to a hefty dose of sunshine of may be exactly what you need. our first feel-good story comes out of south korea, birthplace of k-pop and the best place to raise a family in someone else's house. after successfully dropping their coronavirus cases to basically zero, south korea has decided that it's time to play ball! responsibly. >> reporter: baseball season is under way in south korea, but no fans are there to see it. >> reporter: posters posing as fans filled the seats for yesterday's opening game of the kbo league. they may not see anything more bizarre though than this: that's a 9-year-old inside a big baseball bubble. he walked himself from the pitcher's mound to home plate to create a socially distant first pitch. >> trevor: yes, south korea has found a way to bring back sports in the age of coronavirus, and this looks really safe!
9:01 am
don't get me wrong, i mean, people are still going to die of boredom-- it is baseball, after all-- but, thankfully, they're safe from corona. i have one question: why are the fake people wearing masks? it just seems unnecessary. america has already shown that if you're a person made out of cardboard, you don't 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 guy's chest. oh, my god, why isn't 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 doesn't 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
9:02 am
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 can't even remember what happened last night. ( irish ) "i spent faftin days in a british prison, for some-tin' i dinna remember!" and this is really nice, but if i were native american, i'd be a little suspicious of any european trying to give me anything. i'd be like, "thanks for the money. why don't you go ahead and lick it first.
9:03 am
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 aren't possible during the pandemic, portland has announced that instead of cancelling the event, they're 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 someone's riding around naked. "what are you doing, man?! cover your face, you creep! put a mask on!" if there are 10,000 naked bikers, that's an event. but one naked guy on a 10 speed, you just nasty. all right, that's it for the ray of sunshine, let's get into today's headlines.
9:04 am
let's kick it off with one of the growing effects of the coronavirus epidemic: meat shortages. as you probably know, many meat-processing plants around america have been forced to shut down after their facilities turned into covid-19 hotspots. and if they can't process the meat, well, then, you can't 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 wendy's restaurants, managers are asking that famous question from a wendy's ad campaign: "where's the beef?" >> reporter: try ordering your favorite wendy's burger this week, and you may be disappointed. "some of our menu items may be temporarily limited," the company acknowledged today. at one drive-through window, you could get an apology but no triple cheeseburger. >> trevor: yeah, america's beef shortage has gotten so bad, that fast food places are even running out of burgers. and i feel bad for wendy's. not only are they running out of meat, but wendy even had to trim
9:05 am
her own bangs in quarantine. we've all been there, girl. now, obviously, this is bad for meat lovers, but it's 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. "i'm actually a vegan." "yeah, yeah buddy. we're all vegans now." but if you love meat, don't be stressed. as long as there's sawdust and pigs' butts, you'll always have hot dogs. hot dogs.... never think too hard about them. moving on. remember all those stories about healthcare workers and how they're struggling to get enough protective equipment? well, now we might now who to blame: jared kushner, presidential advisor, and "man in a love triangle with his father-in-law." >> 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
9:06 am
trump's son-in-law 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 mar-a-lago, a former "apprentice" contestant, and fox news host jeanine pirro. and, sadly, this isn't a surprise. because since trump became president, the white house has started operating like a nightclub: you need connections or money to get in, everyone's talking way too loud, and there's a lady spending the whole time trying
9:07 am
to avoid some annoying guy. if you're going to get help from a tv personality to search for coronavirus equipment, it should't be someone from fox. it should be maury. yeah, because at least he's experienced with testing. "coronavirus... you are not the father." ( bleep ). ( bleep ). and, finally, some strange non-corona 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 you're 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 florida-based security company named silvercorp. silvercorp's c.e.o. admitted that he was leading a mission to infiltrate venezuela and capture president maduro. >> what we've learned publicly thus far about this operation is it appears to be somewhat of a
9:08 am
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 it's actually true. here's 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 didn't work out, is the security company tweeted about the operation while it was under way. and i don't know what's 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
9:09 am
past it probably would've 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 isn't gonna kill you." all right, that's it for the headlines. after the break, we're going to see how president trump handled his field trip to the mask only wendy's 2 for 5 has all the chicken you crave. you can choose from the spicy or homestyle chicken sandwich. crispy or spicy 10-piece nuggets. but let's be real, you're gonna get those 20 spicy nuggs for 5 bucks. only at wendy's. treat yourself to a heath bar. because nothing says special like rich english toffee. ♪ heath, it's english toffee
9:11 am
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 let's catch up on his latest coronavirus adventures in our continuing coverage of "the pandumbic." the lockdowns have been hard on many people, but it's been
9:12 am
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 covid-19, he's 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 he's 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 government's 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.
