7:08 am
>> i agree with you. >> kevin, as you pointed out, the grammys did not shy away from social issues. including in some very dramatic production numbers. what were you hearing from artists there? >> reporter: that everybody loved the fact that these performances reflected the time. it took me back to 2016 and kendrick lamar's amazing performance with "all right." i thought killer mike and l'il baby were right on point with their performance of "the bigger picture." it was front and where with all the social issues of the year, and the grammys reflected that. >> thank you so much. it was quite a night. >> it was. in other news, we turn to the growing crisis at the u.s./mexico border where the number of migrant children in border patrol custody has soared. cbs news has learned 4,200 unaccompanied kids are now being held, most longer than they should be legally speaking. the biden administration has ordered fema to help with the surge, and a group of republican lawmakers is headed to the
7:09 am
white house. and lisha zhang is there now. >> good morning. they are providing immediate relief to the children including food, water and basic medical care, including setting up more shelters. as you mentioned by law, the kids are supposed to be transferred out of the short-term holding facilities within 72 hours. but lawyers for some of them tell cbs newspapers they were held up to seven days, are hungry and never saw the sun. these images from a few days ago show young migrants at the southern border, due in part to covid restrictions, thousands are being held in short-term facilities, including to government records reviewed by cbs news.
7:10 am
democrats blame the trump administration. >> what we are seeing today is the consequence of four years of dismantling every system in place to address this with humanity and compassion. >> reporter: but after plummeting in 2020, the number of migrant children in u.s. custody has surged since january. >> it's the biden open border policies that are inviting even more illegal immigration. >> reporter: president biden's coordinator for the southern border seemed to acknowledge a change in the white house may have had an impact. >> surges tend to respond to hope. and there was a significant hope for a more humane policy after four years of, you know, pent-up demand. >> reporter: craig fugate was the administrator of fema in the obama administration. in 2014 he helped manage a similar surge of unaccompanied minors. is there anything more they could have done to be better prepared to handle the surge? >> it was going to be one of the
7:11 am
challenges we knew early on, the numbers, what does the intel look like. so i think that's part of the reason why fema was asked to step in is to help speed this process up, allow the agencies to get caught up with the children, and then build the system that would then be a move a system. >> back in 2014 then vice president sent a firm message for migrants not to come here. the u.s. said that is the message now. however, a delegation led by the homeland security secretary visited the border and briefed the president. >> ouija, thank you. the biden administration's chief medical adviser dr. anthony fauci is warning its too early to doe claeclare victory coronavirus. >> going for the touchdown,
7:12 am
don't spike the ball on the 5 yard line. wait until you get in the end zone. >> more than 69 million americans have been vaccinated so far, about 27% of the adult population. a new cbs news poll finds a third of americans say they will not get vaccinated. that's more than democrats and independents. the polls show vaccine he's tennessee is about the same regardless of race with nearly a quarter of white, black and latino respondents saying they won't get the shot. our lead national correspondent david begnaud shows us how black residents are behind getting the vaccine. david, you went to baton rouge, louisiana? >> yes, let me set the scene for you. it's half and half in baton rouge, 50% white, 50% black. in the white community, 56% vaccinated but in the black community, only 26%. so we went to baton rouge and met one woman, who they say is doing the lord's work to try to
7:13 am
change that. you seem kind of impatient when you get to the doors to talk to these people? >> yeah, i feel the urgency. it's every heartbeat. t today i can see you and tomorrow you may not be here. how are you doing? >> reporter: carla brown is a registered nurse on a crew side. going door to door across north baton rouge. to register people for the coronavirus vaccine. coronaviru. >> i want you to sign here. >> reporter: by day she is a hospice nurse. and if you're wondering why this is so personal for her -- >> i brought the covid home to my family which was my husband, the love of my life, david. my dad, who is 90 years old, my brother that is 67. >> reporter: they were all hospitalized except for carla. her husband david died due to complexions from the virus. he -- complications from the virus. he was 67. >> all i can do now is save somebody else. >> reporter: that's how you became a crusader. >> oh, god, yes.
