Channel: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

[0]
that's right the supreme court has
[2]
officially overturned roe v wade and
[5]
look i i know we expected it because the
[7]
decision was leaked back in may but that
[9]
doesn't make it any better you know it's
[12]
kind of like when as a kid you're acting
[14]
up in the grocery store and your mom
[15]
would tell you oh i'm gonna whip your
[16]
ass when we get home
[18]
yeah you weren't like oh sweet i'm glad
[19]
she told me first that'd soften the blow
[23]
because in some ways it almost made it
[24]
worse right we got to dread the day and
[27]
now that day is here
[28]
and honestly it's kind of surreal for 50
[31]
years 50 years women in america have had
[35]
a constitutional right to an abortion
[37]
and now just like that the supreme court
[40]
has decided that it's finished
[41]
and by the way the constitution didn't
[43]
change right nicholas cage didn't find a
[46]
lost passage inside of a pyramid
[48]
somewhere
[49]
the only thing that changed is that
[50]
donald trump of all people managed to
[52]
appoint three pro-life justices to the
[54]
supreme court judges who by the way went
[57]
on and on in their confirmation hearings
[59]
about how much they respect the
[61]
important precedent of roe versus wade
[64]
and we all knew they were full of [聽__聽]
[66]
too huh
[68]
because i mean that's the same line you
[69]
use whenever you book an airbnb i would
[71]
never throw a party
[73]
heart party party am i even saying that
[76]
right part hey
[78]
by the way there's a hot tub in this
[79]
house yeah
[82]
it seems like the only people on the
[83]
planet who didn't realize what was
[84]
happening with joe manchin and susan
[86]
collins who now say that they were
[88]
tricked tricked i tell you by these
[91]
judges
[92]
and by the way why does susan collins
[93]
never get tricked into improving health
[95]
care or solving climate change huh yeah
[97]
she's never like oh damn it i
[98]
accidentally canceled student loan debt
[100]
get it together susan
[104]
and if the overturning wasn't bad enough
[106]
justice q and himself clarence thomas
[108]
wrote
[109]
that he wants the court to reconsider
[112]
the rights to gay marriage
[114]
gay sex and contraception
[117]
yeah imagine that this dude is so
[119]
extreme he's talking about banning
[121]
rights i didn't even realize could be
[122]
banned he's going to be reading the
[124]
newspaper like justice thomas wants to
[126]
ban the right to engage in nipple play
[128]
what
[130]
like at some point you're not even a
[131]
judge anymore you're just a [聽__聽] block
[132]
in a fancy road that's all you are
[136]
you're hating on everybody else
[140]
and by the way by the way the one ruling
[143]
clarence thomas doesn't want to overturn
[145]
and all the others that he mentioned is
[146]
the right to interracial marriage yeah
[149]
which is a coincidence because he
[151]
happens to be in an interracial marriage
[154]
yeah i guess apparently if something
[155]
affects clarence thomas personally he's
[157]
okay with it makes me think if we could
[158]
just somehow get him impregnated by like
[161]
a gay man all of our problems would be
[162]
solved
[164]
and by the way that's just a joke i know
[166]
there's some right-wing pundits who's
[167]
gonna be like is trevor noah threatening
[168]
to sodomize an the supreme court justice
[170]
is that what he's doing
[171]
there are people standing outside his
[172]
house right now with a penis is that
[173]
what he's doing no it's a joke calm down
[177]
now
[178]
despite the supreme court ruling to
[180]
overturn roe v wade that doesn't mean
[182]
people in america want abortion outlawed
[184]
and the reaction the reaction to
[186]
friday's ruling showed just how out of
[188]
step the supreme court actually is
[191]
from los angeles to cleveland
[196]
[Applause]
[197]
and huntsville alabama
[200]
americans took to the streets nationwide
[203]
over the weekend the protests largely
[205]
peaceful gatherings once again outside
[207]
the justices d.c area homes friday and
[209]
stretching from coast to coast today
[212]
thousands of pro-abortion rights
[213]
activists jammed new york city traffic
[216]
for hours others blocking a los angeles
[218]
freeway this decision
[220]
is an outrage this decision is
[223]
absolutely terrifying but more than
[224]
anything it just makes me angry yeah
[226]
that's right from new york to new mexico
[229]
millions around the country are furious
[231]
and rightfully so because women in
[234]
america just lost control over their own
[237]
bodies
[238]
which i don't care who you are is a
[240]
horrifying thing to be faced with i mean
[243]
rudy giuliani called the cops because
[244]
someone touched his back without
[246]
permission
[247]
imagine if someone forced him to give
[249]
birth huh
[250]
i mean someone would have to have sex
[251]
with him first but you get the point
[254]
you understand what i'm saying
[259]
and after half a century of having that
[261]
right it's now being taken away which is
[263]
especially crazy when you consider that
[266]
countries like mexico and ireland are
[269]
moving forward in the opposite direction
[272]
you do realize how weird that is right
[274]
ireland has had violent conflicts
[275]
between christians and other christians
[278]
and even they are looking at america
[279]
like don't you think you're taking it a
[281]
wee bit too far with the jesus stuff
[283]
it's a little bit too crazy don't you
