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.

March 11, 2020. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Ears Edition. Welcome to the Ginich, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Thank you so much for coming out. Take a seat. Let's make a show. I'm Trevor Noah. We have two guests joining us tonight. First, here to talk about New York City's response to the coronavirus. Mayor Bill Diablozio is joining us, everybody. And then, and then we're going to be joined by the star of the new show Dave, Lil Dickie

is here. Also on tonight's episode, Bernie Sanders isn't going anywhere, toilet paper could get you killed and Joe Biden is sick of your shit. So let's catch up on today's headlines. All right, so look, normally we would catch up on all of the headlines from around the world. You know, maybe we'd talk about Harvey Weinstein getting 23 years in prison. Uh, yeah, well, we could talk about the Supreme Court's giving President Trump a victory on immigration. But today, there's only one story the entire world is talking about, the

coronavirus, aka COVID-19, aka mumbo-number death. It's now in 110 countries, with over 122,000 confirmed cases, and it looks like it's only getting worse. The World Health Organization today officially designating coronavirus as a global pandemic. Congress's in-house doctor told Capitol Hill staffers at a closed-door meeting this week that he expects 75 to 150 million people in the United States to contract the coronavirus. New tests led by the U.S. government scientists show the virus can live in the air for several hours and on some surfaces for up to three days. Oh, okay, that's a lot thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho thi thi thi thio thio thi thi thiou thi thi thiou thiou thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho-coco-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c. tho-c. tho-c. th. tho-c. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi-c. thi-c. thi-c. thi-c. thc. thc. thc. todeeea-c. tsoea-c. todeea-c. toda-c. to-c. toda-c. toda- hours and on some surfaces for up to three days.

Oh, okay, that's a lot of information, so let's try and break it all down. First, the World Health Organization has officially just declared coronavirus a global pandemic, which yes is scary for us humans, but from Corona's perspective, it's pretty cool. Yeah? No, because for a virus, it's like going platinum, you know? it's a big day. Started from the Wuhan, now we're here. I think it's pretty cool for corona. And yes, I'm saying that because I hope if I suck up to corona, it'll leave me alone. I'm not sure if it'll work, but I'm gonna try it. Now the second piece of information is a little more disconcerting. Congress's in-house doctor says up to 150 million people in the United States could end up getting Corona.

Yeah, that is half the country. And then the other half won't get it because they're clearly losers who don't have friends. Yeah, it's going to be like, how do you not have corona? Has nobody touched you? I'd rather be dad. And the third point, point might be the most scary. We're learning that this coronavirus can stay on some surfaces for up to three days. Yeah. Although in New York, it doesn't stay as long because it can't afford the rent. That's the good news. The housing crisis is real.

Now, on some surfaces like cardboard, apparently corona can only survive for a day if it's cardboard, but then on harder surfaces like glass it can survive for much longer. So like your cell phone, that could be a problem. Yeah, my advice? Clear your browsing history. Yeah, I mean you might still get corona, but at least the doctors won't see all the freaky shit you've been searching on your phone. Is this your emergency car? What the hell? And look, guys, I know I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th th. I th th th th th th thi I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, on thi, on thu thu thi, on thi, on thi, on thu. thu. thu. thu, on thu, on thu, on thu. thu. thu. thu. thu, on, on, on, on, on th. So, on th. So, on th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, on thi, on thi, on thi, on thi, on theeeeeeeeeeeean. thean. theanananan. theeeeeeeeeeeeean. So, on theeeeeeeee. Wait, what the hell? And look, guys, I know we're all scared, but it's important to keep a clear head. Panic is not going to help anything.

We're still learning about this. We're still learning about the mortality rate. And panic is not helping because right now, some people are letting their panic make them dumb as shit. The impact of the coronavirus being felt across the country now affecting everything from air travel to schools to what's on store shelves or what's not on store shelves in some case some retailers seeing a run on many of the basics. Well just a crazy scene at a grocery store where toilet paper has been in high demand. Yeah surveillance video shows a stampede of customers clearing the shelves run empty. Fights over toilet paper breaking out in grocery stores as shelves run empty. People, what are you doing?

I really don't understand what people are doing. You do not need to panic over toilet paper. Water, I would understand, right? Food, medicine, yes, but you can survive without toilet paper. Don't forget, you're in a bathroom. Oh, how will I clean my butt in this room with a shower? Like, I feel like people in First World countries don't know what to panic about. Toilet paper, are you shitting me? Like, what's next?

