1:14 am
it's all out in the open now. i wouldn't have had to kill the smurfs if they would've simply moved on, but you gave them the will to stay. and i guess you can't be blamed for that. - what? - and that is why... i am stepping down. you were right all along, cartman. and i am hereby making you the student body president. - all right! cartman's president! we did it. - i'm confused. - dude, you can't take my dances with smurfs idea and turn it into your own thing. - no, you're right. the students all deserve to know the truth. and so i have answered what really happened in my new book-- going rogue on the smurfs. - no, no, dude. you don't just take one person's story and then add a couple things and call it yours! - luckily, with the money i made selling the movie rights to my book, i'll be okay. - you sold the movie rights? to who? - james cameron. go look. the movie came out already. - they can't do that! i'm student body president! oh, god damn it! son of a bitch! idea-stealing assholes! you sons a bitches! dances with smurfs was my idea! my idea!
1:15 am
[grunting loudly] you can't just take dances with smurfs and call it something else! [grunting loudly] [school bell rings] [groans] - dude, what happened? you're not doing the morning announcements anymore? - no, because it turns out that by rule, the student body president can't also be the morning announcement reader! - oh, well. at least as president, you can run the school the way you want. - i can't do jack! i went to my first student council meeting! all we did was talk about what colors to make the stupid sadie hawkins dance! student council is retarded! [chime sounding] - the sun is up, and the birds are chirping. i'm casey miller, and these are the morning announcements. i have a letter from second grade student brian felner. brian writes, "dear casey, "why is our school president such a fat, stupid dickhead? "my desk is broken, "and so far, eric cartman has done nothing about it. "will you please let that walking bowl of anus pus know that we are not happy?" well, brian, i couldn't agree more. our asshole president is a fat, smelly, douche bag milkshake.
1:16 am
- i'm doing the best i can! [crying] captioning by captionmax www.captionmax.com >> trevor: hey, what's going onk welcome to the daily social distancing show, i'm trevor noah today is wednesday the 18th of november which mean there is only 53 days left until the white house chefs can cook vegetables again. anyway coming up on tonight's show, new york found the perfect christmas tree for 2020. lewis black predicts donald trump's future and olympic star lindsay vonn joins us on the show, so let's do this, welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> 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 christmas. the only day of the year that you hope an intruder will sneak into your home. yesterday was the official start
1:17 am
of the holiday season. as new york city put up its world famous rockefeller center christmas tree. and just like everything else in 2020, thissier's tree is doing the best it can. >> the rockefeller christmas tree in new york city is usually lifts our spirits this time of year. but this area well let's just say that by 2020 standards, it's pretty perfect. the tree was put into place atop of rockefeller center. >> look at all the holes and it just kind of, i don't know, it kind of loosks look a very, like a charlie brown tree, like a large version of the charlie brown tree. >> trevor: into, no, no, no. you leave that poor tree alone. >> you already killed if, now you are going to make fun of its appearance. who are you people, do you do this at funerals too, damn, uncle mark, you got fat, look at you, you can't even fit in that casket, anyway, rest in peace, we're going to miss you. i mean think about it, that tree has been through a pandemic, a
1:18 am
race war and a contested election. i think it deserves a round of applause for just staying upright. and by the way, it's not like that tree asked to be displayed to the world right now. it clearly needed more time to fill out, to look good. that tree wasn't prepared imagine if you are going to a big party but they grabbed you while were you getting dressed and everyone at the party is like wow, just an undershirt and socks? you guys didn't give me time, i was going to president on spanx. and besides i think putting up a tree like this is actually very responsible of new york city. the last thing we need in the mid evil a pandemic say big beautiful tree that draws a giant crowd. with this tree, it is easy for everyone to be six feet apart. but let's move on to the human version of that tree. >> donald jiggy with a trump. in his continuing effort to find an alternative result to the 2020 election trump on twitter has already claimed victory in both pennsylvania and michigan. congratulations, trump, you're president on twitterment but in
1:19 am
reality, both of those states are making like melania and slapping his grubby little paws away. >> the pennsylvania supreme court ruled that republican observers in philadelphia were given proper access under state law to view vote counting. it is the latest in a string of legal defeats for president trump and his last-ditch effort to challenge results in states that he's lost. >> new election drama unfolded in michigan. >> a public zoom call turned tense after two republican canvassers in wayne county which includes detroit initially dropped the move to certify election results. >> shame on you. shame on you for leading to this level of corruption. >> you talked about not certifying detroit even though you acknowledge that livonia, a city by the way i know you know is 95% white has bigger var yanses than detroit which is 80% black. >> president trump praised the attempt to challenge certification, tweeting having courage is a beautiful thing.
