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.
You're rolling?
But that's all about to change.
Like none of this stuff gets looked at.
That's incredible. I'm Seth se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se se. Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z. Z. Z. Z. Z. Z. Z.

Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look,
starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I'm Trevor Noah,
and this is the daily social distancing show.
Today is March 3rd, which means it's still the first week of Women's History Month.
It's a great time to celebrate the achievements of women and also a very traumatic month
for glass ceilings, who have to relive all the times that they've been shattered.
So please, if you see a glass ceiling somewhere, give them a hug.
Anyway, on tonight's show, a look at the debate to raise the minimum wage. We discover the best new streaming service and Texas is open for Corona. I mean business, open for business.
So let's do this people. 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 Noah.
Here's edition. somewhere in the world. This is the daily social distancing show with Trevor Noah.
Years Edition.
Let's kick things off with the coronavirus pandemic,
which at this point is a lot like Gray's anatomy.
A lot of people think it's over, even though it's not.
After dropping for two weeks, new infections are ticking up again.
And it's a real race to see whether the vaccines will take hold before the new variants take us out.
Which is why, even as we enter the home stretch,
it's important people to mask up and keep out of crowds
and not do whatever this is.
There is a lot of concern this morning that some states are rushing to open too soon. Defying the CDC, the governors in Texas and Mississippi
declaring their back in business,
eliminating mask mandates and allowing all retailers
to open at 100% capacity.
States like Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Kentucky also easing restrictions,
allowing larger crowds in smaller venues.
Restaurants, high school proms, even Las Vegas pool parties are set to reopen with fewer
mandates.
Wedding receptions now, they can return in New York in just a few weeks, but there's going
to be some rules as to how you hit the dance for.
New York State promising to enforce dance zones when wedding receptions resume
on March 15th. Under the rules, each dance
zone is supposed to be a minimum of 36 square feet. Guests can share a dance zone only with
other people from their table and members of their household or family. Hold up, hold up,
hold up. So if you go to a wedding in New York, you can only dance with your own
family in your own dance zone? That is a terrible
idea. And I would hate to be the wedding DJ who has to enforce that rule and try and keep
things fun. All right, take it back now, y'all. Ha ha, yeah. Slide to the right. Slide to the right. Yeah, too far, too far. Slide to the left. Stay in your zone. Oh yeah. So look man, this is, this, this, this, this is, this is, this is, this is this is th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th is th is th is thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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 th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the the tea tea tea tea tea tea tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. t't light your asses up! Sight to the left! Stay in your zone!
Ah, yeah.
So look, man, this is a weird rule.
But, at least it looks like Governor Cuomo has finally learned the importance of social
distancing at weddings.
But here's the real question for me.
Why are things reopening all of a sudden? Corona's not over yet. I mean, Texas is still getting over 7,000 new cases a day, but their
governor got vaccinated and now he's like, get those clubs back open, I'm gonna get lit.
Oh yeah.
And I can even understand wanting to open businesses back up because of the economy.
But people, lifting mask mandates, that makes no sense at all, no sense.
Like I'm sick of Corona too.
But this is not the time to ease up on masking, to ease close to the end of the pandemic, we can see it. Why are these
governors letting their guard down? I bet these are the same people who
read tortoise in their hand. They're like, what a great story about a
rabbit who took a refreshing nap. But let's move on to the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Oh, I'm sorry.
You think Joe Biden was inaugurated in January, Sheepel?
Well, maybe you've been reading the wrong internet message boards,
and you're going to find out the truth tomorrow.
The FBI is warning of extremist chatter,
and specifically that there could be another attack on the U.S. Capitol tomorrow.
Q and on followers are at it again.
They have grasped on to another impossible theory.
Trump will take office as the 19th president of the United States on March 4th.
They believe in an old inauguration date in place before the passage of the 20th amendment.
It changed from March 4th to January 20th, only in 1933.
The Trump Hotel has nearly tripled its rates with rooms now going for about $1,300 a night,
both today and for tomorrow.
Oh, man, what a grift. Honestly, I don't even blame Trump. If I was him, I would milk
the shit out of this thing. I'd be charging my guests for things that they didn't even buy.
Wait a minute.
I never bought the Toblerone?
I guess the dams stole that too.
I feel your pain.
And these Q&N people have no one to blame but themselves at this point.
I mean, they've been proven wrong time time time time time time timetime again but they just keep moving Trump's inauguration day a little further back. In a way I understand.
