day one of the democratic national convention and if you didn't have time to watch, we'll bring you the highlights, as promised. so let's do this, people. welcome to "the daily distancing show" implete from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, "the daily distancing show" presents -- the democratic national convention, elected america's first black president's friend. >> trevor: now, every convention is not just about officially picking the nominee. it's also about telling a story about what the party represents. from the get-go last night, it was clear the democrats were trying to portray themselves as the party of diversity, unity and also patriotism. the show kicked off with people of every race, ethnicity and gender reciting the constitution, then the pledge of allegiance, then singing the

national anthem, after which they were ominously trapped inside an american flag. i'm assuming the only way to set them free is by electing joe biden president. it's clear why the democrats have to lay the patriotism on so thick because between protesting police brutality and kneeling during the anthem, the republicans are tried to make it seem democrats don't love america just because they criticize it. i get why democrats are trying to fight that perception, but if i want t to be honest, you will never beat trump when it comes to symbolic patriotism. you're seeing an anthem but anytime trump sees a flag he tries to (~bleep ) the (~bleep ) out of it. everyday americans, from the swing state of pennsylvania to the other parts of pennsylvania, business owners talked about struggles with covid and trump

voters talked about why they stopt supporting them and thencies tink racism. one of the powerful moments in the show came from a woman whose trump supporting father died from covid 19. >> i am one of the many who lost a loved one to covid. my dad should be here today, but he hasn't. he had faith in donald trump. he voted for him, listened to him, believed him and his mouthpieces when they said that coronavirus was under control and going to disappear. my dad went to a karaoke bar with his friends. a few weeks later, he was put on a ventilator and after five agonizing days, he died alone. his only pre-existing condition was trusting donald trump. one of the last things that my father said to me was that he felt betrayed by the likes of donald trump. >> trevor: wow. that was absolutely scathing. and she's right.

believing donald trump is truly one of the most harmful things you can do. and that was even before he wasup. just ask atlantic city, his first two wives or any graduate of trump university -- the degree was made of asbestos! but after hearing from regular americans, it was time to hear from america's weirdest americans, politicians. one to have the biggest speakers to have the night was republican john kasich, the former governor of ohio and guy whose always moments away from needing the heimlich maneuver. he crossed party lines to warn his fellow republicans about the cost of supporting trump. >> america's at a crossroads. sometimes elections represent a real choice, a choice we make as individuals and as a nation about which path we want to take when we've come to challenging times. america is at that crossroads today. the stakes in this election are greater than any in modern times. many of us have been deeply concerned about the current path

we have been following for the past four years. it's a path that's led to division, dysfunction, irresponsibility and growing vitriol between our citizens. continuing to follow that path will have terrible consequence force america's soul because we're being taken down the wrong road by a president who has pitted one against the other. he's unlike all of our best leaders before him who worked to unit us to bridge our differences and lead us to a united america. >> trevor: wow, how creative -- america is at a crossroads and he's standing at a crossroads. i wonder if that was intentional. hey, man, i'm just glad kasich went with a safe metaphor like america was at a crossroads because he could have gone with a much more dangerous one. america is in a flame that's about to crash and the only parachute has been thrown out to have the window! wait, maybe this was a bad idea. understandably, a lot of

progressives counter-happy to see the d.n.c. giving air to a republican who doesn't share values. at the same time, many in the democratic party know in order to difeet trump they have to improve the appeal with the crucial states that gave trump the white house in 2018. so if it means teaming up with antirepublicans, so be it. this reminds me of godzilla. you know how we hated godzilla because he smashed our shit? then gadora showed up and wanted to destroy the entire planet. so we have to team up with godzilla to take out godoro. who would think we would be with godzilla? but we've got a planet. sorry, i have been watching weird movies during quarantine. don't get it twisted -- kasich may have spoken at the

convention, but the prime spots are saved for democratic heavy hitters including bernie sanders. >> together, we must build a nation that is more equitable, more compassionate and more inclusive. i know that joe biden will begin that fight on day one. joe supports raising the major to $15 an hour. joe will rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and fight the three of climate change by transitioning us to 100% clean electricity over the next 15 years. gobbled will end the hate and division trump has created. >> trevor: and then we can finally go back to the hate and division that existed before trump. you know, the regular hate and division, not this crazy shit with the red hats and the boats. what the hell is that? i'm really impressed with bernie sanders because he's doing everything in his power right now to take down donald trump. not only is he giving a

