What's up everyone? Welcome to TYT. I'm Anna Casperi. And joining us today is

Ida Rodriguez. And I already know your typing in those love comments because you guys love it when Ida's on. I love it when she's on Ida. Thank you for coming on the show today. Thank you for having me.

So let me make a few notes about our partner and give you an update on our fundraising efforts. And then of course we'll move on to the train wreck, which was of course, Jonathan Swan interviewing Donald Trump. Many of you tweeted me about it. Yes, we are going to talk about it. Along with Trump's efforts to ban TikTok. Lots of great stories to get to. But first let me tell you about aspiration. We've joined aspiration, our partner to basically engage in a sweepstakes which is the way

is super exciting because the giveaway is an e-scooter and it's nearly $2,000 for an e-scooter, which is pretty pricey. And if you want to look as cool as J.R. Jackson does on that e-scooter, all you need to do is go to TYT.com slash green summer to find all the details on how to enter the win. But real quick to go through it, all you need to do is open a save and spend account.

By aspiration for your chance to win. If you already have that account, you also do have an opportunity to win by referring friends. But again, you need to learn the details by going to TYT.com slash green summer.

Real quick, let's take a look at our thermometer. As you guys know, we're trying to raise some money to keep TYT sustainable. And one of the best ways to do that is to be held accountable by you or audience. And yesterday we were like around 7,000 something.

And now we're at $8,907. Thank you so much for supporting TYT. If you'd like to contribute any little bit counts, go to TYT.com slash go.

All right, well, let's get to the news.

I think it's under control. I'll tell you what, how? A thousand Americans are dying a day. They are dying. That's true. And it is what it is.

At this point, most Americans are used to Donald Trump's callous nature, especially when it comes to the death and destruction caused by coronavirus and his inability to provide any type of leadership or response to this pandemic that would save people's lives.

During a recent interview with Axios is Jonathan Swan, Donald Trump gave us even more insight into just how little he cares about the lives of Americans, the lives of Americans who have already died and the lives of Americans that could be lost moving forward.

Let's go to another portion of his conversation.

The figure I look at is death and death is going up. There's a thousand a day if you look at death. Yes, going up again. Let's daily death take a look at some of these charts. I love to look. Let's look and if you look at death.

Start to go up again. Well, right here, the United States is lowest in numerous categories. We're lower than the world.

Lower than Europe? What? Take a look. Right here. Here's case death.

Oh, you're doing death as a proportion of cases. I'm talking about death as a proportion of population. That's where the US is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.

You can't do that. You have to go by where? Look, here is the United States. You have to go by the cases. The cases? Why not as a proportion of places?

Well, Donald Trump did slip a little bit of truth in that statement when he said that the United States is lower than the world.

And if he's referring to how poorly we've handled this pandemic compared to other countries around the world, he would be correct.

In fact, let me just go to some of the updated numbers on this pandemic in the United States because Jonathan Swan is correct. A thousand people, oftentimes more than a thousand people die a day as a result of coronavirus.

And currently we have 158,000 total deaths. And the US population is 323.2 million people. So about 0.05% of the population has died as a result of this pandemic.
