Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.

You're rolling. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. I'm Trevor Noah.

Today is Tuesday, the 17th of November, which means there's only 64 days left until Donald Trump and Mike Pence can stop pretending their friends. Anyway, coming up on tonight's show, Why This Thanksgiving Could Be Your Lost, how Trump might still win this election, and Kevin Hart joins me on the show for one of the most fun interviews I've ever had. So let's do this, people. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. From Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world.

This is the Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah. Look, there's no denying there's a lot of heavy stuff in the news right now. But before we get to all of that, let's kick it off with a fun crime story that's genuinely out of this world. And now that I hear that it probably sounded like it has something to do with outer space, which it doesn't. No, it's not out of this world. It's still pretty cool though. A wild chase worthy of the big screen. The suspect in a multi-million dollar Ponzi tried to escape the feds under the water of Lake Shasta. The US US US US US US US US US US US US. the US. the US. the US. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, toe, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the the th. the th. tod. today, today, today, today, today, today, today, to to to to to to to to to to to Lake Shasta, the U.S. Attorney's Office says Matthew Piercy took off in his truck when the FBI showed up at his home and eventually jumped on a sea scooter, a device that propels up to 100 feet underwater. All agents eventually spotted his bubbles and waited him out. When he finally emerged, they cuffed him. Man, there is so much that I love about this story. First of all, I love how the guy had the sea scooter ready. Like. th, th, th, the th, the th, th, the th, th, the th, th, the th, the the the th, the th, the the thi, the the the the the the the the the the the, the the, the, the sea, the, the the the th.

First of all, I love how the guy had the sea scooter ready, like he knew he was going to have to outrun the feds at some point.

Because that's going to be really hard to explain to the judge. I'm not guilty, your honor. Although, yes, I did try to escape in a lake? My man, a lake doesn't go anywhere. It's like if OJ took the white Bronco around a NASCAR track, you're not escaping, you're just wasting everyone's time. I'm also disappointed that the cops just waited him out. Like, what's the point of even having an Aquaman if we're not going to use him. But let's move on to the only story of the world,

the raging coronavirus pandemic. This morning, alarming COVID numbers all across the country. One million Americans diagnosed with COVID-19 just this week. That's about 100 Americans diagnosed every minute. In Philadelphia, where cases are rising, the city starting sweeping restrictions Friday, closing indoor dining, gyms, and putting an in to use sports through the end of the year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year the year the year the city starting sweeping restrictions Friday, closing indoor dining, gyms, and putting an end to use sports through the end of the year.

California also seeing a surge starting Tuesday, 94% of the state will fall under its strictest tier of restrictions. In Michigan, rapid spread, almost 13,000 new COVID-19 cases in one day. In Utah, ICUs are nearing capacity. Frontline workers from New York once the epicenter of the virus are now heading there to help. In Iowa, the strain on state hospitals led Governor Kim Reynolds to announce a new mask mandate in nearly all indoor spaces and a ban on indoor gatherings of more than 15 people after months of resisting calls

to do so. If Iowans don't buy into this, we lose. You know guys, it's amazing to me that we are eight months into this pandemic and we're somehow getting worse at dealing with it. It makes no sense. Imagine if I started learning French and on day one I was like, I can't talk French, talk a tel Franc. And then eight months later after practicing, I was like, uh, me no French, don't speak French?

And I think it's a little insane that these restrictions are just now happening. Because we've known about the importance of wearing a mask for months. And some states are only now, Only now? Putting a mosque mandates into place? Only now? It's like hosting a pool party. And then in the last 10 minutes saying, all right, guys, new rule, no shiting in the pool. Yeah, looking at you, David. I mean, better late than never, but there's some shit floating around. But this is why it's so important to always wear a mask in public spaces. Like you can protect your loved ones and your whole community with the thoe. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho-n-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, tho-only, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. tho, tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. thu. tho and your whole community with a $3 strip of fabric, people.

You have no excuse. And yes, maybe you're saying, but Trevor, I'm a rich snob. I would never wear something that only costs $3. Well, now you have no excuse either. Who says it's staying safe can also be a fashion statement. The world's most expensive face mask now making its debut. The $1.5 million mask was created by an Israeli jewelry company.

