2030. there will be $111 billion for repairing lead pipes and another 100 billion to build new schools and 100 billion more to upgrade the nation's electrical systems and he would pay for this by hiking corporate tax rates from 21% to 28% and changing how multinational companies are taxed. congressional republicans oppose any talk of tax increases and the white house will be reaching out to both sides to get them to talk about this, but with the likely likelihood of bipartisan slim that will be a fight that will take most of the summer. >> especially after the covid relief plan with such a high price tag was a big fight. >> president biden announced new actions to stop violence against asian-americans, what can you tell us about that? >> all of this coming in the wake of the terrible attacks on asian-american across the country. among other things it includes re-launching a white house initiative for asian-americans and pacific islanders, for the

asian-american and pacific islander community. there is a new justice department program to address anti-asian violence and making it easier to report crimes and adding funding for aapi survivors and assault. the biden administration hasn't moved fast enough, aggressively enough to address the concerns of the asapi community. >> ed, thank you. this morning we can show you what life is like for some of the 19,000 minor chilgrant chil custody. for the first time we were aloud inside a border facility center. officials say about 5200 unaccompanied children were being held in those short-term facilities. mireya villarreal toured one of them, a facility in donna, texas. good morning to you. >> good morning, tony. this border patrol facility right here for unaccompanied minors and families with children is way over capacity.

by law they're not supposed to be held for more than three days, but we know on average here in donna, they are being held for five days and in some cases up to two weeks. >> every room is full. every agent is busy and this facility stretched to the max. >> the capacity for this location for covid purposes is 250. we're holding over 4100 subjects in this location alone. >> 3400 of those so-called subjects are unaccompanied children. everyone starts in the intake room with medical screenings. children 14 and over will have fingerprints and photos taken. next, they'll get immigration documents and a court date, but for most, that's when the process stalls. >> while border patrol is already done with the entire processing of these individuals we're not able to turn them over to hhs' custody. hhs does not have the adequate beds to be able to take on all of these kids. >> so they wait in these overcrowded pods. the walls are made of plastic

and the floor is covered in a sea of foil blankets. >> this is the playpen. >> 27 of the youngest unaccompanied migrants sleep, eat and play in a separate room corralled by a plastic baby gate. >> that's the permanent home if these kids until we'raible to turn them over to hhs custody. >> how does that feel to you? >> i'm a father. i don't want to see that. as a border patrol agent, i didn't sign up for this. this is not the right place for these kids. >> and yet the flow continues to grow along the banks of the rio grande. >> one is a 12-year-old and one is a 17-year-old. they're from honduras and they're trying to get to where their mom is at in louisiana, in new orleans. >> many of these children are getting sent to the donna facility where they can wait for days, weeks to get placed in a real shelter. >> 39 kids who have been here for over 15 days. it's just, for whatever reason, they have fallen through the system or through the cracks. >> in a statement to cbs news,

dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas says they're working around the clock to quickly move these unaccompanied minors into a shelter. hhs, health and human services, are trying to quickly open up shelters for these unaccompanied minors and families and both agencies are expected to brief the house later today on this situation. gayle? >> all right, mireya, thank you very much. republican congressman matt gaetz of florida is under federal investigation over a possible sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. "the new york times" was the first to report this investigation. gaetz is best known as a loyal, ardent supporter of former president trump. nicole is on capitol hill. certainly this is not a headline anybody ever wants to read about themselves and the congressman is denying these allegations, isn't he? >> gayle, congressman gaetz calls the story verifiably false and says he did not have a relationship with a 17-year-old

girl. according to "the new york times" federal investigators are looking into whether the florida congressman violated federal sex trafficking laws by allegedly having a sexual relationship with an underaged girl and paying for her to travel with him, a former justice department official confirms to cbs news the probe began at least last summer and former attorney general bill barr was aware of it. no charges have been brought against gates. in a statement he claims no part of the allegations against me for true. they're port of an extortion to get $25 million from his family and smear his name. the doj declined to comment. at least one democratic lawmaker is demanding gaetz be removed from the house judiciary committee which overseas both agencies until the investigation is complete. tony? >> all right. we'll stay on it. nicole, thank you very much. former president donald trump is now being sued by two

police officers in connection with the assault on the capitol. according to court documents two capitol police officers injured during the january 6th violence are demanding at least $75,000 a piece from the former president. the suit uses mr. trump's own words and actions to claim that he incited the attack and then did not do enough to stop it. in legal terms mr. trump is being accused of -- assault and battery. we have understand heard back. eric talley was one of ten killed in a supermarket in boulder. his family gathered to say good-bye. 500 law enforcement vehicles from across the country partis parted in the procession escorting his hearse to a memorial service just outside of boulder. janet shamlian watched the tributes. >> the cars stretched for some

