1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:02,669
Hey, what's going on, everybody.
I'm Trevor Noah
2
00:00:02,703 --> 00:00:04,905
and this is The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
3
00:00:04,938 --> 00:00:06,607
Today is February 9,
4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,142
which means you only have
five days left
5
00:00:09,176 --> 00:00:11,078
to prepare
for Valentine's Day.
6
00:00:11,111 --> 00:00:13,814
And let's be honest-- after
the year we've all been through,
7
00:00:13,847 --> 00:00:17,918
remember to focus on what's
really important this year.
8
00:00:17,951 --> 00:00:19,653
You know, don't worry about
spending a lot of money
9
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:21,488
on champagne or jewelry.
10
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:23,390
All you need to give your loved
one
11
00:00:23,423 --> 00:00:28,128
is two stolen vials
of the Pfizer vaccine.
12
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:29,630
Anyway, on tonight's show,
13
00:00:29,663 --> 00:00:32,366
why India
is beefing with Rihanna,
14
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,902
Dulcé Sloan
weighs in on Gorilla Glue,
15
00:00:34,935 --> 00:00:37,404
and Donald Trump
is on trial for murder...
16
00:00:37,437 --> 00:00:39,339
ing the Constitution.
17
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:40,741
So let's do this, people.
18
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:43,544
Welcome to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
19
00:00:43,577 --> 00:00:47,347
-? ? -ANNOUNCER: From
Trevor's couch in New York City
20
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:50,551
to your couch
somewhere in the world, this is
21
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:53,453
The Daily Social Distancing Show
with Trevor Noah.
22
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:59,660
Let's kick things off with
today's big story:
23
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:02,029
Donald J. Trump--
24
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:03,564
unemployed Twitter bot
25
00:01:03,597 --> 00:01:06,133
and former president
of the United States.
26
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:09,603
Today, Trump became
the only president ever
27
00:01:09,636 --> 00:01:12,606
to face a second
impeachment trial,
28
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:14,641
which is pretty impressive
when you consider
29
00:01:14,675 --> 00:01:17,511
he only showed up to work
about half the time.
30
00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:19,546
I mean, if Trump really applied
himself as president,
31
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:23,250
we could be on impeachment
number, like, 35 by now.
32
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:25,752
And the trial kicked off today
with Democrats presenting
33
00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:29,690
a video which showed
Trump's speech on January 6,
34
00:01:29,723 --> 00:01:33,060
interspersed with scenes
of violence from his supporters.
35
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,395
We're gonna walk down--
and I'll be there with you--
36
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:38,298
-we're gonna walk down...
-(crowd cheering)
37
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:41,502
We're gonna walk down
to the Capitol.
38
00:01:41,535 --> 00:01:42,870
-Yeah!
-Yeah!
39
00:01:42,903 --> 00:01:44,638
-Let's take the Capitol!
-Take the Capitol!
40
00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:47,407
-Let's take it!
-Let's take the Capitol!
41
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:51,612
We are going to the Capitol,
where are problems are!
42
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:54,181
-USA! USA!
-(whooping)
43
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:56,216
-(shouting)
-(bleep)
44
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:05,592
-That's enough!
-Let us in!
45
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:08,629
Wow. What a powerful video
46
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:10,297
that Republican senators
didn't see
47
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:12,199
because they pretended
to go to the bathroom.
48
00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:16,036
But you can definitely tell
this impeachment is the sequel,
49
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:18,705
because the sequel always has to
turn things up to 11.
50
00:02:18,739 --> 00:02:20,107
The original impeachment
was like:
51
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,743
Listen to this diplomat
describe a phone call
52
00:02:22,776 --> 00:02:24,444
as you ponder the meaning
53
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:27,314
of quid pro quo.
54
00:02:27,347 --> 00:02:28,649
But this impeachment is like:
55
00:02:28,682 --> 00:02:31,251
Michael Bay presents--
bum-bum-bum!--
56
00:02:31,285 --> 00:02:33,987
Impeachment 2.
We're storming the Capitol!
57
00:02:34,021 --> 00:02:36,990
Aah!
(imitates gunfire, explosion)
58
00:02:37,024 --> 00:02:40,761
But after the video it was
the Trump defense team's turn
59
00:02:40,794 --> 00:02:43,030
to make their
best possible case.
60
00:02:43,063 --> 00:02:44,665
Although, based on
how it went today,
61
00:02:44,698 --> 00:02:47,501
I'm worried that Trump
is gonna get the chair.
62
00:02:47,534 --> 00:02:49,736
My name is Bruce Castor.
63
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:53,907
I am the lead prosecutor...
lead, uh, counsel
64
00:02:53,941 --> 00:02:56,677
for the 45th president
of the United States.
65
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:59,012
I was assistant D.A.
for such long time,
66
00:02:59,046 --> 00:03:00,447
I keep saying prosecutor,
67
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,717
but I do understand
the difference, Mr. Raskin.
68
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:06,119
I don't want to steal the
thunder from the other lawyers,
69
00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:08,956
but Nebraska,
you're going to hear,
70
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:10,524
is quite a
71
00:03:10,557 --> 00:03:13,460
judicial... thinking place.
72
00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:16,363
My parents had on a record.
73
00:03:16,396 --> 00:03:17,764
And...
74
00:03:17,798 --> 00:03:20,567
We still know
what records are, right?
75
00:03:20,601 --> 00:03:23,570
On the thing you put the needle
down on and you play it.
76
00:03:23,604 --> 00:03:25,339
And, uh...
77
00:03:25,372 --> 00:03:29,243
I... The other day when I was
down here in Washington...
78
00:03:29,276 --> 00:03:30,878
I came down earlier in the week
79
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:34,915
to try to f-figure out
how to find my way around.
80
00:03:34,948 --> 00:03:37,150
I worked in this building
40 years ago.
81
00:03:37,184 --> 00:03:39,686
I got lost then, and I still do.
82
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,290
The founders recognized that...
83
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:48,161
...the ar... the argument
that I started with, that...
84
00:03:48,195 --> 00:03:50,430
m...
85
00:03:50,464 --> 00:03:53,534
He talks about gallant men,
86
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:56,937
was his name of the...
of the, uh...
87
00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:59,306
of the album.
88
00:03:59,339 --> 00:04:02,409
Good lord. Trump's lawyer
is giving the speech you give
89
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:04,678
when you have to stall
because the actual lawyer
90
00:04:04,711 --> 00:04:05,946
is stuck in traffic.
91
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:07,848
Trump is probably
watching this at home like,
92
00:04:07,881 --> 00:04:09,483
what the hell
is wrong with this guy?
93
00:04:09,516 --> 00:04:12,686
The ad on the side of the bus
said that he was the best.
94
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,022
Why would he be on a bus
if he's not the best?
95
00:04:15,055 --> 00:04:18,458
Although I will say this: the
fact that Trump now has a lawyer
96
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:20,961
who's not leaking printer toner
out of his head--
97
00:04:20,994 --> 00:04:22,429
that's a step
in the right direction.
98
00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:24,831
And here's the crazy thing:
it doesn't actually matter
99
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:26,967
what this guy says.
100
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,904
He could get up there
and trim his pubes for hours,
101
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:34,508
because the jury
has already reached its verdict.
102
00:04:34,541 --> 00:04:36,543
In just the last hour,
the Senate voted
103
00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:38,712
that the impeachment trial
of former president Donald Trump
104
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:41,114
can move forward.
Six Republicans
105
00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:43,617
joined with Democrats
in a 56-44 vote,
106
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:46,753
saying the impeachment
trial is constitutional.
107
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:50,123
The question, though, is,
would there, in any scenario,
108
00:04:50,157 --> 00:04:52,125
be enough Republicans to cross
the aisle
109
00:04:52,159 --> 00:04:55,729
to vote to convict the
former president, Donald Trump,
110
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:57,297
and given that just six crossed
the aisle
111
00:04:57,331 --> 00:04:59,666
here on this vote
today--
112
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:01,368
uh, and they'll need
17 to do that
113
00:05:01,401 --> 00:05:03,637
in order to convict him--
uh, it doesn't look like
114
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:06,640
the impeachment managers
are gonna be able to get there.
115
00:05:06,673 --> 00:05:09,376
That's right, people.
