You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts

starting September 17. Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the daily social distancing show. I'm Trevor Noah, and today is day 51 of us staying inside to try and stop the spread of the coronavirus. And here's your quarantine tip of the day. If you're dealing with insomnia, remember, yeah you might be awake at night but you can use those hours to reflect on everything you've done wrong in your life. Anyway, on tonight's episode, why you saw that naked dude riding a bike,

President Trump finally escapes the White House, and why you saw that naked dude riding a bike, President Trump finally escapes the White House, and why you might never eat a hamburger ever again. So let's get into it. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. From Trevor's Couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world. This is the Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor No. Ears Edition. I know these are hard times right now. And while covering yourself in bleach is a truly terrible idea,

exposing yourself to a hefty dose of sunshine may be exactly what you need. Our first feel-good story comes out of South Korea. The birthplace of K-pop and the best place to raise a family in somebody else's house. After successfully dropping their coronavirus cases to basically zero, South Korea has decided that it's time to playball responsibly. Baseball season is underway in South Korea but no fans are there to see it. Posters posing as fans fill the seats for yesterday's opening game of the KBO League.

They may not see anything more bizarre though than this. That's a nine-year-old inside a big baseball bubble. He walked himself from the pitchers mound to home plate to create a socially distant first pitch. Yes, South Korea has found a way to bring back sports in the age of coronavirus. And I mean it looks really safe. Look, don't get me wrong, people are still going to die of boredom. I mean it is baseball after all, but thankfully they're safe from corona. I got one question though.

Why are the fake people wearing masks? It just seems unnecessary. America has already shown that if you're a person made out of cardboard, you don't need to wear a mask. Also, I hope they told the announcer that those fans are made out of paper, otherwise that guy's going to freak out. And there it is, looks like it's a home... Oh my God, that ball just went through that guy's chest. the thoo do this with every sport,

especially the NFL, put players in bubbles. Then when they get tackled, the ball bounces into the stands and then the fans who get to punch the bubble back into the field, tell me that doesn't sound like a fun sport. And you've solved the most inspiring things during these times has been seeing people step up to help out strangers. And some of those strangers are actually turning out to be really old friends. The Irish are returning an old favor in helping Native Americans who have been hit hard by the pandemic. More than 170 years ago the chalk to naught nation sent a hundred

70 dollars to help with Ireland during the potato famine. Now a fundraiser for Navajo and Hopi families has raised over $2 million with many contributions from the Irish. This is so beautiful. More than 170 years ago, the American Indians helped the Irish during the potato famine, and now the Irish are helping the American Indians during coronavirus. Most of my Irish friends can't even remember what happened last night. Oh, I spent 15 days in a precious prison for something I didn't remember. And this is really nice. But if I were Native American, I'd be a little suspicious of any European trying to give me a gift.

I'd be like, yeah, thanks for the money. Well, I want you go ahead and lick it first. All right, any smallpox? Okay, we're good. And finally, some news from Portland, Oregon. The place you'd love to visit, if only your oxen, would stop dying. Every year, the city celebrates world naked bike ride day, with 10,000 people taking over the streets naked on bicycles. And even though large gatherings aren't possible during the pandemic, Portland has announced that instead of canceling the event, they're encouraging everyone to simply go out and ride naked on their own, keeping appropriate distance from other riders and pedestrians.

And I guess this is the one time that people might not care if someone's riding around naked. What are you doing, man? Cover your face, you creep! Put a mask on! And I get that the city of Portland is telling people to ride bikes naked alone, but is that going to work? Because if there's 10,000 naked bike riders, that's an event. But if there's one naked dude on a 10 speed, you just nasty. All right, that's it for Ray of Sunshine. Let's get straight into the headlines. Let's kick the headlines off with one of the growing effects of the coronavirus epidemic.

