You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at, that's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News,

listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. I'm Trevor Noah. It is Wednesday, August 19th. And here's your quarantine tip of the day. If you're still bumping into those people who try to force you to shake hands with them,

here's what you should do. When they reach out to shake your hand, you go in for the kiss. They'll never make that mistake again. I know, because some guy did it to me. I try to shake his Convention, and we're going to tell you why Joe Biden had a party in a children's library, why this man is holding a plate of calumari, and why Kamala Harris isn't really black. So let's do this people. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancen Show. From Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world, the Daily Social Distancing Show presents.

The Democratic National Convention, electing Somewhere in the world, the Daily Social Distancing Show presents. The Democratic National Convention, electing America's first black president's friend. Last night was the halfway point of the all-virtual Democratic National Convention, and the night began with the convention's keynote address. Now, traditionally, the keynote is given by one speaker who goes on to either become president or the grandpa you hide from company. But this year, the keynote was delivered by 17 people, which actually gave exposure to a broader range of the party's rising stars, whilst also capitalizing on everyone's

deep fondness for getting trapped on an endless face-time call. And it wasn't just the keynote that that that that that the keynote that that the keynote that the keynote that the keynote that that the keynote that the keynote the keynote the keynote that that the keynote that the keynote the keynote thoed the keynote the keynote the keynote the keynote th... the keynote. the keynote. the keynote. thoneneneneneneneot keynote tho. thoneneneneot is th. the keynote is the keynote is the keynote is the keynote is the keynote is the keynote is the keynote the keynote the keynote the keynote the keynote the keynote th.. the keynote th. th. th. th. the keynote the keynote th. th. the keynote th. the keynote the keynote the keynote the keynote th. the keynote the keynote the keynote th. the keynote th. the keynote the keynote tho. the. the. the. the. the party's rising stars, whilst also capitalizing on everyone's deep fondness for getting trapped on an endless face-time call. And it wasn't just the keynote that was switched up for this new online format. The traditional roll call also saw a major change, and in my opinion, it was for the better. Because normally, when each state announces which candidate will be receiving their delegates, it's just a bunch of people shouting in a the the their delegates, it's just a bunch of people shouting in an arena while wearing the world's dumbest hats.

But this year, they mixed things up, and they did roll call from a picturesque or meaningful location in each state. And I got to say, I thought this was a much more interesting way to do it. I mean, you got to see people in front of cows or on the beach or locked outside their house. And while many the people people people people people people people people people their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their locked outside their house. And while many of the people in the videos were party activists, some recognizable faces popped up too, like Amy Clovershaw, representing Minnesota from the banks of the Mississippi River, or Mayor Pete Budajezegge, beaming in live from men-in-black headquarters. And my favorite part, by far, was watching everyone try and hype up their state.

Ohio cast 20 votes for Senator Bernie Sanders and 134 votes for the next president, Joe Biden. Oh, I. O. Tennessee became the 36 and deciding state to ratify the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Tennessee cast 23 votes for Bernie Sanders and 50 votes for our next president of the United States, Mr. Joseph R. Biden.

Our state appetizer, Kalamari, is available in all 50 states. The Kalamari comeback state of Rhode Island casts one vote for Bernie Sanders and 34 votes for the next president, Joe Biden. Okay, first of all, it is so awesome that Rhode Island has a state appetizer. I mean, technically New York has one too, but it's that liquid that drips off a building into your mouth by accident. Yeah, I never look up to see where it comes from, because as long as you don't know, there's still a chance that it's just water, man, please let it be water. But the thing about the Rhode Island guy is he could totally be making up this Kalamari thing and nobody knows enough about Rhode Island to call him on it.

