and i can fish right from the window of pam's pottery studio. and we can chat anytime we want. just like now. just like now. too bad schools are terrible, but what are you going to do about that? what are you going to do? >> trevor: hey, everybody, welcome to the daily social distancing show, i'm trevor noah. and we're back from our july 4th break. i really hope that you have stayed healthy during this crazy time. as for myself, i spent most of the break stabbing things around my apartment just to see if it was actually cake. and the good news is my roommate was not cake. the bad news is i need a new roommate. either way on tonight's show donald trump goes after a true enemy on this kroach pandemic, dr. fauci. michael kosta soferls the dilemma over reopening schools and hillary clinton drops by to make faryk meal-- make america feel bad about it's decision, let's do, this welcome to the dale's social distancing show. >> from trevor's couch in new

york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. >> let's kick things off with the black lives matter movement. although you may be hearing less about them than you used to, protests are still going on around the country. in part because police brutality is still going on around the country. and the ripple effects of this movement are reaching all aspects of american life including a long-awaited change in the nfl. >> the washington redskins have officially retired the redskins name in indian head logo after 87 years. the football team announced the change following recent pressure from spoarnses and decades of criticism that they are offensive to native americans. %-pe some time due to trademark issues. lawyer warrior, red wolves and red tails are some of the popular choices among fans on social media. major retailers already removed redskins apparel from store

shelves and websites. >> trevor: yes, after decades of resisting the washington redskins have finally decided to change their name. and look, this is a step in the right direction but it almost feels like dismantling structural racism is so difficult that instead america is just crossing off the easier items on its racism to do list. okay, next item, we got to create an equal and just society. hmmmm. all right, let's skip that one. what about changing the name of a football team and canceling aunt jemima, yeah, that should hold us over for a year. so the old name is officially gron. but now the team is searching for a new name. and i will be honest, i think when it comes to a new name they have to keep it simple, keep it seavment change the name to the washington washingtons. yeah, it's catchy, it's easy to remember. and most importantly, it honors one of the greatest americans of all time. my man, ha ha. in other news, former trump campaign advisor and man get

enically designed to look guilty, roger stone is back in the headlines. tone stone was about to begin a 40 month sentence for witness tampers, lying to congress and tampering with evidence in the mueller investigation. but it turns out it really does pay to have friends in high places. >> tonight the breaking news with president comeulted the prison sentence for his friend of several decades roger stone. >> just days before stone was set to begin his more than three year prison sentence the president making his long time friend and ally a free man. >> the 67 year old promised to never turn on the president. >> this is what stone-- howard fineman. >> he know i was under tremendous pressure to turn on him t would have eased my situation considerably but i didn't. >> republican senator mitt romney accuse the president of unprecedented historic corruption. >> this is bribery pure and simple. a quid pro quo. >> the president through this come taition is basically saying if you lied for me, if you cover up for me, if you have my back

then i will make sure that you get a get out of jail free card. >> trevor: oh wow. i think trump is going to have to update his campaign chant after this. >> lock him up. unless he's my friend. then set him free. seriously, i love you had trump is the law & order president when it comes to his enemies or marginalized groups being sent to jail, but as soon as it is one of his friends he becomes a prison abolitionist. >> the prison system in this country sowt of control. we got to fix it. roger, get out. all right, problem solved. back to the way it was. and we all see what happened here, right. roger stone lied to protect donald trump and in exchange, trump rewarded stone by getting him out of prison. and what is even more amazing is that stone's straight up said he deserved a get out of jail free card because he could have turned on trump but he didn't. like is there any interaction trump has with another person that isn't a quid pro quo.

