Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Really? 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.
Starting point is 00:00:34 February 27, 2020. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. Take a seat. Let's do this, let's make a show. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is an amazing singer,
Starting point is 00:01:12 songwriter here to perform music from her new album before Love came to kill us. Jesse Reyes is joining us, everybody. Also on tonight's show, Jordan Clapper tries to get the black vote, why the coronavirus is good for Netflix and why the bad guys don't use iPhones. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with President Trump. Ever since he moved into the White House, he's been worried about two things. One that Eric would find out where he went. And two, that a deep state thi thick the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the thi thi thi thi the thi the the thi. the the thi. the thi. thi. the thi. thi. the their their thi. their is the c. the coronavirus is is the coronavirus is is is the coronavirus is is is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the virus is is is the virus is the virus is the the the the the the the the the the the about two things. One, that Eric would find out where he went,
Starting point is 00:01:47 and two, that a deep state inside his own government was secretly out to get him. Well, it turns out he may have been right. A doctor who once told the nation President Trump has incredible genes admits making some secret additions to Mr. Trump's diet. Ronnie Jackson served as presidential physician for five years until 2018. He tells the New York Times, he and his staff are working on improving the president's diet.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Those efforts reportedly included putting cauliflower in the president's mashed potatoes. Jackson told the times his goal was to help Trump lose up to 15 pounds. Yep, you heard that right. The White House doctor was secretly hiding cauliflower in Trump's mashed potatoes so that he would eat healthier. And really, that's so unnecessary, because Trump gets enough fiber from whenever he eats his burger without unrapping it first.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Although, if this worked for his food, maybe they could also trick Trump into being more effective as a president. Like maybe they could sneak intelligence briefings inside their their their their their their their their to their their their their their their their to their their their their their their their their their their their their maybe they could also trick Trump into being more effective as a president. Like, maybe they could sneak intelligence briefings inside his porno mags. Yeah. That would be great for him. And then he'd learn something, he'd be like, wow, this lady's jugs are as big as the Russian presents
Starting point is 00:02:56 inside of Syria. Hey, wait a minute. But for real, I feel bad for Trump, man. Because this is the kind of trick you use on dogs, you know, to feed them pills. The White House doctor says he was doing this. You can't treat a grown man this way? Like what happens if Trump gets injured? Are they going to make him wear one of those cones so he doesn't chew on it? It's undignified.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I mean, sneaking cauliflower into his food is not cool. First of all, cauliflower isn't even one of the good vegetables. It's just light-skinned broccoli. Boom! Roasted, you cauliflower! All right, moving on, to the world of entertainment. Yesterday, one of Hollywood's biggest secrets. There's no bad apples here. Ryan Johnson, writer and director of Knives out.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Says that even though Apple allows filmmakers to use its products in their films. . . their. their. th. th. th.. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. toeck. toeckhaugheckhaugheck. tooeckh. toeckh. toeckh. tooomeckeck. tooom. tooom. tooom.

A bad guy or any antagonist cannot be seen using an Apple iPhone. Wow. I didn't know this. Only the good guys in a movie can use iPhones? I mean now that we know it it's gonna ruin the suspense in every film. Yeah because now mystery movies won't even need detectives. They'll just be like,
Starting point is 00:04:06 okay, I'm starting a group text, let's see who's blue, who's green? Yep. Christoph Valtz came in green again, movie over. And you know what, forget movies. I don't even trust those people in real life. If I get a green text bubble, best believe, I'm calling the cops. All right, and moving on. We all know this week, President Donald Jaiho Trump made his first official state visit to India. And while he was there, he said everything was great.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Well, it turns out that in the streets of New Delhi, the situation was spiraling out of control. Violent clashes between Hindus and Muslims in the Indian capital of New Delhi have left at least 20 people dead in 150 hurt. At the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the center the c, violent the c, violent the the th. th, violent toe, violent toe, toe, toe, toe, tooom, tooom, tooom-a, tooom-a, tooom, tooom, tooom, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, t. I, t. I, t. I, t. I'm t. t. t. tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttoday, than 150 hurt. At the center of the dispute is a controversial new law, which makes it easier for non-Muslims to become citizens of India. The fighting began Monday between thousands demonstrating for and against the new law, and it coincided with President Trump's visit to India. When asked about the violence, Trump praised Modi for fighting for religious freedom. He wants people to have religious freedom and very strongly and he said that in India,
Starting point is 00:05:08 India, they have worked very hard to have great and open religious freedom. He said that an idiot? This is really interesting. So Trump asked Modi what's going on with religious violence and then Modi says, well, nothing to do with me, and what? Trump just believes him? Like, how is he so gullible? Anytime a world leader says, they're not guilty of something, Trump just believes it.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Whether it's Putin, Kim Jong-un, Modi, it doesn't matter. Like, Trump would be the perfect partner to cheat on. You just be like, hey, you got a tap! tap! tap! tap! tap! tap! tap! tap! tap! tap! tha, tha, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. tth. try. to, try. th. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. t from Big Dick Days. Who is that to be like, oh, that's just my really tall friend, Richard Dave? Oh, okay, have a fun night, working late. And you know, I'm not only worried about what's happening in India right now, I'm worried that the situation in India might affect the United States. Because in this country, rich white women love copying everything from Indian culture. Yoga, Chai tea, pretty soon they're going to be running around in the streets like, I read about this new Indian ritual on goop, you go into the streets and you beat the shit out of someone who's totally different than you?
