Take for granted how our perceptioning of the police are shaped by the shows we watch on tv. When we hear about Police Brutality, a lot of people are like, that cant be right. I grew up watching shows like miami vice, starsky hutch, and hawaii 50. All the cops, they never did anything wrong. If you think about it, even when we did watch cop shows about police violating somebodys rights or beating them up to get a confession, what did we think as kids . We thought, this job was trying to do his job but the constitution is holding him back. So no more cops. That isnt the only problematic content being removed from american tv. This morning, an American Cinema classic gone with the wind has been temporarily pulled by the streaming platform hbo max. For years, the movie has been considered controversial for its depiction of black people and glorification of slavery. In a statement, hbo max writing in part, these racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and keeping this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible, adding, the film will return with the discussion of its Historical Context and a denouncement of those very depictions. Trevor man, this is a big move from hbo. They know that millions of people, millions of people loved gone with the wind. And they also know that the movie is problematic because it makes it seem like some slaves were having a pretty good time. And we know thats not true, i know some people want to argue that. Because if slaves were having some slaves didnt have it that bad. Some slaves werent having it tough. Let me tell you something if slaves were having a good time then they wouldnt have needed to be slaves. The people could have let them go home and see if they come back. Another reason you know they werent having a good time is because no white person ever tried to become a slave. No white person was ever like, honey, im going to see if theyre hiring down at the plantation. I think ill make a pretty good slave. Do you think this outfit lookses professional . Wish me luck. I know some people are going to argue this is just a movie. It distribute have to be an accurate portrayal of slavery. But my argument is, maybe you wouldnt have to rely on movies if american schools didnt use textbooks that referred to slaves as immigrants, and if they didnt give out homework assignments asking people to list the positive aspects of slavery. If you cant count on the education system, movies are going to have to pick up that slack. I understand what hbo is doing. Theyre like, we are going to have to provide some context because clearly a lot of americans dont have it. Maybe thats what hbo should do. Maybe hbo should make people take a quiz about American History before they get to watch gone with the wind. Question number one why was there a civil war . Because states wanted the the right you dont need to watch the movie. Heres a documentary. Try in a few years and come back again. Hbo hasnt said how theyre going to add context to gone with the wind. It is going to be a tough task. So we decided to do it for them. Scarlet, you know you get prettier all the time. Thank you, ashley,. We traveled a long road since the old days, havent we scarlet, the lazy days. They werent lazy for everyone. The warm twilight, the high soft the what. Lets get one thing straight, if were laughing starkly, it means were laughing at you. You know shes talking about slavery. You got that, right . Go ahead and make that way. Spend whatever you want. Make it as fine a plantation as it ever was. Oh it will be a fine plantation. But its going to have to have white labor next time. The south is not going to rise again, scarlet. Trevor great job, dulce. Next up, you should fix green book. Now, while our movies are getting a lesson in racism, were also making some updates to the movies of reading books. One woman is changing the way peole look at racism by changing its definition. Kennedy mitchum contacted merriamwebster after she saw folks quoting the definition of racism online. Mitchum says the definition should include that there is a systemic oppression upon a group of people. It is not simply just dislike of someone because of the color of their skin or ethnicity. The editor of merriamwebster agreed and said a revision to the entry of racism is being drafted. Trevor you know this movement is creating change when even the dictionary is agreeing that they need to update the definition of racism. Dictionaries can be very slow to embrace change. Most of these words have the same definition since i was in preschool. They just updated the definition of an entire word in the dictionary. That is huge. I can imagine if whoever is in charge of math was like, yo, we screwed up on the number 7. Its a lot more complicated than we realized. And it makes perfect sense to do this, because too many people out there think that racism is only if you wear a klan hood or call somebody the n word. If you dont do that, thats not racist. Amy cooper herself said i did not do anything racist. But racism as a system is often more dangerous and descructsive. Preventing black people from getting loans, stopping black kids from getting an equal education, Racial Disparities in medical treatment racism is like the corn syrup of society. Its in everything. So right now, thanks to this movement, the movement in the street, if we are being forced to look at all the ways we might be further perpetuating negative ideas or stereotypes that enforced racism in the world from our