Reason we are all throwing dinner parties in a parking lot. Right now things are looking pretty dire. There have been over 11 million recorded cases in the u. S. And onethird of all americans know someone who has died of covid19. And with the holidays just around the corner there is both good news and bad news. The bad news, of course, is that you wont be able to spend time with your extended family. The good news is you wont have to spend time with your extended family. And this morning there was also some really good news. This morning another potential breakthrough in the battle against covid. A vaccine developed by moderna showing a 94. 5 percent efficacy rate in a trial with 30,000 participates. One big difference between the Moderna Vaccine and one developed by pfizer that also reported very promising results in early trial, moderna says its vac even doesnt need to be expect at extremely low temperatures to remain stable. That could help with shipping and driksz. Trevor yes, people, just weeks after the vaccine was announced, there is another one on the way. I mean are you serious . No vaccine, two vaccines. I mean at this point in three months, well have so many vaccines you will be able to pick the one that best fits your personality. Are you getting the moderna. No, im getting the fiedzer one, im a gemini. Now apparently the Pfizer Vaccine is 90 effective. But the Moderna Vaccine is 94. 5 percent effective. You know what that means, right. Im taking both. Because then i will be 184 percent immune from covid, baby. Whooo. When covid is in the room it is tbing to catch me, where you at, covid, this will also raise the stakes on vaccines because some scientists will come outlining i made another vaccine, it is 88 percent effective and we will be like what . Kill yourself, 88 percent dumb ass. Here is something, moderna says that its research is going much faster than expected. Because in rder to get enough data they need a certain number of people in the study to catch coronavirus. And that has been extremely easy because this pandemic is so out of control. Just imagine that for a second. We are getting the vaccine faster because of irresponsible people so go out on your balcony at 7 p. M. Tomorrow night and you clap for those people who are not wearing masks. Guysk let me tell you something. When this vaccine hits, there is a streak of the streets are gonna be lit, the end of world war ii like, i will be in time square kissing the first bat that i see, come here. Lets move on. Because even as the coronavirus is keeping most people close to home, there are still some people out there who are living their lives an even traveling. And i mean will traveling. Just hours ago spacex launched four astronauts to the International Space station. It is significant because st the first fullfledged taxi flight for nasa by private company. The crew will reach the space station late tomorrow and stay there until spring. Trevor thats right, folks. Thanks to elon musk and Spacex Astronauts can basically catch an uber to space. Although it is going to be risky. I mean you will take a an uber to space it will cost like dm 12 but when you come back to earth there will be surge pricing, 200,000k im not going to pay 200,000 to go back to earth. You could always take the bus. The bus, dudek im not trying to get probed by aliens am are you getting one star for this. I wonder what one star uber ride into space would look like. So the cockpit door blew open, the air got sucked out of the cabin, with he were dying and worst of all the charger didnt work. I for one am very excited by how much easier space travel has gotten. Think just 50 years ago a space launch was a global event. People crowded around their tvs to watch it. Now there are space launches all the time. No one cares. Soon it will be so common that like people wont even feel cool any more. It will be like telling people you are going to tulume. People are like i went to space last weeks. Congratulates on being spacex. Lets move og to ancient egypt where an incredible discover was unearthed. People in egypt digging up history dating back more than 2,000 years, arc yl guests are showcasing more than 100 coffins found in a huge bur yell ground. Each sarcophagus and coffin is painted with intri gat carvings. Xrays show mummified bodies inside. A lot of the individuals buried in these are members of highclass Egyptian Society so their coffins were Higher Quality with more he lap rat designs. They are going to go on display at egypts grand National Museum next year. Trevor wait, they just happened to find a hundred coffins . And now im sure that they are going to need money to study these coffins. I dont know guys. Sounds like a typical pyramid scheme. By the way, i love how grave robbing is okay if you just call yourself an archaeologist, that is what they are doing. They are robbing graves, the only difference is they are wearing a weird hat so it is okay. Imagine if you saw some guy digging up your grandma, hey, stop that, that is my grandmothers grave. I am wearing the hat. And did you see the look on that one mummees face. He looks like he got caught do doing something embarrassing and he really doesnt want you coping up hig sar