continues all day on cbsn bay area. >> cbs this morning is up next. have a great day. good morning to our viewers in the west and welcome to "cbs this morning." it is wednesday, february 10th, 2021. the stunning impeachment proceedings of president trump, with some republicans even criticizing the defense. we will have opening arguments today. and we have an exclusive conversation with former seahawks player chad leer. for the first time aaliyah speaks publicly how she said he assaulted her.

and president biden plans to reopen schools and we're in one of the country's largest school districts where thousands of people don't want to return because of safety concerns. and sarah thomas made history sunday when she became the first woman ever to referee a super bowl. she will tell us what it means to her. >> great to see her on the field with that ponytail. but first here's today's "eye opener." it's your world in 90 seconds. >> we cannot have a president inciting and mobilizing mobs because they refuse to accept the will of the people of the united states. >> one side is doing a great job and the other side is doing a terrible job. >> donald trump said to be furious about the rambling case made by his attorneys. >> off to a rocky start. sub-zero wind chills in the

midwest and more snow for the northeast. >> i'm concerned about an ice storm all the way to the tennessee valley. >> mark cuban confirms his team will no longer play the anthem before home games. >> aunt jemima has a new name. replacing the logo long considered racist. and move over. a herd of cows started running down a busy highway. >> fabulous. and all that matters. >> as the senate is putting donald trump on trial, a town beach council is getting ready to discuss whether he has to move out of mar-a-lago. >> if he does have to move out of mar-a-lago, there's a place he can go -- and the internet goal when an attorney appeared as a kitten. >> can you hear me, judge? >> i can hear you. i think it is a filter. >> if it is, i don't know how to

remove it. i have my assistant. she's trying. i'm prepared to go forward. i'm here live. i'm not a cat. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. >> don't worry, we will show that later on. if you need a laugh, that's it. >> it works every time.ntil you story. we welcome you to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with this -- the opening arguments officially begin today in former president trump's second impeachment trial. now yesterday house impeachment managers drew a direct line between the ex-president's words and the violence on january 6th. mr. trump's defense attorneys were met with bipartisan confusion is the word people are using today. nancy cordes was on capitol hill during the riot. she's back there now with more on this story. good morning. it was quite a day yesterday. >> reporter: it really was. and today what we are going to see is the house impeachment managers lay out their case that

this building may have been attacked a month ago, and you can still see that it's heavily guarded today, but they are going to argue that actually the president's role goes back much farther than that to when he first began claiming that this election was rigged, that it was stolen, that it was fault. they are going -- fraudulent. they are going to see it wasn't simply an errant comment here or there but a campaign of lies that led to an uprising from followers that left half a dozen people dead. >> presidents can't inflame insurrection in their final weeks and then walk away like nothing happened. >> reporter: the house managers previewed their argument yesterday. >> we are going to the capitol where our problems are. it's that direction -- >> reporter: using a powerful video that walked senators through the assault on their own chamber. >> get down! >> we fight.

we fight like hell. >> reporter: along with mr. trump's actions before and after. >> we love you. you're very special. >> he celebrated their cause. he validated their attack. he told them "remember this day forever." >> reporter: mr. trump's defense got off on the wrong foot. >> we changed what we were going to do on account that we thought that the house managers' presentation was well done. >> reporter: lawyer bruce castor, who specializes in medical malpractice and personal injury cases, kept diverging from the issue at hand. >> nebraska, you're going to hear, is quite a judicial thinking place. we still know what records are, right? on the thing you put the needle down on, and you play. it. >> reporter: senators called it rambling. a rocky start, even inappropriate, and those were just the republicans. >> president trump's team were disorganized. they did everything they could but to talk about the question

at hand. >> reporter: still, just one of them, louisiana's bill cassidy, changed his position, joining five other republicans who voted with democrats to let the trial go forward. >> the house managers made a compelling, cogent case, and the president's team did not. >> reporter: leading the house managers' case is maryland's jamie raskin who described that day in personal terms, the risk to his daughter and son-in-law who were with him at the capitol. >> she said, "dad, i don't want to come back to the capitol." of all the terrible, brutal things i saw and i heard on that day and since then, that one hit me the hardest. >> reporter: the house impeachment managers will have their first of two eight-hour days today to lay out their case, and then the defense gets the same amount of time followed

by questioning from the senators themselves who remember all too well what happened a little over a month ago because they were among the targets, tony. >> nancy, thank you very much. now let's bring in chief washington correspondent major garrett. good morning to you. so the democrats did what is regarded as a pretty good job in reminding people of the emotion and the power and how scary that day was, january 6th. but they still need 11 more votes to move into their column if they want to get to a conviction. how are they going to go about doing that? >> reporter: they're going to say that what happened on january 6th was not an isolated incident, that it was the culmination of a campaign that sought to undermine the constitution, undermine support of our country for institutions and support for a free and fair election. that, they will say, is a high crime and a misdemeanor. if it isn't, there can be no rational definition for this country going forward as to what is a high crime and misdemeanor because they will argue if you're the president of the united states, the most powerful position politically in our country, and you wage a months's

