Career locking up criminals and filling up californias jails. Shes even friends with cops. Hold on. That actually sounds pretty cool. Mike, is it too late to change you . But jokes aside, congratulations to Kamala Harris. She is now the first black woman on a major party ticket, which is a great moment for her and for america. Moving on from our next possible Vice President to the next possible president of the United States kayne west. Since announcing his candidacy, the hip hop superstar and brokelooking billionaire has been scrambling to get on the ballot in as many states as possible. And, unfortunately for him, its not going smoothly. Kanye wests legal team is fighting to be included in er p. Well, heres the problem, though. The wisconsin Election Campaign alleged the nomination paperwork was filed 14 seconds late. Wests response was that 15 seconds after 5 00 on the deadline night is not later than 5 00. They argue the deadline includes anytime before 5 01. Trevor surprise, surprise. The guy who made late registration couldnt get his paperwork in on time. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Although, if im being perfectly honest, this is a tough philosophical question. Think about it if theres a 5 00 deadline to hand in your signatures, are you late if you hand them in at 5 00 and 14 seconds . Like, is it 5 00 until 5 01, or is it 5 01 immediately when 5 00 hits, and you only call it 5 01 when the 1 is complete . I mean, this is kind of question i dont know the answer to, but what i do know is theres one person i dont want to didnt meaning of time with, and thats kayne west. as kanye time was invented by the devil to destroy god, but its also part of god, hehhh. And this decision by wisconsin is the kind of thing that when it happens to someone else, youre like, hey, man, rules are rules. They said before 5 00, you didnt do it before 5 00. Are rules. But when it happens to you, bullshit what is this, communist china . but i dont know, man. Kanye west might have just won my vote. Because i want a government that believes that deadlines are ish. You know . Tax day . April 15thish. Get them to us when you get them to us. Expired license . Eh, it was good a month ago. Go on. Get outta here. Moving on to covid19 the virus thats turned shaking hands into an extreme sport. The good news is the first vaccine has been approved for use in the general population. The bad news is it was approved by Vladimir Putin. Breaking overnight, a surprising claim from russian president Vladimir Putin that a vaccine has been developed in his country and is already being given to people, including his own daughter. Reporter in the global race for a coronavirus vaccine, russia said today its already won. Even though it hasnt completed phasethree trials, thats not slowing russia down, which today registered and approved for use its vaccine while continuing to conduct human trials. Scientists, including from the w. H. O. , are urging caution, saying only extensive and prolonged testing can determine if a vaccine is effective and safe. Trevor okay, this is pretty shady, to say the least, because you see, vaccines are like ordering food you want it quickly, but not too quickly. I mean, yes, im hungry, but if my delivery comes in under 10 minutes, was that my delivery, or something that was supposed to go out yesterday . Also, lets be honest, has anything good ever come from a russian injection . I mean, the bestcase scenario is you win an olympic medal that gets taken back two years later. And i know putin wants people to trust him by saying he gave the vaccine to his daughter, but is now one suspicious that he didnt give the vaccine to himself. Because we dont know his relationship with his daughter. Like, if trump gave the vaccine to his daughter, wed know its for real. But if he gave it to eric, then we all know whats up. So, look, the truth is that a safely tested vaccine is still probably months away. But in the meantime, heres something that might just hold you over candy. Trickortreating in doubt because of the pandemic. Candy manufacturers are protecting themselves from potential losses for the biggest season. Hershey has partnered with retailers to set up halloween merchandise earlier in the summer, in some cases, four weeks earlier. In addition to the longer season, hersheys is focusing more on familysize packs and fewer treats in halloweenspecific packaging. Trevor this is classic america. The Candy Companies are like, okay, because of corona, weve got to be prepared. Lets plan this thing out early and lets make sure everybody gets access to candy. Whereas, the election people are like, i dunno. Im feeling lucky. Lets see what happens on the day. And as for halloween, i thought this whole year was halloween every day, ive been wearing a mask and going through an entire bag of funsize twix. What are we supposed to do in october . But i will say i really do feel bad for candy makers, especially oompa loompas. Because lets be honest, if sales are down, theyre going to be the first ones let go. And finding a new job right now as an oompa loompa. Thats not easy to doompetty do. Do you think he was bleep those things . Naaah trevor meanwhile, halloween isnt the only autumn tradition in jeopardy. College football season is right