>> FROM COMEDY CENTRAL'S WORLD
NEWS HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK,
THIS IS "THE DAILY SHOW" WITH
JON STEWART.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: WELCOME TO "THE DAILY SHOW."
THANK YOU.
WE-- WE HAVE A VERY GOOD SHOW
TONIGHT, VERY, VERY GOOD SHOW
TONIGHT BECAUSE OF OUR GUEST.
WE ARE VISITED TODAY FORTUNATELY
BY MALALA YOUSAFZAI, WHO IS ONE
OF OUR FAVORITES.
SHE IS A YOUNG WOMAN--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
--WHO IS A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
RECIPIENT, WHICH I THINK IS
APROPOS FOR TODAY.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO-- I HAVE-- I
HAVE ONE JOB, AND IT'S A PRETTY
SIMPLE JOB.
I COME IN IN THE MORNING, AND
WE LOOK AT THE NEWS, AND I WRITE
JOKES ABOUT IT.
AND THEN I MAKE A COUPLE OF
FACES, AND-- LIKE A-- LIKE A
NOISE LIKE A RER.
AND THEN IT'S JUST CHA-CHING AND
I'M OUT THE DOOR.
( LAUGHTER )
BUT I DIDN'T DO MY JOB TODAY SO
I APOLOGIZE.
I GOT NOTHING FOR YOU IN TERMS
OF LIKE JOKES AND SOUNDS BECAUSE
OF WHAT HAPPENED IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
AND MAYBE IF I WASN'T NEARING
THE END OF THE RUN OR THIS
WASN'T SUCH A COMMON OCCURRENCE,
MAYBE I COULD HAVE PULLED OUT OF
THE SPIRAL, BUT I DIDN'T.
AND SO I HONESTLY HAVE NOTHING
OTHER THAN JUST SADNESS ONCE
AGAIN THAT WE HAVE TO PEER INTO
THE ABYSS OF THE DEPRAVED
VIOLENCE THAT WE DO TO EACH
OTHER AND THE NEXUS OF A JUST
GAPING RACIAL WOUND THAT WILL
NOT HEAL, YET WE PRETEND DOESN'T EXIST.
AND I'M CONFIDENT, THOUGH, THAT
BY ACKNOWLEDGING IT, BY STARING
INTO THAT AND SEEING IT FOR WHAT
IT IS, WE STILL WON'T DO JACK ( BLEEP ).
YEAH.
THAT'S US.
AND THAT'S THE PART THAT BLOWS
MY MIND.
I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE
POLITICAL ARGUMENT OF THE GUNS
AND THINGS-- WHAT-- WHAT BLOWS
MY MIND IS THE DISPARITY OF
RESPONSE BETWEEN WHEN WE THINK
PEOPLE THAT ARE FOREIGN ARE
GOING TO KILL US AND US KILLING OURSELVES.
IF THIS HAD BEEN WHAT WE THOUGHT
WAS ISLAMIC TERRORISM, IT WOULD
FIT INTO OUR-- WE INVADED TWO COUNTRIES
AND SPENT TRILLIONS
OF DOLLARS AND THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN LIVES
AND NOW FLY UNMANNED DEATH MACHINES
OVER FIVE OR SIX DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES, ALL TO KEEP AMERICANS SAFE.
WE GOT TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN--
WE'LL TORTURE PEOPLE.
WE GOTTA DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO
KEEP AMERICANS SAFE.
NINE PEOPLE SHOT IN A CHURCH.
WHAT ABOUT THAT?
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
CRAZY IS AS CRAZY IS RIGHT?
THAT'S THE PART THAT I CANNOT,
FOR THE LIFE OF ME, WRAP MY HEAD
AROUND, AND YOU KNOW IT.
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA GO
DOWN THE SAME PATH-- THIS IS A
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-- THEY'RE
ALREADY USING THE NUANCED
LANGUAGE OF LACK OF EFFORT FOR THIS.
THIS IS A TERRORIST ATTACK.
