Will get worse before it gets better, which may be true, but its still a weird campaign promise. When asked about former associate of Jeffrey Epstein and accused sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell at his press conference yesterday, President Trump said, quote, i wish her well. And then somewhere an assassin said, thats the code, and started screwing together a plastic rifle. Thats right he was asked about accused sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and said he had met maxwell numerous times over the years and wished her well oh, no, thats going to become a trump rally chant, isnt it . Wish her well wish her well former Attorney Michael Cohen has written a tellall book about President Trump. Seriously . Harry potter wasnt written about this much. What else is there to know oh, wow oh, it says hes a touch racist. What page oh, all of them. The Democratic Party recently drafted its 2020 platform, which is 80 pages long and was drafted by a 15person panel, as opposed to the republican platform which is whatever one guy saw on fox news that morning. During a Heated Exchange on the steps of the capitol, republican congressman ted yoho reportedly called new york congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez a derogatory name as he walked away although it cant possibly be more disgusting than yoho. Yoho sounds like a laxative yogurt for dogs. Yoho sounds like a part of manhattan where cops let White People Party without masks ha, its going down tonight in yoho. Hours after President Trump tweeted on monday that wearing a mask is patriotic, trump was allegedly seen talking to supporters at a fundraiser without wearing a mask well, now that they know what a hypocrite he is, im sure theyll all come running over to the other side no, theyre not . Theyre naming their kids maga jeez louise, all right the Republican National committee will reportedly purchase copies of donald trump jr. s soontobe released book to give to people who donate more than 75 said donors, 74. 99 it is. Fast food chain kfc has announced that it will work with a russian 3d Bioprinting Lab to create the socalled meat of the future, while arbys announced that theyre going to stick with the meat of the past. Relax, its only a few days old. Just, you know fast food chain kfc has announced that it will work with a russian 3d Bioprinting Company to create Chicken Nuggets in a lab. Kill me, said their first batch. [ laughter ] a nugget a nugget with a mouth. Today was National Hammock day so if you saw someone in a hammock today, they were probably still stuck there since last hammock day those things are death traps and finally, a seagull in britain was rescued over the weekend after it got a disposable face mask tangled around its legs. Thats how i wear it said joggers in new york. Thats the monologue, everybody. Weve got a great show for you tonight ill chat with the always funny amy sedaris. Plus, her new show, the reid out premiered this week on msnbc. Joy reid will be here. But first, a closer look. Seth hello, everybody, and welcome back to our temporary studio in the Captains Quarters you know, weve been going through our viewer mail. And while many of you think the new maritime theme set is great, some of you most certainly do nautical. Oof, i told you that joke stunk. Arggh, thanks for trying it seth and since i did, could we maybe keep the interruptions to a minimum okay. Seth speaking of halfassed efforts, the president is trying to convince americans he suddenly cares about the pandemic hes been ignoring for months, as he also threatens to send more secret police to cities across the country. For more on this, its time for a closer look. Seth donald trump is trailing joe biden by as much as 15 points in the latest polls. Hes as unpopular as any president in modern history, and hes facing a larger deficit than any incumbent has ever overcome at this point in the campaign but as we all know, donald trump is a master tactician and a marketing genius it was only a matter of time before he cooked up a Foolproof Plan to win back those voters. And on tuesday, with the nations eyes upon him at a televised press briefing, he finally deployed his latest master stroke. President trump was asked late today about Jeffrey Epsteins alleged coconspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. She pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges last week. One of her alleged victims describing her as a predator and monster. The president today saying he hasnt followed her case, that theyve met numerous times, and that he wishes her well. I just wish her well, frankly. Ive met her numerous times over the years, especially since i lived in palm beach. And i guess they lived in palm beach but i wish her well. Seth checkmate, joe biden. Just like the trump team drew it up on the chalkboard in front of millions of americans, the