1
00:00:06,277 --> 00:00:07,362
Hi, everybody.
2
00:00:07,403 --> 00:00:09,030
Hope you're still safer at home,
3
00:00:09,072 --> 00:00:10,698
just as we are.
4
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:12,784
You know, whenever there's a crisis
5
00:00:12,825 --> 00:00:15,578
or natural disaster, like so many of you,
6
00:00:15,620 --> 00:00:18,498
my thoughts are with those who are
7
00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:20,041
the most vulnerable among us,
8
00:00:20,083 --> 00:00:25,129
those who need just the basics of shelter and food.
9
00:00:25,171 --> 00:00:28,216
I still remember growing up with my mother in Milwaukee
10
00:00:28,258 --> 00:00:31,010
when we were all on welfare, and sometimes,
11
00:00:31,052 --> 00:00:34,806
we needed assistance for our family just to survive,
12
00:00:34,847 --> 00:00:37,267
and during times like this,
13
00:00:37,308 --> 00:00:40,019
so many more people are vulnerable.
14
00:00:40,061 --> 00:00:42,689
This is why I wanted to talk to my guests today,
15
00:00:42,730 --> 00:00:46,901
Chef José Andrés and Claire Babineaux-Fontenot.
16
00:00:46,943 --> 00:00:49,988
These two have partnered with Leonardo DiCaprio
17
00:00:50,029 --> 00:00:52,365
and Laurene Powell Jobs to launch a fund
18
00:00:52,407 --> 00:00:56,077
called America's Food Fund.
19
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:58,121
Before the three of us talk via FaceTime,
20
00:00:58,162 --> 00:01:01,082
I wanted to tell you a little bit about both of them.
21
00:01:01,124 --> 00:01:03,585
Chef José Andrés is from Spain.
22
00:01:03,626 --> 00:01:06,462
He's the owner of restaurants around the country
23
00:01:06,504 --> 00:01:09,799
and the founder of a nonprofit called World Central Kitchen.
24
00:01:09,841 --> 00:01:12,302
And Claire Babineaux-Fontenot
25
00:01:12,343 --> 00:01:16,514
is a chief executive officer of Feeding America,
26
00:01:16,556 --> 00:01:18,808
the largest hunger relief organization
27
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:20,935
in the United States.
28
00:01:20,977 --> 00:01:22,687
While everyone's priority right now
29
00:01:22,729 --> 00:01:24,939
should be to stay safer at home,
30
00:01:24,981 --> 00:01:26,399
I know that there are many people
31
00:01:26,441 --> 00:01:29,444
who are looking for ways to feel useful,
32
00:01:29,485 --> 00:01:30,570
ways to help.
33
00:01:30,612 --> 00:01:33,406
I believe that America's Food Fund,
34
00:01:33,448 --> 00:01:35,200
what we're gonna be talking about today,
35
00:01:35,241 --> 00:01:38,953
is a powerful way to make a difference
36
00:01:38,995 --> 00:01:41,331
for our neighbors who are in need.
37
00:01:41,372 --> 00:01:43,833
I'm sorry. Oh, my God.
38
00:01:43,875 --> 00:01:45,543
-Is this real? -It's real.
39
00:01:45,585 --> 00:01:48,004
I'm so sorry. I got late.
40
00:01:48,046 --> 00:01:50,340
I was feeding all these...
41
00:01:52,008 --> 00:01:54,135
All these amazing people under the bridge.
42
00:01:54,177 --> 00:01:57,472
They're homeless, and they're very chit-chatting,
43
00:01:57,513 --> 00:01:58,765
and I mean, I'm chatting with them
44
00:01:58,806 --> 00:02:01,351
because it was my last delivery of the day.
45
00:02:01,392 --> 00:02:04,437
And I'm like-- and I'm, "Oh, my God!
46
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:05,730
I have an interview with Oprah!"
47
00:02:05,772 --> 00:02:07,649
Well, I love it that you're here.
48
00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:09,066
[José] I'm almost there.
49
00:02:09,107 --> 00:02:10,401
Okay, take your time.
50
00:02:10,443 --> 00:02:11,402
Do not rush.
51
00:02:11,444 --> 00:02:12,654
No, I'm sorry.
