Stand for, hmm, should we run this by a black person first . laughter h m said they would stop selling the sweatshirts which would make it worse i guess we have all these sweatshirts we cant sell in america, send them to poor kids in crap, did it again. Raff laugh i laughter if you head into coachella, even though marijuana is legal in california, they banned weed at coachella. Oh, no, people have been waiting all these years to finally smoke weed at coachella. The worst part about banning pot is the second weekend of coachella begins april 20th. 4 20 yeah how are you not going to celebrate hitlers birthday on weed . laughter what were you clapping for . laughter speaking of people who celebrate hitlers birthday, steve bannon is stepping down from breitbart. applause ah, what a comedown for someone with such a ragstorags story. laughter it must have been such a sad scene when breitbart security told bannon to clean out his desk and bannon said what is this clean you mentioned . This poor guy. Just imagine, last year he was hanging out with nazis and accused child molesters and now he just seems like a loser. laughter enough about losers. Moving to the winners. Last night was a monumental night in the south and a good monument. Alabama celebrated its fifth College Football championship in nine years. They had to bring in their backup quarterback, came back to win in overtime. Kendrick lamar was there to do the halftime show. One fan almost overshadowed the crimson tide, the orange tide, president trump. He attended last nights game i assume to hunt for unpatriotic black athletes and, as it turns out, he may not even know the song that he has been so passionate about. President trump taking to the field before the ncaa College FootballNational Championship in atlanta tonight. Tonight there are reports like one from the new york tail news claiming that the president appeared to say the words wrong during the National Anthem. What so proudly we hail at the twilights last gleaming whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight and the rockets red glare trevor oh you know whats funny is how trump comes in at the popular parts of the song. You can see that trump knows the words to the National Anthem the same way we all know words to a rihanna song work work work work work br br br br br tell me if you like it hmm hmm and the ramparts laughter does donald trump mow the words to the nationa National Anthem . I dont know and i dont care. What concerns me if he knows the lyrics to democracy. In between his tweetings and cheeseburgers, donald trump has been saying some pretty dictatory things and this statement he made recently caught my eye. The president tells the new york times, i have absolute right to do what i want to do with the Justice Department. Trevor thats a dangerous idea for the president to have. The purpose to have the Justice Department is to enforce the law of the United States according to whats fair, not according to what some guy wants, etch some president guy. But thanks to recent reports, were learning that donald trump doesnt quite see it the same way. President trump attempted to stop his attorney general Jeff Sessions from recusing himself in the russia investigation. The president reiterating regretfully, it seemed, that it was too bad sessions recused himself from the suggestion investigation and in perhaps a revealing comparison praised former attorney general eric holder because he protected president obama, totally protected him, adding, i have Great Respect for that, i will be honest. Trevor donald trump has one of the most twisted minds ive ever come across because not only does he think eric holder unethically protected obama, he thinks its the one good thing that holder did. Hes, like, i know eric holder burned obamas kenyon birth certificate into ashes, but youve got to admire how he broke the law to cover it up, folks. He did a good job. Good job. You see, in president trumps mind, the attorney general is his personal attorney. Thats what he thinks. All right . Instead of recusing himself from russia, he wanted Jeff Sessions to basically be his pint sized johnny cochran. Hes walking around, hes a good dude, he did not collude. If the sheets have no pee, the man must go free. laughter but fortunately for trump, Jeff Sessions is a by the book kind of guy and donald trump hates books. The president erupted innager in front of numerous white house officials saying he needed hes attorney general to protect him. President trump r mr. Trump then asked wheres mu roy cohn . Trevor wheres my roy cohn. Thats not the sequel to dude wheres my car. Its an incredibly revealing question for trump to have asked because hes saying his ideal attorney general is roy cohen, this guy. Roy cohen was a horrible guy. He would lie and cheat. He was the right hand assistant to joe mccarthy. He was singlehandedly responsible for naming innocent people as communist without any backing, without any evidence. Cohen specialized in this kind of savaging of enemies, lies, slander, character assassination. Roy cohen humiliated people, he made up things, he had no mocials. You couldnt say he even had the morals of a snake. Trevor man, i feel bad for snakes. laughter no, because one snake tells one woman to eat an apple and now everyone hates snakes and women. laughter applause so trump longing for a lawyer like roy cohen is disconcerting because what he admires in cohen is that he worked to destroy his political rivals by any means necessary and thats exactly what trump