president publicly sent well wishes to an alleged sex trafficker while reminding everyone hes been friends with her for years i mean, you just cant teach that kind of political talent. Now all trump has to do is sit back and watch the votes roll in now, i know you monday morning quarterbacks out there might think that publicly sending well wishes to Jeffrey Epsteins wingwoman 100 days before a president ial election is, shall we say, a misstep. But, you see, trump is always ten steps ahead. When you go left, he goes right. When you zig, he says nice things about someone who was recently apprehended by federal agents while hiding out in a remote compound. Because if there is one thing that trumps base cares most about, its a woman whose first name sounds like a french perfume for someone who is keeping a secret geelan, shh. And, again, one day we will get a second closeup camera for right over there my favorite thing about this is imagining the staff reaction they only called this press conference to try to improve trumps poll numbers you know they mustve tried so hard to keep him on script mr. President , we just need you to focus on the facts of the coronavirus, and only the facts. Uhhuh. So just, you know, stick to the script. Got it. All you have to do is sound president ial and the media will eat it up. Dont worry, i wont let you down just one question. Should i remind people that i parted with epstein . Is that a good idea or a great idea i think it might be a great idea. And yet despite this insane tangent, the media still fell for trumps act simply because his team dosed his diet coke with nyquil and got him to read a prepared statement pretending to take the crisis seriously before the briefing, abc wrote, the president is displaying a new tone and a new level of engagement. Cnn called it a relatively sober tone, and bloomberg said, trump reboots virus briefings with warning and a shift in tone. Good lord. I really think you could duct tape a spatula to a golden retrievers paw and half of the media would say, oh, my god that dogs a chef whats wrong with you guys how can you keep falling for this its been five years of this bs, and still every time president werewolf over here manages to novocain his way through a prepared statement without passing out at the podium, you act like hes a totally different person all of a sudden you know, i say president werewolf, but really hes more like a reverse werewolf. He terrorizes townspeople all the time and then hes normal for a couple hours when theres a full moon. The past 30 days my behavior has been monstrous. Look, 74yearolds dont change unless their character is in a Clint Eastwood movie where a bunch of retired bank robbers go to outer space even though all they ever really learn is how to have a slightly better relationship with their estranged daughter lets say laura linney you were never there for me. Those Bank Robberies paid for your fancy college. I didnt want a fancy college i wanted a father. I need to go now, becky were robbing mars. Look, you know trumps just going to steal his phone back and tweet some racist nonsense, right . He repeatedly used a racist term for the coronavirus in the briefing you dont even need to wait until he tweets. He morphed back into the real trump midpress conference just compare his supposed tone change from his scripted remarks to an offthecuff comment he made just minutes later. Seth my god, id say he suffers from extreme shortterm memory loss, but then again, he aced that cognitive test so what do i know . Its too bad coronavirus cant be cured by correctly identifying an elephant on a piece of paper then trump wouldve knocked that [ bleep ] out of the park. Of course, the idea that the virus will just magically disappear is deranged. And since the very beginning of his political career, weve known that both trump and the Political Movement he leads are deeply, deeply detached from reality. Sometimes that manifests itself in small but bizarre ways, like when he drew with a sharpie on a hurricane map or claimed god stopped it from raining at his inauguration, even though people in the crowd were literally holding umbrellas. This guy lies about the weather more than your local meteorologist. You told me we were going to have clear skies all weekend and then i end up wearing a poncho to the beach the last time i listen to thunder rains. And its important to say, this isnt unique to trump. The modern conservative movement is a paranoid movement obsessed with conspiracy theories remember, this is the same Political Movement that thinks the world scientists all got together and fabricated the Climate Crisis as part of an elaborate plot to outlaw airplanes and barbecues. Good thing we elected donald trump to protect our flights and social gatherings. And now those same lunatics think graffiti and Light Property damage constitute domestic terrorism for example, take