presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." i don't know about you. my favorite working mother this morning is serena williams. >> serena williams, for sure, for sure, especially wearing the cat suit. the way she wore it and why she wore it. it's important. >> and sent an inspiring message. >> the dan idea is not a bad the idea. some people say we'll see. we'll see. roseanne barr sent a twitter hours after abc cancelled her hit show. she issued a new apology about her tweet about one of president obama's closest confidants. she said, i'm sorry for my tweet but also wrote i'm tired of being attacked and belittled more than other comedians who have said worse. >> abc moved very quickly to pull the plug on barr's number one sit-com after she tweeted that valerie jarrett, who is

black, was a product of the muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes. abc called it reb burepugnant. >> vladier duthiers is here with the fallout and valerie jarrett's response. good morning. >> good morning. she was also dumped by her agents and three other networks pulled the reruns of roseanne off the air. abc now facing a gaping hole in its fall schedule. it stands to lose millions in advertising dollars and hundreds of jobs. roseanne barr's racist tweet was so offensive -- >> my little loser. >> reporter: -- it forced about to do something almost unthinkable -- pull the plug on its number one show. >> housekeeping. >> reporter: valerie jarrett, the senior obama adviser barr compared to an ape told the town hall last night she received a personal apology from disney ceo bob iger. >> he said he had zero tolerance

for that racist bigoted comment and he wanted me to know before he made it public he was canceling the show. >> reporter: last night after retweeting several bizarre tweets from fan that is came to her defense, barr tweeted, guys, i did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. it was 2:00 in the morning and i was ambien tweeting. it was memorial day too. >> reporter: late night hosts weighed in. even jimmy kimmel weighed in. >> roseanne compares an african-american former obama adviser to an ape which did not sit well with abc management or anyone with a brain really. >> reporter: the reboot drew 25 million viewers its first week. president trump has credited the show's high ratings on shows that focus on issues that resonate with his supporters. >> it was about us. >> i think they knew what they were getting into with roseanne. >> reporter: "entertainment tonight's" kevin frazier said trying to reach trump supporter, abc took a huge risk of roseanne

barr who outside of her support for mr. trump traffics in right wing conspiracy theories and once compared susan rice, another african-american obama official, to an ape. >> what does this do to those attempting to catch the trump train? >> this was a first attempt that was wildly successful, so i don't think it will be the last. >> the talk show host sara gilbert who plays roseanne's daughter tweeted. i am disappointed in her actions to say the least. fellow comic rosie o'donnell called the tweet racist and childish but added, i love roseanne quite a bit. >> it will be interesting to see what they say on "the talk" today. i'm sure sara gilbert will address it. i think people are stunned and praise bob iger for responding so quickly. they said there was no debate, no talk, no resistance. full stop. it's over. it's stunning. >> it is stunning. there will be some people who are upset because they love the show and the representation of their values, they feel. this was swift and decisive action.

>> it's not tolerated. >> and you don't want somebody representing your ideas like that. saying racist things. >> thank you. we're following an emergency in western north carolina. the threat of an imminent dam failure is forcing people out of their homes in asheville. more than 2,000 people are affected. the dam was compromised when it was hit by landslide due to heavy rainfall. six inches of rain fell in just hours. another one to three inches of rain are expected today. several landslides have been reported. one shut down part of interstate 40 overnight. harvard researchers say last year's death toll from hurricane maria is dramatically larger than reported. the study from the new england journal of medicine estimated more than 4,600 people died in puerto rico. the official government death toll is just 64. david begnaud reported extensively from puerto rico on the hurricane. he's back in san juan this morning. david, good morning. >> reporter: john, good morning. we're in one of those districts

in san juan where researchers randomly went door to door, knocked and asked if anyone died here. there were more questions than that but that's how it's gotten started. with a $50,000 grant from harvard, six weeks of work and a headline on a death toll that's stunned people. puerto rico's governor ricardo rossello was stunned. he's a scientist and seemed blindsided. >> it was sub par and we recognize it. >> reporter: doctors tell the government if a death was caused by hurricane maria. families have to petition the government to investigate if they disagree with the doctor's opinion. those brown dots show where the harvard study researchers surveyed more than 3,000 homes around the island and found the mortality rate rose 62% in the three months after hurricane maria compared to that period the year before. researchers concluded final death count could be as high as 8,500.

