Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Today is Monday, the 9th of November.

And the first day of the rest of our lives. It's the beginning of a new week and a new world. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. Why? Look at this. What's that? What? You go back to where you came from, you races. Anyway, coming up on tonight's show, the presidential race is over.

The presidential race is not over. And our guest today are Anthony Anderson and the legendary Ruby Bridges. 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. Ears Edition. Let's get straight into the big news over the weekend. Yeah, I finally learned how to dunk.

Boom. Turns out you just need to make the net a little closer to the ground. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Oh, and also, this happened. CNN projects Joseph R. Biden, Jr. is elected the 46th president of the United States. There was jubilence as people flooded the streets today, celebrating from the White House to the West Coast. Celebrations in the streets in New York City, the Tri-State, and across the world. On the streets of the largest cities, today, a party. In President Trump's hometown, New York City,

Biden supporters shouted out their windows. There were bands and champagne. Costumes and tears. An impromptu dance party broke out. We had Sweet Caroline, sing-alongs and nah-na-no-good-bye sing-alongs. Oh yeah, what a day, what a day, what a day now. People were out in the streets, dancing, they were partying. People were singing Sweet Caroline, which was genius because any celebration that singing Street Caroline isn't going to get broken up by the cops.

For real though, people, this was an amazing weekend. It was such a festive atmosphere. The Saturday was amazing, everyone was so happy. Even coronavirus was like, man, you guys have fun. No, I'm kidding in. But yes, that's right, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, th. th. th. thi. that's that's thi. that's thi. that's thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. 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. People, people. People, people. th. th. People, people. th. People, people. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th to to th to to th to to to the the the the the the the the the the the th th I'm taking the day of. Nah, I'm kidding. I'm joining in. Yum, yum, yum, yam. But yes, that's right, people. This weekend, Joseph Rihanna Biden was declared the 46th president of the United States. And I know it was tough waiting four days to get the final results, but it's actually cool that it happened on a a Tuesday, Wednesday, you just got to be at home, but now people could soak it in.

They heard the news while they were out with their families or going out for a walk or getting coffee. I mean, one guy even found out on the golf course. President Trump was not at the White House when he learned he'd lost it. He was gulfing in Virginia. Driven home, past his critics cheering. Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh you think about Trump, I think we can all agree that that is a terrible way to find out that you're fired. I mean, it's bad enough for your boss to tell you to clean out your desk, but can you imagine if on the way to your desk the entire office was lining the hallways to boo you? Yeah, get out of here, Jeffrey! Accounting is better without you, you b-au. the worst part for Trump, the the the their their their their. their. th. th. But, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. to to thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to clean. But, to to to to to to to clean. But, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to clean. But, to to clean. to th. th. t. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. tf. tf. tf. tf. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. for Trump was having to see Melania in that crowd. Boo, you suck, go away forever, don't come back. This is also really tough for the Secret Service, guys. Because they're trained to guard the President physically, but not emotionally. I mean, so they can't help him at all. I can protect you from a bullet, Mr. President, but only you can protect your feelings.

Oh, also, who's surprised that he he learned that he lost while he was golfing? Donald Trump is always golfing. That was the most likely option. If they said President Trump learned this while he was volunteering at an orphanage, then I'd be shocked. What does blow my mind is that Trump could keep playing golf after he got this news. You know, I actually wonder if his golf partner found out first and then used it against him, just as he was taking his swing,

Biden won! What? You know, a part of me actually wishes that Trump didn't hear about the election until he got home, because then he would have been driving past that crowd, going, look, that wasn political news was not about Donald Trump. So as he disappeared into the White House bunker, it was time for the people who were kicking him out to come

forward and take their boughs. I'll work as hard for those who didn't vote for me as those who did. Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now. Wow. I don't know about you guys, but after four years of having to listen to Trump, a normal presidential speech was... Was almost weird. I was listening to the speech like, wait, so we're not blaming anything on Hillary? Nothing? And let's be honest.

