Trevor: HEY, WHAT’S GOING
ON, EVERYBODY?
I’M TREVOR NOAH, AND THIS IS
"THE DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING
SHOW."
TODAY IS MARCH 3rd, WHICH MEANS
IT’S STILL THE FIRST WEEK OF
WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH!
IT’S A GREAT TIME TO CELEBRATE
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF WOMEN, AND
ALSO A VERY TRAUMATIC MONTH FOR
GLASS CEILINGS, WHO HAVE TO
RE-LIVE ALL THE TIMES THEY’VE
BEEN SHATTERED.
SO, PLEASE, IF YOU SEE A GLASS
CEILING SOMEWHERE, PLEASE GIVE
THEM A HUG.
ANYWAY, ON TONIGHT’S SHOW:
A LOOK AT THE DEBATE TO RAISE
THE MINIMUM WAGE, WE DISCOVER
THE BEST NEW STREAMING SERVICE,
AND TEXAS IS OPEN FOR CORONA!
I MEAN BUSINESS.
OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
SO LET’S DO THIS, PEOPLE!
WELCOME TO "THE DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW."
Announcer: 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 PANDEMIC,
WHICH AT THIS POINT IS A LOT
LIKE "GREY’S ANATOMY": A LOT OF
PEOPLE THINK OVER WHEN IT’S
STILL VERY MUCH WITH US.
AFTER DROPPING FOR TWO WEEKS,
NEW INFECTIONS ARE TICKING UP
AGAIN, AND IT’S A REAL RACE TO SEE WHETHER THE VACCINES WILL
TAKE HOLD BEFORE THE NEW
VARIANTS TAKE US OUT, WHICH IS
WHY EVEN AS WE ENTER THE HOME
STRETCH, IT’S IMPORTANT TO MASK
UP AND KEEP OUT OF CROWDS AND
NOT TO DO WHATEVER THIS IS.
THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN
THIS MORNING THAT SOME STATES
ARE RUSHING TO OPEN TOO SOON.
DEFYING THE C.D.C., THE
GOVERNORS IN TEXAS AND
MISSISSIPPI DECLARING THEY’RE
BACK IN BUSINESS, ELIMINATING
MASK MANDATES AND ALLOWING ALL
RETAILERS TO OPEN AT 100%
CAPACITY.
STATES LIKE MASSACHUSETTS,
PENNSYLVANIA, AND KENTUCKY ALSO
EASING RESTRICTIONS, ALLOWING
LARGER CROWDS IN SMALLER VENUES.
RESTAURANTS, HIGH SCHOOL PROMS,
EVEN LAS VEGAS POOL PARTIES ARE
SET TO REOPEN WITH FEWER
MANDATES.
WEDDING RECEPTIONS, NOW THEY
CAN RETURN TO NEW YORK IN JUST A
FEW WEEKS, BUT THERE’S GOING TO
BE SOME RULES AS TO HOW YOU HIT
THE DANCE FLOOR.
NEW YORK STATE PROMISING TO
ENFORCE DANCE ZONES WHEN WEDDING
RECEPTIONS RESUME ON MARCH 15.
UNDER THE RULES, EACH DANCE ZONE
IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MINIMUM OF
36 SQUARE FEET.
GUESTS CAN SHARE A DANCE ZONE
ONLY WITH OTHER PEOPLE FROM
THEIR TABLE AND MEMBERS OF THEIR
HOUSEHOLD OR FAMILY.
Trevor: HOLD UP, HOLD UP,
HOLD UP.
SO IF YOU GO TO A WEDDING IN NEW
YORK, YOU CAN ONLY DANCE WITH
YOUR OWN FAMILY IN YOUR OWN
"DANCE ZONE?"
THAT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! AND I WOULD HATE TO BE THE
WEDDING D.J. WHO HAS TO ENFORCE
THAT RULE AND TRY TO KEEP THINGS
FUN.
"AWRIGHT, TAKE IT BACK NOW,
YA’LL.
SLIDE TO THE RIGHT.
( ANGRY )
TOO FAR!
SLIDE TO THE LEFT, OR I’LL LIGHT
YOUR ASS UP!
STAY IN YOUR ZONE!
SO THIS IS A WEIRD RULE, BUT
STILL, IT’S GOOD TO KNOW THAT
GOVERNOR CUOMO HAS FINALLY
LEARNED THE IMPORTANCE OF
SOCIAL DISTANCING AT WEDDINGS.
BUT HERE’S THE REAL QUESTION FOR
ME: WHY ARE THINGS REOPENING ALL
OF A SUDDEN?
CORONA IS NOT OVER YET!
TEXAS IS STILL GETTING OVER
7,000 NEW CASES A DAY, BUT
THEIR GOVERNOR GOT VACCINATED
AND NOW HE’S LIKE,
"GET THOSE CLUBS BACK OPEN.
I’MMA GET LIT!"
AND I CAN EVEN UNDERSTAND
WANTING TO OPEN BUSINESSES BACK
UP BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY, BUT
PEOPLE, LIFTING MASK MANDATES MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.
NO SENSE.
LIKE. I’M AS SICK OF CORONA AS
ANYBODY, BUT THIS IS NOT THE
TIME TO EASE UP ON MASKING.
WE’RE SO CLOSE TO THE END OF THE
PANDEMIC, WHY ARE THESE
GOVERNORS LETTING THEIR GUARD
DOWN?
WHAT A GREAT STORY ABOUT A
TORTOISE WHO TOOK A REFRESHING
NAP.
BUT LET’S MOVE ON TO THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
DONALD J. TRUMP.
OH, I’M SORRY.
YOU THINK JOE BIDEN WAS
INAUGURATED IN JANUARY, SHEEPLE?
