[ laughter ] >> stephen colbert will never run out of material. now, i love chance, i love james corden, but please translate what that song was. >> i have no idea. >> i loved it. >> i was listening with both ears! welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with this. a lot of angry people in california, where hundreds of thousands of people in that state could be without power for days in the largest public safety outage in that state's history. pg&e started shutting off the power last night in more than half of california's 58 counties because of what the company calls an unprecedented wildfire danger. >> roughly 800,000 customers are likely to be affected. jonathan vigliotti is in santa

rosa, about 50 miles north of san francisco. and jonathan, i understand the neighborhood you're in was destroyed by wildfires just two years ago? >> reporter: good morning to you. it's been two years, and still many homes in this neighborhood under construction. for that reason, many of the people we've spoken with say they understand the need for these power cuts but worry about how many days they'll be in the dark. already at this hour we can tell you more than 200,000 people are without electricity. wind gusts expected to pick up to 50 miles per hour. pg&e at this point taking no chances. this is what pg&e hopes will never happen again. >> station fire underneath the transmission line. >> reporter: a wildfire sparked by faulty transmission lines and fueled by high winds devastated the town of paradise, killing 85 and destroying almost 19,000 buildings last november. pg&e is facing billions in liability for that fire. >> this time, the state's largest energy provider can't afford to take any chances, no

be extremely cautious if you are a smoker. it might be a good week to quit. >> reporter: and pg&e says they are spending billions of dollars over the next four years to make safety upgrades, but they do warn customers of significant increases to their power bills. those customers that we have spoken with say they already spend enough money on what they say should be safe power. >> jonathan, thank you. that is the last thing those customers want to hear. we thank you. we have breaking news from turkey, where the country's president says a military operation targeting u.s.-backed kurdish forces is under way in northern syria. u.s. troops were ordered to get out of the way before that mission began. turkish soldiers gathered at the syrian border early this morning and air strikes have been reported inside syria. turkey's president tweeted this -- "our aim is to destroy the terror corridor which is trying to be established on our southern border." we have breaking news from eastern germany, where two people were killed in a shooting

this morning. police say they've arrested one suspect. they urge people near the scene to stay in place during the manhunt. senior foreign correspondent mark phillips has new information. mark, what do we know. >> well, at this point, we know where the shooting took place, in the town of halle, southwest of berlin, and we know there are at least two victims. police say they have arrested one suspect, but it's unclear if anyone else was involved. a german tv station has been airing this video of a man in military clothing firing a rifle from behind a car. it doesn't show what he was shooting at, but the location and the clothing seems to match other pictures that were taken of the same event. this is the yom kippur holiday, and there is a synagogue in the area, so the suspicion expressed by local media is that this was an anti-semitic attack. the suspect was then reported to have fled by car. there were reports of firing elsewhere, but it's not clear if that was in connection with the

arrests the police have reported. german authorities have announced a further tightening of security around synagogues and jewish cemeteries. a country that has experienced a notable rise in anti-semitic sdpints ov incidents over the past few years may have had another. >> mark, thank you. president trump's fight against the house impeachment inquiry is turning into a battle royale. in a letter to top congressional democrats, the president's white house counsel called their inquiry unconstitutional and said mr. trump will not cooperate. the white house is daring house speaker nancy pelosi to call for a vote on impeachment or take the president to court. pelosi said in a statement last night, "mr. president, you are not above the law, you will be held accountable." nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, what happens now? >> reporter: well, democrats say they're not going to let the white house force them into taking aote that they say they're not required to do. and beyond that, privately, some democrats worry that taking this

vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry would give the minority party an opening to demand more investigative powers of its own. >> mr. president, are you interviewing lawyers to represent you? >> reporter: the white house now says its refusal to cooperate is rooted in the law. in an eight-page memo, the president's lawyer writes that the house impeachment probe has denied the president the right to cross examine witnesses, to call witnesses, to have access to evidence, and many other basic rights. >> we have basically an investigation right now which we're not allowed to provide -- see evidence that they're bringing forward, we're not allowed to cross examine. >> reporter: democrats say the memo simply invents excuses to stone-wall. >> this is really unprecedented. congress has a responsibility to conduct oversight. it's a particularly serious responsibility in the context of an impeachment inquiry. >> reporter: democrats are gathering evidence around the president's now-infamous july phone call with the ukrainian

president. an early memo from the whistle-blower cited a white house official who was on the call and described it as crazy and frightening. >> the american people have the right to know if the president is acting in their interests. >> reporter: the house issued another subpoena tuesday after the administration blocked gordon sondland, a key witness, from sitting for a deposition at the last minute. the president said he couldn't allow sondland to go before a totally compromised kangaroo court. >> this entire thing is a political charade. >> reporter: a handful of republicans defended mr. trump, even as they urged the white house to loop them in next time. >> ambassador sondland says he's disappointed that he wasn't allowed to attend this deposition today. >> yeah, and i said the same thing. we're -- we wish we would have been able to testify, too, but we fully understand why the administration made the decision they did. >> reporter: democrats argue that if they were to take this formal vote that the white house wants, the president would simply come up with some other reason to block them from

getting access to documents and witnesses. yesterday on a teleconference with reporters, a senior administration official refused to answer questions about the conditions under which the white house would cooperate. gayle? >> nancy, thank you. chief washington correspondent major garrett is at the white house with more onhis story. major, both sides really digging in. help us understand why the white house wants nancy pelosi to hold a formal vote or an impeachment inquiry. >> reporter: well, it's arguing history, gayle. in every previous impeachment process the country's gone through, andrew johnson, richard nixon and bill clinton, there's been an impeachment inquiry vote at the beginning of it. speaker pelosi says the house can determine its rules. she's not required to have this vote, but there's politics, of course, behind this. the white house assumes that if there is a vote on an impeachment inquiry, it could unite republicans and divide democrats, that there is some small number of house democrats in districts president trump won in 2016 who might vote against it. and even if it prevailed, the

white house could argue, hey, we lost, but there's a bipartisan coalition opposed to an impeachment inquiry. there's another practical aspect as well. the white house assumes all house republicans will vote against an impeachment inquiry, and if they do, it would be very difficult, regardless of the evidence that emerges, for any house republican to vote for an article of impeachment if it voted against the inquiry in the first place. the white house wants to lock down house republicans. and for those reasons, nancy pelosi doesn't want to dance to the tune the white house is trying to call. >> so, what happens next? >> reporter: this goes to federal courts, in all likelihood. the white house has said it's not going to cooperate. the house democrats say we have a legitimate impeachment inquiry, whether you think so or not. and the federal courts will probably be asked to adjudicate access to documents, witnesses, and other matters the house believes pertain to the impeachment inquiry. and when the white house says this is illegitimate, the courts may look at its previous history of not cooperating with other congressional oversight, rule

against it, and that could put the white house not only in a perilous legal position, but a political one as well. >> all right, major. thank you. >> thanks, major. a stunning, new report overnight reveals a rape allegation against former nbc news anchor matt lauer and a claim it was ignored. "variety" magazine published new information about the alleged attack, that it was part of a wave of sexual misconduct allegations against lauer that ultimately led to his firing in 2017. our national correspondent, jericka duncan, is here. jericka, what's described in this report? >> well, a lot of horrific details. you know, the details come as part of a new book by journalist ronan farrow. this is the first time that we've heard of a rape allegation involving matt lauer. according to "variety," the book doesn't just paint a picture of a man who allegedly used his power to get what he wants, but it also accused executives of not taking action. >> matt, matt, matt! >> reporter: two years after matt lauer's fall from grace, a new report sheds light on the

