7:00 am
week. thanks so much. thanks for watching kpix5 news. don't forget the news continues all day on cbsn bay area. >> cbs this morning good morning to you, our viewers in the west. welcome to "cbs this morning." ready for another week? yeah, you are. it's monday, may 3rd, 2021. i'm gayle king, that's anthony mason and tony dokoupil. here we go. at least four people are dead and dozens hurt after a boat capsized off the coast of san diego. why officials think it was a human smuggling operation. it's a big week for reopening across the country as vaccinations go up and covid numbers down. but some states are still seeing increases in infections and officials aren't quite sure why. a florida school principal paddles a 6-year-old while her mother captured the whole thing on video. the police are not involved.
7:01 am
after the first nighttime splashdown in 52 years, spacex is looking to its next big milestone. we talk to the four americans who will soon be the first all-civilian career to go into space. >> very exciting. but first here's today's "eye opener," it's your world in 90 seconds. >> this has been a monumental achievement rolling out this vaccine. >> as new coronavirus cases slow down here in the u.s., india hitting new peaks. >> there's a travel ban on travel from india. do you think that's a good idea? >> if the goal is prevent production of the new variant circulating in india, i assure you, it's here already so we cannot prevent its introduction. >> a boat believed to be filled with migrants capsized and broke apart near san diego. >> this was a mass rescue operation that turned into a mass casualty incident. secretary of state antony blinken spoke to "60 minutes." >> will the biden administration
7:02 am
close guantanamo bay? >> that's certainly a goal but something we will bring to focus in the months ahead. the trooned tore through mississippi and louisiana, causing widespread destruction in some areas. caitlyn jenner, now running for governor of california, said she opposes transgender girls participating in boys sports in schools. and all of that matters -- >> it takes a team of highly skilled, dedicated, hard-working individuals. >> spacex made hstry once again! the first crew to complete a mission using the futuristic dragon capsule lands safely. >> on "cbs this morning." >> during the sixth round of the 2021 nfl draft, a kansas city chiefs' fan had a big announcement of his own. >> you're the jigsaw piece whose curvy edges complete my life. will you marry me? >> i don't know if you saw it there, all with a ring pop. and she did say yes to the
7:03 am
proposal! this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. a giant diamond, it a ring pop. >> a nice touch. >> i like that. you're the curvy edges that complete my puzzle. >> yeah. >> well done. >> well done indeed. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with dramatic video highlighting the often terrible risks of human trafficking. a suspected smuggling vessel packed with people ran aground yesterday near san diego. more than two dozen suspected migrants were aboard the 40-foot boat, and four people died. rescuers acted . and we're outside the hospital that are treating some of the injured. >> 27 people were brought to hospitals like this one with a wide variety of injuries, including hypothermia from the
7:04 am
frigid water. local officials say they believe this was a human smuggling operation and incidents like this are dramatic. they also say the captain of the boat is now in custody. this is all that's left of the 40-foot cabin cruiser after it crashed into a reef and broke apart sunday morning. >> ship kind of capsized. we saw people jumping in. >> reporter: off-duty navy sailor foy happened to be nearby with his family and said his military training kicked in when he jumped into the water to help. >> we pulled everybody on board we could, conscious or unconscious. everybody panicking. no one spoke any english. >> reporter: you can see at least one person attempting to jump off the vessel. >> we are like jump, you have to get off the boat.
7:05 am
>> reporter: they pulled victims from the water and conducted cliff rescues as well. >> there were people in the water drowning, getting sucked out the rip current there. there were people on shore and cpr in progress down below with multiple people injured. >> this was a mass rescue situation that turned into a mass casualty incident. >> reporter: border patrol said there's every indication this was a smuggling vessel. apprehensions of those smuggling by sea were up more than 90% this year and officials say they are seeing a similar increase this year as well. brittany said she wanted to record what was happening in case they were undocumented migrants. >> people are really risking their lives to come into this country and we just wanted to advocate that shouldn't be happening. >> reporter: brittany told me when she posted this video, her intention was to raise awareness about human rights and also about the need for immigration reform. if the people on the boat were, in fact, undocumented, it's still unclear how border authorities will react.
