"â™ª" "ANNOUNCER:" "September 22, 2016." "From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this isthe Daily Show with Trevor Noah." "(cheering, applause)" "Welcome toThe Daily Show." "Thank you so much for tuning in." "Thank you, everybody." "I'm Trevor Noah." "I'm so excited." "From the CNN series This Is Life," "Lisa Ling is joining us tonight, everybody." "Lisa Ling is here with us." "(cheering, applause)" "But we begin tonight with some really exciting news from the world of technology and medicine." "Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, have a new mission:" "curing all disease." "The two launching the aptly-named" "Chan Zuckerberg Initiative." "Three billion dollars toward curing, preventing and managing all disease by the end of the century." "This is a big goal." "And, you know, we thought that this was really aggressive when we got started." "But we've spent the last few years by going out and talking to dozens and dozens of top scientists and experts who really believe that this is possible." "Wow, man." "I dream of having one of those billionaire T-shirts one day." "They look simple, but they're not." "But that's right, people," "Facebook is gonna cure all disease, yes." "So you know your old, racist uncle?" "Well, good news-- he's immortal now." "But it makes sense... it makes sense that Mark Zuckerberg wants to cure every disease." "Because think about it-- once old people die, there's gonna be no one left using Facebook." "Yeah." "This-this new project is called the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, not to be confused with the 4chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which just makes fun of people with diseases-- a completely, completely different organization." "And-and I must say this-- it's pretty admirable." "It's pretty admirable, but-but the sheer ambition of it-- just think about it-- you know, i-is just funny." "Like, I feel like..." "I feel like it probably started with Mark Zuckerberg saying, "I'm gonna cure one disease."" "And then Justin Timberlake was, like," ""You know what's really cool?"" "Ah, no." "But on the real, though, kudos to Mark Zuckerberg for being a billionaire who's actually trying to help people." "It truly is a wonderful thing to see." "And if he's as successful at fighting diseases as he is at running Facebook, I think he can do it." "Because look at what Facebook has become." "It's no longer just for baby pictures or-or engagements, uh, or baby engagements." "Uh..." "That's right, people, that's right." "Even your ex's baby found love before you did." "Yeah, yeah." "But-but Facebook is now the most popular news source for people under the age of 50." "In fact, a lot of people are watching this right now on Facebook." "By the way, if you are watching this on Facebook, please, uh, click the like button." "Uh, oh, and also, click the smiley face." "And also put a comment." "A-a nice one, preferably." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "Uh, and if you're watching this on TV, thanks for actually paying the bills, unlike those freeloading dicks on Facebook." "(cheering, applause)" "Thanks for watching this on TV, the way it should be watched, where the ratings actually coun..." "Oh, sorry, sorry." "Oh, and by the way, Facebookers, um, before I forget-- please share this video with your friends and family." "You guys truly are the future-- you figured out how to watch this (bleep) for free, and, uh, to be honest, regardless how you watch it," "I just-I just want you to know that I appreciate you." "Sorry about that (bleep) Facebook." "Where was I?" "Uh, oh, yes, yes, the news, the news." "It's great that so many people are engaging in the news, you know, because of Facebook." "But the problem is... the problem is, like with TV news, there's a fair amount of (bleep) in the mix, all right?" "and the-the only problem is..." "the only problem is, unlike TV news, you can't always pinpoint where the (bleep) came from." "For instance, you've probably seen this image online." "Yes?" "You've probably seen it." "You know, an image showing you how white people are five times more likely to be killed by black people than by white people." "And it looks legit." "It's got numbers." "It's from the Crime Statistics Bureau of San Francisco." "Mm." "And it has a black man aiming a gun like this, which you know is legit, because that's the only way players play." "Pop, pop!" "There's just one small problem with this Facebook image." "It's (bleep)." "Yeah." "Because 82% of white murder victims