Before we get into the latest headlines, let's kick it off with some good
news in our brand-new segment, Ray of Sunshine.
All
right, first up is news out of India. So many people in India are quarantined in
their homes that, for the first time in a long time, you can actually see the
real color of the sky. And this has happened in some of the most heavily
polluted areas of New Delhi, where there was just smog every single day.
And one
of the images that's been going viral is this one that came out of New Delhi,
which shows the before and after of 1.3 billion people staying at home. And
that's amazing, right? Just look at how beautiful New Delhi is without any
pollution. It looks like the entire city went on Queer Eye. "You've been hiding
yourself under so many layers of smog. You've got to let yourself shine, girl."
I mean, goddamn, those are some blue skies. I bet India probably even forgot
there was a time when skies weren't gray.
It's the same way America forgot there
was a time when presidents weren't orange. Yeah. They used to be brown. And it's
not just the environment. With humans locked away, animals are also starting to
flourish.
Here's some good news coming out of Hong Kong. A zoo, which has been
trying unsuccessfully to get its pandas to mate for ten years, reported that
finally, yesterday, the pandas spontaneously started having sex. And the
researchers say they think it's because nobody is at the zoo. And I'm like,
"Yeah, I don't need to be a researcher to know that that's what's happening."
Of
course the pandas are having sex now that nobody's there. How do you think you
would react if, every day, hundreds of people came to your bedroom window, like,
"Come on! Have sex! Do it! "Come on. Have sex. Do it. Do-- Put it in!" So I
don't blame the pandas. I mean, like, even when I have one person watching me
during sex, I'm like, "Hey, can you... "can you look the other way? I'm-I'm just
getting-- "Yeah, I'm just real self-conscious-- "Would you mind looking-- Look
the other way. It's-it's a lot of pressure."
This just makes you realize that,
when we're telling our grandkids about coronavirus years from now, the animals
are gonna be telling a completely different story. "Grandma, tell us about the
coronavirus." "Oh, little ones, "it was a wonderful time. "There were no humans,
and your grandpa was smashing me like there was no tomorrow." So, good news for
those pandas. Although the bad news is, now that nobody's watching, the monkeys
have all stopped having sex.
Those guys are freaky. Now, please, don't get me
wrong. Corona's also bringing out some of the best in humanity. Lifting spirits
during this tough time is a real superhero. Batman is hitting the streets of San
Diego. REPORTER: By day, Chris Banner runs a lawn service, helping cut weeds and
fire lines on people's property. But when duty calls... -♪ ♪ -...he suits up.
He's got the Batsuit and he's got the wheels, a replica 1989 Batmobile that he
and a friend built. Normally, Chris gets paid to make appearances at birthday
parties and other special occasions. But while the pandemic goes on, he decided
to just hit the road and make people smile.
Aw! That is such a sweet idea, man.
That guy's a hero. I just hope he never started talking like Batman, 'cause that
would've freaked people out. "Yeah, it's Batman!" : "That's right,
kids. It's me." "Whoa. Is that coronavirus? Get away, dude! Get away!" "No, this
is-- this is just how I..." "Well, this is not the time. Just use your normal
voice, man. What's wrong with you?" "Yeah, you're right. I
should..." "Okay, go back to the other voice. That one's not cool."
All right,
that's it for the good news. Let's catch up with some headlines. Right now, the
worldwide number of confirmed coronavirus cases has now steadily climbed to 1.3
million people. And while some countries are seeing progress, other countries
are preparing for the worst.
In fact, after facing criticism for his response to
the pandemic, Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has now declared a state of emergency.
And in Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved to an intensive care
unit after his coronavirus symptoms worsened. So now, because the UK doesn't
have a line of succession for when the prime minister is out of commission,
Johnson has deputized his foreign secretary to fill in for him.
And I'm not
gonna lie. I thank God that, in America, the president doesn't just get to pick
whoever he wants to take over for him. It's good that there's a line of
succession, 'cause who knows who Donald Trump would pick. "While I'm in the
hospital, "Doc Antle can take over for me. "He's like a Dr. Fauci but he
(bleep)s." Oh, and speaking of President Trump, while the U.S. is bracing for an
explosion of new coronavirus infections, the White House is also bracing for
more backlash.
You see, they haven't been listening to coronavirus warnings that
they've been receiving for months. Just today, Axios reported that Peter
Navarro, Trump's trade advisor, wrote a memo back in January where he warned
very accurately that if America didn't take immediate action to stop the
coronavirus, it would break out in the United States and it would kill hundreds
of thousands of people.
And on top of that, he also predicted that it would
destroy the economy. So Trump got warnings from the HHS, got warnings from his
intelligence agencies and even got warnings from his own economic advisors, and
he didn't heed any of those warnings.
Basically, if there's ever a warning,
Trump just will ignore it. Yeah. Coronavirus. Check engine light. I bet even
choking hazards. Half of Mike Pence's job is just pulling Legos out of Trump's
throat. "It was a yellow piece, so I thought it was a piece of cheese." "I know,
Mr. President. Easy mistake to make, sir." Now, it turns out Trump has been
ignoring so many warnings that the Daily Show investigation team managed to get
some of Donald Trump's voice mails, and... it turns out he was even
ignoring warnings from coronavirus itself.
