i saw the president presenting graphs that i never made. >> that's got to suck. you spend all night preparing your slide show showing u.s. infection rates and the president goes out shows everyone a graph ranking his chicken mcnugget dips and order of saucesomeness. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive. making it easier to bundle insurance. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with weather for a change, tens of millions of americans are waking up to very stormy weather from the great plains to the deep south. a tornado killed and injured others in fultondale near birmingham. a heavy snowstorm is hitting chicago and much of the midwest right now and some parts of iowa and nebraska expect more than a foot of snow. the biggest winter storm in more than a decade there. adriana diaz is out in the snow -- i'm sorry, adriana, in chicago. we're glad you're there to tell us what's happening. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning.

i'm glad to be here look. look, this winter storm warning is still in effect in chicago and commuters just like us had to dig themselves out of the snow to get to work this morning. it's not just here in the midwest, millions across the country are threatened by similar conditions. >> commuters you will encounter snowy roads. >> reporter: across nebraska through arizona and into california, whiteout conditions are wreaking havoc on roadways throughout the country. >> it's pretty messy right now. slick. real slick, icy. >> reporter: here in the midwest the snow and ice impact is taking its toll, causing multiple accidents and collisions. >> we can't keep that snow melted fast enough. >> reporter: street crews in omaha are struggling to clean up the snow. and the city is under a snow emergency declaration until further notice. >> with more snow expected on wednesday we just don't have an end date to it yet. >> reporter: in the south, severe weather touched down in several alabama counties after a twister tore through the city of fultondale, destroying this

hotel and several homes. >> a lot of cars off the road. >> reporter: drivers as far west as arizona are warned not to travel at all as the northern section of the state continues to be blanketed with snow. gusts of more than 50 miles per hour snapped power lines in neighborhoods near phoenix. >> what a trip, it's snowing in harupa valley! >> reporter: in a rare sight, cities in southern california experienced light snow, enough to snarl traffic, leaving some roads looking like parking lots. more snow is expected today as another storm approaches. now, the national weather service will be on the ground today to survey the damage from that tornado in alabama. back here in the midwest we expect seven, yes seven more days of heavy snowfall. back to you, tony, in the warm studio. >> adriana, thank you very much. it's a good morning for a zoom commute, if you can do it. let's bring in climate specialist jeff berardelli, watching all the stormy weather

across the country. good morning to you, jeff. >> reporter: good morning, tony, we are waiting on that snow here in new york city. but the storm is really losing steam, just a couple to a few inches of snow expected in the northeast. but the big story is the switch from the driest six-month stretch in the west to what is going to be a severe flooding event this week and it's all because of an atmospheric river which is shooting a fire hose of moisture right towards the west coast. this will slam into the mountains, we're talking over a foot of rain. and mud slides. the reason why we'll see the mud slides is because all the burn scars which has transformed the land. the sierra nevada likely to see 10 to 12 feet of snow over the next just couple to few days. anthony, that's like two anthony masons standing on top of each other. that's how much snow we're going to see. >> that's a really scary prospect, jeff, really scary idea. jeff berardelli, thanks so much. rough weather all over the country. now to capitol hill where house lawmakers delivered an

article of impeachment against former president trump to the senate. mr. trump is accused of inciting an insurrection after stoking a crowd, which then attacked the u.s. capitol. more than 150 people face federal charges. many say the president encouraged them to assault the building. nikole killion is on capitol hill. what happens next? >> reporter: anthony, later today all 100 senators will be sworn in as jurors for the second impeachment trial against former president trump. he will also be served a summons for the trial, which starts next month. >> i was 30 feet away from those sons of guns. 30 feet away from these nasty, racist, bigoted insurrectionists. >> reporter: democrats say they're ready to present their case against former president donald trump not only as jurors and prosecutors, but as eyewitnesses to the deadly assault on capitol hill. >> i had my daughter with me. and i had my son-in-law who is married to my other daughter with me that day. they were, you know, several