52
00:02:12,695 --> 00:02:15,073
I had to disinfect my suit.
53
00:02:15,114 --> 00:02:18,201
I had to-- 'cause I've been...
54
00:02:18,243 --> 00:02:20,662
I've been in a lot of good places today,
55
00:02:20,703 --> 00:02:22,288
and I do homes.
56
00:02:22,330 --> 00:02:24,290
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting-- I'm getting healthy
57
00:02:24,332 --> 00:02:27,001
because I don't want to bring viruses in home.
58
00:02:27,043 --> 00:02:29,546
I'm disinfecting my shoes. I'm almost there.
59
00:02:29,587 --> 00:02:30,547
I'm finishing.
60
00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:33,466
[speaks indistinctly]
61
00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:36,427
-All right. -Okay.
62
00:02:36,469 --> 00:02:38,763
Hi, Chef. Hi, Claire.
63
00:02:38,805 --> 00:02:39,889
-[Claire] Hi. -[José] Hello.
64
00:02:39,931 --> 00:02:42,141
Hi, thank you for talking with me.
65
00:02:42,183 --> 00:02:45,228
This is Claire and Chef José, have partnered
66
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:48,815
with Leonardo DiCaprio and Laurene--
67
00:02:48,857 --> 00:02:51,234
Laurene Powell Jobs, they have,
68
00:02:51,276 --> 00:02:52,819
who is the founder and president
69
00:02:52,861 --> 00:02:55,238
of the Emerson Collective,
70
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,033
to create what you're now calling America's Food Fund,
71
00:02:59,075 --> 00:03:00,201
which is gonna be hosted
72
00:03:00,243 --> 00:03:04,873
by the social fundraising platform GoFundMe.
73
00:03:04,914 --> 00:03:07,625
Explain for us how-- to all of us
74
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:12,255
how this new fund, America's Food Fund, works,
75
00:03:12,297 --> 00:03:14,257
and where will it help?
76
00:03:14,299 --> 00:03:15,633
First of all, that's my first question.
77
00:03:15,675 --> 00:03:18,136
But before you even explain that, I know you--
78
00:03:18,177 --> 00:03:19,637
you were late to this call
79
00:03:19,679 --> 00:03:22,348
'cause you were just out feeding people.
80
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:24,350
I apologize.
81
00:03:24,392 --> 00:03:25,518
No, no apologies,
82
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,770
but you just got in from feeding--
83
00:03:27,812 --> 00:03:30,315
who were you feeding?
84
00:03:30,356 --> 00:03:33,109
Well, I was feeding beautiful people
85
00:03:33,151 --> 00:03:37,655
that sometimes they need in hard moments
86
00:03:37,697 --> 00:03:41,117
somebody just to listen to them and take care of them.
87
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:45,079
So, today, in partnership with AARP
88
00:03:45,121 --> 00:03:47,832
here in Washington, D.C., with my--
89
00:03:47,874 --> 00:03:51,544
the NGO I founded, World Central Kitchen,
90
00:03:51,586 --> 00:03:55,840
we are probably more than 21, 22 cities
91
00:03:55,882 --> 00:03:57,926
in few states, and we are growing every day.
92
00:03:57,967 --> 00:04:01,095
We are doing right now more than 100,000 meals a day
93
00:04:01,137 --> 00:04:03,348
and we're getting ready to maybe reach
94
00:04:03,389 --> 00:04:06,851
in the next days, weeks, over half a million a day.
95
00:04:06,893 --> 00:04:08,728
-Wow. -We're feeding elderly
96
00:04:08,770 --> 00:04:11,147
that all of a sudden they need somebody
97
00:04:11,189 --> 00:04:14,734
to take care of them because the same people or NGOs
98
00:04:14,776 --> 00:04:17,737
or kitchens who were doing it, because coronavirus,
99
00:04:17,778 --> 00:04:20,365
or they are closing or whatever issues,
100
00:04:20,406 --> 00:04:21,908
we are feeding homeless that right now,
101
00:04:21,949 --> 00:04:23,660
they are not in the shelters.
