tv The Daily Show With Trevor Noah Comedy Central February 10, 2021 1:16am-2:00am PST
1:16 am
>> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody. i'm trevor noah. this is "the daily social distancing show." today is february 9, which means you only have five days left to prepare for valentine's day. and after the year we've all been through, remember to focus on what's really important this year. don't worry about spending a lot of money on champagne or jewelry. all you need to give your loved one is two stolen vials of the pfizer vaccine. anyway, on tonight's show: why india is beefing with rihanna.
1:17 am
dulce sloan weighs in on gorilla glue. so let's do this, people! welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> announcer: from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is "the daily social distancing show," with trevor noah. >> trevor: let's kick things off with today's big story: donald j. trump-- unemployed twitter bot and former president of the united states. today, trump became the only president ever to face a second impeachment trial, which is pretty impressive when you consider he only showed up to work about half the time. i mean, if trump really applied himself as president, we could be on impeachment number, like, 35 right now. and the trial kicked off today with democrats presenting a video which showed trump's speech on january 6, interspersed with scenes of violence from his supporters. >> we're going to walk down, and i'll be there with you.
1:18 am
we're going to walk down-- we're going to walk down to the capitol. ( cheering ) >> take the capitol! >> take the capitol! >> take the capitol! >> we are going to the capitol where our problems are! >> u.s.a.! u.s.a.! ( bleep ). >> that's enough! >> trevor: wow, what a powerful video that republican senators didn't see because they pretended to go to the bathroom. but you can definitely tell this impeachment is the sequel, because the sequel always turns things up to 11. the original impeachment was like: ( boring voice ) listen to this diplomat describe a phone call as you ponder the meaning of "quid pro quo." but this impeachment is like: ( movie trailer voice ) michael bay presents...
1:19 am
bum-bum-bum. impeachment 2! "we're storming the capitol!" ahhhhh! (explosion) after the video it was the trump defense teams' term to make their best possible case. after how it went today, i'm worried trump is going to get the chair. >> my name is bruce castor, i am the lead prosecutor-- lead counsel for the 45th president of the united states. i was assistant d.a. for safe long time, i keep saying "prosecutor," but i do understand the difference, mr. raskin. i don't want to steal the thunder from other lawyers, but nebraska, you're going to hear, is quite a judicial-thinking place. my parents had on a record, and we still know what records are, right? on the thing you put the needle down on and you play it. the other day when i was down here in washington-- i came downarilier in the week to figure out how to find my way
1:20 am
around-- i worked in this building 40 years ago. i got lost then, and i still do. the founders recognized that the argument that i started with, that... he talks about gallant men, was the name of the-- of the, uh... of the album. >> trevor: good lord. trump's lawyer is giving the speech you give when you have to stall because the actual lawyer is stuck in traffic. trump is probably watching this at home, "what the hell is wrong with this guy? the ad on the sign of the bus said he was the best." i will say this, the fact that trump now has a lawyer who is not leaking printer torn out of his head, that's a step in the right direction. here's the crazy thing: it doesn't actually matter what this guy says. he could get up there and trim his pubes for hours because the jury has already reached its
1:21 am
verdict. >> in just the last hour, the senate voted the impeachment trial of former president donald trump can move forward. six republicans joined with democrats in a 56-44 vote saying the impeachment trial is constitutional. >> the question, though, is, would there, in any scenario, be enough republicans to cross the aisle to vote to convict the former president, donald trump, and given that just six crossed the aisle here on this vote today-- and they'll need 17 to do that in order to convict him-- it doesn't look like the impeachment managers are going to be able to get there. >> trevor: that's right, people. before this trial even started, almost every republican juror has made it clear that they don't want a trial at all.■ç and i get it. i get why republicans voted this way because, on the one hand, yes, an angry mob stormed the capitol building where they work and could have killed them, yes. but on the other hand, everyone hates jury duty. although, honestly, i don't know why some of these senators are even allowed to be on the jury. it was my understanding that saying crazy shit like, "i want