dad, can you pass the salt? >> i pass the salt, you disappear. >> and once again donald trump has exposed the flaws in america's system. because you can be mad at trump. but america is the one who gave him the oxygen in the first place. if you have the power to release any of your friends from prison and you don't do t then you are a bitch ass friend, i will do t i will release all of my friends, you know who should be angry, the jury, think about t you are on the jury, sitting there for months listening to the testimony, deliberating, sitting in the tiny room eating the shitty sand wimps and verdict is tossed out because the guy's could-- accomplice happens to be the president i don't know why people get lawyers, you are better off spending time in the court room kissing trump's ass, that is what it should be. just trump in the chair with his back turns and if your compliment stion good enough he smashes the bult and you are frees. moving on to coronavirus. the only thing in 2020 that still hasn't been canceled. yesterday new york city recorded

zero covid-19 deaths for the first time since march. and that's truly amazing news, guys. because if this continues, then hopefully new yorkers can get back to dying from their usual things. you know, like being kicked in the throat by a subway dancer. but unfortunately, across the rest of america, things are worse than ever. >> breaking news tonight, staggering numbers out of florida. more than 15,000 covid cases confirmed in just one day. >> miami dade hospitals are at 94% icu capacity with the mayor confirming six are now full. >> if the sunshine state were its own country, it would rank fourth highest in the world for new covid cases. >> in texas confirmed cases continue to climb. nearly 6,000 reported today. hard hit michigan now seeing an yup tick in cases after hundreds attended july 4th parties. >> we see the stunning images of testing linings stretching for miles. thousands waiting weeks for results in arizona, some labs

facing a 30 day back log, 13 states are reporting testing problems. >> trevor: you know, i don't know what is worse, honestly. the fact that so many states reopened too early or the fact that they are now facing problems that should have been solved months ago. surging cases, ppe shortages, testing back logs, these are all the same problems america was dealing with back in march. so clearly other than coronavirus getting a summer tan, nothing has changed. at least they saw what happened in new york. they saw it happen here months ago. they had time to prepare. and they are still not handling it right? you know in a horror movie when the teenagers run upstairs away from the killer instead of running outside, this is like if they didn't eastern run, they just stayed on the couch watching tv, where is darren, he's dead, all right, what is the next episode, at this rate america will solve its testing issues eight or nine months after they have a vaccine. while hospitals are filling up and more people are getting sick, mickey mouse has decided the show must go on. >> disney welcomed guests back to the most magical place on earth saturday, the biggest test yet of a major corporation

opening its doors in the middle of a pandemic. >> there are strict safety and social distancing protocols. visitors are required to wear masks and will hear this message. >> for the health and safety of everything please wear a face covering, wash your hands-off enand thoroughly, cover your mouth and nose when covering and sneezing and maintain physical distancing. thank you for your cooperation. >> trevor: basically what we're sighing is why are you at disney world dumb ass. it's crazy we are in the middle of a pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands of people and there are still folks out there like life isn't scary enough. let's go on a roller coaster. i mean look, when my time comes, my time comes. but i'm going to do all i can to make sure that my obituary doesn't say cause of death, space mountain. and this isn't just dangerous for the visitors think about the risk this poses to the disinto he employees. the safest job they had right now is the one inside a 200 degree rat costume, like what dad is so cheap that this

vacation is worth the risk. honey, it's 15% off disney tickets. >> but harry, isn't there a pandemic right now. >> 15% off. you go get the kids, i'm going to load the van. >> now mickey mouse isn't the only cartoon character people have been imploring to take the coronavirus a little more seriously. because for months now people have also been begging president trump to at least lead by example and wear a mask in public. and for months he has flat out refused. but then this happened. >> breaking news, tonight a huge shift for president trump, wearing a mask in public. >> six months into the coronavirus pandemic and president trump finally wore a mask for the first time in public. he did so while visiting walter reed medical center this weekend. >> this image about the president wearing the mask will stick out to a lot of people in the days and weeks ahead. >> trevor: okay, i don't know about you, but i think this is the day donald trump finally became president. and look, i'm glad that trump

finally put a mask on, but it's got to be confusing for his supporters who have been mocking face mask this whole time. i mean to them this must be like seeing trump at a black livers matter march with aoc. an i know that is part of the reason trump resisted wearing the mask so long is because he is self-conscience about his image. that is why he didn't want to do it. so let me go on record as saying president trump, don't listen to any of the haters out there. saying you look like a diabetic bane or shredder from the nija turtle all he shreds was cheese, you look great, so please keep wearing the mask. so the good news is that trump finally seems to be catching up to the reality of the pandemic. but you know trump, now he has to pretend that he was doing a great job the whole time which means he has to find someone else to blame for doing a bad job. and will you never guess who he picked. >> the president and the nation's top infectious disease doctor are not on speaking terms. now the white house is trying to

