impressive. >> thank you, mary. i have it on my twitter account. my husband. i can take no ♪ good morning to you, our viewers in the west. welcome to "cbs this morning." it's friday, december 4th, 2020. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and that's tony dokoupil. many hospitals are close to the breaking point as the coronavirus surges. governors and mayors are ordering new restrictions while the u.s. passes daily records in cases and deaths. plus, president-elect biden's plan to help turn things around. >> we'll look at the complex effort to distribute vaccines. who will get priority. and why there will not be enough initial doses for all frontline health workers. exploding wildfires in california. we're with firefighters battling flames being spread by 70-mile-an-hour winds. and how covid is complicating

efforts to keep people safe. and from the big screen to your living room. a hollywood studio plans to stream all its new movies at the same time as they are in theaters. what it means for the future of entertainment. >> thinking outside the box. first, here's today's "eye opener." it's your world in 90 seconds. >> we as a country are in a very, very difficult, if not crisis, situation when it comes to the explosion of cases. >> new concerns over vaccine distribution. >> pfizer slashed its vaccine roll-out target in half. >> in washington, nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell holding talks about reaching a covid relief bill before christmas. >> i'm going to have to ask for more. >> right when you get there. >> when we get there. >> president trump has not ruled out firing attorney general bill brr. >> you still have confidence in bill barr? >> ask me that in a number of weeks from now. >> a wildfire continues to grow out of control in california.

forcing thousands of people to evacuate. >> we had to depend upon neighbors to come and grab horses, grab our dogs. >> warner brothers announced it plans to release all of its 2021 films simultaneously in theaters and stream them to hbo max. >> a plane making an emergency landing in minnesota. right in the middle of a three-lane highway. >> and all that matters. >> is he the second gentleman? the second dude? >> i think the term has evolved into the second gentleman. >> i will defer -- >> i think some of his friends are inclined to say that. >> you'll call him the second gentleman? >> no, i'll call him honey. >> if i signed something saying that i'm wrong, i can go to prison. did you? >> giuliani introduced a star witness who ended up going viral because of her attitude. >> we're not seeing the poll book off by 30 thought --

>> what did you do, take it and do something crazy to it? >> she concluded her testimony by saying, i would like to speak to america's manager. i'll wait. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. >> i see stephen colbert. i knew guys when i watched her yesterday, colbert, corden, kimmel, all of them would have a field day with that. it was the way she talked like that and moved her head. steve is absolutely right. she was annoying. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with something very serious. desperate new measures in some states to slow the spread of the coronavirus as you can see. we are heading in the wrong direction and we are heading there very fast. we had more cases than ever yesterday with more than 217,000 new infections. >> the daily death toll is also headed in the wrong direction. nearly 2,900 people yesterday alone died of the coronavirus. that's 1 every 30 seconds or so.

adriana diaz is following nationwide efforts to fight this surge. there's a stay-at-home advisory there in chicago where you are. any chance of that lifting soon? i'm guessing not. >> not at all, tony. you guessed right. in fact, the mayor said yesterday the advisory remains in place. the risk is just too high here and across the country. in fact, over the last two weeks, 34 states broke records for new daily coronavirus cases and that means more patients flooding into hospitals like here at rush university medical center where admissions are up. in fact, many hospitals nationwide are saying they are simply stretched too thin. >> if we don't act now, our hospital system will be overwhelmed. >> reporter: california governor gavin newsom announced plans to enact the strictest lockdown orders his state has seen since march after hospitalizations jumped nearly 200% in the last month. >> we're announcing and introducing a regional stay-at-home order in the state

of california. fundamentally predicated on the need to stop gathering with people outside of your household. >> reporter: the order shutters salons and bars and limits restaurants to takeout and delivery only. in regions of the state where icus reach 85% capacity. the governor expects most of the state to hit that threshold in the next few days. help is on the way in the form of new vaccines. one of which was already approved in the uk. on the cbs news podcast, the takeout, our major garrett asked dr. anthony fauci why the uk approved pfizer's vaccine first. >> i love the brits, they are great scientists but they took the data from the pfizer company and instead of scrutinizing it really, really carefully they said, okay, let's approve it. that's it. >> fauci later apologized saying he has confidence in the uk scientists and regulators. but a vaccine can't come soon enough. on chicago's south side, the crush of new covid patients has doctors and nurses at roseland

