ON, EVERYBODY, WELCOME TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW,
I’M TREVOR NOAH.
TODAY IS THURSDAY, THE 12th
OF NOVEMBER, WHICH MEANS THE NEW
XBOX AND THE NEW PLAY STATION
CONSOLES ARE OFFICIALLY OUT.
THAT MEANS THERE IS ANOTHER
CONTESTED ELECTION THAT PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO BE FIGHTING OVER
FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
I CAN’T HANDLE THIS STRESS!
ANYWAY COMING UP ON TONIGHT’S
SHOW, WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM
AFRICA, THE DONALD WENT DOWN TO
GEORGIA AND MEGAN RAPINOE AND
FORREST WHITAKER ARE OUR GUESTS
ON THE SHOW.
SO LET’S DO THIS, PEOPLE.
WELCOME TO THE DAILY SOCIAL
DISTANCING SHOW.
FROM TREVOR’S COUCH IN NEW
YORK CITY TO YOUR COUCH
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD, THIS IS
THE DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW
WITH TREVOR NOAH.
Trevor: LET’S TALK ABOUT
CORONAVIRUS.
YOU KNOW, IT IS A THING YOU ARE
PRETTY SURE YOU HAD IN FEBRUARY
BUT ACTUALLY DIDN’T.
THE WORLD IS NOW DEEP INTO THE
SECOND WAVE OF THIS PANDEMIC, OR
MAYBE THE THIRD WAVE, OR THE
FOURTH.
I DON’T KNOW.
AT THIS POINT COVID HAS SO MANY
WAVES IT IS LIKE THOSE PALS AT
THE AMUSEMENT PARK WHICH IS ALSO
BIG SPREADERS OF EXOTIC DISEASE
AND AFTER DOING A LITTLE BET
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTH,
UNFORTUNATELY THE U.S. SHOWS NO
SIGNS OF GETTING OUT OF THE
POOL.
THE NEW EXPLOSION OF CASES IN
THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS, IF YOU
HEARD THIS, THE U.S. REPORTED A
RECORD-SHATTERING NUMBER OF NEW
INFECTIONS.
FOR THE FIRST TIME ALL 50
STATES REPORTED INCREASE IN
CASES, SHOCKING SEVEN DAY
AVERAGES IN KANSAS AT 41
PERCENT.
IOWA AT 48%, SOUTH DAKOTA AT AS
TON YOU WERING 54%.
NEW RESTRICTIONS ARE ABOUT TO
GO INTO EFFECT IN NEW YORK
STATE, BEGINNING TOMORROW ALL
BARS AND RESTAURANTS MUST CLOSE
FOR DINING AT 10 P.M., GYMS MUST
ALSO CLOSE AT 10 P.M., AND ALL
PRIVATE GATHERINGS MUST BE
LIMITED TO TEN PEOPLE OR LESS.
A PASSENGER ON BOARD THE
FIRST CRUISE TO SET SAIL IN THE
CARIBBEAN SINCE MARCH REPORTEDLY
TESTING POSITIVE FOR THE
CORONAVIRUS.
ALL PASSENGERS WERE TESTED
BEFORE BOARDING BUT ON TUESDAY
ONE FELT SICK AND TESTED
POSITIVE.
ALL GUESTS ARE NOW QUARANTINING
IN THEIR ROOMS.
OKAY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING.
WHY ARE THEY HAVING CRUISES
DURING A PANDEMIC.
BUT I ACTUALLY THINK THAT THEY
SHOULD BE MORE CRUISES, IN FACT
I THINK THERE SHOULD BE FREE
CRUISES FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS
ONE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE
PEOPLE WHO LOVE SPREADING THE
VIRUS.
IT’S BETTER TO GET THEM ALL ON
BOATS AND PUT THEM SAFELY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN AND LEAVE
THEM THERE FOR SIX MONTHS, IF
CORONA DOESN’T GET THEM, THE
BUFFER AYE WILL, GOOD RID ANSZ,
JOES, AND BEST BELIEVE PEOPLE
WILL BE ANGRY THAT JOE IS-- BUT
REALLY DEEP DOWN INSIDE THEY ARE
HAPPY BECAUSE PEOPLE LOVE HAVING
A REASON TO NOT WORKOUT.
I MEAN NOT ME, YESTERDAY I WAS
PLANNING TO WORK OUT BUT THEN I
HAD TO CANCEL BECAUSE I THINK I
HAVE GOT A CRAMP IN MY EAR LOBE,
I JUST DON’T WANT TO RISK IT,
BUT TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE N
SOME STATES THE CORONAVIRUS
POSITIVE ITERATE IS AROUND 50%
RIGHT NOW.
SO IF YOU LIVE IN SOUTH DAKOTA
OR IOWA, LOOK AT THE PERSON TO
YOUR LEFT, NOW THE PERSON TO THE
YOUR RIGHT, WHY ARE YOU SITTING
BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, YOU ARE
GOING TO GET CORONAVIRUS.
SO YES, CORONAVIRUS IS GETTING
WORSE AND WORSE AS THE WINTER
MONTHS ARRIVE.
AND WITH THINGS SPIRALING OUT OF
CONTROL JUST IN TIME FOR THE
HOLIDAYS, THE CDC HAS ISSUED NEW
GEUD LINES FOR HOW FAMILIES CAN
HAVE A SAFE THANKSGIVING.
TO WHICH SOME FAMILIES ARE
SAYING MIND YOUR OWN GODDAM
BUSINESS.
EXPERTS SAYING HALF OF ALL
AMERICANS PLAN TO TRAVEL FOR THE
HOLIDAYS, GOING AGAINST THOSE
NEW CDC GUIDE LINES WHICH
RECOMMEND CELEBRATING
THANKSGIVING VIRTUALLY OR ONLY
WITH PEOPLE IN YOUR OWN
HOUSEHOLD AND PREFERABLY
OUTSIDE, FOR INDOOR DINNERS THE
CDC SAYS KEEP THE WINDOWS OPEN,
SPREAD OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
AND WEAR MASKS.
WHAT ABOUT CHRISTMAS, WHAT
ARE WE GOING TO DO FOR
CHRISTMAS.
WE LOST THE SUMMER, NOW WE
WILL LOSE THANKSGIVING.
YOU AND I ARE BOOTH ITALIAN,
TELL ITALIANS NOT TO GET
TOGETHER ON THE HOLIDAYS IS
PRETTY TOUGH.
