himself now rests in peace. >> the body of congressman john lewis was brought into the u.s. capitol to lay in state. >> never become bitter. never become hostile. never hate. live in peace. we are one. one people and one law. thank you very much. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. welcome to "cbs this morning." yesterday, i know we all spent time watching the services yesterday for john lewis. i got choked up, guys, watching it yesterday afternoon. and to hear his voice was eerie, but it was also very calming to see it yesterday, anthony and jericka. >> all the tributes have been so lovely, really. just perfect. >> what i love about him, he was never bitter. he had every right and every reason to be, but he was never bitter. treated everyone with respect.

>> yeah, and we're looking at -- we were just looking at live shots from the rotunda where his body is lying in state. nancy pelosi said it best when she said he always worked on the side of angels, and now he has joined the angels. a very touching morning yesterday. we'll have more on that later on. we're going to begin with a heated debate in washington which affects the finances of millions of american families. it was there on capitol hill last night that republicans unveiled plans for a new stimulus package to tackle the economic fallout of this pandemic. their plan calls for a $1 trillion stimulus with a "t" with the extra unemployment benefits cut from $600 to $200 a week. anthony? >> the democrats passed their $3 trillion plan in the house in may. it would keep the $600 federal unemployment bonus. paula reid is at the white house. that's a big gap between plans. what's the latest on negotiations? >> it's an enormous gap,

anthony. good morning. the showdown began last night. both sides agree on sending another round of stimulus checks, approximately $1200, and they also agree on allocating about 100 or $100 million for schools. but other than that, there are about $2 trillion apart and a deal remains far from certain. >> the pandemic is not finished. the economic pain is not finished. >> reporter: senate republicans made an opening offer to democrats last night. >> the heals act. that's health, economic assistance, liability protection and schools. >> the plan protects employers from being sued over covid transmission and extends some jobless benefits like the $600 weekly benefit that is set to expire. but republicans want to reduce the benefit to 70% to 75% of the wages a person made before covid. >> we want to continue to help

the unemployed, but we want to encourage work. >> reporter: the senate minority leader chuck schumer blasted the plan. >> the administration has bungled this crisis, and now they want to take $1600 out of your pocket every single month. >> as coronavirus cases continue to rise across the country, national security adviser robert o'brien became the highest ranking u.s. official to test positive. o'brien works in the west wing and closely with the president, but as he left the white house monday to head to north carolina, the president said he had not recently seen his top adviser. >> no, i haven't seen him lately. i heard he tested. yeah, i have not seen him. >> reporter: just as the virus reaches his inner circle, the president, while touring a biotech company in the battleground state of north carolina, offered a vague directive to some governors to reopen their economies. >> a lot of the governors should be opening up states that

they're not opening. >> reporter: the trump administration insisted that the coronavirus bill include nearly $2 billion for a new fbi headquarters building in downtown washington. this is unusual because it doesn't appear to have anything to do with covid and because the justice department's inspector general is investigating that project specifically and whether the president tried to influence that project to help his hotel which is just about a block away. anthony? >> paula reid, thanks. in our next hour, we'll talk with senate minority leader chuck schumer about the chances that democrats and republicans can bridge their differences and reach a deal. while the president calls for reopening to be accelerated in some parts of the country, his health experts are urging several states to scale things back. our lead national correspondent david begnaud joins us from miami beach. how is all of this back and forth affecting businesses there? >> well, take cafecito, run by a cuban family the last 40 years.

business is down 90% here and they're not sure how they'll stay open. here in miami-dade county and two nearby counties, almost 3,000 businesses have closed since early march. with jobs disappearing and some people set to lose their $600 check they've been getting from the government for the last several months, there's a lot of tension. and you can understand why. >> we're seeing a lot of just panic and people are very scared right now. >> reporter: adrian gonzalez doesn't know what his employees will do if his restaurant is forced to close. he's already reduced the staff of 17 to just 4. and on the west coast, a similar story for marty caballero who owns a portland barber shop. he and many people he knows, need the extra $600 they've been getting from the federal government. >> what happens when they shut us down again? there's no extra assistance. we're all getting the minimum, and no one can pay their bills at all. what happens then? >> the balance of lives and livelihood is the most difficult

