Trump Weaponizes Victimhood to Defend Kavanaugh - Between the Scenes | The Daily Show 

Equality feels like oppression to the privileged.

Who else is binge watching all the Behind the Scenes after they found out they existed? I feel so woke because of him

trevor always perfectly says the shit that i’m thinking but can’t put into words

This is what should be aired on the daily show. it's what the show lacks. stewart would break character and get serious every now and then. the trevor we see here is doing something similar and it can reach so many more people. it needs to happen more and it needs to be aired. THIS is the trevor I want to see more of.

We need to remember this isn't men vs women. This is victims vs rapists. Some of those victims are also men.

Trevor at his finest. Thanks for expressing it so eloquently.

This dude has "leader" written all over him...

The passion in Trevor's voice and his points that were so eloquently put together, really demonstrated the seriousness of everything going on. You could tell that this was something he felt deeply concerned about. Truly heart-felt and genuine.

"Trump knows how to offer victimhood to the people who have the least claim to it." Hit the nail on the head.

This is the most healing thing I have seen in the media surrounding sexual assault ever. Mostly because Trevor admitted that he has to combat his internal oppression and spoke with a realness and a rawness that allows a person to recognize their faults and become better for it.

That was the quickest 8 min that went by. Trevor had me in a trance. PREACH!

'...offer victimhood to people who have the least claim to it...' This was sadly the perfect punchline for ppl on the Trump side in relation to the Me Too Movement! Trevor you hit the nail on the head.

Goddamn that was powerful. Trevor never ceases to be articulate and eloquent.

Trevor, this made me cry. I truly wish others had your insight and compassion. Kudos to your mother for raising a smart caring young man.

Can we give you a second show that's this kind of stuff entirely? Seriously. This "between the scenes" stuff is fucking gold!

he should go off script all the time. This was epic.

Remember when t'rump mocked the parents of a fallen US soldier, and we thought "he can't get any lower." WRONG!

Funny thing, I was accused of sexual assault and harassment... While yes it was stressful at times, I knew I was good to go because I was innocent. Said individual tried pressing the same charges three times back to back. I was cleared everytime and I encourage a full investigation all three times because I had nothing to hide... Moral of the story is, if you're innocent you have nothing to hide and are willing to be fully investigated.

That is without doubt the best explanation for this issue I have ever heard. Thank you 🙏

This is one of Trevor Noah's best moments. It's too bad he is ineligible for the Presidential Office, cause he'd make a damn fine president!

When you spend your entire life in a position of privilege, justice feels like a punishment.

A sexual predator, a racist and a Russian spy walk into a bar. The bartender says "What can I get you Mr. President?"

Trevor has filled Jon Stewart's shoes so well!

Trevor Noah is my favorite person to watch. He is hilarious but also he is very intelligent and I think people forget that because he's a comedian. He is providing us factual information in an entertaining form. Dude is woke. That's all I gotta say lol

I almost cried... there's so much truth in this... not just in America.

I had tears rolling down my cheeks as I listened to this. I'll never come forward and confront the man who assaulted me for years as a child. I've never talked about it publicly. I never would before and I never will now, for this very reason. I've been through enough. To be harassed and degraded any further would destroy me.

It's funny how ppl from USA need somebody intelligent from "outside" to explain them what is actually going on "inside". Trevor, you'r the man.

Trevor Noah has all my respect!! I haven't come across anyone like him. No comedian, no celebrity, no daily show host can match up to this man! Trevor is the BEST! 🙌

It's amazing how far victimizing the abuser can go. I have a friend who was sexually abused by someone who she was dating when she was 16. She was ashamed because he made her believe because she was dating her she wasn't actually raped (even if she didn't want, it, yelled at him and even fought him) .He kept her isolated from friends and family so she had no one to talk about the abuse. When she finally realized she could take back control and leave him, he punished her by breaking her nose, kicking her so hard in the guts she through up and she had to be hospitalized. this boy (19 at the time) convinced her mother that she in fact attacked him and he was merely defending himself. That she made up these story's about him so she would not be blamed for leaving him. Ironically the only person who believed her was his father who had been watching his son be abusive to her on many situations. After she got home the boy wanted to come over and "talk things out". The mother let him in. She was horrified, locked herself in her room until he was gone and got scolded for being rude. When she tried to admit what he'd done to her prior to her being hospitalized, her mother wasn't having it. She must have been lying. After he came by a few more times and she managed to avoid him again, she at some point got out of the house and managed to go to his house and talk to his dad who didn't know he'd been visiting her and her mother. He came home while she was there and lounged an attack at her. The father stood up to him and attacked him. He beat his own son to a bloody mess. After this that boy left her alone. She never went to the police... Her own mother was there when everything was going on and didn't believe her. Why would the police be convinced other way's? The father of this boy was the only one who believed her, but also had aggression problems and honestly she didn't know if after all that she should get police involved... The'd probably not understand. People wonder why victims don't come forward. Victims come forward when they feel supported and sure of themselves. (The #metoo movement sure made a loot of men and women come out of the woodworks) But when they are unsure, broken down by someone, and become isolated... They won't. People who do this don't pick victems they can't overpower. They don't pick the stronger person who has it all figured out. They don't pick someone who will see through their manipulations. They pick a usually younger victim who they believe they can mold, break down or pressure in to things. This is how they get away with it.

