1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:03,036
Well, hello, everybody,
and welcome
2
00:00:03,070 --> 00:00:06,340
to our first episode of 2021
3
00:00:06,373 --> 00:00:09,510
and the last episode
of Donald juvenile Trump,
4
00:00:09,543 --> 00:00:11,545
the only American president
who got impeached
5
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:14,147
more times than he got elected.
6
00:00:14,181 --> 00:00:17,818
In 24 hours, Donald Trump
will no longer be president,
7
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:19,253
and Americans will finally
8
00:00:19,286 --> 00:00:22,289
be able to take a deep breath.
9
00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:24,658
Except for the 24 million
of them who have COVID,
10
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:26,126
because of the government's
horrible response.
11
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:27,761
We're gonna be catching
up on all the news,
12
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:29,763
plus Carey Mulligan
will be joining us
13
00:00:29,796 --> 00:00:33,467
to talk about her brand-new
movie Promising Young Woman.
14
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:34,902
So let's do this, people.
15
00:00:34,935 --> 00:00:37,604
Welcome to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
16
00:00:37,638 --> 00:00:41,408
-? ? -ANNOUNCER: From Trevor's
couch in New York City
17
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:44,578
to your couch
somewhere in the world, this is
18
00:00:44,611 --> 00:00:47,481
The Daily Social Distancing
Show with Trevor Noah.
19
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:54,988
Tomorrow, Joe Biden will be
sworn in as the 46th president
20
00:00:55,022 --> 00:00:56,823
of what's left
of the United States.
21
00:00:56,857 --> 00:00:58,859
Although, judging from
the preparations,
22
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:01,962
perhaps "united" isn't
the right word for the country.
23
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:03,730
NEWSMAN:
Tonight, extraordinary security
24
00:01:03,764 --> 00:01:06,633
in the nation's capital.
Officials taking no chances.
25
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:10,604
Military reinforcements
arriving by the planeload.
26
00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:13,707
National Guard troops coming
from every corner of the U.S.
27
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:15,175
NEWSMAN 2:
On every street, more fencing,
28
00:01:15,209 --> 00:01:17,511
more police, more troops.
29
00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:19,046
NEWSMAN 3:
Fencing with razor wire,
30
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,315
barricades and checkpoints
everywhere.
31
00:01:21,348 --> 00:01:22,916
Restrictions on drones,
32
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:24,785
helicopters patrolling
the skies,
33
00:01:24,818 --> 00:01:27,855
and police boats
scouring the Potomac River.
34
00:01:27,888 --> 00:01:30,224
NEWSWOMAN: More than 25,000
National Guard troops
35
00:01:30,257 --> 00:01:31,758
in the nation's capital,
36
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:34,695
many already there
and sleeping on cots.
37
00:01:34,728 --> 00:01:36,463
NEWSWOMAN 2: Biden planned to
take the train from his home
38
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:39,900
in Delaware to D.C.,
but that trip has been canceled
39
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:42,035
due to security concerns about
his arrival at Union Station
40
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:45,305
just blocks from the Capitol.
41
00:01:45,339 --> 00:01:47,574
Aw, man.
Poor Joe Biden.
42
00:01:47,608 --> 00:01:50,310
He loves trains,
but security is so tight
43
00:01:50,344 --> 00:01:51,678
that they won't
let him ride one.
44
00:01:51,712 --> 00:01:53,714
And it makes sense--
trains are the worst way
45
00:01:53,747 --> 00:01:55,916
to get your new president
to his inauguration.
46
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:58,519
Bbecause, forget terrorists.
Biden could get hurt
47
00:01:58,552 --> 00:02:02,222
just from a guy trying to carry
boiling coffee down the aisle.
48
00:02:02,256 --> 00:02:06,159
Also, it's so easy
to plan a train attack,
49
00:02:06,193 --> 00:02:07,594
because a train
can't change course.
50
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:10,197
We all know where it's going.
There's a track.
51
00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:12,699
If a train leaves Delaware
for D.C. at 9:00 a.m.
52
00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:14,301
and it travels
at 80 miles an hour,
53
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:17,804
well, we know
it's gonna get to D.C...
54
00:02:17,838 --> 00:02:19,339
It'll get there...
55
00:02:19,373 --> 00:02:22,242
And this just shows you how
divided America is right now--
56
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:25,512
it's even having trouble
transitioning power
57
00:02:25,546 --> 00:02:28,482
from an old white guy
to an old white guy.
58
00:02:28,515 --> 00:02:30,017
Security wasn't even this tight
when the president
59
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:31,919
was about to be black.
60
00:02:31,952 --> 00:02:34,154
Now, of course, the reason
for all this security is that
61
00:02:34,188 --> 00:02:37,090
no one wants a repeat
of January 6,
62
00:02:37,124 --> 00:02:39,226
when a mob of the world's
angriest aunts and uncles
63
00:02:39,259 --> 00:02:41,695
attacked the Capitol Building.
64
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:44,131
And we all watched the riots
live on the news that day.
65
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:46,133
But as time goes on,
we're finding out that
66
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:50,304
the situation was even crazier
than we thought.
67
00:02:50,337 --> 00:02:53,440
NEWSMAN: New details tonight
show just how close
68
00:02:53,473 --> 00:02:56,977
the violent mob got to the
vice president and his family.
69
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:01,515
NEWSMAN 2: As the mob
chanted "Hang Mike Pence"
70
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:03,283
and a makeshift gallows went up,
71
00:03:03,317 --> 00:03:05,652
the vice president,
his wife and daughter,
72
00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:07,721
were just seconds away
from being spotted,
73
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:09,456
according to
The Washington Post.
74
00:03:09,489 --> 00:03:12,226
At one point, they were hiding
less than 100 feet
75
00:03:12,259 --> 00:03:15,262
from the violent crowd
attacking police officers,
76
00:03:15,295 --> 00:03:16,830
journalists and others.
77
00:03:16,864 --> 00:03:20,367
NEWSWOMAN: And the chilling
search for Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
78
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:25,606
NEWSWOMAN: Inside the Senate
Chamber, insurrection.
79
00:03:31,011 --> 00:03:32,980
Where the (bleep) are they?
80
00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:34,748
Where are they?
81
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:47,394
You know,
I used to blame lawmakers
82
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:49,129
for not getting anything done.
83
00:03:49,162 --> 00:03:50,430
But now I'm starting
to think that maybe
84
00:03:50,464 --> 00:03:53,534
it's the Capitol Building
that jams up Congress.
85
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:55,002
Because did you see this mob?
86
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:57,804
They came in with the goal
to overthrow the government!
87
00:03:57,838 --> 00:03:58,939
But then, once they got in,
they were like...
88
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:01,708
Yeah!
Let's throw this thing...
89
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:03,076
You know what, maybe we should
vote on something.
90
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:04,645
I don't know.
Let's...
91
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:06,680
Actually, guys,
let's adjourn for the day.
92
00:04:06,713 --> 00:04:09,883
We'll come back tomorrow, and...
We couldn't get anything done.
93
00:04:09,917 --> 00:04:11,485
And if you didn't
believe it before,
94
00:04:11,518 --> 00:04:13,487
this is how you really know
that Trump supporters
95
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,656
are a cult.
96
00:04:15,689 --> 00:04:19,359
Because they wanted
to hang Mike Pence
97
00:04:19,393 --> 00:04:21,261
for finally accepting
the election results.
98
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:22,863
Mike Pence, people.
99
00:04:22,896 --> 00:04:26,800
No one has been more loyal
to Trump than Mike Pence.
100
00:04:26,834 --> 00:04:29,269
While Trump was screwing
America over last four years,
101
00:04:29,303 --> 00:04:31,872
Mike Pence was gently
guiding his hips from behind.
102
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:35,876
Now you're calling him
a traitor? Mike Pence?
