7:02 am
>> president trump is going forward with his planned rally in tulsa despite a surge in new covid-19 cases. >> we're not requiring people to wear masks? >> they'll be given a mask. it's up to them whether to make that decision. cdc guidelines are recommended but not required. >> disneyland shanghai has reopened. >> all that -- >> we kick off the premier league returned to action for the first time since march. before the start, solidarity. every player on the pitch took a knee. >> the scene all around the world. everyone against racists. >> and all that matters. >> they are changing the name and logo for aunt jemima because they recognize her origins are based on a racial stereotype. >> after 130 years, it is officially time to pour one out for aunt jemima. >> on cbs this morning. >> don't worry. i put pancakes on the floor. >> the justice department is suing bolton for breaching his
7:03 am
nondisclosure agreement. experts are calling the lawsuit one of the most extreme attempts to stop a former trump adviser from recounting his experience. we turn to cbs legal analyst walter. >> the supreme court has rejected -- >> thank you for your anal sirks wa analysis, waltzer. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." >> i haven't seen walter in the building. i need to look for him when we go back sooner rather than later. >> safe to say the president and john bolton won't be having lunch any time soon. have you seen walter in the building? >> no, no. i'm a lebowsky, he's a lebowsk, but we haven't seen each nrtoth in a long time. >> that's where we begin. we're talking about john bolton's very startling claims
7:04 am
in his new memoir about president trump and the white house. cbs news has obtained a copy of "the room where it happened." the president tried to get china's president to help him win re-election. bolton also says mr. trump engaged in a pattern of behavior that, quote, looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life. tony? >> and now the justice department is asking a federal judge for an emergency order to block the book's publication claiming it will damage national security. the book has already been shipped to book sellers and is due to go on sale tuesday. bolton's publisher, simon & schuster, a division of viacom cbs calls the government lawsuit frivolous and politically motivated. paula reid is at the white house for us. good morning. what is the president saying about all of this? >> good morning, tony. in an interview last night, the president dismissed bolton as a liar. but his last-minute efforts by the administration to block the release of this book have not
7:05 am
prevented it from landing in the hands of over half a dozen reporters. now bolton refused to voluntarily participate in impeachment proceedings, but in this book, he says the president should have been investigated for matters far beyond ukraine. and he details multiple instances where he believes the president put his own interests ahead of the country's. in the nearly 600-page book obtained by cbs news, former national security adviser john bolton provides a detailed criticism of the trump administration from inside high-level meetings. he describes the president as erratic and stunningly uninformed. including one instance where mr. trump asked if finland was part of russia. in an interview with fox news wednesday night, the president had his own accusations against bolton. >> terrible, terrible thing that he did. but he broke the law. very simple. i mean, as much as it's going to be broken. this is highly classified. >> reporter: in a late-night tweet, the president called bolton's book made up of lies
7:06 am
and fake stories. describing the events that resulted in the impeachment inquiry, bolton write trump wasn't in favor of sending ukraine anything until all the russia investigation materials related to clinton and biden had been turned over. and in another episode that bears striking similarities, bolton recounts how the president asked china to buy a lot of american agricultural products to help him win farm states in 2020. >> there's nobody ever been tough on china like i've been tough on china. >> reporter: in 2016, president trump ran on a platform of being tough on china, but bolton describes him pleading with xi to ensure he'd win. bolton argues these events should have been investigated by congress and could have provided a greater chance to persuade others that high crimes and misdemeanors had been perpetrated. but bolton refused to voluntarily participate in impeachment proceedings. democrats called the new details stunning but saved their harshest criticism for bolton.
