>> reporter: good morning to you, tony. this morning, michael bloomberg's campaign responded by saying that qualifying for this debate shows that the former mayor's message is resonating with americans, and he looks forward to competing with the other candidates on stage wednesday night. keep in mindnd bloomberg is not running here in saturday's caucuses where the candidates are reaching out to a more diverse group of voters. >> having a cabinet, having a team that is like the rest of america matters. we've got to have representation. >> reporter: candidates are making their final pitches in a state where one-third of the electorate is black or latino. >> i have had historically overwhelming support from the african-american community. >> we're going to win this nomination -- >> reporter: with a comfortable lead, bernie sanders campaigned in washington state, looking ahead to states where there will be a new ballot on the -- new

candidate on the ballot. >> you have a record in new york city that included racist policies like stop and frisk. >> reporter: cbs news has learned sanders' aides have privately expressed concern that michael bloomberg with his $415 million in campaign spending would emerge as their most formidable opponent. >> i'm mike bloomberg, and i approved this message. >> reporter: and for the first time, the former new york city mayor targeted sanders directly in a new digital ad accusing sanders of ignoring some of his supporters' aggressive tactics, likening them to president trump. back in nevada, 26,000 voters have already participated in early voting. some waited as long as four hours in line. >> try again tomorrow. >> i don't know if i'll have enough volunteers. >> reporter: after the debacle at the iowa caucus, volunteer seth morrison is worried. >> when we asked on the training this morning how that will work, what kind of data, what kind of

charts, they said, we're working on a video to show you how the paper backup works. >> reporter: nevada scrapped the app that was used in the iowa caucuses. state party officials are confident they have a secure and efficient process in place. gayle? >> what did they tell us in new hampshire, you can't hack a pencil. pencils always work. thank you so much. of course, we're following that story. breaking news overnight from the boy scouts of america. one of the most prominent institutions of the 20th century is struggling to survive. the organization which has about 2.2 million youth members and 800,000 volunteers is filing for federal bankruptcy protection to prepare for a potential avalanche of sexual abuse cases. tens of millions of other americans have been part of scouting over the past 110 years. errol barnett has been covering the story and spoke to a former scout who says he was abused. what is this bankruptcy filing about? this is very -- very unnerving

to hear this about the boy scouts. >> certainly. good morning, team. in an email sent out to members, boy scout leaders said scouting programs will continue, but they plan to use the chapter 11 filing to restructure now and compensate victims. and consider this -- nearly 8,000 boy scout leaders have been accused of sex abuse. ralph moore says he's one of those victims. he never reported the alleged abuse he suffered at the hands of his boy scout leader but claims people knew about it. >> when you close your eyes, it's still there. it will never go away. >> reporter: ralph morris was 11-years-old when he said leader john brown began molesting him in rural upstate new york. what were some of your first memories of john brown? >> john brown was an extremely large man. 6'3", 6'4", 260 pounds. he always put three of us in the front seat of the car for pizza and soda.

back those days, the stick shift is on the column. when you're shifting gears, his hand would drop into your lap. this guy's hand was as big as my head. what am i supposed to do? jump out of the car? scream? run? i mean, it was terrifying. >> reporter: morse, now 67, says his older brother harvey also endured brown's abuse, prompting both boys to drink. >> ended up dropping out of high school. i ended up going down a spiral in a dark place for 25 years. my brother didn't make it. he died at a relatively young age from alcoholism because of the abuse. >> reporter: in a statement, the boy scouts of america tells cbs news they barred brown from the organization when they learned about his actions from law enforcement. and in an email sent overnight, the boy scouts acknowledged systemic failures in protecting their members from abuse while pointing out prevention measures it claims have dramatically

reduced those cases in recent years. what does a bankruptcy filing by the boy scouts mean to you? >> it's an admission of guilt. by filing bankruptcy, you're admitting that in all probability you're going to be liable for these victims. these documented victims. it's going to cost you a great deal of money. >> reporter: morse claims his abuse ended when he stopped showing up to the boy scouts. he believes brown continued to molest other kids for years. brown was arrested in the mid 1980s and pleaded guilty to assaulting a minor. according to a public record, he died back in 1997. >> as mr. morse points out, even if the abuse ended when he left the scouts, the effects lingered for -- >> you see that. that experience is still with him. he says he spiralled out of control. he wants the boy scouts to do more to protect young boys and even the organization that the national chairman acknowledges that measures weren't enough to protect children.

