well, digital photographs don't lie. i admit that what you witnessed may have been some form of evolution. i'm glad you agree, dr. banjo. evolution set in motion by a wise and all-knowing creator-- you. oh, well, i don't know about all-knowing. and i admit it's possible, however unlikely, that some wise and all-knowing alien monster set evolution in motion here on earth. oh, oh! and the creator could also be a robot. (scoffs) then who built this so-called "creator robot"? some magical bearded robot in the sky? (mocking laughter) i guess that would be stupid. never mind. then it's settled. finally, a world in which i'm happy to raise my son. good, 'cause i'm sick of him. (all laughing) zoidberg: i'm serious. he's a terrible person. >> trevor: hey, everybody, welcome to the ep soafd the

daily social distancing shoarks i'm trevor noah and it has now been nine weeks of us staying inside to try and stop the spread of coronavirus. and here's your quarantine tich the day, you want a great way to keep yourself busy kids busy and make money, teach your kids how to sew face masks. and if you are thinking wait, isn't that just a sweat shop, don't be ridiculous strks a sweat home. anyway, on tonight's episode beach fashion in the age of corona, where people are getting wet at church and president obama takes trump to school. so let's get into it welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. >> trevor: every day our news feeds are bombarded by countless stories of bad coronavirus updates and stories about what

celebrities look like now. either way, st all de pressing. so to help us remember the brighter life, let's get on with our ongoing segment, a ray of sunshine. z let's kick it off with the catholic church. the place that was rock rocking rolls long before corona, they are known for sticking with tradition but in corona times even priests are learning to innovated. >> one priest in michigan may have found the most unique way to connect with paishners and social distant, photos posted by st. ambrose church shows the reference using a squirt gun for holy water. drivers pulled up to the church and are greeted by the reverend who is wearing a face mask, glovers and holding a bright green gun. he told the news for an article over the weekend he was a bit concerned how the vatican might react when photos began circulating widely on the internet but says quote i haven't heard anything yet. >> trevor: hold up.

water gun, that might finally be the thing that gets the churches numbers to go back up again. and a great way for catholic priests to explain why they have a bunch of kid's toys in their basement. the only way this could shall more fun is if they did a water balloon because you could watch it in slow motion and seat exact moments where your sins are absolved. >> i'm saved! well, this also opens the catholic church to much cooler scenes in movies. normally the catholic priest is tim i had and all they can do is pray but now when they need a demon they can be like say hello to my little friend. squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt. moving on, summer is almost here but this year it will bring a whole new set of challenges. black people have to figure out how to cook out while social distancing. white people have to go into the sun starting completely from scratch and for kids every camp is now computer camp. but there is good news for beach

gers who want to practice social distancing. and they can do it in style. >> the growing use of face masks has inspired a new summer fashion friend, the trikini, add recent fugue say fashion designer in the south bay, she is carrying her custom di kinis with matching face mask. her business is donating part of the trikini proceeds to team ub rube i con, a group of military veterans that deliver meals to seniors. >> trevor: finally, the trikini. outfit perfect for going to the beach and then robbing a bank. seriously, i love that even during a pandemic, humanity company still find a way to post-- just to be as safe as possible,-- you flow what i bet the more trikinis we see, the more people will start getting turned on by chins. because think about it, like st always the hidden part that people think are hot. like the trikini becomes a thing, at the ends of the day

someone will take off their trikini and their partner will be laying in bed, oh, yeah, baby, show me that an teria manned i believe. oh my god. and finally germany, a country that only has an outside voice. ger plans have found a way for people to join live music that is safe for both the performer and the audience. one-on-one concerts with a sij musician playing for a sij audience member n parks, museums and airport terminals, so if you love music and long eye contact, there is four. although this only works for classical music. i mean i enjoy hip-hop but a solo rap concert feels like a guy is just yelling at you. >> yoarks, everybody, put your hands in the air. now everybody, scream, ahh. i think this germany thing is a great idea. the only problem is will classical music, you can never tell when st over. i mean if you go with a crowd,

you can always know because the old people start clapping because they know the songs but when st one-on-one it is going to be hella confusing. ♪ if. ♪ ♪ (applause). ♪ >> trevor: all right, that's it for the ray of sunshine. let's get straight to the headlines. first up, some major news about that thing we have all been searching for, a video on pornhub we haven't watched yet. >> a coronavirus vaccine. >> this morning there are promising signs in an early stage vaccine trial. the u.s.-based bio tek company moderna has announced interim phase one result nbs a trial conducted with the national institutes of health, participates in the human clinical trial have developed

