7:18 am
out. >> yes. would you call that yesterday, would you call that a full-throated endorsement what we heard? >> absolutely. they are confined to doing what you and i do. sitting here in our own homes and talking to each other. that may be what campaign 2020 looks like between now and november. we'll see. but absolutely designed to be an explicit endorsement and remove any doubt that sanders is now backing his friend joe biden. >> all right. party unity as tony said coming early. and now we have conventions coming up, too. we shall see. thank you, ed o'keefe. really good to see you. the coronavirus has led to a new era of surveillance as some governments now track citizens to slow the spread. ahead, we'll show you what this could mean for your privacy. ♪

it's ' it's tuesday, april 14, 2020, welcome back to "cbs this morning". i'm gayle king with it ctony dokoupil and anthony mason. the president claims total authority over reopening the country. we talk to new york governor andrew cuomo. rita wilson speaks for the first time about surviving the coronavirus with her husband, you know him, tom hanks. live from his nest, big bird has a message for kids during this tough time. >> ed: knows lots of stuff! but first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00.
8:01 am
an all-out effort by president trump to rewrite the administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak. the lights were dimmed and a video was played, criticizing the media and praising the president's response. the governor said that coronavirus has not overwhelmed the hospital systems but i'll tell you, 2,000 people are still entering the hospitals here in new york state every day with coronavirus symptoms. the storm blew through, you can see the destruction. cars are mangled in the trees back there and across the street, the rest of the house blown away. to put this into perspective, sanders' endorsement comes three months earlier than the one he gave hillary clinton four years ago and gives biden about 200 days now to take on president trump. sanders said that while he and biden have real differences, he will do everything he can to help joe win the election. >> i'm asking every democrat, i'm asking every independent, i'm asking a lot of republicans to come together in this

campaign to support your candidacy to endorse. >> all right, thank you very much. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." we are following guidelines to stay home as much as possible, and we certainly hope you are doing that, too. listen, guys, i haven't left the house in over ten days. i don't know about you, i'm not complaining, because i'm delighted to be here, but sometimes it's a little overwhelming. when's the last time either of you have left the house? >> i got to take the trash out on sunday, and it was a very exciting moment for me. i spent a couple hours picking out my outfit, getting the jacket on, gloves, did they match the jacket and finally made it to the curb and it was thrilling, i got to tell you. >> ha, ha. >> you did so well. >> i'm going to go out and get -- yep. i was going to say i'm like that grandmarx i've got hav
8:03 am
grandma, i have to go out and get beer every week, gayle. >> maybe coors will deliver. >> truly have no complaints, coors will definitely deliver. and we begin of course with the coronavirus pandemic. it's the thing we are all talking about 24/7 and now back to the numbers, and they're not good. americans have now died of the coronavirus in all 50 states, after wyoming reported its first death yesterday. officials say that the victim was an older man who had underlying conditions who had been hospitalized before he died late last week. as of this morning, there are more than 23,000 reported deaths in this country, and that's more than double where we were just last week, anthony. at the white house, president trump made this stunning claim that only he has the power to reopen the country, not individual state governors. >> when somebody's the president of the united states, the authority is total, and that's the way it's got to be. >> total?
8:04 am
>> total. it's total. and the governors know that. you have a couple of bands of democrat governors, but they will agree to it. they will agree to it. >> the president's remarks come as new york governor democratic governor andrew cuomo teams up with other eastern governors to coordinate the reopening of the region and its economy. the group includes new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, connecticut, massachusetts, delaware and rhode island, and the governor of new york, andrew cuomo joins us from albany. governor, good morning. >> good to be with you. good morning. >> so we just heard president trump say that it's his call when states reopen but we know, in fact, this falls to governors. let's talk about what you're doing with this coalition. i know you're not going into it blind. talk to us if you could about the benchmarks that new york state and yourself have to see met before we all go back to work and get on with our lives. >> my pleasure. first, as you alluded to, the
8:05 am
president's position is just absurd. it's not the law. it's not the constitution. we don't have a king. we have a president. and entering this reopening phase, if you will, is very, very important. we've never been here before. no one has gone through this. we need a public health strategy, and an economic strategy. they have to work together, and we have to take one step at a time. we've said we want to do it as a region, because that's how this virus acts, frankly. it doesn't stop at a state border, and to come back from this, we should do it regionally and share information. nobody knows everything here. so work with new jersey. work with connecticut. work with massachusetts, delaware, rhode island. let's put the best minds around the table, come up with a regional strategy and as we start to move forward and reopen the economy gradually, have more testing so we can see where we're going, and then watch that meter, that measures the number of virus infections spread.