Trevor: HONESTLY I KNOW IT
SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE BUT I THINK
IT IS GREAT FOR PEOPLE TO GATHER
DURING A PANDEMIC TO CELEBRATE
THANKSGIVING BECAUSE ISN’T THAT
WHAT THANKS GIVING IS ALL ABOUT,
SPREADING A DISEASE THAT WIPES
OUT A CONTINENT?
I’M ACTUALLY SURPRISED
REPUBLICAN STILL WANT THANKS
GIVING THIS YEAR.
AFTER JOE BIDEN WON, CAN YOU
IMAGINE WHAT THANKSGIVING IS
GOING TO BE LIKE.
THEM MILLENIAL NEETIONS AND
NEPHEWS WILL BE SHOWING UP LUKE
THEY OWN THE PLACE, WALKING
AROUND LIIC DAMN, THESE MASHED
POTATOES ARE DISAPPEARING FASTER
THAN YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT
RIGHTS, UNCLE STEVE.
HA HA.
NOW WHILE THINGS ARE PARTICULAR
LEIGH BAD IN THE U.S. I DO THINK
IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
THIS IS A GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
FROM THE DEMOCRAT, NOT FROM THE
REP-- IT IS GLOBAL.
RIGHT NOW EUROPE IS ALSO SEEING
A GIANT SPIKE ALTHOUGH OVER
THERE IT IS NOT CIRCUMCISED.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING THROUGH
THIS, PEOPLE, BUT THERE IS ONE
PLACE WHERE THEY DO SEEM TO HAVE
MANAGED THE VIRUS BETTER AND
THAT PLACE MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
BECAUSE YOU’RE RACIST.
WHEN COVID JUST STARTED TO
SWEEP THE GLOBE, EXPERTS
PREDICTED AFRICAN-- AFRICA WOULD
BE DEF STITTED WITH MILLIONS OF
LIVES LOST BUT SIX PONTS LATER
THE CONTINENT SEEMS TO BE DOING
MUCH BETTER THAN ANTICIPATED.
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
SAYS AFRICA IS LEADING THE WORLD
IN ITS OVERALL RESPONSE TO THE
COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
THE.
THE UNITED STATES IS A
COUNTRY OF ABOUT 326 MILLION
PEOPLE, RIGHT.
WE HAVE 228,000 PEOPLE DEAD.
THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA,
THEY HAVE ONLY HAD 41,000
DEATHS.
EXPERTS ARE GOING TO EXPLAIN
THIS, THEY ARE BAFFLED AS WELL,
WHY THE NUMBER OF CASES
CUMULATIVELY HAVE REMAINED SO
LOW COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE
WORLD.
YES, MANY PEOPLE NEVER
EXPECTED THAT AFRICA OF ALL
PLACES WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE
COVID-19.
COULD YOU SEE THEM NOW, THEY ARE
ALL LIKE HOW IS AFRICA SO
SUCCESSFUL AT THIS?
I MEAN I COULD UNDERSTAND IF
THIS WAS A MARATHON OR CARRYING
STUFF ON YOUR HEAD CONTEST BUT
THIS IS A DEADLY DISEASE, HOW
ARE THEY DOING IT.
FIRST OFF, THAT ATTITUDE IS
OFFENSIVE.
AND SECONDLY HELL YEAH WE WOULD
WIN A CARRYING STUFF ON YOUR
HEAD CONTEST, I ALWAYS SAID IT
IS RACIST WHY IT IS NOT AN
OLYMPIC SPORT, SOME CAN SHAKE A
RIBON AND WIN A MEDAL, HOW COME
WE CAN’T BALANCE BUCKETS AN GET
GOLD.
WITH HOW WELL AFRICA IS DOING
MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE SENDING
THEIR 22 YEAR OLDS TO AMERICA SO
THEY CAN ALSO HELP OUT AND ALSO
GET SOME OF THOSE GREAT PICTURES
FOR THEIR UNDERSTAND GRAM.
SO WHY HAS AFRICA BEEN MORE
SUCCESSFUL AT CONTROLLING A
DEADLY DISEASE.
ONE REASON MIGHT BE THAT THEY
HAVE HAD A LOT OF PRACTICE.
PECKS ERT-- EXPERTS SAY SOME
AFRICAN NATIONS EXPERIENCE WITH
PREVIOUS VIRAL OUTBREAKS LIKE
THE EBOLA AND MARBURG VIRUSES
MEANS IT WAS ALREADY PREPARED TO
DEAL WITH COVID-19.
WE HAVE SYSTEMS IN FOR THOSE
DISEASE HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY REUSE
AND READAPTED FOR COVID.
THEY ALREADY HAVE COMMUTE
WORKERS, HEALTH WORKERS WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING WITH DEALING WITH
PANDEMICS IN SOUTH AFRICA THEY
WENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITIES,
DOOR TO DOOR GETTING PEOPLE TO
GET TESTED FOR CORONAVIRUS SO
THEY ACTUALLY WENT OUT, HUNTING
FOR THE VIRUS.
IN LIBERIA’S CAPITOL MONROVIA
RESIDENTS ARE TAKING MATTERS
INTO THEIR OWN HANDS BY SETTING
UP NEIGHBORHOOD CHECKPOINTS TO
SCROON THE TEMPERATURES OF THOSE
WHO ENTER, A STRATEGY USED
DURING THE EBOLA OUTBREAK.
YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE TAP
ELBOWS TO GREET NOW, THAT WAS
ALREADY USED IN WESTAFER KA
DURING THE 2014 TO 2016 EBOLA
OUTBREAK.
THEY CALLED IT THE ELBOW-LA
THEN.
YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY MANY
AFRICANS HAVE BEEN MORE PREPARED
FOR CORONA BECAUSE THEY WERE
FORCED TO DEAL WITH EBOLA.
AND IF YOU HAVE I CORONA IS BAD,
EBOLA DOESN’T STAY AROUND, IT IS
LIKE IF CORONA WENT TO THE GYM,
ACTUALLY CORONA DOES GO TO THE
GYM T IS THERE, DON’T GO TO THE
GYM.
SEE HERE IS HOW IT WORKS, USING
BAD EXPERIENCES TO PREPARE FOR
WORST SITUATIONS COMES NATURALLY
TO AFRICANS, DO I IT TOO, IT IS
IN MY DNA.
LIKE I PREPARE FOR A POSSIBLE
FAMINE BY EATING AT THE CHEESE
CAKE FACT REAL ESTATE.
THAT MAY MY STOMACH IS LIKE HUH,
MAYBE STARVING WOULDN’T BE SO
BAD.
SO BECAUSE AFRICANS KNOW FIRST
HAND WHAT A DISEASE CAN DO TO
PEOPLE, THEY DIDN’T TAKE ANY
CHANCES WITH COVID-19.
