7:15 am
necessarily limited to just water supply systems. it can be anything. >> and that's of concern to people like robert lee, ceo of cybersecurity firm dragos. he says this hack wasn't necessarily sophisticated. but many smaller cities, like oldsmar don't always have the resources to protect against them. >> when you think about some of our most critical infrastructures they're pretty well protected. when you think about a municipality or smaller infrastructure, they don't get the same resources as the others. >> reporter: lee says on the local level communities need to invest in stronger cybersecurity, and dedicated staffing to protect against hacks. >> when it comes to smaller infrastructure sites they are much more vulnerable in the sense they aren't investing as much in security but they're not necessarily as big of a target. on a national scale that may not seem impactful but those 15,000 people and their families, that's extraordinarily impactful. >> reporter: secret service cyberunits are working in this case.

evermore album making me feel too many feelings. this pandemic is emotional enough without a stirring tribute to your grandmother. don't you turn your back on me! >> grandma marjorie had really great life lessons for taylor. it is a good album, stephen colbert. nicely done, stephen. good point. we're going to begin with this, in hours, a second impeachment trial of former president donald trump gets under way. the u.s. senate will decide whether mr. trump is guilty of inciting that deadly january 6th assault on the capitol over a period of months including a rally right before it happened. this is the first time a president has been tried after leaving office. >> house impeachment managers say mr. trump's conduct was, quote, the most grievous constitutional crime ever committed by a president. the former president's lawyers argue the capitol assault was planned several days in advance of the rally and therefore had nothing to do with the president's speech on january 6th. that leads aside comments made
8:03 am
before january 6th. cbs news poll out shows a small majority of americans 56% want mr. trump to be convicted. the senate trial is not expected to convict mr. trump, so what will the repercussions be for american political discourse? we ask cbs news senior political analyst and "60 minutes" correspondent john dickerson to reflect on this unprecedented moment. >> it should be novel enough that this week will be the first impeachment trial for a former president and that he's the first president to be impeached twice. but we're in fresh territory for other reasons. the trial taking place at the screen of the crime and those who sit in judgment are witnesses, victims and enablers. these circumstances make donald trump second impeachment about more than just his behavior. what is also at issue are the dangerous forces that fueled the insurrection, whether those forces can be extinguished and whether some in politics want them to be. the trial is not just about the past, but about the health of
8:04 am
our political future. donald trump lied when he said the election was stolen. lack of proof, evidence to the contrary, and repeated court losses did not stop him from selling that lie to his supporters. >> the mob was fed lies. >> reporter: said republican leader mitch mcconnell. >> they were provoked by the president, and other powerful people. >> reporter: while the impeachment case is being presented, senators are not allowed to speak and this echoes the silence of senators who, after the election, sat mute as the president told his lie. they did not speak up for the truth because they did not want to upset their voters or donald trump. they knew the election was not stolen, they knew there was a cost to this lie. still, they were silent. some gave comfort to the lie. putting the political tribe over the political good poisons politics. the insurrection showed how, but not everyone took that lesson from january 6th. the trial will tell us who is
8:05 am
still playing footsie with madness. when it is time to speak, senators can prove that they are not still captive to the big lie or the habits that fed it. they can affirm that joe biden did not steal the election and that it was wrong to say so. that their duty is to reality, not the comfort of their followers. republicans argue this impeachment violates the constitution, that's debatable, but there should be no debate about the violation when tribalism threatens a free and fair election. if it is still not possible to shed that tribalism to embrace reason or facts because it might anger voters or the defendant, we will know that whatever the final vote, the boiler that blew on january 6th still has a pilot light burning. >> wow. >> and john dickerson joins us now. good morning. this trial is also unusual in that the victims are the jurors, the attack on the capitol was an
8:06 am
attack on the representatives in the capitol. it is in effect personal. how do you think that's likely to affect things? >> well, anthony, i think it is going to charge the air with a lot more emotion than normally an impeachment trials. often they can be quite abstract, talking about what constitutes a high crime and misdemeanor, what constitutes the rule of law. but in this case, as you mentioned, the people listening actually felt what happened, and also we have another thing, which is that some senators believe their colleagues, some of them, gave aid and comfort to the conspiracy, the fantasy that led to the insurrection. as they talk, there may be some pointed language aimed at some of their colleagues. >> but the former president, john, still maintains a very strong grip on the republican party. our poll we referred to before shows that 71% say that though -- of republicans say those in the party who vote to impeach or convict president
8:07 am