long campaign to undermain faith and confidence in a free and fair election and when a riot storms the capitol and you do nothing to stop it, how else could that not be a high crime and misdemeanor? they will ask republicans to dig into their conscience and ask that question and try to come up with an answer different than the one we saw yesterday. >> do you expect the president's lawyers to engage directly with that challenging concept, the president brought up the fact that the election was, in his words, fraudulent, stolen, people went to the capitol in his name, wearing his name on the hats, his name on the flags. are they going to engage directly with that complicatesed legal matter? >> reporter: only by accident. and because of the performance yesterday, you have to allow for possibilities that they will accidentally do something they don't intend because yesterday's performance was by all accounts, even president trump's, a pitiful one. so that's always possible. no, they've already said what they're going to argue. the president has the first amendment right to talk about things he thinks are important, and he didn't incite, there's nothing directly inciteful about

his language on that devil ray. they will say those who committed those acts of violence should be prosecuted individually for actions they undertook of their free volition. they'll pretty much leave it at that and also say, yes, by the way, the constitution, the way we read it at least doesn't allow you to impeach someone who's no longer in office. the house managers yesterday made a compeling case that the constitution does. what i think is interesting about that, tony, is i spent 30 years in this town listening to republicans tell me over and over about the importance of the textural, verifiable language of the constitution, and everything about the debates around the constitution and our attachment to british law. house democrats made that exact case yesterday, and republicans looked at it, listened to it, and then looked the other way. >> what do we know about the former president trump and how he feels about what he saw unfold on tv yesterday? >> reporter: he did not like it. he was not pleased. in part because it was such a weak and rambling defense of what the president did or didn't

do. also, the president likes his attorneys to be killers, to have great presence. those were not killers on the senate floor. they didn't have great presence. and they barely made an argument. >> i can imagine the president not being happy that one of his lawyers acknowledged that the mouse presentation was pretty good -- house presentation was pretty good. >> reporter: and the country made the decision and he didn't win the election -- and by the way, he might be prosecuted sunday. not exactly what you want your defense counsel hill to bringse. >> he may have needed a long walk after that. thank you so much. president biden's plan to reopen schools is now due to come out on friday. public schools across the country have struggled with covid safety upgrades. meg oliver is in philadelphia where schools are still not open. how is the biden administration trying to help on this? >> reporter: good morning. sources tell cbs news the cdc is considering five areas of coronavirus mitigation. from basics including masks and social distancing to school

cleaning and ventilation. if these guidelines are met, vaccinating teachers is not considered necessary to reopen. here in philadelphia, the teachers say they won't return schools are safe. >> i'm missing the connections with my students -- >> reporter: third grade teacher david malone has been teaching from his basement since last march. >> we're going to read -- >> reporter: do you want to return in person? >> 100%. absolutely. if all safety measures are met, then i do want to go back to school. >> reporter: malone is one of thousands of philadelphia teachers who refused to return to their classrooms due to safety concerns. >> to know that the ventilation system is working here at not just our school but all the schools. >> reporter: malone works at edmonds elementary where the ventilation system has not been upgraded. >> we have very old ventilation systems, and they decide to put fans into all of the classrooms. as you can see, there's not one fan installed now. >> reporter: most schools are getting help. the school district of

philadelphia says 183 of the 215 schools are ready to return. it says it's poured $65 million into covid precautions, including new bathroom and classroom setups to ensure social distancing, touchless hand sanitizer stations, and ppe. $4 million has gone to fixing ventilation systems. is your school safe for teachers and students to return? >> yes. >> reporter: at william h. hunter elementary school, principal heather mall-miller is ready to go back. her school made a $20,000 upgrade to its ventilation system, but says that's just one element of safety. >> i think that there's levels of protection. human behavior, social distancing, hand washing, things like that, signs to help support our students. we have a ton of ppe. >> reporter: according to the school district, fixing the ventilation in older school buildings can be a difficult, time-consuming process. parts may need to be special ordered, and in some cases, duct

work needs to be replaced throughout the school. 32 schools in the district still have ventilation problems. it's unclear how long it will take to get them fixed. the superintendent says they are willing to keep those schools closed until repairs are made while they reopen the rest. the teachers union is holding out. >> i feel that we all have to stand in solidarity with each other. i feel that if one school goes back, then we all go back. >> reporter: is that fair to the students? >> yes. because our priority is the students. we need to make sure that they stay safe, that they do not get sick. we all want t that also our staff stays healthy, as well. >> reporter: the ventilation system here at hunter elementary has been upgraded. the cdc says that's key to lowering viral particles that could be in the air and inhaled by students and staff. even after fixing ventilation and vaccinating teachers, malone says they won't return to the classroom until long-term issues are also addressed like asbestos

and mold. gayle? >> you got to get that straight. there's so much work to be done. nobody wants to go to school with asbestos. thank you very much, meg. highly contagious strains of the coronavirus are spreading across this country. the cdc has recorded nearly 1,000 cases of the three variants first reported in britain, brazil, and south africa, accord 35 states. and now we're getting new insights into how the virus mutates from a team of doctors who studied one extraordinary case, extraordinary is the word here. carty eer vans with the story. we've never heard anything like this. >> reporter: this is the story of a 45-year-old man in boston who had a covid-19 variant for five months before he died. now during that time, his doctors found the virus inside him had mutated -- get this -- more than 20 times. this is an extraordinary case considering the life cycle of the virus in a healthy pson is typically only around two weeks. now the reason why it lasted so long is because the man was

immunocompromised, like an estimated ten million other americans. in this case, the man's immune response wasn't strong enough to fully eradicate the virus. it was just strong enough that it forced the virus to adapt and essentially mutate. now the doctors who treated him published a report in november, but the story's getting renewed attention with the emergents of variants like the one from south africa and the one in the uk. we spoke with one of these doctors, jonathan lee. he says this case is shedding light o on how the virus adapts. >> i think this particular case is in retrospect a harbinger of what was to come. and i think that it just goes to show that we need to do a better job of monitoring the spread of these variants, and that only by looking for these variants will we be able to detect it. and that it's something that i think we haven't done as well up to now. >> this disease, this virus continues to baffle, surprise, and scare. we're hearing a lot about those variants from south africa and the uk.

