You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. 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? I'm Trevor Noah, and this is the daily social distancing show. Today is February 9th, which means you only have five days left to prepare for Valentine's Day. And let's be honest, after the year we've all been through, remember to focus on what's really important this year. You know, don't worry about spending a lot of money on champagne or jewelry. All you need to give your loved one is two stolen vials of the Pfizer vaccine. Anyway, on tonight's show, Why India is beefing with Rihanna. Dulce Sloan weighs in on guerrilla glue, and Donald Trump is on trial for murder-ring the Constitution.

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 Noa. Ears Edition. Let's kick things off with today's big story. Donald J. Trump, unemployed Twitter bot and former president of the United States. Today, Trump became the only president ever to face a second impeachment

trial, which is pretty impressive when you consider he only showed up to work about half of the time. I mean, if Trump really applied himself as president, we could be on impeachment number 35 by now. And the trial kicked off today with Democrats presenting a video, which showed Trump's speech on January 6th interspersed with scenes of violence from his supporters. We're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. We're going to walk down. We're going to walk down to the Capitol.

Let's take the Capitol. We are going to the Capitol where our problems are. U.S.S. U.S. to the FI. Wow. Let us tell you. That's enough.

That's enough. Let us tell. There's a fork video that Republican senators didn't see because they pretended to go to the bathroom. But you can definitely tell that this impeachment is the sequel, because the sequel always has to turn things up to 11. The original impeachment was like, listen to this diplomat, describe a phone call as you ponder the meaning of quid pro quo.

But this impeachment is like, Michael Bay presents, bomb, bomb, bomb, impeachment two. We're storming the Capitol! Ah, da, da, gaga, g-da, g-ga-degg! Ewe! Ah! But after the video, it was the Trump defense team's turn to make their best possible case.

Although, based on how it went today, I'm I I I I I I I I I'm worried that Trump is gonna get the chair. My name is Bruce Castor. I am the lead prosecutor, lead counsel for the 45th president of the United States. I was an assistant DA for such a long time. I keep saying prosecutor, but I do understand the difference, Mr. Raskin. I don't want to steal the thunder from the other lawyers, but Nebraska, you're going to hear, is quite a judicial thinking place. My parents had on a record.

And we still know what records are, right, on the thing you put the needle down on and you play it. And the other day, when I was down here in Washington, I came down earlier in the week to try to figure out how to find my way around. I worked in this building 40 years ago. I got lost then, and I still do. The founders recognized that the argument that I started with, that he talks about gallant men, who is the name of the, of the album.

Good lord. Trump's lawyer is giving the speech you give when you have to stall because the actual lawyer is stuck in traffic. Trump is probably watching this at home like what the hell is wrong with this guy? The ad on the side of the bus said that he was the best. Why would he be on a bus if he's the the the the the the th? the th. th. th. th. the the th th th th th th th th th th th the the th th 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, the, the, the, the, the, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the, thin, the, thin, the the thin, thin, the thin, the thin, the the the the the th what the hell is wrong with this guy? The ad on the side of the bus said that he was the best. Why would he be on a bus if he's not the best? Although I will say this, the fact that Trump now has a lawyer who's not leaking printer out of his head, that's a step in the right direction.

Here's the and trim his pubs for hours because the jury has already reached its verdict. In just the last hour, the Senate voted that the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump can move forward. Six Republicans joined with Democrats in a 56 to 44 vote, saying the impeachment trial is constitutional. The question, though, is would there in any scenario

be enough Republicans to cross the aisle to vote to convict the former president, Donald Trump, and given that just six cross the aisle here on this vote today, and they'll need 17 to do that in order to convict him? It doesn't look like the impeachment managers are going to be able to get there. That's right, people. Before before before before th th th thi before before thi before thi before the the trial before the trial before thi before thi before the trial their their their their their their thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to conve. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to to to to to to to to get there. That's right, people. Before this trial even started, almost every Republican juror has made it clear that they don't want a trial at all. And I get it. I get why Republicans voted this way.

