> i think wewe still havave dark weeks ahead. >> reporter: the u.s. is quickly approaching 400,000 deaths from covid-19. >> what we're looking at is a relentless strike from this virus heading into the spring. >> reporter: phil spector, the eccentric and revolutionary music producer, who was later convicted of murder has died. all that -- >> 72 tennis players are quarantined for the australian open. >> positive covid-19 cases were confirmed on the charter planes and all that matters -- >> brady throws, pass caught, evans touchdown. >> the tampa bay buccaneers will play the green bay packers. >> tom brady and drew brees cap off a wild divisional round in the nfl. on "cbs this morning." >> dr. martin luther king jr. day is upon us. >> some say carrying out mlk's legacy is more important than ever right now. >> we will not be judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character. i have a dream today. [ cheers ] this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle

insurance. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." a lot of people are still dreaming. it's so interesting that mlk's birthday and celebrating his life comes on this particular week after all that's going on in this country. we need a reminder of who we really are, i think. >> that is the question before us -- who are we? >> who are we is the question everybody's asking. we're going to begin with that question because america is two days away from the inauguration. but the mood in washington, you could say, is tense, very sense, it looks like a military zone near the capitol with tall fencing and up to 25,000 national guard troops expect by wednesday. the national mall and many streets are closed amid concerns about the potential domestic terror threat from right-wing extremists. >> a new cbs news poll includes a startling figure -- 54% of americans say the biggest threat to america's way of life is other people in america. jeff pegues is inside a restricted area of washington. jeff, good morning.

>> reporter: good morning, >> two days before inauguration day and security in theski is locking down and that includes the vetting of the security force in place. it is a massive law enforcement presence. and it's saying don't come into the city right now. why would you? the buildings are all boarded up, and the roads are shut down. new video published by the "new yorker" shows rioters pouring through a window into a hallway of the capitol on january 6th. [ chants ] there they told police why they say they were in the building. they eventually gained access to the senate chamber. >> let's take a seat -- >> reporter: some were searching for lawmakers. >> we're going to [ bleep ] -- >> reporter: on the senate floor they rifled through papers looking for valuable information.

>> i think we're good. >> and posed for photos. >> i love you guys, you're brothers. we can't be disrespectful -- >> don't disrespect -- >> reporter: seen in the video is air force veteran larry brock which was carrying plastic zip ties that can function as makeshift handcuffs. >> it's a p.r. war, it's an io war, we can't lose the io war. >> reporter: brock has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building and violent entry and disorderly conduct on capitol grounds. brock is one of at least 22 current or former members of the u.s. military or law enforcement who have been identified as being at or near the riot. that's according to the "associated press" which also reports the defense officials fear a possible inside attack at the inauguration. david martin has asked general daniel hokanson, the chief of the national guard bureau, about any internal concerns.

>> are you worried at all about the reliability of your national guard troops? >> absolutely not. >> have you been screening some of the troops as they come in? >> yes, sir. in coordination with the secret service and the fbi, they're screening all the personnel that are coming in. >> reporter: the national guard troops answer to the commander in chief who, until wednesday at noon, will still be president trump. on "60 minutes" last night, scott pelley asked ken cuccinelli what they would do if mr. trump asked them to stand down. >> we're going to complete our jobs. there's not a standdown. we have a statutory mission we're going to perform under all circumstances. i think that hypothetical is not going to happen. it's unimaginable. >> reporter: what was unimaginable just a few weeks ago is that there would be a security presence this large here in washington, d.c. for this inauguration, or the prospect of americans threatening violence against

fellow americans. but that's where we stand right now. >> scott said last night on "60 minutes," there's a lot that's unimaginable right now in washington, d.c. all 50 states are also on high alert ahead of president-elect joe biden's inauguration. david begnaud is outside the capitol in lansing, michigan. what are you seeing there? >> good morning, there was protesting at state capitols around the country, but no rioting. where we are at the capitol in lansing, michigan there were more media members and police officers than people who showed up to protest. but the fbi says due to security threats don't let your guard down in the days leading up to the inauguration. two more days to go. listen, jeff told you more about what happened inside the capitol on january 6th. i want to tell you more about the arrests, more than 120 people who have been arrested thus far. starting yesterday with the county commissioner from new mexico, his name coy griffin. he posted videos of himself at the january 6th events, and