7:07 am
>> curious to me that now he has something to say when he could have stepped forward as a patriot when the stakes were high and the president was on trial, and he ran and hid in the other direction. >> thank you, john bolton, for being the firefighter that shows up to the building that's already burned with a fire hose and saying, i'm here to help. >> reporter: bolton offered to participate in the senate proceedings but only if subpoenaed. and senate republicans blocked that option. now some republicans, like representative gates, are dismissing bolton as a disgruntled employee who has an ax to grind. anthony? >> paula, thank you. cbs news chief washington correspondent major garrett joins us from the nation's capital. major, good morning. as national security adviser bolton took very detailed notes in realtime. what stood out to you the most in this book? >> well, the political argument is going to be about china because the trump campaign has already started attacks against joe biden, presumptive
7:08 am
democratic nominee as weak on china. and bolton's comments about the sense trump has about the direction of his administration with china will be politically damaging in the immediate aftermath of this book. other parts of this book reinforce things written by other authors but john bolton is not omarosa. john bolt an is not anonymous. he was a national security adviser. worked closely with the president and all his national security team day after day after day. and it's worth remembering, he auditioned for this job for more than a year on fox news and persuaded the president to hire him because he believed the president really had an america first national security foreign policy agenda. one of the things that comes across in this book is bolton's estrangement from trump after he realized that really wasn't what the president was most interested in. according to bolton, it was only anything that benefited president trump, not necessarily the united states or its long-term national security interests. >> as paula pointed out, major, half a dozen
7:09 am
this is a cbs news special report. i'm anthony mason in new the supreme court just decided the future of a federal program that protects more than 600,000 people brought to the u.s. illegally as children. the court has ruled in favor of the so-called daca program. jan crawford read the high court's ruling. what are the justices say? a 5-4 decision with justice roberts siding with the liberal wing. what did they say? >> reporter: you have several justices writing differently and joining parts of the opinion. the chief justice, the conservative chief justice has written this opinion joined in full by several of the liberal justices to decide that daca recipients, hundreds of thousands of people who are brought here as children are entitled to the protections of the law, that the obama
7:10 am
administration extended to them. the trump administration, of course, tried to rescind the daca program and open up these people to threat of deportation. but the supreme court today in a lingy ruling with multiple opinions by other justices decided that the trump administration basically went about it the wrong way. that they didn't explain their reasoning, so it's not a broad decision, yet it does remove the immediate threat of deportation for these hundreds of thousands of people who came here as children. and it also leaves this issue open now for the trump administration to assuming that they're going -- it's going to be in office for awhile to go back at it again and try to rescind it again. and it also puts this issue back into the hands of congress, of course, the obama administration implemented daca because congress failed to act. they wrote lengthy legal opinions then janet napolitano
7:11 am
explaining why the president had legal authority, president obama, to implement the daca program and as we saw, 600,000 or 700,000 people who came here under ages 16 with no criminl records, at least graduated from high school or were veterans were able to take part in this program to get work permits and basically stay in this country without that immediate threat of deportation. when the trump administration tried to rescind it, you saw multiple states, california, new york, here in the district of columbia file lawsuits saying that that rescission was unlawful because they didn't go about it according to the right procedures that is a decision. the supreme court has now led by the conservative chief justice who, again, has surely a decision that will disappoint many conservatives has joined with some liberals for this majority, tony. it is a surprising outcome. i just must say coming on the heels of the major ruling on
7:12 am
monday, again, with conservatives joining liberals, the conservative chief justice joining liberals in that ruling on whether or not gays, lesbians, transgender people can be, you know, basically fired for their sexual orientation or gender identity now we have another decision today written by the conservative chief justice rejecting arguments by the trump administration. >> jan, is it a surprise to have justice roberts siding with the liberal justices on this? >> reporter: i would say, no, not completely, because the chief justice has, you know, sided with liberals in some of these major cases before, like i said on monday, in the gay rights case involving on the job discrimination, remember obamacare, the first where he sided with liberals to preserve that signature achievement of president obama, so i would say it's not necessarily a surprise, but, again, other justices see this in the same way he does today. >> yeah, all right.
7:13 am
jan, jan crawford, thank you very much from our washington bureau on the supreme court's decision on the daca program. our coverage women continue on our 24-hour streaming network cbs and can you watch it at cbsnews.com or onour cbs news app. there will be more to come on your local news on this cbs station and tonight on "the cbs evening news" with norah o'donnell. many of you will return thousand to "cbs this morning." this has been a cbs news special report. i'm anthony mason, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: for news, 24 hours efore his death, ryshard brooks was very candid about his struggle with the justice system that he believed was unfair and cruel. >> i'm rayshard brooks. 27 years of age. i have three kids. you know, i'm happily married. now i need somewhere to stay -- >> he was speaking with the representatives of reconnect, a
7:14 am
tech start-up focused on criminal justice reform. brooks spent nearly four months behind bars at that time after pleading guilty to charges, including false imprisonment in 2014. he was later sentenced to a year in prison for credit card fraud. he spoke about his incarceration and the impact on being on parole on his mental state. >> i want, you know, things to be better, you know, within probation and parole and also monitoring. i just feel like some of the system could, you know, look at us as individuals. we do have lives, you know. it's just a mistake we made. and, you know, not just do us as if we are animals. you know, lock us away or lock -- monitor them. i feel like it should be a way for you to have some kind of person, like a mentor assigned to you to keep your track -- keep you in the direction you need to be going.
