7:04 am
drew radicalized supporters of president trump all over the country and now the fbi is warning about what it calls armed protest plans for all 50 states before president-elect biden's inauguration. >> we are also learning that two capitol police officers have been suspended for their actions during last week's assault. jeff pegues starts us off on capitol hill. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: glaring failures caught on camera for the world to see. you talk about the two officers suspended, one of them taking selfies with some of the rioters. the other wearing a maga hat leading the mob through the hallways. there were at least ten active ongoing investigations of capitol police actions as the outgoing chief said his pleas for help from the national guard were denied. >> we didn't expect the mob, riotous and violent mob we got on that day. >> reporter: outgoing police capitol chief steven sund who
7:05 am
resigned last week told sbs news that during the attack on the capitol he repeatedly asked the pentagon to send national guard troops. >> i needed boots on the ground, immediate assistance right then and there helping to form police lines to help secure the foundation of the united states capitol building. they were more concerned with the optics. >> reporter: the pentagon says it did not deny sund's request. still, the national guard was not deployed for hours. leaving capitol police battling the angry mob. you can see in this video, a fire extinguisher being hurled at officers. >> rank and file members were really set up for failure. i mean, there were heroes there that day that did a hell of a job. and their superiors put them in a very, very difficult position. >> reporter: congressman tim ryan chairs the house committee that oversees capitol police funding. he wants to make sure the force is buttoned up ahead of the inauguration. and the bad actions of a few officers who may have facilitated the riot are exempt. >> a lot of us, as members of
7:06 am
congress, certainly expected more to be done than opening the gates. and that needs to be looked into and investigated. >> reporter: cbs news has also learned there is investigative activity in more than 30 states across the country, related to the capitol attack and inauguration. and the fbi has now received more than 45,000 digital media tips. >> let's go. >> reporter: 10,000 national guard troops are already in washington or on their way to support inauguration security. the washington monument is closed. and the park service says it may shut down other public areas in d.c. in the coming days. president trump approved d.c. mayor muriel bowser's request for an emergency declaration. she's urging people to stay home. >> if i'm scared of anything, it's for our democracy. >> reporter: despite rioters swarming the inauguration platform during the attack last week the president-elect says he's still
7:07 am
planning to take the oath the office in the west front of the capitol. >> i'm not afraid of taking the oath outside. >> reporter: there have been a number of threats against lawmakers here in washington including once again house speaker nancy pelosi. we have learned from our sources on january 7th, an individual was picked up on january 7. he was driving a white pickup truck here in washington pulling a van, or a trailer, rather, filled with guns and ammunition. investigators say that the individual talked about shooting the house speaker. they deem that they was mentally unstable. >> chad wolf has resigned as the country is on high alert. his announcement did not mention wednesday eesz riot but wolf is the third cabinet member to resign following wednesday's siege. we're joined by cbs news security analyst fran townsend, serving as adviser to george w. bush.
7:08 am
chad wolf on paper is the gentleman in charge of security for the inauguration, and his explanation for resigning is short on details. what do you think is going on here? >> look, i think the resignation of the homeland security secretary nine days before a national security special event that he himself is responsible for is both disgraceful and irresponsible. the u.s. secret service is the agency who's in charge of the security for the inauguration. but they work for the secretary of homeland security. look, he didn't -- other cabinet secretaries said they left because of what happened last week at the capitol. chad wolf cites a litigation here in new york that's been going on for some time. i think it's a cover for somebody who is a coward. ipg he just doesn't want to be responsible for inauguration security after the debacle last week. >> yeah, it doesn't seem like a setup for success. i want to talk about the two capitol hill police officers suspended for their roles in the riots.