allegedly pledged to return to d.c. armed. also arrested on sunday, a man from maryland, brian bettenkor, a self-proclaimed white supremacist who posed at the capitol with a confederate flag. he got permission to go to d.c. for the riots but told his parole officer he was going there to distribute bibles. a gps monitor tracking device told him exactly where he was. and then there's the texas real estate agent, and so-called life coach jenna ryan, she appears to have taken a private plane to washington and bragged about storming the capitol. she said they were armed and dangerous. then the fbi arrested her. and now she's saying this. >> me personally, i do not feel a sense of shame or guilt for my heart from what i was doing. i thought i was following my president. i would like a pardon from the president of the united states. i think that we all deserve a pardon. i'm facing prison sentence.

>> reporter: president trump is reportedly considering issuing pardons before he leaves office on january 6th, no telling whether or not he's going to issue pardons for these folks. it should be known so many of them who were arrested on january 6th think they did absolutely nothing wrong. >> does leave you kind of speechless, david, thank you. we are joined now by cbs news senior national security analyst fran townsend. she served as homeland security adviser to president george w. bush, fran, good morning. the associated press is reporting that the fbi is vetting national guard troops deployed to the capitol to prevent an inside attack and as we heard, in jeff pegues's piece, david martin -- they are screening all the personnel coming in, how unusual is this, who do you make of it? >> you know, anthony, i think people should understand, we always, going back to my time in

the white house, we vet all personnel who are going to have any physical proximity to that event. i mean, this is a national security special event which comes with a whole level of state, local and federal coordination. they are running national guard members and law enforcement through their guardian database, just to be sure they understand in the wake of the january 6th insurrection on the capitol, where we saw police officers, capitol police officers, people participating in that insurrection, they want to be sure that they vetted everybody and i think it's just a natural precaution. >> fran, we know now that off duty officers were part of the riots at the capitol. obviously people with military training, military experience as well. but thinking about law enforcement, what do we need to do to root out extremism in law enforcement? >> anthony, i think that the sad example of the capitol police is a warning to all law enforcement agencies and the military that

we must police our own, we must look -- we can't allow people wearing in uniform wearing qanon patches and just let that go as their particular political beliefs. this is a real problem. you know the fbi's washington field office got a failing grade from their own inspector general on their domestic terrorism program and i think now, look, all of the law enforcement agencies realize they have a problem inside themselves that they're going to have to root out and deal with to be effective. >> meanwhile, fran, thousands of troops have been deployed to state houses across the country as well. if there is -- what do you see as the biggest threat at this point if you think there is one? >> so with 25,000 national guard troops in the nation's capitol many of them are coming from the 50 states that we're talking about. so they've reduced the number available for the state capitols. many of those governors have brought their own national guard troops into the state capitols to protect them. hopefully what we saw yesterday

where no one showed up is what happens on inauguration day. but i think the governors are taking it seriously, and want to be prepared. >> fran townsend, thanks so much. we are learning new details about what president-elect joe biden plans to do in his first days in office. they include rolling back some of president trump's best known policies, weijia jiang is covering the biden transition in wilmington, delaware, they have a lot planned on the very first day. >> reporter: they do, gayle, they're going to get right to work. this weekend president-elect biden spent it working on his inaugural address which will aim to tackle bridging the gap of a deeply divided nation. and you're right, he has announced an aggressive plan for his first ten days in office, on day one as president mr. biden plans to reverse the trump administration's ban of travelers from some muslim-majority countries. re-join the paris climate accord and mandate mask wearing on

federal property and during interstate travel among other policies. he also plans to extend the pause on federal student loan payments and continue protecting people from evictions and foreclosures. all those actions, mr. biden can do unilaterally but he does need congress to achieve other goals. namely passing a $1.9 trillion covid relief package and getting cabinet nominees approved. but senators will likely also be juggling president trump's second impeachment trial. tony? >> wthank you very much. the fight to stop the coronavirus, cities and states are opening more mass vaccination sites including this one at dodger stadium in los angeles, as of friday the u.s. had distributed more than 31 million doses of the vaccine, but administered only about 12 million. that is less than half. at the same time the u.s. is approaching 400,000 recorded deaths from covid-19.

