1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:03,070
Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I'm Trevor Noah,
2
00:00:03,103 --> 00:00:05,272
and this is The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
3
00:00:05,305 --> 00:00:08,475
Before we get into it,
this weekend is the Super Bowl,
4
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:10,511
and a lot of you
have been asking,
5
00:00:10,544 --> 00:00:12,946
so I'll tell you
who I'm rooting for.
6
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:14,781
Lionel Messi.
7
00:00:14,815 --> 00:00:17,618
Because that, my friends,
is the real football,
8
00:00:17,651 --> 00:00:19,887
because they use their feet.
9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,457
And I'm sick and tired
of America pretending that...
10
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:26,493
(pleasant music playing)
11
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:32,132
I'm glad I could get that
off my chest,
12
00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:34,168
and I'm glad that no one
stopped me from saying it.
13
00:00:34,201 --> 00:00:36,603
Anyway, on tonight's show--
why Lil Uzi Vert
14
00:00:36,637 --> 00:00:38,572
is getting insurance
for his forehead,
15
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:41,408
Roy Wood Jr. and Michael Kosta
preview the Super Bowl,
16
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:45,012
and Marjorie Taylor Greene
discovers 9/11.
17
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:46,513
So let's do this, people.
18
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:49,416
Welcome to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
19
00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:50,884
? ?
20
00:00:50,918 --> 00:00:53,220
ANNOUNCER: From Trevor's couch
in New York City
21
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:55,556
to your couch
somewhere in the world,
22
00:00:55,589 --> 00:00:58,192
this is The Daily
Social Distancing Show
23
00:00:58,225 --> 00:00:59,726
with Trevor Noah.
24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,762
? ?
25
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:04,898
Let's kick things off
with Joseph "Railroad" Biden,
26
00:01:04,932 --> 00:01:08,435
President of the United States
and America's palate cleanser.
27
00:01:08,468 --> 00:01:10,704
He has made fighting
the coronavirus pandemic
28
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:12,406
his top priority.
29
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,842
And while much of that involves
improving vaccine distribution
30
00:01:14,875 --> 00:01:18,178
and doing more testing,
Biden is also considering
31
00:01:18,212 --> 00:01:20,013
a creative new idea.
32
00:01:20,047 --> 00:01:22,115
The Biden administration
is weighing in
33
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:25,285
on a plan to send masks
to every American.
34
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,423
NBC News reports the Biden White
House is considering sending
35
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:32,392
face coverings directly to
households across the country.
36
00:01:32,426 --> 00:01:34,862
The COVID-19 Response Team
is currently evaluating
37
00:01:34,895 --> 00:01:38,565
the logistics of mailing out
millions of masks.
38
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,968
Okay, this is a great idea.
39
00:01:41,001 --> 00:01:42,736
Because it helps everybody.
40
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,838
Democrats get free masks
41
00:01:44,872 --> 00:01:47,040
and Republicans get
free toilet paper.
42
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:48,442
Nah, guys, I'm joking.
43
00:01:48,475 --> 00:01:50,744
I mean, you'd think
that if someone
44
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:52,446
hasn't worn a mask by now,
45
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:54,448
I mean, this isn't going
to convince them.
46
00:01:54,481 --> 00:01:56,083
But you
never should underestimate
47
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:57,317
the power of free shit.
48
00:01:57,351 --> 00:01:58,785
Have you ever seen
the free samples
49
00:01:58,819 --> 00:02:00,587
that people will eat
at a grocery store?
50
00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:02,589
Like, if they'll fight
each other for a plastic spoon
51
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:05,559
of liver casserole, they'll
probably wear a free mask.
52
00:02:05,592 --> 00:02:08,328
At the same time, though,
it might be a little wasteful
53
00:02:08,362 --> 00:02:11,031
to send these masks to everyone.
54
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:13,567
'Cause some of us already have
a ton of masks lying around.
55
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,369
I mean,
you should see my apartment.
56
00:02:15,402 --> 00:02:18,038
It looks like Sub-Zero
hasn't picked up his laundry.
57
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:19,573
But still, it is a good idea.
58
00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:21,275
And based on how well
the government
59
00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:23,410
has managed
vaccine distribution so far,
60
00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:25,145
we can probably all expect
to get our masks
61
00:02:25,179 --> 00:02:26,847
by the end of 2023.
62
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,248
Yay!
63
00:02:28,282 --> 00:02:30,584
But until then, we still have
to deal with the fallout
64
00:02:30,617 --> 00:02:33,420
of the pandemic,
and one of the many casualties
65
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:36,523
has been
the 2020 Tokyo Olympics,
66
00:02:36,557 --> 00:02:39,026
which got cancelled quicker
than Morgan Wallen.
67
00:02:39,059 --> 00:02:41,195
But yesterday,
the Olympic Committee
68
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:44,164
released a new safety plan
to ensure that the games
69
00:02:44,198 --> 00:02:46,433
could go ahead this year
instead.
70
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:48,902
Unfortunately, those plans
were quickly overshadowed
71
00:02:48,936 --> 00:02:51,872
by another announcement
from the Olympic Committee.
72
00:02:51,905 --> 00:02:54,374
The head of the Tokyo Olympics
Organizing Committee
73
00:02:54,408 --> 00:02:56,443
is in some hot water
this morning
74
00:02:56,476 --> 00:03:00,080
over some sexist comments that
were made earlier this week.
75
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:03,083
83-year-old Yoshiro Mori said
that women talk too much
76
00:03:03,116 --> 00:03:06,253
during meetings,
making them run too long.
77
00:03:06,286 --> 00:03:09,823
Mori called that annoying,
and added that women
78
00:03:09,857 --> 00:03:11,859
want to speak up
when they see others speaking.
79
00:03:11,892 --> 00:03:15,128
The former prime minister
was responding to a question
80
00:03:15,162 --> 00:03:17,364
about increasing the number
of female members
81
00:03:17,397 --> 00:03:19,466
of the Organizing Committee.
82
00:03:19,499 --> 00:03:21,869
Mori has since apologized.
83
00:03:21,902 --> 00:03:25,038
Oh, man, this dude is gonna wish
he did resign,
84
00:03:25,072 --> 00:03:28,141
because now he's gonna have
to go back into meetings,
85
00:03:28,175 --> 00:03:30,310
and it's gonna be hella awkward.
86
00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:33,881
Afternoon, Sharon.
How is your department doing?
87
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:36,316
I don't know, Yoshiro.
Do I have enough time
88
00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:38,585
to tell you, ya bitch?
89
00:03:38,619 --> 00:03:41,755
And look, man, I'm not excusing
this guy's sexism,
90
00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:45,192
but at the same time, he is 83.
91
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:47,327
I mean, put your grandparents
in front of a microphone
92
00:03:47,361 --> 00:03:48,862
for two minutes
93
00:03:48,896 --> 00:03:51,899
and see how many are still
allowed to host the Oscars.
94
00:03:51,932 --> 00:03:53,667
And look,
he's not totally wrong.
95
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,070
He's not totally wrong.
Meetings can go longer
96
00:03:57,104 --> 00:03:58,939
when women are in them.
97
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:01,008
I know, I know, but hear me out.
98
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:03,477
Because every time
a woman gives an idea,
99
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:05,846
a man repeats the idea
a minute later.
100
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:07,915
So it doubles the meeting time.
101
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:09,283
You're killing us, ladies.
102
00:04:09,316 --> 00:04:10,851
But honestly,
I don't even know why this guy
103
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:12,352
was having meetings
to begin with.
104
00:04:12,386 --> 00:04:15,389
It's the Olympics. They've
been doing it for 125 years.
105
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:16,990
What do you need to talk about?
106
00:04:17,024 --> 00:04:20,961
All right, everyone, still okay
with the gold being first place?
107
00:04:20,994 --> 00:04:23,230
All right, great.
Item two: second place.
108
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:25,232
Everyone still good
with it being silver?
109
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,201
All right, third place?
110
00:04:27,234 --> 00:04:29,169
But let's move on now
from someone killing his career
111
00:04:29,203 --> 00:04:31,238
to someone killing The Rap Game.
112
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:33,807
What do you do as a rap star
to show the world
113
00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:35,776
that you've really made it? Huh?
114
00:04:35,809 --> 00:04:38,879
Maybe you buy a big house
or a fancy car
115
00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:42,082
or you splurge out
on Hulu Plus. Pew! Pew!