Because on the one hand, yes, an angry mob stormed the Capitol building where they work and could have killed them. Yes. But on the other hand, everyone hates jury duty. Although, honestly, I don't know why some of these senators are even allowed to be on the jury. It was my understanding that saying crazy shit like, I want to overthrow the government was how you got out of jury duty. And I know that this vote might make the trial seem pointless now.

But just because we know how the trial will end up, the trial shouldn't try and, to, to, the, the, to, the,trial shouldn't take place. I mean, when you're watching law and order, right, you turn it off in the first five minutes when the cops interview a dentist to obviously kill his patient to cover up an affair? Of course not. You watch the whole thing because then you get to say, I knew it when you end up being right. Now, we're going to keep you up to date on the impeachment right up until the moment that Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump. that Trump. that Trump. that Trump. that Trump. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the te, the te, te, the thea. the thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. toe. toe, toe, to on from President Trump to someone else dealing with a never-ending bad hair day. Gorilla Glue is now responding after a woman used their product and her hair. Tessica Brown posted on Instagram earlier this month that her hair had been stuck in the same style for over a month after she used Gorilla glue spray to keep her hair in place. Brown says she used the Gabila glue after she ran out glue spray to keep her hair in place. Brown says she used the gorilla glue

after she ran out of her usual spray. Brown had to actually go to the hospital for medical help in removing the glue. She's taken to social media with her plans of hiring an attorney to pursue charges against gorilla glue. She claims while the products label warns against using on eyes, skin or clothing. It does not mention hair. Ah, man, you've got to feel bad for this woman.

Because as crazy as this is, I kind of know how she feels. Right? One time, I accidentally ordered Papa John's pizza, thinking it was food. No one warned me. Now, obviously, I have my own thoughts on this story. But to get a more relevant perspective, I'm toeeeeeeolsesesesesesese. toeolse. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe, toe, toe, toe, to story, but to get a more relevant perspective, I'm going to bring in our very own resident hair expert, Dulce Sloan. Dulce, what's going on? I thought I would give you a call.

Well, well, well, hmm. Hmm. Uh-huh. You would be calling me when there's a black woman in the news. No, no, no, do you say, come on, it's not like that. Oh, so you want to talk about Elon Musk and, you know, you want to talk about Tesla buying up Bitcoin? Uh, yeah, yeah, but for now, I wanted to talk about the gorilla glue girl. Mm-hmm, that's what I thought. Look, Trevor, just because a black woman does something doesn't mean you have to talk to me me me me me to to to to, you could have talked to Costa. I mean, he thinks black lives matter. You know, I don't

want to talk about this as a black woman. You know what, to say, I didn't, I didn't even think of, I apologize. We can just, we can just end this. But I do want to talk about this as a, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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. the, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. fter, because I'm a crafter, Trevor. You know, I'm sitting here making Valentine's Day cards for my friends. And I got all the adhesives here, okay? I got double-sided tape. I got a high-gloo gun. I got titty tape. We holding stuff down over here, Trevor. Okay, so then, what do you make of the story tha? tha? tha. tha. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thate. thate.

I mean, if that glue would lock her hair in place for a month, maybe it could have kept

me and my ex-together, literally, joined at the hip. I mean, it would have made sex difficult. But you know, we'll work it out. Where is he going? You know, it's actually funny you that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thu, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. to thu. to to thu. th. thu. to thu. thi. thi. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. thu. thu. thu. thu. thr. thr. thr. to to thr. thrue throoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, thu. th th to to to issue a statement defending themselves. They basically said that you can't blame them because the bottle says you can't put it on skin. Yeah, but in her defense, they didn't say you can't put it on scalp. And also the bottle says all the stuff you can put it on. Fabric, wood, plastic.

