7:13 am
but congress is nowhere close to meeting that deadline. nancy cordes is at the white house. nans,y good morning. >> good morning. the president will be hosting the floyd family here at the white hous on the anniversary of george floyd's death tomorrow. and he had been hoping to deliver the goons to them, that congress had reached a compromise on police reform legislation. instead, he'll have to tell him that the two sides are still talking. over the weekend, one of the key negotiators, new jersey senator cory booker said they are making what he called meaningful progress on a bill that would, among other things, ban police choke holds, provide more funding for police body cameras and create a national base for police use of force. and at this point, police reform advocates don't appear to be too alarmed by the fact that this is dragging on. the reverend al sharpton said he'd have a teeth with bill that's late than a toothless
7:14 am
bill that is done on time. the biggest sticking point continues to be what's known as qualified immunity, which often protects officers from being sued iwroing many democrats want to roll back those protections. many republicans do not. and the white house, at this point, is really playing a supporting role in these talks. is it not nearly as involved in the negotiations as it is in, say, infrastructure talks. and right now, gayle, that appears to be an arrangement that democrats and republicans are most comfortable with. >> nancy, thank you. you make a good point. i've never heard of anything toothless that's a good thing. thank you very much. the "late show" with stephen colbert is staying a big, big step. it'sl fully vaccinated studio audience starting three weekstonow,is the move. meg oler ishe the "late s"meg, this is a real.
7:15 am
i'm happy for the colbert fans and for the colbert team. this is good. >> gayle, this is so exciting. on june 14th, these doors will open and welcome some 400 audience members. something that hasn't happened since march of last year. >> it's stephen colbert. >> reporter: this is the stephen colbert we remember from before the pandemic. a host who loved getting up close and personal with his studio audience, even once graciously accepting an emerald ring. >> it's emerald quarters, so -- >> oh, okay. >> when the pandemic forced much of broadway to go dark, the ed sullivan theater did, as well. >> as you may have noticed, no one is here right now. the only people in the audience right now are some members of my staff. hi, guys. >> the broadcast felt so different. colbert and his staff changed
7:16 am
the name from the "late show" to a "late show." after a brief hiatus, colbert was the first late-night host to return to the airwaves, broadcasting from his bathtub. >> you're watching a very special social distancing edition of the "late show," or as i now call it, the lather show with scrub and colbert. >> reporter: soon he and the other late-night hosts did what we all did last year, talk with people via zoom and managed to keep the laughter alive without the energy provided by a live audience. >> thank you so much for having me. so glab to be here. i'm not technically there. >> this is as much as anyone is ever with anyone anymore. >> reporter: but now colbert has a chance to provide much more than laughs in welcoming back his audience, he's bringing back a sense of normalcy and healing, like his predecessor, david letterman did, just days after 9/11. >> it's very simple.
7:17 am
there is only one requirement for any of us? that is to be courageous. come june 14th, colbert's audience members will have to show proof of vaccinations and face masks will be optional. and after 437 days and 205 episodes, "a late show" will once again be called "the late show," thanks to this particular sound. no one knows what colbert will say tonight about his audience's imminent return, but gayle, we understand you'll have a chance to ask him as a guest tomorrow. in a statement, colbert was only saying he's looking forward to doing shows again for an audience he can smell and touch. >> i think they're very excited ovthe. they had to fill out a huge questionnaire, answer all sorts of questions and meet all sorts of requirements. but can you imagine how they pulled this off for the past -- >> we actually did our show from that studio. and it was empty. >> and it will be night to have an audience back.
7:18 am
an audience gives you energy. and when you smell it, taste it, feel it, you know what's that like. >> it's tough being a comedian when there's no crowd to laugh at your jokes. >> and they have a responsibility to move things ford in this new normalcy. >> i'm curious about who was the first guest going to be june 14th? >> that's a very good question. we'll have john batista later in the week. >> and i bet they won't tell us. we'll see. meg, thank you again. ahead, a beach party gets way out of hand in california when thousands of people show up and some of them start fighting with the police.

there's no information." just six miles away, the mountain had erupted again. spewing rivers of hot lava that snaked their way toward the lakeside city, home to at least two million people. those who remembered the last eruption of 2002 were terrified the deadly tragedies would be repeated. that disaster left 250 people he aen of 20,000 ss communication, nobody waited around to see what would happen this time, and so they fled, heading for higher ground or the nearby rwandan border. the insistent ring of cell phones piercing the air as families checked in on loved ones much by morning the devastation was clear -- homes had been engulfed by flames, entire villages razed to the

the texas legislator will debate a bill that would force transgender students to compete on sport teams that match their assigned genders at birth. this is one of several measures under consideration in teitt br across the country. the human rights campaign which advocates for lgbtq rights says at least 119 anti-transgender bills have been introduced in state legislatures this year alone. tennessee's governor signed three of those bills into law last week. mireya villarreal spoke to a family in dallas caught in the middle of this fight. no! >> i won again! >> reporter: at home, the gonzalez sisters are often fierce competitors, but over the last few years they've teamed up to fight politicians pushing anti-transgender bills. >> i say they shouldn't worry about me and how my life is.
7:39 am

