his presidency while mr. trump appears to face new challenges in his re-election campaign. last night in a startling interview, i would call it jaw dropping, boenltslton accused t president of a parent of behavior. it's called "the room where it happened" which is being published by simon & schuster, a division of viacom cbs, by the way. weijia jiang reports from the white house, bolton is explaining why he chose to launch his attack on the president now. >> we can get over one term. two terms, i'm more troubled about. >> reporter: john bolton claims he's speaking out now, in part to prevent president trump from winning another term. >> i hope it will remember him as a one-term president who didn't plunge the country irretrievably into a downward spiral we can't recoil from. >> reporter: but lawmakers are slamming the former national security adviser who refused to participate in the house

impeachment case. >> if john bolton had really wanted to get this information out for reasons other than his own personal profit, he should have come and testified before the house or the senate. >> reporter: bolton said the president did link military aid to investigations into his political opponent. the issue at the heart of the impeachment inquiry. >> in his mind, he was bargaining to get the investigation using the resources of the federal government, which i found very disturbing. >> reporter: but he argues his testimony would not have made a difference. bolton is bringing attention to what he says is the driving force behind mr. trump's decisions. re-election. >> a lot of people have complained he has a short attention span and he doesn't focus. i want to say, when it comes to re-election, his attention span was infinite. it's just too bad there wasn't more of that when it came to national security. >> we begin our campaign. >> reporter: over the weekend, president trump relaunched his campaign in tulsa.

and as health officials warn about the spreading virus, the president said he directed officials to slow down one of the key tools to controlling it. >> when you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people. you're going to find more cases. so i said to my people, slow the testing down, please. >> reporter: a white house official tells cbs news, mr. trump was clearly speaking in jest. >> we've never had an empty seat and we certainly won't in oklahoma. >> reporter: last week, president trump and the campaign boasted about the expected rally size. insisting that a million tickets had been requested. but on saturday, the president looked out into a sea of blue empty seats. just over 6,000 people showed up. sources familiar with the trump campaign tell cbs news that president trump was frustrated and angry over the turnout in oklahoma. cbs news has also learned there are concerns that the campaign lacks an overall game plan and many republican sources noted

the president's speech on saturday night did not address his vision for a second term. tony? >> weijia, that comment about testing definitely stood out because right now we turn to alarming numbers in the coronavirus pandemic. those numbers have set records. the largest increase in cases since may 1st. that's just over the weekend. one especially hard-hit state is florida where cases have been rising steadily for weeks. that's where the president plans to deliver his acceptance speech during the republican national convention. that's coming up in august. manuel bojorquez is in miami for us. manny, good morning. how are state officials responding to this increase? >> good morning. governor ron desantis will begin to crack down on bars that are overcrowded and restaurants not following social distancing guidelines. this comes after the most recent data shows that increasingly young people are testing positive, which some experts blame on a lack of a mandatory

face mask rule and lax attitudes about social distancing. and after blaming the rise in cases here on increased testing, this weekend the governor reversed course. >> even with testing increasing or being flat, the number of people testing positive is accelerating faster than that. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis says even as florida's record-breaking run of new cases continues, there are no plans to slow florida's reopening or implement a mandatory mask order. >> we just got to trust people. i think that tends to work better than to mandate this, mandate that. >> reporter: as about cases rise statewide, some cities like tampa and orlando are implementing mask orders of their own. the rise in cases caused major league baseball to close all training camps in florida and arizona for deep cleaning. and in tampa, players on both the professional football and hockey teams tested positive within the last week. forcing team facilities to close

for disinfecting. >> we opened too quickly. our urgency to open from phase one to phase two was fueled by, again, the economy. >> reporter: dr. marcia katz from the university of central florida health. covid-related hospitalizations are up across the atlanta area and even though young people account for much of the rise in cases, their ability to spread the virus is still a threat to public health. >> do you anticipate that in two weeks, given the number of new cases that we're seeing, hospitals will definitely see more patients? >> yes. i anticipate that. >> reporter: florida is one of at least seven states where the seven-day average of positive tests is over 10%. well above the world health organization's recommended 5% for re-openings. former fda commissioner scott gottlieb said on "face the nation" sunday that getting outbreaks under control without new lockdown orders will be challenging. >> we can do case-based interventions. the tracking and tracing of sick