thing of all of this. >> reporter: back in miami beach, the mayor, dan gelber, says his city's economy depends on businesses that draw people together. restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues. and he says the state's contact tracing program is not equipped to handle a reopening. >> 83% are not being called at all. there's no contact. they're not being told to quarantine. >> how does the lack of contact tracing affect you economically in miami beach? >> the contact tracing is, until we have a vaccine, the contact tracing is sort of a vaccine. >> the ongoing push between public health and economic concerns continue as many states see surges in cases. listen to what dr. deborah birx of the white house coronavirus task force said. >> we can see what is happening in the south moving north. there are states that do need to close their bars. to decrease indoor gatherings to less than 10. >> reporter: one of those states

is tennessee and dr. birx met with the governor bill lee but he waved off her recommendation. >> i've said there's nothing off the table. i've also said we're not going to close the economy back down, and we're not going to. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci is urging states. listen to dr. birx. >> we've got to make sure that other states that are starting to show an uptick do what we're talking about before you get the major surge. >> reporter: dr. birx also used arizona as an example. that state's governor didn't want to roll back the reopening, but he decided to because the cases were surging there. and within the last four weeks, dr. birx says arizona has started to turn things around because they rolled back their reopening. and she's now using them as an example for tennessee and other states as to why they should consider tougher measures. gayle? >> boy, david, i always think it's a good idea to listen to the scientists, the experts who seem to know what they're talking about when it comes to this topic.

thank you very much, david begnaud, reporting from florida. now to signs of significant progress for two potential coronavirus vaccines. this is encouraging news. moderna and pfizer started large-scale trials yesterday. the first in the u.s. out of more than 150 vaccines in development. about two dozen are already being tested on humans. meg oliver is outside a moderna test strategy in new jersey. meg, we are all waiting and hoping for good news here. good morning to you. >> good morning, gayle. a readout from moderna's phase 3 trial could come by november. so there's a chance a vaccine could be ready by the end of the year. volunteers have started receiving either the vaccine or placebo in this blind study that experts hope can finally bring this coronavirus pandemic under control. >> it seems quite possible that we may very well have results by november or december. maybe possibly a little earlier. >> reporter: national institutes of health director dr. francis

collins has high hopes for the vaccine his agency developed with moderna. and says 30,000 volunteers are being chosen based on their risk of exposure. >> they'll be in areas where the virus is still spreading. we will see whether any of them actually get sick. >> reporter: dr. hana el-sahly says if the vaccine can work in over half the volunteers it would be a major step to protecting the entire country. >> i've seen some modeling around what level of immunity is needed. and the modeling places it at somewhere between 50% and 60% herd immunity. >> reporter: pfizer's late-stage trial announced monday will also include 30,000 participants in 39 u.s. states, as well as brazil, germany and argentina. both vaccines use a piece of rna genetic code which tells the

cells of the body to make a safe, modified version of the viral protein. that triggers an immune response. tv anchor dawn aker got the very first dose of the moderna vaccine monday morning. >> i got tired of just sitting here worried that i can't do anything more than wear a max and stay away from people. it's good to know i could be a part of what could be the ultimate solution. >> reporter: even if a vaccine is approved and available, there's question as to how many would take it. a cbs news poll on monday showed only 30% of adults would get a vaccine as soon as possible. 50% would consider it or wait to see what happens. and 20% said they'd never get one. cbs news medical contributor dr. david agus says the usual financial and regulator y hurdls were pushed aside when it came to the development of a covid vaccine. >> we've compressed it all into an amazing time period because we need it. because there was no choice.

this is a war on our soil, and we have to respond. >> reporter: top health officials, including dr. anthony fauci, stress no measures are being cut in the development of any of these vaccines. dr. david agus says all safety protocols are being followed except one. long-term studies. and that's simply because we need the vaccine now. anthony? >> we sure do, meg. thank you. later today, an army national guard officer, major adam demarco will challenge the white house's version of what happened when peaceful protesters were cleared from lafayette square last month. demarco, an eyewitness, is expected to tell congress protesters were tear gassed to clear way for the president's photo op. events demarco calls deeply disturbing and unnecessary. the white house has repeatedly denied that.

