president trump is making his first comments in the arrest of ghislaine maxwell. >> i met her numerous times. i just wish her well frankly. the president says troops will help crack down on the violence. >> despicable. it's like a third-world country. in chicago, at least 14 people are injured after gunfire erupts outside of a funeral home. >> all that -- dramatic video, ship collision caught on camera. good news is, no one is hurt. >> and all that matters. ♪ i'll be there for you >> to hang out with your real friends right now but the cast of the '90s sitcom could soon be keeping you company. david schwimmer says the gang could start filming a reunionon special next month. >> this is it. >> this is it, unless we're on a break. >> cbs "cbs this morning."

president trump on the coronavirus, after months of downplaying the pandemic, he is now echoing the warnings of health experts that the virus will likely get worse before it gets better. that's the last thing anyone wants to hear right now. the u.s. reported 1,000 deaths from the virus yesterday. it was one of the worst days since may. anthony? >> california is now poised to overtake new york as the state with the most confirmed cases. both have more than 400,000. we've got correspondents following this in washington and in hard-hit states. we begin with mireya villareal. some disagree on how to respond to this. >> reporter: it's a dramatic situation here in texas. we're seeing a leveling off of cases, in a lot of urban areas like here in dallas, border communities are seeing their hospitals fill up. we have a lot of county judges that are stepping in.

they're actually imposing curfews. they're rolling back on businesses that are nonessential. they're trying to close them up for the time being. we have one county judge who imposed a stay-at-home ruling despite the governor continuing to push to keep the state open for business. >> i wanted to make everybody aware this is a serious situation. >> reporter: his mandate to keep people home, he says, was out of desperation. >> my job is to take care of the public health. i was seeing our people really not paying attention to the seriousness of the problem. >> reporter: but according to texas governor greg abbott, cortez's plan and others under consideration are not enforceable because statewide rules take precedent. is this anything like you've seen before? >> this pandemic has really hit the valley very hard. it's something i've never seen in my 27-year career. >> johnny garcia is the director of the funeral home in edinburg,

texas. funeral homes like his are running out of space so fast the state brought in refrigerated trailers to help store body. >> most funeral homes can probably hold five to ten loved ones at a time. all of a sudden you're getting that many calls per day. >> reporter: according to the texas department of state health services, hispanic people make up more than 40% of confirmed coronavirus cases. it's a similar situation in california, where the number of cases has topped 400,000. latinos make up almost 39% of california's population, but account for more than 55% of coronavirus cases. >> losing two members within less than a week itself, it's the hardest thing to go through. >> reporter: alexandria lost her father and sister days apart. cubias says she's apgry and upset she still sees people not taking the virus seriously. >> you need to protect your

family. you need to stay your distance. you need to stop being selfish. think about your family. >> reporter: other states are seeing an even bigger surge compared to texas and california. in mississippi they recorded more than 1600 new coronavirus cases in one day. meeting their previous one-day record by more than 30%. tony? >> that may not be the last record to fall. mireya, thank you very much. the battle whether it's safe to reopen school buildings is escalating, impassioned protests on both sides all across the country, including in florida, where the largest teachers union is suing state officials. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in miami for us. there seems to be a lot at stake here. >> reporter: arguably this is the hottest hot spot, averaging more deaths per day than any other state in the country right now, 115 a day. despite that, the governor is striking a hopeful tone, saying

he thinks things are going in the right direction, even though hospitals seem to be right on the brink. as of yet, the governor has not responded from that lawsuit from teachers who are suing him to stop them from forcing them to open up schools. do you know where the governor is finding support on reopening schools? from the president and vice president. the vice president, mike pence, is encouraging parents to do what he says he would do. >> if our kids were elementary school age, high school or college, we wouldn't hesitate to send them back to school. >> reporter: pence says children with no serious underlying conditions are at low risk for getting covid-19 and dr. anthony fauci agrees that is true for most kids. >> but some children do get seriously ill and some do pass it on to the adults. i think we have to be careful when we talk about that. >> it can't be back to school with schools as usual. >> reporter: harvard professor joseph allen specializes in public health. what are your thoughts on

reopening schools? >> there are some conditions precedent. first we have to get cases under control in this country. >> reporter: allen says in addition to hand washing and social distancing, it is imperative that schools provide greater ventilation with portable air cleaners that have hepa filters in them, in every single classroom in the country. >> there is a risk to getting kids back in school. do you know what also is a massive risk? devastating consequences to keeping kids out of school. we've seen this with virtual dropouts. we've seen more sedentary activity. children rely on schools for food. >> reporter: back here in florida, jacary byrd said his brother was working as a custodian and taking classes at a community college in tallahassee when he contracted covid-19. he died saturday at the age of 19. >> making straight a's in college. he was very talented. i miss him.