[284]
think
[286]
so the supreme court is shutting
[287]
everything down people are rising up in
[288]
the streets and the democrats well they
[290]
responded in a way that only the
[292]
democrats can democrats are already
[294]
looking to november they have
[296]
fundraising emails going out in response
[298]
to this decision they have a new website
[301]
up speaker nancy pelosi looked downcast
[303]
when she began her press conference i am
[306]
personally overwhelmed by this decision
[310]
from time to time i quote
[314]
this poem i have no other country even
[316]
though my land is burning michigan
[318]
congressman andy levin tweeted a photo
[320]
of himself in a yoga pose saying quote
[323]
in a moment of intense anger i turn
[325]
inward let us release toxicity
[331]
[Applause]
[334]
i feel like that's the perfect yoga pose
[336]
for democratic leadership
[339]
very little action and your head is
[341]
basically up your own ass
[343]
because i don't know if anybody voted
[346]
for the performative aspect
[348]
people just want things done
[350]
right no one cares about kente cloths or
[353]
singing on the capitol steps and
[355]
especially not poetry
[357]
right i feel like any moment now chuck
[359]
schumer is going to throw in a fake
[360]
pregnant belly and just take a knee in
[362]
the capital be like we are all pregnant
[364]
now and we're standing together
[367]
why do democrats do this
[369]
why do they do this not once have i seen
[371]
mitch mcconnell come out and sing a song
[372]
about how overwhelmed he is he just gets
[375]
things done he never comes out like oh
[377]
nobody knows the trouble i've seen
[380]
no
[382]
every time he used his power to make a
[385]
new rule in fact that presidents can't
[387]
appoint judges if it's an election year
[389]
and they're black well i didn't make
[390]
them black that was just bad
[393]
in fact watching the democrats response
[395]
and knowing knowing that they had
[396]
multiple opportunities to get ahead of
[398]
this
[399]
it made me think maybe voters should
[400]
change things up you know maybe you
[402]
should do a new thing in america instead
[403]
of fundraising emails maybe you should
[405]
do fun rewarding emails right yeah make
[408]
the democrats show you what they've done
[410]
and then you donate to their cause
[412]
instead of being like donate we'll do
[413]
something and then they don't what are
[415]
they doing
[419]
it's the same
[420]
reason it's the same reason i don't pay
[423]
my barber before he does the job
[425]
yeah he'll get his money after i see
[427]
what he does with my hairline i'm not
[429]
making that mistake again
[432]
and now please
[433]
don't get me wrong don't get me wrong
[435]
i'm not saying the democrats are doing
[437]
nothing in response to this ruling the
[439]
biden administration has said that it
[440]
would fight any attempt to restrict
[442]
access to abortion polls regardless of
[444]
state laws and they'll protect people
[446]
who travel out of state to get a legal
[448]
abortion plus the senate's judiciary
[451]
committee
[452]
says that they're going to hold a
[453]
hearing next month to explore its
[456]
options
[457]
yeah
[459]
yeah so they're coming through with both
[460]
too little and too late very nice very
[463]
nice
[464]
the full range
[467]
oh and and in case
[469]
and in case you're wondering what
[470]
republican lawmakers think of telling
[472]
women what they should do with their own
[474]
bodies well
[475]
they're celebrating the win of small
[477]
government over the people
[479]
cheers from anti-abortion rights
[481]
advocates some celebrating the decision
[483]
they've been working toward for decades
[489]
over the weekend president trump took a
[491]
victory lap on his conservative court
[493]
appointments at a rally with republican
[495]
house member mary miller who made these
[498]
controversial comments
[499]
i want to thank you for the historic
[502]
victory for why life in the supreme
[505]
court yesterday
[508]
a utah state legislator is under fire
[510]
for her remarks defending utah's new
[512]
abortion ban and my response is i do
[515]
trust women enough to control when they
[517]
allow a man to ejaculate
[519]
so inside of them and to control that
[522]
intake of semen
[525]
i'm sorry i'm sorry did she say women
[528]
should control their intake of semen
[532]
how by by turning the little tap that's
[534]
on the top of the penis
[536]
is like turning that
[538]
ah that's enough i don't want to get too
[540]
pregnant ah
[544]
that other woman with trump that was
[545]
even worse
[547]
she literally thanked trump for saving
[549]
white life
[551]
and
[552]
to be fair to be fair she later said
[554]
that she misspoke
[556]
and meant to say right to life
[560]
but okay here's the thing even if she
[562]
misspoke
[564]
she still just kept on talking without
[565]
fixing it
[566]
it's like she heard herself call it a
[568]
victory for white life and thought
[570]
yeah that sounds like something i would
[571]
say yeah let's stick with that
[574]
what's even worse is that the trump
[575]
supporters applauded her
[577]
even if we give her the benefit of the
[578]
doubt the reaction from the crowd is
[581]
pretty telling right i mean it's one
[583]
thing for a person to accidentally rip a
[585]
fart in an elevator
[587]
but it's way worse if everyone else in
[588]
the elevator goes
[590]
oh yeah yeah that's the good stuff
[593]
yeah we like that
[594]
