Trevor lets begin with the police. If youre black, you know them as the guys pulling you over. If youre white, you know them as the guys that give lap dances at bachelorette parties. For three weeks since the killing of george floyd, millions of people around the country have been calling for police to be reined in. And after weeks of local leaders responding to the protests, today, the president carefull carefully shuffled down the ramp into the fray. Called for some modest changes, like a database to track police misconduct. There was a new thing that would challenger Police Departments not to use choke holds, saying the choke holds should not be used unless an officer felt like his life was in danger, which means the thing can be used, but it cant be used. But it can be used. When trump came out to make these remarks, it just felt like his heart wasnt in it. Americans believe we must summit the brave men and women in blue who police our streets and keep them safe. Americans know the truth. Without police there is chaos. Without law there is anarchy, and without safety there is catastrophe. Americans want law and order. They demand law and order. They may not say it. They may not be talking about it but thats what they want. Some of them may not know thats what they want but thats what they want. We will have law with our extremely talented Law Enforcement officers. President obama, and Vice President biden never even tried to fix this during their eightyear period. Trevor donald trump is always constantly downplaying the number of bad cops. If bad cops was a minor problem you wouldnt have huge protests in every city. You would just be able to point to the bad cop and say, gary, cut that shit out. Trumped signed an exclusive order that was supposed to cut down on trump violence but spent the whole time praising the police. Trumps executive order clearly doesnt have much teeth, but some places are taking steps that really could make a difference. New york has just disbanded a 600member undercover unit for a long history of abuse. And San Francisco and albuquerque are now saying soon when some residents call 911, they wont get the police at all. Instead, calls for situations involving drug overdose, the homeless and people in mental distress will be answered by an often armed professional who is trained in those fields. And i think i mean we can all agree this is long overdo in america. Police in america do too much. So if you can avoid bringing armed police to these situations in the first place, that should be the goal. Because wherever a gun is present, it means theres a chance the gun is going to go off. If theres a gun in a club and a fight breaks out, theres a chance a gun will go off in the club. If kids are playing and a gun is around, theres a chance the gun will go off. If theres a couple fighting and theres a gun around, theres a chance that gun is going to go off. Having a gun gives every tense situation the potential to end in death. Think of the last time you played monopoly. Now imagine having a gun there. Its gonig to end like a tarantino movie. And i know this seems like a radicality idea to some people. Some of you are like, what, do you mean youre not going to send the cops. Think about it, its the same thing we did with ghostbusters. Yeah, they used to send cops when ghosts showed up, and then they realized, these are not the right people for this kind of job. So they created the ghostbusters, and they didnt have guns. They had ghost vacuum cleaners, and it worked way better, and it was also funnier. In fact, maybe more people would get on board if we just made up a cool name for the social workers we send out. Who you gonna call . Systemicsocietalissue busters as the protests can gone on, the focus has expanded from Police Abuses to other forms of systemic racism. A lot of attention has been given to confederate monuments. But in new mexico, the big debate is another statue of a brutal man from history. Lets get to new mexico, where a man was shot last night over a protest over a statue of a spanish conquistador. Demonstrators were trying to tear down the statue, while also clashing with members of a selfappointed Armed Civilian militia who vowed to protect the statue. The victim is in critical but stable condition right now. Several people believed to be militia members involved in the shoot regular now in custody while police investigate. The city says the statue will now be taken down for Public Safety reasons. Trevor first of all, the fact the news can say the phrase, selfappointed Armed Civilian militia, like its normal, tells you that something is very wrong in america. In africa we call them rebel forces. Look at those selfappointed militia who have gathered together to overthrow somebodyap ah, yes, yes. Much like the debate over confederate statues, this debate is about why in america anyone would have a statue honoring a 16th century spanish conquistador, who, by the way, enslaved and massacred hundreds of indigenous people. This shows the problem with statues in general. We dont need statues anymore, people. It doesnt matter who theyre for. We dont need statues. Statues are like tweets. The type you make them they seem cool but if you leave them up for to go at some point theyll become problematic. If you ask me, statutes shouldnt be built to last forever. They should be designed to naturally dissolve after a few years, like a hollywood marriage. And then once it crumbles, you can decide as a society whether its worth rebuilding, like a hollywood face. Now you are changing the whole dynamic of the debate. Think about it its a lot easier for people to fight and say, lets leave up the statue. Its part of our