peaceful protesters were forcibly removed from lafayette square that he even considered resigning. >> i should not have been there. my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception that the military involved in domestic politics. >> reporter: late last night, defense secretary mark esper announced a review of the national guard's response to the recent civil unrest. he said it will address a range of issues including training and deployment. tomorrow the president will speak at the graduation for the u.s. military academy at west point. gayle? >> nikole, thank you. the president is still pushing seattle's mayor to reclaim a neighborhood protesters have turned into a cop-free zone. police abandoned a local precinct there on monday after the area became a hot bed for demonstrations over the death of george floyd. anna warner has more on the city's response to the protest.

>> ultimately, the city had other plans for the building. and relented to severe public pressure. >> we're going to evaluate and see if -- what the viability is of bringing officers in. but certainly no plan to do that right at this moment. >> reporter: the autonomous zone has turned into an almost street fair-like atmosphere with free food, art displays and outdoor movie nights. but there have been some reports of armed people patrolling the streets in lieu of police. demonstrators have renamed the building the seattle people's department. >> this also is our building as we paid for this. and we pay for their works and everything that they do is supposed to benefit the people. >> reporter: and many say they have no plans to leave. >> we're not stopping these guys from going to work, but we will occupy the space for the best of our ability, utilizing our rights. >> reporter: for cbs this morning, anna werner, san francisco. the city council of louisville, kentucky, is outlawing no-knock warrants

nearly three months after police there shot and killed breonna taylor. a no-knock warrant allowed three plainclothes officers to burst into her apartment while she was sleeping. national correspondent jericka duncan spoke with taylor's mother about the new law. there's also similar legislation in congress, correct? >> that's right, anthony. rand paul introduced that legislation. it's call the justice for breonna taylor act which would end these warrants nationwide. taylor's mother who told me her daughter would have been 27 years old last week said her daughter was a loving person whose death could have easily been prevented. >> it means that she has saved someone else and that's really the big thing here because this shouldn't have happened to her. >> reporter: with a unanimous vote late thursday, the louisville metro council passed breonna's law, officially banning no-knock warrants

countywide. attorney ben crump -- >> the breonna taylor law is only the first step in getting justice. but these officers need to be terminated and charged for this unnecessary, unjustifiable killing of tamika's first born. >> reporter: just after midnight on march 13th, police used a battering ram to enter taylor's apartment, believed it was being used by a drug dealer to receive packages. while the plainclothed officers contend they identified themselves, taylor's boyfriend says they did not. and he opened fire to defend himself against what he thought were intruders. he later called 911 after taylor was shot at least eight times. >> she alert and able to talk to you? >> no, she's not. breathe! >> reporter: a newly released incident is mostly blank saying there was no forced entry and marked taylor's injuries as none. attorney lonita baker.

>> not a single officer has been charged. and, worse, not a single officer has been fired. >> how are you coping with everything? are you exhausted? >> i'm definitely exhausted. i hate doing this. but because of who my daughter was, i have to. because of what happened to her. she deserves justice. >> do you think she'll get justice? >> i pray she does. >> reporter: but for now, the family is grateful that taylor, who was an emergency medical technician, is being honored by louisville's lawmakers. >> she saved lives when she was here on earth, and she'll continue to save lives with breonna's law. >> say her name. breonna taylor. >> reporter: in the past, police have said they use these no-knock warrants to keep suspects from fleeing the scene, destroying evidence or firing at police officers. the mayor of louisville confirms he will sign this bill into law. as for that incident report,

that mostly blank incident report, police acknowledge those errors and now say they are working to correct them. vlad? >> some remarkable developments there in louisville. jericka, thank you. a california man suspected of targeting police during a two-day crime spree is dead after a manhunt ended with a shootout. police say 26-year-old mason lira shot a deputy and killed a homeless man wednesday. then wounded three more officers yesterday before he was shot and killed. jonathan vigliotti has been following this in paso robles, california. any word on a motive? >> good morning. the sheriff says there is no doubt this was an ambush. but at this point, the exact motive is unclear. that manhunt came to an end in this vineyard. the suspect's father saying that he had schizophrenia and was living in a fantasy world. >> the suspect was shot. >> reporter: that announcement

