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 West Coast, you know, the part of America that keeps Nevada from getting wet.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Extreme wildfires have been devastating the region for over a week now. And as if the natural disaster isn't bad enough, it's being made worse by some serious human stupidity. Raging wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington state are burning out of control at this hour. At least 35 people have died. Officials describe conditions as, quote, apocalyptic. As if the fatal, massive wildfires weren't enough to contend with? Well, now officials in Oregon are having to plead with residents to ignore a Q&ON conspiracy
Starting point is 00:01:17 theory that is quickly spreading online. The false claim says Antifa is to blame for starting the fires. A Clacomus County Sheriff's Deputy has been placed on leave after a video went viral of him falsely claiming that anti-fascists started fires in Oregon. Antifa, mother-fixie, okay? Right. Are out causing hell. And there's a lot of lives at stake and there's a lot of people's property at stake because these guys
Starting point is 00:01:44 guys got some vendetta. Yeah. Not not only the the the the the the the the th only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only the the the the thoooo the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the thiocococom. the the the thiocomicea-cala. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. thiqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thea thea ta-c. ta-c.a-c.a-c.a-c.a-c.a-c.a-c.a-c.a-c.a-c. t. th. lot of people's property at stake because these guys got some vendetta. Yeah, not only do officials have to deal with wildfires, they also have to deal with the only thing that spreads faster than wildfires, internet conspiracy theories. Which, let's be honest, are the worst, because at least fires eventually get put out. Internet conspiracy theories, man, they're harder to get rid of than those microchips th th thip the government the government the government the government the government the government the government the government the government the government the the the the the the the the the their their their their the their the of the, 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. th. th.

Yeah, theories, man, they're harder to get rid of than those microchips that the government put in our brains using fluoride and impossible burgers. It's true. Look it up. The only way we're going to get rid of conspiracy theories is if we take away our uncle's Facebook. And good luck with that. Because you try and take Facebook away from Lord of the Rings. My frenzies! And you know what really doesn't help in this situation is that while the sheriff's department is saying, don't believe the conspiracy theories, one of
Starting point is 00:02:31 the sheriff's deputies is spreading the conspiracy theory. It's like if you saw smoky bear running around with a flame thrower. Now, I don't know what to think. Now, since these fires are these fires fires fires fires fires fires fires these fires these fires these fires these fires these fires these fires these fires are these fires are these fires are these fires are the fires are the fires are theirirs are their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is so their is their is their is their is their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is. their is. their. their. too. too. today. too. too. too. too. today. today. today. today. their once again has been forced to rely on inmates to help fight the fires. And because these human beings are risking their lives to save others, the governor has finally decided to pay them back. Well, some inmate firefighters who are working the front lines on our California wildfires now have a chance to capitalize on that experience after they're released from custody. Governor Gavin Newsom signing into law what will give some inmates a shot at careers
Starting point is 00:03:08 in firefighting after completing their sentences. Thousands of prisoners that are on the front lines that are near the end of their time in prison that are getting credits and want the opportunity because the training they're receiving. This bill that I'm about to sign will give those prisoners hope of actually getting a job in the profession the the the the the 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 the. their their the. the. the. their their their their their their their their thia. thia. thia. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. they.

I'll their their their their their their their their their their their their teaughea. tea. their their their their their their their their their their their their thethe training they're receiving, this bill that I'm about to sign will give those prisoners hope of actually getting a job in the profession that they've been trained. Yeah, for years, even though prisoners fought wildfires while incarcerated, they weren't allowed to become professional firefighters once they were released. And that was all because of their felony convictions. And honestly, I think this is a great step in the right, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their felony convictions. And honestly, I think this is a great step in the right direction, because America keeps telling people
Starting point is 00:03:46 to take what they've learned in prison and use it to get back in society. If you learned how to fight fires in prison, you should be allowed to become a firefighter when you come out, if you've learned how to to t learning how to do more crime, when you get out you should be allowed to get a job in the Trump campaign. And you know, I'm not surprised that prisoners actually make really good firefighters. Because they don't mess around, man. On the first day, they walk up to the biggest fire and they put it out.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And all the smaller fires know that they mean business. That's how it works, right. That's how you fight fires? I wish there was someone here. But let's move on now to Florida, the state that's been doing the post-apocalypse thing for decades now. It may be hard to imagine, but there was a time in America when some people thought the biggest problem in the country was young black men with sagging pants. Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground. Ah, simpler times. But now, one city that had cracked down on this minister society is having second thoughts. We begin with the city and Florida dropping his ban on saggy pants.
