The ability to speak to people that don't agree with you calmly and come to an agreeable understanding is a very powerful skill. It seems this man has it. Those are the kind of people that change minds whether for good or bad.

Outstanding interview! Trevor is so much more than a great comedian.

Funny the name is Comedy Central but the news analysis is real and serious

This guy is a goddamn role model! I guess being a democrat in Texas is a really humbling and character building experience.

Thank you for having Joaquin on your show. I’m from Texas I live in San Antonio and I can’t even tell you proud I am of the Castro’s.

Conversing with the other side is very important in solving a political problem.

I enjoyed this interview. Thanks, Daily Show!

Once again a great argument to get rid of the winner-takes-all electoral system. Most democratic nations don't have a single majority party (and no single minority party as well for that matter), so people always have to bridge partisan divides and tribalism doesn't breed as excessively as it does in the US. Time for the country that claims to bring democracy to all parts of the world to bring democracy to themselves...

2:02 It's not much to ask, to have Facebook do that in the US, or even to pass a law on disclosure. Facebook is already doing that in Ireland, blocking the swarm of ads from US religious groups, and requiring proof of residency

Not impressed by the dodging of the corrption question, but i really liked some other stuff. Open forum for people disagreeing with you is a great idea, that should be strongly encouraged

Well spoken man. 👏😌

Holy crap, there are Democrats in Texas?

He got nervous when asked the lobbying question. Trevor let him off easy.

I met Rep. Joaquin Castro and his brother Julian back in the 2004 Democratic primary season in Houston,Tx. Both of the brothers are rising stars in the Democratic Party. 🇺🇸

This was a great interview! Love you, Trevor.

I met Joaquin and his twin in 2011, they're so nice and bright.

Castro is a great guy, thank you Trevor for having him on your show! Excellent show!!!

Thanks Trevor for having my congressman on your show. He is an excellent representative for San Antonio, TX.

People like Joaquin Castro give me hope for the future.

Trevor Noah asks great questions.

He’s got my vote

Joaquin Castro can be the first Latino president.

What a wonderful man. He is so straight up in his objectives...Gotta love this guy!

Please run for President. Texas LOVES Joaquin and his brother!!!

Great interview from Trevor again

Thank you for doing a show like this man !

Thank you Mr. Castro. That's exactly what I've been saying about the 'paid for by' bit.

Beto O'Rourke will definitely beat Ted Cruz!

The presidential force is strong with this one.

He was our mayor here in San Antonio Texas Proud to see him hold it down in Congress

The reason they shouldn't give them money for the Border Wall Trevor is because it's a monumental waste of tens of billions of dollars that could go to help people, paying off our debt, or any number of other more useful things.

Trevor, you ask all the right questions. thank you for coming to America to help clear up our mess. i read your book of childhood.. amazing what you've created. god bless your mother's work in raising you ( I don't ever say that, but in this case...)

Love this guy

@ 3:13 The difference between a consultant and a lobbyist is like a taxi driver and mechanic. A taxi driver (consultant) has the car, has the license, and will take you to the specific place you need to go. A mechanic (Lobbyist) will tell you what your problem is, how he can fix it or make it better, and will push you for things you may not need but are beneficial for the mechanic. Cohen doesn't have a license, a car, or the expertise to be either. His only selling point was, "I know a guy...potus".

Señor Castro is one Awesome dude.

I think we just saw and listened to America's first Latino President. Please, no controversy in his past. Please, please, please, please, please!

I've worked in social media for 10 years, with 30 million views of my stuff, and I've covered politics with a PBS and Amazon series, and up until the 2016 elections I've never seen such hateful comments popping up on KZfaq, Twitter and FB. Hearing Castro tell us the Russians were sowing all the hatred to divide we Yanks rings true! I find it refreshing and of great comfort!

Incredible interview from two brilliant men.

Still hasn't swayed me from the belief that you have the best guests.