I mean, he could have said, Rhode Island is the only state ti. And I would have been like, theyl, th th th th th th th th thinin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thr-a, th. th. th. thi, is, is, is, is, is thr-a, is thi, is thi, is thi, is th. th. th, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th. th. th. th. th. thi, is thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thr-a. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. thi. thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, th cool. I didn't know that. But in general, I loved everything about this roll call. It was like state tinder. Although it also proves America has no business being one country. I mean you've got Tennessee proudly mentioning their role in women's suffrage and then Rhode Island being like, we have bomb ass advertisers. Now the whole night wasn't just a fascinating tour of American seafood. There were also speeches from Jill Biden, Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, and and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th. And, th. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiole, thiole, thiole, thioled, thiole, thi, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, tod, tod, state, tod, tod, state, tod, tod, state, tod, tod, tod, tod, t, tod, tod, tod, tod, today, today, today, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, tour of American seafood. There were also speeches from Jill Biden, Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, and a quick appearance from AOC. In a time when millions of people in the United States are looking for deep systemic solutions to our crises of mass evictions, unemployment, and lack of health care, in the spirit of the pueblo and out of a love for all people.

I hereby second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for President of the United States of America. Okay, now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking AOC snubbed Joe Biden at his own convention. And I get why you might think that. Because a bunch of media outlets, who should know better, try to make it seemthink that, because a bunch of media outlets who should know better try to make it seem like that's what went down. But the truth is that this was exactly what was supposed to happen.

By the rules of the Democratic Party, any candidate who wins enough delegates, like Bernie Sanders did, gets nominated at the convention as a way to remind them that they lost in front of the entire country. But look, I think th th th think I think I think I think I think I think I th think I think I think I think I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the. the the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, thin. And, the. And, the. And, thean. And, thean. And, thean. And, thean. And, thean. And, thean. And, the. And, the. And, they lost in front of the entire country. But look, I think it makes sense that a lot of people didn't know the rules about the Democratic convention. And if you didn't know the rules and you saw what AOC did, you would be confused. I mean, that happens with any situation. Imagine if you had never been to a wedding before, right? And then on your wedding day, the priest went through the ritual the ritual the ritual the ritual the ritual the ritual the ritual the ritual, you, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the ritual, the priest, the priest, and the priest, and, and, the priest, the priest, and the priest, and the priest, and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to, the to, to, to, the the.e.e. the the the thracea, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thro also get confused with that. Does anyone here have any reason why these two should not be married? Whoa, whoa, whoa, should not be married. Are you trying to sabotage my shit?

Sir, it's just a tradition. A tradition or some bullshit. I'm not paying the deposit. This guy's try to ask people for a reason. I mean, you know her mama's got a reason. people talking about reasons. But the night's big moment was when Joe Biden officially became the Democratic nominee. And for reasons I don't understand, the DNC also made it the weirdest moment. Well, thank you very, very much. Thank you all. It means the world of me and my family. And I'll see you on Thursday. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What the hell was that? The music, the basement library What the hell was that? The music, the basement library, the cheap party decorations? I thought the Democrats had millions of dollars for this. Why did it feel like the grand opening of a used Kia dealership? Like did they blow all their money on the Kalamari? And by the way, I don't know whose idea this was, but you can't be jumping out from behind Joe Biden like that. The man is 77 years old. You're trying to send him to the White House, not the hospital. I mean, I get that they had to adapt because of Corona.

But there must be a middle ground between packed arena and basement school library. A school library isn't where you accept a presidential nomination. It's where you go to have lunch when you don't have any friends. Regardless, Joe Biden is now officially the Democratic nominee. But the convention is only half over, because tonight, the big speakers were Barack Obama and Kamela Harris, the first ever black woman to be nominated for VP. Although, according to conservative media, she might not be black enough. Some have challenged her racial identity, and criticized her for identifying as black when her parents are Jamaican and Indian.

We talk about African American. Her father is from Jamaica. He isn't from Africa. He's from Jamaica. So she's not really an American black. Kamla Harris is not an African American. If you dare raise that, you're attacked, but the truth is she's not really an American black. Kamala Harris is not an African American. If you dare raise that, you're attacked. But the truth is she's not.

