7:01 am
up, plus to the new methods some businesses are using to get employees vaccinated. and our investigation into why a crackdown on unemployment fraud is hurting thousands of people who need help the most. first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> the house demonstrated that no one is above the law. not even the president of the united states. >> reporter: the house votes to impeach president trump for an historic second time. >> reporter: ten republicans joined democrats voting in favor of impeachment. >> i am not choosing a side. i'm choosing truth. >> george washington owned slaves. where does this stop? >> reporter: in a video statement released on the white house's twitter account, president trump said he condemned the violence at the capitol. >> it angered and appalled millions of americans. >> reporter: a remarkable scene at the u.s. capitol. >> reporter: thousands of national guard troops in washington ahead of the inauguration. >> we have asked americans not to come to the washington, d.c.,
7:02 am
event. >> rporter: efforts to increase the number of people getting vaccinated are currently under way. >> reporter: people lined up in disneyland in california. >> we will be able to vaccinate over 7,000 people each day. >> reporter: onetime presidential candidate andrew yang is running for office again. >> reporter: yang announced his candidacy for mayor of new york. all that -- >> hockey is officially back. opening night of the nhl season >> and all that matters. >> cbs news has learned up to 20,000 national guard troops could be deployed to protect washington. that is four times as many troops currently in iraq and afghanistan. >> the united states is known for sending in troops to prop up failed states. hopefully we'll greet ourselves as liberators. on "cbs this morning." >> secretary of state mike pompeo just had to cancel his final trip abroad after top european leaders refused to meet with him. i guess now finally he'll understand what life's been like for all of us these past ten
7:03 am
months. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. >> very dicey times in this country. we welcome you to "cbs this morning." less than a week before president trump leaves office, he has earned the distinction of being the only president who has been impeached twice. the impeachment story is splashed across newspapers' front pages nationwide. it's the headline everywhere after the house accused the president of incitement of insurrection. ten republicans broke ranks joining all the democrats to vote yes. no house republicans voted to impeach the president last time. >> house speaker nancy pelosi has signaled she will send the article of impeachment to the senate for trial quickly, although it has not arrived as of this morning. nancy cordes covered yesterday's historic debate on capitol hill. nancy, good morning to you. what happens now? >> reporter: well, tony, the senate's republican leader, mitch mcconnell, says he will not bring the senate back early for a trial. it's expected to return midweek
7:04 am
next week which means that that phase will only get under way in earnest once president trump has left office and democrats have taken control of the senate. it would take a two-thirds majority in the senate to convict president trump and prevent him from ever running again. in a letter to his republican colleagues wednesday afternoon, leader mcconnell said, "i have not made a final decision on how i will vote, and i intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the senate." >> those in favor say aye -- >> reporter: those arguments will likely sound a lot like what we heard in the house as members voted to impeach president trump in the same chamber where they cowered in fear one week ago. >> there must be consequences for last week's treason and sedition. >> the attack on the capitol and the congress was the single most depraved betrayal of the u.s. constitution ever committed by a president. >> reporter: all the democrats voted to impeach, plus ten
7:05 am
republicans, including a party leader, a new member, a staunch conservative, and moderates like washington state's stan newhouse. >> it was a domestic threat at the door of the capitol, and he did nothing to stop it. >> reporter: afterwards, house speaker nancy pelosi spoke at the lectern that had been recovered after a rioter swiped it last week. >> the house demonstrated that no one is above the law, not even the president of the united states. >> we're going to walk down to the capitol -- >> reporter: the sole article of impeachment accuses the president of inviting an -- inciting an insurrection last wednesday that killed five people and put his own vice president in harm's way. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob. >> reporter: republican leader kevin mccarthy agreed the president was to blame, but -- >> i believe impeaching the
7:06 am
president in such a short time frame would be a mistake. >> reporter: others argued mr. trump didn't deserve the punishment. >> if we impeached every politician who gave a fiery speech to a crowd of partisans this capitol would be deserted. >> what's being debated is whether with 167 hours left until he leaves office is he a clear and present danger. and he clearly isn't. >> resolution is adopted. >> reporter: they were outnumbered, and now the resolution goes to the senate for a trial that could start late next week. in a statement after the vote, president-elect biden said that he hopes the senate will carry out its impeachment responsibilities while also working on the other urgent business of this nation. by urgent business he means confirming his cabinet and addressing his agenda. but at best the senate will only be able to devote half days to that duty.
