[car door opening] son of a bitch. on, everybody? i'm trevor noah and this is "the daily show." we're back and today is monday june 7, the day where everyone today has been talking about the new ios features that apple just announced, especially how you'll now be able to add a "legacy contact" who can access your devices after you die -- to which i can only say, helll no. do you really want the data on your phone to live forever? who thought of this feature? let me tell you something, man -- when i die, i want everything i've done on my phone to die with me. people are getting in trouble for tweets from like six months ago. if our great-great-great-grandkids are looking at our google searches, it's over for us.

no. the only post-death feature i want on my devices is a 'legacy volcano' that they're all thrown into. on tonight's show, we're launching billionaires into space. ronny chieng teaches you how to tweet and we look at how america is about to make joe biden very sad. let's do this, people. 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: all right, let's kick things off with jeff bezos, amazon c.e.o. and undoubted win of capitalism. like a lot of recently divorced middle aged dudes, bezos has been going through some stuff but can't deal with his mid life crisis by buying a sports car or brewing craft beer. here's the world's riches man so he's got to do something out of this world. >> amazon founder and world's

richest man jeff bezos will soon add a new title astronaut. blue or gin announced bezos and brother mark will fly to spay on the company's first human flight scheduled for july 20th. another seat on the flight is being auctioned saturday bidding underway, already and currently more than $2.8 million. >> trevor: that's right, people, jeff bezos is shipping himself into space. now, you know who this is great news for? elon musk because you realize, for a few hours, he can be like, ha ha! i'm now the richest man on earth. yes, the richest man! oh... he's back. i'm going to tweet at bit coin now. i think space travel is a natural fit for the owner of amazon. astronauts are just workers who have to wear diapers because they don't get bathroom breaks. makes total sense. my favorite part of the story is jeff bezos' ship is auctioning

off another seat for this trip. why? you're jeff bezos. just pay the extra money to not sit with a stranger on a trip to space! this is the culmination of your childhood dream. you don't want to spend it fighting over the arm rest. and i know $2.8 million sounds like a lot of money for a trip to space, but keep in mind, that's basically how much it costs to change your flight on united. actually, you know what would be amazing? we should all get together and start a go fund me where we buy the second seat and give it to bernie sanders. man, that would be a trip. this flight could have paid for everyone's h, but, no, you had to see the stars up close! and why is space so cold? somebody turn up the damn thermostat! let's move on to the big political news out of the united states senate. the political body most likely to need your help with resetting their microwave clocks. red states across the country have been comingsing up with ways to tremendous strict

voting, cutting back on hours, making it hard to bleat mail-in ballots and all polls need to be at the center of a corn maze. d.m.s have been trying to pass a federal law to guarantee voting rights nationwide. as they found out, sometimes it be your own people that take you down. >> monday june 7, and if democrats were hoping to pass the voting rights bill, joe manchin just tossed a giant monkey wrench into their plans. >> the democratic senator from west virginia announcing he will not support either, an enormous setback for his party and the president. manchin defended his decision in the charleston gazette mail writing voting and election reform that is done in a partisan manner will ensure parents measurers deepen. >> i'm not supporting that because i think it would divide us further.

yobt to be in a country divided any further than it is right now. i love my country and i think my democratic and republican colleagues feel the same. >> trevor: joe manchin, i feel you, man, but you realize you and the republicans are not playing the same game. you think you're so manying a jigsaw puzzle together, but those guys are here for a boxing match and i mean real boxing, not what logan and floyd merry weather were doing last night. he's a terrible negotiator. the only way joe manchin can get what he wants is if republicans are worried he might end the fill better. if he starts by saying that republicans have snowreason to negotiate. it's like if the kidnapper called the family, and was like now before we discussed the ransom, your daughter escaped a couple of days ago. i would still like a million dollars, though.

