days. >> i brought my tennis shoes today. i have been walking in my boots. >> it's on. >> those boots aren't made for ♪ good morning to you our viewers in the west. welcome to "cbs this morning." it's thursday, march 4th, 2021. i'm gayle king with anthony mason, that is tony dokoupil. capitol hill is on high alert after security officials warn of new extremist threats today like what we saw on january 6th. plus a man called the qanon shaman speaks to 60 minutes, why he says he marched on the capitol. a compromise on covid economic relief means financial help for tens of millions of americans could soon be on the way. how these changes affect who gets stimulus checks. new york governor andrew cuomo says he will not resign over allegations of sexual harassment.
7:01 am
why critics say he shouldn't get a pass. >> and prince harry and meghan markle's rift with buckingham palace suddenly escalates ahead of oprah winfrey's exclusive interview on cbs. the new allegations the couple calls a calculated smear campaign. >> boy, it's getting nasty. but first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we've taken immediate steps to let the national guard know what to expect. the threats are through the roof. >> reporter: capitol hill is on high alert as the fbi and department of homeland security are warning of potential plots to carry out another attack. >> reporter: president biden had harsh words for states that are dropping covid-19 restrictions. >> the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking that everything's fine, take off your mask, forget it. >> reporter: the house has passed a george floyd justice in policing act. the legislation bans choke holds and qualified immunity. >> reporter: governor andrew cuomo addresses sexual harassment allegations saying he will not resign.
7:02 am
>> i never touched anyone inappropriately. >> reporter: 38 people have been killed in myanmar in what's been the worst day of violence since protests began. all that -- >> meghan markle pushing back against bullying claims. >> now buckingham palace is taking the rare step to investigate the allegations. and all that matters -- >> reporter: a japanese billionaire is searching for eight people to join him on an all-expenses-paid trip to the moon. >> completely paid for by the billionaire. so that guy is definitely hunting these people on the moon, right? on "cbs this morning." >> anyone who has smoked 100 cigarettes in north carolina will be next in line for a vaccine. >> that's my batch of cigarettes -- my aunt chippy smokes that in a day. >> in wisconsin you have to chug 100 gallons of milk. in detroit you have to eat 100 cars. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive --
7:03 am
making it easy to bundle insurance. >> what do they say, smoke them if you got them in north carolina -- >> that seemed like a low gar. >> that qualification seems random. i'm thinking of jimmy kimmile's aunt chippy. in america, where smoking happens. we'll begin with this, on capitol hill a state of alert due to new threats of violence. extra security has been added. and today house lawmakers chose not to meet in person. why? as a precaution because today, march 4th, is an important date for pro-trump extremists because it was once america's actual inauguration day. some believe that the former president will retake office later today. this week the fbi warned january's violent attack which killed one police officer and injured dozens more was unlikely to be an isolated incident. kris van cleave is along the security perimeter outside the capitol for us this morning. good morning to you, what's it like where you are? >> reporter: well, good morning,
7:04 am
security is once again ramping up outside the capitol. in fact, staff have been encouraged to work from home if they can. and the capitol police have moved to an all hands on deck footing for at least the next few days. the nation's capitol on high alert after an intelligence bulletin warned a group of militia violent extremists discussed plans to take control of the u.s. capitol and remove democratic lawmakers on or about march 4th. >> we do have some concerning intelligence. that intelligence is law enforcement sensitive. we've taken immediate steps to let the national guard, as well as our work force, know what to expect. >> reporter: acting capitol police chief yogananda pittman briefed lawmakers yesterday. >> we know that the threats are through the roof. >> reporter: facebook confirms it is monitoring efforts to attempt or coordinate actions tied to a qanon conspiracy theory that former president trump will rise to power today. these latest threats come as
7:05 am
confusion continues over the timeline of the january 6th attack. major general william walker, the commander of the d.c. national guard, told senators he received a frantic call at 1:49 p.m. that day from then-capitol police chief steven sund. >> chief sund, his voice cracking with emotion, indicated that there was a dire emergency at the capitol, and he requested the immediate assistance of as many available national guardsmen that i could muster. >> reporter: he said it took more than three hours to get the defense department to approve sending troops to the capitol. >> seconds mattered, minutes mattered. >> reporter: walker blamed the unprecedented and slow response on the pentagon. >> the army senior leaders did not think that it looked good, it would be a good optic. they further stated that it could incite the crowd. >> reporter: he was asked if the same consideration had been made last summer when the guard was also called to respond to black lives matter protests. >> it was never discussed the week of june.