acting secretary of Homeland Security chad wolf. You know, drakkar noir if it grew up to be a real boy im pretty sure this dude had a minor role on entourage as a personal trainer whos friends with turtle. He looks like a guy who, on a first date, would tell you he was a commando in a Top Secret Army unit called the omega squad, and then youd get home and google it and find out omega squad is a paintball range two towns over wolf put out a statement on the administrations decision to send secret police to portland to snatch protesters off the street and stuff them in unmarked vans, in which dhs used the phrases violent mob, violent criminals, or violent anarchists a total of 76 times. Is this a press statement or a page from rorschachs journal . 13yearold, hes pretty psyched about that joke. Its bad enough to sound like a fascist, but at least crack open a thesaurus. The only time its permissible to use the phrase violent anarchy that often is when youre reviewing the music of stomp. Guys, do we need that many trash cans maybe one of you could learn guitar . Any time a government is calling its own citizens violent anarchists should raise alarms. So, what did these supposedly violent anarchists do to deserve that name . Well, youll be shocked to find out its complete bull[ bleep ]. Chad wolf, he is the acting secretary of Homeland Security to justify what donald trump is doing, he tweeted out images of himself viewing graffiti that had been put on buildings in portland the dhs put out a statement pointing to the buildings it said had been graffitied by, quote, violent anarchists. So the mission of the department of Homeland Security is to deploy secret police to the streets of an American City to stop graffiti and some Light Property damage seth graffiti . Youre going full dictator over some graffiti. Whats next . Are you going to send in s. E. A. L. Team six to arrest lovestruck teens carving their initials into trees . Okay, he just finished carving the heart shape into the tree. Now hes going for the t. L. A take the shot take the shot, todd thats right our government used graffiti to justify sending secret police to an American City to abduct protesters into unmarked vans without telling them who they are, where theyre going, or why theyve been arrested. But it would be bad enough if what they were doing was using secret police to enforce laws against graffiti thats already chilling. What theyre actually doing is even worse theyre just snatching Peaceful Protesters off the street. Theyre kidnapping people and not even telling them what theyre being charged with federal Law Enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around Downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least tuesday. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation about why theyre being arrested, and driving off. One came from a 29yearold named Mark Pettibone who said that when he was abducted, he did not know if the men were even police. He thought they might be far right extremists i was terrified, he told the washington post. It seemed like it was out of a horror scifi, like a philip k. Dick novel it was like being preyed upon. Seth leave it to portland to use a literary reference if this happened anywhere else, people would say it seemed like something out of a movie, or, at best, a y. A. Novel but in portland you get, its like a philip k. Dick novel. Less in setting but more in tenor. The later works of course. And in case youre not a philip k. Dick fan, thats bad the dude wrote dystopian science fiction. None of it was ever good he never wrote a novel called, robots took over, and gave us candy when a secret Paramilitary Force is abducting Peaceful Protesters in the dark of night without identifying themselves, that means even they know what theyre doing is a flagrant abuse of power and you can tell its a flagrant abuse of power because theyre using shady and irregular tactics to do it for example, federal officers appear to be using rental cars from enterprise to snatch protesters well, at least we know they were not kidding with their slogan. Did you guys get a deal on kayak . I hope you got the Liability Insurance because im pretty sure youre going to have a lawsuit on your hands. Man, what a [ bleep advertisement for enterprise, by the way. This reminds me of the time in the 80s when the kgb did an ad for hertz. And now trump is threatening to send his secret police to other cities and the rotten husks in the gop and on fox news are cheering him on the president cant be bothered to develop a National Strategy for a pandemic thats killed 140,000 americans. But to defend some statues, hell send secret police to American Cities to abduct protesters he and his rightwing allies couldnt care less about you they just want power if we leave these people in charge of our democracy any longer it will disappear seth this has been a closer look.

