Trevor Noah on being "Born a Crime," 2016 campaign

- Trevor Noah became host of "The Daily Show" right as the 2016 election campaign began to take off. Nearly a week after Donald Trump's victory, the comedian is not shy about how he is coping with the results. Noah joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his new book, "Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood," and the election results.
"When you're an outsider, you're always working to see different people's points of view. Because the world is never yours...you don't exist in a space where you ever see yourself as the be-all and end-all, and that was one of the greatest gifts I got ." fucking deep.
To those who argue "they should respect the laws of the land!" Suck it! The laws that affected Trevor are unjust and unethical.
Angel, ITA but it did give us Trevor as we know him and that's awesome!
Angel He's talking about South Africa not the USA. Why don't you and he go there and change the country for the better. You Liberals are full of Crap!
Ken McD white ppl messed up Africa y don't you go there and fix what your ancestors did everything that's wrong with it. Apartheid is here in the USA others on the outside see it but not you
It's not Donald Trump's fault he was born a crime. If anything Hillary hasn't made it not a crime in 30 years of politics. Trevor is more racist than any one on TV today, implying black people don't get nominated when they are often nominated. Blacks are a minority so they are a smaller %of us population so in turn would have a smaller % of nomination. which in reality is higher % than the population %. This over popular racist is always pushing racism agenda in America.
***** not racism blacks just perform better. Can't win an award in a sport when you ain't putting up numbers. Blacks break records perform better it is what it is. In movies we might get nominated but we don't win when clearly some movies are better than others.
That is a beautiful man.
hello he looks like a ninja turtle with a bad sunburn
I'd play with both heads.
wardkdouglas You wished you looked half as good
serious *triggered*
He can suck a golf ball through a garden hose, too.
My twin sons that I have with my husband, who is a Black Man, look exactly like Trevor and they asked me when they were younger "mommy, are we mulattos?" I told them that they were not, but that they were human beings!
Do not scroll down! Save yourself from hate!
You don't own me. You can't tell me what to do. You're not my real dad.
Thank you. I was about to comment about how poignant and well spoken he is, and he's funny too! Too bad I had it all wrong.
Farhana Begum hate? More like stage 4 cancer with a side of aids. It's a complete shitshow everywhere.
Farhana Begum best advice
Farhana Begum I will take your advice. wish I had seen it earlier : (
I like Trevor Noah, he's doing a great job on the daily show and last week, watching his show live during the election results, I was glad I was watching him and not some news show.
Mein Kampf I didn't realise Trevor was a candidate....
Yes. I never watched the Daily Show ever. But when I saw his stand up last year I wanted to know more. Now... can't get enough of this guy.
Well he is about to get canceled by Viacom. A lesson he never learned from Stewart: you never let your bias alienate half the country.
Oh wow. That's terrible. Best of luck to him.
There is no news about "The Daily Show" or Trevor Noah being cancelled. Unless D.E. Sarcarean is literally a Viacom executive with an inside scoop (In which case on behalf of TH-cam, its members and every take down notice ever, I would like to give you a hearty kick in the balls) then he's trolling.
Why the fuck do people say America is a Democracy we're a fuckin Representative Republic.
representative republic lead by DEMOCRATICALLY elected officials. That's why.
Sad isn't it. They don't understand why the founders wanted a republic rather than a pure democracy so they don't see whey it should remain a republic.
Gucci Fag Excuse me? The American government has been using the excuse of "democracy " to support rebels and prevent other nations to finish their civil wars for decades! Taiwan issue, Korea Issue, Iran issue, the whole fucked up Middle East and now u want to be recognized as representative republic? You called yourself the most democratic country in the world, the "light house " for the humanity and now you want be practical and technical and drop that ideology bullshit？
You are a Republican Idiocracy
We're an Oligarchy. Get used to it. Once the nature of celebrity and way too much money became an integral part of the election process, the word "representative" is reserved for a very few people.
I don't belive we "have to" give Trump a chance. The Repbulicans stated in a loud voice that they would block Pre Obama at every turn.
its not a chance because of blind optimism its a chance out of pragmatism, hes hear it sucks but lets just try to keep this intact if not some what running.
Trevor has been a Corporate Neoliberal fuck like Hillary and her corrupt friends all along.
blackout07maroon And Trump is a wonderfull busines man?!?
