7:00 am
>> cbs this morning is coming up next. have a great wednesday. we talked to health officials who warn this could lead to a new wave of deaths. the supreme court takes up voting rights as more than 40 states consider measures that
7:01 am
critics say will make voting harder. how baseless claims of election fraud play into this debate. the new movie judas and the blah messiah challenges our views of the recent past. > looking f forward too tal to them. but first here'ss yourr "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> this country will have enough vaccine supply for every adult in america by the end of may. >> texas and mississippi are lifting most covid restrictions, including mask mandates. >> it is now time to open texas 100%. >> now is not the time to let our guard down. >> six democratic new york lawmakers are now pushing for the impeachment of governor andrew cuomo. >> every woman who comes forward should deserve to be heard and treated with respect. at least 13 were killed when
7:02 am
an suv carrying 25 people collided with a semitruck in southern california. >> a number of people were put into that vehicle. two dr. seuss books will not be published for what's described as racist and insensitive information. and dr. oz helped a man with chest compressions and used a defibrillator to revive him. and the first cruise, all crew members will be required to be vaccinated. >> now you have to worry about on a cruise ship is salmonella. ♪ vaccine, vaccine ♪ >> country music legend dolly parton got her vaccine in the most dolly way possible -- with a song and smile. >> don't be a chicken squat. get the shot. this morning's "eye opener"
7:03 am
is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. >> as only dolly can do. >> go, dolly. >> yes. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with two major developments in the fight against the coronavirus. first, president biden is vastly speeding up the timeline for the vaccine rollout by two months. he now says there will be enough doses for everybody in america by the end of may, partly due to historic corporation between the government rival pharmaceutical companies. and we're learning about major gambles to fully reopen businesses in texas and mississippi. texas will drop its mask mandate on march 10th and mississippi is dropping theirs later today. nan nancy cordous is at the white house. the texas decision flies in the face of advice. how is the white house responding to this? >> they're reiterating it's a
7:04 am
mistake and masks save lives but texas is one of 11 states easing restrictions, despite federal guidelines. >> this country will have enough vaccine supply, i will say it again, for every adult in america by the end of may. >> reporter: that came as welcome news one year into the pandemic and lockdown. but the president was clear, there's a long way to go. >> today's announcements are a huge step in our effort to beat this pandemic. but i have to be honest with you, this fight is far from over. >> that's been a consistent message from the federal government. >> at this level of cases with various spreading, we stand to lose the hard-earned ground we've gained. >> reporter: but regardless of administration guidance, states are able to do as they please. texas governor greg abbott announced he's opening the second largest state in the country back up. >> all businesses of any type are allowed to open 100%.
7:05 am
also, i am ending the statewide mask mandate. >> reporter: some states have been able to gradually lift some restrictions without seeing major spikes. but last april when texas had 514 cases, abbott made the decision to lift some restrictions. by early june the number of cases there had more than tripled. at the time the vaccine wasn't available, and it still isn't for many texans. as of tuesday, texas ranked 48th overall in vaccinations in the u.s. just under 2 million people, or 6.8% of the state's population have received the two necessary doses of either the moderna or pfizer vaccine. >> right now is not the time for us to be lifting restrictions. >> reporter: health officials have been urging states to keep their safety measures in place. >> if we lift the restrictions now, we're just asking for another wave.
7:06 am
remember, every time we get another wave, people die. while we're getting fatigued, these variants will take any opportunity to succeed if we give it to them. so we cannot give them that opportunity. >> reporter: president biden issued a new directive to states yesterday telling them to put teachers and other people who work in schools at the front of the line to get vaccines. about 30 states are already doing something like that, and it's unclear how much power the federal government really has to compel the rest of the states to do the same. >> nancy, thank you very much. and what nancy points out there, there is a state's right issue here, texas request do what it wants but we're not in the end zone yet and easing restrictions is like spiking the ball on the 10 yard line. you haven't scored. >> i like what he said, every time you get another wave, people die. >> and there's a connection what we do, our movement and cases. >> we've seen it over and over again in the course of the pandemic. it feels like we're so close, we want to get to the finish line. >> it feels like it, because we
7:07 am
are. and it's our next story here. the single doses shots of johnson & johnson are bringing hope and relief to communities across the country today. ohio state university in columbus is one of the first places to get started. our lead national and kp correspondent david begnaud is there. good morning. >> good morning. it was an exciting morning and you only need one dose of the vaccine. here in columbus they repeportey got 300 doses yesesterday andndd let's s do a trialal run righth. >> threeee, twtwo, one! vaccine! >> reporter: just like that, barbara smallenberger became one of the very first people in the united states to receive the johnson & johnson vaccine. >> i can't believe it's over. >> reporter: she was one of five people to get the shot at ohio state university tuesday. going forward, ohioans can choose which shot they want. >> what we're going to do is try to figure out why are people choosing one versus another so
7:08 am
it helps us determine the best way to go in the future.heber. johnson & johnson shot was really her only option. she has several allergies to different medicines, including the solution that turns the freeze-dried moderna and pfizer vaccine into a liquid. so while she's been eligible for months, her doctors said you need to wait for j&j. >> i thought when is it going to be my turn? i am so thrilled that today was my day for freedom. >> reporter: freedom to see her family again. lke her 87-year-old sister who lives down the street. she just started her vaccinations, too. and her 35-year-old grandson who is developmentally disabled. he'll get his second shot this week. heber is most compensated to see her son brian. she hasn't seen him in two years. >> we talk on the phone every night. but in person is just the best ever. i grew up during world war ii, i didn't see my dad for four years. so i know what being away from loved ones is about.