full-throwed endorsement of joe biden, but the man stayed up until 10:00 to give that speech. that's not nothing. bernie's point was very clear. he was telling his base that progressives cannot afford to cast protest votes like they did in 2016 because this shit we lived there, this was four years of trump still caring about being reelected. imagine what he would be like unleashed. forget pardoning other people. give an second term, he will be pardoning crime. he will be robbing banks, like, all right, everybody, get on the ground. pardoned. put the money on the ground. pardoned. ma'am, i love your boobs. pardoned. pardoned. so people across the spectrum needs to unit against donald trump. i'm impressed, i mean, a virtual convention has never happened before but democrats strung

appearances across the country from john kasich in a field to bernie sanders. the night didn't go entirely smoothly. >> good evening. i'm congressman jim clyburn -- >> stand by. >> good afternoon, i'm congressman jim clyburn. >> hello, america. >> the price of failure is just too great to imagine. thank you. ( applause ) >> trevor: oh, i see what's going on here. this was smart of the democrats, trying to make it seem like they have the same embarrassing tech issues as regular americans. very relatable! and you've got to feel bad for bernie sanders, man -- an

awkwardly-timed applause can ruin any speech, no matter how good it is. >> ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. ( cheers and applause ) ( applause ) >> trevor: now, the truth is nobody remembers all the glitches and the bad timing because all anybody was talking about today was the democrats' closer, former first lady and walking vision board michelle obama. >> i understand that my message won't be heard by some people. we live in a nation that is deeply divided, and i am a black woman speaking at the democratic convention, but enough of you know me by now. you know i tell you exactly what i'm feeling. you know i hate politics. but you also know that i care about this nation more than

150,000 people have tied and our economy is in shambles because of a virus this president downplayed for too long. donald trump is the wrong president for our country. he has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. he cannot meet this moment. he simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. it is what it is. >> trevor: ooof! that was ice cold. and what made it even more devastating was that michelle obama wasn't angry, she wasn't yelling, she just stated trump's complete failure as a president as an obvious fact. you know the difference between your mom screamingt at you and your mom casually sipping a coffee going, well, not all kids can be winners. another thing i appreciated about michelle's speech is she

didn't shame people. in the last few years, it's been standard in politics to shame people who don't agree with you and who don't intend to vote like you. a lot is fueled by toxicity of online culture and a divided country right now, but instead of doing that, michelle acknowledged there are people who don't want to hear what she had to say, and then respectfully engaged with those who might want to listen to her and asked them to back biden. that's what made her speech brilliant. it's almost unfair that the obama family was blessed with two charismatic or ove or cars . then you have trump. it wasn't surprising donald trump wasn't as impressed by michelle's speech but the reason was surprising. >> she was over her head and frankly she should have made the

speech live which she didn't do, she taped it. it was taped a long time ago because she had the wrong death- >> trevor: goddam, that is one of the biggest cell phones i have ever seen. 150,000 dead? i've killed 20,000 more since then, you idiot! hey, herman! get a load of this idiot. herman? that's how democrats kicked off their convention. if democrats can more speeches like michelle obama's then it's going to be a matter of time before america disturbance donald trump into donald dumped. ( applause ) tough room. we've got to take a quick break. when we come back, we'll celebrate the 100th anniversary of white women getting the right to vote. so stick around. >> i have a new deal for the american people.

>> and we stand today on the edge of a new frontier. >> there is not a liberal america and a conservative america, there is the united states of america. >> are my hands showing when i'm up here? >> yes, yes. >> they are? >> yeah -- >> they'll zoom in a little bit more. >> is that a terrible thing to have my hands showing? >> yes.

posthumous presidential pardon for susan b. anthony, arrested and convicted for illegally voting in the 1872 election. >> i will be signing a full and complete pardon for susan b. anthony. she was never pardoned. did you know that? she was never pardoned. what took so long? ( applause ) >> trevor: oh! so now voting illegally is okay. i mean, look, this is kind of a nice gesture, i guess, but based on what we know about trump, i bet he's only pardoning her because he thinks she has dirt on him. susan b. anthony was a great figure in the women's suffrage movement and knows how to keep her mouth shut, great thing. as important as this date is, the passage of the 19t 19th amendment didn't help all women. >> this month is the 100th an sears of is 19th amendment which gave him the right to vote

and pose for i voted stickers. while the 19th amendment was a major victory for white women, the story isn't so simple for black women. the road to the 1st amendment started in 1848 with the seneca falls convention. the first women's meet up in american history. before that the only time women could gather is to catch a bouquet. i don't use flowers, beverly! assuming you didn't sleep through 10th graduate grade history, you probably know elizabeth stanton, lecresia mott and frederic douglas got his hair pressed especially for the occasion. but black women wasn't allowed to come. the roster was a bunch of white people and one black guy. looked like the mission impossible movement. black women were fighting for suffrage throughout the 19t