MOST COUNTRIES HAD MANDATORY
MASK REQUIREMENTS.
AND THE COUNTRY EVEN IMPOSED A
NATIONWIDE LOCKDOWN BEFORE THEY
HAD A SINGLE CASE.
IMAGINE THAT.
BEFORE THEY HAD A CASE.
WHICH REMINDED ME OF HOW MY MOM
WOULD SOMETIMES BEAT MY ASS
BEFORE I DID SOMETHING WRONG.
BUT MOM, I HAVEN’T DONE
ANYTHING.
THIS IS FOR SOMETHING YOU
WERE THINKING OF DOING.
IT IS TRUE, I WAS GOING TO DO
IT.
SO AFRICAN NATIONS WERE ABLE
TO BUILD ON THEIR EXPERIENCE
FIGHTING OTHER OUTBREAKS.
THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT
IS WORKING IN THEIR FAVOR.
IT ACTUALLY SEEMS LIKE THE
AFRICAN PEOPLE THEMSELVES HAVE A
LOT OF BUILT-IN ADVANTAGES.
ONE REASON EXPERTS GUFER FOR
THE LOW DEATH RATE IS THE
CONTINENT’S YOUNG POPULATION.
ABOUT 50% OF THE PEOPLE LIVING
IN AFRICA ARE IN THEIR TEENS.
IN ADDITION ABOUT 40% OF
THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE WE ESTIMATE
HAD ASYMPTOMATIC INFECTION AND
THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE THEY HAD
BEEN EXPOSED TO OTHER
CORONAVIRUS THAT CAUSE THE
COMMON COLD EARLIER ON.
A KEY THEY BELIEVE THAT LOWER
BURDENEN OF SO CALLED DISEASES
OF LIFESTYLE LIKE OBESITY OR
HYPERTENSION.
BOTH THEY BELIEVE COULD LESSEN
THE SELFER RIT OF THE DISEASE.
THERE IS ANOTHER MORE UNUSUAL
HYPOTHESIS.
SM SCIENTISTS BELIEVE PARASITIC
WORMS COULD BE PROTECTING SOME
AFRICANS FROM THE FULL EFFECTS
OF COVID-19.
Trevor: OKAY, WOW, THAT IS
PRETTY WEIRD.
ONE THEORY SAYS THAT AFRICANS
HAVE PARASITIC WORMS WHICH
PROTECT THEM FROM CORONAVIRUS?
LIKE ALL AFRICANS?
I GUESS I SHOULD THANK YOU,
MR. WRIGGLES.
YOU WERE LOOKING OUT FOR ME.
YOU’RE WELCOME, TREVOR.
HOW ABOUT WE GET SOME PIZZA FOR
DINNER TONIGHT.
Trevor: YOU BET, BUDDY.
HE IS SLOWLY KILLING ME.
BUT YEAH, ONE OF THE MORE
INTRUSIVE REASONS FOR AFRICA’S
SUCCESS IS THAT AS A CONTINENT
THE PEOPLE ARE YOUNGER AND IN
BETTER SHAPE THAN IN OTHER
PLACES.
WHICH HELPS IN SURVIVING CORONA.
PLUS AFRICANS GET THAT SECRET
VACCINE THEY DEVELOPED IN
WAKANDA.
SO AFRICA AS A WHOLE IS DOING
BETTER THAN MORES OF THE WORLD
WHEN IT COMES TO MANAGING
COVID-19.
BUT DON’T FORGET, LUCK AND
CIRCUMSTANCES ASIDE, MOST OF
AFRICA’S SUCCESS HAS COME DOWN
TO LEADERSHIP.
MANY AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE
LEADERS WHO HAVE TAKEN THIS
DISEASE SERIOUSLY FROM THE START
AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THE PEOPLE
HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT SERIOUSLY.
AND HERE’S HOW YOU KNOW
LEADERSHIP MAKES A BIG
DIFFERENCE, BECAUSE SOME
COUNTRIES HAVE LEADERS WHO ARE
LIKE TRUMP.
AND JUST LIKE TRUMP THOSE
AFRICAN COUNTRIES ARE NOT DOING
WELL.
WHILE MANY COUNTRIES ARE
BEING PRAISED FOR THEIR APPROACH
TO CONTROLLING THE SPREAD OF
COVID-19 TANZANIA IS AN
EXCEPTION.
THE PRESIDENT JOHN MAGUFULI
HAS BEEN IN RECENT WEEKS
DOWNPLAYING THE RISK OF COVID-19
TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO WEAR
MASKS, THERE HAS BEEN VERY
LITTLE SOCIAL DISTANCING.
TANZANIA’S PRESIDENT HAS SAID
THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN HEALED OF
CORONAVIRUS THROUGH PRAY ARE, IT
IS AN ALMIGHTY CLAIM AND
DIFFICULT TO CHALLENGE BECAUSE
HIS GOVERNMENT HASN’T
RELEASESSED ANY DATA FOR WEEKS.
HE HAS BEEN SCEPTICAL OF THE
VIRUS AND HASEK OWED CONSPIRACY
THEORIES.
ON LIVE TELEVISION HE TOLD THE
NATION THAT THE COUNTRY’S
NATIONAL LABORATORY HAD INFLATED
CORONAVIRUS NUMBERS.
HE EVEN SENT SAMPLES OF FOOD TO
BE TESTED FOR THE VIRUS AS A WAY
TO EXPOSE FALSE POSITIVES.
Trevor: WOW.
I MEAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT
TRUMP BUT AT LEAST HE’S NOT
CLOGGING UP THE LABORATORIES
WITH FRUIT SAMPLES.
MOSTLY BECAUSE HE DOESN’T KNOW
WHAT A TREUT IS.
BUT STILL ALSO CAN YOU IMAGINE
IF TESTED POSITIVE FOR
CORONAVIRUS.
I MEAN HE WOULD BE CALLING UP
ALL THE OTHER FRUITS THAT WERE
NEXT TO HIM IN THE FRUIT SALAD,
HI, BLUE BERRIES, IT IS ME
MANGO, YEAH, I JUST TESTED
POSITIVE FOR COVID SO YOU MAY
WANT TO ISOLATE.
AND BY THE WAY, CAN YOU TELL
MELON FOR ME, THINGS HAVE BEEN
WEIRD FOR US EVER SINCE I TOLD
HIM THAT HE IS JUST IN THE SALAD
TO FILL IT UP.
WHICH IS TOTALLY TRUE BUT
WHATEVER.
OKAY, BYE.
