The daily show with Trevor Noah Trevor first, lets talk about a Major Development in the president ial race. After staying on the sidelines throughout the democratic primary, president Barack Hussein obama has now made an endorsement. Choosing joe to be my Vice President was one of the best decisions i ever made and that the why im so proud to endorse joe biden for the president of the United States. Trevor yes, my friends, barack obama has officially endorsed joe biden. Now, i know some people think its weird obama waited this long to give biden his blessing, but really this is just his african side coming out. This is likely what african fathers do. Now that you have taken on your enemies by yourself, you are a man today. Now i can call you my son. So i wasnt im not saying you were not my son. I said if you failed defeat the lion, i would disown you. All right, before we catch up on the coronavirus update, fun in our light hearted segment a ray of sunshine. Lets kick things off with lego. One of the worlds biggest toy manufacturers and destroyier of bare feet. Theyve announced that they have converted some of their molding machines to help make protective equipment for medical workers, and this is so great that lego is now stepping in and helping healthcare workers with p. P. E. I mean, i just dont know how comfortable a lego mask will be, but theyre trying. Also, if theres one thing we know about legos is no one builds what theyre actually supposed to build. Its going to be like eh, mr. Doctor, did you get the lego mask . Yeah, but i built a helicopter in indonesia, not everyone is willing to stay inside, so in response one village came up with a mooooood solution a village in indonesia is using an unusual method to try and curb the spread of the coronavirus. Take a look at this, locals are dressing up as ghosts to patrol the resident streets trying to spook residents into respecting home orders. Officials say the plan originally backfired when people ventured out to take photos of the ghost for social media. Trevor i dont know what crazier here, the fact this village tried to use dwoases to scare people back into their houses, or the fact that the people heard there were ghosts outside and tried to get pictures for social media . Like, what if we become . What has social media made us . Theres a ghost and youre, like, im going to outside . Im willing to bet if the exorcist head twisting thing happened today, instead of being scared, people would be, like, oh, my god can you do that again . That would make an amazing tik tok. Hey, hey, hey finally, with coronavirus shutting down most to have the american economy, every state has had to make their own decisions about which businesses are essential. All right . Which businesses are essential to remain open. In california, they decided that some weed dispensaries could stay open. Texas has said that gun stores are essential. And in florida, they went with this meanwhile the wwe was back performing live shows last night at the Performance Center in orlando after it was deemed an essential business. Orange county mayor said the wrestling Entertainment Company was not initially considered to be so but the wwe reached out to the governor and it was changed because he said the economy is critical to floridas economy. Trevor yes, florida. The governor of florida has officially given the green light to the wwe as an essential business. There is one thing, though since the wrestling has been taping during corona, the story lines have gotten pretty weird. Hhh, i saw you touching your face, and you didnt wash your hands you are about to pay im gonna flatten your curve trevor now, whats really interesting is, initially, the wwe wasnt considered essential but then they reached out to the governor, and we actually have footage of the wwe negotiating with the governor. The governor sabt to get into it with the wwe this could be anyones match rollings is assaulting desantis oh, thats got to hurt how much can one politician take . What is going on here . Trevor all right, thats it for the ra the ray of sunshi. Lets get into the headlines. Because how new it is, scientists are learning new things about the coronavirus how you can catch it, how you can spread it, how you can hurt its feelings by saying its just like the flu that one hits here and now a new c. D. C. Study says that coronavirus could be spreading on the bottom of our shoes. Except, of course, for crocks. Even coronavirus doesnt want to touch those but, yeah, this is real. They say coronavirus could be spreading on the bottom of our shoes. So as a precaution, i would recommend that everyone keep their shoes as clean as possible. Im talking black teenager levels. Thats how clean your sneak, should be. Meanwhile, while some countries around the world have managed to get coronavirus under control, others who took too long to act are now struggling. Russia is one of those countries. And they are now dealing with a sudden surge of new cases. In fact, its gotten so bad that president Vladimir Putin has openly admitted openly admitted that we have a lot of problems and we dont have much to brag about. And, in my opinion, this is the biggest reason we need to defeat coronavirus because not only is it killing people and destroying economies, its even making Vladimir Putin insecure. Hell, hes even started covering up when he rides his horse. Its just not