She's not African American. She doesn't have slave blood. She's not down for the struggle. She's constantly talking how she went to. In historically black college, she is adopting Oakland as her hometown, even though she grew up from the age of seven to the age of 18 in Canada. Kamala Harris descended from the largest slave owner, slave owner in Jamaica. Kamala Harris seems to be descended less from the legacy of, let's say Frederick Douglas, than she is from the legacy of the plantation itself.

Wow. That is fascinating. And I know a lot of people haven't heard that before, D'Nash. Okay, first of all, being partly descended from a slave owner is one of the blackest things that can happen to you. In fact, you know who was also the descendant of a slave owner? Frederick Douglas. Yeah. So the guy you just tried to use it in an example of someone who is super black is also, by your metric, not black. Look, ma'am, you can dissect Kamala Harris's heritage however you want, but to say she's

not black? Ask yourself this question. Is she black enough to get kicked out of a restaurant back in the day in the Jim Crow South? Huh? Would she have been black enough to get redlined? Is she black enough to be kept out of a white school as a little, thrown. Then she's black. People want to be like, oh, you're not black, you're not black.

There's a little simple test here. You know how you know you're black? If you're dating a white person, and before you meet their parents for the first time, they start a sentence with, hey, listen, so before we head inside, you're black. And what's especially ironic about these people trying to to to to to exclude to exclude the people their. from blackness is that it's the reverse of what white America did for centuries defining as many people as black as possible whether they wanted it or not. Color and who qualifies as black, who qualifies as white has historically been policed not by those who were the targets of oppression but by those who

set up the system of oppression. In America blackness was defined by that auction block. You were black if youness was defined by that auction block. You were black if you could be put on that auction block and sold as property. Following the abolition of slavery, some Americans feared a rise in interracial relationships. So states began passing laws to make sure that any child with even one drop of negro would be classified as negro

and denied the rights of white people. This became known as the one drop rule. The one drop rule was an attempt to save the so-called purity of the white race. By 1925, nearly every state had a form of the one drop rule on their books. All you need is one person, five generations back, who is black. And that is enough to make you black. Seriously, one black person in your family has is enough to make you black. Seriously, one black person in your family has the power to make you black, but all the white people in your family can't

make you white? If anything, I feel like this was also racist to white people. I mean, imagine that. They were basically saying 10 white sperm is not as powerful as one black sperm. That is an insult to white sperm and I'm offended on behalf of all my white brothers and sisters. Basically, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, these, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. One, th. One, th. One, th. One, th. One, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, theei. thei. thea. theauuiii. thea. thea. thea. thea, the. One, the, the, that is an insult to white sperm and I'm offended on behalf of all my white brothers and sisters. Basically, these people were so afraid of black people that if you had so much as one drop of black blood, they wanted nothing to do with you. The same way if you find one tiny bug in your salad, then the whole thing is ruined. Either have to throw it away or give it to Stephen Miller. And here's the thing.

This definition of blackness was never meant to accurately portray the black experience or many shades of blackness itself. It was made with the singular intention of finding the most efficient way to exclude as many people as possible from whiteness. So yes, it is disgusting, but these people are now trying to disqualify Kamala Harris from being black. But I will say this, Kamala, don't worry. This might also be a right of passage on the road to greatness.

Because you see, it turns out there's another black person who also wasn't black enough. Rupert Murdoch suggested President Obama isn't a real black president. He hasn't actually had the African-American experience. In fact, he's not descended from slaves on either side of his family. Obama did not grow up in poverty. His grandmother, the typical white woman, worked in a bank. He wasn't down with the struggle. He doesn't have slave blood.

This guy grows up in Hawaii with a Kansas mother. his life is different. He doesn't suffer in many of the ways that blacks growing up in this country have suffered. He is not the descendant of blacks who suffered these Jim Crow laws, who suffered through slavery. He is not the son, the grandson, the great-grandson of American blacks who went through the American experience. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. So these people agree that the American black experience is about struggle, suffering and oppression. But when black people are protesting that oppression in the streets, suddenly they're like, why are you guys protesting?