I mean the deeper you fall into something the less you want to admit that you
were duped, you know, which makes you even more desperate to keep the fantasy going.
I mean that's why I'm sure that the next Kanye album is gonna be great. It has to be great. In the meantime though, though, though, though, though, though, though, though, though, though, though, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-I, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, the th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th, I th. thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-i. thr-i. thr-i. thr-i. thr-i. thr-i's thr-i. thr-i. thr-n''i. thr-a. th to be great. In the meantime, though, it looks like Washington
will have to prepare for more riots.
I mean, they might just end up becoming part
of the DC Tour Guide experience.
All right, guys, you just missed the 2 o'clock insurrection at the Capitol
Capitol, but the 4.30 PM will be happening shortly,
so stick around. And remember do not feed the capital riders. Okay and
Finally Amazon, the only place you can get a monthly subscription of refrigerators.
We all use Amazon every day. Well, I mean, except me, I only shop at my local independent bookstore.
So important. But people who do use Amazon might have noticed something a little different
the last time they went to open the app on their phone.
Amazon has changed its new app logo after critics claimed it resembled Hitler's
facial features. At issue was the blue tape above the smiling arrow.
Critics said the icon looked like Hitler's mustache. The company has now tweak
the image so the tape is folded not rigid. Wow. First Dr. Seusssese, and now, the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thpe is folded, not rigid. Wow. First, Dr. Seuss, and now Adolf Hitler.
Cancell culture is getting out of control.
Come on, people.
This was obviously an innocent mistake.
You should give Amazon's graphic designer a break,
because he's probably not allowed one on his shift.
And to be fair to Amazon, everything looks like Hitler. I mean, there are cats that look like Hitler, fish that look like Hitler. Hitler. H Hitler. H Hitler. H Hitler. H Hitler. H Hitler. H Hitler. H Hitler. th. th. th. the Hitler. C Hitler. C Hitler. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. Cancel, cancel. C. Cancel, cancel. C. C. C. Cancel, cancel. Cancel, cancel. C, cancel.

I mean, there

There was this super old guy I met in Argentina last year who looked a lot like Hitler. Like
he, oh, wait a second. I mean, if we're going to go after app logos that make
you uncomfortable, well then you know who we should be going after? Instagram. Yeah, because every time I tap it,
I feel like I'm sticking my finger in a robot's butthole.
Oh, you tell me you've never noticed that.
Tell me you've never noticed the same thing.
But let's move on now to our main story.
One of President Biden's top priorities in his first month in office
has been passing a coronavirus relief, relief bill, which makes sense. I mean people spent an entire year having to smell their own breaths, the least they can get in return is some compensation. Unfortunately though,
to actually get the bill passed, Biden needs the support of the United States Senate.
And they're about as supportive as a YouTube comment section.
Just today, Biden announced a new income limit on who will be getting those $1,400 checks
because moderate Democrats
objected to the cost of the bill.
And that's after one of the most popular pieces of the bill has already been stripped
out.
President Biden's bid to double the federal minimum wage apparently will not be part of his
COVID relief package.
Democrats plan to pass the president's plan through a budget process called reconciliation. That allows Democrats to pass a big package in the the bill the bill bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill bill the bill bill bill bill the bill bill bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill. And the bill the bill. the bill. And the bill. And 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 cost. And the cost. And the cost the cost the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill the bill. the bill the bill. the bill. the bill. the cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost. the cost. the cost.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c. the toeau.c. And toeau. And the the the the the to pass the president's plan through a budget process called reconciliation.
That allows Democrats to pass a big package in the Senate with a simple majority, but
the trade office that the bill can only involve taxing and spending.
The nonpartisan Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough decided the minimum wage provision
didn't meet that standard.
That means it is going to be impossible for senators, the Democratic senators here to pass that bill through the Senate because
there are certainly not the 60 votes necessary to do it as part of that
package. Damn, who knew accomplishing nothing could be so complicated. But yeah,
apparently thanks to the rules of the Senate and the ruling of the Senate parliamentarian, the stimulus bill can no longer contain a raise in the minimum wage....... And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. the, and the, and the, the, the the, the, the thii, thi, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the the the thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, the the the thi, 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, thea, thea, theaxauauauaxa'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, thea, thea, th parliamentarian, the stimulus bill can no longer contain a raise in the minimum wage.