THIS IS A VIOLENT ATTACK ON THE
EMANUEL CHURCH IN SOUTH
CAROLINA, WHICH IS A SYMBOL FOR
THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
IT HAS STOOD IN THAT PART OF
CHARLESTON FOR 100 AND SOME
YEARS AND HAS BEEN ATTACKED
VICIOUSLY MANY TIMES, AS MANY
BLACK CHURCHES HAVE.
AND TO PRETEND THAT-- I HEARD
SOMEONE ON THE NEWS SAY,
"TRAGEDY HAS VISITED THIS CHURCH."
THIS WASN'T A TORNADO.
THIS WAS A RACIST.
THIS WAS A GUY WITH A RHODESIA
BADGE ON HIS SWEATER.
YOU KNOW, SO THE IDEA THAT-- YOU
KNOW, I HATE TO EVEN USE THIS
PUN, BUT THIS ONE IS BLACK AND WHITE.
THERE'S NO NUANCE HERE.
THIS IS-- AND WE'RE GOING TO
KEEP PRETENDING LIKE, "I DON'T
GET IT.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THIS ONE GUY LOST HIS MIND."
BUT WE ARE STEEPED IN THAT
CULTURE IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE
REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE IT, AND I
CANNOT BELIEVE HOW HARD PEOPLE
ARE WORKING TO DISCOUNT IT.
IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE ROADS
THAT BLACK PEOPLE DRIVE ON ARE
NAMED FOR CONFEDERATE GENERALS
WHO FOUGHT TO KEEP BLACK PEOPLE
FROM BEING ABLE TO DRIVE FREELY
ON THAT ROAD.
THAT'S-- THAT'S INSANITY.
THAT'S RACIAL WALLPAPER.
THAT'S-- YOU CAN'T ALLOW THAT,
YOU KNOW.
NINE PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN A BLACK
CHURCH BY A WHITE GUY WHO HATED
THEM, WHO WANTED TO START SOME
KIND OF CIVIL WAR.
THE CONFEDERATE FLAG FLIES OVER
SOUTH CAROLINA, AND THE ROADS
ARE NAMED FOR CONFEDERATE
GENERALS, AND THE WHITE GUY IS
THE ONE WHO FEELS LIKE HIS COUNTRY
IS BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM.
WE'RE BRINGING IT ON OURSELVES.
AND THAT'S THE THING.
AL QAEDA, ALL THOSE GUYS, ISIS,
THEY'RE NOT ( BLEEP ) COMPARED
TO THE DAMAGE THAT WE CAN
APPARENTLY DO TO OURSELVES ON A
REGULAR BASIS.
SO OUR GUEST TONIGHT IS AN
INCREDIBLE PERSON WHO SUFFERED
UNSPEAKABLE VIOLENCE BY
EXTREMISTS, AND HER PERSEVERANCE
AND DETERMINATION THROUGH THAT
TO CONTINUE ON IS AN INCREDIBLE
INSPIRATION, AND TO BE QUITE
HONEST WITH YOU, I DON'T THINK
THERE'S ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD
I WOULD RATHER TALK TO TONIGHT
THAN MALALA.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
AND SORRY ABOUT NO JOKES.
( CHEERS )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: WELCOME BACK.
MY GUEST TONIGHT, SHE IS A
STUDENT STILL, ALSO A NOBEL
PEACE PRIZE LAUREATE, COFOUNDER
OF THE MALALA FUND.
SHE'S THE SUBJECT OF THE
FORTHCOMING DOCUMENTARY.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO SHOW YOU A TRAILER.
IT'S CALLED "HE NAMED ME MALALA."
>> THEY SHOT ME
ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY HEAD.
THEY THOUGHT THE BULLET WOULD
SILENCE US.
I AM THE SAME MALALA.
I'M STILL 17, STILL A TEENAGER.
SHE'S A LITTLE BIT NAUGHTY,
A LITTLE BIT--
THIS IS MY YOUNGEST BROTHER.
HE'S A REALLY GOOD BOY.
THIS IS THE LAZIEST ONE.
YOU THINK YOU COULD
EVER ASK A BOY OUT?
ROGER FEDERER.
YOU LIKE HIM?
I LIKE HIS HAIR CUT.
WHEN I THINK OF HOME, I MISS THE
DIRTY STREETS.
