♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, may 29th, 2018. we'll co welcome back to "cbs this morning." starbucks is closing stores nationwide so employees can take part in racial bias training. ahead, we'll talk with executive chair howard schultz in studio 57. and the tony nominated stars of the harry potter play will be here too. first, here's today's eye opener. >> millions are waking up in the path of a powerful storm. >> tropical storm force winds extended up to 90 miles outside of alberto's core. >> flash flood watches up through wednesday morning, extending into southern illinois and indiana now and eastward. >> the concern is not just the
8:01 am
danger with the lava here but also these gases. you can see the smoke coming off this flow here as it crosses over the asphalt on this road. >> likely coming to the u.s. to work on the agenda for the summit. this appears to be another sign that the white house and the north koreans really want this summit to happen on june 12th. >> starbucks says closing these stores is just the first step, not necessarily the solution. the training is part of starbucks' initiative to improve the coffee giant's diversity education. >> high fly ball at the track, at the wall. >> his first home run in two years. a two-run shot to win it for the braves. can you believe this? i'm john dickerson with gayle king and norah o'donnell.
8:02 am
>> i believe it. millions across the southeast are preparing for possible flash flooding this morning as a subtropical depression alberto moves north. alberto made landfall yesterday in the florida panhandle, dumping heavy rain and knocking down trees. >> the storm center is now hovering over alabama, but some of its rain bands stretch for hundreds of miles. forecasters say the system will move over the tennessee valley and into the ohio valley and great lakes area during the next 24 to 48 hours. people in alberto's path could see up to six inches of rain in a very short period of time. >> some of the lava from hawaii's kilauea volcano is now moving about 90 feet every hour. new evacuation orders forced more holdouts from their homes, unable to outlast the eruption that's almost four weeks old. a massive new lava flow has burnast ten moreed homes. at more than 80 structures have been destroyed. the eruption is hurting tourism because most of hawaii volcano national park is closed.

visitors spend $166 million a year near the park. in a new documentary about senator john mccain, his daughter meghan confesses to a screaming match shortly after his brain cancer diagnosis. >> he said, i have to go back to the health care bill. i said, what could possibly happen if he gets on a plane? the doctor said that he could hemorrhage, and it can be dangerous if he still has air in his brain and all this crazy stuff. so i freaked out, and i screamed at everyone that he couldn't get on the plane and that i didn't agree with it. and my dad snapped at me and said, it's my life and it's my choice. >> the 81-year-old senator was diagnosed last summer. he flew from arizona to washington just days later and cast the decisive vote to block an obamacare repeal bill. meghan mccain says she reacted the way any daughter who loves her father would. >> i think she's right about that. you know the family well. are you surprised they would get into a screaming match, that she would take the position she did
8:04 am
and her dad take the position he did? >> i think probably not because of the nature of the family. there's not a documentary long enough to capture all the screaming matches. they still, like senator mccain, make up after it's over and move on as a family. >> it was his choice. first on "cbs this morning," starbucks executive chairman howard schultz is in studio 57 on a day when thousands of his stores will close to take a deep look at the racial bias. we'll find out what he learned from the training too. he took it. that's just about two minutes away.
8:07 am
every company owned starbucks outlet in the u.s. will close for a short time this afternoon, four hours, after an incident that shook the coffee powerhouse. >> what did they get called for, because there are two black guys sitting here eating? >> you've likely seen this video many, many times, the arrest of two black men in april inside a philadelphia starbucks. dante robinson and nelson were placed in handcuffs after a store manager called police. they had not bought anything yet when they asked to use the restroom. well, today's closure is part of the company's racial bias training. first on "cbs this morning," we welcome starbucks executive chairman howard schulz. he joins us at the table. good to have you here. >> thank you. >> we were with you in philadelphia the next day after
8:08 am
that incident. you told us you were embarrassed and ashamed. i was telling people i thought your pain was palpable. i'm wondering how you're feeling today. you've been through the training. how you're feeling about how starbucks has handled the situation, what you hope will come out of this training today. >> well, i think, as i share with you in philadelphia, it was a reprehensible situation that we took complete ownership of and something that really was embarrassing, horrifying, and all the issues that we talked about that day. since that time, i think we have decided that we need to use this as an opportunity to really transform the training and the opportunity to share with our starbucks partners, 175,000 people, everything that we possibly can with experts who could co-author with us a legitimate way to provide racial bias training to demonstrate that we all have unconscious bias. i think we're living at a time in america where there is a fracturing of humanity.
