church of 8 wheels in san francisco as the city turns >> congresswoman liz cheney is firing back against the big lie of the 2020 election. dozens of injuries in a deadly accident on a treadmill by peloton.

why the company is reversing course. and we're revealing the 2021 teacher of the year and also have a very special surprise guest. >> it's a good surprise, i promise. but first here's your "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we may finally be seeing the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. >> the cdc is predicting a drop in covid deaths in the coming weeks. >> every day with the daily cases continuing to fall, we're hopeful about the really encouraging trends. congresswoman liz cheney in an op-ed calling on her own party to abandon president trump. >> there's a midst of a revolution in the republican party. a man shot outside by a police officer being reinstated at the department. >> i'm fighting against the hypocrisy going on. he's been bad on every issue. peloton is agreeing to

recall all of their treadmills now that they caused a death of a child. and -- >> it's going to be exciting. >> kate middleton and prince william is launching a youtube channel. and facebook is houpholding the suspension of president donald trump. >> that's got to be quite an accomplishment. you ban trump and you do nothing else ever. done it! he has no hits. the orioles mobs him. first no-hitter in over 30 years. >> john means makes history. ou

out there -- >> i say it all the time. seeing grown men act like little boys. i like it. the thing about a no hitter is due have to have a team effort. everybody has to be on their game for you to get that. >> and a little luck. that ball at the end of the bat there could have dropped into left field. instead it went right in the glove. for those at home, a no hitter means no hits. all right. we're going to begin with encouraging news on the coronavirus front. it's good news about vaccines. so two of the vaccines at the center of the fight against the coronavirus, moderna now says early trial data shows increased immunity against those dangerous variants first found in brazil and south africa. that's among those who took a booster shot. an experimental new vaccine. meanwhile, a new study shows pfizer's vaccine has proven effective against the uk and south africa variants. >> while the trends are positive in the u.s., halfway around the world there are terrible -- we do mean terrible scenes in india. we are seeing record new cases

there, and the virus is now spreading faster than anyplace else in the world. chris livesay visited a hospital in new delhi. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. as the covid surge continues to kill indians in record numbers, hospitals like this one are struggling desperately just to have enough beds. as we're witnessing, are having to turn the sick away. short of breath, desperate for oxygen and a bed, but here at the private hospital with some of the best resources in new delhi, there are none left. so they send her away. dr. nabil rahmad runs this emergency room converted into extra space for an icu, absolutely crushed with patients. he said they resorted to purchasing their own oxygen privately at exorbitantly high prices amid a shortage nationwide. >> patients come to hospital because they're seriously sick.

they need ventilator support. >> reporter: these patients are extremely sick, but also extremely lucky. lucky to have oxygen. lucky to have access to doctors. lucky just to have a bed in a hospital that's already over capacity, and in a country that's desperately waging a war and losing to covid-19. many of india's victims got infected during recent mass religious gatherings promoted by the hindu nationalist party of prime minister modi as it campaigned in recent state elections. school teachers ordered to oversee voting stations were among the biggest victims. some 700 died of covid. one is the mother of san ysidro -- of shad hasan, now on life support. she says she'll never forget the government for putting her life at risk. >> at this time of crisis, how can you be so stupid?

>> reporter: for most indians, it's even more dire. some dying in line as they plead for oxygen. a hospital bed or even just a place to be laid to rest. keep in mind, india's massive population of 1.4 billion people. with many cases and deaths going unreported, the real numbers are feared to be as much as ten times higher with cases now spreading all across southern asia. >> chris livesay with the terrible situation in india. thank you. in washington, number-three house republican liz cheney is blasting her colleagues who say it's time to replace her. for the first time yesterday, the house gop whip called for cheney to be demoted for publicly opposing former president trump. nancy cordes is at the white house where the party squabble is getting attention from president biden. nancy, what's this all about? >> reporter: anthony, what this is about is whether gop lawmakers will tolerate having

