presidential election. >> do i want to see a date change? no. but i don't want to see a crooked election. >> after a long legal fight to keep them secret, a cache of documents in a civil suit against ghislaine maxwell have been unsealed. herman cain died after battling covid-19. he had been in the hospital since the beginning of july. >> all that -- >> a man goes swimming in an aquarium. police were notified after the video started making waves. >> and all that matters. >> ball is up, and the nba is back. >> back with a bang. two games in the restart. each decided by two. >> puts it up and in! lebron james gives the lakers the lead. >> on "cbs this morning." >> he's been called an american saint, willing to give up everything that we could build a world of peace and justice, harmony and dignity and love. >> family, friends and three former presidents gathered to say a final farewell to civil rights icon john lewis.

>> i just love him. i always will. and i'm so grateful that he stayed true to form. >> a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance. john robert lewis. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." i know we all watched that service from beginning to end. it was so good to see barack obama who i thought summed it up really well when he said the life of john lewis was exceptional. so many moments, vlad and jericka, to what we saw yesterday. >> absolutely. especially even seeing reverend james lawson. this is someone that was hand in hand with dr. king and standing ovation he got. >> yes, yes. from beginning to end, it was really, really lovely.

we're going to begin this weekend talking about the coronavirus. the country faces huge challenges on multiple fronts. there's gridlock in congress over federal unemployment benefits set to expire today for about 30 million americans. for the fourth day in a row, the death toll in the coronavirus crisis was more than 1,000 people. jericka? >> and all this coming as hurricane -- a hurricane bears down on the eastern u.s. it's likely to hammer states already badly affected by the pandemic. we start this morning with that looming storm threat with chief weathercaster lonnie quinn and wcbs tv. where is this hurricane headed? >> good morning. this is moving towards the bahamas and possibly toward the coastline of florida. let's take a peek at the current stats. while you were sleeping last night, this storm has bumped up now to hurricane isaias. 80-mile-per-hour winds. moving to the northwest at 17 miles an hour. it's a fast mover as of right now. 350 miles to the southeast of the bahamas.

we believe some time tonight or tomorrow it bumps up to a category 2. maybe making a landfall somewhere around nassau, maybe freeport, that was devastated just last year by dorian. and then moves toward the florida coastline. the skinny red line is offshore, but you have to watch the cone. the cone does include the florida coastline and the cone also includes a good portion of the northeast. we made landfall around the outer banks as a cat 1 on tuesday. somewhere around cape cod tuesday. maybe affecting philadelphia and new york because, again, the skinny red line is offshore but the cone includes the big cities. this is the wind field. as for florida, as of right now, this could change, the biggest wind field would be around ft. pierce, about 39 miles per hour and it pushes offshore. so as of right now, looking good. looks okay for florida but keep your eye on this because they change all the time at the last minute. vlad, back to you. >> lonnie, thank you very much. the storm could not be coming at a worse time for florida where resources are

already stretched thin amid a surge of coronavirus cases. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in miami. david, can the state handle another crisis right now? >> look, vlad. they'll tell you they can but i'm reminded what the head of the emergency management agency said to me four weeks ago. we are spending as many resources on this pandemic as we would normally spend on a category 5 hurricane. now you just heard lonnie, the projection as of now looks good. but florida is preparing for a potential landfall just in case that storm starts to move. >> we do expect to see impacts to the state of florida. >> reporter: the state of florida's coronavirus response now includes managing a potential hurricane. at the gladiolus food pantry, the executive director is worried about the strain the virus is already putting on resources. >> people are not prepared for the pandemic. i don't know how we'll prepare if we have a hurricane coming. >> capacity also is a concern at miami-dade's hard-hit hospitals.

dr. david de la zerda runs an icu at jackson memorial hospital. >> if there's a big storm and you have sick people or injured people, we'll have an issue where to actually put all these patients. >> what's the situation in the ius? >> icu is completely full. very young and sick patients. >> reporter: florida recorded a new high for coronavirus deaths for the third consecutive day. arizona and mississippi also reported record-breaking increases. and average daily deaths are rising in at least 17 states nationwide. and as millions of americans apply for unemployment every week, some states are struggling to provide that assistance. >> many of the people in my district have had no income. no income since march. >> reporter: in california, the unemployment development department is backlogged so they haven't paid out more than a million unemployment claims. >> start as early as 6:00 in the morning and be on the phone 12

hours. >> reporter: linda margolin has waited six weeks for her unemployment check. >> right now they owe me close to $5,000. i've received one benefit. >> reporter: when we think about parents getting back to work, we have to think about the children. there is new data from the "journal of the american medical association" which says young kids who were infected may have as much virus in their nose and mouth as us adults do. most kids do not suffer from severe symptoms, and it's unclear if having that much in their nose and mouth affects their ability to spread it to people. as we've said and continue to say the doctors are still learning, and so are we. >> i know this. nobody wants to take any chances with their children, but to think about covid and a possible hurricane? david, it's just too much. thank you very much. the $600 extra weekly unemployment benefits are officially ending today for millions of americans. lawmakers, though, are still struggling to find a way to keep