in the last few weeks, cases in this country seem to hav been steadily declining. so do you think the variants could change that? >> reporter: well, dr. fauci's been warning about this. he's saying there's evidence that people who have recovered from the coronavirus can get reinfected with these variants. that's why there's more urgency than ever to speed up our vaccine rollout so more people have some measure of protection and the virus will have less of an opportunity to mutate. it's going to give vaccine developers time to work on boosters to better protect against mutations. the key is going to be doing the genetic testing to detect these mutations when they get out into the wild. >> still so much to learn. thank you, carter. much of the country faces a blast of bitterly cold weather this morning, along with a series of snowstorms threatening the east and midwest. an icy mass of air will dive down from western canada reaching as far south as texas by this weekend. cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff

berardelli joins us. good morning. >> good morning, anthony. good morning, everyone. the polar vortex is going to pay us a visit, and it is not going to be a very pleasant guest, unfortunately. bringing with it the coldest air in the world right now, down canada, and all the way down to texas. we have a big blocking warm high across the arctic that is displacing and forcing an arctic invasion across the nation's heartland. boy is it going to get cold aol -- especially heading into sunday morning. it's already cold, but there will be the coldest morning. look at that -- 51 below, the windchill in fargo. 48 below in rockford, illinois. about 13 below in oklahoma city. in kansas city, 16 below, and you know, during the day in kansas city and st. louis, it's going to be colder there than it will be in fairbanks, alaska. now along this boundary, very cold and very warm air. lots of alerts going up because there's going to be a conveyor belt of storm after storm, kind of an assembly line of storm after storm. it's going to be ice right along

the boundary, then snow to the north. in places like dallas and little rock and paducah, it is ice. east of that in places like washington, d.c., and west virginia, it's snow, and it will pile up. but it will not really get to boston, and it will barely get to new york. that's because it's going to run into a wall of cold and dry air. it's never too cold to snow. but sometimes it can suppress systems to the south. there's the icy accumulation to the south. places like d.c., three to six inches of snow. some places in virginia and west virginia, maybe as much as ten inches. tony, if that's not enough fun for you, we have at least two to three more storms in the pipeline. >> the take, diaway it could be coldest valentine's day on record. gentlemen, get the flowers before sunday morning. you're not going to want to go out. how a team of doctors is taking vaccinations into communities to make the shots more

welcome back to "cbs thi morning." for the first time, the woman who says she was attacked by former seattle seahawks player chad wheeler is speaking out. last week, you may recall, wheeler pleaded not guilty to three charges including domestic violence assault. his ex-girlfriend showed up in court to face him. she says that wheeler is still a threat to her safety, and now she's sharing her story in an exclusive interview with "cbs this morning." she spoke with our national correspondent, jericka duncan. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. her name is alleah taylor, and it was a leaked photo of her injuries that made national headlines. now she's ready to share her story and, most importantly, she

wanted domestic violence survivors to know they're not alone. we want to warn you, some of what you're about to see and hear is graphic. >> i still have to regularly get my concussion checked. i have bolts and a steel plate i'm going to have forever in my arm. i'm going to have -- going to have to deal with this the rest of my life. >> reporter: that's the reality for 27-year-old alleah taylor after she says she was attacked by her then-boyfriend chad wheeler. taylor says the pair dated for six months with barely any arguments. >> we were like best friends. we did everything together. i even introduced him to my family. we would baby sit my nephew together. >> reporter: but according to taylor, that all changed on january 22nd. starting with a text from wheeler that he shaved his head. >> he loved just loved his long hair. refused to cut it. and it -- it surprised me and worried me.

i came home, and chad was trying to play it off as if he just kind of cut his hair. then as time went on throughout the day, he started going downhill emotionally. >> reporter: taylor later told police it was the beginning of a manic episode, adding she knew wheeler suffered from bipolar disorder. then according to taylor, wheeler snapped and into a dark place. >> and he -- he stood up, and he told me to bow down, and asked him why. and he didn't respond. he just told me to bow down again. i told him no, and he -- he immediately grabbed my neck. and that's -- that's when things began. >> reporter: do you recall what happened after that? >> when he grabbed my neck, he threw me on the bed. and i remember looking up at him and asked him, please stop,

chad. it's me. and i just immediately knew the look in his eyes, that was it. >> reporter: airline at that, who is 5 -- taylor, who is 5'9", said that's when wheeler, 6'7" weighing more than 300 pounds, tried to choke her. according to taylor she blacked out beltwtwice before the attac over. >> i looked down and there was blood on my hand. and i remember getting up and running to the bathroom. chad was standing by the bed, by the doorway. and he was sipping his smoothie like, wow, you're still alive. please help me now. i'm going to die. >> reporter: taylor says she then locked herself in the bathroom, called 911, and texted her family and wheeler's father for help. according to police reports, it took three officers and two sets of handcuffs to restrain wheeler. police said wheeler kept apologizing as he was arrested. do you think that chad's behavior is directly connected

