news in north carolina who have earned this week's award the for reporting. >> some of the worst hit areas. adrien adrienne? >> i'm tired from walking from studio to studio. >> all right. that was adrienne reporting. >> i think that was adrienne complaining. >> poor adrienne. >> i know. >> i feel for her. >> she's tired from walking studio to studio. >> we've all been there. welcome to the weekend, everyone. i'm michelle miller along with dana jacobson and jeff glor. this morning we're going to take you out to the track. that's where carmaker bugatti claimed victory this week in the race to 300 miles per hour. but that world record by a production car is not without controversy. we'll travel to sweden to talk to one of the hypercar companies that says, "not so fast." and explain why the record is so

important. then, it's been a mystery for 1,r5 00 years. what is it that people keep seeing in lock necessary? we'll tell you what researchers found out when they extracted dna from the scottish body of water and why it may explain what people saw. >> oh, man. conditioned wait to see that one. then he basically invepted what it means to be a showman but the history of p.t. barnum is controversial. we'll explain with the author of a new book. but we begin this morning with a weaker hurricane dorian now taking aim at southeastern massachusetts as it moves toward eastern canada. dorian is about 145 southeast of nantucket with 85-mile-per-hour winds. it's moving northeast at 25 miles an hour. boats were pulled from the water in hyannis, massachusetts, on friday. the monster storm is blamed for at least 43 deaths in the

bahamas. it is a number that officials warn will surely grow as thousands of people are still missing. in the storm ravaged outer banks of north carolina, floodwaters have receded. omar villafranca is in kitty hawk with the latest this morning on dorian. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and what a difference ada makes. 24 hours ago, the wind gusts here were whipping at about 80 miles an hour. where i'm standing right here, the surf was up to my knees, but now dorian has moved farther up the coast. but the aftereffects are still being felt here in north carolina. video taken by sheriff's deputies shows an overhead view of the destruction left by hurricane dorian as the storm passed through coastal north carolina. 95-year-old thelma horner nearly lost part of her home when wind gusts whipped this 80-foot tree off the ground. >> i'm glad it's in the street and not in the yard. >> reporter: heavy winds on the

outer banks ripped siding off homes and snapped telephone poles in half. rough surf from dorian washed away a third of this long-standing pier. >> we need to rebuild the pier and this is going to happen. >> reporter: first responders are conducting rescue missions on this island. an estimated 800 islanders defied the evacuation from the island that's only accessible by air or boat. >> currently the island has no electricity, and many homes and buildings are still under water. >> reporter: rain bands are expected to track over southeast massachusetts with possible wind gusts reaching 73 miles per hour. officials in new jersey and new york have banned swimming and surfing at the beaches while dorian makes its way to canada. the national weather service

predicts ocean swells as large as ten feet, but some locals are not as worried. >> yeah, it's been a conflict because most surfers are waiting for hurricane swell. >> reporter: lifeguards and law enforcement are expected to patrol the coastline to enforce the ban, but there's a coastal flood warning until further notice. >> it's chilling and beautiful when you think about it with all the destruction left behind. thank you for the report. >> absolutely. for more on the track of dorian and its next wave of threats, let's turn to meteorologist jeff berardelli. >> good morning, ebb. this is its last stand. as you can see, the storm is racing off to the northeast. we still have tropical tomorrow warnings out for parts of down east maine and cape cod as well. wind gusts at 50, 60 miles an hour. this morning there are the wind gusts, 60, 65 miles an hour. it's going to quickly race off to the northeast.

could be hurricane-force winds today. halifax, 80, 85 miles an hour at times. the good news is things will be getting better by early afternoon in eastern new england. take a look right there. this is the biggest threat. 40-foot waves just offshore. really rough. dangerous conditions up and down the eastern seaboard. be very careful if you're head to the beach. be careful not go into the water because of the bigger swells. this is the other story. mayor heatwave in the southeast, 100 to 115. to add insult to injury, charleston and jacksonville feels like around 105. a lot of folks without air conditioning. be careful. >> it's so chilly up here in the northeast. >> right. thank you. the u.s. coast guard has deployed a team of at least 1,000 people to help with the massive search efforts for the missing on the bahamas.

