and there weren't enough grains or vegetables, they would eat the weakest of the brood. [laughs] no! they didn't eat the children. it never came to that. >> trevor: hey, everybody, i'm trevor noah and welcome to another episode of the daily social distancing show. we're back but we're still filming from my apartment because it's saver for everyone that way and i'm still only halfway through my hoodie collection. now today's not going to be a normal show and that's because nothing is normal right now. for one thing there's still a global pandemic and as of this weekend 400,000 people around the world have died from coronavirus, with more than 110,000 of those people here in the u.s. so please remember, if you are out there, wear a mask and keep your distance as much as you can. but believe it or not, there is an even bigger story going on right now about the greatest pandemic of all, racism, which unlike the coronavirus, doesn't go away if stay in your house for 14 days. so instead, people have been

taking to the streets. >> with a country in turmoil, hundreds of thousands of americans are protesting against systemic racism and police brutality. >> no justice, no peace. no justice, no peace. >> tens of thousands of americans protesting peacefully, filling cities and towns across the country. >> in washington d.c. for eight minutes 46 seconds, thousands of protestors lying down across the black lives matter plaza. in new york city demonstrators swarmed time square. in austins thousands cried no justice, no peace. in green bay, wisconsin, demonstrators closing down a bridge. >> in all 50 states, people of all colors, all join together. in los angeles they took the notion of a peaceful protest to a whole new lotus, adding in yoga. >> in houston, some marched by horseback. while on maui, they gathered on surfboards at sunset. >> trevor: that is really amazing. never before in american history have there been an uprising like

this, exactly like this, where you have huge numbers of people coming out every single day, in every single state in the country. and it's particularly notable because it's almost completely spontaneous. usually big demonstrations take months of planning, publicizing, getting permits. these ones, just ayo, meet meows and pem are there. starting in minnesota after the murder of george floyd these protests for black lives have spread like nobody could have imagined. from tense of thousands of people in big mupt multiethnic cities to 24u7b people in towns that are 90% white. and now even more impressive is that this protest has started blowing up all over the world. >> in paris they marched, as they did in rome and tokyo. in hungary, a silent crowd took a knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds. covid-19 kept thai protestors off the street but on screen in

a massive zoom session. in london, joining this protest mattered far more than the lockdown rule. thousands, many masked against coronavirus gathered outside the american embassy. >> your message is heard over here. and we'll keep fighten the same fight that you are. >> trevor: we'll keep fighting the same fight that you are. yeah. that right there, that rit there is why this movement has become as big as it has. because everyone, everyone is now realizing that we're all in the same fight. like these protests may have been sparked by one killing in one american city but the truth is, the truth is that if you are a black person or a minority or a poor person, in many places around the world, am london, berlin, seoul, capetown, you understand what it means to be a target of the police and a target of a system that is designed to keep you down, with violence, if necessary. and that's why you now have

people in every country standing together, standing together to say this is not acceptable any more. black lives matter. an whenever there are big protests, whenever there are big protests there will always be people who stand on the sidelines, there are always going to be people who sit in their newspaper offices or tv news studios and say i sim pathize with you but there is not the way to get what you want, this is not the way you should be doing it, protesting is a waste of time, it turns people off trk doesn't accomplish anything. well, you know what, i hope those people are hungry. because they are going to be eating their words. because after two weeks, just after two weeks of these protests we're already seeing incredible results, both large and small. for example, for decades americans have been arguing about confederate monuments. and other racist statues littered around the country. the people have said, take them down. and government officials have said oh, we'll think about t we'll study it, we'll start a

commission, we'll get back to you. well, this time people said take them down, and the government officials responded with yeah, you're right. >> they were here thursday night at the foot of richmond's robert e lee after the governor announced the mondayment which stood for 130 years is coming down. mobile, alabama removed a confederate statute this morning and indianapolis announced this one is coming down. for days protestors in philadelphia have tried to tear down this controversial statue of former mayor and police commissioner frank rizzo, widely accused of being a symbol of racism for his tactics against the black community in the 19 '60s and '70s. the city taking it down in the middle of the night. >> trevor: yes, in philadelphia they decided to take down a statue of a racist police commissioner. and i guess the question we should be asking is why did a racist police commissioner have a statue in the first place. and yes, there are still, there are still people out there who are like yeah, but if you take

