school districts is helping student offenders instead of arresting them. how this approach is transforming kids' lives. >> first, here's today's "eye open opener." it's your world in 90 seconds. >> the situation that we have right now is a life-threatening situation. >> this came through like a jet plane really. >> this thing continues to grow exponentially. >> dozens of wildfires threatening the west. >> record heat. one day, snow the next. >> denver, you'll probably set a record at 29 degrees. >> i'm worried if we have a really good vaccine, people are going to be reluctant to take it. >> president trump is accusing joe biden and kamala harris of being anti-science after they say he's politicizing the search for a vaccine. >> biden and his running mate should apologize for the anti-vaccine rhetoric. >> we want people to protest peacefully. >> a weekend marked by more clashes between police and

protesters. >> people calling for an end to racial injustice. >> black lives matter! >> this is a righteous protest. >> a lucrative netflix deal, meghan and harry. >> serena williams advances to the u.s. open quarterfinals after a hard-fought win. >> and all that matters. >> dustin johnson cruising to victory at the tour championship. >> how good is that? >> so good. >> winning the fedexcup playoffs for the first time in his career. the prize? just $15 million. >> crack and put it in. oh, yes. no, we don't eat -- that's raw egg. >> the 2-year-old's cooking series on instagram that's going viral. >> you can see cade and nana attempting chocolate chip

cookies. >> quite the sticky fingers. >> oh, my gosh, no. >> this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." who is having more fun in that video. nana or cade? >> i think the little guy has discovered sugar. he was going to eat her arm at one point. >> that's a great memory to remember for both of them. we begin in california where a series of devastating wildfires in the west are turning towns into ruins. in california alone, more than 2 million acres have burned so far this year. that is an all-time record. utility blackouts forced by the fires have left 172,000 homes and businesses without power at this hour. >> fires are burning in more than a dozen western states. one of them destroyed around 80% of homes in a town in eastern washington. and smoke grounded an overnight

helicopter mission to evacuate dozens of hikers trapped in the mountains near fresno. jonathan vigliotti is in alder springs in northern california. jonathan, the scenes around some of these fires are really frightening. >> good morning to you. these are the kinds of unbelievable conditions that rescuers are facing this morning. and why they simply can't get to those campers trapped deep inside this forest. this wildfire is creating its own weather system. it is simply growing out of control, and there are not enough firefighters to hold it back. military pilots attempted several remote rescue operations monday to try and evacuate trapped hikers and campers near fres fresno, california. but heavy smoke from the devastating creek fire stopped them at their every turn. >> they weren't able to land several times. several attempts throughout the day. >> reporter: authorities expanded evacuation orders in communities near fresno monday as the creek fire continued to burn out of control.

this thick plume of smoke was seen from an airplane. the blaze decimated the town of big creek, including toby weight's home. >> devastation. i don't know how else to put it. it was totally devastating. >> reporter: this is what the community looked like before the fire. >> and this is after. ground zero where the creek fire got its name, and where today several neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble and ash. the elementary school was one of the few buildings undamaged. wait is the principal and superintendent. >> the school was the focal point of the community. it's the community center. it's where we gather. and to have that still standing, that is our beacon of hope. that school still there. >> reporter: it's still unclear what started the fire. another blaze about 80 miles east of l.a. forced thousands to evacuate there. authorities say a couple using a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device for a gender reveal ignited that fire. >> obviously, it's going to be a

traumatic experience for them. this is not what they wanted to remember their child. but it doesn't make the accident less severe. >>eporter: thousands of people are under a mandatory evacuation. those orders are expected to expand today as this fire continues to expand. more than 130,000 acres and growing this morning. back to you. >> be careful, jonathan. thank you. just a few hundred miles east of the fire zone, it's snowing right now. cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli is watching this winter storm pushing past record-breaking heat. how is this happening? >> you know, to put this into perspective, this is truly unprecedented. i've been doing this for 25 years. i've wanted to be a weatherman since i'm 3 years old. i've never seen anything like this. so i want to start you with what fires burning out of control. i've never seen fires burn quite as fast. we have smoke, we have dust, all

coming together and feeding into a snowstorm across the west. some pretty crazy weather. you can see it on that satellite photo right there. extremely critical fire danger in parts of oregon, washington and down into california. and that's because we have a wicked front which means business is headed to the south. wind gusts in utah, 97 miles an hour overnight. that's how strong some of these winds are. they'll gust to 40 and 60 miles an hour today making for out-of-control wildfires. the reason for all of this, an extremely amplified jet stream. warm air in alaska, cold air into colorado. temperatures yesterday, 93 degrees in denver. all of a sudden today, they are trading their swim trunks, literally, for snow boots. and then tomorrow morning, we are in the 20s. snow is falling heavy right now. we're expecting around 12 inches-plus in the mountains. and as much as six inches in denver. tony, the bottom line here is, if we do not combat climate change and take it seriously, this is going to be the rule in