community hospital wondering how long they can hold on. >> i'm actually afraid that we're going to get overrun. >> reporter: nurses like alma abad don't just treat covid patients. she comforts them. in the icu, she set up this ipad to connect 85-year-old florence bolton to her grandkids. >> we love you. >> we love you. >> it's that kind of separation that makes losing a loved one to this virus especially cruel. says patrick brent. he lost his 72-year-old mother janice to covid just ten days ago. >> i couldn't go to chicago. i couldn't be with her. i couldn't hold her, hug her. i couldn't even see her. the last time i hugged her was a year ago, and she's gone. she's gone. >> and we have some developments on the pfizer vaccine. according to a "wall street journal" report, the company was forced to cut its production target for the end of the year in half because of issues with ingredient standards. the company says it made those revisions back in november and

the u.s. is still on target to receive its 20 million-dose allotment by the end of the year. >> adriana, thank you. those separation stories are so heartbreaking. president-elect joe biden is calling on congress to break the deadlock on a relief bill for americans hit by the pandemic. in a new interview, mr. biden and vice president-elect kamala harris also say they both plan to take a vaccine once dr. anthony fauci says it's safe. ed o'keefe is following the transition in wilmington, delaware. what else is mr. biden planning? >> well, good morning, anthony. as he prepares to take over, the president-elect says he's got a plan to drive down the rate of covid-19 infection and it involves wearing one of these. >> the first day i'm inaugurated to say i'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask. just 100 days. >> reporter: as president-elect joe biden keep pushing for americans to wear masks he also revealed he had his first direct

conversation with dr. anthony fauci. >> i asked him to stay on in the exact same role he's had for the past several presidents. and i asked him to be chief medical adviser for me as well. and be part of the covid team. >> reporter: as millions of americans are struggling economically, the president-elect backed a $900 billion plan for relief. >> i think it should be passed and i think we're going to need more. i'm going to have to ask for more when we gletet there. >> reporter: on thursday they met with congressional hispanics to make sure they're represented in the cabinet. and he's meet with the naacp. he pushed back against any citicism that his team doesn't diverse enough saying, he's not done yet. >> first eight members are the most diverse cabinet anyone in american history has ever announced. i am going to keep my commitment that the administration, both in the white house and outside in the cabinet, is going to look like the country.

>> reporter: as president trump reportedly continues to mull whether or not to pardon members of his family and other close associates, mr. biden and vice president-elect kamala harris said under their watch the justice department would have complete independence. >> should be based on the law. it should not be influenced by politics, period. >> reporter: more than a month after election day, the president still refuses to concede. but mr. biden feels mr. trump should show up for his inauguration. >> i really worry about the image we're presenting to the rest of the world. this is not -- it's not the united states. in that sense, the protocol of the transfer of power, i think, is important. >> reporter: at least one more key republican, georgia senator david perdue, now appears to be acknowledge playing biden's victory. "the washington post" has obtained video of him saying so. that's notable because the president is headed to georgia tomorrow to campaign for perdue and senator kelly loeffler in their runoff eelection scheduled for january 5th. here in delaware, biden is set

to talk about the final monthly jobs report of 2020. >> thank you, ed. president trump did not address the surge of new covid cases yesterday. he did, however, say that attorney general william barr is not working hard enough to find evidence of election fraud. barr says the justice department has found no evidence that mr. trump lost because of fraud. paula reid has more on this story. >> reporter: president trump on thursday would not say if he had confidence in attorney general william barr. >> ask me that in a number of weeks from now. >> reporter: the tepid response came just two days after barr told the associated press the justice department had looked into complaints about the election but has not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. >> they haven't looked very hard, which is a disappointment, to be honest with you. it's massive fraud. >> reporter: the courts have roundly rejected the complaints because of a lack of evidence of massive fraud. cbs news has also learned the

president was not happy about the article and had a tense meeting with barr on tuesday. >> whether you go to wisconsin, where we just filed a case, or michigan, or if you look at what's happening in georgia, as an example, or pennsylvania. >> reporter: a few hours after the president made that claim, the wisconsin supreme court refused to hear a petition from his legal team to overturn the results of the election in the state. and kicked the case down to lower courts to sort out factual disputes. the campaign says it will continue to fight in wisconsin. and so far, this litigation based on false claims of a rigged election has helped the campaign and the rnc raise over $200 million since election day. gayle? >> that's a lot of money. now we hear the president is threatening to veto a defense spending bill that it seems his own party supports. why is he doing that? >> well, gayle, the president has threatened to veto the national defense authorization act. a bill that has been passed by

