To come. Trevor yesterday was the start of the Republican National convention, the first and only time donald trump has renewed his vows. Going into the convention. I thought it would be tough for donald trump to sell himself for another four years mostly because, you know, we live in a hellscape where 180,000 people have died and we cant go to a movie or hug our grandparents. But then i watched the convention, and, guys, it turns out donald trump has actually done a really good job by preventing all of that from happening. From the very beginning, democrats, the media and the World Health Organization got coronavirus wrong. One leader took Decisive Action to save lives. President donald trump. The president quickly took action and shut down travel from china. Donald trumps quick action and leadership saved thousands of lives during covid 19. President trump truly moved mountains to save lives, and he deserves credit. Just imagine what 2020 would have looked like, fighting for your life without donald trump fighting for it, too. Trevor imagine what 2020 would have been like without trump. Hey, do you want to eat dinner inside a restaurant . School kool see you then. Youre right. That would have sucked. Theyre trying to convince everyone that this massive failure is actually massive achievement, which is not something normal people do when they apply for a job. I see on your resume here it says that you crashed a car into duncan donates. Yeah, dude, but it would have been, like, a lot worse if joe biden was driving, and its especially crazy, considering that, at the last r. N. C. , all they talked about was the four dead americans in benghazi, but now theyre acting like trump did a great job by only having 45,000 ben gassies. What . I guess its true. Without trump taking any action, millions more americans could have died. So good on republicans for seeing the glass of bleach half full. But trumps failure with coronavirus is only one perception that republicans need to change at their convention. Another one is that the g. O. P. Is a wop, a whiteass party. Last night the party show cased their diversity by giving speaker slots to all four of americas black trump suppers. I dont know what theyll do the rest to have the week. Tim scott has spoken, so theyll have to bring him back on wednesday with a fake mustache, its me, and i also support donald trump. One of the speakers went further and declared the real racists are the democrats. You may be wondering why is a lifelong democrat speaking at the Republican National convention . And thats a fair question. And heres your answer the Democratic Party does not want black people to believe their mental plantation. We have been forced to be there for decades and generations. But i have news for joe biden, we are free, we are free people with free minds. Trevor so let me get this straight when other groups organize and vote by their interests, they get a fancy name like voting blocs, but when black people do it you get told youre acting like an extra on roots . Why is it that people say you should be a free thinker and have a very specific set of instructions on how to think. Allthink for yourselves ill vote for a democrat. No, think for yourself, votee a republican. I dare you to try and brainwash a black woman, you will come out joining her cult. Im in her cult. This argument is especially confusing coming from this dude because hes saying the democrats are trying to enslave you, also im a lifelong democrat. Thats every confused meme on the internet at once. Does that mean hes keeping his own voters on the mental plantation . I feel like i need to watch 12 years a mental slave to understand what the ~bleep hes talking about. To be fair, its not that the r. N. C. Completely denied the existence of racism in america, they just think racism is a less systemic problem and more of a personal obstacle on the way to an inspirational triumph. Two of their best speakers actually came from people who have made that exact journey. America is not a racist country. My father wore a turban. My mother wore a sari. I was a brown girl in a black and white world. We faced discrimination and hardship, but my parents never gave in to grievance and hate. My grandfathers 9th 9th birthday would have been tomorrow. He suffered the indignity of being forced out of school as a third grader. Yet, he lived long enough to see his grandson become the first africanamerican to be elected to both the United States house and the United States senate in the history of this country. Our family went from cotton to congress in one lifetime. Trevor look, whatever you think about neck nikki haley anm scott, you cant deny they have inspiring stories. But heres the thing about them using their stories to show how exceptional america is. Haley and scott are literally the exceptions. The fact that tim scott is one of the only black senators and nikki haley was one of the only minority governors is if anything an argument for the existence of systemic racism in america not against it. Imagine being the sole survivor of a plane crash and looking at the wreckage and saying, wow, i wish all the other passengers could have persevered and overcome the crash like me, shout out to boeing if america didnt have a racism problem, their achievements wouldnt be a big deal. Getting elected as a minority should be as easy as mailing a letter. What i want is a world where a black man becoming a senator isnt inspirational. Thats when black people would have really made it e, where theres a black senator who said my dad was a c. E. O. And his billionaire friend started a super pac so i guess im here now. Theres only one speaker anyone at the Republican National convention wants to hear from is donald Jerry Falwell trump. Sorry