You're listening to Comedy Central now. What's up? I am machine gun Kelly, and look, I know Halloween is going to suck this year because there's no trick or treating and all that, but I've got a treat. There's a musical podcast that I made with my friends. Twenty four K Golden NDR and Dana Danta and say. Well, Satan is not my friend, but Tommy Lee is, and Tommy Lee is playing Satan, but don't just take it from me.

Tell him Satan. Thanks, dude. It feels great to be playing Satan on this podcast. Listen to Halloween in hell on Iroha Radiolab app podcast or whatever you get your podcasts on.

Babe, guess what? What dead as the podcast's is back for a season for all of us was on Devaux and I'm kidding. And we're the ELLISS and we're the host of D'états and I Heart radio podcast. Join us in conversation with guests like Shanking, Shambu Drame, Melanie Fiona, Joe Biden and more. Listen to D'états on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts that ask. Hey, everybody, welcome to The Daily Social Distancing Show.

I'm Trevor Noah. Today is Wednesday, the twenty first of October, which means if you live in West Virginia, in-person voting started for you today. So go out there and vote early people, because remember, the closer we get to Election Day, the more expensive the candidates will become, which means if you wait until November to vote, you may not be able to afford the can.

No, sorry, I'm thinking of airline tickets, sorry, my bad anyway, coming up on tonight's show. The government starts a war with Google. Democrats on the cusp of a blue wave. And Chris Rock joins us on the show to talk about his standout role on the new season of Fargo. 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 Decency Show with children, all ears.

Let's kick things off with Google, the search engine that's constantly trying to finish your.

No, no, no. Your sentence's. Its dominance has raised concerns in the Justice Department for years and now they're finally doing something about it.

Now to the blockbuster antitrust lawsuit against Google. Tonight, the Justice Department accusing the tech giant of being a monopoly gatekeeper for the Internet.

They claim the tech giant has been engaging in anti-competitive tactics, paying phone manufacturers and tech companies billions to allow Google to be their default search engine. Prosecutors alleging the ties were so deep, a senior Apple official wrote, Our vision is that we work as if we are one company. Today, Google responded, saying the lawsuit is deeply flawed and would do nothing to help consumers. Google says this would only prop up lower quality search engines.

You know, Google versus the US government. Oh, this is going to be huge.

And honestly, I don't know who's going to win because the US government has a lot of experience here.

They broke up Standard Oil. They broke up AT&T. I mean, they even broke up in sync. Uncle Sam is heartless.

On the other hand, this is Google. This is Google. They're going up against people. Are you sure you want the smoke?

I mean, they can probably just tweak their algorithms a little bit and then killed entire investigation. OK, now, to win this case, I just need to Google this antitrust law. Wait a second. All my results are child porn. I don't want this undue. I'm no, I didn't ask for this. Oh, no, no. I have to arrest myself, blah. And honestly, I get why Google is coming from men like I tried using Yahoo!

Search the other day and even Yahoo!

Was like, I don't know. Hold on. Let me Google it. That's a tough one. But to be fair, this is what monopolies do.

They get rid of all their other competition and then say that they're the best, which is technically true. But it's also partly because of their actions. You know, it's like if a guy named Greg set up a dating app with only option was Greg. How about Greg? No, I want to see someone else swipe left. OK, well, can I interest you in Greg? No. What about Greg? OK, I guess I'll take Greg.

Fine choice. Milady's staying in the world of tech. Last night's Alexandrea Ocasio Cortez, New York congresswoman and supreme villain of your uncle's Facebook feed, decided to pick up a controller to own the news and get out the game of votes. Congresswoman Alexandria Couso Cortez.

She made her debut on the streaming gaming service Twitch, urging everyone to vote.

If you are able to vote, we are here. I will vote Dotcom and make sure that you make your voting plan.

Nearly half a million people tuned in for Aoki's first ever twitch stream. That's the third largest audience ever.

Oh, Toasties, the other imposter, OK. Well, how do I get in there now? This is what I'm talking about, AOC for the win, not only because she's helping to get young people to the polls, but because it gives me a great excuse to spend all day playing video games. Yeah, Mom, I am playing Call of Duty all day because our democracy is at stake.

