>> yes. we can see friday. it's almost there. all right. thank you, thank you for watching kpix5 news in this morning. p. good morning to you, our viewers in the west, and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's wednesday, january 13th, 2021. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. the house will hold an historic vote to impeach president trump for the second time but new signs that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell may be open to impeachment. the fbi now says they did warn law enforcement of a war at the capitol the day before the deadly attack. new details on the charges and who was allegedly involved, including a gold medal olympic swimmer. a major new effort is under way this morning to speed up coronavirus vaccinations. we'll tell you who may be newly

eligible. plus, our exclusive conversation with apple ceo tim cook. what the company's going to address racial inequality in the current political moment. they've got big plans. first, here's today's "eye opener." it's your world in 90 seconds. >> the president called for this seditious attack. >> it he's not protecting the public from mob insurrection. >> a growing number of republicans are on board. >> while the president of the united states incites this attack without consequences a direct threat to the future of this democracy. >> president trump gave public comments for the first the time since the riots at the nation's capitol. he denied responsibility. >> people thought what i said was totally appropriate. >> the fbi providing an update on the investigation in the aftermath of the u.s. capitol riots. >> we opened over 160 case files and that's just the tip of the

iceberg. >> health officials are zri releasing the entire supply we have for the united states. >> all international air travelers will soon be required to have a negative covid-19 to enter the u.s. >> all of that and dramatic ending of a police chase that sent a truck rolling. three people were treated at the scene. >> and all that matters. >> president trump traveled to alamo, texas, to visit the border wall that had been a cornerstone of his presidency. >> what a nice reminder how much the president hates people storming barriers and entering places they aren't legally allowed. >> on "cbs this morning." >> house minority leader kevin mccarthy told potus, he should call joe biden, meet with the president-elect and follow tradition and leave a welcome letter in the resolute desk for his successor. we actually have a copy of the first draft of the president's welcome letter. if you ever want to see

democracy again, leave a wheelbarrow of chicken nuggets with the concierge of my hotel. you're looking at the shot of the u.s. capitol, and there's a reason for that. that's where we begin as you wake up in the west. we're witnessing another unprecedented day in american history. how many times have you heard us say that ? the house is meeting right now to decide if he will impeached for a second time for inciting insurrection. the house wanted to force the 25th amendment and vice president pence decided against that, citing constitutional concerns. >> and there are signs mitch mcconnell may be open to impeachment. nancy cordes is in washington monitoring all of this. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. that's right, leader mcconnell told associates impeachment

could help the gop move past president trump and that could completely change the dynamics of the senate trial to come. on the house side, gop support is growing by the hour ahead of today's vote. a member of republican leadership is now on board. she calls it a vote of conscienceconscience. there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states. those are the blistering words from the third ranking house republican, wyoming's liz cheney, who says she will vote today to impeach president trump. she'll be joined by at least four other republicans, including john katko of new york. >> to allow the president of the united states to incite this attack without consequences is a direct threat to the future of this democracy. >> reporter: the house is set to pass one article of impeachment,in citement of insurrection. arguing president trump encouraged his supporters to obstruct the electoral count and the peaceful transition of power, adding that his actions resulted in the terrorist attack that occurred last week.

nor did he swiftly denounce the violence. last night, house democrats made a final and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to urge the vice president to invoke the 25th amendment. >> never before has a president sought to overturn a fair and secure election. >> the president's actions demonstrate his absolute inability to discharge the most basic and fundamental powers and duties of his office. therefore, the president must be removed from office immediately. >> reporter: many in the president's party will vote against impeachment again. >> everybody in this country knows that they wanted to impeach president trump on his first day in office. looks like they're going to want to impeach him on his last day, too. >> they're going to do impeachment. they're going to do it again. they've been obsessed with it. >> reporter: the president is arguing the same. >> the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch-hunt in the history of our country. >> reporter: in texas yesterday he took no responsibility and

claimed there was nothing wrong with the speech he gave just before his supporters stormed the capitol. >> it's been analyzed, and people thought that what i said was totally appropriate. >> reporter: but today's impeachment withhigh-level republican support suggests otherwise. and the impeachment process is now moving so swiftly that last night house speaker nancy pelosi named the nine house managers who will argue the case in the senate trial. in the last impeachment, it took her nearly a month to name the managers. it's the clearest possible sign that she plans on sending this article of impeachment to the senate for a trial right away. tony? >> yeah. here it comes. there are new security measures on capitol hill, understandably. we're hearing that several republican lebron jawmakers angt them? >> reporter: that's right, tensions were very high at the vote on the house floor between house republicans and democrats and even capitol police over a new security measure that requires everyone going on to the house floor to walk through

metal detectors. that made many republicans very angry. some of them refused to comply, including a new member, colorado's lauren bobert, who has vowed to carry a gun everywhere on capitol hill. she was spotted arguing with capitol police over searching her bag. democrats say this is for everyone's safety, but republicans argue it's an atrocity and unconstitutional. tony? >> does seem prudent. thank you very much. we are learning that law enforcement did, in fact, receive a warning about last week's deadly attack on the capitol. the fbi now says the day before the riot a field office in the fbi warning came a day before the attack, and said we

