EVERYBODY, WELCOME TO THE DAILY
SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW, I’M
TREVOR NOAH.
TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, THE 2-7BD OF
DECEMBER.
WHICH MEANS THERE IS ONLY 49
DAYS LEFT UNTIL TRUMP IS NO
LONGER PRESIDENT AND START
STARTS SELLING NATIONAL SECRETS
ON HIS ONLY FAN ACCOUNT, ANYWAY
COMING UP ON TONIGHT’S SHOW, THE
QUEEN HAS THE VACCINE Y BLACK
PEOPLE CAN’T BUY HOMES AND
MICHAEL J FOX WILL JOIN US ON
THE SHOW, LET’S DO THIS, 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.
LET’S KICK THINGS OFF WITH THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.
YOU KNOW, THE REASON WHY OUR
NOSTRILS AREN’T VIRGINS ANY
MORE.
TODAY THE WORLD HIT A MAJOR
MILESTONE AS GREAT BRITAN BECAME
THE FIRST COUNTRY TO OFFICIALLY
APPROVE A FULLY TESTED VACCINE.
SO BIG CONGRATULATIONS BRITAN,
IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH YOU CAN
GET DONE WHEN YOU DON’T WASTE
TIME COMBING YOUR HAIR.
AND YOU KNOW THIS IS REALLY,
REALLY GREAT NEWS FOR THE WORLD.
UNLESS BRITAIN DECIDES TO USE
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET REVENGE.
SO IT TURNS OUT WE’VE GOTTEN THE
VACCINE AND WE’LL BE HANDING IT
OUT TO ALL OF OUR COLONIES, OH,
OH, THAT’S RIGHT, YOU DON’T WANT
TO BE COLONIES ANY MORE, I GUESS
MORE VACCINE FOR ME, OH, AAH,
HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT NOW,
IND-- INDIA, SO SAFETY AND
PRECAUTION IS FANTASTIC BUT
THERE IS ONE COUNTRY WHO MIGHT
BE TAKING THEIR PRECAUTIONS A
LITTLE TOO FAR.
BELT GUM IS PUTTING A FOUR
PERSON LIT LIMIT ON HOLIDAY
PARTIES DEURD THE PANDEMIC
PANDEMIC.
OFFICIALS SAY ALL GATHERINGS
MUST BE HELD OUTDOOR IN A YARD
OR GARDEN AND ONLY ONE GUEST
WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER THE HOUSE
DURING THE ENTIRE PARTY.
IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO TO THE
TOILET THERE WILL BE NOTHING
LEFT TO DO BUT RETURN HOME SAID
A GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON.
WHOA, WHOA, HOLD ON.
ONLY ONE PERSON AT THE PARTY IS
A YOU LAKED TO USE THE BATHROOM
THAT SAY TERRIBLE IDEA.
FOR STARTERS, HOW DO THEY DECIDE
WHO GETS TO BE THE DESIGNATED
BATHROOM USER.
DOES THE HOST TELL YOU IN
ADVANCE, DO THEY REGULATE YOUR
NOG INTAKE OR DECIDE BASED ON
WHAT YOU ATE.
THE WORST PART ABOUT NOT BEING
ABLE TO USE THE BATHROOM SU LOSE
YOUR EXCUSE FOR BAILING ON A
CONVERSATION.
THAT IS THE ONLY REASON YOU GO
TO THE BATHROOM AT A PARTY.
NOW YOU HAVE TO BE HONEST.
OKAY, WELL, THANK YOU, THANK
YOU, YEAH, I’VE GOT TO GO.
NO, I DON’T HAVE TO USE THE
BATHROOM, I JUST DON’T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT YOUR KIDS ANY MORE.
I HATE THEM RIGHT NOW.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW THEM.
OF COURSE IT IS AT LEAST
POSSIBLE TO PRACTICE SOCIAL
DISTANCING AT A GARDEN PARTY.
YOU CAN AT LEAST TRY.
BUT IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AT
A SEX PARTY.
SO WHEN AUTHORITIES IN BELGIUM
DISCOVERED THAT PEOPLE WERE
THROWING AN ORGY IN VIOLATION OF
THE LOCKDOWN POLICE WERE SENT TO
BREAK IT UP.
BUT THAT IS WHEN THE REAL
SCANDAL BEGAN.
THE HUNGARIAN MEMBER OF THE
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HAS RESIGNED
AFTER BREAKING LOCKDOWN RULES BY
ATTENDING WHAT HAS BEEN
DESCRIBED AS A GAY SEX PARTY IN
BRUSSELS.
JOZSEF SZAJER WHO PREVIOUSLY
BACKED ANTI-LGBT LEGISLATION IN
HUNGARY ADMITTED ATTENDING THE
PARTY WHICH WAS BROKEN UP BY
POLICE.
THE THEY SIMPLY SAID THAT
THEY WERE THERE RAIDING A PARTY
WHICH APPEARED TO BE BREAKING
CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN
RESTRICTIONS.
THEY ARE ARE ALSO REPORTING THE
BULGARIAN MEDIA TRIED TO RUN
AWAY FROM THE PARTY BY CLIMBING
DOWN A DRAIN PIPE AND HE WAS
THEN CAUGHT BY THE POLICE IN THE
STREET.
Trevor: DAMN, I CAN’T
BELIEVE A HOME PHOBIC POLITICIAN
WAS CAUGHT AT A GAY SEX PARTY
GOING DOWN A DRIEN PIPE AND THEN
HE TRIED TO ESCAPE.
HIGH FIVE.
AND BY THE WAY, BEING AT AN
ILLEGAL SEX PARTY WHEN THE
POLICE STORM IN MUST BE SO
AWKWARD.
BECAUSE YOU DON’T EVEN REALIZE
IT IS A REAL POLICE RAID UNTIL
IT IS TOO LATE.
THINK ABOUT IT, YOU PROBABLY
ASSUME SOMEBODY ORDERED STRIPPER
COPS.
OH YES, OFFICER, I HAVE BEEN
A REALLY NAUGHTY BOY, WOW, REAL
HANDCUFFS.
YOU TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.
HA HA BUT YES, MY FRIENDS, ONCE
AGAIN ANOTHER ANTIGAY POLITICIAN
HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN A GAY SNGS
SCANDAL.
