Look at us together look at us together me here with all my closest friends. Welcome to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. cheers and applause it is friday the friday audience. The friday excitement. The friday electricity. You cannot fake that it has been a huge week in the democratic primary. There were some big president ial dropouts this week, including former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg, seen here hunting down the staffer who told him hed look more relatable in that shirt. laughter bloomberg spent a lot of money for very few votes, but he did leave a strong impression on one vital nonvoting demographic kids who saw his ads on youtube. One 13yearold interviewed by reporters estimates he has seen at least hundreds of bloombergs ads while watching gaming tutorials. Thats right Michael Bloomberg put ads on gaming tutorials. His tips collect and spend billions of coins, then immediately die on the first level. laughter applause and it made an impression. Ill get through it. And bloombergs ads worked. One eightyearolds mom said her son was inspired by bloomberg. All of a sudden, he was very passionate about it. Mikes going to do all these things. Hes not going to build the wall. And after super tuesday, there are a lot of things mikes not going to do. But one person still able to do some things is Bernie Sanders. Up until now, sanders has been the only candidate who has not released an obama ad. But after his lessthansuper tuesday, Bernie Sanders decided to embrace the former president. Bernie is someone who has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes great authenticity, great passion and is fearless. Bernie served on the Veterans Committee and got bills done. I think people are ready for a call to action. They want honest leadership who cares about them. Eyill find. Approve this message. Stephen wow. He is straight up stealing bidens whole identity. laughter whats next . as bernie im Bernie Sanders, and i have a message for the american people. No more malarkey. I was arrested on the way to see nelson mandela, and i once fought a marginalized African American child named corn pop. Come on horsefeathers crackerjack this is what you rubes like, right . Come on now, heres the rub bernie cherrypicked his quotes for that aanext. For example, the feel the bern quote came from a speech in which obama was endorsing hillary clinton. Bernies faced a lot of criticism for this ad, but he doesnt seem to be backing down. Take a look at what he just released just today. Tonight id like to talk about my brother, Bernie Sanders, a. K. A. , my best friend. This is an extraordinary man. Hes revolutionizing basketball. Bernie sanders killed osama bin laden. I. So in love where you Bernie Sanders. Bernie sanders for president. applause stephen that could help. That could help. That could push him over the top. This week, we found out that trumps getting his own popup ads in the sky, because the president s Reelection Campaign is planning to fly a blimp above swing states. Wow. A giant, slowmoving, disaster waiting to happen is getting his own blimp laughter of course, he might applause he might. Of course, he might be using the blimp just to fly away from us diseaseriddled humans, because were all worried about the coronavirus. Theres a lot of anxiety. And ill tell you all about it in tonights goin viral. Im dating the mucinex guy. Stephen were slowly learning more details about this thing. For instance, chinese scientists have identified two strains of the coronavirus original and extra crispy. One of the big pieces of advice to combat coronavirus is do not touch your face. But for one Public Health official in california, that was easier said than done. Today start working on not touching your face because one main way viruses spread is when you touch yourwn mouth, noe, orize. laughter laughter . Stephen yes yes, please dont touch your. Mouth. Nose. Or eyes. My colleague, dr. Robinson, can explain further. laughter applause cheers and applause the coronavirus is also having a huge effect on education. Including in the u. S. Erare now School Closures in 22 countries on three continents, adding up to 290. 5 Million Students worldwide. So many schools are offering online classes, including online physical education, where students follow along as an instructor demonstrates pushups onscreen. And to get the full gym class experience, they also send bullies to your house to throw balledup wet paper towels at you while you try to pee. laughter but not everyones acing teleschool. Around the world, grandparents are pitching in for childcare. But when it comes to helping the kids with the online classes, the grandparents do not always know the technology. as grandparent lets see here. It says here to use the onetime passcode to access the learning portal. okay. Huh. You know what, pumpkin . How about we do something we both like taking our pudding cups outside and yelling at the birds. Damn blue jays here in the u. S. , the majority of the cases seem to be centered around seattle. I guess it was a bad time for starbucks to testmarket their new coffeeug laughter delicious, delicious, deeps