HIKE, OR LET ME ASK A WHITE PERSON THIS QUESTION.
( LAUGHTER )
SO IF YOU GOT LOST -- NO, I
MEAN, LIKE, THESE ARE
QUESTIONS -- COME ON, BLACK
PEOPLE, WHEN WAS THE LAST TAME
YOUHEAD A HIKING CONVERSATION?
EVERY TIME I SEE STORIES ABOUT
SOMEONE LOST IN THE WOODS.
I KNOW WHO THIS WAS.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A SITUATION
WHERE -- NO, NO.
I KNOW WHICH FRIENDS I WOULD
CALL IF THAT HAPPENED, LET'S BE
HONEST.
IF YOU WENT ON A HIKE AND GOT
LOST, WHAT WOULD YOU PROBABLY
DO?
YOU WOULD PROBABLY CALL SOMEONE
OR SOMETHING, RIGHT?
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
STORIES.
THERE WAS A GUY WHO WAS HIKING
AND GOT LOST IN THE WOODS FOR,
LIKE, 24 HOURS AND THEN HAD TO
BE RESCUED AND, TURNS OUT, WHEN
THEY RESCUED HIM, THEY HAD BEEN
CALLING HIM -- THE RESCUERS HAD
BEEN CALLING HIM, AND HE DIDN'T
ANSWER THE PHONE BECAUSE IT WAS
AN UNKNOWN CALLER.
THERE WERE TWO MAJOR THINGS I
WAS THINKING OF.
NUMBER ONE, THIS IS THE TIME
WHEN EVEN A TELEMARKETER IS
GOING TO HELP YOU IN YOUR LIFE.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
WHO ARE YOU OR HOW MUCH DEBT DO
YOU HAVE THAT YOUR PHONE IS
RINGING AND YOU'RE LIKE, PLEASE,
SOMEBODY --
( RINGING )
-- OOOH -- NO.
NO.
( LAUGHTER )
ALSO, WHAT NUMBER ARE YOU
WAITING FOR WHEN YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET RESCUED?
DOESN'T SAY RESCUER.
YOU HAVEN'T SAVED RESCUER IN
YOUR PHONE.
WHAT KIND OF AN IDIOT?
WHY WOULDN'T YOU ANSWER THE
PHONE?
THE MEANING OF WORDS, IF A
PERSON IS LIKE STRANDED, I DON'T
THINK THAT MEANS YOU HAVE A
PHONE THAT CAN RECEIVE CALLS.
YOU CAN'T BE STRANDED IF YOU
HAVE A PHONE THAT CAN RECEIVE
CALLS.
YOU'RE JUST TAKING SOME TIME
OUT.
BECAUSE IF YOUR PHONE CAN
RING -- TO ME, STRANDED MEAN
NOTHING IS WORKING, DO YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYING?
IF YOUR PHONE CAN RING, YOU'RE
NOT STRANDED.
IF YOU PHONE ME AND YOU'RE,
LIKE, HELP ME, YOU'RE FINE.
SEE YOU LATER.
I ONLY WORRY WHEN THE PHONE
DOESN'T RING.
HELLO, THIS IS TREVOR -- OH, NO!
THEN I STRESS.
MY FRIENDS KNOW.
ALSO YOU WERE HIKERRING.
ISN'T THAT WHY YOU WERE TRYING
TO DO?
WHY ELSE WOULD YOU GO OFFROAD
WHERE WE DON'T MAKE ROADS AND
PAVED THINGS.
YOU'VE ASKED FOR IT TO A CERTAIN
DEGREE.
YOU'VE SAID, I WISH TO INVOLVE A
WALK IN MY LIFE THAT COULD END
WITH ME NOT BEING FOUND.
THAT'S WHAT A HIKE IS
FUNDAMENTALLY.
IT'S PEOPLE SAYING I WISH TO GO
SOMEWHERE AND MAYBE NOT BE FOUND
EVER AGAIN.
I'M NOT SAYING SOMETHING BAD
SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
I'M SAYING THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE
CHOSEN TO DO.
THERE ARE MANY WALKS WHERE YOU
CAN'T -- LIKE IF YOU'RE WALKING
IN NEW YORK, I'M ON 50th, THEN
I'M LOST!
49th STREET, I KNOW WHERE I
AM.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M
SAYING?
THAT'S LITERALLY WHY WE WROTE
THE STREETS BECAUSE AT SOME
POINT SOMEONE SAID I DON'T KNOW
WHERE I AM.
LET'S GIVE THEM NAMES.
THEN SOMEONE SAYS I'M TIRED OF
THE NAMES, I WANT TO GO WHERE
THE STREETS HAVE NO NAMES.
THEN YOU GET WHAT YOU ASKED FOR.
THE JOYS OF HIKING.
>> COMING TO YOU FROM THE HEART
OF TIMES SQUARE, THE MOST
IMPORTANT PLACE ON EARTH, IT'S
"THE DAILY SHOW."
TONIGHT, Facebook LIKES THAT
YOU'RE ANGRY.
THE REAL REASON COPS PULLED YOU
OVER.
AND TAMRON HALL!
THIS IS "THE DAILY SHOW" WITH
TREVOR NOAH!
>> Trevor: HEY!
WHAT'S GOING ON, EVERYBODY?
WELCOME TO "THE DAILY SHOW," I'M
TREVOR NOAH, AND JOINING ME
TODAY IS MY GOOD MAN ROY WOOD,
JR.!
WHAT'S GOING ON, ROY?
>> HEY, HEY, WHAT'S UP, MAN?
>> Trevor: HOW YOU DOING, MY
DUDE?
NICE TO SEE YOU HERE.
READY FOR THE SHOW, WE GOING TO
DO SOME HEADLINES TOGETHER?
>> YEAH, YEAH, I'M WITH YOU --
I'M WITH YOU -- I'M SOCIAL
MEDIA, PROMOTING MY HOUR SPECIAL
IN PERFECT MESSENGERRER, FRIDAY
OCTOBER 29 ON COMEDY CENTRAL AT
10:30 AFTER AN ALL NEW EPISODE
OF "THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH" WITH
CHARLAMAGNE LEONARD McELFY THE
GOD.