someone who is not an abject trump loyalist in party leadership. and increasingly it appears they will not. now president biden himself is weighing in saying the gop appears to be locked in a struggle over its very identity. >> significant sort of mini revolution going on in the republican party. >> reporter: that is how president biden framed the gop fight over republican congresswoman liz cheney. >> it seems as though the republican party is trying to identify what it stands for. >> reporter: cheney's leadership position is in danger because she told the truth repeatedly. in a new op-ed she once again calls out former president trump's false claims that the 2020 election was a fraud and stolen. she urges gop colleagues to steer away from the dangerous and anti-democratic trump cultive personality. in a statement, mr. trump called

cheney a war-mongering fool and said elise stefanik would be a superior choice for gop conference chair. >> president trump has fought tirelessly to deliver results for all americans -- >> reporter: stefanik is a loyal trump ally who voted to challenge november's election results. on wednesday, she thanked him for his 100% support. one day after gop leader kevin mccarthy appeared to seal cheney's fate in this hopt mic moment. >> i think she's got real problems. i've had it with -- i've it with her. >> reporter: cheney survived one removal vote after she voted to impeach mr. trump in january, but her gop critics have only gottuder. e longtime defender, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell wouldn't engage when asked about her. >> 100% of my focus is on standing up to this administration. >> reporter: another removal vote is likely to come next week

on wednesday. here is the bottom line -- right now on the right it pays to embrace former president trump's false claims about the election. gop lawmakers who do find that they get increased fundraising hauls and, of course, more love from his base. all of that is seen as key to winning back the house in 2022 which is why liz cheney's high-profile descent is seen as such a problem. >> for some it's about the numbers. for others it's about their own conscience. thank you so much. california officials confirmed last night there will be a recall election for democratic governor gavin newsom this year. a petition colleno aturo p news up to the voters who elected him 2.5 years ago. he has been roundly criticized for the state's respo coronavirus pandemic. newsom's republican challengers include former olympic decathalon champion caitlyn jenner. as ed o'keefe reports, she spoke

with sean hannity last night to make her case for a change in the governor's office. i need to find solutions to be able to turn this state around. >> reporter: in her first tv interview since officially launching a campaign, republican caitlyn jenner took on the current california governor's response to the pandemic. >> gavin newsom on this issue has been absolutely horrible, okay. he's used it as a political tool in the state to shut down, to control people. >> reporter: the olympic gold medalist and transgender tv star is one of at least a dozen candidates in the recall election. newsom's been slammed for his pandemic response, including some of the most restrictive rules in the country. he's accused of ignoring last fall by going to a private birthday dinner for a close friend and lobbyist. republicans also strongly oppose his stance on immigration and taxes. newsom has fired back and defended his handling of the pandemic. >> california lays claim to the lowest positivity rate in america. now is not the time to waste hundreds of millions of dollars

on a recall effort that is nothing more than a partisan power grab. >> reporter: so far the majority of californians agree. a recent poll found 56% wouldn't vote to remove the governor. but that's not stopping some from trying. >> california needs a disrupter. a compassionate disrupter. >> reporter: jenner and republican businessman john cox released dueling campaign ads within hours of each other this week with brash attempts to grab attention. >> this beauty has proven he can't do it. this beast can. >> reporter: cox calls himself the beast, running against newsom, the beauty. and he's now campaigning with a bear named tag while putting up $10 million of his own to fund his campaign. state officials still have to take a few more steps before officially scheduling the recall which is now expected to occur in either october or november. and just to remind you of how rare gubernatorial recalls are, there have just been three

others in all of u.s. history. the most recent successful one was back in 2003. where else? california. republican arnold schwarzenegger knocked out the democratic governor, gray davis. gayle? >> i do remember that. thank you very much, ed. a white atlanta police officer charged with murdering a black man has gotten his job back. prosecutors say that garrett rolfe shot rayshard brooks twice in the back in a parking lot where brooks was found sleeping in his car. officers were trying to arrest him when brooks grabbed the officer's taser and started to run. the atlanta civil service board reinstated rolfe yesterday declaring that he was not given due process before he was fired last year. his lawye says that rolfe shot brooks in self-defense. the board's decision led to a protest at city hall demanding atlanta's mayor appeal the ruling. rolfe will remain on administrative leave until the trial. the conditions of his release on bail prevent him from carrying a gun. this is a difficult story. the officer is claiming

