how citizen soldiers from the national guard are helping to combat the coronavirus. >> but first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> every day when i go to work, i feel like a sheep going to slaughter. >> confirmed coronavirus cases now top 1 million worldwide. >> i know you have seen the slope in the united states versus the slope in italy. and we have to change that slope. >> certain areas of michigan, detroit, looked like it was doing pretty good and then all of a sudden, it went up. >> the nation's top infectious disease expert says the whole country should already be under orders to stay at home. >> if you look at what's going on in this country, i just don't understand why we're not doing that. we really should be. >> another historic surge in unemployment claims. more than 6.6 million people filed for benefits. >> a mind-blowingly horrible, record-breaking number. >> two cruise ships carrying
7:02 am
passengers with flu-like symptoms have been allowed to dock in florida. after coming to an agreement with authorities. >> all that -- >> how is it? >> good? >> this little girl you're about to see is pretending to like something that her mom just cooked and fed her. yeah, okay, mom. >> and all that matters. >> here's something i learned in quarantine. you could save a lot of time and bread if you eat the peanut butter straight out of the jar. hello? is anyone listening to me? you know, i never really knew what loneliness was until i started telling jokes to an empty room. >> on "cbs this morning." >> republican governors in 11 states refuse to issue stay-at-home orders. some republicans are coming around like florida governor ron desantis. he issued a stay-at-home order and explained what changed his mind. >> it's very serious situation. i mean, when you see the president up there. you've seen his demeanor the last couple of days. >> so it wasn't the data or scientists. it was trump's demeanor. how does that work? is he the coronavirus groundhog?
7:03 am
legend says if punxsutawney trump folds his arm and frowns, six more weeks of quarantine. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." it's been a long week. i know we all feel it. i know you feel it, too. but we are really happy to be here coming from our house to yours. out of an abundance of caution as you know. we're coming to you once again this morning from each of our homes. so we may be social distancing, but that will not stop us from bringing you the news. we promise you that. that's where we begin with coronavirus. the scale of the coronavirus crisis is growing dramatically all over the world. there are now more than 1 million reported cases of illnesses. anthony, in nearly one quarter of those cases are here in the united states. >> the numbers continue to surge in hot spots like california, michigan, louisiana, florida and especially, of course, new york. medical resources are stretched
7:04 am
to capacity and beyond. in new york, the navy hospital ship "comfort" was supposed to help relieve that pressure by handling non-coronavirus patients. but as of now, just 20 of its 1,000 beds are being used. we start with our lead national correspondent david begnaud who is at new york's javits convention center which is now a military field hospital. david? >> it was never supposed to be a hospital that accepted covid patients. the idea is this would accept the overflow. yesterday the governor of new york asked the president, mr. president, will you accept covid patients here and let the military run it, and the president said yes. about 25 blocks north of where we are is where the u.s. naval ship "comfort" is docked here in manhattan. one hospital executive told "the new york times" it's absurd that the military would send a big old ship like that and park it here and not accept covid patients. the hospitals are overloaded. the ship has 1,000 beds but only 20 patients.
7:05 am
the question now is, will the governor of new york go back to the president and ask him, will you let that ship start accepting covid patients? >> the things that i see in the e.r. are scary. >> reporter: this is a video diary from dr. matthew bai. in it, he's describing what he says he sees every day at mt. sinai hospital in queens. you can see all the rooms are filled. usually these halls are very neat and empty. you can see there's patients everywhere because of this. >> reporter: some nurses in the bronx took to the streets thursday to protest the lack of personal protective equipment. >> every day when i go to work, i feel like a sheep going to slaughter. >> reporter: new york is one of several states where the governor continues to say they are low on ventilators. >> at the current burn rate, we have about six days of ventilators in our stockpile. >> reporter: take louisiana. they requested 14,000 ventilators. but they have received fewer than 500 from the federal
7:06 am
government. an admiral who is leading fema's supply chain task force confirmed federal supplies are not going directly to the states. they are going to a middle man distributor and governors say that's when they're forced to bid against each other for the equipment. >> we have not gotten a line on any additional ventilators. >> reporter: in richmond, virginia, 16 people have died at a rehab facility where more than 100 residents there tested positive. >> despite the best efforts of the medical staff, we're still seeing really significant spread. >> reporter: in new jersey, nearly 1 in 3 of the long-term care facilities have at least one positive case. this crisis has hit very close to home for daniel dromm. a member of the new york city council. five of his friends have died from the virus so far. >> whenever somebody goes into the hospital, my thinking is, will i ever see them again? will they ever come out?