get our president or people will die. the fbi took it seriously. and here now in d.c. a week before the inauguration, this is really unprecedented in a lot of ways. you see people boarding up here and down the block, you see the trucks blocking the street and that's something we've seen across this city, with still seven days to go before the inauguration. >> there will be no excuse for violence, vandalism, or any other form of lawlessness. comments since last week's deadly attacks, acting attorney general jeffrey rosen sent a warning -- >> we will have no tolerance whatsoever for any attempts to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power on january 20th. >> reporter: it comes as members of congress have been briefed on security threats ahead of the inauguration. including potential plans for a large armed protest and a plot to surround the capitol, white house, and supreme court, and

kill lawmakers. one member of congress called the briefing chilling. >> we're not going anywhere, mayor. >> reporter: so far the bure a has opened more than 170 cases across the country for those involved in storming the capitol. the potential charges range from trespassing and theft to felony murder. >> agents from our local field offices will be knocking on your door if we find out that you were part of the criminal activity at the capitol. >> reporter: over 70 people have been charged, and that number is expected to rise. >> regardless of if it was just a trespass in the capitol or if someone planted a pipe bomb, you will be charged, and you will be found. >> reporter: already under arrest, aaron mostofsky, the son of a brooklyn judge. he's seen here at the capitol wearing a police officer's ballistic vest and clutching an officer's riot shield. cleveland meredith jr. allegedly made threats and text messages against house speaker nancy pelosi. he was arrested in washington

with an assault rifle, a handgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and steroids. also allegedly seen in the crowd inside the capitol, five-time olympic medalist cleat kelly who appeared to be wearing a team usa jacket. there are shocking allegations that some members of congress aided the raid. democratic representative mikie sherrill from new jersey said she will work to hold those unnamed members accountable. >> those members of congress who had groups coming through the capitol that i saw on and what is a real sign of the times yesterday the joint chiefs of staff sent a memo to the military across the country reminding them their duty is uphold the constitution and c

confirming for them the next commander in chief will be the 46th president, joe biden. congressman adam kinzinger is one of a growing number of house republicans who publicly say they will vote to impeach the president. we spoke to him earlier. words because it victimizes donald trump again. what's changed in trump. we have 12 days left. is it worth it? but now president trump stepping out and claiming he bears no responsibility, i think in my mind, my conscience, and what i believe my job is, there's no way i can vote no on this. >> you're one of five republicans so far to have publicly said they'll vote for impeachment. how many more do you think there

are likely to be? >> i he don't want to get in the guessing game because i don't want to guess high or guess low. i will tell you, there will be more than us and i'm not sure what that means but i think it's certainly going to be notable. look, this is a moment where the base, the republican base, they feel left behind, they feel disaffected and right now they still believe donald trump is actually working on their behalf. in reality i think he's been, working against them since the election. but these are tough votes. but i believe it will be more than the five we've seen so far. >> what do you say to some of your fellow republicans who are arguing impeachment will only further divide the country? >> look, i guess i understand that point. and that's why i said, look, i think bringing it here isn't necessarily the right move but now that it's coming, what matters is you make a decision to protect and defend the constitution. the question is, did the president incite a riot against

an article 1 against the congress? yes, he did. should he be held responsible? i said in my statement, if this is not risen to the level of impeachment, i don't know what is. the bottom line is this, we talk all the time about young people who fight and die for this country. we do it with a tear in our eye. we speak of memorial day parades and should do all of that. but we have to be willing to give up our career for the same cause, even if it's a different form. this is one of those moments that transcends politics. >> congressman, have you personally received he threats about this vote? >> sure, yes. you do. are they serious or not? some are. some are put on i guess parler or twitter but i won't be intimidated. i'm not trying to sound like mr. tough guy, but if i'm going to be intimidated, i should leave this be jo and let somebody who won't be intimidated come here so i won't be. obviously, i'm a military guy. we live in the time right now where there are people that are willing to take violence to members of congress because of a

political view are 0 because they have been brainwashed some to the point to believe this is the end of their life in a democratic republic because they've been told that. >> congressman kinzinger, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> you bet. we have breaking news overnight from indiana where federal prison officials executed a woman for the first time in 17 years. 52-year-old lisa montgomery was put to death by lethal injection. she was convicted of killing a pregnant woman, removing her fetus and then pretend heing the surviving child was her own. the supreme court rejected efforts to rehear the case. montgomery's attorney asked for clemency saying severe child abuse left montgomery mentally ill. mont gomry is the 11th federal inmate put to death during the trump administration. the trump administration is releasing all coronavirus vaccine doses in the u.s. to help treat the maximum number of members and help cannot come

soon enough, more than 4,327 died yesterday, a new record. 3,000 used to be the record. they're giving shots all over the country after repeated criticism the vaccination drive is moving too slowly. carter evans is outside one of those new vaccination sites, state farm stadium near phoenix. carder, good morning to you. >> good morning. the home to the arizona cardinals is now a 24/7 vaccination site. let me show you how it, would. you register online first and the cars come over here and check in where you see the taillights. open the other side where the tents are, that's where you actually get the shot. you don't even have to get out of the car. more than 80, 00 people have already signed up in a state that's leading the nation in per capita cases and hospitalizations. cases and hospitalizations. >> hey -- >> how are you guys? >> reporter: at state farm stadium in glendale, arizona, the race is on to get as many people vaccinated as possible.

