slam. boom. oh yeah. atomic elbow drop. >> also known as dr. jill biden, a great picture as nancy pointed out, you look at the expression on her face, she's ready. >> special agent jill biden. >> nicely done, dr. biden. as you wake up in the west, coronavirus outbreak is taking a serious turn in california where a cruise ship is held off the coast. california declared a state of emergency after the first death from coronavirus illness. the victim was a passenger on that ship. >> this is the first known death in the u.s. outside washington state where at least ten people died. there are more than 160 other confirmed infections in 17 states, including 54 in california. jamie is in california where the cruise ship was supposed to arrive. what's happening now? >> reporter: the ship off the

coast is not expected to dock until passengers on board can be tested for the virus. a 71-year-old man on the same ship last month died yesterday. several passengers on board now may have that virus as well. this is where the princess cruise ship was expected to dock last night in san francisco. it set sail last month, now the grand princess is ordered to remain offshore over coronavirus fears. >> we are going to be flying testing kits to the cruise ship, and we're going to be sending those quickly back to the state, primarily to richmond lab where we'll be able to test very quickly. >> reporter: lee and her sister are on board the ship, they say they couldn't sleep after hearing what happened. >> everything was running through my head. i don't want to go home to take anything to them, i don't want to take it to my city if i happen to have it on my clothes,

and i don't know. >> reporter: further south in los angeles county, there are six confirmed cases, including a medical screener at los angeles international airport. >> potential public health risk is elevated and significant. we expect to see more cases as announced today. >> reporter: health officials coast to coast continue to stop the virus from spreading. in washington state where a tenth person died yesterday at the nursing home, an old econo lodge motel will be turned into a quarantine facility. in new york, several schools closed after an outbreak in westchester county. coronavirus patient lawrence is recovering. medical authorities say the infection of the 50-year-old spread to nine other people, including three members of his own family, his neighbor and another family. >> we're now playing this game one here, one here, one here, whack a mole. it is going to be dozens and dozens and dozens. >> reporter: amazon is asking

employees in seattle to work from home for the rest of the month after a worker tested positive for the virus. back here in california, the governor said the state would reach out to every county with passengers on the cruise ship to keep local officials updated. >> thank you very much. lawmakers could send president trump an emergency spending bill today, providing $8.3 billion to fight the virus and find a vaccine. ben tracy is at the white house. 8.3 billion. that's more money than the trump administration originally asked for. >> reporter: sure is. initially the trump administration requested $2.5 billion which is an amount even some republican lawmakers said underestimated what would be needed. the president now says he is happy to take as much money as congress is willing to give. as the coronavirus spreads, the president continued efforts to calm public fears, calling into fox news last night. >> it's a very small number in

this country. >> reporter: he challenged an estimate from world health organization this week that 3.4% of coronavirus patients worldwide have died. >> i think the 3.4% is really a false number. now, this is just my hunch, because a lot of people will have this, and it is very mild. personally i would say the number is way under 1%. >> reporter: the house oversight committee launched an investigation about the response, including reports there were flaws in some tests, facing criticism for a slow roll out of test kits, president trump blamed his predecessor. >> the obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we are doing. >> reporter: the cdc director said under the obama administration certain labs were limited inability to conduct tests without fda approval. but that was intended to increase regulations that had not been updated in years. the government says it is now distributing 1.5 million coronavirus test kits, and the

centers for disease control is now allowing anyone with symptoms and doctor's permission to get tested. while they fought against government expansion of health care, they announced costs of coronavirus tests will be covered by private insurance as well as medicare and medicaid. the vice president left the briefing without addressing the uninsured. >> reporter: afterwards an aide said the government would cover the cost for those without insurance. as for challenging the mortality rate of the coronavirus, some medical experts agree with him because they say we don't yet know the full scale of the outbreak. >> all right, ben, thank you. that's a question. rapid spread of the virus is triggering urgent action around the world. so far 81 countries have reported cases. 95,000 people or more have been infected worldwide, and 3200 of them died.