them going. another 1.4 million people filed for unemployment benefits last week. this comes as the economy plunged nearly 33% at an annual rate in the second quarter. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with more on this. what is the latest on the deadlock there? >> well, the latest, gayle is that leaders from both sides negotiated late into the night, trading offers, but they left without a deal. and so that $600 federal jobless benefit, it appears will expire today. and that means that as many as 30 million americans could see their unemployment checks drop 50% to 75%. republicans and the white house are now pushing a short-term extension of the benefits for maybe a couple of weeks or a couple of months as they continue to negotiate the overall trillion, multy trillion rescue package which would include another round of the 1200 stimulus checks. but democrats say they're not

doing this and they blame republicans for waiting months to come to the negotiating table. white house chief of staff mark meadows said last night that he is now pessimistic that the two sides will reach a deal before the senate leaves for recess at the end of next week. and once they go, jericka, they are not scheduled to return until september 8th. >> wow. so hopefully, hopefully they figure something out very soon. nancy, thank you. president trump heads to florida to fundraise today after a tweet yesterday suggesting the november election could be delayed. he has no constitutional power to do that. mr. trump also continues to make unsubstantiated claims that increased mail-in voting will result in fraud. paula reed is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. jericka, the president made this headline-grabbing suggestion as the headlines were dominated by other unfavorable stories on growing unemployment, his sagging polls and, for him, the

funeral of civil rights icon john lewis, which the president did not attend. the president doesn't even have the power to move the election. that lies with congress, where this suggestion was flatly rejected. >> do i want to see a date change? no. but i don't want to see a crooked election. >> reporter: it was the president's most dramatic attempt to undermine public confidence in u.s. elections, claiming, without evidence, that widespread mail balloting is already a catastrophic disaster and would lead to the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history. >> i also don't want to have to wait for three months and then find out that the ballots are all missing and the election doesn't mean anythin. >> reporter: republicans, including senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, flatly rejected the idea. >> never in the history of thech country through wars, depressions and the civil war, have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time. and we'll find a way to do that again this november 3rd.

>> as a congressman, he didn't rest. >> reporter: delivering the eulogy at john lewis, president barack obama warned against those trying to suppress votes. >> even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting. even undermining the postal service in the run up to an election that's going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don't get sick. >> reporter: president trump's provocative suggestion came shortly after news that the u.s. economy shrank at the fastest pace on record from april to june. and a day after the u.s. reached 150,000 deaths from the virus, on thursday, an ardent supporter of president trump, herman cain, died after being hospitalized with covid for several weeks. the former pizza ceo and presidential candidate attended the president's indoor rally in tulsa on june 20th. and was photographed not wearing a mask or social distancing.

cain was considered high risk because of his previous bouts with liver and colon cancer. in a statement, though, his team says they just don't think it's possible to trace exactly how he contracted covid. yesterday president trump called cain a very special person. vlad? >> paula reid at the white house, thank you very much. breaking news out of southern california this morning. a search and rescue mission is under way for eight missing service members after a training accident turned deadly. it happened yesterday evening off the coast near san clemente island. military officials say the routine training exercise involved an amphibious assault vehicle similar to the one here. at least one marine was killed. tworths two others are in the hospital. there is no word yet on what caused the accident. the marines say an investigation is under way. as john lewis was laid to rest in atlanta yesterday, he was described as a hero, a legend, a gentle, humble giant and loving, caring friend.

there were not enough accolades to describe this man. his funeral was held at the ebenezer baptist church where he worshipped many, many times. those honoring him called on americans to continue on his path toward his righteousness and equality. cbs this morning saturday co-host michelle miller is in atlanta. you did a great job yesterday, you and norah. i loved watching our coverage. it was a really powerful ceremony. i can't imagine what it was like to be there. >> it was thrilling. at every turn, to see history in the making. and certainly we know his legacy will live on as a man whose fight for equal rights was seen across the world. >> he loved america until america learned how to love him back. >> forward, march. >> reporter: it was a ceremony fit for an american hero. civil rights leader john lewis was remembered for his unstoppable fight for equality, his everlasting humility and his love for all.

hundreds gathered outside the ebenezer baptist church to watch the service. inside, 12-year-old tybre faw gave a touching tribute. >> john lewis was my hero and my friend. let's honor him by getting in good trouble. >> reporter: and three former presidents shared how he shaped the nation. >> john and i had our disagreements, of course. but in the america john lewis fought for and the america i believe in, differences of opinion are inevitable elements and evidence of democracy in action. >> i just love him. i always will. and i'm so grateful that he stayed true to form. i suggest, since he's close enough to god to keep his eye on the sparrow and us, we salute,

suit up and march on. >> reporter: in his eulogy, the nation's first black president, barack obama, called lewis a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance. >> john lewis did not hesitate. and he kept on getting on board buses and sitting at lunch counters. got his mug shot taken again and again. america was built by john lewis. he, as much as anyone in our history, brought this country a little bit closer to our highest ideals. >> reporter: the former president told a story about speaking with congressman lewis after he joined the senate. he said he walked over to him and said, john, i'm here because of you. >> when we do form a more