hello? one thing joe manchin is very good at is making himself the most important person in the room. because in a 50/50 senate, you can become powerful just by saying that you might not agree with what everyone else in your party wants. like a democrat could just say, i'm not sure if we should raise taxes on the rich, and everyone pays apension to them. or a republican could say, i'm not sure we should hang miches! and finally, let's make like baby lisa and go to nigeria where a fight is brewing over twitter. everyone loves to complain about twitter and some get so sick they quit completely, then come back six weeks later to explain why they couldn't actually quit completely. that's for ordinary people. if you're retch and get mad at twitter you can make everyone quit. >> can nigeriaia is known for kidnapping extremelyists and ban

disbut the goth wants to crack down on twitter users and banned the platform after twitter deleted a post by the president. >> nigeriaia reacting with shot and frustration after nigeria government suspended twitter. this days after platform deleted a tweet by the president that some say threatened to punish regionable separatists. twitter says it violates the policy. >> this morning i couldn't tweet. it's shameful. >> trevor: damn! i can't believe it! nigeria banned twitter. this is outrageous, undemocratic, and indefensible. also, i will be moving to nigeria because that sounds like paradise. but, yes, thanks to their vindictive president, nigerians are going to have a much harder time complaining about the government on twitter. on top of that, it's going to be

a lot harder to spoil the mayor of east town. they have to go door to door now. the whole time it was more about the social dynamics of a small town than about the mother itself. the matter wasn't really important, huh? oh, why would you do that to me, huh? i'm only on episode two! how can you spoil that for me? hey, man, shout out to african presidents because they will always remind the world what a real dictator looks like. because remember when twitter started flagging trump's tweets, all he did was throw a tantrum. you know he's got to be jealous as hell right now. it's like i've always said -- shows shithole countries, they know what they're doing. and justly by the way, this vanneddum, but did you catch how the cnn anchor introduced the story? if you didn't i'm going to play it again for you. >> nigeria is a country plagued by kidnappings, extremists and

bandits but the government wants the to crack down on a new type of criminal, twitter users. >> trevor: okay, as an african, allow me to say what the (~bleep~)? i mean, yes, that's all true, but still what the (~bleep~)? you never hear a foreign news anchor talking about the united states that way -- america is a country plagued by school shootings, extremists and failing infrastructure, but the government wants to raise the price of postage stamps. but let's move on now to our main story. it's almost summer, you know. that time to have the year when you rediscover all the places on your body you apparently sweat out of. but for president biden, there's been one thing in particular he's been looking for more than anything. >> our goal by july fourth is to have 70% of adult americans at least one shot. by july 4th, there's a good chance you, your families and

friends will be able to get together in your backyard and your neighborhood and have a cookout and a barbecue and celebrate independence day. we can celebrate our independence from the virus together on the fourth of july as we celebrate our independence as a nation. we can look forward to a fourth of july that feels a bit more normal. a fourth of july, more normal fourth of july. we can have a safe, happy fourth of july. >> trevor: okay! damn! we get it! i feel like joe biden booked a party house for july fourth and just learned it isn't refundable. but, yes, biden hasn't been this excited about an independence day since the first one. but as much as he would like america to get vaccinated so we can be as safe as possible when we blow our fingers off with m890s, it's looking like the numbers aren't on his side. >> disappointing numbers out that show the u.s. may fall short of having up70% of adults with one shot by july 4.

nearly 3 million doses have been administered across the u.s. but rates have fallen sharply since their high in april. >> less than 1 million doses of the vaccine administered a day according to the c.d.c., that is down about 70% from the peak in april when the country was averaging about 3.3 million a at a. the slowdown could put the president's july fourth goal in "jeopardy." the dead lynn he set for 70% adults tore partially vaccinated. about 63% have gotten at least one dose. >> trevor: oooh, this is going to be close, and, honestly, i'm a lit little worried about how e biden is going to handle this. because if this comes down to the wire, he's going to be desperate. he'll be loading fireworks with moderna needle also. oh -- aaahhh! it's not clear if we reach the 70% goal, but vaccinations have

plummeted which is crazy when you consider unvaccinated people are being given every inceptive to get their shot. >> vaccine initiatives rolling out across the country, up for grabs, everything from a million dollars to cars to free breer and concert tickets. >> the president unveiling new incentives like free childcare while parents get the vaccine or recover from it and touting a reward like free sporting tickets and free beer from anheuser bush. >> get a shot, have a beer, free beer for i've burn 21 years or older to celebrate independence from the virus. >> states and cities are loading on the incentives, too. the talladega super speedway a special promotion would let you drive your car around the track after you get a shot. in west virginia the governor is raffles off cash, trucks and even firearms to those who get the shot. >> we're going to give five

