COM The Daily Show With Trevor Noah July 12, 2024

Announcing that theyre getting rid of the 130yearold aunt jemima brand famous for pancake mixes, maple syrup, and other breakfast foods. In a statement to nbc news, quaker oats writing in part, we recognize aunt jemimas origins are based on a racial stereotype. While work has been done over the years to update the brand in a manner intended to be appropriate and respectful, we realize those changes are not enough. Trevor thats right, after 130 yearsing it officially time to pour one out for aunt jemima. Dont worry. I put pancakes on the floor. Now, if you dont understand the big deal is, aunt jemima, from the beginning, was a classic slave mammy stereotype who got her name from an old blackface minstrel character. And although the company has tried to strip away the most racist stuff over the years people still associate aunt jemima with ads like this one from 1945, where aunt jemima is saying lawsee folks sho whoops with joy over aunt jemima pancakes. So, yeah, those ads were so racist, trump going to appoint one to attorney general. Its also amazing that the brand knew that aunt jemima was racist, and instead of just changing tthey chose to instead slowly phase out the racism over time. That is so ridiculous. Imagine you caught you partner cheating, and instead of stopping, they said, yeah, youre right, baby, this is so wrong. Im going to slowly start phasing out my affairs. From now on, sex, just hand stuff. But i guess thats how powerful racism is they can use it to sell food. Do you think black people are less than human . Well, then youll love these flapjacks but lets move on, because as weve all learned yet again over the past few weeks, the worst racism isnt in your breakfast. Its often what happens when you leave the house. And for people who are worried about getting harassed by the police, theres an app that might not be able to stop it but can at least make sure everyone finds out about it. Amid widespread protests and anger over Police Brutality, an iphone shortcut that allows users to automatically record their interactions with the police is gaining popularity. After installing the shortcut, all you have to do is say, hey, siri, im getting pulled over, and opens your frontfacing camera and starts a video recording and sends a message to somebody you designate as a contact. Once you stop recording, it sends the message to that contact and allows you to sen it to your icloud or dropbox. Trevor hell, yeah, siri. I always knew you were an ally. Did you say find local bowling alleys . Trevor goddamn it. I hate you. Now, obviously, this is a helpful tool for many, many people. But the fact that this app is even necessary just shows you how widespread this problem is. I mean, its 30 years after rodney king, and the only thing thats basically changed is that the cameras are smarter. In fact the cops have released their own app. When they start to pull over a black person, their body cam automatically malfunctions. In other news, while most of the planet has been focused on fighting racism and fighting coronavirus, deep in the himalayas, china and india have decided they also want to fight each other. Two Nuclear Powers are facing off in a remote corner of the himalayas. And now officials from china and india are scrambling to try to ease tensions. On monday, soldiers from both countries fought on disputed land, and the indian side lost around 20 soldiers, and thats prompted anger in several cities. You see people here stomping on chinesemade products, others burned an effigy of the chinese president. Trevor okay, im sorry but, china and india, you guys need to cool off. This is not the time. We cannot handle a world war right wow. Were already dealing with too many things coronavirus, economies are tanking, global protests are happening, and at any minute, more hollywood actors could release one of those black and white videos. I take responsibility. Now, this dispute between china and india is about where exactly a remote border in the himalayas should be, and theyve been arguing about this part of the border for 50 years. It isbasically what most beefs between countries come down to every country is basically just a kid in the back of a car, trying to claim as much of the middle seat as they can. I dont know if i would be fighting for that land anyway. Its