[ siren ] >> reporter: a horrific day in san jose, california. a gunman opens fire at a light rail facility killing his co-workers. >> it begs the damn question what's going on in the united states of america? >> reporter: president biden is asking the intelligence committee to redouble efforts to find the origin of covid-19. >> no one knows including me 100% what the origin is. >> reporter: severe storms moving out of the midwest and

into the northeast. >> never seen the rain pelt the windows this hard. the wind was unbelievable. >> reporter: amazon makes a mega media deal. the online giant bought mgm studios for $8.45 billion. all that -- >> they rocked us. madison square gordon. >> up top! and all that matters -- >> former "daily show" host jon stewart joined lawmakers to introduce a house bill aimed at making it easier for veterans with diseases linked to burn pits to get va benefits. >> veterans are like alarry nassar -- like oliver asking, please, sir, may i get more. flags at half staff to honor the victims of the rail yard shooting. >> we know that so many are feeling deeply this loss. their loved ones and their friends. now is a moment for us to collect ourselves, to understand what happened, to mourn, and to

help those who have suffered to heal. >> how can we understand this? i think governor newsom said it best, what the hell is wrongn t. we don't yet know why a transit employee opened fire at a rail yard yesterday in san jose. we do know that he killed at least nine of his co-workers and that several others were wounded here. this is the shooter. he is 57-year-old sam cassidy. his ex-wife said he had a

problem since 1999. for more than a year these employees worked through the dangers of the pandemic, only now to fall victim to a mass shooting. family members at this reunification site wailed after waiting 12 hours only to learn their loved ones were among those killed during wednesday's shooting. >> we lost a very good person. he was a very good person in our family. worked as a light rail operator for roughly nine years and leaves behind a wife and two small children. co-workers told his family the 36-year-old pushed one of them into a room to hide from the shooter, then frantically started warning others. >> he just told her and after that goes downstairs. >> reporter: shots rang out at the transportation authority at around 6:30 in the morning wednesday as workers were changing shifts. >> someone's shooting right outside the door.

>> reporter: a law enforcement source told cbs news work hers gathered for a meeting when the shooting started. they were yelling run, hide, fight. officers were on scene almost immediately. they entered the building and encountered sam cassidy who took his own life. glen hendricks is chair of valley transportation authority. >> never in my wildest dreams did i ever think something like this would occur. >> reporter: cassidy, a 57-year-old transit employee, lived nearby. a neighbor's doorbell camera shows him leaving the house wednesday morning with a large black duffel bag. shortly before he allegedly began shooting, a fire erupted at his home. police suspect arson and later found hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside. cassidy's ex-wife, cecilia nelms, said he struggled with a temper. >> that was one of our biggest problems. he was very quiet. kept things to himself. >> reporter: the violence waged

here now representing the seventh workplace shooting in the-- shooting this year. >> when they said good-bye authorities have not said what the motive behind this one, however, we do know he used two semiautomatic pistols and multiple rounds of ammunition. >> our condolences to those families in san jose, thank you. the debate over the origin of covid-19 is heating up. heat. yesterday president biden announced he's giving the u.s. intelligence community 90 days to produce a report on the subject which could have major implications for u.s. relations

with china. nancy cordes is following this at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in this new statement from the president, it was candid about the fact that there is still disagreement within the u.s. intelligence community about where the covid-19 virus originated. he said that, quote, the u.s. intelligence community has coalesced around two likely scenarios. some in the community lean toward the theory that covid emerged from human contact with an infected animal. but others now lean toward this laboratory accident theory. many in the intelligence community, he says, still don't think there's enough information to make an assessment either way. and that's why he now wants them to redouble their investigations and get data from china. so far, however, china has rejected the lab accident theory, and it's been unwilling to share information. so the white house hasn't said whether and how it plans to compel china to hand that information over. now interestingly, when dr.