People just going to be running around Walmart like, oh, where's the car wax? And maybe it's because where I grew up, there were times when we didn't have toilet paper. Honestly, when I was a kid, we didn't have toilet paper. We always made a plan. You can use newspaper, you just rub it together. This is a true thing, right? You can use paper towels. Hell, everyone in America has a dog. Push comes to shove, you wipe your ass in the dog. Yeah, freckles, get out here!

Be like, I'd rather use my hands, Trevor. Look, man, just avoid panicking. Because if you panic, you stop thinking clearly. And if you're not thinking clearly, then you'll start to believe anything that you hear. And there is a lot of bad information that is out there. Well, the spread of the coronavirus, it's also led to a lot of spread of misinformation. There are more rumors going around on social media about how to avoid the coronavirus. Eating the the throwne virus. Cocaine yes and masturbation are not miracle cures for coronavirus. Yes

Drinking bleach Snotting cocaine and masturbating is not the way to cure Corona. It's the way to kick off the most rock and roll party of your life. That's what that is That's what that is. That's what that is. That's what that is. And I don't understand how anyone even falls for any of that.

None of those things gets rid of the coronavirus. Bleach gets rid of stains. You can't drink it. It's not going to help you. Garlick gets rid of vampires, okay? Cocaine gets rid of your money. That's it. In a way, the only thing that makes sense is masturbating, okay? Yeah, it won't cure you, but if you stay in and you do that all day, you'll probably have less chance of catching the virus. Yeah, you know, if the CDC really wants people to self-quarine, they should just be handing out lotion. Here you go, you tho. tho. tho. tho. tho, tho! tho, tho, to tho, to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi tho, tho, thi thi tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. theean, thean. togean, toge, toge, toge, toge, tho. the. the. the. thi, th and social distance yourself, you know what I mean.

All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. The Democratic primary race is down to two major candidates. The old man from up and the old Captain America. And because yesterday was another big day on the path to the nomination, it's time to catch up on the latest developments in our ongoing segment, World War D. Yesterday, Democrats in six states went to the polls to cast their votes and get some coronavirus. And after a strong showing on Super Tuesday, Biden picked up right where he left off. Democrats in six states went to the polls to cost their votes and get some coronavirus. And after a strong showing on Super Tuesday, Biden picked up right way he left off. Former Vice President Joe Biden expanded his lead in the Democratic presidential race.

Biden won in at least four of the six states, which voted yesterday. He took the battleground state of Michigan by double digits. Biden now leads the race by 150 delegates, which significantly narrows any path to victory for Senator Bernie Sanders. Looking at the math tonight, I think it's almost certain that Bernie Sanders does not have a mathematical path to becoming the Democratic nominee. Let's shut this puppy down and let's move on and worry about November. This thing is decided. There's no reason to keep it going, but not even a day longer. Okay, okay.

Okay. That, not talking raisin needs to calm down. Yes, Joe Biden had a great night. That doesn't mean you have to shut the primary down immediately. The presidential race, not a kissing booth in the Wuhan province, all right? Because look, it is true, it is true that because of last night's results, there have already been calls for Bernie Sanders to step aside and let the slightly younger generation take over.

But let me tell you something, if you think a little turbulence is going to shake Bernie Sanders out of the race, you need to think again. Senator Bernie Sanders earlier today, making clear he has no plans to drop out of the Democratic presidential contest. On Sunday, I very much look forward to the debate in Arizona with my friend Joe Biden. And let me be very frank as to the questions that I will be asking Joe. Joe, what are you going to do about the fact that we have the highest rate of childhood poverty? What are you going to do to end the terror that millions of undocumented people experience right now?

What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going do when they come for you? Bad boys, bad boys, what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do when they come for you? Mishman National National Nishnoy, Nishan on the day.