[ chants ] >> reporter: the family is advocating against a health care bill in texas that targets parents who agree to transgender affirming care. a recent pbs "news hour" npr marist poll found that most americans, republicans and democrats, do not support bills that prohibit transition-related medical care. still, legislatures across the u.s. have introduced what advocates say is a record wave
7:40 am
of bills targeting the transgender community. >> there are so many people that don't know or don't know that they know transgender individuals. it's so much easier to demonize people that you don't know. >> reporter: you think you guys are being used almost as pawns then? >> we're 100% being used as pawns. they are inviting people to debate whether or not our children have a right to exist, whether or not they have a right to public spaces, whether or not they have a right to health care that they deserve, playing sports, loving parents. >> reporter: texas lawmaker and physician dawn buckingham co-sponsored a bill that would bar transgender athletes from competing on girls sports teams. >> if you have a little girl and she dreamed of -- whether it was a district championship or a state championship, and then it was taken by somebody who just had a physiologic advantage from birth because they were born a little girls. >> reporter: none of the anti-transgender bills have passed yet, but the texas session ends on may 31st.
7:41 am
>> they think that our parents supporting us is child abusing when they're literally telling us that we can't be who we are. >> reporter: who are you, libby? >> i'm libby. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," mireya villarreal, dallas, texas. >> you go, libby. i think that says it all. i'm libby. that's who i am. >> exactly. >> it's 2021. >> yeah. yep. >> here we are. one of the biggest names in golf outdid himself yesterday at the pga championship. >> here it is. biggest moment of a legendary career. phil defeats father time.

to see because you were there? >> i mean, i -- just spending the time that i got to spend early on, i had never grown up around babies, so changing diapers, doing all these things were pivotal. it was important. serena was coming out of a number of surgeries and those responsibilities sort of naturally fell on papa. just getting that time, even the slightly loopy late nights trying to sort of calm her back to sleep were moments that i'm grateful i got to spend because i think they laid a foundation for me to know, look, there's a lot of stuff you just learn on the fly as a parent and going through that period and having the time to just learn on the go and improvise and actually feel like it's going to work out gave me the confidence to know no matter what, i can be there for her. i can figure it out. we'll get through it. and i'm grateful for it, and every dad deserves it just like every mom.

young man. >> alexis, you've been called out by your wife, too, which i rather enjoy. >> you had to bring that up, gayle. >> i remember serena said to you, you work harder than i do. and you said, thank you so much. she said, that is not a compliment. and i thought that's such a good way to put it because she works very hard. that's not a compliment, dude, that you work harder than i do. what message was she saying to you? >> what she hit on the head was the fact that i had a kind of warped view of the path to excellence and the path to greatness being a direct result of just pure work. and that is obviously core to it, but one thing i'm still working on is balancing that with time off with time away, with time to reset and recharge, and something she's really good at is shutting it off and siilime or personal time. i'm always a smartphone away from dipping back into a term sheet or dipping back into work. yeah, i certainly still get
8:11 am
checked from time to time on that one because it's something that i want to be my best. i think we all do. and that was one of the motivations behind even starting "business dad" we need more men talking about this stuff. >> exactly. >> so many career driven men who also as soon as you get them talking about their kids, you realize they care as much about this -- they care more about this than their empires. >> alexis ohanian -- how do you say your last name? >> all of the above. >> okay. >> as long as you call me alexis, we're good.

