Distance show. Announcer from trevors couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show, with trevor noah. Trevor you know, during dark times like these im often reminded of the words of the great 20th century philosopher robert mcferrin, when he wrote, dont worry. Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooooh be happy now. Thats what were going to do now in our ongoing segment, a ray of sunshine. Our first bit of good comes out of canada the only country where syrup has legal rights. And where one family found love in a hopeless place. Reporter carrie lynn ellis was not going to let coronavirus restrictions stop her from giving a big hug on mothers day. She and her husband created what they call the hug glove in their backyard of ontario, canada. It is a plastic sheet with sleeves in it to allow hugs while preventing direct contact. Ellis said she and her mother, they were in tears. Its hard to say if they were tears of joy, tears of laughter, or maybe a little bit of both. Trevor okay, im sorry, i dont want to cry, but this is the sweetest story of a grandma in a fullbody condom that ive ever heard. Seriously, though, this is a heartwarming invention. Its wonderful for that family, and for that shower curtain. Think about it, because, normally shower curtains see us apt our worst were naked, cleaning our butts, singing bad. But this one got outside to see that humans are not so bad. You know it wont take long for people to start using it for the wrong reason. Grandma got hugged but two guys from the bar will be saying whatd you just say to me . Awww hell, no. Get inside the plastic. Get inside the plastic, dawg. Lets handle this like men. Moving on. Theres no denying that one of the biggest things we miss the most right now is traveling you know, seeing new places, visiting your family, fleeing to a country without extradition. Well, now theres a new company that gives you a little taste of travel, right at home. Reporter just because youre stuck at home doesnt mean you cant get some airline food. The aptly named company, imperfect foods, is selling the snacks previously given to Airline Passengers and airline customers. The company is dedicated to eliminating food waste so for just 3 a package, you can enjoy the jetblue crackers and cheese. Trevor yes, if youve been craving pulverized crackers and cheese that tastes like a pencil eraser, well, this is your lucky day. And, you know, i hope they dont stop at airline food, because in my dream world, for an extra fee, theyd send over someone with strong body odor to sit next to me on my couch and fight me for the armrest. I feel like im on vacation already for real, though, guys, who in their right mind, who in their right mind, wowlz think airplane food is the thing that people miss most about air traveler. This would be like if coachella tried to recreate the festival experience by sending you dust and a porta potty. Its like im there. And, finally, do you sometimes wish that you could say, screw safety. Im just gonna grab all my friends and run wild through the streets . Well, it turns out, youre not the only one. Invasion of the goats. That was the scene in one neighborhood after a herd of goats got loose. The goats managed to knock over an electric fence and took a leisurely stroll through the streets. Neighbors had to open up a side gate and lead the goats back where they were supposed to be. Nobody was hurt, but there was some minor damage. Hey hey go go go trevor holy shit did you see that . Not one of those goats is wearing a mask fauci is not gonna be happy i will say, though, those goats are tempting fate running through the streets like that when theres a meat shortage in the country. They could run wild in the suburbs but if they try that in the bronx my jamaican peeps will turn them into a curry like that a whaddis . Look ere a firsttime goat deliver demselves dis who hordered goatmates . . But its clear whats happened here. Humans have stayed inside too long, and animals have forgotten whos boss. You know what that means. When lockdown ends, were just going to have to fight them to take back our streets. As soon as quarantine ends, first goat i see, im going to be like, ay, yo goat get into the plastic. Lets handle this like men. All right, thats our ray of sunshine. Lets catch up on todays headlines. First up in headlines, do you remember that story about the senator in North Carolina who dumped his stocks after getting a government briefing that coronavirus was gonna wreck america . Well, now the fbi is getting involved. Reporter the f. B. I. Serving senator richard burr with a search warrant at his washington, d. C. , area home and seizing his cell phone. Federal agents are investigating potential Insider Trading after the republican senator sold stocks that were later hit hard because of the coronavirus pandemic. As the chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, burr received daily coronavirus briefings before the markets plummeted. He sold a significant percentage of his stock portfolio during that time, up to 1. 