And well talk about the life and legacy of Breonna Taylor. So lets do this, people. Welcome to the daily social distancing show. From trevors couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. Trevor lets kick things off with the bad news. Or as it is known these days, the news. America surpasses 150,000 deaths. The staggering toll with florida, california and texas breaking single day death records. The u. S. Economy shrank at a 32. 9 annual rate in the april, june quarter, the worst quarterly plunge ever. The Labor Department says 1. 43 million americans filed jobless claims last week. Its the second straight week new unemployment claims have risen. Lawmakers are still at odds over another stimulus bill with added Unemployment Benefits expiring tomorrow. Talks are actually going backwards, not forwards, two months after democrats agreed on their plan, republicans still cant seem to agree on what they want. Trevor guys, i dont want to overreact but im starting to worry that trump is not going to make America Great again and i think i could see what the problem is here, guys. See, the economy is cratesserring. But the covid deaths are rising. So clearly what America Needs to do here is just switch the titles on these two charts. See . Now the economy is up, and covid is down. Everything is fine. You know one of the most de pressing aspects of this situation is how badly the republicans are blowing it. Deaths are mounting. Job losses are risk again, benefits are running out tomorrow and they just started to come up with a plan like a few days ago. Like if your government cant help when things are thissed ba, then you dont really have a government. Are you just paying people to watch this shit along with you, it is bad enough millions of unemployment people are about to lose the 600 a week lifeline they have been getting. But in the mean time the coronavirus death toll is still rising by a thousand people every day. And while President Trump has done his best to ignore the victims, this morning the pandemic claimed one of his prominent friends and supporters. This just in to cnn. Trump ally and former u. S. President ial candidate herman cain died after battling coronavirus. Cain attended President Trumps june 20th rally in tulsa. And recently bragged about the president s Independence Day celebration writing quote masks will not be mandatory for the event which will be attended by President Trump. People are fed up. Trevor look, regardless of what herman cain thought about the coronavirus, every loss of life to this disease is tragic. And hopefully this will serve as a wakeup call to a lot of people who shared herman cains mindset. Coronavirus doesnt care about your political party. It doesnt care if you like trump. It doesnt even care if you believe its real. It is real. And it is deadly. So socially distance whenever you can and please wear a mask. You can enwear a mask sarcastically for all i care, look at me, im wearing a mask, im so much safer now, thats fine, just put it on. So with the economy in crisis mode and deaths continuing to soar, obviously this is bad for President Trumps reelection hopes. And today trump came up with a brilliant new strategy for the election. Just dont have one. Fox news alert, some breaking news this hour. A tweet from the white house, President Trump tweeting out a short time ago on the upcoming president ial election. With universal mailin voting, not absentee voting which is good, 2020 will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the u. S. A. Delay the election until people can properly securely and safely vote, question mark. To be very clear the president cannot do that. The constitution is unambiguous about this. That congress, not a president who may have their own selfinterest in mind, gets to decide when the leader of the United States is elected. And to his other point, there is no evidence, of course, of wide spread voter fraud through mailin voting even in states with all mailin votes. Trevor thats right, trump isnt actually allowed to delay the election. Although not being allowed to do something has never stopped him before. Like well still have the election on november 3rd. But he will probably just add a hundred days to august. And sure, maybe the Court Overturns it, but that might not happen until august 73rd. I mean this is an an kurd suggestion, i no he, we cant reschedule the election, for starters, both candidates are like 200 years old, we have to keep things moving. Im not even sure if trump understands what an alarming proposal is, this is basically the move of a dictator. Trump is casually throwing it out with a tweet with a bunch of question marks, be a group text to bail on happy hour. Hey yall, november 3rd is not great, maybe we reschedule to 2021. What do you think . Huh . And just by the way, do you remember a few years ago when i said trump was an african dictator . Yeah, yeah, people acted like i was crazy. But this is how it starts. First they just suggest that maybe you postpone the election. Then they suggest that some of the votes are not valid. And pretty soon theyre saying you know what is really unfair, that there are two political parties, why are there two political parties. Lets just have one. Then you dont have to worry about making all these decisions any more america is mine and oh and by the