116
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:43,584
No ads.
117
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:47,654
Well, now one rapper is
taking bling to another level.
118
00:04:47,688 --> 00:04:49,523
NEWSWOMAN:
Rapper Lil Uzi Vert has unveiled
119
00:04:49,556 --> 00:04:51,358
his new forehead piercing.
120
00:04:51,391 --> 00:04:55,863
A nearly 11-carat pink diamond
for which he paid $24 million.
121
00:04:55,896 --> 00:04:58,465
MAN: He tweeted that he's been
making payments on the diamond
122
00:04:58,498 --> 00:05:00,601
for the past three years,
and assuring fans
123
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,402
that he does have insurance.
124
00:05:02,436 --> 00:05:04,204
NEWSWOMAN: He said
it's more than his Bugatti,
125
00:05:04,238 --> 00:05:07,574
other cars, his house,
everything combined.
126
00:05:07,608 --> 00:05:09,009
? All my friends are dead ?
127
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:10,477
? Diamond in my head ?
128
00:05:10,511 --> 00:05:12,713
? All my friends are dead... ?
129
00:05:12,746 --> 00:05:15,682
A $24 million piercing?
130
00:05:15,716 --> 00:05:18,852
That, my friends,
is the definition of balling.
131
00:05:18,886 --> 00:05:20,454
I just hope his career
keeps going up.
132
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:21,989
Because there's nothing worse
133
00:05:22,022 --> 00:05:23,423
than having to pawn
your forehead
134
00:05:23,457 --> 00:05:24,758
because times are tough.
135
00:05:24,791 --> 00:05:26,493
But until then,
he's probably gonna be
136
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:28,629
the most recognizable rapper
in the world,
137
00:05:28,662 --> 00:05:30,097
so that's a plus.
138
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:33,200
On the downside, now Vision
can unlock his face I.D.
139
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,202
Ooh, he's gonna see
all your texts.
140
00:05:35,235 --> 00:05:36,603
Not to mention,
141
00:05:36,637 --> 00:05:38,272
the problem with having
a diamond in your forehead
142
00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:40,207
is that you
can never do that thing
143
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,576
where you pretend that
you don't have any money.
144
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:45,245
Sorry, man, times are tough.
I don't have any...
145
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,382
Oh, this? Oh, this, nah,
this is cubic zirconia.
146
00:05:48,415 --> 00:05:50,317
This isn't what you think.
147
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:51,818
Now, look, all hating aside,
148
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:54,621
your forehead is a very
secure place to keep a diamond.
149
00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:56,290
I mean, think about it,
it would take
150
00:05:56,323 --> 00:05:58,759
the world's most skilled
jewel thief to steal it
151
00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:00,160
without getting caught.
152
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:01,995
Which means...
153
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:05,232
ze game is afoot, Lil Uzi Vert.
154
00:06:05,265 --> 00:06:06,900
(speaks French)
155
00:06:06,934 --> 00:06:08,902
But let's get
to today's big story,
156
00:06:08,936 --> 00:06:11,338
the battle
over Georgia congresswoman
157
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:12,806
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
158
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,709
Rising Republican star
and the friend everyone ignores
159
00:06:15,742 --> 00:06:17,311
in the group text.
160
00:06:17,344 --> 00:06:20,681
Greene is known for her history
of deranged beliefs,
161
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:23,016
ranging from racist
conspiracy theories
162
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:25,219
about Jewish space lasers
163
00:06:25,252 --> 00:06:28,522
to supporting calls to
execute Democratic politicians.
164
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:32,459
Now, Democrats can't stop her
from serving in Congress,
165
00:06:32,492 --> 00:06:35,929
and they definitely can't stop
her from saying crazy shit.
166
00:06:35,963 --> 00:06:39,633
But today they decided to give
her just a little less input
167
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:41,502
on running the country.
168
00:06:41,535 --> 00:06:43,237
NEWSWOMAN:
Tonight House Democrats taking
169
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:44,638
an unprecedented step,
170
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:46,940
voting to strip
freshman congresswoman
171
00:06:46,974 --> 00:06:50,077
Marjorie Taylor Green,
a member of the opposing party,
172
00:06:50,110 --> 00:06:51,545
of her committee assignments.

00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:53,614
NEWSMAN: She's gonna be removed
from the House Education
174
00:06:53,647 --> 00:06:56,583
and Labor Committee, as well
as the House Budget Committee.
175
00:06:56,617 --> 00:06:58,952
She's gonna be a member
of the House of Representatives
176
00:06:58,986 --> 00:07:01,088
for the next two years,
but she's gonna be a member
177
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:04,658
without being able to serve
on any of these committees.
178
00:07:04,691 --> 00:07:06,660
Yes, people,
Marjorie Taylor Greene
179
00:07:06,693 --> 00:07:08,662
has been kicked off
her committees.
180
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:10,397
But if you think about it,
181
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:12,533
this is a pretty sweet deal
for Greene.
182
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:15,402
Basically, her punishment
for acting insane
183
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:18,405
was to do less work
for the same amount of money.
184
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,874
And honestly, I think
kicking her off these committees
185
00:07:20,908 --> 00:07:22,276
could actually backfire.
186
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:24,711
The last thing you want to do
with a crazy person
187
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:27,548
is give them time to be crazy.
188
00:07:27,581 --> 00:07:30,117
That's why they should put her
on all the committees.
189
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:32,052
Then you'll never hear
from her again.
190
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:33,954
Excuse me,
when are we gonna talk
191
00:07:33,987 --> 00:07:36,690
about those Jewish space lasers?
192
00:07:36,723 --> 00:07:39,760
Well, now, first we need
to discuss the budget
193
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:42,029
for the asphalt acquisitions.
194
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:45,299
Sharon, do you have the report?
195
00:07:45,332 --> 00:07:47,801
I don't know.
Do I have time to report, bitch?
196
00:07:47,835 --> 00:07:52,005
Oh, come on, I didn't say that.
That was Yoshiro.
197
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:53,340
So Democrats have made
their position
198
00:07:53,373 --> 00:07:55,042
on Marjorie Taylor Greene clear.
199
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:57,644
But Republicans are
a different story.
200
00:07:57,678 --> 00:08:01,415
While some prominent senators
have spoken out against her,
201
00:08:01,448 --> 00:08:04,151
House Republicans held a meeting
last night
202
00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:06,954
where they decided
to stick with her.
203
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:09,523
Or, at the very least,
look the other way.
204
00:08:09,556 --> 00:08:12,593
House Republicans hosted
a marathon meeting overnight...
205
00:08:12,626 --> 00:08:14,761
There's a lot of questions
that have to be answered,
206
00:08:14,795 --> 00:08:17,297
and we've got to be able
to do that in a family meeting
207
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:19,733
to help
bring people back together.
208
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:21,101
NEWSWOMAN:
Marjorie Taylor Greene,
209
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:23,170
who escaped
any punishment yesterday
210
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:24,972
over her very extreme views,
211
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:27,674
including endorsing
political violence
212
00:08:27,708 --> 00:08:29,009
and anti-Semitic falsehoods.
213
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:31,778
Sources say Greene was given
a standing ovation
214
00:08:31,812 --> 00:08:33,547
from half of the members
in the room
215
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:36,917
after she expressed remorse
for some of her past comments.
216
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:38,552
I think it would be helpful
if you could hear
217
00:08:38,585 --> 00:08:40,320
exactly what she told all of us.
218
00:08:40,354 --> 00:08:42,623
Denouncing Q-On--
I don't know if I say it right.
219
00:08:42,656 --> 00:08:45,826
I don't even know what it is.
Um, any from the shootings,
220
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:47,861
she said she knew nothing
about lasers
221
00:08:47,895 --> 00:08:50,731
or all the different things that
have been brought up about her.
222
00:08:50,764 --> 00:08:53,934
Damn! Kevin McCarthy,
he's a GOP OG!
223
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:55,869
I didn't hear shit,
didn't see shit,
224
00:08:55,903 --> 00:08:57,704
and I definitely
don't know shit!
225
00:08:57,738 --> 00:08:59,239
Shit!
226
00:08:59,273 --> 00:09:01,808
It's truly amazing that this guy
acts like he doesn't even know
227
00:09:01,842 --> 00:09:05,045
what QAnon is, even
after they tried to kill him.