discredit dr. anthony fauci. >> fauci now says he hasn't briefed the president in over two months. and hasn't actually seen him at the white house since june 2nd. >> in a stunning development some administration officials are treating him like a political rival, releasing what they say is a list of questionable statements by dr. fauci even though many of them were taken out of context or widely accepted in the early days of the pandemic. >> last night mr. trump fueled the apparent feud between him and dr. anthony fauci. >> dr. fawmpi is a nice man but he has made a lot of mistakes. >> trevor: unlike me who is not a very nice man but has never made any mimblaits, donald trump is spending more time trying to defeat dr. fawmpi than defeating the coronavirus. can you imagine doing actual opposition research about someone on your own team. it's like if ben put out a press release say aring jerry personally sneezes in front of

every pint of chunky monkey am don't get tyes twd, i'm not saying dr. fauci got nothing wrong, i'm not saying that, every expert got something whong when covid-19 first like when you first start baking bread you don't know how to prepare yeast properlily but after three months baking it you have enough experience to know you can get that shi it t at the store. we are four mopts into the globa pandemic and the leader of the free world just started wearing a mask. the same person think being breechg his lungs and now trying to point his tiny fingers at dr. fauci. but if you ask me the worse worst part of this is isn't just that the quhows is attaching dr. fauci but doing it like cowards with leaks to the press. if are you go fog go after someone, at least give them the respect to be up front about it, like this. >> as the kroafer pandemic rages and cases rise uncontrollably, there is one man to blame, anthony fauci. fauci says he's a doctor but

what doctor doesn't wear a stethoscope, andf he iseay leadd just their assessment when they get new information. we need leaders to whick stick to their gut assessment despite new information. >> it's going to just disappear. >> if nawchi cares so much about saving lives why didn't he do anything about the spanish flu. and if he loved americans so much, why is he palling around with suspicious immigrants. anthony fauci, definitely the only person to blame for this whole situation. >> trevor: oh boy. i think trump is going to do pretty well against dr. fauci in november. when we come back, we'll figure out how schools in america are going to reopen. yeah, we solved it. stick around introducing tostitos strips-

and creamy avocado salsa. anyways... these strips have got to be their thickest chip yet- perfect for dipping in this delicious salsa made with real avocados. they're good apart. but even better together. say what?? mmmmmm.... alright, pass me some of that green stuff. fo' shizzle. martha, we talked about this. tostitos. get to the good stuff. sixty-two thousand seven hundred and ten dollars and thirty-one cents. sofi allowed me to refinance all of my loans to one low interest rate and an affordable monthly payment. and i just feel like there's an end in sight now and that my debt doesn't define me anymore. ♪ sofi is helping me get my money right.

♪

these days, it's just nice to have something to look forward to. well, break out the good plates and tell the kids to wash up. because it's sunday dinner, even if it isn't necessarily sunday.

been there, done that. twice your cousin. from boston. karen, i'm just gonna say what everyone here is thinking. you look smokin. total smokeshow. and they never did find his finger. they had to close the pool for like an hour. ♪ i brought a date. name's sam. dig in. love is like boston lager. rich, complex and it's over too soon. right, chrissy? oh my god. ♪ >> welcome back to the daily social distancing show, thankers to the coronavirus, the big debate right now is, well, two things. one, is elbow kissing considered cheating, and two, how do you reopen schools. how you can get kids learning again but keep them and their teachers safe? because kids may not be badly affected by coronavirus, but

teachers easily could be. and a lot of people don't know this but teachers have families of their own. yeah, it's true. mrs. nicholson didn't sleep in the classroom at night, she had a house and everything. so because of this, schools are trying to come up with different solutions. some of them have decided to have outdoor classes. but that means that all the pale kids are going to fail, new york city announced it will only have kids coming to class one to three days a week like an ear, nose, throat specialist but then the question is what are parents supposed to do on the days their kids are at home. some schools in america have decided they will just throw kids into the class really and hope for the best. sort of like the hunger games except instead of money you get no grand parents. now president trump has demanded that all schools open up as normal. and he's even threatening to withhold federal funding from schools that refuse, so just so we are on the same page, he won't touch the police but he will defund the shit out of