7:09 am
at 84, i realized my time to be around is limited. and so to be able to make plans to see someone i haven't seen him or not. >> you have to love miss nancy. if you want only one vaccine, johnson & johnson might be the one for you. it was effective at presenting allergies and death. but if you don't have an allergy like nancy, pfizer or moderna are also right for you. >> that was great to see, thank you very much. >> amen. the u.s. has a long way to go on vaccine distribution but we're way ahead of most other countries, and that includes germany, where many are kmochoog to wait for one vaccine or another instead of just getting the shot most available.
7:10 am
chris, what is going on there? >> good morning, gayle. the u.s. has 60 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine ready to roll out as soon as the fda approves it. now, here in germany where cases of the disease have been rising, they already have astrazeneca. the only hard part is getting germans to take it. biggest vacn center in hamburg, 35-year-old surgeon yohannes was eager to finally get his shot and rest easy with his partner and newborn son. now -- >> i'm a little bit afraid. i get the astrazeneca vaccine. i thought i was getting another vaccine, but i'm here and heard there's the decision that i don't get it. i was really disappointed. >> reporter: it's a scene playing out across europe's most powerful country. so far germany has received more than 1.4 million doses of astrazeneca in vaccination centers like these. the problem -- half of germans
7:11 am
say they don't really want it. the european union has secured a whopping 400 million doses. but then germany's vaccine committee refused to approve astrazeneca for those over 65, citing a lack of data. instead, they'll get the pfizer shot. the backlash was spawned. so if somebody calls you now and says we have the astrazeneca vaccine for you, what would you say? >> i would say no thanks, give it to people who really need it. yeah. >> reporter: that's despite new real-world data from the united kingdom that showed the astrazeneca vaccine was more effective than the pfizer shot in preventing hospitalization. a stunning breakthrough, says immunologist thomas jacobs. >> we have the best and second best. i think we have two effective and safe vaccines. >> reporter: do you think that people are being snobs when it comes to the vaccine? >> yeah, maybe a little bit. >> reporter: and with many germans turning their noses up
7:12 am
at astrazeneca, most sits in cold storage. compared to more than 15% of americans getting their first shot, less than 6% of germans have gotten theirs. though that number is growing. >> we all want to >> that perception might be changing. angela merkel is defending the vaccine and meeting with leaders to decide the next phase of the pandemic response, this in a country that's still largely locked down. >> chris, thank you very much. overnight ten rockets were hit at a military base used by western forces in iraq. around 2,000 u.s.-led coalition troops are based there. an official tells cbs news no u.s. troops were wounded but a civilian contractor did die of a heart attack.
7:13 am
the rocket attack follows friday's u.s. air strikes on militias in eastern syria that are backed by iran. this video you're looking at here apparently showeds a launch vehicle surrounded by iraqi forces north of the base, a modified pickup truck. no one claimed responsibility for this attack. we're expecting more explosive testimony in the senate today on january's deadly assault on the capitol. yesterday fbi director christopher wray labeled the attack by former president trump supporters an act of domestic terrorism in remarks to the senate judiciary committee. he said more than 300 people have been arrested, but the wider problem continues to grow. >> the january 6th was not an isolated event. the problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now and it's not going away any time soon. >> the fbi is currently investigating around 2,000 domestic terrorism cases. wray said that number has doubled in the past four years.
