all expenses paid. yeah, jim's going to be there. their marriage is not good. nobody knows better than me. definitely, we will. it's three weeks in tallahassee. what else is there to do? comedy central >> trevor: what's goings on, everybody, tremp noah here, welcome to another ep soaftd daily social distancing show. we are now on day 23, of staying at home to try and prevent the spread of coronavirus. and here's your quarantine tip of the day, sticking to a daily schedule will help to keep you motivated. yeah. that is why every day i get up at 3 in the afternoon, shower and then immediately take a nap. it keeps me going. anyway on tonight's episode, coronavirus is coming for black america, dulce sloan roasts the

homes of media people and a big annoys-- announce frment bernie sander, let's get straight into it. welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> if from trevor's couch couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. >> trevor: before we catch you up on the coronavirus news, we have to talk about the major story rocking the presidential race. bernie sanders has officially announced that he sending his campaign. yeah, and i got to say, man, this is a big one. and even though bernie lost two presidential races, you can argue he had an impact on america, i would argue he had more of an impact on america than some presidents. he pushed medicare for all to the mainstream, shined a light on income inequality and how corporations have used money to rig the system in their sphaifer. and he showed us all that it is okay to use our outdoor voice

indoors. yeah. that is the thing, you can use your voice wherenever you want, like now! bernie aside, coronavirus is the still dominating the news. of course it is, we are all stuck inside. before we get to the latest headlines let's catch up on fun news in our ongoing segment, a ray of sunshine. all right n our first bit of good news jack dorsey, the founder of twitter and world's richest barista has announced that he will be donating $1 billion to help fight the coronavirus. that is 28% of his wealth. yeah, and that is amazing, using your money to fight coronavirus. and what better person to fight the thing that is poisoning society than the inventor of a thing that is poisoning society. no, i'm just being a hater. this sin credible, like for real. stin credible because it is generous, it is is a powerful gesture at a moment like this, and it is also stloing shade, so

much shade at mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos because they also donatedded money, but they donated way, way less than dorsey. and they've got way, way more money than dorsey. he donated like 30% of their net worth and they donated less than half a percent of their net worth. like if the check at a restaurant came and everybody else tips five bucks and you buy the waiter a lamborghini, that is basically what dorsey did right here. yeah, yeah, thanks, the service was great, oh my friends, yeah, just cheap bitches, you know how it s not everyone has a billion dollars which is why people around the world have found all sorts of ways to try and stop the spread of this disease. for instance you know how we are all stressed about making sure that we keep six feet between ourselves and other people when we are out in public? well, some amateur inventors have come up with their own novel solution. >> this man's wacky social distancing device is going viral. he designed this contraction out

of-- con trap shun out of tent poles to know dpactly how far away six feet is. >> okay, that is a super smart idea but i will say it could have been a lot easier, it is cool to have the disk and everything but all you have to do to keep people from coming near you is just carry a clip board. then you just ask people if they have a few minutes to save the environment. and everyone will stay at least six feet away. and keeping people six feet away from you is a great idea until you need to get close to some people because they are delivering the food. how do you solve that problem? well, two heroes in missouri totally figured it out. >> a woman in missouri is taking no contact delivery to the next level. this is video from tiktok user tracy. she and her roommate set up a pulley system to get their pizza without ever having to open their door. they did it all using a box and some heavy duty yarn. they just put the cash in the box and then lowered it. >> tell me that is not genius. like what else were they going to do the only other solution

would have been to just have the delivery person leave the food at the door and then wait 15 seconds for them to leave. but there is no fun in that. and what an emotional roller coaster this must have been for that pizza hmmmm? you don't think about that. one minute the pizza was in there all happy like it's happening! i'm going to heaven. i can feel it, i'm floating. i-- no, no, why is she eating me, this is the bad place. i know what you are thinking, trevor, how am i going to work off all of this pizza i keep ordering at home if i can't get to the gym. here is a question, why make it to the gym when you can have the gym make it to you. >> one man not letting his gym closing down keep him from getting in a good workout. so he turned to nature. >> zachary skidmore got a chainsaw out went to work and built himself what he is calling the lumberjack gym out of logs from his farm. the lumberjack gym includes a pench press, squat rack, leg pretion, dumb bells, yes, even a treadmill and it's all made out

of wood. >> trevor: that is impressive. because if i built a gym out of a forest, i wouldn't have energy to work out because i just built a gym out of a forest. now this gie's attention to detail is truly impressive. did you see all the pieces, the bench, the leg pretion, he's got the squat machine, he's got everything you would find in the gym. yeah, he even made the old man in the locker room who refuses to cover up his balls. that was really intri gat-- intricate, the detail around the testicles, that is a lot of wood chipping. also, our one saving grace as humans is that animals don't really work out, can you imagine when the bears discover this and get jacked? it is over for us. all right, that is it for good new-- for the good news. let's talk about black people, they are like white people but with seasoning. in america black people have had a long history of getting the