SO LOOK, AFRICA HAS BEEN MUCH
LESS OF A NIGHTMARE AS IT HAS
BEEN ON OTHER CON TRUCTS.
BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND I’M IN THE
SAYING THIS TO BRAG OR ANYTHING,
LIKE AFRICANS ARE BETTER.
I’M SAYING IT BECAUSE THIS IS
GOOD NEWS FOR THE REST OF THE
WORLD IT SHOWS IF YOU TAKE
PRECAUTIONS AND YOU USE COMMON
SENSE, YOU CAN LIMIT THE SPREAD
AND THE HARM OF CORONAVIRUS.
SO PLEASE THIS IS THE ONE TIME
IT IS OKAY TO TAKE SOMETHING
AFRICANS CAME UP WITH AND CLAIM
IT AS YOUR OWN.
ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK BUT WHEN WE COME
BACK WE LOOK AT WHY GEORGIA IS
ON EVERYBODY’S MIND AND THEN
MEGAN RAP INO-- RAPINOE AND
FARREST WHITAKER ARE COMING UP ON THE SHOW, DON’T GO AWAY.
Trevor: WELCOME BACK TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW.
LET’S TALK ABOUT THE UNITED
STATES SENATE.
LIKE A RETIREMENT HOME THAT CAN
TAKE AWAY YOUR HEALTH CARE IT
WITH THE ELECTION DAY RESULTS
COMING IN, THE SENATE IS NOW
DIVIDED ALMOST EXACTLY IN HALF
BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS.
THERE WERE ACTUALLY TWO SENATE
ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA THAT
WEREN’T DECIDED LAST WEEK.
AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WILL
DETERMINE WHICH PARTY WINS THIS
TUG OF WAR.
TURNING TO GEORGIA WHERE THE
BALANCE OF POWER IN THE SENATE
WILL BE DECIDED IN JUST A COUPLE
OF PNTS FROM NOW.
THE PEACH STATE WILL HOLD A PAIR
OF RUNOFF ELECTIONS IN JANUARY
AFTER NEITHER RACE LANDED A WIN
WE ARE AT LEAST 50% OF THE VOTE.
THE TWO SENATE RUNOFFS
SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 5s WILL
NOW DETERMINE THE FATE OF THE
SENATE AND HOW MUCH LEGISLATION
MR. BIDEN IS ABLE TO GET PAST
NEXTIER.
BOTH PARTIES WILL BE POURING
TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO
THE CONTEST.
EVERY REPUBLICAN OF NAFT
PROFILE WILL HEAD TO GEORGIA AS
WELL AS PROMINENT DEMOCRAT, THE
SCUTTLEBUTT IS RATHER BIDEN STAY
AWAY AND OBAMA GO.
Trevor: DAMN, DEMOCRATS
WANT O BMA TO COME DOWN INSTEAD
OF JOE BIDEN.
MAN, ONCE YOU GO BARACK YOU
FEVER GO BACK.
POOR JOE BIDEN.
I MEAN HE IS PRESIDENT-ELECT BUT
DEMOCRATS ARE ALL STILL LIKE
OBAMA.
EVERYBODY, LET’S GET A
DEMOCRATIC SENATE FOR JOE.
WHO THE HELL IS JOE, OBAMA.
BUT YES, BOTH PARTIES ARE
DESCENDING ON GEORGIA FOR THESE
TWO SENATE RACES AND IF YOU LIVE
IN GEORGIA, CAN I JUST SAY I’M
SO SORRY FOR WHAT IS ABOUT TO
HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE.
YOU THOUGHT THE TEXT AND TVEDS
WERE BAD BEFORE?
THAT SHUT IS GETTING RUN 50
TIMESES A MINUTE, VOLUNTEERS
WILL BE POPPING UP IN YOUR
DREAMS, HI, SORRY TO INTERRUPT
YOUR WEIRD UNICORN SEX DREAM,
CAN WE COUNT ON YOU ON JANUARY
5th.
THERE WILL BE SO MANY ADS NOW
IS THE PERFECT TIME TO CUT THE
CORD AND CANCEL YOUR CABLE.
WAIT, NOT RIGHT NOW, NOT RIGHT
NOW, AFTER THE SHOW, AFTER THE
SHOW.
WHOOO, THAT’S BETTER, THAT WAS
CLOSE, DON’T DO THAT AGAIN.
ONE REASON BOTH PARTIES THINK AT
THE BOTH HAVE A SHOT IN THE
GEORGIA SENATE RUN IS THE
PRESIDENTIAL RACE THERE WAS
SURPRISINGLY TIGHT.
JOE BIDEN DID COME OUT SLIGHTLY
AHEAD BUT IT’S TOO CLOSE FOR
COMFORT.
THE WHITE HOUSE REMAINS
FOCUSED ON THE ELECTION TONIGHT
WINNING A HAND RECOUNT IN
GEORGIA AS IT PUSHES OTHER LEGAL
CHALLENGES THAT WILL LIKELY HAVE
LITTLE BEARING ON THE RESULTS.
THE ELECTION IS OVER BUT THE
COUNTING IS NOT TONIGHT WITH
EVERY BALLOT IF BATTLEGROUND
GEORGIA SET TO BE RECOUNTED BY
HAND.
TYPICALLY RECOUNTS ONLY CHANGE A
RACE’S MARGIN BY A FEW HUNDRED
VOTES OR SO SO IF VERY UNLIKELY
PRESIDENT TRUMP COULD OVERTAKE
PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN 14,000
VOTE LEAD IN GEORGIA.
BUT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TODAY
CALLS THE RECOUNT A FIRST STEP
TOWARD WINNING THEIR LEGAL FIGHT
DESPITE NO EVIDENCE OF
WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD.
THAT’S RIGHT.
TRUMP IS GETTING A HAND RECOUNT
OF EVERY GEORGIA BALLOT.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THEM, HAND
RECOUNT.
AND I DON’T THINK THAT’S GOING
TO BE FUN FOR HIM, BECAUSE IT’S
BAD ENOUGH LOSING GEORGIA BY
14,000 VOTES BUT NOW IMAGINE
HAVING TO SEE THIS ONE BY ONE.
ST ALSO STRANGE HOW ELECTION
RECOUNTS ARE THE ONE TIME WHEN
PEOPLE THINK COUNTING BY HAND IS
BETTER THAN BY MACHINE.
THERE IS NEVER ANY OTHER
SITUATION WHERE WE SAY OKAY,
THAT’S WHAT THE CALCULATOR SAYS
BUT JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK, FIVE,
SIX, 11, 13, 25, CARRY THE
ONE-- ALL RIGHT, YEAH, I THINK
THE SPACESHIP HAS ENOUGH FUEL,
YOU CAN TAKE OFF.