anthony fauci and dr. frances collins, head of the national institutes of health, testified on the hill yesterday, they said that they still believe it's most likely that this virus emerged naturally in nature, in part because that's how viruses typically spread. they did concede, however, that a lab accident is possible, that more research is needed. it's a vindication of sorts for trump-era officials who long argued that they believe that this virus originated in a lab only to be dismissed in part because some of their anti-china rhetoric. >> thank you, we'll see what happens with that investigation. as early as today, senate republicans could block a bill that creates a commission to investigate the assault on the capitol. hundreds of then-president trump supporters swarmed the capitol on january 6th trying to stop the certification of joe biden's presidential victory. the house has already approved a special commission, but many

republicans claim it would be biased toward democrats. the mother of capitol police officer brian sicknick who died after the attacks meets with senators today to try and convince them to support the investigation. she said it would be a slapping in the face of all the officers who did their jobs that day if the commission is not created. a virtual rally will be held later today to demand action to stop ape surge in anti-semitic attacks. in new york city alone, there have been more than 60 such incidents reported this year. the nypd says it has arrested a second person in connection with the beating of a jewish man last week during clashes between pro-israeli and pro-palestinian demonstrators. officials say five men attacked 29-year-old joser borgen, had o h on -- on his way to a rally at the time. it's not just new york city. anti-semitic incidents like that one are becoming more common. the anti-defamation league

received 190 reports of anti-semitism in the u.s. last week. a 47% increase from the week before. that's part of an international trend. holly williams has more from paris. >> reporter: as israelis and palestinians descended into deadly violence once again, there's been a spate of anti-semitism in europe. [ bleep ] incitements to rape jewish women blaired from cars in london. racist chants at pro-palestinian rallies in germany. and a far right-wing crowd giving the fascist salute in italy. >> israel -- >> reporter: turkish president erdogan was condemned by the u.s. state department last week after first criticizing israeli government actions, then saying this is in their nature, they are only satisfied by sucking blood. >> we feel like -- >> reporter: noemi madar ahead

of the union in france said it's sometimes used as a cover for anti-semitism. >> when there is something happening in israel, it arrives in france, and jews are the first victim of that. >> reporter: france is home to the biggest jewish population in europe. in recent years they've seen several deadly attacks and the desecration of a jewish cemetery with nazi swastikas. jewish people make up about 1% of france's population, but according to the latest government numbers, they're the victims of more than 40% of racist acts in this country. >> we call it the book of life. >> reporter: tom cohen is an american rabbi from portland, oregon, who's lived in paris for more than 20 years. he says many synagogues in france have special security measures. >> one of the things that we have to think about is having a

bulletproof windows placed in, having man-trap doors for the entrance and so forth. you have to -- to think about am i becoming a target or not. >> reporter: he told us he's also experienced anti-semitism in america where he says the authorities track it much less thoroughly. >> we have some dramatic events here, but i don't think we're -- i think it's being blind to think it's only here. in france, there is a law against anti-semitism. there isn't one in the united states. >> reporter: a deadly dispute in the middle east has fanned the flames of centuries' old prejudices in the west. for "cbs this morning," holly williams, paris. back in the u.s., american air travel is making a comeback. this memorial day weekend, 60% more americans are expected to travel compared to this time last year. the airline industry's also expanding. two new carriers have launched

during the pandemic. erroll barnett has more. >> reporter: if you're one of the more than 37 million americans expected to travel this memorial day weekend, you now have a few new cost-effective options at your disposal. >> $19 flight. doesn't really get any cheaper than that. >> we're trying to give customers choice. >> reporter: that's how ceo andrew levy is boosting demand for his new, low-cost airline. >> we have wonderful people. great low fares. we're excited to be out in the marketplace. >> reporter: avilo's hub is based in burbank and services 11 small airports including arcata-eureka, california, grand junction, colorado, and boseman yellowstone, montana. >> there may be other ways to get to these airports in the western u.s., maybe through l.a.x., maybe through a connection, but we're trying to offer something that's different to the customer, to the traveling public. >> reporter: it's already expanding with a second hub in