228
00:09:05,078 --> 00:09:07,681
I mean, most people
would have at least googled them
229
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:09,116
at that point.
230
00:09:09,149 --> 00:09:11,351
Like, eventually, Carole Baskin
must have been like,
231
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:13,687
"Okay, I'll bite.
Who is this Tiger King guy?
232
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,822
'Cause, I mean, I should
figure this out, right?"
233
00:09:15,856 --> 00:09:17,324
And it's not like these guys
don't have the time
234
00:09:17,357 --> 00:09:18,792
to research conspiracy theories.
235
00:09:18,825 --> 00:09:20,961
'Cause when it comes
to Hunter Biden,
236
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:22,829
they remember every word
237
00:09:22,863 --> 00:09:25,032
like it's the lyrics
to their favorite song.
238
00:09:25,065 --> 00:09:27,634
? The Burisma e-mails decrypted
from the Delaware laptop ?
239
00:09:27,668 --> 00:09:30,204
? Have been verified
by Tony Bobulinski. ?
240
00:09:30,237 --> 00:09:31,772
But then ask them about
the biggest right-wing cult
241
00:09:31,805 --> 00:09:33,040
in the country,
and they're like,
242
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,775
"Uh, coo-non?
243
00:09:34,808 --> 00:09:36,577
"Kwa-hoo-na-na?
244
00:09:36,610 --> 00:09:39,613
Man, who can keep track
of this stuff?"
245
00:09:39,646 --> 00:09:41,248
But, to be fair
to Kevin McCarthy,
246
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:43,317
he's far
from the only Republican
247
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:44,585
who'd rather look like a dumbass
248
00:09:44,618 --> 00:09:47,254
than take a position
on Marjorie Taylor Greene
249
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:48,822
and her crazy beliefs.
250
00:09:48,856 --> 00:09:50,490
Although, some Republicans
251
00:09:50,524 --> 00:09:52,893
are a little smoother at it
than others.
252
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:55,662
Newly elected senator,
archconservative from Alabama
253
00:09:55,696 --> 00:09:57,698
Tommy Tuberville tells CNN
254
00:09:57,731 --> 00:09:59,933
he doesn't know anything
about the congresswoman
255
00:09:59,967 --> 00:10:03,537
because the bad weather
kept him from reading the news.
256
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:04,805
TUBERVILLE:
Travel in this weather,
257
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:06,507
it's been a little rough
looking at...
258
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:08,342
looking at any news or whatever.
259
00:10:08,375 --> 00:10:10,344
(chuckles)
Really?
260
00:10:10,377 --> 00:10:11,745
He hasn't been looking
at the news
261
00:10:11,778 --> 00:10:13,747
because the weather's
been rough?
262
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:15,215
I know it's Alabama,
but is this dude
263
00:10:15,249 --> 00:10:17,117
getting his news by stagecoach?
264
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:19,219
"It's been so stormy,
the pony express
265
00:10:19,253 --> 00:10:21,622
hasn't made it out here
with the latest tweets."
266
00:10:21,655 --> 00:10:23,090
Clearly, Marjorie Taylor Greene
267
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:25,259
has become a distraction
and a liability
268
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:28,562
for the Republican party,
which is maybe why she decided
269
00:10:28,595 --> 00:10:31,265
to step up on the floor
of the House today
270
00:10:31,298 --> 00:10:35,202
and disavow many
of her past insane beliefs.
271
00:10:35,235 --> 00:10:38,038
When I started finding
misinformation, lies,
272
00:10:38,071 --> 00:10:40,974
things that were not true
in these QAnon posts,
273
00:10:41,008 --> 00:10:42,809
I stopped believing it.
274
00:10:42,843 --> 00:10:45,445
School shootings
are absolutely real.
275
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:48,315
And every child that is lost,
276
00:10:48,348 --> 00:10:50,217
those families mourn it.
277
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:53,854
I also want to tell you
9/11 absolutely happened.
278
00:10:53,887 --> 00:10:55,556
So, that I definitely want
to tell you.
279
00:10:55,589 --> 00:10:57,724
I do not believe that it's fake.
280
00:10:57,758 --> 00:10:59,092
Ooh!
281
00:10:59,126 --> 00:11:01,795
Looks like someone
started listening
282
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,031
to the reasonable voices
in her head.
283
00:11:04,064 --> 00:11:05,632
Although, this woman is so crazy
284
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:07,701
that her saying
that 9/11 happened
285
00:11:07,734 --> 00:11:11,071
makes me go, "Wait, did it?"
286
00:11:11,104 --> 00:11:12,973
But, hey, I'm glad
that she's come around
287
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:14,741
to the standard
Republican belief
288
00:11:14,775 --> 00:11:17,044
that school shootings are real
289
00:11:17,077 --> 00:11:19,246
and that nothing should be done
to stop them.
290
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:21,215
But you may not want
to give Greene too much credit
291
00:11:21,248 --> 00:11:22,649
for disavowing
these conspiracies
292
00:11:22,683 --> 00:11:25,619
since it turns out
she doesn't take responsibility
293
00:11:25,652 --> 00:11:28,055
for believing them
in the first place.
294
00:11:28,088 --> 00:11:29,590
What I did is I started
295
00:11:29,623 --> 00:11:31,425
looking up things
on the Internet.
296
00:11:31,458 --> 00:11:33,427
And stumbled across something--
297
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:35,362
and this is at the end of 2017--
298
00:11:35,395 --> 00:11:37,097
called QAnon.
299
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:39,566
I was allowed to believe things
that weren't true,
300
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,768
and I would ask
questions-questions about them
301
00:11:41,802 --> 00:11:43,136
and talk about them.
302
00:11:43,170 --> 00:11:46,106
And that is absolutely
what I regret,
303
00:11:46,139 --> 00:11:49,009
because if it weren't
for the Facebook posts
304
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:52,145
and comments that I liked
in 2018,
305
00:11:52,179 --> 00:11:54,648
I wouldn't be
standing here today,
306
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:58,352
and you couldn't point a finger
and accuse me of anything wrong.
307
00:11:58,385 --> 00:12:00,521
Wow. I've never seen someone
308
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:03,724
try to delete their
browser history in real life.
309
00:12:03,757 --> 00:12:06,927
But, yes, you see,
it's all Facebook's fault
310
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,196
for allowing her
to believe in those things.
311
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:10,831
So don't blame her.
312
00:12:10,864 --> 00:12:12,766
Blame Mark Zuckerberg,
313
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:16,203
with his social media lies
and his space lasers.
314
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:17,504
Now, look, man,
Marjorie Taylor Greene
315
00:12:17,538 --> 00:12:19,039
isn't the first person
to believe things
316
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,207
that she read on the Internet.
317
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,609
But her defense
isn't really reassuring,
318
00:12:22,643 --> 00:12:24,478
because, basically,
what she's saying is,
319
00:12:24,511 --> 00:12:26,146
"Yes, up until now,
320
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:28,515
"I believed
that school shootings were fake,
321
00:12:28,549 --> 00:12:30,050
"9/11 didn't happen
322
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,853
"and that Jewish space lasers
blew up California.
323
00:12:32,886 --> 00:12:35,022
"But that's only because
I am incapable
324
00:12:35,055 --> 00:12:36,957
"of separating fantasy
from reality.
325
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:39,059
"So, let's do the right thing
326
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,428
and let me go back
to making laws."
327
00:12:41,461 --> 00:12:44,164
All right, when we come back,
Roy Wood Jr. and Michael Kosta
328
00:12:44,198 --> 00:12:47,568
break down what we can expect
on Super Bowl Sunday.
329
00:12:47,601 --> 00:12:47,668
You don't want to miss it.
330
00:12:50,636 --> 00:12:52,738
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
331
00:12:52,771 --> 00:12:55,341
This weekend is the Super Bowl,
332
00:12:55,374 --> 00:12:58,344
also known as where Gronk
thinks he lives.
333
00:12:58,377 --> 00:12:59,878
But this Super Bowl Sunday,
334
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:03,215
officials are worried
that a giant platter of wings
335
00:13:03,248 --> 00:13:06,051
isn't the only thing
that's gonna be passed around.
336
00:13:06,085 --> 00:13:07,653
NEWSWOMAN:
As Super Bowl weekend looms,
337
00:13:07,686 --> 00:13:10,789
fears the game could become
a super-spreader event.
