>> when you're inside it was one thing, when you walk outside, it is bad. >> reporter: so the storm went through right in the middle of the night. the most dangerous time for to happen, right across downtown nashville. as you can see, judging by the damage, it is not easy to collapse buildings. it had to be an ef-3 or 4. but we don't have confirmation yet. winds likely over 150 miles per hour, could have been on the ground for nearly 50 miles. as you can see, we still have a tornado watch in effect through alabama until 11:00 a.m. watch for more severe weather this morning. >> frightening. thank you so much. as more coronavirus cases are discovered in the u.s., the death toll is rising, as well. six people have died so far, all of them in washington state. and there are now at least 102 cases across 15 different states including new ones in new hampshire and georgia. one infected man passed through atlanta's airport on his way back from italy. health officials are especially concerned today about a cluster of infections at a nursing home in kirkland, that's a suburb of seattle, and it's where we find

jonathan vigliotti. good morning. what are you hearing about conditions there in the nursing home? >> reporter: good morning to you. first, i want to point out, you aed a shole ago taking one patient to the hospital for testing. we've been speaking with family toms. state health officials say they simply do not have all of the options available to them right now as their resources are stretched. the coronavirus outbreak at a washington state nursing home is pushing officials to intensify their response to contain the disease. >> we expect the number of cases will continue to increase in the coming days and weeks. >> reporter: here in king county, officials are planning to buy a motel and set up modular units to house coronavirus patients requiring isolation. they are most concerned about the elderly like those at the life care center nursing home. >> i'm anxious. very anxious. >> reporter: carmen gray's

mother susan haley is under quarantine at the facility. you asked for your mother to be tested for coronavirus. what did they tell you? >> that she does not meet the criteria at this time. they're being held hostage in a petri dish. >> reporter: in san antonio, a public health emergency after a woman who tested positive for the coronavirus was initially cleared and visited this mall before all of her results came back. >> as mayor of the city, i find it totally unacceptable that cdc was release a patient prior to receiving all test results and potentially exposed the public to this harm. >> reporter: the city also filed a temporary restraining order against the government to keep more than 120 passengers from the "diamond princess" cruise ship quarantined longer than the two weeks required. more than 700 people on board were infected. monday president trump met with executives of ten pharmaceutical companies to discuss developing a vaccine which officials say is at least a year away. >> we're also moving with

they called us and said, hey, come inside, we'll show you. >> gowns, gloves, masks, and definitely, definitely monitoring. >> reporter: hebrew home at riverdale has 180 nurses on staff plus six doctors with an on-site emergency response facility. >> it is really incumbent upon us to really be vigilant. >> reporter: ceo dan reingold says their prevention plan includes informing visitors. >> if they feel any symptoms they should not come to visit. >> reporter: do you have a way to test for coronavirus? >> no. right now the only way to test for the coronavirus it used to be through cdc. now the new york state department of health has adopted a testing mechanism. >> reporter: new york's governor, andrew cuomo, confirmed that the federal government is allowing his state to conduct testing for the virus. >> i would like to have a goal of 1,000 tests per day. >> reporter: crews are heavily cleaning new york city's subways, scrubbing all of the stations, train cars, and buses every 72 hours.

schools across the united states are on high alert. >> they're doing research on this. so our children are safe. >> reporter: this school at little falls, new jersey, is disinfecting four times a day. tracy marinelli is the superintendent. >> we have all the preventive measures in place, the hand washing, the cleaning. >> throws a bullet -- >> reporter: even the nba is taking precautions -- nba is suggesting precautions suggesting fist bumps over high fives and maybe take a break from signing autographs. celtics point guard kemba walker says -- >> maybe i should be walking around or something. >> reporter: fair. when i met the ceo of the hebrew home i went to shake his hand and he gave me an elbow instead. that's fair, might be something to consider. >> i'm thinking that, too. elbows are safe. thank you so much. dr. tara narula is here with i ow intelually nse.