So yeah, for now, Bernie Sanders is not dropping out of the race. And what was interesting is some people were worried that the only reason Bernie was staying was to burn the party to the ground. But after today's speech, it seems like Bernie wants to push Biden to a more progressive platform. And I actually think it's really nice of Bernie that he's giving Biden the questions beforehand. Yeah. You know, he could have made it a surprise, but now he's like one of those cool teachers in school that tells you what's going to be in the the the the the the the the the to be to be going to be going to be in to be in to be going to be in to be in to be in to be in to be in to be in to be to be to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to to be a to to tooeombysh. toogea pe toogea pe toogea peombysh. And too-a' to p. And to push to push to push to push. to push. to push. to push. to push. to push. to push. to push. to push. to push. to push. to be a to be a more. to be a more. to be a more. to be a more. to be a more. to be a more. to p. toea'n'erunn'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n but they just don't want to see your ass again if you get held back. That's why they're doing it. I need you to pass, okay? So it's going to be interesting to see Bernie putting pressure on Biden in their first one-on-one debate this Sunday. And I'll be honest, I think Joe Biden is ready for the fight. And I say that because yesterday, a video came out of Biden going to-tod of the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their,. th. th. the, the, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, to be to be toe, toe, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be toe to with a factory worker in Michigan, and he was fired up.

Earlier in the day touring an auto plant in Detroit, Biden had a testing exchange with a voter over gun rights. How you intend on getting the union vote when there is a large portion of the union workers that are gun enthusiasts, and you are actively trying to diminish your Second Amendment right and take away her gun. You're full of shit. All right, thank you guys. Sush. I support the Second Amendment. I have a shotgun, I have a 20 gauge, 12 gauge, my son's hunt.

You need 100 rounds? When you said you're gonna take over guns, back you'd not say that. Yeah, I did not say that. It's a viral video like the other ones are putting out that it's simply a lie. God damn. Wow, I can't believe Joe Biden got into a fight with that factory worker, especially considering that he was surrounded by all of his boys. I mean, yeah, that's risky. I guess at the same time though, Biden knows those guys can't toucest.

Not because of secret service, but because of coronavirus. Yeah, no one's touching touch touch touch touch touch touch touch is touch is thouch is thouch is thoes thoes No one's touching anyone. It's just like, hold me back. No seriously, hold me back. Hold me back. It's very important right now that we maintain social distancing, all right? But when we get a vaccine in 12 to 18 months, I'm gonna kick your ass! Until then, wash your hands. You're mine. Now after this video came out, a lot of people, even some Democrats said that the worst part of that tha the the thexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, thiii, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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 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 that that that that that that that, that that, that that, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the. the. thean, thean, thean, the. thean, thean, thi. that's that's that that that elling a voter that he was full of shit. But what was interesting is that that factory worker went on Fox News today and what he had to say was really different. When you looked at this confrontation, it lasted for a long time.

What's your response about his use of profanity? You know, I'm kind of used to it in the in the workforce and as a politician I can understand the way how things have gone you're not supposed to use profanity but in this day and age it's a language I'm not going to hate him for that and I use it all the time most people use it all the time. Wow. I won't lie. I was impressed by that. That factory worker still doesn't agree with Biden on guns. He wasn't pretending to be his friend.

But what I liked is that he wasn't going to pretend to be offended by the profanity. And you could even see the Fox News anchor wasn't expecting that answer. Look at that face. He looks like he was expecting a surprise party and instead he walked in on his parents having sex. That's what that face is. And maybe one of the reasons this guy wasn't offended was because whether it's Trump or Bernie or Biden,

voters seem to like it when politicians talk like normal people. Yeah. And I'll be honest, I'm hoping that the straight-talking you're full of shit Biden becomes his new thing. Yeah. Soon Joe Biden will just be walking into diners like, hey, asshole, that's a good-looking pickle. Which is what your mom said to me last night. Ha ha ha ha. All right. Vote for me, fat ass. 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. 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 mayor of the nation's largest city, my first guest is responsible for helping New York City confront the coronavirus outbreak. Please welcome, Mayor Bill DiBlazio. Welcome, welcome to the show. Welcome virtual handshakes. This is very good. Yes, virtual handshakes and Wi-Fives.

Um, let's jump straight into it. This is a very strange time for people. Yes. I will speak for myself when I say it is a very confusing time. I don't know if I should be afraid, should not be afraid, should be a little bit more panicked at all. Where do we stand right now from New York and then from what you know about what's happening in cities around the world?

You know Franklin Roosevelt, the famous quote, we have nothing but fear but fear itself. You know, there is an element of this that is fear that's been generated beyond the facts, beyond the reality. And so when you really look at coronavirus, it's serious. We have to make a lot of adjustments to address it. But I worry that it's becoming sort of the cause for making a bunch of decisions that actually alter all the rest of our life, including in some very bad ways. Let me give you an example. Some people are saying close our schools. Now, we have a lot of evidence that this disease, thank God, does not really have that much of an impact on healthy children.