some 3,600 people got their covid-19 shots tuesday, including the site's volunteers like kevin ryan. >> i'm looking forward to the second dose, and for this thing to be over with. >> reporter: the goal -- eventually vaccinating 12,000 people a day. >> there are probably tears of joy when people get the vaccinations. >> there's been a lot of gratitude expressed. people are opening their windows and clapping. >> reporter: the site which is operating 24/7 opened monday, one day before the trump administration announced changes aimed at speeding up the slovaks rollout. >> every vaccine dose that is sitting in a warehouse rather than going into an arm could mean one more life lost. >> reporter: the government will now release all of its vaccine supply instead of holding back second doses. officials are now also instructing states to vaccinate every american 65 and older and adults with pre-existing conditions. and if states don't use up their doses quickly enough, they'll lose them. >> we have too much vaccine sitting in freezers at

hospitals. >> reporter: the federal government recommended putting health care workers at the front of the vaccination line which is why early doses were sent to hospitals. according to a report from the kaiser family foundation, 40 states are still in the very beginning of the first phase, 1a, of the vaccination effort. inoculating health care workers and people in long-term care facilities. florida residents adela and jim bradlee say they waited a total of almost 20 hours in line and were turned away three times before finally getting their chance. >> they were calling them the senior hunger games. yeah. >> reporter: still, the couple who are both this their 70s and high risk say it's worth it. >> now we have hope that we are able to go live a more normal >> vaccinations are appointments only. federal officials are also

giving the green light for vaccinations at more locations like drug stores and community health centers, places in low-income communities. >> let's get them out. thank you very much, carter. ahead, the escalating fight over wearing masks on capitol hill and who may be to blame for a new covid outbreak there? we will speak with one of the democratic lawmakers who tested positive just this

we have much more ahead. a cbs news investigation finds female veterans are suffering major health issues including cancer after serving at a remote base following 9/11. why they blame toxic conditions at that former soviet air base. plus, michigan's former governor is targeted in the criminal probe of the flint water crisis. that's coming up on "cbs this morning."

welcome back to "cbs this morning." a partisan fight in congress over covid and wearing masks has hit a new level. three democrats who just tested positive are condemning republican colleagues who refused to put masks on when sheltering from the assault on the capitol last week. the house voted last night to fine members who don't wear masks on the house floor. our lead national correspondent, david begnaud, has the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you know, during that vote to approve the new rule last night, more than 70 members of the house of representatives voted by proxy, they were not on the house floor. it was likely due to concerns

over coronavirus. one of those congresswomen was bonnie watson coleman from new jersey. she's 75. she's a cancer survivor. and she believes her republican colleagues are responsible for her contracting the coronavirus. here's why -- [ chants ] as rioters attacked the halls of congress, representatives were whisked away, led into the bowels of the capitol, and packed into secure rooms. that is where six republican representatives were seen refusing masks. even as they crowded together with other potentially vulnerable members of congress. members like representative bonnie watson coleman, a democrat from new jersey. she published this op-ed in the "washington post" blaming republicans in congress for giving her covid. the headline in the "washington post" reads, "i'm 75, i had cancer, i got covid-19 because my gop colleagues dismissed the facts." >> yeah. that's pretty much the truth. i didn't have it when i went

down there. and the most interaction that i had was in the holding room. >> reporter: other representatives in that room have also tested positive. illinois congressman brad schneider and washington representative pramila jayapal. jayapal was seen without a mask on. she said she was instructed to take it off so she could put on a gas mask seen here in this video. congresswoman, what would you say to your colleagues who weren't wearing masks? >> that i'm angry with you. that there ought to be consequences for you not wearing your mask because your right not to wear a mask does not supersede my right to be healthy and safe. >> reporter: now some good news -- the congresswoman is feeling well. she's at home. she says it feels like a cold right now and hopefully doesn't get worse than that. i should tell you, my team reached out to all six of those republican representatives who refused to wear a mask. we reached out multiple times, and they never responded to tell

us why they did it. there was a comment issued by the office of marjorie taylor green, the congresswoman from georgia. her office in part told cnn, and i want to read it, she does not believe healthy americans should be forced to muzzle themselves with a mask, closed quote. gayle, i don't know how a mask is a muzzle. >> i was just thinking, david, well, that's one way you could look at it. you could also look the other way of i just want to live, want others around me to live, too. thank you very much. thank you so much. cbs news has confirmed former michigan governor rick snyder is expected to be criminally charged in the flint water crisis. snyder who left office two years ago would be the highest ranking public figure to be charged. now this case focuses on a decision that left the city with lead contaminated tap water believed to have caused a leginnaires' disease outbreak that killed at least 12 people. adriana diaz has covered the crisis since 2014. she looks now at the next step