the same. While russia is dealing with its first outbreak, south korea might be dealing with part two. Authorities in that country are now saying coronavirus has reactivated in more than 100 patients who had already tested negative for the virus. Im sorry, guys, but this is bullshit. Gone out of the people and now its coming back . How are you going to do that, corona . How are you going to come back for the sequel before the first movie is even over . Like thanos popping up during the first iron man, hey, its me dont snap those fingers we have to meet black panther and thor and i think theres a e bow and arrow guy, hes like a fan and get to tag along weve got to meet loot of people. See, this is where the coronavirus messed up because if drova is trying to start up again, that means we already know its moves. So this time were going to protect tom hanks. This time were going to get the extra ventilators we need and this time im going to kidnap my barber before we get locked down so i dont look like i have been lost at sea for two years. Look at me thats it for the headlines. Lets get into the big story. From the moment coronavirus started to affect the United States, you could tell that President Trump was deeply concerned that this pandemic would have hurt his ability to brag about the economy, and thats why, from the first day the country was shut down, trump has been asking one question when can we open this mother ~bleep back up . With nearly 17 million americans filing unemployment claims in the last three weeks the president is eager to open the country again for business by may 1. I call it the opening our Country Task Force or opening our country council. Im going to have to make a decision, and i only hope to god that its the right decision, but i would say, without question, its the biggest decision ive ever had to make. Trevor yes, the biggest decision trump has ever had to make. Even bigger than when he had to decide whether to abort eric or let him finish high school. Now, the president isnt wrong, figuring out when to open the country is an extremely complicated decision, all right. For one, experts have warned that if the country is opened too soon, we could experience a second wave of coronavirus by july or even august. Because corona might seem like its finished, but if were not careful, all of a sudden, it can come back even stronger, you know. Think of coronavirus like that one singer in a black church was blind but now i see thank you so much. Oooh, oooh, oooh thank you. I see i see and heres another thing, medical experts have warned that sufficient testing, its hard to send everyone back into the world because you will have no way to know who has the virus and whos already immune. And lets be honest, right now, america is still worse attesting than aunt beckys kids. Okay, now, one solution that is being looked at by some country is whats being called an immunity passport which would allow people who have already survived coronavirus to move around freely. Thats a pretty decent idea but the only concern is that if people who have had corona can move around freely, then some people might want to get the virus intentionally so they can also move around freely, all right . It makes sense. Its the same way everyone rushes to lose their virginity at prom so they get to hang out with the cool kids at college. There are a lot of things to consider here. President trump says hes going to bails his decision to reopen the economy on a lot of facts and a lot of instincts, also. This is the same guy whose insirveghts told him to look directly into the sun during an eclipse. as trump for all we know, it might give you superpowers. No ones ever done it, have you ever asked why . On coronavirus specifically, trumps instincts have been wrong from the start. Yesterday at his daily presser, trump was asked what he did to prepare for corona during the month of february. And he very angrily couldnt come up with an answer. Reid the argument is that you bought yourself some time and you didnt use it to prepare hospitals, you didnt use it to ramp up testing. Trump youre so youre so youre so disgraceful its so disgraceful, the way you say that. Reid americans are dead. Supposed to make people trump i just went over it. Reid in an unprecedented crisis. I just went over it. Nobody thought we should do it, and when i did it reid but what did you do with the time that you bought . Trump you know what we did . Reid in february. Trump you know what we did . What do you do when you have no case in the whole United States . Reid you had cases in february. Trump excuse me. You reported it, zero cases, zero deaths on january 17th. Reid january, the entire month of february. A. I said in january. What about that gap, what did you do in february from the time that your travel ban trump a lot, and well give you a list. What we did, in part of it was here. We did a lot. Look, you know youre a fake. We know that. Your whole network, and the way you covered is fake. And not all of you let the people who are wise to you thats why you have a lower Approval Rating than youve ever had before times three. Trevor okay that that was a master class in dodging the question. Trump pulled every single trick in the book. He said hell give the proof later. He then tried to change the topic and he even called the reporter a fake. I feel like he was two seconds away from