Before this trial even started,
116
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:12,145
almost every Republican juror
has made it clear
117
00:05:12,179 --> 00:05:14,915
that they don't
want a trial at all.
118
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:16,316
And I get it.
I get why Republicans
119
00:05:16,350 --> 00:05:18,552
voted this way.
Because, on the one hand,
120
00:05:18,585 --> 00:05:21,855
yes, an angry mob
stormed the Capitol building
121
00:05:21,889 --> 00:05:24,892
where they work
and could have killed them, yes.
122
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:26,393
But on the other hand,
123
00:05:26,426 --> 00:05:28,595
everyone hates jury duty.
124
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:31,064
Although, honestly, I don't
know why some of these senators
125
00:05:31,098 --> 00:05:33,200
are even allowed
to be on the jury.
126
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,736
It was my understanding that
saying crazy shit like
127
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:37,104
"I want to overthrow
the government"
128
00:05:37,137 --> 00:05:39,206
was how you
get out of jury duty.
129
00:05:39,239 --> 00:05:42,276
And I know this vote might make
the trial seem pointless now.
130
00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:45,445
Yes. But just because we know
how the trial will end
131
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:47,614
doesn't mean the trial
shouldn't take place.
132
00:05:47,648 --> 00:05:49,950
I mean, when you're watching
Law & Order , right,
133
00:05:49,983 --> 00:05:51,385
do you turn it off
in the first five minutes,
134
00:05:51,418 --> 00:05:53,220
when the cops interview
a dentist who obviously
135
00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:54,721
killed his patient
to cover up an affair?
136
00:05:54,755 --> 00:05:57,357
Of course not.
You watch the whole thing,
137
00:05:57,391 --> 00:05:59,259
because then you get to say
"I knew it"
138
00:05:59,293 --> 00:06:00,827
when you end up being right.
139
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,996
Now, we're gonna keep you
up to date on the impeachment
140
00:06:03,030 --> 00:06:05,599
right up until the moment
that Trump is acquitted.
141
00:06:05,632 --> 00:06:09,203
But, for now, let's move on from
President Trump
142
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:12,706
to someone else dealing with
a never-ending bad hair day.
143
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,541
Gorilla Glue is now responding
144
00:06:14,575 --> 00:06:17,711
after a woman used
their product in her hair.
145
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:20,781
Tessica Brown posted on
Instagram earlier this month
146
00:06:20,814 --> 00:06:24,751
that her hair had been stuck in
the same style for over a month
147
00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:27,654
after she used
Gorilla Glue spray
148
00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:29,423
to keep her hair in place.
149
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:31,625
Brown said she used
the Gorilla Glue
150
00:06:31,658 --> 00:06:34,228
after she ran out
of her usual spray.
151
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:35,996
Brown had to actually
go to the hospital
152
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:38,432
for medical help
in removing the glue.
153
00:06:38,465 --> 00:06:40,968
She's taken to social media
with her plans of hiring
154
00:06:41,001 --> 00:06:43,804
an attorney to pursue charges
against Gorilla Glue.
155
00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:46,173
NEWSWOMAN: She claims while the
product's label warns against
156
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:48,842
using on eyes, skin,
or clothing,
157
00:06:48,876 --> 00:06:50,544
it does not mention hair.
158
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:54,114
Aw, man. You got to feel bad
for this woman.
159
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:55,449
'Cause as crazy as this is,
160
00:06:55,482 --> 00:06:57,451
I kind of know
how she feels, right?
161
00:06:57,484 --> 00:07:00,187
One time, I accidentally ordered
Papa John's Pizza
162
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:03,557
thinking it was food.
No one warned me.
163
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,159
Now, obviously, I have my own
thoughts on this story,
164
00:07:06,193 --> 00:07:09,429
but to get a more relevant
perspective, I'm gonna bring in
165
00:07:09,463 --> 00:07:13,100
our very own resident
hair expert, Dulcé Sloan.
166
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:15,369
Dulcé.
What's going on?
167
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:16,970
I thought I would, uh,
give you a call.
168
00:07:17,004 --> 00:07:20,107
Well, well, well.
169
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:22,709
(harrumphs)
Uh-huh.
170
00:07:22,743 --> 00:07:23,911
You would be calling me
171
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,146
when there's a Black woman
in the news.
172
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:28,182
No, no, no, Dulcé,
come on, it's not like that.
173
00:07:28,215 --> 00:07:31,485
Oh, so you want
to talk about Elon Musk,
174
00:07:31,518 --> 00:07:35,289
and, you know, you want to talk
about Tesla buying up bitcoin?
175
00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:38,592
Uh... yeah, yeah.
But-but, for now,
176
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:41,628
I wanted to talk about
the Gorilla Glue girl.
177
00:07:41,662 --> 00:07:44,097
Mm-hmm.
That's what I thought.
178
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:46,266
Look, Trevor, just because
a Black woman does something
179
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,002
doesn't mean
you have to talk to me, okay?
180
00:07:49,036 --> 00:07:52,272
You could have talked to Ronny,
you could have talked to Kosta.
181
00:07:52,306 --> 00:07:54,208
I mean, he thinks
Black lives matter.
182
00:07:54,241 --> 00:07:57,110
You know, I don't want to talk
about this as a "Black woman."
183
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:59,413
You know what, Dulce,
I-I didn't... I didn't m...
184
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:01,682
I didn't even think ab...
I apologize. Um...
185
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:03,283
We-we can just...
we can just end this thing.
186
00:08:03,317 --> 00:08:04,651
(stammers, exclaims)
187
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:07,421
But I do want to
talk about this as a crafter.
188
00:08:07,454 --> 00:08:08,622
Because I'm a crafter, Trevor.
189
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,691
You know, I'm sitting here
190
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:13,393
making Valentine's Day cards
for my friends.
191
00:08:13,427 --> 00:08:15,395
And I got all
the adhesives here, okay?
192
00:08:15,429 --> 00:08:18,866
I got double-sided tape.
I got a hot glue gun.
193
00:08:18,899 --> 00:08:20,100
I got titty tape.
194
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:23,270
We holding stuff down
over here, Trevor.
195
00:08:23,303 --> 00:08:24,771
O-Okay, so then
196
00:08:24,805 --> 00:08:27,708
what do you make of this story,
as a crafter?
197
00:08:27,741 --> 00:08:29,409
I mean, as a crafter,
this story
198
00:08:29,443 --> 00:08:31,378
makes me want to buy
Gorilla Glue.
199
00:08:31,411 --> 00:08:34,248
I mean, if that glue can lock
her hair in place for a month,
200
00:08:34,281 --> 00:08:36,517
maybe it could've kept me
and my ex together.
201
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:37,518
Literally.
202
00:08:37,551 --> 00:08:38,719
Joined at the hip.
203
00:08:38,752 --> 00:08:40,487
I mean,
it would've made sex difficult,
204
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:41,622
but, you know,
we'll work it out.
205
00:08:41,655 --> 00:08:42,756
Where is he going?
206
00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:44,258
Y-You know, it's actually funny
you say that,
207
00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:47,060
because Gorilla Glue actually
had to issue a statement
208
00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:48,395
defending themselves.
209
00:08:48,428 --> 00:08:51,198
They basically said
that you can't blame them
210
00:08:51,231 --> 00:08:53,967
because the bottle says
you can't put it on skin.
211
00:08:54,001 --> 00:08:55,469
Yeah, but, in her defense,
212
00:08:55,502 --> 00:08:57,804
they didn't say
you can't put it on scalp.
213
00:08:57,838 --> 00:09:01,341
And, also, the bottle says
all the stuff you can put it on:
214
00:09:01,375 --> 00:09:04,011
fabric, wood, plastic.
215
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:05,746
She must've read all of that
and been like,
216
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:07,481
"Well, if this can put wood
down,
217
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:09,917
my edges are gonna be
immaculate."
218
00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:12,419
So you sympathize
with Tessica Brown.
219
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:14,288
Of course I do, Trevor.
220
00:09:14,321 --> 00:09:17,257
No one wants to see someone
go through some shit like this.
221
00:09:17,291 --> 00:09:19,793
Black women,
we want our edges to be laid
222
00:09:19,826 --> 00:09:21,295
but not forever.
223
00:09:21,328 --> 00:09:22,963
And you should see the comments.
224
00:09:22,996 --> 00:09:25,199
A lot of people
are trying to help her out.