italy's government closed all schools in the country. charlie, good morning to you there. not playing around in italy. what else is going on there? >> reporter: they're not playing around, gayle. tourist sights are open, numbers are way down. as the crisis deepens, this is what is in store for the united states. the nationwide shutdown -- new numbers skyrocketed. more than 3,000 cases now, 107 dead. expanding regions in lockdown, all soccer matches in stadiums. forget hand sanitizers, masks. at a rome pharmacy, we found goggles and hazmat suits for sale. >> people are scared.

>> yeah. people are going crazy, crazy because the situation is not explained so much. >> reporter: to iran, in two weeks, cases soared to more than 3500. there are fears the outbreak is far greater. but he has accused other countries are hiding figures. in south korea, the outbreak has forced a shortage of hospital beds in the epicenter dagu. more than 5700 cases make it the second highest in the world behind china where the outbreak began more than 80,000 cases, 3,000 dead, though the only country where spread of the illness has slowed down. here the kids may be looking forward to a couple weeks off, but when they close down schools in japan, it caused chaos because hospital staff had to stay home to look after their kids. >> thank you. you need to be careful, too. thanks a lot.

tomorrow, we have a one hour special on coronavirus, the race to respond. the latest on the own, tracking, treatment, and what you need to know to protect yourself and your family. that's tomorrow morning here on cbs this morning. democratic frontrunners joe biden and bernie sanders are crisscrossing the country ahead of the next slate of presidential primaries. six states will hold votes next week, including the battleground state of michigan which sanders narrowly won four years ago. biden leads the delegate count after a presumptive win in maine. california is leaning to sanders, but that race hasn't been called yet. ed o'keefe is following it. what are candidates up to to keep up the fight? >> reporter: one big question mark. bernie sanders and former vice president joe biden are preparing for a tough fight over future of the democratic party, set to expose some of the big dirch differences over key issues. >> the idea we didn't have a movement, look at the results,

look at who is showing up. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden calls it a movement, while bernie sanders acknowledges his movement struggled to bring out new voters. >> i think that will change in the general election. i am going to be honest with you, we have not done as well in bringing young people in. it is not easy. >> reporter: ahead of next week's critical primary in michigan, a state president trump won by over 10,000 votes, sanders is highlighting his differences with biden. >> michigan was decimated by a terrible, terrible trade deals, cost our country some 4 million good paying jobs. i walked the picket lines against nafta, went to mexico to see what nafta would do. joe voted for those terrible things. >> reporter: the former vice president believes future trade negotiations should include input from labor and environmental leaders. after a surprising turnaround super tuesday, biden's campaign is getting another boost. >> i'm glad to say i endorsed

joe biden. >> reporter: former mayor, michael bloomberg, who spent $500 million on his own run said he will support biden's candidacy. >> mr. bloomberg comes on board, he will solidify support with political leadership. we're taking that on. running a grass roots campaign. >> reporter: the sanders campaign is seeking to broaden support. this ad featuring former president obama is evident of that. >> bernie is something that has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes. >> reporter: that new ad includes a clip of mr. obama and sanders back in 2016 on the day the former president decided to endorse sanders' opponent hillary clinton. in response to the ad, sanders said while they were not best friends, they talk every now and then, he respects mr. obama's decision to withhold endorsement until there's a nominee. tony, i have to believe whichever aide took that footage is in good shape with senator sanders, he has something to prove he talked to the former president. >> may not be close, they have

taken pictures together. thank you very much. sticking with politics, comments from chuck schumer prompted a rare rebuke from chief justice john roberts. speaking at a rally on steps of the supreme court while a key abortion case was argued inside, senator schumer singled out two conservative justices by name. >> i want to tell you, gorsuch, i want to tell you, cavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. >> well, in a statement, chief justice john roberts said threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. schumer's office said he meant gop lawmakers would pay the price, not justices themselves. the search for survivors is still not complete in tennessee after tornadoes left at least 24 people dead there. in hard hit putnam county, three are still unaccounted for. the tornado was on the ground