7:14 am
>> reporter: and carla will tell you even heararder than signing people subpoena finding shots for them. the north baton rouge community is severely underserved lot. there have been popups at predominantly black churches. there are only four permanent vaccination sites here in north baton rouge, and sharon westin broom is trying to change that. >> our health district and our clinics and hospitals, many of them are in the southern quarter of the parish where many of our white constituents live. we've got to close that health disparity gap. >> reporter: the vaccine is needed at places like this -- super save pharmacy. it serves hundreds of people who are at high risk for covid complications. but it had not yet requested or gotten vaccines from the state to start giving to people. so we went there with nurse brown to speak with the owner. miss carl, what would you like to ask him? >> how can you help me to get the vaccine i need? if you get the vaccine, what i'm
7:15 am
willing to do is bring the registration, verify their insurance, their i.d. for you. we just need somebody to supply us with the vaccine. >> reporter: given what you just heard from this lady, what does that make you want to do? >> well, i'm -- i've done a total 180. we're going to start getting the vaccine. we'll start signing people up. >> reporter: miss carla, i think you just found another crusader. >> she's an angel. she's an angel in disguise. >> reporter: what's your reaction? >> i'm just so relieved. >> what a moment right there. we were not expecting that. the pharmacy is an anchor in that area of north baton rouge, which is predominantly black. if you can get vaccines to them, it will be a game changer. let me tell you what happened, mayor broom came with us to the pharmacy, wanted to meet carla and said i will help you. they will put carla on their task force, assign carla extra
7:16 am
people to help canvassing and authorize the pharmacy to get them vaccines as soon as possible. gayle? >> borderlawn pharmacy and, listen, carla brown, that was quite a moment. she knows firsthand the urgency. that was something, david, thank you. president biden weighs in for the first time on the scandal surrounding new york governor andrew cuomo, who faces multiple allegations of sexual harassment. many democrats say cuomo should resign now. our national correspondent tirico duncan is following this story. >> reporter: stepping off marine one, the president said democrats should wait and see.h cuomo should resign? >> i think the investigation is under way, and we should see what it brings us. >> reporter: some lawmakers want action now. so far, 18 new york congressional democrats have called for cuomo to resign, including new york senators
7:17 am
chuck schumer and kirstin gillibrand. >> the governor has lost the confidence of his governing partners as well as the people of new york. >> reporter: on friday a seventh woman accused the governor of sexual harassment. in a personal essay, she writes that she didn't think the governor wanted to have sex with her, but that he wanted her to know she was powerless. the former albany reporter says there were multiple occasions where governor cuomo put his hands on her arms, shoulders, the small of her back, and her waist in view of colleagues. on friday, the governor again denied the claims that he inappropriately touched anyone. >> i never harassed anyone. i never abused anyone. i never assaulted anyone. and i never would, right. >> reporter: he's adamant that it is not affecting his ability to govern at a critical time for the state. but according to "the washington post," new york's vaccine czar, larry schwartz, has been phoning local officials in order to gauge their loyalty to the
7:18 am
governor. according to the report, one official believed getting vaccines to his area could suffer if schwartz was not pleased with his response. and the governor's office and schwartz deny that the governor did anythin wrong. schwartz told the "post" that when he made those calls, it was not in his role as a vaccine czar but only as cuomo's friend. tony? >> all right. thank you very much. we want to let people know that protesters filled the streets nationwide yesterday to remember blo breonna taylor on the anniversary of her death. a handful climbed on t who was killed during a botched police raid. three officers involved in the investigation that ended in taylor's death were fired, but none have been charged with her death. one of them, brett hankinson,

7:31 am
>> reporter: we met the anel family last march. just days after gabe lost his job at a company that handles lighting and sound for large in-person events. >> you know, i get it. this has never happened before. this has never happened before. >> it's time to hunker down -- >> reporter: as america went into lockdown -- >> stay home. >> reporter: neither gabe nor for that matter i could imagine how long this pandemic would last. >> can we go a year? >> crazy to ask. >> yeah. >> or how long he'd be struggling to find work. >> i've sent out resumes and spoken with people. but nobody's hiring. no one -- we're not -- my industry's not moving now, so it doesn't matter. >> over the holidays, this career audio technician bams a temporary u.p.s. man. >> you don't want to tell anyone it's demoralizing because it's good work -- >> no disrespect for the people doing that job. >> absolutely not tat all.