7:06 am
they did say that this boat is different and bigger than the ones generally used for smuggling. presumably as a way to avoid being detected. >> thank you very much, lilia. the biden administration says it is making progress at the southern border, where the number of unaccompanied migrant children in custody has fallen dramatically. homeland security security officials say u.s. customers and border protection held 677 children over the weekend. that's an 88% drop from march when the agency had a record 5,700 lone minors in custody. dhs secretary alejandro my arcos joins us first on "cbs this morning." good morning to you, mr. secretary. >> good morning. pleasure to be here. thank you. >> we're glad you're here. we're going to get to the numbers in a second. first, we want to start with the story that lilliana just reported about the -- it appears to be a case of human smuggling. what can you tell us about what happened here? >> we are interdicting
7:07 am
individuals who are trafficked by human smugglers both on land and at sea. and it is a powerful and unfortunately tragic example of the manner in which human smugglers exploit vulnerable individuals. it is why we so often and so powerfully articulate that one should not take the dangerous journey. we are building lawful pathways for individuals to access our asylum system as the law provides. a tragic example of what human smugglers do to people in need. >> it is tragic. i hear you say, look, we tell people don't come, but they continue to come. how do you make it stop? especially since we're hearing that the cases are now on the rise? >> we have a multi-part strategy in this administration. the vice president is leading an effort to address the root
7:08 am
causes in the source countries in the northern triangle, guatemala, honhonduras, and el salvador, to assist those countries in building the infrastructure and the capacity so people do not feel forced to flee their homes. we are addressing the human smugglers and, of course, we are providing for asylum relief for those who qualify. >> secretary mayorkas, one of the concerns is unaccompanied minors at the border being allowed to stay in this country. there was a record in march in terms of crossings from that group. was it also a record? apr -- record in april? and i do see your message of "do not come" is making a difference? >> we made a very important decision that we would not continue to expel unaccompanied children as the trump administration did. in late march, are you correct, the numbers were extraordinarily high. we had over 5,700 young children
7:09 am
unaccompanied in the custody of the border patrol. now as of yesterday, we had under 700. it's an extraordinary achievement, and it speaks of the commitment and capabilities of the men and women at the department of homeland security and the teamwork with health and human services. >> but does -- >> we are addressing the needs of children. >> does that reflect a reduction in the number of people coming over the border, or just an increase in how quickly you can move people out of your custody into health and human services' custody and then to sponsors? >> we don't have the april numbers yet. we should have those cumulatively within a day or two. the numbers remain high, whether they are as high as march is yet undetermined. but it really speaks to the reengineering and operationalizing of the process. i said in march that we have a plan, we're executing on the plan, and that it takes time. we are seeing those results in just 30 days. >> we're hearing that there's good news from your department
7:10 am
this morning, that -- you all have reunited four families -- four children, rather, who were separated from their families under the trump administration. is that true? >> that is indeed true. we expect four families to be reunited tomorrow. >> how were you able to get them together? >> two of those families -- >> this is very important. >> so this is the work of, once again, the extraordinary commitment in an all of government effort following the president's charge that this is a priority. president biden said we must reunite these families. he directed the creation of a task force of multiple departments and agencies in an all of government effort. we are working very closely with the american civil liberties union that has been representing the families since its incepton and other community-based organizations.
7:11 am
this is really about an all-in public/private partnership to reunite the families and begin the healing. very proud -- >> that's four kids. how many more are left -- how much more are left, secretary, and then we've got to go. i'm glad we're making progress on this. how many kids left? the. >> we have hundreds left. we have hundreds of families left, and we will reunite them all. >> all right. secretary mayorkas, thank you for your time this morning. more than a dozen tornadoes slammed mississippi overnight. some of them massive. this video was taken about an hour outside jackson. you can see the storm downing trees and tossing debris into the air as it made its way across yazoo county. vernal eventually it took out the drone that captured this footage. the storm brought down power lines causing near misses for homes and businesses. emergency crews worked overnight to clear roads and check on houses. amazingly there are no reports of any deaths or injuries.