short end of the stick, from swlaifery to jim crow, to the criminal justice system to the sunken place. but when it came to the coronavirus, it seemed like for once black people were catching a break. >> a lot of these viruses we're immune to yeah, because our skin is radiant and our skin comes from the sun. that sour super po wemplet melinin. >> the fever, we will not get the coronavirus, because we got a thing in our body that we call the melinin. >> minorities can't catch it. >> say it one more time. >> minorities can't catch it. >> minorities can't catch coronavirus. >> no. >> why do you say. >> name one. >> i don't know but. >> name one though. >> it could happen. >> name one of us. >> trevor: yeah, when this whole pandemic was just kicking off many people, many people thought coronavirus was something that just didn't involve black people. sort of like tennis elbow or

tiger king. very quickly we have come to learn that not only can black people get coronavirus, it turns out that black people are being hit harder than anyone else in america right now. >> with the rate of infection increasing in cities across america, there are alarming new statistics showing that pandemic is taking an especially heavy toll on minority imheuments. >> african-americans account for 41% of covid deaths in michigan, though only 14% of residents. in chicago, black residents represent 72% of deaths but just 30% of the population. >> louisiana's population is 32% black, which accounts for about 70% of coronavirus deaths. >> the dissipater and deaths among african-americans there is starylting. the data is clear. coronavirus is disproporgsessately impacting and killing people of color. >> trevor: that's right, as america has become the epicenter of the coronavirus worldwide, black america has become the epicenter of the virus' worst

effect. and this is become such a major problem that even president trump trp has taken notice. >> in the u.s. african-americans are dying at a much higher rate from covid-19 than other groups. president trump calls it a real problem and a tremendous challenge. >> this is something that has come up. and i don't mean by a little bit, i mean many times, it is a real thing. now why is it that the african-american community is so much, you know, numerous times more than everybody else? why is it three or four times more so for the black community as opposed to other people? it doesn't make sense. and i don't like it. and we're going to have statistics over the next probably two to three days. >> trevor: it almost sounds like trump is jealous that black people get coronavirus more than anyone else. just because of the way he said it. >> how come black people are getting it and not me. what do they have that i don't have?

is it swag? is that what if is, is st caused by swag? >> trevor: but look, obviously i'm joking. i am stot allly joking, man, if anything it is freshing, honestly refreshing to see president trump so concerned about the black community. but when he says it, it doesn't make sense that coronavirus is hitting black americans the hardest, it is actually the opposite. because when you look at the systemic and socio economic affects facing black people in america, it makes complete sense. you see, overall black people are less likely to have health insurance. black people are more likely to have preexisting conditions like asthma and diabetes. and those things make coronavirus more lethal. black people are also more likely to be in service jobs where you can't work from home. and you have to come into contact with lots of people every day. and of course, straight up racism affects black people as well. for example one study has found

that black people have been less likely to be offered a coronavirus test by their doctor even if they are exhibiting the same symptoms as white patients. yeah. so while almost every industry around the world is shut down, it looks like race civil is still centered an essential service. and racism is even affecting whether or not black people can protect themselves and cover their faces when they go outside. >> jodi armor is a law professor at usc law scoosm he and other academics believe wearing masks can pose a problem for people of color. >> the fear of being mistaken for a dangerous criminal may be greater than the fear of contracting covid-19. wearing protective masks while black is a concern just like driving while black is. >> this officer right here behind us, he just followed us from outside, told us that we cannot wear masks, there say presidential order, there say state order, and he is following us right out of the store.

we are being asked to leave for being safe. >> trevor: come on, man, this is some bullshit. if black people don't wear mask in public, what will happen. people will say they are endangering public health. but if black people do wear masks they are treated like they are preparing for a mission in red dead redemption, what do you exement black people to do. at this point the only safe way for black people to cover their faces in public is to try and disguise themselves as a white person, i'm not dawk being code switching. i'm talking about actually putting on a white person's face as your max. some people will be suspicious but it will work. >> hey, you look white but there's something off. say something only a white person would say. >> i wish kamala harris was back in this race. >> checks out, see you as hockey practice, buddy. >> trevor: so look, the unfortunate truth is the black community is being slammed by coronavirus right now. but in a way it is not because in is anything special about coronavirus strks because any wide spread crisis in america is

bound to hit the most vul neverrable and disadvantaged groups the hardest. and yes i know this is de pressing. especially right now. you it don't want to deal with coronavirus and racism at the same time, it sliek two marvel vilans coming into one movie. we don't have enough heroes. what we do have is real life black people showing how resilient they are. one of the videos that gave me the most joy is this viral video of a group of black people throwing a social distancing block party that i won't lie, brought me a little bit of joy. ♪ move. ♪ what y'all trying to do. ♪ 24karat magic. >> trevor: ah, yes, i remember when the only thing in the air we had to worry about was 24karats of magic. those were the good old days. >> all right, i don't know about you guys but being stuck in