food, water, blankets, and medicine are being shipped in as the humanitarian crisis from dorian unfolds. errol barnett is in freeport. errol, what is it looking like there? >> reporter: good morning. this gives you a sense of how close the cleanup effort has been. this itself remains devastated. for this reason, some of the aid has needed to be shipped in, and we want you to hear just some of the stories we heard as we fired into freeport and made our way through some of the town's hardest hit areas. taking this overnight ferry home to freeport is bittersweet for kenneth knowles, his wife, and granddaughter. >> we did suffer catastrophic damage at our business, so we're now going home to try to see what's there. >> reporter: they're aboard a vessel carrying desperately

needed humanitarian aid to those hardest hit by dorian. as soon as we arrived and ventured through freeport, we saw people lined up for hours in hopes of getting ice and water. >> water, washing stuff, bleach. these are the things that we need. >> this is your first time seeings your home. >> yes. >> reporter: brenda suberallen rode out the storm in freeport and came back to her uprooted home to salvage what she could. >> there's nothing i could save really, not at a thing. >> reporter: the further east we travel, the worse it gets. the only highway across the island ends. >> this is pretty incredible. this is the main highway out of freeport to head east to the hardest hit areas, and you can see it's been completely devastated. a lot of folks have left their vehicles behind us on the side of the road, others deciding on if or not they'll take the risk to push forward.

this is a big reason why it's so challenging to get aid through the country. keeno lettice and his father are trying to make contact with friends they vent spoken with since the storm. places are running on generators, if they have them. there's also no running water. there's also a warning due to the high number of people missing, we can expect the death toll to increase, jeff, significantly. >> errol, thanks. the bad news keeps copping in. errol barnett. breaking overnight, a new threat from iran. a spokesman warned europe time is running out to save a 2015 nuclear deal. as he announced iran was using faster centrifuges. the u.s. pulled out of the accord a year ago. also they have received a foreign tow boat and 12 filipinos for allegedly

smuggling about 1,200 gallons of fu fuel. the centers for disease control is warning people to stop using e-cigarettes. the number of possible cases of vaping-related lung illnesses has more than doubled in a month. right now there are more than 450 possible cases in 33 states. health officials say at least five deaths are likely linking to vaping. dr. jon lapook joins us more. >> good morning, dana. the cdc says the reason people should stop using e-cigarettes is because the investigation is ongoing. and while they believe a chemical is involved, it's no definitive cause for the lung illnesses. the cdc reported a third death in indiana. pam pontones is with the indiana health department. >> vaping is the only common

factor in these injuries to date. many individuals have reported vaping thc, the ingredient in marijuana, or other substances, but we do not know what else may have been in these products. >> reporter: a study released showed both thc and nicotine were involved. it designed 53 cases of vaping-related lung disease since april in illinois and wisconsin. pmost were healthy males with a median age of 19. 37% of patients reported vaping only thc, the chemical in marijuana that pduces a high. 17% reported only using nicotine products, and 44% reported using both. 18-year-old piper johnson was on her way to college when she wound up in a colorado intensive care unit. >> had i waited 36 hours longer, i probably would have died or been put on a ventilator. >> reporter: the cdc did not identify any particular brand of e-cigarette but expressed

particular concern with vaping products purchased on the street or tampered with by users. the american vaping association says the cdc is creating anti-vaping hysteria and that adultd smokers should not be scared off from using store bought products to quit smoking. >> i think any time you see something this serious, you understand why there's so much concern. there's still so much we don't know right now. >> yeah, it's true. remember, there are two different things here. right now people are getting lung illnesses, and it seems like in the last six months or so. there's been vaping going on for a long time. but is it something in the street? it's possible, but we don't know. remember the e-cigarette devices, you're putting all the stuff in and brewing it up. >> so often we see these diseases developing a much longer time after year. the median age is 19. what's going on?

>> what that goes to show you, it's a young person's problem. that's the whole thing. you can say, well, we're using vaping because we're stopping people smoking cigarettes from smoking them, and that's a good goal. but if that was the marketing goal, it was a huge failure of the marketing goal because it turns out that the huge explosion has been in young people. so if it does turn out that it's nothing in the normal store bought e-cigarette devices, that it's something that's being added and found on the street, that's one thing. it doesn't negate the fact that these young people should not even be using these vaping devices in the first place that a lot to think about. drchl jo dr. jon lapook. thank you for being here. new numbers in the labor hired.ment shows fewer employers a fewer than 100,000 were added in august. that's below the six-month average of 160,000. but the unemployment rate stayed the same, 3.7%, which is near