7:07 am
the other half of the day will be working on this trial. something that could last a couple of weeks, anthony. >> nancy, thank you. the president responded to the house vote with a five-minute video that did not mention impeachment. again, he took no responsibility for last week's assault on the capitol by thousands of his supporters, but he told them not to do it again. >> mob violence goes against everything i believe in and everything our movement stands for. no true supporter of mine could ever threaten or harris their fellow americans. if you do any of these things, you are not supporting our movement, you're attacking it. >> paula reid's at the white house. paula, what else is the president saying? >> reporter: good morning. this was the president's strongest condemnation of last week's deadly attack on the u.s. capitol. but again, it came nearly a week after the fact, and as he is facing criticism from members of his own party.
7:08 am
in the video the president revealed that he has been briefed by the u.s. secret service on other threats across the country. now, this video was posted to one of the official white house twitter accounts. it's one of the few social media platforms still available to the president who has been banned from several other media outlets this past week. now, he appears in the video to be trying to shift the conversation from last week's violence to what he alleges are effo efforts to censor people. it's important to note he recorded this video yards from the white house briefing room where he can broadcast around the world at a moment's notice. moving into impeachment proceedings, right now it's unclear who is going to represent the president. his previous legal team, white house counsel and his personal attorney jay sekulow, they say they will not be representing him this time around. >> we are fortunate to bring in chief washington correspondent
7:09 am
major garrett to help us understand what's going on capitol hill. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> the president stirred up doubt and anger, whipped up his supporters to fight like hell, storm the violence. what's his calculation? >> it's to try to preserve what remains of his legacy as president so it's incinerated before the public's eyes by second round of -- of violence perpetrated by his own supporters. mayhem, vandalism and violence. the president said he's been briefed. this city is completely on edge, more so than any inauguration or preparations for inauguration i've covered since 1993. the sense of threat is very real, not just in this nation's capitol, but in capitols around the country and that's because of what you said, the president has stirred up and continued to incite for weeks upon weeks upon weeks, and he has got to try to find some way to get control
7:10 am
over that if he can. and if he doesn't, all of the blame will be on him and his supporters and by extension the republican party. and republican leaders in washington are imploring the president, do whatever you can to tamp this down. if you can. and that's where we are. >> let's talk about those leaders in the senate. the president has been impeached, it would now take 17 senators in the senate to convict and remove him from office, or censor him since he'll already be gone, are there 17 senators who can do that and mitch mcconnell has said he'll consider it. >> 17 republican senators on top of 50 democrats would be assumed to vote for removal from office. but as you said he'll be out of office, all about the things you would hold after being president and could you ever run again, those are real threats to donald trump and former president trump, which he will soon be and all of this, i'm told, tony, is about the majority leader mitch mcconnell signaling to the president, this is a live option, this is a real threat to
7:11 am
you, and your post-presidency could be severely limited, not only in whether you could run again but all the emoluments that come with it, the benefits you get as former president if you don't stay within the guardrails, in the remaining time you have in the white house, and do everything you can to prevent a second round of violence. this is the majority leader's way of saying to the president i've made up my mind, this is a live thing for you and you better take it seriously. and i know that republican leaders will take every single utterance they can get from this president, video or otherwise, to try to tamp this down. >> major, a lot of people are expecting the biden administration to come in with congress in their control, and pass things to help the american people. how does impeachment upset that agenda? >> impeachment is real, it's an institutional response to an attack on congress by the executive branch. joe biden knows that as an institution congress cannot ignore that attack, it had to do something. impeachment was the remedy chosen by house democrats. the senate will have to have a trial. what he can hope for is that the
7:12 am
senate do walk and chew gum at the same time, do two things at once, confirm his cabinet appointees, start considering legislation and conduct the impeachment trial. let's be honest the impeachment trial is not that heavy a lift. everyone saw what happened, everyone can make a judgment about what the president said and how that related to the violence ha occurred at the u.s. capitol. it's not a complicated case. it won't take that much time. incoming biden administration knows that, knows it has to be done and know it also has important work for the country to deal with that will start in the house, and once it gets to the senate the biden administration will push the senate to do two things at once, do the trial and the confirmations. >> thank you very much. >> sure. >> exhausted by it all. thank you very much, major. the fbi is warning police across the country about possible attacks on state capitols ahead of inauguration day. the nation's capitol already is on high alert for more potential violence between now and january 20th. jeff pegues is outside the u.s. capitol surrounded by armed national guard troops.