WHICH BY THE WAY THERE IS
NOTHING SCANDALOUS ABOUT GAY
SEX.
THE SCANDAL IS THAT THEY SAID
WITH ANTIGAY, GAY IS BAD AND
TURNS OUT THEY WERE DOING IT.
AND HONESTLY PART OF ME FEELS
BAD FOR THESE POLITICIANS
BECAUSE CLEARLY THEY LIVE IN A
SOCIETY THAT HAS MADE THEM SO
TERRIFIED OF WHO THEY ARE AND
THEY HATE THEMSELVES AND THE
PEOPLE THAT THEY GO TO EXTREME
LENGTHS WHEN THEY DON’T NEED TO.
HALF THE TIME ST NOT ABOUT
FAMILY VALUES.
THEY JUST DON’T WANT SOMEBODY
DATING THEIR ERCK X.
LET’S MOVE ON TO THE LATEST NEWS
FROM OUTGOING PRESIDENT DONALD
JUMP-- JUNK FOOD TRUMP.
HIS PLANS TO STAY IN THE WHITE
HOUSE IS NOT GOING SMOOTHLY.
HIS LAWSUITS ARE FAILING.
HE HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO HIDE IN
THE VENTS AND NOW ONE OF THE
LOYAL SUPPORTEDDERS ATTORNEY
GENERAL BILL BARR SAID THERE WAS
NO EVIDENCE OF THE WIDESPREAD
VOTER FRAUD THAT TRUMP HAS BEEN
SCREAMING ABOUT AND THAT HAS GOT
TO BE ESPECIALLY HUMILIATING FOR
TRUMP.
BECAUSE YOU REALIZE UP UNTIL
NOW, BILL BARR HAS ALWAYS HAD
HIS BACK.
BUT NOW IT’S LIKE GONE.
MUS BE LIKE WHEN YOU ROLL UP AT
A-- LIKE YOU SORRY AS BICHS, IF
YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE ON ME AND
MY BOY BILL, YO BILL, ALL RIGHTK
NOW WHEN I SAID SORRY ASS, I AM
SAYING SORRY ASS BITCHES BUT IF
TRUMP KNOWS HE WILL BE DRAGGED
OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE SOON, AT
LEAST HE IS PLANNING TO DO IT IN
THE TRUMPIEST WAY POSSIBLE.
AND LET’S FIND OUT HOW TRUMP YEN
IN ANOTHER EDITION OF GO BIG AND
GO HOME.
ONE OF THE WEIRDEST QUIRKS OF
BEING AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT IS
HAVING THE POWER TO PARDON ANY
ONE FOR ANY FEDERAL CRIME.
SORT OF LIKE A CODE FOR
AMERICA’S SCRUS TIS SYSTEM.
IT LOOKS LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP
WILL SPEND THE NECK TWO MONTHS
MASHING THOSE BUTTONSES WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY SOON WIELD
THE POWER OF THE PARDON IN
UNPRECEDENTED WAYS.
MULTIPLE SOURCES SAY THE
PRESIDENT IS WEARING WEIGHING
WHETHER TO PREEM TIFFLY PARDON
FAMILY MEMBERS AND SEVERAL CLOSE
ASSOCIATES.
AMONG THE NAMES THE PRESIDENT
DISCUSSED BEHIND THE SCENES, THE
OLDEST THREE OF HIS FIVE
CHILDREN.
DON, JR., ERIC AND IVANKA AS
WELL AS SON IN LAW JARED
KUSHNER, SOURCES TELL ABC NEWS
THE PRESIDENT’S LAWYER RUDY
GIULIANI IS ALSO AMONG THOSE WHO
IN RECENT WEEKS DIRECTLY ASKED
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR A PREEM TIFF
PARDON.
THOUGH GEUL ANNIE DE SIGHS IN.
LET’S BREAK DOWN WHAT IS
BEING CONSIDERED, WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT PARDONS BEING ISSUED
BEFORE THE PRESIDENT LEAVES
OFFICE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT
EVEN BEEN CHARGED WITH A CRIME.
THE PREEM TIFF, GET OUT OF
JAIL FREE CARD BEFORE A CRIME
HAS EVEN BEEN COMMITTED POSSIBLY
FOR FRIENDS BE FAMILY, EVEN THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
Trevor: GUYS THAT IS
ADORABLE.
TRUMP IS PARDONING HIS KIDS AND
HIS HOUSE PETS.
AND HE’S NOT EVEN PARDONING THEM
FOR ANYTHING SPECIFIC.
JUST HANDING OUT PARDONS LIKE A
GIFT CARD.
YOU HAVE TO LET YOU PICK YOUR
OWN CRIME SOCKER ENJOY.
THERE IS SOMETHING CRAZY, YOU
KNOW, LIVE A LITTLE.
OF COURSE THE BIG QUESTION IS
CAN TRUMP LEGALLY PARDON
HIMSELF.
BECAUSE YOU SEE, NO ONE KNOWS
FOR SURE.
BUT I ACTUALLY WANT TRUMP TO
TRY.
JUST BECAUSE IT WILL BE FUN TO
SEE HOW WILL DO IT HE WILL
PROBABLY BE LIKE I HEARBY PARDON
YOU.
NO, I PARDON, STOP POINTING AT
ME.
I’M TRYING TO PARDON YOU.
YOU ARE ARE SO GOOD LOOKING BUT
YOU’RE PARDONED.
Trevor: BEFORE YOU SAY OH,
TYPICAL DONALD TRUMP, ONLY IN IT
FOR HIMSELF WELL HEY, THAT’S NOT
TRUE.
IT TURNS OUT THAT ANYONE MAY BE
ABLE TO GET A PARDON FROM TRUMP
FOR THE PRIMATES.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS
INVESTIGATING A POTENTIAL
BRIBERY SCHEME INVOLVING
PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS.
