sure. thanks so much. thanks for watching kpix5 news. >> cbs this morning is coming up next. have a great friday eve. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. a third coronavirus vaccine is a step closer to winning fda approval, plus why booster shots may be necessary to stop dangerous new variants of this virus. with mexico where thousands of asylum seekers hope they will soon gain entry to the u.s. under president biden's policies. we'll show you how the administration's new approach is changing things on the ground. cbs news investigates alleged gangs within the los angeles county sheriff's department. we speak exclusively with deputies who told us these gang members are encouraged to shoot

people as part of their initiation. and tiger woods' car crash is declared an accident. the latest on that investigation, plus the medical risks that he faces during his recovery. the whole world pulling for tiger. first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> reporter: the u.s. is one step closer to a third covid-19 vaccine. >> reporter: the fda says johnson & johnson's coronavirus shot is safe and effective. unlike the pfizer and moderna products, it is a single-shot vaccine. >> we are ready to roll out this vaccine without delay. >> reporter: the u.s. intelligence report is expected to show saudi crown prince mohammad bin salman approved the killing of jamal khashoggi. tiger woods is recovering with a metal rod in his leg. investigators say there was no evidence he was impaired. >> reporter: the former aide to new york governor andrew cuomo is now detailing allegations about sexual harassment. >> governor andrew cuomo touring a mass vaccination site. >> i get to select the part of

the anatomy where i do the vaccine. >> reporter: drunk driving charges against bruce springsteen have been dropped. his blood alcohol level was so low that it didn't warrant the charges. all that -- >> three seconds left. the thunder get the last shot. for the win -- it's good! and all that matters -- [ speaking foreign language ] >> goal! >> the u.s. women's national team took on argentina in the championship game of the she believes cup. >> your 2021 she believes cup champions -- on "cbs this morning." >> got another injection of positive vaccine news today. the fda confirmed the johnson & johnson vaccine prevented all deaths and hospitalizations in trials. that's amazing. soon we'll have as much choice in vaccine brands as we do flavors of mountain dew? you got the pfizer? i got the malibu honey melon

baja booster. >> just glad that we're getting another vaccine. >> absolutely. >> they've started delivering the vaccine alongside a mountain dew, might get more people rushing forward. that would alleviate -- >> i'll be rushing forward. >> i'll take it with or without the mountain dew. >> that's where we begin this morning. we are closer to having a third coronavirus vaccine which if approved could mean there will be more than enough doses to vaccinate every american by this summer. the fda says johnson & johnson's one-dose vaccine is safe and effective for emergency authorization. a final ruling is expected very soon. meanwhile, another vaccine maker, moderna, says it's beginning tests on a new booster shot targeting one of the covid variants that is spreading rapidly. our lead national correspondent, david begnaud, is in los angeles this morning. david, good morning to you. some good news. >> reporter: good morning. the concerns over that covid-19 variant first detected in south africa continue to grow. the variant is in at least 14 states. data suggests it could reduce

the protection that people are getting from existing vaccines. so the drug companies are now working on those booster shots. that means folks who already have gotten vaccinated might have to get back in line. it has been about a week now since antonio whiteley got his second dose of the moderna vaccine. he's an acupuncturist who practices holistic medicine and jumped at the chance to get vaccinated because he's a designated health care provider. >> i'm not afraid of it. and i trust science. >> reporter: now he may have to get an additional booster shot from moderna. >> am i thrilled, no, because maybe after this booster what if there's another booster after that? >> reporter: that is a real possibility, according to moderna's president, dr. stephen hoge. >> i think we all hope that this doesn't become something that happens for everybody every year in the same way as it currently does. but it is definitely true that we could run into a situation where we're ultimately needing to provide a booster vaccine

every year or every few years based on the evolution of the virus. >> reporter: now moderna is not alone. there are other vaccine manufacturers all racing to develop boosters. they'll need to go through the fda's approval process, but that could go quicker than you think. thanks partly to the success of earlier large-scale vaccine trials. agency officials say smaller, shorter studies could assure the safety of the variant booster shots. now those trials would require hundreds, not thousands, of participants, and it could take only a few months. >> this s is actualllly not a ce in the effectiveness of the vaccine, it's the evolution of the virus. and so the vaccines are highly effective. that's been proven in clinical trials. but the virus isn't going to give up just with one fight. >> reporter: that's why mr. whiteley says he'll line up for the next one if he needs one. >> i will do what it takes to stop the spread of this. if there is a booster, i will have no problem saying yes to taking that booster. >> reporter: we asked dr. hoge with moderna about the concerns vaccinated people have about the

possibility of needing multiple booster shots as the virus continues to mutate. he says it is possible we could end up needing a booster annually or maybe even more often than that, but he notes that many people put up with getting the flu shot every year. he says with covid, it would be a small inconvenience to get our lives back on track. >> i'll say. i'm from the do whatever it takes to get our lives back school. thank you very much. we're joined now by there ashish jha, dean of brown university school of public health. always good to see you, dr. jha. >> good morning, gayle. thanks for having me back. >> i always wait for you to say that. we are -- i know it cracks me up, too. let's go back to david's piece about that booster shot. how important is the booster shot, and when do you think it will be available? >> yeah, first of all, i don't know if we need it. i'm just really not sure. the current vaccines really do look like they're working pretty well. so i suspect that --

