7:00 am
that is great. thanks so much and thanks so much for watching. the news continues all day on cbsn bay area. >> we will be back with another local news good morning to good morning to you and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's thursday, april 1st, 2021. no jokes here. i'm gayle king. that's tony dokoupil. that's adrianna diaz. anthony is off today. four people are dead including a child after a mass shooting at a california office complex. what we know so far about yet another floyd's death. we'll tell you why one juror said she needed a break from the intense testimony. a major mix-up at a vaccine plant mixes doses.
7:01 am
we'll ask dr. anthony fauci about that and good news on the vaccine rollout. and it's baseball's opening day with big changes to keep fans safe and why last year's bobbleheads may soon be worth a lot of money. >> i love a good bobblehead. but first, here's today's eye opener. it's your world in 90 seconds. >> disbelief and guilt. >> why guilt? >> if i would have just not tooken the bill, this could have been avoided. >> in minneapolis today, jurors saw several videos never-before-viewed by the public on this the third day of derek chauvin's murder trial. >> f
7:02 am
7:03 am
we want nothing but good news for the bryant family. so nice she will be close to home and her mom and sisters. terrific. >> i love those college admission videos. >> i do too. i do too. we've got to begin with tough news, lives caugut short because we begin with the third high-profile shooting in three weeks in this country. this one in an office complex in orange county, california. four people dead, including a child. one other victim seriously injured and a suspect is also under arrest at this hour. omar villafranca is near the crime scene now. omar, good morning to you. what do we know? >> good morning. down, they found a police were called to shscene behind me of shots down. bystan shows police officers swarming this office building on lincoln avenue. the video appears to take place after the shooting had stopped.
7:04 am
police are later seen dragging a bloodied person out the front door. >> sheesh. >> reporter: orange police say four people including a child were killed. the suspect was injured and later taken to a local hospital along with a female gunshot victim. both are in critical condition. a gun was later found on the scene. no officers were injured during the shooting. >> i can tell you orange is a very safe city, and we don't have stuff like this that happens very often. >> reporter: family worried about their loved ones were desperate for answers, including one man who says he hasn't been able to reach his brother who works in a real estate office in the building. >> i'm just trying to find out his well-being. he's not answering his phone. neither is my niece. i'm pretty scared and worried. i wish i knew
7:05 am
>> boy, my heart sank when i saw this this morning. thank you. in minneapolis, derek chauvin's murder trial resumes this morning after a day of dramatic and sometimes traumatic eyewitness testimony. yesterday prosecutors played police body camera footage for the jury. more than one hour in all. witnesses testified that they felt guilty about george floyd's death and wish they could have helped him. jamie yuccas is outside the courthouse in minneapolis. jamie, how are the jurors reacting to this testimony? >> reporter: well, one juror had to take a break as nearly every witness burst into tears on the stand. she told the judge she had a stress-related reaction, felt shaky, and has had trouble sleeping. prosecutors also introduced new never-before-seen videos as evidence. again, we want to warn you, this video is disturbing. 61-year-old charles mcmillan was one of the first people on the scene may 25th.
7:06 am
he said he was trying to make the situation easier for george floyd. >> i have had interaction with officers myself, and i understand once you get in -- you can't win. >> reporter: when derek chauvin arrived on the scene, mcmillan who often walks the neighborhood, said he recognized him from a few days earlier. >> i told him like i tell all officers, at the end of the day you go home to your family safe, and let the next person go home safe. >> reporter: mcmillan broke down when prosecutors showed body camera footage of floyd being pinned to the ground. >> not moving. >> mama? mam mama? >> oh, my god. >> reporter: after the ambulance left the scene that day, mcmillan confronted chauvin. and for the first time, we can clearly hear chauvin. he's a sizable guy. >> yeah, and i got to get him in the car -- >> he's probably on something.