7:07 am
>> reporter: the mayors of new york and los angeles are now asking their residents to wear masks. scarves. anything they have to cover their faces. and we're waiting to see if the president and the cdc may issue that same guidance today. tony, here in new york state, the need for personal protective equipment is still so real that yesterday the governor posted a tweet saying if you can manufacture ppe, i implore you to do so. we will pay you a premium and please email us at this address. that's the state of where things are right now. >> it says a lot there, david begnaud, for us in new york. public health officials tell us the way new york is going now could come to the rest of the country. but there's a patchwork of stay-at-home orders and directives all around this nation that have created dramatic differences in the way we live and the way we travel. "the new york times" made this map using anonymous cell phone data. the red areas show states where travel patterns are normal or close to normal. take a look at the northeast and
7:08 am
parts of the midwest. there's little or no travel in states that imposed very strict stay-at-home orders. ed o'keefe is in washington where he typically covers politics, not pandemics, but these days there's some overlap between the two. ed, good morning. what do you make of this contrast? >> well, look, president trump isn't issuing a national stay-at-home order saying that each state should act on its own. but that isn't stopping some local officials from pushing for more. >> this will go down in history as our profound failure of our national government. >> reporter: governors like illinois' jb pritzker want a national stay at home order. >> we've nearly exhausted every avenue available. >> reporter: the calls are coming despite the constitution leaving most health and public safety concerns to state and local officials. >> the tension between federally mandated versus states rights to do what they want is something i don't want to get into. >> reporter: even dr. anthony
7:09 am
fauci agreed there should be a national order. >> if you look at what's going on in this country, i don't understand why we're not doing that. >> reporter: 40 states and the district of columbia have issued some kind of stay-at-home order over the past month. despite information as far back as february about patients being asymptomatic, the governor of georgia waited until wednesday to issue his statewide order. >> individuals can be infected and begin to spread coronavirus earlier than previously thought. even if they have no symptoms. from a public health standpoint, this is a revelation. >> reporter: this week, texas governor greg abbott ordered schools closed through may 4th and said only essential services can remain open. but he insisted -- >> this is not a stay-at-home strategy. >> reporter: local officials like dallas county leader clay jenkins say abbott should have acted sooner. he issued a countywide order back on march 22nd. >> why did you decide to do it? >> you have to follow the science in situations like this. and the hospitals and doctors
7:10 am
uniformally told me that safer at home would save lives. >> reporter: and mark dewine has earned prize for acting quickly. >> you seemed insistent from the start that there was a real genuine public health and safety concern. >> everything i was told by the experts was that you have to act early. and that even waiting a week or two weeks before you act really sets you way, way back and increases the number of deaths. >> reporter: all of these stay-at-home orders are, of course, causing the rescheduling of events, even in campaign politics. the democratic party now says that its convention to nominate someone to take on president trump will be held in mid-august in milwaukee. gayle? >> that's interesting. ed, may i just say it's very good to see you. thank you, sir. the fda authorized the first blood test for the coronavirus. it could identify people who have been exposed to the virus even those who did not show any
7:11 am
symptoms. our dr. david agus joins us from los angeles with more on this story. what does this blood test detect and how is it different from the available tests we have on the market now? >> the current tests look, if you have the virus. they look for the rna of the virus and say whether it's there. this looks at immunity. by taking a drop of blood they can know whether you've been exposed to the virus. symptomatic or asymptomatic, which is critical because it means you can no longer get the virus, at least in the short term. in countries like england and germany they're talking about giving out immunity certificates because those people can leave their home and maybe get their economy started. >> so how will people get the test, though, david? we keep hearing you are at ribi risk for infection by going to a medical facility. >> you hit the key question. this test will initially be at medical facilities because you have to draw blood. the white house has said repeatedly that their hope is it can be a finger prick where you
7:12 am
can just put a dot on a piece of paper and mail it in and have a result right away. so it takes about 15 minutes to run this test. so the hope is we're going to transition to doing this in other places other than the medical system. but right now it's confined to the doctor's office. pretty soon every time you go to the doctor's office they'll check to see if you have immunity or not. >> and you think this test is important in fighting the virus, why? >> i think it's critical. we have to say who has been exposed and not because they'll be treated differently. and they can actually be on our front lines. they can't get infected again. they can be our ambulance drivers, people working in the emergency room, people working at cash registers. and at the same time, we can use it to develop vaccines. this is the same test to say, are vaccines working? are we giving immunity by giving someone a vaccine to this deadly virus? >> david, can we please talk about the mask situation. i think it is so confusing.