She must have read all of that and been like, well, if this can put wood down, my edges are going to be immaculate. So you sympathize with Tessica Brown. Of course I do, Trevor. No one wants to see someone go through some shit like this. You know, black women, we want our edges to be laid, but not forever. And you should see the comments. A lot of people are trying to help her out. We're like, Tessica. try coconut oil, try acetone, try Jesus. Yeah, Dulce, and you know someone is in trouble when even the online commenters are like, no, we need to help this person. That's how serious this got. The only question is, like,

how do you think this whole thing is going to end? I think this is going to work out for her. I mean, this is going to work this. this. this. this. this. this. this meantime, she's lucky she was going for a ponytail when this all happened. I mean, imagine she was trying to do some new shit and ended up with a Mohawk this whole time. Oh, like my uncle Josh, he got an awful haircut this one time. Let me show you. You know, Trevor, I got to go. I got it. Is everything okay, Dulce? You know, Trevor, I gotta go. I gotta go. I gotta go.

Is everything, is everything okay, Dulce? Yeah, yeah, I'm good. You know, it's my prayer time. I'm gonna just, I'm gonna go. Are you, are you stuck to your, did you put your glue gun on your chair? How do you? No, man, I'm trying to get your little show a little razzle dazzle, you know, kind of like a sweep out. See, that's not about, you're worried about...

Dose, if you're glued to your chair, you should call, you should call someone, Dose, doce, someone, do you say. I got this, it's fine, I got some acetone somewhere. Don't worry about, thii.

And we're talking about India because in a year of global protests, they're in the midst of the biggest one anywhere. Thousands of farmers blocked highways across India today in protest of the country's new agricultural laws. The blockades are only the latest development in the face-of between agricultural workers and the government. This is one of the busiest highways leading to Delhi. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. ti. And, today. And, today. And, tha. And, tha.

And, te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. today, today, today, today in the face-off between agricultural workers and the government. This is one of the busiest highways leading to Delhi.

It's been blocked for weeks. Tens of thousands of farmers from the northern states of India have marched to the capital city. Last November, they organized a national strike involving 250 million people. That's more than all the adults in America. Their struggle isn't going unnoticed. R&B mega-star Rianna asked her 100 million Twitter followers, why aren't we talking about this?

Climate activist Greta Tuneberg tweeted a message of solidarity. Sparking a furious response from the Indian government. It's also drawn the ire of New Delhi police, who in only the last few hours have now filed a police case citing Tunberg's tweet. Rianna and Greta Tunberg, effigies were burnt recently by pro-government crowds after they tweeted in favor of the farmers. Damn! When a country that hot starts burning shit, you know they aren't missing around.

I mean, they're burning Greta Tumberg in effigy, which is really going to piss her off. I mean, think of all the carbon emissions. By the way, there was definitely at least one guy in that crowd who already had a life-size Rianna pillow. He was at the protest like, ha ha ha! No, guys, it's an effigy. Let's burn it. I definitely didn't thaguuu. I thu. I didn't thu. I didn't thu. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th.

So, why exactly are India's farmers protesting? Well, let's step back and find out in another installment of, If you don't know, now you know.

When you think about, if you don't know, when you think about how it works in the United States. When you think about farming, what do you think about? You probably think about how it works in the United States. Giant agribusiness companies running giant farms where they raise cows that are so jacked on steroids. They look like when you milk them, protein shakes come out of their teats. But most Indian farmers work on a much smaller scale. And it's when the government tried to change that up that the manure hit the fan.

This is all happening because Prime Minister Modi's government has passed new farming laws that will change how the agricultural industry has worked for decades. India's agriculture sector makes up nearly 15% of the country's 2.9 trillion economy and employs around half of its 1.3 billion people. The vast majority of India's farmers own fewer than three acres. For decades they've sold their produce in their home states, the government sanctioned markets called Mundys, a system that guaranteed minimum prices on several key commodities.

In September last year, the government passed three farm laws that lose in rules on how crops are produced, stored and sold. The laws allow private players a greater role. And that sparked farmers' fears that they will lose decades-old concessions and be left to fend for themselves at the mercy of the free market. The measures, they say, will only benefit big corporations and push them into poverty. These laws will have an effect on anyone who eats. They will buy from us at very low prices,

and we lose our livelihoods. Man, that sounds like a really rough situation for those farmers. And if this last year has taught us anything, it's that we cannot take farmers for granted. No way in the world. We need th th th th th th th th, th, th, th, we th, we all th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thate, tho, tho, tho, tho, thate, thate, tho, tho, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, th. These th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, th, the th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the thea, theauuuuuu theauauauauauauauauauauauauaua, the thoooes, the that we cannot take farmers for granted. No way in the world. We need farmers. I mean, we also what happened when we try to grow our own vegetables on our kitchen windowsills. After nine months, what did we grow?