way, i dont know if you remember but three months ago joe biden predicted that trump would try to delay the election. And this is how trump react offed back then. I never even thought of changing the date of the election. Why would i do that. November 3rd. Its a good number. No, i look forward to that election. And that was just made up propaganda. Trevor oh, i love me some fake trump outrage. How dare you. I wont sink that low for at least three more months. And just by the way, november 3rd is a good number. What does that have to do with anything. Elections arent decided based on whether the date say cool number. If it was, every election what be held on june 9th. But look, regardless of an insane tweet, the chances are that trump will not be able sto move the election which means hes going to have to am could up with a plan to win it the oldfashioned way. By using race. President trump is facing scrutiny for his words about suburbs. He made the comment while housing rule aimed at fighting racial discrimination, as trump works to court white su pur ban voters with. There will be no more lowincome housing forced into the suburbs. I abandoned and took away and just rescinded the rule. The obama era rule forced local governments that receive federal housing funds to assess patterns of racial housing discrimination and submit plans to eliminate it on wednesday the president tweeted im happy to inform all the People Living their suburban lifestyle dreams that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having lowincome housing built in your neighborhood. Your housing prices will go up based on the market. And crime will go down, enjoy. Later in texas the president reaffirming that message. I have seen corn flict for years. Its been hell. For suburbia. We rescinded the rule three days ago, so enjoy your life, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy your life. Trevor okay, first of all suburban lifestyle dream sounds like the worlds lamest katy perry song but in case it wasnt clear. Trump is saying he is going to stop black people from moving too white peoples neighborhoods. I mean its not even subtle enough to call that a dog whistle. Its too loud. More like a dog steel drum. I wont let the black people live near you. Now look, i dont know why having black people move into your neighborhood is a bad thing. But apparently, it is so scary that Trump Campaign has already made it into a horror movie. They were living the dream lifestyle. They thought the high Property Values would never end. Until one day, from the team that brought you migrant caravans comes a whole new fear, what happens when your street goes from suburban to urban. Keep out. This fall. The scariest n word is neighbor. Trevor damn, im black and im still scared. All right, we have to take a quick break but when we come back well tell you about the full story behind the name Breonna Taylor. So stick around.

Hello show. You know as the world caming to over the past few ponts to protest against Racial Injustice the name george floyd has been chanted all over the globe. But theres another name which initially didnt get a lot of attention but has slowly become the kalleing call for people crying out for justice and change. And that name is Breonna Taylor. Public pressure is now mounting, with protests and celebrities speaking out. Breonna taylors life mattered. Do you know what happened to Breonna Taylor. Celebrities from ali wong, Kerry Washington and cardi b saying her name. Do you foe Breonna Taylors story, her whole story. I want her family to know and i want the state of kentucky to know that we feel for her and we want justice. The wnba dedicating the season to social justice. We are dedicating this season to Breonna Taylor, an outstanding emt who was murdered over 130 days ago. For the first time in 20 years Oprah Winfrey is giving up the cover of her o magazine, putting the late Breonna Taylor on it instead. Trevor yes, from lebron james to Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle to the wnba, the tidal wave of sport for Breonna Taylor has been swelling day by day. And this support has even spread to social media platforms like instagram and tiktok which is fan task tu but it also comes with downside, because if you are online you have probably see Breonna Taylor turned in another meme whether it is putting her name on a or mentioning her dead in some caption over a random selfie. And the truth is, this is like a weird amalgam of a fie a few things. You have this relatively new phenomenon of using social media to push for justice and reform which is good. But the downside of that, the downside is social media is a medium that doesnt always use do sincerity as well. It doesnt do selflessness well, it struggles to give it the gravity it de servings. So you have maybe well intentioned people who want to keep the name trending and breonar taylor get social justice but essentially using her name as a punch line. The reason obama didnt today on the show, as painful as it is, i wanted to take the time to either remind people or inform people about the stories breonna tay already. In the as a slogan or post on your social media feed. But as a human being. Breonna taylor, she is more than just a movement, a hashtag or a moment. The 26 year old was an emt working in Emergency Rooms at two hospitals and helping respond to the coronavirus outbreak. She loved to help people. Breonna loved family. She just was she was a very sweet person. And she went out of her way for anybody. 