WELL, MAYBE YOU’VE BEEN READING
THE WRONG INTERNET MESSAGE
BOARDS.
AND YOU’RE GOING TO FIND OUT THE
TRUTH TOMORROW!
THE F.B.I. IS WARNING OF
EXTREMIST CHATTER, AND
SPECIFICALLY THAT THERE COULD
BE ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE U.S.
CAPITOL TOMORROW.
QANON FOLLOWERS ARE AT IT
AGAIN.
THEY HAVE GRASPED ON TO ANOTHER
IMPOSSIBLE THEORY.
TRUMP WILL TAKE OFFICE AS THE
19th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES ON MARCH 4,
THEY BELIEVE IN AN OLD
INAUGURATION DATE IN PLACE
BEFORE THE PASSAGE OF THE 20th
AMENDMENT.
IT CHANGED FROM MARCH 4 TO
JANUARY 20 ONLY IN 1933.
THE TRUMP HOTEL HAS NEARLY
TRIPLED ITS RATES, WITH ROOMS
NOW GOING FOR ABOUT $1,300 AO3
NIGHT BOTH TODAY AND FOR
TOMORROW.
Trevor: OH, MAN, WHAT A
GRIFT.
HONESTLY, I DON’T EVEN BLAME
TRUMP.
IF I WAS HIM, I WOULD MILK THE
SHIT OUT OF THIS THING.
I’D BE CHARGING MY GUESTS FOR
SHIT THEY DIDN’T EVEN BUY.
( HOTEL GUEST )
"WAIT A MINUTE, I NEVER BOUGHT A
TOBLERONE."
( TRUMP )
"I GUESS THE DEMS STOLE THAT,
TOO.
I FEEL YOUR PAIN."
AND THESE QANON PEOPLE HAVE NO
ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES AT
THIS POINT.
I MEAN, THEY’VE BEEN PROVEN
WRONG TIME AND TIME AGAIN, BUT
THEY JUST KEEP MOVING TRUMP’S
"INAUGURATION DAY" A LITTLE
FURTHER BACK.
AND IN A WAY, I UNDERSTAND: THE
DEEPER YOU FALL INTO SOMETHING,
THE LESS YOU WANT TO ADMIT YOU
WERE DUPED, WHICH MAKES YOU EVEN
MORE DESPERATE TO KEEP THE
FANTASY GOING.
I MEAN, THAT’S WHY I’M SURE THE
NEXT KANYE ALBUM IS GOING TO BE
GREAT AGAIN.
IT HAS TO BE.
IN THE MEANTIME, THOUGH, IT
LOOKS LIKE WASHINGTON WILL HAVE
TO PREPARE FOR MORE RIOTS.
I MEAN, THEY MIGHT JUST END UP
BECOMING PART OF THE D.C.
EXPERIENCE.
"YOU GUYS JUST MISSED THE 2:00
INSURRECTION, BUT STICK AROUND,
BUT THE 4:30 P.M. WILL BE
STARTING SHORTLY SO STICK
AROUND.
AND JUST REMEMBER, DO NOT FEED
UPON CAPITOL RIOTERS, OKAY."
AND, FINALLY, AMAZON: THE ONLY
PLACE YOU CAN GET A MONTHLY
SUBSCRIPTION OF REFRIGERATORS.
WE ALL USE AMAZON EVERY DAY,
I MEAN, EXCEPT ME.
I ONLY SHOP AT MY LOCAL
INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE, SO
IMPORTANT.
BUT PEOPLE WHO DO USE AMAZON
MIGHT HAVE NOTICED SOMETHING A
LITTLE DIFFERENT THE LAST TIME
THEY WENT ON OPEN THE APP ON
THEIR PHONE.
AMAZON HAS CHANGED ITS NEW
APP LOGO AFTER CRITICS CLAIMED
IT RESEMBLED HITLER’S FACIAL
FEATURES.
AT ISSUE WAS THE BLUE TAPE ABOVE
THE SMILING ARROW.
CRITICS SAID THE ICON LOOKED
LIKE HITLER’S MUSTACHE.
THE COMPANY HAS NOW TWEAKED THE
IMAGE SO THE TAPE IS FOLDED, NOT
RIGID.
Trevor: WOW, FIRST DR. SEUSS,
AND NOW ADOLF HITLER.
CANCEL CULTURE IS GETTING OUT OF
CONTROL.
COME ON, PEOPLE!
THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY AN INNOCENT
MISTAKE.
YOU SHOULD GIVE AMAZON’S GRAPHIC
DESIGNER A BREAK, BECAUSE HE’S
PROBABLY NOT ALLOWED ONE ON HIS
SHIFT.
AND TO BE FAIR TO AMAZON,
EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE HITLER.
I MEAN, THERE ARE CATS THAT LOOK
LIKE HITLER, FISH THAT LOOK LIKE
HITLER, HOUSES THAT LOOK LIKE
HITLER.
THERE WAS THIS SUPER OLD GUY I
MET IN ARGENTINA LAST YEAR WHO
LOOKED A LOT LIKE HITLER...
OH, WAIT A SECOND-- IF WE’RE
GOING TO GO AFTER APP LOGOS THAT
MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW
WHO WE SHOULD BE GOING AFTER?
INSTAGRAM.
EVERYTIME I TAP IT, I FEEL LIKE
I’M STICKING MY FINGER IN A
ROBOT’S BUTTHOLE.
TELL ME YOU NEVER NOTICED THAT!
TELL ME YOU NEVER NOTICED THE
SAME THING!
BUT LET’S MOVE ON TO OUR MAIN
STORY.
