7:03 am
and beyond of candidates. >> we can report michael bloomberg has won the territory of american samoa. we gets delegates and full control of the girl scout cookies. it's not thin mints but it's something. it was a very exciting night. >> it was. >> i stayed up and watched it. it was interesting to see how it all played out. welcome to "cbs this morning." that's where we begin. as you wake up the democratic presidential race is a close twom two-man contest after super tuesday. joe biden won nine of the 14 primaries, completing a remarkable turn around from a week ago. his biggest upset came in texas where he overcame the front runner bernie sanders. mike bloomberg and elizabeth warren finished far behind. biden also came from behind to win minnesota and massachusetts. sanders did win three primaries and he's in a strong
7:04 am
position in the biggest state of all, california. but this morning he is trailing biden in the delegate race, though many of the delegates from yesterday's races have not been allocated yet. ed o'keefe is covering campaign 2020. >> joe biden wakes up today in a far stronger position than anyone would have thought a few days ago but senator sanders is not out of this. the state with the biggest delegate haul of the night california is leaning towards him, 34% for bernie sanders and 24% for joe biden. with fooi bidens' wins across the rest of the country, california might not be the safety net that senator sanders was looking for. >> we are very much alive. >> super tuesday jolted former vice president joe biden's campaign back to life as he swept victories from new england
7:05 am
to the south and the midwest. >> those who've been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. >> biden even won in texas despite being outspent by senator bernie sanders by millions. given the spread of support, sanders will stick pick up many of the lone star state's delegates. >> you cannot beat trump with the same old same old kind of politics. >> nearly half of the voters who made up their minds in the last few days voted for biden. signaling that his saturday win in south carolina and the endorsements from former rivals could have made the difference. >> what we need is a new politics that brings working class people into our political movement. which brings young people into our political movement. and which, in november, will
7:06 am
create the highest voter turnout in american political history. >> but that increased turn out last night, actually came in states that biden won. for example, in virginia. turnout jumped by more than 500,000 votes from the 2016 democratic primary. >> the turn out turned out for us. >> while biden continued to lead among african-american and voters 45 and over, sanders earned support from latinos and voters under the age of 45. >> we are putting together an unprecedented grass roots, multigenerational, multiracial movement. >> the numbers didn't look good for senator elizabeth warren, who finished third behind biden and sanders in her home state of massachusetts. >> i'm in this race because i believe i will make the best president of the united states. >> former new york mayor michael bloomberg skipped the early
7:07 am
primaries to concentrate on the super tuesday states spending more than $230 million of his own dollars on advertising there, but it didn't pay off. he came up short in states like north carolina and virginia and only won the u.s. territory of american samoa. >> in three months we've gone from 1% of the polls to being a contender for the democratic nomination for president. >> as for what's next, bloomberg is back in new york today and his campaign manager said they'll reassess going forward. as for now they're committing to staying in the race, same for senator elizabeth warren. could be a busy day. let's dig deeper into the numbers with anthony salvonto. long night for you. >> indeed. >> let's talk about two of the states where results have not come in, that is california and maine. how are they looking? >> maine very close. california leaning towards bernie sanders p.
