7:04 am
accomplish there? >> well, good morning, anthony, from brussels. the president is hoping to build on what he called a series of productive meetings at the g-7 in england as he tries to restore relationship with nato allied after four years of a frayed relationship from the last administration. mr. bob is no stiden is no stra these meetings. >> america is back at the table. >> reporter: president biden is continuing his first international trip as commander in chief with plans to reaffirm america's commitment to nato. >> we believe that nato is vital to our ability to maintain american security for the ne next -- remainder of the century. >> reporter: today climate change, cyber attacks, terrorism, nuclear deterrence, nato in the rapidly melting arctic ocean, the rise of china
7:05 am
and russia's actions. on russia, the president is already talking tough, days before he's set to come face-to-takes with vladimir putin in geneva, switzerland. >> there's no guarantee you can change a person's behavior or the behavior of their country. autocrats have enormous power. they don't have to answer to a public. >> reporter: mr. biden agrees with putin who says the u.s./russia relationship is at the lowest point in years. >> i think he's right, it's at low point. it depends on how he responds to acting consistent with international norms. which in many cases he has not. >> reporter: but the president believes the u.s. can work with russia on key issues, including climate change and ending violence in syria. >> they have also bitten off some real problems. they're going to have trouble chewing on. >> reporter: on sunday before leaving the uk, president biden became the 13th american head of state to meet with queen elizabeth ii. >> reminded me of my mother in terms of the look of her and just the generosity.
7:06 am
>> reporter: the courtesy call capped three meetings with g-7 leaders, that included approving new plans to counter the rise of china and overhauling international tax laws, but leaders didn't set a firm date on ending the use of coal, one of the biggest contributors to global warming and progress on those issues can't be fully achieved anyway until the world gets control of the pandemic. here in brussels today, the president's also meeting with turkey's leader, erdogan, about that country's continued military involvement in afghanistan and the violence in syria. tony, that is certainly another high-stakes meeting to keep an eye on today. >> it is, indeed. ed o'keefe in brussels. thank you very much. for the first time in 12 years, israel has a new leader, benjamin netanyahu's battle to stay in power finally ended in defeat over the weekend after four extremely close elections in two years failed to unseat him. naftali bennett is the new prime minister, leading a fragile and politically diverse coalition government. president biden has already called to congratulate him.
7:07 am
charlie dagata is in jerusalem outside the parliament for us. what happens now? >> reporter: tony, in a sign of the tensions that are already here from day one, normally they would be small inauguration ceremony at the prime minister's office, but benjamin netanyahu has declined to take part. street celebrations broke out the moment it was announced that benjamin netanyahu's 12-year reign was over, at least for now. >> i'm overrun but i'm very happy. i've been crying for an hour. >> it's a celebration. it's better than my birthday. i'm 25 years old, and i've never been more happy in my life. >> reporter: deep divisions remain and the challenges ahead are many. but for those who have been pushing for benjamin netanyahu's exit, tonight there's cause for celebration. not for everybody. netanyahu greeted supporters who cheered him on after his loss,
7:08 am
underlying the razor-thin margin, just a single vote, that came at the end much a tumultuous session of parliament. netanyahu saddled with corruption cases he denies and defiant to the end, vowed to wage a daily battle, he said, in order to bring this government down. ousted by the man he mentored, 49-year-old tech millionaire naftali bennett. the new prime minister underscored the importance of the relationship with the u.s., thanking the biden administration for its backing during last month's conflict in gaza. but he doubled down on netanyahu's criticism of washington's pledge to renew talks with iran over its nuclear program, calling it a clear mistake. he leads a shaky coalition that crosses the political spectrum, from the far left to the hard right, including, for the first time, an arab islamist party. a coalition united by a singular goal that's already been achieved, getting rid of
7:09 am
benjamin netanyahu. in that phone call between president biden and prime minister bennett last night, they discussed the importance of the alliance between the united states and israel. the government faces its real first test tomorrow, a right-wing march planned. hamas has already called for a day of rage. >> charlie d'agata in jerusalem, thank you. the trump administration's clandestine reempb from apple reached inside the white house. former white house counsel don mcgahn was told last month that the justice department subpoenaed information about him and his wife in 2018. democratic congressman adam schiff and eric swalwell say the doj also obtained their information as part of an investigation into leaks to the press new since friday at least 139 people have been killed by gun violence across america. in austin, texas, at least one gunman open fire on a busy
7:10 am