7:13 am
the beginning we were told you don't really need to wear a mask if you are a healthy person walking around but a person who is infected should. the white house is signaling they're going to encourage all of us to wear a mask or some kind of face covering. in los angeles and the city of new york, they are already telling us we should. why is this changing now? >> well, it's our understanding of the virus. when you are asymptomatic or presymptomatic, you can spread the virus. the days before you get symptoms you can spread the virus. and also people never have symptoms. those people from the droplets in their mouth when they breathe or cough can spread the virus. so the mandating of the masks, i think, makes total sense across the country. and what it does, it protects other people. so you won't spread the virus. even if you don't know you have it. so all of us should wear a covering when we go out. can be a bandanna. doesn't have to be an n95 mask, and it shouldn't be. it should just be a covering. >> please let people know that people who are wearing ban dans are not up to no good now.
7:14 am
it's really a safety issue. when i heard yesterday for the first time that now you can get it, it can be spread by talking or breathing i went, huh? the coronavirus seems to be such a moving target with the rules always seeming to change. >> yeah, i mean, we're learning as we go because this is a totally new virus. but when you breathe on a mirror, those droplets, that's what they are, the fog on the mirror, you have to block them. so wearing something when you go out is a sign of respect for others. and i think critically important in stopping the virus. >> all right. dr. agus, thank you very much. tony? >> all right, gayle, thank you very much. we want to give people an update on the hundreds of passengers from two holland america cruise ships with confirmed coronavirus cases. they are flying home without being quarantined in the united states. now they do not have symptoms. the "rotter dam" and "zaandam" docked at port everglades, florida, yesterday after weeks at sea.
7:15 am
the "zaandam" had been denied entry to several countries. nine people tested positive for coronavirus and four people have died. as manuel bojorquez reports, there are some worries some people may be going home as silent carriers. >> it's going to be a very controlled exit. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis applauded local and federal officials for finalizing what he called a thoughtful plan. more than a dozen passengers who needed immediate medical assistance were already transferred to nearby hospitals. passengers on board both ships received health screenings yesterday. those cleared for travel would be taken by private bus to charter planes over the next few days. some local officials say this was the best possible outcome. >> how do you allow the ship to come in without affecting our community? i think the deal today that we struck was a win-win. >> reporter: broward county commissioner mark bogen advocated for a 14-day quarantine at a local air force base, but that fell through. >> do you feel comfortable with
7:16 am
the way the situation has been handled right now? >> absolutely not. i really have a lack of trust in what the cruise line was telling us. >> reporter: another ship, the "coral princess" plans to arrive on saturday. in a statement, princess cruises said 12 people on board tested positive for covid-19. commissioner bogen says they may need to go elsewhere. >> we just cannot have more people with our medical system. we don't have capacity. >> reporter: and capacity is part of the reason some passengers will stay on the "zaandam." those who are sick but not critically ill will receive treatment there. and the cruise line says many passengers going home have been self-quarantined in their state rooms since march 22nd. both holland america and princess cruises say they are complying with cdc guidelines for offloading those passengers. anthony? >> manuel, thank you. the latest unemployment numbers show just how hard the economy has been hit by the
7:17 am
coronavirus. the 6.6 million americans who filed for jobless benefits last week is at least 20 times what we normally see. food banks and other resources are being pushed to their limits by people in need. >> my bills are going to back up and i'm going to be in trouble here in a couple of weeks. >> i've got to pay my rent, my gas for my car. normally it's hard, but now it's totally hard. >> we have a food connection hotline that gets 180 calls a day. right now we're getting more than 1,000 calls a day. >> i don't personally see a situation where i'm back behind the bar full time in full swing until maybe early october. >> weijia jiang is at the white house as a $350 billion small business lending program begins this morning. weijia, what's the president have to say about the job losses so far? >> good morning, anthony. president trump described those numbers as terrible, but then
7:18 am
claimed we don't have a massive recession because the economic downturn is artificial. but the pain is very real for nearly 10 million americans who have filed for unemployment climbs in the last two weeks alone. treasury secretary steve mnuchin said stimulus checks will start being sent out in about two weeks. and he pushed back against allegations that some may have to wait up to five months if they don't have direct deposit saying the irs is working on a portal for people to enter their banking information allowing them to get their checks in a matter of weeks. mnuchin also said the small business lending program will be running today, even as some major banks said they are not ready. one of the country's largest, jpmorgan chase, emailed their customers saying that they will likely not be able to start accepting applications today as they had hoped. gayle? >> weijia, thank you very much. thousands of national guard troops are now deployed in all