At this point, I bet even Trump's people want Biden to lower the temperature. I mean, mainly because half of them are running a fever from COVID. Still though, I'm sure that they were happy to hear Biden say, let's the grim demonization begin to end. Although I do like how Biden didn't say let's end it. He said let's begin to end it. You know like it'll be too dangerous to just stop demonizing all at once. We've got to stop being mean to each other in this country next week. But for now what the fuck is going on with Mitch McCartel's hands. You see that shit? Looks like he's thoony fingers. But the tr tru tru the the the the the the the th th th th th th thu thu thu thu-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-I thu-I thu-I thu-I thu-I th-I thi thi thi-I th-I to say to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to say to to to to say to to to to say to say to say to to say to say to say to say to to say to say to say to th th to say th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the theeeeeeeeeeee. theee. theeeee. theeee. theeeee. to to to to to? Looks like he's got baloney fingers. But the truth is,

Biden was calling for healing. And he was promising to work just as hard for the people who didn't vote for him as the people who did. And after these last few years, man, I think that's a nice sentiment. Although the try and cater to both? Because everyone is so far apart. I'm going to listen to Dr. Fauci,

and then, of course, I will behead him. And to reach across the aisle, I will find my son Hunter and lock him up. Am I a good president or what? The point is, people, it's genuinely going to take 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 be to be to to be to to be 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 listen to to to to be to be to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho., tho., thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooch., the the too. too. too. to speeches that sound like speeches. But otherwise, for Biden and Harris, it was a flawlessly choreographed evening. Well, except for one moment, when a confetti cannon went off, and based on the candidates' reactions,

it doesn't look like they were expecting it. I'm still in a way. Geez, that was terrifying. I don't know about you. But when I saw that, terrifying. I don't know about you. But when I saw that, the black part of me in the movie theater came out, I was like, Get out of there, Joe! The try to take you out!

Come on to get down! This is actually something I think we need to address as a planet, people. We have to stop celebrating with the time I'm like, whoa, did something good happen or shit going down? I don't need to be startled like this anymore, people, and neither does Joe Biden. Why are you blowing up things next to Joe Biden at this point? Joe Biden's campaign should be wrapping him in bubble wrap and storing him him in the attic until inauguration day. But with the 2020 campaign now over, we can see that in many ways, this election was America returning back to normal.

You know, America had a black president, then it had the opposite of a black president. And now, it's back to a regular white dude, you know, back to normal. Oh, except for one major advancement. For the first time in its history, America has elected a woman as vice president. A black woman who's also an Indian woman. And no matter what people think about Kamala Harris, her election is a major step forward in America's quest for gender and racial equality.

For more on this historic moment in time, we turn to our very own Dulce Sloan. Dulce, a black woman is in the White House. A black woman is in the White House! Ah! This is such great news, Trevor, especially after we've had 200 years of old white-ass vice presidents. They even looked the same. You had your knockoff Wolverines, you had your creepy dudes who would have driven white vans if they'd have been around back then. And in more recent years,

you had guys that look like the football coaches of the losing team. I mean, look at this guy. He looks like a photoshoppedor. Was he even real? Dulce, that's that's that's that's that's thine, that's Joe Biden. He was Obama's vice president. Really? That must be an old picture.

He looks like a baby. And speaking of which, having Kamala as his veep is great from Joe Biden too. She's smart, she's experienced, and as long as she's there, Republicans are never going to impeach him. He could straight up sell Florida. And the GOOP would be like, still can't risk that black lady being president, Florida was going to sink anyway. Honestly, don't say I'm still amazed that Joe Biden picked Kamala after that

debate where she totally blew him up. No, I understand that Trevor. Sometimes you get roasted so hard, you ain't even mad. You're just like, oh, anyone who's got a punch like that, I need on my side. Plus, Kamala brings balance to the administration. She's not Biden. She's in a more progressive lane, and she's able to drive down that lane without special glasses. You know what actually struck me, Dulcein, is that part of the speech where she said that her being vice president is a

powerful symbol for little girls in America, because they see themselves represented at the White House. Well, yeah, but people get too caught up in representation and symbolism sometimes, Trevor, and that's not enough. We don't just need a Kamala. We need policies that ensure a girl who looks like Kamala, but also lives in the hood also has a path to success. Just because I see someone who looks like me in a Hallmark movie doesn't mean I get a boyfriend for Christmas. Yeah you know what? That's a great point Dorset. There's still a lot of work to be done. There is and it's not going to be easy. I mean just dealing with the transition alone is going to be tough

for America because she's not replacing a white guy, she's replacing Mike Pence. This is like when your Spotify shuffle goes from Amy Grant to Cardi B. If you're not prepared for that, you're gonna swerve off the road. But in the meantime, let's just enjoy the moment and celebrate the history. Now, if you'll excuse me, they started line dancing outside my apartment again, and I need to go join. Thank you so much for that, Dulce. All right, when we come back, President Trump has graciously conceded the election to Joe Biden with dignity and class. Now, I'm just shitting you. He went bad shit crazy.