225
00:09:25,232 --> 00:09:28,435
We're like, "Tessica,
try coconut oil.
226
00:09:28,468 --> 00:09:29,670
"Try acetone.
227
00:09:29,703 --> 00:09:30,804
Try Jesus."
228
00:09:30,838 --> 00:09:33,207
Yeah, Dulcé. And you know
someone is in trouble
229
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,475
when even the online commenters
are like,
230
00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:37,778
"No, we need to help
this person."
231
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:39,313
That's how serious this got.
232
00:09:39,346 --> 00:09:40,647
The only question is, like,
233
00:09:40,681 --> 00:09:42,516
how do you think
this whole thing is gonna end?
234
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:44,518
I think this is gonna work out
for her.
235
00:09:44,551 --> 00:09:47,120
I mean, at some point,
her hair's gonna get fixed.
236
00:09:47,154 --> 00:09:48,789
And, in the meantime,
she's lucky
237
00:09:48,822 --> 00:09:51,592
she was going for a ponytail
when this all happened.
238
00:09:51,625 --> 00:09:53,594
I mean, imagine if she
was trying to do some new shit
239
00:09:53,627 --> 00:09:55,596
and ended up with a mohawk
this whole time.
240
00:09:55,629 --> 00:09:57,331
Oh. Like my Uncle Josh.
241
00:09:57,364 --> 00:09:58,966
He got an awful haircut
this one time.
242
00:09:58,999 --> 00:10:00,334
Let me show you.
243
00:10:04,738 --> 00:10:06,507
You-- You know what, Trevor?
244
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:09,176
I got to go. I got--
I'm-I'm-- I got to go.
245
00:10:09,209 --> 00:10:10,844
-I got to-- I got to...
-Is-is everything--
246
00:10:10,878 --> 00:10:12,279
is everything okay, Dulcé?
247
00:10:12,312 --> 00:10:14,381
Yeah! Yeah, I'm good.
248
00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:15,749
You know, it's my prayer time.
249
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:17,618
Uh, I'm gonna...
(clicks tongue) just--
250
00:10:17,651 --> 00:10:19,286
-I'm gonna... -Are you--
are you stuck to your--
251
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:21,488
Did you put your glue gun
on your chair?
252
00:10:21,522 --> 00:10:23,857
(stammers)
No, man!
253
00:10:23,891 --> 00:10:25,492
I'm trying to give you
a nice little exit.
254
00:10:25,526 --> 00:10:27,461
I'm trying to give you a l--
show a little razzle-dazzle.
255
00:10:27,494 --> 00:10:28,829
You know, kind of like a...
256
00:10:28,862 --> 00:10:31,164
sweep-out, you see? That's
not about-- You worry about...
257
00:10:31,198 --> 00:10:33,367
Dulcé, if you glued--
if you're glued to your chair,
258
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,369
you should call--
you should call someone, Dulcé.
259
00:10:35,402 --> 00:10:36,737
I-I got this. It's fine.
260
00:10:36,770 --> 00:10:38,906
I got some acetone somewhere.
Don't worry about me.
261
00:10:38,939 --> 00:10:41,441
All right, well-well, you let me
know if you need help, Dulcé.
262
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:43,410
Dulcé Sloan, everybody.
263
00:10:43,443 --> 00:10:46,146
All right, let's move on now
to our main story,
264
00:10:46,180 --> 00:10:48,415
and it comes out of India,
265
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:51,084
the country that
Christopher Columbus' dumb ass
266
00:10:51,118 --> 00:10:52,152
couldn't find.
267
00:10:52,186 --> 00:10:53,654
And we're talking about India,
because,
268
00:10:53,687 --> 00:10:55,355
in a year of global protests,
269
00:10:55,389 --> 00:10:58,392
they're in the midst
of the biggest one anywhere.
270
00:10:58,425 --> 00:11:01,762
Thousands of farmers blocked
highways across India today
271
00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:04,798
in protest of the country's
new agricultural laws.
272
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:06,733
The blockades are only
the latest development
273
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:08,569
in the face-off
between agricultural workers
274
00:11:08,602 --> 00:11:09,670
and the government.
275
00:11:09,703 --> 00:11:11,805
NEWSWOMAN: This is one
of the busiest highways
276
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:13,140
leading to Delhi.
277
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:15,142
It's been blocked for weeks.
278
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:16,877
Tens of thousands of farmers
279
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:18,645
from the northern states
of India
280
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,480
have marched
to the capital city.
281
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:31,291
NEWSMAN: Their struggle
isn't going unnoticed.
282
00:11:31,325 --> 00:11:35,229
R&B megastar Rihanna asked her
100 million Twitter followers,
283
00:11:35,262 --> 00:11:37,197
"Why aren't we talking
about this?"
284
00:11:37,231 --> 00:11:40,934
Climate activist Greta Thunberg
tweeted a message of solidarity.
285
00:11:40,968 --> 00:11:42,603
NEWSMAN 2:
Sparking a furious response
286
00:11:42,636 --> 00:11:44,171
from the Indian government,
287
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:46,807
it's also drawn the ire
of New Delhi police,
288
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,575
who in only the last few hours
289
00:11:48,609 --> 00:11:50,577
have now filed a police case
290
00:11:50,611 --> 00:11:52,579
citing Thunberg's tweet.
291
00:11:52,613 --> 00:11:54,848
NEWSMAN 3: Rihanna
and Greta Thunberg effigies
292
00:11:54,882 --> 00:11:57,584
were burnt recently
by pro-government crowds
293
00:11:57,618 --> 00:12:01,054
after they tweeted
in favor of the farmers.
294
00:12:01,088 --> 00:12:02,456
Damn.
295
00:12:02,489 --> 00:12:05,459
When a country that hot
starts burning shit,
296
00:12:05,492 --> 00:12:07,661
you know
they aren't messing around.
297
00:12:07,694 --> 00:12:12,199
I mean, they're burning
Greta Thunberg in effigy,
298
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:13,734
which is really gonna piss
her off.
299
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:15,435
I mean, think
of all the carbon emissions.
300
00:12:15,469 --> 00:12:18,906
By the way, there was definitely
at least one guy in that crowd
301
00:12:18,939 --> 00:12:21,542
who already had
a life-size Rihanna pillow.
302
00:12:21,575 --> 00:12:23,410
He was at the protest like...
(chuckles)
303
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:25,879
"No, guys, it's an effigy.
Let's burn it.
304
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:27,781
I definitely didn't marry
this pillow."
305
00:12:27,814 --> 00:12:29,082
(chuckles)
306
00:12:29,116 --> 00:12:32,886
So, why exactly
are India's farmers protesting?
307
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,589
Well, let's step back
and find out
308
00:12:35,622 --> 00:12:39,459
in another installment of
If You Don't Know, Now You Know.
309
00:12:39,493 --> 00:12:41,495
? ?
310
00:12:47,801 --> 00:12:50,637
When you think about farming,
what do you think about?
311
00:12:50,671 --> 00:12:53,040
You probably think about how
it works in the United States:
312
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:56,243
giant agribusiness companies
running giant farms
313
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:58,912
where they raise cows
that are so jacked on steroids
314
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,480
they look like,
when you milk them,
315
00:13:00,514 --> 00:13:02,683
protein shakes come out
of their teats.
316
00:13:02,716 --> 00:13:06,553
But most Indian farmers work
on a much smaller scale,
317
00:13:06,587 --> 00:13:08,889
and it's when the government
tried to change that up
318
00:13:08,922 --> 00:13:10,791
that the manure hit the fan.
319
00:13:10,824 --> 00:13:12,125
NEWSWOMAN:
This is all happening
320
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:14,027
because Prime Minister Modi's
government
321
00:13:14,061 --> 00:13:16,697
has passed new farming laws
that will change
322
00:13:16,730 --> 00:13:20,167
how the agricultural industry
has worked for decades.
323
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,337
NEWSMAN: India's agriculture
sector makes up nearly 15%
324
00:13:23,370 --> 00:13:26,673
of the country's
$2.9 trillion economy
325
00:13:26,707 --> 00:13:30,210
and employs around half
of its 1.3 billion people.
326
00:13:30,244 --> 00:13:32,479
NEWSMAN 2: The vast majority
of India's farmers
327
00:13:32,513 --> 00:13:34,414
own fewer than three acres.