the future, not the exception. >> jeff, thank you. glad to know you're living your little boy dream as a meteorologist. appreciate that report. >> i love it. i love it every day. >> very good. labor day always a key moment in any presidential race was dominated by coronavirus concerns. democratic nominee joe biden claims president trump uses politics instead of science to guide the federal government's response. the president, meanwhile, says his opponent is questioning vaccine research. paula reid is at the white house for us. good morning to you. this is a high-stakes political conversation. what else is the president saying here? >> good morning, tony. yesterday may have been a holiday for many americans, but both presidential candidates were busy trying to rally their supporters ahead of the november election. president trump held an event not too far from where i'm standing on the north side of the white house. it was billed as a labor day press conference but sounded a lot like a campaign rally. >> biden is a stupid person.

you know that. >> reporter: president trump used the white house as a backdrop for an abbreviated version of his standard campaign stump speech. >> biden and his very liberal running mate, the most liberal person in congress, by the way. not a competent person. >> he vilified his opponents for expressing concern about political pressure rushing the development of a vaccine. >> it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about. i will not take his word for it. >> they're going to make the vaccine into a negative. >> reporter: the president has repeatedly tied the vaccine's timeline to the election. >> we'll have a vaccine very soon. maybe even before a very special date. you know what date i'm talking about. >> reporter: monday afternoon, joe biden said the president had politicized the process, but if scientists said a vaccine was safe, he would take it. >> if i could get a vaccine tomorrow, i'd do it. if it cost me the election, i

would do it. >> reporter: meanwhile, the president continued to refute a report by "the atlantic" magazine alleging he canceled a visit to a cemetery near paris in 2018 because he reportedly said the cemetery was filled with losers. >> only an animal would say a thing like that. >> reporter: the president went on to attack military leaders. >> i'm not saying the military is in love with me. the soldiers are. the top people in the pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy. >> reporter: and biden seized on the report invoking his late son beau. an iraq war veteran who died of cancer in 2015. >> when it comes to veterans, he's downright un-american. i've never said that about a president, ever, ever, ever. these are heroes. i'll tell you something. my beau wasn't a loser.

>> reporter: president trump heads to florida and north carolina later today. one of the top republicans in the county that the president is vif visiting in north carolina is encouraging the president to wear a mask during his visit following the governor's order. he advises the president that when in rome, do as the romans do and when in north carolina, do as the governor says. just a moment ago, i got off the phone with a white house source who tells me the president is currently working on a list of potential supreme court picks. those are people he would nominate to the high court if he got an opening, which is very likely if he's re-elected. i'm told that list could be released as soon as this week. anthony? >> paula, thank you. health experts are worried the political rhetoric around a vaccine could affect people's willingness to be inoculated. when it finally becomes available. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is following this. how close are we to a vaccine? >> so anthony, there are three vaccines in phase three of the clinical trials here in the u.s. and about 46,000 americans are

participating in them. now phase three is the final process. so determining what comes out of there, figuring out if it's effective and good data, the last step would be approval. >> i think knowing that a vaccine is this close to being approved is really exciting and really promising. >> reporter: 37-year-old natalie hayden is a mother of two from st. louis, missouri. she is one of millions of americans with an underlying health condition, which means she is at higher risk to get really sick if she develops the coronavirus. treatments for crohn's disease have weakened her immune system. she didn't leave home for months at the start of the pandemic. she says a vaccine would be a lifeline for her and her family. >> do you plan to get a vaccine when it's available? >> i'm a little apprehensive about getting the vaccine, but i think in the end, i will be getting it. it's already september. when i think about possibly having a vaccine approved by the end of the year, that seems super fast, maybe a bit rushed. i probably wouldn't take it just yet in the next few months.

>> reporter: natalie is not alone in feeling that way. americans are growing increasingly skeptical about a potential vaccine. the latest cbs news poll shows that just 21% say they'll get the vaccine as soon as one is available. that is down from 32% in july. but experts say the science behind the vaccine has been very sound. >> it has gone incredibly fast, but it's been done with integrity. >> reporter: that's dr. ashish jha, dean at brown university school of public health. he's worried that months of hard work on vaccines could be compromised by political pressure being placed on the fda and by campaign politics affecting people's attitudes about vaccine safety. >> our national response to this pandemic has not been stellar on so many different levels. but the one area where we've actually done a really good job is on vaccines. i want to make sure we don't fumble at the 1 yard line here. keep politics out of this. >> do you think that folks on both sides, whether it be the