8:06 am
every day, you tell me the behavior of people today, i will tell you the hospitalization rate in two days. >> and governor, i appreciate that this is uncharted territory, that's absolutely correct. you went over some of the benchmark there is. from a timing perspective i'm sure even in your own budget prongs s projections, you have to have an idea when new york state might be back to something like normal. talk to us when this reopening could happen. do you personally plan on going to a mets game this summer? i know you're a fan. >> first, on sports, i would like to start watching sports. you know, whether or not we sit in the stadium with thousands of others, i don't know that that is in the short-term foreseeable future, but i don't know why we can't be watching it on television. why can't you have sports games with no audiences, and just to start the sports and the entertainment, so people have something o watch and follow.
8:07 am
but you're talking months of re-entry. you're talking of phased re-entry. there is no clear benchmark that you can set. obviously everybody wants to do it tomorrow, asap, but as you have to calibrate it by watching the spread of the virus, so start opening the valve of people coming back out and economic activity, but while you're opening the valve, watch the numbers every day of the spread of the virus. you've seen countries reopen too aggressively. the virus came back. they had to close again. we don't want to make that mistake. >> yeah, you're very big on watching the valve. but governor, i have to say, when i saw your news conference yesterday with fellow governors my first thought was rut-roh, the white house is not going to like this. did you give them the heads up that you all were planning that? >> we were, governors who were part of it had the conversation with the white house.
8:08 am
it's not partpartisan, gayle. the state of massachusetts is part of it, that's a republican governor. this is just common sense. it's just common sense. and it's not -- >> no, i never thought that it was partisan, i never thought that, but i just thought the white house has made it clear who he believes is the leader. you're saying we don't have a king here. do you have to work with the white house in terms of how you're going to reopen? because he seems to believe that you do. >> yes, gayle, first, this is a total reversal of the president's first position, right. he has total authority to open up the economy. then why didn't he have authority to close the economy? why did he leave it to the states and to the governors to close it down? why did he take the position that well it's up to the states to buy medical equipment, et cetera. it's not my responsibility. it's all the states. this is a total 180. all of a sudden, he's in charge of reopening? by the way, if he wants to do more on the reopening, god bless. i mean, nobody -- this is a
8:09 am
daunting task for anyone. you want to figure out how to do widespread testing, which the federal government should, do it. but it has to be cooperative, and it has to be mutual, and i understand this is a hyper partisan environment and the president is running for re-election. i don't care. i am going to work with the federal government, whoever it is, hand in hand, because that's in the best interests of the people of my state, and nobody can do this alone, because nobody's done it before. >> governor, as we consider the variables necessary to reopen the economy here in new york, i think it's worth looking back at the conditions that led to the closure in the first place. on march 2nd, you were on this program and you urged calm. there was one case at the time, and zero fatalities. by the end of the month there were a thousand, 60,000 cases and a thousand fatalities, but the closure of essential businesses didn't come until the 22nd of march, quite late in the
8:10 am
scheme of things. looking back, do you wish you had closed things down sooner? do you have regrets and would that have lowered the death toll? >> yes, i think it's the exact opposite factually. i don't think you'll find another state that moved faster than new york. just look at the dates you did, from march 1st to let's call it march 20th, we went from basically one or two cases to total closure in like 19 days. think about that. you close -- total closure in 19 days, schools closed, businesses closed, only essential workers. that -- nobody moved that fast, and in that process -- >> but governor the question -- >> -- we communicated with the people of new york. go ahead. >> i was going to say, the question is not whether you moved swiftly, just in your mind, i know this weighs heavily on your conscience, do you wish
8:11 am