more explosive details from the sexual assault allegations against him. "variety" magazine reveals that in an interview with ronan farrow for his new book "catch and kill," former nbc news employee brooke nevils says lauer raped her in her hotel room at the sochi olympics. lauer says he invited nevils to her hotel room after a night of drinks. once in the room, she alleged he pushed her against the door and additioned her, then pushed her onto the bed, flipping her over and asked if she liked, quote, anal sex. she says she declined several times but was in the midst of telling him she wasn't interested again when he just did it. nevils recalls that the encounter was excruciatingly painful. nevils says there were more sexual encounters with lauer when he returned to new york, telling farrow "this is what i blame myself most for. it was completely transactional. it was not a relationship." farrow says nevils told

colleagues and superiors at nbc about the encounters. in 2017, when the me too movement gained momentum with the downfall of hollywood mogul harvey weinstein, farrow says nevils confided in former today show co-anchor meredith vieira about the alleged assault. vieira urged her to file a formal complaint with nbc's office of human resources, which farrow says she did. according to nevils, after lauer was fired, she learned that nbc news president noah oppenheim and chairman andrew lack were, quote, emphasizing that the incident had not been criminal or an assault. >> he really used his power in these situations. >> reporter: "variety's" elizabeth wagmeister originally broke the story on the wave of sexual assault allegations against lawyer in 2017. at the time, they say nbc news executives knew about lawyer's alleged predatory behavior. >> it wasn't just low-level employees that had knowledge of matt lauer's inappropriate

conduct with women. there were also higher-level employees that were aware and openly speaking about matt lauer's conduct with other women at the "today" show. >> according to "variety," farrow writes, nevils left nbc in 2018. the network suggested she tell people she left to pursue other endeavors. in a statement this morning, nbc news tells cbs that they find lauer's conduct appalling, horrific, and reprehensible. they say "that's why he was fired within 24 hours of us first learning of the complaint. our hearts break again for our colleague." cbs news reached out overnight to representatives for nevils, lauer, oppenheim and lack, but have not heard back. sources at nbc news told "variety" they haven't read the book yet, but they plan to defend the company's decision against any of farrow's claims. >> wow, disturbing, new details on a lot of different levels. >> yeah, really disturbing. >> all right, jericka. thank you very much. another couple has been sentenced in the sweeping college admissions scandal. a judge sent gregory and marcia

abbott to prison for one month. prosecutors say the couple paid $125,000 to have their daughter's college entrance exam fixed in order to get her into duke university. this comes as we learn prosecutors will seek a substantially higher prison sentence for actress lori loughlin in the scandal. she has pleaded not guilty. presidential contender bernie sanders says he may have to slow down his campaign after he suffered a heart attack last week. the 78-year-old senator is recovering at his vermont home. he told reporters he was, quote, dumb to ignore signs of trouble. >> i should have listened to those symptoms. i should have listened to those symptoms. so, if there's any message that i hope we can get out there, it is that i want people to pay attention to their symptoms. >> sanders says he will be part of the upcoming democratic candidates debate next tuesday. it's in ohio. there is growing concern about a popular heartburn drug and its potential link to

an fda alert about an impuritiy in the medication. zantac is used by about two million americans every year. dr. jon lapook spoke to two groups. researchers who suspect the problem could be serious for consumers. you take the entire tablet as a patient would and sdrofl it into the salvagent. >> reporter: at this connecticut lab called valasewer, researchers test drugs from its online pharmacy to check for purity and quality. last spring they analyzed heartburn drugs to see if they contained ndma, a chemical known to possibly lead to cancer. that same chemical had led to recalls of some bluood pressure pills last year. one medication stood out -- thaddeous green aon zantac and its generic version of ranitidine. >> the active ingredient in zantac appears to be a fundamentally unstable molecule. >> reporter: light reported to the fda his suspicion that the

