1:16 am
of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions for the withdrawal and expecting a different result. i'm now the fourth united states president to preside over american troop presence in afghanistan. i will not pass this responsibilities on to a fifth. >> trevor: i will not pass this responsibility to the next president. wow. what a nice gift joe biden is giving to dwayne the rock johnson when he becomeses president. although to be honest, i was secretary reitly-- secretly hoping that the rock would get to end the war in afghanistan because he would have done it in style. but yet the war in afghanistan may finally be over. and people, it's about time. it's been what, 19 years? no war should ever be old enough to serve in itself. i will say though i find it a little weird that biden is
1:17 am
withdraw-- withdrawing on 9/11, first of all breaking up on your anniversary, that is just mean. and second, should he be basing huge decisions like this on the date that just sounds the best. we can't let this forever war continue one more moment. but let's wait a few more months for some nice sim tree, it's numbers, i believe in numbers. of course all of this is assuming that america actually does leave. because don't forget america has been trying to get out of afghanistan for what, 10 years now, obama said it, trump said it. hell, this guy said it. >> we are leaving in 2014. period. >> >> trevor: to be fair, biden didn't know what year it was when he said that. now obviously not everyone is celebrating this decision. biden is getting criticism from people who say if america leaves afghanistan than it will become a failed state. and that is a real danger. but on the other hand, america has been there for 20 years, is it supposed to stay there forever because if that is going to be the case then america should at least make afghanistan
1:18 am
a u.s. state. and the good news with that is, it would eliminate afghanistan terrorism problem completely because we all know that once terrorists are american, they are not terrorists any more. they are just frustrated citizens who are having a bad day. moving on to sports news. the minnesota timberwolves are the best team in the nba. named after puppy dogs. and now they're getting to know their new owner. >> former mlb star alex rodriguez is reportedly part of a new ownership prowp for the minnesota timberwolves. here is what the team's 19 year old rookie of the year candidate anthony edwards said about a-rod's ownership bid when asked about it by reporters yesterday, watch. >> do you have any thoughts about him, are you an r-rod fan growing up or anything like that, what do you think about what he might bring to the team. >> a fan. who is he? >> a baseball player. >> alex rodriguez. >> i don't know who that is. >> okay. >> i know he is tbg to be an owner but i don't know nothing
1:19 am
about baseball. >> he took the opportunity to introduce himself on instagram writing hi, anthony, i'm alex. >> trevor: this is embarrassing. but let's give the guy a break. he's 19. you know, there are some things that 19 year olds just don't know about like either of these things could be a-rod. they don't know. you can't assume that teenagers are going to know every middle-aged famous person except matt gaetz because his photo is posted at the security desk in everyone's dorm. and to be honest, it could have been worse for this kid. at least a-rod wasn't actually there. god knows i have been in situation where i was talking to a famous person and i didn't know who they were. >> thank you so much for joining me, mr.-- buddy. >> i'm very happy to be here with you, trevor. >> trevor: i have to say, i am a big fan of your music. yeah. i found out afterwards, that guy
1:20 am
is on a podcast. and finally, some good news for all full time parents looking to get back into the nonchild care job market. you can now update your resume. >> linkin is making changes to catch up with popular demand. mothers and fathers have stopped working to become caregivers will now have a way to reflect that on their linkin accounts, the company added titles like stay-at-home mom or stay at home dad and we move the need to link that title to a company or employer. >> trevor: thank you. if you are, this is long overdue. stay-at-home moms and dads should also have the opportunity to have linkin do nothing for them. seriously though, stay at home parents de serve this recognition because before if you were home raising your kids, your resume just looked like you were unemployed for like a chunk of years but parenting is a job. one of the hottest jobs, actually. also the only job where you if your boss pees on you you can't sue them. i will says, as good as this is,
1:21 am
employers still have to be careful and make sure they get all the details. because a candidate who is a stay-at-home mom to young kids, that could be a great employee. but a candidate who is a stay-at-home mom to 17 cats, that is a red flag. not to mention, this could be bad news for some kids. because now their moms could get hired away to be another kid's mom. mommyk don't go. i love you. >> oh, i love you too, honey. but susie is giving me dental so i'm out. >> but let's move on to our main story. which is once again the police. the group that n-wa didn't want to marry or kivment for three days the people of minnesota and the entire country have been mourning and protesting over the death of daunte wright. and today the police officer who pulled the trigger was put on notice. >> another night of unrest in brooklyn center, minnesota. some demonstrators used a line of umbrellas to shield themselves as police fired off
1:22 am
