You listening to Carmody central everybody, I'm from Noah, welcome to another episode of the daily social distancing. Show onto my show, I'm going to be joined by Joe Biden, former vice president of the United States and presumptive democratic nominee for president. What are we talking about here? response to the black lives matter, movement, his proposals for police reform and what he searching for a running late. Also myself, sewed Georgia's primary, is a catastrophe gone with. Wind is gone from tv and why baby names are changing forever. So, let's get into it. Welcome to the danish social distancing show from troubles couch in New York City to York out somewhere in the world? This is the daily social differences. With travel here. Ok, first up since the murder of George Floyd activists and protests,

This round the country have been rallying around the slogans, defend the police and abolish the police, and while that hasn't happened yet in our cities, it is happening on our tvs. The popular tv show cops visually cancelled. The paramount network may the announcement today, just four days after the show was pulled from the schedule. This comes of a nation wide protest against police brutality and calls for police reform. The series has been on since nineteen eighty nine and faced backlash words depiction of law enforcement. Ok, I think when people were asking for crops to be cancelled This was not what they had in mind. You know this is like this like You make a wish with a genie, but you on specific enough. I wish I was in the NBA models harass the one. That's a travel, a you know. If you ask me I can't even believe the cops lasted this long I mean this is,

Such a ridge show who comes home from they work and is like. I won on wine. You know, let me watch some broke. Shortlist guys get their lives. Drawing the only way. I can get some sleep, and you know, although this might seem like a fool thing, like we're, moving cops from tv. I'll be honest. I think this is a move in the right direction, because people take for granted how our perceptions of the police are shaped by the shows that we watch on tv and also when we hear about police brutality. Alot of people like well that that copyright, I grew up watching, shows like mine vice and start can harsh in Hawaii five. All in all the cops they never did anything wrong. In fact, if you think about it, even when we use to watch cop shows about He's been violating somebody's rights or you know, bidding them up to get a confession. What we think is kids. We will judge that cop, because another story was told we'd like this cup is trying to do his job, but the constitution is holding him back, so

no more cops and that isn't the only problematic content that's being removed from American TV. This more an american cinema classic gone with the wind has been temporarily pulled by the streaming platform HBO backs. For years, the movie has been considered controversial, force, depiction of black people and its glory, vocation of slavery and a statement HBO Max riding in part. These racist depictions were wrong then, and are wrong today, and keeping this title up without an explanation and denounced meant of those depictions would be irresponsible. Adding the film will return with a discussion of its historical context, and I did now some of those very depictions map. This is a big move from HBO. They know that millions of people millions of people in love gone with the wind. They also know that the movie is problematic because it makes it seem, like some slaves, we're having a pretty good time, and we know that's not true

I know some people want to argue that they want to be like all but I'm slave didn't have it that bad and some slave one having a tough. Let me tell you something: if slaves were having a good time, Then they wouldn't have needed to be slaves, yet the people could have let them go home and see if they come back. That's how you know people have good time. Another reason you know they were having a good time is because no white person ever tried to become a slave. Get no white person was ever like a honey. I'm gonna go and see if there are high bring down at the plantation, I think I can make a pretty good slave. Do you think this is often mutual is professional? Wish me luck and look. I know that some people are going to argue that this is just a movie. It doesn't have to be an actor Portrayal of slavery, but my argument is: maybe you wouldn't have to

lie on movies. If american schools didn't use textbooks that refer to slaves as immigrants, and it didn't give our homework assignment, asking people to list the positive aspects of slavery, if you can count on the education system, then movies have to pick up the slack like I understand what HBO doing they like your we're gonna have to provide some context because clearly lot of Americans don't have it in fact, maybe that's what HBO should do you know maybe HBO should should make people take a quiz about american history before they get to watch gone with the wind question number one. Why was there? A civil war oh, because states wanted the right now you don't need a worse. This movie hasn't documentary. You come back in a few years and try get now H. Meal hasn't said how they going to add context to gone with the wind, and it is going to be a tough task, so we decided to do for them. Girl. You know you, you get pretty

I think, actually lower. Never work is we ve traveled alone roads, the owners and risks Odin Lazy days, they weren't lazy by everyone warms to country, twilight the high self, neither left things straight if we're lucky softly Emmy will monitor, is really do anything they have down. Where, were you not just talk about me? You got that right. Goya spend whatever you want. Regulation final plantation as it will be a lantern nation, but if they have to have why labour next time the south is again scarlet great job do say next time you should fix green book now. Why don't movies are getting a lesson in racism? We are also making some updates to the movies of reading books.