connecticut. last year the airline industry suffered more than $370 billion in losses due to covid. that led boeing's ceo to declare at least one airline would be pushed out of business. instead, two new ones sprung up. avelo and breeze airways with goals to tackle smaller airports across the country. >> by the middle of the summer, we'll be at 15 cities. >> reporter: breeze ceo david neleman is also testing a new market. >> welcome to breeze -- >> reporter: 97% of the routes on its network have new, non-top service including from hartford to columbus and providence to pittsburgh. its fares run as low as $39. >> the u.s. airline industry is recovering. it is recovering faster and better than many expected. >> reporter: henry harteveldt is an airline travel analyst and says the new airlines will help drive competition, making flying better for the consumer. >> these are both budget-focused airlines which means they'll bring more low-fare seats to

more communities. and that helps make air travel more accessible and affordable for everybody. >> reporter: now while this upcoming weekend is a boom for these smaller airlines, it is an open question as to if there are enough air travelers to sustain them long term. the last u.s. airline to launch, virgin america, folded back in 2018. and according to the faa, conflict in the skies is on the rise, and these low-cost carriers have to shake that -- that bus in the sky stereotype. but they offer no frills. and you get what you pay for. >> yeah. mom always said. people want to go someplace, anyplace. thank you so much. amazon is buying the legendary movie studio mgm in a blockbuster deal that brings james bond to amazon's streaming service. the studio will cost the online retail giant were m $8.4 billion with a "b." the deal includes the catalog of more than 4,000 movies and 17,000 tv shows. our lead national correspondent,

that's david begnaud, is in los angeles with more. good morning to you. how do you think that is going to change the entertainment business? what's the word? >> reporter: well, good morning, my friend. look, it means that people without amazon prime are going to have to buy another subscription. this is the latest move in the so-called streaming wars where streaming services are spending more and more on film libraries and big franchises to lure people like you and i in. from daniel craig -- >> the name is bond -- >> reporter: to sean connery, the world's most famous spy is headed to the world's largest online retailer, giving amazon's streaming library a much louder roar. [ roar ] >> bond is a huge part of this deal. it's probably the most lucrative franchise. it's deficit not just about bond. >> reporter: lucas shaw covers hollywood and tech companies for bloomberg news. he says amazon is also after mgm's deep catalog.

films like "thelma and louise," "rocky," "legally blonde," -- >> you got into harvard law? >> what in like it's hard? >> i would love to make an offer -- >> reporter: and tv shows like "shark tank" that amazon believes will help it broaden the appeal of its streaming service and pry away viewers from the competition. but at the end of the day, shaw says amazon's move comes down to one thing -- >> the truth is is that they're buying a movie studio still to sell you groceries. they want you to get the video service because it means you're paying for prime and are more likely to buy groceries and toilet paper and things like that. its main business is still being a retailer. still selling you stuff. >> reporter: as companies like amazon snatch up more content, it leaves consumers scrambling to keep up. >> to try to find everything you'd want to watch, you're probably going to pay for five, six, seven services. >> reporter:y is that sustainable? long. >> long term it's hard to say. some people are probably hoping you'll package services back together and buy something that

looks a lot like the old cable bundle. >> reporter: isn't that what we're trying to get away from? >> you know, you think it's something bad, and then you realized you miss it when you don't have it. >> snap out of it. >> reporter: there you go. the mgm acquisition is actually the second biggest in amazon's history. the largest was when amazon bought whole foods for nearly $14 billion back in 2017. it's still just a fraction of amazon's total valuation. do you know what that is? >> no. what is it? >> reporter: almost $2 trillion. that's a "t," trillion. >> i heard you. that's like bezos, jeff bezos, j.b., j.b., they ain't playing around. >> reporter: bezos bucks. >> thank you so much. ahead, the cruise industry relaunches after the pandemic. how ships and their passengers are dealing with new conditions

