quote, reconsider our membership in the organization. now the president has repeatedly claimed the w.h.o. was negligent in its coronavirus response and is biased in favor of china. >> the president also says he's now taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to help protect himself from the coronavirus. this drug is unproven as a treatment for the virus and the fda has warned it could have dangerous side effects. paula reid is at the white house for us. paula, this was an unexpected development. what are we learning? >> good morning, tony. the president revealed he's taking this drug as he was being pressed by reporters about a series of unfavorable stories. he said that he has taken hydroxychloroquine and zinc but so far, no one at the white house has been able to confirm the president's regimen. >> the frontline workers, many are taking it. i happen to be taking it. i happen to be taking it. >> hydroxychloroquine? >> i'm taking it. hydroxychloroquine. right now, yeah.

>> reporter: president trump says he's taking hydroxychloroquine and zinc, an unproven combination, after hearing anecdotal evidence. >> sir, i have hundreds of patients and i give them hydroxychloroquine. i give them the z-pak which is azithromycin and zinc. of the over 300 patients, i haven't lost one. >> reporter: he claims he request tuesday from the white house doctor about two weeks ago after a support staffer tested positive for covid-19. >> he said, well, if you'd like it. i said, yeah, i'd like it. >> reporter: the fda warned hydroxychloroquine should not be used outside a hospital setting. warning of serious heart rhythm problems in patients with covid-19. so far, the president's tests for the virus have all been negative. as scientists continue to study the drug's effectiveness, the president's endorsement has made it a political flash point. >> we've had tremendous response

to the hydroxy. >> it's a very strong, powerful medicine. >> reporter: speaking to cbs news in march, dr. anthony fauci expressed skepticism about its benefits. >> there is not a proven -- and it's the underlined word, a proven treatment or prevention. >> reporter: and the president's critics say he's once again giving the public bad medical information. >> every expert who has looked at it says it doesn't help you against covid. so he's giving people false hope. >> reporter: in a carefully worded memo monday, the president's physician revealed that the two men discussed hydroxychloroquine and decided that the potential benefit from treatment outweigh the relative risks. but it does not specifically say what it is the president is taking. and the president also does not engage in proven preventative measures. he does not wear a mask and he does not consiststently social distance. even those around him only started doing so in the past ten days. gayle? >> thank you, paula. cbs news medical contributor

david agus joins us with more on the drug president trump is taking. good morning to you, dr. agus. any proof that hydroxychloroquine can prevent covid for the president or anybody else? >> well, let's just start with the decision to take a medicine is one of the most personal things you can do. and it involves a discussion of the patient to a doctor with the risk, how close and how significant interaction did he have with this staff member. and the risks of the medicine. and they made that decision together given his risk for complication from covid. there was data that hydroxychloroquine could potentially have a benefit in cell culture dishes and it's in pilot studies in other countries. it looked encouraging that the nih and universities across the country have started clinical trials to say, does it actually work in patients with early covid-19? and the results aren't back. so the answer is we don't know yet, but this is a political football. when you talk about this, it

defines your politics whether you're for or against hydroxychloroquine. and that's not right. the data have to speak and hopefully the data will be out soon. >> but as a doctor, would you recommend that a patient take a prescription drug for something they say they don't have? >> well, the fda, when it approves a drug, as a doctor you can use it for any indication. it's legal. it's called off-label use. we do it significantly in the cancer space. so what we know with covid-19 is the data look and appear that the earlier you treat, the better the outcome. so with each individual patient you look and you say, what's the risk there's going to be complications for this patient and maybe you'd want to be a little more aggressive with the president of the united states. there has yet to be a medicine that's been shown to work early. some have worked late. remdesivir worked late in the disease and significantly shortened hospitalization in a placebo-controlled trial. we're still waiting for the data