7:13 am
jeff, the pictures, i think, are troops laying, sleeping on the capitol floor, and surrounding the capitol to protect us against us. good morning to you. >> reporter: in many ways it looks like a fortress up here, the security perimeter around the capitol is growing this morning and will continue to grow in the coming days. even as i keim here this morning there were more street closures and in addition to the street closures you will see more members of the national guard arriving, up to 20,000 by the time inauguration rolls around. with less that a week, the capitol surrounded by fencing. thousands of troops, some armed, guarding capitol hill, many spotted resting in between shifts protecting lawmakers, a stark contrast from a week ago in security levels not seen here since the civil war.
7:14 am
meanwhile, the fbi is investigating coordination among attackers, videos from last week show people acting together to breach the capitol and attack police. including this line of men moving up the steps, wearing military-style vests and helmets. the fbi continues to chase down new threats. a memo obtained by cbs news says large caches of weapons like this one have been recovered from suspects' homes, and that police should consider use of s.w.a.t. techniques when arresting protesters who were photographed wearing body armor. and more than 30 members of congress are requesting an investigation after witnessing an extremely high number of outside groups in the complex on tuesday, january 5. writing in a letter to authorities "this is unusual for several reasons including the fact that access to the capitol complex has been restrictioned since public tours ended in march due to the pandemic."
7:15 am
they added "tours were reported to the sergeant as arms an january 5th," comes as threats for more violence -- describes itself as a never ending rally dedicated to president trump. filled with comments like round two on january 20th. this time no mercy. trump will be sworn in for a mer" trump will be sworn in for a p. anthony? >> jeff, thanks. you sure have to take them seriously. the pace of covid vaccinations is accelerating. mass vaccination centers like this one at disneyland are being set up. the cdc says more than ten million americans have now been
7:16 am
vaccinated with more than a million shots administered just yeterday. that's far below the roughly two million daily 7,500 people every day and started yesterday. thousands of people living in orange county, california, lined up at the disneyland vaccine supersite yesterday. 3,000 shots of the vaccine made it into people's arms on the site's first day being open. newly eligible seniors could barely contain their excitement and their gratitude, too. like 65-year-old lynn murray. >> they did such a great job in helping all these people get what we need right now. >> get your qr code ready -- >> reporter: but not everyone
7:17 am
had a smooth experience. overwhelming demand actually crashed the county's registration system. it is a similar story in states like florida. hundreds of seniors there drove to this vaccine site in desoto only to be told that 200 doses were available. >> i've been on websites, on the phone, experiencing the normal frustrations that many have expressed. >> reporter: with the recent changes to the hhs vaccination recommendations, 152 million americans are now eligible for vaccination. but operation warp speed estimates it will take until the end of march to acquire enough vaccines to immunize 100 million americans. the loss of life from the pandemic continues to be unimaginable. >> i'm sorry. >> reporter: and few see the death toll up close like ken mckenzie. >> the next appomeppointment is until friday. >> reporter: he says there are
7:18 am
so many people dying that families are being forced to wait weeks to have a funeral and burial. >> not only are they crying that they've lost someone, but they're then crying because they're on hold that we're not having a service for three weeks. so imagine waiting three weeks and carrying that emotion each take over next week. tony? >> relief sound good to me. thank you so much. ahead, thousands in california cannot access their own unemployment money. anna werner finds out why a

himself and his daughter. how do you feel about edd and the bank of america right now? >> betrayed. let down. that i'm not important, that i'm just a set of digits. >> reporter: and it's not just arceo. tens of thousands of unemployed californians have had their accounts frozen. the problem -- the pandemic caused millions of people to apply for benefits, overwhelming the system. criminals then exploited it. some used prisoners' names including convicted killer scott peterson's, to steal over $400 million. prosecutors charged one woman with masquerading as u.s. senator dianne feinstein to get money. even a rapper bragged in a youtube video about making off with state unemployment funds. ♪ i got rich off the edd ♪ >> reporter: that's before he was charged with fraud. he pled not guilty. california state senator scott weiner -- >> it's a complete disaster, and it's a disaster that is deeply

8:01 am
he's earned the distinction of being the only president who has been impeached twice. would take a two-thirds majority in the senate to convict president trump and prevent him from ever running again. >> the president's strongest condemnation so far after the attacks last week on the u.s. capitol, it came nearly a week after the fact, facing criticism from members of his own party. >> what is this calculation here? >> his calculation, quite simply, tony, to try to preserve what remains of his legacy as president, so it is not incinerated before the public's eyes by second round of violence. >> california's ready, they're doing it now, vaccinating people 6 a5 and older. >> after aging in space for more than a year, spacex is now bringing a case of bordeaux wine back to earth. >> what? >> yeah. elon musk, too much money. that's it now, he's using outer