it's his mission to transform miami into the next

great tech capital. >> people brand miami, oh, miami's a hospitality town or just a retirement place. or this is just a in a moment time. and for me, this is a movement. >> thank you all for coming here -- >> reporter: mayor frances suarez is a miami born republican and cuban american with an appreciation for traditions. he's waging a marketing campaign trying to lure entrepreneurs to miami with the goal of turning paradise city into tech's new frontier. that inviindication came in the effort of a tweet? >> it did. it got 2.7 million impressions. it was a tweet from the founders fund who said what if we move silicon valley to miami. called the tweet heard around the world. four words -- how can i help? >> that tweet and other by a leading silicon valley venture capitalist helped inspur entrepreneurs to flock to miami for a tech week in spring.

the mayor embraced the moment by launching his tech talks and hosting business leaders in town hall-style conversations. >> we have very little homeless in comparison with major cities. very little crime in comparison with major cities. >> reporter: when you say you want to build the city of the future, how would that look like? >> i have two children. technology's here to stay. whether republican or democrat, it's not a partisan issue. as you think how do i create high-paying jobs, you have to attract the people that create these companies. >> reporter: people like jason richmond who relocated from new york to miami during the pandemic. >> i've seen a growing sort of ecosystem of talent pools coming here to miami over the last months. >> reporter: richmond works at safe graph. a data company that provided information to scientist, local governments, and even the cdc to aid in the pandemic response. >> trying to figure out where can i go somewhere warm with low taxes, healthy lifestyle. this was the natural choice. >> reporter: have you found the conditions for your company to

thrive in this environment? >> yeah. so i came down here to eventually build an office for the team. but i think that what the pandemic has proven is with the acceleration of digital transformation, you can really work from anywhere right. >> reporter: but not everyone is as optimistic with miami's future. >> when forest burn -- >> reporter: david wallace wells author of "the uninhabitable earth" says the cities may be under water. >> miami may be the most dramatic illustration of the crisis of sea level rise. you've started to see the army corps of engineers developing plans to protect major cities from sea level rise. the plan for miami includes sea walls on the mainland. it does not even attempt to protect any of miami beach or the rest of the archipelago which is essentially an acknowledgment from the army corps of engineers that that land is practically speaking lost. miami will still be there in 2050, but it will be dealing

with so much more climate struggle than we have. >> we're one of the few cities in the world spending hundreds of millions to make sure that miami is as water resilient as any city on the planet. as a resident of miami myself, there are days where we don't have a drop of rain and still we're -- we have flooded streets because of high tide. climate change seems to be -- yes, urgent matter, but also a long-term challenge. how do you balance those two? >> first of all, i have a great incentive to think long term in my two children. but there have been multiple climactic phenomena. we know what the challenges are. wire not putting our head in the sand. >> reporter: the mayor is working to ensure that any technological boom benefits everyone, especially since miami has a higher poverty rate than the national average. >> it's something we're intensional about. that's why we say we don't just want a miami that's here forever but for everyone. we're a community of immigrants. this is very natural for us to invite people from outside. and when they're coming here not just to buy property but to

build jobs which builds careers which has a generational impact on families, that for me is what makes it truly gratifying. >> reporter: >> to make sure nobody gets left behind, the cdc is providing underserved students with free high-speed internet access for two years, and it's working with programs to train adults so they have the skills necessary for the modern economy. gayle, anthoni, i think, you know, it's interesting, the mayor is a rising star in politics in florida. >> yes. >> a different kind of republican than what we're seeing right now. >>yeah. >> you can really feel his enthusiasm for what he wants to happen in the city. but when i think about florida, i go to miami sometimes for a long weekend because it seems very -- very fast. very fast to me. very fast. >> we'll see if this hold. if this is a movement, not just a moment. >> it's a very interesting transformation he's in the middle of. the challenges ready are clearly dramatic. >> it could change how we think of miami.