people to get people isolated. we can go forward universal masking, something that's been controversial in some of these states. but there's not much else you can do. >> reporter: and as president donald trump publicly claims the virus is disappearing, white house trade adviser peter navarro said the administration is already preparing for a second wave. >> we are filling the stockpile in anticipation of a possible problem in the fall. we're doing everything we can beneath the surface working as hard as we possibly can. >> reporter: in the meantime, the organizer of several recent protests in south carolina is urging people who participated to get tested for covid-19 after several protesters tested positive. in light of those recent cases, several upcoming protests have been canceled. anthony? >> manny, thank you. democrats in congress say they want an investigation of the sudden firing of a prosecutor whose office is pursuing cases connected to

president trump. attorney general william barr says the president approved his decision to remove u.s. attorney geoffrey berman in new york. berman oversaw criminal probes of mr. trump's former personal attorney michael cohen and associates of his current lawyer rudy giuliani. catherine herridge is at the justice department. do we know why berman was let go? >> well, anthony, good morning. the justice department has not offered a detailed explanation. berman was first selected back in 2018 by then-attorney general jeff sessions who cited his more than three decades of experience. critics say berman's sudden removal raises more questions about barr's independence. >> what did they know? when did they know it? and why did they do it? >> reporter: democrats say attorney general william barr's decision to fire the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york wreaks of potential corruption. >> he certainly deserves impeachment, but again, that's a waste of time because the republicans in the senate won't

look at that. >> reporter: the standoff began late friday when barr said berman was stepping down and the chairman of the securities and exchange commission, jay clayton was tapped to replace him. the president's former personal attorney, and was in the process of prosecuting two associates of rudy giuliani, the president's current lawyer. however, later that evening, berman fired back against barr saying, i have not resigned and have no intention of resigning. >> i'm just here to do my job. >> reporter: saturday morning, berman showed up for work in lower mants. a short time later, barr said berman was offered other justice department jobs but after indicating he had no intention of resigning, barr wrote, i have asked the president to remove you, and he has done so. before his weekend rally, president trump said it was barr's call. >> i don't get involved. i just don't get involved. but the president has to sign a document or i guess give it the okay.

>> reporter: senate republican tim scott said he was not concerned berman's removal will affect any inquiries. >> everyone in the doj works at the pleasure of the president. there was no indication whatsoever that whatever is being investigated will not continue to move on. >> for now berman's deputy will be the acting u.s. attorney. critics point to jay clayton's close ties to wall street and his lack of experience as a federal prosecutor. one of the president's top allies, republican senator lindsey graham, who will oversee the confirmation process, told cbs news late last night that he will not move forward until there's a sign-off from the two new york senators and both have signaled they won't provide it. >> a lot of layers to that story and more to come. thank you catherine. a two-day final farewell to rayshard brooks will begin this afternoon in atlanta. brooks was shot dead in a confrontation with police officers ten days ago. both officers face criminal charges. the one who fired the criminal

shots, garrett rolfe is charged with felony murder. some say the local district attorney is rushing to judgment. >> it is time for the district attorney of fulton county to step aside. >> reporter: that's congressman doug collins. he is echoing calls from the atlanta police union for a special prosecutor to take over the rayshard brooks investigation. >> you cannot prosecute cases until the investigation is over. you don't do it for politics. your job is to find justice for everyone, not race, not class, not anything else. >> reporter: but district attorney paul howard is staunchly defending his decision to charge officer garrett rolfe and devin brosnan. yesterday he vowed he wouldn't step aside. the spotlight on police officer conduct has grown substantially since george floyd's death while in the custody of the minneapolis police four weeks ago. this weekend, a shopper confronted one of those officers, alexander kueng, as he bought groceries. he's out on bail spoengets

you're out of prison and comfortably shopping in cub foods, as if you didn't do anything? >> i wouldn't call it comfortably. i'd say just getting necessities. >> i don't think you should have that right. i don't think you should be out on bail. >> i understand that. >> how does it feel? >> i'm sorry you feel that way. >> reporter: in an interview with "60 minutes," the minneapolis police chief arradondo defend his decision to fire all four officers immediately. >> the lawyer for the other officers is saying they were rookies, and they were just following the instructions of the senior officer. >> i don't craft policy or make policy based on years of service. i expect and our community expects your humanity and your moral compass to rise above. and so if you fail to intervene, either verbally or physically, to me, you're complicit. >> reporter: meanwhile, the county detention center where