man manuel manuel -- reports. >> be patient, we get it, everybody needs vaccines >> reporter: hundreds of frustrated floridians lined up outside the tabernacle missionary baptist church in west palm beach this weekend for a chance at the coronavirus vaccine. >> it could be an hour. it could be two. >> reporter: some of them had lined up before 7:00 a.m., like 68-year-old elizabeth johnson. >> you can't get an appointment. you can't buy an appointment. so what we going to do? we're going to bombard lines just like we are doing to get a shot. >> reporter: the one-day event came as the governor tries to enlist churches to reach florida's underserved populations. but some people in the line came from wealthier neighborhoods nearby. many say the state's current strategy isn't working. just around 5% of all doses have gone to black floridians. >> we need a more robust plan. we need more vaccination shots available in more locations. we need every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

>> reporter: new vaccines could help with the supply, and they may soon arrive from johnson & johnson and astrazeneca. dr. anthony fauci says those companies are going to be getting their data together to present to the fda for emergency use authorization. >> we're weeks away, not months away for sure. >> reporter: but he also stressed the urgency of vaccina many americans as possible. especially as new variants of the virus continue to spread. and even though some may not cause more severe illness, the fact that they're more contagious is a serious threat. >> the more cases you have, the more hospitalizations you're going to have. the more hospitalizations you have the more deaths you're going to have. >> reporter: former fda commissioner dr. scott gottlieb echoed a grim prediction made by the incoming cdc director. 500,000 deaths by mid-february. and that's before the more contagious variant first detected in the uk becomes the dominant strain of infection. >> it's going to double every

week. so in about five weeks, this is going to start to take over. this really changes the equation, and i think what we're looking at is a charlie e d'd'agagatata with ne developments in the case. >> reporter: this morning alexei navalny called his court hearing in moscow a momockery, the hight level of lawlessness of justice.

last night he stepped off the plane in moscow right into the arms of a russian police force welcoming committee. one kiss good-bye to his wife before being whisked away. he would have known the obvious risks. yet on board he said it was his best day in five months because he was going home. his detainment drew immediate international condemnation, including from u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo who in a statement demanded navalny's immediate and unconditional release, that his detention is the latest in a series of attempts to silence navalny and other opposition figures. the kremlin's fiercest critic became violently ill on a domesticic flight fivive months. he was airlifted in a coma to berlin where toxicologn's respo.

>> i don't think, i'm sure that he's responsible. >> reporter: the kremlin has denied any involvement and say he's been detained for violating parole terms from a previous suspended sentence. whether he expected to be arrested or not, navalny's return home is seen as a direct challenge to the man he blames for his attempted murder. for "cbs this morning," charlie d'agata, london. >> very worried for him. you know, anthony, you lived in moscow, how can this have a happy ending when he knows that they want him dead? people want him -- some people want him dead there. >> alexei navalny has been fearless from the beginning. he has always been willing to get directly in putin's face. it's an incredibly courageus act when he's done. it's remarkable. >> kaurj us courageous. >> i think he believes he can lead the country from inside, not the outside. >> i hope it turns out o

we have much more ahead including what it takes to plan the most complicated inauguration in this nation's history. how organizers want to honor long-standing traditions amid extraordinary security. you're watching "cbs this morning." alright,t, i broughtht in enensure max p protein to g give you the prototein you neneed with less s of the e sugar you u don't.

first on "cbs this morning," we'll take you inside the museum as it prepares to open. good morning. it is 7:26. i'm michelle griego. a newer version of the coronavirus is being linked to multiple outbreaks in santa clara county. the 452r variant was first identified last year and is different than the fast spreading variant racing across the uk. vandals have attacked a police station and city hall in vacaville. they smashed windows last night and scrawled angry messages against the police and the government. so far, no arrests have been made. marin schools are seeing a

