[ captions good morning to our viewers in the west and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's friday, august 14, 2020. fuelling birther conspiracies. president trump draws outrage after stoking new phony citizenship claims, this time about kamala harris. he admit ez doesns he doesn't w help the u.s. postal service. pediatricians call for children 2 and older to wear masks in public. the concerns about the potential covid threat in the classroom. israel and a key arab

country agree to establish diplomatic relations. iran is a big loser. we will talk with jared kushner. playing tag with sharks. we ride along with scientists tracking the youngest great whites and helping them grow up to be apex predators. can you say baby shark? first, here is today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. >> joe biden is calling for a nationwide mask mandate. >> be a patriot. protect your fellow citizens. >> unlike the biden approach, our approach is guided by science. >> the american academy of pediatrics suggesting all kids over 2 should wear cloth covering. >> if the children are old enough to keep a mas on, then you put masks on children. >> president trump is vowing to block funding for the u.s. postal service that would aid mail-in voting. >> he does not want people in the middle of a pandemic to vote. israel and the united arab

emirates have reached an historic peace agreement brokered by the u.s. >> i wanted it to be called the donald j. trump act. major fires in southern california. scrambling to save threatened homes. a dust devil strikes sending fruits and vegetables flying. there's video going viral of a street fight, heated brawl. hard to tell who the winner is. they need the ref to break them up. all that matters. >> then the baby laughs. >> that's an early age to learn how to heckle. >> that was epic. >> on "cbs this morning". the democratic national convention kick es off next wee >> take off your introducetrous.

let's get ready to buffer. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. welcome to "cbs this morning." it's going to be different, that's for sure. let's get right to the presidential race. a new effort by president trump to boost his campaign using a familiar tactic. the president yesterday helped resurrect a false conspiracy theory he used to challenge barack obama's right to be president. this time to attack kamala harris. >> mr. trump refused to reject a bogus claim about her citizenship, that the senator doesn't qualify to be joe biden's running mate. his comments prompted immediate pushback from the biden campaign. >> i heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements.

>> instead of stopping the racist attack, the president amplified it when asked if he thought she was eligible to run for vice president. >> i would have assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets choken. >> harris' parents emigrated. she was born in oakland, california. any person born in the united states is an american citizen. there's no doubt about harris' eligibility. the attack mirrors the racist accusations mr. trump made against former president barack obama. >> why doesn't he show his birth certificate? >> harris' sister responded writing, there are no gradations of birtherism. >> now you have a mad woman i call her, because she was so angry and so -- such hatred with justice kavanaugh. >> they called his attacks

unsurprising and says he makes a fool of himself. joe biden and harris are wasting no time showing how they would govern. they spent most of thursday holding briefings on the pandemic with experts. biden is calling for a nationwide mask mandate to fight the coronavirus. >> the governors should mandate, ma da to mandatory mask wearing. be a patriot. protect your fellow citizens. protect your fellow citizens. step up. do the right thing. >> harris said voters should be asking the trump administration a key question. >> when am i actually going to get vaccinated? because there may be some grand gestures offered by the current president about a vaccine. but it really doesn't matter until you can answer the question, when am i going to get vaccinated? >> the president dismissed the criticisms saying biden is trying to politicize the

pandemic. of course, the president said that and attacked harris in a political way during a government briefing on the coronavirus. by the way, we know that biden and harris will address the virtual democratic convention next week from a downtown event center in biden's hometown of wilmington, delaware. the two are set to make yet another appearance together he today. >> a lot of news next week. you will be there. thank you so much. a fight over post office funding with potential implications for the election is interfering with congressional talks to renew coronavirus aid. president trump rejects the democrats' demand for $25 billion in emergency funding for the u.s. postal service. plus another $3.6 billion to help states process mail-in ballots in november. ben, how is the president using politics to say no? >> reporter: this is money the postal service says it needs, especially to handle what is expected to be a record number of people voting by mail because

of the pandemic. president trump is making it very clear that he doesn't want to do anything to make voting by mail any easier. >> they can be forged. they can be captured. they can be taken. >> reporter: president trump continues to make unfounded claims about mail-in voting. in an interview thursday, he admitted the postal service needs more money to handle ballots in november. but he doesn't necessarily want to provide it. >> they need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of the millions and millions of ballots. if we don't make a deal, they don't get the money. >> reporter: at the white house, the president said he won't veto a stimulus bill just because it has funding for the post office but the democrats are asking for too much. nancy pelosi questions whether the white house really wants to make a deal. >> perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gave a damn. that isn't the case. >> reporter: democrats are also questioning the motives of the new postmaster general.

