ON, EVERYBODY, WELCOME TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW,
I’M TREVOR NOAH TODAY IS MONDAY,
THE 16th OF NOVEMBER WHICH
MEANS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ONLY
65 DAYS LEFT TO SELL ALL THE
WHITE HOUSE FURNITURE ON
CRAIGSLIST, COME ON TRUMP, GET
GOING.
ANYWAY COMING UP ON TONIGHT’S
SHOW, THERE IS A YOUNGER AN
HOTTER CORONAVIRUS VACCINE,
DONALD TRUMP GETS A LOSER
APPROXIMATE RAID IN HIS HONOR
AND TA-NEHISI COATES IS JOINING
US ON THE SHOW TO TALK ABOUT HOW
BOOKS ARE BEING TURNED INTO
MOVIES.
SO LET’S DO THIS, PEOPLE,
WELCOME TO THE DAILY SOCIAL
DISTANCING SHOW.
FROM TREVOR’S COUCH IN NEW
YORK CITY TO YOUR COUCH
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
THIS IS THE DAILY SOCIAL
DISTANCING SHOW WITH TREVOR
NOAH.
Trevor: LET’S KICK THINGS
OFF WITH THE CORONAVIRUS, THE
REASON WE ARE ALL THROWING
DINNER PARTIES IN A PARKING LOT.
RIGHT NOW THINGS ARE LOOKING
PRETTY DIRE.
THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 11 MILLION
RECORDED CASES IN THE U.S. AND
ONE-THIRD OF ALL AMERICANS KNOW
SOMEONE WHO HAS DIED OF
COVID-19.
AND WITH THE HOLIDAYS JUST
AROUND THE CORNER THERE IS BOTH
GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS.
THE BAD NEWS, OF COURSE, IS THAT
YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO SPEND TIME
WITH YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY.
THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU WON’T HAVE
TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR EXTENDED
FAMILY.
AND THIS MORNING THERE WAS ALSO
SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS.
THIS MORNING ANOTHER
POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH IN THE
BATTLE AGAINST COVID.
A VACCINE DEVELOPED BY MODERNA
SHOWING A 94.5 PERCENT EFFICACY
RATE IN A TRIAL WITH 30,000
PARTICIPATES.
ONE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE MODERNA VACCINE AND ONE
DEVELOPED BY PFIZER THAT ALSO
REPORTED VERY PROMISING RESULTS
IN EARLY TRIAL, MODERNA SAYS ITS
VAC EVEN DOESN’T NEED TO BE
EXPECT AT EXTREMELY LOW
TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN STABLE.
THAT COULD HELP WITH SHIPPING
AND DRIKSZ.
Trevor: YES, PEOPLE, JUST
WEEKS AFTER THE VACCINE WAS
ANNOUNCED, THERE IS ANOTHER ONE
ON THE WAY.
I MEAN ARE YOU SERIOUS?
NO VACCINE, TWO VACCINES.
I MEAN AT THIS POINT IN THREE
MONTHS, WE’LL HAVE SO MANY
VACCINES YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
PICK THE ONE THAT BEST FITS YOUR
PERSONALITY.
ARE YOU GETTING THE MODERNA.
NO, I’M GETTING THE FIEDZER
ONE, I’M A GEMINI.
NOW APPARENTLY THE PFIZER
VACCINE IS 90% EFFECTIVE.
BUT THE MODERNA VACCINE IS 94.5
PERCENT EFFECTIVE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, RIGHT.
I’M TAKING BOTH.
BECAUSE THEN I WILL BE 184
PERCENT IMMUNE FROM COVID, BABY.
WHOOO.
WHEN COVID IS IN THE ROOM IT IS
TBING TO CATCH ME, WHERE YOU AT,
COVID, THIS WILL ALSO RAISE THE
STAKES ON VACCINES BECAUSE SOME
SCIENTISTS WILL COME OUTLINING I
MADE ANOTHER VACCINE, IT IS 88
PERCENT EFFECTIVE AND WE WILL BE
LIKE WHAT?
KILL YOURSELF, 88 PERCENT DUMB
ASS.
HERE IS SOMETHING, MODERNA SAYS
THAT ITS RESEARCH IS GOING MUCH
FASTER THAN EXPECTED.
BECAUSE IN RDER TO GET ENOUGH
DATA THEY NEED A CERTAIN NUMBER
OF PEOPLE IN THE STUDY TO CATCH
CORONAVIRUS.
AND THAT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY EASY
BECAUSE THIS PANDEMIC IS SO OUT
OF CONTROL.
JUST IMAGINE THAT FOR A SECOND.
WE ARE GETTING THE VACCINE
FASTER BECAUSE OF IRRESPONSIBLE
PEOPLE SO GO OUT ON YOUR BALCONY
AT 7 P.M. TOMORROW NIGHT AND YOU
CLAP FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE
NOT WEARING MASKS.
GUYSK LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WHEN THIS VACCINE HITS, THERE IS
A STREAK OF THE STREETS ARE
GONNA BE LIT, THE END OF WORLD
WAR II LIKE, I WILL BE IN TIME
SQUARE KISSING THE FIRST BAT
THAT I SEE, COME HERE.
LET’S MOVE ON.
BECAUSE EVEN AS THE CORONAVIRUS
IS KEEPING MOST PEOPLE CLOSE TO
HOME, THERE ARE STILL SOME
PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE LIVING
THEIR LIVES AN EVEN TRAVELING.
AND I MEAN WILL TRAVELING.
JUST HOURS AGO SPACEX
LAUNCHED FOUR ASTRONAUTS TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
IT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE ST THE
FIRST FULL-FLEDGED TAXI FLIGHT
FOR NASA BY PRIVATE COMPANY.
THE CREW WILL REACH THE SPACE
STATION LATE TOMORROW AND STAY
THERE UNTIL SPRING.
Trevor: THAT’S RIGHT,
FOLKS.
THANKS TO ELON MUSK AND SPACEX
ASTRONAUTS CAN BASICALLY CATCH
AN UBER TO SPACE.
ALTHOUGH IT IS GOING TO BE
RISKY.
I MEAN YOU WILL TAKE A AN UBER
TO SPACE IT WILL COST LIKE DM 12
BUT WHEN YOU COME BACK TO EARTH
THERE WILL BE SURGE PRICING,
200,000K I’M NOT GOING TO PAY
$200,000 TO GO BACK TO EARTH.
YOU COULD ALWAYS TAKE THE
BUS.
THE BUS, DUDEK I’M NOT TRYING
TO GET PROBED BY ALIENS AM ARE
YOU GETTING ONE STAR FOR THIS.