7:08 am
he has the most delegates we've allocated so far but i think there's 2 million mail in ballots yet to come in. >> it's remarkable it's close in california. people thought bernie sanders was going to run away with it. joe biden big night for him, how did he pull it off? >> were you surprised, anthony? i watched as the numbers came in, going what was happening. >> haven't seen anything like that. >> so like bob. >> channelling bob there. when we saw the exit polls the first thing we noticed was the late deciders, people told us they made up their minds who to vote for in the last couple days after buttigieg and klobuchar dropped out and endorsed biden. all those folks, sometimes up to half the electorate in places like virginia, went to joe biden. so he took that support and strong support from the african-american vote and people who thought he could beat donald
7:09 am
trump -- >> you had the early voters on one hand and then people who decided in the last couple days. >> in places they cast a lot of mail ballots, like california, texas, you might have expected bernie sanders to do okay. but then the same day voters the ones who turned out last night, yesterday, all for joe biden. >> did people's perception of joe biden change? i had people saying i'm in line, trying to decide. is that bhawhat happened? >> he did have high favorables. but people decided they wanted someone that could beat donald trump even more than someone who agreed on the issues. >> next week what are we looking forwards? >> i think the big play is michigan, it's a battleground state, trying to argue that's where they can turn out democrats. and do it in november. chief washington correspondent major garrett is looking at how last night's results could change the democratic primary still to come. good morning to you, how does
7:10 am
that line go, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated? i think joe biden is waking up feeling really good this morning. how does he keep the momentum going? >> reporter: have three more weeks like he just had. i know we wanted to leap forward in political journalism but we should pause for a second and remind ourselves what happened in this past week. gayle you and i were in south carolina, on that debate stage, joe biden said he's going to win the south carolina primary. after the debate i asked how much? he said 1% is good enough for me. when he gets the jim clyburn endorsement, wins by 29 points. pete buttigieg drops out, amy klobuchar drops out. harry reed endorses joe biden. basically discounting the caucus he helped create where bernie sanders clocked joe biden. and last night he gets democrats in massachusetts, virginia,
7:11 am
texas, tennessee, alabama all to agree on the same thing, what is it? joe biden should be the nominee. that's one sensational week in american politics. that's what he has to do again. is that going to be easy? no. all these forces have coalesced behind joe biden, his task pull them together, hold them together and continue to persuade other democrats that he is the one and only person to lead this party. >> by my cal calculations mike bloomberg spent about $30 million per delegate won last night. what does he do now? >> reporter: he assesses. he could throw in the towel and say it didn't work. my sense is he'll stay at least a little bit longer. i know there's a sense of massive futility behind the bloomberg effort for him it did not work out, at least last night. but the content of his ads is not about anybody in the democratic field, it's about
7:12 am
donald trump, what does it race, the issue to lead in a crisis. we're in one right now with coronavirus. that money may not have helped mike bloomberg but it does lay a predicate for later on. >> bernie sanders has to broaden his support if he wants to be victorious, how does he do that? >> reporter: first you have to create a message that is more inclusive. and bernie sanders talks about what he's building, this multigeneration, multiracial coalition, last night was a good test of it, it didn't show up. he had decent numbers among some younger and some minority voters, but winning in california by not nearly the margin the sanders' campaign expe expected. it's not a campaign known for retooling. it's the same message over su
7:13 am
7:14 am
will be endorsing joe biden for president. that, once again now, closes in the moderate wing of the party but bloomberg getting out that quickly, he says he did the math this morning with his team, anything that bloomberg does is data driven they could see clearly there was no hope. the fact that virginia and north carolina went so decisively last night for biden with no viability for bloomberg is a signal it wasn't going to work. >> what do you think is likely
7:15 am