7:06 am
it was never discussed july 4th when we were supporting the city. it was never discussed august 28th when we supported the city. >> reporter: this intelligence confusion appears to be continuing past the 6th. earlier this week, the house sergeant-at-arms sent an email saying it appeared the threats aimed at today were on the decline. less than 24 hours later, new alerts saying those threats are back. anthony? >> kris, thank you. cbs news senior national cuter -- security analyst fran townsend joins us now. she served with george w. bush. good morning. we just heard the acting capitol police chief say that the threats are through the roof. these appear to be prompted by a baseless conspiracy theory. what -- how concerned should we be by this? >> anthony, let's recall just last week, earlier in week actually, the fbi director, chris wray, said they have 2,000 open domestic terrorism cases.
7:07 am
remember, if the fbi is saying that, they have all sorts of tools at their disposal. informants and cooperators, wiretaps. and so it's entirely possible that one of those investigations produced the intelligence that's been passed on to the capitol police. >> as we heard kris van cleave say, there are conflicting messages among law enforcement agencies, fran. what does that tell you? >> well, not unusual, anthony, right. everybody -- it's the blind man looking at the elephant. everybody feels a different piece and sees a different thing. i have to say, though, we have to take the threats -- given what happened on january 6th, there's no not taking the threats seriously. >> yeah. you mentioned the fbi director christopher wray mentioning how many cases there were out there. how do we effectively combat violent terrorism within the united states, especially with the prevalence now on social media?
7:08 am
>> so look, as chris' package said, facebook and others are monitoring this. they're trying to cooperate with law enforcement to the extent that they can without interfering with free speech. so the companies, corporate america, is in a difficult position here. but i think they're doing their best to try and identify these threats. it's -- look, it's a much more difficult problem than confronting foreign terrorists, right. americans understandably have constitutional protection, and so the fbi has to have a predicate in order to look at activity here in the u.s. that's the right thing to do. but of course it makes investigating all the more onerous. >> all right. fran townsend, thank you very much. in our next half hour, we'll hear from one of the most recognizable people charged in that deadly capitol attack in his first interview from jail. the so-called qanon shaman, jacob chansley, tells "60 minutes plus" about what he did and what he says prompted him. despite the security threat, there is a flurry of activity on capitol hill today.
7:09 am
the senate could soon debate a new covid economic relief bill after president biden agreed to a compromise that limits who will be eligible for those stimulus checks. in the house, the democrats have passed a landmark new voting rights bill. nancy cordes and ed o'keefe are all over the story. we'll start with nancy on covid relief which is really what a lot of people are wondering about right now. nancy, good morning to you. what did the president agree to? >> reporter: gayle, the horse trading is over. the president and senate democrats agreed to keep the $1,400 in place. the number of people who could receive them has been pared back slightly. who gets the checks? individuals making up to $75,000 a year or less would get the full amount. then smaller checks would start to go to people making up to $80,000 a year. married couples who make up to $150,000 will get $2,800 for a couple, and then $1,400 additional for each child.