Guest drummer, Nikki Glaspie is sitting in with the 8g band this week she plays with maceo parker, and her own band, the nth power. Her new ep, iphone sessions, was made completely on her phone, and is available on all platforms. Thank you so much for being here, nikki. Our first guest is a bestselling author and talented performer you know from shows like strangers with candy and bojack horseman. The Season Finale of her emmynominated show, at home with amy sedaris airs july 29th on trutv, with special guest paul rudd. Heres my conversation with amy sedaris. Seth welcome back, amy how are you . Im doing okay, seth. How are you doing . [ laughter ] seth good. You know, i think were all collectively living through a fairly stressful time. But on top of that you had a very traumatic experience, i believe, yesterday every time im on your show, something happens. Every single time. And i thought of you when i saw i saw a gigantic waterbug and i mean, ive seen waterbugs, whatever, but this one was definitely the biggest and the blackest and the fastest and i could not believe my eyes. And then i fell back you know, it really threw me off guard. I have a rabbit, tina, as you know my male rabbit, tina seth yeah. Freaked out, like ive never seen her freak out because i was freaking out so i calmed down, saw it run into my dishwasher then i went to go get a stool because i wanted to stay in the hallway and just stare it down to see where it goes and then i saw a mouse, which i thought was a rat. But i saw the mouse, and backtoback in broad daylight [ laughter ] and then i was convinced it was a rat. I sat on my stool and then i saw its little head pop out. Mice are very, very cute but, you know, in broad daylight seth right and then i realized it was a mouse. And then i just again, it threw me back, scared to death [ laughter ] calmed down. You know, im just really edgy and im still edgy today, like even if my cellular phone makes a ding, i just jump. Seth the best of us would maybe manage to get past seeing either a waterbug or a mouse, but backtoback like that back to back. Its because theres being work is being done in my apartment. But then i read up on waterbugs and, you know, they bite seth i would not have known that they bite and they go for the toes and they say that its a harmless bite but that it hurts. Seth now, you say that they go for the toes. It would seem to me that that would be their only option based on proximity [ laughter ] yeah, youre right. Well, if you were to open a dishwasher and it was up underneath the handle, i could see it going for a finger. Seth yeah, exactly i wouldnt think that if a hand came in a waterbug would say, im going to wait for the toe, is what im saying i bet they just bite the first thing they see well [ laughter ] seth you mentioned your male rabbit, tina who you named tina, not ironically you thought you had a girl rabbit and we talked about this the last time you were on. How is tina hanging in there tina and i have been really together during this whole quarantine. Weve had each other, its been really quiet in my apartment so i think tina feels really relaxed. But, you know, im an enabler. Ive been feeding her too many snacks so i sent her away to fat camp this couple that lives out near the airport and they watched her for me for a couple weeks just so i could see tinas waistline again. And so i went and picked up tina and now im back to feeding her again. Seth now, so how do you go about finding a sort of a dietary camp for a rabbit . How does that work out well, this is the couple, dottie and steve, they always watch tina for i have to go out of town seth got it. And they love tina. So i just said, you know, this time can you help me she needs to lose a little bit of weight. So they dont overfeed her like i do seth so basically the problem isnt that tina overeats the problem is that you overfeed tina i cant say no. I mean, hes constantly bugging me for treats. Theyre just pellets but, you know, its constant, you know shes a little addictive and i cant say no, so seth how does a rabbit go about begging for a treat . Is it audible . Well, theres a certain its not audible but shell jump in a certain chair or if im in the bed shell jump on the bed and shell keep circling me or shell nip at me seth yeah. [ laughter ] you know, so i just would rather give her the treat than get a rabbit bite because their teeth are seth oh, well yeah this now this is selfdefense now. [ laughter ] i forgive you. [ laughter ] you are known as being very crafty you like to do that as a way to relax. And i was wondering when this hits, back in march, were you well supplied . Were you well stocked up for the things that amy sedaris needs in her house . Im very stocked up im like a very good girl scout that way the only thing i had to hoard was hay. I bought 30 pounds of hay. And that was the only thing that i freaked out and i had to buy but, you know, i had Everything Else i like covering lighters for people i dont know if i have one here. I just make my own lighter decorations and then i sell them whenever i see people. And then, i have two godkids, two boys and the latest art project was i made a treasure box, you know, so my friend paul can bury the treasure and they can find it. So i outsourced it and a friend of mine made the map and then decorated the box for me and then ive been collecting things to go in the box. Like i found a feather, one earring. I went to the bank and got those gold dollar coins which are apparently hard to get now because theres a shortage of coins. I dont know if you knew that. I had to go to four different banks, but i finally got some coins. So, im still seth no, i think ive heard you talk about a treasure box before, and it made me very excited about doing it for my boys i feel like whats the age do you think a kid can enjoy looking on a map and finding a treasure box 18. [ laughter ] well this five, six seth