7:40 am
didn't surprise them. they came to a little under $3,000 but then the hospital's bill arrived. the charge, over $52,000. even with a supposed discount for uninsured patients like roberts, the total still came to about $31,000. >> i thought it was crazy. >> reporter: but she and her husband still paid the hospital what they could, $25 a month for nearly three years. >> as long as i can work and they'll accept payments, we're going to pay because everything we ever had in life, we paid for. >> reporter: then in september of 2019, the hospital sued them for the entire balance, plus interest. the total nearly $37,000. at that point, kc says -- >> i told my husband. i wish you would have let me die. >> reporter: how could you even think that? >> i told my husband this. i said, honey, i love you and i love my family. but if you have let me go, today

8:01 am
>> some aids admit it wasn't his strongest showing considering this was his first debate in almost a decade. >> for an opportunity to make a solid first impression, the consensus among the democrats was bloomberg blew it. >> we are hearing from federal prosecutors here who say they believe this alleged gunman had extremist right wing views. >> fisher island is billed as one of the wealthiest communities in the country with the only ways on or off by boat or ferry. people who live there say they've never heard of anything like this happening before. >> surveillance video showed alex friedman stealing keys from the detention center control room. freedman allegedly planted loaded guns around the building. >> the gloves were off and the attacks often personal at the democratic debates. >> bloomberg having to answer questions about past comments and sanders responding to questions about his health. >> hey, i can show you all my medical records, ten years of tax returns, and my detailed foreign policy plan. everyone was like, yeah. i'm still not interested.
8:02 am
welcome back to "cbs this morning." the top democratic presidential contenders came out swinging in a fiery, contentious debate in las vegas last night. the former new york city mayor, mike bloomberg, was on stage for the first time after surging in recent polls. it took just seconds for his rivals to take him on. >> i'd like to talk about who we're running against. a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse faced lesbians. and no i'm not talking about donald trump. i'm talking about mayor bloomberg. >> we are giving a voice to people who are saying we're sick and tired of billionaires like mr. bloomberg seeing huge expansions of their wealth. while half a million people sleep out on the streets tonight. >> i've been told many times to wait my turn and to step aside. i'm not going to do that now. i'm not going to do that because a campaign memo from mayor bloomberg said this morning that the only way that we get a
8:03 am
nominee is if we step aside for him. >> bloomberg was attacked on a variety of issues. he had a tense exchange with elizabeth warren after bloomberg said he would not release former employees from nondisclosure agreements related to alleged harassment and discrimination. >> so, mr. mayor, are you willing to release all of those women from those nondisclosure agreements so we can hear their side of the story? >> we have a very few nondisclosure agreements. >> how many is that? >> let me finish. >> how many is that? >> none of them accuse me of doing anything other than maybe they didn't like a joke i told. and let me just -- they are agreements between two parties that wanted to keep it quiet. that's up to them. they signed those agreements. we'll live with it. >> senior political analyst
8:04 am
and "60 minutes" correspondent john dickerson is here. good morning to both of you. so i think last night's debate was more of a bar fight than we'd seen prior. michael bloomberg seemed to walk into the bar not expecting quite the fight he got. how do you think it'll affect his campaign? >> they slammed the door at his coming out party and then he had trouble opening it again. one of the challenges when you're a new candidate is taking the incoming and then defusing it and saying this is what i'm for. he never got that opportunity. he never took or seized that opportunity. and if debates matter they mattered in new hampshire when amy klobuchar rose when she had a good performance. if debates matter this was not a good night. >> is it going to matter do you think? >> i think that is a lot to be determined because if you look at the early vote there are over a million people who voted early in california, over two-thirds of the people who are going to vote in nevada already voted. this was a good night for elizabeth warren, probably a good night for bernie sanders. it probably was a bad night for mike bloomberg. how much it affects him in the long run we'll see. >> he had to know those questions were coming.
