tv   The Daily Show With Trevor Noah  Comedy Central  June 17, 2020 11:00pm-11:45pm PDT

11:00 pm
>> trevor: hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of "the daily social distance show." i'm trevor noah. on tonight's episode we'll be speaking with n.f.l. quarterback matt ryan about what's happening in atlanta. and what he thinks of colin kaepernick's possible future in the n.f.l. we'll also be joined by the president of the human right campaign, alphonso david. and we'll find out what everyone has learned from coronavirus. it's nothing. we've learned nothing. before all that, let's catch up on today's homicides. welcome to the "the daily social distance 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 most important meal of the day: racism. >> reporter: a familiar face at breakfast for more than a
11:01 pm
century will soon be a thing of the past, quaker oats announcing that they're getting rid of the 130-year-old aunt jemima brand famous for pancake mixes, maple syrup, and other breakfast foods. in a statement to nbc news, quaker oats writing in part, "we recognize aunt jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype. while work has been done over the years to update the brand in a manner intended to be appropriate and respectful, we realize those changes are not enough." >> trevor: that's right, after 130 yearsing it officially time to pour one out for aunt jemima. don't worry. i put pancakes on the floor. now, if you don't understand the big deal is, aunt jemima, from the beginning, was a classic slave "mammy" stereotype who got her name from an old blackface minstrel character. and although the company has tried to strip away the most racist stuff over the years
11:02 pm
people still associate aunt jemima with ads like this one from 1945, where aunt jemima is saying "lawsee! folks sho whoops with joy over aunt jemima pancakes." so, yeah, those ads were so racist, trump going to appoint one to attorney general. it's also amazing that the brand knew that aunt jemima was racist, and instead of just changing tthey chose to instead slowly phase out the racism over time. that is so ridiculous. imagine you caught you partner cheating, and instead of stopping, they said, "yeah, you're right, baby, this is so wrong. i'm going to slowly start phasing out my affairs. from now on, sex, just hand stuff." but i guess that's how powerful racism is-- they can use it to sell food. "do you think black people are less than human? well, then you'll love these flapjacks!" but let's move on, because as we've all learned yet again over the past few weeks, the worst racism isn't in your breakfast. it's often what happens when you leave the house. and for people who are worried
11:03 pm
about getting harassed by the police, there's an app that might not be able to stop it but can at least make sure everyone finds out about it. >> amid widespread protests and anger over police brutality, an iphone shortcut that allows users to automatically record their interactions with the police is gaining popularity. after installing the shortcut, all you have to do is say, "hey, siri, i'm getting pulled over," and opens your front-facing camera and starts a video recording and sends a message to somebody you designate as a contact. once you stop recording, it sends the message to that contact and allows you to sen it to your icloud or dropbox. >> trevor: hell, yeah, siri. i always knew you were an ally. >> did you say "find local bowling alleys?" >> trevor: goddamn it. i hate you. now, obviously, this is a helpful tool for many, many people. but the fact that this app is even necessary just shows you how widespread this problem is. i mean, it's 30 years after rodney king, and the only thing
11:04 pm
that's basically changed is that the cameras are smarter. in fact the cops have released their own app. when they start to pull over a black person, their body cam automatically malfunctions. in other news, while most of the planet has been focused on fighting racism and fighting coronavirus, deep in the himalayas, china and india have decided they also want to fight each other. >> two nuclear powers are facing off in a remote corner of the himalayas. and now officials from china and india are scrambling to try to ease tensions. on monday, soldiers from both countries fought on disputed land, and the indian side lost around 20 soldiers, and that's prompted anger in several cities. you see people here stomping on chinese-made products, others burned an effigy of the chinese president. >> trevor: okay, i'm sorry but, china and india, you guys need to cool off. this is not the time. we cannot handle a world war right wow. we're already dealing with too many things-- coronavirus,
11:05 pm
economies are tanking, global protests are happening, and at any minute, more hollywood actors could release one of those black and white videos. i take responsibility... now, this dispute between china and india is about where exactly a remote border in the himalayas should be, and they've been arguing about this part of the border for 50 years. it isbasically what most beefs between countries come down to-- every country is basically just a kid in the back of a car, trying to claim as much of the middle seat as they can. i don't know if i would be fighting for that land anyway. it's in the himalayas. whoever gets it is still going. to be stuck dealing with asshole mountain climbers for a thousand years. yeah, china, you might push out india, but you're never getting rid of brock. and speaking of war, president trump is aiming all of his twitter fingers at his former national security adviser and cartoon owl, john bolton.