7:10 am
smaller checks would then go to couples making up to a combined $160,000. all this means that about nine million households that got stimulus checks last year will not get them this time around. we're still talking about roughly 150 million households in this country that will get a check, and it will be a little bigger than it was the last time. the senate is expected to hold its first procedural vote on all this today. but republicans are still arguing they think this package is too big, it's not targeted enough, and they are vowing to draw the process out as long as they can. >> got it. thank you very much. now let's turn to ed o'keefe on the new voting rights bill. good morning to you, ed. here's a question for you. what would this measure do, and why now? >> reporter: yeah. good morning, gayle. it could become the most significant overhaul of u.s. elections and government ethics in a generation. the for the people act requires states to offer same-day voter registration and would automatically register all
7:11 am
eligible voters. it also limits states' abilities to purge voter rolls and would restore voting rights to felons who have completed their sentences. democrats say the reforms would expand voting access to marginalized groups, especially minorities, and establish a national standard. republicans say it gives too much power to the federal government to manage what are supposed to be state-run elections. the fate of this legislation isn't likely to be good in the senate where the current filibuster rules require at least ten republican votes and all 50 democrats to pass it. but it's part of house speaker pelosi's strategy to pass big democratic party priorities like police reform as they did last night and gun control bill as they will soon. with narrower margins in the senate, it will put more pressure on majority leader chuck schumer to consider scrapping or at least modifying the senate's filibuster rules. gayle? >> all right. ed o'keefe, thank you. >> meanwhile the u.s. trails most developed countries in voter participation. >> that's true. >> the big picture. new york governor andrew cuomo says he won't resign over sexual harassment claims by three women.
7:12 am
he did apologize for making anyone feel uncomfortable. it was his first public appearance since the allegations surfaced. the governor promised to cooperate with the state attorney general's investigation into all of this. and our national correspondent, jericka duncan, is in albany, new york, with reaction from cuomo's fellow democrats. it's a bipartisan issue at this point. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. there are some democrats within cuomo's party that want him to step aside. but most leaders within his party are saying the same as cuomo -- wait until the investigation has been completed. >> i ask the people of this state to wait for the facts from the attorney general's report before forming an opinion. >> reporter: that seems to be exactly what most democratic party leaders in new york are doing, including the state's senators. >> i think overwhelmingly there's a sense that we should be fair about this.
7:13 am
>> reporter: new york state democratic chair jay jacobs says a lot will depend on the outcome of the investigation. >> we don't want to look back in the distant future and think that maybe we rushed this. >> reporter: since the first allegations of sexual harassment came to light, the calls for the governor's resignation have grown. some 20 democrats are now calling for him to step down. but with leadership taking a wait-and-see approach, the governor is holding on. >> i'm not going to resign. >> reporter: though in his first public appearance since the allegations, he did apologize. >> i now understand that i acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. it was unintentional, and i truly and deeply apologize for it. i am embarrassed by it. >> he doesn't get a pass. >> reporter: debra katz represents former aide charlotte
7:14 am
bennett who claims the governor asked about her sex life. >> that's inappropriate. it derailed her career. >> reporter: katz also slammed the picture of this wirt with anna ruch who said cuomo tried to kiss her. >> i never touched anyone inappropriately. you can go find hundreds of pictures of me kissing people, men, women, it is my usual and customary way of greeting. >> that picture is exhibit a that he did the very thing that today he denied in a press conference. this is far more significant than the governor's embarrassed. he engaged in unlawful sexual harassment. and he needs to acknowledge that. >> reporter: meanwhile here in albany, lawmakers are working to strip the governor of his covid emergency powers. what does that mean? essentially the governor would have to consult with the legislature before making any pandemic-related decisions. >> jericka, thank you.
7:15 am
the governors of texas and mississippi face harsh criticism and some praise for ending their statewide mask requirements. president biden said yesterday the governors are making a big mistake. >> the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking that in the meantime everything's fine, take off your mask, forget it. fine,e off your mask, forget it. it still matters. >> janet shamlian is in texas where many people are happy to take their masks off now that the worst-ever outbreaks are over. >> reporter: the end of covid restrictions for some texas business owners is cause for celebration. >> there's going to be people that wear masks. most are not. i felt like this is where we should have been all along. >> reporter: others say they're not ready to drop masks and social distancing. like lenny ambrose -- >> we are going to follow the cdc guidelines. we feel that it is best, and that's the best way to keep our operation running smoothly.
