Anyway, we've got a ton of news to catch up on today, so let's do this people. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah. Here's edition. All right, people, let's kick things off with the only story anyone is talking about.

The Miami Heat, beat the Lakers. Yo, did you see that Jimmy Butler was insane? Triple double, 40 points, yo. Obviously I'm joking. The real big news this weekend was in the Premier League. Man United Lars 6-1 and then Liverpool 7-2 to Aston Villa? Aston Villa? That would be like if the Dallas Cowboys got beaten by the Cleveland Browns. I mean, that was the craziest news.

All right, but for real though, obviously, there's only one story that anyone in the world cares about right now. Breaking news, the president tests positive for the coronavirus, revealing his diagnosis in a late-night tweet, saying he and the first lady have COVID-19 and will quarantine immediately. Breaking overnight. President Trump this morning at Walter Reed Medical Center. The president's medical team is insisting he's doing well and is receiving doses of the experimental drug Ramdesivir and steroids. His doctors are also saying he could be released from

the hospital as early as today. That's right people. Donald J. Trump, president of the United States is battling COVID-19. And before I say anything else, can I just say on the record, I do not want Donald Trump to die from this. I mean, I don't wish death on anyone, and especially not Donald Trump. I don't want him to lose his life. I want him to lose an election. I also don't want him to die because then Mike Pence would be president. And then we might as well be dead because Mike Pence is the most boring human being on the planet. then. And. And. And. And, then. And, Mike. And, Mike. And, Mike. And, Mike, Mike, then, then, then, then, to. And, to, to, to, thuillape, thin, thi, the planet. He's the most boring version of Donald Trump. All of the policies are none of the fun.

If Trump is cocaine, Mike Pence is just flour. Your nose is still gonna burn, but nothing cool happens. Ah, yeah, it tasks like bread. I also don't want Trump to die because the whole reason people chose Joe Biden is because he has the best chance to beat Donald Trump. If Trump wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't the race wasn't the race was the race was the race was in the the the the the the the their their the the 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 th. thu. thu. thu. the. the. thean. thean. thean. trean. trueuoooooooooooo'ean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. the't in the race, then people could have taken a chance with someone else. Like personally, I would have voted for Marian Williamson, because I do think America needs to realign its chakras. Yes, I know I'm not allowed to vote, but I'm still allowed to dream. But while it's great that the President is doing better, we still

have to ask the question, how did this happen, and how did it get this bad? Well, to be honest, the way Trump has handled the country's coronavirus response is, unfortunately, also how he's handled this pandemic in his personal life. Starting with his brazen disregard for all the safety precautions that keep the virus from spreading. Few masks, one very crowded Rose Garden. The question was this a super spreader event that's led to the White House coronavirus crisis. Last weekend's packed and mostly maskless rose garden ceremony for his Supreme Court pick may have been a super spreader event. Those now infected include the President, First Lady, former theidkley, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is hospitalized, Senators Mike Lee and Tom Tillis, as well as the President of Notre Dame. President Trump senior aid Hope Hicks, his campaign Senators Mike Lee and Tom Tillis, as well as the President of Notre Dame.

President Trump's senior aid Hope Hicks, his campaign manager Bill Steppian, and personal assistant Nick Luna, are also infected. The White House Press Secretary Kaylee McEnany says she tested positive for coronavirus this morning. Senator Mike Lee, seen on camera, hugging other attendees. We have some images of the indoor reception, it's so striking and you'll see, and you see the little red dot, that shows who subsequently tested positive. So as you walk through them, you start to see the mixing and mingling. Yeah, turns out while you've spent the last seven months hugging your grandma through

a giant condom, Trump and his friends are having no mask cocktail receptions indoors with a guest of honor is COVID-19. And now, at least 30 people in Trump's circle have tested positive for COVID-19. You realize that means there's been more infections at the White House over the last day than in New Zealand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand and Australia combined. The White House Rose Garden is like the wet market of America right now. Thank God Dr. Fauci doesn't have it. He must be so relieved that Trump stuffed him in a locker three months ago.

