protests. how are things there now? >> for months, this area in front of the federal courthouse here in portland has been ground zero for protests. but i have to say most of them have been peaceful. now tensions seem to be rising after a right wing protester was killed by a left wing protester last weekend. that led to police shooting and killing the suspect. now this saul happening as people here in portland on both sides are beginning to plan a big turnout over the entire holiday weekend as we mark the 100 days of protests here in portland. cbs news has learned that michael reinoehl seen here in cell phone video after being shot was located by the fbi in lacy, washington. less than 50 miles southwest of seattle as marshals tried to apprehend him. law enforcement officials say reinoehl pulled a gun and he was shot and killed by at least one officer on the scene.

he was a suspect in saturday night's shooting death of aaron j. danielson who was part of the right wing group patriot prayer. joey gibson, the group's founder, says danielson was targeted. >> they don't know who j. is. they didn't kill him as an individual or because of something he did. >> it felt like the beginning of a war. >> reporter: shortly before his death was reported, reinoehl appeared on vice news tonight and said he opposed the right wing protests in portland and was forced to shoot in self-defense. >> totally justified? >> totally justified. had i not acted, i am confident that my friend and i am sure i would have been killed. >> reporter: after the vice interview aired, president trump tweeted, why aren't the portland police arresting the cold-blooded killer of aaron j. danielson? do your job and do it fast. there have been nightly demonstrations in the city since may. they've been limited to ten

locations in portland, mainly government buildings. >> we're out here because we were mad. we're out here because of a built-up frustration of 400 years of black people being oppressed by a systematically racist system. >> reporter: alazia helped organize the protest in response to the death of george floyd. they want substantial police budget cuts. some have used the protest to incite violence which adkins has decried. >> do that in the name of black lives matter, you're not for us. you're fully against us because you're doing things we're going to be fully held accountable for. >> reporter: after reinoel's death was announced, they claimed the suspect was only one of nearly a dozen people he claims to be involved or have been involved in his friend's killing. and he's calling on his followers to not rest until everyone he claims to be involved is brought to justice.

>> still a lot of questions. lilia, thank you. president trump is furiously denying a published report that claims he insulted americans who died in combat. he spoke after four unnamed sources told the atlantic that the president once called u.s. service members buried in france losers and suckers. ben tracy is at the white house for us. ben, good morning to you. the pushback on this story has been uniquely intense. >> it sure has. when this report first came out, at least ten current and former trump administration officials went on the record strongly denying it. and the president himself looked visibly aungry last night as he denied it, calling it an attempt to influence the election. >> i would be willing to swear on anything that i never said that about our fallen heroes. >> reporter: on his way back from pennsylvania, the president denied a new article in "the atlantic" that says in a 2018 trip overseas, president trump questioned why he should go to a cemetery of american soldiers near paris saying it's filled

with losers. and called the american war dead suckers for getting killed. >> there is nobody that respects them more. so i just think it's a horrible, horrible thing. no animal, nobody, what animal would say such a thing? and especially since i've done more -- i think, than almost anybody to help our military. >> reporter: the article also said the president canceled the visit to the cemetery because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain. >> can also speak to secret service. they wouldn't let me go no matter what happened because of security, because of safety. >> reporter: at the time, the white house did tell reporters that trip to the cemetery had been canceled due to difficulties caused by the weather. but both german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel macron attended a memorial service at other sites also outside paris. the article also says that when senator john mccain died, the president told his senior staff, we're not going to support that loser's funeral. >> i disagreed with john mccain,

but i still respected him. >> reporter: back in 2015, then candidate drurconald trump saids of mccain who was a prisoner of war for more than five years. >> he's not a war hero. >> he's a war hero. 5 1/2 years -- >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. >> reporter: the latest controversy comes as the president appears to suggest voters who vote by mail should also vote in person. >> sign your mail-in ballot, okay? you sign it. and send it in. and then you have to follow it. and if on election day or early voting, that is not tabulated and counted, you go vote. >> reporter: cbs news obtained a new department of homeland security bulletin that warns russia is amplifying criticisms of vote by mail and echoing the president's own words claiming ineligible voters could receive ballots. now in many states it is a felony to knowingly vote twice. on thursday, north carolina's

board of elections had to send out a reminder to voters about that and told them don't come to the polls in person if you've already voted by mail. they fear that will make the lines unnecessarily long and could spread coronavirus. anthony? >> ben, thank you. democratic nominee joe biden visited kenosha, wisconsin, yesterday, two days after the president. it was biden's first trip as a candidate to that battleground state. he met with community members and the family of jacob blake, the black man shot seven times in the back by a white police officer. biden's message was very different than the president's as ed o'keefe reports. >> just off the plane in wisconsin, joe biden met with jacob blake's family. blake's now out of the icu and phoned into the meeting from his hospital bed. biden later described their conversation. >> he talked about how nothing was going to defeat him. how -- whether he walked again or not, he was not going to give up.