this comes as the administration's tactics in major cities across the u.s. face strong criticism from democrats. cbs news has learned, president trump is preparing to send up to 100 more federal agents to portland. attorney general bill barr is among the defendants in a new lawsuit accusing president trump of creating a national police force. he'll likely face questions on this during his own capitol hill testimony today. he's expected to attack democrats who accuse him of pol politicizing the justice department. members of the public continue to pay tribute and pay their respects to the late congressman john lewis as he lies in state at the u.s. capitol. because of the pandemic, lewis' casket sits just outside the capitol building. yesterday a hearse carrying his body made one last trip around washington, d.c., before fellow lawmakers paid tribute at a service in the rotunda.

nancy cordes is on capitol hill with more on what lawmakers had to say about congressman lewis. >> good morning, jericka. john lewis will lie in state all day today there at the top of the east front steps of the capitol where you see those flowers. and then down at the bottom of the steps you can see the ropes that have been laid out for the public to walk by in a socially distanced way. a unique outdoor approach to lying in state at a time when the capitol building is closed to visitors. thousands of grateful americans braved a d.c. heat wave to bid farewell to a civil rights giant. >> overnight, the whole world has changed. and it all started with him. >> i'm standing on the great shoulders of people like that. for us to have a better life. >> reporter: john lewis served in congress for 33 years. a close colleague of house

speaker nancy pelosi. who blew one last kiss good-bye. >> we knew that he always worked on the side of the angels, and now we know that he is with them. >> reporter: senate majority leader mitch mcconnell call the one-time freedom rider a peacemaker. >> history only bent toward what's right because people like john paid the price to help bend it. >> i won't be going, no. >> reporter: president trump dii not attend the ceremony. but vice president mike pence came later to pay his respects. as did former vice president joe biden. before arriving at the capitol, the hearse carrying lewis' casket took a final journey through washington, past the memorial to his mentor, martin luther king jr. and the lincoln memorial, where lewis was the youngest speaker at the 1963 march on washington. >> we do not want our freedom gradually, but we want to be free now. >> reporter: the motorcade also

drove through black lives matter plaza. near the white house where lewis stood in solidarity with the movement's next generation just last month. his final public appearance. >> i wanted to show them a part of history. >> reporter: we met kathy ellsworth and her daughters. >> he had been doing things, getting involved, getting in good trouble. and that's just so inspiring to me. >> reporter: echoing lewis' own words which echoed through the capitol on monday. >> you must find a way to get in trouble. good trouble. necessary trouble. >> reporter: tomorrow lewis' body will be flown to atlanta where he will lie in state at the georgia state capitol. then on thursday, six days of public ceremonies will come to an end with a service at the historic ebenezer baptist church in atlanta. gayle?

teams around the league don't play ball. in a surprise move the miami marlins battled the philadelphia phillies on sunday despite four positive tests within the organization. now that number has reportedly jumped to 13. >> every day we're take risks. so that's what the players all arond the league are doing. everybody, you know, as i talked it over today. >> reporter: the marlins outbreak is creating a ripple effect across the league. monday night major league baseball postponed a marlins-orioles and yankees-phillies games out of precaution. >> this is literally the sport's worst nightmare. >> reporter: the senior baseball writer. >> baseball had a plan. has 113 pages worth of protocols. so it has plans to deal with almost everything. but there's no specific language that deals with a situation quite like this where you have multiple infections on one team.

we are following breaking news. fire crews are fighting a massive five alarm structure fire in the south of market neighborhood. here is the scene right now with all of that heavy smoke. what we know is the fire broke out at a commercial structure nearly an hour ago. mass of flames and of course the heavy smoke you are seeing

in this picture. crews are out there, trying to douse the flames. this is located next to highway 101 between fulton street near 13th street. here is video from the citizen house. they are warning people to avoid the area and there are live wires. this is the ladder pipes being sent up and we know the fire has collapsed one building so far, and this is a largely industrial area of the city with big warehouse is on the block but police are reportedly evacuating homes nearby. we know about 150 firefighters have responded to the scene and taking another look live at the scene, at this point no injuries have been reported and we have a photographer on scene and another group heading out there. we will continue to provide live updates as we get them and jonathan has an update on the road closures because of the fire. it is still

it's tuesday, july 28th, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning". i'm gayle king with anthony mason, tony dokoupil is off but we got it covered, our national correspondent jericka duncan is stimulus slowdown, congress fights over an urgently needed new package to help millions of americans. senate minority leader chuck shumler tell us about the state of the negotiations. jill schlesinger on how you should think about your financial future during the pandemic. and one man's treasure, new yorkers step up with some detective work to help an artist forced to quit the city by the

