Transcripts For COM The Daily Show With Trevor Noah 20240713

Trevor right now, if you want good news, youve got to search pretty hard for it, kind of like one of those wheres waldo . Puzzles. By the way, why are we trying to find waldo . What did he do . Did he murder someone . If he did, shouldnt the cops be looking for him . Why are we searching for him . The point is, you dont need to search for good news, because we found it for you in our ongoing segment, a ray of sunshine. All across america, millions of people have been receiving stimulus checks from the government to help them through this tough time. Some people use the money for rent. Some people use it for groceries. Some people use it to rent groceries. I dont know, they say it saves money. But one woman decided to use her check to lift other peoples spirits. Reporter a new york woman collaborated with a new orleans Jazz Orchestra to put on a stimulus serenade for frontline hospital workers and Covid Patients in new orleans. Emily bowman used her stimulus money to pay for the outofwork musicians while offering a morale boost to healthcare workers. Shes hoping to inspire others to conduct similar concerts. Trevor amazing. She used her stimulus check to hire outofwork musicians and honor new orleans healthcare workers in one fell swoop. Thats a beautiful gesture. Although, it was a little inappropriate when they threw beads at the nurses. Also, i hope the surgeons couldnt hear the music, because those new orleans bands are so good. You cant resist dancing. All right, nurse, im making the incision next to the artery. I tried this in south africa and it doesnt work. Yeah, i hired a vuvuzela group. But all the patients left the hospital, saying theyd rather take their chances with corona. And i love that they honored their healthcare workers with live jazz, because whats more new orleans than live jazz . This would be like if philadelphians entertained their nurses with a fist fight outside a wawa. Its so authentic. Of course, that free concert is only one of many stories weve heard about ordinary people trying to honour healthcare workers. In fact, one big story that went viral last month was from the u. K. , where a 100yearold man raised 40 million doing a charity walk in his garden. And now the u. K. Is saying good on you, chap. A 100yearold veteran in Great Britain will receive a knighthood. Hell be knighted for helping frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic. Captain tom moore raised more than 40 million for Britains National Health Service by just Walking Around, walking laps around his garden, using a walker, like you see right here. And that effort captivated the nation. Trevor this is fantastic this 100yearold man is going to become a knight. Which is the highest british honor you can receive, outside of star baker. But it makes sense for him to be concerned with how the queen handles a sword, because we all saw how she stabbed Meghan Markel in the back. You dont know what shes cable of. I just cant wait for him to meet all of the other knights once the pandemic is over. Im sir tom moore, knighted for raising 40 million for the n. H. S. Im sir mixalot, and i was knighted for always telling the truth about how much i like big butts. But this goes to show you two things. One, when it comes to helping, your age doesnt matter. Anybody can help. And, two, people in every country around the world are really desperate for sports right now. People in england are like, its no olympics, but theres an old man Walking Around his house right now. It might be entertaining. Id pay 10 pounds right now to watch that and, finally, has this pandemic made you wish you could be living in another universe . Well first of all, congratulations on being basic. And, secondly, here you go. Reporter it may sound like an episode of the twilight zone, but nasa Scientists Say they have detected a parallel universe that exists next to our own. Using a cosmic ray detection experiment, scientists in antarctica say they have found evidence of a universe born, and the very same big bang as ours but with rules of physics that are completely opposite. In our universe, Higher Energy particles can only be detected coming down from outer space but using a giant balloonlike object, the scientists detected similar particles coming up out of the earth, implying the particles are actually traveling backward in time. Trevor this is insane. Scientists say theyve detected a yfersz, parallel universe, moving backwards in time. And before you get all excited yes, trump is still president in the parallel universe. The only difference in this universe he can read, which makes it even more funny. But it would be funny if, in the other universe, everything is backwards, so trump hates ivanka but wants to bang eric. Actually, the more i think about it, imagine how great it would be to live in a parallel universe where time is going backwards. Coronavirus goes away, trump goes away, president obama comes back its amazing oh, shit wait now slavery is back. I didnt think this through i didnt think it through all right, thats it for ray of sunshine. Lets catch