Always love Trevor’s interviews. Unlike the “news” interviewers who always seem to be trying to provoke a controversial sound bite, Trevor’s interviews are thoughtful and nuanced and have greater depth than most interviews I see on news networks.
Brilliant interview!! Two scholarly men aiming and reaching to dig deeper into the components and vagaries of race in the Obama administration primarily, and secondarily in the Trump administration.
Ta-Nehisi Coates. A fascinating individual. Hearing his take on racial issues is very refreshing. You're not going into the conversation expecting normal conversation about race you're going in with a much more deeper understanding of it and coming out like "okay I think I have a better understanding than I would have with any other person who talked about it"
Amazing interview! He is absolutely right about having an experience, expertise and knowledge of a subject so you whole heart just purred on the paper like a wave on the ocean. Great, handsome and beautiful mind. We need billion of copies of him and his book.
2 brilliant men just conversing from their individual and common perspectives. Outstanding conversation! Certain people are supposed to hate this. That’s their roll in this jacked up country
@@firstlast9846 In what is bound to be the most quoted passage from the book, you write that you watched the smoldering towers of 9/11 with a cold heart. At the time you felt the police and firefighters who died “were menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could - with no justification - shatter my body.” You obviously do not mean that literally today (sometimes in your phrasing you seem determined to be misunderstood). You are illustrating the perspective born of the rage “that burned in me then, animates me now, and will likely leave me on fire for the rest of my days.”
For all those wondering why the Daily show isn't covering the war in Ukraine, I have a theory. It's certainly not because they don't care , and I don't think its Trevor's personal choice not to cover it, but my belief is that the higher higher ups don't want him to yet, the daily show is supposed to be a comedic news channel, you receive news, but comedy is thrown in here and there to lighten the mood, and make the news overall more entertaining and less serious, but with what is happening in Ukraine along with the uncertainty, there is nothing funny about the situation, in addition the way the daily show normally broadcast its news stories are in short summaries of the situation and then onto the next story, the situation in Ukraine is not simply a topic than can be mentioned for 5 minutes and then glossed over for another story, hence why I think that at least for now, the daily show is choosing to let the more serious news channels cover it.
Yeah, noticed the same thing on John Oliver, he made mention of it and they had the flag in the stage, but he didn't do a piece on it. I am betting we'll see something more substantive once there is some certainty that Putin isn't going to start tossing nukes and/or there is a ceasefire.
Yeah. I've seen some Ukrainian viewers who were less than pleased that war in their country is part of other comedic late night talk shows. Which is a very valid point. I also recognize American's have a culture to joke about aweful situations even when the situation is about them. However, war is a whole other level of aweful. It's a line I wouldn't want to walk either.
@@DownwithEA1 yes, I saw a Stephen Colbert piece, and while I respect that he was at least trying to address the war, it felt very wrong to hear his, audience cracking up at his jokes. I know it's all about breaking up the tension, but this goes beyond anything remotely funny.
This was a very interesting conversation. I like that Trevor said he was a big optimist and Ta-Nehisi was not. I love Trevor and I realized his level of optimism is different from other comics. And I bought Between The World and Me and didn't get throught the 1st chapter. It felt so different than the way I like to think about things. I felt like he was trying to convince me of how awful life was for me. Maybe I'll give him another chance.
The depth, the nuance & facts of analysis is just riveting. Compare that to the rants & rages of Candace Owens or even Judge Clearance Thomas, leaves you shaking your head from those two utter stupidity.
Conversations like this are rarely heard. It`s rare to have a talk show who is so literate, and black. Across from him is a very thoughtful literate and educated writer, who is black. Both men express themselves extremely well, both men have experienced racism, but in different ways. Man, this may have never happened before, in the whole history of television.
Wow, that joke reminds me of the 4th graders who would tell the same un-funny topical jokes from 1996. Ugh, I appreciate your effort but that was textbook awful. Think more next time....A LOT MORE...like think on it, refine it and then post it after about 2-3 weeks and then you might, just might, have a legitimately funny joke.
Yes he should cover the racism from the Ukrainian ppl while they're at war, preventing black students from passing borders and getting on buses and trains... disgusting
I love you both so much. But also, Trump didn’t win because he was rich and white. We could have a whole discussion about the fraternity of the presidency and where they went to school, etc. But Trump won because he is an excellent entertainer and his whole strategy was just to give the people what they want. He was a strawman for the Republican party and no one thought he believed in anything he said. His opponents didn’t take him seriously or took him too seriously. Trump is one of the greatest conmen of all time. But most of the people in power are just rich white guys.
I loved this interview! Unfortunately for Hillary she figured out how to win with diff constituents but her arrogance toward black ppl esp black men sank the ship. She blew it!
Sweetie she actually won an very overwhelming percentage of the black vote including black men. But if you think Trump was more appealing to black men what does say about your values admiring a known racist because he was a man.
@@FemFantastic2.0 i didn't mention his name. My comment was regarding Hillary. She lost, plain n simple bec as many "black" votes as she received she still LOST!!!! Do you get that?!! Go argue about facts with someone else.
@@vivpace7049 sweetie she lost because of the way the electoral college is set up. She won the popular vote but lost because the republicans in those smaller less densely populated states won. Black people supported her in overwhelming numbers but we are only 13% of the population and most of us are concentrated in larger urban areas where our national influence is not as strong. I feel as if you don’t actually read very much and probably watch FOX news. Shame.
Oh come on. Has the proliferation of black politicians had any effect on conditions in the black community? No. No, things keep getting worse despite all of this nation's attempts to make things better.
TREVOR THE president is brown YOU knows that! Are you color Blind His wife is BLACK! And pretty too ! Yeah ! like A Beef Burger call Hamburger only in America! Charlie Brown or you A cheeseburgerS kid! You said with. French fries! and a little red gotYO!
@@Karrikua “If you have a tough time figuring whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” - Joe Biden “I don’t want my kids to grow up in a racial jungle.” - Joe Biden “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” - Joe Biden “This country is doomed, not just because of African Americans.” - Joe Biden You might call Trump a racist and white supremacist, but the only person I’ve seen being racist and a white supremacist was Joe Biden. He even supported Robert Byrd who was a KKK grand wizard.
This is an old clip. Note the use of "throwback" in the title. This interview is from 2017. After Coates' essay in The Atlantic, "My President was Black."
Wait wait wait Travor, if you care as a fan and you think Kayne on the wrong path then why not have a 1-to-1 chat as fan to tell him how you feel. But you come out and try to dig a hole in someone else’s family issue publicly!! That’s just wrong and disgusting. Mind your own business dude