>> reporter: the visit was a far different scene from the president's earlier in the week which focused on law and order. >> we've seen tremendous violence and we will put it out very, very quickly if given the chance. >> reporter: the former vice president spoke during a meeting at a church with kenosha residents. >> there is a pain in my section of town. mr. blake was shot two blocks from my house. >> there's way more that we want done, and it didn't just start with jacob. >> reporter: biden addressed racism. >> i thought you could defeat hate. it only hides. >> reporter: and talked about changes he would try to make if he's elected. >> there will be a national commission on policing out of the white house. where i'll bring everyone to the table, including police chiefs, including civil rights activists, including naacp, including the african -- the latino community. >> reporter: kenosha is still reeling from blake's shooting and the aftermath. diner owner julie rittmiller

says she wants her city to heal. >> it's heartbreaking. i understand the anger. i'm hoping this brings everybody together. >> reporter: biden is set to speak later this morning here in his hometown of wilmington, delaware, about the economy. and he's set to keep a more aggressive travel schedule with stops scheduled in michigan and pennsylvania. he's also weighed in on the atlantic magazine article saying in a statement that if the president's comments about members are ice true, it would be, quote, another marker of how deeply president trump and i disagree about the role of the president of the united states. gayle? >> ed, thank you. now to rochester, new york, where police clashed with protesters overnight over the death of a black man following an encounter with police. this video is very hard to watch. daniel prude died in march after officers put a spit hood over his head as he was taken into custody during a mental health episode. all seven officers involved have been suspended now. jericka duncan reports from rochester.

>> mr. daniel prude was failed by our police department and he was failed by me. >> reporter: in a rare move, rochester mayor lovely warren took responsibility for her role in the investigation into the death of daniel prude. >> i have never shied away from taking action and holding our police or anyone that fails in their duties in our community accountable. that is why i am suspending the officers in question today. >> reporter: police body camera video shows officers putting a spit hood over prude's head and shoving his face into the ground for three minutes while he was naked and handcuffed. >> trying to kill me! >> reporter: mayor warren did not name the seven officers who were suspended but says systemic racism played a part in prude's death. >> do you think daniel prude would have been treated differently if he was white? >> i do. >> why? >> it's just the way that the system works. >> reporter: she says police

chief laron singleitary originally told her prude died of a overdice in police custody. she did not see the body cam video until august 4th. >> i've addressed with the police chief how deeply and personally and professionally disappointed i am. >> i don't understand why they're not being charged with murder. >> reporter: daniel prude's 18-year-old daughter tashyra says paid suspension of the officers is not justice for her father's death. >> they're doing their hardest to give these officers a slap on the wrist. and because they did that, they're giv memorial here for daniel prude. this is the area where he was arrested. as for new information that we're hearing this morning, a spokesperson for the city tells our affiliate that the new york assistant attorney general, jennifer summers, asked the city not release that body camera video back in june as it would

interfere with their investigation. tony? >> jericka, thank you. this is one of those incidents where you wonder, the police perhaps were not the best force to show up for what was a mentalealth episode. it's about the mission of police. i don't think they want to be in that situation. >> not to mention the training of police. are they trained for a situation like that? >> you know what, this is the thing. when you look at that video and hear the officers talking, they're laughing. they're sort of joking. the inhumanity of how this man was treated. start with the fact he's naked. you can tell he's unarmed. his family had called for help. and the way he was treated just when we look at the george floyd video we think we can't possibly get worse. that video actually makes me nauseous because you can see that this man is in clear distress. and no one is helping him. no one is helping him. and the video, the only reason those officers have been suspended, thank god for the video, is because that video came out. >> there's a callousness there. if he had a broken leg, the reaction would be different than what we saw. he needed mental health