7:07 am
>> reporter: the jury also saw new security video of floyd in the cup food store where he allegedly used what appeared to be a counterfeit $20 bill. christopher martin is the cashier who interacted with floyd. >> seemed to just be having an average day, living his life. but he did seem high. >> reporter: later you can see martin outside the store with his hands on his head. >> what was going through your mind during that time period? >> disbelief and guilt. >> why guilt? >> if i would have just not taken the bill, this could have been avoided. >> reporter: the neighborhood where the cup foods is located is still healing in the months since floyd's death. what's the space been like since the trial started? >> we've gone through a myriad of emotion -- >> reporter: marcia howard is a veteran and one of the minneapolis residents who's a caretaker of 38th and chicago, a barricaded protest zone. >> george perry floyd jr. was a real person, not simply a symbol. we all know that that trial
7:08 am
somehow seems to be a trial of the value of a black life. these streets are to remain closed until the conviction of all four officers wholed george floyd. no justice, no street. >> reporter: the cup foods cashier you saw testify was not the one to call the police, but he did tell his manager he thought the bill was fake. witness after witness has mentioned the guilt they feel for not doing more to save george floyd. gayle? >> everybody who witnessed it that day feels guilty. i can't imagine what the jury's thinking watching this. it's very tough. thank you very much. now a major hitch in the race to vaccinate america. we are learning nearly 15 million doses of the johnson & johnson vaccine were ruined after a mixup at a manufacturing plant. according to "the new york times," workers confused the ingredients with those of another vaccine that was made at the plant. the astrazeneca version. now the mistake reportedly does not affect any of the doses that have already been shipped,
7:09 am
that's very important to note. some future shipments from the baltimore plant may number question while the fda investigates. cbs news visited the facility in january. we're joined by dr. anthony fauci. he is president biden's chief medical adviser and country's top expert on infectious diseases. there is a setback for people already nervous about the vaccine. they're saying that it's human error, and i think it's good that it was caught. how concerned should people be? how concerned are you about this? >> well, obviously you don't like to see anything like this happening, but you're right, gayle, it was human error. the fda is investigating this. the plant has not yet been fully certified by the fda. and as you pointed out correctly, people should realize that all the doses that have been distributed to us and have been administered did not come from that plant. so this is not related in any way to any of the j&j doses that people have already gotten. and what's going on there now,
7:10 am
as i mentioned, is being thoroughly investigated by the fda. >> how does this happen? when did the white house become aware of it, and how does it happen? >> well, you know, human errors do happen. you have checks and balances, and the good news about this despite the fact that it's really quite unfortunate that about 15 million doses now are not going to be able to be used, but you do have checks and balances, and you see that. that's the reason why the good news is that it did get picked up. as i mentioned, that's the reason nothing from that plant has gone into anyone that we've administered to. >> i'm ready for some good news. it's coming from pfizer this morning. pfizer is saying this -- that their vaccine is 100% effective in preventing severe illness, as defined by the cdc, including some of the cases in south africa that has that very troubling variant. does this mean that pfizer's a better vaccine? you know how it goes -- anybody that's gotten the vaccine, the first question they ask, which one did you get, which one did you get, and did you have any
7:11 am
reaction. does this mean pfizer is a better vaccine than the rest? >> no, it doesn't. it just means they did a test, and the results of the test as you mentioned are really very encouraging. something that we suspected all along, that even though you don't have a vaccine directed specifically against the variant, you can get some pretty good protection. pfizer did the study, it looked really good. i would not be surprised at all if moderna and other companies that did the same thing would get similar results. as we've said, when these came out all three of the vaccines that have an emergency use authorization from our fda are highly efficacious vaccines. that's all good news. and the pfizer news you that mentioned is just -- icing on the cake for good news. >> yeah. >> i like icing. i like cake, too. >> we all like icing. we like baseball's opening day which happens to be today. spring break is also going on at the moment. a lot of people are going to be gathering sunday for easter. you put that all together, dr.
7:12 am
fauci, and i'm curious, we heard the cdc director talk of impending doom as people loosen up and gather. do you share her concern? >> you know, i don't know if i would use the word impending doom. if you talk to dr. walensky, the point she's making is a valid point. we're seeing the cases that have plateaued over the last couple of weeks, and now they're starting to inch up. so the point that she was making was very valid. please be careful. don't declare victory prematurely. let's continue to abide by the public health measures that we all talk about because, you know, we have so much in our favor, tony. what we have is we have three million people that are getting vaccinated every single day. we have over 50 million people who have been completely and fully vaccinated. 97 others that have at least one dose of vaccine. so every day that goes by, we get more and more protected.