came after law enforcement swarmed the streets and the sky of paso robles, closing in on mason lira and killing him in a shootout thursday. >> unusual, frightening. it's unreal he's brought it to this town. >> reporter: the shooting spree began wednesday morning when he shut a sheriff's deputy in the head outside the police station and fled the scene. dreyfus is expected to recover. just blocks away, police found the body of a dead homeless man with a single gunshot to the head. they suspect lira was the killer. a manhunt ensued as officers scoured surrounding neighborhoods. and after lira was seen at a gas station early thursday. by around 2:00 p.m., police received another report of an officer shot. two hours later, gunfire erupted between lira and police. >> i've got two officers hit! >> reporter: officers hit and lira killed in the crossfire. >> zero movement on the suspect. zero movement.

>> reporter: lira's father said he had schizophrenia, asperger's and adhd but refused to take his medication and believed himself to be a special agent or soldier. in a report by the st. louis obispo tribune, he posted several odd writings and photographs of guns to his now deleted facebook page. >> do you think this was a random attack or targeted attack against laumtw enforcement? >> i have no doubt it was targeted and intended to kill law enforcement. >> reporter: lira was recently arrested for making criminal threats. that happened about two hours north of here in monterey. he was released from jail just last week. gayle? >> jonathan, thank you very much. very glad that officer has survived. ahead, removing racist history. the new symbols from the confederacy era and others that should not be celebrated.

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." this is a look at workers removing the johnny rebb statue that stood on top of a confederate monument in norfolk, virginia. the mayor says it will be relocated out of concern for public safety. protesters are tearing down and damaging memorials they say honors racist figures from history. chip reid is in richmond, another city where confederate monuments are under attack. good morning to you. i know this has been an issue there for years. >> oh, for a very long time. of course, richmond was the capital of the confederacy. so there are monuments like this

one. this one to robert e. lee. all over this town. politicians have spent years talking about doing something about it. maybe bringing them down, putting them in a museum or maybe just adding some context. but this week, protesters said we are tired of waiting. richmond residents celebrated thursday at the graffiti covered and long controversial statue of confederate general robert e. lee. >> all that down below is hundreds of years in the making. and all of the emotion and all the energy and all the passion that created that, it would be a shame to wipe that away. >> very empowering. not just for black people but for white people as well who want change. >> reporter: that call for change has hit the city's monuments hard, bringing down the statue of jefferson davis, the president of the confederacy and landing christopher columbus in a local lake. protesters took action across the country tearing down memorials to the country's

racist history leaving some officials to demand permanent removal. >> the american people know these names have to go. >> reporter: in congress, house speaker nancy pelosi's call to do away with confederate statues in the halls of the capitol met republican resistance. a bipartisan proposal advanced in the senate would begin the process of renaming about 10 military bases that honor confederate officers. president trump and some republican allies spoke out in opposition. >> the purpose was to erase from history, erase every person and name and event not righteous enough and to cast those who would object as defenders of the cause of slavery. >> why do we want to name or venerate people who fought to enslave other human beings? that's all we're saying. >> reporter: lecia brooks has helped identify more than 1700

confederate symbols still standing across the country and argues their removal is a powerful symbol. >> it's an opportunity for us to move forward and show members of the african-american community we hear you. we understand. we're doing something to be actively anti-racist. >> we've struggled to deal with this country's tortured racial history. >> reporter: julian hayter advised virginia to remove the memorials. >> we only generally tend to come around and discuss this country's racial problems in instances where there's trauma involved. perhaps we might not be here if we were willing to have these discussions when things seemed to be going normally. >> reporter: the southern poverty law center says about 140 confederate symbols have been removed since 2016. anthony, that pace is now accelerating greatly. >> yeah, the momentum is building, chip. you mentioned in your piece the push to rename military bases

around the country that are named for confederate war heroes. where does that stand, and why right now? >> well, i tell you. why? because of so much that is going on right now. but this is really surprising. it is really gaining some steam. the idea has been around for a very long time. it's being pushed primarily by elizabeth warren, liberal democrat of massachusetts. you might think republicans aren't going to agree with that, but republicans on the key senate committee have already said they'll go along. there are a couple of opponents, but it appears to be moving ahead. this effort would rename ten military bases. take a look at them. they include ft. benning in georgia, ft. hood in texas, and ft. bragg in north carolina. some very prominent bases. now democrats in the house strongly favor it. they say, after all, these men took up arms against the united states in favor of slavery. a big but, though. president trump has said he will veto any effort to do this. >> all right. chip reid in richmond, virginia.