he was a gentle giant. >> reporter: what did he want to be? >> he wanted to be an educator. >> reporter: jordan was being treated for diabetes before he contracted the coronavirus. he went into the hospital with his mother. they were both in the icu. he died. his mother, who turned 55 in the hospital, gayle, appears to have survived and was just released to a rehab facility. >> boy, david, i'm glad she survived but 19 is far too young. it's not supposed to work that way. thank you very much. president trump is also significantly changing his tone on the use of masks. yesterday at his first virus task force briefing in almost three months, the president pulled a mask out of his pocket. he now says that he does carry one and wears it when he needs to. ben tracy is at the white house with more on this story. ben, that was a bit of a surprise when he pulled it out. he has made it clear he doesn't really like wearing them. why the about-face, do you

think? >> reporter: the president has seen the polls that show that most americans don't approve of how he has handled the virus and it could cost him the election. in these new briefings, he's a one-man show with a more somber tone. >> it will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better. >> reporter: the president is now acknowledging the obvious. coronavirus is surging across the country, not fading away. wruf been saying for months that the virus would simply disappear. now you're saying it's likely to get worse before it gets better. if it does keep getting worse, americans keep dying, are you responsible for that? >> well, the virus will disappear. the governors are working with me. i'm working with the governors. we're working hand in hand. i think we're all responsible. >> reporter: the president now says he's open to expanding testing, even though just days ago his administration was fighting against new funding for it. democrats did not welcome his return to the podium. >> it was weird, because a briefing on the coronavirus should be about science, and

that is something the president has ignored. i think a good deal of what we have suffered was clearly the trump virus. >> reporter: members of the trump administration spent tuesday on capitol hill, negotiating a fourth round of coronavirus stimulus. republicans want a $1 trillion package, including funding for scho schools and tax credits for businesses. democrats favor a more expansive $3 trillion stimulus with aid to states and an extension of the $600 weekly unemployment benefit. both sides do support stimulus checks, though it's not clear how much would be sent out and who would be eligible. there's little support in either party for president trump's call for a payroll tax cut. >> we're still in discussion with the administration on that. >> reporter: the president was forced off script at one point on tuesday when asked about ghislaine maxwell, the associate of jeffrey epstein. she is in jail awaiting charges of sexual abuse, which she denies. in a strange moment the

president said he has met her numerous times and that he wishes her well. anthony? >> a very strange moment, ben. thank you. former vice president joe biden is accusing president trump of outing -- quitting, rather, on the country during the pandemic. the presumptive democratic presidential nominee made the comment when he unveiled a plan that he says will help restore the economy. ed o'keefe joins us from washington. what's in this plan? >> reporter: anthony, good morning. the $775 billion plan is designed to help working parents and caregivers with new ideas for expanding pre-k and access of care to kids and the elderly, creating 3 million new jobs. by targeting the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, the biden campaign is hoping to draw stark contrasts with the president. >> donald trump fails the most important test of being an american president, the duty to care for you. >> reporter: joe biden once again slammed president trump's

handling of the pandemic. >> he has quit on you. he's quit on this country. >> reporter: the former vice president tuesday spoke from a school in his native delaware, and he once again focused on the economy. but this time, he unveiled plans to create 3 million new jobs to help care for the nation's kids, senior citizens and disabled. >> this is about easing the squeeze on working families. >> reporter: biden's proposals would expand access to at-home care, push for universal public prekindergarten and hire at least 35,000 people to help tackle the opioid epidemic. the speech came as biden is more closely scrutinizing options for a running mate, set to be announced in august. he says he's reviewing background files on each contender. >> and i'mn going to narrow the, uh, the list, and then we'll see. then i'm going to have personal discussions with each of the candidates. >> reporter: biden's potential picks include black, white, latino and asian-american women,

like congresswoman val demgs, atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms, and tammy duckworth. they're getting more exposure to a wider audience. >> he's going to pick the right person to help him run and serve this country. i'll serve it however i can. >> i'm honored to be in the conversation and i'll do everything in my power to make sure joe biden is elected the next president of the united states. >> reporter: joe biden out with a new video featuring his former boss, barack obama, former veep and former president discussing leadership. >> thank you very much, ed. this morning, china is vowing retaliation after they were ordered to close their consulate in houston. there were reports of someone burning documents in the courtyard of the consulate. firefighters were not allowed in. it was closed, quote, to protect