11:06 pm
>> tonight, a new twist in the president's rift with his former national security adviser john bolton. the justice department is suing him to block publication of his tell-all book scheduled to be released next week. >> i will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified. and if the book gets out, he's broken the law, and i would think that he would have criminal problems. >> if you're a publisher, if you're an author, you have a book coming out, your dream is to have the president attacking you. what was the result of that? the book is number one on amazon. >> trevor: donald j. trump has to be one of the most short-sighted people in history. of course the book is number one on amazon now! because you're trying so hard to keep it locked up just makes more people want to read it. ( as trump ) "nobody should ever read these hot, hot secrets, especially on page 32. you don't wanna see those." don't look, nobody should look. the understand why trump is so
11:07 pm
scared. already, the stuff that's been leaking out of this book is pretty wild. bolton says that trump openly asked china to help him win re-election, and constantly twisted american policy to help himself politically, which i think could severely damage trump's reputation with "greg," you know, greg, the one remaining guy who "didn't" believe that yet, but was still open to the possibility. bullshit from john bolton, because he could have testified in the senate trial, but instead, his warning is coming in the form of a memoir six months later. who sees their country in terrible danger from an unhinged president and goes, "i need to warn the people! chapter one... i was born on a bright autumn day in 1948..." and by the way, while trump is fighting off this book, he's also the subject of another tell-all book by his own niece.
11:08 pm
yeah, apparently, trump is considering suing her as well, because, like all normal families, his niece signed an n.d.a. in 2001. and i can't even begin to imagine how awkward thanksgiving is going to be for the trump family. can you imagine that vibe? trump is going to be like, "i'm not sitting next to mary, not after what she wrote about me!" "the other seat is next to eric." "okay, mary, let's talk this thing out." all right, i gotta go pick up my egg mcmuffin meal. when we come back, we'll catch up on all the major coronavirus developments around the world. stay tuned. >> if people get away with breaking the law, it incentivizes others to do the same. then you are engaging in rampant lawlessness, chaos, and tyranny, not allowed in a democracy which upholds rules of law.
11:09 pm
>> supporting these protesters that are breaking the law. these people should be arrested. they act like animals in the street. >> i don't see many lawful demonstrations. stopping regular traffics on sidewalks in front of buildings-- that is not lawful demonstrations. and they should enforce it. >> these thugs, they all should be locked up, thrown in jail for any type of crime. i don't care how little it is. put them in jail. forget politically correct garbage that everybody talks about. >> president trump upsets today's ill liberal elites when he tweets things like, "law and order." law and order is what all of our citizens deserve.
11:10 pm
>> if people broke the law, they have to be held accountable, because if we just allow that to happen, then we invite that type of crime in the future. that's why the rule of law matters. >> i think it's very obvious that the two clintons are completely pathological, and in some ways, it's a real pit they the law keeps giving them a pass, allowing them to stay one step ahead of the posse, because it sends them the message that they are literally above the law. >> the crimes that were committed before, during, and after benghazi, the things that really she ought to be held account for. when it was happening, nothing was done about it, and afterwards they had to lie to cover up their tracks. this is definitely a sea change.

