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. 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. The big story that's had everybody talking from social media to the morning news has
Starting point is 00:00:45 been Baba Wallace, NASCAR, and the noose. Now if you miss the story, here's how it all went down. Baba Wallace, the only black NASCAR driver, has been promoting the Black Lives Matter movement and pushing NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag from its races. NASCAR agreed. And Bthe Confederate flag from its races. NASCAR agreed, and Bubba Wallace immediately faced a huge firestorm from people who felt like he was blocking their southern heritage and racism. Then a week after the flag was banned from the races, one of Wallace's crew members found
Starting point is 00:01:18 a noose hanging in the garage where Wallace's car was parked. And so immediately, everybody was on edge, especially black people. I mean, it's a noose. A noose is like the n-word of ropes. In fact, I don't even like saying the word moose, because it's too close to noose. I just called it a Canadian cow.
Starting point is 00:01:38 So anyway, after the news was found, NASCAR called in the FBI to investigate if this was indeed a hate crime. And last night, the FBI announced their findings. The FBI has determined that NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime. Investigators say the news found in his garage had been there since last October, months before Wallace was assigned that stall. According to NASCAR, the rope was used to pull the garage door closed. Wallace, the sports-only black top circuit driver, says he doesn't care how long it's been there.
Starting point is 00:02:13 It's still a noose. What an emotional roller coaster? It turns out there was a noose in the garage, but it wasn't left there as a message to Baba Wallace. It was used to close a garage door. And I'm going to be honest with you, I'm just relieved. I'm relieved.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Because for a story involving a noose, this is the best possible outcome. It wasn't a hate crime against Baba Wallace, and it wasn't a hoax like Jussie Smollett. Because the country didn't need any of that right now, right? I mean, we've already got police brutality videos going viral every day, protests in the streets, and on top of all of that, there's a pandemic that you think has gone away, and then it comes back with a vengeance like a virus John Wick. Now I know there's someone out there who's probably just as relieved as I am. And that's my good friend, Roy Wood Jr. What up, Roy?
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yeah, what's up, man? What's going on? For once, the FBI delivered some good news. Good news? You must have lost your goddamn the news. No, but come on. I don't mean like good, like, the told the story. toe news. tooom news. too' too' too' too' too' too' too' too' too' too' too' to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be too' too-s, th th th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to too-n, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the the thin, the thin, too the too too too too to too to to to to the the the thin, I don't mean like good, like Santa Claus is in town. I mean like relatively good news, you know, like from where the story started, this ending is good news. No, man, a nooose is never good news. That's like flying a turd in your kitchen. Like you see a turt in the kitchen, you don't care why it's there, how long the Yeah, but okay, but Roy, apparently there's an innocent explanation for this, right? They say that the rope was just used to close the garage door, like they tied the end of it
Starting point is 00:03:52 like a noose, like a noose, like a nuisance, like a noose, like a today. And that's like building a campfire, that's like, that's can't think of a less racist way to roast marshmallows. And why not? Why a noose knot? Of all the knives that we got, we got, you got, you got a slipknot, you got a clovee, you got a taupetut, a alpine butterfly, but they chose a noose. Anewse, a noose, a nuisance, bro. throw, a nuke. A nu-a, a nu-a, a nu-a, a nuke. A nu-nus, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a no, a noose, noose, a noo, a no, a no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooose, no, nooose, nooose, nooose, nooose, nooose, nooose, nooose, noo, nooose, noo, nooose, nooose, noo, nooose, noo, noo, nooose, noo, noo, noo, broo. Permanham, Alabama, Troop 415, Six Avenue Baptist Church, dishonably discharged for eating all the funnets of popcorn, but that's another story.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Okay, look, I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're saying. Like, it's pretty messed up to're telling me they still closing garages by hand? NASCAR makes billions of dollars. You telling me they came to four no damn clicker. Brack, you can purchase and install a garage door opener for $300. Tell my uncle Derek could knock it out for $150. He over in Memphis just hit him up. And then on top of that, that's how you know, Trevor doesn't have enough black people in their sport. You just got a noose just dangling and nobody, nobody saw it.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Hey man, grab the murder rope and shut this garage real quick. Nobody? Nobody seen nothing. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie Roy, you make some really good points. So, okay, so then how do you respond to people who are saying that black people are just being too sensitive? Yeah, you kind of to be their...... their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, to to their, their, to their, to to to to to toe, toe, toe, toe, their, toe, toe, to me, to me, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, to, their, their, their, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to, to me, to me, to, to, to me, to, Yeah, you kind of need to be sensitive when you've had a target on your back for the last 400 years. That's why I hear it on a swivel at all times, man. I can't afford to let my guard down. Little kids come up on my porch for Halloween.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah, they might be kids dressed as ghosts. Or they could be really short members of the KK. Ain't giving no snickers bar to the Klan. Get your ass off my porch. All right, Roy, so then, like, what do you say? Where do we go from here? Well, first off, Trevor, everybody need to learn how to tie a different knot. You Google that shit, go figure that out.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Secondly, NASCAR needs to give all their garges, News check once over before every race. We wouldn't want any more misunderstandings. Hey man, speaking some truth there, Roywood Jr. Thank you so much for checking in, my dude. I hope you don't find any turds in your kitchen. I don't even know what that meant. You ain't never found a turd in your... Whatever, man. The COVID-19 pandemic, the virus that's somehow been to more parts of America than Guy Fieri.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Back in March, when we first realized how serious it was, a lot of people were like, damn, this might not be over until like the summer. Well, summer's here and it turns out Corona might just be getting started. Across the country, states are shattering coronavirus records, with nearly 35,000 cases yesterday in the U.S., the highest one-day total in two months. Today in Florida, a record 5,500 new cases. Well, California has seen a 29% jump in hospitalizations in just two weeks. And in Texas, the governor sounding the alarm.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Houston's Texas Medical Center reports 97% of the area's current ICU beds are filled, nearly 3 out of 10 with COVID patients. Texas Children's Hospital is admitting adults to free up beds for COVID patients. Oh Lord, it's happening again. Just as New York's numbers started going down, the rest of the country is seeing an explosion in cases and hospitalizations. In fact, in places like Houston, Texas, it is getting so bad that they're even sending adults to the children's hospital, which is awful.
Starting point is 00:07:37 These people are seriously sick. They should not be at a hospital where all the doctors are children. What? That's not what a children's hospital... be at a hospital where all the doctors are children. What? That's not what a children's hospital? Oh, and I'm not shocked this is happening. I mean, because let's be honest, much of America has treated the coronavirus the same way we treat our bodies in the winter.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Yeah, we're always like, yeah, I know it's not looking good, but when the summer comes, I promise you everything's going to be in shape and then the summer came and things were still not looking good and people are like Yeah, screw it. I'm still going to the beach. So coronavirus records are being broken every day across America In fact right now basically the only place where cases are actually declining is in the original epicenter of the outbreak in the northeast Which is why New York New Jersey and Connecticut just announced that anyone who is entering the state will have to quarantine for the out?????????????? the the the the the the the the the the the the the to? to? to? to? to? to? I? I? I? I? I to to to to to to? S to to to to to to? S the the to? S to screw it's? I scrantee, to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the? I 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 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 announced that anyone who is entering the state will have to quarantine for two weeks. Now, that's going to be almost impossible to actually enforce.
Starting point is 00:08:33 But the good news is, it already takes two weeks just to get through the Lincoln Tunnel into New York, so it kind of takes care of itself. In fact, things are looking so bad for the U.S. that Europe is considering a ban of all.S.S. toe. And. And. And. And. And. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, toe, toe, toe, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, the the 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 are looking so bad for the U.S. that Europe is considering a ban of all U.S. citizens until they can figure out what the hell is going on. And I see where Europe is coming from, because we can't deny that the United States is doing a particularly bad job compared to other countries. I mean, look at this chart, right? Cases in all those other places are going down, while America went down for a little bit and then shot back up.
