You are getting a white person to play the greatest black pop star of all time. And the worst thing is, its not even like the best white actor. Joseph fiennes . laughter i mean, if at least it was, like, meryl streep, we would be like, yeah, but shes dope, shes dope. But Joseph Fiennes, the guy who played shakespeare. Thats, like, the whitest guy in history. Why are you rubbing salt in the wound, white people . And the excuses they make, makes it even worse. The decision has raised eyebrows from those both confused and upset by the casting. In case youre wondering, Joseph Fiennes is white, even though jackson was black at one point. Trevor im sorry, he was black at one point. That is not how being black works. Just because your outside appearance changes, doesnt mean your d. N. A. Does. Yeah, you cant say was black at one point. Does anyone say, the situation used to be white . No, they dont say that. Just because hes orange now, doesnt mean hes not white anymore. Thats not how it works. applause im sorry, look, i get it, i get it. I know hes got a cool brother but this isnt going to work. You cant play michael jackson. Do they think they can throw a wig on him and add sun glasses and think theyre going to put on a prosthetic nose, and fit him with a qaddafi jacket and suddenly hell be michael. Because hes not hes not laughter okay, this wasnt a good example. But the point is, the point is, oscars so white. Lets move on. Get that that undermined me. Go away. Get that off. Speaking of a guy who is always talking to the man in the mirror, donald trump. cheers and applause now, you clapped and booed at the same time. Boo boo when the president ial race kicked off, trump and republican senator ted cruz were like ambrosias finger in kanye wests butt hole. cheers and applause im a big fan of donald trump. Ted cruz is a friend of mine and a good guy. I like donald trump. Hes bold, hes brash. Well, it is a little bit of a romance. I like him. He likes me. Trevor geez, you two, get a room. Yeah, just not this room, please. Any other room. Any other room. cheers and applause the journey from b. F. F. To frenemy began for these two when cruz started to challenge donald trump in the polls. And now with five days before the iowa caucus, its turning into an allout war. Donald is a fragile soul. Cruz, who is a nasty guy who cant get along with anybody. If youre afraid of megyn kelly, youre going to be afraid of vladimir putin. Senators dont like him. The people he works with dont like him. Trevor oh, ease up, guys. Youre both horrible. laughter applause you need a you need on save some of that energy, save some of that energy for hating mexicans and muslims. Come on usually in campaigns, the top candidates draw supporters from inside their party, you know. But this is whats happening in this campaign. Its strange. Because some republicans arent saying that they like ted cruz. Theyre just saying that they hate donald trump. And other republicans arent saying they like donald trump. Theyre just saying they hate ted cruz. For example, ted cruz, anyone who has ever worked with ted cruz or lived with ted cruz or met ted cruz does not like ted cruz. The wall street journal ran a scathing article against chris by calling him a phony. Of bob dole called ted cruz an extremist upon corrin hatch, dan coates, and john cornyn saying a cruz presidency would be detrimental to the country. And those are his friends. laughter everybody hates cruz. Its so bad, that when the pope visited congress, he was there, like, peace be with you. Peace be with you. Peace oh, ted. Go to hell, bleep . And peace be with you. And peace be with you. applause now, on the other side of the coin laughter conservative thought leaders like rick perry, glenn beck, and the National Review, well, they just hate donald trump. Trump is not a committed conservative. Donald trump, i really truly, believe is a very dangerous man. The National Review came out against trump featuring 22 conservative voices. They wrote, donald trump is a menace to american conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot. Trevor made it sound like conservatism is going to be like grapes they got 22 negative essays about trump in one magazine. Thats good. Cosmopolitan cant even fit that many mindblowing sex moves in one magazine. They top out at 21. And technically two are the same thing, just different hands. I feel bad for the republicans, having to pick between these two. All the other candidates are so far below them it, doesnt seem like anyone has a choice. Donald trump and ted cruz continue to dominate the g. O. P. Race. The establishment is not happy with the two frontrunners. Having to choose between being shot or poisoned. They think they can kill cruz and think, well, we can kill trump later. Trevor this is almost like a political game of bleep marry, kill. Its just theres no marry. You just kill one and get bleep by the other. For more, we turn to our panelists, senior political analyst Jordan Klepper and hasan minhaj, everybody gentlemen, thank you so much for joining me. So the big question is, who would you rather have as president , donald trump or ted cruz . Trump is worse. Hes a loose cannon, no idea when hell go off or what hell destroy. I gotta disagree with you, jordan. Cruz is pure evil. In his first 30 days he would systematically destroy everything we hold dear. I think trump is less that. I disagree, hasan. Ted cruz will eventually destroy the country, no doubt. But for me, having donald trump in the white house in the white house is like living with a blood clot at any moment he could break loose and kill you instantly. Or a blood clot might never kill you but cruz is like bone cancer, 100 