sarcophagus. You have to assume that your grave is going to be dug up, be prepared, when i die, mi going to pose like a gangster if my coffin. So when they gig dig me up they will be like we dont foe much about this ancient culture but judging by this mans pose he was clearly a bad ass. And finally here is some weird news from the animal kingdom. We know the platypus is a strange animal, that we know. It is a mammal but it does lay eggs. It has webbed feet and duck like bill, also it produces venom. Now were also finding out that the coat of these animals glows under a black light. An article pub will bed in the journal mammal ya is if you shine a ultraviolet light on its fur it will give up a greenish blue tint. One of the few mammals known to do this. Scientists are still in the dark about why they have this trait. If there is even a reason at all. Trevor im sorry, what . Platypus glow under black light . Who made these creatures . Huh . They glow . Theyve got venom, they lay eggs, but they also have fur and they are mammals it is almost like god was finished building the earth and used the leftover pieces to build the platypus. Take the spare duckbill with the raccoon body, lets see what happens. This should be interesting. Honestly, people, we keep finding out more strange things about what platypuses do every day, at this point put them in a cockpit of a plane, maybe it knows how to fly. And also what is happening in the scientific community, huh . Half the worlds scientists are working their ass off to find a vaccine so we can go back to living our livers and the other half are i dont know, lets see what glows am i will say this, it does explain why we have never seen a platypus on an episode of csi. All right, i will use the black light to scan for any evidence of this murder scene. Okay. What do we detective platypus, what the hell . No, guys, its totally not what you think. We have to take a short break. But when we come back, President Trump officially concedes and officially unconcedes the election. What does that mean .

Youre tenacious, ill give you that [heavy breathing] product not yet rated. Welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Late last week news Network Officially called georgia for joe biden bringing the final Electoral College vote to 306232679 the exact count that donald trump won by in 2016 which basically means that trump is the Hillry Clinton of this election. Lock me up. Lock me up. Many are refusing to admit their man has lost and over the weekend they hit the streets in d. C. To make their case. While trump vowed to keep waging his uphill legal battle, thousands of supporters flooded the streets of the cap tolling. Capitol. The demonstrators rallied behind a president who has refused to concede an election he lost. Largely maskless crowd echoing his baseless claims about widespread voter fraud chanting this isnt over. Look, this isnt over, not even close to being over. Far right groups like the proud boys linked to White Supremacy and violence made themselves visible at saturdays event. Trevor wow, this is so strange. Why does the not white supremacist president have all these White Supremacists coming out to support him, its so weird. Also it is interesting how now all the Trump Supporters are suddenly okay with protesting and blocking traffic. How quickly their attitudes have changed. I bet were only three mondays away from them kneeling at Football Games like i will not stand for the anthem of a country that does not support my maganess. I actually feal bad for a lot of people. I feel bad for the people who have been brain washed into thinking that biden dont win. I feel bad for the people who got hurt in the violence that broke out and most of all i feel bad for whoevers uhaul this is. That has got to be the worst moving day of all time. Because you know that guy was like all right, i will get up really early, pack up quick, its the weekend so there wont be any traffic. And it is really no sur pries that Trump Supporters arent admitting defeat because the truth is they are just taking their lead from the man himself. President trump spent this sunday golfing and tweeting up a storm. Early this morning writing this about president elect joe biden. He won because the election was rigged. Critics and even some republican supporters took that to mean that mr. Trump was finally admitting that he had lost. But the president soon followed up with another tweet stating he biden only won in the eyes of the fake news media. I concede nothing. Last night the president tweeted i won the election even though he is behind by more than five and a half million votes. Twitter quickly flagged mr. Trumps claim notek official sources called this election differently. Trevor i will say, man, all the talk about trump being an aspiring dictator, this is some weak shit like now is the time you should be taking over all the state capitolsk installing new governors arresting opposition leaders, doing all of that. Instead he is sitting at home trying to manifest a win on twitter like a little bitch. I won, send, does that work, okay, how about i am the winner. Send. No. Okay. How about i lost, not, that is the one. Trevor is he spreading so much