and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpted shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

people are the south and the west side were left to fend for themselves. that police don't care if black and brown communities were looted and burned. >> chicago's fraternal order of police says the pictures are taken out of context. you know, congressman bobby rush, who's had associations with the chicago police going back to his days as a black panther, was really strong on this, anthony. he basically said, look, they were using my microwave to make my popcorn and sitting on my couch. very disrespectful. >> yeah. they were there for four to five hours, vlad. they got up and made coffee for themselves, they were napping on that couch. and there were three supervisors involved. so i don't know -- those pictures are pretty strong. what else have you got? >> yep. >> okay. cbs and walgreens are on a -- cvs and walgreens are a growing list of stores that will lock up

beauty and hair products made for black women. videos started resurfacing showing multicultural hair care and beauty products on locked cases. wednesday walmart wouit would b the policy in dozens of its stores saying like other retailers it installed the lock cases to prevent shoplifting. gayle, this isn't the first time i've heard this and wondered about this. people have been talking about this for years, why those products are behind a locked case. >> i have seen that, vlad. it's insulting. it's just another reason why people are upset about the inequalities. it's sort of like the death by a thousand cuts. that's just another example of that. what have you got that's new in the sports world? let's move on to good news. >> yes. this is potentially some very welcome news. there are possible new developments in colin kaepernick's football career. as you all know he hasn't played a game since the 2016 season when he started kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial

injustice. now seahawks coach pete carroll says he got a call from an nfl team about the ex-49ers quarterback. carroll wouldn't say which team. he also says he regrets not signing kaepernick back in 2017. >> you look back, i felt like i missed the opportunity. so as i look back at it, i wish we could have figured it out and known what we know now and given him the chance. because, you know, i would love to see him play football. >> coach, we would all love to see colin kaepernick playing football. he says he's staying in shape for that very reason. also this -- the nfl is pledging $250 million over a ten-year period to battle systemic racism. that follows commissioner roger goodell's statement last week condemning racism, saying black lives matter, anthony. very important there. >> yeah. and colin kaepernick can't get those years back. there's nothing nay can do to give him these years of playing back. and as you pointed out every time we touch the nfl, niece still without a job, gayle.

>> and he's still been working out, staying in shape, getting ready -- he says that he's ready to play. people say, well, he had the opportunity and that didn't work out. things are different. things are different now. a lot of people would love to see him back on the field. i hope that works out. >> yeah. ahead, our dr. david agus will explain what's driving the alarming spike in coronavirus cases and how to protect yourself coming up on "cbs this morning." stay with us. imagine if we ever got to meet.

it's friday, june 12th, 2020, n. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king and anthony mason. coronavirus rising as the numbers go up in many states. we'll ask why and whether officials should rethink reopening. >> full court press. we'll talk with the l.a. clip r clippers chairman. kristen bell on how all americans can help fight racism. >> we can do that. first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00.

the coronavirus pandemic may be on the rise even in parts of the countr spared the worst of the crisis until now. arizona's governor admitted the rate of infection is going the wrong direction, but he says stay at home orders are not under consideration. >> some african american lawmakers object to a rally. they also object to the location. >> they use the no knock warrants to keep suspects from fleeing the seen, destroying evidence or firing at police officers. the mayor confirms he'll sign the bill. >> the sheriff says it was an ambush. at this point the exact motive is unclear. the suspect's father saying he had schizophrenia and was living in a fantasy world. they scored a major victory. nascar banned the display of the confederate flag at the races and tracks.

nascar is getting more progress i have. i guess i shouldn't be surprised. all they do is turn left. welcome back to "cbs this morning." stephen colbert feeling proud of himself about that one. this has been a big issue. it's a big decision for the nascar. >> yes. and as we've talked -- >> we're going to begin. >> some things are being recovered right now -- reconsidered right now. >> yes, and i say that's a good thing. >> a new surge in coronavirus cases as the total reported number now stands at more than 2 million nationwide. yesterday south carolina and florida announced their highest daily coronavirus cases totals to date. arizona has seen the average daily cases nearly triple over the last two weeks and since monday, texas has had the four worst days so far for coronavirus hospitalizations.