history. Its a lot harder to issue, okay, guys, we need to raise money for a new bill cosby standpointue. By the way, why does a 16th century spanish conquistador have such a devoted angry fan club to begin with. Who are you people . Why is this your hero . Why caercht you be obsessed with beyonce like normal people. Conquistador, theyre not even here. They dont have number one hits. No one is singing conquistador songs. All the conquistadors, all the conquistadors. That wasnt a hit. Maybe the biggest sign of the power of the black lives movement right now is it is changing americas cultural institutions. Just look at the n. F. L. , which is surprising everyone with a highprofile reversal. N. F. L. Commissioner Roger Goodell weighing in on quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has not played since 2016, when he first started kneeling during the National Anthem to protest racial inequality. Well, goodell now saying he encourages a team to sign kaepernick. I welcome that out a club making that decision and i encourage them to do that. Goodell again says he and the league were wrong to oppose the kneeling protests started by kaepernick. We should have listened to our players earlier. Our players including Colin Kaepernick. Trevor goddamn. All of a sudden, Roger Goodell wants Colin Kaepernick back in the league. No one from the n. F. L. Has been jerked around this much since robert kraft went to that massage parlor. This move by the n. F. L. Is a lot like when your parents finally admit you were right but its like a decade after they punished you. Thank you for giving me my discman back. Now ill go find some cds. And i know some are saying its just putting a bandaid on the problem, to when bandaid replied, no, this is putting a bandaid on the problem. Bandaid is looking to be more inclusive. The brand is launching a new line of bandages in different skin tones, from beige to dark brown. The company, which is owned by johnson johnson, says the move is meant to embrace the beauty of diverse skin. No words on when these new bandages will be available in stores. Trevor thats right, after 100 years of existence, bandaids are finally discovering that some people are not white. Sadly, its too little too late for nanny. Dont get me long. I think its long overdue for racial minorities to have products that recognize our existence. Its just a little weird that elmo got bandaids before black people. I just hope they stop at a few shades, because if you give people too many options, its going to become a problem. Youll be bleeding out in the store like, no, not that one. No, not that one. I spent a bit of time in the sun. Thats nice, thats nice. Oh, and while youre at the drug store to buy the new black bandaids, you can also pick up some black Beauty Products with a lot less hassle than before. Walmart says they will no longer put black hair Care Products in their locked cases. Walmart told nbc news the company is sensitive to the issues and understand the concerns and the changes will be implemented as soon as as possible. Trevor for years, walmart and other drug stores have been locking up black hair and Beauty Products, and not the white products. Even black Hair Products suffer from mass incarceration. What is this shit, huh . This is great news. What portsmouth of walmart is saying i hrpd you were talking about walmart trevor i was dulce, but how did you . Never mind that. I got some thoughts. Trevor i want to know how you hacked into anyway, i imagine youre pretty happy that walmart is getting rid of this policy, right . Yes. Free at last, free at last. Thank god almighty, the black hair care is free at last not only did this racist ass policy treat black people like thieves, but you know what the worst part . It made every trip to walmart ten times longer trevor why would it be longer . Because i had to go on a magical quest to find the person with the key who then had to unlock the cage who could finally retrieve my treasure. Its like a black lord of the rings. Trevor its like an extra 10 minutes. Why does it matter . Do you know how long it takes to style natural hair . Do you know how much i have to go through the magical process, the moon, the stars and the products that have to come together for this to grace the plan snet thats time consuming. Its wash day. Its a whole day its prepooing, shampooing, deep conditioning, and then i gotta bail my hair care out of jail. No. Trevor wait, bail your hair care you mean buying the products. No, its bail. I have to sign a piece of paper. I have to put my house up. Its a whole thing. Trevor i dont know where youre buying your hair Care Products but i understand what youre saying, dulce. I think its great news the policy is ending. And i bet you will be going to walmart soon. I have already been, and just so you knowuc i sent you a Little Something in the mail, i see you need some help. You have no hair and makeup and you have a quarantine baby fro. Youre looking kind of dry. Trevor wait, wait, what do you mean its i used i used bye trevor no, dulce, wait. Dry . I prepoo. When we come back, Michael Kosta, jaboukie youngwhite are going to be discussing the best ways to fight for equality. So stick around. Find new listings so quickly . operator got another vacancy at fifth and pine. brad oh, thats good. Apartmentsdotcom. The most popular place to find a place. Good mormore treatment . Were going to try Something Different today. Hi awwww, so pretty. Dogs bring out the good in us. PedigreeĀ® brings out the good in them. Sixtytwo thousand seven hundred and ten dollars and thirtyone cents. Sofi allowed me to refinance all of my loans to one low Interest Rate and an affordable monthly payment. And