quarantine, i have been watching a shit ton of news. like all day. that is the only thing i watch. just to try and find out what is going on in the world. and it turns out dulce sloan is also watching the news all the time. but it turns out she is focused on something totally different. check it out. >> hey, friends. i don't know about you but i just finished watching all the are you paul drag race, twice. so instead of watching news. >> there is more grim news at the epicenter of the pandemic. >> total coronavirus cases have eclipsed. >> in a week. >> more than 8,000. >> that got real de pressing real fast. and then i started watching on mute. >> tens of millions more americans. >> and it is amazing, you see all the anchors of broadcasters from their homes now. but if you don't listen to what they are saying and just look at the background, oh t is like the worst version of crib, check it

out. all right, now i love me some anderson cooper but this say little much. st like we get it, you read. i mean he looks like he lives in a real life game of clue. he doesn't need to be worry about corona, he needs to be worries about colonel mustard in the kitchen with the candlestick. >> how is this guy the same color as a wall. if he wasn't wearing a black jeact i wouldn't know where he stopped and the paul starts but is this apartment giving out american psycho vibes. but quit get the-- off the couch, we're going on aimplet the self-isolation got to this lady and she snapped. look at that, color coded books, why? for what? you look like you are live streaming from inside-- how does that even work. what should i read tonight. how about something blue. i love to see her in a book stomplet excuse me, do you have anything in a sea foam green, girl, what? >> is that how a cnbc reporter lives. this stone fireplace is bigger than every studio apartment in

brooklyn. >> smaiking sure there is not an mfa student watching in. there he has money, i can give you that. >> i like to watch where you watch the line on the truck go up, hold on. please give me $500,000 dollars. expert. >> wow, nice poster. slow down, cool dad, don't smoke all the weed. why is he even there. i thought colleges closed their dorms. >> boring. >> oh, move around, i can't tell if this woman is going to update us on the news or sell us handmade jewelry. woman, are you not in the south west, are you in florida. i want to see the golden girl set. give me shoulder pads, were blanchee, yo, this looks like a-- if there is anything i have seen, it is-- what is up where the k57bd el sticks strks is like a harry potter wand got again tal warts, huh-uh, i don't like that. >> is this a hallmark or time

out. wait. is this guy-- maybe he is the picture that comes with the frame because his whole vibe is kind of the picture that comes with the frame. but also is he single kutz i don't know if i have been in the quarantine too long, but-- a real hot-- hmmmm. >> all right. that saul for today, friends. join me next time when i roast trevor noah's apartment. like what is this trophy? did he win the world cup but for babies? see you then, bye! >> trevor: wow. okay. i feel like that last one was unnecessary, dulce, anyway, when we come back i will be talking to roxanne gay about the racial disparity about coronavirus and pwhat every day people can do to help. so stick around.

the racial disparities-- disparities rounding -- vowngd the coronavirus. welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> hey trevor, how are you? >> trevor: i'm dos okay. i mean sometimes i feel like the world is ending and i stress about everybody and at other times i feel like we will get out of it i know i am extremely lucky that i can still work. how are you doing? >> you know, the same, i am extremely lucky that i can still do at least part of my job. people still want to read, especially now that they have some time. but i'm also worried about the state of the world and there more vulnerable people in it because if i find it difficult, what are people who are living paycheck to paycheck and on the margins of society, like how are they feeling. i think about that a lot. >> trevor: you have had a really interesting role in shaping our dmfertion and around coronavirus and what we can do as people to help each other. and that conversation has been around how we help, you know there are many organizations that are trying to help there

are many philanthropies that are trying to help, et cetera. but you have come out with what many people think is a radical idea and you just said give people money if you can. just give human beings money. why do you say this and how did you get to this jd idea? >> you know, the reality is that if we are going to sit around waiting for the government or nonprofits to get it together enough to actually help people, people are going to go hungry in the mean time. their electricity is going to be cut off in the mean time. a lot of what people need right now is cash, and no questions asked. and so i was thinking about, you know, how drastically i had lost my income and i just thought well, i can probably weather this for a few month. but what about people who can't. so i just decided, well, let me give some people some money because i know that right now people are trying to stock up on groceries. and water and toilet paper. and so i wanted to be able to help a few people to do that. and you know, especially when

you have to wait like four or five weeks or more for a 1200 one time check from the government, you know, and you know, in a better world the government would handle this. but we don't live in a better world. we live in this world. so those of us with means i think have to do our part to whatever extent we can. >> trevor: i won't lie, when i first saw your tweet and what you were doing the pes mist in me immediately jumped out because i pannished. i was just like i sphrop-- i panicked, i said if you need money let me know and i will send you money, immediately i thought roxanne, people will scam you, how do you trust everyone. how do you know people need the money. how have you dealt with the conflict of information in your mind. >> you know, i did worry about that. most people seem to be really worried about me getting scammed. i don't have time to play detective and csi everyone. so if you are really running a scam for $100, then your karma is, you know, what happens to your karma is what happens to your karma.