I WOULD BE LIKE COUNTING EACH
BALLOT BY HAND IS GOING TO TAKE
FOREVER.
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF NUMBERS BUT
BECAUSE IT IS GEORGIA.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO GEORGIA?
THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT IN A RUSH.
ONE VOTE, TWO VOTES.
THREE VOTES.
YOU GOING TO BRING ME SOME OF
THAT PEACH TEA.
WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS GO AND
HIRE THOSE TRAP RAPPERS TO DOT
COUNTING, 1, 600,000, WHOOP, AND
AGAIN AND MILLION,-- AS YOU
HEARD T IS UNLIKELY THAT TRUMP
WILL ACTUALLY FINE ENOUGH
MISCOUNTED BALLOTS TO FLIP THE
RESULTS IN GEORGIA.
BUT EVEN IF HE DOES, HE STILL
WON’T HAVE ENOUGH ELECTORAL
VOTES TO CHANGE THE OVERALL
RESULT.
AND WHILE BIDEN WOULD REALLY
LIKE TO GET UP TO SPEED FOR HIS
WHOLE NEW BIG JOB THAT HE HAS
COMING UP, TRUMP REFUSES TO LIFT
A FINNING TORE HELP HIM.
DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT STATE
DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS TELL CNN
THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS
PREVENTING PRESIDENT-ELECT BIED
FREN ACCESSING MESS ANGS FROM
FOREIGN LEADERS.
THEY ARE CALLING THE STATE
DEPARTMENT, THEY’RE NOT GIVING
THE PRESIDENT-ELECT THESE
MESSAGES.
TRADITIONALLY THE STATE
DEPARTMENT OPERATION CENTER SETS
UP PHONE CALLS FOR THE
PRESIDENT-ELECT WITH WORLD
LEADERS.
THEY TROY TRANSLATION, THAT IS
NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
SO JUST TO BE REALLY CLEAR ABOUT
WHAT IS HAPPENING, IT MEANS
WORLD LEADERS WHO BELIEVE THAT
THEY SHOULD BE REACHING OUT TO
THE STATE DEPARTMENT TO GET IN
TOUCH WITH THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
ARE DOING SO BUT THOSE MESSAGES
ARE NOT BEING RESPONDED TO.
THEY ARE NOT BEING RECEIVED BY
PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN,
ESSENTIALLY HE HAS A MAIL BOX
FULL OF MESSAGES AT THE STATE
DEPARTMENT THAT HE CANNOT
ACCESS.
Trevor: THIS IS A BIG
PROBLEM.
BECAUSE BY THE TIME HE GETS
AROUND TO LISTENING TO THOSE
MESSAGES, THEY WILL BE MONTHS
OLD.
HE CAN GOING TO BE LIKE WORLD
LEADERS NEEDING CRUCIAL
INFORMATION THAT NOBODY HEARD.
HELLO, THIS IS A PUTIN.
WILL YOU DO WHAT I DEMAND OR
WE’RE LAUNCHING MISSILES IN
THREE DAYS.
IT IS PUTIN AGAIN, MISSILES
NOW TWO DAYS AWAY.
YO, WHY ARE YOU GHOSTING ME, IS
IT SOMETHING I SAID.
Trevor: YOU KNOW AT THIS
RATE JOE BIERD LEN SPEND HIS
FIRST MONTH JUST SIFTING THROUGH
ALL THIS MAIL.
IT WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME
BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH OF
MAIL IS JUST JUNK MAIL, ELLO
L.L. BEAN CATALOG, BLUE APRON
CATALOG, ANOTHER CATALOG, HERE
IS A LETTER FROM ANGELA MERKEL,
OH, DEAR JOE, USE MY FRIEND
COUPON TO SUBSCRIBE TO BLUE
APRON, DAMMITY, ANOTHER ONE, SHE
IS TRICKY.
THE REAL QUESTION IS WHY?
WHY WON’T TRUMP JUST ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT HE LOST.
WHY IS HE OUT THERE EVERY DAY
TWEETING BOGUS VIDEOS AND
TWEETING CONSPIRACY ELECTIONS
ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD, WHY,
BECAUSE OF HIS FRAGILE EGO, HUH?
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TAKE THE
COUNTRY DOWN WITH HIM?
COULD BE THOSE THINGS.
BUT IT COULD ALSO BE BENJAMIN.
HE IS REFUSING TO CONCEDE
VOWING TO FORGE AHEAD WAY LOCAL
FIGHT TO CONTEST THE ELECTION.
THE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED AN
OFFICIAL ELECTION DEFENSE FUND.
THEY ARE CALLING IT THE
OFFICIAL ELECTION DEFENSE FUND,
SCROLL DOWN TO THE FINE PRINT AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE PAWJ AND IT
SHOWS IF YOU DONATE, 50% WILL GO
TOWARDS PAYING DOWN CAMPAIGN
DEBTS.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE ATTORNEY SAY
THE MONEY IS GOING TOWARD A NEW
POLIT ACTION COMMITTEE THE
PRESIDENT FOUNDED CALLED SAVE
AMERICA.
THAT MONEY IS A SLUSH FUND THAT
COULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE
PRESIDENT.
THIS TYPE OF FUND HAS
RESTRICTIONS ON HOW THE MONEY
SPENT AND CAN BE USED TO PAY FOR
PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.
Trevor: MY MAN, DONALD
JOBLESS TRUMP.
THIS GUY NEVER MISSES A HUSTLE.
I BET AS WE SPEAK HE’S RIPPING
OUT THE COPPER WUERING FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE WALLS.
KEEP PULLING, JARED, I KNOW A
GUY WHO WILL GIVE US 35 CENTS A
FOOT FOR THIS TOUGH.
Trevor: BUT THAT IS WHAT IS
HAPPENING, FOR ANYONE WITH
BRAINS IT LOOKS LIKE DONALD
TRUMP IS SCAMMING PEOPLE OUT OF
THEIR MONEY BY SAYING THAT HIS
COUNTRY WRONGLY KICKED HIM OU
OUT OF POWER.
AND I GUESS I OWE DONALD TRUMP
AN APOLOGY.
BECAUSE I HONESTLY THOUGHT HE
COULD NEVER CHANGE, BUT HE HAS.
THE DUDE WENT FROM BEING AN
AFRICAN DICTATE TORE A NIGERIAN
PRINCE.