7:14 am
a horrific highway crash that killed at least 13 people is the focus of an intense investigation in california. officials now want to know why this ford expedition had, listen to this, 25 people inside when it collided with a large truck yesterday near the u.s./mexico border. the suv is built to carry no more than eight passengers. officials say they removed the middle seat and back seat. officials tell cbs news a breach in the nearby border wall may be related to this crash. a human smuggling investigation is also under way. the political and legal fight over election laws and the right to vote is getting more intense this morning. democrats in congress are pushing one proposal that would affect the all americans while republicans are going state by state attacking efforts to make building easier. ed o'keefe is with us now. good morning to you. the supreme court just heard arguments on some voting restrictions in arizona. >> that's right, tony. lower courts said these two laws
7:15 am
disproportionately disaffect vters of color. one of them has to do with provisional ballots that are cast in the wrong precinct, often accidently. the other has to do with the collection of your absentee ballots, somebody might pick it up and drop it off at the polling site. critics might call that ballot harvesting. the high court likely to keep these laws in place but one of the reasons democrats and republicans keep fighting over these kinds of laws. from supre court justice amy coney barrett, the attorney for arizona republicans explained part of the reason why they want to keep the laws on the books is pure politics. >> puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to democrats. politics is a zero-sum game. and every extra vote they get through unlawful interpretations of seconds two hurts us. >> reporter: that zero-sum game appears to be part of what's driving the voting rights debate. in washington, democrats controlling the house are pushing through a plan that they say would expand voting rights and establish new national standards for automatic voter
7:16 am
registration and how elections are conducted. >> we can deliver the gold standard of reforms to protect the right of americans to vote. >> reporter: republicans say it goes too far. >> under the constitution, we generally defer to states and counties to run elections. democrats want to change that. >> reporter: but in more than 40 states, republicans are the ones trying to change election laws with more than 250 proposals that critics say would curb at least some voter access. in georgia, there are proposals to limit access to absentee ballots, add i.d. requirements, and restrict the number of weekend early voting days. republicans say the changes address unsubstantiated concerns about alleged widespread election fraud. >> the integrity of the an election is just as important as access to an election. >> reporter: democrats say they would disenfranchise minority voters. >> you are choosing to support a bill that is so egregious that it is nationally
7:17 am
>> the bill called for the people act will sail through but it's likely dead in the senate, where it would require republican support to clear filibuster. we will see what happens. meanwhile, over at the white house joe biden pulled his nomination for budget chief, neera tanden. the white house will find something for her to do instead that does not require senate confirmation. >> mean tweets, given the former president, is interesting. joe biden cannot be accused of rushing this nomination. he stuck with it quite a long time. how come? >> few reasons. one, they wanted to keep tanden in place because she represents history. she would have been the first
7:18 am
indian american to hold that job. one of the women they're trying to get nominated to senior posts. the other is they were under the belief to get at least one republican vote given one democrat said they weren't interested in confirming her but ultimately the horse trading going on, they confirmed it wouldn't happen. moral of the story, tony, watch your tweets. >> that's what i was going to say, ed. well put. thank you very much. up ahead -- the closely watched vote to unionize amazon employees in alaba
7:19 am
7:20 am
ahead, should travelers have to prove they've had a covid shot? we'll show you how israelis can use vaccine passports to go to restaurants, concerts, and gyms, and why there's some serious concerns about this. plus, tom brady tells james corden when he was thinking when he passed the super bowl trophy to a teammate.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." hundreds of thousands of amazon employees are watching one of the most significant unionization drives in a generation. workers at an amazon warehouse near birmingham, alabama, are voting on whether to join a retail workers union. their colleagues around the country are fuses to hear their
7:31 am
complaints and frustrations. michael foster's a union organizer, and early this morning we found him outside the amazon warehouse at shift change where he's campaigned for votes since last october. >> treating the people disrespectful. they basically are telling the people if you don't want to abide by the way we work, you can find another job. >> reporter: according to the union, roughly 85% of the workers at this massive warehouse are black. most are women. many complain about grueling work, unsafe conditions, with inadequate bathroom and meal breaks. >> we're being treated like we're prisoners who's there to get a job done. >> reporter: jennifer bates and darryl richard both work at the warehouse. what's your biggest frustration? >> job security, respect, and safe -- your safety, well-being.
7:32 am
>> the community don't realize is what's going on behind the curtain. what are the people there going through just to make sure that we get our packages. >> it's time to make a stand. it's time for some changes. >> reporter: frustrated workers contacted the retail, wholesale, and department store union. celebrities like danny glover support them. >> martin luther king said the best anti-poverty program he knew was the union. and that still remains so more than 60 years after he made that statement. >> reporter: and this week, president biden weighed in. >> every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union. >> reporter: but they are amazon, and this is alabama. the e-commerce behemoth is fighting the union drive in this right-to-work state. in a statement the company told us if the union vote passes it will impact everyone at the site and it's important associates understand what that means for them and their day-to-day life working at amazon. amazon worker dawn hogueue will vote no. >> i have yet to personally
7:33 am
encounter anyone that is pro union. i do not see a point in paying somebody to do something i'm fully capable to do for myself, and that being advocating. >> reporter: but the union believes these workers need a voice, and they'll deliver the votes despite long odds. >> if you put enough heart in anything that you do, you can do anything. >> reporter: even in alabama? >> even in alabama. we have not been able to organize in alabama as we wish but whichever side wins, the loser could challenge the outcome. tony? >> all right. thank you very much. very consequential vote. i understand not undersanding why you're paying somebody and what are they going to go do for you. you know what they'll do when they're there. >> i don't know the right

>> reporter: good morning, gayle. well, supporters say it would help lift lockdowns in cities like london. you get a shot. you get a digital pass on your phone and then you can enter pubs. and critics warn over privacy and more pitfalls. israelis must now scan in to get in. to gyms, hotels, even concerts like this.