perfect union, whether it's years from now or decades or even if it takes another two centuries, john lewis will be a founding father of that fuller, fairer, better america. >> reporter: and soldiers escorted that flag-draped casket outside of the church. john lewis' favorite song "happy" by pharrell blared through the congregation. there were more than a few people dancing in their pews. he was driven through the streets of atlanta past the city council, city hall here where he served for five years and on to southview cemetery where he was buried next to his beloved wife of 43 years, lillian. it was an incredible service, gayle. i can't imagine anything more touching. certainly history lesson for us

all. >> michelle, he was such a treasure. and i think we can't help but smile when we think about yesterday because, as sad as it was, it was also a celebration of his life. and one of my favorite moments was bebe and carban winans who wrote the song and performed the song. there were so many special moments yesterday. >> there were. and in a call for all of us to act, to, you know, act as citizens. and it was something i think he's smiling down on. a man of action. >> he is certainly -- he has passed the baton to all of us. let's see what we do with it. still a lot of work to be done. thank you michelle. really great job. so proud to be part of the cbs family yesterday watching all of you. ahead -- new details from the ghislaine maxwell case after hundreds of documents are made public for the very first time. how they change what we know about jeffrey epstein.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." more than 600 pages of newly unsealed court documents were released overnight containing new details about ghislaine maxwell's relationship with jeffrey epstein. they appear to contradict her version of events about when she last spoke to him. she pleaded not guilty to being part of his alleged sex-trafficking ring. mola lenghi is in brooklyn outside the federal detention center where she's being held. mola, good morning. a lot of contradictions in this case. >> yeah, gayle. maxwell's attorneys tried to stop these documents from surfacing. even the asking a u.s. district court judge to intervene with a phone call.

that judge ultimately denied the request and accused maxwell of trying to muddy the waters on her way to mounting her legal defense. weeks after ghislaine maxwell was denied release on bail, she awaits trial, she figures prominently into newly unsealed court documents, some of which accuse her of facilitating and participating in years of abuse against young women. as for maxwell's recent claim it's been more than a decade since she was in contact with jeffrey epstein, the documents appear to reveal that's untrue. in a january 2015 email exchange with epstein, maxwell wrote, she'd appreciate it if a woman named shelly would come out and say she had been epstein's girlfriend. epstein responded, okay with me. you have done nothing wrong and i would urge you to start acting like it. go outside. head high. not as an escaping convict. go to parties. deal with it. >> reporter: now maxwell is being held in a federal detention facility and facing up to 35 years in prison.

it comes after years of allegations from accusers like virginia roberts giufre. >> you couldn't say no to jeffrey because you were afraid for your life. >> reporter: the unsealed documents are part of an unsettled civil suit between maxwell and giuffre. giuffre claimed she was sent to have sex with several high-profile men at epstein and maxwell's direction including the owner of a large hotel chain and a foreign president who she described as spanish and in his 40s. >> do you think there are a lot of men in this country and world that should be panicking based on the information she has? >> oh, yeah. and i really hope they are. very well known popular men that everyone would know the names of. i can't wait for the day of truth to light. >> reporter: maxwell's 2016

deposition is expected to be released some time next week after a u.s. district court judge denied her request for that to remain sealed. of the documents we have seen, there are still several names that remain redacted which could be an indication of the scale of jeffrey epstein's alleged sex trafficking operation might still largely be unknown. vlad? >> to be continued. mola lenghi, thank you very much. more than 40 million americans are at risk for eviction as protections expire. next, we'll hear from one mother who lost her job, she lost her home and then got covid-19. plus, a reminder. you can always get the morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast. we'll be right back. rtain inflammatory conditions. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz. the first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis,

millions of families across the nation are no longer safe from eviction, and housing advocates warn we could be headed toward a massive wave of homelessness. moratorium on evictions for federally backed housing expired last week. it covered more than 12 million households. the actual number of people facing possible evictions could be much higher. adriana diaz spoke to families in danger of losing their homes. she joins us from chicago. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. so renters are now at the mercy of state laws. just like mask-wearing policies, there's a patch its work of eviction policies that vary by state. as we were working on this story, one statistic that really struck us is that in 17 states, blast women are twice as likely as white rentsers to be evicted.

coronavirus. the home stadium citizens bank park is also closed after the phillies opened their season a week ago. since then as many as 17 marlins players have tted positive for covid-19, bringing their season it a grinding halt. outfielder andrew mccutchen says it's been a rocky start for major league baseball. >> i go to bed, preparing for the next day to come to the field. i wake up, and it's totally different, and i'm not going to the field. >> meantime, the nba made its return last night in orlando with a powerful show of support for the black lives matter movement. players, coaches, and even referees took a knee during the national anthem. it was cool. players had their names replaced with words like ally on the back of their jerseys, and a lot of them -- in fact, all of them took a knee during the national anthem. >> it's so interesting just to see the change and how that's, you know, received now. >> yes. >> when you look back two,

three, even four years ago -- >> yeah. when people were vilified. and now everybody's -- i shouldn't say everybody, but a lot of people are taking the knee and embracing it. that was quite a scene. we've got to give a shout out to the nba. they've had no positive covid testing. they're doing -- don't want to jinx it, but they seem to be doing something right with the players living in the bubble. knock on wood. i hope it stays like that. >> we all do, indeed. >> absolutely. you have more news about this year's mtv music video awards? >> i do, jericka. mtv is adding two new categories to this year's video music awards reflecting our current times. listen -- ♪ nothing i can do i'm stuck with you ♪ ♪ stuck with you stuck with you ♪ >> i like that song. ariana grande, justin bieber, among the artists up for an award for best music video from home for their song "stuck with you." joining them, drake for his hit, what is it --