19th century. susan p.m. anthony should be stepping aside to let a black lady shine for once. mary terrell was incredibly influencel in advancing the cause for women's suffrage and delivered a speech to white activists about intersectional feminism. seeking no favors because of our color, we knock at the bar of justice asking for an equal chance. she's a better woman than me. i would have knocked somebody up the side of the head with the bar of justice. at the reel isn't alone. harriet tubman and others pushed the vote along with mary ann shakerry and harper. fighting sexism and racism at the same time. you know how hard that is? you can't take your eye off either one for a second. if you're face to face with sexism. racism will sneak up on you like one of those creatures in

"jurassic park." thanks to all this, president woodrow wilson endorsed a call for constitutional amendment to legalize women's voting. susan b. anthony movement in summary of 1919, and in 1920 tennessee ratified the 19t 19th amendment of the constitution which means all women could legally vote in federal elections and we all lived happily ever after. lie! buckle up, cinderella, because we ain't done yet. while white women got to stroll to the polls, black women like black men faced haj observe stacks also throughout the 20th century, poll taxes, literacy test and violence. if america put as much brain power into science as it did to deny black people to vote, we would live in mansions run by

robot butlers. yes, jeeves, i will have another drink. in 1965, president johnson signed the act that outlopped obstruction of voting. but it was harder because they shut down polling stations in black neighborhoods. even though we know the 19t 19th amendment was worth celebrating, america has work to do to ensure truly equal access to elections. so this august you can celebrate susan bpt anthony but you better support candidates who finally finished the job for everyone. excuse me. i'm about to seduce the postman to make sure he delivers my mail-in ballot on time and because he's fine. i see you in those shorts, gerald. mm-hmm. you can get it same day, overnight. >> trevor: thank you for that, dulce. when we come back, i'll be speaking with the one and only common. stay tuned.

activist who fights for people to be treated more fairly in the prison population, and now we're going to be talking to common as the man who's starting like a fitness brand, a fitness and wellness brand. tell me about that. >> yeah, trevor, it's a health and wellness series called common well and, really, everything you named with me is aligned with purpose. if your overall purpose is to inspire people, to spread god's love, to enlighten and bring joy, and this series is really about healthen wellness. it's been a journey for me to understand myself more in a good way, like working out, eating better, meditation, and, you know, like therapy. i even got introduced to gardening by the geto gardner named ron finley on the series. so, to me, trevor, health and wellness for me has been a way to combat when all of the he can tick, the chaos, the fight that

we got going against, you know, the leadership, i'm like, man, i've got to build myself up, i've got to feel greater about myself and go out there and do the good fight, you know. >> trevor: yeah. >> what do you do, trevor? do you do anything to stay, like, in that health and wellness thing? >> trevor: you can't interview me when i'm interviewing you. you're trying to trick me into giving away the fact that i don't work out. you're trying to make me feel bad because now i'm going to say, oh, i eat ice cream once a day and then finally do a -- and sometimes do a few pushups. you're just trying to make me look bad. >> no, you look good, man. you got the right sweatshirts, you go the right look. we're just going to add a couple of pushups to that, a couple of little situps and some vegetables. >> trevor: what i love about what you have been talking about and what you're starting to do is you're trying to encourage people to look inward, to encourage them to go, hey, man,

i get that you're protesting, involved in bricks, working and trying to survive during this time, but none of that works if you yourself are not working on the inside. and i think we take that for granted as people, just meditating, taking a moment to breathe, getting the body moving. it seems like a frivolous thing but it's really important. i feel like you've always been like that as a human. when you say you're doing more of that, what changed in your world? i've only known common to be a guy who's healthy and conscious of who he is. >> i started off on the southside of chicago eating barbecue pork, not working out, drinking beer, doing anything. i'm not knocking any of those things, but eventually, at a certain point, i just felt like i wanted to be better in my craft and better as a person. >> trevor: right. >> and i started taking steps. it was, like, adding different things to my diet, paying more attention to myself. and i started to be clearer.

