A. , dodgers, dodgers, dodgers audience booing im really excited. All week, the the daily show is going to be here in chicago the entire week. cheers and applause and you may notice that the set looks a little different, right . We dont have the desk. We wanted to bring it, but it wouldnt fit into the overhead and i refuse to pay 35 to check it in. We might not have the desk but we still have a show. We still have a guest, rapper actor amazing person common is joining us on the show tonight. cheers and applause thats right. He is a native of the windy city, baby, which can i just say is not the best nickname . I just have to acknowledge that the windy city is less of a nickname and more of a fact, okay. laughter nicknames are supposed to be edgy, give you something different, like atlanta, hotlanta. Detroit, motor city, varoom, i can feel it new orleans, the big easy. Chicago, the kite, bring it. It gets kind of breezy there is another nickname for some people and they choose to use it for chicago and its way worse than the windy city, its the murder capital. Did you know how many people said that to me when i said were going to chicago . Oh, wow, good thing youre wearing a suit, trevor, you will save the undertaker some time. Nicely tone. Which is bleep . I come from south africa and i know what its like to come from a place where everybody labels you for the crime. Its true, chicago has a lot of violence. This is a real cartoon i watched in south africa, called sharky and george, and its about fish who are police who fight crime in a city called seacago. Roll the tape. Meet sharky and george defenders of the seven seas seacago, the city of wealth gunfire trevor i always think apartheid was the worst thing that happened to us and then i remember that hoe the daily show. laughter thats how famous chicago is for violence. As a kid in south africa, i was thinking, if i go to chicago, im going to get shot by fish in a cowboy hat laughter yeah, and that was even before i knew fish could legally own guns in america. laughter to be honest, thats pretty much why were here. This week were in chicago because we figure chicago is a microkossum for the issues the rest of the country faces. So we figured why not come out the to this great city and explore it for ourselves . If i just believed what i saw on tv, id never want to come to chicago. Its not just the cartoons. According to the president , chicago is basically syria but with different pizza. Look at chicago, what the hell is going on in chicago . Whats that all about . Chicago is worse than some of the countries you read about in the middle east. Afghanistan is not like whats happening in chicago. Its terrible whats going on in chicago. I have property there. I dont want to have thousands of people shot in a city where essentially im the president. booing i like how he says hes essentially the president. No, donald, you are the president. cheers and applause you are the president. Like, in that moment, in that moment, he exposes how, in his mind, hes not president of the places that didnt vote for him. Like some reluctant step father whos basically, like, i guess im essentially your dad now because your mom bleep me but, i mean, this is not how i wanted it. laughter applause it really sucks people call chicago the most dangerous city in america especially when its not really true. cheers and applause does chicago have the most murders . Yes, but its also the third biggest city. If you want the talk about cities that are the most dangerous, right, you have to look at murders per capita, the amount of Violent Crime relative to the size of the city. Think of it this way, would you rather be in a big city with 5 penny wise the clowns or in an uber pool with just one . Right . Thats per capita. Thats all it is. laughter applause thats what it is. And now, please, dont get me wrong. Im not saying people shouldnt be concerned about murders in chicago, im just saying its weird people in politics, especially on the right, they always point fingers at chicago. Its weird because there are other cities with higher murder rates. You know, stat st. Louis, balti, cleveland. People arent, like, dont go to cleveland well, they do but not because of murder. laughter applause if other cities in america have more violence per capita, then why would the right be so obsessed with chicago in you gist tell me if you can figure it out. President obama failed so miserably to curb violence in his own home torn. Look for example whats happened in chicago, the president s hometown. Chicago,ist like the wild west out there. Chicagos more dangerous than afghanistan. Mr. President , you own chicago, and that failure son you. I dont hear a damn word out of obamas mouth about the debts in his hometown in chicago trevor oh, now i get it. When there is shootings, obamas from chicago. All the other times, hes from kenya. Now it makes sense. cheers and applause now it makes sense, yeah . applause and thats basically what most of this is about. These people dont care about chicagos murder rates, they care about how they can use chicago to score political points. applause look, ultimately ultimately, it doesnt matter whether chicago is ranked number one in murders or number nine in murders. Whats is stopping the murders cheers and applause right. Luckily, unlike us haters and losers, President Trump has ideas. But we were in chicago and we have massive motorcycle brigades. You could see a really respected police officer, he was at the head, he was the boss. I said, how long would it take you to straighten out this problem . He said, if you gave me the authority, a couple of days. Trevor wow. Trumps Imaginary Friend can fix chicago in a couple of days. Yeah, and you know trump was, like, not only will i give you the authority, ill also give you my top two guys, sharky and george from seacago cheers and applause you can have them all the best applause look, you cant solve chicagos problems in the same time it takes to fall in love on the bachelor, but if you put in the time, you can make a difference and, after the break, roy wood, jr. Visits the south side of chicago to meet people who are trying to do just that. Well be right back. cheers and applause thank you, guys. Its a good, good, good time to be alive. Oh yeah.