to a mental health issue? >> to be honest, i don't know. he went and ate dinner after doing this to me. and he didn't take the same approach with the cops as he did with me. >> reporter: the seahawks dropped wheeler saying the team strongly condemns this act of domestic violence. if convicted, wheeler faces 8 to 12 years in prison. last week, he pleaded not guilty to two domestic violence-related charges and one count of resisting arrest. taylor was in the courtroom. why was it so important for you to appear in court? >> didn't want him to think that -- that he had that power over me. that i wasn't going to defend myself, and i thought how easy would that be for him and his legal team to be able to say whatever they want without having to look me in the eye. >> reporter: do you think he should serve prison time for what he did to you?

>> yes. yes. i definitely do think that he should. i have to say the hardest part of all this wasn't -- wasn't the surgeries, wasn't any of that. it was getting a call from my niece and nephews, they thought they had lost me. and the pain in their voice -- i will never forget that. i will never forget that. >> reporter: and she doesn't want her story to be forgotten either. how grateful are you to be alive? >> beyond grateful. i really feel like god has blessed me with another chance. i want to try to use the time i've been blessed with to help other people and to get the story out and make sure people don't feel alone. and that this doesn't happen again. >> reporter: cbs news reached out to the attorneys for chad wheeler, they declined to comment on the case.

wheeler's trial is set to begin in washington state in april. a reminder -- if you need help related to domestic violence or mental health, we've posted free resources on our website, cbsnews.com. a lot of strength exhibited by there young lady. >> very brave young woman. >> so important and powerful that she's speaking up. and especially the pictures are heartbreaking. and the numbers -- her height, his height, her weight, his weight -- >> 6'7", 5'9". >> a shift in the demeanor. six months of dating and that -- >> she said sanot even an argument. she was conflicted because she cared so much about him. this is one of those difficult stories to tell because it's not just the domestic violence but recognizing that there is a mental health component in this. >> yes. it's interesting that she had to say at one point, "chad, it's me." >> as a matter of mental health awareness, being bipolar does not mean you beat up your family members. >> exactly. very important point. >> something else going on here. >> thank you very much. coming up, how a group of

in our series "vaccinating america," we're looking at inequities among the most vulnerable groups hit by the pandemic, particularly communities of color. more than 32 million people nationwide have received at least one dose, but a proportionately -- a disproportionately small number are black and hispanic. in new york city, 51% of white people aged 65 and older have been vaccinated. but that plunges to just 12% of

blacks and 15% of hispanics in the same age group. nancy chen shows us a group of doctors in new york helping push for equal access. we're going to pull your number and preregister you -- >> reporter: long known as providers for their communities, places of worship are now working with doctors to bring covid-19 vaccines directly to neighborhoods hardest hit. this church-turned-vaccine site is in the bronx which has the highest number of hospitalizations and deaths in new york city since the start of the pandemic. >> they check in, then they're waiting. and then they come to one of the booths. >> reporter: dr. jacqueline delmont is the chief medical officer of somos, a team of physicians providing health care for low-income communities of color. >> we're out here trying to vaccinate our elderly, predominantly from underserved communities. >> reporter: governor andrew cuomo and mayor bill de blasio turned to enlist somos as part

of their covid vaccine equity task force. >> we understood from the beginning testing and vaccination, that we needed to integrate in the community, that these are patients that cannot commute either because of age or financial reasons. >> reporter: somos brings vaccination sites to them. in powerball developments, churches, even yankee stadium. the group head given out more than 37,000 shots at 37 sites. at that church, to avoid and improve inequality. the only way that will happen is you put it in the hands of the people, the people trusted in the community. >> reporter: how do you feel about getting a shot inside your church? >> great. >> it's like a home away from home. >> reporter: joseph christian is a parishioner here and had no problem getting signed up. >> one of the members goes to church here, and she's the one

that called me. >> reporter: do you think that you would have gotten your shot so quickly if you had gone somewhere else -- >> no. i don't think so, no. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," nancy chen. >> thank you. coming up next, vlad duthiers has the stories we know you're going to be talking about today. there's some good ones. first, it's ♪ ♪

♪ yep, it's wednesday, february 10th, 2021. also known as hump day in most places. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. tony dokoupil, that's anthony mason. opening arguments begin today in the impeachment trial of former president trump, what we can expect after yesterday's stunning start to the proceedings. sarah thomas helped level the playing field when she became the first woman to officiate a super bowl. she tells us how she got there. and a little free art gallery to soothe the soul during the pandemic. how a whole neighborhood is helping bring tiny art into people's homes. first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. >> the opening arguments

officially begin today of former president trump's second impeachment trial. >> they're going to say it wasn't simply an errant comment here or there, but a campaign of lies that led to an uprising from his followers. >> what we know about the former president trump and how he feels about what he saw unfold on tv yesterday. >> he did not like it. he was not pleased, it was such a weak and rambling defense. >> if the guidelines are met, vaccinating teachers is not considered necessary to reopen. here in philadelphia, the teachers say they won't return to the classroom until all schools are safe. >> the polar vortex is going to pay us a visit, and it is not going to be a very pleasant guest, unfortunately. >> as expected, the senate passed a vote saying the impeachment would go on, the senate does have jurisdiction to try a former president. so there goes trump's first strategy. now, now that that's failed, he'll be moving on to the it