8:09 am
and we have an opportunity given the fact that we have stores in every community in america to begin a very important conversation. we've been in business for almost 50 years. this is probably one of the most important transformational moments in the history of our company, and we've taken it very seriously. >> what is racial bias training? >> well, i think most importantly, it's to try and provide the reference and the tools for people to understand that we all have had a life experience, and that life experience has provided us with a level of understanding that may be different than the level of understanding you have. it doesn't have to be about race. it could be about ethnic background, sexual orientation, your station in life. but it's all about trying to provide a level of empathy and compassion and a new level of sensitivity. given the fact that starbucks wants to be a welcoming environment to everyone
8:10 am
regardless of their position in life. >> that's saying -- i'm wondering, what do you intend for people to learn in four hours. some people say, look, sounds great, but it sounds like a marketing ploy to me. >> well, first off, i don't know of any company in america that's ever taken on something at this level. it's interesting to me for us to be criticized for doing it for four hours. it's just the beginning. what we've said to our board, to our shareholders is we're deeply committed to making this part of everything we do. we hire 100,000 new people a year. this is going to be part of the onboarding training. we're going to globalize this. i've been through the training myself, as has all the global leaders. this is something that we're going to stay with. not something that's going to be a marketing or pr. we could have spent marketing dollars a lot different. >> let me ask you about what else you could be doing. starbucks has promised to open a store in washington, d.c., where it does not currently have one. one of the poorest areas in the district. i was talking to an official
8:11 am
from d.c. who said implicit bias training is nice, but more stores in communities of color showing that you put your money where your mouth is would help a lot more in showing a message from the company and to america. so are you going to do more of that, more investment, more opening up stores in places where you normally wouldn't see a store? >> not only are we going to do more of that, but we've opened stores in ferguson, in engelwood, in oakland, throughout america where traditionally a brand like starbucks is not located. we've done this so we can be a beacon of hope for the community. we can demonstrate that it's good business. other companies can follow us in. we're hiring kids -- we've hired 100,000 opportunity youth kids in the last couple of years. these are children who are ages 18 to 24, mostly kids of color, who do not have jobs, and local vendors. we're already doing these things. >> let me ask you what your partners say to you. they say, wait a minute, i'm not reprehensible. i'm just trying to manage a difficult situation in a culture here in my store.
8:12 am
why am i reprehensible? what are you heard from them? >> i think it's very important to say there was never any blame on any one person. i went to philadelphia immediately, and we stood up as leaders of the company and said the company and the leadership of starbucks are responsible. we did not blame anybody. we said the act was reprehensible and we needed to transform our training. this is about leadership. this is about moral courage and standing up and being accountable. what we're doing today is not only have i not seen any company do anything like this, this takes a lot of courage as a public company. we're under criticism from our shareholders saying this is -- >> we're trying to make money here. >> should other companies do this kind of thing? >> i can't speak for other companies. what i've said to shareholders is this is not an expense. this is an investment in our people, in our way of life, in our culture, in our values. >> somebody is always going to be a critic out there, but i think your company deserves a lot of credit for trying to tackle this in a way no one has.
8:13 am
what has your conversation been like with the two men? have you spoken with them recently? >> interestingly enough, they were in seattle on friday where we spent the entire day with them. these are two fine young men. we apologized to them countless times, and what we're doing for them and with them is trying to do everything we can to help them in their own careers. since we offer free college tuition for all starbucks employees, we're giving them that benefit as well. >> people want to know were they compensated? >> they were compensated. obviously we can't release that, but starbucks has done a lot to try and make this right as much as we can. >> we hope you'll come back and update us. >> listen, as you leave us, you'll be heading to the green room. senator elizabeth warren is there. some people could say we're looking at two top con tepidete for the democratic party. >> i think elizabeth warren would be a great candidate. >> okay. >> thank you. >> you can say hello. >> i will.