biden camp and the trump camp dial it back. >> i would like politicians from all sides to stay out of it, not get involved, not do political meddling and really let the science drive the timeline. >> you know dr. jha was clear. he said everybody involved in the vaccine process, including the white house, has done an outstanding job on vaccines. those are his words. now he says we could have a vaccine by october. maybe november or december, he's thinking later in the year after the election. even when we pass that approval process, dr. jha says rolling this out to most americans who want to get a vaccine could go well into next year. even the summer. >> but i find dr. jha very encouraging. i think he always speaks his mind. i think he speaks very fairly. i like what he said. the vaccine has been done with integrity and let both sides dial it back. always good to hear from him. david, good to hear from you, too, wherever you are. thank you very much. the protests that have rocked portland for 102 straight

days are spreading to other parts of oregon. more than 100 supporters of president trump appeared last night in salem. that's about 45 miles from portland. they faced off against a small number of black lives matter supporters. the confrontation got a little heated. lilia luciano is outside the state capitol where the two sides scuffled last night. i see it got a little dicey. what are you hearing from those rallygoers now? >> the supporters of the president that i heard from said they showed up here at the capitol to protect the building from people they call antifa. there was a standoff, and then violence. video from monday afternoon shows several trump supporters chasing down a black lives matter protester in salem. shooting him with bead balls and tackling him. that protester, eddie coleman, spoke to "the new york times." >> when i stood my ground, finally, one of them pushed me to the ground and hit my face

repeatedly. >> reporter: we spoke to people who claim the apparent attacks were instigated by members of antifa, which is not a formal organization, but an anti-fascist ideology. >> i feel that it's absolutely critical that we stand our grand and say that we won't be ran off by violent insurrectionists. >> reporter: it came after a peaceful pro-trump rally in nearby oregon city. some attendees displayed blue lives matter flags. others with "don't tread on me." a revolutionary war message now associated with far right rhetoric. >> we're done remaining silent in the united states of america. >> reporter: from there a smaller group headed to the state capitol building. those supporters appeared to bld members of the proud boys, a far right wing group known for promoting violence. several people openly carried semiautomatic weapons. >> we can't have people running around burning our cities down with no consequences or anything. >> what's the goal of showing up with your gun? >> protection.

our second amendment right. >> what's the goal? >> you want to -- >> protect everybody else out here. >> everything can't happen. it's just a moment of when. >> the people we spoke to said they were not members of the proud boys and they were within their legal right to carry those weapons. in case you're wondering, police did intervene to stop the attacks, and they also arrested a couple of people. >> lilia, thank you. human rights groups are condemning saudi arabia after it handed down, quote, final verdcts against eight people for the murder of "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi. the vocal critic of the country's crown prince was last seen two years ago entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. five people were sentenced to 20 years in prison. one defendant was handed a ten-year sentence and two others faced seven years behind bars. a u.n. expert who led an independent investigation into the murder called the verdicts a parody of justice and said the masterminds remain free. the cia says crown prince

welcome back to "cbs this morning". a high-profile critic of russian president putin put hhas been a from a medically indues cod ma. alexei navalny felt ill last month. he was taken to germany for treatment. president putin faces new pressure from the international community to investigate. this morning the u.n. human rights chief is demanding russia's full cooperation. charlie d'agata is in london. how is alexei navalny doing at this point? >> reporter: doctors say his condition sim proving. he's responsive. gradually trying to get him off the ventilator. at this point it's too early to

tell what kind of long term damage has been done from what they are describing as a severe poisoning. out of the coma but not out of trouble yet. investigators say beyond all doubt president putin's fiercest opponent is the victim of a chemical nerve agent attack. on board passengers said alexei navalny starting moaning and screaming in pain. he was airlifted to berlin after initial treatment in a russian hospital. german toxicology reports found unequivocal proof he was poisoned with novichok, the same to poison sergei skripal and his daughter in 2018. one of a group of nerve agents developed solely in russian labs says chemical weapons expert hamish de bretton gordon. >> i think the world is really

looking at the russian regime. it has all the hallmarks and operating procedures of russian state sponsored assassination. all just to get this fellow out of the way. >> reporter: the 44-year-old opposition leader has been a thorn in the side of president putin for years. he's been arrested more than a dozen times for organizing anti-putin protests. the kremlin has dismissed allegations of a novichok poisoning as absurd. the agent takes the body by krip technology nervous system. just a tiny amount is enough to kill. >> very quickly you experience shortness of breath because the nerve that control the muscles control your lungs. and it's like drowning, which they say is the worst way to go. >> reporter: hamish de bretton gordon says alexei navalny is lucky to be alive and while he may have escaped with his life one goal is achieved.

south africa has more coronavirus cases than any other country in africa with almost 640,000 cases reported. south african students started returning to school weeks ago but has become a huge challenge for them. many have had to adapt to a whole new way of doing things. >> reporter: south africa is an unequal society. during the hard lockdown thousands of children like these had no learning at all because aflac of access to technology forcing educators to come up

with creative solutions. online learning is all very well if there's good internet in your nairobi. but if you live in a poor township and don't have electricity, it's impossible. so for many students in south africa, going back to school was the only solution. access to resources may differ from cool to school but protocols are the same. temperature checks. masks. hand sanitizing and social distancing. this secondary school in an impoverished rural area took it one step further. every child in this classroom knows education is their only ticket to a better future and they were not going to state pandemic stand in the way of that. while the children were playing during south africa's hard lockdown, these final year students moved in with their

