Thank you.
So let's catch up on today's headlines.
Let's kick it off with the story that has been blowing up online today.
It involves a zoo, a fence, and a woman who's seen the Lion
King way too many times.
From the category of Lucky to be alive, take a look at this video of a woman who crossed
a safety barrier at the Brock Zoo here in New York and had a close encounter with a lion.
The animal kept to itself, but the zoo said the woman's action was unlawful and could have resulted in serious injury or death. You gotta wonder what the lion's thinking here.
Oh, I know what the lion's thinking.
He's thinking, what the fuck are you doing, lady?
There's a lion in here.
Can you not see it?
I actually feel bad for that lion, because look how confused he is.
He's got that look, like, when you're not sure if you just walked into the wrong bathroom? Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the, the line, the line, the line, the line, the line, the line, the lia, the lion, the lion, the lia, the lia, the lia, the lia, the lia, the lia, the lia, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, the line, the line, the line, the line, the line, the line, the line, th, th, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, th-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, the the lion, if you just walked into the wrong bathroom, you know, uh...
Actually, you know what I think the line was really thinking, the line's looking at her like,
what are you doing?
You're black.
You don't need extra danger in your life, lady.
What are you doing right now is technically cultural appropriation.
This crazy shit is for white people.
You shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be here. You're now.
All right, moving on to some international news. Vladimir Putin, Russian president and man who
thinks the notebook was a comedy. He has always denied meddling in America's 2016
election. But yesterday, he was asked if he's going to meddle in 2020,
and his answer was refreshingly honest.
Is Russia, as Robert Miller,
alleged, attempting to influence the 2020 elections in the United States?
Is the secret?
I'll tell you in a secret. Yes, we will definitely intervene.
It's a secret so that everybody can laugh and so we'll go big, but don't tell anyone, please.
Oh, you gotta love that classic Russian sense of humor, you know, threats.
Yeah, it's just like, we're sending you to Siberia.
Then after you live in 40 years in Siberia, we're like,
that was funny, right?
Yeah, it's funny.
Actually, Putin is probably the funniest guy in Russia
when you think about it.
Because, I mean, it's easier to joke around
when you're the only person in the country
not afraid of being killed by Vladimir Putin. If you go on Russian Netflix, he's thup, he's thup, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, th. tho, th. tho, tho, tho, 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thus. thu thu thu thu thu. thu. thu. th the top stand-up specials. Yeah. And his stand-up is great though. He's just like, women die from poisoning like this. But men die from poisoning like this.
White people drive car like this, but the black people do not live in Russia.
All right, and finally, let's move on to Tesla. It's the car for people who want to save the environment, but still want people to think their assholes.
And while every new Tesla is a technological wonder, there are still a few bugs in the system.
Tesla's smart summon promises to allow your car to drive to you or a location of your
choosing from 200 feet away, with no one behind the wheel as long as the car is in sight.
For Tesla, the ride of the future may have just hit a pothole.
This morning, videos of the car company's autonomous feature, failing and fueling online
criticism. Geez, what's the deal? With motorists shocked by near misses, costly clips, and potentially dangerous crashes.
With startled pedestrians chasing after empty vehicles.
It's okay.
Tesla's latest cutting-edge software is driving concern into high gear again.
Oh man, I love how that guy's chasing, that car is driving itself! Hold on!
But this is, this is really a problem. I I mean I thought Uber drivers were bad at picking me up
Now you got to call up your own car like hey it's me. It's me
I'm at the corner no just south of the people you just mowed down on the sidewalk. Yeah
No, go straight. No, that's a daycare center keep going like
Like here's the thing cars are not smart enough to give them this feature. And people are definitely not smart enough to have this feature, all right?
Because think about it.
People already drive drunk.
Now, what if you're drunk inside of a casino and then you accidentally summon your car?
That's just not going to end well.
Honestly, I think we should stop giving cars features you don't need.
It's cool that a car can drive itself, but you 't need like a car that drives itself in the parking lot. You know, it's useless speech, like when they put speakers in the trunk of a car.
Huh? Why do I need my grocery bags to hear Adele?
I don't.
Huh? I don't need my ice cream getting that emotional, all right?
Just leave it normal.
All right, that's it's it's the headlines.
Let's move on to our top story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story. If you've ever watched President Trump, and if you've watched him lately, it's clear
the impeachment battle has been getting to him.
For one, he's tweeted 276 times since Pelosi announced the impeachment inquiry last week.
And he's been in such a bad mood that even watching Fox News hasn't cheered him up.