flash bangs. >> the protests coming hours before an expected announcement today on possible charges for wright's death. >> the officer who shot him has been arrested. agents with the minnesota burrow of criminal apprehension say they have taken former brooklyn center police officer kim potter into custody. potter was booked on second degree manslaughter charges in the death of daunte wright. >> trevor: yes. the officer who killed dauntede wright was charged with second degree manslaughter yesterday. and look, i think it is good she is being charged. but let's be honest. that doesn't mean much on its own. charging a police officer is like announcing that you are withdrawing from afghanistan. i'm not going to hold my breathe for results. now i done think there is any one change that we can make to police procedure or equipment or funding that would fix the entire problem of how cops treat black people. but the mayor of brooklyn center where the killing of daunte write took place make one
1:23 am
interesting point that i found very revealing. >> as of this moment, i don't believe any one of our officers livers in brooklyn center. that is something that we are aware of. we do feel very strongly that we need officers to be from the community, obviously not every officer can live in the city where they work. i don't think that that would be feasible. or practical. but there is a a huge importance to having a significant number of your officers living in the community where they serve. >> trevor: yeah, the mayor is completely right. and that is a startling thing to hear, not a single one of police officers actually live in the
1:24 am
city that they police. which is a huge problem. when a cop is taking you downtown he shouldn't have to ask you how to get downtown. and it matters when are you not policing your own community, when are you an outsider because then are you being sent to enforce. you are an occupying forgs because it is human nature to treat people differently when you are not from there. when you go to your neighbor's house, you are respectful. you are curtious, when you go to a hotel room in a different city, i mean that's when things get covered in semen for no good reason. plus it's harder to brutalize people when you live in the same community. you are less likely to body slam someone to the ground when your mom might be in the same book club. if you want to see how different groups are policed in america. you don't have to look any further than the capitol riots where we're still finding out just how much leeway a vy lent mob of white conservatives was given. >> we're learning more about the advanced warning capitol police received leading up to the january 6th insurrection. according to a new inspector general's report reviewed by
1:25 am
"the new york times" police were warned three days before the violent attack including a potential for violent which quote congress itself is the target. the report found that officers were instructed by their leaders not to use their most aggressive tactic to hold off the mob, that would include things like stun grenades. >> think about that. >> they knew that a violent group was coming after congress itself, congress. the place where america's most important laws are filibustered. but they still told the police not to get too aggressive. now this report didn't exactly explain why this order was given. but if you ask me, this is what happens when police see you as people. they give you the benefit. bought. and that's really what the truth is. america is a country where white people who are coming to storm the capitol are given the benefit of the doubt. but black people just going about their livers are treated like they are about to storm the capitol. and look, i'm not saying that
1:26 am
the cops should be max mallly aggressive with citizens but there has to be a happy medium between he's driving while black, shoot him. and they're storming the government, well, let's see where in goes, i want to see how it turns out, see what they are doing. if there ever was a time and place to be aggressive, i feel like january 6th would have been it. i mean congress was certifying the election. they were actually doing something. do you know how rare that is? it's like panda's mating. thrnt can'tk any disturbanced or they will get spooked and it won't happen again for years. and look, i know it is exhausting to have to keep dealing with this shit over and over and over again. and i'm sure there are people who are like why even bother protest, derek chauvin's trial is on right now and they're still shooting black people. but marching in the streets and challenging the system actually does make a difference. just look at the story about a police incident from 15 years ago that is finally getting a rewrite. >> former buffalo police officer
1:27 am
cariol horne is celebrating a major legal vuct ree this morning. judge dennis ward humanned she is owed a full penning. she was fired after she intervened to stop another officer from using excessive force during an arrest in 2006. judge ward also warn ruled horne is owed two years of back hey, he wrote while the eric garners and grnlg floyd never had a chance for a do over, at least here the correction can be done. >> trevor: yeah, that's right. this former buffalo police officer literally fought a fellow cop to stop him from putting a handcuffed suspect in a chokehold. which must have been really confusing for the guy being arrested. he must have thought this was the most elaborate good cop bad cop routine ever. but then officer horne was fired for doing that. which actually tells you a lot. because people always say police aren't a problem, it is just a few bad apples. you about in one of the rare incidents where there was a good apple who tried to step up, what
1:28 am
happens. the system turned against herk and protected the bad apple. the only good news is that now thanks to a law passed in buffalo last year, she is getting her pengs back, she's getting her all salary back and she's finally getting the recognition that she deserves. and remember, that law was only part because of the pressure of the black lives matter movement. and yes, maybe a small step but every step that holds the police more accountable to the community that they're supposed to protect, i think that's a step worth marching for. all right, when we come back, i will be talking to elizabeth nyamayaro, former advisor about gender equality and issa rae is still joining us on the show so still joining us on the show so don't go away. plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching. the pain.