7:15 am
i'm not the type of person to give up. you know, and i am going to keep going until i make it to where i want to be. >> boy, brooks said he was paying his, quote, debt to society and that he hoped he could soon make up for some lost time. tony, i watched the whole thing. it's worth taking a look at because you get to see him as a human being. he admits he made some mistakes. the problem is with men of color when you're sentenced on parole, let the punishment fit the crime. quite often the punishment doesn't fit the crime and any interaction with police while on parole means you're going back to prison. and that's why there's some speculation from people that knew him that maybe that's why he resisted when they put the handcuffs on because he didn't want to go back to prison as he's turning his life around. you get to see him as a human being and that's why it's so important for people to see this tape, tony. >> yeah, i think it's an important point. just seeing those few seconds we
7:16 am
just showed, he's a vibrant presence, and clearly missed by his family. i think about the video that we just saw, the expanded video of the officers and the testimony. alleging after he was shot, he was kicked and the officer said, i got him. it calls to mind this warrior mentality we hear about in police departments. and that's inconsistent with long-term community relations. that's something people are looking at right now, gayle. >> uh-huh. >> i was struck, gayle and tony, by his request essentially that there's more mentorship for people coming out of prison. >> me, too. >> he talked a lot in that interview about how you -- how alone you feel when you are trying to put your life back together and that while they watch you, they don't really help you. and that really struck me. all right. tulsa, oklahoma -- >> anthony, anthony, before you go to break. >> sorry, gayle, yeah. >> i was going to say before you go to break, i know the delay is a little dicey. he was 27, and the officer who
7:17 am
shot him was also 27. both very young men starting their lives. >> yeah. >> it all came down to one critical moment. all right. turning to tulsa, oklahoma. the city expects 100,000 people this weekend for president trump's campaign rally and the city's juneteeth celebration. the state is activating up to 250 national guard troops to help with security while local officials worry about all those people spreading the coronavirus. omar villafranca is in tulsa outside the arena where the president will hold his first rally in more than three months. omar, quite a big crowd gathering in that city, isn't there? >> good morning. there is. the crowd is behind me and they're starting to stack up. it's several dozen people here. they're starting to camp out and that's a concern. because here in tulsa county, they've seen a spike in cases with people in the age group of 18 to 34.
7:18 am
obviously, that's a big concern. of course, with the president's rally and the counterprotests and juneteeth celebrations this weekend, they are expecting a lot of people in that age group. now oklahoma is one of 18 states that has seen an increase in cases in nearby texas, hospitalizations are up 85% since memorial day. arizona's seven-day average rate of positive tests is over 17%. that's nearly four times the national average. the trump campaign is requiring ticket holders to sign a waiver saying they'll not sue if they contract the coronavirus. and before they go into the center behind me they'll have their temperatures taken, given sanitizer and a mask but it's not mandatory to wear that mask inside. tony? >> all right, omar, thank you very much. ahead -- how the heated debate over whether to wear a face mask has become a new marker of divisions in our

"cbs sunday morning's" lee cowan is in los angeles. good to see you on a thursday. good morning to you. here's a question -- why have masks become such a divisive issue? >> probably because they're the most visible thing. they're a constant reminder that we're in the middle of this pandemic. and although they may just be a little piece of cloth, we add the fact that we're five months

signs reminding people to distance, and plexiglass barriers at the check-in counter and at the hotel bar. this marriott is testing a uv sanitizer for room keys and encouraging the use of an app-based digital key. seating in the restaurant is limited. same goes for the pool. and gone for now is the buffet, replaced by individually packaged grab and go. hotel gyms are going to change, too. the exercise bikes, separated by plexiglass. if you want to get on an elliptical or treadmill, watch the signs because you can only use every other machine. >> we know that guests believe quite reasonably that they can control their interactions with people in a hotel. once you've gotten into your guest room, are you in your own space. so the challenge for us is one we think we can meet which is can we deliver a room that the guests can have confidence in t's clean. >> reporter: this month hilton is teaming with the mayo clinic and lysol to roll out its clean stay. which like marriott, it's focused on wiping down touch points. they'll mark cleaned rooms with