intervention and there's a callousness there. there is. it's a double standard. we've covered it in our hour on mental health. >> it's interesting how the mayor is taking the position that she's taking that he was failed and she even said, i failed him. taking responsibility. the newest monthly employment report is out. employers added 1.4 million jobs in august. that is less than the 1.8 million for july. however, the unemployment rate dropped to 8.4%. joblessness had soared during the coronavirus pandemic. at the very same time wall street boomed. our mark strassmann looks at the split between investors and still hard-hit workers. >> it's ridiculous that we have to stand in line like this. >> reporter: covid america has forced the jobless to redefine success. forget the dream job. find a paycheck. >> i had the dream job, and because of covid, i lost it. >> reporter: eric belt runs a -- lots of 26-year-olds believe

they are. but he worked as a brewer. beltran was furloughed in mid-march, laid off in late may. his unemployment benefits abruptly stopped. he's gone four weeks without one nickel in income. >> at this point, it is just trying to find a safe job. >> a paycheck? >> yes. >> reporter: how stressful is it? >> i don't get that interview. i don't get the job. i don't get unemployment. it weighs on me more and more. >> reporter: since mid-march in covid america, more than 59 million people have filed unemployment claims. in that same time, the new york stock exchange has grown more than 41%, driven largely by tech stocks. >> it's created big winners and big losers. >> reporter: mark zandi credits record low interest rates for rocketing stock prices. but half of americans own no stocks. >> about a fifth of americans are working less and getting

paid less than they did before the pandemic. so that's a real result of the pandemic. the stock market is just completely disconnected from that. >> wall street means nothing to the main street where eric beltran still looks for work. >> is the economy doing any better for you? >> for me, no. absolutely not. it's great that the apple and tesla are flying high. doesn't really change the fact that, you know, i can move in with my parents. >> reporter: beltran really should qualify for unemployment. he's trying to work through a bureaucratic issue with georgia. he wenting $4,000 a month in benefits to zero. this guy describes himself as relentlessly optimistic. but he admits, gayle, it's starting to get to him. >> yeah. and who can blame him. but someone is watching him right now. they are looking for someone relentlessly optimistic. hope somebody reaches out to him because of that story.

time for "what to watch" on this holiday weekend. our usual working man, vlad duthiers, is off. but jamie yuccas, laboring in his place. good morning to you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. a white professor at george washington university admits she lied about being black. jessica a. krug who used the name jessica la bombera for years made the bombshell confession to a blog post yesterday admitting she is actually white and jewish. she's a finalist for book prizes. she's claim to have african and caribbean heritage. the historian says, quote, i have thought about ending these lies many times over the years, but my cowardice was always more powerful than my ethics." krug says there are no words in any language to express the depth of my remorse.

a spokesperson for george washington university told cbs news the school is working on a response. she taught african studies. she's also saying that she blames her messantal health, th she had trauma as a child and created this story. that she lived this life being a black woman. >> well -- >> gayle? >> when i first heard the story, i have to say i was amused. after reading it, the more i read, i'm no longer amused. listen, she's probably going to get hammered on social media. she's doing a good job of it herds. i'm not a culture vulture, i'm a culture leach. i am a coward. i should absolutely be canceled. i don't know how to fix this. i was audaciously deceptive. and i have to think all of that is true. i do think she needs some help. what i now think is going to happen, she'll write a book and get money from the book. and i just don't think that is fair. >> do you think she'll do that? >> outrageous. >> it's a devastating -- the

attack is a devastating attack on herself. this article that she's written. >> she does attack herself. i think she needs help. >> obviously she seems -- she acti acknowledg aknowledges she does. when you check the box, people look at you differently. at the same time, i'm sure people are looking at her as the white jewish lady. she's coded differently than she is on paper and making claims. that's what makes it problematic. >> i'm glad that she's owned up to it. i hope she gets some help. jamie, tributes still pouring in for chadwick boseman. all of us thinking about his death. we got this news this day last -- last week. >> yeah. >> 11:00 at night is when we first heard. what's going on now? >> it was shocking to so many of us. >> it was. still is. >> the actor is being remembered as a hometown hero in his native south carolina. >> in "black panther" there was a line from michael b. jordan, is this your king?

shooting death of aaron danielson who is linked to a far right group. that incident happened after trump supporter and protesters clashed. meanwhile in kenosha, joe biden met with local leaders and the family of jacob blake. biden spoke to blake himself by phone as blake recovers in the hospital. >> he talked about how nothing was going to defeat him. how whether he walked again or not, he was not going to give up. i think what's been unleashed with a lot of people is they understand that fear doesn't solve problems. only hope does. >> wisconsin lieutenant governor mandela barns join us. good morning. thank you for being with us. i know you can't share specifics about the investigation into jacob blake's shooting, but what can you tell us about the actions that are being taken?

