Happy new year its 2018, which means the new millennium is finally legal mmhmm, yeah and i hope you all celebrated the new year, but didnt freeze because it was so cold. Like, while some new years balls were dropping, more were shriveling up just to stay warm. Welcome to 2018, revelers around the world ring in the new year overnight. Here in new york city a Million People huddling in times square to watch the ball drop in 9degree temperatures. The coldest celebration in a century. The deep freeze even canceled in new years eve celebrations from boston to st. Louis and as far south as fort worth, texas. The polar plunge in cleveland had to be canceled when they couldnt break through the ice. laughter trevor oh this man was almost a legend. laughter i admire his spirit but also feel bad for him because he made it all the way to the water before anyone told him it was frozen . laughter no, think about how many people he ran by in his underwear who said nothing. All the same jerks who see a football flag toward somebodys head and instead of warning them start sri doing. laughter you would think the professional camera guy could stop him. Hes, like, wow, this is going to be great. Hes, like, just dive right in, buddy, dive right in. laughter but part of me kind of wishes they let him do it because we were so close to getting a sequel to this. scweeming laughter trevor legend. But lets move on. Its officially the start of a new year. Unless youre jewish or chinese. laughter with every new year comes nears resolutions, new sexy calendars and most importantly new laws. The new year brings new laws around the country. Workers trying to scrape by are getting a raise today. The minimumwage is rising in 18 states from maine to california. In illinois, who gets the dog in a divorce . Like children, judges will now term sole or joint custody for pets. In california, this used to be jaywalking. Now you can cross the street once the countdown clock starts. Just make sure you finish before it hits zero. Trevor all right. Am i the only one who noticed she just broke the law . Because its zero and shes still walking. Yeah, its zero. I think weve got to lock her up. Lock he her up brbt chanting lock her up . Trevor yeah, that chant is fun, youve got to admit. laughter by the way, now judges have to decide who gets custody of the pets. I dont know about you but i think judges have too many jobs. One minute a judge is, like, i sentence you to death and you can see mr. Whiskers on wednesdays. So minimumwage going up. Pets going to the parent they deserve and no more jaywalking and, in california, every day is now 420. Recreational marijuana use legal in california today. Lines popped up at kiss penceries with customers ranging from longtomb users to firsttime buyers. This is absolutely going to be a recreational habit for me. I can smoke, have do reados and i will be good. laughter trevor you know, i believed that that guy was a firsttime user until he said, i can just smoke a quarter of a blunt. No rookie knows the right dosage. This guy that is probably smoked seth rogen levels of weed. Calm down, man. laughter its great impressioniationum marijuana use is legal in california because its been so good for californians health. In the last 48 hours, californias grau coma rate has dropped by 98 . Stoners are, like, its a miracle, i can sleep again i dont remember what i told you, man, but im going to get high right now laughter i feel bad for all the o. G. Black and latino weed entrepreneurs. They set up the weed business, created the market and are looking at white geats guys getting rich while they do time for being ahead of their time. I think everybody who is serving time for nonviolent weed offenses should automatically get a license to sell weed. Thats what i believe. applause you dont even need to give them a certificate. Just frame their rap sheet. It works. laughter i will also say this, i think making weed a Legal Business is great for the people but also means that we will never get great rap songs again because its not going to be the same rolling down the street, filling out j85 to be a vendor of the cannabis products, sipping on gin and jute not the same. laughter the biggest of the 2018 new laws is the republican tax plan and thats changing all sorts of rules. Most to have the new tax code does go into effect the first of the year. The new law limits deductions for state and local income taxes and property taxes. Nationwide people who make less of 25,000 will see a tax cut of 6, those making 50,000 just under 600. Those making more will see tax savings well into thousands of dollars. Wealthy families and corporations could see the biggest gains. State Tax Exemptions would allow couples to pass on twice as much, 22 million with no inheritance tax. Trevor thats right. You know, you dont think of it like this, but its always tricky to change the estate tax law especially when it happens overnight because a rich person dying before or after midnight on new years eve could change how much their kids inherit by millions of dollars. Which must have been awkward for some families. Its, like, granddad, please, dont die for ten more minutes please please dont die for ten more minutes please at 12 02, grandpa is, like, actually, i think im going to make it. And hes, like, shh, dont fight, granddad, the new tax law is now in effect. And overnight tax changes dont just affect what day you will murder your grandfather. The new tax law has Many Americans still trying to figure it out. The ongoing confusion created by the new tax law. Tonight accountants say their offices are flooded with questions. Homeowners spending this last week of 2017 standing in line at county offices trying to prepay 2018s tax bill before the end of the year. Trevor that sucks. People had to skip their new years parties for tax preparation, though it would be cool if some tried to do both because i love the idea of someone waking up january 1 with vomit on the ground and tax forms scattered everywhere. Theyre, like, oh, man how many deductions did i take last night . Oh laughter and while the middle class was scrambling to save money before the new law hit, trump and upper classmates were celebrating the truth. Were told the president is still celebrating passage of the republican tax cut bill. Sources with firsthand knowledge tell cbs news he told a group of wealthy people at his exclusive mara lago estate you all just got a lot richer. Trevor yeah, that one line sums up the whole administration for me. The dude spend months selling americans on a tax cut he claimed was for the middle class. Dont forget, this guy its going to cost me a fortune, this thing. Believe me. This is not good for me. Me i have some very wealthy friends not so happy with me, but thats okay. Trevor and then he signs the bill, goes straight to his Palm Beach Hotel and delivers the real good news to the americans hes really serving. Yeah, you know what is this i feel like we just need trump to Start Holding all these press conferences at maralago, seems it seems like thats the only place he really tells the truth. Well be right back. cheers and applause crunch whack gasp elephant trumpeting hello. multiple whacks really, dan . Hi, guys. Hey, dan. Hi. Whats up, dan .

