If we didnt eat cheesy poofs wed be. Lame. From comedy centrals world news headquarters in new york, this is the daily show with trevor noah. applause . Trevor welcome to the daily show, thank you so much for tuning in, im trevor noah. My guest tonight, my guest tonight, gold star father khizr khan, everybody, joining us on the show, to talk about his new bookment but first, you know how americans are saying man, i wish we could have our old president back . Well, good news. They all heard you. Overnight a rare and historic tably, the five living president s making a joint appearance at a concert for hurricane relief. President os bamma clinton, bush 43, bush 41 and carter hosting the starstudded relief concert. A fun night for the serious mission, the former president s spotted grooving to the beat. And amid all of this good will, this also happened. George w. Bush, barack obama sharing a laugh behind bill clintons back. Trevor oh yeah the former president s are back, baby. And you know what i like, you know what i like, they look almost like a 90s boy band coming together one last time, like up there, everyone is in the group. You know obama is the one that rass, he has got this thing, he comes out, listen, girl, let me be clear, the constitution is what i hold dear, yeah. Just by the way, by the way, what do you think bush said to obama that made him laugh so hard. Have i been think being this, if he said one thing, what did he just lean n he was like guess what, i did 9 11. And then obama is like well, i was born in kenya. Like that could have been the back and forth the whole time. Lets move on to the big news of the day. The continuing story of the trump white houses struggle to not look [bleep] after four american soldiers were killed in niger a few weeks ago. Last week trump gave us his version of what he said on the condolence call to sergeant johnsons widow and this morning he gave her side. I heard him stublinging on trying to remember my husbands name. And that what hurt me the most because if my husband is out here fighting for our country and he risk his life for our country, why couldnt you remember his name. President trump took issue with that comment from Myeshia Johnson tweeting quote i had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sergeant La David Johnson and spoke his name from the beginning without hesitation. Trevor donald, what are you doing . Really . You are beefing with the military widow now . This is just two days after she buried her husband and trump is out there ep tweeting trash . Really . What phone does he have that it never dies. Am i the only person who like come on, you never lose your charger, nothing . The sad thing is we are not even surprised. As soon as i saw her do ta interview i was like oh, countdown to the tweet, here is it comes, and yeah, there it is. Wow, one hour, such restraint, very president ial. Look, we know that trump is going to tweet. What is suprising in this story is general john kelly, the white house chief of staff. Because from the moment that he stepped into the white house, everyone has regarded him as the antitrump. I think general kelly commands a lot of respect. Hes incredibly credible. He is a very trust worthy buy. An adult in the room. Disciplined and character and im going to say honor. Can i not imagine that john kelly would lie on behalf of anyone. I think kelly will be a tremendous force for good. Trevor wow, a tremendous force for good. And can i just say, you know it is a bad sign for your white house when its news that someone inside is a force for good that say bad sign. Like its not the death star, everyone in there, is supposed to be a force for good. I wonder if there was one who was a death star who was a force of good, one guy they went to for a differing opinion. Garth darth vader was like, but what do you think, do you think i should blow it up . I dont know, like i just think why would you blow up pan ets, you know t is such a big deal. Yeah, whatever, lets just do it lets just do it i just like to hear from the other side. I dont want to be in the bubble, you know, like whatever, all right, lets do it but anyway that is who john kelly was supposed to be. The good guy in the room, which is why it was a big deal last week when quellee put his credibility on the line to defend trump against democratic congresswoman frederica wilson. Now wilson is a person who first accused donald trump of disrespecting the family of the fallen soldier. She is also the person who owns the Worlds Largest collection of bedazzled cowboy hats. Shes in first place. Second place in nobody. Anyway kelly didnt just step into a fight with congresswoman frederica. He started throwing punches. I was stunned when i came to work yesterday morning, and broken hearted at what i saw a member of congress doing. A member of congress who listened in on a phone call from the president of the United States to a young wife, absolutely stuns me. And i thought at least that was sacred. Trevor okay. Now first of all, when he says she was lit ening in on the call, it makes it sound like she tapped the military widows phone and she was sitting across the street in a creepy white van. But no she heard the call because shes been Close Friends with the family for years. She knew the soldier personally and the family asked her to be on the call with them on the way to meet the casket, also, if you are aware that john kelly is saying, this when he told him himself that he was on the other end of the call listening in with trump. And i know he was babysitting, but thats not the point. Now what added more fuel to the fire was general kelly didnt just go after the substance of what the congresswoman said about the call, he went after her character. I will end with this. In october, april, rather of 2015, i was still on active duty and i went to the dedication of the new Fbi Field Office in miami. And the congresswoman stood up in the long tradition of empty barrels making the most noise, stood up there in all of that, and talked about how she was instrumental in getting the funding for that building. And how she took care of her constituents because she got the money and she just called up president obama and on that phone call he gave the money, the 120 million to build the buildingment and she sat down. And we were stunned. Stunned that she had done it. Even