7:42 am
stickers sealing the door. sandals and beaches resorts are also using the foggers, focusing on cleaning 18 common touch points throughout the hotel and using uv l.e.d. lights to inspect rooms for cleanliness. 64% of travelers in a recent survey said improved cleaning practices will significantly impact their decision to stay at a hotel. >> whether you're an airline or hotel, you're building your brand on how well you clean. >> it's what people care about right now. cleanliness, sanitation, hygiene. these are rebuilding blocks for the hotels as they rebuild confidence among consumers to stay with them. >> reporter: people like yosef assefa who came from l.a. to visit his mother. did you have any worry about staying at a hotel? >> i didn't. i would assume people don't come to the hotels or are traveling as much. >> reporter: he's right. marriott says book regulars down 70% to 75%, but that the numbers are improving week over week. still, the company expects it will be two to three years before they see a complete

7:48 am
be changes in terms of what you can put on top of it as vlad duthiers's got in "what to watch." can you help me explain? >> hey, good to see you, tony. you never change, and i'll never change. we're working from home like so many other americans, and while we're working from home, we're taking a look at some of the stories that we think you'll be talking about including as tony mentioned the growing number of food companies are phasing out images rooted in slavery and african-american oppression. in response to recent anti-racism protests. uncle ben's owner, mars foods, plans to evolve the rice maker's brand identity while conagra, makers of aunt jemima syrup and cream of wheat, they've got two of them, conducting a review of their packaging. quaker oats already announced it will retire aunt jemima from store shelves, acknowledging the character was based on a racist stereotype. gayle, people may not know this, but the original aunt jemima was based on a real person. her name was nancy green, a former slave, born in 1834.
7:49 am
sales went through the roof when she became the brand ambassador. since her death in 1923, the logo has changed six times. >> wow. i actually didn't know that her name was nancy green. i do know as a kid i lived in turkey, and in elementary school a little white child called me aunt jemima. i didn't know what it meant. but i knew it probably was not a good thing. that said, i've got aunt jemima and mrs. butterworth now. i'm thinking what took us so long. what took us so long to make that change? i'm glad this is happening. glad this is happening. what have you got -- what else have you got, something about soccer? >> that's right. and to the point that you just made, gayle, about change. soccer players in england's premier league are showing support for the black lives movement. they resumed the soap three months after the coronavirus put it on hold with no fans. players, officials, and staff took a knee after the opening whistle was blown. players wore the phrase "black
7:50 am
lives matter" on the back of their jerseys instead of their names. we told you last week how u.s. soccer required people to stand during the national anthem. the nfl is encouraging peaceful protests. black lives matter has become a global movement. >> it has. it's remarkable. it's hard to over emphasize how big a deal that league is in europe. and globally. and remarkably, there has not been the kind of backlash that we've seen in this country with even more minor demonstrations. so it's a fascinating discrepancy there. i think it's worth reflecting on why it's so controversial here, and then there with an even bigger and more global league, you hear less blow-back culturally and from political figures. fascinating thing to ponder. what else you got? something fun we can dip into? >> exactly. only on cbs, harry connick jr. pays tribute to the frontline workers who are keeping us safe during the pandemic. the singer and his daughter, georgia, who's a filmmaker, took
7:51 am
a 1,300-mile roadtrip to personally thank essential workers risking their lives every single day. here's what they told me -- >> the trucker, sanitation workers, elementary school teachers, people who do things to make our lives better, who don't get all the appreciation that we think they deserve. we are sending the message that we cannot do it without you. you are essential. and you are a hero. and we admire you infinitely. >> they even surprised the workers with virtual messages, guys, from celebrities like jamie foxx, oprah winfrey, sandra bullock. you can catch the two-hour special "united we sing," a grammy tribute to unsung heroes, this sunday at 8:00, 7:00 central on cbs. there's going to be tons of musical performances including the connicks told me john fogerty singing "proud mary" on a river boat while literal rolling on the river. >> wow. i heard about that.