8:05 am
i think that is what everyone is talking about today. he knew the questions were coming about women and certainly the stop and frisk. what do you think happened? >> it's been such a long time since someone has probably challenged mike bloomberg on stage, it's been ten years since his last debate. he is not used to as a billionaire having people challenge him and come at him and directly challenge his authority. i think it felt like he was running 20 miles an hour and everybody else was running 75. he literally felt like a visitor on the stage last night. he didn't feel ik llike he was of the party. >> elizabeth warren didn't feel like a visitor. did she revitalize her campaign after a couple disappointing finishes? >> she was, basically, checked every box. she was both on the attack, she was generous when she jumped in to defend amy klobuchar. you felt like if a light blew out in the studio she'd climb on a ladder and fix it. she did everything in the debate. the question is, does that help her campaign? we'll have to see. the wonderful thing is the voters get to make their decision. but she was really -- really came to play. if iron sharpens iron it was a
8:06 am
real benefit for her to have michael bloop the michael bloomberg there. they wheeled on stage the kind of person she has been essentially attacking in her campaign. >> one of the questions going into the debate was do voters want a billionaire in the form of michael bloomberg or an antibillionaire in the form of bernie sanders who says billionaires should not exist? let's look at the exchange between the two of them. >> you have a grotesque and immoral distribution of wealth income. mike bloomberg owns more wealth than the bottom 125 million americans. that's wrong. that's immoral. >> mayor bloomberg, should you exist? >> i can't speak for all billionaires. all i know is i have been very lucky, made a lot of money. i worked very hard for it. i'm giving it away. >> what we need to do to deal with this grotesque number of income and wealth inequality is make sure those people who are working, you know what, mr. bloomberg, it wasn't you who made all that money. maybe your workers played some role in that as well.
8:07 am
and it is important that those workers are able to share the benefits also. >> so who got the best of who? >> i think they both got their shots in particularly later in the night bloomberg actually strengthened a bit. i thought he had good pushback on sanders about being the most famous socialist millionaire in the country. had three houses. that was a good pushback. i also think the fact that bloomberg's moments were late in the debate. it matters so much when these things happen. probably you guys know this as people who are on tv. when viewers are watching the most matters and that first hour bloomberg really got eviscerated so i'd be curious to see when most people were watching and when they saw the impactful attacks. >> going to bed. that simple. >> maybe that's why since he had better moments at the end that his campaign comes out today and can say he had a fairly good night. >> you have to win the spin. >> here is the thing. like the question to bloomberg, though, you got to know this is coming at you. they're talking about capitalism and whether it has been broken in this debate for months and months. here comes somebody who could
8:08 am
have said, given an answer that appealed to the various different parts of the democratic coalition. when i was talking about opening the door to your candidacy that was an opportunity for bloomberg to make the case about how his wealth gives him some insight or his time as a boss gives him some insight. he never really took that opportunity. >> there was an interesting moment between pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar. >> you're staking your candidacy on your washington experience. you're on the committee that oversees border security. you're on the committee that does trade. you are literally part of the committee that's overseeing these things. and we're not able to speak to literally the first thing about the politics of the country to our south. >> are you trying to say that i'm dumb or are you mocking me here, pete? i said -- >> i'm saying you trivialized that knowledge. >> i made an error. people sometimes forget names. i am the one that has, number one, has the experience based on passing over 100 bills. >> it's all so personal.
8:09 am
>> this was right after she was defending that she couldn't name the president of mexico. >> that felt personal to me. >> i also might want to consult clark kellogg on that. that felt like the midwestern bracket for the ncaa tournament. it felt like two people fighting for the heartland bracket. and those folks are going after the same voters. buttigieg and klobuchar are trying to go after the same chunk of the democratic electorate. that's why it's gotten so personal. i think buttigieg's candidacy is almost an insult to amy klobuchar in itself. >> she certainly seemed to take it that way. >> it felt that way. >> what did you think? >> they're not going to be on each other's christmas card list. they're fighting as joel said, fighting for that kind of moderate position. we also have not even talked about joe biden, which says something there. and so at the end of this debate everybody might have had their little moment, nothing much was resolved in terms of that portion of the electorate. and they're fighting it out to see who can be at the top of it. that debate there got a little
8:10 am
down in sort of a fact check, sort of a quiz show kind of question about whether she -- and elizabeth warren jumped in and said, this is why this is not important. we should talk about important things. another way in which she asserted herself in something that pleas that was happening on the other side of the debate stage. >> also donald trump. i can't remember one memorable moment from donald trump last flight. >> good night for him. >> you'll have to come back for the sequel because there will be a sequel. cbs news will cohost the next democratic presidential debate in charleston, south carolina. our very own gayle king and norah o'donnell will moderate. the congressional black caucus institute is cohost and twitter is also a partner. you can see that debate tuesday, february 25th, 5:00 p.m. pacific, right here on cbs and cbsn. >> looking forward to that. good thursday morning to you.
8:11 am
a chilly start to the day, grab the jacket or coat as you're heading out the door. you won't need to in the afternoon because it is going to be a warm day. so mild, unseasonably mild above-average temperatures. so 64 in san francisco for a high today. six in oakland. 70 degrees in san jose. 67 for concord. more clouds, a little bit warmer for your friday. we are looking at mild conditions saturday. bit cooler that he. plenty of sun next week.