328
00:13:34,448 --> 00:13:36,416
For decades,
they've sold their produce
329
00:13:36,450 --> 00:13:37,751
in their home states,
330
00:13:37,784 --> 00:13:40,721
in government-sanctioned markets
called mandis,
331
00:13:40,754 --> 00:13:43,323
a system that guaranteed
minimum prices
332
00:13:43,357 --> 00:13:45,192
on several key commodities.
333
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:08,949
NEWSMAN 3: The measures,
they say, will only benefit
334
00:14:08,982 --> 00:14:12,386
big corporations
and push them into poverty.
335
00:14:12,419 --> 00:14:13,921
(translated):
These laws will have an effect
336
00:14:13,954 --> 00:14:15,589
on anyone who eats.
337
00:14:15,622 --> 00:14:17,958
They will buy from us
at very low prices,
338
00:14:17,991 --> 00:14:19,893
and we lose our livelihoods.
339
00:14:19,927 --> 00:14:23,330
Man, that sounds
like a really rough situation
340
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:24,898
for those farmers.
341
00:14:24,932 --> 00:14:26,934
And if this last year
has taught us anything,
342
00:14:26,967 --> 00:14:30,103
it's that we cannot take farmers
for granted.
343
00:14:30,137 --> 00:14:31,338
Nowhere in the world.
344
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:32,339
We need farmers.
345
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:33,607
I mean, we all saw what happened
346
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,542
when we tried to grow
our own vegetables
347
00:14:35,576 --> 00:14:37,277
on our kitchen windowsills.
348
00:14:37,311 --> 00:14:39,213
After nine months,
what did we grow?
349
00:14:39,246 --> 00:14:42,349
Nothing, other than resentment
and hatred for our roommates.
350
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:45,152
And this law is gonna have
widespread repercussions,
351
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:50,157
because farming employs
600 million people in India.
352
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:52,426
That's almost twice
the entire population
353
00:14:52,459 --> 00:14:53,760
of the United States,
354
00:14:53,794 --> 00:14:55,662
which,
apart from everything else,
355
00:14:55,696 --> 00:14:58,298
is just another reminder
that the Twitter trends
356
00:14:58,332 --> 00:14:59,967
are pretty bullshit.
357
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,535
I mean, you'd think
the entire world
358
00:15:01,568 --> 00:15:03,504
is talking about the Joker
in the Snyder cut,
359
00:15:03,537 --> 00:15:06,139
when, in reality,
if everyone was on Twitter,
360
00:15:06,173 --> 00:15:09,710
the top trending topics
every day would just be "wheat."
361
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,578
So, with their livelihoods
at stake,
362
00:15:11,612 --> 00:15:14,414
India's farmers decided
to make their opposition known
363
00:15:14,448 --> 00:15:16,583
by blocking the roads
into the capital
364
00:15:16,617 --> 00:15:18,819
as a form of civil disobedience.
365
00:15:18,852 --> 00:15:20,888
You know? It's like
that Mahatma Gandhi quote
366
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:22,289
I saw on the Internet:
367
00:15:22,322 --> 00:15:25,526
"Sitting in traffic
sucks major ass."
368
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,227
And that's how things stayed
for a while,
369
00:15:27,261 --> 00:15:30,931
until a couple weeks ago,
when they escalated it big-time.
370
00:15:30,964 --> 00:15:32,599
NEWSMAN:
The largely peaceful campaign
371
00:15:32,633 --> 00:15:34,434
briefly turned violent last week
372
00:15:34,468 --> 00:15:36,970
when protestors drove
a procession of tractors
373
00:15:37,004 --> 00:15:39,339
into the heart of the capital,
New Delhi.
374
00:15:39,373 --> 00:15:41,241
Some farmers confronted police,
375
00:15:41,275 --> 00:15:43,510
who fired back with tear gas.
376
00:15:49,883 --> 00:15:51,685
NEWSMAN 2:
Now the government's responding
377
00:15:51,718 --> 00:15:53,654
by using
massive concrete barriers
378
00:15:53,687 --> 00:15:55,722
to box in
the three main sit-in sites
379
00:15:55,756 --> 00:15:57,624
along New Delhi's highways.
380
00:15:57,658 --> 00:16:01,228
It's also cut off electricity,
water, and the Internet.
381
00:16:01,261 --> 00:16:04,431
NEWSWOMAN: Delhi police
have deployed 50,000 police
382
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:07,901
and paramilitary personnel
in and around the capital.
383
00:16:07,935 --> 00:16:10,804
There are extra drones
flying over protest sites.
384
00:16:10,838 --> 00:16:14,107
They have erected thousands of
iron nails on some of the roads
385
00:16:14,141 --> 00:16:15,609
leading up to some of the sites.
386
00:16:15,642 --> 00:16:17,244
NEWSMAN 3: India's
prime minister, Narendra Modi,
387
00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:19,046
has broke his silence,
describing violence
388
00:16:19,079 --> 00:16:21,381
in the capital, New Delhi,
last Tuesday
389
00:16:21,415 --> 00:16:23,116
as an insult to the country.
390
00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:25,853
Modi says he'll not change
his mind on the new laws
391
00:16:25,886 --> 00:16:29,223
but has repeated an offer
to delay them for 18 months.
392
00:16:29,256 --> 00:16:32,359
Hot damn!
That tractor was moving.
393
00:16:32,392 --> 00:16:34,494
It's like someone made
a Grand Theft Auto mission
394
00:16:34,528 --> 00:16:36,563
in Animal Crossing.
395
00:16:36,597 --> 00:16:38,398
But, look, clearly,
the government has decided
396
00:16:38,432 --> 00:16:40,334
that they've had enough
of this protest,
397
00:16:40,367 --> 00:16:42,569
because this is
a major crackdown.
398
00:16:42,603 --> 00:16:44,505
And maybe they think
postponing the law
399
00:16:44,538 --> 00:16:47,140
will satisfy the farmer.
But think about it:
400
00:16:47,174 --> 00:16:50,077
in 18 months, people will be
in the same position
401
00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:51,078
that they are in now
402
00:16:51,111 --> 00:16:53,847
and the protests
will happen all over again.
403
00:16:53,881 --> 00:16:55,949
I mean, you're basically
just giving people 18 months
404
00:16:55,983 --> 00:16:58,785
to get angrier and soup up
their tractors even more.
405
00:16:58,819 --> 00:17:00,687
But, you see,
this crackdown shows you
406
00:17:00,721 --> 00:17:03,924
how worried the government
must be about this protest.
407
00:17:03,957 --> 00:17:06,827
And honestly, they probably
should be, because it's clear
408
00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:10,097
that these farmers are
digging in for the long haul.
409

and will continue
their protests until
412
00:17:15,836 --> 00:17:17,704
the agriculture laws
are repealed.

00:17:21,742 --> 00:17:23,777
Water tankers are brought in

for bathing, cooking
and cleaning.
417
00:17:26,780 --> 00:17:29,416
Medical booths have been
set up to tend to the sick.
418
00:17:29,449 --> 00:17:32,052
Dozens of people,
young and old, are busy cooking
419
00:17:32,085 --> 00:17:35,155
in community kitchens
and serving meals.

we're here to stay.
425
00:17:49,203 --> 00:17:53,073
Now, you see, there-- that's
some determination right there.
426
00:17:53,106 --> 00:17:56,076
That dude is ready
to protest for four years,
427
00:17:56,109 --> 00:17:57,544
which doesn't surprise me,
428
00:17:57,578 --> 00:18:01,849
because nobody on earth
is more patient than a farmer.
429
00:18:01,882 --> 00:18:04,551
Farmers are the same people
who will wait five months
430
00:18:04,585 --> 00:18:08,455
to grow an eggplant.
An eggplant!
431
00:18:08,488 --> 00:18:10,824
I'm not patient enough
to find it in the emojis.
432
00:18:10,858 --> 00:18:12,926
Sometimes, I'll just send,
like, a cucumber or something.
433
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,863
And you know, if you ask me,
it was especially smart
434
00:18:15,896 --> 00:18:18,966
of those farmers to build
a mall inside their camp,
435
00:18:18,999 --> 00:18:20,367
because think about it.
436
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,770
Now if the government
sends in police officers,
437
00:18:23,804 --> 00:18:27,574
those cops automatically
become mall cops
438
00:18:27,608 --> 00:18:29,877
and lose all authority.