8:01 am
baby. >> first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. former national security adviser john bolton's startling claims in his memoir about president trump and the white house. the justice department is asking a federal judge for an emergency order to block the book's publication claiming it will damage national security. two atlanta police officers charged in a death of rayshard brooks have until 6:00 tonight to turn themselves in. >> tulsa oklahoma expects 1 100,000 people for president trump's campaign rally and the city's june teenth campaign. the nation's top epidemiologist was asked if we would attend the upcoming rally in tulsa. he replied no. adding that when it came to
8:02 am
trump's rallies, outside is better than inside. no crowd is better than crowd, and crowd is better than big crowd. and if the president needs any visual reference for what an outside not big crowd looks like, it's this. you were ahead of your time, sir. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm just going to go with you asked dr. anthony fauci would you go and his answer is no, i'm going to stick with that. >> yeah. >> yeah, but there are people from all over the country traveling to tulsa for that rally and they are concerned about the health situation there. >> a big deal. >> it is. we start with this. a new book from president trump's former national security adviser claims the president has repeatedly acted to put his own interests ahead of the country's. "cbs this morning" has obtained a copy of john bolton's memoir, the room where it happened. in it bolton says the president did tie military aid to ukraine
8:03 am
to investigations of his political opponents as democrats alleged during his impeachment trial. bolton told abc news, he does not think president trump is a strong enough leader to handle russia's president. >> how would you describe trump's relationship with vladimir putin? >> i think putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle. i think putin is smart, tough. i think he sees that he's not faced with a serious adversary here. i don't think he's worried about donald trump. >> well, it's dueling interviews. in an interview last night the president called bolton a liar and the justice department is now suing to block the book from going on sale this tuesday saying it contains classified information. the publisher which happens to be simon & schuster calls the
8:04 am
lawsuit frivolous. >> a lot of people have lots to say about this book, tony. adam schiff was the lead house manager during president trump's preemt trial. the intelligence member joins us from maryland. it's good to see you. you're the perfect person to talk to on this day. a lot of name calling. no love loss between the two. john bolton calls the president a liar. the president calls john bolton a liar. based on what you've seen and read, what concerns you most that you've seen in this book? >> what concerns me most in addition to the fact, of course, that he further demonstrates the quid pro quo the president co-hearsing ukraine by withholding the military assistance is the fact that it was part of a pattern of the president consistently putting his personal, political interests above the interests of the nation and to the detriment of our national security and the
8:05 am
president's general unfitness for office. these were themes we emphasized during the trial. bolton really confirms them, i think quite clearly in this book. >> yeah, and a lot of the things that we heard during the trial are now we're also reading in the book, do you wish the democrats would have pushed harder to have him testify? >> no. bolton made it clear that if we subpoenaed him that he would sue us and tie us up in court. now, this was even after his deputies were willing to testify. they had the courage of their convictions, but bolton's argument was essentially no, it would potentially impede on the president, that it would violate potentially his constitutional duty. apparently those concerns gave way to a $2 million book offer. the fact that he wasn't willing to testify in the house and was willing to tie us up in court for a long time but willing to tell the story to make money for a book tells you a lot about john bolton's character.