ONE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN’S TOP
PRIORITIES IN HIS FIRST MONTH IN
OFFICE HAS BEEN PASSING A
CORONAVIRUS RELIEF BILL, WHICH
MAKES SENSE.
I MEAN, PEOPLE SPENT AN ENTIRE
YEAR HAVING TO SMELL THEIR OWN
BREATHS.
THE LEAST THEY CAN GET IN RETURN
IS SOME COMPENSATION.
UNFORTUNATELY, THOUGH, TO
ACTUALLY GET THE BILL PASSED, HE
NEEDS THE SUPPORT OF THE UNITED
STATES SENATE, AND THEY’RE ABOUT
AS SUPPORTIVE AS A YOUTUBE
COMMENTS SECTION.
JUST TODAY, BIDEN ANNOUNCED A
NEW INCOME LIMIT ON WHO WILL BE
GETTING THOSE $1,400 CHECKS,
BECAUSE MODERATE DEMOCRATS
OBJECTED TO THE COST OF THE
BILL.
AND THAT’S AFTER ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR PIECES OF THE BILL HAS
ALREADY BEEN STRIPPED OUT.
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S BID TO
DOUBLE THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE
APPARENTLY WILL NOT BE PART OF
HIS COVID RELIEF PACKAGE.
DEMOCRATS PLANNED TO PASS THE
PRESIDENT’S PLAN THROUGH A
BUDGET PROCESS CALLED
RECONCILIATION.
THAT ALLOWS DEMOCRATS TO PASS A
BIG PACKAGE IN THE SENATE WITH A
SIMPLE MAJORITY, BUT THE
TRADEOFF IS THAT THE BILL CAN
ONLY INVOLVE TAXING AND
SPENDING.
THE NONPARTISAN SENATE
PARLIAMENTARIAN, ELIZABETH
MacDONOUGH, DECIDED THE MINIMUM
WAGE PROVISION DIDN’T MEET THAT
STANDARD.
THAT MEANS IT IS GOING TO BE
IMPOSSIBLE FOR SENATORS, THE
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS HERE TO PASS
THAT BILL THROUGH THE SENATE,
BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAINLY NOT
THE 60 VOTES NECESSARY TO DO IT
AS PART OF THAT PACKAGE.
Trevor: DAMN, WHO KNEW
ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING COULD BE
SO COMPLICATED.
BUT, YEAH, APPARENTLY, THANKS TO
THE RULES OF THE SENATE AND THE
RULING OF THE SENATE
PARLIAMENTARIAN, THE STIMULUS
BILL CAN NO LONGER CONTAIN A
RAISE IN THE MINIMUM WAGE.
AND IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT A
SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN EVEN IS,
WELL, THEY’RE BASICALLY THE
LOSER WHO ACTUALLY READS ALL THE
MONOPOLY DIRECTIONS BEFORE THE
GAME STARTS.
AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY CAN
BLOCK THE LEGISLATION.
IT’S JUST KIND OF WEIRD THAT
AMERICA GOES THROUGH THIS WHOLE
ELECTION, THIS FOUR-YEAR LONG
PROCESS-- "WHO IS IT GOING TO
BE?
WE’RE DEBATING.
IT’S A CONTEST TO CHOOSE
EVERYONE WHO MAKES THE LAWS."
AND THEN THERE’S THIS ONE
UNELECTED PERSON WHO CAN
OVERRULE THEM ALL.
I DON’T REMEMBER ABRAHAM LINCOLN
SAYING, "THIS IS A GOVERNMENT OF
THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND
FOR THE PEOPLE... AS LONG AS
IT’S COOL WITH LIZ."
YES, LIZ."
SO WHY IS THERE SUCH A BITTER
FIGHT OVER THE FEDERAL MINIMUM
WAGE?
WELL, YOU’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT
IN OUR BRAND-NEW SEGMENT, "LET’S
GET FISCAL."
♪ ♪ ♪
A FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE IS NOT A
NEW IDEA IN THE UNITED STATES.
IN FACT, AMERICA HAS HAD ONE
SINCE 1938, WHEN ALL WORKERS
WERE GUARANTEED 25 CENTS AN
HOUR.
IT WAS A GUARANTEE THAT NO
MATTER HOW MENIAL A JOB YOU HAD,
YOU COULD ALWAYS AFFORD TO PLAY
A ROUND OF "STREET FIGHTER 2."
THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE A LOT
HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN, THE
MINIMUM WAGE HASN’T CHANGED AS
MUCH AS YOU MIGHT THINK.
THIS IS A CHART OF THE
MINIMUM WAGE IN THE UNITED
STATES OVER THE PAST 60 YEARS.
YOU CAN SEE HOW IT’S GONE UP AND
UP AND UP FROM FROM $1 AN HOUR
IN 1960 TO $7.25 TODAY.
IF YOU TAKE THE SAME LINE BUT
ADJUST IT FOR INFLATION, YOU’LL
SEE THE PROBLEM.
EVERY TIME THE MINIMUM WAGE HAS
BEEN RAISED, INFLATION HAS
DRAGGED IT RIGHT BACK DOWN.
REALLY, AMERICA’S MINIMUM WAGE
HASN’T GONE UP.
IT’S ESSENTIALLY STAYED THE SAME
SINCE THE 80s
THE CURRENT FEDERAL MINIMUM
WAGE HASN’T MOVED SINCE 2009.
ITS THE LONGEST TIME THE
COUNTRY HAS GONE WITHOUT RAISING
THE MINIMUM WAGE.
LOOK AT THIS.
TO FEED A FAMILY OF FOUR FOR A
WEEK IN 2009, YOU’D HAVE TO WORK
17 HOURS ON MINIMUM AGE.
NOW IT’S 20 HOURS.