street early saturday morning, wounding 13 people and killing 1. the alleged shooter, who was arrested, was described as a juvenile. in savannah, georgia, police are still searching for a person who killed one and injured seven others outside an apartment complex, including an 18-month-old baby. there were also high-profile attacks in chicago and cleveland, contributing to fears we could be in for a violent summer. the rate of gun crime in america spiked last year and has not shown any signs of going down. >> no, it hasn't. now to the covid pandemic and the dangerous delta variant first found in india, that is now causing trouble in china. health workers and scientist there is have been fighting it for the past three weeks. they say it could be a bigger threat than the initial coronavirus that originated in china 18 months ago. we're tracking the spread of the delta strain. >> reporter: good morning from here in hong kong, the epicenter of china's latest covid surge is
7:11 am
right behind me. all of that and that skyline there is in guangdong provence and doctors on social media say the delta variant makes people sicker faster. china is racing to stay ahead of the fast-spreading delta strain of covid. some people lining up for miles to get vaccinated in guangzhou. hundreds of thousands are in lockdown with workers in hazmat streets delivering of them food. they tested the population of 19 million. the epidemic in gaunnzhou. the delta variant first emerged in india this spring. 3,500 people are still dying on
7:12 am
average each day, the most of any country in the world according to "the new york times." and the strain is now the most common in the united kingdom. but there is some good news today. chinese health officials are saying the surge is easing but warning future flareups could follow. from here in hong kong, no variants of the delta variant because no tourists are allowed, only residents. case in point, myself. last month i had to do a three-week mandatory hotel quarantine. at the time it was longest in the world and some still say it was the most brutal. >> thank you. we have breaking news this morning. a new coronavirus vaccine is getting high marks in clinical trials. novavax says its two-dose vaccine is 90% effective and safe after being tested in 30,000 trial participants. the they plan to ask for
7:13 am
government participation. it's intended to target the virus in low and middle income countries. over the weekend leaders from the world's seven wealthiest democracies committed to donating 1 billion vaccine doses to poorer countries over the next year. the u.s. is contributing about half of those doses through a partnership with pfizer. jan crawford spoke with pfizer's ceo about this historic vaccine pledge and the challenges ahead. >> dr. fauci is kind of sounded the alarm about this delta variant. how confident are you that our current vaccine -- your current vaccine is going to protect against that? >> i think quite comfortable. we will not need special vaccine for it. the current vaccine should cover it. >> reporter: with growing concern over the delta variant across the world, pfizer ceo alb albert says the pharmaceutical
7:14 am
giant is ready to jump in. >> we have surveillance systems all over the country, all over the world. and when new variant emerges, immediately we are testing how the current vaccine behaviors compared to the variant. >> we are getting to the six-month mark of people in the u.s. getting the vaccines. has pfizer determined that we will need a booster shot? >> no, we haven't determined. >> reporter: based on the data, bourla says pfizer is anticipating people will need a booster shot, essentially a third dose within 20812 months of their second chance. by fa, pfizer hopes to reformulate its covid vaccine so it will not require super cold storage, and it anticipates the vaccine will also be approved for children as young as 5. >> we will be able to vaccinate
7:15 am
a significant population, it's very hard to reach herd immunity. when you reach herd immunity, you protect the others as well. kids play a significant role in doing that. >> the united states has answered the call. >> reporter: in england president biden said that worldwide vaccination efforts would be a constant project for a long time. pfizer is committed to donating a total 2 billion doses over the next year and a half. most of them going to lower income countries. >> here in the united states, about half the population has gotten at least one dose, but in africa, less than 2% can we really contain this virus until we can get it to these countries more quickly? >> i would like to think the first and foremost because it is the right thing to do. but also, setting aside the moral concerns, i think it is also very important for controlling globally the pandemic. >> reporter: despite the miracle of science, the fastest ever development of a vaccine bourla
7:16 am
now worries about people who refuse to take it. with vaccination rates slowing down, he has this message to those who are reluctant. >> i try to explain to them that the decision to vaccinate or not is not going to affect your life, but unfortunately, will affect the health of others. and the health of people you like and you love the most. when you try to explain that their fear could stand in the way to protect your loved ones, i think this is the argument that mostly works. >> and i think that argument only works if it comes from someone in your community, not a ceo or medical expert. >> you need to hear it from other people. i am struck by, as jan called t the miracle of science. how effective this vaccine has been against all the variants. >> and the g-7 committed to 1 billion doses, but they need 11 billion, says the w.h.o. >> it's a big world. >> yes, it is. now to an update on a story we reported last week. a federal judge has dismissed a
7:17 am