We'll tell you what he did after the break.

Welcome back to the daily social distancing show. It has now been three days since Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election. But even though many people are cheering for some Americans, it's still going to tak a little longer for this result to sink.............................. to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. the the th. th. the th. the th. the the the th. th. the th. the the the 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 the the th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thr. thr. tip. tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip re tip re. tip re. tip re. tip rea. tip. thr. the th election. But even though many people are cheering for some Americans, it's still gonna take a little longer for this result to sink in. That of President Trump remaining defiant and not conceding this race. Across the country, pro-Trump protesters, echoing the president's baseless claims that the election was stolen. He would have to do a lot to convince Republicans that this is anything except a left-wing power grab financed by people like George Soros.

We had computer glitches that changed Republican votes to Democrat votes. You look in Pennsylvania, dead people voted in Pennsylvania. There's a software called hammering scorecard used to flip votes from Trump to Biden. Is that indeed true? We've had hundreds of thousands of ballots mysteriously appear for, solely for Mr. Biden. to to to to to to to to to to to to to thiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, financed by th, financed by people thi, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by finance, financed by by by by by by by by by 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to Biden. Is that indeed true? We've had hundreds of thousands of ballots mysteriously appear for, solely for Mr. Biden. This is coup 5.0, Lou. Ooh, coup 5.0? Is that the coup with the front-facing camera? Oh, that's dope. I want to get one of those. Are these guys kidding us?

This was so bad shit, I caught coronavirus just listening to it. You're telling me that the crafty Democrats have used their satanic powers to steal the election? But for some reason they didn't steal the Senate? Because what? They were using the free version of satanic powers and taking the Senate as a premium feature? Like, when you think about this, America's whole system is rigged to help Donald Trump. The man lost by 4 million popular votes and still had a chance to win the electoral college. How does that make sense? The only person Donald Trump should be mad at is himself, because he started on third base

and still somehow lost the game. And look, I think everyone agrees that if there really is voter fraud. We wouldn't want that to decide the election. But guys, Donald Trump always says that that that that that that that thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoome, thi, thi, thoom-is, thoom-is, thoom-is, thoom. thoom. thoom, thoom, thoom, thoom, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th is th, th, th is th, th, th, th is th is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tho. tho. wouldn't want that to decide the election. But guys, Donald Trump always says that there's voter fraud. In 2016, he said it about every single primary that he lost. All right? And that he even said it was the reason that he lost the popular vote. It's never been true. And this is not just me saying it.

The courts have also been like, continue filing lawsuits, even though they don't appear to have any clear path to 270 electoral votes, and they've already faced a string of court losses so far as judges keep saying that these allegations are just not supported by evidence. If you get to the court of law, you've got to provide evidence. In the case that they brought in Michigan was summarily rejected by the judge. You said you don't have any evidence. It was based on a posted note.

I'm not kidding. On a posted note with an unsigned note saying they're telling me to change the addresses. Yeah. That's the difference between Fox News and courts. In court, they ask follow-up questions. Because you can go on Fox News all day screaming, Joe Biden stole the election! But in court, they ask, uh, how? Uh, I got a, I got a posted note?

Honestly, I wonder, does Trump have even one lawyer who knows the law? Because it feels like all the people he knows, he only knows them because they specialize in the criminal code that they've been charged with. I need someone who knows fraud. Jimmy, you did time for that thing, right? You're on the case, buddy. Just do what they did to you. Because seriously, a post-it note? Even if you want to get on Judge Judy for a property damage, you've got aft up?

Even if all you got is bullshit evidence, at least make it exciting bullshit evidence. Don't come at me with a, oh, I got a post-it note. Be like, well, if Joe Biden isn't stealing the election, then why do I have this used. to be the the the the that these guys are losing these cases with this kind of evidence. Because let me tell you something now. If you were in an episode of Law and Order with a Posted note, that would be the shortest episode ever.