wants the Justice Department to do for him now and looks like he may be getting his wish. First this happened. President trump openly called for clinton to be investigated branding his former rival crooked hillary and tweeting where is our Justice Department . Trevor then this happened. The Justice Department is taking another look at Hillary Clintons use of a private email server as secretary of state. Fox can now confirm the Justice Department is now investigating whether the Clinton Foundation engaged in any play to pace games while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Trevor called for the Justice Department to investigate his political rival, now theyre doing it. That could make you afraid. Whether or not there are legitimate reasons to further investigate clinton and her people, if the president can start criminal investigations into anyone he wants, feels less like a democracy and more like a trumpocracy. I feel bad for Hillary Clinton because shes always taking the brunt of these things. You know this will never end for her. She will be in the grave and republicans will want to exhume the body for more investigations. She will be in heaven. St. Peter will say, welcome to heaven, my child. Your time here what . The republicans want to investigate uranium one. Wait outside. Well be right back cheers and applause do nthanks grandma. Why dont you fetch me some doritos. whoosh dog barks fetch me a bare na. whoosh and dog bark bear growl scream crunch nothing. What u doin . Hey. Break through. Break through. Discover card. I justis this for real . Match, yep. We match all the cash back new cardmembers earn at the end of their first year, automatically. Whoo i got my money hard to contain yourself, isnt it . Uh huh let it go whoo get a dollarfordollar match at the end of your first year. Only from discover. cheers and applause trevor welcome back to the daily show theres news and then theres news thats not like the newsnews. So in this segment we focus on the news thats not in that news, but in other news. cheers and applause tonight other news is all International Starting with the Prime Minister of thailand who just found a new way to avoid the press. Thailands Prime Minister took on unusual approach to avoiding Media Questions at an event to promote childrens day, brought out a life size cutout of himself. He told reporters to ask this guy if they had any questions on politics or conflict, then he walked away. Trevor that is gangster laughter you know Sarah Huckabee sanders is ordering one of those for everyone in the white house now. applause please direct your questions to Kellyanne Conway cardboard, thank you. They dont need one for ben carson even though everybody thinks hes a cardboard cut out, im a real boy. Im still here. Have you noticed ben carsons department has done nothing. I think its because hes still reading the mission statement. Hes, like, we will givethe homestopeople who need its 5 00, ben, weve got to go. Okay, sentence three tomorrow. laughter in other news, pakistan that is recently come under fire from the Trump Administration for harboring terrorists. Despite having received u. S. Military aid for decades. The president decided not to pay people. The Washington Post reports Trump Administration will suspend most security aid to pakistan. The administration said it would previously suspend 255 million in military support for pakistan. Small antiu. S. Protest broke out. The u. S. Accuses pakistan of not doing enough to crack down of terrorism inside its own borders. Trevor im going to put it out and say this actually might be the right decision from donald trump. If you have burn flag money, maybe you dont need the u. S. To give you more. I do okay myself and i dont have spare flags lying around, people. You cant just burn flags. Thats not the way to try to win america back. If your girl says she needs space you wont get her back by burning her car and say, but i love you i love you laughter now because america is stepping away, china is already taking advantage of the situation to get closer to pakistan, which is something that were seeing all over the world. Essentially every time the u. S. Stops getting along with a country, china steps in on the rebound. Basically, china is every r b guy from the 90s. Its, like and he wont love you like me laughter its just, like, thats all chinas doing. cheers and applause trevor in other news, happy birthday kim jong un yeah yesterday he turned 34, abhe had what i can only assume was an awkward Birthday Party because i mean they probably came out and was, like, surprise hes, like, wheres my cake . Theyre, like, whats cake . He says, you guys suck. Yesterday he extended an olive branch to the south on his birthday. For the first time in eight years north korea decided to send its athlete, a figure skating pair, and maybe more to the upcoming olympic games. South korea even wants to enter the olympics Opening Ceremony side by side with the north korean team. The North Koreans calling it a new years give it, for the south an insurance policy that kim jong un wont disrupt the games. Trevor huh, slick move by kim jong un. Its, like, were going to send figure skaters to the games to bring peace. You know he probably just watched the Tonya Harding movie and was like, ah, i figured out how to take everyone out. Lets get it going, people. Bring me my blades. So, yeah, north and south korea will be competing in the olympics where they will be collectively referred to by the americans as the chinese team.