from this drug. >> do you have any concerns, though, about the president promoting this drug, especially since the fda has said you should not take this drug outside of a hospital or not involved in a clinical trial for this. does this concern you? >> well, in general, this is a very, very safe drug. people have taken it for malaria, prophylactics. but i do not think the president of the united states nor any politician should be promoting individual therapies without data. this should not be part of politics. health shouldn't be political. it is not a republican or democratic issue. it's all of our personal issues. and i think we have to rise above the political nature of this drug and these talking -- and talk about other things regarding data and not recommending a drug. so i don't think it's right that anybody recommend a drug until the data have shown it. so the president doing this does not define that any patient in the country should emulate it

because we don't know that conversation with the physician. >> all right. david agus, thank you very much. anthony? >> thank you both. china's foreign ministry said this morning that president trump's message to the w.h.o. threatening to cut off funding for good is an effort to shift the blame for his administration's failures in responding to the coronavirus. ram ramy inocencio reports on the letter sent in the middle of a worldwide conference on the pandemic. >> reporter: in his scathing four-page letter, president trump slammed the world health organization for what he called a failed response to covid-19. an alarming lack of independence from china and for ignoring credible reports from wuhan. the president's health and human services secretary addressed the w.h.o. directly as it convened its annual assembly virtually for the first time. >> there was a failure by this organization to obtain the information that the world needed. and that failure cost many

lives. >> reporter: the president's missive came after xi jinping made a u-turn pledging to support an independent probe into the origins of the coronavirus and with a pledge of $2 billion in aid. but washington called xi's statements a distraction from what the white house claims to be china's failure to alert the world and said beijin should pay more. that payment might come in the form of a vaccine. china says it now has five candidates in clinical trial with cansino biologics, the first in the world to enter the second phase of clinical trials. >> typically to go through from phase one to phase three studies can take five to seven years. given the urgency of the pandemic, those steps have been compressed somewhat. >> reporter: and the last paragraph of president trump's letter, he threatened to withdraw all u.s. funding to the world health organization for good. that was $400 million in 2019, unless major changes are made in

the next 30 days. for "cbs this morning," ramy inocencio, tokyo. 49 of 50 states have now partially eased social distancing rules, but the pandemic is far from over. the reported u.s. death toll from the coronavirus has surpassed 90,000 people. now more businesses are looking for ways to safely reopen while the danger remains. david begnaud is in front of ab an apple store here in new york. good morning. >> you know how busy an apple store can be. everybody inside touching all those devices, pressing something that somebody else just touched. so what are big brands like apple going to do to change the rules? you have to wear a mask before you go in when the store reopens. mask applies to customers and employees. that's the rule. also they'll take your temperature before you're allowed inside. and they'll restrict how many people can go in because they want to maintain a social distance. that's what the big brand guys like apple can do. it's going to be interesting what the mom and pop shops around the country end up doing and are able to do as more

people continue to reopen around the country cautiously. 48 auto manufacturing plants across eight states are back open now. that means tens of thousands of employees at ford, gm and fiat chrysler are back at work. >> my wife is a nurse. my sons are cops. i'm ready. let's go. let's get this done. we've got to do it. >> reporter: video from this chrysler plant in warren, michigan, shows their new normal. temperature checks upon entry to the building. two masks are given to each employee. plastic coverings to keep employees separated. workers consistently sanitizing their work stations. even with all of that, some people were a little uneasy about going back to work. >> i know personally five people that passed away from this. four of them worked here. one worked next door. so we're scared. >> reporter: the auto industry is part of america's economic engine trying to get back on track. as governors around the country continue to slowly reopen. in texas yesterday, governor greg abbott reopened gyms, office buildings and child care centers with some restrictions.

there are plans to reopen bars and bowling alleys on friday. washington state announced the reopening of all medical services and massachusetts will be the second to last state in the country to ease restrictions. that state's governor charlie baker announced its state's strict four-phase plan. >> these two will be inseparable. getting back to work and fighting covid until there's a medical breakthrough with treatments or a vaccine. >> reporter: 21 states are still seeing an increase in new positive cases. that's why some governors are a little hesitant to open too much, too soon. >> open new jersey now! >> reporter: among those unhappy with their state's slower pace, the owners of this gym in new jersey. who believe the governor's stay-at-home order violates their constitutional rights. >> big-box retailers, grocery and liquor stores can operate with proper health protocol in place, so can every single business in america.

