From Comedy Centrals world news headquarters in new york, this is the daily show with trevor noah. cheers and applause trevor welcome to the daily show with trevor noah everybody, im trevor noah. And you guys are the daily show, wow. This is amazing. Lets do t lets do it, take a seat, lets get into it our guest tonight, the Pulitzer Prizewinning reporter was broke the Harvey Weinstein story jodi kantor and megan teuly are everybody, everybody. Also on tonights show, the nfl is running out of players, america may go if the price is right and scientists are experimenting with black. So lets catch up on todays headlines. Lets kick it off with amazon. The biggest retailer has steadily been taking over the world and now they need your help to do it. Tonight one of the countrys biggest employers has put out the help wanted sign. Amazon looking to fill ten of thousands of positions. Todays amazon career day held in six cities arlington, virnlg yarks the future home of amazons hq2 as well as nashville, boston, dallas, seattle and chicago. Amazons goal, hire 30,000 employees by early next year, from 15 an hour warehouse jobs to computer programmers and execs earning 125,000 and up. Wow. Amazons going to hire 30,000 people . You know you are a big company when you can just hire the population of palm springs. Yeah, just walk in like were hiring, all of you, come on, lets go. I will be honestk i dont know if i want to go on a Job Interview with a company that knows everything i have bought on the internet. Yeah, i feel like i would be vulnerable. They will be like where do you see yourself in five years an also why did you buy this maximum strength butt cream, your hemorrhoids feeling bepter . Also amazon isnt just one business, you know they do retail, health care, web hosting, groceries, they have a tv studio. Those interviews must have been chaos. One dude was there like i want to work in the warehouse and the person behind is im auditioning for marvelous mrs. Maisel. Also 30,000 jobs sounds like a lot but its small when you remember how Many Companies they put out of business, right. Sph you think about it, that is the future. Amazon will eventually take over the entire world and eventually we will all work for them, yeah. All of us. Hour our whole lives will be packing items that we will then deliver to ourselves. We will be like here you go, me. Thanks, me. Oh, my butt cream. Speaking of people looking for jobs it looks like quarterback Colin Kaepernick is resubmitting his resume to the nfl. In sports a rash of quarterback injuries in the nfl could set the stage for Colin Kaepernick to make a comeback. He hasnt played since 2016 but his agent has reportedly contract contacted teams searching for a qb saying kaepernick is ready to return. One source says is he in the best shape of his life. Trevor of course colin saiper nick is in the best chaip of his life, he hasnt played football since 2016. Football is the only sport where not playing makes you healthier. Yeah, he will be on the field like ha ha, my brain damage is three years behind you guys. Ha ha ha. But the truth is kaepernick really actually has a chance to play this year, right, because st only week two and get this five teams have already lost their quarterbacks to injury. Yeah. Which is very lucky for Colin Kaepernick and very suspicious. Like im not saying he hurt anybody but maybe while he was taking a knee he also asked good for a favor. He was like hey jesus wont you [bleep] some dudes so i can play, yeah yeah yeah, amen. I think it would be great if kaepernick would come back to play for him and the nfl because he would be great for ratings since everyone would tune in to see if he kneels and he wont be a challenge for the other team because they know how to beat him. Every time he snaps the ball the defense will just sing the National Anthem and he will be forced to neil, forget de fenders other teams will get carrie underwood, sing, sing it now, sing it finally a story out of washington. Everyone knows that the u. S. Secret services job is to keep the president and his family safe. And now they look totally cool doing it. Summer may be ending but the secret service is buying some new sumenter recreational equipment. The agency is buying two kawasaki jet skis to help protect dignitaries including the first family. The secret service says the president and the family are very active in water sports. Recently agents have been paying for watercraft out of their own wallet. Trevor okay. Of all the things i thought i would learn about trump and his family, it definitely wasnt that they are active in water sports. laughter i be like trumps version of being active in water is trying to keep his head dry in the shower, you know. If i get it wet it will die. If i get it wet, it will die but apparently this say real thing. All right, the secret Service Needs to buy jet skis because the trump family spends a lot of time in the water. While that and melania sometimes tries to sail away, they cant let that happen. laughter and by the way, if you are worried about government spending, i just want to point out that the jet skis wouldnt be a problem if you had a black president. Yeah. In fact, when you think about it, with a black president you can take water, snow and camping budgets and you can put it back into schools. All right, thats it for the headlines. Lets move on to our top story. cheers and applause the middle east. Its like the new york knicks. Its got major problems and will probably be generations before theyre fixed. And over