wasn't me defense. >> you knew when he said it wasn't me, we would hear shaggy. >> i don't think we'll hear it at the trial in the senate. just my guess. we'll see. we will see opening arguments this week, they officially start today in the second impeachment trial of former president donald trump. yesterday house impeachment managers and mr. trump's defense team previewed their strategies before a vote on whether the trial should be allowed to move forward. >> in the end, the senate voted 56-64 to proceed, finding the trial is constitutional, even though mr. trump is out of office. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy what can we expect to see and hear today? >> reporter: the house impeachment managers have 16 hours, anthony, over the next two days to lay out their case that the president, the former president incited the insurrection we saw here on january 6th. they're going to make that case

using mr. trump's own tweets before, during and after the assault, and the many speeches he gave in the months leading up to the assault in which he insisted that the election had been stolen from him. and they're going to play more of that graphic video that we saw yesterday, juxtaposing mr. trump's words with the actions of his followers. now, mr. trump's lawyers are going to have a couple of days here to regroup after republicans slammed their performance yesterday. still, just six republicans voted with democrats to allow this trial to move forward. louisiana's bill cassidy was one of those republicans. he said the house impeachment managers changed his mind and convinced him at least that this trial is constitutional. >> president's trump team was disorganized. they did everything they could but to talk about the question at hand, and when they talked about it, they kind of glided over it, almost as if they were embarrassed of their arguments. >> reporter: sources tell cbs

news that president trump was not happy with the performance of his lawyers. but if yesterday was any indication it may not matter much if they put on a poor defense because it would take 17 republicans in order to convict president trump and so far at least, anthony, most of them seem to be sticking by him. >> not even close to those numbers, nancy, thank you. cbs news will continue to bring you coverage of the second impeachment trial of former president trump in a special report. the senate trial is expected to begin around noon eastern, 9:00 a.m. pacific time. more than three months after 15-year-old quawan charles died in louisiana, one of the last people to see him alive is now under arrest. janet irvin faces a felony charge of failure to report a missing child along with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. video shows irvin picking up ca kwan f quawan from his father's home, the day his parents reported him missing. irvin told the family's investigators that quawan did

drugs at her home, then left, claiming he was going to kill himself. his body was found four days later in ankle deep water in a sugar cane ditch. the autopsy and toxicology report shows he drowned with a small amount of alcohol and thc in his system. the local sheriff says the death investigation is ongoing. the charles family attorney says he expects people will start coming forward to explain how quawan died. >> i'm confident that my office has put together an extremely strong case against mrs. irvin. >> we believe that other folks that have information now will see the walls closing inn and i believe either from guilt or self-preservation will begin to talk. >> now we have been unable to reach irvin for comment on this story. her bail has not been set and she is still in custody at this hour. remember, we covered this story from the very beginning. it was troubling from the very start and now to hear she told his family's attorneys that she

did drugs with him and her son, quawan and left and he claimed he was going to kill himself, you don't call the family, you don't call the police, and you're the last person -- the story is -- there is something very smelly about the story. i hope the family is right when they say maybe more mpeople wil come forward. upsetting. ahead, we'll talk with nfl official sarah thomas who just became the first woman to ever officiate a super bowl. hear what the historic occasion

sarah sarah thomas, remember that name, made history on sunday as the first woman to ever referee a super bowl. wow. this is not the first time she's

broken barriers in a male dom fated sport. back in 2015, she became the nfl's first full-time female referee. that was a big deal. she was the first woman to officiate a playoff game in 2019. sarah thomas joins us now 48 hours later. sarah thomas hello. we welcome you. tell me this. what is it like when dreams come true? >> there is no words for it, gayle. i couldn't say that i ever set out to be a football official, but i ended up falling in love with it. i often joke about i hated the officials when i was playing and they hated me. but as you pursue this career and you fall in love with what you are doing and to be a part of such a strong fraternity and they let a little sister in and th i know there will be some women following me. >> you said i might bet teary eyed. did you? >> i did in my hotel room.

>> tell us. >> saturday night my mother pinned an angel on me when i was a freshman in college. she said i may not be there with you in person but i'll be with you in spirit as you go through this journey of college. so she found that angel and she pinned it on a little note and said we're not going to be with you in person but we're there with you in spirit. will you pin this on your uniform. and then i listened to, rise up, that song. just every word from the start to the end, i have chills now and that got me emotional because i would do this a thousand times again and rise up in this over and over. that song just has a lot of meaning. it just kind of choked me up sunday morning. >> sara, i'm struck by this started for you in fifth grade when you were the only girl on the basketball team. >> my mom's oldest sister, she

coached the u.s. world team in 1973 that went to moscow, russia. and the first female coach that ever coached collegiately is from mississippi. and my aunt coached her. my aunt looked at me and said, are you going to play basketball. i said, they don't have a girls team. she said go out for the boys team, so i did. >> you're on the field. it is four refs total. you are running up and down the field. did you always feel confident on the field that day? did you feel sbimitated? it's the super bowl. did it feel differently to you that particular day? >> not at all, gayle. when you look at the nfl any given sunday, we treat it as it's our super bowl. this game was no different. with the crew i had the opportunity to work with and paul shepherd leading the crew and the crew i was on the entire season, wepr prepare all year t work it. we were prepared, and we were