>> the -- -- >> "the slide." the network is featuring a category for best quarantine tee performance. i'd say that was gayle just now introducing me. no, it's actually lady gaga who made the list for her rendition of her song "smile" from the tv special "one world together at home." john legend is also a nominee for his "together at home" series. the mtv awards is slated to air live on august 30th. of course, mtv is part of the viacom cbs family. >> i'm be watching. >> me, too. i like, guys, that they're doing that. it seems like everybody's creative juices are flowing during thyself times. nice to see. okay, you've got some prisoners who are being raised, question mark. >> yes. they are being praised. authorities are thanking three inmates at a georgia jail for their quick thinking. the men started banging on their doors when they noticed a sheriff's deputy, warren hobbs, pass out and split open his head. somehow he was able to hit the

button to release them from their cells, and the men called for help. watch this. >> respect goes both ways. just because we made a mistake out there, it doesn't make us bad people. >> i didn't see him as an officer at that point. i just seen another human being going down, needed help. >> turns out deputy hobbs had a heart attack. he is recovering at home and will return to work soon. let me give a shout out to the inmates, guys. mitchell smalls, walter whitehead, and terry lovelace are the three inmates. the entire unit of more than 60 inmates started yelling and banging on their doors because they realized deputy hobbs was in trouble. >> they wanted to help. i think he made a good point, the one who said just because we made a mistake doesn't mean we're bad people. i think there are a lot of people behind bars exactly in that situation. just because we made a mistake, not bad people. >> he said he just saw a human being. it wasn't about being a guard or inmate, it was a human being to another human being. >> the guard apparently even knowing to hit the button to get

that help. you know, i wonder if he knew which prisoners he was letting out to give them that help. >> i guess -- my sense is that he knew in that same that they so thankful that they did. >> all right. speaking of help, major garrett will help us to understand why president trump is raising the possibility of delaying the election. that's coming up. stay with us. you're watching "cbs this morning." into a smaller life? are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what could open up for you with fasenra. it is not a steroid or inhaler. it is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. it's an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils.

good morning everyone, i'm michelle griego. one marine dead and two others hurt and at least eight other service members are missing after a training accident in southern california. the marines were on a routine exercise yesterday just off san clemente island. fire crews in san francisco battled a two alarm blaze overnight. it broke out around 2:00 this morning on powell street and north beach. at least one person and a dog were rescued from the building. this morning, santa clara county will give an update on a cluster of coronavirus cases at

costco. the company reported a total of 13 cases at four different stores in the south bay. the stores remain open. let's get a check on your roads for your morning commute. we're taking a look at the bridges and we have a fog advisory at the golden gate bridge. but a wind advisory at the san mateo bridge. as we look live. we see traffic slowing down a bit and more brake lights but still looking like a 13 minute drive from hayward into foster city. and taking a lack at bay bridge toll plaza, hardly any cars there. and easy ride through the toll plaza and across the span an eight minute drive. mary? okay, michelle. so looking at foggy start along the coast right around the bay. and even a gray start for some of the inland locations as well. so tracking that onshore flow as we head through the day. we'll see clearing for most of us and really all about the bay area microclimates. 930 in concord with that sunshine and 82 in san

it's friday, july it's it's friday, july 31st. you made it. i'm gayle king. anthony mason and tony dokoupil are off. bipartisan backlash. president trump runs into criticism for his thoughts of delaying the election. the popular tv host responds to allegations of hostility and harassment against some of those who run her show. >> and the power of youth. we'll talk to one of john lewis's youngest admirers about

his words at the funeral. >> he was terrific. first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. a hurricane bears down on the eastern u.s. likely to hammer states already badly affected by the pandemic. >> this storm has bumped up to hurricane. it has 80 miles per hour winds moving northwest at 17 miles per hour. >> florida is preparing for a potential land fall in case the storm starts to move. >> trading offers but they left without a deal. so that $600 jobless benefit appears will expire. >> the president made this headline grabbing a suggestion at the headlines were dominate bid other unfavorable stories. the president doesn't even have the power to move the election. that lies with congress where it was rejected. >> we know his legacy will live on where a man's fight for equal

rights were seen across the world. >> a form a more perfect union explicit in the words is the idea that we're imperfect. that what gives each new generation purpose is to take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further than any might have thought possible. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." we're going to be talking about that service for a very, very long time. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we don't get a chance to say this often. i'm going to call this a chocolate edition of "cbs this morning." we never see the three of us on deck at the same time. i like it. i like it. >> pretty sweet. >> yes. very sweet, indeed. >> good to see you all. i'm starting us off.