Jimmy, you can't be bitch. And don't forget your vote. And it's funny how politicians show you their age based on how they think they need to campaign, because you can tell Aoki's young, right? She connects to voters through online gaming and then Comilla, those events on Zoome. And then Joe Biden greets shoppers at Wal-Mart. So Kudo's again, because this is a great way to appeal to young voters and it's much better than that time. The Trump Lifestream himself playing Wolfenstein and said that there were fine people on both sides.

Speaking of Trump, a few weeks ago, The New York Times reported that he hadn't paid any taxes in years, but now it turns out he was paying taxes just to a different country.

The New York Times now reports that Mr. Trump pursued a range of business projects in China for years and even maintains a previously unknown Chinese bank account. Trump spent a decade chasing business deals in China without success, and Trump Organization lawyer told the Times the company opened the Chinese account to pay local taxes and no deals ever materialized.

According to the Times. Trump International Hotels Management is the Trump company with the Chinese bank account, and which the tax records show paid more than one hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars in taxes in China while pursuing licensing deals there from twenty thirteen to twenty fifteen.

Well, well, well. Turns out someone had a secret bank account in China. Maybe that's why Trump has had beef with the Chinese all these years. I mean, you know how annoying bank fees can be.

One time I tried to withdraw money, but they had no money. But then they charged me for not having any money, which makes no sense because they know I don't have money. So that's why we did a trade war. And look, remember, it's not necessarily weird that someone like Donald Trump has a Chinese bank account. What is weird is that he kept it a secret from the American people. Like if you have a photo of Don Cheadle, it's kind of weird, but whatever.

But if you have a photo of Don Cheadle locked inside a giant safe, then it's like, what are you doing with that picture, man? Now, on the other hand, maybe you want an American president who pays taxes to China. I mean, this way when he's sitting down with GE, he can say things like, listen, buddy, I pay your salary. And this is what I think needs to happen.

Now, I'm willing to bet that Trump wishes he had that Chinese tax money back in his pocket because with less than two weeks to go before the election, his campaign is almost broke.

I know.

Which is really surprising for a Trump enterprise. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has been setting fundraising records every month and some of that money is coming from a whole new type of fundraiser.

The cast of Veep is reuniting to put Joe Biden in the White House.

Fonzi, Richie Potsy and other members of the Happy Days cast are reuniting for one night only. The virtual event is a fundraiser supporting the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

It's an Avenger's reunion today for Biden and Harris. An all star cast is hoping people cast their ballots for Joe Biden. The entire leading original cast of Hamilton performed the song The Room Where It Happens as part of a virtual fundraiser for the presidential nominee. Cast members of the hit comedy Seinfeld will reunite for a virtual fundraiser for the Texas Democratic Party. The event, named a fundraiser about something, will take place on Friday at eight p.m..

Yes, the cost of Hamilton, Veep and even Seinfeld are getting back together to raise money for the Democrats. And not only that, but Emily and Paris promise that if they get enough donations, they won't make another season. And personally, I hope it doesn't stop with the Zoome reunion's. I mean, if Biden can get the cost of Seinfeld to make another season, you better believe he'll win the election by like 40 points because.

Come on, how bad do you want to see a Seinfeld set in pandemic New York? George would claim he has covered just to get out of work. Kramer would be selling bootleg hand sanitizer he made in his bathtub. Elaine will be dating a pharmacist to get the vaccine quicker. And then Jerry would probably break up with a beautiful woman just because she wears her mask slightly below her nose, leaving her nose uncovered.

She's a nose nudist, but I do feel bad for Donald Trump. The guys at a huge disadvantage when it comes to big reunions, because no one in Hollywood likes him, although luckily for him, there is one blockbuster reunion coming up to show support coming this Friday, a reunion to support the Trump campaign featuring all the villains from Star Wars for donation of just 50000 dollars or dirt on Joe Biden.

You can watch a table read featuring all your favorite bad guys, Darth Vader. Trump is the only candidate of law and order, the Emperor Palpatine, Jabba the Hutt Bar Code.

Talk about what that robot guy with the arms and Jar Jar Binks after the application.