tv shows to our movies to even the definitions of words. And whats been magical to see is how some corporations and institutions have jumped on board to say, yes, we can do better. Well babynames. Com is making a powerful statement in honor of recent protests in the black lives matter movement. The websites home page shows a black box with dozens of names along with a message. It says each of these names was somebodys baby. They include eric, michael, philando, breeona, and george. The website posted the names of black people who have been killed, many by police. Babynames. Com says it stands in solidarity with the black community. Trevor im not going to lie. This is one of the most powerful statements ive seen, and from one of the most unlikely places as well babynames. Com. Because you dont think they would have any way of participating in a conversation about race and racism, but they show that if you want to be a part of moving society forward, you can find a way. In fact, what they did gave me an idea. All you white people uall you white people watching the show now saying youre allies, you should name your white son kwame, and your white daughter makabe. When corporations are looking through job applications, they we want know who is black. They wont wont know who is white. Im being serious, white people. The only way to be an ally is to give your kids blacksounded names. Im joking. You should see your face. You were terrified. You can be allies in different ways. For now you can continue giving your kids white names like polo and denaerys. While all this racial reckoning is going on, its easy too forget this is also an election year. Last night, democrats and republicans lined up to vote in georgias primary elections. And when i say, lined up, they lined up. Today voters waited in long lines as they tried to cast votes. From the air you could see long lines of voters, socially distanced. Voters reported standing in the hot sun for up to four hours. An extremely long wait. I have seen lots of people leave they dont have understanding employers. This is a crisis in our world to make us not exercise our right to vote please, god, help us. Trevor goddamn, did you see those lines. That doesnt look like a voting day. That looked like the last scene in us. Kudos for that white woman to use her complaining power to defend democracy. We need to see more of that instead of white women klaining their iced tea is cold. Whether youre wyatt, black, republican, or democrat, nobody should have to struggle to vote. I think we can all agree on that. Nobody should have to wait four hours to vote. This is an election, not the latest pair of jordans. And thats what it was yesterday was, an unnecessary struggle. And the reason it went wrong is because of everything. Georgia, a key battleground state in november, had rescheduled its primary twice because of the coronavirus pandemic. Health concerns kept many longtime poll workers from showing up today, leaving inexperienced volunteers to run new Voting Machines for the first time. Polling precincts that were at churches, assisted living centers, and Senior Centers had to be moved because of the coronavirus. Georgias secretary of state, who oversees the election, is blaming local officials, saying poll workers were not properly trained. The employees didnt understand the system, so what were they doing for all these months . All of a sudden they wake up and say, lets have an election on tuesday . One county official firing back at the secretary of state saying, if there was a failure of leadership, it starts where the buck should stop, at the top. Now georgias secretary of state has launched an investigation ahead of novembers election. Trevor you know, its funny how america has unlimited resources to make sure that countries around the world get democracy, but then america never seems to have the resources to make sure theres democracy in america. I mean, if atlanta wants more voting resources, maybe they should just declare that theyre a country in the middle east. Aafghanistalanta now, so can we get that democracy cash . It was especially bad in black areas. Threequarters of people who called the hot line to complain about voting problems were black, and partly, thats because out of the 53 georgia counties where polling places have been closed since 2012, more than half have large black populations. At this point, none of this is surprising. Right. Were used to seeing this by now. In fact, smartphone data shows in 2016, voters in black neighborhoods across the country waited at polling places 29 longer than voters in white areas. So, as usual, when something goes bad in america, for blac people it gets worse. It doesnt matter what it is, whether its policing, voting issues, or winter. Because the Weather Channel says its 30 degrees, but for black people, that shit feels like negative 10. Once again, america had election day and a case of severe electoral dysfunction, especially with coronavirus now in the mix. Just like with coronavirus, america has an opportunity right now to heed the warnings before its too late because this isnt just a problem in georgia. Weve seen these issues all around the country. And if this happens ghaen gwen in november with the presidency at stake, best believe, people are going to be fighting over a lot more than just toilet paper. All right, we need to take a short break. But dont go away, because joe biden is joining us right after this, so stick around. The swag by link wray. Gucci guilty.

