Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:31 you get your podcast. March 19th, 2018. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. What's going on, people? Welcome to the data show, I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much, take a seat. Welcome to it, thank you for tuning in. My guest tonight, the mayor of New Orleans is joining us. Mitch Landrieu is here, everybody. For first, the first, you know all that data you give to Facebook so that everyone can see it?
Starting point is 00:01:22 Well, it turns out out they let everyone see it. Tonight, Cambridge Analytica, a data company tied to President Trump's 2016 campaign is under investigation by Facebook, accused by the internet giant of mishandling more than 50 million Americans' personal information. Cambridge Analytica would create online quizzes. When Facebook users opted in to those innocent-looking tests, they were actually giving Cambridge Analytica access to not just their data, but that of all their friends. I knew it!
Starting point is 00:01:54 I always knew those Facebook quizzes were suspicious. What Hogwarts house are you in? Enter your Social Security number to find out. And you know what's really messed up? Is that people who are hired by the Trump campaign, they got access to your data because your friend took a quiz. Like now I'm getting hacked because your dumb ass had nothing better to do on a Saturday night?
Starting point is 00:02:16 That's a bullshit. This is super shady when you think about it, right? Because think about everything a political campaign could learn from your Facebook, right? They could learn which charities I support, what issues make me angry, which ex-girlfriends I'm still not over. All of them. But let's move on, even though I haven't. Did, uh, did you guys have a good St. Patrick's Day?
Starting point is 00:02:41 Yeah? Yeah? Well, I know one Irishman who didn't. Breaking news on a Friday night, Andrew McAve, the former FBI deputy director, fired tonight by the Attorney General Jeff Sessions. McAve denies any wrongdoing, but an Inspector General report concluded he authorized a conversation between FBI officials and a journalist about a Clinton foundation probe.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And then he misled investigators about it. Both the IG and the Office of Professional Responsibility found that he lacked candor, which is a firing offense. Wow, I didn't know that. You can get fired from the FBI for lack of candor. Yeah, the FBI must be a brutally honest place to work. Just like I got a new haircut. What do you think? thi. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their thin, thin, thr-c. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. their their their their their their their for lack of candor. Yeah, the FBI must be a brutally honest place to work. Just like, I got a new haircut. What do you think? You look like shit?
Starting point is 00:03:31 I'm so sorry. It looks like a squirrel died on your head. I need to keep my job. But this is a big deal. Andrew McCabe, number two at the FBI has been fired. Now, the Justice Department says it's thia thia th. th is is is is is is is is. th. th. th. th. thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, th, th, th, th, th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th th th th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theean thean thi. thean thi. thi. thean thi. thi. thi. thi. thi because McCabe lied about leaking information to the press, but McCabe has a different theory. McCabe says his firing was part of a wider effort to discredit the FBI and the Moller investigation. He says he was singled out because of events he witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of FBI director James
Starting point is 00:03:59 Komi. Trump and Jeff Sessions have been attacking Andrew McCabe. They are probably worried that McCabe could be a very key supporting witness to possible obstruction of justice charges or any other wrongdoing by Trump in handling the Russia inquiry. Oh, okay, that's interesting. So McCabe says he got fired because he's got dirt on Donald Trump. Right, he's got info on the Comey firing He was part of the Russia investigation He knows that Trump bought a sex doll shaped like himself and then try to deduct it as a business expense
Starting point is 00:04:33 That last one's not a true story, but it could be But look just because McCabe was closely involved in the investigations into Trump and his campaign doesn't mean that Trump was going to come after him. However, however, it doesn't help that for the last year, Trump has been trashing McCabe on Twitter. Trump accused him of plotting with Comey. He accused him of taking money from Hillary. Trump even accused McCabe of looking like every background extra on madman. Which, to be fair, he's right about that one. I can see it. And unlike most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most trtle troe troe troe troes troes troes troes tre that one. I can see it. I can see it. And unlike most Twitter trolls, Trump didn't keep the insults online.
Starting point is 00:05:05 One of his best stories about the president hating McCabe. One of the best stories I've heard came out after Comie was fired, right? When Trump was so angry that he roasted McCabe about his wife, the wife losing a't been asked to authorize Comie's flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it. The president was silent for a moment, then turned on McCabe. Ask your wife how it feels to be a loser, Trump said. Mcabe replied, okay sir.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Trump hung up the phone. Wow. I'm sorry, but Donald th, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, 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. 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. He. th. thi. thi. to. to. to to to thr-a. too. too. too. to too. too. too. an asshole was an arcade game, he would have all the top scores. Because, no, because think about it. He's mad at Comey, right? He's mad at Comey. So he insults McCabe's wife because she ran for a Senate seat and lost. That's so messed up, especially since Trump should know what it's like to have a wife who wants to run. Come on. And poor McCave, he's so FBI that he gets insulted and he's just like, okay, okay, sir.