in the himalayas. Whoever gets it is still going. To be stuck dealing with asshole mountain climbers for a thousand years. Yeah, china, you might push out india, but youre never getting rid of brock. And speaking of war, President Trump is aiming all of his twitter fingers at his former National Security adviser and cartoon owl, john bolton. Tonight, a new twist in the president s rift with his former National Security adviser john bolton. The Justice Department is suing him to block publication of his tellall book scheduled to be released next week. I will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified. And if the book gets out, hes broken the law, and i would think that he would have criminal problems. If youre a publisher, if youre an author, you have a book coming out, your dream is to have the president attacking you. What was the result of that . The book is number one on amazon. Trevor donald j. Trump has to be one of the most shortsighted people in history. Of course the book is number one on amazon now because youre trying so hard to keep it locked up just makes more people want to read it. as trump nobody should ever read these hot, hot secrets, especially on page 32. You dont wanna see those. Dont look, nobody should look. The understand why trump is so scared. Already, the stuff thats been leaking out of this book is pretty wild. Bolton says that trump openly asked china to help him win reelection, and constantly twisted american policy to help himself politically, which i think could severely damage trumps reputation with greg, you know, greg, the one remaining guy who didnt believe that yet, but was still open to the possibility. Bullshit from john bolton, because he could have testified in the senate trial, but instead, his warning is coming in the form of a memoir six months later. Who sees their country in terrible danger from an unhinged president and goes, i need to warn the people chapter one. I was born on a bright autumn day in 1948. And by the way, while trump is fighting off this book, hes also the subject of another tellall book by his own niece. Yeah, apparently, trump is considering suing her as well, because, like all normal families, his niece signed an n. D. A. In 2001. And i cant even begin to imagine how awkward thanksgiving is going to be for the trump family. Can you imagine that vibe . Trump is going to be like, im not sitting next to mary, not after what she wrote about me the other seat is next to eric. Okay, mary, lets talk this thing out. All right, i gotta go pick up my egg mcmuffin meal. When we come back, well catch up on all the major coronavirus developments around the world. Stay tuned. If people get away with breaking the law, it incentivizes others to do the same. Then you are engaging in rampant lawlessness, chaos, and tyranny, not allowed in a democracy which upholds rules of law. Supporting these protesters that are breaking the law. These people should be arrested. They act like animals in the street. I dont see many lawful demonstrations. Stopping regular traffics on sidewalks in front of buildings that is not lawful demonstrations. And they should enforce it. These thugs, they all should be locked up, thrown in jail for any type of crime. I dont care how little it is. Put them in jail. Forget politically correct garbage that everybody talks about. President trump upsets todays ill liberal elites when he tweets things like, law and order. Law and order is what all of our citizens deserve. If people broke the law, they have to be held accountable, because if we just allow that to happen, then we invite that type of crime in the future. Thats why the rule of law matters. I think its very obvious that the two clintons are completely pathological, and in some ways, its a real pit they the law keeps giving them a pass, allowing them to stay one step ahead of the posse, because it sends them the message that they are literally above the law. The crimes that were committed before, during, and after benghazi, the things that really she ought to be held account for. When it was happening, nothing was done about it, and afterwards they had to lie to cover up their tracks. This is definitely a sea change. We have rolled out teams across our network, and we went from essentially no televisits to approaching 5,000 visits a day. These visits are surprisingly intimate.