It’s so great to hear a US leader speak intelligently compassionately thoughtfully and with American values. I would vote for Mr. Joaquin Castro any day everyday

I don't think he dodged the question about lobbying at all. Great interview Trevor👍.

Mr. Castro is a person I would vote for. To have townhalls with people who disagree with you takes courage and wisdom.

I honestly think this is a dying subject. They keep going in circles about this Russia collusion. I can see why Trevor asked if Americans will care about the truth.

Definition of 'Bubble': Tronald DUMP's rally post election. Any mention of Pittsburg again? No.

Im fortunate enough to have lived in Texas my entire life and i have friends that are DACA dreamers and i support them 100%.

This dude is legit....too legit to quit.

I was among the first 20 comments, 51 likes and 180 views... and yes, I am from Nigeria!

Castro needs to be the Face of the Democrat party.

Wow! He sounds like Don Lamon. Ironic and look a little like him as well.

Why are we blaming Facebook? Why arent we blaming Citizens United? When you put democracy up for sale dont complain who buys it.

Meet your president 2024 . Go Boy !!

Is this the first time we see Trevor interview someone who's not from the daily show? lol

Thanks The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.☺ A Politician on MSM: can They Not be corporatists? Fine i'll Listen?

I don't have a problem with lobbying on behalf of the American people, but most lobbyists represent the interests of their corporate benefactors against the interests of ordinary citizens. Heck, often times they are the people writing the legislation. And, it was frankly a lie to say most lobbyists have an expertise in the field they're lobbying for. How many Congress people go straight from office to lobbyist. It is clearly ALL about access.

This politician is very candid, we all gets a glipmse into his industry infomation

Finally a guest on this show who is actively pursuing change and trying to win over both sides. I wish there were more like this instead of people acting outraged at the current situation with no actual suggestions for improvement, just throwing slander everywhere. Thats the Olivers show is so much better, they always analyse one situation, bring suggestions and do some stunts to bring attention to it.

The Congressman hit one of the most important issue in the mid term elections - listen to voters regardless of party.

Looks like the Cuban Sheldon. Waiting to hear Vazinga!

Why didn't they complain about DACA when it was initially enacted?

Well done Congressman, linking Cohen and Nunes. About time that someone called out that unspeakable 'public servant' Nunes. He needs to be reminded what flag pin he wears on his lapel.

Let's get our Democracy back... VOTE 'EM OUT 2018, 2020.

Respect

Dude. I'm Italian. If I tell my American friends to vote for a particular candidate, how is that illegal? Won't it be protected under the freedom of speech laws in my own country?

It's so nice of Trevor Noah to have Julian Castro on so when are you actually going to have Joaquin Castro on like you advertise to the entire world

This episode is pretty lit

"blessed that people (from abroad) have wanted to come here". In fact, there's a little town in NJ -really and island, which make their living from fishing and preparing and distributing crab, and they're going into bankruptcy because no Mexican women are allowed any more to arrive there to prepare the crab. "We're in self-preservation mode", said one who was interviewed.

This man and anyone who has his thought processes represents the future of our politics.

Joaquin and his twin brother Julian are fantastic. I live in San Antonio and I am predicting right now that Joaquin will be our president some day - hopefully soon. Julian was our mayor until Obama named him Secretary of HUD in 2014. Joaquin has been one of our representatives forever and he does an amazing job. I am hoping Joaquin will pick Julian to be his running mate for president because they are identical twins and pretty much impossible to tell apart and that would be hysterical.

Does everybody remember when Joaquin Castro not the guy talking but his brother with King Castro

Cohen as Michael Avenatti has said, is the Michael Angelo and Leonardo Da Vinci of our time. LOL.