7:09 am
there are ten other investigations. we are told. as you prepare for security for the inauguration how do you deal with the fact that there could be among the many heroic members of that security team some people who are sympathetic to the pro-trump mob that assaulted the capitol? >> tony, it's very disturbing. but we have to give the capitol hill police this much credit, right? they're looking to root out those people. and they're not the only ones you're going to rely on for security at the inauguration. you've got the u.s. secret service. you're going to have 10,000 national guard troops and you have an ongoing fbi investigation with lots of information and lots of leads. so, i think the capitol hill police are trying to do the best they can under very difficult circumstances. and i give them credit for policing their own. >> joe biden says he wants to appear outside to deliver his speech at the inauguration outside. he says he's not afraid. as a security expert, are you concerned for him? >> well, i am always concerned at every inauguration, especially when the new
7:10 am
president walks down pennsylvania avenue. but i think that this will be the most secure, and you'll have a greater security presence than ever before. they've already closed two of the national monuments. i suspect they will restrict access to the national mall on inauguration day. i think people are now trying and very focused to be sure this is the safest, most secure inauguration we've ever seen. >> fran townsend who will not be writing a letter of recommendation for chad wolf's next position. fran, thank you very much. >> that was clear. the two met yesterday at the white house days after the president's supporters called for mr. pence's murder. and as the vice president faces calls to use the 25th amendment to force president trump from office. house speaker nancy pelosi has given the vice president until tomorrow to make his decision
7:11 am
while she moves ahead with possible impeachment plans against the president. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. so what happens next, nancy? >> reporter: well, what's next, anthony, is that the house votes tonight to urge the vice president to invoke the 25th amendment, that is the first step in a process. but it is unlikely to yield results, because white house sources tell cbs news that the vice president is not going to do anything to force mr. trump out. >> the house will be in order. >> reporter: house democrats will try to up the pressure on the vice president today, passing a resolution calling on him and the cabinet to -- >> -- declare president donald j. trump incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as acting president. >> reporter: the vote to impeach will likely come tomorrow. and the leaders of that push are already getting explicit threats. >> you're out of your [ bleep ] mind. you haven't seen anything yet. >> reporter: the impeachment resolution argues president
7:12 am
trump gravely endangered the security of the united states last week. >> we fight like hell. >> reporter: california's ted lieu is one of the resolution's authors. >> he incited a mob that attacked the capitol, resulting in numerous deaths. we can't just pretend this did not happen. >> reporter: in a letter to house republicans, gop leader kevin mccarthy argued against impeachment, in favor of something less severe such as censure. but some of his gop colleagues will likely vote to impeach. meijer. >> it's obvious, the president is not qualified to hold that office. >> reporter: if impeachment passes tomorrow, that means the senate could be gearing up for a trial just as president-elect biden prepares to take office. west virginia democrat joe manchin argues the votes aren't there to convict. >> i think this is so ill advised for joe biden to be
7:13 am
coming in trying to heal the country so devoted and we're fighting again. >> reporter: mr. biden has been discussing the timing with democratic leaders. >> we'll have half day dealing with the impeachment. and half day getting my people nominated and confirmed in the senate. >> reporter: senate democrats would need at least 17 republicans to join with them to convict. but so far, only one republican senator has said he'll consider impeachment, while two gop senators have called on the president to resign. today, mr. trump will be traveling to alamo, texas, to tout the completion of part of his signature border wall. it's the first time we'll see him in public since the white house released a video of him last thursday. gayle. >> nancy, thank you. we have just learned this morning that sheldon adelson, the billionaire ca seen owner and political finance -- he donated hundreds of millions of
7:14 am
dollars to president trump and other republicans, gave billions more to charities and hospitals in the u.s. and israel. ed o'keefe takes a look, morning to you, big surprise. >> he's most known to many around the world as the guy who built the palazzo hotels on the las vegas strip. but he played an outsized role in campaign politics in reens years, gaving $75 million to president trump's reelection bid. he donated $525 million to gop candidates and causes. critics say given how much money he was able to donate he embodied what's wrong with money in politics. this morning former president george b. bush called adelson an american patriot, and a strong supporter of israel. it was his long time push to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. he sent one of his private jets
7:15 am
to china to pick up millions of face masks. he died of complications related to treatment of non-hodgkin's lymphoma. he was 87. >> ed, those are staggering fund raising numbers. what do you expect adelson's death will mean for the republican party? >> it's telling, anthony, so many senior republicans have statements this morning the floor. and s state and local leade to vaccinate more p people fast, the cdc saying nearlyy 9 millio amerericans have received their first vaccicine doses. but that's only about one-third
7:16 am