Right. Okay? Very sadly, the biggest impact is on older folks with serious preexisting medical conditions. And when we say older, what is that range? to say older, what is that range? We see the lot of the fatalities, 70s, 80s kind of thing. So it's not to, God forbid anyone is hurt by it. But when you think about folks saying close everything,

close schools, when in fact the evidence says our kids are, thank God, pretty safe. And we want our kids to get an education. And a lot of parents say to me, our kids need the schools, not just for education. It's where they get their meals. It's parents who don't have any other choice where they're going to have their kids if they don't have the schools. So it's thinking about the whole picture. We do have to make serious adjustments, and government has to act, and people have to act. But let's not make this the false idol. Let's have an honest conversation about what it is and what it isn't. So then what is it in that regard? Because I think what's been really tough in

America particularly is that from the top it seems like the president is slightly more concerned with how coronavirus affects his image as opposed to setting expectations for the nation. That was like the nicest thing you ever said about Donald Trump. Yeah, it's a columbirus. No, no, that's a virus. Bear and balance. Sure. But what I'm saying is, I have noticed that, you know,

as a society, we have lived through multiple epidemics. Yes. The difference now being specifically in America, people don't know what the messaging is because from up top it seems just compobulated at best. There is no messaging. Right. Look, we had a chance weeks and weeks ago for the president to say, this is a very serious thing, it's going to be with us for a long time, you're going to have to make some adjustments in your life. We got everything but that. And what the president really should have done

was get the testing out there to the local level where we could actually get ahead of this. They still haven't done it. They still haven't done it. So, let me ask you this, so, can people get tested? get tied. How does it even work for people in New York and how do you think it should work, you know, scaling outward? So one day I think we're going to have such abundant testing capacity that it's something that could be really broadly brought out into the population. But until that day, the focus on people with symptoms, folks who have be traveled to the most affected areas,

folks who have been in contact with someone who does have confirmed case. That's..... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to 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. to, th. to, th. to, to, to, to, to, to to, to to to to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. te. te. tethat's where you got to start. But you know, doctors can do a very initial test. They have it right now that's not about coronavirus. They can tell you if your problem is something else. They do it all the time. It's called a biofired test, and it tells you you've got all sorts of common issues, their issues,itional things. We want those folks to get a coronavirus test obviously. So we have a sense of priority and what we're finding is among the, we have 53 people as of today who have tested positive. A lot of them are at home, they're healthy, they're seeing it through, they're having very limited symptoms. Some are in the hospital, some are in tough shape, others are coming out of it. So it's not just one thing, but I do think the idea is,

why don't we as a nation mobilize all our resources, get the testing truly to be all over the country where it's needed, get people tested in a really extensive manner, then we'll know what's what, and we can get people help. Listen, 80% of the people who get it have very little negative experience. It's like colder flu in reality. For the other 20% most of them have a tough time, but they'll come out okay in the end,

except that small percentage, God forbid, and that is typically the oldest and the folks who are really ill who may not make it. Is it uncomfortable to say for a person in a leadership position, hey, the people who are going to die from this thing were the people who might have just died from anything else. And I'm not even saying that it's like a joke, but we've accepted that with certain other things in life, where we go like, hey, man, because of your respiratory illnesses, because of your age, because of this, anything, you know, if you got a chest infection, you, if you got a chest, it's, if, it, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, I, and, and, I, I, and, I, I, I, and, I'm, I'm, I'm not, and, I'm not, I'm not, and I'm not, thi. And, I'm not even even, and I'm not thi.. And, I'm not even even even even even, and I'm not even, and I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm thi.. And, I'm, I'm not th... And, I I I I'm, I'm not th..... And, I I I I'm not th.... And, I I'm, I'm, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not th. And, I'm not th. And, I'm not th. And, I'm not th. And, I'm not th. And, I'm not th. And, I'm not th. And, I'm not th. tha. th th th th thi. th thi. thi. And, I'm not on death's door, man. This thing's just going to take you out. Or do you have to like, is that, does it make the messaging harder? Because it sometimes feels like as leaders, you guys have to be like, look, I mean,