eight miles. a number of first responders on horseback and people gathered on the side of the road in below-freezing temperatures as the community came together to say good-bye to officer eric talley. >> i just feel it is so important to let the family know that we are here, we're supporting them and we care. >> at the church, fellow officers saluted the flag-draped casket, and family photos of the 51-year-old husband and father of seven, were shared. as his life and heroism were honored. >> your father was kind. your father died a hero. there is no doubt because of his bravery, dozens of innocent lives were saved. >> talley was the first officer to arrive at a king super store when a gunman opened fire last week. nine others also died. police say talley was the last to be shot in that rampage. his sergeant recalled talley's commitment. >> eric was the kind of guy wofs

who was so vibrant and enthusiastic on the job. he was the kind of person to give you the shirt off his back even if he had to borrow it from someone else first. eric would give his all and give his all he did. >> many are hoping officer talley's sacrifice will be remembered not by his death, but by how he lived. >> reporter: eric talley's patrol car now parked here outside the boulder police department adorned in flowers and tributes. his family asked not to appear on camera during the service, but they did provide a poem written by his seven children and given to him on christmas in 2019, and it read in part, dad, our unsung hero. you daily risk your life at work to guard and care for the welfare of the needy. oh, our praises could never be enough. sounds like very special children. >> janet, thank you. pretty great kids, but pretty

great dad. >> pretty great dad and family. his son was always known for doing the right thing and he died doing the right hing. >> tough being looking at the family photos. >> he didn't have to be a police officer. he did this late in life. >> i wish them the best. we all do. >> yeah. all right, g. gordon liddy, the g. gordon liddy who became famous for the central role in the watergate scandal died yesterday. the former fbi agent planned the break-in at the democratic national headquarters back in june of 1972 and that break-in led to president richard nixon's resignation and landed liddy in prison for conspiracy, burglary and illegal wiretapping. for the rest of his life including a "60 minutes" interview in 1965, liddy took pride in pride in being the guy that did

not talk. >> you didn't talk for your commander and he wants lid toe ta to talk and tell the truth and you say? >> i say nothing. >> liddy told his story in a best-selling autobiography and then went on to become an actor, a product spokesman, a security consultant and one of the most popular radio talk show hosts in america. g. gordon liddy was 90 years old. his former boss, richard nixon, the late president referred to him as -- i think this is a term of endearment, a little nuts. pfizer has breaking news this morning on its coronavirus vaccine. the drugmaker announced a short time ago that the vaccine works on people as young as age 12. that's according to the early test results on this. pfizer says it tested more than 2,000 volunteers between the ages of 12 to 15 and found none of them got covid. there will be more testing, though, and pfizer plans to ask

the fda for emergency authorization to give the vaccine to those kids who are older before the next school year begins. the vaccine is authorized for patients starting at the age of 16. >> so i think that's good news. >> it is. ahead, more on this pandemic, why hospitals are seeing more

we have much more ahead. today the supreme court takes up a long-running argument over compensation for college athletes. why some players say they feel like the property of the ncaa. you're watching "cbs this morning." my bodody is trulyly powerfu. i i have the p power toto lower my y a1c. because e my body cacan still makeke its own i insulin. and d trulicity y activatess my bodody to releaease it, loweringng my blood d sugar from the f first dose.e. once-w-weekly trululicity resps when my y body needsds it, 24/. trulicicity is foror type 2 d diabetes. it''s not t insulin. itit isn't for peopople with type e 1 diabeteses.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." health officials are very worried about another new coronavirus wave and are asking states do not lift your restrictions so fast. covid cases are rising in at least 27 different states plus washington, d.c. the number of cases in the entire u.s. is up 13% in the last week. meg oliver is in hackensack, new jersey, outside of a hospital that's seen an increase in patients there. meg, this is not good. what happen are you hearing from the ericans are feeling the bru

of this latest surge. it's been two weeks since louis carleglio checked into a connecticut hospital with covid symptoms. the 32-year-old came home tuesday with an oxygen tank and iv marks on his arm, scars from a covid battle that nearly spiralled out of control. how bad did it get? >> it began with a fever that i had for about nine days. and it refused to break. at one point i was on 40 liters of air with 60% oxygen which unknown to me was eerily close to the max you can get for high flow air. the doctor kind of later on told me that i was basically going to be close to intubation. >> reporter: how did it feel leaving the hospital? >> oh, felt great. it was a beautiful day out

