would leave me. she'd be like, what? you're doing what? >> 3, 2, 1, zero, ignition. >> spacexlaunched four restaurants. it's the first taxi flight for nasa by a private company. >> not even gravity contains humanity. >> space x founder elon musk was not present after revealing he most likely has a moderate case of covid-19. >> how about this little boy who is racking up views with his version of -- >> the long-awaited masters has a long-awaited champion. >> dustin johnson becomes the first golfer to hit 20 under in the masters. >> you always dream about being a masters champion. >> it's okay. >> it's hard to talk. >> and the cardinals flying high after an unbelievable play. down by four with seconds left -- >> 7 second. 6 seconds.

murray. heaves it down field. it is caught! it is caught! deandre hopkins, miraculous! it's murray magic! >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." murray magic with capital letters, exclamation point. i was watching because i was waiting for "60 minutes." i didn't think that was possible to score that way. >> three defenders on him. >> very definition of a hail mary pass. we're going to begin with this. the pandemic is getting worse across the country, but we also have breaking news to tell you about. new hope in the fight against the coronavirus. so as you wake up in the west, we're learning preliminary results show a new coronavirus vaccine from moderna is 94.5% effective in phase three trials. the company has been partners with the national institutes of health. it's not conclusive but it is very encouraging coming after last week's good news from

pfizer. our chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook is following this story. >> the moderna news was eagerly anticipated after last week's announcement from pfizer that its covid vaccine was more than 90% effective. moderna hit an even higher mark. yesterday the company president got the results from an independent safety board. >> it took my breath away and i had to catch myself. >> reporter: among 30,000 participants receiving the two-dose mod earn vaccine, there were 95 cases of symptomatic covid. all but five in the placebo arm meaning the vaccine was 94.5% effective. there were no reports of serious side effects. moderna shared other hopeful news. all 11 cases of severe covid illness were in the placebo group. both the moderna and pfizer vaccines target the protein. messenger rna stimulates cells to produce harmless versions of

that spike protein triggering an immune response to the virus. no current vaccine uses this technology which is built on decades of research at the nih and elsewhere. >> i'm optimistic that everybody who wants a vaccine will have access to one by april or may of next year. >> the government says both vaccines will be free and both require two doses. moderna says 28 days between shots. pfizer three weeks. moderna's version has one major advantage. it can be transported and stored in standard freezers and refrigerators instead of the ultra cold temperatures required by the pfizer version. that should simplify vaccine distribution and administration. >> we believe our vaccine will be districted in existing infrastructure. we hope that means it will be made available like in local doctor's offices that is going to be where people need it most. >> moderna expects to request emergency use authorization from the fda within a few weeks. the company stes will have 20 million doses ready for use in

the united states by the end of the year and another 40 million to 50 million doses per month in 2021. anthony? >> dr. jon lapook, thank you. the vaccine news comes as a desperate time. the united states has added around a million new cases of the virus in less than a week. that brings the national total above 11 million as daily cases rise in 49 states across the country. >> and with so many cases in such a short time, many hospitals are on the brink of getting overwhelmed. carter evans is in salt lake city where icus are almost full. carter, good morning to you. how much more can hospitals take there? >> well, not much. and that's why doctors and nurses are pleading with people to help them get this virus under control. we spoke with one doctor who says he has patients who still don't believe the pandemic is real. even though they are in the hospital, diagnosed with the virus right now. he says he has seen more suffering in the last month than

he has in his entire career. >> covid cases are pushing utah's hospitals to the brink. and things are almost certainly going to get worse, according to dr. brandon webb. >> it's like watching a slow-motion train wreck. you know what's coming and it look s horrible. >> that's the problem with the mathematics of this. we know what's coming. we're seeing so many cases day over day that, unless definitive steps are taken, exceeding capacity say mathematical inevitability. >> many front line workers are already stretched thin by work that's physically exhausting and emotional lly draining. like nurse katrina. >> families are always looking for hope but sometimes there's just not a lot of hope to give them. >> reporter: grim scenes continue to unfold in el paso, texas, where county inmates were leading bodies into mobile morgue trucks over the weekend. the county judge there says

using inmate label indicates the level of staff shortages. more than 200 people have died in that city from covid in the last month. with cases and hospitalizations smashing record, at least 27 states have imposed new coronavirus restrictions on businesses and gatherings in the last two weeks. on sunday in michigan, which saw at least 496 deaths from covid last week, the governor announced a three-week freeze on indoor dining and in-person learning for high school and college students. >> if we don't take aggressive action right now, we could soon see 1,000 deaths per week here in michigan. >> reporter: without more targeted restrictions, hospital systems nationwide could be just weeks away from their breaking point, according to infectious disease expert michael osterholm. >> my worst sphere whfear is wh happen in other countries where people were dying on the streets. people were literally dying in