IT WAS REVEALED IN HEAVILY
REDACTED COURT DOCUMENTS
PERTAINING TO A SEARCH WARRANT
OF SEVERAL OFFICES, THE
INVESTIGATION SEEMS TO INVOLVE
AT LEAST TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO
QUOTE ACTED AS LOBBYISTS TO
SENIOR WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS
WITHOUT REGISTERING AS LOBBYISTS
TO SUPPORT PARDONS OR REPRIEVE
OF SENTENCE FOR A PERSON WHO
APPEARS TO BE KNOWN TO
INVESTIGATORS BUT HIS NAME HAS
BEEN REDACTED IN THESE NEWLY
UNSEALED DOCUMENTS.
THE INVESTIGATION ALSO INVOLVES
AN ALLEGED OFFICER FROM SOMEONE
WHOSE ME HAD ALSO BEEN
REDACTED OF A QUOTE SUBSTANTIAL
POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION IN
EXCHANGE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL
PARDON OR REPRIEVE OF SENTENCE.
THE DOCUMENTS DO NOT NAME
PRESIDENT TRUMP OR ANY OTHER
WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL NOR DO THEY
SAY WHETHER ANYONE IN THE WHITE
HOUSE NEW ABOUT THE-- KNEW ABOUT
THE ALLEGED SCHEME.
Trevor: WHOA, SO THERE WAS
ALREADY CONTROVERSY OVER TRUMP’S
PARDONS AND NOW BRIBERY MIGHT BE
INVOLVED AS WELL.
BASICALLY TRUMP MANAGED TO SHOVE
UP WITH OF HIS SCAN WILL DAS IN
THE MIDDLE OF ANOTHER SCANDAL.
SO IMPRESSIVE.
NOW TO BE CLEAR, ALL WE KNOW IS
THAT SOMEONE APPARENTLY OFFERED
TO BRIBE TRUMP WITH A CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION IN EXCHANGE FOR A
PRESIDENTIAL PARDON.
WE DON’T KNOW IF TRUMP ACTUALLY
PARDON THE GUY.
WE DON’T ACTUALLY CONSIDER THIS
OR IF YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT.
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TRUMP DID.
I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH.
AFTER KNOWING HIM FOR THIS LONG,
I THINK WE CAN ASSUME THAT MY
MAN IS NOT GOING TO TURN DOWN
SOME PARDON CASH.
IF ANYTHING I THINK WE SHOULD BE
IMPRESSED THAT HE HASN’T STARTED
TARGETING INSTAGRAM ADS TO
FORMER FELONS.
SO THAT IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT
NOW.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING TO
STAY IN OFFICE.
BUT IF IT DOESN’T WORK OUT, IT
LOOKS LIKE HIS PLAN IS TO JUST
PARDON EVERYONE IN HIS
INNERCIRCLE ON HIS WAY OUT OF
THE DOOR.
WHETHER THAT IS CONSTITUTIONAL
OR NOT, WE DON’T KNOW.
BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS TRUMP
WON’T BE TRYING TO ESCAPE DOWN A
DRAIN PIPE AT THE NEXT SEX PARTY
HE GETS BUSTED AT.
JOKES ON YOU, OFFICERS, ALL
RIGHT, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK.
WHEN WE COME BACK WE’LL FIND OUT
WHY THE HOUSING SYSTEM IS RIGGED
AGAINST BLACK AMERICANS.
AND MICHAEL J FOX, IS STILL
JOINING US ON THE SHOW, SO STICK AROUND.
EL WELCOME BACK TO THE DAILY
SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW, SO BY
NOW EVERYONE KNOWS THE DAMAGE
THE CORONAVIRUS CAN DO STO YOUR
BODY, IT CAN DESTROY YOUR LUNGS,
CAN INJURE YOUR KIDNEYS, IT CAN
EVEN TAKE DOWN YOUR PRESIDENCY
BUT IT TURNS OUT THE PANDEMIC
ISN’T JUST HARMING OUR BODIES
STRK ALSO HARMING OUR HOMES.
ARE WE HEADED FOR ANOTHER
MORTGAGE CRISIS?
THE SLOW MOTION DISASTER IN
AMERICA’S NEIGHBORHOODS.
WITH MORE THAN 21 MILLION
AMERICANS OUT OF WORK, MORE AND
MORE HOMEOWNERS ARE STRUGGLING
TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGES.
WE ARE SEEING A BIG SPIKE IN
THE NUMBER OF DELINQUENT
HOMEOWNERS SINCE THE PANDEMIC
BEGAN.
RIGHT NOW 6.6 PERCENT OF ALL
MORTGAGES ARE IN SOME STAGE OF
DLING WEDNESDAYEE THARK IS 3.3
MILLION AMERICAN HOMES, NEARLY
DOUBLING IN JUST NINE MONTHS.
IF WE DON’T PUT MONEY IN
PEOPLE’S POCKETS, IF WE DON’T
EXTEND THE MORATORIUM ON HE VIKS
AND MORTGAGE FORE CLOSURES,
WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HOMELESS IN
THE MID EF-- MIDDLE OF WINTER
WHEN DISEASE IS RAMPANT, PEOPLE
BEING FORCED TO GO TO WORK
BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK BECAUSE
THEY NEED FOOD AND TO PAY RENT
THAT IS UNCONSCIONABLE.
Trevor: WHOW GUYS, 3.3
MILLION AMERICAN HOMES IS AN
INSANE NUMBER.
THAT IS LIKE IF EVERYBODY IN
JAMAICA WAS SUDDENLY HOMELESS.
I MEAN THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE
CHILL ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY IS
SO MUCH GREAT GRA WEED AND GREAT
WEATHER YOU APPROXIMATE STILL
VERY INCONVENIENT IT IS TRULY
AMAZING THAT THE AMERICAN
GOVERNMENT, THE MOST POWERFUL
NATION IN THE WORLD HAS FAILED
ITS PEOPLE SO BADLY.
I MEAN IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THEY
TRIED TO ONE UP THE DAMAGE
CORONAVIRUS COR OWN’ IS DOING.
I AM GOING TO CAUSE A MASSIVE
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.
THEN WE’RE GOING TO CAUSE A
MASSIVE ECONOMIC AND HOUSING
CRISIS.
DAMNK YOU GUYS ARE COLD.
Trevor: WHILE THE PANDEMIC
IS CAUSING MILLIONS TO FACE A
MORTGAGE CRISIS FOR THE FIRST
TIME, HOUSING INSTABILITY IS
NOTHING NEW FOR BLACK PEOPLE.