lawsuit filed by houston hospital employees over a covid vaccine requirement. in is a big deal because it it's the first federal ruling on vaccine mandates. after months of warning, the houston methodist hospital system suspended nearly 200 employees who refused to get vaccinated. 117 of them filed the lawsuit, which referred to the vaccine as a, quote, medical experiment or form of medical experimentation. in a ruling saturday, the judge dismissed that as false and irrelevant and said requiring the vaccine doses does not violate federal law. the hospital system said it was pleased and reassured by the decision and all employees have now met the requirements of the vaccine policy. two workers chose to leave the hospital over it. those who sued say they will appeal and nationwide other hospital systems have introduced similar vaccine mandates. this is the first note in the conversation, not the last, at least from the legal perspective. >> a very interesting case. ahead, as more people fly again, airlines are dealing with
7:18 am
a troubling new problem. we'll look at what's behind a surge in
7:19 am
7:20 am

welcome back to "cbs this morning." air travel is bouncing back in the u.s. i took a flight to get here to new york. on friday tsa checkpoints screened more than two million people a day for the first time during the pandemic. but there's a lot more trouble in the air because of a growing number of disruptions on planes. these people had to subdue a man in the middle of a flight over the weekend. erroll barnett is at reagan national airport outside washington. it seems like there are more and more of these incidents. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. i'm confident you were well behaved on your flight, but the reality is the faa is reporting there have been more than 3,000 complaints of unruly passengers
7:31 am
just since january 1. compare that to the past decade where the agency says it investigated 1,500 incidents total. and you're right, for the first time in recent memory, we're now seeing an off-duty flight attendant as the one allegedly causing the disruption, and it was all caught on video. this was the chaotic scene aboard delta flight 1730 friday night as travelers were called in to action to assist the flight crew in subduing a disruptive man. >> i heard the pilot from the cockpit going, if there's any large men on board, please come to the front of the plane immediately. we have a crazy passenger. >> reporter: brandon was seated near the off-duty flight attendant who caused the scene and watched the struggle up close. >> a huge fight, they get him on the floor, and he's flailing everywhere. his legs are flying in the air, his arms. he's screaming. there's passengers screaming -- especially after a year of being locked up. we're finally vaccinated, trying
7:32 am
to travel, and just everyone is acting crazy on planes now. it's making people not want to fly. >> reporter: earlier this month, another man was restrained after trying to breach the cockpit on a flight from l.a.x. to nashville. >> hey! >> reporter: while in may, this woman was charged with felony battery after video showed her punching a southwest flight attendant. while air rage has been an issue for decades, this surging conflict has some flight attendants scared to work, that's according to sarah nelson, the president of the flight attendants association. >> we are on track to have 60 times the number of unruly passengers as we might have had in a typical year. >> reporter: over just the last six months, the faa says it received almost 3,000 reports of unruly passengers. mostly related to refusing to comply with mask mandates. >> people have an idea that on the plane it's a different set of rules. not to mention all the stresses that people experienced over the last year, all the uncertainties that they went through.
7:33 am
people are feeling like enough is enough. and they're really acting out. now they're getting out and wanting to be free, and the first thing they have in front of them is a combat over a mask. >> reporter: in an effort to curb some of these incidents, several airlines have gone as far as to suspend alcohol service. but with longer security lines like here at dca this morning and more crowded aircraft, the fear is that this may just be the beginning of a difficult summer of travel. and a reminder for everyone, including anthony and the rest of us, the federal mask mandate for air travel remains in effect until september 13th. >> yeah. i think we can all put up with it for a little while longer. thank you. 60 times the number of unruly passengers. >> people behaving badly. >> i know. must be all the anxiety from this pandemic year. i mean, we have to treat each other nicely. >> i know. we can deal with this a little while longer. we've gone through so much. coming up, a former cia official details a dangerous and invisible attack he says he

president biden meets with russian president vladimir putin this wednesday in geneva amid growing suspicions russian intelligence officers are behind mysterious and debilitating attacks on u.s. personnel. there are at least 130 suspected
7:39 am
cases of havana syndrome first reported in cuba. cbs news has learned that suspected cases are spread across at least six countries. and among defense department employees, they offer occurred near active russian operations. cbs senior investigative correspondent catherine herridge spoke to a former cia officer who said he was also a victim. catherine, good morning to you. >> reporter: tony, good morning. cbs news has learned the u.s. government is fast tracking censor technology to detect the events as a cia veteran goes on the record about the most devastating attack of his career. >> this is an act of war against -- against u.s. officials. >> reporter: a seasoned cia officer, marc polymeropolous, ran clandestine operations across europe and asia. when he traveled to moscow in 21 2017, the eyes of russian intelligence did not phase him. >> even in the hotel room, in a gym a guy in a trench coat checks on me down there. so not unexpected.