338
00:13:10,823 --> 00:13:13,258
The CDC issuing guidelines
for the big game,
339
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:15,594
warning against attending
large gatherings,
340
00:13:15,627 --> 00:13:19,498
urging people to watch at home
with your own household.
341
00:13:19,531 --> 00:13:23,135
Yes, people.
Please, listen to the CDC.
342
00:13:23,168 --> 00:13:24,970
That's what I'm gonna do.
343
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:26,472
I came this far.
344
00:13:26,505 --> 00:13:27,906
I'm not gonna have an obituary
345
00:13:27,940 --> 00:13:30,376
with the word "Buccaneers"
in there.
346
00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:31,744
Yeah, if I'm gonna die,
it's not gonna be
347
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:32,911
because of a football game.
348
00:13:32,945 --> 00:13:34,680
I want to go peacefully
in my sleep
349
00:13:34,713 --> 00:13:36,515
at a baseball game.
350
00:13:36,548 --> 00:13:38,050
So, please, guys,
do the right thing
351
00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:39,418
and watch the game safely.
352
00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:41,220
And for a preview
of the big game,
353
00:13:41,253 --> 00:13:43,722
let's turn now to Roy Wood Jr.
and Michael Kosta
354
00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:45,090
for another episode
355
00:13:45,124 --> 00:13:47,426
of "I Apologize for Talking
While You Were Talking."
356
00:13:47,459 --> 00:13:49,461
? ?
357
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:52,865
-? ?
-What's up, sports fans?
358
00:13:52,898 --> 00:13:54,967
He's Roy Wood Jr.,
I'm Michael Kosta,
359
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,769
and it's that time again, Roy.
360
00:13:56,802 --> 00:13:58,604
We are getting ready
for the Super Bowl.
361
00:13:58,637 --> 00:14:01,807
Yes, we are, Kosta.
Super Bowl LV,
362
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,109
where young upstart
Patrick Mahomes
363
00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:06,378
takes on Tom Brady, who's trying
364
00:14:06,412 --> 00:14:10,049
to become the oldest man
in history.
365
00:14:10,082 --> 00:14:11,650
You know Tom Brady's
been playing forever, Roy,
366
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:13,786
because I've had time
to like him winning,
367
00:14:13,819 --> 00:14:15,187
get sick of him winning,
368
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:18,157
then get sick of myself
being sick of him winning,
369
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:19,558
and now I like him again.
370
00:14:19,591 --> 00:14:21,093
I'm rooting for Mahomes,
371
00:14:21,126 --> 00:14:23,162
but I kind of feel bad
for the dude, Kosta.
372
00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:24,797
You know, on the one hand,
373
00:14:24,830 --> 00:14:27,566
if he loses,
you lost to an old guy.
374
00:14:27,599 --> 00:14:29,902
And then on the other hand,
if he wins,
375
00:14:29,935 --> 00:14:31,070
it's elder abuse.
376
00:14:31,103 --> 00:14:32,638
But either way,
I'm looking forward
377
00:14:32,671 --> 00:14:34,573
to Super Bowl LV--
Kansas City Chiefs,
378
00:14:34,606 --> 00:14:36,408
-Tampa Bay Bucs, let's go!
-(claps)
379
00:14:36,442 --> 00:14:39,044
My whole house is riding
on this. Oh, my God.
380
00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:40,579
Hell, yeah, Roy!
381
00:14:40,612 --> 00:14:43,082
I'm still coming over
to watch the game, right?
382
00:14:43,115 --> 00:14:45,884
Oh, no.
No, the hell you are not, dude.
383
00:14:45,918 --> 00:14:47,653
You're a walking petri dish.
Ugh.
384
00:14:47,686 --> 00:14:49,822
A walking pe...?
385
00:14:49,855 --> 00:14:52,658
Why do you and the CDC
keep saying that?
386
00:14:52,691 --> 00:14:55,294
But let's be real
about this year's Super Bowl.
387
00:14:55,327 --> 00:14:57,296
Things are going to be
a little different
388
00:14:57,329 --> 00:14:59,398
-because of the rona.
-That's right, Roy.
389
00:14:59,431 --> 00:15:01,834
This ain't your mom's
new boyfriend's Super Bowl.
390
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:04,570
Coronavirus is changing
every part of the game,
391
00:15:04,603 --> 00:15:08,073
including the stuff that plays
in between the game.
392
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:09,441
NEWSWOMAN:
The companies behind
393
00:15:09,475 --> 00:15:11,744
some of the most iconic
Super Bowl ads ever
394
00:15:11,777 --> 00:15:15,047
announced they're staying
on the sidelines this year,
395
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,883
choosing not to run any ads
for their products.
396
00:15:17,916 --> 00:15:19,952
Budweiser says
they will donate the money
397
00:15:19,985 --> 00:15:21,987
that would have gone
to a TV spot
398
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:25,524
to COVID vaccine
awareness campaigns instead.
399
00:15:25,557 --> 00:15:27,259
It's a tricky year
to hit the tone
400
00:15:27,292 --> 00:15:29,628
and decide,
are people ready for a laugh?
401
00:15:29,662 --> 00:15:31,930
Or do they want
something more serious?
402
00:15:31,964 --> 00:15:34,166
Now, this is a travesty,
and I'm not just saying that
403
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:35,434
because I nailed my audition
404
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:37,503
to become
the next Budweiser Clydesdale.
405
00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:40,072
I ate 50 pounds of hay
for nothing, Roy.
406
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:41,774
Oh, that's what that was.
407
00:15:41,807 --> 00:15:43,742
I thought you looked
a little horsier than usual.
408
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:46,011
I mean, how are you gonna
sit out the Super Bowl?
409
00:15:46,045 --> 00:15:47,913
It's the one time of the year
people are actually talking
410
00:15:47,946 --> 00:15:49,315
about the commercials.
411
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:51,483
You go to work on Monday,
and your coworker's like,
412
00:15:51,517 --> 00:15:53,018
"What'd you think
of the commercials?"
413
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:55,321
And I'm like, "I don't know.
I was too drunk to remember."
414
00:15:55,354 --> 00:15:56,722
I don't know, Kosta.
It's kind of hard
415
00:15:56,755 --> 00:15:58,090
to do a fun commercial
right now.
416
00:15:58,123 --> 00:15:59,825
And those somber commercials,
they're the worst.
417
00:15:59,858 --> 00:16:02,695
The last thing I want to see
on my TV on Super Bowl Sunday
418
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:04,396
is the Pillsbury Doughboy
419
00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:06,865
talking
about these unprecedented times
420
00:16:06,899 --> 00:16:08,867
before his belly
gets finger blasted.
421
00:16:08,901 --> 00:16:10,235
The good thing, though,
422
00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:12,538
is that these bigger companies
not advertising
423
00:16:12,571 --> 00:16:14,506
makes room
for smaller companies,
424
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:16,375
like, say, Yankee Candle.
425
00:16:16,408 --> 00:16:17,876
That's who I want to see
a commercial from.
426
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:20,012
Big production, fireworks,
the whole nine.
427
00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:24,149
A-And have Morgan Freeman
do the voice-over.
428
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:25,584
(imitating Freeman):
"Yankee Candle.
429
00:16:25,617 --> 00:16:28,821
"The official
shit smell cover-up candle
430
00:16:28,854 --> 00:16:31,056
of the NFL."
431
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:32,491
That's what I want, bro.
432
00:16:32,524 --> 00:16:34,994
Fingers crossed, Roy.
433
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:37,062
Of course, the Super Bowl ads
aren't the only way
434
00:16:37,096 --> 00:16:38,731
the big game will be affected.
435
00:16:38,764 --> 00:16:40,399
If you were hoping
to get a ticket,
436
00:16:40,432 --> 00:16:42,768
you're even more out of luck
than usual.
437
00:16:42,801 --> 00:16:44,370
If you want to go
to the Super Bowl,
438
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:47,206
get ready to dish out
major money for a ticket.
439
00:16:47,239 --> 00:16:48,774
Big game is always pricy,
440
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:51,110
but there is limited capacity
this year.
441
00:16:51,143 --> 00:16:53,178
We're talking
about major, major money.
442
00:16:53,212 --> 00:16:55,414
Right now,
prices range from about $10,000
443
00:16:55,447 --> 00:16:59,084
to nearly $85,000.
444
00:16:59,118 --> 00:17:00,586
I can't even wrap
my head around this.
