year's all-star game from georgia over one such law in the state. let's remind folks what it does. it shrinks the window for sending absentee ballots, severely limits the number of ballot drop boxes, and gives more control of local elections to state lawmakers who are majority republican. it also makes it a crime to give water or food to people waiting in line to vote. there are also less controversial elements like expanding early voting so that there are at least 17 days to cast a vote, and it can go up to 19 days if counties choose to offer two sundays of voting. the bill also requires that when lines are longer than ow leadin threaten retaliation. for more on all of this, we're joined by atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms. mayor bottoms, good morning to you. a complicated morning for you i imagine because this is somewhat divided democrats.

on the one hand you've got president biden supporting the move by major league baseball, but stacey abrams, prominent democrat in the state, says while she commends major league baseball, she's disappointed about the impact this move could have on families there in the atlanta area. where are you on this this morning? >> first of all, good morning, and thank you for having me. you know, this is a tough one. the metro atlanta economy is the tenth largest economy in the nation. so when you talk about boycotts in and around atlanta and the state as a whole, it's impacting small businesses. it impacts corporations that hire not just corporate officers but administrative assistants. people who clean up the building, work in the cafeteria. i respect the decision. i understand the decision, but i don't like the fact that we have been put in this position by our state legislature and our governor because the people of georgia will suffer. >> yeah.

mayor bottoms, you've said that other dominos may fall as a result of this law in your state. have you heard from other companies who have signaled that they're not going do business in atlanta or in the state of georgia because of it? >> well, i do know that there are other large-scale events that are openly contemplating whether or not they will stay in our state. tourism is one of the largest industries in our state. delta airlines is one of the largest employers in our state. so this will have a devastating impact. and the irony of it is that we were opened up early under the name of giving back to some type of economic recovery, and with just one signature that's all been wiped out. and so it's not too late for the governor and the legislature -- legislators to go back, do something differently. they can go back in january, they can fix this very broken and ill-conceived law, or they can perhaps can even go into

special session over the next few months and make tweaks that will allow us to continue to be the open and welcoming state that we claim to be. >> well, the governor, mayor, good to see you, the governor and republicans in your state legislature do not appear to be -- do not appear to be backing down. they say they are standing firm. are you worried that this will backfire against your state and your city? >> i'm absolutely concerneded that this will backfire. this is the first of likely many events that we will see pulled from our city, from our state. and also, again, we are home to almost 30 fortune 500 companies in the metropolitan atlanta area, an area that voted very heavily democrat back in november and in january. and so it is -- it's unfortunate. we've had loss contemplated in the past, threatened boycotts,

but we've had governors in the past who vetoed those laws. this governor has doubled down. >> mayor, how would you like corporations and businesses to respond to this issue? >> well, what you've seen is a response from corporations and businesses -- >> it's hurting the city potentially, so what would -- what if anything would you like them to do? >> just what corporations have done. they have spoken out and said that they support access to open voting, and that this law is not a good law for our state as a whole. i think at this point that is all they can do. but there is -- actually, there is a little more. i know many corporations who have already said that they will not support candidates with financial support who supported this law. so it looks like it's going to be a very long and painful fight all the way around. but again, there's an opportunity to fix this. you have to know when to hold,

you have to know when to fold. this is hurting our state, the economy of our state, and that's not good for anyone no matter what side of the aisle you are on. >> mayor keisha lance bottoms, thank you very much for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. in a new sign that americans are ready to move on from the pandemic, more people traveled by air over the weekend than at any point since the crisis began. it comes as the u.s. set a new record friday for vaccinations with more than four million in a single day. more than 106 million americans have received at least one dose. that's 40% of the adult population. health officials are concerned, though, that we're loosening restrictions too fast, potentially causing another spike. erroll barnett is at newark liberty national airport. what's the advice for travelers? >> reporter: well, anthony, the advice remains -- if you can refrain from air travel. judging on the traffic we're seeing here at this terminal this morning and the millions of people who traveled this