players, they all lost a couple of tooeeeth. >> looked like he was wiggle his >> looked like a mouth guard.re- he's okay, he's all right. >> just, he's made of granite. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren says if you don't fight, you can't win. she has become one of the democrats leading voices in k . congress. recent poll in new hampshire shows warren would be the front-runner if that state's democratic presidential primary were held today, which would be a surprise to new hampshire voters. she leads former vice president joe biden and vermont senator bernie sanders. her latest book "this fight is our fight: the battle is save america's middle class" is out in paperback, accuses the american government working for the wealthy and corporations at the expense of americans. senator warren, welcome back. there is a north korean official apparently coming to america.
8:34 am
you said the president doesn't look like he has a strategy but looks like he's calling off the summit last week seems to have a little fire under the north koreans, three hostages released so maybe there is a strategy. >> you know, look, north korea is a bad actor, we understand that and the president had already promised that they could have a meeting with the president of the united states, something that both kim jong-un's father and grandfather had long, long sought. then it's been back and it's been forth. i want this to work. i want this to work to reduce the threat to south korea, to japan, to our allies in the region, to the united states of america, to the entire world, but it really takes a strategy, and i look at the comparison with china, look at what china's doing. china's got the long-term arc, and it's playing everybody. it's playing north korea. it's playing south korea. it's playing the united states of america, because it has a
8:35 am
long time whole of government strategy that keeps driving toward an end. at this point, who knows what's coming out of washington? and look, like i said, i hope it all works. >> to john's point there seems to be some sort of strategy that does appear to be working because right now as we sit here looks like the talks are on for june 12th. >> as we sit here, and i hope it happens, i want to see it happen, but you can't take a bunch of disconnected dots, draw a line and say oh that must have beenem what it takes for strategy is you really have a goal, you build up the team to work on that goal. you know, diplomacy is a long and difficult task and it takes people who know what they're doing. the trump administration has decimated the state department, so that the very people who are the experts on the economy, who are experts on the language, on the history, who help negotiate these deals in a way that's going to protect the interests
8:36 am
of the united states, many of those people aren't even there. >> you say you want this meeting to happen. >> sure. >> you trust the north koreans? you believe they will ultimately denuclearize? >> what i want to see, is i want to see this work. if the goal truly is let's see the north koreans give up their nuclear weapons, of course i want to see that, and i hope that the president is successful at that. but that, there's a long space between here and there, and it takes a coherent and executed strategy to get there, and right now, it just looks like it's, what's the latest that occurred to the guy with the thumbs early in the morning. >> is there anything that he's doing, he gets hammered by the democrats repeatedly, is there anything that you can see that he's doing you can say he's doing a good job on that? >> well, look, one thing he is doing, is he gets in, he tries to stir things up. that's good, if you've got an underlying plan.
8:37 am
that's what you really want to see. what are you aiming toward? like i said, you have to do this -- i'm serious about this comparison with a country like china. think about it this way. right now, china is investing 9% of its gdp in infrastructure. roads, bridges, power, right, it's building a future for its economy, for its workers. it's making that economy not only work today but building it for the future. in the united states, what are we doing? we're spending less than 3% of our gdp on infrastructure, while much of it crumbles around us. the consequence of that is because the trump administration gave away $1.5 trillion in tax cuts. there's no money there to add to the infrastructure the way we need to do, to produce those good jobs today, and to help build a better environment for the future. >> senator warren, let me ask you a question about democratic
8:38 am
politics quickly. >> sure. >> david wasser of "the cook political report" did this tally, in the 65 democratic primaries so far with one man and one woman and no incumbent, women defeated men in 45 races, men defeated women in 18. what's happening in the democratic party? >> i has, listen, women are coming into their own. women are using their voices, they're getting in this fight and that's what it should be. the title of my book is "this fight is our fight" and you better believe it. this is a time when two things are changing at the same time. the first is that there is an attack on democracy, and this is something republicans have been pushing for a long time, on voting, on an independent judiciary, attacks on a free press, and at the same moment, democracy itself is rewiring. so that people are coming off the sidelines. they don't look at democracy as something that well, i vote once every four years, people are stepping up, including people who are stepping up to run for office who have never run for office before.
