from comedy central he's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah! (cheers and applause). >> trevor: welcome to the daily show, everybody. thank you so much for tuning in. thank you for coming out. thank you so much for coming out. take a seat, let's make a show, i'm trevor noah. we have two guests joining us tonight. first here to talk about new york city's response to the

coronavirus, mayor bill de blasio is joining us, everybody. (applause) and then, then we're going to be joined by the star of the new show dave, lil dicky is here. also on tonight's episode, bernie sanders isn't going anywhere. toilet paper could get you killed and joe biden is sick of your shit. so let's catch up on today's headlines. all right, so look, normally we would catch up on all of the headlines from around the world. you know, maybe we what talk about harvey weinstein getting 23 areas in prison. (cheers and applause) we can talk about the supreme court for giving president trump a victory on immigration. but today there's only one-story the entire world is talking about, the coronavirus, aka covid-19, aka mum bo number death. (laughter) it is now in 110 countries with

over 122,000 confirmed cases and it it looks like it's only getting worse. >> the world health organization told officially designating coronavirus as a global pan demic. congress' in-house doctor told capitol hill staffers at a closed door meeting he expects 75 to 150 million people in the united states to contract the coronavirus. >> new tests lead by the u.s. government scientists show the virus can live in the air for several hours and on some surfaces for up to three days. >> oh, okay, that is a lot of information so let's try and break it all down. first, the world health organization has officially just declared coronavirus a global pan demic. which yes, is scary for us humans but from corona's perspective, it's pretty cool. yeah, because for a virus this is like going platinum, you know. it is a big day, started from the wuhan, now we're here. i think it's pretty cool for corona. and yes i'm saying that because i hope if i suck up to consider owna it will leave me alone.

i am not sure if it will work but i will try it. the second piece of information is more disconcerting. congress' in-house doctor says up to 150 million people in the united states could end up getting corona. yeah, that is half the country. the other half won't get it because they're clearly loser was don't have friends. yeah, it is going to be like how do you not have corona, has nobody touched you? i would rather be dead. and the third point might be the most scary. we're learning that this coronavirus can stay on some surfaces for up to three days. yeah. although in new york it doesn't stay as long because it can't afford the rent. that is the good news. the housing crisis is real. now in some surfaces like cardboard apparently corona can only survive for a day if it is cardboard but on harder surfaces like glass it can survive for much longer, so like your cell phone, that could be a problem. yeah, my advice, clear your browsing history.

yeah, i mean you might still get corona but at least the doctors won't see all the freaky shit you have been serving on your phone, is this your emergency contact, what the hell? i know we're all scared but st important to keep a clear head, panic is not going to help anything. we're still learning about this. we're still learning about the mortality rate. pan i believe-- panic does not help. right now some people are letting their panic mack them dumb as shit. >> the impact of the coronavirus being felt across from the country affecting air travel, schools and what son store shelves or not on store shelves. some retailers seeing a run on many of the bakes. >> a crazy scene at a grocery store where toilet paper has been in high demand. >> surveillance video shows a stampede of customers clearing the shelves. >> fights over toilet paper breaking out in grocery stores as shelves run empty. >> get off me. >> people, what are you doing? i really don't understand what people-- you do not need to

panic over toilet paper. water, i would understand, right, food, medicine, yes, but you can survive without toilet paper. don't forget you are any bathroom, how will i clean my butt in this room with a shower. i feel like people in first world countries don't know what to panic about. toilet paper? are you shitting me? (applause) it's like-- what's next, people are being to be running around wal-mart like oh, warwhere is the car wax, ahhh! and maybe it is because where i grew up there were times when we didn't have toilet paper, honestly when i was a kid, we always made a plan, you can newspaper, rub it together, you can use paper towels, everyone in america has a dog, push comes to shove, wipe your ass on the dog, frekels, get out here. feel like i would rather use my

hand, trevor. look, man, just avoid panicking because if you panic you stop thinking clearly. if are you not thinking clearly, then will you start to believe anything that you hear. and there is a lot of bad information that is out there. >> the spread of coronavirus is also lead to a lot of spread of misinformation. >> there are more rumors going around on social media about how to avoid the coronavirus. eating garlick drinking bleach, snorting cocaine yes and masturbation are not miracle cures for coronavirus. >> trevor: yes. drinking bleach, snorting cocaine, and masturbating is not the way to cure corona. it is the way to kick off the worst rock 'n' roll party of your life, that's what that is. that is what that is. and i don't understand how anyone would fall for any of that. none of those things gets rid of the coronavirus. bleach gets rid of stains, you

can't drink it. it is not going to help you, garlic gets rid of vampires, okay. cocaine gets rid of your money, that's it. in a way the only thing that makes sense is masturbating, okay. it won't cure you but if you stay in and do that all day you will probably have less chance of catching the virus. yeah, you foe, if the cdc really wants people to self-quarantine, forget the pur el, they should just hand out lotion, here you go, stay home and social distance yourself, you know what i mean. all right, that is it for the headlines. let's move on to our top story. (applause) the democratic primary race is down to two major candidates. the old man from up and the old captain america. and because yesterday was another big day on the path to the nomination it's time to catch up on the latest developments in our ongoing segment world war d.

