Transcripts For COM The Daily Show With Trevor Noah 20240712

New york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. Trevor right now, the only news america is talking about is the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Aka the notorious r. B. G. As im sure you know, the Iconic Supreme Court justice died over the weekend at the age of 87. A little bit later on in the show, we will talk about her life and legacy. But first we have to start with the allout war brewing over her reblame it because you may remember that when Justice Antonin Scalia died nine months before the 2016 election and president obama tried to replace him with merrick garland, Mitch Mcconnell and the g. O. P. Blocked it, and their reasoning was a Supreme Court vacancy so close to an election should be held for the next president so that the people can decide. Well, you might want to s. A. T. Down for this one because, guess what theyre saying now . President donald trump and his republican allies are forging full speed ahead to nominate a successor in some case defying promises they made four years ago to do the exact opposite if the situation arose. Less than 24 hours after Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg died friday, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell vowing President Trumps nominee to replace her will get a vote in the senate. President trump says he will put forward his nominee this week. When you have the senate, when you have the votes, you can do what you want as long as you have it. Trevor well, there you have it, folks when you have the senate, you can do whatever you want. Trump is right, its basically when youre a star they let you do it, but of judicial appointments its truly amazing how Mitch Mcconnells rules keep change. First it was oh, we cant nominate a Supreme Court justice during an election year. Then its like, asterisk, that rule doesnt apply when we have the white house. Dont be shocked when Mitch Mcconnell says, how come the Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment but our great president is not. You guys feel me . Speaking of lifetime appointments, i cant believe donald j. Trump, people, gets to name three justices to the Supreme Court. The guy cant even name three branches of government but he gets to name three justices who serve for life this is the same guy who has fired everyone he hired because of how bad he is at hiring people for life trump cant even pick his own partner for life but he gets to do it for america . This country is rock and roll. I dont think anybodys surprised Senate Republicans said one thing when obama was president an another thing when its trump. I mean, you cant even call them inconsistent, you know. Doing whatever it takes to get his way is the one consistent principle that Mitch Mcconnell lives by. Its that and eating baby birds right out of the nest. Still, it has been pretty incredible watching some of these senators abandon their past promises, and no one was abandoning harder than a senior senator from South Carolina and assistant manager of chickfila lindLindsey Graham. Republican senator Lindsey Grahams records are haunting him, hes now vowing to support trump in any effort to november forward in filling ginsburgs seat in filling the election. Heres what he said in 2016 when president obama was in office. I want you to use my words against me if theres a republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said lets let the next president , whoever it might be, make that nomination, and you could use my words against me and you would be absolutely right. We are setting a precedent here today, republicans are, that youre not going to fill a vacancy of the Supreme Court. Thats going to be the new rule. And he repeated this in 2018. If an opening comes in the last year of President Trumps term and the primary process has started, well wait till the next election. Youre on th on the record. Yeah, hold the tape off. Trevor okay, i know he looks like a giant hypocrite and an asshole right now, but in Lindsey Grahams defense, he didnt know this would happen. Its the same way you say, oh, you know, if i won the lottery, i i would give most to have the money to an orphanage. I dont need it that much. Yeah, but then when you actually win the lottery, youre knocking down the orphanage to build an extra garage for your cars. Unlike a child, ab a bugatti cat sleep outside sometimes i tell myself im not going to eat another or owe, then totally overturn roe v. Wade. I have no will power, guys. What really doesnt help Lindsey Graham is he explicitly said, i want you to use my words against me so creepy. Sounds like some kind of weird Senate Version of bdsm. Thats right, you take that sentence, and you play it back to me you play it hard, and you make me feel ashamed. Yeah, you make me feel real bad with that tape, you just keep playing it to me. Now, there are a couple of republican senators who have said they dont fear filling the seat before the election. But pretty much every other senator seems to be fine with blatant hypocrisy. Easy to see why, a solid conservative majority on the Supreme Court could kill obamacare, undo abortion rights and strike down any liberal policies for decades to come, even after trump leaves, his legacy will