i felt more empowered, you know, and i felt like i was more of myself. how that is enhanced during this period, to be honest, trevor, is what you said, i have been able to spend more time doing it. like sometimes, you know, because our days are busy, you know, before the pandemic, i would get up and do my meditation and just be quick, quick with the prayer, you know, and now i get time to spend wit, i get to appreciate it. something you said, trevor, is super important, i always say it. it's no activism without self-activism, really, meaning i want to go help the world, i want to help people's lives and change the world, i want to be a part of political change, but, man, if i'm not good, i can't get my full self to that work. >> trevor: one thing we can't deny is america is especially really good at convincing people being healthy is expensive and is good at making unhealthy choices the cheaper ones. if you come from a poorer community and household, it's

easier to reach for a bag of chips. it's easier to eat unhealthy food. some people are trapped in the cycle. i was conned wondering if you're going to tackle this in a series and say how do we exist in a world, like ghetto gardens, like how do we exist in a world where we get people to say, yo, you may not have money to do the fancy things that a lot of people used to stay healthy, but these are cheaper things that you can help maintain your health as well. >> yeah, well, this show is geared towards that, but we really break it down to a raw level where you don't have to go work out at some gym or have all the super equipment to work out. it's also, like, just, as far as foods go, it's just adding certain vegetables to your diet and adding certain greens and, also, with the gardening, you can grow your own food wherever you are, in the hood, no matter what that takes. >> trevor: right.

>> and i think, you know, and for meditation, it's just, like, finding your own space. i want this common health for people in the hood and abroad. but it's really targeted towards making sure that, no matter how poor you are or what economic structure you are in, you can do this, man, and we deserve that. and i feel like that is one of the things that helps elevate us, that helps us feel better about ourselves. >> trevor: i feel you've always been at elevation. i wonder what you hope to achieve by performing at the democratic national convention. i know you will be one to have the people who's performing. you take your performances seriously. you try to pick a song that has a message and try to get something across. what do you think people need most now that you're trying to give them? >> at the democratic national convention wes performed "glory," john legend and i. in the steps of dr. king and the

men and the women of the civil rights movement, we of today want to bring people by extracting all of the negative energy and not even, like, putting our minds towards that but really focusing on how we can come together and how we can uplift each other, how, like, we can spread love to each other, and that fight, man, i'm a fighter. you know, i talk about love but i fight with love, too, meaning, part of my combatant, the leadership we have now is going out and doing for our people and bringing awareness about voting and voting for the right people. trevor, i'm educating myself right now on like a lot of candidates is running down the ticket so i can go to states and educate people who are from these communities and say, hey, man, there are some good people running your state. we have an organization, myself and alicia keys and a few other

artists called "urgency 2020", and, man, i'm really ebb thewed about that because we're going to take, of course, the biden kamala ticket is beautiful, but we also want to make sure that people down the ticket are made aware of and we go out and get these votes. so that's part of what, you know, for me, "glory" is for that. it's fighting with love. >> trevor: i love that, man. you are combative in your love. that sounds like what my mom would say when she would whip my ass, i'm combative in my love. common, thanks so much for joining me on the show. i appreciate you. can't wait to see you again. look out for yourself. >> peace, love, brother. >> trevor: thank you so much, common. when we come back, veronica chambers will talk to us about her brand-new book that shows you the suffrage movement in a way you've never seen. 11ó]= to

"the daily distancing show." earlier today, i spoke with "new york times" editor veronica chambers. we talked about the 100th anniversary of american women getting the vote and about her new book on the suffrage movement. veronica chambers, welcome to "the daily distancing show." >> thank you. it's nice to be socially distancing from you. >> trevor: i really appreciate having you on the show because you've done something that i honestly think is one of the most crucial things ever and that is writing a book that teaches people about history and, although you've written it