TO PAY YOUR MONTHLY RENT, 116
HOURS BACK IN ’09, 151 HOURS IN
2019.
AND TO PAY A YEAR OF MEDICAL
BILLS, YOU’D HAVE TO WORK 285
MORE HOURS IN 2019 THAN YOU HAD
TO WORK IN 2009.
Trevor: YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT,
THE MINIMUM WAGE HASN’T BEEN
RAISED SINCE 2009.
AND WHEN YOU ACCOUNT FOR
INFLATION, IT ACTUALLY HASN’T
GONE UP SINCE THE 1980s.
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THAT.
THE LAST TIME THE MINIMUM
WAGE HAD REALLY BEEN RAISED,
WE WERE ALL OUT ON THE STREETS
DOING PANTSULA!
I MEAN, THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE
DOING IN SOUTH AFRICA.
THE 80s DIDN’T JUST HAPPEN IN
AMERICA, YOU KNOW.
AND WHILE THE MINIMUM WAGE HAS
REMAINED STAGNANT, THE PRICES OF
EVERYTHING FROM RENT TO HEALTH
CARE HAVE GONE WAY UP.
SO IF WORKING A MINIMUM-WAGE JOB
IN 1989 COULD PAY FOR A HEART
TRANSPLANT, NOW ALL YOU CAN
AFFORD IS HAVING ONE OF THOSE
CANDY HEARTS TAPED TO YOUR
CHEST.
AND EVEN THEN, YOU HAVE TO BUY
IT ON CREDIT.
NOW, RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE IS
AN EXTREMELY POPULAR IDEA, AND
59% OF AMERICANS THINK IT SHOULD
BE AT LEAST $15 AN HOUR.
BUT IN CONSERVATIVE CIRCLES, A
LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT SOME
WORKERS SIMPLY DON’T NEED ANY
MORE MONEY.
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT WHO’S
STARVING AND WHO’S NOT.
IT’S ABOUT-- THE MINIMUM WAGE IS
DESIGNED AS A FIRST RUNG ON THE
LADDER TO GET PEOPLE IN THE
WORKPLACE AND THEN UP.
IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR
SOMEONE TO FEED A FAMILY ON.
IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO BE A
40-HOUR-A-WEEK WAGE.
MY NEPHEW HERE IN CLEVELAND,
OHIO, RIGHT NOW, HE IS WORKING
AN $8- OR $10-AN-HOUR
LANDSCAPING JOB FOR THE SUMMER. THAT IS NOT A LIVING WAGE, BUT
IT SHOULDN’T BE.
IT SHOULD-- IT SHOULD MOTIVATE
HIM TO KEEP GOING AFTER
SOMETHING MORE.
MY GRANDSON WORKS AT
McDONALD’S FOR MINIMUM WAGE IN
ARIZONA.
HE DOESN’T NEED TO MAKE $15 AN
HOUR.
THE WAGE IN PLACE FOR
ENTRY-LEVEL EMPLOYEES IS SO
THAT THEY CAN GET A JOB.
IF YOU ARE SUPPORTING A
FAMILY OF FOUR, YOU DEFINITELY
SHOULDN’T BE WORKING A MINIMUM
WAGE JOB.
Trevor: HERE’S THE THING:
OPPONENTS OF A MINIMUM WAGE
INCREASES CAN PRETEND THAT THE
ONLY PEOPLE WORKING THESE JOBS
ARE 16-YEAR-OLDS JUST TRYING TO
SAVE UP FOR A BAG OF WEED THAT’S
ACTUALLY OREGANO.
BUT THE TRUTH IS HALF OF THE
PEOPLE WHO’D BENEFIT FROM A
MINIMUM-WAGE INCREASE ARE
BETWEEN THE AGES OF 25 AND 54,
AND OVER A QUARTER OF THEM HAVE
CHILDREN.
I MEAN, IT WOULD BE NICE IF ONLY
TEENAGERS HAD TO WORK THESE
JOBS, JUST LIKE IT WOULD NICE IF
TEENAGERS WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO
RAN AWAY FROM HOME WHEN LIFE GOT
TOO TOUGH, BUT THAT’S JUST NOT
REALITY.
AND YOU’D THINK THIS WOULD BE
EASY FOR POLITICIANS TO
UNDERSTAND.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS A LOT OF THEM
JUST AREN’T LOOKING AT THE DATA.
INSTEAD, THEY’RE REMINISCING
ABOUT HOW THINGS WERE WHEN THEY
LAST WORKED A MINIMUM-WAGE JOB.
GROWING UP IN A SMALL TOWN, I
WORKED FOR LESS THAN THE MINIMUM
WAGE.
I STARTED BUSING TABLES AT
$1 AN HOUR.
I WENT UP TO 2.25 WHEN THEY
MOVED ME UP IN THE PLACE, AND
THEN I FINALLY MADE IT TO COOK,
WHICH WAS BIG TIME.
THAT WAS 6 BUCKS AN HOUR.
MY FIRST JOB WAS ALSO WORKING
FOR MINIMUM WAGE, AT A CELL
BARN, $1.60 AN HOUR, IN 1976.
THAT’S RIGHT, I WAS SCOOPING COW
MANURE FOR $1.60 AN HOUR.
BUT WITHIN A MONTH’S TIME, I’D
WORKED MYSELF UP.
I GOT A DIME RAISE.
I WORKED WITH ABOUT 15 OTHER
HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATES THROUGH
HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR COLLEGE.
IT HELPED ME NOT HAVE ANY DEBT
WHEN I FINISHED COLLEGE, AS
WELL.