8:02 am
space as a wine cellar. i did hear the wine tastes out of this world. >> yeah, you heard the -- >> earth can use all the wine they can get at the moment. you can say it is important. >> yeah. >> that is a very good grade a anthony mason right there. >> we're going to begin with this, the reason for all the wine, u.s. senate faces a new impeachment trial for president trump now that he's the first u.s. president to be impeached twice. house democrats joined by ten republicans voted to accuse mr. trump of incitement of insurrection. the last week's assault on the capitol. >> the white house released this video after the president was impeached. he condemned the violence we saw on capitol hill last week, but did not mention the historic house vote. he also denounced what he called the unprecedented assault on free speech we have seen in recent days. nancy cordes covered the house debate on capitol hill, so,
8:03 am
nancy, where do we go from here? >> reporter: well, anthony, where we go is into just the fourth senate impeachment trial of all time, the last one got under way just about a year ago today. who can forget that experience? the next one won't get started in earnest until next week at the very earliest because yesterday senate republican leader mitch mcconnell announced he was not going to be bringing the senate back early for this trial. that means they won't be back in session until president trump's last day in office, which is january 19th. that all but guarantees that this trial is not going to wrap up until well into the biden administration. yesterday, lawmakers in the house debated for more than three hours over whether the president incited last week's capitol assault that left several people dead. in the end, the vote was 232-197 in favor of impeachment. ten republicans sided with the
8:04 am
democrats this time, making this the most bipartisan impeachment in modern u.s. history. speaker nancy pelosi signed the article of impeachment shortly after the vote, she was flanked by her impeachment managers, she actually named them before the vote which shows just how fast democrats want to send this impeachment article to the senate. now, you might be asking if president trump is going to be out of office by the time this senate trial really gets under way, what's the point? well, the point is that if two-thirds of the senate votes to convict, he would be ineligible to run for higher office again. at this point, he's just a one-term president. if he wanted to, he could run again in 2024. gayle? >> all right, nancy, thank you very much. more than 30 lawmakers are demanding an investigation into what they call suspicious activity on capitol hill one day before the attack. in a letter to security leaders, they say this, they quote witnessed an extremely high number of outside groups in the
8:05 am
complex on tuesday january 5th. and the visitors, quote, appeared to be associated with the rally at the white house the following day. the acting house and senate sergeant at arms and the capitol police did not return a request for comment from us. virginia democratic congresswoman abigail spanberger signed that letter and joins us now to discuss. congresswoman, thank you so much for joining us. you know, it was so disturbing and upsetting to see police officers taking selfies, at one point they seemed to be opening barricades and doors to say right this way, fellas. so it was just really tough to watch those vigils. you signed the letter, what concerns you most, what did you see if anything? >> well, i want to start with one of the most heart wrenching things i saw, which is while there are disturbing photos of some of capitol police officers taking selfies and opening doorways, i was trapped in the gallery as these insurrectionists were trying to breakthrough and i saw capitol police officers barricading the
8:06 am
door with tables and benches, desperately trying to keep them out, desperately trying to protect the lives of those inside, myself included. and i'm forever grateful. and in the leadup to january 6th, what i witnessed was members of the public, people who had no business being in the capitol, during the shutdowns that we have because of the pandemic milling about in the office buildings. and so just notably since march because of covid-19, the building has been closed to the public, so it is easy to note when there is a real departure from that. and on the day before the insurrectionist attack, there were people in the building where i work, i noticed them when i was coming back from the capitol, just people milling about in the halls, dressed in apparel that they were presumably in town for the event that they ultimately attended. and so it was notable and
8:07 am
certainly concerning, you know, initially from a pandemic perspective, but ultimately because of the insurrectionist attack. >> it is terrifying the more we see, the more we hear. i'm sorry you had to go through that. your democratic colleague said she believes some of the people had help from some of your fellow colleagues, some of your fellow congress people. do you believe that's the case? >> so that would be the only way that these individuals would have entered the building, i have been told that they entered with members of congress. notably some of the challenges that exist is that members of congress have a lot more liberties when it comes to walking around the capitol, when it comes -- and understandably so, but even during a shutdown period because of the pandemic, it was limited to staff, but members of congress are able to bring people in, we do have the -- i guess they give us the courtesy of whoever we deem can come in despite the closures.