8:17 am
. in to in today's morning rounds the american heart association says eating maeltfulhealthfully for cardiovascular health but how about trending diets like keto and intermittent fasting? february is american heart month. our doctor is here. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> let's start with the keto which is low carb high fat. >> very high fat. >> what does that, potentially how does that affect your heart? >> a lot of patients of mine ask about the keto diet. it is very popular. it's popular primarily for weight loss and can indecember a pretty rapid weight loss over two to six months. the issue is, is it sustainable? the problem is when you are limiting yourself to less than 50 grams of carbs, which is like one slice of bread or one apple we find over time it is really not for a lot of people.
8:18 am
when you look out one to two years any effects on weight or blood pressure or blood sugar seem to be similar to other lo-calorie or low fat diets. and the other issue is we really don't have a lot of long term research to prove either the safety of the keto diet or any sort of heart benefits. >> we're just looking at the graphics. seems to have some down side. higher cholesterol? >> exactly. because you're eating 90% fat a lot of people choose saturated fat so things like coconut oil, butter, bacon, red meat. that can drive up your ldl which is your bad cholesterol. in addition, you may be depleted of things like magnesium or selinium, which is a mineral. there was a study this past fall that showed individuals who ate the keto diet it was associated with increased risk of irregular heart rhythm. because you are not eating a lot of vegetables, fruits, legumes you are not getting the antioxidents and fiber. >> what do you advise patients? >> i have that risk/benefit discussion with them and tease
8:19 am
out why are you doing this? if it is for a short term kick-start weight loss that might be okay but then a the six-month mark you probably wans to transition to a more healthy pattern of eating. >> something sustainable is always key. >> yes. >> the intermittent fasting diet. i know a lot of people on it who swear by it and really like it. >> vladimir duthiers. my father. >> that's right. your dad. who is also a cardiologist. >> a lot of people do it. >> how does that affect your heart? >> again, the science isn't there. a lot of the studies have been in animals and there haven't been long term studies. we know it does seem to kind of reset the body a little bit when you have that time where you're not eating. the fasting period. that can allow the body to kind of clear out toxins. it can regulate blood pressure and heart rate and blood sugar and cholesterol and be antiinflammatory. there do seem to be the potential for benefits. >> are there known heart risks? >> we don't really know. we haven't studied it long term. you are essentially inducing a state of ketosis similar to the
8:20 am
keto diet because you are allowing your body to break down fat. there are different types. alternate day fasting, sort of a fasting for time restricted feeding where you eat only for six or eight hours during the day and then you don't eat in the others. >> how is your dad also a cardiologist liking it? >> he likes it. i couldn't do it. it is very hard to skip breakfast for me in the morning. a lot of people swear by it. >> in this heart month are there some diets you say are excellent for your heart? >> plant based. all of my cardiology colleagues seem to be promoting as i do -- >> that means no burger. >> impossible burger, beyond burger. >> there are options. >> alternate burgers. >> so plant based. we've learned it is not just the vegetables and fruits that may be healthier but when you eat animal products your gut back tear yback -- bacteria can produce a product which can lead to heart disease. >> okay. >> gayle is no tt happy.
8:21 am
>> the mediterranean diet is another good one. >> and we speak with cardiologist dr. jennifer muris about how heart disease symptoms can differ by gender. we'll be right back. back. >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" presented by astrazeneca. heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers,
8:22 am
a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. economically powerfully influenced my values. bernie sanders he's fighting to raise wages. and guarantee health care for all.