problem is not just an impurity but what could happen to the pill inside the body. >> and in a variety of conditions, conditions of the lab, conditions of the human body, it can break down and then form the carcinogen ndma. >> reporter: you're saying the ranitidine itself can break down and form the ndma? >> correct. >> reporter: that it could be converted in the body was presented three years ago by william mitch, a professor at stanford university. ten volunteers were given a tablet of zantac, and their urine was tested. ndma levels were more than 400 times greater than what the fda considers acceptable. the results held up when adjusted for updated fda testing guidelines for ndma in ranitidine. >> we weren't expecting to see ndma itself forming through conversion in the body. >> reporter: what was the implication to you when you saw that there was so much ndma in

the urine? >> the implication was that there was potential cancer risk. >> reporter: three months after valassure alerted the fda to its findings, the agency issued a safety alert saying its own testing found low levels of ndma in ranitidine. it is now calling even those levels unacceptable. the agency told cbs news it is now investigating what happens to ranitidine inside the body after it's exposed to stomach acid. what do you think happens going forward now? what would you like to see happen? >> what we've been petitioning for is for the complete roadside baum of all ranitidine products. brand, generic, doesn't matter, doesn't matter who made it or what lot number it is. >> reporter: zantac's maker told cbs news that the mitch study has limitations. the company also said it is working with the fda and doing its own robust testing. while zantac is still being sold, some generic makers have issued voluntary recalls. >> if they're calling for complete recall here, should

people stop taking these drugs? >> the problem here is there's so many questions that are unanswered. we do not know the answer t ers. >> interesting to hear -- glad something was flagged three years ago. we're still -- >> why didn't somebody -- >> it was basically missed is what you're saying. >> nobody saw it or maybe they saw it and didn't act on it. there are still so many questions. i know it's disquieting to not know what to do. we fall back on, look, speak on your clinician and talk about the possible alternatives there are if that's something that you want to consider. there are lots of alternatives to zantac and ranitidine. e-cigarettes could be making your air travel dangerous. ahead, the new concerns that

every day many americans wake up worrying about the mental health of a family member or loved one. an estimated 47.6 million adults in the u.s. experienced mental illness last year. that's one in five adults in this country. this morning, we're announcing an upcoming special show to address this urgent issue. >> "cbs this morning" will broadcast a live town hall "stop the stigma," a conversation about mental health on october 23rd.

it will feature a live studio audience of people affected by mental illness in various ways and hear from medical professionals. "queer eye" star karamo brown, my apology, will discuss his experience with depression. we'll speak to lady gaga's mother, cynthia, about how mental illness has affected a family. many more names will be announced soon. our goal is to launch a national conversation to help break down stigma surrounding mental health. dr. sue varma is among the experts who will participate in the town hall. she's a fellow of the american psychiatric association. one of the many organizations we are consulting with for the special show. she joins us now. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> stigma and mental health. these con seft -- concepts are intertwined and shouldn't be in this country. what is the impacts of stigma on -- the impact of stigma on people's ability to get what they need. >> it is detrimental.

stigma is about lack of education, back of awareness, and times even when people have both it comes down to a lack of compassion and empathy. we have an anything, but how will it translate into action? that's what we need. we need action. we need people on every level to understand not getting the help we need only makes the problem worse. when we have stigma, we are creating shame and blame. when we blame somebody for having type-one diabetes, we would not. would we blame someone for having the flu or broken arm, this is no difference. >> you say blame and shame get you nowhere, but it exists. why do you think after all this time and so many well-known people have come out talking about it, people have members of their family that suffer from mental illness. it's still there, why? >> we don't think of the brain as an organ. when we see behavior we think they have a capacity to change. the reality is a lot of times people are not aware of the symptoms. we need to know what the symptoms. somebody says just snap out of it. if you had a 103-degree fever and were suffering from the flu, how effective if your family

said snap out of it? >> what are some of the most significant stigmas? >> we think that somebody can change if they're drinking, if they're abusing substances, we think it's a moral failure, that they didn't try hard enough. one thing that's interesting is when people die by suicide, if we want to think of it as somebody dying by cancer, how would it change? the person didn't want to live. any time you have a mental illness or have suicide it affects not only a family, a society, a community of people who are left behind feeling like failures, people who are experiencing it feel like failures. >> talking about the way we are helps break down the stigma. what else can we do? the science is clear. the health ramifications are clear. how do we break through to change this -- this system? >> i think it's so important that people who are celebrated in our community, who are seen toome out and share their able struggles as we have seen, we see that this can be a part of a normal person's life. if we're talking about one in five people, we look around the room right here, all of us are struggling with something at some point in our lives.