And if you're wondering what a Senate parliamentarian even is,
well, they're basically the loser who actually reads all the monopoly directions
before the game starts.
And because of that, they get to block legislation.
It's just kind of weird that America goes through this whole grueling election. Like, it's this four-year-long process. Who's it gonna be?
We're voting, we're debating.
It's a process to choose everyone who makes the laws.
And then there's just this one unelected person
who can overrule them all.
You know, like, I don't remember Abraham Lincoln saying, this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as long, as the people, as the people, as the people, as the people, as the people, as long, as the, as the, as to, as to, as the, as the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, 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 the the the the to to the the to to to the to the to, to, the to, to, the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, for the people as long as it's cold with Liz. Yes, Liz? So why is there such a bitter fight over the federal minimum wage?
Well, you're about to find out in our brand new segment. Let's get fiscal.
A federal minimum wage is not a new idea in the United States.
In fact, America has had one since 1938. A federal minimum wage is not a new idea in the United States.
In fact, America has had one since 1938, when all workers were guaranteed 25 cents an hour.
It was a guarantee that no matter how menial a job you had, you could always afford to play
a round of Street Fighter 2.
The problem is that while a lot has changed since then, the minimum
wage hasn't changed as much as you might think.
This is a chart of the minimum wage in the United States over the past 60 years. You can
see how it's gone up and up and up from a dollar an hour in 1960 to $7.25 today.
If you take the same line but adjust it for inflation, you'll see the problem. Every time the minimum wage has been raised, inflation has dragged it right back down.
Really, America's minimum wage hasn't gone up. It's essentially stayed the same since the 80s.
The current federal minimum wage hasn't moved since 2009.
It's the longest time the country has gone without raising the minimum wage.
Look at this. To feed a family of four for a week in 2009, you'd have to work 17 hours on minimum wage.
Now it's 20 hours.
To pay your monthly rent, 116 hours back in 2009, 151 hours in 2019.
And to pay a year of medical bills, you'd have to work 285 more hours in 2019 than you had to work in 2009.
Yeah, that's right.
The minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009.
And when you account for inflation, it actually hasn't gone up since the 1980s.
I mean, think about that.
The last time the minimum wage had really been raised, we were all out in the streets
doing panzula.
I mean, that's what we were doing in South Africa.
Like, the 80s didn't just happen in America, you know.
And while the minimum wage has remained stagnant,
the prices of everything from rent to health care have gone way up.
So if working a minimum wage job in 1989 could pay for a heart transplant,
now all you can afford is having one of those candy hearts taped to your chest.
And even then you've got to buy it on credits.
Now raising the minimum wage is an extremely popular idea.
And 59% of Americans think that it should be at least $15 an hour.
But in conservative circles, a lot of people think that some workers simply don't need
any more money. It's not about like who's starving and who's not.
It's about the minimum wage is designed
as the first rung on the ladder
to get people in the workplace and then up.
It was never designed for someone to feed a family on.
It was never designed to be a 40 hour a week wage.
My nephew here in Cleveland, Ohio right now,
he's working an $8 or $10 an hour landscaping job for the summer.
That's not a living wage, but it shouldn't be.
It should motivate him to keep going after something more.
My grandson works at McDonald's for minimum wage in Arizona.
He doesn't need to make $15 an hour.
The wage and place for entry-level employees is so that they can get a job. If you're supporting a family at four, you definitely shouldn't 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, thi, thiol-a thiol-a-a-s thioliolv' tho-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi-s, thoooo'-s, tho'-s, tho'-s, tho'-liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii for entry-level employees is so that they can get a job.
If you're supporting a family at 4, you definitely shouldn't be working a minimum wage job.
Here's the thing. Opponents of minimum wage increases can pretend that the only people
working these jobs are 16-year-old is just trying to save up for a bag of weed that's actually
origino. But the truth is, half of the people who benefit from a minimum wage increase are between the ages of 25 and 54, and over a quarter of them have children.
I mean, it would be nice if only teenagers had to work these jobs, just like it would be
nice if teenagers were the only ones who ran away from home when life got too tough.
But that's just not reality.
And you'd think this would be easy for politicians to understand. But the problem is a lot of them just aren't looking at the data. Instead,
they're reminiscing about how things were when they last worked a minimum wage job.
Growing up in a small town, I worked for less than the minimum wage.
