Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Really? 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.
Starting point is 00:00:34 March 9, 2020. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Wow, this is great. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Take a seat, everybody. Let's do this thing out of Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is an author and an activist whose new book is called Hood Feminism. Mickey Kendall is going to be joining us everyone. Also on tonight's show, Joe Biden makes a surprising friend. Djibouki Young White tells us how to stop Corona and Donald Trump might actually be a genius.
Starting point is 00:01:32 So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with the democratic primary race. Or as I like to call it, too old, too furious. It's down to Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. And tomorrow could be the day we find out who's going all the way. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders are both in Michigan today ahead of tomorrow's Democratic presidential contest. Six states will hold votes for 352 delegates. Of those, Michigan is the big prize. It has the most delegates 125 of them.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Sanders has held half a dozen events in Michigan since Friday. He's hoping this is where he can block Biden's momentum. On Sunday, Biden earned yet another endorsement from a former opponent. This time, Senator Kamala Harris. I have decided that I am with great enthusiasm going to endorse Joe Biden for President of the United States. I believe in Joe. I really believe in him and I have known him for a long time. Now please send $10,000 in unmarked bills so that my family can see me again.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I'm very happy to be here. I don't understand why Kamala Harris shot this hostage style video to show her support for Joe Biden. It looks weird. It really does. I bet even the Taliban is looking at this video like, even the Taliban. we have had better lighting and we were in a cave. Much better, much better. Also it's a little strange. I'm not going to gonna endorse Joe Biden and not acknowledge that she once called him a friend of racists who opposed integrated public schools?
Starting point is 00:03:10 Like, for me, you have to at least say, look, I know we've had our differences, but, or something like that. Otherwise, you make it seem like we're crazy. It's like you're gaslighting her. Just like I've known him for a long time, He's great, and during the debates, oh, that was different. This is like when you were a kid, do you ever sleep over at a friend's house? And then you could hear their parents screaming at each other in the next room, and then they'd come out like, hey, you guys want pizza for dinner?
Starting point is 00:03:34 And you're like, are we not going to acknowledge international news, because while America only has to worry about one presidential inauguration next year, over in Afghanistan, they're dealing with two. In Afghanistan, two different politicians who both claim to have won the presidential election election are staging their inauguration ceremonies. Ashrafghani, the first to be sworn in his president, since 2014, and the country's election commission say he won a second term in September last year. We are hearing Mr. Ghani has made his inaugural speech. When that happened
Starting point is 00:04:13 several explosions happen nearby and we've just had the footage through have a listen. Okay, I don't know what's crazy. I don't know what's crazy. That two people say that the president or that while this guy is giving his speech. Explosions are shaking the building. Okay, I don't know what's crazier. That two people say that the president, or that while this guy is giving his speech, explosions are shaking the building, and he just keeps on going? And it's like, as I was saying, I'm very happy to be a president.