down the statues, how will people learn their history. these statues are about-- read a book, mother [bleep] that is how you learn history. no one really thinks that these statues are teaching anybody history. the bubonic plaig was a major event in history, we don't go around and put up statues of rats, you don't see that shit anywhere. and speaking of learning, that another thing these protests are affecting, another area we are seeing the impact of the protests because people, just average people are hearing these conversations about racism and policing and they are saying you know what, since there are no statues, maybe i should read. >> books on systemic racism are making best seller lists as protests continue across the country. six of the top ten best selling books on amazon are on the topic of race in america. white fragility, the new jim crow and just mercy are some of the books at the top of amazon and barnes & noble's best selling list today. >>-- is souled of the book how to be an antiracist and has

hundreds on back order, they received a total of 3,000 online orders this week alone and eventually had to stop accepting them. >> trevor: yes, thanks to the protests and thanks to the conversation, and thanks to people pushing, americans are so concerned about what is happening in their country right now that books about race and racism in america are sold out. and yes, i know a lot of people might say it's too little, too late, why are you only reading now. that is a good question. but i think at the same time we have to be happy that people are reading now. how many times have we seen a video, how hane times have there been protests and no books bought, no conversation had. so this is movement. this is prog reses in the right direction. and you can see that it is working. because people are aren't just buying books. people are saying black lives matter. and they're not just saying it, they are saying it in public. black lives matter has become the phrase that people admit needs to be said. and mawb it is because of george floyd video, maybe because the whole world was forced to sit at

home and watch that video but it's happening. everyone from a rom me to k pop fans are saying black lives matter. corporations, am glorntion bud lite, everyone is saying black lives matter. and don't get me wrong, i don't know if these companies actually are going to do something to show that they believe black lives matter other than just saying it, but it is still a major step to have american corporations without just a few years ago were terrified of that phrase saying it as part of their corporate paper. because black lives matter shouldn't be controversial as a phrase. black people having lives shouldn't be a controversial thing at all. and you can tell that this protest is working. because even the nfl, even the nfl has stepped up to say you know what, we can do better. >> roger goodell is apologizing for how the leak failed to support players who were protesting police brutality and racial injustice during the

national anthem. for many this is an about face that was a long time coming. >> roger goodell is changing the league's message, releasing this video statement late friday. >> we the national football league, condemn racism, and the systemic oppression of black people. we the national football league admit we were wrong for not listening to nfl players earlier. and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. >> yes. >> roger goodell, commissioner of the nfl has come out with a statement that you just saw which is one hell of a statement from the nfl. look, it is a bit weird that he's affirmed their commitment to black lives matter and protests and then not mentioned colin kaepernick, the person black balled by the nfl for protesting for black lives matter in the first place. i mean that's what i mean by people actually doing something. like it's nice to see the nfl say this, don't get me wrong but i hope that goodell and everyone at the nfl will look at doing something. because every other industry,

you know, they have to prove their commitment by hiring thousands of new black people. the nfl has just got to hire one. i know it is symbolic gestures are nothing to sneeze at but we all agree that posting statements, taking down statues and selling books is not enough. it is part of it but it is not enough. companies have to hire more black people. companies have to start not hiring people because they are blafnlgt the culture has to amplify more black voices and of course they have to end racist policing of black communities, that is where we all started that is where this whole thing start. and that is the good thing about these protests. is that it hasn't just gotten people talking, it hasn't just gotten people buying books, leagues and organizations saying black lives matter. the best part about these protests is that they were already producing changes. >> the killing of george floyd

is fueling calls to defund america's police department. the chants are spreading at hashtags and the hashtag is gaining momentum on twitter. the idea might also be catching on at city hall. los angeles mayor eric garcetti said wednesday he will not be increasing the police budget. he also announced 250 million dollared will be invested in such areas as jobs and education, especially in black and nonwhite communities. >> trevor: yes, los angeles has announced that they will be taking money away from the lapd and putting it into programs like education. and please don't get us wrong, this is not a spiteful. i have seen conversations where it seems they are punishing the police, no, studies have shown that when you invest in people, when you invest in communities, you don't need to invest in the police. it makes sense, prevention is always better than a cure.