today. so i got to breathe in fresh air finally. >> reporter: as cases rise across the state, hospitals are seeing more patients like carleglio according to yale's chief clinical officer, dr. tom balcezak. >> we've seen a 70% reduction in those over the age of 55 being admitted to the hospital, but what that means is we're seeing a lot more 30 and 40-year-olds coming in. just last week we intubated a 21-year-old. that's really unheard of for us. >> reporter: how alarming is that? >> well, it's pretty concerning. i think the message is nobody is completely safe unless you're vaccinated. >> reporter: just 20% of adults over 18 are fully vaccinated. despite that lack of broad protection, states are relaxing rules on masks and gatherings, giving more contagious variants opportunities to spread, says dr. ashish jah. >> our best estimate right now is probably 50% to 70% of all infections in america are from b.1.1.7., the variant from the

uk. the issue is unvaccinated people getting together and given the vari variants, it's still risky. i would avoid. it everybody who wants a vaccine will have had one, and certainly by the time we get into the summer. so my key advice is hold on tight a little bit longer. we're not talking about months. we're talking about a few more weeks. >> reporter: and he's urging his peers not to wait if they're eligible for the vaccine. >> before this happened, i wasn't necessarily rushing to get vaccinated because i always thought, you know, i'm in a group that's 99.8% sure that they're -- i'm not going to die from it. my lung capacity is not exactly back. getting up and walking around ring indoors, and that's where the virus spreads more easily.

tony? >> wow. a 32-year-old young man with oxygen, a 21-year-old intubated. a reminder that this virus is not done with us. thank you very much. >> so important to tell these stories, too. they say the vaccine hesitancy is going down, but there still is a lot out there -- i say look at the science. do the research if you're still on the fence about it. and we are so close, tony. so close. >> all right. ahead, a reminder you can always get the news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast. you'll hear the top stories in less than 20 minutes. coming up, how a case before the supreme court today could change college sports forever. we'll be right back. well, , well, wellll. look at yoyou. you mamastered thehe masterer bath. you u created yoyour own sty. and you u - yes, youou! turned a s sourdough s start. into a s sourdough f finish. soso when you u learn yourr chroninic dry eye e is actuay causeded by reduceced tear p productionn

college athletes often on sports scholarships are not eligible to receive financial compensation, but those same rules do not apply to students on a music or arts scholarship who are allowed to accept outside payments for their work. >> what the ncaa is doing is basically taking away our uniqueness and who we are as people. >> reporter: the ncaa makes roughly $1.1 billion in revenue each year. much of it from television rights. and players like michigan's isaiah livers, want their share. he spoke about it last week. >> i feel like a university or ncaa or conference can make so much money off one name. the guy who's like putting all the work in to get to that point gets nothing out of it. >> reporter: some changes are coming. last year the ncaa board of governors proposed a plan to allow athletes to profit off their own image. it argues it must maintain a distinction between college and professionl sports, something it's hoping to preserve in the

supreme court case. but kessler says this case is about fairness. >> i don't think there's a fan out there who doesn't think it would be okay if the coaches made a few million dollars less and these athletes would get things like graduate school recruiting and attracting top talent. gayle? >> all right. thanks a lot. she makes a good point about it being a slippery slope. i used to think, no, it's college, a college student, let's keep it pure.

but they make so much money. i hear what isaiah's saying, too. i don't know. >> if the art students and the music students can get paid and if you're in the engineering school and your talent yields some fame, you get paid y. shouldn't the athletes get paid? >> i agree the athletes should get paid for their likeness outside of this just like someone on an academic scholarship can have a tutoring business on the side. there's something about the fact that they're students, they're still in college, they're not professionals. and i get the fact that a lot of money is being made off of them -- >> yeah -- >> but they're still in school. >> i know. i used to think that. now i don't know what to think. >> i know. >> they're not professionals, but a lot of professionals are getting real rich around them. >> i know. as isaiah said, we're doing all the work. i don't know. it's complicated. coming up next, you know it's not complicated -- vlad duthiers, as he says his name. he's going to have the stories you'll be talking about later today. we

>> when trial resumes this morning, prosecutors expected to call investigators and then expert witnesses to testify. >> we know one juror is a grandmother who studied child psychology and could understand how witnessing this traumatic event may have changed these young people's lives. >> the idea is to pass one of the most expensive government spendsing plans ever on par with building the interstate highway system and the space program back in the 1960s. >> by law they're not supposed to be held for more than three days but we know on average here in donna they are being held for five days. >> according to "the new york times" federal investigators are looking into whether the florida congressman violated federal sex trafficking laws. >> pfizer is breaking news on its coronavirus vaccine. the drug maker announced that the vaccine works for people as young as age 12. >> this guy spent ages trying to kick a ball into a windmill. this is what success looks like.