schools. let's a agree on that, everybody wants schools to reopen. the question is can it be done safely. and the problem is it doesn't seem like the federal government knows how to make that happen. for instance, here's betsy devos, secretary of education and your new stepmom who immediately sent you to fat camp trying to explain the administration's plan. >> what are experts telling you about the appropriate level of transmission for a school before it has to shut down? >> well, i know that that is an area that the cdc is helping to provide further inside into. i can't as a nonphysician or a nonmedical expert tell you precisely what to do in the case of one child in a classroom or five children in a classroom. to be able to. >> just to be clear are you saying in areas where there are flairups that schools should revert to remote learning?

>> i'm saying that schools should have plans. >> trevor: like i treully don't understand how these bailouts for airlines, free money for the banks but when it comes to schools they are just like here say can of lie sol, good luck. i will be honest, at this point i don't understand why anybody is a teacher in america. you are underpaid, are you overworked. you have to deal with school shootings and now this? with like i don't know, maybe betsy devos' master plan is to just hope that the school shooters kill the coronavirus and the problems just cancel each other out. because i don't understand what else she is thinking. america can't just open schools because other countries have opened schools. those countries got coronavirus under control first. one comes because of the other. it is like when i was growing up, i really wanted jordans, i really wanted jordans. but i didn't realize that all my friends had jordans because thrair parents had disposable income. i didn't understand the link. so that didn't stop me from trying to have what my friends had, and you know what happened,

i kept on pushing and pushing until my birthday, i got a pair of gordons, the official shoe of gored an ramsey, for more on how to reopen schools, i am joined by a man who has been repeatedly fired as a substitute teacher, michael kosta, what is going on, kosta. >> it's great, trevor, it took me a month but i finally got rid of all of those fireworks hi laying around. >> trevor: wait, that was you, dude, i couldn't sleep-- we're going to talk about this laterment but right now the big issue in america is how can the country reopen schools safely. >> yeah, well, the good news, trevor, is that i have a solution that works out for everybody, okay. so check this out. one, we know parents want their kids out of the house. and two, we know children are less susceptible to corona, so why don't we solve both problems at once, let's send children to work at meat packing plants. think about it. the kids stay busy and we get all the chicken nuggets that god

blessed us with, you're welcome. >> trevor: holdon, kosta, you want children to spend the school day meat packing. so you are trying to bring back child labor? >> please, trevor, child labor never went away. we just outsourced it to different countries. i want to bring those american jobs back home. >> trevor: respectfully i don't think you can just eliminate the school system. >> why not? you only go to school so you can get a job. i'm cutting out the middleman, think about all the successful people that dropped out of school. bill gates, mark zuckerberg, brad pitt. >> trevor: yeah, but they dropped out of college, not second grade. >> can you imagine how much more are successful they would be if they just would have dropped out earlier? >> trevor: but the kids won't be learning anything. >> that's not truement you can learn everything that you learned in school at a meat packing plant, finding out where the t bone is, that is biology. learning how much antibiotics a cow can take before it dies,

that is chemistry. how about some math problems. if timee is boxing ground beef at ten boxes a minute, how many warnings does it take before we fire slow ass timmy. >> trevor: how many. >> none, because i caught timmy talking to a union organizer. you are fired, timee. pack up your shit. bye. >> trevor: okay, kosta, not only is this idea despicable, it will never work. >> on the contrary, trevor. i'm running a pilot program right now. i got mei neighbors' kids packing meat as we speak and i got so much meat i don't even know what to do with it, hold on. i got to go. it sounds like masson got his overall stuck in the meat grinder again, i'm going to call you back. >> masson, you're okay, just breathe, buddy. >> trevor: michael kosta, everybody. i'm definitely reporting him. all right, when we come back, i will be talking to the winner of the 2016 popular vote, hillary clinton. don't go away.