the coronavirus pandemic is hitting farmers hard. some dairy farmers are being forced to dump their milk instead of selling it because there's little demand with restaurants and schools closed. other farmers are struggling to harvest their crops which could affect what you'll see at the grocery store. foreign labor, mostly migrant workers, filled more than a quarter million jobs in the u.s. last year. as mark strassmann reports, harvest season is here, but there are not enough workers. >> reporter: you're looking at one of georgia's biggest farms. 7,000 acres. more than a dozens crops that help feed america. in this cabbage field, we found farmer bill brim walking with his worries. >> this coronavirus has got everybody so stirred up. >> reporter: does it keep you up at night? >> oh, yeah. i sleep about 2.5, 3 hours a
7:40 am
night. >> reporter: seasonal foreign labor mainly from mexico, always harvest brim's crops. this spring he could be 200 workers short. the coronavirus crisis has delayed the u.s. government's processing of their work visas. bill brim's facing a series of harvest deadlines. first one is april 15th. and these fields of squash. may 1st, it's cucumbers and so on. and he'd better have his pickers in place. >> when we start harvesting squash, we've got just days to pick it. if our workers don't show up on time, then we're going to be in real trouble. >> reporter: it's not one of those things where you say i can get to it next week. >> no, no, no, sir. i wish we could. >> reporter: 70 miles away, jeremy white is in bigger trouble. his blueberry crop is days away from harvest. he needs 100 pickers and packers. but they're stuck in guatemala where the borders are sealed because of the virus.

it's frida very happy about that. april 3rd, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." relentless rise reported coronavirus cases top 1 million worldwide. cases in the u.s. have nearly tripled in a week. what the white house may suggest next. >> healthy minds, how we can keep our psychological immune systems strong as the crisis wears on. and lives to remember. we'll celebrate some of the remarkable people who were lost to the pandemic. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00.
8:01 am
the scale of the coronavirus crisis is growing dramatically. there are now more than 1 million reported cases of illnesses. >> the governor of new york asked the president will you accept covid-19 cases here and let the military run it? the president said yes. >> the president says each state should act on its own, but that's not stopping some local officials for pushing for more. >> this looks at immunity. by taking a drop of blood, they can see if you've been exposed to the virus. >> those who are sick but not critically ill will receive treatment there. >> president trump described the numbers as terrible but then claimed we don't have a massive recession because the economic downturn is artificial. wisconsin democrat tony e verts refused to postpone wisconsin's election despite the fact that more than 100
8:02 am
municipalities will not have enough poll workers. bernie sanders said people should not be forced to put their lives on the line to vote. polling places should not be dangerous. we remember what happened when alabama replaced their workers with tigers in 2002. welcome back to "cbs this morning" on this friday. sure seems like it's been a very, very long week. we're coming to you from each of our homes because like you, we are practicing social distancing out of abundance of caution. this is where we stand. this is where we begin. there are now more than 1 million reported coronavirus cases around the world. more than 245,000 are right here in the united states. and that's nearly one quarter of all cases. as of this morning, america's death toll has risen past 6,000. and that's an increase of about 365% since this time last week. anthony c those numbers keep climbing. >> the white house could give
8:03 am
new guidelines today about wearing masks when we leave our homes. at yesterday's briefing president trump suggested other face coverings could be used so protective masks can go to health care workers. if people wanted to wear them, they can. if people wanted to use scarves which they have, many people have them, they can. now, a recommendation is coming out. we'll see what the recommendation is. >> sources tell cbs news suggestions will be announced but there won't be a requirement to cover our faces. >> we'll be ready in the dokoupil household. special shoutout to my aunt to made them. we got them in the mail and we'll be ready. nearly half the americans believe the coronavirus pandemic is affecting their mental health. 19 % say it's having a major impact. we are joined from cleveland to answer questions about the and
8:04 am