ouldn'panic. when i saw tara in the green room -- do you have your stethoscope? am i feeling chills? your mind goes to places, i haven't been to china or been near anybody. we hear the elderly, who is susceptible? who else is susceptible. >> we're all susceptible because this is a new virus. the question is in who does this become serious. exactly what you said, the elderly -- >> are more susceptible. >> are more susceptible to this virus becoming a serious pneumonia and having further complications. in china the data that we're analyzing, they found that 15% of those over 80 died. we're really talking about those over 60, 70, 80 at risk -- >> kids are okay? >> what's interesting is that children for some reason seem to be less susceptible to this virus. whether it's because they're not getting the infection or because they're not mounting as severe a reaction to it. in addition, those with chronic

medical conditions. so those who have chronic lung disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity. this is the population of people that needs to be a little bit more concerned. >> given what we've -- what we're seeing in the u.s., how likely is a spike in serious cases here? >> we are definitely going to see more cases. so people shouldn't get alarmed every day when we come on the air and say we have another case, we have another case. we have not been testing in this country as they have in others parts of the world. for months they've been doing thousands and thousands of tests internationally. we've done about 500. we just -- >> for the whole country. >> right. we just sent out 4,000 test kits last week. 75,000 this week. a million by this weekend. so there's no doubt we are seeing the tip of the iceberg. we are absolutely going to see more cases. there has probably been a low level of community spread in our country for several weeks. and we will see more severe cases in those that are compromised. >> what's the number one thing people can do to protect themselves? >> the basics we've talked about.

the hand washing, sanitizing, coughing, sneezing into your elbow, don't touch your face, aoiding those things like avoiding those things like hand shakes that we talked about. and then, you know, keeping surfaces clean. disinfecting at home. don't share plates and towels - should get the test? >> somebody called me and said, i came from a trip and have a low-grade fever. pick up the phone and call your doctor. call your -- or call your local health officials. basically they will triage you based on what you're telling them. they have guidance from the cdc which is telling health care professionals who should be screened or who should be suspected. and then they will do a swab of your nose and throat or a sputum sample and send it off. >> thank you so much. moving to the big day in politics. the democratic presidential race takes a huge leap forward today because it is super tuesday. former vice president joe biden starts the day with a big boost

overnight. three former rivals, pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar, and beto o'rourke endorsed him last night. biden is trying to make this a two-person race against senator bernie sanders. and voters will decide if 14 states include -- in 14 states including texas, california, and one u.s. territory. more than 1,300 delegates will be awarded today, more than one-third of the overall total. ed o'keefe is at a voting place in arlington, virginia, another state on the map today. good morning. why are these endorsements so significant? >> reporter: good morning. we're at a high school where there's been a steady stream of voters. endorsements are a signal that at least some moderate democrats are beginning to coalesce around biden who's hoping they give him a big boost as he tries to surpass vermont senator bernie sanders. >> we are better than this president, and so get up! let's take back this country! >> reporter: former vice president joe biden is riding a fresh wave of support. >> i'm delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president. [ cheers ] >> reporter: three of his former rivals, pete buttigieg, amy

klobuchar, and beto o'rourke made last-minute endorsements before today's critical votes. >> if you are tired of the extremes, you have a home with me. and i think you know you have a home with joe biden. [ cheers ] >> reporter: they all argue that biden has the best shot at defeating president trump. >> we have someone who in fact is the antithesis of donald trump. >> reporter: at a dueling rally, senator bernie sanders spoke in minnesota. senator klobuchar's home state. he extended an olive branch. >> all of amy and pete's millions of supporters, the door is open. come on in! [ cheers ] >> reporter: but also acknowledged the moves to stop him. >> it's not just the corporate establishment that's getting nervous, the political establishment is getting nervous. [ cheers ] >> reporter: this is not a two-man race. sanders and biden still face three other opponents this super

tuesday -- massachusetts senator elizabeth warren has failed so far to win a state but is vowing to stay in the rates. -- in the race. >> we're looking forward to get as many delegates we can tomorrow, especially from the great state of california. >> and we'll find out if michael bloomberg's unorthodox approach of visiting the super tuesday states and spending more than $500 million will pay off. >> i'm in it to win it. and we are going to go out, and we're going to go get 'em. >> reporter: well, an estimated 15 million people are expected to vote in super tuesday states. it may give a boost to biden, cause some to change their minds, remember many have already voted. remember the 3.5 million who cast early ballots in california. they got no chance to change their mind now. >> i know. thank you so much, ed. bernie sanders wants to come out of super tuesday with an insurmountable lead in delegates. he's expected to get some of them in his home state of vermont.