>> they say we need it because of the variant, though. they're saying we need it because of the variant. you're saying maybe not? >> maybe not. maybe not. even the current vaccines seem to work pretty well against the variant. the j&j vaccine was tested against that variant, worked pretty well. nobody got hospitalized after or died. i don't know if we need it. if we need it, it will probably be sometime in the fall, i suspect. at which point we should have enough for people to get it. so we'll have to see. i remain pretty optimistic that we may get away without needing it at all. >> we have another weapon as you know coming out in this war that we call covid, the j&j, johnson & johnson. people are saying only one dose, i don't know if that's good. or what happened to having two doses? so could you sort it out? already people are asking a lot of questions about which vaccine is the best, pfizer, moderna, j&j, one dose versus two. what do you say about that? >> yeah. what i say to folks is first of all, all three vaccines are superb. let me tell you why. look, at the end of the day, what do we care about?

what we care about is making sure people don't get sick, they don't get hospitalized. of course, most importantly, that they don't die. all three of these vaccines are superb at preventing severe, severe illness. and there are minor differences otherwise. obviously j&j has the upside of one shot only. and what i'm saying to my family is, when it's your turn, get any of the three vaccines. don't worry about which one. >> get whatever's available. i got a call yesterday from friends who are grandparents who have both gotten their vaccines. they're ready to go. can grandparents who have been vaccinated, can they see their grandchildren? and why do we still have to wear masks after the vaccines? do the grandparents question first. a lot of people are wondering about this. >> it's a really good question. and look, obviously grandkids, others are not vaccinated yet. i think the way i look at this is with the vaccinations, grandparents are now much, much safer. and so i think it is much easier. what i would ideally like is for if the outbreaks are still very

large in the community for the infection numbers to come down a bit more but this is a conversation i'm having with my parents. they want to see my kids. not sure if they want to see me, but they definitely want to see my kids. you know, and we're trying to figure out when the right time is. and i think sooner rather than later that will become safer, especially as infection numbers continue to come down. >> it's important even after you get the vaccine, as you know, to wear a mask, maybe even two. i even started wearing two now because of you. you still got to wear the mask even after you get the vaccine. >> at least for a little while. and the reason is because there are a lot of people around who are not vaccinated. i've gotten a vaccine, but my wife hasn't. and i want to make sure that if i'm out and about and if i get infected that i don't spread it to her. that's why i wear a mask in public, to make sure that i can keep other people who are not vaccinated safe. at some point when everybody's vaccinated, the masks can come off in most instances. only in rare instances i think will we need to continue to wear a mask. >> dr. jha, we thank you. something tells me your parents want to see you. the numbers at brown university of covid are way down compared

to what's happening in the state of hawaii. rhode island. kudos to you. thank you very much for joining us this morning. in texas this morning, the border patrol is allowing asylum seekers to cross into the u.s. from mexico to have their requests processed. we went to the border and discovered that some asylum seekers who have waited years to press their claims say recent rule changes have actually put them at the back of the line again. president biden reversed the trump administration's remain in mexico policy. mireya villarreal is in brownsville, texas, with how the new policy has created dueling approaches among would-be migrants in mexico. my good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, anthony. during the trump administration, getting an asylum hearing was nearly impossible. and even though the biden administration has done away with this policy, answers and information are hard to come by right now. but to truly understand what is at stake here, you have to look

at this issue from both sides of this border. in mexico, this massive tent town is home to nearly 1,000 migrants. these are the families that followed the rules. they crossed into the u.s. through a checkpoint and were sent back to mexico to wait for their asylum cases to be heard. some have been here for two years. sam bishop is an army veteran providing essential medical help and other services for these migrants. >> people's daily lives are here. they've been here for so long, like anywhere else, they've been able to establish and function -- it's a microcosm of a real normal functioning city. >> reporter: we're not allowed inside the camp, so we talked to perla vargas through the fence. she and her daughter had to wait in mexico for a year and a half but are hopeful her case will finally get heard. through the remain in mexico policy, more than 70,000 people were sent to mexico to await asylum hearings creating a bottleneck during the trump administration. while those people wait in limbo, others are crossing