are actually killed by white people." "Yeah." "White on white crime, man." "That's what that is." "And you know-you know how else you know this is (bleep)?" "Yeah, the Crime Statistics Bureau of San Francisco doesn't exist." "There is no Crime Statistics Bureau of San Francisco." "It's made up." "Someone just wrote that on the image to make it seem legit." "You just do that." ""Uh, bureau." And people'll be like, "Whoa, bureau." "Yeah, bureau."" "Yeah, you might as well share crime stats from the Dallas Unicorn Authority." "Yeah." "Which is also not real, because the last unicorn left Dallas for Austin years ago, very long time ago." "Now-now, here's the thing-- it's one thing if your grandmother believes these fake posts, all right?" "But even a presidential candidate fell for this, people." "Yeah, And, granted, I mean, he's also the same person who fell for the deluxe upgrade package at the tanning salon, but still." "But still." "The point is..." "the point is even though it's not checked in any way, 44% of U.S. adults are now getting their news from Facebook." "And the other 56%-- well, they just can't remember their password." "That's why they don't do it." "And fake information isn't even the biggest problem with getting your news from Facebook." "What's even scarier is that Facebook doesn't give youthenews, it gives youyournews." "Right?" "So if you're a conservative, you'll see more conservative news." "Yes?" "If you're a liberal, you'll see more liberal news." "And if you're Donald Trump, you'll only get news about tiny gloves." "It basically caters to what you want to hear." "And the same way cable news has its, uh, Wolfs and its Megyns, Facebook is starting to have stars of its own." "For instance, meet Tomi Lahren." "All right?" "If Facebook is the future of news, then this, my friends, is the voice of the future." "Well, the BET Awards were last night." "Notably they were very black." "Oh, but can I say that?" "With my whiteness and all?" "Well, too damn bad." "(laughter, groaning)" "Goddamn." "I have so much to say about that." "But much like Facebook,The Daily Showstill runs on ads, so, uh, we'll talk about this when we come back." "Welcome back tothe Daily Show." "Now, before the break, we were talking about how Facebook is both dominating the news industry and maybe destroying it." "And we saw one of the most popular voices at the forefront," "Tomi Lahren." "She's a conservative host with her own show on TheBlaze network." "But what people really know her for are the short, punchy, daily attacks that she posts to Facebook, uh, that are called Final Thoughts." "These videos routinely get millions of views, all right?" "Tomi's videos get shared more than the Kardashians share the Game." "And, and here's the really interesting part, despite her numbers, a lot of viewers, like you at home, might never have even seen her, because Facebook doesn't think youwant to see her," "because you probably listed your favorite things as fair trade coffee or Missy Elliott and the bird from Bernie Sanders' podium, uh, who, by the way, is now also with Hillary." "Sellout!" "So, anyway, Tomi is basically like a super famous actor in a foreign country, except the foreign country is your country." "And if you haven't watched one of Tomi's videos yet, you are missing out." "Do you guys... do you guys remember the-the speech" "Jesse Williams gave at the BET Awards, yeah?" "You saw." "It was all big." "All..." "Yeah." "All online, right?" "He spoke out on police brutality, racial inequality, the co-opting of black culture, and a lot of people loved it." "But Tomi, ooh, Tomi had a different take." "I'm sorry, Jesse, but I won't be apologizing for my whiteness, just as you don't need to apologize for your blackness." "It's not white people working to divide America." "It's you!" "You and BeyoncÃ© and Jada Pinkett Smith and Al Sharpton." "Do you see yourself as a victim?" "If so, I feel sorry foryou." "For someone who wants equal rights, it sure sounds like you prefer special treatment." "It sure sounds like you'd like a gold star at the end of the day just for being born." "Get over yourself." "Goddamn!" "So much passion and energy!" "I'm black, and I've never been that excited about the BET Awards." "She was at home and she was like, "Oh, hell no!" ""Hell no!" "This speech is bull(bleep)!" ""And 2 Chainz lost?" "!" "Oh, hell no!"" "Now, now, we could go into the fact that Jesse Williams' speech wasn't actually anti-white people-- it was anti-oppression." "But that's not what this is about." "This