antibodies against the virus, that is exactly what a vaccine is supposed to do. >> yeah, and without many side effects so far, that's really good news and that's why you see the stock market, the dow here up more than 700 points because this could potentially be game-changing news. >> trevor: theamplet the results of major coronavirus vaccine trial are out and they are promising. because some participates in the trial got antibodies and there were no major side effects. let's be honest, is a major relief. because don't forget, they're fast tracking this vaccine so the scientists could have come outlining the results are in and the good flus is all three of bruce's are coronavirus neglect tivment even though this vl early stages the stock market went crazy with everyone trying to invest in this company. and that gave me an idea. anyone who owns a company right now who is strilging, just announce that your product can

also maybe help fight coronavirus and you are in the money, baby. billa bong could van sane bon could have an ad if our sane bones can't kill you what chance does coronavirus have while most are waiting for a vaccine, some people think we might noot not even need one. people like eric trumplet telephone in hills 100th trimester and president's fourth favorite sofnlt according to baby voldemort coronavirus is actually a hoax that will go away on its own and the only reason the media is even talking about it is to steal the white house from his dad. >> biden loves. this imiedern can't go on stage without making some horrible blirnd. even from his basement is he making awful gaffes every day, his campaign is thrilled he is not going out. there and they think they are taking away frump's greatest tool which is to go into anarena and fill it with 50,000 people every single time, right. so they l and you watch, they will milk it every day between now and november 3-rd and guess what, after november 3rd t coronavirus will imagine complee all of a sudden go away and

disappear and everybody will be able to reopen. >> trevor: here's something i don't get. if coronavirus saul a giant scam, then why is he rick trump doing this interview from his house. a house where, by the way, it looks like he was in the middle of doing a seance, what is up with this candles. spirits, spirits, wherever you may be, make my father proud of me. now according to eric, this f whole coronavirus thing say conspiracy to prevent his dads from doing big campaign rallies, i'm sorry, this makes no sense. disoon ald trump d-- donald trump is the president, so if he thinks coronavirus saul just a bunch of hypothen go and do a rally. trump is the most powerful least powerful person in the world. i want to do a rally but i can't, because the doctors will get mad at me. and by the way, we all know coronavirus is not a democratic plot. because if corona was a democrat, it would have found a way to lose weeks ago.

speaking of donald trump, the president isn't spending all his time not dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. is he also keeping bugsee with other important parts of his job. undermining democracy. >> overnight there was another shakeup in the administration, the state department nmenter general leave linick is being fired, fourth ig to be let go in recent weeks house foreign affairs committee eliot engel said the watchdog opened an investigation into mike pompeo and a keusdz the president of an unlawful act of retaliation. >> linick had launched an investigation into secretary of state mike pompeo and whether, according to a congressional aide pompeii and his wife had misused a political appointee for personal tagsk. >> its ig was looking into whether pompeo made the a member of his staff walk his dog, pick up his dry cleaning and make reservations for the secretary and his wife. >> trevor: wow. president trump has fired his

fourth inspector general in just the last few weeks. what makes this firing extra suspicious is that this inspector general was in the middle of investigating mike pompeo for using his official staff to do unofficial things. such as walk his dog and do his laundry. i'm sorry, but pompeo had to know he was going to get caught. sending people to pick up his dry cleaning? i mean he is the only person in washington whose shirts have a four food wide for neck hole, what did he think was going to happen. once again trump has fired somebody who is supposed to be providing oversite on his administration which still makes no sense. this would be like if a toddler could fire their own babysitter. >> i'm sorry kimberly. but let it go it this is trash. >> all right, have i to go get my pizza delivery downstairs, when we come back i will tell yu barack obama was involved in a drive-by. don't go anywhere. don't eat it, i'm

the last thing you should have to worry about right now is having enough toilet paper. please know we're working around the clock to get you more charmin. stay safe.

hcaramel, peanuts, ands chocolate into reese's take5? what a minute...how do we do it? i'm tired of being left off company emails! can someone tell me how we do it!? not sorry! reese's. [son] mom! yeah... [son] i fell. okay there's bandages in the cabinet. [son] i'm bleeding. grab two. sheba. what cats want.