the border illegally and taking their chances with the new administration. over the border in brownsville, texas, we met up with one of the moms in this group who says they crossed the river on a raft, paying a smuggler $800 for two people. they asked for asylum when they were picked up by border patrol. that process begins with a covid test and a negative result means they are released into the united states to wait for a hearing. andrea rudnik is with team brownsville, a grassroots organization working to help families gain asylum. they're choosing at this point not to go through the process. >> that's right. because the word has gotten out that families with young children are getting across and getting released to go on to their families. it's catch and release all over again. >> yes, it is. we're trying not to use those words, but yes, it is. >> reporter: while the administration and congress work through legislation and mexican officials say they don't have the resources to care for families like this anymore,

people like rudnik and her organization are left trying to fill the gaps. for team brownsville -- our motto has always been meeting the needs one family at a time. and that's really all i can think about. i can't think about 10,000 people, 100,000 people, a million people. >> reporter: today 25 people will be allowed to cross this border right here and finish out their asylum cases in the united states and that number should grow over the next few weeks. it's important to point out the trump administration did not believe catch and release worked. there's evidence to show up to 96% of the families that request asylum do actually show up to those court hearings. >> thank you very much. >> a long awaited u.s. intelligence report on the murder of "washington post" contributor jamal khashoggi could be released later today. now president biden says he has rate it and he will be talking to the saudi king soon about it. the declassified summary will reportedly singling out saudi

crown prince mohammad bin salman for the killing. it's part to have the effort to reset ties with the wing dom. weijia jiang has more on this story from the white house. >> reporter: a security camera captured the last time journalist jamal khashoggi was seen alive, entering the saudi consulate in istanbul in october 2018 where he was killed and dismembered by a hit squad. his fiance waiting unknowingly outside. >> he was my best friend. he was the love of my life. >> reporter: khashoggi was a fierce critic of saudi leadership and the murders were linked to saudi arabia's crown prince mohammad bin salman who rules saudi arabia on behalf of his father the king. he denied knowing about the operation to cbs evening news anchor and managing editor norah o'donnell during an interview for "60 minutes". >> how did you not know about this operation?

>> some think that i should know what 3 million people working for the saudi government do daily. it's impossible that the 3 million would send their daily reports to the leader or the second highest person in the saudi government. >> reporter: but in 2018 the cia assessed that not only did the crown prince know about the killing he ordered khashoggi's execution. khashoggi's execution. the murder led to international outrage. former president trump sanctioned 17 saudis for khashoggi's murder. but he did not broadly punish the crown prince important

ally in the fight against terrorism. tony? >> complicated situation for the biden administration. thank you very much. investigators say that the car crash that left tiger woods seriously injured is considered nothing more than an accident. the golf legend is recovering from severe leg injuries in a los angeles area hospital, and there are now calls for a safety review of the winding, hilly road where woods rolled over in a borrowed suv tuesday. as carter evans shows, authorities say no channel charges are planned. >> reporter: after just over 24 hours of investigation, the l.a. county sheriff seems confident there's nothing criminal about the crash involving tiger woods. >> this is purely an accidentment. >> reporter: still, investigators will be looking at everything from distracted driving to high speed as a potential cause. >> since there are no skid marks and obvious things we can determine speed, we have to go to the black box of the vehicle to estimate that speed.

>> reporter: tmz says this surveillance video shows the suv woods was driving moments before the crash. the stretch of roadway in a suburb near los angeles is notoriously dangerous. since january of last year, there have been more than a dozen accidents, four resulting in injuries. monica wertman crashed her car on the same curvy road in 2007. she wants to see a median installed. >> after the first flip i was playing like let me live, what is happening it. >> reporter: in the hours following woods' accident, doctors inserted a metal rod in his tibia and used screws and pins to stabilize his ankle and foot. >> the dashboard crumpling down can cause that kind of injury. >> reporter: dr. andrew pollack is an orthopedist. he's performed hundreds of corrective surgeries on severe injuries just like tiger woods' this sounds like a brutal injury. >> these are terrible injuries. there's a very, very high rate

of long-term disability after this injury. the real risk is of infection a scene. anthony? >> thank you, carter. you just -- i'm not worried about his golf swing. i hope we can walk and he's going to be okay. >> yeah. >> and all that. >> i'm just glad he is still here with his children. i bet they're not thinking about his golf swing. they just want him to come home. >> for others it may be time for the barrier on that road. ahead, the new trouble facing embattled new york governor andrew cuomo after a former aide makes allegations of

ahead, an investigation looks into claims that there are violent gangs of deputies within the los angeles county sheriff's department. maria elena salinas spoke exclusively with the deputies who are not in the gangs, and they want to keep their identities a secret. >> reporter: is there an initiation process to join the gang? >> you could say that. they could go from you getting a shooting or, you know, they do anything for these guys. >> reporter: you said they get shootings, what do you mean by that? >> if you get in a shooting, that's a deficnite brownie poin. >> coming up, why they say the