Starting point is 00:09:11 So, I guess, congratulations on flattening the curve? The question is, though, why is the US doing so badly? Well, while many Americans are wearing masks and socially distancing and following the advice of health experts, one thing you cannot overlook is that there are also many other Americans who are just really, really, um, well, you know, you judge for yourself. At a commissioner's meeting in Florida's Palm Beach County, anger erupted after a unanimous vote to make masks mandatory.
Starting point is 00:09:44 This turned down right ugly. Here was the scene. And maam, as a doctor, I really have thi, I really, is th, is th, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is thu, is thu, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is tho, is thu, is thu, is thu, is thu, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the masks mandatory. This turned downright ugly. Here was the scene. And ma'am, as a doctor, I really have many question marks about your degrees and what you really know. And I'm sorry, ma'am, but I don't think that you are worthy of your credentials. And I would ask suggestively that you go back to school and get educated. And they want to throw God's wonderful breathing system out the door. You're all turning your backs on it. You literally cannot mandate somebody to wear a mask knowing that that mask is killing people.
Starting point is 00:10:14 It literally is killing people. And every single one of you that are obeying the devil's laws are going to be arrested. And you, doctor, are going to be arrested for crimes against humanity. Six feet, like I said before, is military protocol. You're trying to get the people to train them. So when the cameras, the 5G comes out, what? They're gonna scan everybody. We gotta get scanned, we gotta get temperature.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yes, it appears America isn't just dealing with a deadly strain of coronavirus, it's also dealing with a deadly strain of stupidity. If wearing masks killed people, there would be no doctors, no dentists, and no hockey goalies. Every hockey game would end with a score of 1,000 to 980. Why are we even arguing with these idiots? And this just shows you how destructive social media has been. I mean, you have random people berating qualified health professionals because of some conspiracy theory that they probably came across on their Facebook feed. You can't trust Facebook for medical advice. It isn't run by a doctor. It isn't even run by a human. And this is why everyone
Starting point is 00:11:17 should stick to Instagram. The worst thing you'll end up doing is getting a butt lift and buying lots of plants. I mean sure your body your body will be out of proportion and your home will look like a forest, but at least you still believe in science. I mean, do these people listen to themselves? Just think for a moment. You guys think every government and every health expert around the world is involved in some giant conspiracy to oppress everyone on earth?
Starting point is 00:11:43 But they don't have the power to block that one video on YouTube that exposes the real truth. With this fake health crisis, we will enslave all of humanity. What about those YouTube videos? Oh, does anyone know how to code? Now look, having people who believe crazy conspiracy theories and ignore facts, that's nothing new. What is new is that now one of those people lives in the White House. Did anybody see my speech the other night on Saturday night?
Starting point is 00:12:20 So, what I said the other night, there's never been anything where they have so many names. I could give you 19 or 20 names for that, right? It's got all different names. Wuhan. Wuhan was catching on. Coronavirus, right? Kung Flu. Yes. Cong flu, yes. Cong flu.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Covew. COVID. COVID, COVID-19, COVID. I say, what's the 19? the COVID-19. Some people can't explain what the 19. Give me the COVID-19. I said, that's an odd name.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yes. How will we ever know why the disease discovered in 2019 has 19 in its name? It's probably the same idiots who came up with the name Madden 20. I mean, there's way more than 20 football players. It makes no sense. So on the one hand, we have scientists searching for a vaccine, sequencing genomes, and generally busting their ass on an unprecedented effort to understand and defeat this pandemic.
Starting point is 00:13:28 On the other hand, we're six months into this thing, and the guy in charge of the response is still trying to figure out the name of the virus. Give me two more months, guys. I think the one and the nine goes together. It makes 10 times two, tomes, tomes, the nine goes together. It makes 10 times two is 2020. That's what it's happening now. I guess what I'm trying to say is you might want to upgrade to Zoom premium because we're going to be talking in those little boxes for a while. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
Starting point is 00:14:00 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. As the Corona lockdowns have stretched into month four, can you believe it? Month four. Many people in America cannot wait to get back to work.