congress for 60 years, unless lawmakers add a provision limiting protections for social media companies. but even members of his own party have said that has nothing to do with a bill that helps fund the military. lawmakers do have a way to get around a potential veto. it would require a bipartisan effort. two-thirds of the house and the senate. they have the votes but so far it appears they're calling the president's bluff. sgha . the head of u.s. intelligence is commenting on whether american spy agencies have found evidence of foreign entities changing votes and, thereby, altering the recent election. it's a key claim by president trump's legal team in its attempts to overturn the results. senior investigative correspondent catherine herridge spoke with john ratcliffe in his first network interview as director of national intelligence. >> does the intelligence show that any foreign adversary or criminal group had the ability

to change the vote results? >> not that we have been able to determine now. at this point in time we're still analyzing all of the intelligence. >> tremendous voter fraud and irregularities. >> when the president gives a video on voter fraud allegations, is that intelligence coming from you? >> i can't tell you the specific information that i give the president, but voter fraud is not an issue for the intelligence community, per se. that's a domestic law enforcement issue. >> does the intelligence show that foreign adversaries are amplifying the voter fraud allegations? >> they are. >> who is doing that? >> i can't tell you. >> but they are? >> yes. >> and what's their objective? >> to undermine public confidence in our democratic processes. >> reporter: as the government prepares for a new administration in january, ratcliffe says china is now the nation's most pressing national security threat. from efforts to steal covid vaccine research to ripping off the u.s. economy. >> china intends to dominate the

world, economically, militarily and technologically. they intend to be the world's superpower. >> how many americans and billions of dollars have been lost to the chinese? >> u.s. government estimates about $500 billion a year, which would impact every american household, $4,000 to $6,000 a year as a result of what china is doing on the economic espionage front. >> what does the intelligence show about foreign efforts to steal covid-19 vaccine research? >> china has been attempting to access our research into covid-19. so the pandemic that was created by china's actions, they've attempted to steal our research. >> has it been aggressive in the last year? >> everything that china does is aggressive. >> what is your message on china to the biden team? >> they are our greatest adversary. it's the greatest threat that this country has faced since world war ii. >> director ratcliffe said the delayed transition has not put

the biden team at a disadvantage. biden and harris are now receiving the same highly classified information as president trump. ratcliffe says he plans to release a fuller report on foreign election interference in january. anthony? >> catherine, thank you. a dangerous fast-moving wildfire is slowing down this morning south of los angeles. the bond fire nearly quadrupled in size in just a few hours yesterday. pushed by powerful winds. officials say it started as a house fire. it has burned at least 6400 acres and is just 10% contained. but some areas that were evacuated are now allowing homeowners to return. jonathan vigliotti has more on this california wildfire season that just won't end. >> reporter: wind gusts reaching 70 miles an hour continued to drive this fire near neighborhoods in the canyons of orange county. >> the wind was howling. >> reporter: bruce mcdougal captured these images of flames that engulfed his neighborhood

and destroyed his truck. >> the firemen were here and foamed the back of my house. and i think that saved it. >> reporter: bone-dry conditions gave the blaze plenty of fuel to grow. this is the second major wildfire to hit this area in the past two months. >> you kind of felt like you were safe for at least a couple of years from the brush that the fire had already come through, about two months ago. >> reporter: there are 500 firefighters from more than 30 different agencies battling the blaze. on thursday, two of them were injured and taken to a hospital. but their conditions this morning are unknown. this fire is driven by dry vegetation and high winds. we're talking about gusts up to 70 miles an hour. you can see firefighters on the ground trying to stop this blaze from spreading. >> you have a concern that maybe the fire is a little too close, that's enough. that's enough to have your belongings prepared and to evacuate. >> reporter: because of covid, officials aren't providing shelters for evacuees. they're encouraging them to seek

private safety with family or friends or go to a hotel. local utilities cut power to 52,000 residents starting on wednesday and more than 32,000 remain in the dark thursday. but even that precaution wasn't enough to prevent images like this to become sadly too familiar to the people of california. this has been a record-breaking wildfire season for this state with more than 4 million acres burned. the wind has calmed down, along with the flames which were intense enough to melt this truck. the red flag warnings continue through tomorrow. back to you. >> all right, jonathan. every year it seems we tell this story and every year it's just as devastating. can't imagine what it's like for people who are seeing it last year thinking, god, i hope that doesn't happen to me and this year, they're on the news. >> and the complication it's difficult to go anywhere because of covid. >> not only the same every year. it's a record year. and the president was saying it's forest management issues, but the officials in california are saying it's climate change.