103
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:38,378
And I know people
don't like him, but I for one
104
00:04:38,412 --> 00:04:41,448
am really glad that this mob
didn't hurt Mike Pence.
105
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:43,350
'Cause I think
we could all agree that
106
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:44,885
no one should
have to die a virgin.
107
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:46,553
Now, since that day,
108
00:04:46,587 --> 00:04:49,623
the FBI has rounded up
over 130 people
109
00:04:49,656 --> 00:04:52,593
so far for taking part
in the assault on the Capitol.
110
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:54,261
And if you're wondering
how on earth
111
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:55,562
did they find
all these people, well,
112
00:04:55,596 --> 00:04:58,098
it turns out
it was all on the 'gram.
113
00:04:58,131 --> 00:04:59,733
NEWSMAN:
The man posing beneath the sign
114
00:04:59,766 --> 00:05:01,835
above Nancy Pelosi's office
115
00:05:01,869 --> 00:05:04,371
is a firefighter from Florida,
Andy Williams.
116
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:07,274
We're all trying to get into
the Capitol to stop this.
117
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,810
NEWSMAN: A corporate lawyer
from Dallas, Paul Davis,
118
00:05:09,843 --> 00:05:13,514
posted this video and was
quickly identified by his boss.
119
00:05:13,547 --> 00:05:16,783
Nicholas Rodean wore his
work ID badge around his neck.
120
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:20,754
NEWSMAN 2: This man posted
a selfie, smoking a cigarette,
121
00:05:20,787 --> 00:05:23,790
with the caption
"Hello from the Capitol lol."
122
00:05:23,824 --> 00:05:26,159
NEWSMAN 3: The man who put his
feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk
123
00:05:26,193 --> 00:05:29,062
is 60-year-old Richard Barnett,
124
00:05:29,096 --> 00:05:30,964
known as Bigo.
125
00:05:35,869 --> 00:05:38,238
NEWSMAN 3:
And this fellow, Derrick Evans,
126
00:05:38,272 --> 00:05:41,275
livestreamed the moment
he and others members of the mob
127
00:05:41,308 --> 00:05:43,243
broke into the Capitol.
128
00:05:47,214 --> 00:05:49,216
No, guys, guys,
you can't be serious.
129
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:50,851
Has it really gotten this bad,
130
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:52,819
that social media has
poisoned us to the point where
131
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,922
we're gonna
livestream our treason?
132
00:05:54,955 --> 00:05:58,992
And I love how some MAGA people
were like, "This is our 1776."
133
00:05:59,026 --> 00:06:00,861
Yeah, guys, you didn't
see George Washington
134
00:06:00,894 --> 00:06:02,229
crossing the Delaware like,
135
00:06:02,262 --> 00:06:04,798
"I do declare... selfie!"
136
00:06:04,831 --> 00:06:06,200
I will say, though,
137
00:06:06,233 --> 00:06:08,402
this is an argument
for defunding the police.
138
00:06:08,435 --> 00:06:10,404
Because you don't need billions
of dollars for detectives
139
00:06:10,437 --> 00:06:11,705
when you can find criminals
140
00:06:11,738 --> 00:06:14,007
just by scrolling
your Instagram discover page.
141
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:15,576
So after four years,
President Trump
142
00:06:15,609 --> 00:06:17,277
is spending
his last days in power
143
00:06:17,311 --> 00:06:20,547
like many tin-pot dictators:
convincing his most rabid fans
144
00:06:20,581 --> 00:06:23,350
to keep fighting
for a lost cause while he
145
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:24,852
hides in a bunker
somewhere.
146
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:26,086
But whether you hate Trump
147
00:06:26,119 --> 00:06:28,322
or whether you just
mildly dislike him,
148
00:06:28,355 --> 00:06:30,757
you have to admit
a few things about this man.
149
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:34,661
Number one: he has changed
American politics forever.
150
00:06:34,695 --> 00:06:36,697
For starters, the red phone
in the Oval Office
151
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:39,633
will always call McDonald's
instead of the Pentagon.
152
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:40,868
That's not going to change.
153
00:06:40,901 --> 00:06:43,070
Also, he's completely
dropped the bar
154
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:44,638
for presidential behavior.
155
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:46,440
I mean, in ten years a president
could pee in the middle
156
00:06:46,473 --> 00:06:48,542
of a press conference,
and everyone will just be like,
157
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:51,345
"Huh, I guess
he just had to go."
158
00:06:51,378 --> 00:06:54,014
Also, you got to admit
that Trump,
159
00:06:54,047 --> 00:06:58,218
from the time he ran for
president, he's been consistent.
160
00:06:58,252 --> 00:07:00,254
You know, the victimhood
and the racial resentment
161
00:07:00,287 --> 00:07:03,123
that came down
that escalator in 2015--
162
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,858
well, those are the same
that ended up at the Capitol
163
00:07:04,892 --> 00:07:06,693
on January 6th.
164
00:07:06,727 --> 00:07:09,663
And because Trump has been
so consistently bad,
165
00:07:09,696 --> 00:07:11,965
because he's been so consistent
at being himself,
166
00:07:11,999 --> 00:07:16,336
he's exposed how bullshit
so many other people are.
167
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:17,971
For instance, Fox News.
168
00:07:18,005 --> 00:07:22,609
They spent all of 2020 screaming
that "blue lives matter."
169
00:07:22,643 --> 00:07:24,311
The way Fox News defended police
170
00:07:24,344 --> 00:07:26,013
during the George Floyd
protests,
171
00:07:26,046 --> 00:07:28,549
you would have thought
that opposing police brutality
172
00:07:28,582 --> 00:07:30,384
was the same thing
as killing police.
173
00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:33,554
But then, when their people
stormed the Capitol
174
00:07:33,587 --> 00:07:36,557
and police at the Capitol were
beaten and actually killed--
175
00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:38,959
two officers
were actually killed--
176
00:07:38,992 --> 00:07:41,495
all of a sudden,
Fox News is saying this.
177
00:07:41,528 --> 00:07:43,330
These are not
conspiracy theorists
178
00:07:43,363 --> 00:07:44,932
motivated just by lies.
179
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:47,167
Uh, that's a bunch of nonsense
that people want to tell us.
180
00:07:47,201 --> 00:07:48,669
These are people that understand
first principles.
181
00:07:48,702 --> 00:07:51,104
They love freedom
and they love free markets,
182
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:53,207
and they see exactly
what the anti-American left
183
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,508
has done to America.
184
00:07:54,541 --> 00:07:56,176
So many of them
are just patriotic,
185
00:07:56,210 --> 00:07:58,312
well-loving Americans
who are frustrated
186
00:07:58,345 --> 00:08:00,247
that their institutions
of government,
187
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,217
of media, uh,
have let them down.
188
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:05,252
A lot of these people
are not dispossessed.
189
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:08,222
They're not some, you know,
creepy, androgynous blogger
190
00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:09,756
who shows up
to burn things down.
191
00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:11,491
They're, like,
kind of solid Americans.
192
00:08:11,525 --> 00:08:13,594
Ah, I get it now.
193
00:08:13,627 --> 00:08:16,096
These people weren't
creepy bloggers.
194
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:18,298
They were solid,
law-abiding Americans.
195
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:20,434
And nobody is allowed
to kill cops
196
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:23,036
except for the people
who respect cops.
197
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:24,872
They can do whatever they want.
198
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:29,209
Also, where the hell did "They
love free markets" come from?
199
00:08:29,243 --> 00:08:30,744
Free markets?
200
00:08:30,777 --> 00:08:33,680
I wasn't picking that up when
people were smashing windows
201
00:08:33,714 --> 00:08:34,681
and breaking the Capitol down.
202
00:08:34,715 --> 00:08:36,083
Like, free markets?
203
00:08:36,116 --> 00:08:38,318
Free markets are not
something that drives a riot.
204
00:08:38,352 --> 00:08:40,087
No one's ever slapped someone
over a free market before,
205
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,422
much less murdered
a police officer.