Starting point is 00:06:15 That's all he does? Because like the commandant chief insults him. He treats it like it's an order. Why don't you ask your wife why you're so bad and bad? Okay, sir. Honey, The President has a question. So again, again, again, it's well-it. It's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's well. that's well, it's well, it's well, it's well, it's well, that's well, that's well, that's well, that's well, that's well-that's well-that's well-that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the President the President the President the President the President the President the President the President that's the President the President that's the President, the President, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's well, that's well, that's well the that's well the the the President. the President the President the President the President the President the President the President the President the President the President the the the the the the the the the the the throooenen the the thr-, honey the president has a question. So again, again, it's well known that President Trump wasn't a fan of Andrew McKay, but still that doesn't prove that he conspired to have McCabe fired. It is suspicious though that back in December Trump tweeted McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go. And then writes at the deadline. Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe fired tonight by Attorney General Jeff Sessions just two days before McCabe was going to retire. His pension now gone. That was just 26 hours before McCabe was due to retire on his 50th birthday.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Okay, that is heartless. He doesn't get his pension and his birthday is ruined. Like, that's a double win for Trump, because he fires an enemy and he gets to eat his birthday cake. Happy birthday to you. Like firing someone on their birthday is the worst gift you can give them. Well, I mean, it's that or a gift card from Radio Shack. Like, wow, now I can buy that walk that walk that walk that walk that walk that that that that that that that that that I can from Radio Shack. Like wow now I can buy that Walkman to listen to my Culeo CD. Can't live these non-stop lies living in a gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag. You know it's funny as young kids won't know what I'm doing right now? They'll be like, what is that Trevor? What? That was the life we lived. It was a hard one.
Starting point is 00:07:45 So in the end, Trump appears to have been extra vindictive about this, right? He said he didn't want McCabe to get his pension, and it looks like he made sure that that happened. And we don't know for sure what happened. But that's how it looks. Like, if you've been saying for a year, I wish my dickhead husband to get killed by a 1982 Dodge Caravan, and then three months later, your husband gets killed by a 1, 1982 Dodge Caravan. Don't be shocked when the cops show up, like, ma'am, we suspect that you killed your dickhead husband with a 1982 Dodge Caravan.
Starting point is 00:08:11 But I love that dickhead, I did. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Because Trump involved himself so personallyto think McCabe's firing was about politics and not process. And because of that, people are now saying, Comey got fired, McCabe got fired, who could possibly be next? President Trump is taking direct aim at Robert Mueller in the Russian investigation. Something of a milestone from the president over the weekend for the first time going after special counsel Robert Mueller by name.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Saying the investigation into Russian influence in the presidential election should never have started. Mr. Trump's tweets have some wondering if he's considering firing Robert Mueller. I mean, he's definitely considering it. You know how they say men think about sex every eight seconds? That's what Trump does with firing people. Yeah, when Trump meets a new person, that's what he fantasizes about. He's like, oh man, it was so awesome to fire that lady. I would fire her so hard.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Oh my God, I want to fire her right now. But the point is, Trump is going after Mueller by name for the first time. So Robert Mullah, I don't know when your next birthday is, but something tells me the president may be planning a surprise. We'll be right back. 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.
Starting point is 00:09:48 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. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is the two-term Democratic mayor of New Orleans and author of the new book in the shadow of statues a white southerner confronts history. Please welcome Mayor Mitch Landrieu. How are you? Welcome to the show. Thank you very much for having me. The title of the book is intriguing. The contents are even more amazing.
Starting point is 00:10:31 In the shadow of statues, a white southerner confronts history. That is exactly what you are. A white southerner. That comes with a certain connotation. It comes with a certain stereotype attached to it. But do you think there is something about being a white southerner that gives you a different way of thinking in America? Well, I think so, it gives you a different perspective.
