♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's thursday, july 18th, 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning." with millions of americans in the grip of dangerous heat, we'll look at the warning signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. plus, we'll talk to major garrett about president trump's rally where his supporter chanted send her back about a democratic congresswoman. and meet the 88-year-old congressional aide who proved civility can still be found in washington. first, here is today's "eye opener" coming at you at 8:00. more than half of the country will be hit by a dangerous and record-breaking heat wave over the next 24
8:01 am
hours. >> roughly 660 people die each and every year from heat-related illness. >> i'm on shirt number three today. >> the worst is probably heading our way on saturday. feels-like temperatures to at least 115 degrees. >> this rally was a chance to test out how this controversial approach is resonating with his supporters and it appeared they are with him all the way. >> protesters said how can he look at what we're doing and not reconsider? this was the front line of the protests. >> we reached out to expectationspacey's attorney. he is not out of legal jeopardy completely. he is reportedly still facing sexual assault allegations in great britain. elon mausk has plans to connect your thoughts to your computer. wibrain. olves planting tiny >> having computers in our brain is not going to end well. can we agree on this? think how many times you hit reply all by mistake.
8:02 am
imagine you could reply with your brain. your co-worker the next day is like, yesterday you said yesterday, you sent that to the entire office. toyota. let's go places. that reply all is the worst. have you ever done that? >> that's a very scary idea there, the chip in your brain. >> elon musk has a lot of plans, a lot of ideas. maybe table this one. >> big elon musk fan. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. officials are warning tens of millions of americans to take extra precautions as a dangerous heat wave hits two-thirds of this country. the heat is already proving deadly. maryland officials say two people suffered heat-related deaths this week. jeff berardelli is here. jeff, the question now, how long can we expect these sweltering temperatures to last? >> the worst of it, gayle, is through about sunday or so.
8:03 am
then a major relief is on the way for the northeast especially. so just hold on for a few days. things will get be, dus oppress heat is on the way. you have heard the term it's not the heat, it's the humidity. it's never been more twru than the next few days. dew point measures how much moisture in the atmosphere. in miami the highest dew points are in the low 80s. we are going to see that all the way up to iowa and minnesota, and places like omaha, nebraska. so even though high temperatures will only be around 90, 92, 93 degrees, feels-like temperatures will be as high as 115 to 120 degrees. on saturday that heat shifts to the east. look at washington, d.c., new york, and raleigh. we are talking heat indices again up to around 110, maybe as high as 115. limit your time outdoors. there is a direct connection between more extreme heat and climate change. in fact, it's the most direct connection when you talk about
8:04 am
climate change. a new study from the union of concerned scientists. that is a serious science organization. this is what they fund. by 2050 we will see 105 heat index temperatures triple. triple the amount of heat index days above 105. by leightonstery tate -- we maye end of the scale. by 2100, boston may have as many extreme heat days as columbia, south carolina. so it's going to get worse unless we stop our emissions. >> all right. jeff, thank you very much. the nation's capitol is among the places bracing for triple-digit heat. temperature in washington, d.c. will be 113 degrees, rivaling death valley in california. this could cause dangerous problems for drivers. kris van cleave is in washington. what are the richkss? >> good morning. i have been sitting this car for the last 15 minutes or so.
8:05 am
you can see i have started to sweat. while it's a relatively comfortable 81 degrees outside, inside the car we are closer to 90. that's going to continue to climb. that can make things particularly dangerous for drivers. already this year at least 21 kids who have been left in that hot car have died. there was a case on tuesday. a baby girl in richmond, virginia, died after she was apparently left in a car when the temperature was in the low 90s. a car's temperature will increase up to 40 degrees in an hour, particularly in the hot sun. 80% of that increase comes in the first 30 minutes. so if it's 95 degrees outside like it will be here tomorrow, within ten minutes it's 114 in the car. within 30 it's 129 degrees. now, aaa warns it can drain your car battery. it can also contribute to damage to your vehicle. they recommend drivers make sure vehicles are in good working order, topping off fluids and
8:06 am
having properly inflated tires. they recommend drivers keep an emergency kit with things like first-aid and water. they say it's a good idea to have extra water in your vehicle during this really hot period. really what first responders are saying is it's vitally important that you double-check the car. don't leave kids or pets inside the vehicle. gayle. >> all right. thank you very much. keep that ac running, kris. the cdc says 600 people die in the u.s. every year from extreme heat. our dr. tara narula joins us at the table with more on that. there are three stages to heat emergency. what are the warning signs in the body and what are the precautions people can take to protect themselves? >> right. what happens is your body's temperature control systems is overwhelmed. we have in our brain an area that keeps it within 98.6 degrees plus or minus 2 degrees. over 104, you become at risk for heatstroke. so heatstroke is when your core
8:07 am
temperature is 104 or higher and you start to have central nervous system dysfunction. your cells start to break down. your gut is lucky. you risk muscle damage, kidney, liver, heart damage. the mechanisms of the body is that we dilate the blood vessels in our skin so we shunt blood to the skin to aradiate off the het and we sweat. the sweat evaporates and that cools us. when the temperature is so high, it doesn't work, that mechanism. when the humidity is high we can't evaporate the sweat off. >> sometimes you don't know how bad it is until it's too late. >> right. muscle cramping or heat cramping is the beginning stages. then heat exhaustion and heatstroke. warnings signs are things like a faster heart rate, feeling nausea or vomiting, having aita