trump are disloyal. so how do you think that's affecting the republican side of the aisle? >> well this is fascinating and this is, again, this is one of those things i was talking about, which is the larger forces in politics today that are distinct from the president. although, of course, he's at the center of the are republican party as his son and son-in-law said at his nomination, or renomination, they said, this isn't the republican party, it is donald trump's party. so to the extent this week is a full airing of his responsibility for the insurrection, that defines that party. and then you also have the figures you talked about, i was struck by 33% of republicans who say they would support donald trump if you went and formed another party. you have a split, a gulf in the republican party between those who think what the president did was outrageous and the insurrection was outrageous and the 33% who look at that and say, four more years. >> john if the outcome is inevitable, is this trial still
8:08 am
important? >> it is important because it is a forum for members of the senate and the house impeachment managers and the president's defense team to talk about issues that go beyond the insurrection. this insurrection hit at the center of american political life. the question of whether free and fair election can stand. the question really about whether facts and reason are still a port of public conversation and as they debate the issues, all of that stuff will come up, and this is also an opportunity for members of the senate to stand up and define this age as something different than that horrible moment on january 6th. >> i hope they take that opportunity. john dickerson, thank you very much. we will bring you the start of former president trump's second impeachment trial in a cbs news special report. we expect it to begin at 1:00 p.m. eastern, 10:00 a.m. pacific. ahead, a new push to vaccinate more americans, walgreens vp of pharmacy operations and uber's ceo will

celebrity tv therapist laura berman has revealed that her teenage son died of a deadly drug overdose on sunday. she shared this. my beautiful boy is gone. 16 years old. sheltering at home. a drug dealer connected with him on snapchat and gave him fentanyl laced xanax or percocet. toxicology will tell. and he overdosed in his room. snapchat said it's committed to working with law enforcement in this case.
8:16 am
admitted it has zero tolerance for anyone using its platform for illegal purposes. snapchat said it's constantly improving technology to detect drug related activity so we can intervene proactively. laura berman and her husband sam join us. i'm so sad to hear of your son's death. i couldn't believe it. i can't imagine the pain that the two of you are feeling. this is so raw and fresh. marvelled that you're sitting here with us, myself a parent would be in a fetal position and find it hard to sit upright. nobody knows what they'll do until in a position like this. laura, again, i'm so sorry. >> thank you, know that's the
8:18 am
word when you walk in and you find your son dead on the floor. i wish it were me. >> oh, my gosh. how did you know that he got the drugs from snapchat? i didn't even know that's possible. help me understand, what exactly does that mean? >> i didn't think this was possible either. i thought it was a place where kids hang out with other kids and maybe do a couple of risque things with each other, because of the way the app is designed to disappear as each post is seen. but his friend was kind enough -- you know, as sigh was trying to figure out what happened. his friend was kind enough to share a screen shot that our son had sent him of a drug dealer that he had connected with, or had connected with him on snapchat, who, you know, had created a menu. and had a twitter and a snapchat handle to reach him. and would deliver it to your door. so, you know, on one of his little quick walks around the neighborhood to get some air
8:19 am
between classes, he must have, you know, met a dealer. outside our home. and brought it into the house that way. >> and we all think snapchat is the place for the kids to do what they want to do because it's a suite where other kids are. but the reason the kids are there is because of functionality that allows things to be secret. but a screen grab has whatever you do on snapchat tag you for the rest of your life. and it's turned into a place where kids bully and sext and drug dealers find them. and that means it's dangerous. >> you say you think it was fentanyl laced with something. was he in any kind of pain he was taking the drugs to begin with? >> no. >> do you think he knew what he was taking? >> no, he was so careful about his health. he researched always. he had so many dreams and so many plans. he was getting ready to apply to college this year. or end of this year.
8:20 am
he wanted to go to new york university. he wanted to travel the world. he had so many plans. and also knew the risks of, you know, drugs and fentanyl and we talked about it so much. and what i learned from the police is there is a rash of deaths around the country, you know, as well as especially in los angeles, of, you know, kids doing the stupid experimentation, not realizing that their drugs are being laced with fenctanyl, because from a dealers's perspective that makes them more addictive so it's better for business. but it causes overdoses so easily and death, especially in kids whose bodies can't handle it. >> sam in laura's post, she said we were watching closely. you said you knew he was smoking marijuana. had you had any discussion with him, laura touched on it
8:21 am
briefly, about you were worried about him getting into trouble? because i think all of these parents who are sitting there watching, you know, your kids are in their room. you think you know what your kids are doing. you think, okay, he's doing some stuff we don't approve of, but we don't think he's doing that. i'm trying to figure out what is the message for parents. did you have any suspicion whatsoever that maybe he's getting into something that's a lot more serious than he realizes, sam? >> we did not. we were concerned because of the marijuana, so we would check on him every hour and make sure things weren't happening. but the real message to parents is it's work to check on the kids' social media and most of us don't do it. we don't even know how to get on their devices, most of us, much less monitoring what they're doing and that's life or death for us. >> have any of you had conversations with snapchat? we read the statement? have you call reached out to them directly? what do you want them to do?