>> reporter: at an elite all girl's school in johannesburg, access to technology has made the physical challenges posed by the pandemic he easier to manage. younger grades rotate between in person and online learning, so is strict social distancing can be maintained in classrooms to accommodate only 15 students at a time. but there are still emotional concerns. >> some of the girls being isolated, not being able to spend time with their friends was really, really difficult. we have had quite a number of parents saying my daughter for the first time in her life is experiencing anxiety or depression. >> reporter: the school psychologist have been offering counselling services but for the most part south africian scholars adapted quickly to school in a covid world. at the beginning of this pandemic there were infection outbreaks in some schools but some health protocols have been

adopted nationwide most schools are managing to keep their children safe from covid. for cbs "this morning," johannesburg. thanks. we're all trying to keep up with all of this that's going on. sometimes people forget the impact that it has on children and it's good to have the ipads and computers but doesn't matter if you don't have wi-fi like some don't have. they so value education. then what it means to be able to socialize with friends is so important. >> she pointed out isolation for some kids is way more exactful than others. >> for adults too. >> absolutely. i think the psychological exact of this is yet to be measured. >> i wonder what teachers think about students moving in. >> new term to boarding school. >> next up vladimir duthiers will bring you up what to watch. the stories you'll be

threats. the tournament player hit a ball out of frustration during sunday's match. the judge fell with a gasp of breath. some fans are targeting her on instagram and accusing her of acting to get him disqualified. yo djokovic asked fans to say nothing to her. he was fined $10,000 for the incident and another $7,500 for skipping the mandatory post-news conference. he's apologized but insists it was an accident. one thing i keep thinking about there are a lot of good things about social media but there are a lot of terrible things where people feel they have the right to attack a stranger just because they don't like the way something went down in a game. >> a stranger who did nothing wrong, by the way.

clearly an accident but clearly was not okay. so the fact that now she's the one who is getting hammered makes no sense. i love he's come to her defense anticipate i love his apology he'll take this moment to grow as a player and human being. >> this happened because there's a very strict rule about this. not because of what the woman did, she just got hurt. but the fan reaction is excessive. can i say one good piece of good news about the u.s. open. there are three mothers in the quarterfinals of the women's first time ever led by serena williams. >> wow. >> three moms. >> serena is a mom for sure. >> tell us about this refund for a college out in the uk. >> that's right. >> i was thinking of harry potter. >> prince harry. >> we know what you think. >> be careful for those mentors.

prince harry and his wife meghan officially repaid british taxpayers $3.2 million, the cost of renovating their former home outside of london. part of a commitment the duke and duchess made after announcing they are giving up their royal duties. the renovations on the cottage were criticized by some british media as too expensive. harry meghan and son archie now living in california. they will stay at the cottage when they visit. good deal to payback the taxpayers for those renovation and doing it out of their own pocket and not something the queen asked them to do. >> they were very happy to do it. about to start a new chapter. a win-win. you got something about a perfect match, you say? >> yes. on this good note here. young michigan boy instantly bonded with a bog that's just

like him. that's bentley with his puppy. both were born with a cleft lip. the animal shelter says it doesn't see many puppies with a cleft palate. she's happy to see her boy isn't alone. >> look at that. >> that's an instant attraction right there. >> that's such a great bonding. thank you. ahead how schools are changing their relationship with law enforcement so troubled kids can get help instead of being arrested. stay with us. climate change is the fight of our generation. the biggest obstacle right now is that we're running out of time. amazon now has a goal to be net zero carbon by 2040. we don't really know exactly how we are going to get there. it's going to be pretty hard. but one way or another we're going to reduce our carbon footprint to net zero. i want my son to know that i tried my hardest to make things better for his generation.

wildfires in the west are turning towns into ruins. this wildfire is simply growing out of control and there are not enough firefighters to hold it back. >> fires burning out of control, i've never seen fires burn quite as fast. we have smoke, we have dust, all coming together and feeding into a snowstorm. supporters of the president i heard from said they showed up at the capitol to protect the building from people they call antifa. there was a standoff and then violence. >> it has gone incredibly fast, but it's been done with integrity. >> once we pass that approval process dr. jha says rolling it out to americans who want a vaccine could go well into next year. porter taking it home oh, and he'll hammer it home! >> the l.a. clippers rallied mind in the fourth quarter to avoid a second straight playoff loss to the nuggets. >> kawhi leonard is doing it all. my goodness! >> looks like he blocked it with one of those fingers.

