COM The Daily Show With Trevor Noah July 13, 2024

Dont get me wrong, i mean, people are still going to die of boredom it is baseball, after all but, thankfully, theyre safe from corona. I have one question why are the fake people Wearing Masks . It just seems unnecessary. America has already shown that if youre a person made out of cardboard, you dont need to wear a mask. Also, i hope they told the announcer that those fans are made out of paper. Otherwise, that guy is going to freak out. Oh, my god that ball just went through a guys chest. Oh, my god, why isnt anybody helping him and that was really creative how they put that kid in a giant bubble baseball. Maybe they should do that with other sports, like in the n. F. L. Put every player in a bubble, then when they get tackled, the ball bounces into the stands, and the fans get to punch the bubble back onto the field. Tell me that doesnt sound like a fun sport. And you solved the concussion problem. Roger goodell, call me. In other news, one of the most inspiring things during these times has been seeing people step up to help out strangers. And some of those strangers are actually turning out to be old friends. Reporter the irish are returning an old favor in helping native americans who have hit been hard by the pandemic. More than 170 years ago, the chocktaw nation sent 170 to help with ireland during the potato famine. Now the fundraiser for navajo and hopi families have raised over 2 million with many contributions from the irish. Trevor this is so beautiful. More than 170 years ago, the American Indians helped the irish during the potato famine, and now the irish are helping the American Indians during coronavirus. Most of my irish friends cant even remember what happened last night. irish i spent faftin days in a british prison, for sometin i dinna remember and this is really nice, but if i were native american, id be a little suspicious of any european trying to give me anything. Id be like, thanks for the money. Why dont you go ahead and lick it first. All right, any smallpox . Okay, we good. And finally, some news from portland, oregon, the place you would visit if only your oxen would stop dying. Every year, the city celebrates world Naked Bike Ride day with 10,000 people taking over the streets. Naked, on bicycles. And even though large gatherings arent possible during the pandemic, portland has announced that instead of cancelling the event, theyre encouraging everyone to simply go out and ride naked on their own, keeping appropriate distance from other riders and pedestrians. And i guess this is the one time that people might not care if someones riding around naked. What are you doing, man . cover your face, you creep put a mask on if there are 10,000 naked bikers, thats an event. But one naked guy on a 10 speed, you just nasty. All right, thats it for the ray of sunshine, lets get into todays headlines. Lets kick it off with one of the growing effects of the coronavirus epidemic meat shortages. As you probably know, many meatprocessing plants around america have been forced to shut down after their facilities turned into covid19 hotspots. And if they cant process the meat, well, then, you cant eat the meat. Reporter grocery giants are putting a cap on how much meat customers can buy as the Pandemic Forces more processing plants to shut down. And at hundreds of wendys restaurants, managers are asking that famous question from a wendys ad campaign wheres the beef . Reporter try ordering your favorite wendys burger this week, and you may be disappointed. Some of our menu items may be temporarily limited, the company acknowledged today. At one drivethrough window, you could get an apology but no triple cheeseburger. Trevor yeah, americas beef shortage has gotten so bad, that fast food places are even running out of burgers. And i feel bad for wendys. Not only are they running out of meat, but wendy even had to trim her own bangs in quarantine. Weve all been there, girl. Now, obviously, this is bad for meat lovers, but its also bad for vegans. Yeah, because if everyone is forced to become a vegan, then the original vegans will have no one to look down on. Im actually a vegan. Yeah, yeah buddy. Were all vegans now. But if you love meat, dont be stressed. As long as theres sawdust and pigs butts, youll always have hot dogs. Hot dogs. Never think too hard about them. Moving on. Remember all those stories about healthcare workers and how theyre struggling to get enough protective equipment . Well, now we might now who to blame Jared Kushner, president ial advisor, and man in a love triangle with his fatherinlaw. Reporter a whistleblower complaint sent to congress anonymously claims that fema relied on inexperienced volunteers to find protective equipment as the virus spread, arguing vendors were selected based on personal relationships, not expertise. That effort was led by Donald Trumps soninlaw and senior advisor, Jared Kushner. Reporter according to the washington post, Jared Kushner relied on two dozen volunteers from consulting and private equity firms who had little expertise in the tasks they were assigned. The New York Times reports many of the volunteers were told to prioritize tips from political allies and associates of President Trump tracked on a spreadsheet called v. I. P. Update. Trevor yes, it seems Jared Kushner fumbled the p. P. E. Response by bringing in people whose priority was pleasing trump v. I. P. S, including a buddy from maralago, a former apprentice contestant, and fox news host jeanine pirro. And, sadly, this isnt a surprise. Because since trump became president , the white house has started operating like a nightclub you need connections or money to get in, everyones talking way too loud, and theres a lady spending the whole time trying to avoid some annoying guy. If