fatal. At least with cancer,un its coming. Thats the up side to a cruz presidency. Well all be able to get our affairs in order just before our inevitable death. I hadnt thought of that, thats a good point. Cruz 2016. Trevor so, hasan, you now agree that trump is the worse of the two . Jordan is right, trump is too unpredictable. You cant give a guy like that nuclear weapons. Yeah, president ted cruz is definitely dponna nuke somebody but at least we know it will be another country. Trump laughter trump might nuke america because some guy in idaho made fun of him in a tweet. laughter . At least ted cruz has some core principles. Gl hasan you say principles. Although, given what those principles are hairtrigger government shutdowns, Climate Change denial. Well, okay, that is a good point. Trulz does represent the very worst of humanity. He is the reason i have yet to bring a child into this world. laughter . Ted cruz is a political vasectomy. So trump 2016 you know what, im actually changing my mind again because trump is like the joker pure chaos. At least, you know, cruz is focused and methodical. So cruz is more like buffalo bill from silence of the lambs. Oh, yeah. Plus hes know cruz tucks his penis between his legs. Im going to change back. I say trump 2016. Trevor im sorry, guys, youre all over the place. Sohasan you would put donald jumped trump in charge of the u. S. Military. No i wouldnt trust trump with sharp objects. If he came over my house for steak, i would make him use a spoon. Trevor hasan, thats unrealistic. He wouldnt come to your house because he hates prown people. Trumps right brown people make terrible steaks. Trevor jordan, jordan, thats not the point. I thinkings that the point. Trevor where do you get that stereotype. Stereotypes come from some place. Thats not the point. I make great steaks. I make amazing steaks. Trevor guys, please, just answer the question cruz or trump, which republican candidate is marginally less awful . Personally, im for bone cancer. laughter trevor so youre picking ted cruz. No, i want to get actual bone cancer. laughter he makes a great point. I hope to perish before the election as well. Trevor i guess that makes sense. Jordan klepper and hasan minhaj, everyone. cheers and applause those who define sophistication stand out. Those who dare to redefine it stand apart.

You know, with the Iowa Caucuses set for next monday, the midwest is buried under more political ads than new york was under the snow, and here to break down the latest campaign spots is our own roy wood, jr. In advertisement tonight. You usually sit at the desk. Trevor and now im here. Trevor, political ads can be tricky so im here to break down the message behind the ads. And we all know the key to any Political Campaign is powerful endorsements from wellknown public figures, like 2008 obama had oprah. 2012 mom had papa john. Trevor very powerful. So now marco rubio is showcasing his latest endorsement in this new ad. Over the past few years, people have tried to sell us some real dudes, but this is worth something. When people see for themselves i dont have to convince them its a good investment so when this guy walked into my shop i knew it was the real deal. Its time for a president who will stand up to runaway government. Trust me, i know a good investment when i see one. Trevor i love this. Thats the pawn stars guy. He helps thousands of americans are get the things they need like watches and guns and money for drugs. I think thats a soiled endorsement. Trevor, rubio getting this guys endorsement isnt exactly an exclusive club. Trust me, you only need one blade. Thats why i use the new micro touch one. Trust me, are you going to love this razor. Hes basically saying marco rubio is the same as a mailorder razor. Rubios using this ad to connect to idiot who will believe anything. Trevor but, roy, its one blade laughter . My point exactly. Trevor, lets turn to the democratic side. Heres an ad that Bernie Sanders put out thats been getting a ton of attention. Well marry our fortunes together ive got some real estate here in my bag. Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike. Theyve all come to look for america. Im Bernie Sanders, and i approved this message. Trevor what message. I dont understand. What message . Did i missomething . laughter you didnt see the message . You gotta read between the lines. Trevor the lines . Its just people doing errands. Its all farm stuff. Yeah, its a commercial for iowaa. Thats what they do out there, farm stuff. Trevor if the ad is for iowans why does it say america. This ad isnt for everyone . Trevor, it doesnt matter. Its all in the music. Like, if bernie wanted to win votes with Senior Citizens in florida hell do this. Thank you for being a friend travel down the road and back again. Your heart is true youre a pal and a confidant and if you threw a party trevor man, i loved the golden girls. I used to watch that all the time. Trevor who is your favorite golden girls. Dorothy. And blanche, those legs id wear them out, man laughter the dvds, id wear out the dvds, watching them a whole lot over and over again. I got all the seasons at the crib, man. Trevor anyway, roy, man. Okay. Regardless of that, bernie still needs to attract minorities. Bernies got them covered, too. Too. Im black yall and im blacker than black. And im black yall and im black yall. And im blacker than black, yall. Yall. cheers and applause trevor all right, that is dope. Bernie got me with that one. Bernie got me with that one. I respect you for that. That was good, that was good, yeah. Seriously, you never wanted to bang one of the golden girls . Its just me. Im the only one. Trevor well be right back.