more than 50 miles. one of the longest paths of destruction in the region's history. this shows a house in cookville, tenlz before t-- tennessee befo storm. david begnaud shows it to us now. >> reporter: gayle, look at this. this is what's left of that home. when you look at it, you can understand how three people died here. yesterday, gayle, we told you a story of hope and survival. today it is one of grief. this is where the kim betterlands lived. mom, dad, baby sawyer. i asked where in the house was sawyer's room. they said right here. >> just turned two last week. it's going. >> reporter: clint pits shared with us photos and videos of his

sister erin, former school teacher. her husband josh, a mechanical engineer, their only child sawyer. they were devoutly christian, and sawyer, grandson of a preacher loved to direct song with one of his favorite books, the church hymnal. >> something about a family unit going together, i can't get it out of my mind. >> terrible as it sounds, they wouldn't want to live without each other. it hurts, but they are together now. that's all week at this point ask for. >> reporter: four houses down is what's left of the collins home. matt, a youth minister at a local church. he and his wife were hurt, they'll survive. their four-year-old daughter hat ee was killed, youngest child

la lany was critically injured. she turns one today. both lived in this neighborhood where homes are little more than trash piles now. 18 people died in putnam county county, tennessee. the national weather service confirms the tornado here had winds of more than 175 miles per hour. when you speak to survivors along this street like eric grooms who has nothing left but the foundation of his home and the carpet that his family sat on while the closet walls flew away, this is what they say. >> nope, you're not taking these today. literally. you take the floor and house, leave the people. no. nobody can do that but god. nobody. >> reporter: four people walked away from that home which is across from where the kimberlands lived. i am standing on that slab now.

i asked relatives where could they have gone to live. they think the only space would have been in the crawl space under the house. the reality, we'll never know what the final moments were like, if they had time to get here, anthony. >> wow, david. >> that's a lot of pain. of pain. you told an incredible story there. i don't even know what to say after listening to the stories of those families. i'm touched by clint's brother saying they're all together as painful as that is. >> that question lingers, how are we all still here. >> all right. ahead the mother of two missing kids that was arrested in hawaii will face a judge in her home state of idaho. what could happen at that good thursday morning to year. we are starting off the day with temperatures in the 40s and in the 50s. also, some patchy fog. a few more clouds to start our day. on show flow is kicking in.

. this is a cbs news special report. i'm anthony mason with tony dokoupil in new york. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren has just dropped out of the democratic presidential race. two days after finishing third or fourth in every one of the super tuesday primaries, including the one in her home state. >> the former harvard law professor picked up a significant amount of support last career after entering the race, but eventually was outpaced by senator bernie sanders as the favorite of left wing democratic voters. warren's exit follows michael bloomberg's decision to end his

campaign and endorse former vice president joe biden. so the question now will become who will she endorse. >> there is no word on that endorsement yet. she has spoken with both senator sanders and vice president biden. she is due to speak with her staff this morning. >> and because she had staked out a middle position, she could go either way. >> she is under pressure from both sides, obviously, from the progressive side as well to endorse senator sanders. our coverage will continue on our 24 hour streaming network cbsn. watch it at cbsnews.com or on our cbs news app. >> there will be more to come on your local news on this cbs station and tonight on the "cbs evening news" with more a o'donnell. many of you will now turn to "cbs this morning." this has been a cbs news special report. i'm tony dokoupil with anthony mason. cbs news new york. >> announcer: for news 24 hours