Bill Loveless when they go low you go high.
Bill Loveless the funny thing is there is no way to block republicans now since they have control of everything. Btw those riots are dumb. Those people need to be burned alive
I love Trevor.
Noah is a Bold person not afraid to speak whats on his mind the way he thinks clearly shows the struggles he had were real
Funny how they rushed over "it's funny how the majority of America/People don't feel the need to vote"
sickandloose they do have a limited time to talk. they probably had a commercial break or another story they needed to cover
I noticed that they weren't expecting a answer like that from Trevor
He makes a very important point. One of the "Portland Rioters" was interviewed and said a bunch of parroty stuff that we've been listening to since the "election". Then this person admitted that she didn't vote. I feel the same way about Paul Ryan. Now that Trump was elected, he's playing with Trump balls and sucking up like Chris Christie. The whole pile of shit makes me want to puke. Even if you add an additional 60 million votes for the undecided and/or don't feel like voting, the total of approximately 180 million people is only 50% of our population. Pathetic. Even more so when the post-election conversation is all "he said/she said" "and/if/but/in hindsight". I'm going to sit back and enjoy the next 4 years and watch total fucking idiots try to make decisions while the rest of the world burns up.
brikrantz1 of you have it all figured out, why not run yourself?
Peter Cho I don't want to do that to my family. Thanks for the thought.
So frigging handsome! The proof that mixing of "races" produces beautiful human beings!
Trevor has been a Corporate Neoliberal fuck like Hillary and her corrupt friends all along.
Gabrial Logan someone is rascist
Sylph S i agree. May be you should marry another race and make beautiful babies :). No wonder rebecca bunch likes to watch filipino jewish babies, hayley steinfeld is pretty
blackout07maroon It's called being a decent human being. But you wouldn't know...
lol gabrial deleted his comment, he said that he was discussing like all other sht skins, what a fking rascist
When I was born in New Orleans when being gay was a crime. I, too, was born against the law.
unanimous300 u are adopted and thats not illegal 😑
Benzie Smith knowing Trump I wouldn't be surprised if it is in 4 years 😥
***** lol sure I'll move in with my sister
+Lynn Bouwkamp What has Trump said to make you think he is against gay marriage?
Jake Morrison he is supporting and involved in a branch of people who have the tendency to be against gays
Trevor for 2020! He's got my vote!
Sure, the guy who has pretty much bashed the Daily Show to its lowest rating ever? You must be South African - used to seeing underqualified people being hired to fill up a quota system. He won't be on the daily show much longer. Probably why he's writing a book - and playing the only card people who are second-rate qualified can - the race one.
He's ineligible. He wasn't born in the U.S. and to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong), neither of his parents are Americans.
What the fuck is wrong with you morons? You understand Muruwamb is joking, right?
OMYGOSH ITS BABY TREVOR HES SO CUTE AND PRECIOUS
Why is he defending Hillary? I respect the man but Jesus you don't need to defend someone like Hillary Clinton.....
One word: Viacom
Ch M oh nooooo someone you like doesn't have the same exact views as you, noooooooooo.
TangoAlphaDelta please dont tell me you're saying the number one reason she lost was because America is sexist and racist and all the buzzwords the left says..
Brilliant rebuttal mate simply brilliant......
TangoAlphaDelta you have to stop watching TYT. that shit rots your mind.
this guy is very intelligent !!
more like aware or eyes peeled to the facts than intelligent.
Phakamani Samukelo LMAO TREVOR NOAH IS INTELLIGENT??? 😂
He's a genius
Phakamani Samukelo It's genius that he can keep a straight face while spewing so much propaganda.
Resistance is *not* futile.
Remember that Trump represents a minority of Americans. Check the current popular vote totals.
Rob S California and NY do not represent the rest of the country. Also, check how many non citizen votes have been casted.
Did he end up getting the popular vote as well? Haven't seen anything official. Just some twitter buzz...
TRAILERSPOT That is absolute and unmitigated *bullshit*. There are *no* "non citizen" votes for anyone to "check", because no such votes were ever *cast*.
The popular vote favoured Clinton to the tune of 1.5 million votes.