be in the dpowrnt cy for decades. Its like if somebody came into your house to say hey but stepped in dog shit before entering, now its deep in the carpet an doesnt have to leave till it wants to. Phasing trumps third Supreme Court appointment in less than four years, whats left for the democrats to do . Joe biden is asking republican senators to follow their conscience, which im pretty sure is exactly what republicans are doing this is like telling han ball lector to go with his gut. You will about lose your face. To help me get a handle on the hypocrisy of the g. O. P. Senators, im going to turn to a man who cant pronounce hypocrisy, michael kosta. Michael, help me out with this, my friend, because i really dont understand how republicans can be so inconsistent. Well, i didnt understand their hypocrysee either, trevor. But i did a bit of research and i figured it out theyre lying. Trevor lying . Yeah, its a crazy new thing. Let me explain to you how it works you Say Something but you dont actually mean it, and then you can just do whatever you want. Trevor but, michael, then people will know that you lied. Thats the best part because if they call you out, you just lie again, and this just goes on forever and ever until the people you lied to are so worn out and defeated that they have to lie down. Thats why its called lying, trevor. Its amazing. Have you not heard about this . Trevor yeah, kosta, i know what lying is. Why didnt you tell me about it . All those times i didnt want to go to a Birthday Party and i broke my leg, i could have just said i broke my leg. Trevor how many times did you break your own leg . I have never been to a Birthday Party. Thats how many times. Im going to be lying all the time from now. Im going to lie if i dont want to go to a wedding, im going to lie if i dont want to go to book club, or work trevor whoa, whoa, whoa, kosta, dont you start lying to me. Oh, no, trevor, i would never lie to you. Trevor michael, i could see you winking. Oh, damn it im so new to this that im not okay. Hey, i gotta go anyways, i definitely dont have to masturbate. Trevor kosta, just get out of here. Well take a quick break and when we come back, well look at the amazing legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Sure, sure i always loved you. Oh man. Missed it again. Alexa, rewind 10 seconds. I love bedtime. The thin, sweet bite to end the night. Oreo thins. Patience is not a virtue, it is a weapon. Whats your wild rabbit . Show, everybody. As we were talking about earlier, Ruth Bader Ginsburgs death has sparked a nationwide debate over how and when to replace her. But for this episode, we wanted to spend some time talking about just how irreplaceable she was. Because, you see, r. B. G. Wasnt justt another Supreme Court justice, she was an american icon. Even though she served on the spk that does most of its work behind closed doors, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, through her intellect and force of personality and determination, somehow became a pop culture favorite. She would cross generations earning the nickname the notorious r. B. G. There were books, clothing, tattoos, even a species of praying mantis in her honor. Every time she wrote a dissent, the internet would explode. He said dont you feel uncomfortable having the name of the notorious b. I. G. . I said we have a lot in common. Trevor theyre both from brooklyn, both into fancy neckware and both got tired of diddy trying to steal their spotlight, not to mention we all remember r. B. G. s Campaign Finance opinion in citizens united, more money, more problems. R. B. G. Gained more fame than any Supreme Court justice before her, and deservedly so because even from the beginning of her life, she didnt let societal expectations about women hold her back. Ruth Bader Ginsburg grew up in brooklyn in a lower middle class family. When she was in high school, she was a twirler, a cheer leader with a baton. She earned a scholarship to cornell where she met a jovial sophomore who became the love of her life. He was the first boy who cared i had a brain. The year he enrolled in harvard, ruth followed, one of only nine women in a class of 150 with a baby girl in tow. Marty had cancer and she took notes for him and made him able to graduate on time, raising a baby and being a law student herself. She graduated first in her class. Tied for first. But didnt get a single offer from a new york law firm. I had three strikes against me. One, i was jewish, two, a woman, and the killer was i was a mother of a 4yearold child. Trevor damn, she was a brilliant student at the top of her class but couldnt get a single job . Its like she was a reverse jared kushner. To turn down a brilliant lawyer just because shes a mom, what did those guys think was going to happen . We cant hire her, shes going to force us to finish our asparagus. But those law firms that didnt hire r. B. G. Lived to regret it because she ended up being such an incredible lawyer that she started making history in the Supreme Court long before she got on the Supreme Court. Ruth became a law professor at rutgers working towards womens rights. In the 1970s, she founded the aclus womens rights project. She wanted to build the idea of womens equality step by step, to use each case to move things forward. Between 1973 and 1978, ginsburg argued six gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Courts allmale bench. Case after case, she slowly broke down barriers of gender discrimination that, when you look at them today, you almost laugh at them. We couldnt have our own credit cards, we couldnt get a mortgage without a man signing, we couldnt buy a car. There were hundreds, maybe even thousands of state, local and federal laws that, by law, barred women from jobs, even from jury service. Trevor thats right, people. Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg came along, there were laws preventing women from getting a mortgage, serving on a jury or even getting their own credit cards, which is mind boggling. To think this country, this country ever let misogyny get in the way of something as american as getting people into debt i mean, women couldnt even serve on a jury. Thats why the movie was called 12 angry men, and not six angry men and women who had enough of their cam plaining. So after a career that changed the lives of every woman in america, r. B. G. Was nominated to the Supreme Court by president clinton in 1993 an used the seat to advocate for the equality of all people whether her federal justices agreed with her or not. As a justice, ginsburg consistently voted in favor of Abortion Access and civil rights. Perhaps her best known work writing the 1996 landmark decision to strike down the Virginia Military institutes ban on admitting women. Ginsburgs opinions helped solidify constitutional protections she fought hard to establish decades earlier. But later as the court moved to the right ginsburg wrote a learnty dissent. Huh brings is a fit word for todays demolition of the Voting Rights act. In a landmark case on employment discrimination in 2007, ginsburg wrote a powerful dissent at prompted congress to amend the laws. Trevor thats how you know r. B. G. Was the goat. Even when she was in the minority, they used her dissent to change the law. You understand how epic that is . Thats like writing a review so scathing and eloquent they let you choose whats on the next days menu. She won even when she lost. Who else can say that . Well, besides me, who broke into general olivers apartment last night and stole his emmy ha ha we should actually cut that from the show. I dont want him to know. The thing i find most impressive about r. B. G. Is not just what she accomplished with her work but how dedicated she was to doing it, even when it would have been easier to call it quits. This woman was determined to do the job that she loved. She loved being a Supreme Court justice, she loved the law. Shes famously a workaholic. How much sleep do you get . I can get by on not more than four hours. Her grant helped keep her on the bench through colon cancer, pancreatic cancer and the death of her beloved partner. Justice ginsburg even though her husband died of cancer yesterday was on the bench. She used to schedule her chemotherapy sessions fridays so she would have the weekend to recover and during that time she did not miss a single day on the bench. Instead of concentrating on my aches and pains, i concentrate on the courts work. Trevor okay, people, that is just aweinspiring. Throughout multiple battles of cancer, she never stopped working. One time i missed work for two weeks because my leg fell asleep on the toilet. I had no choice, i couldnt get up. All i could do is scroll instagram and hope somebody found me. Ever try that shit, when youre texting and the legs go and you cant stand because your leg can break . Thats a thing i read, if you stand on the leg so, look, i know with r. B. G. s passing, a lot of people feel hopeless, defeated and like everything is lost, but if theres one thing that r. B. G. s life shows us, its that change isnt easy, but if you put in the time, the effort and the dedication, you can see results. She never gave up and she never stopped fighting. If anyone lived the biggie line, stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart is in it and really live the phrase skys the limit, it was ruth and thats why they called her the notorious r. B. G. That and she might have killed tupac. We have to take a break. When we come back, ill speak to americas most trusted epidemiologist dr. Anthony hey, tracee, you cant say no to a classic. Oh. I cant hear you over ths flamin hot crunch. Girl, you know, wavy chips are way better for dippin. Crispy, airy, tasty poppables. Hmm hmm. I thought we talked about talking to the chips. I cant help it. I love me some lays. All right, im taking the these. Lays. A little joy with every bag. Ive got some lays potato chips. Youre not using too much are you hon . A little joy with every bag. Nope. Charmin ultra soft is so soft youll have to remind your family they can use less. Charmin ultra soft is twice as absorbent so you can use less. Dont worry, theres plenty left for you, dad. We all go, why not enjoy the go with charmin. And now were welcoming taco bell to the family. For a limited time, spend 15 or more and get 50 off a Ruth Bader Ginsburg<\/a>. Aka the notorious r. B. G. As im sure you know, the Iconic Supreme Court<\/a> justice died over the weekend at the age of 87. A little bit later on in the show, we will talk about her life and legacy.