>> i know how it's going to end but those first two days are going to be dope. it's going to be so much fun. >> always a good thing. >> are they? i don't know. >> the kids love dinosaurs. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we begin in california which is now under a state of emergency because of the coronavirus. at the same time a cruise ship full of passengers is staying offshore near san francisco because of the virus. a former passenger on that ship has died in california. it's the first coronavirus death in the u.s. outside washington state where at least ten people have passed away. in all, more than 160 people are infected. this morning at least 95,000 cases are reported worldwide. >> the victim in california is a 71-year-old man who apparently got the virus on that princess cruise ship on a trip to mexico last month. a u.s. coast guard helicopter

will deliver test kits to the ship this morning. it was supposed to dock in san francisco last night after a cruise to hawaii. about 1.5 million other test kits are being distributed across the u.s. in washington the house agreed on an emergency spending bill providing more than $8 billion to fight the coronavirus. our dr. david agus is in los angeles following the latest developments in the coronavirus outbreak. david, good morning. >> good morning, anthony. >> the number of coronavirus cases has nearly tripled in just a week. so what should we consider the risk to be at this point? >> well, i realize part of the reason it's going up dramatically is that for the first time now we are testing. we have some tests. we don't have enough tests. tests are still being distributed across the country. until yesterday afternoon you had to be hospitalized with symptoms to get a test. so we haven't tested most people. that being said, it is still relatively low risk for anybody having a complication from

coronavirus in this country. it will happen but it is a very low rate. >> the virus seems to be spreading more quickly here. is it? >> it is certainly spreading quickly. every person with it can spread to other people. it is what we call exponential spread. the more people have it, the more people will have it. it will keep going. and we're starting to see that now. we're starting to see schools close, offices say work from home. and those sorts of quarantine measures are what is required to stop the virus and they're happening as we speak. >> doctor, in south korea they are testing people at drive through stations where people get their temperature taken. could we see that kind of wide scale testing here in the u.s.? >> well, listen. it's brilliant right? most people don't want to go to an emergency room and sit there for three hours and be tested where other people are coughing. if they don't have the virus when they went in they may have it when they went out. in south korea you get in your car, drive, they test you and tell you later in the day what happened. that certainly makes sense to

me. those kind of systems in the united states i think would change the numerator. the problem is we don't know the death rate in our country or around the world because we don't know who has the virus. so if you change the numerator that is the number of people being tested, we can get real data, enact policy, and have leadership. >> when it comes to stopping the spread of the virus, some other countries have very specific recommendations like in israel they're saying don't touch the little prayer thing on the doorway. in france they're saying don't kiss on the cheeks hello. we don't have that level of specific recommendation here from the cdc. why is that? >> well, because we don't kiss people on the cheek like in france. >> we do a lot of other things though. should we not be shaking hands, not gathering in groups of ten? >> 100% we need leadership here. we need to change our interactions. when you touch somebody, obviously there is the potential for spread of virus. the government needs to step up. we need transparency on data. we need to know how many tests are being done in each city and what is the positive rate in each area. we need to know how many tests are available.

we need to know behavior change modifications. each of us need to make to get norm tiff behavior change you need leadership and we need that badly in this country. >> i think tony raises a good point. i went to see "west side story" last night and ran into a friend. he said is it okay to hug? i go i think so. i really don't know the answer to these questions. >> i think we all have to use an abundance of caution. it is not necessarily for ourselves but it may be our elderly parents. maybe it's our neighbor who is 85 years old or the neighbor two houses down who has breast cancer and is getting treatment. we all have to look out for each other. it's a new era in our country and it is an era of community. >> david, a vaccine is at least a year away. where do we actually stand on treating this? >> a vaccine is at least a year away. 18 months. probably the soonest if at all. we have drugs that we think may work. and they're being tested now in clinical trials in nebraska and in europe. some of those drugs are already on the market for hiv and influenza.