spike in coronavirus cases among students and staff after the holiday break. 104 students and 34 staff members have tested positive, up from 72 and 22 prior to the day's schools return from the holiday break. good morning. i'm gianna franco in the traffic center. our freeways are quiet this morning as our our bay area bridges. not a lot of volume but traffic is for the most part moving at a nice pace, 30 minutes to go from 882 101. bay bridge toll plaza, no metering lights on. traffic is moving at the limit into san francisco. so far it is good across the golden gate. pretty views from all of our cameras this morning. this one from the salesforce camera looking east. it will be windy today. that is the headline. we have seen 40 miles per hour gusts in the tri-valley. it will stay that way throughout the day. the temperatures are really warm out there thanks to these winds that helped mix the air to keep the temperature is relatively

welcome back. this week's inauguration will feature long-standing traditions marking the occasion despite unprecedented challenges. president-elect joe biden plans to take the oath of office on the west front steps of the capitol as other presidents have done for the last 40 years. chief white house correspondent, that's nancy cordes, got a behind-the-scenes look. good morning to you. so what should we expect? it looks so different than we've ever seen it before. >> reporter: it really does. for starters, this is about as close as most people will be able to get to the capitol on inauguration day. but even before this unprecedented security stemming from the uprising we saw a week

and a half ago, the organizers were already contending with a global pandemic as they tried to maintain many of the inaugural traditions that americans are so familiar with. so what is it going to look like? we asked the man tasked with bringing it all together. >> so are they done doing the plotting, or -- s>> maju varghese is the executive director of the inaugural committee. it's his job to plan theere showing. >> reporter: he's no stranger to big events. he was the coo of the biden campaign which had to reimagine the democratic national convention and the election night celebration to keep them covid safe. what were the elements of an inauguration that were most important to you to preserve? >> so what we wanted to do was preserve the images that people

are used to when it comes to seeing a peaceful transfer of power. we wanted president-elect joe biden to take the oath on the west front, and we wanted to give peoeople a sense that we a still, even in tough times, we're resilient country. >> i -- >> reporter: after all, presidents have been getting sworn in on the west front of the capitol for the past 40 years with one key difference -- >> generally that platform would be packed. like people shoulder to shoulder, maybe up to 1,000 people up there. >> reporter: on wednesday, to maintain social distancing, it will be closer to 200. and the national mall will be completely blocked off to the public, though that doesn't mean it will be empty. >> well, what you'll see on the mall, you know, is going to be a sea of flags. as i was here for president obama's first inauguration. looking this way down toward the monument on a bright day and seeing people wave their flags in the light, we wanted to capture some of that spirit. >> reporter: and so this

weekend, workers began installing nearly 200,000 american flags and state and territory flags. >> all of it to show the american people that we're thinking about them in this time. >> reporter: we spoke amid what felt like an armed encampment. it was just 12 days ago that thousands of rioters swarmed the very spot where president-elect joe biden will be sworn in. >> we just had to add more security -- >> reporter: minnesota senator amy klobuchar sits on the congressional committee that oversees inaugural events. did you ever consider bringing the entire inauguration inside and abandoning the west front? >> we thought should we do it on another side, should we do it inside -- and time and time again we came back to the point that, no, this is where the inauguration traditionally has been held, not when you go way back, but traditionally. and we want to continue that tradition. >> reporter: there are some

additional changes that they are making to meet the moment on wednesday. as you know, two capitol police officers lost their lives as a result of the riots and dozens more were injured. cbs news has learned that during the ceremony, there will be a recognition of the capitol police force even as those officers are on duty protecting the lawmakers and all the other dignitaries who will be there for the big event. >> yeah. >> january 6th was messy, and yet they were successful in that no one was hurt. thank you very much. we appreciate that. >> and there are many officers that do deserve to be celebrated. we've heard stories of the selfies and letting the barricades go. there are many officers, most officers we should say, did the right thing. when i look at those pictures, it makes me sad, but it also makes me angry that it's come to this. >> yeah. and the threat will not pass after inauguration day. it will be out there. and i should say when i say no one was hurt, i mean no member of congress was hurt. that is the mission of the capitol police. >> some of this would have been like this in part because of

covid. it's obviously been taken to a different level. i am glad they are continuing the imagery of having it out on the west side of the capitol. that will at least be familiar. >> all right. that was our chief white house correspondent, nancy cordes. new title for her. >> yes, yes. ahead, a look at the troubled life of legendary music producer and convicted murderer phil spector who died over the weekend. and you can always get the news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast. hear the top stories in less than 20 minutes. we'll be right back.