206
00:08:42,456 --> 00:08:43,690
Look, man, the point is,
207
00:08:43,724 --> 00:08:45,292
you guys clearly don't care
about cops.
208
00:08:45,325 --> 00:08:47,494
You only care about the idea
of using cops
209
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:49,663
to keep Black people
in their place,
210
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:53,033
so please miss me
with that bullshit.
211
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,701
Also, Lindsey Graham.
212
00:08:54,735 --> 00:08:56,403
Whether you're a liberal
or conservative,
213
00:08:56,436 --> 00:08:58,338
everyone should agree
that this asshole,
214
00:08:58,372 --> 00:09:00,340
this Cracker Barrel mascot
is a weasel,
215
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:01,975
the worst weasel of any kind,
216
00:09:02,009 --> 00:09:03,844
because after the Capitol
was stormed--
217
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:05,212
after the Capitol was stormed--
218
00:09:05,245 --> 00:09:06,747
and it looked
like Trump was done,
219
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:09,683
he gave a big speech about how
he was done supporting Trump
220
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:11,685
because Trump "took it too far.
221
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:13,387
"He just took things too far.
222
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:14,821
Oh, no."
223
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:16,123
But then, the next week,
224
00:09:16,156 --> 00:09:17,758
he was suddenly flying
on Air Force One again
225
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:19,259
because he realized
Trump wasn't out,
226
00:09:19,293 --> 00:09:22,763
and then he started blaming
the attack on the Democrats.
227
00:09:22,796 --> 00:09:24,131
NEWSWOMAN:
Senator Lindsey Graham
228
00:09:24,164 --> 00:09:25,532
placing blame
for the Capitol Hill riot
229
00:09:25,566 --> 00:09:27,868
on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Watch this.
230
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,169
GRAHAM: What happened
on January the 6th
231
00:09:29,203 --> 00:09:33,207
was one of the low points
in my time in office.
232
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,078
It was horrendous to see people
come and take over the Capitol,
233
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:40,514
the House and the Senate,
beat officers,
234
00:09:40,547 --> 00:09:42,583
defile the seat of government.
235
00:09:42,616 --> 00:09:44,284
How in the hell
could that happen?
236
00:09:44,318 --> 00:09:45,819
Where was Nancy Pelosi?
237
00:09:45,853 --> 00:09:48,322
It's her job to provide
Capitol security.
238
00:09:48,355 --> 00:09:51,825
"Yeah, Nancy,
why weren't you in your office
239
00:09:51,859 --> 00:09:55,028
"when people were coming
to kidnap or kill you?
240
00:09:55,062 --> 00:09:56,697
"What were you hiding, yourself?
241
00:09:56,730 --> 00:10:00,133
Aha! We got you,
Nancy, we got you."
242
00:10:00,167 --> 00:10:04,137
What did Lindsey Graham expect
Nancy Pelosi to do, huh?
243
00:10:04,171 --> 00:10:05,939
Set up booby traps
in the Capitol
244
00:10:05,973 --> 00:10:07,875
like an old-age Home Alone?
245
00:10:07,908 --> 00:10:12,145
Please, please miss me
with this bullshit.
246
00:10:12,179 --> 00:10:14,581
And this also goes out
to all those Republicans
247
00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:16,550
who spent four years
backing a president
248
00:10:16,583 --> 00:10:17,818
who called his opponents
249
00:10:17,851 --> 00:10:20,354
"un-American"
and "enemies of the people,"
250
00:10:20,387 --> 00:10:23,056
but now,
now that he's getting impeached
251
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:24,324
and might be held accountable,
252
00:10:24,358 --> 00:10:27,794
oh, all of a sudden
it's time to move on.
253
00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:29,596
Today is a moment
for members of Congress
254
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:31,932
to put aside
partisan politicking
255
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,234
and place people over power.
256
00:10:34,268 --> 00:10:36,203
We should be focused
on bringing the nation together.
257
00:10:36,236 --> 00:10:39,473
We must be bigger and better
than the most base of instincts
258
00:10:39,506 --> 00:10:41,942
that have been driving
our political discourse.
259
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:44,311
It is destroying us.
260
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:48,148
Let's link arms with one
another and begin to heal.
261
00:10:48,182 --> 00:10:49,616
Does not matter
262
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:53,153
if you are liberal,
moderate or conservative.
263
00:10:53,187 --> 00:10:55,622
All of us must resist
the temptation
264
00:10:55,656 --> 00:10:57,925
of further polarization.
265
00:10:57,958 --> 00:11:01,128
As history shows,
unity is not an option,
266
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:02,829
it's a necessity.
267
00:11:02,863 --> 00:11:05,265
Okay, I don't know
what crazy-ass world
268
00:11:05,299 --> 00:11:06,767
you people grew up in,
269
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,802
but how are you going
to start a fight
270
00:11:08,836 --> 00:11:11,505
and then tell everyone else
to calm down?
271
00:11:11,538 --> 00:11:13,874
Can you imagine if a terrorist
tried to hijack a plane,
272
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:15,542
and then after the marshal
tackled him, he says,
273
00:11:15,576 --> 00:11:18,745
"Okay, okay, I think
everyone needs to calm down!
274
00:11:18,779 --> 00:11:21,915
"Let's just come together
and watch the rest of Croods.
275
00:11:21,949 --> 00:11:24,751
"All right?
Let's just do this together.
276
00:11:24,785 --> 00:11:25,853
"I'm gonna have the chicken,
thank you.
277
00:11:25,886 --> 00:11:29,223
Shh! The movie."
278
00:11:30,224 --> 00:11:33,460
All these people who tried
to overthrow the government,
279
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:36,363
yo, they can miss me
with that bullshit.
280
00:11:36,396 --> 00:11:39,132
And it's not just Fox,
it's not just Republicans.
281
00:11:39,166 --> 00:11:42,035
Social media companies,
for years
282
00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:44,238
people have been warning you
about the violence
283
00:11:44,271 --> 00:11:46,240
and conspiracy
that you've been amplifying
284
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:48,742
and allowing to spread
on your platforms,
285
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:52,479
and for years you've said
you can't do anything about it,
286
00:11:52,513 --> 00:11:54,882
but now that the Capitol
has been ransacked,
287
00:11:54,915 --> 00:11:57,417
now, all of a sudden,
it turns out you can.
288
00:11:57,451 --> 00:11:58,819
"Now that the violence
has happened,
289
00:11:58,852 --> 00:12:00,087
"we're gonna do
everything we can
290
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,422
to stop the violence
from happening."
291
00:12:02,456 --> 00:12:04,024
I mean, I don't know
if I'm the only one,
292
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:06,426
but I think it's really funny
how social media companies said
293
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:10,464
that they don't have a magic
button to stop hate online,
294
00:12:10,497 --> 00:12:12,466
but then, when Trump lost,
suddenly they were like,
295
00:12:12,499 --> 00:12:14,201
"Oh, we do have that button.
296
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:15,502
Here it is."
297
00:12:15,536 --> 00:12:17,738
So, what, now these companies
want a cookie
298
00:12:17,771 --> 00:12:19,239
for doing the right thing
too late?
299
00:12:19,273 --> 00:12:21,642
Miss me with that bullshit.
300
00:12:21,675 --> 00:12:24,111
I will say, though,
it was funny that random apps
301
00:12:24,144 --> 00:12:25,679
that had nothing
to do with Trump
302
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:28,448
also decided to pile
on the Trump ban,
303
00:12:28,482 --> 00:12:31,385
like when Spotify and Pinterest
banned Donald Trump.
304
00:12:31,418 --> 00:12:32,486
What was that for?
305
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:33,754
What, did Spotify think
306
00:12:33,787 --> 00:12:35,022
that Trump was going
to release a mixtape?
307
00:12:35,055 --> 00:12:36,456
What's the Pinterest ban for?