to happen to the extraordinary campaign apparatus that bloomberg has put together, some 2,400 staffers across 40-odd states. >> as of last night he spent about $560 million, 233 million of that in the super tuesday states. he said the majority of his staff that he's built across the country would continue on. many of those staffers are field organizers, the kinds of people that go out and figure out where to find votes for a candidate or a cause. he said that he would turn his operation over to the presumptive nominee who would be able to defeat president trump. bernie sanders has not necessarily said he would like that support, joe biden hasn't said it but we know could use the help in the financial point. we'll see if bloomberg runs attack ads against the president or runs ads in support of joe biden specifically, that's
7:16 am
unclear. but part of the reason these people were willing to take jobs from bloomberg was a, job protection through election day, but b, also the generous salaries and benefits they've been getting as well. >> are you surprised he dropped out so quickly. he said even if it didn't go his way, super tuesday, he would stay in the race. but i think he got a big dose of reality and said now this is no longer making sense for him to do this, and do you think h continue to financially support maybe now joe biden to follow-up on anthony's question? >> if he keeps to his word, then that is the plan, to continue spending money to defeat the president. whether he does it explicitly for biden or does it just designed to bring down the numbers for the president remains to be seen. as you said, gayle, it's exactly that, they looked at the numbers last night. they realized there's no hope at this point. that 402 delegates that the former vice president has and bloomberg still back with just a
7:17 am
few dozen is a sign at this point that it just won't happen because the vice president now has momentum in big places like michigan, arizona, florida, illinois, places he's bound to do well because democrats like him do. why not get out of the way, help make it happen for biden and see if he's able to put senator sanders away. >> he got in the race because joe biden wasn't doing well at the time and he thought he would be the one to save the democratic party. >> that's another piece of the calculus that had to break in his way and it isn't now with joe biden doing well. >> if biden picks up bloomberg's endorsement and staff, there are 2,400 workers on the bloomberg campaign spread across 43 states. in virginia, a primary state that joe biden won last night he had as little as a single field office opened up. if you're bernie sanders and you're hearing that michael bloomberg may be taking an
7:18 am
operation of that scale and putting it behind your primary competitor, what do you do to keep it a competitive race? >> sanders is going to plow on. he's been able to raise significant sums of money. he's out with three new television ads designed to make it a choice between sanders who says he wants to expand and protect programs like social security where biden in the '90s was in support of scaling back. but one other thing sanders is doing in a new ad is he's using the words and likeness of former president obama, who in just brief public remarks has said things good enough, frankly to appear in a 30 second television ad. it's incredible because sanders is running against the democratic establishment. who's a member of the establishment but the former president. we'll see how the contest shakes
7:19 am
out. bloomberg spent 17.3 million in virginia, money can't buy you the presidency. >> that's what major said last night, money can't buy you love. thank you, ed o'keefe. our coverage will continuing on cbsn and you can watch it at cbsnews.com or or app. >> many of you will return now to cbs this morning. >> this has been a cbs news special report. i'm tony dokoupil with anthony mason and gayle king. thank you for watching. >> announcer: for news 24 hours a day, go to

good morning to you our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, march 4th, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. ahead mayor mike bloomberg drops out after a big super tuesday night for joe biden. what comes next in this race for the white house? >> i'm tony dokoupil. we'll see how a tennessee city torn to pieces by a deadly tornado is struggling to recover. >> i'm anthony mason. d she'll be here looking back at some of her favorite moments. >> first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. former new york mayor mike bloomberg has just announced he is quitting the democratic presidential rate. >> what went wrong for
8:01 am