26 and full of life. This is Breonna Taylor. Etched in her familys memory, dancing with friends. Everything going to be all right. Sunging her favorite song, buying her dream car. She loved life, she loved to be around friends and family. She just, she had it figured out. Thats right. Breonna taylors with a friend, a daughter, and emt worker, working to help save peoples lives and apparently one hell of a tiktok dancer. And by the way, its actually nice to see the news covering a black persons death at the hands of plises by using their good pictures, not that one picture that makes us look like we robbed a bank, we know Breonna Taylor was a great person because if she had jay walked once the news would have been like freak jay walker and occasional emt Breonna Taylor was sadly killed by police. So for 26 years Breonna Taylor lived her life to the fullest. But then on a random night out of know where the Louisville Police department turned her into a statistic. On march 13th as breonna and her boyfriend Kenney Walker lay asleep in their bed, plain Clothes Police officers broke down their door using a battering ram, on a no knock drug warrant. Kenney thinking intruders were violently breaking in, grabbed his licensed gun. Walker says they didnt say they were the police before he fired off a shot from a gun. The officers responded with a hail of gunfire. When the door comes off, hinges it happened fast. Like it was like an explosion. Walker said he purposefully aimed his gun towards the ground. Sergeant John Mattingly was strug in the struck in the leg and one of three officers who returned fire. Detective brett hajjinson was standing outside and fired ten roundings through a closed and curtained patio door. According to Louisville Police chief, his blind shooting displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life. The gunshot went through walls, windows, bullet holes were found everywhere, in the kitchen, bedroom, in a Neighbors Department with small children nearby. Multiple neighbors called 911 asking for police, only finding out later it was the police. You know almost every time we hear a story involving a Police Shooting im always shocked at how badly trained and not in control the police seem. Breonna taylors boyfriend was lying in bed, heard his door get smashed in, grabbed his legal fire arm and had the presence of mind to try and injure the intruder by aiming down. But the cops who were supposed to be trained professionals burst in like they get paid by the bullet. And for anyone who has the audacity to blame breonna boyfriend for shooting at the cop, please answer this. If america tells people to get a gun to defend themselves from the intruders but the cops are breaking down the door without knocking, what are you supposed to do. Toll an innocent person there is zero difference of from a no knock raid a and Home Invasion. If someone busts down your door you will think they are intruder, no the no, the cops might be here or uber eats is coming in hot. It would be weird if you didnt use your gun in that situation. I mean if not them, what will you saving it for. To be honest, we shouldnt even be calling these things no knock raids. That gives them too much credit. We should just drop it and cul it what it is, a Home Invasion where police get to act like they are in a video game. The police break down the door without warning. They shoot Breonna Taylor eight times in her own house. And what makes the story even more tragic is that the cops should never have even been in that house in the first place. Police got five warrants approved, four were for suspected drug dealers and suspected drug houses, lumped into that with similar language was the warrant for Breonna Taylors apartment. Under the suspicion she was involved with handling money and drugs for an alleged Louisville Drug dealer, her exboyfriend jamarcus glomplet she hadnt dated glover in months. A Package Police say they saw glover pick up at Taylors Department was likely a pair of shoes according to the family attorney and despite what officers were told before the raid, Breonna Taylor certainly did not live alone. When it was all over, police found no drugs, no money in her apartment. Before going too Breonna Taylors home police were actually warned she would be very little threat if no threat at all. Trevor yeah, they used bogus intel, and they came in guns blazing. Even though they knew she wasnt a threat. Every step. Way this investigation ran, the police screwed up. They made a million mistakes which is a million more than any black person is ever allowed to make. And honestly with the amount of mistakes that the police made throughout the entire process, i dont even know if it is fair to call them mistakes at this point. Because a mistake is something you do by accident. But these cops blatantly ignored so many protocols and so much information, at some point it moves from a mistake to just actively not giving a [bleep]. And bad enough when you learn what these people did in the heat of the moment. But in a way what is even worse is what they did when they had the time to think. Breonna taylor was alive for several minutes after p