445
00:17:00,619 --> 00:17:03,455
This is the most expensive
Super Bowl ticket yet.
446
00:17:03,489 --> 00:17:05,824
$85,000 for a ticket?
447
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:07,593
If I was spending
that much money,
448
00:17:07,626 --> 00:17:09,528
the seat better come
with unlimited drinks
449
00:17:09,561 --> 00:17:11,196
and all-you-can-eat hay.
450
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:12,665
One thing I'm glad to see?
451
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:16,468
The NFL is giving 7,500
vaccinated health care workers
452
00:17:16,502 --> 00:17:18,137
free tickets to the game.
453
00:17:18,170 --> 00:17:21,106
They busted their ass for us
this entire pandemic.
454
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:23,275
What better way
to let off a little steam
455
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:26,445
than to see 100 men
slam their brains together?
456
00:17:26,478 --> 00:17:27,579
And those health care workers
457
00:17:27,613 --> 00:17:29,014
aren't the only ones
getting tickets.
458
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:32,885
It turns out at least one poet
got the invite, too.
459
00:17:32,918 --> 00:17:34,820
NEWSMAN: She was the breakout
star at the inauguration,
460
00:17:34,853 --> 00:17:36,655
and now inaugural poet
Amanda Gorman
461
00:17:36,689 --> 00:17:38,924
is going to perform
at the Super Bowl.
462
00:17:38,957 --> 00:17:41,794
She's going to perform
an original poem before the game
463
00:17:41,827 --> 00:17:45,731
to honor three heroes the NFL
has named as honorary captains.
464
00:17:45,764 --> 00:17:48,233
A poem before the Super Bowl?
465
00:17:48,267 --> 00:17:50,970
Eh, I don't know, Kosta.
I-I guess.
466
00:17:51,003 --> 00:17:52,705
But, like,
when I'm trying to get hyped up
467
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:54,206
for some gridiron action,
468
00:17:54,239 --> 00:17:56,542
the last thing I want to hear
is somebody telling me
469
00:17:56,575 --> 00:17:59,778
about the two roads diverged
in the yellow wood
470
00:17:59,812 --> 00:18:02,314
and then, the next thing I know,
I'm crying in the queso
471
00:18:02,348 --> 00:18:04,316
'cause I never went
to dance school.
472
00:18:04,350 --> 00:18:06,986
There's no shame in giving up
on your dreams, Roy.
473
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:08,120
You know?
474
00:18:08,153 --> 00:18:09,488
Props to Amanda Gorman though.
475
00:18:09,521 --> 00:18:12,992
This just shows how huge she's
become since the inauguration.
476
00:18:13,025 --> 00:18:14,693
There's no way the NFL was like,
477
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:17,496
"We definitely want a poet
to kick off Super Bowl.
478
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:19,264
It's just a matter
of which one."
479
00:18:19,298 --> 00:18:21,200
I'm happy for Gorman.
I know she'll crush it.
480
00:18:21,233 --> 00:18:23,102
But the NFL better not think
we're gonna forget
481
00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:24,770
about their diversity problem
though.
482
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:26,238
They promised us Black coaches.
483
00:18:26,271 --> 00:18:29,208
And of the seven head coach
positions that were open,
484
00:18:29,241 --> 00:18:31,510
only one was filled
by a Black guy,
485
00:18:31,543 --> 00:18:32,978
and I'm pretty sure
they only hired him
486
00:18:33,012 --> 00:18:35,514
'cause they thought
he was Obama.
487
00:18:35,547 --> 00:18:38,450
Yeah, I don't know. They
don't really look alike to me.
488
00:18:39,752 --> 00:18:41,286
Wow.
489
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,288
Okay, Kosta.
So you're seriously saying
490
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:45,724
that all Black people
don't look alike?
491
00:18:45,758 --> 00:18:47,126
Um...
492
00:18:47,159 --> 00:18:48,827
-Yes?
-(music stops)
493
00:18:52,231 --> 00:18:54,099
-(chuckles) It was a test.
You passed, man. -Oh! Yes! -? ?
494
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:55,934
-You passed. You were scared.
You passed. -Does that mean
495
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:57,803
we can bubble up
and watch the game?
496
00:18:57,836 --> 00:18:59,872
I promise I'll be safe.
All I have on Saturday
497
00:18:59,905 --> 00:19:02,374
is a dentist appointment
and a four-hand massage.
498
00:19:02,408 --> 00:19:04,176
-But that's it.
-No. Not a chance.
499
00:19:04,209 --> 00:19:05,978
That's all for us, Trevor.
Back to you.
500
00:19:06,011 --> 00:19:07,846
What? Dude, come on,
I'll bring hay.
501
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,415
(stammers)
Stop with the hay.
502
00:19:09,448 --> 00:19:11,483
I'm really worried about you.
503
00:19:11,517 --> 00:19:12,618
Thank you so much for that,
guys.
504
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:13,686
All right, when we come back,
505
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:16,555
Representative Cori Bush
is joining me on the show
506
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:18,390
to talk about her plans
for Congress
507
00:19:18,424 --> 00:19:21,393
and what happened on the floor
just today.
508
00:19:21,427 --> 00:19:21,493
So stick around.
509
00:19:24,396 --> 00:19:25,964
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
510
00:19:25,997 --> 00:19:27,632
Earlier today, I spoke
511
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:30,335
with Representative Cori Bush
of Missouri.
512
00:19:30,368 --> 00:19:32,804
She's part of a new group
of progressive Democrats
513
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:35,741
shaking up Congress
and their own party.
514
00:19:35,774 --> 00:19:37,709
We talked about her first month
in office,
515
00:19:37,743 --> 00:19:40,779
her priorities for Congress,
and so much more.
516
00:19:40,812 --> 00:19:42,380
Congresswoman Cori Bush,
517
00:19:42,414 --> 00:19:44,783
welcome to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
518
00:19:44,816 --> 00:19:47,652
(laughs)
Thanks for having me.
519
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,454
Um, I thank you
for making the time.
520
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:51,990
I mean, we literally had to wait
for this interview
521
00:19:52,023 --> 00:19:55,260
because you were on the floor
giving your remarks
522
00:19:55,293 --> 00:19:57,963
in I-I'm sure
what many people agree
523
00:19:57,996 --> 00:20:01,867
was a fiery condemnation
of your colleagues' inability
524
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:03,702
to condemn white supremacy
525
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:06,071
and also condone the actions of,
526
00:20:06,104 --> 00:20:08,673
in particular,
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
527
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:11,009
Why is this such
a major issue for you?
528
00:20:11,042 --> 00:20:12,310
I know it's an obvious question,
529
00:20:12,344 --> 00:20:14,179
but I want to know
why you were so fired up
530
00:20:14,212 --> 00:20:16,047
by what's happening in Congress
right now.
531
00:20:16,081 --> 00:20:19,518
Multiple reasons.
One is if we don't call it out,
532
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:20,786
if we just allow it,
533
00:20:20,819 --> 00:20:23,155
we continue
with what we have right now.
534
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:26,825
My activist friends and I,
we stood out on the streets
535
00:20:26,858 --> 00:20:28,760
of Ferguson day in and day out.
536
00:20:28,794 --> 00:20:31,596
Rain, sleet, hail, snow,
hell no, we won't go.
537
00:20:31,630 --> 00:20:33,532
Getting our butts kicked
out there on the ground
538
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,935
but then also fighting
to be able to be here,
539
00:20:36,968 --> 00:20:39,638
to be in a place where we get
to make these kind of decisions
540
00:20:39,671 --> 00:20:42,507
to save lives and especially
to save Black lives.
541
00:20:42,541 --> 00:20:45,677
And so you think I'm gonna
make it all the way to Congress
542
00:20:45,710 --> 00:20:48,213
and then be quiet
when-when white supremacy
543
00:20:48,246 --> 00:20:49,815
comes and knocks at the door?
544
00:20:49,848 --> 00:20:53,185
When white supremacy was ready
to attack me and my colleagues?
545
00:20:53,218 --> 00:20:55,754
When it could have attacked
my-my team?
546
00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:57,255
I will say this:
547
00:20:57,289 --> 00:20:59,991
it's not that she can't evolve
or be reformed.
548
00:21:00,025 --> 00:21:02,928
And so that's why
I won't shut up.