virus. first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. a heated debate in washington, republicans unveiled plans for a new stimulus package to tackle the economic fallout of the pandemic. >> both sides agree on another round of stimulus checks and allocating about $100 billion for schools, but other than that, there are about $2 trillion apart. >> jobs disappearing and some people set to lose the $600 check they've been getting from the government for the last several months. there's a lot of tension and you can understand why. >> there is a chance a vaccine could be ready by the end of the year, that experts hope could bring this pandemic under control. >> john lewis will lie at the top of the east front steps of the capitol, unique outdoor approach at a time when the capitol building is closed to visitors this was a scenario major league baseball was concerned about, a major outbreak within a single team. >> home plate umpire tosses a

player from the pirates and new rules, you have to social distance and mask up to argue. >> props to these two. this san expert demonstration on what it means to take coronavirus seriously. because yes, these guys wanted to fight, but they also know that coronavirus is waiting to beat both of them up. plus definitely slows down a fight when you have to purel off every single punch. >> it does seem like it would be hard to argue and hard to fight when you have to do gloves and put on a mask. welcome back to "cbs this morning." no arguing and fighting here. somebody sent out a blue memo. in three different places and put on some shade of blue. i love it. i don't know how it happened but i like it. >> something in the air, gayle. >> always good to be seen. >> we're going to begin with two big developments in the race to deal with the coronavirus

pandemic and its economic fallout. two stage three vaccine trials are under way in the united states. two companies, moderna and pfizer started the trials yesterday and both will include about 30,000 participants. the first person to get the moderna vaccine is news anchor dawn baker, from our cbs affiliate in savannah, georgia. >> it's just sad to hear the state that our country is in and just knowing that a vaccine probably is the only way out, so i figured i could deal with the side effect is a cold or a fever, that's the least i could do. i got tired of just -- >> this came as senate republicans officially released their version of a coronavirus stimulus plan, while it includes a second round of $1,200 payments, it would only extend additional unemployment payments by $200 a week through september. that's compared to the current payment of $600. starting in october, a worker's lost wages would be covered up

to 70%. >> joining us from capitol hill is new york senator and democratic minority leader chuck schumer. senator, good morning. >> good morning, anthony. >> negotiations with the white house started last night. you and house speaker nancy pelosi were there. where do we stand right now? >> well, unfortunately we're pretty far apart right now, although i'm optimistic we could have a good solution at the end. here is where we are now. we democrats have put together a package that is bold and strong and deals with the average needs of people. we don't let them get kicked out of their homes because they've lost their job through no fault of their own. we give them a good amount of unemployment insurance so they can pay. we put in money to feed kids. we put in money to open schools safely. people want schools open but it has to be done safely and we give money to state and local governments because hundreds of thousands of firefighters and bus drivers and garbage workers will be laid off. the republican plan does almost none of these things.

it is stingy. it doesn't provide any money, for instance, for more food for people who need to feed their kids. their unemployment insurance, you're telling people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own they get a 30% pay cut. it does nothing for state and local governments, is woefully inadequate in helping our schools open. instead amazingly it has all the corporate benefits. no money for food stamps, but deduction for three-martini lunch for a big businessman, big cushion for defense contractors no, cushion for people kicked out of their house and to boot president trump wants the fbi headquarters built near his hotel so no new competing hotel could come in, $2 billion for that. the bottom line is and one more point, half the republicans of the senate even think that's too generous. so we're pretty far apart and negotiations were disappointing. >> senator, the supplemental benefit unemployment benefit has

already run out for a lot of people, due to run out for a lot more by the end of the week. so if you're this far apart, what is the real hope here of getting a deal so these people aren't in a panic as our david begnaud reported from florida? >> if you did the republican plan most states said unemployment plans are running out. many states say it would take months before people get their checks. the simple solution the house is passed and we senate democrats support extending the existing $600 a month 'til january. that could go into effect easy, that can help our economy, because it puts money in people's pockets and then they buy things and go to the stores, that's the only thing that's kept the economy going, and we can get it done. >> but senator, i'll -- >> we urge our republican colleagues, you know, in the last two bills, the last two covid bills they were very stingy. we democrats said it had to be better and they came in our direction. i'm hopeful that will happen