11:15 pm
now, you may remember that the reason i'm shooting the show in my apartment is not because i forgot to pay the utility bill at the studio, but because coronavirus shut down the planet. and although the coronavirus devastated the globe, some countries managed to beat it, which gave the rest of us hope, countries like new zealand, the canada of australia. they had been celebrating because they had completely gotten rid of coronavirus, but then this week, they discovered that even they can't go back to normal just yet. >> after more than three weeks of no new cases of covid-19 in new zealand, with authorities believing the country had managed to eliminate the virus, the ministry of health today announced two new cases. they are both women who had traveled from the u.k. via australia. it's a major blow for the country that has aggressively tackled the virus. only last week, new zealand lifted almost all domestic coronavirus restrictions. >> trevor: oh, no!
11:16 pm
new zealand, you made the classic zombie movie mistake: when you're in the house and everything is fine, and someone knocks on the door, you do not let that person in! because when you open that door, it's going to be a zombie, or a jehovah's witness. either way, don't open the door. either way, it's described as "a major blow" to a country. if that's a major blow, america is taking in corona like a guy in an old wind tunnel experiment. i mean, this just goes to show how hard it's going to be to defeat coronavirus without a vaccine, because all it takes is one little slip-up for all your work to collapse. it's kind of like the game jenga, in the sense that it's not fun at all, and i wish it was over. "are you looking to spend 10 minutes nervous but also bored? try playing jenga." now, while new zealand is racing to contain these two cases, in the country where this all started, they're looking at an outbreak that could be a lot worse.
11:17 pm
>> china is racing to contain a new outbreak of covid-19. after reporting no new infections in beijing for more than 50 days, the virus has returned. >> parts of beijing under lockdown again, officials there calling it war-time mode: schools closed, transport in and out of the city shut down. there are now more than 100 coronavirus cases linked to beijing's xinfadi wholesale market. health officials scrambling to quickly contact trace, testing an estimated 200,000 people from market workers to recent visitors. near the area, images seen of hundreds of military police deployed to freeze the flow of people. >> trevor: okay, wait a minute, china is shutting down beijing because of a hundred cases? either china just takes this way more seriously than everyone else, or there's something they're not telling us again. now look, china, i know it's embarrassing to have more corona, especially when everyone
11:18 pm
in the world is blaming you for this thing. but you need to be honest with us about what's happening, because you saw what secrets did the last time: one minute it was a few cases in wuhan, and the next thing you know, we're all making face masks out of our roommate's underwear. now, there is some good news in the battle against covid-9. researchers at oxford say that a common steroid that's been around for 60 years can dramatically reduce the risk of death in severely ill corona virus patients. basically, scientists are just doing the same thing you do at home when you're sick, and you just go through your medicine cabinet tring random stuff to see if it'll work. "hm, does pepto-bismol cure herpes? it's worth a shot!" and in another big research development, experts are now confident that the virus mostly isn't spread by touching surfaces or brief outdoor contact. instead they're saying there's a consensus that most spreading
11:19 pm
comes from "close-up, person-to-person interactions for extended periods," and "crowded events where people are talking loudly." so basically, this is good news for us. so, basically, the total nightmare scenario for catching coronavirus would be like, i don't know, a big crowded, indoor event where thousands of people are packed together, screaming and chanting about locking someone up. but, luckily, no one would do such a thing. speaking of "no one," president trump and his administration have come under fire for not encouraging americans to take this pandemic seriously, which is unfortunate, because the pandemic is still taking america very seriously. >> this morning, record-breaking one-day increases, arizona, florida and texas all reporting their largest one-day increases in new covid cases. they are among 20 states that have seen the number of newly reported cases grow over the last two weeks. >> both president trump and vice president pence, however, are yet again downplaying the seriousness of the outbreak, blaming testing for the climbing numbers. >> and i can tell you on covid
11:20 pm
or coronavirus, or whatever you want to call it-- plenty of names-- tremendous progress is being made. a lot of cases that other countries who don't even test don't have. if you don't test, you don't have any cases. if we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any. >> trevor: okay, technically, trump is right. if you don't test anybody, then you don't have any cases. the same way if black people stopped recording the cops, we would have zero cases of police brutality. ah, ignorance is bliss. you know what the problem is here, th problem is trump thinks of coronavirus as a p.r. issue and not as a pandemic. he's less concerned with fixing coronavirus ask more concerned with fixing how coronavirus makes him look, which probably explains those pictures he brought to yesterday's press conference. i mean, yeah, it looks better, but it doesn't help. now, if all of this seems a little like deja vu to you, you're not losing your mind.