of the more than 25 million doses distributed. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in los angeles. david, what are officials doing to speed things up? >> reporter: well, they're standing up more vaccination sites, anthony and they should because this country is running way behind. take for example what's happening this weeks. disneyland down in orange county is going to stand up a vaccination site there. they've got the tents stadium. dodgers stadium. and 12,000 people a day at dodgers people. on top of that here in l.a. county we're told they're trying to use pharmacies, libraries and parks and supermarkets to also . here's what's happening elsewhere around the country to get more people vaccinated. >> are you doing okay? >> reporter: from san diego to miami, san antonio to phoenix there are mass vaccination sites coming online in cities around the country. arizona officials say nearly 44,000 people have made
7:17 am
appointments at their new 24-hour site at state farm sadium, nearly 29,000 for this week alone. in new york city, there are five 24-hour mass vaccination sites up and running. >> i didn't think we going to get it this soon. i'm grateful. i feel like i'm getting my life back. >> reporter: to los angeles county where supply is san issue. they were programsed 1.8 million doses of vaccine. according to hilda solis. >> we're getting our fair share now and we need to ramp that up. >> reporter: while president-elect joe biden who got his second dose of the vaccine yesterday has doubled down on his pledge to vaccinate 50 million people in his first 100 days in office. >> and it's just beyond the pale. >> reporter: but unless officials loosen and simplify eligibility requirements soon the process will likely take far
7:18 am
too long warns dr. peter hotez of baylor university. >> anytime we have any level of complexity, it's slowed us down or shut us down entirely. i think that's true of the cdc recommendations. we can't make excuses anymore. weagain. we've squandered over opportunity to contain covid-19. >> reporter: talk about straight talk from dr. hotez. listen, here in los angeles county things are so bad in terms of viral spread in the community. yesterday county officials said if you leave home for any reason, for any errand, when you come back home, you should wear a mask in your home to protect your family from you because that's how dire the situation is here in l.a. county. >> wow, david, thank you very much. we were wondering why he's wearing a mask indoors. there's an answer. ahead, some of america's biggest corporations are suspended political donations after the assault on the

♪ it's tuesday, january 12th, 2021, welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. that's tony dokoupil. that's anthony mason. the fbi is warning of a potential new wave of armed protests, by pro-trump groups, when and where there is a risk of violence. the coronavirus vaccine still failing to reach millions of vulnerable americans, how the rollout should be going according to a member of president-elect biden's covid task force. and chris rock gets personal in his new remix netflix special. see his candid conversation with gayle. >> we like it when chris rock gets personal. first, here's today's eye opener
8:01 am
at 8:00. the fbi is warning about what it calls armed protests planned for all 50 states before president-elect biden's inauguration. >> there were at least ten ongoing investigations into capitol police actions as the outgoing chief says his pleas for help from the national guard were denied. >> acting homeland security secretary chad wolf resigned. what do you think is going on here? >> the resignation nine days before a national security special event is both disgraceful and irresponsible. >> the house votes tonight to urge the vice president to invoke the 25th amendment. but it is unlikely to yield results because white house sources tell cbs news that the vice president is not going to do anything to force mr. trump out. >> for first time ever, an nfl game was broadcast on nickelodeon, which meant there was some changes to the broadcast. whenever there was a penalty, young sheldon would pop up and explain.
8:02 am
you know what i say, put young sheldon on the field. make it a bonus point if a team can grab young sheldon and run with him the entire field and get him over the touchdown line. >> we like him, young sheldon. >> we like young sheldon. we like what they did with nickelodeon. >> that was genius. >> i want to know whose idea that was, genius idea, very creative. and part of the viacom cbs family, i might mention. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we begin with this, house democrats are ready to move on impeachment if vice president mike pence does not invoke the 25th amendment by tomorrow to remove president trump. this comes as we learn about new threats of violence across the nation in the wake of the assault on the capitol, the fbi is warning that armed protests are being planned for all 50 states and d.c. and the days leading up to joe biden's inauguration. >> cbs news learned one group
8:03 am
wants to storm government buildings on inauguration day. and is urging similar action if the president is removed before then. the head of the national guard says there will be at least 10,000 troops in d.c. for the inauguration with another 5,000 ready if necessary. there is no end in sight to the coronavirus threat in america. and this morning, the total number of reported cases is more than 22.6 million. the death toll meanwhile climbed to more than 376,000. mass vaccination sites are being set up across the country. the cdc says more than 25 million vaccine doses have been made available, however, less than 9 million of us have actually received one. >> and wait, there's more. another new variant of the virus has been detected in japan. japanese health officials say it was discovered at an airport in four people arriving from brazil. it is not clear how the variant differs from the main virus, other new strains have been found to be more infectious.