Find your awesome with xfinity xfi and change the way you wifi. cheers and applause trevor welcome back to the daily show coming to you from shuck all week cheers and applause were going to be here. Now, while some people have written off chicago and its crime, others have taken to the streets to try and make a difference themselves. Roy wood, jr. Went to the south side to learn more. cheers and applause chicago has a crime problem. Chicago is like a war zone. And our orange man in chief has the solution. President trump threatened to send in the feds. But theres another option for stopping violence in chicago. Community engagement. Thats the strategy of the Grassroots Program cease fire. cheers and applause the violence in chicago, its not just the Chicago Police departments problem, its a community problem. Everybody have to be involved. Floyd has been working with cease fire for 13 years. I spent the day with them to see what Community Engagement looks like. The red dots represent hot spots in the community. This is where youre going tonight. On the south side, one shooting always leads to another. So cease fire tries to stop this retaliatory violence through mediation. We can mediate anything, man. Who sold some bad stuff to somebody, whatever, who robbed somebody. It could be a relationship beef, a bad drug deal. Lets see your girl gave your netflix password away. You pull up your netflix and it asks if you want to finish watching nashos but you werent watching that so she was watching it with another dude. Im an exgang member, exgang leader, exdrug dealer. Thats the key to this work. Interrupters come from the same neighborhood as the guy theyre trying to reach. Kind of how mr. Rogers stopped the puppet shootings in the 70s. Even with that experience, this isnt an easy job. I have been shot at a couple of times mediating gang conflicts. You have been shot at . Yes, while doing this job. Dispatch, 212 victor. Thats a radio . You talking to real people, roy . I dont know. I hope its on armed with only flyers, they patrol the most dangerous neighborhoods like south shore where there were over 1100 crimes reported. Guys warned us out here even talking can be dangerous. It could be i dont know you or i dont know you, it could be how i say whats up. How should i say hello in chicago . Exactly. It could be, oh, your bags too little. You buy an ounce, weigh it, it aint a ounce, some of your weed got arugula in it. Uhhuh. I needed to see cease fire in action so i created a scenario of a drug deal gone bad. Pardon me, sir. I purchased weed from you earlier and it is not of the finest quality. Perhaps a refund is in order. No. Pleat breathty please, sir. Im going to take you out and buy you something to seat first. Because i got the munchies . First of all, you arguing over drugs, its escalating to something different. Theres a Bigger Picture than weed around here. Theres people who run and get guns because everybody else got one, but maybe there was more opportunities and more jobs because everybody is out here trying to survive. And thats what people outside chicago arent getting. Theres a Bigger Picture to life on the south side that violence is just one part of and shootings have gone down by an average of 43 where cease fire is active in one south side neighborhood, homicides went down from 49 per year to 34. applause i lived on this blocks grew up on this block and saw everything on this blofnlgt yall cool. I see yall care a little bit. I dont know how were going to cease the fire. Were going to try. But we cool, i appreciate yall coming through. What cease fire does is not glamorous or action packed but this is what actual Crime Fighting looks like. How can we make people get that . Same way we make americans get everything, make it a basic cable show. No tasers, no vests, no guns and definitely no explosions, but they do have flyers and their mouths. Hey, bro your life could be better i need my flyers screaming how you doing . Just want you to stop the violence. The windy city just got windier. cheers and applause mouthside chicago. cheers and applause trevor roy wood, jr. , everybody. Well be right back youre acting so funny, whats wrong, billy . My doctor says i have skittles pox. Are they contagious . I dont think so. Contract the rainbow taste the rainbow i would like three two is standard. Im not standard. Three weeks. Ok. Which one of you the cheetos snacks . Okay, ive given you guys a chance to confess. This little baby can detect trace amounts of cheetos dust. Whaaaaat . Gloria . Kids . [meow] when did we get a cat . Dangerously cheesy. I rode shotgun in lead humvee and istop short. Bombs. I dont see nothin man. You dont see it, he feels it. You are my hammer out there. Dont let these young guys see you fold. Im only human, i make mistakes im only human, thats all it takes to put the blame on me im alive because of you. Im not a hero. Were brothers, we look after each other. Thank you for your service. Rated r. Trevor welcome back to the daily show coming to you from chicago my guest tonight is an awardwinning musician, actor and producer. His new song with andra day stand up for something is featured in the new movie marshall and i stand up for you and i stand up for you, yes i will, yes i will reach out and touch with the saviors hand on rock, we stand like this native land let the ways of love be the ways of man and it all Means Nothing if you dont stand for something trevor ladies and gentlemen, please welcome common cheers and applause please, chicago cheers and applause thank you. Trevor welcome to the show. It feels good to be home. Thank you. Trevor this is amazing, man. Yeah. Trevor is this where you come home to all the time . No, i cant say i get this. But i get a lot of love when i come home and i have a lot of love for my hometown. cheers and applause trevor right, right. Before we talk about chicago, lets talk about a piece of the music video we saw there. The song stand up for something by yourself and andra day is really about fighting against injustice, something close to your heart, weve seen you tweeting about that. When you talk about fighting injustice, what do you mean in particular . My fight against injustice really started for me by seeing people who didnt have. I grew up on the south side of chicago and i was fortunate to have an incredible mother who was a teacher and i had love, i had opportunities, but some of my friends didnt. Its basically the Good Samaritan mentality of saying, hey, if i see something going wrong, i need to step in because when we talk about equality and we talk about america being free and equal justice, its us stepping in. So stand up for something is merely you just standing up for something you believe . In. It could be womens rights, equality, education, standing up against depression. Its just about empowering and putting a spark in each human being that says what do i stand for in this world. Trevor you work on the ground. Your foundation and your people work in chicago. Whats something that excites you about chicago . Starting with what we have been doing with Common Ground foundation is mentoring youth, giving our youth an stunt to experience things they never had the opportunity to experience. So many of us, we focusing on the administration but the people got the power to really be the change. applause anytime somebody starts anytime people start coming talking to me about trump, i take it in for a second and they will be, man, what can we do . Lets figure out what we can do to better our communities in the state and local level just as human beings, and thats how we combat the ignorance and hatred put out in this world in this country, we combat it but putting it out to the people in this world who deserve it and dont get it and we just up everything. Trevor you heard it from the man himself. Thanks for being here in our first night in chicago. Stand up for something is available on itunes and marshall is in theaters now. Common, everybody well be right back cheers and applause