Hey, the holidays are coming. It features more than 3,600 black and white diamonds set in 250 grams of pure 18-carot gold. The designer says it's made to be 100% wearable. It features a slot for the wearer to insert. Yes, a disposable N99 mask, which is actually finer than an N95 mask. Wow! A 1.5 million dollar mask!

Rich people learn how to read the room. People all over the world are like, we're starving, and we need a more equal society. And then rich people are like, is there any way I can breathe through diamonds? I'm just saying, maybe lay low for a little while. Honestly, guys, where are you even going to wear a diamond mask? I mean, you're not going to wear it in the streets?

What are you going to wear it to a fancy party? You're not even supposed to be having parties during Corona. So you're just going to end up wearing this around the house, showing it off to the spread of coronavirus. So, thi to to Mr, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, you thi, you're thi, you're thrown, you're not to, you're not to, you're not to to to to, to, to, you're not to, you're not to, you're not to, you're not to, you're not to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, too, too, th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. too. thr. thr. thr. too. too. th th th too too th too too too too too thr. thr. thing needed to slow the spread of coronavirus. We also have to keep up social distancing. And right now, that means not having big family get-togethers for the holidays, especially indoors. Which sucks, please, don't get me wrong.

I get it. But does it suck more than having your loved ones die of COVID? Well, according to the Trump administration, yes, yes it does. Dr. Scott Atlas, who is one of the president's sources as it relates to the pandemic, and he has now come out and is talking about what people should be doing as they head into Thanksgiving with so much attention on the holiday right now. This kind of isolation is one of the unspoken tragedies of the elderly who are now being told, don't see your family at Thanksgiving. For many people, this is their final Thanksgiving, believe it or not.

What are we doing here? I think we have to have a policy, which I have been advocating, which is a whole person, whole health policy. No, man, this dude can't be serious. For many people, this is their final Thanksgiving, really? I mean, yes, thanks to the Trump administration is definitely going to be many people's final Thanksgiving, but still. And I love that whole, whole person health policy. If you get Corona, that's the whole thing.

It's not like you're going to say, well, I died of COVID, but damn, those mashed potatoes were great. Look, I do think it's important for people to see their families, especially around Thanksgiving. People look forward to it. But I also think it's more important to be able to see your family for the next 10 thanksgivings, that they'll hopefully get to be with you in person after all of this is done. It's not like Americans aren't used to the idea of not going home for the country safe. American generals in World War II, they understood this, they weren't like...

Yes, beating Hitler is important, but what's the point of freedom? If we have to miss cranberry sauce for one year, let's go home, soldiers. And it's so hilarious that conservatives have ended up here. Because when this pandemic started, you remember? They said, we don't need to shut down the economy, just be safe and responsible. Then they were like, we don't have to have th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the the the their, their, the the the the their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the economy, just be safe and responsible. Then they were like, we don't have to wear masks just to protect the elderly. Now they're like, you know what, bring the elderly in here. I can't fit all those leftovers in my fridge, okay? Get in here. It just doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense why Trump is willing to risk old people being exposed to Corona this much, unless, unless he thinks that it'll end up making him look good in

the long run, because you won't have old people dying if all the old people are already dead. All right, we're going to take a quick break. But when we come back, Donald Trump's last ditch plan to win the election that he lost. And after that, my can't miss interview with Kevin Hart. Stick around.

Welcome back to the daily social distancing show. It has now been 10 days since Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential

election. But outgoing president, Donald Jiglypuff Trump, is still looking for ways to overturn the results. Recounts haven't worked for him. And he even tried signing an executive order that November 3rd was opposite day, but somehow that didn't work. But it turns out there is one more thing that Trump could tried signing an executive order that November 3rd was opposite day, but somehow that didn't work. But it turns out there is one more thing that Trump could try. Could faithless electors save President Trump's re-election?