the emergency room of hospitals just waiting to be seen. that's going to start happening and we'll see the breadth and depth of this tragedy. >> the economic fallout from the pandemic is still an issue. take a look at this line at a food bank outside of dallas. a line of cars spilling out onto the freeway as food for some 25,000 people was distributed over the weekend. organizers say this was their largest food giveaway ever. >> stunning pictures there, carter. thank you very much. we're joined by dr. ashish jha, dean of brown university school of public health. good morning. thanks for being with us again. as we just heard, moderna's vaccine was found to be nearly 95% effective and appears to be more easily transportable than the pfizer vaccine. what do you think that means for the months ahead here? >> yeah, good morning. and thank you for having me on.

this is very good news. we are entering the hardest time of the pandemic. i think the next two, three months are going to be awful across the country. but what the pfizer vaccine and the moderna vaccine do is give us hope that in a few months this will really start turning around. the light at the end of the tunnel just got a little bit brighter. >> there are any logistical challenges that concern you about distributing the vaccine? >> there are. first, it's true the moderna vaccine is a little easier to transport. there's still a lot of complicated issues. we've got to get tens of millions of vaccines out to states, pharmacies, doctors' offices. that means a lot of planning. there has not been a lot of that planning happening out of the federal government right now. there's been. but we need a lot more of that. and we need to hand that off to the biden team who has to pick it up and run with it. there's a lot of logistical challenges in front of us. >> how quickly do you think this could get us back to something even close to normal?

>> yeah, i think we're looking at -- look, even if we have 10 or 20 million people getting vaccinated over the next few months, until we get to 50%, 60% of the american population vaccinated, and that's a vast case scenario, april, may, i think we're still some ways away from something that will be the new normal. >> as you said, the next few months look really quite dire. how much worse do you think this can get, and what do we need to do? >> so, unfortunately, based on all the numbers i am seeing as of today or as of yesterday, it is going to get meaningfully worse than we are in now. the bottom line is hospitals are at capacity and they are still about to get a flood of new patients that's going to be even bigger wave of patients. so i'm very worried about the next month. we know what we need to do. everybody needs to wear a mask. avoid any kind of indoor gathering, and states have to do more on testing. if we can help states do that with some money from the federal

government, i do think we can stop this from getting dramatically worse. but some of it is already built in. >> michigan instituted a three-week pause on indoor dining and in-person learning. is that enough or something that needs to be wide spread? >> i think every state should be following michigan's lead right now. michigan is really doing what is absolutely essential. and it's amazing to me that other states are not following. i suspect that this week, we are going to see a lot of other states step up and essentially put in very similar policies because we're so behind the 8 ball that we've got to get going. >> dr. ashish jha, thank you for being with us this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you. in cbs news is now projecting the winner of all 50 states in the presidential election and despite joe biden's lead, 306 to 232 in electoral college votes, president trump still will not concede. last night, the president tweeted, i won the election, even though he's behind by more than 4.5 million votes.

twitter flagged trump's claim noting official sources called this election differently. a day earlier, mr. trump saluted a rally from his motorcade as thousands of trump supporters claimed election fraud. again, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and none of the president's lawsuits have the potential to change the results, but here we are. weijia jiang is at the white house. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, tony. and good morning to everybody. president trump's state of denial is delaying the transfer of resources and information. joe biden's chief of staff said their scientific advisers are meeting with vaccinemakers in the coming days but said they should also be meeting with current government health officials. something the white house tells cbs news is not happening. as president trump played golf at his club in virginia on sunday, two of the top doctors on the coronavirus task force spoke publicly about the importance of working with the biden team. >> this is not a political

issue. this is an issue of public health and saving american lives. >> it's almost like passing the baton in a race. you don't want to stop. and then give it to somebody. you want to just essentially keep going. and that's what transition is. >> reporter: president-elect joe biden's chief of staff said they need to learn more about implementing a vaccine. >> our experts need to talk to those people as soon as possible so nothing drops in this change of power we're going to have on january 20th. >> reporter: but the white house said details about a vaccine are already available on the cdc website and said there are no plans for the task force to meet with biden's team. the west wing staff appears to be taking cues from the president who, for the first time ever, seemed to acknowledge he lost the election tweeting, he won because the election was rigged. but mr. trump quickly backpedaled, declaring he wasn't conceding. there is no evidence the election was rigged. the campaign has filed or publicly backed nearly 20