i just feel like theres an end in sight now and that my debt doesnt define me anymore. Sofi is helping me get my money right. Could put cookies creme in twix. Twix sofi is helping me get my money right. This is a right twix. Excuse me. [screams into pillow] new twix cookies creme. I never dwell in the moment im just constantly focused on the next thing. When i reach a goal, i cross it off and set a new one. Over the past few weeks, millions of people have been trying to get involved in Racial Justice issues for the first time. Theyre marching, theyre protesting, and theyre donating money. In fact, some groups supporting the protests have gotten so much money, theyre asking people to stop donating to them and donate somewhere else, which is way more altruistic than i would be if my charity was overrun with donations. Im not going to lie. Id be like, we liberated all the protesters from jail. Now lets liberate that maserati from the dealership. So with so many newcomers to the black lives Matter Movement, a lot of people are having conversations about what they can do to further the cause, and what doesnt help the cause. To move that forward, our very own jaboukie youngwhite and Michael Kosta had one of those very needed conversations. Michael, so many people are joining the black lives Matter Movement, including white people, which i think is ironic, considering how quickly white people get on to black trends. Like, why didnt this happen earlier . Yeees go off, jaboukie. Whats important, though, is that were finally all on the same page. Were fighting to End Police Brutality and end systemic racism. Yes, yeah, no, yeah, and now that were all on the same page we can focus on making sure everybody is taking action, you know, effective action, not just black squares on instagram. I could be the agree more, jaboukie. Posting a black square on instagram means nothing. Thats why i tato do a black square on to my body. Thats commitment. Why does that look like youre covering up a worst tattoo. Its actually a third nipple that im covering. Look, ill be tattooing a black square on my body until we dismantle racism in this country or i run out of skin. Whichever comes first. Youre probably going to run out of skin first, and then youll be in permanent black face. Black face . Shit. Why does everything i do end up in black face. Forget the black square. Whats important is to remind people theres still a lot you can do to help. Right, like protesting, donating, volunteering for campaigns. Watching the help every day, text messaging yu black friend, we go . Which, by the way, jaboukie, we good . No, no, not if thats all youre doing. Its not. Im doing more. I made a celebritystyle video to showeb how committed i am. Take a look at this. Black lives matter. Black lives matter. Black lives matter. Your spirit is in the right place. But you know that theres a difference between symbols and nice gestures and stuff like that, and then actual change and action. You know that that, right . I know about change. Yeah . Im all about change. Remember this guy . Yeah. Hey, hey, walter its not walter. I changed his name. His new name is racism is bad. Isnt that right . I love you so much, racism is bad. Oh, my god. See, okay, this is exactly what im talking about. Like what is it going to take for white people to just genuinely want action or change or or wait. Hey yeah kosta. Did you know that cops kill hundreds of dogs every year . What. Yes. And you know what . Most of them unarmed. Well, weve got to defund the police then. All right, yeah. Thats not even enough. Weve get to abolish the police. 100 . bleep we have to dismantle the entire military industrial complex. Okay wait, wait, i just donated all my money to the n. A. A. C. P. Why are we still sitting here . I dont know. We need to get out on the streets. Racism is bad. We need to go to washington. Lets go, lets go, lets go. All right, okay. I knew it would work. Trevor smart thinking, jaboukie. When we come back, well be talking with republican senator tim scott. So stick around. Tomorrow can only be better with wendys breakfast. Win with a breakfast baconator, honey butter chicken biscuit, sausage egg and swiss croissant or frostyccino. And get another for a dollar. You and wendys breakfast.

[son] im bleeding. Grab two. Sheba. What cats want. Trevor welcome back to the daily social distancing show. My first guest tonight is the republican senator from south carolina, tim scott. Earlier today, we spoke about leading his partys effort on Police Reform in the senate and about working with President Trump. Check it out. Senator tim scott, welcome to the daily social distance show. Youre welcome. Thank you for having me. Trevor thank you so much for being here, especially on today. We saw the president of the United States come out and release what many people were surprised to see from him, you know, a sweeping reform in his opinion on police force. Some people thought, like, it didnt go too far. For President Trump, some people were shocked he even did anything at all. Upper in the room. You have been part of those discussions. What did you make of the executive order . I thought it was a good day. I thought it was a strong day for the country. I was glad the president took up the issue so many of us have talked about most of the of our lives. If i started this journey five years ago working on the walter scott notification act, and to be here now with the president signing an executive order which disease with some of the more important issues like the choke hold, to the importance of the coresponders, those folks who have Mental Health issues or addiction issues, this president has done something that almost