derek chauvin sits in jail is facing discrimination charges. eight officers of color say they were prohibited from entering or working on the floor where derek chauvin was being held the day he was arrested. in a statement, the superintendent of the ramsey county jail in minnesota says that decision was reversed in 45 minutes. let's take a look at what the superintendent said, writing, recognizing that the murder of george floyd was likely to create particularly acute racialized traum ai felt i had an immediate duty to protect and support employees who may have been traumatized. i realized i had erred in judgment and asked an apology. back here in atlanta, the viewing for rayshard brooks begins later on this afternoon here at historic ebenezer baptist church. tony? >> jeff pegues, thank you very much. here in new york, a new york city police officer is suspended without pay this morning after a video showed him using an apparent chokehold.

>> stop choking him, bro. stop choking him. he's choking him. let him go. >> the video shows officers struggling with a man identified as ricky bellevue early yesterday after bellevue apparently taunted the officers and pulled something out of a trash can. sources identify the suspended officer as david afanador. in 2014, he was charged with beating a teenage drug suspect but found not guilty at trial. new york's governor signed police reform measures earlier this month that outlawed chokeholds. ahead, a noose is found in the garage of nascar's only full-time black driver. the disturbing backlash to wallace effort to show fans that

nascar." wallace responded on twitter writing, "the despicable acted of racism and hatred leads my saddened and serves as a reminder of how much further we have to go as a society." heavy rang and lightning forced nascar to reschedule the race to today. before the weather hit, some fans brought confederate flags outside the race track. one flag bore a smiley face and the message "if this offends you, it made my day." at one point, a plane flew over the track with another confederate flag and the message, "defund nascar." yet several racers have voiced their support for wallace since nascar instituted the flag ban. >> he's got to -- a much different perspective than any of us do. that's one that i don't have, and a lot of -- most nascar drivers don't have. >> i feel like he's taking a larger stand than one of equality, and yunderstanding.

something. >> reporter: there has to be. nascar's not reporting that, but just with society and the way that we live now, i can't imagine that there is no video of someone entering that area where this apparently happened. >> that's what i'm thinking, too. i'm hoping so. thank you, jericka duncan. this was so upsetting to me -- to everybody really, that in 2020 we're still having this conversation. and bravo to bubba, who seems to be standing strong. he released a statement as you saw and said his mother said they're just trying to scare you, and he will not be scared. i hope they find who's responsible. >> i think he's courageous and it's sick what was done there. >> sick is a better word. ahead, a cbs news investigation into how a key trump ally may have tried to cash in on the pandemic at the expense of hospitals in desperate need of lifesaving masks. and a reminder, you can always get the morning's news by subscribing to the podcast. hear the top stories in less than two minutes. rd

as coronavirus cases are spiking across the country. middlemen are driving up the price of those highly coveted n95 masks. those masks are needed for frontline workers. a cbs news investigation found a top supporter of the president is trying to cash in on that market. and jim axelrod explains. >> reporter: they are the gold standard of masks. giving health care workers maximum protection against the coronavirus. >> my n95 mask that i will be wearing for the whole day throughout my shift -- >> reporter: in early april,

with u.s. supplies of n95s dwindling -- >> can't be that we can't make these. >> reporter: and doctors and nurses sounding the alarm -- [ chants ] the president took aim at 3m, america's biggest mask maker. mr. trump tweeted the company will have a big price to pay for exporting n95s to canada and latin america. te tweets set off four days of negotiations until 3m and the white house vukstruck a deal. >> we're getting a million masks -- >> reporter: where this man comes in -- >> finally we have a president who promises and delivers. >> reporter: eric beech is a big-time fundraiser for the president. the great america pack which he co-founded has raised more than $40 million to support mr. trump since 2016. >> he creates policies that allow all americans to flourish, not just a certain segment of americans. >> reporter: and beech did not let an opportunity to try to make some money go to waste.