>> what i can tell you is that there is a thorough investigation going on. thank you for even bringing this up. thank you for giving this moment space. it's so important for the american people to realize what is going on and i can honestly say i know about as much as you know. i saw the same video that you-all saw. i saw the same video many americans saw, that's a person being shot in the back seven times. i know that our state department of justice is carrying out this investigation, as well and i've intentionally stayed as far away from it as possible to avoid any sort of conflict. we need this to be done as thoroughly as possible. >> when you saw that video, you wrote on twitter you've got to be kidding me? i'm wondering, the officer who shot jacob blake was put on administrative leave. do you believe he should be arrested? >> well, personally, i just don't see how anybody gets away with shooting somebody in the

back seven times and i feel like administrative leave is sort of a -- it doesn't fit the actions that we saw and too often we see these repeated cycles. the same scene over and over again where an unarmed person is shot and then they end up getting desk duty. i don't think that's fair. many people don't think that's fair, as well. it just feels like there is so much room for certain officers to make mistakes, but suspects cannot make the same mistakes without fear of losing their lives. many people, again, who we see are unarmed and jacob blake is now paralyzed. he won't be able to walk again. and the officer has desk duty. i don't think anybody thinks that's fair right now. we're waiting for this investigation to play out because it's important to find out all the facts but we saw what we saw. >> we just saw that joe biden was in kenosha yesterday. president trump was there a few days before. the governor asked both presidential candidates not to

come for fear of inflaming things. do you think in any way those visits were beneficial? >> so, i'll say that the -- you know, i joined the governor in admonishing the trump visit because trump is a person that's yet to condemn the teen neiage shooter that was transported between state lines to kill people on our streets. donald trump has done more to create division and virtually celebrated this person who has killed two people on our city streets and severely injured another. that's not what we need at this moment. kenosha is a city that's healing. our state is a state that's grappling with racial tension and racial injustice and kenosha is ground zero for that right now. after the protests to, you see so many people who are coming together, who are uniting, who are deciding that this is the time for the city to do better, for the state to do better and donald trump's visit would only -- it was one that sought

to divide this city and this state even more because he's not performing well in the polls. this is a state he won four years ago and the only way he's able to win is when people are divided. i am glad to see while donald trump was there, there was a beautiful celebration of community. you had kids out and family mmbers out and had people just having a great time enjoying themselves and getting to know one another and joe biden's trip was all about listening. it was different. he didn't make remarks before he showed up. he said as a presidential candidate, he wanted to demonstrate the type of leadership he will provide to this nation and that started by listening. that's exactly what he did. he didn't come here to spout off and say things that would tear this community further apart. >> you recently spoke to jacob blake's family, lieutenant governor. what was their message? >> so, their message is one of hope. it's one of resilience.

their message is the kenosha story, it's the wisconsin story. it one although there is so much hurt and pain, that they do believe that they're going to get through this. not just them as a family but as a community. that's one of the most amazing things about it. i hate so much that this family is going through all of this trouble but they want things to get better not just for jacob blake but for everyone in kenosha and across the state and everybody across this country who is dealing with extreme injustice because they know this is not the way. they know that this is not fair to communities that continue to be marginalized and if we don't do something about it as leaders, as a community and elected officials and faith leaders, business leaders, we're going to be far worse off than the worst examples of things. you look at this continued killing like after jacob blake was shot, we still lost two people on the street. two people lost their lives and this is not any sort of way to

carry on society. >> lieutenant governor mandela barns, thank you for being with us this morning. ahead, criminal justice reform activist alice marie johnson takes about the strong reactions to her appearance at convention and how she plans to vote

we have much more news

ahead. children heading back to school are filled with questions about changes during the pandemic. >> why can't we go and see our friends? why can't we go to school? why do we have to do this online learning stuff, and how is this going to help us? >> why? why? why? coming up, we continue our school matters series with answers from students, for students from psychologist lisa demore. you're watching "cbs this morning." why? why? why?