Meat shortages. As you probably know, many meat processing plants around America have been forced to shut down after their facilities turned into COVID-19 hot spots. And if they can't process the meat, well, then you can't eat the meat. Grocery giants are putting a cap on how much meat customers can buy as the pandemic forces more processing plants to shut down. And at hundreds of Wendy's restaurants,

managers are asking that famous question from a Wendy's ad campaign. Where's the beef? Try ordering your favorite Wendy's burger this week and you may be disappointed. Some of our menu items may be temporarily limited, the company acknowledged today. At one drive-through window you could get an apology but no triple cheeseburger. Yeah, America's beef shortage has gotten so bad that fast food places are even running out of burgers.

And I feel bad for Wendy's. Because not only are they running out of meat, but Wendy even had to trim her own bangs in quarantine. And we've all been there, girl. Now obviously this is bad for meat lovers, but it's also bad for vegans. Yeah, because if everyone is forced to become a vegan, then the original vegans will have no one to look down on. I'm actually a vegan? Yeah, yeah, buddy, we're all vegans now. But if you do love meat, don't be stressed.

Because remember, as long as there's sore dust and pigs butts, you'll always have hot dogs. Hot dogs. Never think too hard about them. Moving on. Remember all those stories about health care workers and how they're struggling to get enough protective equipment? Well now, we might know who's partly to blame. Jared Kushner, presidential advisor and man in a love triangle with his own father-in-law. A whistleblower complaint sent to Congress anonymously claims that FEMA relied

on inexperienced volunteers to find protective equipment as the virus spread, arguing vendors were selected based on personal relationships, not expertise. That effort was led by Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner. According to the Washington Post, Jared Kushner relied on two dozen volunteers from consulting and private equity firms who had little expertise in the tasks they were assigned. The New York Times reports many of the volunteers were told to prioritize tips from political allies and associates of President Trump tracked on a spreadsheet called VIP update. Yes, it seems Jared Kushner fumbled the PPE response by bringing in people whose

priority was pleasing Trump VIPs, including a buddy from Marilago, a former apprentice contestant, and Fox News host Janine Piro. And sadly, this isn't a surprise, because since Trump became president, the White House has started operating like a nightclub. You need connections or money to get in. Everyone's talking way too loud, and there's a lady who's spending the whole time trying to avoid some creepy guy And if you are gonna get help from a TV personality to search for coronavirus equipment

It shouldn't be someone from Fox. It should be Mori. Yeah, because at least he's experienced with testing Corona virus you are not the father. And finally, some strange non-corona news coming out of Venezuela. This morning, President Trump says the United States had nothing to do with an alleged coup on Venezuela. This video that you're seeing shows two American mercenaries who were arrested there on Monday. President Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela claims that the men were sent to that country to assassinate him. Both are former U.S. Special Forces soldiers with ties to a Florida-based security company

named Silver Corp. Silver Corp. CE admitted that he was leading a mission to infiltrate Venezuela and capture President Maduro. What we've learned publicly thus far about this operation this this thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioleeee. thiole. 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 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 thi. that thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. their their their their their their their the.ooooe. the. the. the. the. that's that the. that the. and capture President Maduro. What we've learned publicly thus far about this operation is it appears to be somewhat of a clown show, and not of the caliber one would expect if it were a operation that had been arranged by our intelligence community. Okay, I know this sounds like the sequel to Tiger King, but it's actually true.

Here's what happened. As far as we know, American mercenaries, just a group of random guys who may have worked as security guards at Donald Trump rallies, put together a small team of people, which they thought was going to be enough to take down the entire Venezuelan government. And one reason the operation didn't work out out is that the security company. The security company tweeted about the operation while it was underway. And I don't know what's more embarrassing. The fact that they live tweeted their coup or that the coup attempt only got like six likes.

Ouch. And you know this whole story? This whole story just makes me wish that social media existed in the past because it probably would have stopped a lot of bad things from happening. Like Abraham Lincoln would have been like, honey this John Wilkes Booth guy keeps tweeting me the gun emoji, skull emoji and the top hat emoji. I think we should just stay home and watch Netflix tonight. Oh come now Abraham, one night at the theater the theater is not going to kill you. All right that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the theater is not going to kill you. All right, that's it for the headlines. After the break, we're going to see how President Trump handled his field trip to the Mosque Factory.