308
00:12:36,490 --> 00:12:39,159
Is Trump going to put up
border wall images on his page?
309
00:12:39,193 --> 00:12:43,163
Although... it would be funny if
Spotify was actually the thing
310
00:12:43,197 --> 00:12:44,831
that broke Donald Trump's heart.
311
00:12:44,865 --> 00:12:46,366
Like, if he was just sitting
there, like,
312
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,402
I don't care
that they blocked my Twitter
313
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:50,437
or my Instagram or Facebook.
314
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:53,407
I've still got
my Spotify... (yells)
315
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,509
(sobbing yell)
316
00:12:55,542 --> 00:12:57,277
Look, man, here's the thing:
317
00:12:57,311 --> 00:13:00,480
by this time tomorrow, Donald
Trump will be out of power,
318
00:13:00,514 --> 00:13:03,483
and I just hope, I hope
that he slowly fades away,
319
00:13:03,517 --> 00:13:05,452
like one of his tans.
320
00:13:05,485 --> 00:13:07,821
And I know that he'll
never fully be gone, all right.
321
00:13:07,855 --> 00:13:09,323
He's basically
the COVID of politics.
322
00:13:09,356 --> 00:13:11,058
America's going to be
experiencing side effects
323
00:13:11,091 --> 00:13:13,026
long after
he's out of the system.
324
00:13:13,060 --> 00:13:14,394
And, unfortunately,
325
00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:17,364
we're probably going to see
mutated strains as well.
326
00:13:17,397 --> 00:13:20,667
But I do hope that with him
at least not being president,
327
00:13:20,701 --> 00:13:24,104
we can all get back to being a
bit more honest with each other,
328
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:27,774
and more nuanced in how
we talk about what divides us.
329
00:13:27,808 --> 00:13:29,676
That's my wish
for the next year.
330
00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:31,979
Because I don't know what 2021
is going to bring,
331
00:13:32,012 --> 00:13:33,480
but if it involves
any bullshit,
332
00:13:33,514 --> 00:13:37,317
I kindly request
that I be missed.
333
00:13:37,351 --> 00:13:38,552
All right, when we come back,
334
00:13:38,585 --> 00:13:41,488
we'll take a look
at all the amazing thing
335
00:13:41,522 --> 00:13:44,358
Jared and Ivanka
accomplished in office.
336
00:13:44,391 --> 00:13:47,094
And Carey Mulligan is still
joining us on the show.
337
00:13:47,127 --> 00:13:49,263
Don't go away.
338
00:13:49,296 --> 00:13:50,998
? ?
339
00:13:54,301 --> 00:13:55,636
(heart beating)
340
00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:56,703
I'm here in D.C.
341
00:13:56,737 --> 00:13:58,205
It's an exciting day.
342
00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:00,307
Almost half the adults
in our country
343
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,943
are asking for a do-over.
344
00:14:02,976 --> 00:14:05,679
USA! USA!
345
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:07,214
USA!
346
00:14:07,247 --> 00:14:09,550
(bleep) antifa! (bleep) antifa!
347
00:14:09,583 --> 00:14:10,951
(bleep) antifa!
348
00:14:10,984 --> 00:14:12,653
-(crowd shouting)
-Oh, shit.
349
00:14:12,686 --> 00:14:14,388
I suppose if you brought
all of these flags
350
00:14:14,421 --> 00:14:15,722
and all of these garments,
351
00:14:15,756 --> 00:14:18,892
you've got to do something
like this.
352
00:14:18,926 --> 00:14:20,894
I mean,
they've been prepping for this
353
00:14:20,928 --> 00:14:24,731
at least sartorially for years.
354
00:14:24,765 --> 00:14:26,300
Uh, tell me about your...
wh-what's on your back?
355
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:28,135
-Uh, "Q" flag.
-"Q" flag.
356
00:14:28,168 --> 00:14:29,336
QAnon.
357
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:30,470
I'm one of those crazy people.
358
00:14:30,504 --> 00:14:31,872
You're one of those cr...
359
00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:34,208
"Q"... "Q" is somebody
who just helped wake us up.
360
00:14:34,241 --> 00:14:35,509
Yeah. Yeah.
361
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:37,377
It makes you ask questions. It
makes all of us ask questions.
362
00:14:37,411 --> 00:14:38,946
It's like, why would people
believe in this
363
00:14:38,979 --> 00:14:40,914
conspiracy that a
12-year-old in a basement
364
00:14:40,948 --> 00:14:42,649
put it on the Internet and now
it's affecting our country.
365
00:14:45,352 --> 00:14:47,321
Joseph Biden, and "Kamula,"
366
00:14:47,354 --> 00:14:49,323
your buddy, "Kamula" Harris,
367
00:14:49,356 --> 00:14:51,358
are not legitimate.
368
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:52,559
You know what I think this is?
369
00:14:52,593 --> 00:14:55,529
This is a gang rape
of our nation.
370
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:58,665
We are watching our country
be gang raped.
371
00:14:58,699 --> 00:15:00,567
Like, look into
your (bleep) heart, okay?
372
00:15:00,601 --> 00:15:02,069
It's not a joke.
373
00:15:02,102 --> 00:15:03,470
-Look, you make a good point,
-Yes, I do.
374
00:15:03,504 --> 00:15:05,138
-but you are wearing...
-I'm pissed off right now.
375
00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:07,074
you're wearing a one...
a onesie that is a flag, so...
376
00:15:07,107 --> 00:15:08,742
-it does...
-'Cause I (bleep) like...
377
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:11,011
I, 'cause I'm... I'm about
what I (bleep) represent here.
378
00:15:11,044 --> 00:15:12,913
Yeah, how'd you get
your bike in?
379
00:15:12,946 --> 00:15:14,081
Right over here.
380
00:15:14,114 --> 00:15:16,283
What kind of bike best works
381
00:15:16,316 --> 00:15:19,720
for a futile attempt
to thwart democracy?
382
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:21,889
So, like a crosstrack situation?
383
00:15:21,922 --> 00:15:23,223
Uh, that's-that's just
a weird question.
384
00:15:23,257 --> 00:15:24,424
I-I don't...
385
00:15:24,458 --> 00:15:26,693
The revolution
will not be televised.
386
00:15:26,727 --> 00:15:28,695
They will also
not be providing chairs.
387
00:15:28,729 --> 00:15:29,930
So bring your own.
388
00:15:32,199 --> 00:15:33,534
Great. Thanks.
389
00:15:34,701 --> 00:15:35,869
Planning ahead.
390
00:15:35,903 --> 00:15:37,070
People are mad about it,
391
00:15:37,104 --> 00:15:39,006
and they came here
to make a statement.
392
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:40,874
-I want a redo.
-You want a redo?
393
00:15:40,908 --> 00:15:41,909
I want a redo...
394
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:43,377
The good news is
the Constitution
395
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:45,546
has set aside a way
to do a redo,
396
00:15:45,579 --> 00:15:47,948
and that's, we'll just come back
and do it again in four years.
397
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:50,117
USA! USA! USA!
398
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:56,489
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
399
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:58,657
The four years
of the Trump administration
400
00:15:58,691 --> 00:16:01,961
has been one blooper montage
of scandals.
401
00:16:01,994 --> 00:16:04,630
We've had everything
from kids in cages
402
00:16:04,663 --> 00:16:07,032
to a Sharpie
on a hurricane map.
403
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:08,200
And in the very last week,
404
00:16:08,234 --> 00:16:09,902
the administration,
believe it or not,
405
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:11,237
has managed to squeeze in
406
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:14,006
what might be
the funniest scandal yet.
407
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:16,141
Ivanka Trump
and husband, Jared Kushner,
408
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:17,977
reportedly instructed
their Secret Service detail
409
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:21,547
not to use any of the bathrooms
in their Washington home.