predominantly nor middle schoolers, i feel everyone should read it because it's about the suffrage movement in america and women fighting for the right to vote. what's interesting is it tells a part of history that's oftentimes overlooked. why did you think this book was so crucial? >> about a year and a half or more we were thinking we knew the anniversary of the 19t 19th amendment was coming up and we gathered in a room at the "new york times" and said what do we know. turned out, not a lot. the idea from writing the middle grade book is what journalists do is explain it to me like i was a ten-year-old. to do that, you have to learn a lot to distill it and that's what we did. it kind of shaped everything, including all the coverage we're doing now. >> trevor: i won't lie. one thing i found interesting in the way you wrote the stories is they seem pretty bad-ass. normally when you read about the suffrage movement it can be portrayed as they asked for the

right to vote and asked again and again, but you portray them as really tactical geniuses in politics. >> we had a round table of hiss tore yans and kate lamay from the smith sewnies says suffrage needs a we are write. this is not boring, these are bad-ass political strategists that worked for 90 years to get the work done. so that stuck in my head and i let that infuse the writing. i fell in love with these women. they became, like, my heroes and i couldn't believe i didn't grow up knowing about them. >> trevor: this book is about the women who fought for their right to vote. it's also the story, which is really difficult, of how women fought for the right to vote but not all of those women were treated equally when the vote was given to women. tell me a little bit more about that. >> well, you know, the suffrage movement really has its history in abolition, the movement and

slavery, and the civil war comes up and the 15th amendment is up. they decide to push for black men to get the vote before white. we we have the cultural moment of the carnes. the carnes of 1t 189th century are basically how dare these men just off plantations get the right to vote before us and it really sets up a pecking order which we see today which is white men, white women, black men, black women, and there's a cache and it really breaks apart the movement and it's difficult and it sets the tone for a lot. but i will say that i think what emily crenshaw said about black women showing up and showing out, you see it so much in history. 1810s, 1820s, black women in seneca false are giving speech about rights and it's about opening the door as wide as you can get it for as many people as

you can get it. >> trevor: susan b. anthony is someone people look up to and say if it weren't for her women wouldn't have the right to vote. but she has a complicated history as a journalist and writer. how did you navigate that story as someone who did something so amazing but had extremely problematic views and tried to hold other people back. >> you hit the nail on the head with the challenges. i remember sitting in a meeting and someone said we should do a chapter called susan b. anthony is canceled. i said we're not canceling people in history. sorry. we're just not. it's so flip and whatever. the fact is that she dedicated her whole life to it. the movement took so long, only one woman who signed in seneca falls lived to vote in 1920. that's how long the movement took. we can just say some people have problems and we can hold a

complicated view and appreciate them for what they did and know they have problems and proposefully teach our kids to learn from that. >> trevor: yes, you have white women who have the right to vote but are joined by black women who have a right to vote and inspired the movement. you have asian women and latinx women who are fighting for the right to vote. it paints not just a diverse but a superhero picture of this band of people who fought in different ways for this right. do you think it's important for us to reframe the story and tell it with all of the color, excuse the pun, that it truly deserves? >> we think about diversity as ticking boxes, but when you get into the story of these women of color in suffrage, they are futuresque. they are thinking not about just themselves but future directions. this 17-year-old led one of the largest suffrage parades in

history knowing the chinese exclusion act meant she wouldn't be able to vote in 1920. these suffragettes were not just thinking about themselves. that's what i try to teach my daughter and her friends is you don't have to have likes to be a bad-ass, you just have to do the right thing, be focused and listen to your heart and try to help people, you know. >> trevor: when kids are read you can book, what would you like them to take and apply to today? what would you hope they try and inspire themselves to try to think about for tomorrow? they can do, everyone can vote, so i guess the job is done. what do you hope they garner from this so they may not necessarily immediately jump to. >> it's funny you saying that. i remember being in school and thinking, oh, the civil rights movement is done, i'll never have to fight that battle again. i think the one thing i would love for kids to know is there's never just one thing going on at one time, and that's why it's actually hard to make a movement

because white suffrage estests , like, we have to focus on women, and then barnett comes in and says we have to talk about lynching, and then others come in and say we have to talk about child labor laws and safe factory conditions for poor women. the fact is that's the complicated thing about making a difference is knowing that nothing is happening in isolation and really the trick of working through coalition and building and movement is being able to hear the voices around you and gathering together to do the work of many issues. that is the challenge of leadership, and i hope the book gives a little bit of a glimpse of how these amazing women did that. >> trevor: i hope someone gets books like these to the white house because i think they've not just fantastic for kids but for adults who may read at a child's level. so thank you so much for joining us on the show and congratulations observe creating a wonderful, wonderful book that everybody should know about.