I started busing tables at a dollar an hour. I went up to two and a quarter when they move me up in the place in in the place in the place in the place in the place to the place to to cook to cook to cook to cook to cook to cook to cook the place to cook to cook the the the to cook the the the the to cook the to cook to cook to cook the to cook to cook. to cook. the the to cook. to to 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. te. tea. toda. today. tea. I. I. te. toda. toda. te. today. today. I. I. I. I. their. I. I. their. tables at a dollar an hour. I went up to two and a quarter when they moved me
up in the in the place and then I finally made it to cook which was big time
that was six bucks an hour. My first job was also working for minimum wage at a
cell barn a dollar sixty an hour in 1976. That's right I was scooping
cow manure for a dollar sixty an hour but within a month's time I'd worked myself up, I got a dime raise, I worked with about 15 other high school classmates
through high school and junior college and help me not have any debt when I
finished college as well. Yeah I used to work minimum wage shoveling shit.
And now look at me I get a senator's salary for shoveling shit.
The irony is that without realizing it, these guys are making a great case for raising
the minimum wage.
If the minimum wage these senators earned back in the day had kept pace with inflation,
it would be way higher than the 725 that it is now.
And it's great that Senator Marshall left college debt-free thanks to his cow-poop
side hustle. But that's because back when he graduated, his college cost $900 a year. That's what these
old dudes don't realize. When they tell these stories about I had to walk 10 miles from my house,
all young people today thinkers, God damn, you could afford a house? Man, that's bawling.
So, despite how some people think of the minimum wage,
there are many adults who do need to live on it.
Now, that's not to say that raising the minimum wage is a magic bullet,
because it turns out it does have a few downsides.
The Congressional Budget Office finds raising the federal minimum wage would pull 900,000 people out of poverty and give about 27 million workers a raise, 27 million, but it comes
at a cost. The CBO says that increase would cost 1.4 million jobs and and raise the federal
deficit by 54 billion dollars over a decade. So there's a trade-off here.
That's right. If the CBO projections are correct, then raising the minimum wage to
$15 an hour would
help millions of people, but it would also mean fewer jobs overall.
So you can't ignore that there may be some trade-offs here, but then again, that's the case
with all policies.
I mean, if you ban assault rifles, it'll save lives.
But then, Don Jr. would have nothing to pose with to let people know how big his penis is.
So look, there is nuance there. But if you ask me, if a job cannot exist unless it pays unsustainable wages,
then maybe that job shouldn't exist. Like, maybe America has to find another way to help those people losing those jobs,
or the businesses who need those jobs. But America needs to do something way to help those people losing those jobs, or the businesses who need those jobs.
But America needs to do something about the minimum wage, because the solution can't be
maintaining the current situation where you work full-time and still can't make ends meet.
I mean, if that's allowed to continue, America will be in such deep shit that even
a senator couldn't shovel out of it.
All right, when we come back, Roywood Jr. the to reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals reveals the hot the the to to to to to to to th, th, th, th, to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, America, America, America, America, America, America, America, America, America, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th.

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 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.
Earlier today, I spoke with actor Kelly Marie Tran.
We talked about going from Star Wars to portraying Disney's first Southeast Asian princess in Raya and the Last Dragon.
Kelly Marie Tran, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to be here. Thank you so much.
The last time we spoke, we were talking about the journey that you had had, you know, being part of Star Wars,
being the face of what many felt like was like bullying online.
You know, people were like, this is part of the biggest problem that we have on social media.
Since then, your life seems to have been like really peachy. Before we talk about making a new Disney movie,
I want to know as one of the few who's doing it,
what is the world when there is no social media?
It's amazing.
I mean, okay, I will say this.
I do have like a lurker account
because I want to know what's going on in the news.
Like an active citizen of the world, right?
But not having to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to be 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 the the, right? But not having to constantly be sort of publicly on it
is the best thing I've ever done for my mental health.
I will say that, yeah.
So you're saying that you don't wake up every day
with people just telling you that they hate you.
This is not a thing that you do.
No, no, that's not a thing that I do. Wow. I don't know what that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's like, I's like, I's like, I's that's that's that's that's that's thi. that's thi. thi. thi. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that I. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's not. that's not. that's not. that's not. that's not. that's not. that's not. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thii. th. th. th. thiii. th. th. that's not th. I don't know what that's like. I wake up every morning and I check and I'm like, yep, they're still there and then I start my
day. Well now I feel like I'm gonna use my lurker account just to be like,
we love you, we love you. No, don't do that. Don't even do that. I like the haters because then I go like at least they see me. They. they they they they they they they they they they th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th the. the. th th th th th th th th th th. th th. they they they they they they 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 like. they're like. they're like. the. the. the. that. that. that. the. the. the. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're me. You've had an amazing journey. I mean, not being in, you know, it's not just
one, not two, not three, but it's going to be like, what, four Disney movies? You just
like, the Disney darling right now, it feels like, the movie's Raya and the last dragon.