7:13 am
so what i say and what dr. walensky is saying is just hold pon for a bit longer because every day is more and more in our favor, and don't pull back prematurely. we are going to be able to pull back. we don't want people to believe that we're going to be in this situation forever. we're not. but don't pull back prematurely. >> so dr. fauci, your nationals have an opportunity to redeem themselves after a last-place finish last season. last place in their division. will you be attending a game on the trajectory on? i mean this seriously and also not so seriously. but do you see us on a trajectory where you'll be at a baseball game this summer? >> yes, i do. definitely. >> i love it. >> no doubt. >> thank you. >> and forget about last season, tony. they're going to go right back to 2019 this year. >> that would be a world series championship. a big, bold production from our dr. fauci. >> you heard it right here on cbs. >> we thank you. it's always good to see you. if you go to the game,
7:14 am
everybody, wear your mask. we can't say it enough. i don't know how many times. >> yeah. absolutely. and distance. >> and distance. >> and have fun. >> and enjoy the game. yeah. president biden has unveiled a massive $2 trillion plan to rebuild america's infrastructure. he says it's overdue and will put americans back -- americans to work. but the plan faces political pushback from both sides of the aisle. ed o'keefe is at the white house. ed, the president laid this all out in a speech in pittsburgh. what did he say? >> reporter: he sure did. good morning. he's calling it big and bold, and on paper it would be the largest federal spending program ever. $600 billion in this plan for new roads, hundreds of billions of dollars to revamp the nation's electrical grids, expand internet access, and rebuild aging schools and hospitals want these repairs are an urgent concern. a leading group of engineers gives the nation's infrastructure just a c-minus. that's because 45% of americans lack access to public transportation. on average, there's a water main break somewhere in the u.s.
7:15 am
every two minutes. who knew? and more than four in ten bridges in this country are at least 50 years old and in need of repair. mr. biden says he would pay for all of this with higher corporate tax rates and by imposing new taxes on multinational companies. most republicans have already criticized. meanwhile, a group of liberal democrats is telling the white house they think this plan isn't big enough. they'd rather see a $10 trillion plan spent over the next ten years. the president's new plan will be the subject of a cabinet meeting today. his first face-to-face meeting with his cabinet. normally they'd hold this in the white house cabinet room, but given the times, they'll will do did it at a social distance in the white house east room. >> thank you so much. we've got to pivot to alarming new video showing how far smugglers will go to get migrants crossroads the united states southern border. a surveillance camera recorded smugglers climbing a 14-foot barrier in new mexico and literally dropping two small children over the barrier to the ground. while child smuggling isn't
7:16 am
uncommon, what you are seeing is at least for now. agent rescued the children. one is a 5-year-old, the other is 3 years old. customs and border patrol say a lack of space, covid-19 protocols, and legal requirements mean some asylum seekers are being transported to rural communities after their stop near the border. lilia luciano visited one of those small towns in arizona to see how people there are responding. >> reporter: after being picked up by border patrol a few miles away, families like this one are now on the next stop in their journey to asylum. >> this is a tiny town in the middle of the desert. these border patrol vans just arrived. they're dropping off groups of asylum seekers, mostly family units. nearly 300 people have arrived in the small town before 4,000 in the last week and a half. >> there is the first time it's happening in this community. >> reporter: aaron cooper runs the international desert alliance, a community group that functions like a local government. this is the middle of the desert. why here?
7:17 am
>> there's a substation ten miles south of here. so anyone who's apprehended in that area of responsibility, they are being instructed to take them to the nearest population center which, in this case, is being interpreted as aho. >> reporter: in the past border patrol would take them to tucson. now they don't have the legal authority to do so. the small town with little resources mobilized to handle the influx of asylum seekers coming their way. were you guys even ready for this? >> this is not the first time we've had to come together as a community to solve a unique problem that hits suddenly. >> i was going to say, first thing you thought, take water in the desert, help other people. >> reporter: 82-year-old jose castillo says the volunteers who usually leave water for the migrants in the deadly desert are shifting gears to help asylum seekers along their journey. volunteers provide food and water and test asylum seekers for covid. separating out positive cases.