1:20 am
but minutes later the panel changed course, unanimously certifying the presidential result. >> trevor: whooo, what a roller coaster. basically what happened was the republicans on this commission tried to disenfranchise detroit voters. but people on the zoom call shut that down by exposing their hypocrisy. an just think about how 2020 has changed everything. like it used to be that someone would say oh, i saw martin luther king, jr. speak tow lincoln memorial. but in 20 years it would be like i saw this dude in an orange pole yet yell at a racist, i think it was ted or ed, it was so good. and it is especially impressive that that guy could be so morally compelling because it is not easy to be earn gaging on the gloonl. you are lose all emotion. i bet you if mlk had been on zoom he wouldn't have been as impressive. >> i have a dream-- i have a dream that one day we will-- oh dammit, my cat has pee dd on the
1:21 am
bed again, whiskers what did i tell but jumping on the bed and doing that when you got your litter box. so on the one hand it is great that this election board scheme was stopped. but on the other hand you know things are going bad when an election board is making national news am because i will be honest, before yesterday i had never heard of a four-person canvassing board or wayne county or michigan. now while it's true that no unwith has turned up evidence of widespread fraud, georgia just finished recounting its votes. and they found 2600 ballots that had not been counted. with most of those votes being votes for trump. that means trump could lose georgia by around 13,000 votes instead of 14,000 votes, all right. but it still shows you two things, one, elections aren't perfect and mistakes can end up costing candidates votes. but two, it shows that donald trump is so far behind that nothing he can do will help him. here is the truth, whether you
1:22 am
agree with donald trump or not, you can't deny that discovering thousands of votes weren't counted is definitely makes some people doubted the validity of an election. especially if your side lost. imagine if after hillary's loss people found out that wisconsin didn't count thousands of votes. liberal twitter would have lost its mind. so don't be surprised that the magazineaverse is doing it now. and yes, yes, donald trump made up these voter fraud claims. i don't deny that. but uncounted ballots for joe biden as well, by the way, makes trump look right. you know it is like if your partner accused you of cheating and you weren't, but then tinder sends you a notification saying it found you a match, would you loose your shti, baby this was from two years ago, i updating i don't use tinder, please don't leave me. but let's move on to our big story. because whatever he thinks on twitter, i think donald trump understands that in real life he's not going to be president
1:23 am
after january 20th. and the reason i think that is because ever since election day, he and his administration have been working overtime to rush through polingsees an regulatory changes as fast as they can. so let's take a look at some of the things trump is trying to squeeze in on his way out. in our new segment, donald trump go big and go home. first up, in trump's lame duck flameout military action, the president is getting out of wars that he doesn't want to be in and maybe getting into one that he does. >> u.s. military commanders being given their orders moments ago. acting defense secretary christopher miller announcing that the majority of troops will be pulled out of the region just five days before joe biden is inaugurated. there will still actually though be 2500 troops in both iraq and afghanistan. the decision from president
1:24 am
trump comes despite warnings from military leaders like recently removed defense secretary mark ease per that-- esper that continues haven't been met for withdrawal. >> president trump considered a military strike against iran during a peting just last week. >> sources confirmed to abc that trump asked his top national security advisors what options were available to take out those nuclear sites but trump was talked out of military action with those top aides warning him it could lead to a bigger conflict. >> trevor: hold up. trump wants to end a war in iraq but start one in iran? i don't know if he can pull that off, guys. first off, there is no way trump knows the difference between iraq and iran. and secondly, he's only got two months left in office. so if he goes to war with iran he will have to speed run it, you know, he will be par chuting into tehran like go go go, bomb bomb bomb, we were-- step, step, jump, jump, done.
