Christine Lagarde applauding Trevor explaining the glass cliff is a whole mood :)
@@newsupdates3622 Yep it's definitely "commies" preaching hatred and xenophobia and alienating completely harmless people from the privilege of living a decent life. Sure.
Commies? Are u really serious?
@@newsupdates3622 Glass cliff is a very real thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff "Commies" recasting themselves as "post-modernists" is not.
News updates By this definition, Trump is running as a commie.
@@newsupdates3622 …aah spotted the Jordan Peterson Fanboy
Wish Trevor brings in more people from diverse fields like this....very promising 🙌
He actually does
A convicted fraudster in Legarde. Yeah, that's really what we need.
She's the perfect liar and covers for all the crap banksters big corps do through the IMF, her being invited just show how they own everything and every show have to approve their lies... the world is going completely sideways and still everyone applause and smile in front of that. wake up your brain people!!
@@Afterbang77 everyone knows IMF is a great bully, the point made was that it's promising to see my favourite talkshow host bringing in people from fields other than celebrities in entertainment/sports/US politics😌
He just needs to be more critical, that was more like an infomercial this time.. The show producers are "clever" into not showing the bad side of IMF!
"We need adults in the room" ... Who could she have possibly meant?
CGTN's Liu Xin said the same thing, but she was referring to Trump. Wait a minute... did she just call Trump a baby?
It's a witty expression she has been using for years (see Yanis Varoufakis's book 'Adults in the Room').
@Yong Zhou ....whether he's her boss or not....speak the truth!!! He acts like a spoiled ass brat!!
@@jayelove1504 you really would call your boss a "spoiled ass brat". i guess that would be your last words in the company.
@@jayelove1504 easy for you to say
Trevor is the best interviewer. Sharp, funny, present, and honestly interested in the person across the desk from him. Thank you, Jon Stewart, for your eminently wise choice. ❤😊
Very true
And his looks are icing on the cake.. beauty and brains 💕💕
Yeah, and ignorant haha. The IMF does NOT help countries, it makes countries sucumb! Just read about the economic situation Greece is going through. And the IMF has made things even worse! I am overwhelmed by Trevor's ignorance and , what's worse, by his followers' comments!!
He failed to ask her about the 240 MILLONS euros she wasted as french french state secretary.
All his questions were lowballs... IMF are no saints, they "introduce" so called "western values" to ruin countries.
Hey Trevor, for someone who comes from Africa that was the perfect moment to ask her about the relationship between IMF and African countries.
THE OUTLOOK he’s a servant.
He has to keep light. He can’t talk about her court trial where she was found guilty of negligence and oh yeah-no penalty or jail time given to her lol I do give Trevor credit for bringing people like her out of the shadows and into the mainstream, as a springboard for those who want to know more about the Troika.
Mme Lagarde sees the IMF fighting inequalities? She is one to talk. For decades the IMF was beset with neoliberal doctrines and did everything it could to any country receiving aid to impose those neoliberal politics on them. It forced those countries to open up and all but the strongest in society were fair game. The IMF created inequality on a massive scale starting in Chile after 1973.
Yes, they were feared and loathed all over the developiing world. Their policies was massively harmful in the 1980s and 1990s. IMF austerity measures whiped out decades of developmental progress in education and health in African countries and created political instability. As far as I know, Legarde did a lot to reform the IMF so that it contains a greater diversity of economic thinking today than it did before. Trevor should have questioned her on this.
was scrolling down to find some criticism, thank you. IMF puts countries in crippling debt. This Lagarde is excellent at pr but facts are facts
Chilean inequality has fuck all to do with the IMF lmao. The IMF has been instrumental in reducing poverty around the whole world, there's a reason why the number of people in poverty has gone down from roughly 55% in the 50s to to around 10% now. You can't grow an economy when you limit yourself off to the world or don't have an independent central bank, the IMF has been instrumental in creating both of those conditions around the world
You do realize that Chile is the richest and the most prosperous country in South America right? Despite the complete lack of naturali resources too. IMF did great in Chile. Learn some economics and history
@@clumsiii BS. IMF has been a boon to my home country India. In fact, India started growing only in 1991 when IMF forced us to liberalize our economy. IMF is awesome
Came to see Trevor and instead got engrossed in the conversation. Good convos👏🏻👏🏻
I LOVE your avatar!!! :)
Great interview as always. Madam Lagarde is a legend
@Paul B You're just going to keep spamming every comment with this?
@Paul B A. It is the textbook definition of spam and B. It's not, "you're easily duped" isn't an objective statement.
@Paul B I mean, the IMF isn't just a pile of money that anyone can take from whenever they want. When they loan someone money, they need to make sure it isn't misused and the country doesn't relapse and draw more money.
Hey Trevor, I would have appreciated it if this interview were harder hitting. The IMF and its history are very controversial, and by ignoring this in your interview you perpetuate a political side to the debate.
Americans are pure capitalistic people. So much they consider liberals as leftists (lol), so it is not surprising that even this Trevor Noah support this organization...
@Fanta Graham wahahaha. Wall Street is leftist? I am dying of laughter here. Thanks for the daily dose of laugh.
Thanks for bringing this up. If I hadn't found your comment, I would have made similar points. It's disheartening to see she is recommending the same old 'technical' solutions to the problem.
Really, true! This organition is keeping devoloping countries much poor, because they tell you what they want you to do with the money they are giving you!
I agree, but I think Trevor was under the spell of Mrs Lagarde, which I understand : she is without a doubt as a very bright person with a sharp and charming sense of communication.
"Economic Equity...", those words should not be associated with this organisation.
Please Enlighten me, Im seriously curious as to why you say that!
Leo Rob Their intervention is just a way to invade countries in a legal way. They “help” then try to implement their own political views on others’ nation. I respect all the countries that have managed to be free from their control.
@@Miss_Ebin I mean if you have billions invested trying to restart that country in the right direction wouldnt it be expected to try to recieve some tips or ways to better manage your economy so the same thing doesnt happen again? Not being sarcastic or anything btw!
@@Miss_Ebin It would be great if developing countries as they call them could sustain themselves using their vast resources free from corruption and not be slaves to foreign debt
Leo Rob I can understand that, and it’s totally normal. But everything it’s black or white. There are too many cases where their influence was based on more than some tips.
Remember a quote from Chris Abani’s mom: she famously used to say:
Whatever a man can do, I can fix ;)