So 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 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 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 to Apple Podcasts starting September 17. Trump and his anterrage moved on to the Honeywell factory, where they were given a grand tour of the machinery that helps to make the masks that are being shipped around the country. And you may have noticed that even after Mike Pence's faux par at the Mayo Clinic, Trump decided not to wear a mask while walking around the mask factory. And look, I know he's worried about how he looks, but that makes no sense.

I mean, the mask would literally be the least distracting thing on Trump's head. Everything else needs like nine hours of explanation. Now, the White House's defense is that the president doesn't need to wear a mask, because everyone who comes into contact with him is given a rapid coronavirus test. And if that's the case, maybe Trump should be hosting rallies right now. Yeah, because think about it. Then everyone who touches him will finally get access to a test, and then boom, America's testing problem is solved.

Ha ha! Do we even need Faulchie? I feel like I'm doing all the work. But clearly, Trump was feeling invincible yesterday. Because not only did he hea tha th did something that he's usually too afraid to do. An interview with someone who doesn't work at Fox News. And immediately, they asked him about why his administration had such a slow response. Don't forget, the cupboard was bare. The other administration, the last administration left us nothing.

We didn't have ventilators, we didn't have medical equipment, we didn't have testing. You know, you're three years into your first term. What did you do when you became president to restock those cupboards that you say were bare? Well, I'll be honest, I have a lot of things going on. We had a lot of people that refused to allow the country to be successful. They wasted a lot of time on Russia, Russia, Russia. That thia, that thia, thia, thia, thi that th and that thi thi th. That's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi's 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 to to to to to to toeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. th Russia, that turned out to be a total hoax. Then they did Ukraine, Ukraine, and that was a total hoax. Then they impeached the President of the United States for absolutely no reason. Yeah, according to Trump, he spent three years not preparing for a pandemic because he was distracted by all the scandals he created. Even if Trump did have a lot going on, you gotta admit, man, that's a shitty excuse. You're the president. That's kind of the nature of the job.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I just wanted to run the country. I didn't know I'd have to multitask. And how's Trump going to blame Obama for not having tests for a disease that didn't even happen yet? It feels like any time Trump needs an excuse, his go-to is Obama. He's probably been doing this since he was a kid. Donald, why haven't you cleaned your room? Mom, it wasn't me. It was Obama. Who the hell is Obama?

But more concerning, than Trump's refusal to wear a mask, or his weak excuses about not preparing for a pandemic, was the news that even with corona cases and deaths predicted to skyrocket, Trump has decided to disband the task force in charge of fighting the pandemic. Tonight, as President Trump looks to move past the coronavirus pandemic, he's acknowledging that the White House Task Force is winding down. The Vice President, Mike Pence says the group may disband around Memorial Day at the end of this month.

Can you just explain why is now the time to wind down that task force? Well, because we can't keep our country closed for the next five years. I'm not saying anything is perfect. And yes, will some people be affected? Yes. But we have to get our country open and we have to get it open soon. That's right. For Trump, the priority right now isn't to try to stop the pandemic. It's to open up the country no matter what. I mean, how can you get rid of the task force fighting the pandemic while the pandemic is

still growing? That makes no sense. Can you imagine if they stopped after Fast and Furious Six? How would we know how much more furious they get? Now, there was so much backlash to disbanding this task force that this morning, Trump announced that he would not be disbanding the task force. He said he would allow the task force to continue just with different people doing different things, which makes as much sense as teling your husband, you're not divorcing him. You're just continuing your marriage with a different person who you don't hate. But what's clear is that between his refusal to wear a mask, his weak excuses for not preparing for the pandemic,

and his attempt to kill the task force, Trump's field trip yesterday didn't get great reviews. And by the way, those were just the part of the trip that people actually saw. Because I don't know, do you remember that footage that footage thattour of the factory? Well we got the audio of what was happening. We wiretap all his tires. And it turns out, yesterday could have gone even worse. Mr. President, do you want to start the machine and mix face masks? All you have to do is push the green button. Just the green button right there.