nancy cordes is in burlington, the state's largest city. good morning to you. what is the sanders plan for today. >> reporter: he's going to be casting his own ballot here at this community center in burlington. his team hoping that a strong night starts here in vermont but stretches to larger states like texas and california. those two states alone have nearly half the delegates that are going to be up for grabs today. and polls show sanders leading in both of them. one big test for sanders today -- how does he do about african-americans, especially in the seven southern states that are going to be voting today. teeke in biden's 61%. sanders has done much better with latino voters. we saw that in nevada. they make up a quarter of the primary electorate in california. he's also got a stronger ground game, bigger crowds than biden. 15,000 people, 25,000 people at

rallies in california over the weekend. a big night tonight for sanders. not an average night but a big night. his campaign believes it would put the delegate count out of reach for someone like joe biden even if more candidates get out of this race. gayle? >> we'll all be watching. thank you. in our next hour, senator amy klobuchar will join us here in studio 57 to discuss her decision to end her campaign and endorse joe biden. and cbs news of course will bring you all of the super tuesday election results in a prime time special report tonight. norah o'donnell leads our coverage starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern, 7:00 central on cbs. the coverage on cbsn begins at good tuesday morning. get ready for a warm day across the bay area. well above average for this time of the year with plenty of

you're watching "cbs this morning." u're watching "cbs this morning." i'm alphonso, and there's more to me than hiv. there's my career,... my cause,... my choir. i'm a work in progress. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine. dovato has 2... medicines in... 1 pill to help you reach and then stay undetectable. so your hiv can be controlled with fewer medicines... while taking dovato. you can take dovato anytime of day,... with food... or without. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its... ingredients or if you take dofetilide. if you have hepatitis b, it can change during treatment with dovato your hitis b may get worse or become life-threatening... if you stop taking dovato. so do not stop dovato... without talking to your doctor. serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions,... liver problems, and liver failure. life-threatening side effects include lactic acid buildup

and severe liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems,... may har. including hepatitis b or cenn da yocrib a differt medicinere test... before starting... dovato. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, nausea, trouble sleeping, and tiredness. so much goes into who i am... and hope to be. ask your doctor if starting hiv treatment with dovato is right for you. >> tech: don't wait for a chip like this to crack your whole windshield. ask your doctor if starting with safelite's exclusive resin, you get a strong repair that you can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace. seaonly abreva cany to help sget rid of it in... ...as little as 2 1/2 days when used at the first sign. abreva starts to work immediately to blo totecaly cells.

abreva acts on it. so you can too. you wouldn't accept from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase. may contain disodium distyrylbiphenyl disulfonate.

yeah... i don't know either. switch to seventh generation. clean clothes, no unnecessary chemicals. but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. yeah... i don't know either. switch to seventh generation. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. as have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. fungal infections are common, or if you've had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some. but for you, one pill a day

may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™". we choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message.

serious cases? >> we are definitely going to see more cases. we vice president been testing in this country like they have in other parts of the world. >> those endorsements are a signal some moderates democrats are going to coalesce behind biden and he hopes they will give him a big boost. >> a big night for sanders. his campaign believes would put the delegate count out of reach for joe biden. >> on stage there with rapper juvenile, what was moving you? what were you thinking? >> it's really funny to me because we are talking about people who are working for inequality wages and can't live on it. people who are dying because health care is so bad. >> climate change is an existential crisis. american families are going bankrupt. if we act now, our grandchildren -- >> this morning's eye-opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> tom steyer giving steven

colbert a little material. welcome back to "cbs this morning." much of the nashville area is a wreck this morning after at least two tornadoes ripped through tennessee. one of the super tuesday states. a short time ago, the official death toll jumped to 19 people. you can see one of the tornadoes barreling through the night sky on home video. this incredible drone video shows roofs caved in and debris strewn across parking lots and streets. emergency crews are at the scene of about 40 collapsed buildings. chris conti of our national affiliate wtvf shows us some of the devastation. >> this is the autozone that used to sit here on rosa parks. it is now completely demolishedish the wall collapsed in. if you can see that car in the distance there, that is an suv that actually belongs to one of our producers. his name is wit. to give you an idea of how incredibly fortunate so many

are, including wit, the sign of autozone was ripped off of the top of the building and landed right in front of his car. if you take a look through the fence line here, you can basically see the exact path that this stormok.g off of the edge of this house here, pulled it down onto the ground, and it left it here on the ground. >> that was a report from nashville. this morning in response to the coronavirus impact on business, the federal reserve cut its prime interest rate by half a percent. at least 102 people are now infected across 15 states, and that number is likely to rise. the death toll has tripled since yesterday to six, all in washington state. one woman in san antonio was allowed to walk around a mall before testing positive for the virus. a man on his way home from italy traveled through the atlanta airport, the busiest in the world, before he was found to be sick. that's just one example of how

the coronavirus is disrupting travel around the world and here at home. 25 airlines, including major u.s. carriers canceled all flights to mainland china. they have also suspended flights to and from dozens of other cities including london, milan and dubai. >> dta and american airlines are waving fees for people who wish to change certain fights, travel experts and points guy joins us at the table with what you need to know. brian, morning. >> good morning. >> so if you're concerned hearing the news about the spread of coronavirus and you have big plans coming up, as a lot of people do with spring back and passover and easter, what do you do? what's your next step? >> it's still safe to travel. there's only four countries in the world saying only essential travel. i would say, i would go on with plans. of course, educate yourself. the situation changes daily. but by and large it is still safe to travel. >> so the airlines are waiving fees, not the same as refunds.