hundred feet away, outside of the house chamber. we all could have been killed. >> reporter: after today's swearing in, there will be two weeks of pretrial proceedings, setting the stage for the trial to begin february 9th. instead of chief justice john roberts who presided over mr. trump's first trial while in office, vermont's patrick leahy, the longest serving democrat in the senate will preside and insist he will remain impartial. >> the senior democratic senator in the senate presides over this proceeding. he basically is operating as a judge and a juror, and he's got a conflict of interest. >> reporter: one of the strategies impeachment managers will likely rely on will be showcasing mr. trump's own words and actions just moments before rioters took over the capitol. meanwhile, on monday, the justice department's internal watchdog launched an investigation whether they engaged in an improper attempt to alter the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. the investigation was announced

after "the new york times," cbs news and others reported that former president trump considered replacing his acting attorney general for failing to help challenge the election results. last night, a hurdle was cleared when senate minority leader mitch mcconnell agreed to move forward with a power-sharing agreement with majority leader chuck schumer. work had been stalled here in the senate during the impasse. but now, the chamber can organize based on the new 50/50 split. gayle. >> thank you very much. president biden is setting optimistic new vaccine goals to fight the coronavirus. he now says anyone who wants a shot may be able to get one this spring, and that's despite the delays blamed in part on the trump administration. ed o'keefe has more from the white house on this story. >> this is going to be a logistical challenge that exceeds anything we've ever tried in this country. >> reporter: president biden

acknowledged the difficulties in increasing the rate of vaccinations across the country but says his administration should be able to speed up how quickly americans can get their shots. >> i think the grace of god, goodwill of neighbor and creek not rising as the saying goes we may get that to 150, 1.5 million a day. rather than 1 million a day. >> reporter: the president's comments came as he's faced criticism for suggesting 1 million vaccines a day as the initial distribution target. >> that's not a big new goal. that's exactly what they inherited from the trump administration and operation warp speed. >> reporter: the president also doubled down on his belief that schools should be able to reopen sooner rather than later. >> i believe we should make school classrooms safe and secure for the students, for the teachers, and for the help that's in those schools, maintaining the facilities. >> reporter: but for that to happen, school districts would need additional federal funding. mr. biden is pushing for more

school aid as part of his $1.9 trillion covid relief package. he's already dismissing suggestions by some democrats and republicans that the proposal might need to be scaled down to pass. saying the negotiations could take at least a few weeks. >> this is just the process beginning. >> reporter: meanwhile, the president's choice for treasury secretary janet yellen is set to begin her new job, the senate confirmed her last night as the first woman ever to lead the treasury department. his choice for secretary of state antony blinken is expected to be confirmed today. the president has used executive action to -- racism and xenophobia against asian-americans in the wake of the pandemic. some kind of order is expected to address anti-asian bias in the wake of covid-19. there is relief this morning but also concern and confusion over california governor gavin newsom's decision to lift covid stay at home orders,

hospitalizations and the average number of cases are going down statewide, partly because of that lockdown but there's also a threat from new strains of the virus and that threat is rising. john vigliotti is reporting from los angeles. >> reporter: after two months 1.1 million cases and over 17,000 deaths. california's lockdown is over. >> everything that should be down is down, case rates, positivity rates, hospitalizations, icus. >> reporter: but the governor says the state's next hurdle will be in vaccinating all of the state's 40 million residents. at the current pace, california won't vaccinate even half of its residents until thanksgiving. more than half of california's doses are still on the shelf, as the state prioritizes vaccinating people like frontline workers and seniors. >> i think we're past this point of worrying how much we have in store and we're starting to worry about where is the supply going to come from? >> reporter: with the new variant on the rise, the need to vaccinate is becoming more urgent. southern california is home to its own unique variant.

cal-20-c. researchers say it's more contagious and responsible for 40% of all infections in the region. >> sars co vee 2 is going to invade us, right but we can stop it from becoming the infection. the fact that we saw it increase over the holidays is a reflection of our behavior. >> reporter: even as california moves out of the lockdown, the virus has left unimaginable loss in its wake. it took the life of 33-year-old jasmine jacobo who left behind five daughters. her brother has taken them all in. >> you know what, it's tough. you know, the sun shines on us, but then we have our cloudy days, too. you know, these girls are going through so much. it's the beginning. the love that she shared with everybody was amazing. she was a beautiful person. >> reporter: their loss is simply unimaginable.