Yeah, the green one. that's th. the the the. the. the. thuuuu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, th. thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu. thoo-a, tape, thu. thu. thu. thu. thoo-a, tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap. tap. tape, tape, tape. tape. tape. tape, tape, tape. tape, tape, tape. We's, tape. tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape, tape. Weaaaa. tape. Weaa. Weaa. tape, tape, tape, tape, there. Yeah, the green one. That's it. It's the only one. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, that wasn't green. That was the red button. But that's okay. A lot of people mix up green and red. No problem. That was the meltdown button. But that's okay. You did the best you could. Why don't you stand over there, Mr. President? Bill, can you disarm a countdown? We got like nine seconds, Bill. Eight, seven. That's our president. All right, I gotta go pee. But when we come back,

Roywood Jr. is on the show, and he finds the creator of the website we've all been looking at. 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. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. You know, for all the global attention Corona has captured, it's been surprisingly hard to find trustworthy sources of information about it. But one website, created here in America, has rarely stood out for its reliability in tracking the virus. And Roywood Jr. went to find out why. If you've been following the news during this global pandemic, then you'd know that the

reported statistics have been as inconsistent as the Wi-Fi at your mama's house. The same Wi-Fi you told her ass speed up a long long time ago, but you get quarantining with your mama during the pandemic. If we didn't do it, you would have had a million people, a million and a half people, maybe two million people dead. But we're going towards 50 or 60,000 people. 100,000 people. 100,000 to 200,000. It's like an auction. But there's one credible source, the number, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, their their their tho, tho, tho, 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. thi. You to 200,000. We have between 100,000 and 200,000. It's like an auction, but there's one credible source whose numbers are trusted globally.

One website tracking the coronavirus has become one of the most vital resources for people seeking accurate and updated numbers on the pandemic. NCOV 2019. Live. And I scored a sit down with its creator Wait, who the fuck are you? I'm looking for obvious shifting I'm afraid that's me How old are you 17? Are you 17 for real just some of that Benjamin Button shit? No, I'm 17 Well if you're the real creator of this website, Ivy if that's your real name? It is

Then explain how you built it? Sure the coronavirus website in particular? It works? It works. It the real creator of this website, obby, if that's your real name. It is. Then explain how you built it. Sure. The coronavirus website in particular, it works using server-side JavaScript, which means, you know, it's kind of like what PHP was, but coded in HTML and CSS. That they have there and add it to a much larger data set and, you know that's these things called a Cron job, so I have that's just, that's, that's th....... It's th. It's th. It's thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, they's their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their c. their c. their c. their c. their c. their c. their c. their c. their c. their, that's just basically how it's- Okay, okay. You know computer shit. Let's move on. Most teenagers spend time making highbrow videos. But this dude chose to make a website tracking a murderous disease. Why?

I wanted to make it like just easy to find the information and thought it would just be helpful to some people. And you know, I started this, you know, very th. th. th. th. the the the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi. thi's th. th. th. th. th. the, the is the is the is the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's the. It's the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. the. be helpful to some people. And, you know, I started this, you know, very late December. But you knew in December? Yeah, around the, around the 29. Avi spotted a crisis before our own government. Despite his superpowers, why would a teenager invest so much time on a website that doesn't have nudity? What are you trying to get into a good college?

Because you have to do all this to get in a good college. All you have to do is lie and say that you was rowing. I mean I already have job offers to do full stack web development. I don't necessarily need to go to college for that. And the job offers. And to to to to to to th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And the job. And the job. And to to the job the job. And to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to have to have to to to to to to have to have to to to to to to to to to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get. because because because because because because. Because to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the to the to the the to the to the to the to the to the to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to get to get million visitors from every country on the planet, even Antarctica. Wait, that's a country, right? With that kind of traffic, I know you said, if you need somebody to help you sell ads. Hire me, man. I'm a good salesman. Well, you know, I turned out eight million dollars to put advertisements on the website, but you know, uh, but there's a... Wait, wait, wait, what you you you you you you you you you you th th th th th th th th th th th th th. I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi! I thi! I thi! I that a... Wait, wait, wait, I thought you just said you turned out $8 million.

