York city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. Lets kick things off with the black lives matter movement. Although you may be hearing less about them than you used to, protests are still going on around the country. In part because Police Brutality is still going on around the country. And the ripple effects of this movement are reaching all aspects of American Life including a longawaited change in the nfl. The Washington Redskins have officially retired the redskins name in indian head logo after 87 years. The Football Team announced the change following recent pressure from spoarnses and decades of criticism that they are offensive to native americans. pe some time due to trademark issues. Lawyer warrior, red wolves and red tails are some of the popular choices among fans on social media. Major retailers already removed redskins apparel from store shelves and websites. Trevor yes, after decades of resisting the Washington Redskins have finally decided to change their name. And look, this is a step in the right direction but it almost feels like dismantling Structural Racism is so difficult that instead america is just crossing off the easier items on its racism to do list. Okay, next item, we got to create an equal and just society. Hmmmm. All right, lets skip that one. What about changing the name of a Football Team and canceling aunt jemima, yeah, that should hold us over for a year. So the old name is officially gron. But now the team is searching for a new name. And i will be honest, i think when it comes to a new name they have to keep it simple, keep it seavment change the name to the washington washingtons. Yeah, its catchy, its easy to remember. And most importantly, it honors one of the greatest americans of all time. My man, ha ha. In other news, former Trump Campaign advisor and man get enically designed to look guilty, roger stone is back in the headlines. Tone stone was about to begin a 40 month sentence for witness tampers, lying to congress and tampering with evidence in the mueller investigation. But it turns out it really does pay to have friends in high places. Tonight the breaking news with president comeulted the prison sentence for his friend of several decades roger stone. Just days before stone was set to begin his more than three Year Prison Sentence the president making his long time friend and ally a free man. The 67 year old promised to never turn on the president. This is what stone howard fineman. He know i was under tremendous pressure to turn on him t would have eased my situation considerably but i didnt. Republican senator mitt romney accuse the president of unprecedented historic corruption. This is bribery pure and simple. A quid pro quo. The president through this come taition is basically saying if you lied for me, if you cover up for me, if you have my back then i will make sure that you get a get out of jail free card. Trevor oh wow. I think trump is going to have to update his campaign chant after this. Lock him up. Unless hes my friend. Then set him free. Seriously, i love you had trump is the law order president when it comes to his enemies or marginalized groups being sent to jail, but as soon as it is one of his friends he becomes a prison abolitionist. The prison system in this country sowt of control. We got to fix it. Roger, get out. All right, problem solved. Back to the way it was. And we all see what happened here, right. Roger stone lied to protect donald trump and in exchange, trump rewarded stone by getting him out of prison. And what is even more amazing is that stones straight up said he deserved a get out of jail free card because he could have turned on trump but he didnt. Like is there any interaction trump has with another person that isnt a quid pro quo. Dad, can you pass the salt . I pass the salt, you disappear. And once again donald trump has exposed the flaws in americas system. Because you can be mad at trump. But america is the one who gave him the oxygen in the first place. If you have the power to release any of your friends from prison and you dont do t then you are a bitch ass friend, i will do t i will release all of my friends, you know who should be angry, the jury, think about t you are on the jury, sitting there for months listening to the testimony, deliberating, sitting in the tiny room eating the shitty sand wimps and verdict is tossed out because the guys could accomplice happens to be the president i dont know why people get lawyers, you are better off spending time in the court room kissing trumps ass, that is what it should be. Just trump in the chair with his back turns and if your compliment stion good enough he smashes the bult and you are frees. Moving on to coronavirus. The only thing in 2020 that still hasnt been canceled. Yesterday new york city recorded zero covid19 deaths for the First Time Since march. And thats truly amazing news, guys. Because if this continues, then hopefully new yorkers can get back to dying from their usual things. You know, like being kicked in the throat by a subway dancer. But unfortunately, across the rest of america, things are worse than ever. Breaking news tonight, staggering numbers out of florida. More than 15,000 covid cases confirmed in just one day. Miami dade hospitals are at 94 icu capacity with the mayor confirming six are now full. If the Sunshine State were its own country, it would rank fourth highest in the world for new covid cases. In texas confirmed cases continue to climb. Nearly 6,000 reported today. Hard hit michigan now seeing an yup tick in cases after hundreds attended july 4th parties. We see the stunning images of testing linings stretching for miles. Thousands waiting weeks for results in arizona, some labs facing a 30 day back log, 13 states are reporting testing problems. Trevor you know, i dont know what is worse, honestly. The fact that so many states reopened too early or the fact that they are now facing problems that should have been solved months ago. Surging cases, ppe shortages, testing back logs, these are all the same problems america was