>> Trevor: DID YOU PROMOTE
YOUR NEW STANDUP SPECIAL AND
CHARLAMAGNE'S SHOW IN THIS SHOW.
>> I COME ON AFTER CHARLAMAGNE.
>> Trevor: BUT IT'S WEIRD
BECAUSE WE WERE ABOUT TO DO THE
HEADLINES.
>> YOU CAN DO THE HEADLINES.
I SAID I WOULD BE THERE WITH
YOU.
>> Trevor: I ASSUMED YOU MEANT
WE'RE DOING IT TOGETHER.
>> I'LL CHECK IN FROM TIME TO
TIME WITH YOU WHEN I HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY -- YOU'RE MESSING UP
MY ALGORITHM.
>> Trevor: HAPPY TO HAVE YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE PROMOTING
OTHER THINGS.
LET'S KICK OFF WITH THE STORY
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.
THE WORST P.R. WEEK IN
Facebook HISTORY.
THIS WEEK IS SO BAD FOR
Facebook THAT MARK ZUCKERBERG
WAS, LIKE, Facebook?
NO, THAT'S NOT ME.
THAT WAS STARTED BY THE
WINKLEVOSS.
YOU PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT THE
WHISTLEBLOWER WHO SMUGGLED
DOCUMENTS OUT OF Facebook.
NEARLY TWO DOZEN MEDIA OUTLETS
HAVE BEEN MINING DOCUMENTS FOR
NEWS STORIES AND NOW THE SHIT
HIT THE Facebook FAN PAGE.
>> THE "THE WASHINGTON POST"
REPORTS STARTING IN 2017
Facebook'S ALGORITHM WAS
PROGRAMMED TO PUT HIGHER VALUE
ON EMOJIS LIKE THE ANGRY FACE.
THEY GAVE AN ANGRY RESPONSE FIVE
TIMES MORE VALUE THAN CONTENT
THAT GOT LIKES ON THE NEWS FEED.
THE COMPANY'S OWN RESEARCHERS
WERE WORRIED ABOUT THIS WARNING
THIS COULD OPEN THE DOOR TO
ABUSE, RAGE AND POLARIZING
USERS.
>> Trevor: YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT,
Facebook KNEW IT WAS REWARDING
SHITTY POSTS AS LONG AS THEY
GENERATED AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE.
AND I'LL BE HONEST, WHEN I FERS
HEARD ABOUT THIS, I WAS SHOCKED
BECAUSE I COULDN'T BELIEVE MARK
ZUCKERBERG KNOWS WHAT EMOTIONS
ARE.
I ALSO HAVE TO SAY THIS, THIS IS
THE WORST USE OF EMOJIS I EVER
HEARD OF.
EMOJIS SHOULDN'T BE USED TO
EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATE WITH YOU.
SHOULD BE USED TO ASK SOMEONE TO
WATER THEIR EGGPLANT.
IT DOES MAKE SENSE BECAUSE IN
REGULAR LIFE, WE ALL PUT MORE
VALUE ON THINGS THAT PRODUCE AN
EMOTIONAL RESPONSE IN IT.
YOU KNOW, IT'SHY DONALD TRUMP
BECAME PRESIDENT AND JEB BUSH
WORKS AT A QUIZNOS NOW.
PLEASE CLAP.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT'S WILD ABOUT
Facebook, MAN, IS THAT IF YOU
PUT IN THE TITLE OF YOUR NEW
HOUR SPECIAL AND A BUNCH OF
EMOJIS, YOU GET LIKES.
THIS SHIT IS CRAZY.
ALSO, Facebook IS JUST FIGHT
CLUB.
YOU NEED PEOPLE OVER THERE
FIGHTING.
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF
Facebook.
EMOJIS, SHORTENED CONVERSATIONS,
LET'S ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO PUT THIS
ALL OFF ON Facebook.
WE DON'T TYPE LOL,.
>> Trevor: WE SHOULD BE USING
WORDS.
>> NO, IF I WASN'T WITH YOU, I
WOULDN'T BE TALKING WITH YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A NICE
MEASURED DETAILED CONVERSATION
WITH EMOTION TAKE YOUR ASS TO
ETSY.
THIS IS Facebook, BRA.
I'M TRYING TO READ THIS AT AN
RED LIGHT IN AN INTERSECTION.
DON'T HAVE TIME FOR NUANCE.
( NAMING EMOJIS )
FINE, GOT IT, GREEN LIGHT.
>> Trevor: YOU'RE A DANGEROUS
DRIVER.
OUR NEXT STORY IS ABOUT SCHOOL,
THE PLACE WHERE YOU GET RID OF
ALL YOUR EXTRA APPLES.
THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT AMONG
CONSERVATIVES TO PROTECT
CHILDREN FROM BEING EXPOSED TO
LIBERAL IDEAS IN SCHOOL, IDEAS
LIKE RACISM IS BAD OR GAYS ARE
NOT BAD.
YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S ALMOST LIKE
CONSERVATIVES LEARN TOO MUCH
ABOUT CANCEL CULTURE AND
ACCIDENTALLY GOT REALLY INTO IT.
LIKE SORT OF HOW WHEN YOU START
HATE WATCHING A REAL HOUSEWIVES
SHOW AND SEVEN SEASON LATER YOU
SAY I KNOW ROMANA AND SONIA SAY
THEY'RE BEST FRIENDS BUT WOULD
YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR BEST FRIEND
BLIND THEIR BACK LIKE THAT?
A STRIKING NEW TV ADD FROM
REPUBLICAN CARNET GLENN
YOUNGKIN.
>> AS A PARENT, IT'S TOUGH TO
CATCH EVERYTHING, SO WHEN MY SON
SHOWED ME HIS READING
ASSIGNMENT, MY HEART SUNK.
IT WAS SOME OF THE MOST EXPLICIT
IT MATERIAL YOU CAN IMAGINE.
I MET WITH LAWMAKERS.
THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS
SHOWING THEM.