Some Republicans trying to get faithless electors to vote against the will of the people. President Trump's allies and his family today urged Republican state legislatures to ignore the will of voters in their states and to install electors that will cast electoral votes for President Trump. Yeah, even though Trump lost the election, some of his people are hoping that he could pull out a win by using faithless electors. And although faithless electors sounds like one of your aunties grown-up novels, they're not. And look, please don't get me wrong. This would be a long shot, a long shot. Like, it's about as likely as Mitch McConnell being on the cover of men's health.

But theoretically, faithless electors could give Trump the presidency. So the question is, who are they? What are they? And how can they be used to overturned overturn to overturn to overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn overturn to overturn to overturn to they be used to overturn the election? Well let's find out. In another installment of, if you don't know, now you know. When you were a little kid, you probably believed that people vote for president and whoever gets the most votes wins. Yeah. Simple childmind. The same way you believed that people vote for president and whoever gets the most votes wins. Yeah? Simple child mind. The same way you believe that your younger brother was they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they, what they, what they, what they, they, they, they, they, they, they they they they they they they they they they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they they are they they they they are they they they are they they they are they are they are they they are they are they. they. they. they. they. they. they, they, they, they, they, they, they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they. they are they. they are they. they. they are they. they are they. they are they. they are they are they are they. they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are the most votes wins. Yeah? Simple child mind.

The same way you believe that your younger brother was brought by the stalk. But once you got older, you learn that actually your mom and dad were riding the F train to Bone Town, because Bone Town is where the stork lives and that's how they got your little brother. And in the same way, the system for electing a president in America is more complex than just one person, one vote. Because you see, America's founding fathers wanted to come up with something that would prevent their biggest fear. The electoral college is a sort of glued together solution to a problem that the Constitution

couldn't really solve. They said should the Congress elect the president? No, if they do that then Congress will own the presidency. Another option was to have the people select their leader, but at the time they thought the country was too large and the people not informed enough to make that choice. And one of the odd compromises that they came up with was actually using this set the the set the set the set the set the set the set the set the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the concecocococoncea-c. the c. their to to to their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the c. the c. the c. the c. the c. the c. the c. the c. the c. their their their theirceaicicicicicicicicicicicicicec. theirsec. their c. their c. together together together together together together together together together together together together together together together together together thec.ec.ec. their c. the c not informed enough to make that choice. And one of the odd compromises that they came up with was actually using this set of political elites to do the actual voting for president, but still providing a mechanism to select those electors.

They thought by creating this wise group of elites, these electors could filter popular passions. They were afraid of a demagogue being chosen. They mistrusted direct democracy. These electors could filter popular passions. They were afraid of a demagogue being chosen. They mistrusted direct democracy. Alexander Hamilton wrote that the goal was to ensure that, quote, the office of president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. That's right.

According to Alexander Hamilton, The office of the president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an imminent degree endowed. Damn, I should make a musical out of this. You guys hear this? But the point is, Americans don't vote for the president. Americans vote for a slate of electors who will then go on to vote for the president. In many ways, it's the same way that American high school kids don't buy the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to vote for the president. In many ways, it's the same way that American high school kids don't buy the beer.

They give the homeless man money, and then he goes to buy the beer on their behalf. That way, it's more responsible. And it's amazing how if you read into it, the founding fathers really thought that everyone in the country was super dumb. Because everyone talks about how they wanted to build a new perfect society, when really, they were just basically installing child-proofing to keep the country safe and stop Americans from eating sand. Now, this whole idea of electors being smarter than the masses fell by the wayside pretty

quickly. And one of the main reasons for doing this was because they thought a lot of Americans wouldn't know enough about the candidates to vote for them. But you see that that that that thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the candidates to vote for them. But you see, that was hundreds of years ago, when information was harder to come by. Like, you only found out news when someone delivered it by horse. But now, we've got the internet, people. Everyone's super informed. Like, everyone in America, we all know things. Let's look at my phone.

I know that Hunter Biden moved to Russia and sold his laptop to Rudy Giuliani for drugs. I know that Hillary Clinton is in a pedophile ring and they drink the blood of children, and I know that Melania has a body double who's having an affair with Gary Busey? Huh. Actually, you know what, maybe we should go back to the horse. I don't know about this internet thing. But the point is, today it's understood that a state's electors will vote for the candidate who won their state's popular vote.