vlad? >> the latest data shows at least 14 states have seen spikes in coronavirus hospitalizations since memorial day. a new university of washington model often cited by the white house is projecting nearly 1 170,000 co-vid deaths by october 1st. it says we could also see 1,000 deaths per day by the start of october with major daily increases through september. >> yeah. and some models have that number going even higher. we are joined by our medical contributor, dr. david agus. health experts were forecasting and anticipating this as the country reopened. what do we do to keep the numbers down and should some places reconsider reopening further? >> you know, it's going to be hard to reconsider opening. we've been indoors for a long time. we need to change our way of life. if there one thing we could do

to decrease the spread is wear a mask. we have to create a new social norm, wearing a mask. in countries like japan, it's no big deal. here this is a big deal, and we're expected the least affected to step up to help others. and that's new for our country. >> david, there's been a lot of concern that the widespread protests could contribute to a spike. what do we know about that? is there any evidence that's happening? >> yeah. i think we're -- we're seeing little bits of it now. we're going to see more of it over the days to come. many at the rallies were at the 20 and 30-year-olds. they're going to go home and bring it to people in their households, mothers and grandfathers and next door neighbor. that's what we worry about. i don't worry about the 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds. they're not getting very sick in general q but they can spread it to others and the spike in hospitalizations is going to

continue to rise over the next several days as a result of the protests. it's not just in the big cities. people wept from small towns to participate in larger towns and back to their hometown. we're going to see spread in smaller towns that weren't spread before. >> should they quarantine after being at a protest, david? >> i don't think they should quarantine. i think it's a little aggressive at this point to do that. but i think they should all wear a mask. they need to drop the spread of droplets from one person to another. we have a new way of life the next months until the vaccine comes. everybody knew what to do during the lockdown. the first inning, we were good at it. but the second inning is fuzzy. we need to behave differently. and wearing a mask is different. it's not in our dna to focus on others, but we need to. >> you mentioned the vaccine. what's the latest on developments in vaccine? >> well, i'm smiling. i think that the data so far in

the lead candidates is encouraging. so i really think there's a possibility that in early fall we'll have vaccine candidates for health care workers and the highest risk individuals and more as the supply increases. but the data is looking encouraging. there haven't been backwards steps and that's exciting. >> that's very good news. all right. doctor, thank you. ♪ for years, i thought i was lactose intolerant.

nba nb superstar lebron james is teaming up with other athletes to protect the lives of black americans in this country. the initiative is called more than a vote. it will help black americans cast a ballot in november and the athletes and entertainers involved will use their social media to call out voter suppression, it's a problem. players on the los angeles clippers are also you've using social media to fight racism. they released this video on monday. steve ballmer is the chairman of the team and he joins us from

seattle to discuss. so many issues. steve ballmer, so it's good to see you. i know head coach doc rivers is also involved in initiatives. this is a matter that involves both of you and the team. can you take us inside conversations with the team you're having about rights now. good to see you. >> nice to see you, gayle. thanks for having me. we've been having a number of interesting conversations. doc and i sat down with our clipper players earlier this week and it was interesting. it was a chance certainly for me to learn. we've had other team functions where i've also had chances to learn. right now our players are saying, number one is they want to be involved in educating the white community on their life experiences to help people be smarter and better able to contribute to eliminating the kind of racism that makes their lives so very difficult.

the other thing i'll add, people assume because these are professional athletes that, frankly, everything is okay in their lives and they say, look, you take a uniform off, you know, you're right back in the mix with other black men. >> we all know that's true. i'm curious, you said an opportunity for you to learn. what did you learn that you didn't know before? >> i think the degree to which the smallest things in life, the smallest things in life, can cause a negative interaction for a black person in an interaction with the police is probably the thing that i would underscore the most from our discussions and talk. you know, we all know, there's