welcome back to the daily social distancing show. let's talk about commencement addresses. that's how the that time the year when everyone puts on a dress and are told there say future for the planet. for much of america this was graduation weekend. and so prominent celebrities and politicians decided to hold a virtual commencement speech. around the commencement speaker everybody was talking about was barack obama. 44th president of the united states and world's slowest kenyan, although his address turned out to be less of a graduation speech and more the world's largest subtweet. >> just as you have been looking forward to proms and senior nights, graduation ceremonies, and let's face it, a whole bunch of parties, the world is turned upside down by a global pandemic. this pandemic is fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in comurch know whatter in's doing. a lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge, doing what feels good, what is

convenient what sez that is how little kids think. unfortunately, a lot of so called grown ups including some with fancy titles and important jobs still think that way. which is why things are so screwed up. >> trevor: you know, it's funny how obama hides his insults, almost like he doesn't want to get in trouble with michelle for going low. now i agree with michelle, that we're going to go high. so i won't say anything about your mom, but i will however point out that the person who gave birth to you has-- that could possibly obscure large bodies of life. stnt crazy how obama never even had to mention trump by name. like that's how you know you have screwed up when someone could just say people have no idea what they are doing, and everyone is like that's trump, that is trump, even trump is like that's me, totally me. but as subtle as his criticism has been. ing it started a fire at fox news. >> it is supposed to be motivational, positive t is

supposed to be about the graduates. this was not its time for what he is doing. >> by the way, barack obama not all that articulate. off the teleprompter he can be inspiring organize a speech, but impromptu with the ums and awes had, it is possible. >> st very bad for the next president in a cries toys kritd size a sitting president or administration. >> it is so unseemly for a former president to take the virtual commencement ceremony for a series of historically black colleges and universities and turn it into a political drive-by shooting. >> trevor: yes, what obama did there was a political drive-by shooting. he really crypt walked all over america's norms. i mean this was not the time for a rap battle because there is donald trump's movie. and obama is talking loudly during it. what a black day in american history. look, no denying obama went out of his way to disis trump in his speech but i find a scenario that fox news is going to spend all day being offended about how

a former president doesn't have decorum when the current president literally interrupted a pandemic briefing to remind everybody how he boned models. >> and i'm not saying like everyone says lit lally, i'm literally using literally literally. obama wasn't the only politician who gave a nebraska commencement address, nebraska senator ben sasse gave an address of his own and something tells me is he not handling quarantine billion. >> congratulations, this is a big moment, not on graduating high school but on making the journey down the stairs from your bedroom to the living room and putting on something frol slightly more formal than sweat pants. congratulations parent, teachers and coaches, not that there is really any meaningful distinction among those categories at this point, if you are a parent, you are a teacher, thanks a lot china. we are all teachers now. i know i'm not supposed to say this. but you are not missing out on that much because hon evesly nobody, and by nosh, i mean

nobody remembers anything about their high school graduation. in fact a lot of us spint a lot of our times trying to forget as much about high school as we can and in fact there are a bunch of people who make a whole bunch of money like just trying to help other people forget high school. they are called psychologists. >> trevor: you know, anyone can deliver a speech that inspires people, but it takes a real lead tore deliver a commencement speech that makes you wish you had booked ted cruz. and if this is his commencement speech, i would hate to hear his version of a birthday song. >> this could be your last one. ♪ this could be your last one. ♪ this is the you might not make it. >> trevor: so this weekend everyone from president obama to senatorree year in nebraska released their commencement address but the biggest news,ing it saved the commencement address for today, i'm talking about covid-19.

>> so class of 2020, let me leave you with three lessons that changed my life. firstly, let the haters fuel your grind, when i was starting out china acted like i didn't exist. the britan's prime minister treated me like a jokes and the u.s. president said i was just another flu. instead of losing hope i remembered what i learned from taylor swift and i shook it off. i kept grinding. thanks to the haters, i have traveled the world, i met all sorgts of celebrities and even made it to the white house. the second virus to do so right after stephen miller. secondly, remember that you don't get anywhere alone. i could have ended up like so many other diseases, mers, sars, cooties, but i got to where i am thankings to the angels in my life. the people whose missed science, protestors who won't war mask and anyone who couldn't go three week was getting a layer cut. you guys are my heroes.