8:08 am
they allow it. or certainly don't argue back. so the way that these individuals would have entered the capitol in the first place would have been with a member of congress, making that possible. >> the letter has been signed by more than 30 democrats, but so far no republicans have signed the letter to my knowledge. have any of them expressed any of their concerns about that to you, either privately? >> so in the larger discussion of all that has been happening with the domestic violence skremskrem i extremists who waged an attack on our capitol, i don't know they are or not thinking about it privately, but it hasn't risen up to the level of a discussion at this point that i have had with any of my republican colleagues. we have been focused on the articles that were brought forth yesterday, and their intent on how they would be voting. >> and what did you make of the president's comments yesterday? a week ago was telling the crowd fight like hell, we'll go to the capitol, i saw interviews with people in the crowd,
8:09 am
congresswoman, going, they thought president trump, some of them were leading them. yesterday he says mob violence goes against everything i believe, everything this movement stands for, no true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence. what do you make of that? do you think his supporters believe him when he says that now? >> those comments i think are arguably two months too late if not four years too late. this is a president, who after the horrific events in charlottesville said there were both people -- good people on both sides after a woman was killed in an attack and there were literal nazis walking through the streets, chanting anti-semitic slogans. this is time and time again when he's had the chance to denounce violence, when he's had the chance to dial back his rhetoric, he hasn't done so. and it has created a space for these domestic violence extremist groups to really take hold and it has created a space for conspiracy theories to begin
8:10 am
to really take root in our society. so-so much of what he's done with this notion of stopping the steal and frankly so many of my colleagues who didn't stand up against that, and say this is the truth, the truth is vice president biden is now president-elect biden. >> i think everybody has that message now, congresswoman. do you feel safe on capitol hil? right now? >> i'm grateful -- i'm grateful for the security forces that are there. i'm grateful to all of the members of the national guard who have been deployd including many virginians. but i think it is an evolving process. and we're going to see into the future what changes permanently may need to be made and certainly this is a long-term challenge addressing domestic violent extremism in our country is something that we're going to need to take seriously. and anyone who didn't get the message, my goodness, on january 6th, my -- i implore you to recognize this is a long-term threat that we all need to be united in fighting against. >> congresswoman spanberger, five people lost their lives,

vaccinated. dollar general employs more than 157,000 people across 46 states. many of them working inside stores during the pandemic. linkedin polled its users to see if they think employees should make vaccinations mandatory. 46% say yes, 40% say no, 13% are unsure. jessi hempel is linkedin's senior editor at large. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> you think other companies are going to follow dollar general's lead on this? >> i think there's no question that we're going to see companies start to speak up and talk about the incentives that they're going to use to try to encourage their employees to get vaccinated, absolutely. >> what do you think -- what's the debate inside corporations at this point? because the issue of do you make it mandatory because you want everybody in your work force to be safe? what are they talking about? >> i think that you've actually hit on the tension here. i mean, there is pressure to make it mandatory.
8:19 am
certainly, i was surprised that so many members of linkedin's community thought it was a good idea. nearly half of the people who weighed in said, yes, do make it mandatory. of course, companies know that if they make it mandatory, which they can legally do, they risk alienating and further polarizing their employees. so the balance here is to provide the incentive that's are going to encourage them to do the right thing in the name of science for public health while also allowing them to feel that they are making the decision. >> what responsibilities do corporations, the companies, businesses have to help their employees get vaccinated at this point? >> well, businesses are in such a unique position because they are leaders in culture and society. and so the responsibilities are definitely to their employees. but when dollar general makes a statement like they made yesterday, it's reported on national news. here we are talking about it on television because it also sends a really important message to society, to the employee base but also their customer base and the communities in which they do business. >> in so many ways companies are
8:20 am
actually -- have been leading during this in terms of encouraging, you know, stores telling people you got to wear a mask which governments aren't doing. >> i think about that all the time because if you look at what trust has done in our society over the last couple of decades, you've seen trust plummet in institutions like the media, like governmentnt. and yet people trust businesses more and more and more. they're looking to businesses rightly or wrongly for messages about how they should behave and should treat each other. businesses have a unique opportunity right now to step up and be leaders here. >> it's also in their interest, is it not, if you want your work force back and in many cases they need to be back, and to be safe. >> oh, no question. no question. business as usual is not going to happen until people are vaccinated, until people are through this pandemic, and that is not going to happen until we get that vaccination rolled out as quickly as possible. and i so wish that it would be happening more quickly. the truth is it's going to be a long time from here.