misinformation even twitter has had it with trump. Also if donald trump truly believed any of this nonsense, just believe he wouldnt be golfing, if you are truly fighting against wrongdoing and corruption, you generally dont find the time to squeeze in a game of golf. Nelson mandela was never like where are my where are my spikesk i got to play and oppression. But first, i have to work on my short game. At this point i feel like trump will always find time for golf no matter what is happening. He could be running away from a bear and he would still be like the bear is going to kill me. The bear is going to hold on. Remember this green is bad. Aahh, the bear. So donald trump is staying that he won the election. His supporters are saying that he won the election. But meanwhile trumps lawyers are slowly moon walking away. President trump facing a new setback in his legal challenges to the election. The Trump Campaign is abandoning a major part of his legal challenge to votes in pennsylvania. The campaign is dropping its claim that officials unlawfully blocked observers from watching ballot counting in philadelphia and pittsburgh. Today the president s lawyers dropped their lawsuit in arizona. Admitting it would not change enough votes to matter. In a pennsylvania lawsuit a judge asked trumps attorney are you claiming that there is any fraud in connection with these disputed ballots. The trump attorney admitted no. On friday a top lawyer at jonesday which has represented mr. Trumps campaign for more than four years told colleagues during a Video Conference call that jones day would not get involved in additional litigation in this election. Trevor damn, donald. You are losing court cases all over the place. It is almost like a miracle, he took one election loss and turned it into a thousand more losses. Yeah, exactly like a miracle but for losing. I mean think about it, he is the first president of the United States that lawyers dont want to represent. And lawyers will represent anybody. If you slip and fell three blocks away from a walmart, you will find a lawyer who will be like we have to sue that walmart. Youve got a case. But trump is the president and theyre like come on man, dont the best farther is how these lawsuits are slowly whittling down to nothing from where they started. Because when it kicks off, trumps lawyers were like your honor, this election was rigged. And then it was like okay, the election wasnt rigged but they didnt let us observe it. Okay, they let us observe the election but not as closely as we wanted. Okay none of that is true but can we all agree that the word election is weird its weird, right, he lechshun, sounds weird, right, we can agree on that. So look, trump can say what he wants and his supporters can also say what they want. But his lawyers clearly know the truth. And the truth is that trump lost the election and not because of any voter fraud. People voted. And on january 209. He is going to have to move out of the white house. The good news for trump is theres a guy with i uhaul who is probably still going to be out there and he can help them move. Stick around because when we come back, desi lydic goes oneonone with Tucker Carlson. And dont forget Tanehisi Coates is joining us on the show. Well be right back. burke deepsea driving, i see. customer Something Like that. burke well, heres Something Else with your farmers policy perk, new car replacement, you can get a new one. customer that is Something Else. burke get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks.

Youre tenacious, ill give you that [heavy breathing] product not yet rated. Trevor welcome back to the daily social distancing show. In these coronavirus times everyone is keeping in touch with their relatives using video quawls. And that includes our very own desi lydic who is actually related to Tucker Carlson from fox news. Yeah, believe it or not, hes her fourth cousin on her aunts side by divorce. So recently desi got in touch with cousin tuck and heres how it went. Hey cousin tuck, hows it going. Feeling a bit more relaxed now that the election is over in look, i was hoping that we could just kind of put it all behind us and get back to normal. None of this is normal. Yeah, i guess. But at the end of the day were still family. Plus i would love to start planning thanksgiving now that halloween is over. The great orange emergency has passed now. And its party time. Whooo, thats the spirit. Look, i know its going to be really hard but lets just try to not talk about poll figure politics at the table this year, okay. Tens of millions of american suspect this election was stolen from them. Tuck, this sounds like another one of your conspiracy theories. Ever wonder why people on both sides are embracing conspiracy theories, why do you think that is happening . Because you keep saying them on tv. Do you even have evidence that there was cheating . According to one affidavit a poll worker saw people bringing handfuls of ballots to a Bidenharris Campaign van. Really, they rolled up in a Biden Harris Van to cheat, that is like robbing a bank with bags that have dollar signs on them t only happens in cartoons. We dont know how many votes were stoanl on tuesday night. We dont