also, the other thing about florida, the taxes. everybody loves the lack of taxes in florida. >> we're seeing that. people from new york and california are moving to florida. >> that is very attractive. >> all right. you can hear more of the conversation with mayor suarez on today's "cbs this morning" podcast. an> and up next, cruise ships passengers get back on the water. see what they'll have to do before they leave port after a disastrous pandemic year. we'll be right back. dry eye e symptoms a again? inflflammation might t be to blamame. timeme for ache e and burn!! overer-the-countnter eye dros typipically workrk by lubriricating youour eyes d may prprovide tempmporary reli. thosose probablyly won't touou. xixiidra worksks differentnt, targeteting inflamammation tht cacan cause drdry eye disese. xiidra,.,... ...noooooo! it can p provide lasting g relief. xixiidra is ththe only fdad- apprproved non-s-steroid treret specificically for t the signsd sysymptoms of f dry eye didise one dropop in each e eye, twice a daday.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is that time again, time to bring you some of the stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. and jon is going first. yes, indeed. we love to see it -- my talk of the table is a los angeles toddler who's not only cute, she's a super genius. take a look. >> lithium. cobalt. phosphorous. neon. scandium. jargon. >> that's 2-year-old kashe quest. >> 2-year-old? >> naming chemical elements on the periodic table by the symbols. she can also identify all 50 states by their shape and

location on a map. her mom says her iq is 146. the average american's is about 100. kashe has been accepted into mensa, the high iq society. she is the youngest member of american mensa, and now she's learning spanish and knows more than 50 signs in sign language. despite kashe's high iq, her mom says she wants to make sure kashe has a typical childhood. you know, i got get kashe to help me with my homework. >> she's putting all of us to shame. >> wow. >> typical childhood, i don't know. >> i love -- >> i love the kashe, i love her hair. >> yes. >> i love her look. >> yes. >> and i hope mom can keep her -- to have a typical childhood. that would be very nice. look at her. >> so hard when you're that smart. she's a cutie. >> we love to see it. come on, kashe. yes. >> want to stick around to see what happens to her. it's sure going to be interesting. mine is about howard university's honoring one. its own, the late chadwick boseman. you remember chad very well. we lost him in august.

he died from colon cancer. what makes this so extraordinary is many people, most people didn't know that he had colon cancer. now they are naming a fine arts building after chadwick k bosem. so boseman delivered t the commencemement addddress atard back in 2018. >> i don't know what your future is, but if you are willing to take the harder way, the more complicated one, the one with more failures at first than successes, the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning, more victory, more glory, then you will not regret it. now, this is your time. [ cheers ] >> this is your time. thank you, chadwick boseman. it's going to be called the chadwick boseman college of fine arts. there's sort of a full-circle moment here because we told you this last week -- that felicia rashad is now going to be named the dean of that college. and why it's a full-circle moment is because she knew chad

as a student back at howard university. and because of felicia rashad, she went to denzel washington and got money for him to attend college, to attend classes at oxford university. she knew chadwick boseman very well. there is felicia rashad talking about chad. >> chadwick was given to study. he loved to study. he was a consummate artist. and without question one of the kindest and bravest people i've ever known. >> let's talk about that bravery for a second. number one, he was 43 -- we all know, extremely young. but he'd been suffering from colon cancer for a while and nobody -- even people closest to him -- didn't know. kudos to his wife, simone. we didn't know he was married. and simone has certainly shared a little bit of his life with us while she's been accepting -- doing the acceptance speeches from all the awards that he's won since he passed on.

but an extraordinary story. i think it's so admirable and fitting that howard university, where he graduated from, would honor him in this way. >> yeah. it's such a tribute. it's a really great tribute. >> it is. all right. my story has two notable elements to it. the first is the story itself about an iceberg, a giant iceberg that broke off from antarctica last week, and it is now officially the largest in the world. it's been given the name a76 which is not very poe e.t.popoe. there's an ice center made of the navy coast guard and noaa. this is almost 1,700 square miles, about 1.5 times the state of rhode island. >> ooh. >> 72 times the island that we are on, manhattan. s it's huge. the good news is there's no sign this is an unusual event with climate significance. so that's good. but it is, as i say, now the