Tell me a little bit about the story. I mean, I've watched it all, but I don't want to spoil anything for people. So it is about a the theaya, who is technically a princess,
but I think what's really cool about this movie
is that we're really sort of flipping the narrative
on what a princess is.
She's actually really a warrior.
And she comes into the world and sort of has this really
idealistic way of viewing the world,
and then the world breaks apart.
And then she starts really distrusting everyone. The whole is 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, thi, the thi, thi, 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, the, the, the th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, throooooooooooooooo, and, the. thi, thi, thi, thi, and, and then she starts really distrusting everyone. The whole movie sort of is her journey on figuring out how to find the good in the world
again and figuring out how to trust people again.
The whole story is about how the world was working and then everybody started believing
that in order for them to succeed, other people have to fail, and that's when the
world starts falling apart.
And it feels like that's the world we's, thapay. What's also cool is that you know we live in a world where everybody who is
generally not white gets put into like one category like with Asian is just like,
you're Asian, we're done. But what's cool about the movie is it's like no, it sort of
tells the story of real life where it's like hey this is not a monolith, this is not homogeous. There th. th. th. th. There. There. There. There. There. T. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, th. T, th, th, th, th, th, their, th, th, thi, their, their, th, their, th, their, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, the world, th, th, th, th, th, the world, th, the world, the world, th, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, their is their is thi. thi. thee is throooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeee. thi. thi. the, You know, obviously this story takes place with a South Asian perspective,
but it is still a story about like all different people coming from the Asian sphere.
You know, there was so much research done to make sure that this specific part of the world
was honored in a really authentic way. So to be able to be part of that and to be able, like you said,
to sort of shine a spotlight and all these thi thi spi spi spi spi, like thian spi, like thian, like thian, like thian, 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, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to to to sort of shine a spotlight and all these really specific things. Like not only are we talking about the specific fabrics that people wearing from the different
tribes, but also the type of martial arts that you're seeing depicted is specifically from
this region of the world and the food and it goes on and on, so to be able to be part of that and recognize how, I guess how important it was, I guess how important it was, I who was really starved to see herself as a kid.
You know when I was watching the movie I was thinking it's so amazing how like in this
films especially Disney just hit on like all the perfect notes.
So like you said, the costumes are phenomenal.
The acting is amazing.
Like the landscapes that we get to see of all the different places and the cultures and
then you have dragons on top of that. Like, we love drag.
Right, I mean, it feels like the perfect combination of everything,
but you made the movie in less than perfect circumstances.
I mean, everybody was at, in like remote locations,
everybody, where were you recording your parts?
Because I don't think everybody was together, right?
No, I actually, yeah, I really didn't get to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to interact to really didn't get to interact with Aquafina at all until we started doing press-over zoom.
So a lot of, we were all completely isolated.
I was working out of my boyfriend's apartment and we basically taped sound blankets to
the wall and like put chairs in like, it was not glamorous.
Like it was fully just a makeshift fort in his bedroom
and that's where the majority of this movie was recorded.
Did you ever have those moments,
because I know I have doing stuff at home,
where you're like trying to be really serious,
you're in the zone, and then all of a sudden
there's like a postmates or Uber eats or something,
and you have to like stop, have you had any of those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those filming like Raya? Oh, fully, yeah. Deliveries, and then also just like
the sounds of construction outside
or the internet cutting out.
Yeah, yeah, and also like,
voiceover is so weird because you have to do
all these like grunting noises
and screaming noises.
I still live in an apartment, so I was like, my neighbors probably think I'm getting
murdered or I'm doing some crazy stuff just like doing all these crazy grunting fight sounds and screaming no at
the top of my lungs like 10 times in a round. So when you're doing this do you
just stand there stoically are you like yeah ha ha or do you try and do you
try and do the moves to the move? Okay so I'm fully originally like the end of the movie I don't spoil to much but 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 the the th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. thr-I I thr-I thr-I thr-I thr-I is tho. tho. tho. tho tho tho tho thr-I tho tho tho thr-soe. tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. the-n the-n the-n the-n the-n the-n the-n the-n is the-n is the-n is the-n is the-n is the the te te te an te an te an tean tean tean tean te an tean te an te an te an te te te try to do the moves like there's that scene at the end of the movie. I don't want to spoil too much, but you know, it's like a very big fireman.