our climate is changing. >> they did not appreciate that at all. ahead, the challenges that states face as they distribute the covid vaccine and why some may not get enough doses to vaccinate all frontline health care workers. at least not immediately. but

we have much more news ahead, including a big change for the movie theater industry. why a hollywood studios decision could keep movie goers at home even after the pandemic. plus, an award winning pilot causes highway havoc with an emergency landing on an interstate. that's all coming up on "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by quaker oats.

♪co-if yo welcome back to "cbs this morning." the first u.s. approval of a coronavirus vaccine is potentially just days away. and we're learning about the challenges states will face when they roll out their vaccination programs. after a state receives its allocation of doses, it must decide how to administer them and who will be vaccinated first. but as our chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook shows us, there's concern some states won't receive enough for all of their frontline health workers. >> reporter: health officials predict that by june there will be enough covid vaccine to dose the entire u.s. population. but how and when the vaccine

gets distributed will be a state-by-state operation that could start as early as next week. >> each state is going to make their call. >> reporter: mohssin alaqwari is tasked with distributing vaccines to each state. he told us each state will receive a certain number of vaccine doses based on population. s. there a centralized database where you're able to follow where things are, when they're there? >> every single vial of vaccine will be coded and tracked and we'll understand where it went, when it was manufactured, what was the quality control data of it, who got immunized from that vial, when it is used, the date will be entered into the state system which then connects into the central system. also in order to have more security, what we've done is that we have created a card that's present in each one of the ancillary bags that go with

each dose of vaccine where there's a syringe and needle and alcohol and gloves and mask for the people that are immunizing. >> reporter: pfizer and moderna are predicted to provide 40 million doses by the end of the year. enough for up to 20 million people. this week an advisory committee to the cdc recommended that the first doses be given to the approximately 21 million u.s. health care personnel and 3 million residents of long-term care facilities. but in some states there may not be enough supply. for example, 51,000 doses are required to vaccinate health care workers in minnesota. but only 19,000 doses are expected to be available before the end of the year. in california, where portions of the state are in lockdown tdue o a surge of new cases, seven hospitals are slated to be among the first to receive the pfizer vaccine which requires ultra cold storage. california is expected to receive 327,000 doses by mid-december with acute care workers in the first tier.

dr. arthur reingold leads it there. >> you may decide that they are a really important place to vaccinate early. other places may decide the highest priority to be people in nursing homes. >> reporter: while states figure out how to roll out the vaccine, some people still worry about its safety. the vaccines are being developed in record time amid a contentious political landscape. >> people are understandably asking, well, wait a second. the fda has been under such political pressure. can we trust them? >> this is the highest standard of scientific evidence. two vaccines from two competing companies using similar technology with totally independently developed end up having the same vaccine efficacy, the same kind of performance to provide reassurance, enormous reassurance that this data are real. please, please don't let

yourself be biased. open up your mind. look at the facts. look at the data and then make up your mind. >> reporter: an fda advisory committee will review the pfizer vaccine december 10th. once that happens the moderna vaccine will be on deck. expected to be reviewed the following week. >> makes such a good point about open up your mind and look at the facts, but it's very hard to do when you're afraid. so many people are afraid. >> they are afraid. you have to continue to reassure. >> covid is more scary. >> i think it's important to remember dr. fauci made a comment about the process in the uk. here in the u.s. we're more metic lurks more careful than they are over there and that's another reason why, look at the data, look at the facts we can trust this thing based on what we're seeing so far. that's a good sign. >> be more careful, take your time. >> i find that reassuring. jon lapook, thank you. coming up next, how a hollywood studio's announcement could mark the end of movie

