- Hello? I'm a news person, and here's some news.
Last week devastation literally rained down onto Houston, TX
and surrounding areas when Hurricane Harvey ballooned from a
category one to category four alarmingly fast, after passing
over a region of warm ocean called an eddy.
Because the intensity of the storm is determined in part
by how warm the ocean is, and not to get all political,
but scientifically the global ocean surface temperature has
risen 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 130 years.
Which might not seem like a lot, but in Celsius, it's
.61111 degrees, so...
(news broadcast transition music)
So, it might not seem like a lot, but in terms of affecting
climate, it is.
Storms are getting worse.
Harvey's already had more rainfall than any other storm
on record in the continental United States.
It had three times as much rain as 2005's Katrina.
Katrina had the biggest storm surge recorded in US history.
According to the intergovernmental panel on climate change,
there will be fewer storms globally,
but the intensity will increase.
Which sounds bad, but is in fact, very bad.
And even if you don't think climate change is caused by
humans and carbon emissions,
cough cough, it, cough is, puke.
It's still happening.
Even our climate change denying president wants to build a
sea wall at his golf resort in Ireland,
citing yes, climate change.
It's going to cost more and more lives, and if that's not
your thing, it's going to cost more and more moneys.
Katrina cost about 108 billion dollars, which is, I'm told,
lots of money.
Harvey could cost an estimated 190 billion dollars according
to AccuWeather, which is I'm told, the name of a company.
Speaking of companies, people.
And speaking of people, this segue is really bad, I'm sorry.
There are just a lot of things to pack in about this.
Because we're woefully unprepared for these disasters,
which disproportionately affects poor people and displace
large populations, and in some cases, cause explosions at
chemical plants.
And our infrastructure isn't prepared for this.
And all of these problems will get worse.
And our president wants to fix our infrastructure through
privatization and tolls.
Something good for companies, and bad for people.
And the president's proposed budget makes big cuts to FEMA,
something good for storms and bad for people.
But in the face of adversity, and hardship,
people still come together.
Here's a line not of people wanting food or water, but of
people wanting to volunteer.
Here's a line of people with boats driving to Houston to
aid in rescue efforts.
And even though a reporter called the cops on survivors
taking food from a flooded grocery store during a (bleep)
disaster, and law enforcement put up immigration checkpoints
during evacuation from a (bleep) disaster, people also
managed to shame Pastor Joel Osteen into opening the doors
of his $100 million dollar megachurch, so survivors would
have a place to stay.
Something Jesus would not need to be shamed to do.
Something a furniture store owner like Mattress Mack
wouldn't and didn't need to be shamed to do.
So even though we're not doing the things necessary to
prepare for these disasters, people still come together
during them and lift each other up, sometimes literally.
Like this human chain pulling someone out of the water.
The strong, the wealthy, help the weak and the poor.
Like how during this disaster the president made a speech on
tax reform, and is taxing the rich and his rich friends?
(buzzer sound)
No? Eh.
Nothing about the disgustingly wealthy contributing more to
lift up the less fortunate?
(buzzer sound)
No, okay.
He's cutting his own taxes?
(bell ringing)
Okay, then let's not talk about it.
And let's not talk about the president?
(news broadcast transition music)
Fine, so yeah, as the president of a whole country,
President Donald Trump visited an area near the damage
from the storm, and then some dumbest (bleep) (bleep)
in the planet tweeted Trump is now standing in a
puddle acting like a President - give me a break.
And of course, that's actually a tweet from President
Trump in 2012, about President Obama comforting
Hurricane Sandy victims.
So I guess it's only fair that we now do a segment called
Standing in a Puddle Acting Like a President.
So first, the president decided to go to Camp David
by himself to monitor the storm while Vice President
Mike Pence ran the White House situation room.
So, pretty good start, president-wise?
He quickly tweeted, just arrived at Camp David where I'm
closely watching the path and doings of Hurricane Harvey,
as it strengthens to a Category 3. Be safe!
Then he quickly tweeted, just arrived at Camp David, where
I am monitoring the path and doings of Hurricane Harvey
as it strengthens to a Class 3.