others are newer drugs meant for those diseases but work against this one. some of the mechanisms to allow the virus to divide are the same among viruses. and so there is certainly encouragement that these drugs will work. we should have the data over the next several weeks. >> is there a question out there that you are still wondering about that needs to be answered? >> i know very little about this virus. i don't know exactly how it is transmitted or how long someone is infectious. i don't know if someone gets an infection a year later can they get a reinfection with this virus? those are all unanswered questions. when you have the head of the world health organization say, i'm not really sure what's going on to me that is a very scary moment. the scientific community, the leadership in politic needs to get together and start to say here are the questions we need answered and to deivy it up and all of us come up together with answers. >> thank you very much, dr. david agus. here in new york city this morning the mayor has announced two more people have tested positive for the virus. many schools around the world as

you know have shut down some for extended periods of time as this virus spreads. in the u.s., some schools in seven states have temporarily closed as a precaution. meg oliver is at a middle school in new jersey where other schools are preparing for possible outbreaks. how are schools getting ready? good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. yes, let's be clear. this middle school behind me is still open for business but they say they are prepared for the worst. if they had to shut down they could continue teaching remotely through the end of the school year. raise your hands if you're concerned with the coronavirus. at the middle school in little falls, new jersey there is no panic but there is concern. >> i don't want to die. >> i would like to hear answers about how we can prevent it. >> how viral hewn it spreaand h so quickly. >> i try to impress upon them they are resilient, strong, very

capable of handling things that are challenging. >> sherry glassman is the school psychologist. what do parents need to know about the coronavirus? >> grown-ups have to be aware of our own anxiety. children pick up on that. they start to say, wow. if my mother or father is doing this, then maybe there is something i should worry about. >> reporter: is there an age limit where you wouldn't talk to a child about the coronavirus? >> i would say absolutely any child under 6 i would not be having a conversation unless they brought a concern to you. >> reporter: school officiales are doing their best to keep the virus out so students won't have anything to worry about. the custodial staff is wiping down door knobs, handle bars, inside the bathrooms. >> you've stepped up cleaning. >> absolutely. >> reporter: how many more times are you cleaning now? >> this time of year we pick up just because viruses, the flu are always more prevalent in the winter. so we'll go from one or two times a day to then two or three. and now we're up to four.

>> reporter: if there is an outbreak are you prepared? >> i believe we absolutely are. >> reporter: the coronavirus has forced several schools in the u.s. to close briefly. in countries like japan and italy schools are being closed for weeks. we can hear you. can you hear us? >> yes! >> reporter: in little falls, they're prepared to teach kids remotely if the schools are forced to shut. each student has technology to learn from home. how long could you teach remotely? >> honestly and i'd be looking for the teachers to join in, if we had to, we could teach the remainder of the year remotely. >> reporter: mrs. donovan are you prepared to teach remotely if something happens? >> yes, and the children are, too. >> reporter: of course shuttered schools disrupt whole families and that can cause a ripple through the economy. >> first and foremost somebody has to stay with the children. and so it's probably going to be a parent. any household budget is going to feel that immediately. so discretionary spending, if it's not the roof over your head, the food, the medicine,

everything else goes on hold. >> reporter: school officials say it is a good idea for families to prepare now just in case schools close. talk to your relatives and neighbors to come up with a plan to take care of your children. gayle? >> meg, thank you very much. tomorrow we'll bring you a one-hour special "coronavirus: the race to respond" is what we're calling it. we'll have the latest information about the outbreak, tracking and treatment and what you need to do to protect yourself and your family. that is tomorrow right here on "cbs this morning." the kids have questions. dr. agus has questions. we have questions. >> i have questions as a parent and citizen as well. >> exactly. a new mission to mars could change everything we know about the planet's mysterious past. ahead we go to the jet

ahead in our ahead, we'll introduce you to a small group who made it their mission to return lost medals to their rightful homes. how they're connecting people to forgotten family history. it. >> reporter: here the pastor knows a thing or two about lending a helping hand. coming up on "cbs this morning" how one stranger is helping him discover his past.