I WONDER WHAT ONE STAR UBER RIDE
INTO SPACE WOULD LOOK LIKE.
SO THE COCKPIT DOOR BLEW OPEN,
THE AIR GOT SUCKED OUT OF THE
CABIN, WITH HE WERE DYING AND
WORST OF ALL THE CHARGER DIDN’T
WORK.
I FOR ONE AM VERY EXCITED BY HOW
MUCH EASIER SPACE TRAVEL HAS
GOTTEN.
THINK JUST 50 YEARS AGO A SPACE
LAUNCH WAS A GLOBAL EVENT.
PEOPLE CROWDED AROUND THEIR TV’S
TO WATCH IT.
NOW THERE ARE SPACE LAUNCHES ALL
THE TIME.
NO ONE CARES.
SOON IT WILL BE SO COMMON THAT
LIKE PEOPLE WON’T EVEN FEEL COOL
ANY MORE.
IT WILL BE LIKE TELLING PEOPLE
YOU ARE GOING TO TULUME.
PEOPLE ARE LIKE I WENT TO SPACE
LAST WEEKS.
CONGRATULATES ON BEING
SPACEX.
LET’S MOVE OG TO ANCIENT
EGYPT WHERE AN INCREDIBLE
DISCOVER WAS UNEARTHED.
PEOPLE IN EGYPT DIGGING UP
HISTORY DATING BACK MORE THAN
2,000 YEARS, ARC YL GUESTS ARE
SHOWCASING MORE THAN 100 COFFINS
FOUND IN A HUGE BUR YELL GROUND.
EACH SARCOPHAGUS AND COFFIN IS
PAINTED WITH INTRI GAT CARVINGS.
X-RAYS SHOW MUMMIFIED BODIES
INSIDE.
A LOT OF THE INDIVIDUALS BURIED
IN THESE ARE MEMBERS OF
HIGH-CLASS EGYPTIAN SOCIETY SO
THEIR COFFINS WERE HIGHER
QUALITY WITH MORE HE LAP RAT
DESIGNS.
THEY ARE GOING TO GO ON DISPLAY
AT EGYPT’S GRAND NATIONAL MUSEUM
NEXT YEAR.
Trevor: WAIT, THEY JUST
HAPPENED TO FIND A HUNDRED
COFFINS?
AND NOW I’M SURE THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO NEED MONEY TO STUDY
THESE COFFINS.
I DON’T KNOW GUYS.
SOUNDS LIKE A TYPICAL PYRAMID
SCHEME.
BY THE WAY, I LOVE HOW GRAVE
ROBBING IS OKAY IF YOU JUST CALL
YOURSELF AN ARCHAEOLOGIST, THAT
IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THEY ARE ROBBING GRAVES, THE
ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THEY ARE
WEARING A WEIRD HAT SO IT IS
OKAY.
IMAGINE IF YOU SAW SOME GUY
DIGGING UP YOUR GRANDMA, HEY,
STOP THAT, THAT IS MY
GRANDMOTHER’S GRAVE.
I AM WEARING THE HAT.
AND DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON
THAT ONE MUMMEE’S FACE.
HE LOOKS LIKE HE GOT CAUGHT
DO DOING SOMETHING EMBARRASSING
AND HE REALLY DOESN’T WANT YOU
COPING UP HIG SAR-- SARCOPHAGUS.
YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THAT YOUR
GRAVE IS GOING TO BE DUG UP, BE
PREPARED, WHEN I DIE, MI GOING
TO POSE LIKE A GANGSTER IF MY
COFFIN.
SO WHEN THEY GIG DIG ME UP THEY
WILL BE LIKE WE DON’T FOE MUCH
ABOUT THIS ANCIENT CULTURE BUT
JUDGING BY THIS MAN’S POSE HE
WAS CLEARLY A BAD ASS.
AND FINALLY HERE IS SOME WEIRD
NEWS FROM THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
WE KNOW THE PLATYPUS IS A
STRANGE ANIMAL, THAT WE KNOW.
IT IS A MAMMAL BUT IT DOES LAY
EGGS.
IT HAS WEBBED FEET AND DUCK LIKE
BILL, ALSO IT PRODUCES VENOM.
NOW WE’RE ALSO FINDING OUT THAT
THE COAT OF THESE ANIMALS GLOWS
UNDER A BLACK LIGHT.
AN ARTICLE PUB WILL BED IN THE
JOURNAL MAMMAL YA IS IF YOU
SHINE A ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT ON ITS
FUR IT WILL GIVE UP A GREENISH
BLUE TINT.
ONE OF THE FEW MAMMALS KNOWN TO
DO THIS.
SCIENTISTS ARE STILL IN THE DARK
ABOUT WHY THEY HAVE THIS TRAIT.
IF THERE IS EVEN A REASON AT
ALL.
Trevor: I’M SORRY, WHAT?
PLATYPUS’ GLOW UNDER BLACK
LIGHT?
WHO MADE THESE CREATURES?
HUH?
THEY GLOW?
THEY’VE GOT VENOM, THEY LAY
EGGS, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE FUR AND
THEY ARE MAMMALS IT IS ALMOST
LIKE GOD WAS FINISHED BUILDING
THE EARTH AND USED THE LEFTOVER
PIECES TO BUILD THE PLATYPUS.
TAKE THE SPARE DUCKBILL WITH
THE RACCOON BODY, LET’S SEE WHAT
HAPPENS.
THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING.
HONESTLY, PEOPLE, WE KEEP
FINDING OUT MORE STRANGE THINGS
ABOUT WHAT PLATYPUSES DO EVERY
DAY, AT THIS POINT PUT THEM IN A
COCKPIT OF A PLANE, MAYBE IT
KNOWS HOW TO FLY.
AND ALSO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN
THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, HUH?
HALF THE WORLD’S SCIENTISTS ARE
WORKING THEIR ASS OFF TO FIND A
VACCINE SO WE CAN GO BACK TO
LIVING OUR LIVERS AND THE OTHER
HALF ARE I DON’T KNOW, LET’S SEE
WHAT GLOWS AM I WILL SAY THIS,
IT DOES EXPLAIN WHY WE HAVE
NEVER SEEN A PLATYPUS ON AN
EPISODE OF CSI.
ALL RIGHT, I WILL USE THE
BLACK LIGHT TO SCAN FOR ANY
EVIDENCE OF THIS MURDER SCENE.
OKAY.
WHAT DO WE-- DETECTIVE PLATYPUS,
WHAT THE HELL?