welcome back to "cbs this morning" on welcome back to "cbs this morning" on this friday. talk of the table. you know how it goes. we'll pick a story we like and share with each other and you. anthony, you're up first. >> i'm up first. yesterday we talked about the sad news of the death of tom saber and a gesture. take a look at what they did. >> a fitting tribute by the mets players of today, dirt on their right knee. that was tom seaver's signature, the drop and drive that resulted

in the knee hitting the ground. >> i love what they did there. the mets hung seaver's jersey in the dugout and showed his retired number 41. seaver died at the age of 75 monday. a stood atute will be unveiled season. his daughter posted one of the last photos show took of her dad on facebook as thanking everybody for the love everyone has shown her father and the mets won the game with the home run. we saw the video and our producer john tower told me we have exhausted all of our mets news. the quota for mets news for the entire year. >> i was so touched by what you had to say about tom seaver. i feel i learned more about him yesterday. >> the most excited -- >> based on what you said. >> if you're of a certain vintage of this city, he's so iconic. >> sounds like it. >> he earned it and deeverythse. >> rub some dirt on those suit

pants. >> little kids were emulating seaver for many years because he would drop low and his knee would hit the ground on the follow through motion. such a powerful pitcher. >> we'll see anthony's dirt on his knee next week. >> he's going to throw his arm out this weekend. mine is about a woman once on alabama's most wanted list. guess what she did? she saved the life of the police officer who arrested her eight years ago. her name is joyce lynn james. the retired officer is terrell potter. she was scrolling through facebook when she said potter needed a kidney transplant. she remembered him. she offered to donate her organ and turns out, they were a match. >> the holy spirit told me you got that man's kidney. i knew right then i had his kidney.

>> it very humbling to have somebody that would give you a part of their body to extend your life. >> wow. potter was facing an eight-year wait for a new kidney. the surgery, as you can see, was successful. they are both doing great. the officer says this was not a coincidence. this was nobody but god. it is interesting the encounters they had. actually, she credits that officer with saving her life. she said i still really shouldn't even be alive today. >> yeah. >> i love her transformation from the early pictures, the journey out of addiction to where she is today. that's inspiring. >> i think so, too. >> what are you thinking, tony? >> no, i was going to say an eight-year wait. that's a lifesaver in every way. sorry, tony, go ahead. i got firepower in my talk of the table. i have video help. it about children and what they are saying as a go back to school pandemic. 56 million k through 12 students are returning this fall either remotely or in person or

blending the approaches. we spoke to children for our school matters series. here is what they said. >> we're excited to get back to school. how do you feel? >> i'm excited to go back to school, too. i'm excited about recess and how seeing my friends will work and wearing masks and social distancing. >> it's not going to be as fun. >> you have to wear the mask. >> i'm concerned about my experience, this will be my last year of high school so i know i won't be getting the same experience as a lot of seniors before me. >> why can't we go see our friends? why can't we go to school? why do we have to do this online learning stuff? and how is this going to help us? >> i want to see my teachers again. >> i think the teachers might be a little, like, nervous maybe a little bit. they don't want to get sick, so yeah, it's what i'm a little nervous of. >> students might find it more easier or difficult to learn

through online schooling, so will colleges look at this year more lenient or strict as it comes to the out comes? >> i feel like the grades are going to, like, drop because i'm going to be so used to online school, that i forget how to do in person school. which is actually isn't normal. >> they are worried. >> nothing as teenagers abut th 8-year-old and 4-year-old gavin. >> or grace. my sister lenny teaches elementary school and says it's very hard when you deal with a computer screen because some will get up and auk wwalk away. they get up and walk away. >> i think that reflective 8-year-old. i think my grades will drop. >> they are very worried. we get it. listen, as hard as it is for them, it's new for everybody. >> sustaining it is hard. everybody thought going into the summer things would be better in the fall and now here, a lot of

moments ago we heard from moments ago, we heard from children talking about concerns about returning to school during this very unusual time in the pandemic. we're going to stick with that. psychologist and cbs news lisa damour joins us to answer those. this is a really interesting conversation. i think colin here in montana who we have a question from really sums it up when he says, he's going back to school in person and like a lot of kids, i think he's concerned about the social distancing. he says, he's scared his school will feel like a jail, cold and distant. what's your advice for students confronting that kind of experience when they go back? >> well, colin is right. school is going to feel different this year. everyone will be wearing masks. there will be plexiglass in new places and everyone will be kept at a distance from one another. colin is doing something that will help him which is to think