1:29 am

1:32 am
daily social disdistancing show, my first guest is elizabeth nyamayaro. a former united nations senior advisor and founder of the he for she move am. she is here to talk about her upcoming memoir about her journey as a girl from africa whose near death experience inspired her to become a humanitarian. so elizabeth nyamayaro. welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> i'm so happy to be here, trevor. thank you so much for having me. >> trevor: thank you for being here. you have lived quite the life. and now you have written a memoir about it. you know, many kids dream of becoming astronauts or firefighters or doctors. you have an interesting dream, your dream growing up was to work at the united nations. that means you either had a really ebb lightened childhood or you were one of the most boring children around. which one was it? >> i don't know. but i think a lot has to do with where i come from. you know, where we come from. we come from a continent that is
1:33 am
very much about the community. so i grew up in a small african village in zimbabwe where i was raised by my grandmother. and i had a beautiful childhood. and in africa we grew up as part of the community. and we took care of each other. we shared our food together. we wanted for nothing in my village. but then when i was eight years old, a severe drought hit our village and literally devastated us. our rivers dried up. our crops wilted. our livestock perished-- parished and we were left with nothing to eat and nothing to drink. and one day i was just so weak from hunger, trevor, i collapsed on the ground. and in my young mind i thought i was going to die. i had not eaten for three days. but then a miracle happened. this aide worker with the united nations found me, the girl in the plu uniform, that she was wearing and gave me a bottle of
1:34 am
por ij and literally saved my life. i remember after i was able to sit, i asked her why she was there because she was african mike like mean but hi never seen her before, she was not from my village. but she said i am here because as africans we must yup lift each other. again, i was eight years old. didn't make a lot of sense to me at the time am but two years later i fund out that this girl in the blue uniform worked for the united nations. and it just became my dream. i thought i want to be just like her so that maybe one day can i safe the life of others in a similar way that my life had been saved. so that was the impetus. and of course decades later i joined the u.n. and i became the girl in the blue uniform. >> trevor: your memoir talks through this journey and takes us through a journey that you have lived. the title of your book is "i am a girl f from africa." and what is great about it, is it touches on so many girls and women's lives fromafter-- africa, in africa,
1:35 am
and really across the world. when we look at your story, there is one thing that i notice consist eptdly through throughout the book, that is the theme of abunchu, some people might think about it as an operating system but from where we are from it has a different meeting, tell us why it was so important to you as a theme you carry through your book and your life. >> yes, so it is this ancient african philosophy that is very powerful. it literally means i am because we are. and to recognizes that we are all connected, by humanitarian. my first understanding of the word actually was to my gogo, because like you i loved your book by the way, and your gogo was let's rally my gog. she taught me about this when i was six years old, which just comes from a very, very long liberation struggle, trying to liberate our country, zimbabwe from british colonial rule.