Starting point is 00:04:56 For 13 years, anyone in Opelonka, who was wearing pants that exposed their undergarments could be cited, but the City Commission has now voted to overturn that controversial ordinance. Critics say the ban imposed overly harsh penalties and disproportionately affected young black men. That's right. A city in Florida has finally overturned a ridiculous law that banned people from wearing saggy pants and I could not be happier.
Starting point is 00:05:24 For two reasons. One, the shit was obviously targeted at young black men and two, it made it impossible to be a plumber in that town. Have you ever seen a plumber with these pants up? Still no one here? I'm going to keep on trying. But seriously, though, I'm glad that this law is gone because this basically made it illegal for black men to dress the way way way way way way way kids to dress like black men dressed like the way that they wanted.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Can you imagine if a city did the same thing but only to white people? Imagine if a leader came out like, from now on, no wrap around Oakley sunglasses. If you ain't playing beach, their sunglasses. If you ain't playing beach, their sunn. the th shit off your face! Nobody needs sunglasses on the side of their face. What, the sun coming out you from the side? Huh? Another reason I'm glad this law is gone is because this is another responsibility
Starting point is 00:06:10 that cops just shouldn't have, right? Telling someone to pull up their pants is another job that police do not need to have. This is a job for grandmothers. illegal to look too skinny because you're not eating enough, or have cops pulling people over because they have schmutz on their face. Sir, I'm going to need you to hold still. Hold still, hold still, hold still. I just want people to see how beautiful you are. There you go. Outer space. It's the reason people who aren't perverts have telescopes. For years, scientists have been asking if there is life on Mars,
Starting point is 00:06:45 but it turns out they may have been looking in the wrong place. Astronomers have uncovered possible new signs of life on Venus. Its surface is hot enough to melt lead and it's cloaked in clouds of toxic gas, but scientists now believe something could be alive on Venus, or actually just above it. Professor Sarah Seeger, along with a team of international scientists, spotted a molecule called phosphine in the planet's atmosphere using giant telescopes. Finding phosphine, it really leaves us with two equally crazy ideas. One is that there is some unknown chemistry. And the other one is that there's some possibility there might be some kind of life producing phosphine on Venus. Wow, human beings are amazing.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Just five months ago we finally discovered how to properly wash our hands and look at us. Now we're discovering extraterrestrial life. And I think it's super exciting that there's life on Venus because I've heard that's where all the ladies are from. Ooh I can't wait to go to Venus. A planet full of only women? Ho ho ho! I'm just gonna roll up there and be like, yo, ladies, can you give us some advice on building an egalitarian society based on mutuality, free from patriarchy?