Nothing other than resentment and hatred for our roommates. And this law is going to have widespread repercussions because farming employs 600 million people in India. That's almost twice the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire the entire thiiiiiiiiiiiolioli. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiolioli. th. thi. thi. thi, we' th. Wea, we'll. Wea, we'll. Wea, we'll. Wea, we'll. Wea, we'll. Wea, we'll. Wea. Wea, we'll. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea, we'll. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea.

We's almost twice the entire population of the United States, which, apart from everything else, is just another reminder that the Twitter trends are pretty bullshit. I mean, you'd think the entire world is talking about the Joker and the Snyder Cut when in reality, if everyone was on Twitter, the top-training topics every day would just be wheat. So, with their livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood livelihood li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li, their their their th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, which th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thitop training topics every day would just be weak. So with their livelihoods at stake, India's farmers decided to make their opposition known

by blocking the roads into the capital as a form of civil disobedience. You know, it's like that Mahatma Gandhi quote I saw on the internet. Sitting in traffic sucks major ass. And that's how things stayed for a while, until a couple weeks ago, when they escalated it big time. The largely peaceful campaign briefly turned violent last week when protesters drove a procession of tractors into the heart of the Capitol New Delhi. Some farmers confronted police who fired back with tear gas. The government has arrested more than 120 people and charged farm union leaders with rioting

and sedition. Now, the government's responding by using massive concrete barriers to box in the three main sit-in sites along New Delhi's highways. It's also cut off electricity, water, and the internet. Delhi police have deployed 50,000 police and power military personnel in and around the capital. There are extra drones flying over protest sides. They have erected thousands of iron nails on some around the Capitol, there were extra drones flying over protest sides. They have erected thousands of iron nails on some of the roads leading up to some of the sites. India's Prime Minister Norendra Modi has broke his silence describing violence in the Capitol New Delhi

last Tuesday as an insult to the country. Modi says he'll not change his mind on the new laws, but has repeated an offer to delay them for 18 months. How damn! That tractor was moving! It's like someone made a Grand Theft Auto mission in Animal Crossing. But look, clearly the government has decided that they've had enough of this protest, because this is a major crackdown. And maybe they think postponing the law will satisfy the farmer, but think about it.

In 18 months, people will be in the same position that they are in now. And the protests will happen all over again. I mean, you're basically just giving people 18 months to get angrier and soup up their tractors even more. But you see, this crackdown shows you how worried the government must be about this protest. And honestly, they probably should be, because it's clear that these farmers are digging in for the long haul. Farmers say they are undeterred by the government's crackdown and will continue their protests until the agriculture laws are repealed. Tents have lined the highway where farmers spend cold winter nights. Water tankers are brought in by tractors for bathing, cooking and cleaning.

Medical Boots have been set up to tend to the sick. Dozens of people, young and old are busy cooking in community kitchens and serving meals. There's a makeshift mall, a roadside market selling jackets and coats. Youngsters intermittently break the routine with song and dance atop tractors. We've made this our home, whether it takes four years or more, we're here to stay. Now you see, there, that's some determination right there. That dude is ready to protest for four years, which doesn't surprise me,

because nobody on earth is more patient than a farmer. Farmers are the same people who will wait five months to grow an eggplant. An eggplant. I'm not even patient enough to find it in the emoji. Sometimes I'll just send like a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thum a thum. thum. thum. thum. thum. thum. thume thumeateateate thi. tipe's takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes. takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes. takes takes. takes. takes. takes takes takes takes. takes takes takes takes takes a takes a takes a takes a takes a takes a takes a takes a ta. ta. ta. ta. takes ta. takes takes takes takes. takes takes takes. takes. An egg plant. I'm not even patient enough to find it in the emoji. Sometimes I'll just send like a cucumber or something. And you know if you ask me, it was especially smart of those farmers to build a mall inside their camp. Because think about it. Now, if the government sends in police officers, those cops automatically become mall cops and lose all authority. Checkmate. So the next time you see Indian farmers trending you'll have a little idea of what it all means. The government is