all the folks on the other side said he would never do. And he found the path forward, and i will say thanks to the president for listening on this important issue. Trevor what ive been really intrigued by, especially in your journey, is something you alluded to in your tweets, that there is this is an issue that affects all black people. Youve shared your personal experiences, being pulled over by the police seven times in one year pup shared how that affects you as a human being and how reforms need to be made. Yes. Trevor what do you think politicians on both sides of the iefg are missing in how they address these issues for black people in america . You know, honestly, thats a great question, trevor. From my perspective, we are missing the if youre talking about the institutions of authority and the power to kill you, for us to not take this issue seriously, not as politicians, but as americans, theres a reason why the institutions of authority are losing credibility in communities of color, its because they keep shouting about the same things and nothing changes. That is dehumanizing. It lowers all your expectations from society, and it leads to a level of frustration and irritation that is really hard to handle. And so when you see these situations unfolding so many times, you finally get to the point what in the heavens will cause a change and, frankly, had it not been for a video camera, i dont think most people would have believed that that officer had his knee on the neck for eight and a half minutes. Had it not been for a video camera, they would not have believed walter scott was shot in the back five times without a weapon. Had it not been the ability to record these issues, people would not believe us, even to this day. And thats why i apologize for getting so excited about this issue but this is something weve been working on forever, it feels like. I did a driving while black bit when i was on county council 20plus years ago. Trevor wow. And to think of the number of people who have had to have their car surrounded because they were simply going to see their grandparents, likeis. To know there are men and women in this country who feel like they are less than human or that theyre less valuable than someone else just because of the considerable of their skin. So whether you love President Trump or hate President Trump, i dont care. If you love americans, we should be thankful that were having this conversation and making some progress in the right direction on an issue that has plagued the African American community in the same fashion that the covid19 is plaguing the world. Its that serious. Trevor one thing i didnt appreciate, personally, was how people were tweeting at you. When it was announced that you were going to be leading the republican effort, people said,of course, the token black guy. The one black guy, the token and it implied in many ways that you were only getting this position because it was saving face, as opposed to the reason you have been pushing the most in the republican party. Is there a way you managed to convince some of your colleagues and said i know you believe youre a law and order person but the people meant to be upholding law and order have no order. How do you convey that message to some of your colleagues . I know law and order has so many definitions. But if you really believe in the law and order concept, the people who believe in it most is the African American community. Frankly, what we want are laws that apply equally in this nation to every single one of us. I want to say to the kids that are coming up now, we see you. Youre not invisible. I want them to understand that this country stands for them. And if i have to take the crap from people who want to call me a token because im the guy that had the actual experience, im the one that went to the leader of the senate and said, put me in charge because im the guy that understands both how to respect the communities of color and how to cooperate and work with the Law Enforcement community so that theres not a binary choice. This does not work to our advantage if theres a binary choice. We actually dont need a binary choice. We need one choice, thats it lady of justice blindfolded. Thats what we need. Thats what we want and thats what everyone deserves. Trevor lets talk about some of the reforms youre proposing. I read through them. What intrigued me say lot of things you have been pushing for years, a lot of things you have been proposing for years match up with what some people would call defund the police today or abolish. I know it becomes messy. Everyone has a different definition of what defund means, abolish. It can be messy. Tell me your ideas because i know you have some sweeping reforms that you think need to be introduced into policing in america. We need all the information, frankly. The house bill and my bill, we have this in agreement. We want to have all the information sent to the department of justice, perhaps the f. B. I. , so that we know whats actually happening in the country. About 40 of departments provide information to whats happening. We want it on serious Bodily Injury and on death, because we believe that you look at the walter scott swaid, the george floyd situation, and the Breonna Taylor situation, all those things that happened, those tragedies, atrocities, theres not any information. You look at the incident report on Breonna Taylor its basically blank, and no injuries. So weve actually enhanced the penalties for false Police Reports in my legislation. We actually say not only do we want the data, that we then want to direct officers in training through our grants so as to get to the choke hold. If you