disproportionality, more african-americans grow up in poverty than is true for would it people. the severity of that poverty, what it looks like is just different. if you just look at the incarceration rates, for the poorest 20% of whites versus the poorest 20% of black people. 20% of poor black males are incarcerated. it's only 6% for white people. that's numbers steve talking but when you hear our players talk about their families and their neighborhoods, that comes out. >> yeah, listen, i think it's great that you know this information or are making an effort to know more about it. i heard you say you were sad and you were angry after the police murder of george floyd. many people felt that way. i want to know specifically from you, why were you sad and why were you angry? it's hit people in many different ways. >> i was sad because, you know,

this family and this man saw this most senseless of murders. look, that family's going to be reliving that for all time. and so for the family of mr. floyd and, of course, for mr. floyd himself, sadness. anger? look, it is maddening to me that not more has been done. people like me and others haven't been able to contribute more. it is maddening to me -- i mean, the behavior of that officer, oh, my gosh, that's just not -- i mean, i say it's not okay. it's awful. it's terrible. what am i supposed to do other than just be engaged, gayle? that's my reaction of anger. there's plenty of other reactions, but those are primary. >> you said, steve, something you said, people like me. i want to talk about people like

you because you have called other white ceos out saying they need to stand up and take action. what's your message to them and what's the reaction to your words about that, calling them to task, so to speak? >> i would say my number one message to any white people at this stage is, there's an invitation that is clear now and call to action, which is -- to try to be an ally of these causes. that's the issue. how do you be an ally of breaking down racism and the legacies that come all the way back from slavery. what do you do? as a leader, are you galvanizing your people, take resources, encouraging volunteerism, taking stands on certain legal issues. what is the ceo doing on behalf of the company and what are they doing if not to encourage their

employees to take a specific action, just educate people on the issue. let people know more. yes, let them have the dialogue, yes. but then point your employees to places in which they can act, they can make a difference through their actions. understand more and then act. ceos have a -- let's call it a bully pulpit on which they can deliver that message to their employees. not telling them exactly what to do, but showing them the range of options. >> part of, i think, the frustration, when we look at the numbers. michael jordan is the only black owner in the nba. there's over 30 owners total. i don't know the exact number. why do you think that is and what needs to be done to change that? >> well, i'm going to correct you on one thing, gayle, because it's one of the things my player said the other day, which is important. i may have bought the equity in

the l.a. clippers, but i am the chairman of the l.a. clippers. that is my title. >> fair enough. >> i'm not trying -- but it was important to our players. that's why i thought i would underscore it. >> fair enough. >> when you think about, what does it take? now we're talking about wealth creation. i've been unbelievably blessed and i was allowed to purchase a basketball team. great for me. how do we give that kind of economic upside to more african-americans? if you look at economic mobility data, it's not very good for african-americans, and particularly for african-american males. the chances you move up economically from the bottom 20% to top 20%, it's 11%. that's not bad, for whites. it's not great. that same number is 2% for blacks. it's ridiculous.

it means investment in the communities, it means investment in early childhood education, it means working on the schools, it means improving the safety of the environment and the role of the police in those environments. it means getting people into college. you have to make that whole pipeline of investments, at least that's what we've been seeing, that's what we've been hearing, seeing and that's where we've been putting our resources. i can't say it will all work, but the smart people who are out there telling me, these are the areas in which we can help contribute financially to improve lives, financial lives. >> now the word is that the nba is going back to the court. people are very excited about that. can you just give us a little detail about how that's going to work? >> well, you know, gayle, i let

the nba office speak on our behalf. there's a number of things they have certainly shared and i know the league office is going to be really focused on a few things. number one, can we do this safely? there's new health news coming all the time on covid. number two, if we're going to do this, i know our players and our -- the teams, everybody -- the league, everybody wants to make sure it gets done in a way that is super respectful to the times we're living in from a racial injustice perspective. i know the league and our players association, one of the good things about the nba is there's a very tight partnership between the league and teams and players and that's being worked through. >> yeah. i just heard, steve, it's july 22nd. we had a story on the news on this broadcast earlier about the unrest in your city of seattle. what's your take on what's happening there and how it's being handled?