You people got your Marvel movie? You guys remember Wakanda forever? I don't know why you guys are complaining. And that's one of the things I've always found particularly interesting. Your blackness as a person is never questioned in failure, but in success, it gets put under the microscope. Like, when a black person steals something, or when they sell crack, or when they shoot another black person, I've never heard anybody on fockewoes,

thold on, hold on, this might not be black on crime. Maybe it's half Indian on black crime, or maybe his great-grandfather was a white man crime on crime. But as soon as blackness is being considered for excellence and perfection, what is often being considered the domain of whiteness, that's when white people start questioning someone's black credentials. I mean, look at Obama. He spent his entire life as a black man, even had the fro. But as soon as there was a chance that he was going to become the first black president, all of a sudden it was, well, he's not like black, black,

I mean, if anything, he was more shaped by his white mother from Kansas. So if anything, America's getting its first tam president. But then a funny thing happened. Once Obama got into that black-ass homeboy who's destroying the country. Didn't hear a lot about his white mom in Kansas then. So I guess, that's the silver lining for you, Kamala. Fox News may be questioning your blackness now, but best believe the second you step foot into that White House with Joe Biden and you make a few decisions they don't like, trust me, you'll be black as can be. We... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. And, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, the, the, the the the the thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean. And, thin, the. like, trust me, you'll be black as can be. We have to take a quick break, but when we come back, we're going to a pool party in Wuhan.

Wait, like Wuhan, Wuhan. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. We've been covering the Democratic National Convention all week long.

But did you know there's other stuff happening in the world too? Yeah. And we're going to cover it in another installment of our ongoing segment, unconventional news. Let's begin in Wuhan China, home of the worst-reviewed farmers market on Yelp. It has been eight months since the coronavirus began spreading in Wuhan, but now, things are back to normal there, and the people have decided it's time to celebrate. We're going to turn out of these stunning images out of Wuhan China. Take a look, a massive concert and pool party right there in the virus's initial epicenter. City hasn't report out out their May, but you can see there are thousands of

partygoers there at a water park for an electronic music festival packed close together, no masks. You'll remember, Wuhan was on lockdown for three months, one of the strictest in the world. Okay, look, I mean, I understand that Wuhan has had no cases in months, so on the one hand, sure, enjoy your party. But on the other hand, the rest of the world does have a shitload of coronavirus cases, and Wuhan is the place that started it. I mean, I'm just saying, man, if your house catches fire, and then the whole town burns down, it's okay if you rebuild first. I can't hate you for that, but you don't throw a house party while we're all still sleeping on our front lawns. I mean, maybe it's

just me, but it feels a little tasteless to have a pool party in the ground zero of a lethal pandemic. What they're going to do next? They're going to hire a Corona mascot? Hey, kids, it's me, Corona. And I'm coming for your th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th. th. th. thi, it's thi, it's that, it's that, it's thi, it's that, it's tho, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's th. th. th. th. th. th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th. th. th, it's th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that that that the that thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo will say, though, at least this gives us something to look forward to. You know, I can't wait for the time when you don't have to worry about Corona anymore. And it's safe to go out and catch all the normal diseases that you catch at water parks. Because I don't care what anybody says. A pool is just a giant bathtub that's also a toilet. But let's move on to some political news. With all the focus on the presidential race, it is easy to forget that a lot of the energy that drives political parties comes from down-ballot races. And by that measure, a brand new nominee for a congressional race in Florida tells you a lot about the direction of the GOP.

The very latest election results from the live desk right now. A far right candidate won the Republican primary for the district that represents Marlago. Laura Lumer was banned from Uber and Lyft after refusing to ride with a Muslim driver and she handcuffed herself to Twitter's headquarters after being banned from the site for referring to Congresswoman Ilan Omar as being pro-Sharia law. This is somebody who has called herself a proud Islamophob. And President Donald Trump actually tweeted congratulating Laura Lumer. You're seeing it right there, saying, great going, Laura, you have a great chance against a Pelosi puppet. You know, one thing that never changes is if you do something awful, Trump will congratulate you.