Starting point is 00:10:48 First of all, I love the South. It's a great place. I love the city of New Orleans and the people and the people and the people. But when you're dealing with the issue of race, which is one that we have not dealt with, their with, the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to speak it in a way that invites people to a different place. Right. And we've had a hard time doing that in this country. And of course, it's beginning to raise its head again. And every time it does that, I think we have an obligation, especially from your South, to confront the issue and to deal with it so that we can heal a divided nation. As a white person from the South. why or do you understand why it is so hard for people to speak about racism? Is there something, some truth that you've gone it from your fellow
Starting point is 00:11:27 southerners where you've gone like, oh I understand why nobody wants to speak about this? Well I actually think it's a national thing. I don't think it's just in the South. And there are those of us from the South who want to tell the the the South, we doof, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, their, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. And not everybody in the South is or has ever been a bad person. But the Confederacy has always occupied this mythical place in the mind of a lot of people. And I don't think it should be hard in the second decade of the 21st century to say the Confederacy was on the wrong side of history. It was fought to destroy the country, not united, and it was fought for the purpose of preserving slavery,
Starting point is 00:12:03 which which which which the w w w w w w've done in this country because if you can't do that it's really kind of hard to move forward and to find common ground which is what I think we really have to do in this country especially now when when you say that that line of like in the South and it's it's a racial problem nationwide do you ever wonder if that's part of the that for a long time it feels like northern white people in America have used racism as a cudgel against southern whites. It's always felt like that's been a bit of the discussion which is like well they're the racist ones, there's no racism up here. Do you think it would move forward if like white northerners would say, oh we're racist and you guys also racist and let's sort it out together? I do
Starting point is 00:12:37 think it would be helpful if everybody in the country recognize r was a national problem. It's been part of our ethos for a long time. There have been a number of books that have been written about the diaspora, so many African Americans and other people that actually left the South and went to other places and met resistance there as well. It's built into the country's DNA. It's something that we've made a lot of progress. It's something that we've made a lot of progress. It's something that we've made a lot of progress, but clearly we have a long way to go. And I say this to you when I heard about your book, and just the truth of born a crime, that's actually the way it was. If you had one ounce of black blood in the South, then you would describe this being African-American, which is really strange, because I think that my great-great-grand-. So really, in a weird side of way, this blonde-haired, blue-eyed person may be considered black in the South,
Starting point is 00:13:27 even maybe, even today. Because of that one-drop rule. Because of that one-drop rule, which is insane, and you write about that in your book as well. And how irrational it all is. Right, and that was something that. When you look at the story of the Confederate statues, you were in the epicenter of this. Four statues in Louisiana that you were trying to take down, and you would think, I mean, that it would be a simple exercise, but it turned to one where
Starting point is 00:13:55 you were receiving death threats. Construction companies refused to bring it down. You couldn't get a crane to do the work. You had to bring in people from out people out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, the, the, to, to, to, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, the, the, the, and, the, to, te.a, too, too, and, too, too, try.a, try.a, too, the, the, the, the, the crane to do the work, you had to bring in people from out of state. Were you shocked at the backlash? I was surprised at how visceral the backlash was and how people really outside of New Orleans, notwithstanding the fact that they were not from there, felt that they had some ownership over property that the people of New Orleans owned in a city that was now 60% African-American. And I was surprised that it was so hard tha thaped thired thired thired thired thired thired thired thired thired surprised it was surprised it was surprised it was surprised it was surprised it was surprised it was surprised it was surprised it was so so so so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard that it was so hard. I was surprised it was surprised that it was so hard. I was surprised that it was so hard. I was so that it was so thii. thi. I was so thi. thi. I was so th. I was so th. I was so th. I was so th. I was surprised, I was surprised, I was surprised, I was surprised, I was surprised, I was surprised, I was surprised. I was surprised. I was surprised. I was surprised. I was surprised. I was so surprised. I was so thi. I was surprised it was so thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I was surprised thi. I was surprised thi. I was surprised that it was so hard. I thought that after the murders in Mother Emmanuel in Charlotte, when they took down the Confederate statute, that the nation would finally come to grips with this particular issue and realize that these particular statutes were not true, that they were part of a historic lie. And by the way, it was in the midst of us rebuilding the city of New Orleans after the destruction of Katrina. So we were trying to build the city back not the way it was, but the way it kind of should
Starting point is 00:14:46 have been if we would have gotten it right the first time. So yeah, I was surprised and disappointed by how hard it was. What's interesting in the book is you talk about your journey as well in discovering the pain and the message that comes with the Confederate statues. And I really found that intriguing.. I that I that I. You acknowledge that you didn't see the statues at all in fact. And it was a friend of you, a jazz musician who had to bring it to your attention and had to say, imagine how it feels for a black person. Well, he wasn't just any jazz musician.
