good morning to you our viewest in the west. welcome to "cbs this morning." it's monday, february 15th, 2021. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. bitter cold. sharp winds and dangerous snow spread across much of the country, and two-thirds of americans will get hit before it's done. the latest on where this massive storm is heading. the senate votes to acquit former president trump of incitement of insurrection leaves republicans divided. why most backed mr. trump and how he still faces serious legal problems. passions spill over about wearing a mask regardless of government mandates. one family is even mocked about it at their father's funeral.

we'll have the latest on the coronavirus including an exclusive look at the first u.s. airline to offer access to covid testing in the u.s. and the duke and duchess of sussex are having another baby. we have details of the valentine's day announcement and how the birth could make royal history. >> oh, happy, happy day. first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> the severity of the cold weather that is about to be experienced here in the coming days is unprecedented. >> reporter: the midwest is already in a deep freeze with arctic air expected to descend all the way to the gulf coast. >> reporter: some of the coldest air on earth, the polar vortex, forcing that cold air into a very moist and stormy environment. >> reporter: the cdc director says it is too early to be getting rid of mask mandates. >> yet, we see some communities relaxing some of their mitigation strategies. we are nowhere out of the woods. trump plus is the way back in 2022.

>> reaction pouring in from both sides after former president trump was acquitted in his second impeachment trial. >> there's no reasoning with people who basically are, you know, acting like members of a religious cult. >> reporter: prince harry and meghan markle with a valentine's day announcement saying they are expecting their second child. all that -- >> 15, the 20 -- >> wow! >> johnny football is back with a brand new fan controlled football league. and all that matters -- >> actress regina king made her debut as host of "saturday night live." >> if you're black, you probably know me from being in like some of your favorite movies. and if you're white you probably know me from watching or this monologue right now. on "cbs this morning." >> ah! >> around they go, and a hard crash. >> a fiery final lap crash in the daytona 500. all the drivers were able to walk away from this. right after the crash, driver michael mcdowell claimed his

first daytona 500 victory. >> your first career win. you're a daytona 500 champion! >> such a great way to get a first victory. daytona 500! are you kidding me! [ cheers ] >> oh, man. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. >> they had a big rain delay in daytona, so it was well after midnight. he's in fourth position at the time when they have the accident. then he ends up number one. >> you're a racing fan -- >> i'm fascinated because it could change on a dime just like that. >> yeah. >> i like how it changed -- he realized it was real life and not a dream. >> he won the daytona 500. >> like that enthusiasm. happy presidents' day. >> happy presidents' day after valentine's day. we have a lot going on today. we welcome you to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with this -- a massive winter storm is cutting a treacherous, never a good thing, and freezing path across much of the country this morning. this is texas. look at these pictures. now in a state of emergency after some areas saw their first

snowfall in years, and the coldest temperatures in decades. that system is moving into the midwest and the northeast, covering roads in snow and causing major problems for drivers. it's affecting more than two-thirds of the people in this country. the governor has activated the national guard to keep people safe. mireya villarreal, good morning to you. what a mess. >> reporter: good morning, what a mess indeed. here in oklahoma city it snowed for more than 12 hours yesterday, the freezing temperatures combined with the windchill makes it feel like it is between 20 and 30 degrees below zero. let me repeat that, 20 to 30 degrees below zero. behind me you can see crews, they are starting to push all of this snow into this big pile over here. they're trying to clear the streets right now and make way for another storm, that's supposed to hit later. from this fiery wreck in oklahoma to whiteout conditions in arkansas and down to texas,

an unparalleled winter storm targeting southern states unused to a powerful mix of snow, ice, and believe freezing temperatures. cars and trucks providing no match for roads and interstates blanketed with sheets of ice, sending vehicles careening out of control. in texas for the first time, all 254 counties in the state are under winter storm warnings. the lone star state hasn't seen temperatures like this in over 30 years. >> our roads no matter how much we salt them are not designed for it. >> reporter: oklahoma also making history with temperatures below 20 degrees for five days straight. the third time ever in the state's history. for suzanne markingo, driving on these roads for work can be a life or death decision. >> every time you start it up, you take your life in your own hands and the public's life in your hands, too. >> reporter: the same storm left at least 200,000 without power

over the weekend in the pacific northwest. the two-day snowfall was the most seen in seattle in almost 40 years, leaving some residents digging themselves out of more than a foot of snow. the temperature gauge says it is minus six, but it feels like it is minus 25 right now, and it is unlikely that those conditions will get any better. right now they are predicting the temperatures will go below freezing once again and hit record temperatures we haven't seen here in over 100 years. for more, we're joined by cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli. >> we have a major ice storm in the deep south, treacherous travel and widespread extensive power outages likely. you can see the radar right now, it is snow, it is ice all the way down into the gulf of mexico. let me explain what's happening right now. arctic air is like a bully, and