>> reporter: back here on the upper west side of manthattan, yesterday they shut down an orthodox jewish school. about 60 kids were pouring out of the building. very few of them wearing masks. the city got a tip the school was operating and so they went in to shut it down. the mayor of new york city, bill de blasio tweeted about this saying they were going to issue a cease and desist order. he put out the tweet because he clearly wanted people to know what they were doing and, gayle, he was trying to set an example. the city will not tolerate the defiance of city orders. >> all right, david begnaud on the move on the upper west side. i recognize that corner. thank you. secretary of state mike pompeo said he had no idea his department's outgoing inspector general was investigating him. pompeo insists the decision on friday to replace steve linick was not retaliation. linick is one of five internal government watchdogs to be removed by the president since march. as nancy cordes reports, mr.

trump says firing linick was not his idea. >> mike requested that i do it. >> reporter: president trump told reporters that it was secretary of state mike pompeo who wanted his agency's inspector general fired. >> i guess they weren't happy with the job he's doing or something. >> reporter: now lawmakers from both parties are asking the president for a detailed reasoning for the firing. house speaker nancy pelosi citing reports that linick was nearing completion of an investigation into the approval of billions of dollars in arms sales to saudi arabia. >> that arms sale by declaring a fake emergency in order to just go forward without the accountability and transparency is something that is worthy of attention. >> reporter: in an interview with "the washington post," secretary pompeo said that linick's work was undermining the state department and that the obama appointee wasn't performing a function in a way that we had tried to get him to.

it's simply not possible for this to be an act of retaliation, pompeo said. claiming that he was unaware that linick may also have been investigating pompeo himself for allegedly directing a political appointee to run personal errands. >> he's under investigation because he had somebody walk his dog from the government? i don't know. doesn't sound -- i don't think it sounds like that important. >> reporter: president trump says he's happy to fire any inspector general who was appointed by his predecessor. for "cbs this morning," nancy cordes, washington. the saudi air force officer who shot and killed three u.s. sailors last year had significant ties to al qaeda, according to the justice department and investigators there. the fbi says it broke into muhammad al shamrani's iphones and found evidence he coordinated his attack at a base in pensacola, florida, with al qaeda. the bureau says the military trainee who was killed by a

heavier into the city. they just started looking into an accident involving a motorcycle. it is a little slow through oakland and a little slow through hayward county getting onto the san mateo bridge. we are tracking some sunshine and also a few showers on high def doppler this morning. zooming income you can see a wet start to the day in spots near fremont as well as over san jose

it's tuesday, may 19th, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. unproven treatment, the president stuns medical experts with his own anti-covid regimen as states like florida gamble on a larger scale reopening. hope and kindness a young woman "60 minutes" met as a teenager living in poverty tells how a new generation can survive economic hardship. the class of 2020, new graduates tell us why they're still dreaming despite the pandemic. >> please keep dreaming big if

you first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00 the president says he's now taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to help protect himself from the coronavirus. >> the president revealed he is taking this drug as he was being pressed by reporters about a series of unfavorable stories. >> i get a lot of tremendously positive news on the hydroxy, and you know the expression i've used, john, what do you have to lose? >> you don't want to be making medical decisions whether you're the president or anybody, "what have you got to lose"? >> president trump, "reconsider our membership in the organization." >> president trump threatening to withdraw all help to the u.s. organization for good. everybody inside pressing something somebody else touched. what are big brands like apple going to do to change the rules? number one, wear a mask before you go in when the store reopens. >> the shutdown hurt a lot of businesses bringing people

inside like chuck e. cheese, lost 21% of sales but they have a solution, they've been making their menu available for delivery on grubhub under the pseudonym pasquale's pizza and wings, a fake name really? charles entertainment cheese i have never been so disappointed in my life, mostly by the pizza but also this behavior. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." tony, i know teddy's too young but you haven't lived until you had a chuck e. cheese birthday pizza party. >> i grew up with it. my older kids have been to chuck e. cheese parties. you don't necessarily go for the pizza but if they could deliver the skee ball i'd get it right here in the house. >> that's right. you've been there. we begin with this, president trump says he is taking the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine to protect himself from the coronavirus, despite warnings from health officials about the drug.