trying to force the farmers back to their fields but the farmers aren't giving up their demands and nobody knows how this thing is going to end up. But I don't know if I may quote one of their prominent supporters, this protest might just work, work, work, work, work, work, work, nin' this man bur, burr, bur, bur. And if you don't know, now you know. All right, when we come back, Robin Roberts is joining us on the show, and Noah Centennial is also going to be here. So stick around.

When 60 minutes premiered in September, 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. 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 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Earlier today, I spoke with Good Morning America's very own, Robin Roberts. We talked about her new special about the Tuskegee Airmen returning to the studio after broadcasting from home and who the greatest NFL player is of all time. Robin Roberts, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. It's a pleasure to be here. Many people know you as the face of Good Morning America. You have been the face of America's institution for an extremely long time, but a lot of people

may not know that you were the face of sports center for 15 years and you covered the NFL for an extremely long time. So I would like to know from you the most important question that is plaguing America right now. Is Tom Brady the greatest of all time? Oh, come on, give me something hard. That's a softball you're starting with me. That's a softball? He's a goat. Okay, okay, no, no, no, fine. I'll give you a harder one, Robin. Is Tom Brady the greatest athlete of all time? See now that's, okay, that's harder.

Is he the greatest athlete of all time. You know what? That's debatable. I love me some Serena Williams, you know, 23 Grand Slam titles, one when she was pregnant. Try that, Tom Brady, okay? You went a Super Bowl while pregnant, maybe we'll talk. But you know, but it's fun to have this argument and I'm just glad to, in my lifetime, to have seen, to be seeing someone like that, to have seen Michael Jordan, to be seeing Serena Williams. I mean, we've had some great, great athletes during our time, but he is special.

You've always shown love to the team that you work with on camera every single morning. We wake up with you, we enjoy watching you. What has it been like doing the show from home now? Because a lot of your show is about that chemistry that you share in person. It really is. And I got to tell you, I've got some great teammates at GMA. Michael Strahan, who's at home because he was diagnosed with COVID-1. I thank, but now he's broadcasting from home.

For a time, George had to do the same. I did it for the longest. I was at home, seven months, had my pod, Dooser, my daughter, my girlfriend, Amber, helping out. That was really difficult. It was really challenging to keep that chemistry when you have like a two-second delay. But more than that, it's just, but I have to say, Trevor, when I came back

into the studio in September, man, it is like, I can't describe the feeling, and I know it's a feeling that a lot of people are gonna have once they can get back to their workplace. We've never been better. We've never been more in sync. You've been the face that has guided America through crises. You've been there to share some of the most fun stories. But this new project that you're embarking on might be my favorite Robin Roberts project yet.

It's about the Tuskegee Airmen, and it's entitled Legacy of Courage. And what I love about it is, not just that you're telling the story, but your connection to the story. Tell me how this all came to be, please. Their legacy is so broad, you know, fighting fascism abroad and then racism back here at home. My father, Colonel Lawrence E. Roberts, was the Tuskegee Airmen.

At the age of 19, he got on a segregated train, to be a pilot. What they did in World War II, what the Tuskegee air their, tahahahahah to paint their tails So they would know because they escorted Bombers and they needed to know that they were friendlies and not the enemy that was escorting him like that Exemplary flying record that they had and that they had to fight for that right in Thank Eleanor Roosevelt who was a first lady at the time went down to Tuske. the tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the the tus. tus. the the tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. the the the the tus. tus. the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. the their. the the the the the the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. I was. I was th. I was tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. tus. tusk. tusk. tusk. tusk. tusk. tusk. tusk. tusk. tusk. tusk. they were today. to Tuskegee, can you imagine this? Went down to Tuskegee in the 40s, got in a plane with a black man, flew with him and said they're all right, let them go. And so then they were able to go and actually be in combat, before they could just train but they couldn't fight. And all they wanttime. I've often seen the story of the Tuskegee Airmen as myth. It's African-American myth and it's beautiful.