he is a major republican donor who has given more than $1 million to the trump victory fund. >> when i see problems, i work to solve them. >> reporter: cbs news learned after he took over the postal service in june, he implemented cost cutting mesh thau inting m to delays in delivery. this directive obtained by cbs news details an operational pivot in which we may see mail left behind or mail on the work floor or docks which is not typical. he declined our request for an interview. in a statement said despite assertions to the contrary, we are not slowing down election mail or any other mail. in recent elections with mail-in ballots, there have been delays in counting but no evidence of fraud. despite his continued attacks on mail-in voting, records show the president and the first lady just requested mail-in ballots for flo florida's primary election. >> thank you. the coronavirus pandemic has

left at least 1,500 public students, staff and students quarantined. the american academy of pediatrics recommends masks for all kids 2 and older at school and in public spaces. it also warns that asymptomatic children who test positive should be isolated for up to 14 days to avoid spreading the virus. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. nearly all of the school districts here in florida are being ordered by state leaders to offer some kind of in-person learning. meanwhile, the state's largest teachers union is suing over that, saying it's not a good idea because the virus is too widespread, that continues to be a hot spot for the country. parents at this moment are trying to make what they think is the best decision for their kid about whether they should actually go into the classroom.

>> reporter: rebecca is comfortable her 14-year-old daughter will start classes on monday. that's even though some staff members are already in quarantine because there's been a positive covid-19 case on campus. it happened while teachers were there getting ready for the start of the year. you think she's making the right decision? >> i feel like we need a little bit of normalcy. she needs that. she made the decision. hopefully, it's the right one. >> reporter: as the state moves ahead with in-person learning, some educators are worried things are moving too fast. educators like this woman. she's a spanish teacher at tampa bay technical high school. she's a coronavirus survivor. >> i literally felt myself knocking on death's door. i cannot imagine a lot of my older co-workers possibly

surviving this. >> reporter: the percent of tests coming back positive is higher than the recommended level for reopening. >> we have a lot of infection going on. do you want to put the kids back in school? >> reporter: in an interview, dr. fauci gave a blunt assessment of our nation's coronavirus response. >> bottom line, i'm not pleased with how things are going. >> reporter: as the pandemic moves across the country out of control, it continues to tear apart families like charlie's. >> never in my wildest dreams would i have thought that my grandfather would have passed from covid, let alone my father. >> reporter: his father and grandfather were both hospitalized with coronavirus on father's day. they died just weeks apart. both men were respected community leaders in a suburb of miami. 89-year-old george was retired. 57-year-old carlos was treating patients before he contracted

the virus. they leave behind a legacy of helping others. >> they were my inspiration for studying medicine. my father was and is my hero. he died on the front lines doing what he believed was right. >> reporter: they are a family of doctors. there are 20 of them that practice some type of medicine, den trtistry or psychiatrist. one is a reporter here with us at cbs. our condolences to the family. estimates are at least 1,000 front line health care workers have died because of covid-19. >> that's a stunning statistic. thank you so much for your reporting. we appreciate it. in a breakthrough, president trump said israel and the united arab emirates have agreed to establish full diplomatic relations for the first time. trump took credit for brokering the historic deal. it's part of the middle east

peace effort led by jared kushner, his son-in-law. what is behind this deal? >> good morning. this is a deal that will have huge ramifications across the region. the big loser is iran. we were there in the uae when iran started attacking and seizing oil tankers which they started to do again this week. the uae has been an important u.s. ally with american forces based there. the gulf nation has had to tread carefully not to provoke iran. that's clearly no longer the case when you take sides with iran's sworn enemy. it obviously benefits israel and having another important and wealthy friend in the neighborhood. finally, although the palestinians say they have been betrayed by the uae, the deal puts israel's plan to annex parts of the west bank on hold at least for now. as both countries benefit from diplomatic ties, trade and technology, the hope is that fellow arab nations may follow

suit. >> charlie, thank you very much. in our next hour, we will talk to jared kushner about that historic deal plus a wide range of other topics including the federal government's response to the pandemic. the weather is working against fire crews battling multiple wildfires in southern california where temperatures are expected to top 100 degrees today. the so-called ranch fire is the most serious threat right now. nearly 400 homes are under evacuation orders about 20 miles northeast of los angeles. that fire and two others in the region have burned more than 20 square miles. >> reporter: good morning. the fire behind me is the ranch fire. firefighters were concerned throughout the evening that winds would pick up. they have been and what we have been watching is an explosion of fire on that hillside. firefighters right now are

desperately trying to cut a line and save this bridge. the ranch fire burned into the night thursday. it exploded midafternoon, coming dangerously close to a neighborhood of 100 homes. >> the wish we have is not only steep terrain, but very dry brush, vegetation. when it's continuous vegetation like that, the fire just keeps moving through it. >> reporter: it was a similar situation at the nearby skyline fire. the hot, dry weather pushed flames near homes. forcing evacuations that were lifted late thursday night. >> i was looking and i was like, is my house going to be okay? i was terrified. >> reporter: firefighters worked to contain the lake fire, 70 miles to the northwest. crews spent the day fighting back the flames, high, unpredictable winds made the battle that much tougher. >> if this winds continues, that could change conditions and might lead to more evacuations.