you know, i may have been scammed but i can live with that knowing that more people who are genuine and who actually need the help are being helped than people are scamming. >> trevor: you have received praise from so many different people for inspiring this. i would argue one of the biggest names who came out in support of what you are doing is president barack obama who tweeted about you and said what roxanne is doing is amazing. as communities we need to come together and help. i have heard you say that you had sort of conflicting feelings about this. because on the one manned you were happy that barack, i mean barack obama is saying congratulations and he's inspired by your cause. but at the same time you felt like you could be doing more. what did you mean by that. >> you know, i think that he has sate spent a lot of his post presidency as is his right by being decidedly a ploit kal. but right now we need leaders too step forward to say what donald trump and his administration are doing is

unacceptable. they are absolutely letting american people die, it's avoidable. and a former president has some clowt clout, he should say something but at the same time i'm sierp honored and flat erred that he mentioned me, and was aware of what he was doing. so is i think the tension is high. i am totally fine holding him accountable for his power and what he can do with it, while also being appreciative of the recognition. >> you have always been somebody who has engaged in and written about communities and people who are the most marginalized in society. you know, as the coronavirus is growing, as the outbreak is spreading and as its affects are being felt by communities, black people and the amount of suffering they're experiencing, black americans specifically is unfortunately becoming a story again with like oh, once again black people are bearing the brunt of something that is happening in america. firstly, what do you think this says about america and secondly

what do you think can be done if anything. >> well, it shows that what those of us is who have been talking about inequality all along are talking about is that the inequities are systemic. and when something like a pandemic happens those inequities beome even more pronounced. and we are seeing that now with the truly horrifying mortality rates for coronavirus in the black community. and so what we need to do is create actual systemic change, to suggest that perhaps universal basic income and medicare for all are no longer as far fetch fantasies but realities everyone is going to benefit from. but especially black people. >> trevor: before i let you go, you are helping people directly. you have organizations that you feel are doing an amazing job. if somebody is watching this thing, roxanne, i also want to help. i want to do something. where do they even begin, what advice would you give them? >> i think look at what is going on in your community and decide is which organizations are the

best, for you and where you want to spend your dollars. i think food banks are a really good place to spend your money right now. and planned parenthood and rain because domestic violence rates are increasing at really alarming rates now that everyone is at home, and people are feeling economic pressure. so i just think it's-- what are your interests and how can you best direct whatever expendable money you have to those organizations. >> jordan: >> trevor: well, thank you so much for your time, look after yourself, stay haley, mentally especially because are you on twitter so much out there. and hopefully i will be seeing you soon on the other side. >> yeah, you will, it's great to see you begin. >> trevor: nice seeingk you, racks ann, bye. thank you so much for your time, i appreciate you. well, that is our show for today. before we go, as always, i would like to remind you that as america reaches peak coronavirus infections, the doctors, nurses and first responders in this

country need our help, so please go to thrive global's first spoarnds first and donate whatever you can to help them get the masks, gloves and gowns that they need to save lives. and if you want to help in new york city specifically, please go to the new york mayor's fund covid-19 response and donate there. stay safe out there. wash your hands. remember you can freeze your toilet paper to make it last longer. and i will see you gen tomorrow it now here it is, your moment of zen. >> congressman delaney called medicare for all, political suicide, what do you say to congressman delaney? >> fp they're not go-- throw your hands up. >> but you got donald trump up here and ask him how much he pays in taxes. >> your question is a republican talking point. >> in all due respect. >> did you go back to my third grade essay when i was at ps197.

>> i do know, when i wrote the damn bill. >> senator sanders let me bring you into this conversation. >> thank you, i wrote the damn bill. were you wanna see a picture of phillip wearing those little booties you got us? so cute! hey, you guys wanna see a picture of gerald wearing galoshes? he refused to go out in the rain until i bought these. now going out in the rain is all he wants to do. oscar thinks having a dog is just like having a baby. newsflash. if you didn't carry it around in your belly for nine months, it isn't your kid. exactly. unless you adopted, of course. that is where we disagree. hey, are your little dudes crawling yet? no, 3-month-old humans don't do that. my philip is crawling. angela is such a liar! it's maddening! exactly. that's just like crate training. all night long, all night long. well, count yourself lucky. wait until you have two.