he says he's sorry. >> all these years later you can still feel his pain, it's palpable. >> reporter: that's why he's speaking out. >> one of thousands of alleged cases. thank you. nearly three million people are under a state of emergency in mississippi because of flooding. heavy rain has pushed the pearl river to historic levels around the state capital, jackson. around 1,000 homes are damaged by the floods. omar villafranca is in jackson. what are you seeing? >> reporter: good morning. the water is actually starting to recede. that's the good news. as you can see around me, some neighborhoods are still flooded. now we want to show you a drone shot so you can get a different look at what it looks like. many of the homes around here are still surrounded by water. some of the roads are obviously still covered by water. plenty of debris everywhere. on land and also under the water. state officials warn the threat is not over. across the state, fast-moving water swept up cars and forced several major roads to shut down. yesterday we met with a rescue officer from the wildlife

department who told us they've rescued stranded people and pets from the flood. some elderly people just couldn't get out with the water that was surrounding their homes. after weeks of torrential rainfall, the pearl river crested yesterday at more than 36 feet. the highest level in 37 years, and the third highest ever. businesses along the river have closed until the flooding subsides. county officials gave out more than 400 cases of water to people that evacuated. and governor reeves here in mississippi says president trump did call him yesterday to offer help with those relief efforts. even though this water is going down, there is some bad news -- there is more rain in the forecast. some places are calling for possibly up to three inches. officials are waiting to see what kind of nightmare that could cause here. >> watching the weather reports. thank you so much. some of the americans who fled the coronavirus outbreak in china will finally get to go home today. hundreds of others, though, are

still being quarantined around the u.s. chinese officials confirm this morning that dr. lui ziming, director of one of the hospitals at the epicenter of the outbreak, has died of the disease. carter evans is at travis air force base north of san francisco where the first group of american evacuees is set to be released. >> we just hope that the community that we're going back to accepts us and is not afraid. >> reporter: sam wroth is headed to travis air force base to reunite with his wife and two daughters after a month apart. they were among the first americans evacuated from the epicenter. wroth says they've stayed healthy throughout their isolation. >> they've been provided plenty of food. three meals a day. they have a comfortable hotel to stay in. >> we just landed, carl and i -- >> others like jeri and her husband carl weren't so lucky. they were among the more than 300 americans to arrive on chartered planes yesterday. mid flight, carl developed respiratory symptoms and was isolated on the plane.

their flight landed outside the omaha, nebraska and carl was hospitalized after testing positive for the coronavirus. >> clearly these folks had high index of suspicion that came to us. all of them we knew that we would evaluate them. >> reporter: back in japan, they're aiming to start trials soon using an hiv treatment for the coronavirus. meanwhile, concern is growing about the more than 2,000 passengers and crew aboard the cruise ship "westerdam" after one of those passengers tested positive when they disembarked in cambodia. >> thank you so much. jurors are expected to begin deliberations today in the trial of harvey weinstein. our national correspondent, jericka duncan, has more on the story. good morning to you. what arguments will the jury consider today? >> reporter: good morning. well, the arguments from both

sides. you know, the prosecutors call harvey weinstein a serial rapist and master manipulator. the defense accuses prosecutors of being producers, creating what they call an alternative universe. >> at this point, it will be in the jury's hands -- >> reporter: harvey weinstein's legal team appeared confident on friday. nearly two years after the former hollywood studio chief turned himself over to police, charged with sexual assault, rape, and predatory sexual assault in the cases two of alleged victims. he denies all accusations and insists this was all consensual sex. since the trial began last month, the prosecution called on four additional accusers to establish a pattern of criminal misconduct. now a jury comprised of seven men and five women will determine if that effort was successful. >> you have six accusers telling somewhat similar stories about how harvey weinstein acted in

esence as a predatory monster, then you have a strong case. >> reporter: we spoke with legal analyst rikki klieman who broke down the jury's road ahead. when you look at the two main witnesses, do you see there being room for the jurors to have reasonable doubt? >> there is always room for jurors to have reasonable doubt when you've had vigorous cross-examination. in this particular case, you also have the circumstances of each of the two new york accusers having long-term relationship with harvey weinstein. this jury may take a long time because there's a lot of evidence in this case. >> reporter: what does this trial represent for the me too movement? >> that's the elephant in the room, isn't it? you've been able to see protesters outside. you've seen a packed courtroom. this isn't just about harvey weinstein, and these jurors know it. >> reporter: if convicted on all five counts, weinstein faces up

