Been more successful than many people could have imagined. 53 of American Voters now say that they support black lives matter with only two when only two years ago it was around 40 . Multiple major corporations in america have now said they are actively going to diversify their workplace and hire black people who theyve previously discriminated against for so long, and millions of white americans are now desperately trying to find a second black friend. One to have the biggest shifts in america is something the country has been resisting for 155 years. Over at the capitol, House Speaker nancy pelosi is calling for nearly a dozen confederate statutes to be removed saying they play homage to hate. In richmond a con fefort statue of Jefferson Davis pulled down, the face smashed before towed away in pieces. Bubba wallace racing with black lives matter painted on his car, the race starting hours after nascar banned the Confederate Flag. That was a huge Pivotal Moment for the sport. A lot of backlash but it creates doors and allows the community to come together as one. Trevor yeah, from congress all the way to nascar, all over the country people are asking the question is it finally time to let go of the confederacy. I think its impressive nascar is doing this because the Confederate Flag is extremely popular with a lot of their fans. To soften the blow, maybe ban the fans from bringing the flag to the races but incorporate it into the race itself. If you win, they raise the checkered flag, for the loser the co Confederate Flag. Everyone wins. Why did congress have Confederate Flags in the first place . The confederacy fought against america so why have statutes of the confederacy in the building . Its like women having gluten in the kitchen. I dont even understand what that is. The government treats traitors better than black citizen. George floyd had a 20 counterfeit and gets chokes to death. The confederacy is responsible for thousands of dead americans and you build a statue. The winning side is finally deciding it doesnt need to keep celebrating the side that tried to destroy them. One step that the pentagon is considering is renaming military bases that are named after confederate offices, you know, names like fort bragg in north carolina, forthood in texas and fort slave catcher in georgia. I dont even know how they let that one pass. Whats interesting is that, while the military thinks this symbolic move can help Race Relations in the ranks, the commander in tweet strongly disagrees. U. S. Militaries leaders expressed a willingness to discuss renaming bases named after confederate generals. Trump says that wont happen saying theyre part of a Great American heritage. He tweets, the United States of america trained and demoid our heroes on these hall load grounds and won two world wars, therefore my administration will not even consider the renaming of magnificent and fabled military inn installations. Trevor part of me thinks hes appealing to his confederate loving base, and then part because he thinks fort bragg named its base after him. As usual, trumps logic makes no sense. America didnt win world war ii because of the names of those bases, all right, america won world war ii because tom hanks found matt damon. That was the turning point. You can call the base whatever you want. Not going to determine how effectively your soldiers are going to fight. America isnt going to be losing to russia in world war iii, like, we should have never renamed those bases that was our secret weapon gunfirebrook i know for some people this debate might seem inconsequential but you have to understand the reason the generals are open to changing the names of the bases is the same reason nascar is doing it. They want the military to take a unified stand against racism and they want to show that the American Military stands for all americans, including the millions of minorities who have served within its ranks because just take a second and imagine being a black soldier, training at a base that is named after somebody who didnt even think of you as a human being. That isnt just offensive to those soldiers, its offensive to the confederate generals, too. Imagine what if they came back and saw a base named after them. My god, all of the slaves have guns donald trump isnt the only person trying to stand in the way of making progress. While states like new york are finally trying to pass legislation that tries to stop police violence, those changes are being resisted by a very powerful force, the Police Unions. In fact, just listen to the head of the new York Police Union pat lynch lashing out at Police Reform theyre asking us to pull back. Theyre asking us to walk away from you theyre asking us to abandon our communities theyre asking me to walk away from where i live. Theyre asking me to walk away from where i work theyre asking us to walk away from the neighborhoods that we brought back and thats whats happening. And you know what . We dont have a choice if we put our hands on the criminal, youre going to jail. Im not being dramatic, thats how bad it is. Trevor okay. With all due respect, i think you are being dramatic. No policeman is going to jail for touching somebody. This is almost like the Police Version of those guys during metoo. Remember the guys who were like, so what, i cant even smile at a lady in the Office Anybody more . Just cut my dick off now, we know thats coming next nobodys asking police to abandon their communities. Police are asking police to treat all communities like it is their community. Think about the fact that this guy even says we cant even put our hands on a criminal, thats part of the problem. All too often in america, Police Treat Everyone that they come across like a criminal, especially black people, and im not being dramatic, thats just how it is now, for those who dont know, Police Unions fight for their members in the ways that all unions do, all right, they organize for better pay and they organize for benefits. There are a lot of good things that come from having a police union, but they also protect members in ways that make it virtually impossible to hold bad camps accountable. They set the terms of internal investigations that accused cops can stonewall till the department gives up and if one is found at fault unions can put limits on penalties so even if Police Chiefs want to fire the officers who have done something wrong cant do it. On top of all that, there are even examples of police threatening not to do their jobs if politicians try to hold them accountable, by, im sorry, is ridiculous. Can you imagine if nurses threaten to let patients die if theyre not allowed to steal opioids and sell them on the side . No one would accept that. The question is what can americans do. If meese unions are this powerful, what can people do . For more, im joined by our very own union expert roy wood, jr. Whats going on, roy . How you doing . Whats up, man . How you been is this well, im as good as i can be, and im assuming youve seen that video of pat lynch, you know, the head of the new York Police Union. What did you make of the video . Yes, i saw Henry Winkler up there at the microphone doing his thing. Looked like Henry Winkler. I thought it was a happy days reboot. I thought this is a terrible time to bring back this show. Also, side bar, if youre a police union and you vote for somebody to be the head of the police union, you probably shouldnt have them be named la pat lynch. Also where