Trevor:
( SENATOR )
"YEAH, I USED TO WORK MINIMUM
WAGE SHOVELING SHIT, AND NOW
LOOK AT ME: I GET A SENATOR’S
SALARY FOR SHOVELING SHIT!"
THE IRONY IS THAT, WITHOUT
REALIZING IT, THESE GUYS ARE
MAKING A GREAT CASE FOR RAISING
THE MINIMUM WAGE.
IF THE MINIMUM WAGE THESE
SENATORS EARNED BACK IN THE DAY
HAD KEPT PACE WITH INFLATION, IT
WOULD BE WAY HIGHER THAN THE
$7.25 THAT IT IS NOW.
AND IT’S GREAT THAT SENATOR
MARSHALL LEFT COLLEGE DEBT FREE,
THANKS TO HIS COW-POOP SIDE
HUSTLE, BUT THAT’S BECAUSE
BACK WHEN HE GRADUATED, HIS
COLLEGE COST $900 A YEAR.
THAT’S WHAT THESE OLD DUDES
DON’T REALIZE: WHEN THEY TELL
THESE STORIES ABOUT "I HAD TO
WALK 10 MILES FROM MY HOUSE,"
ALL YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY THINK IS,
"GOD DAMN, YOU COULD AFFORD A
HOUSE?
MAN, THAT’S BALLING."
SO DESPITE HOW SOME PEOPLE THINK
OF THE MINIMUM WAGE, MANY ADULTS
DO NEED TO LIVE ON IT, WHICH IS
NOT TO SAY THAT RAISING IT IS A
MAGIC BULLET BECAUSE IT DOES
HAVE SOME DOWNSIZE.
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
FINDS RAISING THE FEDERAL
MINIMUM WAGE WOULD PULL 900,000
PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY AND GIVE
ABOUT 27 MILLION WORKERS A
RAISE, 27 MILLION.
BUT IT COMES AT A COST.
THE C.B.O. SAYS THAT INCREASE
WOULD COST 1.4 MILLION JOBS AND
RAISE THE FEDERAL DEFICIT BY $54
BILLION, OVER A DECADE. SO,
THERE’S A TRADE-OFF HERE.
Trevor: THAT’S RIGHT, IF THE
C.B.O. PROJECTIONS ARE CORRECT,
THEN RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE TO
$15 AN HOUR WOULD HELP MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE, BUT IT WOULD ALSO
MEAN FEWER JOBS OVERALL.
SO YOU CAN’T IGNORE THAT THERE
MAY BE SOME TRADE-OFFS HERE, BUT
THEN AGAIN, THAT’S THE CASE WITH
ALL POLICIES.
I MEAN, IF YOU BAN ASSAULT
RIFLES, IT’LL SAVE LIVES, BUT
THEN DON JR. WOULD HAVE NOTHING
TO POSE WITH TO LET PEOPLE KNOW
HOW BIG HIS PENIS IS.
SO, LOOK, THERE IS NUANCE THERE.
BUT IF YOU ASK ME, IF A JOB
CAN’T EXIST UNLESS IT PAYS
UNSUSTAINABLE WAGES, THEN MAYBE
THAT JOB SHOULDN’T EXIST.
LIKE, MAYBE AMERICA SHOULD FIND
ANOTHER WAY TO HELP THE PEOPLE
LOSING THOSE JOBS, OR THE
BUSINESSES WHO NEED THOSE JOBS.
BUT AMERICA NEEDS TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THE MINIMUM
WAGE, BECAUSE THE SOLUTION CAN’T
BE MAINTAINING THE CURRENT
SITUATION WHERE YOU WORK FULL
TIME AND STILL CAN’T MAKE ENDS
MEET.
I MEAN, IF THAT’S ALLOWED TO
CONTINUE, AMERICA WILL BE IN
SUCH DEEP SHIT, THAT EVEN A
SENATOR COULDN’T SHOVEL OUT OF
IT.
ALL RIGHT, WHEN WE COME BACK,

Trevor: ALL RIGHT, WHEN WE
COME BACK, KELLIE MARIE TRAN
TALKS TO ME ABOUT HER JOURNEY TO
Trevor: WELCOME BACK TO "THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW."
EARLIER TODAY, I SPOKE WITH
ACTOR KELLY MARIE TRAN.
WE TALKED ABOUT GOING FROM "STAR
WARS" TO PORTRAYING DISNEY’S
FIRST SOUTHEAST ASIAN PRINCESS
IN "RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON."
KELLIE MARIE TRAN, WELCOME TO
"THE DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING
SHOW."
( LAUGHS )
OH, MY GOSH!
I’M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.
Trevor: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE, WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT, LIKE, THE JOURNEY
THAT YOU HAD HAD, YOU KNOW,
BEING PART OF "STAR WARS" BEING
THE FACE OF WHAT MANY FELT LIKE
WAS BULLYING ONLINE.
WESINCE THEN YOUR LIFE SEEMS TO
REALLY PEACHY.
BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT MAKING A
NEW DISNEY MOVIE, I WANT TO KNOW
AS ONE OF THE FEW WHO IS DOING
IT.
WHAT IS THE WORLD WHEN THERE IS
NO SOCIAL MEDIA?
IT’S AMAZING.
I MEAN, OKAY, I WILL SAY THIS: I
DO HAVE, LIKE, A LURKER ACCOUNT
BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S
GOING ON IN THE NEWS.
BUT NOT HAVING TO CONSTANTLY BE
SORT OF PUBLICLY ON IT IS THE
BEST THING I’VE EVER DONE FOR MY
MENTAL HEALTH, I WILL SAY THAT,
YEAH.
Trevor: SO YOU’RE SAYING
YOU DON’T WAKE UP EVERY DAY WITH
PEOPLE JUST TELLING YOU THAT
THEY HATE YOU.