Trevor welcome back tothe g show. Earlier today, i spoke with a man you all know, dr. Anthony fauci, director of the National Institutes<\/a> of allergy any and Infectious Diseases<\/a> and americas leading Infectious Disease<\/a> experts. We spoke about the state of the pandemic the hopes for a vaccine and so much more. Dr. Futurey, welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Thank you. Very nice to be with you. Thank you for having me. Trevor before i ask you about us, im going to try as we do in african culture and ask you about you. I know that you had surgery on your vocal chords, something im very sensitive to because i, too, had polyps and had to get them surgically removed. How are you and your voice . Im actually fine, trevor. Thank you for asking. I should have had this done literally months ago. I had kind of strained my voice. I had actually an upper respiratory infection and had a little tracheitis. Usually you rest and it goes away, but things exploded with covid 19. I was 17, 18 hours a day talking to the point where i just strained and strained and strained it. I realized my voice was gravelly and i couldt not get it back to normal. The surgery was successful, they removed a benign polyp and now this is my regular voice. Instead of sounding like Vito Coreleone<\/a> from the godfather, i sound like Anthony Fauci<\/a> from the nature. Trevor i know how horrible the surgery can be, so im glad you have your voice back. There are few people who need their voices more than you especially considering whats going on now not just in america but around the the world. I spoke with you six months ago, the country saw you every day. We had a routine. We wake up, saw dr. Fauci, he gives us an update, then you disappeared. Now i have to rely on facebook to know how to or not to fight the virus or to fight the virus. Where have you been . Theres been a change in the intensity in which the White House Coronavirus<\/a> task force has been involved. It used to be on a daily basis when we were talking about the Public Health<\/a> issues. Then there was a switch, a pivoting that was focusing mostly on opening the economy and the country, which is a good thing. So were not meeting as frequently. And you remember, we used to have, like, a press conference every single day. Trevor oh, i remember, yes. And they decided they were going to pull back and have mostly theup give the press conference. And then, you know, we are sometimes on the media, sometimes not. Its kind of erratic, like on the Classic Media<\/a> you might see me a couple of days in a row and then im off for a while, and its just a question of whether they have a message that they want out and if its the message that they want outta particular day, then you might go out. If not, you dont go out. And thats the reason why i value the opportunity to speak with you and top others because i think we can get the Public Health<\/a> measure that i really feel is very important for the health of the American Public<\/a> to be able to say it in a way thats received by the people who really would benefit from it. Trevor im not going to lie to you, right now it feels like everyone is making this up as they go along because it doesnt feel like the public has a solid source from which to deal with, you know. You will hear one thing from the c. D. C. , then another thing from the c. D. C. We dont know when it gets updated. Then the director of the c. D. C. Says something, then the president correspondent tickets him. Then we hear this is happening with masks or not mask, with vaccines or not vaccines. Is there a reason there isnt a centralized source of information like in many other countries around the world . Well, you know, trevor, thats a difficult question to give a satisfactory explanation for because, as a matter of fact, there has been switches in how the messages have gone out and, youre right, i you know, from a research and Public Health<\/a> standpoint, i try my best, and i think im successful, in giving a consistent message as often as i can get the message out, something that is just based on the scientific data, based on evidence, which is something that is really very important. One of the things that i think gets in the way is that we are in such a divisive state in society that it tends to get politicized. Its almost a one side versus the other, and the thing i keep saying and i will say it very briefly now because i think its important is everybody feels we need to open the economy to get people back to work, to get people back to school. But the Public Health<\/a> messages that weve given and that youve heard me give back months ago when we used to have the press conferences from the white hous trevor right. Is that Public Health<\/a> measures should be more of a gateway and a pathway to opening the country as opposed to the obstacle to opening the country. So what has evolved now is that almost people take sides, like wearing a mask or not is a political statement, and thats really very unfortunate, totally unfortunate, because this is a purely Public Health<\/a> issue. It should not be one against the other, and i think the confused messages that youre alluding to correctly and appropriately is that you dont have a single message when messages sort of get thrown into political buckets, and thats something i really wish that conversations like you and i are having would dispel that and put that aside and say, for goodness sakes, ive never had political ideology ive made public. When i say wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands do, things outdoors more than indoors, theres nothing political about that. Thats a Public Health<\/a> message we know works because every time groups of people have done that in situations where youve had a surge of infections, the surge has come around and come down. So we have within our capable the about to turn this around. Trevor if you were to rate americas response to the coronavirus on a scale of one to ten as an epidemiologist, where do you rate it . Its very interesting because if you look at the numbers, trevor, the numbers are telling, we have in this country now, you know, close to 200,000 deaths. We have 6 millionplus infections. You cant look at that and say thats terrific, you know, but if you look at the country, there are parts to have the country that have done well, that are doing well. Right now, what im liking, what im seeing is that some of the numbers are coming down. What im concerned about is that our baseline is still very, very high, trevor. Its like it never got below 20,000 new cases a day. When we tried to open up the economy, as it it were, some states jumped ahead of the guidelines, some people tinted listen to what the governors and mayors were saying and we went well up to 70,000 and now