I mean, I don't care who you are, guys. This story is insane. Everyone from Trump's campaign manager, to Trump's press secretary, to Trump's friends have been infected with coronavirus now. It's almost like the writers of 2020 didn't know how to wrap the story up so they were just like, ah and then they all get coronavirus the end. And look, I know some people are saying that this was karma catching up to tru-up to Trump, but guys a massive outbreak at the White House is not karma, it's consequences. It's not karma to get hit by lightning. It's not karma to get a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, th. thin, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiol-a, thi, thi, thiol-a, thiol-a, thi, thi, thi, thi, their all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all. And their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. And thi. And thi. And thr-a, thr-a. And thr-a'a' thatea' thr-a' throooooooooooooooo' all all. And thr-a, th're standing on the roof of a skyscraper holding a metal rod while there's lightning.

The universe didn't do that shit to you. You did that shit to yourself! Now, it's bad enough that Trump has put the entire White House in danger before he knew there was a virus outbake. But what's even more disturbing is that after Trump found out that he could have been exposed He didn't quarantine, he didn't social distance. He carried on with his life with complete disregard for other people's lives. There is evidence of disregard for the health and safety of others. President Trump would have likely been contagious for up to two days prior to his positive test. That means anyone he had contact with that Tuesday's debate or Wednesday's rally in Minnesota could be at risk. Contact tracing is underway this morning for more

than 200 people who may have been exposed to the coronavirus at a New Jersey fundraiser for President Trump last Friday. The president traveled to the fundraiser despite the White House knowing before he left Washington that a closed aid had tested positive for the virus. It would also be irresponsible of course for the president to have been going to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the to the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to too. too. too. too. 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.a.a. the the.a. tr. tr. tr. truexe. truea. truea. truea.a. truea. truea.a. truea. true. true. true. ested positive for the virus. It would also be irresponsible, of course, for the president to have been going to a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday night and then proceeding to a fundraiser in Bedminster on Thursday. I don't care what anyone says, man.

This is truly despicable. Trump knew that he could be infected, and he put his own supporters at risk anyway, and I feel so bad for anyone who paid money to attend this fundraiser. Because those people didn't want COVID, they just wanted to give Trump enough money so that he'd let them dump chemicals in a river. Why should something bad happen to them? And not only did Trump keep his exposure to coronavirus a secret from his donors,

but get this. The Trump campaign also never told the Biden campaign about any of it, even though they had just been debating a few feet apart while Trump was likely contagious. Which honestly is surprising. I thought that if anyone would know the protocol for informing partners that you may have infected them, it would be Donald J. Trump. In fact, this is probably the first national security secret that Trump has actually managed to keep a secret secret

secret. He won't tell you he might have COVID, but brief him about a new weapon system and on Twitter. He'll be like, we got a new missile that's totally unstoppable. Unless you know the secret code is three, two, four, four, nine five. Hash, hash, pound pound. And if downplaying the virus was on brand for Trump, well, so was what came next. A blizzard of dubious medical information, vague promises, and self-serving lies. The President's doctors and White House officials have been giving confusing and conflicting information about the President's condition all weekend. On Saturday, White House Dr. Sean Connelly repeatedly dodging questions about whether the President was so sick he needed oxygen. Yesterday and today he was not on oxygen.

Thursday no oxygen, none at this moment. Yeah, and yesterday with the team, while we were all here, he was not on oxygen. But now, Conley says he did actually administer oxygen to the president on Friday at the White House, after his blood, oxygen dropped. I was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president, that his course of illness has had. I didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction.

And in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn't necessarily true. Conley also caused confusion by suggesting the president was initially diagnosed Wednesday. The White House later claimed Conley misspoke. And Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has also contradicted himself. He has mild symptoms. Saying that Friday and then admitting the very next day that in fact the president's vital signs had been very concerning, and we are still not on a clear path to a full recovery. Do we have an accurate picture of how the president is doing?

Well, the answer is no. I'm going to be honest here. I feel bad for this doctor. Yeah, I know. I know. Because guys, in all his years at medical school, the one thing he probably never learned was how to bullshit an entire country. Think about it. On one side, you've got the public asking for information on the president's health.