neighbor could have supported it. >> mars would be much more earth like. there was much more water. we can tell that fairly clearly. it was water flowing around rivers and lakes. >> it's the question the team will try to answer. >> it's called the spacecraft assembly. >> he's the deputy project scientist for nasa's new rover mission. >> our job like curiosity, was this environment inhabitable? was there water there? how much? what was the chemistry? and then we'll say was there life there. >> there's a fundamental difference between there could have been life and there was life. >> absolutely. it's a big, big jump there. >> if mars hides evidence of past life, his team hopes to find it preserved here. in an ancient river delta at a place called the crater. and the evidence of past

microbial life. and two more missions will be needed to bring those samples back to earth. and that could take ten years. and the first min helicopter on the planet. >> and on a half mile. and if it sounds like just another drone, you tried calculating the interplanetary aeronautics. >> which would be more valuable? the pictures that it takes or

proving it can fly. >> proving that it flies because that's going to give us the solid foundation to build our ultimate dream which is much larger arial vehicles. >> most important is the prospect of discovering ancient signs of life on this now seemingly dead planet. >> mars distant past. how much of a game changer would that be. >> massive implications in my view. every human being in the history of human beings had a thought like what am i doing here? where am i coming from? what's my place in the universe. >> questions now asked about mars on the only known planet with life. for now. for cbs this morning, mark strasman, passadena, california. >> and the rover will attempt to land on mars in february of 2021. it will carry an experiment to demonstrate a way to produce

oxygen on mars that could be huge for future travel there. they want to find out if there was life. if there was, i want to know what happened to it. >> no kidding. he may hold the secrets. i can't wait to see what they find there. and no one asked me. >> want to retire early and really early? ahead, tips on what you should stop wasting money on now if you want to make that happen. that's coming up on cbs this morning.

>> there she is right there in the middle. only on cbs this rning, what this is a kpix 5 news morning update. it is 8:25. as we check the runways right now, you've got brake light working their way out of the east bay this morning. still pretty busy at 880 as well as on highway 4. highway 4 westbound n california avenue, we have reports of an accident blocking at least a number 5 lane, so that the right lane, you've got traffic backing up into the area. looks like leverages a better locator for that. another accident to keep your eyes peeled out for is 24. the left laid is blocked due to this crash and traffic is slow

as you approach the area, and they are still working on an accident on south that 880. two right lanes are blocked. looks like drivetime still about 44 millionths. and in the south bay, south 880 right at that 101 connector, the number two lane blocked for a crash. looks like injuries reported in this one. we are starting off the day with those cloud cover areas of fog indicating changes for us. onshore flow returns today, and it's actually in effect now, and with that, that gray start with our treasure island camera. temperatures are in the 40s and 50s. 56 in san francisco, so as we go through our day, cooler today, even cooler still friday and for the weekend. today, the start of the cooling trend for us. rain chances on saturday, then staying unsettled into early next week. 69 in fremont and concord for a

welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you some of the stories at our "talk of the table." we pick a story we want to share with you at home and with each other. i love that song. >> i do, do. perfect for this storiry. how would you to retire at the age of 35? >> i am a little past that. >> me, too. tony? >> a little past it myself. >> okay. i'm past it, too. i'm sure that's a shock. one man did, steve adcock, he says part of the reason you can't is because you viewers are wasting money on seven pointless things. he is happy to point them out. dining out, upgrading your

phone, splurging on clothing or his top three tips to cut back on spending. hes hes he adds lotto tickets. extended warranties, cable tv, and impulse purchases such as -- >> the cable tv? the sports packages alone. >> impulse purchases like a fancy bike. he says americans normally spend $1,500 a month on those things. that adds up to $9,000 a year on how much money you could save if you did something different. >> i felt like he was walking through my house and pointing at things. >> my name is gayle, i do that, that, that. >> i checked a surprising number of those boxes. >> something to think about, gentlemen. >> not cooking? i am a cook. i am a guy who cooks. >> i am not. >> all right. tony. >> you would be able to retire early if you owned this run down shack in san francisco.