this... watch... tells... time and takes phone calls. and communicates with satellites thousands of miles above the earth and tracks your distance underwater and tracks your activity and tells you which direction you're going and has an app that measures the electrical waves traveling through your heart otherwise known as an electrocardiogram. so just to reiterate this... watch... tells... time (among other things). well then chill your reese's, dessyou'll eat it slower.ast? i wouldn't know i swallow mine whole like a duck. not sorry. reese's. well the names have all changed since you hung around but those dreams have remained and they've turned around

daily social distancing show, earlier today i spoke with former secretary of state and 2016 democratic presidential nominee hillary rodham clinton. we discussed the pandemic, the upcoming collection and the hulu docuseries about her life called hillary, check it out. >> secretary clinton, welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> well, i'm social distancing in my house and it's great to talk to you today too. >> trevor: genuinely, a lot of the time i find myself wondering, just like what you are doing and where you are as a human being. because i know if i was in your position, i would spend most of my time tweeting "i told you so" and i would be like, i would walk around the street just looking at people saying it could have been me, it could have been me. so like what do you do? i genuinely would like to know,

what do you do? >> well, you know, before the lockdown i was doing all of that. i mean there is probably videos. (laughter) >> you just go find it or maybe i will help you. you know, for the last what, how many months i've been at home. >> trevor: three months. >> since march like everybody else. and i have done a lot of walking in the woods, one of my favorite things to do. i have done a lot of reading and some writing. this was the big year that we were going to be celebrating the 100th anniversary of american women, finally getting the right to vote, and working to support the groups that i helped support through my organization onward together. and then i get to spend time with my grandchildren which i have to say is the biggest silver lining, trevor, that you can imagine during this very difficult time. so you know, i don't know what i do all day but i'm exhausted every night. >> trevor: i feel like that's ever in corona, we're all tired and we don't really know why. i do know that you have been

really active and you don't-- having your voice heard, one of the biggest things you have been passionate about is voting. it seems like america is on an ominous path to a november date when there is going to be a lot of questions in and around the election. donald trump is the against mail-in voting wa, do you make of this and what do you think the path is to getting people the easiest access to casting their votes. >> republican have two prongs to their strategy to try to win. the first is try to prevent as many people who think they won't vote for them from voaght. so you know, make the lines really long where young people vote or african-americans vote. or hispanics vote. try to make vote by mail as difficult as possible, claim it's fraudulent when indeed it's not, in fact, that is how donald trump votes and everybody who knows about vote by mail understands that. and so i have been working with a group called democracy dock et lead by the lawyer mark elias to

help support the lawsuits that are being brought around the country just to make the vote available. you know, to make it clear that look, let's have a fair election, and that means let as many people who are eligible citizens to go vote. >> are you at all concerned about irregularities in voting or fraud? i mean for instance we saw the case in new jersey, i think it was a few weeks ago now, where ironically it was some-- councilman who i think was changing the votes in republicans favor, is there a part of you that is worried that donald trump will be able to use any of those stories to try and undermine the entire election until you see, that there is that one and that one. i don't think we should trust this election at all because it says that i have lost. >> well, i think it is a fair point to raise as to whether or not it if he loses he is going to go quietly or not. and we have to be ready for

that. but there have been so many academic studies and other analyses which point out that it is just, st an inaccurate, fraudulent claim. there isn't that problem. all the games that are played and all of the photo i.d.'s and any kind of restriction that can be imposed to try to keep the vote down, in places that aren't going to vote for help cans, that's the real danger to the integrity of our election, that combined with misinformation and disinformation and all of the online shenanigans that we saw in 2016. so i am, look, i want a fair election. if people get to vote and they, for whatever reason they vote for donald trump, okay. we'll accept it. not happily but i don't think that's what will happen because i think the more people who can actually get to the polls whether by mail or in person and imhet their votes counted, then we are going to have the kind of

election we should have and then it will be a win both in the popular vote and the electoral college. >> you are the star and subject of a docuseries on hulu. and for many people, i think maybe even myself included, i saw a side of you that was refreshing and different and for lack of a better term you had a swag about you that not many people knew you had, you know, do you feel more free or is that just captured well in the diseumentary, or are you like a part of that thiem's free, skew whatever. >> there is, a really big a part of that. the documentary, i was intoar viewed for 35 hours. >> trevor: wow. >> and my feeling once i agreed to do the project a wask you know, this is it. i'm not running for anything. i'm going to just, you know t say it like it is, the best i