Starting point is 00:07:59 You know the one thing that often gets me is that we spend a lot of time trying to discover life on other planets. I feel like we don't spend any time figuring out what we're going to do when we find life on other planets. Because I mean, given Earth's track record of explorers finding life on other planets they travel to, my advice to Venus is, their advice to their advice. And of all the times to discover, to discover, to times, times, times, times, times, times, times, times, the times, the the the the the the the thii, thi, to to 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's thi. thi's thi's thi. We thin. We're thin. We're thin. We're to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their to to thin. thin. thin. thin, thin, thin, thin. thin, this is the worst time. Because what if the aliens come down to meet us and we give them coronavirus? They're gonna be so mad. Then we're gonna have to explain that it's not an act of war, but then they'll be like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:08:31 but you guys knew you had it, why didn't you wear a mo'er. And then we'll be like, that's a weird thing, and they' they's. So Zuckerberg is here. We wondered where he ended up. And we'll be like, wait, Zuckerberg's an alien? They'll be like, what? You thought he was a human? Waa! Now, we better pray that aliens are really nice and welcoming to humans. Because at the rate, climate change is going,
Starting point is 00:08:53 we're going to need a place to crash. Hurricane Sally is expected to make landfall as a category one tooomorrow, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too of emergency have already been declared in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. The slow-moving storm is packing winds around 100 miles per hour is expected to drop nearly two feet of rain. For only the second time in recorded history, five tropical cyclones are churning in the Atlantic at the same time. We're running out of letters to name them so soon. We'll be using the Greek alphabet for storm names. Welcome to 2020 people where we've had so many hurricanes that now we're going to start
Starting point is 00:09:32 using the Greek alphabet. And I guess after that they're going to have to get ideas from Elon Musk. Ah! It's Hurricane X, Zion 7. How do you pronounce the upside down G? And guys, you know what's crazy to me is that even though we're seeing the effects of climate change almost every day, there are still tons of people in this country who are like, I don't know if it's real. And even if it is, I'm not really afraid of it.
Starting point is 00:09:59 But what's funny is those are the same people who are like, a Muslim family moved into my neighborhood? What is their secret plan? So maybe we just need to use that irrational fear to get people to take climate change seriously. Yeah, instead of naming them Hurricane Sally or Hurricane Diane, they should call it Hurricane Abdul-Bah-Sharl-Dil-Din-Bacharie. In 12 hours America will be all vegan and everyone in NASCAR will drive a Prius. We've got to save this goddamn planet, y'all! Speaking of which, there's another crisis engulfing the country that's even more directly tied to climate change, the West Coast wildfires. With less than 50 days until the election, President Trump and Joe Biden are clashing that theat. While meeting with California's governor, the president downplayed role of climate change and the wildfires are ravaging the region. His Democratic rival blasted that attitude.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Donald Trump's climate denial may not have caused these fires and record floods and record hurricanes. If you give a climate arsonist four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised if we have more America blaze? We want to work with you to really recognize the changing climate and what it means to our forests and actually work together with that science. That science is going to be key. Because if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think it's all about vegetation management, we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians. Okay, it'll start getting cooler. I wish you just watch.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Mr. President, you're right. It will start getting cooler. That's called Winter. Goldster. So I guess Trump's approach to climate change is the same as his approach to coronavirus. Just deny its existence and then hope it'll magically disappear. Which probably means six months from now, Bob Woodward is going to release a tape where Trump is going to be doing a detailed PowerPoint on carbon emissions impact on global temperatures.
Starting point is 00:11:51 And this is why the solar flares that we're experiencing at a stratospheric level are so, hold on, Fox News, aye, yay, yay. But it's no wonder that Trump doesn't believe in science, people. The dude's been defying science his whole life. I mean, when science told him he couldn't subsist on a diet of fast food, meatloaf, and steak for 74 years, Trump was like, challenge accepted. Now, if you think that the president was at all embarrassed by that exchange, well, you clearly don't know Trump, because rather than hiding in shame, he spent nearly an hour this morning chatting
Starting point is 00:12:25 with his best friends on Fox News. And he obviously thought the interview went great, but something tells me that even they are wondering if they can keep this up for another four years. Mr. President, I think you broke a lot of news this morning. Thank you very much for starting your day with Fox and friends. Thank you. Okay, it's been great. Thank you very much. to. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Thank you. Mr. Thank, th. Mr. Thank.