7:32 am
the first day felt demoralizing until people i met were in similar streams as me. it felt like you're everybody else. not like -- >> yeah. >> you know? and it was helpful. it really helped. >> but it's clear more help is needed. one out of four small businesses actually closed in 2020, and of those that remain, over 40% of owners believe it will take more than six months to recover. at corporate av where gabe once worked -- how big of a change have you seen year over year pre-pandemic to right now? >> we might be 25% of what we would have been normally in this time. >> reporter: owner joe guilderson says the pandemic has shrunk his live event business into a series of less profitable virtual gatherings. some of which may become permanent. do you think the in-person event business is going to come back like it was? >> i don't think every event will come back to being hundreds of people together.
7:33 am
i think certain events will probably stay on line. >> it means that you can't fully heal from this. >> not quickly. >> that means former employees like mo johnson can't heal quickly either. >> i did have to ask for some extensions here and there. we borrowed from our 401(k). >> in a year without full-time work, it's meant a year without medical coverage. something we first discussed last summer. >> my wife and i actually had a spat today. she said, you know, you should go to the dentist. i'm like, we don't have insurance. >> lately he made another medical compromise -- putting off the purchase of new contact lenses. >> honestly, i do need some more. i've been really washing, cleaning. >> man, that's dangerous, man. >> i know. >> disposable ones -- >> yeah -- >> knock on wood you don't have an infection. it's only thanks to unemployment benefits and federal stimulus money that former full-time employees like mo johnson have been able to keep up with their bills. this is a cushion to make your life a little softer between now and when things pick back up.
7:34 am
>> well, i -- i'm don't call it a cushion. it's hard-earned. i've paid into the system all my life. you know, there is what i pay for. you're not giving me back my money, you're giving me back my investment. >> when we spoke a year ago, gabe's wife feared the federal government wouldn't be there when her family needed the help. >> you're constantly worried about like can i make this payment, can i put my kid, you know -- can i get a doctor. >> even before -- >> even before. >> these days even after unexpected expenses like a damaged fence and broken appliances, she has a different outlook. >> i don't feel as skeptical as i did last year. last year i just felt like, wow, we're going to be on an island, you know. this year i feel like, okay, i think the government is hearing us and trying to get somewhere. >> how important has the covid stimulus been to keeping you guys afloat this year? >> it's the only reason we're afloat. >> one full year into in pandemic, that's pretty much the
7:35 am
goal for families like the anels -- pay the rent or mortgage, make at least the minimum payments on your credit cards. you may only be treading water, but at least you're not going under. >> we're not going to get out of debt at all. but we can just, you know -- >> ride the wave. >> ride the wave for a little white longer. that's the best most of us can hope for. >> we do want to point out some positive developments for the people in our story. both gabe anel and mo johnson have been called in for part-time work at corporate av, the audio company they're part of. and when we were there last week, owner joe guilderson received his very first two phone calls for live events being scheduled for the fall. these were ones that had been canceled in 2020. however, he does predict it will be a slow ramp-up, and it's likely that not everyone will be hired back all at once. he had to lay off more than a dozen people. >> yeah. boy. >> i was moved by gabe's vulnerability. to go from feeling demoralized to feeling grateful. i'm just trying to hold on --
7:36 am