7:18 am
the county then uses these vans to transport them to tucson where there's housing and other available resources. jose andres from venezuela arrived at this shelter in tucson. >> i like in future. a better future. >> reporter: back in aho, cooper says he's already seeing volunteer fatigue. >> so when we went from one drop a day to oftentimes two drops a day, very quickly we had volunteer burnout. it turned f just want to be ther.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." critics are calling a proposed pipeline project in memphis, tennessee, environmental racism. they say predominantly black neighborhoods are being targeted for the construction of a 49-mile underground crude oil pipeline. they're worried it may devalue land and contaminate the city's drinking water. former vice president al gore recently went to memphis to support protesters. the pipeline company says-held forums with community members to try and address their concerns. we spoke to advocates on both sides of this intensifying fight. this green acre of land in southwest memphis, clyde
7:31 am
robinson calls his legacy. it's been in his family since the 1930s. >> this is the whole lot -- >> reporter: the 80-year-old is among several memphis landowners fighting to keep a crude oil pipeline from cutting through their property. he and others like scottie fitzgerald say they're being robbed of their land and livelihood. >> this to me is hurtful. i am offended. >> reporter: the two energy companies overseeing the project plan to build a pipeline about four feet underground. it would stretch 49 miles in order to connect two existing pipelines transporting crude oil to the gulf coast. the company, plains all american, says the pipeline is a safe, responsible way to meet the energy needs of our country. and they say they're paying above-market price to homeowners for access to their land. environmental activists and many locals say the pipeline companies are pressuring mostly black property owners to build through their land while also
7:32 am
putting memphis' pristine drinking water at risk of contamination. >> we are facing one of the most significant environmental justice and environmentally racist projects in the country's present and history in memphis, tennessee. >> reporter: justin pearson co-founded memphis community against the pipeline. >> memphis is the largest municipality in the country to solely rely on ground water for its drinking water. this pipeline is being built in an area where there are known breaches in the clay layer. so there are holes where this contamination would more quickly get to our drinking water source than other places in the city or other places where they may operate plieipelines. it is not true that this is safe. >> we picked the route with the fewest amount of impacts. >> reporter: plains all american's spokeswoman katy martin says 97% of landowners have agreed to their project, and she says plains all american has talked to researchers and done environmental studies that
7:33 am
show the pipeline will not harm memphis' drinking water, some of the cleanest in the nation, which comes from below ground. do you understand people's concerns that they want to be able to protect their land? that they're worried about environmental issues with in pipeline? and that a majority of black neighborhood is being targeted here. >> i've listened, and our company has listened and tried to hear everyone's concerns. we've routed this in the most responsible way possible. we avoided environmental issues, we avoided landmarks, we avoided densely populated neighborhoods, and we really chose this path because we were able to use the vacant lots. it wasn't because we were targeting one group of people over another. >> reporter: plains all american has offered to pay landowners for easements to access their land to construct the pipeline. robinson says he was offered
7:34 am
$8,000. fitzgerald says she was offered $3,000. they both refused, and now the pipeline's lawyers have taken them to court. >> so eminent domain is used as a last resort. we are still trying to negotiate with every land owner and trying to come to a mutually beneficial agreement with them. >> reporter: robinson and fitzgerald disagree. they say no amount of money will persuade them to allow the pipeline to cut through their land. how do you feel about how far this has gone? >> i feel like you took something from me that was a legacy -- i have grandchildren. how could you do that? i wouldn't think of doing another human being like that. >> the construction of the pipeline is still in limbo. once it begins, if it does, it will take about nine months. activist are hoping the biden administration intervenes since it did stop the keystone pipeline project. this is really tough. they're calling it environmental racism because the majority black, low-income neighborhood
7:35 am
is being targeted, and the people who live there, the ones who oppose this, say, you know, this company thinks we don't have the resources to fight this. but they say they're being underestimated, that they will fight it. the company says that they have the environment and these families top of mind, that that's the reason they chose this route because it affects the least number of people, it affects the environment the least. but for those who live there, that's 100% of their land. >> yeah. also when you hear them say, oh, there are abandoned lots there, so that's why the company wants to go through -- you have to ask yourself why are there abandoned lots there. is there a hear of lack of investment in the community? it's not a coincidence that that's a black community in the first place. >> also this country needs crude oil, it needsnergy to survive and to continue. that's what the company is saying. this group doesn't want it going through their land. >> got to draw the line somewhere. >> they made it very clear. very clear. a reminder, you can always get this morning's news by subscribing to our "cbs this morning" sk podcast. what do you get for that? top stories in less than 20 minutes.