7:16 am
>> reporter: texas governor abbott says falling hospitalizations and increased vaccinations mean state mandate are no longer needed and it's up to individuals and businesses to behave responsibly. but is it too soon? when abbott implemented a mask mandate last summer, the state averaged about 6,000 new cases a day. while cases have fallen since the winter peak, average new daily cases are still above 4,000. much too high warns infectious disease expert dr. jill weatherhead. >> these variants are here in texas. they have been documented in multiple areas of the state including here in houston. >> reporter: while many welcome the return to normal, some business owners say it's an impossible situation. >> it's easy for governor abbott to say everyone should open because he's not the one who's physically at risk. >> reporter: michael neff co-owns houston's cottonmouth club. he closed it last june believing it wasn't safe to be open. he says other bartenders were attacked for enforcing mask wearing during the statewide
7:17 am
mandate. >> you know, we are very used to making people do what they don't want to do. you have to have an i.d., you can't drive drunk. this particular issue without a mandate from the government makes it seem to people as an optional thing. and something they want to argue about. the state itself could give us the cover to say, look, it's not me, it's them. >> reporter: are you saying this decision by the governor will put employees of bars, away next week. tony? >> all right. thank you very much. there's a new round of protests this morning in myanmar one day after what was a bloody confrontation following a military coup there. the u.n. says at least 38 people, 38 people were killed yesterday alone, and video shows pro-democracy demonstrators taking cover as security forces opened fire leaving protesters lying in the streets.
7:18 am
all of this followed the arrest of hundreds of people who want their elected leader returned to power in this country once known as burma. the state department says it is appalled by the violence and wants china to help restore civilian government. ahead, congress takes up a sweeping police reform bill named for george floyd. see the changes the democrats propose in response to a killing that prompted nationwid

7:31 am
right now the gloves are off. >> i think you could probably only describe that relationship now between the two sides as all-out war. >> reporter: yesterday the london times reported allegations that after meghan markle married prince harry in 2018 and moved into the royal household, she bullied staff using, quote emotional cruelty and manipulation and forced two aides to quit. but in a rare move, the palace has issued a public response. >> we are clearly very concerned about allegations in the times, it says. our hr team will look into the circumstances outlined in the article. >> reporter: sunday times royal
7:32 am
correspondent. >> why would the palace have not just kept silent? >> i think the feeling is it can't be right for the duke and duchess of sussex to sit down with oprah and say this and to not have people who worked with them, who know them, and who dealt with them also say their piece. >> reporter: meghan and harry called it a calculated smear campaign and a low point with harry's relationship with the palace and also the british media, something he discussed with james corden on the "late late show" last week. . >> we all know what the british press can't be like. it was destroying my mental health. this is toxic. >> yeah. >> so i did what any husband and father would do. i need to get my family out of here. >> reporter: now, this whole unseemly fight erupted at a bad
7:33 am
time for the royal family. they are worried about prince philip, the queen's husband. he will be 100 years old this year. he's been in hospital. he had a minor procedure for a pre-existing heart condition. but he's going to stay in hospital at least for a few more days. and at that age, of course it's a worry, gayle. >> it certainly is. let's talk about that for just a second. can you tell us anything about the status of his condition, the duke of edinboro and how he's doing? >> reporter: we know he was moved from a hospital about two days ago to this very specialized heart cardiac unit. and we have a little update this morning from camilla, who said that he may have turned the corner and was feeling a little better. so although it's very serious, indeed, there's a little light this morning. >> anything is serious when you're 99.