alleged gang members are able to get away with unjustified shootings. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. ♪ if you havave moderatete to s severe psororiasis... or psosoriatic artrthritis, littttle things,s, can bebecome your r big moment. that's w why there's's otez. otezla i is not an injectioion or a creream... ...it's s a pill thahat trtreats diffeferently. for pspsoriasis, 7 75% clear skinin is achievevable... ...w.with reduceced reredness, thihickness, and scalaliness of p plaque. for pspsoriatic ararthriti, ...otetezla is proroven.... to rededuce joint t swellin, tendnderness, anand pain. and the e otezla prerescribg informrmation has s no requirerement for routine e lab monitotoring. don't ususe if you'r're alallergic to o otezla. it m may cause s severe diarrheaea, nausea, , or vomi. ototezla is asassociated w with. incrcreased risksk of deprese. tell y your doctoror if you haveve a historyry of depepression oror suicicidal thougughts.... ...o.or if thesese feelings s d. some p people takiking oteza rereported weieight loss.. your d doctor shouould monir yourur weight and may y stop treatatment. upper respspiratory tract ininfection and heheadache mayay occur. tellll your doctctor about your m medicines anand if you'r're pregnant or p planning toto be.

sheriff's department has a huge problem. [ chants ] it's an open secret that deputy gangs have existed within the los angeles sheriff's department for decades. >> they operate as a gang. they commit crimes. they assault people. >> reporter: currently the most prevalent are the ban defeat ohs, comprised of most l lly deputies who serve the neighborhoods. these deputies do not want to be identified for fear of reprisal. cbs news agreed to blur their faces and substitute their voices. >> based out of east l.a. but they've been promoted and spread all over the county. >> reporter: how do they identify themselves? >> with a tattoo. >> reporter: is there an initiation process to join? >> you could say that. it could go from you getting a shooting or, is you know, they do anything for these guys.

>> reporter: you said they get shootings. what do you mean? >> if you get in a shooting, that's a deficitity in brownie point. >> reporter: according to the deputies, to justify those shootings, they plant weapons on suspects. >> there's been multiple occasions where they say, hey, we got a guy that has a gun, and he's running from us. in reality, that person never had a gun. and they would say, oh, it was a phantom gun. it was something that really wasn't there. >> reporter: you have personally witnessed that? >> yes. >> reporter: a lot o of these officecers are latino, so why a they targeting other latinos? is it racial profiling? self-loathing? >> i do racial profile. it's like latino gangs. they target other young latinos. >> reporter: which is what lisa vargas has contended all along. her 21-year-old son, anthony vargas, who aspired to be a chef, was shot 13 times by sheriff's deputies while on his way home. >> you know, we have videos with his voice and his giggle, and we have to play that because we

don't have his voice no more. we don't have his smile. >> reporter: lisa vargas filed a lawsuit against the county of los angeles and the deputies who shot her son. the suit alleges that individuals who shot anthony were members of the banditos game and memberships included using excessive force and shooting those who are unarmed. >> they have initiations, and in order for them to become a prospect, their thing is they have to kill somebody. [ chants ] >> reporter: anthony vargas was shot by sheriff's deputy nicholas perez and jonathan rojas. are they also part of the gang or prospects for the banditos? >> prospects, yes. >> they're prospects. >> reporter: how do you know? >> you know, personal conversations with them. and them saying that was one of their main goals -- to be part of this gang. >> reporter: if you refuse to comply with their demands to join the gang, what happens? >> they stop giving you backup, which is very dangerous. they ignore you.

>> i've seen no evidence of three or more deputies engaging in a criminal activity with a unifying symbol whose primary purpose is to commit crime. >> reporter: l.a. county sheriff alexander villanueva has denied the existence of gangs within his department. on a video posted to the l.a. usd website, he warns the department's employees against joining such groups. >> any employee who aligns with a clique or subgroup which engages in any form of misconduct will be held accountable. i do not want you joining these alleged cliques any more, period. >> the banditos believe they can get away with anything, and you know they're not going to have any type of consequences for their actions. >> no one is above the law. >> reporter: newly elected l.a. county district attorney george gascon says he is committed to upholding the law. >> we take this allegation seriously. if in fact we believe that there is a, you know, criminal activity within the sheriff's department, then we'll deal

accordingly. >> it's not just the mothers -- >> reporter: what does justice look like for you and for your entire family? >> justice for me is a whole long list. not only is it these officers being held accountable for homicide, for murder, it's everybody else involved. i being members of the prospects or banditos. >> why did sheriff's deputies allegedly target anthony vargas? >> reporter: well, anthony vargas was coming moment from a prayer group and a party in his house when he was approached by