WHEN WE KM BACK I WILL BE JOINED
BY AN AMERICAN SOCCER SUPERSTAR
MEGA RAPINOE AND THE MEDIOCRE
SOCCER PLAYER FORREST WHITAKER, SO STAY
Trevor: WELCOME BACK TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW,
EARLIER TODAY I SPOKE WITH MEGAN
RAPINOE TWO-TIME WORLD CUP
CHAMPION AND OLYMPIC GOLD
MEDALIST.
SHE OPENED UP ABOUT HER
ACTIVISM, HER SUCCESS ON THE
SOCCER FIELD AND SO MUCH MORE.
MEGAN RAPINO WELCOME TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW.
I’M A BIG FAN, I’M VERY
EXCITED TO BE HERE, THIS IS
EXCITING.
Trevor: I AM A BIGGER FAN
NOW THAT I SEE WHAT YOU ARE
WEARING BECAUSE A FAN OF
HOODIES, I AM PARTIAL TO THE
HOODIE GAME, THAT SAY PRETTY
DOPE HOODIE, I LIKE THAT.
YEAH, ST A GOOD ONE, CHINA
TOWN MARKET, NICE AND COLORFUL,
COMFY, I’M PROBABLY SWEATING
UNDERNEATH BUT YOU CAN’T TELL SO
IT’S FINE.
Trevor: THAT IS WHAT MAKES
HOODIES THE BEST, WHAT MATTERS
IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, THAT SAUL
THAT MATTERS, WELCOME TO THE
SHOW AND BEFORE WE GET INTO IT,
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RECENT
ENGAGEMENT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE’RE
BOTH VERY EXCITED.
Trevor: ARE YOU ENGAGED TO
SOMEBODY NOW WHO HAS A LIST OF
ACHIEVEMENTS THAT COULD ONLY BE
MATCHED BY YOURS, SO ON YOUR
SIDE YOU HAVE WON TWO WORLD
CUPS, AN OLIM BICK FOLD MEDAL.
TWO ON HER SIDE HAS WON FOUR
WNBA TITLES FOUR OLYMPIC GOLD
MEDALS AND FOUR FIFA WORLD CUPS.
THE QUESTION IS IN THE IKEA BOOK
SHELF WHO GETS TO PUT THE
TROPHIES WHERE, IS THERE LIKE
PRIORITY?
EVEN MY MOM WHEN WE FIRS GOT
TOGETHER IS LIKE I GOOGLED SUE,
ARE YOU REALLY NOT THAT
IMPRESSIVE ANY MORE.
I WAS LIKE I KNOW, THIS IS
CRAZY.
IT IS PROBABLY LIKE PERCENTAGE
SO LIKE MY LITTLE SLIVER OF 20%
AND SUE IS GOING TO TAKE UP THE
REST.
Trevor: I LIKE THAT.
, THERE IS NO LIE THAT THERE HAS
BEEN PAY DISPARITY BETWEEN
PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT GENDERSES
AND DIFFERENT RACES, IN SPORTS
IT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE PEOPLE
ALWAYS GO WELL OH, IT IS ABOUT
INCOME AND IT IS ABOUT REVENUE,
PEOPLE DON’T GO TO THE GAMES AS
MUCH, THE WOMEN’S GAMES THAT IS
WHY THEY DON’T GET PAID T IS NOT
US T IS THE FANS WHO ARE NOT
GOING.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE THAT DISPUTE
And HOW DO YOU TRY AND
EDUCATE ONLOOKERS WHO ARE GOING
WELL, MEGAN, I DON’T KNOW WHO IS
RIGHT AND WRONG IN THIS.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT THESE OWNERS
ARE SAYING BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU ARE SAYING, HOW DO YOU
HANDLE THAT SIDE OF THE
ARGUMENTS TO WIN PEOPLE OVER.
I THINK IN SPORTS WE OFTEN GO
TO LIKE WHAT IS YOUR SAL REAL
ESTATE AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
WATCHING YOU OR HOW MANY PEOPLE
IN THE STADIUM, BUT IT REALLY
STARTS A LOT BEFORE THAT.
YOU HAVE TO THINK OF IT LIKE A
BUSINESS THAT NEEDS TO BE
INVESTED IN.
AND YOU KNOW, IF THE NBA IS
GETTING A BILLION DOLLARS
INVESTMENT, THE WNBA IS GETTING
EVEN A HUNDRED MILLION OF
INVESTMENT, ONE BUSINESS IS
GOING TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL.
IF YOU SPEND MORE ON YOUR
MARKETING PERSON AND BRANDING
PERSON, YOUR C.E.O., ALL THESE
PEOPLE, THE BUSINESS IS GOING TO
RUN BETTER.
SO BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE
GAME, WE’VE BEEN SO
UNDERINVESTED IN OR AT SUCH A
DISADVANTAGE THE WHL TIME, LIKE
IT’S SHOCKING THAT WE HAVE AS
MUCH SUCCESS AS WE DO, OR WE’RE
AS POPULAR AS WE ARE.
I THINK IT’S LIKE LET’S
UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE PICTURE
BEFORE WE JUST GO THE VERY LAST
PAGE AND BE LIKE WELL, NO ONE
WANTS TO COME.
Trevor: I ALSO LOVE THAT
YOU ARE REQUEST FIGHT INSPIRED
OTHER PEOPLE WEIM AND YOU TALK
ABOUT THIS IN YOUR BOOK AND YOU
SHARED THE STORY, YOUR AUNT TOLD
YOU THAT SHE FOUGHT FOR HER PAY
WHEN SHE SAW YOU FIGHTING FOR
YOURS, WHAT WAS THAT LIKE AND
LIKE WHAT DID SHE DO IN HER
WORLD THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
TO KNOW THAT SHE FOUND
HERSELF IN OUR FIGHT, YEAH T
MADE ME REALLY EMOTIONAL IT WAS
A REALLY TOUCHING MOMENT AND I
THINK THAT’S PROBABLY THE MOST
REWARDING AND MOST IMPORTANT
PART OUT OF OUR TEAM’S FIGHT
WITH THE FEDERATION AND THE
LAWSUITS AND EQUAL PAY, IT IS
LIKE YEAH, OF COURSE WE’RE DOING
IT ON OUR BEHALF BUT SOON
IMMIGRANTS-- IT WE ARE IS STILL
PRIVILEGED, MAKE A LOT OF MONEY
AND STILL SUPERSTARSES OF SOME
KIND.
BUT FOR SO MANY WOMEN OUT THERE,
ST MY AUNT IN HER JOB.
ST A DOMESTIC WORKER OR A
RESTAURANT WORKER, IT IS TO DO
THESE THINGS, EVEN IN OUR
POSITION IT IS DIFFICULT.