You didn't have to be a dumbass to do that. Yeah, I declined it because I didn't want pop-up ads. I didn't want to be forced to keep my website running. Eight million. You said, eight million dollars. You just said, no. Hey, excuse me a second, I'm one minute. What am I doing wrong with my life? He's got eight million on the table. I got nothing, brother B. 17.

He's making all the f-shunds money. Meanwhile, I'm at home in a f-disc desk. I'm back, man, sorry about that. I just think you crazy for turning it down free money. No disrespecting. Two things I got to remember. Avi created a site that offers clarity on the effects Corona is having on the planet. And secondly, I'm a grown-ass man talking to an underage teen online.

I gotta wrap this up. So which countries are handling it better than the U.S.? South Korea is definitely handling this way better than the entire world. I mean, they tested so much of their population so fast. I mean, they didn't have to shut down their country. Meanwhile, you know, I even had school and months, so. So, what do you think we're going to be looking like in September with this quarantine because I got to get out of this house man. Yeah well you know I guess we'll have to wait and see if but you know until there's a vaccine and things things will you know probably still be pretty

weird for a while so till then I'll just have to focus on the future. All right so you've been great with COVID-19 predictions how are you with sports? I got money on the latest. I'm sorry I'm to go.

When we come back, I'll be talking to Chef Jose Andres about his work to help feed people

during the pandemic. anywhere. 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. Ruling? 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. Earlier today, I got the chance to speak to Chef Jose Andres,

whose non-profit World Central Kitchen has served nearly six million meals across the United States and Spain since launching its COVID-19 response two months ago. Well we talked about that and more, so check it out. Chef Jose Andres, welcome back to the daily social distancing show this time. How are you, my friend? I am six feet away from you. We're more than more than six feet away. It feels like every time I meet you it's because there's a disaster

somewhere in the world and like a superhero of food you've stepped in to help feed people. The coronavirus has done more than just shut down people's businesses. It means millions of people don't have access to food. And as soon as I heard about this crisis, I heard about your name and about your organization that has jumped into starting people. We know that you did this in Puerto Rico. We know that you did this after the hurricanes. But this is a unique experience. What are you dealing with right now?

Well, we began many month ago, Yokohama, Japan, Princess cruise ship. Many people had Corona, and Prince's leadership call us, and we went there to help the Japanese government feed the 6,000 men and women in that cruise ship. So from there, we went to Auckland to help the Governor Newsom to also feed the cruise ship. And very early on, because we were following from Buhan, we saw that if the same will happen in other countries around the wall as what's happening in China, what we saw was happening in Italy, the country was born, Spain, America was going to be hit as hard,

if no more. So we began preparing ourselves to think if everything shuts down means people are going to be without work. All of the sudden we have 40 million food insecure Americans. The number is going to increase. Well, all of these things are happening. We are right now doing close to quarter million meals a day. We are already beyond 5 million. We are in many cities in 30 states trying to cover the

blind spots of the system. Elderly homes, first responders, police, firefighters, obviously, hospitals at all of the sudden, they are 24 24-7 overwork. We need to provide meals a night for those nurses and doctors that don't even have time to go back home. That's what we're doing, making sure that wherever there is a big need, especially in the hood zones, we show up with our response even before people can see the problem coming. We are a big army. So many restaurants that are shut down. Every chef, every restaurant wants to be the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses the nurses thors thors thors thors thors thors thorsorsors thors thorsors thorsorsorsorsors nurses thi nurses thus th nurses th nurses th nurses th nurses th nurses th nurses th nurses th nurses th nurses th nurses th. th. th. th. th. that th. th. 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 to to to thi thi to to to to to the nurses. to to to to the nurses the nurses the nurses thi the nurses thi thi thi many restaurants that are shut down. Every chef, every restaurant wants to be part of the solution. We're trying to make sure we create the right response using those men and women where their heart is feeding the