saying we can change it for you but you have to send us the money. >> delta international flights they will waive change fees. jetblue is trying to build back confidence allowing more flexible changes. >> do you have practical advice about what we can do when we're on the plane. middle seat not great. >> the biggest thing about this virus is exposure, being around in close contact with other people. generally try to get a window seat. if you've got points upgrade to premium, economy or business class. you think about having your own pod, wipe it down, washhand real if you want to be proactive, bring your own food and drink on the plane. >> bring your own food and drink. >> less interaction. there have been flight attendants coming down with the virus. >> they are exposed. >> if you really want to be overprotective. limit reactions with others, try to get a seat further away. all these things can help. >> what do you think the impact is on the airline industry, canceling this. >> we saw today 90% of people still have not canceled their

plans. of course, as it develops and people get more and more scared, that could change. i think there's a lot more panic going around than is actual reality. i've flown twice this week. maybe 1% of the people are wearing masks. >> in the country. >> yes. >> should people use points to get there. >> a great time. 64% of business class seats, we've seen a lot more availability using frequent flyer miles because companies like facebook and twitter are telling their employees to stay home meaning first class seats are actually available and for using points. so it could be a good time. >> you think this is likely to affect ticket prices? >> hotn hng ise dighe four seasons for $150. look, if you are open to traveling, this could be the best time to get a great deal. >> in the greenroom, connecting

flights. >> one of the things, you do not want to connect through china. going to bali, asia, connecting on chinese airlines can be very cheap. even if you connect in an airport in china, you're going to get additional scrutiny and screening, probably won't be able to go back to work. factor that into the price. cheap can be very expensive. >> we don't know how long the outbreak will last. people may buy travel insurance to guard against that risk. >> no travel insurance -- most travel insurance won't cover pnpnd pandemic, what you want is travel for any reason. you're not going to get a full refund. they refund up to 75%. you're still taking a hit. try to book refundable hotels and airfare. if you do want to cancel a flight and it's nonrefundable, don't just cancel it because you lose value, wait and see. airlines changing day by day. be nice, say can you change this. even if they don't have an official policy, you can get a

nice agent. be nice. >> be nice, always works. >> beilerian kelly, thank you v much. today is super tuesday, biggest day so far in the democratic presidential race. voters heading to the polls to award 1300 delegates. the biggest prizes are texas and california which award nearly half of today's delegates. former vice president joe biden picked up key endorsements before today's vote from former candidates pete buttigieg, beto o'rourke and amy klobuchar, who dropped out just a few hours earlier. in california an emerson college poll from the last weekend shows senator bernie sanders leading biden by 17 points. inside a polling station south of los angeles, jamie, what's it look like there? >> good morning. this polling station is one of six in l.a. county offering round-the-clock voting. voters around the state are also able to register here today. black and hispanic voters will be key for joe biden if he hopes

to win the state, which awards 415 pledge delegates. the newest emerson college poll shows sanders lead in california narrows when it comes to likely black primary voters in california with 26% saying they will support him and 24% for biden. black democratic voters have been a key demographic for biden helping propel his win in south carolina, which reenergized his campaign. today will also be a good indicator of the effectiveness of michael bloomberg's strategy of skipping the first contest to focus on super tuesday. it's the first time he's been on any ballot since he spent more than $60 million on advertising here. biden will be in california today as the results come in a little bit later. he has an afternoon in northern california and will join his wife dr. jill biden in l.a. this evening. >> jamie yuccas, thanks. amy klobuchar in our

greenroom. why she's backing joe biden good tuesday morning to you. get ready for a very warm day across the bay area with daytime highs above average and plenty of sunshine. it is upper 60s letter today with 72 in oakland and 82 degrees in santa rosa. it is a sunny and warm day for tomorrow. we are going to cool it down for the rest of the work week with onshore flow kicking in and shower chances possible on saturday.

mp and endorsing joe biden for president. >> minnesota senator amy klobuchar survived longer as a presidential candidate than most of her democratic rivals. yesterday she joined two of them, former mayor pete buttigieg and former congressman beto o'rourke in backing former vice president biden. their endorsement came just hours before today's super tuesday vote. senator klobuchar, thanks for being here. you came all the way from dallas. >> i wanted to be here. >> you're still smiling. >> we were proud of our campaign. we stuck together from the beginning, from the moment i announced in the blizzard. as i said last night, while i'm ending my campaign, i can't think of a better way to end it than joining vice president biden. >> why did you before prosecusuper tuesday. >> i stepped back before, minne.