the mscene. officials counted 60 shell casings. it's the latest of more than 1600 shooting incidents in chicago this year, up more than 500 from this time a year ago. >> many people killed over the weekend. we're looking at chicago. >> reporter: president trump monday pointed to chicago as a city in desperate need of intervention. following controversial tactics in portland, oregon, he could send as many as 175 federal law enforcement officers to chicago. >> we are not going to allow democracy to be hijacked by the federal government. >> reporter: chicago mayor lori lightfoot tuesday criticized the actions of federal agents in portland, adding that her city would reject, quote, dictatorship, but welcome federal partnership in the effort to fight violence. >> unlike what happened in portland, what we will receive is resources to help manage and suppress violent crime in our

city. >> reporter: the mayor co-signed a letter to president trump this week, calling the tactics in portland, quote, an abuse of power. as for the shooting here in chicago, police have detained and questioned a person of interest, but a motive remains unclear. gayle? >> no motive would make sense. drive-by shooting at a funeral does not represent who they are. that's very sad. thank you very much, adriana. uproar over a judge's refusal to release a 15-year-old girl from a juvenile facility after she was

welcome back to "cbs this morning." a michigan judge who has been criticized for plating a 15-year-old black girl in juvenile facility after she failed to do her homework. says she can be not released early. the case has prompted demonstrations and allegations of racism in this case. the girl is being called grace to protect her identity. she's been in detention and treatment for more than two months now for breaking her probation for not doing the online work. adriana diaz talked to grace's attorneys. this was not an easy decision -- >> reporter: on monday, a judge denied grace's request for an early release from a juvenile residential center calling her a

danger to her mother. grace was placed in detention in may after violating her probation by failing to complete online school work. her probation stemmed from a physical altercation with her mother last fall and for stealing a student's property. >> how many times does she get to jump her mom -- >> reporter: the defense pointed out that many students struggle with virtual learning, especially those like grace who has adhd and is on a special education plan. >> it struggle of a student experiencing disabilities in time of covid, it was recognized by the school. >> reporter: saima khalil and jonathan biernat represent grace. they told oakland county judge mary ellen brennan that the teen should be home with her mother. >> grace's case worker says she's doing well in the program that she's in right now. why not let her complete that program? >> the services she can get at home are far superior than the

ones provided by oakland kane county. >> reporter: judge brennan said grace's mother repeatedly called the case worker for help. >> there was no point where my client or the mother was saying, yeah, take my kid away from me and throw her in detention. >> reporter: in the courtroom, grace pleaded her case. >> i believe that this challenge has specifically brought my mother and i finally back together -- >> reporter: you're exactly where you're supposed to beme. you're blooming there. but there's more work previously done. >> reporter: after the hearing, grace cried and embraced her mother. jason smith, a director with the michigan center for youth justice, says grace needs support, not punishment. >> it's frustrating that instead of trying to figure out a way that she can get additional support, the first step that the judge took was to incarcerate her. >> reporter: now the court issued a statement defending the judge's decision saying in part, quote, these decisions do not reflect one bit of information but, rather, an extensive review

of a juvenile's case file. now prosecutors have until friday to respond to a motion from grace's lawyers to reconsider. if she has to complete the program that she's in, she'll have to remain at the juvenile facility for roughly 3.5 more months. tony? >> a long time in a teenager's life. we wish the best to grace. hope this turns out well. thank you very much. ahead, why researchers conducting the most comprehensive survey ever of sharks are so concerned and what their findings mean for our food supply. and a reminder, you can always get the morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast. hear the top stories in less than 20 minutes. we'll be right back. so through ancestry, i discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. she was only 17. bring your family history to life like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance ta-da!before. so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote.