self-defense, but in the tape you see he's clearly running away. i know not good, running from an officer when they're trying to arrest you. get it. he grabbed a taser, not a gun, was running away. i don't understand. shots in the back. all right. restaurants, hotels, and other businesses that survived the pandemic now face a new crisis -- not enough workers. across the country, businesses are struggling to fill many positions just as large numbers of americans get vaccinated and look forward to vacations. our lead national correspondent, david begnaud, is in long beach, new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. look, with the end of the pandemic in sight, we're all ready to travel, right? as you get ready to travel, you'll find some bars, restaurants, and hotels are having a hard finding workers. a lot of people left, and they need them to come back to work. a good example is cape cod,sett wng to thirning. welcome to the beautiful at that roughly two

million people visit every summer. tourists are not the only summer visitors, though. businesses typically hire between 15 and 20,000 extra workers to keep up with the summer demand. but this year, finding enough staff is becoming a real problem. >> we're going to be more efficient. >> reporter: david columbo has three restaurants. one that boasts the best lobster roll in new england. pretty good eating. columbo says he needs to find about 40 more workers. you're waiting for 40 people to walk through the door? >> it's funny. this year you have to entice them more. they know the situation. you give them more money and so forth. >> reporter: that's interesting. >> yeah. yeah. you know, they -- >> reporter: more demand. >> they have a little bit of the upper hand now. it's better than having nobody, you know. >> reporter: what are you willing to pay, a little bit more? >> well, that's -- i wish not to say that because they may be listening. >> reporter: there are several barriers causing the worker shortage, says cape cod chamber

of commerce ceo wendy northcross. >> people stay home. they crunch the numbers and see what their unemployment benefits are versus what their potential exposure is versus their childcare needs, and they're making decisions to just kind of sit out another summer. >> reporter: you know, similar hurdles are threatening other beach towns. tourism is a nearly $7 billion business in cape may county in new jersey. the chamber of commerce president vicky clark says a backlog of temporary j1 student visas are adding to the problem. >> that program did not lap last year because of covid. and there is a huge backlog of applications this year. not all embassies around the world have opened up. so students are having a very difficult time getting their visa appointments. >> reporter: how many employees do you need? >> we blossomed to 675 employees during high season. we need bring about 400 employees -- >> reporter: back on cape kirkwood in massachusetts, gary thulander runs the chatham bars

inn and has the same problem. roughly 125 of his employes need to get a temporary work visa in order to work for him. and when we met him, he had some good news to share. >> the confluence just opened up in the eastern bloc countries and also jamaica and dominican republic. it's going to help us dramatically filling our needs with staffing levels coming up.. >> it's huge news for us, absolutely. >> reporter: you know, it really comes down to unemployment benefits and temporary work visas. there's also a temporary housing issue, anthony. we were told that on cape cod a lot of people moved out of the big cities, boston for example, moved to work for home during the pandemic. now some of the try rkers are saying i'll go back to cape cod to work, but i'm having a hard time finding a place to live while i'm there. >> a lot of people moved around during the pandemic. david doing a shore tour. nice eating on cape cod. >> that lobster roll looked good.

>> if the unemployment benefits, you get more staying home than if you get a job, what is the incentive to go get a job? >> that's always -- that was the complaint to some degree about the stimulus package was people getting checks were going to be -- i don't buy that. no. if you see there's a job opening, you want to get in a job before somebody else takes it. >> the housing is a bigger issue. >> yes. >> when you don't have many things open, the prices go through the roof. and no one can pay you enough to cover that. >> right. and the visa issue. a lot of these resort communities rely on foreign workers. they do in the summer particularly. ahead, the decision to uphold facebook's ban of former president trump. why he still has a chance to get back on the social media plat

we've got much more ahead for you. why a teenage girl has been charged as an adult after -- listen to this -- allegedly rigging the vote to win homecoming queen. guess what, her mom helped her, allegedly. after 17 years, a large swath of the country is about to be invaded by trillions with a t of cicadas. what we're in for -- >> reporter: the last time this happened, george w. bush was president, nobody had an iphone, and some of us were still on myspace. get ready for an onslaught of cicadas. we'll tell you why they've shown up to party and what exactly have they been doing underground for the past 17 years coming up