>> reporter: three structures are with lost. the final number could be higher. >> it's just sad. my friends have lost their homes. >> reporter: the lake fire is 5% contained. this ranch fire is 0% contained. there's no estimate on when either one of them will be put out. by the way, we could be in for a long fire season. the peak season starts this month but can last all the way through november. >> thank you. quite a scene. we have new information on the impact of this week's derecho, the rare and powerful wind storm that tore through the midwest killing four people. nearly 250,000 homes in the region are still without power. people try to clear uprooted trees and debris. cedar rapids still looks like a war zone. 100 engineers from the national guard will go there today to help its recovery. in more rural parts of iowa,

farmers already struggling with the pandemic's economic downturn suffered significant damage right before harvest season. one farmer said the loss -- he lost nearly 450 acres of corn. at least 10 crops have been destroyed. in illinois, people who live at this nursing home near chicago were so desperate to get their power back that they stood outside with a sign pleading with power company com ed for help. other families in the area are suffering through the summer heat and relying on small generators to get by. the headlines are over, but that story is going on for those folks. they are struggling. >> incredible. unbelievable. black americans are far more likely to be stopped without cause by police than white people. we will look at why and the effect it has on those who feel they are

welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's disturbing new video of what happened before the death of george floyd at the hands of police. these images are distressing. this footage is from the body camera of officer thao. on average, black men and women are five times more likely to be stopped by police without good reason than white people. videos like these of unarounded black people being arrested with

excessive force have become too common and raise questions about whether police treatment of african-americans is marked by systemic racism. >> this officer had it in his mind there would be a physical encounter. i did nothing to provoke it. >> even james blake was not immune. >> when i leave the tennis world, i go back to being a black man. if i put a hoodie on and i go for a run, i'm a suspect. >> in 2015, he was taken down by an nypd officer was standing outside of a new york city hotel. in a case of mistaken identity. >> i wasn't even mistaken for a violent criminal. the person he was looking for was credit card fraud. instead of me running or fighting, if that had been the case, i have a feeling he would have made it worse. >> it has been five years. are you still living with this? >> the physical scars are gone.

mentally for sure. every time i get pulled over or stopped or around police, i'm a little more nervous. with the fact that now i realize how little accountability there is for them to abuse their power, i'm nervous. i'm scared. >> the fear blake experiences today as a result of that incident is just one of the long-term affects of racism. >> racism is a trauma. it's just as much of a trauma as combat, rape, assault. life in and of itself is living in a war zone. >> this woman studied racial trauma for her career and says a starting point for change is simple. understanding what racism is. >> for most white people, racism is a white supremacist or somebody running around burning crosses. the bigger problem is that our culture operates under an umbrella of white supremacy. we have racist outcomes even without individual people doing racist things.

>> this professor is tackling that notion head on. at any point in your life would you have described yourself as a racist? >> you know, have i had racist thoughts? i'm sure. i don't think you grow up and be white in america and not have those things. and have blind spots. >> he tweeted about his white privilege drawing parallels to the incident with george floyd who was detained by police for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. >> i spent the night in jail. i received six months probation. that was the end of it. >> it was a death sentence for floyd. >> why do you believe the outcome was different? >> it comes down to viewing people of color as humans. their humanity. one of the roles of the police is to police our society in a way that's fair and we don't have that system. until you can't statistically tell the difference between my children, everybody else's

children, then we have a problem. >> it's a system that for decades disproportionally protects white americans like coll collin. >> it was shocking to see my outcome could have been similar to his. >> when he was 12, the same age as rice, he was caught by police playing with a toy gun. >> a cop drove down the street. he gave us a five-minute talk and went on with his day. i couldn't help but just notice the differences and similarities in our stories. >> the difference was a fail at one. rice was shot and killed by a cleveland police officer in 2014. >> a lot of these conversations are uncomfortable. these are the kind of talks you have to have to try to get that hate out of the system. >> we are not looking to be treated better than anyone else, just equality. equality shouldn't feel like a step down for white america. it's not taking away from anything they have done. it is time for it to change.

>> there are people who deny the similarities. when you see it in black and white. same instance, same description, but different outcomes. >> that james blake video is startli startling. >> it is. i tell people, you have to keep in mind that you go after vulnerable communities, those vulnerable communities are just the canary in the coal mine for the rest of society. it can happen to you eventually. stop it. nip it in the bud. >> the video is there. still ahead, we follow along as scientists try to save great white sharks from extinction by tracking their babies. you can always get the morning news by subscribing to the podcast. hear today's top sto es in less than 20 minutes. we'll be right back.

great white sharksare among the most ferocious predators in the ocean. they are among the most mysterious. most people are not aware they are considered vulnerable, one step away from endangered. they play a role in the ecosystem. a group in new york is taking a unique approach to understanding the species. it tags them while they are young. >> reporter: just off the beaches of long island, the shark research and education program is playing a different game of tag.