it may be some of you, just some of you, just, or just, where, whereas, I know you't think you should run for public office. I agree with you. I agree with you. Yeah. But I honestly, like what balance do you have to maintain as a leader, like in terms of being opaque versus telling people, like, like you're saying, don't panic. But then at the same time you're saying, people must change their life. So what does that mean? Right. So I'll give I I I the th you th you th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi I I'll thi I'll thi I'll thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to the. to to to to the. to to to to to to the. to to the. the. the. the. the. the. I the. then at the same time you're saying people must change their life. So what does that mean? Right. So I'll give you an example to your previous point. So my predecessor, as mayor, one day said about kids who are in danger, kids who are in danger of child abuse. He said literally, at one point we can't save every child. Because some of it is beyond the reach of government. Because some of it is beyond the reach of government. We don't even know even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even I think our goal is actually to try and save everyone, right? Our goal is never to give up on anyone. So that's why, even though

I get your point about people in public life, there's a second side of that. We have people who are older, who have those serious medical conditions, who are in the hospital right now, who have coronavirus and they're fighting for our lives and what we should say is let's pray, let's they they they they they they they they they th, let's th, let's th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thus, thus, thus, that, that, that, that, that, and I that, that, that, that, 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, and th is th is th is th is thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I that, and I thin, and I that, and I that, and I that, and I that that, and that, that that that, that, thi. thi. thi, that, and they get through, let's give them all the help, and some of those folks will come through. So you don't give up on anyone. But the honest thing is to realize what it is and what it isn't, right? If it is something that for the vast majority of people doesn't have that bad an impact, then when we're making all the other decisions, schools, work places, subways, you gotta worry about, and I look at Italy, I look at Italy now, the entire society shut down, the people's livelihoods shot to hell, how much time was it going to take to ever get back to normal? And what's

that going to mean for the people who didn't have money, couldn't afford their rent? Their lives fell apart, their careers fell apart, all this stuff. So you've to to to to to balance to balance to balance to balance the the the their their th th got th got th got th got th, th, th, th, thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thathea, their careers fell apart, all this stuff. So you've got to balance the whole equation. And one thing, you know, my public health professionals believe, they think six months is probably a valid measure right now of what is going to take us to get through this to some kind of normal again. That could change, right? But why don't we just level with people and say, we're going to go through something together. It will not be easy. You're going to have to make adjustments. You're actually going to have to look out for each other.

You're going to have to change some of your habits. Like, government can't do all that for you. We have to do a lot. What are some of those habit changes? Like, you know? You're the. of you have gone to work when you are sick, right? Everybody. The American ethic, not you, God bless you. You don't come from here. So you come from a part of the world, people think that they're sick, they don't have to work. In America, what do we do? We power

through, right? Don't do that. If you get sick, stay home. That's really difficult. We have paid sick days in New York City, which is something I'm very proud of, passed in my administration five days, paid sick days every year so you can take care of yourself and your family. Okay. We should have that all over America. Right. So in fact, in those five days you're going to find out if your disease resolved, which is what colds, flus kind of thing or if it's something worse.

Are there any plans to cancel gatherings and events in the city? So for instance, a lot of shows are saying that, hey, from next week, we're going to be, we won't be having audiences. Some people are saying, is New York going to shut down sporting events? For instance, the Golden State Warriors said, hey, there's going to be no fans at their game. I'm assuming Nick's fans would hope the same. thans. thans. thans. thans. thans. thans. thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks the thi's thi thinks thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi.

We'll to thi thi to to thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi thi thi thi thi. Weto them. Are you planning to cancel?

I got a mercy request from the Knicks. Please save us from ourselves. But look, the one thing I worry about is the cascading effect. It's one thing to come up with clear criteria, and we intend to do this very shortly that says here's the kind of adjustments we need. But what I worry about is they become no longer about health and the next... Uh. Uh. uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, uh, you, you, uh, you, you, you, you, you, 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, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, 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 criteria and we intend to do this very shortly that says here's the kind of adjustments we need but what I worry about is they become no longer about health and facts but they become sort of a rush to the exits and again you're seeing major nations in states of the theau. That would be devastating for the United States it would be devastating for New

York City so how do you strike a balance and say, okay, first of all, the folks who are sick, if you're sick, don't go to anything. If you're older and you have those pre-existing conditions, cancer, diabetes, etc., don't go out to major events or any place with a crowd because you're just so vulnerable, right? But for healthy people, how do we create some standards of the kind of places you can be and, you know, create some balance. That's what we're trying to do. You still can spend time with people. I don't want a situation where folks feel they can't go out and do anything. That is not a winning equation. It's what's the kind of situation where you're not too crowded.