in our series "eye on earth," a new report shows an alarming drop in worldwide shark populations. this unprecedented global study finds sharks have simply vanished from many places. the research was backed by funding from the late microsoft co-founder paul allen. before the pandemic and quarantine, mark phillips spent a day at sea with its lead authors for a story you'll see only on "cbs this morning." >> reporter: good morning. we're off the coast of florida near palm beach, and we're hunting for sharks. not because they're in the news for all the wrong reasons because in a lot of places there are too few for our own good. the authors of the study use a simple contraption with a complicated name. >> they did underwater video -- >> reporter: or bruv, bruv for short. a cage with bait at one end and

camera at the other. >> going in the water. >> reporter: damian chapman and mike hetehouse have been part of the comprehensive shark survey. did you invent this kind of photo trap, or was it pretty -- pretty common usage? >> i would say we perfected it. >> yeah. >> reporter: you drop it over board and lower it to the ocean floor. the project they call thin prohibprint has done this over 15,000 times over four years and in 58 countries. the idea is to leave the bruv for an hour and see how many sharks show up. sometimes in some places, quite a few. sometimes none. >> of the almost 400 reefs surveyed, 20% we didn't see a single shark. >> reporter: is that right? is that in itself an indicator of the problem? >> absolutely. >> reporter: caught by fishermen sometimes accidentally often on purpose to satisfy the growing shark meat market, populations have crashed. >> should come in right here --

>> reporter: in this drop off the florida coast, the pickings were slim. >> yeah. there's a shark -- >> that a shark -- >> big one. sometimes they'll have a sniff and just head right away. >> reporter: in fact, a loggerhead turtle seemed more interested in this free lunch than the sharks were. but by using the same setup, recording for the same amount of time on each drop around the world, the researchers have been able to draw the first comprehensive data-based conclusions about worldwide shark numbers. do you think the population's under crisis? >> i absolutely think this is a crisis. >> reporter: but a different kind of crisis -- one with a new term. the word extinction gets thrown around, verge of extinction, virtual extinction, what have you. do you use that phrase? >> for our survey we use the term functional extinction. >> reporter: functional extinction meaning there may be some sharks around, but there are not enough of them to perform their essential role of

controlling other marine populations. >> you might think let's get rid of predators so we can have more fish. it doesn't work that way. we lose predators, they eat out of house and home. when you lose top predators, ecosystems tend to unravel. >> reporter: there are bright spots in the study where marine protection zones have been introduced or fishing restrictions tightened so that fewer sharks are caught. their numbers have begun to come back. some people will say why are we worried about the sharks? they don't get a great press. >> sharks definitely need a new pr agency. what we're seeing is that you need to have healthy shark populations, you need healthy reefs, and that's going to ultimately help people, too. >> reporter: the study isn't only about gathering knowledge, it's about gathering ammunition. a way to convince governments and fishing communities around the world to do something. >> sharks don't get great press,

but we sure do need them. >> uaw. i know. i didn't really realize that until you start reading and learning about them. he's absolutely right. don't disparage the sharks. they are badly, badly needed and make a big difference in the environment. even though they are very scary. ahead in "what to watch," why chrissy teigen is publicly supporting tough action by twitter against a conspiracy theory group.

striking out keep you from playing the game. so i will play the game. >> agree. >> share a couple of stories we think you'll be talking about today. twitter is removing thousands of accounts linked to a conspiracy theory group that's been spreading disinformation and harassing people on line. the social media company is targeting accounts linked to q-anon or q. followers often seen at trump rallies believe in ckoconspiracs about child trafficking and deep state efforts to take down the president. and they are aggressive. they recently harassed actress and model chrissy teigen on line. the group linked her without any evidence to convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. they even began flooding accounts of her friends and their businesses. yesterday twitter says it had enough. banning 7,000 accounts and releasing the statement, "we've been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm." chrissy teigen tweeted, "you

don't have a right to coordinate attacks and make death threats. it is not an opinion to call people pedophiles who rape children." >> it was interesting, the twitter spokesperson who was communicating with the press didn't want their name in the press for fear of backlash. the issue with a conspiracy theory is when you try to remove the content, it's a self-sealing theory, meaning it reinforces the idea that it must all be true. i don't think this is the end of q-anon, not by a long shot. what else do you have for us? all right. heart-pounding video shows a woman trip and fall as a bison charges toward her. watch this. >> go -- >> go!