SO TO KNOW WE HAVE INSPIRED OR
AT LEAST MADE PEOPLE THINK DOWN
TO EVERY LEVEL IT IS THE BIGGEST
WIN I THINK WE COULD HAVE.
Trevor: THE TITLE OF YOUR
NEWLY RELEASED MEMOIR IS ONE
LIFE, WHICH IS MISLEADING
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU LIVED
MANY LIVES.
YOU SHARE SO MANY INSPIRING,
HEARTFELT AND PAINFUL
EXPERIENCES FROM YOUR JOURNEY,
YOU TOW, SOME OF THE STORIES
THAT STICK OUT FOR ME, YOU KNOW,
THE MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT
YOUR DAD IS A TRUMP SUPPORTER
AND YOURSELF AND YOUR TWIN
SISTER WHO ARE BOTH GAY SAY HEY,
THIS BREAKS OUR HEART AND YOU
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT WITH
SOMEBODY THAT YOU LOVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS OR TRICKS
ON HOW TO MEND THE WOUNDS
BETWEEN FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE
BEEN RIPPED APART BECAUSE OF
POLITICS.
I JUST TRY TO KEEP TALKING.
I STILL LIKE OBVIOUSLY HAVE THIS
RELATIONSHIP, I LOVE HIM AND
WHILE IT’S PAINFUL, OF COURSE,
AND IT WAS PAINFUL TO KNOW THAT
HE WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR SOMEONE
LIKE THAT AND SUPPORTED HIM FOR
A LOT OF YEARS, I DON’T THINK HE
VOTED FOR HIM THIS AREA WHICH
I’M THANKFUL FOR.
BUT WE CAN’T JUST NOT TALK TO
EACH OTHER.
I MEAN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A TOUGH
TIME FOR EVERYONE RIGHT NOW,
KNOWING WHAT, 71 MILLION PEOPLE
OR SOMETHING VOTED FOR SOMEONE
WHO SPEWS HATRED AND CHAOS AND
DISASTER.
AND WE HAVE APPROACHING 250,000
PEOPLE DEAD FROM COVID AND ALL
OF THESE THINGS, TO KNOW THAT
SOMEONE SUPPORTS THAT, BUT
CLEARLY THERE IS MUCH MORE TO IT
THAT I THINK WE NEED TO DIG INTO
AND HAVE MORE CONVERSATION WITH,
JUST AS FAMILY, AS FRIENDS AS A
NATION, AS EVERYBODY.
Trevor: THANK YOU FOR
SHARING.
YOUR BOOK TRULY TRULY TRULY IS

FANS AND YOU ARE PROBABLY TBING

Trevor: MEGAN’S MEMOIR, ONE
LIFE, IS AVAILABLE NOW, YOU
DEFINITELY WANT TO GET IT WHEN
WE COME BACK ACTING LEGEND
FOREST WHITAKER IS JOINING US ON THE SHOW, STAY TUNED.
WELCOME BACK TO THE DAILY SOCIAL
DISTANCING SHOW.
EARLIER TODAY I SPOKE WITH OSCAR
WINNING ACTOR, PRODUCER AND
DIRECTOR FORREST WHITAKER.
WE TALKED ABOUT HIS LEGENDARY
CAREER AND HIS BRAND NEW HOLIDAY
FILM.
EVERYWHERE I HAVE EVER BEEN,
I FELT OUT OF PLACE.
THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN WHERE I FINALLY FELT
LIKE I BELONGED.
CHILD WITH AN IMAGINATION
ALWAYS BELONGS.
NEVER BE AFRAID.
Z PEOPLE CAN’T SEE WHAT YOU SEE.
ALWAYS BE AFRAID IF YOU NO
LONGER SEE IT.
Trevor: FORREST WHITAKER,
WELCOME TO THE DAILY SOCIAL
DISTANCING SHOW.
IT’S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU,
TREVOR, GREAT.
Trevor: YOU HAVE ONE OF THE
MOST IL US TRUS CAREERS THAT
ANYONE COULD EVER, EVER, EVER
DREAM OF.
I MEAN EVERYTHING FROM STAR WARS
TO BLACK PANTHER TO PRACTICE
TOON, EVERYONE HAS A FAVORITE
MOVIE AND THAT FAVORITE MOVIE
PROBABLY HAS FORREST WHITAKER IN
IT, I WANT TO BEFORE WHICH GET
INTO THIS, TALKING ABOUT YOUR
NEW MOVE WREE, DO YOU HAVE A
FAVORITE MOVIE.
THAT I HAVE DONE.
Trevor: THAT YOU HAVE DONE,
DO YOU HAVE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE,
THAT IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE.
I DID LIKE WHEN I WORKED
ON-- IT WAS A FULL PERFORMANCE
FOR ME, THERE I EXPRESS MYSELF
AS FULLY AS I CAN AS AN ARTIST.
WPTION OTHER TIMES IT S I THE
IMAGINE YOU CAN YOU MIGHT GET IN
BLACK PANTHER OR SOME OF THE
HISTORY IN THE BUTLER, THEY ARE
ALL DIFFERENT.
Trevor: I FEEL LIKE WE ARE
LUCKY BECAUSE WE GET, NOW WHEN
YOU SAID LAST KING OF SCOTLAND
THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF WAS
THAT YOU DIDN’T CONVINCE ME,
SOME OF THOSE LINES AND THE WAY
YOU LIVE IN THESE CHARACTERS.
I SOMETIMES WONDER, ARE YOU ABLE
TO JUST LET THE CHARACTER GO
ONCE YOU HAVE LIVED IN THEM FOR
SO LONG OR DO THEY LIVE WITH YOU
FOR A LITTLE BIT AFTER AFTER THE
PROJECT.
SOMETIMES IT IS TAKES AWHILE
TO GET RID OF A CHARACTER, TO
SHAKE IT OFF.
KIND OF LIKE DOING THAT 24/7 FOR
MONTHS AT A TIME, THE RHYTHMS
STICK WITH YOU, AND YOU HAVE TO
FIGHT TO WASH THEM OFF OR CLEAN
THEM OFF.
AND THEN ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW
WHAT, TREVOR, SOMETIMES YOU
CARRY A LITTLE PIECE OF THAT
PERSON, LIKE AS IF YOU HAVE BEEN
REINCARNATED AGAIN AND YOU CARRY
THEM WITH YOU, THE WAY YOU SAY A
LINE THAT CAME BACK FROM ANOTHER
LIFE, THE WAY YOU UNDERSTAND,
SOMETIMES I MIGHT WORK ON A
KAREN BEGIN, I’M NOT A CAR
PERSON, ALL OF A STUD I KNOW HOW
TO FIX EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF
SOME PART I PLAYED AS A
MECHANIC.