>> so i'm taking the two, the zinc and the hydroxy. and all i can tell you is so far, i seem to be okay. >> the president says he's been taking the anti-malaria drug for about a week and a half. there is no proof that it can be used to prevent the virus and there is no indication that the president has been diagnosed with covid-19. anthony? >> the fda and health officials have cautioned against using it outside hospitals because of its potentially serious and sometimes deadly side effects. >> in the summer report from our scientists at fda cdc and nih and barda that indicated that evidence for its benefit was weak and the evidence for its safety concerns was stronger. >> as i said many times, the data are at best suggestive. there have been cases that show there may be an effect, and there are others to show there's

no effect. >> the president says he consulted the white house doctor before taking the drug, and that he has not been exposed to the virus. some businesses in florida's hardest-hit counties are reopening with new rules that comes amid an increase in new coronavirus cases across the state. there are more than 46,000 confirmed cases statewide. the average daily increase in coronavirus cases is about 5% higher than it was two weeks ago. manuel bjorquez reports from miami. >> today we move into what i call the full phase one. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis declared monday his state's recovery plan is on track. >> i come here every day waiting hoping they'll reopen. >> some salons and restaurants are opening under strict rules, mandatory masks and hand sanitizer stations. some are voluntarily installing

plexiglass barriers. and checking temperatures at the door. >> we're ready to go. hoping the people come out. >> reporter: the reopenings come as florida's jobless numbers continue to climb. the state says it received more than 1.4 million unique unemployment claims for march 15th to may 12th. >> between the seven stores we probably had roughly furlough between 300 and 350 in people. it was tough. >> reporter: alex rudolph coowned tap 42. he says bringing his employees back was a relief, and after a weekend of prep, sanitizing surfaces, and measuring six feet between tables, the company's aventura location open its doors. the modest crowd a welcome change, after weeks of takeout only service. >> i think we probably were doing about 15% to 20% of our usual sales which is obviously not something that we could sustain long-term. hopefully we're through that part and we're ready to get back to business. >> reporter: but without a vaccine, the risk of another outbreak remains. are you concerned about an

increase in infections as people become more mobile? >> there is no doubt that the virus is still in our community. >> reporter: dr. aileen mardy helped author the miami-dade opening guidelines. the new normal will only last if floridians follow the rules. >> the minute people start violating them, we are likely to see problems. >> reporter: problems that rudolph says the restaurant business just can't afford. >> if restaurants had to close down again i think you'd see really dire, it's hard to even imagine. >> reporter: and though restaurants here in aventura started to reopen, other cities will wait a little bit longer. miami, miami beach and hialeah will allow restaurants to reopen next week. over the weekend, miami-dade county reported more than 700 new coronavirus cases. the governor said that increase was largely due to a testing

backlog. tony? >> every day of delay is a burden on those businesses but public health officials say it's necessary. manny, thank you very much. doctors have many unanswered questions about the coronavirus and how it attacks the body but one potential treatment focuses on drugs that help regulate a patient's immune response to the virus. senior medical correspondent dr. tara narula has details. >> reporter: one of the biggest mysteries surrounding covid-19 is why some patients show mild symptoms while others become gravely ill. molecules called cytokines may hold a clue. >> cytokines are a powerful weapon. we think that cytokine storm is responsible for most of the bad consequences we see. >> reporter: as the body fights covid-19, overproduction of these molecules can trigger a cytokine storm where the immune