in this case. when the papers are in our hands and we can see the charges and the evidence, then we'll believe it. [ chants ] >> reporter: flint residents like melissa maize say they've been let down by the state too many times to be anything but skeptical. officials had been charged before. but the charges were dropped after a new attorney general wanted to re-examine the case, frustrating residents. >> we demand not ask for, we demand that some criminal charges be brought against those that was a part of that. >> reporter: the new investigation led to these latest charges which could implicate former governor rick snyder. he was in office when state-appointed managers switched the water supply to save money. but the water wasn't treated properly, allowing lead to leech from pipes. in a statement he said the attorney general's office needs a scapegoat after wasting five years on a fruitless investigation. charges are also expected against former public works director howard croft.

his attorney, jamie white, says he did nothing wrong. >> in order for everybody to lay their head down on their pillow when this is said and done, you know, we have to give these defendants a fair day in court. >> reporter: do these charges mean justice for you?u? >> no. justice to us means being able to be normal-ish, to be able to trust and know for a fact, scientific fact, tha soon. tony? >> thank you. i'm glad we're sticking with that story all these years later because the repercussions are still around. thank you very much. ahead, cbs news has an investigation finding many female veterans who served at an overseas base with toxic materials are facing serious

a six-month cbs news investigation has uncovered new information about some of the thousands of vicious who served at a remote base after 9/11. what we're learning is that female service members who passed through the k2 base are reporting high rates of reproductive health issues including cancers. u.s. troops there supported missions in nearby afghanistan. senior investigative

correspondent catherine herridge shows us the female vets' health struggles today. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. based on our earlier reporting, the acting secretary of defense, chris miller, drafted an executive order that would open the door to medical help and financial relief. the need is especially acute for women who served at the base. >> man, i'm trying to get through -- >> reporter: pouring through her own medical records, former army intelligence analyst elba barr is trained to connect the dots. >> there's been something marv since 2013 every year medical-wise. >> reporter: while barr deployed across the middle east in africa, after 9/11 to track al qaeda, there is no question in her mind the most toxic and dangerous place was this former soviet airbase in uzbekistan known as k2. a jumping off point for classified missions into afghanistan. >> k2 was to me a base that should have never been a base. hazards, signs everywhere of what the hazards were. >> reporter: the 41-year-old

mothers of two blames the four months at k2 for her chronic reproductive health issues. >> i had cervical issues, continued having severe pain, endometriosis, had to have a partial hysterectomy. last year i had both ovaries removed, and they found onset stage-one cancer. >> reporter: barr is one of more than 200 female k2 vets who flooded this facebook page. the nonprofit that tracks these cases says 40% self-report at least one miscarriage. 8% report breast or uterine cancers. 30% report ovarian cancer or related issues. data that brought barr to tears. >> that's horrifying. >> reporter: a cbs news investigation revealed soil saturated with jet fuel, oil and lubricants. radiation warnings, as well as prior use of chemical agents. defense department employee mike

letlitner was in charge of the base -- >> weaver heard the soviets there was a decontamination units adjacent to our camp. >> reporter: the base of a dumping grounds for used chemical weapons equipment. this protective gear including face masks to block chemical agents was found within walking distance of tent city where troops worked and slept. what was the impact of the cbs news investigation for you? >> life changing. i've spent the better part of ten years wondering am i going crazy. and so that's what's -- that's what did it. it validated a decade's worth of issues. >> reporter: barr is now speaking candidly with her children about her toxic exposure. >> i have no doubt i'm going to die young. you're assuming that i'm not. i live on borrowed time, 100%. it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. >> reporter: despite the data, the va does not recognize a link

between k2 and illness. barr wants leadership to step up. >> if you ask us, we'll do it again in a heartbeat. and all we are asking for is -- we upheld our end of the deal, and it's on the va and on the department of defense to hold up theirs. >> reporter: the executive order was in its final stages when the capitol was overrun by rioters last week. the k2 vets group is hopeful it will still get signed by president trump, though they are reaching out to the biden team in case there's no action before the 20th. tony? >> we'll hold up our end of the deal, to continue to shed light on stories like this one. catherine, thank you so much. next, vlad duthiers will be here bringing us "what to watch." the stories you'll likely be talking about. i don't know why we say likely, you will be

through this. >> sarah was reporting from the same los angeles hospital that we've showed you last week that's been overrun with covid cases. i've known sarah for a very long time. she's a bad you-know-what reporter, covered the syrian war, in the line of fire. i messaged her to talk about this. she didn't want the story to be about her as all good journalists, she understands the pain the families are going through. she also displayed one of the most important attributes a journalist can have and that's empathy. on display. >> objectivity -- >> yeah, but call her bad ass with a capital "b." >> thank you, gayle. >> covering things all over the world. i was so touched when i saw her yesterday. it shows once again reporters are human beings. >> exactly. >> we are human beings. when you see this over and over and over again, it does get to you. >> yeah. >> what were you going to say, tony? >> objectivity does not mean inhumanity. we are people. she's a person on tv -- you can't watch this and cover this every day and not be affected. >> and going into hospital after