6 million. Burrs brotherinlaw also sold stocks on the same day. Burr denied discussing the sale with him. Trevor thats right, like a suspicious spouse, the f. B. I. Has decided they want to look through this senators phone. Im not going to lie. It would be so scary for the f. B. I. To take your phone. Even if you didnt do anything illegal, just them going through your Search History is going to be so embarrassing. Oh, my god this guy googled is megan the stallion a horse . this guy is too dumb to have committed the crime. And to me, maybe the worst part about this scandal is that senator burr was telling everyone, telling everyone in america, that things were going to be okay while he and his family were quietly saving their own asses. It would be like if noah built the ark but didnt tell anyone why he was doing it. noah this thing . Its just a fun side project im creating. I will probably sell it on etsy or something. Is something bad about to happen . noah no, no, definitely not. By the way, do you have two. Albino tigers . In other news, all over the world, people are starting to push back against government lockdown orders, because for many people, not working and not having kids in school far outweighs the risk of coronavirus. Well, yesterday in wisconsin, the state Supreme Court gave the antilockdown movement a major win. Reporter and we begin with breaking news overnight. A major decision on stayathome orders. This could reverberate nationwide. Now, the wisconsin Supreme Court overturning the states mandate to stay home as unenforceable under state law. This is a victory for people across the country opposing directives aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus. It didnt take long for bars to reopen in wisconsin after the ruling, no masks in sight. Trevor yes, wisconsins Supreme Court struck down the governors lockdown. And the very first thing people did was celebrate by packing into tiny bars with no masks on. And they werent the only ones celebrating. In fact, i think weve got footage from coronavirus headquarters when these people all went out to the bars. Now, look, i do sympathize with people in wisconsin. I mean, even in normal times, they only get to be outside, like, two months a year. I mean, their weather is a natural lockdown. But heres the thing that gets me. I understand people who feel like getting kids in school and getting people back to work and reopening doctors offices is worth the risk of coronavirus. Right, i get it. I understand where youre coming from. But if the first thing you do when youre not locked down is pack yourself into bars and spray into each others faces, something tells me you give zero bleep . At least be honest and say this was less about balancing the risks and benefits and more about being able to do whatever you want. Right now what the people in wisconsin have done is basically someone saying youre dying of thirst, then, when they bring you water, you throw a wet tshirt contest. Will sports return but to empty stadiums . Will summer camps take place online . Will hugging be replaced by gently poking one another with a long pole. Here in new york, theres an idea for how we can ride the subway without crowds. People taking the subway or a bus to work may soon have to take reservations. Reporter subway systems in new york city are considering bus and subwayride reservations as a way to enforce social distancing. The m. T. A. Chairman and c. E. O. Suggested that riders in the future could be asked to reserve a space ahead of time in order to reduce density in otherwise very crowded trains. Trevor okay, wait, wait, hold on. Hold on. Making reservations for the new york subway . Who thought of this . Two weeks ago, they started cleaning their cars for the first time ever, and now they think theyre a michelinstar restaurant. Youre not tricking anyone, new york subway. Youre not a fancy bistro. Youre a moving ratfight club that people take to work also, the subway is never on time. So, i mean, you can make a reservation for 7 00, but best believe the train is coming at 9 30. And then, good luck explaining to the 9 30 people that this isnt their train. That the 9 30 trains coming at 11 00. But i am looking forward to calling them to make my reservation. Thats going to be a fun conversation. Hi, m. T. A. I would like to make a reservation for the subway, please, 7 00 p. M. . I was hoping to be nonetheless nonmasturbation section . Oh, the entire train is a masturbation section . I see. Well, in that case, i can sit to whoever finishes fastest. Thank you, goodbye. All right, thats it for the headlines. After the break, well fill you in on the explosive, damning scandal that President Trump might have completely made up, might have completely made up, but maybe not. [son] mom yeah. [son] i fell. Okay theres bandages in the cabinet. [son] im bleeding. Grab two. Sheba. What cats want. Been there, done that. Twice your cousin. From boston. Karen, im 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. Names sam. Dig in. Love is like boston lager. Rich, complex and its over too soon. Right, chrissy . Oh my god. Their delicious new cookie with hersheys milk chocolate. So just imagine allll this. But with chunks of allll that. Can we get a visual . New chips ahoy cookies made with hersheys milk chocolate. The daily social distance show. For months now, everyone has been asking, when will thing get back to normal . When can we stop worrying about coronavirus and return to our regular lives . You