system attacks the body's vital organs like the lungs and heart causing tissue damage. drugs are being used for rheumatoid arthritis. >> i was willing to accept the side effects because i felt pretty bad. >> reporter: in late march dr. andres maldo innato tested posie for the virus. his colleagues at jacoby medical center gave him a drug that blocks the il-6 molecule one of the main cytokines that trigger inflammation. >> the next day i never had a fever, never came back. >> reporter: do you feel that drug made a difference in your course? >> i can't say 100% it was this drug. we don't have an update on any of these things. >> reporter: to get that data on tosilizimab also known as

actemra, trials are under way. julia garcia diaz says taking the drug early will be critical. >> if they've been intubated for two weeks and organ systems are failing, i think there comes a point it's a little too late. >> reporter: just two weeks after being discharge d the doctor is back at work at jacoby medical centers. >> i'm completely overwhelmed. >> reporter: helping others battle covid-19. >> i share with them i had it, too. i was in icu and i got better and that seems to be reassuring to them look, i'm back at work standing. >> tocilizumab or actemra is an intravenous drug. patients get one or two doses. the goal is to enroll 450 patients in this placebo controlled randomized clinical trial. we hope to have more early results in the coming weeks. tony?

>> really interesting stuff, tara. one of the questions that leaps to mind mere is since these drugs target inflammation, could they help children affected by the multisystem inflammatory syndrome we've been talking about? >> that's a great question, and that's one that we asked some of the experts we spoke to, so tocilizumab is not studied right now in children with this syndrome but many of the experts said there's a different psychotyn blocker, one that blocks the il-1 molecule called actemra, used to treat some of the children with the new syndrome. we have experience with it in refracttory kawasaki disease and also a drug approved for ro rheumatoid arthritis. these may have value for children as well with this new syndrome. >> we'll continue to follow it. dr. narula, thank you very much. tomorrow we report on another coronavirus mystery, a growing number of patients developing dangerous blood clots. we'll look at one potential treatment that could help save

lives. with the economic nose dive putting many people's homes at risk, we found some words of wisdom and hope from a young woman who appeared on a "60 minutes" report as a homeless teenager nearly a decade saturdays happen.

in our financial fallout series we've been reporting on the economic impact of the coronavirus. this morning we look at,000 navigate your personal finances during the pandemic. we're also following more high-profile layoffs, uber slashed another 3,000 jobs yesterday. in addition to 3700 workers previously cut by the company. and we're learning the indoor cycling company soulcycle laid off an estimated 5% of its employees last month. vice media reports they received no severance pay. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger joins us. good morning. we're talking about more than 35

million people who have been laid off during this pandemic. what should people keep in mind if they are getting unemployment checks? >> reporter: i think a lot of people don't realize that unemployment benefits are federally taxable, and i know that seems a little bit weird while you won't be paying your fica tax you do owe money to uncle sam for the benefit including that extra $600 a week that came out of the c.a.r.e.s. act. now you may also be subject to state income tax. so if your state has an income tax you may actually have to pay that. though i should note some states actually waive the taxability right now. check your state. remember your benefits vary state to state but you may want to have that withholding taking place for you self. otherwise you could owe money next april when your tax bill is due for the year 2020.

>> yeah. uncle sam giveth but taketh away. people are struggling to pay their bills right now. what emergency measures should they consider or are available? >> reporter: well, number one, we know that you have gotten a check, probably that $1,200 or $2400. what i really want to underscore is that conserving cash is a very good idea right now. so try not to blow through that too quickly. as much as i hate to give this advice i feel like i have to check my certified financial planner designation at the door. this is a break the glass scenario. you may want to consider invading your retirement accounts. just know through the c.a.r.e.s. act the government now waives that 10% penalty it usually levis if you're under the age of 59 1/2. additionally, whatever you take out of your retirement account, the 401(k), the 403 b it's

taxable but through the c.a.r.e.s. act you can spread out that tax liability over the course of the next three years. so, again, not ideal, but these are extreme times. >> for people who are still working, jill, and we should mention of course there are a lot of people working who have taken pay cuts but given the uncertainty out there about how things are progressing here, what should people's financial priorities be right now? >> reporter: again, number one priority if the fallout from the the this pandemic haven't taught us already having adequate emergency reserve fund should be your number one priority. number one, two and three. six to 12 months of living expenses. if you're lucky enough to have a job or your household hasn't taken a big hit squirrel away as much cash as can you. look at your retirement account right now. good time to do that.