especially when the cure kills black people. and after the mayor of los angeles made this announcement, mayor the mayor-- after the mayor came out out and did this, which was huge, other cities said they will also try, at least try to fix their policing problem. new york has announced that they are planning to cut the police budget and chak some of the laws that have protected killer cops. houston, sacrament o banning choke holds an certain other uses of force which not enough but it is a start. and democrats in washington have inte-- introduced a bill that would make it easier to investigate and punish violent police, as well as banning no new york warrants like the kind used by the cops who killed breonna taylor. and if all of this actually happens, these will be meaningful reforms. but one of the themes that has come out of these protests is that reform is not enough. what a lot of people are saying is it you cannot reform something that was inherently designed to be bad.

so what many people are demanding now is to de fund or abolish the police. let's stop having police in schools. let's stop having police deal with homelessness. or people with mental illness. let's stop having police patrol neighborhoods where they don't live and give that job to residents. and a month ago, a month ago if you said any of this, you seemed like you were crazy and it was a pipedream that would never happen. but again, after these protests, it may soon become a reality. >> in an unprecedented move the minneapolis city council has vowed to defund and go beyond that, dismantle the city's police department. they're promising to replace it with a new system of public safety. >> we where speaking to the minneapolis police department because did is not keeping minneapolis safe. we have looked at ways to reform this department, we do not think it is possible.

>> trevor: yeah, the city where this all started is tully promising to de fund the police. and look, we're not naive, we know thatless pros aren't always kept. politicians weasel out of things all the time and even good intentions only go so far. but to have gotten this far with less than two weeks of protests is truly amazing. and it's not over yet. the people are still fighting. the people are still pushing. and something tells me if they keep at it, there will be no stopping us. we'll be right back. thanks for sharing your diy haircuts. thanks for sharing your savage moves, and especially your awkward ones. thanks for sharing your cute kids. and your adorable pets. now it's our turn to share... with the geico giveback. a 15% credit on car and motorcycle policies for both current and new customers.

vehicles. >> law enforcement in riot gear approach a barrier. protestors on the other side, hands up in the air, chanting don't shoot. >> don't shoot. >> but that's exactly what they did. shooting tear gas and rubber bullets. >> the threat of terrorism after 9/11 convention-- convinced many departments to stock up. now those departments are facing off against their own citizens. >> just take a moment to think about that. the police departments got this heavy duty equipment to fight terrorists. that's why they got the equipment, post 9/11. and now they are using it against americans who are exercising their rights to protest. and i'm sorry, what about these people screams terrorists to you. like maybe i have forgotten my history but i done remember the part where al-qaeda attacked america with cardboard signs. and an argument i have heard some people say is that the only reason the police are doing this is because the protestors are

looting or being violent, that is what they are are saying, no, they are doing this because the people are violent. but as happens so often, the police's story never matches the actual footage. because for the past week the internet has been full of videos of police officers attacking protestors with no provocation whatsoever. >> caught on camera, from coast to coast, alleged excessive force by police officers. attacked against protesters who were demonstrating against police brutality. >> in new york police drove a vehicle into a crowd of people protesting there. in los angeles police who witnesses say are simply standing with their hands un. >> a new york police officer caught on camera pushing a woman who was demonstrating. >> an officer pulling a man's face mask off and spraying him with pepper spray. >> this unsettling image of an officer kicking a woman who was maced. >> caught on camera a protester run over by an hpd mounted