again. >> the republican argument, senator, as you know is that the $600 supplemental is essentially not an incentive for people to go back to work. it's keeping them from going back to work. >> that misreads the american people. people want jobs, permanent jobs. they don't want to stay on unemployment and the evidence of how many people doing that is very, very small. what's really happening is that they want to favor the big corporate interests as opposed to the average person who needs this money, and every economist has said the unemployment insurance has done more to prevent us, prevent the recession from getting greater than now. why cut it, and instead put the money into these corporate things? i don't get it. >> the white house says if you can't reach an agreement, you should pass a narrower bill. would you support that? >> well, you're going to choose. we should help the unemployed, but not help people be kicked out of their homes, not help feed people, not help schools open. there are so many needs. remember, this is the greatest

economic crisis we have had since the great depression. this is the greatest health crisis since the spanish flu. we need a bold package. we believe the republicans will have to move in our direction because the public is completely on our side. even republican economists are on our side. they're being held back by a group of hard right wing people in the senate who don't want to spend any money on anything and say let the people be damned. >> is eviction protection part of this bill? >> it's part of our bill but not part of theirs. people will be kicked out of their houses starting next week. we can't let that happen. >> so you're going to have to give up something, senator. where do you think you can meet the republican side? >> well look, we're happy to sit down and talk and roll up our sleeves and try. we sat down with mnuchin and with meadows last night. >> chief of staff, yes. >> and there has to be some kind of, you know, there has to be some kind of meeting, but you cannot forego the desperate needs of people because there's

a small band of hard right republicans saying don't do anything. as i said, the last three bills, the republicans started out very narrow. we democrats held our ground and said there were a lot of needs and they moved in our direction. i'm very hopeful that will happen again and we'll be able to meet these needs. >> so both bills prioritize schools, but you're offering significantly more money. >> not only more money. we offer money to, schools have real problems in opening. >> yes, they do. >> if you give every kid a mask and every teacher a mask, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars. you probably have to have two bus routes, sitting in a bus next to each other, one seat, double the bus routes. schools want to convert their gyms, their cafeterias to classrooms. you need some help with distance learning for people who don't have adequate wifi. there's a lot to be done and we provide for it. this is a huge crisis, and if we are too stingy, it's going to get worse. that's what the president's actions have shown thus far. we're trying to overcome it.

>> the clock is ticking here, senator. can you reach a deal by the end of next week? >> i hope so, and that's what we're working for. we'll sit down. we're going to sit down again today. we'll sit down 24/7. people's needs sore great that we'll do whatever we can to reach a deal but without foregoing basic needs. >> thank you for being with us. >> good to talk to you. ahead estate planning, we'll talk to jill schlesinger the importance of making a will and having vital documents

a proposed class action lawsuit against a major hospice care provider is raising new questions about who is an essential employee. a california sales representative who is suing vitas health care claims managers wanted her to visit medical facilities despite the pandemic. she says vitas endangered her and others by labelling its workers as essential and sending the home nursing homes and medical offices. consumer investigative correspondent anna warner has been following this story. >> reporter: good morning. when many people, when their lives can no longer be saved many people go into hospice for comfort care. now someone sells that service but some say their company has been too aggressive in selling during this pandemic. >> what's happening is wrong. it's putting people's lives in danger. and it needs to stop.

>> reporter: what kristina eisenacher says need to stop senior practices of her own employer, vitas health care, the nation's largest for profit hospice company. >> i didn't want to speak out. but there was really no choice when people's lives are at stake. >> reporter: kristina eisenacher worked as a sales representative, visiting medical facilities to get referrals for hospice patients. >> the role really includes visiting doctors and educating them on what the company has to offer. >> reporter: but in mid-march, shelter-in-place orders were put in because of the pandemic. but a few days later she got a robocall from her employer. >> all vitas staff are considered essential health care workers. report to work as scheduled. governor's stay-at-home order does not apply. >> do you think you were essential? >> no. as a sales person you are not essential and you have no

business being in a hospital or doctor's office. >> they didn't want you there. >> they didn't us there. >> reporter: because of that, kristina eisenacher refused and some weeks later sued. kay van wey is her attorney. >> this is health care sales. this is not rendering health care services to patients. >> reporter: yet text messages we obtained showed vitas sales people visiting multiple bay area nursing homes and doctors offices during the pandemic. they took numerous selfies with health care workers some bringing gifts of pizza, chicken or doughnuts. under one picture a rep even wrote six boxes of these made their way into a local nursing home that isn't allowing food in from the outside. a fellow employee texted back, sneaky, sneaky. another email shows a manager running a weekend referral contest saying whoever gets the most selfies with medical