I MISS MY FRIENDS.
I JUST WANT TO SEE THAT HOUSE, JUST ONCE.
MY FATHER SAID, "HAVE YOU
FORGIVEN THE TALIBAN?"
YOU'VE NEVER FELT ANGRY?
NO.
I WANT PEOPLE TO LEARN FROM THE
EXPERIENCE I HAD.
I AM THOSE 66 MILLION GIRLS WHO
ARE DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION.
I'M NOT A LONE VOICE.
I AM MANY.
AND OUR VOICES ARE OUR MOST
POWERFUL WEAPONS.
ONE CHILD, ONE TEACHER,
ONE BOOK, AND ONE PEN,
THEY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
( APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: PLEASE WELCOME BACK
TO THE PROGRAM MALALA YOUSAFZAI.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
>> Jon: I FEEL BETTER ALREADY.
>> OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Jon: IT'S BEEN A ROUGH DAY.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON HUMANITY
THESE DAYS-- PRO OR AGAINST?
WHERE DO YOU HAVE US?
>> WELL, IT IS REALLY TRAGIC
NEWS WHAT HAPPENED, AND I HAVE
SEEN THESE KINDS OF SITUATIONS
IN MY LIFE WHEN THERE'S NO
JUSTICE, WHEN THERE'S NO HUMAN
FEELINGS, AND THERE'S NO
HUMANITY, AND FOR A SECOND YOU
THINK THAT NO ONE HAS FEELINGS
AT ALL.
BUT WE ARE-- OUR PRAYERS ARE
WITH THE FAMILIES AND WE PRAY
FOR PEACE.
WE PRAY FOR THE PROSPERITY OF EVERYONE.
>> Jon: IT'S INTERESTING
YOU SAID SOMETHING IN THE FILM
WHICH IS ONE VOICE.
AND THERE ARE MANY VOICES, AND I
THINK THE EASY THING TO FORGET
IS HOW EASY IT IS FOR DARKNESS
TO WREAK HAVOC AND TO FORGET
WE'RE REALLY MUCH MORE
SURROUNDED BY LIGHT
AND BY EDUCATION.
NOW, ARE YOU STILL IN SCHOOL?
>> YES.
I HAD JUST MY EXAMS.
G.S.E EXAMS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT.
>> Jon: THE G.S.E.?
ARE YOU IN COLLEGE?
ARE YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL?
>> I'VE STILL TWO YEARS TO COLLEGE.
>> Jon: STILL TWO YEARS
UNTIL COLLEGE?
>> YES.
>> Jon: YOU MIGHT WANT TO
WORK ON YOUR RESUME, BECAUSE A
LOT OF COLLEGES NOW ARE
REALLY-- YOU MAY GET VERY GOOD
TEST SCORES.
I'M NOT IN ANY WAY SAYING THAT
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET GOOD
TEST SCORES, BUT YOU ALSO NEED
SOME EXTRACURRICULARS.
( LAUGHTER )
WITHIN THAT, I MEAN, THE PEACE
PRIZE IS GOING TO GET YOU SO
GOOD, BUT THERE IS--
( LAUGHTER ).
>> NO, I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
I'M GOING TO HAVE WORK
EXPERIENCE FOR A WEEK AND GET
GOOD GRADES.
I HAD ONE MONTH EXAM AND I
WORKED SO HARD.
>> Jon: HOW LONG?
>> ONE MONTH.
>> Jon: THE EXAM WAS ONE
MONTH LONG?
>> 12th OF MAY TO 12th OF JUNE.
>> Jon: FOR SCHOOL?
>> YES.
>> Jon: CAN I TELL YOU WHAT OUR SCHOOLS
DO HERE IN AMERICA?
( LAUGHTER )
WHERE THEY TAKE-- I THINK IT'S,
LIKE, A HALF A DAY OF TESTS AND
THEN THEY SHOW "AKEELAH AND THE BEE"
THE REST OF THE WEEK.
WHICH IS JUST A MOVIE.
>> OKAY. I WISH I WAS HERE.
I WISH I WAS HERE.
>> Jon: NO.