domingo marquez was a lead author of the story. >> reporter: what was the death toll related to the storm? >> one third of the deaths were reported because of lack of medical treatment. >> we saved a lot of lives. >> reporter: during his visit to puerto rico last october, president trump hailed the low death toll, which at the time was 16. >> you can be very proud of all of your people, all of our people working together. >> reporter: in light of the harvard report, a white house spokesperson said the people of puerto rico deserved nothing less than transparency and accountability. >> the negligence that allowed those lives to be lost needs to be accounted for. >> reporter: san juan mayor carmen cruz has blasted mr. trump for being tone deaf and slow to respond. when asked to gauge her own response, she said -- >> i know we didn't get to everyone. we did the best we could, but that wasn't good enough. >> reporter: here's why this

story is more than just about a shocking number. every time a government official certifies a death has been directly related to hurricane maria, the family of the person who died is then eligible for the federal government to help pay for funeral expenses. gayle, that's why these numbers are so important. >> you said it best. it's also very shocking and painful to hear. thank you very much, david begnaud, reporting from puerto rico again. fast moving lava from hawaii's kilauea volcano forced new emergency evacuations overnight. the most active fissures shooting molten rock hundreds of feet into the air. lava has now destroyed 112 structures including 71 homes. carter evans is in hawaii where an important roadway was blocked. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. you can see this tremendous fountain behind me now. it's blasting lava up to 200 feet into the air. this is the most active fissure producing massive lava flows that's cut off major

highways, shut down a major power plant, and destroyed dozens of homes. the molten rock exploding from the ground is creating rivers of lava, continuing to devastate this community and literally change the landscape. one of the first things you notice when you're standing next to a lava fountain this big is the intense heat. i can feel it radiating on my back. much of this lava is already cool enough to walk on. the lava forced a closure of highway 132. it leads to the main access road for the geothermal power plant. meanwhile authorities are warning of a new hazard called pele's hair. >> it's like glass, fragile, lightweight. >> reporter: as mary ann farrell got ready to leave her home for perhaps the last time, she showed us the rocks with glass fibers that could irritate the skin and eyes and lungs if inhaled. >> reporter: this stuff is all over, all around your house.

>> all over. >> reporter: it's raining down. >> yes. >> reporter: what do you think of when you see this? >> it's over. >> reporter: chris burmeister says he's seen his neighborhood go from a lush jungle to a moonscape. can you describe the force we are looking at here? >> there's definitely nothing like it. it's mother nature re-creating, so we're at her mercy. >> reporter: because there are so many active fissures now, there is no word on when roads may re-open, if at all. this has been going on for almost a month and scientists aren't offering predictions for when it may end. norah? >> thank you. missouri governor eric greitens says he will resign on friday. he was considered a rising star in the republican party. greitens was hit by scandals stemming from an extramarital affair, alleged blackmail and claims of finance campaicampaig

accusations. adriana diaz joins us. >> good morning. accusations that greitens had an affair with a woman he blackmailed, still he fights to stay in office while facing a growing number of calls from fellow republicans to resign. >> the last few months have been incredibly difficult for me, for my family. >> reporter: missouri governor eric greitens did not admit to any wrongdoing as he announced his resignation on tuesday. he said, quote, the ordeal has caused incredible strain for the family. >> it is clear that for the forces that oppose us, there is no end in sight. >> reporter: he faced a felony charge for invasion of privacy for taking a photo of a partly nude woman without her consent, but the charge was later dismissed. in april he was charged with another felony, allegedly using

money for his campaign by using a donor list. and the legislature convened a special session to consider disciplinary action against the governor. >> i know now that i'm not perfect, but i've not broken any laws or committed any offense worthy of this treatment. >> reporter: fellow missouri republicans called for greitens to step down. some feared his possible impeachment could hurt the party's chances in a tight senate race against incumbent democrat claire mccaskill. jean evans. >> i was actually released. this is the right move for missouri. >> senator roy blount who stopped short of calling for greitens to resign said in a statement the governor made the best decision for his family and the state. starting friday republican lieutenant governor mike parson will serve as governor. the prosecutor said her office reached a fair and just resolution and will release

details later today, so we'll see. >> all right, adriana. we'll see. thanks. secretary of state mike pompeo will be in new york city to meet with a north korean representative. his meeting with kim yong chol comes at a good time. it was originally scheduled for next month. kylie atwood is at the state department. good morning. >> good morning. beyond meetings at the u.n., this is the first time in 18 years that a north korean official is meeting with a top u.s. government official on u.s. soil. pompeo is heading to the white house later today to talk with president trump about his meeting with north korea's top spy chief. and for pompeo and kim yonge chol, this will be their third time face to face. both of the previous huddles happened in pyongyang. this meeting will inject new momentum into the negotiating