“We need to fix the roads for women who walk for water so that they can get water quicker”. Really? How about finding a way to have water at homes like people in western countries have.
Funny for any French person to hear Lagarde, a hard conservative minister of economy when she was in Sarkozy's government in France, talk about reducing inequalities and fighting climate change... Such hipocrisy! This interview was soft AF!
I was also very disappointed he didn't ask the right questions. The IMF has brought every country down that called them in with its recipes for crisis and extreme measurements in order to pay their debt. Argentina is suffering them again now. Guess who always pays the debt: the poor.
Alejandra Román I agree with you but Her being on that platform says a Lot. Trevor is interviewing her with his hands tied and mind controlled. Thats how powerful they are. But for anyone that knows her past in France. She’s a fraud and phony liar regarding the real role of the IMF
Any time the IMF bumps into my sight, Denis Healey's words about the 2b UK loan from the IMF which crippled the then Labour government, induced the Winter Discontent and paved the way for Thatcher's electoral victories, reverberate. Unelected bodies such IMF should keep their hands off every country's financial decisions.
Because Democrats (the American "left") don’t care for inequalities, but they care for "empowering women" and all that BS... They hate socialism, and I can guarantee the one they will elect against Donald Trump won’t be someone like Bernie Sanders, but a neoliberal capitalist instead like Biden or Harris...
It’s sort of like how En Marche could pass as "neither left nor right" because they were economic neoliberals, but they also appropriated useless leftist societal issues for themselves (like "inclusive writing" : "nous sommes honoré.e.s", "celles et ceux", ....) as if THAT would change anything ffs...
The real left is dead in western countries, because it has no political outcomes, and is powerless to change the system within the system. The big corporations have too much power now. We need a revolution.
🌎🌍🌏
The world doesn’t go round without revolutions.
@@loufresco2180 Being French I agree with you on the economic side of the left having lost their value, but being a woman I don't think we should be sad at the societal positive actions of governments, they don't necessarily go hand in hand (afterall most socialists and Marxists were also feminists, like Tolstoy, Sartre but also Marx themselves) which is why I am sad for one, happy for the other and I don't put them in the same basket.
A lot were also vegetarian/vegan like Tolstoy aswell but that's another story
Interesting interview, but Lagarde is part of the problem. IMF handled the Greek situation terribly. They are still recovering
No, the Greeks handled the situation wrong. The IMF worked the exact same way with Portugal and it worked.
The lazy, tax-evading Greeks can count themselves lucky Germany, the EU, and the IMF came to the rescue, otherwise they'd have been thrown back to the middle ages in terms of quality of life.
@@TheUrbanEpicure Last time I checked, I and everyone I know here in Greece (who is lucky to have a job) work 12 and 14 workdays/6days a week and get paid for 8hr shifts averaging 500Euros monthly salaries. But yes you are right, we are too lazy!!!
@@giorgiontanas8618 Well, you lot HAVE to work these kind of hours now to make ends meet after your lazy, tax-evading parents' and grandparents' generations ran your country into the ground - you can thank them for your current misery. That is what you get for living beyond your means for decades.
@@TheUrbanEpicure You're rude, uneducated and wrong. Go read a book.
Please, for the next time investigate how the IMF is doing in Argentina. It should change the scope of the questions.
The continuous monetary crisis in Argentina can not be blamed on the IMF. It is caused by corruption and stupidity and never learning from its own mistakes.
@@janvanveelen Yeah, I agree with you. But c'mon ¿How they let a government like "Cambiemos" take that amount of debt? In the best of the cases they use the money just to be re-elected, because the majority of the loan is just dolars going out of the country in private accounts ¿Why they don't check how the infrastructure of the country is just going down, how the government doesn't invest in that, and in fact they don't even care? ¿Why they support a government totally against the principles she talked in the interview? It's just wrong.
janvanveelen Do more investigation. IMF ‘s role in Argentina was dubious. Policies crippling local Farmers. What good can come out of that?
Got fuckin' chills when I saw Christine Lagarde was on the show! Did not disappoint.
The Only french without an accent
Thank you Mr Noah for not only making us laugh but also making us ponder
grammalee2012 Mr Noah 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! He is a gift.
Julie Sloane that’s right !
IMF doesnt help countrys they just see thier own interest
@Method Man they do, they are the a last resort for countries unable to acquire any other loans. The requirements being financial reform and proper fiscal and monetary policy. Economics 101.
There is a large body of professional technical research going back 50 years, showing that the IMF "advice" has favoured global elites rather than the countries burdened with loans whose terms do not favour them. Christine Lagarde previously was France's Minister of Finance and as such was implicated in a case in which an MOF settlement was found to be too favourable to a French oligarch. She was able to escape that predicament by taking the IMF post.
You must read the gutter press or you are deliberately mis-interpreting facts. Go back to read the proper facts.
@raserianfald The facts have to be proven true first before you ask for proof to the contrary.
@@janvanveelen Dunce.....
kinda surreal hearing the head of the neoliberal IMF talking about income inequality.