IN FACT, IT IS SOMETHING
AFRICAN-AMERICANS HAVE BEEN
DEALING WITH LONG BEFORE THE
CORONAVIRUS.
SO LET’S FIND OUT WHY IN ANOTHER
INSTALLMENT OF IF YOU DON’T
KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW.
IT IS NO SECRET THAT WHITE
PEOPLE HAVE HAD AN EASIER TIME
GETTING AHEAD IN AMERICA.
BUT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
REASONS FOR THIS MIGHT SURPRISE
YOU.
FOR MILLIONS OWNING A HOME
REMAINS THE HEART OF THE
AMERICAN DREAM.
BUT MANY BLACK AMERICANS HAVE
BEEN LEFT OUT.
A NEW REPORT SAYS TO 44% OF
BLACK FAMILIES OWN A HOME
COMPARED TO 74% FOR WHITES.
OWNING A HOME IS A WAY THAT
MOST PEOPLE DEVELOP WEALTH.
IT IS A WAY THAT FOR YEARS AND
YEARS AND YEARS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO PASS SOMETHING ON TO
THEIR CHILDREN OR PAY FOR THEIR
EDUCATION.
IT IS PART OF THE REASON THE
AVERAGE WHITE FAMILY HAS ABOUT
TEN TIMES THE MEDIAN FEALT
WEALTH OF A BLACK FAMILY WITHIN
THE GAP BETWEEN WHITE AND BLACK
HOMEOWNERS IS GREATER NOW THAN
IT WAS SINCE BEFORE THE FAIR
HOUSING ACT OF 1968 WHEN
SEGREGATION WAS LEGAL.
Trevor: THAT’S RIGHT.
THE HOMEOWNERSHIP GAP IS WORSE
FOR BLACK PEOPLE NOW THAN IT WAS
IN SEGREGATION.
WHICH IS INSANE!
I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT A BLACK GUY
COULD BE ABLE TO SAY OH, JIM
CROW, THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD
DAYS.
BUT IT MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU
REALIZE HOW OWNS REAL ESTATE
HELPS YOU BUILD WEALTH, AND THAT
WEALTH BECOMES GENERATIONAL.
BECAUSE HOME OWNERSHIP IS ONE OF
THE SUREST WAYS FOR FAMILIES TO
PASS DOWN WEALTH.
NOT BEANIE BABIES, GRANDMA.
BUT THEY ARE CUTE SO SAVE THEM.
BUT THINK ABOUT A PORTFOLIO,
BLACK AMERICANS HAVE HAD LESS
WEALTH THAN WHITE AMERICANS FOR
DECADES AND A LARGE PART OF THAT
WAS BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T BUILD
WEALTH BY OWNING A HOME.
BUT WHY?
WHY COULDN’T THEY OWN HOMES AT
THE SAME RATE AS WHITE
AMERICANS.
WELL, LIKE MOST THINGS
DEALING WITH RACIAL INEQUALITY,
IT STARTS WITH THE GOVERNMENT.
DURING THE NEW DEAL, THE
HOMEOWNERS CORPORATION REFNLSED
MORE THAN A MILLION LOANS,
NEARLY ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE
MORTGAGES IN URBAN AMERICA.
NOW THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THE
HOMEOWNERS LOAN CORPORATION WAS
RED LINING.
ALL OF THAT WONDERFUL GOVERNMENT
FINANCE WAS ONLY AVAILABLE TO
WHITE PEOPLE.
THE HOMEOWNERS LOAN
CORPORATION ESSENTIALLY DEEMED
BLACK PEOPLE TOO RISKY TO LOAN.
THE HOLC CREATED RESIDENTIAL
SECURITY WHERE THE TERM RED
LINING COMES FROM.
GREEN MEANT BEST AREA, BEST
PEOPLE, BLUE MEANT GOOD PEOPLE,
LIKE WHITE COLLAR FAMILIES,
YELLOW MEANT A DECLINING AREA
WITH WORKING CLASS FAMILIES.
AND RED MEANT DETRIMENTAL
ENFORCE INFLUENCES MOST MEANING
NEGROS ES WITH.
THEY THEY ARE HAZARD OLTS TO
LEND IN BECAUSE THEY WERE
INFILTRATED WITH NEGROE OR
THREATED WITH NEGROE
INCOACHMENT.
Trevor: WHAT A TERNL ERA
WHEN THE PHRASE INFULL TRAITED
BY NEGROE COULD BE A TERM USED
BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN
IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR A
DOAB ASS-- ALBUM.
CERTIFICATELY DO YOU KNOW HOW
[BLEEP] IT IS TO DESCRIBE THOSE
NEIGHBOR HOOTDS AS INFILTRATED
BY NEGROES THAT IS WHERE BLACK
PEOPLE LIVE BUT THEY MADE IT
SOUND LIKE BLACK PEOPLE WERE
BREAKING AND ENTERING INTO THEIR
OWN HOUSES OH, SHITI MI IN, OH T
IS MY HOUSE, WHAT AM I DOING.
I LIVE HERE.
YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO READ
BETWEEN THE LINES, YOU KNOW, YOU
SEE BLACK NOW AND YOU ARE TRYING
TO GET A LOAN, IT WILL BE LIKE
WE TAKE A VARIETY-OF-FACTOR POOS
INTO ACCOUNT IN LOAN APPROVAL
PROCESS.
BACK BACK THEN THE MANAGER WAS
LIKE LOOK ALIVE, FELLAS WE HAVE
AN NEGROE ENCROACHING, WHITE
WOMEN IN THE VAULT, COME ON.
BY THE LATE 19 ’60S COURT RULES
THAT RED LINES WAS ILLEGAL.
BUT THERE ARE MORE SUBTLE WAYS
THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE STILL KEPT
FROM PURCHASING HOUSES.
FOR EXAMPLE, REAL ESTATE AGENTS
WHO ARE JUST REALLY TRYING TO
KEEP NEIGHBORHOODS JUST WHITE.
AN UNDERCOVER PROJECT TO SEE
WHETHER WHETHER OR NOT-OF-REAL
ESTATE AGENTS TREATED
PERSPECTIVE TENANTS WHO ARE
BLACK ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN
TENANTS WHO ARE WHITE.