allow choke holds in your department, you become ineligible for those resources. And thats a good thing. From my perspective, if were going to have substantial, systemic change that moves us in the right direction, the one thing the federal government has is the power of the purse. We dont have the ability to control the local resources. But we can control the federal grants that come into departments. And in my opinion, i would rather pay for good outcomes, and if i do that, weve done it right, in my opinion. Trevor you are in a position that Many Americans are in where they know somebody or they work with somebody who theyre trying to convince to do something about the police, which inherently offends many people. Have you made any progress . And if so, how have you managed to make that progress . How do you convince somebody who sees this issue completely differently to you that this needs to be done . Well, the one thing i start with is a personal story. No one can argue and dispute your personal experience. I think its powerful, especially as a guy everybody says the people that get stopped are involved in something bad. Well, i have taken the time, and i have a list of strong, powerful, wellpositioned African Americans to include the head of Police Departments who have been stopped by their own departments. So what i try to do is create the narrative that this is not has nothing to do with your criminal past. This has nothing to do with a record inspect has to do with the color of your skin. So having the ability to have credibility on my side of the aisle to have that conversation, actually engages them in a powerful way. On the other side what, i try to say to my friends on the other side splease, do not let the Police Unions stop you from looking at my bill seriously because talking to my friends, they tell me that theyre not allowed to sponsor my legislation because the Police Unions are afraid of it. I dont get it. And so on my side, i try to use personal stories. On their side, i try to use common sense and the long view. Im hoping, trevor, that my bill gets a vote, and we get it passed. The house bill is going to get a vote and its going to pass. Wouldnt it be nice for us to find the 85 within the two bills. More resources for the right reasons. Lets deescalate to save lives. Lets have a duty to intervene so three guys arent watching one guy on someones neck. Lets make sure were having the right conversations. Lets make sure were dealing with the Mental Health issues, were dealing with addiction, were dealing with homelessness in an ethical manner. Lets make sure we provide outcomes. If we can do that and were 80 in agreement, ill take 80. I dont need my legislation to become law. I want something that says to my nephew at 29 years old or you at 36 years old, that the next generation of americans, we see you. If i can do that in this job that i have now, all the name calling and all the bickering and all the crap i take will be well worth it, because someone like john lewis made it possible for me to sit in a United States Senate Building as the senator and not as a staffer. God has been good. We just need to make sure that its better for people who are coming behind us. Trevor senator tim scott. Thank you so much for your time. Yes, sir, have a good day. Trevor thank you, senator scott. After the break, ill be talking to actress and activist Gabrielle Union more than a mcchicken. It could be the first one youre having with friends in a while. This filetofish could be the first lunch you made into an actual lunch break. And these mcnuggets could be your first field trip since school merged with home. Whatever this order is for you, well be here to take it. Hcaramel, peanuts, ands chocolate into reeses take5 . What a minute. How do we do it . Im tired of being left off Company Emails can someone tell me how we do it . Not sorry reeses. We stick together, for worse or for better yeah through any kind of weather, yo youre my friend in need. come on, come on we stick together, we make the sunshine brighter, we make it all feel better, youre my, youre my, woo, yeah youre my family. yo youre my family. Daily social distancing show. Earlier today, i spoke with the multitalented Gabrielle Union. We talked about the black lives Matter Movement and the history of Racial Injustice it is attempting to change. Check it out. Gabrielle union, welcome to the daily social distance show. Thank you for having me. Trevor its quite a time to have you on the show because everyone in america is having conversations now, you know. Everyone in america is having conversations that theyve either been avoiding, theyve either been ignoring, or they just didnt have the time to have. But because of coronavirus, everyone is having these conversations in and around race. And feel like youre one of the people who is having some of these conversations before they were quote, unquote cool. Talk me through what youre experiencing right now. Its been honestly, its just one big anxiety attack between the global pandemic, you know, the world is experiencing, and waking up every day to the brutalization, the murder of black bodies. Its its daily. The nonstop onslaught of trauma is i dont even know if anxiety is a big enough word. I dont know if depression is a big enough word to encompass what this all feels like. It just feels like terror in my body. And you try to figure out how best you can hope and then help. Trevor conversations are being had that i didnt even think people would be having for maybe, you know, five years or even 10 years. You know, yes, it started with george floyd. That protest sparked everything. And then Breonna Taylor and all of these bodies, as