know anything about the Software Many say was rigged. We dont know. We dont know for sure that Jared Kushner isnt a paper mashier sculpture just came to life either but we cant assume that without evidence. Were getting off topic here. Okay, this is going to be really controversial but for thanksgiving, i want to make a tofurkey this year, come on, say something, dont give me that tucker face. Its totally wrong and its he crazy. Its not crazy, cousin jessica say vegan and aunt eileen has high Blood Pressure so it is what we are having. Hang on, johns joining the zoom, hey, second cousin sean, im really happy that are you coming to thanksgiving but im going to go ahead and say it, were not talking politics at the din are table. We cannot be intimidated into silence. We need to find out exactly what happened in this election. And there are questions. And that means we have to answer them. Not at thanksgivings we dont. And im not trying to silence or intimidate anyone. Who is trying to intimidate you here. The 99 percent media mob, the washington swamp, joe biden, all desperate, they want to just call it a day and stop you from asking legitimate, tough questions about the election. Well, 2 is a good thing none of them are coming to dinner. Look, i know that we dont agree on things politically but we are all family. So can we just be nice . They hate us, they are very clear about that for four years, they never tried to hide it. That is not true, sean, i was very happy when you showed up out of the blue unannounced and completely uninvited last year. It was a nice surprise. They knew you were coming, they laughed at you when you left. Tucker, shht is one day, just give me this one day with family, without yelling or fighting or talking about conspiracy theories about the election. Can we just have that . St a national disgrace. At how they have handled this election. Okay, im hanging up now, i will talk to you at christmas. Trevor you did your best, desi, i hope thanksgiving isnt too awkward. Stick around, when we come back i will be talking to the brilliant taneh trevor welcome back to the daily social distancing show, earlier today i spoke with best selling author Tanehisi Coates, we talked about the current staift the country, his booblgs being adapted into film and what he thinks america is going to look forward to in the upcoming year, check it out. This power, is black power, originates in the view of the american galaxy taken from a dark and essential planet. Black power ask the dungeon side view of month cello which is to say the few taken in struggle, the warmth of our particular world is beautiful no matter how brief and break will. We have made something down here. They made us into a race, we made ourselves into a people. Tanehisi coates, welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Trevor, thanks for having me back, man. Trevor this is truly an honor because i just found out today you are officially the number one guest weve had on the show, as in like youve been on my show the most vehicle, yeah. Imagine that. Imagine that. Six years what a journey it has been, well five years i guess. Wow. Trevor you have been on the show six times in five years, that is what it has been. Wow, oh wow, thats great. I have no problem with that at all. Trevor i would love to know as somebody who has been talking to you over these five years and somebody with who has watched your life change dramically but not necessarily your tenor, have you seen a change in the world around you over the past five years or have you just experienced more of the world in the world, i mean specifically america, because that is what you right about to some extent i think the worst is pretty obvious. I think a quarter million and counting americans dead is pretty obvious, i have picked up a million covid cases a week. That is obviously pretty bad. And the fact that really there has been no response of note or of merit from the government. I dont flow what a state is for if it is not to prevent the senseless death of a quarter million of its inhabitants. What is the sense of having a state. Perhaps that is kind of the point. But that is probably uppermost in my head right now. In terms of turning for the best. There has been i think among a certain portion of americans outside of the africanamerican community, probably an increased awareness, you know, of certain issues. I think trump himself has probably made that hard to ignore. I think obviously the summer protests made that hard to ignore. The disproportionate impact of covid has made that hard to ignore. How long that will last or what that will come to im not sure but it certainly is a change, i would say. Weve got a few things happening in the world of ta they hisi coate, lets talk about the water dancer. The last time i was with you in the studio you were on to promote the hard cover of the book, now its out in paper back, were you exhausted promoting the book but i guess you got fresh energy. I believe that Oprah Winfrey and brad pitt have teamed up to make the book into a fim. Brad pitt and Oprah Winfrey, is there a moment where you stop and be like yo, im working with brad pitt and Oprah Winfrey, the kings and queens of white people