1:22 am
to overthrow the government" was how you get out of jury duty. and i know this vote may make the trial seem pointless now, yes, but just because we know how the trial will end, it doesn't mean the trial shouldn't take place. i mean, when you're watching "law & order" episode just because in the first five minutes, the cops interviewed a dentist who obviously killed his patient to cover up an affair? of course not! you watch the whole thing because then you get to say, "i knew it!" when you end up being right. we're going to keep you up to date on the impeachment right up until the moment when trump is acquitted. for now, let's move on to president trump to someone else dealing with a never-ending bad hair day. >> gorilla glue is responding after a woman used their product in her hair. tessica brown posted her hair had been stuck in the same style over a month after she used gorilla glue spray to keep her hair in place. brown said she used the gorilla
1:23 am
glue after she ran out of her regular spray. brown had to go to the hospital. she's taken to social media with her plans to hire an attorney to pursue charges against gorilla glue. >> she claims while the product's label warns against using on eyes, skin, or clothing, it does not mention hair. >> trevor: oh, man, you have to feel bad for this woman. as crazy as this is, i kind of know how she feels, because one time, i accidentally ordered papa john's pizza thinking it was food. no one warned me. now, i have my own thoughts on this story, but to get a more relevant perspective, i'm going to bring in our very own dulce■ç sloan! dulce. what's going on. i thought i would give you a call. >> well, well, well. uh-huh. you would be calling me when there's a black woman in the news. >> trevor: no, come on, dulce. it's not like that. >> oh, so you want to talk about elon musk?
1:24 am
and, you know, you want to talk about tesla buying up bitcoin? >> trevor: yeah, but for now i wanted to talk about the gorilla glue girl. >> that's what i thought. look, trevor, just because a black woman does something, doesn't mean you have to talk to me. you could have talked to ronny, you could've talked to kosta. i mean, he thinks black lives matter! i don't want to talk about this "as a black woman." >> trevor: you know what, dulce, i didn't-- i didn't-- i apologize. we can just end this. >> but i do want to talk about this as a crafter, because i'm a crafter, trevor. you know, i'm sitting here making valentine's day cards. for my friends. i've got all kinds of adhesives here. i got double-sided tape. i got a hot glue gun. i got titty tape. we holding stuff down over here, trevor. >> trevor: okay, so then what do you make of this story as a crafter? >> i mean, as a crafter, this story makes me want to buy gorilla glue. i mean, if that glue can lock her hair in place for a month,
1:25 am
maybe it could have kept me and my ex together. literally! joined at the hip. i mean, it would have made sex difficult, but we'll work it out. where's he going? >> trevor: you know, it's funny you say that, because gorilla glue actually had to issue a statement defending themselves. they basically said that you can't blame them, because the bottle says you can't put it on skin. >> yeah, but in her defense, they didn't say you can't put it on scalp. and, also, the bottle says all the stuff you can put it on: fabric, wood, plastic. she must have read all this and been like, "well, if this is going to put wood down, my edges are going to be immaculate." >> trevor: so you sympathize with tessica brown. >> of course i do, trevor. no one wants to see someone go through shit like this. black women, we want our edges to be laid, but not forever. and you should see the comments! a lot of people are trying to help her out. we were like, "tessica, try coconut oil. try acetone. try jesus!" >> trevor: wow. you know someone is in trouble
1:26 am
when even the online commenters are like, no, we need to help this person. that's how serious it got. the only question is do you think this whole thing is going to end? >> i think this is going to work out okay for her. i mean, at some point, her hair's going to get fixed. and in the meantime, she's lucky she was going for a ponytail when this all happened. imagine if she was trying to get some new shit and ended up stuck with a mohawk this whole time. like my uncle josh. he got an awful haircut one time. let me show you. you-- you know what, trevor? i gotta go. i got-- i gotta go. >> trevor: is everything-- is everything okay, dulce? >> yeah, i'm good. it's my prayer time. >> trevor: are you stuck to-- did you put your glue gun on your chair? >> no, man, i'm trying to give you a nice little exit, give your show razzle-dazzle. luke a sweep-out, see. >> trevor: dulce, if you're glued to your chair-- you should call someone, dulce.