Starting point is 00:04:57 So now Afghanistan is in a sticky situation, because two people are claiming to be the president. Yeah, no one knows what to do. If you ask me, we should just get Mori over there to solve this whole thing. Yeah, just be like, you are not the leader. Oh! Although at the same time, why, why do we fix this? It's not the worst idea to have two presidents. We've never thought of it, maybe you know, you should have, like, presents should have day shift and night shift. Maybe that could be a new thing. Yeah, it could be easier for the presents because then they
Starting point is 00:05:26 could avoid the blame for bad news. People would be like, Mr. President, the people are starving. It's just like, oh, look, I just clocked in. I, uh, yeah, yeah, that sounds like a night shift problem, sorry. All right, and finally, as you know, as th, as th, as th, as th, as th, as th, as th, as th, as the th, as the the the th, as the the the the the the th. th. th, as the th. th. th. th. th. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. People, th. People the, the. thean. thean. thean. thean. theanananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan. thean. People the.'s the day when all the clocks leave the microwave clock behind. And daylight savings has already had its critics, but now it looks like people in power have also had enough. Florida Senator Marco Rubio is calling for people to reach out to their representatives and senators and ask them to lock the clock and support his bill to make daylight saving time permanent. It's time to go permanent daylight savings and end this once once once once the the the the the th. the the th. 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 thoeaugheaugheaughaughaughaughaugh. tooen. their to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their. to to to their to to to to to to their. to to their their their their their their their. I. I. I. I's their their their their their their their their their their their their their the. the. the. the. theateateatease. the the the the the the the the the the time to go permanent daylight savings and end this once and for all. We have a bill to do that.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Let's see if we can get it done this year. This is stupid. Remember, call your member of Congress, your senator, and tell them to stop this changing of the time and lock the clock. Okay, why do all American senators shoot selfies like hostage videos? What is this? What's going on? Dark halls, bare walls, weird lighting. I'm starting to think the coronavirus might be worse than they're telling us.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And every senator is already in a fallout shelter. You know, like Rubio was just faking us out with this video. Yeah, daylight savings. Am I right, guys? Let my family in, then seal the doors I mean we are we really gonna turn back the clock just shoot them shoot them We don't have enough grain anyway guys And another thing why is senator Marco Rubio telling us to call senators like bitch you work there tell them yourself You got corona in this street you got shit to deal with Can you call my job?
Starting point is 00:07:07 No! It's actually crazy that senators even have the power to change what time it is. Because they can just vote and then time goes back an hour. It's a good thing I'm not a senator, because I would be proposing these bills every day. I always want to change time. Five times a day. I'd be on Instagram like, hey guys, the Apple Genius bar says they can't see me until 3 p.m. Please call your senators. I need to get my phone fixed. I'm gonna be like, Trevor, you up next? Thanks guys, you guys, you guys are
Starting point is 00:07:33 gray. All right, that's it's up for the headlines. Let's move on a global pandemic. It's also everybody's new excuse for canceling plans. Which reminds me, Dave, I can't go to your birthday party. I might have coronavirus and I also find you very annoying. But the question remains, how serious is this viral threat going to get? Well, let's check in on the latest developments in our ongoing segment. Is this how we die? Outside of China, one of the country's hardest hit by the coronavirus, has been Italy. Corona cases there seem to be doubling overnight.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Outside of China, one of the country's hardest hit by the coronavirus. the thi thi thi to be doubling overnight. And it's gotten so bad that at the Sistine Chapel, God is now refusing to touch man. And as for the government of Italy, they've just decided to shut it all down. All of Italy is going on lockdown. Tonight, the Prime Minister announcing drastic new measures, just a short time ago, essentially telling everyone in his country to stay home.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Prime Minister Giusesepani announcing tonight severe restrictions on the entire nation of around 60 million people. From tomorrow morning, all sporting events are off, including soccer. The general public should only go to work and work from home if possible. In a Rome suburb, the faithful celebrated mass outdoors. Notice the distance between them, adhering to government advice that members of the public should stay three feet away from one another. Yeah, that's right folks. Thanks to Corona, Italy is completely locked down. No soccer matches, no cinema, even church has changed because worshippers don't want to get too close.