can. and a lot of people have said what you said, pie gosh, i never saw that side of her or whatever. and so you know, i, i know that the pressures of being in public life and being misunderstood and being-- kind of subjected to the attacks and the criticism, i know that it probably made me a little less available and open and probably a little hunkered down, if you will. and my life say little bit like a rorschach test where you know, people who are comfortable with women, seeking and holding power, being outspoken, you know, see it and think oh my gosh, well yeah, of course. and people who aren't, maybe they will gin to you know think differently about that. >> trevor: many women have said hillary clinton got further and did more than i ever dared to think was possible. if there is another hillary out there who is running and beginning her journey, what would you warn her about or tell

her to try and look out for to just give her a little advantage in a world where she desperately needs it. >> you will be criticized no matter what you do. and so take criticism seriously because sometimes your critics actually can teach you something. but don't take it personally. don't let it eat away at you. don't let it knock you down and keep you down. the women who i admire that chelsea and i wrote that book about, are women who are not just in it for themselves. whatever it is that most vaits you, have something bigger than yourself, that is going to get you up in the morning and keep going. because it can be brutal out there. it can be incredibly difficult. you can be called a nasty woman, for heaven sake. so what you have got to do is just believe, not just in yourself, alone, but in what you are trying to do for others. and that will keep you motivated no malt err what.

>> don't go away because when we come back, we'll have more of this interview with secretary clinton. i got an oriole here. eh. common bird. ooh look! over here! something much better. there it is. peacock, included with xfinity x1. remarkable. fascinating. -very. it streams tons of your favorite shows and movies, plus the latest in sports news and... huh - run! the newest streaming app has landed on xfinity x1. now that's... simple. easy. awesome.

xfinity x1 just got even better with peacock premium included at no additional cost. no strings attached. just say "peacock" into your voice remote to start watching today. daily social distancing show, here is more of my interview with hillary clinton. let me ask you this question. are you now ready-to-wear a mask now that donald trump has finally put one on? i'm assuming you just haven't been wearing one waiting for this moment. >> yeah, no i've actually been wearing one. and i think, you know, better late than never, i guess. my daughter had a great tweet which i retweeted where she said look, i'm not being sarcastic, if he would sell masks with his face on them and go ahead and make the money, at least it would send a good message. thatn once in a mask, maybe those people who still take their cues from him will similarly start wearing masks. >> because we're in a desperate situation again, trevor. i mean look, i florida, if it

were an individual country right now would have the fourth highest rate in the world after the overall u.s. and brazil, india. so you know, we are a long way from getting this under control. >> there's no denying that every country once they got an idea of what the coronavirus was handled it differently. when you look back at the way america handled it, once people understood how severe this was, where do you think president trump went wrong or where do you think a good president would have done something differently? >> well, i think you have to start with president trump total hostility toward science, evidence, fact, logic, reason. he is a showman, he is a reality tv star. he likes to try to bend reality to suit his own preferences. and he clearly started hearing about this back in january through intelligence briefings that he either read or he didn't

read. but even before that he had disbanded the unit within the national security council that would try to get ahead of and follow the development of pandemics abroad. he had really made it clear that he was more interested in the optics than the facts when the virus first hit and he kept saying you only have 15 cases, it will be over soon. so you have got to begin and end with his total lack of leadership, his indifference toward what this virus has cost us, not only in lies but in jobs an livelihoods and now towards, he doesn't want to hear from our leading infectious disease expert like dr. fauci. he doesn't want to hold the sham of the meeting that he used to hold to try to talk about it, he is hoping that it either goes away or it leaves our attention span so that he can get back to