is about a crazy, talented person named Tomi Lahren and her amazing ability to take almost any topic and turn it into fire." "Make America Great Again means being able to say" ""God bless America" loudly and proudly." "Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe the thing in your pants really isn't up for negotiation." "You can't say "tranny," "transvestite,"" ""illegal alien," "Indian," "redskin..."" "We get it, you're gay." "Please tell me in what way black Americans are not equal." "I'm waiting." "I know the feminists are gonna go crazy over this." "Guess what, BeyoncÃ©, white people like your music, too." "He's also married to the biggest sack of lies to ever squeeze into a rectangular pantsuit." "Radical Islamic terror is the culprit." "All-out pansy fest." "God bless from Dallas." "Good night and take care." "â™ª" "Wow." "That is the least woke, most awake person I have ever seen." "(cheering and applause)" "And now, and now I'm gonna blow your mind." "She's only 24 years old." "Yeah." "And she's already angrier than 50 Clint Eastwoods." "Tomi has this presence with an unnerving intensity." "She may be young, but she'll surprise you." "She's like a, like a child soldier, you know?" "I didn't even know you guys had them in this country." "Because that BET video, that was good, but-but she was just warming up, because her video about Colin Kaepernick's not standing for the national anthem, that, my friends, is her smash hit." "Colin Kaepernick, I've got some final thoughts for you, bud." "So let me go ahead and eviscerate this mouth diarrhea for you sentence by sentence." "Here we go." "Colin, I support the First Amendment." "I support your right to freedom of speech and expression." "Go for it, bud." "It's this country, the country that you have so much disdain for, that allows you the right to speak your mind." "It protects your right to be a whiny, indulgent, attention-seeking crybaby." "It also protects my right to shred you for it." "And, Colin, if this country disgusts you so much, leave." "Wow, Tomi, that is... that statement is so ignorant." "Kaepernick can't leave." "America's the only place that plays football." "But, but I must say, I do love this logic." ""Shut up and be happy that no one forces you to shut up," ""because that's what makes this country great, is that you can complain, so stop complaining."" "Now, you might be wondering, "Trevor, hey, why do you care what some random person on Facebook says?"" "Because that's just it." "She's not random." "You know how many views her Kaepernick video got?" "65 million." "Yeah." "(audience gasps and groans)" "Do you realize how much that is?" "That's way more than all of cable news combined." "plus network news, plus the country's top newspapers." "People, her video was more popular than that video of the turtle having sex with a shoe." "(laughter)" "Way more popular than that." "Look at that!" "Look at that!" "(laughter)" "Look at that!" "Look at him go!" "Look at him go!" "And again, the turtle finishes first." "Uh... (laughter, applause)" "And-and I know how popular Tomi's videos are." "I know how popular all of it is because the truth is," "I'm..." "I'm one of her fans." "(laughter)" "Yeah, I know, look, I know I shouldn't be." "I know I shouldn't be because I don't agree with so many of the things she says, but still, she's so good at what she does!" "You know, sometimes..." "sometimes I wish" "I could be a guest on her show." "I wish we could be there together, and..." "I wonder what that would look like?" "Maybe you should also decline the paycheck from the white owner of your team, or the white fans that buy your merchandise and fill the stands to watch you play." "There's a statement I don't see you making anytime soon." "And Colin, who's getting away with murderer?" "I'd like to see some evidence to back that up, because that's a pretty strong claim." "And what about the oppression of black people?" "Yeah." "You ask for that evidence, Tomi, because, I mean, there really is a lot of it." "You know, like the cop who got put on desk duty after killing Eric Garner, and actually makes more money now than he did before." "Actually, you know what?" "Just turn on the news." "You'll probably see some evidence." "Sorry." "Sorry." "I don't even..." "I got carried away." "It's your show." "Get 'em, Tomi." "(harp playing)" "(laughter)" "(sighs)" "I'm sorry, Tomi." "(laughter)" "We're from two different worlds." "It just wouldn't work." "I'm from Africa, you're from heaven." "(laughter)" "But, hey, we'll always have