Trevor: THAT IS HILARIOUS,
THAT IS AMAZING.
THAT IS AMAZING, I FEEL LIKE YOU
SHOULD TAKE MORE ROLES THAT
TEACH YOU THINGS THAT HELP YOU
AROUND THE HOUSE.
I NEED A ROLE FIXING FRIDGES,
PEOPLE.
BEFORE WE GET INTO JINGLE SANG
EL, I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT PLAQUE PANTHER.
I KNOW CHATTING TO RYAN AND
LUPITA AND EVERYONE THAT WAS
PART OF THE TEAM, THE CAST WAS
LIKE A FAMILY.
YOU WERE DOING SOMETHING SO
SPECIAL.
YOU WERE CREATING SOMETHING THAT
REVERBERATED AROUND THE WORLD AS
A SOUTH AFRICAN I STILL LOVED
THE FILM BECAUSE OF HOW YOU
PORTRAYED MY PEOPLE MY COUNTRY,
MY WORLD, AFRICANS LOVED IT,
AMERICANS, EVERYONE LOVED IT
BECAUSE OF THE STORY BEHIND THE
STORY.
WHEN CHADWICK PASSED I KNOW THAT
THAT JUST SHOOK EVERYONE.
YOU WERE SOMEBODY WHO CONNECTED
WITH EVERY YOUNG ACTOR IN SUCH A
SPECIAL WAY.
WHAT DID HE MEAN TO YOU AS A
HUMAN BEING, NOT JUST AS AN
ACTOR.
I THINK FOR PEOPLE HE AKED AS
A BEACON IN BEING ABLE TO
FULFILL YOUR HOPES AND DREAMSK
BEING ABLE TO REACH THE HIGHEST
HEIGHTS AND TO BE ABLE TO
CONTRIBUTE AND GIVE BACK.
NOT JUST WITH LOVE BUT WITH
UNDERSTANDING.
I THINK THAT IS A GREAT GIFT
THAT HE WAS ABLE TO GIVE US IN
THE WORLD I THINK HE STILL DOES
THAT IN A WAY.
A ALLOWED US TO BELIEVE IN THE
POSSIBLE.
HE ROSE TO DO CERTAIN GREAT
THINGS AND REVEALED AS YOU SAY
MORE THINGS ABOUT HIS CULTURE
AND ABOUT HIS CONNECTIONS.
ABOUT HIS SPIRIT.
AND REVEALED THIS IN MANY
DIFFERENT WAYS AND PARTS HE
PLAYED.
HE WAS REVEALING DIFFERENT
HISTORIES AND UNDERSTANDING A
LOT OF DIN PEOPLE.
I JUST ADD MIRED-- ADMIRED THAT
HE DID THAT AND FELT IT WAS A
TREASURE IN THAT WAY THAT HE
GAVE SO MANY GIFTS TO HIS WORK
AND HIMSELF.
I LOVED HOW HE LIVED HIS
LIFE.
I ALSO LIKE HOW YOU DID, I LIKE
HOW FORREST WHITAKER SEAMLESSLY
MOVES BETWEEN EMOTIONS.
YOU HAVE AKED IN SOME OF THE
MOST POWERFUL MOVIE AND ROLES
THAT HAVE SHAPED HOW WE EVEN SEE
OURSELVES? THE WORLD.
JINGLE JANGEL IS A DEPARTURE, I
FEEL LIKE ST THE PERFECT MOVE YE
FOR THIS TIME, A CHRISTMAS
MUSIXAL.
IT HAS JOY, A LIFE SPIRIT, TELL
ME ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND WHY
YOU WERE DRAWN TO IT.
I DID LIKE THE THEMES WHICH
WERE REALLY POWERFUL, IN YOUR
LIFE AND FAMILY, YOU CAN FIND
YOURSELF AGAIN AND RISE BACK UP
TO SUK SED AND HAVE LIFE AGAIN
AND FIND JOY, THAT WAS REALLY
GREAT.
AND I THINK WHEN THE DIRECTOR
HAD VISION FOR THIS FILM AND
ASKED ME TO DO IT, I THOUGHT
THIS WOULD BE A BEAUTIFUL GIFT
TO THE WORLD AND ALSO FOR ME, TO
GET A CHANCE TO LIVE IN THIS
KIND OF ENERGY, THIS POSITIVE
FEELING.
IT WAS EVERY DAY ON THE SET IT
WAS REALLY FULL OF PEOPLE
ENJOYING THEMSELVES AND DOING
EVERYTHING THEY COULD.
IN THE LITTLE CORNER OF THE
STAGE THEY WOULD BE WRITING A
LITTLE PHRASE OR SOMETHING SO
PEOPLE REALLY CARED SO MUCH.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE AMAZING
EXPERIENCES.
AND THE DIRECTOR, DAVID, HE HAD
BEEN TRYING TO GET THE MOVIE
MADE FOR LIKE 20 YEARS.
SOMETIMES JUST EXPLAINING ITS
SCENE AND BEING CAUGHT UP IN THE
SET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED
WEEPING, TEARS COMING DOWN HIS
FACE, JUST LIKE CAUGHT WITH HIM,
BECAUSE IT MEANT SO MUCH, SO IT
MEANT SOMETHING TO US, YOU KNOW,
THE FILM AND I THINK THAT YOU
CAN SEE THAT JOY IN THE MOVIE,
THE MOVIE IS FULL OF JOY AND
HOPE AND POSSIBILITY AND I THINK
IT’S NECESSARY RIGHT NOW.
I THINK IT’S GOOD FOR PEOPLE
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN FEELING BEAT DOWN BY THE
PANDEMIC, RACIAL INJUSTICE, BEAT
DOWN BY SOCIETY SOMETIMESES A A
WHOLE.
AND TO HAVE A FILM LIKE THIS
THAT TRIES TO LIFT YOU UP AND
MAKE YOU BELIEVE THAT YES, YOU
CAN FALL BUT YOU CAN COME BACK.
YOU CAN RISE BACK UP AND YOU CAN
FIND YOUR JOY AGAIN, YOU KNOW.
I THINK THE MOVE C.E.O. DOES
THAT.
AND IT’S FUN, IT’S FUNNY.
IT’S WILD.
A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
FULL OF JOY, FULL OF FUN,
IT’S A PLACE OF HOPE AND I
REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME WATCHING
IT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME
ON THE SHOW.
I KNOW ARE YOU VERY BUSY.
I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH, THANK
YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE
DONE AND THE ROLES THAT YOU
PLAYED, AND THE WAY YOU PLAYED