welcome back to "cbs this morning." the decision on when and if former president trump will be allowed on facebook is back in the hands of the person who least seemed to want it in the first place. that would be the company's ceo, mark zuckerberg. he created an independent oversight board paid for by facebook which ruled yesterday that the company was right to suspend mr. trump for inciting the crowd that attacked the capitol in january. but it also said facebook was wrong to impose an indefinite suspension. and the board gave the company six months to permanently ban mr. trump or set a date to restore his account. >> this was a fraudulent election. >> reporter: four months after former president trump posted

this false claims of election fraud and then sympathized on social media with supporters who stormed the capitol that very day, helle thorning-schmidt and other members of facebook's oversight board said it was up to facebook, not its self-created committee, to decide what to do with the former president's accounts. >> we upheld the facebook decision from the 7th of january where they took mr. trump off the platforms. and we said that was the right decision because mr. trump's content actually created harm, real-life harm. that was the right decision. but we also said to facebook th an arbitrary penalty. >> reporter: instead the board gave facebook six months to pick a penalty for president trump that is consistent with facebook's rules for severe violations. facebook for its part said it will now consider the board's decision and determine an action that is clear and proportionate.

in the meantime, the former president remains locked out of his facebook and instagram accounts and off all major social media platforms after a permanent ban by twitter and an indefinite suspension by youtube. he responded on an old-fashioned website saying free speec houth accused facebook as acting like a superpa pac. it's accused of suppressing content conservative in nature. in reviewing this case, did you see evidence of that? >> we didn't. but that ishy board is so adamant that the decisions that are taking -- are not taken on an arbitrary way.

it has to be based on clarity that rules apply equally for everyone, and of course transparency. >> it's all really new, this space. >> reporter: emily bazelon is a writer for "the new york times" magazine and lecturer at yale law school. >> facebook is a private company. it is not the public square. the first amendment kind of traditional very broad protections for free speech don't apply. >> reporter: she says that while someone may need to regulate speech on facebook, there's no agreement on whether that should be silicon valley or the government. >> and so that's really the choice that's at stake here. it's about corporations making key decisions about the freedom of expression and preventing harm from spreading on line, versus people who we elect. the problem, of course, with handing this power over to the government is you always have to imagine any tool you create for controlling speech in the hands of the next person who you don't like who gets elected. >> reporter: for now, facebook's oversight board is also asking

for some self-reflection, inviting the company to review its own potential role in the tensions that led to the capitol riot. what's to stop facebook from reading the board's decision and doing nothing, putting it into a drawer, closing the drawer, and never looking at it again? >> they can't do nothing because we have given them six months to react. we want them to look at our recommendation and change their content policy so they become purer. we, of course, expect facebook to honor that commitment to the oversight board. >> the reality is that facebook does have a choice here. it can take action, or it cannot. it's up to them. the board is supposed to be independent of facebook, and it includes prominent lawyers, journalists, and former government officials like this morninging-schmidt, former prime minister of denmark. facebook pays board members about six-figure salaries. i think what's unsatisfying, no one seems happy with this, is the board is saying facebook cannot incent a penalty --

juliana said as the husband of a teacher. i so appreciate you -- you showing up for this and highlighting teachers and the incredible work juliana and the others are doing. you yourself have continued teaching. why was it important for you to do that? >> because that's my profession. i love teaching. and -- and part of my platform as first lady is to lift up teachers and lift up our profession. for so long teachers were undervalued. but now hopefully, you know, all of america after this pandemic has seen what teachers have done and how they've just taken care of our kids. it's just been such a tough time. and teachers have risen to this moment. >> i have to say, dr. biden, when you said you were here before the you know, when we get into the white house, i will continue to teach. and i said, no way is she going to be able to do that as first lady, but you have certainly done that. so bravo, bravo. >> yes, i have.