to life in prison, and even if this case is decided either way, he still faces sexual assault charges in los angeles. tony? >> still more trials to come. juries can be unpredictable. thank you very much. right now it is 7:19. time to check your local good tuesday morning to you. we are starting off the day with cool temperatures. so grab that jacket as you head out the door. not as foggy as your state morning. and starting off the day with partly cloudy to even mostly clear skies. as we head through the afternoon, all of us will be in the 60s. 62 for a high in san francisco. 66 in fremont, concord. thank you five in oakland. and 68 for san jose. we're going to keep this weather going. sunny and mild afternoons.

while in handcuffs after his mother tried to take him to a hospital e.r. jan janet shamlian is outside the polson.l in westerdam. now, the incident is raising questions about how people with potential mental health issues should be treated and cared for. an expert saying hayden should have been met with help, not handcuffs. >> you now personally admit these charges. >> reporter: hayden long pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges, one for assault, the other underaged drinking. >> because the alternative was letting my 16-year-old son go to court as an adult. this was the easiest and the safest route to take. >> reporter: it came after this incident outside the north carolina hospital where his mom

had taken him for help, believing he was having a mental breakdown. security video shows hayden spitting blood on deputy justin polson who responded by punching the 16-year-old in the head. hayden was handcuffed at the time. in court monday deputy polson said he was no longer with the sheriff's department. it's not known if he was fired for his actions. he testified he didn't believe the teen needed mental health treatment at the time. hayden's mom defended her son's behavior. >> mental illness displays in a lot of different ways. maybe he drank the alcohol because mentally ill, he is suffering from something else and trying to self-medicate. >> the video showing hospital security guards and sheriff's deputies responding with force is alarming to angela kimball with the national alliance on mental illness. >> when parents take their child to the emergency department, they are expecting help, not handcuffs. children like hayden deserve treatment and safety, and he got

neither. >> reporter: kimball says hospitals and first responders need to he no how to deescalate these situations. >> trained mental health professionals know that people's behaviors have been very agitated. that's something we have to recognize, otherwise we end up harming people. >> reporter: in court hayden told the judge he was taking anti-depressants at the time. his mother says she hopes the incident will be a wake-up call not just for parents, but also for law enforcement. the family has not decided whether to pursue legal action. gayle. >> janet, that video is tough to watch. thank you very much. i see the tough spot the mother is in, too, she clearly thinks that behavior is egregious and looking at it on the tape it does seem to be so, you also don't want to put your son through that at 16. >> very tough spot. taking the plea when you don't feel he is guilty -- >> you wonder how her son will do under those conditions. ahead, new developments in a controversy we've been following at a catholic school, how the fiancée of one of high school

"cbs this morning" is looking into why prices for many common items have surged in recent years. today we're focusing on the rising cost of alcohol. going out for a drink has, get this, never been more expensive. it's not only you. since 2003 federal data shows a 57% spike in the category they call the cost of alcoholic beverages at bars and restaurants. so what is driving these rising costs? we traveled the country hitting bars an barld barley farms alon way in search of answers. if you like to drink, there's always an occasion. >> why are you drinking tonight. >> 21st birthday. >> having a couple of drinks with friends allows us to relax. >> these days the bill can be sobering. >> we just spent $52 on a couple drinks. it's pretty expensive. >> to find out why, we tracked your drink's journey starting on a cold day in the northern plains. every alcoholic beverage on the

planet starts on a farm like this barley farm in north dakota. grain from these fields and silos could be the source of your next pint of beer and pints of whiskey. farms like this are definitely where your bar tab begins. >> welcome to the end of the world. >> thanks for having me. >> doyle's family has been farming barley here for more than a century. >> give it a big shove. >> nice. >> this is it, what it's all about. >> what it's all about right there. no barley, no beer. >> how much do you make per beer. >> i make about a penny a beer. >> a penny a beer. >> about a penny. >> all of this for a penny a beer. >> a penny a beer. >> he says that's about the same as what his grandfather made. >> pretty sure if alcohol costs are going up probably not starting here in north dakota. >> many claim their drinks are the best or cans are the coldest. >> smoother, crisper taste.