ready. >> i don't know if you know this, but millions of people who watch football games at home think they're the best referees in the history of referees. >> that's true. >> nthey say everything. they've got the cameras and know the right calls. what's it like being on the field that that's going on in people's homes? >> it's amazing the professionalism that the nfl illustrates on the field and off the field with players and coaches. and it's short-lived. they'll express their passion about what happened, and i'll go back and review things and review the whole entire game. to all the fans at hom home,especially later into the game, i guess they're seeing it like double vision or triple vision, maybe they're into the adult beverages. >> good point. >> everyone has a great time, and i'm glad there are a lot of fans out there that support the nfl. >> we have a selfie that your son took with you on the field on sunday. what did it mean for your son to see you, for your daughter to see you refereeing the super

bowl? >> yeah. both of my sons were there, brady and bridley. and of course bailey was there. them being there i think just gave me another sense of just calm. that they're there. they're safe. and i often saying about the first in any of this is not what i set out to do, but being a mom first is what i am to do. >> yeah. >> having them there and to share this with me, it was just unbelievable. >> why did -- i loved the ponytail so much. i loved seeing that ponytail. >> gayle, don't you just love that blonde ponytail? whenever jared wilson hired me, he told me i needed to tuck my hair to blend in and wear little to no make-up. i said, you're crossing the line. there's a lot of things i thank the good lord for, and make-up's one of them. i understood why he said that, so i wouldn't immediately be

stereotyped that i shouldn't be out there because i'm a woman. but as things progressed, it's been my hair anymore. of course, all of us -- my aunt is 102 as of yesterday. and she can spot me real easily. so it's awkward for me to see myself with a ponytail. but when jared hired me, i whor a ponytail. you knew i was a woman. it feels a lot better and a lot more natural with my hair in a ponytail. >> as the song goes, you're a whole lot ta woman. you're a bad ass, we are cheering you on. thank you, thank you. >> thank you. ahead, one artist found a way to give people access to unique pieces of art during the pandemic when many galleries are closed. vlad duthiers will show us how her tiny art gallery is making a huge difference. you're watching "cbs this morning."

many people, probably mostly people, have been unable to get to art galleryin says because o the pandemic. one artist found a creative way to bring the art into people's homes. vlad has more. good morning again. >> good morning again. you've probably heard of these little free libraries. if you don't know what they are, they're little cabinets set up in neighborhoods where people can take and leave a book for free. now one seattle woman is doing that with art. and while the artwork may be tiny, it's making a world of difference. tucked away on a quiet suburban street in seattle sits one of the smallest art galleries in the country. it's filled with paintings, sculptures, and easels. but what you won't find is a price tag. here at the free little art gallery, you can leave with a free piece of art and maybe a

little inspiration. >> keychain -- >> one of you has to take this. >> reporter: the artist is the mastermind behind it all. >> all of our museums and galleries and other art forms have been shut down. so this is a substitute for that right now. >> reporter: she started making little pieces of art back in 2019 when she and some of her artist friends created tiny art to cheer her mother up during chemotherapy treatments. when the coronavirus hit, stacy took the idea a step further and created what little postcard-sized pieces of art. i ended up sending about 500. as you might imagine, was not totally sustainable. so inspired by the little free libraries, i thought that that might be a better way to offer people these little pieces of art. >> reporter: about a day after stacy opened the tiny space, she added some unique characters who have taken on a life of their own. >> the little figures kind of added some -- some drama and a

little storytelling. >> reporter: one day, one of her belofrd characters, the chef, went missing. stacy made a missing poster and shared it to her instagram. the original little chef didn't turn up, but to her surprise, her followers from near and far sent her new little patrons including a new chef just like the old one. the gallery has attracted a community of its own on line and more than 200 pieces of art have passed through since its grand opening in december. >> it was like a shot in the arm to the neighborhood. >> reporter: stacy's neighbor creates found art and has contributed multiple times. >> because of the pandemic, because of what everybody's going through, and another creative outlet for people that probably never had a creative outlet. >> that's so sweet -- >> it's artifacts and elements of human expression that people can see.

♪ back now at 8:30. it is time for "talk of the table" or as they say in boston chatter at the counter. >> we recognize that voice, though. >> yeah. that's what our first story is about. what my "talk of the table" is about. the rock and roll hall of fame announced its 2021 nominees this morning. and singer/songwriter carole king is on the list which is a coincidence because she's also celebrating a very important anniversary. ♪ i feel the earth move under my feet i feel the sky tumbling down ♪ >> 50 years ago today, king released her iconic album "tapestry," it sat on my

turntable for months. to mark the milestone, her publicist shared previously unseen and rare behind-the-scene photos of king working on "tapestry." the images come from undeveloped film from her studio sessions that show her writing songs and playing the piano. "tapestry" set incredible sales and chart records in the day and broke barriers for women. it's estimated that all the tracks on the album including "it's too late" and "i feel the earth move" have been covered by more than 700 artists. it shows her with james taylor, who played guitar, and joanni mitchell at a&m recording studios. since it came out, "tapestry's" logged 318 weeks on the billboard 200 album chart. folks, that's six years. it earned four grammy awards, "tapestry" sold an estimated 26 million copies worldwide. and its tracks have been streamed on spotify 338 million times. >> i love that album. >> it's an amazing album. >> one of those that before the next song came you could start