Kaycee K it is the basis of our democracy - to resist to object- our country was founded by British traitors
Only %19 of us voted?! What the fuck is wrong with us? I wonder what percentage seen suicide squad? God help us all.
John Milton 120m votes - 330m people quarter cant vote so half voted
Bart Sloot Since his job and livelihood depends on him being well informed, I'm just going to assume he ment eligible voters.
If it was Bernie and not Hillary it would have been way bigger.
John Milton 330million peeps, about a quarter of that are too young to vote (children). (82.5 million odd). 247 million eligible to vote. 118 odd did. leaves 129 that haven't voted. Of that around 59 million voted for Trump. So about 47% (eligible) of America voted. South Africa sits around 61% (for comparison) I'm unsure if that's representative of the world, but South Africa is definitely not as developed as America and they get near 15% more of their population to vote. And like 80% of south Africa's population lives in undeveloped settlements, so that's quite a feat and really casts a bad light on America since you wonder what the other 129 million people's excuses were. If people who live miles from the nearest city (with no cars) can get off their asses and vote.
+Chad Boswell You don't know that, as an atheist Sanders may have had a much harder time getting the latino vote. As an old white man he may have had a much harder time getting the women's vote.
As an African in America, Trevor you makes me proud. Thank you!!!
Suleiman Sabo go back to Africa if you feel so special.
TRAILERSPOT, as soon as you return to Europe.
TRAILERSPOT shut the fuck up you piece of shit
+Suleiman Sabo
We all gladly decline your offer as we see no benefits in giving this man refuge
Kind regards, the people of Europe
Why? He's barely African. He's mostly Jewish.
Trevor is magnificent. I bet his Mama is proud she raised such a lovely young man who has so much love and respect for her.❤
Can we all just stop and acknowledge what a cute kid he was?
Love Trevor.
Being biracial myself, I love to hear the perspective of other people like myself from around the world. It is good to have a different perspective to see things through.
Austin T Media you are basically a mutt.
TRAILERSPOT I'm basically the same as everyone else then.
TRAILERSPOT says the white supremacist.
Austin T Media don't bother will him. TrailerSpot is basically a troll
Chris Ramirez
He isn't a troll. Stop rubbing him off as one. It's obvious this dude believes the things he says IRL. Stop thinking there's no white supremacists in this world anymore when there is. And there's way more than you think there are.
my mom was just like that, her dad was an American soldier and left when the war was over. she was treated terribly for it. even disowned by her Own mother. her aunt and uncle took her in but it was bad.
I love how mostly everyone in the comments is translating this to "Fuck white people". Even though this said nothing of it
I hope that the world sees south africa through people like trevor and mandela
It's really nice to heard implicit bias mentioned on tv. Never thought I would.
And yet they kind of brushed over it and failed to explain it.
Would you care to explain it please?
using the races card & identity politics means you have no real arguments & you just lost any credibility you have left
Jackhammer88 well that's libtards who don't know how to think. the real challengers who can compete with trumps bullshit don't need to use the "race card". i'm not going to get into it but if you think he's actually going to "drain the swamp" then idk what to tell you. things aren't going to change. but atleast that would be better than what killary potentially had in store for us. i'm guessing.
Agreed. I would expect a self-proclaimed outsider looking in to be more skeptical and fact based in his analysis.
as a mixed kid with a black mom i can relate to this guy on so many levels, not knowing my white father, having been in very bad situations without water or power, ive been homeless countless times. difference is i live in america and i was born in 98
ouch. i wish you great things moving forward.
2:24 okay, that is adorable
It's kinda odd to see Trevor on a show where he talks politics so much and has to deliver jokes written by a team of writers, because he's way funnier outside of the Daily Show. His stand up is amazing, and is way more popular outside of the US because of it. I heard about him from a UK comedy show long before he took over Jon Stewart's position, and he really stood out.
Tom SDM yeah I like his stand up don't enjoy the daily show
Trevor is about as funny as dead kittens (he isn't)
the fact that you had to explain your own analogy says how much you know about comedy. irrelevant
+azroni yo That logic makes 0 sense. People liked your comment merely because they disagree with OP.
seasonal.lawnchairs nope, makes perfect sense. maybe it's just you.