125 miles per hours winds!
And then he quickly kept both of those up.
He live tweeted the storm and gave weather updates, like a
this says president,
but I feel like it should say weather man.
And he got a few good photos of him alone at Camp David,
acting like a President, his words.
And, I'm sorry, that is a sharp hat.
Like, I know this is a serious situation, and you know,
disaster, but where can I get a hat like that?
Oh, the president's website for $40 dollars.
Can we zoom in to the $40 dollar hat that a president
advertised during a national disaster?
No, zoom in more.
Even more.
No, like zoom in so it's a single pixel, like a white void
from which we all may find relief.
Thank you.
(news broadcast transition music)
He kept live tweeting and marveling at the historic size
of the storm, as if to say,
look at me and me my big boy storm.
I have only the best hurricanes.
Without quite arriving at the conclusion that maybe this is
a global trend about which he should be concerned.
He tweeted some places people can donate to help out with
relief efforts, except that's a lie, he tweeted promoting
a book by Sheriff David Clarke, a human rights violator.
And then instead of standing in a puddle acting like a
president, he walked over a puddle acting like a President,
and traveled to Texas right after grabbing two $40 president
hats, which this show is now brought to you by!
President hats, continuing the long tradition of presidents
hawking their overpriced crap during emergencies.
Like the letter u, especially when it's followed by the
letter s, and especially when that s is followed by an a,
well buy (bleep) buy one of these!
From the president.
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
(news broadcast transition music)
Anyway, he eventually got to Texas to survey damage and to
perhaps meet with and empathize with survivors
of the tragedy.
Do we have a clip?
- What a crowd, what a turnout!
- Do we have a better clip?
- No.
- Okay, well according to the president, quote after
witnessing first hand the horror and devastation caused by
Hurricane Harvey, my heart goes out even more so to the
great people of Texas!
And the best photo they had to illustrate witnessing first
hand was the president watching the weather on a TV in a
slick and stylish president hat,
just $40 on the president's website.
President hats.
Ethical, but more importantly, very ethical.
I don't want to talk about the president anymore.
(news broadcast transition music)
Here's some news.
The New York Times revealed that during the 2016 campaign,
an associate of President Trump's was working on negotiating
a real eastate deal with a man named Vlad Putin, who is the
president of Russia at the time.
Oh!
Still, now!
Same guy, still president of Russia.
The associate assured that a Trump tower in Moscow would
quote get Donald elected.
The associate is Felix Sater, literally a Russian mobster,
who in 1998 pleaded guilty to racketeering for a $40 million
dollar stock fraud scheme that involved two of New York
City's infamous five families.
And he went to jail in 1991 for stabbing a broker in
the face with the stem of a martini glass.
He also ran Bayrock, a real estate company that worked with
the Trump organization on several projects, and had an
office in Trump tower.
But anyway, this random guy, Felix Sater, emailed Trump's
lawyer, Michael Cohen, to say quote, our boy can become
president of the USA and we can engineer it.
I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this.
And then, reading ahead, just scanning here.
Trump became president, and that couldn't still be true.
That, that shouldn't still be true.
Like all that stuff I just said, like they got him, right?
What?
Are you kidding me?!
(news broadcast transition music)
Here's some news.
Hollywood has decided to take a big swing for feminism,
and do an all-girl remake of Lord of the Flies, which was
about the replication of systematic toxic masculinity
and violence.
So maybe just making the characters girls is actually a
terrible idea, regardless of who's making it, which is,
yup, two men.
Can't wait.
Can we end on a good note this week?
(news broadcast transition music)
Here's some news.
Rising Democratic Senator Kamala Harris has said that she'll
co-sponsor Bernie Sanders' upcoming Medicare for all bill,
further pushing the idea that healthcare is a human right.
And we as a nation should be able to lift everyone up and
take care of each other.
Because in terms of payers, Bernie would have one.
Like single payer.
And he would have won the election.
(concluding news broadcast music)
I normally don't talk in this part, but I don't like the
silence so, I'll just... ♫ Ba, ba, ba, ba.
♫ Ba, ba, ba, ba.
Hello?