weekend, many people just cannot refrain. they have to get out. many folks heading back now after seeing friends and family for the easter weekend. and this comes just as the cdc issues new guidance for people who are vaccinated. you don't have to self-quarantine or test before you fly, but the major caveat here is it's still advisable to -- advises against international travel and nonessential domestic trips. in san jose, california, kathy anderson reunited with her daughter for the first time in a year. >> i love you, too. >> reporter: anderson is one of the millions of americans who returned to the skies this weekend, shattering pandemic travel records. increased demand prompted delta airlines to temporarily open up middle seats, and american's domestic bookings are at 90% of pre-pandemic levels. >> it seems like all of a sudden it's a rush. >> reporter: larry pettis says he felt more comfortable flying because he'd been fully

vaccinated. he's one of the 61 million americans, roughly one-fifth of u.s. adults, who fall in that category. >> we know for vaccinated people, it's reasonably safe to do this. among unvaccinated people, it is not yet. and i'm worried that it's going to lead to more infections and more hospitalizations. >> reporter: dr. jha says new variants are contributing to the spread of covid in several states. >> it is a rush between the variants that have become widespread and are spreading more more effective and quickly, and how many people we can protect through vaccines. >> reporter: the variant initially detected in the uk now accounts for about 26% of covid cases in the u.s. and this weekend officials announced a new variant initially identified in india was found in the bay area. >> it's made up of a couple of other variants that we've seen elsewhere. the data so far suggests that it may be more contagious like the

uk variant is. >> reporter: now as scary as that sounds, jha says that the vaccines do appear effective against the variants. and more americans are getting the shots. all of that, not just encouraging news for everyone's health, but for the travel industry which has been battered by the pandemic. the hotel and leisure sector added 280,000 jobs during the pandemic. but gayle, the unemployment rate is still twice the national average at 13%. so positive signs, but a long way to go. >> yeah. very positive signs. i love a good airport hug. you're right, unemployment not so great. thank you. good to see you. florida's governor is declaring a state of emergency today because of a toxic wastewater pond near tampa bay is in danger of breaching. the piney point reservoir at an old phosphate plant is surrounded by radioactive material, though officials say that the water is not radioactive. florida officials have evacuated a nearby jail and more than 300 homes.

janet shamlian is in palmetto, florida, tracking efforts to keep the reservoir safe. >> reporter: millions of gallons of wastewater for days have been released into florida waterways, including tampa bay, to relieve stress on the retaining walls. in a desperate effort to avoid an environmental disaster. >> what we're looking at now is trying to prevent and respond to if need be a real catastrophic flood situation. >> reporter: officials say the pond at an old fertilizer plant holds 4 0 million gallons of polluted water. a mix of saltwaters, storm runoff, and acidic water containing phosphorous and nitrogen. ron desantis denied reports it's radioactive. >> the water meets water quality standard for marine waters with the exception primarily of the phosphorous and the nitrogen. >> reporter: the piney point

phosphate plant closed 20 years ago. there's been growing concern about both the water and the deteriorating infrastructure holding it. a top state regulator called it one of the biggest environmental threats in florida history. in a 2003 story in the "st. petersburg times." the paper reporting state officials fear the waste will spill into tampa bay, killing millions of fish and destroying plant life for miles. even without flooding, the controlled flow is pumping potentially dangerous water into the bay. ann sherwood, who runs a local estuary program, is worried about the impact. >> for the past 20 years we've been trying to get attention to final for the facility. >> he says the nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations could fuel more algae blooms which can kill off fish and other wildlife. >> the people that work and live in tampa bay have done a lot and made a lot of investments to get the bay back into healthy

condition as we see it today. it wasn't always like this. so when these events happens, it's almost an insult to the community. >> reporter: this is the point at which they are turning people around. authorities say beyond these barricades, it is not safe. now authorities say after this current situation is resolved, they will work to close the plant permanently. but the bigger issue, they say, is that there are dozens of plants like this, crumbling aging infrastructure, all over the state. tony? >> infrastructure, we're hearing a lot about it. thank you so much. in minneapolis, people gathered on easter sunday close to the spot where george floyd was killed near a year good mo

you. >> george floyd's death has affected many people far from the city. we met a woman yesterday who drove from iowa to pay her respects. but the heart of the community is still grieving. an easter celebration gathered here, in a world outreach for christchurch parking lot, just feel from the memorial marking with george floyd died. pastor curtis farrar honored floyd during thinks easter service. >> it is going to take the power of god to get racism out of our human nature. >> julie jefferson reflected on floyd's death after the service. >> it's hard to understand how one human being can do that to another human being for us that go to this church, no matter what they change around here. you're going to always remember that moment. >> reporter: sammy birch lives not far from where floyd died back in may. >> prayer is one action but an