+azroni yo Someone's ability and willingness to explain something is directly correlated to their understanding of comedy? So are you saying all comedians are lazy dumb fucks?
seasonal.lawnchairs I dont find a person who has to explain their own passive- aggressive joke qualified to judge trevors (or anybody's) comedy or sense of humour. simple as that.
On a lighter note, I have a massive crush on this beautiful man. Peace
"I did not burn the house down, but I may have been involved..." dead lmbo
Just pre ordered his book!!! He's so inspiring!
I love it when the haters in the comments only prove his message 😆
Why do you think Trevor likes to downplay the fact that he identifies as Jewish and not black?
I stopped watching the Daily Show because of their lack of coverage on Bernie Sanders. They REFUSED to talk about him, and when they couldn't ignore him any longer because of his massive following they specifically told their voterbase to pick Hillary. You can watch the endorsement on their channel. Disgusting. This was back before the primaries when they actually could've helped. Instead they acted like the DNC and put forward this loser, and now he whines about Trump. Part of the problem
I can imagine the powers that be in society recognizing his power and offering him a position as a pioneer for woman's rights, as long as he downplays his male African heritage. Stand strong, my brother. #alllives
Ok, let me correct Trevor on his math real quick. First of all, he said that "Most of America doesn't feel the need to vote". I'm not sure that he realizes that not everyone can vote. The entire U.S. population is approximately 325 million, however, the Voting Age Population (people actually of legal age to vote), is only around 251 million. Then you have to shave a few million more people off that list, because some adults are not legally allowed to vote either, such as prisoners and those whom are on parole/probation (unless they've been out for 2 or more years). That would then give you the Voting Eligible Population, which again, is at least a couple million less people than the VAP population, but let's just stick with 251 million to give the benefit of doubt. Anyhow, so far, some 128 million people have voted in this election (for either Trump, Hillary, Gary Johnson and otherwise), and there's still millions of ballots to count. Even so, 128 million is 51% of the entire VAP, so it in fact can't be said that "Most people" didn't vote, when over half of the eligible population did. Concerning his "19%" comment, he's once again doing a percentage of the ENTIRE population of the U.S. (61 million Trump votes is 19% of our 320 million population), but it's absurd to count a portion of the population (in which some are babies/toddlers), when making a statement on what the American people want. A more accurate estimate would be to find out what percentage of people voted for Trump out of the 251 million people who can actually vote, which is over 24% (almost 1/4 of all eligible voters). I will concede that nearly half of all eligible people didn't vote, but that's most likely because people are tired of their votes not counting because of this stupid electoral college bullshit (and this is why Hillary got more votes and yet still lost).
Math all you want, half of eligible Americans still didn't vote as you said, that doesn't change the fact 100 million people didn't vote. That's still a significant amount of people who know how things would have gone if only 25 million more people voted. if that was your main take away or gripe that's a pretty petty and insignificant one at that.
If you read one book this year *cough, light-weights, cough* read this one -- it's timely, important, and you owe it to your fellow man to acknowledge the reality of someone else's life.
what a beautiful human being. very observant and articulate on what he sees.
stacy b he's a braindead liberal
Jordan wendt and you're brainwashed radical conservative, go back to your can
Trevor is so charismatic I love him. You can tell hes trying to hold back from exploding when they ask him about Trump.
hannah cox WoW! So brave. It must be hard being paid millions of dollars to vent your shitty political opinions on Comedy Central. BRAVE
CrossBorderFire did i offend you, downie?
Is this guy hugely intelligent for a comedian, or are comedians hugely intelligent but just find it hard to show?
Laughing at how the lady anchors totally lose it over his cute baby pictures! (4:12)
Trevor, you are awesome!!!!
Trevor if I don't laugh at your snark is that proof I'm racist ? How about you make South Africa great again and return there.
Someone here is bitter....
"I'm not racist! Why don'tcha go back to Africa?!!"
Henry Wilson, explaining what a contradiction is.
Henry Wilson No... no one said you were racist for not liking Democrat ideas... but it is racist to tell someone to go back to Africa. That's textbook stereotypical racism. Not even actual racists are that hackneyed nowadays.
That's not a contradiction. People constantly come from worse places and then lecture America on how bad she is. It would be like me immigrating to Japan and then lecturing the Japanese on their country. How about staying in my home country and working to fix it?