[ laughing ] >> somebody is having a good day. >> he was having fun, yeah. >> boys having fun. they like to do that. we have breaking news for you this morning and that's where we'll start. in the fight to the keep young people from getting the coronavirus, pfizer now says its covid vaccine protects children as young as 12 years old and it's safe for them. new research shows there were no covid cases among children between the ages of 12 to 15 who did get the shot. pfizer now plans to ask the fda to authorize emergency use of its vaccine for people 12 and older. now this could be a big, big step in getting more children back in the classrooms this fall. >> sounds like good news. emotions ran high in day two of the derek chauvin murder trial as some of the eyewitnesses who saw chauvin holding down george floyd took the stand to recount their memories from that day. it was the first full day of testimony in this trial. jamie yuccas is outside the

court house in minneapolis for us. jamie, good morning again to you. what can we expect today? >> reporter: good morning, tony. today once prosecutors finish with eyewitnesses, they're expected to move on to investigators and then expert witnesses in an attempt to prove derek chauvin's actions caused george floyd's death. the defense says floyd's drug use and medical conditions are to blame. among those who testified yesterday was an off-duty firefighter who was there during the incident. genevieve hansen said she was frustrated she was not allowed to render aid to floyd and claimed officers never checked for a pulse. she's expected back on the stand today. the woman who took the infamous cell phone video of the incident, darnella frazier, also testified and became emotional recounting how the incident has stayed with her. she did not appear on camera because of her age. >> it's been nights, i've stayed

up apologizing and apologizing to george floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life. >> reporter: the defense countered by trying to portray the witness as an angry and unruly group of bystanders that may have distracted the officers. adriana. >> jamie, thank you so much. it is still so hard to hear those words from that young woman. >> i just keep thinking every time we show that video, we have a warning it could be disturbing. there's no warning for her or the person she was with. they're there witnessing it live. >> it's traumatizing watching the video and we're adults. i can't imagine what it was like for those children. darnella who was 17 at the time, to see that with your own eyes, it stays with you and you can tell it still stays with her. it's heartbreaking. in the wake of prince harry and meghan markle's tell-all interview with oprah winfrey,

nations to end their association with the monarchy. so now many are asking what exactly is the commonwealth? it's made up of dozens of nations, mostly former british colonies including australia and jamaica. now the question is, is it so relevant today? we find out. >> reporter: it was 1947 and elizabeth, still a princess, made a now historic speech from south africa. >> i declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong. >> reporter: the princess' declaration of devotion was in part to what's known as the commonwealth of nations and has come to define her nearly 70-year reign as queen. >> as we celebrate the friendship, spirit of unity and achievements of the commonwealth, we have an

opportunity to reflect on a time like no other. >> reporter: this certainly is a time like no other for the royal family. the monarch's commonwealth address was eclipsed by harry and meghan's explosive interview with oprah which aired just hours later in the u.s. >> several conversations about it. >> there's a conversation with you -- >> with harry. >> -- about how dark your baby is going to be? >> potentially, and what that would mean or look like. >> reporter: that comment sent shock waves throughout the queen's beloved commonwealth, which is made up mainly of countries with large black and brown populations, says professor of commonwealth studies philip murphy. >> the commonwealth is what makes the british monarchy special. so having that genuinely global role in a way that no other monarchy in the world has. and it was very much hoped, i think, that harry and meghan would be an accessible face to the commonwealth for young people.

now that's not going to happen. >> reporter: so what exactly is the commonwealth? it's 54 countries spanning the globe. most are former colonies of the british empire. and for 16 of those nations, the queen continues to be the head of state in a largely symbolic role. but critics from within the commonwealth say that symbolism serves as a modern reminder of britain's cruel colonial past, a past which includes theft on a global scale, the enslavement of millions and the entrenchment of deep racial divisions. harry and meghan's bombshell interview is supercharging the debate about whether commonwealth countries should break away from the crown and become independent republics. >> i think that there is a lot of courage in the fact that meghan markle was able to share her experiences. >> reporter: the leader of one of canada's main opposition parties, the new democrats. >> if something is no longer benefitting us, it doesn't actually help people in their day-to-day lives. what is the point of having that association?

>> reporter: meghan was the first woman of color in the modern royal family and it was hoped she'd usher in an era where the firm, as it's known, would be more inclusive. >> i am here with you as a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of color, and as your sister. >> reporter: that speech on a royal tour of south africa was hailed for meghan's celebration of her own biracial identity while in a majority black commonwealth nation, something no other royal could do, and now just 18 months later isn't likely to again. we reached out to buckingham palace for comment on the calls from within some commonwealth nations to sever ties to the crown but was declined. the queen, however, did respond to harry and meghan's revelations by releasing a statement saying the issues of race are concerning and will be addressed by the family privately. a pledge of private introspection which may not be

enough to silence the increasingly vocal calls to pull apart the commonwealth, an institution the 94-year-old monarch has dedicated her life to holding together. >> people in the commonwealth are really having this discussion. there was a poll conducted in canada, a commonwealth country, after the oprah interview. more than half of people said that they think the monarchy should be abandoned by canada and then 48% said they now see the monarchy as a racist institution. this is right after the interview. >> wow. >> so it's changing the conversation. >> symbolism. >> on many levels. >> many people feel connected to the queen. they grew up in these countries -- >> the queen is beloved. >> absolutely. ahead, how dozens of the nation's most influential black business leaders are fighting against new voting restrictions and demanding action from corporate america. you're watching "cbs this morning." ate ca. re watching "cbs this morning."