He's just like, yes, I am the best leader, Judge Jeanine, but why does everyone hate me?
Well, today, Trump's rage moved from his Twitter feed to real life,
where during a press conference with the leader of Finland,
he did not react well to the barrage of impeachment questions.
His son walks out with millions of dollars, the kid knows nothing.
You know it, and so do we.
Go ahead, ask a question, sir, was what did you want President Solensky to do about Vice President Biden
and his son, Hunter?
Are you talking to me?
Yeah, it was just a follow up of what I just asked you, sir.
Listen, you ready?
to follow up on what I just asked you, sir.
Listen, you ready? to the president of thinnecet. to. to. to. to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? tooe. too? too? too? too? too? too? to? too? to-a. to-a. to-a. to-a. to-a. to-a. to-a. to-a. to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to? to-a. to-a. to-a. to-a. to-a. to-s?

Did you hear me? Did you hear me? Yes, sir. Ask him a question. I will.
But I've given you a long answer.
Ask this gentleman a question.
Don't be rude.
No, sir, I don't want to be rude.
I just wanted you to have a chance to answer the question.
Ask the president of Finland a question. I double dare, you mother-feeha. Ask him a question.
Ask him a question. You know what, you know it would have been amazing? Is if the Finnish
president got a question but then threw Trump out of the bus? It's like, actually, I would be interested to hear your answer on the Joe Biden's thininininininininininininininininin the thin the thin the the thin. the the the the thin' question. thin' question the the the the the the the the the the the thin the the the the the thin their question their question. I' question their question. I' question. I' question. I' their their their their their their the Finnish president got a question, but then threw Trump under the bus, it's like, actually, I would be interested to hear your answer on the Joe Biden's guy.
You screwed me again, Finnish guy.
Now, please, don't get me wrong.
I don't want you to think that Trump didn't want to answer questions at this press conference.
No. He only wanted to answer the questions that the he liked. Okay, what's your second question? Well, you shouldn't be asking two questions.
Well, you're gonna want to answer me.
Do me favor.
Ask, ask one of the finished.
John, I think you want to answer this question.
John, ask one of the finished president.
And then, can I come back to you?
Because I think you'll want to answer. Maybe for the first time in three years I'll have a good question and I'll love it. There is a report that came out just before you and President Ninochsto walked out here
that the whistleblower met with a staff member of Adam Schiff prior to the complaint being filed.
It shows that Schiff is a fraud and I love that question. Thank you, John.
Thank you, John. That has to be one of the quickest emotional U-turns I've ever seen. Because one minute he wanted nothing to do with that journalist question.
The next minute it was Trump's favorite question in the entire world.
Like Trump treated that journalist, the way people treat waiters, you know, who keep offering
the same hors d'oeuvres over and over again. People like, I told you, I don't want the damn't, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, oh, is, oh, oh, oh, is, oh, oh, oh, is, is thrown, is thrown, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is Trump's, is Trump's, is Trump's, is..

So, the past few weeks,
clearly haven't been Trump's favorites.
Impeachment is consuming his life.
His poll numbers are dipping again,
and on top of all of that,
the failing New York Times has reported this.
Well, breaking news tonight,
an exclusive report in the New York Times
documenting the lengths to which sources say President Trump was prepared to go to stop migrants crossing the southern border.
He wanted the wall electrified, with spikes on top that could pierce human flesh.
The New York Times reports that privately the president had often talked about fortifying
a border wall with a water-filled trench stocked with snakes or alligators.
That's right. The New York Times is reporting that President Trump wanted to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 migrants the migrants the migrants the their migrants their migrants their migrants their migrants their migrants their migrants their migrants their migrants their migrants 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 mi mi..eeea.a.a. Wea. Wea.ea.ea.eu.eu.eu.eu.eu.eu.eu.ean.eu.ean.eck.eu.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. the the the the the the the with snakes or alligators.
That's right. The New York Times is reporting that President Trump wanted to build a moat along
the border wall which was going to be filled with snakes and alligators.
Which I know sounds crazy, but to be fair, it's been very effective at keeping him out
of Melania's bedroom.
That's probably where he got the idea. I mean, it's either that or it's because he's top immigration advisors and actual reptile.
Great idea, Mr. President.
My cousin could use the work.
Now, according to the report,
according to the report, Trump wasn't just coming up with World of Warcraft upgrades to his wall.
No, he was also lashing out of his aids when he felt that they weren't making progress on
securing the border.