patrol unit at the height of prot test. >> we as black people deal with this every day. black and brown people are treated brutally every day. >> trevor: i don't care who you are, those images have to be upsetting to watch. because these images are the antithesis of what america is supposed to stand for. this is supposed to be the country where you have the freedom to say whatever you want. a democracy. right? you can say whatever you want, whether if is black lives matter or let's all drink bleech, the government is not supposed to physically punish you for that. and that hasn't always been the case in america, but that is the ideal. all right? when people were protesting in michigan saying that they want to go out, they want to go back to work, they want to get haircuts they don't care about the coronavirus, they weren't gitting beaten up, and that is what america is, the freedom to protest. and the freedom to protest isn't the only american ideal police have been trying to suppress lately. it seems like they've been really making a concerted effort to go after the free press. >> more than 300 journalists

have faced press pree dom violation. >> across the united states the cameras rolling when law enforcement seem to be targeting journalists. >> i am press. please-- . >> we identified ourselves as press and they fired tear gas cannisters on us at point blank range. >> this australian cameraman and reporter were shoved and hit while live on air. >> police now advancing on protestors. >> oh my gosh. >> i'm getting shot. >> in louisville, pepper bombs fired a crew on live tv. >> who were they aiming that at. >> at us, directly at us. >> qulairks those videos are what is happening in america right now. cops are just openly firing tear gas and pepper bullets an everything on journalists. i mean i can't blame them, if i was doing the shit that the police had been doing i wouldn't want anyone recording it either.

so the police are attacking unarmed protestors, defenseless reporters, i mean at this point, you might be wondering, is there anyone, is there anyone nonthreatening enough that the police would not get violent with them? and what we are learning is that the answer is no. >> a salt lake city police officer in full riot gear using his shield to push an elderly man with a caine. the man falls face first on to the ground. >> two officers in buffalo new york pushing a 75 year old man, who falls to the ground, hits his head and starts bleeding. none of the officers in the video appear to help him. >> trevor: i don't care how many times i see that video, i will never get used to it. because it's bad enough that these cops push an old man who is walking over to them. but the fact that they walk over him, they walk past him, while he's bleeding out on the sidewalk, like who are you protecting and serving? if not that old man? and think about it, these were

just two that were caught on video. now as usual, when videos like this come out, the excuse is always the same. people always want to defend those police by saying those are just a couple of bad apples. that is not, that is not a signifier, that is not representative of the entire police department. the only issue is that argument falls apart when you see what happens after they push this old man to the ground. >> a police statement released before the footage was popsed online said only that a man tripped and fell. but after the video surfaced, the police commissioner ordered an internal affairs investigation. and the immediate suspension of the officers without pay. >> as the officers leave the courthouse, cheers from a crowd of fellow officers and law enforcement. in another show of support, all 57 members of the buffalo emergency response team resigned but they remain on the police force. >> trevor: think about there

for a second. not only did the police department try to cover up what happened, not only did they try and live about something we all saw on camera, that once the truth got out and those cops were pirned, the entire team resigned to protest those police being held accountable. in fangt, they even showed up at the courthouse to cheer them on as they came out. what are you cheering? that buffalo's finally safe from old men walking around in public. what are you cheering. the fact that you come out, the fact-- it is scary to think about, what are they cheering for? something i think people need to understand about the police is that in a way, they have the same code that a gang does. in that above all, you are loyal to your crew. that is a culture that is within every police department. and that's the heart of this issue. it is good police, are willing

to look the other way or even join in when the bad police have used their powers. you can make new rules and regulations all you want but if it wouldn't matter. america's not going to be able to fix this problem until we have police whose first priority is protecting and serving the people instead of protecting and serving themselves. >> when we come back, i'll be talking to miski noor from the black vision collective in minneapolis on the ground where the george floyd protest started and we'll be talking about how things have gone since that day. we'll be right back. marvelous party, darling. see you in monaco. - indeed. bro, you know how to throw down! it's literally all i do. yo, this was turnt. yes, yes, it was turnt.