S. It looks to be a momentous year in many countries around the world. For instance, russia is having its president ial election in march. Spoiler alert, putin wins laughter but barely, by, like, 98 . laughter in iran they may not have been planning to hold elections but doesnt seem like the citizens are willing to wait. Were following breaking news from iran where 1 people have been killed in antigovernment protests there. Security forces fought armed demonstrators who tried to take over police stations and military protests of the governments handling of the economy started thursday and spread across the country. Several others would bed and hundreds arrested. Trevor im not an expert on iran, but i think if your streets are in such bad shape that you can pick them up and throw them, thats got to be part of the problem. laughter these are the largest antigovernment protests in iran since 2009, and in case youre wondering what drove the people into the streets, it wasnt that george was paying them, it was after the u. S. Lifted sanctionons iran in 2015, the iranian government promised an economic boon for everyone. But while the rich are getting richer in iran, ordinary iranians arent noticed the benefits. I know the third world stuff is hard for some americans to relate to, but imagine the u. S. Governments promised tax cuts for the middle class but only the rich benefited laughter i know, i know, that bleep would never happen. I know. applause but you know what i mean. Now, obviously, obviously, all the worlds thoughts are with the people of iran right now. But i cant say all of our attention is. North Koreas Kim Jong un issued a warning to the u. S. During his annual new years address, he says the north is a complete Nuclear Arsenal and the button is always on his desk, his words, but kim says he will not use the weapons unless threatened. Struck a conciliatory tone with south korea suggesting south korea let them complete in the Olympic Games next month. Trevor kim jong un, the only guy i know threatens Nuclear Destruction and r. S. V. P. To an event in the next sentence. Ive got a bomb and i coming to the olympics. No one move i have a bomb strapped to my chest cynthia, r. S. V. P. To the Party Next Week im im making brownies. It will be this thing, get it . laughter cheers and applause its been years since north korea and south korea have had diplomatic talks and kim jong un wants to join south korea in the olympics. So this could be a positive move, although i dont know if i trust lil kim, to be honest, because hes probably going to be, like, north korea and south korea will compete toght in the biathlon. You do the skiing, well do the shooting laughter so the big question was how would donald trump react to this development . Would he support the talks . Would he stand tough against kim jong un . What role will the United States play . Says he has a Nuclear Button on his desk. Well see. The president reacted cautiously at his navies bash at maralago telling guests adversaries should take notice. We have some pretty good enemies out there but step by step theyre being defeated. Theyre some bad people. Bad people, but thats okay. Some day maybe theyll love us. I dont know. laughter trevor have you ever noticed that when trump has no idea about something he just says any crazy thing that pops into his head and then he adds i dont know, which is pretty slick because then you can never call him out on it. Maybe birds can fly backward when were not looking. I dont know. I dont know. Well see. But this is a big deal. North and south korea now want to come to the table for talks that wont include the United States, and thats the power of donald trump. No matter how far apart two adversaries are, they can always look at each other and say, we better sort this bleep out before that guy gets unsolved, were just going to fix it ourselves. laughter so this could be the beginning of peace in korea or america being removed from the global conversation. I dont know, folks. Well see. Well be right back. cheers and applause keep it comin love. Keep it comin love. Dont stop it now, dont stop it no. Dont stop it now, dont stop it. Keep it comin love. Keep it comin love. Dont stop it now, if you keep on eating, well keep it comin. All you can eat riblets and tenders at applebees. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. Who who kicked over ae run means vending machine . Agers is that who we are . No no it isnt. Sabra grab and go hummus. Pretzels. Selfrespect. Sabra. Welcome to the unofficial meal. Trevor . Trevor welcome back to the daily show my guest tonight is an actor who plays zoey on blackish and starring in the new Spinoff Series grownish. Oh, my god you wreak how much weed did you smoke . Clearly not enough to be at a wack ass student photography show. This is an experimental art exhibit. This is socially conscious totally. Is it or just a bunch of sad photos of little black kids holding melted ice cream. Well i also saw a couple of sad photos on tiny black hands on chain link fences. Trevor please welcome yara shahidi cheers and applause trevor welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. Trevor im so glad to have you here. Everyone from blackish has been on the show. We have been fans of yours for a long time, and now youve gone from blackish to your new show grownish which parallels your real life in many ways. What is grownish about . Grownish is a very literal title in that as kid zoey johnson who thinks she is