there is some encouraging news on the vaccination front. moderna says their vaccine works on most new strains although they are creating a booster shot for the more contagious south african variant. anthony? >> jonathan, thank you. two cbs executives are on administrative leave while the company looks into alleged racist and sexist behavior reported by the "los angeles times." peter dunn, and david friend, senior vice president of the news for the stations were suspended pending a full investigation by parent company viacom/cbs. our national correspondent jericka duncan has the details. >> reporter: according to allegations laid out in the "los angeles times" investigation, peter dunn's management was hostile, racist and crude. according to legal papers obtained by the "l.a. times" from a former employee of our philadelphia station kyw-tv, dunn referred to veteran worker ukee washington who is black as

jive. another former employee echoed that claim. >> philadelphia health officials are -- >> reporter: dunn allegedly disparaged washington often according to the l.a. times. and would say that, quote, all he does is dance. in a statement on air last night, kyw sportscaster don bell responded to the story. >> our ukee washington is the d. >> our ukee washington is the most hard working, authentic caring skilled journalist. >> ukee is our quarterback. the crown jewel of philly. >> reporter: according to claims in the "times" report, his lieutenant, ask vice president david friend also disparaged colleagues. he was allegedly critical when wwy hired brooks thomas as an anchor in 2016.

margaret cronin described just venom and profanity, he screamed. tell her to shut the -- up. >> we have spent the last two weeks together for the last two years. >> reporter: according to the "times" report, dunn allegedly rejected to extending the contract of rahel solomon, in a statement to the "times," friend said these comments i have made about our employees or prospective hires were only based on performance or qualification. not about anyone's race or gender. former cbs "this morning" charlie rose was terminated over sexual harassment allegations in 2017, allegations which he denied. after his firing, cbs began an investigation into workplace culture, allowing employees to share any stories of alleged harassment. a subsequent investigation

eventually led to the firing of then chairman and cbs ceo les moonves who denies all allegations of misconduct. allegations of peter dunn came up during investigations into workplace culture in 2019. former kyw manager said dunn fired him. releasing a statement this week saying they haven't had any complaints against dunn. george cheeks met with leadership with the national association of black journalists. afterwards, it was said in a statement that order for the company's culture to be transformed it must begin with the firing of dunn and friend. in an internal email monday, cheeks promised to foster and maintain a positive inclusive workplace. the network also committed to an independent investigation of the allegations raised in the

"times." and said is it would take appropriate action in a public statement announcing dunn and friend's suspensions. for "cbs this morning," jericka duncan. >> in his public statement, george cheeks said cbs is committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace where all voices are heard. claims are investigated and appropriate action is taken where necessary. we've reached out to peter dunn and david friend for comment but have not heard back. >> it's another one of those times where i feel like we've been here before, sick of it and sickened by it. the more you hear the worse it gets. i'm glad the "los angeles times" did the story. i'm glad that we are talking about it. we're not running from it. we have to handle it well. cbs hasn't handled it well and hopefully things will change. it's very upsetting to me. >> the l.a. times story is very

upsetting. >> it is

nebraska, where they declared a snow emergency. some cities in eastern nebraska saw more than a foot of snow. and alabama, officials say a tornado touched down in fulton dale last night, killing one person and injuring more than two dozen. you can see the walls ripped off of this hampton inn. a man who stayed there tells our local affiliate cbs 42 the roof of his room collapsed, but he's okay, thankfully. just look at this massive beam that came flying through the wall of a home in fulton dale. the homeowner says his wife and baby were in the room, about ten minutes earlier. now, there were also snowstorms as far west as california, causing dozens of crashes on busy i-80. they're expected to get more rain and snow today. and by the end of the week, in the sierra nevada mountains, they could get this up to ten feet of new snow. there are a few inches heading your way, you guys, to new york city, and parts of new england. anthony? >> coming our way, adriana, thank you so much. the latest impeachment trial of former president donald trump