I don't think you got a good answer to your question, Trevor. But, I also don't think that your guest was being evasive. I believe your question could have been framed better and that THAT would have lead to a better understanding. My understanding of what LEGAL lobbying involves is; getting insight from subject matter experts that routinely and reasonably get paid to give their advice to lawmakers. The wide variety of subjects that elected officials are expected to establish policy for THEORETICALLY can benefit from expert advice. The process gets muddled when lobbyists are effectively REPLACE the lawmakers; eliminating their actual involvement in the law making process and making a mockery of our democracy. As a pseudo journalists you can tell, and this question you asked in this part of your show as a matter of fact proves the point; trying to get a fair, honest, complete understanding of complex issues takes work. Getting fair, honest, intelligent insight from She's can be a great help. This is in fact the basis behind lobbying where lawmakers are concerned. Nobody can be expected to be an expert in everything. But, nobody HAS to be, either. We can count on having a few smart guys that know the laws relating to representing industries and special interests to Congress. If they are fair, honest and TRANSPARENT, then there is no PRINCIPLE reason for why our lawmakers shouldn't be able to leverage THEIR in-depth knowledge, wisdom and experience in making better laws and lasting policy.

Someone explain to me how lobbying isn't legalized bribery.

Here's my question for America: Why are you paying attention to the ADS on Facebook? The whole Russian interfering in the election by putting divisive ads on Facebook scandal flummoxes me because I don't use Facebook to read ads, I use it to interact with people I know.

He told me that his staff member were going to call me later that day on March 1st 2016 I had already talked to his staff members on the phone and they told me that as a representative he doesn't handle issues like this I just called his office 2 months ago in 2024 Anthony answered the phone and told me that he only deals with Federal matters this is a congressman and he's not supposed to be dealing with Federal matters Anthony then told me on a recorded call that he does not provide constituent services

watch the big blue puddle get swallowed up by the big red tide! LOL!

He's the best hope for the Democrats in 2020!

If all politicians interacted with their constituents like that, the world would be a better place.

Love those Castro brothers!

Jimmy Fallon is really good at not breaking character.

I will vote for him as POTUS

"Lobbying is when you give the money to me..."

I grew up in a #whitefragility bubble and the story hasn’t changed.

Ban them from Facebook because those pages get dark..

Can’t help but agree. I used to want to go to America to study or for holiday. Unfortunately I don’t anymore. (P.S, I’m Norwegian, I wish Trump would stop mentioning Norway. I don’t want my country associated with him. At all.)

i do understand his hesitance about answering the lobbying question... he'd be working himself into a corner if he admitted it was corruption outright. i think trevor's main goal was just to edge as much as possible out of him without pressing him too hard to answer. either way it's a conversation that needs to be had.

sawubona trevor

That's my Rep! 😬😬😬

am here and still watching the video but I comment 😬

I really like the way KZfaq will sometimes tell you who pays for a broadcaster. Like for RT it says funded by the Russian government. then you know who is providing the content and what bias or motive they have. Maybe Facebook should do the same, let people know if the page or ad is funded by Breitbart, Russia, a partisan organisation or a non profit.