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And it's going to be hard to take communion seriously when the priest has to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the priest has to toee. the priest has toe. the priest has the priest has toe. the priest has the the the toe. the toe. the toe. 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the.e.e.e. th. the.eau.eau.eau.eau.eau.eau.eau.eaughe.e. their, the the the the the the the to get too close. And it's going to be hard to take communion seriously when the priest has to throw wafers into people's mouths from across the room. Can you imagine that? Just going to be like, the body of Christ, from downtown! But it's not just Europe. Coronavirus is also wrecking havoc here in the US. And it's becoming clear that no one is safe. Back here in this country two members of Congress are putting themselves under
Starting point is 00:09:49 quarantine because a man attending a large gathering of Republicans tested positive for the coronavirus. Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Paul Gozer say they had contact with the man at last month's event known as CPAC. Two additional Republican congressman will undergo self-quarantine. Matt Gates and Doug Collins joined Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz released in a statement saying everyone should continue to treat this outbreak seriously and be driven by facts and medical science. Yeah, because coronavirus was at CPAC, four Republican lawmakers are now quarantined and
Starting point is 00:10:24 can have no human contact. And Ted Cruz was like, what's human contact? Now what's really concerning is that if it turns out multiple people in Congress have had corona contact, they might have to send all of Congress home, which would be a disaster because if there's no one in Congress, then who would be left to not pass any laws? And look, with coronavirus sped across the country, I know a lot of people are scared right now, but there is no need to fear, my friends, because you see, the stable genius in chief is on the case, and he's going to do everything he can to help all of us this thing.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Unless you're already sick, then you're on your own. This morning, 3,500 people on the Grand Princess cruise ship will disembark in Oakland, California. Of the just 45 people tested, 21 have confirmed cases. All guests will remain in isolation for 14 days. Political reports that Penson Health Department officials reasoned that quickly removing passengers was the safest outcome. But the president, he had a very different idea. They would like to have the people come off.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I'd rather have the people stay, but I'd go with them. I told them to make the final decision. I would rather, because I like the numbers being where they are. I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship. That was it our fault. You know, one thing I appreciate about Trump is that even if he does the right thing, he still tells us that he wanted to do the wrong thing. It's like, everyone tel me to save those people on the boat, but if it was up to me, I'd let those bastards die.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Just give me one fire arrow, and I'll solve the boat problem. Viking style, boom, Corona's Valhalla's problem now. What's fascinating about Trump is that even as he bumbles his way through the Corona response, he thinks that he's doing an amazing job. I like this stuff. You know, my uncle was a great person. He was at MIT, he taught at MIT for, I think, like a record number of years. He was a great super genius, Dr. John Trump. I like this stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I really get it. People are surprised, I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, how do you know so much about this? Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president. Yeah, yeah, maybe you should have done a lot of things other than running for presidents. But this is where we are now. And I'll be honest, even if Trump had some other job, I still think he'd find a way to somehow ruin things. Like, even if he was a mailman, he'd still screw things up.
Starting point is 00:13:00 thinn, I've got your corona vaccine, but I ran over it with my truck. If you suck on the cardboard, you should be fine. And by the way, I'm not sure that Trump has a natural ability for science, especially considering that he thinks scientific knowledge can be passed down through his uncle. Trump doesn't have a natural ability, he doesn't have a natural anything.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I mean, that's why we can all see his tan wiping off on his collar. There's nothing natural about this man. Yeah, that's not a normal thing. Look man, clearly Trump is not a natural expert at this. Because he said the vaccine could be ready in a few months, it can't. A couple weeks ago, he said the number of cases would quickly go down to zero. It has been the opposite. He even said that you can't spread the disease if you sneeze with your eyes open.
Starting point is 00:13:52 It's the-chie. It doesn't help. And look, Trump can't afford to be misinformed about Corona. Not just because, as an older man, who's not in great shape and spends his time touching strangers, he's definitely at risk. If Trump is not careful, he could get sick. He could be incapacitated. Or worst of all, he could be trapped in quarantine with Ted Cruz. We'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes.