but now that he's out of the white house, that duty will be passed on to the most senior democratic senator, patrick leahy, of vermont. the president has been assembling his legal team, which will be a different set of lawyers than his first trial. tony? >> thank you very much. to the coronavirus, yet another potentially more contagious variant has been detected in the u.s. mutation first detected in brazil has now been discovered in the minneapolis-st. paul area. health officials say the infected person had recently traveled to brazil and tested positive earlier this month. now, this new strain is thought to be more transmissible, but it is not yet clear if it causes more serious illness. meanwhile, the coronavirus vaccinemaker moderna says it is starting to test an additional booster shot to help fight another newly discovered variant, which was found in south africa. the company says its vaccine is effective against the strain, but it may not be as effective as of right now. they're working on it. first on "cbs this morninin"

system inn atlanta a approached tyler perry to get the shot to help get the word out. black americans you've heard are disproportionately affected by the virus and one in three, think about that, are hesitant about getting this vaccine. perry's new special aims to provide the facts about it, and in this clip, he talks with brady health system doctorr kimberly manning.g. >> i'm heariring peoplee sayay don't w want it or they'rere go toto wait t to getet it. ifif you w want t to bee able t intoto commumunity to g go to y family reunioion, to do t the ts that getet us backk to livingng those arare thihings to cononsid i've beenn saying,, you know,, loved oneses, this is a about u. thisis is aboutut usus. the folklks that a are reallllyg ththe hardest hit a are the peo ththat are in your contacts and your cell phone if you look like us. >> tyler perry joins us first on "cbs this morning" to discuss. good to see you, mr. perry. let's get started. so much to talk to you about, were you reluctant to take the vaccine yourself before the doctors at grady health system approached you?

>> when dr. del rio and dr. manning, they called up and asked if i would take it and encourage the community, i thought i would do that, but you got to answer all my questions and i thought, well, while you answer my questions, let's record it so you can answer the questions of a lot of people in the community. i was skeptical. if you look at the history with the tuskegee experiment and things like that, it raises flags for us as african-american people. so i understand why there is a healthy skepticism about the vacc vaccine. >> i understand why they reached out to you. you're certainly younger than 65. they thought if tyler perry gets it, it will send a strong message. what questions did you have the doctors, top two, what did you want to know from them? >> i wanted to know about the technology. we talked about the spanish flu to what is happening now to where it came from. i think my top questions was understanding mrna technology and dr. kimberly manning and dr. del rio did an amazing job at explaining that, of how this

new technology helped to come up with the vaccine so quickly. so when i heard things like warp speed, i was really concerned because this last administration and all the pressure they were putting on the cdc and fda, i don't know -- i didn't really feel like i could trust it, once i got all the information, found out the researchers, i was very, very happy. >> tyler, it is anthony mason. case kaiser health has done a study in the early days of the vaccine rollout and bearing out what we have been talking about, the fact there is a distrust here, black americans are being vaccinated at a dramatically lower rate which is really alarming. so what do you think needs to be done here to build confidence. >> exactly what we're doing, the special i'm doing for b.e.t. and asking -- having an opportunity to ask experts questions. the first ebola patient in america was at emory hospital i got the top experts here in town. dr. del rio is an epidemiologist, brilliant, and should be able to ask those questions and not only for

myself, but share them with the community. i got people who love what i do and follow me. i think once they get the information, that will help them. what i told them is i'm not taking this vaccine because i want you to take it, i want to give you the information so you can make your own choices. i think that's it's about, education and information. >> they talk about the reaction, that's another thing people are afraid of. number one, which vaccine did you get, tyler? >> i took the pfizer, the first one on january 4th and the second one yesterday. i had no reaction to first shot. this shot i just took yesterday i woke up with some aches and pains, but i took some advil, about an hour ago and i feel fine now. >> they said it is very common that, you don't have a reaction to the first one, you can have a -- sometimes dramatic reaction to the second one. it doesn't deter you, you still don't regret taking it, right? >> not at all because here's the alternative. here's what you don't understand. the problem with this covid-19 virus is you never know how it is going to affect you.