the deputies. now, there was a robry nearby. however, the victim of the robbery had described the suspects as three male hispanics between 35 and 40 years old. anthony vargas was 21 years old, and the victim later when he was shown an array of photos did not identify vargas. also, there was no dna or fingerprints on the weapon that the deputies allege that anthony vargas had on him. and his case is only one or his murder is only one of several young latinos who have died in the hands of alleged deputy gang members. >> such a disturbing report. thank you so much. >> anthony, it's so troubling. you have deputies in the department saying this exists. you have the sheriff saying, no it doesn't exist. >> doesn't exist. >> sounds to me like they need an outside investigation or something. you have mrs. vargas talking about the loss of her son who doesn't appear to have been in a gang. it's very, very troubling. >> very troubling. coming up, new york governor

inappropriate behavior behavior in the workplace. the latest accusations come from former aide lindsay boyan who wrote "andrew cuomo opposed his power as governor to sexually harass me just as he had done with so many other women." mola lenghi is following the story. good morning to you. what is the governor saying about these allegations? >> reporter: good morning. a spokesperson for the governor said in a statement, quote, claims of inappropriate behavior are quite simply false. lindsay boylan first brought her allegations forward about two months ago on twitter. allegations that the governor denies. now she says she's providing details as the governor faces separate accusations of bullying anand creatating a toxic workrk.

>> i i l lindsay boylan n -- >> reporteter: lindsdsay boylan democrat running for manhattan borough president, previously worked for andrew cuomo for more than three years. boylan alleges she was told in 2016 the governor had a crush on her. she says once after a one-on-one briefing, cuomo stepped in front of her and kissed her on the lips without permissions, and on october, 2017, trip on his taxpayer-funded jet, the governor suggested let's play strip poker. the governor's office disputes the claims. a statement from four aides who flew with boylan and the governor that month said "we are on each of these october flights, and this conversation did not happen." >> i don't believe their denials. i believe lindsay boylan. >> reporter: democratic senator alessandra biaggi worked in the office f from april to december 2017.. >> i did not like going to work. it was actually one of the darkest moments and times. my life. he h has used his power in a wa

to torture people, to t threat peopople. ththat is a line that you cross when you behave that way that is abusive. >> reporter: another woman, karen hinton, worked for cuomo in 1995 and also describes a culture of workplace bullying. in the "new york "daily news,"" she wrote that cuomo made me feel as if i were no good at my job and, thus, totally dependent on him to keep it. morgan peck me to, a journalist, said he received threats from one of cuomo's top aides when he wrote an article criticizing the governor seven years ago. >> the culture that you describe of bullying, where do you think that camee from withinn the officece? >> i it comes dirirectly f from top. this is the governor's mo. everybody who covers albany, anybody who works in the orbit of the capitol knows that the governor is this way. and he thinks it's a virtue. and he's wrong. >> reporter: now these accusations follow recent revelations that the governor and his team withheld data about the actual number of people who

died of coronavirus in nursing homes in the state of new york. senior adviser to cuomo says that state senator biaggi never interacted with the governor when she worked with his administration. we reached out to the governor's office for a response about the claims and have yet to hear back. tony? >> few different issues for the governor. thank you very much. next, vlad duthiers has the stories you

vaccines this requires one shot. if it helps, the way i remember it is pfizer, moderna, you have to returna, johnson & johnson, one poke and your awesome. that's what i say. >> that's how you see it. we saw dr. jha earlier say whatever you can get, you get. it's a question everybody asks when you hear a person got a shot. what one did you get? did you have any side effects? whatever you can get -- >> i'll be the first one -- >> currently there are two answers, which did you get. we'll begin with what could be a third. a few days from now we could have a third coronavirus vaccine available here in these united states. the fda analyzed johnson & johnson's single-shot vaccine and found it is about 66% effective against moderate to sevevere covid casases and abou% efeffective agaiainst the mosts serious cases. the panel also says there were no specific safety concerns linked to the vaccine. >> an fda advisory committee is holding a hearing tomorrow when it's expected to recommend the

vaccine for emergency use authorization. it could be fully approved by sunday. johnson & johnson says it has nearly four million doses ready to go now, and will have 20 million by the end of march. that is less than the company had promised. >> so it's another third option. that's good news. we've got an update on a six-month cbs news investigation into a remote military base used by u.s. service members after 9/11. first on "cbs this morning," we've learned that a bipartisan group of lawmakers will introduce legislation in the house and senate later today. now this would guarantee health coverage and services for sick veterans who were exposed to toxic materials at the uzbekistan base known as k2. senior investigative correspondent catherine herridge has spoken with the veterans who reported rare cancers and other illnesses after being at that base. catherine, good morning to you. what would this legislation mean? sounds like a very encouraging sign. >> reporter: well, good morning. if the k2 veterans care act of 2021 becomes law, it will be an