action as well is protest. teach people right from wrong. >> reporter: what would justice look like? >> be treated as one. i'm no different than you. you're no different than me. >> reporter: as the derek chauvin trial hangs over minneapolis, many say the testimony is too painful to watch. >> i have two sons. they're grown and married now. i look at that as that could have been there. >> reporter: testimony like friday, from the most senior minneapolis police officer who was highly critical of the derek chauvin's show of force on floyd. >> putting a knee on a neck for that amount of time is just uncalled for. >> reporter: chauvin's attorneys dispute those claims and argue it was kbagsa combination of he and drugs that caused floyd to die. we will hear from the cheap of the minneapolis who fired chauvin days after the incident

and apologized to floyd's family. >> jamie, thank you. ahead -- hunter biden says he didn't know his work with the ukrainian company would make him a political target. we talked with the pres

we have much more ahead including what's next after one of the wildest endings in the history of march madness. plus, a new champion is crowned on the women's side. a lot of basketball news. you're watching "cbs this morning." dodoes scrubbibing grease e feee a workouout? scscrub less w with dawn u ua it''s superirior grease-e-cleag formula a gets to wowork faste, makingng easy workrk of tough hs dawn takeses care of t tough gr, wherevever it showows up. scrub b less, saveve more...wh dawnwn alright, guys, no insurance talk on beach day. -i'm down.n. -y-yes, pleasese.

"beautiful things" is a revealing look at his long battle with addiction and how he's handled personal tragedies. it comes out tomorrow from gallery books, an imprint of simon & schuster, a division of viacomcbs. we spoke with him about whether his busines dealings ever crossed the line, including work for a ukrainian company that became a big issue in president trump's first impeachment. also, whether he regrets putting his father's political future at

risk. >> the question of whether i would do it again, though, is no. >> you wouldn't do it again? in his new memoir, hunter biden defend his decision to serve on the board of ukrainian energy company burisma while his father oversaw u.s. policy in the region as vice president. you grew up in politics. >> yeah. >> did you not think you might be putting a big bull's-eye on yourself? >> i didn't fully comprehend the level to which this former administration and the people around it would go. the difference between the politics that you're talking about in terms of the last, you know, 40 years, is vea very different game. i don't want to ever again to hand a weapon to people that would use it in an illegitimate

way that they used the weapon of me against my dad. >> reporter: near the end of the 2020 campaign other another weapon emerged -- >> this laptop is a disaster. how the hell did he ever let go of of this sucker? >> reporter: >> allies of president trump and supporters in the media promoted incriminating evidence allegedly found to a laptop belonging to biden. >> you've seen the pictures, folks. >> it was delivered to the fbi by the owner of a delaware computer store. youmake one reference to it in the book. is that laptop yours? >> it's -- you don't need a laptop. you got a book. you get the book, it's all in the book, and i don't know. i truly -- >> you don't know? >> the serious answer is that i truly do not know the answer to that. >> did you leave a laptop with a repair man in -- >> not that i remember, no, no. but whether or not somebody has my laptop, whether or not it was a -- i was hacked, whether or

not there exists a laptop, i don't know. >> are you missing a laptop? >> not that i know of. you know, you read the book, and you'll realize that i wasn't keeping tabs on possessions very well for about four-year period of time. >> at the end of the last year, biden acknowledged an ongoing investigations by federal authorities for potential tax law violations. is your legal team working on any kind of a plea deal? >> oh, no. i am absolutely certain that what we're doing is being completely cooperative with whoever is asking from any authority what so ever. >> the implication is that your contacts benefited your father. you have given him any money from your business ventures? >> never. >> not a nickel? >> not i nickel. >> directly or indirectly? >> directly or indirectly. no, 100%, no, never. >> in 2018, near the height of his battle with addiction, biden misplaced a handgun, sparking a