the lowest level in five decades, and those who did work earned more money. the average pay increased by 33.2% compared to one year ago. the slowdown in hiring may be due to a weakened economy and president trump's ongoing war with china. those are some of the things on the agenda when congress returns on monday. weijia jiang is with us. good morning. >> good morning, dana. president trump has a long wish list that includes passing an immigration bill to build his border wall, ratifying the north american trade deal that would replace nafta and achieving an infrastructure bill, and even though a white house official says they want to take meaningful action against mass shootings and reduce gun violence, the opinion has been vague. this week he said new institutions have to be opened

to treat those impacted. before congress went on break, mr. trump called for meaningful background checks but now he says recent ones would not have stopped mass shootings. in fact, he's heard 29 different proposals after having meetings and phone calls with various lawmakers. during a radio interview, mitch mcconnell said he would be happy to put a gun bill on the floor if president trump would take a clean issue on it. but the president is not willing. it also seems the president's bizarre feud with noaa has taken a turn. what's up with that? >> they say the nevering they gave president trump over the weekend did, fact, include alabama in its projections and disavowed a tweet sent out on sunday by the birmingham branch that said alabama would not be

impacted. and in another dramatic twist, a member of the organization fired back, noaa finds it utterly disgusting and disingenuous. this comes after the president took heat for several days showing off a map in the oval office that included showing alabama. as for visiting the area, nothing is on his official plans yet. we do know he will be close to dorian's path on monday night. he's holding a campaign rally in fayetteville, north carolina, which is about 200 milers from the hurricane's battered coast. >> okay, weijia jiang. thank you very much. as federal investigators work to determine the cause of the deadly boat fire off southern california last week, the community of santa barbara came together to remember the victims. a vigils with held last night to honor the 34 people who were killed when their dive boat burned while anchored 27 miles

off santa barbara. the victims came from around the u.s. and as far away as singapore and japan. as kris van cleave reports, plans are under way to raise the wreckage from the sea floor. >> reporter: strong winds and currents are creating treacherous conditions for divers working the salvage operation. on friday a team of fire experts from the atf joined the investigation. >> the fact that the atf is participating today, is that any reason to think that this has moved into a criminal investigation? >> we're looking to determine what happened, but at this point no one has been charged criminally. >> reporter: the fast-moving flames trapped 34 people below deck. the coroner says it appears some died from smoke inhalation. now for the first time "conception's" owner is speaking out claiming his captain stayed until the very last moment.

>> at a certain point when the flames had engulfed the boat and they were in the water, they said they could see jerry jump from the upper deck, a long jump, and there was a trail of smoke following him. they thought he was on fire. >> reporter: in intviews with the national transportation seichty board, surviving crew members claimed smoke alarms never went off. one of the many questions investigators still have, was anyone on the crew awake. the boat was required to have a proving night watchman. vicki moore lost her partner scott chan and her 26-year-old daughter. >> both of them were scientists. it's important more people understand and appreciate the natural world. they got it and wanted to impart that to others too. >> reporter: we're learning the victims come from across california and around the world. for "cbs this morning: saturday," kris van cleave, santa barbara, california. a high school football

stadium near pittsburgh had to be evacuated after a shooting. >>er the front gate. one man was shot after getting into an argument with another man outside the stadium. police arrested the gunman. the head football coach rushed the players back to the locker room with minutes left in the game. the american airlines mechanic accused of sabotaging a plane with 150 aboard was upset over stalled union contract negotiations. he appeared in federal court friday. investigators say he was seen tampering with the plane's navigation system one hour before it was set to take off from miami last july. the flight was aborted and the mechanic told officials his intent was not to harm anyone but get overtime pay to fix the plane. >> you've got to be kidding me. there is more news ahead, but first it's 21 after the hour. now here's a look at the weather for your weekend.

the high school football season is getting around way again in the great state of texasing but this time two rivals are on the same side. after their community experiences the ravages of gun violence. we'll hear the message they are sending. plus, values that may have seemed fixed or influx from patriotism to religion to trust in our institutions. we'll look at a new survey that looks at major changes in what americans believe. also for decades, one magazine told the story of our neigh and our world through pictures. and some trailblazing women were among those behind the lens. we'll take you on the mission of

the mission of the "life" magazine. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday."

best song ever. he is going down in history as the world's greatest showman. but there's more to the story. the legendary p.t. barnum who went from legendary huxter to patriot. we'll talk with the author of a new biography. and dik the checker fall for the race to win a milestone. we'll talk with a company that has a car in production that reaches over 300 miles an hour. this is "cbs this morning: saturday."