personnel could win. personnel including nursing home staff, emergency room staff, physicians or nurses. >> my mom and dad are in their he 70s. if it was my parents in one of these facilities and i had any idea what this company was doing, i would be outraged. >> it's not appropriate. >> reporter: this former vitas sales rep who didn't want to be identified told us her managers wanted her to keep visiting centers with cancer patients. >> i'm a danger to them. even if i have the flu i'm a danger to them. and so the fact that they continue to ask me to do this when it was not in the best interest of patients, but telling me that it was, was insane. it was like living in the twilight done. >> reporter: she tried to get permission to work from home but later was fired. vitas would not comment on kristina eisenacher's case or do an interview but in a statement it said representatives work directly with health care partners toed indicate them and support hospice care

transitions. our representatives are critical to ensuring access to hospice care for health care partners and there by hospice eligible patients making them essential workers in the health care system. >> do you believe that this was about providing the best care for patient? >> no. because if it was then why would we be putting patients lives potentially in danger. >> what do you think it was really about? >> making more money. they are in the business of death. unfortunately, their employees could have been contributing to more deaths. to their benefit. >> reporter: in a response to the lawsuit filed last week vitas said it has not violated any law or regulation and denied the allegations. anthony? >> but it does hardly seem essential to make sales calls during a pandemic. thank you very much. ahead basketball star kyrie irving kifs a majgives an assis

limping today. we have a bear of a story. so i want to know how did this story turn out? does kenton still have both legs? have both feet? >> gayle's wild k san francisco fire crews are battling a massive fire in the south market neighborhood. the fire broke out in a commercial building just before 7:00. massive flames and heavy smoke continued to rise from the scene. this is next to highway 101 between south van ness and fulton street. here is video from our crew on scene. fire officials are warning people to avoid the area as there are live wires down the

entire block of 14th street. they have had their power shut off. the fire has collapsed one building so far and other businesses in the area are reportedly catching fire as well. 150 firefighters have responded to the scene and no injuries have been reported. this is a largely industrial area of the city with big warehouse is on the block. police are reportedly evacuating some homes nearby. a second look at closures now in that area. there are closures on t street and south van ness. also, this is visible. it is just east of there, or you will see a lot of brake lights. we will try to avoid the area. you will see closures on the south van ness ramp to southbound 101, causing delays

welcome back to cbs this morning. it's time to bring you some of the story that we call talk of the table. this is always my favorite part of the show. so i can't wait to see what you have chosen. you're in pole position. >> the brooklyn nets kyrie irving is helping ease the financial burden of wnba players who are opting out of playing this season. star is pledging $1.5 million of his own money to help athletes who do not want to hit the court because of coronavirus concerns, or for social justice reasons. irving said he made the decision

after linking up with players who discussed the challenges they faced in deciding whether to play. the funds will come from the kyle initiative which was launched yesterday. he's also doing this in conjunction with ubs which is a wealth management company in addition to offering that $1.5 million he's also offering financial literacy for some of the women that apply and are able to take part in this program. so great job, kyrie irving. >> incredible gesture. >> a good one. >> really incredible gesture. so glad to see. >> mine is this. i want to take a moment to pay tribute to kansai yamamoto. he died at 76 after a battle with leukemia. you know his work through david bowie. he met david bowie in 1973 and design some of bowie's most iconic outfits which is that one

the tokyo pop body suit. he became instrumental in bowie's stage presence. he was also known for his signature colorful creations and incorporating japanese designs into fashion. he was the first designer to show at london fashion week. he said my clothes became a part of david, his songs and music and david bowie wanted to go crazier if you can imagine. the colors. the designs. just incredible stuff. anyway, we lost a really great designer who made a major mark on rock and roll in his day. gayle? >> yeah. you're right, anthony. i didn't know the name but certainly know the work when you pointed it out. my story is the santa barbara bureau. we all love being here. this is our final week. we're having santa barbara withdrawal. yesterday after the show this is what happened to us. we were still taping.