1:36 am
and we had a difficult choice because the country was a lot more divided, because colonialism as you said in your book, trevor, has pitted us against each other as africans. >> trevor: right. >> so we were much more divided. and we had to find a way to heal as a country. and we walked this, as a way to and again what in my book, ten years later, you did a similar thing in south african when nelson mandela became the president, you abuntu is this powerful tool that enables us to really see the humanitarian in each other. to practice compassion towards one another, and it is also how our-- it is this belief that your part of a community, and if are you part of a community, are you also part of uplifting that community. so that is what inspired the book. it is really, i'm literally the embodiment of what st. but i am because we are. >> trevor: you seem to have
1:37 am
taken that theme to heart when you were part of founding the he for she campaign which bas lauded for what it stood for and what it continues to stand for. but really came to prom thens when people started hearing and started going viral online. pem said wow, what is this. i think it was emma watson who gave it a shout out on her platforms online. people were like what is the he for she campaign. an interesting idea, because often times when people talk about women safety, oftentimes the burden is put on women, people go oh, why did you dress like that ladies, or should you have been out at that time. these rape stories, i feel bad for you but what responsibility do you bear. you came out with a completely different idea. he for she. can you explain about that and why you thought this approach could help. >> so before i get into that, the moment for he for she, was that trevor noah was part of an
1:38 am
event, than it ban really, really cool, you know, it was like, and become like really, really cool when trevor noah support it. so thank you for doing that, trevor. >> trevor: my pleasure. >> it was really inspired by this african philosophy of ibuntu because i realized there was such a disease in terms of how we look at gender inequality. it was for women lead by women. and men were almost kind of not engaged as much as they could because but then they should. because at the imed of the day as you rightly said, the men should be the ones not abusing women. we come it st a responsible on women to say don't abuse me, so i saw an opportunity to bring men as part of the conversation and as part of the solution so that we as a collective for shared humanitarian can work together to end this really, really devastating issue. >> trevor: you always are looking to give back, are you always looking to contribute. you are trying to find ways to
1:39 am
get involved. i have talked tho, and i know you have as well, i always tell people, governments are the only ones that can fix it. philanthropy is a drop in the bucket that can help in the right direction but really you need the scale of government to fix a lot of this systemic and endemic issues that we face. you have a wonderful initiative that you are a part of with this book. tell me about it, when people are buying your book, they are also going to be contributing two books going to children in africa. >> yes, so my book i'm a girl from africa is out next week on tuesday, april 209 stand part of the preorder campaign, we are joining, for each three order, a book to a girl in africa. this was important to me. the book is called is i am a girl from africa, not the girl, because i know that my story is one of millions. and i wanted to make sure that girls who come from a-- such as mine are able to read this story. this. for them to see what is possible for them.
1:40 am
so this is what the campaign is about so i hope that people can support it and so we can all people we are young girls in africa, but also around the world to see what is possible when we dare to dream big and we dare to make a difference in our world. >> i think you have done that. and i'm sure that once people start reading the book they will become even more inspired. thank you for joining me on the daily social distancing show and good luck. >> thank you so much for having me. >> trevor: don't forget elizabeth's book, i am a girl from africa, comeses out april 209 and available for preorder right now. when we come back the brilliant issa rae will be joining me on the show. the show. so you don't want to miss i hope this doesn't take too long, i'm double parked. next. oh, it's an arm one?! your cousin. from boston. ♪ we're back baby! sam's on me! indoor beers! indoor beers!

daily social distancing show. my guest tonight is an actor, a writer and a producer of all your favorite things, issa rae. she's here to that the about mer amazing career thus far and an exciting new partnership that she's kicking off. issa rae, welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> hey, trevor noah thank you for having me. >> yes, having you very distant am although i feel like you have
1:45 am
been somebody who i feel like are you always in my life. you know, look there are some people who make the kinds of shows that make you feel like you know them as a person, like i would probably be one of your creepy fans who coming up to you in the street and thinks i know you more than i do. i am sure you have people like that. because you make those kinds of shows where whenever i watch issa rae i go i know her, she's my best friend but she-- you go i am really keepy--s does that happen to you, people who feel like they know you. >> what a high compliment. yes, people do i take it as a compliment until they start insulting me and my character or my little's character. but you know, i welcome it. >> trevor: what do you think that is? i have always wondered how you do that. because like everyone can make a show. but when issa rae makes a show, there is a connectivity to it that connects, even if you give a speech at an award show, there is a familiarity that you have that connects people to you.