And she's got a sword and she's like and I'm fully like behind the microphone like stabbing around me like.
And then I would get in trouble because I would move too far from the mic. So then I'd have to like I feel comes at a perfect time for, I mean, a number of reasons.
One, we're all stuck at home.
It's amazing to see like Blockbuster movies and get to enjoy them at home.
Two, it's a beautiful film, you know, and people love Disney movies,
but it's also like the timing of who the movie is about.
You know, right now the Asian community in America is facing one of its toughest times
where hate crimes are just skyrocketing.
Many, you know, prominent Asians in Hollywood saying, hey, we need to fight against this, everybody
needs to step up, and I've seen people on social media saying, let's work
together to do this. What do you people who just watch movies and might have a subconscious
understanding of what they're seeing.
Exactly what you said.
When you make a movie like this, you cannot control the environment in which it's going
to be released in.
You've absolutely no idea what kind of world you're releasing into.
So to be able to be a part of this movie right now when the news is a con-like, you know because I'm lurking, lurking, lurking, lurking, lurking, lurking, lurking, li, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the king, lurking on the internet, I know.
It's a constant barrage of attack after attack.
And I know for me, like, I just really hope that this is a moment where we can come together
as a community and really recognize the pride and the joy that comes with celebrating where
we're from. We live in a world telling us we need to be afraid and we need to hide and we have to be ashamed
And to be part of this movie that is so clearly celebrating
Instead of hiding feels like such a proud moment for me
And I hope that it's one that the community can celebrate. There's also another community that's gonna celebrate it on top of that and that is gonna be Women and little girls everywhere because I mean you know one thin. th th thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th is th is th is th is th is th is th. th. th is th is th is th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the is the is the is the going to be women and little girls everywhere. Because I mean, you know, one thing people have always said about Disney movies is they go
like, and Disney themselves have made fun of it in movies like Rekit Ralph, is where like,
like, the princess is always helpless and always waiting to get rescued.
And you watch this movie and it's just like, no, people are just kicking ass.
All different types of women, all these princesses as we know them, but it's like, no, these are warriors who just happen to be the daughter of the ruler.
Yeah, which I am so stoked about.
I mean, I think something that was really important
to me coming into this,
and also really important to Disney as well,
is we really are really trying to change that narrative.
Like, what do people think when they they think of the word hero? And you're seeing Raya and Namari and all these other characters,
and I really do think they're sort of broadening the idea of what instinctually people think when they think of those words.
It's so cool to be part of that change.
You're going to carry on your life now. You're going to be lurking online. You're living your life. It looks like it's like it's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like.

It's like. It's like th. It's like th. It's like th. It's like th. It's like. It you give to young people out there who feel like they have to be on social media to stay connected with their world but also suffer
with the enduring abuse that might come their way?
Yeah, I mean I think it is, you know, a decision that everyone needs to make on their own
individually. But I will also say that there are boundaries that you can set for yourself, whether that's thi their their their their their their their their their their their thiiiii. thi. thi. thin is thin. thi. thin. thin. thi. thi. tha is than't than't is than't tha. than't is thau. thau. thau. thau. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be boundaries. to be boundaries. to be boundaries. to be boundaries. thoes. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin is is thin. thin. tha is tha is than't is than't is thau. thau. thau. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. that's making sure that certain words, if comments are being left on your public page, that those don't get through, or time limits.
You know, we've had all these documentaries talking about the addictive nature of social media
and what it's actually doing the change of our brains.
We can talk about what is a healthy time limit for us, so we can make sure that we are engaging with our community and being active members of society, the the the thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, th.... And, th. And, th. And, 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. And, th.

And, thi. And, also not having to do that at the expense of our own mental health.
I just think it's a good conversation for us to be having at all because it feels like
for a lot of people, it's almost an expectation without a discussion.
So to be able to have the discussion with yourself and with your friends and the people
around you, like how can I do this productively but also make sure that I am mentally in a place where I'm happy.
These are good conversations to have.
Most definitely.
Good conversations to have and a good mental space to be in.
Kelly Marie Tran, thank you so much for joining me on the show.