Starting point is 00:06:13 I do it three times a week and I feel so refreshed afterwards. Yeah, it's like an ethnic cleansing. Now, now here's the deal. I. I. I. I. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I's, thi. thi. tho, tho, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I' is, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thee. theeea. tea. toge. th. toge. th. th. th. the. thee. the. the. thi., here's the deal. I'm going to simplify it, but the story around the unrest in India is a really complicated issue. What it boils down to is India's current leader, Narendra Modi, who is Hindu, has been accused of creating laws that oppress the rights of India's minority Muslim population. And once again, we're in a situation where religion is causing people to fight against each other. And guys, I'm not going to lie, it like, it like, it like, it like, it like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like to like to l like to l like to like to l like, it, it, it, it, to like, to to to to to to to be to be to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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 the the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, the the th. to, th. to, to, to, too. tooome. too. too. too. too. too. too, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to fight against each other. And guys, I'm not gonna lie, it makes me so sad. We shouldn't be fighting over whether we're Hindu or Christian or Muslim or Jewish. We should all come together to fight the real enemy. People with green text bubbles.
Starting point is 00:06:54 God damn all of them. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on. Top top story in the news is the coronavirus. It has become one of the worst diseases to hit the world since the Bud Light virus. I still remember my grandfather's last words, was ah? Now every day we learn more about this disease and how it's affecting the planet. So let's check in on the latest coronavirus news in our ongoing segment.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Is this how we die? The coronavirus has quickly turned from a regional concern in China to an international sensation. And now that it's spread to six continents and 52 countries, drastic action is being taken around the globe. The spread of the coronavirus continues to have a serious impact around the globe. In South Korea, officials announced that joint drills with the United States military will be postponed indefinitely. Saudi Arabia has temporarily suspended entry into the country to people who wish to complete pilgrimage to Mecca amid fears over the virus.
Starting point is 00:08:07 At a hotel in Spain's Canary Islands, the doors are chained shut and nearly a thousand tourists there have been ordered to stay in their rooms. Japan shutting down all elementary, middle and high schools from now until late March in hopes of controlling the outbreak. That's right. Japan has canceled school for a month. Quick, America, now's your chance to catch up in math. Come on, everybody. You know the quadratic equation as fast as you can.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Come on, do it! And as for Saudi Arabia, you realize this is a big deal, right? Cancelling people's pilgrimage to Mecca. That's huge. And they didn't stop there. In an even more drastic move, Saudi Arabia said that women aren't allowed to leave their homes, starting 80 years ago. But it doesn't matter where you are in the world. From China and Spain to Saudi Arabia and Japan,
Starting point is 00:08:55 the coronavirus is going after everybody, which is really scary, but also really woke. Yeah. I mean, you don't think about it, but the coronavirus is more diverse than the Oscars. Everyone gets a chance. And now luckily, here in the US, the reported cases of coronavirus are still very low. And yesterday, President Trump announced that he'd be putting
Starting point is 00:09:14 vice president Mike Pence in charge of fighting the disease. I know it seems ludicrous, but maybe the plan is to just have Mike Pence bore the virus to death. Just like my second favorite book of the Bible would have to be Leviticus. I always think that the coronavirus is like, ah I'm going back to China. But while most people in the US have avoided the virus, there has unfortunately been one major victim very close to Trump's heart, the stock markets. Breaking news out of Wall Street for the fourth day, stocks are plunging, and again it's
Starting point is 00:09:50 over the coronavirus. It is down 1,195 points right now. And this is now the worst week for the market since 2008, the height of the great recession. So interesting dichotomy setting up in the market right now, the stay-at-home stocks versus the go-outside stocks. You've got names like Peloton, Netflix, all outperforming, and then the go-out stocks, the restaurants, the Uber's are all getting hit. People are not going to go out if and when coronavirus comes here. Yes, the stock market is tanking right now, except for stocks like Peloton and Netflix,
Starting point is 00:10:25 because those companies win when people don't leave their houses. Yeah, but I still think these companies need to innovate to keep up with the virus. You know, like usually if you've been binging lovers blind for 10 hours, a screen pops up and asks, are you still watching? Yeah, but going forward, it should probably say, are you still alive? And the answer is probably no, because Cameron and Lauren's romance destroyed me. And honestly, I get why Netflix would be popular, but I don't get why Peloton is blowing up. Like, there's no point in exercising during the apocalypse.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Yeah, because when you finally go outside, you have a six-pack, but there's no one there to appreciate it. It's like, is anyone out there? Is there, like, there, like, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, th, th, 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, too, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooi. tooooooooomom. And, tooom. And, toothere to appreciate it. It's like, is anyone out there? Is anyone there? Look, my stomach is divided into sections now. So yes, Peloton, Netflix, and stay-at-home companies are hashtag winning thanks to the coronavirus. But because many people don't want to stay at home, there's another industry that's also taking off.