around the corner, and the battle over whether to play is getting more brutal than, well, College Football. Reporter sacked . The leaders of College Football holding emergency talks on whether to cancel the season. The big ten Conference Announcing it will postpone all sports. Vice president mike pence saying in part, America Needs College Football. Its important for student athlete schools and our nation. President trump took to social media saying student athletes have been working too hard for their season to be canceled. These Football Players are very young strong people and physically physically in extraordinary shape, so theyre not going to have a problem. Youre not going to see people could it happen . I doubt it. Youre not going to see people dying. They get better very quickly, if they get it at all, so i think footballs making a tragic mistake. Trevor donald trump truly has the strangest priorities of all time. 160,000 americans are dead . as trump it is what it is. College football might get postponed for a year . as trump what a tragedy if these kids dont get to bang each others heads, you might never see another donald trump. But i will tell you this if College Football is being canceled, then you know coronavirus is serious because ive traveled through this country, and people in america will do anything for College Football. If you told tennessee fans that their football stadium was going to be moved to the surface of the sun, theyd be like southern accent well, then ill find a seat on the shady side, because this year is gonna be the vols year but you know what, guys . Instead of forcing College Football, maybe now is the time for other College Sports to have their moment. Like, how about fencing . Its perfect for corona. You wear a mask, and the whole point is to keep someone away. Seems like its time to shine and this whole debate must be so confusing for college athletes. I mean, they must play during a pandemic, but they also still cant get paid. Its like theyre considered too essential and also not essential enough at the same time. But despite the pandemic, theres still a chance that College Football is going to move ahead. And because of that, College Coaches have made a few tweaks to their locker room pep talks. Look, men, i know things are looking bad right now. Billys all right got corona. Steves got corona, too. Craig, youve got herpes. Thats a different story. The point is, were hurting. But let me tell you something. Theres a little guy out there named donnie trump and all donnie wants it sosee you guys out there on the field so he can advance his narrative that he beat corona and everything is normal again. And i dont think thats too much to ask . Do you . If you cant do it for donnie, then do it for all the money at stake here. Not for you, obviously, but for me, and the university. So lets get out there and show whoever is in quarantine on the opposing team that this is our house well, youll have to do it anyway, or well take away your scholarship. Break down on three trevor were going to take a quick break, but when we come back, well tell you why the president is slowing down your mail. Dont go away. Okay, where are me now . Where the hell did these people come from . Who the hell are you . I want to go back. What is this whats going on here . What is he talking about . What are you talking about . What . What the hell is that . Whats that . Is that a camera . Is that a camera . Person, woman, man, camera, tv. Its great. Its science, important. Rough bleep . Right now, switch to tmobile and get four lines of unlimited for just 25 bucks a line. With access to americas largest 5g included. Thats right. Unlimited and nationwide 5g for the whole family for just 25 bucks a line. Only at tmobile. When you order a hotandjuicy quarter pounder. A normal amount of napkins, just wont do. Ba da ba ba ba look limu someone out there needs help customizing their Car Insurance with liberty mutual, so they only pay for what they need. False alarm. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. With the president ial election right around the corner, the big question is no longer, will donald trump try to cheat . Its now become, how will donald trump try to cheat . And with more americans than ever expected to vote by mail due to coronavirus, it looks like hes zeroing in on his plan. President trump is stepping up his effort to discredit mailin voting as vulnerable to fraud, ramping up attacks on twitter and on television. I think mailin voting is going to rig the election. I really do. They want to steal an election. Thats all this is all about. They want to steal the election. There is no way you can go through a mailin vote without massive cheating. Democrats are pushing to expand mailin voting and change existing voting laws to make it easier for people to cast ballots at home because of the coronavirus. The president wants his political allies to fight back against that, and they have now pledged 20 million for that effort. Trevor for real . Only donald trump is weird enough to have beef with the mail. Everyday, hes less and less like a president and more like a neighbor in a sitcom. Goddamn you, mail man i mean, this guy is spending 20 million to sue mailin voting. Normally when trump spends that much money suing you, its because youve seen him neighborhood. I know what you saw last summer. You cant tell anybody. You cant tell them about this thing ive got. So even though the president and almost everyone in his administration votes by mail, clearly, he thinks letting everyone else do it would be bad for his reelection. And because lawsuits alone wont stop mailin voting, the other part of trumps plan is to just stop the mail. Reporter tonight, a backlog of undelivered mail is piling up in post offices around the country. Workers are blaming the new postmaster general, a Top Republican Campaign Donor who has given more than 1. 