four days after the president struck a deal with 3m, beech, who has no experience in medical supplies, formed colt international, inc., touting his connections with the manufacturing giant. cbs news obtained this document sent to prospective clients by one of colt's, quote, preferred partners. a letter apparently signed by beech assurance buyers colt would work directly with the 3m corporation and its distributors and provides direct contact information. another document from beech's partner boasts the colt's relationship with 3m would provide local governments, hospitals, and first responders access to a current inventory of several billion units of the urgently n95 masks. >> i don't know how somebody can have that many masks. >> reporter: sheshank kamalapuram runs a medical equipment company supplying hospitals and nursing homes with protective equipment. he told us n95s are still

backordered up to three months. i want to talk about colton international, directly from the document. "direct pricing and low minimum order quantities of n95 masks through 3m." what do you make of that? >> this is what's happening every day. you know, you get hundreds of emails from people who claim to have millions of masks with them. i have stayed away from it because it's too dubious. >> reporter: beech told cbs news has new business was, quote, connecting friends and colleagues. he subleased office space at this political lobbying firm in reno, nevada. according to a document from colt's partners, they were offering masks for up to $2.20 each. a markup of 93 cents above 3m's list price. that's before a 10% commission on the final sale. is that a lot of money? >> you can do the math. you know, it's huge. >> reporter: 3m said it had seen a surge of middlemen trying to cash in on the pandemic by

falsely claiming affiliation with the company to drum up business. the manufacturer told cbs news it had no relationship with beech's company, colt international. you could easily get the impression, wait a minute, he's connected with 3m. >> that is true. for anybody not in the business, any hospital it sounds that way. it's coming directly from 3m. that gives it legitimacy when you're making a sale. >> reporter: in a statement to cbs news, beech said he only worked to connect medical buyers through various contacts and admitted he had no professional relationship with 3m. tony? >> well, that's the big question here. so from your reporting, what would this political operative, this fundraiser, eric beech, stand to gain by creating the impression that he was connected with 3m? >> our reporting suggests, of course, that it is designed to give the impression, look, we're the real deal.

we can supply all the masks that you need. the only problem is, states and hospitals and other people who desperately need n95 masks, there's no evidence that they can deliver. those entities could have their money tied up with beech that could go instead toward actual n95 masks. >> wow. all right. jim axelrod reporting for us. thank you very much. ahead, vlad duthiers looks at the stories you'll be

back in the studio. we're still working from our homes. let me saunter over to my monitor and tell some of the stories we think people will be talking about including this -- as we reported earlier, people who attended anti-racism protests in south carolina are being urged to immediately get tested for covid-19 after some of them contracted the illness. the organizer of the "i can't breathe" organization said at least 13 are battling the coronavirus. the people who got sick went to columbia, charleston, and greenville between may 30th and june 17th. the leader, lawrence nathaniel, is encouraging people in the state to stay away from protests until they get tested and is canceling all future demonstrations. on saturday south carolina announced a record single-day total of covid-19 cases, 1,157 new infections. >> yeah. look, some people were saying i don't know why there's so much focus on the president's rally. we should be worrying about the demonstrations, as well. public health people were worried about both and everything going forward. it's great that the organizers are saying, hey, we got this.

it's monday, june 22, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." pack in the studio. i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and them. john bolton's interview includes more claims the president is endangering national security. plus former cia deputy director is asked for his assessment. >> unequal impact. the coronavirus surges. again, we discover why it's hit minority-owned businesses especially hard. and the past is present. we revisit james baldwin's powerful observations on race that are still painfully

relevant today. >> painful is the word. first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. john bolton is sounding the alarm on his presidency while mr. trump appears to face new challenges in his reelection campaign. >> we can get over one term. two terms i'm troubled about. >> sources say president trump was frustrated and angry over the turnout in oklahoma. alarming numbers in the coronavirus pandemic. those numbers have set records. the largest increase in cases since may 1st. that is just over the weekend. increasingly, young people are testing positive. democrats in congress say they want an investigation of the sudden firing of a prosecutor whose office is pursuing cases connected to president trump. a two-day final farewell to rayshard brooks begins in atlanta. some say the local district attorney is rushing to judgment. >> did you know that the number

one gift that dads want on father's day is a phone call from their children? that's all i want. if i got a phone call from my children, that -- i guess i should explain. i've spent the last three months with my children, and only my children. >> i think everybody likes a phone call from their children. >> i do, too. >> although, he's right. >> we can all afford. >> hello and welcome back to "cbs this morning." your eyes are not deceiving you. look, anthony and i are in the studio. anthony, you look as good in person in a familiar setting with our "cbs this morning" table. anthony and i have been moved from our homes to the studio, for now. here on the studio, cbs broadcast center, we call it, it's on west 57th street. >> back home, in effect. >> feels good. >> as new york city continues to reopen, so do we.