we are here at the only known great white shark nursery in the north atlantic, hundreds of feet from shore. they are hoping to better understand the predators by attaching tags like this one. >> as the shark is swimming, the tag will be sort of pulled behind the shark. >> reporter: this man and his crew aren't after the biggest and baddest great whites but rather the youngest. tagging more than 30 of the mini-apex predators since 2015. what are you trying to learn when you tag these sharks? >> we are interested in how they are utilizing waters. what water temperature do they like? what depth do they like? >> reporter: their goal to discover the migration patterns and habitats. the more they know, the easier to protect them. >> the sharks themselves have had regulations put in place to protect them. all of these populations are now starting to rebuild. that means we as humans have to

start rethinking how we use the ocean. >> reporter: the data transmits through satellite to other marine researchers. you are getting a real time picture of what their day to day lives are like? >> exactly. >> reporter: like toby curtis of the nationg nnoah. >> the white sharks are important pieces of the ecosystem in new york waters. >> reporter: the battle over perception that sharks are exceedingly dangerous to humans continues. last year, there were 64 unprovoked attacks worldwide. but they are extremely rare. >> we want people to have a respect for the predators and their natural environment and know that healthy shark populations are good for the ocean. >> reporter: he says five years

of data have taught them a lot about these baby sharks. there are still plenty of mysteries to solve. what is the thing you want to find out about the most? >> i think the holy grail of white shark research is where are these pups born. i think that would be one of the great mysteries solved. i don't know if we can do it. you never know. >> reporter: of course, one of the main goals is to educate the public. many other shark populations around the world are declining. a recent study found sharks are functi functionally extinct from nearly one-fifth of reefs around the world. >> so many mysteries. thank you. ahead, the stories you will talk about today.

grandma -- >> look at the little vase. his mom grove grant to this nearby fire station. you could see his hand is stuck in a vase, a vase, however you say it. 29-year-old dropped his flute into it and, of course -- he couldn't get it out. the firefighters used liquid dish soap and were able to pull it off. his day was great when he got to explore the fire station. he was so quiet, they were like, uh-oh, let's see what we can do. the little vase is up to his shoulder. adorable. >> his mom said when the firemen came he was way more interested in them than he was actually in the vase anymore. >> that happened to me -- i got something stuck, one of those things, hard iron -- you know -- plumbing thingies, you know what i mean. it was stuck on my finger. i stuck my -- you get it. i've been there. that's all i'm saying. >> little bit of soap does the trick. vlad, you're marking a milestone over there. a big one. >> yes. yes. yes.

good morning. i'm meteorologist mary lee. tracking the extreme heat. we're talking about scorching hot temperatures, dangerous heat and this is just the start of the bay area heat wave. look act the daytime highs, triple digits for concord and livermore and upper 90s close to 100 degrees in san jose. 90 for oakland and mid 80s for san francisco. so an excessive heat warning and heat advisory in effect for most of the bay area except for the immediate coast. that's from 11:00 a.m. today all the way through wednesday 9:00 p.m. so this is going to be a prolonged heat event for the

bay area. so there we go with that extended forecast. staying hot through the weekend. maybe just a little bit cooler by a few degrees on sunday but still warm to hot conditions and that triple digit heat inland continues into next week. hopefully you can stay safe and cool in this heat. gianna? thanks mary. taking a look at the roadways right now. because of these hot temperatures, a spare the air alert has been issued. so if you plan on getting out and about, they are recommending that you utilize public transit. also limit your outdoor activities and drive smart which basically means carpooling of course with social distancing in mind, as well as watching your speed limit on the roadways and running errands in one trip combining those errands. mass transit is on time this morning. with no major delays. we can schedule for b.a.r.t. will be from 8:00 until 9:00 p.m. and service changes begin this weekend businesses are starting to bounce back.

but what if you could do better than that? like adapt. discover. deliver. in new ways. to new customers. what if you could come back stronger? faster. better. at comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. but bounce forward.

and now, we're committed to helping you do just that with a powerful and reliable internet and voice solution at a great price. call or go online today. it's friday, august 14th,2020. i'm anthony mason with admissible miller and vladimir duthiers. >> fight for justice five months after police shot and killed breonna taylor. her mother and sister talk to us about the investigation. and chanel miller's new life, the woman who went public as a sexual assault survivor tells us about moving to new york city, reclaiming her unity and creating art.

>> false conspiracy to attack kamala harris. >> mr. trump refused to reject a bogus claim about her citizenship. >> i would have assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen. >> the president said that and attacked harris in a political way during a government briefing on the coronavirus. >> a fight over post office funding. >> this is money that the postal service says it needs to handle what is expected to be a record number of people voting by mail because of the pandemic. >> as both countries benefit from diplomatic ties, trade and technology, the hope is that fellow arab nations may follow suit. >> firefighters were concerned throughout the evening that winds would pick up. they have been and what we've been wafing is an explosion of fire on that hillside. >> sleepy joe buys into it. he doesn't know what he's doing and now you have sort of a mad woman, i call her. >> sleepy joe and the mad woman.