You could save a kid from an active volcano, and Trump will congratulate the volcano. That volcano is so big, so beautiful, so much magma, maybe even harder than my daughter. I don't know. Think about it. Luma is so bad that she has been banned from, and this is real, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Uber,

Lyft, PayPal, Venmo, Go Fund Me, Medium, CPAC, and Shakespeare in the park. Like, I'm sorry. How do you get banned from Shakespeare in the park? I mean, sure, I did, but that's only because I didn't know I wasn't allowed to ad lib. To be or to do something else, you know? It's a tough question. I'm going to have to think about that one. And also, this person was banned from PayPal.

Guys, that site is like 90% Nigerian scammers. And even they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were like they were like they were like they were like they And even they were like, this user does not reflect our values of cheating the elderly out of their savings by pretending to be grandchildren who need bail money. It is not who we are. It is crazy to think that this person could one day be in Congress. And she's not even allowed on most apps. Can you imagine not being able to use Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter? It actually sounds kind of nice. Should I be racist?

In other news, do you guys remember when the big question on everyone's mind was, did Donald Trump collude with Russia during the 2016 campaign? Remember? It was all anyone talked about? And then Trump let 170,000 Americans die on his watch, and we moved on to that? Well, it turns out, the US Senate had not completely forgotten about it. And yesterday, they dropped a bombshell report. A new Senate report says members of the 2016 Trump campaign were eager to accept help from Russia, some of it directed personally by Vladimir Putin.

The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee, releasing its final report, declaring the 2016 Trump campaign had repeated contacts with Russian operatives. On Paul Manifort, the former Trump campaign co-chairman, it goes further than the Mueller report saying he was in close touch with a Russian intelligence officer who became a business partner. It says Manifort posed a grave counterintelligence threat. The report says he may even have been connected to Russia's hacking and leaking of Hillary Clinton campaign emails. An operation it says was actually directed by Russian President Putin. The three-year investigation also found that President Trump may have misled Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

One of the other headlines is that this committee actually made criminal referrals in June of last year in 2019 to federal prosecutors on the list of referrals Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr. That's right. The Republican-led, Republican-led Senate committee referred Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner, and Don Jr. for criminal charges for lying under oath. And this is good news for Eric. When you're the least favorite child, you get left out of all the family traditions, even

the criminal ones. For basically, this Senate investigation found that the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia during the 2016 election posed a threat to national security. And the interesting thing about this report is that it it it it is that it it is that it is that it's that it's that it's thiii-it is thi-ininininininininininininininininininin, thi-ci-ci-c. thi-c. their their their their their thi-c, thi-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c, thi-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c, thi, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, th. th, th, th, th, thi-c, thi-c, thi-c. thi-c. thi-c. thi-c. thi-c. thi-c. thi-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-li. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi-c. thi-c. thi-c. the 2016 election posed a threat to national security. And the interesting thing about this report is that it's bipartisan, with both parties agreeing on the facts. But each party came to a different conclusion about whether the facts meant that there was no collusion. And I will say, it's always weird to see the same set of facts

that differently. It kind of reminds me of how two different guys will have different stories about how their fight went down. Oh man, I punched that guy in the face and he was down on the ground, lights out, man. So dude, I told that guy, get out of my face. And then I took. Yeah, they exist. Stick around. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.

This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like, none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look,

starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. So, we are most of the way through the Democratic Convention right now. And if you've been watching, you might have noticed that many of the speakers are closer to Golden Girls than Gossip Girls. But there are some new delegates who are changing that look. Djibouki Young White has more. The Democratic National Convention.

It's basically Comic-Con for old people. In 2016, the average superdelegate was 60 years old, which makes sense when the candidates duking it out at pushing 100. But 18-year-old D.N.C. Delegate Joseph Mullen thinks it's time for a change. That's why he founded the Young Delegate's Coalition. Of what, the 5-20-somethings left in the Democratic Party? So there are actually 220 young delegates as part of our slack group that we have. What? Yeah, there are hundreds of zoomers who want to go to the DNC. This DNC, what are they thinking?