about what he's walking into because any time we walk into a situation that's difficult, the more we imagine it and prepare ourselves mentally, the better it actually goes when we get there. anticipating those changes and being ready for them will make a big difference. the other thing i would say, though, to students is that their teachers want school to be a warm and friendly place. and i know teachers are going to do everything in their power to make students feel connected and calm and cared for even while following all of those safety precautions. >> yeah, part of keeping a school a warm and friendly place can mean a high five, a hug in the hold days. now we heard from gavin age 4, he said when will i be able to hug my teacher again? do y what do you say to kids like that? >> we don't know but until you can hug your teacher, there are lots of other ways that you can show them how much they mean to

you and be affection anytiwith . maybe you'll come up with a funny wave or special wink you give each other over your masks. you can still have that fun, playful affection until we can hug programs are coming up again. what's advice to those kids weighing the risks and benefits of getting involved with clubs, with theater, all of that? >> this is a tough one because nothing matters more than safety, and there may be things that kids cannot do safely. maybe sports or other kinds of theater activities, but what we should tell young people is that doesn't mean that they can't find ways to develop those skills, to build themselves as athletes and other things they would have worked on after school and they may even be able to get together with their peers in a safe way to do those things until the more traditional systems by which we do that can come back. >> when you talk about older

kids, high school age. they are thinking about college and the rest of their lives. this is a time they volunteer and build their resume for the application. now, they can't and they're nervous about that. what would you say to them? >> here is what i'm saying to young people. the bad news is this pandemic affects everybody. the better news is colleges now it affects everybody. so what i am telling young people is to do what they can with what they have where they are. this is a time to be resourceful. so it may be that young people develop a digital tutoring service for the kids in their community or painters get really serious about their artwork and find other ways. all students have ways to cultivate their lives. that's what colleges want to see. they want to see that you did what you could even within the limits placed upon you. >> lisa, can i say your voice is so soothing? [ laughter ] >> i don't know if i'm just noticing it for the first time but it's so soothing.

in the last hour we had a great story about a little boy named rocco 11 years old who said he was depressed. i think it's great he's speaking publicly on national tv with his mom and dad and his mom said, you know, this isn't something i ever thought i'd have to deal with. kids suffering from depression at a young age. what question should parents be asking and children be asking? how can we help them through this? >> we should expect sadness. these are hard times and feeling down about them is not a sign that there is something wrong, it actually a sign you're having the right feeling at the right time. so i don't want parents to be worried if their kids are feeling sad about the things they are missing out on or school being different. but mood should go up and down. kids should have sad moments and recover and feel good again. we worry when mood gets low and stays low. in teenagers we worry if they are cranky all the time. that's sometimes what depression looks like in teenagers. if a parent is worried, they should absolutely consult with

their physician or mental health professional to check things out. >> lisa, how do you deal with sort of the constantly changing landscape we're looking at right now? i mean, a lot of kids we're told they would be going back into the class and then the school changes its mind. it's shifting all the time. utine. >> they need routine, yeah. out. you know, what is this week going to look like, what is next week going to look like. and within those short timeframes to create routines. that in the day to day, there can be predictability even if there can't be predictability over a broader scope. and one of the things i love about kids and teenagers is they are flexible. they're actually more flexible than grown-ups. so if the grown-ups can have some confidence that kids will figure this out and be able to adapt as this continues to change on all of us, i think kids will figure it out. and we can count on them for that. >> all right. i think you're leaving everyone feeling a lot calmer this morning. we appreciate that. >> yes.

yes. >> thank you very much -- >> it is the job to help people feel good. that's what psychologists are supposed to do. >> mission accomplished. >> mission accomplished. >> well done. >> bravo. well done. on today's "cbs this morning" podcast, the foundmo of ben & jerry's ice cream, ben cohen and jerry greenfield, talk about the role of businesses in social activism. plus, how one theater company is making a comeback with special safety measures for perfok. motorcycle riders love the open road. and geico loves helping riders get to where they're going, so to help even more, geico is giving new and current customers a fifteen percent credit on their motorcycle policies