And on the other side, you have your patient, the president himself, who wants you to go out and tell everyone that he karate chopped the virus until it died. And once again, people, we're reminded, it doesn't matter who you are. If you come into contact with Donald Trump, at some point, you're going to have to lie. Doctors, national security advisors, press secretaries, lawyers, yo, I pray that I'm never on a flight with Trump because that pilot will be out here lying like a moth-b-bid- Ladies and gentlemen, we're landing as planned in the middle of the ocean, and I just want to thank President Trump personally for opening the emergency door mid-flight and letting in a nice cool breeze.

So right now, as it stands, there's been so much deception from the White House that even though Trump is leaving the hospital, we just don't know what condition the president is in right now. Because while Trump's spin team is painting a rosy picture of his health, outside experts say all the medications that Trump has been given suggest that he's not doing that well. But then again, there's also the possibility that Trump doesn't need all the drugs he's getting. He just wants them, and the doctors are too afraid to say no. Give me all the pills. All the oxygen, the the tox, tox, tox, tho, tho, tox, tho, th. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the, thi, the the the the the the the the the the the medication, the medication, the medication, the medication, the medication, the medication, the medication, the medication, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. toge. thae. th're at it, give me a boob job. Because people, these drugs are no joke.

Like for instance, just the steroid that he's on. Dexamethazone is wild. Like, listen to this. They say it can cause bad side effects, like confusion, delirium, mania, irritability, mood swings, and feelings of grandiosity. Are we sure Trump wasn't already taking the steroid? mood swings and feelings of grandiose... grandiosity. Are we sure Trump wasn't already taking the steroids? So just like his handling of coronavirus as a whole,

Trump's handling of his own brush with Corona has been marked by secrecy, deception, and just generally ignoring science like it's one of his children. And one other thing that has remained consistent is that, as always, the thing Trump cares most about is how he looks. The president himself tries to project an image of recovery, releasing photos and video taken inside Walter Reed. It's been a very interesting journey.

I learned a lot about COVID. Overnight, the White House released these photos of President Trump appearing to work in the makeshift office, set up at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. You see the one taken at the conference table and one from the presidential suite where he filmed last night's update. Editor-in-chief of the air current John Osterauer says that he took a closer look at the data embedded in the photos and found while the photos appeared to have been taken over some extended period of the the the the the the the the the the the the the thoe.... And. And. And. And. And, and the, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, the, the, the, the the, the, the, the, the the.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. And, the thea.e.e.e.e. And, te. And been taken over some extended period of time, they were actually just 10 minutes apart. Critics of the president are questioning

the authenticity of these photos pointing to the blank piece of paper he appears to be signing with a Sharpie. Yes, basically Trump staged these photos just to make it seem like he was busy at work. So what we have here is a rare case of picks and it didn't happen. Then again, maybe Trump wasn't busted at all. Maybe this turned out exactly as they intended. Okay, Mr. President, we're gonna take some photos of you now, so just do what you normally do in the Oval Office. Oh, you guys mean pretend work?

Okay, got it. Scribble, scribble, policy scribble, Iraq. So, that's how Trump's been handling life with coronavirus. And, you know, you you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you that's thi, you thi, you thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thri-s, thi, thr-s, thr-s, thr-a, thr-a, thi, th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi, thi. thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thr-s, thr-s, thr-s. thr-s. thr-auui. thr-a' thr-a. th's how Trump's been handling life with coronavirus. And, you know, I guess in some weird way, it's nice to know that he doesn't treat America any differently than the way he treats himself. But there is one big difference, though. Unlike most Americans, Trump has access to the best treatments possible and a world-class medical team looking after him, both at the hospital and back

at home at the White House. I mean, look at this group of doctors that was involved in Trump's care. It looks like the part of a movie when the scientists announced that they've made contact with a space creature. Nobody else gets that many doctors. So, considering what he went through, and how much work it took to treat him, some people had a glimmer of hope, just a glimmer that maybe Donald Trump would come out of this thing with a new appreciation for how serious this disease is.

Maybe he'd come out with a new commitment to getting it under control, and that hope lasted all of two days. President Trump has just tweeted to the world that he it under control. And that hope lasted all of two days. President Trump has just tweeted to the world that he will be leaving Walter Reed Medical Center a short time from now at 6.30 p.m. Eastern, he says. The president in his Twitter announcement, writing, quote, don't be afraid of COVID.