up on todays lets begin with an update on the scandal surrounding mike pompeo, secretary of state and badguy coach in every sports movie. We learned this week that pompeo asked President Trump to fire an Inspector General who was investigating him for improper arms deals and for using Government Employees to run personal errands. And now it turns out the i. G. Was also looking into lavish dinners pompeo was throwing on the taxpayer dime. Now, pompeo says these were dinners to discuss Foreign Policy. The only issue with that story is the invite list included people like Reba Mcentire, nascar driver Dale Earnhardt jr, fox news hosts, and the c. E. O. Of chickfila. So it sounds more like pompeo was using the state Department Like his own personal makeawish foundation. I want Reba Mcentire to sing while i eat a chicken sandwich. And i want to ride in a race car for Foreign Policy purposes, of course. Like, im sorry, but how is the c. E. O. Of chickfila going to help americas Foreign Policy . southern what if we took the peace deal with the taliban and added a pickles . Is every idea you have to add pickles to things . We could also add waffle fries. Now, of course, one scandal at a time is never enough for this administration, so this morning, donald j. Trump went on twitter to stir up some more chaos. Reporter President Donald Trump now threatening to withhold federal election money from the state of nevada. In a tweet, the president said plans to hold the upcoming primary election by all mailin ballot here in nevada are illegal and set up the possibility for voter fraud. The president sent a similar tweet about michigan this morning, tweeting, michigan sends absentee ballots to 7. 7 Million People ahead of primaries and the general election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue secretary of state. I will ask to hold up funding to michigan if they want to go down this voter fraud path sot trevor whew there are two surefire ways to piss donald trump off showing him that shirtless photo of obama, and giving people access to mailin votes. I guess in trumps mind, voting should be like your wife smiling at you once a year, in public, and never at home. And, by the way, michigan isnt sending out ballots. Theyre sending out mailin ballot applications, just like a bunch of republican states are also doing. So trump is clearly just looking for an excuse to avoid losing. And theyre gonig to get crazier as the election gets closer. Its going to be like second graders playing sports. trump the results in wisconsin dont count i didnt say i was ready. Im ready now, florida, i win but political scandals aside, the big news is still the coronavirus pandemic. And today, the country has hit a new milestone with all 50 states at least partially reopened for business. Now, most states are taking things slow, because reopening is like dating you have to start slow with coffee, then maybe a meal, and then once youre sure theres no disease, then you go all the way. And while this is exciting, but also a little troubling, because 17 states are still showing a steady increase in new coronavirus cases. Hopefully that will not be a bad thing. What is bad, at least one state where the data was showing improvement may have been fudging the numbers. Reporter meanwhile, in georgia, the state department of Public Health posted a misleading chart on its web page. The Atlanta Journalconstitution says the chart made it look like the number of confirmed cases was dropping steadily, but it did not list the dates in order or keep counties in the same position each day. Its since been removed, and the department told the journalconstitution the chart was wrong because of an error in data sorting. Trevor okay, guys, this is messed up. Georgia is accused of basically facetuning its corona numbers to justify ending their lockdowns earlier. Now, in georgias defense, it may not be their fault they had the dates out of order. Its hard to keep track in quarantine. Like, i thought yesterday was friday and tomorrow was meatball which, of course, is ridiculous. Meatball isnt for two more days but take it from me, georgia cheating only hurts you in the long run. When i was in school, i forged straight as on my biology report card instead of studying. And to this day, i still dont know where my labia is. If their any other governors inspired by georgia, the team at Microsoft Might have the answer for you. Are you a state governor tired of manipulating your corona cases. Introducing microsoft xcel, coronavirus edition. It will show a flattening curve to justify your decision to reopen buffalo wild wings. 