8:31 am
was his by another car before he was trapped in the fiery wreck. he left the hospital after less than two days there. every time we see this video everybody wonders how he survived. we showed you video yesterday how well these cars are made. clearly a close friend of his posted a picture of him walking out with his daughters saying, hey, ryan, you forgot his shoes. assuming his feet were burned. i don't know. maybe he couldn't wear shoes. only a close friend would say, hey ryan, you don't have your shoes. >> so great to see him with his kids. you kind of hope his kids didn't see that video because it's terrifying. >> yes. >> they know dad is okay. maybe they could see it now. it's terrifying watching it. >> very, very scary. someone who has saved us all a lot of typing and retyping over the years, that would be larry tessler. he died on monday. and it's come to everyone's notice that this was the individual who co-created copy
8:32 am
and paste which most of us who work in offices or even if you have a smartphone you have used it thousands upon thousands of times instead of pain stickingly typing it out. here he is demonstrating it in 2017. he invented it in the '80s, i believe. he was chief scientist at apple. prior to that he did the work on copy and paste at xerox. what i love about this story, it shows you that larry tessler is not a name that's not a household name. fame is not the measure of significance. this is a person who contributed to something that changed all of our lives and i'm happy to give him notice. >> i wish he came up with this when i was in college. it would have saved me a lot of trouble with my term papers. >> for young people, copy and paste when people literally cut, copy and pasted it. >> those were olden days. >> days of yore. >> yes. >> your turn, anthony. first on "cbs this morning" we are revealing the new "time"
8:33 am
magazine cover. while the magazine has had many iconic covers, gayle king has been on them, this is a first. this is not a photograph of martin luther king jr. it is a new imalk created using virtual reality. anning actor stood in for dr. king and a visual effects team rendered that shot. it is part of a new project called the march which will give people a chance to experience 1963's march on washington as if they were there. it was made in collaboration with the museum of african-american history in chicago. i'm going to be there next week ahead of the exhibit's opening to talk with viola davis and her husband julius tennen, the co-executive producers of the project. i am so excited to see this. they say this is the most realistic digital rendering of a human ever created. and you are basically going to be there in the middle of that crowd of 250,000 people on the mall in washington at the march. >> and that's great that viola
8:34 am
and julius are involved. >> i can't imagine what this will feel like. they worked a long time on this. >> it's a big issue because people from that generation, memories are fading, people are dying, people are moving on. for holocaust remembrance, civil rights era remembrance, this could be a big breakthrough. >> "time" magazine is so creative and clever in how they do their covers. some of the best on the newsstand. we are exploring how students are learning about america's past. don't you remember yesterday we showed you examples of problematic language in widely used textbooks and how what students are expected to learn actually varies from state to state. jer yuka duncan visited a school in maryland to see how the district revamped its curriculum after reflecting on how they approached topics likes slavery and civil rights. >> loved your piece yesterday. >> got a chance to speak to some of the teachers, visited a
8:35 am
classroom. students at montgomery county schools use primary sources like letters and speeches to learn about u.s. history instead of relying simply on textbooks alone. it's just one way they are taught to think critically about our nation's past. >> we talked about this phrase. make a way out of no way. >> reporter: for middle cool teacher, salvatore assenza history is more than peopmemori dates and famous face. we listened in on a critical conversation about american history including slavery. >> people who look at this part of our history and go it's over, everyone is equal now. do you guys feel that way? >> no. >> yes there was racism before but there's still remaining. it's better than much about but still bad. >> salvatore assenza chairs the social studies chair at the middle school in maryland. part of the most diverse

district st.. montgomery county public schools. >> you're teaching them to question -- >> all the time. all the time. >> there's no national standard for teaching social studies so it's often left up to individual states and districts to decide how to teach it. >> downi you think a lot of pars understand there's a vast difference? >> i suspect they don't. >> ibram x kendi is the author of the book "how to be an anti-racist" and a professor at american university. >> one of the most precious things we have in this society are the minds of our children. parents and nonparents should be ensuring that children, their minds are being shaped in most accurate way possible. >> so, impressive. >> this woman recently revamped
8:37 am
the eighth grade curriculum that teachers are now using. >> it was important to us to make sure we're telling an inclusive narrative of american history and so to get away from sort of the dominant narrative focused on presidents, on generals, the political history. >> some examples the new curriculum include a unit on stolen labor. students look at how and why the constitution protected slavery and have lessons where they rewrite portions of their textbooks. michael williams teaches high fiscal african-american history in the district. >> i haven't seen any textbook that's used in high cools that does not omit some very key, not just information but themes and so part of our job as historians and as teachers is to try and tell a more complete story. >> a settle of eighth graders we spoke to said the new curriculum opened their eyes.
8:38 am
>> raise your hands if this class taught you how to think more critically about the information you consumed. >> it changes how we study history. we look at history through a white, pretty much male american blend. i feel like learning through this lens basically tells the whole story of america, about how slavery is the root and foundation of america and its history. >> we're learning how to be really, really analytical thinkers. discovering for ourselves the truth. >> not much has been on board with the curriculum changes. >> there were teachers it was hard for them. a lot of times history teachers they love the national story, right. the story they were told and taught and studied is not necessarily the story that's part of this curriculum. >> why should parents, why should society care as a whole how children are learning history. >> we teach them everyone's story then they will become adults that believe in everyone's story. if we don't teach the children correctly it's going to be
8:39 am