Starting point is 00:15:14 He was actually the greatest one in the world, Wentz. Wrenn't more. Wentz. Wrenn't, who th. Wren, who th. Wren, th. Wren, th. Wren, th. Wren, th. Wren, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. th. ta as the mayor of the city to help me curate the 300th anniversary of the great city of New Orleans, which we're about to celebrate, by the way, and went and said to me, I'll help you. He says, but you need to do something for me. And I said, well, you need to do something for me, and I said, well, you know who put them, their, and theycourtour is is is is is thoes, and thoes, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, and, and, thoes, and, and, and, they, and, and, they, and, their, and, their, and, their, and, their, their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the.... the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the to. the the the the to. the the the the the the the the the the the the the who put him up or why they're there? And he said, can you imagine them from my perspective and what I think about them and how they made me feel? And then the next thing he said really kind of hit me in the head with a brick was that Lewis Armstrong left the city because of those statues. And of course, right?
Starting point is 00:15:57 I felt very silly. My head, thrown, theyme. to. to. to's the explanation symbolically of the great diaspora. Five million African Americans left the South. Now can you imagine how much we lost with all of that talent, all that raw talent, people who are doctors, lawyers, musicians left and took their talent to New York and Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles, and we're the worst for it. And so the message of the book is really an invitation to people to be open to the fact that because we made that mistake and we can't admit it, that we are the ones who are losing, not just African Americans have been sent away. Because the country's better when we understand and go towards diversity, because diversity
Starting point is 00:16:35 is a strength, it's not a weakness, it adds value to all of us. When you look at... at when you speak to southerners who agree with you on the racism side but still don't understand how the statues themselves represent the racism, how do you try and communicate that because I've seen people say oh no look I agree with you. I think the confederacy was bad and I think that these statues should be removed. But at the same time, we can't just erase history. Yeah, well, there are a couple of things. Some people never noticed the statues as symbolic of anything. There were just the places where the mother or father took him too. to watch. to watch. to be. to be. I, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, their, their, their, their, the statues, the statues, their, their, their, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, the statues, took, took, took, took, took, took, took, took, took, the statues. took, took, took, and took, their, and thau. their, and thau. thau. thau. their, and their, and their, their, it. There were people who had ancestors that fought in the Confederacy
Starting point is 00:17:27 that thought that taking them down would would misremember or do injustice to the people that serve. I just simply think there are places for remembrance and their places for reverence. Museums are places for remembrance so that we never forget and consequently never repeat. Special places outside that are part of the public that people walk by who own them, like a 12-year-old African-American girl, should not have to walk under a statue of an individual that fought to destroy her life and her freedom.
Starting point is 00:17:53 That's not something that the city of New Orleans has really ever been. And so when, for those people that say, they want to remember history, the totality of history. We don't really have a lot of slave ships around. There are a lot of places where people were lynched are the place where most people in America were sold into slavery, which is in New Orleans. If we want to tell the whole story, we should do that in context. And if we're not going to do that, let's just remember the things
Starting point is 00:18:14 that we did, admit that we did them wrong. where we all want to get in the country. When you look at... When you look at the narrative that many white people in America have of them being the victims, you know, it's easy to say that that's a lie, that's not true statistics, numbers, etc. But there are many white people, as you know, not just in the South who say, was a white man, as a white woman, I feel like I'm being oppressed now. I feel like my future is coming to an end. I'm actually the victim in this.
Starting point is 00:18:51 How do you begin these discussions with them? How have you found any breakthrough possible with people who are resistant to the idea? the change? Wrigue. any kind of discrimination is all the fruit of the same poisonous tree from like an issue of hate. And throughout the country, apartheid in South Africa, you saw this in Germany, that when people are hurting, when they feel alienated, when they don't feel like somebody sees them and they're angry and they're afraid, they will turn on each other. And we'll seen that through humankind for a long time, which is why I take take take take tak tak tak tak tak tak tak tak tak tak thake thake thake thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. thi, th. thi thi thi this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. throooooooooananananananananananan. thee an throoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooism. But it is true that everybody deserves to be seen. So when people who are poor that live in Appalachia
Starting point is 00:19:29 who have been left behind by the economics or trade or technology, we do have to see them. There's no use in litigating whether our hurt was as bad as your hurt, when a father and a mother, whether they're black or white are trying to feed their family and they cannot get a job and nobody can see them and nobody cares about them, they feel left out so they'll strike back and they'll cause the rise of a demagogue to lead them in the country. And I think we have to pay attention to that.