So much respect for this woman.
The IMF was bailing out BANKS in Greece.
When he described the idea of the glass cliff, I could not help but think of Theresa May, who was elected at the beginning of Brexit.
Yes indeed ! She is the perfect example ! From the beggining it was clear that she was elected to clear all the dirt and make place for Boris afterwards ...
Wow - this is great. Trevor knows what he is talking about and Lagarde is so refreshing direct, intelligent and humble.
Beautiful words beautiful speech but the reality is something else
Exactly!
Can't believe you of all people are praising someone from the IMF Trevor. Must be nice not having your whole future in jeopardy because of this lady's polices.
Many people here bashing the IMF, but not that many people reminding others that she is shady AF. She was involved in the biggest public funds scandal in recent French history.
According to her version of history countries decided not to kill each other. But I think each other didn't include third world countries that's why they destroyed Libya, Syria and sham.
She’s the head of our bank now!!! I’m so Happy and proud !! EU will be stronger with women in power 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Exactly! I'm excited to have her back in Europe
Yessss 100 % true! ❤️🇪🇺❤️
Because these neoliberal assholes cared about europeans...
Wtf. If you know anything about politics or proper climate change reduction, you would know that she is not our friend but that of the banks and the neoliberal agenda.
oh yes, do you know that she's been condemned in France? We are ruled by scammers
Trevor is a genius. You're smart and sincere about to see some real change in the world.🔥🔥🔥
She is absolutely right on! I'm a US citizen who lives in a social democracy in Europe and I can tell you that it's much better than the rampant free market capitalism of the US. She's French and believe me she knows what she's talking about. Education, health care and social justice are far superior than in the US. Sanders and Warren have different styles but they both get it.
Greece problem was like family overspent with credit card on luxurious food and useless luxury item. Then the finance adviser suggested cutting those overpriced item but instead accused "control". Another problem is the kids made believe by their parents that life will be misery if no more cavier and Gucci. IMF can loan money but it can't fix your personal family problem.
Ape uninformed pleb