lawsuits with little success. in pennsylvania, on sunday, the legal team dropped a major portion of its federal lawsuit over mail-in ballots. even a win in this case would not change the results. still, president trump's baseless claims of fraud are fueling his supporters. mr. trump rode through the crowds as thousands marched through the streets of washington, d.c., on saturday. >> we are the majority. >> reporter: while the protests were largely peaceful, as the night wore on, fights broke out between trump supporters and counterprotesters. d.c. police made 21 arrests and four police offices were injured while responding to the clashes. president trump plans to end his first term with a crackdown on china. cbs news has learned that over the next few weeks, the administration promises to take what it calls historic actions

to protect u.s. interests like restricting trade and imposing more sanctions. gayle? >> weijia, thank you very much. this morning, we are sharing former president barack obama's first interview since president-elect biden won the election. he talks to us about his deep concerns over this country's political divide after americans went to the polls. his long-awaited memoir "a promised land" comes out tomorrow. we sat down with mr. obama for an interview that aired on "cbs sunday morning." >> 72 million people voted for donald trump. what does that say to you about the state of this country? >> well, what it says is that we are still deeply divided. and what it says is that the power of that alternative world view that's presented in the media those voters consume has a lot of pull. >> are you worried about that? >> yes. because it's very hard for our democracy to function if we are

operating on just completely different sets of facts. and we're seeing that right now with respect to the election. we can't cooperate. we can't make good decisions. we can't function like a team. and so one of my biggest worries about our democracy going forward is, how do we get back to a common base line of facts. you and i can have a disagreement about climate change. or about the criminal justice system. or about taxes. but if you deny that the temperature on this planet is getting warmer, just say it's just not true, i don't mind you saying, look, yeah, it's bad, but there's not much we can do about it or our economic growth is more important. you can't deny the facts. and my hope is that we can find mechanisms whereby the truth, once again, is the base line around which we have political

arguments. >> i know we keep talking about the facts. and you look at weijia's piece. so shaken by weijia's piece. the way that the people are protesting in the streets and the deep divide, what is happening in the country, and how it's being fueled is very, very scary. >> well, especially when we have a lot of bigger things to worry about right now. >> we should all be afraid about what's happening to this country. that's a lot what president obama was saying. we'll have more of our conversation with former president barack obama in our next hour, including his take on racism in america. it seems to be alive and well, and how his relationship with michelle obama changed after he weather.

much more news ahead. more than 82,000 officially blame boy scouts of america for abuse. we'll tell you one of the horrifying stories. and talk to a hiker whose heart stopped 45 minutes after

welcome back to "cbs this morning." a staggering number of people made sexual abuse claims against boy scouts of america ahead of today's deadline to come forward. more than 82,000 alleged victims span generations as young as nine years old, as old as 95. the number of accusations is even greater than those against the roman catholic church in the u.s. the boy scouts filed for bankruptcy protection before settling. erin barnett has the story of one who says his nightmare lasted for years. >> he had his hand down my

pants. >> he was just 11 years old when a scout leader first assaulted him during a camp out in alabama. several years later, says another scout leader violently assaulted him when he was around 13 years old. >> he raped me. i can tell you i struggled with drugs and alcohol until i was 32. and it also caused, took a couple of swings at suicide. i was in so much pain. >> gayle one of thousands accusing boy scouts of america of sexual abuse. >> this may be the largest child sexual abuse scandal in certainly america and maybe the world. >> michael foul represents over a thousand former boy scouts. >> the problem, it was not a few bad apples, it wasn't a number of mistakes, but obviously a systemic failure on the part of the boy scouts from top on down. >> the organization says it intends to set up a victim's

compensation fund and said in a statement, we are heartbroken we cannot undo their pain, adding they are committed to working as expeditiously as possible to provide survivors of abuse with equitable compensation. >> if we can somehow make the price the boy scouts pay so incredibly painful that systemic changes can happen that will ensure it never happens to anyone else, i think all 80,000 of us would settle for that. >> he and the other attorneys we spoke with expect to hear from more former scouts, each of them with their own painful stories before the end of the day. today is the filing deadline. outside advisers will then review the 82,000 plus allegations. tony, that process alone of just looking at all these claims could take years. >> thank you very much.

a hiker that got lost in mount rainier national park in washington state is on the mend after being brought back to life in what his doctors call miraculo miraculous recovery. he was found unconscious, was disoriented in freezing whiteout conditions. he and the team that saved him spoke to lead national correspondent david begnaud. >> reporter: michael is the kind of guy that hikes just about every week, a passion he turned to to overcome drug addiction that nearly killed him. >> used to be a very unhealthy, sickly man. i got into hiking, changed my life-style. >> reporter: he was exploring mount rainier national park november 7th when he got caught in freezing whiteout conditions. >> did you have time to worry and get scared? >> i was worried and scared, definitely, but i was taking small steps because i couldn't see anything.