know, like, staying home watching netflix for 12 hours because we want to, not because we have to. Well, President Trump hasnt been great at doing the things people need to do to make that happen expanding tests, containing infections, reading beyond a fifthgrade level. But there is part of getting back to normal that trump is an thats conspiracy theories. Do you remember when every news cycle was about some farout Conspiracy Theory that trump had dreamed up about all his enemies . You missed that, right . It was exciting. It was fun. And other than democracy itself, no one got hurt. Well, good news, those happy days are here again with a brandnew conspiracy that trump and fox news are calling obamagate. And, again, buckle up. Wow, huge massive developments in the biggest abuseofpower Corruption Scandal in american history. My god, this is extraordinary. We will continue to peel back the onion on this incredible story yes, the biggest political scandal of our time. It looks like the obamagate scandal is about to get a lot bigger. The release this week of longhidden transcripts fully exposed the lefts attempt at a coup detat, albeit bloodless, but a coup nonetheless. What did Barack Hussein obama know, and when did he know it . Trevor oh, snap, Barack Hussein obama. Thats how you know youre in trouble, when fox is calling you by your full government name Barack Hussein jihad Nairobi Kenya obama, get your butt down here right now now, as you can tell, fox news hasnt been this excited since the last time Colin Kaepernick bent down to tie his shoe. But heres the basic idea of what this is about theyre claiming that when obama was president , he illegally used the power of the Justice Department to spy on his political enemy, donald trump. And if youre thinking, wait, didnt we already do this a year ago and they called it name spygate . Yeah, we did. If we can have five spidermans and 30 batmans, then why cant trump bring back his favorite conspiracies, too . But, basically, right after the election, the Intelligence Community discovered that Michael Flynn trumps 2016 National Security advisor and guy most likely to punch a Little League umpire was having secret conversations with foreign powers. And now you might be wondering why those shady conversations happened in the first place. Thats not important. Keep up. The important part is that they investigated it, and thats what has everyone so excited right now. Because there are new documents that shed light on what happened during that investigation. Declassified documents identifying more than a dozen Obama Administration officials involved in the unmasking of Michael Flynn reporter unmasking is when a senior Government Official requests to know the identity of a u. S. Citizen in an intelligence report. Its something that happens thousands of times a year. Reporter these documents dont show any political motivations. It doesnt show us that anybody who shouldnt have had access to this information is getting access to it. Trevor oh did you catch that . Basically, what the Obama Administration did was a standard government procedure that happens thousands of times a year. This is the equivalent of freaking out whenever a tv show goes to commercial. Noooo where did alex trebek go . What did you do to them, progressive insurance lady . What did you do . But that isnt stopping donald trump from proposing his favorite solution to any problem lock. Them. Up. We have breaking news today. The names of the people who unmasked general flynn have been publicized joe biden, john brennan, jim comey. Your reaction . This was all obama. This was all biden. These people were corrupt. It was the greatest political crime in the history of our country. If i were a democrat instead of a republican, i think everybody would have been in jail a long time ago. And im talking with 50year sentences. It is a disgrace whose happened. This is the greatest political scam, hoax, in the history of our country. People should be going to jail for this stuff and, hopefully, a lot of people are going to have to pay. Trevor yes, obama and biden have to pay or, at the very least, they should pull a trump and pretend theyre going to pay, and then never come up with the money. Andun, you gotta admit trump loves sending people to jail. I bet even the jail i monopoly was trumps idea. game designer mr. Trump, youre a property guy. Wed love your input for our new board game. trump jail. You gotta add a jail. game designer umm, sir, this is just a game for children about buying and selling property. trump trust me, jail where else will the winners send all the losers . game designer to be fair theyre saying that flynn didnt do anything wrong but claim comey and the f. B. I. Wanted to use him to get to trump. The full conspiracy is actually pretty complicated. Its too much for my little brain, but luckily for us, our own desi lydic watched fox news nonstop so she could help break this whole obamagate scandal down for us. Obamagate, its the big news scandal on the right. But what actually is the scandal . Ive been Binge Watching fox news for 48 hours straight, and im ready to foxsplain obamagate.