opener at 8:00. >> a drastic change in tone after months down playing the pandemic. >> the president seen the polls that shows that most americans don't approve with how he's handled the virus and it could cost him the election. >> it's a dramatic situation in texas. border communities are seeing their hospitals fill up. florida is averaging more deaths per day than any state in the country right now. about 115 a day. >> at least 15 people outside a funeral home were wounded in the latest gun violence to hit chicago. the former vice president, joe biden unveiled a plan that he says will help restore the economy. >> the $775 billion plan is designed to help working care givers with new ideas for expanding pre-can and access to care for kids and the elderly. this may be the cutest video of the day. posted with a caption, because you want to see a dog eating a

according to johns hopkins. that's one of america's highest single day death tolls since late may. >> in his first white house coronavirus briefing in months, president trump sharply changed his tone stressing the need to get outbreaks under control and he issueed this stark warning about the virus. >> some areas of the country are doing well. others less well. it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better. something i don't like saying about things but that's the way it is. >> the president appeared on his own following weeks of criticism about his response to the virus. he encouraged americans to cover their faces when they can't social distance to slow the spread of the virus. >> major garrett joins us now. we heard the president say for weeks, essentially, this is all going to just go away. now we have a significant shift in tone at the briefing. what do you think is behind

that? >> well, i know what's behind it based on conversations with republicans who are working day in and day out with the trump reelection campaign with senate republicans who are now very much worried that their senate majority is in jeopardy because of the president's sliding popularity and approval ratings. essentially, anthony, if you were to replay that briefing, and sub title it, that thing where the president said worse before it gets better is essentially the sub titles read like this. the poll numbers are real. my reelection is dimming. i have lost the confidence of swing voters across this country and i have to speak honestly to them to get a chance to win them back before the november election. that essentially is the political context behind this. advisers of the president have been telling him this for weeks. the new campaign manager i'm told has had some more proper interaction with the president persuading him about the data. kellyanne conway has been a strong voice for this. the president made the decision. he's trying to change the tone,

but for americans and those concerned about the future of the pandemic, policy has to change as well. we have to stay tuned for that. >> yeah. what's the significance, major, if any of the fact that the president appeared at this briefing alone. none of his health care advisers? >> that he owns this particular problem. that he has to take political and policy responsibility for where this is. and that he's going to be in charge of this new tone and this whole new direction, saying he's working with governors. talking about the importance of wearing a mask. telling youngsters don't go to crowded bars. the president was saying none of those things three or four days ago. now he has. he has attempted to reset the political framing and the policy framing around his response to the pandemic because he knows he is in genuine trouble. >> he tweeted a photograph of himself wearing a mask, but do you think he's likely to do that actually in public, major? >> well, he certainly created

more space for him to do that. and carrying it to the podium yesterday, bringing it out for the rarterring saying i would wear it creates a space for him to do that. it also sends a message to those in his base and within the republican party who have been resistance to masks and these other initiatives to take the virus as it is right now more seriously, a signal they now have political cover. from who? the president who is no longer sounding as skeptical as he did a week ago. that could change policy at the local level as well. give them maneuvering room to be more specifically from a policy perspective, engaged in public health initiatives to slow the spread of the virus. the president essentially giving them permission to do things he was not giving them permission to do a week ago. the white house knows if things don't start happening at a positive level at the state and local level to combat the virus, we're down not to the local officials detriment but to the

president. and he needs them to change the direction of this virus. and he's giving them permission and the rhetorical space to do that. >> quickly, where do things stand on a new relief bill? republicans on the white house are talking. there's a lot of disagreement. what's on the table? >> basically right now the senate republicans are trying to hold the line. they're divided among themselves. republicans are trying to hold the line about a trillion dollars. there will be more money for education and ppe and retrofitting businesses. there will be liability protections. the white house will not get the tax cut it wants. there's no support for that. thank you. norah o'donnell is speaking today with bill gates who has some big ideas on the subject. that's on our streaming service cbsn at 3:00 p.m. eastern. ahead how recent anti-semitic i said dents are causing some americans to look back at the long history of

anti-semitism is on the rise in the u.s. and in fact according to the anti-defamation league, a record

number of anti-semitic incidents occurred in the country last year. some of the latest high-profile incidents are reigniting a conversation about how to stop them. entertainer nick cannon and nfl wide receiver desean jackson apologized after being criticized for making anti-semitic comments. both said they would learn more about jewish culture and history. national correspondent jericka duncan joins us now. good morning. so what could they expect to learn? >> reporter: well, good morning to you, tony. you know, the african-american community and the jewish community, the relationship has been at times very strong. sometimes contentious and even complex. we decided to ache a look back at -- to take a look back at how we got here and what lies ahead. this instagram post sparked an unexpected conversation. philadelphia eagles wide receiver desean jackson posted a quote he attributed to adolph hitler. it read in part, "jews will blackmail america." >> i believe that this is only