the weekend tensions flaired up once again in the region when saudi arabias Oil Facilities were attacked by missiles. And the u. S. And saudi arabia are pointing the finger at iran which means shit go down. Crisis and uncertainty across the mid east this morning. The u. S. And sawed yee arabia facing a big military decision. U. S. Intelligence indicating cruise missiles that hit saudi arabia were fired from iran. Overnight iran issuing a new warning to the United States even as secretary of state mike pompeo traveled to the region to confront the crisis. Yeah, thats right, mike pompeo secretary of state and satisfied home de pot customer is flying to the middle east to confront the crisis head on. I actually feel bad for secretaries of state because you realize they only get sent to shitty situations. Yeah, it is always them jumping on a 16 hour flight to prevent a war on genocide or pretend to like kim jong un. Be like hey, kim, i love that outfit, who made it, oh, a slave, very nice. And its not even like they have to go to these places in person, right. Like what is pompeo doing in the middle east right now that he cant do on the phone. Is he just on the border of iran like you want a piece of this, iran huh . , you want this iran, oh shit, theyre bringing it, theyre bringing it but despite there being no casualties, this is still a big deal. These facilities are responsible for five percent of the Worlds Oil Production and is probably why donald trump is going through all of his options on how to respond. The pentagon is cautioning against striking iran but has given President Trump a list of possible targets there. You certainly could strike revolutionary guard core sites. Could you hit bases. Other options, a u. S. Cyberattack against iran or targeting iranian ships. On monday military leaders presented a list of possible actions against iran but people briefed on the meeting say that the president asked for more, that he was looking for a more narrow response that would not draw the u. S. Into a broader conflict with iran. Trevor if there is one thing i appreciate about donald trump is that despite raving like a madman on twitter, hes actually quite reluctant when it comes to actual war. Which when you think about it is everyone on twitter, yeah. On land they would be like screw you gronkowski but then if he shows up, it would be what did you say, oh, talking about a different gronkowski. My friend, michael gron scowsky. But trump is always quick to remind americas enemies that just because he doesnt want to fight doesnt mean that america cant fight. Late sunday President Trump said the u. S. Believes it nose the culprit behind this weekends drone attack on saudi arabias Oil Facilities and is locked and loaded. The said the United States is prepared for war. The United States is more prepared than any country in the history of of in any history, if we have to go that way. laughter . Trevor in any history, any history. Is trump talking about parallel universes . No, like what if we think hes crazy but the truth is that his brain can access alternate reality it would explain everything he says is always just slightly off. Maybe in a parallel universe Hurricane Dorian did hit alabama. Yeah, maybe there covfefe is a real word. And president douglas is still alive. It may be that or hes a dumb as ass and well never know. The point is it is still not clear whether america will go to war with iran which is probably confusing for a lot of people because why is protecting saudi arabia americas problem to begin with. Well, apparently it is because saudi arabia and america have forged a deep bond over their shared values by which i mean cold, hard cash. That was an attack on saudi arabia. And there wasnt an attack on us but we would certainly help them. Theyve been a great ally. They spend 400 billion dollars in our country over the last number of years. And theyre not ones that unlike some countries where they want terms. They want terms and continues. D condition conditions, no, saudi arabia pays cash. The saudis are going to have a lot of involvement in this if we decide to do something, they will be very much involved and that includes payment. Trevor okay, so is trump saying america should go to war with saudi arabia because they buy their stuff in cash . That would be the worst motivational speech before war ever. That is like why do we fight . Not for our wives. Not for our children. No, because they pay cash aahhh sometimes ven mow which we also venmo which we also accept. Aahhh. So this is a tu day for america. From being a country that used to fight only for its values to don king over here saying if the price is right, america going to fight. If that is the case you realize those army ads you see on tv you have to change them to be a lot different. Are you a country that wants to go to war but you dont want to use your own weapons. Do you have cash . Well, the American Military is open for business under President Trumps new policy Americas Armed forces are up for rent. We got planes, we got those guns that go ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba. Ba ba ba, ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba. And if you order a deluxe package well even send you the guys that got bin laden. What a deal. If you got the money, americas military will fight whoever i want. France . Sure. Your countrys civil war, hell yes, america itself, see you later my house. Dont spend your blood and treasure on pointless war. Spend ours. Supplies are limited so call today.