And for another 50 grand stick around. And here the villains reveal behind the scenes moments. I could have stopped Luke from kissing Leo. I just didn't want to. A one time event live streamed from Dongjun, use Instagram account, do your part to make the galaxy great again. Let the hate flow through you. All right, we've got to take a quick break, but when we come back, we'll take a look at why Lindsey Graham is begging you for money.

And Chris Rock is joining us on the show later. So don't go away.

Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. With less than two weeks to go until Election Day, most of the attention is on the presidential race. But don't forget, the Senate is also in the balance.

And that's just as critical because Joe Biden could win the White House. But if the Republicans control the Senate, well, then they'll just block his entire agenda.

In many ways, having the White House without having the Senate's is like getting an iPhone without a charger. Congrats. You own a thousand dollar rectangle. So with many crucial Senate seats up for grabs, let's check in on some of the most crucial races in our latest edition of Vote Qasm, 20 20.

We start in South Carolina, the state that's just there to make North Carolina seem reasonable. Lindsey Graham, the Republican incumbent and the nation's only possum's senator, is currently facing a tough battle against Democrat challenger and Kimmy Schmidt's best friend, Jamie Harrison. And Lindsay is in trouble, folks, because not only is he neck and neck with Harrison in the polls, but Harrison just blew away the all time record for most money raised in one quarter, which is why Lindsey Graham has been doing a lot of this.

I'm getting outraised three to one, outspent four to one. If you want to help me fight back, go to Lindsey Graham, dot com. Five or ten bucks from half your audience would fill in the gap that I'm facing. Get on our website. Lindsey Graham, dot com. Five or ten bucks goes a long way. Lindsey Graham, help me if you want to help me. Lindsey Graham, dot com. Lindsey Graham, dot com. Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham, dotcom, dotcom.

Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. You need to have my back, please.

Lindsey Graham. God damn it, man. Lindsey doesn't sound like he's running for Senate. He sounds like he's being held hostage by Somali pirates. Help me. Help me send money. They said that they are the captain. Now, it's obviously sad to watch, though, because Lindsey Graham has basically turned Fox News into one long infomercial for his campaign, although Fox News usually has ads for adult diapers anyway. So the viewers are used to seeing a grown man crapping his pants.

I also love how when you cut his desperation together, it sounds like a brand new country hits Lindsey Graham.

Dotcom, Lindsey Graham can't help me. Help me. Lindsey Graham. But at least Lindsey and the Republicans are still ahead in South Carolina because an Iowa Republican senator, Joni Ernst, is trailing a couple points behind her Democratic challenger, Teresa Greenfield. And it doesn't help Ernst that at their last debate she failed to answer a farming question that apparently everyone in Iowa should know.

My question is a simple egg question. Teresa Greenfield, you answer first. What's the break? Even price for a bushel of corn in Iowa this week?

Well, a bushel of corn is going for about three sixty eight today. Three sixty nine and break even really just depends on the amount of debt someone's have.

I might have missed about. I don't think you answered my question. What's the break. Even price for soybeans in Iowa. You grew up on a farm. You should know this.

I think you had asked about corn and it depends on who asked her corn. It depends on what the inputs are. But probably about five fifty. Well, you're a couple of dollars off.

I think you're because it's ten or five. So we'll move on to something else.

And I can and I don't think Miss Greenfield answered either.

She actually. But the price of corn wheat. Ask for the price of soybeans from you, Senator. You want to take another crack at it? No, thank you. OK. Wow, this is the most Iowa controversy imaginable because remember, Iowa is all about farming. So not knowing the break, even price of soybeans is a pretty big deal. You know, it's like how in Nevada, everyone should know the price of a gambling license or how everyone in New Jersey should know what a hit man costs, what you know.

It all depends. Is he leaving the body in the street as a message? Was he chopping it up and throwing it in the river? Because that's going to cost extra. You know, it's like a deluxe package.

And, you know, I get why they ask questions like these. But the truth is, if you want to find out if someone is ready to be a US senator, you shouldn't ask them if they know the price of soybeans. You should ask them how to get Mitch McConnell to get that bill up for a vote. The answer is to gently stroke his neck. All we all got from the. I'm not sure. Let's revolt. I will say Trump better pray they don't ask him any of these questions at the debates on Thursday because there is no way he knows what anything costs.

