You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever

you get your podcast. February 26, 2018. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears edition. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. And welcome.

Welcome so much. Welcome to the day of the show. I'm Trevor. Thank you so much for shooting. Welcome to the day of the show. I'm Shet Nawa. Thank you so much for shooting and take a seat. Take a seat. Our guest tonight, our guest tonight from the Broadway production of Kinky Boots, Wayne Brady is here. But first, breaking news from across the Pacific, where like Apple with our iPhones, President Jijinping has it made in China. President Xi Jinping may be allowed to stay in office for the rest of his life if he wants.

China's ruling Communist Party plans to change the country's constitution to remove a two-term limit on holding the presidency. Now that move almost certainly means Jijin the president will stay on as president when his term ends in 2023. Whoopoo! Xi Jinping will stay on as president when his term ends in 2023. Whoop-woo! Jijin-Ping, president for life! Woo-woo!

Yeah, it makes sense. China gets rid of its one child policy and replaces it with the one president policy. It works out, you know? And this is really big, because presidential term limits were basically the one feature of an actual democracy that China had. So the concern now is that after years of a thiiiiiiaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s-a-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s, thiiioli-s, thi-s, thi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi-s, thi-s, thii-s, thi-s, thii-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thin.eeei-s.ei-s.ei-s.eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi had. So the concern now is that after years of relative reform, China is heading back into a complete dictatorship. Yeah, but if I were China, I'll just be like, hey guys, we love democracy and we're totally going to be one,

but then we saw what democracy did in America. And that was not a fortune cookie we were willing to crack. Yeah. Because imagine if, if like like somehow China elected a Chinese Trump, yeah? Except he'd be one of those Chinese knockoffs. We'll be like, folks, we've got to break down the wall. And Mexico's still going to pay for it! But let's move on.

Let's move on. Because Congress is returning from break. And like most Americans, they're discussing two things. One, gun control, and two, how awesome Black Panther is. Yeah. Even Mitch McConnell is like, from now on, y'all can call me the Senate's Tachala. Yeah. Ask me who I am. Dingo Mitch

McConnell. Yeah. The kakka. Nigger Mitch McConnell. Did I do it right? Gnok. Now of course we know what pace Congress moves at. But fortunately corporate America is already taking action. A growing number of companies are breaking up with the NRA because their customers are demanding it target of companies are breaking up with the NRA because their customers are demanding it, targeting companies that offer discounts to NRA members. Symantec, MetLife, multiple car rental agencies, all ending their relationship with the NRA their relationship with the NRA. The latest also Delta and United Airlines, both of them coming out and saying that they are ending their discounted flights for NRA members. Okay, I'm less surprised that corporations are canceling NRA discounts than I am that

corporations were giving them discounts in the first place. Like how does the NRA even get discount? How did they get that? Well, the NRA members just there, like, we'd like a discount? But still, like, this is the NRA that we're talking about. Like I would understand if airlines offer cheaper tickets to doctors you know because they're useful to have on board but if you're on a flight and someone suddenly having a heart attack no one's ever like help does anyone

on this flight have a raging hard on for the Second Amendment? Anybody? So while that's happening meanwhile the people of Parkland are looking at whether the Second Amendment? Anybody? So, while that's happening, meanwhile, the people of Parkland are looking at whether the Broward's County Sheriff's Department could have done more to stop the tragedy. One deputy, Scott Peterson, who was armed and in uniform, clearly knew there was an active shooter, but stayed in his position outside Building 12. The sheriff says video shows the deputy doing nothing for more than four minutes. So while the shooting was happening, an armed deputy stayed outside the school doing nothing. And that's heartbreaking. And look, I don't know why that deputy

failed to enter the school. I mean, personally, I wouldn't go into a high school, but period. Yeah, like one time I gave a't go into a high school, but period. Yeah. Like, one time I gave a motivational speech at a high school and a bunch of ninth graders called me apartheid mc dimples. It was brutal. So I'm never going back. But look, you have to admit, what this deputy did was inexcusable. He just blew off the basic purpose of his job.