>> hard to find anyone calling themselves the cheapest. we found makers of america's alcohol have not hiked prices, at least not more than inflation. the proof is in a store like this where people buy alcohol for home. cost of a bottle of hard liquor at a store like this up 14% since 2003. the price you pay for the very same drink at a bar or restaurant up 63%. >> you can't plame the peopblam who sell to those bars and restaurants either. jim canton delivers beer in skrant on, pennsylvania. >> you hear the cost of alcohol at a bar is up more than 50% in the past 15 years. are you getting that 50% markup? >> no. >> you're not 50% richer today than you were 10 or 15 years ago. >> absolutely not. >> leaves one possible culprit, america's drinking prices are surging at the bar itself where owners admit alcohol is marked

up 300 to 400% meaning your $10 drink may have originally cost $2.50 or less. >> it's my favorite drink in the world. >> i'd love to make you one. >> the beverage director at brennan's restaurant in new orleans. we wanted to see how she would explain those rising prices. >> that's going to be $13. >> $13. >> you got it. >> it's delicious. but $13. >> $13. >> i've got to ask, then, this is a menu from two years ago, 2017. >> okay. i was here then. >> it's a $10. >> it is. >> tidwell blames state taxes, that is until we showed a second menu from 2003. this is only $6, so the price has doubled since 2003. >> yeah. >> so it's not the farmer or the middleman or manufacturer, the price hike is happening here, it would seem. >> i agree with you, but you also aren't staying home for an

experience. you're coming out. unfortunately the guest does have to pay for that in some way. >> so do the bars and restaurants. more than a half dozen owners we spoke with say even after price hikes profits are slim. that's because of big shifts in the industry, including labor costs. fewer workers are being paid under the table and many states imposed higher minimum wages. >> bartenders come with a giant resume and expect to make more money than ever. all of that ties into a more expensive drink. >> some owners blame credit cards which are now used in about 90% of transactions. those come with fees and a high price to the irs. >> they are not paying taxes, not paying people and drinks are bad. who wants that? >> nobody. exactly. come to brennans and have a

sazerac. >> what is that? >> sazerac is a whiskey drink with a rinse of absinthe and lemon. >> by the way, you buy a whole bottle for $30 bucks. >> thanks to bar owners for helping us understand this. also brennans, who pay their taxes. it's part of a bigger surge. everything is more upscale and analysts call it premiumization. my concern here is if everything is premium, where does a guy go for affordable after work drink, a date, or a business meeting. >> it's pretty astonishing. it is. >> you can't always drink at home. >> especially from one source. if it was all the way down the chain, you could understand it better. >> the farmers aren't richer, brewers, all happening at the bar. but they aren't making more money. they are just barely getting by. >> again i say, shirley temple my drink of choice. grenadine is fine.

the cold war finished the cold war finished more than three decades ago. many americans thought it brought an end to the spy games that defined that era. a new book shows the spies were there all along living among us. it says russian spying on moscow's perceived enemies in the west never really ended. instead, it has just evolved and intensified. russians among us, sleeper cells, ghost stories and the hunt for putin spies covers espionage conducted by russia and united states since 1990s through 2016 election. author gordon carrera is also

security correspondent at our partners bbc. good morning. this is a fascinating book. >> thank you. >> it basically says we took our eye off the ball. >> absolutely. while russia was aggressive spying on the west, the west thought the cold war was over and no need to worry about it. it starts in 2010, a bust, russian spies, illegals, it was seen as a weird throw-back, a joke when they were swapped for other russians. people didn't take it seriously. actually it was a sign russia had not given up its methods, some of which came from the cold war and some new and evolving. >> let's talk about illegals in deep cover, one arrested were cindy murphy. can't be cindy, she likes to garden, look at hydrangeas. they were doing normal everyday stuff, which was so fascinating to me. >> living in the suburbs.

she was doing taxes for people. she and the others had spent years, decades, building their cover as americans, posing as americans when they were, in fact, russians. they learned to live, to sleep, to dream in another language to hide every aspect of their russian past. >> they would have children, too, gordon. when they were arrested, i remember one scene that stood out to me, the fbi knew the kids' nicknames, the code to garages. the kids are like, our parents are spies? >> the fbi had been watching this grand prix for years. they knew they were russian spies but the children of these spies thought they were americans. they that the they were americans. one day the fbi is in the house and they were told, nope, your russians and you're spies. >> fbi broke this case because they had a critical informant inside upper level of russian intelligence. >> i go into new detail in the book about this agent who was recruited here in new york in 1999 by the fbi and run jointly with the cia in moscow for a decade.