Starting point is 00:14:32 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 on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. Welcome back to the game trip. As the coronavirus continues to spread, it's time for us to face the uncomfortable truth
Starting point is 00:15:05 that we're all going to come in contact with it at some point. It's everywhere. Europe has it, Africa has it, America has it. The only person who doesn't have it is that guy in the bunker and parasites. But he's got other problems. Now, if you're in a sparsely populated area, you might be okay, but one of the worst things you can do right right right be in any kind of cramped space where people are packed tightly together like a like a live studio audience for a late night show those people are screwed but not you guys you guys are cool you guys are fine and it's even worse if you're in a city like New York which is basically one big studio audience the good news is though, the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, is taking action.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency in New York as dozens of new cases of coronavirus are determined each day with testing happening around the clock. Contain, contain, caint, get a lead, chase it down, find a positive quarantine. Governor Andrew Cuomo, sounding the alarm against riding the subways if you're sick. If you see a packed train car, let it go by, wait for the next train. Yes, to minimize your risk in New York City, you should wait for a less crowded train.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And we actually have a live image of someone who's still waiting for a less crowded train. And we actually have a live image of someone who's still waiting for a less crowded train. I'll miss you. I miss you Granddad. Let me give you a tip about New York. There are no less crowded trains. And if there is an empty car on the train, whatever's in there is worse than Corona. Okay? Who's this thing is an empty train? Even coronavirus would be like, ah, if I were you out to wait for the next one, yeah, just wait like me. I'm going, I'm waiting for the next one. Now, although the governor gave some unhelpful advice, he does have a plan to help
Starting point is 00:17:03 ensure that there's plenty of hand sanitizer for the residents of New York. We are introducing New York State Clean hand sanitizer made conveniently by the state of New York. This is a superior product to products now on the market. This is 75% alcohol. It has a very nice floral bouquet. I detected lilac, hydrangea, tulips. What does it smell like to you? No! Why are you putting your hands in someone else's face? That's the first rule of coronavirus! What do you do? Like Cuomo's the kind of guy who would open the door to prove the zombies are gone.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I swear I don't hear them. Let me check. But look, I will say, a state making its own hand sanitizer, to give people free hand sanitizer, is a great idea. I love this. Although I don't know why Cuomo is trying to sell us on the great smell. Right, there's coronavirus. I'm buying the hand sanitizer. I'm taking it.
Starting point is 00:18:14 You don't have to sell me on the free. Imagine if the captain of the Titanic was like, they smell like fresh baked cookies. Also, they come in a really fun shade of yellow, just in time for spring. It's like, my man, you head me and we're sinking. I'm in, I'm in. I'm in. Now, while we're waiting on governments to figure out a solution to Corona, the World Health Organization keeps reminding us that there is a lot that us individuals can do to prevent the spread spread this disease. So, for more on this information, we're joined by our senior health expert,
Starting point is 00:18:46 Djibouki Young White, everybody. It's really scary, and everyone wants to know. What are some of the things that people can do themselves about the coronavirus? Okay, so first of all, Trevor, there is no need to panic, all right? Except for old people. You guys are screwed. There is no need to panic, all right? Except for old people. You guys are screwed. You guys, I'm not old.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Okay, well, we'll let Corona be the judge of that. Okay, well, anyway, Jabuki, I asked you to help us find the best hygiene practices sanctioned by the World Health Organization. What is your research shown? Yeah, okay. So, I read this really interesting tweet. A twee. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, you thi, you thi, you, you, you thi, you th, you th, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi- thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thi, thi, Yeah, okay. So I read this really interesting tweet. A tweet? Yeah. I read this tweet, thread, which is basically a book.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah. Okay. And I learned that we need to stop shaking hands. You know, why do we even do that in the first place? Like seriously? Seriously, whose idea was it for us to be like, hey, you know those things that we used to wipe our butts? Let's rub them together. Mm, booty fingers. So, what's your first tip?
Starting point is 00:19:53 Okay, so my first tip, if you are still shaking hands with people, stop it. tho, right people, stop it. Right now, stop that, you dirty bitch. I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you about shaking hands. It's actually why I've been using the elbow, that way you don't even touch hands with people. Elbow's! Mmm, Trevor, you're using your elbow? How do you cough? What, what? That's basically like eating someone's ass.
Starting point is 00:20:27 What do you mean? How do I cough? Why is that bad? No, just show, like what do you do when you cough? What do you do when you cough? When I cough, I cough into my elbow and then I toub's to somebody's... Exactly. You're coughing directly into someone's ass. Elbows are not as clean as people think. As someone who takes a lot of showers with people, I can tell you, no one ever washes their elbow. Okay, fine, so Djibouki, then what's the best way to greet people?