field, but in this time it's also feeding the many. Yeah, you've done something really interesting and that is you found a way to scale your organization during a time when most people are struggling to even keep their organizations alive. Because one of the challenges of coronavirus is, who do you get to help you, where do you get to help you, and how do you find the support? But what you've done is really interesting. Some restaurants have now turned from the usual business to actually helping your central kitchen to feed people that need to be fed in their cities. How did th you th th th th th th th th th you th you th you th you th you th you th you thi thi their thi their thi thi their thi thi thi thi thi their thi thi. thi. thi. thi. their thi. theateateat 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. thi. thi. thi. thr. te. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. thea. thea. their their their te people that need to be fed in their cities. How did you get them on board and how does this actually work? Well, what we saw is that in a hurricane, when we went to Bahamas, the entire northern islands of Bahamas were totally destroyed. But this is a crisis, like it's very different.

We have almost every single restaurant shut down. So we have more than 600 restaurants right now in our system that they partner with us. The donations we get, we channel them through the restaurants. And in the process, we identify at the local level what the needs are. And it is something beautiful when the locals feed themselves, when the local community that know best what's needed takes care of the problem right there. We don't plan, we go and we do it because hunger cannot wait.

The urgency of now is yesterday, and that's what we do. With a lot of these restaurants right now, you know, there's a supply chain that has been affected. And we're seeing it in different ways. I mean, America's beef or pork is going to be, you know, in short supply. We're reading about how farms are producing food, and they don't know how to get that food to people. Is there anything that your organization has figured out in terms of getting this food that's going to be thrown away while there are hungry people because it seems like a paradox you've got so

many people who are going more hungry and yet there's so much more food that is being thrown away? Yes, it's a national security issue and we cannot take it for granted, especially small farmers they used to sell to restaurants. Restaurants are gone. So all of the sudden we have long lines in food banks across America and many parts around the world and farmers that they are throwing their produce and their fruits to the fields. How is this possible? Everything is distribution. So I'm not going to tell you that we came with a plan to do it everywhere in America, but what you do is proof concept. We've already been doing things with local farms

in California, in Maryland, in Virginia, in Florida, showing how it's actually big problems, they have very simple solutions. Find the people that have the best content with those farmers. Make sure that the farmers are able to communicate the access food they are producing that they cannot sell to anybody, and you try to go to one farm and bring it directly to the people. We were doing it in Queens, in Corona. We were doing it in Brooklyn. We've been doing it in parts of LA. We've been doing it in many cities to prove concept. Why? Because who should be coming with a solution is Congress. And Congress is good men and woman on both parties that they're trying to come with the right solutions. But if they pass a bill and they don't

have anybody executing on the ground, that's a mother. The good intentions only are good intentions. So what we're trying to do is proving concept. Guys, take a look at what the right the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. the right. We's the right. We's the right. We's the right. And the right. And the right. And the right. And the right. And the right. And the right. And, the right. And, the right. And, the right.

And te. And te. And te. And they. And they. And their. And their their their the right. And. So what we're trying to do is prove in concept. Guys, take a look at what we're doing. Now, let's pass the right bill. Let's put the right investment into the solution. And let's make sure that the different agencies, USDA, FEMA, or little NGOs like us, we can help the American people by transforming the problem into solution. It's going to be a really interesting time moving forward.

Do you think we can see the restaurant business change? Like I know in LA, for instance, a lot of restaurants are now selling their produce to their customers. So they're saying, hey, we normally cook you a steak, but now we'll sell you our steak, we'll give you access to our suppliers. from what you're seeing from restaurant owners that this could become a new world of restaurants? Obviously the restaurant industry somehow is going to change, but I do believe that we are going to be fighting this virus and things hopefully will go back to normal sooner, hopefully rather later. What is going to happen is that restaurants is more than 800,000 restaurants in

America. Especially the small restaurant owners is this coalition is more than 800,000 thousand restaurants in America, especially the small restaurant owners. Is this coalition, the independent restaurant coalition, that right now we are all fighting in Congress to make sure that the PPP is the right bill to help a small restaurants in America. And what happens? That restaurants, we are the DNA of our communities. Many restaurants across America are open for takeout, but it's no business. Really, they are doing a service to the community. My restaurants are feeding homeless.

