welcoming of our morning show when we get back to the studio. thank you. and i will ve this morning. ha a great good morning to you, and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's wednesday, april 15th, 2020. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. roadmap to reopening? .. a first look at the federal government's potential plan to roll back restrictions as president trump backs away from those claims of total authority. we'll talk to the cdc director about how we will know when it's time to reopen america. check an inside look at the race to develop tests to find out who is immune to the coronavirus and why those tests are so important to the nation's recovery. struggling to keep up. how distance learning during this pandemic is leaving many children behind, especially and trevor noah's ark.

the "daily show" host tells us how this helped m prepare for the challenges of today. >> noah's ark, i like that, anthony. first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> tremendous death and economic devastation because those tasked with protecting us by being truthful and transparent failed to do so. >> reporter: president trump has announced he is halting funding to the world health organization while a review is conducted. >> he accused the w.h.o. of severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the virus. >> so much dea bed he idacowledged that individual statese the powi powish -- power to reopen or not. >> we say this unequivocally. there is no question that testing anywhere in our country

is not nearly where it needs to be. >> reporter: former president barack obama has endorsed his v.p., joe biden, for president. >> joe has the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us in a long recovery. >> reporter: senator sanders and cardi b. both threw their support behind joe biden. >> take a look at my nails. how are they looking? all that -- >> reporter: a man in a full hazmat suit walking down the st, alstt xtre and all that matters. >> professional wrestling is an essential service. ron desan at this time gave the wwe the green light to start recording events. >> it's nice to be that florida has hasn't lost its florida-ness, right? >> reporter: volunteers in indonesia dressing up as ghosts to spook people into staying home. >> reporter: the plan backfired when people ventured out to take pictures of the ghosts for social media. >> what has social media made us? there's a ghost, and you're like, "i'm going outside"?

i be if the exorcist head-twisting thing happened today, people would be like, instead of being scared, people would be like, oh, my god, can you do that again? it would make an amazing tiktok. eh, eh, eh. >> he is so right. oh, how times have changed. we would say, "can you do that one more time?" trevor noah. welcome to "cbs this morning" from our homes to yours. we're staying in, and we hope that you are, too. we really hope you are, too, if you can do that. if you're one of those essential workers keeping things going, we thank you so much for that, too. this is where we begin -- with the debate over how and when to begin reopening this country. president trump says plans are close to being finalized, and the "washington post" has obtained one possible roadmap from the cdc and fema. the president has backed off claims to have total authority over such efforts. he now says it will be up to the

states' governors. the president is also escalating efforts to cast blame for the pandemic. he says he's withholding u.s. funding to the world health ve the u. enough warning. didn't paula reid is at the white house. we want to start with the possible roadmap for reopening the country. >> reporter: the "washington post" has obtained a draft of this roadmap, and it's divided into three phases. the first phase focuses preparing the country, explaining how people should continue their met -- mitigation efforts and how the government plans to roll efforts back. the second phase which will go until about may 15th, emphasizes ramping up manufacturing of testing kits and also hiring more health care support workers tohelp with this massive response. but the country doesn't really start to reopen until phase three which cannot, according to

this plan, begin before may 1st. but this draft of a strategy comes as the president continues to send mixed messages about who exactly gets to decide when the u.s. is back open for business. >> i will then be authorizing each individual governor of each g.dividual state to implement a >> reporter: at hi a dramatic about-face in his ongoing feud with state governors, conceding they can decide when to open their local economies. >> the governors are going to do a good job, and if they don't do a good job, we're going to come down on them very hard. >> reporter: president trump promises to issue revised social distancing guidelines soon and said he's singling out over 20 states to reopen first. >> it it's going to be very, very close. maybe even before the date of may 1st. >> reporter: but in an interview with the "associated press," dr. anthony fauci, who wasn't at the briefing yesterday, said that

target is a bit overly optimistic as the u.s. does not yet have the critical testing and tracing procedures needed to begin reopening the nation's economy. >> we have to have something in place that is efficient and that we can rely on. we're not there yet. >> reporter: the president seemed to dismiss his point. >> i don't know -- i don't know whsaid. >> reporter: my question -- >> reporter: the president announced he will suspend funding for the world health organization. the international body which is coordinating the global fight against this pandemic through actions like shipping lifesaving medical supplies to 95 countries. >> the reality is that the w.h.o. failed to adequately obtain, vet, and share information in a timely and transparent fashion. >> reporter: the president claims the outbreak could have been contained in china if the organization had objectively addressed the situation instead of taking china's reporting at face value. but even after the group