Trevor welcome back to the daily show. You know, every day scientists are coming out with new innovations to improve our lives. Pills to reverse aging. Plants that taste like real meat, and a watch that can tell time. I dont know how apple did it. And now scientists at mit have made a breakthrough with the color black. And theres no going back. Scientific breakthrough at m. I. T. To tell you about involving the color or noncolor black. Engineers have developed what theyre calling the blackest black on the planet. Theyve cooked up the color using carbon nanotubes. This new black is apparently ten times blacker than anything previously records. Can you see it. No. It is a little hard. Researchers say that this could serve a practical purpose. The blackest black could end up being used inside tel scopes used to spot far away planets. The blackest black on the planet . Why . laughter whos ever been in the dark and thought eh, this could be way darker. laughter and why are there scientists at m. I. T. Who just make colors . That is what kindergarteners do. Are you telling me some engineer is working on a more Efficient Solar Panel and the guy next to him is like yellow and blue makes green laughter and if you ever see this blackest black in the real world, well, turns out bmw is already work on it. Bmw is taking one of its special edition cars and painting it the blackest black on earth. The company says its newest xx model will be unveiled next month with one version of what is called a vanta black finished considered one of the darkest shades of black on earth with the pigments absorbing 99 of light. Trevor yeah, this is a great idea, bmw, what everyone needs, a car that you cant see coming. Yeah. Take the terror out of being run over as a pedestrian because one minute are you walking and then youre not, ah, what happened. It also gives a whole new meaning to uber black, yeah, you will be like where the hell is this guy, are you already in my car, aahhh stars off for sneaky. For more please welcome our Senior Science expert roy wood, jr. , everybody. cheers and applause trevor, i have been following this blackest black story very closely and im not the only one. A couple of store managers have been following it around too. Just to make sure. And i have to be honest, this aint the blackest black. Trevor roy, why would you say that. First off, look at what they named it. If you had a black and you knew it was the blackest of all the blacks, you wouldnt just call it the blackest black, you would give it a cool name, a cool black name like pet ddz rala or roy ef owe other color gets its own name. Ma hog onee isnt called super red, navy isnt called dark ass blue, you wouldnt call emerald greener than a [bleep]. The blackest black, that dont even sound like a real thing. Sound like a slur Jussie Smollett made up. And then they called me the blackest black. And they beat me up and stole my sandwich. Also trevor, how can we know for sure its the blackest. They aint tested it. Did it go to an hbcu . Does it go to church for six hours . Can it make real potatoe salad . You going to call yourself the blackest you got to prove yourself. Trevor roy, roy, i think you are confused, this doesnt have anything to do with culture, this is about applied science, it was just basically an experiment in physics. You saw that car bmw made. Oh yeah. That car was pretty black. That car was so black it is the only car that is prone to diabetes. Which is my point. I dont want a car that has to deal with the same systemic issues as me. That car so black even if it was selfdriving it would get pulled over. laughter excuse me, car, im going to need you to step out of the car. Trevor okay, roy, i feel like are you taking this developmentment a bit personally, man. Im not taking it personally. Im taking it scientifically. These m. I. T. Nerds dont know shit about blackness but if they want to come out with the blackest black, two can play that game. Because i have invented the whitest white in fact, i have got a picture of it right here, you mate want to cover your eyes. This whitest whitest white right here, bam, that slt whitest white. applause . Trevor roy, jr. , everyone, well be right back. Put that down. Down. applause [flicker of lights] [hum of fan] [sound of door opening] im not regular i will not give you regular [click, click, click] [click, click, click] [flicker of lights] im not regular i will not give you regular i can taste my beer i can taste my beer.

My guests tonight are investigative reporters at the New York Times who won the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of Harvey Weinstein. Their new book is called she said, breaking the sexual harass harassment story that helped ignite a movement. Please welcome jodi kantor and megan twohey. applause welcome to the daily show and congratulations on a book that i think takes us behind the scenes of one of the biggest stories that has ever hit any country. And that is a story of Harvey Weinstein. You wrote the box and you titled it she said which is oftentimes what people say is oh, this is he said, she said. We cant figure it out, why use that title. Well, what we really wanted to do was bring you with us on this investigation. The events of me too have come to mean so much to so many people, that we can finally tell you the truth of what happens behind the scenes. We want you there with us during those first conversations with the, they are very nervous even though they are some of the most famous women in the world to tell us their stories. But there are actually some hes and for example we want to you meet the kind of deep throat of the weinstein investigation, Harvey Weinsteins own accountant who had worked for him for 30 years. Trevor wow. So how do you even begin to convince somebody to speak up when theyre up against Harvey Weinstein . Well, there were so many reasons for these women not to speak up and not go on the record. And one of the cases that we made to them was we cant change what has happened to you in the past. But if you work with us and we are able to publish the truth, we might be able to protect other people from getting hurt. Trevor because harveys story spans decades. I mean you have people who are saying thises with a big part of my life, this is what Harvey Weinstein did to me. Sexual allegations, though, weve learned remain, you know, in this world where people say oh its murky and you know, women, men, versus this, that, nobody knows for certain. You are journalists. You are reporting on this story but you still have to investigate the women who have come forward with these stories. Was there a conflict in how you report on that . Or is there something that you just have to click into your mind and go like im investigating the story and thats that. Well, what we were looking for was evidence. This had all been in the realm of hearsay. And part of what we want people to see in this story is that facts really can have social impact when theyre carefully gathered. So part of what we are explaining here is what are secret settlements. How did we find the trail of how Harvey Weinstein feed off women, what other man i late manipulation did he use to make these womens stories disappear. Trevor when you look at the obscuring of the truth, when you look at how Harvey Weinstein did it, does it speak to a larger issue in society . You know, because everyone talks about Harvey Weinstein, they go oh, thats the worst. But is this something we need to be looking at on a larger level. Are there more harveys in society, Harvey Weinstein. This story goes way beyond Harvey Weinstein and with additional reporting we were really able to this really turned into an xray of abuse of power. And we were able to pull the curtain back on the machinery that, in place to silence women and cover weinsteins tracks. We push to the question of complicit to individuals and institutions that got a glimpse of his wrongdoing and basically looked the other way. So these are questions that apply to workplaces across the country, to individuals and colleagues. Trevor right. And it speaks to a broader abuse of power. Trevor it really is an interesting conversation about power because in the book you expose women who helped Harvey Weinstein maintain, you know, his secretary resee in doing these things. That must be, i mean, you know, i think heartwrenching, not just as a journalist but a women as well. Finding out how many women help Harvey Weinstein do what he does. This story is filled with surprises about who helped and who hend hindered and you are right, lisa bloom, a famous feminist attorney who is on tv all the time, has represented victims in very high profile cases actually crossed the lines to help Harvey Weinstein and she crossed to the other side, basically. An in the book we reproduce in full a memo in which she in her own hand lays out a kind of audition job memo for Harvey Weinstein. And what she is saying to him is they are worried about the rose mcgowan allegation that came early on, a tweet that named Harvey Weinstein and lisa bloom that famous feminist is saying i will manipulate on your behave, i will smeer on your behave and here is exactly how im going to do it. Trevor it is a really heartwrenching story when you read through it. But at the same time, it feels like it ends in a hopeful place, which i dont know if i am interpreting the book correctly. Is that what you were trying to achieve. Well, we actually, the last bit of the last thing we did in the course of our reporting was a pretty Extraordinary Group interview, this fall will mark the three Year Anniversary of the access hollywood tape, the two Year Anniversary of the weinstein story and the oneYear Anniversary of Christine Blasey ford testify aeing brett kavanaugh. We brought together in one room women who were central in all three of those stories that helped shift the culture. And we asked them, what was it like on the other side. And it was clear that for all of these women that had been a transforming experience. And so and it was clear that it wasnt, nobody could be sure what was going to happen next and where the Metoo Movement was headed but there was a consensus that by speaking up they had all helped bring about change. There is no doubt that the Metoo Movement has affected america forever. But has it actually changed society, have you noticed through your journalism, through your reporting, maybe even your personal experiences that there is actually a change in what happens in the world . Oh, well, what is so con founding is that everything has changed and nothing has changed. On the one hand we have seen this sort of wave of mass firings, corporations take this more seriously. On the other hand we have seen that the basic structures and systems are still in place. And its not clear that we have yet found a way to solve this problem. But what we can contribute as journalists is you cant solve a problem you cant see. And for a long time nobody saw this problem fully. And so thats our job to help everybody see it. Trevor what do you hope people will get from the book . What i hope people will get from the book is the idea that stories matter. When megan just described all of these diverse women we have in this room last january talking about the experiences of coming forward, it was everybody from Gwyneth Paltrow to a mcdonalds worker to Christine Blasey ford. And what i, a woman am had come forward about trump many years earlier, rachel crooks. And what i think they all saw is that these personal intimate stories from their past, once they shared them with other people, they had consequence beyond what they ever could have imagined. Trevor coming together to try and fix what happened in the past. Thank you so much for coming on the show, it is an amazing book. I hope everybody reads this. And hopefully the happy ending will come true. Thank you so much for being on the show. Thank you, thanks for having us. Plaws plus. Trevor she said is available now, a powerful story you have to read, jodi kantor, megan twohey, everybody. Megan twohey, everybody. Well be right back. Theres a lot of stuff michael follows online. Then he tried tostitos scoops and salsa. And he started following them in real life. No and kept following. Everywhere. Wow, okay. Boundaries, michael, boundaries. Hey, mike. Sup. Oh tostitos. Get together already. Im on the pill. Ill. Im on the pill. Im on the pill, too. But its not birth control. Its truvada for prep®, a oncedaily prescription medicine for adults that, when taken every day along with using safer sex practices, can help lower my chances of getting hiv through sex. I use condoms. But i talked to my doctor about doing more. He said that because i had a higher chance of getting hiv through sex, truvada for prep could be an option for me. She also told me that truvada alone may not keep me from getting hiv. And it does not prevent other stis or pregnancy. You must be hivnegative to take truvada for prep. So you need to get tested for hiv immediately before, and at least every 3 months while taking, truvada. If you think you were exposed to hiv or have flulike symptoms, tell your doctor right away. They may do more tests to confirm you are still hivnegative. Serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems, kidney failure, and bone problems,