review what's in there. if you made any changes, maybe you got spooked, whatever it is, keep that allocation wherever you want it to be in the future. and also, if you got a federal student loan, many of those payments are suspended until september 30th. so what a great idea to try to stockpile some money and then get a jump on those student loans when the clock starts ticking again. if you have private student loans, one thing to consider, with interest rates low you may want to refinance those loans. so keep an eye on those personal matters, and try to look forward. whatever your game plan is, try to stick to it. another thing we really did learn through this crisis, anthony and one that wlaern over and over again, timing the market, not a great idea. so stick to your game plan going forward. >> right. looking at your retirement account now though can be scary. i peeked into mine a couple of days ago. not happy with what i saw.

the market did rebound monday. what's your sense of where the market is headed at this point? >> this is a great lesson in. that the stock market is not the economy, and the economy is not the stock market. the stock market is a collective bet on what future earnings will be for corporate america. and, you know, if you look at the pace of the changes in the market, they've been dizzying. we had that huge drop of a third from market highs in february. now up 32%. whatever that game plan s-again try too stick with it. don't mess awround thround wit l alllocation. >> why high schools in texas are using a day at the racetrack to handout diplomas. you're watching "cbs this morning".

woman we first met on "60 minutes" years ago facing hard times. she beat the odds. the hopeful message of autumn hope johnson. ate great story. your local news is coming right this is a kpix 5 news morning update. good morning, let's take you to the richmond center bridge. we have some brake lights westbound through the trek out of the east bay into marin county. it will likely be cleared although we are seeing some red

welcome back to cbs "this morning". time to bring you some of the stories that are talk of the table this morning since we're come towing from home we'll share a story with each other and all of you, those stories that are the talk of our tables. gayle is going first. >> okay. mine is a story of a mother of a celebrity using her platform for good. don't all mothers try to use their platforms for good >> we're talking about this time the mother of grammy winner bilbill billy eilish is hoping to feed people. she started an initiative to give plant food based to people in need. so i spoke with maggie the other

day about her mission. called support and feed. >> how has it been received? i think of you as a teenager who already thinking about being a vegetarian. people i think are more open to it. they want to hear more about it. people are embracing this kind of diet. how is it being received during this time? >> well, that is one of the remarkable things. we've received not only from restaurants who are cooking the food we're so happy to be committed to this cause and having their staffs employed but people receiving the food, you know so many people out there are vegetarian vegan. there's food being offered sometimes to people but very rarely includes that. so a lot of people are really so happy when they see that we're making a donation because they are longing for that vegan and vegetarian healthy food. >> you could see pictures there

of billie eilish and her brother. she grew up in a meat eating household but knew at an early age a plant based diet was better and raised her children that way. they have, of course, embraced what their mother has taught them and have problems with that. she's in three different cities and hopes to go nationwide with this. watch the full episode on our instagram pages. >> i love she's doing, any effort to improve feeding people right now is so important. students in north texas crossed the finish line to get their diplomas at a time of social distancing. 220 seniors from argyle high school graduated at texas motor speedway yesterday. it was the first of dozens of graduations scheduled at that venue. it normally hosts nascar race.

students sat six feet apart on the straightaway. they received their diplomas from a faculty member who wore gloves and masks and families watched from their cars in the newfoundland to minimize exposures. they could see on the big screen who was graug. they beeped their horns. over the next two weeks 36 graduations will be held there at the texas motor speedway. 13,000 students will get their die plow mass and the head of the speedway says i know it's not the graduation they expected but they are going be able to have an adventure of their lives and tell their kids look -- where did you graduate, mom? the at the texas motor speedway. memorable. >> that's cool. >> anthony, i love that. it's actually a perfect metaphor. at a nascar race the starting line is also the finishing line and high school is a finishing line but at the same time you're starting again. the new race.