declared a health emergency on january 30th, more than a week later the president was saying this about china -- >> i think china's very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control. >> reporter: and with a massive trade deal hanging in the balance, the president still appears unwilling to directly confront china. >> i don't talk about china's transparency. >> reporter: president trump is not the only one who has criticized the w.h.o.'s response to coronavirus. but the only american scientists who were allowed into china to study this virus went as part of a w.h.o. team. and earlier this week, the director of the cdc described the organization as a, quote, important public health partner. last year the u.s. contributed about $450 million to the w.h.o. they overall have about a $6 billion budget. anthony? >> paula, thank you. the director of the cdc, dr. robert redfield, will be joining us at 7:30. we'll discuss the trump administration's decision to withhold funding from the world health organization and the federal government's strategy to reopen america.

tny? >> looking forward to that. the question of reopening is also on the minds of states. california was the first state to issue a stay-at-home order over the coronavirus. now it is also considering a conditional comeback. governor gavin newsom announced a six-point plan with factor to consider including protecting high-risk populations. the state reported its single highest death toll yesterday, however. and so did the united states of america. more than 26,000 have now died from the virus. the toll went up by 2,300 people -- more than 2,300 people just yesterday. david begnaud is on new york's upper west side. good morning. part of the increase in the death toll is due to a change in the way we count people. the city is changing its categorization of victims? how so? >> reporter: well, they're factoring deaths that happened over the last several weeks. so here's what's happening -- mo deathto its and here's why -9

test because they weren't readily available. they are people who went into the hospital, had covid symptoms, died while being treated, and the doctor listed covid-19 on their death certificate. now their deaths are being factored into the city's death toll. elsewhere around new york state, here's what's happening -- the governor of new york says the number of people dying in the state every day over the last week has stabilized. between about 670 and nearly 800. >> it's basically flat at a devastating level of pain and grief. arthe nation's health care as of last week, nearly 9,300 nationwide have been infected according to a study from the cdc. at least 27 have died. those living at nursing homes are also being hit hard. canterbury rehabilitation and health care center in richmond,

virginia, has now lost 45 residents. that surpasses the number of covid-19 deaths at the life care center in washington state. where the crisis in this country started sioux falls, south dakota, is the site of one of the largest known clusters of coronavirus cases in the country. nearly 440 employees at the now-closed smithfield foods pork processing plant have tested positive, as well as more than 100 people they've been in contact with. despite the state's nearly 1,000 cases, the governor is not ordering those living in the hardest-hit counties to stay at home. >> i don't believe it's appropriate considering the data and the facts and the science that we have. >> the growth that we've seen in our covid cases really in the last week has been a bit staggering. >> reporter: sioux falls' mayor disagrees with the governor saying the science he believes does demand early action. what are the numbers in terms of data that you have that's driving your stay-at-home request?ngnde've bn doubling

ery four days for the last 18 daysi would rath be chastised f you act, mayor? >> reporter: meanwhile, we are hearing more about what recovering from the virus looks like and feels like. 26-year-old yoga teacher fiona lowenstein wants you to know the difficulties she's still dealing with. give us the down low. >> it's been exactly a month since i first had symptoms. in the past two to three weeks, it's been a lot of intense fatigue. just a real difficulty focusing. slight loss of memory. and then there's also these intense headaches that come almost every night. >> reporter: fiona also said she had pretty severe gastrointestinal issues where for a week or more she could only hold down a cracker. things have gotten better. one more thing. back to california, the governor

is considering in his reopening plan that he's looking at the p wi have to sca eyto a rtaurant around the state. >> we want to do whatever it takes to be safe. thank you so much, david. while americans hope the country will be reopened, leaders are calling for widespread antibody tests to fight the coronavirus. the blood test may be able to find out if someone who had coronavirus is now immune to it. this could help determine who can safely resume a normal life. questions still remain over whether this test can accurately determine immunity and how long that immunity lasts. our senior medical correspondent, dr. tara narula, shows us how this test works. if we were able to quickly test people with antibodies and show that the antibody keeps the virus away, we can start getting people back to work. >> reporter: dr. matthew sims is director of infectious health

arch ldingtudy t through a few drops of blood, the tests can determine if someone has built up antibodies to fight off the virus which could be a sign of immunity to prevent reinfection. but it remains unclear how long that immunity will last. dr. mike ryan is the executive director of the world health organization's emergency programs. >> one would expect that a person who is -- generates a full-blown immune response with detectible antibodies should have protection for a period of time. we just don't know what that period of time is. >> reporter: beaumont hospital nurse zena kassab is testing tested though she doesn't have symptoms. she says weed spread testing is important to understand this pandemic.