and planning leading up to the trump/kim jong-un summit tentatively set to take place in singapore onune 12. nothing is certain. last week trump cancelled the meeting with a letter to kim jong-un. pompeo said the u.s. team was getting a lot of dial tones, simply ignored by kim's regime. now mr. trump tweeted kim jong chol's visit should be a solid response to his letter. just this week there was a report out that said it could take up to 15 years for north korea to fully and safely denuclearize. gayle? >> thank you. the president faces new questions about his dealings with attorney general jeff sessions today. in an interview you will see next hour we talked to trey gowdy about a report in today's "new york times" that says the president asked the attorney general last year to reverse his decision to recuse himself from the russia investigation.

>> we asked congressman trey gowdy if that request was made would it constitute obstruction of justice. >> i don't think so. >> i think the president is expressing frustration that attorney general sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job, not afterward. if i were the president and i picked someone to be the country's chief law enforcement officer and they told me later, oh, by the way, i'm not going to be able to participate in the most important case in the too.ce, i would be frustrated, that's how i read that is senator sessions, why didn't you tell me this before i picked you? there are lots of good lawyers in the country. he could have picked someone else. >> major garrett is at the white house where the president is responding. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president quoted trey gowdy verbatim and added, and i wish i did, saying he wished he

appointed somebody else as attorney general. this is as blunt as he's been publically about his misgivings about the sessions appointment. now it's worth pointing out the president could at any time fire sessions. but he has not. sessions could resign. last year he threatened to do so but was talked out of it. the uneasy semi-peace continues. the president angry and the attorney general continuing to operate, though under a cloud. overall, president trump has decided if he fires sessions he'll have nearly an impossible task for getting his replacement. sessions has griaggressively carried out the president's agenda. the source of the frustration is sessions' recusal, the president believes, set in motion events that enlarged the russia investigation. that leaves out that the firing of james comey also led to the appointment of a special counsel. but the president fundamentally

believes if sessions had not recused himself mueller may not have been appointed and the russia probe might be over by now. the president overlooked trey gowdy's comment that the fbi didn't infiltrate the trump campaign undermining a key talking point of the president's. >> thank you. we'll have a conversation with trey gowdy coming up next hour. also ahead, a big birth control recall. a mix-up could lead to unintended

a tell advantage gist says he needs a jet to spread the gospel. >> if jesus was on earth today he wouldn't be riding a donkey. think about that for a minute. he'd be in an airplane preaching the gospel all over the world. >> okay. ahead, the response to jim asking his followers to help him buy the plane with cash. >> you're watching "cbs this morning." asking his people to provide a plane. they said i had afib. afib? what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. xarelto®. to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib

not caused by a heart valve problem. in a clinical study, over 96% of people taking xarelto® remained stroke-free. xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. for afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily or take longer for bleeng to stop. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. before starting, tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures and any kidney or liver problems. learn all you can to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. to help protect yourself from a stroke. delivcrisp leaves of lettuce,s. freshly-made dressing.

the special master apointed to the case says she'll give prosecutors more than a million pieces of data from three of cohen's phones. barbara jones still has to review more than 250 items the defense lawyers say are highly personal, including medical records and video recorder data. prosecutors say they're examining cohen's business interests for evidence of possible fraud. pharmaceutical company allergan is recalling nearly 170,000 packs of birth control packs. they were packaged out of order, which could lead to unintended pregnancies if taken at the wrong time of the month. and the scripps national spelling bee is under way in maryland. a record-breaking 516 kids are competing this year, including this 12-year-old. his father won the national spelling bee in 1985. it's the first time a child of a former champion is competing.