1:25 am
and no matter what anyone says, this is going to be whiplash for those american troops. because this is a conflicting message, right. yay, we're going home, wait, why are we going to tehran, is waze acting up again. here is the thing, even if you think it is a good idea to end wars, it is very stressful when it is donald trump and he's on a two month time line. i mean donald trump's whole career has been a failed game of monopoly so i don't feel great about him playing a speed version of risk. moving on to alaska. america's hard to reach top shelf. the state is home to the largest area of untouched wilderness in the united states. and donald trump has just two months left to change that. >> with his days numbered in the white house president trump is rushing to auction off oil & gas drilling rights to the arctic national refuge in alaska. >> the president is trying to lock in the drilling lights for this national wildlife refuge of before president-elect joe biden takes office in 65 days, what is the trump administration did
1:26 am
today is they started the process of leasing off tracts of land in that wildlife refuge known as anwar asking drillers to take tracts of land where they would like to drill on and that sets off a 30 day clock before a sale date is actually announced. >> hell ya yeah bashee, donald trump lost the election, all hell no, guess what, none of us are going to be breathing easy, ha ha, this is a bad thing, right. at this point trump is just stripping america for parts. he just there in his yard like throw in another 50 bucks and i will give you the constitution. between you and me it barely workings any more. but i think it is obvious what he is doing. trump thinks if he sells off enough of america, in won't be anything left for joe biden to be president of. he is going to be like here's the key, joe, you've got the white house, you've got the sidewalk and everything else belongs to exon. and finally, chicken. birds that always look like they
1:27 am
just-- some shit. americans eat $9-- 9 billion chickens every single year and president trump apparently wanters one of his last acts in office to be meeting that demand. >> the trump administration is proposing a new rule that will allow chicken slaughter houses to process bird morse quickly. the proposal raises some maximum line speed by 25% to 175 chickens per minute. st unclear if the administration will be able to get the change approved before president trump leaves office. >> it's almost like trump is trying to be the worst president for every species. humans, wolves and now even chickens. why does he want to kill chickens faster? i mean it sounds like they made him wait three minutes for kfc order once and he was like this can never happen ever again. and let's be clear. the reason that this there is a speed limit on chicken production lines is to give powl tree inspectors time to make sure the meat is safe and to
1:28 am
make sure the workers are less likely to injure themselves. the last thing you want is for your chinger fingers to come with actual fingers. although it is possible he don't know any of this. he might just assume this is a military decision because he still thinks colonel sanders is one of the joint cheefers. but regardless, why is he spending time on this. doesn't this guy know that corona is out of control right now. sir, too many people are dying in the streets. coronavirus is going crazy in america. >> i hear you loud and clear jaim, we have got to kill more chickens to even it out. >> trevor: so that is how trump has spent his time since election day. and if trump has decided to do all of this in the first two weeks after the election, can you imagine what else he can do in the next eight we cans? oh, we should all just pray that he never realizes the nuclear football can be used for more than just throwing at eric. all right, we'll take a quick break but when we come back we'll check in with lewis black. and don't forget lindsay vonn is

1:36 am
and consider that maybe they would be happier not living in a constant state of seeting rage and grieveance. >> trevor: that actually sounds nice, do you think that is really what they will do? >> no! they're finding somewhere else to guzzle their cocktail of made up bullshit. right wing fanatics haven't bled like this since they were buying tickets to argentina at the end of world war two. and lucky for them small outlets like newsmaksz tv and oan are offering a new place to call home. >> trump won the election. will win the recount, will win in court. he won. and the only thing democrats can do is trick all of us into believing he didn't. >> stop declaring biden as the winner. because it ain't over yet. >> they're trying to convince us that joe biden have more of the popular vote than any other president in history. mathematically that sim possible. >> that's right. >> right now joe biden is pretending to be the president-elect. and it say little bit sad.