sounds like the best indy band. it sounds like a band morrissey would join after the smiths. if they were at coachella, i'd say what time are sleepy joe and the mad woman on? >> absolutely right, it does. >> good one. >> that's all i got to say about that. >> welcome to cbs this morning. >> president trump says flat out that he opposes more funding for the us postal service because he doesn't want to help people vote by mail. he acknowledged his stance would make it harder to deliver mail-in ballots. the president said the demand to give the postal service another $25 billion is holding up a new round of coronavirus relief. >> if we don't make a deal, that means they don't get the money. that means they can't have

universal mail-in voting. >> in new jersey governor phil murphy confirmed all of the state state's voters will be sent a mail-in ballot. pennsylvania and michigan have warned it may not be able to deliver ballots on time. >> in a landmark deal toward middle east peace, israel and the united arab emirates will establish normal diplomatic relations after a phone call between president trump, prime minister benjamin netanyahu and leaders of the persian gulf country. it requires israel to pause its annexation of territory in the west bank. if both countries philadelphia the deal, the uae will be only the third middle eastern nation to have normal relations with israel behind jordan and egypt.

jared kushner joins us from the white house. >> good morning. >> the "new york times" columnist tom friedman who's written a lot about this region called it a geopolitical earthquake and huge. the president said he anticipates others in the region will follow, possibly even the palestinians but they call this a betrayal. who do you think is likely to follow? >> i think what happened yesterday is a tremendous day. you know, our administration doesn't always agree with tom friedman but i think that the column he wrote was spot on. this is a massive change for the middle east. president trump does not take traditional approaches. i saw that in the lead-up to this segment that people misinterpret him sometimes with the way he's posturing on different things but what you saw yesterday was the first peace deal in the middle east in the last 26 years. i've been working closely with president trump over the last 3 1/2 years. it took a lot to get to this

point but this is a dramatic breakthrough. a lot of past politicians created the instability. when president trump got into office isis had a caliphate the size of ohio. president trump's gone very tough at it because his priority is protecting american citizens. president trump the deal maker had a very big victory yesterday and was able to bring our close ally united arab emirates together with our closest ally in the region israel which will make america safer and the whole region more hopeful. >> president netanyahu says israel is still committed to annexing parts of the west bank but, quote, it can only happen in coordination with the u.s. some are saying since he's still committed to that, this is only a symbolic victory. >> not at all. you have the first peace agreement in 26 years so that's not symbolic, that's concrete. the middle east has a lot of problemed devel es developed ov.

president trump moved the embassy to jerusalem, he recognized the golan heights. president trump's really realigned things. he's combatted extremism. he's taken out some of the leading terrorists in the region and that's created a much better paradigm there. we still have a lot more work to do, but over the last 3 1/2 years president trump's strategy that he laid out in riyadh in 2017 has been working and we have a lot more successes ahead and that's why president trump's strategy which a lot of people discounted and underestimated because it was unorthodox is something that is proving to have great results. >> i want to turn to the coronavirus because we just had the worst day for deaths since late may. the cdc head robert redfield said we could face the worst

fall in the history of american health if we don't follow some basic guidelines. dr. fauci said i'm not pleased with how things are going. vice president biden in his campaign has called for a national mask mandate. the president said he is against that. why? >> president trump has strongly encouraged people to wear masks. he believes in the federalist system. he trusts americans to make the right decisions for themselves. he trusts governors to make the right decisions. a lot of governors have put in place mask mandates and the president has supported them. you have some states with very low transmission and some with very high. if people feel comfortable wearing masks, they bliabsolute should. it's a good thing to do. people should be doing it but president trump does not believe washington should be telling people how to live their lives. i think we have made a lot of progress. we've got on the hospitals to

our country all the different supplies we needed. we've seen a lot of hysteria that wouldn't be possible. the fastest vaccine in history took 13 months to get from development to stage 3 trials. pesident trump's done that in four months without bypassing any safety regulations. we have six of them very close to being done and we're simultaneously manufacturing doses. president trump is making his decisions based on the science. he's been following the advice of his advisors. he's focused on making sure as few people as possible lose their jobs and that the economic impact is as little as possible while also trying to save as many lives as possible. it's a global pandemic. it's a very tough situation and president trump has shown great leadership. >> the science is clear that masks make a big difference. >> yeah. but again, it's a difference between mandating them and allowing people to do it. he supported a lot of governors

who have put in place mandates. the way the federal system works is that the president doesn't believe there's a on-size-fits-all approach everywhere. the president believes the masks should be decided on the local level. he has taken a strong stance that he encourages all americans to wear masks and he believes it will help us defeat this virus. >> even though frequently he doesn't wear one himself. >> again, you're supposed to wear one in situations. you shouldn't wear a mask in the shower when there's no one around. if you're in the right environment, there's no need to wear a mask. but people should take precautions and wear masks where appropriate. a lot of people have tried to politicize this issue. this is a public health issue. we should all be focusing on what's best for the country and how do we move forward. the good news with the vaccine coming is our case fatality rate has gone down. hospitals are learning how to treat people much better. we're learning from the science