My guest tonight is an actor who can be seen in the critically acclaimed movie mudbound and starring in the new showtime series the chi. Roll with me, get your mind off stuff. No, im good, bro. Something up . Talk to me, bro. I think i know who killed my brother. bleep . For real . What the bleep we gonna do then . I dont know what to do. You got a piece . No, man, i aint trying to kill nobody. Trevor please welcome jason mitchell. cheers and applause whoo this is a good looking crowd trevor welcome to the show. Thank you, thank you, thank you for having me. This is a good looking crowd. Trevor so good to have you. You looking sharp. Never seen you in a suit. Youre all dapper. No, i watch your show all the time. Im, like, i gotta show up. Trevor i appreciate that. Welcome to the show. So many people know you straight out of compton as eazy e. So many know you from the screen. You play a character eazy e who had a gangster life but is a human being, struggled with aids. Thats a sensitive character you played. Was that the moment that everything changed for you straight out of compton. For a while i thought i was crazy, like, should i get a real job . Is this headed down the wrong path . But i always knew i had somebody beautiful inside i wanted to show to the world and eazy e let me unpeel my onion in front of the world. After getting the feedback, i thought, i might be in the right lane. This might turn out all right. cheers and applause trevor it has like, your story of getting that gig is really a cinderella story because you couldnt even afford to fly yourself out for the audition. Correct. I was at work and they called me back, like this is maybe a month and a half after i sent my tape in, so i didnt think i was going to get it. I thought somebody else was in line for that. So they call me and theyre, like, yeah, wed like you to fly to l. A. Tomorrow. Im, like, im sorry are, what . Because the way my bank account is set up, you hear what im saying, i cant really do that. Now, tomorrow, unless you plan on paying for it, ive got to call out to work. Then 30 minutes later they call me and said gary gray the director wants to skype with you. I go home, set up the hard wire, put a satellite dish on the house, please dont skip. Trevor this is the one time you need it. One time i need it not to buffer. It was an hour and 17 ppts we stayed on skype. Trevor wow. Yeah, we did the same scenes five times back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, just kept going. I had to do the hospital scene, so im, like, crying and the butterflies are leaving my stomach and gary is, like, breathe, jason, just breathe, just breathe. So it starts to tickle my stomach a little bit, right, so i just bust out laughing. I can hear all the voices and i can only see his face and hes saying, hes good, right . And i booked it right there on skype. Trevor an amazing story. Yeah cheers and applause trevor i feel thats something many critics and directors and fans have noticed about you is you have the ability to portray a character in an authentic manner. You play these strong male characters but without the toxic masculinecally aattached. Youre not afraid to cry. Is that something you bring to each role . Absolutely. I think in new orleans growing up as a black man, i wanted to be the strength. I never cried when i lost my father. My sister took it hard. I wanted to be the guy everybody leaned on. I think most men think like that. In the process, we forget to hug and love each other and say, hey, man, its all good and we forget to let the tears out sometimes. Trevor right. But through my work i learned its very therapeutic. Im crying on set, bouncing around, people are, like, how are you doing this . Im, like, i feel better. I let the tears out. I really feel better. Its going really good. Its been really therapeutic. Trevor when we look at the chi, this is a story that has blown up. This is a fascinating story because every story in chicago seems to be about crime and this is a story that acknowledges the crime in chicago but its not about the crime, its about the people. Right, right. I know weve got some chicago people in the audience cheering yeah, and chicago has a lot of love. Chicago is a very familyoriented city. They do food, some of the best, you know. And i think its misunderstood and misjudged because its one of the cities that has a real identity. You know what i mean . Trevor im with you. They want people to do things right by them but at the same time its just very misunderstood. So i think with this tv show, you get to see that its not just senseless killings. Its not just violence, its not just drugs. Its not just gangs. Sometimes its people with families. Most time it is people with families and u. S. Just a domino effect. This story is a story of one bullet changing a bunch of peoples lives, you know what i mean . So its very familyoriented and people are just people really see the story behind some of these just shootings. Ill never forget when i first went to chicago the first time, walking past this billboard, its like an interactive billboard and says 46 people were shot this weekend. Im thinking like, wow, why is this not the talk of chicago. You know what i mean . Its such a half and half city. Its the most segregated city ive ever been to. But its also very beautiful. And i think the ignorance comes from people not being able to understand each other. Trevor right. And this tv show brings the understanding. Trevor is there a role that you see yourself playing is there a dream role youre aiming for . Any character. If i could play any character, i think it would be Louie Armstrong or maybe floyd mayweather. Trevor wow, thats the complete opposite on each side. Louie armstrong or floyd maewater. Youve got to stretch yourself. Youve got to shoot for it. Trevor its amazing. Youre one of my favorite actors. Thank you, man. Trevor the chi airs sundays at 10 00 p. M. On showtime. Mudbound is streaming on netflix. Jason mitchell, everybody. Well be right back well be right back the great emperor penguin migration. Trekking a hundred miles inland to their breeding grounds.

Stay tuned for the opposition with Jordan Klepper which is coming up next. Now here it is. Your moment of zen. If donald trump has three more years like the year he just had of amazing successes, he can run against a combined ticket of jesus and the virgin mary and he will still win in 2020. cheers and applause jordan if you strike me down, i shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Those are the words of Abraham Lincoln before he fought john wilkes booth. But he could easily have been quoting stephen k. Bannon who, it was announced today, is stepping down from his position as the head of breitbart news. [cheers and applause] now, some are saying oh how fast the mighty have fallen and yes, it is true that mightier objects fall faster. Thats just physics. But dont write off bannon as quickly as you would your private jet under the new g. O. P. Tax plan. Bannon has a proven record of becoming more powerful the more