ride the wave. and mo saying, you know, i put money in. that's not a cushion. i put that -- >> not a handout. his investment. his part of the american dream. >> the difference that money has made for people, it's really literally, as you say, it's kept them above water. >> absolutely. >> i like both of them. thank you, tony. >> i like them, too. a reminder, you can always get this morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast. hear today's top stories in less than 20 minutes. coming up, london police clash with female protesters after an officer is accused of abducting and then killing a woman. how the protests highlights the growing anger over violence against women in that country. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that. we'll be right back. thisis is hal. this i is hal's heheart. itit's been brbroken. and put baback togetheher. thisis is hal's relief,, knowowing he's c covered by m medicare frfrom blblue cross b blue shieldl. and with c coverage you can n trust,

8:31 am
groundbreaking. eddie murphy is still proud of the original. when it came to making the sequel, he knew highe had to get right. heads-up, the conversation gets a little salty. >> prepare the royal jet. we are going back to america. >> oh, hell no -- >> you know, this was really my pet project. i really loved it. the original "coming to america" is personal. >> yeah. >> the movie became like there cult movie. so had this affection for the movie. excuse me -- >> hey! it's kunta kinte. >> so when it all came together and the movie was so well received, i was over the moon. >> what delighted you most in the second one? >> what delighted me the most is that the film captured the spirit of the first movie. >> i just discovered that i may have a son here in this land -- >> how much child support you getting? >> the king pays no child
8:32 am
support. >> and you came back? you's a dummy. >> it's funny, it's the visual. it's bigger, more visual. yeah, that's what's most pleasing to me. >> you know, most sequels don't hold up. i mean, this is such a classic. such a cult classic. were you worried about even tackling it again? >> yeah. i don't think like that. >> you don't? okay. >> yeah. >> how do you -- >> don't say sequels -- most movies don't work. success is the exception, not the rule. think, hey, what if this doesn't work? >> then i have to ask this -- what took you so long? >> the script had to be right because i wasn't making it -- i took a break from making movies in like 2011. i was like -- i don't want to make any more [ bleep ] movies. and "coming to america" because i knew they had a group of people, fans of the movie, i wanted to make it right. took four years get it all the
8:33 am
way together. >> did you think you had made crappy movies? did you think that? >> yeah. i've had my share of [ bleep ] crappy movies. >> really? >> oh, yeah. that's why -- >> most people don't say that, though. most people say, you know, you look at the script and you saw something in the script when you made the movie. >> oh, it was -- not in the script. it was probably in how much money they offered me. that they'll give you like the [ bleep ] script and give you -- show you these numbers. and you'd be like, so, is this where i'm supposed to call you? no, that's how much we're going to pay you for the movie. pe [ bleep ] let's go. >> what did you do during that time? >> being a dad. >> when you saying about a dad, i'll say. you have ten children ranging in age from 2 to 31. what is it about being a father that is so important to you? >> it's just the most rewarding experience, you know, i've had as a human being. i said the other day -- if you put your kids first before you make any decision, you never make a bad decision.
8:34 am
>> you should have talked to the children about the [ bleep ] movies you were making. talk to the children before you did that. when you saying about a dad, what does that mean? are you driving kids to school? are you changing diapers? are you cooking dinner? what does that mean? >> no. i don't do any of those things. >> eddie? >> yeah, i'm not -- i can't cook dinner. i mean -- i could cook, but you know, wouldn't be tasty. and i can change a diaper, but i don't think i would do a good job. i think the children deserve better. >> so you're not changing diapers. your kids, do they think you're funny? do they think you're funny at home? >> i'm a funny person. i have -- i'm a naturally funny person. so i would imagine anyone that was around me for any length of time thinks at the very least i'm a funny guy. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. eddie, are you a grandfather, too? >> yes.