this is going to be a slow process even when we do start to go back to our offices, we're going to be using the kind of protocols with social distance and masks that we see today. >> you mention that there is this conversation going on about whether to make it mandatory or not. and the incentives is a better idea. but obviously businesses are going to want to move quickly on this once things start to turn. what's the conversation, the friction and the conversation then at this moment? >> i think that what i'm seeing in conversations on linkedin is questions about the vaccine. we know a lot about the vaccine. we know the vaccine protects you. we want to know more about what the vaccine does for the community of people in the office. as you know, it is unresolved yet whether or not -- research doesn't tell us whether you can still pass covid even if you don't get covid. so i think that businesses are going to need to wait to let some of that be further understood before they bring
8:22 am
people back en masse. i think also what i'm seeing in conversations on linkedi is that people buy and large even though they don't want their employees to mandate this, they're really asking for their employees to encourage this. people are not going to feel safe. at least they're telling us that on linkedin, until they feel like most of the people, in fact all of the people that they're going to work with have gotten the vaccine. >> jessi hempel of linkedin, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. ahead in our "a more perfect union" series, how a father went to extraordinary lengths to help his daughter overcome a safety challenge with her wheelchair. that's coming up on "cbs this morning."

8:31 am
unemployment amid the recession. he spent 28 years at cbs news. when ray retired in 2000, current cbs news president andrew hayward hailed his powerful sense of integrity, his genuine interest in the people he met along the way, and his unflagging passion for the next story. andrew also said that ray brought wall street home to main street with grace, humor, and wisdom. he did all of those things, and i know very well he good he was because i had to succeed him. >> oh, boy, anthony. >> when ray retired. a lovely guy. ray brady was 94 years old. >> i remember watching him. mine is about kindness. one of my favorite words. we know a little kindness can go a long way. this from a young girl from montana. she was very upset after watching the assault on the capitolment so what did she do? ten-year-old emma jablonski watched the rioting on to have. she was very upset of the image of the police officer crushed
8:32 am
against the mob by the doorway yelling for help. she wrote a letter and her mother posted it. it said "i hope you heal from being crushed. those people are really bad hurting you, i hope you and your family are nice and healthy." they were able to contact the officer, daniel hodges. he then thanked emma on zoom for her kind words. >> thank you so much for this -- it means a lot to me and to all the officers out there who worked that day. thank you. how are you doing? >> i'm doing well. are you okay? >> yeah. yeah. i'm doing all right all things considered. >> i just love this story. emma said she never thought that the voice of a little girl from montana would be heard all the way in washington. officer hodges says he's a little banged up. he has headaches that won't quit. but he wants to get back -- it struck me that emma, number one, she noticed the number on his helmet was 4518. i hadn't noticed that.
8:33 am
i was so focused on his words and anguish. and when you hear donald trump say that no true supporter of mine could ever disrespect law enforcement or great american flag, cut to officer 4518 who we now know is daniel hodges. look at the video of some of the officers being dragged up and wasn't with the american flag. >> that's right. >> but this little girl reached out because she wanted him to know that she cared. as all of us do when you look at the images. love this story. >> well done. >> it was wonderful. >> well done, emma jablonski from montana. well done. i'm talking about footwear. >> there's a transition. >> i wear leather sneakers here on set. some people love them. >> i do love them. >> there are zuviewers who find them unbecoming for an anchor person. i get notes. >> you're amazed they're looking at your shoes. >> there they are right there. now, with those viewers in mind who don't like what i'm currently wearing, i have an alternative that's been spotlighted by bloomberg. a new sneaker from jimmy chu.