THEIR FACES TURNED BRIGHT RED
WITH EMBARRASSMENT.
THEY PASSED BILLS REQUIRING
SCHOOLS TO NOTIFY PARENTS WHEN
EXPLICIT CONTENT WAS ASSIGNED.
I WAS SO GRATEFUL.
BUT THEN GOVERNOR TERRY
MCAULIFFE VETOED IT TWICE.
HE DOESN'T THINK PARENTS SHOULD
HAVE A SAY.
HE SAID THAT.
HE SHUT US OUT.
>> Trevor: WHOA.
WHAT WERE THESE KIDS READING?
WAS THIS FIRST GRADER READING
"50 SHADES OF GREY"?
WAS THIS A LITTLE COLORING IN
BOOK OF DICKPICS?
NO, TURNS OUT IT WAS ACTUALLY
THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING TONY
MORRISON NOVEL BELOVED, AND ALSO
IT WASN'T A YOUNG KID, IT WAS A
HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR IN AN AP
ENGLISH CLASS.
I'M SORRY, GUYS, ANY PARENT WHO
THINKS THEIR 17-YEAR-OLD
SCHOOL'S ASSIGNMENT IS EXPLICIT,
CHECK OUT HIS BROWSER HISTORY,
TRUST ME, HE CAN HANDLE IT.
IT SHOWS YOU THE DANGER ISN'T
CONSERVATIVES I'M OR LIBERALISM
IT'S HELICOPTER PARENTING.
AP IS BASICALLY A COLLEGE
COURSE.
HOW LONG WILL THIS LADY PROTECT
HER KID?
HIS MOM WILL BUST INTO HIS DORM
ROOM AND BOSS HIM.
BANNING BOOKS IS A SLIPPERY
FOLKS BECAUSE WHAT IS-FENCIVE IS
SUBJECTIVE.
I WOULD NEVER WANT MY KID
READING THE GREAT GATSBY, I
THINK IT GLAMORIZING FRIEND
ZONING.
THAT'S IMMORAL.
WOULD YOU READ IT?
>> TOO MANY WHITE PEOPLE IN THAT
BOOK.
I'M FROM BIRMINGHAM.
WEAPONS READING AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF
MALCOLM X, MADAM C.J. WALKER.
WE READ THE ONE BOOK WITH THE
ELF RUNNING AROUND --
>> LORD OF THE RINGS?
NO.
>> WHAT'S THE ONE BEFORE THAT
ONE.
>> WITH AN ELF?
>> YEAH, ELF.
>> Trevor: WHAT IS THE ELF
DOING?
BILBO.
>> THE HOBBIT?
>> Trevor: YEAH, THAT'S THE
ONE.
READ THAT, TOO.
WE SHOULDN'T BE ERASING BLACK
HISTORY WHETHER TONY MORRISON
NOVELS OR MY NEW EPISODE ON
FRIDAY AFTER THE CHARLAMAGNE
SHOW.
>> Trevor: I'LL WATCH IT, ROY,
I'LL DEFINITELY WATCH IT BECAUSE
YOU'VE TOLD ME MANY MANY TIMES.
FINALLY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT A MAN
WHO FOUND ONE OF THE MOST
AMAZING AND DISTURBING LIFE
HACKS YOU WILL EVER HEAR ABOUT
BECAUSE THIS GUY MANAGED TO EAT
FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR BARELY
ANY MONEY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, I
KNOW WHERE THE CHIPOTLE
DUMPEDSTERS ARE, TOO, BUT HE
FOUND OUT HOW TO EAT CHEAP
WITHOUT GETTING BITTEN BY A
RACCOON.
>> A CALIFORNIA MAN WHO FOUND A
WAY TO SAVE MONEY ON FOOD,
BOUGHT AN UNLIMITED YEAR AROUND
PASS TO SIX FLAGS, INCLUDES A
PARKING PASS, TWO MEALS A DAY
FOR $150.
HE CLAIMS, AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF
EATING LUNCH AND DINNER AT THE
PARK EVERY DAY, HE PAID DOWN HIS
STUDENT LOANS AND BOUGHT A
HOUSE.
>> SO $150 A YEAR, YOU GET TWO
MEALS, LIKE 50 CENTS A DAY
BASICALLY TO FEED YOURSELF.
>> Trevor: YEAH.
THAT DUDE FED HIMSELF FOR 50
CENTS A DAY, GENIUS!
WE SHOULD GET HIM TO FIX THE
WORLD'S ECONOMIES BEFORE HE DIES
FROM GOUT.
RIGHT NOW THE DEMOCRATS ARE
STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
PAY FOR HEALTHCARE.
THIS GUY WOULD SOLVE IT.
HE WOULD BE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS GO TO THE FIRST AID TENT AT
SIX FLAGS AND TELL THEM THE
ROLLERCOASTER GAVE YOU LUPUS.
BOOM!
FREE HEALTHCARE.
THIS GUY'S ONLY MISTAKE WAS
BUYING A HOUSE.
YOU WERE ON THE ROLE.
WHY BUY A HOUSE WHEN YOU CAN
CRASH IN THE FUN HOUSE INSTEAD.
THE MIRRORS MAKE THE PLACE FEEL
ROOMIER AND STRETCHIER.
AND BY THE WAY, HOW ARE
AMUSEMENT PARKS BOTH THE
CHEAPEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE
PLACES ON EARTH?
EAT FOR A YEAR, $150.
A MOUSE PAD WITH A PICTURE OF
YOU ON A ROLLERCOASTER, $3,000!
NO IN BETWEEN!
I WILL SAY, MAN, PROPS TO THIS
GUY FOR GAMING THE SYSTEM.
THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT YOU CAN
ONLY GET AWAY WITH AT SIX FLAGS
BECAUSE THEY'RE A CHILLED
AMUSEMENT PARK.
IF YOU TRIED THIS AT DISNEY,
MICKEY WOULD HAVE YOU HANGING BY
YOUR THUMBS IN THE CASTLE
DUNGEON.
OKAY, ASSHOLE, YOU GOT YOUR FREE
FOOD, HOW YOU'RE GETTING A FREE
BEAT DOWN!