>> that was the last thing he remembers. the next day, rescuers found him, unconscious, but with a pulse. a navy helicopter airlifted him to harbor view medical center in seattle where his heart stopped. cpr was performed on him for 45 minutes, as doctors hooked him up to an ecmo machine which temporarily takes over heart and lung function adding oxygen, removing carbon dioxide from a patient's blood. >> went into cardiac arrest, usually when people are this sick, it is not reversible, but since we could use this technology we could start his heart back up. >> after two days, she called out to michael and he opened his eyes. i was like oh, crap. i said michael, are you with me? he turned and looked at me, nodded his head like of course i am with you, why would you ask

preliminary results show a new coronavirus from moderna is 94.5% effective. >> the company says it will have 20 million doses ready for use in the united states by end of the year, another 40 to 50 million doses available per month in 2021. >> how quickly could this get us back to something close to normal? >> before we get to 50, 60% vaccinated, we are some ways away. >> one doctor has patients in the hospital who tested positive for the virus, still don't believe the pandemic is real. he says he has seen more human suffering in the last month than he has in his entire career. joe biden's chief of staff says their stcientific advisers are meeting in the current days but should be meeting with current health officials. >> lewis hamilton didn't need to win the race to force a second world title but did anyway.

he is top in the record books. world championship record. lewis hamilton wins the turkish grand prix, seven time champion of the world. >> seven time champion of the world. he is going to be there tomorrow, too. >> yes. i was going to say, i don't know anything about racing, i have to learn. >> i didn't either until i started to follow him. it is all in the tires and the speed and the way they know the track. he loves to race in the rain. he's awesome. >> look forward to the briefing after the show. thank you very much. we're beginning with coronavirus. the u.s. surpassed 11 million coronavirus cases, hospitals are at the breaking point. took one week to go from 10 to 11 million confirmed cases. consider that's more cases in seven days in the united states and all but nine countries have seen worldwide.

hospitalizations at the highest number since the crisis began, 48 states reported increase in average daily hospitalizations over the past week. >> today at least four states are implementing new coronavirus restrictions. city of chicago imposing stay at home advisory we learned good news. preliminary results of the new vaccine 94.5% effective. this comes after pfizer said its vaccine was more than 90% effective. >> joining us now, a member of the president-elect joe biden's new coronavirus advisory board. michael osterholm. he is an epidemiologist, director of center for infectious disease research and policy at the university of minnesota. first on "cbs this morning," esshe is announcing a fund to help families of front line health care workers that lost their lives to covid-19. i will get to that in a second. thanks for being with us.

you said this is the most dangerous time since 1918, pandemic of 1918. where is this trend line taking us and what do we have to do immediately to get this under control? >> well, first of all, great news is what we heard today from moderna, the fact we have a vaccine that not only prevented illness but evidence of severe illness. we have to imagine going to a day in the months ahead where this will be behind us. right now, we are in the most dangerous period as you noted. you know what the numbers are now, what we call exponential growth, case numbers are doubling every few days. and i think between now and well past the holidays, we're going to see a major increase in cases in this country, many parts of the world. >> you have spoken to a handful of governors, what have you recommended they do? >> i think all governors are looking for what to do. they want to base it on science. they understand the economy.

we are really at a disadvantage. if we're going to ask people to suffer for this from an economic standpoint, shutting down their businesses, people being unemployed, city government, state government no longer able to fund many of the essential workers, fire, police, we need economic support to take care of that if we also take care of the pandemic. until we get that, it will be a real challenge for governors to do anything that doesn't cause great conflict within their communities. >> should there be uniform national response do you believe and if so, what should that look like? >> clearly each and every area of the country has a little different picture on what's happening, meaning in some cases the transmission is more in communities of color, other areas, rural america, it is not. but we need a standard set of principles. what are we trying to do. trying to get ourselves through this period to a time when vaccine will end the pandemic as we know it. and right now, we don't have a