we begin with the latest track of a newly named hurricane in the atlantic. you can see some of the flooding from isaias. it's currently packing sustained winds of 80 miles per hour. the storm is impacting florida this weekend before moving up the east coast next week. florida decided to shut down the state-run coronavirus testing sites until wednesday. the latest in anticipation of the storm. >> as coronavirus cases continue to rise, many out of work americans will be facing more economic hardship. starting today supplement cal $600 weekly payments for unemployed americans are expiring. republicans offered a $200 payment instead, but signalled they could be willing to extend the current amount. democrats have been unwilling to agree to a patchwork deal. >> the lack of help comes as a report from the census bureau says about 29 million americans

reported they hadn't had enough to eat at some point in the week ending july 21st. that's the most since the bureau began tracking the numbers during the pandemic in may. meanwhile, at least three states reported records for the most coronavirus deaths in a day. that includes florida which broke its own state record for the third day in a row. with just over three months until november third, president trump floated the idea of delaying the election. he tweeted yesterday, quote, with universal mail-in voting not absentee voting which is good, 2020 will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history. it will be a great embarrassment to the usa. delay the election until people can properly securely and safely vote? hours later president obama gave a eulogy which he appeared to accuse the trump administration of voter suppression. >> there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to

discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting students with restricted id laws and attacking our surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the runup to an election. it's going to be depending on mail-in ballots so people don't get sick. >> chief washington correspondent major garrett joins us now. major, good to see you. let's begin with this. in the president's own party leaders rejected delaying the election. >> the president doesn't have the power. congress does. that's by order of the constitution and states run our elections. this is not going to happen. and when the white house says the president is only asking a question, grammatically, attaching question marks doesn't change something. that's essentially a declarative

statement. if i say stand there and let me punch you in the face and i put three question marks after it, it doesn't make it any less menac menacing. take the word of a law professor at northwestern university and co-founder of the federalist society which marched in lock stop on federal bench appointments and defended trump during impeachment. he wrote in the new york times that that tweet is by itself, constitutes grounds for immediate impeachment and removal from office. he called it fascistic. just bear that in mind. >> so should i read anything into the fact that the president tweeted this major yesterday just as the news of the economy was coming out, just as we were getting updated covid-19 numbers? why is the president raising the issue now? >> because he's in a weakened political position, and he knows that if he creates some doubt by whatever means of the accuracy or the verifiability of the

election and he loses, somehow he's not as directly to blame as he might otherwise be. it is a political tactic. i tell you, vlad, for the last two weeks i've talked to election experts around the country. rhetoric like this creates for them a maddoning sfar owe where voters wonder what is the president talking about? what are our systems in our state and these are serious people working hard on serious election issues related to the pandemic trying to solve them. and the president's tweets do not help them in their mission. >> the president also claims mail-in voting is rife with fraud. yesterday during a briefing you heard him say he doesn't want to see a crooked election. what are the facts on mail-in voting? >> here's one of my sources. the head of the federal department of homeland security election security says to me, mail-in voting is more secure. you know why? because there's always a paper trail. machines, that's not always the

case. and the previously said foreign nations could print ballots by the millions and that could distort things. completely false. there are two printers in our country. there's a certain weight to mail-in ballots. the states that use the system use the weighted system. the bar code also matches things up. this is a highly secure way of voting. are there slowdowns in counting? yes, there are. and the president if he wanted to could help solve this. how? by sending states more federal money to assist them in processing and building out the infrastructure to handle what will inevitably be more mail-in balloting than we've previously had. >> during his eulogy yesterday for june lewis, former president obama called for the senate to eliminate the filibuster. explain what that means and how it could change the makeup of what we see going forward. >> so if you're the majority

party and you can't find 60 votes right now in the senate you can't move your top legislative priorities. if you eliminate the filibuster you can. they're wondering if they can take the sufficient number of seats to gain a majority in the senate. what president obama is saying if you get the majority, you can entertain the rule change and pass so much of this agenda. who is hearing that especially? progressive democrats who want to see an activist agenda around the biden presidency. that's a call to get out and vote and see what can happen. >> major garrett, always great to have you for your reporting and analysis. we thank you, my friend. ahead, we talk with a correspondent about the life and the legacy of representative john lewis.

we have much more news ahead. a 12-year-old boy delivered an emotional tribute at the funeral of his friend and hero, john lewis. >> out of the night that covers me, black as a pit from pole to pole, i think whatever god may be for my inconquerable soul. coming up, how the civil rights icon and the young man met and forged a deep connection. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪

[beep] ♪ [whoosh] ♪ give everyone something to look up to. the all-new highlander hybrid. toyota. let's go places. and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects

include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. if you're living with hiv, keep loving who you are. and ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you. i've encouraged serena, my best friend, to switch. feels moisturized and clean. my friend stefanie, her skin was dry. i'm like girl you better get you some dove. she hooked me up. with a quarter moisturizing cream, dove cleans and cares beautifully. with a quarter moisturizing cream, removes ten years ofoptic yellow stains. that's like all the way back to 2010. they're jeans. they're leggings. they're jeggings! whoa! remove ten years of yellow stains with new colgate optic white renewal. ...to soccer practices...