>> i have young children, people in my life over 65 with co-morbidities, as well. i want to know if i've been exposed what i can do to continue to protect my family and to continue to serve our community. >> reporter: testing like this is being done across the country, but with little federal oversight, accuracy is a concern. the fda has only officially approved one test. how accurate is the test that you have now? >> you know, we've believe it's in the high 90s. you know, no test is perfect. you're always going to have some false negatives, you're always going to have some false positives. >> do you think that antibody tests can give a false sense of security? >> anything can give you a false sense of security.ec ecautis even if yohave >>ara, e raing thei do you have a sense of when this test will be widely available to everybody? >> reporter: unfortunately, gayle, we don't know when it will be widely available.

it really comes down to two things. one is how rapidly and efficiently we can scale up production of the tests. more important is how accurate are these tests? and we need to validate that. what we don't want is to have tests telling people they're negative when they're positive and positive when they're negative. that would be a big problem. the other factors that we need to figure out and time will tell us this is how protected are you with the antibodies. just because you have a positive test, does that offer a strong level of protection, and how long will you be immune for? ultimately, this is a good thing. the antibody tests are going to tell us how widespread the pandemic is. they'll help us reopen our economy. they will really provide that bridge until we get a vaccine. >> yeah. let's hope they can figure it out sooner rather than later. thank you very much, tara. experts say that more diagnostic tests to see if people h coronavirus are also key to reopening america. tomorrow a top medical advocate will explain what more the

government can do. first on "cbs this morning," we'll hear from one of the nation's largest private labs about the challenges that it is facing. anthony? >> thanks. former president barack obama blasted the trump administration's response to the pandemic in his endorsement of joe biden's presidential campaign. in a 12-minute prepared video, mr. obama urged democrats to rally behind his former vice president. he said biden has the character and experience to guide us through one of our darkest times. ed o'keefe is covering campaign 2020. ed, ats have waia longtimeo hea president. after staying mostly out of campaign politics for the past three years, it's clear he had a lot to get off his chest. he didn't name president trump directly, the former president accused him and congressional republicans of denying the science of pandemics. he also accused them of trying to kick millions off their health care during a public health crisis.

>> because one thing everybody has learned by now is that the republicans occupying the white house and running the u.s. ed in uron not interested in this election, and it won't be easy. the other side has a massive war chest. the other side has a propaganda network with little regard for the truth. >> mr. obama praised biden's platform as the most progressive of any major party nominee and said in his past work on dealing with the epidemics like h1n1 and ebola and the 2008 economic crisis are reasons why he's ready to be president. mr. obama praised senator bernie sanders and his outreach to young voters. he sent fund-raising texts for biden and to, so will we. >> as soon as we can.

yeah, we're all looking for that moment if it comes. we'll be there. all right. thank you very much. ahead, the number of coronavirus cases is surging in latin america. we'll show how this could affect the united states of america. first, 7:17. ♪teus of lindt excellence by the lindt master chocolatier ♪

welcome back to "cbs this morning." president trump says he is going to follow through on his threat to suspend funding to the world health organization in the middle of this pandemic. the president says the money vestigation as criticism has swirled around his own administration's handling of the crisis. he has suggested that the w.h.o. should have done more to warn the united states. >> had the w.h.o. done its job to get medical experts into china to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out china's lack of outbrd have been contained at its source with very little death.

>> the u.s. gave the geneva-based organization more than 450 -- $450 million last year, that's according to the "associated press." the group's mission is to fight diseases, get patients the health care they need, and prevent outbreaks. anthon ni us now from washington is the director of the centers for disease control and prevention, dr. robert redfield. dr. redfield, good morning, and thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me, anthony. >> i want to get to the president's decision about cutting funding for the w.h.o. in a moment. i want to start with this framework for reopening the country which the "washington post" reports that the cdc and fema have been working on for the past week tt lifting of all mitigation over a period of 180 days. how long before this report is finalized, and what guidance exactly have you been giving the president? >> well, cdc's been involved from the beginning in giving both science and data to help

advise policies on this outbreak response. obviously i'm an active member of the white house task force. we continue, cdc, to provide our perspectives in terms of consideration as the task force as a group is looking at all the different options for our plan to begin to help assist the states as they begin to reopen our country. we're poised to provide assistance. it's going to be really important to get a few things in place, more obviously testing for early diagnostics, expand the public health capacity for early diagnosis, isolation, and contact tracing. this is going to be fundamental to maintain and contain cases as they occur. and then make sure we have the health capacity to deal with this. as we work to regain the confidence of the american public that it's safe to go back to work. >> how do you see that process