8:04 am
>> we're joined by a member of president-elect joe biden's coronavirus advisory board, michael osterholm, an epidemiologist, and director of the center for infectious diseases and research and policy at the university of minnesota. michael, good morning. thank you for coming back. we appreciate you being here again. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> thank you for having me. >> is president-elect biden's goal to distribute the doses in his first 100 days still achievable given how much trouble we are having getting this vaccine into people's arms? >> well, i would call it an aspirational goal and one i think we must strive for. we know every day we don't have vaccine in people's arms, people are getting sick and dying. so i think every effort must be made to do that, and, you know, the team is behind him in every way they can to help make it a reality. >> michael, on this broadcast before you praised the efforts of operation warp speed in getting us a vaccine.
8:05 am
but you were very concerned about the last stretch. why are we having so much trouble in distributing this vaccine? >> well, anthony, as you said, i've been very concerned for some time and actually for over many weeks, been saying this last mile and this last inch was going to be a real problem. the last mile meaning getting the vaccine to the populations that are at highest risk, first of all, long-term care facilities, and hospitals. healthcare centers. right now we have had a real challenge getting vaccine into long-term care facilities because the two private pharmacy companies that had the contract with the trump administration to do that have been very slow in getting it done. second of all, in the healthcare setting, it has been a challenge because many of these hospitals right now themselves are overrun with the cases of covid-19 and it is very hard to be able to coordinate both getting vaccine into these healthcare workers at the same time they're working 16 hour shifts day after day.
8:06 am
and but that's coming and it is getting done and now what we need to do once we get those two done, we need to get to the other high risk populations, age is clearly a critical one. you're see something states right now, there already targeting those over 75, we'll move next to 65. if we cover those groups right there, we will start to really have an impact on the number of serious illnesses and deaths. >> we saw earlier in this broadcast charlie d'agata from london reporting from a racetrack where the british are putting vaccines in a huge number of people. do we need to make that kind of an effort? >> we will make that kind of an effort. first of all, state and local health departments which really are the air traffic control towers in each state for moving these vaccines into the right populations at the right time really have in the been engaged in a way that they will be with a new biden effort. they have not yet received support from the federal government, to even roll out the vaccines. and so in that regard there has been a real challenge trying to
8:07 am
hire vaccinators, the kind of programs where you get people registered efficiently, they know when to go, where to go and how to go to get their vaccine. i think you're going to see that all changing in the days ahead. and all i can say is we have to change it because, again, i -- just in the time that we're doing this interview, i think, you know, 10 to 20 people in this country will have died from covid. that's what we're up against right now. >> michael, how soon do you expect the vaccine will be widely available in this country? >> well, we're going to start seeing it ramp up every day. if we get a third vaccine, which may be approved in the next month or so, you know, by the second -- end of the second quarter we could have an abundance of vaccine. but let me just say the last piece of that last mile, last inch is getting people convinced they need it. we're still seeing pockets of great resistance to getting the vaccine, vaccine hesitancy. again, this administration has not done nearly enough to help educate people about what these vaccines are, how safe they are, what they can do, and the fact
8:08 am
that they can only save your life, but the life of a loved one. >> sure can. michael osterholm, thank you very much for being with us again. we appreciate it. >> thank you. healthcare is a big focus in technology trends in 2021. we'll show you how innovations like a device that connects doctors and patients for virtual medical exams. and what is new at the big ces tech show

comedian chris rock is releasing a new extended cut of his netflix special today. it is called "chris rock total blackout the tambourine extended cut ." in this remix of his 2018 special he shares never before seen jokes and some interviews. we had a very candid conversation with the comedian outside his home in alpine, new jersey. i do mean outside. he wouldn't let us in the house. he said it is called covid, gayle. he opened up about everything from politics, race, to fatherhood and his start in comedy. when did you know you were funny, chris? >> i knew early on. when i was a kid and outside arguing about something and i was passionate and everybody was laughing and i'm, like, what's going on? now i can harness it and do it when i want to. when my kid was 2, she was biting kids on the playground. you think i taught her to bite kids?