That is so important because it was terrible under Obama and he spat on my campaign. We got him red handed and nobody is talking about it. And that's why Barack Obama is stealing the ballots. But we're going to stop them. And in fact, we've already stopped them. I'm sorry, Mr. President. The question was, how much is a gallon of milk there?

And finally, let's take a look at Georgia, the world's top producer of Mumble Reppas. Georgia is usually a safe Republican states, but right now, Republican Senator David Perdue is struggling to keep a razor thin lead against Democratic challenger John USCIRF.

And Senator Perdue had a couple of options to increase his lead, either reach out to the state's growing minority population or whip up the Trump base. And this week, he seems to have made his choice.

Republican Senator David Perdue of Georgia is facing backlash after appearing to purposefully mispronounce the name of Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris during a Trump campaign rally in Georgia on Friday. Here's what he said.

But the most insidious thing that Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden are trying to perpetrate in Burnie and Elizabeth and come on. Or what? Common-Law, Comarca, Mama, Mama, Mama, I don't know whatever.

Perdue has served in the Senate alongside Harris for nearly four years. Come on, man. Really, how are you going to pretend that you don't know how to say her name when you've been co-workers who see each other all the time for years?

You know, if anything, Perdue is just showing off that he doesn't pay attention at work. It's like hearing someone on the Lakers say that they are teammates with LeBron James. He's like, dude, you can check that for a while, haven't you? The question is, why would Senator Perdue act like Kamala Harris? Whose name is that? Hard to say. Comilla commom. Malama, what is he doing?

Is he making a racist joke was. Was he doing racism? Well, that sounds like a case for Trevor Noah, racism detective.

Yeah, it's racist. All right, we have to take a quick break, but don't go away, because when we come back, Michael Costa learns what professional liars think about Donald Trump. And Chris Rock is still coming up.

We'll be right back. Feeling lost, then we've got the podcast for you, Laborites. I'm Amanda Knox and I am Christopher Robinson. I know what it's like to be absolutely stuck to wind up in a life I never expected.

But everyone's got their own personal maze, complete with dead ends, shortcuts and Midnighters.

So we're bringing you a podcast where you can get lost on a cruise ship in the trauma of a mother's murder, in a presidential campaign or in a corrupt court surrounded by ravenous media.

A podcast featuring unlikely obstacles, a terrorist husband, a shadowy cabal, a pregnant wife across the ocean.

So come on, get lost with us as we bring you stories from Jon Ronson, LeVar Burton, Yasmeen Mohammed, Dave Navarro, Andrew Yang, Malcolm Gladwell and others expect dark and hilarious misadventures, controversial questions, and above all, expect to arrive at unexpected places.

Listen to Labyrinths on the I Heart radio app, on Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Who out there is looking for a little hope? Everybody raises their hand look no further than committed. The only podcast that dives into the stories of couples who go through the most difficult things and still want to get up and face the next day together. We're back for our fifth season.

That is five seasons of ups and downs, good and bad failure and triumph. We have spent the past three years interviewing couples like Amy and Vick, who met when Vick was homeless and living under a Bush, Marion and Tommy, who both have Down syndrome and have still been married for nearly four decades, and Catherine Jay and found their marriage only got stronger as they coped with Katherine's near fatal brain stem stroke. One of the most incredible things to me every day is that we're still finding new couples and I'm biased, but I think this season is the best season yet.

And I know I say that every season nothing makes you love your own marriage again, like listening to stories about other people's marriages.

And if you've never listened before, you get caught up.

Right now, there are more than seventy five episodes of committed binge as we speak. Listen to the committed podcast with new episodes each Wednesday on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. After any presidential debates, pundits of all types get together to break down what the candidates said and what it all meant. But Michael Costa decided to gather a panel of experts uniquely suited to a presidential debates with Donald Trump.

Check it out.

Every time Trump tells a lie, I paid millions of dollars in taxes. The media comes at him with a raging truth. Boehner We rate that as false.