>> what do you think schools need most? it's been a tough year for all of us and certainly for the teachers. what do you think schools need most as many prepare to reopen? what's on your wish list? >> you know, i think schools need the mental health support both for the students and the teachers. this has been such a tough year. and a lot of students who have been at home have, you know, domestic violence is on the rise, child abuse is on the rise, and so i think, you know, the kids have been hurting this year. and so they're going to need a lot of support. and that's what our administration, that's what joe has provided for. >> juliana, you know, we've had national teachers of the year from different fields, some are music teachers, some are gym teachers, english teachers. you're an elementary school teacher, and not only an elementary school teacher but if i saw the bio correctly, you're a special education teacher in particular. what can you say about that

subspecialty which is so important to so many families in this country? >> my job is to make sure that i help my students find their strengths. kids with thinking and learning differences have so many possibilities, so much potential. it's my job to find it, make them believe it, and then help them grow. >> as the national teacher of the year, that is no small title. you're in a position now to advocate for educators and for students. what's at the top of the list? what do you think people need to understand about what we need -- how we need to address education in this country? >> you know, each school is unique, and they have their own special set of needs. so that's why i'm advocating for a joyous and just education. joy because we understand and uplift each child and just because teachers are working collectively to build learning spaces where all of our students can thrive. >> you know, dr. biden, we heard from juliana about why she loves

teaching so much. you had a very full plate as first lady of the united states. why do you still love it so much after all this time? and you clearly do. >> well, you know, i'm just like juliana. it's the students. they make such a difference. and i think, you know, it's our job to give them confidence and give them skills. and like juliana said, to give them joy and support in their lives. and that's our job. and that's what i love about teaching. that i hope that i'm able to do that just like juliana has done in her classroom. >> you know, guys, i do want to ask one question that is a bit policy related. i did a long story about a year ago about teacher pay. and i met teachers who were working second jobs just so they can maintain the job that they really want to do which is educating the next generation. it's a big issue. everybody gets emotional about teachers. everyone loves to see a day like this. we all shed tears at home.

but then when it comes to voting to increase teacher pay, people get a little shy. what's your message to those people? >> teachers are professionals. they're outstanding, they grow their craft, and i think teacher pay is something that is going to be so important especially as we try to grow and retain and recruit teachers. we need to treat teachers like professionals and outstanding professionals that they are. >> yeah. >> dr. biden, listen, when you see the president later today, make sure you told him you started your day with us. what message will you bring to him about juliana and her national teacher of the year award? in less than 30 seconds, yes. >> i will tell him how wonderful she is, how she lifts up her students, how she gives them joy because that's her message. that's who our teachers are. >> nicely done. bravo. eryt.liana.ank u, dr. den. i ledu bo.we'll rightk.

influencing? how many references do you have, caroline? >> very many. so many. >> very many? >> yes. as donald trump would say, huge, a huge amount of black friends. >> i do not approve of this message -- >> reporter: now the comedian is set to executive produce and star in a new variety series for showtime called "ziwe." >> are you a racist? >>my face is blurred for this? >> how many times have you said the "n" word? >> the a or the er? >> the series will feature sketches and guest interviews. >> what bothers you more, slow walkers or racism? >> that's a real question? >> you have a book called "pretty powerful." why do you think ugly people can't be powerful? >> as well as musical performances featuring ziwe bei stop being poor ♪ >> and ziwe joins us now. welcome, thanks for being with us. congratulations on the new show.

>> thank you. i'm so excited to be in this hallowed grounds like "cbs this morning" is my favorite show. >> hallowed grounds -- >> you they have to everybody. >> to all the morning shows -- >> no. you guys do fantastic reporting. >> thank you. here i was worried you were going to ask an uncomfortable question. >> we're glad you're here. >> listen, ziwe, start by giving us some sense of how your comedy came about. why did you decide to use uncomfortable questions as a form of comedy? >> totally. i mean, i've just lived forever, and i've had all of these uncomfortable conversations all of my life where i'm like talking to someone and they'll be like, okay, i have four black friends, it's like, sir, there is a wendy's y. did you bring that up? and i wondered what would happen if there was a camera in front of -- in front of these conversations. like if someone would watch them. so this is my version of like healing and working through all of the trauma i've experienced in my young adult life. >> you've actually said that -- i think you said to someone that