bloomberg? >> anything bloomberg does is data driven and they could see that clearly there was no hope. >> this democratic presidential race is now a close, two man contest after super tuesday last night. >> joe biden wakes up today in a far stronger position than anyone would have thought a few days ago. but senator sanders by no means is out of this. >> joe biden. big night for him. how did he pull it off? >> first thing we noticed was the late deciders. people who told us they made up their minds in the last couple days. that's after buttigieg and klobuchar had dropped out and endorsed joe biden. >> bernie sanders has to broaden his support if he wants to be victorious. how does he do that? >> he has to not only broaden his support but create a message that is more inclusive. >> great moment for jackson state student manager thomas lee affectionately known as snacks. >> snacks is in this game. >> snacks gets to check in for the last two minutes. promptly hits a deep three. >> snacks hit the three!
8:02 am
>> the place goes berserk. sugar snacks. snack daddy. >> all the way from downtown. >> get him some more playing time. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> i get the sense everybody likes snacks. it is such a friendly nickname. snacks. >> yes, it is. >> good for him. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we begin with breaking news. there's been a shakeup in the race for the democratic presidential nomination. this story is always changing the last 24 hours. less than an hour ago former new york city mayor mike bloomberg dropped out of the race after a poor showing on super tuesday last night. as you know he skipped the first four contests to focus on yesterday's vote but failed to win any primaries. his only victory was in the caucus for american samoa. >> joe biden won nine of the 14 state primaries last night including texas after a poor showing in the first three contests of 2020. bernie sanders, though, won three states and holds a substantial lead in california where it is still too early to
8:03 am
declare a winner. maine also too close to call. as of this morning bind has passed sanders in the all important race for delegates. ed o'keefe is in washington for us. good morning. it seems like it's all systems go in these campaigns and then all systems done and out. bloomberg dropping. what's behind that decision? >> reporter: yeah, guys. just in the last hour he issued a statement saying that, look. all the decisions he makes in his life are data driven. he says he is a big believer in using it. but after yesterday's results the delegate math has become virtually impossible he said and a viable path to the nomination no longer exists. he immediately threw his support to former vice president joe biden a man he said in his statement he has known a very long time. i know his decency, his honesty, and his commitment to the issues so important to our country including gun safety, health care, climate change, and good jobs. one other candidate to keep an eye on today is senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts. she is in boston this morning assessing her path forward with her team. a senior aide tells me just a little while ago her campaign manager issued a memo to her
8:04 am
staff across the country saying, quote, this decision is in her hands and it's important that she has the time and space to consider what comes next. warren placed a disappointing and distant third last night in her home state of massachusetts. if you can't deliver it there, questions about whether she can deliver it anywhere. >> that's three candidates now since the weekend who have left the race. bloomberg, buttigieg, klobuchar all endorsing biden. what does bernie sanders do to broaden his appeal at this point? >> reporter: he has to figure out something. one way he appears to be trying to do it is in a new tv ad that is now airing in florida and some of the other states that will hold contests later this month. it costars former president obama and uses images of the two walking together in the west wing of the white house and some statements that the former president once said about bernie sanders and the movement that he has built. quite interesting to see the senator who has been wrangling against the democratic party establishment for so long now trying to put himself in a bear hug with the former president as
8:05 am
they head into bigger states, more likely to be swing states in the coming months where sanders knows he has to find a way to convince people other than just the most liberal democrats to back him. >> that is a very interesting turn. what about bernie sanders' supporters now that it appears joe biden clearly has momentum, don't you think the sanders supporters will now double down? it'll energize them as well. >> reporter: probably will. absolutely. i suspect over the next few days we'll see sanders issuing fundraising appeals and evidence that he has been raising millions of dollars but what biden did last night, gayle, is a lot like that guy snacks down in mississippi. he hit the deep three-pointer and nobody expected he would. >> nobody saw that coming. >> snacks is going to get more playing time and so is joe biden. >> very good analogy. nicely done. >> thank you very much, ed. joining us now our cbs news political contributors. robby mook was hillary clinton's campaign manager in her 2016 run and terry was marco rubio's campaign manager in his
8:06 am