youre going to get help from a tv personality to search for coronavirus equipment, it shouldt be someone from fox. It should be maury. Yeah, because at least hes experienced with testing. Coronavirus. You are not the father. bleep . bleep . And, finally, some strange noncorona news coming out of venezuela. Reporter this morning, President Trump says the United States had nothing to do with an alleged coup on venezuela. This video that youre seeing shows two american mercenaries who were arrested there on monday. President Nicolas Maduro of venezuela claims that the men were sent to that country to assassinate him. Both are former u. S. Special forces soldiers with ties to a floridabased Security Company named silvercorp. Silvercorps c. E. O. Admitted that he was leading a mission to infiltrate venezuela and capture president maduro. What weve learned publicly thus far about this operation is it appears to be somewhat of a clown show, and not of the caliber one would expect if it were a operation that had been arranged by our intelligence community. Trevor another i know this sounds like the sequel to tiger king, but its actually true. Heres what happened as far as we know. Two american mercenaries, who had previously worked as security guards at donald trump rallies, put together a team of people who they thought was going to be enough to take down the entire venezuelan government. And one reason the operation didnt work out, is the Security Company tweeted about the operation while it was under way. And i dont know whats more embarrassing, the fact that they live tweeted their coup, or the coup attempt only got, like, six likes. Ouch if social media existed in the past it probably wouldve stopped a lot of bad things from happened. Lincoln would be like, honey, this guy John Wilkes Booth keeps tweeting me with a gun emoji, skull emoji, and a guy in a top hat emoji. I think we should just stay home and watch netflix tonight. mrs. Lincoln come now, abe raham. One night at the theater isnt gonna kill you. All right, thats it for the headlines. After the break, were going to see how President Trump handled his field trip to the mask only wendys 2 for 5 has all the chicken you crave. You can choose from the spicy or homestyle chicken sandwich. Crispy or spicy 10piece nuggets. But lets be real, youre gonna get those 20 spicy nuggs for 5 bucks. Only at wendys. Treat yourself to a heath bar. Because nothing says special like rich english toffee. Heath, its english toffee announcer the most admirables had fois calledfagape. E. Love as an action. whirring announcer for 175 years, new york life has been helping people act on their love. So they can look back, or look ahead, and say, we got it right. We did good. Daily social distancing show. Our big story today is about donald j. Trump, president of the United States and the ghost of a slim jim. So lets catch up on his latest coronavirus adventures in our continuing coverage of the pandumbic. The lockdowns have been hard on many people, but its been especially hard on donald trump, because this is a guy who used to spend every day playing golf, or holding rallies, or flying to different cities, like an ignorant dora the explorer. But thanks to covid19, hes spent the last few weeks stuck at the white house with nothing to do except argue with the ghost of George Washington and build forts with all the Intelligence Briefings hes supposed to be reading. So trump has been itching to get out of the house. And yesterday, he finally made it happen with a trip to arizona, where he toured a factory making n95 masks for part of the federal governments response to the pandemic. And for a trip meant to highlight coronavirus safety, things got off to an awkward start. Reporter this was the president s first trip during the coronavirus pandemic, and we quickly learned, there are a lot of new rules for the road. Governor doug ducey welcoming President Trump on the sky harbor tarmac. Trump going in for the handshake and a head fake, then settled for a back slap. Senator Martha Mcsally went for the air elbow bump then a mock hug from congresswoman debbie lesko. Trevor beat lord in heaven, that was a disaster. That looked like every time a white person goes in for a handshake with a black person. Are we going to do are we going to explode . You take the lead, my brother. It almost looked like trump was messing with the governor of arizona. Handshake . Psyche, you idiot dont you know theres a pandemic . I cant wait to tell fauci about this one. Also, what is the point of avoiding a handshake if you then wipe your hands all over the other guys suit . I mean, at that point, youre just using him as a corona napkin. And you know trump is going to lie about this if hes asked. The handshake went off exactly as planned. It was a perfect handshake. Read the transcript. After that master class on greetings, trump and his entourage moved on to the honeywell factory, where they were given a grand tour of the machinery that helps to make the masks being shipped around the country. And you may haveinoid, even after mike pences faux pas at the mayo clinic, trump decided not to wear a mask while Walking Around the mask factory. And, look, i know hes worried about how he looks, but that makes no sense. I mean, the mask would literally be the leastdistracting thing on trumps head. Everything else needs, like, nine hours of explanation. Now, the white houses defense is the president doesnt need to wear a mask because everyone who comes into contact with him is given a rapid coronavirus test. And if thats the case, maybe trump should be hosting rallies right now. Yeah, because think about it then everyone who touches him will finally get access to a test. And, boom americas testing problem is solved do we even need fauci . I feel like im doing all