the "ellen degeneres show" is facing new allegations this morning of rampant sexual misconduct and harassment in the workplace. the new accusations reported by buzzfeed news come just two weeks after another article on the site detailing a racist and toxic work environment. degeneres responded before the new article was published apologizing and taking responsibility for what happens at the show. warner media is also conducting its own internal investigations. jamie yuccas has more on the allegations. >> reporter: dozens of former staffers of the "ellen degeneres show" which is known for promoting kindness -- >> when i say be kind to one another, i mean it. >> reporter: are sharing new details about alleged inappropriate behavior behind the scenes by senior managers. krystie yandoli with buzzfeed broke the story.

she also said the show was taking steps to correct the issues. >> i've spoken to nearly 50 former employees who worked on the "ellen" show. all of them say they found what their experience was behind the scenes to be in contrast to what the show makes a profit off of at the end. ellen degeneres has built an entire brand off of, which is the be kind message. >> reporter: some former employees buzzfeed spoke with also suggest that degeneres needed to take more responsibility for the environment. >> they want to see a change in ellen's workplace environment and in tv work environments in general. >> reporter: we reached out to warnermedia and the show about the new allegations. both declined to comment. warnermedia sent a statement before the article was published saying it was disappointed that the primary findings and its own investigation indicated some deficiencies related to the show's day-to-day management. it said it will implement

several staffing changes to address the issues that were raised. jericka? >> thank you. ahead, we talked with the 12-year-old who gave a powerful reading at john lewis' funeral. how he says the late congressman changed his life. you're watching "cbs this morning." - [narrator] did you just reward yourself

for spending a perfectly reasonable amount of time on the couch with tacos from grubhub? rewarded! get a free delivery perk when you order. - [group] grubhub. as we remember the life of john lewis, we were struck by one touching reading in particular from yesterday's funeral. >> beyond this place of tears looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the years finds and shall find me unafraid. >> that was tybre faw, a young friend of the latest congressman. michelle miller spoke with him after the service, and she joins us from outside the historic ebenezer baptist church in atlanta where the funeral took place.

good morning once again. >> reporter: good morning. and despite all of the celebrity in that sanctuary yesterday, the politicians, the civil rights icons, it was a 12-year-old boy from tennessee that stole the show. [ applause ] in front of american presidents and john lewis' closest loved ones, it was one of the congressman's young ever admirers who contributed to the day's most memorable moments. >> in the clutches of circumstance, i have not winced nor cried aloud. >> reporter: 12-year-old tybre faw helpedual geez the civil rights icon by reading what he said to be lewis' favorite poem. >> i'm the master of my fate, i'm the captain of my soul. john lewis was my hero and my friend. let's honor him by getting in good trouble.

>> his legacy. >> reporter: what do you do with it? >> i want to make it greater and better for everybody. >> reporter: and his two grandmothers helped raise him along with his single mom. they fostered his interest in history, have taken him all over this country to historical sites, including the edmund pettus bridge where he met the late congressman. this is a budding young environmentalist, and i'm sure we'll be seeing more of him to come. gayle? >> oh, michelle, we have not heard the last of ty. i talked to his grandmother yesterday, i know you did, too. she said this, "when your babies speak up, listen to them. listen to them, and let them" -- what did she say exactly? "listen to them and take them up on it." as you pointed out they took him to the bridge in selma where he got to meet john lewis. he called john lewis when he was 9 and said i want to shake your hand. they took him there, and he did that. listen to your babies. this is a little kid who is a history buff, loved history since he was a little bit on.

i love everything about this -- little boy. i love everything about there little guy. >> reporter: me, too. >> yeah. and you got to meet him. he's on the same stage with three liv g good morning, it's 8:25. i'm len kiese. a search is on for several robberies suspects in berkeley. an officer came across the theft in progress at a cvs on shattuck avenue last night. she fired her weapon as the suspects took off. they were last seen in a dark sedan. one marine is dead and eight are missing after a training accident with an amphibious assault vehicle. this happened yesterday near san clemente island in southern california. the navy and coast guard helping with that search. the solano county da has now appointed a special prosecutor to investigate a police shooting there. michael ramos is a former district attorney at san bernardino county. he will now review the february

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time to bring you some of welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you some stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. this is where we pick stories we would like to share with all of you. we are starting off with jericka, in pole position. >> michael phelps calls on the olympic and paralympic committee to help athletes battling mental illness. >> we're just so lost. the good 80% more go through some kind of post-olympic depression. >> it's a gold and then what? >> i didn't develop outside interests. >> i thought of myself as just a swimmer.