we're glad to be returning to our studio home after being away. and i lost count of this, but it was almost 100 days. >> i didn't lose count. it was a long time. . >> it's been a long time. as you can see, i'm without a tie and i had a short commute this morning. what we're doing is this. we want to be cautious and so one of us will continue to broadcast remotely for the time being. as most of our staff will be working from home. only a small number of people, those needed to get us physically back on the air are back in the building. we're taking all the safety protocols required to keep everybody as safe as possible. all of that said, it is very good to see both of you at the table. i look forward to joining you there soon. >> we're looking forward to it too, tony. you should know. jarod, tony, cedric, dougie, everybody says hey, tony. we'll be waiting for you when you get back here. more scathing criticism of president trump today from a former key member of his inner circle in an abc news interview,

john bolton claims mr. trump makes most of his decisions based on what's in his best interest, not the country's. tony? >> bolton said he won't vote for trump in november. he did in 2016. now he says he's concerned about the direction of our country. >> i hope it will remember him as a one-term president who didn't plunge the country irretrievably into a downward spiral we can't recall from. >> over the weekend a federal judge cleared bolton's memoir after the trump administration tried to block it. the room where it happened is published by simon & schuster which happens to be a division of viacom cbs. the deputy director of cia is with us. michael, good morning. what did john bolton's

allegations say to you about the way this white house functions? >> so, anthony, before reading the back, just reading the media, talking to my friends, i understood that there was a level of dysfunction in this administration. but after having read the book, after having watched the interview last night, i'd have to say that level of dysfunction is historic. lack of attention by the president. lack of interest in any details. inconsistent directives to his senior officials. changing his mind on final policy decisions. going outside his set of advisers for confidential advice. it all adds up to dysfunction and to me the title of the book is wrong. it's not the room where it happened. it's total chaos. >> bolton says vladimir putin

played the president like a fiddle. what's your reaction to that? >> that's absolutely correct. he did it before the election even. he was the first foreign leader to figure out the way to get what he wanted from the president. it strokes his ego, give him the photo opportunities he wants and the pageantry he wants. many other leaders now have learned that. not surprising, anthony, that he was the first to learn it given that he was a former intelligence officer and he was trained to figure out what people want to hear so you can get what you want. >> bolton took good notes from what we understand while he was in the white house, michael. he said that intelligence briefings, the president only attended them once or twice a week. is that unusual? >> it's highly unusual. most presidents take their

intelligence briefing every day. when i briefed george w. bush, it was six days a week. it was scheduled for a half hour. it often went an hour. on weekends at camp david it went for two hours. there was deep interest and many questions. what john bolton describes as few briefings, and during the briefings, most of the time the president did the talking, not the briefers, and most of the time it was about issues that had nothing to do with national security. >> when you see what bolton essentially describes as a conspicuous lack of attention to detail, what duke the impact on national -- tooung the impact on national security is on something like that, mike s? >> you can't make good national security decisions without a rigorous assessment of the options and the up sides and down sides. you have to read a lot.

it's absolutely clear from reading bolton's book that the president did none of that. that the president really relies on his gut, on his instinct, and he's making a final assessment based on what's in his interest, not what's in the national interests. and i think as i read the book, john bolton is pretty compelling on that point. it's very convincing. >> the government has been fighting the release of the book because they say it contains classified information. is there anything in here that raises alarm bells to you? >> so there were a number of things as i read the book that jumped out to me that i have not seen before. these would be facts about our adversaries. and i don't know whether they're classified, but i have not seen them before, and they seem to come from intelligence sources. so it is quite possible, anthony, that there is classified information in this

book. >> all right. michael, thank you for being with us this morning. >> norah o'donnell will speak with john bolton norm on the news. you can see it wednesday on "cbs this morning." the financial fallout from the coronavirus is hitting minorities the hardest. ahead we'll speak to black business owners who say they have not gotten the loans they need to keep their businesses

when it comes to the financial fallout from the coronavirus, the impact has not been felt equally. it's forced a record-breaking number of small businesses to close at least temporarily. what we're looking at is how the pandemic is affecting diverse communities economically and medically. consider this -- there was a 41%