we had several polls. i knew that. i thought, what is our path and what's really important to me. what's really important to me is beating donald trump. while i would have loved to be that candidate, i think joe biden is going to be a great president. i think he's going to bring decency back and dignity to the white house, which for me is the number one priority for this country. >> what goes into your decision-making process, senator? in the morning you were in by super tuesday, by afternoon you dropped out. i would imagine this is painful for you. you've worked hard. your team worked hard. how do you begin to make this decision and how do you process it now? >> for me it was through the weekend. i was at the church in selma. i was sitting there with a moment to think. on the campaign trail you're going from speech to speech, and you don't have that moment to reflect. i had that weekend to reflect. i thought, this is the best thing. my husband actually kind of wanted to keep going. i said, i think we can do good this way and what's best for the country. i don't think the rule of law can handle four more years of a

president who thinks he's above it. i don't think democracy can handle four more years of a president who bulldozes through it and joe biden is the one for that. >> establishment is getting nervous, corporate america getting nervous, people like yourself are getting nervous. i know you're going to say you're not the establishment but you're a longtime senator. are you nervous about a sanders campaign? >> i think first of all what was cool about last night, you have mayor pete, and you have beto o'rourke, who electrofied texas in his senate race and myself. i just don't think we're the face of the establishment. i think we're fresh faces in our party. >> are you nervous -- >> second, i'm friends with bernie, we came in together. i said many times on the debate stage, i don't think we should have a socioirs healist heading ticket. we have to have someone, as one

prominent democrat said, who is listening to where people are. that prominent democrat is barack obama. we should pay attention to where we are. i don't think they want to kick 49 million off their occurrence insurance. >> it seems to be real, building. >> he has probably the most enthusiastic supporters, the biggest rallies. >> right. he has a lot of people he's brought with him. my hope, because i saw what happened in 2018 where the most progressive people in our party joined together with moderates and independents and moderate republicans, we all joined together to support candidates for the house. that's how we turned the house of representatives into the people's house. that's how they passed gun safety legislation, climate change. that's how they finally did something when it comes to gun safety. all those bills are sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk. i see this as part of the march that started the day after the inauguration and i see joe biden as the candidate who can lead

that march. >> did joe biden promise you anything? >> no, not at all. >> a place in the administration. >> no. >> any discussion on it? >> no, nothing. i called and said i wanted to support him. >> did you call and say you wanted can be his vp. >> i ended my campaign. i'm more than happy to go back to minnesota and thank my staff. that's my plan. i have a day job. i love the senate. >> that doesn't answer the question do you want to be joe biden's vice president. >> i never look at ot gng on here. >> did you consider endorsing michael bloomberg? did you consider endorsing bernie sanders. >> these are all friends. i was honored to be on the debate stage with them. i'm not someone that looks for the bad in people. i try to look for the good. my goal is to bring everyone together by the end of this. >> what role do you think michael bloomberg plays now? what do you think is at stake for him tonight? he's based everything so far on super tuesday. >> he's going to have to decide, because he has put a lot of

money into these states. i know a feeling of being a candidate when you go on the show like this and there's more michael bloomberg ads than there is your time on the stage. so i think he's going to have to decide. he'll see what the results are. he's a good businessman. >> tom steyer had an exit dance. do you? >> more dancing. >> yes. i'm not going to do an exit dance. >> all right. senator klobuchar, thank you. we'll have cbs special report on super tuesday starting 8:00 p.m. eastern, 7:00, analysis on cbs at 5:00 eastern. former barack obama adviser valerie jarrett in the greenroom with jamal simmons. ahead, who they think is in the best position to win big today. they have been looking at the tea leaves, too. we'll be right back. win. you're watching "cbs this morning" we'll be right back.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time for the stories that are "talk of the table." that's where we each pick a story that share with you at home and with each other. and anthony's going first. >> remember that controversy around the grammys, the big blowup around the grammys? the recording academy which controls the grammy awards has fired lve in january, ten days ahead of the grammys ceremony, for alleged misconduct. yesterday, she was formally fired. dugan had accused the academy in a complaint to the equal employment opportunity commission of rigging the voting system for the grammys. harassed. the academy says it found consistent management deficiencies and failures in two independent investigations into dugan and her allegations. dugan issued a statement saying, quote, i will continue to work to hold accountable those who continue to self-deal, taint the