1:27 am
>> i got this. it's fine. i got some acetone somewhere. don't worry about me. >> trevor: you let me know if you need help, dulce. dulce sloan, everybody. all right, let's move on to our main story tonight out of india: the country that christopher columbus's dumb ass couldn't find. we're talking about india, because in a year of global protests they're in the midst of the biggest one anywhere. >> thousands of farmers blocked highways across india today in protest of the countries new agricultural laws, but the blockades are only the latest development in the face-off between agricultural workers and the government. >> this is one of the busiest highways leading to delhi. it's been blocked for weeks. tens of thousands of farmers from the northern states of india have marched to the capital city. >> last november, they organized a national strike involving 250 million people. that's more than all of the adults in america. >> their struggle isn't going unnoticed. r&b megastar rihanna asked her 100 million twitter followers
1:28 am
why aren't we talking about this? climate activist greta thunberg tweeted a message of solidarity. >> sparking a furious response from the indian government, it's also drawn the ire of new dehli police who in only the last few hours have now filed a police case sighting thunberg's tweets. >> rihanna and greta thunberg effigies were burned recently by pro-government crowds after they tweeted in favor of the farmers. >> trevor: damn. when a country that hot starts burning shit, you know they aren't messing around. i mean, they're burning greta thunberg in effigy, which is really going to piss her off. think of all the carbon emissions. by th way, there was definitely at least one guy who already had a life-size rihanna pillow. he was at the protest like, "heh, no guys. it's an effigy. let's burn it. i definitely didn't marry this pillow." so why exactly are india's farmers protesting?
1:29 am
well, let's step back and find out in another installment of "if you don't know, now you know." when you think about farming? what do you think about? you probably think about how it works in the united states: giant agribusiness companies running giant farms where they raise cows that are so jacked on steroids, they look like when you milk them, protein shakes come out of their teets. but most indian farmers work on a much smaller scale, and it's when the government tried to change that up that the manure hit the fan. >> this is all happening because prime minister modi's government has passed new farming laws that will change how the agricultural industry has worked for decades. >> india's agriculture sector makes up nearly 15% of the country's $2.9 trillion economy and employs around half of its 1.3 billion people. >> the vast majority of india's farmers own fewer than three acres. for decades, they have sold
1:30 am
their produce in their home states, in government-sanctioned markets called mandis, a system that guaranteed minimum prices on several key commodities. >> in september last year, the government passed three farm laws that loosened rules on how crops are produced, stored, and sold-- the laws that allowed private players a greater role and that sparked farmers' fears that they would lose decades-old concessions and be left to fend for themselves at the mercy of the free market. >> the measures, they say, will only benefit big corporations and push them into poverty. >> (translated): these laws wil have an effect on anyone who eats. they will buy from us at very low prices, and we lose our livelihoods. >> trevor: man, that sounds like a really rough situation for those farmers. and if this last year has taught us anything, it's that we can't take farmers for granted. nowhere in the world. we need farmers. we all saw what happened when we tried to grow our own vegetables
1:31 am
on our kitchen window sills. afternoon nine months what did we grow? nothing, other than resentment and hatred for our roommates. and this law is going to have widespread repercussions, because there are 600 million farmers in india. that's almost twice the entire population of the united states, which, apart from everything else, is just another reminder that the twitter trends are pretty bullshit. you'd think the entire world is talking about the joker in the snyder cut, when in reality, if everyone was on twitter, the top trending topics every day would just be "wheat." so with their livelihoods at stake, india's farmers decided to make their opposition known by blocking the roads into the capital as a form of civil disobedience. it's like that mahatma gandhi quote i saw on the internet: "sitting in traffic sucks major ass." and that's how things stayed for a while, until a couple of weeks ago, when they escalated it big time. >> the largely peaceful campaign briefly turned violent last
1:32 am
week. when protestors drove a procession of tractors into the heart of the capital, new dehli, some farmers confronted police, who fired back with tear gas. >> the government has arrested more than 120 people and charged farm union leaders with rioting and sedition. >> now the government's responding by using massive concrete barriers to box in the three main sit-in sites along new dehli's highways. it's also cut off electricity, water, and the internet. >> dehli police have deployed 50,000 police and paramilitary personnel in and around the capital. there are extra drones flying over protest sites. they have erected thousands of iron nails on some roads leading up to some of the sites. >> india's prime minister, narendra modi, has broken his silence, describing violence in the capital, new delhi, last tuesday as an insult to the country. modi says he will not change his mind on the new laws but has repeated offers to delay them for 18 months. >> trevor: hot damn! that tractor was moving. it's like someone made a "grand theft auto" mission in "animal crossing."