410
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:23,616
NEWSWOMAN: The Washington Post
says since 2017,
411
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,251
taxpayers have been
footing the bill
412
00:16:25,284 --> 00:16:29,121
to rent a nearby studio
apartment for $3,000 a month
413
00:16:29,155 --> 00:16:31,857
so agents could have access
to a toilet.
414
00:16:31,891 --> 00:16:33,492
Okay, now,
before you judge these two,
415
00:16:33,526 --> 00:16:36,328
keep in mind
that Ivanka and Jared
416
00:16:36,362 --> 00:16:39,031
probably have
really weird bathrooms.
417
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:40,666
I mean, look at them.
418
00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:42,301
They don't even look like
they use toilets.
419
00:16:42,334 --> 00:16:44,370
You know, when...
when Jared has to go,
420
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:46,305
Ivanka probably
just squeezes him
421
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:48,174
like an old tube of toothpaste.
422
00:16:48,207 --> 00:16:50,142
Or maybe the reason
they did this
423
00:16:50,176 --> 00:16:51,777
is not because
they're snooty and snobbish,
424
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:53,245
maybe they did it
because they want to protect
425
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:54,346
the Secret Service.
426
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:55,514
Do you ever think about that?
427
00:16:55,548 --> 00:16:59,218
Huh? Like, maybe...
maybe Ivanka takes mega-dumps.
428
00:16:59,251 --> 00:17:00,619
You know
what I'm talking about.
429
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:02,488
You know those dumps where
you walk into the bathroom,
430
00:17:02,521 --> 00:17:04,824
and it's like a wall of smell
pushes you back out?
431
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:06,959
(groaning)
432
00:17:06,992 --> 00:17:08,627
Yeah, maybe Ivanka and Jared
were like,
433
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,396
"Look, you Secret Service agents
434
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:12,264
"might need to take a bullet
for us one day.
435
00:17:12,298 --> 00:17:14,233
"There's no need
to take one every day.
436
00:17:14,266 --> 00:17:15,734
Just use the apartment."
437
00:17:15,768 --> 00:17:17,636
But say what you want
about Jared and Ivanka.
438
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:21,874
The two of them have been loyal
to their big papa to the end,
439
00:17:21,907 --> 00:17:25,444
which is why they deserve
a farewell tribute
440
00:17:25,477 --> 00:17:27,980
for their four years of...
441
00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:30,216
Whatever it is that they did.
442
00:17:30,249 --> 00:17:32,651
LYDIC: Who has been
the most valuable member
443
00:17:32,685 --> 00:17:33,953
of the Trump team?
444
00:17:33,986 --> 00:17:35,888
Sean Hannity?
445
00:17:35,921 --> 00:17:37,857
The MyPillow guy?
446
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,593
Melania's noise-cancelling
headphones?
447
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:43,195
Actually,
that's a trick question.
448
00:17:43,229 --> 00:17:46,098
The most important person
in the Trump administration
449
00:17:46,131 --> 00:17:47,900
isn't one person.
450
00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:49,602
It's a couple.
451
00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:52,137
Ivanka Trump
and Jared Kushner.
452
00:17:57,810 --> 00:17:59,245
Jared and Ivanka,
453
00:17:59,278 --> 00:18:00,646
or Jarvanka,
454
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:02,681
might have been
Washington outsiders
455
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:03,949
when Trump won the election,
456
00:18:03,983 --> 00:18:06,352
but they've had a world
of experience
457
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:08,420
serving everyday Americans.
458
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:10,923
Ivanka sold them handbags
459
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:13,225
and Jared evicted them.
460
00:18:13,259 --> 00:18:16,362
Trump knew that Jarvanka
was the couple for the job,
461
00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:17,830
any job.
462
00:18:17,863 --> 00:18:20,733
Ivanka became adviser
to the president,
463
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,602
an important role
in which she was tasked with...
464
00:18:23,636 --> 00:18:26,539
advising the president?
465
00:18:26,572 --> 00:18:29,375
Jared, meanwhile,
had a bit more on his plate.
466
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:30,709
NEWSMAN:
Middle East peace,
467
00:18:30,743 --> 00:18:32,111
criminal justice reform,
the opioid crisis,
468
00:18:32,144 --> 00:18:33,779
reforming care for veterans,
469
00:18:33,812 --> 00:18:35,714
lead adviser on relations
with China, Mexico,
470
00:18:35,748 --> 00:18:37,683
Canada, Middle East,
infrastructure trade deals,
471
00:18:37,716 --> 00:18:39,952
broadband policy
and border wall construction.
472
00:18:39,985 --> 00:18:41,387
LYDIC:
That's right.
473
00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:43,355
Jared Kushner was like
a Swiss Army knife...
474
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:45,791
if all the tools
were nail clippers.
475
00:18:45,825 --> 00:18:48,060
Though Jarvanka didn't get off
476
00:18:48,093 --> 00:18:50,029
to the smoothest start
in the world,
477
00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:53,132
Ivanka tried to use her new
position to hawk jewelry,
478
00:18:53,165 --> 00:18:55,267
while Jared had to redo
his financial disclosure forms
479
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:57,303
more than 40 times.
480
00:18:57,336 --> 00:18:59,405
The president even had
to bend the rules
481
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:02,575
to get Jared and Ivanka
their security clearances.
482
00:19:02,608 --> 00:19:05,644
Just because the corrupt,
deep-state FBI Were jealous
483
00:19:05,678 --> 00:19:07,780
of all the cool
foreign business contacts
484
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,049
Jared's had over the years.
485
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:12,218
But despite the odds stacked
against them,
486
00:19:12,251 --> 00:19:15,421
Jared and Ivanka took Washington
by storm.
487
00:19:17,456 --> 00:19:20,659
Did they have
relevant experience? No.
488
00:19:20,693 --> 00:19:22,528
Were they qualified
for their positions?
489
00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:24,530
No.
490
00:19:24,563 --> 00:19:26,098
But what did they accomplish?
491
00:19:26,131 --> 00:19:28,367
Yes.
492
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,836
They hit the ground running.
493
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:32,404
Jared got busy solving America's
494
00:19:32,438 --> 00:19:33,839
criminal-just-opioid
495
00:19:33,873 --> 00:19:35,875
Middle Eastern,
China-Mex-Canada wall.
496
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:38,777
And Ivanka... toured factories,
497
00:19:38,811 --> 00:19:42,481
visited spaceships and even
performed science stuff.
498
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:47,553
It's like that old saying--
"Pics and it didn't happen."
499
00:19:47,586 --> 00:19:51,090
But it was on foreign affairs
that Jarvanka really scored.
500
00:19:51,123 --> 00:19:54,293
Jared jetted off to Iraq
to model the latest
501
00:19:54,326 --> 00:19:57,630
from the Brooks Brothers
Forever War collection.
502
00:19:57,663 --> 00:20:00,432
He heroically preserved
U.S.-Saudi Arabia relations
503
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:02,968
after they had a little oopsy
with an American journalist.
504
00:20:03,002 --> 00:20:05,471
And he turned out
to be the perfect person
505
00:20:05,504 --> 00:20:08,274
to solve the conflict
between Israel and Palestine.
506
00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:10,276
NEWSMAN: I want
to read you what he said.
507
00:20:10,309 --> 00:20:11,877
"I've been studying this now
for three years.
508
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:13,812
I've read 25 books on it."
509
00:20:13,846 --> 00:20:16,448
LYDIC:
That's right, 25 books.
510
00:20:16,482 --> 00:20:19,552
Kushner had acquired a Goosebump
series worth of knowledge,
511
00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:22,254
and he was ready
to put it to use.
512
00:20:22,288 --> 00:20:23,923
Meanwhile, Ivanka.
513
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:26,625
She sat in her dad's chair
at a G20 summit.
514
00:20:26,659 --> 00:20:28,694
So that's fun.
515
00:20:28,727 --> 00:20:31,697
Jarvanka did such a good job,
that in 2020,
516
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:35,334
President Trump gave Jared
his most important job yet:
517
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:37,002
overseeing
the government's response
518
00:20:37,036 --> 00:20:38,971
to the coronavirus pandemic.