mental health. lisa, good morning. let's begin with the most common mental health challenge out there, and that is americans facing depression. if you are on instagram, what advice do you have for people who are right now alone as they shelter in place and suffering from long-term depression? >> good morning. i'm so glad that we're answering these questions. so when we think about depression, the first thing we need to remember is that this is a treatable mental illness. what people may not know is they can get treatment right now even under stay at home conditions. typically telehealth is something that requires a special license. something that where if you're going to work with people digitally. under the current conditions, those regulations have been relaxed. states and insurance companies are working to make sure that people can get mental health care. so if you or someone you love needs to work with somebody for support, reach out through your normal referral channels, maybe your general practitioner or
8:05 am
employer. find yourself a good mental health worker and start working with them now from home, and then you can follow up with them in person when things return to normal. the other thing i would say right now is that we need to be really careful about how we are coping with this. whether we have mental health concerns prior to this or not. we want to watch out for negative coping strategies. so any coping strategy offers relief, but negative coping strategies don't work well over the long run. don't allow yourself to emotionally isolate. don't count on substances to manage ard feelings. don't let yourself fall into bad habits about not sleeping enough or becoming sedentary. instead, we want to turn to positive coping strategies. reach out to other people. use happy distractions to manage emotional discomfort. find yourself ways to make sure you're getting enough exercise and getting outdoors when you can. those positive coping strategies
8:06 am
will make a huge difference. >> lisa, we've also got a question on facebook from remly who regularly uses meditation. she feels her skills are no longer useful. she asks what can i do to get this in check? >> everyone's anxiety is a little heightened right now. that's a normal reaction. i don't want people to feel anxious. that's proent right now. but if you feel like your normal strategies for regulating your anxiety are not working well, i would say it's time to up your breathing game. and here's what i mean. when we are highly anxious, our brain sends a message to our heart and lungs to speed activity. and this is actually rooted in the ancient fight or flight system. it's physically uncomfortable. that's what we experience as uncomfortable anxiety. it turns out that our lungs can actually send a message back to our brain. our lungs are covered with a
8:07 am
network of nerves that detect the activity of the brian, of the lungs. of how quickly and deeply we are breathing. so if you deliberately slow and deepen your breathing, it actually speaks to those nerves, the stretch rescepters on your lungs, and sends a reassuring message back up to the brain to sort of calm the anxiety response. so i know it can seem like everybody talks about breathing and maybe it seems small or not a big intervention, but, in fact, careful and slow and deep breathing can significantly reduce anxiety. >> yeah. lisa, that's great advice. sometimes the simple things are the most powerful things. i want to sneak in one more question from a viewer named carol who asked something that i think many of us are thinking about as we look ahead to a time when this virus is gone and we can get back to something like normal. her question is whether she ever enjoy being around strangers again, and not feel threatened? >> this is an interesting one.
8:08 am
because under normal conditions the rule is that avoidance feeds anxiety. if you have a fear, you have to face it to get past it. right now the guidance is avoid everyone and everything. that's the right, healthy, safe thing, to stay home and be cautious about going out. when things go back to normal, there may be some people who feel frightened about returning to life as it was before. and that will be the time for them to face their fears. the good news here is they don't have to do it all at once. they can do it in baby steps. >> baby steps. a lot of us are doing baby steps these days. sue from facebook says her family is starting to get agitated with one another and wants to know when will the bickering be over? what solutions can you recommend about that for families to get along, and there's an article in usa today where it says yelling and spanking is up in homes these days. can you address those? >> sure. we're all in close quarters and people are getting on one
8:09 am
another's nerves. if you can find space to take a break, do it. we have to remember that when it comes to bickering, it takes two to bicker. just because somebody tosses something at you, don't mean you have to catch it. you can refuse to engage or say start again. families with kids, they may see a lot of bickering. kids have a lot of time on their hands, and sometimes siblings manage their boredom by starting something. i would call it on the carpet and say look, you might be bored, but antagonizing your sister is not the solution to that problem. go find something else to do. >> i think that's a great piece of advice to end on. i would add that if you're one of the americans still lucky enough to have a job and you're trying to do it from job, a little forgiveness. you're not going to be as productive, as efficient as capable as you might have been when you were going to an office. everything is disrupted. just forgive yourself. lisa, thank you very much.