>> MY ISSUE IS HE KEPT GOING TO
THE PARK ALONE, EVERY TRIP.
>> Trevor: WHAT'S WRONG WITH
THAT?
>> YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP GOING TO
AN AMUSEMENT PARK BY YOU FEEL.
NOT RIGHT.
I USED TO GO TO CHUCK E. CHEESE
BECAUSE I LIKED VIDEO GAMES.
THE HOTEL TVs, YOU CAN'T HOOK
UP THE PlayStation.
>> Trevor: SO YOU WOULD GO TO
CHUCK E. CHEESE BY YOURSELF.
>> AND I HAD TO STOP, PEOPLE
LOOK AT YOU.
DAVE AND BUSTERS ARE FOR GROWN
FOLKS WHO WANT TO BE PLAYING
VIDEO GAMES ALONE WITHOUT BEING
LABELED AS SOMETHING IF THEY
AREN'T.
I'M ON A FLAGS WEB SITE.
THEY'VE GOT GOOD FOOD.
YOU THINK AN AMUSEMENT PARK IS
HIGH SCHOOL CONCESSION STAND
FOOD.
THEY'VE GOT PIZZA BARBECUE,
ASIAN FUSION, FEATURE OF MY NEW
HOUR SPECIAL IN PERFECT
MESSENGER PREMIERING FRIDAY AT
10:30 ON COMEDY CENTRAL.
>> Trevor: OH, NO CHARLAMAGNE
THIS TIME.
>> NO, I ALREADY GAVE HIM TWO
SHOUTOUTS.
>> Trevor: TIME TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK.
WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL TALK
ABOUT THE ISSUE THAT COPS AND
BLACK LIVES MATTER ACTUALLY
AGREE ON.
DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
SO FRIDAY AT 10:30 ONLY ON
COMEDY CENTRAL.
>> UNCENSORED.
>> Trevor: OOOH!
elcome back to "The Daily Show."
Let's talk about the police.
THE REASON EVERY BLACK PERSON
IMMEDIATELY KNOWS WHEN THEIR
TAILLIGHT GOES OUT, VERY
HELPFUL.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS COMPLAINING
ABILITY GETTING PULLED OVER BY
THE POLICE, BUT THE SURPRISING
TRUTH IS THAT A LOT OF THE TIME
THE POLICE DON'T WANT TO BE
PULLING YOU OVER EITHER.
SO PHENTHIS THEY DON'T WANT TO
DO IT, WHY ARE THEY DOING IT?
WELL, LET'S FIND OUT IN ANOTHER
INSTALLMENT OF "IF YOU DON'T
KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW."
>> Trevor: POLICE GIVE PEOPLE TICKETS FOR ALL SORTS OF
REASONS.
MAYBE THEY CAUGHT YOU SPEEDING
OR MAYBE YOU RAN A STOP SIGN OR
MAYBE THEY'RE LONELY AND THEY
JUST WANT SOMEONE TO PULL THEIR
GUN ON.
BUT IT TURNS OUT THERE'S ANOTHER
REASON THAT PEOPLE KEEP GETTING
PULLED OVER BY THE COPS, AND
IT'S A DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
CALLED THE QUOTA SYSTEM.
>> A LOT OF POLICE STOPS HAPPEN
EVERY YEAR, 20 MILLION OF THEM,
AND MANY OF THOSE STOPS,
MILLIONS OF THOSE STOPS, HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH TRAFFIC
SAFETY.
IT'S BEEN CALLED A QUOTA
CULTURE.
OFFICERS ARE BEING PRESSURED TO
GIVE TRAFFIC TICKETS, FORCED TO
MEET CERTAIN MONETARY
REQUIREMENTS.
>> TICKET QUOTAS ARE ILLEGAL IN
SEVERAL STATES INCLUDING
NEW YORK, ILLINOIS, CALIFORNIA
AND FLORIDA, BUT EVEN FORMER LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS WILL TELL
YOU THEY STILL EXIST.
>> COMMANDERS ASKING TROOPERS TO
WRITE A MINIMUM OF OFF0 TRAFFIC
VIOLATIONS A MONTH.
ON MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS, IT SAYS
THIS IS NOT A QUOTA.
>> IT'S MORNING RUSH HOUR AND
YOU ARE WATCHING A CHICAGO
POLICE OFFICER DRIVING THE WRONG
WAY DOWN BUSY STREETS, DRIVING
IN THE DIRECT PATH OF ONCOMING
MOTORISTS EVEN WITH NO EMERGENCY
LIGHTS AND CUTTING PEOPLE OFF
WITHOUT WARNING.
THE COP BEHIND THE WHEEL ISN'T
CHASING A FLEEING SUSPECT, SHE'S
TRYING TO BEAT MOTORISTS TO
THEIR PARKED CARS BEFORE
7:00 A.M. SO SHE CAN QUICKLY
WRITE AS MANY TICKETS AS
POSSIBLE.
>> Trevor: WOW!
DID YOU SEE THAT COP?
THAT WAS SO DANGEROUS.
PEOPLE, OTHER THAN MY UBER EATS
DRIVER, NOBODY SHOULD EVER DRIVE
THE WRONG-WAY DOWN A STREET.
IT ISN'T JUST DANGEROUS.
IT'S PETSY AS HELL.
WHEN VIN DIESEL DRIVES LIKE
THIS, IT'S TO SAVE HIS FAMILY.
THIS COP IS OUT THERE, LIKE --
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING I'M
WILLING TO DIE FOR IN THIS
WORLD, ISSUING $30 PARKING
TICKETS.
NOW, THE QUOTA SYSTEM IS
STICKCALLY ILLEGAL IN MULTIPLE
STATES INCLUDING FLORIDA.
AND YOU KNOW, IF FLORIDA SAYS
SOMETHING IS ILLEGAL, THEN IT'S
REALLY BAD.
THAT'S THE ONLY STATE THAT
ALLOWS YOU TO ORDER A MARGARITA
WITH METH ON THE RIM.
VERY TASTY, BY THE WAY.