519
00:20:39,004 --> 00:20:42,041
And Jared was ready to claim
victory almost immediately.
520
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,175
I think you'll see by June,
521
00:20:43,209 --> 00:20:44,677
a lot of country
should be back to normal,
522
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:46,445
and the hope is,
is that by July,
523
00:20:46,478 --> 00:20:48,414
uh, the country's
really rocking again.
524
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:52,184
? ?
525
00:20:52,218 --> 00:20:55,521
LYDIC: But there was one issue
where Jarvanka really shined,
526
00:20:55,554 --> 00:20:58,691
and that issue...
was themselves.
527
00:20:58,724 --> 00:21:00,192
NEWSWOMAN:
Hey, brand-new questions today
528
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:02,995
about Jared Kushner's
real estate dealings.
529
00:21:03,028 --> 00:21:05,998
Last summer, his property
at 666 Fifth Avenue--
530
00:21:06,031 --> 00:21:08,000
it got a much-needed
infusion of cash,
531
00:21:08,033 --> 00:21:09,702
but where did it come from?
532
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:13,038
China, on April 6,
approved Ivanka Trump's
533
00:21:13,072 --> 00:21:15,608
patenting for all of her brands
to be sold in China,
534
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:17,910
the very day
that she was having dinner,
535
00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:19,912
wining and dining
with the Chinese president
536
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:21,347
at Mar-a-Lago.
537
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:22,882
NEWSWOMAN:
Ivanka, particularly is making
538
00:21:22,915 --> 00:21:26,552
millions and millions of
dollars while she's in office,
539
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:30,456
but Jared continues to oversee
his real estate entities.
540
00:21:30,489 --> 00:21:32,992
So they are profiting,
they're leveraging
541
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:36,228
the presidency so that they can
get richer and richer.
542
00:21:36,262 --> 00:21:37,696
LYDIC:
And to think people say
543
00:21:37,730 --> 00:21:40,432
they have nothing to show
for the last four years.
544
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:43,235
Jared and Ivanka did more
for Jared and Ivanka
545
00:21:43,269 --> 00:21:45,070
than any Jared and Ivanka
in history.
546
00:21:45,104 --> 00:21:47,873
And when the haters tried
to blame Ivanka
547
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:51,243
for whitewashing her dad's
more controversial policies,
548
00:21:51,277 --> 00:21:53,846
she had the perfect reply.
549
00:21:53,879 --> 00:21:56,215
-If being complicit...
-(typewriter bell dings)
550
00:21:56,248 --> 00:22:02,488
is... wanting to...
551
00:22:02,521 --> 00:22:05,457
is wanting to be a force
for good
552
00:22:05,491 --> 00:22:08,060
and to make a positive impact,
553
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:10,062
then I'm complicit.
554
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:11,897
LYDIC:
You see, to Ivanka,
555
00:22:11,931 --> 00:22:14,567
definitions of words
are like tax laws.
556
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,269
They're just suggestions.
557
00:22:17,303 --> 00:22:21,907
Where Jarvanka end up after the
White House is anyone's guess.
558
00:22:21,941 --> 00:22:25,144
Will they settle into
a beachside resort in Florida,
559
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:27,546
the family villa in New Jersey
or perhaps
560
00:22:27,580 --> 00:22:30,082
an island retreat
off the coast of Manhattan?
561
00:22:30,115 --> 00:22:33,886
Wherever they go, they will be
taking with them four years
562
00:22:33,919 --> 00:22:35,721
of being in the White House
563
00:22:35,754 --> 00:22:39,058
and saying things
and going places and...
564
00:22:39,091 --> 00:22:41,193
other governmenty things.
565
00:22:41,227 --> 00:22:45,664
Jared and Ivanka,
we thank you for your service.
566
00:22:45,698 --> 00:22:48,567
Whatever it was.
567
00:22:48,601 --> 00:22:50,503
Truly inspiring.
568
00:22:50,536 --> 00:22:52,671
All right, when we come back,
I'll be talking
569
00:22:52,705 --> 00:22:54,740
to Carey Mulligan
about her new movie,
570
00:22:54,773 --> 00:22:56,509
which has everyone talking.
571
00:22:56,542 --> 00:22:56,609
Stick around.
572
00:22:59,745 --> 00:23:01,780
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
573
00:23:01,814 --> 00:23:03,248
Earlier today, I spoke
574
00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:06,318
with Academy Award-nominated
actor Carey Mulligan.
575
00:23:06,351 --> 00:23:09,655
We talked about her new film
about female power and revenge,
576
00:23:09,688 --> 00:23:12,357
that she executive produces
and stars in.
577
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,759
Check it out.
578
00:23:13,792 --> 00:23:15,260
Why are you working here?
579
00:23:15,294 --> 00:23:16,495
Or...
580
00:23:16,528 --> 00:23:18,764
I didn't mean...
581
00:23:18,797 --> 00:23:20,399
That was rude. I didn't...
582
00:23:20,432 --> 00:23:23,335
You didn't mean,
what am I doing working
583
00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:25,104
in a shitty coffee shop?
584
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:28,307
Yeah. No, I just meant,
you know, given...
585
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:31,777
-There's no getting out
of this, is there? -Nuh-uh.
586
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:33,879
I'm gonna leave. Can I leave
and then come back?
587
00:23:33,912 --> 00:23:36,749
And I can do it... I can
do it again and be better.
588
00:23:36,782 --> 00:23:39,585
-Do you want milk?
-Pardon?
589
00:23:39,618 --> 00:23:41,687
In your coffee.
590
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,691
No, but, uh, you can spit
in it if you want.
591
00:23:45,724 --> 00:23:46,825
I-I deserve that.
592
00:23:50,462 --> 00:23:53,632
Carey Mulligan, welcome to The
Daily Social Distancing Show.
593
00:23:53,665 --> 00:23:56,101
(laughs)
Hi. How you doing?
594
00:23:56,135 --> 00:23:58,604
I'm doing as good
as can be expected
595
00:23:58,637 --> 00:24:00,305
considering everything
that's happening in the world.
596
00:24:00,339 --> 00:24:01,907
The question is,
how are you doing?
597
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:03,509
'Cause you're
in the U.K. right now,
598
00:24:03,542 --> 00:24:06,044
and you have the new variant
of corona out there
599
00:24:06,078 --> 00:24:07,913
that's just shutting
everything down.
600
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:10,349
So how are you doing,
and how is everybody around you?
601
00:24:10,382 --> 00:24:13,485
Yeah, it's, um, you know,
I think we all anticipated it...
602
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,155
something getting worse
for a little bit
603
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:17,990
before it got better,
but it's obviously,
604
00:24:18,023 --> 00:24:20,392
we're in lockdown,
so we're all home-schooling,
605
00:24:20,426 --> 00:24:22,561
and it feels like we, you know,
606
00:24:22,594 --> 00:24:24,596
the beginning
of March last year.
607
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:26,865
So, uh, but no,
we're very lucky.
608
00:24:26,899 --> 00:24:29,401
We live in the country,
so we've got space.
609
00:24:29,435 --> 00:24:31,537
I feel like,
in the hierarchy of things,
610
00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:34,072
people have said, you know,
essential workers,
611
00:24:34,106 --> 00:24:36,275
it's the people helping
to keep everybody alive.
612
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,210
It's the people
who are providing food
613
00:24:38,243 --> 00:24:39,912
and keeping grocery stores open,
614
00:24:39,945 --> 00:24:41,914
and just the teachers
who are still out there,
615
00:24:41,947 --> 00:24:44,783
trying to educate kids through
some of the toughest times
616
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:46,518
we've ever experienced.
617
00:24:46,552 --> 00:24:48,821
After all of that,
my top thing is
618
00:24:48,854 --> 00:24:52,624
anyone who comes out with a
good movie during the pandemic.