8:08 am
consciousness. this is a real medical emergency. if you see someone suffering call 911 and cool them any way you can. get them into a cool bath, cool sponges or cool blankets on t s them, get their temperature down to 101 or 102. this for you, gayle. this is my from daughter. it's an accessory bracelet for you. i know you love accessories. >> she knows about my hot flashes. >> yes. >> thank you. it's portable, too. >> that's fabulous, although you might need a bigger fan. president trump is using attacks on the female congresswomen known as the squad to fire up his supporters. he called out the four lawmakers of color by name at a campaign rally last night in north carolina. that drew raucous applause from the crowd and a chant based on the president's racist tweet. >> tonight i have a suggestion for the hate-filled extremists who are constantly trying to
8:09 am
tear our country down. they never have anything good to say. that's why i say, hey, if they don't like it, let them leave. let them leave. omar has a history of launching vicious anti-semitic skreeds. [ crowd chanting ] >> you can hear the crowd chanting "send her back." we're talking about congresswoman ilhan omar. she was born in somalia. she is an american citizen, lived here since she was a young teenager. she responded on twitter with a picture of her. she wrote i am where i belong at the people's house and you are just going to have to deal with it. major garrett joins us from washington. major, you have seen plenty of these trump rallies. did the scene last night surprise you? >> with you and tony and anthony yesterday on the set in new york, what did i say? the president is looking for a replacement for hillary clinton. i didn't know when i said that, hours later there would be a
8:10 am
chant coming from a trump rally reminiscent of the 2016 hillary clinton clant, "lock her up," which was "send her back." this is consistent with the sense among some trump supporters, and it's worth pointing out you see in the video not every trump supporter is chanting that, but some believe there is a dividing line in america and the president is on the love america patriotic side and those who vehemently disagree with him are not. i have been to nearly 80 trump rallies. i talk to trump supporters at every one of them. i spent an an hour and a half with them in orlando. individually they present as patriotic, earnest, love the president, love the country, believe these chants are somewhat in jest and are surprised people are fearful about them. that is a dividing line in perception and the way politics plays out. and trump supporters don't think they are doing anything wrong even when they chant like this. they believe critics of the president are too sensitive and they are the ones who are
8:11 am
unhinged. it is the biggest dividing line in american politics. >> when you are watching it, i think for a lot of people this is very frightening. i just want to help -- i would like you to help us understand why you can't just disagree with the president without being called unamerican. i just met the squad the other day. i don't know them. i never talked to any of them before that interview. i only spent 30 minutes. not one of them ever said i hate america. not one of them ever said i don't want to be here. in fact, i would say they love this country so much, they spoke with such pride about being in congress. they pointed out where they sat in the room and the bills that they have passed and the passion that they have for this country and their people and their constituents. so for him to say with a big microphone they hate this country, that just is simply not true. it scares me he is putting that narrative out there. >> he is putting that narrative out there. and for the republica become thp
8:12 am
party, when the president says you disagree with me, he is iotrue american patriots, oftentimes election emails sent to trump supporters will say true american patriots. this is one of the things that's at stake in 2020. what is our definition nationally, collectively of what patriotism is or isn't? is dissent unpatriotic? is that the essential core of the trump message? some trump supporters believe that. others are not exactly sure of that. it is one of the central, i would argue, primal questions in american politics in the 2020 election. what is our definition of ourself? what are we comfortable with? what are we willing to live with? >> indeed, who are we? that is the question. >> what do

8:31 am
>> yes. a fever, almost. >> yeah, these pictures are evidence, people. >> beautiful but terrifying. mine is about as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the walk on the moon, according to a recent survey, kids today would much rather be stars than see stars. they did a survey of 3,000 kids between the age of 8 and 12, if you had a choice, what would you want to be? the number one thing is a youtube star. that came in first. followed by a teacher, a musician, the astronaut came in last place. >> wow. >> which i think is so iconic. when i was growing up and they said what do you want to be, most little boys would say astronaut, police officer, firefighter. now it's youtube. in china, the majority of them said astronaut, which i think is interesting. >> very revealing. >> i once visited my son's class and talked about my job.
8:32 am
the first question is, are you on youtube? >> was that the first question? >> yeah. >> my son is kind of fascinated with it, too. all right. here's my story. it's the encore of someone we showed you last week 6-year-old baseball coach who made a visit to the mound in a kalamazoo growlers game. there he is. i love this guy. well, coach drake is at it again. a week later, he came back out of the dugout. we'll show you that video. there he is leaving the field, but wait. >> out comes coach drake. he did not like the last call. the player for wisconsin dove. the ball went underneath him, but the ump still called him out. he's not liking it. arguing with the home plate umpire. and he does not look happy. here comes the signature move. uh-oh, he might get tossed. and he is t.
8:33 am