dealing with back in march. So clearly other than coronavirus getting a summer tan, nothing has changed. At least they saw what happened in new york. They saw it happen here months ago. They had time to prepare. And they are still not handling it right . You know in a horror movie when the teenagers run upstairs away from the killer instead of running outside, this is like if they didnt eastern run, they just stayed on the couch watching tv, where is darren, hes dead, all right, what is the next episode, at this rate america will solve its testing issues eight or nine months after they have a vaccine. While hospitals are filling up and more people are getting sick, mickey mouse has decided the show must go on. Disney welcomed guests back to the most magical place on earth saturday, the biggest test yet of a Major Corporation opening its doors in the middle of a pandemic. There are strict safety and social distancing protocols. Visitors are required to wear masks and will hear this message. For the health and safety of everything please wear a face covering, wash your handsoff enand thoroughly, cover your mouth and nose when covering and sneezing and maintain physical distancing. Thank you for your cooperation. Trevor basically what were sighing is why are you at disney world dumb ass. Its crazy we are in the middle of a pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands of people and there are still folks out there like life isnt scary enough. Lets go on a roller coaster. I mean look, when my time comes, my time comes. But im going to do all i can to make sure that my obituary doesnt say cause of death, space mountain. And this isnt just dangerous for the visitors think about the risk this poses to the disinto he employees. The safest job they had right now is the one inside a 200 degree rat costume, like what dad is so cheap that this vacation is worth the risk. Honey, its 15 off disney tickets. But harry, isnt there a pandemic right now. 15 off. You go get the kids, im going to load the van. Now mickey mouse isnt the only cartoon character people have been imploring to take the coronavirus a little more seriously. Because for months now people have also been begging President Trump to at least lead by example and wear a mask in public. And for months he has flat out refused. But then this happened. Breaking news, tonight a huge shift for President Trump, wearing a mask in public. Six months into the coronavirus pandemic and President Trump finally wore a mask for the first time in public. He did so while visiting Walter Reed Medical Center this weekend. This image about the president wearing the mask will stick out to a lot of people in the days and weeks ahead. Trevor okay, i dont know about you, but i think this is the day donald trump finally became president. And look, im glad that trump finally put a mask on, but its got to be confusing for his supporters who have been mocking face mask this whole time. I mean to them this must be like seeing trump at a black livers matter march with aoc. An i know that is part of the reason trump resisted wearing the mask so long is because he is selfconscience about his image. That is why he didnt want to do it. So let me go on record as saying President Trump, dont listen to any of the haters out there. Saying you look like a diabetic bane or shredder from the nija turtle all he shreds was cheese, you look great, so please keep wearing the mask. So the good news is that trump finally seems to be catching up to the reality of the pandemic. But you know trump, now he has to pretend that he was doing a great job the whole time which means he has to find someone else to blame for doing a bad job. And will you never guess who he picked. The president and the nations top Infectious Disease doctor are not on speaking terms. Now the white house is trying to discredit dr. Anthony fauci. Fauci now says he hasnt briefed the president in over two months. And hasnt actually seen him at the white house since june 2nd. In a Stunning Development some Administration Officials are treating him like a political rival, releasing what they say is a list of questionable statements by dr. Fauci even though many of them were taken out of context or widely accepted in the early days of the pandemic. Last night mr. Trump fueled the apparent feud between him and dr. Anthony fauci. Dr. Fawmpi is a nice man but he has made a lot of mistakes. Trevor unlike me who is not a very nice man but has never made any mimblaits, donald trump is spending more time trying to defeat dr. Fawmpi than defeating the coronavirus. Can you imagine doing actual Opposition Research about someone on your own team. Its like if ben put out a press release say aring jerry personally sneezes in front of every pint of chunky monkey am dont get tyes twd, im not saying dr. Fauci got nothing wrong, im not saying that, every expert got something whong when covid19 first like when you first start baking bread you dont know how to prepare yeast properlily but after three months baking it you have enough experience to know you can get that shi it t at the store. We are four mopts into the globa pandemic and the leader of the free world just started wearing a mask. The same person think being breechg his lungs and now trying to point his tiny fingers at dr. Fauci. But if you ask me the worse worst part of this is isnt just that the quhows is attaching dr. Fauci but doing it like cowards with leaks to the press. If are you go fog go after someone, at least give them the respect to be up front about it, like this. As the kroafer pandemic rages and cases rise uncontrollably, there is one man to blame, anthony fauci. Fauci says hes a doctor but what doctor doesnt wear a stethoscope, andf he iseay leadd just their assessment when they get new information. We need leaders to whick stick to their gut assessment despite new information. Its going to just disappear. If nawchi cares so much about saving lives why didnt he do anything about the spanish flu. And if he loved americans so much, why is he palling around with suspicious immigrants. Anthony