The only problem is, that's just an understanding. It's not an actual law. According to the National Archives, there is no constitutional provision or federal law that requires electors to vote according to to to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote according to their results of the popular vote in their state. Those who don't follow the wish, the will of the electorate, they're called faithless electors. In 2016, four of the 12 electors in Washington decided not to vote for Hillary Clinton, despite Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote in that state. Instead, three voted for Colin Powell and one voted for the Native American activist Faith Spotted Eagle. It isn't a new concept. According to fair vote, there have been 167 faithless electors since

the Electoral College was founded. 43% changed their vote because the candidate they were supposed to vote for, died before the Electoral College could vote. 40% who chose to vote for the candidate they wanted rather than matching the popular vote. 17% either didn't vote or cast an abnormal vote. In the 2004 election, rather than casting their vote for John Kerry, the unknown elector cast their vote for Carrie's VP, John Edwards, and also misspelled Edward's name as Edwards. Wow. So the founders just let electors do whatever they want. They can choose

someone the people didn't vote for, they can vote for a third party. They can even the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th their th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho their their tho tho tho tho th, th, th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to-co-ca to-ca. to-cauu. to. to. to. to. to. to. tho. thoo. tho. their th want. They can choose someone the people didn't vote for, they can vote for a third party, they can even just vote for a typo. I can't believe what a giant floor in the American electoral system this is. It's like finding out that they keep a key to Fort Knox under the doormat. And just by the way, I don't know if we should be holding voters accountable for the correct spelling of names. I don't think that's fair, especially in a country that's got a hundred different ways to spell Allison. How do you have four L's in your name?

Allison? Now, a lot of people do realize that this system is a problem. In fact, states were recently given the power to require electors to follow the will of the people. Unfortunately, very few of them actually do. In the past term, the Supreme Court upheld the right of the states to insist that electors vote for the person who won the popular vote. But here's the deal.

Only 14 of the 50 states actually have that legal requirement. In those 14 states, if a faithless elector goes rogue, the state can throw them out on the street and get somebody else in to vote according to the popular vote. But in all the rest of the states, if a faithless elector goes off on their own tooth, there's nothing the state can do about it except find them. Really? Electors can subvert the will of the voters and undermine the foundations of democracy and their punishment is the same as parking in front of a fire hydrant.

In fact, parking in front of a hydrant is even worse because you don't just get a fine, you'll also get toed. I mean, charging someone a thousand dollars for giving the presidency to someone, doesn't mean that they won't do it. It just means the bidding starts at $1, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toe. toe. toe. toe. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toe. th th thr. th th at $1,000. Now, the good news is, Trump is down so many electors that it's unlikely he can convince enough of them to turn against their states' voters and vote for him. But the bad news is, it's easy to see how a future election could be close enough that the losing candidates could convince

enough electors to make them the winning candidates. And it will be totally legal. So, just a warning to all the states out there. You guys might want to firm up your laws about faithless electors, you know, because Trump might not succeed this time, but it's only a matter of time before dumb junior runs. And God help us all if that chinless mother- together. So, those are the electors, and that's how they can change the game. And if you don't know, now you know. Stick around, because when we come back, Jordan Klepper goes to the Maga Rally in D.C. and Kevin Hart tells us why he's quitting everything.

Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Last Saturday, Washington, D.C. was the site of the million mega march, which was thousands of angry, fired up people refusing to believe the results of the election.

So of course, we sent our very own Jordan Klepper there to chat with them. And he filed this very tense edition of Jordan Fingers the Pulse. Trump's people were gathering. So I went to Washington, D.C. to the self-proclaimed and self-counted million Maga March, where moms for Trump, Maga dads, and free jazz instrumentalists for Trump. Oh, you're four years too late?

Converged to do what exactly? We are here to celebrate the winning of Donald Trump. Oh, you're four years too late. You're four years too late? No, no, no. No, no, he won this time. This time? You won. It's not the size of the flag that matters.