One woman is changing the way people look at racism by changing its definition. Kennedy Mitchum contacted Miriam WEBS, after she saw folks, quoting the definition of racism online, but she says the definition should include that there is a systemic oppression upon a group of people. It is not simply just dislike of someone because of the color of their skin or ethnicity. The editor of Miriam Webster or Reed and said a revision to the entry of racism is being drafted. Pull you know this movement is creating change. When even the dictionary is again

they need to update the definition of racism, because dictionaries can be very slow to embrace change. I mean most of these words have had the same definition since I was in pre school and you would really does say something about how powerful this movement is. They just updated, and entire word in the dictionary banish huge I can mention. If who is in charge of Math was just like YO, which grew up on the number seven, it's a lot more complicated than we realised, and you know it makes perfect sense to do this, because there are a lot of people out there who think that racism is only if you were a can hood, We'll call somebody the inward and then, if you don't do that, you're, not racist, I mean Amy Cooper, Amy Cooper ourselves. Oh no, I know what I did was wrong, but I'm not racist. I never did anything racist, but the truth is, and people are starting to realise as racism as a system. Is often more dangerous and destructive preventing black people from getting loans. Stopping black kids from getting an equal education

regional disparities and medical treatment. Racism is like the corn syrup of society. It's been everything so right now, thanks to this movement movement in the streets we are being forced to look at all of the ways we might be further. Perpetuating negative ideas then enforced racism in the world. Our tv shows and movies. The definitions of words and what's been magical to see is that some preparations in institutions they jumped on board. They jumped on what to say: yes, we can all do better oh baby names that com is making a powerful statement in honour of recent protests and the black lives matter movement. The websites homepage shows a black box with dozens of names. Along with the message, is: as each of these names was somebody's baby, they include Eric Michael Philander, Brianna and George. The website posted the names of black people then killed many by police, baby names. Com says it stands in solidarity.

With the black community. I'm not gonna lie one of the most powerful statements I've seen and from one of the most unlikely. Places while baby names dot com. But could you don't think would have any way of participating in a conversation about race and racism, but they ve shown they show that if you want to be a part of moving society forward, you can find a way. In fact, what they did gave me an idea. Oh, you white people, all you why people right now watching the show saying that you allies? Why don't you start naming your kids black names that have historically limited black people from getting jobs. You shouldn't name your white Son Kwame. You should name your white daughter, my camera, yes, and then that way. When corporations are looking for a job applications, they will know who black they will know whose white and I'm serious about this. Why people? The only way to be an ally is to give your kids a black

sounding name, not just joking there's other ways to be an. However, you should have seen your face is easy to see you at terrified yeah cause. I'm just play you can be an airline, so many different ways. For now, you can t give kids normal white people names like Polo and now, while all of this ratio caning is going on to really easy to forget that this is also an election year. Last night's Democrats and Republicans lined up two votes in Georgia's primary elections. And when I say lined up, I mean they lined up today, there is in. Georgia were met with long lines and confusion at pulling places as they try to cast ballots in the states primary elections from a year. You could she long lines of Georgia. Voters socially distanced stretching through parking lots voters report of standing in the hot sun for up to four hours. Extremely long way. I've seen lots of people leave, we don't have an understanding

Why is when it comes to voting rights? Make us do exercise their right of God. Damn you see those lines. I didn't look like a voting. Dade. Look like like the law, seen in us and by the way kudos to than white woman for using her complaining superpower to defend democracy. We need More of that sort of all these white women usually complaining that their iced tea is too cold, because, whether you black White Republican or Democrats, nobody should have to struggle to vote. I think we can all agree on that. Nobody should have to wait for hours to vote. This is an election at the latest pair of Georgians and that's what yesterday was. It was a struggle and unnecessary struggle and