619
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:54,193
-Yeah.
-I'm so excited
620
00:24:54,226 --> 00:24:57,729
when a new movie comes out
that's actually amazing,
621
00:24:57,763 --> 00:25:01,834
and that is what you have given
us with Promising Young Woman.
622
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:04,536
I will say, though,
I was shocked
623
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:07,306
at how dark and yet funny it is.
624
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,741
And am I allowed
to even feel that?
625
00:25:09,775 --> 00:25:13,011
Oh, yeah. I mean, you know,
it was very much kind of written
626
00:25:13,045 --> 00:25:15,414
as a dark, very dark comedy.
627
00:25:15,447 --> 00:25:18,183
I mean, it's full of comedians,
the whole cast is...
628
00:25:18,217 --> 00:25:21,286
pretty much everyone,
apart from Connie Britton and I,
629
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,223
are kind of people who are
very comfortable in comedy.
630
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:26,692
So, uh,
it was definitely, yeah...
631
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:29,495
And that's also part
of what I think the shame is--
632
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:32,397
you know, and it's such
a small thing by comparison
633
00:25:32,431 --> 00:25:34,933
to world events-- but the loss
of having that experience,
634
00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:37,136
you know, for a lot of people
in the cinema,
635
00:25:37,169 --> 00:25:39,138
of being around other people,
it sort of,
636
00:25:39,171 --> 00:25:40,506
in these very dark comedies,
637
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:42,274
I think
it's an audience around you
638
00:25:42,307 --> 00:25:44,143
that gives you permission
to laugh
639
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:46,145
in moments where you're
not sure if you can laugh,
640
00:25:46,178 --> 00:25:48,213
and that's kind of part
of the tension and release
641
00:25:48,247 --> 00:25:50,616
-of a film like that.
-As a comdeian--
642
00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:53,452
I think most comedians will
agree with me in saying that--
643
00:25:53,485 --> 00:25:55,954
if you say
"comedy and sexual assualt,"
644
00:25:55,988 --> 00:25:58,123
everyone pauses--
we go like, "I-I don't know.
645
00:25:58,157 --> 00:26:00,259
"I'm gonna... I'll talk
about escalators first,
646
00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:02,494
and I'll try and get to that."
647
00:26:02,528 --> 00:26:05,564
What made you think that you
could be part of making a film
648
00:26:05,597 --> 00:26:09,468
that used comedy as a tool
to discuss one of the issues
649
00:26:09,501 --> 00:26:11,904
that has, I mean--
from the #MeToo movement,
650
00:26:11,937 --> 00:26:13,305
and even before that--
651
00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:14,973
been one of
the most important conversations
652
00:26:15,007 --> 00:26:16,542
to have in society?
653
00:26:16,575 --> 00:26:19,178
Well, it was really
the strength of the writing,
654
00:26:19,211 --> 00:26:22,748
and meeting Emerald Fennell,
who was our director.
655
00:26:22,781 --> 00:26:24,783
You know,
the hardest things in life,
656
00:26:24,817 --> 00:26:28,287
we often can only get through
by using humor.
657
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,689
You know, some moments of your
life that are completely tragic
658
00:26:30,722 --> 00:26:32,791
are marked by moments of,
you know,
659
00:26:32,825 --> 00:26:34,693
kind of comedy
and hysterical giggling.
660
00:26:34,726 --> 00:26:35,994
You know, the kind of...
661
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:37,963
part of me that wants to laugh
at a funeral,
662
00:26:37,996 --> 00:26:39,832
'cause you just don't know
how to cope with your...
663
00:26:39,865 --> 00:26:41,967
-Right, yeah.
-It feels very much like life,
664
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,269
and I think the main thing
with this story is
665
00:26:44,303 --> 00:26:48,307
that it's not a fantasy--
it's based on experiences
666
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:51,076
that so many of us know people
who have been through them,
667
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:53,112
and trying to be honest
about that,
668
00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:55,280
but also recognizing
that there are,
669
00:26:55,314 --> 00:26:57,216
that if you want to talk
about this kind of stuff,
670
00:26:57,249 --> 00:26:59,585
and you want people to think
about this kind of stuff,
671
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:01,754
you know,
there are ways of doing it
672
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:03,255
that entice an audience.
673
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:06,425
You know, this is a film
that I think you want to see,
674
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:08,961
as opposed to one
that feel like you should see.
675
00:27:08,994 --> 00:27:12,865
You play a character who, um,
whose friend is the victim
676
00:27:12,898 --> 00:27:15,734
of-- childhood friend, really--
is the victim of sexual assualt.
677
00:27:15,768 --> 00:27:18,971
And it...
it leads us into a story
678
00:27:19,004 --> 00:27:21,640
of revenge and justice, really.
679
00:27:21,673 --> 00:27:23,675
Do you think there's
a sense of catharsis
680
00:27:23,709 --> 00:27:25,878
that was intended
in writing the script?
681
00:27:25,911 --> 00:27:27,913
Is it... is it meant
in some ways to be
682
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:30,349
the movie for people who say,
like, "You know what?
683
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:33,018
"I've experienced this, I've got
a friend who's experienced this,
684
00:27:33,051 --> 00:27:35,687
"and this, this helps me feel
a different way about it,
685
00:27:35,721 --> 00:27:38,357
or see my feelings
from a different point of view"?
686
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:41,260
I mean, definitely,
from talking to people,
687
00:27:41,293 --> 00:27:44,596
um, they've, you know, there's
been a sense of catharsis.
688
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:47,866
I think, also, just,
like, you know, for me,
689
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,869
(laughs): smashing up a car,
which you see.
690
00:27:50,903 --> 00:27:53,338
Uh, it's pretty fun.
691
00:27:53,372 --> 00:27:55,541
And it, um, definitely helps.
692
00:27:55,574 --> 00:27:58,210
But I think, no, I mean...
693
00:27:58,243 --> 00:28:00,746
if that's people's experience,
I think that's, you know,
694
00:28:00,779 --> 00:28:03,115
that's great,
but I think the conversation
695
00:28:03,148 --> 00:28:05,417
I think that Emerald
was sort of hoping to create
696
00:28:05,451 --> 00:28:07,419
would be something
that went further
697
00:28:07,453 --> 00:28:09,455
into the cultural conversation.
698
00:28:09,488 --> 00:28:12,391
And, you know, these situations
that happen in our film
699
00:28:12,424 --> 00:28:15,127
have happened
in so many comedies,
700
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,764
bro comedies, you know,
films where a guy will try
701
00:28:18,797 --> 00:28:21,133
and lose his virginity
in a nightclub
702
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:22,634
-Right.
-at any expense,
703
00:28:22,668 --> 00:28:25,237
or, you know, try and identify
the most drunk girl, or...
704
00:28:25,270 --> 00:28:27,072
You know, so these are things
that we've watched
705
00:28:27,106 --> 00:28:29,708
and we've kind of laughed at,
and they've been so normalized
706
00:28:29,741 --> 00:28:31,043
in our culture for so long.
707
00:28:31,076 --> 00:28:33,112
Um, so it's not so much
as sort of--
708
00:28:33,145 --> 00:28:35,114
of course it touches
on that stuff--
709
00:28:35,147 --> 00:28:37,116
but it's
not so much pointing blame,
710
00:28:37,149 --> 00:28:39,718
or sort of assigning people
villainous roles--
711
00:28:39,752 --> 00:28:42,020
it's more: how have we all
been complicit in this?
712
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:44,123
It does give people
an opportunity
713
00:28:44,156 --> 00:28:46,258
to sort of experience this stuff
through a different lens,
714
00:28:46,291 --> 00:28:48,393
'cause we're so used to seeing
this kind of stuff
715
00:28:48,427 --> 00:28:51,063
told from the perspective
of the boy or the man,
716
00:28:51,096 --> 00:28:53,098
-or, you know, and...