AND THEY DID A LOT.
THE RISKS TO
AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN PARTICULAR
OF SUFFERING POTENTIALS
DISCRIMINATION WAS ABOUT 50-50.
I HAVE HAD AGENTS INVOKE
BURNING CROSSES TO DISSWAYED ME
FROM BUYING A HOME IN CERTAIN
AREAS.
THIS NEWSDAY FOOTAGE SHOWS AN
AGENT HANDLING ONE TESTER WHO IS
BLACK AND WANTS TO SEE A HOUSE
WITHOUT A PREQUALIFICATION
LETTER.
YOU CAN TRY ANOTHER PERSON
BUT I DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO DO
THAT.
BUT FOR THE WHITE BUYER ALSO
WITH NO LETTER.
SHE SHOWS THAT BUYER TWO.
IN OTHER CASES NEWSDAY RECORDS
AGENTS WHO ARE APPEAR TO BE
STEERING MINORITIES TOWARDS
MIXED COMMUNITIES.
EVERY TIME I GET A LISTING OR
CLIENT I GET SO EXCITED
BECAUSE.
BUT WITH A WHITE BUYER THE
SAME AGENT TEXTING HIM ABOUT
RECENT GANG KILLINGS THERE.
THOSE REAL ESTATE AGENTS GOT
CAUGHT, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR
THEIR FEEBL EXCUSES NO, NO, NO,
WHEN I TOLD ONE BUYER THE
NEIGHBORS WERE NICE PEOPLE AND
THE OTHER ONES MR. GANG KILLERS
I MEANT THEY WERE NICE GANG
KILLERS.
BY THE WAY, INVOKING BURNING
CROSSES TRYING TO STOP A BLACK
PERSON FROM MOVING TOO A
NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT ONLY RACIST,
IT IS OVERKILL.
YOU WANT TO STOP A BLACK PERSON
FROM HALVING MOO INTO A HOME,
TELL THEM THEIR NEXT DOOR
NEIGHBOR ADDS RAISE RAISE REINS
TO PEET POAT SALAD, THEY ARE
OUT.
AND EVEN THOUGH RED LINING WAS
OUTLAWED AS AN OFFICIAL POLICY T
SURES LOOKS LIKE THE BANKS ARE
STILL DOING IT.
LENDERS DENY MORTGAGES FOR
BLACK APPLICATIONS AT A RATE 80%
HIGHER THAN THAT OF WHITE
APPLICANTS.
WHEN WE DO GET LOANS THEY ARE
MUCH HIGHER INTEREST RATES, MUCH
WORSE CONDITIONS.
IF YOU ARE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
MAKING MORE THAN 100,000, ARE
YOU MORE LIKELY TO BE PUT INTO A
SUBPRIME LOAN THAN IF YOU WERE A
WHITE PERSON MAKING LESS THAN
$35,000.
SUBSEQUENTLY BLACK AND BROWN
FAMILIES WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTED BY THE 2007-2010
HOUSING CAYSES BEING MORE THAN
TWICE AS LIKELY THAN WHITES TO
LOSE THEIR HOME.
AFTER EDUCATIONAL, CRIME,
HOMES-- IT IS ABOUT 156 BILLION
IN LOST EQUITY.
ONE COUP NELL FLORIDA SAW
THEIR APPRAISAL INCREASE BY 40%
AFTER THEY REMOVED ANY EVIDENCE
THAT A BLACK WOMAN LIVED THERE.
I TOOK DOWN THE FAMILY
PICTURES THAT WE HAD.
IN THE HOME.
AND YOU KNOW BASICALLY ANY
MARKERS THAT THERE WERE
AFRICAN-AMERICANS LIVING IN THE
HOUSE.
REPLACING THEM ONLY WITH
PHOTOS OF HER HUSBAND AND HIS
WHITE FAMILY.
WHEN THE SECOND APPRAISAL
COMES BACK.
THE VALUE OF THEIR HOUSE SHOT
UP MORE THAN 100,000 DOLLARS.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
HER HOME APPRAISAL WENT UP
$100,000, $100,000, GETTING RID
OF HER FAMILY NOT HE OWE DID
MORE FOR HER HOME VALUES THAN
PUTTING IN A SWIMMING POOL.
AND AGAIN, CAN WE AGREE THAT
THIS IS RACIST?
YES, BECAUSE JUST HAVING
PICTURES OF BLACK FAMILY MEMBERS
SHOULDN’T DRIVE DOWN THE VALUE
OF A HOUSE.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE PICTURES OF
BLACK PEOPLE, UNLESS THAT BLACK
PERSON IS R. KELLY, THEN IS LIKE
I DON’T CARE, I KNOW WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN.
THERE SO WHEN IT COMES TO RACIAL
DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING,
AMERICA HAS COME A LONG WAY.
AND THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO
GO.
BUT UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT GETS
CERTIFICATE QUUS ABOUT RACIAL
DISCRIMINATION AND MORTGAGE
LENDING AND WHOLESALINGK WELL,
NEIL HAS GOT YOU COVERED.
ARE YOU TRYING TO SELL YOUR
HOME BUT CAN’T GET A GOOD PRICE?
BECAUSE YOU BLACK?
YOU’RE TRYING TO GET A NEW
HOUSE BUT THESE REAL ESTATE
AGENTS ARE KEEPING YOU IN THE
POOR HOUSE.
PACK THAT MOVING VAN BECAUSE
WE GOT A PLAN.
INTRODUCING LEO’S’ HOME-- I
WILL MAKE YOUR HOUSE LOOK SO
WHITE, THEY’LL THINK WES
ANDERSON MISSING THIS.
I WILL THROW OUT ALL YOUR FAMILY
PHOTOS AND REPLACE THEM WITH
WATERCOLORS OF BOATS.
I WILL EVEN THROW IN A
DIPLOMA FROM DARTMOUTH.
ART HISTORY, YOU KNOW THAT IS
WHITE.
YOUR LIBRARY IS GOING TO GET
WHITIFIED TOO, AND OF COURSE HOW
TO BE ANTI-RACEI BY IN RAM
KENSY.