President. President. th. th. Mr. th. th. th. th. th. th. you. Okay, it's been great. Thank you very much. We're gonna do it every week. I look forward to it. Yeah, we're gonna do it every week. Every Monday, I think they said. And if we can't do it on a Monday, we'll do it on a Tuesday like we did today. Sounds good. Mr. President, thank you very much. You may want to do it every week, but Fox is not committed to to do it. tho to do it to it to to do it to do it to do it to do it every it every it every it every it every it every it every it every it every it every it every it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every every every every every every to do it every every every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every every every every every every to do it every every every to do it every every every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every to do it every 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 do it every to do it every to do it every to that. We're going to take it on a case-by-case basis. And Joe Biden, as well, is always welcome to join us for 47 minutes like we just did with the president. All right, Donald Trump, President of the United States. Wow. Steve Ducey just told the president of the United
Starting point is 00:13:16 States, don't call us, we'll call you. Imagine that. He's the most powerful man in the world, and they're treating him like he's a Jehovah's Witness who's also selling time shares. And the fact that Ducey even knew that it was 47 minutes just shows you how annoyed he was. Not 45 minutes, not an hour, 47 minutes exactly. That's someone who spent most of a conversation staring at their watch. And by the way, if Melania ever wanted to have an affair, Trump's Fox News interviews interviews interviews interviews interviews interviews interviews interviews interviews interviews interviews the thue news news news news news news news news news news news news news. th. th. th. th. th. thui. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. thi. th. th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the. the. the. the. theuu. theu. th. thu. thi. thu. thi. He. thi. He. He's wanted to have an affair, Trump's Fox News interviews would be the perfect time for her to do it. Okay, Eduardo, my husband just calling to Fox now, so we have anywhere between 45 minutes and 3 hour to make called in different love. But still, man, I want to give props to Steve Ducey for inviting Joe Biden on the show to make it seem like Fox and Friends is a
Starting point is 00:14:05 balanced news show. That was pretty cool. Yeah, at the end he was just like, just to be clear, we will also talk with Joe Biden. It's only fair. All right, coming up next, our Democrats gonna burn your house down while you're asleep. We'll discuss, but the 26-year-old EMT was killed in her own apartment by Louisville police. And after months of protests in the streets, online and at major sporting events, the city of Louisville has finally responded. A major development in the killing of Brianna Taylor, attorneys for for Taylor's family say they have reached a settlement with the city of Louisville,
Starting point is 00:14:49 Kentucky. That settlement includes a financial agreement and police reforms. Twelve million dollars in a settlement, a civil settlement for Brianna Taylor, but the lawyers and the mom and everybody, they're making it clear that this fight is not over. They did announce, though, that along with that civil settlement, there are a number of police reforms, including a housing credit for officers to live in low-income housing, to live in the communities that they police,
Starting point is 00:15:18 creating a program to include social workers for assistance on police runs, commanding officer to review search warrants before the officer seeks a judicial warrant. Those are some pretty serious reforms for the police department. Okay, there's a lot going on right here, so let's try and break it down. In what might be a first,
Starting point is 00:15:38 the city of Louisville has agreed to not just pay a settlement to Brianna Taylor's family, but also enact a number of police reforms to try a settlement to Brianna Taylor's family, but also enact a number of police reforms to try and prevent something like this from happening ever again. For instance, from now on, a commanding officer has to attach their name to a search warrant before it goes to a judge, which hopefully means that they'll be more careful about which raids they approve, because now they can be held accountable. Also, every raid will now include paramedics so that if somebody, that if somebody, they can be held accountable. Also, every raid will now include paramedics
Starting point is 00:16:05 so that if someone does get shot, somebody is on hand to try and save their life, unlike what happened with Brianna Taylor, who was left on the ground for 20 minutes after being shot. Another reform is that officers will now be incentivized to live in the communities that they police. Which is a step in the right direction, but I'll th th th 't believe that police are allowed to live outside the areas that they patrol. You know, you would think they'd have a vested interest if they police the places that they're