we certainly hope he'll be okay. i am curious about this apparent attack a meghan. in the united states says it seems very suspicious that they would now talk about meghan being a bully or mean girl right before the oprah interview. >> reporter: there's a lot of comment on the timing, which looks more than coincidental. te palace is in a rough position. because on the one hand, it's emerged that when the original allegation surfaced in 2018, they didn't investigate. so now they are saying we take the issue seriously, we are going to look into it. just by doing that, they are sort of lending weight to the allegations themselves, which could up besmirching meghan's reputation. it is garnering a lot of attention and all eyes on cbs and oprah on sunday. >> i'll be sitting there with a bowl of popcorn. it will be very interesting to

that it was acceptable. >> do you still believe you're a patriot? >> i consider myself a lover of my country. i consider myself a believer in the constitution. i consider myself a believer in truth and ofounding principles. i consider myself a believer in god. >> laurie segall is a "60 minutes plus" correspondent and founder of dot, dot, dot media. good morning. we should add while he was protecting those muffins he also had a flag pole with a spear point at the end that prosecutors say was a weapon and wrote a note to mike pence that said justice is coming. what surprised you the most? the. >> yeah. what was interesting, especially at the end of the interview, he was shout, "se see see me, see m prison. this is one of most seen men in america on a day that was sta
7:42 am
stain on democracy. he sent saying i'm not violent. i'm peaceful, i'm a shaman. then you put those images, what you were just talking about, you put those images together, and that isn't an image of, you know, of peace. this is the new face of extremism in america. so you have to pay attention to it. >> yeah. you have to pay attention. it's hardly letter from birmingham jail, but it is relevant for the following reason -- like many others that day, jacob said he was there because he thought former president trump, quote, had his back. let's listen to that part of the interview. >> what was it about donald trump that you felt so fiercely loyal to? that you hung on every word and you interpreted his words in certain ways? >> i developed a lot of sympathy for donald trump because it seemed like the media was picking on himment it seemed like the establishment was going after him unnecessarily or unfairly. and i had been a victim of that all of my life. whether it be at school or at
7:43 am
happily. so in many ways i identified with a lot of the negative things that he was going through. and i honestly believed and still believe that he cares about the constitution, that he cares about the american people. and that's also why, you know, it wounded me so deeply and why it disappointed me so greatly that i and others did not get a pardon. >> do you regret that fierce loyalty? >> i regret entering that building. i regret entering that building with every fiber. my being. >> but you don't regret the loyalty to donald trump. >> no. >> interesting. so he's not loyal to the president today? >> no, he said, you know, behind bars, he says he still is loyal to donald trump. i think what's so fascinating to me is he is holding so tightly on to those beliefs that put him in jail. you know, he believed that donald trump had his back. he said to me over and over
7:44 am
again. you know, he still is behind bars. talking to him, you still hear some of these conspiracy theories. he doesn't believe that the election was won correctly. he believes that it was fraudulent which, of course, it was not. you know, and you begin to really understand the depth of the conspiracies, you know, that happened, that this man showed up on january 6th. so it's interesting to try to understand how we got to this point. inthink it's important to understand -- i think it's important to understand how we got to this point. >> i agree. i not the outfit can make you smile, but the situation itself is very serious. it's important that we understand why it happened. and this is part of that. thank you so much. culture watch the full story -- you can watch the full story and premiere of "60 minutes-plus" streaming now on the new viacomcbs streaming service, merimount plus. next,

time for "what to watch" with mr. duthiers. you've got a very talkable story of your own coming up later in the show. we'll starting off with something serious today. >> we are indeed. here are stories we think you'll be talking about this including this -- house lawmakers passed a sweeping police reform bill named in honor of george floyd whose death in police custody last spring led to nationwide protest. the bill would outlaw choke hold and some no-knock warrants, it also prohibits racial and religious profiling by police. attorneys for the family say this is a major step forward to reform the relationship between police officers and communities of color. the bill, though, is unlikely to pass in the senate. it will need support from at least ten republicans to break a filibuster. we know that senator cory booker and senator tim scott are talking, tim scott says he's trying to find a path forward that both sides can agree that. so there is some hope.