9:13 am
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! don't you know there's a pandemic? i can't 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 guy's suit? i mean, at that point, you're just using him as a corona napkin. and you know trump is going to lie about this if he's 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
9:14 am
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 pence's faux pas at the mayo clinic, trump decided not to wear a mask while walking around the mask factory. and, look, i know he's worried about how he looks, but that makes no sense. i mean, the mask would literally be the least-distracting thing on trump's head. everything else needs, like, nine hours of explanation. now, the white house's defense is the president doesn't need to wear a mask because everyone who comes into contact with him is given a rapid coronavirus test. and if that's 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! america's testing problem is solved! do we even need fauci? i feel like i'm 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
9:15 am
doesn't work at fox news. and immediately, they asked him about why his administration had such a slow response. >> don't forget, the cupboard was bare. the other administration, the last administration, left us nothing. we didn't have ventilators. we didn't have medical equipment. we didn't have testing. >> you know, you're three years into your first term what, did do you when you became president to restock those cupboards that you say were bare? >> i'll 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, that's a shitty excuse. you're the president. that's kind of the nature of the
9:16 am
job. "whoa, whoa, whoa! i just wanted to run the country. i didn't know i'd have to multitask." and how is trump going to blame obama for not having tests for a disease that didn't even happen yet? it feels like any time trump needs an excuse, his go-to is obama. he's probably been doing this since he was a kid. "donald, why haven't you cleaned your room?" "mom, it wasn't 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, it's 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, he's 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 can't keep
9:17 am
our country closed for the next five years. i'm 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: that's right, for trump, the priority right now isn't to try to stop the pandemic. it's 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 you're not dworgs him. you're just continuing your marriage with a different person who you don't hate. what's clear is between his refusal to wear masks, his weak
9:18 am
excuses for not preparing for the pandemic, and his attempt to kill the task force, trump's field trip yesterday didn't 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, that's it. it's the only one. ( siren ) whoa, whoa, whoa. that wasn't green. it was the red button. that's okay. a lot of people mix up green and red. that was the meltdown button. that's okay you did the best you could. why don't you stand over there, mr. president. everything will be okay. we're all going to be okay. shit, shit, shit. hey, bill, can you disarm a countdown? we've got, like, nine seconds,
9:19 am
bill. eight. seven. >> trevor: that's our president! all right, i've got to go pee, but when we come back, roy wood jr. is on the show, and he finds the creator of the website we've all been looking at. all been looking at. stick around. [son] mom! yeah... [son] i fell. okay there's bandages in the cabinet.

"the daily social distance show." you know, for all the global attention corona has captured, it's 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 you've been following the news during this global pandemic, then you'd know that the reported statistics have been as inconsistent the wifi at your mama's house, the wifi you told her to speed up a long time ago. and quarantined with your momma during a pandemic. >> if we didn't do it, you would have had a million people, a million and a half people, maybe two million people dead. but we're going toward 50,000 5r 60,000 people. >> 100,000 to 200,000 deaths. >> it looks more like the 60,000

9:24 am
are these things called, and basically has-- >> okay, okay! you know computer shit. move on. most teenagers spend time making high-brow videos. but this dude chose to make a website tracking a murderous disease. why? >> i wanted to make it, like, just easy to find the information and thought it would just be helpful to some people and, you know, i started this, you know, very late december and-- >> you knew in december! >> yeah, around the 29th. >> avi spotted a crisis before our own government, despite his superpowers why would a teenager invest so much time on a website that doesn't have nudity? what are you trying to get out of this, avi, an msnbc show? they could swap you with chris hayes and no one would notice. >> if they want to give me one, sure. >> or are you trying to get into a good college. all you had to do was lie and say you were rogue. >> i already have job offers to do full-sack web developments. you don't necessarily have to go
9:25 am
to college for that. >> avi's site has over 600 million visitors from every country on the planet, even antarctica-- wait, that's a country, right? with that kind of traffic, i know you're set. if you need somebody to help you sell ads hire me man. i'm a good salesman. >> i turned down $8 million for advertisements on the web site but, there's-- >> wait, wait, what did you say? i thought you just said you turned down $8 million. you would have to be a dumb ass to do that. >> i declined because i didn't want pop-up ads and be forced to keep my website running. >> 8 million. you said $8 million. you just said no? hey, man, excuse me a second. what am i doing wrong with my life! he left 8 million on the table and i have nothing.