1:37 am
>> president-elect joe biden, i don't think so. i just don't think so. it doesn't look right it doesn't sound right. it doesn't feel right. >> remember the heavyweight champion joe frazzier, he died eight years ago, he voted two years ago, the actor will smith has a grandfather who died about four years ago. he has voted in the last two elections. and that number no is growing. i think it's up to 700 dead people who voted in philadelphia. >> god. >> isn't it great, trevor. joe frazzier and will smith's grandad are voting together. it ask amazing how exciting the news can be when you just make it up. >> trevor: okay, but lewis, this is the first time i have ever heard of these channel, like is anyone really watching them. >> you bhet your liberal bubble ass they are. these networks are thriving. at the end of october newsmax averaged 65,000 viewers but just
1:38 am
a week after the election some of these shows are breaking a million viewers. that is corona level growth. and good luck trying to vaccinate against stupid, pfizer. and trevor, when i see how the right wing media is exploiting its gullible viewers it makes me sad. and also jellous. i want in. >> trevor: you want in, what does that even mean, lewis. >> it means i'm starting my own network. you saw what newsmax and oan look like. all it takes is a few bargain basement graphics, no editorial standards and a tenuous grip on reality. this is a job i was born for. check it out. >> are you sick of those comies at fox news spewing their left wig propaganda? then sign up for le-w he z amax t vrk. will you get the political incites you crave from the angriest man on tv.

[heavy breathing] rated rp to t. welcome back to the daily social distancing show. earlier today i spoke with congresswoman lucy mcbath of georgia, we talked about her state aes importance in this election and how losing her son to gun violence motivated her to become the the welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> thank you, trevor, i'm so excited to be with you, i have to be honest with you. my youngest sister is your biggest fan. and my family has always said, you know, when are you going to be on his show, once you are on his show you really made it. >> trevor: wow. >> so thanks for validating me. >> trevor: wow. i like how they've shifted
1:45 am
priorities. because in my world, becoming a congresswoman and living the life that you have lived and how you got there, many people know your story. but for those without don't, you started your story from a place that i feel many people should start in politics and that say personal place. you were a flight attendant for most of yr life. you lost your son to gun violence. and you didn't just mourn his passing, you decided to step up and do something about it, so you ran to change not just his world but the world and how america sees guns. so in my world, you have made it. and we are going to talk about all of that today. so thank you so much for joining us on the show. let's start first talking about georgia, because that is what is really in the news right now. georgia has become what many people thought it would never, a battleground state. when you look at what has happened in georgia, do you think that this is georgia changing or do you think that this is georgia responding to donald trump?
1:46 am
>> georgia is changing. trevor as i have been saying for years now, that this is the new south. and i think the resistance that we've seen is just that, the resistance to the new south. and just the amazing that has been done, strategizing that has been done. the grassroots organizing that has been done, i knew we would be a top tier battleground state. so i have been telling people all along. please invest in georgia, the best is yet to come. and we've shown that. you know, we made president trump a one-term president and we've actually been able to-- able to be a deciding state for you know president-elect joe biden and kamala harris, so yeah, the south is changing. and i'm glad that this keep sake has the ability to be on the front lines of that. >> trevor: reading your memoir, it is inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. because you read this tale of a woman who goes through the gripping experience of losing her son. your son was shot by a man who
1:47 am
felt like his friend was playing the music too loud in the car. that was it. and then tried to use stand your ground laws to defend what he had done in taking his life. you then used it and that has become part of the title of your book, is standing our ground. what do you think it about the coalition of mothers that you formed around the country that has moved the idea of gun advocacy forward. >> well, as a mother, as women, we are the central focus of our homes oftentimes. we are the protectors. we are often providers. and we want to make sure that when we send our family out the door, when we send our quhirn out the door that they come home safely. we do everything that we can. and so building this grassroots coalition of mothers and also survivors is really indicative of what we need to do, what we will have to do to make sure that we are providing safe spaces for our children and our families in our own communities. and that is what we have been doing. and you know, over 90% of the americans across the country believe in, you know, gun safety