This brother is just anointed to do what he does!!! Passionate

Two beautiful men with brains, just talking. I love it. 🥰

I think this one goes down as my favourite of Trevor’s interviews. Because of the interviewee and of course Trevor’s presence of mind.
Amazing interview! He is absolutely right about having an experience, expertise and knowledge of a subject so you whole heart just purred on the paper like a wave on the ocean. Great, handsome and beautiful mind. We need billion of copies of him and his book.
Really, you want a blatant racist publishing more books? 👌
Wonderful conversation. Absolutely loved this ❤️
So amazing a conversation!
He is a great observer of American life, and he speaks very fluently and deeply about it. His concern is evident.
Amazing.. “where’s your laptop now!” #BarackintheHood 🎬🤣
"We're not editing that out. You should have done it right the first time!" lol
I read "Letter to my Son" in college, so it's great to see an interview with him!!
2 brilliant men just conversing from their individual and common perspectives. Outstanding conversation! Certain people are supposed to hate this. That’s their roll in this jacked up country
Along with being an amazing writer, Ta-Nehisi Coates is an incredible speaker.
Didn’t bro say he had “No sympathy for the first responders on 9/11” ?
@@firstlast9846 In what is bound to be the most quoted passage from the book, you write that you watched the smoldering towers of 9/11 with a cold heart.

@@firstlast9846 he was essentially saying in the passage, what is 9/11 to descendants of slaves. It’s controversial for sure but, has reason.
@@SquidLikeSimon its still a moronic statement and a cruel one.
@@firstlast9846 Yeah, Coates is nothing but a race-grifter. Trevor Noah is no better.
Great conversation. Also love that you kept both takes at the end in
Just so earnest and respectful
whyyyyy is it only letting me like this oooonce?! aaah. great dialogue!
Unfortunately you have no update video on Ukraine Russia war....
Fantastic interview and oh so timely. 🙏🏾
I must read this article. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Coates.

@@patriciaorourke1816 I agree. It's not the first time I've watched the show and felt no laughter because of the topic. This was one of those times.
This guy is going to be a legend for decades and maybe centuries.
A mooch? Ta-Quishi crazy!
I learned a few vocabulary words in this episode.

Glad to see more interviews with prominent thinkers of today.

Infinity type awesomeness! Proud of the brothers.
Love love love TC
Video plays very quietly - please could you upload it with better quality volume
It's not about politics it's about recourse
💚
*Reasons Trump Wears a Hairpiece:*
1) He thinks it makes him look younger.
2) It hides the knots on his head from banging under Putin's desk.

It is weird to put a physical being with the ideas I've enjoyed reading.
It is so sad that I have to deal with the effects of being traumatized by racism to such a degree I no longer want to live in this country
Obama's Tenure in Chicago.
*has to be said*
Why is Trevor not covering about war on Ukraine?
Does it strengthen my mental stability to ask rhetorical questions?
Yes he should cover the racism from the Ukrainian ppl while they're at war, preventing black students from passing borders and getting on buses and trains... disgusting
as far as i can tell this interview happened in 2017
Why? He only wants to talk about the tiny amount of black people leaving.
@A P still cashing that Russian cheque I see.
Yo trevor
Fox news love for Russia compilation soon?

Why you so obsessed with Trump. He is working well for your views

Divider..?
Relatability is important in representation that's all he was say

Still talking about Trump because it's better than talking about Biden?
tRumputin is the cause of all this chaos happening 🖕
✌️ KEEP THESE BETA MAGA KKKLOWNS CRYING DAILY ✌️✌️🥴
He does talk bout both. You seem to be missing something crucial. Trump is a white suprematist, Biden is not. As a black man Trump is more relevant.