Don't let it dominate your life. We have developed under the Trump administration some really great drugs and knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago. Yeah, that's right America. Don't be afraid of COVID and don't let it dominate your life. Because as long as you can take your private helicopter from your home hospital to an even better hospital, you'll be great. Oh and by the way, to the 200,000 Americans who got COVID and don't feel better than they did 20 years ago, I guess that's on you.

All right, we have to take a quick break, but when we come back, we'll have more on the infection heard around the world, and Jason Mamoa joins us on the show. Don't go away. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at.

That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. There's no denying that every single one of us is still reeling over the news that President Trump has COVID-19. I mean, one of the biggest places to see the panic is online. So I figured, let's get another perspective from someone who's an expert in online, Djibouki, young white. Djibouki, what's going on, man?

Oh, Trevor, how's it going? What do you make of President Trump's diagnosis? Hmm. I'm not going to lie, Trevor. I'm pissed. Like I understand that he's sick, but that's just how I feel. That's just how I feel. You know what, I hear you, Jabuki. Many Americans are angry with the president because they feel like he was irresponsible with his health and with the health of those around him. And now he's not only endangering his own life, but threatening the operation of the entire federal government.

No, dude, like, I mean, yeah, but no, like, I'm pissed because he is overshadowing the most important news story right now. Melania Trump hates Christmas. She hates Christmas. What? I don't remember that. You don't remember? It's because it was announced like two hours before it dropped

that they both had COVID. So of course you don't remember, but she did. She said it. Look. Turning now to secret audio tapes just released a First Lady Melania Trump. She apparently goes on a profanity-laced rant about Christmas decorations. They say I'm complicit. I'm the same like I that that that that that that that that that th th th th th th I th I th I the thi thi thi thi thi thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes, thoes, thoes thoes thoes thoes they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're tho. tho. tho. tho. too. to told. to told. to told. to to to to told. to to to to told. to to to to too. too. they're theyicit. I'm the same like him.

I support him. I don't say enough. No. Where I am? I put the... I'm working like a ask my ass with the Christmas stuff that, you know, who gives the fuck about

Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it, right? Oh man. I totally forgot that story. That shit was crazy. It turns out Melania hates putting up Christmas decorations at the White House. Yo, it was the greatest news story of all time, Trevor. I love it so much.

I made it my ring toes. Wait, listen. Who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decoration? This makes not answering phone calls so much more fun. Like yesterday when you called me 11 time. Djibouki, that was for work. I know. But you know it's the worst part about this getting buried Trevey, Trevor. I had so many jokes about it.

Like, now I understand why her holiday decorations look like she murdered Christmas. Also, um, I know why Melania hates Santa because she already got an old, fat white man crawling into her room once a year. That one needs a little work. Oh, this was gonna be, I had an act out plan too. It was gonna be like this. Why don't you ever give me what I want, Santa Trump? Other voice!

The accent is not there yet, but I was going to practice it. Yeah, you know what? I hear you, Djibouti, but I feel like Melania hating Christmas as a story just, it doesn't seem important right now. I know, Trevor, but it's just not fair. Like, could you imagine if Michelle Obama had been caught saying that she hates Christmas? The Fox News Building would have exploded with semen. But instead, it's them. The people who came after Starbucks because they didn't say Merry Christmas are now silent when their first lady said, fuck Christmas.

You know what else? I was going to start a new holiday. You know, Trevor, I was going to start a new holiday. You know how Trevor? I was going to call it F. Christmas. It's when families got together and listened to the Melania F. Christmas tape and said, Falk Christmas, but now we can't fc. Christmas because Trump got COVID. Well, also because Melania is sick. Well, right. Well, you know, I guess we don't want to be mean to me Malani when she's sick. Well, you know, I guess we don't want to be mean to Melania when she's sick. Feel better, Melania. We're rooting for you. Well, well, look, I mean, maybe the trumps will get better soon, and then everyone can go back to this story.