decline in black businesses, business owners, rather, from february to april, and a 32% drop in latino business owners. that is compared to a 17% decrease in white business owners. erroll barnett has examined some of these inequities. good morning. really striking figures. what did you learn? >> reporter: good morning. you're right. well, what we know is that the struggle is real. of course covid-19 has impacted hundreds of millions of americans. we've all been touched in some way, whether it's medically, financially, socially, or psychologically. and while we've long said this virus doesn't discriminate, the numbers do show us that this is hitting the pocketbooks of minorities the hardest, and right now they are struggling to stay afloat. inside one of the wealthiest countries in the world, sobering images like these have flashed across television screens and been printed on newspaper pages. struggling americans looking for

food. it's a symptom of covid-19, although it's not one you'll find in a medical journal. as the pandemic stretches into the summer, the economic impact of the disease is coming into sharper focus. for many in america's working class, the work has dried up. national unemployment figures at the highest levels since the great depression. and for african-americans, that number deepens to nearly 17%. will turner lost his popular atlanta restaurant after covid shuttered the state of georgia. and as far as a federal economic injury disaster loan, turner was denied. forced to reopen his old food truck to try and support his family. >> i had a friend of mine who also owns a pilates studio here in atlanta. her eidl loan was approved for $300,000. however, mine was denied. you can call it classism,

racism, whatever you want to call it. but when the lead adviser to the president says that there's no such thing as systemic racism in our society and he's leading the advisory board on economics to the president, we've got a serious problem in this country. >> the pandemic really does shine a lot on a number of economic disparities along racial lines. >> reporter: valerie wilson directs the economic policy institute's program on race, ethnicity, and economy. so many black-owned businesses are really lifelines for their paths of the city -- >> lifelines and parts of the city. they can't hire and employ more people. are an important people of building the u.s. economy as a whole. >> reporter: a survey of 500 minority-owned businesses found only 12% received a loan amount requested. nearly two-thirds had yet to receive any help. >> it's been a total nightmare. >> reporter: new york city salon

owner juliet anderson is one of the many americans who hasn't seen any loan assistance from the government. her shop is in the bronx. the new york borough with one of the highest minority populations and america's largest city. >> the pandemic has been a complete full stop in terms of income, in terms of livelihooli. i would say nine out of ten did not get the ppp. yes. so they've been struggling to stay afloat. >> reporter: just staying afloat during the problem so many americans are wrestling with, including will turner. >> just like the actual virus that people are catching, black people are disproportionately affected by it because we already had more pre-existing conditions than white people did. and just like black businesses, if you had a pre-existing condition in your black business, your chances of survival were a lot less than

your white counterparts. >> reporter: will turner tells us he just got approved for a ppp loan. unfortunately, it won't be anywhere near enough to save his restaurant. and as for juliet, she does plan to open her business today as new york city enters phase two of this reopening plan that allows hair salons, barber shops, and other nonessential businesses to open their doors. but the key question here is, gayle, will the customers be back and for how many business owners is it already too late. >> i know. a lot of people on pins and needles waiting for the answer. thank you so much. i thought will turner in errol's piece made such a good point. you at least have to acknowledge, anthony, that there is a problem. and if you say that systemic racism doesn't exist, it's kind of hard to even get past that if people won't acknowledge, listen, people are hurting here, this is a real, real thing. >> you have to look and say at least there might be a problem, let's look and see if there is. >> yes, yes, yes. >> you can't just close the

door. i agree. >> a lot of doors are closing. it's tough. tomorrow on "cbs this morning," as part of our "race to respond" series, we're going to look at how the coronavirus is affecting minority communities medically. where the virus is hurting the black community especially very hard. ahead, the change we are not seeing because of the coronavirus. how the pandemic is disrupting the flow of coins into the economy. coins? all right. anybody got a penny? you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.

in a rare set of kidney transplants, a husband and wife donated their organs to the same man. 16 years apart. when brian harrington died in 2008, his kidney and pancreas were given to jeffrey granger. the transplant saved granger's life. when he was finally allowed to meet brian's wife, the two

formed an immediate connection. they've been friends for 15 years. granger watched terri's children grow up, and their families go on trips together. last year when granger learned his donated kidney was failing, he was shocked by terri's response. >> i wanted her to be one of the first ones that knew. and she said, don't worry about it. you'll get mine. i'm like, you're crazy, girl. but i ended up with it. >> even if i hadn't given a kidney, he still would have been a friend. now he's a friend longer because he has something that can sustain his life. >> wow. the transplant was a success. terri told "cbs this morning" that becoming friends with granger helped her cope with her husband's death because it felt like he was able to live on. wow. >> terri's not crazy, girl, she's a really generous, giving girl. that's amazing. >> what an incredible connection between the husband and wife. >> bonded for life.