8:16 am
no, that was her natural state. >> comedy legend chris rock is a master of his craft, the star says his career could have very easily taken another path. >> honestly, gayle, if you were to offer me in like 1989 '90, before i got on "saturday night live ," if you offered me a job that paid $10, $12 an hour,, i wowould have n never t told ano jojoke in my y life. >> realllly? > yeah. >> that debut on "snl" would change everything. today, rock has 30 years of show business under his belt, most recently starring in the tv series "fargo". >> what if he he walks tall? andd statays a man?n? >> hey, chrisis rockk here. >> a and has a new special on n lymph ca flix "chris rock total blackout tambourine extended cut". >> they used to have signs out that said whites only. they used to have signs up that
8:17 am
said no blacks allowed. now they got something new. it is called prices. >> rock uses that signature wit to address the racial divides in america. >> whole foods does not say no blacks allowed. but a $7 orange sure does. >> race relations in this country are very, very uneasy. >> as i always say there are no race relations. a relationship is when things are equal between two people. that's a relationship. okay? so when you say race relations, that term doesn't really exist. >> okay. >> we were abused from the time we got here until about, you know, 1978, legally. >> legally, yeah. >> and hasn't really been an economic conversation about it because part of what happened from slavery to whatever, 1975,
8:18 am
you know, people got loans and jobs, basically given welfare. basically given, you know, a financial head start. >> an advantage, for sure. when people hear the term white privilege, they don't like that term. they say, listen, you know, i've struggled too, i haven't always succeeded, but no one wants to acknowledge gives you a certain advantage that black people don't have. >> so maybe, you know, maybe white privilege is a bad term. but there is real estate privilege that you cannot deny. there is no more -- you don't need a sign that says -- no blacks allowed you make all the houses $3 million and that will keep the blacks out, you know what i mean?? >> the deeeeply p personal s sp also showsws rock unafraraid ton that crititical lens back o on himself, touchching on divororcd infidelility. >> guguys, we're horriblee chea. soso e easy too catatch us bece

8:20 am
you up. >> are your testing days over? >> my testing days -- i like peace. >> yeah. >> i really -- i value peace. i value putting my phone down and not -- not being in the shower, like, where's my phone? >> that's a terrible way to live. >> it is a horrible way to live. why's my ipad? the ipad is the one that really gets you, because you can erase stuff on your phone, but it is still on your ipad. >> if your cheating days are over, you say -- >> so over. >> so what are you looking for in a partner, chris? >> you know, gayle, i'm just with my kids and, yeah, if i meet somebody, that would be great. >> lola was here. i got to see lola again. >> lola. >> and zara. what do you want to teach them about men? what are you teaching them about men? >> men, i mean, what do i teach them about men? first of all, i shower them in
8:21 am
attention. like, ridiculous attention. so when they get attention from men, or women, you never know, it is not going to be a big deal to them. i want my girls to be independent. let people in your life based on integrity, and, you know, and character as opposed to curly hair. >> these days rock is focusing on his two daughters and with a pandemic has come fresh perspective. >> i actually do believe that life is better when shared. and it is -- covid does open up a whole way of thinking about things. i really do believe that. >> yeah. put it this way, we're all on this hamster wheel, and it was so much going on. and i know 300,000 people are dead. so, you know. >> we're not making light of that. >> we're not making light of that. it was great to pause. and, you know, i will never work like i did before covid. >> you won't? why? >> i'm just -- because life is short. and to think -- before you turn
8:22 am
50, you're, like, trying to accumulate things. and then once you turn 50, you're, like, okay, how much can i live without? >> he's finding what can he pair down. i'm not auditioning for chris rock's new partner but i adore him. i think he's in a different place in his life, he's doing different things he's never done before. he said he misses being on the road and performing. as a comedian, they feed off the audience and he misses being -- he misses being able to perform in front of an audience. so this netflix special is hilarious, laugh out loud, very funny. very reflective. >> he said he will not work as hard as he did before covid. i think a lot of people experienced something like that. >> very different. >> i believe in one of the clips i saw, he said he would travel with you, maybe. you adore him, he adores you, you get along. >> we'll see. we'll talk with a best-selling author about adapting his memoir for young adults. best-seselling

traffic between the arch de triomphe and the accord. the new design will cut it in half making way for more greenery, wider sidewalks for pedestrians. paris' mayor says it turns into an extraordinary garden. the cost of this makeover -- more than $300 million. most of the work will be done after paris hosts the 2024 summer olympics but i'm already dreaming of going back to paris. >> what's the name of the street again? >> champs-elysees. >> not the champs-elysees? >> not the champs-elysees. >> i've heard people say that. >> the champs-elysees. >> all right. i've got an update on something i talked about last week. i talked about mega millions and powerball. the lottery jackpots had reached $400 million. guess what, no winners yet. the combined jackpots are more than $1 billion. >> what's the odds of winning
8:32 am
both? 1 in 300 million. it's not good. >> nobody should win them both, right? i like the pools when they win. >> you are still here. you didn't win. >> it's that jackpot but it's now higher, right? >> i like it. i like it. >> gayle, what do you got? >> okay. mine is, i think,arious video o salesman that went viral with his catchphrase listen -- >> where the money reside. ♪ where the money reside i got all these good deal y'all ask about ♪ i do it all the time ♪ >> okay. it's funny, him getting out of a trunk of the car where he talked about ♪ where the money reside where the money reside ♪ he says if you can get anybody to give a better deal, that's 23-year-old -- who did you say -- selling hondas.