yeah, i think my i got a fouryearold and i feel like im a year away from him looking at a map your sons four seth four, yeah. Well, yeah, id wait. But you know, it really brings out the boy in men you know, they get real excited when you say im collecting items for a treasure box and they all want to get in there and they all recommend stuff its really kind of cute they get excited seth im very happy of the 30 pounds of hay, what are you at right now i have nine pounds. Seth is it all gone . No, i have nine pounds left [ laughter ] seth oh, great okay, thats good. [ laughter ] you know, lest people think that your reaction to the waterbug and mouse means youre not a lover of nature. It should be known that you will actually go to a park and you will feed you will bring food for squirrels. Oh, absolutely. Im into hazelnuts seth okay gotcha raw hazelnuts and i buy them at i go to eataly because i go to the park right across from eataly and then, its funny how much they can put in their mouth. And theyll come right to you. But im talking about, like, six. Its like, i just gave you six nuts, but they want more, more, more and more. [ laughter ] but yeah, whenever i leave the house i have a bag of nuts and bird seed. Seth i mean, that is to get a nut from eataly, i mean, those squirrels are living right seth yeah. [ laughter ] well be right back with more amy sedaris. [10th gen intel bong] week one, here we go. Did everybody read the book . [miscellaneous responses of no] [orange] i read it captain. I read it.

Seth here is more of my conversation with amy sedaris. Seth youve made wonderful props on your show and i should note that a lot of people when they create a television show, other people go out and buy the props for them most of your props are from your actual life, your selfcollected props. A lot of them, yeah my dream is to own a prop house. Seth can you tell us about the prop of huckleberry . Is huckleberry nearby . Huckleberry, can you see huckleberry . [ laughter ] seth oh, my god, huckleberrys terrifying first of all, this is huckleberry. Very comfortable it really feels like a little baby i bought the outfit in the Preemie Department at kmart in North Carolina and you make them using a kit. Like you bake the arms and legs. And then you make the hair, its alpaca and you have to sew it with a little needle that takes forever. I didnt make huckleberry. Someone made it for me but when i was bringing it back from North Carolina and it went through the airport, you know, scanner, i heard people laughing, and i turned around and was like, oh, my god, theyre laughing at my baby. Theyre laughing at huckleberry. [ laughter ] i like to be abusive with huckleberry and neglect him a little bit just because its fun to be mean but, i left him under a pile of clothes for years. And so thats why his hair is really patchy. Seth yeah. Its a real patchy look, i would say. Thats a patchy look. But hes seth i think if you bring him to an airport, you should give him the courtesy of a hat [ laughter ] oh, yeah, youre right, a little sun cap ill think about it. Yeah, so we put huckleberry on the show this year seth and are there other things in your apartment that find their way to the show oh, lots of things i bring in youre going to ask me off the top of my head but, gosh, you know, dried up paper mache pork chop bone [ laughter ] the kind of phone from the 90s with a long antenna. Every kind of tassel that you see on the show, any kind of, like colorful plastic fork, or spoon, or a glass, or a bowl you know, im like, oh, go use this. Fake turkeys, a fake ham seth is it a situation where youre already on set sometimes and you have a realization of, oh, we need a paper mache pork chop bone and then you know that it would just be faster to go home than to ask somebody to get it for you no, i get a uhaul and i bring everything to set. So half my dressing room is a big, you know, shelving unit full of props. And ill go, go get that pompom, you know. I love pompoms. [ laughter ] seth the show is ostensibly about entertaining and you and your brother david, the writer david sedaris, at a very young age, liked to play act as entertainers, yes yes it was called the rex and germalina show. And it was a cooking show, plus a little bit of price is right. Wed make the audience guess how much stuff was, but it was an imaginary audience and then we were a couple. And like we would make Cinnamon Rolls using, like, you know, white socks and wed ball them up to look like, you know like we made everything ourselves. But it went on for years seth what were your names again, sorry rex and germalina im not sure where the names came from. [ laughter ] but that was our show. Seth i know you are not alone in your inability to entertain right now. This is not a good, safe time to have people over to their house. But you do have a very helpful tip for when things open up again. Can you tell us the way you basically snoop proof your house from guests. Yeah. And you can do this by putting if you have any medications or Something Like that, you put them in your in the what do you call, medicine cabinet in the bathroom if you put marbles or pennies in there and you shut the door, then anyone who opens it, all thats going to come out and its going to hit your porcelain sink, and its really funny when it happens and then you know whos snooping through your medicine cabinet. It really works. Youve got to try it if you have medication seth have you found that when you catch people, do they come out and sort of do they own it do they admit . They laugh. [ laughter ] seth thats good because there would be nothing worse than somebody very quietly putting all the pennies and marbles back and hoping that you hadnt heard it. We all heard it [ laughter ] seth hey, it is always such a pleasure to see you and talk to you congratulations on season 3 of your show. And i hope to see you in person next time. Yeah, me too.