extraordinary victory for these sick veterans and their families after years of being denied disability benefits. mark jackson who advocates on behalf of 15,000 service members who passed through the former soviet airbase told cbs news the legislation would be a home run. >> it does get me a little emotional, tinge in the back of my throat, a lump, because we worked so hard for it. and the odds were stacked against it. and now we have bipartisan legislation at the beginning of this congress. >> reporter: the legislation would establish what's called a presumption of service connection which means sick k2 veterans will no longer have to prove to the va that their illness is linked to toxic exposure at the base. the image in our reports of former air force mechanic doug wilson, a brain cancer survivor, riding his electric wheelchair along a busy florida highway to his physical therapy

appointments struck a nerve with lawmakers. this legislation should get wilson more financial help, better medical care, and access to more programs including transportation to and from his appointments. this legislation has tremendous momentum. it has bipartisan support. and the lawmakers sponsoring the bill are hopeful they can get it done in this session. anthony? >> that's great news. that's what happens when really solid reporting can lead to real results. thanks, catherine herridge. we appreciate it. ahead, mellody hobson will talk with us about shrinking the wealth gap between black and white americans.

[ [ applause ] ] > this weekek marks 56 6 yea since cicivil rightsts activist malcolm x was assassinated right here in new york city. for decades there have been many questions around the circumstances of his death, and whether the three men convicted of his murder were actually the people responsible. at a news conference last saturday, malcom x's daughter heard a letter for the first time that they say is evidence that the nypd and the fbi conspired to have their father assassinated. "cbs this s morning sasaturday" co-hosost michellele miller exps what this could mean for malcom x's legacy. while people don't realize how frustrated negros have become. >> reporter: malcolm x was a legendary orator, charismatitic cocontroversiaial, revolutution. >> to o lift the s struggle fof frfreedom of t the negro i in t coununtry from t the level o of rightsts to the lelevel of humu

rights. >> reporteter: on febrbruary 21 1965, he w was assassisinated w giving a a speech atat the audu ballroom in harlem. now, 56 years later, a letter given to m malcolm x's's daught cocould hold p proof the n nypd the fbfbi conspirered to have e killed. >> i am relieved that i am able to share this truth with the world today. >> reporter: reginald wood reads the words of his cousin, former undercover cop raymond wood, who died in november. he wrote that letter in 2011 to be released upon his death. >> it was my assignment to draw the two men into a felonious federal crime so that they could be arrested by the fbi -- >> r reporter: t those men w we memembers of m malcolm x's's se detail and were arrested days before his assassination. >> there was no security to prevent the gunman from coming into the building. >> reporter: three members of the nation of islam were

convicted of the murder. >> malcolmlm's death n never sa righght with me.e. >> repeporter: on the heels s oe 2020 netflix documentary "who killed malcolm x," the manhattan district attorney's office began a preliminary review last february. after the letter's release, it says "the review remains active and ongoing." as for the nypd and the fbi, they say they have turned over all their relevant records to the da and will cooperate. for "cbs this morning," michelle miller, new york. >> first on "cbs this morning," malcolm x's daughter, that's ilyasah shabazz, and civil rights attorney ben crump join us to discuss. good to see you both. i want to start with you, ilyasah. i can't imagine what it was like as his daughter hearing those words for the first time on saturday. what were your thoughts as you heard them? >> wow. well, first, good morning, gayle. it's a pleasure to be here with you.

when we first heard that letter, it made us think of our father who was just in his 20s when he burst on to the scene of the civil rights movement and 39 when he was gunned down, when he was assassinated in 1965. down, assassinated in 1965. he gave the biggest critique of america, and he wanted america to live up to her promise of liberty and justice for all, and we have seen his story the injustice against black americans primarily and my father worked diligently to ensure the end of this senseless brutality. >> were you surprised by the words? were you surprised to hear what the officer said? >> i can say i was surprised because i was caught off guard, but it's something that my

family and many always wondered, but most importantly, we wanted to ensure that the truth is uncovered. >> ben crump, i know -- good to see you, ben. we should say you're not representing the family at this time. but i know the wood family brought the letter to you in november. why was it not revealed until last weekend? >> well, one of the things reggie wood wanted to know, gayle, when he came to me, what do i do with this? do i turn it to the federal government, to the fbi? the question was, would they simply just suppress it, as this had been a secret for 56 years, that ray wood had carried under duress. he has been told there would be personal harm to him and his family if he ever told people about the fbi and the nypd