working out? your predecessor, dr. -- one of your predecessors, dr. tom frieden, said in terms of contact tracing we could japanese essentially an army of -- need essentially an army of health care workers as big as 300,000 people. we're obviously nowhere close to that. we're also behind in testing. how long before we're ready to begin this process? >> well, i think we're continuing to improve the availability of testing every day at the level of the states. that's going to continue. i think expanding the public health work force so that we have more individuals, boots on the ground in the field, so that when the case is identified you can do a rapid, comprehensive contact tracing. we're in the process of augmenting that. we've also provided substantial resources to the states, so they're going to begin to augment that capacity. and i think we'll have a collective expansion of boots on the ground. ultimately what the ultimate number is that's going to be required i think is still speculative. we're prepared to move that

forward and improve that local public health capacity so people are diagnosed rapidly and when they are they're ace lighted and the -- ice lated and the contacts are traced and they're diagnosed and isolated and their contacts are traced. that's going to be fundamental. this got beyond containment. the containment is an important part of the our strategy that will be supported by targeted mitigation. >> there is one study that's reporting that we may not be able to ease social distancing if we don't get a vaccine until 2022. do you see that being a possibility? >> i think met gas station steps -- mitigation steps are an important component of it. i think it's really, really a moment to take a bow for the american public that really embraced the social distancing recommendatis t forward. i think when you saw the original models that i had to see from cdc that modeled up to

2.2 million people tdying befor the fall, it was potentially catastrophic, as you can see. obviously the 26,000 lives lost is 26,000 too many. that said, it really is the american public's response to social distance and sacrifice, not for themselves but for the benefit of the most vulnerable. it's really a testament. i do think we're going to have some social distancing that's going to be a critical part of our strategy as we go forward while we await the fruits of the innovation of the different biological countermeasures to include a vaccine. >> on the topic of the world health organization and the president cutting off funding, bill gates said overnight in his words that that is as dangerous as it sounds. you've called the w.h.o. an important partner. do you view cutting off funding to them as dangerous? >> you know, i'm going to se the w.h.o.'s been a longstanding partner for cdc. we've worked together to fight

health crises around the world. we continue to do that. we're working side by side now in the congo, in the drc with trying to bring the ebola outbreak to an end. we're working obviously together on this coronavirus. i think it's important at this point that we leave the analysis of what could have been done better and what -- what maybe we did well to once we get through this and get through the outbreak, we get it over, i think -- >> dr. redfield, if you cut off funding, if you cut off funding to the w.h.o. -- this is a significant amount of their funding -- in the middle of a pandemic, what's the impact internationally to fighting this virus? >> again, i'm going to come back to w.h.o. has been a long-term and still is a great partner for us. we're going to continue to do all we can together to try to limit this. those decisions that are made above related to some of the geopolitical issues i have to leave to those that really have that expertise.

for me and for cdc and the public health arena, we're continuing to work side by side with w.h.o. to do the best that we can to limit the spread of disease and to the american people. >> all right. dr. redfield, that's not really telling me how much damage you think this is going to do, but thank you so much. >> thanks. ahead, how the coronavirus outbreak in latin america could become a major problem for the u.s. and a reminder you can always get the morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning's" podcast. hear today's top stories in less than 20 minutes. we'll be right back. are most uncertain, we turn to the most certain thing there is. science. science can overcome diseases. create cures. and yes, beat pandemics. it has before. it will again. because when it's faced with a new opponent, it doesn't back down - it revs up. asking questions 'til it finds what it's looking for.

major u.s. airlines are participating in a $25 billion bailout after days of negotiations. delta, jetblue, and united are among the carriers that are applying for assistance. demand for flights has been drastically cut due to the coronavirus. the help will likely come as many of these airlines could see a 3% stake in the company's largest stake in those companies. it's a big deal. this is the last time something like this happened was during 9/11. >> yeah. it's a big deal. i mean, america needs its airlines for sure. but not everybody is on board. former labor secretary robert reich, a clinton-era guy, says the government should be bailing out people, not corporations, and these cortions shoul borring. we need our airl but a controversial choice nonetheless. moving on, we've got a former presidential candidate grilled by a famous rapper? >> reporter: exactly. this is really cool.