7:12 am
there are new signs of life getting back to normal as covid fears recede in much of this country. thousands packed the stands on saturday for the kentucky derby. a lot of them were wearing hats after there were no spectators last year. the nfl draft was held in person following last year's virtual event. we saw a proposal there. in california, disneyland reopened to in-state visitors for the first time in more than a year. everybody had their mickey ears. new covid infections are down in 23 states, and more than 100 million americans are fully vaccinated. . why are numbers still up there? >> health officials are trying to unravel this story. they say people unwilling to get vaccinated may be part of the
7:13 am
problem here. this state leads the country in new infections. the new governor said she understands restrictions will be difficult, especially for businesses who only just reopened, but she believes these measures are critical to saving hundreds of lives. at the portland international airport, staffers are working to vaccinate as many people as possible, the best weapon oregon officials believe is the best against the covid surge. and science university. >> it's hard to see another surge coming now especially since so many of the hospitalized patients now are younger and requiring the most intensive interventions. >> reporter: throughout much of the pandemic, oregon managed to keep its cases and death numbers low. but over the past five weeks, new infections have climbed more than 20% each week, and in the past week, hospitalizations have nearly doubled. state health officials have determined the uk variant, now the dominant strain in the u.s., is one of the factors driving the increase.
7:14 am
>> we believe that the variants are making people sicker, and are spreading more rapidly. exactly why the variants are traveling this way in oregon, i can't say. but definitely is concerning. >> reporter: so concerning, governor kate brown reinstated restrictions including limiting gym capacity and banning indoor dining. >> it's been numbing at this point. we've taken blow after blow. >> reporter: brian mcmenamin who owns several oregon restaurants feels that businesses like his are being unfairly punished. >> all the rules and regulations, the six feet of distancing, the masks, all that stuff, we've been doing a great job. going backwards doesn't seem like the right option now. >> reporter: still, stale health officials say it's an option that's proven effective and one that could help slow the spread until more people in oregon are vaccinated. >> many states still have more vaccinations to do. and as we reach the point where we have more vaccines than people who want to be vaccinated, that leaves room for covid-19 to spread. so i do think there's a
7:15 am
their eyes on that date, july 1st. thank you very much. now to another date, the withdrawal of the last u.s. troops from afghanistan started over the weekend. as it began, the top general said afghan forces in a worst-case scenario could face what he called, quote, bad possible outcomes against the taliban without u.s. assistance. charlie d'agata is in afghanistan for us where he talked with a female mayor who fears a taliban takeover. >> reporter: zarifa knows full well the reach of the taliban even with american troops here. you've had several assassination attempts on your own life. >> yeah. three times. >> reporter: at 27, the youngest mayor in afghanistan, one of the only women to hold the position,
7:16 am
little wonder the taliban wanted her dead. she's flown to d.c. to it receive the international women of courage award. >> i came back, and i stood my ground. [ applause ] >> reporter: and back home, a death sentence from the taliban. [ chants ] she pulled over at a pharmacy for hand sanitizer when gunmen opened fire on her car. >> and they started shooting my car from this way, this way, this way, this way, and then from in front. shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. >> reporter: two more assassination attempts followed. >> just days later they murdered my dad. i never kissed him -- i never -- it was so hard. >> reporter: women especially fear the taliban will retake power and reverse the gains of the past two decades. under the taliban, they were imprisoned inside their own
7:17 am
homes, forced to wear the burqa outside it. dr. nafashou recalls being suffocated. >> we couldn't see our way, how to walk. and i myself, i couldn't breathe even. >> reporter: dr. shafavhan fears the taliban return is inevitable. >> i have three daughters. my daughters are studying what will happen to their lives. >> reporter: she says even if that happens, she'll keep fighting for her country and her freedom. if somebody assassinated my father, i'm not sure i would continue your job. >> but i do. >> reporter: why? >> united states of america. it was not god gift ed, cities build it themselves. >> reporter: as the united states draws down, that fight for women's rights is only going to get harder.