You're just trying to make me feel better, Trevor. I see what you're doing. It's not going to work. Fee Christmas is ruined. Now all that all that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that thi all thi Christmas is thi Christmas is that that that thi Christmas is that that thi Christmas is that that that that that that thi's that we have is regular Christmas. Who the f-bikes Christmas? Who the fakes regular Christmas? Oh, sorry, that's me. Oh, I got to call now to weeks up. Yeah, I'm gonna have to not take this. So I gotta go. Is that cool? All right, talk you later. Peace, Trev. Nice talking. Wait. Why would you have to go if you're not going to... You know what, never mind.

Bye, bye, Djibouki. It's time for us to take a short break, but don't go away. Because when we come back, I'll be speaking to Aquaman himself, Jason Mamowa. Stick around. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.

But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News, listened to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Earlier today, I spoke with Action Star and Activist, Jason Mamoa. We talked about his new documentary that tells the story of Native American communities reclaiming their food and land. What's up, buddy?

What's going on, Jason, how you doing? I'm awesome. But not really. I'm in quarantine, I'm going out of my mind. Jason Mamoua is one of the biggest stars in the world, so you're getting back to work. But before you get back to work, you have to, like in Canada for instance, you have to sit for two weeks at home, you can't leave the house. I think they threaten you.

It's a $750,000 fine. If you leave, yeah, if you leave the house before that two weeks is up, Canada's taking it seriously, so what are you, what are you doing to say same? Everyone's got any problems up here. .. they's, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, that, they're, if they're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're, if you'll, if you can't, if you can't, if you can't, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you's is is is, if if if if you's is, if if you's is, if you's is thi.

And then there, you, you, you, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'll, I'll, 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'm going, I'll, I'll, I'm going, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm, I'm th. I'm, to music and then there's I brought my guitars. Okay, okay, okay.

And so I'm gonna learn how to play stand-up bass. All right. All right. That's my new learn how to play stand-up bass and I'm gonna learn how to play mandolin. How many instruments do you currently play? I play guitar, I play bass and learning drums. I want to learn trumpet too, but I didn't bring that, my daughter's learning trumpet. Damn. But that's what kind of keeps me saying, I didn't get to grow up with a lot of instruments, so I'm making up for the last time. I feel like you're the one person who was designed for this. Do you feel like you were ready for this moment? Does it, you know, has it thrown you up as much as anyone else? I think really ready for it is a nice reset. I mean, I think it's really beautiful. I never get to be home. So I've got to be home with my babies and and they're 11 and 13, so it's a very beautiful time to be home. And also a lot of work on myself and being my wife. We've been in 14 years.

It's been a beautiful time to like just work on us because I spent years trying to build a career where I actually did stuff that I love to do, which now I have that career. It was not the case 22 years ago. So it's just been good to be home. And now I'm back to work. And it's kind of sad because my kids's tapeee ccets tapecets tape ccete caaa tape ca tapeath. tiiiia tia tia tia tia to to to to to to to to thoe to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theoooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. toe. to be home and now I'm back to work and it's kind of sad because my kids can't come up to see me because they have to do two weeks quarantine. Right. So

so it's the first time I've ever been away from my family for this long. So. Jason Mamoua, a lot of people know you as an action star. I mean, you know, whether it's being a breakout star in Game of throwns, whether it's you know, the the the the the the line of shows on Apple TV with C, whether it's just like blowing up the box office with Aquaman. Jason Mamoua is an action star. This project that we're gonna be talking about today is a little different. It's a lot of heart, a lot of pain, and a lot of hope. Tell me about the documentary Gather and why Jason Mamo decided that this, this film needed to be made. Well, I think the the the the they they they they. they. they. 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. th. th. the................................................. It's is is is is is the. It's is the. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's toe. It's toeeeeeee. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It's the. It's th be made. Well, I think what you brought up, just being known as like an action star, you know,

it's a misconception of who I am, even going back to my first film that I directed. It had to deal with the atrocities that were happening on Native American reservations. I've made it my duty in many ways and in my art and my companies to kind of fight for justice and bring to the forefront things that are my concerns and I think all the roles that I play people kind of can think of me in a different way. But yeah. When Gather came by, those things are happening to even my own people in Hawaii or just the things that have been happening and what has happened to our ancestors and the disconnection between our