daily social distancing show. earlier today i got the clans to talk to miski noor. now miski is an organizer of black visions collective, an organization in minneapolis dedicated to ending systems of violence. we spoke about grnlg floyd, the murder and how minute yap lis city council is pledging to

dismantle the city's police department. so check it out. >> welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> that's cute, that's cute, i appreciate that. thank you for having me. >> trevor: you are somebody who's on the ground and not just now but you have been on the ground. take me through a little journey, if you don't mind, just for the viewers to paint a picture of minneapolis, you know, a lot of people were shocked at what happened in minneapolis. a lot of people were shocked at what happened to george floyd. a lot of people were shocked at what happened to the aftermath to grornlg floyd. but you were one of the people who wasn't so much shocked but area it's almost like you were like, you were like this is what was bound to happen because of minneapolis' story. tell me a little bit about that and, and why you believe that. >> i would say not only just the history of the police in general, right, where we know that the roots of institution of police comes from slave catching and union busting, right, but in the city of minneapolis, the

police department has only been here for about 150 years but we know before george floyd there is orlando castileo and terrence flank lynn and thurman blevin and marcus golen and vaughn lee and so many others. and minneapolis has been the poster child for reform, right. we had an openly gay indigenous woman as police chief, we received, not we, the minneapolis police department received a review from president obama's department of justice, they seen received a settlement to receive training to not put people, detainees in prone position which is the exact tactic that chauvin, derek chauvin used to murder george floyd. so and we currently have a black police chief, and still the minneapolis police department manages to murder black people in the streets.

and so this is the vetting for what happened to george floyd and we saw with the murder of jam arc park five years ago, our demands back then were actually that we wanted to see the tape of the murder, right. we wanted to show to the public and the family especially. we wanted a d o.j. investigation into the 12 hour standoff that we had with the police in which they really brutalized protestors by driving their bikes into people, by drags a young-- scarfs, by punching young black queer women in the face. we wanted an investigation into that behavior. we wanted know grand jury because we knew grand jury would not get us justice. but all of our demands were really inside of making the system give us justice. and ever since then we've actually changed our focus, to

focus much more on abolition. and what does it mean to reduce the scope and the scale and the power of police. and so that's what defund the police is really about. and that is the work we have been doing with black citizens and reclaim the block over the last few years. >> let's go through each thing step-by-step. you have lived in minneapolis for how long now? >> wow, i have been here since 2003. so almost coming up on 20 years. >> right, and so you have lived in this place that is predominantly white. and yet at the same time experiences predominantly black people experiencing brutality at the hands of police. >> 60% of people murdered by the police or involved in police shootings over the last 18 years have been brack people. >> trevor: and what is the percentage of black people in

minneapolis. >> we are about 12% of the population i believe. >> trevor: wow. so it is safe to say that a tiny portion of the population have been experiencing a majority of the sphors that the police-- the force that the police exert on people and i think that is something that has been missing from the conversation, yes george floyd is the cat list but a lot of people haven't been talking about like you know all of the little flints that have been causing this flame, all of the little tinders that have been creating what we are seeing right now. so talk us through a little bit of minneapolis' problems. like what do you think has contributed to what became the explosion that we saw post george floyd. >> uh-huh, so yeah, i talked to you a little bit about some of the reforms that the police department have tried that did not work. >> right. >> but some of the numbers inside of our state actually, right, minnesota has the fourth

largest employment gap between black and while folks. we have one of the largest disparities in home ownership at 76% for white folks and 24% for black folks. and in 2019 we were actually named one of the fourth worst metros in the country for black people based on education and housing health care and so many other things. and so those are the disparities. and as i mentioned before, those are mirrored in the minute wrap liss police department in the way they treat black people in the state and city. >> trevor: do you have any idea of why this sparked the outrage that it did? because minneapolis does have this historiment minneapolis does have this pain. the black community has been subject to countless, as we've seen, even the officer in question had something like 20 previous complaints against him. what do you think sparked minneapolis' rage the way that it was sparked after george

floyd. >> organizers here adjacent-- -- jason soul saidein a video that minneapolis was one bullet away from being ferguson five years ago. it wasn't a bullet, right, but it was a murder. it was a murder by the police. and so that clarity really hit me. also the really underlying current of all of that, being organizing. we didn't stop organizing after the media stopped paying attention in minneapolis or many other cities as police continue to brutalize and kill black folks. we continued organizing and talking to our neighbors and having conversations about de funding the police and what could be possible and what community lead safety could look like. >> and that is something, sorry to interrupt you, but that is something i really wanted to chat to you about, i really found this interesting in and around the work you've been doing in minneapolis. because before, i would argue