>> desperate new measures in some states and we are heading in the wrong direction and heading there fast. >> 34 states last two weeks broke records for new daily coronavirus cases and that means more patients flooding into hospitals where admissions are up. >> the president-elect says he has got a plan to drive down the rate of covid-19 infection and it involves wearing one of these. radcliffe said the delayed transmission has not put the biden team to a disadvantage. they are receiving the same highly classified information now as mr. trump. >> dry vegetation and high winds driving the fire. gusts 70 miles per hour. firefighters on the ground trying to stop this blaze. in order to help demonstrate the safety of the covid-19 vaccine, former presidents clinton, bush, and obama have said that they are willing to take the vaccine live on television. >> now that is some presidential leadership.

also, it's a great way to snead ahead to the front of the line. i see you, barry! you and bill and george snatching the first shots! no hate, fellows. game recognize game! >> not a bad idea. i'll take it on camera. big footed by the presidents world. >> we are trying to set an example it is. >> it's great but true they are if he front of the line. >> they are, indeed. startling new coronavirus numbers and reported wrinkle in pfizer smoothly laid out vaccine plans. 14 million cases surpassed yesterday a day when more than 217,000 new cases and more than 276,000 people fellow americans live on january 1st have since died of the virus with the highest daily death toll yesterday than we have had ever before. >> not good. according to "the wall street journal" pfizer ran into a supply issue and cut in half the

number of doses it planned to distribute. the company will roll out more than 1 million doses worldwide in 2021. major garrett interviewed dr. anthony fauci. he criticized the plans while praising the fda. >> they really rushed through that approval. the fda, the united states food and drug administration is the gold standard of regulation. they are doing it in a very careful way appropriately. >> in the meantime, president-elect joe biden says he plans to ask all of us to wear a mask for his first 100 days in office and he wants to require mask wearing in certain places like federal buildings. >> major garrett joins us to discuss his interview with dr. fauci and this week's political headlines. major, good morning. >> good morning. >> dr. fauci has since walked back his comments to you about the uk rushing to approve a vaccine. >> right. >> he told the bbc he has great

faith in health offerings theic but he clearly was concerned about it. >> he was. you can't walk as definitive of a statement dr. fauci made to me which is their process is different than ours. ours is more rigorous. he says britted looked at the press release and approved the drug. the fda excrete nobel prizes everything before it gives emergency use authorization. then i also asked him, the head of the fda has been brought to the white house twice this week by the chief of staff mark meadows. do you consider that overly political pressure? he said no. it's about getting the white house backing of it. i said would it help in that context for the white house to put out a statement? saying exactly that? dr. fauci said it would. i guess we will all wait for that. >> president-elect biden has already made a point of asking dr. fauci to stay on as his chief medical adviser. how significant do you think that is? >> it's important.

the most important thing that happened yesterday revealed also on my show is that, yesterday, for the first time, via zoom, the transsix landing team to president-elect biden met with dr. fauci and his team. i said how often do you expect those conversations to go on? he said almost on a daily basis from now on in. i said would you have preferred those conversations have occurred and started sooner? he said, of course. every transition that begins earlier is a better one about we are where we are. >> let's talk about the president's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. even bill darr said that's not the case. what do you think when the president says asks me in a few weeks? >> number one, that is inauguration day. senate and house are trying to race through enormous legislative priorities in a week and a half. is there a stimulus bill to deal with covid-19 and are we keeping

the government open and operating? you're seeing republicans move away from the the president's position on all three of those and they are thinking how to deal with a post trump reality even though the president is not. on that basis also lindsey graham, a staunch defender of the president said yesterday, where is the evidence? when bill barr and lindsey graham are walking away from you, president trump, you know you have very few allies left in washington and you better start thinking differently about what you're asserting and trying to allege. >> do you think bill barr's job is safe, major? >> probably not. no, sir as safe as it was a week ago but what is the point? you're going to sack your attorney general and then what? the senate is going to confirm a new one? no. you just are leaving the attorney general position vacant and the department of justice rudderless and leadershipless. is that the way you want to go out, mr. president? it could happen and i'm not ruling it out. what is the point? there really isn't a governing point whatsoever other than the president expressing his rage at someone who won't do pres preci

what he wants him to do. >> major, the president is headed to georgia tomorrow as he continues his claims of voter fraud and a lot of concerns among republicans that mae i be suppressing the party's own vote there. >> inviright. he'll run up the vote and think they he is on to something but likely suppress it in the suburban area where the republicans don't buy this assertion made over and over with any backing that something is wrong in the way georgia conducted its election and a tension playing out there. it has republican's taengs heat here. look. elect these two republicans and back their agendas and i'm with them and set aside his grievances about georgia's election conduct. they will all wait to see what he does, what is the constant here? the president is at the center of the spotlight where he always wants to be. >> major garrett, thank

as we get closer to the rollout of a coronavirus vaccine, we have some answers to your questions. our medical contributor dr. david agus joins us to sort it out with you. good evening. good morning, doctor. still early here. >> gayle, you need a break. >> i really do need a boost error something. we are starting with a first question from a viewer, steve.