Facebook, as soon as you respond to my friend request." "I'm sure you just missed it." "We'll be right back." "(applause and cheering)" "Welcome back tothe Daily Show." "My guest tonight is a journalist, the host of CNN's This is Life with Lisa Ling." "WOMAN:" "Mentally ill are very unpredictable." "You're kind of walking on eggshells." "There's two milks, and there's two cereals." "I don't have lunch yet." "(man shouting indistinctly)" "Okay." "Okay, I'll come back." "LING:" "Do you feel fear when you're doing your job?" "Every once in a while, but I love what I do." "I have the patience for it, and" "I enjoy trying to make a positive difference in people's lives who are hurting." "Please welcome Lisa Ling!" "(cheers and applause)" "(applause and cheering swell)" "Welcome to the show." "Thank you." "I'm such a huge fan of you and your show and your dimple and..." "The feeling is mutual." "Thank you very much." "(laughter)" "Thank you so much." "That's weird." "Um..." "Sorry." "I..." "Okay, now I'm on the spot." "Hi." "Welcome to the show." "Big fans of yours in the building." "Big fan of what you're doing." "Congratulations, first of all." "This is the third season of your show now." "Yes." "Thank you." "So congratulations on that." "That's exciting." "Thank you." "Premiering on Sunday." "(applause and cheering)" "Yeah." "Let's get straight into it." "You know, you say "this is life," but is this really life?" "You go out there, and you discover worlds" "that I think a lot of people don't even know exist." "Well, honestly, that's why I feel so lucky to be able to do it." "I mean, I really feel like by getting to know each other better, getting to know worlds that you may be unfamiliar with, we become smarter people, um, we become better people, and I think, ultimately, that's our goal." "I mean, we don't become Tomi whatever." "God." "24 years old?" "How do you...?" "Like, how are you so angry?" "It's insane, right?" "It's insane." "Yeah." "Yeah." "But if you live in a world where you believe that youonlyshould be angry, than I guess it makes sense." "Yeah, and our show does the opposite, you know?" "It really gives you a chance to let people talk and gives you a chance to get to know people, rather than judging them off the bat." "In this episode, or the clip from the episode that we saw, you went to, I guess, one of the largest prisons in America." "The largest jail in America." "Yeah." "The largest jail in America." "Yes." "Yeah." "It's my hometown of Los Angeles." "It's the largest jail system in the country, maybe even all of the free world." "It's also the largest mental health institution in the country and the biggest..." "But how?" "How does that...?" "That shouldn't be, though." "It shouldn't be, but Los Angeles County alone is just massive, and so, as a result of this population, the jails and prison system-- they're just exploding." "Yeah." "When you went into this environment," "I mean, you obviously plan ahead and you know a lot, you have the information, you have the facts ahead of you." "But what are the things you discover once you get into the jail?" "What are the things that blow your mind, even though you're expecting almost everything?" "Well, this jail is unlike any jail system" "I've ever experienced." "I mean, I've done work inside prisons in this country, in jails in this country, even some overseas, and this place is just, uh, kind of a beast unto itself." "I mean, the-the biggest facility, it's seven facilities, but the biggest is the men's central jail." "And the-the architecture is entirely antiquated, and there are thousands of men, and it's just this teeming environment," "with such gang politics," "Yeah." "and so many issues involved." "Los Angeles is the gang capital of the country, and, so, navigating those politics is incredibly complex." "And it's a system that has been mired in controversy for years, and-and there have been so many allegations of the abuse of inmates, and-and those allegations lead all... led all the way to the top, even to the sheriff." "There's-there's another episode coming up in the series," "Yeah." "where you go into the Philadelphia Police Department, and I think that, especially with what's happening right now in America," "is particularly intriguing," "Yeah." "because they gave you access into their world, and they seem to be acknowledging that they do have problems?" "Well, you know, not a day goes by, it seems, that we aren't hearing about police-involved shootings." "You know, Charlotte, Oklahoma, perfect examples." "And