hearing the melody. >> yeah. >> what a great class. you've got -- >> you profiled her for "sunday morning." >> yeah. i liked her so much. >> one of the fun facts about there album which was recorded, as we mentioned, at a&m recording studios, at the same time joni mitchell was recording "blue" in those studios, and the carpenters were recording their third studio album which is cool. and by the way -- >> good class, jay-z -- >> rock and roll hall of fame nominees out include jay-z, mary j. blige, foo fighters, tina turner, she is in there with ike and tuna turner. this is solo. >> you mentioned the turntable. do you have turntables? >> i have three. yes. >> you devoted to the sound of the old -- >> a combination of things. i like the physicality of putting a needle on vinyl and hearing a sound come out of very warm speakers -- >> i'll have to come over because i have albums and no turntables. >> you should do that -- >> come i come over -- >> i need to prescreen your selection. >> still high school?

i love it. it's high school. >> yeah. >> "tapestry's" in there. if you watch the dallas mavericks home game this season you will not hear "the star-spangled banner." team owner mark cuban has decided the anthem will not be played before the home game. the nba says teams are permitted to run their pregame operations as they see fit. cuban has supported those who want to kneel during the national anthem to highlight racial injustice. dallas is believed to be the only nba team that has abandoned the anthem at the home gablmes. cuban made the decision in november and has no further comment. i hope that changes because we'd love to talk about that. >> super interesting. >> sending quite a message. >> i'd like to hear me. >> more, too. my "talk of the table" is about the power of thought and a woman from indiana who put out into the world that she wanted to see some wildlife on the road. here's when she got -- >> oh, my gosh. >> they got loose somehow. >> oh, my gosh. now this is fabulous.

>> they encountered dozens of runaway cows on the highway saturday. they were on their way home from a trip to purdue university. she said to the local paper, "i was looking for the universe to send me cool wildlife sightings, and boom." >> that was her husband in the car? i love it when he says, "they got loose somehow." >> someone's in trouble. >> this one of the ones where you wish you could see their face. "this is fabulous!" i want to know who she looks like. for our next story, adam grant believes we should think again, trust our gut. in his book "think again: the power of knowing what you don't know," grant stresses the importance of reconsidering and challenging our own opinions. he looks at the science behind why rethinking can leave us better positioned for success at work and happiness in life. true. grant's ted talks have been viewed more than 25 million times. he's also professor at the wharton school of the university of pennsylvania.

and adam grant joins us from his home. it's so good to see you. i love this book. i've told my favorite son -- favorite daughter and now favorite son-in-law to get it. they have already ordered it. that's at least three sales for you, mr. grant. this is the thing -- you say we have no problem rethinking in our everyday life, but when it comes to our knowledge and opinions, that's tough. what do you mean rethinking our every day life but it's harder other places. explain. >> yeah. we're happy to renovate our kitchens or refresh our wardrobes. when it comes to the knowledge and the beliefs that we hold dear, we like to stick to our guns. >> why? >> i think a lot of us are afraid of being wrong. we don't want to admit weakness. we like to show strength. and what we don't realize is that saying "i don't know" or "i might have been wrong" actually signals confident humility. i'm secure enough to admit that i still have something to learn. >> it's interesting that it's coming from you. you tell a great story when you were in third grade. talk about -- they used to call you mr. facts. you didn't -- even your friends thought you were obnoxious

because you were correcting the teacher. tell us that story because i thought ah -- >> well, i remember taking a spelling test, and i wrote lightning. and my teacher marked it wrong because i didn't have an "e," l-i-g-h-t-i-n-i-n-g, and i corrected her. didn't know what i was supposed to do. that did not go over well. >> no. most people don't like obnoxious children. this is the thing, you start the book with a great story about firefighters, i never thought about it this way -- that even in the power of rethinking fire-fighting, it could have actually changed lives. i thought this was a very good example of why we sometimes need to rethink. >> it's a tragic example. firefighters are trained to carry their tools because they know that's the way that they can save their own lives. and yet, dozens of firefighters have died running away from fires where if only they had thought to drop their heavy tools, to rethink their training, they might have been able to get to safety. and i don't think that all of us

are necessarily running for our lives, but that ability to rethink quickly, if you're a blockbuster or blackberry, if you're sears or kodak might mean you're still in business today. >> one of my things, on page 30, you say the most annoying things people say instead of rethinking are -- >> well, i hear this all the time. that's not how we do things around here. that's not the way we've always done it. that will never work here, and that's not what my experience has shown. >> and you also say it's not over complicated, don't over think it. what do you say to people who are stuck in their own way of thinking? >> well, i would say you should watch out for thinking too much like a preacher, a prosecutor, or a politician. we do this a lot. when you're in preaching mode, you're trying to spread your gospel. in prosecutor mode, you're trying to win an argument and prove everyone else wrong. and when you're in politician mode, you're trying to follow your tribe and get their approval. and i think what we need to do is be open to thinking more like

scientists where we have a little bit of humility as opposed to pride. curiosity over conviction, and mental flexibility as opposed to foolish consistency. all that means for me is that when i form an opinion, i want to treat it as a hunch or a high path sis, as opposed -- hypothesits, as opposed to a truth. i need to listen to ideas that make me think hard, not just the opinions that make me feel good. means i need to surround myself with people who challenge my thought process, not just the ones who agree with my conclusions. >> the thing i like best, you said agree to disagree should not be the end of a conversation it should be the beginning of a conversation. easier said than done on that. >> yeah. whenever somebody says let's agree to disagree, my first instinct is to recognize now that i need to stop trying to argue to win, and i need to begin asking questions to learn. and i've been surprised by how helpful this is. i've said, you know, i actually don't believe in agreeing to disagree. when i'd love to know is where this conversation went in the