so normalizing it and people who -- we put on pedestals, who are our heroes, they need to come out. we need to be open when they're struggling with something. we need to shed a positive light. if you're going to share the best restaurant that you've been too, why can't you tell them the best therapist you've been to? talk about the positive experiences of getting help. focus on that aspect. >> struggling with things like what? you hear mental illness, and that's a big brush. >> yes. >> mental illness, struthling with what -- struggling with what? >> if you're dealing with major depressive disorder. somebody saying i have difficulty getting motivated, i don't want to get out of bed. i lost pleasure in things i once had, i'm gaining weight, i can't concentrate, i'm anxious, having difficulty making decisions. or somebody saying i have fluctuations in my mood. bipolar disorder, sometimes i feel elated, there are episodes when i can get work done, i feel grandiose, i feel i can buy things in different colors. >> isn't it true that sometimes people don't recognize they're

even -- this is a problem. >> no. yes, we have -- they think what is the difference between going back to a baseline if you're going out of depression and into manic episode. >> we need to recognize it and talk about it. thank you so much. the conversation starts now and it will continue. cbs special live town hall "stop the stigma: a conversation about mental health" airs october 23rd. look for continuing coverage in the days leading up to the show and after as we call attention to this important topic. and sue varma will be back. look forwards to seeing you again. we took a ride on the humanitarian vote with migrants going from turkey to greece. ahead we'll talk to the rescue team and some of the people that they saved. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪

today in "worlds of motion," we examine long and sometimes difficult journey that many people make in their search for

a better life. wars in syria and afghanistan are driving refugees through turkey as they make their way to greece. so many land on the greek island of lesbos which has become the epicenter for the migrant crisis. roxana saberi traveled there and joined the last remaining humanitarian rescue boat in the area helping people get across the sea. >> reporter: this scenic island is known for its tourism. for many migrants and refugees, it's the gateway to a new life here in europe. off the coast of the greek island of lesbos, cries for help. a dinghy has capsized, flinging frightened passengers into the sea. afghan migrants all survived thanks to this small crew. their name is refugee rescue, and their mission is to save lives when people seeking safety and stability dare to cross this perilous stretch of water from turkey to greece.it'six miles fy

which is right behind us to lesbos which is right over here. turkey is home to the world's largest refugee population. with the crackdown on migrants in turkey and tough immigration policies elsewhere in europe, the number of people fleeing to lesbos by sea has soared, the u.n. says, to more than 16,000 so far this year. that's the biggest influx since 2016. as the only ngo left in les bo s with a recession boat, the rescue is working overtime all the time. >> we are tired. we are tired. but that's -- that's our job. >> reporter: in the middle of the night, we watched as they helped to bring dozens of afghan migrants to shore. that's where we met zahra and her 18-month-old son. she said, "we had a lot of trouble. our dinghy was overcrowded and the motor stopped working." this is the dinghy they came in on. there's water in the back and it

looks deflated. these are a couple of the life jackets they were wearing. you can tell by holding them they're fake. >> most of them never saw water or don't know how to swim. >> reporter: are you creating an atmosphere where actually encouraging more migrants and refugees to come because they know they'll be rescued by people like you. >> people did not start crossing because we were here. people are desperate, and they seek safety. >> reporter: that's why zahra said she fled afghanistan. we met her again at a u.n. transit camp where we saw busloads of syrians, yemenese, and afghans stop for food and medical care. what would you like to say to the people who rescued you last night? she said, "we're very grateful for them. we would have ended up." to get an idea of just how many people have made the dangerous journey across the sea, look at this -- tens of thousands of life facts?