so senator bernie sanders teamed up with guess who -- cardi b. -- for a live instagram interview. the outspoken supporters of sanders had an instagram live yesterday. and she sat down with bernie sanders and had some interesting things to say about why senator sanders suspended his campaign, and more importantly, she talked about why now he's backing joe biden and so is she. take a listen to this. >> so now we have 45 and joe biden. and you know me, since i've been so on you and so focused on you, i haven't done my research well on joe biden. i will -- want you to tell why you're endorsing him. >> donald trump is to my mind the most dangerous president in the modern history of america. what i. also trying -- what i am also trying to do right now, cardi, is to work with joe to see that he becomes a more progressive candidate. >> reporter: so gayle, there is

important. a lot of -- this is important. a lot of people worried that some of sanders' supporters would not back joe biden. cardi b. says she is. >> listen, i think cardi b. and bernie sanders are a show waiting to happen. the two of them clearly have a rapport. she's been with him from the very beginning. i kept looking at her nails going how does she do that as mine are dropping off one by one. how is she doing that? show wai. let's go on to florida. there's always something happening in florida. what have you got? >> reporter: that is right. i love this story. employees at the palm beach county animal care center are basking in an incredible moment. take a look at this. they are clapping because for the very first time stor their kennel is empty, you guys. there are no dogs. staffers are grateful for the shelter workers, foster parents, and all those who adopted pets during this difficult time. di story on this. they're running out of pets

it's wednesday, april 15th, 20 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony da k b koebl and we're learning about new guidelines for reopening the country. unequal burden. why the financial impact has hit minority communities especially hard. >> and finding hope. we talkynton marsalis about the power of jazz and trevor noah on how comedy with help ease anxiety. >> looking forward to that. first, here's today's eye opener. >> a debate over how and when to

start reopening the country. >> president trump says plans are close to being finalized. >> this draft comes as the president continues to send mixed messages about who exactly gets to decide when the u.s. is nearly 3800 more deaths to the death toll and here's why. these are people who didn't get a covid-19 test because they weren't readily available. >> everybody i know is raising their hands saying test me, test me, please. >> it really comes down to two things. one is how rapidly and efficiently we can scale up production of the tests. more important is how accurate are the tests? >> mr. obama cited the past work on working with eastbound and the 2008 economic crisis. >> someone captureed this video on their ring camera, s. delivyd to put his truck in gear, and then he brought the item to the

door, and made a note of it. he's pretty relaxed. you see? rings the bell, until even walking back to the truck he's relaxed but then realizes the truck is rolling back ward, and off he goes. last we checked, still chasing that truck. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." i've never delivered packages but i have done that. tony, have you? >> me too. >> fortunately, i was still sitting in the car when it happened. that's a funny picture. >> yeah. you pull one foot out, put it on the ground and the car keeps rolling. it looks like he could that befe i think the vehicle was put back thnews. >> tt's right. note to self, put the car in park. very nice. >> like many of you as you see, we're following the guidelines to stay home as much as possible. it's been 24 days, three hours

and 22 seconds but who is counting? not me. moving on. we're going to take our first look this morning at a road map for reopening the nation amid the coronavirus pandemic. "the washington post" has published a draft of one possibility from the cdc and fema. this three-step plan includes a communication strategy to prepare the company. manufacturing of tests and protective equipment, and increased spending on the infrastructure. that would be followed by a gradual return but not before may. >> and that's in contrast to what president trump said yesterday. he suggested that some parts of the united states could reopen by may first or even earlier. dr. fauci called that a bit overly optimistic. the u.s. has seen the deadliest day from the pandemic. right now the reported death toll sands at more than 26,000. yesterday nearly 2400 lives were

lost. >> many schools are closing for the rest of the academic year due to the pandemic. so far 19 states have announced schools will not reopen this spring. in new york city, the mayor says the nation's largest district with more than 1 million students will not reopen. meg oliver vojoins us from new jersey where the governor there says schools are closed indefinitely. >> reporter: good morning. behind me is our version of shop class. this home schooling is not easy. and as tens of millions of students move to online learning, many are struggling to keep up and some aren't logging insoo report a decline in adttendancattendance. asia bryant thought this spring would be one of celebration rapping up her high school softball career and graduating.