wrong direction and what i should be rethinking as i approach this discussion in the future. and that means i learn something to have a better conversation with that person, or maybe with someone else tomorrow. >> yeah. i thought that was really interesting. i'm going to try that next time. i use that phrase a lot. let's agree to disagree. adam grant, thank you so much. it's really good to see you. i love the book, called "think again." on sale whenever you like to buy your books. with valentine's day four days away, why a dating expert believes the pandemic remarkably has created a dating renaissance. plus, tips on connecting virtually and

[ laughterer ] > yeah, that'ss g good enou. joey fromm "friends" may not hae been able to find love on valentine's day, but biological anthropologist helen fisher tells us despite the pandemic, remarkably we're in the midst of a dating renaissance. a report from fisher and the dating site match found that singles are now making more time to look for love. they're refining what they're looking for in a partner and

rethinking how and where they find love. helen fisher is also chief scientific adviser for match. good morning. thanks for being with us. how can we possibly be having a dating renaissance when it's so hard to meet people right now? >> well, it's even easier -- first of all, you are absolutely correct, covid is being killed by cupid. cupid is winning. and in fact, what we found with match, i do a study called singles in america. we did our last study, science, it's real science, last july in the middle of the pandemic. and as it eads to intimacy. and last but not least, they are caring less about what they look like and what a possible partner would look like and much more about whether this person is

economically -- has a full-time job and is economically stable, financially stable. so i'm calling it intentional dating. and there's no question about it that people are piling into dating site -- actually they're not even dating sites, they're introducing sites. and certainly with match, but all of the others, too. they've got time to do it. and they're earnest about it. the bad boy and the bad girl are over. >> the same time, you say the pandemic has kind of slowed this whole process down in a good way. >> yes. yeah. well, not only -- i hate to say that there's anything good about this pandemic, but the bottom line is what we're really seeing is the emergence of a new stage in the dating process. you know, before the pandemic, you met on the internet, and then you went out and met in person. and now there is the real rise of video chatting, and with that, sex is off the table. money is off the table. you got time to talk to the person. what we found at match -- not at match but in the study with

match, singles in america, we found that 50% of people who went on to start video chatting fell in love. they fell in love with somebody during covid. >> helen, it's tony here. i wonder -- and forgive me, i'm like the frozen caveman who's never online dated, but when you talk to people on zoom to date, even if you like their personality, aren't you missing that crucial component of seeing them in the flesh? maybe getting a whiff of perfume or of cologne or whatever? isn't that essential to falling in love and, you know, what comes next? >> it's one of the parts of falling in love. but actually we're being called the new victorians. an awful lot of young singles and singles around the country actually don't want to get out of that first date and deal with the, you know, the sex, do i kiss him, do i hold her hand, how do i handle this. they don't have to decide whether they're going to go to a fancy bar or a cheap coffey shop. it's all off the table.

and they have a lot of time to decide whether they're going to go out and meet somebody in person. now, with the video chatting, it's a vetting process. and over 50% of singles met somebody on the internet and decided they didn't want to go and meet them in person. >> right. >> as much as 64% did. you know, we were talking -- they call it love at first sight. they don't call it first smell or love at first text. they call it love at first sight. and you can see somebody on the internet. i mean, you can see where they live, you can see the way they smile and move. you know, a great deal about them. and you know, the brain -- this brain -- i put people in brain scanners and studied the brain circuitry of romantic love. it's like a sleeping cat. it can be triggered instantly. just when somebody says something funny or somebody says something sweet or kind, and it can easily be done on the internet, and that's exactly what's happening. >> helen, it's always a thorough pleasure talking to you. we appreciate it. like a sleeping cat. >> i like that. >> yeah. like that a lot. we appreciate it. ahead on "cbs this

arguments and as mentioned "cbs evening news," they will have 16 hours to present their case. we don't expect them to use that ul full time. they do remain confident that they can convince republicans to convict the former president particularly after louisiana republican bill cassidy swung his vet over yesterday in support of the trial. lawyer. >> reporter: >>ole killian on capitol hill. we want to bring in major garrett. she with us "cbs evening news," as well as nancy koersd. cordes. they have divvied up parts of the case "cbs evening news," each trying to layout a meticulous case against the former president. >> right. one of the things they have told sus this is not going to be repetitive. that was a knock on the last impeachment was that democrats made a good case "cbs evening news," but they repeated themselves. they say they are not going to do that this time. they have divvied things up very carefully. what you will hear them argue you is that this president lit the match "cbs evening news," stoked the fire and refossed to

put it out. so they're going to go on a long period of time. >> they will go back months. they will play all the times that this president argued that the election was stolen from him. that it was rigged "cbs evening news," that that the election was stolen from him. this wasn't an isolated offhand remark that he made that you could argue away that he slipped up. this was a concerted set of lies. we'll go through this video we saw yesterday and more, they're going to juxtapo juxtapost it, e going to argue if anything he brought it up. he continued to attack his vice president on twitter, even after the insurgents broke into the capitol. and at the end of the day, as they were picking up the pieces as the