1:33 am
but, look, clearly, the government has decided they've had enough of this protest, because this is a major crackdown. and maybe they think postponing the law will satisfy the farmer, but think about it: in 18 months, people will be in the same position they are now, and the protests will happen all over again. i mean, you're basically just giving people 18 months to get angrier and supe up their tractors even more. >> but this crackdown shows you how worried the government must be about the protest. and honestly, they probably should be, because it's clear these farmers are digging in for the long haul. >> farmers are undeterred and they will continue their protests. >> water tankers are brought in by tractors for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. medical booths have been set up to tend to the sick. dozens of people, young and old, are busy cooking in community kitchens and serving meals.
1:34 am
>> there's a makeshift mall, a roadside market selling jackets and coats. >> youngsters intermittently break up the routine with song and dance and tractors. >> whether it takes four years or more, we're here to stay. >> trevor: you see, there, that's some determination right there. that dude is ready to protest for four years, which doesn't surprise me, because nobody on earth is more patient than a farmer. farmers are people who will wait five months to grow an eggplant. i'm not patient enough to find it in an emojy. and if you ask me, it was especially smart of those farmers to build a mall inside their camp, because now if the government sends in police officers, those cops automatically become mall cops and lose all authority. check... mate. so the next time you see indian
1:35 am
farmers trending, you'll have a little idea of what it all means. the government is trying to force the farmers back to their fields, but the farmers aren't giving up their demands. and nobody knows how this thing is going to end up. but i don't know. if i may quote one of their prominent supporters, his is a protest that just might "work-work-work-work-work." in the burr-burr-burr-burr. if you don't know, now you know. when we come back, robin roberts is joining us on the show, and kevin seefried is also going to kevin seefried is also going to be here so stick arou

1:39 am
>> trevor: welcome back to "the daily social distancing show." earlier today, i spoke with "good morning america's" very own robin roberts. we talked about her new special about the tuskegee airmen, returning to the studio after broadcasting from home and who the greatest n.f.l. player is of all time. >> i never thought i would worry about my baby girl anymore, but i-- >> oh, no need to worry. >> thank you very much. >> yes, sir, my pleasure. ( applause ) >> beautiful, beautiful. >> my father passed away in 2004. he didn't get to witness the airmen receiving such recognition. but his legacy, like that of all
1:40 am
the tuskegee airmen is enduring. it is a legacy of determination, pride, and courage. >> trevor: robin roberts, welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >( laughs ) >> it's a-- it's a pleasure to be here. >> trevor: many people know you as the face of "good morning america." you have been the face of america's institution for an extremely long time. but a lot of people may not know that you were the face of "sportscenter" for 15 years and you covered the n.f.l. for an extreme long time. so i would like to know from you the most important question that is plaguing america right now: is tom brady the greatest of all time? >> oh! oh, come on. give me something hard! that's a softball you're starting with me. >> trevor: that's a softball? >> he'slet goat! >> trevor: fine, i'll give you a harder one, robin: is tom brady the greatest athlete of all time? >> see, now, that's-- okay, that's harder.