beautiful story. ahead, the damaging impact of racism on mental health in the black community. psychiatrist dr. jess clemons discusses why black good morning. a caravan rally will be held this afternoon in oakland. demonstrators are called to end the unified police department. a series of actions led by the black organizer project comes ahead of wednesday's vote on police preschools at the meeting. the rally starts at 4:00. students will be protesting at noon demanding canceled classes at the city college of san francisco be restored. they are also rallying over the lack of support for african- american studies and campus closures. students want a full-time african-american studies faculty, funding for the

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring you some of the stories we like to call "talk of the table" this morning. this is exciting because we actually got a table today that we can talk from. it's where we each pick a story that we like that share with each of you and all of us. tony, you're up first. >> all right. i'll go first. from my home table. i'm talking about a new shortage created by the pandemic. apparently the country is very low on coins. coins. like change. federal reserve chairman jerome powell says the normal flow of pennies, of nickels, of dimes, and quarters, stopped during the lockdown, and the fed which supplies banks with coins has been forced to ration coins.

they're not sending as many. and the reason this is happening apparently is consumers have been encouraged to use credit cards and contact-free payment systems. they're not using cash as much. plus, the u.s. mint produced fewer coins to keep their workers safe. they distributed fewer coins, and then as we go out and spend money, we are spending fewer of them. so anthony, i don't know if you still bring your wall street to set on your -- wallet to set on your first day back, if you've got pennies, nickels, and dimes in there, it might be worth more than prior. >> i don't have any. patty was thrilled. she doesn't have to look out for them. >> all right. here's my story. a never-before-released solo version of a grammy-winning song by aretha franklin is resonating with today's protesters. here's a look. ♪ a child with a smiling face tell me that color ain't about race ♪ ♪ you can cast the first stone you can break my bones

but you're never gonna break you're never gonna break my faith ♪ >> great to hear arieth a. the video for "never gonna break my faith" shows civil rights demonstrations in the '60s mixed with this year's black lives matter protests. the song won a grammy in 2008 when it was released as a duet with mary j. blige, aretha's last grammy win. her 18th. that song was recorded for the documentary about bobby kennedy. but there was a solo version which brian adams, who co-wrote it, had on his computer. he sent to clive davis when he heard clive was making a documentary about aretha and said, you need to hear this. and clive put it out friday for juneteenth with this very compelling video. of course, many people remember aretha's father, the reverend cl franklin, was a very prominent baptist minister in detroit who marched with the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. in the '60s. >> i know clive davis was excited about the record coming

out. >> a powerful song and great video, too. >> thank you. >> what have you got? >> i think you're a music encyclopedia. honestly, anthony -- >> the depth of what i don't know is profound. >> you always have a little nugget. mine is about a 9-year-old skater. i don't know she sings, but she can skate. ♪ i'll rise unafraid i'll rise up ♪ >> i love this. this is caitlyn sounders. remember her name. she skated to "rise up" on the newly named black lives matter plaza near the white house. she did it earlier this month at 5:30 in the morning. >> wow. >> she knew the street would be empty. she wanted to spread a message of hope. >> i felt like i could really make a difference in the world, and anyone can make a difference with such a little thing. you should just remember the

positive things in life, and try to figure out what you can do to help change the world to be a better place. >> yes, thank you. we thank you, caitlyn. she says, i thought i could get all the negative messages out of people's minds and bring in the positive ones. tony, you know where i'm going with this -- how much do we love that voice? >> yes. >> i love her voice. i love the way she thinks. i not she's a beautiful skater out there. i just adore this little child. really great to see. >> yeah, she's very special. mission accomplished. she looked absolutely weightless as she moved around on that tarmac. complete unburdened as we would hope to be. well done. >> a great idea and great song to do it to. >> caitlyn saunders, we're going to remember your name. here at cbs news we're committed to stopping the stigma surrounding mental health. so we can take the shame and blamg out of discussing -- blame out of discussing mental illnesses. today we're looking at how racism and the coronavirus have affected mental health in the black community. only one this three black