you say if you want to raise a reader, be a reader. >> yeah. it starts with you. i mean if you're sitting there saying to your kid, read a book while you're on your phone scrolling, you're kind of sending a mixed message. so it's important that reading be seen and is something that's part of a family culture, that your kids see you reading and seeing you choosing to read as opposed to just watching tv or going on the iphone or whatever else and that reading becomes part of what your family does in its free time. >> at what point do you -- and how hard do you push back against the, i don't want to, i don't like it, i don't feel like it, i'm bored. >> that's the most important thing really. your school is in charge of

teaching your child how to read. what your job is as a parent is to teach your child, showing them how to love to read. so for every kid who says he doesn't like reading or he thinks it's boring, he probably just hasn't found the right book. >> that's one of the best parts of your book. you go to a bookstore and you have an infinite selection. you have five or six for age appropriate reading at the end of each chapter. >> but the time they get to preschool or kindergarten, it's too late. they should begin as babies, newborns actually. you should start reading to them or getting them to feel. there are toys made out of fabric with velcro and they can get a feel for what a book is. >> yeah. that's good because they can't eat those books or tear them to shreds. yeah, it's important. they're absorbing that. also it forges an emotional connection. you take a baby, put him in your

arms, you hold him, read aloud to him. he might not under and a single

welcome back to "cbs this morning: saturday." we begin this hour with a town 's attempt to heal from a tragedy. the two main high schools in odessa, texas, have a long running rivalry. in the football-crazed state the conflict between permian and odessa high have achieved legendary status chronicled in the book, film, and tv series, "friday night lights." the teams usually bring their community together by clashing on the field.

but this year after their hometown suffered a mass shooting that left seven people dead, the two teams are putting their rivalry aside. mireya villarreal has the story rfr before the odessa high football team took the field last night in their first game since last weekend's mass shooting. they paid tribute to those who were lost. one week ago a gunman opened fire from a moving vehicle, killing seven people and injuring at least 25 others across midland county to odessa. the shooter was killed by police outside a movie theater. >> less than a month ago there was a shooting in el paso. well, i'm heartbroken by the crying of the people in the state of texas. i'm tired of the dying for the people in the state of texas. >> reporter: among those killed, 15-year-old leilah hernandez. >> it was a normal saturday night and you see all over media

lsh prayerstoleilah. i hate how she didn't get to make it. it's just hard for everybody close to her. >> >> translator: hernandez was an odessa high school student and played on the basketball team. a few months ago she celebrated her keen see near ya. yesterday was her funeral. brice mckinney is friends with leilah's older brother, nathan, who was also shot but survived. >> he called me. that was probably the most emotional conversation i've ever had. >> reporter: hearing that pain created the motivation for brice to bring students together from the rival schools, to help the victims, their families, students and community heal. >> and what is it about the rivalry, then, that will kind of like flow into this, it weaves into this as well? >> i think there is no more

rivalry. there is no rivalry. everybody is coming together for something that happen and not worried about the rivalry. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning: saturday," mireya villarre villarreal, odessa, texas. >> it's amazing to hear him say that, there is no rivalry. >> the towns have decides between them, but when it comes to that game day, they're all in it. >> because you all know what that feeling is like. you join the same team on that day. we have much more news ahead, but first here's a look at the weather for your weekend. family religion and national pride, the values americans hold

[conference phone] has joined the call. hey baloney here. i thought this was a no by-products call? land o' frost premium. a slice above. back in 1998 "the wall street journal" co-sponsored a survey of american values. now 21 years later those same questions were put before the public once again. and the most recent poll shows some big shifts between current

generations. for example, regarding patri patrioti patriotism, 80% of americans age 55 and older say it's a very important value. but among those 18 to 38, only 42% do. these shifting values are the subject of an article in this week's "atlantic" magazine. we're joined by author derek thompson, a staff writer. good to see you. >> good to be here. >> you wrote about unaffiliation, even anti-affiliation. why? >> they're not just less likely to call themselves patriots or prot stands. they're less likely to call themselves democrats or republicans or environmentalists. they ashoe labels across the board. i think it's because they've grown up in a point in time where institutions have failed us. they've had their economic fortunes pinched in a not so great recovery. every morning they seem to wake up and some pillar of the order