as republicans in dozens of states seek new limits on how people vote, 72 black current and former business executives are taking a stand against the sweeping new law in georgia. they put their names on, look at this, a full-page ad in "the new york times" today, page a7, that says corporate america should publicly oppose any discriminatory legislation, and all measures designed to limit americans' ability to vote. but they do not call for an outright boycott of the state. two of those executives join us now to discuss. ursula burns former ceo of xerox, and ken chenault with american express. good morning to you both. there are a lot of heavy hitters on this list including the two of you, including the two of you. i know nobody will not take the calls from either of you. i want to know, ken, if you

could start us off, how did this come about? did you meet to discuss? what upset you, and what do you want corporate america to do? first, how did this come about? >> the way it came about, it came about sunday afternoon. for the past ten days, there has been very heavy email traffic and text traffic on what was happening in georgia and, in fact, what was being proposed in close to 43 states. and what we decided was that we needed to do something that had never been done before, which is african-american executives in corporate america standing up collectively for a social issue. there is nothing more fundamental than voting rights. >> yeah. >> and the reality is what we're doing is we're calling on companies not to make just general statements about the

importance of voting and voter suppression, we're saying take a stand, publicly oppose any legislation. >> but -- >> that denies the opportunity to vote. >> ursula burns, there was no call for a boycott even though other people are calling for boycotts. why was the decision not to go that far? >> i think that the collective voices of the signatories on this letter and the reactions and voices from early adopters will be -- we're hoping will be enough to actually be a motion against this pretty blatant and i would say ignorant act. we're hoping that this step is the step that needs to be taken. i would say not agree broadly that if this continus, if we do not see progress, we'll have to convene again and think about the next steps. >> you know, this summer when there were protests after the death of george floyd, so many companies came out of the

woodwork making statements denouncing injustice, pulling out ads, commercials. in your view, is this your way of urging these companies to not just talk the talk but also walk the walk? >> absolutely. at the end of the day, voting rights is fundamental. and here's my point -- if corporations had taken a stand after brown v. board of education, that would have made an incredible difference. and for americans, voting is a lifeblood of democracy. and so what we're saying to companies is all of the words are nice, but we need you to take action. and action is to publicly oppose discriminatory legislation and any measures designed to hinder

voting -- >> is that enough, just to release a statement to make this proclamation? how will that actually bring about change in your view? how are you hoping it does? >> here's what's important -- corporations have influence. if corporations came out and said relative to the proposed legislation in florida we oppose it, and in fact worked with legislators and emphasized the importance of this, i think we would see some change. and the reality is corporations have been silent on this issue. and that is why we've said action has to be taken. >> have you had any conversation with white corporate leaders about this, ursula? are you concerned about backlash? >> i'm not concerned at all about backlash, and yes, i've had a couple of conversations with white business leaders. i think we've seen one at least come up publicly last night,

jpmorgan came out last night in support of our statement on voting rights and voter suppression. i also want to back up on ken's point. it's really important to understand that this is not complicated, it's not scientific, we're not looking into anything about when life begins, nothing. this is a right that every american has, plain and simple. it's pretty simple to implement, and what we're seeing is states starting with georgia, but others, as well, pushing back in a kind of blatant way. it's surprising just how obvious this is. and we think now that corporate america, black americans for sure, but anyone who has values in their corporation that talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, any company that has a value statement about valuing their employees has to stand with our statement because their employees, black, white,

hispanic, women, literally are going to be affected by this type of suppression. >> well, they've certainly been put on notice. we thank you both. it's a very powerful . good morning. it's 8:25. anyone over san francisco in contra costa is eligible to sign up for coronavirus vaccine. people jumped online to make an appointment yesterday. crashing the website. the county has a goal of a million vaccinations by the end of may. crews are cleaning up highway 238 after a semi crashed and overturned blocking all lanes of traffic overnight. no word on the driver's condition. rides at the santa cruz beach boardwalk will be up and running starting tomorrow. they will be spinning and swinging over the weekend. you will need to reserve a spot