11:21 pm
china is saying the virus is completely under control, but at the same time, they're shutting down one of their largest cities, and the u.s. is seeing a surge in many states, and yet trump is claiming everything is under control. so, the bad news is the world might be going down a path we've already been down. it's happening all over again! the good news is, that means i know the winning lottery numbers! i'm going to go play that shit right now. don't go away, because after the break, we'll be talking to the president of the human rights campaign alphonso david, and matt ryan, quarterback for the atlanta falcons. we'll be right back. 16, 42, 8-- ah! was it 7?

11:25 pm
earlier today, i spoke with alphonso david, the president of the human rights campaign. we talked about the landmark supreme court ruling this week that protects l.g.b.t.q. workers from discrimination. alphonso, welcome to "the daily social distance show." >> thank you so much for having me. >> trevor: this week saw a major ruling for l.g.b.t.q. + advocates all over america who were petrified that the supreme court would rule that the civil rights act did not protect them, you know. and this ruling came out, and people really breathed a collective sigh of relief. as the president of the human rights campaign, what did this ruling mean for you, and what do you think it meant for everybody out there? >> this ruling is so incredibly
11:26 pm
significant. work is central to our lives. there are so few of us who can afford not to work. and when we work we're able to take care of ours. we're able to take care of our families. and to have the supreme court said l.g.b.t.q. people are protected by federal civil rights laws is so significant because there are so many people that are fearful of coming out at work. they're fearful of telling their coworkers that they got married. they're just fearful of being themselves. at its core, this decision provides a level of dignity to l.g.b.t.q. people. they have been fearful that the court would issue a different ruling, but we're really happy that the court stood on the side, the right side of history. >> trevor: if we look at the ruling, though, a lot of people are worried that this now sets up a battle for people to try and claw back some of those oppressions of the l.g.b.t.q. community. do you have any concerns about that? do you think that there will now be a backlash?
11:27 pm
>> i don't, i don't. what i see this decision as is a reaffirmation of the rule of law. here, we had 20 years of court decisions, 20 years of federal courts saying that l.g.b.t.q. people are, indeed, protected. and the court recognized those cases and said, "we have to respect the rule of law. we have to respect starr stare decisis." and this is so important, particularly now. when we have someone in the white house who doesn't understand the rule of law, he doesn't understand stare decisis, he doesn't understand providing dignity to marginalized communities. so i don't have that fear. i think the court honored the rule of law. >> trevor: after this ruling, whether it was religious leaders, or just conservatives coming out saying this was an oppression of religious freedom. shouldn't a religious person be allowed to fire somebody from their job because they are gay or lesbian or transor qooe. and it seems like it's setting america up for the conflict
11:28 pm
between religious freedoms versus the freedom not to be discriminated against? >> i think that's how they're framing it, but, in fact, the they already have that right. the religious groups and individuals who are claiming this is going to result in the sky falling only need to look at other states that have have had nondiscrimination laws on their books for decades. new york is one of them. new york has had a nondiscrimination statute for l.g.b.t.q. people for a long time, since 2002, and it was recently amended to include gender. the sky didn't fall. religious institutions are still able to protect themselves. so the contention that you need to create a new provision or new laws is just hollow. it doesn't ring true. and i know what they're doing. they're seeking to expand religious libertys. the law already provides for religious protections, and we don't need to expand it. >> trevor: this felt like, you know, an invig rathe win for so many people. where does the fight go from
11:29 pm
here? is it over? is this it? >> no, we are so far from being-- reach whaig view as how do we get to liberation? how do we get to a place where we're liberated as marginalized communities. my position is no marginalized community has achieved liberation in this country. and we have so many battles ahead of us. one is the equality act, a piece of federal alation that would provide protections to l.g.b.t.q. people in other facets of their lives. i'll give you one example. many people are surprised at this. but if i get to an uber, or into a lyft, tonight, there is no federal law that would protect me from discrimination, no statute that would protect me. the equality act provides that protection. the equality act-- state law does. so if i live in new york, state law would protect me. but in most instances, there is no federal protection that exists, and in some cases, no state law protection.