102
00:04:23,701 --> 00:04:26,037
Sometimes we are feeding firefighters that,
103
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:28,706
when they go back after a long day of work,
104
00:04:28,748 --> 00:04:31,834
they go to the supermarket in the early days
105
00:04:31,876 --> 00:04:33,336
and the supermarket is empty
106
00:04:33,378 --> 00:04:36,548
and they need to be fed because they are working 24/7.
107
00:04:36,589 --> 00:04:38,132
Or feeding the police in the park
108
00:04:38,174 --> 00:04:41,761
that they are making sure that nobody is congregating
109
00:04:41,803 --> 00:04:45,431
around the beautiful cherry trees in the city.
110
00:04:45,473 --> 00:04:48,059
So keeping everybody safe by staying at home, so...
111
00:04:48,101 --> 00:04:50,853
I understand that Leonardo DiCaprio
112
00:04:50,895 --> 00:04:54,107
and Laurene Powell Jobs handpicked the two of you
113
00:04:54,148 --> 00:04:57,861
for this job of creating America's Food Fund
114
00:04:57,902 --> 00:05:00,613
because you each bring something different
115
00:05:00,655 --> 00:05:01,656
to the table.
116
00:05:01,698 --> 00:05:04,284
They say that you two,
117
00:05:04,325 --> 00:05:05,869
Feeding America and World Kitchen,
118
00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:07,245
are the perfect partners.
119
00:05:07,287 --> 00:05:09,414
Tell us why you think so, Claire.
120
00:05:09,455 --> 00:05:12,250
[Claire] So, in the middle of a disaster,
121
00:05:12,292 --> 00:05:14,002
Feeding America has already partnered
122
00:05:14,043 --> 00:05:17,046
with a great organization like the one that Chef has
123
00:05:17,088 --> 00:05:18,548
to be on the front lines
124
00:05:18,590 --> 00:05:21,509
in the middle of a disaster providing food.
125
00:05:21,551 --> 00:05:23,511
What we tend to provide would be the food
126
00:05:23,553 --> 00:05:24,888
that someone takes home
127
00:05:24,929 --> 00:05:27,223
and prepares for him or herself.
128
00:05:27,265 --> 00:05:29,309
What the chef and his organization
129
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:31,269
tends to provide would be the precooked food
130
00:05:31,311 --> 00:05:33,897
that people can eat right then and there.
131
00:05:33,938 --> 00:05:37,192
Both are absolutely essential, so I agree
132
00:05:37,233 --> 00:05:40,278
that ours is a great partnership.
133
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,322
You know, I was sharing with you, Claire,
134
00:05:42,363 --> 00:05:45,575
before we started taping, that as--
135
00:05:45,617 --> 00:05:49,245
I've been looking to food banks and communities
136
00:05:49,287 --> 00:05:52,373
where I grew up in towns where, you know,
137
00:05:52,415 --> 00:05:57,962
I've experienced opportunities like, obviously, Chicago
138
00:05:58,004 --> 00:06:00,924
and Nashville and Milwaukee where I grew up
139
00:06:00,965 --> 00:06:02,342
and Mississippi where I grew up,
140
00:06:02,383 --> 00:06:05,845
because I've been looking for ways to get food to people.
141
00:06:05,887 --> 00:06:08,890
What I love about America's Food Fund
142
00:06:08,932 --> 00:06:12,518
is that it becomes the central location
143
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,399
to go to for all of us who are looking to help people get fed.
144
00:06:18,441 --> 00:06:20,485
Tell us how it works, Chef.
145
00:06:20,527 --> 00:06:22,820
[Claire] Yes, let's talk about that.
146
00:06:22,862 --> 00:06:26,533
So, it provides an opportunity to have a centralized place
147
00:06:26,574 --> 00:06:29,160
for people who right now are really struggling
148
00:06:29,202 --> 00:06:30,954
to figure out, "How can I help?"
149
00:06:30,995 --> 00:06:32,539
Yeah, that's what we're all doing.
150
00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:35,917
Exactly, so this fund, by donating to the fund,
151
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:37,877
the monies will be equally divided
152
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:39,546
between both of our organizations.
153
00:06:39,587 --> 00:06:42,799
We're excited that we get to partner together in this way.