Starting point is 00:16:32 from. You know, it's like the president not living in the country that he's in charge of, which I know technically Putin does with America, thii............. And, th. And, th, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the their, thi, tho, thi, thi, 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, thi.a, thi.a, thr-a.a. theean.a. thean. thean.a. thean. thean. th thean. thean, thi. th settlement is the $12 million paid to Brianna Taylor's family, which is a record for the most money Louisville has ever paid for police misconduct. But honestly, that's not really the type of records we want black people to be setting. And the thing that's also messed up about these settlements is that it's never paid by the police who did something wrong. It's paid by the city, which means taxpayers are being punished for the crimes that are committed against them, which I think we can all agree is some bullshit. I mean if cops are guilty of misconduct they should be responsible for the
Starting point is 00:17:17 settlement. You'd be a lot less likely to play fast and loose if you knew that you were risking your house. And as for the police department, this was a th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the the th. the th. the th. the the th. the the th. the the th. to the the the the to to to to to the the to to to to to to to be the the the to be to be to be to be to be to be 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 th. th. the the th. the the the the th. the. the. the. the. the. t. te. te. te. te. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. te. te. te. t you were risking your house. And as for the police department, this was a big step forward. But at the same time, guys, I don't think you should take the killing of an innocent person for police departments to make common sense reforms. They should be doing this on their own. You know, the time to install a smoke detector is not while your house is on fire. So yes, the city of Louisville has made moves to atone for what thuuu. And thu. And thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, theee. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi. So yes, the city of Louisville has made moves to atone for what happened to Brianna Taylor. And in some ways, this is a victory. But really, the true victory will be where no more families have to get settlements for the loved ones that they've lost. Barbados, the place with a rich, beautiful history that you probably won't see because it's outside the Sandals Resorts.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Although the Caribbean island obtained independence in 1966, the Queen of England is still officially the head of state. But that's about to change. Queen Elizabeth is being removed as head of state in Barbados. So the Caribbean nation plans to become a republic next year. 55 years after declaring independence from Britain, the Caribbean nation plans to become a republic next year. 55 years after declaring independence from Britain, the island's governor general says the time has come to leave the colonial pass behind. It'll be the first time in three decades the monarch has been removed.
Starting point is 00:18:35 The queen is head of state in more than a dozen countries, formerly under British rule, including Australia, Canada and Jamaica. Oh no! First Megan Markle and now Barbados, the queen is losing the the the the the 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 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 their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is.eanananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan is.eanananananananan is.le and now Barbados, the Queen is losing all her black friends. And the question is, why now? I mean, did Barbados just get sick of the British? Or were Her Majesty's vacation cornrows the last straw? I thought she looked fly. You know who I feel really bad for though?
Starting point is 00:19:02 Since Charles. I mean, think about it, when he was born, he was set to inherit a massive global empire. By the time he finally takes over, though, he'll basically just be ruling Seattle but with a fancier accent. I mean, at this rate, the only Caribbean island that British Royals will be welcome at is Jeffrey Epstein's. Either way. This was a lot easier than when America broke free from the British. I mean, they had a whole war. Barbados just basically ghosted the Queen. Hello? Hello Barbados, are you there? Hello?
Starting point is 00:19:33 Shhh! Don't answer the phone. Rianna's our queen now. Let's move on now to another country where people are desperate to rid themselves of a despotic monarch, the United States of America. One of the biggest clashes between protesters and police this summer was on June 1st, when federal police used tear gas, pepper spray, and batons to clear the park in front of the White House so that President Trump could hold a Bible in front of a church.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I want to show people that it doesn't burn my kind like they show in the movies. We can hold it. But as overheated as that response was, we're not finding out that it could have been even hotter. A military whistleblower says federal officials sought to use a heat ray, which makes people's skin feel like it's burning to deal with protesters outside the White House in June. Major Adam DeMarco told a House committee that a military police officer emailed him seeking an active denial system, also known as heat ray. The officer stated in his email, quote,
Starting point is 00:20:32 the device provides a sensation of intense heat on the surface of the skin. DeMarco says he responded, saying the DC National Guard did not have the device. God damn, I can't believe this is real life. Federal police wanted to use a heat ray against peaceful protesters outside the White House.