1:41 am
is "is he the greatest athlete of all time?" you know what, that's debatable. i love serena williams, 23 grand slam titles, one when she was pregnant-- try that, tom brady, okay. you won a super bowl while pregnant, maybe we'll talk. but, you know, it's fun to have this argument. and i'm just glad to, in my lifetime, to have seen-- to be seeing someone like that, to have seen michael jordan, to be seeing serena williams. we've had some great, great athletes during our time. but he is-- he is special. >> trevor: you've always shown love to the team that you work with on camera every single morning. we wake up with you we enjoy watching you. what has been it like doing the show from home now? because a lot of your show is about the chemistry you share in person. >> it really is. and i have to team you i have some agreement teammates at
1:42 am
"g.m.a.." michael strahan-- who is at home because he was diagnosed with covid-19. now he's broadcasting from home. for a time george had to do the same. diit the longest. i was at home seven months, had my pod, my girlfriend amber helping out. that was really difficult. it was really challenging to keep that chemistry when you have, like, a two-second delay, you know. but more than that, it's just-- but i have to say, trevor, whatn i came back into the studio in september, man, it is like... i can't describe the feeling. and i know it's a feeling that a lot of people are going to have once they get back to their workplace. we've never been better. we've never been more in sync. >> trevor: you have been the face that guided america through crisis. you have been there to share fun stories but this new story you're embarking on might be my favorite robin roberts yet. it's about the tuskegee airmen and it's entitled "legacy of
1:43 am
coverage." what i love not just that you're telling the story but your connection to the story. tell me how it became to be. >> their legacy is so broad, fighting fascism abroad and racism at home. my father, at the age of 19, he got on a segregated train, trained to be a pilot. what they did in world war ii, what the tuskegee airmen-- a.k.a., the red tails, because they had to paint their tails so they would know because they escorted bombers and they needed to know they were friendlies and not the enemies, that was escorting them like that, exemplary flying record and they had to fight for that right. thank you eljor roosevelt, first lady at the time, went down to tuskegee-- can you imagine-- went to tuskegee in the 40s, got in a plane with a black man, said they're all right. let them go. they were able to go and be in combat. before they could just train but
1:44 am
couldn't fight. and all they wanted to do was fight for their country like everybody else at that time. >> trevor: i've often seen the story of the tuskegee airmen as myth. it's african american myth. and it's beautiful, like, these legends and these heroes. but this story takes us through a different journey about how they were fighting just to get the military to accept black service members, just to get the american public to accept black service members. it was a challenge that we really take for granted when you are just seeing the accolades that they achieve, now. >> and that's why it's so important that people watch this film because we take you there. all they wanted to do was fight for this country. they wanted to fly. and when they came back from the war, it wasn't as heroes. they came back, and after all they had done, they were told "back of the bus. you're a second-class citizen." and they fought to integrate the military, and also, many of them became very, very much a part of the civil rights movement at the time. >> trevor: right.
1:45 am
>> it really gave us, as a public, a framework to go like, "oh, my gosh. they were challenged that they didn't have the intellect to fly." but, you know, what, they showed that excellence, and, yes, black excellence can beat adversity of all types. and that's the kind of message that they sent to so many people back here in the u.s. >> trevor: there's no denying in america there is the dichotomy that many black people face where they say, "i love this country, and yet it feels like this country does not love me in return." from your father's perspective and being his daughter and seeing how he navigated this paradox, what do you think we can learn from that journey and how to i think have the conversations in and around patriotism and still challenging america to be better tots citizens? >> thank you for using the word "patriotism." my father was a patriot, a true patriot. and that's all he ever said. he would talk about how he felt freerer in the air than on the land as a black man in this
1:46 am
country. and i think it's very timely, given what we went through in 2020, the racial reckoning, seeing young, old, black, white, taking to the streets and saying, "no more, no more" it was really-- and i think this is why this film is so timely because, yes, we go back and we show their legacy. but we also bring it to today. you see how at a impact-- barack obama himself said they were an example to him that propelled him into public service. so i think when we watch a film like this, we're reminded of our history, and it lets us know, why am i taking to the streets? and, why, some things we're still fighting for, some things are similar that we're still fighting for that they did as well. >> trevor: it's heartfelt and it's wonderful and i can see why because of the story and the history you share with one of those airmen and i guess the story of all of them combined. roarke thank you so much for joining me on the show. >> next time i'm going to wear a hoodie.