Yes. There's a little more space, a little more safety in that dynamic. I think we can come come the the the the the the th th th th the th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their that dynamic. I think we can come up with that standard, keep our economy going, keep people healthy, and we're going to ride it out. And if everyone participates, the other thing we're saying to people is you've got to look out for each other. If you're a grandparent and you want to go visit your grandchildren, you know, it's important for folks to say I know you want to do that but right now might not be the right the right the right, the right, to, to, their, to, to, their, to, to, their, to, to, their, to, to be, to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and to be, and their, and thi, and to be, and thi, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, throwne, throwne, they, they, they, they wo, they, they, they, their, their, their, now might not be the right time of the kids you're not feeling well or something like that. How do you sort of create some balance? If you have a neighbor who is not doing so well in life right they're older they're not so healthy how do you help them out? Maybe you bring them meals right so they don't have to go out and be vulnerable. It's a kind of it's a little bit more of a communal solution than just a governmental solution.

And actually what we find with New Yorkers, and I think this is true all over America, is in crisis people actually get very generous. They get very kind and compassionate. And they find something in themselves that we often don't see in our society. If everyone steps up, a little bit of change your own life, a little bit of for other people, we can actually get through this. We actually can. Let me ask you one last question, then. The president has said to people, I don't think we should panic. You know, I don't know if this thing is going to be that bad.

It could go down to zero, and people have criticized him for some of that. But what would you say is the key messaging difference that you think the president may be missing out? So you know your history and you know, they used to say when a nation will go to war, don't worry it'll be a really quick war and the boys will be home by Christmas? Or famously George W. Bush on the aircraft carrier, mission accomplished for Iraq. First of all, the President of the the President, thionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionion, thiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, to to to to to to thi, thi, thi. thi. thi, thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. They th. They th. They th. They th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi is thi is thi is toe is toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. th. ththe United States has committed, I think, a fundamental sin here in terms of being a leader by not saying to people, you know what, this will take a lot of work, sacrifice, this is going to be with us a long time. There's no instant gratification here.

He abrogated his responsibility to tell people the truth. And when he said, oh, when the warm weather comes, it'll the wihewomen, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it'll, it's, I, I, I, I, I, I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th.. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. It's, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. It's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, thi. It's, thi. It's, thi. It's, th the hell was that? I mean, that's not even, that's not even be, there's no science anywhere near that, right? I mean, that's even more than his other unscientific statements. So the, I think it is crucial to be honest with people. It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be a simple things thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing to be thing to be a simple thing to be a simple thing to be a simple thing to be a simple thing thing to be a simple to be a simple to be a simple to deal to be a simple to be a simple to be a simple to deal to be a simple to deal to be a simple to to be a simple to be a simple thing to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be a simple to to be a simple to to be a simple. to be a simple. to to be a simple to to to to to to to to to to to deal to deal to deal to deal thi. thi. thi. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. the the thi. the thi. thin. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin. thi. thi. thi. thi. It doesn't mean the end of civilization. Because you want, you know, you know, they say consumer confidence about the economy. Well, there's almost societal confidence. People have to believe that we can get through it. They have to believe that things can still function so they want to participate. You don't want parents scared to send their kids to school. You don't want people scared to go to work, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and some, and some, and some, and some, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, so.iiiiiiii.i.i.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. the the the the the their. their. their. to go to work. You don't want our public servants scared to come help us. Our first responders are health care professionals.

So you have to strike a balance. But I actually find people respond a lot better to real talk. So it's a big deal. It's going to be with us a long time. It's going to take sacrode. It's going to take adjustment. montage you and I talked about with your Oh yeah, like I said, is this how we die? This is how we die. Right. Yes.

Right. Right. It actually isn't. And you know, I think an honest conversation is actually calming. I think telling people, you know, we tell, we did a thing here in New York every day. We say here are to people. We try and be really honest about what we know and what we don't know. I think that's another thing. People want to hear the truth and sometimes I know what I don't know is the most honest statement you can make. Right. And so nobody on earth fully understands this disease.