Starting point is 00:11:19 The coronavirus emergency, We're seeing a rush to buy those face masks. Stores and websites sold out. ABC News gaining exclusive access inside this 3M factory in South Dakota where they're working around the clock to meet demand. Amazon even reportedly warning third-party retailers that are taking advantage of this mask hysteria, raising prices by more than 400 percent. That's right. So many people are going out and buying masks that stores have completely run out
Starting point is 00:11:48 and people who have the masks are charging a fortune. Yeah, that's why I did the next best thing and I just bought a DVD of the mask. Yeah, you just hold it right here in front of your face and no one will bother you because you look like a crazy person. It keeps you healthy and it's a good movie. So that's the latest with the coronavirus. It's hurting the economy.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Nations around the world are on high alert, and everyone is on edge. And I get it. I really get it. I mean, right now, some of you in the studio audience, you're probably nervous that you don't have a mask of your own. Don't worry my friends. I've got you covered. If you feel under your seats, I've put the coronavirus down there. So now you don't have to worry about having a mask because you're already infected. All right, 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.
Starting point is 00:12:55 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. Democratic primary take place in South Carolina, which means all the white candidates are going to be working really hard to appeal to black voters. But how has that outreach been going? Well, we sent our very own white person, Jordan Klepper, down to South Carolina to finger the pulse. South Carolina is the first place black democratic voters will really be heard in this primary. So I hitched a ride to the historic city of Charleston.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Here I noticed something. No, it wasn't the antebellum cosplay. It was the ads that candidates were running. They all seem to feature a familiar face. This is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary career. Elizabeth understands what I strongly believe. Mr. Michael Bloomberg is here. So it seems like a lot of white folks think standing next to a cool black person gives them legitimacy.
Starting point is 00:14:14 But is it effective? Let's ask my good friend, Roywood Jr. I know why you're a problem here. Because when you're a hometown, South Carolina. I'm from Alabama. Go back check that. So Roy and I happily went to to to to to to to to to to and I happily went to Charleston to see if voters noticed the Democrats' brilliant strategy. Have you seen the ads?
Starting point is 00:14:32 Yeah, I've seen the ads. It looks like Obama's running again. All of them have these commercials now with them and Obama say stuff about it. It's just the candidate with like African Americans. Your stance cannot be what Obama did eight years ago. We want someone that's gonna be, I feel in that sense authentic. Every day when you wake up you want a candidate. Exactly. Above all things, who cares about you.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Yes. And if you- And it's like a good picture with Barack Obama. No. He think that black people like the white people that got a picture with Obama? I've never said that. I have an African American. That's what you said. That's the term I use of African-American. You can't ride on Obama's co-tale.
Starting point is 00:15:09 We're not, that's not how we vote. Which canada has the best OPV? Break that down. Obama proximity. of Obama, the more black people like you. That's a funny question because I personally never even considered that. Who's got the best OPV? Black people don't care about white people and ads with Obama. I don't know, because everybody running an ad with Obama in it right now. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:15:34 On behalf of black people, this is what black people want to see. They want to see how close to these. You know what black people. I I I I I I I I I I. I. I. I to do to do people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people. I. I. I. I.