DESPITE BEING ILLEGAL, QUOTEAS
ARE STILL UNOFFICIALLY A BIG
THING IN POLICE DEPARTMENTS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
YOU MAY BE ASKING WHY ARE POLICE
DEPARTMENTS SO HORNY FOR HANDING
OUT TICKETS?
TURNS OUT IT'S FOR THE SAME
REASON EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN
AMERICA, MONEY.
>> MANY CITIES PLANS THEIR
BUDGETS IN PART BASED ON THINGS
THAT PEOPLE DO WRONG.
ANYWHERE BETWEEN $5 BILLION TO
$7 BILLION ARE MADE EVERY YEAR
FROM KNOWN SPEED TRAPS
ARBITRARILY LOW SPEED LIMITS
WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT
DESIGNED TO GENERATE TICKET
REVENUE.
>> NEARLY 100 GEORGIA CITIES
RELYING ON TICKET MONEY TO FUND
AT LEAST 10% OF THEIR ANNUAL
REVENUES.
ALL OVER COLORADO, TOWNS THAT
CITE SO MANY DRIVERS THE CASH
FLOW MAKES UP A HUGE CHUNK OF
THEIR BUDGET.
NONE AT 40%, MORRISON 52.
MOUNTAINVIEW 53.
>> WASHINGTON, D.C. ISSUED
$1 BILLION IN PARKING TICKETS
AND TRAFFIC TICKETS IN OVER A
THREE-YEAR PERIOD.
>> ROLLING DOWN THIS TWO-MILE
STRETCH OF INTERSTATE 295 IN
HOPEWELL, VIRGINIA, YOU WILL SEE
WHY IT'S DUBBED THE MILLION
DOLLAR MILE.
HOPEWELL HAS USED THIS SLIVER OF
HIGHWAY THAT RUNS NOT THROUGH
BUT ALONG THE TOWN'S BORDER AS
ITS PERSONAL CASH REGISTER FOR
YEARS.
LAST YEAR HOPEWELL COLLECTED
$1.8 MILLION FOR SPEEDING
TICKETS.
TRAFFIC EXPERTS SAY THERE'S NO
OVERWHELMING SAFETY ISSUE ON
THAT STRETCH OF INTERSTATE.
>> Trevor: TURNS OUT SPEEDING
TICKETS WILL A LOT LIKE
UPLOADING PICTURES OF YOUR FEET
TO THE INTERNET, BRINGS A
SURPRISINGLY LARGE AMOUNT OF
MONEY.
IT CHANGED HOW I VIEW RECKLESS
DRIVING WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT
THIS.
WHEN I SEE SOMEONE DRIVING 18 IN
A SCHOOL ZONE, I THINK, WOW,
THAT PERSON LIKES TO GIVE BACK
TO THE COMMUNITY.
IMPRESSIVE.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER SOME OF THE
TOWNS ARE MAKING THEIR ENTIRE
BUDGET OFF THESE TICKETS, IT
GIVES US A GOOD ANSWER TO THAT
FIRST QUESTION THAT COPS ALWAYS
ASK -- SIR, DO YOU KNOW WHY I
PULLED YOU OVER?
YEAH, BECAUSE YOUR TOWN IS BROKE
AS (~BLEEP~).
YOU SHOULD TRY IT WITH THE COPS.
LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES.
CONGRATS TO THE TOWNS.
I GUESS THEY FOUND WAY TO
SQUEEZE MONEY OUT TO HAVE THE
PEOPLE WHO MADE THE UNFORGIVABLE
MISTAKE OF DRIVING.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SAFETY, IT'S
ABOUT MAKING THE MONEY.
BUT IT TURNS OUT THE COPS
RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDING OUT ALL
OF THESE TICKETS, THEY AREN'T
CELEBRATING BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS
THEY'D RATHER BE DOING ANYTHING
ELSE.
>> MOST POLICE OFFICERS DON'T
WANT TO BE HANDING OUT TICKETS
ALL DAY LONG.
>> THEY'RE SAYING THIS IS NOT
WHY WE GOT INTO POLICING.
WE GOT INTO POLICING NOT TO
WRITE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF
TICKETS AND RAISE REVENUE BUT WE
GOT INTO POLICING TO PROTECT AND
SERVE.
>> NO POLICE OFFICER'S HAND
SHOULD BE FORCED TO WRITE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SUMMONSES.
>> YOU WIND UP WITH LESS
CONFIDENCE IN YOUR LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, DETERIORATE
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUR
CITIZENS AND THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
>> STATE POLICE CHIEF SAYS
SAFETY OF HIS CITIZENS IS AT
AT-RISK BECAUSE THE CITY WANTS
HIM TO FOCUS ON TRAFFIC TICKETS
MORE THAN INVESTIGATING CRIMES.
>> THE PROBLEM IS IF YOU'RE
GOING TO WRITE THAT MANY
TICKETS, IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOUR
WHOLE DAY.
I'M HERE TO RUN A POLICE
DEPARTMENT, NOT MAKE MONEY.
>> Trevor: THAT'S RIGHT, THE
COPS DIDN'T GET INTO POLICING TO
TICKET PEOPLE, THEY GOT INTO IT
SO EVERY FEW MONTHS THAT COULD
THROW THEIR BADGE AND GUN ON A
CHIEF'S DESK.
BELL IF IF THE MAYOR DOESN'T
THINK THIS CASE IS WORTH
PURSUING, I'LL SOLVE IT MYSELF!
I'LL FIND THE BASTARD WHO STOLE
MY LEFTOVERS FROM THE OFFICE
FRIDGE!
SERIOUSLY, THERE ARE A LOT OF
POLICE OUT THERE-WEEK-OLD SPEND
THEIR TIME MAKING THEIR
COMMUNITY SAFER AND THEY KNOW
TICKETING RANDOM PEOPLE EVERY
DAY DOESN'T ACTUALLY DO THAT.
BATMAN WOULD NEVER CATCH THE
JOKER IF PEOPLE KEPT TURNING ON
THE BAT SIGNAL BECAUSE SOMEONE
PARKED IN A HANDICAPPED SPOT.