(applause) yesterday democrats in six states went to the polls to cast their votes and get some coronavirus. and after a strong showing on super tuesday biden picked up right where he left off. >> former vice president joe biden expanded his lead in the democratic presidential race. biden won in at least four of the six states which voted yesterday. he took the battleground state of michigan by double digits. biden now leads the race by 150 delegates which significantly narrows any path to victory for senator bernie sanders. >> looking at the math tonight i think it's almost certain that bernie sanders does not have a mathematical path to becoming the democrat you can nominee. >> let's shut this puppy down and let's move on and worry about november. this thing is decided. there is no reason to keep it going, not even a day longer. >> trevor: okay, okay, okay. that talking raisin needs to calm down. yes, joe bied enhad a great

night. doesn't mean you have to shut the primary down immediately. the presidential race is not a kissing booth in the wuhan province, all right? because look, it is true, st true that because of last night's results there have already been calls for bernie sanders to step aside and let the slightly younger generation take over. but let me tell you something, if you think a little turbulence is going to shake bernie sanders out of the race, you need to think again. >> senator bernie sanders earlier today making clear he has no plans to drop out of the presidential contest. >> on sunday i very much look forward to the debate in arizona with my friend joe biden. and let me be very frank as to the questions that i will be asking joe. joe, what are you going to do about the fact that we have the highest rate of childhood poverty. what are you going to do to end the terror that millions of undocumented people experience right now. what are you going to do to end the absurdity of billionaires

bying elections. joe, what are you going to do, what are you going to do. >> trevor: what are you going to do when they come for you. bad boys bad boys, what are you going to do. ♪ what are you going to do, when they come for you. (applause) so yeah, for now bernie sanders is not dropping out of the race. and what was interesting is some people worried that the only reason bernie was staying was to burn the party to the ground. but after today's speech it seems like bernie wants to push bied into a more progressive platform. and i think it is really nice of bernie that he is giving biden the questions before hand. yeah. you know, he could have made it a surprise but now is he like one of those cool teachers in school that tells you what is going to be on the test and you think they are being nice but they just don't want toee see your ass again if you get held back so that is why they are doing it, i need you to pass, okay. so it will be interesting to see bernie putting pressure on bied enin their first one-on-one debate in sunday. and i will be honest, i think

joe biden is ready for the fievment i say that because yesterday a video came out of biden going toe to toe with a factory worker in michigan and he was fired up. >> earlier in the day in de 2r0eu9 biden had a test see. >> how do you intend be getting the union vote when a large portion of union workers are gun enthusiasts and are you trying to diminish our second amendment right to take away our guns. >> you are full of shit. >> shush, shush. i support the second amendment. i have a shotgun. i have a 20 gage, a 12 gage, my son hunts. you need a hundred rounds. >> when you said were you going to take over guns. >> i did not say that. that is not-- i did not say that. >> there say viral video. >> a viral videos like the other ones they are a lie. >> trevor: goddam slarm wow, i can't believe joe biden got into a fight with that factory worker. especially considering he was surrounding by all of his boys. i mean that is riky.

at the same time biden knows those guys can't touch it not because of secret service but because of coronavirus. yeah. no one is touching anyonement hold me back, no, seriously hold me back it is very important right now that we maintain social distancing. when we get a vaccine in 12 to 18 month i'm going to kick your ass. until then, wash your hands. you're mine. now after this video came out, a lot of people even some democrats said that is the worst part of that exchange was biden telling a voter that he was full of shit. what was interesting is that that factory worker went on fox news today and what he had to say was really different. >> when you looked at this confrontation it lasted for a long time. what is your response about his use of profanity. >> you know, i am kind of used to it in the workforce. and as a politician, i can understand the way how things have gone, are you not supposed to use profanity but in this day and age, it is a language. i'm not going to hate him for

that. and i use it all the time. most people use it all the time. >> trevor: wow. (applause) i was impressed by that. that factory worker still doesn't agree with biden on guns, he wasn't-- but i liked he wasn't going to protend to be offended by the profanity. you could see the fox news anchor wasn't expecting that an certificate, look at that face. he looks like he was expecting a surprised party and walked in on his parents having sex, that is what that face is. and maybe one of the reasons this guy wasn't offended was because when it's trump or bernie or bied en, voters seem to like it when politicians talk like normal people. and i will be honestk i'm hoping that this straight talking you're full of shit biden becomes his new thing. soon he will be walk into diners hey, asshole, that is a good looking pickle, which is what your mom said to me last night, heh heh heh, all right, vote for

me, fat ass. we'll be right back. (applause)