8:22 am
>> the police are the ones to reach out. when they reach out to snapchat, they do not get help. snapchat has pledged help publicly and said nothing to us. they're just doing it in a press release. and we're concerned that the santa monica police tell us that both snapchat and twitter do not help them when there's an investigation. >> all right. >> most they're willing to do is bring down a profile. >> and that -- >> laura and sam, we thank you so much. i'm sorry we have to go. i really appreciate -- i'm in awe, really, that you're here. i think you will help many people, again, i'm so sorry for thee loss of your son. >> thank you, gayle. >> thank you for taking the time. we'll be right back.

8:33 am
there wasn't even anything in that cup. we were just standing there. they did a great job. everybody was shot separately. >> it was an amazing launch. and it looks incorrect. my first thought is i don't know if i'd walk into bruce's barn but you climbed a mountain. >> i did like walking into bruce's barn. i love anything bruce springsteen. thank you, paramount plus. my talk of the table is walgreens, big new step. it starts on friday. the pharmacy chain will expand vaccinations in stores across 15 states and major cities. this is part of president biden's federal retail pharmacy program he's been talking about. it sends the vaccines directly to dozens of national pharmacy chains and independent pharmacy networks so people are eligible to get vaccinated locally.
8:34 am
walgreens and uber, think about this combo, are revealing a new partnership to give people in underserved communities free rides to vaccine appointments. i like this. the initiative will start in chicago with plans to expand to other cities, rina shah is the group's vice president of operations. she joins us with uber's ceo dara ckhosrowshahi. rina, how many have walgreens administered and how many more doses do you expect to receive? >> gayle, thank you very much for having us. we've been extremely humble to be able to provide covid vaccinations to the long-term care nursing staff. thus far, we've been able to provide 2.3 million vaccinations to individuals across the country. and as we get into this next phase, the federal pharmacy partnership has been provided 1
8:35 am
million vaccinations for this upcoming week. and we'll receive around 180,000 vaccinations to help kick off this week. >> yeah. a lot of people are saying, here's my arm. please give me the shot. >> yeah. >> dara, how's it going to work with uber, because we've heard stories of people that can't get there to get the vaccine. and how are you going to participate with walgreens? and what happens if people get in the car and want to go to cvs, dara? >> well, we'll encourage them to go to walgreens. it's our feeling that transportation should never be a barrier to health care, especially something as important as vaccinations. this is spart of a larger commitment with uber to provide 10 million free rides to areas and especially to underserved communities so that everyone can have access to this vital vaccine as it becomes more readily available. and we're just thrilled to work with walgreens, because
8:36 am
walgreens has centers essentially all around the country. we're going to start in chicago but we're going to expand into houston, atlanta, el paso as well. and really provide this kind of health care to all communities, regardless of -- especially the ones that are hardest hit by the virus. >> hey, dara, it's tony dokoupil. on the logistics and practicalities of it, do people have to have uber on their phone? do they have to sign up anew? do you have to have a smartphone? what are the logistics and technicalities of it? >> so, as you schedule an appointment with walgreens, you're going to get an email from uber. so you can -- most people already have an ub rer accoer a. if you don't have an uber account, you can create an account and have access to free transportation to walgreens and get your vaccine. >> rina, each state has different eligibility requirements. how is this going to work?
