“Daily Show” host Trevor Noah isn’t sure why media is hesitant to call the shooting in Colorado Springs terrorism.

“Everyone can agree is this was a horrible tragedy,” Noah said on Monday’s episode. “But there’s another question that hasn’t been answered yet.”

Noah then played a mash-up cable news clips all asking the same question: Is this terrorism?

“I don’t understand. Why is everyone asking if you can call it terrorism? Just call it terrorism,” Noah said. “It’s not like it’s a liquor license. Whose approval are you waiting for, right? The Council Of Terrorism?”