7:18 am
in taliban-held areas, they've already stopped girls from going to school. anthony? >> charlie d'agata with some more powerful reporting from kabul. thank you. >> i was wondering that exact question that charlie asked her. and the way she looked at him and said "i do." >> yeah. that's resolve for you. >> i really admire her determination and her fearlessness really. >> you have to be fearless. >> you really do. really do. >> and you have to appreciate it, too. it's extraordinary. >> how much we take for granted here, too. reminds me dhof that every time. ahead, four american civilians will make history by traveling to space without any professional astronauts on board their

7:31 am
mother and said you need to come to the school and pay $50 because your daughter damaged a computer screen. so the mom went to the school to pay the money, and here's what happened next -- >> no -- put your hands down -- no, no, no, no. >> no -- >> don't do it again, and sit down. >> reporter: that is central elementary principal melissa carter using a paddle to beat a 6-year-old student. as cecilia self, a clerk, holds the girl's hands down. afterwards, the principal berates the child. >> if your mom wants to come up to the school and spank you and we can watch, that's going to happen. >> reporter: the mother says before the beating she was brought into the principal's office. she says she noticed there were no surveillance cameras, so she secretly recorded what happened next with her phone. >> do you understand me? >> yes, ma'am -- >> calm down. >> reporter: this child, who's three feet and weighs 40 pounds, was hyperventilating after she was hit.
7:32 am
the mother spoke to cbs' ft. myers affiliate wink news but didn't want to be identified. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: the mother says she felt she could not intervene and stop the beating because she is undocumented. >> at no time did the mom give permission for anyone including the principal to paddle the child. >> reporter: brent probinsky is the attorney representing the mom. there will be people who watch and don't understand why the mom didn't step in and say "stop doing this to my daughter." do you know why she didn't? >> i asked her that question. why didn't you stop, she said she was frozen with fear. >> reporter: back up isn't it human nature -- but isn't it human nature to want to step in and protect the child? >> i think so. inthink it is. i think the mom was intimidated. the mom didn't expect this to happen. it happened very quickly. and the mom said, i was so
7:33 am
astoun astounded, shocked, i was frozen for a few minutes when she was paddling my child. >> reporter: corporal punishment in schools is legal in 19 states in the u.s. including florida. according to probinsky, 20 of 67 counties allow corporal punishment, but it is not allowed in hindry county where this happened. >> this is child abuse. she should be charged with a crime and suffer those consequences. >> sit down! >> reporter: he wts to make sure the principal never works at another school. he also says she's now on administrative leave from the school. he also says the state attorney is investigating. our cbs affiliate in ft. myers is reporting that the police department has investigated, as well. i want you to know we called the principal and the clerk but couldn't reach either one of them. i didn't know it was legal -- >> so many questions. >> as a legal question, yes. there are states where it's legal. county to county may be different. there's no federal law. but the cdc position is that physical punishment is child abuse. so in academic circles, when it
7:34 am
comes to child psychologists, there's no debate here. >> i'm with the attorney. yof i don't know how she has a job. the wind-up -- the way she threw her arm back to whack that little girl. i see that the mother was afraid but i, too, am wondering, even with your fear -- it is your instinct not to let anybody do that to your child. >> if she has a paddle that big in her office -- >> boy -- >> better be cutting sandwiches with that -- >> makes you believe she's done this before. >> so hard to watch. >> something else that will be familiar to people who had this in their lives, when someone is hyperventilating, calm down. >> i thought that, too. what is going to happen -- david, what is going to happen with the principal? i'm so rattled by this. >> reporter: that's the question. we're told the department of education in florida is going to make a ruling so to speak, and the school district will act on it. >> i hope it's based on the research. >> yeah. i hope so, too. thank you. >> thank god there's video. coming up, meet the four americans who are set to make history as the first

8:04 am