It's brand new. But we know enough to know that we can fight it and that we we the. We also know tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho. tho. tho. tho tho tho tho tho the the the the the tho tho tho tho. tho tho tho. the the the the the the the their their their what their what their what 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 try. try. try. te. te. teuu. teu. teooooooooooooooooooooooo. thea. thea. thea. can deal with it. And we also know it is not, look, we had Ebola in New York City. Let me tell you. I brought it, I know. Okay. Trevor. Trevor, I really have an issue with that and I've been wanting to talk. I was like, I know you want publicity, but this is not the right way to go about it, bringing a bottle left in New York City. So, but you know that's like you say hello to someone and everyone dies, right? I mean that's a staggering

disease. We had it here, you know New Yorkers were amazing. It was the patient who had it was at Bellevue Hospital and those doctors and nurses and technicians, everyone was like, they showed up for work, they were ready to go, they were ready to fight this thing back, and all New Yorkers saw that and took confidence and went on about their lives. Right. That was Ebola. So, you know what, that's, there's something about being a leader where you don't discourage people from having faith and strength and create fear, nor do you tell them, oh, you know, just look away from the problem. the the the, tod, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their. So, their, their, their, their. their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their. their. their. their. So, their. So, their. So, their. the problem it's all going to be fine, it's going to be done by April. You've got to tell people truth and then invite them to be part of the solution. That's what we're trying to do here. Well, thank you so much for being on the show. Amen. Really, really appreciated. May it big to blust you everybody. We'll be right back. Thank you very much.

Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the daily show. My next guest is the rapper and viral sensation known as Little Dickie. He co-created and currently stars in the FXX comedy series loosely based on his life. It's called Dave.

Please welcome, Dave a greeting. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. No, man, thank you for being here. First of all, let's start with this. What do you want to go by? Is little Dickie or are we going by Dave? Are we going by Dave?

Because you're in one of those rare positions where all of your names are becoming famous? Yeah. So are you, are you going to, because the show is called Dave. Yeah, right? I mean if you meet me in person, which I think is happening right now, yes. I certainly prefer Dave. I feel like like little dickie is just an aggressive way to greet someone. Although I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, the little ahead of it diminishes some of like, the aggress, the aggress, the aggress, 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 th, I thi, I th, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th.. I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thi. thi. thi. thi. I thi, I thi, I th aggressiveness. You know what I mean? Because if you say like, hey, what's my? I mean, you like, Dickie? And then it's like, wow.

Just like two. But if you go little Dickie, it's like, oh, OK, I can handle that. A two-word name is tough. Two-word names are tough. I like tough. You really did though. People say that and they was like, ah, put my heart and soul. But you put your heart and soul. This is a story that is loosely based on your life, which is a really interesting one. Yeah. You've loved rap your whole life.

Yeah. You wanted to be a rap. Yeah. You wanted to make music. Your parents were like, we're not going to give you your money to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do that. But fortunately, I had a bar mitzvah and it was kind of out of their hands. So, this is a Jewish crowd? I can't believe the exception. But, so you know, I had X amount saved up for my barmitsvah and my parents actually

wouldn't even let me tou toub. Which in retrospect was a great call on their end. And I spent that money on financing my first music videos as a rapper. Oh wow. Yeah. So you wait, you took the Bar Mitz for Cash and then you made your first content. Yeah. What did you use the money on? Music videos, you know, the lights and the camera and paying the people and the models. Okay. And oh yes, but then I remember, but then, but at some point there was a kickstarter as well. How did that come about? Yeah, so I eventually that Bar Mitz for Money ran out pretty quick. That was like

three videos worth and then and then to really sustain a career and like to like pay rappers to get on songs and like to tour I just needed more funding so I did a Kickstarter and I raised a hundred and 13,000 dollars and that was wonderful. I love that as a love that. I like that as an origin story because a lot of rappers you don't know where the money came from or where, like a lot of rappers just like got the chains, got the gold, but you're like, where did you get it from? And then here you're like, Bob Mitz for the Chains? I'm very, yeah.