before it became, you know, in vogue to talk about this, you have been one of the organizers on the ground in minneapolis working to de fund, abolition and foster community policing or community accountability and i wanted to talk to you about that. what has that been like on the ground, what does that actually mean in terms of the community working within themselves to hold people accountable? because i think a lot of people have heard snippets of this, but don't truly understand what it means. >> st honestly a a lot of organizing, and storytelling, right. it's organizing. it's organizing our community members to really take their own power back and telling the story of how it actually is their power. so many folks are disillusioned with politics or elections or even their own like city governments, because they don't actually see themselves reflected there and they don't actually see themselves heard.

so we really wanted to engage our community's emergencyation about-- imagination about what could be possible and it has become possible during this uprising. the police really left us to ourselves when white supremacists descended on our city. so there has been community patrols. it has been medic training, it's been food drives and transportation services and handing out ppe. and it has really actually protected us during this time and that is some of the work we were doing before. in 2018 black businesses reclaimed the block, forced the city council by getting community members out to budget hearings to remove 1.1 million from the police department, and reallocated to things like the office of violence prevention. before this uprising our city government planned to cut that office, right. their plan was to remove it. we only got it, we haven't even had a chance to see what the great aim pact of that could be.

so one of our demands has been you have to fund that for years to come. and so those are the kind of things we want and the kinds of things we're trying to get our community to fight for so there can actually be real protection for black folks and other marginalized communities because the announcement yesterday was amazing. and what got it to happen is the on the ground organizing that folks have been doing for years, not only in minneapolis but all around the country. >> it really was huge because you had the city council come out and say that their committing to working to dismantle the police department as we know it. and this is, i mean has blown people away because i don't think this is a conversation anybody thought any city council would ever be having, you know, now. it doesn't seem like it would happen and clearly the protests and the move. s have created something. activists and organizers like yourself have created something. is this what you want to see? were you happy when this was announced. >> 100 percent and on prince's

birthday, prince knew something about the revolution but yeah, this was one of the things we wanted to see. this is a win. we've seen a lot of wins over the last two weeks. i want community and people to really claim that and really understand what is possible with people power. because we can do this, and we can really craft a world in which all of us are safe and all of our dignities and humanities. and the public commit sment great. the work continues, right. we actually have to see, we have to have conversations, minneapolis is making history by a community driven process to dismantle and pd and organizing have lead to this but we have a lot of hard work ahead of us. learning new skills and building new relationships. and really trying things that we haven't done before. but we believe that the reward is going to be a city that really invests in life-affirming

policies and programs and services, that care for our people, instead of police that terrorize us. >> trevor: before i let you go, i know that being an organizer is often thankless, being an organizer is extremely difficult and now more than ever people are willing and excited to help organize ares and activists on the tbrownd. so if there are people who want to help out in minneapolis, people who want to spend resources, where do they find your organization, where do you think they should drive their resources towards. >> so you can find us at black visions and then@black visions and then on twitter on instagram and facebook and we are, you know, come see about us, we're a black-led queer, trans centering organization with healing and transformative justice ste center that is trying to build powerful campaigns. reclaim the block and ntd150 are really great resources about defunding police and abolition work, if you have questions and want to talk to your neighbors and family about this, and if

are you curious and want to learn more about community lead safety definitely go there. the movement for black lives is a great resource. check out all of the different organizations doing work, all across the country. and then we actually do want to help support with your dollars organizations that are on the ground. if you go to bitly back slash fund the community you will find a bunch of organizations on the ground in minneapolis part of this ecosystem that are supporting folks on the grond and uprising work in this moment. >> trevor: thank you so much for taking the time today, and congratulations to you and the community on your win and hopefully there will be more to come. >> thanks so much, trevor. appreciate you. >> trevor: thank you so much, miski. when we come back, super bowl champion anquan boldin joins us to talk about the players coalition and what drew brees said. so stick