10,000 new cases . Flattening curve. Youre in the hospital right now . Not according to this chart so upgrade to our corona edition now. Data doesnt lie, but now you can. Also available for schools and the n. F. L. Trevor i gotta feed my pet roommate but after the break, i will tell you why masks dont also block the virus. They also block your freedom. Well be right back. Im coming, we love the new apartment. The Natural Light is amazing. Hardwood floors. There is a bit of a clogging problem. clog dancing at least geico makes it easy to bundle our renters and car insurance. Yeah, helping us save us even more. For bundling made easy, go to geico. Com face masks. Theyre keeping us healthy and letting us pretend were all shredder. Ill get you, Ninja Turtles trevor most people have gotten the message that even simple masks can slow the spread of coronavirus. In fact, in the u. S. , a nice 69 of americans saying they now wear masks when they leave the house. Well, now theres some new research confirming just how effective masks can actually be. And one of the best ways to protect yourself and others from getting covid19 is to wear a mask. A new study out of hong kong shows coronavirus transmission rates drop by 75 when surgical masks are used. Researchers used hamsters. Masks draped over the cages of infected hamsters dropped infection to 17 . Hamsters who still got infected, despite having a mask barrier, had less of the virus in their bodies compared to hamsters without masks. Trevor yeah, according to this eyeopening and, frankly, adorable, study masks drop transmission rates of the coronavirus by 75 . And while this is a great study for Public Health, i think its a huge missed opportunity for those scientists. I mean, why would you drape masks over the cage when you could have put tiny masks on the hamsters . I mean, thats instagram gold for a bunch of virologists, you guys dont know shit about going viral am i right . No ones here. So, clearly, Wearing Masks is important, but that doesnt mean that its easy. For one thing, unless you plan on buttchugging all your meals, it nearly makes it impossible to eat or drink, until now. Reporter as Health Officials are asking the public to wear face masks, a group of friends in texas just developed a mask that makes it easy to drink through. Reporter cordill had an epiphany when she had to take off her mask to take a sip of water. Thats when she came up with the idea for shut your mouth. The masks includes a front zipper that allows people to more easily get a drink while they are out in public. Reporter the latest look in protective face masks have people saying, ill drink to that. Thats because it comes with a hole for a straw. Reporter an israeli man created a protective face cover that allows you to eat food without removing your mask. You just squeeze a lever, which opens a slot for your mouth so you can eat without removing the mask. Trevor what a great invention. Now we can all have lunch, and nightmares i mean, nothing gets my appetite going like seeing my friends as ventriloquist dummies. Maaamaaamaaa. Although, i dont know why we needed that one with the zipper. It already exists. I have, like, three of those masks in my closet right now. Its dust masks. You know when you want to say something, yeah, ill be done in 10 minutes. Now, even though most americans are Wearing Masks, many still refuse, yeah. And confrontations between maskers and antimaskers have been going viral. And the latest one may be the best yet. You see, a las vegas patriot tried to shame a costco employee who told him that he needs to wear a mask in the store. And things did not go the way he expected. Reporter a costco employee in las vegas is being praised for standing his ground and denying a customer who refused to put on a mask. Hi, everyone. I work for costco, and im asking this member to put on a mask because that is our company policy. So either wear the mask and im not doing it because i woke up in a free country. Have a great day. So youre going to take this cart from me . Sir, have a great day. Full stop. You are no longer welcome here in our warehouse. You need to leave. Thank you very much. Here, you put it on. Ill give you my card. Hes going to take the cart away because hes a bleep little bitch. There he is, walking away with all my stuff. There he goes because im not a bleep sheep. Trevor whoo, that costco employee was not messing around he was straight up like, sir, if you dont put on a mask, im gonna have to hand you a free sample of your own ass. And i truly dont understand this. This man was just being asked to wear a mask while hes in the store. Thats not asking a lot. Do you know what i would do for a bulk quantity of toilet paper right now . Do you know who i killed i mean, who i would kill . These videos really give you a sense of how differently black and white people view struggle. Black people are turning their cameras on when they think theyre about to get shot. White people are turning them on to show the oppression of costcos store policies. They wouldnt let me take two. Like, even if you dont care about getting corona, its not about you, because your decision might affect other people. Its the same way you could say, im not a sheep. Im free. And i dont want a car with brakes. Yes, but the rest of us dont want your free ass flying through our windshield. Now, look, i do think there should be another solution to our mask debate, other than viral shaming. Isnt there Something Else we can do. Leo deblin has the answer. Do you want to go outside but hate wearing a face mask . Theyre hard to put on. They get all up in your eyes, and your breath smells like ass.