This is so false. I think it's safe to say it's ridiculous. Yeah. Trump lies if fried chicken isn't going in, a lie is coming out. But I wanted to dig a little deeper. So for the last presidential debate, I gathered three professional liars, Bret Johnson, former FBI most wanted con man, Tymon Krauze Hypnotist's, and Alexis Conrad, magician and deception expert. I wanted to know where these masters of deception impressed by Trump's lying.

Trump's followers and listeners are almost in a constant state of trance where his simple messages get through. But they're not being critically challenged. He makes sure that the critical thinking of the listeners is eliminated.

I would add in what is the expectations of the person that you're lying to? Do they want to believe your lie? We have this perception that the people that are followers of Donald Trump or that fall for scams or idiots are stupid or ignorant or not. It's just that they're looking to make sense out of something that doesn't make sense.

People want to be deceived, like when my high school girlfriend told me she was going to prom with the football captain.

But just as a joke, boy, if that poor guy only knew in speaking of public humiliation in the first debate, I thought Trump was a mess.

Really. Now, the president is totally played, totally discredited. But these guys liked his aggressive style.

He's just showing confidence and dominance over his opponent of the moderator, because what he's saying is, I don't care about the rules are power move.

He's saying, I got your debate rules right here. You can't see because it's on Zoom, but I just grabbed my crotch.

Trump style might have annoyed some voters, but maybe he was trying to connect with another group he could spend the next four years with.

I served seven and a half years in federal prison. What we saw in the debate was basically a prison debate.

There's debates in prison like podiums in the yard next to the bench. Press sick.

No, no, no, no, no. This is Mike versus right. Loudness just boiling over to steam, rolling over your opponent.

Bret, you're the only one I'm talking to right now that I can't actually see their background. Are you still in prison right now?

And as a professional hypnotist to own claims, the great Trump Peni was using some of his spellbinding techniques.

Much like a skilled hypnotist, Trump is using imagery to his advantage. One way to put someone into hypnosis is using sensory overload. So I could say focus on your breathing, the rate of your blinking, my words, your heart rate, and then deliver a simple message like sleep. And it's going to go by unchallenged because you're not thinking critically. Trump said a lot. He says we need better forest management. Then suddenly Focus focuses on the clean forest and the leaves on the floor.

At a certain point, the audience is an almost trance like state, and he delivers a simple message, something like. And that's why you got to vote for me. I'm going to vote for Trump, that's always been my plan from day one in the most talked about moment of the debate, Trump seemed to whiff on a softball question. Stand back and stand by.

But these professional liars claim he knocked it out of the park.

Trump almost got himself into real deep trouble there. So then what happens is Trump turns into a magician and he's asked to condemn and he uses the word condemn. It's right there. He says, who do you want me to condemn? But in a split second, as if by magic. Oh, I'll do it again, Alexis.

When someone says, hey, there's just two cards there, and when you hit it, you just fill it with your finger.

How do you handle that? I say, I don't know what you're talking about.

Just denounced the trick, Alexis. And after Alexis finally nailed his card trick, he talked me through how to spot a card on both sides of the aisle.

You saw Biden at his best when he talked about the empty chair at the dinner table because you've lost someone to covid-19. I was a con man. You want to put people in a situation, something that is going to be familiar to them. That is a universal image. And I thought that was really clever.

Wow. These guys can see through the deception like lines of code in the Matrix. So are they in awe of Bullshit's Chosen One?

Would you vote for Trump because he's a great liar, just like you three, or would you never vote for him because he's horning in on what you do?

You got to hand it to him. But would I ever vote for him? No, no, never. Absolutely not.

Well, you know, felons can't vote, OK? Is there respect because he's in the same class as you or is there disrespect because he's he makes it look ugly? What you've done masterfully, even though you were convicted of thirty nine counts.

I have no respect for a guy like that. No, in no way I could vote for. No way. You know, that's the first time I've felt like you're truly speaking from the heart. Yeah.

And that's the God's honest truth. I think. Thanks for that, Michael. All right, when we come back, I will talk to the one and only Chris Rock. You don't want to miss it. What's up? I am machine gun Kelly, and look, I know Halloween is going to suck this year because there's no trick or treating and all that, but I've got a treat as a musical podcast that I made with my friends. Twenty four K Golden NDR and Dana Dentate and Satan.