You gotta give him a brother Cripp. Thank you very much. But even Roy recognizes the power of proximity. This is a picture of me with Barack Obama. If you look closely, that's Obama. And that's the same room. Yes, it's a set. That's Trevor. And there's a bunch of white people. And then it's the thiterms. That's their tho Obama their their tho Obama their tho Obama tho Obama tho Obama tho- tho- tho- tho-a. tho-a. thi. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. thi. thi-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. tho-a. thi-a. thi-a. thi-a. thi. thi-a. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeeeeeea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. that's Trevor and then a bunch of white people and then it's me Are these like interns these are daily show interns in between you and Obama Those are producers and writers those are respected people on the show that's an that's an intern He worked in the show for a month max it just looks it just looks like you they you know token? It's a prop it's a hundred percent right you look like a prop I'm not a prop I'm not I'm not I'm no I'm no I'm no I'm no I know I know I know I know I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I know I know I know I understand I know I understand I understand I know I understand I understand I understand I understand I know I know I understand I know I know I know I know I understand I know I know I know I understand I understand I understand I know I know I I I I I I I I know I I I I I I I I know I I I I I I I I I know I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I know I I know I know I I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I am I know I am I am I am I am I am I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I. You look like they, you know, tokenizing you in that picture. All right. South Carolina voters are not easily duped by the slick political advertising strategy
Starting point is 00:16:30 of my one black friend. But who was breaking through? I do particularly like Biden. We need health care. And Elizabeth is going to get that done. Well for me, definitely Tom Stier. I'm, to, to, what did you say? What did you say? His name? Stire? Tom Stier? Yeah. Tom Stier has a message that resonates and connects with people. Do I follow my heart and vote for somebody like? Even Tom Stier. I mean, Tom Stier. Who is tier? Tom Stier is saying some good shit. Who the fuck is he?
Starting point is 00:17:06 I have never heard of him. I don't know. The words you're saying make no sense to me. Turns out, this mythical beast spent more money on ads in South Carolina than anyone else. And Stier's commercial doesn't even have Obama endorsing Stier. It has Obama endorsing a woman. I heard this voice this this this this this this this this this this. I heard this voice behind me. Her name is Edith's Child.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Who then endorses Stier? Tom Spied up and Trump got to go. I'm Tom Stier, and I approve this message. To find out more about Stier. We went to South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn, who recently endorsed the candidate with the highest, OPV, Joe Biden. Well, you know, Stier came in. He's made a dicey. He's made a dicey.
Starting point is 00:17:46 In what way? Well, he's spending millions. Money will make things dicey. He's running second or third in South Carolina now. It's what... John Stier is running third? It's Tom. Tom, I think.
Starting point is 00:18:02 It's Tom right. Tom. Tom. So Roy and I decided it was time to go see the candidates, like Biden and Warren and... Tom Stier? Tom. That's his name. Appreciate that. You get the check. It was inspiring to see candidates engaged with the voters of South Carolina. And finally in a little church outside of Charleston, we got to see the Tom Stier.
Starting point is 00:18:27 And while Stier is just a blip nationally, he does have some intriguing ideas. I think I'm the only person running for president who's for reparations for slavery. And why's that true? Because I want to tell the truth. Tom Stier. You're Tom Stier. You guys are so excited. to to Tom Stier. to Tom Stier. to Tom. to to to Tom. to to to Tom. 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 Stier. to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their.

Starting point is 00:18:47 You're Tom Sire. What's up, you guys? We know this election could go a lot of different ways. And in case it doesn't go the way you want it to go. Can I get in advance on my reparations? I'm not laughing. I'm not really. I'm for real. These Democratic candidates are fired up, ready to go.
Starting point is 00:19:11 We are sure that was Tom Tyre. Wait, that wasn't Tom Steyer? I'm pretty sure, 70%. told him. Jordan Clapton Clayton, Roy Wood, June, everybody. We'll be right back. 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.