hospital as she's been, the cumulative effect is devastating. >> indeed. yeah. we're with you, sarah. >> yes. terrifying video shows a snowboarder caught in an avalanche. this happened last week near loveland pass in colorado. maurice kervin said he looked up and saw a wave of fast-moving snow coming at him. he deployed his avalanche airbag in his backpack. when he started to feel his body being pulled under the snow, he was carried about 1,000 feet before he stopped. of course he is okay. but look at this video. >> wow. >> that's the avalanche happening behind him. at one point he turns around and sees all the snow coming. see that? >> yeah. >> reached for comment, he'll say, guaranteed, i can't wait to do it again. >> his only injury was a dislocated finger. >> stick to the puny hills, kervin. that's what i do. bunny hills of life. all right. imagine hopping in your car and flying to your destination like george jetson. i hope that reference is not very dated. george jetson. general motors just released this rendering of a futuristic flying cadillac. the single-seat vehicle takes

california, it was just announced that disney land will become a mass covid-19 vaccination site. i don't know if i trust my healthcare to a couple of mice and dogs and a duck without pants. the vaccine is free, but the water will set you back $23. >> me too. >> wherever i can get it, i'll get it. >> absolutely right. we're going to begin with this, today, donald trump is expected to become the first president in u.s. history to be impeached twice. the house will vote on one article of impeachment, incitement of insurrection, the number three house republican liz cheney will vote yes, saying this, never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states of his office and his oath to the constiof the co. four other republicans will join her, adam kinzinger, who we

spoke to earlier on "cbs this morning." >> looking at the impeachment article and knowing the president incited an insurrection, and now, you know, steps out and claims he bears no responsibility, i think in my mind at least in my conscience and what i believe my job is to no way to vote no on this. >> on the senate side, majority leader mitch mcconnell told associates impeachment could help republicans move past president trump. last night the house passed a resolution calling on vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment to remove the president. pence has refused, citing constitutional concerns and saying he feels it is not what is best for the country. >> a new cbs news poll out finds the country is split on impeaching the president for a second time. just 55% of americans are in favor of it. earlier we spoke with democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut. good morning to you. this thing seems to be a sure fire bet in the house, which means what happens in the senate

will determine whether there is actual removal for the president or other repercussions. the tantalizing question this morning is, where is mitch mcconnell, what are you hearing? is he -- does he support the house effort alone or is he a yes on impeachment himself in the senate? >> well, i don't know how mitch mcconnell is going to vote ultimately, but what i do know is that it is unclear whether we can actually have a peaceful transition of power, while donald trump is in office. he has done nothing substantive to try to tamp down those individuals who look like they're coming back to washington, to try to finish what they started last wednesday. and he has, i think, demonstrated absolutely no remorse for the incitement he engaged in. there is reporting now he had a chance to send a clear message early on in the assault on the capitol that his supporters should stand down. and he would not do that. i don't know what is impeachable conduct if this isn't. and all i care about right now

is making sure that we have a peaceful transition of power, that joe biden is sworn in, and right now it is unlikely that that can happen so long as donald trump is in office. i think there will be substantial republican votes for impeachment today and if that's the case, there might be substantial votes to convict in the senate. >> what does it mean for joe biden's agenda at this moment where we're facing a twin economic and health crisis, also, his appointments, they need confirmation as well. are you concerned they could be held up? >> well, you know, already we're going to have a gap with respect to leadership at the department of defense and the department of state. normally you would be having hearings right now on the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, and mitch mcconnell has chosen not to do that. we're blessed to have an incoming president who ran on a platform of reconciliation, of bringing people together. joe biden is uniquely made for this moment. yes, he's going inging to have quickly to get the vaccination

campaign back on track, to restart our economy, he is also someone who has done a good job over his career in bringing people together, of different ideologies and different beliefs and, boy, we're going to need that now more than ever. >> currently i'm aware of no republican senators who have said publicly that they are, yes, on impeachment, and those who have come out have said they're against it because of unity. now on the one hand that is a convenient way of not talking about donald trump anymore. on the other hand, we're talking about a very high alert on the capitol, unity is an issue, do they have a point? >> well, what i know is that countries that have experienced insurrections like the one that we went through last week, those that skipped the accountability phase, those that just excused who engaged in that violent act, those are the countries that don't recover. those are the countries that have a continued insurrection mounted against their country. sowe need to hold those that were responsible accountable and those were the individuals who stormed the building, but it is also president trump and his