a baseball glove on. >> he blocked it with his middle finger, you see that? that is spectacular. >> a strong middle finger he's got. i watched a lot of basketball over the weekend. basketball is so good. you forget the crowd isn't there. >> they've done an amazing job. >> yes and more to come. this is where we begin today on "cbs this morning," historic wildfires burning out of control in california at least a dozen other states in the west. the creek fire in sierra national forest has grown to more than 135,000 acres, yikes, and is still zero percent contained. think about that for a second. military helicopters could not evacuate at least 50 hikers and campers trapped near fresno last night because of all that thick smoke. they'll try again this morning. the fires in southern california forced the forest service to close all eight national forests

in the region. campgrounds are also closed throughout the state. another wildfire in eastern washington yesterday devastated the little town of malden, where about 300 people live. the local sheriff says 80% of the homes there were destroyed and take a look at these fast-moving flames in utah. fema approved federal funds to help fight the ether hollow fire, quickly grew to more than 1,000 acres, forcing some people out of their homes. election day is eight weeks from today and two major candidates for president spent labor day taking shots at one another with the coronavirus a big point of contention. democratic nominee joe biden was in the swing state of pennsylvania, president trump spoke to reporters from the white house north portico. it's believed to be one of the few times a sitting president has done that. each accuse the other of politicizing the development of a covid vaccine. >> he said so many things that aren't true. i'm worried if we do have a

really good vaccine people will be reluctant to take it. >> biden and his very liberal running mate should immediately apologize for the reckless anti-vaccine rhetoric that they are talking right now, talking about endangering lives and it undermines science. >> the latest cbs news poll finds the majority of americans are skeptical about a vaccine. 65% say if one became available this year, they'd consider it rushed and 58% say they would consider getting one, but would wait to see what happens. now toment so some of the your children might see as they head back to school. many protesters demanding police reform have drawn attention to the relationship between police and the schools. more than 40% of public schools in 2016 had a school resource officer who was also a sworn law enforcement officer. in our school matters series,

jerika duncan looks at one big city looking at arresting juveniles and saying this one is working. >> reporter: when 6-year-old kya threw a tantrum in class last year she was arrested by orlando police. this video from new mexico shows a police officer tasing a special education student last year. >> get on the ground! >> reporter: and a sheriffs office in north carolina fired a school resource officer last december who was seen on surveillance video body slamming an 11-year-old student, a boy who weighs just 70 pounds. according to the u.s. department of justice, black children represent 35% of juveniles arrested, despite only making up 15% of the youth population. >> i made a mistake, just by doing something bad. >> reporter: dimitri tang a high school senior in philadelphia says that mistake almost cost him his future. >> the cops took me in, i thought i was going to get

arrested, because that's how it goes sometimes. >> reporter: the school district paired him with a social worker instead of filing charges against him for bringing a pocket knife to school. >> taught me how to stay out of trouble, positive to cope with things, and gave me motivation and directed me to the future. >> reporter: just a few years earlier, the philadelphia school district may have treated tang very differently. during the 2013-2014 school year, nearly 1,600 children were arrested for things such as fighting and bringing knives or mace to school. but a diversion program started the following school year by school safety chief and former philadelphia police deputy commissioner kevin bethel, helped to change all of that. there's been a lot of talk about defunding the police, and even school districts, but we know you guys have school safety officers. explain the difference. >> school safety officers are not sworn philadelphia police officers. they do not have the power to

make arrests. >> reporter: these days, the numbers have dropped drumt clay. fewer than 260 arrests last year and 84% decrease from 2014. >> we partner with department of human services who run the juvenile program for the juvenile justice programming. >> reporter: instead of aresting a child for minor offenses the school sends a social worker to the student's home. >> oftentimes grandmothers raising grandchildren by themselves and struggling, kids with no heat, no gas. >> reporter: once you're able to identify the issues, how does that change the behavior and the end result? >> i've been in this space law enforcement 35 years and i can't tell you how rewarding it has been in my life for the if, time feel like i'm giving service. you really start to rebuild a lot of these young people. >> reporter: mo kennedy executive director of the national association of school resource officers and agrees with some aspects of bethel's approach. >> police shouldn't be in schools to police. we should be in schools to do

community-based policing and that's a whole different thing. >> reporter: kennedy believes properly trained police officers have a place in schools, especially in the event of a school shooting. >> good sros want to be the protector of that community. >> reporter: but senator chris murphy of connecticut and representative presley of massachusetts believe police do not belong in schools. >> police in schools with students of color and putting these kids on a pathway to the criminal justice system. >> reporter: they introduced the counseling not criminalization in schools act, it would establish a $2.5 billion grant program for schools to replace law enforcement officials with those who provide services that support mental health. >> we need to be making investments in social/emotional wellness supports and restorative justice practices. it's a deficit of understanding, a deficit of empathy. >> reporter: do you think your life would have been different had you been arrested that day? >> yes.