Stop making me laugh. Vo geico. Saving people money for over seventyfive years. Gecko dont look at me. Dont look at me. Earlier today, i spoke with the president of the Oklahoma Farmers Union, scott blubaugh. And we talked about the farming industry and how corona is affecting americas food supply. Scott blubaugh, welcome to the the daily social distance show. Hey, glad to be here. Its my pleasure. Trevor im so fascinated about this topic, and im so glad to be on the show because as obama and someone who is working with farmers, you can also. Lets start with the more basic one. Were hearing about Food Shortages across the country, especially meat shortages. But at the same time, were hearing that farmers have cows, farm version pigs, farm version the animals, what exactly is going on . Well, ill tell you, its kind of a complex story. So in the early days of the coronavirus, we saw a distribution problem. And that was purely the distribution centers, such as walmart and the big retail chains, just couldnt get enough of the product to the stores in time. They couldnt get it on the shelves in time. The second phase of that, we saw our schools, you know, being shut down, restaurants, and all the institutional buyers of our food products, theyre all shut down. The supply chain was really disrupted in that aspect, and the processers really havent adapted to the new way of doing business. Most of our productionue know, were buying our groceries in the grocery store, instead of eating out, and eating at school or eating at work or whatever. Now the virus itself has got into these processing facilities. The workers are getting sick. And so in the especially in the meat industry. So then the Meat Processing centers that we have around the country and im talking about the very large Corporate Centers those workers worked ive been in those facilities. And they work elbow to elbow, literally, all day long, thousands of workers in these facilities. And so, when the virus gets in there, it spreads like crazy. And so, theyve had to idle a lot of those plants. They have been shut down. Some are working at 50 capacity. So youre having a lot of different problems there. We have plenty of cattle. We have plenty of pigs. Plenty of chicken. Plenty of wheat, soybeans, and corn that we make. All these commodities are used to make the food that we buy at the grocery store. Now, we have plenty of those out here on the farm. Thats not the problem. The problem is getting them processed into food that you can buy in the grocery store. Trevor yeah, thats really interesting. And id like to us try to break this down. I was i was truly surprised by how complex, you know, the Food Distribution network has become because gone are the days when it was just the farmer makes the food, the people get the food from the farmer. I mean, you can go to a farmers market, but for the most part, that has become much more complicated. And so the first part, as you said, was that, you know, we forget that a lot of the food that is made doesnt go to a grocery store. Schools buy it. Hotels buy it. Businesses buy it. And its not packagedly the same. The second thing which is really interesting for me is how centralized a lot of Food Processing seems to be in america. Because, you know, you had a few Meat Processing plants shut down, and then all of a sudden, it seemed like there was a meat shortage all over the country. What is what does that say about americas distribution in terms of the way food is processed or food is doled out across the country . Is that a sustainable system . No, its not. So for the last 40 years, we have seen a consolidation in the Food Processing industry, and mergers, acquisitions have just gone on like crazy, really for 40 years. And were at the point now where theres only four major packers in the united states. Three of those are foreign owned, by the way. And so, theres actually only one u. S. Company still left. Anyway, because of this consolidation in the marketplace, they dwemed a system that develop aid system what i call just in time delivery system, similar to manufacturers, used to just in time get their ingredients that they need or the different components they need in manufacturing. The food system is basically set up the same way now. So everything is just in time. So when one any one segment of the food system is broke down, and in this case its the workers in these processing plants that are getting sick, then the whole system just fails. Many of us have expressed our concerns about this for a long time. And until the coronavirus hit, its now showing the world how fragile this system is and that its really not sustainable. Trevor right. I think its also been really disheartening to see how hard this has hit the farming community, you know, because you read these stories, and you see these stories of farmers who say, hey, im now in a situation where my farm is Still Producing as it should be, but i i have nowhere to put this food. I have nowhere to send this food. And then we have millions and millions of americans saying, were desperate for food but we cant get the food. And you realize why the system is almost broken because theres theres very few places that connect the people to their food. For farmers, what is going on with the farmers that you speak to . Mentally, how are they doing . May happens to be Mental Health awareness month, and i know theres been a rise of