>> your graduation has been cancelled. how do you feel about that? >> i'm sad about it. it was going to be like a big exhale for me. >> reporter: there's been no exhale for bryant. since her los angeles high school moved to online learning she's worried about falling behind. do you have a spotty internet connection? >> yes. >> we witnessed her spotty text firsthand. >> did you freeze? i think you froze. darn it. hang on. >> bryant says she's still logging on and doing her work, but that's not the case for all students in the district. the district says for the first two weeks of online learning, 15,000 high school n at snut bybout two-thirds. many districts scrambled to get students devices like laptops and wi-fis after schools closed

but there's a lot of catching up to do. nearly 12 million children do not live at homes with an internet broad band connection. >> this dallas teacher andrea bazemore works at a school with a lot of low income households. >> i had a student doing her reading lesson. we were on such a great momentum, but we had to stop about 10, 20 minutes in, because her data had run out. and her mom said hey, i've got to stop. i need to go somewhere with wi-fi. they didn't have wi-fi in the house. >> reporter: bazemore is communicating with parents any way she can like over text. she started hosting virtual pizza parties with a different student each friday as encouragement. >> i solicited donations from friends and family, and through those donations i'm able to provide a pizza at their doorstep. forget all the things that are happening in our world today and

just have a relaxing moment. >> reporter: are you concerned they're going to be left behind? >> i'm absolutely concerned. we talk about summer slide. how students decline over their reading and math skills over the summer. we're going to have a coronavirus slide. it's going to be very, very significant. >> reporter: education expert dr. karen aronian agrees. she said data is already pointing to a steep decline. >> this is a crisis right now. we know we're looking at with reading a 30% dropoff, and in math, 50% for this time frame. >> aronian thinks districts should begin using retired and substitute teachers to help reach students who don't internet or devices. >> those potential families would be linked to a teacher that lives nearby them who could drop off a packet of academic work once per week and check in with themda reporter:

hopeful. she plans to attend community college in the fall where she'll play softball. >> i hope somehow, someway i can continue to do what i love. i think hopefully, playing there as well. it gives me a fresh start. >> reporter: a round f applause for asia. she keeps logging on despite the challenges. the los angeles school district said they will not fail students during this period. back here in new jersey, some school districts have suspended spring break requiring students to continue online learning. thankfully that didn't happen in our district. we needed a break. so anthony, this is our attempt to build a tree house. >> good luck with that, meg. as i've often said, my wife is a teacher. my wife is a teacher, and it's an incredibly challenge time to keep the kids' attention and connected because of technology issues you talk about. hats off to the teachers doing

he has advised three u.s. presidents and is working with the trump administration. good morning to you, john hope bryant. it's good to see you. listen, i think all small businesses are really struggling at this time. good to see you, john. all small businesses are struggling at this time. but what are you finding, what are you hearing from minority business owners in particular? >> well, when there's a headache, black and browns have new mexi pneumonia. it hurts more the black business because you don't have the infrastructure to finance the accounting department, the -- the back room sophistication because most of the businesses are very small, one to four employees, to be able to power through the paperwork and the constant changes of the program, as well as -- as well jingiod a. they need operation hope to be the catalyst to get into the application pool to get this money. >> so what are you doing

exactly? >> we're doing credit counseling, we're helping folks to qualify for the c.a.r.e. act. we're helping businesses to qualify for the c.a.r.e. act, weelping the er people wa,o modr mortgage, modify their small business loan, modify their -- their credit cards, to reset their life, negotiate with a landlord. you don't have an advocate now. what i keep saying is the color has changed, gayle. it used to be red and blue as in politics. used to be black and white as in race. now the color is green. whether you're white, black, red, brown, yellow, today you want to see some more green. we want to see environmental sustainability. today the meaty color is economic green. everybody's got to get focused on that. you're not going to get as much money as you would, you're not going to get it as quickly as you would like, you're not necessarily going to like the process, but the money on the other side is real. it's the first time in u.s. history the government is giving you a check. in many cases you don't have to

pay it back. get in line. go get your money, stop complaining about the color of it or the size of it, go get your money. the money's real on the other side. it's frustrating, but it's real on the other side. >> so how do they get the money? that's the question everybody's asking. how do you do that? i like what you said, finances don't discriminate. it's not black or white, the color is green. we're all in this together, i've heard you say. how do you get the money? >> yeah. unfortunately we didn't get the memo on -- unfortunately we're in the middle of a crisis trying to figure it out. no one got a financial literacy question. no time for a lecture about it. time to get in line. you got to find an sba-approved lender. you do not have to have an account with them. every bank's criteria is the same. find a small bank. not everybody needs big banks. find a small bank, credit union, c d cdfi on line, get in the

smallest, most discreet institution that's approved that has the lowest level of applications in their pipeline, that's where you want to go. if you're confused, call us, i'll bridge hope. our services are free. we're your advocate. we're like the starbucks of financial inclusion. again, the color today is green. and you're never going to get a check like this from the federal government for free ever again. if you -- if you're a nonprofit, you get a check. a church, you get a check. a small business, you get a check. everyone will guest at least $10,000, but you've got to apply. do it now because they're running out every day. essentially they stood up the ten largest banks in america in 15 days. of course there's going to be a crap show. of course it's going to be ready, fire, aim. nothing's going to work well. and every process is going to be broken. what do we expect? just -- we can complain about it later. at the moment, go get your green. call us if you have problems, we'll help you. >> you called operation hope because hope, and you do see inspiration