it was the fact when he became nervous the russians might be onto him he felt he had to get out in 2010 and that brought this whole operation to a close. >> where is he today? >> he's in hiding. absolutely there's a risk to his life. one of the people swapped for illegals was targeted for assassination with nerve agent in britain between years ago. that gives you an idea how seriously putin took this episode. >> putin because furious they were outed. >> i was told he was so furious he threw his papers up in the air when he found out they had been arrested. it cut his identity. he's a former cia officer. he put an end to russia's humiliation. here, his spies, so proud of, arrested and shown up. that was a really important moment in changing the way putin saw his relationship with the west. >> we've seen russians attack people in england, former agents. do you they would ever do it

here? >> i've spoken to u.s. intelligence officials that certainly believe it's possible. a few years ago they thought it would never happen. russians would never risk it. now we're preparing for the day when it happens. they have seen russia become more aggressive, brazen, take risks, using new methods, cyber illegals who create false identities in days online, use violence in the way they weren't willing to use in the past. >> gordon, what's the end game for putin russia. >> he wants to hold onto power and he believes he wants to keep the west off balance. he's using his spies to basically divide us, keep us off balance, give himself more room for maneuver and keep his hold on power in russia. that's his central aim. >> what motivates people to turn on their own country, gordon. >> that's a good question. it's a really complicated one. sometimes it's money, ideology, sometimes a sense of grievance. it's really complicated. talking to spies, you get a sense it's a very human,

individual story. that's what i wanted to capture in the book, the human stories, why people get involved in spying. what it's like and what it's like to have a family and be a spy. >> you did it good morning. i'm gianna franco. finally, some goodness. we have had our eye on these trouble spots. right around cole street. looking at our caltrans camera, traffic is finally moving. we had a big rig accident, a truck toppled over. it was blocking lanes. only that right lane was open.

>> welcome back to "cbs this morning." in her first tv interview uber whistle-blower susan fowler to reveal the story that led to the resignation of the company's ceo. her words prompted a major restructuring of the business. in whistle-blower my journey to silicon valley and fight for justice at uber, she goes into detail about her sexual harassment allegations. >> she discusses the repeated retaliation she says she experienced for reporting workplace issues to the ridesharing giant's hr department. now, uber sent us a statement saying this. susan's courage to speak up as a catalyst for much needed change at uber and in countless other

organizations around the world. first on "cbs this morning," we are happy to tell you susan joins us at the table to talk about the fallout from that blog post. good morning to you. do you realize that tomorrow will be three years since your blog post. did you realize that? >> that blows my mind. >> i mean, too, because i remember reading it word for word. first question, no judgment here, why did it take you so long to finally tell your story? >> it was so painful. it was so painful to revisit all of these membership reese, all of the things that happened, to go back to my childhood, time at penn, and then to revisit these really painful things that happened at uber. >> the uber part, day one on the job, you have gone through the on-the-job training. orientation, rather. you get an email from your supervisor that says what? >> he sent me company chats. we started talking about things, you know, some work things. then he told me that he was in an open relationship, he was looking for women to have sex with, and it just -- i was like,

oh my god. >> this isn't happening? an email on your screen from the supervisor. >> a company chat. >> so what do you do? >> i just started screen shooting everything that he was saying. i september it off to hr. i assumed this is a big company, they have an hr department, they will take care of this. >> and they did what? >> well, they looked into it. they said, yes, this was sexual harassment. he was propositioning you but this was his first offense. he is a high performer. we don't feel comfortable punishing him. we will give him a stern talking to. they said we will give you a choice. you can stay on his team and receive a retaliatory performance review because you not only, you know, didn't accept his proposition, but you also reported him to hr, or you can go to an entirely different team. >> those were the choices. >> not much of a choice. >> and then you find out later in fact it was not his first offense. you start talking to other female colleagues and you realize this guy has been doing