who has a greater risk and a smaller risk based on this disease. as the vaccine shows a lot of promise, hopefully we can rebuild the country. president trump built the greatest economy our country has seen in 50 years before the virus and i have no doubt he'll be able to do it again, this time even bigger and better. he's bringing a lot of our jobs back now from china and other places and focusing on how do we never put ourselves in a position where we're vulnerable to a and like this again. >> in that press conference yesterday president trump promotes a false and racist conspiracy that senator kamala harris is not eligible to be vice president. let's take a listen. >> so i just heard that, i heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements. by the way, the man who wrote that piece is a very highly qualified very talented lawyer. i had no idea that's right. i would have assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen

to run for vice president. but that's very serious. they're saying she doesn't qualify because she wasn't born in this country. >> does the trump company accept that kamala harris is a qualified candidate? >> he just said he had no idea whether that's right or wrong. i don't see that as promoting it. at the end of the day it's something that's out there. >> that's not what i'm asking. do you accept she's a qualified candidate? >> i personally have no reason to believe she's not but my focus has been on the historic peace deal we've been able to achieve here. >> she was born in oakland, california. >> yeah. >> makes her a qualified candidate. why didn't the president take the opportunity to debunk that theory? >> i have not had a chance to discuss that with him but again let his words speak for themselves. >> you spoken with kanye west who's been a friend of yours for ten years. >> yes.

>> is the republican party trying to help kanye west get on the ballot in some states? >> no. our discussion was we were talking about different policies. kanye is a visionary thinker. he cares a lot about our country and a lot of people. we were discussing a book he sent me a while ago called "powernomics." president trump promised that he would be the president for all americans and especially represent the forgotten americans in this country. president trump led historic efforts to pass criminal justice reform. i was fortunate to lead those efforts which rolled back the crime laws passed in 1994 that had a disproportionate impact on the african-american community. he also passed opportunity zones to get access to capital in under served areas. a lot of these ideas for how we can get better schools and capital and jobs into the inner cities are ones president trump

is focused on. kanye and i like to talk about things like that but we haven't discussed his campaign. >> you didn't discuss his campaign for president at all? >> we did not. >> jared kushner, thank you very much. >> thank you. ♪

on showtime. how women are organizing around senator kamala harris and against sexism in presidential politics. that's coming up. first, your local news is next. good morning, i'm meteorologist mary lee. and i am tracking dangerous heat. so we're starting our heat wave and it will continue over the next several days. so looking at 108 in the afternoon in concord. 106 in livermore. 98 for san jose. 90 for oakland and 85 for san francisco. excessive heat warnings and heat advisories in effect for most of the bay area except the immediate shoreline from 11:00 a.m. today through wednesday 9:00 p.m. and check out the heat. so looking at hot temperatures through the weekend and in fact into next week. we are going to continue with

this strong ridge of high pressure. this heat dome. really helping these temperatures to skyrocket over the next several days. today, looking at record tying and record-breaking high temperatures. gianna? thanks mary. taking a look at the roadways right now. a live look at the richmond-san rafael rand which is a pretty backed up this morning. look at that. a lot of brake lights going westbound near the toll plaza just past that. there may have been an earlier trouble spot in that area. causing it this backup. just a heads-up. might run into a few brake lights at the richmond-san rafael bridge. not a bad ride if you want to take that out of the east bay over into marin county. jumpening over to the maps right now. a live look at the san mateo bridge. if you are headed across the span westbound, traffic is moving okay for the most part. not seeing a lot of brake lights yet. but we have reports of an accident westbound 92. not too far from el camino. so we'll see if that tends to back things up in the area and reports with a possible injury. and at least one lane is blocked there. and a quick look her

at the want restaurants to open? and schools? want the economy to get back on track? you're not alone. and you can help make it happen. stay 6 feet apart. wash your hands. wear a mask every time you leave your home. choose to join the fight against covid-19. do your part. slow the spread.

california's economic challenges are deepening. frontline workers stretched too thin. our nurses and medical professionals in a battle to save lives. our schools, in a struggle to safely reopen, needing money for masks and ppe, and to ensure social distancing. and the costs to our economy, to our state budget? mounting every day. we need to provide revenues now, to solve the problems we know are coming.

welcome welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you stories that are the talk of the table. this is where we'd like to pick a story to share with each other. you know the drill. michelle is first. >> anybody who knows me knows i'm a who dat saints fan and a true-blue dodgers fan. >> you let us know. >> yes, i do. >> dodger stadium, guess what, will make election history in november when it will be used as a polling place. it's the first time a major league team has offered its ball park as a voting center. it's part of an initiative by more than a vote, a group created by nba superstar lebron james to fight voter suppression.

for the five days leading up to the november 3rd election, all registered voters in los angeles county will be able to park for free -- that's a big one -- and vote at dodger stadium. >> this is a great idea. all that room -- providing it's not raining, for social distancing and parking. >> next to staples center. >> it's a great idea. >> michelle, you know the dodgers are from brooklyn originally. just want to mention that. >> i kind of knew that. that's why my grandma was such a great fan, because of jackie robinson. >> some people are still smarting from them leaving. >> that's true. >> here is mine. a married couple from brooklyn is keeping the romance alive during the pandemic. dean and jasmine gas kin have set up private pop-up dinners around the city for date night.