You all already got into college. Why are you patting your resume like this? It's not about patting my resume for me, it's about making sure that we have a future because climate change is very much at threat. I mean, if there are people, like Donald Trump, who feel like they have enough knowledge,

enough experience to run for a position like president, then why shouldn't I run for a position in my community like this? We need to take back our party and our country. It's so inspiring talking to you guys. I didn't start caring about politics until I cashed my first daily show check. Maybe it's the fact that I haven't been to a club in six months, but this club seems like something that I might want to join. So what are the qualifications for being a young delegate? Do you have to like 100 gecks? A young delegate is a delegate who's under the age of 35

and the minimum age is 18. You let in 30-somethings? I just feel like no one who has ever said the phrase, like, I burned you at Make CD qualifies as young, like. I was super shocked coming into the chat and saw 35 year olds. I was like, what is going on? It was terrifying. This was Lilina in the chat seeing. That was me. That's the exact face I made.

Hold up, if these kids think 35-year-olds are decrepit old mummies, then what are they doing at Grandpa Joe's Celebration of Life? And back in those days, you show how things have changed. One of the things you had to use, if you use pomade in your hair, you had to wear a baby cap. Okay, what is he saying? Well, help me understand.

Just, what is so great about Biden?

When you have someone who doesn't understand the diversity of opinion between different black people versus someone who thinks that all black immigrants come from shit-whole countries, I would rather try and educate this person because the things that he said pale in comparison to the things that I've heard Donald Trump say. Are you worried that Biden won't be able to hear your concerns? I'm a little bit concerned, but we have to lift our voices up in order to have them heard. No, I meant like literally hear them because he's 90 years old. Besides voting for their candidate, delegates are expected to rubber stamp the DNC platform,

but not this year. I'm voting no on the platform because Medicare for All is not included. Wow. When I was talking to some of my other Kansas delegates, they're like, as a Biden delegate, I should know my place and should vote for the platform. But we're not sworn to any campaign. We are sworn to represent the voices and the needs of our constituents. Okay, yes. Snaps. But why is the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform the platform But why is the platform so broken to begin with?

These political young Sheldons have a few ideas. Because there's no youth representation in making the platform of the party, we had a resolution come up that said corporate lobbyists should not serve as members of the DNC. But it was odd when it was voted down. And the majority of people making speeches against rules to limit lobbyists were lobbyists. You got me fired up. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

You got me fired up. I'm about to send a to whom it may concern email. These people got me fucked up. There are measures that are taken so that they don't release the names of the people who are on the DNC platform committee. We did some research and we've gained access to a list of all the folks on the DNC platform committee where they're from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from their their their their. their. their their. their their their their their their their their. their their their. their their to be. to be. to be. tooes. to be. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too. to. too. toe. toe. toe. their their their their their their their their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the toe. too. tooe. too. too. to. to. to a list of all the folks on the DNC platform committee where they're from, what their previous offices were.

they got me fused up. I'm gonna put on my carpal tunnel brace. Let's go. That's my platform. And just like Joe Biden, watch out for these future presidents coming up from behind. I have a lot of friends that don't want to vote or they want to vote third party and I always tell them that you have to stay, you have to take up space and that's really how you're going to change the party. Wow, you have so much faith in the world.

Thank you so much, Chibuki. When we come back, we'll be speaking to a woman who's doing so many things right now. I don't even know how she has time for this interview.

Her name is Eva Longoria. Don't go away. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, A Second Look

on Apple Podcasts, starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. So earlier today, I spoke with Eva Longoria, who is not only an award-winning actor, producer, and director, but she is also an activist, committed to lifting up the Latino community and women in Hollywood. Eva Longoria, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.

How are you? I'm so happy to speak with you. I see you every day, but it's really nice to be able to speak with you. Well, you can speak to the TV. I don't think anybody can speak. And then you can just say things to me and then we're to speak to speak to speak to speak to speak to speak, and to speak, and to say to say to say the to say, and the think, and thin, and the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.......... I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, the t t the t t t t t the t t the the the the the the the the the the the the the we're speaking to each other. Many of times I've yelled at you. The TV. Welcome to the show. Let's jump straight into it.