this before? >> yes. and so we all met with hr because we said if we all meet with them at the same time, they can't tell us -- >> strength in numbers. >> yes. so i had the last -- they wouldn't let us all meet at the same time. so we met -- we had a series of meetings and i was the last one and i got in there and they said -- and i said, you know, this wasn't his first offense. and they said, well, yes, it was, it was a first offense. everybody else was here to complain about you. >> this ends up being a watershed moment for you and also for uber. you make your complaint. they say, yes, this happened, but rather than deal with it, deal with the employee, they tried to say he is a high performer, we are going to move on. how does your life change after that? >> not only moving on, but you are the problem. >> exactly. >> you are the problem. >> rather than deal with it, rather than face up to it then, and you get to go on with your career, what happens? >> i learned that this was kind of playbook, right, that any time i made a complaint, and i

made several complaints over the span of the year that i was there, they would say this is their first offense, this is a high performer, we don't feel comfortable punishing them. we have given them a stern talking to. so i reported my manager for changing my performance review to prevent from transferring to another team. i reported a leather jackets incident. i reported being -- >> we should point out that's amazing. you have got hundreds of engineers that are male. >> yes. >> and everyone is getting a leather jacket as a reward for good performance, and you find out that the women are not going to get them because there is only six of you and they can't get the bulk price. >> yes. >> and you complained about that? >> i did. i reported that. and the engineering director in charge of our group said if you want equality, you are getting equality because it's not fair for the women to have more expensive jackets than the men. >> how defeated did you feel? you had a series of things that happened to you on the job at

uber. >> it was crushing. it took a real toll on my well being and my sense of sephora while because i kept wondering why is this happening? kbr does this keep happening? i started to realize that this was a culture that had values that were about aggression. like one of their values was toe stepping, for example. i realized that's not who i am. >> what is toe stepping? >> it's about it's okay to step op people's toes if you are doing things for the good of the company. >> ultimately, why did you decide to write a blog about all of this? >> i realized that i had to say something. hi to share my story. and i didn't really have anywhere to go except my own blog. and i have always learned things from writing. like i really believe that words change the world. so this was my way of putting my story out there. >> almost immediately you end up fearing for your life because of this blog. >> it was terrifying. >> how so? >> so i realized very quickly that i was being followed.

i would hear these rumors that were being spread through the press that were trying to discredit me. >> who was following you? >> private investigators. >> how do you know that? >> so i was pretty sure they were private investigators because they seemed to be professionals. they were following me -- >> for whom, do you think? >> i suspected uber. >> you recount a conversation with the current uber ceo to said regarding people following you and private investigators, he quote, killed all that crap. we reached out to uber and they told us, quote, the company has no knowledge of hiring anyone to follow or personally investigate you. no knowledge of. >> interesting. >> what do you make of that statement? >> itry it's interesting. when i talked to the new uber ceo and asked him whether -- so i cycled skd him over twitter, chat, actually, whether the company was still having private investigators follow me, and he said he killed all that crap.

that was reassuring for two reasons. first, it confirmed -- i saw it as further evidence confirming that uber had been actually doing this and he had taken steps to stop it. and i thought that was very -- that was a good sign. >> he was being credited with being and making major changes for the better. >> yes. and i thought that was a very good sign, not just that he told me that he had taken steps to end that. >> what did you think would come of the blog post? first you were afraid to release it. >> yes. >> why did you write it to begin with? >> i felt like i had a moral responsibility to share my story. i knew the story at uber. i had documented everything so extensively. and i felt like, you know, if anybody could go and share their story, and i had this opportunity to, i should. >> what would you say to women who are fearful of doing something like that. >> i would encourage them to stand up and speak out because the more of us that do this, the more that we can actually affect change. you have seen the past few years

all these voices gathering together. i am one of many. i am the small voice in a really big choir of men and women who stood up and said we have experienced this stuff, too. >> it's a big choir. your dedication is to your daughter. >> yeah. >> and what is her name? >> seymour grace. i don't want her to ever experience this world that i grew up in. i don't want her to worry about going harassed or discriminated or retaliated against. her only fear, am i dreaming big enough. >> is that a possibility, she could live in a world like that? >> i hope so. >> you wanted to write a book you wish you had gotten to read before you went through this. >> despite what you went through, the after bhats terrifying. do you regret it? >> no. i thought to myself i wish i hadn't done this because of how scary this is and how horrifying -- >> you said that. >> yeah. >> thank you for joining us. the book is an important read.