With little notice, President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order that advocates say rolls back hard-fought victories for women in the workplace. Tuesday's "Equal Pay Day" - which highlights the wage disparity between men and women - is the perfect time to draw more attention to the president's action, activists say. On March 27, Trump revoked the 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order then-President Barack Obama put in place to ensure that companies with federal contracts comply with 14 labor and civil rights laws. The Fair Pay order was put in place after a 2010 Government Accountability Office investigation showed that companies with rampant violations were being awarded millions in federal contracts. In an attempt to keep the worst violators from receiving taxpayer dollars, the Fair Pay order included two rules that impacted women workers: paycheck transparency and a ban on forced arbitration clauses for sexual harassment, sexual assault or discrimination claims. Noreen Farrell, director of the anti-sex discrimination law firm Equal Rights Advocates, said Trump went "on the attack against workers and taxpayers." "We have an executive order that essentially forces women to pay to keep companies in business that discrimination against them, with their own tax dollars," said Farrell. "It's an outrage." Out of the 50 worst wage theft violators that GAO examined between 2005-2009, 60 percent had been awarded federal contracts after being penalized by the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. Similar violation rates were tracked through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Labor Relations Board. Now isn't that order very consistent with the sexual criminal confessions we all heard not once. but on two separate occasions during the Axis Hollywood bus. previous to that during his interview with Howard Stern. Former prosecutor Gov. FBI director Giuliani. Said those audiotaped criminal confessions were nothing more than locker room talk. Not according to criminal psychologist brain specialist those audiotaped criminal confessions were much more consistent with a jailhouse confession from one inmate to another. Or a prison reminiscence from one convict to another who are living out there sentencing in protective custody, for sexual crimes are classified as the weakest form of criminal conduct. Not to mention any other prosecutor in the country would take two audiotaped criminal confessions as enough evidence to prosecute. And then when you have 14 witnesses come forward and validate everything that was on those audiotaped criminal confessions.Would be enough evidence to convince any judge of a conviction. Well any judge except for that desperate week insecure impulsive poor specimen of a female judge that goes on and on about how great it is being a submissive trumpet blower. And you wonder why America has the highest violent crime rate in the world. You wonder why America has the highest drug addiction alcohol dependency in the world. And you wonder why America has the most overfed undernourished people in existence. is not all gloom and doom. We can deal with this situation. As a people as physically fit mentally sound and spiritually balanced Americans. At the same time we are dealing with the situation in life. Subconsciously spiritually there souls and spirits are being implemented with, all the pain suffering disease sickness illness torment and hunger that has been allowed to occur over the years manifesting into what it is today. Thanks to incompetent lazy ignorant reckless negligent vindictive criminal leaders supporters employees employers. And now going to get far worse if Donald Trump his submissive trumpet blowers desperately impulsive employees have their way. Now let us thank our heavenly father for allowing Ronald Reagan Donald Trump supporters followers employees like-minded people for subconsciously: coherently apparently volunteering their soul and spirit to function similar to an air purifier water filtration system steam cleaner rubber gloves sponge shield bedpan urinal ass wipes blowup doll. But plug tampon maxi pad diaper jump rope ankle weights wrist weights weighted vest punching bag so forth and so on. Etc. etc. and that is the short list of how their souls and spirits are being treated. Before we get into how their souls and spirits are going to be implemented with all the pain suffering disease sickness illness torment and hunger that has occurred over the years manifesting into what it is today. Keep in mind my submissive trumpet blowers the soul and spirit can endour one up to billions of years worth of pain suffering disease sickness illness torment and hunger .that is just a sample Of the miraculous power of spirituality eternal authority that exist beyond your comprehension for your life cannot commonly comprehend things past your life's expectancy. Now I wish and pray for my soul and spirit to be held spiritually accountable to the statements I proclaim. I guarantee you will never hear another body leader person of legal authority ever validate the statements they proclaim with that level of certainty. If the sun the father the Holy Spirit God the devil Lord Jesus or anyone else with true eternal power and authority over life and death. Felt differently about the statements on proclaiming the had four separate opportunities to keep me dead and silent. The bottom line is you're either part of the problem are part of the solution when it comes to equality between a man and a woman as well as respecting another persons physical freedom. See a dominant gentleman knows how to intelligently persuade passionately convincing a woman to have the desire to willingly want to share themselves romantically. your part of the problem are solution. Either way your being held spiritually accountable. One way comes with a pleasant form of rehabilitation physically mentally spiritually. And the other way is the opposite of the first way. Again I wish and pray for my soul and spirit to be held spiritually accountable to the statements I proclaim. I guarantee you will never hear another body leader person of legal authority ever validate the statements they proclaim with that level of certainty. One reason they don't know themselves therefore they have NO respect for themselves and can't respect others. Secondly is because they are not willing to hold themselves accountable to the way they live their life to the laws the put in place. For the laws they put in place will greatly influence whether you live and die Feeling accomplished being at peace. The bottom line is Donald Trump has been clinically diagnosed by scientists criminal psychologist brain specialist! Leading physicians As being physically and mentally submissive! To fill that massive void a weakness) His plan to stay on the top! Is by keeping the bottom sick week desperate hungry and malnourished and poor by recirculating dirty low-paying jobs that come from outdated power sources inferior materials and toxic substances. That have lived out there usefulness for they have been classified scientifically as petrified death! More commonly known as coal oil and gas dirtiest of all sand oil. Along with other toxic pesticides! Chemicals that never changed their killing composition. You cannot promote life by using a substance that diminishes the quality of our air water food and landscapes. Dirty low-paying jobs very few at that however will have a negative effect on hundreds of millions for only God knows how many generations dirty low-paying jobs that diminish the quality of our air water food and landscapes with the potential of causing environmental collapse there is no profit to be made in the demise of the planet businessman my ass! Just look at the BP oil spill. The man-made water crisis situation in Flint Michigan. The man-made water crisis situation at the military base known as Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The fly ash spill that occurred from Duke Power in North Carolina. Those are a few examples. . . Of the irreversible damage that comes from working with outdated power sources inferior materials toxic substances. That have been scientifically classified spiritually validated as being physically mentally useless therefore have no true value spiritually. Now a dominant gentleman or lady that knows how to demonstrate high-class sophistication which is femininity at its finest!! for it is raw wild naturally hard-core organically appealing truly captivating absolutely internal eternally spiritually sought after by the gods and goddesses of the ancient royalty, warrior elite...... knows the best way to stay on the top is by keeping the bottom confidently rising in the most efficient way that is humanly possible, allowing each generation to become stronger smarter healthier happier financially better off. For that possibility of a reality to come full circle. The people must have clean high-paying jobs that used new technology. Allowing the people to fully utilize on advanced self sustainable renewable power sources. New Age top notch materials resources, that you could use this much is you would like or need without leaving any excess toxic waste behind. equally as amazing our products can be) Manufactured mass-produced in state of the art facility's I am talking about clean high-paying jobs from coast-to-coast globally. That improve the quality of life by enhancing maintaining the quality of our air water food and landscapes! Products Imports exports personally professionally To the highest degree of standards. Clean high-paying jobs that will be available every day of the week every week of the month every month of the year. Throughout their life allowing them to have a retirement that they will be healthy and wealthy enough to enjoy. xox XXL=00