ancestors and our traditions, our food source and so this film is extremely beautiful and I if I can use my platform in any way to be able to bring something that's an honest human film and in true history and explanation to what has happened to so many of so many indigenous cultures, I'm all on board. So when I saw I blew my hair back, you know, I've seen it about five times. I love it. I just watched it against that I could be with you and I mean, have you had a chance to watch it? Man, can I tell you something? I learned things watching it that I didn't know. I feel like any great documentary does that. Any great documentary, you know, sharpens up the things you do know, but then it'll always open your eyes to an

aspect of an issue that you genuinely never knew before. What a lot of people may not know is how decimating their food supply was one of the things that the colonialist did to destroy Native American populations, decimating their food, you know, polluting the way they eat, restricting them from living the way they lived. And you see those effects still affecting those communities today and that's what you show in the documentary which I found really fascinating. I mean like th th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, 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, thi, thrown, theee nco, tho, thooooooo, theoluu, thoooooooooan, the, thi, their, the in the documentary, which I found really fascinating. I mean, and how it ripples out. I mean, like, it relates to even my own culture, which is obesity, and like, just shipping all the crap food that's coming over on boats when we were, you know, we were island earth. We were, we were 100% by ourselves in the middle of the ocean.

I just find it that it's so disconnected from the natural food source that it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, that and be a part of something like this. So I mean, I definitely, I'm very thankful that you watched it because sometimes people won't get to do that. So I'm very thankful for that. But it's a, yeah, it's a beautiful film, that I want to get out to the world. You showcase people who are putting forth solutions. You know, you're putting indigenous peoples in front of the camera. This isn't one of those stories where like the documentary filmmaker or the executive producer makes it about themselves. This is a story about the people. We follow these amazing people who are saying, here's how we can combine science with our traditions. Here's how we can move into the future. Here's how we can claim back our food supply. Why do you think it was so important for you to that's the best part about this thing.

I'm like being involved because it comes directly from there. I felt like I was growing and getting therapy and the experience within the tribe. I mean that's what's beautiful about it is it's truly amazing filmmaking and also the director just the way that he unfolds it in his storytelling process. So I mean, that's what makes just a great documentary in general. Before I let you go, I'm worried about you in quarantine. I know how crazy that can be. Here's my suggestion. You play music.

I say you should do like a free concert every day, even if it's for 30 minutes with people live online. You like me to be in quarantine though. I feel like you like, I feel like you're loving it. I was born in quarantine, Jason. You claim quarantine. I was born in quarantine. Now man, you know what? I grew up stuck in the house, partly because of apartheid,

partly because my grandmother was afraid to let me go outside. So, I mean, I'm used to it, but I don't think I'm used to anything that's happening in the world. So stay strong, stay actually for giving you a hug with these days. Deal my friend. Don't ever threaten me with a hug Jason, I'll take you up on it. Thank you so much for joining us on the show. Thank you very much everyone. Cheers. All right, when we come back, I'll be talking to the multi-talented cat Graham. Stick around. When 60 minutes minutes minutes minutes minutes minutes 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.

I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts, starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. So earlier today, I spoke with actor and musician Kat Graham. We talked about her work with the United Nations to help refugees and her latest film directed by Rizza, Cutthroat City. Cat Graham, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Trevor Noah, thank you for having me, kind of.

Um, you are one of the most talented people I know, easily. I mean, actress, singer, dancer, uh, you know, human rights activist. And now, once again, you're embarking on a journey that is sure to blow people's minds, which is being a part of Rizza's third film, which seems like it's going to be a blockbuster because I mean the cast alone is crazy. You're going to be, it's TI, Ethan Hawk, Shamik Moore, who am I forgetting? Yeah. Yeah.

Terrence Howard. Pretty beasty. Right? Yeah. Tell me a little bit about the the the the tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. beasty, pretty beasty. Right? Yeah. Tell me a little bit about the movie and what this experience has been like. The movie was wild because we actually shot it in the ninth ward in New Orleans. That was not something that I necessarily thought was going to happen, but it really brought to life ever trying to make and the stories we were trying to tell it and it really at home. Working with Rizza was so different because I'd never worked with anyone like him. He's like a ninja, you know, and he's... And because he's an artist, too, you know, you really get that he really goes with the vibe.