fauci, definitely the only person to blame for this whole situation. Trevor oh boy. I think trump is going to do pretty well against dr. Fauci in november. When we come back, well figure out how schools in america are going to reopen. Yeah, we solved it. Stick around introducing tostitos strips and creamy avocado salsa. Anyways. These strips have got to be their thickest chip yet perfect for dipping in this delicious salsa made with real avocados. Theyre good apart. But even better together. Say what . . Mmmmmm. Alright, pass me some of that green stuff. Fo shizzle. Martha, we talked about this. Tostitos. Get to the good stuff. Sixtytwo thousand seven hundred and ten dollars and thirtyone cents. Sofi allowed me to refinance all of my loans to one low Interest Rate and an affordable monthly payment. And i just feel like theres an end in sight now and that my debt doesnt define me anymore. Sofi is helping me get my money right. These days, its just nice to have something to look forward to. Well, break out the good plates and tell the kids to wash up. Because its sunday dinner, even if it isnt necessarily sunday. Been there, done that. Twice your cousin. From boston. Karen, im just gonna say what everyone here is thinking. You look smokin. Total smokeshow. And they never did find his finger. They had to close the pool for like an hour. I brought a date. Names sam. Dig in. Love is like boston lager. Rich, complex and its over too soon. Right, chrissy . Oh my god. Welcome back to the daily social distancing show, thankers to the coronavirus, the big debate right now is, well, two things. One, is elbow kissing considered cheating, and two, how do you reopen schools. How you can get kids learning again but keep them and their teachers safe . Because kids may not be badly affected by coronavirus, but teachers easily could be. And a lot of people dont know this but teachers have families of their own. Yeah, its true. Mrs. Nicholson didnt sleep in the classroom at night, she had a house and everything. So because of this, schools are trying to come up with different solutions. Some of them have decided to have outdoor classes. But that means that all the pale kids are going to fail, new york city announced it will only have kids coming to class one to three days a week like an ear, nose, throat specialist but then the question is what are parents supposed to do on the days their kids are at home. Some schools in america have decided they will just throw kids into the class really and hope for the best. Sort of like the hunger games except instead of money you get no grand parents. Now President Trump has demanded that all schools open up as normal. And hes even threatening to withhold federal funding from schools that refuse, so just so we are on the same page, he wont touch the police but he will defund the shit out of schools. Lets a agree on that, everybody wants schools to reopen. The question is can it be done safely. And the problem is it doesnt seem like the federal government knows how to make that happen. For instance, heres betsy devos, secretary of education and your new stepmom who immediately sent you to fat camp trying to explain the administrations plan. What are experts telling you about the appropriate level of transmission for a school before it has to shut down . Well, i know that that is an area that the cdc is helping to provide further inside into. I cant as a nonphysician or a nonmedical expert tell you precisely what to do in the case of one child in a classroom or five children in a classroom. To be able to. Just to be clear are you saying in areas where there are flairups that schools should revert to Remote Learning . Im saying that schools should have plans. Trevor like i treully dont understand how these bailouts for airlines, free money for the banks but when it comes to schools they are just like here say can of lie sol, good luck. I will be honest, at this point i dont understand why anybody is a teacher in america. You are underpaid, are you overworked. You have to deal with School Shootings and now this . With like i dont know, maybe betsy devos master plan is to just hope that the School Shooters kill the coronavirus and the problems just cancel each other out. Because i dont understand what else she is thinking. America cant just open schools because other countries have opened schools. Those countries got coronavirus under control first. One comes because of the other. It is like when i was growing up, i really wanted jordans, i really wanted jordans. But i didnt realize that all my friends had jordans because thrair parents had disposable income. I didnt understand the link. So that didnt stop me from trying to have what my friends had, and you know what happened, i kept on pushing and pushing until my birthday, i got a pair of gordons, the official shoe of gored an ramsey, for more on how to reopen schools, i am joined by a man who has been repeatedly fired as a substitute teacher, michael kosta, what is going on, kosta. Its great, trevor, it took me a month but i finally got rid of all of those fireworks hi laying around. Trevor wait, that was you, dude, i couldnt sleep were going to talk about this laterment but right now the big issue in america is how can the country reopen schools safely. Yeah, well, the good news, trevor, is that i have a solution that works out for everybody, okay. So check this out. One, we know parents want their kids out of the house. And two, we know children are less susceptible to corona, so why dont we solve both problems at once, lets send children to work at meat packing plants. Think about it. The kids stay busy and we get all the Chicken Nuggets that god blessed us with, youre welcome. Trevor holdon, kosta, you want children to spend the school day meat packing. So you are trying to bring back child labor . Please, trevor, child labor never went away. We just outsourced it to different countries. I want to bring those american jobs back home. Trevor respectfully i dont think you can just eliminate the school system. Why not . You only go to s