549
00:21:02,961 --> 00:21:05,197
because maybe she just needs
to be exposed
550
00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:07,132
that there is a whole other side
to this thing.
551
00:21:07,165 --> 00:21:08,700
It's called loving humanity.
552
00:21:08,734 --> 00:21:12,304
And she gave a response earlier
today saying that she regrets,
553
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:14,005
you know, some of the things
that she said because,
554
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:15,640
you know, she didn't--
she didn't realize
555
00:21:15,674 --> 00:21:18,343
that those things were--
you know, may not be true.
556
00:21:18,376 --> 00:21:20,846
This is the thing:
she called me a terrorist.
557
00:21:20,879 --> 00:21:22,781
She said I was the leader
of a terrorist mob.
558
00:21:22,814 --> 00:21:26,852
She said that I called, um--
I called, uh, on the, uh...
559
00:21:26,885 --> 00:21:29,988
the rape and the m-- the rape
and the burning of a home.
560
00:21:30,021 --> 00:21:31,523
And she called--
And I called, you know,
561
00:21:31,556 --> 00:21:33,925
-for the murder of a couple.
-Mm-hmm.
562
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:36,428
She didn't take that back.
She didn't regret that.
563
00:21:36,461 --> 00:21:39,364
That's the kind of stuff that's
dangerous for our communities.
564
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:41,466
And so that has
to be called out.
565
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:43,201
You haven't been afraid
to speak your mind
566
00:21:43,235 --> 00:21:44,803
about what you see
that is going wrong.
567
00:21:44,836 --> 00:21:46,772
And you-you have had
an interesting journey,
568
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:48,840
because you were an activist
569
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:51,376
marching from Ferguson,
you know?
570
00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:53,612
This was the pre-George Floyd,
you know,
571
00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:56,047
before it became
a nationwide movement,
572
00:21:56,081 --> 00:21:58,417
the way people saw in 2020.
573
00:21:58,450 --> 00:22:00,485
It's been interesting,
because some people will say
574
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:02,053
that the activists
on the streets
575
00:22:02,087 --> 00:22:03,789
are the reason
that we're seeing the changes.
576
00:22:03,822 --> 00:22:05,891
And now you are in Congress.
577
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:08,860
Where do you think
that more progress is made,
578
00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:11,029
in Congress or through
the activism in the streets?
579
00:22:11,063 --> 00:22:13,965
Should more activists be trying
to get into lawmaking?
580
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:17,369
Absolutely more activists should
be trying to get into lawmaking.
581
00:22:17,402 --> 00:22:18,703
But you need both.
582
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:20,639
I don't think you need to h--
There is-- It's--
583
00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:23,875
And, you know, um, if--
You got to have both.
584
00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:26,211
You can't just have one.
It's not either-or.
585
00:22:26,244 --> 00:22:29,147
The reason is you need the
activists that'll put pressure,
586
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:31,616
that'll do the work to make sure
that things are moving,
587
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:33,919
that'll keep the awareness
and the visibility.
588
00:22:33,952 --> 00:22:36,088
But then you need the person
that has the pen,
589
00:22:36,121 --> 00:22:38,256
you need the person
that has the power of the purse
590
00:22:38,290 --> 00:22:40,058
to be able
to bring those things home.
591
00:22:40,092 --> 00:22:42,494
That's what we were missing
when we were out there fighting
592
00:22:42,527 --> 00:22:43,895
for justice for Michael Brown.
593
00:22:43,929 --> 00:22:46,364
But now there is
a representative sitting here,
594
00:22:46,398 --> 00:22:48,800
and I'm hoping to be able
to pull in more.
595
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:50,235
But not just in Congress.
596
00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:52,838
We need 'em on the local levels
and on the state level.
597
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:54,840
You are the first Black woman
598
00:22:54,873 --> 00:22:56,775
to represent Missouri
in Congress.
599
00:22:56,808 --> 00:22:58,844
You overcame extreme odds.
600
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:01,446
I mean, you know,
living an unsheltered life.
601
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,915
You were unhomed.
You-You're a mother of two kids.
602
00:23:03,949 --> 00:23:07,519
And you-you've shared being
a survivor of sexual assault.
603
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:09,855
It is a story
that resonated with many,
604
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,356
and some of your constituents
have said,
605
00:23:11,389 --> 00:23:13,859
"I like her because I believe
that she'll fight for me
606
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:16,027
because she reminds me of me."
607
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:18,096
When you're now in Congress
608
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:21,767
and you are trying to,
I think, enact laws
609
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,237
that are-are specific to
your constituents in Missouri
610
00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:27,038
and then there's obviously
the laws that are gonna affect
611
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:29,040
the entire country,
how do you find that balance?
612
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:30,642
What are you looking to achieve?
613
00:23:30,675 --> 00:23:32,911
Every single moment,
I'm thinking about,
614
00:23:32,944 --> 00:23:36,448
what can we do to make sure that
we're doing the absolute most
615
00:23:36,481 --> 00:23:38,850
for everybody in our district
and around the country
616
00:23:38,884 --> 00:23:41,253
but starting with those
who have the very least?
617
00:23:41,286 --> 00:23:43,889
Because I've been someone
who's had the very least,
618
00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:45,557
and I understand how we--
619
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:49,094
how legislation happens
all around us and all above us
620
00:23:49,127 --> 00:23:51,830
but then it misses us.
So many of us.
621
00:23:51,863 --> 00:23:54,266
Trevor, I can remember
the days when I was hungry
622
00:23:54,299 --> 00:23:57,402
and I was-- I was able to feed
my kids but not myself.
623
00:23:57,436 --> 00:24:00,272
I remember being,
um, abused by, um--
624
00:24:00,305 --> 00:24:02,808
by a former partner
and not being able
625
00:24:02,841 --> 00:24:04,342
to have justice
in that situation.
626
00:24:04,376 --> 00:24:06,278
And so why would I not?
627
00:24:06,311 --> 00:24:08,847
If I'm okay with being
vulnerable for my people
628
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,450
so that they get change,
why would I not bring that
629
00:24:11,483 --> 00:24:14,586
to the forefront and use that
to help inform legislation
630
00:24:14,619 --> 00:24:16,988
and to help push my colleagues?
631
00:24:17,022 --> 00:24:19,057
Like, you may not know
what it was like to be hungry.
632
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:21,393
You may not know. These things
may not be your story.
633
00:24:21,426 --> 00:24:23,929
You may not know what it's like
to have your rape kit
634
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:26,598
sit on the shelf for four months
and still not get justice.
635
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:28,934
You may not understand that.
You may not understand
636
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:31,436
what it's like
to make $20,000 less a year
637
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:33,071
simply because you're
a Black woman,
638
00:24:33,105 --> 00:24:34,740
when the person next to you
is a white man
639
00:24:34,773 --> 00:24:37,142
doing the exact same work
but getting more money than you.
640
00:24:37,175 --> 00:24:38,410
You may not understand it,
641
00:24:38,443 --> 00:24:40,512
but I'm here to tell you
what that's like.
642
00:24:40,545 --> 00:24:43,115
Do you think that many of your
colleagues are out of touch?
643
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:45,550
I mean, one of the stories
that you shared,
644
00:24:45,584 --> 00:24:48,386
which was pretty insane,
was you got to the Capitol
645
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:50,655
and you were wearing
a-a Breonna Taylor mask
646
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:54,826
and some of your now colleagues
thought you were Breonna Taylor.
647
00:24:54,860 --> 00:24:56,528
I mean, that truly means
648
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,196
that there are some people
who are there just, like--
649
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:59,664
maybe they've been there
for a long time
650
00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:00,899
or maybe they're
completely disconnected.
651
00:25:00,932 --> 00:25:03,568
Do you feel like many of
the lawmakers are out of touch
652
00:25:03,602 --> 00:25:05,103
or some of them?
653
00:25:05,137 --> 00:25:06,805
Absolutely some of them
are out of touch.
654
00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:08,673
I won't say all.
But some of them are.
655
00:25:08,707 --> 00:25:09,975
But that's our work.
656
00:25:10,008 --> 00:25:11,276
'Cause-- Because the thing is,
657
00:25:11,309 --> 00:25:12,811
we all have something to bring.
658
00:25:12,844 --> 00:25:15,947
We all have a skill, a gift,
a talent, something to bring.