7:40 am
>> it is all saved in the telephone. it's very convenient. >> reporter: for more than 3 million israelis and counting, this is the ticket back to some kind of normalcy. >> all the way in the car i sing "back to life" ♪ back to realty ♪ >> reporter: government-issued green pass shows personal details and proves they've had two doses of a covid-19 vaccine. now countries across europe and beyond are considering similar so-called vaccine passports or immunity certificates to inject life back into a flagging tourism industry and revive businesses and hospitality like pubs. the uk is studying whether to introduce vaccine certificates raising the possibility that brits could soon need a passport for a pint. >> yep. all good. >> we haven't had stuff like this before. we've never thought in terms of having something that you have
7:41 am
to show to go to a pub or a theater. and so there are deep and complex issues that we need to explore. >> reporter: issues like potential discrimination against people who don't want a shot, along with those who can't get one for medical reasons or because there's not enough supply. social life, in economic life, in the same way as their counterparts who have been vaccinated. >> reporter: clare wenham from the london school of economics says data privacy is another concern. >> is it going to be something that's digital, that attracts you? and that obviously opens a whole different range of conversations about, you know, security of your data, for example. >> reporter: so governments shouldn't rush it? >> governments shouldn't rush it. i think it's a pandora's box. and i not it's a slippery slope into having life being govern bide your health status. >> reporter: but as governments debate certificates, businesses

are pushing ahead. some cruises and airlines, for instance, say they'll require proof of inoculation to board. so while these passes are raising tricky ethical questions, you may need one the the virus is not yet clear. tony? >> all right. roxana saberi in london for us. thank you very much. >> i love this idea. >> i love it, too. not everything is a slippery slope. sometimes you're taking one step forward and that's all. >> we get tracked digitally all the time now for all sorts of things. i have no problem with this. >> i also find the honor system doesn't work here. it doesn't. and normally if you don't get a vaccine it doesn't affect me or you. it normally just affects you alone. now whether you get the vaccine could affect a lot of people. >> everybody in the room. >> if you have a medical condition that prevents you from getting evacuation natal, an allergy, i'm sure that can be marked on your pass poird. all right. >> no one's asked us, but we

♪ it's wednesday, march 3rd, 2021, hump day. wake up, everybody. welcome back to "krr"cbs this morning."" president biden says the vaccine rollout t is accelerating how we're getting g there withth governmentnt help andnd a priva sesector team m of rivals.s. > covid economic relief on massive scale could soon be coming if it can get through congress. jpmorgan chase ceo jamie dimon will talk about that, and a new way to help minority-owned businesses. plus, the new film "judas and the black messiah."
8:01 am
what fred hampton has to say about racism today. it's a good conversation. but first here's today's eye opener at 8:00. president biden now says we have enough doses for every adult in america by the end of may. >> texas is one of at least 11 states that are now easing restrictions despite federal guidelines. >> in columbus they got 300 doses yesterday and they said let's do a trial run right away. >> three, two, one, vaccinate. >> lower courts said these two laws disproportionately affect voters of color. the hearing about them revealed one of the reasons why democrats and republicans keep fighting over these kind of laws. dr. seuss enterprises announced six of its books will no longer be published because they contain racist and insensitive imagery. >> if you find your bookshelf got less duller, consider these books from people of color. there are a range of books that
8:02 am
will make you feel merry. like this one, "hair love" by cherry. there is so many stories. books written after the '40s. >> i like that. we know "hair love." >> we do. and we love it, yeah. >> it's a great idea. >> teddy won't read "the cat in the hat." he just throws it. get it out of the bed. "all the places you'll go," though, he likes that. all right. we begin hopeful news. president biden says there should be enough covid vaccine doses to inoculate every american adult by the end of may, two months sooner than expected. a big part of the reason is a new partnership between johnson & johnson and merck. the federal government is investing $105 million to upgrade merck facilities to produce the johnson & johnson sin single-shot vaccine. the white house is saying this partnership will lead to 100 million doses by the end of may. >> this is a wartime effort, and
8:03 am
every action has been on the table, including putting together breakthrough approaches. this is a type of collaboration between companies we saw in world war ii. >> as early as today, the senate could begin debating a democratic stimulus plan that would send $1,400 checks to millions of americans. majority leader chuck scherum says they do have the votes to pass the bill. nearly 90% of small businesses say that sales are still below what they were before the pandemic. that's according to the federal reserve. more asian, black and hispanic voters say their companies finances are poor or fair, comparing them to white owners. jpmorgan chase pledged $350 million to help run small businesses owned by minority owners. it's part of the $30 billion commitment to address the racial divide in this country. jamie dimon is the chairman and ceo of jpmorgan chase and joins us to discuss.
