Day one of the Democratic National convention and if you didnt have time to watch, well bring you the highlights, as promised. So lets do this, people. Welcome to the daily distancing show implete from trevors couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, the daily distancing show presents the Democratic National convention, elected americas first black president s friend. Trevor now, every convention is not just about officially picking the nominee. Its also about telling a story about what the party represents. From the getgo last night, it was clear the democrats were trying to portray themselves as the party of diversity, unity and also patriotism. The show kicked off with people of every race, ethnicity and gender reciting the constitution, then the pledge of allegiance, then singing the national anthem, after which they were ominously trapped inside an american flag. Im assuming the only way to set them free is by electing joe biden president. Its clear why the democrats have to lay the patriotism on so thick because between protesting Police Brutality and kneeling during the anthem, the republicans are tried to make it seem democrats dont love america just because they criticize it. I get why democrats are trying to fight that perception, but if i want t to be honest, you will never beat trump when it comes to symbolic patriotism. Youre seeing an anthem but anytime trump sees a flag he tries to ~bleep the ~bleep out of it. Everyday americans, from the swing state of pennsylvania to the other parts of pennsylvania, Business Owners talked about struggles with covid and trump voters talked about why they stopt supporting them and thencies tink racism. One of the powerful moments in the show came from a woman whose trump supporting father died from covid 19. I am one of the many who lost a loved one to covid. My dad should be here today, but he hasnt. He had faith in donald trump. He voted for him, listened to him, believed him and his mouthpieces when they said that coronavirus was under control and going to disappear. My dad went to a karaoke bar with his friends. A few weeks later, he was put on a ventilator and after five agonizing days, he died alone. His only preexisting condition was trusting donald trump. One of the last things that my father said to me was that he felt betrayed by the likes of donald trump. Trevor wow. That was absolutely scathing. And shes right. Believing donald trump is truly one of the most harmful things you can do. And that was even before he wasup. Just ask atlantic city, his first two wives or any graduate of Trump University the degree was made of asbestos but after hearing from regular americans, it was time to hear from americas weirdest americans, politicians. One to have the biggest speakers to have the night was republican john kasich, the former governor of ohio and guy whose always moments away from needing the heimlich maneuver. He crossed party lines to warn his fellow republicans about the cost of supporting trump. Americas at a crossroads. Sometimes elections represent a real choice, a choice we make as individuals and as a nation about which path we want to take when weve come to challenging times. America is at that crossroads today. The stakes in this election are greater than any in modern times. Many of us have been deeply concerned about the current path we have been following for the past four years. Its a path thats led to division, dysfunction, irresponsibility and growing vitriol between our citizens. Continuing to follow that path will have terrible consequence force americas soul because were being taken down the wrong road by a president who has pitted one against the other. Hes unlike all of our best leaders before him who worked to unit us to bridge our differences and lead us to a united america. Trevor wow, how creative america is at a crossroads and hes standing at a crossroads. I wonder if that was intentional. Hey, man, im just glad kasich went with a safe metaphor like america was at a crossroads because he could have gone with a much more dangerous one. America is in a flame thats about to crash and the only parachute has been thrown out to have the window wait, maybe this was a bad idea. Understandably, a lot of progressives counterhappy to see the d. N. C. Giving air to a republican who doesnt share values. At the same time, many in the Democratic Party know in order to difeet trump they have to improve the appeal with the crucial states that gave trump the white house in 2018. So if it means teaming up with antirepublicans, so be it. This reminds me of godzilla. You know how we hated godzilla because he smashed our shit . Then gadora showed up and wanted to destroy the entire planet. So we have to team up with godzilla to take out godoro. Who would think we would be with godzilla . But weve got a planet. Sorry, i have been watching weird movies during quarantine. Dont get it twisted kasich may have spoken at the convention, but the prime spots are saved for democratic heavy hitters including Bernie Sanders. Together, we must build a nation that is more equitable, more compassionate and more inclusive. I know that joe biden will begin that fight on day one. Joe supports raising the major to 15 an hour. Joe will rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and fight the three of Climate Change by transitioning us to 100 Clean Electricity over the next 15 years. Gobbled will end the hate and Division Trump has created. Trevor and then we can finally go back to the hate and division that existed before trump. You know, the regular hate and division, not this crazy shit with the red hats and the boats. What the hell is that . Im really impressed with Bernie Sanders because hes doing everything in his power right now to take down donald trump. Not only is he giving a fullthrowed endorsement of joe biden, but the man stayed up until 10 00 to give that speech. Thats not nothing. Bernies point was very clear. He was telling his base that progressives cannot afford to cast protest votes like they did in 2016 because this shit we lived there, this was four years of trump still caring about being reelected. Imagine what he would be like unleashed. Forget pardoning other people. Give an second term, he will be pardoning crime. He will be robbing banks, like, all right, everybody, get on the ground. Pardoned. Put the money on the ground. Pardoned. Maam, i love your boobs. Pardoned. Pardoned. So people across the spectrum needs to unit against donald trump. Im impressed, i mean, a Virtual Convention has never happened before but democrats strung appearances across the country from john kasich in a field to Bernie Sanders. The night didnt go entirely smoothly. Good evening. Im congressman jim clyburn stand by. Good afternoon, im congressman jim clyburn. Hello, america. The price of failure is just too great to imagine. Thank you. applause trevor oh, i see whats going on here. This was smart of the democrats, trying to make it seem like they have the same embarrassing tech issues as regular americans. Very relatable and youve got to feel bad for Bernie Sanders, man an awkwardlytimed applause can ruin any speech, no matter how good it is. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. cheers and applause applause trevor now, the truth is nobody remembers all the glitches and the bad timing because all anybody was talking about today was the democrats closer, former first lady and walking vision board Michelle Obama. I understand that my message wont be heard by some people. We live in a nation that is deeply divided, and i am a black woman speaking at the democratic convention, but enough of you know me by now. You know i tell you exactly what im feeling. You know i hate politics. But you also know that i care about this nation more than 150,000 people have tied and our economy is in shambles because of a virus this president downplayed for too long. Donald trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is. Trevor ooof that was ice cold. And what made it even more devastating was that Michelle Obama wasnt angry, she wasnt yelling, she just stated trumps complete failure as a president as an obvious fact. You know the difference between your mom screamingt at you and your mom casually sipping a coffee going, well, not all kids can be winners. Another thing i appreciated about michelles speech is she didnt shame people. In the last few years, its been standard in politics to shame people who dont agree with you and who dont intend to vote like you. A lot is fueled by toxicity of online culture and a divided country right now, but instead of doing that, michelle acknowledged there are people who dont want to hear what she had to say, and then respectfully engaged with those who might want to listen to her and asked them to back biden. Thats what made her speech brilliant. Its almost unfair that the obama family was blessed with two charismatic or ove or cars. Then you have trump. It wasnt surprising donald trump wasnt as impressed by michelles speech but the reason was surprising. She was over her head and frankly she should have made the speech live which she didnt do, she taped it. It was taped a long time ago because she had the wrong death trevor goddam, that is one of the biggest cell phones i have ever seen. 150,000 dead . Ive killed 20,000 more since then, you idiot hey, herman get a load of this idiot. Herman . Thats how democrats kicked off their convention. If democrats can more speeches like Michelle Obamas then its going to be a matter of time before america disturbance donald trump into donald dumped. applause tough room. Weve got to take a quick break. When we come back, well celebrate the 100th anniversary of white women getting the right to vote. So stick around. I have a new deal for the american people.

Today is the 100th anniversary of american women winning the right to vote. Its an important moment in history and surprisingly donald trump was aware of it. President trump announced a posthumous president ial pardon for susan b. Anthony, arrested and convicted for illegally voting in the 1872 election. I will be signing a full and complete pardon for susan b. Anthony. She was never pardoned. Did you know that . She was never pardoned. What took so long . applause trevor oh so now voting illegally is okay. I mean, look, this is kind of a nice gesture, i guess, but based on what we know about trump, i bet hes only pardoning her because he thinks she has dirt on him. Susan b. Anthony was a great figure in the Womens Suffrage Movement and knows how to keep her mouth shut, great thing. As important as this date is, the passage of the 19t 19th amendment didnt help all women. This month is the 100th an sears of is 19th amendment which gave him the right to vote and pose for i voted stickers. While the 19th amendment was a major victory for white women, the story isnt so simple for black women. The road to the 1st amendment started in 1848 with the seneca falls convention. The first womens meet up in american history. Before that the only time women could gather is to catch a bouquet. I dont use flowers, beverly assuming you didnt sleep through 10th graduate grade history, you probably know elizabeth stanton, lecresia mott and Frederic Douglas got his hair pressed especially for the occasion. But black women wasnt allowed to come. The roster was a bunch of white people and one black guy. Looked like the Mission Impossible movement. Black women were fighting for suffrage throughout the 19t 19th century. Susan p. M. Anthony should be stepping aside to let a black lady shine for once. Mary terrell was incredibly influencel in advancing the cause for womens suffrage and delivered a speech to white activists about intersectional feminism. Seeking no favors because of our color, we knock at the bar of justice asking for an equal chance. Shes a better woman than me. I would have knocked somebody up the side of the head with the bar of justice. At the reel isnt alone. Harriet tubman and others pushed the vote along with mary ann shakerry and harper. Fighting sexism and racism at the same time. You know how hard that is . You cant take your eye off either one for a second. If youre face to face with sexism. Racism will sneak up on you like one of those creatures in jurassic park. Thanks to all this, president Woodrow Wilson endorsed a call for constitutional amendment to legalize womens voting. Susan b. Anthony movement in summary of 1919, and in 1920 tennessee ratified the 19t 19th amendment of the constitution which means all women could legally vote in federal elections and we all lived happily ever after. Lie buckle up, cinderella, because we aint done yet. While white women got to stroll to the polls, black women like black men faced haj observe stacks also throughout the 20th century, poll taxes, literacy test and violence. If america put as much brain power into science as it did to deny black people to vote, we would live in mansions run by robot butlers. Yes, jeeves, i will have another drink. In 1965, president johnson signed the act that outlopped obstruction of voting. But it was harder because they shut down polling stations in black neighborhoods. Even though we know the 19t 19th amendment was worth celebrating, america has work to do to ensure truly equal access to elections. So this august you can celebrate susan bpt anthony but you better support candidates who finally finished the job for everyone. Excuse me. Im about to seduce the postman to make sure he delivers my mailin ballot on time and because hes fine. I see you in those shorts, gerald. Mmhmm. You can get it same day, overnight. Trevor thank you for that, dulce. When we come back, ill be speaking with the one and only common. Stay tuned. Finally the crispiness of ritz and the bold taste of cheese.