>> well, you know, if you had said to me that this would be a hotbed of activity, i would have said no, seattle is -- i wouldn't call it a sleepy town, but this is not los angeles. this is not my hometown of detroit. i would say first, i'm happy to see the level of activism we've seen in seattle. i don't know if the issue is that our police force has been, perhaps, less well trained because of less activity dealing with these issues. you know, i was watching a video of a confrontation that broke out and i think it's the kind of thing that needs to be studied as police talk about police reform, which could be a very good thing. not an area i'm an expert in but the seattle experience tells me i better lerp about it. >> yeah. it's an ongoing conversation. we thank you, steve ballmer, chairman, whatever your title. you're still a bad ass and a

really good guy. really doing good work. people should know that about you. thank you for your time this morning. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.

authorities believed that the 32-year-old is link today the shooting death of a federal officer in oakland. san francisco mayor is putting forward a set of goals for reforming the city's police department. it includes removing officers from noncriminal situations and replaces them with trained and unarmed professionals. today is barts ride of the san jose extension. it's going kick off at 10:00 this morning. a ride to the station for another rick bonn cutting. the

station opens up to the public tomorrow. and take a look at the roadways right now. we're easing up nicely for this friday. not seeing me delays on the san may toe wrote bridge. we had an earlier accident, and that's being cleared out of the lanes and no delays there. bay bridge were turned on and then off. on for an hour and a half delays. you have the cars making the drive in to san francisco. overall, it's an easy ride and then the golden gate bridge is cleared in both directions. mary. cooler across the bay area as we're looking to the flow coming in. the breezy conditions as we head through the afternoon. mid 60s in san francisco and upper 60s in oakland and mid 70s for san jose. still cool and still breezy for tomorrow. high pressure is building in on

sunday and warming well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. people think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. that's absolutely 100% wrong. the home is ours. we can sell it if we want to at any time. i like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. you're responsible for keeping up your property taxes and you're responsible for paying your insurance on the property. for us, it was a security blanket. the value of our house, was to fund our long-term health care. for years, reverse mortgage funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. they know the importance of having financial security. make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. it's a good thing. access your equity. stay in your home. have peace of mind.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring you some stories that are the talk of the table this morning. this is a time we each pick a story we like to share with each other and is all of you. anthony mason, you get to go first. >> it's an honor. i know we've all been cooped up during the pandemic, and we've all been looking for ways to express ourselves, and i love how this woman that we found expresses herself. she's tonya ruiz, a california grandmother. she's become a hit on instagram for her funny quarantine barbie creations showing how the iconic doll might live during the pandemic. so there is bread-baking barbie,

covered in flour and has plenty of ingredients. she's done a lot of baking including sourdough and bow n a banana bread. there's the home school edition, with kids snacks. ruiz says her favorite is, what time is it barbie, which has deep circles under her eyes. her instagram page is called, grandma gets real. she's actual by been making parody barbies for a long time. she photographs them. she doesn't sell them. she makes them for fun and photographs them and it's her comedic commentary on the pandemic. she's making essential worker barbies and hero barbies, too, but they're a lot of fun. gayle? >> bravo to her. whatever it takes to get you through the day. we're all looking for something to do. mine is about the sew parr sopr

creator of the hit show, which accidentally confirms what really happened to tony soprano. the controversial finale that aired 13 years ago this week. remember this ♪ don't stop believing ♪ don't stop >> boy, i remember that night. fans were left hanging when the show abruptly just faded to black with us all going, what happened? in an interview for a book about the show, creator david chase refers to that scene as a death scene, which confirms tony was murdered. he walks it back saying there are different interpretations on the ending. he worked on it for two years. he did call it the death scene. i remember when david chase came to the show to promote something else and i was talking to him in the green room because people were split on it. i said, david, i don't know.

i want to know. he said, how would you have ended it? i went, uh. he goes, exactly. after that i said, whatever you want to do, mr. chase. everybody has a brighted in until they say, what would you do it? i found it interesting he called it the death scene and then tried to walk it back. for me that's clarity. vlad? >> yeah, yeah, slip of the tongue there that probably answered a question that a lot of people had on their minds, gayle. so, my story is about something that everybody is talking about. and some people are calling it a lesson. comedian dave schapelle had searing comments about the death of george floyd in a netflix special that streamed last night. he performed last weekend in front of an audience in ohio. the special is called "846". >> this man kneeled on a man's

neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. can you imagine that? this kid thought he was going to die. he knew he was going to die. he called for his mother. he called for his dead mother. i've only seen that once before in my life, my father on his death bed called for his grandmother. when i watched that tape, i understood this man knew he was going to die. >> you know, this is not a comedy routine. this is a very serious comment he has on where we are in america today called "8:46" because it references, of course, the amount of time officer chauvin had his knee on george floyd's neck before he killed him. something else he reveals in this special, 8:46 is the time he was born. i's the time listed on his birth certificate. he said he supports the

protesters. this is already 650,000 views on youtube. >> yep. and i'm going -- i will be looking at that later today. that was such a primal thing that he called for his mother because your mother is your ultimate protector. boy, i can't wait to see that. switching gears, over her two decade long career, kristen bell has appeared in dozens of movies and tv shows and now the star is speaking up about how white people should support the black community. everyone is talking about the death and murder of george floyd. she's teaching the next generation to use their voice in her book "the world needs more purple people" and the goal is to bring people together. a timely message as people gather in peaceful protests nationwide. we spoke to kristen before the video was made public but before the protests. >> there are people suffering more than others. it is not equal. and it's uncomfortable for

everyone, but i do know the more allies everyone has, there wouldn't be this division of this is african-american, this is white, these are these problems, these are those. they're human problems. we need to learn how to help speak up for each other. >> i talked to ava and i asked her, what should i say to people that want to be better allies? she said, that's a question for white people because black people need to save their energy for to survival and thriving. you seem to be, based on the posts i've seen, where you said, white people do something, what do you mean by that? >> i think we're all looking for answers right now. i didn't know for a while what i meant when i posted that, and it was only hours later, after i was continuing to think about it because black americans don't get to have one conversation about this and forget it. they don't have that privilege. it is happening all the time, all around them. >> yes.

>> and sometimes it feels like when these videos come out there's this great groundswell of support but it feels like it fades away. it does not fade away for black americans. this is why white americans need to choose to keep it at the forefront of their mind. i think we need to stop acting shocked when we see a video like this. it's not shocking anymore. i think we also need to remind ourselves, it's not going to be fixed by a social media post alone. these conversations need to be brought into white dinner tables and we as white people need to hold other white people accountable for their conduct. >> actress kristen bell is not afraid to speak up on issues that matter. most kids know her as ana, from disney's frozen franchise and now co-authored a new children's book that encourages young people to find their voices. >> you may be asking yourself,

why in the whole wide world would i want to be purple? >> the book is called "the world needs more purple people." the mother of two says she hopes kids will see we have more in common than meets the eye. >> it occurred to us that all of the kids absorb the conversations adults have. you're wrong because of this, no, i heard this. we thought, wow, if we were a little person, a sponge just absorbing that, is that really the full picture? we thought, we need to find a way to put this idea into a kids' book to get into their brains, look towards other human beings. don't think immediately other people are your enemies. >> purple is a magic color when red and blue work together. i think all the best things in the world are purple. >> being a purple person means what? >> well, being a purple person, we chose five characteristics in

this book that no one can argue are great characteristics, which is being a super duper hard worker, laughing a lot, asking really great questions, using your voice and not losing your voice, being uniquely yourself. >> kristen, after reading your book i'm thinking, everybody should want to be a purple person. >> we have this idea, right, how do we get people to look towards sameness first. you can disagree with as many people as you want. as long as you're identifying, you have more in common than differences. but how do we create a label that's exciting that doesn't leave anyone out? that's really tricky, because you're either a doctor or you're not a doctor, right? it always leaves someone out. we like to say, purple people come in every color. >> you're also saying, differences are okay and differences are a good thing, too. >> absolutely. i can have a heat debate with my husband and we can disagree and, perhaps, even open each other's

minds. i just wanted to create some language and a social narrative they could follow. >> why do you think it is so uncomfortable for people? why is race so uncomfortable, because it is? >> i think it's fear. i think it's -- and i'm not saying that's warranted fear, by the way. i'm making no excuses for it. i think fear causes people to react insanely. and we have to raise the next generation to not succumb to the same fears we did. there's just no other option. >> listen, she didn't plan the timing, but i certainly think it takes on a more added meaning in the time we're living in. the world needs more purple people on sale wherever you like to buy your books. it's already number one on the best