I know Trevor Noah is amazing, but this speech is extraordinary

Same in india ,our ruling party make us believe that hindu religion is in danger, this is how they distract frim real topics

My most obvious demonstration of the kind of aggrieved white guy victimhood I've ever seen was when my dad was convicted of possession of child pornography. He lost his house, his marriage, his family, his career, and all his money. Time to reevaluate your life? Nope! The Feds railroaded him and his lawyer was incompetent and everything was totally unfair and he was the real victim. It was even my mom's fault for getting cancer and needing a double mastectomy that drove my disgusted (but totally innocent!) father into the arms of child porn. It taught me a very important lesson about how these kind of men see the world: nothing is good enough for them, they're responsible for nothing, and they are always entitled to more. And if they don't get what they're entitled to, they're victims. Angry, loud, belligerent victims. Doesn't matter if it's rape or assault or pedophilia or child porn. They're the victims, and they will MAKE you understand that whether you want them to or not.

Proud of you Trevor, well said.

This, I believe, is the moment Trevor has shown he deserves to be the man to carry Jon Stewart's legacy: the Daily Show was, and still is much more than just comedy; he has shown deep insight and he really deserves his place in show. I'm really happy for him and for us all, as we are lucky to have him as communicator in this time.

Trevor finds exactly the right words to describe the situation. Thanks for lending victims your voice!

This is a tactic; it’s an “us vs. them” thing when someone says it this way. Divided people can’t stand up together. The more wedges they throw between us, the weaker we all are. Think on it.

One of the best monologes in recent years

Wow!!! That was powerful. Well done Trevor Noah!

Incredibly powerful 8 minutes. He lays it all out so well I’m genuinely moved to hear it all put this way so we’ll

when Trevor says "you know what I mean??" you have just been hit with the Noah facts...

Yeah, men should really avoid walking to their cars alone at night for fear of being " accused"

Moments like this is why Jon Stewart handed him the reigns

I’m studying to be a Bachelor of sociology, and Trevor Noah is my goal for how articulate and succinct I want to be when expressing myself. The words he uses and his prose are so powerful and intellectual, my breath is actually taken away...

This is one of the most well said statements on what's happening now, that I have ever heard.

Trevor is very eloquent and intelligent 👌🙂

I literally cried. Every man has told me that they are scared of the me too movement. Every man has told me that it’s scary to be a man right now. And and all I’ve wanted to do is cry. Because they don’t get it. I want every man that has mocked sexual assault to watch this.this is very important. Thank you Trevor. At least you get it.

한국에는 이런 분이 없는듯... 한국에도 이런 언론인이 있었음 합니다...

This made me tear. It's not easy coming forward. Thank you Trevor!

This needs to be broadcast on every TV channel and Radio Station throughout the country. Trevor is able to perceive things with such clarity in a way that no one else can and then he has a gift to be able to take what he perceives and put it into words that speak complete truth and wields power. I seriously cannot thank this man enough for this, he really is something very special and a man to be looked up to. ❤️ Thank you Trevor, you have no idea how comforting it feels to know there are still good guys out there like you in a time like this.

John Stewart, you chose well!

That's something. Said perfectly. Trevor never disappoints.

Wow... very powerful. Thank you for this.

As a victim of date rape and several sexual assaults, this was one of the hardest between the scenes to watch. I hope things change soon.. for my kids.

How does Trevor do it? He can make you laugh at a serious subject and at the same time make you think deeply. I love his perspective as an outsider while interjecting his experience living under apartheid. His intelligence, comedic timing, and empathy continue to impress me.

Feeling is often time more powerful than what actually is happenning... Wow.. Well said trevor👏👏👏

I just want to say from the bottom of my heart how much love and respect I have for you Trevor. You are a strength to many during a rough time. Often times the Daily show is overlooked because although it is a "news show" it's also a comedy so people will downplay it's importance. I just hope that you and TDS team know how much it means to us that you continue to do what the show has been doing for a long time now. I remember on 9/11 that the news show that affected me the most was Jon Stewart opening the show with tears and hope. I turned to this show to help cope with a life-changing experience that we all were going through, and now you are continuing that by showing us hope and laughter through a really tough time for many women and men. I doubt that you will ever read this comment but I hope you know how much strength people get from your ability to handle stress with a smile which makes it easier for us to continue on.