is crumbly whether it's crisis in the catholic church or jeffrey epstein or terrible climate change catastrophe happening in the world. i think there's a feeling among this jen ration that the leaders and institutions of the past are no longer working and if they want spirituality and leading, they'd better go elsewhere. >> the whole idea of the nuclear family has changed. how do we move forward or they move forward past that? >> there's a couple of things to look to here. on one hand the poll says they find it less important to have children. >> it's a big number. >> it's a big number. the fertility rate has declined more than 10% this decade. it's not just about them being young but happening in the u.s. and the western world because fertility is declining across the world. it's also about the decline of marriage among certain groups, among working-class americans, particularly those who don't go to college. the marriage rate is declining

as well. you look at this idea of the nuclear family which has very clearly been the pillar of american identity for decades, even centuries, and something is happening to it as well. >> yeah. the idea of traditional family has certainly changed. there isn't just one way to have a family. there's a lot of things when you're talking about millenni s millennials, but americans overall, they're embracing community and tolerance. what's the impact there? there are things where there's the idea of co-lekkivety. >> in a way you could think of people's identity is shifting from elites. it's shifting from a virtual identity to a horizontal identity, that they associate themselves less with traditions of the past and more with current victims of those traditions. so young people are more likely to say i care a lot about minorities in this country. i care a lot about victims who are victims of economic and social injustice. >> even if they're not victims themselves. >> exactly. i'm interested in building

solidarity with those groups rather than giving my failty to groups of the past. >> it sounds like group empathy is going on here. >> absolutely. >> to put some of this in perspective, it's always been the case younger people want change and oiler people, aujing, want things to stay the way they are. you think there's a fundamental shift in america that's changed that dynamic. >> you're exactly right. this is what demog graers are calling age effects. are you saying this because you're young. they're not more lib ran than older but much more liberal than those of the past. they're far more likely to vote democratic, be accepting of socialism and social liberalism today. i do think it's the case, yes, they're like this because they're young. but also something big is changing. >> really, really fascinating stuff. dereck, thank you. we'll continue to watch the impact that it has politically. coming up, lots of mothers

♪ he are interesting and intimate pictures of great britain's new rulers, king george vi and queen elizabeth. in the days before television, news reels brought images of world events to local theaters, but at home the images came from phenomenal photographers in "life" magazine. first published in the late 1930s, the magazine was the first to tell stories primarily with pictures, and while most of "life's" photographers were men, some pioneering women were also behind the lens. their story is now being told at a museum exhibit here in new york city. now, this has very special meaning. she used you for a picture. >> she used me.

1944. her talent revealing itself in a wide range. >> there's a lot of verrett. judy garland with liza minnelli, and she was born. wow. >> one here, jackson pollock. years later one became a postage stamp. >> i have it now on my wall. sometimes i walk by and see movement. it's shocking. it's like she captured something that was very in the moment. >> reporter: waxman says this photograph of singer billy eckstein takeen in 1949 was one of the most meanful to her mom. >> why do you think she was proud of it. >> well, because she was very supportive of it and what it was saying. you know, talent, human beings enamored by another human being, and that's what it was about. >> colorblind.

p.t. barnum would have taken great interest in. two years ago there was a movie starring hugh jackman. this dwreer, a book called "barnum: an american life." so we met the author and traveled to barnum's historic museum to explore how barnum defined his age and ours. the traveling circle was that p.t. barnum created is dead, but his mark on american culture lives on. >> he's never gone out of t public mind. >> reporter: robert wilson wrote the book, "barnum: an american life," published this summer. we met wilson at the barnum museum in bridgeport, connecticut, where barnum once served as mayor. >> i think that people, whether they know a lot about barnum or a little about barnum, they understand he has this iconic status in american history. >> phineas taylor barnum was born in 1810, during a period when the country was just establishing its place in the

world. >> the 19th century is the story of ordinary people spreading their wings, and barnum helped people come out. he was somebody who was really pushing them to know the world better. >> reporter: barnum's first big step onltd the stage was perhaps his first indefensible. he bought the right to exhibit a woman named joice heth who claimed she was 161 years old and the former nurse maid of president george washington. >> he started out as a person who had conventional attitudes toward race for many americans in the 1830s. >> he started out as a person who put on display what he said was a 161-year-old slav. >> i ya, exactly. >> reporter: in 1842 barnum opened the american museum on broadway in manhattan. the museum exhibited scientific instruments, modern appliances, waxwork, and exotic animals.