find some common ground on infrastructure. is there common ground to be found, do you think? >> well, let me set the table for you just a little bit on this. remember what's happened to us in just the past year. we've gone through a worldwide pandemic. we've had a racial reckoning, an armed insurrection, we now have a new president, and we have passed a historic rescue package. we have our toes set on what happens to change america, what kind of america we want to build going forward. and so often in washington the doors to change are just locked tight. but right now they're open. they're open just a crack, but people across this country want to see us make change. they want to see a government that is investing in opportunity for everybody. and part of that is building an infrastructure that really lets people get to work and produce
8:05 am
and keep this economy on a positive note. that's what my book is about because it's about the next 100 days, what we need to do. >> but senator -- >> republicans, democrats, we all need to be in this fight. >> but, senator, republicans say the price of this bill is way too high, the difference on the two proposals is miles apart. can you meet somewhere in the middle there? and, if not, are you prepared to go through the budget reconciliation process again? >> i am prepared to go to budget reconciliation. i'm somebody who thinks the filibuster should not be used to give republicans a veto on things this country needs. but keep in mind the things we're talking about. we're talking about roads and bridges, we're talking about child care. democrats and republicans across this nation need roads and bridges. democrats and republicans across this nation need child care. there is bipartisan support for
8:06 am
the changes that we need to make. and the idea that there are folks in washington who don't want to do it, that just means the rest of us need to get out there and get in the fight and push our elected representatives in washington so that we make the investments in this country that we need to make going forward. >> so, senator warren, you're right, there is bipartisan support out there in the country for a lot of the things in the democrats' bill, and the argument against it from washington is it's going to add too much to the national debt. it's going to somehow bankrupt the next generation, we should hon the country like a ehold. you know this stuff better than most senators. simple question, does the deficit really matter these days? >> so, look, why is it that republicans talk about the deficit only when democrats are talking about let's invest in child care and canceling student loans and making sure we have care for the elderly? either you have a matter of principle that you think it's
8:07 am
always a problem or you don't. we're coming out of a really serious economic hole. it's good, frankly, for us to be spending, to be putting money into people's pockets, and to be building infrastructure. but i do want to say there are a lot of ways we can be raising revenue, and we should be raising revenue. we should have a wealth tax. we should have a tax on real corporate profits. and we should enforce the current tax laws on the books. if we did those three things, we have enough money to pay for president biden's infrastructure bill, his family care giving bill, and still have a couple of trillion dollars left over. >> in your book, "persists," senator, you get personal and candid in ways we haven't seen before. >> i do. >> you even told the story, as cliche as it is, a young law student, a professor literally chasing you around the desk, sitting in the orthodontist's
8:08 am
office, and the dentist asked you as you're reading the law book, is your husband a lawyer? and you said, no. is your wife an orthodontist? which i thought was very funny, by the way. you said in 2020 you had to get -- how did you phrase it -- in 2020 losing was new for you and it was painful and it hurt and it stung. so how did you get through that? how did you process that? you tell a great conversation of you and your husband sitting on the couch where he says, i think you're going to pull this off. so this hurt you deeply. how did you get through it? >> you know, i did what millions of people across this country have done, particularly over the last year, and that is you take that moment when you look at yourself and say, why am i in this fight? why do i do this? why do i get up in the morning? what keeps me up late at night? and for me, it's about the fights that drew me into the presidential race. i care about child care. i care about canceling student
8:09 am
loans. and so it wasn't so much about, well, i lost so i'm through. no, it's i'm lost so i need to find other ways to continue this fight because the need for child care is as great as ever. the need for a wealth tax is as great as ever. the need to cancel student loan debt is as great as ever. so the book is about the very personal stories. it's about the stories of people i love, but that's what keeps me in this fight every single day. >> you also -- it was a voter, a supporter, who gave you the impe impetus to keep going. you walk out and there is what? i love this. >> people had taken chalk and started writing on the sidewalk our house. the morning i dropped out of the race, i opened the door and there in two-foot-high letters, i am not going to miss this, heavily chalked in is the word persist.