enablers in congress. so we don't send a message to everyone that engaged in this act of -- that they are going to be held accountable for it. let's see what happens in the house today. there is a potential there will be substantial republican support for impeachment, especially if in the next couple days the president continues to say things like he did yesterday, that are just providing more fuel to those that are planning to come back and try to interrupt the inauguration. >> so let's talk about that fuel and talk about security. david martin just heard from a defense official who says the threat level at the capitol is, quote, very high, adding higher than has been reported in the press. and just yesterday you were told among other things that a bulletproof vest would be a reimbursable expense for senators. do you feel safe on capitol hill? >> i do feel safe on capitol hill. i plan to be at the inauguration. i think it is incredibly important that we show to the country and to the world that we

can transfer power peacefully in this country and we're going to do that. anybody who is intent on trying to interrupt that process on wednesday on the 20th is going to be stopped and they are going to be sent to jail for a very, very long time. yes, the threat level is high. we received briefing yesterday, but security at the capitol will be at an unprecedented level. and there is no way that the folks who got to the capitol on wednesday of last week will be able to get anywhere near the inauguration this time around. they will be stooped if they show up, i hope they don't. >> senator, we have got to go. i want to clarify one point, are you aware of any republican senators who are currently right now privately yes on impeachment? >> i am not aware of any senators right now who are yes. i know many of them are very open to voting to convict the president. i think they're waiting to see what the articles are and what the vote is today in the house of representatives. >> all right, senator chris

murphy, thank you very much. ahead, we talk with country music stars tim mcgraw and tyler hubbard. they tell us about their new song "undivided" that is out today and reflects on its unifying mes

in an exclusive interview, apple ceo tim cook is revealing new details about the racial equality initiative that the tech joint launched last summer after the killing of george floyd. the company is spending, listen to this number, $100 million to expand opportunities for communities of color and technology and entrepreneurship. cook and his vice president lisa jackson who heads the initiative

are building new learning centers and teaming up with historically black colleges and universities. other day, apple closed down part of a store here in new york city so we could talk with them at the company's headquarters, they're in silicon valley. let's start with the protepel center. how will it work? >> it is going to serve essentially the 100 or so hbcus across the u.s. it will have students that come there and so think of it as an innovation hub. and we'll work on things from coding to machine learning, to creativity, to entertainment arts. >> but you're focusing on the hbcus, morehouse, spelman, morehouse school of medicine, clark university. >> it is about giving people opportunity. i can't wait to see students that are able to enjoy the innovation hub, the propel center. >> what will they get there, tim? >> you're going to learn things about machine learning. you're going to learn things about coding. you're going to learn about entrepreneurship.

a lot of the things that we do here will be in the curriculum there. >> were you a good student, tim, when you were in school? >> you know, gayle, i tried to be. >> i'm going to take that as a yes. but go ahead. >> i tried to be. >> before she came to apple in 2013, lisa jackson served as president obama's epa administrator. now she's running all of the tech giant's environmental and social policy efforts. >> hbcus have a history of turning out the leaders in our community. propel center will be a place for all hbcu students and the surrounding community. it is a place for apple and other companies to plug in to the hbcu talent pool. we know that the talent is already there. we know these students are trying to do what every student does, propel themselves to a better future, and a better life. >> i like the word propel center because it makes me think off

like a rocket ship, i like that. >> i agree. the name propel center is exactly that. this is meant to be a little bit of wind under their sails. >> i'm excited about the city of detroit. >> detroit has 50,000 small businesses owned by black and brown people. there is a concentration of strivers in detroit who are trying to build their city back. and so we decided to bring to that area the first ever in the united states app developer academy. we do want to give some extra lift to black and brown developers. >> so a fantastic footprint there. we want to provide people a mechanism to learn to code, to learn how to write rural class apps. >> i understand there is an application process. what do you have to see on an application that makes you say, alexis, you're in? >> desire, creativity, a level of interest. you want to feel that desire of someone who really wants to make a go at this.

we have one program that is focusing on people that have not studied coding at all. >> do you think anybody can learn to code. it is so intimidating to me. do you think anybody can learn to do it? >> i do. >> can you do it? >> i can. i did it in school. once you start, you recognize that it is just another language. >> but apple isn't just building the next generation of minority tech entrepreneurs, it is also supporting today's visionaries, through a $10 million investment in harlem capital. that's a fund whose goal is to back a thousand companies founded by women or people of color in the next 20 years. tim, i want to know what is it about you that you even noticed or paid attention to systemic racism? is it the way you were raised? did you see it early? or what is it? >> clearly i think anybody that was alive in the periods of time i've been alive in the '60s and '70s and growing up in that period, you firsthand witnessed

it. when i was 5 years old, john lewis was beaten on the edmund pettus bridge. when i was 8 years old, the riots at stone wall happened. both of these changed the course of time and changed the course of my life as well. when you either experience those sort of things or read about those things, and then apply them to what you're seeing today, there was systemic racism, there is systemic racism, and it is not going to go away unless we do something about it. >> cook is speaking up about the current political situation as well. he was shocked by last week's violence in washington. >> it was a very, very sad and shameful day. probably like you i couldn't believe what i was seeing either. i felt like i was in some other form of reality or something. it really affects you here. i think it is key that people be held accountable for it. this is not something that should skate.