8:35 am
i'm a grandpa. i have one little granddaughter named everie. she calls me pop-pop. >> i'm going to hug -- hey, i'm sorry i slept with your man. >> the character of leslie jones was very entertaining. and tracy morgan, it's like you said all the talents of black actors, i want you over here. >> i've come back for my son. >> i don't know where you're from -- >> and louie anderson fits how in the big picture? one and two? >> louie was in the very first movie, the studio was like, we're not doing this, you have to have one of the principal characters has to be a white character -- >> you were told that? >> yeah. the studio was like, you -- we're not making a movie -- you must have a white person in the movie. >> eddie, you know what's funny about that? there have been movies for years with all white people and no one says, you know -- >> unless we have a black person. never happens. >> one more thing about the movie because there was an
8:36 am
actress, bella murphy, in it -- >> yes -- >> what is it like to watch your daughter? >> see them doing something that they -- they're doing well, that they enjoy, every day i was filled up on the set just looking over at baby girl on the set acting with me in scenes. i was filled up every day. >> my robe's not on fleek. >> oh, my god, father, to be on fleek is no mother nature. >> i heard something -- no more. >> i heard something, that you're thinking of returning to standup. i hope that's true. is it? >> yeah. that was the plan. when the pandemic hit -- this last year i would have been in the clubs working, trying to get my act together. >> yeah. >> as soon as it's safe to go back into the world, i'm going to do that again. >> you must miss the people. you must. >> the sound of a live audience laughing -- ♪ [ laughter ] ♪ you hear loud laughter coming off a crowd of people, that's the best thing in the world. there's nothing like that. >> do you still after all this
8:37 am
time still enjoy what you're doing? still? >> yeah. just being me. being eddie, yeah. i enjoy being -- i still enjoy being eddie. >> no one can be eddie like eddie can. i mean, listen, he said that bella murphy had to audition for the role. >> really? >> i said, really, she had to -- he goes,up. if it didn't work -- he did rehearse lines with her. turns out she was actually very good. >> yeah. >> and that when he decided to do it, arsenio was the first person he called to see are you in, to run it by him. it was like a family reunion, high school reunion. >> i bet. how great it must be to do a film with your daughter. >> i know. and that's she's good. she's good. >> it should become a classic story when he got a script and said, is this the number where i'm supposed to call you? no, that's what we're going to pay you. >> he said when you have children and make the decision best for your children -- >> you never make a bad decision. very wise.

oscar nominations are out this morning. there is no shortage of powerful work to celebrate this year despite pandemic challenges. here are the best actor contenders. i think we're starting with best actor. supporting actor, excuse me.
8:42 am
these are the nominees -- >> these came out moments ago. >> literally. just coming out now as we speak. today's nominations also made history. let's bring in jacqueline coley with rotten tomatoes. she's the editor, jacqueline, good morning. welcome. as these are coming -- forgive us, we're working on the fly as these come in. let's talk about best supporting actor, as you see them. any surprises there? what do you make of the category? >> i'm so excited to say that there's a surprise for lakeith standfield. he was not thought to be in the running. folks thought that chadwick boseman would get a double posthumous nomination. but he made it through, and it's a big win for "judas and the black messiah." an all-black producing team behind it. ryan kugler, chaka king and charles king have become the first black producing crew to have a best picture nomination -- >> very competitive category with sacha baron cohen and daniel kalua, as well. >> and he won the golden globe.
8:43 am
he's got at least one under his belt. he's got a couple under his belt actually. let's go on now if we can to best supporting actress. want to see your thoughts on that. glenn close, olivia coleman, what do you think when you look at this category? >> it's actually pretty straightforward on what a lot of folks expected. what's very interesting is glenn close has a dubious honor now of being a razzie and a best -- an oscar nominee for the same role. >> how do you do that? >> if you're glenn close, you can do anything. and now she is yet again an eight-time nominee without a win. so we'll see what happens. >> she was great in that role. i don't know how she got -- how she even got on the razzie list. that's no fair. what's next? >> jacqueline -- >> strange. >> jacqueline, we are getting in best actor. a category a lot of people have been looking out for. you've said that chadwick boseman has this category in the bag. and if we put the nominations up, i think he is one of them.