are the rest of the black people on this diverse Police Department . Look at this photo . It looks like the 50year union of a la crosse team trevor yeah, roy, and another problem is the Police Unions are now basically showing people what a powerful force they are. Theyre standing up against the reforms, and theyre so well organized that politicians are afraid of them. Like the question i have for you, is there anything that can be done to weaken the influence they have . See, see, see, see, see, african, youre thinking about it wrong. Heres the thing everybodys trying to make the police union weaker, when all you need to do is make a Stronger Union thats stronger than the police union. Thats why i propose all black people come together and we form a black peoples union, called the National Black association. Trevor wait, hold on. The n. B. A. . Shit, man, ill think of another name. Look, the point is, once this union is together, it brings together every black person in the country and, if youre black, youre automatically approved. Its the opposite of a home loan trevor okay, fine. And then what happens once you have the black union . How does that help is this once were organized, every year, well make america negotiate a new deal with us and, with our strength in numbers, we can finally get our demands met, hold cops accountable for misconduct, dimilitaryize police, shift funding away from cops and towards schools and education and rescue kanye west from the sucking place. We need him back, man trevor okay, roy, that sounds like fair demands, but what if america and the black union cant agree on a deal . What happens then . Well, then black people will just have to take our talents elsewhere, like when lebron left cleveland, only now its black people leaving all of america. Does america really want that . Do you really want to be without black people . No sports, no music, no more dance moves. You will be on tik tok doing the hokey pokey when we leave. Good luck going viral with that shit trevor if black people leave america, where will they go . Anywhere. Maybe a country that doesnt have Police Brutality. Theres japan, theres new zealand, theres whats the white one norway. You can go to norway. You know what . I dont think i should go to norway because i think winter is brutal. Thats a whole different type of brutality to black people. Well just go to japan. When we leave america, well get ourselves there. We dont need you offering no boat rides. Not falling for that no more. Travel vouchers only. If youll excuse me, trevor, i need to check on the the 50,000 business cards i ordered that says n. B. A. On it. See if i can get those canceled. Hey, whats up, man . Yeah, i need you to cancel the od order. Trevor all right, well, thank you, roy. Time for us to take a short break.

You know, with states opening up and people protesting in the streets, a lot of the public feel like coronavirus is over. The only problem is nobody told coronavirus. Americas covid 19 pandemic has passed another terrible milestone, as of this morning, more than 2 million americans have tested positive for the coronavirus, more than 112,000 of them have died. The head of harvards Global Health institute said yesterday the u. S. Death toll could reach 200,000 in september. Earlier this week, 16 states reported an increase in average new covid 19 cases compared to two weeks ago. At least 14 states have seen a rise in current hospitalizations since memorial day, including texas, where hospitalizations jumped 42 . In arizona, Hospital Capacity is at 83 . State data shows the usage of ventilators, i. C. U. Beds and intubations at alltime highs. Trevor you know, i cant say this for certain because im not like a scientist, but i feel like coronavirus grew up with a father who never loved it because, right now, its working really hard to prove itself. I mean, 200,000 deaths by september . Coronavirus is attacking america so hard, half of the countrys going to want to put up a statute of it. Look, there are many reasons americans are taking the pandemic less seriously, but one of those reasons might be the fact that the people running the country barely seem to be thinking about it any more at all. They havent held a Coronavirus Press conference to update the public in weeks. I dont know where the country officially stands. Do you . Are we winning . Are we losing . Can we go back outside . Can we sneeze on the buffet again . Whats happening . Doesnt help that just yesterday the head of the Coronavirus Task force did this. Vice president mike pence deleted tweet showing staff deleting coronavirus recommendations. He reposted showing Trump Campaign staffers with no social distancing or face masks, that despite these are the recommendations of the Coronavirus Task force led by pence. Trevor you see, this is the problem how do you expect the public to take shings seriously when you yourself are not taking it seriously. You tell people to wear masks but you dont, you tell people to social distancing but youre crammed together like the tiny fish inside the can. The fish. You know the fish. Theyve got the smell. The the on the tip of my tongue. You know what im talking about, because its clear to see americas battle sardines youre packed together in a room like sardines ha look, the point is americas botched Coronavirus Response is just one of the reasons that 74 of americans novel like the country is on the wrong track, and i dont blame them. Police are beating up protestors in the streets. Millions of people are unemployed. And georgia couldnt even hold a primary election without making people wait in lines for hours. Clearly, american democracy is failing, which means theres only one thing to do. What if i told you about a country in crisis. A country ravaged by disease. Where the economy has collapsed. Where soldiers patrol the streets. A government that gases its own people. And lines to vote are longer than the bathroom line at coachella. What if i told you that country is america. Admit it, america is a failed state. America needs a return to democracy. If theres one thing america knows, its when a country needs democracy, you invade it. Its time for someone to invade the United States. Specifically canada. Thats right. Were asking the good people of canada to invade us. Please. Please. Please invade us. Please invade us. For the love of god what do yall pray to, a moose . Were not asking for a donation, were asking for an invasion. Some of our states are already basically canadian minnesota, maine, the nondetroit parts of michigan. Were right next to you. Just invade us for the weekend and see if you like it come on no new language to learn. Its english and with a slightly more normal accent. To my fellow americans, why would we not want canada to invade us . Well have racism but it will be polite, with a small. Canada, we apologize for making fun of you so much. Were so soory yall make it easy were just jealous of your healthcare system. Bring that with you we did great under the last black president , were willing to try yours on top of that, i want to ~bleep canadian. We want to. If youre waiting to see canadas military zambonis roam the streets of our nation. Go to dailyshow. Com invadeus and share with your friends. If enough of us ask politely, they cant say no. Trevor come on, canada, your time to shine. When we come back, i talk to legendary director spike lee about da 5 bloods. Stick around. Incomparable design makes it beautiful.