NO, GUYS, IT’S TOTALLY NOT
WHAT YOU THINK.
WE HAVE TO TAKE A SHORT
BREAK.
BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, PRESIDENT
TRUMP OFFICIALLY CONCEDES AND
OFFICIALLY UNCONCEDES THE
ELECTION.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? FIND OUT WHEN WE RETURN.
WELCOME BACK TO THE DAILY SOCIAL
DISTANCING SHOW.
LATE LAST WEEK NEWS NETWORK
OFFICIALLY CALLED GEORGIA-- FOR
JOE BIDEN BRINGING THE FINAL
ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE TO
306-232679 THE EXACT COUNT THAT
DONALD TRUMP WON BY IN 2016
WHICH BASICALLY MEANS THAT TRUMP
IS THE HILLRY CLINTON OF THIS
ELECTION.
LOCK ME UP.
MANY ARE REFUSING TO ADMIT THEIR
MAN HAS LOST AND OVER THE
WEEKEND THEY HIT THE STREETS IN
D.C. TO MAKE THEIR CASE.
WHILE TRUMP VOWED TO KEEP
WAGING HIS UPHILL LEGAL BATTLE,
THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS FLOODED
THE STREETS OF THE CAP TOLLING.
-- CAPITOL.
THE DEMONSTRATORS RALLIED
BEHIND A PRESIDENT WHO HAS
REFUSED TO CONCEDE AN ELECTION
HE LOST.
LARGELY MASKLESS CROWD ECHOING
HIS BASELESS CLAIMS ABOUT
WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD CHANTING
THIS ISN’T OVER.
LOOK, THIS ISN’T OVER, NOT
EVEN CLOSE TO BEING OVER.
FAR RIGHT GROUPS LIKE THE
PROUD BOYS LINKED TO WHITE
SUPREMACY AND VIOLENCE MADE
THEMSELVES VISIBLE AT SATURDAY’S
EVENT.
Trevor: WOW, THIS IS SO
STRANGE.
WHY DOES THE NOT WHITE
SUPREMACIST PRESIDENT HAVE ALL
THESE WHITE SUPREMACISTS COMING
OUT TO SUPPORT HIM, IT’S SO
WEIRD.
ALSO IT IS INTERESTING HOW NOW
ALL THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE
SUDDENLY OKAY WITH PROTESTING
AND BLOCKING TRAFFIC.
HOW QUICKLY THEIR ATTITUDES HAVE
CHANGED.
I BET WE’RE ONLY THREE MONDAYS
AWAY FROM THEM KNEELING AT
FOOTBALL GAMES LIKE I WILL NOT
STAND FOR THE ANTHEM OF A
COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT MY
MAGANESS.
I ACTUALLY FEAL BAD FOR A LOT
OF PEOPLE.
I FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE BEEN BRAIN WASHED INTO
THINKING THAT BIDEN DON’T WIN.
I FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
GOT HURT IN THE VIOLENCE THAT
BROKE OUT AND MOST OF ALL I FEEL
BAD FOR WHOEVER’S U-HAUL THIS
IS.
THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE WORST
MOVING DAY OF ALL TIME.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT GUY WAS
LIKE ALL RIGHT, I WILL GET UP
REALLY EARLY, PACK UP QUICK,
IT’S THE WEEKEND SO THERE WON’T
BE ANY TRAFFIC.
AND IT IS REALLY NO SUR PRIES
THAT TRUMP SUPPORTERS AREN’T
ADMITTING DEFEAT BECAUSE THE
TRUTH IS THEY ARE JUST TAKING
THEIR LEAD FROM THE MAN HIMSELF.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SPENT THIS
SUNDAY GOLFING AND TWEETING UP A
STORM.
EARLY THIS MORNING WRITING THIS
ABOUT PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN.
HE WON BECAUSE THE ELECTION
WAS RIGGED.
CRITICS AND EVEN SOME REPUBLICAN
SUPPORTERS TOOK THAT TO MEAN
THAT MR. TRUMP WAS FINALLY
ADMITTING THAT HE HAD LOST.
BUT THE PRESIDENT SOON FOLLOWED
UP WITH ANOTHER TWEET STATING HE
BIDEN ONLY WON IN THE EYES OF
THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA.
I CONCEDE NOTHING.
LAST NIGHT THE PRESIDENT
TWEETED "I WON THE ELECTION"
EVEN THOUGH HE IS BEHIND BY MORE
THAN FIVE AND A HALF MILLION
VOTES.
TWITTER QUICKLY FLAGGED
MR. TRUMP’S CLAIM NOTEK OFFICIAL
SOURCES CALLED THIS ELECTION
DIFFERENTLY.
Trevor: I WILL SAY, MAN,
ALL THE TALK ABOUT TRUMP BEING
AN ASPIRING DICTATOR, THIS IS
SOME WEAK SHIT LIKE NOW IS THE
TIME YOU SHOULD BE TAKING OVER
ALL THE STATE CAPITOLSK
INSTALLING NEW GOVERNORS
ARRESTING OPPOSITION LEADERS,
DOING ALL OF THAT.
INSTEAD HE IS SITTING AT HOME
TRYING TO MANIFEST A WIN ON
TWITTER LIKE A LITTLE BITCH.
I WON, SEND, DOES THAT WORK,
OKAY, HOW ABOUT I AM THE WINNER.
SEND.
NO.
OKAY.
HOW ABOUT I LOST, NOT, THAT IS
THE ONE.
Trevor: IS HE SPREADING SO
MUCH MISINFORMATION EVEN TWITTER
HAS HAD IT WITH TRUMP.
ALSO IF DONALD TRUMP TRULY
BELIEVED ANY OF THIS NONSENSE,
JUST BELIEVE HE WOULDN’T BE
GOLFING, IF YOU ARE TRULY
FIGHTING AGAINST WRONGDOING AND
CORRUPTION, YOU GENERALLY DON’T
FIND THE TIME TO SQUEEZE IN A
GAME OF GOLF.
NELSON MANDELA WAS NEVER LIKE
WHERE ARE MY-- WHERE ARE MY
SPIKESK I GOT TO PLAY AND
OPPRESSION.
BUT FIRST, I HAVE TO WORK ON
MY SHORT GAME.
AT THIS POINT I FEEL LIKE
TRUMP WILL ALWAYS FIND TIME FOR
GOLF NO MATTER WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
HE COULD BE RUNNING AWAY FROM A
BEAR AND HE WOULD STILL BE LIKE
THE BEAR IS GOING TO KILL ME.
THE BEAR IS GOING TO-- HOLD ON.
REMEMBER THIS GREEN IS BAD.