659
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:18,250
And so, for me,
I'm going to bring the struggle
660
00:25:18,283 --> 00:25:20,085
that Black folks and brown folks
661
00:25:20,118 --> 00:25:21,920
have been fighting
for such a long time.
662
00:25:21,953 --> 00:25:23,522
I'm bringing
all of this chocolate,
663
00:25:23,555 --> 00:25:25,524
all of this blackness,
every single struggle
664
00:25:25,557 --> 00:25:27,159
that I've had to the forefront
665
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:29,561
so that they understand
what has to change.
666
00:25:29,594 --> 00:25:31,530
And you're going to hear it
from your a--
667
00:25:31,563 --> 00:25:33,331
your own colleague. I'm not--
668
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:35,967
I-I don't care about a name,
a reputation, or a title.
669
00:25:36,001 --> 00:25:38,036
I don't care if you-- you know,
if you look at me like,
670
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:40,172
oh, I'm dirty
because I came from--
671
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:41,973
you know,
I came from being hungry.
672
00:25:42,007 --> 00:25:44,276
I came from, you know,
living on the street.
673
00:25:44,309 --> 00:25:45,577
I don't care!
674
00:25:45,610 --> 00:25:48,113
Give my people what we need.
675
00:25:48,146 --> 00:25:49,981
You've been very vocal
in talking
676
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:52,717
about what you think
Joe Biden needs to do.
677
00:25:52,751 --> 00:25:56,688
One of the issues has been
commuting, um, the sentences
678
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:58,924
of federal inmates
who are on death row.
679
00:25:58,957 --> 00:26:00,959
This has always been
a contentious issue in America.
680
00:26:00,992 --> 00:26:03,829
You know? Many have said, "Look,
we don't want the death penalty,
681
00:26:03,862 --> 00:26:05,697
we don't want death row,
etcetera."
682
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:07,132
But beyond the conversation...
I agree with you.
683
00:26:07,165 --> 00:26:09,134
I-I... I do not
support the death penalty.
684
00:26:09,167 --> 00:26:12,437
But I always would like to know,
from a lawmaker's point of view,
685
00:26:12,471 --> 00:26:15,006
how do you speak
to those families
686
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,708
who have been the victim
of some of these people
687
00:26:16,742 --> 00:26:18,210
who are on death row
and say to them,
688
00:26:18,243 --> 00:26:22,347
"Hey, here's why this person
shouldn't be on death row"?
689
00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:26,718
You know, I not only
empathize with those families.
690
00:26:26,752 --> 00:26:31,757
I sympathize with those families
as someone who lost a loved one,
691
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:35,761
a very, very close loved one,
to an execution-style murder.
692
00:26:35,794 --> 00:26:39,865
I absolutely stand
with those families.
693
00:26:39,898 --> 00:26:44,302
But we cannot continue this
cycle of violence and think
694
00:26:44,336 --> 00:26:46,872
that we will begin
to heal this country.
695
00:26:46,905 --> 00:26:49,307
We have to get out
of the mindset
696
00:26:49,341 --> 00:26:51,376
that that is a way
to get justice.
697
00:26:51,410 --> 00:26:53,512
There are other ways
to get justice.
698
00:26:53,545 --> 00:26:55,947
And one... some of those ways
is the work
699
00:26:55,981 --> 00:26:58,116
that we're doing
right now with legislation,
700
00:26:58,150 --> 00:26:59,918
saying that we have to make sure
701
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:02,354
that there are resources
in our communities,
702
00:27:02,387 --> 00:27:04,222
we have to make sure
that people have
703
00:27:04,256 --> 00:27:06,691
and communities have
the things that we need
704
00:27:06,725 --> 00:27:08,360
to be able to be whole.
705
00:27:08,393 --> 00:27:10,595
And so,
if we won't do that work,
706
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:13,765
when we...
when our work is to, um...
707
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:16,668
to build this carceral system,
when that's our work...
708
00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:18,103
When we're telling
our third graders
709
00:27:18,136 --> 00:27:20,639
that if you don't score
this particular number
710
00:27:20,672 --> 00:27:22,774
on this particular
proficiency test
711
00:27:22,808 --> 00:27:24,910
that, um that-that you may be...
712
00:27:24,943 --> 00:27:27,245
have a one in three chance
to end up in prison one day,
713
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,281
when we're telling that
to our third graders,
714
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:32,250
when that's the mindset
of America,
715
00:27:32,284 --> 00:27:35,020
then that's the problem
we have to deal with.
716
00:27:35,053 --> 00:27:37,222
We stand with our families,
and we do.
717
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:39,758
But we have
to change our thinking
718
00:27:39,791 --> 00:27:42,661
and do the real work to fix...
719
00:27:42,694 --> 00:27:45,297
-Um, you build people
to building families... -Mm-hmm.
720
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:46,732
...to build communities.
721
00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:50,102
Let's talk a little bit
about the COVID relief bill.
722
00:27:50,135 --> 00:27:52,237
$1.9 trillion.
723
00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:54,005
That's what Joe Biden
has come out with.
724
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:56,541
It is ambitious, because
America's in a desperate place
725
00:27:56,575 --> 00:27:58,677
where something ambitious needs
to be done.
726
00:27:58,710 --> 00:28:00,278
One of the sticking points
727
00:28:00,312 --> 00:28:04,416
in this bill has been
the $15 minimum wage.
728
00:28:04,449 --> 00:28:08,186
Some people have argued
that fighting
729
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:11,022
for a $15 minimum wage is going
to cost small businesses,
730
00:28:11,056 --> 00:28:14,826
in particular, the opportunity
to give people jobs.
731
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:16,361
What do you say
to the small business owners
732
00:28:16,394 --> 00:28:17,863
who are terrified of the idea
733
00:28:17,896 --> 00:28:20,699
of not being able
to afford to pay someone?
734
00:28:20,732 --> 00:28:22,768
And, also, how do you respond
to the worker who says,
735
00:28:22,801 --> 00:28:26,605
"Hey, I get $12 now,
and I still want my job.
736
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:29,174
I don't want to lose my job
because it's $15"?
737
00:28:29,207 --> 00:28:32,978
You know, in our district
locally, we had...
738
00:28:33,011 --> 00:28:35,380
we have had small-business
owners who decided
739
00:28:35,414 --> 00:28:38,350
to take a risk and go ahead
and switch to $15 an hour.
740
00:28:38,383 --> 00:28:40,619
-This was... this, um, started
a few years ago. -Mm-hmm.
741
00:28:40,652 --> 00:28:42,721
And they didn't know that
they would be able to do it.
742
00:28:42,754 --> 00:28:44,523
They didn't know
if they would survive.
743
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:46,358
And some of them said, "Well,
Cori, I was thinking maybe,
744
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:49,127
"you know, in a year
or two years that I would start
745
00:28:49,161 --> 00:28:50,695
to see some change,
that it would be rough."
746
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,697
But what actually happened was,
747
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:55,934
when they started paying
their staff $15 an hour,
748
00:28:55,967 --> 00:28:57,903
they saw... they saw an uptick.
749
00:28:57,936 --> 00:28:59,905
So then,
the productivity increased,
750
00:28:59,938 --> 00:29:01,440
and they started
making more money.
751
00:29:01,473 --> 00:29:03,275
They said that that was
the best thing for them.
752
00:29:03,308 --> 00:29:05,777
And not only that.
When we think about
753
00:29:05,811 --> 00:29:09,314
when you pay people
a living wage, 'cause I...
754
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:10,816
You know, I don't know
if you've ever worked for,
755
00:29:10,849 --> 00:29:13,685
but I've worked for $5.35
an hour,
756
00:29:13,718 --> 00:29:15,821
and after ten years,
I was making nine dollars
757
00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:18,757
at that job, so I understand.
I totally get it.
758
00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:22,461
The thing is,
when we push something else
759
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:24,429
that I've been pushing,
which is Medicare for all,
760
00:29:24,463 --> 00:29:27,232
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-...and we take away employers
761
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:29,434
for having to pay that part
of the health care,
762
00:29:29,468 --> 00:29:31,036
and then they can take that...
763
00:29:31,069 --> 00:29:33,371
So now, they can take the money
that they would have been paying
764
00:29:33,405 --> 00:29:36,708
into health care, and now
they can use that to pay more
765
00:29:36,742 --> 00:29:40,579
and to... and to increase
the benefits for their staff,
766
00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:42,314
that's how we look at it.