Starting point is 00:14:38 And there's one American who can't wait to get away from work. Which is why after weeks of buildup, Donald Juneteenth Trump held a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His first rally since the coronavirus shutdowns, but like most of Trump's sentences, it didn't exactly go as planned. This morning, sources close to the White House say President Trump is furious that his much-hyped campaign reboot went bust.
Starting point is 00:15:05 His Saturday night rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, drawing a much smaller than expected crowd. The president had boasted that a million people requested tickets, and he promised to fill the 19,000 seat arena. But the Tulsa Fire Marshal tells NBC News that 6,200 people showed up, leaving rows of empty seats. Outside the VOK Center, these workers took down the overflow stage early. The president had planned to address the crowd there, but no crowd materialized. Oh, poor Trump. For somebody who was born into wealth and never suffered a single consequence for his actions, this dude just cannot catch a break.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Because nothing is more humiliating than when you throw a party and most of the guests don't show up. I still remember when that happened for my 12th birthday. Oh really? All of your grandmas died on the same weekend? I found that very unlikely. So, why was turnout for Trump's rally so low? Well, the Trump administration claims it's because protesters blocked the entrance, which, like most things the Trump campaign says, is not true. The most likely explanation for all of those empty seats in that arena is that as much
Starting point is 00:16:21 as some people love Trump, they also love not dying from coronavirus. Oh, and there's another thing that might have thrown off Trump's numbers at the arena, and it has to do with K-pop. It turns out, the Trump campaign might have been trolled by teenagers, Tick-Tock users, and Korean pop music fans. Before the Tulsa rally, these tech-savvy groups mobilized to reserve tickets for an event that they had no intention of attending.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Oh my God, I just registered for Trump's rally, and I'm so excited to not go. While it's unlikely they were solely responsible for this low turnout, their antics may have inflated the campaign's expectations for attendance numbers. Clearly not everybody showed up.. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. turnout, their antics may have inflated the campaign's expectations for attendance numbers. Clearly not everybody showed up in Tulsa. Maybe people heard the huge numbers and said they didn't want to go through the hassle of the crowds.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Goddam, that is hilarious. Getting foiled by a bunch of meddling kids. I mean, that means Trump is basically a Scooby-Doo villain now, although at least Scooby-Doo villains wear masks. And I'm proud of these teams. I mean, think about it. In 2020, TikTok went from being an app where you learn dances to, hey guys, this is how we abolish the police and take down the president. Now, Trump was reportedly really unhappy when he looked out and saw the empty seats. But you know what? The people the were pumped up to see their guy again.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Because remember, a week ago, when Trump used two hands to take a sip of water? Well, just look at how excited this crowd was when he managed to drink a glass of water with only one. They said, you couldn't lift your hand up to your mouth with water. I was speaking for a long time. I didn't want to drink it, but I wanted to wet my lips a little bit. See, we have a little glass of water. Where the hell did this water come from? Where did it come from? Yeah! Woo!
Starting point is 00:18:13 I'm proud to live in a country where the president can drink water with just one hand, sometimes. Yeah! Yeah! Woo! I'm proud to live in a country where the president can drink water with just one hand sometimes. It feels like the longer the Trump presidency goes, the more confusing it's going to be for kids studying American history in the future. So Lincoln was hailed for freeing the slaves and Kennedy was lauded for putting a man on
Starting point is 00:18:44 the moon and Trump was lauded for putting a man on the moon and Trump got cheers for drinking water? Did they mean inventing water? Is this textbook right? Now there is a lot going on in the country that President Trump could have talked about as Israeli, could have talked about Black Lives Matter, the coronavirus pandemic, but the topic that he devoted the most time to, nine full minutes in fact, was how people made fun of the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way that he devoted the most time to, nine full minutes in fact, was how people made fun of the way he walked down a ramp last week. Last week they called me and they say, sir, West Point, we're ready.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I was on the stage for hours. Hours. Son, I came home, I had a nice tan. He said, sir, we can now leave the stage. I say, great, General, let's go, I'll follow you. And he goes like this- Because I'm wearing leather bottom shoes, which is good if you walk it on flat surfaces. It's not good for ramps. I'm being baked. I'm being baked like a cake. I said, General, there's no way I can make it down that ramp without falling on my ass, General. Now I have a to go, the the the to go, to to go, the to to to to go, the to the to to to to the to the to to the the the, the, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoome, thoome, thi, and I thi, and I th. And th. And he 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. And he thi, and I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean, thean, the the. And the the General, there's no way I can make it down that ramp without falling on my ass, General.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Now I have a choice. I can stay up there for another couple of hours and wait till I'm rescued. Or I can go down this really steep, really, really, really, it's an ice skating rink. It's brutal. The first thing I did I looked at his shoes, then I looked at mine. So what happens is I start the journey inch by inch, right? So I took these little steps, I ran down the last 10. And by the way, they're tape, take the look in almost every instance. It ends just before I run. I've never seen Trump that defensive before.