this week they had a candlelight takeout dinner on the brooklyn bridge. the two also had dinner on the beach in coney island to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary after plans for a trip to mexico fell through. we all know about those. jasmin says she simply wanted to dip her toes in the sand. >> they have two kids, not ready to go to restaurants. i totally understand this. they came up with their own plan. >> fellas, take notes. take notes, guys. >> vlad, what have you got? >> new york city is one of the most romantic cities in the world. you can't go wrong. all right. i'm dishing about oscar winner russell crowe. he confirmed this week he donated $5,000 to a restaurant destroyed by last week's deadly explosion in beirut.

the late chef anthony bourdain called it legendary spot. le chef was legendary staple and he tweeted he made the donation on behalf of anthony bourdain. bourdain featured the restaurant on his tv show, no rest investigations, in 2006. so far about $18,000 has been raised to rebuild the restaurant. good vibes for that. >> great food i'm sure there. to have an opportunity to go to lebanon and taste it firsthand. >> beirut is a wonderful -- one of the greatest cities of the world, beirut. it is remarkable. >> i hear that. i hear that. thanks so much, vlad. moving on now, when senator kamala harris officially accepts the democratic party's nomination, she will become the third woman on a major party's presidential ticket. the we have her back campaign is

working to fight any misogyny the senator might face it's led by representatives of supermajority, emily's list and time's up now. former planned parenthood parenthood cecile richards spoke to alex wagner for this sunday's episode of "the circus." >> mondale was behind when ferraro was his running mate. sarah palin was a hail mary pass. joe biden is ahead. a lot of people say, i don't know, this is a high-risk situation. >> i feel like just the opposite. i feel like the excitement and energy among women in general is, of course, off the charts. women are now -- they've dominated the primaries this election cycle. historic number of women running for office. the energy that i'm feeling out there in the countryside that we would now have the chance to elect a woman and have a

government that begins to look like us, i think it will energize all voters. >> "the circus" airs on show time which is a division of viacom cbs. we welcome alex this morning. thanks for joining us. >> always. great to see you, michelle. >> even with a historic number of women running in the democratic primary, a man is still the signal. what does that say about the use of women candidates? >> it's true that none of those very qualified women made to it the top of the democratic ticket. the reality is when you look at voting patterns, look at what happened in the 2018 midterms when america sent a record number of women to congress, look at the excitement and enthusiasm and the organization of women in four years since president trump was elected, we seem to be, michelle, in a different moment f. you look at the polling nationally, there's a chasm that has opened between the two candidates.

women are breaking for biden by up to 20 points, and that was before he announced kamala harris as his running mate. if you look at early opinion polling from this week, it seems like his choice of kamala harris has the approval of a majority of the country. 60% of americans approve of his choice of kamala harris including, and this is the important part, 37% of republicans. so, you know, the jury is still out. but i would say the trend lines towards americans embracing a woman in a leadership role, it seems to be going in that direction. >> senator harris has spoken a lot about her personal story, family life as a child in 'em grants and her roll as mamala to her step kids. what kind of impact does this have? >> i think we're still writing the book on what it means to be a woman in power. the mamala story when the vice president came and introduced his running mate to the country earlier this week, that story is something that anybody on the

campaign trail heard kamala harris herself tell in the fall, but it doesn't mean it wasn't a very deliberate move on the part of the biden campaign to try and show kamala harris as a multifaceted candidate. she's a tenacious litigator, but also someone cooking a sunday meal. she's someone who is at all the swim meets. i think that's indicative of the fact that we want to see women as people, fairly or unfairly, who can do many different things at once. they can be killer professionals but they're also great on the domestic front. michelle, i was with cory booker, one of kamala harris' besties yesterday, he spent time telling me the story about he, the bachelor, was trying to cook a pot of lentils. he called his friend kamala harris and said, you know what, cory, let's face time. she spent time with him on the phone guiding him through her favorite lentil recipe and teaching him how to chop an onion. i promise you, michelle, we'll hear that story a lot between

now and november. >> he's an easy student. i don't understand whether or not he can cook, but easy student there. president trump has been on the attack, calling harris a snasity, a tesnasitnasty, a term he only seems to use for women. he said he would get support from the suburban housewife crew. what is his strategy here? >> i think trump in a lot of ways is running the 2016 playbook, using a lot of the same rhetoric, going for the sharp jugular attacks. i think it's a question about whether it's going to work. i interviewed cecile richards, the woman we heard from earlier in this tape because she's working preemptively with a group of other women, all seasoned political veterans, head some of the biggest women's groups in the country. they're saying we are preemptively going to issue notice to media, to the public, to candidates, we see you and we are monitoring the ways in which

you're talking about women and we are developing a war room on our side to push back against what we see as misogyny and sexism. it's sort of born out of ptsd of the 2016 race and races thereafter where they see women not getting a fair shake. what you're seeing is an expectation of women, and men to some degree, that things could get ugly in terms of gender in this election, but the sort of operation, the behind the scenes war room is much more fired up and much more prepared than they were four years ago. it will be interesting to see how well these attacks on the part of trump and his allies land. >> i see it and they're calling on male allies in particular. alex wagner, thank you so much. the newest season of "the circus" runs this sunday at 8:00. we'll have full coverage of the democratic national convention right here on "cbs this morning." our primetime coverage begins monday at 10:00 p.m. eastern.