monday morning. here are a few stories we think you'll be talking about today -- president-elect joe biden reportedly is poised to cancel approval for a controversial pipeline project on his first day in office. canada's cbc news reports the words rescind, keystone, excel pipeline permit appeared on the list of executive actions he is set to take immediately. the move in a decade-long fight would kill a project that's become a political symbol for climate change activists and the oil industry. the pipeline's planned route runs from alberta, canada, to nebraska, passing through montana and south dakota. the pipeline's developer now plans to announce a series of overhauls including a pledge to use only renewable energy in an effort to win over mr. biden. the president-elect's transition team has not responded to our request for comment. we'll stay on top of this story. okay. lot of controversy over in australia. 72 tennis players are in quarantine ahead of the australian open, frustrating athletes who want to practice for the first grand slam tournament of 2021. officials announced yesterday

that 25 athletes are on lockdown for two weeks after a passenger on a flight from qatar to melbourne tested positive. 47 others were already in quarantine after positive tests from two other chartered flights. players are not allowed to leave their rooms until they are medically cleared, so some players are going next level to get some practice -- look at this, hitting tennis balls against propped up mattresses and windows. this is pretty funny. but they're doing what they got to do because they are under this quarantine, strict quarantine, there's a lot of controversy in australia. some wondering even if they should continue with the tournament. >> who's paying the deposit on the room? >> the window? makes me nervous. >> how would you like to be in the room next door? the tennis ball thumping on the wall. >> got a world-class tennis player. natty light is featuring the most expensive piece of art. you can see the installation at new york's grand central terminal on national light's

>> it's only a matter of time. justice is coming. >> all right. >> those are such unsettling images. >> oh, boy. >> i was struck by the -- by the words of one man said, while we're here we might as well set up a government. there's a lot of confusion and anger in those images. >> i was struck by someone saying let's show some respect, when their mere presence is the ultimate in disrespect when you consider how they got in and what they were doing when they were there. more to come on that. former homeland security secretary, that's jeh johnson, he served under former president barack obama. good morning to you, secretary johnson. i want to start with that individual because i'm very curious about what you thought when you were watching it. it's chilling, it's terrifying. we all saw it in real time and thought it was bad, but when you hear what these rioters were saying and what they were planning and the destruction and how organized parts of it seemed to be i want to get your thoughts on that first? >> gayle, the images, the videos

are shocking. i have to say it is something that hopefully we plan for, we tried to anticipate, but it's something that i never thought i would see in my lifetime. i have to say, probably the most shocking image to me was someone parading a confederate flag through the u.s. capitol. we fought an entire civil war to prevent exactly that from happening. this was a major, major breach of security that should have been anticipated and could have been avoided. >> and now when you look at the scenes at the capitol right now, the military force that is there, more troops on the ground there than we have in iraq, afghanistan, and syria combined. when you think about that, what do you think is the biggest threat right now? what are we missing? >> gayle, four years ago as secretary of homeland security, i had overall responsibility for the security of the inauguration of president trump. something like that is

considered an nsse, a national special security event. the secret service takes over. they have overall charge of the security of the event, they're part of dhs, they work in consultation with the local metro police, the fbi, the coast guard, fema, homeland security investigations and the national guard and they literally go through a checklist of things to make the event inpenetrateble from land, sea and air. it's a massive security event. it takes months in the planning like a papal visit or a u.n. general assembly session with world leaders converging on manhattan. this will be, i am sure, the most security laden inauguration we've seen probably in my lifetime. >> so do you feel confident? i know you know a lot of people and i know you know how this job works, do you feel confident

that america will be safe on wednesday morning? a lot of people still very nervous. >> gayle, given the threat picture out there right now, given the unrest, much of it frankly stirred by our outgoing president, i don't believe we can afford to be confident. i think we have to be careful, i think we have to be vigilant, but i do have confidence in the skill and the preparation of our law enforcement, our security forces out there. but we do have to be vigilant and be extraordinarily careful given the current threat picture. >> the thing that strikes me more than anything, secretary johnson, we're not protecting ourselves against foreign outsiders, we're protecting ourselves against fellow americans. that's something i'm still trying to wrap my brain around. how do we do that? how do you protect -- and now, you know, they're even vetting the law enforcement that's on the ground. they're worried about some insiders who could infiltrate on that particular day. how do you protect yourself against yourself?