it was going to be very different. when you reach out to youth like me, they really like give a spark of hope. >> reporter: according to the aclu out of the 56 million students in this country, 14 million of them go to schools where there's a police officer on site, but there's no counselor, no nurse, no psychologist or even social worker. this year, districts like denver, minneapolis and oakland have severed ties with their police departments following the death of george floyd. oakland even naming their resolution after him. >> that sums it up. there's really an opportunity here for police officers to improve their relationship with their communities and also to put kids on a path not toward the criminal justice system. >> the schools have to understand the kids committing technically some sort of an offense there's a psychological reason behind it as the gentleman before pointed out. grandmother struggling to take care of a grandchild and no

psychologist, no counselor. >> or a nurse. >> there's no interim step. >> i like dimitri chang. i thought he was a walking talking billboard for how this program could work and so many times kids just need somebody to understand that somebody will talk to them. it's also true with a lot of adults, too. sometimes they shouldn't be arre arrested, they need help. i love that they're starting this early. nicely done. ahead we'll talk to former fbi agent peter strzok dismissed from the mueller investigation. why the new book includes the phrase "the threat o

collusion between russia and the 2016 trump campaign. peter strzok said i don't feel i have the opening about keeping quiet about the clear and present danger that i know the trump administration poses to our national security. peter strzok was fired after text messages showed he criticized then candidate trump. the white house says the book is full of lies and quote isn't worth the paper it is printed on and peter strzok joins us now. thank you for being here. your book is highly-anticipated is an unstatement. there's a very big claim at the center of it and that is that the president of the united states is compromised. unable to put the country's interest above his own. what is your best evidence of that charge? >> well, good morning. it's great to be here. look, i do think the president is compromised. i spent over two decades recruiting spies and supervising

counter gejs around the world. there's no one who does that kind of work who does not believe the president is compromised. when you ask that question, when you look at that fact you have to wonder how deep is that compromise and what he would or would not do to protect his own interest. >> i want to interrupt you that's an assertion that everyone believes this. but what's the evidence? >> absolutely. i think you need look to the president's actions with regard to russia. when it comes to his absolute refusal to respond to the russians placing bounties on the heads of our soldiers in afghanistan, when you look at his statements questioning our commitment to the nato alliance asking whether or not we would come to the mutual aid and defend our allies in europe, when you look at his failure to respond to the poisoning and attempted sas nation of a russian dissident. when you look at his silence when it comes to russia ramming a truck in syria and injuring many of our servicemen you have

to ask yourself why on earth is he doing these actions, allowing these things to occur without speaking out? it makes no sense for american security. >> i hear you saying there's an appearance of him being compromised. when we talk about appearances we have to talk about appearances in your case. in 2016 during your investigation of the trump campaign you sent text messages that i would like to remind our viewers of and also you because you don't recall sending them, you called the president a f-ing idiot. a disaster. at one point in southern virginia you said you can smell all caps, smell the trump supporters. and, of course, most famously you said don't worry he won't be president we'll stop it. i think the question is your trying to stop it now? >> no. look, every agent has their own opinion. i have my own personal opinion as well. every day, though, around the united states, government employees walk into their jobs and they leave their political

opinions at the door. they do their job like i did my job objectively, independently and in pursuit of the truth. >> if you're not giving the president the benefit of the doubt for what appears to be problems on his regard, why should the public give the benefit of the doubt when these are very problematic text messages. >> because multiple people have looked at those. there's two exhaustive inspector general investigations. investigations from the u.s. attorney around the department of justice. there have been investigations by congress on both house to and senate side. all of them have concluded that never once did improper political considerations play a role in anything i did or that the team did. all of these investigations were absolutely done properly. . it to move on to something in the news right now but i'll point out the inspector general's report couldn't rule out the indication of bias was the phrase used. no documentary evidence of that bias, no explicit plan but there were indications.

>> you need to note as well that the inspector general found absolutely no evidence of any kind that improper political considerations played a role. >> documentary evidence. i want to move on to the michael flynn case because that's in the news. the justice department is trying to dismiss charges against former national security adviser flynn. you went to the white house to interview him back in 2017. the attorney general is saying what you did is set up a quote perjury trap. did you do that, sir? >> not at all. that's a ludicrous accusation. the national security adviser of the united states had discussions with the russian ambassador about lessening russian response to those sanctions well before the trump administration was sworn in. we get one president at a time in this country and what flynn did and what the fbi was trying to do to understand what he had done was absolutely legitimate, was absolutely justified. >> quickly, two more point. first is what happened to the

original interview notes from that flynn interview you conducted in 2017? >> like every interview i had done went into one envelope, attached to the file provided to both the department of justice, to the special counsel and to flynn's attorneys. >> no one has ever seen them according to flynn's attorneys. i want to talk about the investigation into, the investigation into the investigators. attorney general barr launched it. he hand-picked john durham to look into it. we're supposed to hear before the election before november. you're at the center of it. have you been interviewed. >> i have not. >> are you a target or a witness? >> i'm certainly done nothing wrong so i'm not worried about whatever he may find. if he finds the truth i'm not worried. >> do you expect additional indictment? >> with regard to government employees working on the case? not at all. >> unfortunately we have to go. people will have their opinions. we appreciate you being here to answer questions.

