But its still not enough. Thats r5ght, i wont be satisfied until black people get 100 of the nominations. Yeah, you heard me. Were coming for you white people. In fact, we want every role to be played by black actors. I wont be happy until kevin hart is playing Queen Elizabeth in the crown. Is let me tell you something, prince charles. We at the daily show are extra grateful. Once again we were nominated so to you, the viewers i want to thank you so much. Without you, there would be no show, and no one would be tweeting me to criticize my apartmentica cor. But lets move on to the ongoing tensions between the United States and china. First, there was a fierce battle over trade. Then the u. S. Began blaming china for the coronavirus. And last week, the state department expelled chinese diplomats from a consulate in texas, claiming that they were using it for spying, which then caused china to shut down an American Embassy in response all of that is the diplomat equivalent of unfollowing each other on instagram. So with all of that going on, its no surprise that this story has people freaking out. Now to a growing mystery surrounding unsolicited packages of seeds randomly being sent to americans across the country. Agriculture officials are warning residents if you didnt order the seeds, do not plant them. The packages appear to have originated in china. Trevor okay, this is really bizarre. People all across america are getting unexpected packages of seeds in the mail from china. And whats even weirder is that some people might actually be planting them . Who just gets an unexpected packet of seeds in the mail and goes, well, i wasnt planning on planting any mystery vegetables in my backyard, but now it would be rude not to havent people learned anything from jack and the beanstalk . You cant just go around planting random shit people give you, because then, before you know it, youre climbing up a giant beanstalk into the sky, and then youre killing a giant. And now youre wanted for giant murder, and you have to change your identity and pretend youre the South African host of a latenight show. And you know what . Ive already said too much. Now, when i first heard this story, i didnt know what to think. Why would china be sending random packets of seeds to americans . In three months, are these seeds going to bloom into chinese soldiers . But it turns out the real explanation might not have anything to do with espionage. Basically, chinese businesses could be sending seeds to people in america, simply as a way to generate a fake sale, and fake positive review, which then boosts their online ratings. Which it me seems like a waste of time. Its already easy to spot fake positive reviews online, because every positive review is fake. People only write reviews when theyre pissed off. Nobody is taking the time to go on amazon like, broom works as advertised. Pushes dirt from one spot to another place. 5 stars. Either way, jokes on you, china. Because plants are the only thing keeping me company the last few months. Youre just sending me new friends. Isnt that right, jeremy . Jeremy jeremy, you take that all lives matter bullshit somewhere else. You gotta move out. Its not tool, man. Moving on to todays big tech news. With jeff bezos testifying in congress for the first time ever, his exwife, Mackenzie Scott was, making news of her own. Because Forbes Magazine recently named her the third Richest Woman in america, but shes working hard on moving down the list. Mackenzie scott, who used to be married to jeff bezos, says shes donated 1. 7 billion to causes that she believes are important to her. The money will go to more than 100 organizations in nine areas of need. That includes racial and l. G. B. T. Q. Equality. Scott, who changed her name to her middle name following her divorce, received a quarter of bezos shares when they divorced, and that was worth 35 billion at the time. Trevor damn, 1. 7 billion to charity its almost like Mackenzie Scott is determined to be the antibezos. Shes woke, she doesnt hoard her money, and she has a full head of hair. I guess the only downside is if she ever starts a Home Delivery service, nothing you order will ever arrive in time. Its great that shes being this charitable, because 35 billion is a shit ton of money. Shes so rich, when she checks her balance on her phone, she has to turn it sideways. When youre in landscape mode, youre richrich. And you cant even say shes doing it for the tax writeoff, because billionaires dont pay taxes speaking of billionaires who lose money donald trump. Unlike every other american president , hes been oddly chilled out about russian aggression towards the u. S. And now, hes basically giving a big shrug to one of russias deadliest schemes yet. Its