8:39 am
you know, i want to say, i was a little ahead of my time on this. i never thought i was going to be somebody who ran for office. i was, wanted to be a public school teacher, i ended up as a law professor, i was a policy wonk, but people are stepping up now to run for office, to help people who are running for office. they're in the game, and i love it. >> let me ask you about your book which is an argument for something. >> yes. >> now, do democrats, do you face a challenge, which is that a lot of people look at the km democrats, they're just against trump. how do you make the case where we have so much news happening so fast you talked about it in a democracy democrats say that's what you should be talking about others say promoting something before something. how do you work those those two? >> i got into this fight long before donald trump was anything other than the host of a reality tv show. i got into this because i was

watching america shift from a country that really worked for working people, a country that was really about opening opportunities and america invested in kids like me. i went to a commuter college that cost $50 a semester, an opportunity that's not out there for kids today, and what i've watched over time and what i talk about in this book is how this country works better and better for the corporate interest for the executives for the billionaires, who have the money to influence washington, to make it work for them, and as a result, we're getting to be a country that works better and better for fewer and fewer and kicks dirt in everybody else's face. i'm in this to fight back. this is the good part. >> elizabeth warren, 2020, should they start tamaking the bumper stickers? yes or no? >> no. >> senator warren thank you so much. the fight is our fight" is

8:46 am
>> all reviews should be read in that voice. centurian. >> a lot of this is shrouded in secrecy. tell us where this starts off. >> we pick up from the end of the book so we're all parents now packing our kids off to hogwarts and next generation of adventures, but if the books are about coming of age and coming into your own as a person, then the next thing is about how to become a parent when nobody's ever really taught you how. >> and living up to his father's reputation and expectations. >> yes, sure. and harry is nearly twice the age that his father made it to in this play so with no role models, everybody keeps dying on him. so how does he do it? >> noma your casting was a surprise. >> why was that, gayle, why was that. >> she's a person of couple. people were clutching their
8:47 am
pearls. how did you handle that and what did you think? you were a diehard harry potter fan. >> yes. i was an absolute harry potter fan. my joy and the only way i to explain it, john tiffany and sonya friedman said we'd love to you do this part. that's amazing. i had the most extraordinary time in the workshops and the group of actors i got to meet and the few of us from the workshop, jamie and matt later on. >> i'm late to the party. >> late to the party but we'd worked with each other ten years before. because is he harry potter. i am a woman of color and i got the job, and that's the biggest provision i could have, how people dealt with it is other people's stuff. as my friend justin said noma, you could have been awful, awful. >> building you up there. >> and that's reality. let's just do the work and it's a joyous day. >> it's 2018. >> it's 2018 yes and my child is growing up going thank you, you get to play hermine. i love the films and the stories
8:48 am
so we're just doing our jobs. >> and thanks for being here on your day off, by the way. jamie, you're both stepping into roles people have all of these notions about. what is that like? >> i could only think of one other example you get seven volumes of back story before you come on stage with you and people don't know richard iii as well as they know harry the potter -- harry the potter? it will be harry the potter from now on. so i mean, the main thing is kind of the blueprint is there and get out of the way, because when do you ever have an audience that's this big and this hungry to make this sort of theatrical reality take flight. >> they're absolutely prepped. >> i just try to step out of the way of it. >> it's amazing what happens on the stage though. it's the type of thing i wish i had a remind button i could say how did they do that. it's interesting the audience are keeping the secrets. why do you think they're doing that? >> a lovely version of that is because you go why would you be cruel to somebody else?
8:49 am
why would you spoil someone else's fun? >> because people are mean, noma. >> they are mean, but -- >> isn't, doesn't that give you hope? you've had elizabeth warren here on this morning, and we're talking about the best selling literary series ever written. so apparently when it comes to lit tear series more than anything else in the world, human beings want to read this story which fundamentally has kindness at the heart of its narrative. >> i like that. >> that gives me a lot of hope because it's our narratives and our fictions that allow us to build the institutions, by which we can cooperate gigantic numbers and if you have a narrative part led by whoever that gives us -- >> tony night. >> jamie parker 2020. >> thank you guys so much. harry potter cursed child, playing now. >> watch the 72nd annual tony awards sunday at 8:00/7:00 central only on cbs. in the face of senseless violence, we need hope.