ladies and gentlemen of the jury, start your engines. my pick is a hopeful story about someone who knows firsthand the kind of economic hardship that families can face at a time like this. at the moment the economic hardship is caused by the pandemic, and many people being pushed close the homelessness even before the coronavirus, get this some 38 million americans were living in poverty and more than 6 million were considered at risk of becoming completely homeless. but there are plenty of people even in a deep crisis like this who have lived through similar difficulties and we went out and found one such person because we think you're going to love where she ended up. she may be familiar to some of our longtime viewers. autumn hope johnson doesn't need the news to know what's happening these days. not the economic news anyway. that she's already lived. >> it's terrifying. i'm scared for those families. i'm scared for the children. in the clear bin we have dirty

laundry. >> reporter: autumn and her younger brother were those children two of the 16 million living in poverty after the great recession. >> you're not heating up food so much you're eating out of cans. >> yep. >> reporter: their mother died when they were young and their father lost the family house in seminole county, florida. by the time scott pelley caught up with them they were living in this yellow delivery truck. >> what's that like? >> an adventure. >> that's how we see it. >> when kids at cool ask you where you live what do you tell them? >> when they see the truck they ask me when i live in it and when i hesitate they realize. they say they won't tell anybody. >> it's not really that much of an embarrassment. it's only life. you do what you need do, right? >> where did that poise come from >> it came from hope. it came from hope for a better future. >> at what point did you realize

wow a lot of people have seen this now. and a lot of people are trying to get in touch with me. >> that same night. that same night. maybe 10, 15, 20 minutes after our section ended. there were people in our community who drove up and said, hey, we wanted to give you some things. that was when it really hit for me that there were people who were out there who really do care still. >> one of those people was the president stetson university. he offered her a full scholarship. >> it was incredible. honestly it changed my life. >> reporter: she still needed to get in. after her father lost custody she bounced around foster care families and very nearly gave up. >> if you had dropped out of school and disappeared under your problems, people would have understood. in fact that probably is the

expectation for a lot of kids in your situation. >> absolutely. i know a lot of children who have done that. >> reporter: instead at 17 autumn was adopted into a large and loving family. who encouraged her to get back in touch with stetson which she did. >> were you known as the girl on campus from the "60 minutes" report or did you arrive completely anonymous, blending within the crowd? >> i totally blended in with the crowd, 100%. >> reporter: that's the way you wanted it? >> that's how i wanted it. i wanted to update the year that i made it and i'm here. but he is same time i wanted to be a normal kid. >> reporter: last year as junior she decided she was ready to stand out again. at a major conference on homelessness one of her mentors rajni shankar brown introduced a familiar "60 minutes" report and a certain young woman. >> it was amazing.

it took so much strength for autumn to come out teen vulnerable in front of00 of people. we had everybody in tears but in a good way because hearts were opened. >> reporter: this month nearly ten years to the day she first moved into that truck, autumn hope johnson graduated. on the dean's list. and with plans to continue on to law school. >> were there ever moments you were there on that beautiful campus when you couldn't imagine the girl sitting on the floor of the delivery van doing her homework could be the very same girl on that campus? >> i couldn't imagine it. it was -- there were times when i look back and i could i shown even be here. but i know that this is a gift. and i've learned to accept gifts. and i'm grateful for it. >> reporter: isn't that lovely? she was very wise beyond her years as a 15-year-old back in

2011. that final moment she's still wise. autumn says the lesson in her story is that homelessness is not the same as hopelessness and that education is a cliche but true it's a ticket out. we should mention her brother who we saw there in clip also doing well. also at stetson. he's a sophomore. people who saw the original "60 minutes" report may remember that autumn was called arielle. that's true. her adopted family gave hear new name when she started her new life. that middle name is hope and that's what she personifies. >> i caught that. tony i loved everything about this story. i was so -- i was wondering what happened to the brother so i'm glad you gave us the update about that. and i'm thinking this is not the last time we've seen autumn hope johnson. she's going to law cool. i can't wait to see her future. it's really endless. what a great story. happy for her. >> absolutely true.