and not a human being. >> that's just a taste of what phelps and other athletes say they felt in the hbo documentary "the weight of gold." the legendary swimmer who raked in 28 olympic medals goes on to say, as long as we were performing, i don't think anything else mattered. last year the committee created services it says are aimed at promoted sustained well-being for athletes. and i think this is an important issue, not just because, obviously, they're athletes, it's an interesting perspective into the life and sort of what they're going through, but just because this impacts so many people and this documentary is really trying to take away that stigma and educate people that mental health is not a weakness. so, i haven't seen it yet, but i definitely want to check it out. >> he's been talking a lot about that, a lot of the athletes have been talking about that. it's really important. >> vlad, i know you have something -- >> more of us need to talk about it. >> absolutely. >> vlad has something that's pretty upbeat and throwback to one of my favorite emcees of all

time. >> this is the hammer time edition of "talk of the table," gayle. let me lay this on you. emcee h m.c. hammer, a principal rocked a new edition ♪ wash your hands ♪ so move ♪ back up six feet ♪ hold on >> back up six feet. dr. quentin came up with this coronavirus parody so students know what to expect when they return to school. got to give him props. dr. lee is just as good as the og m.c. hammer. everybody in this studio was looking at their feet when i asked who had harem pangts back in the day. >> my brother had the doll, the m.c. hammer doll. >> of course. >> yes, i do. i bet m.c. hammer is getting a

kick out of that. when that comes on, you can't help but move. i like that. drew barrymore is out with a promo for her new talk show. look who shoes interviewing. >> i've been waiting all my life to meet you. >> it's been a wild ride. can you believe i have two daughters around your age. >> kind of scary. >> i have so much to fill you in on. want to hear about our new daytime show. >> your eyes are not playing tricks on you. that actress is sitting down with her super cute 7-year-old self. the clips come from the actress's 1982 appearance on "the tonight show" starring drew -- not drew barrymore, johnny carson. the drew barrymore show is produced by cbs. i thought that was a very clever way to introduce your talk show and get people talking about it. i say, go, drew barrymore.

i can't wait to see it. >> i've been a fan of hers since "e.t." she says she wants the show to celebrate life for an hour. i think we can get behind it. >> she's a big sparkle. welcome to the family, drew barrymore. the reverend dr. martin luther king jr.'s daughter is calling on congress to restore voting rights protections. now, it's a cause that was championshiped by congressman john lewis. she made the comments at the lewis funeral yesterday. >> as we honor the life of congressman john lewis, who shed blood on that edmund pettus bridge, that we might have the right to vote, grant that we never again take that right for granted, and that we exercise it no matter what. and that we never again tamper with that right. overtaken this hour, our congress, that they might restore voting rights protections in our nation.

>> lewis, as you know, died earlier this month after fighting pancreatic cancer. wesley lowry wrote a lengthy obituary for lewis in "gq" magazine. it airs on the streaming app quibi and produced by cbs news, which is part of viacom cbs, an investor in quibi. every time you come on, i'm raving about a piece, and here i go about that "gq" piece. it was written to beautifully and captured him. you wrote in part, john lewis is a breathing civil rights monument and a bridge for civil rights, from the civil rights movement to the contemporary world, an enduring reminder of how the nation's past shapes its present. i read that and i said, you go, wes lowry, you go.

i think you captured the man and his mission. after all the people you talked to and you talked to many people in his life, how do did you sum him up? >> certainly. you know, i think that john lewis in many ways was someone with a real integrity of spirit and of mission, a real true believer in nonviolent philosophy, but also in agitating to try to change the country and make it better. and, you know, i think that, you know, that sentence that you highlighted, this idea that he's kind of in many ways -- or he was a living monument, but also, right, there can be a temptation with that to, you know, turn him into a santa claus figure. oh, that's john lewis. he did that thing so many years ago. but the fact that he was still with us was a reminder that these struggles weren't that long ago, right? we're not that far removed from the civil rights era. that's not to suggest there

haven't been major changes and we aren't getting better on these things but it was this reminder that i think sometimes with history, we like to pretend things were longer ago than they were because we would never do such a thing or how could we? john lewis was a reminder that this fight was still going on because here's this boy who was beaten on the edmund pettus bridge for the right to vote. if he's still alive, if he's still here with us, then that couldn't have been so long ago. >> hey, wes, did you ever get a chance to meet him by chance during your travels? did you ever spend any time with him? >> certainly, yeah, i spent some time with john lewis. when i first got to it the washington post years ago, i was covering congress primarily. i would run into congressman lewis just in the hallways and have conversations and talk. you know, we weren't particularly close and there weren't many reporters and colleagues close to him but i knew john lewis and had interacted with him. he was someone who always took the time to talk, to have

conversations. there was a humility that kind of radiated off of him in a way that isn't always true of our elected officials, right? isn't always true, frankly, of other great people. and that was something so particular about him. >> listen, we all treasure those times now. they take on to me a very different meaning. he says, the most powerful change, what's at stake, voting he was talking about, voting, it's the most powerful nonviolent change agent we have. what's at stake in the fight against voter suppression? it's a very serious thing coming up with the election in november. >> it certainly is. we saw both what representative lewis wrote in his final records and then what bernice king and later barack obama said in their eulogies yesterday. that this fight over access to the ballot box is real. it's something that's still going on for a lot of people. it's not a settled question.

so there's a lot at stake there. we still have major questions to answer about voting rights in places like d.c. or puerto rico, or should we do automatic registration or a federal holiday. so, you know, this is not a fight that's over. i think that's something representative lewis talked about often. i think one of the things he said, he wrote this in his piece, at times there can be a sense that people feel as though they voted and it hasn't paid off for them or they feel disenchanted, but he noted in a democracy the vote is the most powerful tool. he was urging a lot of the young activists and protesters, he supported them and supported the work they were doing in the streets but he was urging them to show up in november as well. >> and he certainly passed on the baton to the next generation of activists. what do you think they can learn from him briefly? >> certainly. i think it's a resilience.