discarded on this -- thousands of life jackets discarded here making up what's known as the mountain of misery. for many migrants the misery flows on to share at the camp. -- to shore at the. there are 13,000. no electricity and school, they wait. >> many, many months, no solution. >> reporter: the u.n.'s phillip leclaire calls this place a time bomb. what about the skeptics who say we don't have enough space for more migrants? >> for refugees, people fleeing war, persecution, you have no choice. it's the basic human values. >> reporter: that's why the young volunteers say they do what they do. this afghan man told me he attempted this treacherous journey across the sea four times. he said he couldn't believe that he actually made it this time. he was afraid that they would all die on the way here, and

he's hoping to study in the future and to succeed. what do you feel when you rescue these people who are making this crossing? >> relief and frustration because it's going to be a long journey. >> reporter: refugees still living in camps on this island hope their asylum requests are approved before winter sets in. in the meantime, more people keep arriving on these shores. for "cbs this morning," roxana saberi, greece. >> incredible footage. >> yeah. >> every time i see it i think of the poem, i'm paraphrasing here, but you don't put your child on a boat unless it's safer than the land. >> what they're coming in shows what they're fleeing -- >> we're all migrants or descendants of migrants. we've been walking around a long time. this is happening today. >> you see people literally risking their lives to come to this country. world champion sprinter allyson felix just ran into the history books only ten months

as far as a power outage and you should be able to use mass transit with no problem. the bay bridge not too bad and it is improving, lighter than usual and we typically see traffic back up to the mesa and it is still slow and the busiest spot is off 880 overpass and you see brake lights on the upper deck of the bay bridge and numerous streets and intersections have power outages in the sonoma area with traffic signals out.>> tracking dry, gusty offshore wind and with a wind event today and tomorrow the peak wind is overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning and we will see gusts up to 45 to 55 mph for the higher elevations. a red flag warning in effect in a wind advisory. the strongest wind will be up into the hills in the higher elevations but at least temperatures will be cooler so if you do not have power or ac have milder, seasonal temps, upper 70s in concord and mid- seventies oakland and san jose and the strongest peak wind is

late tonight into tomorrow morning, easing tomorrow afternoon and evening.

welcome back. it's time to bring the "talk of the table." we each pick a story to share with you and with each other. and anthony, why don't you go first. >> all right. last year for the first time in history, america's richest billionaires paid a lower effective tax rate than the working class. that's according to a new book titled "the triumph of injustice" by two esteemed economists. in 2018, the average effective tax rate paid by the richest 400 families in this country was 23%. the bottom half of american households paid 24.2%. the analysis is significant because it includes not just

federal taxes but state and local taxes and corporate taxes. that's what makes the study different. it's interesting that back in 1980 those richest 400 families paid a tax rate of 47%. if you go back to 1960, it was 56%. it's been cut virtually in half. the top 400 families in this country now have more wealth than the bottom 60%. >> wow, that does seem out of whack. i refuse to comment on the story because i know some billionaires. >> billionaires aren't bad people. >> no. and some of them are very nice people. >> ask warren buffett -- >> doing a lot in this world for people. yes. gayle? >> mine is ellen degeneres. love, love, love, love her. she's responding to the backlash from video showing her and former president george w. bush together during sunday's cowboys game. they were in the owner's box. tv shootage showed the two laughing during the ga. it caused an uproar from critics on social media. on her show she said we're all different and that's okay.