grammy voting process, and discriminate against women and people of color." >> remember when she was here at the table. it was under investigation -- >> that's right. the academy says it conducted two independent investigations into dugan. she says no one interviewed her. sources say dugan will soon file additional charges versus the recording academy with the eeoc. >> i was going to say, something tells me based on when she was right there, she is not going to go quietly. >> she's not going to -- this is going to keep going. >> a mess for both parties. tony? >> i think gayle's going -- i'm going, you're right. astros pitchers, the astros as you may recall have been accused of cheating to win a world series in 2017 tipping off players as to what pitch was coming. it was an elaborate scheme. now former pitch ken giles says he's willing to return that 2017 world series ring. giles, who now plays for the

blue jays, said he did not know about the sign-stealing scheme. he told "the pronto star," if they want it back, i'll be true to whatever needs to be done. he says he feels awful that his former teammates are facing retaliation. retaliation refers to the fact that in spring training they've had five games and been hit by seven pitches. there's some indication that they're getting plunked a little bit more frequently as a payback. i have a sneaking suspicion i'm saying his name wrong. i hope not. >> there's a lot of heat in baseball right now against the astros because of -- >> yeah. >> it's interesting that he wants to return the ring. >> yeah. a very interesting -- i haven't heard anybody else say that yet. >> yeah. >> like ever. >> in fact i'm saying his name correctly. we can move on. >> yes, you are. my turn. "shark tank" judge barbara corcoran is thrilled to be getting money back from chinese scammers. we told you what happened, she was swindled out of nearly $400,000 after her bookkeeper was tricked into wiring the money in a phishing scheme. she thought the money was gone.

but corcoran said her bank asked a german bank to freeze the transaction, so her office could prove it was a fraud, they did that. corcoran reportedly said it seems unbelievable. they got her -- as you point out almost happened to you, they give an email address that's one letter off from somebody that you know. you think it's legit. she was out close to $400,000. luckily the two banks communicated, worked it out. she's going to get most of it back. that rarely happens. >> it sure does. i'm amazed. >> that is unbelievable. i -- geez. that's a big change. >> thank you, barbara corcoran, making setting the stage for others who may have gone through there type of thing. to say wait a second -- >> that's a big help. all morning we've been talking about super tuesday. people in 14 states and a u.s. territory will vote. it could be a defining day in the democratic presidential race. the remaining candidates, bernie sanders, joe biden, elizabeth warren, mike bloomberg, and tulsi gabbard are going after more than 1,300 convention delegates. that as we've been saying all

morning is more than one-third of all the regular delegates who will help decide the party's nominee in july in milwaukee. the voters are already lining up at polling stations this morning. this is charlottesville, virginia. joining us to chew it over, valerie jarrett, former senior adviser to president obama and cbs news political contributor jamal simmons, they're going to talk about what's at stake. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> while you're chewing -- >> wow. >> we are chewing away. >> chew it over. >> valerie, what's your reaction to the triple endorsement that joe biden picked up overnight? >> huge shot in the arm. he had a great victory in south carolina. i think to have his opponents so quickly line up behind him is a great, great sense of momentum that he has going into super tuesday. i'll tell you what i think. i think that whoever emerges tonight, continparticularly if bernie sanders, vice president biden or mayor bloomberg, i would break with conventional wisdom and announce a running mate a woman of color -- not

tonight -- someone who reflects the diversity of our party, and yeah, that's not usual. that's not what they normally do. these are not normal times. i think it would send an important signal going into the next round of primaries to do so with a running mate. >> you see a team of rivals perhaps? the obama administration -- >> i think it's -- one of the strengths of our party. i think what we know is you can't just win on a narrow base. so i would look at ways of building a broader tent with an eye toward the general election. the reason why barack obama won not once but twice, he had progressives, moderates, independents, and some republicans. that's what we're going to need in the general election. >> it's interesting because tom friedman had a great article in "the new york times" where he said that very thing -- pick a team of rivals, and you could go to victory. i thought it -- it's a good read. jamal, let's talk about mayor bloomberg tonight. >> sure. >> he's put really all his eggs in the basket for this thing tonight. what needs to happen for him? if he doesn't do well, what happens? >> he's got to win delegates. he put in over $400 million.