8:04 am
good to see you. i love the numbers, very impressive. $350 million. $30 billion. now, $40 million for your entrepreneurs of color fund. first, start us off by telling us why this initiative is important to you personally. >> yeah. so, gayle, welcome. thrilled to be here. you know, look, we saw covid. we saw the murder of george floyd. we've had racial inequality in this country and this highlighted it for 100 years. i think it is time for all of us to double down and try to help the rest of the community. small business, black entrepreneurs, latin x entrepreneurs, asian entrepreneurs, they need a little more help and little more consulting. so we learned a lot as we try to help businesses in detroit as i remember talking to you once. we helped 100 small businesses grow. this effort you are talking about today is taking that to chicago, l.a., south bronx, all around the country. >> expanding it.
8:05 am
exactly how does it work? >> well, we go to a local community. we work with local people like within detroit and we make available capital. sometimes it is a grant and sometimes it is a loan, but to a small business. like in detroit, there were restaurants. there was a lady who started a gym. they wanted to expand. there was a contractor who wanted to expand that had a government contract but they needed the capital to finance it. if you want to do business with the government you have to show you have the wherewithal. we went in and got them the help they need. it certainly was a loan and it helped them expand. they hire locally, so it helps the community twice. they expand as a business, and they hire locally. >> jaime, i wanted to ask you about the banking business, which is not known for its diversity. what are you doing at jp morgan chase to ensure diversity in the company? >> we have been working in diversity for a long time. in fact, we have doubled down,
8:06 am
too. black eds and mds in the company are 50% the last few years. hiring, training, recruiting. half of my direct reports are women. we had a woman running my management committee who left to run another company. we're doing everything we can to help the black community. >> you were part of a group of business leaders that met with president biden, vice president harris, and treasury secretary yellen recently. did you talk about the democrats' $1.9 trillion stimulus bill? how do you feel about it? is it enough, too much? >> yeah. so we did. first of all, i was grateful the president and the vice president had us in. there were four ceos in the room. we actually covered a lot of ground from that bill to immigration to taxation to -- and i love the fact you brought american competitiveness. we need to make sure america is competitive for the next hundred years, not just through covid.
8:07 am
i'll leave the bill itself. we need more help for those that really need it, unemployed, mothers who had to leave the workforce to go home and take care of family members or children. small businesses who really need the help to get through this. i will leave the details for democrats and republicans to debate. there is a lot of stimulus to get us through. thank god we have this vaccine. i'm hoping when we get to june and the flowers are coming out and people are getting their shots, that we can get back to a normal life. te stimulus will lead, in my view, to a very, very strong economy late this year and into next year. maybe even into 2023. >> you have a reputation of playing nicely with others. do you find a difference in working with this administration compared to the last administration? >> gayle, my job is to do the best i can for my company, my country. i'm a patriot. i will work with any president to do the best i can for america. it is always good when politicians speak to each other. my friend and your friend, vernon jordan, boy, was one of
8:08 am
the great human beings of all time. what did we learn from him? talk to other people. >> yup. >> treat them with respect. you know, get into the details, you know? try to get everyone advancing in society. >> i like what you just said about being a patriot. there was rumors on the streets that you were thinking about running for president in 2020. does president jamie dimon have a ring to you down the road? >> i -- >> i -- i -- i -- what's the answer, jamie dimon? >> i'm not going to run for president. >> well, that's emphatic. jamie dimon, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, jamie dimon. ahead pulitzer prize winning author talking about his family's harrowing escape from

8:17 am
you can be thankful but also critical. >> this country's always been marked by conflicts and controversies and debates about who we are and what our principles are. and if americans, white americans, can do this without being told to go home or leave, then why can't the newcomers? >> reporter: "the committed" sends his protagonist to paris where he becomes immersed in a world of drugs and organized crime. >> in "the committed" i say look at france, they have ideals and failed, too. i don't think there's any shame in that. >> reporter: in this sequel he's determined to present a more complete version of the refugee story, writing in the opening lines, "society views refugees as the unwanted, the unneeded, and the unseen." you refuse to call yourself an immigrant. you're a refugee. the unwanted, as you put it. >> in my work i try to stress these people, they may be desperate and fightened and scared and so on, but they're also really heroic. a lot of the people who took to
8:18 am
these seas then and now know that their odds of survival are really, really bad. that to me is bravery and heroism, and that needs to be acknowledged in our stories and in our capacity to call ourselves with pride refugees. >> reporter: his own life story reflects the promise and pain of america. like some 130,000 other refugees, his family fled vietnam wheny had was just 4 -- when he was just 4 years old. his earliest members are of the refugee camp in pennsylvania where they ended up. they weren't always welcomed. >> just probably take jobs away from people that need jobs around here. >> in order to leave, we had to have american sponsors, but there wasn't an american sponsor willing to take all four of us. so one sponsor took my parents, one took my 10-year-old brother, one took 4-year-old me. of course, we were all deeply grateful for these american sponsors, but when you're 4 years old, you don't understand that. what i remembered was just the feeling of abandonment of being taken away. >> reporter: he was reunited with his parents after a few months and later relocated to san jose where they opened a