I mean, you made news this week being part of history, hosting the first virtual democratic national convention. Everyone from random people on Twitter to Senator Marco Rubio, you know, random people tweeted out, oh, what is Eva Longoria doing here? She has no idea how to connect with everyday, real-life Americans. How do you respond to that? Are you not a real-life American? What does that even mean to you?

All right, I know. You know, I've gotten this my entire life, because I've been a political activist for 25 years. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toe. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, I, I, I've, I've, I've thi, I've thi, I've, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, the their, their, thi. thi. thi, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I'm, I've, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm thi. I'm thi. thi. thi. toeananananananananananananananananananananananvvvvvva. I'm toeoliolioliolomea. thi. th I've been a political activist for 25 years. I mean, most of my adult life I've been involved in my civic duty, which I think everybody should. It's like if you told a dentist, oh shut up and do teeth. Like, wait, no, you can't have an opinion because you're a dentist or an actor or a farm worker. I totally understand my, my position of privilege today and the work that I've done to get to where I'm at. But I was on student loans. I had Pell Grants to get to college. I worked at Wendy's most of my young life to pay for college. I had student debt. I mean, it was not until my mid-30s that I figured life out. And I approached hosting the first night of the DNC as a ninth generation

Texan, as the daughter of a veteran, as the daughter of a teacher, and as a wife and as a mom and as an American and a patriot and I and sometimes I hate that one party is hijack the word patriot because it actually belongs to everybody anybody who loves this country is a patriot that that's who I was on Monday night. Some people would argue that you were the perfect face to kick off the DNC with because Joe Biden hasn't been his strongest with Latino voters. You know, I think it was Julian Castro who said that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party

have to do a better job of reaching out to Latino voters and showing them that they have their best interests at heart. Where do you think the Democratic Party could do a better job of reaching out to the Latino community at large? Wow, you know, it's if assume Latinos are a monolithic group and we're not. We're very faction. Just generational, generationally, and I think that there's an assumption that we vote democratically. And both parties shouldn't take the Latino vote for granted. I think that both parties need to do a better job at really understanding Latino issues or American issues.

The number one issue Latinos care about is the economy. Number one issue Americans care about, the economy. People make the assumption, you know, we only care about immigration or we only care about citizenship. And that's part of it, and that's definitely an important issue. But it but it's we share the same values as all Americans. We want to have economic mobility. We want to have the opportunity and the infrastructure of opportunity in our communities to move ahead and have progress, generational progress in our families.

With that in mind I have to ask you about Momento Latino. What is it all about? Yes, Momento Latino is, it translates to the Latin moment. But it is a coalition of activists and leaders and business people. And it's about lifting up our voices within the Latino community right now because we are one of the most affected communities due to COVID. And again, you know, COVID didn't cause these problems, but they've exasperated a lot.

And so, you know, despite being 18% of the population, Latinos make up 35% of essential workers. That's health care workers, farm workers, drivers, delivery, people, grocery store, stockers. You know, there's, we over indexed. We, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, th, their, their, their, their, we, we, we, we, we, their, we, their, their, we, we, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, their, th, th, their, their, you, you, you, you, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thoes, thoes, thoooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiii, thoooooi, thoi, thoes, thoes, workers, drivers, delivery, people, grocery store, stockers, you know, there's, we over index on essential workers. Farm workers have, have kept the American food supply going, going all the time, and we didn't, we didn't need a pandemic to say farm workers were essential. They've always been essential. Farm workers have always been essential to this country and the food supply of this country. And now, they're forced to go to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the. the. te. tea. tea. tooooo. tea. tea. tea. te. te. te. te. te. th. been essential to this country and the food supply of this country. And now they're forced to go to work without PPE, without hand sanitizer, with very enclosed living conditions.