he can't come out with goose eggs. he's got to find a way to win delegates, to prove that money was well spent. >> is there -- >> he paid a lot of delegates -- >> people are talking about him now. >> does he have to win states? >> i'm not convinced he has to win a state. second place works. again, there is a delegate fight. he's got to have enough delegates that think he's a credible candidate for the white house. if he's not really winning enough delegates, what's he doing? >> is he still in it in your mind? it seems everyone's talking about bernie and biden. is bloomberg still in it? >> no, the rationale for the bloomberg campaign was that joe biden would be falling apart by this point and it wouldn't be working. that's not happening. joe biden's getting stronger, growing. the question becomes whether or not we ought to have a mike bloomberg still there in this campaign, and a lot of democrats are struggling here. joe biden has had a line he's been using about democrats want a real democrat, a proud democrat that's running for president to represent the party. there are people who do want that. on the other hand, you've got bernie sanders who's running the campaign that seems to be fighting not just the republicans but also the

traditional democratic party, elected officials, you know, a lot of the bernie bros on line are going after african-americans in south carolina. ava duvernay even. bernie sanders has to decide is he more interested in beating donald trump or more interested in beating traditional democratic party -- >> he's leading in texas and california. california substantially. two biggest states, almost half the delegates. what do you think is going to happen? >> i would expect to say about win california. again, pay attention to the margins. is he growing his population, is he bringing in new voters that he's been talking about and growing that number? also, is he -- or is he winning over some of the traditional democrats where he's invited last night, he -- good line, he invited an amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg's campaign supporters to come and join him. if that's happening, then you'll see bernie sanders grow his coalition, and that's the paths to victory, not fighting traditional -- >> valerie, we have to pay attention to bernie sanders' supporters, do we not? >> absolutely. >> he is speaking loudly. >> not only are they loud, but they vote.

they turn out. they have a lot of the energy. yes. but that's kind of my point. we need a big ten. we can't leave anybody behind if we actually want to win in november. that's the eye on the prize. i think that's where mayor bloomberg, that's why he got in the race. he was worried about president trump. he was worried was there somebody viable in the field. i think all of them are going to eventually pull ranks and focus on how to build a big tent so we can win in november. >> elizabeth warren, do you think there's a path still for her? >> i wouldn't writes her out -- last time i was here everybody was discounting vice president biden. she is a force of nature. she's a good campaigner. she's a strong, strong candidate. it's important that she have a good night tonight. >> all right. thank you both. >> thank you. >> come back and chew any time. this story has many legs. valerie jarrett and jamal simmons, always welcome. ahead and first on "cbs this morning," a new survey finds the majority of moms feel they cannot take a career break after having children. linkedin's caroline fairchild is in the green room with the one thing companies can do for free to make working parents feel

with over 75 years of savings and service, geico is the easy choice. we could even help you with homeowners... oh! not again! oh, thanks! you know automated lights are just the beginning. pretty soon they're gonna have eyes...

everywhere. well goodnight. geico. over 75 years of savings and service.

you're pregnant. have been for a while. from my count you're right around eight months. and i don't know why you felt you couldn't tell us. >> i'm really sorry. >> there is hollywood. we don't like liars. >> oh, boy.

that's katherine heigl in the movie "knocked up." ler character felt -- her character felt the need to apologize for not revealing her pregnancy. we're revealing the results of a survey on the biggest challenges that moms face in the work force. it's part of our "work in progress" series with the online networking site linkedin. shout out to jeff weiner. according to the survey, 49% of working mothers took a career break after having kids. of those who returned, 44% said the hardest part was juggling parental duties like caring for a sick child during the workday. caroline fairchild is the managing news editor at linkedin and joins us. this survey is so interesting. >> it is. >> let's start with mothers' reluctance to talk about their children at work. that surprised me. we don't do that, why? >> there are two things going on. the first is this stigma that we all feel around the fact that we can't talk about that we have kids at home. both men and women, particularly women, told us through the survey that they're feeling like if they tell their boss that they need to leave at 5:00 to relieve the nanny or maybe leave

in the middle of the day to take a kid to a doctor's appointment, they're going to be penalized -- >> they'll be judged. >> exactly. >> it's not the same for men. when men talk about their kids at work, people go, aw, what a dad -- >> super dad. >> what a super dad. >> that's true. what's surprising through the survey is that men just talking about the fact that they have kids at work is a top driver in terms of working mothers feeling like that more supported. it was a top three solution in the survey. >> that's good. >> yes, they are rewarded. but the more they say the same things, too, around, hey, i need to go home to do there for my kid it gives space for the working mothers to say the same. >> more than half of working moms said they could not take a career break. >> that's true. we talk about career breaks as if it's a choice for working mothers. the rhetoric around them, particularly on capitol hill is around choice. >> yeah. >> working mothers are telling us it's not a . are the main driver. if they have enough money to do this. but also working mothers who are in high positions of leadership, they can't take a break because they're afraid they're going to lose their place in line. we saw so many members on linkedin saying they would have

