New york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with Trevor Noah Trevor today marks exactly seven months since march 15th. That was the day when i first started doing this show from my apartment, and im not going to lie i did not think we would still be here in october. Aaahhh i hope somebodys been going to office to water my puppy. Sad truth is, the Global Pandemic is not only still with us but in many places are getting worse. Cases are rising so fast in europe paris imposed a curfew from 9 00 a. M. To 6 00 p. M. , which means frenchmen will have no time to see their secret families. Things arent looking at that great in america either where were seeing the start of a third wave which is really concerning. You never want to shout corona would be at the next board meeting. Could we stop calling it a wave . That sounds relaxing. Doesnt sound severe enough. How about a third tsunami, monsoon, bitch slap of corona . On a hopeful note, it is good to remember that its not the size of the wave that matters but its the motion of the what . Oh, the size does matter. Oh, so the motion doesnt doesnt affect it at all . Is were screwed. While things are starting to get worse again, the crazy thing is the Trump Administration is pretending that the crisis is over. Not only is the superspreader in chief running around the country breathing on everyone in a maga hat, but Rudy Giuliani trumps top lawyer and white house halloween decoration told a rally the other day that people dont die of this disease anymore, which is easy for him to say. Hes been dead twelve years. None of this is surprising. Trump and his people have been in denial about this virus from the beginning, or at least in public. Because now were finding out that while the rest of us are still performing for a normal year of movies and haircuts, trumps rich friends were getting a heads up about what is really about starting to happen. The New York Times is reporting tas virus was first started spreading last winter the white house briefsive briefings on the potential impact of the pandemic fueled a selloff among the wealthy. The president s aides appear to be giving wealthy party donors an Early Warning of a potentially impactful contagion at a time when President Trump was publicly insisting the threat was not existent. Elite traders had access from the administration that helped them gain financial advantage during a chaotic three days when Global Markets were teetering. Trevor wow. That is really disgusting. And it just goes to show you that if you want the real scoop on whats really going on, you have to Pay Attention to what wreath billionaires are doing. If the government says everything is fine but everyone on wall street builds spaceships, you might need to get your ass to another planet. Now i know some of you might think this is unfair oh, the billionaires got information everyone else could have used as well but, guys, clearly you dont understand trickle down economics. You see, the wealthiest 1 , they get preferential treatment, and then the rest of america gets valuable jobs, in the nursing and grave digging industries. This system works. Now, with three weeks to go until election day and millions of votes already cast, coronavirus remains the top issue for america. And any normal president would be laser focused on getting corona under control, helping businesses stay afloat, keeping schools open. But donald trump is not a normal president. So instead, hes focusing on this with weeks until the election and trailing in the polls, President Trump seized on a report in the New York Post published wednesday claiming files and emails were taken from a laptop that allegedly previous belonged to hunter biden. The report alleges that the former Vice President used his position to advance his sons business interests in ukraine and that both bidens were not truth about that relationship. The storys sourcing has also raised questions about its authenticity as the files were give on the post through an attorney for the president s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Twitter and facebook have limited the distribution of that hunter biden story and last night twitter appeared to suspend the twitter account of White House Press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany when she tried to share that story. Trevor damn you know a story is shady when facebook is saying whoa, whoa, whoa, maybe people shouldnt see this. Because usually people are posting how vaccines did 9 11 and facebook is, like, okay, wait, lets hear them out. Tell me more. Its insane trumps people are even going after biden by targeting his son. If these were my sons, i would maintain a strict kids are off limits policy. Look at them. They always look like theyve don some shit wrong. This should go without saying, but, obviously, people should be skeptical of anything where Rudy Giuliani is the source. Just as a rule in life, never trust a man who dine add dashed on his dentist halfway through the job. You just dont trust those people. Im not surprised Rudy Giuliani is trying to come up with something before the election. I get it. What i am disappointed by is that the Trump Campaign is using the same story. Really . Hacked russian emails again . Youre going to reuse the same october surprises last election . Its called an october surprise not an october, hey,noy this one its not a surprise if we can see it coming. A surprise has to be a surprise but ive got to say, i dont think this plan to get people caring about the burisma scandal is going to work because who even knows what burisma is. Trump himself cant even pronounce it. Eight month after his alleged meeting with the burmeesa executives, so these burmesia they say, pronounce it bureesia, a real Beautiful Company trevor oh, man, that was baifnl to watch. That was like watching trumps mouth trying to walk down a ramp. I mean, how does trump not know how to say burisma, when thats all hes talked about for years . This should concern people. If tony the tiger was like, frosted flakes, theyre grunk you would be, like, i hope this guys brain is okay, you okay, tony in yeah, im grooot after trump mispronounced a word he tells everybody thats how youre supposed to pronounce it which is the oldest playground play in the book. I totally meant to do that. Really . You wanted your opinion pants to split open . Yeah, thats how they say you do it on the internet. Enjoy while you can, people, because donald trump is the Michael Jordan of mispronouncing words. Were going to have to wait a whole other generation to get someone messing up words at this level. Even then, i still think trump will be the greatest of all time. I will be that old dude in the barbershop, yeah, this youngblood mispronounces shit all right but donald trump invented not making since. Watch him say burisma. You aint never seen anybody mispronounce burisma like that. While weve heard trump talk about burisma and hunter biden a million times before, hes still look for material. He seems to have stumbled on a previously unreported issue that might blow the leks open. President trump is leaning into another fake Conspiracy Theory to discredit former president barack obama. The Washington Post says President Trump used his twitter account to say Osama Bin Laden wasnt killed by u. S. Special forces in 2011. President trump says the administration killed Osama Bin Ladens double not the terrorist leader in the raid. The post says the president retweeted the allegation the Obama Administration deliberately shot down a helicopter with u. S. Navy seals as a part of an elaborate coverup. Trevor this is what im talking about none of this boring shit with Hunter Bidens email and burisma. President obama killed a Osama Bin Laden body double and seal team to cover it up and kept it quiet eight years . If thats true, im impressed because that sounds way harder to pull off than killing bin laden. The best part of the conspiracy is that at some point obama had to hold auditions for a bin laden body double to kill. Thank you for giving me this part so is this for a tv series . Actually its a one time thing. I also notice theres no script. Yeah, were just going to shoot a little bit. Well just shoot something, see what happens. Ill also say if trump loses this election twitter should hire him because they can find out what conspiracy to suspend based on what he retweets. Wow this tweet says obama started covid to destruct us from his wedding. Obama has a real decision to make in this election. I know coronavirus killed 215,000 people and is killing more every day. But just imagine how Many Americans could be killed once Osama Bin Laden teams up with hunter biden and burmamia. I think the choice is cheer. Time to take a quick break. Dont go away. After the break ill be chatting to Governor Cuomo and hell tell us what to get ready for if youre in new york. Stick around its great, its science. Important. One thing with me, the nice part, i went through it, now they say im immune. Maybe im immune. I dont know. Its particles of dust. Tiny stuff. Remember, when you catch it, you get better and then youre immune. The word immunity means something, having really a protective glow. Im immune, i could come down and start kissing everybody. Im immune i dont know for maybe a long time, a short time, it woul could be a life time. Is it a life time or less than that . We dont know yet.