IT'S INTERESTING, WHEN I WATCHED
THE FILM, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT--
IN SOME WAYS, THE WORLD HAS BEEN
SOMEWHAT UNFAIR TO YOU, IN THAT
IT HAS PLACED A BURDEN UPON YOU
THAT I THINK IS-- THAT YOU ARE
SOMEHOW AN ETHEREAL CREATURE
THAT MUST SAVE US.
AND I THINK WHAT'S NICE ABOUT
THE FILM IS TO SEE YOU AS-- YOU
SEE YOURSELF AS I'M AN ORDINARY
GIRL MAYBE REPRESENTING
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
ORDINARY GIRLS WHOSE COURAGE IS
THE SAME IN PAKISTAN AND ALL
OVER THE WORLD AS THEY JUST
STRIVE FOR AN EDUCATION.
IS THAT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
>> I THINK I HAVE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE MY VOICE,
AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S NOT
JUST-- I'M NOT REPRESENTING
ONLY MYSELF BUT I AM SPEAKING UP FOR
ALL GIRLS WHO ARE DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION.
THERE ARE ABOUT 66 MILLION
GIRLS, AND I THINK I'M SPEAKING
UP FOR THEM.
AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE DO THINK
THAT IT HAS BEEN FORCED UPON ME
OR I HAVEN'T CHOSEN THIS LIFE,
BUT THE REALITY IS I HAVE CHOSEN THIS LIFE.
AND IF I WOULDN'T HAVE LIKED IT,
I COULD HAVE SAID NO
AFTER THAT TAKE AND WOULD
HAVE SAID I DON'T WANT TO COME
OUT AND SPEAK AGAIN.
BUT I DO FEEL A RESPONSIBILITY,
AND I DO FEEL THAT IT'S MY DUTY
TO SAY WHAT'S RIGHT, AND IT'S
NOT THAT-- SOMETIMES WE WAIT FOR
OTHERS AND THINK THAT MARTIN
LUTHER SHOULD RAISE AMONG US,
NELSON MANDELA SHOULD RAISE
AMONG US AND SPEAK UP FOR US,
BUT WE NEVER REALIZE THAT THERE ARE
NORMAL HUMANS LIKE US, AND IF WE
STEP FORWARD WE CAN ALSO BRING
CHANGE JUST LIKE THEM.
>> Jon: RIGHT. NO, IT'S INSPIRING,
ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO THINK-- YOU
HAVE TWO BROTHERS.
>> YES.
>> Jon: ARE YOU THE OLDEST?
>> YES, I AM THE OLDEST.
>> Jon: AND I HAVE TO THINK
FOR THEM TO COME HOME AND SAY,
"I GOT IN THE SCHOOL PLAY!"
( LAUGHTER )
AND THEN YOU COULD JUST BE LIKE,
"IS IT ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW,
BEING AWARDED A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE?"
AND YOU CAN TAUNT THEM.
AND IT'S CLEAR IN THE FILM, YOU
ENJOY TAUNTING THEM.
( LAUGHTER )
>> I THINK THEY SHOULD BE NICE TO ME.
( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: YES, I THINK THAT'S TRUE.
THE LITTLE ONE HAS A-- THERE'S A
VERY, VERY FUNNY-- YOU TWO SEEM
TO HAVE A VERY PLAYFUL
RELATIONSHIP.
>> YES, AND IN THE TRAILER, I
PRAISED HIM BUT I'M KIND OF
REGRETTING WHY I PRAISED HIM,
BECAUSE HE IS GETTING A BIT KIND OF
NOT THE GOOD BROTHER.
>> Jon: REALLY?
SO HE'S A LITTLE NAUGHTY.
THE OLDER BROTHER SEEMED TO BE THE--
HE WAS KNOWN AS THE LAZY ONE IN
THE CLIP.
BUT THE LITTLE ONE YOU FELT WAS
VERY GOOD, A LITTLE BIT NAUGHTY?
HE'S GOING FULL-BLOWN NAUGHTY?
>> YES.
>> Jon: AND YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT WHAT YOU DO IS YOU LOVE
YOUR COUNTRY.