1 million to the Trump Victory fund. Reporter louis dejoy forced costcutting measures, leading to undelivered mail piling up at post offices across the country. And cbs news confirmed this internal Postal Service directive that outlines an operational pivot, saying extra trips to deliver mail are no longer authorized, and that we may see mail left behind or mail in the workroom floor or docks, which is not typical. Reporter the service insists it is not intending to slow down and delivery or risk any election mail. But the stakes are high for the u. S. P. S. To follow through on its promise of ontime delivery. 32 states currently will not count ballots that arrive after election day, even if postmarked earlier. Trevor wow, even if you mail your ballot in on time, 32 states wont count them if the post office gets them in late. And that doesnt sound like an election. This sounds like what happened to me in high school. Yeah, i gave my friend a love letter to pass to my crush, but then he decided to skip third period instead, so she never got my letter. So she went to prom with another guy, and they ended up getting married and having a kid, so that shouldve been my kid, and thats what i told the cops but they made me give the kid back anyways. And thats why you have to defund the police. So, look, if trump and his cronies are trying to sabotage the post office, theres only one solution. And i hate to say it, folks, but we have to let Bed Bath Beyond run mailin voting, because no matter how much i try to stop them, i keep getting those coupons in the mail. Its ridiculous i dont need all of this i dont need all of this mail i dont need to know that theres 35 off shower curtains oh shit it was expired. Anyway, so trump has been on a crusade against mailin ballots, and then he installed a close political ally who just happened to start slowing down the mail. Which means that, come november, a lot of votes that are supposed to make it by election day might might not. It also means that in the meantime, all the other mail is getting delayed, and its having a huge effect on peoples lives. Reporter in some parts of the country, customers are waiting weeks for their mail. These neighbors in chicagos dunning neighborhood want consistent u. S. Postal service mail delivery. Susan carter says when mail is delivered, it comes late, and sometimes its not theirs. I just think the system fell apart, and i dont think they care about us. All that stuff thats important to you that nobody else should get may be going to someone elses house. Reporter in baltimore, people waited two hours in hopes of getting their mail that never showed up. Reporter many are not getting bills and paychecks on time, putting a strain on their homes and businesses. Survived the covid, survived everything. The only thing i didnt survive was the mail. As a veteran myself, i get medication through the mail. I rely on that. And not to have it when i need it, thats a travesty to a veteran. Trevor yeah, you see, a lot of people think mail is just a waste of paper, credit cards and stuff theyre not going to sign up for and ads for shit theyre not going to buy. But for many people, thats how they get their medicine. Its how they communicate with family in prison. And for many areas of the country, especially rural areas, the post office is the only way they can receive mail. So the mail might mean nothing to you, but it means everything to some people. Think of it like a wilson volleyball it might not mean anything to you, but when tom hanks got trapped on that island, it was his everything. Do you think he was bleep that volleyball . Naaah so, look, its becoming clear as day, unless trump changes his mind on the post office, just like every trump business, it could be doomed. So maybe to save themselves, the Postal Service should do what every foreign dictator does flatter the shit out of trump . Are you a trump supporter that needs to use the mail . Youre in luck, the trump commemorative stamp. Each stamp commemorates one of our president s great achievements. Like the time President Trump defeated the sun in a staring contest.

It has now been almost six months since Ahmaud Arbery was murdered while jogging in his own neighborhood. And in a summer where Police Brutality has been put front and center, arberys murder was particularly troubling, because the men who killed him werent police officers, but used a 150yearold law to justify their crime. Roy wood jr. Has more, in his new segment, how is this still a law . In the criminal justice system, there are laws and then there are laws that are dumb and make no sense. These are their stories.