Earlier today, i spoke to former Vice President joe biden, who is about his position on police reform, voting right, and so much more. Check it out. Mr. Vice president , welcome to the the daily social distance show. Its good to be with you. And its a big distance now. Trevor it definitely is a big distance. You have been making news over the past few weeks responding to whats happening in america responding to what can easily be described as one of the most tumultuous time in not just american but world history. I want to talk a little bit about the oped you put out today. Talk me through how you would plan to undo systemic oppression, and how you think youll address the needs of the African American community. Well, first of all, its going to take time. You know, donald trump didnt invent racism, but he sure has promoted it, and the disparities of the country, especially in the economy right now, the combination theres just an awful combination covid19, unemployment, systemic racism. And whats happening in terms of the way in which the George Floyds death took place. I mean, i think about it, when i was a kid, what really changed and sparked the Civil Rights Movement as a kid, i was just involved in it just a High School College student was that television was around. And television came along when they saw what paul carner was doing in birmingham, alabama, people went, whoa i didnt know that really happened in america. Trevor right. Now today, everybody not only should cops be wearing body cams. Everybody has a bodyical. Everybody has a cell phone. The last words of george floyd, i cant breathe, they would have been cons qesh, but if they had not seen him take his last breath, none of this would have been nearly as consequential. Because people are now saying, my god. Did you see that . Its one of those Inflection Points. Trevor it really does feel like an Inflection Point and it is one that is difficult for Many Americans to navigate. Most americans agree there is a problem in policing between police and the black community and even many poor white communities. This is something we know what we look at interactions between police and the American People. You have come out in favor of police reform, you know. But what does that actually mean . Because some people think that you cannot reform an institution that is fundamentally rotten in the core. Well, i dont think its rotten in the core. I dont think all cops are bad cops. But i think look, 90 of all the funding comes from local taxpayers, so the federal government, under our system, cannot, other than taking a civil rights action, say they can do a, b, c, and d. But what we can do is we can make sure that we insist on certain fundamental changes take place now, including giving making sure theres sensitivity training, making sure that all of cops past grievances excuse me, transgressions are all made public. Because we can say, if you dont, we are not going to provide the federal funding that we provide for you through what they call burn grants and cop grants. We can i think now impact on significantly the desire of Many Police Departments as well to fundamentally change the way they police. Trevor you know, many activists and organizers have capitol hill out saying there have been repeated attempts to reform many plepts. Police departments. Were it not for consumer cameras we would not know. Some would say to you, mr. Environment, if you were to become president , do you think that there would be a world where defunding the police would be the solution and getting getting some of these spnltss away from police forces, you know, police in schools, Police HandlingMental Illness, Police Handling homelessness, et cetera . I think a lot of changes, they can take place, period, without having to Defund Police completely. Heres what i think has happened. You have well over 80 of the American People going, whoa. I didnt know this. I didnt know this was happening. I dont believe police should be defunded, but i think the conditions should be placed upon them where departments are having to take significant reforms relating to we should set up a national use of force standards where if they dont sign up for it, they dont get any federal money. In addition, they have to demonstrate that they release all the data that relates to misconduct by police. It all has to be sent to the Justice Department. If they