we like that a lot
[598]
so yeah
[601]
pro-lifers are feeling pretty good right
[602]
now but if you think
[604]
that roe being dead is the end of the
[606]
story
[607]
and you think the right wingers are just
[608]
going to take their bibles and go home
[610]
think again
[611]
because they're saying that this is just
[613]
the beginning
[614]
some emboldened house republicans want
[616]
to take this one step further by pushing
[619]
legislation to ban abortion at 15 weeks
[622]
nationwide we know that
[624]
former vice president mike pence who
[625]
wants to run for president supports a
[627]
nationwide ban on abortion another big
[630]
question is over the abortion pill as
[632]
it's called some states may want to
[634]
target that medication in the states
[635]
that ban abortion it is illegal to get
[638]
those bills from a doctor and some
[640]
states are trying to go further and also
[642]
ban receiving the pills by mail from a
[645]
state where they're legal
[646]
yeah you see conservative extremists
[648]
aren't going to stop fighting just
[650]
because they got row overturned they
[652]
just won a huge victory why would they
[654]
quit now when the team scores a
[655]
touchdown they don't just walk off the
[657]
field congratulating each other you know
[658]
i mean the new york jets do but the rest
[660]
of the teams
[661]
they keep trying to run up the score
[664]
and that's what these people have their
[665]
sights set on
[666]
because first it was no late term
[669]
abortions oh okay fine seems reasonable
[671]
then it was no abortion after 23 weeks
[673]
then 15 weeks then six now zero
[676]
what's next well they're just gonna make
[678]
tiny little handcuffs to arrest every
[680]
sperm that didn't fertilize an egg is
[682]
that it'll be maybe next time you'll
[683]
think twice before ending up in a sock
[685]
instead of a vagina huh
[689]
and i know i know many people around the
[691]
country feel infuriated depressed and
[693]
like there's no hope but there is there
[696]
really is first of all there are many
[697]
organizations grassroots organizations
[700]
on the ground who have already been
[702]
helping women who couldn't get an
[703]
abortion because they lived in some of
[705]
these most extreme states so you can
[707]
donate to them or you can volunteer and
[708]
as for the democrats in power
[711]
there is something you can actually do
[714]
yeah here i actually wrote wrote you a
[717]
poem
[719]
roses are red
[721]
violets are blue the people voted so how
[723]
about doing your job and passing laws to
[725]
codify contraception marriage equality
[727]
and all the other rights the supreme
[728]
court has basically threatened to take
[729]
away and so are you
[734]
all right
[736]
time for us to take a quick break but
[739]
before we go let's catch up with our
[741]
very own desi lighting everybody
[747]
jesse
[748]
davie i know
[749]
you know i know normally we'd come to
[751]
you for for the weather right now but if
[753]
you don't want to talk about that today
[754]
i totally i totally understand oh no no
[756]
no trevor it's okay i'd actually love to
[757]
do the weather today
[759]
are you sure we really don't have to i
[761]
know i normally ask for it but this time
[763]
i'm fine no no no trust me there is a
[766]
lot going on in the weather that we need
[768]
to talk about and that is my choice
[770]
okay well um all right well what's going
[773]
on in the weather desi great well uh
[775]
trevor let's start off in this part of
[777]
the country with these red states
[780]
where you can expect a real [聽__聽] storm
[784]
we're looking at widespread power
[786]
outages as in your power to make your
[789]
own decisions so ladies you might want
[792]
to stock up on those raincoats before
[794]
justice alito bans them too
[797]
and for the men in this region this
[799]
storm affects you too now i hope you've
[801]
been saving up for a rainy day because
[803]
this one might last you 18 years longer
[807]
if you pay for college it was a fun
[809]
night though
[812]
now let's take a look at what's
[813]
happening along the coast particularly
[815]
in new york and california where there
[817]
is a powerful surge of desperate people
[821]
flooding into your states so blow up
[823]
those air mattresses and fill up that
[825]
gas tank because tammy from tulsa is
[828]
moving in
[830]
now and this is important let's take a
[832]
look at the nation's capital here's
[834]
where you're going to see a strong
[836]
downpour of unprecedented shitbaggery
[840]
we're seeing three separate natural
[843]
disasters converging to form what
[846]
meteorologists like to call a what the
[849]
nato
[851]
now first let's talk about congress
[853]
which is experiencing a severe drought
[856]
of leadership very
[858]
very dry conditions now over at the
[860]
white house they've been experiencing
[862]
some very high winds just completely
[865]
blowing it
[866]
but the real weather event is happening
[869]
over at the supreme court now our storm
[872]
centers have been tracking this for
[874]
years so we knew this acid rain was
[876]
coming but that doesn't mean it still
[879]
doesn't burn the hell out of our [聽__聽]
[882]
so
[883]
that's the weather back to you trevor
[891]
i think uh
[894]
thank you thank you very much desi but
[897]
clearly that wasn't about the weather i
[899]
am no no it wasn't sam alito and anyone
[902]
else who tells a woman what to do with
[904]
their own
[907]
body everyone
[912]
[Music]
[921]
you