and finally, embrace the setbacks. when i fail in places like south korea and new zealand because they had a plan, a lot of people said my best days are behind me. and yeah, i was bummed but i knew that if i found the countries with the right leadership for me, i might just get a second shopt. so students, when people try to flaten your curve, just keep climbing. and remember, people don't need to believe in you, you just need to believe in yourself and the sky is the limit. but not too high because you-- congrats class of 2020, rorke on, you guys are on fleek, i will see you out there. >> trevor: when we come back jaboukie young white will look at how the mega rich are dealing at how the mega rich are dealing with corona. [anthony] hey mama, what's up? [mama] i'm confused. confused about what, everything ok? yeah, i only see one price on my phone bill. that doesn't sound confusing mama.

a lot hasn't changed, at all. ♪ welcome back to the daily social distancing show, we're all handling coronavirus in our own way but some are having a better time of it than

others. for more on this we dwhrek in with jaboukie young-white. >> thank you, trevor. this pandemic really has people think being different groups of people, from our essential workers to health-care providers. yes, clap it up, give it up but what about affluent americans, this frect fas rich people just as much as anyone else but thank god rich people have one of the best antibodyies money. >> the wealth' escaping charges by chartedderring private jet, airlifting their entire families to a holiday home to sit it out. >> second and third homes in west palm beach and nantucket, cape cod, martha's vineyard and hamptons, certain grocery stores have been ransacked by the number of people flooding in. >> a rural county in idaho is suddenly became a hot spot because st a place where a lot of wealthy people have second homes. >> the outbreak ask leading to class warfare. >> it is so good for them,

that's awesome. look, i'm not hating. i'm not, i'm just saying, if you have enough money to go to your second, sthird, fourth home at least let me quarantine in your first home. i should be laying by a pool instead of laying in front of the bathed room-- bathroom door while my roommate takes an hour-long shower. dan, are you done yet? dan, your dated can't smell you over zoom. dan! dan! >> spending your quarantine in your vacation home is just for poor rich people. mega rich people k. >> the luxury hotel company in switzerland sawferring a covid-19 hotel stay that can include a 500 coronavirus are-- high end clients called

say theg wanted to wait out the shelter in place order somewhere upscale and say they prefer to have medical care come to them. >> consierge doctors who kate tore rich people and celebrities have been selling rpgz-- to patients and families even when they weren't showing symptoms. >> only 1 percent of the population of florida has been tested for coronavirus, but 100% of the residents of fisher island off miami have gotten the antibody test. now the residents purchased 1800 test kits for the island's 800 families as well as for their housekeepers. the island is only accessible by boat and has an average income of 2.5 million. >> first of all, why are rich people still a allowed to have private islands. did we learn nothing from jeffrey ep stiern. we hear money buys you access whether st testing, to government relief or an ebay auction of that peach. >> i was so close to getting

that peach, but the state of if georgia, sneaked in lafs minute because they wanted to make it their mascot. but honestly, having an island full of tests is only if are you mega rich, if are you ultra rich the coronavirus is just like anything nels your life, [bleep]. >> billionaire-- is float on the waters off the caribbean on a 590 million superyacht. >> fears about the coronavirus are boosting the market for luxurious underground bunkerrers offering the rich and famous a place to ride out a pandemic with stock piled food, blast proof doors, escape hell koarpts. wow. >> oh my god. they got a luxury bunker with an escape helicopter. i didn't even know that was a type of helicopter. i thought that helicopters only came in sightseeing, emergency and bamp loretterdates.

and look, i don't care how nice they are. luxury and bunkerrer should not be next to each other that is like chic jor-- which actually might be kind of love, okay, okay, so yeah, the rich are living a different quarantine life than us, sure. but i'm not mad because they're finally figuring out that they need us more than we need them. they can't turn-- without their house keerps driver, their cooks, their nannies. they can't even vacuum. they don't even know how to use the dishwasher and all you have to do is put the thingy in it and close it. just look at the real housewives who tried to clean their own toilet and by clean, i mean contaminate. >> second toilet, mom. you got this. >> my third toilet. >> boom. >> she's wiping down the toilet with the same brush she used to wash the bowl. corona is the last infection she needs to worry about. she looks like donald trump

trying to give a woman a real orgasm, clearly you have not done this before. i think we can all learn an important lesson. a lot of people are seeing how well the a fluent-- they are saying were telephone we're over 19 percent. z we'll eat the rich. >> but remember, before we can eat the rich,-- that is nasty. stz thank you so much, gentleman bowkee, when we come back i'll be talking to former secretary of state madeleine albright about diplomacy in eye global pandemic. stick around. stick around. for over 75 years people ...with geico... ohhh...sorry!. director's voice: here we go. from the top. and action for over 75 years people have saved money with gecko so.... director's voice: cut it! ...what...what did i say? gecko? i said gecko? aw...