Thank you GF. And as a matter of fact, please do a search on Japanese Prime minister Yasuhiro Nakasone from back in 1988. He was not aware of the new phenomena of political correctness and issued an apology for telling the bare naked truth. Meanwhile many in America went , yes we know that.
Trevor Noah: The Affirmative Action Comedian
This is a profound story. Can't wait to read it! We're a nation that are raised by women!
Why 4 dislikes?
No idea..
Because people can't stand Trevor.
Because some people can't face reality.
trumpees
True legend! making SA so so proud !
So glad this guy is on the daily show
His mom is beautiful
I've got to have that book. It sounds interesting. 💜
Thank you Trevor
great book, i recommend it
Trevor I didn't think you could be more cuter but then I just saw your baby pictures. lol
You will resist you always resist it matters not. Trump is President and we will protect him with our lives libertati aut ad mortem!
Umm, no. if Trump's life depended on my flipping a life switch, I'd leave him in the dark.
Is that still on? Thought it was cancelled.
Noah who did you vote for....oh I just remembered you can't vote so why interfere inter America s election...I did like your show but your anti trump propaganda drove me insane..are you a hater of Trump or did your station insist you hate trump....so sad
He lives here and his a immigrant.Every immigrant had an opinion on the election.
skylan Natural ..you mean to say "he is" OK let's move on ..should people on holiday in the USA also vote because they are there ...no it's an American election I don't like people interfering ..especially ones who think their jobs depend on it for months Noah has been going on and on ..the media should be some what neutral and by the way I think I might have voted Sanders but the corrupt dnc put a end to that
skylan Natural ps America influences the world with the foreign policies.
Love this foreign stranger giving us the lesson of how our democracy should work!
I think the word is PERSONAL OPINION which your country's laws and your democracy teach you to respect. :)
he said it: 19% of the people have made their voice heard. Americans don't feel the need to vote.
hence here we are, bottom of the cesspool, digging deeper all the time.
Amazing story.
I would have been interested in this book but seeing how everything he does is warped through the identity politics lens I can't imagine there will be anything of actual value there.
ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE
Trevor is so cute!!😍
He's very intelligent
50% of America didn't vote likely bc they couldn't make it in time. 12 states don't do early voting, some people work multiple jobs or long shifts, etc. I know the reason voting on Tuesday was started but, much like Daylight savings time, it's no longer needed. Voting really needs to be made a national holiday or moved to the weekend. Once that happens the numbers would likely go up
We have had freedom for more than 22 years here in South Africa already.. This guy is stuck in the past..
The poverty and discrimination that the majority of the country still face today, is not "freedom."
Ho _bbit Who's fault is that? The African National Congress? They discrimate against their own people.
***** Trevor is a Multi Millionaire!, he isn't free?
Everyone is writing a book about their life, maybe its time I write mine.
I am with him....I live being an outsider as well....it's the best life.
Trevor Noah is Smart and Funny... I love the Daily Show....
Hey Trevor, "get over it!"
Hillary Clinton on apartheid:
“I mean for goodness’ sake, this is the 21st century. You know, we got to get over what happened 50, 100, 200 years ago and let’s make money for everybody. That’s the best way to try to create some new energy and some new growth in Africa.”
***** I can not post links in yt without getting autohidden. Try searching the exact quote on google.
Dallas Dallas 😒Dude fyi apartheid was a South African history, the whole of Africa was not involved and it only officially ended 22yrs ago not 50 or 100 or 200...
And being born aswell as growing up in oppression, is different from reading about in history books. It's apart of him its what made him what he is today.
So let the guy tell his story of success... And have a nice day
Sipho Kwayina Sorry bro. He found his 'success' by bending the knee to Viacom and the establishment.
If he can shake the yoke, he will get respect back.
Sipho Kwayina ps - Clinton WAS talking about SA. Not sure what your point was with the abridged history. I already know.
Dallas Then I must have read your comment incorrectly, I read it as you said "That Trevor should get over apartheid"
I apologize 😊
The US Elections Project estimates that 131.7 million Americans cast a ballot in 2016, out of 231 million eligible voters - a turnout rate of 56.9 percent. This is still just a preliminary estimate, and states are still finalizing tallies, so check back for updates. But if those numbers hold, that’s a slightly lower turnout rate than 2012.