8:06 am
whether his testimony would have made a significant difference in trial, it may have if it led to further evidence and further witnesses. but we'll never know. and this is the price the country had to pay for john bolton's putting profit above country. >> well, let's talk about the book. the price of the book. the republicans say he's a disgruntled employee with an ax to grind who is trying to sell a book. do you think that makes you -- should we take the book seriously? >> i think we have to take the book seriously, because the allegations in it are so consistent with other evidence. and i -- so yes, i think we need to, because the portrait it paints of the president is one that we know to be all too true. somebody who puts his own personal interest above the national interest, and that will be a continuing danger to the country over the next several months until the election. so we have to take it seriously. you could certainly question and
8:07 am
i think should question john bolt bolton's patriotism in withholding the information during the impeachment hearings. >> one of the most stunning allegations involved the chinese president xi that he says the president was pleading with president xi to help him win the election in this country. when you hear that, what do you think? >> well, i have a couple strong reactions to that part of the book. the first is, of course, this is a perfect parallel to what he did with ukraine which was sub ji gait the country and try to get a country to help him in the campaign. and this appears to be what he was doing with china as well. i think equally disturbing was him telling president xi that he should go forward with these concentration camps for the uyghurs and it was the right thing to do. that is such a betrayal of
8:08 am
everything our country stands for. such a betrayal on a massive scale of our support for human rights. i don't know which is more disturbing, but both prove his unfitness for office. >> as chairman of the house intelligence committee, will you do anything now to investigate the new claims we're hearing? >> i'll be discussing this with the speaker and with my fellow chairs about what next steps may be necessary. we haven't had a chance to read the book. only excerpts. so i'll want to look deeply into the allegations and have a chance to confer about what the congress should do about what john bolton has to say at this belated moment. >> yeah. bolton says that democrats committed in his words, impeachment malpractice, because of only focusing on the ukraine part of the inquiry. does he have a point there? would you have handled it
8:09 am
differently? >> it's stunningly disengine wous for bolton to make that target. the house should have investigated things i was unwilling to tell him about. how are we going to investigate it if he refused to testified? bolton only has himself to blame if he thinks the house should have looked into, for example, the president's offer to try to dismiss a case against a turkish bank that was evading u.s. sanctions on iran as a way of pleasing a fellow autocrat or another autocrat. so no, i think john bolton has to somehow rationalize selling out by keeping this secret for his book, and that's the way he's attempting to do it. >> all right. congressman schiff, do you plan to read the book? >> i don't want to give him any royalty or further income from the book, so i'll read the excerpts, but i don't intend to buy a copy. >> all right. thank you very much for your time this morning, sir.

and we continue our series on the new normal looking at how the pandemic is dramatically changing our everyday lives. up now, visits to medical offices, dental offices are reopening after months of handling only emergencies. now all 50 states will allow routine dental care. but dennistry is considered one of the highest risk profession for the coronavirus. our senior medical correspondent, dr. tara narula, shows us the unique challenges. >> someone asked me in january, hey, you ever think about taking three months off from dentistry? i'll be like, yeah, when i retire. it was never on my radar that we would have to shut down for this long. >> reporter: dr. peter schatz is chairman of the georgia dental association's covid-19 innovation task force. he's one of the people trying to help dentists navigate complicated guidance from the state, osha, and cdc on how to reopen safely.
8:18 am
>> we were stood up to help our members better understand the complexities of the coronavirus from science, research, availability of ppe. >> reporter: 90% of dental offices in the u.s. were open for elective care by the first week of june. but it won't be business as usual. >> so the traditional waiting for your doctor's appointment inside the reception area is gone. we send a team member out into the parking lot actually to take a temperature, make sure they're not experiencing any illness. >> reporter: what makes denti dentistry so high risk isn't just patients' mouths but the nature of procedures themselves. what things generate the most aerosolization of the virus? >> anything using high speed, fillings, doing a root canal. >> reporter: dr. kirk norbo co-chaired a task force for the dental association. >> we're not using the ultrasonic scaler to create as
8:19 am
safe a environment as we can. >> reporter: the cdc recently updated guidelines to address routine dental care, stressing the importance of ppe, allowing downtime between patients, and prioritizing emergency care. a number of hygienists cbs news spoke with feel it's still too soon. >> i'm telling all of my friends and family, do not go to the dentist. it's probably the worst, most dangerous place you can go right now just because of the nature of the work with the aerosols. >> reporter: dr. schatz and norbo disagree and worry delaying care could lead to other health issues. >> the biggest risk in dentistry is uncontrolled infections, and those could lead to systemic disease, can aggravate underlying heart problems. >> i think a lot of people at home are going to be wondering is it safe to go to the dentist? >> i think absolutely it's safe. the biggest thing i'd say is we're here for you. we're back in business. we feel like we've got a safe environment for our patients to return to. >> and dr. tara narula joins us now for a broader look at the