In late March, President Trump publicly threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border.
But according to the Times reporters, in a March meeting, the President's advisors tried
to turn him away from such a drastic move.
He responded, you're making me look like an idiot.
And shouted, I ran on this. It's my issue.
The president reportedly berating then Homeland Security Secretary Kirsten Nilsen,
saying, quote, Lou Dobbs hate you.
Ann Coulter hate you.
You're making me look bad.
Wow, that is so sad.
Imagine caring that much about what Lou Dobbs and Ann Coulter think of you.
I mean, that's one step away from being like you better not embarrass me in front of the Mousinex booger I swear to God.
Ask him a question. Now the part of the Times report that's really blowing up
is that Trump apparently suggested shooting migrants in the leg to slow them down
as they were trying to cross the border, which is not just a crazy idea, it's also illegal.
And apparently, Trump had a lot of illegal ideas.
In fact, my favorite example is when he told a room of Border Patrol agents to just turn away every asylum seeker who showed up at the border.
And then get this. As soon as Trump left the room, the head of Border Patrol told everyone else to ignore the president.
Yeah, that's wild.
It's like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
You realize the only organization where the top guy gets ignored like that is McDonald's.
Right?
Yeah, no, because Ronald is always like, remember how top priorities is making people smile,
whoooo. And then he leaves, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, and the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the the the the thii, thi, thi, too, too, thi, thi, thi-a, thi-a, thi-i-i-i-s, thi-s, thi-s, thiiii-s, thiii-s, thii-s, thi-s, thii-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thri-s.eean.ean.ean. Hea. Hea-s. Hea. Hea. Hea. Hea. He's, too-s, thi-s, then he leaves, and the manager's like, forget that shit, we're here to move beef, you hear me?
Now go kick the soft serve machine
and make sure it still doesn't work.
Now, some of you might be hearing these reports
and thinking, oh, I'm sure the president
didn't really mean all this stuff,
and maybe he was just joking about the aligators and the snakes, but it doesn't seem like that. Like, the moat fooled with snakes and alligators.
Apparently it was real enough that his aides actually went out
to seek a cost estimate.
Yeah, they actually got a quote for the moat.
Which also sounds like the name of the most xenophobic Dr. Seuss book ever. I mean, can you just imagine being the Trump aide who had to call around to figure
out how much it would cost to fill a border moat with snakes and alligators? Well, luckily
you don't have to imagine because here at the Daily Show, we have the exclusive audio
of that call. Thanks for calling Petco. How can I help you? Yeah, um, can I get a quote for how much it would cost for 2,000 miles of snakes?
Uh, we don't really sell snakes by the mile?
Okay, how about alligators?
I need a southern border amount of alligators.
Make sure the alligators hate Mexicans.
What do your alligators think about Mexicans?
We definitely don't sell alligators. We have birds, fish and gerbils,
stuff like that. All right, fine. Give us 2,000 miles of gerbils. Hate Mexicans.
Jerbils who hate Mexicans. Breaking news. We'll be right back. For a limited time, switch to Shopify point of sale and you could save up to 20% and improve

It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself,
TGID. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully
obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election.
Economics. Earnings calls. What are they
talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread
ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second.
I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?
I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the dating show.
My guest tonight is the best-selling author of more than two dozen award-winning books,
including the National Book Award. Her new novel is called Red at the Bone.
Please welcome, Jacqueline Woodson. Welcome to the Daily Show.
Thank you.
And can I just say as someone who grew up living in books, I, like nothing gives me more joy
than seeing writers treated like rock stars.
Thank you.
And can I just say as someone who grew up living in books, I, like, me more joy than seeing writers treated like rock stars. Genuinely I love it like people love what you do people really
love what you create. This book is just being met with so much praise and so
many accolades read at the bone. It's a story of two families who are brought
together because of a pregnancy but it's also the story of class and of race and when you're compiling a story like this and
you're telling this tale, is it hard for you to combine all of those elements
or do you just tell the truth and it comes through? I think it's a
combination. It's hard and I tell the truth and itthrough. And I think one thing that happens is the story begins to evolve. The more I put those characters on the page,
the more I figure out about them,
the more complex the story becomes.
And that became a very complicated story.
It also feels like when you tell the story,
you rely on the reader to do work for themselves.
So for instance, if you're reading this book this book this book this book this book this book,
it starts in a familiar place. You know, it's human beings.
I mean, that's what most stories are.
It's human beings, it's love, it's family,
and then there's the conflict,
you know, there's this pregnancy.