largest iceberg in the world. the other notable fact about this story which i first read in "the new york times" is that the article was written by claire fahey who we know very well. she worked here until april. she left to go to the night nightmarenightm "new york times" -- she worked at here and "60 minutes." her first biline. >> do you know the song -- ♪ claire the moment i met you i swear i felt as if something somewhere ♪ >> bibert >> gilbert o'sullivan. >> good things happen to people who come here. >> that's right. we love to see -- >> jon batiste, you could make something of yourself. >> look, i'm going to accept that. i receive that blessing. come on. ♪ oh yeah ♪ >> all right. turning to our "a more perfect union" series which aims to show that what unites us as

americans is greater than what divides us. communities across the country are coming together to support and protect asian americans amid a rise in anti-asian attacks. nancy chen introduces us to some of the people trying to make the world safer by offering everything from self-defense classes to free car rides. we want to warn you, some of the images in her report may be tough to watch. yes -- >> reporter: with a background in martial arts, she calls herself new york tough. >> it would be good ton what to do when it's a frontal attack. >> reporter: tyler chang says she's been forced to get even tougher. >> i always check before i leave my house now, phone, wallet, keys, i make sure i have pepper spray and also my alarm. >> reporter: did you have that before? is that something new? >> that wasn't something that i carried until recently. >> reporter: that's because of recent scenes like these -- a 31-year-old woman in new york brutally attacked in the head with a hammer. a father of a 1-year-old knocked

to the ground and punched repeatedly in san francisco. and two women in baltimore were hospitalized after this assault involving a cement block. >> i warn my friends, you think that it won't happen to you. but it would. you just have to be prepared. mentally, physically. you got to be on high alert. >> reporter: being prepared by taking this self-defense class. >> you have to turn the whole way -- >> reporter: offered for free by boxer and filipino american ro malabanan. >> i had a lot of younger people reaching out to me. i've even had elderly women taking it because most of the elderly asian americans are being targeted. you have these cowards attacking people that can't defend themselves. people that should not have to worry about these things have to. >> reporter: worrying about elders weighs heavily on chang's mind. she and her mother have turned to a fund called cafe madicap. >> wherever she needs to go, i try to put her into a cab.

and i'm able to track her as she goes. >> reporter: it reimburses fare rides for asian women, asian elderly, and the asian lgbtq community. >> thank you. >> reporter: people across the country raising about $200,000 to pay for asian americans in new york to take ubers and lyfts to feel safer. >> this has helped us immensely because we can ingo to vaccinatn spoi appointments. >> reporter: the cafe was started with her own money. >> commuting to work, i realized i was constantly scared. as an asian american, i have the impression that nobody's really helping us. nobody's protecting us. but that perspective definitely changed as i was seeing all the donations and the support that was coming in. >> reporter: she says people of different backgrounds around the world have contributed to the effort. >> it restores humanity. it gives me a little bit more

confidence, as well, in other people. seeing the communities come together, it definitely restores faith. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," nancy chen, new york. >> that's a shame it has come to this. >> you hate to hear people describe themselves as constantly scared. >> yes. we have to get beyond the tribalism of the time that we're in right now. we have to get to what's underneath it. there's a lot of unhappiness. >> yes. >> and that's the root of what we're seeing. >> yeah. >> unhappiness and meanness. >> yes. >> i like the point in the story, you have to be a real coward to attack people who are defenseless. >> yeah. and as you say, it shouldn't have to come to this. it really shouldn't. >> nope. >> no. few people know what it's like to be a band leader for a late-night show. we've got one here, we're about to get another. "the late late show's" reggie watts is part of the select group. ahead he and jon will compare