online. and there's brake lights as you work along 680 southbound as you wake your ride into walnut creek. you will see slow and go conditions connecting onto 680. there's a surface street problem due to a crash right through that intersection. taking a look at traffic at the san mateo bridge still a little crowded but only a 14 minute ride between 880 toward 101. in fact most of the bay area bridges are looking pretty good. no major issues on the golden gate bridge and looking at the travel times, still slow on the east shore and 101 out of the south bay. it'll be a warm one for today. plenty of sun. we could tie or break record highs for the day today. many of us into the 80's this afternoon. running about 20 degrees above average for this time of year. looking at 83 in san francisco and the city, oakland at 85 and concord, antioch, 88 degrees in san jose this afternoon. there we go with that extended forecast. we will continue with the warm

...at roross. yes fofor less! welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time to bring you some of the stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. we have a big "talk of the table." one of the -- that drew barrymore is here. >> hello! >> hi, drew. >> hi, guys. >> you're our first real person outside of people that don't already work here in this building. >> i've been waiting since september to be here. i'm so excited. >> it's great to have more company in here. of course, drew is the host and executive producer of "the drew barrymore show," which was just renewed for a second season. >> yay. >> let's start with you. what stories do you have to share today? >> for my "talk of the table," i picked a story that hits a super

sweet no. an ohio woman used her piano skills to calm down a nervous stranger during her covid vaccination appointment last week. take a listen. ♪ so christina ballenger says that she was nervous to get her vaccine, and then she saw this woman on facebook offering to play the piano for people while they got the shot. and she got in touch with the pianist, angie moreland, and requested that she play the song "you'll never walk alone." and angie happily agreed and even rearranging her piano lessons to be there during christina's appointment. it was a very emotional moment for christina who said that her late father used to sing that very song to her. gayle? >> playing, i could hear my dad's voice. it was -- overwhelming.

i'm just -- i'm so grateful for you. >> you're welcome. >> just thank you. >> that was very nice. >> isn't that beautiful? >> yes. >> and angie had seen the cellist yo yo ma play for the covid vaccination -- >> we had that -- >> that's what inspired her to get involved. mine is about covid vaccines, too. great minds think alike, drew barrymore, after your quarantine, people are getting dressed up to get the covid vaccine. and rocking, how should we say, an interesting trend while doing so. comedian -- look at amy schumer. only amy could do this. cut a hole in the sleeve of a sequinned dress to get her vaccine for easy access. that is so amy schumer. earlier this month, dolly parton wore a sweater with cutouts around her shoulders when she got her shot, too. everybody's trying to be fashionable and practical. you got music, you wear the right outfit, and you're all good. >> very stylish. and a celebratory moment. got the sequins on already. >> it is.

have you had yours -- >> i have. >> once you get it, there something psychological that kicks in. it's true. >> i think we are all looking for hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. >> yes. >> and it just kept elongated, and i think a lot of people got frustrated and hopeless, and this is a new era of hope. >> we've had ours, too. >> congratulations. >> part of what i'm looking forward to post pandemic is not working from home anymore. my "talk of the table" is an update on something i mentioned yesterday. drew, i acknowledged ill advisedly i would say that sometimes working from home i will listen to hear if my wife is in the kitchen so that i wait for her to leave so i can go and do what i need do and get back to work. >> isn't that -- >> what i'm trying to do in doing that is to avoid a big-old conversation when you're trying to get something done. well, i can tell you that when i came home after work yesterday -- >> how did that go over? >> we had a big-old conversation. >> caught you. >> she caught me.

her mom was watching. i didn't think she would be watched. tipped her off. she made up the couch -- she posted this, "dead to me," my first indication there was trouble. she made up the couch indicating apparently that that's where i was going to be sleeping last night. i'm pleased to report to all of you that i talked my way off the couch and resided in my bed last night. woke up fresh. >> drew, when he told it yesterday said, she's not watching, so it's okay to share this story. i'm thinking, okay. >> she's always watching. >> yeah. >> a lot of sympathetic viewers, though, reached out to say i -- they also -- they also do what i do. many spouses try to avoid their significant other during the day while they're getting things done. >> did they tweet you publicly or dm you privately? >> one american made that mistake -- one person made that mistake, and i didn't reply. >> all is good with katy tur and tony dokoupil -- >> all is good. >> you're back in the bed. congratulations. >> okay. mine is about a woman in i what who said yes to her wedding dress from 1971.

so carolyn and kelly gaye are in their 70s, they wore their original wedding attire to bri celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. carol fit into her gown that she wore when she was just 20 years old. she planned the wedding redo for the past three years because she wanted to make sure her hair was long enough so it would all match. >> nice. >> the whole thing was a surprise for her husband. now, this is what really kind of is the rub -- she paid $46.35 for her dress. she found the receipts. she also -- >> had the receipts? >> she still had the receipts. sounds like whitney houston when she said, show me the receipts to diane sawyer, that's a whole other thing. for catering 193 people it cost them $63 in 1971. her flowers were $131 in 1971. >> wow. >> anyone who's had a wedding is breaking out in hives right now because these prices, you know, that longing -- just incredible. >> you know what i love, i love that they're still together.

