he said one time, stick with me baby, i you will show you the world and he did. and i misses that. >> reporter: the 70-year-old's vaccinations options are limited. she said the nearest max vaccination site is first come, first serve with people sleeping in their cars overnight. can you do that? >> i could not do it with my husband. >> reporter: and your health? >> and my headlilth yeah. >> reporter: most health department vaccination sites are booked through april. but the federal government is trying to expand access by shipping to pharmacies like walmart. had this is the health and wellness director in walmart in mobile mobile, he said his store is being flooded with calls. there's hospital options but with the area, it's hard to get

to the doctor, and we are in a perfect place for those that cannot make it to a large clinic. >> reporter: she lives an hour away from the walmart and for now, none of the stores around her are getting doses. how does that feel? >> disheartening, it's almost like, where i thought there was hope, and light at the end of the tunnel, now, i'm getting depressed about it. are you ready to give up? >> yes, and no. i have been through the cancer, so i'm a fighter. >> reporter: she said that she is struggling to find the vaccine and get answers. we contacted the state's health department, they tell us that the biggest issue is just getting the vaccine here in alabama, they can't have enough, they don't have enough doses to put on the mass vaccination sites seven days a week. so they are relying on community health centers and small pharmacies to get to people in the rural areas. even those places book up in a matter of minutes once the

appointments are made available. a woman's right's activist in saudi arabia is out of jail, where she was jailed for driving. the activist was convicted of aggitating for change. >> reporter: she has been released from prison, but she is most certainly not free. her family said that she is banned from leaving saudi arabia for five years. she is at home, reads her sister's tweet, she looks happy but gaunt. a far cry from the joyful rebellion's women a's rights campaigner who took to the wheel in saudi arabia when it was still illegal. she was arrested in 2018, weeks before saudi arabia's crowned prince finally gave women permission to drive.

the ultra conservative islamic kingdom was the last country in the world to do so. the family claimed she was tortured in jail, subjected to electric shocks and threatened with rain. it was brutal. it was insane. it was inhuman. >> reporter: it's thought her release is an attempt to curry favor with the new administration in washington. biden acknowledged the release yesterday. >> she was a powerful advocate for women's rights and releasing her was the right thing to do. >> reporter: a saudi court said there was no evidence that she was tortured but the family said is it was supervised by this man, a former close associate of the crowned prince and he is suspected of murdering ass saud

journalist, the release would likely come with stringent conditions. >> she will be still monitored and censored and moving from a small prison to a big prison. >> reporter: another indication that the biden administration is reassessing america's relationship with saudi arabia, is the decision to temporarily freeze planned arm sales to the country. you are watching the cbs overnight news.

pennsylvania was ground zero in former president trump's bid to overturn the election. one person standing in his way was the state's larger than life lieutenant governor john fedderman. the democrat has now joined the race to replace retiring republican senator pat toomey in 2022. and he has raised a million dollars already. fedderman sat down for a chat. >> you described as the anger translator. what do you mean by that? >> look at me. the contrast between myself and the governor is comical. you know, when we are standing next to each other. >> at 6'8", john fedderman, the lieutenant governor of pennsylvania looms tall in person and in politics. >> the senate will now come to order. >> the president can send a thousand lawyers to pennsylvania.

>> reporter: the 51-year-old democrat gained national attention. >> the lieutenant governor is right. >> reporter: for his brash and cutting defense of pennsylvania's vote against false claims of fraud. >> all they have had is lies. they have had three weeks to come up with anything concrete. >> reporter: especially on twitter where he is more out spoken. >> getting on twitter every day is like starting the morning with a dog turd and motor oil smoothie. you have to push back against that, and i do it in a way that mixes humor and mockery with cold hard facts. >> reporter: one cold hard fact that john fedderman is a blunt talking, self described progressive intent on also breaking through with swing voters in the rust belt. his issues are a higher minimum wage. >> if you believe a human being should toil for $7.25 an hour.