presidential bid four years ago. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> a little over a week ago joe biden's campaign was on life support. he was broke. how do you account for this resurrection, robby? >> well, i would actually argue this wasn't a resurrection. this was just a first time that we had a broad swath of the electorate participating in the primary. iowa and nevada were small caucuses. new hampshire is demographically very unique. south carolina is unique in some ways, two-thirds african-american. this is the first time we had the entire electorate engaged and honestly if you talk to me a few months ago biden did as we might have expected him to do. i think just because he lost those early contests people started to get nervous. i do, however, think that those endorsements from klobuchar and buttigieg really did provide him a critical push because what most democrats care about is defeating trump and they were
8:07 am
looking for signals about who is the winner who can get this done? there were a lot of those signals coming after south carolina. >> terry, people seem to have mixed reviews about whether endorsements made a difference in the past but they certainly matter here. congressman clyburn and the black vote and as robby said the key endorsements from former rivals. with that in mind does bernie sanders need to get a key endorsement? what does he need to do? i would think the sanders base is also very energized today. >> look, at the echbd the day endorsements matter but they're more of a signal of what is happening on the ground than it is what they're actually pretending to show going forward. at this point you have a tie race for delegates functionally speaking and i can't imagine that if i told you that a year ago that joe biden and bernie sanders were tied after super tuesday any democrat in the country would have been excited
8:08 am
about that. it's all imperfective at this point. >> you've seen a version of this before in 2016. you have joe biden on the one hand who is definitely a democrat, long-time democrat, classic establishment figure. then you have bernie sanders who biden says is he really a democrat at all? how does this shake out and what does it say about the divide in the party? >> yeah, well, two things. first of all i think it is really important that these candidates not impune each other's character. we cannot send that into this fight with donald trump who has years to prepare. we have to really hold the candidates to that. the other thing i would say is, you know, hillary came out of super tuesday with the lead. somewhere around a hundred delegates. we thought sanders would come out with the lead and biden was going to make that up in the following contests. we're actually in the opposite -- we don't really know because we are waiting on california. right now biden has a lead of 80
8:09 am
something delegates. say this is even a tie. i would argue these next states, the tenth and then definitely the 17th are looking pretty good for biden. i would feel good about him in michigan. i think he is going to do incredibly well in mississippi. in missouri and washington, washington now a primary. used to be a caucus. it is hard to see if this is a tie which it is not right now but if it becomes one how bernie garners enough delegates. >> elizabeth warren, quickly, what do you think happens to her now? >> i've been in the tough spot of managing a campaign for a candidate who loses their home state. it is tough to see a path forward for her but she served her purpose for the establishment of the democrat party by knee capping bernie sanders last night and robbing some key states and, from bernie, and giving them to joe biden. like her home state. so she served her purpose for joe biden. now i think it is just the exit for her. >> all right. robby mook and terry sullivan always good to see you guys. see you next time. >> good seeing you. >> thanks. dozens of people are still missing in tennessee after
8:10 am
america's deadliest tornado outbreak in years. at least 24 people have been killed and officials say many victims were asleep in bed when the storms hit. the system shredded building in nashville before cutting an even more destructive path east of the city. our lead national correspondent david begnaud reports from the hard hit area of cookville, tennessee. >> reporter: i have a feeling you've never heard the toughest story we are about to share with you this morning. there was a home where i'm standing. the people who were in here took shelter in their bath tub. the tornado lifted the house and i mean all of it with the people in the tub and the four walls around them. they flew more than 50 yards to the tree line behind me. the home obliterated. but they survived. here is a picture of what the home used to look like before the tornado. now it's just a hole. there is not even a concrete slab here. the path goes on for nearly a mile. listen to them tell their story.