>> yes. >> start with that. and i love the side-by-side picture. almost like she tried to duplicate the expression she did back then. nice. >> she said she wanted to do it because she loved that one photo of her wedding. >> very nice. >> i think this could start a trend. i really do. >> of $100 flowers for weddings? >> i do think that all prices should sort of read the room of where we are economically in the world. but i think that we could start a trend on re-creating people's wedding photos. >> i like that. >> i think that's a beautiful thing. >> maybe that would be a good magazine story. hmm, drew. drew's going to stay with us. she's going to join us at the table. we have to say we're going to swap seats with adriana so we can maintain proper covid protocols because we can't have four people at the table. after the break, we'll talk about the next season of "the

we are back with drew barrymore. she's our first live in-studio guest since the pandemic began. as we mentioned earlier, her daytime show's been renewed for a second season. it is produced by cbs media ventures. drew also announced she's expanding her empire by launching a lifestyle magazine called "drew." we're so glad you're at the table. i have to show this -- this just came to me because i wore this flower in your honor.

when i walked in, jared on camera five, said, oh, drew barrymore flower -- i go, that's why i'm wearing it. jared watches. you can tell by his fashion -- he's keeping up with you. i got this, it says gayle, i don't like that flower on your shoulder. it looks like an open orange wound. just saying -- >> plan -- >> good morning, tyler perry. >> oh, man. >> well, he's funny. >> tyler -- drew has a flower, too. i did it in your honor. hopefully you like it. >> i love it. and i noticed right away. and like the yellow mic, i'll bring you some flowers. i like that tyler's watching. hi. >> but i did this in your honor. listen, congratulations to you on season two because i know how hard that is. but i want to talk about season one for a second. is it harder or easier than you thought? di you ever doubt while you were doing the show? >> well, luckily i was getting to know you, you were kind enough to do the art of the interview with me which is i wanted to have a series of conversations before i even launched the show with people

that i respect so much. and then i happened to be partners 25 years with nancy fallon, married to jimmy fallon. i had a lot of experienced voices that i trust telling me this is harder than you'll ever, ever imagine. and a part of me, i don't know if you know this about me, but i'm a little rebellious. and i was like, you know, i've been working since i was in diapers, and you're not realizing my work ethic. and i'm self-generated, i'm tireless. and i've got this. i know what crazy work hours and building -- >> how did you handle -- what happened? >> i cried in my bathroom several nights. >> did you? did you really? >> wondering what i had done to myself because a part of unraveling myself out of movies was because i wasn't happy with the hours that when i go to work at 4:00 a.m. and come home at 11:00 p.m. -- >> for family life -- >> that wasn't okay for my kids. i stopped working for many years

because i wanted to be a mom that raised her kids. that was front burner. there was no exceptions for me. >> you felt overwhelmed in the -- literally it drove you to tears? >> yes. i thought, oh, no, i've gotten myself back into that 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. schedule -- >> hours are brutal -- >> going for six, serve months in a row -- seven months in a row, it took almost two years to build the show. own f you're going to get a season two. we just found out last week. you tell yourself you're building all of this not knowing if there's a future in it. but everything is a building block that will bring knowledge and something learned later. so you can't do it for a reason, you have to do it because it's important to do it. >> now you feel what? >> relieved. >> okay. >> which is the most underrated emotion ever. it's -- relief doesn't sound sexy, but it is. >> it is. >> every time i get a negative covid test i feel relief. >> yes. >> and that's sexy. >> we get that report -- that's unique. the on-screen star of my youth

is just saying that's something i said was sexy, gayle king. >> i got it. >> that's right. it is. >> so the talk show's getting picked up for season two. that's -- that's huge, number one. >> also you know -- >> this is what people said, but drew's so happy, she's so upbeat. "saturday night live" did a parody of you. >> that happening in the beginning because -- >> i'm like, is that a bad thing to be in a parody? >> you and i texted. you said, i think it's safe, you're good. i think it's going to be okay. and jimmy texted me like, this is great, because it's "saturday night live." i hosted for the first time in 1982. i've hosted six times. it's an instituion to me that i was raised in. it's very reflective of the show. we have drew's news, i'm a news junkie. >> i'm a news junkie -- >> always. "weekend update." satirical news is my thing. i love the news in general, i love being informed. i do like finding the good stories, and we have to do our