8:19 am
vietnamese grocery store. it sounds like the american dream, but it came at a cost. >> the painful contradiction is to express their love, they worked like crazy which means they have no time to spend with their children. and so there's this huge emotional distance that grows. >> reporter: nguyen retreated into books, creating worlds on the page and winning his first literary prize in elementary school. he didn't tell his parents. >> they didn't have the time to take me to the library to get my prize. >> reporter: you didn't tell your parents that you won the macarthur fellowship or the pulitzer prize? >> on social media i might say, i won this and this, but i don't tell my parents because why? i don't expect my parents to read my books. they already gave up enough for me. i don't need them to give up time to read my books. >> reporter: he credits his parents for his work ethic and his persistence. he was discouraged from studying vietnamese american literature in college, and his first novel was initially rejected by 13 publishers. >> i think i was lucky in a way that i was not successful as a
8:20 am
writer early. i think if i had somehow won the pulitzer at 25 or 30, i might have been really messed up. but i -- i actually suffered as a writer for like more than 20 years. >> reporter: he says despite his success, he's still fighting the same battles -- pushing the country to reckon with representation and collective memory. where are we now in terms of you see us as a country and what are your hopes for america? >> when i look at american history, i think that we always make two steps forward and one step back. you know, something like a 1,900% increase in new york in anti-asian violence during the pandemic. this was happening a century ago. i'm in los angeles, 1871, 17 chinese men and boys were lynched in downtown los angeles. so my feeling about the country is as always suspended perpetually on the possibility of hope and taking many steps forward and then being pulled back. >> reporter: the "new yorker" is calling you the conscience of
8:21 am
american literature. does that even seem valley? >> no -- seem real? >> no. no, no, no, it doesn't seem real. i'm fulfilling the duty that anybody owes to this country. the impetus for me to do these things is not to hear myself talk. the itch us it is to try to change the circumstances so that there will be more people with the opportunity to speak. we don't just need one person to speak, we need a lot of people to speak. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," jan crawford, washington. >> wow. >> one of those pieces you go, wow. i remember the first piece with did with him. >> so strong. >> i could just listen to him. i think we could all learn a lot listening to what he has to say. >> so important to hear this perspective. i started reading his book, "the committed," it is really powerful. really strong. >> i hope his parents were watching and found out he won the pulitzer prize -- >> such a cute little boy. i loved the pictures and then see him as an adult. very smart. interesting. thank you, jan. staying in the book world,

the new rules, i got 'em, dua lipa. welcome back, it's time to bring some of the stories we call "talk of the table." and tony is in pole position. >> all right. i'm very excited to talk about what would happen if you gave people $500 a month with no strings attached. it's an idea known as the guaranteed basic income. and you might assume, hey, that's free money, people are going to waste it, they're going to work less, they're going to be lazy. but stockton, california, has actually tested this idea. since 2019, 125 residents there have been getting $500 per month on a special debit card, and here are the results -- out just this morning. people did not waste the money.
8:31 am
in fact, they used it for necessities. less than 1% went to alcohol or tobacco. number two, people actually worked more when they were getting this money. full employment increased by 12% points, and unemployment fell by 4% points. and you may not be surprised to learn people were less anxious, less depressed, and less fatigued overall. this has the potential to radically change the way we think of social assistance. >> i'm a little surprised. >> yeah. i it came in handy because he helped save a man's life in a real emergency situation. there you are, newark liberty international airport, dr. oz stepped up in new jersey after a 61-year-old man collapsed right there at the baggage claim
8:32 am
carousel. we've all been to the carousel. dr. oz spoke about the incident to tmz. >> his wife was standing next to him, still processing what was going on. there was no pulse. and so the first thing you do when there's no pulse is you give the patient a pulse by doing cpr. it shows the power of cpr if you've got the tools. the ability to do cpr and to keep someone's airway open so it breathes for them, that's basics that you can learn in a very short course, and you will then be empowered for the rest of your life to save lives. >> you go, dr. oz. he helped clear the man's air passage while an officer pressed on the man's chest. other officers arrived with the defibrillators and got the man to breathe again. the man had indeed suffered a heart attack. he was stabilized and taken to the hospital. if you're going to pass out, it's nice to have a doctor, certainly dr. oz there, who can spring into action and save his life. >> we saw him with the emmy there. deserves more than an emmy for this. >> he does. i've got a feel-good story about the pandemic. there aren't a lot of those.