8:10 am
and it was like a bucket of cold water in the face. and i thought, that's right. i know why i got in the fight, running for president, and i'm still in that fight. i persist. >> yeah, you are still fighting. you are still persisting. the book, you talk about sectiosectixism in your own career, in your life. you give people a lot to think about in this book.

may is asian pacific american heritage month, and first on "cbs this morning," we're revealing a record-breaking investment in aapi causes. the asian american foundation is being launched today with $125 million in funding. that is the biggest commitment ever by asian americans into their own community. it comes as a new report shows that anti-asian hate crimes surged more than 160% in the first three months of 2021 compared with the same period last year. sonal shah is the foundation's president and actor and producer daniel dae kim is co-founder of the advisory council. this is a very big deal. $125 million. sonal, as the founding president of the organization, what do you plan to do with that money? >> good morning, and it's so great to be here. and welcome to asian pacific heritage month.
8:18 am
it's fantastic. we are going -- we are an incubator, a convener, and a funder. when we think about where we want to fund, one, we want to fund anti-hate crimes, want to make sure that we're supporting our communities, want to make sure we're supporting the organization that's have been doing all the work on the ground. two, we want to fund data and research. data and research, we need to know what's happening in our communities and make sure we can fund it. we're going to fund data and research. three, education. we want to make sure asian american education is part of the american story. and that's really our focus. >> why is there coming out now? was it something in the works prior to the past 12 to 14 months of these public and awful incidents, attacks on asian americans? >> well, we've been watching the -- sorry, daniel -- >> go ahead. >> we've been watching the anti-asian hate incidents and watching what's been happening last year and realized that we need to create an organization, our board, and our chairman especially really took the initiative and said we need bring people together and make sure we're funding.
8:19 am
so we did that. and when -- when atlanta happened, we went into action een faster. we were just doing strategy and like, we have to launch now. and our board committed $125 million. i mean, that's an incredible investment on their part, to asian american causes. >> daniel, what does this money need to go to urgently? what's the most important agenda here? >> i think given what the community has been going through, the initial investments have been going to organizations that are dedicated to stopping anti-asian hate. there have been a number of investments already placed, and all of them are to try to help our local communities battle some of these issues that we're facing. >> you know, when you talk about what the community has been going through, daniel, it's heartbreaking and also blood boiling at the same time. i'm wondering about you personally, has it changed how you move in the world these days? do you find that you are concerned for your own safety? or people that you care about?
8:20 am
has it changed how you move? >> it has changed some things. you know, my parents are in california, i have a sister who's had her own experience with anti-asian violence. and you know, i have kids. so it -- you know, seeing the number of people and the kind of people who have been attacked over the past year has really affected how -- how i see our ability to move around and be free and to be considered american. >> what do you do differently? >> you know, for instance, my wife -- my wife doesn't like to travel alone anymore. she's -- she makes sure that she's always with a friend. the same with my parents. i make sure that they're traveling together or with friends. and you know, when they're walking in cities like new york or los angeles, they make sure that they're not -- they're not wearing headphones or ipods or ear buds, and they're always

aware of their surroundings at all times. >> even as we keep concerns front of mind and sonal, i'd love you to weigh in, it's interesting that you say we should not only mark asian american heritage month but celebrate it, key word celebrate. why do you put that in the foreground? daniel, you can go -- sonal, you go first, then we'll go back to daniel. i should be directing traffic. sonal, go ahead. >> i think it's so important to recognize that we are such a diverse community of asian americans. we are 40 different ethnicities, 20 different pacific islander communities, that we need to celebrate what we are, too. it's always easy to not recognize, but we all live -- we have very different backgrounds, experiences. and we live different lives, but we are also asian american and have similar experiences. many cases, what you heard from daniel is probably what you're going to hear from a lot of people in the experiences that they've had. we need to celebrate ourselves also, and not just be -- not
8:22 am
just be not seen, we want to make sure people know who we are and that we are part of telling the american story. >> all right. daniel, last word to you. how will you be celebrating this month? >> plenty of ways. there are a lot of things that i'll be doing personally using my platforms. for instance, anyone who decides to show some asian pride on their tiktok or their instagram or facebook orare going to be re-tweeted by me. >> you'll be hearing from vlad duthiers very soon. >> and i think that there's a number of great ways that organizations are coming together and planning events around celebrating us. as sonal said so eloquently, there's a lot that we're going through that's not necessarily positive in our community. but we have a lot to celebrate because we are proud to be american. >> we'll be sure to do some more celebrating, too. daniel dae kim, sonal shah, thank you for joining us. you're watching "cbs this morning."