farmers committing suicide, and almost coronavirus being the last straw. What have you experienced . We experienced that here as well. We a few weeks ago set up a hot line number, a suicide hot line number here in oklahoma, fur our farmers and ranchers, and we have three trained farmers and ranchers that will go out and visit with them and get them to the help they need. And, also, we are seeing calls come in now that we havent seen in a long, long time. Probably since the 1980s. This is now becoming a much bigger problem for us. Trevor it feels like americas entire food supply is being interrupted. And i think a lot of people may not know may not understand how, you know, farmers essentially this business has become more about commodities than about exwood food. The prices are dic price are dil forces. Its become a game between different nations and such. But at the end of the day, theres still a core concept, and that is humans need food to survive, and farmers are the people who are growing that food for the humans to eat in order to survive. We hope that the world will evolve, and we hope there will be lessons we learn from coronavirus that we take forward and hopefully improve the way we exist. If you were looking at the world through the lens of the farmers and thinking of people who need food that saz healthy as possible, what would you suggest we change in the world Going Forward . We need to really start enforcing antitrust laws here in the united states. Back around the turn of the century, president Theodore Roosevelt did his famous trust busting. The first corporations he busted up was the meat packing industry over 100 years ago. And now weve evolved really back to that same position where they have total market power, total control over the food supply. And we really need to go back, bust up these large meat processors into smaller units, and well have more competition than in the marketplace for the animals that we raise on our farm. The consumer will have more choices. But if we had more regional and small processors back again, like we once had here, we wouldnt be near as vulnerable to these type of black swan events, you might say. So thats the avenue we need to go down. I know that President Trump has asked the Justice Department to investigate this antitrust issues that are going on in the meat packing industry. But i doment your viewers to know something. Im a cattle rancher. Trevor right, right. And i raise wheat and soybeans as well on my place. But since the virus hit, we werent getting a very good price for our products before the virus. But since the virus, the prices have went down dramatically. Weve seep our live cattle prices decline about 38 over this period in the with the virus. But at the very same time, weve seen retail beef prices that the consumer pays at the store just absolutely go through the roof. Trevor right. At the sam at the very same. And its about time the government steps in and starts enforcing the antitrust laws of this country and put some regulations back in place and limit this really bad behavior. Trevor well, i will say, i mean, as somebody who has been reading up on it and, you know, always trying to think of how we get back to a world where people are eating healthier food so we can be healthier human beings, i hope that some of your measuress are looked at by people in power. Thank you so much for attacking the time, scott, and good luck as you ride out this crisis. Thank you very much, scott, have a good one. Thanks, trevor. You bet. Trevor thanks so much again for that, scott. When we come back, yara shahidi joins us to talk about celebrating the class of 2020 with president obama. Stick around. Whats up, tom . Heyyyy whats this . Ah, got him. Classic. Your cousin. From boston. It says bad boy in gaelic. I think. Get outta here, debbie high five. I brought sam. Boston lager. Were all friends now. We have rolled out teams across. Our network, and we went from essentially no televisits to approaching 5,000 visits a day. These visits are surprisingly intimate. I can actually share my screen and show the xrays. We really moved some mountains in our network, and teams has been a huge part of that. This is going to be a game changer for medicine. Today. Tomorrow. The day after that. And the day after that. Day. After. Day. Packaging designed to make storage easier. Duracell optimum. Daily social distancing show. Earlier today, i got the chance to talk to producer and grownish star yara shahidi. On may 16, shell be participating in the graduate together special with lebron james and president barack obama. We talked about that and so much more. Check it out. Yara shahidi, welcome to the the daily social distance show. Thank you. Trevor you may be the first person ive actually spoken to who has actually experienced doing school virtu virtually. What has that been like . A lot of people say its horrible. Im pretty grateful because i was able to come home to a place where i have my wifi connection. I have a family thats feeding me and such, and so its pretty good. And i have done Distance Learning in the past in high school while work full time so i got used to that scheduled so i think i had lesof a transition than most because i was used to the format. But it is pretty rigorous, and i