>> i'm friends with george bush. in fact, i'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that i have. just because i don't agree with someone overing doesn't mean that i'm not going to be friends with them. when i say be kind to one another, i don't mean only the people that think the same way as you do. i mean be kind to everyone. doesn't matter. [ applause ] >> amen to that. >> i think that is such an important message that's needed now more than ever. and because ellen is such a comedian, you know, because she got -- a couple of people were snarky and nasty, she said nobody commented that i have the new iphone. i thought that was funny. let's not manipulates the message that she -- miss the message that she was giving. kindness always works, and there's nothing wrong with socializing with people even though you may not agree with their politics. >> we need more of that, not less. >> in this country now, i agree completely. >> thank you, ellen. something else we need more of, good bosses, good managers. a study found a lot of people have had bad bosses out there. and a study suggests about half of workers have actually quit for that reason. workers in 28 u.s. cities were

know. i didn't expect it, you kn. and it was just amazing the amount of support that i got. and also just reassuring that i'm on my path back. >> and in addition to beating international competition on the track, you beat the odds in surviving a 13-hour flight with an infant on the way over. >> by the way, the way back to come here -- >> yeah. >> i love your tweet about the mom life. feels like winning a gold there. what was it like to have your daughter be witness i think for the first time now to these victories? >> it was amazing. i want to be a good role model. this year was about fighting. fighting for so much. and i want to eventually tell her that story of that. but she'll be able to see, you know, that i did try to overcome some adversity. >> your daughter spent 29 days in the nicu. which, i mean, had a week with my daughter in the nicu. those are really nervous days. >> they are. it accepts off a heavy -- it's such a heavy place. there's so much going on, so much doubt and uncertainty. >> three pounds, right? >> yes. >> how early was she? >> she was two months early. it was a really scary situation.

everyone is affected by. and i tackled it in my industry. but i think that's just really the starting point. that's why i want to leave behind changes for the next generation and for my daughter. >> i love your argument. in the essay she says being pregnant is not a performance reduction. the contracts are saying, you're not running, you're not running as fast. change the language, i think. >> change the language. you're still -- you're using my likeness and i'm making appearances, you're still working extremely hard. you're still training, as well. >> after you had this dispute with nike, they changed the language in the contracts. were you satisfied with what they did? >> i was. i think you can always do more. i was grateful. i was disappointed that i had to fight so hard in 2019 that this is still an issue. i've since moved to a great partner athleta, and i feel like our mission in the lines of empowering women and girls. but yes, i was -- i felt like they did the right thing. >> what is the issue that we really need to understand exactly? that we don't get? what is it?

>> i think it's that, you know, once you have a baby, your career's not over. you know, that you can have a flourishing career on the track or wherever it is, and that there's still more left to give. that you shouldn't be penalized for that. >> are we going to see you and your daughter at at the olympics in 2020? >> that's the plan. working hard to be there. >> your fifth olympics, but they never get old, do they? >> never. so sweet. >> let's talk about your daughter. your priorities changed. on the 18th, november, you said, entering my 33rd year stronger and empowered, learning to allow myself to be powerful. then it's houston, we have a problem with the baby. your priorities totally changed that day. you were going to a photo shoot. >> i was. i was still trying to go when the doctor told me to go to the hospital. my daughter really helped me to find my voice. you know, to speak out on these issues that i normally wouldn't have. and really to try to create some change. so she's been my motivation. >> without sounding stupid with two os, how are you able to run

when you're pregnant? i'm not a runner obviously. >> yeah. >> how were you able to do that? >> you just do it. you know, you're -- you feel -- >> not a special thing -- >> i used a fit splint to help secure my belly. and, you know, your body can do amazing things. >> i know that. >> you make sure you talk to your doctor and that you're all cleared. i continued to train and felt great. and i think it made me stronger. >> we're rooting for you in terms of 2020. >> we are. >> and your fight for women's rights and parental rights here. >> thank you so much for being here. >> thank you for that. >> only on "cbs this morning," we talk to steven spielberg about his documentary series "why we hate." >> this has been a subject that has been very close to me personally and a subject that seems to be even more relevant today compared to even ten years ago. >> is this a legacy project? >> i don't think of it as a legacy project. i think of it as sort of a mandatory project.