Starting point is 00:20:57 Okay, so what I recommend is you put your hand over your heart like so, and then you bow. Oh, that's easy. That's easy. So just like, like this? Yeah, just like a little bit lower. Oh, like this? Yeah. Well, you want to go low enough to kiss your old-ass, goodbye, old man.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Because the Rona is coming for each other. God damn you, Chibuki, Young White, I'm not old. I'm not old. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm th. 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.
Starting point is 00:21:44 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 Show. My guest tonight is a writer and an activist who offers a critique of mainstream feminism in her new book, Hood Feminism, Notes from the Women that a Movement forgot. Please welcome, Mickey Kendall. Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you for having me. Thank you for writing what is one of the most interesting show. Welcome to the Daily Show.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Thank you for having me. Thank you for writing what is one of the most interesting books I've read on feminism in a very long time. Hood feminism is a really interesting title because some people might be like, is there a different type of feminism in the hood that we don't know about? I think that there is. I would argue that feminism in the hood is really about survival and less about becoming CEO and more about becoming, you know, a person who can afford to keep your house, stay home for two weeks during coronavirus and generally feed your kids through that process.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Right, it's interesting that you say that because many people have said that the term feminism itself is starting to lose its, I guess it's power because everyone has a different definition of what it means. You know, some have accused certain waves of the feminist movement of leaving black women behind. Some people have said that feminism itself, mainstream feminism doesn't think about, all of the additional factors facing certain people. What do you think needs to improve? What is hood feminism if you think about applying it to everybody? I think about it this way. If we made sure that everyone who is currently on the margin, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to everybody. I think about it this way. If we made sure that everyone who is currently on the margins is centered in our work and we make sure that they've got housing, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, right? Housing, food,
Starting point is 00:23:30 health care, we make sure that people have access to education and opportunity. It's a better world for everyone, right? So be criminals. We want to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. Make sure people can stay home for two weeks and be paid a living wage and be able to access groceries and medical care and all of these things. Like every answer basically boils down to if we're going to do feminism for all women, we have to make sure that the poorest women have everything they need to survive. You can't fight for your rights if you can't thar. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to to to to to their. to to to their. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. 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 their their tea. tea. tea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. toe. toea. toea. toe. toe. that you bring that up in the book in a completely different way, because you talk about it from a personal perspective. You know, you talk about it as it affects people today. How did your life define how you think about feminism?
Starting point is 00:24:17 So I was raised by my grandmother, and I was one of those kids who we would now casually say was at risk, right? And it was fine. I didn't go to jail or any of those things, but I married a guy who was not great. And then I got a divorce. And one of the fun things about getting a divorce when you've left an abusive relationship and you don't have any money as a single parent, is that you find out really quick
Starting point is 00:24:37 whether or not you have a safety death. So I lived the the the the th I I I I I I I I lived I I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived I lived th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th that. that. that. th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the 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 that. that. that. that. that. thi. thi. thi. the the 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 th projects. I went to college. I'm a US vet. So I went to college while living in the projects and raising my son. My ex-husband didn't pay child support, yada, yada, so there was food stamps and Medicaid and all of those things. I was one of those people we always see talked about as someone who's siphon, the system. Except I had paid into the system, and I promise you I pay more in taxes now than I ever got. That's a great, I mean that's a great success story. It's wonderful that you came from that place to this place, but it's also interesting
Starting point is 00:25:12 that you don't stop looking back and going like, I'm lucky. Because I, here's the thing. If you say, well, I made it out, it's just me. Everybody else has to make it too. You sort of ignore the people, A, who helped you make it out. And B, you just keep the problem going. There is always another girl like me. There is always another parent like there. There's always another person who is struggling. And we honestly do ourselves no favors when we don't take care of people who need a hand up.