7:50 am
but it's going to be a tough -- >> only one republican slvogt i the house. that congressman said he accidentally pressed the wrong button and changed -- >> true. >> you need ten. >> by mistake. >> you need ten in the senate. it's going to be difficult. >> i'm wondering how anyone supports choke hold based on all that we've seen. i don't know why that's an issue. >> the argument is by restricting the police the ability to do their jobs, that's what the other side will say. >> yeah. i know. >> you don't want to -- >> i wonder how it would turn out if it was a straight up and down vote on choke holds. >> exactly. >> maybe that's what senator scott and senator booker are -- they say they're working together to find a path forward. hopefully. we'll see what happens. >> there are other methods to doing your job. >> you're right. >> go ahead, vlad duthiers. let's talk about this -- spacex's latest rocket prototype went out in a blaze of glory. the starship rocket, sm10, it landed successful oh its
7:51 am
launchpad, but -- >> whoa -- >> yes, it exploded -- >> that's a big but. >> was that supposed to happen? >> the cool video of it landing is incredible. look at this. it doesn't look real. but it is. >> yeah. so -- things have gone so well up to this point that a spacex engineer declared victory during a live stream of the victory before that huge fireball. elon musk plans to use these rockets to send people to the moon and to mars. they're designed to be fully reusable, making them affordable for space travel. >> hey, look -- >> might have more work to do. >> well it's true in television, it's true in rocketry, when you bomb, you learn something. >> that is true. he says they'll be using them regularly by 2023. i might wait a little while. >> i am all for the age of exploration, but i haven't been to the grand canyon yet. i'm going to do that first. >> that's what i like about elon musk, though. it doesn't go the way he plans, he keeps going. >> keeps going, that's right. >> then he gets it right. >> exactly. long-lost high school

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring you some of the stories that we call "talk of the table" this morning. and anthony is up first. >> yeah. i did something very exciting yesterday. >> you're glowing. >> yeah. i got my first dose of the vaccine. >> yay. >> bravo. >> my first shot of the pfizer vaccine at mt. sinai hospital here in new york city. the folks there were amazing. so patient, so helpful. they're vaccinating hundreds of people going through there. as you can see, i wore my best t-shirt. yes, it was -- because it was comfortable and aspirational. the newport folk festival t-shirt. the newport folk festival, when i put it on instagram they put
8:31 am
it on their page saying represent, let's all get vaccinated so we can get back to the fort. the festival is held at fort adams. >> did you cry? did it hurt? the. >> no, i didn't. i thought i was going to be emotional, and i wasn't. but then i walked home through central park. and i had -- i felt completely different. but at the same time, i was still, you know, wearing my mask, steering clear of people. i thought, oh, the psychology of this will let go very slowly. you know? but i also felt -- i felt very optimistic. we got -- i got hundreds of comments on instagram from people who were either about to get their shot or have just gotten it who are so relieved. >> it does feel like light at the end of the tunnel. the "new york times" has done a good piece that said if you get the opportunity to get it -- some people are waiting, i want this over this -- if you get the opportunity to get it, please do so because the faster everybody gets vaccinated the faster we can get back to normal. >> and everybody ask good side effects. only one side effect -- an alarming increase in peace of
8:32 am
mind. that's it. >> i'll take that. i'll take that. that's a good side effect. >> very good sign. all right. i'm going to let viewers in on a little secret. i think gayle and anthony know this -- i'm wearing make-up right now. >> what? >> i'm wearing make-up as we speak. >> be proud, tony dokoupil. >> i'm not the only one. more men are buying make-up. so back in 2018, already more than half the male population reported that they sometimes used facial cosmetics like foundation concealer or bb cream. they've done it at least once in their life. the pandemic has accelerated this trend. according to google searches for men's make-up, that's jumped 80% according to the marketing firm mose. men are paying attention how they look, and that means big money for different companies. i think this is a really positive development. i don't think the question should be should men wear make-up, i think the question should be do men want to wear make make-up? if the answer's yes, go for it. >> there's not a thing wrong
8:33 am