A THAT IS WHITE HOT.
AND NOTHING SAYS WHITE LIKE
ADDING EXPOSED BRICKS.
MAN, THAT IS RUSTIC AS HELL.
I WILL EVEN WHITE FIE YOUR
GARAGE.
SWAP OUT THAT 2005 HONDA CIVIC
FOR A KAYAK, A PAIR OF SKIS, AND
A VOLLEYBALL NET THAT ONLY GOT
USED ONCE.
LOOKING LIKE AN LLB CATALOG, AND
IF YOU ORDER NOW, I WILL WHITE
FIE YOUR MUSIC COLLECTION.
GOOD-BYE MEGAN THE STALLION,
HELLO BARBARA THE STREISAND.
LEO DEVLIN HOME WHITE IF I KAITION, $85, YOU CAN GET THAT
FROM YOUR MAMA WITHIN.
♪ WHITE IF I KAITION.

PI THE FAIR GROUNDS, EXTRA
NEXT TO FOOT LOCKER.
WHEN WE COME BACK I WILL BE
TALKING WITH AUTHOR ABOUT
WRITING ONE OF THE TOP BOOKS OF
2020 AND THEN MICHAEL JRK FOX
JOINS US ON THE SHOW, STICK AROUND.
Trevor: WELCOME BACK TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANNING SHOW.
EARLIER I SPOKE WITH BRIT
BENNETT, A FASCINATING
DISCUSSION ABOUT HER CRITICALLY
ACCLAIMED NOVEL THAT EXPLORES
THE HISTORY OF BLACK PEOPLE WHO
PASS AS WHITE.
BRIT BENNETT, WELCOME TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW.
HI, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
Trevor: YOU ARE TRULY ONE
OF THE MOST PROLIFIC WRITERS OF
OUR TIME AND ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE
WRITTEN A BOOK THAT HAS SENT TO
THE TOP OF "THE NEW YORK TIMES,"
AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE YOU GOT
INTO A BIDDING WAR WITH WHERE
HBO TOPPED OUT 17 OTHER PEOPLE,
17 OTHER COMPANIES THAT WANTED
THE RIGHTS TO THIS BECOME AND
HBO WON IT OUT.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE 2020 BE
A GREAT YEAR WHEN REALLY IT IS
LIKE A DISMALL YEAR.
BECAUSE ST LIKE THAT FOR MANY
PEOPLE, SOME GREAT MOMENTS.
AND IT IS IN THE MIDST OF THIS
YEAR, ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LIE
AND SAY ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT
HAPPENED TO YOU IN 20211234.
I KNOW IT FEELS SO WILD AND
IT FEELS SO OBVIOUS TO SAY THAT,
I THINK IT IS TRUE THAT THIS HAS
BEEN SUCH A SURREAL YEAR BUT FOR
ME, I FELT SO LUCKY TO HAVE
SPIRNSED THESE HIGHS AND
EXPERIENCED SUCH A WARM
RECEPTION FOR THIS BOOK.
YOUR BOOK THE VANISHING HEART
IS TRULY ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING
STORIES.
YOU SET THE STORY IN THE JIM
CROWE SOUTH WORLD THAT HAS COME
INTO D.C., SO IT IS 50 YEARS
AGO.
AND ST THE STORY OF TWIN SISTERS
WHO RUNAWAY FROM HOME AND THEN
GO INTO WORLD WHERE ALTHOUGH
THERE ARE TWINS, IDENTICAL
TWINS, ONE OF THEM IS WHITER
THAN THE OTHER SO SHE CHOOSES A
PATH WHERE SHE PASSES AS WHITE.
AND THAT IS LITERALLY THE
JUMPING OFF POINT OF THE STORY.
WHERE I WON’T LIE WHEN I FIRST
READ IT I WAS LIKE THIS WILL BE
A BOOK ABOUT RACISM IN THE SOUTH
OR SLAVERY OR OKAY, NO, NO,
ABOUT JIM CROW BUT OH, THERE
WILL BE A WHITE MAN, NO.
I HAVEN’T READ MANY STORIES LIKE
THIS, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL BOOK
ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE TACKLING THE
ISSUES OF RACE AND COLORISM AND
THE IDEAS.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO FRAME IT
LIKE THAT.
IT WAS A REALLY INTERESTING
IDEA.
THANK YOU FIRST OF ALL.
I THINK FOR ME I WANTED TO WRITE
A STORY ABOUT THE NUANCES WITHIN
A BLACK COMMUNITY.
I THINK SOMETIMES TBL IS A
TENDENCY TO THINK THAT THE MORE
INTERESTING STORY IS CONFLICT
BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE.
BUT FOR ME REALLY, I HAVE ALWAYS
SAID THE MOST INTEREST IG THING
TO HAPPEN TO BLACK PEOPLE IS NOT
NECESSARILY WHITE PEOPLE.
OFTEN THE MORE INTERESTING
STORIES AND MORE COMPLICATED
STORIES ARE WITHIN OUR OWN
COMMUNITY.
SO I WANTED TO THINK ABOUT THE
AFFECT OF COLORISM WHICH IS THE
RESULT OF WHITE SUPREMACY AND
THE RESULT OF THAT TYPE OF
IDEOLOGY BUT WHAT DOES THE
COLORISM DO TO PEOPLE AND HOW
DOES IT AFFECT THE CHOICES THESE
CHARACTERS ARE ABLE TO MAKE IN
THEIR LIVES.
I GREW UP IN A COUNTRY WHERE
LITERALLY SHAME DETERMINES YOUR
LIFE, YOU KNOW, I AM SEEN AS
BEING OH, DURING AYA PAR TIED, I
AM TECHNICALLY SUPERIOR TO MY
MOM AND INFERIOR TO MY DAD YET
WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME FAMILY.
WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS BOOK IS
YOU WRITE IN A WAY WHERE THE
CHARACTERS THEMSELVES START TO
UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE PERCEIVING
THEM CAN DETERMINE THEIR WAY IN
LIFE.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT RACE AND
WHEN YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT IT IN
THE BOOK, IS IT INTERESTING TO
REWRITE THE STORY OF LUKE A
RIDICULOUS THING THAT WAS
CREATED AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT
THE RULES THROUGH THE EYES OF
THESE CHARACTERS.