you're perpetually afraid of offending people. you're walking a tightrope here, aren't you? >> totally. i would argue that i have set myself up for disaster in that i never want to perpetrate discrimination or marginalize people. i'm only trying to have really funny, lighthearted conversations that are uncomfortable and really get at the heart, the issues with race in this country. so yeah, it's a tightrope, but i hope that i'm doing it well. >> you're doing it very well. can i just say, i love that you're doing it, number one. race makes so many people uncomfortable. if we don't talk about it, nothing changes. but your uncomfortable questions like you're intervewing a white woman and say, how many white women are in new york, should they go back to where they came from? you're asking a white woman, what percentage of white women do you hate. two, when you go to a job interview you think like a white guy. i thought that was hilarious. but you're saying race permeaes every aspect of our lives. and what we really have to do is

unlearn racial biases. what do you mean? it's so true, but i want you to explain it. >> sure. when i talk about unlearning racial bias is that whether you discuss race consciously or subconsciously, you're bringing your learned behaviors, the things you learned in school, into the conversation. i mean, the way the highways are built in the united states have to do with race. it's part of every facet of our society. and so i'm hoping to sort of -- i'm hoping to normalize these conversations so people don't feel like if i say the wrong thing i'm going to die, i'm going to go to jail, i'm going to get canceled. ultimately, we can say the wrong thing and learn and grow and become better people. and build a stronger community. >> we should talk about -- >> globally honestly. >> we should talk about cancel culture. you're right. people don't talk about these issues because they're afraid they're going to say the wrong thing. they may say the wrong thing in good faith or in bad faith. either way, they can end up shut down. but you don't believe in that. explain why.

>> i mean, not exactly -- what is cancel culture really? it seems like a bad press day. maybe a bad day on twitter. but ultimately it's twofold. n'encompass -rrr assaulting you versus if you tweet that you maybe don't like beyonce. and that is too wide of an umbrella for society. >> but do we -- >> furthermore -- >> go ahead, i'm sorry. go ahead. >> no, please. >> i was going to say do we need an independent oversight board like facebook set up to like handle these cases and make judgments? and they'd be binding. >> exactly. we need eric holder to do an investigation and really get at the root of cancel culture because it's too wide. and then those who are actually canceled -- i mean, you live in your mansion, you have a nice life, you get a vacation. doesn't seem so bad. >> you know -- >> i don't understand what cancel culture is exactly. >> you grew up in lawrence, mass. for a time you were planning to be a mathematician. how did you take this turn to

comedy? >> well, you know, i hated math class because -- >> me, too. >> hated math clas it was unpleasant. i've always had this personality. so i thought that profiting off of my trauma was the best case scenario for me. and so that's why i'm a comedian. >> you know what's funny, though, ziwe, if a white woman was saying what you're saying, if they said what you're saying about white people, if a white woman was doing it, i'd be feel something kind of way actually. i'd be, well, that's not funny. but the way you do it, there's something that makes it very palatable. why is it okay, why is it okay? and you've said that you want to be the ellen degeneres of race relations. i like that. tell me why it's okay and what does that mean the ell degeneres of raceelio because ellen is very funny and smart. >> ultimately my goal is to lead with kindness. because i am not the judge, jury, executioner. i can't dictate what is right and what is wrong. all i can do is ask important questions, and then we can move forward and be vulnerable and be honest. when you see these interviews with fran liebovitz or gloria

steinem for example, our pilot episode on sunday, you'll see people being honest and raw and having conversations that are not had on television at all. >> you're on to something -- >> i think that vul >>'rn to something. i know your parents were hoping you'd be a doctor or lawyer. i hope they're very proud of what you're doing. you're terrific. >> my parents don't know what i do for a living. they know this show. they watch it. so this is awesome. >> all right. ziwe, thank you so much. the series "ziwe" premieres sunday night on showtime. as you heard, gloria steinem, one of her first guests. >> awesome. ahead in our "a more perfect union" series how the power of photography is creating new opportunities for teenage gir