AND YOU MIGHT THINK, WELL, OKAY,
IF THE POLICE DON'T WANT TO
WRITE AS MANY TICKETS, THEY
SHOULDN'T DO IT.
THESE ARE THE POLICE, RIGHT?
DON'T THEY DO WHATEVER THEY
WANT?
THAT'S USUALLY THE CASE.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE QUOTEAS, IF
INDIVIDUAL COPS DON'T PLAY BALL,
IT'S THEIR AS ON THE LINE.
>> THE LOCAL COPS DON SEE HOW
QUOTAS ARE ENFORCED ON THE
BACKGROUNDS.
THEY'RE ENFORCED ON THE BACK OF
POLICE OFFICER ALSO.
>> IN WILLIAMSBURG A SUPERVISOR
TELLS HIS TEAM FOUR TO TEN
TICKETS A WEEK IS UNACCEPTABLE.
HE SAYS THE ENFORCEMENT NUMBERS
ARE PITIFUL AND HINTED POSSIBLE
LOWER EVALUATIONS.
>> POLICE OFFICERS SAY EVERY
WEEK THE NUMBER OF TICKETS THEY
WRITE IS POSTED FOR EVERYONE ON
THEIR SHIFT TO SEE AND AN
AVERAGE GIVEN.
IF AN OFFICER FALLS BELOW THE
AVERAGE NUMBER OF CITATIONS,
THEY SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
>> I WAS THREATENED THE LAST
WEEK THAT IF I DON'T GET MY
NUMBERS UP, THEN A SERIES OF
PUNISHMENTS WILL HAPPEN.
>> IF YOU DIDN'T GET THE NUMBER
OF TICKETS HE WANTED, IF YOU
DIDN'T GET THE 100 CONTACTS, YOU
GET MANDATORY OVERTIME, YOU GET
WRITTEN UP.
>> A SUPERVISOR LAST YEAR
TELLING HIS OFFICERS THAT THE
BOTTOM TWO PERFORMERS WOULD
DRIVE A POOL CAR, MEANING A
CLUNKER.
THIS OTHER OFFICER GETTING HIS
RADAR GUN TAKEN AWAY FOR NOT
WRITING ENOUGH TICKETS.
>> Trevor: THAT'S HOW HARD
THEY PRESSURE THE COPS.
IF YOU DON'T WRITE ENOUGH
TICKETS, THEY'LL EVEN TAKE AWAY
YOUR RADAR GUN.
WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO
CALCULATE A CAR'S SPEED IN YOUR
HEAD.
ZOOM!
150?
IT SHOWS YOU THE QUOTA SYSTEM IS
UNFAIR TO POLICE, TOO.
THE COPS CAN'T EVEN PROTEST THIS
BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY TRY,
THEY JUST BEAT THEMSELVES UP OUT
OF HABIT.
HERE'S THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT
THE QUOTA SYSTEM IS THAT NO ONE
LIKES IT.
EVERYONE, THE POLICE DON'T LIKE
IT, THE POLICE UNIONS DON'T LIKE
IT, LIBERALS DON'T LIKE IT,
BLACK LIVES MATTER DOESN'T LIKE
IT, MINORITIES, THEY ALL WANT
THE SYSTEM GONE.
IT'S ONE TO HAVE THE RARE AREAS
IN LIFE WHERE EVERYONE WANTS THE
SAME REFORM, LIKE HOW WE ALL
AGREE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SIGN
THE CREDIT CARD MACHINE WHEN WE
USE TOUCHLESS PAYING.
IT'S TOUCHLESS, WHY AM I
GRABBING THE SAME PLASTIC PEN
THAT EVERYONE ELSE IN THE CVS
HANDLED WITH THEIR HANDS?
THE QUOTA SYSTEM ISN'T GOING
ANYWHERE UNLESS THERE'S ANOTHER
WAY FOR THE POLICE TO MAKE
MONEY.
I THINK WE MAY HAVE FOUND IT.
>> AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF TICKET
QUOTEAS THAT GET THEM PULLED
OVER AND SHOT.
ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY FOR
POLICE TO MAKE MONEY FOR KRONKLY
UNDERFUNDED CITIES?
INTRODUCING UBER BLUE, THE NEW

>> Trevor: WHEN WE COME BACK,
TAMRON HALL IS ON THE SHOW TO
DISCUSS HER NEW NOVEL ABOUT
WHICH MISSING GIRLS GET COVERED
BY THE NEWS AND WHICH ONES
DON'T.
DON'T GO AWAY.
revor: Welcome bae Daily Show."
My guest tonight is Emmy
award-winning television host
Journalist and author, Tamron
Hall.
She's here to talk about her new
book, a crime thriller that
shines a light on the lack of
media coverage when young Black
children go missing.
Tamron Hall, welcome to "The
Daily Show."
>> GREAT TO BE HERE.
I LOVE YOUR NEW HOME.
>> Trevor: IT'S NICE.
>> VERY LOVELY.
>> Trevor: IT'S LIKE A LITTLE
VIBE TO GET OUT TO HAVE THE
HOUSE THEN WE SEE WHERE THE
WORLD TAKES US.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR, NOT NEW
HOME BUT FEELS FLU BECAUSE THE
PANDEMIC CAME IN THE MIDDLE OF
YOU STARTING A NEW SHOW.
>> YEAH.
>> Trevor: YET, DESPITE ALL OF
THAT, YOU HAVE JUST BEEN ON A
RISE.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S BEEN SURREAL.
WE HAD THREE MONTHS IN OUR NEW
STUDIO KICKING OFF SEASON ONE.
I ENDED UP IN THE BASEMENT OF MY
HOME WITH MY SON UPSTAIRS AND MY
HUSBAND WITH AN iPad TRYING
TO DO THE SHOW.
NOW WE'RE BACK IN STUDIO SEASON
3, OUR LIVE AUDIENCE IS BACK AND
THE VIBE IS SLOWLY RETURNING BUT
IT'S A NEW WORLD, IT'S A NEW TV
LANDSCAPE AND WE FEEL IT.
