Jon welcome to the daily show. My name is jon stewart. My guest tonight, one of my favorite rappers Academy Award winner, common will be joining us on the program. cheers and applause first you know speaking of common, the film selma, last weekend, we saw the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the march in selma. Incredibly inspiring reminder of the lengths that people had to go to during the Civil Rights Movement from selma to the lunch counter greensboro sitins, to the interstate bus freedom riders. But i believe it was isaac newton who once said for every bus bending the arc of the moral universe towards justice theres another bus coming in the opposite direction. laughter trying really hard to bend that bleep back. laughter a bus packed with s. A. E. Fraternity members. You can hang them from a tree but theyll never sign with me there will never be a bleep in s. A. E. Jon hahahaboom that is the university of that is the university of oklahomas Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity describing their rush policy in racist chant form. Now, i know what youre thinking after seeing that video luckily, oklahoma line backer eric striker put your feeling into words. Im so bleep furious right now. S. A. E. Just bleep it up for you all bleep white fraternities. Same bleep talkin about racism dont exist be the same bleep that be shakin our hands, givin us hugs, tellin how you really love us. bleep you phony bleep fraud bleep . laughter cheers and applause jon i felt that. laughter by the way phonyassbitches is those kids new fraternity. You know what, i gotta say, i think everyone felt pretty angry after this incident but luckily, we got a speedy apology. I was angered. I was you know, i was outraged. I apologize for the profanity, but im not apologizing about how i felt because thats how i felt in my heart. Jon oh, i forgot to mention the first one to apologize for this entire incident wasnt the bus full of racist chanters but the guy who made the mistake of swearing when he reacted to the bus full of racists. laughter but dont worry, those s. A. E. Kids deeply regret that someone filmed this. Parker rice the freshfaced frat boy leading members of s. A. E. In that nowinfamous chant, is apologizing publicly writing, i am deeply sorry for what i did saturday night. It was wrong and reckless. I made a horrible mistake. He goes on to say alcohol may have fueled his bad decision making. Jon oh, may have. laughter may have. Although, not as much as the racism. laughter unless you were sipping one of them Johnny Walker no blacks. Or perhaps a budwhite. Well, i guess thats what you can expect when you let young, clueless white guys run around without any supervision. Another video has surfaced. This one appears to show the fraternitys 78yearold house mother using that same racial slur back in 2013. bleep , bleep bleep , bleep . The former house mom, her name beauton gilbow,. laughter jon this is terrible, but i will say it is a bit of a relief when youre doing a horrible story and everything seems so dark, but for comic relief in walks futon elbow. Beauton gilbow. Jon bonbon pillow. Beauton gilbow. Tauntaun armadillo. Beauton gilbow. Jon beyonce sasparillo. Beauton gilbow. Jon boca raton dildo. laughter applause i dont im sorry, i dont you know, there was outrage. Theyre disgusting. Theyre horrible. Disgusting and racist. Awful. Violent vulgar. Sickening. Jon yes, its awful and the Fraternity Chapter was immediately and rightfully disbanded. Two people expelled for the disgraceful display. I mean, theres no excuse for tor so you would think. The kids that are buying hiphop, its a white audience and they hear this over and over again. Popular culture becomes a cesspool. A the love corporations profit over it off it and some people are described some drunk 19yearold kids repeat what theyve been hearing. Exactly jon two things the first of all, the kids on that bus werent repeating a rap song that they had heard. They were gleefully performing one of their fraternitys, oh lets call them antinegro spirituals featuring a word that predates rap and probably folk and thought. Black rappers did not introduce that word into the vernacular. And second of all how come when conservatives talk about African American they say these people need to take responsibility pull up their pants and get a job. But when white people show racism they say those poor children dont know wrong from white after being drif tone madness by the irresistible power of hippityhoppity. laughter cheers and applause and you know, we have had a string of really public raicht incidents oh these past years. Cliven bundy suggesting that blacks might have been better off under slavery. Donald sterling is accused of making racist remarks that were caught on tape. A blistering Justice Department report found a pattern of racial bias in ferguson policing. Jon any time one of these comes to light certain people in the media present it not as being indicative a deep, problematic racial divide in our nation that exists till today, but as an unending series of isolated events. Its sterlings problem. Its bundys problem. Its not the countrys problem. We have a black president. We have leaders of all major industriesindustries who are black. Its a generational thing. Racism is on its last leg. Jon pretty strong bleep leg. laughter i think it might be i think it might be a bionic leg. laughter rather than face the lingering reality of prejudice in this country, each incident even the department of justices ferguson report, as comprehensive a catalog of racebased predations that anyone is going to find, its an invitation to bend over backwards to negate