8:40 am
all right. you guys ready? >> yeah, yeah -- [ laughter ] >> that's the best -- >> hollywood star ojohn krasinsi is personally thanking movie fans around the country for coming back to the theaters. s gu hes best kno "t office" and ms ack an." he's also the creative effort behind "the quiet place." he does it again as writer and
8:41 am
director of "a quiet place part ii" which opens on friday. we met at the alamo draft house in brooklyn, and he told us why he's so excited to get people back in the theaters. he says this one is more nerve-racking than the original and promises bigger scares. let's talk about the creatures. those guys -- number one, i don't know what the hell i was looking at. what are they? they're terrifying. >> they're pretty -- they're pretty scary. and as they came to life with their spinned ly legs and stuffi thought, yeah, that's the stuff of nightmares, perfect. >> the monsters hunt using their heightened sense of hearing in the film "a quiet place part ii". its writer/director john krasinski's followup to the 2018 box office hit. tracking the abbott family as they fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
8:42 am
the sequel was originally slated to come out in 2020, but days after krasinski walked the red carpet at the new york premiere last march he got the news that put the world at a stand still. >> we talked about it for two minutes, and just ,have to pull the movie. i remember a friend was like, it must have felt like you -- it takes about two years to make a movie when you write it, shoot, and edit it. and he said, it must have like you finally got to have your baby and the doctor said, so beautiful, i'm going to put it back inside you, and i'm not sure when it's coming out. that's pretty accurate -- >> that's a good analogy. >> good, right? >> yeah. over a year later the film's release has finally arrived, and krasinski took us to his local theater in brooklyn to watch the opening scenes. the experience does not disappoint. i like this -- oh! [ bleep ] god, i even -- geez. i knew that was coming, and that was y. and the movie stars krasinski's
8:43 am
wife, actress emily blunt, who fearlessly took on this heart-racing stunt. that's really moving? >> that's it -- >> wow. >> i said to emily, do you want to do a rehearsal? she said, no, i want to experience it as it really happens. it was happening around her. when i shut the door and said this is going to be great, i was thinking did i just put my marriage on the line? this could go horribly wrong for me. when the bus came her at 45 miles per hour, that's really happening. that was the one moment i peed my pants while we were shooting the movie. >> that's what i'm thinking. you need to give people depends when they enter the theater. did you think about that? >> no. but now we have a new sponsor. >> there are people out there -- people worth saving. >> what did you want us to feel as we're watching it? >> mostly i wanted to terrorize people with sound. [ sounds ] because if you have seen the opening of the movie, i push the
8:44 am
sound a little bit every time there's little sounds. [ bell ] and i think that people -- at least i hope they have fun with the fact that their nervous for every single thing you do. >> this is the thing that fascinated me walking by -- the oranges -- just the thing that we've all done a million times, taken the plastic bag -- >> yep -- >> i heard every single sound and thought, i'm waiting for something to happen at any single moment. >> yes. that's exactly it. can gayle come on and press with me? she gets the movie completely. >> it's not good for one's heart. i wrote that you didn't inkids. it is the real fears you go through as a parent, clearly not aliens that will kill you if you make noise -- >> but a parent will do anything to protect a child. >> correct. to put yourself in the mindsets of what would you do for your
8:45 am
kids was an intense place to live for all that time. when they asked, i said i don't think i can do it. find somebody else. >> he was inspired by an idea he wanted to see through, and despite his hesitation he took on the role of writer/director once again. but there was still just one more person he needed to convince to get on board. >> funny because emily wasn't even sure she was going to do a sequel either. and i remember she said -- >> you can't do a sequel without her, though. >> that's what i thought. but i had to slow play it, yeah, no, i can totally do a movie without you. i have an opening for you to read -- i'm not going to do the movie but good for you. i said, read the opening. she's, i'm definitely doing the movie. where does my character go -- it was happening very fast. it was great. >> look at all that you've done, and they're calling you a quadruple threat, actor/producer actor/producer/writer -- >> dad -- >> husband, director. i became smitten with you

8:47 am
and say "i love "the office." i'm like, are you parents around? how do you know what this is? >> a 4-year-old? >> yeah. it's become -- i think the greatest compliment we have on that show is that people watch it together. and it's the thing that makes people smile in hard times. >> and bringing people together again is exactly what krasinski hopes to do. >> i said that i was going to bring out "a quiet place part ii" when we could all see it together. guess what, it's time. >> with the exclusive theatrical release of "a quiet place part ii," one of the first films to do so since the start of the pandemic. >> i'm going around theaters all across the country. [ cheers ] popping in like this to say thank you. >> i know i still love going to the movies, too. i really miss it. i've been so nervous about returning. >> yes. it's been a bizarre year. it's been a long year. and i understand everybody's, you know, questioning and confusion as to -- >> there's trepidation. >> sure. and then there's a lot of people who aren't trepand i'm like wher
8:48 am
you're ready, our movie's going to be there for you. i'm excited that people want to get back together. >> for people to get back together, he says, and just to see any movie. he's excited about that. the reviews -- "associated press," it might sound cliche, but it's hard to imagine seeing it anywhere but on the big screen. it's the kind of movie that demands it. >> yeah. >> "the guardian" says what a pleasure to see a picture like this on the big screen. normally a sequel doesn't live up to the first. this one does. this one does. >> i cannot wait. >> i have an apple watch, so you can check your blood pressure, your heartbeat. i kept -- it was 156 to 73 to 89 -- you're sort of -- he takes you on quite a ride. >> yeah. >> he says this -- it took him 12 days to write the sequel. he never watched horror movies growing up becaus he didn't like it. >> that i did know. >> i did not know that. how did you prepare, he looked at "jaws," "aliens," all of hitchcock's stuff. he wants you to be scared but wants you to know you'll be
8:49 am
okay. >> which is probably why i liked the first film so much, and i don't like horror movies at all because it's a smart person history or-- horror film. i will see any movie with emily blunt at the end of a pump action shotgun. >> i saw the first one. i'm excited to see the second one. i also love that they work so well together as husband and wife. they make it look so easy. >> they do. i said -- do you ever look at each during a scene? no, it's acting, gayle. >> all right. on our "cbs this morning" podcast with europe open to travel, mark elwood tells you what to know before booking your foreign trip this summer. we'll be right back. welcome to jack in the box. hey, jack, i heard your chicken- who told you that? it was jimmy wasn't it? no, i heard your chicken comes with classic and spicy in the same box, so i don't have to choose. ah yes. best of both worlds. my 50/50 popcorn chicken. only at jack in the box.