Seth our next guest is the host of the new show the reid out, which airs weeknights at 7 00 on msnbc. Heres my conversation with joy reid seth hey, joy. How are you . I am doing wonderful, seth. How are you . Seth im doing wonderful as well congratulations on launching the new show how has the first week been . Its been really crazy. So, you know, launching a show, it turns out to be a little bit of work. [ laughter ] you know, so weve been doing we had to pick a graphics package, pick some music, we had to get, you know a logo. We had to, like, you know prep the cast, meet everybody, like, get ourselves together, get everything, you know, worked out and then do the launch, the booking. Which actually was kind of the most fun part because literally, you know, we got together and, like, who would we like to get were, like, i dont know, oprah, jesus, and obama. Like can we get those people you know and we asked also on that list, biden, hillary clinton, and the booking gods were pretty good to us because we got a Biden Clinton duo for the first show so, so far so great. Seth you know, you almost had something in common, which is our first show when we did late night was joe biden and amy poehler. And amy poehler of course played hillary clinton. So i feel like we basically had the same first show. Its the same show. Its exactly because amy poehler, i mean pretty much if she had showed up at any event and said she was hillary clinton, everybody would be, like, yeah thats who that is [ laughter ] seth these things are hard to launch in normal times. Has had the pandemic has social distancing. Has, you know i know to be in 30 rock right now where you were to launch the show earlier this week, is its own thing as well how has it made it more difficult to get off the ground . Its definitely changed it. So we, you know decided to do the road trip and go up and launch the show, even though were going to be a d. C. Based show when were ever back in a studio in d. C. You know, we decided we wanted to do a big launch and really, you know, we have biden, we have hillary, lets just do it big. So you know this, seth the 30 Rockefeller Plaza is a mall its actually a shopping mall. Seth yes its got a basement with, you know, entrance from the subway its got shops its got restaurants its got like a thing you can go up and see the whole city from its a beehive and so it was like being in an empty beehive. There were like three bees seth its so funny because i have been working pretty much uninterrupted in that building since 2001 and i have definitely muddled under my breath about the number of tourists who were clogging up the Office Building that i work in yeah. Seth and now i miss them more than i ever thought i was capable of missing anyone. I so want to fight my way through a family of eight German Tourists to my elevator. I want to tip my cap to the name the reid out. Was it fun coming up with a name that leaned into your actual your last name no. You know, so i we love a pun, right . I love a pun so ive done all the shows ive done have been read puns or something with reid in it. So i was trying to come up with puns that would be, like, short and to the point the other name i came up with that i thought would be fun was reid the room. Cause its like, read the room, right i was like, thats fun seth yeah. But the reid out is shorter. Its better hashtagged seth yeah. And i think there are better reid puns. I think there arent anymore so thats it hopefully seth and i think you want to start, you want that the article at the beginning of it you want the reid out. If its reid the room, like youve lost the power of the the. [ laughter ] exactly seth you have a segment called the craziest damn thing, which is must be hard to pick on any given day what the craziest damn thing is right seth because there is certainly no shortage we have found at our show. No. I mean, weve had people ripping down masks, you know, for no reason wearing a rolex like, weve had people, you know, going to City Council Meetings and saying, you know, wearing a mask is like tyranny and its the reason that the founding fathers, like, overthrew the british. Like, weve had just the craziest year anyway so, yeah, the hardest thing is to sort through all the crazy things to pick the craziest thing. So far, you know, trump is two for 0. You know, i know i guess two for two i guess on being the latest craziest thing but im quite sure it will very quickly expand to other crazy stuff. Seth yes he has provided incredible cover to other crazy people or those i should say who do crazy things [ laughter ] yes seth he has provided nice cover. I