and black people, youve won the game. I hate to break your heart but ive never met brad pitt. Trevor wow. And you know, i do know oprah a little, a little better, you know what i mean, just a little better. I dont want to take any liberties here. But knees are their production companies. You know, which obviously reflect their vision, you know what i mean, and their taste and aesthetic, not casting any shade. But its funny because like we have been going through this, well shoot, ive been, this is november now, so i have been in discussion with plan b, with brad pitts Production Company for about a year now, so it has been, when i talk to the people who work for them, like i talk to the day to day people, you know what i mean. It is constant conversation. I have been talking as recently as yesterday about how we are going to do t but when it is reported out st like hey, tanehisi is working with brad pitt and oprah. Trevor we need to switch up your game, you need to hire me, i will be the guy that calls the people without work for them and then i will tell them yeah, tanehisi will pete with brad and oprah. No, no, look, look, the people who do work for them, theyre geniuses, theyre great, i love them. I love them. I really, really do. Isnt it funny how it gets reported out because you know, i have thrown a bone du du nobody, i am throwing a bone with the didi tells me what fims i should look at and what i should be thinking about. You know what i mean. These are the voices that are actually in my head, you know what i mean, when im think being it as a fim. These are the people im getting feedback. But when it is reported in the papers it seems like you are in a room with oprah and brad pitt, all right, what do we do with this character. Like yo, this is how i think you should do it, an open where is like everybody is getting involved, that is what it feels like. It is not like that at all. Trevor but it is still a big project. I feel like all of your protects are turning into some sort of, you know, are you an author but your work, your work evokes so much imagery that it almost lends it self to being create in addition some sort of film. The saism thing is happening between the world and mek i got an opportunity to watch an advance copy of it. And i mean i love the book. Everyone loves the book, there is a reason New York Times best seller forever but i think seeing people reenact portions of the book in a way that makes the conversation different, it really changed the book. I dont know how to articulate it reallyk. Because for those who dont know, you wrote the book n2015 it was a huge best seller and in many ways it shaped conversations that people have in and around race in america, you know . Now what you have done with hbo is they created this film based on the book. And it has everybody. I mean from herb la ali to Oprah Winfrey and ti and yara. And all these people. And joe wharton, my favorite in it because of how he articulates what is happening in the book. And it is a conversation, the way you wrote it was a conversation a letter from yourself to your then 14 year old son. When you look at what the project is now, first of all, why do you think all of those big names agreed to do it. And what do you think changed in the project . Like when you put faces to it . So now i have to play the brad pitt oprah role because i did nothing on that film. Like feedback. I have no incite into, it is a beautiful film, let me be clear, its beautiful. Im not exactly sure why or im not exactly sure how, you know, it was made. It is directed by pie good friend camila ford, produced by her and susan watson of this is us fame. So there is a kind of intimacy and bond. Trevor because it is so true to your work. Yeah. Trevor it is surprising to hear you say no, i wasnt you are in the film. I am, but im not, those, that is not i would have no idea how to turn between the world and me into a fim, none, none, absolutely none. And so i just, camila is somebody i really, really trust because she had done the they at kal, and i had worked with her. But when we were pitching, you know, Like Networks and everything, i remember being in those meetings and over zoom, obviously but being in those meetings and i wasnt nervous at all. Because i had really complete faith that she was going to do something special. What that special thing would be, i had no idea. Not my problem. Trevor okay, so then you were in an interesting position because were you as surprised as i was when you watched it then. So when you did watch it, did you feel like it kept the essence of what the book was or do you think it added Something Different that the book didnt . I think it added Something Different, man. Because i think when you write a book, you are trying to achieve the very intimate oneonone experience with a reader. You know, it is just you an the reader locked in this one place. And the singular voice that the reader hes hears that comes out as collaboration teu. Theater to say nothing of television, is totally different in the sense that there was nothing i could have done in between the world and me that would have allowed for you to see it the way you see it with angela davis reads those words. Trevor