conspiring to assassinate malcolm x. and so, gayle, this is about restorative justice, trying to vindicate those who have been wrongfully convicted by ray wood, nypd and fbi, people like panther 21, including tupac shah kur's mother. those two men who spent almost three decades in prison to keep ray's secret for trying to discredit civil rights leaders in malcolm's case and many believe in fred hampton and martin luther king's case led to their deaths. >> ilyasah, i'm curious, given what mr. crump just said about the late officer wood. i'm curious what you think of him today. on the one hand, he's written the letter so the information is out there. on the other hand, he was part of it back then and he was silent for so many years. >> well, listen, my parents'

home was fire bombed on valentine's eve as they both lay in bed asleep. a bomb was thrown in the nursery of their babies' room, where my sisters and i slept. one week later my mother witnessed this horrific assassination of her husband. she was a young woman with four bababies and pregnanant with tw and i i know thatt she wasas ex to walkk into that aududubon ballroom t that sununday aftere toto see her husband,d, a and s walked out shatterered. she attended to his needs, opened his tie. in spite of all of this trauma that she endured, she raised her six daughters with love, kindness, joy. i just take my hat off to her.

>> to your mother, yeah. >> if we can find out -- >> the truth. if we could find out the truth. ilyasah, we don't have much time left. ben, i know you called for a commission on this. i'm curious, ilyasah, what do you think is the biggest misperception about your dad? and do you think his message is being misinterpreted these days? >> young people were politicized this summer when they witnessed the death of george floyd, i think many people are now turning to malcolm because they realize malcolm had a profound reaction to these horrific inyous that continue to occur even today. >> all right, ilyasah shabazz, still so many questions that need to be answered. i hope you get them. ben crump, thank you for bringing this letter to light. >> thank you. ahead on "cbs this morning" our "more perfect union" has a

for a 3-month prescription. welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time to bring you some of the stories -- actually my favorite part of the broadcast -- "talk of the table." gives you insight in to what we find interesting. anthony mason is up first. >> i'll tell you what i found interesting. we've covered debate over the confederate statues a lot. a new report finds that 168 confederate symbols were removed across the u.s. last year. the southern poverty law center, a leading anti-racism organization, produced that study. all but one of the symbols were removed after the death of george floyd. in june, protesters in richmond knocked over a statue of jefferson davis, the president of the confederacy. later that month, a 12-foot

statue of john c. calhoun in charleston was removed by workers after a vote by the city council. calhoun was vice president under andrew jackson and a defender of slavery. soon after the mississippi state legislature voted to remove the confederate flag emblem from the state's flag. the new design debuted earlier this year. and in december, a statue of confederate general robert e. lee was removed from the u.s. capitol. all that very interesting. virginia apparently led the way with the number of symbols that were removed -- 71 in all last year. the southern poverty law center calls all of this transformative, but notes that more than 2,100 symbols of the confederacy remain throughout the country. >> that's very interesting. >> more work to do. >> yeah. but a lot of progress. >> a lot of progress. you're right about that. let's celebrate that. mine is about a good guy. one man's good deed turned into a very emotional moment for a woman in florida. so the man went to her home to

return her wallet. it was caught, of course, on doorbell cam video. >> hey, how you doing? i found your wallet at walmart. ms. crosby? i found your wall stret at walm. i'm going to put it behind the welcome thing. i'm putting it by the amazon boxes. >> i love this. jennifer crosby was not at home, but the two met this week after someone saw the story on local tv and recognized the man as johnny. crosby told nbc affiliate, that's wtlv, that johnny got in touch with her by phone. >> i answered, and i hear this guy say, hello? miss crosby? this is me, the guy with your wallet. oh, my gosh. i was beginning to think you were truly an angel. and you've flown away. no one had told us who you were. i mean, you, johnny, have just given me reassurance in the souls of people. >> crosby lives about 20% miles from that walmart. she said johnny probably drove at least 45 minutes just to give

the wallet to her house. if you're wondering why we call him johnny, he doesn't want to give his last name. he refused to do any interviews. he just wanted to do a good thing. you're taking a whisk risk, you know these days. >> johnny be good. >> tony, johnny be good is perfect. perfect. all right. >> your turn. >> it is my turn. i'm talking about van life, #vanlife. the pandemic has made old-school air stream trailers popular again, very popular. retail sales at airstream dealerships jumped 22% last year. and the trailers are selling so fast there's a huge backlog. the company is now saying if you want to join the van life movement and live in an airstream or any other kind of rv, actually an airstream in particular, you're going to have to wait a year for them to make it and get it to you. i find this kind of life very attractive, i have to say. >> i wonder how much they cost, those airstreams. >> i don't know. you got -- we have video of me -- i did the van life there.