It's like these legends and these heroes. But this story takes us through a different journey about how they were fighting just to get the military to accept black service members, just to get the American public to accept black service members. It was a challenge that we really take for granted when you're just seeing the accolades that they achieved now. And that's why it's so important that people watch this film because we take you there. All they wanted to do was fight for this country.

They wanted to fly. And when they came back from the war, it wasn't as heroes. They came back and after all they had done, they were told back of the bus, your second class citizen, and they fought to integrate the military, and also many of them became very, very much a part of the civil rights movement at the time. Right. Really gave us as the public a framework to go like, oh my gosh, you know, they were challenged that they didn't have the intellect to fly.

But you know what? They showed that excellence, and yes, black excellence can beat adversity of all types. And that's the kind of message that they said to so many people back here in the US. There's no denying that in America, there is the dichotomy that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many that many thatthe dichotomy that many black people face where they say I love this country and yet it feels like this country does not love me in return. From your father's perspective and being his daughter and seeing how he navigated this

paradox. What do you think we can learn from that journey and how to I think the conversations in and around patriotism and still challenging America to be better to its citizens the the the in and around patriotism and still challenging America to be better to its citizens. Thank you for using the word patriot. My father was a patriot, a true patriot, and that's all he ever said. He would talk about how he felt freer in the air than on the land as a black man in this country. And I think it's very timely, given what we went through in 2020, the racial racial racial racial racial racial racial racial, the racial, to racial, to to to to to to th, to th and, th and, th and thi, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and thi, and, and, and thi, and, and thi, and, and thi, and thi, and, and, and, and, and thioliol, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and thi.a.a.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thely, given what we went through in 2020, the racial reckoning, seeing young, old, black, white, taking to the streets and saying, no more, no more.

It was really, and I think this is why this film is so timely, because yes, we go back and we show their legacy, but we also bring it to today. You see how they impacted it. Barack Obama himself said, they were th. th. th. th. th. th. th. see how they impacted that. Barack Obama himself said they were an example to him that propelled him into public service. So I think when we watch a film like this, we're reminded of our history and it lets us know why am I taking to the streets and yes, some things we're still fighting for. Some things are very similar that we're fighting for that they did as well. It's heartfelt, it's wonderful. It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's a thi. And I's a thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, it's because because, it's a thi, it's why, it's why, it's why, it's why, it's why, it's why, it's why, it's why, why, it's why. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. thi. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. the, the, their, the, their're fighting for that they did as well. It's heartfelt, it's wonderful, and I can see why because of the story and the history that you share with one of those airmen, and I guess the story of all of them combined.

Robin Roberts, thank you so much for joining me on the show. Next time I'm going to wear a hoodie. Going to bring me please, I beg you, do not do that to America. Thank you, Trevor. Take care.

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. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Earlier today, I spoke with Noah Centenio, star of the hit Netflix franchise to all the boys.

We talked about his journey from playing romantic hero to superhero, so much more. Noah Centenio, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing show. Glad to be here. Very non I mean we're not even, is this even social distancing if we're not even in the same room. This is like telemetric distancing. It's not. I think it's the ultimate form of social distance that you can do socially. It's not not even. Yeah. to not even. to not even. to to the to to to the to to the to to the to th. th. to th. th. to to to to th. 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 to to to to to to th. th. th. th. 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 the theooooooooooooooo. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No's nice. I think it's the ultimate form of social distance, like it's the furthest distance that you can do socially. It's not being. Yeah, it's true. It's like a social distancing. I like it. That's exactly what it. Is this like a Noah thing? I just know is growing their hair? Is that what's going on right now? I suppose. I suppose, I suppose if you pull. Oh yeah, mine can go all the way. I try and keep it like, just, you know, it depends on the day. I just, you know, I just, you know, I get it. It's, this is a feeling.