hot. Despite this risk, the organizers of next weekends emerald city comicon in seattle say it will go on as scheduled. Bringing thousands of nerds together in the middle of a viral outbreak . Forget dr. Who. I wanna know dr. Why . laughter comicons not the only venue you can still attend during the outbreak, because according to a medical expert, compared to other communal areas, the gym is not riskier. Cool i cant wait to definitely continue going to the gym to pump my irons and squat my thrusts. I love the grunting and the smells. laughter come on, Health Experts stop telling us to avoid fun places like concerts and sporting events but saying, gyms all clear next theyre going to say, stay away from pizza, but feel free to swing by the broccoli store. laughter now some businesses no one asked for this. applause im glad youre enjoying this. Im so glad, makes me happy, smiling little boy over there. Some businesses are being extra careful, particularly tech companies. Twitter has told all of its employees to work at home because of the coronavirus. Yes, important twitter does not want to create a harmful, toxic environment. In real life. Even tinder is trying to help fight coronavirus. The dating app now has a popup warning about the dangers of the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease. I believe we have a screenshot of that warning. Covid19 is highly contagious. Please wash your hands thoroughly before you and a stranger smash in this p. F. Changs bathroom. laughter lettuce wrap, baby. Jon ewwww ewwww noe. Stephen p. F. Chang . I like p. F. Chang. Amazon is also taking precautions. Theyve told their seattle employees to work from home all month. And if you work on amazon prime, you get sent home the next day. And theres one amazon employee who cant selfquarantine, and shes starting to get anxious about the virus. Alexa, how tall is Mount Everest . Who cares .

Ladies and gentlemen, my first guest is the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of natural history, the host of cosmos, and hes my favorite astrophysicist. Please welcome Neil Degrasse tyson s applause applause stephen good to see you again. Thank you. But first stephen nice to have you back. Fess up how many astrophysicists do you know if im your favorite . I dont even know what that means . Stephen i dont want to know any others, neal. Do you understand. I dont remember my old girlfriends. I dont remember the astrophysicists before i met you. Neal spoiler alert youre a scientist. Indeed. Stephen and legally i am required to ask you your thoughts about the coronavirus. Oh. Stephen and i understand youre not a virologist, youre not an immunologist, youre not an epidemiologist, but i suspect im an astrophysicist, jim. Stephen but i suspect you have an opinion . A point of view, i would say. Im broadly scientifically literate, but what i was saying of this virus, i think were in the middle of a massive experiment worldwide. And that is stephen were the guinea pigs . Maybe. The experiment is will people listen to scientists . laughter applause in this case, referring to medical professionals stephen say anthony fauci. For example. Are you washing your hands . And are you taking these precautions . These are warnings offered by scientist s. Stephen for our own god. For our own good. It seems to me if we all listened and all paid attention dont freak out. Dont live a life lived in fear is a life half lived. So you dont want to applause im just so it would be interesting if we all paid attention to what scientists say. Maybe the coronavirus will just blow on by, with a minimum of cases. And then we kicked its ass for obeying the recommendations of stoiftz how to minimize your chances of getting it. That would be its an interesting experiment were in the middle of. Stephen i hope we win . laughter i hope science wins. I hope acknowledge knowledge comes out on top. Yes. Stephen last week it was announced that scientists have just discovered, observed, the largest explosion since the big bang. What was it . Where was it . And why was it . So we didnt see the explosion. We saw the hole the gaping hole left over by it. Stephen so theres theres a void, or something. 14 million lightyears away is a cluster of galaxies, and the medium in which these galaxies move, theres a very hot gas. Most clusters have this hot gas. You can detect it on xrays. Its glowing so hot, you see it on expraiz. They observe this gas in a galaxy cluster and it was a gaping hole all the way down to the monster galaxy in the center. And no one understood it at first. And we realized some time in the past there was an explosion from the black hole in the center of that galaxy and blew out a hole through this cluster. Stephen how big are we talking . laughter i understand. I understand that when were talking on supergalactic scales, the numbers dont mean anything. Its like, how much money did Mike Bloomberg waste . Its too big a number for us to understand. Hoe big are we talking here . Many, many diameters of our entire galaxy across the hole that came out of this galaxy cluster. But heres a fun point here. You can ask how big was that explosion . And