Many other restaurants across America are helping the communities. Now we become bodegas or grocery stores. All of a sudden, you don't have to be in a long line in a supermarket. You can go to your local restaurant and buy some asparagus or meat and some flour or even toilet paper. This is smart solutions because I don't want to see long lines in the food banks. We need to diversify the possibilities of people getting food. In every corner across America, in every corner around the world. And so restaurants, we are part of this solution. We feed the few, but restaurants we are here right now 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 the toiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletilet toilet to to to toilet toilet toilet toiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletiletilet to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toilet paper toilet to toilet toilet toilet toilet toilet toilet toilet so restaurants, we are part of the solution.

We feed the few, but restaurants, we are here right now to feed the many. I hope that as we move away from this, I hope that many restaurants will be able to reopen sooner rather than later. But right now, it's hard. But I love that my community, the community of food people in America, we are becoming part of this solution. You know, one thing I've always admired about you, chef, is that no matter what

disaster it is, no matter what you're experiencing with the people you're helping, you always seem, to have an amazing energy about you, you're always pushing forward, you always seem motivated you. Virginia, Virginia, wine of Virginia, supporting my local winemakers. I love this wine. What are you getting up to? Like, what are you cooking right now? I know you always discover something new.

Like, every time I talk to you, you've learned a new thing to cook or a new way to cook because of the crisis that you're experiencing? Is there any new technique that you're using now? Well, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, th listen, this thi listen, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi.a, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho,that you're experiencing. Is there any new technique that you're using now? Well, listen, this morning I made an omelette with a blowtorch. Imagine how bored I'm getting. I'm cooking with my family every day, and I'm lucky because I know many other people don't have maybe the size of a house I enjoy.

And a lot of people are in their homes in very small one bedroom apartment. And when I cook with my families, used to send a message to everybody, you know, things are tough today, but let's laugh and let's hopefully dream that tomorrow will be better. So the way I have is you sharing a moment of family time, laughing, and showing that even a cook like me, that sometimes everybody thinks we're perfect, we can be also messy, things can go wrong. And for me, today I cook with my daughters these blow torch, scramble eggs. And let me tell you, I know everybody's going to tell me I'm crazy, but if I don't cook right now with a blowtorch, scramble X, when?

Now is a moment to take ourselves slightly less seriously because you know we should be thankful that actually we are going all together as with the people through these and together we will move away from this pandemic. So one is from a leg with blow torch at the time I hope and a little bit of laugh is what is going to get us all through this crazy time. I hope that you're right, Chef. I really do. And thank you so much for coming back on the show.

If anybody wants to help you, what can they do? How can people get you the help that you need to help other people out there who don't have meals? Well, go to W.W.W.C.K. that's for Wall Central Kitchen. That org. And there, you're gonna see what we do. Follow us on Twitter and on Instagram. Why? Because we're the type of organization

that we love to show what we're doing, not to show off, but only because we are doing things in the real time. And you know one thing I want to share with you and your people, I was so happy today because I came to America 27 years ago and I made a senator Patrick Moynihan who became a friend and gave me a lot of wisdom. Usually got one idea that can become a bill, bipartisan, breaking bread Republicans and Democrats. It's called the Feed Act. And it's a simple idea. Make sure that the federal government empowers FEMA to support governors and mayors, to bring restaurants and little NGOs like us to come to be the solution to feed the communities in need. That I'm celebrating that we actually,

in this DNA, this moment that seems nobody's working together, that actually, through food, actually, Democrats and Republicans can wreck bread and bring true solutions to America and in many ways to the rest of the world. Chef Andres, as always, an absolute pleasure speaking to you. Look up to yourself, my friend. By my menu. Thank you once again for being on the show, Chef Andres. Well, that's our show for tonight.