>> Trevor: ONE OF THE THINGS
ABOUT DOING THE SHOW ESPECIALLY
DAILY IS YOU'RE BUILDING AN
AUDIENCE, YOU'RE BUILDING A
CONNECTION WITH PEOPLE.
YOU JUST HAD THREE MONTHS, NEXT
THING A PANDEMIC.
WAS THERE A PASSIONATE OF YOU
THAT WAS, LIKE, COULD THIS BE
THE THING THAT TAKES EVERYTHING
OFFCOURSE?
WAS THERE A MOMENT YOU WERE
WORRIED?
>> NOT IN THE SENSE OF MY SHOW
BECAUSE I THOUGHT WHAT ARE THEY
GOING TO PUT THERE?
WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
>> Trevor: IT'S A PANDEMIC,
PEOPLE.
>> YOU GOING TO SHOP FOR A NEW
TALK SHOW?
I DON'T THINK SO.
SO I WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT THAT
ASPECT OF IT.
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY TEAM
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOW ASKING PEOPLE
TO JUGGLE THEIR PERSONAL LIVES.
AT THE TIME, MY SON MOCIES WAS
NINE MONTHS OLD.
>> Trevor: WOW.
>> SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR PERSONAL
LIFE AND NOW SOMEONE'S ASKING
YOU TO SHOW UP FOR WORK IN
SOMETHING CALLED A ZOOM IN YOUR
HOME WHILE THE WORLD STOPPED.
BUT I THINK IT EVENED THE
PLAYING FIELD, AND OUR SHOW, AT
THAT TIME, WAS ABLE TO SHOW
SOMETHING THAT I HAD 30 YEARS OF
A CAREER AS A JOURNALIST.
>> Trevor: OOOH, I LOVE THAT.
>> AND, SO, WE WERE ABLE TO SAY,
OKAY, NOW LET'S LEVEL UP, WHAT
DO WE DO?
AND WE TRANSITION TO
CONVERSATIONS LIKE A WOMAN WHOSE
HUSBAND HAD GONE INTO THE
BARBERSHOP AND GOTTEN COVID AND
SHE WAS THE FIRST NATIONAL
FIGURE REALLY, AN UNKNOWN WOMAN,
TO PLEAD TO BLACK AMERICANS, MY
COMMUNITY, YOUR COMMUNITY, TO
GET VACCINATED, AND SHE WAS ON
OUR SHOW.
THEN WE STARTED INTERVIEWING
PEOPLE.
WE DID COVID AROUND THE WORLD,
LITERALLY ON AN iPad, WHERE
WE WENT TO KOREA, INDIA, ALL
AROUND THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE
WERE SAYING, FROM THEIR
PERSPECTIVE.
SO IT TAPPED INTO MY DAYS AT
MSNBC, MY DAYS AS A JOURNALIST,
AND I THINK THAT GAVE US A LEG
UP TO SURVIVE AND WAKE UP
EXECUTIVES WHO WERE UNCERTAIN
ABOUT THE SHOW, TO BE HONEST.
>> Trevor: RIGHT.
I LOVE THAT YOU SEEM TO
SEAMLESSLY USE YOUR LIFE AND
YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCE TO ALMOST
INSPIRE WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO
BE DOING.
SO, OBVIOUSLY, FROM THE
JOURNALISM SIDE, YOU'RE A
JOURNALIST, AND THEN YOU'VE
BROUGHT JOURNALISM INTO DAYTIME.
YOU'VE WON AN EMMY,
CONGRATULATIONS, FOR DOING THAT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Trevor: EXCITING
ACHIEVEMENT TO HAVE.
YOUR BOOK IS NO DIFFERENT.
TAMRON HALL, "AS THE WICKED
WATCH."
I SAID, OH, OKAY, SHE'S GOING TO
BE WRITING ABOUT THE NEWS AND
TALKING ABOUT THIS.
>> A MEMOIR.
>> Trevor: NO, SHE WROTE A
NOVEL.
WHY DID YOU NOT GO WITH A MEMOIR
OR SOMETHING CURRENT AFFAIRS
DRIVEN?
>> BECAUSE IT WASN'T INTERESTING
TO ME.
I THOUGHT ABOUT WRITING A MINI
MEMOIR OF WHEN I FIRST GOT FIRED
FROM THE "TODAY" SHOW OR LEFT
THE "TODAY" SHOW TO BUILDING
THIS TALK SHOW WHICH INCLUDE
HARVEY WEINSTEIN AND ALL THE
OTHER STUNNING STORIES I
ENCOUNTERED.
I SAID, I'M NOT READY FOR ALL
THAT.
BEFORE ALL THAT DRAMA HAPPENED,
THERE WERE TWO STORIES, IN 1997
WHEN I WAS A RECORDER IN DALLAS
AND CHICAGO, WITHIN THAT YEAR,
I'D COVERED THE DEATHS OF TWO
GIRLS, BOTH 11 YEARS OLD, ONE
WHITE, ONE BLACK.
WHEN YOU'RE A REPORTER AND YOU
GET A PICTURE OF SOMEONE AND THE
FAMILY SAYS HERE'S A PICTURE FOR
THE NEWS AND YOU HAVE THIS KID
AND YOU'RE STUDYING THEM AND
START TALKING TO FRIENDS AND ARE
OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL OR IN THE
CASE OF CHICAGO YOU'RE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND PEOPLE ARE
TELLING YOU HOW ADORABLE AND
WONDERFUL SHE IS, FOR ME, THE
KIND OF PERSON I AM, I FELT LIKE
I KNEW THEM, AND FROM '97 UNIL
EVEN NOW, IT WOULD PLAY IN MY
MIND, BEING IN FRONT OF THAT
CRIME SCENE AND WHAT IT WAS
LIKE, AND THEY HAUNTED ME.
AND, SO, I, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC,
STARTED -- HAD STARTED MEETING
WITH MEETING
WITH PUBLISHERS AND TELL THEM I
WANT TO TALK ABOUT MISSING
PEOPLE AND THOUSAND THEY'RE
TREATED.