>> trevor: welcome back to the daily social distancing show. earlier today i spoke with mad lierng albright, the first woman to serve as secretary of stait with discussed her new book hell and other destinations and the

global pandemic. check it out madame secretary, welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> i'm delighted to be with you, thank forgs asking me. >> trevor: of course, any time, are you always welcome as a guest, before we get floo the interview, i know that you have one of the most impressive broach collections and they all mean something. so i am assuming that v on your lapel stands for something. >> because i have spent the war in england, world war two and my father broadcast for bbc, i listened to become bbc every night. and they with kettle drum was do the first five notes of beethoven's fifth which in morse code is v for victory. >> trevor: as somebody who grew up and lived through a war, you had to do things like, you had to wear masks as a child. you had government imposed lockdowns that you and your family had to adhere to. was in a different sentiments than there is now in terms of

listening to the government and doing what is best for the population at large? >> well, i was a little girl and i did what i was told. but i really do think that what was similar. and i would love to talk about in a bit, is that the people had no control over where the bombs fell. they only had control over their behavior. and i think people did do what they were told to do. we spent the night in the cellar of the apartment building that we lived in. my father when we moved out of london was an air raid warden. and you know, they had blackouts. and everything. and i think people did what they were told to do. and their behavior made all the difference. >> trevor: do you think there st a reason we've seen such a shift in how people don't trust their governments now? because you know, the american president for instance said trump has said that he sees this like wartime and yet his own

administration gives conflicting instructions on what to do. its whole houses that coronavirus instructions and yet he's tweeting out that people should go out and open america. so you know, how do you think its american public should deal with aye situation like this when the leader doesn't seem to have a concise point of view? >> i think that is the whole problem. because in england church hill had a view. and the government was trusted freferg that i can tell, from my reading also. i think now there is complete confusion, mainly because the president keeps changing his mind. and so i think that he is the one that has contributed to what is already a difficult situation by changing what he has been saying and saying he hasn't changed it. so leadership makes all the difference. there is no question. >> trevor: its news that we are all reading through today is a story of another inspector general who was fired by the

administration, and you know, lawmakers are have aing it could have something to do with saudi arabia. others are say stg because the flpter general was vecting mike pompeo to use his staff to do nonofficial work doesn'tees like walking hicks dog or getting his laundry. were you as secretary of state, tell me first of all what that position is supposed to do. what do you think is going wrong. and secondly, why if it is a big deal that the inspector generals are getting fired at the rate that they are. >> what i think is interesting is the inspector generals are in the departments to make sure that regulations and laws are carried out. they are inspector generals. and there are variety of things that come up in terms of about people and personnel matters and regulations. so that is not unusual. what is unusual is to have them fired. and then trying to figure out over what. and for from what i have read in the papers, it does, it is

peculiar in terms of some of the-- i mean hi security people. they're not supposed to be doing errands. they're there to worry about the security of the secretary of state. and then i think that firing not only him but i think there are three others in other departments, the same thing. so people that are supposed to be z the protectors of the rule of taw are the ones that are become asked to leave. which makes one suspicious over how the administration sees the rule of law. >> trevor: it also feels like the trump administration has gotten fairly comfortable dismissing people who are tasked with overseeing them as an administration. is that something that americans should worry about, or is that merely just america's system working the way it is supposed to work and maybe people are not used to it. >> no, i do think that it is something that people need to worry about if it is repeated, you know, in terms of how

public-- people that work in the government and i believe this from having worked in it a number of times both on the ledge slaift and executive side, are a good, hardworking, loyal american citizens who want to do their job. and they do it for different administrations. and so to have the administration be suspicious of everybody and think that they are not fulfilling their obligations to the constitution is peculiar to say the least. no, this is very strange, i think. >> trevor: your book has been really interesting because you have lived quite the life. hell and other destinations is the title. why that tights el? i mean it feels like we're in hell, so are you telling us about other destinations we can go to. >> so i will till, i chose the title because it has something to do with the most famous statement i ever made, was that there is a special place in hell for women without don't help