the pfizer trial had side effects and it faded quickly. how do we set expectations for people planning on taking the vaccine, how can we be sure the vaccine will not develop long term health side effects. good question, steve. >> two amazing questions. number one, the side effects are real. no question about it. the key thing to me is do you want the side effects in your lung? that's what happens when you inhale it or do you want them in your arm with theyo vaccine. you will get fever, chills, fatigue, potentially headache, but they're all self limiting. they'll all go away after 24 to 48 hours. tylenol, remarkable medicine, safe for almost everybody that can stop the side effects, make you feel better. don't be shocked if the day after you start to feel that. and it will be worse the second shot than the first shot. >> very interesting information.

here's a question from terry who has a question that will resonate with a lot of people. listen to this. >> hi, dr. agus. after our whole family gets the first shot, when will i be able to hug my children and my grandchildren? i really miss them. >> good question. >> all right. so terry, we get immunity one week after the second shot. with most of the vaccines, it is about four weeks from the beginning, it is day one and day 21. day one and day 28 with moderna. the problem is that we're still going to require people to wear masks, these vaccines are not 100%. you may get a little sick, mild cold, you could spread the virus to others. only one vaccine to date, astra-zeneca oxford vaccine has been shown to block asymptomatic spread. we're still going to ask you to hold off from hugging

grandchildren until numbers of the virus in the country go down dramatically, so a few more months, probably beginning of the summer until we can drop our guard, all of us start to hug each other. >> looking forward to that. kathleen has a question. is the vaccine free and if not, does your insurance cover it? >> well, the government has bought all of the doses of the vaccine, so the vaccine itself is free, in most places there will be an administration charge. that should be covered by all insurance companies but that's going to be the differential. slight administration charge. if you don't have insurance, many states if not most are developing ways so it is covered, although not guaranteed. >> leslie wants to know do all the vaccines work the same, are somb some better than others?

>> you're lucky it is friday. i appreciate it. >> i really like you. >> tony, this could be end of your career here. >> no, i'm good. i'm good. listen, leslie did ask the question, i didn't ask it. by the way, tony dokoupil, i am 65. do some vaccines work better for others, she wants to know. she said in the case of a 67-year-old. her point is are some vaccines better for others than others? >> this is a career defining moment for tony dokoupil. i'm sorry. >> no, it is not. >> bad thing you're in this situation. so all of the vaccines work, they block 100% hospitalization or getting ill from the virus, that's the best of it. the real question is do some vaccines work better than others in the elderly and younger individuals, and right now we

don't know that answer. so my gut is if it were me, i would take the first vaccine offered of the three, astra-zeneca, pfizer, moderna. and the sooner you're vaccinated, the sooner you're protected. >> what if you say you take the first of the three? >> first available. side effects will be short term, better than getting coronavirus. good information across the board there. dr. agus, you have something quick? >> yes. so that first question, somebody said what about the long term side effects. almost every vaccine in history, side effects you see in the first couple weeks. we haven't seen any serious ones with these. i am not worried about long term side effects. >> thank you very much. we'll be right back.

brain disease, balance problems, trouble seeing. there he is later in life. and ultimately he was diagnosed with something called progressive supernuclear palsy and it's fatal. it's a very tragic way to see a family member go because they are so vital in life and they fade away and they lose that vitality. so i'm bringing it up now, because on monday, i host a gala for a big nonprofit call cure psp, a 30th anniversary celebration and virtual event and my wife also taped it along with me and co-hosting which is fun in parts. it's free to register. you can donate, of course. but it's one of those things where it's not common so it's not like a big headline run a marathon illness, but that is the kind of illness is in particular need of support because it's overlooked in some

ways, so i'm happy to draw attention to it. if you're interested, it's a great cause. >> worth tuning in. >> this is my story. it may top the story of rocky the owl from rockefeller center that was found in a christmas tree. a family came home to find a live koala bear tangled in their christmas tree ornaments and lights. the mom thought the kids were playing a joke and it was a stuffed animal. the koala bear kraued through a hole in the house and apparently the koala try to eat the leaves but stopped when they realized it was plastic. koala rescuers were called. they have those in australia. they captured it very gently and released it into the nearby forest. >> when you call and they say what kind of animal?