439
00:18:29,910 --> 00:18:32,279
Check... mate.
440
00:18:32,312 --> 00:18:35,349
So the next time you see
"Indian farmers" trending,
441
00:18:35,382 --> 00:18:38,452
you'll have a little idea
of what it all means.
442
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:39,720
The government is trying
443
00:18:39,753 --> 00:18:41,488
to force the farmers back
to their fields,
444
00:18:41,522 --> 00:18:44,324
but the farmers aren't
giving up their demands.
445
00:18:44,358 --> 00:18:47,027
And nobody knows how
this thing is going to end up.
446
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:48,629
But I don't know.
447
00:18:48,662 --> 00:18:51,198
If I may quote one
of their prominent supporters,
448
00:18:51,231 --> 00:18:53,133
this protest might just,
449
00:18:53,166 --> 00:18:55,002
"work, work, work, work,
work, work."
450
00:18:55,035 --> 00:18:57,371
(speaking gibberish) "Burr,
burr, burr, burr, burr, burr."
451
00:18:57,404 --> 00:19:00,174
And if you don't know,
now you know.
452
00:19:00,207 --> 00:19:01,508
All right, when we come back,
453
00:19:01,542 --> 00:19:03,243
Robin Roberts is joining us
on the show,
454
00:19:03,277 --> 00:19:03,343

00:19:08,213 --> 00:19:09,881
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
456
00:19:09,915 --> 00:19:11,383
Earlier today, I spoke
457
00:19:11,416 --> 00:19:14,619
with Good Morning America's
very own Robin Roberts.
458
00:19:14,653 --> 00:19:17,789
We talked about her new special
about the Tuskegee Airmen,
459
00:19:17,822 --> 00:19:20,292
returning to the studio
after broadcasting from home
460
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:24,763
and who the greatest
NFL player is of all time.
461
00:19:24,796 --> 00:19:27,499
I never thought I'd worry
about my baby girl anymore,
462
00:19:27,532 --> 00:19:30,068
-but I...
-Oh, no need to worry.
463
00:19:30,101 --> 00:19:31,503
Thank you very much.
464
00:19:31,536 --> 00:19:33,438
-Yes, sir, my pleasure.
-Thank you.
465
00:19:33,471 --> 00:19:35,273
Watch it.
Watch the long step.
466
00:19:35,307 --> 00:19:36,908
-Oh. So good.
-(applause)
467
00:19:36,942 --> 00:19:40,011
-Hey, you look beautiful,
beautiful. -Oh...
468
00:19:40,045 --> 00:19:43,014
ROBERTS:
My father passed away in 2004.
469
00:19:43,048 --> 00:19:44,683
He didn't get to witness
470
00:19:44,716 --> 00:19:47,852
the Airmen receiving
such recognition.
471
00:19:47,886 --> 00:19:50,522
But his legacy,
like that of all
472
00:19:50,555 --> 00:19:53,825
the Tuskegee Airmen,
is enduring.
473
00:19:53,858 --> 00:19:56,861
It is a legacy of determination,
474
00:19:56,895 --> 00:19:59,764
pride and courage.
475
00:19:59,798 --> 00:20:03,602
Robin Roberts, welcome to The
Daily Social Distancing Show.
476
00:20:03,635 --> 00:20:05,170
(laughs)
477
00:20:05,203 --> 00:20:07,606
It's... it's a...
it's a pleasure to be here.
478
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:11,209
Um, many people know you as the
face of Good Morning America.
479
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:13,678
You have been the face
of America's institution
480
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:15,247
for an extremely long time.
481
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,015
But a lot of people may not know
that you were the face
482
00:20:17,048 --> 00:20:20,685
of Sportscenter for 15 years,
and you covered the NFL
483
00:20:20,719 --> 00:20:22,621
for an extremely long time,
so I would like to know
484
00:20:22,654 --> 00:20:24,155
from you
the most important question
485
00:20:24,189 --> 00:20:25,857
that is plaguing America
right now.
486
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:29,527
-Yes. -Is Tom Brady
the greatest of all time?
487
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:31,129
Oh! Oh, come on.
488
00:20:31,162 --> 00:20:32,464
Give me something hard!
489
00:20:32,497 --> 00:20:34,599
That's a softball
you're starting with me.
490
00:20:34,633 --> 00:20:37,636
-That's a softball?
-He's the GOAT! He...
491
00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:39,237
Okay. Okay, no, no, no, fine.
492
00:20:39,271 --> 00:20:41,239
I'll give you
a harder one, Robin.
493
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:46,077
Is Tom Brady the greatest
athlete of all time?
494
00:20:46,111 --> 00:20:48,613
See, now, that's...
Okay, that's harder.
495
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:52,817
Is he the greatest athlete
of all time?
496
00:20:52,851 --> 00:20:54,486
You know what?
That's debatable.
497
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:56,521
Uh, I love me
some Serena Williams.
498
00:20:56,555 --> 00:20:59,624
You know, 23 Grand Slam titles,
one when she was pregnant.
499
00:20:59,658 --> 00:21:01,426
Try that, Tom brady, okay?
500
00:21:01,459 --> 00:21:03,094
(both laughing)
501
00:21:03,128 --> 00:21:06,765
Right? You-you win
a Super Bowl while pregnant,
502
00:21:06,798 --> 00:21:08,633
uh, maybe-maybe we'll talk.
503
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:11,102
But, you know, but it's fun
to have this argument.
504
00:21:11,136 --> 00:21:14,973
And I'm just glad to,
in my lifetime, to have seen...
505
00:21:15,006 --> 00:21:17,976
-to be seeing someone like that.
-Right, right.
506
00:21:18,009 --> 00:21:20,979
To have seen Michael Jordan,
to be seeing Serena Williams.
507
00:21:21,012 --> 00:21:23,949
I mean, we've had some great,
great athletes during our time.
508
00:21:23,982 --> 00:21:26,284
But he is... he is special.
509
00:21:26,318 --> 00:21:28,920
You've always shown love
to the team that you work with

00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:31,056
on camera every single morning.
511
00:21:31,089 --> 00:21:33,458
We wake up with you,
we enjoy watching you.
512
00:21:33,491 --> 00:21:36,094
What has been it like
doing the show from home now?
513
00:21:36,127 --> 00:21:37,462
Because a lot of your show is
514
00:21:37,495 --> 00:21:40,165
about that chemistry
that you share in person.
515
00:21:40,198 --> 00:21:42,467
It really is,
and I got to tell you, I've got
516
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:44,536
some great teammates at GMA.
517
00:21:44,569 --> 00:21:48,073
Uh, Michael Strahan,
who's at home now because
518
00:21:48,106 --> 00:21:51,810
-he was diagnosed
with COVID-19. -Yeah, yeah.
519
00:21:51,843 --> 00:21:53,378
Fine, fine, thank goodness,
but now,
520
00:21:53,411 --> 00:21:55,013
he's broadcasting from home.
521
00:21:55,046 --> 00:21:56,815
For a time,
George had to do the same.
522
00:21:56,848 --> 00:21:59,885
I did it for the longest.
I was at home seven months.
523
00:21:59,918 --> 00:22:02,120
-Had my paw-ducer, my doggie.
-Wow.
524
00:22:02,153 --> 00:22:03,855
My girlfriend Amber
helping out.
525
00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:05,857
That was really difficult.
526
00:22:05,891 --> 00:22:08,894
It was really challenging
to keep that-that chemistry
527
00:22:08,927 --> 00:22:11,863
when you have, like,
a two-second delay, you know?
528
00:22:11,897 --> 00:22:14,866
But more than that, it's just...
But I have to say, Trevor,
529
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:17,936
when I came back
into the studio in September,
530
00:22:17,969 --> 00:22:20,138
man, it is like...
531
00:22:20,171 --> 00:22:22,407
I can't describe the feeling.
532
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,642
And I know it's a feeling
533
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:24,910
that a lot of people
are going to have
534
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:26,578
once they can get back
to their workplace.
535
00:22:26,611 --> 00:22:28,380
-Right.
-We've never been better.
536
00:22:28,413 --> 00:22:30,215
We've never been more in sync.
537
00:22:30,248 --> 00:22:32,951
You've been the face that has
guided America through crises.
538
00:22:32,984 --> 00:22:35,554
You've been there to share
some of the most fun stories.