we were taping affiliates. then door opens. this is what we were told. >> miss king, please stay inside the residence. we have a bear directly to the front of the residence. >> a bear bear. >> a black bear sighting. >> how big. >> a good size adolescent bear. >> can we really not go out and look. >> no. you're not advisable to go out and look now. >> no, gayle you really can't go out and look. if you want to know why alex wouldn't let us take a peek this is it. he called it an adolescent bear. this little guy was roaming around town. this was from some security video not from this property. just roaming around town. could have been a little worse because at least the bear didn't bust down the door like this footage. every time i see this it cracks me up. this is a bear coming in. >> i love this. >> who can forget -- yes this

too. the video we showed you last week of a black bear interrupting a hike and the hiker took a selfie. fortunately she was okay. that's absolutely something i would not have done. but we found out more about our bear that was in the neighborhood. he apparently had been hit by a truck. was okay. he came down from the woods. hit by a truck. and heading back up to the woods and was last seen leaving the property. leaving the area. but it was very -- you know when i saw the picture, that freaked us out a little bit. i personally don't want to have a bear encounter. they were here in oprah's guest house in santa barbara. she owned this property foreclose 20 years. never seen a bear. it would have been very interesting if oprah had an encounter with the bear. >> here's what happens, something happens? >> no, i was just making a joke. at his expense. he's really okay. we never came in contact with the bear.

i'm glad you cleared that up because ken's mother watches and we don't want her to think anything happened. >> i know somebody that is close tokenton that watches. >> i loved your question. >> she's watching too. >> i loved your question of the security guard is it a bear bear? there's black bears. bear bear. >> i don't care what kind of a bear it is, i have a tough time with dogs. >> i like you looking out for ken's significant other. i like that. she will appreciate that. all right. moving on. here we go. in this moaning's "eye on money" a look at some important financial planning decisions to consider during this pandemic. look at jericka duncan holding it down. has many teachers prepare to the classroom some are worried about making contingency plans. >> i'm concerned about going back to school. i'm concerned about my health and life and that's why my

husband and i decided to write our wills. >> it's not just an issue for teachers. before this pandemic a december survey found the number of americans who have a will or other estate planning document have dropped by nearly 24% since 2017. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger says not having a will is a big, big mistake. she joins us to discuss why. jill, i know from personal experience after being, how shall we say being harassed by you, i have a will but i have no idea where it is. you look appalled and said you got take care of that. under jill's guidance i contact ad lawyer who you recommended. she's great. i now have a will. a fully proper will. but why is it so important to do that? regardless of your income, regardless of what you do. >> you know, think of a will as your instruction manual when you pass away and it's sovy all the

that people know what your wishes are. there are three basic documents. a will. the legal instrument that essentially says to the world here's where my stuff goes and to whom it goes. there are two other document that are so important right now, especially. one is called a durable powerful attorney. that allows somebody to act on your behalf for a financial matter. so maybe if you're laid up and sick and need to make a change in your retirement account or respond to a tax inquiry from the irs. of course, the health care proxy which has become sovy all tbrib so vital right now. people can act on your behalf at your direction. again, if you don't do this, it's totally irresponsible. you'll have me in the back ever your brain all the time

reminding you. >> that's the word that got me when you used the word irresponsible. i don't want to of being called irresponsible. so, what happens if you can't be there in person to sign the papers. a lot of us can no longer do things in person. >> i think that first off when you talk to estate attorneys there are places where you can be socially social distancinged pen to sign documents. if that's not an option there are some states that are allowing video signings. it's a little tricky. every state is different. check with your attorney. but in that video signing you need to have the printed document. you have to show the document. you got have the attorneys there. the counter parties there. you have to have witnesses there. notarys there. everything has to get sent off to the attorney's office. this is incredibly important. if do you this, do at any time right way. >> are there any other important

legal documents as we run out of time here that you say that we must take care of at this particular time and have available? >> i think amid the pandemic a few things to remember. once you have that health care proxy it's no good if somebody doesn't have the document. physically make sure somebody either has the document printed whitney houston is your agent, or, of course, stroelectronical and for older relatives paste it on the inside of your older relatives homes or apartments hearing proxy name and contact information. we have heard stories amid the pandemic where people come in to the apartment, they don't know who to call and no documents to be found. please take this with a grain of salt when i say i hope you never need any of these documents any time soon but you may. so let's be clear. >> jill, that's really good advice. your phone number for people who

have more questions? >> ask jill @jillonmoney.com. >> thank you, jill schlesinger. always good to say. ahead how the kindness of strangers solved the mystery of precious artwork left behind when an artist quit new york city bec 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