Despite all of this, we keep going to work. And I think it's just important that Momento Pusches for change and is around after this pandemic. Eva Longoria is not just an activist. Eva Longoria is also a pushes for change and is around after this pandemic. Eva Longoria is not just an activist. Eva Longoria is also a producer, a very successful director, somebody who has taken the reins of not just her career, but a part of the industry that she works in. One of the pieces you created that created a lot of Buzz recently

has been the new ad campaign where you shot an ad from home. I think it's a Laurel ad and it's really intimate because you show your gray roots and you talk about coloring and tell me how that came to be and tell me why you felt the need to share this part of your journey with people. Yeah, well, well, I'm an open book, you know, people know everything about me, but I, during the pandemic, I was like, I'm going to let my grays grow. I have a full head of gray hair. I've had full head of gray hair since I was 18. It's like heretics. Yeah, thanks, mom. And so I think it would be really cool to go gray. And then about two months in, I go, yeah, this not th is not th is not th is not th is not th is th. th is thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm, thi. I'm, thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm going. I'm th. I'm the their. I'm their their their their their their. I'm their. I'm a their. I'm a their. I'm a their. I'm a their. I'm a their. I'm, I'm a their. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a their. I'm, I'm a their. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm toooooooooooooooo. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm this is not cool. It's not as fun as I thought. This sucks.

I'm really gray. And then L'Oreal called me, said, would you be brave enough to color your hair on camera? And I was like, yes, because I do box color all the time. I grew up doing box color. And I was like, yeah, and I did it. And I think there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was there was thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's. that. that. that. that. that. that. it. And I think there was an appreciation for the accessibility to, not only my life, but the accessibility to, look, we're all human and aging, and grays exist, and they exist on Eva Lungorea's head as well. It feels like you're not afraid to expose yourself to the public,

and I mean, that comes with affection and scrutiny and criticism at the same time. I mean, one of the journeys I know a lot of people loved about you was sharing your journey as a new mom. Are you in the camp of people who have found this moment in time to come with the silver lining of getting to spend more time with your young child at home? You know, for many parents, is the age to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and to, and to, and, and, and, and, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is a to, is a to, is a toe, is a to, is a toe, is a toe, is a toe, is a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toe, toe, too, too, too, too, the too, the the the too, the the the too, ish.e, ish.e, ish.e, is a is the age gap. It depends on where your kids age is and that determines how you feel about being stuck in the house with them. Are you having the time of your life right now getting to spend every moment? Time of my life, time of my life because he is in that age. He's not

in school and he's not a baby so he's not like just a lump of nothing. He's like so active and funny and walking and he loves mommy right now. But you know I had so much plan this year. I was directing two features and I was you know filming a new TV show. Da da da da. And the fact that it all stopped like it just stopped was a welcome pause because I haven't had a break in in 25 years. And so for me, I do approach it with the silver lining of instead of like I got to get home and babe Santee. I got to get home and feed. th th. I. I. I th. I th. I th. I th. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was to to to to to to th. I was to to th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was to th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I th. I th. I th. I th. I to. I to. I to. I to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. the. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the., I do approach it with the silver lining of, instead of like, I gotta get home and bathe Santee, I gotta get home and feed him. I got, it was like, I get to bat. I get to the to bed.

I get to wake up with them. And so changing the vocabulary that you use in life is powerful. Hopefully next time I will see you in person. thi th I th, I th, I tho, I to, I to, I to, I to, I to, I to, I to, I to, I to, I to, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, to to to to to to to to to to to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, that, that, that, that, thooooooooooo... ta, too, too, ta, too, tho.. th keep shouting at me through the screen and I'll just imagine I can hear your voice. Okay, good. And hear my laughter, because you make me laugh. I will do. Thank you so much, Eva. Well, that's our show for tonight, but before we go, I wanted to remind you that there

are a lot of groups right now out there Alliance for Youth Organizing, which is a national network of local youth-led organizations mobilizing people to vote. Until tomorrow, though, stay safe out there, wear a mask, and if you're going to be there, I'll see you at that pool party in Wuhan. The Daily Show with Trevor Noa, Ears Edition.