standardized set. you're hearing all the governors and mayors are scrambling to find what is the right answer for us, and it would surely help all of them. that's what i am hearing from them if we had a standardized set of recommendations and protocols. >> as we mentioned, you're launching a fund with st. paul and minnesota foundation to support families of health care workers who died of covid-19. tell us about what you're doing. >> well, we have witnessed over the course of this pandemic the most horrible tragic pain of watching health care workers themselves become patients and dying. over 1400 health care workers in this country died from covid-19. not all of them, of course, from work, but many. it disproportionately effected communities of color. they have been there for us to take care of us. we can't make right what's happened but can do something about it. this fund is to help the families, the children, offering college scholarships to children of these fallen heroes, and what we are hoping today is that

america understands the major sacrifices families have made. we'll all get behind and support these families in a way, the least we can do wfor what they'e done for us. >> michael osterholm, thank you so much. for more information on the fund to help families of health care workers, front line families fund.org. >> glad he is doing that. ahead, more interview with former president barack obama, why he believes the affordable care act will survive a supreme court challenge. and issues w

former president barack obama is opening up about his 2008 campaign and time in the white house. he has been looking back while writing his memoir called "a promised land" that comes out

tomorrow. includes blunt accounts of challenges he faced in office. we sat down with president obama for cbs sunday morning. he talked about his decision to run for president, early years of the presidency, and his entrance on the national stage back in 2004 when he was just a state senator from illinois. >> in no other country on earth is my story even possible. >> ted kennedy said to you, you don't choose the time, the time chooses you. >> yeah. >> how did you know it was the time? >> i didn't come from a political family, i didn't come from a wealthy family. i wasn't somebody that wanted to be president from an early age. when it sort of happened that i was in a position to run for president, it was pretty surprising to me, it was certainly surprising to michelle. we were coming out of the democratic national convention in boston and the speech i gave. >> there is not a liberal

america and conservative america, there's the united states of america. >> i think there was this convergence of the message i was delivering, it clicked in the electorate's mind. so by the time i announced, at least what i knew was it wasn't a pipe dream. >> a dream that launched barack obama on the course to make history as the first black president of the united states. >> so help you god. >> so help me god. >> congratulations, mr. president. >> it's a trajectory he outlines in his new memoir, the book offers in sights of a young president with ambition to enact change. more than that, it includes the very candid reflections of a man who sometimes fell short of his own expectations. >> it is in the nature of politics, certainly the presidency, to go through rough patches, times when because of a bone headed mistake an

unforeseen circumstance, a sound but unpopular decision or failure to communicate. the headlines turned sour and the public finds you wanting. >> do you have an example of a bone head mistake you made? >> the one is i am on the campaign trail, trying to make a point when asked why would working class voters vote for the republicans when it is against their economic interest. i say well, look, they have been disappointed, they see the economy shifting under their feet, they feel ignored, so they cling to their guns. it was a classic example of where the intentions of what i had said didn't match up with the words right, but it had consequences because i think despite all of the policies i actually put in place to make sure that those folks felt

heard, it became a barrier for me being able to reach them. >> given the current racial divide in this country, when you look back at your legacy when it comes to people of color, do you feel there's anything more you could have done? >> there's no doubt that there's more i could have done, but i feel like that about just about every issue, the affordable care act, when we passed it. 23 million people have health insurance that didn't have it before, many of those people of color. >> now it is in the supreme court. right now as we speak, are you concerned, worried about that? the trump administration seems to actively want to undo everything that you have done. >> well, you know, i have gotten accustomed to that. turns out that the affordable care act, now it is pretty popular ten years later, everybody says oh, we don't want that to go away, including even some republicans, so i think it will last. >> you do. >> i think we can build on it, make it even better.

when i think about whether it's how much was i able to alleviate systemic racism or tackle climate change, across the board i feel as if i fell short of what i wanted to get done. i had run through a good process with smart people, listened to every point of view before i made a decision, i could always say you know what, i made the best decision i could. >> there were certainly triumphs, including the signature achievement, passing the affordable care act. >> health insurance reform becomes law in the united states of america. >> in fact, it inspired the president to make a personal promise about his own health. >> you talk about that moment where it passed and there's a celebrator party at the white house, but there's a poignant moment with you and beau and a decision you made about smoking. what was that? >> first of all, beau obama who

is certainly more popular than me. >> well, he's very cute. >> he's adorable. so he was a gift from ted kennedy, what you were referring also to be true is that i was still sneaking in cigarettes. i pledged that as soon as i got the affordable care act passed that i would stop mainly because malia was old enough that she noticed, i didn't want to lie to my daughter, i said to myself that's it. >> did you stop? >> i did. i have not had one since. >> president obama is now enjoying life as a private citizen with his wife michelle whose portrait hangs among first ladies in the smithsonian. the couple is open about how their relationship changed after leaving the white house. >> you write that after you left office, you all were able to rediscover, recapture your love. what does that mean, what does that look like?