539
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:38,123
Um, but this new project
that you're embarking on
540
00:22:38,156 --> 00:22:40,926
might be my favorite
Robin Roberts project yet.
541
00:22:40,959 --> 00:22:43,194
It's about the Tuskegee Airmen,
542
00:22:43,228 --> 00:22:46,197
and it's entitled
Legacy of Coverage.
543
00:22:46,231 --> 00:22:47,966
And what I love about it is,
not just
544
00:22:47,999 --> 00:22:49,200
that you're telling the story,
545
00:22:49,234 --> 00:22:50,602
but your connection
to the story.
546
00:22:50,635 --> 00:22:52,304
Tell me how this all came
to be, please.
547
00:22:52,337 --> 00:22:54,239
Their-their legacy is so broad.
548
00:22:54,272 --> 00:22:56,708
You know,
fighting fascism abroad
549
00:22:56,741 --> 00:22:58,577
and then, racism
back here at home.
550
00:22:58,610 --> 00:23:00,579
My father,
Colonel Lawrence E. Roberts,
551
00:23:00,612 --> 00:23:03,215
was a Tuskegee Airmen.
At the age of 19,
552
00:23:03,248 --> 00:23:06,952
he got on a segregated train,
trained to be a pilot.
553
00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:10,689
What they did in World War II,
what the Tuskegee Airmen,
554
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:13,658
AKA, the Red Tails, because
they had to paint their tails
555
00:23:13,692 --> 00:23:16,695
so they would know,
'cause they escorted bombers,
556
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:19,264
and they needed to know
that they were friendlies
557
00:23:19,297 --> 00:23:20,432
-and not the enemy...
-Right.
558
00:23:20,465 --> 00:23:21,933
that was escorting them
like that...
559
00:23:21,967 --> 00:23:25,203
Exemplary flying record
that they had,
560
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:28,373
and that they had
to fight for that right and...
561
00:23:28,406 --> 00:23:31,443
Thank Eleanor Roosevelt who was
the First Lady at the time.
562
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:33,211
Went down to Tuskegee.
Can you imagine this?
563
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:35,280
Went down to Tuskegee
in the '40s,
564
00:23:35,313 --> 00:23:38,516
got in a plane with a black man.
565
00:23:38,550 --> 00:23:40,719
Flew with them and said,
"They're all right. Let 'em go."
566
00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:44,723
And so, then they were able
to go and actually be in combat.
567
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:47,025
Before, they could just train,
but they couldn't fight.
568
00:23:47,058 --> 00:23:49,628
And all they wanted to do was
fight for their country,
569
00:23:49,661 --> 00:23:51,296
like everybody else
at that time.
570
00:23:51,329 --> 00:23:53,965
I've often seen...
I've often seen the story
571
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:56,401
of-of the Tuskegee Airmen
as-as-as myth.
572
00:23:56,434 --> 00:23:58,103
It's African American myth,
and it's beautiful.
573
00:23:58,136 --> 00:24:00,205
It's, like, these legends
and these heroes.
574
00:24:00,238 --> 00:24:02,641
But this story takes us
through a different journey
575
00:24:02,674 --> 00:24:05,877
about how they were fighting
just to get the military
576
00:24:05,911 --> 00:24:07,946
to accept Black service members,
577
00:24:07,979 --> 00:24:11,049
just to get the American public
to accept Black service members.
578
00:24:11,082 --> 00:24:13,685
It was a challenge
that we really take for granted
579
00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:15,253
when you are just seeing
the accolades
580
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:16,755
that they achieve, now.
581
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:19,524
And that's why it's so important
that people watch this film
582
00:24:19,558 --> 00:24:21,459
because we take you there.
583
00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:24,796
All they wanted to do
was fight for this country.
584
00:24:24,829 --> 00:24:26,331
They wanted to fly.
585
00:24:26,364 --> 00:24:29,834
And when they came back from
the war, it wasn't as heroes.
586
00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:33,004
They came back,
and after all they had done,
587
00:24:33,038 --> 00:24:36,274
they were told "Back of the bus.
You're a second-class citizen."
588
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:40,745
And they fought to...
integrate the military,
589
00:24:40,779 --> 00:24:45,750
and also, many of them became
very, very much a part
590
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:48,453
-of the civil rights movement
at the time. -Right.
591
00:24:48,486 --> 00:24:52,724
And it really gave us as-as,
um... as... as a public,
592
00:24:52,757 --> 00:24:55,527
um, a framework to go like,
"Oh, my gosh.
593
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,962
"You know, they were challenged
594
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:58,897
that they didn't have
the intellect to fly."
595
00:24:58,930 --> 00:25:01,466
But, you know what,
they showed that excellence
596
00:25:01,499 --> 00:25:05,370
and, yes, Black excellence
can beat adversity of all types.
597
00:25:05,403 --> 00:25:08,139
And that's the kind of message
that they sent
598
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:11,509
to-to so many people
back here in the U.S.
599
00:25:11,543 --> 00:25:13,078
There's no denying
that in America,
600
00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:15,513
there is the dichotomy
that many Black people face
601
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:17,349
where they say,
"I love this country,
602
00:25:17,382 --> 00:25:19,017
"and yet it feels like
this country
603
00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:21,219
does not love me in return."
604
00:25:21,253 --> 00:25:23,855
From your father's perspective
and being his daughter
605
00:25:23,889 --> 00:25:26,758
and seeing how he navigated
this paradox,
606
00:25:26,791 --> 00:25:28,393
what do you think we can learn
from that journey
607
00:25:28,426 --> 00:25:31,363
and-and how to, I think,
have the conversations
608
00:25:31,396 --> 00:25:33,665
in and around patriotism
and still challenging America
609
00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:35,267
to be better to its citizens?
610
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,769
Thank you for using
the word "patriotism."
611
00:25:37,802 --> 00:25:41,006
My father was a patriot,
a true patriot,
612
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:42,774
and that's all he ever said.
613
00:25:42,807 --> 00:25:45,243
He would talk
about how he felt freer
614
00:25:45,277 --> 00:25:49,014
in the air than on the land
as a Black man in this country.
615
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:50,749
And I think it's very timely
616
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,318
given what we went through
in 2020:
617
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:54,920
the racial reckoning,
618
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:57,756
seeing young, old, black, white,
619
00:25:57,789 --> 00:26:01,026
taking to the streets
and saying, "No more. No more."
620
00:26:01,059 --> 00:26:02,460
Um, it was really...
621
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:04,663
And I think this is why
this film is so timely,
622
00:26:04,696 --> 00:26:08,300
because, yes, we go back,
and we show their legacy,
623
00:26:08,333 --> 00:26:10,135
but we also bring it to today.
624
00:26:10,168 --> 00:26:12,437
You see how they impacted...
625
00:26:12,470 --> 00:26:14,839
Barack Obama himself said
626
00:26:14,873 --> 00:26:16,207
they were an example to him
627
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:18,944
that propelled him
into public service.
628
00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:21,780
So, I think when we watch
a film like this,
629
00:26:21,813 --> 00:26:23,448
we're reminded of our history,
630
00:26:23,481 --> 00:26:26,151
and it lets us know, "Why
am I taking to the streets?"
631
00:26:26,184 --> 00:26:28,086
And, yeah, some things,
we're still fighting for.
632
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,955
-Right.
-Some things are very similar
633
00:26:29,988 --> 00:26:32,724
that we're fighting for
that they did, as well.
634
00:26:32,757 --> 00:26:34,125
It's heartfelt, it's wonderful,
635
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:35,760
and I can see why
because of the story
636
00:26:35,794 --> 00:26:37,662
and the...
and the history that you share
637
00:26:37,696 --> 00:26:39,397
with one of those airmen
and, I guess,
638
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:40,899
the story
of all of them combined.
639
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:43,001
Robin Roberts, thank you so much
for joining me on the show.
640
00:26:43,034 --> 00:26:45,237
Next time,
I'm gonna wear a hoodie.
641
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:46,671
Gonna bring me back on the show,
642
00:26:46,705 --> 00:26:48,707
-I'm gonna bring... -Don't
do that to America, Robin.
643
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:51,142
You don't do that to America.
Please, I beg you.
644
00:26:51,176 --> 00:26:52,777
Do not do that to America.
645
00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:55,380
-Thank you, Trevor.