in retrospect with hindsight being 20/20 that you had closed things down sooner? former cdc director tom frieden said 80% reduction in fatalities if the closure had come a week or two earlier. i'm asking you for a bit of reflection. >> yes, first of all who knows if he's right or he's wrong, right? monday morning quarterbacking is a little premature especially when the game is still being played but i think does everybody, if you could replay the tape, yeah, i want to know where we were in december as a nation, where were we in january as a nation? where were we when we saw these cases in china developing, didn't we think somebody would get on a plane in china and bring it here? that's january, that's february. that's march. that's this nation, that's this white house, that's every state. so yeah, if you could replay the tape, everybody would do it differently, every public health expert, every editorial board, every media outlet, every government official would do it

oop! you look cute. better than you! wherever drama pops off pop my 100% all-white-meat classic or spicy popcorn chicken combo for just $5.99. former secretary of state madeleine albright says countries must work together in order to stop the coronavirus. first woman to lead the state department says working separately will only do more damage. in her new book, "hell and other destinations" she writes about her whirlwind career and why retirement has never been an option. she joins from us her home in washington, d.c. madam secretary, thanks for
8:19 am
being with us. >> great to be with you. thank you. >> you wrote in an op-ed piece in "time" magazine that the world needs a coordinated decisive response to the virus. but we're having trouble getting states to -- they are competing just to buy medical supplies with each other. how do we create a global coordinated response to this? >> well, i think it's absolutely essential because the virus knows no boundaries, and it's not easy. i think that as i write in my book i talk a little bit about world war ii and what happened afterwards and i think we need to figure out a way to strengthen our international system. i know there are people who don't like the word globalization. it's not a four letter word. i think what we need to do is figure out how we can help each other because as i said the virus doesn't know borders. and i've talked about the fact
8:20 am
that people and institutions in the '70s need a little refurbishing and the u.n. is at its 75th anniversary and we need to be supportive of it and get our act together. what i find interesting is that there's stories today actually about the international monetary fund and the world bank talking about how they can be helpful in other countries because that is the place that is now in many ways under the most threat because they don't have the systems to deal with this. and so i think we have to work with each other and not see things as zero sum games. >> you write in the book that still almost every day you imagine yourself in your successor's shoes as head of the state department. if you were mike pompeo today, what would you be doing? >> well, i would remember that the main job of the secretary of state is diplomacy. that diplomacy requires you to put yourself into the other
8:21 am
country's shoes and the other people's shoes, and try to find some kind of compromise solutions. i am hoping very much that we're not quite clear how much he is traveling or what he's doing, but i do think that is the main job of secretary of state. and then i have to say i'm deeply troubled by the kind of things i've been hearing that have been going on in the state department because you can't do diplomacy without diplomats, and the people in the department, i found to be very smart, very dedicated, and i'm very troubled that we're not really keeping a lot of them and defending them, frankly. so that's what i would be doing. >> do you think there's any security risk to re-opening the country before we really get a handle on the crisis? >> well, i do think that from everything that i've seen is clearly the sheltering and the
8:22 am
lack of contact, social distancing in the united states has made a difference. and i think that we shouldn't really be overly eager to open up again until we know or are clear about what the whole testing issue is and how we are working together and i do know that there are arguments going on at the moment about who is really in charge. you really need, especially when you have a variety of issues on health programs and on helping small businesses, the central government, our government does have a role. there's no question about it. but i think we need to also understand those that are closer to the people, the governors and the mayors and to really coordinate. i have several mottos. i mean i believe in resiliency. i believe in optimism. i believe in working together. and that's what we have to be doing as we move forward. >> all right, madam secretary,
8:23 am

8:30 am