>> cook is holding accountable the social media app parler. it is popular with the far right. claiming it failed to remove language inciting violence from its platform, apple removed it from the app store over the weekend. effectively preventing anyone with an iphone from using it. >> parler has some issues with moderation. there are some incitement to violence examples on there and they need to step it up on the moderation. our hope is they do that and get back on the store. >> they could get back on the store? >> yes, we suspended them. we did not ban them. >> the ceo, as you know, he's raising issues about his right to the first amendment. what do you say about that concern? >> we have terms of service for our app store. and some of those terms of service he's in violation of. all we're asking, gayle, is that he meet the terms of service. >> i want to know your goals in 2021 for the company, for yourself, for the country.

>> for me, it is always the same, whether what year it is, it is to do as much as i can to help other people, and enrich their lives. that's apple's goal. for the country, i hope that we enter a stage in our country where we're back to bipartisanship. >> make no mistake about tim cook this is a man who cares deeply about his company, cares deeply about the country. he was very much affected by the senseless killing of george floyd that we all watched in real time. he put out a letter to employees at that time speaking about how he was feeling. he said we must do more, we have to create change, we have to re-examine our own views and actions in light of the pain. and to the black community, we see you, you matter, your lives matter. this is a way of making sure that he is heard. it is an amazing thing what they're doing at apple. >> major corporations like apple now are critical in driving change in this country. in many cases change is starting at a corporate level. >> yeah. he's leading that charge.

>> and i'm glad corporations are standing up. i would only point out that the government of this country led policies that created this ineqequality. >> we'e'll be rigight back.

so you can... retire better ♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time to bring you some of the stories that are "talk of the table" this morning. that's a tim mcgraw song if i'm not mistaken. who's going first here? >> me. i get to go first. talking about "vogue" and vice president-elect kamala harris. we talked about it briefly last week, but there story a lot of chatter. anna wintour, editor-in-chief of "vogue" magazine, is defending the cover photo of kamala harris in its february print issue. now the photo appears casual with kamala harris wearing a black jacket and her very familiar converse sneakers. these are sort of her trademark. some say this photo is too casual for such an historic

moment for the magazine and the country. the photo for "vogue's" digital cover shows harris in a more formal powder blue suit. in a statement to "the new york times," anna wintour said this, "this is absolutely not our intention to diminish the importance of the vice president-elect's incredible victory." she added that everyone at "vogue" felt very, very strongly that the less formal portrait of the vice president-elect reflected the moment that we're living in. win tour says the image is something that was very, very accessible and approachable, and really, really reflected the hallmark of the biden/harris campaign. she also says, there is important, that harris -- this is important, that harris chose her own outfit for the shoot. there was no formal agreement about the cover choice. "vogue" is considering using the more formal portrait in a second print edition. i think everybody's weighed in about which picture you like better. i like the blue picture better. i also understand the choice because the -- the tennis shoes are something that crkamala has talked about herself. >> eye signature for her. >> it is.

a signature. i'd be curious to see if she was offended by it. and, you know, anna wintour has taken heat recently from the black community about the lack of diversity. we should point out that everybody on the team, the photographer, vlad said this last week, the editor, author were all black. i not the last thing that anna wintour would want to do would be to fall out of favor again with the black community. but i thought robin gabbon said she felt that "vogue" was too familiar and nothing about this cover said "wow." sometimes it's all black women want and admire in celebratory wow over what they've accomplished. >> that really struck me, too. >> yeah. >> i totally understand that. >> that struck me, too, anthony, when i heard that. >> because pmy first reaction i this is kind of a striking picture because it's not a glamorous "vogue" shot. it makes you look. what is that but i understand the -- the reaction, as well. totally.

>> her whole life has been a wow, wow, wow. i think as evidence social security she is now our vice president-elect. i think -- it's sort of bothering me that anna wintour is getting so hammered because people are trying to imply maybe she did this intentionally. >> if you look at who took the picture and who wrote the article, the intention was obviously sincere. >> i would like to hear what kamala harris thinks, too. >> me, too. >> me, too, me, too. robin made a good point about sometimes all you want is a "wow." i've got a story about america's most expensive home which has just hit the market. it is 105,000 square feet and called "the one." in the exclusive l.a. neighborhood of bel air. the asking price -- hold your breath -- $340 million. >> geez. >> the estate has 21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, a night club, a showroom that fits 30 vehicles, five swimming pools. the extras, you need extra? include a four-lane bowling alley, a 30-seat movie theater,

and a hair and beauty salon. when they were building it there was talk of including tanks of live jellyfish. >> that was over the top. >> over the line. >> it's surrounded on three sides by a moat. it took eight years to build. who's going to buy it? i have i have no idea. with no earth day nances in -- ordinances in l.a. they'll never build something like this again. the developer said it's as rare as the mona lisa. so you can command whatever you want for it. >> it's not a house, a hotel. >> it's not even a hotel. i don't know what it is. >> my dream as a new yorker with houses was to have a house so big that you could have a room empty like a park. you can bring things in but got to take them out at the end of the day. that house is big enough. >> whoever buys it, we would like to talk to hem. >> i'd like to visit. >> we would like to talk to them. i got a little bit of breaking news here. not news-news. not capitol-end news but interesting news. the presidential inaugural