-Take care.
646
00:26:55,413 --> 00:26:57,315
Tuskegee Airmen:
Legacy of Courage
647
00:26:57,349 --> 00:26:59,951
will premiere February 10th
on the History Channel.
648
00:26:59,985 --> 00:27:01,386
Make sure to catch it.
649
00:27:01,419 --> 00:27:02,621
All right, when we come back,
650
00:27:02,654 --> 00:27:05,156
Netflix star
and heartthrob Noah Centineo
651
00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:08,226
talks to me on the show
about the final installment
652
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:08,326
of To All the Boys.
You don't want to miss it.
653
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:14,032
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
654
00:27:14,066 --> 00:27:16,201
Earlier today,
I spoke with Noah Centineo,
655
00:27:16,234 --> 00:27:19,137
star of the hit Netflix
franchise To All the Boys.
656
00:27:19,171 --> 00:27:20,772
We talked about his journey
657
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:23,342
from playing romantic hero
to superhero
658
00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:24,977
and so much more.
659
00:27:25,010 --> 00:27:27,012
-Ooh, character socks?!
-(chuckling)
660
00:27:27,045 --> 00:27:29,681
Come on! Thanks.
661
00:27:30,716 --> 00:27:33,118
They're kind of hard to find
in your size.
662
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:38,156
-(laughs)
-Aah! No, no, no, no, no!
663
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,058
Truce or else you don't get
your last present.
664
00:27:41,093 --> 00:27:42,527
Yes!
665
00:27:42,561 --> 00:27:45,230
-(groans)
-(laughs)
666
00:27:45,263 --> 00:27:48,500
Noah Centineo, welcome to The
Daily Social Distancing Show.
667
00:27:48,533 --> 00:27:51,203
(laughs)
Glad to be here.
668
00:27:51,236 --> 00:27:53,772
Very, uh, non...
I mean, we're not even...
669
00:27:53,805 --> 00:27:55,140
Is this even social distancing
670
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:56,608
if we're not even
in the same room?
671
00:27:56,642 --> 00:27:57,809
This is like
telemetric distancing.
672
00:27:57,843 --> 00:27:59,211
-It's nice.
-I think it's...
673
00:27:59,244 --> 00:28:00,779
I think it's the ultimate form
of social distance.
674
00:28:00,812 --> 00:28:03,048
Like, it's the furthest distance
that you can do socially.
675
00:28:03,081 --> 00:28:04,616
-You know what I mean?
-It's not gonna be...
676
00:28:04,650 --> 00:28:06,852
-Yeah. -Yeah, that is true.
It's like asocial distancing.
677
00:28:06,885 --> 00:28:08,687
-I like it. -That's ex...
That's exactly what it...
678
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,922
Is this, like, a Noah thing? Are
just Noahs growing their hair?
679
00:28:10,956 --> 00:28:12,924
-Is that what's going on
right now? -Yeah. (laughs)
680
00:28:12,958 --> 00:28:15,193
I suppose. I suppose it...
681
00:28:15,227 --> 00:28:17,129
If you pull yours out, has it...
It's probably...
682
00:28:17,162 --> 00:28:18,830
Oh, yeah, mine can go...
Yeah, mine...
683
00:28:18,864 --> 00:28:21,133
If you... If you pull...
Yeah, it can go all the way.
684
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:23,902
I try and keep it, like, just...
You know, it depends on the day.
685
00:28:23,935 --> 00:28:26,571
I just, you know...
I just... Eh. Eh.
686
00:28:26,605 --> 00:28:29,508
Uh, you know, it's...
I get it. It's just a feeling.
687
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:31,977
Yeah, yeah, it is a feeling. Um,
but welcome to the show, man.
688
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:33,445
I've wanted to have you on
for a while.
689
00:28:33,478 --> 00:28:35,681
Um,
not for anything professional.
690
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:37,582
Just because I'm a fan,
you know?
691
00:28:37,616 --> 00:28:39,651
I, uh, I grew up
watching rom-coms.
692
00:28:39,685 --> 00:28:41,920
Like, there was, like,
a period in my life
693
00:28:41,953 --> 00:28:44,690
when rom-coms
were the best possible movie
694
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:48,026
that you could watch, like,
in the cinema or at home.
695
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:50,262
And then, all of a sudden,
rom-coms weren't cool,
696
00:28:50,295 --> 00:28:52,230
and then I had to act
like I didn't like them.
697
00:28:52,264 --> 00:28:54,900
And then To All the Boys
came along,
698
00:28:54,933 --> 00:28:57,336
and then yourself
and Lana just...
699
00:28:57,369 --> 00:28:59,771
You took me back to a time
that I...
700
00:28:59,805 --> 00:29:02,741
that I forgot I enjoyed
as much as I did.
701
00:29:02,774 --> 00:29:04,009
Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky
702
00:29:04,042 --> 00:29:05,444
have this magic on camera,
703
00:29:05,477 --> 00:29:06,578
but I feel like yourself
and Lana
704
00:29:06,611 --> 00:29:08,013
have it off camera, as well.
705
00:29:08,046 --> 00:29:10,349
You-you have this vibe
about you as people.
706
00:29:10,382 --> 00:29:12,351
It's like... You know,
because we live in an age now
707
00:29:12,384 --> 00:29:14,753
where back in the day,
movie stars were movie stars,
708
00:29:14,786 --> 00:29:16,455
and that was it.
You didn't see them otherwise.
709
00:29:16,488 --> 00:29:18,824
Whereas
with-with movie stars of today
710
00:29:18,857 --> 00:29:21,126
we get to touch you
and feel you on social media.
711
00:29:21,159 --> 00:29:22,527
We get to see who you are
712
00:29:22,561 --> 00:29:24,796
when there's no movie
taking place.
713
00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:27,265
When you look at your life
and how it's changed,
714
00:29:27,299 --> 00:29:31,003
what do you think is the reason
that people are so into you
715
00:29:31,036 --> 00:29:32,671
as an actor
and as a person right now?
716
00:29:32,704 --> 00:29:33,739
Like,
there's something that people
717
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:35,774
are clearly gravitating towards.
718
00:29:35,807 --> 00:29:37,643
Hmm. Uh, it's, I mean,
it's a good question.
719
00:29:37,676 --> 00:29:41,013
I was talking about this
literally, like, two days ago,
720
00:29:41,046 --> 00:29:43,515
about the difference
between being, like, in movies
721
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:45,484
50 years ago versus now
722
00:29:45,517 --> 00:29:48,787
is there's-there's
practically no barrier,
723
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:51,757
you know,
because of social media.
724
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:54,826
I don't know,
I feel like I'm fairly eccentric
725
00:29:54,860 --> 00:29:56,128
and-and fairly quirky
726
00:29:56,161 --> 00:29:58,363
and fairly goofy
in my own right.
727
00:29:58,397 --> 00:30:01,667
And I think because I-I kind of
lean into social media
728
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:05,103
without necessarily,
um, making it,
729
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:08,740
uh, like, a cash cow for myself.
730
00:30:08,774 --> 00:30:11,410
-Right, right, right. Yes.
-Or shooting... doing shoots
731
00:30:11,443 --> 00:30:12,944
so that I look a certain way.
732
00:30:12,978 --> 00:30:16,648
Like, I kind of just have
utilized social media as a tool
733
00:30:16,682 --> 00:30:19,451
to be like, "This is who I am
and what I'm doing today."
734
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:21,820
I think... I think that
combined with, you know,
735
00:30:21,853 --> 00:30:23,955
doing a project and playing
a role like Peter Kavinsky
736
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:26,658
that, I guess, was relatable
or hit a certain way
737
00:30:26,692 --> 00:30:30,329
just kind of made for this storm
where people went,
738
00:30:30,362 --> 00:30:32,197
"Oh, yeah,
I want to continue to see
739
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:34,399
whatever this person's doing."
(laughs)
740
00:30:34,433 --> 00:30:36,902
Is there a part of you
that-that is already sad
741
00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:39,571
at the fact that you will never
get to be Peter Kavinsky again?
742
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:41,239
I mean, now, this...
Maybe you guys will do, like,
743
00:30:41,273 --> 00:30:42,975
an old-age home version of it,
but for now, it's done.
744
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:44,876
-So this is gonna be the last
one. -If we do an old-age home,
745
00:30:44,910 --> 00:30:46,611
I want Mark Ruffalo
to play older Peter.