for someone that is that empty a barrel. We were stunned. Trevor wow. Where i come from, you dont call someone an empty barrel, because no one knows what that means. laughter but even if you didnt know what kelly meant, kelly successfully maligned the congresswoman. People believed his story because john kelly would never Say Something that wasnt true, or so we thought. Kelly got crucial facts wrong in his very public and biting critique. While the congresswoman towts her effort in getting the building named for the fallen fbi agent, there is no discussion of securing funding for the project. And she takes pain to thank the Law Enforcement officials in attendance and praised slain fbi agent being honored. Stand up and down so that we can applaud you and what you do. Stand up. We are proud of you. Trevor what a monster. Saluting Law Enforcement . What a monster. But that is what she did. And well, well, well, john kelly, who is the barrel now . No, im really asking because i still dont know what it means. I dont i dont know. So john kelly was wrong again. He was wrong about the phone call. And he was wrong about the speech. And thank god that there was a video this time because if there hadnt been, everyone would have believed him. Because hes mr. Honest. And shes a cowboy hat model. But the truth is, wilson is more than that. People dont realize but she is not only a fourterm congresswoman, she is a former educator with a masters degree, she was a member of the Florida State legislature. And she also founded the 5,000 people role models program. The same program that helped a young man named la David Johnson graduate from miami Public Schools to become a celebrated green beret. So she is not an empty barrel. She is someone who deserves an apology.

We are still getting daily updates on the face that launched a thousand hr complaints. Harvey weinstein, the fornler head of mir amax films is now being accused by over 50 women. As horrible as this whole story is, the one Silver Lining is that everyone is finally talking about how serious the problem of Sexual Harassment. Is and can i say i have been particularly impressed with how fox news has been handling it. Bombshell allegations tonight against mega producer harvey wine tien. The Harvey Weinstein scandal is et going more viel by the hour. More disgusting details from sexual predator Harvey Weinstein. The sickening accusations. Taking terrible, terrible advantage, it is disgusting. The curtain goes up on those trumphating, soros loving, 3 socialist, condescending hollywood glitterati for their silence, acceptance and coverup of one of their own. Serial supersexual predator Harvey Weinstein. Okay,. Trevor that last part was weird because she built it up like harvey was going to come out in boxing gloves like the mad man with the left, the ass hole in the bath robe, Harvey Weinstein. That was weird. But seriously, ive got to give props to fox. They are taking such a strong stand against Sexual Harassment. Its also confused me a little. And this weekend i was reminded why. Major headline involving former fox Host Bill Oreilly tonight. The New York Times reporting oreilly settled a Sexual Harassment claim for 32 million. Bill riley agreed to place frequent contributor liswiehl 32 million to settle allegations that included repeated harassment, a noncon sense all sexual relationship and the sending of gay pornography. The article says just one month later fox news Parent Company 21s century fox resigned the host to a new fouryear 100 Million Contract. Trevor wow. Bill oriley got 100 Million Contract over hes with busted that is almost like fox news said i will bet you 100 million you will do it againment i bet you now, yeah, oh man, you won. I am blown away by the fact that bill oriley had to pay one woman 32 million, one woman. And by the way this is from his own money. Now i understand why he cranks out so many book, killing kennedy, killing jesus, killing paton, he needed the extra cash. I should have known something was wrong when he published killing big bird, oh yeah, this guy, hes reaching. So we know that fox news in the only knew what oriley was up to for a long time. They even hid some of it. Which means while fox news may be woke in the street they are definitely neablers in the street, what makes it so balancesy is this is how they have been going in on other news organizations. Executives at nbc news knew exactly what Harvey Weinstein was doing nearly a year ago and yet instead of reporting it, they did their best to keep that information hidden from public view. Nbc news, the New York Times, they are now accused of apparently spiking stories against weinstein for years. So how many women could have been protected had they done their job . Trevor damn there is no faster way to get fox to care about something than to find out a powerful liberal person has done tment maybe we should tell them Harvey Weinstein colluded with russia, maybe then, yeah . And i will say, this at least with weinstein, hollywood has totally shut him out. Hes kicked out of his company. Hes banned from the academy. Even when he signs into netflix his top recommendation is go to hell. laughter but less than six mondays after fox fired oriley, they invited him back for a friendly prime time visit. Joining us is a man who needs no introduction, bill oriley. How are you . Good to see you. Im here, im alive 6789 and. How are you and do you miss the daily grind. No i was in the ocean all summer and i had a great time. Trevor yeah whooo bill oriley had a great time in the ocean. Although knowing him, there is probably a mermaid somewhere that has to sign a nondisclsure agreement. Yeah, that mermaid also had her voice taken away. So listen, does liberal hollywood have a problem with sexual predators. Yes. Does conservative fox news have the same problem . Yes. That is my issue with this, it is not supposed to be partisan. Because everyone has an issue. Wall street, silicon valley, construction sites, basically every place that has men. And fox is right to call it out not because they can score political poipts but because it is the right thing to do. So fox news, please, keep going after Sexual Harassment, i applaud you. And the great news is, you dont even have to leave the building. Well be right back. applause tmobiles unlimited now includes netflix on us. Thats right. Netflix on us.