you talk about. And then it became not just about the black people who have lost their lives but black people who still are living their lives and evolve from the police to people genuinely having conversations about just the environments that inherently are a byproduct of systemic racism. And People Struggle to understand. I know a lot of white people who have genuinely said, i dont understand it. I said because you cant see a thing when the thing is not affecting you. We have seen this in institutions everywhere. Weve seen this all over america. And you were one of the faces that people first associated with these stories where they went, wow, i know that working in a company i might have an issue being black and someone might say that me standing up for myself is me being aggressive or me being hyper this or me being violent when i wasnt. You became one of those faces in the entertainment industry. People were shocked. They said, Gabrielle Union, you have it great, dont you . And yet, very quickly, we realized everyone can experience this in a different way in varying levels. Absolutely. And i think the New York Times did an article the other day about when amy cooper and christian coopers lives converged. And the fact that the amy cooper central park situation happened on the same day as george floyd lost his life, and you realize how far antiblackness and the weaponnization of whiteness, how far it can go. We saw what happened in that park that day. Amy cooper did not believe that the rules and laws applied to her. And she believed that in her wrongness, she would be able to weaponize the police against a black man. She just happened to choose the wrong black man. And in that same vene, you see how antiblackness and profiling led to George Floyds death. So along this spectrum, we all live within this spectrum, right . So with a. G. T. , trying to work within a system of i thought it was the easiest show how hard is it to watch jugglers . Thats what i thought i signed up for day one, simon cowl is smoking cigarettes inside. I worked a long time. Ive worked with all kinds of people. Ive never experienced that. So when your boss, the person who has the ability to determine who gets opportunities and who doesnt, doesnt believe that the law applies to him or the rules apply to him, and he does it in full view of nbc, and no one cares about simon cowell, you know, exposing all of these employees to secondhand smoke, thats day within. Thats within the first what message do you think that sends to anyone that has an issue with the very real racism and the lack of accountability . And it goes on and on and on. They you know, during the i decided to participate in this investigation, that they were like, im going to were going to commission this independent investigation. Well, silly me, i thought independent was independent. But when nbc and freemantel and psycho paid for that investigation, they control it. So throughout that investigation, that i participated in. I talked about, you know, being in there for five and a half hours. Im about labor, treating employees fairly. Nobodys asking for anything special. Nobodys asking for somebody to separate their skittles or, you know, their m ms, whatever, just treat people fairly. Have mechanisms in place for when things happen, there are consequences. And i participated in this investigation, and the investigation was ongoing. They turn over what they believe to be inflammatory things or things that are not advan tablous to me over to the head of nbc, who then uses those things that he thinks are smoking guns to, like, shoot down my claims. He then threatens my agent gabrielle better watch who she calls a racist, in the middle of an investigation about racism and discrimination . This is what is happening from the top of the company. So as were all as were all wanting to be part of the solution, as were all wanting change, we have to hold the people at the very top accountable. Trevor let me let me ask you this question what do you think the industry could be doing better to help black people . And i mean, on all levels. Everyone from, you know, working in the crew all the way through to what we see on the screen . We haveee we have been so committed as an industry i mean, and every industry is facing the same thing with going along to get along, trying to figure out how you work around the bad apples as opposed to addressing and making those bad apples accountable and their being real consequences. So in front of and behind the camera, so there has to be an increase in representation across the board, from the top to the bottom. Who gets to make the decisions of which projects to green light . Who is a part of those Development Processes . Who gets to determine budgets . Who gets to determine who gets opportunities and why . How have you actually empowered h. R. . H. R. Has become synonymous with how internal affairs is portrayed on police shows. They have to be held accountable. We have to be able to be okay with change that doesnt always benefit us, you know. Some people believe that leadership its only way to leave is to center yourself in every argument. What im learning throughout this whole process is sometimes the best way to lead is to get out of the way and make room for someone else. You have to dismantle the whole thing. Its its you cant put a bandaid on a gunshot. We cant. Trevor Gabrielle Union, thank you so much for joining me on the show. Hopefully next time, well be chatting about how many things moved forward, and well get to laugh a lot more. I appreciate you. Thank you so much, trevor. Trevor say hi to the family for me. 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.