154
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,300
And then what Feeding America does,
155
00:06:44,342 --> 00:06:48,012
we've set up our own fund, which this will go into.
156
00:06:48,054 --> 00:06:50,431
It's called our COVID-19 Fund.
157
00:06:50,473 --> 00:06:53,851
And what it--every penny that goes into that fund
158
00:06:53,893 --> 00:06:56,437
is distributed inside local communities.
159
00:06:56,479 --> 00:06:59,190
Feeding America, as a service to our members,
160
00:06:59,232 --> 00:07:01,359
is not taking one dime.
161
00:07:01,401 --> 00:07:03,152
No administrative costs--
162
00:07:03,194 --> 00:07:05,321
of course it costs money to administer it--
163
00:07:05,363 --> 00:07:06,656
we're taking nothing.
164
00:07:06,698 --> 00:07:08,908
At a moment like this, we need to make sure
165
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:11,744
as many resources get directly into local communities
166
00:07:11,786 --> 00:07:13,037
as we can get,
167
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:14,914
and that's precisely what we're doing.
168
00:07:14,956 --> 00:07:16,833
When you go to the website that we have,
169
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:18,751
FeedingAmerica.org, for instance,
170
00:07:18,793 --> 00:07:22,422
there's actually a food bank locator,
171
00:07:22,463 --> 00:07:24,924
and it gives you a chance to isolate,
172
00:07:24,966 --> 00:07:28,386
which community are you very specifically interested
173
00:07:28,428 --> 00:07:31,347
in helping, and you can direct funds
174
00:07:31,389 --> 00:07:33,266
right into that community,
175
00:07:33,308 --> 00:07:35,268
for whatever reason you might love that community--
176
00:07:35,310 --> 00:07:36,936
you might have gone to college there--
177
00:07:36,978 --> 00:07:39,647
we can find a food bank to help you there.
178
00:07:39,689 --> 00:07:41,566
Through this fund, we will make certain
179
00:07:41,608 --> 00:07:43,526
that all of the dollars that come to us
180
00:07:43,568 --> 00:07:46,988
through this fund are funneled down to the local communities.
181
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:49,866
That's fantastic. So you all are doing the work.
182
00:07:49,908 --> 00:07:51,534
You say that there are
183
00:07:51,576 --> 00:07:53,286
three specific groups in our community
184
00:07:53,328 --> 00:07:55,205
who are going to face the greatest threat
185
00:07:55,246 --> 00:07:57,540
of food shortage from this pandemic.
186
00:07:57,582 --> 00:07:59,334
Who are they?
187
00:07:59,375 --> 00:08:02,003
We're talking, obviously, homeless.
188
00:08:02,045 --> 00:08:03,963
Many of them are leaving shelters
189
00:08:04,005 --> 00:08:05,924
because they know about coronavirus.
190
00:08:05,965 --> 00:08:07,550
Some of the shelters are not able
191
00:08:07,592 --> 00:08:09,344
to provide the same services.
192
00:08:09,385 --> 00:08:10,470
And we see it-- we see this,
193
00:08:10,511 --> 00:08:13,556
like, Washington or LA and others.
194
00:08:13,598 --> 00:08:15,767
Obviously, it's the elderly.
195
00:08:15,808 --> 00:08:18,811
We can divide the elderly almost into groups.
196
00:08:18,853 --> 00:08:21,606
The one I was today, which is managed
197
00:08:21,648 --> 00:08:24,234
by Washington, D.C., by the city,
198
00:08:24,275 --> 00:08:27,362
but AARP is a very active partner,
199
00:08:27,403 --> 00:08:29,822
and there you may have entire building
200
00:08:29,864 --> 00:08:33,660
with 200 elderly people in almost 200 apartments.
201
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:35,328
But then you have elderly
202
00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:37,997
that they are living alone in a home.
203
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:39,791
-Yeah. -In a flat apartment,
204
00:08:39,832 --> 00:08:42,209
and nobody's taking care of them because they're afraid,
205
00:08:42,252 --> 00:08:43,545
because they are reading the news.
206
00:08:43,586 --> 00:08:45,838
They don't have anybody going home anymore.