ache take a look. for an incredible sum. that is a 640 square foot home. >> i don't know if i call that a home. >> it's not safe to live in. it's condemned, unfit for human life and it recently sold for nearly $2 million. $2 million. nobody's been there for months. >> you are just buying land. >> yeah. so the median home price in san francisco, a typical home in san francisco costs -- >> wait, was that the actual stucco? >> that was it. it's like a -- it's like they were panning for gold by day and sleeping there at night. i think it's valuable because it's on the top of a beautiful hill. they are going to knock it down and put a luxury apartment building up. >> i hear the neighborhood is nice. >> location, location, location people. >> buying the land. >> here's mine. the new batmobile that will appear to be pictures that are out and suggest it's a throwback. the director of the upcoming movie the batman tweeted the

first photos of the caped crusader's ride, similar to a vintage muscle car. it has an exposed engine in the back. actor robert pattinson stars as the new batman. if you are a batmobile fan, isn't it cool? everybody waits to see what the batmobile is going to be. the first appeared in 1969 in detective comics. they update it every time they reinterpret it. my favorite is the 1966 tv batmobile. i actually had the little toy -- >> adam west? >> yeah, the toy version of it, which i actually owned, still own it, although i have given it to my son. there it is. that was my prize possession. >> my personal batmobile is my first 1977 toyota. >> do they still make toyota celicas? >> yeah, it's out there. >> i know corolla. >> maybe though doney don't mak celica anymore. >> it was the corolla and corona

and celica -- >> corona? anyway. the supreme court is weighing the first major abortion case since president trump appointed two justices. it challenges a louisiana law that requires doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. supporters say it protects patient safety. only one doctor meets that requirement in louisiana. critics believe that makes it more difficult for women to obtain abortions. >> the louisiana attorney general said they, quote, will not waiver in defense of our state's pro-woman and pro-life laws. the governor's office did not return our request for comment. planned parenthood called it unconstitutional for imposing significant burdens on patients seeking abortion care. only on "cbs this morning" we are joined by alexis miguel johnson, acting president and ceo of planned parenthood action fund. she was in court yesterday for the arguments and joins us at

the table. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so i want you to set the scene what it was like to be in court yesterday and based on what you heard did you get a sense of how things are leaning or how it's going to shake out? >> it was awe-inspiring to sit and listen to the justices contemplate whether or not this restriction, which we know is, you know, essentially an attempt to undercut access to abortion. it is exactly the same case that they heard and decided four years ago word for word, and struck down because they believed that the law would limit access to abortion as you indicated before. for me, to be able to be there and to listen largely to the women on the bench, to justices ginsberg and sotomayor and kagan make it plain and practical kind of how the experience of what a woman, the impact of these laws. >> what happens in louisiana if the court upholds this law?

>> so if they uphold the law louisiana will be left with one doctor, one clinic -- >> one doctor in the whole state? >> one doctor, one clinic. >> with those privileges? >> yes, exactly. and over one million women to serve. >> there was a recent poll by kaiser that found a majority of americans, in fact 69%, support the idea of doctors having admitting privileges if they are going to be doing abortions. is this a case where public opinion is out of line with the law? is that how you view it or are you guys out of line with public opinion? >> when you look at 77% of americans believe that rowe should be the law of the land. we know if this is the law of the land, this is our constitutional right, that the law is meaningless if you don't have access to it. with respect to admitting privileges, doctors are credentialed by their medical schools. they are credentialed by the licenses that they get from the states that they practice in. and so, you know, i think a lot of the -- a lot of that polling to me suggests that there has

been a campaign of misinformation, disinformation about around what it means to access abortion. it is one of the safest medical procedures there is, and these are -- >> you would call it safe. some people call it murder. >> well, for the patient, right? i think that's what we're talking about. there are -- and this was brought up yesterday. there are moral arguments with respect to accessing abortion. but it is the law of the land that a woman seeking abortion has the right to have access to one. and so it is incredibly safe. >> connect the dots to the bigger picture what's at stake here when you look at this law and roe v. wade. >> absolutely. here and to the question of what would happen if the law was upheld, you know, there would be floodgates opened up around restrictions to abortion because last year alone we saw 303 restrictions to abortion in 47 states through state legislatures. so we would see a number of bans continue to come in the vain of