>> good question, gayle. first and foremost, law enforcement efforts at what we refer to as countering violent extremism here at home, that is something that we began to focus on in the obama administration through grants, through a lot of time and attention. i spent a lot of time and attention personally on our cbe issue, and it's something, frankly that went off the rails in the lasts four years during the trump administration. we need to rededicate our focus. our homeland security threat picture has evolved dramatically as you note. for years after 9/11 we were focused on foreign-based violent extremism, foreign-based terrorism, now the principle threat comes from within. >> you said cde, i don't know what that is, cde? >> countering violent extremism.

>> you have to help us lay people out with that lingo. on this martin luther king holiday, he famously said the time is always right to do the right thing. so i'm wondering, as you sit here today, what is the right thing and how are you feeling on this martin luther king, jr., day holiday? >> gayle, i'm a graduate of morehouse college, class of 1979. dr. king was martin luther king college 1948. i went to college with his son. he's one of my best friends. i marched for a holiday in georgia in the state of georgia while i was a college student. one of the many things dr. king said, which i think of today, is that we are all part of a single garment of destiny, in an inescapable network of mutuality. i think it's time that we in this country rededicate that, rededicate ourself to that principle. i'm hoping that we hear some of that from biden on wednesday in

his inaugural address. >> i think we all need a reminder. thank you very much, secretary johnson. good to see you. ahead we visit vice president-elect kamala harris's alma mater howard university and hear from some of her

it was almost one year ago that ramy inocencio brought us the first news of the coronavirus. >> reporter: the number of infected exploded over the weekend. the airport here in wuhan has also started to do body temperature checks of people before they take flight. not only that, when we landed here in eu wuhan earlier today, we saw people, many, wearing masks. taking a look at what's happening in the united states, u.s. officials want to make sure that they are raising the defense, and that is what they are doing. as of now, there has not been a u.s. infection as of yet. >> since that report, the virus has killed more than 397,000 americans, and that number is projected to reach 500,000, half a million, next month. in the latest cbs news poll most americans think vaccine distribution is moving too slowly at this time. and president-elect joe biden promises 100 million vaccine doses will be given to americans

in his first 100 days in office. cbs news medical contributor dr. david agus joins us now. dr. agus, good morning to you. let's start with that promise from the incoming biden administration. 100 million shots in 100 days. is that realistic? >> thank you, good morning. yeah, it's a bold promise, but i think an important one and a doable one. in order for that to happen, we need the astrazeneca and the johnson & johnson vaccine to receive regulatory approval because they're their are large stocks available now, and we need to step up what we're doing across the country to get vaccines from freezers into people's arms. >> i don't fully understand, doctor, and maybe you can shed light on it why if 31 million or so doses have been distributed, only 12 million or so have been actually put into people's arms. why the gap? >> well, every state was given the right to make their own criteria for who to vaccinate and how to vaccinate.

and many of them are having difficulty with it. they're having difficulty with the software, preregistering people so they can go smoothly. they're having difficulty following people for 15 to 30 minutes afterwards, which you have to with the two rna vaccines. and you know, i think when they also get very targeted in who they're going to vaccinate, it's much more difficult. some states that have had broad criteria, everybody over the age of 65, et cetera, have had much better luck getting vaccines into people's arms. i think we're going to need a federalization. so the federal government should be in charge of distribution and who gets the vaccines and how to do it, and i think it will run much, much easier. >> yeah. a costly lesson to learn this late in the pandemic. so if the federal government takes a stronger approach to distributing actually vaccinating people, what's your rough estimate for when the general population will be able to receive a vaccine? >> well, when you start to look at this, if we get these four vaccines on to the market, remember that the second two, j