-Right.
717
00:28:53,132 --> 00:28:55,400
get through, you know,
the perspective
718
00:28:55,434 --> 00:28:57,469
of the very drunk girl
in the corner,
719
00:28:57,503 --> 00:29:00,839
except in this situation
she's actually stone-cold sober.
720
00:29:00,873 --> 00:29:03,408
You know, we-we...
we've been taught to believe
721
00:29:03,442 --> 00:29:06,512
that somebody who has
classically unattractve features
722
00:29:06,545 --> 00:29:09,481
is going to be the bad guy, or
it's someone who looks menacing,
723
00:29:09,515 --> 00:29:12,651
acts menacing, and in this
movie, what was really fantastic
724
00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:17,656
is seeing "nice guys," "good
guys," being the "bad guys."
725
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:19,625
Seeing the "good guys" doing
the bad things.
726
00:29:19,658 --> 00:29:21,026
That was
a really interesting choice,
727
00:29:21,059 --> 00:29:22,995
not just in the characters
but in the casting as well.
728
00:29:23,028 --> 00:29:24,897
Because, I mean, you're seeing
Bo Burnham in this movie,
729
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:26,398
and you're like,
"I love Bo Burnham!"
730
00:29:26,432 --> 00:29:28,500
And then I watch the movie,
and I was like,
731
00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:30,135
"I don't know
if I like Bo Burnham."
732
00:29:30,169 --> 00:29:32,004
-(laughs) Yeah.
-That's a really...
733
00:29:32,037 --> 00:29:34,006
it's a really interesting way
to tell a story,
734
00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:36,074
and it seems like it's a...
it's a core tenet
735
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:37,743
of what the story is about.
736
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,745
Why do you think
that was so important?
737
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:41,814
Yeah, well,
it was all very intentional.
738
00:29:41,847 --> 00:29:43,682
I think, you know,
Emerald wanted people
739
00:29:43,715 --> 00:29:45,784
that we feel comfortable with
740
00:29:45,818 --> 00:29:47,653
and that we have a sort of sense
of nostalgia about,
741
00:29:47,686 --> 00:29:49,688
because, you know,
I think if you see somebody
742
00:29:49,721 --> 00:29:51,323
who looks sort of
inherently villainous,
743
00:29:51,356 --> 00:29:53,125
and you associate them
with playing the baddie
744
00:29:53,158 --> 00:29:55,194
in a bunch of films, like,
you immediately distrust him.
745
00:29:55,227 --> 00:29:57,763
I think the point about
this was that you would enter
746
00:29:57,796 --> 00:30:01,033
into one of these situations
and feel comfortable momentarily
747
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:03,869
with this person,
and you'd feel safe.
748
00:30:03,902 --> 00:30:06,305
And it goes to the casting
of Connie Britton as the dean.
749
00:30:06,338 --> 00:30:08,440
This is someone that
you know, Connie's like,
750
00:30:08,474 --> 00:30:11,343
everyone's favorite person
and you would go to her
751
00:30:11,376 --> 00:30:14,046
if you were in a crisis and...
so I think, you know,
752
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:15,981
subverting our expectations
around that stuff,
753
00:30:16,014 --> 00:30:17,483
was really important.
754
00:30:17,516 --> 00:30:19,551
And also the way that Emerald
directed was so brilliant,
755
00:30:19,585 --> 00:30:22,187
because she told each
of the men-- Adam Brody
756
00:30:22,221 --> 00:30:24,056
and Sam Richardson and...
757
00:30:24,089 --> 00:30:25,724
uh, at the beginning
of the scene, you know, this is,
758
00:30:25,758 --> 00:30:28,293
"this is a romantic comedy
and you're the lead.
759
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:30,629
"You know, you've just met
the love of your life.
760
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:32,264
-Wow.
-That's how you play the scene."
761
00:30:32,297 --> 00:30:34,633
So they were all entering into
it with this sort of amazing,
762
00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:38,170
earnest, committed, kind of,
I'm the hero here
763
00:30:38,203 --> 00:30:40,572
and I'm gonna save this girl,
you know?
764
00:30:40,606 --> 00:30:43,642
So the approach,
I think it highlights
765
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:46,879
what it feels like
when this is not happening
766
00:30:46,912 --> 00:30:48,781
to someone that you,
that you don't like
767
00:30:48,814 --> 00:30:51,183
or don't know,
this is what it feels like,
768
00:30:51,216 --> 00:30:53,352
you know, what if--
it's a very different situation
769
00:30:53,385 --> 00:30:55,487
if someone you know gets accused
of something like this.
770
00:30:55,521 --> 00:30:59,925
So casting these very, kind of
photogenic, sweet, lovely
771
00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:02,361
people that are genuinely
lovely in real life,
772
00:31:02,394 --> 00:31:04,530
I think puts
a different twist on that.
773
00:31:04,563 --> 00:31:07,065
I will say it's, uh, it is dark,
774
00:31:07,099 --> 00:31:09,835
it is thrilling
and it is funny in moments
775
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:12,037
where you-you genuinely
do not expect it to be.
776
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:13,872
Uh, but most importantly,
it's, uh,
777
00:31:13,906 --> 00:31:15,374
easily the best film
of the year.
778
00:31:15,407 --> 00:31:17,709
I know the year just began,
but it's, uh, still gonna be
779
00:31:17,743 --> 00:31:19,445
one of the best films
of the year-- thank you so much
780
00:31:19,478 --> 00:31:22,214
for joining us on the show and,
uh, congratulations once again.
781
00:31:22,247 --> 00:31:24,650
Thank you so much.
Thanks for having me.
782
00:31:24,683 --> 00:31:27,186
Don't forget, Promising Young
Woman is in theaters
783
00:31:27,219 --> 00:31:29,154
and available On Demand.
784
00:31:29,188 --> 00:31:30,589
We're gonna take
a quick break right now.
785
00:31:30,622 --> 00:31:30,689
But we'll be right back
after this.
786
00:31:33,891 --> 00:31:35,693
Well, that's our show
for tonight, but before we go,
787
00:31:35,726 --> 00:31:39,797
COVID-19 has killed more than
two million people worldwide
788
00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:43,267
and today, the United States
passed 400,000 deaths
789
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:44,969
from this virus.
790
00:31:45,002 --> 00:31:47,671
The pandemic is as bad
as it has ever been.
791
00:31:47,705 --> 00:31:50,274
But luckily our first responders
are still out there
792
00:31:50,307 --> 00:31:52,476
on the frontlines saving lives.
793
00:31:52,509 --> 00:31:56,280
Now if you can help them out,
then please consider a donation
794
00:31:56,313 --> 00:31:59,416

795
00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:02,553

797
00:32:05,356 --> 00:32:07,925
Until tomorrow,
stay safe out there,
798
00:32:07,958 --> 00:32:09,793
wear a mask and remember,
799
00:32:09,827 --> 00:32:12,763
blue lives
more than black lives matter,
800
00:32:12,796 --> 00:32:14,331
but when white lives come along,
801
00:32:14,365 --> 00:32:16,533
well, then those blue lives
don't mean shit.
802
00:32:16,567 --> 00:32:19,136
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
803
00:32:21,005 --> 00:32:23,474
So I can just say bye-bye,
I'm going to Florida.
804
00:32:23,507 --> 00:32:24,909
Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
805
00:32:24,942 --> 00:32:26,277
Bye-bye, enjoy yourself.
806
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:28,812
Bye-bye! Bye-Bye! Bye-bye,
folks. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
807
00:32:28,846 --> 00:32:30,781
Mommy, Mommy, take me home,
I'm out of here.
808
00:32:30,814 --> 00:32:32,483
Get me the hell
out of here, Mom...
809
00:32:32,516 --> 00:32:34,652
Forget about
the American people!
810
00:32:34,685 --> 00:32:34,752
Mommy, I want out of here
right now.