I love these behind the scene clips ....preach.

Well said! Fear is the favorite tool of despots.

"I'm free, I wear MAGA hats, I release hits and I'm free." Ye, where you at ? 😂

What an analysis, I like his language

damn..this was deep and real

I always love the between the scenes, but this one was better than usual. That's why he's my favorite late night host.

His way of connecting the dots is amazing. I love him.

Thank God there are people like you in this world. Your mother did a great job.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Daily Show...but this between the scenes dialogue is so much better because it is Trevor Noah at his best. He is perceptive in ways many of us are not, and his honesty in speaking these issues is only outmatched by his personal experience growing up. It really is such an honor to listen to his viewpoint. Whether I agree with someone or not (with him, I undoubtedly do) it is such a pleasure to listen to them convey their thoughts in this way. Thank you Daily Show.

An 8 minute long Behind the Scenes?? This is the BTS we need, but not the BTS we deserve

I believe everyone is this world deserves to see this video. It should be aired worldwide and translated in all languages for everyone to see. Thank you Trevor for being very eloquent and putting this tragic topic into sound and logical words for mislead people to understand. You are by far, my favourite public speaker and talk show host.

This is so powerful. Thank you for putting into words what has been in my heart.

Trevor just won his first Emmy with this one. The Between Scenes are my absolute favorite part of this show, a good portion of the time. Trevor is brilliant in his way of weaving world events like a storyteller.

I wasn't ready. I came to laugh and Noah made a real and deep speech!

Oh my Goodness I LOVE you for your thoughts, feelings, and being brave enough to voice them on a worldwide platform. I thank you as an American, as a mother, as a child, as a survivor of sexual abuse, & as a human. Never lose your voice. Thank you 100 times!

Trevor, Thank you for your powerful words. Unfortunately getting supporters of this reign to hear this is next to impossible! Ugh Will this ever end??... and then how will we, as a country, dig our way out of this unimaginably bottomless hole we are in?

When you think you can't love this guy more, he does something like this.

This was so sad and true that not even Trevor's impressions made me laugh... Sad times :-(

Thank you Trevor. Just started watching your "Between the Scenes" segments....so eloquent and moving. I always look forward to your show.

I’m just so proud of you as if I know you personally ... for clearly explaining something..anything. Educating through humour.

America how did you become this way? I think that the statue of Liberty should go back to France until you deserve to be represented by her.

This video needs to go viral.

이 영상 정말 좋다. 한국 청소년 교육 방송으로 사용했으면 좋겠다.

I've been binge watching Trevor Noah clips all month. But believe me this, he cannot project more beauty than he does in this clip with his sound, humble, and witty reasoning.

When he got to the part about her strongest memory being the laughter, I started crying. This is the most eloquent description of what's going on right now that I've heard, and it came from a late night comedy show host. I hate everything right now. I have no hope. You can call me a drama queen if you want, but things are bad.

Holy shit this was just moving and heartbreaking

5:35 "that's what she said" got a whole new meaning.

Wow... incredibly well said and 100% the truth. Never stop speaking out Trevor

an 8 minute between the scene? what is this seriously, what did we do to deserve this because we need to keep doing it. Between the scenes are my favorite part of the show!

That Kanye Shade though 😂😂😂😂

This man just earned all my respect and admiration right now. Man, I aspire to be able to talk like you one day

Thank God for you Trevor, You bring light to every subject you tackle in every field.

We need more humans like Trevor Noah

The only ones who should be afraid are the criminals and the guilty.

Love this guy, He's lived through stuff so gets life😘

not only is this the best way i have heard it put, but also, i could literally listen to trevor talk for hours, he has the most soothing and beautiful voice

How many times can I like this? Not enough! Thank you for cutting through all the crap, Trevor.

**I DEMAND TO KNOW "WHY THIS SEGMENT WASN'T AIRED"...this is what America needs to hear...this is the fundament of why we watch your show!**

I have never been addicted to Trevor's show more....his speech has got depths....I wish more people can hear you Trevor because it is needed

May Allah s.w.t bless you and protect you . You are doing a very awesome job. Amen!

Such a wonderful man. Please show this to as many middle/high schools as possible.

This legit made me teary and I was shivering. This is why Noah is so successful.

Here, here! An excellent and thoughtfully delivered critical thinking expression / discussion. I also appreciated the South African perspective. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated listening to this after a very difficult week.

This is the most truthful words I've heard in a long time. It is precisely what's happening and said eloquently. Ty Trevor for your words. The truth matters.....always.