custom hunting rifles and five custom hunting shotguns away. >> trevor: okay. is it just me or are the incentives getting more and mr. dangerous? we'll give you free alcohol, we'll let you speed around a race track, hell, we'll even throw in some guns! at some point, these incentives are going to start killing more people than the vaccine is saving. look, there's a reason these prizes are guns and trucks and not notorious r.b.g. t-shirts. it's the red states especially in the south whose vaccine numbers are holding the country back. the redder the state, the fewer people who have been vaccinated. in mississippi, only 44%, in alabama it's 46%. basically any state where an electric car is considered gay, they're not missing with the vaccine. now, there are a lot of reasons why republicans might be more hesitant to get vaccinated. maybe they're worried the microchip in the vaccine will set off the metal detector the next time they storm the capitol. who knows.

definitely not helping who entheir political leaders are doing shit like this. >> the ship's already outout at sea, one cruise line announce add surprise shift in policy for passengers. royal caribbean international now says vaccines will be strongly recommended but ultimately optional for guests on u.s. cruises. florida is set to ban cruise license and other businessers for asking people to show proof of vaccination or face fines of up to $5,000 per passengers. >> trevor: you heard that right, florida isn't allowing cruise lines to make passengers get vaccinated before they cruise, they can only recommend it to the passengers. and let me tell you something, a recommendation means nothing to a cruise ship passenger. i mean, doctors also recommend that you don't eat seven pounds of shrimp the one sitting, yet cruise ship passengers ignore

that one every single day because they're not there to follow recommendations. they're there to relax, eat, get a sun burn and maybe push their spouse off the ship without legal repercussions. the law is madness. i get people don't want vaccines to be required wherever they go but some places we need to agree it needs to be a requirements. if you a ruseline, listen to me -- once you're in the middle of the ocean, florida laws don't mean shit anymore. yeah. so these cruise ships, they should get to international waters and then be like, all right, who's vacs made and who's swimming home? but thanks in part to dumb laws like this and all the people who don't want to get vaccinated, looks like america could fall just short of hitting that 70% benchmark by july 4th. but if you think about it, though, there's nothing special

and 70%. i mean, it's just an arbitrary number that president biden chose for that date. so maybe all we need is a goal that's slightly more achievable, and a little more fun. >> when the covid 19 vaccine became available, the president set a goal. >> to get 70% of adults vaccinated by july 4th. >> sadly, doesn't look like we're going to make it. >> which is why america needs a new, more realistic goal. >> 69%. 69%. >> 69%. >> we can get this country to 69. if we're just willing to come together. >> to come together. >> remember, when you get vaccinated, you're not just doing it for you. >> you're doing it for other people to. >> that's why getting to. makes everyone feel good. >> etch if the mennics of making it work are a little tough to pull off. >> we can do this, america! >> the way to end this crisis is

right there, just dangling in front of your face. >> because if we can get america to 69, it won't just be great, it will be -- nice. >> it will be nice. >> nice. >> and 69 isn't just a random number. >> it's also a sex act where participants put their mouths on each other's genitals. >> 69th the 4th -- turn the pandemic upside down. >> 69... >> trevor: all right, when we come back. we'll teach you how to lie on the internet. you don't want to miss it.

"the daily social distancing show." during the covid pandemic, many schools switched to remote learning -- and we all agreed that it was a total success that everyone loved! so we at the daily show also created a remote-learning program, except ours skips calculus and grammar in favor of lessons that you will actually need in life. so grab a pencil and pen, and prepare to attend another class of "remotely educational." ♪♪♪ >> hey, kids. i'm mr. ronny, and today we're learning about creative writing. and no not that bullshit you learn in school where you, like, write a stupid poem or something. i'm talking about the creative writing that you actually need to learn -- lying on the internet. because let's face it, how you come across online is way more important than how you come across in real life. i mean, how many people do you even know in person? like ten? you can't go viral with those numbers. screw them! so let's get starred with the most important part of the

internet. instagram. creative writing on instagram is all about writing a good caption for your pictures. take this photo for example, i captioned it, so blessed to live this life. every day's a new adventure, just had brunch with all my "friends." i saw that car parked outside a hotel i walked by, i have no friends and for breakfast i had pizza from the night before, but this caption makes me look rich and popular, which makes everyone else feel like lazy losers, and that is the power of creative writing. another great place on the internet for craves writing is your linkedin page. we all know the best way to get a job is to go to a top university but who the hell can do that? with the power of creative writing, you can just say you went to one -- harvard, yale, stanford or oxford -- especially oxford, actually because how is anyone going to check that?