8:37 am
how can people get their vaccine by the end of this week? >> you're right. every state has different requirements on who's eligible. so, what we have through our scheduling process, we'll ensure those individuals that are eligible are the ones able to schedule an appointment. as soon as they schedule an appointment, as dara mentioned, then they'll be notified what their options are. and if they want to utilize the uber option, to go ahead and be able to come into our stores and get their vaccination. >> dara, i so love this partnership. what concerns do you have about pulling it off because this is a big deal. it's so important and so badly needed. >> well, i think the biggest concern for me is actually education, and we've worked with the cdc. one of the real barriers for underserved communities to get a vaccine is the trust, is it safe? how effective is it? so, i think that we not only have to provide transportation and logistics but also education. and we're partnering with the national urban league with
8:38 am
walgreens and other partners to make sure that the message gets out there, it's safe, it's effective. and in this case, transportation is not going to get in the way of your staying safe. >> hey, dara, i've got a quick question on the broader pandemic right now. because uber is actually an interesting indicator of where we are in the pandemic. you said earlier in the year, or late last year, that ridership was down something like 70% during the peak of the pandemic. what's it like now? are people beginning to get back out there. >> ridership is down now. it's not quite as bad as 70%. but it's still down quite significantly in the u.s. and europe as well. the asia pacific regions, latin america, are coming back faster. but ridership is down significantly. and i think this is all about all of us playing a part to get back to some semblance of normal in a safe way. >> yeah, absolutely. >> rina, there's all sorts of reports of doses going unused because they're not properly stored. what are you all doing at
8:39 am
walgreens to make sure, because this is also a big deal on how this vaccine is stored and kept safe? >> yeah, the storage and handling is such a critical component of making sure we're handling the vaccines so all of our stores are equipped to support vaccinations, it may be the pfizer vaccine that requires the ultra cold freezers or trial ice. or the moderna vaccine that's available. so we do have end-to-end processes and policies in place so that not one dose gets wasted. so the intent is that we have individuals that have signed up to get vaccinations in case there's a cancellation or any other situation that occurs, we do reach out to other patients that are able to get the vaccine so we don't miss a single dose. and as dara mentioned, it's so important, especially in the underserved communities that we're able to educate on the importance of vaccines. but then also able to support the vaccinations as those that are interested. >> dara, one final question from me about covid protocols for uber drivers.
8:40 am
because every time you get in the car you are getting in a car with a stranger. are the drivers regularly tested on a regular basis? how does that work at your place? >> the protocols that we have in place in every country depend on the health authorities. right now, we've got a technology with uber to make sure that your driver is masked up. we actually have facial recognition technology to make certain. and we have guidelines in place. leave your window open, these protocols have been safe. and are going to hopefully bring us to a place where truly the vaccinations are when things are really going to open up. >> yeah, when all else fails, just stick your head out the window. like the dogs do. it's very effective. >> we appreciate it, guys. look, this is a great partnership because there are two things that prevent people from getting vaccinations, they don't want it because they don't know enough about it, they don't trust it. or they can't get there. this new partnership addresses both of those.
8:41 am

8:47 am
clothes for bigger size women who are designer. there's a lot of different issues here. >> ashley, it's anthony, you say in the interview, at this point, my skin is so thick and i've dealt with so many people basically saying we don't have that for her, how did you decide to fight this? and how have you fought it so successfully? >> well, first of all, thank you for saying that. second of all, i've been criticized my whole career. again, it's been 21 years of saying i'm ftoo fat. i'm too shthin, too loud. one time somebody told me on social media stop making fat look cool. you're going to kill somebody. that's when it hit me, i need to continue to create change for younger generations. and i also understood what affirmations were. your words have power. your words can dictate life or death. and i'm so glad i understood that. affirmations for me are key,
8:48 am
especially getting through the hard times with people on social media. >> you said you're now talking to a therapist because you're juggling being a new mom -- not a new wife -- a businesswoman. now, you decided you need to seek out help from a therapist. what did you need help for, specifically, ashley, if you don't mind sharing? >> no, it's fine. i think 2020 was really hard for a lot of people. not only did we have the pandemic. i became a new mother. me and my family were living in nebraska under my mother's roof, altogether. and i had a lot of questions who am i and how can i still be a businesswoman and a mother and a great wife. i doesidn't find it to be a prom to go and ask for help. i really encourage others to ask for help especially in uncertain times. >> you know, it took me 12 years to lose my baby weight. i'm wondering did you set a goal, like i've got to get to "x" number or are you saying
8:49 am
forget the number it doesn't matter? >> gayle, i'm so glad you keep it so real on social media because you're making me feel so much better. i thought it would all fall off when i was breast-feeding. it doesn't. you know what, i realize that my body is my body. i still got 20 extra pounds on me and i am loving all of it. >> that's because you look so good. ashley graham, always good to see you. our best to you. >> thank you. >> ashley's article in "the wall street journal" magazine is available online today and on newsstands saturday. in this morning's podcast we speak with founder and ceo of slice, ilir sela, how the company is helping independent customers reach customers
