For Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef, former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart was an inspiration for him to abandon his career as a heart surgeon.

But Youssef shut it down in 2014, citing political pressure and safety concerns for his family. Youssef, who now lives in California, joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his new web series for Fusion, "The Democracy Handbook," which explores American political issues including guns.