with it. i think it's good you put it out there. a japanese billionaire is my story. he's looking for eight people to join him on the first civilian mission to the moon. he's an entrepreneur, his name is yaosuku mazuwati. all you need do is apply. you don't need a scientific background. he want passengers whose creative work will benefit from going to space. at first, though, he wanted to recruit artists, but now he's loosened the requirements. in his words -- "if you see yourself as an artist, then are you an artist." the mission is scheduled for 2023, will fly on spacex's starship spacecraft. so far they've ended in explosions, but they're going to work that out. >> the one we saw -- >> they'll work it out. >> no one the application's expanded. >> no charge -- >> they'll work it out. we showed it earlier -- the registration deadline is march 14th. that's ten days from now. let's talk about the entrepreneur here. >> you'll get plenty -- get his
8:34 am
name right and all the time you spent on the moon together -- >> myazawa, worth $3.6 million. he put an ad and is looking for a life partner. he says he wants a life partner with a future who could shout our love and world peace from space. he's a dropout college -- dropped out of college to be a drummer in a hard-core punk rock band. i'm thinking, i used to think that i was attracted to tall men of color. maybe i'm attracted to japanese billionaires who are shorter than me. maybe that's what it is. >> but would you go -- >> doing the wrong thing -- >> are you going toon that assassination. >> -- on that mission? >> no. no, no, no, i would be a delightful partner to somebody. >> the mission before. >> that's not a good thing. >> recall, applications are still open if you consider yourself an artist. >> march 14th. you've got time. as you may have heard it's a big dale here at viacomcbs. we are launching paramount-plus.

it's a platform that features original programming, including a new season of a wildly popular show that's going to make some of us feel very old. mtv's "the real world homecoming new york" brings together the original seven housemates from the series and their first season was 29 years ago. the show is credited with pioneering the reality tv genre, and our vlad duthiers got the opportunity to reminisce with two of the original cast members and to revisit some of the show's groundbreaking and controversial moments. feeling old, vlad? good morning again. >> just a state of mind, my friend. just a state of mind. good morning. this is the cast now. and if the picture seems familiar, here's why -- look at them in the exact same poses from 29 years ago. reality tv is everywhere now, but at the time the show was nearly unprecedented as americans tuned in to see what happened when as the show's tag line went -- people stopped being polite and start getting
8:36 am
real. >> this is the true story -- >> of seven strangers -- >> reporter: in 1992, mtv executives took a gamble on a new type of show. >> what? >> when people stop being polite -- >> reporter: part soap opera, part documentary. >> "the real world." >> when i walked through the doors, i saw a new world. just walk around. >> this is where we live? >> reporter: seven young adults from different backgrounds moved into a new york city loft for three months with mtv cameras rolling. >> i don't know what's going to happen the next three months. i just hope -- i hope everyone gets along. >> reporter: heather b. gardner at the time a rapper with the rising music career -- ♪ joined the cast of what became tv's first reality show. >> there was no blueprint. i think they captured seven 20-year-olds trying to figure it out. >> they're absolute pigs. my roommates are pigs. >> if you make something and you eat, just put the dish in the
8:37 am
dishwasher. >> i walk in and half the people have sunglasses on. so i -- i was thinking to myself, okay, people don't want to look each other in the eyes now. >> reporter: kevin powell was one of the seven. >> let's see what happens. this experiment. i had no idea it was going to become a phenomenon and change the course of american tv history. who knew? >> i admired the black race. i really do. >> reporter: "the real world" became a phenomenon. partly because of the uncomfortable, unscripted conversations it captured between kevin and his roommates. >> black people are predominant over white in all schools. >> first of all you start with a stereotype. you're superior in sports and entertainment. that's what a lot of people think that's all black people can do. i'm not an athlete, i'm not a singer -- i'm a writer. have you met a black right before? >> the conversations about race which turned into arguments about race and racism. those things actually happened. >> that's one of the problems -- >> get off of the black/white thing. i'm sick of it. >> >> were they heated? yep. were they passionate?