been widely reported that the u. S. Has intelligence that russia paid bounties or offered to pay bounties to taliban fighters to kill american soldiers. You had a phone call with Vladimir Putin on july 23. Did you bring up this issue . No, that was a phone call to discuss other things. And youve never discussed it with him . I have never discussed it with him, no. It never reached my desk. You know why . Because they didnt think it intelligence they didnt think it was real. It was in your written brief, though. Do you read your written brief . I do. I read a lot. You know i read a lot. Read. I read a lot. Your daily intelligence brief . I comprehend extraordinarily well. Trevor okay, first of all, i believe trump when he says this intelligence briefing never reached his desk, because its so full of goya beans, where were they going to put the files . But it is bizarre that trump is the most impulsive president ever, except when it comes to russia. I mean, people are protesting against the police. We gotta send in the troops. Break it up but when russia is putting bounties on american troops theyre only lashing out because we hurt them. Like dr. Jen says, hurt people hurt people. i mean, i guess i can understand where trump is coming from. It is super awkward bringing up to your buddy how he put a bounty on your soldiers. Youre talking sports, youre talking chicks you dont want ruin the vibe with how hes spearheading a campaign to compensate enemy combatants for killing your troops. Zero chill, man, zero chill and, finally, an update on the protests that have been shaking portland. Just moments ago, the governor of oregon says federal agents are looking at leaving the city in a quote phased withdrawal. Those were the governors words. However, this was President Trump appearing to dismiss that idea this morning you hear all sort of reports about possibly leaving. Were not leaving until they secure their city. If they dont secure their city soon, we have no choice. Were going to have to go in and clean it out. Trevor you want to clean out portland . Thats a good idea. You left a lot of tear gas canisters and flash knre nades lying around the place. Look, this portland thing has been very scary for america as a whole, and especially for black people. Portland is the whitest city in america, and theyre still sending in federal troops to use overwhelming force. I mean, if thats what theyre willing to do there, who knows what theyre willing to do to minority groups. Its like seeing a white person kick a golden retriever. If that dog isnt safe, you know damn well your black ass isnt. One thing thats weird for me is seeing how enthusiastic so many conservatives have been about sending federal troops to arrest american citizens, because for years, thats one of the things they were most afraid of. In fact, back in 2014, president obama deployed federal agents to confront a group of ranchers who were trespassing on federal land. And, well, check out how different the response was back then. The president is expanding the effort. Operation legend is a beginning. Its greatly needed in all of these cities. I am having a hard time understanding why the government would create a confrontation like this. The government has gone way overboard here and i think they need to pull back fast. The city of portland has been under siege. D. H. S. , and d. O. J. Officers and agents have been deployed to keep the mobs in check. As we watch the estimated two00 federal agents and local Law Enforcement surround the ranch, the word of this evening is tyranny as in the arc temporary, unrestrained exercise of power. When somebody looks at lawlessness and says its a local problem, you can do that to dismiss all bad behaviors. Even though theres some lawlessness involved here, the inclination is to be for the individual, even if the individual may have broken some laws. Mobs of crazy people have roamed this country terrorizing citizens gee, it was the armed agents who were scarier. How you can say cliveen bundy is threatening. To protect the citys federal buildings, they were accused of acting like an occupying army. The federal government needs to pull back. They need to think about what is the end game here . Are they willing to tase people, fight people . I saw one picture of a bloodied up woman, an elderly woman thrown to the ground. 200 agents, snipers, surrounding a ranch. Seemed a little over the top to me. Its over the top. Its very strong. Trevor hmmm, i wonder what the difference was between now and back then. I guess ill never know. Were going to take a short break, but when we come back, well tell you about the black women history forgot. Stick ar dead battery sound thats weird. Come on. Great. Are you for real . Uggggh ahh.