1:46 am
have you ever wondered what that is? >> i haven't. i don't look a gift horse in the mouth. tand is something that i realized that until people may bring it up but i think for me it comes down to relate ability. i do thrive until i find the commonality and brace on me when they go through things. >> trevor: i think what makes insecure such a fantastic show and hopefully a show that will change shows forever is you created a show in which black women specifically can occupy all spaces and places within society, you know, there is no archetype of what the black woman is supposed to be. a lawyer, you can be the broke ass friend, you can be the person whose focused, not focused, you know. there is something powerful in that. and i have always wanted to know whether you set out to create that or whether you were just replicating your world as you saw it. >> it is definitely the latter. it was, what was the frustration
1:47 am
about not being on trvetion for so long because i was surrounded by these women who occupied so many different spaces. and seeing that on television it was just like this is my life thrk is their life, my mom's friends life, what is the problem, where is the disconnect now, of course we had that during the earlier decades but you know, where are we? where are these women that i know so well. so i wanted to intentionally reflect that world. >> trevor: the show has been extremely successful. and then you dropped a bombshell and tell us that incure is now coming to an end. the question is why. >> because it's a story. and the stories end. and you know, in pitching it, i knew i wanted to end it, we talked about that, yeah, that is
1:48 am
right. and so we have been moving towards this journey to finish telling the story. i love watching television that kind of has a story like there is nothing like a me anderring story. and so for me, i hope that people leave feeling satisfied like i'm glad i watched that. i'm glad i watched that story. >> trevor: i think everyone will have that feeling. what is cool is if you are annisa rae fan, from what i read in the magazines, there is not going to be a shortage of issa rae in the world. like you are doing mogul things, like making money move, then you know, things are happening. >> it is a bang. >> trevor: are you get in the bag, mawkk the money move. congratulations, first of all. because you are just making things, you signed a giant deal. you will be creating everything across-the-board. firstly where do you find the time, secondly, what are you now looking to do that you vbt
1:49 am
already done? ness so much. i mean i'm, i have the time because i work win credible people. and so like you know, there are different companies and you have incredible base and work very hard. and for me next, i want to go behind the sceneses. i love exploring the different parts of the industry, i love producing the work of people, who i am a fan of. i have not made a film yet. that is my personal next goal. and yeah, so many things i want to, and i don't want to just do anything to do it. i want to do things-- . >> trevor: talk me through your partnership with life water, this is really interesting. i saw money. i saw opportunity, and i saw issa rae and i am like okay, i want to know what this is all about. what is happening.
1:50 am
>> so i have always, in the spirit of collaboration, wanted to find other people to work with. and you know, in this industry people talk about diversity, representation, where do you find these people. so i worked trying to create the pipeline, basically we have partnered with-- to find people, ardsts and createddives who need that opportunity to have their work be seen. >> trevor: woi. >> it is a creative-- created 20 bhot els was the work of these various art irses, hand selected and we're doing a contest to find five more, and have a $150,000 to have their work commissioned-- $10,000. >> i wonder if part of the reason you did this is because in many ways your career was also started by the people. i mean you know, your original shows with this awkward black girl and here you had people on a kick starter saying we're going to make think thing
1:51 am
happen. without that you might not be here today or maybe the journey would have taken much longer. >> without a doubt. i know what it is like to northbound those early stages and be like-- if someone just sees my work, just that one person. you can have a platform, then that creates changes the game, or not but you can see this and be like this is great or this sucks, don't ever try again. so we are hopefully providing a platform for those artists and looking out for them in a way that the industry isn't necessarily doing. specifically by having life water commission a study, where there is lack of a representation in these areas, visual art, fashion, music, and film making. >> trevor: okay, issa rae, thank you so much for joining me, i appreciate you. >> thank you, trevor. >> trevor: stay tuned for a first look at life water's new first look at life water's new launch video, life uns we are the unseen creators

manbearpig ? it is a creature which roams the earth alone. it is half man, half bear and half pig. some people say that manbearpig isn't real. well, i'm here to tell you now, manbearpig is very real and he most certainly exists. i'm cereal. manbearpig doesn't care who you are, or what you've done, manbearpig simply wants to get you. i'm super-cereal. but have no fear, because i am here to save you. and someday, when the world is rid of manbearpig, everyone will say, "thank you al gore, you're super-awesome." the end. uh, okay, thank you, mr. gore... thank you, class. excelsior !