I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WAS SO INTERESTING
TO ME WAS THE ABSURDITY OF IT,
THE IDEA OF WHAT DOES IT EVEN
MEAN TO BE BLACK IF IT IS NOT
LOOKING QUOTE UNQUOTE LOOKING
BLACK.
WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY MEAN FOR
THESE CHARACTERS TO BE BLACK OR
TO BE WHITE, TO WHAT DEGREE ARE
THEY PERFORMING.
AND HOW ARE THEY SORT OF
CREATING OR DE CONSTRUCTING
THEMSELVES IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
SO I THINK WRITING THIS BOOK AND
WHICH TAKES THIS IDEA OF
COLORISM AND REALLY PUSHES IT TO
A VERY EXTREME.
BUT LOOKING AT IT FROM THAT
REALLY EXTREME LENS GAVE ME A
WAY TO SEAT ABSURDITY OF RACE
AND ALL OF IT.
ALL OF ITS NEWANCES EVEN NOW AND
WHEN I’M GROWING UP AND WHEN I
AM ALIVE WHICH IS A VERY
DIFFERENT TIME.
OFTENTIMES WHEN WE READ
STORIES ESPECIALLY IN THE BLACK
COMMUNITY, OF A BLACK PERSON
TRYING TO PASS AS WHITE, THAT
STORY IS WRITTEN FROM A PLACE OF
JUDGMENT.
OF COURSE YOU WANT TO ACT LIKE
YOU ARE BETTER.
YOU WANT TO ESCAPE, BE BETTER
THAN US.
IN THIS STORY IT WAS MORE LIKE
THE PERSON GOING HEY MAN, I HAVE
MADE THESE DECISIONS, I GRAPPLE
WITH THEM AND AS A READER WE ARE
JUST FORCED TO LIVE WITH THEM
GRAPPLING WITH THAT.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO WRITE THEM
IN SUCH A WAY WHERE IT WAS LIKE
THERE IS NO YOU JUDGING T IS
JUST YOU PORTRAYING WHAT THEY
ARE GOING THROUGH.
YEAH, I MEAN I THINK YOU ARE
RIGHT.
I THINK A LOT OF STORIES ARE
VERY MORALIZING.
THE IDEA OF THE CHARACTER THAT
PASSES IS DESERVING OF
PUNISHMENT, OFTEN DEATH IN A LOT
OF THESE STORIES.
FOR ME I JUST DIDN’T FIND THAT
INTERESTING TO CONDEMN SOMEBODY
OR TO ASK IS IT GOOD OR IS IT
BAD TO PASS.
THAT WAS JUST AN UNINTERESTING
QUESTION.
THERE IS A WEIRD WAY IN WHICH
THOSE REALLY QUEENED OF
REAFFIRM-- REAFFIRM THE RACIAL
HIERARCHY BY PUNISHING A
CHARACTER WHO TRANSGRES INNED
SOME WAY.
SO I OBJECTED TO IT WITH A LEVEL
OF INTEREST.
BUT ALSO FROM A KIND OF
POLITICAL AND MORAL STANDPOINT.
I WASN’T INTERESTED IN JUDGING
THE CHARACTERS.
I JUST WANTED TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT DO YOU GAIN AND WHAT DO YOU
LOSE IN DECIDING TO BECOME
SOMEBODY NEW.
AND SO WE LEAVE YOUR COMEUM
BEHIND AND PUTTING A WHOLE NEW
IDENTITY.
HONESTLY, I UNDERSTAND WHY 17
MEDIA COMPANIES WERE BIDDING FOR
THE RIGHTS TO YOUR BOOK.
I SHOULD HAVE JUMPED IN AND MADE
IT 18.
BECAUSE REALLY YOU HAVE
WRITTEN A MASTER PIECE,
CONGRATULATIONS.
THERE IS A REASON IT WAS A BEST
SELLER AND IT WILL BE TURNED IF
AN AMAZING MOVIE OR TRK V
SERIES, WHATEVER ST.
YOU HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB
ONCE AGAIN AND I CAN’T WAIT TO
READ YOUR WRITING OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME
ON THE SHOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, THANKS,.
Trevor: THANK YOU, LOOK
AFTER YOURSELF, DON’T FORGET,
THE VANISHING HEART IS AVAILABLE
NOW.
STICK AROUND BECAUSE WHEN WE KM
BACK THE LEGENDARY MICHAEL JRK
FOX IS JOINING ME ON THE SHOW. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW.
EARLIER TODAY I HAD THE HONOR OF
SPEAKING WITH AWARD-WINNING
ACTOR AND PARKINSON’S SAD VO
KATE MICHAEL JRK FOK.
WE TALKED ABOUT HIS ENDURING
LEGACY, WRITING HIS FOURTH
MEMOIR AND THE MOST DIFFICULT
YEAR THAT ALMOST COST HIM TO
ABANDON HOPE.
MICHAEL J FOX, WELCOME TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW.
NICE TO NOT BE THERE.
IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN THIS IS
YOUR THIRD TIME TECHNICALLY ON
"THE DAILY SHOW" IN ALL ITS
ITERATIONSK CORRECT?
MY 20th TIME, FIRST TIME,
YOU ARE MY THIRD HOST.
IT WAS GREG KIN EAR, AND JON
STEWART, AND THEN YOU.
ARE YOU DOING WELL, TREVOR.
I LIKE HOW YOU SAY IT LIKE IT
IS A CON QUEST, ARE YOU MY THIRD
DAILY SHOW HOST, EXCITED TO SEE
WHAT THE FOURTH IS GOING TO
BRING.
IT MAKES SENSE THAT I AM YOUR
THIRD DAILY SHOW HOST, IT MAKES
SENSE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ON
EVERY SINGLE SHOW BECAUSE YOU
HAVE BEEN SHOW BUSINESS.
YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE YEARS
WHEN YOU WERE THE YOUNG GUY
DOING EVERYTHING, THAT WAS
AMAZING, BUT NOW YOU ARE THE GUY
WHO IS STILL DOING AMAZING
THINGS BUT YOU HAVE THIS AMAZING
JOURNEY WITH PARKINSONS AS WELL
WHERE YOU RAISED MORE MONEY THAN
ANYBODY IN THE WORLD FIGHTING
AGAINST THE DISEASE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR LIFE WHERE
DO YOU SEE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS OR
IS IT JUST ONE-STORY.
