TDR Live: Juneteenth, Breonna Taylor's Killer Fired, and Trump Weighs In

The Damage Report host John Iadarola is joined by Brett Erlich, host of TYT’s Happy Half Hour, to close out the week and break down all of today’s major news for you!

What Juneteenth commemorates and the work for racial justice that still remains to be done. Trump calls mail-in voting the biggest threat to his re-election, acknowledging that if everyone was allowed to fairly participate, he’d be done for. Trump takes fake news to another level, tweeting a video of toddlers so deceptive that it must be some sort of strategy. Klobuchar announces she’s no longer seeking to be Biden’s VP pick to make room for a woman of color. AOC just released a new ad and it’s awesome. It’s time to take out the trash!! Find out who John, Brett and you (yes, you!) picked as the Garbage People of the Week.

"As demonstrators across America fight to liberate black people, whether through calls to abolish the police or through legislative action against systemic racism, the country is getting ready to celebrate the 155th anniversary of one of its earliest liberation moments: Juneteenth.

A portmanteau of “June” and “nineteenth,” Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when a group of enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned that they were free from the institution of slavery. But, woefully, this was almost two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation; the Civil War was still going on, and when it ended, Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger traveled to Texas and issued an order stating that all enslaved people were free, establishing a new relationship between “former masters and slaves” as “employer and hired labor.” As much as Juneteenth represents freedom, it also represents how emancipation was tragically delayed for enslaved people in the deepest reaches of the Confederacy."