Isn't it went wrong is because of everything. Georgia, a key battleground state in November, had rescheduled its primary twice because of the corona virus pandemic. Health concerns kept many long time. Pole workers from showing up today, leaving inexperienced volunteers to run new voting machines for the first time, calling precincts that we're at churches assisted living centres and senior centres had to be moved because of the corona virus. Georgia, secretary of State who overseas the election, is blaming local officials, saying poor workers were not properly trained. Employees didn't stand the system. So what were they doing? for all these months, all suddenly wake up nicely. Let's have an election on Tuesday, one county official firing back. Get the Secretary of State saying. If there was a failure of leadership, it starts with a book should stop. At the top now Georgia Secretary of State has launched an investigation ahead of November of election, you know it's funny how America has unlimited resources to make sure that countries around the world get democracy, but then America never seems to have

resources to make sure that there is democracy in Amerika I mean if Atlanta once more voting resources. Maybe they should just a kind of their country in the Middle EAST Yo, so we actually Afghanistan Lancer. So we can. We get some of that democracy cash and while these issues were happening across a state of Georgia, they were especially bad in black areas. Three quarters of the people, who called a hotline to complain about voting problems were black and partly that's because out of the fifty three Georgia counties where polling places have been closed since twenty twelve, more than half have large black populations. We have this points. None of this has happened we used to seeing this by now. In fact, smartphone data shows that in twenty sixteen voters in black neighborhoods across the country waited pulling places twenty nine percent longer than voters in white areas so as usual when something goes bad in Amerika for black people, it gets worse.

I'm doesnt matter wanted, as well as policing voting issues or winter, because the weather Channel says its thirty degrees of a black people s. She feels like negative. Ten So once again, America had an election day and once again America had a case of severe electoral dysfunction, especially with corona virus. Now in the mix- and you don't just like with Corona Virus America has an opportunity right now to heed the warnings before it's too late, because this isn't just a problem in Georgia. We see these issues all around the country and if this happens again in November with the presidency at stake best believe

People are gonna, be fighting over a lot more than just toilet paper, and we need to take a short break, but don't go away because Joe Biden joining us right after this. So stick around. Welcome back to the daily social distancing show earlier today I spoke to form a vice president, Joe Biden, about his position on police reform, voting rights and so much more check it out. Mr vice president, welcome to the daily social distancing show grew to be reviewed and is a big. This indefinitely is a big distance, You you have been making news over the past few weeks, responding to what's happening in America, responding to what can easily be described as one of the most tumultuous times in not just I can but world history. I want to talk a little bit about the up at that you put out today, probably through how you plan to undo stomach oppression, how you plan to undo systemic racism and and and how you think, you'll addressed.

Needs of the african american community. First of all, it's gonna take time. You know down from didn't invent racism, but he sure has promoted an assistant. He's, been real disparities in the country, especially in the economy. Right now, the combination Rosa we're just an awful combination. Covered nineteen unemployment. Stomach racism and what's happened in terms of the way in which the the George Floyd's death took place, I mean I think about it. When I was a kid. What really a change in sport, the sunrise movement as a kid live just involved in it? No great shake just a high school college student was that television was wrong and tell them you came along when they saw away all Conner We join in Birmingham Alabama people whoa- I don't know, really happening in America bright and then now day everybody not always should cop be wearing a body came,

everybody has a body, give everybody has a cell phone and can you if they, the last word George worried? I can't breathe, they would have a consequential, but had not seen him take his last breath. None of this would have been nearly as consequential, because people are now saying, my god. Did you see that this one of those inflection points? It really does feel like an inflexional point. It is a difficult one for many Americans to navigate because most of them, I agree that there is a problem in policing between police and the Blue community and even many poor white communities? This is something that we know when we look at interactions between the police and american people. You have come out in favour of police reform. You know, what what does that actually mean, because some people think that you cannot reform an institution that is funding and to me rotten in the core. Well, I don't think it's rotten in the core, involving all cops are bad cops.