207
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,966
They're afraid to go out for groceries, afraid to eat--
208
00:08:48,007 --> 00:08:50,510
[José] And all of a sudden, we get the phone call
209
00:08:50,552 --> 00:08:52,804
from a family member, somebody that knows.
210
00:08:52,845 --> 00:08:54,806
Some people reach us on Twitter.
211
00:08:54,847 --> 00:08:56,140
Some people on Facebook.
212
00:08:56,182 --> 00:08:59,060
So we have people that are scouting all of that,
213
00:08:59,102 --> 00:09:00,728
and we've been able to be responding
214
00:09:00,770 --> 00:09:02,146
to an elderly couple
215
00:09:02,188 --> 00:09:03,898
in the middle of nowhere, Rhode Island,
216
00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:06,776
or in the middle of Marin County.
217
00:09:06,818 --> 00:09:09,946
This is something like us, we're trying to put into place.
218
00:09:09,988 --> 00:09:11,531
How do we do that so quickly?
219
00:09:11,573 --> 00:09:13,741
Much of the food was being delivered
220
00:09:13,783 --> 00:09:16,369
by people on bikes and motorbikes.
221
00:09:16,411 --> 00:09:20,123
Right now, those men and women that used to bring you and me
222
00:09:20,164 --> 00:09:23,042
our pizza on a Saturday night at home
223
00:09:23,084 --> 00:09:25,753
in a fun day watching a movie,
224
00:09:25,795 --> 00:09:27,380
all of a sudden those men and women
225
00:09:27,422 --> 00:09:29,674
delivering the food, they're heroes.
226
00:09:29,716 --> 00:09:31,634
They're putting their lives at risk
227
00:09:31,676 --> 00:09:33,636
so you don't have to leave your home
228
00:09:33,678 --> 00:09:34,846
and follow the guidelines
229
00:09:34,888 --> 00:09:36,514
of your governors and your mayors
230
00:09:36,556 --> 00:09:38,558
and they're keeping your family fed.
231
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,351
-Yeah. -[José] All of a sudden,
232
00:09:40,393 --> 00:09:43,271
these people that we don't look...
233
00:09:43,313 --> 00:09:45,106
-You're absolutely right. -Almost they are...
234
00:09:45,148 --> 00:09:47,650
they are ghost of the system,
235
00:09:47,692 --> 00:09:49,777
those are the men and women
236
00:09:49,819 --> 00:09:51,821
right now, they're our heroes,
237
00:09:51,863 --> 00:09:53,823
because as our nurses and doctors
238
00:09:53,865 --> 00:09:56,826
are fighting the war in the hospitals,
239
00:09:56,868 --> 00:10:00,413
all of us, we are behind the lines
240
00:10:00,455 --> 00:10:03,249
providing support in many ways.
241
00:10:03,291 --> 00:10:04,542
People like Feeding America
242
00:10:04,584 --> 00:10:06,002
and people like World Central Kitchen
243
00:10:06,044 --> 00:10:08,880
and many other NGOs and private sector,
244
00:10:08,922 --> 00:10:10,882
we are here trying to provide food
245
00:10:10,924 --> 00:10:13,718
and making sure that food will not be the issue
246
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,346
that may cause civil unrest.
247
00:10:16,387 --> 00:10:18,765
Okay, so if I have a person who's just watching this
248
00:10:18,806 --> 00:10:21,684
and I want to participate in America's Food Fund,
249
00:10:21,726 --> 00:10:24,395
what do I do?
250
00:10:24,437 --> 00:10:26,648
[Claire] So, there is a website
251
00:10:26,689 --> 00:10:27,982
that I hope we have right there,
252
00:10:28,024 --> 00:10:29,692
that you can quote for people.
253
00:10:29,734 --> 00:10:32,320
I think the best thing that people can do right now
254
00:10:32,362 --> 00:10:34,030
is to donate to that fund.