right. When courteney it is very different thing, i cant do that. I cant do that. And frankly, one of the things we talked about this before. One of the critiques between and me was it didnt open itself up in terms of gender. You know t didnt have, you know, it was heavily black male experience. And my thing was always i hear that but i really dont know what i as a writer, you know what i mean, could do differently within the scope of what that book was. And yet when i saw the film, and i saw it and it say dear son, dear daughter, dear nephew, dear cousin, you know what i mean, even, it took me back to having a black women, having transwomen, in that reading, it opens up, it becomes something that is much more than the book could actually be. Trevor thats amazing, man. I find myself wondering when i was watching t i was like this say book that you wrote for yourself son. I mean its for the people but you wrote it to your soa, your 14 year old son at the time. I would love to know what conversations you had with your son now who is 19 and also what you would have said to him then but he was too young for you to have a conversation about. Like how is that relationship evolved. So he turned 20 in august which is a crucial age, very, very crucial age. Because you know, hes obviously very much not a boy any more. He is very much a young man, an adult. Out on his own. I find myself, its funny these days, probably listening to samari more than i find myself telling him anything. He has his own interests. You know, his own things that he is pursuing. So probably never more in my life in our relationship have i actually listened more than i have talked, actually. Trevor wow. Wow, its fascinating. Because i will never be a 20 year old young black male right now. I wont have that experience. It is kind of fascinating to be listening to him, you know, talk and how he sees the world. Trevor what would you say is the biggest difference in the way the two of you see the world. Im sure you have a lot of similarities. But i will find i have with my younger brother, for instance, or anyone, really, if you share a connection with them but they are of a different generation, sometimes they just see one part of the world in a different way to you because of when they were born and how they were raised. Do you have Something Like that where you look at your son and are you like oh yeah, i guess. Z he is who i was with ten times the confidence and maybe ten times the opportunity. Yeah, i recognize a lot of myself in haim but hes much, much more confident. And i think that comes out of how or where, rather, not even how, where he was raise add opposed to where i was raised, the environment i was in, me and my wife talk about this all the time. About how we were constantly fielding shielding ourselves from things, ducking, worried about what would happen here. And he has a lot less of that. And thus has a much higher degree of belief in his ability to almost out of his sheer will just conjure things. And to the extent that there is some talk that is often pulling him back from that, you know. Because i think it is good, its good. I really love to see it but sometimes you can go a little too far with that. Trevor bmp i let you go, have i to ask you a question that i think i have asked you every time you have been on the show. Because are you my favorite person and only person i ask this question to. But looking at the election and looking at like the vaccine and just like where we are now, how optimistic is Tanehisi Coates now about america. Its a struggle. It is going to be a struggle. Its goes to be a struggle for awhile i think. I think i think it was enormous damage done over the last four years. I think for a party to deny the previous president the opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court judge, a lifetime appointment, to when but not to the popular vote, and then to appoint three and four years. I think that the damage to democratic legitimacy, piled on to Everything Else that trump has done, i think is enormous. I think is enormous. And i expect to actually outlive me, the damage, i think is really significant. So i think were in for some tough times, you know, but you foe again, i think have i said this before. Being africanamerican, being the proagainy of people who were enslaved in this country for 250 years and who lived through another subsequent 100 yearses of jim crow, having been born at the time of the rise of practices incarceration thark was us, when was it not, you know, as it is. Is it worse now than it was then, no, its not worse. I wouldnt say that. You know, so this is the condition. This is where we are. Trevor as always, i appreciate having you on. Im excited for the movie adaptation of your book that are you not working on with brad pitt and oprah. And excited for the film that was made from your work but you are just like im going to watch itness. So either way, im excited for you, thank you so much for taking the time. Good seeing you, look after yourself. Thank you. Trevor dont forget, the paper back of the water dancer available november 17th and between the world and me will premier on hbo on november 21s and then be available to stream on hbo max.