8:11 am
>> this is where the bathroom was. >> this is seth wells and danielle. >> i got woke up at 1:50 from my phone with a tornado warning. that's when i heard it. it was this deep roar rumbling sound that i've never heard before. we were flying in the air into the trees back there where once we hit those trees, the house -- >> it just exploded. the house just disintegrated. >> reporter: you flew through the air inside the house? >> i could feel myself lifting and flipping over. >> reporter: seth wanted to show us just how far they flew in the air. nearly 50 yards. just to give you an idea how far it is from where we're standing our truck lights in the distance, that's where their house is. or was. >> that right there is the tub that we were laying in.
8:12 am
>> reporter: oh, wow. >> i have no clue how we survived. >> reporter: i've seen houses partially torn off. >> yeah. >> reporter: i've never seen a home essentially picked up and just taken. >> like "wizard of oz." >> reporter: that is exactly right. among the 18 people who died here in putnam county, are josh and erin kimberlin and their 2-year-old son sawyer as well as 4-year-old hattie collins. her parents, matt and macy, survived. danielle says her forehead was split open requiring 15 stitches. seth told us he has nothing but bruises. they are both so grateful to be alive. >> i just love how the two of you are kind of holding on to each other. >> we're not going to let go. not after this. not ever. we're not letting go. >> reporter: they didn't just say that for the camera. yesterday danielle asked seth if he would marry her. he said yes. anthony?

in today's "morning rounds" a warning about panic buying over the coronavirus. the world health organization says people are snapping up medical supplies and that could put health care workers at risk. put health care workers at risk. the outbreak caused a run on surgical-style masks and hand sanitizers and event preventative items, but is all that really necessary?
8:20 am
mola lenghi spent the day inside a georgia production facility to find out how people's response to the virus is stressing the supply chain. >> reporter: the floor here at medicom's augusta, georgia, factory is buzzing. they're working nearly around the clock to fill demand. >> we're really busy and we've even been doing some overtime, we've been working on the weekends to try to make sure we get all of our customers what they need. >> reporter: protective masks of every kind of flying off store shelves around the country. including a run on hand sanitizer, as fears of a spreading coronavirus have catapulted sales of protective medical supplies. >> trying to help government entities to work together. >> reporter: guillaume laverdure is the chief operating officer of medicom. >> what sort of numbers in terms of increase have you seen here at your plants? >> the demand is multiplied by

5, 10. it's just out of any proportion that we have seen in the past. >> reporter: this factory is moving as briskly as it can, but it might not be fast enough to keep up with the nervous public's appetite. >> we don't recommend them for the general public. >> reporter: denver health chief medical office and infectious disease researcher dr. connie savor price says the dwindling mask supply is worrisome. >> i am concerned about our hospital facilities and our ability to deliver continued care not only for coronavirus but other routine illnesses. >> reporter: a standard surgical mask is effective at resisting large airborne droplets or other fluids but is not designed to filter viruses. its loose fit also makes it easier for droplets to enter around the edges of the mask. the n-95 respirator is an upgrade, a tight custom-fitted mask that forces inhaled air toward the mask's body and not its edges. it's capable of filtering out
8:22 am
95% of particulates, including small droplets, but not viral particles. >> in fact it could have the alternative undesired effect of transmitting these infections more readily to the untrained wearer. >> there's no role for these masks in the community. >> reporter: despite pleas from public health officials -- >> for everyday new yorkers, there's no need to use a mask. >> reporter: panic buying of surgical masks seems to continue. >> and this struggle to meet the demand is not specific to your company, it's industrywide? >> it's all over the industry and all over the countries. so we have a factory in france. we're facing exactly the same challenge. >> reporter: mola lenghi, augusta, georgia. >> i was thinking about it. >> we've heard from the

8:30 am
welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you some of the stories that are the talk of the table this morning. this is where we each pick a story we'd like to share with each other and with all of you, and we have a special guest this morning. deborah norville, the anchor of "inside edition" is with us for talk of the table celebrating 25 years. and you brought baked goods. >> i did. i heard gayle say i hope she's bringing cake so i hit the doughnut man. >> very nicely done. gayle, you're starting this off. >> i'm going to start this off, and thank you for that. i'm going to start with joe biden's wife, jill. along with his senior advisor, jill showed some serious muscle against protesters last night. demonstrators stormed the stage while joe biden delivered his super tuesday victory speech in
8:31 am
los angeles. one protester was stopped by a security guard but dr. jill biden blocked a second demonstrator and pushed her away from the stage. there she goes. >> look at her go. >> and dr. biden advisor and biden advisor symone sanders pulled the person off the stage. the former vice president does not have secret service protection at this time. sanders, who was praised for quick reaction tweeted i just broke a nail. this is not the first time dr. jill biden has done this. in new hampshire about three weeks ago she prevented somebody else from going after joe biden. she says i'm just a good philly girl. but i love that she does that. >> it's funny, but that was actually quite a scary moment because you had no idea what those two people were trying to do. >> no idea who they are or what they're doing but she didn't care. >> talk about cheerful warrior, she seemed to be smiling pushing them back. >> #don't mess with my man. >> exactly. >> here's my contribution to the table. a dad in florida is getting national attention for posting dozens of dance videos while his
8:32 am
son was in the hospital. take a look at this. >> i like this story. >> that's firefighter chris askew who's been on tiktok doing the same dance almost 50 days as he waited for his little boy, dylan, to leave the neonatal intensive care unit. dylan was born ten weeks premature. in january, he's baby number four for the family. there you see little dylan has all the tubes off, he's being handed over to mommy and daddy to go home. and "inside edition" was there the day he graduated from the nicu unit. at that last moment, the entire wing of the nic unit, including his doctor, did the happy dance. >> so great. i've been through one of those waiting periods in the nicu. >> it's a reminder, it's not just mom, it's the whole family. >> right. >> and "inside edition" was there. >> yes, we were. >> well done, florida dad. it's turning out to be a very good morning for florida.