law enforcement investigation. new details emerged last month that the secret service may have become involved improperly. >> it's a concern that i would hurt myself or do something -- >> your brother's widow threw the gun away. she was trying to protect you? >> i think she -- yes, yeah. i think she was just concerned about me. >> why did you have a gun? >> well, i -- again, the period in my life that was difficult. i don't know. hallie's intent was to make certain that i didn't do anything to hurt myself. >> according to the reporting, at one point the secret service went looking for the record of sale. do you know anything about that? >> nothing. no. no. no idea. >> did somebody report the loss of the gun? >> yeah. they -- they had -- in the moment, you know, we knew that the gun was lost, that hallie

had thrown it into a trash can. and i told her, you can't do that. when i realized that it was gone. and so she went back, and they -- the police came to help retrieve the gun which was retrieved. someone had gone through the trash and picked it up, they found it within hours i believe. that was the end of the story. >> do you know about the secret service being involved -- >> i have no idea. i don't know why they would be. i don't think that's true. to my knowledge. >> the secret service told cbs news it has no record of its agent being -- agents being involved in the incident, and joe biden was not under protection at that time. in our next hour, we talk to hunter biden about his decades' long struggle with alcohol and cocaine, plus why after the death of his brother, beau, he turned to crack and says he tried to disappear. >> there's a lot there. >> yeah. it's interesting that he says that he wouldn't do it again,

[ cheers ] >> oh, yes! unbelievable! >> reporter: with a near half-court shot in overtime -- >> oh, my goodness, one of the great games -- >> reporter: freshman hero jalen suggs sent gonzaga to the national championship.

now the bulldogs are on the precipice of perfection. no team has won a title without a loss on its record since indiana in 1976. gonzaga would be just the eighth school ever to accomplish the feat. >> another one -- yes. >> reporter: the match-up with baylor in the championship is the first time in more than 15 years that the country's top two-ranked teams will face off for the title. >> we're all connected, all united. >> reporter: for the bears, it's the culmination of an unimaginable journey. following the murder of one player by another in 2003, the . scott drew was later hired as head coach, tasked with rebuilding the program. >> every day you're grinding, and you don't look back. you keep pressing forward. >> reporter: now they have the chance to reach history of college basketball. he particular over the program

that was completely scandalized by his predecessors. the program was dead, and for him to build up this program -- a massive achievement by one of the great coaches in the game right now. >> and i love this, a couple of other notes -- if gonzaga wins, it's going to be the first men's basketball championship for washington. if it's baylor, the lone champ, texas western 1966, an historic win. the first team ever to have five black players in a championship. that changed all of basketball and recruiting. good luck picking. >> i love the back story. they both have great back stories. the game on saturday, i kennept rewinding, slow motion, just to see jalen jump on the table again. how did he do that? >> he said he had watched lebron james and dwyane wade celebrate and wanted to do it. some knew it was going in --

"beautiful things" comes out tomorrow published by gallery books, an imprint of simon & schuster, which is a division of viacomcbs. we spoke with biden about the role he says anxiety and trauma played in pushing him to alcohol and crack. >> most people have gone through what i've gone through are either dead or in jail. >> hunter biden's battle with addiction began with a feeling of loneliness he says he's felt

since he was a child. >> it's the feeling of never fitting in. it's that hole and you don't know what it is exactly. >> where do you think that feeling came from? >> i am more convinced now that trauma is at the center of it. >> which trauma? the loss of your mother? >> yeah. absolutely. and i don't know why i have such a hard time ever admitting that. >> hunter's mother, neilia biden, and his 1-year-old sister, naomi, were killed in a car crash in 1972. he and his older brother, beau, just 2 and 3 at the time, were critically injured but survived. their father was sworn in to his first term as a senator by their hospital bedside. >> i think there's a lot of research now that points to the idea almost all who suffer from addiction have a serious trauma in their lives.

>> beau and i, biden writes, never really grieved the loss of our mother or our baby sister. you didn't talk about it with your dad? >> we talked about my mom all the time with my dad. but the actual accident, no. the darkness that i know my dad suffered afterwards was not something that we necessarily lked about until much later. >> do you wish you had now? >> no. and this is where i am -- it's hard. this is why i don't want to admit that we probably should have. i think they were trying to protect us. >> the book chronicles biden's lifelong struggles with alcohol and cocaine. at one point he managed to stay clean for more than seven years. but when his brother beau died of brain cancer in 2015, hunter began a four-year descent that the darkest period of his