This is. Everything's right out. Because your rap has been really interesting in that yes, it is very funny, but you don't like to think of it as comedy rap Yeah, there are funny moments in the rap but many people have said you're a really good lyricist as well. Yeah, no, I pride myself on you know being an elite top-tier rapper and I feel as though, you know, obviously I make a lot of jokes in the in the music, but it's like, I don't feel like being funny and the th should be mutually exclusive. Right. You know like I feel like before like Like comedies weren't always movies. You know like it was just it was like gestures in like a castle making jokes and then like I mean like I'm the today. Eventually they made comedy movies and thank God they did right they're so fun to watch Right they're so fun to watch. But I hear what you're saying. Yeah, saying like comedy can exist in any formal format, you can write it down, you can act it out. You've chosen to take your life, turn it into a comedy, put it on a show, and that's what Dave is about loosely based on your life. But what I like is you don't tell us which parcel loose and which is based on your life.

Yeah, just up for interpretation. There's a lot of interpretation. Well, it's like a lot a lot a lot the the thap thap thap thap thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, you're thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you've thi, you've thi, you've thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you's thi, you've thi, you've thi, you're thi, you're thi, you're toooooooooooooooooomomooooooooooooooooooooom. thae, you've thae, you've's like a hot, I'm fortunate that my life is like incredibly entertaining. Like I'm literally like a famous rapper. I go around the like world and rap. Yeah. But then at the same time like I really am just like a, like a loser and a Jewish kid who like can't even record because his nose is too stuff. You know what I mean? It's like, it's like a very interesting juxtaposition, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, a, a very.... Like, a very.... the.. th. th. the.... the............ ly. Half the time I can't even record because my nose is too, I'm not even kidding, it's like,

and I have to wear like a neck pillow just to hold my head up because my posture is so bad. And my recording set up is so unsound ergonomical. I'm not even kidding, like this is an all factual. Yeah. Truly. So, so help me help me to to to to to to to to to to to to to to truly. So, so, help me understand, because I've seen you talk about some of these stories and some of them are really, they seem sincere, but then I don't know if they're a joke, because you know what I like about the show is, you, you're telling us a story of your life, either

way, whether it's loose or base, and there are some really heartfelt moments. Yes. You're laughing and then you're like, tha feel sad for this guy and then you feel sad for the world that he's in and I feel like you as Little Dickie or even as Dave, you've managed to exist within two worlds where you make fun of yourself but you're still good in creating the music. Yeah. And then you young and that's what inspired little Dickie. Yeah, I mean yeah, like I'd be lying. This is true. Yeah, like I have like a, like if you were, you know, I have a small soft penis and like, and so that's, like, and I have tons of sexual insecurity and I think, right, like, I can't even tell my life story without like really talking about my sexual insecurity. So I think that greatly informed my rat name

and like, you know, episode three of my show comes out tonight and it's really like all about that. And I'm really bearing my soul and and uh... Dude, doesn't it ever get weird to you that? That sounds hilarious. No, I know it's funny. Because it's a comed but then funny at the same time

which I think is the ultimate form of comedy. When people watch the show what do you want them to walk away with like how do you want them to feel about little Dickie the artist what do you want them to know about Dave I've I have ill prepared for that question I've I I I I I I I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll th p p p p p p p p p p p. th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'm th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll the the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll 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 their their their their their their th. I've the. I've the. I've the. I've the the the theea thea thea to thea thea thea the the the the the the the the the they watch the show, I feel like the show contextualizes Lil Dickie to an extent. Like I feel like when people meet me they oftentimes say, I didn't know you were going to be a nice guy. I thought you'd be an asshole. But I really feel like I'm a very kind man and I think the show, kind of shows the guy behind you know the decisions that go into making, you know little Dickie be what he is. And I is, and I is, and I is, and I is, and I is, and I is, and I is, and I is, I is, I is, I is, I is, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the the the the thi, I'm, I'm thi, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I'm the the the the the the show, I'm, I'm, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel, I feel, I'm the the th making, you know, little Dickie be what he is. And I think if you watch the show, I don't care what your dream is, I feel like you can apply it to the show because I had like a very improbable dream

and it came true and I think that's kind of the core of the show. And everyone out there probably has their own dreams and I think if you watch the show it'll inspire you to act, not, to, 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, th, the, th, th, th, and I the, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I thi, and I the, and I the, and I the, and I the, and I the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, and, the, and, and, thin, thin, and, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, then you then it will inspire you to acting yes I think we've got it we're on exactly the same page this is going well this has been it's kind of fun yeah thank you so much for being on the show thanks for having me guys Dave it really funny show it adds Wednesday at 10 p.m. on FXXX Dave Dave Brun, everybody.