the Philly Police Department gave us very rare access to embed with them." "And over the years they have really been trying to implement some new things that seem to be working." "The incidents of-of violence by-by police officers has-has been reduced." "And a couple of their main things," "I mean, they-they are deploying police body cameras." "And-and the cops that we spent time seem to be in favor of that." "Because often, they say," "that when we these images," "Yeah." "we don't see them from when the police officers first arrive." "Often citizen cameras catch them a little bit later." "But the police chiefs, uh, the current chief and the previous chief, they have implemented a lot more training." "And the police officers we spent time with had been in the department for many, many years, and they said that this training has really helped a tremendous amount." "And-and-and one has to wonder whether police officers throughout the country are getting the same levels of training," "because we spent time with six police officers." "Yeah." "And most of them had been with the department for many, many years, and only one had ever discharged his weapon." "Of the six." "Like, ever?" "Ever." "Ever in their entire careers." "So we see so many images of-of-of police brutality, and-and officer-involved shootings, so our assumption is it's happening so often." "But I think that the majority..." "The assumption..." "Yeah." "The assumption is that a lot" "of police officers are..." "Are aimlessly firing." "in a space where they're doing this... yes." "Yeah." "But I think that the majority of police officers do try to do the best job they can." "But they-they..." "their-their image, obviously, gets tarnished by-by the news reports." "Was there a moment where, candidly, you were able to discuss this?" "Because, it is true-- and, I mean, there are unions." "There are institutions." "It's very different because the public reacts viscerally." "Police are within a body." "But were there moments where some of the police said to you," ""Hey, I get there are bad cops and I don't know what to do about it."" "Or that "I understand why the image is tarnished."" "Was there some sort" "Oh, absolutely." "of reconciling with what was happening?" "Absolutely." "The police officers we spent time with," "I mean, th-th-they're feeling pretty demoralized." "They... a lot of them went into police work because they really wanted to be cops." "They really wanted to help people." "And-and, uh, because of all of the news, and-and that's not to undermine the egregious acts of violence that we've seen, but they-they have a hard time." "Because they-they don't feel the pride that they felt when they, when they became police officers." "But one of the other things they're trying to implement in Philly, um, is when you graduate from the academy, for six months you have to be on foot patrol," "so you have to go into the community," "Community, yes." "and get to know the folks in the community." "Allow them to get to know you, and, so, you have to do that." "And so those three things..." "And that's interesting," "So that you can see them as people." "Yes." "So those three things, the body cameras, more training, and-and getting cops on to the streets seems to be working in Philly." "And I hope other police departments take a page from it." "Well, I will say this, just watching a few of the episodes from your show has just, uh, opened my mind and I hope everyone, uh, joins in." "So congrats on everything you're doing." "Thank you." "Here's to many more seasons." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "Thanks to more dimples." "Thank you for being here." "The season premiere of This is Life With Lisa Ling airs Sunday, September 25th at 10:00 p.m. on CNN." "Lisa Ling, everybody!" "That's our show for tonight." "Thank you so much for tuning in." "Stay tuned for@midnight coming up next." "Now, uh, now-now, um, today's Moment of Zen is really special." "I will say this, rumors of my death, while amusing, have been greatly exaggerated." "Have some sadness about what's happened at Comedy Central." "In... what, in terms of?" "Well, the two-two people who succeeded both Jon and Stephen, you know, are no longer going to be there." "The two people..." "Larry?" "Larry Wilmore." "Larry Wilmore." "Who else is going?" "D-did I... am I misunderstanding that I thought Trevor was going?" "I think Trevor-- unless you are firing him live on TV." "I'm not firing him." "Which is an amazing scoop." "Please don't fire me in real-time as well."