Starting point is 00:20:29 He spent so much time on this story that now I'm more suspicious than I was. Like before I thought, yeah, maybe Trump has some trouble walking down ramps. But now I'm not even sure that he has feats. It's also wild how Trump will talk for hours about walking down a ramp. But if you're asking about racism in America, he's like, someone's looking into it, we're gonna look into it, let's move on. So anyway, Trump tried to put on a brave face and give the crowd a show.
Starting point is 00:20:54 He told crazy stories, he called COVID-19 the Kung Flu, and, one of the craziest parts of the rally is that he even admitted that he's told his people to slow down coronavirus testing so that the numbers wouldn't look as bad, which is something we used to have to assume he was doing, and now he's just telling us. So I guess, thanks for the honesty. But when it was all said and done, it was clear that all of those empty seats really took a toll on Trump. This video, you see the president the president the president the president the president the president the president the the thi thi thi thi thi thi th liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked liked like th like th like th like th like thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that he that he that he that he that he that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. that th. th. th. 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 toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe ook a toll on Trump. This video, you see the president arriving back at the White House after that event, looking a little dejected.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Looked like he felt defeated as he was walking out of Marine One. The fact that we're seeing him with his tie undone, that crumpled Maga hat in his hand. It tells you that he wasn't able to basically put a happy face on something that for him was just an enormous disappointment. Man, I have never seen a person get out of a helicopter looking that sad. He looks like he's walking home after a wedding where he got stood up at the altar, but still had to party because everything was non-refundable. I mean, cheer up, Donald. You've got plenty of reasons to be happy.
Starting point is 00:22:06 The borders are closed, bar is firing prosecutors, and no one's seen Fauci in weeks. Come on, just take a double shot of hydroxy and get back in at Mr. President. Because, honestly, it's weird to see Trump display emotion. It's actually uncomfortable. It's like watching Mr. Potato Head get a bone out. I don't know how to feel. But I think this experience this experience this experience this experience experience experience experience experience this experience experience experience experience experience this experience experience experience this experience experience this experience this experience thiiiiiiiiiiiiioliol- thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to feel. But I think this experience was the first time Trump actually felt the full weight and severity of the coronavirus pandemic. And what finally got to him wasn't the 12,000 lives lost in America, but instead, the 12,800 empty seats in an arena.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Every day, we are still seeing changes in response to the Black Lives Matter protests that exploded all over the the US 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 trua trua truasuasuasuasuasuasks.c, tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru.c, tru.c, tru.c, tru.c, trucoeaunc, tru.c, tru.c, tru.c, tr.c, tr.c, tr.c, tr.c, tr.c, trtru.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.tru.tru.tru.tru.tru.tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tru tr response to the Black Lives Matter protests that exploded all over the US a month ago. Police departments are being scrutinized and even changed. Companies are looking at their lack of diversity, and racist statues are falling harder than Mike Pence boarding a plane. And in Rhode Island, they're taking steps to make their official state name a lot less problematic. Rhode Island's official name could soon exclude a portion with ties to slavery. The official name of Rhode Island is Rhode Island and Providence plantations.
Starting point is 00:23:17 The state's governor signed an executive order to remove Providence plantations from citations, state websites, and state employee pay stubs. We can't ignore the image conjured by the word plantations. We can't ignore how painful that is for black Rhode Islanders to see that and have to see that as part of their state's name.