8:33 am
i'm from south florida. there's a twitter handle and the headlines from florida, they don't cover themselves in glory. but another florida man made an amazing discovery along florida's treasure coast and that coast lived up to its name. last month two treasure hunters, florida men using metal detectors, discovered 22 spanish coins on a beach believed to be from a shipwreck more than 300 years old. silver coins estimated to be worth about $6,000 in all. the best part is they're going to be able to keep these coins. if they had found them in the ocean, you need a special permit for that. believe it or not, sometimes the country of spain will sue to get it back. but because they found it on a public beach, they get to keep their find. >> 300 years? >> but they're only worth $6,000. i would think they would be worth a lot more. >> there's a lot more out there. apparently there were 11 ships sunk in a hurricane in 1715. >> wow. i'd be going back to that beach
8:34 am
like every day. >> that's a good florida man story. >> it is a good florida man story. >> here's my story. there was an unusual wedding crasher in the cleveland area. a younger brother brought a llama to his older sister's wedding on sunday. look at the reaction on the bride's face. she was not happy. the llama, named shocky, was wearing a tuxedo and also wearing a yarmulke. it was a promise the brother made to his sister about five years ago. he warned her he was going to do this, so she kind of knew it was coming. the bride apparently -- well, she said she agreed to take one picture and she said you could tell by the look on my face i wasn't particularly happy about it. >> but i think it's a sign of things to come in the family. they have a good sense of humor. >> she said i've already started planning my revenge. >> she's going to have a good
8:35 am
time. that's a fun family. the main reason deborah norville is here with us this week is because this week marks her 25th year anchoring "inside edition." her first episode aired on march 6, 1995. >> hello and welcome to "inside edition. i'm deborah norville. a witness for o.j. simpson's defense breaks her silence. >> wow. over the years she's covered defining moments in our history and gone above and beyond to present critical stories. she's reported from inside a jail, a plane and a hospital bed just hours after giving birth. deborah took a short break last year to have surgery for thyroid cancer and she shared her journey with "inside edition" viewers. she also shared it with us. she was here at the table. we're going to get the update first, but let's celebrate you for just a second. >> thank you. >> i think america first met you on the "today" show. it was a hello deborah norville. shortly after that it was
8:36 am
good-bye, deborah norville. at that time what did you think was going to happen to your career? they say revenge is really sweet. success is the best revenge. >> i honestly didn't think i'd ever be back on television. truth be told the critics didn't either. there was a guy who wrote for "the chicago tribune" at that time. i was left for dead on the side of the road. you know, when you read about yourself, left for dead on the side of the road, you have two choices. you can either accept their definition for what your career is going to be or you can say, sir, i'm going to prove you wrong. >> and you did. so what does this feel like to you, deborah? >> i'm so pleased. i'm so pleased for the "inside edition" team. you guys know and everybody watching at home knows television is a challenging business these days, shows come and go. "inside edition" has been on the air for 32 years. i've been part of it for 25 of them. >> the ratings are good. >> the ratings are great. we're going our lead-in. we are the number one show of our type out there, the number five show in syndication. and a lot of people watch us.
8:37 am
i'm just grateful to the viewers. if y'all weren't watching and we weren't doing stories you weren't interested in, i wouldn't be here. >> but those 25 years goes by in a flash, right? >> like that, yeah. >> can we talk about the video we saw before. >> with all that hair? >> what was going on there? >> so here's the thing. one of our producers had heard voice tracks of whitney houston and madonna who are incredible singers. so they said let's do a story and show how those people are really the stars of the music industry. if we can make deborah sound like a rock star, that will prove it. so the problem is "inside edition," sorry, guys, we're too cheap to pay for anybody else's song. oh, i'll sing such and such. no, you won't because we won't pay for it. i had to write the song that you're seeing there. >> so you've got a song writing credit. >> the song is called "keep on moving." >> which is your anthem. >> it is my anthem. i'm going to keep on moving, keep on pushing, nobody is going to stop me now. >> did you go home like that?
8:38 am
>> i did. the day we shot that video, this was -- orbet did my hair, this very famous person. it's all clipped on underneath the real stuff. we didn't have time to take it out because i have three kids and had to get ready for dinner. so i walk in, we live in a townhouse. and he's like -- hello, it's mommy, let me in. the dog lets me in. my then 15-year-old son was standing at the top of the stairs and he goes mom? hey, nick. he goes, you look cool. and my husband said, babe, we're going out. so it was a big night at my house. >> you mentioned the kids. there's a picture of you anchoring your show hours after giving birth. >> mm-hmm. >> walk us through that decision. >> not my call. >> it was not your call? >> not my call -- >> you could have said no. >> my producer called me, she came two weeks early, my daughter mikayla. she came two weeks early. i called the producer and said i
8:39 am