Starting point is 00:19:43 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 60the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter whose forthcoming debut album is called Before Love Came to Kill Us. Please welcome, Jesse Reyes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you. And congratulations on all of your success. Congratulations on being nominated for a Grammy. Congratulations on doing so well. I mean, you seem like you've just come out of no way, but you have been doing this for a really, really, really long time. One of my favorite introductions I've ever heard you give is you said, hi, I'm Jesse Reyes, and I write sad songs.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Is that how you see yourself? Pretty much, yeah, I write a lot of sad songs. I write a lot of sad thear thanks. But it's not like, someone played like a little violin or something. It's just I just happened to get more motivated to write when I'm sad. I write happy songs, they're just feeling far in between. Right. But you, you, you, the songs that you've released so far, you know, because we're still waiting for the album which is going to be coming out, but the songs that you've released might have a sad tone to them, a sad feeling but it's, it's sometimes feels like there's always an feeling of hope in the music itself. Is that something that you've saved for the album
Starting point is 00:21:25 and then like you write fun songs for other people? I guess that's funny. Um, sometimes, sometimes when I make songs for others, it's kind of like if I made a sweater, you know, and I knit this beautiful sweater, and I'm like, oh, it's nice when I try it on, and I'm like, this doesn't thk, thk, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's nice, that's nice, that's nice, that's nice, that's nice, that's nice, that's nice, and I'm, that's nice, that's nice, and I'm, that's, that's, that's funny, that's funny, that's funny, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's funny, that's funny, that's funny................... I's funny, that's funny, that's funny, that's funny, that's funny. that's funny, that's funny. that's funny. that's funny. that's funny. that's funny. that's funny. that's funny, that's funny, that's funny. that's funny. that's funny. that's nice, that's nice, that's nice, that's nice, that's? And then I give it to somebody else and it fits imperfect, but it might be happy. Like I've given away sad songs too, but I feel like in life when you're conscious of the fact
Starting point is 00:21:49 that like highs and lows, black and whites, up and downs have to exist, then sad songs have a little bit of love, and even love songs have a little bit of sadness, because you know that know. Ooh. Wow. Wow. Wow, nobody gets out of love alive? Well, no, because the- What is love, the coronavirus?
Starting point is 00:22:12 Wow, Jesse, you just like, you just took us on that? Like, do you really believe that? Well, yeah, because think about it, if, I mean, it's, listen, if you fall in love and you're lucky and you happen to be that minority that finds a love of your life. And statistically, no, like, statistically someone's gonna cheat. We've got Instagram, we got Tinder, we got all this BS that's like catered to, lying to somebody or cater to finding quick love and not what you work for. So suppose you get by all that and you find the love of your life and you guys are down for each other and nobody lies and you make it till you're old and great which is beautiful,
Starting point is 00:22:55 eventually somebody has to die. That's like the truth of human life. So you don't survive love love. But you know what though if you keep that in mind, then today you might not cheat. If you know that tomorrow's your last day, then today you might not be a jerk. Today you might be authentically yourself, today you might confess something. If you know that's tthis beautiful inspiration, a story of hope.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Your story is one that's full of inspiration and hope because you know you live in a family, a family of immigrants who moved to Canada. I mean, Canada seems to be producing so much musical talent right now. It's really insane. But you were busking at one point, you know? It's not like you had this immediate ragged richest story. When you were doing that, did you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were that you were that you were that you were that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were that you were that you were that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going that you were going th. thi thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to this immediate ragged richest story. When you were doing that, did you think that you were going to see the blow-up the way you have now? Because you have fans, like Billy Elish, for instance, who goes like, I love Jesse Reyes,
Starting point is 00:23:53 which is really amazing. In fact, you're going to be touring with her. That just got announced like now, today. So when you look at that journey and what it's been, what's the story you tell yourself of your life? That I'm blessed, that I'm honored, that I'm lucky, that my hard works paid off and I can't really stop? I can't stop. It's not often that I kind of, like, it's only when people ask me,
Starting point is 00:24:22 that I'm like, oh man, this is crazy. I remember the days where I had to bartend to like six in the morning counting tips. I remember the days that I made two bucks busking because I couldn't get anybody to stop. I remember the days I had to hand out mixtapes, begging people to listen to my music for free. I remember all th th th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I the, I tho, I the, I the, I the, I tho, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I the, the, the, t, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tired if I'm on a tour bus I just like I look at or no I'll give you a better example when I'm at home I have my old

Yeah, well it's kind of, it's jokes, it's how, first of all I have to think my parents like that, that uphill immigrant battle is a real thing and watching my parents have to like, hell yes, watching my parents have to like hustle, hustle twice as hard for opportunities, have to navigate in a world where they didn't speak like their first language of Spanish, have to navigate in a world like that, have to just just work their asses off. I feel like it taught me to make opportunities from failure, make opportunities from any time that something seems too hard. So, so if friends asked me to go out to a club in my head, I'm like, I think on my bartending days and I'm like, I don't want to be be to be to be to be to be to be to be their their their their to be to be their their to be their to be their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their..... their........ their. their.. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. t go out to a club in my head, I'm like, I think on my bartending days, and I'm like, I don't want to be there if I'm not making money.

Is there, because now the sky seems to be the limit for you? Um, hmm. Well, because I've had, I'm such a believer in affirmations and in list of goals and making sure you have
Starting point is 00:27:06 a map because otherwise how do you know where you're going. So map is like your list of goals. For a long time I've had on there like a farm for my dad, I've had a few accolades on my wall.