AND YOU LOVE YOUR RELIGION, AND
YOU'RE NOT LOOKING TO-- YOU'RE
LOOKING TO JUST SPEAK FOR PEOPLE
WHO WANT AN EDUCATION.
>> DEFINITELY.
I HAVE TRUE LOVE FOR MY COUNTRY,
AND WHEN I GOT THE NOBEL PEACE
PRIZE KAILASH SATYARTHI
THE CO-WINNER HE WAS GOING BACK
TO HIS COUNTRY, INDIA, WHILE WE
WERE GOING BACK TO THE U.K.,
SO MY MOTHER
FELT REALLY SAD, AND SHE EVEN
CRIED THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK TO OUR COUNTRY.
SO I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL GET THIS
CHANCE TO SEE OUR COUNTRY, TO
SEE OUR LAND, TO SEE OUR PEOPLE.
AND I THINK IT'S SUCH A PRECIOUS
THING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU ARE
ON YOUR LAND AND YOU ARE WITH
YOUR PEOPLE, WITH YOUR
RELATIVES, WITH YOUR FRIENDS.
AND I THINK WHOEVER HAS THIS
OPPORTUNITY SHOULD BE THANKFUL,
AND WE HOPE TO SEE OUR LAND.
>> Jon: THE FOOTAGE FROM
SWAT VALLEY IS BEAUTIFUL.
IT LOOKS LIKE A SORT OF A MAGICAL PLACE.
>> DO YOU STILL THINK IT'S AS
BEAUTIFUL AS NEW JERSEY?
( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO
SAY, I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE
PAYING ATTENTION DURING
THE LAST INTERVIEW.
SO NOW, NOW I HAVE TO THINK BACK
TO ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS I SAID.
WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK-- I
WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE
EDUCATION WORK, ESPECIALLY, THE
STUFF THAT IN THE FILM ESPECIALLY
DOING IN AFRICA.
WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK MORE
WITH MALALA YOUSAFZAI, RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: WELCOME BACK TO THE
THE PROGRAM.
WE'RE TALKING WITH MALALA
YOUSAFZAI, AWARDED A NOBEL PEACE
PRIZE LAUREATE.
THE EDUCATION FUND, AND YOU TALK
ABOUT THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE--
THERE'S A LOT IN THE FILM OF YOU
VISITING THESE SCHOOLS.
EDUCATION IS SOMETHING THAT IS A
GENERATIONAL BENEFIT, AND WILL
TAKE TIME.
DO YOU GET IMPATIENT SOMETIMES
WITH THE PROGRESS OF IT?
OR DO YOU SEE ENOUGH THAT IT
LIFTS YOU ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING?
>> I DO GET DEPRESSED WHEN I SEE
THAT THERE ARE 57 MILLION CHILDREN
WHO ARE DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION,
ONLY AT THE PRIMARY LEVEL, AND
THEN THERE ARE GIRLS, BRILLIANT
GIRLS WHO CAN-- WHO HAVE BIG
DREAMS BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET EDUCATION.
SO IT IS DISAPPOINTING, BUT WHEN
YOU SEE BRILLIANT GIRLS WHO HAVE
THIS COURAGE TO STAND UP FOR
THEIR RIGHTS, LIKE MOZOUN,
WHO IS A SYRIAN REFUGEE
AND NOW LIVES IN JORDAN.
AND SHE'S A WONDERFUL GIRL, AND
I HAVE MET HER, AND NOW SHE IS
HELPING GIRLS AND BOYS IN HER
COMMUNITY, IN THE CAMP SHE'S
LIVING, TO GO TO SCHOOL.
AND SHE'S ENCOURAGING THEM.
I HAVE MET MANY GIRLS IN NIGERIA
WHEN I WENT THERE TO RAISE MY
VOICE FOR THE KIDNAPPEES IN NIGERIA.
I MET BRILLIANT GIRLS THERE AS WELL.
AND FROM PAKISTAN.
SO IT'S REALLY NICE
TO SEE THEM SPEAKING.
AND I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE, WHEREVER
I GO, I ENCOURAGE CHILDREN AND
PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD NOT WAIT
FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO
SPEAK UP FOR THEM.