THIS IS NOT A THING THAT YOU DO.
DO
( LAUGHS )
NO, NO, THAT’S NOT A THING
THAT I DO.
Trevor: WOW.
NO.
Trevor: I DON’T KNOW WHAT
THAT’S LIKE.
I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND I
CHECK AND I’M LIKE, "YUP,
THEY’RE STLIL."
AND THEN I START MY DAY.
WELL, NOW I FEEL LIKE I’M
GOING TO USE MY LURKER ACCOUNT
JUST TO BE LIKE, "WE LOVE YOU!
WE LOVE YOU."
Trevor: NO, DON’T DO THAT.
I LIKE THE HATERS.
I GO AT LEAST THEY SEE ME.
THEY SEE ME.
YOU’VE HAD AN AMAZING JOURNEY.
I MEAN, NOT BEING-- IT’S NOT
JUST ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE,
BUT IT’S GOING TO BE LIKE, WHAT,
FOUR DISNEY MOVIES?
YOU’RE JUST LIKE THE DISNEY
DARLING RIGHT NOW, IT FEELS
LIKE.
THE MOVIE IS "RAYA AND THE LAST
DRAGON."
TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
STORY.
I WATCHED IT ALL, BUT I DON’T
WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR
PEOPLE.
SO IT IS ABOUT A YOUNG GIRL
NAMED RAYA WHO IS TECHNICALLY A
PRINCESS, BUT I THINK WHAT’S
REALLY COOL ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS
THAT WE’RE REALLY SORT OF
FLIPPING THE NARRATIVE ON WHAT A
PRINCESS IS.
SHE’S ACTUALLY REALLY A WARRIOR.
AND SHE COMES INTO THE WORLD AND
SORT OF HAS THIS REALLY
IDEALISTIC WAY OF VIEWING THE
WORLD, AND THEN THE WORLD BREAKS
APART.
AND THEM SHE STARTS REALLY
DISTRUSTING ANYONE.
THE WHOLE MOVIE IS SORT OF HER
JOURNEY ON FIGURING OUT HOW TO
FIND THE GOOD IN THE WORLD AGAIN
AND FIGURING OUT HOW TO TRUST
PEOPLE AGAIN.
Trevor: THE WHOLE STORY IS
ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WAS WORKING,
AND THEN EVERYBODY STARTED
BELIEVING IN ORDER FOR THEM TO
SUCCEED, OTHER PEOPLE HAD TO
FAIL, AND THAT’S WHEN THE WORLD
STARTS FALLING APART.
AND THAT FEELS LIKE THAT’S THE
WORLD WE’RE LIVING IN TODAY.
WHAT’S ALSO COOL IS WE LIVE IN A
WORLD WHERE EVERYBODY WHO IS
GENERALLY NOT WHITE GETS PUT
INTO, LIKE, ONE CATEGORY.
WITH ASIAN, IT’S JUST LIKE
ASIAN.
WE’RE DONE.
BUT WHAT’S COOL ABOUT THE MOVIE
IS IT’S LIKE, NO, IT SORT OF
TELLS THE STORY OF REAL LIFE.
HEY, THIS IS NOT A MONOLITH.
THIS IS NOT HOMOGENOUS.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS STORY TAKES
PLACE WITH A SOUTH ASIAN
PERSPECTIVE BUT IT IS STILL A
STORY ABOUT ALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE
COMING FROM THE ASIAN SPHERE.
THERE WAS SO MUCH RESEARCH
DONE TO MAKE SURE THIS SPECIFIC
PART OF THE WORLD WAS HONORED IN
A REALLY AUTHENTIC WAY.
SO TO BE ABLE TO BE PART OF THAT
AND TO BE ABLE, LIKE YOU SAID,
TO SORT OF SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON
ALL THESE REALLY SPECIFIC
THINGS.
LIKE, NOT ONLY ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT THE SPASK FABRICS, THE
DIFFERENT TRIBES, BUT THE TYPE
OF MARTIAL ARTS THAT YOU’RE
SEEING DEPICTED IS SPECIFICALLY
FROM THIS REGION OF THE WORLD
AND THE FOOD AND IT GOES ON AND
ON AND ON.
TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF THAT
AND REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT
WAS.
DISNEY MADE ME REALLY HAPPY AS
SOMEONE WHO WAS STARVED TO SEE
HERSELF AS A KID.
Trevor: RIGHT.
WHEN I WAS WATCHING THE MOVIE, I
WAS THINKING, IT’S SO AMAZING
LIKE IN THIS FILM DISNEY HIT ON
THE PERFECT NOTES.
THE COSTUMES ARE PHENOMENAL.
THE ACTING IS AMAZING.
LIKE, THE LANDSCAPES THAT WE GET
TO SEE OF ALL THE DIFFERENT
PLACES AND THE CULTURES.
AND THEN YOU HAVE DRAGONS ON TOP
OF THAT.
WE LOVE DRAGONS.
Trevor: RIGHT.
IT FEELS LIKE THE PERFECT
COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING.
BUT YOU MADE THE MOVIE IN
LESS-THAN-PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES.
I MEAN, EVERYBODY WAS IN, LIKE,
REMOTE LOCATIONS.
EVERYBODY-- WHERE WERE YOU
RECORDING YOUR PARTS?
BECAUSE I DON’T THINK EVERYBODY
WAS TOGETHER, RIGHT?
NO, I ACTUALLY-- YEAH, I
REALLY DIDN’T GET TO INTERACT
WITH AWKWAFINA AT ALL UNTIL WE
STARTED DOING PRESS OVER ZOOM.