[ speaking foreign language ] especially painful for the pope -- the absence of pilgrims during what's normally the busiest week at the vatican. in the past year, diminishing donations and closures at the vatican museums have left a hole that's both spiritual and financial, says cbs news vatican contributor monsignor anthony figueiredo. >> 2020, $108 million shortfall, 25% less revenues. it's led to even the cardinals having a decrease of 10%. so there is real concern because we have both the fall in numbers in catholics, a lot of credibility for the church because of the sexual abuse crisis, and now the pandemic. it's like being in a boxing ring and not knowing where the next

controversial new voting law after receiving backlash for earlier supporting parts of it. the atlanta-based airline which is one of the state's largest employers was a target of boycott threats after bashing previously said the law improved consider considerably. in a new statement to delta employees he calls the legislation unacceptable saying it does not match delta's values. he said the rationale for the bill was based on a lie. the state's governor kemp says the statement stands in contrast to the conversation with the company and ignores the content of the new law. we are joined now to discuss this. let's sort this out. good to see you again. the governor is upset. it's clear you're not going to be going for joint manipeddis any time soon. he said you never raised any concerns about it. he said he feels blind sided by you. what do you say to that? >> first, good to be with you,
8:05 am
gayle. it's been a frustrated few weeks for us in the state of georgia. as the process unfolded, it was moving quickly. there were a lot of changes. our team was in there, absolutely. expressing our points of view. making significant improvements to what hp proposed. when we got a chance to see it put together, and had a chance to digest it, as well as listen and hear it from the voices of our people about it, we realized that this was restricting their access, our people's access, particularly in the black community. and it did not -- it's important that we take a step forward in terms of a society that is polarized. the right to vote is sacrosancsacrosankt. we can't do anything to send a message to people to make it more restrictive and harder to have their voice heard. >> did you not know that before,
8:06 am
ed? i understand you spoke with black leaders and employees. what did they tell you and what was your message? did you not know any of that before? >> of course we knew that before, gayle. and we were very clear well before the bill was signed into law. we put statements out to that effect. and some of the comments that were made were taken out of context. we were not supporting the bill. we were supporting the fact that we were exiting toxic provisions of proposed legislation. when you put it together, it did not match with what we said at the start we were looking to do which was to ensure that voter rights are protected. they're sacrosankt and they're facilitated in a safe and secure manner. >> the georgia state house has now responded to your revised statement opposing the law, an they voted to strip tax breaks that delta benefits from the state of georgia. that's a pretty big deal.
8:07 am
what's your reaction to that? >> i'm not going to respond. we -- this is something that's more than money. this is about protecting the voices of our people. when i speak to our people particularly within the black community, we're here in atlanta. we've got a very large black employee base. almost universally they are hurt by the law and the legislation that was enacted and we need to make certain their voices are heard. we spent a lot of time in the last year reaching out to those most vulnerable. and telling them that we hear them, that we see them. that their voices matter. and if we can't stand with them now, when will we? >> you say the law is in the revised statement, based on a lie and unacceptable. to put it simply, does that mean you will work to repeal the law? is that your position? should it be repealed? >> we're going to work to make certain that our employee voices are heard. and access to their vote is
8:08 am
protected. and is facilitated, and, dbut i a safe and secure manner. >> we talked about you had conversations with black leaders and your employees and that helped you digest this law and come out strongly yesterday after praising parts of the law an friday. what do you say to critics who are saying that you're responding to the threats of boycotts that followed your statement friday where you talked about certain parts of the law that you felt were beneficial? >> we never said that parts of the law were beneficial. what we said were we appreciated the toxic portions of the proposed legislation were being taken out. that's what we appreciated. and that was beneficial, but it's not the law in its entirety was not beneficial. we never said that. but what we do is we run our business. and i don't respond to boycotts and we live in a divided time. there is many people probably on the other side that are upset
8:09 am
with me now as we're last week, but we were clear before this whole discussion started that we need to protect the right to vote, and we're continuing with that objective and will continue to fight to make the changes happen as necessary. >> we heard one of your conversations was with someone who joined us yesterday to talk about a letter in the new york times. i want to talk about delta the airline. i'm look agent the beautiful plane behind you. i hear delta is going to open up middle seats. a lot of people are thinking don't do that. the cases are going up. what's leading to the change now? why do you think now is the time when covid cases are going back up? >> well, as we navigated the pandemic, our top objective was to make certain that consumers felt confident in air travel. the safety of air travel. and we are doing that. and it's all the safety protocols. the middle seat and capping the number of people on the plane