AAHH, THE BEAR.
SO DONALD TRUMP IS STAYING
THAT HE WON THE ELECTION.
HIS SUPPORTERS ARE SAYING THAT
HE WON THE ELECTION.
BUT MEANWHILE TRUMP’S LAWYERS
ARE SLOWLY MOON WALKING AWAY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FACING A NEW
SETBACK IN HIS LEGAL CHALLENGES
TO THE ELECTION.
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS ABANDONING
A MAJOR PART OF HIS LEGAL
CHALLENGE TO VOTES IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
THE CAMPAIGN IS DROPPING ITS
CLAIM THAT OFFICIALS UNLAWFULLY
BLOCKED OBSERVERS FROM WATCHING
BALLOT COUNTING IN PHILADELPHIA
AND PITTSBURGH.
TODAY THE PRESIDENT’S LAWYERS
DROPPED THEIR LAWSUIT IN
ARIZONA.
ADMITTING IT WOULD NOT CHANGE
ENOUGH VOTES TO MATTER.
IN A PENNSYLVANIA LAWSUIT A
JUDGE ASKED TRUMP’S ATTORNEY ARE
YOU CLAIMING THAT THERE IS ANY
FRAUD IN CONNECTION WITH THESE
DISPUTED BALLOTS.
THE TRUMP ATTORNEY ADMITTED
NO.
ON FRIDAY A TOP LAWYER AT
JONESDAY WHICH HAS REPRESENTED
MR. TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN FOR MORE
THAN FOUR YEARS TOLD COLLEAGUES
DURING A VIDEO CONFERENCE CALL
THAT JONES DAY WOULD NOT GET
INVOLVED IN ADDITIONAL
LITIGATION IN THIS ELECTION.
Trevor: DAMN, DONALD.
YOU ARE LOSING COURT CASES ALL
OVER THE PLACE.
IT IS ALMOST LIKE A MIRACLE, HE
TOOK ONE ELECTION LOSS AND
TURNED IT INTO A THOUSAND MORE
LOSSES.
YEAH, EXACTLY LIKE A MIRACLE BUT
FOR LOSING.
I MEAN THINK ABOUT IT, HE IS THE
FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES THAT LAWYERS DON’T WANT
TO REPRESENT.
AND LAWYERS WILL REPRESENT
ANYBODY.
IF YOU SLIP AND FELL THREE
BLOCKS AWAY FROM A WAL-MART, YOU
WILL FIND A LAWYER WHO WILL BE
LIKE WE HAVE TO SUE THAT
WAL-MART.
YOU’VE GOT A CASE.
BUT TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT AND
THEY’RE LIKE COME ON MAN,
DON’T-- THE BEST FARTHER IS HOW
THESE LAWSUITS ARE SLOWLY
WHITTLING DOWN TO NOTHING FROM
WHERE THEY STARTED.
BECAUSE WHEN IT KICKS OFF,
TRUMP’S LAWYERS WERE LIKE YOUR
HONOR, THIS ELECTION WAS RIGGED.
AND THEN IT WAS LIKE OKAY, THE
ELECTION WASN’T RIGGED BUT THEY
DIDN’T LET US OBSERVE IT.
OKAY, THEY LET US OBSERVE THE
ELECTION BUT NOT AS CLOSELY AS
WE WANTED.
OKAY NONE OF THAT IS TRUE BUT
CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT THE WORD
"ELECTION IS WEIRD" IT’S WEIRD,
RIGHT, HE LECH-SHUN, SOUNDS
WEIRD, RIGHT, WE CAN AGREE ON
THAT.
SO LOOK, TRUMP CAN SAY WHAT HE
WANTS AND HIS SUPPORTERS CAN
ALSO SAY WHAT THEY WANT.
BUT HIS LAWYERS CLEARLY KNOW THE
TRUTH.
AND THE TRUTH IS THAT TRUMP LOST
THE ELECTION AND NOT BECAUSE OF
ANY VOTER FRAUD.
PEOPLE VOTED.
AND ON JANUARY 209.
HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE OUT
OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE GOOD NEWS FOR TRUMP IS
THERE’S A GUY WITH I U-HAUL WHO
IS PROBABLY STILL GOING TO BE
OUT THERE AND HE CAN HELP THEM
MOVE.
STICK AROUND BECAUSE WHEN WE
COME BACK, DESI LYDIC GOES
ONE-ON-ONE WITH TUCKER CARLSON.
AND DON’T FORGET TA-NEHISI
COATES IS JOINING US ON THE
SHOW. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW.
IN THESE CORONAVIRUS TIMES
EVERYONE IS KEEPING IN TOUCH
WITH THEIR RELATIVES USING VIDEO
QUAWLS.
AND THAT INCLUDES OUR VERY OWN
DESI LYDIC WHO IS ACTUALLY
RELATED TO TUCKER CARLSON FROM
FOX NEWS.
YEAH, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HE’S
HER FOURTH COUSIN ON HER AUNT’S
SIDE BY DIVORCE.
SO RECENTLY DESI GOT IN TOUCH
WITH COUSIN TUCK AND HERE’S HOW
IT WENT.
HEY COUSIN TUCK, HOW’S IT
GOING.
FEELING A BIT MORE RELAXED NOW
THAT THE ELECTION IS OVER IN
LOOK, I WAS HOPING THAT WE COULD
JUST KIND OF PUT IT ALL BEHIND
US AND GET BACK TO NORMAL.
NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.
YEAH, I GUESS.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE’RE
STILL FAMILY.
PLUS I WOULD LOVE TO START
PLANNING THANKSGIVING NOW THAT
HALLOWEEN IS OVER.
THE GREAT ORANGE EMERGENCY
HAS PASSED NOW.
AND IT’S PARTY TIME.
WHOOO, THAT’S THE SPIRIT.
LOOK, I KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE
REALLY HARD BUT LET’S JUST TRY
TO NOT TALK ABOUT POLL
FIGURE-- POLITICS AT THE TABLE
THIS YEAR, OKAY.
TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICAN
SUSPECT THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN
FROM THEM.
TUCK, THIS SOUNDS LIKE
ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR CONSPIRACY
THEORIES.
EVER WONDER WHY PEOPLE ON
BOTH SIDES ARE EMBRACING
CONSPIRACY THEORIES, WHY DO YOU
THINK THAT IS HAPPENING?
BECAUSE YOU KEEP SAYING THEM
ON TV.
DO YOU EVEN HAVE EVIDENCE THAT
THERE WAS CHEATING?