it is muscling its way down into the gulf. at the same time the warm air is trying to move north so it's forced up and over this cold dome. in the clouds it's warm. it's rain. it hits the ground, it freezes solid. a half an inch to an inch of ice in parts of the tennessee valley today, hour by hour. to the northwest it's snow, a lot in indianapolis, cleveland, buffalo, blizzard conditions at times. anywhere from a half an inch to inch of ice from that strip in pink. north and west of there, six to 12 inches of snowfall and on the backside of this system, it is cold, temperatures as much as 50 degrees below normal. it should be 55 today in oklahoma city. instead it will be about five degrees. and anthony, believe it or not, we do this again on wednesday and thursday. with a system that looks almost exactly the same. >> 50 degrees below normal. crazy, jeff, thank you. the debate over masks, and the coronavirus is entering a new phase, multiple states have

recently dropped their mask mandates. against the advice of the cdc, our lead national correspondent is in new orleans, and he recently visited his hometown of lafayette, louisiana. that's david begnaud. and david, this is a policy issue, but it's also playing out actually between neighbors, isn't it? >> reporter: louisiana has a mask mandate. take a look at what we saw in downtown lafayette over the weekend. young people maskless, crowding in bars, some even lining up to get in the back door. look, we are a year into the pandemic, and the city council in lafayette just met in emergency session last week to talk about a mask mandate. and it failed. welcome to the heart of cajun country. when it comes to wearing a mask, public safety has run into

politics in this reliably republican part of the country. >> we're not exhibiting the behavior that the medical experts are begging us to do. this particular community has prided itself on being so loving, but in these dire times, i'm not seeing it at all. it really breaks my heart, david. >> reporter: that is peter guarisco. his 73-year-old father, david, died last month due to covid-19 complications. gayle george is david's widow. >> i think perhaps he got it from me because i was diagnosed three days before he was. >> reporter: david's death made local news after what happened to the family at the funeral home. the headline read "family says they were mocked, police called after requesting mask usage at funeral home." >> you think i'm going to let my family risk their lives because you're a little lax on your policy? >> there were people up and down the hallway without masks on. and we just simply said, listen, just please wear a mask. and no one would. >> reporter: he says the funeral home did have signs telling people that masks were required,

but they didn't enforce it. >> i found out that there was no local enforcement of the state mask mandate. >> reporter: what happened at the funeral home led to community outrage and a public memorial honoring guarisco and the more than 200 people who died due to covid in lafayette. last week it also led to an emergency meeting of the city council to consider a local mask mandate. >> masks have become political here. >> reporter: local dr. britni hebert, a yale-educated physician who spent more than three weeks volunteering on the front lines in new york city, told her city council -- >> a local mask ordinance will save lives. if you are strong enough to vote for it, you will save lives. >> reporter: but even before the vote, the city's mayor indicated he would not enforce a statewide mandate. the council then voted, and the ordinance failed. right down party lines, two democrats voted yes, three republicans all said the mask mandate was pointless, in part because it wouldn't be enforced. and one of them even raised doubts about the effectiveness

of masks. in an email exchange with none other than the guarisco family who called the rejection of the mandate a complete farce. >> it's all pathetic and laughable. i don't feel safe. >> reporter: you don't feel safe in your own town. >> yeah. yeah. >> reporter: here in the state of louisiana there have been 3,700 mask complaints. people saying folks are not wearing masks. do you know how many actions the state fire marshal's office has taken because of that? zero. let me say that again -- zero enforcement taken. we were told they'd rather educate than punish. let's make it clear, masks work. every infectious disease doctor will tell you that, masks work, period. >> i don't know how many times you have to say that, david, but apparently you need to keep saying it. we all need to keep saying it. people need to hear it. thank you very much. the republican party is at a crossroads after saturday's vote to acquit former president trump of inciting an insurrection.

the final vote was 57-43, including -- this is key -- seven republican senators. now that was ten votes short of the 67 needed for a conviction. in his response, the former president seemed to take his acquittal as an endorsement. as ed o'keefe reports from the white house, not all republicans are on his side. >> reporter: top republicans can agree on what's next for the gop -- >> we need to unite the party. trump-plus is the way back in 2022. >> we've got to move on from the cult of donald trump and return to the basic principles that the party's always stood for. >> reporter: the former president's influence on the party was evident saturday as the senate voted to acquit him. >> donald john trump, former president of the united states, is not guilty as charged in the article of impeachment -- >> reporter: democrats said it wasn't the strength of the case that left impeachment managers short of the 67 votes needed to convict. >> we didn't need more witnesses, we needed more senators with spines. >> reporter: compared to the first impeachment trial, the # 57-43 vote was a big shift and