grown and soon realizes she is not. So its her journey in this world of uncertainty, and its really interesting because somebody pointed out that today was the day the creator of the show actually called me with the idea. So the show is being released basically a day from the day he actually called me and a year from the day i turned in my own college applications. Your character zoey goes into this new environment. Were they experiences that you took from your life that you apply to zoeys . I mean, i think the one thing that zoey is experiencing for the most part is shes no longer pecks personsing things in theory. Trevor right. So there is the reality of zoeys situation, she is socioeconomically privileged. A lot of what we talk about on the show doesnt directly affect her. There is a resemblance in that i have experience of living in blue level california and you have to realize not everybody agrees with you and you have to figure out your own opinion in why you believe in what you believe in. It cant be these are the way things are. You actually have to have facts and a line of reasoning. So a lot of that comes with your personal development in evolution along with the Political Development which is expedited by our current administration. applause trevor i was just appreciating that for a moment. Thats something that i wont lie amazed me the first time i saw you not in your role on tv. You flow. You lyrically flow through your ideas with a certain level of kanash most people do not possess, and youre also engaged in politics in a level most young people arent. As you said, you are turning 18 and because of that you are really excited to become a part of the voting process which is not normal for most young people. Do you think thats a sign of the times were in . Yes. Ive always been excited to vote. When i was four, i asked my grandfather if he would be my roommate in college because i was already looking forward to being in college. Trevor when you were four . Yes. laughter ive always been one to plan ahead. Trevor yes, thats way ahead. laughter so i think being 18, its, like, okay, cool, im an adult and everything, but i can finally vote. I think whats really exciting is that i will be able to vote during midterms, and midterms determines how we redistrict and being able to vote while we figure out how were redistricting means that in 2020 were going to have a few things figured out hopefully. Trevor do you think enough young people will come out and vote . I know you have an initiative youre trying to inspire young people to come out. Yes, it is called 18 by 18 for obvious reasons, but i think a big part of what this election proved is just how young people vote and with everything happening in virginia and alabama, we see people are not only willing to vote for firsttime candidates but there are firsttime voters finally coming out. Trevor right. A lot of the issue i personally see with how we educate this generation is we dont have to have a political opinion until its time to vote. So we inherit this system that we have no idea about, and we have no clue how it properly functions. So we theoretically vote based on ideology with no backup for why we support certain ideologies and no correlation for how our passions translate into policy change. Trevor right. So to create a platform in which it could easily spell that out and for us to truly take control of this political system i feel like is really important. Trevor if you look at the future because, i mean you plan way, way ahead laughter in a months time you turn 18, you then vote in the midterms, do you see a future where you get involved in politics more directly . I describe my future as being policy i a adjacent just in that i would like to be next to capitol hill but not on it and, so, the major that im doing at harvard is actually called social studies its an interdisciplinary sociology economics philosophy and anthropology major and africanamerican studies is my second major. Trevor wow. applause wow. But with that, the goal is to either go into the nonprofit space. Trevor right. Or something along those lines that can help influence our political system without being in the political system. Trevor and when you got into that world, when you applied to go to harvard, you had somebody really special who wrote a letter of recommendation for you. My a. P. Calc teacher did, indeed, write one of my letters of recommendation. Trevor that was one letter. And there was somebody else. First Lady Michelle obama did write the second one. cheers and applause trevor heres my thing, if Michelle Obama writes a letter of recommendation, i feel like you dont need to go to the school anymore, you just carry that with you and youre, like, uhhuh, uhhuh laughter how do you stay humble . How do you contextualize that in your life . Quite honestly ive lived a very nonnormal life, so i feel like i attribute it to the fact that one of my cousins is an astronaut and one is the rapper noz, so there are High Expectations in my family. Trevor yeah, i can only imagine, yeah. And, so, i think, with that being the context in which i was raised, theres a certain expectation that you would achieve awesome things and you just kind of keep going. Trevor well, i think youre going to do it. I think youre going to be the firstnaut rapper politician pres firstnaut rapper politician pres ident of the United States at the same time thank you so much for being on the show grownish premieres january 3rd at 8 00 p.