8:10 am
was one of the standards. but the cleanliness standards, the air quality, the filtration systems, ensuring masks are being complied with on board our planes. i've instructed our team to make sure every time a customer boards a delta plane, it's factory fresh. and they're doing that and customers are telling us that. when you look at where the case counts are, yes, there are certain parts of the country, the case counts are starting to rise a bit. but case counts are relatively contained and more importantly than that, the vaccinations are soaring. 40% of the u.s. adult population have been vaccinated at this point. we're not opening those middle seats quite yet. it's not going to be until may. and our customers tell us by may that two-thirds of them by the first of may expect they'll be vaccinated and 75% by memorial day. we need to respond to the surge in demand. today will be our busiest day
8:11 am
post the pandemic in terms of people we're carrying and we're carrying them safely. and we're giving more people an opportunity to fly delta than ever before. >> so you're waiting until may because you think more people will be vaccinated. have you been vaccinated? >> yes, i have. i hope you have too. >> i have too. thank yo

welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you some of the stories that we call "talk of the table" around here. and tony is in pole position. >> all right. i have a bit of an advisory for people. the pandemic has made it hard for airlines to predict demand for the upcoming summer travel season. so what they're doing is posting what they call placeholder schedules before they publish the actual flying schedules. so flights that end up getting a lot of people to sign up will go ahead and the placeholder will be the reality. flights that people don't sign up for will be canceled. >> oh. >> and those people will be moved to other flights that may not be at a time that work for you. american, united, and delta, all
8:31 am
of them are acknowledging that their real summer schedule is not the one that you'll see if you look right now. but they'll post it in a few weeks. so be prepared if you're planning your summer trips, don't book tight connections, and what you see may not be what you get in the end. >> not comforting. >> not great. but now you know i guess. >> at least you've been warned. >> you've been warned. i suppose they're trying to reduce delays in the future because if they know where people are going to be flying and are more efficient with the schedule, that might make it better in the long run. >> i think they really don't know like the vaccine problem we talked about earlier today, if that means that fewer people feel safe enough to travel. like if flights are going to disappear, you know. >> yeah. >> just a chaotic time. >> it is. we've got a followup on a story we talked about earlier this week. president biden's dog major, we told you about how the 3-year-old german shepherd nipped someone while on a walk on monday. this is his second biting incident at the white house. and guess who called the white house to offer his services? >> yes.
8:32 am
>> cesar millan, the dog whisperer. we talked about this during the commercial break. tony, you suggested let's get caesar in there. >> i'm glad. >> he spoke to "inside edition," and here's a clip. >> do you think major is a dangerous animal? >> no. no, not at all. not at all. it's the humans. we have to train humans. >> so you say the people need the training, not major? >> absolutely. all white house staff. >> the people need the training, not the dog. the whole staff. what do you think about that? >> i'm hoping he becomes like the mypillow guy of the biden administration. showing up with policy recommendations, completely unrelated to dogs or pillows. i don't know. >> cesar's very good. he's got a good reputation. we'll see if they take him occupyup on his offer. i am surprised to hear it's a human problem. he knows his stuff. we'll see. we want major to be okay and dr. biden and jill biden say he's a good dog. he's just adjusting.
8:33 am
my talk tac"talk of the tab it's april fools' day, i forgot until i said april 1st, we're looking at pranks by the companies that you know and love. here's some that i think are worth noting. starting with ikea introduced some dog couture. this ad says, sleep, sophisticated swedish design can be enjoyed by our huns -- swedish for dog. velveeta announced v by velveeta. the creaminess in skin care. >> oh, no. >> think about that. i love cheese, but not on my face. partnered with peeps, by the way, partnered with green giant to promote cauliflower marshmallow peeps. i don't know about them together. for those who like their marshmallow bunnies with a hint of cauliflower flavor. jacksonvi jif, peanut butter up, unveiled a mask of creamy peanut butter. i'll pass on that one. and outback steakhouse showed off -- this is clever -- their lip-steak collection of
8:34 am
fashion-forward colors. >> that one may take off. >> a nice color. >> lip-steak, i like it, too. the fake ad promises they will make you look like a delicious entree. i think people are having fun on april fools' day. i personally don't like april fool's pranks and try to avoid them at all costs. happy april fools' day to you. >> good luck to those of you planning something. >> good luck to those of you who are a victim of something. switching gears. many of have us probably been spending more time sitting on the couch since the pandemic began. and a new study found that adults have gained roughly 1.5 pounds every month since the start of the lockdowns last year. and it's not only adults. before the pandemic, one in three children in the u.s. were considered overweight or obese. and that number may have risen with fewer opportunities for exercise. we spoke with one massachusetts mom who told us she grew concerned that one of her sons was much less active when after school and other activities were