"America is that beacon, is that lighthouse" WTF, it hasn't been that for many years !
Is comedy act is crime against comedy. He together with the rest of the media helped get Trump elected So the joke is on him really
john lewis to be fair, he dogged Hilary just as much. If you had the same experiences as him and countless other minorities, it wouldn't be as easy for you to over look the countless ignorant things that Trump said and encouraged...
+Jp 39 Though a chunk of the material he's put out on the Daily Show is worse than Trump's crazy comments.
The baby pictures are sooooo cute! Gimme those cheeks!
Trevor is AMAZING.....
Remarkably beautiful
We the people, by people, I mean the sane people who embraces everyone and their differences, no matter where they came from, have concluded that Trevor Noah will stay here in America as long as he wants to. To all the trumplicans, your tyranny will not affect his character or force him to leave. He is one of us now. All you will ever be to him is a troll. An internet troll.
Love this man
If you live outside the USA, don't come here on holiday, it's not a pretty place.
"if I have to say that in my head, it must be a problem"... yep there is no possibility that your assumptions are wrong at all
The fact that he has to say that if Hillary Clinton was a man makes it a huge problem because it confirms that issue that America has with sex, and how a lot of men have this fear about their manhood......
The true adjective definition of being 'an illegal'. B=Not as it's used in America today to describe someone who's undocumented.
If there is an "invisible monster" that you can't quite pin down, and it's holding you back... chances are it is not real. It's imaginary, and you have to break the chains of your own imagined demons.
Nope.
Oh the people pinned down by the monster of implicit bias can see it, it's the people riding on it's back that can't, mostly because they aren't looking.
I love how they totally skip over that most people didn't bother to vote.
I can't even imagine the racist stuff he had to go through & still come out on top.Africa for Africans ✌
He is special!
Trevor, america had changed you, you used to joke about how you grew up and said it wasn't that bad, now he's making it so serious
Love u Trevor
Viewership down 40% since john stewart left, show in danger of being cancelled...yep its time to bring out the race card.
Trevor is very smart and creative... but sometimes his jokes show how he's a bit out of step with American culture and he's harder to relate to.
world doesnt revolve around america
azroni yo, that goes without saying. It was just a critique, reflecting an observation. This critique may explain why some people don't like him or appreciate his humor/satire.
James Newton they dont like him cuz americans dont like to hear the truth about themselves. you dont like to know what world thinks about you cuz it hurts your ego. america needs to chill with the "we+re the shit" attitude.
azroni yo, why are you making any assumptions about me. My ego isn't hurt by a comedian's joke/delivery/bias; and I don't think America is better than any other country. You can comment and assume things about me, but I can't comment on/critique Trevor? I think Trevor is pretty great, but he's not perfect. Why are you so defensive and rude?
James Newton when i said "Your ego" i didnt mean your ego personally.why would i ? i dont know you. i spoke generally about americans. outsiders see more then you..i didnt even mean to be rude.lol
oh well
0:45 *Enter fake laugh here*
Uni B this manufactured GMO media,
hey that's really edgy stuff! You have a comedian taking on the most powerful fascist in the country! We should be applauding his bravery and hilarity!
Come onnn. Why do we have to make it into a race/gender thing?
Because Trevor Noah "makes it into a race thing" every single night on his tv show. You aren't supposed to claim African Americans can be racist but this man has displayed distaste for white people time and time again.
Aslan because it is. Ignoring the problem doesn't fix it
You don't fix it by participating in it either.
The thing I can never decide on this guy is rather he has been made a bigot or insightful all be it in a bias way from his back ground. The USA is not South Africa, and he claims alot of South Africa that just is not here. Basically he is looking for problems he lived with rather than what is. If you have ever had any iteration with South Africans, particularly white ones: you know why he feels and things how he do. But, as stated this is the USA not South Africa. So he sees alot, but he also has a strong bias
And that makes u wise.
The beacon is fading.
shout out to Trevor you have all our support all the way here in SA. Come back fam America is fucked
I know what it is like to be born a crime - and a sin. Luckily for me not in America, so I'm still able to keep my sense of humour :)
19% of people turned out? Math is not your strong subject is it my man?