discreetness, with privacy, and with thoroughness. >> more than a dozen lawsuits have been filed against tyndall and the university. the doctor denied any wrongdoing in interviews with "the l.a. times." a televangelist is asking for donations to buy a private jet. more than 750,000 people watch his sermons online and follow his ministry's facebook page. he's the second prominent televangelist this year to preach the virtues of a private plane. >> it's a good question. the ministry already has a jet. it had three, in fact, but he says he needs this new one to be able to go anywhere around the world in a single stop in order to spread the gospel to as many people as possible. >> reporter: in a video posted to his website last week, the

televangelist says god told him he needs the new falcon 7x jet. >> if jesus was physically on the earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey. think about that for a minute. he'd be in an airplane preaching the gospel all over the world. >> reporter: reaction to this multimillion-dollar request has been mixed on the ministry's facebook page. one person wrote, i am ashamed i ever listened to a word you had to say. another posted, i believe pastor jesse will have his plane and that is the way god has planned it. he's not the first minister to preach the gospel of private flying. >> if i want to believe god for a $65 million plane, you cannot stop me. >> reporter: in 2015, another asked his suburban atlanta congregation for a new gulf stream g-650. his ministry settled for a used one. this past january, texas-based televangelist kenneth copeland announced the blessing of a new multimillion-dollar gulf stream 5. they both defended using private

don't believe preachers should have a private jet, but he believes in using all outlets. >> well, jesus said to his disciples don't even take a second tunic. >> we'll see how this turns out. many people battling fading vision have tried an experimental stem cell treatment not approved by the government. >> knowing what you know n about this procedure, would you do it again? >> no way, and that's one reason we are doing what we're doing. trying to get the word out to people. >> ahead, how one woman claims the procedure blinded her. and we invite you to subscribe to our "cbs this morning" podcast available on itunes and apple's podcast app. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. ipod app. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. what? where's that coming from? i don't know. i started my 401k early, i diversified... i'm not a big spender. sounds like you're doing a lot. but i still feel like

the federal government is cracking down on what it describes as unscrupulous eye clinics. scientistses say the stem cells are capable of generating

different types of cells and tissues. they offer treating conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. the justice department filed suits from two companies seeking to prevent them from experimenting on patients. miguel bojorquez spoke to a woman who claims she was blinded by this procedure. he joins us at the table. good to see you. >> good to see you as well. many people with fading vision have turned to stem cell research. they're being performed as clinical research. while some patients have reported improvements, others have faired much worse. >> it sounded -- this is stupid to say -- too good to be true, and it was too good to be true. >> reporter: it was t impossible hope of curing doris's blurred vision. she said workers repeated a claim on their website that stem cells may be effective in the treatment of macular

degeneration. >> i'm sure you both talked it over pretty extensively. >> oh, yeah. >> what was the consensus you reached with the information that you had? >> well, that it was worth a try. >> reporter: doris and her husband donald paid 8 rkds $900 for an experimental procedure in which the clinic removed fat from her body and injected them into her eyes. she said within three months both of he retinas had detached leaving her blind. >> it's so hard not to see the sunshine and the birds out on the bird feeder and the beautiful flowers that don has planted in the yard. it's just terrible. >> reporter: the tiers have filed a lawsuit against the clinic and the cell surgical network with which it's fill yated. they say the claim of the danger outweighs the benefits of surgery with no benefits of value. >> i often refer to these as

deputies are trying to find the people who attacked three teenagers with hammers. it happened monday at a home good morning, it's 7:56. i'm kenny choi. santa cruz county sheriff's deputies are trying to find the people who attacked three teens with hammers. it happened monday at a home in aptos. the family of one of the teens says that he has been in and out of a medically-induced coma. investigators believe it was not random. firefighters have contained a brush fire that prompted evacuations early this morning in san francisco. the half acre blaze was first reported around 5:30 this morning near alemany boulevard and interstate 280. we'll have traffic and weather in just a moment.

time now 7:57. we have an update for you on this traffic alert that we have been tracking all morning after a fuel spill had shut down lanes along southbound 680 approaching 580. it looks like chp has just reopened those lanes. we are still seeing delays because we are tracking a new accident in that backup. this is southbound 680 at alcosta boulevard. a big rig and another vehicle got into it there. so do expect delays to continue as you make your way towards the dublin-pleasanton interchange. we are also tracking a new crash along southbound 680 at montague blocking a lane. that cloud coverage rolling in and around the bay this morning causing for some gloomy conditions to start off the day and some low visibility in some spots. it's also cooling. west winds contributing to that. 51 degrees in san francisco. 58 san jose. santa rosa up to 50. look at this visibility-wise, half moon bay drop to three miles, oakland airport 4 miles. visibility also lower across the north bay. take a look at those west winds and that's what's causing that

cooler air to move all the way to the east bay. so we are going to see our temperatures only reaching the 60s and 70s.