Now, you may remember that the reason im shooting the show in my apartment is not because i forgot to pay the utility bill at the studio, but because coronavirus shut down the planet. And although the coronavirus devastated the globe, some countries managed to beat it, which gave the rest of us hope, countries like new zealand, the canada of australia. They had been celebrating because they had completely gotten rid of coronavirus, but then this week, they discovered that even they cant go back to normal just yet. After more than three weeks of no new cases of covid19 in new zealand, with authorities believing the country had managed to eliminate the virus, the ministry of health today announced two new cases. They are both women who had traveled from the u. K. Via australia. Its a major blow for the country that has aggressively tackled the virus. Only last week, new zealand lifted almost all domestic coronavirus restrictions. Trevor oh, no new zealand, you made the classic zombie movie mistake when youre in the house and everything is fine, and someone knocks on the door, you do not let that person in because when you open that door, its going to be a zombie, or a jehovahs witness. Either way, dont open the door. Either way, its described as a major blow to a country. If thats a major blow, america is taking in corona like a guy in an old wind tunnel experiment. I mean, this just goes to show how hard its going to be to defeat coronavirus without a vaccine, because all it takes is one little slipup for all your work to collapse. Its kind of like the game jenga, in the sense that its not fun at all, and i wish it was over. Are you looking to spend 10 minutes nervous but also bored . Try playing jenga. Now, while new zealand is racing to contain these two cases, in the country where this all started, theyre looking at an outbreak that could be a lot worse. China is racing to contain a new outbreak of covid19. After reporting no new infections in beijing for more than 50 days, the virus has returned. Parts of beijing under lockdown again, officials there calling it wartime mode schools closed, transport in and out of the city shut down. There are now more than 100 coronavirus cases linked to beijings xinfadi wholesale market. Health officials scrambling to quickly contact trace, testing an estimated 200,000 people from market workers to recent visitors. Near the area, images seen of hundreds of military Police Deployed to freeze the flow of people. Trevor okay, wait a minute, china is shutting down beijing because of a hundred cases . Either china just takes this way more seriously than everyone else, or theres something theyre not telling us again. Now look, china, i know its embarrassing to have more corona, especially when everyone in the world is blaming you for this thing. But you need to be honest with us about whats happening, because you saw what secrets did the last time one minute it was a few cases in wuhan, and the next thing you know, were all making face masks out of our roommates underwear. Now, there is some good news in the battle against covid9. Researchers at oxford say that a common steroid thats been around for 60 years can dramatically reduce the risk of death in severely ill corona virus patients. Basically, scientists are just doing the same thing you do at home when youre sick, and you just go through your medicine cabinet tring random stuff to see if itll work. Hm, does peptobismol cure herpes . Its worth a shot and in another big research development, experts are now confident that the virus mostly isnt spread by touching surfaces or brief outdoor contact. Instead theyre saying theres a consensus that most spreading comes from closeup, persontoperson interactions for extended periods, and crowded events where people are talking loudly. So basically, this is good news for us. So, basically, the total nightmare scenario for catching coronavirus would be like, i dont know, a big crowded, indoor event where thousands of people are packed together, screaming and chanting about locking someone up. But, luckily, no one would do such a thing. Speaking of no one, President Trump and his administration have come under fire for not encouraging americans to take this pandemic seriously, which is unfortunate, because the pandemic is still taking america very seriously. This morning, recordbreaking oneday increases, arizona, florida and texas all reporting their largest oneday increases in new covid cases. They are among 20 states that have seen the number of newly reported cases grow over the last two weeks. Both President Trump and Vice President pence, however, are yet again downplaying the seriousness of the outbreak, blaming testing for the climbing numbers. And i can tell you on covid or coronavirus, or whatever you want to call it plenty of names tremendous progress is being made. A lot of cases that other countries who dont even test dont have. If you dont test, you dont have any cases. If we stopped testing right now, wed have very few cases, if any. Trevor okay, technically, trump is right. If you dont test anybody, then you dont have any cases. The same way if black people stopped recording the cops, we would have zero cases of Police Brutality. Ah, ignorance is bliss. You know what the problem is here, th problem is trump thinks of coronavirus as a p. R. Issue and not as a pandemic. Hes less concerned with fixing coronavirus ask more concerned with fixing how coronavirus makes him look, which probably explains those pictures he brought to yesterdays press conference. I mean, yeah, it looks better, but it doesnt help. Now, if all of this seems a little like deja vu to you, youre not losing your mind. China is saying the virus is completely under control, but at the same time, theyre shutting down one of their largest cities, and the u. S. Is seeing a surge in many states, and yet trump is claiming everything is under control. So, the bad news is the world might be going down a path weve already been down. Its happening all over again the good news is, that means i know the winning lottery numbers im going to go play that shit right now. Dont go away, because after the break, well be talking to the president of the Human Rights Campaign alphonso david, and matt ryan, quarterback for the atlanta falcons.