civic duty -- >> yep -- >> to know everything that's happening, but we have to find the positive, too. that's my spin. i was spiraling on "snl" because in all transparency i was getting calls from station managers across the country going, what is this show? >> they were? >> yes. they were like, what is this creature that has popped out of the box by herself alone in this studio in the middle of a pandemic. everybody's losing their mind. what is this? when "saturday night live" came out, i was like, is this going to be a nail in the coffin for me with these people. and it was actually exactly what you and jimmy said. it was the start of this is okay, and i, you know, i just -- launching in a pandemic was such an unorthodox thing. and the energy of the world was wild. and so to pretend it wasn't didn't feel authentic. i leaned into it, which i think was a little nerve-racking for

people. and i -- you're learning on the job. and as much life experience as i had where i could put into this job, i'm still learning. and i have a lot of energy and excitement and enthusiasm for this, but a lot of humility knowing that -- >> when those -- >> i've got a job. >> when the station managers called what did you say? i'm sure there are people who have not seen the show and are wondering what is the new show. >> i said, you know, what i really care about because for whatever reason i'm obsessed with business. and i said, you talk to me, i will talk to you, we're finding our way. we're doing a show with no guests, no audience. >> yeah. >> it's really just me. >> yeah. >> and that's odd. and that's a new format. and i'm working with it, too, and we're finding our way. and we listen to them, and we worked and -- a lot of the people that i know who are in talk shows say that first year

you're really rearranging the chess board and moving the pieces around and getting rid of an idea you spore was going to work -- swore was going to work and it's not, or something you weren't that excited about is weirdly gaining momentum. and -- >> the word pivot. sometimes you just have to pivot and figure it out on the fly. >> yes. >> it seems like you're now settling into a groove and getting your rhythm, and you seem really, really okay with how it's going. that's good. >> i do not cry anymore at all. >> yeah. >> i'm in such a happy state. work is my happy place. work is the place that i'm the least stressed which is bizarre because uplifting and launching a national daytime talk show, putting out an hour of television every day is the -- a complete juggernaut that everyone said that i was like, no, i've got this, and i was like, oh, i don't have this. this is way harder. and it was very humbling. >> it's hard, whether it's dating, dating, talk shows, just know it's hard out here for --

leading to you we had a clip from "e.t." which never gets old to me. we were talking about movies, adriana, tony, we liked drew when she did da, da, da -- do you ever think about acting anymore? you're launching a magazine. now you've got a talk show. is acting done and done for you? >> it's not done and done. i get weirded out when people are like this is the farewell tour. i'm like, why? don't -- we might want -- don't do that. like what if you were to come back, then is it a mea culpa, now this is the farewell tour? what the future holds. every time someone says what's your board vision for five years -- i have no idea. >> yeah. >> but tell me what the next year is. i can map it out for you perfectly. i also was trying to build behind the scenes of the show a cookbook, a magazine, another line, beautiful, i have flower, and i'm sort of building this all up. and i know that the show could be integral to all of that, but

still i just kept going, saying i'm just putting one foot in front of the other. i'm building this. it's not -- >> you're doing a cookbook, too? >> yes. >> you are? >> yes. >> a lot of announcements. we knew there were going to be surprises. three -- >> a cookbook, okay. >> i think that i would be in a straitjacket if i didn't have all these buck totes fill -- buckets to fill. i thought i can handle a show. i have so much inspiration. in my tombstone it will say death by -- >> hello to olive and frankie, doing that, too. >> that comes first. that is on the front burner of everything i do. >> drew barrymore, we thank you.

. good morning. it's 85:00. alameda is now under the orange ti, r. bars can open outdoors without needing to serve food indoor dining can expand to 50% capacity. san francisco, pot holes on lombard are being fixed. the bus lane is still in the works and the bike lane is now completely separated from traffic. in san jose, restaurants are able to keep their outdoor dining areas through the end of the year. the program freed up city owned

parking lots, streets and parks for businesses like restaurants and gyms. in the traffic center we take a look at the roadways it's a bit slow on the road. there's a trouble spot northbound 101 right at broadway. at least the right shoulder and a lane blocked due to this incident. expect delays, also a crash reported westbound bay bridge, stuck in one of those lanes. as we look at the bay bridge toll plaza it's not to bad. things are moving okay off the east shore but still slow on 101 out of the south bay. sunny and very warm for today. in fact daytime highs, about 20 degrees above average and likely tying or breaking some record highs for today. so as you can see temperatures for many of us into the 80's. 83 for a high in san francisco, 85 in concord, as well as for oakland and looking at 88 for san jose. we will keep those warm temperatures going as we look

to tomorrow with the sunshine,