have so many friend in school right now, and its been a rough transition, to say the least, because many schools dont know how to transition and fully support the students with the work theyre already doing. Trevor youre one of those people who genuinely actually loves school and going to school and learning at school and, like, this is a real thing like, you are that person in life. Youre like a proud nerd, and you always say this. I know. Trevor so what advice would you give other learners who are struggling right now who say, i dont know if i want to go back to school if its going to be Distance Learning. I dont know if i want to learn over my laptop or ipad. What advice would you given them . I think Distance Learning has given me the ability how my education will align with my life at large. Doing Distance Learning, i used it as an opportunity to figure out what are my other passions, what are my other interests . And how do i incorporate that into my life. No longer being in a brick and mortar school, figuring out, if i work 15 hours a day, this is what my education looks like and how i shift it to what i want. I think its about finding ways you can personalize your education and use that opportunity to say, like, im making this experience unabarbedly mine. Trevor you have always been somebody who has been politically motivated. You know, you come from a family of activists. You have always been somebody who strives to find a purpose beyond yourself. What is the thing yara shahidi is looking at in thats new corona world . At first my purpose has been how can i make this moment greater than myself. I have had a crazy amazing childhood of access to the resources that made me feel leak i belong in this world, whether its the stories being told to me or the opportunities given to me. And i was like, how i do share that . I think under this new world, i think its about really really ive been so bigpicture. Its been about kind of going reverse, like, whats the smallest picture, what is the smallest action that is tangible and it can help somebody. I think right now looking at the situation with student, whats the smallest action that can be done right now to make the lives of students easier. Its been a mix of what resources can be provided . And in terms of the media were making what, stories need to be told i think to reflect the times that were in. Trevor you have this class of young people who are graduating, and some of them dont have the motivation that normally would come with a graduation. But i know youre teaming up with a few few interesting people. I mean, some people might know them. And youre teaming up with them to try to, i guess, motivate the graduating class of 2020. Tell us about that. So graduate together is a program that will be held oned is, and its really just a part of how do we help celebrate this class . I think exactly to your point, its really hard to figure out you have been on a 12year journey for the High Schoolers graduating and havent been able to have that kind of ceremony that reflects the hard work that goes into it. I think given the sociopolitical state we were in prior to this pandemic, school life and life had already been made more complicated and difficult trying to manage what was happening in the world. I think this seems to be yet another thing that overly complicates ones ability to be like, im pursuing my education. I get to dive headfirst into this. What were really hoping to do, as much as possible, reinstate that kind of ceremony and celebration. What i love is everyone a couple people im doing it with from lebron to mr. Obama and everybody else is really about how do we reinstate that kind of celebratory magic, ands, also, shine a lot on all the work thats gone into it. Its a cool ceremony thats mixinmixing in, highlighting amg things that students have accomplished this year to just being in conversation and trying to reinstate department what you get from an actual Graduation Ceremony. Trevor it feels like, in many ways, a lot of students are going to, you know, on the bad side not get the Graduation Ceremony that they expected but on the up side, get the Graduation Ceremony they definitely never expected and thats going to be yara shahidi teaming up with lebron james and former president barack obama. I mean, like, how does that even work . Do you have a text chain where youre bouncing ideas . Its been hilarious trying to get us all together and how to make a highqawment ceremony and were all in our houses. Its been cool. And i think to your point about hope, i feel like ive always had to remain hopeful, because, otherwise, why do any of the work . And you have to believe in some sense of future to feel like what im investing in right now is so much greater than myself that it doesnt matter how i feel about the world because im investing in how my brothers going to feel about the world and what they inherit. So i think graduate together along with Everything Else thats been happening, to really come and hug all the graduate that have gone through this experience has really been about, like, how do we just say a lot is happening right now. Were all trying to figure out how to change the world but lets take a moment to celebrate. Trevor thats beautiful. Life is worth celebrating.