Good luck. Ninety percent of all the funding raise comes local taxpayers, so the federal government or our system can now. Other than taking a civil rights action say that a b c and d all week and do is we can make or that we insist on certain fundamental changes, take place now and clear in giving making sure their sensitivity, training making sure that all of cops grievances are issued me transgressions are all made public because we can say, if you don't, we are not going to provide the federal funding every provide for you through they call burn granted cop grants, and so we can, I think, now, pact on significantly the desire of many police departments as well. Fundamentally change the way they police in many, listen, organizers have come out saying there have been repeated attempts to reform many police departments word

for civilian cameras. We wouldn't know the truth. Often times I mean we ve seen three instances in the past few weeks of major police departments being contradicted by video evidence that comes out. So some would say to you, Mr Vice President, if you would Become president. Do you think that there would be a world where defending the police would be the solution and getting getting so of these responsibilities, away from police forces, knew no police and schools police handling, so illness, police handling, homelessness, etc. While the relaunch of they can take place period without having the fund police completely. Here's. What I think sap you have well over eighty percent american people going whoa. I didn't know this you know, this was happening. I don't believe we should be defined a break The conditions should be play. Upon them were, departments are having to take significant reforms relay. We should set up national use of force standard evade sign onto it. Then, in fact they don't get

and he found no money in addition that they have to demonstrate that their release, all the data that relates to misconduct by police that all ass to be sent to the Justice Department if they dont send it in the Justice Department, they don't get funding but as a cabin relates to, for example. Mental illness and homelessness and drug abuse in the night many chain we can make, but the aim, for example, my daughter is a social workers, user masses and software. The idea, she's gonna respond by herself to a nine one. One com, says that someone is overdosing or someone as a metal. I'm a manner acting out. The idea of going by themselves is not rational respect. Conversely, cop should go alone was shot. Cop should go with with people war, mental health experts. Do you not think that there is an opportunity to have somebody? That's not a policeman, because you know that the old adage, if you you are a hammer than everything is a nail and so

I think, as an opportunity to have people who are not even police. In these environments who are trained and specialised, I mean at mental institutions. For instance, you know it's not police were helping these people as people who are trained in defusing the situation, know what they are, though they also use force those metal institutions. When someone's out a hare. They put him in a straitjacket they put them in circumstance with a big eyes. Commanded whole somebody down is just someone walkin insane look here. You gotta calm down, I know how to deal with you. This is what it is, not that simple, but that should be the objective. So we should put it Please second, in those circumstances, are not first, for example, we should change, way, which we deal with all drug abuse. Nobody should be going to jail for the use of drugs. They should be going to mandatory rehabilitation. We Rebuilding rehab centres, not more presence in our building trust between Unfortunately, Greece is at an end. Chris Safety, it is

we invest in finding a community police when we were funding community, placing the crime rate down and the visibility of the meat and an end and the extent of brutality went down to because people know who's in the community, but is it what's bigger than that- it's complicated and but I think, should turn over as much as we can to non armed police officers to do today. Escalate meant things remain now almost home thus in drug abuse and one of one of the areas, Almost everybody Sonata synonymously agrees on is that police unions have shown themselves to be extremely strong and often times have contracts that provide impunity for the police. You know it is hard to to get the bad apples out of police departments,

I mean just in the case of George Floor and you had a police officer way just from the record that people could get access to. You saw somewhere around twenty previous grievances against the police officer. So what is your plan? try and get police unions to sign on, and if they don't, is there a plan to remove? Their power ought to deal with them differently. The plan would be that their departments don't get funding. Don't do that things have to change. For example, there are bad is bad senators there about dogs and bad lawyers nor bad and whether all very poor, seen himself everyone, these institutions and organisations, so you got I here's the do when a police officers tried with violent crime, retried violating the law and should not be by the local prosecutor, has to be prosecuted, doesn't handle their cases, we're gonna make got wall so there's more distance between the two

making sure that cops can be fire for cars. Costs can be fired. One in fact, you can make case and bring a case, and in any case they have violated the law they are violated and decency and when that happens, you're gonna see police departments change employees union changing a bottle. Not all units have taken the same positions. Some huge are much more forward. Leaning, another unions are but a few, the matter is, there has to be a fool, about change, you ve got to be able route up bad cops and the cops, the majority of whom are no, how it makes them all. Look. They look. Bad makes everyone look bad. So I figured see a lot more movement in terms of police unions as well, but if it's not we're gonna have Obey the law as written, we're, gonna change the way which we hold police departments accountable. We come back