each other. and that statement was so famous it ended up on a starbucks cup. and i did think that there were other destinations that women could help each other to achieve. i wrote the book before they, the coronavirus crieses, and really i didn't focus on the fact that it was going to be so absolutely clear you know, and so valid at the moment. because i do think we see a horrible things go going on, a type of hell when we need to look for other destinations. so the fact that the tight sell so germain say little bit of a surprise. >> trevor: americans are asking questions every day, when will america be ready for a woman as president it seems like this election it won't happen, and people are wondering if it will ever happen in the future. it is interesting that you talk about women supporting other women. because i wonder, do you think that women have a special role to play in supporting each other

when it comes to getting into elected office? >> well, i do think that it is important for women to support each other. but i would never recommend that a woman vote for a woman that she disagreed with in terms of elected office. >> trevor: uh-huh. >> i think that there are some that i certainly wouldn't vote for. but i do think that it help fses there is more than one woman in the room. but what is so interesting now is that the countries that have managed to have some kind of control over the virus are the countries ta run by women. that is what is so fascinating. you know, like the prime minister of new zealand and then tie want. and fin land and germany, and denmark and norway. and i think there are certain qualities about how women view their role in terms of-- by the way, i think women are really good at multitasking, because that is what we have to do. which means that we have peripheral vision, that we do

care about how decisions are made. that we actually, if you want to put it in these terms. we don't want to divide our children so that one group hates the other. and there are a variety of aspects in terms of how women come to power which is mostly by trying to be helpful rather than kind of having a lot of ego activity. so i do think, but as to the question, america likes to be first in everything. we are certainly not the first in terms of having a woman leader. and i would hope very much at some point we would. >> trevor: it feels like global diplomacy though is about to take a bit of a knock. just reading today about the, you know, the group of countries coming together to discuss the global pandemic right now. there is clearly a rift in that there are many countries sump as australia who are saying they want to get to the heart of the pandemic where did the virus come from and how did it spread so quickly.

people intimating that they are pointing fingers at china. china has come out and their representative has said this is not the time to be vecting the source of the virus and it feels like the world is being set up forp a moment where quite a few countries are going to be looking to china for answers about what happen the in wuhan and how the virus spread around the world. how would you handle the situation, because on the one hand people want to hold a country accountable if they have done something that has hurt other countries. on the other hand it seems everybody is terrified of china. how do you balance in out in dealing with them but also dealing with them as a partner. >> what you try to do in diplomacy and to solve problems, not create them. and i do think that one of the issues here is what do we do now. because as i said earlier we're all interconnected on this. and the virus knows no borders. at some point there has to be an investigation of what happens, there is no question about that. but what we need to do now is figure out ways that we can work

together, an example that have i used is supposing that the chinese were the ones that came up with the vaccine first. would we say we don't want it? and so sand the last thing we want to do is to have a so called cold war with the chinese. a diplomat has to be able to do two things or at least two things simultaneously. how do find the areas where we can cooperate. which clearly climate change someone of them, we are now dealing with the virus and where we have to compete. and the kinds of things that the chinese are doing in the south china sea, claiming certificate tore and undermining a variety of laws that we have had on navigational freedom, that is bad. and we have to be able to figure out how to compete on that score. and not get ourselves into a position where we are going to have a cold war with the chinese. but it is a very difficult relationship and it is only made worse now by kind of having it be part of the-- politicizing it

and having it be part of our elections. >> trevor: thank you for sharing your time with us today. and i hope i get to see you not through a lens the next time we speak. >> but i'm really glad to be with you because the last time we saw each other was at the national democratic institute where we were giving the democracy award because humor is an important part of di plom seevment and what you do every night makes a huge difference and i'm so glad that we met and you invited me to come and be on the show. >> trevor: thank you so much. thank you so much, madame sefnlgt i appreciated you. >> thawp. >> trevor: well, that's our sow for tonight. but before we go please remember that the covid pandemic has taken a serious toll on many people's mental health. here in the u.s. the disaster distress health line is trying to address this crisis. they've got counselors trained to meet the mental health needs of this unique situation. and if you are able to help, then all you need to do is donate whatever you can. if you would like to support new yorkers in crisis, then please do flait to nyc well which is