IT'S-- THEIR VOICES ARE REALLY
POWERFUL AND THEY SHOULD SPEAK
UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS.
>> Jon: IT'S SO INTERESTING
WHEN YOU WERE IN-- AND I CAN'T
REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS,
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN NIGERIA,
WHERE YOU WERE TALKING TO A
BUNCH OF SCHOOL GIRLS AND SCHOOL
BOYS AND YOU WERE SAYING
WHO WANTS TO BE A LAWYER,
WHO WANTS TO BE A DOCTOR?
AND SOMEONE WOULD RAISE THEIR
HANDS-- A VARIETY OF THEM-- AND I
THINK YOU SAID OR MAYBE YOUR
FATHER SAID, "WHO AMONG YOU HAS
PARENTS WHO ARE EDUCATED, WHO
HAVE BEEN TO SCHOOL?"
>> NO.
>> Jon: NOT ONE, NOT ONE HAND.
THIS IS REALLY THE FIRST
GENERATION IN MANY OF THESE
AREAS THAT HAVE EVER BEEN
EXPOSED TO THIS.
>> SO IT WAS REALLY
DISAPPOINTING WHEN I WENT TO
KENYA THAT THESE GIRLS, THEY
HAVE THIS DREAM TO GO TO SCHOOL.
THEY WISH FOR NOTHING ELSE, AND
THIS AMBITION TO HELP THEIR
COMMUNITY, TO HELP PEOPLE, BUT
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS IN
SOCIETY THAT ARE STOPPING THEM,
IT'S REALLY DISAPPOINTING.
IN SOME PLACES THEY DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH MONEY.
IN SOME PLACES, EDUCATION IS NOT FREE.
IN SOME PLACES, THERE ARE
CULTURAL ISSUES.
SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE NOW KIND OF
TELLING THE WORLD LEADERS,
ASKING THEM, 12 YEARS OF
EDUCATION SHOULD BE MADE FREE,
AND THIS IS OUR DEMAND FOR THE
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS,
AND I HOPE THAT WHEN THE WORLD
LEADERS, THEY COME TOGETHER,
AND THEY MAKE THESE GOALS,
THEY NEED TO THINK ABOUT
THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.
AND IT'S NOT JUST THEIR EDUCATION.
IT'S THEIR FUTURE --
>> AND OUR FUTURE.
>> DEFINITELY.
>> Jon: WITHOUT THEM, IT
DOESN'T WORK.
IT'S SO INTERESTING-- BOY, YOU
DON'T HOLD BACK.
YOU MET WITH PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA, AND TOLD HIM, MAN
DRONE STRIKES, NO BUENO.
YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T USE SPANISH.
BUT YOU SAID NO DON'T DO THAT.
AND WHEN YOU WENT TO NIGERIA AND
SAID, "GOODLUCK JONATHAN, YOU
HAVE TO DO MORE AND YOU HAVE TO
LISTEN TO YOUR PEOPLE
AND GET THESE RULES."
AND YOU CAN ALMOST SEE, YOU
KNOW, THERE'S THE FOOTAGE AND
GOODLUCK JONATHAN WHO IS
NO LONGER THE LEADER THERE.
HE REALLY WAS KIND OF TAKEN ABACK.
AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL IN ITS VERY
CONCISE HONESTY.
>> YES, I THINK YOU HAVE TO
SOMETIMES IGNORE ALL THE FORMAL
STUFF AND TELL THE TRUTH.
>> Jon: BOY, YOU REALLY ARE
A TEENAGER.
THAT IS WHAT THEY DO, I THINK.
>> YES.
SO BE STRAIGHTFORWARD
AND TELL THE TRUTH.
THIS IS GOING WRONG.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
THE WORLD LEADERS TO THINK THEIR
DECISION, WHAT'S THE IMPACT OF
THEIR DECISIONS ON COMMON PEOPLE
AND WHO IS-- WHO GETS AFFECTED.
>> Jon: RIGHT.
>> AND ALL THESE WARS,
CONFLICTS, INNOCENT PEOPLE, THEY
GET KILLED, GET INJURED, THEY
BECOME HOMELESS, THEY BECOME MIGRANTS.