dont send it to the Justice Department nationally, they dont get funding. As it relates to, for example, Mental Illness and homelessness and drug abuse and the like, many changes we can make. For example, my daughter say social worker. She has her masters in social work. The idea that shes going to respond by herself to a 911 call that says that someone is overdosing or someone has a mental problem and theyre acting out, the idea of going by themselveses is not rational to expect. Conversely, cops shouldnt go alone. Cops should go with, with people who are Mental Health experts. Trevor you dont think theres an opportunity to have somebody who is not a policeman. The old adage, if you are a hammer, everything is a nail. So you dont think theres an opportunity to have people who are not even police in these environments who are trained and specialize . I mean, at mental institutions, for instance, its not police who are think helping these people. Its people who are trained in defusing these situations. But they are, though. They also use force in those mental institutions when someone is out of hand. They put them in straitjackets. They put them in circumstances they have big guys come in and hold somebody down. Its not just someone walking in and saying, look, you have to calm down. I know how to deal with you. Its not that simple. But that should be the objective. So we should put the Police Second in those circumstances, and not first. For example, we should change the way in which we deal with all drug abusers. Nobody should be going to jail for the use of drugs. They should be going to mandatory rehabilitation. We should be building rehab centers, not more prisons. You know, Building Trust between Law Enforcement and communities and to increase safety is to invest in funding of community policing. When we were Funding Community policing, the crime rate went down and the visibility of the and the extent of brutality went down, too, because people know whos in the community. But its much bigger than that. Its complicated. But i think we should turn over as much as we can to nonarmed Police Officers to deescalate things related to Mental Illness, homelessness, and drug abuse. Trevor one of the areas that almost everybody synonymousenously agrees on is Police Unions have shown themselves to be extremely strong and often have contracts that provide impunity for the police. It is hard to get the bad apples out of Police Departments. I mean, just in the case of george floyd, you had a Police Officer where just from the record that people could get access to, you saw somewhere around 20 previous grievances against the Police Officer. So what is your plan to try and get Police Unions to sign on . And if they dont, is there a plan to remove some of their power or to deal with them differently . The plan would be that their departments dont get funded if they dont do the things that have to change. For example, there are bad cops, there are bad senators, there are bad docs, there are bad lawyers, there are bad and theyre all very poor at policing themselves, every one of these institutions and organizations. So youve got to say, heres the deal. When a Police Officer is tried with a Violent Crime or tried with violating lawsuit and should not be tried by the local prosecutor, has to be a prosecutor that doesnt handle their cases. Were going to make that a law. So theres more distance between the two. Making sure that cops can be fired for cause. Cops can be fired when in fact you can make the case and bring a case that indicates they have violated the law, they have violated common decency. And when that happens youre going to see Police Departments changing and Police Unions changing. And, by the way, not all unions have taken the same position. Some unions are much more forward leaning than other unions are. But the fact of the matter is there has to be a fundamental change. Youve got to be able to root out bad cops. And the good cops, the majority of them are, know how it makes them all look. They look bad. It makes everyone look bad. I think youre going to see a lot more movement in terms of Police Unions as well. But if its not, theyre going to have to obey the law as written. Were going to change the way in which we hold Police Departments accountable. Trevor when we come back, more of my interview with joe biden. Biden. Stick around. You doing okay . Yeah.