john lewis was beaten to within inches of his life. not just once, not just on the bridge. many other times. and so i know i've talked to a lot of activists and they get discouraged at times, but i think, you know, john lewis is a representation of, you know, getting knocked down and getting back up because if the thing you're fighting for is worth it, you have to get keeping back up. >> yeah. i marvel that he was never bitter. he was always very, very brave. thanks for your time. can't wait to read your next piece. you can watch "60 in 6" on the mobile streaming app quibi. john lewis's legacy of good trouble inspires us all. we at cbs are very excited to honor him with a very unique tribute and prime time special featuring some of the biggest names in entertainment. how did this idea come about? oprah and tyler, as in with infriday and perry, went to viacom and cbs and viacom cbs said yes and invited brad pitt

to be one of the hosts. he said yes. they invited me to be one of the hosts. you know i said yes. our focus is on the deep sense of empathy and justice that guided lewis, which all of us strive to echo these days. it features special performances like common and john legend. here's a first look. ♪ why we walk through america with our hands up ♪ ♪ when they go down we woman and man up ♪ ♪ they say stay down ♪ we stay up shots on the ground ♪ ♪ the camera pointed up ♪ king ran to the mountain top ♪ and we ran up ♪ one day when it calls ♪ he will ours he will be ours ♪ ♪ oh oh one day >> i'll never hear that song again without thinking about john lewis. that's just a small sample. you can watch "john lewis: celebrating a hero" next tuesday at 9:00/10:00 central right here

on cbs. oprah and i shot our stand-ups yesterday at the santa barbara studio, tyler perry shot his at tyler perry studios. i know a lot of work has been going into it. i'm really looking forward to tuesday night. ahead, one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the want restaurants to open?

the wonder in southern england known as stonehenge has puzzled historians, archaeologists, and curious tourists for centuries. the question surrounding the monument has been elusive including how it was built and why. and where did the towering sandstone boulders come from? on that last question, the origin of the stones may finally have been solved. ian lee shows the breakthrough with an american connection. >> reporter: a layer of mystery is peeling back at stonehenge. exposing the unknown to the light. a year ago -- >> there it is -- >> reporter: a seemingly unremarkable rod of rock returned to the historical site. back then susan

to help historians better understand the monument. workers drilled through the largest of the rocks removing three stone cores. robert phillips took one home. the rest were discarded. so if so much could be determined from a small sample, you'd be forgiven for asking why another wasn't taken. >> well, stonehenge is completely unique. it's the only stones like it in the world, it's 4,500 years old. we don't want to be taking bits away. >> you can see quite -- >> reporter: it was a bit of a homecoming when phillips' sons returned the heirloom from the

united states. >> it was exciting that it was luck really, the core being returned to us from america. just happened to coincide with some geological work that was already taking place. >> reporter: geologists traced the 20-ton joints to an area 15 miles north of stonehenge. >> pretty much some of the largest stones in the whole of southern britain. so it seems that the people who were building stonehenge were selecting deliberately large stones. >> reporter: why not build stonehenge where they quarried the stones? why move them so far? >> that's a really good question. not one that we can answer at the moment. other than to say that really stonehenge and the whole landscape around it which is chock full of historic monuments, must have significant. >> reporter: what possibly could be significant about this corner of britain? >> i think it's always going to be slightly out of our grasp. we'll be taking tiny steps all the time. but i think there will always be a mystery about it. >> reporter: at ancient mystery that keeps the magic of

stonehenge alive. for "cbs this morning," ian lee in london. >> a little bit of that mystery solved now after 4,500 years. thank you. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. 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. it's just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, it's helped over a million americans. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of trick to take your home. it's a loan, like any other.

exclamation point on what former president obama said -- john lewis will be seen as a founding father. >> amen. >> you are so right about that. amen indeed. we'll see you on monday o 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,

good morning, i'm len kiese. a search is on for eight missing marines after a training accident in southern california. something went wrong as their amphibious assault vehicle took on water yesterday near san clemente island. one marine was killed. san francisco firefighters balloted a two alarm blaze overnight that broke out around 2:00 a.m. on powell street in north beach. at least one person and a dog were rescued from the building. so far, there are no reports of injuries. state officials say california's prison population just dropped below 100,000 for the first time in 30 years. the decline comes as some inmates have been getting early

releases because of the pandemic. and taking a look at the bay area roads this morning. the main travel times have mostly been in the green this morning. but we are seeing some slowing right now on i-80 a little slow on i-80 from highway 4 to the macarthur maze. it's going to take you about 20 minutes. but once you get past that maze, as we look at the bay bridge toll plaza right there, it is smooth sailing into san francisco. looking like an eight minute drive from the macarthur maze into san francisco. all right, michelle, well looking at cloudy and foggy conditions along the coast and around the bay and even the inland spots that gray start. but as we head through the afternoon, we'll catch that clearing for most of us. except for the coast. really all about the bay area microclimates. 90 concord and 82 for san jose with the sunshine around the bay clearing in the mid 60s to low 70s. breezy as well with the clouds and low 60s in pacifica