>> you have a lazy weekend, let's just hang out. part of it is also the girls got older, right? there's the heartbreak of your chicks leaving the nest, but there's also oh, they're not around. well, we can do what we do. >> michelle obama spoke, by the way, over 12 million. is there friendly competition. >> i waved the white flag on that. >> she tells a great story, she said she was home by herself, she made cheese toast, we can ul do that, sat on the steps by herself, savoring that moment. do you have a cheese toast story of your own? >> for me i think it was probably me being in traffic

which hadn't happened for eight years because the presidential motorcade doesn't hit traffic. i'm driving along, in the car, back seat, looking at my ipad or something, and suddenly we stopped. i'm like what's going on? there's a red light next to us, some kids are eating a burrito or something in the back seat. goodness. oh. i am back to life. >> welcome to the world, mr. president. >> i am happy to be back. no doubt about it. >> lot of people are happy he is back. people have been reaching out, saying they forgot, not forgot, but it was reminder about the humanity and intelligence of barack obama and also michelle obama. they talk candidly about the white house and the effect it had on her and their marriage. let's remember when she left office, she was emotional when she said being first lady to all

of us was the greatest honor of her life, and i know that she believes that's true. >> yeah. >> their daughters, too, thoughtful, kind. great human beings. >> i would love to pull up in traffic and see the former president. >> his other human cheese toast moment, being able to go swimming in the ocean without a naval ship watching over you while you're paddlig around. back to reality, sort of, kind of. still traveling with heavy security, of course. you can see more of our interview with president obama in a one hour special that airs tomorrow on bet. the same day "a promised land" drops. >> but it is well written, well done. he really takes you inside the room. >> it is only volume one. coming up. we'll be right back.

miami marlins appointed the first female gm in good morning. i'm len kiese. san francisco health officials are worried about free covid-19 testing sites being overloaded as the infection rate increases. they are asking people with insurance to go to their own doctors instead to get tested. a crash in sonoma county. an suv veered off highway 1 sunday, landing upside down 200 feet below on driftwood beach. the driver was able to climb out and is now at a hospital in santa rosa. squaw valley alpine meadows is about to open after a recent

storm and snowmaking. a drone captured video of machines clearing snow from roads and parking lots while workers got the lifts and trails ready for skiers. good morning from the traffic center. we are still seeing some brake lights this morning especially along the freeway. slow and go conditions in the hayward area. we have a trouble spot on south 880. it looks like it may be blocking lanes. traffic busy on the south and west bound side a bit, also sluggish coming off of the castro valley area. thing a lot better for travel times into the altamonte. we are now at 30 minutes from the red zone to the yellow zone. also east shore freeway still little slow as you work your way into the berkeley area. bay bridge meter lights are on. enjoy the sunshine and mild temperatures today. we are talking 60s and 70s this afternoon but changes by tomorrow. we are looking at a strong cold front pushing across the bay area for tuesday, bringing breezy and rainy conditions tomorrow.

much cooler as well for did you know that geico's whole 15 minutes thing... that came from me. really. my first idea was "in one quarter of an hour, your savings will tower... over you. figuratively speaking." but that's not catchy, is it? that's not going to swim about in your brain. so i thought, what about... 15 minutes. 15 percent. serendipity. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you some stories that are talk of the table this morning. anthony, you first. >> i don't know about you, i needed holiday cheer. i was excited to see the rockefeller center christmas tree has arrived, coming from central new york. 75 foot norway spruce hoisted into place over the weekend. weighs 11 tons. no easy job. there will be a tree lighting ceremony next month with no spectators because of the pandemic. they'll put the lights on first. that's 35,000 lights they put on. sorry, there are no spectators, obviously that makes sense this time of year. this was donated by daddy al's

general store in new york, came from the property of paula nick there who said i didn't realize that tree in my yard not long ago would bring joy to so many people. she said a lot of people need hope. >> people wonder if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to see it or hear it, did it really fall? still calling it the christmas tree -- >> i am going there, even if i'm a block away. >> it will be nice to see it. >> i am with you, anthony, a little hope and cheer is always good. >> what have you got, gayle? > talk about hope and cheer, tyler perry has an inspiring message about hanging in there when he won the people's champion awards at the e people's choice award. an engineer was struggling to find water and almost gave up when he was inches away from success. >> he was four inches away from the water i needed.