through education that all people are the same. no difference as far as i'm concerned. >> reporter: so holocaust survivor edward mosberg turned it into a teaching moment. the 94-year-old invited jackson to visit auschwitz where nearly a million jews were murdered during hitler's regime. >> he immediately accepted. >> reporter: what does that say about desean jackson? >> well, it says that he's a gentleman. >> reporter: mosberg says he lost 16 relatives in the holocaust. he now travels the world to teach people about the horrors he and millions of others faced. how did you survive? >> by luck. that's all. >> reporter: mosberg and jackson's story of acceptance and learning derives from a deep and rich history. black and jewish americans have linked arm in arm in their fights for equality. terrence johnson is an associate professor at georgetown who teaches a class called "blacks

and jews in america." >> there's something about religion and politics that are deeply ingrained within the traditions, both of them blacks and american jews. and so when they see themselves fighting against, say, segregation, jim crow, anti-semitism, in the back of their mind they're thinking of the idea that god is with them in history. >> reporter: their intertwined paths brought them together during the civil rights movement, during what became known as freedom summer in 1964. two jewish men and one black man, andrew goodman, michael schermer, and james cheney were murdered while trying to register black americans to vote. their deaths and the subsequent media coverage sparked a major change in the portrayal of the movement. >> america must not remain silent. >> reporter: and at the historic 1963 march on washington, it was rabbi joachim prince who spoke before his friend dr. martin

luther king jr. >> bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problems. the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence. >> reporter: but the long-standing relationship has turned fraught at times with some members of both groups feeling that their concerns were no longer a priority for their partners. the crown heights riot of 1991 in brooklyn saw tensions between black and jewish communities escalate to violence, including the murder of an australian jewish student. >> both groups were trying to fight against racism, anti-semitism. both are trying to assimilate. both are having a difficult time in the process. and both are actually pushed and forced into a kind of strange and asymmetrical relationship. >> reporter: someone who believed in the power of a good relationship was congressman john lewis. >> sponsored young jewish leaders retreats. congressman lewis would spend

the evening with us. >> reporter: sherry frank worked side by side with congressman lewis on the black-jewish coalition in atlanta. >> we marched to important events. we spoke out in support of voting rights act. i see the future of black-jewish relations even strengthened by the stress and the polarization and the bigotry and anti-semitism and racism that's flourishing today. >> reporter: as for edward mosberg, he says he will continue until his last breath to bring blacks and jews together. does it feel like african-americans and jewish people should be more connected because of our plights? >> not more connected, they should be highly connected, okay. we went -- the jewish people went through the slavery in europe, okay. and the people here with slavery here by their own people. it was wrong, wrong, wrong.

>> reporter: wrong it was. mosberg and jackson have not visited auschwitz just yet. they're still in the planning stage. as we reflect on congressman john lewis this week, it was just last year that he and sherry frank helped to create the bipartisan congressional caucus on black and jewish relations. again, his legacy living on. gayle? >> oh, it's such an important story you just told. and my heart just melts with mr. mosberg. such an eloquent man and the way that he tells it. i think a lot of people should be taking the blacks and jews in america course. very enlightening story. thank you so much -- >> he invited us to go, as well. mosberg invited us to go on the trip with desean jackson. he sure did. >> are you going? >> reporter: it's up to "cbs this morning." i would love to cover that. it would be great. >> okay. there you go. diana miller, our producer,

said, yes, you're going. that's great. that's great. thank you very much. thank you, diana miller, thank you. an unheard song by the rolling stones is making its debut this morning. ahead, we'll play you the track that was recorded nearly 50 years ago. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that. we'll be right back. thank you, diana.

a michigan man is being honored for his heroic effort to save a child tossed from a burning building. >> throw the baby down! oh, my gosh -- >> whoa! >> that's 28-year-old phillip blanks dashing to the building to catch 3-year-old jamieson earlier this month in arizona where blanks was visiting. the boy's mother, rankle long, hurled him from the fiery balcony to save his life. jamieson is okay, but his mother did not survive. blanks, a former wide receiver and marine veteran, told our kalamazoo affiliate wwmt that

long, the mother, was the true hero. >> i wasn't expecting or asking for any of this attention. but god put me on this platform. he put me in the right place at the right time to be able to save jamieson. so i'm -- i'm thankful for all of that. and i wouldn't be here without rachel long who was a true hero. >> the city of kalamazoo honored blanks for his heroic catch and announced a scholarship in his honor. his instincts in that moment were extraordinary. >> his moves and then that moment. we all think we could step up in that way. i think he's right. the true hero here is the mother. her sacrifice and the -- how it must have in that apartment. it's a very difficult situation. glad the catch was made. ahead, members of the chicks, the band formerly known as the dixie chicks, talk about personal stories behind their first new album in 14 years.