koala. kangaroo team is a different number? >> apparently gave the koala the name daphne because it is a 3 to 4-year-old female. the dog tipped them off and ran in and sniffed on the base of the tree and ornaments broken on the floor and they looked up and thought what they thought was a stuffed animal but was not. the koala, by the way, is in good health. a new tribute to a man who had with unof the colorful obits in recent memory. he died in may at the age of 65 and obit calls jacobs a living breathing hang loose sign who spent his nights in dodgy establishments. his life do what bunky say, not what bunky do. the obit was shared around the world and they say please pay someone's open bar tab instead of sending flowers. a beeper is in his honor now.

recent weeks. but surprisingly critics have tossed almost nothing but hatchets creating what the director ron howard told us is, quote. think about that. we talk with amy adams about this weird gap and also why the movie, nonetheless, resonates with viewers. >> i always feel like i've yet to make a film that everybody agrees on, and so i keep trying. >> reporter: but i actually don't think it's a negative sign. i think actually, you know, a movie should not be bland, it should inspire a strong feeling. >> growing up, i would rather as much as i want to be liked indifference was the worst thing. i would chase the indifference constantly to try to force an opinion one way or another. >> reporter: amy adams said she didn't have to force anything to get into the mind of her real life mother beverly in the movie. >> i just had a down, you know, month. >> reporter: though she played a

woman struggling with addiction in appalachian where they wrote poverty is the family tradition. >> you can't take him because he is not yours! >> he might as well be. >> i want to go! >> reporter: adams says she felt a connection. >> you want to go? and live with her? >> reporter: what about it is familiar from your background? >> well, i just think sort of this idea that we pass on the traumas of our ancestors, you know, and how do we stop that from happening? that is something that weighs heavy on me as a mother, sort of how do i keep things that i suffered through from occurring with my daughter? how do i break that cycle? >> reporter: are you thinking about addiction in particular or poverty or some other kind of hardship? >> for me, the thing that i battle with a lot of self-doubt and i question myself and finding my voice. it took me a really long time to find myse self-worth and my agey

and something i don't want to pass on to my daughter. >> reporter: the thing of feeling comfortable in your surrounding, you mean? >> yeah, comfortable in my surroundings and comfortable in my skin, comfortable with an opinion, comfortable with people not liking you. >> reporter: and even after two decades on screen, not to mention a half dozen oscar nominations and a pair of golden globes, adams saw somethi of herself in young j.d. store. j.d. does this transformation from ohio to kentucky to yale and feels a little bit out of water. were you able to relate to that going from a small town colorado to -- >> absolutely. i didn't always feel like i belonged and definitely coming to hollywood and sort of getting the opportunities that i've had, i have definitely fallen into the imposter column from time to time. probably even still. >> reporter: during the election year of r2016, j.d. vance visio turned into the trump whisperer. while this year is defined not

by a reckoning with world decline, but racial injustice, adams sees the very same sparks of conversation. >> i've heard from people unsolicited that spoke to the addict or the trauma. it's one of the first movie a crew member has come up to me and talked about their experience so it definitely gets people feeling. >> reporter: that's a good sign. what do you hope the typical viewer takes away from the movie? >> i hope, a, they can take epa empathy for people they might not understand and might not agree with at times. but i also hope that some people feel seen. >> wow. >> she is an amazing actor. >> she is! >> i really enjoyed the movie. i had read the book and looked at the movie. ron howard has put together such a great cast. you know? i realize the reviews may not be so great but i love all their attitudes about it. >> yeah. >> you know? i thought ron howard said it very well."

it's very peculiar some of these publications so hailed the book are now coming after the movie with criticism. it's sort of a sad thing that happens in this country where it's like if we are focusing on this group and its problems we can't acknowledge this other group has problems and it's not a contest of suffering. both problems matter. >> yeah. >> so far, so good in terms of the viewers, what the viewers think. >> yes. that's all that matters at the end but ron howard has done a lot of movies and this is the biggest gap? >> that is what matters. >> i look forward to every amy adams performance no matter what. >> me too. up next, tiktok v ♪