It's how many votes you get the electoral college system. They were here to celebrate the fact that America is a rich, diverse nation with so many different kinds of alleged election fraud. There's people that's changing votes. Who? People across the United States. Where did you hear this? All over. We can't ignore it. We're talking about having dead people vote, number one. Should Trump have appealed more to the dead person vote?

Should he appeal? We just need fairness. To me the biggest fraud is unfortunately the millions of voters that voted for Biden that were brainwashed by the media. Everybody said that's the big flag. It's a big flag. Yeah, it's a big flag. It's also not an American flag. The stars and stripes on a brother just appreciate if you don't stand up. It feels like it's also not an American flag. The stars, the stripes on the brother, just appreciate it if you don't stand.

Doesn't it, it feels like it's mostly Donald Trump obscuring them. Still, I appreciate if you don't stand though. Be honest, if anybody's disrespecting a flag, I think it's the 10-foot high Donald Trump. I have an analogy. In the game. They got a look at every little technicality. Let me do one. I got an analogy.

It's like the NFL. There's a game, okay? It's the lions versus the Packers. The lions lose. Everybody goes home. But the lions stay on the field. the the the equation and he wins the national. If you definitely discount certain people, then the numbers add up in your favor.

Okay. For what? You want a flag to stop the steal, bro? That's fucking stole it. What's the evidence? The mail-in ballots, first of all, we all, we the the the th, th, th, th, th, to send the mail and ballots out to steal the election, along with the voting machines are all compromised. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, the Corona was created to create... The Democrats are working with the Communist Chinese to put Biden in because China has blackmail on Joe Biden.

That is a fact. You have that on any t-shirt? No. People are stealing our election. It's obvious. This is our country. People are stealing our election? How are they stealing the election?

Because they're putting voter fraud. How are they putting voter fraud? Department of Homeland Security? Department of Homeland Security? Who's Departmentthat? That's one guy like you and me. That's Donald. That's Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security. And so because one person says something that's a, that's definitely means what it is. That's the government and the court trump tru. Trump's lawyer said there's no fraud. Don't try and twist me, baby. Don't try and twist me, baby. You're in politics. I'm the regional. I'm the regional. I'm the regional. I'm in the regional. I'm in politics. I'm the regional. I'm thoompo. I'm thoom. I'm thoom. I'm th. I'm thoom. I'm thoom. I'm th. thoom. thoom. thoom. tha. thi. thoom. thoom. thoom. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thooooom. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That's th. That's th. th. th. That's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. tha. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. tha. tha. tha. th.icksburg, baby. I'm the tea party, baby. I'm the regional tea party chairman in the Frenchburg region. Come on, fake news.

What you got? Don't find yourself a safe space. We are patriots. Let me get this straight. You're yelling to me to find a safe space, and you have elevated yourself with a megaphone. occasional signs of progress. Something fitting about a U-Haul truck here. Yet no one seems to acknowledge that Trump's legal defense is crumbling. It doesn't matter though. For these guys, some battles never end. What is that? Is that Trump? That's Trump on a Confederate flag? That's Confederate flag, yeah. See that? See that's CNN? Dixie still lives? Buddy, you don't know how to pick a winner? You might as a jet's hat on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to thi. to to to to to to thr. to the. th. th. thr. th. th. th. th. th don't know how to pick a winner.

You might as well put a Jets hat on. If they don't trust this election's narrative, which the rest of the world is seen, what do they trust? I trust Trump, and what he knows. You know, I don't trust the media that much. So the only person you really believe Donald Trump himself? Uh, that's not the only person I believe. Who else do you believe? I mean, ultimately I believe Jesus is king and I believe the Bible. That's like two. So you got Jesus and Trump?

No, I trust a lot of people, my friends, my family. What do you say the critics? What you say? Tucker Carlson? told you. . . We used to like Fox. We don't like Fox. We don't like MSNBC. We don't like any of the fake news channels because they lie all the time. What happened to Fox? Was it their COVID covers that turned you off?

No. What about Hannity? I like Hannity? Tucker? Tucker? Tucker? Yeah, absolutely. Even Fox, theirfaxe feeling less like the peace and love of Woodstock and more like the buzzkill at Altamont. F. Gantepa!