But what's interesting is not a lot of people
would think of a world where there's a black family
that doesn't like another black family,
and they're separated by class. And I think the one thing that I was trying to talk about in Red the Bone is black wealth
versus black income and mainly how this country has again and again annihilated black wealth.
And so when someone is able, oh shucks.
Yes.
Oh, no, no worry.
We can't hear you. That's fine. When someone's able to hold on to their wealth, what does that look like. And so it made sense to have these two families 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 to have to have their to have to have to have to have to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. toe. toe. their. their. their. their their toeck. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. toeck. toeck. toeck. toeck. toeck. toeck. to their wealth, what does that look like? And when someone is not, what does
that look like? And so it made sense to have these two families come together to create
that conflict. Right, you talk about black wealth or you tell the story in and around it. But
what are you hoping the reader will take away from that? What are you hoping a young kid who might read the book? Woomb- that thii the the their their th th th th th th to thi, their thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, their, their, tho, tho, their, their, their tho, their tho, their their tho, their their their their their their their their their tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, the, the, the, tom. tomo, toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the, the, the from the story? I'm hoping first and far most that they have a good story.
I think one thing that happens when you read a book
that makes you think it changes you as well.
It creates empathy.
It creates understanding of people who you might not otherwise meet in the world.
And so that's what I hope the takeaway is.
I hope there's a great scholar named Dr. Rudin Sims Bishop, and she talks about the importance of kids having both mirrors and windows in their books.
And so this is an adult book, but it creates the same thing.
It creates windows for the people who come to that book and see themselves in it.
And also windows for people who would never meet characters like the ones that exist in that book.
It is interesting because you know you're known for children's literature. And I know it sounds weird to say, but it feels like you wrote this book for the child
in us.
It's not a difficult read, but it is a difficult subject for many people to talk about.
Some people say, oh no, why do you write about these things?
And I mean, it's similar topics that you write about in your children's books as well.
Why do you feel it's important to have those thoe? Why do you write about difficult subjects? Because they exist and I think one
thing that happens when you have a book that can tell a story this way, people
have some place to go to to begin a conversation and I think that's what
books are so great at doing is getting us to talk and kind of taking away some of the fear about the conversation. I think th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thin thi thin thi thin thin thin thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theateateate. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Because their their their their their their their their thi. their thi. thi. th. th. th. Because, th. Because, th. I th. I th. I th. I's th. I's th. I's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thea theeeeeeananananananananananan't theeeeeeeeateeeeateeeateateeeatea theeeatea theea taking away some of the fear about the conversation. I think people, it's hard for people to
talk about race, it's hard for them to talk about economic class, sexuality,
gender, all of these different points of views and when you have a book you can
say well let's start by talking about red at the bone and what happened in there and maybe this happened to me or maybe this this 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 thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the. It's the. It's the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th is th is th is th is th is the. It the. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's the, the, the. It's hard to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to theauuuu. Right, it really is, I mean that's that's how I've seen the
world. That's how many people see the words. Like you read a book, you feel like
you know the characters, you feel like you know the world of the characters, and
interestingly enough you become more comfortable with it. Yes. I used to think that magic was a horrible thing and then Harry Potter changed a 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. to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, to thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's 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. thi. th. that, 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 magic was a horrible thing and then Harry Potter changed my views on all of that. Now I understand it. I genuinely am more open to it. It
feels like that is what you're doing with race, with sexuality, with with
genders, with identities. It's a powerful story to tell. If somebody reads this book
and they just love the story, what is the one thing you hope subconsciously will happen to them when they th think think thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the their their their their their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho-a, tho-a, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th... th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, the story. What is the one thing you hope subconsciously will happen to them when they think about the journey
black people have had in America with regards to their wealth?
Ooh, that's such a great question.
I try.
I would love for there to be more empathy in this country.
You know, I would love for people to really see each other. And what I hope people take away again is first their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, tho, thoomorrow, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, thoooomorrow, their, their, their, their, I hope people take away, again,
is first and far most a good story
that really makes them feel something
and think something and change some kind of way.
And so I hope they fall in love
with the characters in there
and it makes them want to create some kind of change.
Whether that's change around people's economic status,
whether that's change about how they look at people
from different economic statuses,
whether it's change about how, you know,
if it's white folks spring coming to this book,
how they think about black folks,
that whether it's black folks coming,
that they know the history

Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGIT, thank God it's Thursday. We're
going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that
they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on
these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed
that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far
as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever
you get your podcast.