11:30 pm
29 states in this country, 29, do not have comprehensive protections for l.g.b.t.q. people. we also have to fight against violence for the transgender community. this year alone, we've lost at least 15 members of the transgender community. they've been killed. last year, 27. we have so much work to do. but i don't want to detract from this ruling. it's fantastic. it provides us with meaningful protections but we have a lot of work to do. >> trevor: people said, "well, if you see, from this ruling alone, if you work to create laws that protect black people's rights, because of where black people are in society, especially in america, those laws will protect and help so many other people, that the law wasn't intended to help. do you think that this helps to bridge a gap? because we've seen even within the l.g.b.t.q. community where, you know, some people have said, i'm black and i'm gay and i feel like these two worlds sometimes conflict because there isn't a
11:31 pm
camaraderie between them? do you think this might be the bridge? >> i think this is one of the bridges. i agree. as we think about marginalized communities that are fighting to be treated equally, we're all driving in the same direction. we're all driving to make sure that we're respected under the constitution. you know when she they say, "liberty and justice for all," when they talk about "equal protection under the law," it's supposed to be equal. equal protection under the law. and, unfortunately, we see that the application of the law is different, depending on whether or not i'm gay, i'm blark i'm transgender, i'm latinx. so our goal is the same-- getting to that place of equality. and i think for far too long, our policys have been driven by fear. it's always driven by fear. donald trump is driving fear and division as opposed to driving policies of inclusion. how is it that if you protect me from discrimination, you are threatened? how is it that if i'm able to
11:32 pm
work openly as an l.g.b.t.q. person, it compromises the work environment? it doesn't. and that's why i think my liberty, my-- my quest for liberation as a black man is intricately tied with my quest for liberation as a gay man. and i'm hopeful that more people see that. they say that as the l.g.b.t.q. community leaders, we stand on the shoulders of others who came before us. we stand on the shoulders of martin luther king, of rosa parks, of so many people-- fanny lou haimer, who fought and fought and fought, to make sure they were treated with the dignity that they deserve as black people. and they created constructs. they created foundations that we're now using to provide greater protections to l.g.b.t.q. people. >> trevor: well, it's been an amazing week, and as you say, one of the most monumental rulings in american history, especially for the l.g.b.t.q. community. but for everybody who believes in a just and fair society. thank you so much for joining us on the show.