why am i telling you all this, why am i talking about digging for water. in this world, we're all digging wells, in our lives digging wells of relationships where we put all this time, effort, energy, sometimes it doesn't give us what we need, put our time and effort in our dreams and business and doesn't give us what we need, what we were after. but if you just keep digging, my god, if you could just hear me now, just keep digging. you may be four inches away from every gift and blessing you ever wanted in your life. had i given up, had i given up when i was homeless, when i was sleeping in my car, when i was hungry, had i given up, people you see on the screen would not be part of my dream. they're people tied into your dream and your destiny and you are worthy of getting to your goal. keep digging. >> keep digging. i love that. tyler perry, thank you. he says make sure everyone meets you at your worth. know what your worth is.

when you meet people, make sure they know you're worthy. the way he tells a long story, love that analogy. that morning, he went to the guy, was going to say forget it, never mind, taking too long, not finding anything. it is a good lesson to keep digging even when you think there's nothing there. the other thing i thought when watching, whose jacket is that. >> i did notice that jacket. >> didn't you? >> i thought that's a cool looking jacket, tyler perry. so keep digging. related to keeping on digging when all seems lost and you will get there, about history made in major league baseball with hiring of the first woman to be general manager of a major league team. kim ng was named new gm of the marlins. she's the first female general manager of any male pro sports team in north america. she has 30 years experience, even though only 51 years old. the baseball commissioner says it sets significant example for

millions of women and girls who love baseball and softball, kim ng joins us from marlins park in miami. good morning to you. congratulations. on one hand, this is a very qualified person, getting a well deserved position. on the other hand, this is a really big deal. you have been in baseball 30 years, started as an intern with the white sox, 21 at the time. you acknowledge it didn't seem likely a woman was going to be a gm in your lifetime, yet here you are. how does it feel? >> it feels amazing. it still really hasn't sunk in, but it is getting there. i'm sure once the press conference is over today, i will be off to the races and in the thick of it. that's when it will really sink in. >> i read you were on a many years, many person text chain with other women who are in executive positions in baseball operation jobs in major league baseball jobs. dozens out there. what was the reaction on the

text when you were announced? >> everyone was so excited. in some ways, disbelief for them as well. i think you know it is a symbol for so many women that are out there just trying to, you know, work their way up to the top, make their way up to the next level. >> so you were recognized as a great manager at the major league baseball level for years, the youngest assistant gm with the yankees in the late '90s when they won world series after world series. usually when a person is the youngest assistant gm in the league, they're going to get a gm job pretty soon after. for you, it took 15 years from the time you first interviewed. what's your explanation for the gap and why do you think it happened now? >> you know, i don't really know. it's been a long road. all i can say is i'm happy it's happened and i look forward to running the marlins, hopefully to a championship. >> do you think gender played a

role in that 15 year gap? >> sure. i would say i had a very good resume for a long time, but just never happened. >> go ahead, then i have a follow-up. >> kim ng, i am bursting out of my skin, i am not even a baseball girl. >> that's what i was going to bring up. >> not even a baseball girl. i was so excited when i heard the news about you. i want to know with closest friends, family, people that love you and you love them, did you have a moment where you screamed and said we did it, i did it? did you have a moment like that? was there champagne, cupcakes? what was it? >> so i went and told my mom and four sisters on the day after it happened. i went out there to visit them and told them i was moving to miami and they were completely perplexed and said why. i said well, this former shortstop made me the next

general manager of the marlins, derek jeter. they all screamed. i'm not a big screamer, but they all screamed. it was a pretty awesome deal. >> we are all screaming for you, honestly. do you feel tremendous pressure because you are who you are or do you think look, i got this, i'm ready to go. >> no, you know, before i got the job, it feels like this 10,000 pound weight went from the left shoulder, now that i've got the job, it now transferred to the right shoulder because whatever i do, i just have to do it well. >> you heard gayle king say she is not a baseball girl. what made you love the game of baseball and what's your plan for bringing more women and girls into the sport in. >> well, first of all i think just my having this position, being more out there, more high profile, i think girls are going to see that and think that the sport is welcoming to them.

i think in terms of what made me love baseball, my dad was a big sports fan, introduced me to everything. for some reason i just loved baseball. i loved the sound of the crack of the ball off the bat, i loved walking into the stadium, as you walk towards the field, seeing the sun shining down on the field. so many things. but it was my dad that really introduced me to the game. >> i read that you started off playing stick ball in queens, not far from where the mets played. somehow you became a yankees fan. some of us will forgive you for that, but so my question is where did your fandom come from? >> you know, i just remember going to yankee stadium for the first time. at the time the yankees were a very good team, it was the late '70s, we had my personal

hero thurman munson, great team players. they were a fun group to watch. it was called the bronx zoo i think. >> yes, it was. another shoutout to derek jeter who i think has great taste, a class act, great taste in wives, teams, and now in hires. did he call you, say kim, are you interested, did you apply for the job? how did that work? >> he called me. he called me must have been three or four weeks ago and said look, i have this opening, would you be interested. and it just went from there. obviously derek and i have a bit of a history. >> you helped negotiate his contract on the yankees, didn't beat him up too bad, maybe you did, he wants you on his team. >> he knows what he is doing! >> he tried, but he is derek.