255
00:10:34,072 --> 00:10:36,157
Hopefully, having had an opportunity
256
00:10:36,199 --> 00:10:38,952
to hear from me directly, to hear from the chef directly,
257
00:10:38,993 --> 00:10:41,704
and then the remarkable brand that you have,
258
00:10:41,746 --> 00:10:45,500
I hope that all works towards people understanding
259
00:10:45,542 --> 00:10:47,627
that these are organizations that in fact
260
00:10:47,669 --> 00:10:49,212
are on the front lines,
261
00:10:49,254 --> 00:10:51,673
who can make an impact,
262
00:10:51,714 --> 00:10:55,176
who are well-positioned to be good resources for them
263
00:10:55,218 --> 00:10:58,179
as they're trying to be great resources for the tables.
264
00:10:58,221 --> 00:11:00,473
So that's the number one thing that we're asking now
265
00:11:00,515 --> 00:11:03,977
is to go to that fund and donate to the fund.
266
00:11:04,018 --> 00:11:06,563
Secondarily, I would say, please--
267
00:11:06,604 --> 00:11:08,314
So it's a GoFundMe. It's a GoFundMe.
268
00:11:08,356 --> 00:11:11,234
America's Food Fund. GoFundMe, yes.
269
00:11:11,276 --> 00:11:12,694
[Claire] That's exactly right.
270
00:11:12,735 --> 00:11:14,612
The other thing is, and I understand
271
00:11:14,654 --> 00:11:17,156
and I fully believe, I have great confidence,
272
00:11:17,198 --> 00:11:20,326
that we will get past this crisis.
273
00:11:20,368 --> 00:11:23,580
The moment will come when we're no longer
274
00:11:23,621 --> 00:11:26,165
as concerned about our health and safety.
275
00:11:26,207 --> 00:11:28,710
The moment will come when the vast majority
276
00:11:28,751 --> 00:11:30,545
of Americans are employed again.
277
00:11:30,587 --> 00:11:32,672
But even after that's happened,
278
00:11:32,714 --> 00:11:35,884
there will be tens of millions of people...
279
00:11:35,925 --> 00:11:38,177
-Yep. -Who need help.
280
00:11:38,219 --> 00:11:40,763
My fervent desire is that people
281
00:11:40,805 --> 00:11:44,642
not forget about them when this crisis is averted,
282
00:11:44,684 --> 00:11:47,520
because we know that those communities
283
00:11:47,562 --> 00:11:51,357
that are already vulnerable will have the most difficulty
284
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:53,318
bouncing back from this crisis.
285
00:11:53,359 --> 00:11:54,861
I think that's big.
286
00:11:54,903 --> 00:11:58,865
Well, you know, I'm so excited about what you all are doing.
287
00:11:58,907 --> 00:12:03,244
I want to be the first person to go to the website--
288
00:12:03,286 --> 00:12:07,540
it's GoFundMe/AmericasFoodFund--
289
00:12:07,582 --> 00:12:09,709
and I'm gonna donate a million dollars, because...
290
00:12:09,751 --> 00:12:11,669
-Oh, thank you. -Oh, my God.
291
00:12:11,711 --> 00:12:13,004
I'm gonna donate a million dollars,
292
00:12:13,046 --> 00:12:14,714
and I hope you all will join me.
293
00:12:14,756 --> 00:12:16,716
I know everybody can't donate a million dollars,
294
00:12:16,758 --> 00:12:21,054
but I feel like this is the central place to go
295
00:12:21,095 --> 00:12:22,931
if you really want to do something.
296
00:12:22,972 --> 00:12:25,141
Everybody who's sitting at home and thinking,
297
00:12:25,183 --> 00:12:26,809
"I don't know what to do, I don't know how to--
298
00:12:26,851 --> 00:12:29,020
and I don't know where to give my money to,"
299
00:12:29,062 --> 00:12:31,356
I know I can trust my money in your hands,
300
00:12:31,397 --> 00:12:33,858
Feeding America and World Central Kitchen.
301
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:35,235
So thank you so much.
302
00:12:35,276 --> 00:12:37,111
-Wow. -Thank you, Oprah.
303
00:12:37,153 --> 00:12:38,363
Thank you so much, Oprah.
304
00:12:38,404 --> 00:12:39,822
I cannot believe I'm here
305
00:12:39,864 --> 00:12:41,533
being interviewed by you, Oprah.
306
00:12:41,574 --> 00:12:43,076
Of course you can.
307
00:12:43,117 --> 00:12:44,911
No, I can't, I mean,
308
00:12:44,953 --> 00:12:50,083
oh, my God, this feels like Forrest Gump 3.0.