addiction, what he calls a blur of complete and utter debauchery. >> drinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating. >> that was just the beginning. smoking crack around the clock, drinking lethal amounts of alcohol. >> we want biden. we want the son, hunter. where is hunter? >> by 2019 he'd become a target of the trump campaign. >> 10% held by hunter for the big guy. i wonder who the big guy was. >> it didn't change my behavior in any way. i still needed to get high. i still needed to hide. i still needed to fill that hole. >> as his father was planning a presidential run, biden, who had left behind three daughters and a failed marriage, was living out of roadside motels chasing his next fix. then the family planned a dramatic intervention, disguised as an invitation to a family

dinner. why did you agree to go? >> my mom said she missed me. dad really needs you. >> you weren't in any condition to go? >> no. i walk in and there are my three girls, my niece and nephew, my mom and dad, and two counselors from a rehab center i'd been to before. and i looked and i said, not a chance. no way. >> you exploded? >> exploded. literally began to run up the driveway. >> and your father chased you. >> yeah. and he grabbed me in a hug, grabbed me, a bear hug, and he said -- just cried and said, i don't know what to do. i don't know what to do. >> what did you think when you heard that? >> i thought i need to figure out a way to tell him that i'm

going to do something so that i can go take another hit. it's the only thing i could think. i don't know of a force more powerful than my family's love except addiction. i said i was going to go get help. booked the next flight to los angeles and decided that i was going to completely disappear forever. >> but before he disappeared, biden agreed to an interview with "the new yorker." >> part of the thing that saved me, though, i started to tell my story. >> a lot of people saw that "new yorker" article and thought, why are you doing this to your dad right now? >> yeah. i looked at it as i was going to take away their ammunition. the one thing that i thought that they would try to use against him was my drug addiction. this idea that i was a crack addict. >> yeah. you wanted to put it out there before they could use it against you, against your father? >> exactly.

and no one in the campaign knew i was because i knew they'd say no. >> what happened next biden calls a miracle. on a blind date he met melissa cohen, an aspiring filmmaker from south africa. they had an instant connection. >> and i told her an hour later, i'm a crack addict. >> and she didn't run away? >> she said, well, that ends now. >> did you think it was your last chance? >> yes. i knew it was my last chance. >> just seven days later, they were married. last year their son beau was born. with melissa's help, hunter biden began to repair the damage, one of the deepest wounds to his family, the affair he had with his brother's widow, hallie, just after beau's death. a lot of people look at that and think, what were you thinking? >> yeah. >> what were you thinking? >> both of us had gone through

the most incredibly painful loss, and it was out of love, and i thought maybe that love would bring my brother back. >> mm-hmm. >> and it didn't work. >> in the middle of that did you think about how your own kids would look at this? >> yeah, and it was hard. that's all i can say. it was really hard. >> in the nearly two years he says he's been sober, hunter biden has tried to make amends. >> the hardest amend for me to make was to my brother. >> because you couldn't make that in person? >> i had made a promise to him that i would be okay. >> you felt like you let him down? >> yeah. >> so how do you make peace with that?

>> live every day in honor of that. being a purpose and of service to other people that i know is what i need to do. >> you know, as you read this book, there are moments when you get, honestly, infuriated because he keeps making bad decisions, and before this interview, i called a friend of mine who had been through addiction and recovery. and i said, please explain this to me because i don't understand. and he made the point that hunter makes when he was confronted by his father in that driveway. he said the thing you need to understand there is nothing more powerful than addiction, not even your family's love. he said for you to understand what he went through, you have to understand that. and that was the point of empathy i found for him. as you see, he's made a lot of very dubious judgments over time, and you struggle to come to terms with that. >> his father was certainly there for him all the time.

his mom, dr. jill biden, his mom, too, seemed to never have given up on him. >> he's never doubted his parents' love. his father intervened before the incident he describes there at one point in washington and literally saved him then, too. >> if it's possible to pull the politics out of it, i'm left with tremendous sympathy by a family ripped and wounded by this. no matter how good a parent you are or how bad a parent you are this can happen to your family. and we're seeing it play out in very public detail. >> absolutely true. >> some people were questioning the timing of the book. i think right in the middle -- at the beginning of the biden administration -- >> yeah. i wondered about that. >> is this cathartic for him in some way? >> that's what my friend told me. the thing you need to understand when you say this all aloud, he alluded to it about "the new yorker" article, being honest with himself was very cathartic. and he said that's what this book means to him. it's part of the catharsis.