8:33 am
a florida nurse got to do something special. she gave a covid vaccine shot to board of health her beloved grandmothers who helped raise her when she was young. megan patterson is a nurse in st. petersburg. she's been working in her hospital's covid unit since the pandemic hit last march. in january, patterson gave her grandma, susan patterson, the moderna vaccine after waiting in line with her at the hospital. then a few weeks later, she gave her nana a shot because she happened to be working in the covid clinic at that time. patterson said the vaccinations were not staged or planned, and she felt like vaccinating her grandmothers was meant to be. both grandma and nana have since received their second doses of the vaccine. another element i love of this story -- bayfront health in st. petersburg where she works is also where she was born. >> nice. >> wow. >> it's really come full circle. >> lovely. all right. we are very excited about our next two guests. >> yes, we are. >> sure are. actor daniel kaluuya who starred in hits like "get out" and
8:34 am
"black panther," just won his first golden globe award for the film "judas and the black messiah." in the movie he plays fred hampton who was chairman of the illinois chapter of the black panther party. here's a look at the real fred hampton and kaluuya's portrayal of him. >> you can't jail the revolution -- >> you can murder a revolution abut you can't murder revolution. you can murder -- [ cheers ] [ chants ] >> revolution! >> revolution! >> revolution! >> revolution! >> the film highlights how an fbi informant, william o'neil, infiltrated the black panther party to gather information on hampton before he was killed in 1969. hampton died during a police raid at his home when he was just 21 years old. shaka king directed, produced, and co-wrote the movie.
8:35 am
he joins us now with daniel kaluuya. good morning to you both. thank you both for being here. we really, really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> good morning. >> daniel, first of all, congratulations on the golden globe. that had to be -- even though you couldn't -- we couldn't hear you, that must have a great moment. >> it was a agreement moment. it was a agreement moment. so happy. >> you said -- daniel, you say that this -- this wasn't just a physical assassination that fred hampton suffered, but a cultural assassination that went with it. what do you hope to change or help people know with this film? >> i just hope to tell the truth. it's like the truth of the matter is that what they were doing, they were in the communities with the medical clinic helping kids, educating kids, feeding kids. and with the rainbow coalition, they did incredible work. fred is the fort leader of a lot of incredible strategies here in society today. >> shaka, i'm a child of the '60s.
8:36 am
so i'm pretty amazed that we've reached a point -- i know it's 60 years later, that we have a movie about fred hampton, and there's also a second movie, "trial of chicago century" features hampton as a supporting character. how hard was it for you to get the this film made? >> you know, every film has its challenges, you know. it took us about four years, and you know, it was difficult to find a studio to partner with us. but ultimately we found warner bros., and you know, i couldn't have really envisioned a better partner, quite frankly. >> daniel, i heard you say that you gave everything in this role. and when i saw it, i tell you, i watched it yesterday, i signed up for hbo max just so i could watch the movie. i heard you say that you gave everything in this role and that you felt free. how did you decompress after? because it's so intense and so emotional. you were knockout in it. you're knockout. >> thank you so much. i think i'm still decompressing.
8:37 am
during the press run, you're remind good little things that you were doing during the process. so i think it took a while that last year, like the pandemic was actually a good thing for me. the first time i sat down for like five, six years. i had to kind. reassess where my insights were. >> shaka, the thing that imp impressed me or struck me, i should say, is that i had heard of fred hamphampton, i knew hue he died. i didn't know he was 21. i didn't know his life story. i started googling. there's a line in the movie where the fbi agent trying to flip the -- the fbi, william o'neil, which he ultimately did, he said, listen, the black panther party and the ku klux klan are basically the same thing. i sat there watching that and went, huh? is this part of the story you're trying to tell? that people really know what the black panther party represented? because people think of it as a militant organization. certainly there's aspects to that, but there's so much more to the black panther party. >> yeah. absolutely.
8:38 am
i think, you know, one of the reasons that we wrote that line was just -- you hear those comparisons even made today, you know, when they compare, for example, the capitol rioters to members of black lives matter. you look at the way that those individuals at the capitol who -- how they are not going to face the prosecution that a protester who set a trash can on fire is getting eight years in ferguson. that's the reason we put the line in there to kind of -- the struggle is parallel to today in a lot of ways. >> it's important. i'm curious about your preparation. >> yeah. >> for the role. number one, the speaking style is very distinct. you have some very emotional, passionate speeches. how did you prepare for that? >> my amazing dialect coach, audrey, just diligently did a lot of work and working with shaka. shaka helped me and guided me along. i sat down with an opera singing
8:39 am
coach because i felt fred sonically occupied the space like an opera singer. it was great to engage ply diaphragm and condition my vocal cord for 12-hours days which is tough. and studied cadence because he had a different cadence when he spoke. so it was a lot of work that went into it. >> you worked with fred hampton's family throughout writing and the filming stages of this. are they happy with the outcome? >> they are. you know, it took a while for us to kind of find those points of interest, but ultimately they -- the fact they still talk to me -- >> yes. >> that's usually a good sign. >> that's a positive sign. >> you didn't know every day what it was going to end up. >> that's the best endorsement you could get. daniel, i do want to go back to the golden globes. you're the first one out the box. i didn't know if you were on mute or if they had you on mute. but i'm so glad that they worked it out. what were you thinking in that moment? >> when i was on mute?