ACCORDING TO ONE AFFIDAVIT A
POLL WORKER SAW PEOPLE BRINGING
HANDFULS OF BALLOTS TO A
BIDEN-HARRIS CAMPAIGN VAN.
REALLY, THEY ROLLED UP IN A
BIDEN HARRIS VAN TO CHEAT, THAT
IS LIKE ROBBING A BANK WITH BAGS
THAT HAVE DOLLAR SIGNS ON THEM T
ONLY HAPPENS IN CARTOONS.
WE DON’T KNOW HOW MANY VOTES
WERE STOANL ON TUESDAY NIGHT.
WE DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE
SOFTWARE MANY SAY WAS RIGGED.
WE DON’T KNOW.
WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE THAT
JARED KUSHNER ISN’T A PAPER
MASHIER SCULPTURE JUST CAME TO
LIFE EITHER BUT WE CAN’T ASSUME
THAT WITHOUT EVIDENCE.
WE’RE GETTING OFF TOPIC HERE.
OKAY, THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY
CONTROVERSIAL BUT FOR
THANKSGIVING, I WANT TO MAKE A
TOFURKEY THIS YEAR, COME ON, SAY
SOMETHING, DON’T GIVE ME THAT
TUCKER FACE.
IT’S TOTALLY WRONG AND ITS HE
CRAZY.
IT’S NOT CRAZY, COUSIN
JESSICA SAY VEGAN AND AUNT
EILEEN HAS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
SO IT IS WHAT WE ARE HAVING.
HANG ON, JOHN’S JOINING THE
ZOOM, HEY, SECOND COUSIN SEAN,
I’M REALLY HAPPY THAT ARE YOU
COMING TO THANKSGIVING BUT I’M
GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SAY IT,
WE’RE NOT TALKING POLITICS AT
THE DIN ARE TABLE.
WE CANNOT BE INTIMIDATED INTO
SILENCE.
WE NEED TO FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS ELECTION.
AND THERE ARE QUESTIONS.
AND THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO ANSWER
THEM.
NOT AT THANKSGIVINGS WE
DON’T.
AND I’M NOT TRYING TO SILENCE OR
INTIMIDATE ANYONE.
WHO IS TRYING TO INTIMIDATE YOU
HERE.
THE 99 PERCENT MEDIA MOB, THE
WASHINGTON SWAMP, JOE BIDEN, ALL
DESPERATE, THEY WANT TO JUST
CALL IT A DAY AND STOP YOU FROM
ASKING LEGITIMATE, TOUGH
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ELECTION.
WELL, 2 IS A GOOD THING NONE
OF THEM ARE COMING TO DINNER.
LOOK, I KNOW THAT WE DON’T AGREE
ON THINGS POLITICALLY BUT WE ARE
ALL FAMILY.
SO CAN WE JUST BE NICE?
THEY HATE US, THEY ARE VERY
CLEAR ABOUT THAT FOR FOUR YEARS,
THEY NEVER TRIED TO HIDE IT.
THAT IS NOT TRUE, SEAN, I WAS
VERY HAPPY WHEN YOU SHOWED UP
OUT OF THE BLUE UNANNOUNCED AND
COMPLETELY UNINVITED LAST YEAR.
IT WAS A NICE SURPRISE.
THEY KNEW YOU WERE COMING,
THEY LAUGHED AT YOU WHEN YOU
LEFT.
TUCKER, SHHT IS ONE DAY, JUST
GIVE ME THIS ONE DAY WITH
FAMILY, WITHOUT YELLING OR
FIGHTING OR TALKING ABOUT
CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT THE
ELECTION.
CAN WE JUST HAVE THAT?
ST A NATIONAL DISGRACE.
AT HOW THEY HAVE HANDLED THIS
ELECTION.
OKAY, I’M HANGING UP NOW, I
WILL TALK TO YOU AT CHRISTMAS.
Trevor: YOU DID YOUR BEST,
DESI, I HOPE THANKSGIVING ISN’T
TOO AWKWARD.
STICK AROUND, WHEN WE COME BACK
I WILL BE TALKING TO THE
BRILLIANT TA-NEHISI COATES, YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT.
Trevor: WELCOME BACK TO THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW,
EARLIER TODAY I SPOKE WITH BEST
SELLING AUTHOR TA-NEHISI COATES,
WE TALKED ABOUT THE CURRENT
STAIFT THE COUNTRY, HIS BOOBLGS
BEING ADAPTED INTO FILM AND WHAT
HE THINKS AMERICA IS GOING TO
LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE UPCOMING
YEAR, CHECK IT OUT.
THIS POWER, IS BLACK POWER,
ORIGINATES IN THE VIEW OF THE
AMERICAN GALAXY TAKEN FROM A
DARK AND ESSENTIAL PLANET.
BLACK POWER ASK THE DUNGEON SIDE
VIEW OF MONTH CELLO WHICH IS TO
SAY THE FEW TAKEN IN STRUGGLE,
THE WARMTH OF OUR PARTICULAR
WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER HOW
BRIEF AND BREAK WILL.
WE HAVE MADE SOMETHING DOWN
HERE.
THEY MADE US INTO A RACE, WE
MADE OURSELVES INTO A PEOPLE.
TA-NEHISI COATES, WELCOME
BACK TO THE DAILY SOCIAL
DISTANCING SHOW.
TREVOR, THANKS FOR HAVING ME
BACK, MAN.
Trevor: THIS IS TRULY AN
HONOR BECAUSE I JUST FOUND OUT
TODAY YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE
NUMBER ONE GUEST WE’VE HAD ON
THE SHOW, AS IN LIKE YOU’VE BEEN
ON MY SHOW THE MOST VEHICLE,
YEAH.
IMAGINE THAT.
SIX YEARS WHAT A JOURNEY IT HAS
BEEN, WELL FIVE YEARS I GUESS.
WOW.
Trevor: YOU HAVE BEEN ON
THE SHOW SIX TIMES IN FIVE
YEARS, THAT IS WHAT IT HAS BEEN.
WOW, OH WOW, THAT’S GREAT.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT AT
ALL.
Trevor: I WOULD LOVE TO
KNOW AS SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN
TALKING TO YOU OVER THESE FIVE
YEARS AND SOMEBODY WITH WHO HAS
WATCHED YOUR LIFE CHANGE
DRAMICALLY BUT NOT NECESSARILY
YOUR TENOR, HAVE YOU SEEN A
CHANGE IN THE WORLD AROUND YOU
OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS OR HAVE
YOU JUST EXPERIENCED MORE OF THE
WORLD IN THE WORLD, I MEAN
SPECIFICALLY AMERICA, BECAUSE
THAT IS WHAT YOU RIGHT ABOUT TO
SOME EXTENT I THINK THE WORST IS
PRETTY OBVIOUS.