want to ask about the fact that you have been covering black lives matter as a Movement Since 2012. Can you speak to, you know, how you feel the movement has grown and where you are currently at in regards to optimism or pessimism . Yeah. I mean, you know, when i was covering even in 2012 i was aware that, you know, black lives matter, it started, you know, during enslavement right . I mean black lives matter is an ageold movement that just changes names. Its been the Civil Rights Movement you know, its been run by sncc. Its been run by the southern christian leadership conference. Its been john Lewis Movement you know, its been dr. Kings movement and you know, in 2012, it really launched just as the term black lives matter, you know, three black queer women launched this hashtag. And it was around trayvon martin, this kid whos walking down the street minding his own business he gets killed by somebody who had an aspiration of being a Police Officer so it had this sort of the flavor of Police Violence against black bodies and so, it launched around this idea of saying, you know, you need to think of these young lives as being important and why we dont do that in america is a big problem and so black lives matter launched and the thing that was so different about then and now, is that at the time you had a president who was incredibly empathetic to it he said, if i had a son, hed looked like trayvon or i could have been trayvon. And you have that empathy in the white house. That desire to embrace the movement, bring them into the white house, talk to them. You know, eric holder was trying to figure out how could we work with black lives matter to make the country better but the public was against him you know, the polling was terrible for black lives matter. You know, White America really rejected this Movement Even when it was eric garner and Michael Brown and all of these people you know, freddie gray, i covered the freddie Gray Movement in the streets. Youre talking about a guy who was thrown limp into the back of a police car and there was still very little empathy. Even tamir rice who was a baby, 12yearsold, nothing seemed to move the public at large other than black folk and brown folk to be for it now you have the flipside of that its completely upside down. You have a president whos completely unsympathetic and hostile to black lives matter. Hostile to the idea of people kneeling, you know saying that we want fairness and justice from police. But the public is now on black the black lives matter movements side. And that is a huge change. And its an important change youve now got white folks out there marching and getting teargassed moms in portland getting teargassed for black lives matter before it was Heather Heyer putting her life on the line and losing her life for black lives matter now its a bunch of moms and i think its an important difference because it means its broader. This is not a Niche Movement its not just a black people concern. This is the public realizing if theyre coming for black lives, theyre eventually coming for yours. Theyre eventually coming for your security and peace. All of us have to be in this together i think that is actually an important change and were seeing legislation were actually seeing it become legislation. So thats important. Seth its obviously also important to have voices like yours talking about this youre the only black woman anchoring a news show right now, and were really lucky to have you doing that i want to leave by asking, are you preferring these hours to your am joy hours when you hosted a morning show on msnbc well, yes and no. Okay, so on the no part, two hours is like, think about how much you pay for a 30second television commercial, right two hours is like gold right, you have two whole hours. So its harder to shrink myself seth sure. And all the questions i have are like a hundred questions for joe biden. I can only ask, like, 40 of them right . You have to shrink it down and also i love having mondays off. People do not understand monday being saturday and tuesday being sunday is everything you can get all your stuff done. Nobodys in the stores its like perfect. So im going to miss having mondays and tuesdays as my weekend. Tse hours in the sense that its immediate. Like, im not analyzing the week from the back end. Were literally now front line every day in the mix for a news junkie, theres Nothing Better than being on the air every night in prime time. Its just its a fabulous opportunity. Seth well, congratulations again. And hopefully when this all clears up, well see each other in the building. All the best, joy.
