howie, trevor noah turns out to have some controversial thoughts. or i guess comic thoughts on jews, on women, on african-americans. you tell me is it a problem? >> not to mention ty hooker's so-called fat chicks. some of these tweets, megyn, you can't read on the air. it's amazing in 24 hour ths previously ob secure at least in this country south african comic has gone from hero to zero as people dug up these tweets. and many of these jokes offend me. rather than taking on the powerful, rather than taking on politicians or business leaders or self-important journalists, he's going after groups that are pretty easily marginalized. >> like heavy women right. >> come on. >> that's what they need. >> it's so cheap. >> kick them again. here's a couple more for the audience. originally when men propose they went down on one knee. so if they said no they were in the perfect upper cut position. so they could punch the woman that said no to them? the weekend people are going to get drunk and think i'm sexy, a quote he attributes to fat chicks everywhere. an

do you tweet, trevor? trevor: i think they will raise rates.out their fed rating expectations. the fed was pretty dovish overnight. they are going to bounce back from that week first quarter where you had a lot of upside damage from capex. a lot of companies have cut capital spending massively. you are likely to see it more gradual positive from the consumer. i think the u.s. will bounce back. i think the year on year change in the energy price will factor in. i think the year on year impacts will be inflationary. guy: talking about the fact that this will be the loosest rate tightening cycle we have ever seen. terminal rates will be well below historic averages. is that right? trevor: it could well be, about terminal rates. what i would say is that the similarity to me is like the 1990's. we had lots of spare capacity we had the collapse of japan, the opening up of the soviet union's monetary supply, china slowing down in the background. the backdrop is a dis-inflationary backdrop. as long as you get the china slowdown being the main story, it

trevor noah or is it noah trevor? anyone, he's a 31-year-old comedian from south africa.s graced the covers of south africa can editions of "gq" and "rolling stone." is dad is a white swiss-german. mixed unions weren't allowed under the old apartheid policy. >> so they had me which was illegal so i was born a crime.

i think what he said was not anti-sametic and i foe trevor. i know trevor. he is always nice except for when he said the jews killed christ. other than that he was nice. >> i those it was handled perfectly. you do that, you point out the absurd tee of the pc police. you make it funny and make fun of them. i thought it was handled brilliantly. >> i thought his comedy was fantastic. i was awake last night when he did the tweet storm. i thought the one of 53 things -- i thought it was a joke. i thought that was part of the joke. when he got to the eighth tweet and it was clear he wasn't i muted him for a day. unless it is vin diesel tweeting about fast and furious i am not reading anybody's tweet storm. i agree with the point he was making. a couple of hours before he did this neil brennan who was involved with "the chappelle show." said imagine how much funnier richard prior would have been if he had think pieces and other things to guide him. to me that was in one brilliant tweet. honestly i like that better. >> you have definitely muted me on twitter. >> it

so when i saw what trevor noah was saying his digs at fat chicks. first i thought, you can't handle a fat chick. as a fat chick i can say it. but secondly, he has to build our trust and i don't think he has it just yet. that the level of sophistication that is required to step into john stewart's shoes. the old jokes that didn't land as he said, the question is whether that is how he usually constructs his comedy. >> part of the point here is policing of language can be positive when it helps people rethink the words and culture that can hold people down. but comedy is special and different and satire is important. jerry seinfeld was talking about this in a potential oversensitivity. take a listen to this. >> you're not worried that we're becoming this very gentle respectful culture that people won't be funny anymore. >> i'm worried that every time i see a comedian apologize, just to end it, just because you took what i said seriously doesn't mean i now meant it. it doesn't mean you get to decide that you're in my head and know my intent. if i'm say