8:44 am
do we have that confirmed yet? we do -- we do. he has been nominated. the graphic has not been built yet, but he's got the nominations. anthony hopkins, as well. what do you think? >> yeah. >> yeah. this is another one that is pretty straightforward. chadwick boseman has been sort of dominating the critic circuit where we monitor that over at rottentomatoes.com. however, i do want to give a special shout out to riz ahmed. not only can he maybe give a run for his money because he's the next competitive, but he also becomes the first british pakistani to be nominated for best actor which is an incredible achievement. >> jacqueline, we've also just got the nominations for best actress which include viola davis, andra day, frances america do mcdormand -- >> yeah. what's great about andra day is she shocked everyone with her golden globe win for "the united
8:45 am
states versus billie holiday." glad that she did. she joins a special club as she is now two women nominated for the same part because, you know, diana ross was nominated for "lady sings the blues," and now andra is for "the united states versus billie holiday," playing billie holiday. >> this is her first movie role. we know how good viola is, vanessa, francis, and car careymulligan. >> there's a bunch of debuts and a director nominee, maria bartalova -- sorry, english language, she's done previous stuff before this. >> all right. they also announced the nominations for best original score and one of our own here at cbs made the list. john batiste is the band leader, of course, and musical director of "the late show with stephen colbert" and now an oscar nominee for his work on the pixar film "soul." [ applause ] and john, congratulations!
8:46 am
>> or as tracy morgan said, john, sow! sow! yeah. "soul." "soul" it is. congrats. >> thank you. ♪ it's all right ♪ ♪ it's all right ♪ >> nice. nice. >> so john, you know, we didn't see you perform on the grammys last night. but we saw you virtually -- all night long in the commercials. and you're doing a lot of dancing these days. i imagine this makes you dance, too. >> oh, my goodness. i'm about to go dance right now in the middle of the street after this. >> yeah. i love -- to anthony's point, i loved that "lincoln " commercial last night where you danced across the street. it was so well done. let's talk about "soul." it has been such a huge, huge success. did you ever think that it would have this kind of reception when you were working on it? what was your process as you were putting it together?
8:47 am
>> well, everything was so collaborative, the team at pixar really created this environment where we told stories to each other for the first few months. and then over time, you see parts of the film where there's pieces of my story, pieces of dialogue, music, all kind of intertwined. i put a lot of myself into this film. very moving to see the reception around the world. very moving for all of us. >> hey, john, you got this nomination after taking home the golden globe for best original score. were there any preparations you made for that awards ceremony that you will now reproduce in hopes of reproducing a bit of luck here for the oscars? >> well, you know, we've got a little bit of the hoodoo. i'm just -- i'm just very thankful and very grateful, you know. we're just going come into it and celebrate. this is a win beyond what we had even imagined for a movie about jazz, about existential
8:48 am
belonging, and where the soul comes from. i mean, these are really heavy themes. and to see the reception on such a level has been truly humbling. and we're very grateful to the people. >> john, what was your take on the grammys last night? we've been talking about it all morning. one of the things that stuck out, it seemed that the awards went around for inbound. there wasn't one big breakout winner, which i thought was really nice. there seemed to be something for everybody. what was your take on the program, the show, how they did it, the winners? go, john batiste. >> it was -- it was really interesting to see how intimate the show was this year. >> yes. >> in comparison to years past. you know, even the sound of the audience or the lack thereof i thought was really powerful given how everything's culminated to this ceremony. and i also thought that seeing beyonce make history was truly a special moment. to see what she's represented in this last year in particular. and for it to culminate in that way was -- was very powerful.
8:49 am
i thought it was a wonderful thing to see for young girls, in particular young black girls. >> yeah. so you're working on your oscar acceptance speech already, john? >> you know what, i got a little smething prepared. something special. >> thank you for the honesty. >> i'm not going to lie. it's a dream -- it's a dream come true obviously to be nominated. and you know, we've been working on this for our whole lives. so i've had something prepared before this moment has come. and hopefully it will come to fruition and the fullness of the moment. >> yeah. we hope so. can't wait to see what you wear. like tiffany hoaddish said, you ready. >> fingers crossed, thank you. our thanks to jacqueline coley from rotten tomatoes, as well. we'll be right back. stay with us.