I THINK A QUARTER MILLION AND
COUNTING AMERICANS DEAD IS
PRETTY OBVIOUS, I HAVE PICKED UP
A MILLION COVID CASES A WEEK.
THAT IS OBVIOUSLY PRETTY BAD.
AND THE FACT THAT REALLY THERE
HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE OF NOTE OR
OF MERIT FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
I DON’T FLOW WHAT A STATE IS FOR
IF IT IS NOT TO PREVENT THE
SENSELESS DEATH OF A QUARTER
MILLION OF ITS INHABITANTS.
WHAT IS THE SENSE OF HAVING A
STATE.
PERHAPS THAT IS KIND OF THE
POINT.
BUT THAT IS PROBABLY UPPERMOST
IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW.
IN TERMS OF TURNING FOR THE
BEST.
THERE HAS BEEN I THINK AMONG A
CERTAIN PORTION OF AMERICANS
OUTSIDE OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
COMMUNITY, PROBABLY AN INCREASED
AWARENESS, YOU KNOW, OF CERTAIN
ISSUES.
I THINK TRUMP HIMSELF HAS
PROBABLY MADE THAT HARD TO
IGNORE.
I THINK OBVIOUSLY THE SUMMER
PROTESTS MADE THAT HARD TO
IGNORE.
THE DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT OF
COVID HAS MADE THAT HARD TO
IGNORE.
HOW LONG THAT WILL LAST OR WHAT
THAT WILL COME TO I’M NOT SURE
BUT IT CERTAINLY IS A CHANGE, I
WOULD SAY.
WE’VE GOT A FEW THINGS
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD OF TA
THEY HISI COATE, LET’S TALK
ABOUT THE WATER DANCER.
THE LAST TIME I WAS WITH YOU IN
THE STUDIO YOU WERE ON TO
PROMOTE THE HARD COVER OF THE
BOOK, NOW IT’S OUT IN PAPER
BACK, WERE YOU EXHAUSTED
PROMOTING THE BOOK BUT I GUESS
YOU GOT FRESH ENERGY.
I BELIEVE THAT OPRAH WINFREY AND
BRAD PITT HAVE TEAMED UP TO MAKE
THE BOOK INTO A FIM.
BRAD PITT AND OPRAH WINFREY, IS
THERE A MOMENT WHERE YOU STOP
AND BE LIKE YO, I’M WORKING WITH
BRAD PITT AND OPRAH WINFREY, THE
KINGS AND QUEENS OF WHITE PEOPLE
AND BLACK PEOPLE, YOU’VE WON THE
GAME.
I HATE TO BREAK YOUR HEART
BUT I’VE NEVER MET BRAD PITT.
Trevor: WOW.
AND YOU KNOW, I DO KNOW OPRAH
A LITTLE, A LITTLE BETTER, YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN, JUST A LITTLE
BETTER.
I DON’T WANT TO TAKE ANY
LIBERTIES HERE.
BUT KNEES ARE THEIR PRODUCTION
COMPANIES.
YOU KNOW, WHICH OBVIOUSLY
REFLECT THEIR VISION, YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN, AND THEIR TASTE AND
AESTHETIC, NOT CASTING ANY
SHADE.
BUT IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE LIKE WE
HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS,
WELL SHOOT, I’VE BEEN, THIS IS
NOVEMBER NOW, SO I HAVE BEEN IN
DISCUSSION WITH PLAN B, WITH BRAD PITT’S PRODUCTION COMPANY
FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, SO IT HAS
BEEN, WHEN I TALK TO THE PEOPLE
WHO WORK FOR THEM, LIKE I TALK
TO THE DAY TO DAY PEOPLE, YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
IT IS CONSTANT CONVERSATION.
I HAVE BEEN TALKING AS RECENTLY
AS YESTERDAY ABOUT HOW WE ARE
GOING TO DO T BUT WHEN IT IS
REPORTED OUT ST LIKE HEY,
TA-NEHISI IS WORKING WITH BRAD
PITT AND OPRAH.
Trevor: WE NEED TO SWITCH
UP YOUR GAME, YOU NEED TO HIRE
ME, I WILL BE THE GUY THAT CALLS
THE PEOPLE WITHOUT WORK FOR THEM
AND THEN I WILL TELL THEM YEAH,
TA-NEHISI WILL PETE WITH BRAD
AND OPRAH.
NO, NO, LOOK, LOOK, THE
PEOPLE WHO DO WORK FOR THEM,
THEY’RE GENIUSES, THEY’RE GREAT,
I LOVE THEM.
I REALLY, REALLY DO.
ISN’T IT FUNNY HOW IT GETS
REPORTED OUT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I
HAVE THROWN A BONE DU --
DU ---- NOBODY, I AM THROWING A
BONE WITH THE DIDI TELLS ME WHAT
FIMS I SHOULD LOOK AT AND WHAT I
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THESE ARE THE VOICES THAT ARE
ACTUALLY IN MY HEAD, YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN, WHEN I’M THINK
BEING IT AS A FIM.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE I’M GETTING
FEEDBACK.
BUT WHEN IT IS REPORTED IN
THE PAPERS IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE
IN A ROOM WITH OPRAH AND BRAD
PITT, ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO WE DO
WITH THIS CHARACTER.
LIKE YO, THIS IS HOW I THINK YOU
SHOULD DO IT, AN OPEN WHERE IS
LIKE EVERYBODY IS GETTING
INVOLVED, THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE.
IT IS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.
Trevor: BUT IT IS STILL A
BIG PROJECT.
I FEEL LIKE ALL OF YOUR PROTECTS
ARE TURNING INTO SOME SORT OF,
YOU KNOW, ARE YOU AN AUTHOR BUT
YOUR WORK, YOUR WORK EVOKES SO
MUCH IMAGERY THAT IT ALMOST
LENDS IT SELF TO BEING CREATE IN
ADDITION SOME SORT OF FILM.
THE SAISM THING IS HAPPENING
BETWEEN THE WORLD AND MEK I GOT
AN OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH AN
ADVANCE COPY OF IT.
AND I MEAN I LOVE THE BOOK.
EVERYONE LOVES THE BOOK, THERE
IS A REASON NEW YORK TIMES BEST
SELLER FOREVER BUT I THINK
SEEING PEOPLE REENACT PORTIONS
OF THE BOOK IN A WAY THAT MAKES
THE CONVERSATION DIFFERENT, IT
REALLY CHANGED THE BOOK.