So with the court's skeptical, the campaign had to take their argument directly to the people. And honestly, the case is dismissed. So with the court's skeptical, the campaign had to take their argument directly to the people. And honestly, it might have gone better if they'd chosen a slightly different venue. The Trump campaign held a press conference to challenge the election results at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Northeast Philadelphia. Some people suspect the campaign intended to reserve the Four Seasons Hotel, but accidentally

booked this landscaping company, located between a crematorium and a sex toy store. Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani was speaking when he was told the election had been called for Biden. What was it called by? All the networks! Wow! All the networks! No, guys, cover, how is this real? How is this real? How are you going to hold a press

conference at a landscaping warehouse between a crematorium and a sex toy store? I mean, as a general rule, if you're ever out declaring war, you don't want to do it 20 feet from a dildo? Although, I mean, in some ways it makes sense. Because if you ask people what's halfway between a pawn shop and a crematorium, they'd probably say Rudy Giuliani. And by the way, I have a feeling that Rudy Giuliani uses that sarcastic response a lot. I'm sorry. Who wants me to put my clothes back on? Everyone? Oh wow. single person in this Denny's wants me to put my clothes back on. Now, the campaign says that they did mean to have the press conference at this venue. And I hope that that's true. But it really just sounds like Trump's legal team accidentally booked the wrong four seasons.

And if that is the case that would be so sad. I mean do you know how incompetent you got to be to get catfished by a landscaping business? Also I love how the real four seasons tweeted that it has nothing to do with them because even hotel chains are trying to get away from Trump now. I bet Motel 6 was like, get out of the scumbugs. I also feel th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu-in, thu-in, thu-in, thu-in, thu-in, thu-o, thu-o, thu-o, thu-a, thr-o, their thr-a, thi, 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 th. th. the, the, thea, thea, thea, tha. thau. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tfoge, tm. thea. I also feel really bad for anyone who was inside that sex shop during that press conference, because imagine being in a sex shop and then seeing every camera in America pulling up next door. Now you've got to hide out in a Dildo store for six hours. And that's a long time to pretend to be browsing.

Yeah, so is this the edible underwear? Uh-huh. Is it gluten-free? Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, they're still outside? Okay. Do you do samples? So even though most of the world has accepted that Joe Biden will be the next president, Donald Trump is clearly planning to drag out this fight for weeks. And his people are behind him all the way. Well, almost all the way. Despite no proof to support allegations of widespread fraud or illegal voting in the United States, some of his top Republican allies backing the president's refusal to concede. At this point, we do not know who has prevailed in the election.

The media is desperately trying to get everyone to coronate Joe Biden as the next president, but that's not how it works. Trump has not lost. Do not concede, Mr. President, fight hard. President Trump is 100% within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his legal options.

Privately, people believe that it is time for the president to concede the election. It is true that Jared Kushner has approached the president to concede the election. It is true that Jared Kushner has approached the president of conceding the election, and then my colleague reported that the first lady has also talked to the president about accepting the fact that he has lost this election to Joe Biden. Basically, they're all own hustle at the same time.

Donald, you have to concede. Pennsylvania's is Biden one, and they also said our marriage isn't valid. I know it's the decision that people have spoken. And as for Jared's schooling Trump, imagine being told to grow up by a guy who's never gone through puberty. That's gotta hurt. It's also not great for Jared either, because this is just yet another impossible job Trump has given him to do. All right, Jared. It's your job to convince me to concede the election. Okay, sir, it's time to concede. Eat shit, you creepy mannequin. Catch me if you can. Ah! So, maybe Trump will decide to concede eventually. Oh, hey, maybe he won't. That actually doesn't really matter either way

because it's not really his decision to make. Joe Biden is going to become president on January 20th, and Trump's opinion about that counts for exactly one vote, same as any other vote in America. And I know it's hard to believe, but after all this time, it looks like reality has finally caught up with Donald Trump. All right, we're going to take a quick break, but when we come back, I'll be talking to the civil rights legend, Ruby Bridges,

about what it was like to be the first black student at an all-white school. Don't go away. Welcome back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back 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 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 their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I their their their their their their their the the the the.a.a. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. I th away. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. So earlier today, I had the honor of speaking with the legendary civil rights icon, Ruby Bridges. Ruby made history 60 years ago when at age six, she was the first black student to integrate in an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. We talked about her life story and her new book inspired by young activists who are continuing the fight for racial justice. Ruby Bridges, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Thank you so much for having me.