8:35 am
shut down. >> before the pandemic, miles was going to karate every single day. he was very active in soccer. he also has brothers, and so he was always at the playground. >> millions of students across the country log on from home -- >> when covid hit, mom had to say no more karate, no more soccer. it was for safety reasons because everyone was so fearful. so our world got really small. more screen time started happening, we were all trapped in the house and just said, hey, we are going to have pizza because it's literally the only release that you have. that was kind of the breaki iin point for me. time for lunch. we started making some changes. cucumbers -- we're introducing a lot more vegetables. miles was a part of that conversation around, you know, having healthier food, limiting snacks, making sure we had more
8:36 am
exercise, more movement going on. we started to kind of take a look at our neighborhood like where we were willing to go down to the playground and explore that a little bit because they needed to start moving their bodies. it's not about the shape because people come in all different shapes. but you got to feel comfortable. i want him to move his body, breathe fresh air and be a healthy kid with his sparkle back. >> ordering that pizza is relatable. senior medical correspondent dr. tara narula joins us now. she's also a cardiologist at neit northwell health in new york. let's talk about the health risks of obesity and get into how parents should talk about it. a study found childhood obesity went up in 2020. what does that mean for kids' health? >> well, any parent will tell you that this has been so difficult to watch all the challenges our kids have faced. many are calling this a pandemic summer. we know during the summer kids tend to gain weight, and this is
8:37 am
a summer that's gone on for over a year. so certainly we know that kids who develop obesity are at risk for becoming adults who have obesity. and there are health risks associated. for instance, hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes, respiratory problems like asthma and sleep apnea, acid reflux, fatty liver, joints and musk skeletal problems, and the whole host of psychological issues, as well, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem. it really was the perfect storm of a pandemic exacerbating an underlying epidemic of childhood obesity in this country. >> true story from my childhood. the first healthy body conversation i had involved me getting out of the pool and my stepfather just pinching the fat on my belly. prior to that moment, didn't even occur to me i had a belly, let alone that it could get bigger. i don't think that would be the recommended way to begin that conversation. but how do you do it? it's a delicate one, and there are a lot of ways to put your foot wrong. >> absolutely. and you know, we have two young
8:38 am
daughters, my husband and i, my husband's a plastic surgeon. we really delicately walk around these conversations about bodies. and really what we try to do is steer away from image and appearance and weight and focus on healthy living. and that's what parents really want to do. it's set the patterns, the foundation for a healthy lifestyle from a young age, so the same way that we talk to our kids about finances and teach them about money, we teach them about values and manners, we help them with their homework and goal setting, we need to be laying down healthy habits for exercise and diet so that they go off to college and they know how to make the right choices. and really also we want to pay attention to how or kids are feeling about their weight. so asking them if they come to us with questions like am i overweight, really approaching it with what do you file about your weight, and how can we help you as a family and support you in terms of making good choices. >> dr. narula, are there certain words that parents should avoid when talking to their kids about weight? >> well, certainly, again, you
8:39 am
don't want to put your kid on a diet. that is something that has been shown that can actually increase the risk of eating disorders and obesity. um a you also don't want to restrict foods or have one child able to eat certain foods and the other child can't. you want to be careful about what you talk about with your partner in the home around your children. so avoiding comments about your own weight or if you see people on television saying comments about their weight or their image. kids will pick up on those cues. you have to be careful about the conversations you have. >> how much daily physical activity should children have? and adults, too, for that matter, during this time? >> so children should be getting about 60 minutes a day. and for adults, we usually say 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week which is like 30 minutes a day for adults. and really what you want to do both for kids and adults is find activities that you enjoy doing. a variety of activities. and it's been difficult with our kids because they've been in the house. but there are things that kids
8:40 am
can do at home, things like setting up an obstacle course, playing balloon volleyball, we call it balloon bop in my house. then there are dance and youtube videos and games that kids can do, go noodle has a lot of great educational videos for kids on how to stay active. cosmic yoga. there are things that parents can offer their kids to keep them active. in fact, the american heart association has a great app called nfl play 60 with a lot of great videos and activities, as well. >> they all sound so fun. dr. tara