welcome back to "cbs this morning". it's time to bring you some of the stories that we call talk of the table this morning. and we're all coming to you from our respective homes so we're going share our story from our respective homes. we each get to share something we like. tony you're up first. >> so at 39 i am an elder millennial just barely in the generation, some would say, i'm out of the generation. i want to talk a little bit about what millennials in particular are facing right now with this pandemic and the economic fallout. i mean some people are calling them the new lost generation because of the economic downturn that they are face right at this moment. there's a new report that looks the at the staggering financial
8:31 am
impact of the coronavirus on this generation in particular, the millennial generation. found 52% of people under the age of 45 have lost a job, been put on leave or have their hours reduced because of the pandemic. that's compared to 26% of people 45 and over. report is by data for progress a think tank that helps support progressive causes. the fact remain and stand on their own. this is a generation that is facing their second once in a lifetime economic downturn in just a matter of ten years. there was the aggravate recession which hammered millennials and now massive layoffs in their age group with the pandemic, economic fallout and the question arises, how are they ever going to achieve that american dream we all think of which is earning at least the livelihood that your parents earned and your grandparents and hopefully more so your kids can do better. all of that is in jeopardy so
8:32 am
thinking about that this morning. guys. >> yes. seniority a factor in them being more vulnerable particularly at this moment. i've got a story that i really love. it's about an alabama man who had a sweet surprise for his daughter after her high school prom was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. he left a note for her on the staircase that read today is prom. one dance with dad? will you go with me? >> that morning she put on her white he is quinn dance and shared an emotional father-daughter dance. she said it is something she will never forget. we talked about this a lot. so many people sent home from school because of the virus they are missing graduations, missing programs, you know, they are missing their last senior game in whatever sport they played. it's a big loss. anything a family can do make it up for their kids is significant and that's why i was touched by what that dad did.
8:33 am
gayle? >> me too. because it is one of those live time life milestones. that's why what a great dad she has that he would point that out. i love that story. my talk of the table is about rita wilson who you all know is married to tom thanks. i say that tom hanks is a lucky guy. they were one of the first two celebrities to disclose they had the coronavirus. over the weekend we saw tom thanks return to tv after his recovery. he guest hosted "saturday night live" from the kitchen. said we all need to laugh at this time. he's right. in our first interview since her diagnosis rita told us, we talked to her yesterday that she's feeling great and giving back. she's teaming up with naughty by nature to remix their hit song, hip-hop hooray. proceeds will help musicians affected by the pandemic. wilson told bus the story behind the mix. her journey to recovery.
8:34 am
and her symptoms when she first got sick. >> i was very tired. i felt extremely achy. uncomfortable. didn't want to be touched. and then the fingers started. chills like i never had before. looking back i realized i was losing my sense of taste and smell which i didn't realize at the time. >> how high was your fever? >> i think it got close to 102 by day nine. they gave me chloroquine. i know people have been talking about this drug. i can only tell you that i don't know if the drug worked or it was just time for the fever to break. my fever did break but the chloroquine had such extreme side effects. i was completely nauseous and i had vertigo. i could not walk. my muscles felt very weak. i think people have to be very
8:35 am
considerate of that drug. we don't know if it's helpful. >> did tom have similar symptoms to you? were your symptoms different? >> he had milder symptoms. he didn't have as high a fever, he didn't lose his sense of taste or smell but still took us the same time to get through it. >> do you think you gave it to him or he gave it to you or do you know how either of you got it? >> it was somebody they said that tom and i were both exposed to at the same time. we don't know when that could have been or where but all i can say is all of our close contacts, family, our work team no, one has tested positive. >> have the doctors told you that now that you all have it that you're now immune from it. do you know? >> they told us and that's what the belief is. recently we have been part of a study where we donated our blood
8:36 am