won't be at work today but i've got a really good excuse. she called me up 20 minutes later and she said it this fast. well, do you think it's not too much trouble, you come down to the sidewalk and we'll do the rest of the show and nobody will know you're gone. i'm like you know what, note to self, they are not paying you nearly as much as you're obviously worth to these people. but i said if it's okay with the hospital and doesn't disturb anybody, i will do it on one condition, hair and makeup come an hour before the camera guys. as you saw, there i was introducing our newest viewer. >> so how are you feeling? i'm looking at your neck. >> isn't it great? not much of a scar. i'm feeling great. thank you for asking. and thank you for letting me come on a year ago to talk about -- >> but it made a difference for a lot of people, deborah. >> people started looking, i started hearing from people. i think the message is this. you have to be proactive about your own health. we all have these things within
8:40 am
hand's reach. go in your thing and put in a reminder every year for the next 20 years to check whether it's your mammogram or your prostate or your thyroid or whatever it is that you need to have checked. put a reminder in and keep that appointment with yourself. >> did going through that change your approach to life at all? >> that's a good question, anthony. i think i have always gratitude. i write books about that kind of stuff. so it has certainly enhanced that. but i think it has -- it's prompted me to not only just grab every day with gusto, which i think i did anywhere, but to be more of a buttinski, to be honest with you. no, you've got to go check that out. your slip is showing, i'll tell you your slip is showing. if i see something on you that looks weird, i'm not that person that doesn't say anything. that's how it's changed me. >> deborah

the other one's name is carmen. carmen. and you know what, lady, you forget about the dress. we can tell everybody carmen is puerto rican and it never occurred to you that she might be built differently. >> that's america ferrera in the film with t"the sisterhood of t traveling pants." she also made a name for herself on "ugly betty." now she's stepping behind the
8:45 am
camera as executive producer of a new netflix series, the by ling wall comedy "gentefied" tells the story of a family trying to keep their business afloat. she talked about her love of story telling with her passion for her latina roots. >> boyle heights is so stunning and such a gorgeous backdrop, such a beautiful community. >> reporter: america ferrera is no stranger to east l.a.'s boyle heights. the mostly latino community provided the setting for her first big movie role, "real women have curves." >> she has thoughts, ideas a mind of her own. >> reporter: nearly two decades later she's back as executive producer for a new netflix series created by two young latina writers. "gentefied" follows three mexican american cousins trying to save their family's taco shop as rising rent prices threaten to drive them out of the
8:46 am
neighborhood. >> we're not going to save the shop with a burrito, we're going to save it with changes. >> "gentefied" is gentrification so it's progress in a neighborhood but by the people who are from there. >> reporter: we met up with ferrera with the restaurant that serves as the taco shop's exterior. >> i really saw my experience and my identity struggles in what they had written. >> i would imagine that's what drew you to the project then? >> absolutely. the kind of push and pull of gentrification, of progress and the tension that that creates with roots and with history is sort of an issue that i've lived with internally by whole life. >> reporter: ferrera grew up in southern california wanting to fit in, but also craving a connection to her honduran heritage. >> my genuine heart's desire is to tell stories that haven't been told. we learn to see ourselves in tom hanks and julia roberts, or whoever you have. but there's no reason why we can't also have genuine
8:47 am
authentic reflections of who we really are. >> reporter: that authenticity came in part by forming ties with the people of boyle heights. >> we started building relationships with organizers and activists and organizations here in the community before we came in and started shooting. >> reporter: the show chronicles gentrification in a neighborhood already facing its own real-life transformation. >> it's a very contentious issue, particularly right here in boyle heights. >> was that something you guys took into account as you were putting the show together, the idea that there would be pushback from the people who lived here? >> absolutely. does it help to talk about this issue, to spotlight boyle heights, or does it hurt? i think that those questions are all very alive and explored in the series. >> >> reporter: ferrera has a cameo in the show but her main role is behind the scenes directing and producing. >> it's hard to get stories about people like us made.
8:48 am
>> like us as in? >> as in latinos. and then to get those stories told by us is very, very uncommon. to get to tune in to the series and see a whole brand new cast full of incredible talent, that's a win. you know, it doesn't have to be tune in to see america ferrera the only latina you see or one of the five. like that's boring. >> reporter: the 35-year-old now pregnant with her second child is mindful about the society she wants her kids to grow up in. >> my desire is to raise my children to love who they are and to love everything about who they are and let their natural innate love of themselves and love of others be what guides them. >> reporter: she hopes the show will create a world where latinos feel empowered both on and off screen. >> we made this show to appeal
8:49 am
to a very specific audience, an audience like ourselves who very rarely get to see ourselves on screen. i think tom hanks and julia roberts should tune in and see themselves in me and in the people i grew up with. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," mireya villarreal. >> that's a beautiful piece. it's great to see shows being made like that. >> she's known as ugly betty and now she's an e.p. i like it. >> we'll be right back.