Trevor: WOW.
YEAH, WE WERE ALL COMPLETELY
ISOLATED.
I WAS WORKING OUT OF MY
BOYFRIEND’S APARTMENT, AND WE
BASICALLY TAPED SOUND BLANKETS
TO THE WALL.
Trevor: WOW!
IT WAS NOT GLAMOROUS
( LAUGHS )
LIKE IT WAS JUST A MAKESHIFT
FORT IN HIS BEDROOM.
AND THAT’S WHERE THE MAJORITY OF
THIS MOVIE WAS RECORDED.
Trevor: DID YOU-- DID YOU
EVER HAVE THOSE MOMENTS --
BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE DOING
STUFF AT HOME-- WHERE YOU’RE
TRYING TO BE REALLY SERIOUS,
YOU’RE IN THE ZONES, AND THERE’S
A POST MATE OR UBEREATS
DELIVERY.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY OF THOSE WHILE
FILMING "RAYA?"
FULLY, YEAH.
DELIVERIES, AND ALSO JUST THE
SOUNDS OF CONSTRUCTION OUTSIDE,
OR THE INTERNET CUTTING OUT.
YEAH.
AND, ALSO, LIKE, VOICEOVER IS SO
WEIRD BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DO ALL
THESE GRUNTING NOISES NOISES AND
SCREAMS NOISES.
Trevor: YES, YES.
I STILL LIVE IN AN APARTMENT.
SO I’M LIKE MY NEIGHBORS
PROBABLY THINK I’M GETTING
MURDERED OR DOING SOME CRAZY
STUFF, JUST DOING ALL THESE
CRAZY GRUNTING FIGHT SOUNDS AND
SCREAMING "NO!"
AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS 10 TIMES
THIS A ROW.
Trevor: WHEN YOU DO THIS,
DO YOU STAND THERE STOIC OR DO
YOU TRY TO DO THE MOVIES AS WELL
IN THE ROOM?
OKAY, SO I FULLY, ORIGINALLY,
ALWAYS TRY TO DO THE MOVES.
THERE’S A SCENE AT THE END OF
THE MOVIE-- I DON’T WANT TO
SPOIL TOO MUCH.
IT’S A VERY BIG-- SHE’S GOT A
SWORD AND SHE’S LIKE-- AND I’M
FULLY BEHIND THE MICROPHONE
STABBING AROUND ME.
AND THEN I WOULD GET IN TROUBLE,
BECAUSE I WOULD MOVE TOO FAR
FROM THE MIC.
SO THEN I’D HAVE TO MAKE SURE I
WAS HERE AND BE, LIKE, DOING
THIS.
( LAUGHTER ).
Trevor: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!
HILARIOUS.
Trevor: THE MOVIE, I FEEL,
COMES AT A PERFECT TIME FOR-- I
MEAN, A NUMBER OF REASONS.
ONE, WE’RE ALL STUCK AT HOME.
IT’S AMAWZING TO SEE, LIKE,
BLOFTED BUSTER MOVIE AND GET TO
ENJOY THEM AT HOME.
TWO, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL FILM.
AND PEOPLE LOVE DISNEY MOVIES.
BUT IT’S ALSO THE TIMING OF WHO
THE MOVIE IS ABOUT.
RIGHT NOW THE ASIAN COMMUNITY IN
AMERICA IS FACING ONE OF ITS
TOUGHEST TIMES WHERE HATE CRIMES
ARE JUST SKYROCKETING.
MANY PROMINENT AGENTS IN
HOLLYWOOD SAYING, "HEY, WE NEED
TO FIGHT AGAINST THIS.
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO█ç STEP UP."
AND I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE ON SOCIAL
MEDIA SAYING LET’S WORK TOGETHER
TO DO THIS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF A MOVIE LIKE
THIS IS FOR KIDS AND FOR PEOPLE
WHO JUST WATCH MOVIES AND MIGHT
HAVE A SUBCONSCIOUS
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY’RE
SEEING.
EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID.
WHEN YOU MACH A MOVIE LIKE THIS,
YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE
ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH IT’S GOING
TO BE RELEASED IN.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WORLD
YOU’RE RELEASING INTO.
TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF THIS
MOVIE RIGHT NOW WHEN THE NEWS
IS-- BECAUSE I’M LURKING ON THE
INTERNET.
IT’S A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF
ATTACK AFTER ATTACK, AND I KNOW
FOR ME, LIKE, I JUST REALLY HOPE
THAT THIS IS A MOMENT WHERE WE
CAN COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY
AND REALLY RECOGNIZE THE PRIDE
AND THE JOY THAT COMES WITH
CELEBRATING WHERE WE’RE FROM.
YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN A WORLD
TELLING US WE NEED TO BE AFRAID,
AND WE NEED TO HIDE AND WE HAVE
TO BE ASHAMED.
AND TO BE PART OF THIS MOVIE
THAT IS SO CLEARLY CELEBRATING
INSTEAD OF HIDING FEELS LIKE
SUCH A PROUD MOMENT FOR ME.
AND I HOPE THAT IT’S ONE THAT
THE COMMUNITY CAN CELEBRATE.
Trevor: THERE’S ALSO
ANOTHER COMMUNITY THAT WILL SET
BRIGHT IT ON TOP OF OF THAT AND
THAT WILL BE WOMEN AND LITTLE
GIRLS EVERYWHERE.
I MEAN, ONE THING PEOPLE HAVE
ALWAYS SAID ABOUT DISNEY
MOVIES-- AND DISNEY THEMSELVESES
HAVE MADE FUN OF IT, IS WHERE
THE PRINCESS IS ALWAYS HELPLESS
AND WAITING TO GET RESCUED.