committee has a new announcement morning. called "celebrating america," which will be airing live next wednesday at 8:30 p.m. eastern. so the evening after joe biden and kamala harris are inaugurated. it's going to be hosted by tom hanks, jon bon jovi, demi lovato, justin timberlake will have a part. airing on cbs but also abc, cnn, nbc, msnbc. there's a notable network missing from the list. and it's being described as a showcase of the american people's resilience, heroism, and unified commitment to coming together as a nation to rebuild and heal. >> i like that. so fox isn't going to run it, but everybody else is -- >> i do not see fox's name on the list. >> probably still developing. a great lineup and great purpose. all about unity. a new song by two familiar faces is also about. it's coming out today. country music legend tim mcgraw with 17 number-one albums teamed up with tyler hubbard, one half

of the chart topping duo florida georgia line, the result -- a song perfectly made for this moment in america. mcgraw and hubbard spoke with us from a recording studio in nashville. ♪ i think it's time to come together you and i can make a change ♪ ♪ maybe we can make a difference make the world a better place ♪ >> "undivided," a plea for understanding and unity, a collaboration between country superstars tim mcgraw and tyler hubbard. ♪ undivided ♪ >> it looks like you guys had a very good time making this record. >> we did. for multiple reasons. i think we were both excited to be out of the house and be in the studio. >> it felt almost spiritual to us when we were singing this song. it was something that was -- really motivating. >> it began during hubbard's bout with the coronavirus in early november. tyler, you wrote this while you were in quarantine. >> yeah, i was quarantined on my tour bus when i had covid.

i brought the tour bus to the house and parked it in the driveway and stayed there for 12 days. and wrote about ten songs. >> what sparked this song? >> i think it just kind of checking in with my heart and where it was at. you know, the climate of our culture right now and our country. i don't know, to be honest. it just felt like a message that i wanted to say and that felt like needed to be heard. not only by the fans but even by myself i think. i think it was something that was a reminder to me. >> what made you send it to tim? >> i kind of was hearing tim the whole time. i just know he's a great guy with a great heart. >> my first question to him was, all right, what are we going to do with this song, how are we going to do it, when are we going to do it because it needs to be done right now. >> they went into the studio before the holidays. you obviously didn't know what was going to be happening at the capitol in the beginning of january. but your timing couldn't have been better. >> well, last week when i heard the news about the capitol and sad as i was, i thought, man, i thought we needed this message

last year. and i didn't think we could need it any more than we needed it last year. apparently we do. >> the capitol thing was something i don't know that i've processed well enough to even put into words yet, it was so sad. so profound and something that i never thought that i would ever see in this country. but the song, it speaks to more of the social contract that we have with each other. it's not about politics. it's about how we're supposed to treat each other. >> a terribly sad day for america, mcgraw wrote on twitter. a terribly sad day for leadership. hubbard had been deeply affected by the death of george floyd last spring. racism is real in 2020, he wrote, but doesn't have to be our future. both artists are outspoken on social media. it can be tricky for musicians. how do you decide to sort of walk that line? >> very carefully. >> i think if we get into every

nitty-gritty political policy or this or that, then yeah, you're going to find plenty of areas to disagree or cause divisions. it's tough to navigate at times, and you definitely can't make everybody happy. but for me, if i'm just living in my truth and speaking my truth i love, that's all i can do. ♪ no you got mountains to climb always stay humble ♪ >> like tyler said, if you get into every little detail of every little thing, certainly there's going to be more problems. no matter what your political points of view are. it's more about how you talk to each other. if there's a lesson, if you use your thumbs less and -- and use your mouth more, you might be in better shape. ♪ if it's meant to be it will be it will be baby just let it be ♪ >> hubbard and his florida georgia line bandmate brian kelly have often had different views on politics. just after the election, hubbard

briefly unfollowed him on instagram. >> the way i worded it to him when i called him and told him that i unfollowed him, not to take it personally. i said, buddy, i love you as i brother, i love you a lot more in reality. > not in this made-up reality of my cell phone. i don't want to see every sing thing you're posting at this moment. that's to continue to unite us as opposed to divide us. >> some people thought you'd broken up. >> some people think a lot of things. >> we're not breaking up. >> earlier this month the duo released this video on twitter to quell the rumors. >> we just want to keep it real with you guys. >> did you decide between the two of you how you're going to deal with politics? >> we hadn't really had that conversation. i don't know -- i don't know -- we're going to deal with it like we always have and sort of not let it run our life, you know. even though he's wrong, and i tell him he's wrong all the time. we're still healthy about it. ♪ we've been hateful long enough may the good lord reunite us to