despite this time. what is that, john? >> well, it's all the stuff we're not doing, gayle. i mean, think about this -- we have frustrations in our governments, all that kind of stuff going on, we can't agree on much. there's no rioting, there's no other. people are building bridges to each other. they're -- they're loving each other. they're being gracious, corporations and leaders are doing incredible things with their own wealth. employers are being incredibly compassionate. the thing that everybody's doing, your viewers are doing, is being kind and loving to each other. that's the american spirit. that is a role model for the world. listen -- listen, no rioting or looting. crime is down. even the criminals are like, shoot, ain't no time for this. i mean, everybody's getting the memo. >> yes. >> this is time to come together. that's really important for spirit. >> it's so important for the spirit when at times it can seem

spiritually and emotionally draining. what do you think we can learn from this america's lesson about her strength and her weaknesses at this particular time? and what we need? >> well, we're resilient people, gayle. up from nothing. and rainbows only follow storms. that's a scientific fact. you cannot have a rainbow without a storm first. i think there is a reset. we didn't learn the lesson. i guess god was like, look, i tried to tell you about wealth and income inequality, you didn't listen. i tried to tell you politics could be cooperative and compassionate, didn't listen. i try to tell you that racism is stupid. we're all coming from the same dna, you didn't listen. wort worst of all, we didn't sustain -- he sent us a reset to get our attention. everybody's attention at the same time. billionaires, millionaires, and folks trying to buy some -- that us. better on the other side. >> you're right.

you're right. we are all paying attention with both ears and both eyes. thank you, john hope bryant, for taking the time this morning. we really appreciate it. you noticed john's signals froze, it's not your tv, it's technology. thank you for rolling with that, viewers. thank you so much. ahead, we'll be talking with comedian trevor noah. we'll be right back.

gist new york city alone, more than 60,000 boxes have been donated to health care workers and their families. and it's just a wonderful program. it's not only cookies. lling masks for ople, it's a wo gesture. and it's a reminder of the girl scout motto, be prepared. i can say for once that i was prepared, so prepared that right upstairs, right above me, in fact, there is a freezer, and it is stocked with girl scout cookies. thin mints, frozen. delicious. >> yeah. >> anthony? >> yeah. oh. >> yay. >> i would be putting on ten pounds in your house. we've been talking about how hard it is to keep kids connected in school. a teacher in new jersey had a great idea. his -- sorry, in florida. his kindergarten students in florida were living on a prayer when a rock star made a surprise visit to their online class.

take a listen. ♪ if you can't do what you do you do what you can it's ain't a prayer it's a thought i'm wanting to send ♪ how does that sound? >> i love it. >> that's grammy-winning jon bon jovi, of course, performing samples of the students -- that the students wrote about their lives in quarantine. he's inviting fans to submit verses for an unfinished song about america's battle against the coronavirus. and mr. michael bonnick, a teacher down there, sent some of the things that the kids had written to bon jovi's assistant. they loved them, and he said, you know, i want to show up in class, and he did. i think the teacher was even more excited than the kindergarteners, though. >> yay, onbon overy from new jersey. -- jon bon jovi from new jersey. bruce springsteen, the boss, and a lot of famous new jersey artists are getting together. they're going to do a virtual concert. i think coming up next week. looking forward to that.

mine is about a groundhog. do you remember new york city's famous pizza rat? well, there's another rodent like it in philadelphia, only this guy's a little bigger. >> oh, my -- >> meet the pizza groundhog. caught on video outside the kitchen window of christina bagnell's home the other day. so the groundhog you see is just -- kristin bagnell, sorry, krist kristin. it's munching unphased by the dogs looking at him, maggie and moses. look at his teeth. the groundhog sat there for over an hour just sort of nibbling away. it occurred to me, guys, as i was looking at this video, i have never actually seen a groundhog in person. and may i live the rest of my life and never seen a groundhog in person. i thought that was very cute but a little creepy for me. >> very cute. a little bit creepy. the pizza looked pretty good. if he's not going to finish the crust, i might take a bite. on the subject of rats, i will

point out that the -- the new york city pizza rat, we may need to spare a thought and a concern for him and the whole rat popula. wies close all over the country, rats, they usually feast on what's going on behind a restaurant after closing time. they're starving. so apparently researchers say this is a bad time to be a rat. kind of a good time to be a human, i guess. not going to shed a tear for the rats. >>