746
00:30:46,645 --> 00:30:48,180
(both laugh)
747
00:30:48,213 --> 00:30:50,649
I can actually see it.
You know, I can actually see it.
748
00:30:50,682 --> 00:30:54,086
Yeah, he makes a strong return,
reigning champion of rom-coms.
749
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:56,588
Um, bittersweet is,
like, I guess,
750
00:30:56,621 --> 00:30:59,024
the most generic way
but accurate way to describe it.
751
00:30:59,057 --> 00:31:00,792
-Right.
-Um...
752
00:31:00,826 --> 00:31:03,962
Sad, no.
I don't feel sadness about it.
753
00:31:03,996 --> 00:31:06,865
I feel...
I feel like it's resolved.
754
00:31:06,898 --> 00:31:09,735
As far as the way that trilogies
755
00:31:09,768 --> 00:31:11,803
or series get to resolve,
756
00:31:11,837 --> 00:31:13,639
I think that, you know,
757
00:31:13,672 --> 00:31:16,208
I feel very good
about the resolution.
758
00:31:16,241 --> 00:31:17,542
You know, I feel like I've given
759
00:31:17,576 --> 00:31:19,411
as much as I possibly can
to Peter.
760
00:31:19,444 --> 00:31:20,946
-Mm-hmm.
-Uh, and, so, I haven't...
761
00:31:20,979 --> 00:31:22,581
I don't really have any regrets.
762
00:31:22,614 --> 00:31:24,149
I think... Ooh, this...
763
00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:26,685
The thing I care about the most
is that the fans,
764
00:31:26,718 --> 00:31:29,054
the people
that not just follow me
765
00:31:29,087 --> 00:31:32,491
but, you know, are...
that love the world so much,
766
00:31:32,524 --> 00:31:33,825
I hope
that they feel fulfillment
767
00:31:33,859 --> 00:31:35,127
out of the third movie.
768
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,995
Dude,
if-if people are fans of yours,
769
00:31:37,029 --> 00:31:38,664
they-they are not gonna suffer,
770
00:31:38,697 --> 00:31:41,900
um, struggling to find places
to watch you.
771
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:45,671
You have become one of the most
in demand actors in Hollywood.
772
00:31:45,704 --> 00:31:48,440
Y-You're gonna be starring
in The Diary,
773
00:31:48,473 --> 00:31:49,941
directed by Jackie Chan.
774
00:31:49,975 --> 00:31:51,510
Right? You're gonna be starring
775
00:31:51,543 --> 00:31:54,146
alongside
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
776
00:31:54,179 --> 00:31:55,714
in Black Adam.
777
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:57,749
And then just, I think,
like, a few days ago,
778
00:31:57,783 --> 00:32:00,485
I saw, like, online,
they were like,
779
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:02,554
"Yeah,
Noah's gonna be in the movie
780
00:32:02,587 --> 00:32:04,823
about the GameStop shares thing
that happened"?
781
00:32:04,856 --> 00:32:06,258
I was like,
"How is that even a movie?"
782
00:32:06,291 --> 00:32:07,993
What does that even... Are you,
like, buying the shares?
783
00:32:08,026 --> 00:32:09,294
Are you selling the shares?
784
00:32:09,328 --> 00:32:10,962
Are you... Are you Robinhood?
Are you GameStop?
785
00:32:10,996 --> 00:32:12,364
Wait,
what-what is happening here?
786
00:32:12,397 --> 00:32:15,000
My buddy Enzo is super in tune,
787
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:17,369
you know, with, uh,
with that whole situation.
788
00:32:17,402 --> 00:32:18,937
-Right. -He was telling us
about it, like,
789
00:32:18,971 --> 00:32:20,572
like, three weeks ago.
790
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:23,241
And, so, I immediately was like,
"Well, I'm (bleep) in."
791
00:32:23,275 --> 00:32:25,577
Like, I'm buying into these...
Like, I'll buy all of them.
792
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:27,879
-(laughing) -I'm like, well,
how... We're watching.
793
00:32:27,913 --> 00:32:29,481
We're watching it. And, um,
794
00:32:29,514 --> 00:32:32,184
my manager comes over one day,
and he's like,
795
00:32:32,217 --> 00:32:33,785
"What are you guys
talking about? Like..."
796
00:32:33,819 --> 00:32:35,320
And, so, we were like...
(babbles)
797
00:32:35,354 --> 00:32:37,923
We just, like, like, were
talking incessantly about it.
798
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:40,092
Um, and the next thing I know,
799
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:42,127
boom, there's a whole project.
800
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,962
Man, I'll tell you,
as a fan of yours,
801
00:32:43,996 --> 00:32:45,864
it's been insane
watching the journey.
802
00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:47,733
Continue growing,
continue having fun,
803
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:49,601
don't stop being grateful,
thank you for joining me
804
00:32:49,635 --> 00:32:51,637
-on the show, my dude.
-Dude, no, of course!
805
00:32:51,670 --> 00:32:54,272
Thank you, man. I don't want
to say goodbye! (bleep) that!
806
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:56,508
-There's got to be more.
-(laughter)
807
00:32:56,541 --> 00:32:58,443
There's always more!
There's always more,
808
00:32:58,477 --> 00:33:00,145
but there's time limits
on everything.
809
00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:02,314
There's
time limits on everything.
810
00:33:02,347 --> 00:33:04,516
And I just hope the audience
watches this interview,
811
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:06,618
and goes, "You know what, this
gave me the conclusion
812
00:33:06,652 --> 00:33:09,588
I was looking for, this gave me
the ending I was looking for."
813
00:33:09,621 --> 00:33:12,424
"I'm not even gonna watch the
movie-- this was all I needed."
814
00:33:12,457 --> 00:33:15,260
(laughs) Noah, thanks
for joining me, man.
815
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:17,129
Yeah, Trev, thanks for,
thanks for having me.
816
00:33:17,162 --> 00:33:19,131
-Good to see you again. -Take
care, brother. I'll see you.
817
00:33:19,164 --> 00:33:22,067
Don't forget, To All the Boys
Always and Forever
818
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,337
will stream on Netflix
on February 12.
819
00:33:25,370 --> 00:33:28,273
Make sure you catch it, 'cause
you can watch it the next day.
820
00:33:28,307 --> 00:33:30,042
All right, we're gonna take
a quick break.
821
00:33:30,075 --> 00:33:30,142
But we'll be right back
after this.
822
00:33:33,077 --> 00:33:34,845
Well, that's our show
for tonight, but before we go,
823
00:33:34,879 --> 00:33:36,981
this month, as you know, is
Black History Month.
824
00:33:37,014 --> 00:33:40,551
So please consider supporting
Barbershop Books.
825
00:33:40,584 --> 00:33:43,254
It's an organization that
creates child-friendly
826
00:33:43,287 --> 00:33:45,556
reading spaces
in barbershops and provides
827
00:33:45,589 --> 00:33:48,058
early literacy training
to barbers.
828
00:33:48,092 --> 00:33:50,795
All to inspire Black boys
and other vulnerable children
829
00:33:50,828 --> 00:33:52,329
to read for fun.
830
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:54,198
If you're able to,
then all you got to do
831
00:33:54,231 --> 00:33:57,234
is go to the link below
and donate whatever you can.
832
00:33:57,268 --> 00:33:59,537
Until tomorrow,
stay safe out there,
833
00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:02,206
wear a mask and remember,
834
00:34:02,239 --> 00:34:05,843
do not put Gorilla Glue
on your hair.
835
00:34:05,876 --> 00:34:08,846
Only on your gorilla.
836
00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:12,316
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
837
00:34:12,349 --> 00:34:16,954
JUDGE: Mr. Ponton, I believe
you have a filter turned on.
838
00:34:16,987 --> 00:34:19,290
In the video settings.
839
00:34:19,323 --> 00:34:23,027
-You might want to, uh...
-Uh...
840
00:34:23,060 --> 00:34:25,996
we're trying to, we're tr--

842
00:34:28,999 --> 00:34:31,836

843
00:34:31,869 --> 00:34:34,171

00:34:34,205 --> 00:34:38,375

845
00:34:38,409 --> 00:34:40,644

00:34:40,678 --> 00:34:40,745
That's not, I'm not a cat.