more of my interview with Joe Biden. Welcome back to the daily social distancing show earlier today I spoke to form of as president and democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden has more of our discussion one of the major things you would have to do in order to create or this change is win an election? Yes, that's true. I thank you. Safe to say that America is expecting a really dirty election. We know how Donald Trump plays in an election. We ve seen it up against Hilary clear when twenty sixteen you know that he holds no punches, you know that he will punch below the belt. You ve often said that you plan to be the presidential brings America back together. But how does that play into the way you ll run? Your campaign will first of all Are you know when the current issue comes through town, the first time nobody finds out, there's no paean to any one of the three shells? Well, next time it comes

round people living a different view, the sailor, who is calling out every? Why he in fact say recalling now I'm making a case that this guy is not a good guy. This is what he is. What's happening? Is the american public overwhelmingly? Now, if you notice two thirds, the american public thinks that the people who want to work, protesting are the people are right and not the president President has been wrong, and so there's a lot is changed a lot. This change going to be hard he's gonna, get very personal and said: Things about me, my family, my shoulder everyday, that are simply true, but the Good NEWS is the bad news. God knows it is the people know me, and I know me wards in all the bad news is, they know me, and saw he's not going to be able to make things. Stick that aren't already real weaknesses on my part, and I have weaknesses for real. Those weaknesses are. Why am I can ever?

I now want to weaken tsar because I always say what I think: no one there no one ever has suggested that I do me what I say. Sometimes all that I mean is that you get me in trouble Sometimes I get it and my all stuttering days, the case they come back and I find myself since to talk. You know, it's all talk talk you like. And saw the I sometimes make political gas gaff your expression. Yeah for Washington is a politician. Tell the truth. The american place the world has been damaged significantly. The next there's gonna a world in disarray, number one number, two at home, we are divided divided nation, a a consequential away. I've spent my whole career and the one thing people giving credit and blame for is bringing this. Both sides together, coming up with principle, compromise so the two things? The reason I'm running both those issues,

and be in my we'll have to mean I'm gonna get him right. I'm gonna make mistakes, I'm gonna make serious mistakes, but the point is, I take responsibility for the mistakes. Let me ask you this: how do you plan is Joe Biden to speak to those voters who might say you know what I'm not of Trump, but I love what he has done for the economy, and I made economically better off because of him. How do you plan to win those people over well? There's no he's many those peoples, everybody thinks if you take a look middle class people and People are unaware that wages and middle class. Folks, you have our full. Three percent of them six months ago and Paul saying they don't think that their choice. Never gonna have the same standard living there. He has really damage the economy for hard working and middle class people. That's. Why said? The second reason I'm running and restore the backbone of these countries, hard work and middle class people where the present has to be.

Part of the solution, not the problem. Ordinary people are getting crushed and guess what, if you are latino or you're Africa american. You are really getting crush. The unemployment rate among black uses up in a thirty six, thirty seven percent rate even higher Latinos everybody's began I understand the way we treat people is simply not right. As president Would you then continue being the binding was not afraid to tell it like it is an address those issues specifically within those communities, because often It feels, like politicians, run on these ideas, but then, when they get into power, they say or within a fixed things for everybody, but the truth is America has a legacy of oppressing certain people, specifically black people, and feels like those issues and those areas need to be addressed in a very specific way as upholstery general way. Are you gonna be willing to do that unless some of the backlash that comes with its by the way yes- and I tell you what one other thing I've done and I've been known for in my state-

not only are known address those issues just to the african mercury. I go to the business community and make the case to the business community. I went people you gotta make the case to the people who in fact are there. Locked into pay their taxes to do these things and say, tell me you ll be better off and I'm coffin, I'm confident that you have at least twenty percent of the population. That is the folks who are in the upper income, Brok has gone well yeah. You know, I guess I'm a little better off. If there's more people, pieces We we tend to being unwilling to make the case to the people who historic, We said ok this law about minor, paid taxes, you can build a wall I enough around your home. You keep pollution. Can build a wall high enough around your home, too peace in the neighborhood you can build. High enough round your home to see to it. That you have a safe.