just pretending he doesnt speak english. Sorry, folks, no hablas ingles. So few hablas, zero hablas. Luckily, the truth is that america doesnt really need to rely on the president s instincts here. Governors are the ones who lock down their states and governors are the ones who will decide when the to open the states back up. In fact, yesterday, governors on both the east coast and the west coast formed multistate pacts to decide together when to open the economy up, and this is actually a brilliant idea in the absence of leached from the white house. This is truly a brilliant idea. In fact, when i think about it, all the states should just join up. Yeah, think about it. All the states should join up, and they should work in unison with each other, you know, like they could call it the the together states in america. Goddam thats brilliant. Ive got to write that down. Now, when trump heard the states were going to be deciding on whether or not to reopen their economies regardless of their decision, he was quick to remind people his business cards night say president , but yall better treat him like a king. At the white house, President Trump made the stunning claim that only he has the power to reopen the country, not individual governors. Trump the president of the United States has the authority to do what the president has the authority to do, which is very powerful. The president of the United States calls the shots. They cant do anything without the approval of the president of the United States. When you say my authority, the president s authority, not mine. Its not me. When you say the president of the United States, the authority is total. Thats the way its got to be. Reporter your authority is total . Trump its total. Its total. Reporter what provision in the constitution gives the president the power to open or close state economies and then trump numerous provisions. Well give you a legal brief if you want. Trevor okay, just so were on the same page, trump is now promised us a list of all the preparations he took in february, and an explanation of why he has total power as the president. And im assuming hell deliver all of those pieces of paper when he sends over his tax returns and his high School Report on to kill a mockingbird. Yeah, at this point, trump has more pages to release than george r. R. Martin. Wheres the final book, george . You have been stuck at home with nothing else to do no more excuses, george. Im going to come find you and ask you this question in person. This is not a threat. And you know its crazy how throughout this crisis trump has been pushing responsibility on to the governors at every opportunity, thats what hes been doing, find your own ventilators, negotiate for your own p. P. E. , you tilsit sens to stay at home. Thats not my job. But now now that its getting close to that time when america might be reopening the economy, all of a sudden hes, like, me, me, i get to push the button, thats me, i get to do it.

Thanks to coronavirus, everyone has taken up video chatting, from business meetings, happy hours, sometimes both at the same time. But how do we navigate this brave new world . Heres dos and donts for all of those about to video chat. Dont begin a work call by asking age, sex, location. Do make sure the camera is pointed directly as your face.

Its okay to look good get into it the lips, girl if its a work call, do make sure youre paying attention. Theres nothing more embarrassing than repeating what a coworker just said.

Dont forget to exit the cal when youre done. Thanks. Im glad that things over. Trevor thanks, everyone. When we come back, ill be talking to christina koch, an american astronaut who just got back to earth after eleven months in space. So if anyone can teach us about social distancing, its going to be here. Dont go anywhere. Well be right back. Isnt just a department. Its a voice on the other end of the phone. A note to say youre on our mind. A willingness to come to you. The world and how we interact with each other is changing. But that will never change who we are at lexus. Now, more than ever, you and your needs come first. Find out what Service Options are available in your area at lexus. Com people first the daily distancing show. Earlier today, i spoke with u. S. Astronaut christina koch. Check it out. Christina koch. Welcome to the daily distancing show. And i guess more importantly, welcome back to earth. Thank you very much. It is great to be with you, and its great to be back on earth, too. Trevor you were out in space for the Longest Mission that a female astronaut has ever ever undertaken. You have now since returned. Was there a little part of you that regrets coming back, with everything thats going on in the world . You know, i have to feel a little part of me always wishes i were in space. Ive felt that since i was young, actually my entire life. But its great to be back on earth. I wouldnt trade it for the world. I will say living through this is probably one of the most Amazing Things i will have lived through. Would never have wished for it to happen, but see hough people are coming together is a great thing to witness in person. Trevor lets talk about your journey in space and then coming home. Spending eleven months in space is no easy undertaking, especially because of what happens to your body. I remember when i went to visit n. A. S. A. , they told