looking forward to this weekend because he was duke university's class of 2021, he was their keynote commencement speaker. here's what john legend had to say to the class. >> our nation is at its best when we realize that we all do better when we all do better. there are nearly eight billion people on this planet, eight billion strangers. what does it mean to love the people we don't even know? it means letting go of fear and embracing our shared humanity. >> did you hear he say we all do better when we all do better. i love that. when he was here, we asked, john, do you think you're going to sing or anything? he didn't answer that question. he just sort of laughed -- that laugh that he has. and this is what john legend did for duke university 2021 -- ♪ one day when the glory comes ♪ [ cheers ]

8:34 am
hey, d backs, my roommate's on a date six rows above home plate. any chance we could tell the camera to zoom out a bit so i can see how it's going? >> i love this. >> it took a little while for them to figure out where he was. the d-backs tweeted, we got them. body language looks good. they seem comfortable. they just laughed, too. stay tuned for more. >> i love it. >> they kept updating throughout the game. and then there was another note -- they're laughing at something on his phone. we're in trouble, yes, that's right. they got found out. the date said, glad my second date was broadcast to all of twitter. >> oh. >> but on twitter the diamondbacks asked we want to know if there's going to be a third date. >> i think there will be. >> if you go by body language, the body language looks good. look at that. they're sitting there -- >> by the way, baseball games are a great date idea. i took katie to a baseball game on our second date, and there was a third date. and now we have a baby coming. >> now two babies -- >> the way she's leaning in to him. that's good body language. >> sure is.
8:35 am
>> something tells me we'll hear a third date on that story. our next guest, she's a very familiar face on television. critically acclaimed actress, julianna margulies, known for playing strong female leads in hit dramas. she became a household name in the 1990s with a breakout role in the melodrama, i love this show, "er" starring packwood george c auto -- starring opposite george clooney. >> doug? i don't want to wake up alone tomorrow. ♪ >> they were so good together. her character, nurse carol hathaway, does that take me back, was originally -- listen, he was not even supposed to survive past the pilot, but she ended up stealing the audience's haer hearts and won an emmy. she won two more emmys for alicia florrick on the show "the
8:36 am
good wife." in her memoir "sun sunshine girl, an unexpected life," she talks about her life as an actress. i want to talk about "er" but i want to start with your book. you say, listen, you're the youngest of three girls. and you said that when you're the youngest, you admit you got away with a lot of stuff including -- this is -- i found this hard to believe about -- obnoxious and loud in school. you sort of became the class clown to fit in. i just don't see you that way, julianna margulies. what was going on in your brain at that time? >> no. that was -- i think that was -- so i write about that time in my life because it was when i had left england and come back to america, and i was trying to fit in with the kids. and i noticed that a lot of the girls were tomboys. i thought that maybe if i acted like -- more like a boy and i could get attention that way and fit in that way. so for a while, i was actually nicknamed julie-animal. >> yes.