8:38 am
yep. were we committed to where we were at, absolutely. so many people of races and backgrounds have said i never heard conversations about race and racism like that in my life. >> reporter: groundbreaking and controversial, the seasons that followed tackled other sensitive topics head on. >> i've made a decision that i'm going to terminate the pregnancy. >> reporter: like abortion and aids. >> you have to understand aids is part of my life. >> reporter: three seasons in, cast member pedro zamora became the first person openly living with hiv/aids to be featured on reality television. but zamora lost his fight with the disease. he died just hours after the season finale aired. >> i thought that was probably one of the most powerful moments in tv. the fact that he would do it because he wanted to bring awareness to this dreadful disease. i think it's probably one of the most significant moments in the history of reality tv, period. >> pedro became a member of all of our families. now no one in america can say
8:39 am
they've never known someone who's living with aids. >> this says something about the importance of "the real world" because we captured things that happened that shaped this country. for that i'm very proud of being a part of the show. >> what is being totally committed mean to you -- >> reporter: after 32 seasons on cable tv, "the real world's" biggest legacy is what followed in its wake. ♪ the countless other reality shows and a share-everything culture. >> get out of the way! >> how did it change everything? think about tiktok, social media, instagram live, facebook live. i think of our season of "real world." people opening up, exposing themselves, sharing their lives. that started with us. it's deep, but it did start with us. >> i can't believe we're in the same place. >> it still smells the same. it still looks the same. okay, we are officially re-roommated. >> reporter: kevin, heather, and the rest of the original cast are poised to finish what they started almost three decades
8:40 am
ago. in january they reunited for a week at the same new york city loft. >> not many people are forced to look at themselves. we had to go back and look at episodes from 1992. >> it wasn't comfortable at times. >> minus 29 years off your life and think about the person you were back then, how you at that and what you said. and as an adult now, you have to sit and hear it. not only see yourself but hear it. >> think about if americans, us, all of us were able to go back in our lives and like, you know, did you ever say or do something, you know, that you need to, you know, process here, how have you evolved from then to now? what have you done? most of us don't get to look back. >> indeed. we don't get to look back. it turns out not all seven cast members were able to reunite in the new york city loft. eric, who went on to host a dance show on mtv, had to join the homecoming virtually. "the real world" producers mastered the art of a tease. as it turns out, 29 years later,
8:41 am
that's still the case. you'll have to tune in to find out exactly why. >> wow. i love what theyste said about looking at yourself 29 years ago. i'm not sure any of us want to do that. >> they all talked about evolving. >> yeah. >> a lot of the attitudes -- they were 21, 22 years old. some of the things that they were doing and saying, they're not those same people now. all of them. >> it's a special show in part because they were saying those things on television without social media commenting in realtime. and i think it probably altered the freeness of the conversation in a way that was positive. i mean, it really was the "real world" those first few seasons. >> and those archetype that's they invented essentially. the inenuse from the midwest or south who's never been to the big city. kevin acknowledges he was the first angry black man on television even though the things that he was talking about back then have become the norm now. the ideals that he was living -- >> he seemed to be very real and honest, very aptly titled "the
8:42 am
real world." >> that show was not scripted. >> not at all. >> unlike some shows now. >> did not appear to be scripted at all. >> the idea of what you're talking about, anthony, the conversations they were having happened in realtime. the dishes -- you don't ever see people talking about dishes on, you know, "survivor" or "the bachelor." >> one point that was not real. when i moved to new york ten years later, my apartment did not look like their loft. i had cockroaches crawling on my legs and can feel it now when i think about it. >> some things are not real. >> those days are over. your cockroach days are over. >> this is new york. the cockroach days are never over. >> i saw a rat yesterday. thank you so much. vlad's conversation continues on today's "cbs this morning" podcast. that rat office my deck, by the way. you can watch "the real world home coming new york" on the new viacom krx streaming service paramount paramount-plus. ahead in "a more perfect union," we'll meet a cardiologist who is balancing her work with a krekd