loved to spend more time with their kids when they were young but didn't have the opportunity. >> what's a break really? what we call a break in this country is called leave in other countries. >> exactly. we have smartphones in our pockets which is driving a lot of professionals to stay connected while they're on this break. 79% of working mothers said they did this break to spend time with their kids, but over half are doing things while they're on this break to keep their toes in the professional waters -- >> last i checked, many can't have babies. it does create a different -- >> we can't? >> no, you can't. >> not yet. we're working on it. >> if you can, i want that story. it creates a different kind of circumstances, does it not? >> a completely different type of circumstances. until we get men, women, everyone at work, not just talking about kids but life outside of work, one member wrote on linkedin, we're not robots. we don't power down when we leave the office every day. our ability to talk more openly about everything that we have going on outside the office will be a boon for working mothers and for, really, everyone. >> when women do take a break and want to reenter the work force, do they put on their resume exactly what they were doin do they pretend the time didn't happen?

>> this is a perception gap. hiring managers are telling us they have no problem hiring a woman who's gone out on a career break. working mothers are telling us they're having a hard time finding work that works for them. so if you put yourself in the situation of a woman who just came back from a break, how is she going to tell the hiring manager that she needs to leave at 5:00 every day? we really recommend, seeing a lot of hiring managers trying to have conversations transparently with the job candidate. >> what is secret parenting? >> the trend we're seeing on linkedin. a lot of parents are talking about #secretparenting. the idea that you can't talk about the fact that you have kids for the fear it's going to impact your career. they're talking about a trend called parenting out loud. >> yes. >> not just sneaking out at the end of the day because you have to do something for your kid. it's saying, hey, everybody, tommy's got a soccer game, i'm going. >> i'm going. >> i'll be back on line later. again, we have these phones in our pocket that keep us connected. a lot of desk jobs you don't have to be at a desk at anymore. >> what was it that you saw that made you want to take this topic on i t it's s interesting thatd it. wome ting cr baks

in with.in longer than a traditional maternity leave -- >> what does that mean, a break? >> longer than a traditional maternity leave. the average is about two years. >> maternity leave is two years? >> longer -- longer than traditional ma paternity leave. the average career brach is two years. >> i -- career break is two years. >> i got it. >> i've been covering women in the workplace for my entire career. this isn't a niche problem, not like a small percentage are taking brakes, it's half of working moms. what we found is it's about transparency. feeling like you can talk about these issues at work. >> i know you just got married. you were telling us. now you're getting lots of information. >> exactly. yeah. we got -- that next chapter to come. >> caroline fairchild. thank you s >> thank you. >> an hear more of "cbs this morning" including extended interviews and original content on our podcast. and before we go, a simple workday.g we'll be right back. we choose to go to the moon in this decade

and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message.

before we go, here's one thing you can do today to live a happier, healthier and more productive life. it's part of our partnership with gretchen rubin and her award-winning podcast "happier." studies show people feel long meetings can be distracting and prevent them from doing their jobs. they didn't call me, but yes, they're right. here are some easy tips to make meetings more productive. start and end on time. this helps people plan ahead. have an agenda, and stick to it.

this allows people to make faster decisions and it's healthier. research shows that by cutting out justour of meeting time each week, you can gain an extra week for work and fun by the end of the year. >> don't we all hate long -- my stomach starts to goknot. you go, god, don't anybody ask a question. stop talking. let's go. i'm not talking about meetings here at cbs. >> see you at the 10:30 meeting. >> it will end at 11:00 i guess. >> perfect. >> i wasn't talking about us. >> some people are good at ending meetings on time. others less so. >> i think it's good. we had somebody at the table last year, and i thought they said the perfect length for a meeting was eight minutes. and shorter -- the shorter the number of people in the meeting also good. >> yeah. eight minutes sounds good. do you have a minute, a one-minute meeting can be a problem because they stack up. >> i like brief, on t this is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary career in public service. he revitalized american manufacturing as the head of our middle-class task force.

he led our efforts to combat gun violence. he fought to make college more affordable, championed landmark legislation to protect our women from violence. joe's candid, honest, counsel made me a better president and a better commander in chief. and, all of this makes him the finest vice president we have ever seen. the best part is, he's nowhere close to finished. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. thand there are doers. we need a president who gets big things done. that's mike bloomberg. who built a global company from

scratch, creating 20,000 jobs. as mayor, he created a half million more, and expanded health care for 700,000. now a new direction for washington, creating 100,000 new black-owned businesses and 1 million new black homeowners. real change this november. mike will get it done. i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.