me what happens to thenauts physically, mentally. You have to try to work out in zero gravity. A lot of it actually sounded like social distancing, what we have to do here on earth. How to you prevent yourself from going stir crazy when youre stuck in that small environment for so long . Definitely. I think its all about how you frame it in your attitude. Like now what were going through. For me was to put the right repeat in my head. If i said, man, i wish i could have a latte or something ridiculous, and replace it about something unique about now that ill never have anything wow, ill be bummed out when wont be able to see the auroras in space anymore. So instead of, when is this going to be over, youre savoring every moment. Trevor at home we have to sit here and think about the positives. Oh, wow, i will be so sad when i have to hug people i dont like anymore. Thats right. For introverts, you can think of that. Trevor keep the positive thinking going. You made history in more than one way out in space because not only were you the first woman to spend as long as you did in space on a mission, you also embarked on the first allfemale spacewalk which made headlines because for us on earth it was mind blowing when we found out there couldnt be an allwoman spacewalk before because the spacesuits werent designed for different body types which is strange to discover. You think n. A. S. A. Has everything, and that seemed like a giant oversight. Did it feel like history when you were doing this, or was it just a mission and it sunk in when you got home . I would say it sunk in after the spacewalk. Jessica and i were honored to be able to do that. Its a really demanding thing mentally and physically. Youre in the space suit for 12 hours straight, dork hard work in the space suit for seven hours straight, so there wasnt any time for being, i guess, concerned with some of the other aspects of what we were doing. I think we recognized it. We took that moment to take it in. Ill never forget when we both came out of the air lock we caught each others eyes and knew what we were doing and it was a special moment but then we got down to work. So afterwards, realizing the outpouring of support and people were paying attention, it was inspiring people, thats where we were able to take a step back and realize what a huge honor it was to honor those who paved the way for us and hopefully inspire the next generation. Trevor ive always wanted to know this from an astronaut but i dont get to talk to many you have because theres only, like, ten of you, is earth more beautiful during the day or at night when youre looking at it from space . Is. Hard to pick just one. I would say the earth itself is more beautiful when youre on the day lit side, but the universe and the cosmos and everything you can see outside the earth including the auroras above the atmosphere is probably more dazzling during the night passes. Trevor so where to next . Youve now gone out into space for this long, when you look at n. A. S. A. And programs, when you look at what the astronauts are look to, what is your vision personally and what are you looking to next as part of the great space collective . What do you hope to achieve . My favorite part about being on board on the space station is contributing and giving back. Im going it through debriefs. Staying with n. A. S. A. , contributing to human space flight is what im interested in doing. N. A. S. A. Is working on the artemis program, getting people back on the moon and having sustained presence there, and taking that and capitalizing on it investing further and going deep into space, probably mars in the not too different future, were looking at landing on the moon by 2024. Commercial launches, launching from the u. S. Getting astronauts to and from the space station. Taking sciences and applying it to earth and the future missions, its an exciting time to be a part of it. Trevor you just made it sound like its going to be the most exciting time when in fact were already living in the most exciting time so you made me more excited for the things that are happening and going to happen. Thank you so much for joining us today. Enjoy social distancing with us and thank you for giving us at perspective. Absolutely. Thank you. Been great to be with you. Trevor thats our show for today. Before we go, though, if you are able to help people going hungry in this country because of the pandemic, please consider donating to feeding america. They are supplying food to millions of people in america. Youve probably seen the pictures of the cars lining up online. Theyre feeding these people every day and they could really use your help. Even a dollar can help somebody get a meal. Anyway, stay safe out there, wash your hands and remember, the only thing you really need to stock up on is love. And canned tuna. And probably toilet paper. And, like, water and things and anyway, ill see you tomorrow. Here it is, your moment of zen. Unfortunately, i would say were still pretty early in this, its the first couple of rounds phone ringing sorry about that. Were all learning these different video devices. The biggest ringing god. Im so sorry. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, this is probably the worst interview ive had, i apologize, because i forgot the apologize, because i forgot the question. Captioning made possible by comedy central