"daily show" host trevor noah got his start in stand coming up economy. "son of patricia" shows why she does not enjoy camping. >> you want to go camping, dude? i'm like, why? why? dude, what do you mean why? it's amazing. no water, no electricity, you know. it's just like us and the great outdoors. like you got to take a dump in like in the hole in the floor or something, dude. i'm like, yeah, that was my life. that was me growing up. up know how hard i worked to never going camping again? >> the emmy award winner is out with a paperback edition ofbest memoir, "trevor noah born of a south african childhood." adapted for young records and

talks about growing up when interracial relationships were illegal. "the daily show" is a division of via comcbs. trevor noah joins us now from new york. good morning. >> good morning to you. how's everybody doing? >> we're doing okay. all things considered. i think i want to underscore something very unusual about your book. first of all, most books published in this country never make the bestseller list. your book not only made it but came back around and made it a second time. what's going on? what's your reaction to that? how did that happen? >> i think i've been really fortunate and blessed in that the book has resonated with people for different reasons. when i first wrote it, i think a lot of people gravitated toward the book because they wanted to learn about apartheid in south africa, they wanted to learn about the history of a country that had gone through something very similar to america but very different at the same time.

and then what i've discovered recently has been the resurgence of the book has been driven a lot by children, strangely enough, because as much as i wrote a book about growingn south africa, really the gist of the book is just the story of me growing up with my mom. it's a story of coming of age. you know, a story of being an outsider, not knowing where you fit in the world, not knowing how the world relates to you. and i think a lot of.riving rema o nt whe bk has i'mgrateful.. >> the book does segue back to that bit we played at the top where people were talking about camping. you're like, look, that was my life. there are moments in the book where if i recall correctly you have so little money, you're eating wild spinach -- just picked off the ground. it's an unusual story in addition to being universal in the sense that it is coming of age, as you repackage it, leave

some things in, take things out for young readers in this new edition, what are you hoping that they'll take away from it? >> well, the biggest thing i hope they take away is what -- i took forever to learn, we all take forever to learn in life, especially as kids, is that, you know, in life i don't think we should be striving to fit in. we should be striving to find ourselves. we should be striving to accept ourselves. and you know, i know a lot of kids read my book and were like, wow, i can't believe you grew up in south africa, but you have the same stresses as me. you -- you were worried about getting someone to go to the prom with you. you were worried about being liked in school. you were worried about where you fit in, your family was dysfunctional, and you had issues with that and those issues came into your life. and so for me, whenever children read the book and whenever i read passages to kids or whenever i join in to like little book clubs, the biggest thing that strikes me is how similar we are all over the globe. you know, we all have different lives, and we all lift in different countries. but when it boils down to human

beings, there are fundamental experiences we're all going through on very different levels. it's actually unifying to see for me the -- that no matter where you are in the world, no matter what continent, you can be experiencing the same thing. i think you can find the same answers in how to overcome those obstacles. >> trevor, maya used to say that all the time, that we are more alike than we are different. your book highlights that. the original version was 84,000 words, for young adults it's 72,000 words. you say no profanity, no overt sexual material. but in the book you include the history of apartheid and how it differs from jim cro laws in the united states. i have questions about that, but i won't. why is it important you think to have those kind of discussions with kids? >> well, i think it's important -- you know, when i was young, i had -- i had an amazing history teacher in school who really emphasized the need for us to learn history.

and i never understood why. and she always used to say, she would say the reason we learn history is so we can try our best not to repeat the follies of the past. and i think a lot of the time, history and learning of history has become a divisive thing in many places in the world because people feel like we're trying to relife what happened. i think anything, it gives us context, not just as kids but as adults, in learning where we've come from, how we've come to be here. and i think, you know, if you think of history on a simple level, if you remove humans from it, it just helps us understand why we are where we are today, you know. so if you're going to build a house, you get somebody to come out and surveil the land. they're basically telling you the history of the land before you can build the house so you caniguruthatoundion to pnland. s the same purpose. without knowing what the foundation of the land is, we can't figure out how to move forward as a society. we don't know why anybody is where they are, we don't understand what structural elements of society have been in

place that have hurt people or helped certain people. and so i think that's the importance with history, just understanding this is how we got to where we are today. and then this is how we can move away from what we did incorrectly in the past. that's the beauty of storytelling, the beauty of history. i think people fight about it way more than they should because they put themselves in the history and start to fight about something that has already d people to take the particular and make it universal. in that latter category, you're one of the best there is. trevor nonoah, thank you so muc for joining us.