the most bipartisan vote to convict in impeachment trial history. but still only seven republicans joined all democrats. among them, only one, alaska's lisa murkowski, is running for re-election next year. and on saturday, the louisiana republican party's executive committee censured senator bill cassidy in a unanimous vote. senate gop leader mitch mcconnell said he voted to acquit because of his belief that it was unconstitutional to impeach any former president. he still blames trump for sparking the violence at the capitol last month. >> there's no question, none, that president trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. >> reporter: with governors and congressional elections more than a year away, some party leaders like steven bolton, head of the chicago gop, believe the rebuilding will begin well beyond washington. >> if the republican party is

going to start to turn more local, go back to a core republican message which is peace in our streets, prosperity in our homes, and liberty in our lives. >> reporter: but there are still things to learn from the former president. >> the populist pulse, if you will, that he rode into the white house didn't start with him. it's's still there. it was there before he ran for president, and it's still there now, and it will continue to be there. i think the important thing is to concentrate on what president trump stood for as far as american policies and try to get away from just the man. >> reporter: as we pointed out, senator mcconnell voted to acquit based on constitutional grounds. but over the weekend in his remarks after the vote, he made clear he thinks the former president could face criminal charges for his involvement in inciting the insurrection, noting that even former presidents are not immune from prosecution. tony? >> he still voted no on the technicality. ed, thank you very much. on the topic of legal exposure for the president, we turn to cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman.

counselor, good morning to you a lot to talk about here. let's start with mitch mcconnell's comments. he says the president is morally and practically responsible for the events of january 6th. how might he be criminally responsible, as well? >> well, mitch mcconnell certainly invited the new attorney general, once he is confirmed, that is merrick confirmed, that is merrick garland, to go forth, hold an investigation, and decide whether or not he would prosecute. by the way, for those of us who watched every minute of the impeachment proceedings, even donald trump's own lawyer said what we shouldn't be hear in impeachment there always is a remedy in the criminal courts. but what we have to see here, tony, is this is not simply a legal calculus. it is a political calculus. does merrick garland, as the newly installed attorney general once he is, want to go after a former president? you have to remember before the election joe biden was not necessarily in favor of going

after a former political opponent because it hurts democracy. now, the calculus may have changed politically. but then you get to the legal issues, and you have a big first amendment defense in a criminal court. >> why would there be a first amendment defense given that the president not only on the day of january 6th but leading up to it spread this large lie that there was fraud in the election? i mean, people defend this country, the military defends this country for that very issue -- defending democracy, defending freedom. if the president lifted that up, why wouldn't that be a direct line to incitement? >> i think what you have is the exact same argument only in a different courtroom which would be the criminal court in washington, d.c. and what would happen here is very different than what happened in impeachment. you do have a first amendment defense. whether or not it is successful is another matter.

so you would wind up with motions to dismiss. if, in fact, there was a prosecution and a conviction, you would wind up with a series of appeals. it would ultimately have to be decided before the u.s. supreme court. do we look at as the impeachment manager said the big lie? six months of activity about election fraud culminating in a speech leading to the insurrection, acts of domestic terrorism, or do we have to look at speech alone? the legal scholars say this is a high bar and a tough case. it seems like it should be an easy case, but the law is not quite so simple. >> very interesting. let's talk about the state of georgia before you go. there's a district attorney there who is investigating a case of potential election interference against donald trump. what's the likelihood there? how did that work? >> i think this is the case to watch. there is a grand jury being empaneled for the month of march. you have a new district attorney in fulton county which

encompasses atlanta which would be a biden-voting block, and those would be the jurors. you're looking at election fraud, conspiracy to commit election interference, the interference itself. these could be misdemeanors or felonies. you have a da who is unafraid. she has gone as far as going after educators with a rico charge. that's called racketeering. would she be afraid of doing that here? i don't know. we're looking at the president's actions and words, lindsey graham, as well as rudolph giuliani. >> we haven't even gotten to the state of new york. thank you very much. we appreciate it. ahead, exciting news for prince harry and meghan markle. their family is about to get bigger. we'll have reaction to their surprise baby announ

u.s. intelligence agencies are still trying to stop the most sophisticated cybersecurity breach in american history. nearly a year after it began. experts believe russia was behind the hack of a company called solar winds, sending malware to 18,000 private and government organizations, including the u.s. departments of justice, treasury, state, and homeland security. russia has denied any involvement in the hack.k. former hacacker jon millller, n cybersecururity expertrt, told minutetes" the scope of t the ak

was impressive. >> i would never do something like this. it creates too much damage. >> reporter: miller says with the solar winds attack, russia has demonstrated that none of the software we take for granted is truly safe, including the apps on our telephones, laptops, and tablets. these days he says any device can be sabotaged. >> when you buy something from a tech company, a new phone or laptop, you trust that that is secure when they give it to you. and what they've shown us in this attack is that is not the case. they have the ability to compromise those supply chains and manipulate whatever they want, whether it's financial data, source code, the functionality of these products. they can take control. >> reporter: so for instance, they could destroy all the computers on a network? >> oh, easily. the malware that they deploy off of solar winds, it didn't have