Now, the big story today is voting. It's how America picks its leaders
and its dancers with the stars. And in the time of coronavirus, voting has gone
from being a boring civic duty to a recipe for disaster. Crowds of people packed
into a tight space together, sharing pens, elderly poll workers. It's a
coronavirus all-you-can-eat buffet.
And that's all in addition to the usual
dangers of voting, you know, like getting your hand stuck in the ballot scanner.
That's, like, a thing that happens for real. And it's because of that corona
risk that many states around the country have decided to postpone their primary
elections until later in the year.
But Wisconsin is not one of those states.
Because today, they held their primary elections as scheduled, which, as you can
imagine, is a big problem. Because not only were Wisconsinites forced to choose
between their health and civic duty, but thanks to so many poll workers dropping
out, the number of voting sites were slashed across the state. Yeah, especially
in urban areas. For example, the number of polling locations in Milwaukee went
from the usual 180 all the way down to just five. Five polling sites for a city
of 600,000 people. And I'm sorry, guys. Those numbers just don't make sense.
600,000 people divided by five? That's like...
Like, we-we all know what that
number is. The point is, it's unfair to the voters. And when Wisconsin opened
its polling locations this morning, you could immediately tell that having the
election today was a really bad idea.
CHUCK TODD: We turn now to Wisconsin,
where despite the state's stay-at-home order, the primary is underway today. And
after a day of chaos and confusion surrounding the vote, folks are now casting
their ballots in person, despite fears of spreading coronavirus. And already,
there have been long lines at polling places, raising concerns about social
distancing.
MAN: There are people lined up around the side of the high school,
around the corner, through the parking lot, and then into the road and sidewalk
that extends beyond that school, as well. Okay, seriously, this is just
ridiculous.
People standing around the block, huge numbers waiting to vote.
During coronavirus? This is ridiculous! There are only two reasons people should
be waiting in line for hours around a block. Either Baby Yoda is doing a
meet-and-greet, or you're buying a pair of sneakers that are too nice to ever
wear.
And so, you just put them in the back of your closet, and you brag about
having them, but nobody ever knows if it's true or not. That's what I do with my
Jordan 5s. Clearly, this is not the ideal way to run an election, especially
during a pandemic. So, the obvious question is, why didn't Wisconsin delay their
primary like all the other states did?
Well, you see, it turns out, Wisconsin's
Democratic governor, Tony Evers, tried to delay the primary, and he tried to
make it easier for people to vote by mail. But he was blocked by the Republican
legislature. Now that doesn't make sense. Right? Voting by mail might sound like
a weird idea, but every state already allows it in some form. And not only that.
Five states conduct their elections entirely by mail. So many experts right now
are arguing that the most responsible thing to do during coronavirus is just
have everybody mail in their votes.
Oh, and for my younger viewers, mail is when
you have, like, a message, and you send it to someone on a... on a piece of
paper. It's, um... it's like a TikTok, but in an envelope. Yeah. Oh, and an
envelope is like an app, but you open it physically, like, with your hands.
So,
the big question is, why are many Republicans in Wisconsin and around the
country resisting efforts to make it easier to vote? Well, I mean, they're still
giving their usual talking point about trying to prevent voter fraud. But
recently, prominent Republican leaders have been slipping up and telling the
truth.
MAN: Donald Trump has said -that if we voted by mail...
-WOMAN: Yeah.
MAN: ...Republicans would never win again. TRUMP: The things they had in there
were crazy. Uh, they had things, uh, levels of voting that if you ever agreed to
it, you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again. The speaker of
the house in the state of Georgia has said the same thing-- that you don't...
they don't want more voter participation.
Okay, this is so insane, man. These
Republicans are afraid that if more people get access to voting, they're going
to lose elections. And so, instead of just coming up with policies that are more
popular, they'd rather just make it harder to vote?
Basically, these Republicans
believe in the free market for everything, except themselves. I mean, think
about it. If someone was getting bad scores at the Olympics, what would they do?
Huh? They'd probably try and work harder and improve their routine. Yeah? But if
Republicans were in that situation, they would just be like, "Why are you
wasting your time? "Just steal the judge's scorecards. Problem solved." I mean,
for years people have suspected it, but now Republicans are just saying it out
loud. "
We don't want more people to vote, because then we think we're gonna
lose." Yeah. I don't know why they're saying it out loud. I mean, maybe it's
coronavirus. Maybe it's being quarantined indoors. You lock people up inside for
long enough, and the truth comes out. Oh, I'll tell you what I really think of
your cooking, Melinda!
So, the battle around voting is shaping up to be one that
will not only affect the primaries in the months to come, but also, potentially,
the general election in November. Because coronavirus might go away in the
summer, but, just like pumpkin spice, it could make a comeback in the fall. And
if some Republicans have their way with how all Americans can or cannot vote,
then, best believe, those panda bears in Hong Kong won't be the only ones
getting screwed.
Well, that's our show for today. Before we go, though, please
remember this is going to be a harrowing week for doctors, nurses and first
responders around the country. And you can help them protect themselves while
they save lives. We need to help them get masks, gloves and gowns that they
need.
So please go to Thrive Global's #FirstRespondersFirst and donate whatever
you can to help get PPE to the people saving our lives. And if you want to help
in New York City specifically, please then go to the New York Mayor's Fund
COVID-19 response, and you can help them out. Stay safe out there. Wash your
hands, remember to wipe from front to back, not side to side, and I'll see you
again tomorrow.
