- Are there any questions
before we move on,
anything you want to chat
about before we carry on?
No? Oh, yes, sir?
- [Man] Um, what did you
and Tomi Lahren talk about?
- What did me and Tomi
Lahren talk about?
We talked about the death
threats that people gave her.
So a lot of people
don't know this,
but when Tomi Lahren
came to the show, um.
One thing I've always
appreciated is any Republican
or any Conservative that'll
come to The Daily Show
because I love having
discussions with people
I know I don't agree with,
and they don't agree with me.
Um, I also think that's the
best place to have, like,
to challenge your
ideas, otherwise you get
trapped in a bubble where
you're just talking to people
who agree with you, it's like,
"I think this!" "I agree!"
"Yeah!" "Yeah!"
(laughter)
But I never have to
like sharpen my ideas,
unless I meet someone
who challenges those
ideas, you know?
And so, I appreciated
that she came to the show
the same way I would
with any Republican,
like we had presidential
candidates who came.
What was weird to me was
Tomi Lahren came to the show
and then she got death threats
from people who claim to
be fans of The Daily Show,
and my problem wasn't
just the death threats,
it's the type of
death threats she got.
You know, people were like,
"You blonde, dumb bitch,
I hope you die in a ditch"
and, you know, "You
should go to hell,"
"I hope you get raped and
die, you conservative whore."
Like literally that, and
I was like, look man,
I don't stand for that.
You can't say you're a
fan of The Daily Show,
you can't say, in my opinion,
that you're a liberal person
if you're going to
say that about women.
You can't be pro-women
but against women
when they go against
what you like.
You can be like, "Look,
I don't like her views."
(applause)
But...
Misogyny is never excusable,
that's like, it's just,
like your values shouldn't
change depending on how angry
you are or are not as
a person, you know?
It's like some people
who "become racist."
You know when people do that?
They'll be like,
something will happen
with a black person
and they'll be like,
"Ah, you nigger!"
And then it'll be
like, "What did you?"
And they're like,
"No, I'm not racist,
"he just made me so angry.
(laughter)
"And I'm not racist, I'm
not racist, I just got so-"
It's like, no, you clearly you
have racism, you are racist,
but you just reserve it for,
there's black people you like,
but you'll use
racism as a cudgel
to go against black
people you don't.
You get what I'm saying?
But you can't
choose when and how
your values should be applied.
So I personally felt bad,
and she got death threats
from right-wing media as well,
because they were like,
"Why would you sell out?
"Go to The Daily Show,
you're trash, you're this."
I genuinely felt
bad for the person,
and then I was like,
"Yo, can I meet with you
"and your producers"
just to talk about like,
"Hey, thanks for
coming to the show,
"we're sorry that that
happened, not that it was us,
"but we're sorry
that that happened."
But then paparazzi's slick,
the way they take the picture,
is they cut everybody out
of the picture so then
it's just like the
two of us like...
(laughter)
That was actually my first
time learning about how good
American paparazzi
is, because literally
my producers were
there with me as well,
and I was sitting there
with him, and I was like,
"Dude, where's, where
are you and the?"
And he was puzzled.
(laughter)
He's like, "Wow, how come
I'm not in the picture?
"Where am I?"
(laughter)
He's like, "Wow, I could be
famous now, but I'm not in,"
like they just cut you out
completely, they literally can.
And so then I
learned, I was like,
"If you're not careful, people
will take a picture of you
"and they'll take
it out of context."
So now, I've learned from that.
So now every time I
go to a public event,
and like Kim Kardashian or like
Cardi B or somebody's there,
I try and stand next to them
(laughter)
so that people will be
like, "Are they dating?"
And I'm like, "Are they?"
(laughter and applause)