I DON’T KNOW.
I DON’T REALLY THINK OF IT IN
THOSE TERMS.
I’M JUST GLAD TO BE HERE, HAPPY
TO BE AROUND.
I HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE, I
MOVED TO CALIFORNIA WHEN I WAS
18, HAD THE SHOW, AND FOUND
MYSELF MARRIED ANG FOUND MYSELF
WITH A CHILD AND PARKINSON’S
DISEASE.
AND ANOTHER SERIES, IT IS JUST
LIKE LIFE JUST GOES LIKE.
THAT.
AND IT IS COOL IF YOU TAKE NOTES
ALONG THE WAY.
BUR IT HAS BEEN A WHIRLWIND.
I SO I DON’T KNOW.
I LOVED BEING 23 AND DRIVING MY
FERRARI 80 MILES AN HOUR,
LIGHTING A CIGARETTE, WHEN I SEE
MYSELF SITTING ON THE BACK PORCH
WITH MY DOG WATCHING RABBITS.
AND I THINK ABOUT IT, THAT KID
STANDING IN THE HOLLYWOOD, IT
WAS A DIFFERENT LIFE.
Trevor: I FEEL LIKE YOU
HAVE LIVED MANY LIVES, YOU KNOW.
AND I THINK IT IS ONLY FITTING
THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN ANOTHER
MEMOIR.
THIS IS YOUR FOURTH ONE NOW BUT
IN THE BACK WHAT I REALLY FOUND
ENDEARING AND MAKES YOU WANT TO
LIFE AND TIMES IT MAKES YOU WANT
TO CRY, IS YOU SHARE HOW HARD IT
IS TO STAY OPTIMISTIC AM YOU
SHARE MOMENTS WHERE YOU GO
ACTUALLY I DON’T KNOW IF I AM
OPTIMISTIC EVERY DAY, ACTUALLY I
AM DE PRESSED.
PARKINSON’S SUNKS, ACTUALLY LIFE
ISN’T ALWAYS EASY.
TALK ME THROUGH WHY YOU DECIDED
TO WRITE A BOOK THAT HAD A
DIFFERENT TONE TO WHAT WE HEARD
FROM YOU SO MUCH IN THE PAST.
CRANKY BOOK, WHAT HAPPENED,
WITH PARKINSON I REACHED-- IT IS
WHAT IT IS, IT IS AN PESSIMISM
POINT OF VIEW, GLATION HALF FULL
OR EMPTY, I FIND IT FULL.
AND DO GAD IF MY LIFE THAT WAY.
THEN I GET TO, THEY FOUND A
TUMOR ON MY SPINE T WILL
PARALYZE NEW SHORT ORDER.
WE HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT.
I FOUND THIS DOCTOR, IN
BALTIMORE JOHNS HOPKINS, HE SAID
I WILL TAKE TOUT.
I CAN TELL YOU WHY, I DON’T WANT
TO BE THE GUY THAT PARALYZES
MICHAEL J FOX.
HE HAD THE BALLS TO SAY THAT, HE
WAS THE GUY, I CAN RELEARN TO
WALK AGAIN, LEARNED THE
MECHANICS OF WALKING AGAIN AND
ALL THAT STUFF.
FINALLY GOT TO LONG STORY SHORT,
GOT TO WHERE I WAS ALONE AT THE
FIRST TIME IN MONTHS, HI NO
AIDES, NO-- HANGING AND WITH ME,
WALKING DOWN MY HALLWAY IN MY
PAMPLET, SEEMED LIKE A BIG SHOT,
WALKED INTO THE KITCHEN, SLIPPED
ON THE STYLE, FELL DOWN AN
SHATTERED MY HUMOUROUS.
MUTILATED IT.
AND I WAS LYING ON THE FLOOR,
OKAY, PUT A SHINNEE FACE ON
THIS.
MAKE THIS HAPPY.
THIS IS IT, THIS SUCKS, THIS
ONLY SUCKS.
IT THIS IS NOT GOOD.
AND IT BEGAN A WHOLE
CONVERSATION I STARTED HAVING
WITH MYSELF.
I HAD-- HAD I SAID.
MADE THIS A THING TRK IS NOT
A THING.
IT IS AN ACTION, IT IS NOT A
WORRY T IS NOT AN IDEA.
I STARTED TO LOOK AT WHAT
BROUGHT ME TO OPTIMISM IN THE
FIRST PLACE WHAT IT WAS ABOUT
OPTIMISM THAT WAS-- I DID A
COUPLE THINGS.
I FOUND MYSELF JUST WITH AN
OPPORTUNITY, WHAT I CAME TO WAS
ACCEPTANCE AND GRATITUDE.
IF YOU HAVE GRATITUDE IN
EVERYTHING, SOME PIECE OF
GRATITUDE, SOME ELEMENT OF
GRATITUDE, YOU CAN SURVIVE
BECAUSE THERE IS A FUTURE IN
THAT.
Trevor: BEFORE I LET YOU
GO, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE,
THAT MISHUMAN BEINGS WOULD EVEN
DREAM TO DO, YOU PUT OVER A
BILLION DOLLARS IN PARKINSON
RESEARCH, HELP RAISED THIS
MONEY.
DO YOU KNOW HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO
SEEING A CURE AND DO YOU THINK
THAT WE’LL SEE A CURE WITHIN
YOUR LIFETIME?
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LEAPS THAT
YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE WORK THAT
YOU HAVE DONE THAT HAVE GIVEN
YOU HOPE?
I DONE KNOW IF IT WILL MAKE A
BIG DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE
BECAUSE DO I SO MUCH, TOO MANY
MILES ON MY CAR ALREADY.
I HAVE RUN THIS OUT.
UNTIL YOU PUT A NEW ENGINE IN
IT, IF YOU TOLL ME IN 20 YEARS, A BILLION DOLLARS, AND NOT HAVE
A CURE YET, WHEN I STARTED, I AM

IMPORTANT WORK.