the work. Clearly, trump was feeling invincible yesterday, because not only did he war dog the air. He also did something he is usually too afraid to do an interview with someone who doesnt work at fox news. And immediately, they asked him about why his administration had such a slow response. Dont forget, the cupboard was bare. The other administration, the last administration, left us nothing. We didnt have ventilators. We didnt have medical equipment. We didnt have testing. You know, youre three years into your first term what, did do you when you became president to restock those cupboards that you say were bare . Ill be honest, i had had a lot of things going on. We had a lot of people that refused to allow the country to be successful. They wasted a lot of time on russia, russia, russia. That turned out to be a total hoax. Then they did ucrane, ukraine. And that was a total hoax. Then they impeached the president of the United States for absolutely no reason. Trevor yeah, according to trump, he spent three years not preparing for a pandemic because he was distracted by all the scandals he created. Even if trump did have a lot going on, you gotta admit, than, thats a shitty excuse. Youre the president. Thats kind of the nature of the job. Whoa, whoa, whoa i just wanted to run the country. I didnt know id have to multitask. And how is trump going to blame obama for not having tests for a disease that didnt even happen yet . It feels like any time trump needs an excuse, his goto is obama. Hes probably been doing this since he was a kid. Donald, why havent you cleaned your room . Mom, it wasnt me. It was obama. Who the hell is obama . More concerning than true. s refusal to wear a mask or weak excuse of excuses about not preparing for a pandemic, its the news that even with cases and deaths to increase, trump decided to disband the task force charged with fighting the pandemic. Tonight, as President Trump looks to move past the coronavirus pandemic, hes acknowledging that the White House Task force is winding down. The Vice President , mike pence, says the group may disband around memorial day at the end of this month. You can just explain why is now the time to wind down that task force . Well, because we cant keep our country closed for the next five years. Im not saying anything is perfect. , and yes, will some people be affected . Yes. Will some people be affected badly . Yes. But we have to get our country open and we have to get it open soon. Trevor thats right, for trump, the priority right now isnt to try to stop the pandemic. Its to open up the country no matter what. I mean, how can you get rid of the task force fighting the pandemic while the pandemic is still growing . That makes no sense. Can you imagine if they stopped after fast and furious 6 . How would we know how much more furious they get . There is so much backlash for disbanding this task force, this morning, trump announced he would not be disbanding the task force. He said he would allow the task force to continue, just with different people doing different things, which makes as much sense as telling your husband youre not dworgs him. Youre just continuing your marriage with a different person who you dont hate. Whats clear is between his refusal to wear masks, his weak excuses for not preparing for the pandemic, and his attempt to kill the task force, trumps field trip yesterday didnt get great reviews. And by the way, those were just the parts of the trip that people actually saw. Do you remember that footage of trump getting a tour of the factory . Well, we got the audio of what was happening. We wiretap all his ties. And it turns out, yesterday could have gone even worse. Mr. President , do you want to start machine that makes face masks . All you have to do is push the green button, just the green button right there. Yeah, the green one, thats it. Its the only one. siren whoa, whoa, whoa. That wasnt green. It was the red button. Thats okay. A lot of people mix up green and red. That was the meltdown button. Thats okay you did the best you could. Why dont you stand over there, mr. President. Everything will be okay. Were all going to be okay. Shit, shit, shit. Hey, bill, can you disarm a countdown . Weve got, like, nine seconds, bill. Eight. Seven. Trevor thats our president all right, ive got to go pee, but when we come back, roy wood jr. Is on the show, and he finds the creator of the website weve all been looking at. All been looking at.

Hi, im joanna. And our favorite bar is crunch. Crunchy. 100 real chocolate. Embracing the crispiness of rice. Crunch. The chocolate bar all americans love. The daily social distance show. You know, for all the global attention corona has captured, its been surprisingly hard to find trustworthy sources of information about it. But one website, created here in america, has really stood out for its reliability in tracking the virus. And roy wood jr. Went to find out why. If youve been following the news during this global pandemic, then youd know that the reported statistics have been as inconsistent the wifi at your mamas house, the wifi you told her to speed up a long time ago. And quarantined with your momma during a pandemic. If we didnt do it, you would have had a Million People, a million and a half people, maybe two Million People dead. But were going toward 50,000 5r 60,000 people. 100,000 to 200,000 deaths. It looks more like the 60,000 than the 100,000 and 200,000. We have between 100 and 200,000. Its like an auction. Theres one credible source whose numbers are trusted globally. One website tracking the coronavirus has become one of the most vital resphowrsz people seeking accurate and updated numbers on the pandemic. Ncov2019. Live. And i scored a sitdown with its creator. Who the bleep are you. Im looking for avi schiffman. I