to say the present didnt speak in prime time last night but we got a speech from don, jr. Who turned the convention into an infomercial. My fathers entire world view revolves around the idea we can always do even better. Imagine the life you want to have, one with a great job, a beautiful home, a per feck family, you can have it. Imagine the country you want to live in, one with true, week alopportunity, you can have it. Heroes are sphwraitd and the good guys can win, you can have it. That is the life, that is the country, that is the world that donald trump and the Republican Party are after, and, yes, you can have it. Trevor honestly, put your hating aside. You have to admit don, jr. Would make a great motivational speaker, and not in the traditional way where he inspires you with quotes, more like in a way where people can look at him and say, that guy can run a giant company and speak at a major convention, that guy . Imagine what i can do if i can put my mind to it. Also, the donald trump has been president for almost four years, then why do we have to imagine how great life could be if he was president. Trumps presidency is like your 48yearold cousins deejay career if its not successful by now, its not going to be. But if don, jr. Couldnt get you on board with his vision of america, maybe your tv volume wasnt loud enough, in which case Kimberly Guilfoyle turned it up for you. Do you believe in america greatness . Believe in yourself, in President Trump his promise was to put america first, and he has President Trump believes in you he emancipates and lifts you up to live your American Dream you are capable, you are qualified, you are powerful and you have the about to choose your life and determine your destiny ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for creating liberty and the American Dream, the best is yet to come trevor does that seem kind of loud to anyone . shouting first of all, i want to wish a speedy recovery to anyone listening on headphones. Im praying for you. I guess we found the one person sign whro signed up for Rudy Giulianis master club. America trevor you know when youre at a party and the music turns off and all of a studden youre talking too loud . Thats basically what guilfoyle did for an entire speech. Aside from the speech being so loud canada called the cops, the content was ridiculous. Donald trump believes in me . I dont want to be in that group. Those were the big speeches, a fullthrowed defense of the idea that theres nothing americans cant do if they put their minds to it. Although, there was also another big idea running through the whole night which is that the one thing americans wont be able to overcome is joe biden, who will leave the country a permanently smoking ruin. Joe biden and the radical left are coming for our freedom of speech. Thraipt to destroy this country, they want to steel your liberty, your freedom. You will not recognize your country or yourself. They want to abolish the suburbs altogether no matter where you live, your family will not be safe. The vengeful mob that seeks to destroy our way of life. The party that wants to burn down the foundation of you are country to the ground. Crime, violence and mob rule. Theyll disarm you, empty the prisons, lock you in your home and invitemost13 olive next door. With no hope of escape except death itself. Trevor good god, im terrified and confused because if joe biden gets infected,most13 whether move in next door but we wont live there because well be kicked out of the suburbs, and if we try to go to church the democrats will call the cops, but there wont be cops because they defunded the police, so well have to take ourselves to prison, but there wont be prisons because they let everyone out, and the democrats will have guns, and we can fight with our words but cant because words have been canceled i dont know what it means damn that was a terrifying evening heres the thing that i dont think republicans understand its hard to scare people about the damage joe biden could do after the damage donald trump has already done. Joe biden could destroy your way of life dude, how much worse could shit get . By the way, this is a lesson for the democrats because they spent four days of their convention pitching a return to flormle si and bringing republicans into their tents. It didnt count for shit. The r. N. C. Is still saying joe biden is basically Joseph Stalin with a better smile. But that was night one of the r. N. C. And basically, the party made sure that they had something for everyone for people who feel the country is in kay joes, trump will make it better. For people who think things are going fine, you have trump to thank. If youre a my knotert trump is a bump to the suburbs. If youre scared, trump will keep them out. Hard of hearing, Kimberly Guilfoyle will help you. Taking a quick break. When we come back, well catch up on the trees, russians and hot sex lives of americas most devout evangelicals. So stick get extra napkins when you order a hotandjuicy quarter pounder. A normal amount of napkins, just wont do. Ba da ba ba ba [bag crinkling] welcome to our land hey sorry about your hand but its better in here, ya its fun in here trolli, trolli, trolli trolli. I get plan b onestep. It helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. And it wont hurt my chances of getting pregnant in the future. You can get it right off the shelf. Over prepared . Maybe. Confident . Definitely. Ive got this. And a touch of leantioxidant elation. , clean caffeine, sweet like me, give your mouth a standing ovation trevor welcome back to the daily distancing show. It is night two of the Republican National convention, but it is also night infinity of Everything Else thats going on. So lets catch up on all the