we're about to come back in june. and we're going to get to the audiences again. >> that's what i heard. that's what i heard. that's so cool. congratulations. yeah. you know, as per usual, we have no idea. you know, could be last minute. the show changes every day. but i'm -- when i heard that about your show, i was super, super stoked. congratulations. >> yes. we were rehearsing yesterday, and i feel like the band coming back together and being in person is just like an anomaly now to play with people. have you all played together recently? >> yeah, yeah. we've been playing together for months now. so you know, our show is -- we've been together, but we haven't had audiences. but yeah. we've been probably back for about five months or so. >> yeah. but it's different without the people. we feel the energy from the audience, and that's the thing right there. that's thehole w -- that's the exchange. like i wonder what do you think will happen when the people come

back? do you want to change it up? you want to keep it -- i'm trying to change it up myself. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. you know, i don't know. i mean, right now weirdly we're like, oh, with them not there it's a little easier. but i -- but i will say, yeah. i mean, i don't remember honestly, i don't remember what it was like with an audience. it's been so long. so you know, i think with an audience does come back in some capacity, i think we're going to have to rediscover that relationship again. >> i'll bet -- reggie, i bet it will be like riding a bicycle. you know, the audience will be there -- because i certainly think that you feed off of them, and they give you great energy. but part of the fun of that show is watching you and james corden together. you two certainly play off of each other very well. and i'm wondering, do you all -- what is your process? do you -- one of you get an idea, the other gets an idea? or you're known for, as jon said, the way you improvise.

how does it work between the two of you because it is fun to watch. >> you mean like in the opening segment? >> yes, yes. >> yeah. i mean, yeah, that's like -- that's totally just free for all. i don't know what's happening there. it's like -- we came from the laundry -- we got our clothing laundered it came back a little extra starchy. what can we say? >> that's so great. >> so dumb. it was one of the dumbest -- >> it's so fun. >> sometimes dumb is the best. >> and reggie, you're a grown-ass man doing dumb-ass things on tv. but i think that's part of the fun. i'm not knocking it at all. >> i mean -- no, no, no. it's not lost on me. every single day i get up like, wow, okay, here we go. >> here we go. >> it's awesome. so lucky really. >> yeah. >> you just recently created your own digital app called wattsapp.

how did you come up with that concept, and what's it all about? >> what a great name, too. >> genius. >> great name. >> yeah. wattsapp. yeah, a lot of people think i'm joking. it's true. you know, i just wanted to have an app where i could put all my videos, music, do live streaming, get rid of my old electronics. i have a lot of electronics i try to get rid of. they must go. they must go. 30% off. but yeah. i mean, that's -- that's kind of what the app is for. and i'm going to be doing a live stream on the 13th of june that will be just on the app. so i'm trying to do special things on the app. it's basically just a special place for people who are interested in what i'm doing to check out what i'm doing. and it's fun. >> can we have a lightning round for you? jon's going to do the honors. are you game? >> okay. >> okay. all right. jon? >> all right. so brother reggie, you're a genius comedian, musician, you blend it together. you have so many different

interests. that's why i admire you so much. i have a few questions. answer the first thing that you feel. >> 30 seconds. go. >> vinyl or cassette tape? >> cassette tape. >> mm. turntable or synthesizer? >> since any sizer. >> 80s hair band or new wave? >> 80s new wave. >> biggie or tupac? >> ooh. biggie. biggie. >> okay. and one more -- first album you ever bought? >> oh, i think "prince and the revolut revolution," "around the world in a day." >> very good choice. very good choice. reggie patwatts, thanks for bei with us. you ka wacan watch reggie weekn on cbs. we'll be right back.

for anyone commuting using vta light rail this morning or this afternoon likely will have some bus bridges to work that out. plan for extra travel time. we'll have an update at 10:00. alternates are a choice. the freeways are starting to wind down a little bit. guadelupe parkway is a little slow. busy across east shore freeway west bound 80 highway 4 to the maze, about a 27 minute commute. a live look at the bay bridge where traffic is busy out of the east bay as you head into san francisco. we go from the live view of the bay bridge to a live view of the golden gate bridge. a beautiful view, no marine layer. if we look at the seven-day forecast, most days will not look like this. that's today where we are doing what we did yesterday and we are pretty much continuing average daytime highs for this time of year. look at sunday and monday, big