vote the other way. >> reporter: and legal marijuana, a winner for either party. >> they are arguing over the small wage issues when they are leaving the bazooka of legal weed on the table for the other side to grab. south dakota, one of the most conservative states in the country, voted for legal weed straight up and down on the ballot. >> reporter: a state with a severe opioid problem, why are you talking about legalizing a drug? >> it's not a drug. it's a plant. it's a gateway to finding a natural alternative to the kind of relief that had brought so many people in to this toxic spiral with opioids in the first place. >> reporter: he was previously a 13 year mayor of a once thriving steal town now with poverty, blight and crime. >> stain glass was placed in here as opposed to teen out. >> reporter: ten years ago, he

reported on the efforts of of the harvard graduate and former ameri-corp volunteer to revive the neighborhood. he wears his past on his sleeves, the zip code on his one arm and dates of murder on the other. >> the worst dates of my life, these were days that we lost people through senseless violence. >> reporter: today, he is not perfect. but there are real signs of progress and hope. but as fedderman showed us on a drive. >> over there to the right, that is the furnace site. it's been closed since 1986. >> reporter: other parts are decimated. it looked like an extinct mechanical dinosaur. >> reporter: it is. but -- >> a majority of voters in the valley in the region are still

democratic and yet they have been voting republican and heavily pro trump. >> yep. >> reporter: why? >> we need somebody to do talking and understand that you know, we all can't work for google. we all can't learn to code when we are 50 years old. >> reporter: nationally the democratic party base has become more racially die versus, educated and wealthy and urban. you think democrats in the last couple on generations have forgotten about working people? >> i don't think we have forgotten about them, but they are not the center the way they should be. >> reporter: speaking in the shadow of a u.s. steal plant. fedderman describes the cost of not putting working people first. >> and if we turn our backs on the remaining industries and not reinvest in these places and say, you are on your own, we will lose an entire generation of people that have no other options other than to turn to

somebody like donald trump and say, you know, wow, he at least gets me or cares and pays lip service. >> reporter: which is one reason why fedderman and his family still live in the town, in a renovated 1920s chevy dealership. >> clothes, shoes, books. formula and diapers, it's a big item the for our family. >> reporter: his wife runs a charity known simply as the free store. >> you can look for books together. what kind of books do you like? >> reporter: the second lady of pennsylvania was born in brazil and came to the united states poor and undocumented. >> scared of every knock at the door that i was not expecting somebody. i was worried of being deported. >> my life has been enriched by my wife and her family and her immigration story. >> reporter: gq magazine

described you as an american taste guy. >> which is ironic, i have no taste, i am what i am. the fact that somebody looks as unfortunate as i on do sometimes would be an american taste god by the bible of american taste, you know,

when you humble yourself under the mighty hand of god, in due time he will exalt you. hi, i'm joel osteen. i'm excited about being with you every week. i hope you'll tune in. you'll be inspired, you'll be encouraged. i'm looking forward to seeing you right here. you are fully loaded and completely equipped for the race that's been designed for you.

. there are a lot of dedicated teachers in this nation, you would be hard pressed to find one more devoted to her students than a kinder kbmpt -- >> what am i doing with my kindergartners? >> reporter: even in a year she'd rather forget. she is in her online classroom every day, even in chemotherapy. you could go on leave and you said no. >> no.

so, i was first diagnosed five years ago, and i did take a leave then. because i was really sick. i missed teaching so much. >> reporter: so they are watching you as you go through treatment? >> yes, what better way to spend four or five hours than with 5-year-olds. timepasses quickly. >> reporter: the mother of two wants to show all of her kids that even with cancer, people can thrive. >> it'ss really easy to go down the why me? if i did not have 5-year-olds to teach every day, i would think a good that a lot. gloo it sounds like they give you strength. >> they give me strength. >> reporter: and she is giving them a lesson in living life to the fullest. and that's a lesson for all of us. you are watching the cbs overnight news.