have you tried calling a phone in your opinion the england? there's all these extra digits, a plus sign, it costs $100. no one is going to check, trust me. another place you will definitely need craves writing is your dating profile. statistically speaking, you probably suck. that's why you're got to use words like passionate, adventurous, doesn't live with parents, six foot three, and yeah you might be thinking but ronny i'm five foot seven, what am i going to do? who cares? they won't realize that until they meet you and, like i said, once you know them in real life, they are useless! let's say you're a business owner and want to get the word out about your company. once again, with a little craves writing, you can use your yelp page to tell the story you want told. and you get to create fund characters you pretend are your quos r curse mers. for example, cindy b. says, when a trusted friend recommended ron arey's used cars, i was worried about being taken advantage of,

but ronny immediately put me in at ease. you see, ease clay medication points make it seem sincere. he gave me a fantastic price on an excellent vehicle that totally didn't break down the next day and he has such a handsome smile. creative writing isn't just about naked lying. you can also use it to build your brand on twitter and the angrier you are, the more attention you will get. for example, don't just tweet watching the olympics. instead, how come the sweetest team doesn't have more black athletes? huh? now it's only a matter of time before you're guest hosting on msnbc. now you have it, useful ways creative writing can work for you and you can use it to riwrite a book or something but who reads anymore, honestly! who reads anymore, honestly! >> trevor: thanks professor

remember it's a costume party. a costume party!? yes! anybody want to split a turkey leg?

future. indya moore, welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> did you say "the daily social distancing show"? >> trevor: i did indeed. we're in the last phases of social distancing now. that's what this show became and now we're getting ready to slowly go back to normal life, until then we're still socially distanced. we just need everybody vacs made and we can get back to normal life. so welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: let's talk a little bit about your journey. it is an honor to have you here. normally, when i see you, you're on the cover of a magazine, in the "time 100" or one of the most widely loved and critically acclaimed shows which is "pose." i should also say happy pride month as well. the world has been going through a particularly terrible time in the past year and a half as things are slowly seeing a bit of normalcy. is there anything you're doing

to celebrate pride month? >> i think, myself, like, i'm putting more energy and like time and labor into uplifting and centering myself and my health and my joy, and i think, um, that's a really beautiful way to celebrate pride month considering, um, i think for so long pride month has been like, i don't know, like a time where, like, i'm, like, you know, asked for a lot or, like, you know, there are things that -- >> trevor: right, right, right. >> so it, like, feels really good to take time out to like show up for me and give myself attention and love and all those nice things, especially since finishing "pose," like, it's a really beautiful long and really strong journey. so i think, like, resting is really healthy for me right now.

>> trevor: it is healthy and it is also well deserved. you know, "pose" is one of those shows that comes around once in a blue moon. you know, very seldom do you see shows that not only i think speak to a topic that isn't widely spoken about on television but also in an authentic and heartfelt and funny way. it's an everything show that people really gravitated towards for a reason. as somebody who saw the show progress throughout the seasons, did you see it getting as big as it got? >> i don't know. i think, like, my entire experience navigating life as a trans person always feels like a wildcard, you don't know how people are, like, going to react to you, you know, when they come to find that, you know, there's a trans presence and that that presence is you. i've seen so many reactions that have been uplifting and scary, and, so, like, that's really

what i thought, you know, like, what -- that's kind of what i thought, you know, like, i'm always worried for the negativity or like -- >> trevor: interesting, interesting. >> but i was welcoming and open and excited for, you know, like welcoming and excited responses to our story -- our show and our stories. >> trevor: do you think a lot of that might have come from the way you lived your life or the way you have been forced to live your life? it's easy for people to see you the star of a hit television show, doing a campaign with tommy hilfiger and we'll talk about that in a little bit. but you had a really hard journey. you were homeless for a period. you had to leave your home because your own family was trans phobic and they couldn't handle you coming out as queer. let's talk a little bit about the journey you have been on and, a, what you've learned from it. not that you have anything wrong but what you've learned from it, and then what you hope others could learn from your journey,