11:33 pm
and i hope you found a way to pop quarantine champagne to celebrate this moment in time. >> tequila for me, tequila. >> trevor: there you have it. alphonso, thank so much for joining us after the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: right after the break, i will be talking to matt ryan, the quarterback for the atlanta
11:34 pm
>> trevor: welcome back to "the daily social distancing show." my next guest is matt ryan. as quarterback for the atlanta falcons, he's won m.v.p. awards and taken his team to the superbowl. and now he's speaking out about social justice and racial inequality. matt ryan, welcome to "the daily social distance show." >> thank you for having me, man. this is a unique experience. >> trevor: it really, really is a unique experience. before we get into the
11:35 pm
conversations in and around race and the protests and everything that's happening, just for you as an athlete, you know-- and that's how so many people know you, as an elite athlete-- what has this period been like? are you training? are you-- are you able to, with out? are you able to create a semblance of a normal life as you prepare what may or may not be an n.f.l. season? >> i'm lucky. i have a good setup in my house to be able to train, make sure i'm get might go running in, make sure i'm getting my weight training. you know, that's nice. but it's been-- you know, it's been different. i think as we've gotten further along,ening i've found ways to properly social distance but also get work with my guys on the field and we've found some places that have allowed us to get out there and get some work done. it's been unique, but you find a way and you figure out, you know, hue to get yourself ready to go, regardless of the circumstances. >> trevor: yeah, and the circumstances genuinely have been unique in this time period. are you in one of the cities in
11:36 pm
america that is experiencing some of the greatest turmoil, you know, atlanta. we've seen ahmaud arbery in georgia. we seen rayshard brooks. we've seen the protests. we've seen the riots. talk me through what you've been experiencing as somebody who calls atlanta home? >> well, it's been difficult to see everything going on, you know, in our city and in our state. your heart goes out to their families and their loved ones. because it's-- you know, it's just deaths that shouldn't have happened. you know, that's been part of me wanting to, you know, speak out and help out in ways that i can. you know, you mentioned, i don't have these otheritize, yo othery professional life right now. we have this time. we have this opportunity to be able to put our energies and our efforts into that, and i think it's an important thing to be able to do that right now
11:37 pm
because we need to make a change. the way things have operated and the way things have gone up to this point isn't good enough. and so, you know, my hope is to be able to, you know, use the platform they have to be able to create awareness and help in the ways that i can help. >> trevor: it's been interesting in how you shared your feelings honestly. you know, you haven't tried to act like you were perfect. you haven't said that, "i figured this thing out." but you also said you want to help as a white person way platform, which is not easy for a lot of people to say because you're so scared of the backlash that may come with that. talk me through that experience and why you felt it was necessary for yourself, as an athlete-- i mean, could easily say, "i'm an athlete. i can't talk about this." why do you think it was important for to you speak out in the way that you have? >> well, number one, you know, in was something that, you know, my friends and my teammates were saying. as i was listening, you know, some of the comments that were made were that, you know, "we appreciate you guys having our
11:38 pm
back and having-- you know, telling us that you support us. but i think it would help more if you did it publicly and you were able to go out and use the platform that you have to, you know, to encourage change." so that was one of the parts, you know, just as a friend and listening to my friends and my teammates, it just seemed like that was the next step that needed to happen. because, you know, what we had been doing up to this point hadn't really worked. so, you know, if you continue to try to do the same things we've done up until this point, you're going to continue to get the same results. so for whatever reasoning, the timing, i just-- i felt like i had to do it because i regretted not doing that up until this point. you know, i regretted just kind of staying on the sidelines and not helping out in the ways that i could. so it really stemmed, you know, from conversations that i've had with my friends about, you know, what can i do to-- to make a
11:39 pm
difference? >> trevor: yeah, and one of the differences you started to make is actually using the resources that you have to give african american members of the atlanta community a leg up. you've started a gofundme. you donated $500,000 of your own dollars to that gofundme. where some people have said, "i'm going to figure this thing out." you said no, i'm going to be talking to black community leaders and figure out where we can get money to the people who need it for whatever they need it for. that is an interesting way to do it. why can ddid you choose that path gichose the path because, number one, i wanted to do something. and, number two, i didn't know how to do it or how to help. and, you know, typically, what i found throughout my life is when it's an area that i don't know the most about, i think it's important to find people that do and find people that you trust and have them kind of guide you
11:40 pm
in the direction you need to go. and so that's what i'm currently in the process of doing. i've had great conversations with probably about eight different people from the-- from the atlanta community right now that are heavily involved at the grassroots level in terms of community organizers, and people that do this every day, that have been trying to make a change for a long time and are much more knowledgeable about the hurdles that we have to jump, but also, the things that we can do that are really going to make an impact immediately and then long term, too. that's kind of, you know, my focus with this is, you know, to make a difference now, for sure, but-- but, you know, not, you know, rush into doing something just to do it because the momentum is there right now. let's do something that's going to impact making change for the long haul.