americans who need mental health care receive it. dr. jess clemons uses her social media account, she's great, to break down barriers and provide more access to help. she joins us only on "cbs this morning" from new orleans. it's so good to see you. you are the perfect person for this conversation today. between covid and heightened racial tensions, i think about what black americans where living through -- one of those would be enough to put you in the fetal position. you've got the one-two punch. talk about why this is having such a big effect on mental health in the black community. it seems obvious, but maybe not so much for some people. >> absolutely. so thank you for having me today. you know, i think what you're pointing out is something that black americans know intuitively. we know that we're always hit the hardest, and we have the worst outcomes, right. but there are a lot of studies that have looked at how racism affects the mental health of those within the black

community. right now, thinking about george floyd and police killings. there was a study in 2018 that looked at what's the impact in terms of mental health for black americans who are living and observing unarmed black people being killed. what we find is that for the larger black population, that equates to about 55 million poor mental health days which affects the economy and obviously affects the quality of life. what we do know about covid and natural disasters is that it tends to lead to an increase in the number of new cases of mental illness. of course when black people get exposed to things like this, we are expected to get hit the hardest. we're expected to not only present with symptoms, but also have nowhere to go because of the lack of access and the stigma and barriers associated with it. >> dr. jess, you've talked about the difference in diagnosis. a black man and a white man can go seek mental help for the same simpleless to but get a -- symptoms but get a different diagnosis. what do you mean?

>> yes. yes. so there have been, again, a lot of research that have shown if, say, a black man goes in to see a psychiatrist with psychotic symptoms and a white man goes in to see a psychiatrist with the same psychotic symptoms. the black man is more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia which in society has a larger negative consequence associated with that. and the white man is more likely to be diagnosed with bipolar di disorder, an illness previously episodic, to have periods where the person is experiencing psychotic symptoms, but with treatment will go back to normal. again, that's very different in terms of how society views them. but also to add that the african-american or black patient is more likely to not get treatment and to be incarcerated actually because of those symptoms. >> yeah. and there's certainly still a sigma in the black community about seeking mental help. people say go to church, talk to a friend, your family, stephen colbert sti-- or better still, p

it inside the family. do you think you're noticing more black americans seeking help, and how do we reduce the stigma? >> absolutely. i think because of my sort of unique work using social media to engage communities, black communities around mental illness, i certainly have received a lot of direct messages from people who have started to engage in therapy or looking for a therapist. i think there has been a lot of work in terms of reducing sti a stigma. we have celebrities open about how much therapy has helped them. so i do think that we're going to see a rise in that. but you know, there's still a lack of black psychiatrists, there's still, you know, far few black psychologists. so my hope is that this will also encourage people to pursue this line of work because we do know that black patients are more likely to get treated by black providers, and that black providers are more likely to work in communities that are underserved in the black communities especially. >> very good point, dr. clemons. how do you stay strong and sane

when you feel so broken inside? >> so i think, you know, that's the million-dollar question. you know, my hope and a lot of what i encourage poeople to do including my patients is to find things that bring them hope. to find the things that make them feel good and really to lean into that. i think, you know, with working from home and social distancing, my hope is that people have leaned into the love that they can receive from their families. you know, really engaging in things like breath work, yoga, meditation. those can all be things that a person can do to help sustain them as we continue, you know, this fight for racial justice and also to get out of this pandemic. >> to get out of this pandemic and be with people. listen, i was with friends over the weekend in -- in long island. something i hadn't done in a very long time. and just being in the studio surrounded by people. you must springfiefeel this, to such a difference in how i feel. lighter already. dr. jess clemons, thank you so

much for taking the time. i really, really appreciate it. if you or someone you know is seeking mental health resources, you can call the national alliance on mental illness help line, what she's trying to see, 1-800-950-6264, or in a crisis, text nami to 741741. anthony? >> yeah. the powerful words of author james baldwin played a vital role in the civil rights movement. ahead, teenage poet playon patrick recites them for us, giving them new meaning in the deliver packages for amazon.

i drive my van five days a week. i'm the only one touching the van, but i'm still gonna take the time to wipe everything down. i recently took a break cause my girlfriend and i just had a baby. in the middle of this pandemic, you know, having a kid, there's something different. when i came back, amazon completely changed. there you go, sir. thank you. recovering the van was different, coming into the station and loading was different. if anything, they took it overboard on the safety, and that's what i love. it's funny to say i'm essential. we're all working towards a common goal. just like amazon says,

"deliver smiles," and honestly, i believe i do. that could mean an increase jbyin energy bills..s, you can save by using a fan to cool off...

unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or closing your shades during the day. stay well and keep it golden.

anothewell 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.