>> if it helps him get better, i'm sure joe biden is all about it as a father. >> he has family support. ahead, capitol police say they need help. a new deadly attack leaves officers to rethink their service while congress reconsiders how to protect its

washington, d.c., is on edge this morning after that friday attack on the u.s. capitol. a capitol police officer was killed, and another injured after a man rammed his car into them at a security barricade. the attack raises new questions about balancing security on capitol hill with the need to keep the area open to visitors. our jeff pegues is outside the capitol this morning with an answer to the question that is

ever changing -- what does it look like these days? good morning to you. what do you see? >> reporter: well, tony, it's back to business as usual here. the capitol is secure this morning, and you can see that behind me. after friday's attack, the capitol police union wants congress to step up security as fast as it can, and the question is will it happen? after friday's attack there is another situaton here where capitol police officers are reeling. >> it is very surreal. >> reporter: jason laforest is a childhood friend of capitol police officer william evans known as billy, who was killed friday when a blue sedan plowed into him and another officer near the capitol. evans, a 41-year-old father of two, had worked as a capitol police officer for 18 years. >> he loved to meet the people that came to the u.s. capitol and to serve the lawmakers, many of whom he knew quite well. >> reporter: the other officer injured, ken shaver, was

released from the hospital saturday. police shot and killed the attacker, 25-year-old noah green, after he emerged from the vehicle with a knife. retired lieutenant general russell honore who was leading a security review of the capitol following the january 6th insurrection said the building has become a greater target. >> whether it's personally motivated or dominated by some idealogy, at the end of the day, 24/7, 365, the capitol police have to be ready to protect the capitol. >> reporter: lawmakers are grappling with how to deal with capitol security while keeping the building accessible to the public. security measures put in place after january 6th have been scaled back. the number of national guard troops has been reduced in the outer most layer of fencing removed. senator roy blunt says the rest of the fencing should come down. >> i think it would be a mistake for fencing to be a permanent part of the capitol. the idea that what happens next

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time to bring you some of the stories that are "talk of the table" this morning. and gayle king, you're up first. >> normally i have a happy story, but not today. we're very worried about this. a prayer vigil is planned tonight for earl simmons, known as dmx. his lawyer says he's been hospitalized outside new york city after he had a heart attack at his home in westchester county on friday. the attorney says he's not sure at this time what caused the heart attack. dmx is 50 years old. his family says the rapper remains in hay coma and is on a ventilator. his lawyer says i'd be lying if i said i wasn't very, very worried. he's had a difficult life. he, too, has struggle with drug addiction. a lot of issues in his life.

no one can deny the effect that he had on the music industry and the culture. we're hoping this has a g to new york, so i've got a solution for them. there's a company that has launched a new line of candles based on the street-inspired scents of new york city. >> oh, gosh -- >> anthony, wait. it's not what you think. >> afternoon in central park -- >> afternoon in central park. these are positive scents. that incorporates hints of grass -- >> could have gone many ways -- >> hints of grass and bergamot. i don't know how to say it. hot roasted nut cart, burnt sugar, a familiar scent around the holidays. soft serve from the corner truck featuring vanilla and sugar. and this is my favorite, bodega coffee, like a corner store here in new york. a blend of espresso and cream flavor. the culture's founder was born

here -- company's founder was born here. you're laughing because there are other smells in new york. >> because they didn't include corner dumpster on a 90-degree summer day. that one -- >> if anyone's curious about the other smells, there's a 10-year-old article in "new york" magazine called "the smelliest block in new york" which pinpoints it and goes into great detail. >> everyone knows i love my city. there are smells beside those. speaking of things getting going again -- entertainment venues in new york were allowed to open on friday for the first time since the pandemic. the gotham comedy club opened its doors with a surprise headliner -- jerry seinfeld. he actually asked to be the first on stage for the club's reopening friday. here's what he had to say after the show -- >> i love this club, and i love performing in new york. so i try -- i didn't want to get emotional, but i'm really excited to be helping to bring it back. >> i love that he was wearing a mets cap.

opening day, folks. no, jerry seinfeld's lived in new york for 44 years. he wrote an op-ed in the middle of the pandemic when people were saying new york was dead and over. this is his way of saying, we ain't dead, we're back. and i love that he did it. >> people want to see jerry seinfeld. i not that's a good thing. we are very excited about our next guest. she is actress deborah ayorinde. she stars as lucky emery in the upcoming -- her name is lucky -- in the upcoming amazon original horror series called "them." she's appeared in films like, you might have seen her in "girls trip" or "how about harriet," and the netflix series "luke cage." "them" is about a black family that moves from the jim crow south to an all-white los angeles neighborhood in the 1950s. the home becomes a threat from violence. here's a look. >> she's looking right at you. can't you see her?