AND IT'S TRAGIC BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO SUFFER FOR THEIR WHOLE
LIFE, SO NOW I THINK THE WORLD
LEADERS NEED TO BE QUITE SERIOUS NOW.
>> Jon: AND EVEN GOING AND
JUST BEARING WITNESS TO THEIR--
TO THEIR DESPAIR I THINK IS
IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY DO-- YOU
KNOW, IN SYRIA, THEY HAD A LIFE,
AND THIS CONFLICT-- THERE'S
MILLIONS THAT HAVE HAD TO FLEE.
THEY WERE SHOPKEEPERS AND
ACCOUNTANTS AND DENTISTS AND NOW
THEY LIVE IN A DESERT AND THEY
HAVE TO KNOW THEY'RE NOT
FORGOTTEN.
>> DEFINITELY.
IN SOME COUNTRIES THEY ARE NOT
EVEN GIVEN IDENTITY.
THEY ARE NOT EVEN-- THEY'RE NOT
EVEN ACCEPTED AS REFUGEES.
IT'S REALLY TRAGIC.
AND I THINK RATHER THAN-- RATHER
THAN WE THINKING THEY SHOULD BE
HELPED, I THINK WE OURSELVES
SHOULD COME FORWARD AND WE
SHOULD HELP THEM AND WE SHOULD
ALSO ASK THE WORLD LEADERS, ALL
THE COUNTRIES THAT THEY SHOULD
TAKE IT SERIOUS.
>> Jon: NORMALLY THIS IS
THE PART I WOULD TURN TO THE
CAMERA AND PROMOTE WHATEVER
INSTALLMENT OF "JURASSIC WORLD"
YOU WERE PROMOTING
BUT I'M JUST GONNA SAY
THE NAME OF YOUR ORGANIZATION--
>> THE MALALA FUND.
>> Jon: THE MALALA FUND.
AND PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED.
>> YES. DEFINITELY.
AND I WOULD ASK ALL MY FRIENDS,
ALL MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS, YOU
HAVE ALREADY SUPPORTED US A LOT,
AND SUPPORT US MORE SO WE CAN
HELP MORE CHILDREN.
AND GIRLS LIKE MOZOUN,
GIRLS LIKE AMINA IN NIGERIA,
SO THEY CAN GO FORWARD.
THEY CAN GET THEIR EDUCATION,
AND THEY CAN RAISE THEIR VOICE.
>> Jon: I HAVE TO TELL YOU
THAT YOU ARE A WONDERFUL TONIC
FOR-- I FELT SOMEWHAT DESPARING
TODAY, BUT I THINK YOUR SINGLE
MINDEDNESS HAS HELPED LIFT A BIT
OF THAT FOG FOR ME, AND I REALLY
THANK YOU FOR THAT, EVEN THOUGH
THAT IS NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO DO THAT.
BUT THANK YOU.
"HE NAMED ME MALALA"
IT'S GONNA BE IN THEATERS ON OCTOBER 2nd.
AND IF YOU WANT TO DONATE MALALA FUND
AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE FILM
WWW.MALALA.ORG.
MALALA YOUSAFZAI, THANK YOU.
( APPLAUSE )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Jon: THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US.
SOMETIMES IT'S NICE TO REMEMBER,
SOMETIMES IT'S NICE TO REMEMBER
THAT IT IS A BIG WORLD, AND THERE ARE
A LOT OF REALLY GOOD PEOPLE OUT
THERE WORKING TO MAKE IT BETTER.
THAT'S OUR SHOW.
HERE IT IS, YOUR MOMENT OF ZEN.
>> COULD WE NOT ARGUE THAT
AMERICA IS ABOUT FREEDOM,
WHETHER WE LIVE IT OUT OR NOT,
BUT IT REALLY IS ABOUT FREEDOM,
EQUALITY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
AND THAT'S WHAT CHURCH IS ALL ABOUT,
FREEDOM TO WORSHIP AND
FREEDOM FROM SIN, FREEDOM TO BE
FULL WHAT GOD INTENDS US TO BE,
AND TO HAVE EQUALITY IN THE
SIGHT OF GOD.