admitting privileges. we would see limits to access across the board. we are talking if roe is gutted to the point where it's meaningless or get overturned with the other 17 cases winding their way through the supreme court, 25 million women would lose access to abortion. they would not be able to get access in the state they live in. >> what's your next move if the court upholds this law? >> we have to focus on a state by secretary of statate strateg. we have to educate women. this last year we have seen in particular, we have seen these restrictions. we have been forced out of title ten because of the gag rule. we have seen -- we will have a birth control case coming before the supreme court. and the judiciary right has been fully remade. one in four judges has been appointed by the trump administration. there is one judge in missouri who doesn't believe in ivf. we have been looking at this as a big picture.

obviously, roe is, you know, front and center, but just the -- >> think about this, doesn't believe in ivf? >> right, or abilities to control and make decisions about our own bodies. that's what's at tastake here. we need to educate people and hold people accountable at the ballot box. >> thank you so much for being with us. ahead, how a small group is uncovering the forgotten stories of military members through lost medals and belongings. >> i imagine this part never gets old? >> it doesn't. it's pretty amazing. it's a very intimate connection to somebody. >> it is. i mean, this was a real person. that was a real good thursday morning to you . we start off the day with temperatures in the 40s and in the 50s with patchy fog and clouds to start off everyday indicating changes for us with

delivering an impact. the military as you might know has awarded nearly 2 million purple hearts to americans that shed blood or died in combat. it's estimated that tens of thousands of those medals have lost their way. this group is helping to bring them home. >> what began as a passion project for the army major turned into the creation of purple hearts reunited. a non-profit aimed at returning lost or stolen military medals in effect for veterans and their loved ones at no cost. >> on this day in vermont we unpacked a cardboard box belonging to a soldier that lost his life while serving in the korean war. >> it is a very intimate connection to somebody. >> it is. this was a real person. this was a real hero. he had his whole life ahead of him and unfortunately he's not here to tell the stories. so i think it's our job to tell

the story for him. >> a soldier has the story and every medal has its own journey. and tens of thousands stolen or just forgotten about. >> randomly find them and get them home. >> then look to the medal for other clues. >> they have changed in the way they were manufactured and the time period in how they were engraved. >> and then he and his team of just two begin making cold calls. >> once we identify who the families are, i come down and see dan and we do a full layout. >> dan runs the village frame shop in vermont helping bring the reactions that you see in these pictures to life. >> what's usually the response from the families. >> it brings that family member back in an instant and the raw emotion in their face makes all the time and effort worth bringing these medals home.

>> home on this weekend is salem, alabama to reunite the pastor with the medals his late father earned in the korean war. >> he deserved those medals. he earned them. and i can cherish them and that's part that i can always have him with me. >> sounds like you're doing it for him as much as you are for yourself. >> more so. and it's an act of valor and this was an act of valor. >> and hard work. >> just grate honor. your father was one of our nation's heros. >> he isn't nearly reunited a medal with his family. >> and in their own spiritual

way. >> as we noted purple hearts reunited a small operation with a massive task. they say that they take the burden very seriously. they rely on donations and frankly the donations are going into their pockets and their full time jobs and their families and they wanted to make these returns all across the country. and it's just not sustainable. so they're challenging americans to step up, to donate, to help them help veterans. >> to help with the investigations. >> people are listening. the presentation is so beautiful. >> really well done. >> the look on the ladies face in the hospital bed and to say we have not forgotten them. >> absolutely. >> really, really impressive project. >> it's a lot of work and they need help. >> we can see that. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. on today's cbs this morning