Well, Satan is not my friend, but Tommy Lee is in Tommy Lee is playing Satan, but don't just take it from me. Tell him Satan. Thanks, dude. It feels great to be playing Satan on this podcast this Halloween. Listen to Halloween and hell on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcast or whatever. You get your podcasts on soundtracks available on Spotify, but wherever you stream your music.

But I mean, like everybody's got a podcast these days. But what would I know? I'm Satan, for God's sakes. Don't even get me started.

Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Earlier today, I spoke with the legendary comedian and actor Chris Rock. We talked about him starring in the new season of Fargo and what it's like to live a brand new life.

Chris Rock. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Yes, good to have you here. I feel like it's you are you are a human being who has after Tamborine, your special Tamborine felt like it was a turning point in your life. And I feel like you have been on a journey of like just creating the renaissance of Chris Rock. You know, like Tamborine was a point where you talked about family and your marriage and what happened after that.

And you've been really open about going to therapy and changing your life and changing your mind. Now you're in Fogo, you know, in a role that, like, I don't think any of us would have dreamed of seeing you. Have you have you have even played a villain before and ever.

You know what? I did one episode of Oh, God Empire. And I did I did this movie NBT years ago with Morgan Freeman. I was a little movie. Right. We were kind of hitmen. But, you know, this is like a series. So you've got to be a, you know, a villain for 10 weeks. So, yeah, it's real easy to be exposed in this in this realm. But, you know, I'm an old black man.

I got anger. I guess some in it. Your performance is electric.

Your your your vibe is different. You're playing a villain who also like I mean, we we like at the same time I guess we like we like the essence of the character. We almost go like, well this is the life of crime that he was thrust into and he just he just lives it.

Yeah. It was a black man. Nineteen fifty. So it's like his choices weren't that you know, I mean so you rootworm because you're like wow, this guy actually created a comfortable life for himself and his family. I mean he's got the flaws of every criminal, every, every criminal thinks they're smarter than they think they are.

They're smarter than you think they are, but they're not as smart as they think they are. And, you know, we'll see what happens to him. But you watched enough, Fargo. You know where this is going. I also like the premise. I feel like like just one part of the story. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched. But one of my favorite parts is how you have to raise each other's children as just like a measure of keeping the peace, which I think could actually be a fantastic thing to do in America.

Like maybe maybe that's the solution to how Americans care about each of us. You swap kids in the country, you know, Republicans and Democrats swap your babies at birth.

I'll take some magnet kids. Yeah, I would love to.

I don't know if my kids want to leave their posh living conditions, but I'll take a couple of that.

What do you what do you make of everything that's going on in the country? Is this now the craziest now or does it just feel like it because we're living now?

Is it the craziest? It's ultimately like what's going to be the ask?

OK, we're rioting and we're shutting down cities and we have all the attention of the whole world. Like we were like, oh, this is going to change everything. But yeah, what are we really asking for? Only asking, are we asking for things that.

The powers that be will have to make real renovations to happen because we say we were here in the 60s, but the ass was actually.

Not that great, like we're asking a lunch counter with you. That's not really a big that doesn't really require anything from the powers that be. Right. You're taking no colored signs. I mean, so, you know, you have a situation, whatever, years ago, Martin Luther King is Andrea Abernathy. It's all these guys. And they have an audience with the richest government in the history of the world. And they didn't ask for any money.

They didn't ask for like they didn't ask for anything that couldn't have been done with the snap of a finger.

It feels. Yeah, but like I feel like the money could it would have been easier, because when you think about that lunch counter and you think about think of it this way, like as comedians, right. When we're at the Comedy Cellar, one of those places and you're at the comedy table for somebody to sit at the comedy table when they're not a comedian is quite an ask. You know, if an audience member was like, yo, can I sit at this table?

Would be like, I don't think that that is humanly possible, but we would be willing to give you one hundred.

But they don't belong at the table. But that's how they felt about black people in America at the time.