Other than the coronavirus, the biggest story this year has been black lives matter, a movement fighting for equality and justice, and the reason so many of your favorite statues are suddenly unemployed. But as much as everyone has been talking about b. L. M. , theres one aspect that doesnt get talked about enough the role of black women in the movement. National attention focused on Police Brutality of and Police Killings of black men is is not extended to black women. Often, black women, black trans women, are left out of the conversation. While the names most associated with the black lives Matter Movement are male, black women and girls are regularly victims to Police Brutality in the u. S. Black women experiences of Police Brutality tend to receive far less media and political attention. Dealing with this double layer of discrimination, black women have often been at the heart of key Civil Rights Movements. For example, the black lives Matter Movement was founded by three women back in 2013. Trevor yeah, think about it. Theres this giant, Historic Movement sweeping the country, and 99 of us have never even heard of the women who founded which is pretty egregious. I mean, we all know who founded k. F. C. , and thats not even a movement for racial equality. Thats a movement for destroying your bowels. And, look, ill be honest. I didnt know black women started the black lives Matter Movement, partly because aunt becky told me it was her daughter. It was really convincing. She had a resume and everything. But the unfortunate truth is overlooking the role of black women in leading movements of social justice isnt anything new, as well find out in another installment of if you dont know, now you know. Although black women have been the pioneers of so many movements that have changed the world, the erasure of black women from the story of these movements is something weve seen many times throughout american history, starting all the way back with the womens suffrage movement. African american women, in particular, played a significant and sometimes overlooked role in the suffrage movement. There were African American women fighting for suffrage from the beginning Sojourner Truth in the time of the civil war. Ida b. Wells barnet and mary church terrell. They built a movement that would grow to half a million, but they would never find acceptance among mainstream suffragists. At that time, suffrage leaders were actively wooing southern white members. To appease the southerners, white suffragists found it expedient to abandon their black sisters. They minimized the presence of black women in that struggle. Elizabeth cady stanton seized control of suffrage history in this multivolume book that still dominates history and essentially wrote black women out of that. Trevor thats right, black suffragettes were literally written out of the history books by white women in the movement. And just look at their faces. Its like they had already seen the future and were like, mmm, im not gonna get credit for any of this, am i . Because the truth is, certain white feminist heroes were super problematic. I mean, people remember them like they were early versions of wonder woman, when in reality, they were more like the mom from get out. Now, you may not be surprised that these 1920s karens were eager to accept black womens work but give them none of the credit. But what may surprise you is that black men in the Civil Rights Movement were also happy to do a similar thing. Most women who worked in the movement, who were the actual backbone of the Civil Rights Movement, werent really known. Media attention would always be drawn to the men of the movement as theyre doing work, the Martin Luther kings and others, but would not necessarily go to women like ella baker, who was a longtime activist who helped to nurture and birth the student movement. Diane nash was the lead strategist behind the sitins in nashville and the freedom riders. She played a Critical Role in organizing the selma marches. Dorothy height was the godmother of the Civil Rights Movement, but because she was a woman, she was often off to the side, behind the podium, behind the scenes. She was a Guiding Force at the table when the big six planned the historic march on washington in 1963, the lone woman at a table full of men. Yet, despite all her efforts, height could not convince them that a woman should be allowed to speak at the podium the day of the march. Trevor come on, man. This is so messed up. Black women were the lifeblood of the Civil Rights Movement, and still they got cockblocked by the dudes. I mean, the reverends got half a dozen microphones right there. You cant break one of those off for my girl dorothy . She was one of the big six. Its like if the avengers were fighting thanos, but they made iron man cheer from the stands. And this shows you that black women dont just have to deal with racism from the world, but oftentimes they have to deal with sexism within their communities and the world at large. Theres actually a term for it misogynoir which means misogyny against black women. And it also sounds like the title of a fancy french movie. french man i am sorry, but i cannot, because youre a black woman. Somebody will get their ass kicked so throughout history, black women have had their contributions to groundbreaking movements minimized or erased, whether its womens suffrage or civil rights. And the list goes on and on. The role of black women in starting and founding the Womens Movement and feminism altogether is still not in the history books. Many dont know this, but the Metoo Movement was started by a black women, tarana burke, 12 years ago, to support victims and survivors of sexual violence. In the modernday calls for justice and equality, theres an echo of another social movement for l. G. B. T. Q. rights, a movement sparked and sustained by black trans women. We never would have had a stonewall if it wasnt for a black trans woman saying enough due to Police Brutality and police misconduct. They fought back against the police, in particular marsha p. Johnson, sylvia rivera, and miss major. In 2015, when they did the stonewall movie, although we all knew that these black transgender women started that riot that evening, they whitewashed it and they started it and replaced them with white, queer characters as the leaders of that. Trevor damn. They pulled a reverse hamilton on the stonewall movie you know what we need to do . We need to add these women into the movie with c. G. I. George lucas has the technology. And, he owes us all reparations for jar jar binks. You know, when you think about it, the gay Rights Movement was basically like all the cool slang on twitter you thought it came from white gay men, but they actually got it from black women. The next time you march with black lives matter or your dance moves go viral on tik tok, dont forget black women were a major part of making that happen. And if you dont know, you noyou know. Okay, when we come back, ill be talking to michael tubbs, the 29yearold mayor of stockton, california, who wants to give everyone free money. Dont go away.