I'm impressed too. I love the fact that she displays so much charisma in a very feminine way.
I find the emphasis on social priorities unpleasantly inconsistent with the dire outcomes of IMF's intervention in Greece.
She's talking social justice out of one side of her mouth and austerity out of the other. Her gender is simply being used as a poker chip to pinkwash the IMF and their cronies.
The only thing IMF did in Greece was forcing it to abide by the same rules as everybody else, forcing it to stop the humongous fraud it has been perpetrating for more than a decade. Cry me a river...
@@Posiman I see your point and I do not claim that Greece had been "innocent" as a State. But it was the weakest citizens who paid the heaviest price. This is the inconsistency I see in Ms. Lagarde's speech. Why mention social issues as a priority when they clearly were not?
@@Posiman Oh and theres the german brainwashed average pleb... Crazy hpwany dumb people are out there believing artificial realities they havent experienced.

Trevor's reaction at the mention of SA being "shaved off" was classic. Thank you @The Daily Show for another awesome episode.

@@nataschavisser573 he knows but he sold out
I'm a bit surprised that Trevor never spoke about how IMF kept Africa poor for 60 years with racist loans to African countries where they charged 10 times the interest rates on loans to African countries than they did to other countries in the world. The Interests rates crippled African economies because they had to pay money to the IMF instead of investing in their own countries so the IMF were profiteering off the poverty in Africa. It took Bin Ladin to change things because George Bush and Tony Blair were so spooked by the terrorism after 9/11 that they were worried that there would be an African Bin Ladin if Africans discovered they were being kept poor by the IMF and western powers. So they ordered the IMF to cancel the racist loans to African nations in 2004 and since then Africa has the fastest growing economies in the world and the biggest rise in living standards now that African nations can invest their national resources into their own countries rather super high interest rates to the IMF. It is very disgusting how the IMF knew they were crippling African countries and did nothing to change this until the US and UK ordered them to stop profiteering of African poverty.
It is a yankee television show, they can't be too progresive you know. Its so funny how they think they are progresive yet they think that Hilary Clinto and Obama are on the left, just because they support gay marriage yet they are still the same imperialist pig that are on the far right

Wow. I'm totally impressed. Trevor had the IMF managing director on his show. And the exchange was stimulating. He interviews important, powerful guests better than journalists do!
Emma Thompson should play her in a movie...
Fighting each other wasn't the way it should go so we established this entity to give loans to other members of the club who aren't doing so well in order to get get them stuck in debt and struggling to pay only the huge interests so we can eventually be able to gain full control over their resources and political decisions .. that's basically what we do
Dear Trevor, it's just a delight to have you in my life. As far as you have presented, i share the same views. The intelligent humor mixed with lighter humor is awesome and I think it reaches a wide audience. Great respect and much success from Germany.
IMF number one cause of austerity.
Startling that the IMF is doing public outreach like this... wonder what they are *really* worried about at this time, and whether we should be worried.

I thank Trevor Noah and the Daily Show for having this guest and look forward to info on the upcoming summit mentioned.
Hi Trevor and team
You should have asked Mrs. Lagarde about what's known in France as "l'Affaire Tapie - Credit Lyonnais". As a finance minister of France, she decided to give Mr. Bernard Tapie in excess of ... wait for it, more than 420 millions euros in compensation because the state has, allegedly, hurt his business interest. Instead of rejecting the arbitration and going to courts, she just signed the check and hand it over. She was called later before a special court (set up for ministers) and got away with a tap on the wrist (she was already head of the IMF). The courts later on ruled that Mr. Tapie had to return the money. Not thanks to Mrs. Lagarde.
As someone who had absolutely no idea that IMF existed, I appreciate this and everyone commenting on this. It's started a conversation. I am now more aware of the world outside of mine. So thank you Trevor and everyone else for shedding light on this!
When i read the hunger games, this is what i assumed President Coin looked like
"We're the bank and we're here to help." Why don't I buy that?
I love what she says about addressing inequality but I have a distrust of the IMF in general. I pray she is sincere & effective.
Christine Lagarde 👍 I am a fan! ❤️
*He didn't ask her* :
1) What other tools can Trump use other than tarrifs?!!! US was asking for a long time for CCP to stop cheating on trade!!!
2) How would automation and UBI play into the local and global economy picture?!!
🤔 ....yes, please; more macroeconomics.
Read John Perkins and you'll se IMF in a different light.
Yeah, also the US Government, multinational banks, big corporations and the World Bank.
Fabulous, informative, intelligent - wow thank you Trevor and especially Christine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conversation with her ans emma thompson together would be great!! They already look so alike!!
Those who will suffer MOST from tarriffs are the poor consumers who have no choice but to buy the cheap goods - and pay the tarriffs as well as suffer the result of poor quality merchandise.
How perfectly Republican.
Thanks, Trevor & The Daily Show!!!!!!
My gosh why isn’t madam lagarde on more American television?