F. Gantifa! Fcantin' fiddling the end of an era complete with actual night violence. For you guys the liberal media, I have one word for you. You are controlled by the deep state. That's like four or five, six words, ten words. That's even two. That one's even two. Push your fake news.

Double. I have more for you, fake news. Fink you. And I have more for you, fake news. T'feehawks. Two words. That's two words. That's two words.

Can no one in the Maka world count? Thank you so much for that, Jordan. I'm glad you were able to make new friends. All right, stick around, because when we come back, Kevin Hart is going to be joining us on the show, and it's going to be a blast. You don't want to miss it.

Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. My guest tonight is the Kevin Hart. He joined me on the show to talk about the accident that changed his life and his latest Netflix comedy special called Zero Fix Given. Kevin Hart, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.

Nice. Nice. I like it. I like the creative behind it. Like the the the the th show show show show show show show th. the the the the the thi thi social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social social. thi. thi. thi thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the Nice. I like it. I like the creative behind it. Like the whole social distancing thing but still keeping it going. I like it, Trev. I like what you're doing. Man, you know what's crazy about you is you haven't changed. A lot of people don't know this. Some of the diehard fans of the show would, but you were the first guest ever on the Daily Show with Trevor No. A lot of people didn't want to come on the show. They were like, I don't know what this South African's going to be all about. Kevin Hart was like, nah, I'll stick my neck out. It's a small neck, and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you thue. And you thue. And you th. And you th. And you thick. And you thick. And you're that, and you're that, and you're the the the the th. that, and you're the the the th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the te te te tean tean tean tea tea tea tea tea tea tea tea tea the the the the the fact that you are a comic coming from across the water And embracing an opportunity here in the states I thought it was dope. I thought your story was dope and it was more about supporting you in that platform.

I was shocked that you said yes because you were already Kevin Hart the superstar you are truly in my opinion The most bankable star in Hollywood. I mean, I've watched movies where you made cameo appearances and you gave 300 percent. I've seen you on stage in comedy clubs where nobody knew your name, but you were giving 500 percent. What are you doing next? Are you coming out with a Kevin Hart vaccine for this pandemic? What are you doing? No vaccine. No vaccine is on the way or underway. You know, right now, man, it's crazy because we were in this thing, this crazy moment, and I found myself sitting with like, you know, nothing to do for one of the first times in my career.

When we were shut down, there was literally nothing. And I took advantage of having that time of course spending it with my family chilling and I decided to put the pen to the pad and come on with a new set. I ended up taping a set during a pandemic and now it's about to release so I think that's the thing I'm looking most forward to seeing people's reaction to this version of me and stand-up comedy. I like to call it a raw version of myself, hence the title, Zero F. Givin' So I feel like there's a deeper meaning to this about Zero F's Given. And a lot of it has to do with that heart and the special where, you know, when

you're talking about the accident and you're talking about the the life that Kevin Hart had thapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapap that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tha. the the the the the the the the the. that's that's that's that's that life that Kevin Hart is living now. Talk me through some of that. Like, I would love to know because the whole world went through that moment. Kevin Hart, we heard his back might have been broken, and we didn't know if he was coming back. And then the next thing we know you were back and you were back on the grind again, but it's like there was a put things in perspective differently, right? You look at life differently. And the version of myself that I was pre-accident was a guy that took a lot of things for granted. You know, I expected things to be a certain way because that's what they seem to be. I'm in control. I'm doing it. I use that word a lot. And, you know sometimes you need a wake-up call sometimes you need an awakening. Zero-fix-given for the first time is me being okay with being myself and not explaining why I'm being myself you know within stand-up comedy I've always had to do

it a certain way after a certain level of success because of all that I have and all of the people underneath me that are my pyramid, you know, as a CEO, as a chairman of multiple companies, you know, what I do affect so many others. And I've had to walk a certain way, walk on a straight line, and try not to put others in jeopardy based off of my reckless behavior mistakes. And in this one, this is about me being okay with not just mistakes but fucking verbal freedom. It means I'm not saying things and in closing my eyes because of the consequences that's going to come with it. Right. Yeah. I'm doing stand-up comedy and I'm doing it being oblivious to our culture of today.