Sometimes directors over-direct, he really let us go with the flow. Right, right, right. The story seems to be a heist movie. You know, you think, oh, I'm getting into a straight-up action movie, but then you come to realize that almost like one of the bad guys in the movie is Katrina. We're dealing with people who are reacting to that disaster. And although the story is set 15 years ago, it feels unfortunately really applicable to what's happening today.

We really, really focus on the neglect that happens within marginalized communities and you really see the parallel of what is happening currently and, you know, the black community not getting the kind of support, getting the kind of funding, not getting even accountability given to them for what they're experiencing. And it just, I'm so glad that I was a part of this movie. I feel like it really is going to help a lot of people and I think it gives a lot of clarity to help a lot of people, and I think it gives a lot of clarity to what a lot of communities are experiencing. You're not just a performer.

You've always been somebody who has really spent a lot of time working to bring to the fall issues that communities around the world face. You know, I first remember seeing your work with the UN Refugee Agency. But as somebody who's been traveling around the world, dealing, to, to, to, to to to to to to the world, to the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the the the the the the the the the the, thiiiiuiui, thi, the communities, thioliol-a, thiolioli, 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, and their, and their, and their their the, and threats and threats and threats and threaten, threaten, threats, threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, and their their threaten work with the UN Refugee Agency. But as somebody who's been traveling around the world, dealing with communities that have been decimated in many ways, what do you think we could be doing collectively right now to help not just our immediate community but people out there around the world where it feels like the situation is

helpless? You actually do a really great job of that because you're so international too and also your background and you're biracial and I think where you come from really does play a huge part in the journey that you take. And for me, you know, on both sides of my family, whether it's the Holocaust on my mom's side or, you know, the Liberian Civil War on my father's side, both of my grandparents were fleeing and became refugees. And naturally, my devotion to the refugee agency, I believe, stems from this place of wanting to protect people because I needed protection, my family needed protection. What's really important that we can all do is is whether it's just following the UNHCR or just really paying attention to what's happening

globally, especially with COVID-19. I mean, we're talking about South Sudan, Syria, Yemen, are on the people that are fleeing for their lives, are on the brink of starvation, because they're not getting access to the kinds of support that they need right now. So it's really important that we keep our focus on remembering that we are all together in this and that we're all one community and changing the way people perceive refugees, changing the stigma, changing the resettlement stigma, you know, really working through that idea.

I think it's really important and valuable right now, crucial right now, really. You recently did a vogue beauty secrets video. I try and watch those videos. I'll try and keep up with contouring to see what's happening in the world. But what I wasn't expecting was to watch a video where at the end all of a sudden you flip it and you turn this seemingly benign topic into a conversation about black women, black women's beauty, how the industry has portrayed black women and what we can do to protect not just the the image of black beauty but also the sanctity of being a black woman who has natural hair. Please walk me through that process. Did you Did you do you plan to trick us from the beginning? You know with

everything that was going on that is going on currently in the world with all the racism and you know the lack of protection for black women and the lack of acceptance in Hollywood in a lot of ways of not really profiling, highlighting, celebrating, you know, different kinds of black women. For me, you know, it wasn't until I actually started to really accept myself and really understand what would make me tick and what would make me move was I actually coming into my own power. I think if you accept, if you come from a difficult childhood, if you accept that you come from a broken home, if you accept that

you come from an industry that tells you that you are not black enough, but you're also not wide enough, that you fit in everywhere and you fit in nowhere, and you understand that that is something that you have to walk with. And you have just a different kind of voice, you know, and I want to be to be to be 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 be a to be a to be a to be a to be a thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's, that that that that that that thoomomom, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, thrown, a broken, thrown, a broken, a broken, a broken, a broken, a broken, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, throwne, a broken, a broken, throwne, a broken, a broken, a broken, throwne, a broken just a different kind of power. You have a different kind of voice. And I want to be a voice for the voiceless. That's why I'm working with the refugee agency. That's why I'm doing films like Cutthroat City. And you know, I hope that even through my fashion,

even though it's sometimes fashion can seem so trivial that I can actually, I can do something with it, you know, inspire some girls to be out with your frowat. I think you're doing that and much, much more. CatGram, thank you so much for joining on the show. Yeah. Well, that's our show for tonight.