♪ take me out to the ball game, that little diddy. today is opening day for major league baseball. the mlb is planning to play a full 162-game season after canceling nearly two-thirds of their games last year because of the pandemic. now they're dealing with a rather unusual problem, you could say -- what to do with the millions of bobbleheads and other giveaways that should have gone to fans last year, but they didn't because of covid. kris van cleave is inside t-mobile park in seattle where the mariners will take on the giants tonight. chris, good morning. i'm still trying to could the problem here. you couldn't give them away last year. give them away this year. everybody gets three or four instead of one. >> reporter: it may not be that simple. good morning. you know, it's been 550 days
8:45 am
since fans have had this view. that's going to change tonight for about 9,000 people. they'll be in the stands. they'll be in groups of one to six in their own pods. the rest of the seats here are locked down. it's been a huge logistical challenge for baseball, but there's this other challenge -- what do you do with four million of these, and that is nothing to shake your head at. >> that was a nice one -- >> reporter: a year ago, pitcher trevor williams thought one of his baseball dreams was about to come true. his own bobblehead night. >> i think it's something that every player wants secretly. it's something that is one of those career -- things on their checklist that they want to get. >> reporter: come last august, there were no pirates fans at the game to give his "star wars" themed souvenir to. now tens of thousands are in boxes in pittsburgh while trevor is now pitching in chicago for the cubs. what do you think should happen to these bobbleheads? >> thankfully, i don't have to make that decision. thankfully, that's above my pay
8:46 am
grade. >> reporter: one company is dealing with the bobbling back up. is there a point where there room is overflowing in bobbleheads? >> overflowing is an understatement. >> reporter: jay deutsch runs bda, the people who make all the cool things sports teams give away like all these bobbleheads. the giants resurrected the craze with a giveaway in 1999, and soon these limited run items became a hot ticket for collectors, some selling for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. >> at least two-thirds of the bobblehead promotions are already in production or on their way to the stadiums by march. >> reporter: are we talking about millions of bobbleheads? >> we're talking about millions of bobbleheads. yes. and so we then had to go into action to say are we staging for the first month, two, or three months that we aren't going to have fans but it will turn back on, versus the final decision thereof are no fans, now where do you store them for use next
8:47 am
year. >> reporter: bobbleheads take months to design and make. each one is even hand painted. teams order the dolls at up to 50,000 at a time because the giveaways drive attendance. so a head is a terrible thing to waste. what do with last year's manny ramirez hall of fame bobble is up to the red sox' adam grossplan. >> bobblehead is still the top of the list of what fans want as it relates to giveaways. >> reporter: we got special access to some uncirculated heads still labeled 2020. they feature all-time greats and current players likely to be given away there year even if the packaging is a bit dated. do you lean toward give them out even if the guy'son your team anymore? >> it's on a case-by-case basis. we're fortunate that we didn't have that challenge this year. but there are times where there are -- they don't see the light of day. >> i can just imagine these bobblehead collectors bike myself salivating over the
8:48 am
chance to get hold of these dolls that no one may ever seen. >> reporter: for collectors, this bobblehead backlog could mean a massive memorabilia home run. >> getting your hands on a bobblehead that was never distributed is like the holy grail for check doors. that's what you want -- collectors. that's what you want. >> reporter: the pirates sent williams boxes of his bobblehead so he sent 50 to fans who contributed to his charity supporting those with spinal cord injuries. they went quicker than his fastball -- gone in under an hour. trevor's still waiting to hear what will happen to the other 10,000 or so of his bobbleheads. but giveaways are back. baseball's going to give away $1.5 million worth of stoticketo frontline and essential workers and teams will give things away. the red sox will wait until they have more fans in the stands. others might do a giveaway over two or three days.
8:49 am
that's what the mariners are doing. traditionally they give away this magnet with the schedule on opening night, except it's going to be a three-day giveaway this year. guys? >> all right, chris. i've been educated. >> very satisfying story. >> it really was. the bobblehead industry is much bigger than i realisesed. >> i did not know -- >> a lot of layers to it. very nice, kris van cleave. >> something that was almost a waste because it wasn't given out last year is valuable to these collectors. >> hand painted? >> that is hard to believe that they're hand painted. >> that does surprise me. >> mother nature to come on tha. thank you. today "cbs this morning," on our podcast, columbia university law professor katherine frankie discusses the nearly century-old battle to pass the equal rights amendment. that continues. we will be right back. so you just scored amazing savings at ross? mmm-hmm. on brandnds that takake you fm me t time... ...t.to go time.e...