8:20 am
safety of any and all visits to the doctor right now. and good morning, doctor. that's an incredible piece. i look at what dental offices are doing. looking more broadly, what should any medical office be doing to welcome patients sa safely? >> there's a lot of that offices can do to make patients feel safe but to actually protect them. the first starts with screening patient on the phone. having a nurse or nurse practitioner call and ask about fever or any symptoms, and that might triage them in a different direction. then when they show up to the office, really separating anybody who's sick from the well. quickly putting someone with any respiratory or fever symptoms into their own room and keeping that one room for sick patients and the rest of the room for healthier ones. in addition, the waiting room that we're used to is going to look very different. chairs will be placed six feet apart, as you saw in the package. many patients may be asked to wait in their car until they get a text message. any toys or magazines or flyers will be removed from waiting rooms. you'll see lots of plexiglass
8:21 am
barriers, lots of sanitizer, tissues, waste baskets. and then we are not going to probably be allowing nonessential visitors with patients. so those days where you brought your family with you into the room, it's going to be limited to just the patient. >> yeah. so as patients we should be asking questions about whether these things are in place. another question we'll be asking ourselves is how do we prioritize different visits we may have? what goes first, what's second, what's third? >> that's a great question. and the first thing to do is really talk to your doctor and figure out what kind of a patient are you. do you have any chronic medical conditions? any urgent symptoms? do you need vaccinations or important screening tests that might say you should come in now and not put it off. on the other hand, if you're someone who's healthy and it's a routine checkup, you may be able to wait. you should certainly ask the office about what their protocol is and that good communication is really important. and importantly you should ask about telehealth. telemedicine is really something that's taken off.
8:22 am
we've been using it a lot. i have to say i've been pleasantly surprised by how well and how efficient it is. and patients really like that visual one-on-one encounter. >> yeah, i had a telehealth appointment for baby teddy a couple of weeks ago, and it worked perfectly. dr. tara narula, thank you so much for the telehealth endorsement. it can work and the broaderer are mentions are wonderful, as well. thank you so much. you're watching "cbs this morning," folks. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ yeah ♪

8:39 am
obviously you have a 4-year-old daughter. >> i mean it came from desire to produce a book that i could read to her that can sort of serve as a springboard for us to have conversations about race and racism and about how to be anti-racist. the earlier we teach them how to be anti-racist, the better. we have studies that show that babies or even toddlers at 2 years tend to discern people's behaviors based on their race. we also know that 2 to 3-year-olds tend to choose their playmates based on their race. >> reporter: the book outlines nine easy ways we can teach children to be anti-racist. >> what number? >> one. >> open your eyes to all skin colors. >> reporter: a"anti-racist baby learns all the colors not -- >> if you climb to be colorblind, you deny what's in

more moving to hear a young child express anti-racist ideas. >> black lives matter! black lives matter! >> reporter: those ideas are seeping into the consciousness of america. the top books on "the new york times" bestsellers list have to do with racism and african-american culture. what does that say to you about what we're seeing and what is happening? >> i think one of the things it tells me is that the demonstrations have been effective. i see a direct connection between the demonstrations and so many people turning to books to hopefully learn about racism and even begin to change themselves as they join the effort to change society. >> reporter: for kendi, the solution starts with children. they are watching, learning, and will be next to write the chapters that mark defining moments in history.

"anti-racist baby" is on backorder now, but they will be in stock soon, i am assured. ahead on "cbs this morning," our "a more perfect union" series discovers the surprising partnership behind a mural with

[ chants ] >> reporter: as the protests against police grew louder and angrier, people who follow yunker's work began reaching out to ask if he still had the "resist hate" posters he'd created immediately after the divisive 2016 presidential election. >> red is the color of impact, the color of anger, the color of

stories of my grandfather straightening his hair and trying to pass for white in the 1930s, '40s, new york city. i'm always reluctant to talk about it because i'm still white, i had white privilege. i have no experience of being black. >> reporter: i think that's an important part of the conversation now, too. >> yeah. that's part of it, figuring out what the conversations are, that's part of the challenge. >> reporter: the hope is each stroke on this wall could change people's perceptions, and that just might change the world by getting people to vote. for "cbs this morning," jamie yuccas, los angeles. >> bravo, jamie. i think harry said it best, guys, when he said "it's kind of lit that we could come together and create something dope." the two of them clearly are on the same page when it comes to art. such a unifier and such a healer. really nice. >> yeah. and gayle, coming together and creating something coach dope -- something dope is like the election, people should vote. >> exactly.