>> there you are. >> yeah. that was -- >> very glamorous. >> took out the fun part. the fun part was the driving. look at the view here. >> you had a driver. that's the fun part. >> an important investigative work on what it's like to live on the road if you go to the airstream way or any other rv way. that was bob wells, he owns cheaprvliving.com. an amazing website. i recommend it. i do. >> i think it's good for a family vacation to take your kids, hit the road, see the country. a great idea. >> i met a family of-doing that. >> you did? >> were they having a good time? >> yes, they were. in 250 square feet. nothing but bunk beds. >> well, we've taken a turn now. >> gayle would like her own trailer, please. >> yes, gayle would, and her own toilet, too. >> they didn't have a toilet on there -- no toilet. >> now we turn to the financial challenges that many black americans face. it's part of our coverage of black history month. a new survey by ariel investments and charles schwab reveals how black investors continue to lag behind their

white counterparts in building wealth. while 71% of white americans say they invest in stocks, just 55% of black americans do. and when it comes to saving, the survey found black americans put away $300 fewer every month than white americans. mellody hobson is the co-ceo and president of aerial investments and joins us now. good morning. great to have you. thanks for being here. >> great to see you. >> a couple of things really struck me in the survey. the first -- obviously the most alarming is that the black families median and mean wealth is less than 15% of white families. that's a stunning statistic. but i was also really surprised to see that african-american participation in the stock market is at its lowest level in the 20 years of this survey. is the pandemic playing a role in that? >> well, this was certainly one of the most disheartening things about the research we've done,

that we've come full circle from when i first started doing this survey in 1998 until now. we're actually at a lower level of stock market participation than that time, 1998. we've peaked in the early zeros with participation around 74%. but this is a real setback. the pandemic certainly has had a lot to do with that. we've seen a period where the black economic condition has been really challenged. african-americans have been hit much harder in this pandemic than white americans. you see that with just the unemployment rate itself. when we did the survey, we were hovering almost close to 11% of black unemployment versus around 6% for whites. so that was one part of the story. and certainly we've had to borrow from our 401(k), raid our savings, defer student loans, a bunch of issues have kept us from being able to invest. >> does that mean that wide wealth gap is getting even

wider? >> absolutely. and the thing is when you compound these differences over time, we're talking about giant differences when it comes to saving for retirement or the ability to pass on money to heirs, you know, at death. so these are giant differences that we really need to address because they have big implications for all of society. this is not just a black issue. to the extent that african-americans have not saved or invested in the same degree or to the same degree as our white counterparts. we will find ourselves being a burden on society, that means higher taxes for everyone. there are real implications here. >> yeah. makes me sad to hear that. you said there are some bright spots in the survey. it showed that younger black americans are investing in the stock market. but you also say caution here, caution. >> so here's the good news -- there is hope, just so you know. that is when we looked at

african-americans under 40, they're tracking with their white counterparts across all income levels. that's a great story. we're playing catchup. we're actually talking about the stock market around the dinner table, and that is a very, very good sign. last year african-americans were three times more likely to invest in the stock market than their white counterparts, those under the age. 40. now watch out, we're talking about a frothy market now. the market has again caused another all-time high yesterday. so we want to make sure people are playing the long game here. they're not thinking about the short term and they're investing for the long term. and they don't run out of the market at the first sign of trouble. >> i was raised in a home where we didn't talk about money because my mom said it's impolite. we should really rethink that, shouldn't we, in the conversations that we have about money? especially in black families where the wealth gap is so wide.

>> that is changing right now in real time, gayle. and i am so happy to see it. we asked people did you talk about the stock market when you were growing up. 10% of african-americans said that they did. a third, almost 40% of african-americans right now say they are talking about the stock market and money around the at

personally? >> personally it just is a

representation of a lot of hard work. i'm on a team when i'm in a boardroom, i'm not the only one. there are amazing board members around the table. i'm in partnership with kevin johnson, the ceo. i'm following in the legacy of the great howard shultz who inspires me every single day. and i think about the work that i'm to do for the partners of starbucks and for shareholders. and i'm going to make sure that i work really hard to be up to the task. and i also understand i need to do a good job so that there can be more black women who are chairs of fortune 500 companies. >> all right. >> it's great news. congratulations. it's really cool news. >> thank you. ahead in our "a more perfect union" series, we meet the creator of the black college expo who has helped more than half a million, that's right, young people on

price answers every call for food, money, even laptops so students can continue learning and thriving. >> i cry a lot, but they're tears of joy, too, because a lot of them see that they can do it. i feel like that text, that call, it's only a minute. to say, hey, i believe in you. if we all did that, we'd have a better world. >> reporter: while the classroom shows students the light, price shows them the love where they can then create their own wonderful world. for "cbs this morning," jamie yuccas, los angeles. >> teresa price, like everything about her. >> no kidding. >> helping kids is just her happy place. it's infectious watching her help other people. >> 500,000 kids to college because of her helping hand. >> yeah. >> jamie yuccas introduces us to the nicest people. >> we love her. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