the functionality in it to do that, but to do that is trivial. >> chris krebs was director of the department of homeland security's cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, also called cisa. he is now a partner at krebs stainless group which was hired by solar winds to help investigate the hack. he joins us now. good morning, chris. thank you for being with us. this attack has been going on for nears a year, as we mentioned. it's still going on. what is your biggest concern about what russia is doing? >> well, good morning, anthony. thanks for having me on. to jon miller's point, this was an attack on the very trust that enables the current digital ecosystem. when you think about how businesses, how government agencies are building their networks, they're shifting to the cloud, to cloud computing, to services that are managed by third parties. and those relationships are

rooted in trust. and the russian intelligence service, the svr, compromised that trust. to me, that's what's so reckless and damaging about this specific campaign was the brazen attack on trust, and we have to rebuild and regain that trust throughout our networks in the u.s. and elsewhere. >> if -- i mean, the words -- jon miller's words that were haunting -- and i'm wondering about the implications of this for ordinary folks because he's suggesting that anybody at home could be vulnerable here. how concerned should folks at home be about their own personal data in all this? >> so i think this specific campaign by the russian intelligence service was an exquisite operation really focused on gathering intelligence from the government and from key businesses. i think your viewers have a different set of threats they

need to be concerned about, and that is from cyber criminals that would seek to steal their financial information, get into their bank accounts and things like that. but this specific campaign is much more focused on gathering intelligence from the federal government. >> it was a private company that discovered this hack. when it got to government agencies, why didn't cisa see it? >> yeah, so it was detected by one of the premier cybersecurity companies in the world, that they had also been compromised. in terms of cisa's capabilities, the program last night discussed einstein. and einstein is really a fundamental security program for the federal government that is designed to detect known threats. this was not a known threat. this was a novel technique, a novel path never seen before.

and so einstein was not configured for that. there are a separate set of technologies that are in the process of deployment right now by the federal government that will put us in a position to detect these sorts of attacks going forward. and what i understand the administration is doing, the white house national security council led by the new deputy national security adviser ann n newberlgy, they are contemplating an order to accelerate the security programs, the investment -- congress does need to ramp up investment in security efforts. but will really look to, as i mentioned earlier, regain trust, understand those third -- the private sector companies that software -- provides software and services and make sure that we understand the risk that's involved with those programs and really lock down agency networks. >> yeah. and quickly, a former nsa deputy director told "60 minutes" the only way to end this attack is to get rid of all the affected

networks and hardware s. that what it's going to take, and how quickly can they do that? >> so, chris i thnglis is a fri, i know him well. i not the more cost-effective approach is to assume that even prior to this campaign that the russians were already there. and the russians will be there in the future. so what you need to do is you hunt relentlessly across those agency networks. that's what cisa's been empowered to do by congress. now congress needs to follow up with the funding. >> all right. chris krebs, thank you so much for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. a reminder, you can always get the morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast. hear today's top stories in less than 20 minutes. coming up, a valentine's day surprise for meghan markle and prince harry about a new baby. this is great news. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ are yoyou ready to j join the duduers? those whwho du moree wiwith less asasthma.

delighted and wish them well. as you said, a valentine's day announcement. and team sussex says it's a happy coincidence it came on the very same day 37 years ago that princess diana announced her pregnancy with prince harry. now the news comes after the duchess suffered a miscarriage last summer. judging from that baby bump, she was almost certainly pregnant when she shared her deeply personal story in "the new york times" last november. so eighth in line to the throne behind big brother archie and prince harry. he said in a 2019 interview he would only have two children for the sake of the planet. now let's assume the baby will be born in the united states. it's a question of when the queen will meet her great grandchild. she hasn't seen archie since the couple left the uk around 18 months ago. gayle? >> i love happy coincidences. i thought it was so interesting to hear that that was the same day that diana released it on valentine's day, the news that harry was coming. that's great news. so listen, meghan is expected to give birth here in this country.

will that mean that the baby will be an american citizen? >> reporter: yes. but not necessarily because the baby will be born in the united states. if the child is born to a british father and an american mother, it's the same situation for me and my children, american father and british mother, they have dual -- they are dual nationals for as long as they want to, for the rest of their lives unless they choose otherwise. one interesting thing to note is that the child, if it's born in the united states, he or she may grow up to one day be the president. gayle? >> wouldn't that be -- is that the talk of the uk, charlie? i'm curious. >> reporter: you know, it's huge news, gayle. they've had a difficult time here with the media recently, as you're well aware. but on every front page it's just been accepted with this great sense of celebration. so yes, it's a huge deal here.