the role of race. Basically what they said is the Ferguson Police ferguson municipality, the city of ferguson, is so desperate for money that it is issuing tons of traffic citations minor fiebz that are abusive. So its not a story of institutional racism in ferguson. Its a story of bloodsuck local government thats trying to get every ounce of revenue that it can. Jon by overwhelmingly harassing black people. No accumulation of racist incidents is enough to convince these guys that racism is still a so societywide problem especially considering the conservative medias whole Business Model is generalizing isolated incidents. Using one lobstereating surfer on food stamps to convince their fearful viewers this country is in the throes of a freeloaders christmas war. I guess in foxworld poverty is a choice but being racist is a product of your environment. laughter you know what . February with that in mind im hopeful. Racism defort myers deniers are just a slight inflection away from actually understanding the depth of the real problem. Heres megan kelly explaining why finding emails from Ferguson Police supervisors comparing the president to a chimpanzee is not evidence of a larger issue. There are very few companies in america, whether theyre public or private, in which you can seek 40 f. B. I. Agents on the company and review every emil and document and communication between the employees, you wont find any racist emails, any ipappropriate comments and to tar the entire organization with that is problematic. Jon its so close laughter you have the right words. Your inflection is just a little off. Let me try it again. clears throat there are very few companies in america where if you review their communications youre not going to find racist emails you see the difference . You see that . And then just as a suggestion you could tag that sentence with how bleep up is that cheers and applause well be right back. Wow. Sweet new subaru, huh mitch . Yep. Youre selling the mitchmobile . Man, we had a lot of good times in this baby. Whats your dad want for it . Like a hundred and fifty grand, two hundred if they want that tape deck. Youre not going to tell your dad about the time my hamster had babies in the backseat, are you . thats just normal wear and tear, dude. vo subaru has the highest resale value of any brand. According to kelley blue book. And mitch. Love. Its what makes a subaru a subaru. Welcome back. Thank you. Its not home. But with every well considered detail, it becomes one step closer. No wonder more People Choose delta than any other airline. cheers and applause jon welcome back the scandal over Hillary Clintons nonuse of a mandated government email account while secretary of state has entered its second week which means we here at the daily show had plenty of time to make a graphic open for such said scandal. cheers and applause jon yesterday, uh former president Hillary Clinton held a press conference to explain why the rule saying she to conduct her business on a government email account did not really appeal to her. When i got to work as secretary of state i opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the state department because i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two. Jon two devices is a tussle. I mean, lets say you wanted to enjoy, lets say, a delicious sundae, and then youre like oh, no my blackberry. Oh oh, wait im getting another call hold on hold on oh no oh laughter applause i think you figure a situation like that is going to happen all the time. laughter laughter i didnt think you were going to move with me. laughter cheers and applause two problems with this answer. First, since clinton left the state department, her singledevice preference has completely gone away. I have a you know, an ipad a mini ipad, iphone and blackberry. A side kick, a vita, a zune. Nintendo power glove. laughter can with two strings. Fax machine. And a burner phone. I just snap that in half and toss it in the chesapeake. Woo ive said too much. Second, you are a person that wants to be president , which is a super inconvenient job. Did you know that everywhere you go, you not only have to carry a phone but a briefcase filled with nuclear codes. So you cant suddenly go, briefcase is kind of a haas toll carry can i just put the codes on my phone because halfway through your term you butt dial a nuclear trike to mexico. Look, heres the thing, the rule exists so that the government can automatically archive all your work emails. But since you did it your own way, your work emails are all mixed up with your personal emails, and now they have to be separated out. Let me guess who you chose to handle that delicate job. What i did was to direct, you know my counsel to conduct a thorough investigation. I am very confident of the process that we conducted. I have no doubt that weve done exactly what we should have done. Jon and i have no doubt that you have no doubt. laughter and maybe you did hand over everything you were supposed to but when we all agree to do things a certain way and you do it in a different way it looks weird. Its like we all agreed to recycle blue cans and the green cans. But you go got it blue and green. We say is she going to put them in the cans . No, but ill take care of it. And then we think, just put it in the bleep green can how hard is it . No, no, its okay. I got the glass. Im doing it in my house. Its okay. laughter so just for funsies, why dont you let somebody who doesnt work for you look through those personal emails just to see if you missed anything. Clinton said after she went and organized her emails determine chicago ones were official business to be sent over to