we have a lot of people who died, that i know have people who have had long-term health issues that i know, so i -- you're making the choice of getting the vaccine and even though it is 95, 96% efficacy, what happens is you're reducing your chances of ending up in the icu by 100%. so i think that's just important that people know that, that you don't -- if you take your chances with covid, you never know how it is going to affect you, and it could feaffect your long-term health. >> we shouldn't forget the main effect, protection against covid-19. we're talking about reactions, i'm interested the reaction to you. as you engage with people online and talk with people in the community where you are, have you succeeded with convincing anyone in particular that has been important to you and what was that experience like, that conversion of going, okay, they're skeptical, but listen to me, this is good for you and they make a change? >> i tell you, this is one special we're doing on b.e.t. on thursday night is so important.

i have a crew that works for me. they're largely african-american people who are all skeptical about the vaccine. they sat in the room, working the cameras and hair and makeup, they listen to all the information. by the time they got to the end of it, they all wanted to take it. it go backs toes back to gettin correct information. i think the last administration did a lot of damage in eroding trust when it comes to this vacc vaccine. the information i found has been very helpful. >> i know madea is retired. if there was a time for madea to weigh in, seems like she would have something to say. >> i'm getting that vaccine i'm getting that vaccine! >> people believe madea. madea always speaks the truth. let's -- >> that's right. >> let's talk about tyler perry. the oscars are coming up. you're getting the humanitarian award. whoa, congratulations, bravo. what does that mean to you when you heard you were going to get that? you see the list of people who have received that and now your name is added to the list. i love this.

>> i was completely shocked by that. you know the thing about it, gayle, where there is a need, and i have the ability, i just want to show up. so to see the humanitarian award, that's beyond moving and i'm so thankful to the academy. i can't wait. it is going to be a lot of fun. >> you made a point of announcing that you were flying back to your home state to vote in the georgia runoff election. i bet you're glad you did now, huh? >> for sure. listen, i still don't have the absentee ballot. >> you still didn't get it. >> we're still waiting for it. still waiting for it. i'm glad i came back. >> because the reason you went back is you applied for the absentee ballot but it never came. stacey abrams gave you some advice. >> yeah. and it was really simple. she said -- i had to sign an affidavit and i voted in person, there wasn't a line, and it all worked out. but i'll let you know when that absentee ballot shows up. >> let me tell you, tyler, as

somebody who has done a little reporting on vote by mail, it is probably never coming that thing is gone. your vote counts. that's all that matters. talking about other votes, there is a vote coming up in the senate in a couple of weeks, probably more than that, when the trial starts in the impeachment of president trump, former president trump, i'm just curious, the more we learn about the siege on the capitol on january 6th, the worse it seems. i'm interested in your journey, the reaction on the day of the riot and how your thinking has changed as we have learned more and the days have gone on. >> it is beyond heart breaking to watch, to see so many people seize the capitol, a capitol that slaves built, right, that you got these confederate flags walking through, where slaves actually built this capitol and for me, my -- it was heart breaking on so many levels. i believe in america it is more inclusive than that, that we all can -- we can disagree and still move forward in what we're doing as a country. to see that division to see what happened there, i -- shocking,

beyond heart breaking, i'm glad it's over, i'm glad we're moving toward healing and i really hope that's what's going to happen here. >> you know, prince harry and meghan markle have a podcast. you were one -- >> why do you do this, gayle? >> you don't even know what i'm going to ask you. you don't even know. >> i mean -- >> okay, they have a podcast, you were on it, you said at the time for 2020 you were handling it one day at a time. i'm wondering what is your wish for 2021? i wasn't going to ask you no personal questions about harry and meghan. i was asking you about this? >> you know my son, 6 years old, he wrote a beautiful letter, he said, dear mr. president and miss vice president, please make sure that everyone has access to food. i thought that was really amazing, right. so he's clearly got this gene from me and my mom and just all the stuff of helping. my hope is that we all do what people -- what is -- what we need to do get the people in need what they need so we can fix this pandemic we're going through.