Yeah, yeah, it is a feeling. But welcome to the showman. I've wanted to have you on for a while, not for anything professional, just because I'm a fan. I grew up watching romcoms. Like there was like a period in my life when romcoms were the best possible movie that you could watch in the cinema or at home. And then all of a sudden romcoms weren't cool. And then I had to act like I didn't like them. And then to all the boys came along. And then yourself and Lana, you took me back to a time that I forgot I enjoy it as much as I did. Laura Gina and Peter Kovinsky have this magic on camera, but I feel like yourself and

Lana have it off camera as well. You have this vibe about you as people. It's like, you know, because we live in an age now where back in the day, movie stars were movie stars and that was it. You don't see them otherwise. Whereas with movie stars of today, we today, we today, we today, we today, we today, we today, we today, we today, we today, today, today, today, today, today, today, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. thi, th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi. thi, thi. today, to today, to to today, to today, ttoday, ttoday, today, ttoday, today, thi. thi. thi. today, we get to touch you and feel you on social media. We get to see who you are when there's no movie taking place. When you look at your life and how it's changed, what do you think is the reason that people are so into you as an actor and as a person right now? Like, there's something that people are clearly gravitating towards. Hmm. I mean, it's a good question. I was th. I thiiiiii. I th. I th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thathea. thathea. tho tho thate. that. that. that. that. that. tho thi thi that. thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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. the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thoooooooooo. the. the. this literally like two days ago about the difference between being like in movies 50 years ago versus now is there's practically no barrier, you know, because

of social media. I don't know, I feel like I'm fairly eccentric and fairly quirky and fairly goofy in my own right. And I think because I kind of lean into social media without necessarily making it like a cash cow for myself or doing shoots so that I look a certain way. I kind of just have utilized social media as a tool to be like, this is who I am and what I'm doing today. I think I think that combined with you know doing a project and playing a role like Peter Kovinsky that I guess was relatable or hit a certain way, just kind of made for this storm where people went, oh yeah,

I want to continue to see whatever this person's doing. Is there a part of you that that is already sad at the fact that you will never get to be Peter Kovinski again? I mean, I I I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, just, just, just, th, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, th, just, just, th, just, th, just, just, th, just, just, just thi, just th, just, just, just, just th, just th th th th thi, just kind thi, just kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind th th th thi, just kind, just kind, just kind, just kind, just kind, just kind th, just th, just th, just th, just th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, ovinsky again. I mean, now this maybe you guys will do like an old-age home version of it, but for now it's done. If we do an old-age tel, I want Mark Rufflow to play older Peter Kovsky. That's why I want it. I can actually see it. It makes a strong return, reigning champion of romcoms. Um, bittersweet is like I guess the most generic way but accurate way to describe it. Right. Sad, no. I don't feel sadness about it. I feel I feel like it's resolved as far as the way that trilogies or series get to resolve, I think that, you know, I feel very good about the resolution. You know, I feel like I've given as much as I possibly can to Peter. And so I have, don't really have any regrets. I think this the thing I care about the most is that the the the fans the fans the fans the fans the fans the fans the fans the fans the fans the the the the the that the that that that that that that that that that th. that that th. that th. that that that that that that that that that that's thi.

the people that not just follow me, but you know, are that love the world so much. I hope that they feel fulfillment out of the third movie.

You're going to be starring in the diary directed by Jackie Chan, right? You're going to be starring alongside Dwayne the Rock Johnson in Black Adam. And then just, I think, like a few days ago, I saw online, they were like, yeah, Noah's going to be in the movie about the Game Stop shares, things things things thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, you're thi, you're thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th..... th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the movie about the game stop shares things that happen

My buddy Enzo is super in you know with with that whole situation he was right? Like three weeks ago, and so I immediately was like, well, I'm fucking in, like, I'm buying into these, like, I'll buy all of them. I'm like, we're watching it, and my manager comes over one day. And he's like, what are you guys talking about with it? And so we were like, blah, we just like, we're talking incestantly about it. And the next thing I know, boom, there's a whole project.