♪ >> ooh. >> don't go into the basement. >> "them" will be available on friday on amazon prime video. deborah ayorinde joins us now first on "cbs this morning." welcome to you, deborah. i was so excited to talk to you because i've seen the first three episodes. i'm going to talk about that in a second. my son and daughter texased me about an hour ago and said there was an earthquake in los angeles. did you by chance feel anything?

>> yes, i did. and i thought i was crazy at first. and then i found out i wasn't. so yes, i felt it. i felt it. >> yeah. registered a four, but it -- sounds very small, but they said it was -- you could really feel it, that it was a little frightening. did it scare you, too? >> yes it did. you never get used to earthquakes. everything was shaking around me. yes. it was definitely -- >> okay. i'm glad you're okay. glad everybody's okay. but boy, oh, boy, let's talk about your series. this is the thing, deborah, imagine me watching this -- i didn't know anything about it. so when i saw the title "them," i thought it was going to be about aliens and creatures. and when i started watching it, i had to make a shift very quickly as to what was happening on the screen because this is the thing -- it's so beautifully done but also so heartbreaking to watch. it -- it still is still sitting with me. and i watched it on saturday, and i'm still rattled by it. i want to know what it was like to play this character. did it get into your bones?

>> yes. it did. you know, playing lucky was honestly a blessing because she allowed me to uncover a lot of buried emotions and feelings that i had, that didn't even realize i had, from just experiencing a lot of, you know, the racism, the sexism, the microaggression, the macroaggression, over time you just kind of bury it, and you just show up. and you show up and you show up. and you know, lucky required that i uncover all of that and use that to -- to speak life to her story. and so it was just -- it was a difficult blessing. >> yeah. hey, that's a good way to put it. i'm thinking at the end of the day, what a great character to play. she's a loving wife, a mother, you know, she's -- she has good friends, but she also is dealing with these neighbors who clearly don't want you there. so she has some -- so many moments where she's like, oh,

not today, i'm not taking this today. so what a great character for you to play, as well. >> exactly. and you know, it just shows -- i think you mentioned a beautiful thing about the fact that the black love, you know, the love between lucky and henry and the love they have for their children is a huge part, as well. and it just -- i mean, just to play a character that is so layered, resonates with who i am as a black woman, it was such a blessing. >> let's talk about horror, too, being an effective use to talk about racism. i never thought about this, your home is supposed to be your sanctuary, your safe place. but also becomes a very menacing place, too. >> right. i think so two things -- one, i mean, racism is horrifying oftentimes. >> yes. >> and i think we speak to that.

but also i think having our home be also ground zero for a lot of the evil that happened, it speaks to how the experiences can kind of sneak in on the inside and affect the family unit. you have to think a lot of these people that were going through this at this level at that time were experiencing all these things and still had to parent and still had to, you know, be a good spouse or just live. and so having horror be the way we explored this story, it just makes it -- it makes sense. it makes sense. it makes sense. >> i've read, too, that you experienced as yourself as a lttle girl being the other. i love the title, by the way, "them." them could also apply from the black family's point of view talking about the white neighbors who were really horrible to them. and then from the white neighbors looking at the black family who they said, you know,

we really don't want you here. but i read as a little girl that you also experienced being the other, too. i would imagine that that would trigger things, as well. >> it definitely did. >> how were you the other, deborah? >> you know, being nigerian and coming -- my family and i moved from london to the bay area when i was very young. and i remember when i first went to the school i was put in, i had a thick british accent still. i was nigerian, i'm dark skinned, i didn't look like any of the kids, i didn't sound like any of the kids. i was already really shy. so i just -- it was terrifying for me. i would eat lunch in the bathroom every day, i would fake stomach aches so my mom would take me home from school early. move me to a school near to the house so i'd feel more comfortable. it was a really hard experience. i didn't feel -- i felt like a