everybody's celebrating that announcement, that they're delighted. the palace would say that anyway. people have contacts in the palace and say they are delighted. i mean, you know, what isn't great news about a baby on the way? >> i know. i'd like to think people are london. >> interesting. next, vlad duthiers has the with new rewards from chase freedom unlimited, i i now earn e even more c cash? oh i g got to tellll everyon. hey, rita!a!

southeast texas, including houston, saw its first ever windchill warning. president biden has declared a state of emergency for texas. the cdc is defending the biden administration's new guidelines for reopening schools during the pandemic. dr. rochelle walensky told "face the nation" the vast majority of covid transmission takes place in community not inside school buildings. the white house has suggested only schools in so-called blue and yellow zones should be in fully in person mode. new data shared with cbs news shows that just about 1% of students currently live in those zones. more than 91% live in red zones. those are communities with significant transmission or hybrid or remote learning is recommended. we are joined now by michael osterholm, he's an epidemiologist and director of the center for infectious disease and policy, at the university of minnesota, and he was a member of president biden transition covid advisory board

and joins us to discuss. let's start with the 91% in the red zones. nobody wants that red color. do you think the cdc guidelines are enough? >> i think they are enough, particularly if you're looking at children from k to 8th grade. we see very little transmission between students or between students and teachers. when you get into the high school age that's a bit of a different issue, but there really is a real red flag coming down the road, i think, and that is these new variants that we're talking about, this particular one from the united kingdom i think is going to cause such a surge in cases over the course of the next 14 weeks and i think a lot of schools will be challenged to open at all. >> if they don't have the resources, should they still stay open? if they don't have the resources to meet the guidelines how should that be handled? >> at this point i think most schools can handle the guidelines relative to the younger kids, but the problem is that again, as i pointed out, as case numbers rise in our communities which is what the cdc has flagged, will be the

problem. at this point, many of the areas can open up. i don't think they'll be open very long because of what's coming down the pike with cases. >> i want to talk about the variant in a second, but, according to the cdc guidelines, vaccinating teachers is not a prerequisite to reopening. do you think it should be? >> well, first of all, right now, anthony, we're in a race with this variant in terms of vaccination. if we look at the numbers right now, there will be over 30 million americans over the age of 65 who will not have vaccine by the end of march when we are going to be in very dark days. now we have to start making choices. do younger people who are otherwise not at risk beyond what it is in the community for getting infected, they're not at increased risk for serious disease get in front of the line of those who are -- if they get infected are likely to be seriously ill and die? so right now, i think all the governors and mayors and even our federal agencies are going to have to take a step back and

say we don't have enough vaccine to say to everybody, come on, get in line. who are we going to start prioritizing? if i had to put my money on saving the most lives and keeping our hospitals open, operating as best they can, i would put all my vaccine in 65 years and older. i know teachers may not want to hear that, but i think that's the right message. >> i understand that. you're talking about 14 weeks before this reaches a peak, is that what you're saying? this leads us into the beginning of the summer? >> the next 14 weeks i think will be the worst of the pandemic. people don't want to hear that, but if we look at what these variants are doing, particularly this one from the united kingdom, and see what it did in europe and the middle east, now beginning to start that here in the united states, we are going to see that unfold. overall, with schools, they have to fit into that. i think what we're going to see is a big efforts to open the schools. we will get some open beyond what we have now, but it's going to likely be a real challenge for them in the next six to

eight weeks as the surge numbers begin to increase and this will last for at least likely up to 14 weeks. >> there are recent cases, michael, of people testing positive for covid even after they've been vaccinated. how does that happen? >> well, first of all, these vaccines are really, really good, gayle. they're very good. but they're not 100% necessarily. and so even if a vaccine is 98% effective, it means that 2% of the people could still get infected after being vaccinated. so this should -- isn't a surprise and it still reinforces how good these vaccines are because these cases that we're talking about of infection after two doses of vaccine or even for that matter one dose, actually are very, very rare. >> so are there different guidelines if you've had one vaccine and different guidelines if you've had two vaccines? people are still arguing about whether we should be wearing masks? can you tell the difference between the one and two and the mask, please? >> yeah. well first of all, one dose vaccines are something we have to look at very seriously or as

i just pointed out a lot of americans are not going to be protected at all as we go into this next big surge with the variant. two doses are ideal. i wish everyone in this country had two doses of vaccine but that's not going to happen until mid to late summer, that vaccine availability. in the meantime masks are the best thing we have in terms of reducing transmission of course in addition to that of distancing yourself and don't put yourself in harm's way. you yourselves have to go to work every day and don't have that choice of protecting yourself. that's where a mask can play a key role. >> thank you so much for being with us. we appreciciate it. > ahead goldd mededal g gymn simone bililes tells "60 mininu she was a at her peak beforore 2020 olympics were postponed. how she's

the pandemic has changed almost every facet of life including air travel. one airline is giving cbs news an exclusive preview of what could be the future of flying. united is the first u.s. airline to offer passesengers accesss tn airport coronavirus testing through its app and website. transportation correspondent errol barnett joins us from newark liberty international airport. errol, good morning. >> good morning, anthony welcome to what travel experts suggest very well could be the new normal. this testing location opening just minutes ago. united airlines is the first to offer a place not just to book your ticket, but also schedule a covid test and upload the results all in one app. the hope is to help you be travel ready in a world where there's anything but uniformity.