8:37 am
>> as a fourth and -- third and fourth grader. by fifth grade, i started getting crushes on boys and realized that it was much better perhaps not to beat them up but to -- to t and get them to like me. i stopped being julie-animal after that. i was -- i was loud and obnoxious. >> i know, that's hard to believe. boys can be a good thing. you write, too, your life was pretty chaotic. both your mom and your dad were complicated. tell us a little about your background. and yet despite all that, your mom still called you sunshine girl which is where the title of the book comes from. >> yes. my mother named me sunshine girl when i was pretty much a little tiny baby. i was never that tiny because i weighed ten pounds four ounces when i came out. >> wow. >> i don't think you could actually ever call me a tiny, tiny baby. but she named me sunshine girl because i didn't cry, and i was always smiling. and that nickname, although i wore it as a badge of honor for
8:38 am
most of my childhood because i thought, oh, i make people feel good, also could be crippling as i got older and didn't know how to say no to things or was always worried about making someone upset if i said, no, that doesn't work for me, this works for me. so that nickname, i realized as i got older, actually was not -- was not such a badge of honor in my adult life. >> well, listen, you made a lot of headlins when you said no to "er." you had been on the show for six seasons, and they had offered you -- you were leaving, but they offered you $27 million to stay for another two years. i think you were 31, 32 at the time. and you said no to that. i read that, and i thought, gosh, if i was in that position, would i have said no? my answer was, no, i would not have said no. i would have stayed another two years. you turned it down, why? that was unheard of at the time. >> yeah. and i -- i only wrote about it because it -- it seems to have
8:39 am
defined me in this business in a way that i never imagined. so i wrote about it to put it to rest, previously honest with you. i -- to be honest with you. i wanted people to hear my side of the story. everyone had their own ideas of who i was and why i would do something so crazy. and i -- i admit, it's crazy. i'm not -- i'm not stupid. i understand why people were so taken aback by that. so i write about it in the book. and one of the main reasons i said no was, first of all, my six-year contract was over, george clooney and i really were meant to be together on that show. and when he he left in the fifth season and i had one year to go, which i was happy to do, i felt like my time was up. and it was time to pass on to the next person who would play that kind of a character, maybe not nurse hathaway specifically. but carry on in that kind of a role. at least as a head nurse. and i had already secured a
8:40 am
play, john robin bates had written a play called "the ten unknowns" which he had given me the summer before saying he wrote the part with me in mind, would i do it. i had signed on to "the myths of babylon," a four-month job in prague, in the czech republic. and i was going to go and ride horses which i was a horseback rider as a child. i sort of had a year already planned. >> she was booked and busy. you were booked and busy -- >> i was booked and busy. but also, i was ready to come home. i'm a -- a new yorker, i'm from the east coast. and i had been in l.a. for six years, and my parents were here, my family was here. and i had -- i wasn't married. i had already paid my mortgage, to me i was living the life. i thought, this is what i've always dreamed of, of being able to do the work. i was going off to do a play for $235 a week. it's not like i was -- >> that was a big deal. >> i love -- i love that you said in the book everybody said
8:41 am
well -- $27 million, you wouldn't have to work anymore. you thought that's ridiculous, i want to work. >> yeah, that was a strange argument to me. that was pretty much everyone's argument was you'll never have to work again. and i -- i thought, but i -- i love what i do. and "er" has afforded me hopefully, at least at that time, i felt a lifetime of acting. and so these -- all these opportunities were dangling in front of me, and the only thing that would have stopped me from taking them was money. and to me, i mean, my father really helped me with that decision when he said, what if you got hit by a bus while you are waiting for those two years to go by so you could get rich. what would your last thoughts be when you were lying there dying -- >> yeah -- >> lou how did you live your la moments? did you live them truthfully, or were you waiting for money? you don't leave this planet with anything in your pocket but your soul. >> thank you, mr. margulies, we

were tease being george calling you. briefly, we've got to go, what did george say? you said the phone call changed your life. >> yeah. i had come back from doing the pilot. i died in the pilot. my character died in the pilot. i came back from doing the pilot and was about to take another job. george left a message saying, i hear your character tested really well. please don't take another job. i think they're going to offer you a series regular. >> wow. yeah. >> and i took a gamble, and thank god for george. >> thank you, george clooney. also, thank you so much -- do you know how good you have to be, you're going to get killed off in the pilot and they say we should keep her. bring her back to hear. the book is "sunshine girl." it goes on sale