309
00:12:50,124 --> 00:12:51,834
We are, both of us, we are so honored
310
00:12:51,876 --> 00:12:53,586
to be here in your presence
311
00:12:53,628 --> 00:12:57,924
giving this fund this kind of visibility,
312
00:12:57,966 --> 00:12:59,509
and let me tell you,
313
00:12:59,551 --> 00:13:01,386
we are gonna be here together
314
00:13:01,427 --> 00:13:03,930
to make sure that we feed America in this moment,
315
00:13:03,972 --> 00:13:06,641
and we are gonna come up out of this crisis
316
00:13:06,683 --> 00:13:07,934
stronger than ever,
317
00:13:07,976 --> 00:13:10,979
making sure that we don't leave anybody behind.
318
00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:12,438
Thank you. Thank you, Oprah.
319
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,523
And most importantly,
320
00:13:13,565 --> 00:13:16,401
I know you know this so well, Chef,
321
00:13:16,442 --> 00:13:20,655
that giving a plate of food is not just a plate of food.
322
00:13:20,697 --> 00:13:23,408
It's so much more, Oprah.
323
00:13:23,449 --> 00:13:25,952
I do believe that some of the bigger problems,
324
00:13:25,994 --> 00:13:28,496
they have very simple solutions.
325
00:13:28,538 --> 00:13:31,624
A humble plate of food only shows
326
00:13:31,666 --> 00:13:35,378
things like you care, somebody care.
327
00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:36,838
We show up every day.
328
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,007
We tell people, "We're not gonna forget you.
329
00:13:39,048 --> 00:13:42,302
We're gonna be here with you until things are better."
330
00:13:42,343 --> 00:13:43,803
-Better. -[José] And then you learn
331
00:13:43,845 --> 00:13:45,054
about the communities.
332
00:13:45,096 --> 00:13:47,181
You listen what they really need--
333
00:13:47,223 --> 00:13:50,852
not what you think they need-- what they really need,
334
00:13:50,894 --> 00:13:53,396
and this way, you are there for them,
335
00:13:53,438 --> 00:13:57,066
they're there for you, and before you know it,
336
00:13:57,108 --> 00:13:58,943
things are better in that community.
337
00:13:58,985 --> 00:14:01,738
You're putting them in a good place to start.
338
00:14:01,779 --> 00:14:04,449
[Claire] I do want to just share one quick data point.
339
00:14:04,490 --> 00:14:06,534
Before this crisis,
340
00:14:06,576 --> 00:14:10,455
there were roughly 40 million people who were food insecure
341
00:14:10,496 --> 00:14:12,415
according to the USDA.
342
00:14:12,457 --> 00:14:15,043
And we threw away 72 billion pounds
343
00:14:15,084 --> 00:14:17,754
of perfectly edible food, not counting households.
344
00:14:17,795 --> 00:14:20,131
How do we acknowledge it coming out of the crisis
345
00:14:20,173 --> 00:14:23,509
to ensure that we're matching would-be waste
346
00:14:23,551 --> 00:14:26,179
and sending it to bellies instead of landfills?
347
00:14:26,221 --> 00:14:27,597
So that's a lot of the work
348
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:29,390
that we're gonna be doing going forward too,
349
00:14:29,432 --> 00:14:31,809
and we're having to stop and say,
350
00:14:31,851 --> 00:14:34,520
we understand there's a crisis today,
351
00:14:34,562 --> 00:14:37,315
but we've gotta have a considerable amount
352
00:14:37,357 --> 00:14:39,108
of our energy put on,
353
00:14:39,150 --> 00:14:41,402
what are we gonna be doing tomorrow as well
354
00:14:41,444 --> 00:14:42,654
and how are we gonna be better
355
00:14:42,695 --> 00:14:43,988
on the other side of this rather than--
356
00:14:44,030 --> 00:14:45,740
Claire, I think-- I think that's gonna happen.
357
00:14:45,782 --> 00:14:47,909
I don't think any of us are gonna come out of this
358
00:14:47,951 --> 00:14:49,994

361
00:14:53,248 --> 00:14:55,583