almost a year into the pandemic, there's still widespread confusion over how to follow a patchwork of covid guidelines and protocols around the u.s. and the world. >> i was thinking the time as i was coming here, waiting for my covid test to come in, it adds another layer to travevel thaha normrmal circumsmstances youou haveve to w worry about. >> r reporter: u united airlrli aimsms to fix t that with itsts nenew digitall travel r ready c whwhere you cacan do everythingm check covid requirements to schedule a test te terminal. instead of jumping around from page to page on government websites, state, local websites, relevant information is attached directly to your ticket based on where you're going. >> that's exactly right. based on the ticket that y you purchasese, tailored t to you, that you will know everything that you need, particularly as all of the covid kind of landscape is changing. >> reporter: it works like this. now once your ticket is booked you can locate it inside the united app or on its be website

and scroll down to the travel ready center. here you'll see testing requirements based on your destination. now you can schedule that test through this service and one of the new locations is here inside united's terminal c. >> i am here for a covid test. >> okay. do you have an appointment? >> yes. >> you can follow me, sir. >> on xpress check demonstrated to cbs news before its pop-up site opens at new lark liberty international airport. their group is uniquely positioned to offer covid testing inside the terminal. >> our spa business closed down at the end of march so we have three zones, we have check-in, we have testing rooms, and then we have a full service lab. >> reporter: once tested, performs upload results to their booking p profile. >> the airlines are investing in providing testing because they know it's good business. >> reporter: travel analyst henry harteveldt says this move

stems from necessity. >> some countries or destinations want you to have a pcr test, others will take an antigen test. it's confusing. >> reporter: dr. schaffner notes this process is more straightforward and suggests it very well could be the future of flying. he also says that while my rapid test was negative, it still does not guarantee 100% safety. >> it's not perfect, but it is another layer that could be introduced to help reduce the risk. >> like 9/11 changed airport security forever, we're still taking our shoes off, covid is going to change safety protocol in airports for a long time as well. >> reporter: now united says since this app launched just a few weeks ago, it's seen hundreds of thousands of customers upload their covid results directly to the app and we should also note, they do also provide the pcr or antigen

test in addition to the rapid test you saw me receive and right now the places to get this done here in newark, at san francisco, and l.a.x. airports, gayle, with the plan to expand this nationwide. >> go you, errol, taking the test on camera, because i'm a big baby when my turn comes, anything to do with the layers to make it safer for us, is always a good thing. thank you very much. ahead, janet jackson's hit 1986 album "control," remember that, is rising to the top of the charts again. how a very old controversy involving justin timberlake is giving it a boost for janet jackson. you're watching "cbs this morning."

you're so special to me. and i want to thank all of you for making "control" number one once again after 35 years. >> the album's recent success comes amid justin timberlake's public apology to her and britney spears. in 2004 at the end of a super bowl performance with janet jackson, timberlake tore away part of her costume briefly exposing her on air. while they both said it was an accident at the time, jackson's career notably bore the brunt of the controversy. hoe the end of their relationship negatively affected spears' public image. he apologize friday an instagram post for what he called, quote, missteps. he said he took contributing to a system that condones misogyny and racism. he also said "i am deeply sorry for the times in my life when my actions contributed to the problem where i spoke out of turn or did not speak up for

what was right." he did not reference a specific event. jackson did not acknowledge timberlake's apology in the video when she thanked her fans. representatives for jackson and timberlake could not be reached for comment. there's been a lot reported about what happened to jackson's career after the wardrobe malfunction. some has been about people who used to work here at cbs. it's important that people like timberlake and others are speaking out, acknowledging how their words at the time may have played a part. >> i'm very glad that he's speaking out. i'm glad that he apologized. i'm happy that the album is once again taking on -- i had it back in the day. i am going to go get it again because of this. >> it is interesting. >> it was unfair what happened to her career. >> absolutely. but it is being pointed out here that although he is apologizing, he's not being specific about what he -- instagram has surfaced the comments in the three most popular comment on his post are all about you got to be more specific. what are you talking about? >> it's interesting the reappraisal going on about the incident with janet jackson, about the incidents with britney spears.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring you some of the stories we like to call d. biles sold sharyn alfonsi she was crushed. >> i just sat there and was like i don't know how i'm going to do this. like, another year out. i don't think it's possible for me at this point mentally.