8:40 am
>> yeah. >> i was like -- they put me on mute. but it was -- they were moving on, congratulations -- i'm watching like, what? didn't give me a chance. i didn't put myself on mute. i didn't put myself off mute. it was their responsibility. i don't know. it wasn't -- it was a miscommunication. >> i'm glad -- >> i felt just so blessed that more people are going to watch this film. >> yes. >> to understand fred, to understand the black panther party, to understand what they did in that time. >> that is definitely going to happen. oscar nominations are coming up. i can't wait, gentlemen. i can't wait. >> i got a note from my son from college who said, "dad, you got to watch this film." he was right. shaka king and daniel kaluuya, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. ahead and first on "cbs this morning," we'll talk to the author of a new book on raising boys in the wake of me too. why she says
8:41 am
8:42 am
8:43 am
8:44 am
a new book explores the challenges of modern boyhood and argues our approach to raising boys has failed, and the time now is to change it. "to raise a boy: classrooms, locker rooms, bedrooms, and the hidden struggles of american boyhood" is published by atri aan imprint of simon & schuster.
8:45 am
author and "washington post" reporter emma brown says that in the wake of the me too movement she wanted to know how will i raise my son to be different. she joins us now for an interview you're seeing first on "cbs this morning." emma, good morning to you. so we talk a lot on this show about what men do to each other, to women. but we don't spend much time thinking about why men are the way they are. and this book does that. it comes along at exactly the right time. i was hoping you could begin by just telling viewers what it was you thought was missing from your parental toolkit when you looked down at your son, gus, and thought, how am i going to do this? >> well, thank you. you know, when my daughter was born three years before my son, i had such strong gut instincts about how i wanted to parent her to resist the messages that -- aimed at girls from the time that they're born. i realized i had none of those gut instincts for my son because i have never been a boy. and you know, i had never really
8:46 am
even grappled with the ideas that boys face pressures or stresses in the way that girls do. this book was a chance to explore that. >> yeah. it's interesting that -- you think that certain things are innately different between boys and girls, but to a large extent, they come out the same and then it's things that we teach them that make them different. and actually, i'll give a good example from my household this week. my son, teddy's, favorite book currently is called "boys dance." by the american ballet theater. it's about boys doing ballet. but as your book points out and as we know, at a certain point he will start school and will get this message that certain things, maybe even ballet, is girlie and not for him. what are parents supposed top do to stop that process? >> yeah. i mean, i think shame is a really corrosive force. and boys get shamed for doing anything that is seen to be girlie. and that is one of the ingredients that i think is, you know, adds up to pretty poor
8:47 am
outcomes for men in america. both in terms of physical and mental health. so many boys told me that they were told by their parents never to cry because they're boys. when we tell boys to shut off the parts of themselves that are human, that is, you know, that's -- that's how we end up with men who die by suicide at four times the rate of women, shorter lives for men. boys struggle, and we need to help them. as you say, parents need help from the institutions that help raise our sons, including schools, sports teams, faith communities. absolutely. >> help boys become a complete person, as you argue. consent is obviously a big issue. parents know that you've got to teach the difference between yes and no. but it's more complicated. you have a phrase in the book that no is not always spelleded n-o. explain that. >> absolutely. you know, a boy -- a young man i
8:48 am
met, a college man told me the way we talk about consent gets translated to boys that no means no and that teaches us we need to get her to say yes. get the girl we're with to say yes. and that is exactly what you're talking about. you know, girls -- girls and boys express themselves verbally and nonverbally. and so if we're not careful, the way that we talk about consent can just teach boys to -- to ignore some of the nonverbal signs that they get that are very -- that can be very clear, and instead just sort of look for a way to coerce or pressure. so we've got to find a new way to talk about what consent is. and it's about listening, listening to the person you're with and respecting what you hear from them, whether you hear that verbally or nonverbally. >> part of the reason i endorse the book for parents even though it's not a parenting book is because it helped you up come with an idea for how you wanted
8:49 am
to raise your son. for your daughter you were telling her strong and fearless. for your son you came up with strong and gentle. i love that. >> uh-huh. >> yeah. you know, i feel like it gives him access to the best parts of what we've traditionally think of as feminine and the best parts of what we have traditionally thought of as masculine. and he should have access to the best of both of those worlds. >> all right. if you're a parent and you're anxious about raising a boy in this world, this book will take your temperature down. i endorse it. emma brown, thank you so much. appreciate it.