if nothing else was ever that big, then your adjectives are challenged by this. Stephen what do you mean . Okay, for example, we had horses, right . Stephen right, yeah, yeah. Horse and buggy gli understand what a horse is. You dont have to act it out. The big thing with the hooves. So then we invented cars and we say, how do we know how powerful the car engine is . We measure it in horses, horse power. To this day, nasa will still report the power of rockets in horse power. Becae noatterowtrintoget twill , okay. laughter so it just doesnt make any sense. Its just theyre not horses lined up ins here. Thats not how that stephen i got it. So other news closer to home how far away was this one, by the way . Million lightyears. Stephen so a good disance. Safe away. Stephen also news from our solar system which im rather excited about theres a minimoon out there. The second ever disorder. You dont like this question. Why dont you like this question . Its a rock. Stephen its a minimoon. They could have called it a minirock. Would have been more accurate. Stephen its orbiting us, right . So is space junk. Plus we have a whole real moon still vying for our attention and we Pay Attention to a rock that just happened to wander by. Stephen come on everybodys looking for a new mo apause wresting hat the orbital pathways in the solar system are such that occasionally we can capture a wayward rock. Stephen this was drifting by and got whipped in. In a trajectory that enabled it most that go by go by unscathed but this one we happened to cairpt of. Stephen will it degrade and come in . Im not sure. I havent studied the mechanics of it. Its possible, but i think unlikely. Of all the things to worry about in the world today, dont worry about that. Stephen im not worried. Theres also suppose to be something about the size of Mount Everest whipping by in april. That would be bald. Like two and a half miles wide, Something Like that. Five or six miles across. The dinosaur the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs was the size of Mount Everest, so you dont want one of those coming down. Stephen so should i be make might go peace with a god who may or may not be there . No, this is not going to hit us. Stephen how do you know this . Because we have physics. Im not making this up. Stephen why did i learn about this rock if its not going to hint us. Its called a mass. Stephen okay. But theyre telling me this is going to come its called click bait. Stephen that i understand. That i understand. applause because im just thinking if this thing is going to come by if it was gog hit us on april 22, im like why am i purelling my hands . It doesnt matter. April 22, earth day. You would hope it wouldnt hit on to me that would be embarrassing. Here we are trying to protect earth and nature kills earth. Stephen this is the 50th, right . A nice round year for earth day. Stephen this 50th seeing how were treating the earth, should we celebrate earth day or just apologize to the earth this time around . We should do both. First apologize and then tell earth how youre going to make things better. The first earth day was in 1970. You know why it was 1970 . Why wasnt it in 1960 or 1965 or 1980 . Stephen i have a feel yore about to tell me. Were actively going to be walking on the moon by 1970, with this spacecraft, the saturn 5. All of us didnt make it to the moon. Just a little upper part where the astronauts are. You need that much fuel to pull that off. So then we go to the noon explore the moon, and we turn around and discover earth for the first time. Stephen nonetheless entirety. Earth, earth. applause stephen not enough guests to bring visual aids. Thank you very much. Im just saying, earth. And there it was alone in the vacuum dark of space. And you see it not as the social studies classroom globe showed you. There were no colorcoded countries on it. All you saw was blue oceans and dry land and clouds. And at that moment, everyone changed. Everybody said, oh, my gosh. Pollution is not just this river behind my house or this lake. It is global. We have to think about earth as a planet. And, you know, what happened in 1970 . Earth day was founded. The the the Environmental Protection agency was voted into into existence. By the way, by a republican president. And what else happened . Over those years that we were walking on the moon, through 1973, leaded gas was banned. What else happened . The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was founded to take a look at the climate on earth. No one before had thought of connecting the oceans and the clouds before. And theyre both in the same title of that agency. A comprehensive clean air act, clean water act all that happened while we were going to the moon. And people ask applause and people ask, why are we going to space . You know why you go to space . A cosmic perspective can descend upon you in such a way that you are realigned with your own survival and the survival of others in such a way that maybe youre going to do something about it. And on the 50th anniversary of that, and we need to keep doing it. applause stephen i agree. Can you neil. Can you run for presiden