other news in our unconventional checkup. Lets begin with russia. Its like if a frown was a country. For years, only one prominent politician has had the courage or stupidity to stand up to the autocratic ruler Vladimir Putin. But for putin, that was apparently one too many. Doctors in germany say a critic of Russian Vladimir Putin was likely poisoned. Remember, doctors in siberia blamed alexei flay validys illness in a drop in blood sugar. He was in an induced coma. Supporters believe somebody poisoned his tea before he got on a flight in rust. For the past several years, other kremlin critics have been involved in apparent poisoning or suffered mysterious death. Trevor thats right, russias most prominent dissident was poisoned at the airport. That means it was either Vladimir Putin or he ate the food at la guardia. Either way, we need a full investigation. Lets be real, it was most probably Vladimir Putin. The man uses so much poison, i wouldnt be surprised if hes in the poison aisle in costco the 24 pack or 36 in . The russian doctors didnt diagnose this as a poisoning. Though maybe thats how they teach it in russian medical school. This dissident drank tea. He a has a case of the sleepies. Happens to people who dont keep their mouth shut. It must be terrifying to be in a country where the leaders try to poison opposition candidates. So much better to be in a country where they can do it by shutting down the post office. American democracy isnt defeated yesterday because yesterday democrats in Congress Called louis dejoy to get answers about whats going on with the usps. Louis dejoy defending recent changes to the u. S. Posers postl service ahead of the election. He was at times combative. Dejoy acknowledged a lack of familiarity with basic aspects of the postal service. You dont know the cost to mail a postcard . I dont. What about a greeting card thats a square envelope. Then whats the postage. Ill submit i know very little about a postage stamp. Within a million or so, can you tell me how many people voted by mail in the last president ial election . No, i cannot. To the nearest 10 million . chuckled is that a no . I would be guessing and i dont want to guess. Trevor im glad you know the price to have the stamp, but i am concerned about your understanding of this agency. Trevor goddam. Weve got the worst person to bring to a trivia night. Okay, the next question is what do you call the box that you put mail in. Oh, my god thank god weve got the post master generallen our team. What do you think, dejoy . Oh, i know this one, theyre blue. Oh, im taking them away oh, i should know this in a way, this is refreshing to watch. Were so used to see guys man splaining well, actually its refreshing to say, you tell me, lady, i dont know shit. Moving on to Jerry Falwell, jr. , president of Liberty University. Falwell has been a fixture of the Christian Conservative movement for 15 years. Since following his famous father into the family business. But now all of a sudden hes not. Breaking overnight influential evangelical leader,r Jerry Falwell, jr. Is out as president of Liberty University after a tumultuous date where his fate lurched back and forth after two weeks ago he posted a photo on social media showing he and a woman with their pants unbuttoned. Questions about Jerry Falwell, jr. s leadership in Liberty University in virginia come after Giancarlo Granda claimed he had a years long sexual relationship involving fallwomans life and the evangelical leader. Giancarlo granda said he was in his 20s when he met the falwells in march of 2012. He said their relationship continued till 2018 and involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on. Trevor lets start out, what consensual adults do in their sex life and its up for them. I dont judge anybody for anything. You do whatever tickles your exposed fly. But falwell has made it his business to judge everyone else. He speaks out against gay relationships and until five years ago, students at his university werent allowed to do anything beyond Holding Hands or even watch rrated movies. Meanwhile hes apparently let this pool boy check his wifes color nation levels. Sometimes i think guys like this are reading different bibles to the rest of us because the bible i read says to love thy flab and judge not lest you be judged first. But this guy is, heres something you can do is hot. Nothing is more dangerous to a relationship than a sexy pool boy. Thats why i only use a pool cleaning robot. I still try to smash the thing but its not interested. Finally, fires sweeping california. The firefight continues for firefighters in Northern California where three major wildfires are burning in the bay area. Two of the fires are the second and Third Largest ever recorded in california. In one week the fires scorched more than 1. 2 million acres, the area the size of rhode island. California has seen roughly 600 new wildfires pop up in the last week, a combination of hot, dry weather and 12,000 lightning strikes. This is big basin redwoods, devastated by flames. Many of the luge massive redwood trees survived despite being burned. Trevor its such a relief most to have the red wood trees survived the fire. I like how they mentioned many of the fires are the size of rhode island. Three things are certain, death, texas and a california fire compared to the size of a random state because were all terrible at math. We have 1. 2 million acres of wildfire, two hurricanes in a week and a pandemic raging across america. I dont know if those are signs from god but if i was Jerry Falwell, jr. I would maybe stick to cold showers for a few weeks. When we come back, roy wood, jr. And desi lydic host the hot new game show that you might be playing against your will. So stick around.