>> reporter: not physically but mentally. >> yeah. pushing therough the trainings thinking in three months i'll be done. how do you push back for another year? >> reporter: her 50,000 square-foot in texas shut down. biles became depressed, slept constantly, and wanted to quit. >> we ended up taking seven weeks off. >> reporter: had you ever had seven weeks off since you were a little girl? >> no. never in my life. >> reporter: how did you change your mind? >> it took a little bit of time. but then i talked to my coaches and cecile was like, you know, i've trained so hard for this, why would you give it up? i'm like, yeah, you're right. i didn't come this far to only come this far. >> wow. >> so charming. so charming. and we were talking about the mental side of things. there's also a physical side. she's 23 years old. she's apparently old for a gymnast. and she said she's got to stretch before everyone stretches to be ready for the stretching. >> we remember as a little girl

-- when i watched the piece, it was striking that she's a young woman now. still got it. >> i'm glad she didn't give up. boy, do i understand that moment when you think i'm three months away from this and this is the big one, and then you -- you don't know how long you're going to have to wait. >> in a clip that did not air she talked about how this moment has given her pause and allowed her to reflect on what she's accomplished and found happiness in a new way within herself. >> that's important. so often you're on this treadmill and keep going and you don't realize what you've achieved. >> if you didn't see the interview, you should -- it's really, really good. she's very, very con died. we've got -- candid. we've got a big announcement that you'll see first on spomorg is mornin-- on "cbs this mornin" michael jordan making a $10 million donation to novant health to open new clinics in his hometown of wilmington, that's north carolina. this comes after he already donated $7 million in 2017 to open two clinics in charlotte.

the michael jordan family clinics provide primary medical care and mental health services to underinsured or uninsured communities. dr. michael hoban has worked closely with michael jordan on his efforts. he told us how the clinics impact the community. >> you havave a placece that's thinking more about just here's a prescription, go take this medication, but really pulling in the pieces that may be barriers for them to achieve their best health and live their best quality of life. >> michael jordan does so many things behind the scenes to help. this is one of the rare occasions where they're letting us know publicly what he's done. so bravo to him. >> yeah. big bravo. this is such an important thing for those communities. >> yes. it will help a lot of people. >> big gift and targeted in a great way. i want to pay tribute to a man the music world is remembering this morning. rupert neeve died of heart failure last week. you may not know his name, but he played a key role until some of the most famous recordings in modern music.

he designed the recording equipment that captured the sound of countless bands including the who, santana, fleetwood mac, the grateful dead, tom petty, and nirvana. his designs are iconic in the music industry. one big fan, the foo fighters' david grgrohl, 8,02028 consolel featurured in the 2 2013 d docuy ababout the souound citity r re ststudio in los angegeles. grohl once said k knee boardsdse coconsidering g the cadilillacs recording consoles. in 1997, neeve won a lifetime achievement grammy. ru he was 94 years old. grohl said what comes out at the end of those boards is a bigger and better version of you, that in fact nirvana, when he was the drummer for-vir nana, they went to sound city because they had the neeve soundboard. when sound city closed down, grohl bought the neeve soundboard. >> i hadn't heard of it -- me

neither, tony. that's what's the beauty of telling us about -- >> literally, the music industry people would go to studios because they had his designs there. really -- a gia iled, and so didh

for a better deal for all. and heather mcghee joins us now. heather, good morning to you. this book is a tremendous accomplishment. there's one line in particular that i love. you say that "wealth is where history shows up in your wallet." but the costs of this racism for all of us go beyond just the money in our wallets. i was hoping you could give some additional examples. i love in particular the one of the swimming pool. >> yeah. you know, i wrote this book to figure out why it is that we sort of can't seem to have nice things in this country. and one of those nice things is

the public swimming pools. we used to have nearly 2,000 in america. i traveled to one of the many towns in the country that drained their public swimming pool because it was segregated. and when the civil rights movement allowed black americans to say, hey, we pay for that pool, too, let us swim, too, instead of integrating it they drained it. of course, that meant that communities, all communities lost out. and in many ways, it feels like america has done that time and time again. that we've had this ambivalence about sharing our nation across lines of race. and so it's cost us all economically. >> how do you think american life would look and feel differently if our politics were not so divided by race? if people were all voting as a different kind of economic block? >> that's such a good question. you know, i think about issues like the debt for diploma system that we currently have, right. a trillion and a half dollars in

student loan debt. to see what it would be like if we voted differently. if we were in more solidarity with one another. you just have to look back to the period of time when government used to pay basically full freight for people to go to college. of course, that when was the majority of the college-going population overwhelmingly were white. we've shifted to the student debt system as the country has had more students of color going to college. that's just one example of where racism has a cost for everyone. >> i know -- heather, you really did your homework in terms of how you travelled the country. it seems like you were trying to connect the dots. one thing that stood out to me was white high school dropouts have a higher average of income, household wealth, than black people who have graduated from college. i thought, how in the world could that possibly be true? and you talked to everyday people, you said, and experts to connect the dots on racism. >> that's right. i mean, what we don't know so often in this country is how much the formula that built the