there were also barnum's human discoveries. isaac spraying, the living skeleton, a so-called mammoth lady, listed at 576 pounds. and the feejee mermaid, advertised as the remains of a beautiful seamaiden, actually a monkey's body sewn onto a fish. wilson said barnum's career can be summed up in one word, humbug. >> for him, humbug meant creating a stirring somebody, pumping something up to the extent that people would want to realkt to it by spending 25 sents and going to his museum. but you'd better give them more than their money's worth. >> reporter: kathleen maher is the executive director of the barnum museum. >> barnum was obsessed with the biggest things, the greatest shows, but also the smallest

things. >> reporter: that includes barnum's most famous performer tom thumb, a little person who barnum found at age 5, and started exhibiting at 6. thumb's staged wedding in 1863 was a senn saeng that helped distract the nation from the civil war. >> so this outfit is 175 years old. >> yeah. it's the napoleon costume that tom actually wore at his performances. >> when you say performances, what do you mean? >> he would sing, he would dance, he would joke, he actually had a cigar. he would even drink wine. >> a 6-year-old. >> it sounds absurd, but child stars have been around for a long time. >> reporter: maher insists that barnum is much more than just an exaggerated showman. he was a strong believer in freedom of speech. when the local newspaper wouldn't run his opinions, barnum published his own and spent two months in jail after

he was accused of libel. as barnum spoke his mind, he filled his coffers. he may have been the first american to discover just how lucrative entertainment could be. >> barnum becomes one of the first, you know, millionaires in the country. so he actually has this incredible nugget ring created. >> my god. >> that is an englaving of his iranistan mansion that he built in bridgeport in -- take your hand so you can feel the weight of this. >> reporter: like its subject, bob wilson's book has been a magnet for attention. that might be because of another entertainer and businessman turned politician. >> i think i have this if nothing else to thank president trump for. >> everybody wants to make that connection. >> yeah. >> is it right or not? >> i mean it's an interesting connection to make. i mean they're both new york

figures. barnum was heavily into real estate. it must be said that barnum's relationship with the truth was quite slippery. >> barnum wrote a book called "the art of money getting." >> yeah, exactly. >> reporter: wilson says that barnum should be judged by the standards of his time and how he changed. barnum would go on to become an abolitionist eventually running for the connecticut state. his homes and museums burned five times, killing scores of animals. his elephants invariably died at an early age. he ee eventually became a major backer of the aspca. >> after he created the circus -- >> he didn't create the circus until his retirement. so much more than what people think. >> reporter: barnum also set aside money to build the bridgeport scientific society today known as the barnum

museum. he died at age 81 before it was finished. >> this is the third floor. >> reporter: in recent years the museum has been badly damaged by a tornado and two hurricanes. some are hoping the renewed interest in barnum leads to $25 million rebuild and a continued reassessment of his life. >> is your goal in this book to rehabilitate him? >> i didn't start out with a goal. i mean i was just interested in him as character. but what i found was i admired him. >> why did you come to admire him. >> i think it's his ability to change. i think if you're willing to sort of look deeper, look for the complications in his character, see the ways in which he changed, then, you know, it's possible to see him in a new light. >> the famous quote is "there's a sucker born every minute." there is no evidence to suggest that p.t. barnum ever said that, right? >> he should be known for what?

>> the museum said he should be known for the line, the noblest art is the art of making others happy. that was his goal. clearly he changed as he aged. it's interesting reading his book and looking at what who he was and what he did. >> fascinating that thank you both so much. one car company put on quite a show on a racetrack in europe. when their vehicle topped 300 miles per hour, they claimed victory in a fierce competition with their super carr rivals. but not so fast say some people. we'll go for a ride and look at the scramble for speed next. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." >> announcer: this portion sponsored by toyota. let's go places. it was sophie's big day. by the way, she's the next mozart. as usual we were behind schedule. but sophie's enthusiasm cannot be dampened. not even by a run-away donut.