are coming back down to 30,000 or 40,000. The thing im concerned about is that, as you go into the fall and winter and more things will have to be done indoors rather than outdoors, you want to start off with the lowest possible baseline that you could have. So in the next several weeks, what i would love to see is the country pulling together as a whole to try and get that baseline down so that, when we go into the winter and the fall and we, perhaps, get hit with a flu season, i hope that people will get their flu vaccines, that were not struggling at a disadvantage because you have a disadvantage when this Community Spread<\/a> and you have 40,000 new infections each day, that is not a good place to be. Trevor let me ask you two questions to that. Number one, how do you respond to the people who say, well, the infection rates shoulden matter, its only the death rates that should matter and, even then, the death rates are being inflated and some people are saying people have died from corona when, in fact, people are dying with corona, and they just have corona and theyre dying but its not corona that causes their death. I think the 200,000 deaths youre talk about, trevor, are a good reflection of people that likely would not have died if they didnt have this infection. The thing that i think we need to be careful and humble about in that we dont know everything about this infection, but were starting to see a u couple of things now that are troubling to me and that is, first of all, more and more young people, when you see when you look at it, are getting into some significant trouble. Not a lot, not a high percentage, thats true. The other thing is, when people get infected, were seeing more and more of lingering signs and symptoms so that when you clear the virus, you may have weeks or months or so in which you just are not quite right, and the final thing is that theyve recently done a study that was published in the journal of the American Medical Association<\/a> of cardiology where people who recovered even from disease that wasnt that severe, when you do mris or imaging, sensitive imaging, you can see things like inflammation of the heart. Now, they may not be symptomatic, but we want to make sure that six months or a year from now they dont wind up with unexplained arrhythmias or premature heart attacks or cardiomyopathies. So the situation is not wrapped up about what is the full impact of this, which means we have to take it very seriously, even among people who are obviously in trouble and die. Theres other people that we need to be concerned about. Trevor all right, we have to take a quick break but dont go away because when we come back dr. Fauci will tell you when and where you need to wear a mask. So stick around. Welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Earlier today i spoke with dr. Anthony fauci. Heres the second half of our interview. Many people say that they will only take a vaccine once dr. Fauci says the vaccine is safe. My question to you is if everyones asking dr. Fauci, who does dr. Fauci ask . When you do you think a vaccine is safe . I look at the data, trevor. In fact, the data and safety monitoring board, which is an independent group that monitors the trials, they look at the data, they analyze it with independently statisticians and they will say this is effective, and then you look at the number of people that have been on the trial for a period of additional 30 to 60 days, and if you dont see any obvious serious adverse events, then i would consider that effective and safe and i would taket it myself. Trevor you dont think we should wear masks when were indoors in a closed environment but theres seem to be confusion. So ill shoot a few rapid fire ones that ive written down and you tell me yes or no should we be wearing a mask. If im riding a bike on the street . Not necessarily, no. But you should have it with you in case you come into close contact with people on the outside. But if youre alone and nobody is near you and youre riding the bike you dont need to wear the mask. Trevor what about if im eating in a a restaurant when they are open should i put it on between the courses . Yeah, i think because theres enough movement and people usually within six feet that you probably should. I put it around my neck and then i could eat, drink and put it back up when youre waiting for the waiter or something to occur. Trevor people have said that theres coronavirus on your neck, show should i put it on my neck . Can i get coronavirus on from my neck when the mask comes back to my mouth . Good question. Flip it up or down. Dont put your hand on the outside of it. Trevor in an empty elevator do, i put my mask on . The answer is when the door opens, someone might walk in and you will have no idea whos going to walk in so you might want to keep it on. By the way, let me show you. This is what i do. You have it on, go like this, bingo, youre okay. Then go like this, bingo, its up. Trevor what if youre talking to somebody and they dont understand you . Do you put it down to Say Something<\/a> or do you practice saying it louder . Noics you say it again and repeat it. Thats a really good point because then when you put down you tend to speak louder with more force and thats when all the particles, if theyre there, if youre infected, would come out. I would leave the mask on. Trevor my final one, if you are in a movie theater, some people are going to movies around the country and youre watching the new provey tenet and theres only two people in the cinema, do you put the mask on or keep it off . If theyre so physically distanced you could probably keep it off, but, remember, you have to be careful, because, in the theater, if theres not good ventilation, there could be aerosol in that. Myself, what i would do, i would probably keep it on just to be safe because im indoors, thats reason, because im indoors. Trevor dr. Futurey, dr. I hope we see you again soon. I hope its not six months. Do your vocal warmups, it helps me before i talk for a long time. Last thing, would you consider getting woulgetting a celebritye numbers to text everybody personally . Celebrities text and say, hey, my concert is coming up. You could do that and tell us, hey, guys, heres the new update for corona. Consider it, dr. Futurey. I will do that. Trevor thanks for joining us. You, too, stay safe. Take care. Trevor thank you so much for your time, dr. Fauci. Well take a quick break. But well be right back after but before we go, last week we introduced th pandemmys, the award show for the most notable achievements of the coronavirus pandemic. And since then, you guys cast more than one million votes. Now, obviously, President Trump<\/a> is trying to have half of those thrown out. So, before he can, here are some of the big winners.