but it's frightening but it's also very empowering. so, congratulations to you. >> thank you so much. >> the name of the book is whistle-blower. it's on sale now wherever you like to buy your books. coming up, two trail blazers who changed the face of fashion. supermodels beverly johnson and winnie harlow share how they challenged the fashion industry's good tuesday morning to you. plenty of sunshine, mild above- average daytime highs once again as we head through our afternoon. thanks to light offshore winds. so it is a cool start, not as foggy as yesterday for sure. and as we head through the afternoon, all of us will be in the 60s. 62 in san francisco for a high. 66 for concord, fremont. 68 in san jose. we will keep this weather pattern going, cool mornings,

for black history month we are celebrating for black history month we are celebrating trailblazers who have become leaders in their lives. two models that are redefining beverly johnson became the first african-american model to be on the cover of american "vogue" magazine. winnie harlow has graced runways who has a skin condition was on "america's next top model." the trailblazers caught up with each other at the fashion institute of technology here in new york city. >> i was raised in a salon and my mom was selling your products as well as all these amazing

black super model i got to grow up admiring and loving and then also seeing you guys venture out into other things other than just the typical, oh, yeah, she's a model and she can walk a runway, but also she's an entrepreneur. she's a businesswoman. she's a strong black woman. it was really incredibly for me to see growing up. >> tell your mother hi and thank you for supporting me. that was really huge. >> i will. >> one of the things that i as a model found out when i was doing a job and i would kind of cozy up to my white colleagues and say, what are you getting paid for this job? once young lady told me i'm getting three times that number and you've been doing all the work. and she literally, my white colleague got on the phone, called the agency and she was like, this is not fair. this is not fair. and we actually got our rate

raised. i understand that is still a problem today in the industry. there's a huge disparity. >> i always made it a point not to take a job just because i needed money. i needed it to represent something that i stood for. i needed it to be, you know, part of my brand. even being 18, 19 years old. at 18 years old it is little bit about the money but also about building a career. i think sometimes we have to stand up for ourselves when we know we're being wronged. i'm not going to take this one because someone needs to see the v value in me the way i see the value in myself. >> you're a little beverly johnson. what's going on here? in my career, i took all editorial jobs. it was something instinctively i knew that it was important to be seen in the pages of these huge white magazines, "glamour,"

"vogue." >> it was important for the girls to see you, as well. girls like me and all the women today. it was really important to see you on those covers. >> i kind of cluckwhen the "vog cover happened and she is the top black model. i said, no, i'm the top model because i'm on all the magazine cover. >> i love that. ♪ people always try to put a label or a title on something and not allow its greatness in total because you're a super model. you're not just a black super model. you're a black woman, a strong black woman and all those things and you're also a super model. period. point blank. >> thank you. >> but you don't say a white super model. >> exactly. >> i wasn't asked if i wanted the skin condition. >> i'm a spokesperson because i have a skin condition and i'm

not a spokesperson for black people because i'm black. you don't get to label me and put me in a box because it makes you feel comfortable. >> this is how we used to look and it's amazing how it all comes back. and i always had my hair, my head was always wrapped. >> amazing to see the wheels turning now and us making those statements and making those decisions because of the inspiration moving forward into the future for those little girls. all those little things make those differences to where we are today. so, like, i'm happy to walk in your footsteps and continue that march on to be, no, there is still inclusion to be made here. whether it be at this company or at this brand or on this runway or this magazine cover. we need to keep it going. >> i love that piece. i love that piece. >> i have so enjoyed these conversations.

>> me, too. >> wonderful idea. >> girls everywhere looking up to them and saying i want to be like that. beverly johnson saying, no, i'm the top model because i'm on all the covers. who produced that piece? she's on a roll here. thanks. >> interesting to seeing beverly johnson looking at winnie and she absorbed so much of what she was trying to do and had an effect, which means a lot. >> she instinctively knew she needed to be in the big magazines because a little girl like winnie there reading them. >> i love the conversation between the two. a mutual admiration and respect there. a lot of love there. very well done. i say to the audience at home those pieces are hard to do with no track. we'll continue to hear more incredible stories about trailblazers who helped pave the way. we asked nicole hannah jones and marley dias has been here and

rodney robinson. boy, a lot of good people who inspired them. you can hear their answers by visiting cbsnews.com/blackhistory. an unsung hero of a high school football team gets a special surprise from his teammates. we'll be right back. i can't believe it. that chad really was raised by wolves? which one is your mother? that's her right there. oh, gosh. no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. it's really great. well, i'm just so glad to have met your beautiful family. and we better be sitting down now. believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.