i'm back, man. sorry about that, i just think you're crazy for turning down free money. no disrespect. two things i have to remember-- avi created a site offering clarity on the effects corona is having on the planet. and secondly, i'm a grown-ass man talking to an underaged teen online. i have to wrap thup. which countries are handling it better than the u.s.? >> south korea is definitely handling this way better than the entire world. i mean, they tested so much of their population so fast, i mean, they didn't have to shut down their country. meanwhile, you know, i haven't had school in months. so-- >> so what do you think we're going to be looking like in september with this quarantine because i've got to get out of this house, man! >> i guess zeal to wait and see but, you know, until there's a vaccine, things will probably still be pretty weird for a while, so... >> till then, i'll just have to focus on the future. all right, so you've been great with covid-19 predictions. how are you with sports nigot money on the lakers to win it

>> trevor: welcome back toed "the daily social distance show." earlier today, i got the chance to speak to chef jose andres, whose nonprofit "world central kitchen," has served nearly six million meals across the us and spain since launching its covid-19 response two months ago. well, we talked about that and more. so check it out. chef jose andres, welcome back to the "the daily social distance show" this time. how are you, my friend? >> i'm six feet away from you, six feet. >> trevor: more than six feet away. it feels every time-- every time i meet you it's because there's a disaster somewhere in the the
9:31 am
world, and, like, a superhero of food, you've stepped in to help feed people. the coronavirus has done more than just shut down people's businesses. it means millions of people don't have access to food. and as soon as i heard about this crisis, i heard about your name and about your organization that has jumped into of in to start feeding people. we know that you did this in puerto rico. we know you did this after the hurricanes. but this is a unique experience. what are you dealing with right now? >> well, we began many months ago yolk hawm ajapan, princess cruise ship. many people have corona. and the leadership called us and we went there to help the japanese government feed the 6,000 men and women on that cruise ship. so from there, we went to oakland to help governor newsom to also feed the cruise ship. and very early on, because we were following from wuhan, we saw the same will happen in
9:32 am
other countries around the world, as was happening in china. what we saw was happening in italy. the country was-- spain. america was going to be hit as hard, if not more. so we began preparing ourselves to think if everything shuts down means people are going to be without work. all of a sudden, we have four million food-insecure americans. the number is going to increase. well, all of these things are happening. we are right now doing close to a quarter million meals a day. we are ready beyond five million. we are in many cities, in many states, trying to cover the blind spots of the system-- elderly homes, first responders, police, firefighters, obviously hospitals that all of a sudden they are 24/7, overworked. we need to provide meals at night for those nurses and doctors that don't even have time to go back home. that's what we're doing, making
9:33 am
sure wherever there is a big need, especially in the hot zones, we show up with a response, even before people can see the problem coming. we are a big army. so many restaurants that are shut down. every chef, every restaurant wants to be part of the solution. we're trying to make sure we create the right response using those men and women, where their heart is feeling the feel, but also feeding the many. >> trevor: you have done something interesting. you found a way to scale your organization during a time when most people are strug throing keep their organization alive. because one of the challenges of coronavirus is who do you get to help you, and how do you find support? what you have done is really interesting. some restaurants have now turned from the usual business to it up tullely helping your central kitchen to feed people that need to be fed in their cities. how did you get them on world? and how does this actually work? >> well, what we saw is that in the hurricane, when we went to
9:34 am
the bahamas, the entire northern islands of the bahamas were totally destroyed. but this is a crisis that is very different. we have almost every single restaurant shut down. so we have more than 600 restaurants right now in our system, that they partner with us. the donations we get, we-- we channel them through the restaurants, and in the process, we identify at the local level what the needs are. and it is something beautiful when the locals feed themselves. when the local communities that know best what's needed takes care of the problem right there. we don't plan. we go and we do it. because hunger cannot wait. the urgency of now is yesterday. and that's what we do. >> trevor: with a lot of these restaurants right now, you know, there's a supply chain that has been affected. and we're seeing it in different ways. i mean, america's beef or pork is going to be, you know, in
9:35 am