AND YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE AND
IT’S JUST LIKE, NO, PEOPLE ARE
JUST KICKING ASS, ALL DIFFERENT
TYPES OF WOMEN, ALL THESE
PRINCESSES AS WE KNOW THEM.
NO, THESE ARE WARRIORS WHO JUST
HAPPEN TO BE THE DAUGHTER OF THE
RULER.
YEAH, WHICH I AM SO STOKED
ABOUT.
I THINK SOMETHING THAT WAS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME COMING
INTO THIS-- AND ALSO REALLY
IMPORTANT TO DISNEY AS WELL-- IS
WE REALLY ARE REALLY TRYING TO
CHANGE THAT NARRATIVE.
LIKE, WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK WHEN
THEY THINK OF THE WORD
"PRINCESS?"
WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK WHEN THEY
THINK OF THE WORD ""HERO."
AND THEY SEE RAYA AND ALL THESE
OTHER CHARACTERS AND I THINK
THEY’RE BROADENING THE IDEA OF
WHAT INSTINCTIVELY WHAT PEOPLE
THINK WHEN THEY THINK OF THOSE
WORDS AND IT’S SO COOL TO BE
PART OF THAT CHANGE.
Trevor: YOU’RE GOING TO BE
CARRYING YOUR LIFE ON NOW.
YOU’RE GOING TO BE LURKING ON
LINE.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU GIVE TO YOUNG
PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO FEEL LIKE
THEY HAVE TO BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
TO STAY CONNECTED WITH THEIR
WORLD, BUT ALSO SEARCH WITH THE
ENDURING ABUSE THAT MIGHT COME
THEIR WAY.
YEAH, I THINK IT’S A DECISION
EVERYONE NEEDS TO MAKE ON THEIR
OWN INDIVIDUALLY.
BUT I WILL ALSO SAY THERE ARE
BOUNDARY THAWKS SET FOR
YOURSELF, WHETHER THAT’S MAKING
SURE THAT CERTAIN WORDS, IF
COMMENTS ARE BEING LEFT ON YOUR
PUBLIC PAGE, THAT THOSE DON’T
GET THROUGH.
OR-- WE’VE HAD ALL THESE
DOCUMENTARIES TALKING ABOUT THE
ADDICTIVE NATURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
AND WHAT IT IS DOING TO CHANGE
OUR BRAINS.
WE CAN DECIDE WHAT’S A HEALTHY
TIME LIMIT TO MAKE SURE WE
ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND
BEING ACTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR
SOCIETY BUT NOT DOING THAT AT
THE EXPENSE OF OUR OWN MENTAL
HEALTH.
I THINK IT’S A GOOD CONVERSATION
FOR US TO BE HAVING AT ALL,
BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE, FOR A LOT
OF PEOPLE, IT’S ALMOST AN
EXPECTATION WITHOUT A
DISCUSSION.
SO TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE
DISCUSSION WITH YOURSELF AND
WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND THE PEOPLE
AROUND YOU, LIKE, HOW CAN I DO
THIS PRODUCTIVELY BUT ALSO MAKE
SURE I AM MENTALLY IN A PLACE
WHERE I’M HAPPY?
THESE ARE GOOD CONVERSATIONS TO
HAVE.
Trevor: MOST DEFINITELY.
GOOD CONVERSATIONS TO HAVE, AND
A GOOD MENTAL SPACE TO BE IN.
KELLIE MARIE TRAN, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR JOINING ME ON THE SHOW.
AND CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN.
THANK YOU!
Trevor: "RAYA AND THE LAST
DRAGON" WILL BE IN THEATERS AND
ON DISNEY+ WITH PREMIER ACCESS
STARTING ON MARCH 5.
OKAY, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK, BUT WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS.
TONIGHT, BUT BEFORE WE GO:
MARCH IS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH,
SO PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING AN
ORGANIZATION CALLED "SHE SHOULD
RUN."
IT’S A NON-PARTISAN NON-PROFIT
WORKING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
OF WOMEN WHO ARE CONSIDERING A
RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.
NOW, BY SUPPORTING "SHE SHOULD
RUN," YOU ARE HELPING WOMEN FROM
ALL POLITICAL LEANINGS,
ETHNICITIES, SEXUAL IDENTITIES,
AND BACKGROUNDS TO SEE
THEMSELVES AS FUTURE CANDIDATES.
SO IF YOU ARE ABLE TO, GO TO THE
LINK BELOW TO DONATE WHAT YOU
CAN.
UNTIL TOMORROW, STAY SAFE OUT
THERE, WEAR A MASK, AND
REMEMBER: THE ONLY PERSON
STOPPING YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR
DREAMS IS YOU, AND THE SENATE
PARLIAMENTARIAN.
BUT MOSTLY YOU.
NOW, HERE IT IS, YOUR MOMENT OF
ZEN.

IN A DIMENSION BETWEEN LEFT

DIMENSION OF THE IMAGINATION.
IT’S AN AREA WE CALL "THE
MARJORIE ZONE."
WHILE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
VOTER SUPPRESSION AND LONG
LINES, I’D LIKE TO POINT OUT
THAT THERE’S REAL VOTER
SUPPRESSION THAT HAPPENS RIGHT
HERE IN CONGRESS.
MANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE TO
STAND IN LONG LINES TO ENTER THE
CHAMBER, GOING THROUGH METAL
DETECTORS, EMPTYING OUR POCKETS
AND BEING TREATED VERY
DISRESPECTFULLY.
SO THAT IS REAL VOTER
SUPPRESSION, AND IT’S A SHAME
THAT IT HAPPENS RIGHT HERE ON
THE HOUSE FLOOR.