$3 million chiron was clocked at of every 300 miles per hour on a test track in germany. the claim is controversial. some car enthusiasts say that if bugatti's modified super car is not sold to the public as is, did they really win the race to 300? don dahler's going to tell us. >> reporter: test driver andy wallace pushed the specially modified bugatti chyron to 304.77 miles per hour on volkswagen's five-mile-long test track in germany. volkswagen owns bugatti as well as fellow exotic brands lamborghini and bentley. immediately following the achievement, bugatti's president stephen winkleman announced they are retiring from the speed record business. but if the car was modified, can bugatti really claim they made the first production vehicle to

exceed 300? ""road & track"" editor in chief travel is okulski says ohm if they start selling this version of chiron. >> the other guys in the game say the race to the record is still on. >> reporter: the other guys say the race to the record is still on. last april we visited one of them, texas-based hennessey performance. they're trying to make a road-legal everyday drivable product car capable of 300. in response to bugatti's record, they tell us the caribou gatti tested is a prototype and not a production spec car and thus does not qualify as a true production car. swedish super carr maker koenigsegg which held the previous speed record agrees. we drove a production version. i was actually a customer car. he is hoping to make a run at

the record within the next year in a car anyone with, oh, say, $3 million could buy. >> these cars are million dollars and people say, oh, you must make a ton of money on each car. no. we have normal profit margins, but they cost almost as much to make as we sell them for. >> reporter: these are the rarest of creations made from the rarest of materials. carbon fiber and aviation-grade metals. >> do you think 3 sun is this magic round number that gets people excited because it seems absurdly fast. >> it is absurdly fast and no one should ever drive that fast on a public road. but it's showing people what's possible. knowing you have this incredible machine with this huge performance band, this huge performance envelope is exciting. it also shows what modern technology is capable of. >> is it important to be the first? >> well, i think it makes a bit

of a difference, yeah, for sure. >> as for the first production car to go 300, koeniggsegg is betting on the jesko named after his father who helped young christian barely into his 20s go after a dream. >> it was a very emotional day for him and for me. >> reporter: his tiny company hit the big time. >> this is the -- >> reporter: the popular british car show top gear vaulted the koeni koenigsegg from obscure toy to international fame when its ccx set the track record. >> it was like a springboard for bigger things. we noticed in our sales, our customer base grew, and we could develop the cars a little bit faster and take them to the next level. >> are you ready? >> i'm ready. >> talk about a next level, this

is the regera, a 1700 horsepower gas/electric hybrid that he says can reach 280 miles per hour. >> you're not shifting. >> yes. >> reporter: one of christian's inventions. k koenigsegg will eventually produce a little run of 30 of these models a year in their factory on a retired swedish air force base. they use the old air strib nearby as a test track. >> we wanted the car to be practical with decent luggage space. i should be roomy, safe with airbags and have a stereo. we even have cub holders. >> reporter: so in the world of ridiculous will i will expensive, ridiculously fast super cars, just how important are bragging rights?

and consume content these days, you know, we're on amazon prime as you know. you can stream eight hours and it felt like an eight-hour movie really. a big movie. >> you say this character that you play is very dark and you have secrets. we see in the first episode there's something he ee not willing to share just yet. how do you relate to this character when you think about someone who has these secrets, or how much do we all sort of relate with someone who doesn't want to share with what's bothering them and not allowing them to be vulnerable? >> i think with him, he was an interesting man. he was institutionalized his whole life. he was raised into the army and then becomes a detective. you know, this secret he has, i sorpt of like -- and as it evolves, you'll see -- i can't give it away. >> no spoilers. >> for me, it was like his super power, because it enables him to become this even pathetic being

nondescript hotel rooms around the world, ron has personally strung federer's rackets, nine fresh ones, each match. >> this racket will be used in like six or seven hours. >> yes that and then what happens to it? >> it gets back to me and i cut out the strings. >> you cut them out. >> yeah. >> what's wrong with the strings? >> they lose tension. >> reporter: most pros just use local stringers provided by the tournament and that was good enough for the players who made this year's u.s. open finals. but for a hefty fee, some elite players hire one stringer to follow them around the world. while ron paints the wilson logo on federer's rackets, just over there on the left is glynn roberts, stringing for novak djokovic, another tennis a great. >> what's the pitch to these guys that your service is worth

it? >> consistency. >> reporter: that fixation on consistency is what created the personal stringing business. ivan lendl, a star obsessed over perfectly strung rackets and other top players soon noticed. mats welander was ranked number one in the world in the late '80s. it's about comfort. you want to be 100% sure that your rackets are exactly the same. >> it's going to affect the balance and swing rakt. >> but before strings even go on a frame, someone like roman prokes has studied the player's swing to decide exactly how toed by their racket. in 2017 he suggested changes for djokovic. >> it became somewhat predictable on the court where he can go with certain shots because the racket wouldn't allow him to use the whole