1:47 am
>> trevor: don't do that to america, robin. you don't do that to america. please, i beg you. do not do that to america. >> thank you, trevor. >> trevor: "tuskegee airmen: legacy of courage" will premiere february 10 on the history channel. all right, when we come back, netflix star noah centino talks to me about the aficionado. sneakerhead. me? gearhead. ♪ ♪ obsession has many names. this is ours. the new lexus is. all in on the sport sedan. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. oh no...i thought i just ordered tacos. nope!...ramen... burgers... milk from the store, and... cookies? wha, me hungry! here, i'll call some friends to help us eat. yeah, that good idea. get more from your neighborhood. hey yo, grover! doordash. i have a convenience store delivery for super grover? oh, yeah, he said just put it there.

( laughs ). >> trevor: noah centineo, welcome to "the daily social distancing show" ( laughs ) >> glad to be here. very non-- is this even social distancing if we're not in the same room? this is like telemetric distancing. it's nice. >> trevor: i think it's the
1:53 am
ultimate form of social-- it's the furthest distance you can do socially. >> it's like "a" social distancing. i like it upon >> trevor: is this like a noah thing? are noahs growing their hair? is that is going on right now >> i suppose-- if you pull yours up, it probably -- >> yeah, mine can go. if you pull-- it can go all the way. i try to keep it-- it depend on the day. eh. >> you know, i get it. this is a feeling. >> trevor: yeah, yeah, it is a feeling. but welcome to the show. i've wanted to have you on for a while, not for anything professional, just because i'm a fan, you know. i grew up watching rom-coms. there was a period in my life when rom-coms were the best possible movie that you could watch, like, in the cinema or at home. and then all of a sudden rom-coms weren't cool and i had to act like i didn't like them. and then "to all the boys" came along, and yourself and lana
1:54 am
took me back to a time that i forgot i enjoyed as much as i did. laura jean and peter kavinsky have this chemistry on camera but i feel like you have it off camera as well. we live in an age, back in the day, movie stars were movie stars and that was it. you didn't see them otherwise. whereas, with movie stars today we get to touch you and feel you on social media. we get to see who you are when there s no movie take place. when you look at your life and how it has changed, what do you think is the reason people are so into you as an actor and person right now? there is something people are clearly gravitating towards? >> i mean, it's a good question. i was talking about this, literally, like, two days ago, about the difference between being in movies 50 years ago versus now. there's practically no barrier, you know, because of social media. i don't know, i feel like i'm fairly eccentric and fairly
1:55 am
quirky and fairly goofy in my own right, and because i kind of lean into social media without necessarily making it, like a cash cow for myself. >> trevor: right, right, right, yes. >> doing shoots so that i look a certain way. like, i kind of just have utilized social media as a tool to be like, "this is who i am and what i'm doing today." i think that, combined with doing a project and playing a role like peter kavinsky, was relatable, or hit a certain way made for this storm where people went, "yeah, i want to continue to see whatever this person is doing." >> trevor: is there a part of you that is already sad at the fact that you will never get to be peter cavinsky again? maybe you'll do an old-age version of it. but for now it's done. >> if we do an old-age version i want mark ruff low to play older peter. >> trevor: i can see it. >> he makes a strong return, reigning champion of rom-coms. bittersweet is the most accurate way to describe it.