I didn't let today's times affect my development of this material. And when I say zero-fix-given, it basically means, guys, I don't care about the conversation outside anymore. I've lost a little bit of patience patience and I don't mind telling you why. Here's why I'm a little flustered. Here's why I'm a little frustrated. Here's why there's a little chip on my shoulder. Here's why I am the man that I am. Here's what happened with me, especially after my accident. But it's me taking it away where I don't give a

f-bomb about how you feel about what I'm saying. I'm saying it because I want to. Take it to leave it. The only concern I have though is Kevin Hart is, like, how come you still driving those cars? Why do you drive cars without an airbag? That's what I want to know. Why would you go back with? Why would you to buy cars that don't have airbags?

Here's why? You get one life, Trevor. That means you should drive a car with an airbag. That logic is flawed. Okay, well, I'm gonna give you my logic. And if you feel it's flawed, guess what? I don't know what? This is part of my special.

This part of the special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special special. Here's what, man. You know what? I love old school cars. I love building cars. I love developing cars from beginning, middle to end. I love Mopar. I love what it means. I love the muscle and idea behind it.

I love having collectors items. I love the fact that some of my cars will never be driven and will be priceless. That's a hobby that I have. As you get older, you got to findthings that you can put your all into that you love, that you enjoy. So stand-up comedy is one of those things. That's one of those things, but as you get older, those things take up a lot of your time. As you get older, you want to be home more, but you need hobbies. And those hobbies aren't just your wife and your kids, you need things that occupy your mental, your creative thinking, your creative space.

And for me, that's a world where I find joy. I'm not going to compromise my happiness because of the thought or feeling from others. It makes me happy. So you're just going to be a mechanic, Kevin? Is that what you're telling me? Hey man, I'll be the best father and husband and mechanic and chill guy ever. I am not. I'm not going to be the angry guy. Okay.

I'm not... Speaking of being, speaking of being a good father and being at home and everything, where are you? It feels like you snuck into an abandoned building and like you're doing this from like an office that got shut down because of COVID. Where are you? This is not your house. You've got a nice house. Where are you? I'm in I'm in Toronto. I'm in a I'm in a house in Toronto. Okay, you're doing the movie. A man, man from Toronto You love making movies. I don't think you'll ever stop making movies. I have a strong passion for it, but you got to understand it. I'm you know, I'm the the the th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm in th. I'm in th. I'm in the th. I'm in th. I'm in the th. I'm in the the the the th. I'm in the th. I'm in th. I'm in the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'm in in in in in th. I'm in in th. I'm in in in th. I'm in th. I'm in th. I'm in th. I'm in th. I'm in th. I'm in th. I'm in th. I'm in thrown. I'm in thrown. I'm in thro. I'm in thro. I'm in thro. I'm in thro. I'm in thro. I'm in th right? So look at where we are today and I'm you know I'm praying a guy that we recover but I'm doing a movie in the middle of this COVID pandemic and people got mass we got to be six feet apart, there's social distancing. I'm praying that we get back to the place of old and get out of this. But for me, I feed off of energy.

I feed off positivity. That's what the movies business, that's what has done for me. Like making movies and seeing people go, watch the movies, go laugh at those movies. That makes me happy. That's joy to me. When I can't do it at the level that I've done it and I've done it at the highest level, well then it's time to start to rethink and have different conversations. And not that we're there yet. It's just how I'm just, it's just perspective. You know, I'm 41. So am I, am I going to be 45 and it's still the same? If so, let's keep riding. At 50, is still the same? If so, let's the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same thi, the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same the same the same the same, the same the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.

at greater risk than ever before especially those who don't know where their next meal is coming from. Now luckily meals on wheels is out in the streets delivering meals to elderly Americans every single day to keep them safe and nourished in their communities across the country. Until tomorrow, stay safe out there, wear a mask, and remember, if you spend a million dollars on a face mask, it will probably protect you from coronavirus. But you'll probably test positive for being a dushbag. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition.