good morning, it's 8:25. i'm len kiese and california's covid positivity and hospitalization rates are up. the seven day average for new cases is nearly 9200 a day. that's roughly 900 cases higher than the average last week. sacramento police say they were forced to shoot and kill a man at an apartment complex near sac state. an officer claimed to have fire only one shot and a rifle but neighbors of the complex heard multiple shots. the da in sacramento now investigating. the budget for oakland's police department won't be cut at least for now. mayor schaaf's vote of no during that meeting last night was the deciding vote that prevented the budget from being slashed by millions.

discussions over police reforms will continue. as we take a look at the roadways right now, we've got a little bit of a snag working westbound 580 at greenville over to the right shoulder. doesn't look like a lot of delays traffic has eased up nicely for that ride westbound 580 in the altamont pass there. if you are headed to 680 traffic is pretty light getting on to 680 itself and in fact, looking at the travel times, looking all this green so if you are about to head out the door you should be good to go for the most part. no delays on the eastshore freeway or highway 4 or 101. in fact 101 going to the golden gate bridge. extra volume southbound but no troubles across the span. mary? all right, well, low clouds and areas of fog even a little bit of drizzle in spots this morning. all thanks to the strong sea breeze as we head through the afternoon, daytime highs a little bit below average for this time of year, now chasing that sunshine inland and seeing highs in the low 80s for concord and san jose. partly sunny around the bay and cooler and breezy. mid 60s in san francisco and cool, cloudy and breezy along the coast

but is, in fact, about something else. the online retailer amazon has announced it is changing its packaging to minimize its carbon footprint. not that i'm against the environment, i care, i do, but i'd pick this story not because of the environmental benefits but because less packaging from amazon could quite possibly mean that there is less breaking down of boxes that i have to do every sunday before recycling day on monday. it is the absolute bane of my existence. i believe we have some footage here of me fighting through the tunnel of boxes in my house. it begins there on the floor, and then if you go under the stairs -- >> what's that face? >> that is -- that is -- look of determination as i prepare to go into that. every week, that's what i have to face down. >> oh. >> amazon, if you can shrink those boxes down, maybe just wrap it all in plastic, you know -- >> if they could create a self-collapsing box that -- >> i want it to self-destruct like the bond messages at the end. or is that "mission impossible"?

divorced. that theme's heard loud and clear throughout "gaslighter." ♪ how you sleep at night whoa ♪ >> we've all gone through hard breakups and relationships. we know what each other is going through ear have been through, but i think you try to bring your lyrics from your own experience. >> "slant" magazine called the album a fascinating, messy album that's steeped in personal and political rage. >> messy? what part is messy? >> i felt there was a couple of messy parts. is that a fair characterization? >> i think that's a compliment. to me, messy -- >> i do, too -- >> it's not slick. it's something that like -- you get sort of gritty in some of the lyrics. ♪ march march >> let's talk about "march, march." >> we had all gone to the march for our lives in d.c. and that was really inspiring.

we don't have to, you know, be a part of the group or, you know, that sort of thing. you can stand on your own and be an army of one for what you believe is important. ♪ >> and one thing the band thought was important -- changing the name. they've dropped the dixie and its associations with the confederacy. they are now simply the chicks. and you all felt that now was the right time to do it, why? >> because of everything that's going on in the world. >> i realize the country is having a moment. i realize that. >> absolutely. and it's one of those things where why wouldn't you? how couldn't you? like to just sort of be woke and realize, you know, oh, this word might be hurting people. that's never our intention. that's not who we are. i was like, okay. ran the rebel flag. we can change our name. we're doing it.

♪ wide open spaces room to make a big mistake ♪ >> as the dixie chicks, they took the country world by storm, racking up 13 grammys. on the eve of the iraq war, maines made a comments on the stage that would change the relationship between the bands and their fans. >> the backlash was swift and fierce and talented more than just their career. clearly your career wasn't over, but at the time did any of you think, okay, there is it for us? did -- this is it for us? did any of you have that thought? >> well, when natalie gotl her death threat, i thought this could be it for her. that was -- that was the real -- i remember emily and i saying, why are we doing this show? our lives are so much more important -- this is entertainment. ♪ i'm not ready to make nice i'm not ready to back down ♪