It's on us too, folks. Yeah, rules can be changed and tightened up to help, but ultimately it's on US to exercise critical thought, consult multiple sources, and be aware of the risk of confirmation bias and consciously take steps to reduce its influence over us. With great access to information and freedom of speech, comes great personal responsibility.

I'm sorry Trevor but @ 7:00 Dem Congressman Josh Gotthiemer is the most partisan.

Wait no book ? Way to disappoint my expectations

would be nice one day for a republican politician to talk this sanely and normally, but that's just not possible

How to fix the Sheeple-On-A-Jerk-Chain problem? How about we improve education so that we become a country of thoughtful, critical thinkers who can intelligently and astutely recognize propaganda?

Lobbying in legal corruption.

Trevor was impersonating FBI police officers working the FBI field office in Washington DC and his guest tonight is the man that asked him to do it

"How does this problem begin to get solved"? I'll help you Trevor, I'll lend you a mirror. Take a look at it.

Preventing this kind of exploitation is also on US THE PEOPLE Do your own research, LOOK UP who the hell you are voting for AND who you are voting against If you will not or cannot do that, please, for the rest of us, DON'T VOTE. Seriously, democracy requires a knowledgeable electorate, not one voting for who can shout louder or who has the best hair.

This individual was told by the Vice President he had to put money in my account and make sure that I didn't run out of money because he spent the last 30 years dipping into my income and overdrafting every bank account I have ever had he duplicated every purchase I had with Chase Bank he was caught doing it he was told that he had to put money in my bank account and he never once complied with the order order