I CREATED A CHARACTER JORDAN
MANNING, MY ALTER EGO -- MICHAEL
JORDAN AND PEYTON MANNING IS HOW
I GOT HER NAME --
( LAUGHTER )
AND I SAID HOW DO I TAKE THIS
STORY IN A DIRECTION, WHAT IS IT
LIKE BEING A BLACK WOMAN IN THE
NEWS ROOM WHEN YOU'RE ONE OF ONE
OR ONE OF TWO AND WEAVING IT
INTO A STORY IN THE LANDSCAPE OF
CHICAGO.
>> Trevor: IN THE NOVEL YOU
TAKE US THROUGH A STORY THAT,
YES, IS FICTITIOUS BUT THERE'S
NO DENYING IT TALKS TO WHAT'S
HAPPENING TODAY AND,
UNFORTUNATELY, IT COINCIDES WITH
THE CONVERSATION IN AND AROUND
BLACK GIRLS WHO ARE GOING
MISSING, BLACK WOMEN WHO HAVE
GONE MISSING AND PEOPLE ASKING
THE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW DOES THE
MEDIA CHOOSE WHICH SPOTLIGHT TO
USE.
AND SOMEONE SAID THE OTHER DAY,
OH, SO SHOULD THEY NOT HAVE
COVERED THE YOUNG GIRL'S STORY?
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NOT, IT'S
ABOUT THE WHY NOT AS WELL.
WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT SO
MANY BLACK GIRLS AND WOMEN
AREN'T DEEMED TO BE A NATIONWIDE
NEWSWORTHY STORY?
>> I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE
ANSWER TO THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I
THINK, FOR ME, TO YOUR POINT OF
WHY CAN'T WE COVER BOTH,ETH
ALMOST LIKE POLICE BRUTALITY.
FOR A LONG TIME I WOULD TELL
PEOPLE, WAIT A MINUTE, BLACK
PEOPLE AREN'T AGAINST POLICE,
WE'RE AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY.
THERE ARE BLACK POLICE OFFICERS
AND YOU PUT PEOPLE IN A TRICK
BAG WHEN YOU SAY, THE MINUTE YOU
QUESTION POLICE BRUTALITY YOU
DON'T LOVE OR LIKE POLICE, AND
THEY'RE IN YOUR FAMILY AND IN
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S A TRICK BAG PEOPLE ARE PUT
INTO.
SO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, WAIT A
MINUTE, ARE YOU SAYING WE
SHOULDN'TO COVER THAT CASE?
THAT'S A TRICK BAG, AND IT'S ONE
THAT HAS BEEN BUILT BY THE
MEDIA, AND I HAVE BEEN A PART OF
IT FOR 30 YEARS, IN WATCHING
THIS HAPPEN.
WITH THAT CASE THAT YOU'RE
REFERRING TO, GABBY PETITO, HER
POOR FAMILY NOW HAVE TO STOP AND
SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, WE WANT HER
COVERED BUT WE ALSO WANT JALANI
DAY COVERED, AND JALANI DAY'S
MOTHER IS BEGGING FOR A CAMERA
TO POINT HER DIRECTION TO PLEAD
FOR WHERE HE IS, SO WHO'S PUT
THEM IN THE MIDDLE.
THAT'S THE HARD QUESTION THAT WE
HAVE TO ADMIT AS REPORTERS.
TRADITIONALLY NEWS ORGANIZATIONS
WERE LED BY WHITE MEN AND FOR SO
LONG THESE THINGS GET PASSED
ALONG.
I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A NEWS ROOM
WHERE SOMEONE SAID LISTEN,
TAMRON, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE
BEAUTIFUL WHITE GIRL, NO ONE
SAID THAT BUT THE ACTIONS LEAD
TO THAT, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
SAY THE WORD WITH YOUR ACTIONS.
IN THE RECENT CASE, I SAW FOUR
OR FIVE CAMERAS AT ONE LOCATION.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THAT
COSTS?
>> Trevor: RIGHT.
>> SHE AND HER FAMILY DESERVE
THAT BECAUSE GOD FORBID MY CHILD
WAS MISSING, I WANT YOUR WHOLE
NEWSCAST.
>> Trevor: RIGHT.
>> SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE
FOR THE PARENT TO WANT THAT
COVERAGE, BUT WHERE IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY?
AND I KNOW AND YOU AND I BOTH
KNOW JOURNALISTS OF COLOR WHO
ARE IN THE NEWS ROOM NOW ARE
SAYING IT MORE.
>> Trevor: RIGHT.
>> BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY ARE IN
POWERFUL POSITIONS.
THEY THINK THE POWER IS IN FRONT
OF THE CAMERA, AND I GO TO
SCHOOLS AND J. SCHOOLS AND TALK
TO STUDENTS, THE POWER IS NOT IN
FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO BE
EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS ON THE
SHOWS.
WHEN YOU ARE AN EXECUTIVE IN
CHARGE OF A NEWS ROOM OR
ORGANIZATION AND YOU BRING YOUR
PERSPECTIVE AND SENSIBILITY,
THAT CHANGES THE NEWS ROOM, AND
WE'RE SEEING THAT MORE.
BUT I WROTE THIS BOOK A YEAR AND
A HALF AGO.
I COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED WE
WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS BUT
CLEARLY I DID IMAGINE IT BECAUSE
IT'S IN THE BOOK.
>> Trevor: YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S
IN THE BOOK, SOMETHING HAPPENING
NOW, AND UNFORTUNATELY IT'S
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
IT'S A FASCINATING READ.
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF HOW IT TIES
INTO WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU'VE
DONE BUT JUST BECAUSE IT'S A
REALLY FASCINATING READ.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST
NOVEL, ONE OF THIS.
WE'LL HAVE YOU BACK FOR THE NEXT
ONES AND CONGRATULATIONS ON A
SUCCESSFUL DAYTIME SHOW.
>> MEANS THE WORLD TO ME, THANK
YOU.
>> Trevor:TIME'S BOOK, "AS THE
WICKED WATCH" IS AVAILABLE NOW.

ASS, SAYS CAVUTO.