1:48 am
legislation, common sense legislation that really will provide safety nets for our families. and also making sure that a law-abiding gun owners are using their guns in a way that is providing a safety net as well when they are using those guns. >> a lot of people in your position would have become a single issue candidate, a lot of people in your position would have gone all i'm here to talk about is guns but you're actually looking to improve health care torque improve gun reform, to improve veteran's health care, you know, and the support that veterans get. and you really have been fighting for a lot of these issues which surprisingly as a democrat, you have gotten signs by donald trump, not once, not twice but three times, so the magic question is how have you managed to work laws or create ideas that have gotten-- from republicans who have been able
1:49 am
to block different ideas. >> i have always reached across the aisle to find some common ground with my republican colleagues that we could work upon. because when we don't work together, we end up in the mess that we've been in, you know, for so long now. because we've not been working together for the sake of our constituents that are really depending on us on in washington every day to create value for them. our constituents all have the same wants and let's work together to provide the best of what america says they deserve. >> representative jim clieburn said something interesting. this suave enthe results coming in, and it was apparent joe bierden had won but down ballots democrats seemed to have taken a beating. he said there is no denying that defund the police and abolish the police and socialism hurt the democrats message-- message. as somebody who is elected in a state that is really moderate
1:50 am
and very close, how do you communicate some of these ideas. like is there a different way that you communicate progressive ideas without isolating republican or moderate voters? >> i wish we are had been able to pick up more sights for the house. but we have to find what works within your own community. that is what i have said to my colleagues all the time is that what i say or what i represent to my community might be completely different from another community. from another one of my colleagues. i would love for us to be able to hold on to some of the-- some of my colleagues that came in with me, my freshman colleagues, i was very pained by the fact that they won't be returning with us. but there again, i think that each of us has been able to just really speak very candidly to our own constituent, all of the demographics are different. but as i said, you know, there are a lot of different voices in this caucus and that is what makes it so unique. >> i will be honestk i think that is one of the things that makes you unique is that not
1:51 am
only are you a symbol of that but you articulate it so well to everybody who takes the time to listen. thank you so much for sharing your story in the book, thank you so much for coming on the show and thank you to your family who thinks that i am the thing that-- i don't agree with you i appreciate them, so thank you so your younger sister because between me and her she is right, she is not right but between me and her she is very right. >> thank you, trevor. i want to say this, that so much for having susm a deep conversation with me, because it reminded me about the conversations i used to have at the kitchen table with jordan, so thank you for that. >> trevor: thank you very much, that means the world to me. >> take care. >> trevor: don't forget, congresswoman's memoir standing our ground, a mother's story is now available in paper back. stick around because when we come back lindsay vonn joins me on the show to talk about her new tv show and her new costar. spoiler alert, he's really furry. you don't want to miss it.
1:52 am

wdges with welcome back to the daily social distan-- distancing show, i spoke with gold medalist lindsay vonn. we talked about her life, and ree reality show she is coshossing with her dog and so much more. welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> thank you, good to be here.
1:54 am
>> before we get into all the things that you are doing, i wonder if you are ever happy that you retired when you did because i feel like you retired and then the whole world had to retire because of coronavirus. when you were retiring it was like lindsey, what are you going to do now, just sit at home and eat like chips and do nothing. ha ha ha, enjoy your life, loser. and now we're all losers with you, are you happy now? >> yeah, you know, i think it was pretty good timing. i'm not going to lie. i'm not jealous of everyone that is trying to travel the world right now. >> trevor: let's talk a little bit about what lindsey vonn is doing since they, you have an exciting new show called the pack, you shot before the virus shut down. it is a really fun show where you were competing, like people are competing against each other but their teammate is their dog. >> i mean it's way better than having a teammate of a human being, i think. it is a lot more exciting.