the state department and which ones were personal, that she deleted about 30,000 emails that she determined to be purely personal. laughter jon what the bleep . I didnt see any reason to keep them. Jon and welcome back. laughter you just told us you didnt follow the rules because having two separate email address would be way too big a pain in the ass but you know what is a far bigger pain in the ass . Trying to delete 30,000 emails. Well be right back. cheers and applause this little piece of hersheys chocolate. Is called a pip its the way we all start and end a hersheys bar. Pip by delicious pip. Hersheys is mine, yours, our chocolate. cheers and applause jon welcome back. My guest tonight is an oscar and grammywinning artist and an actor. His new movie is called run all night. This is bryce. I got a job for you, two people, it has to be done by the morning. They killed two cops, a couple of squarehead gangsters in queens. The whole city is shutting down. I need you to get there first. What is their name . Michael and jimmy common. laughter you want the job or not . Common. Ill kill that bleep for free. Jon welcome back to the program, common. cheers and applause jon young man, please please, have a seat. Thank you. Jon how are you . How you doing, jon . Jon im doing so well. But you, the ride you are on right now, the performance that you and john did at the oscars just remarkable. It was such a beautiful thing. Thank you. Jon how did it feel in the theater . It was a wonderful feeling. It felt spiritual. It felt like we were able to we wanted to represent selma and that movement and the song glory, we wanted to represent it on a high level, and we felt great about the way people responded. Jon they responded amazingly. This movie coming out, the 50th anniversary of selma, and all the occasions, does it bring you closer to those events of history . Do you feel more connected to it, more part of it, spend, time with guys like john lewis and reenacting those types of things . Yes. You know, i knew about the history, but being able to be an actor in it and now with so much education on it and get to meet john lewis and ambassador andrew young and diane nash, and some names that were unknown but we got to meet the people. It was like wow, we are connected to the movie. I felt like selma the film is an extension of what they created during that time period. That film is educating younger people of what happened people that didnt know. And its also raising the conversation of where we are right now. And, obviously, all these situation happening in america is raising the conversation. Jon you mean that racism is over. Year its over. Yeah. Jon yeah. Is that what it is . laughter thats what we call it. Jon what it is, we just happened to catch the last the last one of it on an iphone. Thats all. Just thats the last thats the end of it. Credits go right there. Jon the young boys went o the bus went you know what, racism is over. But lets do the last one. Do you want to be the last . That was the last song for racism. We hope so. Jon yeah, no. It must be odd what i always find interesting is there is the movement now to take the injuries and the bitterness of racism and return them to white people its dominant culture the majority culture. Theres a real angeruc real vein of anger like, hey, man i didnt have slaves. No no. Theyre not talking about it. Its a power structure. My thing now is, hey we all know theres been some bad history in our country, we know that racism exists. Im like saying hey yall im extending a hand and i hope i think a lot of the generations and different cultures are saying hey, we want to get past this. Weve been bullied, weve been beat down, but we dont at the present time anymore. And were not extending a fist. Were not saying hey you did us wrong. Its more like saying im extending my hand in love. Lets forget about the past as much as we can and move from there. How can we help each ferg . Can you try thowps because were going to help ourselves, too. Thats really where we are right now. cheers and applause jon and i think thats exactly right. I think the defensiveness from the majority culture is the part i think all it would take in that instance is acknowledgment of that hand, of that injury, and to say look, i may not feel necessarily a part of that, but i get it. Yeah. Jon and thats the way to move forward. But thats why i feel its very important for us like me as a black man, im not sitting there like, hey, white people, you all did us wrong. I mean, we be that that existed. I dont even have to keep bringing that up. Its like being in a relationship and continuing to bring up the persons issues. Now im saying, hey i love you. Lets move past this. Come on baby lets get past it. cheers and applause i kind of like that. So youre saying america could be healed by and tell me if im putting words in your mouth maybe an incense candle, lower the lights, a little barry white music, and lets get it on. Lets get it on. laughter . Jon i appreciate that. And the movie, by the way, you if from selma to trying to kill liam neeson . Yeah, its a great transition, man, i must say. And the movie run all night is incredible. Its a great experience for me but its really a great like, film, as far as just, like one of those classic gainster films that has a relationship to the story. And it made me think of, like, French Connection and dog day afternoon, with a lot of action. And liam neeson, me and him going toe to toe. And, of course, he kick my ass a little, i kick his ass a little but it works out. Jon my favorite part is to go in an actor from one year of nonviolent protest to, i will kill that bleep for free.