Starting point is 00:25:39 And it really is. We love a bootststrap th. thrap- thrap- th, th, thrap-s, thrap-s, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thr-s, their, their, their, thr-s, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to to to to to their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their their their their their their their their their their their, you their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thr-s, thr-s, to to to to keep, to to keep, to to keep, to to keep, their, their, thestraps are stupid. No one can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. That's never happened. I want you to grab your shoelace and try and pull yourself up. And then breaking your shoelace, you get nowhere. So what people do get help from, right? Is lift as we climb.

But as you move forward and bring people with you, everything gets better. How does this apply specifically to feminism though? Because someone might read this book and say, well, Mickey, everything you're saying
Starting point is 00:26:14 here just seems like a progressive platform, you know, health care and job, and and job opportunities and paid maternity leave, th..... and th and th and th and th and th and th and, th and, th and, th and, th 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, th and, and, and, and, thi, th.

Why do you think we have to think of those policies or ideas specifically through a feminist lens? Because if we're going to write policy, that says, if we're going to look at a movement that says it's for all women, but that movement's work only focuses on a particular group of women and ignores everyone else. Well, fun fact, you may have noticed that this last election cycle, we had a 53% number because we hadn't talked about race and class and women, right? White women will vote based on race more than they
Starting point is 00:26:52 will vote based on gender. Shout out to Elizabeth Warren who just learned that lesson. So therefore, when we talk about women and we talk about women, wea to tell the women, and issues that affect th. their th.. their th. th. the the th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the, thi, their, their, thi, 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 thi. the, the. the. thea. thea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toe. thea. thea. thea. thea, the. the we have to talk about all women. And issues that affect all women, not just issues that affect some women should be the focus. I'm never going to be a CEO. Well, I guess I could be. I really try. I can do anything. I can do anything.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I can do anything. I can do anything. I like how to try I put my mind to it. But I do also recognize there's what, 100 or 300 women CEOs in America at a given point, right? How many CEOs do we need versus how many nurses, teachers, doctors, moms, all of these things? So do you think then, you know, because when I read through the book, what was interesting as an argument in an idea was that a lot of feminism seems to have been focused around like powerful positions only.
Starting point is 00:27:46 You know, people have gone like, we need more women CEOs, we need more women in the teos, we need more women in power, we need more women in ruling and doing this, which we do need, but in addition to that, you argue that many waves of feminism have left out just women in general and what they need to just survive. Yes, because when we look at the world, th., th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, in, in, in, in, in the, and, and, and, in th, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, th, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, 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, the the the the the the, the, the, the. thean, thean, thean, the. the. thean, the. the. We, the. We, the th survive. Yes, because when we look at the world, right, most women were 51% of the world's population, or around that percentage for the US. How many are the 99% and how many are the 1%? How many women are going to be living at or below the poverty line? Even if you're quote unquote, mental class and you're making, let's say, $50,000 a year. I think 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, I th, I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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 th, the th, th, th, the th, the th, and th, and th, and thi, and thi, and thr. thr. thr. throwneeou. theou'eou'eou'eou'er, theou'er, theou'er, theou'er, theou'er, $50,000 a year, I think the latest round of math for New York is that a living wage in New York is something like $100,000 a
Starting point is 00:28:28 year between $80,000 and 100. So you're still low income in New York, even if you're not low income in Kansas or whatever. Relatively, relatively, right. So if you're looking at these things and you're saying, well, I don't know how you're supposed to be to be to be and blah, blah, blah, but that woman is going to be CEO, so maybe she'll fix it. But she's still paying her employees $15 an hour or less. Did the woman in power help anyone or did she just get some power? So feminism has to look at the women who have power and also with the women who need to be able to survive, because if we the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, the women, to, the women, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to be, to, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to be, to, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the the the the the their, their, their, their toe, their toe, is toe, is woomkkkwoe, is woomorrow, is woomorrow, is woomorrow, is woomorrow, is toe, is toe, is toe, to want all women to do better, if we want a movement that is for all women, we need to meet the needs of every woman as best as we can. It's a powerful statement that makes sense, which means a lot of people are going to hate