Now thats simple, easy, awesome. Transfer your service in minutes, making moving with xfinity a breeze. Visit xfinity. Com moving today. Daily social distancing show. Earlier today i spoke to former Vice President and democratic president ial nominee, joe biden. Heres more of my discussion. One of the major things you would have to do in order to make more of this change is win an election. Yes, thats true. laughter that is true. Trevor i think its safe to say that america is expecting a really dirty election. We know how donald trump plays in an election. Weve seen it up against Hillary Clinton in 2016. You know that he holds no punches. You know that he will punch below the belt. Youve often said that you plan to be the president who brings america back together, but how does that play into the way youll run your campaign . Well, first of all, you know, when the carney show comes through town the first time and everybody finds out theres no pea under any of the three shelves, the next time it comes around people have a different view. The first thing were doing is calling out every lie he in fact is saying. Were calling out and making a case that this guy is not a good guy. This is what he has done. What is happening is the American Public overwhelmingly now, if you notice, twothirds of the American Public thinks that the people who want to who are protesting are the people who are right, and not the president. The president has been wrong. And so theres a lot thats changed, a lot thats changee t. He will get personal and say things about me, my family, my children, that are simply not true. But good news is the bad news. The good news is the people know me, and they know me warts and all. The bad news is they know me. So hes not going to be able to make things stick that arent already real weaknesses on my part and i have weaknesses for real. Trevor what do you think some of those weaknesses are . Im not going to advertise them no, one of my weaknesses is i say what i think. Nobody has suggested i dont mean what i say. Trevor thats true. Sometimes i say all that i mean and that gets me in trouble. laughter i get it. And my old stuttering days, in cases they come back, and i find myself, you know talk talk talking like that. So i sometimes make political gaffes. You know the expression a gaffe in washington is a politician telling the truth. The american place in the world has been damaged significantly. The next president is going to inherit a world in disarray, number one. Number two, at home, we are a divided nation in a consequential way. Ive spent my whole career and the one thing people give me credit and blame for is bringing both sides together, coming up with principled compromise. So the two things, the reason im running, both those issues tend to be in my wheel house. It doesnt mean im going to get them right. Ill going to make mistakes. Im going to make serious mistakes. But the point sitake responsibility for the mistakes. Trevor how do you plan as joe biden who say i am not a fan of trump but i love what he has done for the economy and i might be better off economically because of him. There are not that many people as like that as you think. Hourly wage people, they dont think their children are ever going to have the same standard of living they have. He has really damaged the economy for hardworking and middleclass people. Thats yi say the second reason im running is restore the backbone of this country hardworking middleclass people. The president has to be part of solution, not the problem. Ordinary people are getting crushed. And guess what . If you are latino or African American, you are really getting crushed. The Unemployment Rate among black youth is up in the 36 , 37 range, even higher for latinos. Everybody is beginning to understand the way we treat people is simply not right. Trevor as president , would you then continue being the biden who is not afraid to tell it like it is and address those issues specifically within those communities . Because oftentimes it feels like politicians run on these ideas, but then when they get into power, they say, were going to fix things for everybody. But the truth is america has a legacy of oppressing certain people, specifically black black people. And it feels like those issues and those areas need to be addressed in a very specific way, as opposed to in a general way. Are you going to be willing to do that . Yes. Trevor and some of the backlash that comes with it. By the way, yes. And ill tell you what, one of the things ive done and i have been known for in my state, i dont address those issues just to the African American community. I go to the Business Community and make the case to the Business Community. I think people, youve got to make the case to the people who in fact are the reluctant to pay their taxes to do those things and say, tell me, are you going to be better off . And im confident, im confident that you have at least 20 of that population tha the folksn the upper income brackets going, i guess im a little better off if there is more peace and security. We tend to be unwilling to make the case to the people who historically have said, okay, look, this is all about my not paying taxes. You cant build a wall high enough around your home. Yo to keep pollution out. You cant build a wall high enough around your home to keep peace in the neighborhood. You cant build a wall high enough around your home to see to it that you have a safe place to move around the country. I mean it just and i think weve got to make the case to the very people who say theyre opposed. And the last point ill make is the people who voted for trump out of frustration, hooleducated people who are busting their neck, those are the neighborhoods i come from. I come from scranton, pennsylvania, the people i grew up with. In fact, they, in fact, understand, and i think they know i think they know me. Thats why i think the polling data is demonstrating that they know i will do what i say and respect them. Trevor when we come back, Vice President biden tells me who he is choosing as his run aring mate. Stay tuned. Looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver. Theyre going to be paying for this for a long time. They will, but with accident forgiveness allstate wont raise your rates just because of an accident, even if its your fault. Cut sonny.