>> these chicks have never been ones to back down. after the controversy, they released one more album before going on their 14-year hiatus. ♪ back now they remain unapologetic. do you feel, natalie, that you have to minutce your words? >> i feel like i'm incapable. i say that but i feel like there was nothing wrong with what i said. >> somebody said my super power is not caring what people think. was that you, emily, who said that? >> i don't remember who coined that one. i remember saying that i like -- i have thicker skin than i did back then. ♪ >> what do you want people to feel about you as a group, the chicks, and certainly this latest music? >> i want people to feel that wire talented and that we have earned our success and that we're good people.

and that we do stands up for ourselves and are hopefully a good example for women and young girls. ♪ >> natalie, mission accomplished. you are talented and you're good people. the album "gaslighter" is really good. written while natalie was in the middle of a very -- how shall we say -- acrimonious divorce. you certainly hear that in the tracks. but the music and their voices together are really good. back in the day, they were -- their first name was the dixie chickens. they didn't like that. they changed it to dixie chicks. and now, you know, that's gone bye-bye. >> yeah. they -- >> feeling great. looking good. >> it's great to see them back. it's so interesting -- back in 1998, they sold more cds than like all other country music groups combined. when you listen to what they said that got them into trouble in the country worlds it seems pretty tame by today's standards. it sure did up-end their life. great to see them. >> i agree. i said to them, are you guys ready to make nice?

they said, depends on who's asking. i like them. i like them very much. depends on who it is. >> i love that song, "g "gaslighters." ahead in "the new normal," how the pandemic is creating unexpected dem 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. in our series "the new

normal," we look at how the pandemic is changing our everyday lives. this morning we're focusing on some of the shortages, many unexpected, that have emerged as americans spend more time at home and more time turning to diy projects. vlad duthiers's been tracking some of the items that have become hard to find. welcome to maryland -- >> reporter: armel possi is driving with his brother in search of lumber. that's right, lumber. >> it's frustrating having to drive around to find what you need. >> reporter: frustrating because of this -- a fencing that's unfinished. >> i'm at home depot. you can see most of the shelves are empty. >> reporter: and lumber nowhere to be found. >> to build a fence or deck, typically takes two or three days if i have everything i need. so far, i'm about two weeks, and i'm not done yet. >> reporter: all over the country, the need for lumber is

on the rise as restaurants are turning sidewalks and parking spots into outdoor dining havens. the wood is not the only item flying off the shelves. >> i'm trying to get a new bike. they told me i would have to preorder, it would be at least september. >> reporter: high demand but short supply as customers lined up at this bike shop in dallas even before store hours. >> certainly we have seen demand spike in a way that i have never witnessed in my 18 years here. >> reporter: from pools of all sizes -- >> have a 2-year-old at home. trying to survive. >> reporter: to coins, aluminum cans, and even puppies. there's been a nationwide shortage of some very unexpected items. >> the coronavirus certainly has played a role. but i think customer behavior has also played a role. >> reporter: sunil chopra is a professor at northwestern university. >> what covid-19 has done is provide a schrock to the system that these manufacturers did not anticipate. >> absolutely. it's provided a demand shock to the systems. people who otherwise would not

have bought those puzzles are buying puzzles now. same thing with exercise equipment. you have a sudden surge in demand which most suppliers are just not prepared for. >> reporter: a recent survey found that 97% of organizations reported a disruption due to the pandemic. fewer supplies combined with a boom in demand. >> everybody being home, they want to build decks. everything that was there is gone. >> reporter: are those projects really enough to fundamentally change the supply chain? >> in the long term, no. we are only going to do so many projects over the long term. in the short term, this does cause significant disruption. >> reporter: a disruption that armel and his brother have to deal with as they continue their cross-state pursuit for that perfect back yard. >> if i had to do there again, most likely i would take my time and put together or assemble everything that i need before starting. kind of defeating the purpose of having a privacy fence if you

don't complete the whole thing. >> reporter: i spoke to restaurants owners where they build the extensions with lumber. took weeks to procure from multiple suppliers. with more and more restaurants opting for outdoor dining just to survive the pandemic, the demand for those wooden planks and that fencing will keep going higher and higher. >> and as well as demands for the parking places that used to be where the fencing is. one shortage leads to another. scarce resources in city living. such is life. very interesting piece. i was surprised to see so many shortages particularly of exercise illegal immigrant. i'm as lazy as -- exercise equipment. i'm as lazy as ever. stay with us. look, this isn't my first rodeo... and let me tell you something, i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home.