do not reflect the opinions of the show. >> i talked to valerie jarrett last night. she said i don't want this story to be about me. that is not the conversation we should be having. it points out to a bigger question of what is going on and the dialogue we are having. the fact that he called her to say we are canceling the show and to apologize. >> how ironic that starbucks is having training on bias and you have someone out there tweeting. >> we talk about standard slipping. there is a standard. show is done. >> everyone is talking about how quickly they moved on this. i find the show is making a lot of money. it shows you money doesn't mean everything to a lot of people in this business. >> real leadership. >> new study estimates puerto rico's death toll could be more than 70 times higher than

>> president repeated his cla in nashville last night and said last week that the use o an informant can be -- republican congressman is chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee and attended a classified briefing in response to the president's allegation. >> how are you? >> i'm well. you have looked at the actual evidence here in this briefing. the president has not. you said i am even having looked at this you said i am even more convinced that the fbi did exactly what americans would want them to do when they got the information they did. why did you say that? how can you be so sure? >> when the fbi comes into contact with information about what a foreign government may be doing in our election cycle i think they have an obligation to run it out. i think the fbi if they were at the table this morning they would tell you russia was the target and russia's intentions towards our country were the target. the fact that two people who

were loosely connected with the trump campaign may have been involved doesn't diminish the fact that russia was the target. >> you looked at this and you said what the fbi was doing was kosher. what is the president saying when he says he knows better. >> i never met or talked to the president. >> i have not. >> just to be clear about this being somehow out of bounds based on your experience and the evidence you saw that is not the case. >> think back to what the president told james comey. he said i didn't collude with russia. i want you to investigate it. it strikes me that that is exactly what the fbi was doing. et me ask youpecific was there a spy? >> that is not a term i ever used in criminal justice system. i have never heard the term spy used. >> when the president says spy gate there was no spy inserted in the campaign? have you seen any evidence of that? >> i have not.

that is an espionage term. >> you believe the fbi acted properly in this matter? >> i don't know what the fbi could have done or should have done other than run out a lead that someone loosely connected with the campaign was making assertions about russia. i would think you would want the fbi to find out whether or not there was validity to what the people were saying. >> since you have been a prosecutor can you explain to people who may not know what an informant is and why there may have been one who helped the fbi but was not inserted into the campaign? >> informants are used all day every day by law enforcement. they are sources of information. you call them confidential because you don't want everyone to know they have a relationship with law enforcement. i can't think of any major case i handled in 20 years where there was not someone willing to provide information. it is up to law enforcement to go validate or ratify the information. you have to have people coming forward. what law enforcement does is up

to them. >> do you think it is misleading for the president to keep using the term spy gate? is that frustrating to you? >> i'm a lousy politician. i was an okay prosecutor, informant, those are words i'm familiar with. i'm not good at marketing. i'm not good at branding. >> keeps using the phrase spy gate. do you think that is misleading? >> i think lawyers have an obligation to share with him what devon and paul and i saw last week. i'm convinced that when he sees it he is going to say that is what i told comey i wanted the fbi to do. >> the reason the president has been talking about this is that his lawyer has tried to raise questions about the mueller investigation for the purposes of not having the president talk to mueller. have you seen anything that would suggest that the president should not talk to mueller? >> the opposite. i think the president should tell mueller in private what he has told all of us in public which is he didn't collude with russia and if anyone connected

with his campaign did he wants the public to know it. i think that is what he ought to tell mueller. >> let me ask you about the front page of the "new york times" reporting that the president of the united states beraided his attorney general, asked him to reverse his decision in terms of his recusal of the russia investigation. if e did that, made that conversation would that constitute of justice? >> i don't think so. i think the president is expressing frustration that attorney general sessions should have shared the reasons for recusal before he took the job and not afterward. if i were the president and i picked someone to be the country's chief law enforcement officer and they told me later by the way i'm not going to be able to participate in the most important case in the office i would be frustrated, too. that is how i read that. senator sessions why didn't you tell me this before i picked you? he could have picked someone else. >> your republican colleagues, are they on board with the way

you are speaking out? you are breaking rigs with some people. >> the ones that are on marco rubio, others, tom cotton, he is hardly a -- >> special intelligence committee. the folks who have seen the information i think have the same perspective. i have those who have not seen the information i don't know what informs their perspective. >> nice to have you back at the table. last time you were here -- thank you for coming back. serena williams is on the prowl you can say for another french open title. ahead, why the world's former number one returned to grand slam action in a black cat suit. we'll tell you why. that's about two minutes

malcolm gladwell is the author of five best-sellers. his narrative podcast series is back for its third season. the show explores events and ideas from the past that are often overlook order misu misunderstood. it is number one in podcast's rankings. >> he's now sharing his skills with everyone. his first online writing course is available through master class. he discusses creating suspense in nonfiction. >> narratives are about the resolution of problems. that's what a narrative is. i set up certain kinds of things and then i solve all the little questions. i answer all the questions you have in your mind.