There is more to the IMF than the eyes can see. African interest will not be served by the IMF. Africa has cast their lot with China, they understand Africa. IMF cannot and will not alleviate poverty in poor countries. Their policies make it impossible for low-income countries to escape the circle of poverty. All she is saying now is a facade.
IMF gives loans, NOT handouts!!!
They expect reform to pay the loan back.
It's not that easy to get a loan from IMF!!!!

@@MK-fk4kp with all due respect, do better research. Every nation has corrupt politicians including where you are now. There must be a reason why African nations are running away from this smooth talking lady. The simple answer is AUSTERITY MEASURES. Take a loan from IMF and for the next few years they will tell you which laws to pass in your sovereign nation, how to apportion your budget as they see fit etc. China gives loans too, they dont interfere with your politics. All they want is to improve your infrastructure and make their money as well. The truth is that there is a brighter future with China than accepting the Greek gifts of the IMF. With China you know they want ab initio.
@The Godfather However bad you think the IMF is, China is ten times worse. They'll give you a billion dollar loan but your country's treasury won't see even a penny of that money. Half of it goes to the project and the other half is split between the Chinese contractors and your politicians. And the project is carried out using Chinese labour for which you pay triple the top global rate, all materials and equipment from China and they structure the deal so that they run the resultant project for decades till they get their money back with interest at a rate that is MUCH MUCH higher than anything the IMF would charge. The real reason African countries presidents have 'cast their lot with China' is coz they Chinese have no qualms wiring 250 million dollars to their personal accounts.
@@MK-fk4kp so what is China stealing exactly? Oohh it's was okay for western countries to demand for african recourses without batting an eye but now that China is buying the same resources
David McCreadie Is your claim based on mere objective facts or just some biased reports? Data source?
As much as I love how skilled and nuanced an interviewer that Trevor Noah is, i find it rather depressing and disheartening to see a comedian conducting such interviews. You do an incredible job, Mr. Noah; it's just a shame the people who should be doing this, would rather focus on the inane and bumbling ramblings of the orange buffoon in the White House.
@Trevornoah - I really enjoy the interviews. You select very interesting guests and you ask the questions that I would like to hear answered. Keep it up. Jon Stewart made a good choice.
A rare interview with Madam Lagarde👍
So ur really Big Time now, Trevor. What's the Repay to the IMF for their assistance?
The guests and their quality on Trevor's show really make me happy. I really enjoy what Trevor and his team are doing!
The glass cliff is a great way to describe so many situations 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done
Who would have thought Trevor was such a good interviewer regarding economic topics?
Great interview!
"When the situation is bad, you call the woman!" EPIC EUROPEAN PRESIDENT. 🇪🇺❤️
World is such in a bad shape that late night shows need to take serious topic to educate people: a good collateral effect if you ask me.
IMF is world biggest loan shark
Unfortunately, what a lot of ppl don’t realize is that, the gender pay gap is affected by both the fact that many more women work part-time as men, and, individual salary negotiation, meaning men are more aggressive in negotiating their salaries. Only because a person will ask for a higher salary for a particular position, does not mean that the company will automatically pay that negotiated amount to the next person for the same position.
I am not saying there is no systemic gender pay gap that requires attention, but you also have to factor in these two points when analyzing absolute numbers.
He mentions IMF I immediately thought of conspiracy theories about lending money.
@Paul B like the paper bonds with no actual value?? 😱😱😱
@Paul B Hahahhaha
This lady is wearing a beautiful jade bangle
loved her reaction to glass cliff!!
Holy shit, its Christine Lagarde.
Just google her name in combination with Adidas or Bernard Tapie.
If only Trevor brought Madea to the daily show😂😂
I’d LOVE to see her on the show. She’s a national treasure.
What a badass and impressive person! Accepting such responsibility and managing it so nobly. Thank you Christine, keep it up!
And thank you Trevor for bringing such awesome people on the show!
I can listen to her talk all day, I haven't heard this type of discourse since the 2016 election.
We need adults in the room!😊
live from Maldives
Thx to maintain the relation with France after that incident last year:)!
Love your émission from France❤️
Holy Fuck! Christian Lagarde in the room! This has gotta be the coolest thing Daily Show has done.
I understood her job better in these 10mn that in many other, more extensive interviews...