My guest tonight is a pakistani american gld star father whose middle son u. S. Army captain humayun khan was killed while serving in iraq in 2004. He tells their story in a new book an American Family, a fem other of hope and sacrifice. Please welcome khizr khan. applause welcome to the show. Thank you, trevor. Trevor before we get into the book, lets take a step back to when for many people your journey began in the American Public eye, and that was during the dem kratdic convention, we spoke out against Donald Trumps banning all muslims. You spoke out because you were someone who is a muslim person, but someone who has family members who live in the country and most importantly your son who died fighting for this country. How did your life change from that moment, and what did you decide to do with your life after that became the news story that it did . I have spoken to 162 events since then and journey continues, journey of hope. It has been amazing, amazing to see how much hope there is in this nation. How much we disagree with this division, with this hate that had been sowed by donald trump and his poetry of advisors. Most of this country is so hopeful that this anomaly will be over soon and we will continue to move forward. Of course political disagreements. But this division, this hatred is only momentary. We have continued and i continue to, and the main reason we went to that convention is our small children. Scores of them wherever i would go after that bigoted statement that was made, that muslims will be banned, hispanics will be criminals, judges are unfair, right . Small children will reach out wherever birthday parties, of our grand children, we will go and ask me this question. We are born here. Will we be thrown out . Can i finish my Elementary School . And we tell all these stories in this book. Book has become a vehicle and a vehicle to pay tribute to americas goodness. Needbased scholarship from the proceeds of this book at university of virginia under the name of captain humayun khan, memorial fund. So the goodness of all of that secretary ri fies continues to give us light and grace and we continue to move forward with this message of hope and building. applause you write in the book, i am an american patrot, not because i was born here but because i was not. An interesting statement to write. Its contradictory to what many people would think or feel. What does americas mean to you and what does that gold star signify. Many people say gold star families but ba does it actually mean to be a gold star family. Nobody wishes to wear this gold star. And you dont wish anybody to wear this gold star. This is given to commemorate the sacrifice of your loved one. I wear it with pride because i am not wearing it just because of captain humayun khan but im hear wearing it to honor the sacrifice of all my sons and daughters that have sacrificed their life for this nation, for this country. Trevor you are someone spreading a story as you say of hope, of sacrifice. How do you preserve the mem ore of your son in such a way that it isnt just used as a political kujel . First captain humayun khan was made in here. We only brought him three years old to this country. All of the goodness that he learned, all of the caring for others, sacrifice, standing up for those who needed his support and all, that was made here. Captain humayun khan rohatyn essay for his admission to the dormitory and the title of that essay was, and that applies so very much today and to the current situation, the title was, democracy requires vij lens and sacrifice. Just think of this moment where our democracy, our Democratic Values are under attack from outside and from within, by these authoritarian mentality that is in the white house at this moment. We have at our disposal the best democracy of the world. We must protect it. Those who do not wish us well are there to malign us so that they can say to the world look at american democracy. Its not working, not at all. We will not let that happen. That is the message of this humble effort, but that is the effort to the entire country, that i carry with me, message of hope, message of building bridges, message of making sure that these dignities, these rights that are enshrined in our constitution are called inalienable rights. Those maybe inalienable but those are not selfexecutory. You and i need to stand up for those rights so that nobody can take those away, nobody can malign them, nobody can redefine them for us. Trevor wow. Thank you so much for joining us on the show. Thank you for sharing your story. An American Family is available now. Khizr khan, everybody. Well be right back