It's truly an honor to have you because you are one of those people who doesn't seem real in life. You started your life as a young black girl in a place where black children could not go to a school that had white kids in it. And you talk about this in your new book, which is really, really beautiful and enlightening. But what was it like being a child in a school,

with white teacher didn't want to be with you, white parents didn't want you in the school, and yet a white teacher was the one you talk about so affectionately who came in and said, I'm going to teach Ruby Bridges everything she needs to learn in a school and deserves to learn in a school. And being six years old, I had no idea what to expect to the're going to go to a new school and you better behave. And that was really the extent of preparing me for what I saw. But living in New Orleans, I was accustomed to Midegra, you know, and they were screaming and throwing things and waving their hands and that's what happens at Midegras. So, you know, what really protected me was the innocence of a child. I really didn't understand what was happening until th. I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was the the the the the the th. I was the the th. I was the th. I was the th. I was the the th. I was to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, you, you, you, you 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 their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, te.e. I was tell, their their tell.e. tell, their their te. the. th got into the school and months into it. You know, finally, you know, was able to connect with some students that were being hidden from me.

Right. A little boy said, I can't play with you. My mom said not to play with you because you're a nigger. And so I started thinking even right then that, well, if my mom said, hey, don't play with him because he's Asian, he's Indian, he's mixed race, he's gay, he's, you know, white, I would not have played with him. So in my mind, he was explaining to me why he couldn't play with me. So he did hurt my feelings, but I was never angry with him. And the fact that every day, the person that greeted me was a white woman who looked exactly like the crowd outside. I came to realize that she looked like them, but she wasn't like them. She showed me her heart. She made school fun. I loved being at school. I knew that if I just got out of the car,

past the crowd and inside of my classroom, I was going to have a great day. And so really, because of her showing me her heart, I knew that I couldn't judge her the same way as the people outside. So I always tell people that the lesson she really taught me was that there's absolutely no way you can look at a person and judge them by the color of their their their their their their their their their their.... their. So. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. Soe. So. So. So. So. I. So, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. their, their, their, their. So. So. So. So. I. I. I. I. I. I. I, their, their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. t of their skin. She taught me the lesson that Dr. King tried to teach all of us. That you have to judge a person by the content of their character. So that was the most important lesson that I took away and I wanted to dedicate myself to try and to that to kids so that they know that racism has no place in their hearts and in their minds. And you know, Traveler, if we're going to get past our racial differences, it's going to come from our kids.

It really does seem like America needs that more than ever, especially right now. America is more divided than in some ways it's ever been in the modern era. It feels like there is no end to that despite the election ending. Why did you choose to release the book now? What are you hoping to achieve? I saw exactly what everybody else saw. The mone being murdered right before our very eyes. And it made me think about the kids that I've been speaking to for the last 25 years, trying to convince them that we need to come together,

that racism doesn't have a place, and yet this was happening. And I felt like, in a sense, I'd let them down. Maybe I led them down the wrong path, because look what's happening. And I felt like I needed to be able to talk with them because they're probably sitting there thinking, well this isn't what Ruby has been saying to us. And so I have some very good people you know that are very close to me and I spoke to them about it and they said why don't you write a letter to them. And that's actually what this book is. It is my my my thler thler th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the the the 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, the, theat, theat, theat, theat, theat, theat, theat, theat, th book is. It is my letter to young people. The young people that I saw you know take to the streets to let them know that what I saw what I witnessed was the

exact same behavior that I saw when I was six back in 1960 during the Civil Rights movement but you know we went through that we had to go through that and it brought us to where we are 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 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. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. te. te. te. toda. their. And. And. And. And. And their. And. And their their their their their their the back in 1960 during the Civil Rights Movement, but you know we went through that, we had to go through that, and it brought us to where we are today. And that now it was their turn. That they need not be afraid, that it is growing pains, and I do believe that if they come together, because that past, the past 60 years brought us together. Right. Right. You know, we're able to be in school together, we play sports together, we enjoy the same music, it brought us together.

Not as close as we need to be, but it's on them now. To pick up the torch, to carry it and to continue to do what they do, to move 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, the, tho, tho, thoes, the, the move this country forward. And so that's what this book is about. When you look at the state of schooling today in America, you know, the legacy of segregation lives on, although it's not officially mandated by the state, what do you think needs to be done to try and create a system in America where schooling is equal and kids are able to interact with each other in these environments where they should meet with each other before they become full-blown adults and then meet their first person of color or white person for the first time. The very school that I integrated, school that we're talking about, you know, it was hit by Hurricane Katrina and then restored. It's a $30 million school in an inner city neighborhood. I fought very, very hard to restore that school. I wanted it to be an