Earlier today, i spoke with new york governor andrew cuomo. We talked about his new book about leading new york through the coronavirus pandemic and about learning from your mistakes. Check it out. Governor cuomo, welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Good to be back. How are you . Im doing a lot better now and i think a lot of new york is as well. It has been a trying time. The last time you were on the show, i mean, we were going through one of the most, i think, chaotic periods that most new yorkers have ever seen, figuring out how to fight the coronavirus. I think the question i have for you is how are you doing and, from your perspective, how is new york doing . Im doing much better than i was doing. I think were all doing better than we were doing. And, look, it was frightening. Theres no other word besides that. You know, we were right up on the edge. I think we were closer to the edge, trevor, than a lot of people realized. New yorkers, god bless them, went from the highest infection rate in the United States to the lowest. And that was all new yorkers. That was all social action. You want to talk about social action, that was it. And were much smarter for it, and we now do more testing than any state in the United States, and we are looking at this, trevor, on a microlevel that, frankly, no other state is analyzing this situation. Were tracking this virus on like a neighborhood level now and attacking it on a neighborhood level to make sure that we stay ahead of it. Trevor well, lets talk a little bit about that because, you know, we have seen, throughout the country, that any part of the government that seems to be fighting to prevent the spread of covid 19 invariably clashes up against some people or some communities who feel like their rights are being infringed upon. Youre currently in a dispute with the Orthodox Jewish community in new york where some of them have said we cant go to our church services, we cant practice our religion and we feel like were being targeted by the state. I know youve disagreed with that, but what exactly is going on there and as a leader how do you convince people that youre trying to do something for their good even though they feel they dont want that for themselves. Thats been the question from day one and its become the political divide from day one. Thats ill wear a mask, i wont wear a mask, right . The mask has become the symbol of that. Theres a school of thought that says this is not the problem you make it out to be, imt not worried, im not going to succumb to this and i dont want government telling me what i can do or telling me what i cant do, right. Theres a very real school of thought there. The alternative school is this is real, it can kill you, and what you do affects me, and its not about just you and life anymore. There is community, there is interconnection, there is responsibility to other people, and we have to act intelligently to protect ourselves. I now have a situation specifically where, when you do this all the testing, we can test we can target down literally through the block level where the cases are coming from and we have identified several small communities, and that happens to be an ultra Orthodox Jewish community that has not been following the rules for cultural reasons, religious reasons, and they have five times the infection rate that the state has. And weve imposed restrictions, and its not comfortable and, especially when you get involved in religious tensions, but it has nothing to do with religion. Its a Public Health law and i apply it all across the board equally. Ive had issues with fancy fundraisers in the hamptons, ive had issues with sweet 16 parties, with catholic gatherings, jewish gatherings, but its the same tension, people just deny the virus and they dont want government telling them what to do in any manner, shape or form, period. Trevor your book has come at a time when you have been looking back and even processing the present of whats going on. Youve led people and people appreciated your tone and tenor, people appreciated, i guess, your being vulnerable with them, your being forth coming with them. But there are some people who would say, oh, but Governor Cuomo, is this the time to celebrate with a book . Is what are you trying to achieve . I see the book as a cushion sign. I think, trevor, were at half time at best in this game, and im trying to say lets look at the first half and lets look at what happened because we have to play a whole second half. Trevor right. And we scrambled in the first half. We didnt win, but we didnt lose either, right. But we have a whole second half. The fall is coming, they told us the fall was coming, they said thefection rate was going to go up in the fall. This virus is not done with us, and these this attitude of complacency or the fatigue, covid fatigue, im tired of dealing with the virus, the virus isnt tired of dealing with you, and its alive and its well and its spreading and, more than anything, trevor, inform yourself. You know whos going to keep you safe . Youre going to keep yourself safe. You have all this political noise, all this political chaos. Just know the facts, get the information so you can keep yourself safe. And thats what the book is trying to do. Its trying to spur a factual conversation about how we get through this. Trevor dont go away because when we come back well have more of my interview with Governor Cuomo. Scoot over. Squeeze in. Pull up a chair.