8:33 am
that's 23-year-old rely-b of baton rouge. and he says he created the video to attract more customers. mission accomplished. "where the money reside" i think that's funny. he hopes to inspire others to work harder. >> i think that's very clever and creative. and it's a nice segue from where the money resides where the money resides -- you're going to be famous. into the annual technology show, it gives us a chance to peek into the future and see devices that may change our lives in the years old. this week, the new gadgets include robots that help around the house. massive tvs. it's all virtual, of course, because of the pandemic. but many of these devices focus on the health and activities at
8:34 am
home. isn't that convenient. brian cooley joins us with the latest trends. brian, before you get into it, i want to remind people this show is where we first saw headphone, vcrs, tvs, home computers, video games. there are things that really stay with us forever that pop up here first. and a lot of things that we never see again. let's see what we got this morning. >> yeah, that's the problem. too much of at ces is what we call vaporware at the business. it arrives at the show and never anywhere else. everything i brought you today has certain concreteness to it. >> okay. i understand there's a robot from samsung that can pour a glass of wine, that sounds like a keeper. >> yeah, this day and age, make that two. there's one called the bot-handy. literally gives you a hand around the house. a one-armed robot that has an articulated arm. it uses the censte sensors in t
8:35 am
cameras to picking it up. as opposed to shattering it because it's a clumsy oaf. this is a new wrinkle in saying how do we make robots that are not only amazing but uniform. many say the smart home tech is cool but where's the stuff that saves me labor and time? and robots tend to go that direction. >> yeah, i like that idea. tell me about the flo. >> flo is a new coming to market soon, light emitter that you put into your nostril and turn on for a few seconds and it delivers carefully measured infrared and red light. why? because it turns out something called photo bio modulation which will cause that area in your nose not to have a histamine reaction. in other words, it's light that stops allergic reactions. >> in other words, it's magic, as far as i'm concerned. an invisible beam in your nose.
8:36 am
tell us about the virtual medical exams. if you do have symptoms that you'd like a doctor to check out but you don't want to travel. >> yeah, we have a lot of talk about remote health at ces. as you can imagine. let's go to another camera. this is a base module that has a temperature scan in the bottom for forehead temp scanning but tell goes way beyond that. take this add-on here, clip it on, now this thing is an fda-approved stethoscope to listen for heart and lung function. >> wow. >> it tells you on the screen how to use but i've got more. here's one that clips on, an t ottoscope, a tiny camera that's going to look in your ear like a doctor would. and this last one, tongue depressor. that camera takes a medical shot of the back of your throat. of course, the key then is
8:37 am
doctors will be on the platform they can see the things as you take the readings making telehealth visit more useful. >> apparently if you're bored in the telehealth wait hree tickets to the first-run movie you can watch it. if i see too many people come in the room, i pause the movie and say you've got to buy another ticket. studios can say, wait a minute, we can actually sell first-run movies directly to home at real ticket prices and make sure you're not losing your shirt
8:38 am
because you have 30 neighbors come over to watch it. if there's a way to monitor to have a virtual box office on screen, suddenly this idea blockbuster to home makes sense. >> i'm used to watching tv, not the tv watching me but i guess the future is now. brian cooley, we appreciate.