To move around the country. I mean just an. I think. We're gonna make the case to the very people who saved Portugal has point all make, is you know the people who voted for tromp out of frustration, Highschool, educated people or bust your neck further neighbours I come from? I tried, come from his Pennsylvania Pennsylvanian climb onto the people. I grew up with. In fact they in fact understand and I think they know, I think they know me- that's why I think the point out is demonstrating that they know We will do what I say and respect them when we come back Vice President Biden tells me who is choosing, as his running mate face will come back to the daily social distancing. Show here is the final part of my interview with Vice President Joe Biden. You may have risen

backed- and you may have people coming out in many places to vote for you, but as we saw in Georgia just yesterday, if those peoples votes on counted and if those people don't get the opportune, to vote, then your entire campaign may be mooch. So what is the plan up until now but to make sure that people can vote to make sure that everyone. Well it's republican Democrat, black or white, has the opportune. It's a vote without being in a line that six hours long. My greatest concern my single greatest concern. This presence than trying to steal, selection, this, the guy who said in all male imbalances, are fragile drought, voting by male while he's behind. Skin oval office in rights is male imbalance of Odin and Gunnar. This the guy you have twenty three, I believe States and passed over over eighty two pieces of legislation making a harder for people of her heart,

that's why we are putting together a major initiative. Lawyers to go out and make sure that we are in every single district in the country to patrol this. We need to find president in this Their worries vice president we're gonna have same day registration. The report was Pennsylvania burst county votes. We may not know quote. This is the sort of implicit threats we may not know who one Pennsylvania in a general election until a month after the election. While what do you think that this is about This is a man you do you worry there? Let me let me ask you this, and I know this is a strange question to ask an american politicians maybe easier around the world, but have you ever considered what would happen if the elections alt came up as you being the winner and Trump refused to leave. Yes, I have brow sodium proud year for Chiefs of staff coming out and ripping the skin off Trump are you have so many rank and file Miller?

personnel say well we're not a military state. This is not who we are I promise you. I am absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House and have with great dispatch. There are many people have taken to the streets now there are many black people there are many might be why people watching with them. There are many young people who say We need a revolution. We need to see a change in this country, was Joe Biden, you often pistres pitched yourself as the person who is going to bring the people together the person who's going to transform things as opposed to just a revolution. What is your pitch to them? What your pitch to that too, that burning votes are what is your pitched too then voted who says Joe Biden, I'm crushed by college debt? I need to see the world change. I haven't seen enough. Change and I dont understand why I should vote for you when it All of a sudden I was a front runner and the expectation was Joe Biden for vice president ladies entitles he's a front runner, let's take him down, and so we spend

better part of year, with a target on my back and now worked out and people are now gone. Oh I've had actually people say to me: I didn't know that was your position environment. I didn't know you were the guy. The rostrum wrote the first climate change, go back in ninety eighty six, I didn't know, etc. I didn't know you were the guy that took on apartheid. I didn't know you were the guy. Who did that? I didn't know well enough. So things are getting to change, people are realizing and I have changed. I have changed, leave. There has to be more more debt forgiveness for colleagues long I need to more opportunity to go to college for free for free, but we have to change corporate policy too. And the tax. Imagine just concluding. I know you gotta go, but imagine if we had. The two trillion dollar tax got had wasted on the wealthy that generated virtually no growth at all. No growth in all

for most concerned thing. Tat. A man If we had that two trillion dollars back on, in foreign say where you use that to educate people were reduced. To that really would be a different country. Leadership matters. Leadership matters. My final question to you pertains to the race. You ve been really tight lipped and you ve played your cards close your chest about who you are running, mates could be, people have thrown up names, Stacy It was common Le Harris, you know, Elizabeth Warren, etc. I I have a pitch for you last time you teamed up with someone who was half african half white, and things went very well for you, Mr Vice president, and I've looked at my contract and I've seen that nothing. Stop me from being vice president of the United States. We are born America. I don't think that's an issue to be honest for vice president. It is unfortunate that the US