767
00:29:42,347 --> 00:29:45,517
But for our... for those...
for those, um, small businesses
768
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:47,652
that feel like
it's going to hurt their...
769
00:29:47,686 --> 00:29:49,221
-hurt their business...
-Right.
770
00:29:49,254 --> 00:29:51,723
that's when you call on us.
771
00:29:51,757 --> 00:29:53,625
Use your lawmakers in that way.
772
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:56,995
Let us put together those
programs to be able to help you
773
00:29:57,028 --> 00:30:00,599
because we cannot look at it
like we can't do this
774
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:03,735
because we don't want...
we think what may happen.
775
00:30:03,769 --> 00:30:05,203
Because you know what?
776
00:30:05,237 --> 00:30:07,038
There was a day when
people didn't wear seat belts.
777
00:30:07,072 --> 00:30:09,107
We were just driving, and then,
all of a sudden, somebody...
778
00:30:09,141 --> 00:30:11,410
We had to start
to wear seat belts.
779
00:30:11,443 --> 00:30:13,678
And people-people pushed back,
but now let's see...
780
00:30:13,712 --> 00:30:15,580
-We can see the benefit of it.
-Right.
781
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:17,048
There was a day
when you could smoke
782
00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:19,151
anywhere you wanted to smoke,
and people pushed back,
783
00:30:19,184 --> 00:30:21,086
but now they see the benefit.
784
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:24,689
So we have to, you know, look
at change being a good thing.
785
00:30:24,723 --> 00:30:26,825
Yeah, it really is about
perception sometimes.
786
00:30:26,858 --> 00:30:28,360
It's more about
how people perceive a thing
787
00:30:28,393 --> 00:30:29,761
than the thing itself.
788
00:30:29,795 --> 00:30:31,696
So, looking at that perception,
let's talk about
789
00:30:31,730 --> 00:30:33,598
one of the issues
that's gonna be coming up,
790
00:30:33,632 --> 00:30:35,867
and that is the $2,000 checks
791
00:30:35,901 --> 00:30:38,203
that people have been waiting
for and expecting.
792
00:30:38,236 --> 00:30:41,907
Now, there are two realities
that sort of exist right now.
793
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:44,810
Some people say
what happened was,
794
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:47,879
the Democrats fought
and argued that, yes,
795
00:30:47,913 --> 00:30:50,615
Americans should be getting
a $2,000 stimulus check,
796
00:30:50,649 --> 00:30:52,851
the same as Donald Trump
was saying at the time.
797
00:30:52,884 --> 00:30:54,653
Republicans said,
"No, it's too much money.
798
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:56,888
We care about the budget now,"
799
00:30:56,922 --> 00:30:59,191
which was hypocritical,
but fine.
800
00:30:59,224 --> 00:31:01,059
$600 was agreed upon.
801
00:31:01,093 --> 00:31:03,762
And now the Biden administration
has said
802
00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:06,498
$1,400 additional will be
added which makes up the $2,000.
803
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:08,233
There are many who are saying,
"No, no, no,
804
00:31:08,266 --> 00:31:09,701
"you promised us $2,000.
805
00:31:09,735 --> 00:31:11,803
We want the $2,000 check."
806
00:31:11,837 --> 00:31:13,472
This is going to be
a sticky conversation,
807
00:31:13,505 --> 00:31:15,440
which, as you know better
than anyone,
808
00:31:15,474 --> 00:31:18,777
can be used in a... in
a conversation about perception.
809
00:31:18,810 --> 00:31:19,911
So my question to you is,
810
00:31:19,945 --> 00:31:21,613
what do you think
needs to be done,
811
00:31:21,646 --> 00:31:23,915
and where do you stand
as a lawmaker?
812
00:31:23,949 --> 00:31:28,253
You know, I'm all for the $2,000
straight out, you know.
813
00:31:28,286 --> 00:31:31,089
Not a $600 and a 14.
814
00:31:31,123 --> 00:31:33,191
You know,
I have been advocating,
815
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:36,061
along with several
of my colleagues,
816
00:31:36,094 --> 00:31:40,298
for $2,000 per month, you know,
that's retroactive,
817
00:31:40,332 --> 00:31:43,368
back to when
this pandemic started.
818
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:45,470
And we want to keep it until...
819
00:31:45,504 --> 00:31:47,539
um, through the course
of this pandemic
820
00:31:47,572 --> 00:31:49,808
so that people can
get on their feet and start...
821
00:31:49,841 --> 00:31:51,743
and have some stability
and sustain.
822
00:31:51,777 --> 00:31:53,478
That's what this is about.
823
00:31:53,512 --> 00:31:55,447
So we're pushing
for monthly checks,
824
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,149
-and that check has
to be $2,000. -Oh.
825
00:31:57,182 --> 00:31:59,084
Obviously, a lot of your
colleagues are going to say,
826
00:31:59,117 --> 00:32:01,420
"But Cori, where
does that money come from?"
827
00:32:02,421 --> 00:32:06,625
Look, if we can find money
for a wall,
828
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:09,461
if we can find money
for so many other things...
829
00:32:09,494 --> 00:32:11,396
Look, we have Space Force now.
830
00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:13,832
Don't tell me
we cannot make sure
831
00:32:13,865 --> 00:32:18,804
that the people
in our communities can eat.
832
00:32:18,837 --> 00:32:20,472
We're talking
about people eating.
833
00:32:20,505 --> 00:32:23,208
We're talking about children
having diapers and milk.
834
00:32:23,241 --> 00:32:26,278
We're talking about people
being able to keep lights on,
835
00:32:26,311 --> 00:32:27,946
to have heat if they need it,
836
00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:30,482
or-or to be able
to have cool air if it's hot.
837
00:32:30,515 --> 00:32:31,683
That's what we're talking about.
838
00:32:31,716 --> 00:32:34,086
We're talking
about saving lives.
839
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:37,889
And there is no price
to that saving lives.
840
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:39,458
One, period.
841
00:32:39,491 --> 00:32:42,027
But then, also,
when we can build a wall?
842
00:32:42,060 --> 00:32:43,862
(Noah laughs)
843
00:32:43,895 --> 00:32:46,231
Congresswoman Cori Bush,
I could talk to you forever,
844
00:32:46,264 --> 00:32:47,532
but I know you've got business
to get to.
845
00:32:47,566 --> 00:32:49,134
Thank you so much
for taking the time
846
00:32:49,167 --> 00:32:50,469
and thank you
for joining us on the show.
847
00:32:50,502 --> 00:32:52,104
Thank you for having me.
848
00:32:52,137 --> 00:32:53,305
Thank you so much again
849
00:32:53,338 --> 00:32:54,539
to Representative Bush
for joining us.
850
00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:55,707
We're gonna take a quick break,
851
00:32:55,741 --> 00:32:55,807
but we'll be right back
after this.
852
00:32:58,475 --> 00:32:59,709
Well that's our show
for tonight.
853
00:32:59,743 --> 00:33:01,444
But before we go,
this Black History Month,
854
00:33:01,478 --> 00:33:03,880
please consider supporting
Dreaming Out Loud.
855
00:33:03,914 --> 00:33:06,416
They're an organization
that's increasing access
856
00:33:06,449 --> 00:33:08,585
to healthy food
in marginalized communities,
857
00:33:08,618 --> 00:33:10,954
and building
a sustainable food system
858
00:33:10,987 --> 00:33:14,291
that employs and works
for people of all backgrounds.
859
00:33:14,324 --> 00:33:16,092
If you'd like
to support their cause,

861
00:33:18,428 --> 00:33:20,664
Until next week,
stay safe out there,
862
00:33:20,697 --> 00:33:22,966
wear a mask, and remember:
863
00:33:22,999 --> 00:33:26,870
if you ever get in trouble,
Facebook made you do it.
864
00:33:26,903 --> 00:33:29,873
Now, here it is--
Your Moment of Zen.
865
00:33:29,906 --> 00:33:32,976
-? ? -ANNOUNCER: In a dimension
between left and right,
866
00:33:33,009 --> 00:33:35,579
between space lasers
and birtherism,
867
00:33:35,612 --> 00:33:39,282
lies a dimension
of the imagination.
868
00:33:39,316 --> 00:33:42,486
It's an area we call
"The Marjorie Zone."
869
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:46,389
He does. He's fantastic!
This guy right here is great!

Standing up in there
in the mucky swamp.