& j and astrazeneca, there's no 15 to 30-minute waiting time, it's not frozen. easy to distribute to doctors' offices, not just the big centers in the city, but across the country which will make things happen much more efficiently. so i really believe we can do this by the summer. and that we can get 75% to 85% of americans vaccinated. we'll bring us herd immunities. several months later we'll see a fall in the virus and getting back to a more normal way of life. >> we could all use that. we've seen in five weeks a leap in the death toll from 300,000 to 400,000. now there are estimates it could be at 500,000 by mid-february. do you think that's a realistic outcome at this point? >> unfortunately yes. i mean, we saw recently the peak from christmas and new year's where people got together and we saw an increased number of viruses later by an increased number of death. it's leveled off. i think we'll see a significant increase over the next several

weeks from the mutant strains. these are strains that are much more contagious than the classic or the covid-19 we have been fighting for the last 11 months or 12 months. so these are much easier to spread. we're going to see an increase in those cases, and unfortunately increase in the death rate which will lag the increasing cases happening next month. >> all right, dr. agus, thank you so much. appreciate it. very illuminating. ahead, first on "cbs this morning," our new series "unifying america" takes us inside the national museum of african-american music that officially opens today to discover a celebration of musical history. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's that time again, time to bring you in of the stories tha "talk of the table." tony is up first. >> i want to tell our viewers about something they may have missed on friday. so republican senator james langu langford of oklahoma has apologized for questioning the presidential election results. in particular the results of several states with predominantly black cities where questions were raised by republicans, he's saying in a letter to his black constituents that his actions, he acknowledges, caused a firestorm of suspicion among black voters. and now in his words he says, "i was blind sided by that, but i also found" the important part,

"a blind spot, quote, i should have recognized how what i said and did could be interpreted by many of you. i deeply regret my blindness to that perception and for that i am sorry." i think this is remarkable and wanted to bring it up. >> me, too. >> it appears to be heartfelt. everything in politics has strategy behind it. but it appears to be heartfelt i think any contrition by a national politician like this is to be commended because for four years we've seen anything but contrition. >> yes. i appreciate him saying anything at all, tony. he could have felt that and said nothing. the fact that he's speaking out so publicly, i'm glad you picked that. >> he put it in a letter. >> a very lengthy letter with detail. >> yep. >> right. >> nicely done. who's next? >> i think gayle, you're up. >> i am. sorry, says gayle. an act of kindness by a canadian elementary school student is geting a ton of likes on social media. i'm nuts about this story. it started when a 10-year-old boy saw a new kid sitting by himself at school, if you know what that's like, you know that ain't fun. he and another friend decided to

hang out with the new kid at lunch. at the end of the day, this little boy gave the boy a heartwarming note, and it was tweeted by the boy's father. high calls it a proud dad moment. it read, "sitting outside with me felt better than anything, thank you so much. i would like to ask you if i can start joining you guys outside?" i got a lump when i was reading it. i think about the little boy approached by other little boys that say "you can come and sit with us." the post received more than 472,000 likes, many from celebrities, jennifer aniston's weighed in, gabrielle union, oprah said something. now the parents did not tell the boy about the reaction on social media because they didn't want him to have to worry about tweets and likes. he eventually found out from a friend. and the dad's name is ravi kalan. i'm glad he called it a proud dad moment and it is. he said the reason he thinks it caught on is because the world is so nasty these days. we need hope and kindness, certainly on social media. so when you see the little kids can do this, we can all take a lesson from that.

>> everybody's had one of those moments. >> yes. >> they feel like they don't quite belong. >> oh, i know. >> i like that oprah pitched it to you. does she pitch a lot of the "talk of the table." did she -- >> she didn't pitch this to me. tony dokoupil. >> i got your "talk of the table" for monday -- >> as a matter of fact, when it said oprah weighed in, i thought, god, i've been meaning to tell her about it. i was surprised she knew about it. this was my idea. >> okay. >> all right. i'll move on. and my pick is the national museum of african-american music which officially opens today in nashville. really exciting. part of a new series "unifying america" that we're launching on this martin luther king jr. holiday. we're recognizing people who are trying to right injustices and bring communities together. the museum is a celebration of african-americans' contributions to every genre of music and the exhibits provide historical context to rewrite that story for the public. first on "cbs this morning," we go inside the museum that's been