this is my lovely cohost, lucy, my dog, it was a fun show to do actually. and we were right, right before covid happened. we were kind of escaping every city before it kind of got shut down. >> wow. >> so it was a little bit intense but luckily we made it through, we got the whole series done and on friday you guys will see the finished product, hopefully you like it. >> so you have this competition, where people are traveling literally around the globe and they are taking part in different events and competing but with their dog. so like when your dog makes you lose is it the dog's fault or is it your fault for not training the dog adequately? >> i mean you know strks hard to say. a lot of the dogs had a hard time because even though they would be good at a task, there was a crowd forming wile we're shooting so they were distracted and so it is not really their

fault because they're really good at the task but i mean the humans get distracted as well. so i would say it is a team effort. there are some challenges more geared towards the dog obviously and some more geared towards the human. i think that the dog probably excelled sometime more than the humans. but that was,-- that is the end taining part of the show. i watched the first episode and i cried so i think will you have a lot of emotions. i think it is just really nice with everyone going on right now, you know, you kind of see the world without actually having to trouble and a lot of dogs in slow mo with let's face it, everyone wants to see. >> are you not the only one who would probably cry when watching the first episode. because you have lucy right there next to you who is your cohost for the show. but then you have two other dogs, leo and bsh-- and they are not your cohost and i think that they are going to be really had when-- sad and will be like wow,

how come lucy got chosen and we didn't, do you have a favorite, is that what you are saying lindsay. >> my favorite dog is actually not her, it's my other dog leo. and i wish that i could travel with them but they are like a hundred pounds each. an also they always get in trouble, ie they got into a fight with the porcupine and like a couple of weeks ago. and so i just can't rely on them like lucy is a always there, she may be sleeping but at least she's there. the boys, you know, boys are trouble. >> lindsay vonn ss just making shows, she is also producing shows and will be codirecting a documentary about h.e.r.o and skiing legend peek a boo street. you talked about her being the reason that you got into the sport. what is it like to come full circle and be the person that will be documenting her life. >> it's so rewarding. i mean i can't tell you, i wouldn't be excited for any
1:58 am
other project besides this one. she is why i am here. you know, and now i get to show her the respect that i feel so strongly about her and be able to tell her story and obviously working with frank marshal is a dream come true. he's a ledge ind. >> trevor: one thing i really enjoyed about watching your journey post sports has been how much you just, like, you have become comfortable being uncomfortable in the space of inspiring others. what i mean by that is like it is easy to be inspiring or easier to be inspiring when you are winning races, doing your thing and out there. but we are seen a side of lindsay vaughn that a lot of people never knew before hand. we have seen lindsay vonn sharing her journey of how hard it is to stay in shape now that she is not a professional athlete, the lindsay that changed people's lives by sayk i'm going to be on instagram and take pictures in my bikini because i'm on a vacation, and i will not retouch this, not

because you shouldn't but just because i don't want you to think that i'm perfect in a way that i am not. i'm perfect the way that i am. that is terrifying. >> st really terrifying. >> trevor: like how do you get to that place where you go you know what, i know the internet is going to come for me. i know there will be trollings. i know people will chip away at my self-esteem but i'm going do this and make this my cause. why does lindsay vonn choose to do that? >> you know, i fell for the last ten years that i've gotten that people have come after me, they chipped away at my self-confidence. and i really wish i could say that i have such tough skin that nothing ever got to me. but that's just not the case. i think you're not human if some of those negative things don't get to you in some way shape or form. but i think now finally i am comfortable enough in my skin where i can say this is me. i don't care if you come after me. i don't care if you think that i'm someone that i am not. i'm not perfect and actually no one is.
2:00 am
so the fact we're trying to be perfect is counterintuitive. that is who we are, we are all unique, beautiful, special. and i think with covid i just kind of realized what is important to me and i think i had to take a moment to really think about who i am and what i want. and the image i want to portray. i myself, and that is the image i want to show people. i'm myself, i'm raw, unedited. i am 100 percent me, take it or leave it. >> i will tell you this, man, as a friend and human being, i've always admired you for being a legend on the slopes but i think your legacy was even more legendary for the things you are doing off the slopes. thank you so much for join us on the show, good luck with lee and were bear when they find out you betrayed them. >> thanks, trevor, you are the best. >> trevor: thanks, see you again, the pack premiers on amazon prime video this friday november 20th. we will take a quick break but we will be right back after this.