His latest article appears in the new issue. Please welcome ryan lizza. cheers and applause thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Thats the first time anyone has applauded for a political journalist all campaign. Trevor we love political journalists. You guys are amazing. You, obviously, havent been to trump rallies. Trevor i actually have. You know what, now that you brought it up, lets go straight into it. First of all, fascinating article in the new yorker. You started showing up at trump rallies. Yeah, i was sent out there. Trevor i like how you clarified that, yeah, i was sent out there. This was not my choice. I got paid to do it. Year, hes got these things every week, and theyre sort of their own little world. I mean, after a while they feel like grateful dead shows of the right. You know what i mean . Like the people who watch them on youtube all the time, they kind of know the lines. They know the things that trumps going to do. Trevor are you being serious . Oh, im serious. Theres a call and response. Like trump will say, whos going to build the wall . And the crowd will yell, mexico trevor that was so infectious. I was in it. Yeah, like, thats a line. Hes got this hardcore base that, you know, knows all of the sort the set pieces hes going to do. Trevor that is so fascinating. Do people go from rally to rally . Or do they go to one rally . Is this a cult filling one stadium, or is trump really bringing people out from every place . When i was in New Hampshire there were people i had talked to that had been to more than one rally already. It wasnt just their first time seeing him. Thats common in New Hampshire because in New Hampshire youre used to seeing the candidates all the time. Trevor so like a hobby that they have. Theyre professional voters in a sense, right. But his people are you know, theyre diehard. They go if they dont go to the rallies, they watch them on youtube and they know the lines. You know, they know the equivalent of trevor some of the lines that you talk about are fascinating. In the arm you talk about how he calls journalists scumbags and so, theres explain that scene because it seemed like you were saying all the journalists have to sit together in, like, a pen. Yeah. Trevor and all the people boo them. Yeah. So theres sort of one moment at every trump rally where he points to the press in this which is contained in a steel pep, like barricades like you see at the thanksgiving day parade. Trevor is that for your protection . You know, its we joke about it but, you know, there are some there are some reporters that have actually discussed whether they needed to bring security along. Trevor wow. Nobody has done this, but i had some discussions with reporters who were actually talking with their bosses back in washington that is it getting so weird we have to bring security . That hasnt happened and trump has toned it down a little bit. He turns to the crowd, and point at us, the press, and calls us usually scums or sleazebags and one of the journalists covering him for months said to me, yeah, its the same term he uses for isis terrorists. And so then the crowd turns and, like, boos and stuff. Trevor people turn to you and they boo. You know, believe it or not, especially on the right, theres not a lot of love for the media in this country. And you feel it at a trump rally. Trevor how did we get to this point . Donald trump and truz seem to be running away with the race, and the republican establishment doesnt seem happy with this. This is not what they planned. This is not what they planned. And i think you know, there are all sorts of reasons. I think it starts with the issue that he seized on in the beginning, where theres the biggest difference between the republican establishment and its grass roots and that is immigration, right. Once hoe started pounding that issue he had this sort of natural base of republicans who are very frustrated with the party, most which have wants a comprehensive immigration reform, right, and has been trying to push it through congress for the last decade. I think that gets him an in. The second thing is its been trump versus 10 guys you 97 heard of, except bush, and if you heard of bush you probably dont like him trevor we feel bad for him. Its not that we dont like him. And trump has been able to dominate the airwaves in a way that no other candidate ever has. Its like 100 to 1, the coverage of trump. Trevor with that, do you think theress a point that will come where the r. N. C. Steps in . Do the republicans say, were going to shut trump down at all costs . Or do they at some point accept he may be their nominee. Six months ago i thought that was the case. People were predicting theres no way trump can win this thing. You cant actual he take over a party that doesnt want you. laughter but we have seen right, the Party Leadership doesnt want him. Literally, its a fascinating phenomenon. This is a hostile takeover of the republican party. He doesnt have one elected official in congress or a governor that is saying you know, that is endorsing him, right. So totally new in american politics. Trevor do you think that means he could all the way . I do now. Trevor wow. Youre just like, i do now. I try trevor i wasnt a believer, but i am now. You know, theres no circuit breaker. The r. N. C. Theres no rules in the buried in the book that says, oh, okay, if someone like donald trump is about to win our nomination trevor in case of emergency, break glass. That doesnt exist. Its a democratic system. It doesnt dnt used to be that but they changed in the 70s. In the old days you got together in the back room and pick whoever you want. And now the people decide and, you know,. laughter . Trevor that spoke so many volumes about the people. The people ah, the people. Were going to have to end this here.

And welcome back to the woolstein center at Cleveland State university in cleveland, ohio, as we continue with tonights debate between senator Hillary Rodham clinton and senator barack obama. Once again, i am brian williams, your moderator tonight, with questions from my colleague nbc News Washington bureau chief tim russert. If youre just joining us, the first segment of tonights debate, all three hours and 40 minutes of it, was entirely given over to a discussion of healthcare. And sweet georgia brown, it was more boring than you could possibly imagine. A vitally important issue, to be sure, but when this one here gets to talking about it, its all a person can do to keep the mind alive. Ill be honest, brian, i blanked out for most of it