you know pretending to be president. >> you very rightfully call him a showman, that is something we all acknowledge. donald trump has an uncanny availability to put on a show and just really, you know, suck all of the attention that the media wants to give him. there has to be a part of you that you know, i guess is a little angry at that, because when are you running for president, a lot of it in america specifically is about putting on the show. do you sometimes wish there was like a test that you would have to write, because are you sitting at home and you have so many of these answers and you have studied so hard but really you got beaten by a showman who just knew how to win the ratings, how do you feel about that when you see what america is going through now? >> well, it breaks may heart. because i tried to warn people during the campaign that he was not fit for the office. he wasn't prepared for the office. that his appeal to the basist instincts monk us was really

setting us up for even more divisiveness. and then i thought literally from the inauguration forward, i take no pleasure in that. because look, i want to root for america, i want to root for anybody who is our president. it is just hard to see what he has done to the office, is undermining of our institutions, his absolute disregard for the rule of law. and i think you are right, that it is, it is painful for me but i think for many americans who expected better. even people who voted for him expected him to rise to the job. and increasingly that has become just impossible to expect any longer. >> i have to ask you about roger stone. help mee understand. a, why do president-- should presidents have the power to pardon anybody, eply somebody who is related to them in a case and secondly, what precedence

could trump be setting for america/do you think it's going to be a precedence where a president says i will pardon anybody who protects me by not snitching. >> well, i think you just summed up why roger stone was pardoned. i mean he basically threat inned trump, you know, he basically said i sure don't want to go to jail, an i sure have a lot more to say. and boy, i just wish there would be somebody who could stop me from having to go to jail. and guess what, trump intervened. this is an extension of the total disregard for the rule of law. the pardon power is supposed to be used for compassionate purposes. to try to write wrongs, to try to make sure that people are not being punished unfairly or have been pirned enough. and in this case, it's continuation of the coverup, because the one thing that trump is fearful of, when it comes to

his being spt that finally we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was. and how he was involved in the seeking of foreign help and the utilization of it and how roger stone was critical to that. but you know, unless trump is defeated at the polls in november, we will never really know everything there is to know about this really deep ongoing dismantling of institutions and undermining the rule of law and the original sin of the way that he actually won the election. so roger stone was in the middle of it all. and that is why trump had to cover it up. >> secretary clinton, thank you so much for taking the time todayment i hope you enjoy the gardening, your walks in the wood and hopefully you will be back out on the streets saying i told you so sooner than later. >> i will look forward to that,

trevor, stay healthy and stay safe yourself. >> trevor: will do, thank you very much. thank you so much again for that secretary clinton. that's our show for tonight, but before we shortage. and it's because most poll workers are over 60 and with covid they are understandably not showing up. but fewer poll workers mean fewer polling stations are going to be open and that means longer lines that not everybody can afford to stay and wait in, especially people of color in working complas areas. but the good news is most poll working is paid and in some states you can be as young as 16 to do it. so if you are interested and you have the time to be a poll worker and you have the time to increase the chances of your democracy succeeding, this is your chance to save granny, protect your democracy and get paid. sign up at the link below to learn more. until tomorrow, stay safe out there, and wear a mask. like the president, now here it

is, your moment of zen. >> i'm all for masks. i think masks are good, if i were in a group of people and i was close. >> you would wear one. >> i mean i would have no problem. actually, i had a mask on, i sort of like the way i looked, okay, i thought it was okay. it was a dark black mask and i thought it looked okay. looked like the lone ranger. ♪ hey, so we saw a new billboard. yeah? pretty cool, huh? andy (aside): what better way to announce our new slightly-lower prices than with an ad campaign? and what better face for an ad campaign than our new regional manager? how'd it look? you've seen it, right? no. andy, somebody defaced it.

what? how? [laughter] morning, stanley. [howling laughter] jim (aside): there's this thing that people tend to do with billboards. how do i put this? if there's an opportunity for a graffiti artist to work in a phallic shape, interacting with the artwork, it'll happen. and andy gave them that opportunity. erin, how long did we order those billboards for? six months. oh, god. i need you to call the billboard company. great billboard! funny, edgy, right up to the line, without crossing it. loved it. which one did you see? washington street. the one with, like, 20 dongs on it. ok, don't be gross. dwight: what's going on? somebody defaced the billboards we just put out, in an inappropriate way. oh, that's funny. wait. from the photo shoot with you and me? yeah, dwight. no. no. no, no, no, no, no, no!