integrated school. It is segregated. It is all black. It totally goes against my work and what I believe in. I was told that, you know, policies that we can't choose kids by race and put them in a school. In other words, we can't integrate a school. And I looked at them and I said, are you talking to me? You're telling me that you can't integrate the school? Yes, you can. I did it. And we can do it again. But we have to want that, we have to understand how important that is for us to move this country forward. And so we have to, we have to, we have to, we have to, we have to, we have to, we have to, we have to, we have to, we have to to to the the the the their thue, we have thue, we have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, threathea, tomorrow, tomorrow, together, together, together, tooea.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. Wea. tomorrow, together, thea, the for us to move this country forward. And so we have to, if they don't know how to do it,

then go back to 1960, pick up the rule book, you know, look at it and figure it out, but we need to do it again. Ruby Bridges, thank you so much. Thank you so much. And thank you for an amazing book that is truly powerful in so many different ways. Thank you. I'll make sure I'll send you a copy. Thank you very much.

All right, stick around because up next, I'll be talking to the star of Blackish, Anthony Anderson. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the daily social distancing show, Anthony Anderson. We talked about what it's like filming his show Blackish and why he put his colonoscopy on Instagram. Anthony Anderson, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Glad to be here. Be a Skype. This beard man. This is

beautiful. Thank you. It's luscious. It looks like you've got my Afro but on your chin. You know it's crazy. I was just going for a different look at the end of last season anyway. I planned on growing my beard and not shaving it when I came back to work. And then COVID happened and it just became a COVID beard. I trimmed it down just a little bit because it was a little crazy. But I just wanted to see how full it could get.

And then, so here we are. You know, I know as Anthony Anderson, you've been that guy that we've seen doing so many things for so long.

Just to be able to tell these stories that we all have lived in our living within our

community and society, man. And so to have people just walk up to me on the street from all walks of life, all ethnic.. And to... And their.. And to.. And their. And to. And their. And their.

So, yeah, so we, we great deal with respect to that. To see your name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,

like a few blocks away from your high school, do you find excuses to be like, yeah, I think this is the quickest way, we gotta, we gotta drive past my star real quick. We gotta, I'm literally right there at the corner of Highland and Hollywood, across the street from Hollywood High, where I graduated, and where I walked those streets, many a day and night as a youth, never thinking in a thousand years would I be immortalized on the Walk of Fame. So you know, that's how full circle of a moment that that was for me. But yeah, I find myself driving down Hollywood and Highland quite often.

Hopefully getting stopped at the red light on the corner so I could scream out the window. Hey! Hey, get off my star! Suck off! Before I let you go, Anthony.

When I saw this, I was like, Anthony Anderson is not 50. I was like, when was he 45?

When was he 43? How are you 50? And on top of that, like, you seem to have an amazing party, even though it was socially distant. You look like you just made the best of the day. You know, we had a drive by, 50th celebration at our home. Yeah, I may not look 50, you know, black don't crack, but it chips a little bit and it rocks from the inside out. All right, Trevor, I'm gonna tell you that right now.

But we had a great time. We had a great time. Oh, and while we're on it, since I'm 50, can we talk about me getting a colonoscopy a few weeks ago? No, you did, yeah, but you didn't just get a colonoscopy. You did it on Instagram. I follow you on Instagram because I want to see you go into like a beach on an exotic island. And then you took me to a colonoscopy, Anthony Anderson, why would you do that? Well, you know what, I did that because we men and men of color, you know, we need to do that. And so I wanted to take my followers on a journey.

We've lost some great people recently. Right. Right. Because of colon cancer, prostate cancer, and all of that. So I wanted to take the stigma off of that and have a little fun with it and show them that it's not a big deal to go and get this checked out because it's better to get it checked out and know for fact and just to live in mystery and hope that you know it doesn't catch you or you it doesn't pull your

number. So hopefully I did that and I just wanted to share that experience, you know to let men know that it's okay, it's painless, you know. They give you that prop that prop that prop that prop pro that prop prop prop prop that prop prop prop that prop that prop that prop that prop that prop that prop that prop that pro that pro their their their their to share that experience, you know, to let men know that it's okay, it's painless, you know, they give you that propofol, it's the best nap of your life, and you're all the better. Yeah, man, I appreciate you. I loved why you did it, and I'm glad that you don't have to do colonoscopies more than once a year. So I know you're working right now so thank you for to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to the to to the to the to the to do. th. th. their. th. thi. thi. thi. their. to be their. their. th. thoe. their. their. tha. tha. tha. 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. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. t. tape. tapea. tapea. tapea.