in osaka, japan from back in june of 2016. avicci's father spoke with sirius xm ahead of the event. >> the music business you know it, it absorbs you. such a success he went through. if all the time he spent traveling, making music and at that time he was really, you know, happy doing it, even if it was up and down. >> i had a chance to speak with tim bergling's father last year. one thing he talked about in the aftermath of all of this he's really committed to encouraging tim's fans, you know, and all young people to under they are not alone. so much of this is about understanding there are people who can help you and reach out if you're feeling the way his son did. >> i whsh you had the conversation with him and i admired he could speak when he was in so much pain that he

really does want to help people. he's still speaking. >> tony? >> i am talking about a leading realtor who says that florida is seeing a big boom in population because of the coronavirus. nearly 1,000 people moved to florida every day according to the publisher of the 2020 miami report. beach county reports 268% increase in single family homes and selling big more than a million dollars. real estate brokers say many people are moving to florida from northern cities like new york looking for more space, sun, quarantine easily, lower taxes. as a former floridian, i do want to point out a couple of things. bring your sun tan lotion and number two when you get to florida they will tell you those giant insekts acts are palmetto. we have a different word up north. >> what are they? >> i don't want to say the word. >> palmetto bugs sounds better.

there's something about the warm weather. i was at a friend's house over the weekend. they have this stuff called grass where you can walk outside and put your feet in grass. i can't tell you what that does. florida doesn't southern bad to me. i can do without the pal metto bugs. a new tick kok video shows a creative way to put on your jeans. a man whips off a swing and jumps into his jeans and coats away. i don't under that dog butt scoop. i wouldn't recommend that. i do think it's interesting. get off the swing and nail it does. this is tik tok. racked up 7.2 million views. this mr. clean does all sorts of cool stuff. he does flips. >> i would love to see the outtakes. >> good job mr. clean. netflix has seen months of growth as more people seek home

entertainment during the pandemic. in its second quarter the company says it added more than 10 million subscribers globally and made more than $6 billion in revenue. now the company's founder reed hastings has a new book out, "no rules rules." it's about what he says is an unorthodox company culture leading to greater success. reed hastings, good morning, thanks for being with us. >> thank you very much. >> your book is based on a 127 slide powerpoint that you put together back in 2009 to sort of lay out your company's culture, but one of the things that you point out is that the aim of the culture is to give your employees freedom like avoiding rules, which wuld seem to be a contradiction when you have a 127 point slide presentation. how do you explain that? >> takes a lot of slides to talk

about freedom, and, you know, we've had such success at trying to create shows and films that people are going to love and a lot of that is because we give our employees freedom. >> what do you mean when you say freedom? >> i mean that people get to make decisions throughout the company. but people get to decide let's commission this show, i don't have to get five levels of approval or let's do this feature, i don't need to get five levels of approval. he we encourage people throughout the company to make decisions. >> you also talk about transparency and communication. >> absolutely. i mean people are going to make decisions then you want to give them a lot of information. we call it context and so what the book really does is go through from an organizational view how do you set things up so you can have a lot of freedom without having chaos. >> how do you do that? >> you got to buy the book,

anthony. >> oh, come on. >> it's our internal -- it's really aimed at organizations who are trying to have employees be excited about what's going on in their company and in our case that's helped us move from dvds that we were big in a decade ago to being popular and successful in film and television. >> you write that netflix's success is based on having a star in every position. by using what you call the keeper test. explain what that is. >> sure. we're like a professional sports team and if you're going to win a championship in professional sports you have to have amazing player in every position. and so we push our managers to think about do they have the right people, and by that we say the keeper test. would they work to keep the person if that person were going to another company. >> does that breed a content --

does that breed a culture of fear? some people suggest it might. >> you know, there are pockets of that. but not generally. think of great athletes. they can get injured at any time but they don't focus on the fear, they focus on the joy, the fun, the excel lens, the competition, the winning. >> you released 2700 hours of original content last year, almost double what did you the year before. but production has been shutdown. it's now restarted, starting gradually. how are you going to keep the flow of content in the current climate? >> well, the stuff we're working on now and producing now will be on next year and we're able to produce a little bit in the u.s. but canada we're able to produce in. europe. asia. so we got a great lineup for next year. >> what about safety precautions on the production sets?