(applause). >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show. as mayor of the nation's largest city my first guest is responsible for helping new york city confront the coronavirus outbreak. please welcome mayor bill de blasio. (applause) welcome. welcome to the show. >> welcome, virtual handshake. very good. >> trevor: a new thing, virtual handshakes and wide fives. let's jump straight into this it, this is a strange time tor people, i will speak for myself t is a very confusioning time. i don't know if i should be afraid, should not be afraid, should be more panicked, not panicked at all. where do we stand right now from new york and then from what you know about what is happening in

cities around the world. >> you know, franklin roosevelt the famous quote we have nothing to fear but fear itself. you know, there is an element of this that is fear that has been generated beyond the facts, beyond the reality. and so when you really look at coronavirus, st serious. we have to make a lot of adjustments to address it. but i worry that it's becoming sort of a cause for-- making a bunch of decisions that actually alter all the rest of our life including in bad ways. let me give you an example. some people are saying close our schools am now we have a lot of evidence that this disease thank god does not really have that much of an impact on healthy children. >> trevor: right. >> when you think about folks saying close everything, close schools, when in fact the evidence says our kids are, thank god, pretty safe. and we want our kids to get an education. a lot of parents say to me our kids need the schools not just for education, it is where they get the meals.

parents without don't have any other choice where they are going to have their kids if they don't have the school. so it is thinking about the whole picture. we do have to make serious adjustments. and government has to act and people have to act. but let's not make this the false idol. let's, you know, have an honest conversation about what sph and what it isn't. >> trevor: should people get tested, if i feel sick should i get tested. how does it work for people in new york and how do you think it should work scaling outward. >> so one day i think we will have such abundant testing capacity that if will be something broadly brought out into the populationment but until that i da, the focus on people with symptoms, folks who have traveled to the most affected areas. folks in contact with someone who does have confirmed case of coronavirus, that is where you have to start. but doctors can do a very initial test, they have it right now t is not about trove, they-- coronavirus, they can tell if you your problem is something else. they do it all the time.

it say test that tells you have all sorts of common issues, cold, flu, et cetera kind of thing. once you know that you are stick and it is not one of those more traditional things. we want those folks to get the coronavirus test, we have a sense of priority and what we are finding is among us, we have 53 people as of today who have tested positive. a lot of them are at home. they are healthy, she are seeing it through. they are having limited symptoms. some are in the hospital, in tough shape, some are coming out of it. it is not just one thing about i do think the idea, why don't we as a nation mobilize all our resources, get the testing truly to be all over the country where it is needed. get people tested in a really extensive manner. then we will know what is what and we can get people help. listen, 80% of the people who get it have very little negative experience. it is like cold or flu in reality. for the other 20%, most of them have a tough time but they are come out okay in the end except that small percentage, god forbid and that is typically the oldest and folks really ill who may not make it. >> is it hard for leaders to

just say hey, are you already on death's door, this thing will take you out or do you have to like, is that, does it make the messaging harder? because it sometimes feel like you have to be like look, it may be that some of you, whereas i know you can't say it but it a would be gangster if you could come out and say like hey, if you are going to die, you are going to die, and corona s just like making that happen. >> trevor, i really don't think you should run for public office. >> i agree with you. >> i-- i agree with you but i honestly, like what balance do you have to maintain as a leader in terms of being opaque versus telling people, like the president has said to people i don't think we should panic. you know, i don't know if this thing will be that bad it could go down to zero. people have criticized him for some of that. what would you say is the key difference for your messaging versus his. >> first the president of the u.s. has committed i think a fundamentals sin in terms of being a leader but not saying

this will take a lot of work, sacrifice, this will be with us a long time. so you know, there is something about being a leader where you don't discourage people from having faith and strength and create fear. nor do you tell them oh, you know, just look away from the problem. it is all going to be fine, it will be done by april. you have to tell people truth and then invite them to be part of the solution that is what we are trying to do here. >> trevor: thank you so much for being on the show. really appreciate it. mayor bill de blasio, everybody. we'll be right back.

to be with he is. if you watch the show, i don't care what your dream s i feel like you can apply it to the show because i had a very improbable dream and it came true. and i think that is kind of the core of the show. everyone out there probably has their own dreams and if you watch the show it will inspire you to act, not act like be an actor but act on your dream. >> trevor: act on your dreams but not act like an actor. >> unless your dream is to be an actor, then it will be spire you to-- . >> trevor: to act. >> yes. >> trevor: we are on the same page. >> exactly the same page, it's going well. >> trevor: this has been a ton of fun thanks for being on the show. >> thanks for having me, guy. >> trevor: dave, a really funny show. airs wednesday on 10 p.m. on fsx. dave burd, everybody. we'll be right back.