chanel miller was onc chanel miller was once only known as emily doe. the anonymous victim of a sexual assault by a swimmer at stanford

"know my name" went on to become a "new york times" best seller. she's making her way as a young artist living right here in new york city. we caught up with her to find out how her life has changed. >> you moved to new york city in the middle of a pandemic. what has that been like for you? >> i'm very familiar with the trees in my neighborhood. i've developed deep grooves in the sidewalks from walking the same loops. when i was writing the book, i was alone at home for three years without any co-workers and without anyone knowing that i was at home. so i felt like, okay, i've been here before, but the difference for me now is that i'm not as mentally isolated because this time people are aware of who i am and what i'm doing, and i also think i was forced to live in a suspended state of uncertainty for a really long time. i waited a year and a half to get that verdict. i had to just keep reassuring

myself that no matter the outcome, i'd figure out a way to be okay. right now that's something we're all learning how to do, and i hope that people don't underestimate that as a skill. >> it's been nearly a year since you revealed your identity. what's it like now that the entire world knows your name? >> i'm really grateful that before lockdown happened, i was able to have a few book signings and finally meet people face-to-face and experience that warmth directly. people would line up and write their names on post-it notes in the book so i could sign them. i've kept every single one because i'm meeting the people who have saved me. >> when you were growing up, it was hard to find representation which made it hard for you to identify with your asian heritage. talk to me a little bit more about that. >> growing up, i didn't see

people who looked like me on prominent screens. and even before i started doing interviews last year, i kept questioning if i truly belonged in these prominent seats. but maybe it's because i'm not used to seeing people like me sitting there. that's why it feels so unnatural. if i do it, maybe it will become more natural for someone else who looks like me. >> in the wake of the coronavirus, there's been an update in attacks on asians, but specifically in this country on asian-americans. have you experienced any of that? >> first i want to say that it's important to note that it's not new. it's more physical andaggressiv new. if you speak to any asian-american, they can list out micro aggressions they've experienced since childhood and insulting racist comments. we can't tolerate this anymore,

especially now when the hate crimes are getting more violent and pervasive. we're not going to sit back. >> you write that your art is what helped you get through some of the darkest periods of your life, and now you are creating art and exhibiting art. what does that feel like? >> i think a lot about how, when i was in court, it's a place that's completely devoid of art, and that was difficult for me. art has immense power to nourish people and also address your humanity, just to give someone something nice to look at. that was important to me. and now what's incredible is that the asian art museum has given me a 75-foot wall. >> that's amazing. >> yeah. it's something that i never would have asked for or thought

to ask for, hey, can i fill that wall. the fact they brought me to the museum, stood me on the street before this massive wall and said "this is yours," again that's restructuring how i see myself and also telling me how much spacey deserve to take up in the world, and that's what i hope people feel when they go there and see it. >> wow. anthony and michelle, the mural that she has created is called "i was, i am, i will be." during that victim impact statement that she read in court, she talked about being with everybody, being with little girls, being with people who are not believed. she was with them. you heard her say to me that now it's come full circle, that the folks around her who have come to see her, who have come and read her book, she's supported by them. >> survivors' voices are so important to hear. so good to hear hers. >> i love the story -- i love

the whole conversation, but i love the story about keeping the post-it notes attached to the books she signed. >> we both ahed when we heard that. >> on the podcast hear more of my conversation with the ford foundation president darren walker about capitalism. listen on your favorite podcast platform. we'll be right back.

good morning to you, i'm meteorologist mary lee tracking the heat. we will see record highs, record-tying and record- breaking high temperatures for today. so today the hottest day of the week and likely some of the hottest temperatures so far this summer. check it out. 108 in concord. 106 in livermore and 98 close to 100 degrees in san jose and mid 80s for san francisco. excessive heat warnings and heat advisories in effect for most of the bay area. and that will be in effect from 11:00 a.m. through wednesday 9:00 p.m. this will be a prolonged heat event for the bay area. so still hot conditions through

the weekend and in fact, into next week. all because of that heat dome that strong ridge of high pressure helping those temperatures to skyrocket. gianna? thanks mary. taking a look at the roadways right now. we had a brief photograph alert on the richmond-san rafael bridge. apparently a big rig with a broken axle was stuck in a lane. you can see it's still really backed up. it's very close to where it was near the toll plaza and it's off to the side of the roadway now though. hopefully things will improve as we take a look at travel times though, still seeing a lot of red on the sensors for that drive across the richmond- san rafael bridge. 21 minutes now to go from castro street over to 101. and if you want to use the bay bridge, no delays there. you can always use that if you are commuting into the city or westbound 37 not showing a lot of brake lights, that is also an caption over the east bay to marin. the san mateo bridge, you saw on the drive times there only 12 minutes between 880 and 101.