great american middle class is one that we've walked away from civil the civil rights movement. but it was full of what we now sort of deride as free stuff. free grants to college, subsidized housing, and most of that was exclusive, was whites only. was segregated. and it was when we had to sort of integrate the pool, not just the public swimming pool, but the pool of resources, that we drained them. and now you've got most american families struggling to make ends meet. before the pandemic, 40% of workers weren't making enough to make ends meet. >> not everybody that does a book gets to talk to their mom. but your mom is -- is dr. christopher. an expert in public health and social policy. and one of the questions that you asked in the book is who are we as an american and who are we to each other. i love this question because i'm very curious about what the answer is to the question. >> you know, my mom is the creator of a framework for a

process that i think could bring this country together. it's called truth racial healing and transformation. it's happening all over the country. i visited with folks in dallas who were doing it. it takes stakeholders together, business leaders, people in public libraries, community leaders, and says what is the vision we want for this country? ours is the world's grandest experiment in a multiracial democracy. there's someone in this country with a tie to ever single community on the globe. and when we link arms together across race, when we lean in to diversity as our superpower, i truly believe and writing this book has made me more convince thursday is nothing our -- convinced there is nothing our country can't do. >> diversity is a superpower. >> for that reason it is a book for all americans. heather mcghee, thank you so much for talking about it. the book is called "the sum of us: what racism costs everyone and how we can prosper together," and it goes on sale tomorrow. ahead, as the pandemic

devastates the restaurant industry, how one community helped save a beloved diner from

covid's still a threat. and on reopening schools, we know what happens when we don't put safety first. ignore proper ventilation or rates of community spread, and the virus worsens. fail to provide masks or class sizes that allow for social distancing, and classrooms close back down. a successful reopening requires real safety and accountability measures. including prioritizing vaccines for educators. parents and educators agree: reopen schools. putting safety first. the pandemic has devastated the restaurant industry in the u.s. nearly 100,000 restaurants were forced to close either permanently or for the long term in the first six months of the pandemic. that's according to the national

restaurant association. nearly six million restaurant jobs were lost in just march and april. nikki battiste shows how one family-run restaurant in new york city was rescued from the brink by kindness and community support. >> reporter: here in downtown new york city stands the gee whiz diner, almost 30 years ago peter panayiotou created the cornerstone of the community. the restaurant survived hurricane sandy and 9/11, but shortly after the pandemic shut down dining in the city, 65-year-old peter became a victim of covid-19. >> after his passing, i was just in a rut in a sense. just stayed at home. just didn't do anything. only thing i was thinking about was maybe i should sell the place, cut loss, move forward. >> reporter: but when he came to check on the diner two months after his father's passing, what

he found completely changed his mind. >> when i came here and i saw the whole front door decorated with just cards. they were condolences how much they missed my dad. it was just like -- i was overwhelmed. overwhelmed. it was very heartfelt. i couldn't believe it. >> i relied on him so much every morning. i had a coffee, and he had wisdom. we talked small things to bill political things. and he was always there. >> reporter: for 25 years, takashi inagati came to the diner almost daily. he says peter was the kind of man who welcomed everyone, offering free food to the homeless and senior citizens. >> so many people just would come and say how much they miss him, share stories with me that even i didn't know about. how he -- he'll do one act just to help someone because that was

the person he was. >> reporter: then came a simple indelible tribute to his dad -- someone welded peter panayiotou on the sidewalk in front of the diner. >> i was in awe. i'm like, that's a sign. i said, thank you, dad. that was a sign to say keep it going. >> reporter: you have no idea who did this -- >> no. still don't. >> reporter: for chris, the outpouring of love gave him the courage he needed to carry on his father's legacy. >> this is his store. we're going to keep running it. >> reporter: if the person who welded your dad's name here is listening and watching, what would you like to say to them? >> thank you so much. you pushed me forward. that little gesture gave me a lot of strength. i thank you so much. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," nikki battiste, new york. >> oh, nikki battiste should have told us we needed tissues for that story. >> exactly. >> that was amazing. and you could see how much it

affected his son and what -- the difference peter made to people. >> yeah. >> wow. >> just the name of the diner, the gee whiz diner, sounds so welcoming. >> an american story and a new york story. part of what makes the city so great. it will bounce back. >> whenever i hear stories like that and people say who are we as americans, i go that's who we are right there. right there. thank you. all right. on today's podcast, former nascar driver bill lester discusses diversity in the racing world and his memoir "winning in reverse." it's published by pegasus, an imprint of simon & schuster, a division of viacomcbs. we'll be back.