>> yeah. they are extensive as you would imagine. testing when you enter, so lots of protocols to keep people safe. there's a struggle. this covid is a tough situation, but we're doing enough testing to make people feel safe and to make sure that we can, you know, produce great content where, you know, you don't notice that there's any covid. >> as we reported on this broadcast, you and your wife patty announced an extraordinary $120 million contribution to support scholarships at historically black colleges and universities. yet your website lists only two people of color between your company's upper ranks. do you have a plan to diversify netflix? >> so our website for executives lists about 20 people, and the senior executives and five of them are leaders of color. so we're about 25% leaders of

color and about 50% women, 50% men. it's on the website under directors and officers. >> so are you satisfied with the diversification you have then? >> we're make great progress compared to where we were three years ago. but really diversity is about having such curiosity about the many different stories we have. the more diversity we have the more interesting the stories we tell are. >> reed hastings thank you very much. the book is "no rules rules" and it's on sale today. >> ahead author brene brown well tell us why she wrote the book it was just a get together with friends. no big deal.

>> your imperfect and wired for struggle but you're worthy of loving and belonging. >> yes you are. ten years since best author brene brown has given that talk which has been viewed 50 million times. it's celebrating the 10th anniversary of her best selling book called "the gifts of imperfection." let go of who you think you should be and embrace who you are. she's releasing a special

edition with a new preface on how people can live a whole hearted life during these challenging times. brene brown joins us this morning. good to see you. i love the phrase -- >> nice to see few. >> i love the phrase whole hearted life. i read it over the weekend. i have to say the words stand up. they still hold today. what have you learned in the last ten years. i thought it was interesting you said we all have a journey of head work and heart work. you did the head work but didn't feel you did the heart work. what did you learn? >> i think the biggest two learnings for me in the past decade have been one, taking the work in this book and putting it into practice is way more difficult than i thought. and two, it is actually way more worth it than i thought. so it is -- you know, it's tough to wake up every morning especially in this world and make a commitment to not betray yourself or other people, not to

disappoint them, not to make them angry, to take a stand that's different. that's a hard daily practice. and if it's not a daily practice it doesn't mean anything. >> you say whole hearted living isn't just one thing it's a process. what hearted living, courage, compassion and connection. you say it's a process not just one thing one time. >> i think, you know, this was the first time that my data led me to a catastrophe of my own life and so i thought if you knew how these things worked it would be enough. but what we know is not enough. it's who we are and how we show up. so it's great that you know these things. are practicing them every day especially when you're backed into an emotional corner. these are not to-do list items which i'm fond of checking off in my life. these are practices. and sometimes we're great and

sometimes we just blow it. you have to get up and do it again. >> last time you were here the pandemic was starting and i wrote down what you said. we're all learning how to sew into a new normal while grieving the loss of normal. now you say we're all getting through this and you hope we don't go back to normal. what do you mean? >> i think the combination, you know, everyone said in the beginning that the pandemic, the virus doesn't discriminate and i thought yeah the virus doesn't discriminate but americans discriminate. and so what we have seen over the past six months is the overrepresentation in sick people and dying people and communities around race and poverty. and i think the combination of the pandemic with a long overdue and ongoing racial reckoning, i don't want to go back to the way it was. i think most people don't.

we want something better. and we deserve something better. and any kind of pandemic or crisis really highlights the fault lines in a country, a family, a community, and we need to build for what's next not build back for where we were because where we were served a few of us at the expense of others. >> yeah. i heard you say i'm not here to be right i'm here to get it right. >> yeah. that's my personal motto, especially when i'm having difficult conversations around race, gender, orientation, work. you know, even our hard wiring says hey listen when you're pushed to the edge and you feel accused or you feel put down, fight back. and so the thing i try to tell myself as a hack is look i'm not here to be right, prove to be right, i'm here to get it right. be quiet, let others lead,

learn. >> so many beautiful things about you but part of it is you're so open and so sharing about your life. you write in the book about seeing a therapist. i thought brene brown go goes to a therapist. people go to you for therapy. you said you learn more than you teach. >> nobody comes to me for therapy. i'm not a therapist. i train with a bunch of people that went that route and i went research route. yes hive had a therapist. there are two camps of people, people who are struggling and don't get help and people who are struggling and do get help. i want to be struggling and get help camp. we were never meant to do this alone. we're not wired that way. we're supposed to lean into each other. >> congratulation. this time you get to do the audible of this book. you get to do the audio.

last time they thought we should gate real reader. >> that was exciting. i never read it out loud and i remember reading it and one of the thing that our community said to us is give us a hard back, read the audio book, do not change the story, just update the front or something. so telling these stories, especially the parenting struggles and the struggles in my marriage, it's so funny because the kids are ten years older but the struggles are better but they are still there. i mean, you know, perfection dies hard. >> yep. it really does. thank you for being a great researcherer and a great story tellerer and thank you for sharing. thank you for sharing. >> thanks for having me. >> the tenth anniversary edition of "the gifts of imperfection" is available today. we'll be right back.