Weve seen and covered it. So, get a quote today. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum daily social distancing show. Here is the final part of my interview with Vice President joe biden. You may have respect, and you may have people coming out in many places to vote for you. But as we saw in georgia just yesterday, if those peoples votes arent counted and if those people dont get the opportunity to vote, then your entire campaign may be moot. So what is the plan up until november to make sure that people can vote, to make sure that everyone whether its republican or democrat, black or white has the opportunity to vote without being in a line thats six hours long . Its my greatest concern, my single greatest concern. This president is going it try to steal this election. This is a guy who said all mailin ballots are fraudulent, voting by mail, while he sits behind the desk in the oval office and writes his mailin ballot to vote in the primary. This is a guy, you have 23, i believe, states have passed over 82 pieces of legislation making it harder for people to vote harder. Thats why were putting together a Major Initiative of lawyers to go out and make sure that were in every single district in the country to patrol this. We need if im president and this is what worries me when im president well have sameday registration. The report is in pennsylvania theyre still counting votes. We may might not know this is an implicit threat we might not know who won in pennsylvania in the general election until a month after the election. What do you think this is about with trump . Trevor do you worry then let me ask you this and i know this is a strange question to ask an american politician, maybe easier around the world but have you considered what would happen as the election result came out as you being the winner and trump refused to leave . Yes, i have. And i was so damn proud. You have four chiefs of staff coming out and ripping the skin off of trump. And you have so many rank and file military personnel saying whoa. Were not a military state. This is not what who we are. I am convinced they will escort him from the white house with great dispatch. Trevor there are many people who have taken to the streets now. There are many black people, but there are many white people up marching with them. There are many young people who say, we need a revolution. We need to see a change in this country. I know as joe biden you have often pitched yourself as the person who is going to bring the people together, and the person who is going to transform things as opposed to just a revolution. What is your pitch to them . What is your pitch to that to that bernie voter . What is your pitch to that voter who says, joe biden, im crushed by college debt. I need to see the world change. I havent seen enough change. And dont understand why i should vote for you . When they announced all of a sudden i was the frontrunner, and the expectation was joe biden, the former environment, feels entitled. Hes the frontrunner. Lets take him down. We spent the better part of a year with a target on my back. And it worked out and people have been going, oh, i had people say, i didnt know that was your position in the environment. I didnt know you were the guy who wrote the first Climate Change bill in 1986. I didnt know you were giet who took on apartheid. I didnt know you were the guy who did that. I didnt know. Things are beginning to change and people are realizing. And i have changed. I have changed. I believe there has to be more more Debt Forgiveness for college loan. I think there has to be more opportunity to go to college for free, for free. But we have to change corporate policy, too. And the tax cut imagine just concluding i know you have to go. But imagine if we had that 2 trillion tax cut and we hadnt wasted it on the wealthy that generated virtually no growth at all, no growth at all, according to most of the conservative think tanks. Imagine if we had that 2 trillion and said were going to use that to educate people. Were going to use that to reduce student debt. We coul would be a different co. Leadership matters. Leadership matters. Trevor my final question to you pertains to the race. Youve been really tightlipped and youve played your cards close to your chest about who your running mate could be. People have thrown out names, stacey abrams, kamala harris, elizabeth warren. I have a pitch for you. Last time you teamed up with someone who was half african, and half white, and things went very well for you, mr. Vice president. And i looked at my contract and i saw that nothing stops me from being environment of the united states. Were you born in america . I dont think thats an issue to be honest for environment. It is, unfortunately, otherwise, id be asking you. laughter otherwise oh, mr. Vice president , thank you so much for your time today. Youd make a hfl a Vice President. Trevor please pass my regards to dr. Biden. Thank you so much for having me. I hope you have me on again. Well, thats our show for tonight. Before we go the daily show and Comedy Central have been donating to three groups fighting against Police Brutality and systemic racism the n. A. A. C. P.