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO ARTICULATE
IT REALLYK.
BECAUSE FOR THOSE WHO DON’T
KNOW, YOU WROTE THE BOOK N2015
IT WAS A HUGE BEST SELLER AND IN
MANY WAYS IT SHAPED
CONVERSATIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE
IN AND AROUND RACE IN AMERICA,
YOU KNOW?
NOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH HBO
IS THEY CREATED THIS FILM BASED
ON THE BOOK.
AND IT HAS EVERYBODY.
I MEAN FROM HERB LA ALI TO OPRAH
WINFREY AND TI AND YARA.
AND ALL THESE PEOPLE.
AND JOE WHARTON, MY FAVORITE IN
IT BECAUSE OF HOW HE ARTICULATES
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE BOOK.
AND IT IS A CONVERSATION, THE
WAY YOU WROTE IT WAS A
CONVERSATION A LETTER FROM
YOURSELF TO YOUR THEN 14 YEAR
OLD SON.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE
PROJECT IS NOW, FIRST OF ALL,
WHY DO YOU THINK ALL OF THOSE
BIG NAMES AGREED TO DO IT.
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK CHANGED IN
THE PROJECT?
LIKE WHEN YOU PUT FACES TO IT?
SO NOW I HAVE TO PLAY THE
BRAD PITT OPRAH ROLE BECAUSE I
DID NOTHING ON THAT FILM.
LIKE FEEDBACK.
I HAVE NO INCITE INTO,-- IT IS A
BEAUTIFUL FILM, LET ME BE CLEAR,
IT’S BEAUTIFUL.
I’M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHY OR I’M
NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW, YOU KNOW,
IT WAS MADE.
IT IS DIRECTED BY PIE GOOD
FRIEND CAMILA FORD, PRODUCED BY
HER AND SUSAN WATSON OF THIS IS
US FAME.
SO THERE IS A KIND OF INTIMACY
AND BOND.
Trevor: BECAUSE IT IS SO
TRUE TO YOUR WORK.
YEAH.
Trevor: IT IS SURPRISING TO
HEAR YOU SAY NO, I WASN’T-- YOU
ARE IN THE FILM.
I AM, BUT I’M NOT, THOSE,
THAT IS NOT-- I WOULD HAVE NO
IDEA HOW TO TURN BETWEEN THE
WORLD AND ME INTO A FIM, NONE,
NONE, ABSOLUTELY NONE.
AND SO I JUST, CAMILA IS
SOMEBODY I REALLY, REALLY TRUST
BECAUSE SHE HAD DONE THE THEY AT
KAL, AND I HAD WORKED WITH HER.
BUT WHEN WE WERE PITCHING, YOU
KNOW, LIKE NETWORKS AND
EVERYTHING, I REMEMBER BEING IN
THOSE MEETINGS AND OVER ZOOM,
OBVIOUSLY BUT BEING IN THOSE
MEETINGS AND I WASN’T NERVOUS AT
ALL.
BECAUSE I HAD REALLY COMPLETE
FAITH THAT SHE WAS GOING TO DO
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
WHAT THAT SPECIAL THING WOULD
BE, I HAD NO IDEA.
NOT MY PROBLEM.
Trevor: OKAY, SO THEN YOU
WERE IN AN INTERESTING POSITION
BECAUSE WERE YOU AS SURPRISED AS
I WAS WHEN YOU WATCHED IT THEN.
SO WHEN YOU DID WATCH IT, DID
YOU FEEL LIKE IT KEPT THE
ESSENCE OF WHAT THE BOOK WAS OR
DO YOU THINK IT ADDED SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THAT THE BOOK DIDN’T?
I THINK IT ADDED SOMETHING
DIFFERENT, MAN.
BECAUSE I THINK WHEN YOU WRITE A
BOOK, YOU ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE
THE VERY INTIMATE ONE-ON-ONE
EXPERIENCE WITH A READER.
YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST YOU AN THE
READER LOCKED IN THIS ONE PLACE.
AND THE SINGULAR VOICE THAT THE
READER HE’S HEARS THAT COMES OUT
AS COLLABORATION TEU.
THEATER TO SAY NOTHING OF
TELEVISION, IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT
IN THE SENSE THAT THERE WAS
NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE IN
BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME THAT
WOULD HAVE ALLOWED FOR YOU TO
SEE IT THE WAY YOU SEE IT WITH
ANGELA DAVIS READS THOSE WORDS.
Trevor: RIGHT.
WHEN COURTENEY-- IT IS VERY
DIFFERENT THING, I CAN’T DO
THAT.
I CAN’T DO THAT.
AND FRANKLY, ONE OF THE THINGS
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE.
ONE OF THE CRITIQUES
BETWEEN-- AND ME WAS IT DIDN’T
OPEN ITSELF UP IN TERMS OF
GENDER.
YOU KNOW T DIDN’T HAVE, YOU
KNOW, IT WAS-- HEAVILY BLACK
MALE EXPERIENCE.
AND MY THING WAS ALWAYS I HEAR
THAT BUT I REALLY DON’T KNOW
WHAT I AS A WRITER, YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN, COULD DO
DIFFERENTLY WITHIN THE SCOPE OF
WHAT THAT BOOK WAS.
AND YET WHEN I SAW THE FILM, AND
I SAW IT AND IT SAY DEAR SON,
DEAR DAUGHTER, DEAR NEPHEW, DEAR
COUSIN, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
EVEN, IT TOOK ME BACK TO HAVING
A BLACK WOMEN, HAVING
TRANSWOMEN, IN THAT READING, IT
OPENS UP, IT BECOMES SOMETHING
THAT IS MUCH MORE THAN THE BOOK
COULD ACTUALLY BE.
Trevor: THAT’S AMAZING,
MAN.
I FIND MYSELF WONDERING WHEN I
WAS WATCHING T I WAS LIKE THIS
SAY BOOK THAT YOU WROTE FOR
YOURSELF SON.
I MEAN IT’S FOR THE PEOPLE BUT
YOU WROTE IT TO YOUR SOA, YOUR
14 YEAR OLD SON AT THE TIME.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT
CONVERSATIONS YOU HAD WITH YOUR
SON NOW WHO IS 19 AND ALSO WHAT
YOU WOULD HAVE SAID TO HIM THEN
BUT HE WAS TOO YOUNG FOR YOU TO
HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT.
LIKE HOW IS THAT RELATIONSHIP
EVOLVED.
SO HE TURNED 20 IN AUGUST
WHICH IS A CRUCIAL AGE, VERY,
VERY CRUCIAL AGE.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, HE’S OBVIOUSLY
VERY MUCH NOT A BOY ANY MORE.