with suspense there are certain questions i don't answer. there's no reason why suspense should be specific to movies or television shows or fiction. you can do exactly the same thing in a work of nonfiction. >> and without further ado, no suspense here, malcolm gladwell at the table. great to have you here. >> glad to be here. >> why did you decide to share your experiences? >> i thought it would be fun. and also i think everything in the media world is exploding and changing so quickly, that i think if you're a writer, you have to start exploring other ways of reaching your audience. that's why i wanted to do the podcast and a master class. i feel if i only write books, i'll lose contact with a large portion of the population. >> what did you learn or did you learn anything about your own

process in your own writing? >> it's funny. i've never reflected about it before. >> feel free to do so now. prepared for doing it, i thought about, well, how do i approach the task of writing. so it was really an interesting kind of moment. it's like being on the couch at the shrink, you know. you sort of get a window into your own mind for the first time. >> do you worry about sharing your own tips that someone will copy your style or is there only one? >> i wouldn't have done that when i was 25. >> you're not. >> now i'm so old it doesn't matter. people can copy me. it's fine. >> i love the tag line, things that are overlook and misund misunderstood. what do you get from the podcasts that you don't get from your books?

>> there are things you can do with sound. so one f the podcast episodes that's coming up, i went to nashville and i interviewed jack white and an extraordinary singer named casey bowles. jack white was sitting as far away from me as you are and you're right there. he played elvis songs for me, and's just this moment of incredible intimacy. >> and he very rarely gives interviews. that has to be amazing. >> is that the key? how as a person degree yating it, how do you play with that? >> i can explore -- like if the episode that came out last week, which was a piece about football and my increasing discomfort with risks and costs of football, it's all about a family who lost a son to football. >> because he was diagnosed with cte. >> and took his own life.

>> yes. >> you know, there's something we can do with the podcast that we couldn't do on the pauj, which is, i'm sitting in the room with the mom, the dad, and the brother, and the sister-in-law, and the kids and the dog and it's all happening all around you. and it's just -- that's what makes it moving and powerful. >> that was a heartbreaking story actually. you actually called them on the carpet too. it doesn't seem they've taken steps to do anything about it. i want to talk about the shaggy dog story. what is it? it sounds like something you made up. >> my father was english. they love shaggy dogs. they're long pointless -- long detailed stories with excessive narration with a pointless punch line. >> and you set it up with a semicolon, i don't mean to be

insulting but at the end i think it was a shaggy dog story. >> i love shaggy dogs. >> i will denight was a shag yo dog story. it looked like a shaggy dog story. we're talking -- >> and it barked like a shaggy dog story. >> it's a long hilarious story about the -- >> semicolon. >> semicolons in the constitution and how there's a huge political question that could be resolved if you interpret a semicolon in a specific part of the country in a certain way. so i go and sit down with mash norris who is -- >> an old copy editor. >> brilliant copy editors from new york and michael. we had fun with this phrase. oh, my god, if the semicolon is a certain way, politics could change overnight. i'm not going give it away. >> please don't. there's a lot of suspense there. >> you see there's a lot of

suspense and teases in the structure. >> i'm thinking, malcolm, you and i have different ideas of hilarious. >> you don't think you would enjoy it? >> no, no, no. i think we have different ideas of hilarious, but i highly, highly, highly recommend the podcast. it's always great to see you. you're great fun. it's available wherever you like to get your podcasts. you can hear more on apple's ipodcast. remember this guy ken jennings who's famous for -- tony marantis remembers. e had the longest winning streak on a game show. he discusses his new book. why he says policing jokes on social media is healthy for society.

initialing the marine layer. just picked up at sfo. 22-mile-per-hour winds and higher gusts in fairfield and antioch. we all know guys like gavin... boasting. overselling his achievements. making false claims. as lieutenant governor, he skipped many of his duties, saying the job was "so dull," he only shows up to work at the state capitol "like one day a week, tops." the same gavin who, as mayor, "split town" during a massive oil spill and "jetted off..to hawaii."