both parents and then i think children. >> yeah, i mean, so, yeah, like, i think you, um, acknowledged a really, you know, interesting point about like how, you know, people are seen once they have fame and celebrity. the whole point of me visiblizing my story is so people could see themselves in it. i wanted people to see themselves, you know, through my experiences and i wanted my experiences and my journey as a person marginalized intersectionally to be lessons for other people. i just want to, like, be always mindful in how i take up public space in that way. but i'm always hoping for my experiences and when i share them, you know, to be reflective for other people, for parents to see themselves in the stories that i tell. >> trevor: right. >> about how, you know, and hope

think they will shift their ideas about how they believe they should raise their childrn and the the way that they raise their children can cause harm, you know, like when they're trans or queer, particularly. for trans ands queer people to also feel seen and, you know, just because i entered the public space in such a westernized way, i want my community to just -- for those that are struggling and live closely to the experiences that i had to know that, like, it's deeper than that and that they're lives are valid no matter or not if they become famous out of their troubles, they can create a purpose for themselves and not have to wait for one, you know, or wait to discover, you know,ers like, and, so, you know, that's how i -- i use my history and experiences to contribute wherever i can. >> trevor: yeah, no, i hear

what you're saying and i think you do a great job of it. you are also blaze ago trail in the fashion industry and although "pose" has come to and end, there's obviously going to be so many things you do coming forward. one to have the newest involves a collaboration with tommy hilfiger. tell me about that and why this was going to be the right partnership for you to tell a story through. >> they were interested in me leading a campaign, a fashion project, you know, that was more personal, and that was beautiful. like, of course, like, if -- why wouldn't i? you know, like, um, take someone to create such a peres teens fashion brand and also have the autonomy and space to create things from my lens and, you know, from my vision. and, so, like, i'm really excited for this collaboration to continue to rollout.

i tried as much as i can to create, um, a line or like, um -- for my collaboration to be as inclusive as possible to -- >> trevor: right. >> -- as many bodies and body types as possible and, i, you know, there is a lot of fighting for that and, um, there's so much uncomfortableness and, um, you know, tension and learning and, um, you know, but i'm just really happy, um, to know they were willing to go there with me to adjust and change the metric, you know. >> trevor: yeah, it's wonderful to see. when you look at a show like "pose" and you look at your journey in the media, obviously, you're doing it for yourself as a human being, which i think is important, but there's an undeniable element of it that is you being a role model, you being somebody that people look up to, you just by your very

existence making a statement. i would love to know how you deal with the pressure of that. >> i don't know. like, i think it's really nice to have the gratification people have given me and to, you know, experience that and to be loved by so many people. i'm also 26 years old, i'm also, you know, just a few years removed from the experiences and stories that i'm telling on "pose," and you know, immediately when you become, like, popular for your art, you immediately become,, like -- i don't know, people -- like -- there's, like -- i think especially if there's, like -- if you are a group that doesn't have a lot of representation -- >> trevor: right. >> -- and you're also, like, really opinionated or, like, really thoughtful in how you

express you feel publicly and power, i think people start to see you as, um -- in a -- within the spectrum of leadership. >> trevor: right, right, right, right. >> i don't think that about myself, necessarily. i'm still learning. in fact, i'm looking for my elders, i'm trying to figure out who my elders are, who's close to me that, you know -- you know, can help me, you know. you know, like i'm, like, still trying to heal from so much and also working in a highly demanding industry that demands so much visibility around me and who i am, and, you know, i'm working through so much and trying to get it right, you know, for me and my people. >> trevor: thank you for sharing the journey with us. thank you for being fantastic. and congratulations on everything you've done and everything you're going to go on and do. indya moore, take care. >> thank you, trevor noah, you,

too. >> trevor: don't forget, you can watch "pose" only on fx. all right, we're going to take a quick break but we'll be right back after this. wanna help kids get their homework done? we, an internet connection's a good start. but kids also need computers. and sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. so why not hook community centers up with wifi? for kids like us, and all the amazing things we're gonna learn. over the next 10 years, comcast is committing $1 billion to reach 50 million low-income americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. i hope you're ready.

[michael muttering] today's a very special day for me. and it's really not about me. it's about my grandkids. it's about my great-grandkids. i can come back here when i'm 100, and i can find that piece of cement and say, "that's me. look, kids. your daddy left that facehole" i don't know. it's a good feeling.