>> he is derek and you are kim. we are cheering you on. i am very excited about this. thank you so much for taking time to be with us this morning. >> thank you. >> bye. the hit cbs show called "the neighborhood" back for its third season. we'll talk with the star, cedric the entertainer, about how they're addressing serious

the entertainer has been making audiences laugh more than three decades and he is still going strong. appeared in dozens of hit films and shows including the original kings of comedy anbar better shop franchise. cedric the entertainer stars at calvin butler on the series "the neighborhood." this show is hilarious. it explores what happens when a white family from the midwest moves next to a black family in los angeles. in this clip from tonight's season premier, calvin talks with his son after a member of their community becomes a victim of racial injustice. >> i'm angry every time another racist cop kills one of us out there, every time the system fails us. makes me want to burn it all down. but that's not the answer. i mean, what is? because they're not listening to us. >> so what the hell am i

supposed to do? >> you have to fight smart, you have to organize. talk to your people. you have to get them to listen. look, they want you to fight with this. but you got to fight with this. >> so true. cedric the entertainer joins us now. cedric, welcome back. congrats on the third season. let's talk about tonight's episode, i watched it yesterday. it is a comedy show, you took a serious tone and it worked. you were able to infuse comedy into something serious. you said you used a lot of your real life experiences. bravo to you. >> thank you so much. you know, the show creator, jim reynolds, creative producer partner, coming back for season three, thought it was important to talk about some of the big issues happening, be it the pandemic or of course the social injustice that went on through

most of the summer, and we just deemed it was the most important point of view to have a voice in that because we represent a fictional neighborhood in los angeles, but these things were real throughout los angeles during the summer, you know, through the george floyd and brianna taylor, our own cases here in california. we felt it was important to say something, try to do that, we are a 30 minute sitcom. try to make you laugh as well. >> i thought it was interesting the reaction of your neighbors compared to what was happening in your house. i could see a lot of people having this exact conversation you were having with the neighbors. that's what i thought was so genius about what you did. >> yeah. you know, that was the other thing because when you have these kind of uprising, people start to come together, this is something again throughout george floyd, we hadn't seen galvanizing of people to a cause

at least for civil rights or whatever, so it was just very important to try to get that point of view where they had some naivety about what's going on so you can allow one to think about the circumstance, be able to empathize with it. >> we were talking at the table before, how much we all loved sitcoms, and especially now. they seem to be comforting in a certain way. i am wondering how you're approaching this. you're shooting, used to have a live audience, i don't think you have one now. you're also used to standup, love feedback of a live audience. how are you approaching this with everything going on? >> you know, of course, unique time to do anything. all of us who are even really blessed to be able to get back to work, thankful for that part of it alone, you know, the main thing is that we as actors on the stage, we have to follow these protocols, make sure we do the right things just to be at

work, and then it is different. you know, i have been going out on the road in eight months, i don't know what it is to be in front of a live awed yenudiencel be rusty. i will be like oh -- let's try this next. >> cedric, you're also doing a funny video show, i think that's great. to anthony's point, how are you able, you are a professional entertainer, how are you able to maintain humor during this time? i think anthony really hit on something. i found myself laughing at the show and how much i crave that. >> yeah. you know, you're right. i think the real key is that with the show that we do have some people that's like playing the background, do the stand ins for us when we are switching

close or anything f clothes, and they're now hired to life. they have to laugh. >> they get paid extra for that? >> yeah, they actually, it is a union job! so all you kids out there, studying your physics, you can be a laugher. >> that's what you do. >> go to cedric the entertainer laugh institute. >> you make us laugh. i always say comedy is another form of intelligence. it is not easy to be a comedian, you do it so well. cheering you on always. congratulations, cedric. thank you for getting up. thank you. >> thanks so much. indeed, thank you so much. appreciate it. tune in tonight, everybody. >> all right. done and done. season three of "the neighborhood" tonight at 8:00, 7:00 central here on cbs. we'll be right back. ernest hemingway wrote the old man and the sea at 52