♪ we're going to bring in "the new york times" best-selling author ta-nehisi coates in just a moment. we're having audio issues we're working on. there was really exciting stuff at the ces. >> yeah. >> i'm a little alarmed allowing a camera into my television that as you pointed out is looking at me. >> the giant, giant tvs, the definition is enough to give me a heart attack if i catch a glimpse of myself. >> i'm trying to understand the example if you have four people coming in the room. when if they come in and laying

on the floor. can the camera still count them. not that i would know anything about going into a theater or anything like that. >> walking in behind house plants. >> i thought that was interesting. you did a great job. >> brian cooley has good stuff. "the new york times" best-selling author ta-nehisi coates is sharing his journey with younger readers his new book "the beautiful struggle" was adapted to the book of the same name of growing up in west baltimore in the 1980s. coates writes about how he succeeded and became the man that he is with the help of his parents. ta-nehisi coates joins us now. thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> what's the challenge -- the first book you wrote 12 -- 13 years now. >> 12, 13 years. yeah. >> you can believe it? >> time flies, time flies, man. >> sure thing.
8:44 am
what was your approach in adapting this for younger readers? >> well, actually, i had quite a bit of help adapting it. but i think one of the really fortunate things about it, when i wrote it at the time, i think i was 31 when "beautiful struggle" published. what i always imagined it was a younger version of me, say, in my early 20s. writing to a high school/middle school version of me. >> yeah. >> so it was always the book that i would have wanted to see at that period of time. in many ways the foundation was there. >> that's an interesting state of mind. >> i think so, too. i look at you, you had quite a life. i wonder if you were hard on yourself. you described yourself as a monument to unknowledge. you talked a lot. in second grade they diagnosed you probably as mentally challenged would be a polite way of saying it.
8:45 am
but your mom always believed. she never gave up on you. do you ever marvel about how your life came out when you consider the background of how you started? i say kudos and bravo to your mom. >> i do. i do. you know, i had a great mother. my mom taught me to read. she's probably the most consequential figure in me being a writer. i think, gayle if i had to completely write that book now i would be much more understanding of the younger me. >> oh. >> it's telling it was published originally almost 12 years ago. because, you know, i've now had some experience, some time. my own son is 20 years old, you know what i mean? >> yes. >> so, i know what kids are actually like. i think a lot in that book is me trying to figure out what's wrong with me. if i would say anything to my younger self now, i would say nothing. nothing at all.
8:46 am
>> ta-nehisi, you write about how your mom was writing towards mecca which is howard, i love that idea. what i could not understand she believe i'd was owed. no matter what i'd done in high school, somehow i was entitled to see the mecca in this great black cosmopolopis. what was the root of that faith, do you think? >> i think first of all, my mom, she was a graduate of hbc in baltimore. having that, a lot of her brothers and sisters who had gone to hbcu's university of maryland eastern shore, i think that in a sense, hbcu's place of haven for black kids. but i think more than that and this goes back to what i was saying before, i think at that time, my mom really had that
8:47 am
kind of forgiveness and tenderness which i wish i had when i wrote the book. she had a great understanding herself, having been a teacher, where you start is not where you end up. and 16-year-old you is not a verdict on who you ultimately will be. >> we just saw a shot at you at howard. i got a kick out of your mom. you wrote she said you didn't want to the go to howard at first. >> i didn't. >> and your mom gave you that -- you know what this is smile when she was talking. when you made a mistake, she made you do an essay to write over and over what you did and how did you it. but i want to talk to you, ta-nehisi, about the current events. we're all rocked by what happened on january 6th. what went through your mind when you saw it unfold at the united states capitol?
8:48 am
>> this is horrible to say, we told you so. i wouldn't even say i told you so. we told you so. >> who is the we? >> i would say african-american writers and i think african-americans at large. there were a number of people in the wake of donald trump's election were very, very clear about the great danger that, you know, a trump presidency would pose, not just to black people, but to the united states itself. and we, you know, we're told that we're making too much out of this. oh, he's not really a white supremacist. oh, it's not that bad, oh the office of presidency will sober him. oh, there are people around him that will make sure and curb his power. nd his presidency ends with him inciting an attack on the congress of the united states of america. hopefully, people will take this seriously now. >> what do you think -- how significant do you think the
8:49 am
damage is from this? >> oh, i think it's quite significant. i think it's quite significant. becase if -- i don't have the exact numbers but i believe ultimately, even after that attack, at least half, perhaps a majority of the republican congress people in the house of representatives voted against, you know, the idea of affirming >> still supporting him, yeah. >> still supporting him. the riot could be a distraction. the insurrection could be a distraction. there's a deeply felt sense in a certain population of this country that we should have that form of government. that's not going away. >> my apologies. we thank you for being here "the beautiful struggle" is the ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