short supply. we're reading about how farms are producing food, and they don't know how to get that food to people. is there anything that your organization has figured out in terms of getting this food that's going to be thrown away while there are hungry people? because it seems like a paradox. you have so many people going more hungry, and, yet, there is so much more food being thrown away. >> yes, it's a national security issue, and we cannot take it for granted. especially small farmers. they used to sell to restaurants. restaurants are gone. so all of a sudden, we have long lines in food banks across america, and many parts around the world. and farmers that they are throwing their produce and their fruits to the fields. how is this possible? everything is the solution. so i'm not going to tell you that we came with a plan to do it. everywhere in america, what you do is-- we have already been
9:36 am
doing things with local farms in california, in maryland, in virginia, in florida, showing them how it's actually big problems that have very simple solutions: find the people that have the best contacts with those farmers, make shiewrpt farmers are able to communicate the access for their produce that they cannot sell to anybody, and you try to go to one farm and bring it directly to the people. we were doing it in queens, in corona. we were doing it it in brooklyn. we have been doing it in many cities. why? who should be coming with the solution? it's congress. and congress is good men and women on both parties that they're trying to come with the right solution. but they pass a bill and they don't have anybody executing on the ground, that's good intentions are only good intention. when we're trying to do is proving concept. guys, take a look what the what we're doing. now, let's pass the right bill,
9:37 am
let's put the right investment in the solution, and let's make sure that the different agencies-- u.s.d.a., fema, or little organizations like ours-- we can help the american people by transforming the problem into a solution. >> trevor: it's going to be a really interesting time moving forward. do you think we can see the restaurant business change? in l.a., for instance, a lot of restaurants are now selling their produce to their customers. so they're saying, "hey, we normally cook you a steak, but now we'll sell you a steak. we'll give you access to our suppliers." do you think what you're seeing from restaurant owners this could become a new world of restaurants? >> obviously, the restaurant industry somehow is going to change. but i do believe that we are going to be fighting this virus and things hopefully will go back to normal sooner, hopefully rather than later. what is going to happen is restaurants-- there are more than 800,000 restaurants in america, especially the small restaurant owners, the small
9:38 am
restaurant coalition, right now, wore all fighting in congress to make thiewr that p.p.p. is the right bill to help small restaurants in america. and what happens? is that restaurants, we are the d.n.a. of our communities. many restaurants across america are open for takeout, but it's not business. really, they are doing a service to the community. my restaurants are feeding homeless. many other restaurants across america are helping the communities. now we become grocery stores. all of a suddenly, you don't have to be in a long line at the supermarket. you can go to your local restaurant and buy asparagus, meat, and flour or even toilet paper. this is my solution. i don't want to see long lines in the food banks. we need to diversify the possibilities of people getting food, feed every corner across america, in every corner around the world. so restaurants, we are a parent of the solution. restaurants, we are here right now to feed the many. i hope as we move away from
9:39 am
this, i hope many restaurants will be able to reopen sooner rather than later. but right now, it's hard. but i love that my community, the community of chefs, the community of food people in america, we are becoming part of the solution. >> trevor: you know one thing i have always admired bu, chef, is that mow matter what disaster it is, no matter what you're experiencing with the people you're helping, you always seem to have an amazing energy about you. you're always pushing forward. you always seem motivated.

torch. how bored i'm getting. i'm cooking with my family every day. and i'm lucky because i know other people don't have the size of the house i enjoy, and a lot of people are in their homes in very small one-bedroom apartment. and when i cook with my family, it's to send a message to everybody, you know-- things are tough today, but let's laugh and let's hopefully dream that tomorrow will be better. the way i have is you sharing a moment of family time, laughing, and showing a cook like me, sometimes everybody thinks we're perfect, we can be also messy, things can go wrong. and for me, today, i cooked with my daughters these blow torch scrambled eggs. and let me tell you, i know everybody is going to tell me i'm crazy, but if i don't cook right now with a blow torch, when? now is the moment to take ourselves slightly less seriously because, you know, we should be thankful that actually we are going all together as we the people through this and
9:41 am
together, we will move away from this pandemic. so a little bit of laugh is what is going to get us all through this crazy time. >> trevor: i hope-- i hope that you're right, chef. i really do. thank you so much for coming back on the show. if anybody wants to help you what, can they do? how can people get you the help that you need to help other people out there who don't have meals? >> well, go to www.wck-- that's for world central kitchen-- dot org. there you will see what we did. follow us on twitter and instagram. why? because we're the type of organization that we love to show what we're doing, not to show off, but only because we are doing things in the real time. and you know one thing i want to share with you and your people? i was so happy today because i came to america 27 years ago. and i made the senator patrick