fish out of water. and so just the experience of being them, you don't have to look very far in the world to see that people are really fighting to not be seen as other, you know. and the things that they will do just to not be seen as them, it's crazy. and so i've since learned to embrace what makes me unique and makes me different. but at the time as a kid, all you want to do is fit in. all you want to do -- as a means to not be bullied, you want to fit in. it was really, really hard. >> deborah, it's tony dokoupil. while we talk things that are difficult, there's one scene that's not available in the four episodes. you describe as literally the hardest thing i've had to do to date. the hardest thing? what can you tell us about it? >> so, yes, it comes in the middle of the season, and it -- it required every single bit of me and then some because i wanted to make sure that i

played it as authentically as possible, because i wanted anyone who had experienced even a fraction of what lucky experiences in that scene to feel seen, to feel heard, to be believed. but it stays with me still to this day, it stays with me. and i just -- i just really, really hope that someone who sees it, they're set free in some type of way. >> whoa. deborah, now i -- i really am intrigued. listen, of the three episodes i've seen, i've seen some things that just -- i don't know, just sort of took me out, i have to say. see something that's even worse than what i've seen so far. that's a great tease. and you should know, over 2.5 million people, tony was telling me, have already looked at the trailer. there's interest. it's hard to watch, but i think people should watch it. it's very, very well done. thank you, deborah. you're great in it. thank you, thank you so much. >>

as carter evans reports, he is focusing on offering free courses on college campuses. if the tech talent pipeline isn't working, we decided that we were going to rebuild that pipeline. >> reporter: michael ellison knows firsthand how difficult it is to break into the tech industry. he grew up with a single mom in rural maine and was homeless at times. but he excelled at math and was encouraged to study computer science in college. >> i was sitting in a classroom spending 30 hours to complete an assignment that kids standing next to me were taking, say, two to four hours. i just felt like i wasn't smart enough to major in cs. >> reporter: he dropped out of the program after his freshman year. >> if you're an underrepresented minority, if you're coming from a low-income background, the system's not designed for you. >> reporter: he says one of the main problems is that underrepresented minorities have more likely to attend computer science programs with outdated classes in limited resources. >> what if you're a computer science student and you're

attending a school where your professors can't pass the technical interviews? you don't have enough people to teach the basic stuff let alone the cutting edge tech nothings. >> reporter: he got his career and worked with startups that focused on tech education. one built a training program for facebook, google, and netflix called code path and ready rallized it could fill the gaps at colleges. now students at 60 schools can take part in app development and cybersecurity. >> i wanted to be able to learn mobile development for ios because i feel like that's a great skill to have. today is a panel, and we have some people in the industry talking to us. >> we just finished up with lab. we discussed the assignment for this week. and it looks like we're going to build a clone of instagram. i think it's looking pretty good. >> reporter: code path also helps prepare students for their first tech job interview.

more than half of those in the program are minority or first-generation college students, including 20-year-old fawziyah alebiosu who studies computer science in maryland. >> i was hooked. i really was because i learned about android development, something my school doesn't have courses about. and i got to talk to people who are already in the industry like android engineers. it's been so helpful to know what companies are looking for, especially when you don't know any computer scientists ain you life. >> if we're not intentional about inclusion we're unintentionally excluding. >> reporter: stanford teach cynthia lee created a course called race and gender in silicon valley. she says programs like code path can help address the main factors that have hurt minority job candidates trying to break into the industry. >> the most important would be the hiring interview process, as well as the places where recruiters look. >> reporter: how likely are code path graduates to get jobs?

>> if you are, say, a black computer science today is code path, 43 times more likely to be able to get a job at one of the most competitive tech companies. >> reporter: he says landing a job is just the first step. >> we unapologetically are not just trying to get people in somewhere, we're trying to get them can you lead a technology company, can you be someone who's founding tech startups? if you want to talk about racial equity, you have to talk about systemic change. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," carter evans, san francisco. >> 43 times more likely to get a job. that's an effective program. >> yes. that typing you hear is people trying to figure out how can i sign up for code path. i always thought learning code would be fascinating. >> a lot of smart people that that. >> i loved her. jumping out of her skin. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. stay with us.