8:32 am
ago now but prior to the virus outbreak, i had been covering various aspects of american life that jumped in price and college education was one of them. they. we know some of the families who are sending students here are not in the same situation we're going to do our part. i hope other universities do the same thing. it can be a kind of knock on stimulus in addition to what the federal government and congress are doing. gayle? >> bravo. special mommy hug to dupaul. my story is about twins. coronavirus and covid-19 strikes fear in people. a woman in india gave birth to twins. a boy and a girl. she and her husband named the little girl corona and named the

little boy. >> please don't say it's virus. >> covid. >> i know, anthony. i was thinking it was virus, too. no, they named the little boy covid. i thought it was going to be virus. >> yes. the woman said she wanted to ease the anxiety and the fear associated with the words. she also said she wanted to make the occasion memorable. she said she wanted the names to symbolize triumph over hardships. i can't wait to corona and covid grow up. i wonder if they'll be thinking about the same. we'll see how this turns out. >> yeah. i'll be interested to see how covid plays in school. 48 hours investigates a shocking crime inside a florida millionaire's home. sue was rushed to a hospital in the middle of the night in 2018
8:34 am
with severe stab wounds. her husband, a wealthy businessman, said it was a home invasion that when sue woke up from surgery, she told a completely different story. peter reports for this week's "48 hours." >> caller: my wife and i have -- >> i was called at approximately 4:00 in the morning on february 3rd, 2018. the county sheriff's department said the call was about a home invasion. the alleged crime happened in the home of a millionaire businessman and his wife sue. that is mike on the police dash cam. >> you woke up? and a tall figure was fighting with you? >> i've been advised that the wife has severe injuries and currently being trauma alerted to the area hospital. >> sue had been stabbed in her
8:35 am
neck, stomach, and wrist but somehow she survived. >> susan died. the truth would die with her. >> the prosecutor. >> when she comes out of surgery, she tells investigators there is no intruder and that the person who inflicted all of the injuries that he is suffering from is michael richelle. >> mike, who had mostly minor injuries was arrested and charged with attempted murder. the motive? prosecutors say sue told mike she wanted a divorce. >> when he was faced with the prospect he would have to give her half the fortune, he made a calculated and premeditated decision to kill. >> and he just hopped on top of me and i felt like this pressure right here. >> all of a sudden i saw a knife. i said "oh my god, did you stab me?" he said yes. >> mike claims sue was the real aggressor that night.
8:36 am
>> her hand comes out. >> there was anything in her hand? >> yeah, a knife. >> mike's daughter believes her father. >> there's no way on god's green earth my father would stab anyone. >> mike and his defense claim sue was an abusive wife who was often in conflict with mike over caroline. and caroline's expensive wedding only made things worse. >> never in one million years would i think that my wedding would be the catalyst of all of this. >> peter joins us with more on the story. it's good to see you. so mike and sue were both stabbed at night. where were their injuries so different? >> sue's were far more profound. she ended up in surgery. they were considered life threatening. i've seen the pictures of each of her wounds up here by the
8:37 am
neck and the stomach and particularly on the wrist. mike said those were self-inflicted. on his side of the ledger during the course of the struggle, he has super official cuts. he went to the hospital and went home that night. sue by far got the worst of this. >> i'm curious about the daughter's wedding. why did that create conflict in miss marriage? >> well, because the wedding was held in long island. a beautiful, beautiful place. it's like a french chaetu. there's talk her wedding went over $100,000 budget and mike's wife, sue, not caroline's mother was outraged and it created great friction between mike and sue. >> that's a big over budget.

of you. you said it's actually a love song. i get that but you explain how it's a love song. >> on my end i wrote it for my wife saying i never want to mess up. i never want to have to tell you sorry again. so any time we ever fight, you know, we play the song and listen to it. and, you know, just helps us. >> i think kaitlyn is a lucky girl but i'm fascinated by you, kaine brown. listen, amazon has a great documentary about you. about selling out at the staples center. you take us behind the scenes because you're one of the few country artists, i think it's ten, you might be 11 who sold sold out on your own on stage and to see that crowd cheering for you and singing your songs. take me to the moment and what
8:46 am
it means and what it meant to you. >> it meant the world to me. it didn't really hit me until i walked on stage. and then i remember the song took over and i remember saying we sold out the staples center. but it was amazing for us because it was our -- we had to cancel the show because our drummer passed away. it was our first show playing again. for us it was amazing. we said this is for kenny and i felt he was there. so i think that was the most exciting part. not only is staples center iconic but the other ten country artists are carrie underwood, s ga garth brooks, they're legends. it's amazing to be a part of that community. >> i love your speaking voice and singing voice. anthony, you have anything for kaine? >> the acm awards have been