Yeah, but you're talking about how they who gives a fuck how they feel? How do we feel about our self interest? If we felt if we felt about ourselves as equals, we would have said stouter like you really do about a lunch counter. I would rather you told me we had equal education but had to sit up separate left out of that cycle. And you said we had equal access to capital, interesting money to have businesses, but we had to sit a separate lunch counters like I don't know about sitting with white people.

I care about opportunity for my children. Can my kids go to school easily and get the same education as a white man? Can my kids you know, my kids wanted to start a business. Do they have that up to all this other shit is cosmetic is just clothes.

So now once that's that's a good question because I mean, like now it feels like now it feels like the OSC has become a lot more than just a lunch counter. Now, the OSC has been like, let's look at your board of directors. Let's look at the people you hire. Let's look at the police. Let's look at, you know what I mean?

It feels like the US this is a different Austin twenty twenty with the mindset that we're equal.

That not only equal shit, we have to live at the bottom, we're kind of just there's parts of us that are superior because we've had to live underwater or damn near so we can hold our breath longer than you. That's the real deal. This other wanting to be a part of something is bullshit. You know, Jackie Robinson got to play baseball. Oh, that's a great thing. I got to play with him.

That's what I'm trying to say. They got to play with him. And you realize what, Jackie Robinson got to play baseball. It destroyed the Negro Leagues, some of the only black businessmen that were making real capital at the time.

Right now, it's equity at the end of the day. Yeah, it's like having having a stake in your own future, having a real stake in your own future.

I mean, yeah, the scribe's of the civil rights movement were great, but don't get them confused with, like, real things. The things we got were, you know, we deserved.

Right. It's not a it's not a it's not a gift and it's not a privilege, it's not a privilege to be treated humanely.

And I mean, when you when you release a hostage, it's not like you don't have a party. You're just like, oh, good. Like, oh, I'm glad that shit's over. Right. So, you know, and that's Blacula, like basically hostages at our own land. Yeah.

Look at us. Chris Rock and Trevor Noah breaking it down.

I feel like in some ways the journey America has been on now is not dissimilar to the journey you've been on over the past, maybe, let's say, a year and a half where it's been a an extreme journey of introspection and also self work.

I mean, maybe Chris Rock's journey has paid off sooner. You were doing, what, like nine, 11 hours of therapy a day?

I'm still trying to do about seven a week right now. Yeah, what? Explain to me what like how how you even do that. Are you trying to finish yourself once you finish a video game? What are you doing?

I did two shrinks. I do a group and I do a learning specialist assess for people. And yeah, I do it like this way. If I was working on my body, that's not a long time. Right. And I'm sure the rock does that just on you know, just on a leg day mean just on his legs. So I have the resources and you know, I notice certain patterns in my life that I was tired of repeating and.

Yeah, and I'm just exploring a lot of things. So I'm doing ayahuasca Friday night with a shaman and the whole day I'm like doing a diving deep. Trevor Noah. I'm excited for you.

I'm happy for you as a human being. As a friend. As a fan. Yeah. I'm excited to see what the next what the next chapter is going to be like.

I'm excited to see what you're going to do. And boy, so you are you covering this all the way to Election Day?

Like covering it all the way, sir. Oh, can't wait, I don't know what's going to happen, right? I don't know. Neither neither outcome would shock me. Yep, neither outcome would shock me. But I'm hoping for change, so, you know, I feel like I'm witness to Biden, so, yeah, I said it, yeah. I mean, I don't believe in celebrity endorsements anyway.

I don't believe I mean, I do them, but it's not like I don't think anybody's like I was thinking about voting for Trump to Chris Rock said that only one person is like, hey man, I was just getting ready to write Trump that I remembered how much I like to do it.

And I said, Chris Rock, thank you for taking the time, my friend. Look after yourself. Take care. Well, that's our show for tonight. But before we go, we are partnering with the world's central kitchen for their new Chefs for the Polls program. They're activating local food trucks, restaurants and caterers owned and operated primarily by people of color to serve food to people in voting lines, especially in underserved communities where the voting lines are historically longer.

And don't forget, tomorrow is the final presidential debate before the election and possibly ever. We'll be doing a live commentary during it. So follow us on social media so that you don't miss out until tomorrow, though. Stay safe out there, wear a mask. And remember, if you assume everyone around you is baratz, you can never get baratz it.