And when people found this out, they didn't wait four minutes to go in on him. There's no one I talked to that is not disgusted, that the local sheriff's deputy that was there did not go in and kill that individual. An armed guard appears to have really, really failed to do his job. The sheriff has to go. He has to resign. The deputy's actions were unconscionable unconsonsonsthat was harsh. It was like hearing the white people version of F. The police. And this time, it's not, it's not enough just to deal with the law

enforcement's bad apples. No. Some people want to clean house, starting at the top with Sheriff's Scott Israel. More than 70 Republican state lawmakers on Sunday demanded Florida Governor Rick Scott suspend Israel. More than 70 Republican state lawmakers on Sunday demanded Florida Governor Rick Scott suspend Israel. The same day, Scott announced a state-run investigation into the law enforcement response to the shooting. Are you really not taking any responsibility for the multiple red flags that were brought to the attention of the Broward Sheriff's Office about this shooter before

the incident, whether it was people near him, close to him, calling the police on him? Jake, I could only take responsibility for what I knew about. I exercises my due diligence. I've given amazing leadership to this agency. Amazing leadership? I've worked... Yes, Jake. Amazing leadership? You can see Jake Tapper in his mind, did a spectacular... What? I'm amazing leadership? I'm a Amazing leadership? You can see Jake Tapper in his mind did the spit take. He was like, what? Amazing leadership? I'm sorry, but no.

Denzel Washington, and remember the Titans? That was amazing leadership. Yeah. Denzel in Malcolm X, that was amazing leadership. Denzel in Coach Carter? That was Samuel Al Jackson. You're racist. Look, it's clear that the deputy didn't do his job. He was armed. He was at the school and he didn't help. Now, for some people, this shows exactly why there's no point in arming teachers. Because if a trained officer didn't come to the rescue, then

how is Mrs. Flanderson going to do any better? But for others, for others, the deputy failing to go in shows exactly why you need teachers to be strapped. A lot of us have said you need to arm teachers carrying concealed because you can't count on the prevention or that you're going to catch him every time. A security guard doesn't know the children, doesn't love the children. This man standing outside of the school the other day doesn't love the children, probably doesn't know the children. The teachers love their children. They love their pupils. So what we need is someone who loves high school kids and knows their way around guns. Wait a second, I know just the guy. Yeah.

What? The dude needs a job! Call work at the mall, come on. Here's what frustrates me in this gun violence discussion. People make it seem like there's only one problem and only one solution. It's the guns, no, it's the cops. Maybe it's both. Maybe it's both. Like, there are some problems with more than one factor to them.

You know, like it's, yes, she met someone more attractive. But you're also an asshole. So you have to work work to workthose factors, by becoming a nicer person and by disfiguring your rival. Right? It's the same with school shootings. Maybe with better training, the deputy would have known how to go into the situation while still keeping himself relatively safe. But maybe with better gun laws, once the deputy did go into the school, he wouldn't have

to face a teenager with an AR-15. Yeah. There's no one solution. There's no one solution that will solve all mass shootings, except for this one solution. I got to watch some deputy sheriffs performing this weekend. They weren't exactly Medal of Honor winners. All right. You know, I really believe, you don't know until you test it, but I think I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon. I like that he's honest enough to say, look, I haven't tested this. But I think, yeah, I think I would run in. Without a weapon, yeah, I think I would run in. I think I would. I think I would, I would. I think, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would. I would. I would. I would. I would. I would. I would. I would. I would. I would. I think, I think, I think, I th th th th th th think think think think think, I would think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te t I think I would run in.

Without a weapon, yeah, I think I would. I think I would. I think I would. To be fair, to be fair, if Donald Trump ran into a school during a shooting, I do believe he would actually stop the shooting. Because imagine you're a school shooter and Donald Trump appears in the hallway. How distracting would that be? We'll just be like, that's right, it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th.

How distracting would that be? We'll just be like, that's right, it's me. Donald Trump, I don't have a gun,

but what I do have is an amazing electoral college victory. They said I couldn't win. 736 college, but I did it, folks. I did it. I did it. I did it so good. Like, eight minutes later, the police show up, Trump is still talking, the kid is like, what the hell is happening here? It would work. For like, for real though, for real, I think I'd run in there, even if I didn't have a weapon.

Really? Yeah? It would be ridiculous coming from anyone, but especially from Trump. He's gonna run in? Yo, when Trump ran for president, that was the first time he ran in his entire life. Come on, man. You're telling me, this guy is brave enough to run into an unarmed, he's brave enough to run into a school shooting, I don't read it. This guy? Really? The same guy, the same guy, the same guy who clungungungungungungungungungungungung to to to to to to to to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to run to a school shooting, I don't really... This guy? Really?

The same guy, the same guy who clung to a secret service agent like he was the last life vest on the Titanic. That guy? That guy? Really. Trump cares so much about helping people, that he'd jump into the middle of a school shooting with nothing but he's fun-sized fists, really?

That guy? But, but he's also the same guy who proudly tells this story. I'll tell you what, I was at Marlago, and we had this incredible ball. A man, about 80 years old, very wealthy man, a lot of people didn't like him. He fell off the stage. So what happens is this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, oh my God, that's disgusting and I turned away. He's bleeding all over the place. I felt terribly. You know, beautiful marble floor. It didn't look so good. It changed kind of. Really? That guy was gonna run in and stop a school shooter.