HE IS VERY MUCH A YOUNG MAN, AN
ADULT.
OUT ON HIS OWN.
I FIND MYSELF, IT’S FUNNY THESE
DAYS, PROBABLY LISTENING TO
SAMARI MORE THAN I FIND MYSELF
TELLING HIM ANYTHING.
HE HAS HIS OWN INTERESTS.
YOU KNOW, HIS OWN THINGS THAT HE
IS PURSUING.
SO PROBABLY NEVER MORE IN MY
LIFE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP HAVE I
ACTUALLY LISTENED MORE THAN I
HAVE TALKED, ACTUALLY.
Trevor: WOW.
WOW, IT’S FASCINATING.
BECAUSE I WILL NEVER BE A 20
YEAR OLD YOUNG BLACK MALE RIGHT
NOW.
I WON’T HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE.
IT IS KIND OF FASCINATING TO BE
LISTENING TO HIM, YOU KNOW, TALK
AND HOW HE SEES THE WORLD.
Trevor: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN THE
WAY THE TWO OF YOU SEE THE
WORLD.
I’M SURE YOU HAVE A LOT OF
SIMILARITIES.
BUT I WILL FIND I HAVE WITH MY
YOUNGER BROTHER, FOR INSTANCE,
OR ANYONE, REALLY, IF YOU SHARE
A CONNECTION WITH THEM BUT THEY
ARE OF A DIFFERENT GENERATION,
SOMETIMES THEY JUST SEE ONE PART
OF THE WORLD IN A DIFFERENT WAY
TO YOU BECAUSE OF WHEN THEY WERE
BORN AND HOW THEY WERE RAISED.
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
WHERE YOU LOOK AT YOUR SON AND
ARE YOU LIKE OH YEAH, I GUESS.
Z HE IS WHO I WAS WITH TEN
TIMES THE CONFIDENCE AND MAYBE
TEN TIMES THE OPPORTUNITY.
YEAH, I RECOGNIZE A LOT OF
MYSELF IN HAIM BUT HE’S MUCH,
MUCH MORE CONFIDENT.
AND I THINK THAT COMES OUT OF
HOW OR WHERE, RATHER, NOT EVEN
HOW, WHERE HE WAS RAISE ADD
OPPOSED TO WHERE I WAS RAISED,
THE ENVIRONMENT I WAS IN, ME AND
MY WIFE TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE
TIME.
ABOUT HOW WE WERE CONSTANTLY
FIELDING-- SHIELDING OURSELVES
FROM THINGS, DUCKING, WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN HERE.
AND HE HAS A LOT LESS OF THAT.
AND THUS HAS A MUCH HIGHER
DEGREE OF BELIEF IN HIS ABILITY
TO ALMOST OUT OF HIS SHEER WILL
JUST CONJURE THINGS.
AND TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE IS
SOME TALK THAT IS OFTEN PULLING
HIM BACK FROM THAT, YOU KNOW.
BECAUSE I THINK IT IS GOOD, IT’S
GOOD.
I REALLY LOVE TO SEE IT BUT
SOMETIMES YOU CAN GO A LITTLE
TOO FAR WITH THAT.
Trevor: BMP I LET YOU GO,
HAVE I TO ASK YOU A QUESTION
THAT I THINK I HAVE ASKED YOU
EVERY TIME YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE
SHOW.
BECAUSE ARE YOU MY FAVORITE
PERSON AND ONLY PERSON I ASK
THIS QUESTION TO.
BUT LOOKING AT THE ELECTION AND
LOOKING AT LIKE THE VACCINE AND
JUST LIKE WHERE WE ARE NOW, HOW
OPTIMISTIC IS TA-NEHISI COATES
NOW ABOUT AMERICA.
IT’S A STRUGGLE.
IT IS GOING TO BE A STRUGGLE.
IT’S GOES TO BE A STRUGGLE FOR
AWHILE I THINK.
I THINK I THINK IT WAS ENORMOUS
DAMAGE DONE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
I THINK FOR A PARTY TO DENY THE
PREVIOUS PRESIDENT THE
OPPORTUNITY TO APPOINT A SUPREME
COURT JUDGE, A LIFETIME
APPOINTMENT, TO WHEN BUT NOT TO
THE POPULAR VOTE, AND THEN TO
APPOINT THREE AND FOUR YEARS.
I THINK THAT THE DAMAGE TO
DEMOCRATIC LEGITIMACY, PILED ON
TO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT TRUMP
HAS DONE, I THINK IS ENORMOUS.
I THINK IS ENORMOUS.
AND I EXPECT TO ACTUALLY OUTLIVE
ME, THE DAMAGE, I THINK IS
REALLY SIGNIFICANT.
SO I THINK WE’RE IN FOR SOME
TOUGH TIMES, YOU KNOW, BUT YOU
FOE AGAIN, I THINK HAVE I SAID
THIS BEFORE.
BEING AFRICAN-AMERICAN, BEING
THE PROAGAINY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE
ENSLAVED IN THIS COUNTRY FOR 250
YEARS AND WHO LIVED THROUGH
ANOTHER SUBSEQUENT 100 YEARSES
OF JIM CROW, HAVING BEEN BORN AT
THE TIME OF THE RISE OF
PRACTICES INCARCERATION THARK
WAS US, WHEN WAS IT NOT, YOU
KNOW, AS IT IS.
IS IT WORSE NOW THAN IT WAS
THEN, NO, IT’S NOT WORSE.
I WOULDN’T SAY THAT.
YOU KNOW, SO THIS IS THE
CONDITION.
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE.
Trevor: AS ALWAYS, I
APPRECIATE HAVING YOU ON.
I’M EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE
ADAPTATION OF YOUR BOOK THAT ARE
YOU NOT WORKING ON WITH BRAD
PITT AND OPRAH.
AND EXCITED FOR THE FILM THAT
WAS MADE FROM YOUR WORK BUT YOU
ARE JUST LIKE I’M GOING TO WATCH
ITNESS.
SO EITHER WAY, I’M EXCITED
FOR YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
TAKING THE TIME.
GOOD SEEING YOU, LOOK AFTER
YOURSELF.
THANK YOU.
Trevor: DON’T FORGET, THE
PAPER BACK OF THE WATER DANCER
AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 17th AND
BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME WILL
PREMIER ON HBO ON NOVEMBER 21S
AND THEN BE AVAILABLE TO STREAM
ON HBO MAX.
WE WILL TAKE A QUICK BREAK

RISK THAN EVER BEFORE,