7:40 am
part of the job. >> reporter: then in his hotel room, the trip took a dangerous turn. >> i woke up in the middle of the night because i had this incredible case of vertigo. it felt almost as if i was in some kind of, you know, carnival ride. i'll tell you, i had spent years in war zones of iraq and afghanistan. i put my life on the line. this was the most terrifying experience of my life. i had no control. >> reporter: back in the u.s., marc reported to the cia medical office. >> i said, is this consistent with havana syndrome? and their answer was no. >> reporter: havana syndrome is the name given to a mysterious neurological condition first reported by state department personnel in cuba five years ago who experienced a similar set of symptoms. pressure in the head. >> yes. >> reporter: loss of balance? >> yes. >> reporter: ringing in the ears? >> yes. i've had a headache for three years. it feels like a vice clamp down here and there's pressure that comes over the top of my head. >> reporter: marc says it took three years to get help at the walter reed military hospital. >> they diagnosed me with a
7:41 am
traumatic brain injury. it's on paper. i have it. i was there when he actually takes the paint and throws it against the canvas. >> reporter: marc's cia colleague who was also affected painted this picture called "the gunshot," during their walter reed art therapy sessions. >> this is the invisible wound that no one believed us for a long time. >> reporter: the national academies of sciences recently found the most plausible explanation was pulsed radio frequency energy. there are no public images of the alleged device. a knowledgeable source told cbs news the technology behind this russian-made microwave generator from the '90s is likely similar to today's smaller mobile units. in recent months, two suspected cases were reported near the white house. this is clearly an escalation. >> reporter: republican senator susan collins authored legislation that gets victims medical and financial support. >> this bill will provide
7:42 am
much-needed assistance to the employees of the intelligence community, the state department, and other federal agencies. >> reporter: in a moment of rare bipartisanship, the senate passed the bill unanimously last week. is russia responsible? >> russia is certainly a likely suspect. president biden should send an unmistakable message to the russians that if they are behind these attacks, they must stop them immediately. we have to have full cooperation from the russians, or they must be made to pay a price. >> reporter: still unable to concentrate for more than a few hours at a time, marc made the hard decision to retire from the agency he loves. >> who feels safe to serve now overseas with this happening? my contention is it's the russians. whatever adversary is doing this certainly has not seen anything from the u.s. government that's%
7:43 am

we're we're approaching another solemn moment in the pandemic, the loss of 600,000 lives in america due to the coronavirus. in a new book a former white house senior adviser for covid response argues much of this disaster could have been prevented. andy slavitt left president biden's covid response team last week after taking on the position in january.
8:13 am
his new book offers an up close look at the crisis and how leaders responded called "preventable -- the inside story of how leadership failures, politics, and selfishness doomed the u.s. coronavirus response." and andy slavitt joins us now. andy, good morning to you. good to have you with us. i had a complicated question to start with, but my co-host this morning, adriana diaz, suggested a far simpler one. the book is called "preventable." how much of this pandemic was preventable and how? >> of course we would have had a pandemic here in the u.s. no matter what, but, look, we can count the mistakes, and i think it's important that we do, if for noll else so we don't repeat them. we had technical mistakes with the testing and the ppe. we made two other types of mistakes that caused a lot of loss of life. one were plainly political leadership mistakes. we denied the virus for too long
8:14 am
out of the trump hite house. too much dissent and playing on divisions. i think we need to look at one another and ask ourselves what do we need to do better next time. in many respects being able to sacrifice a little bit for one another to get through this and to save more lives will be essential and that's something that i think we could all have done better on. >> so when we look in the mirror and evaluate our own role, the public, and we think about the possibility of a difficult fall or winter or a difficult variant, what more needs to be done now to prepare ourselves as the public putting aside the government and the scientific part of this? for us as the public, what is the message? >> there's a couple of simple things. one is that all the people that for so long lived so close to the edge that don't have a great safety net, that don't have great health insurance, but they're forced to work day in and day out to serve us, they're growing crops, delivering food to our warehouses. they're working at grocery stores, delivering food to our
8:15 am
door, all those people are at risk all the time. and so there's a chapter called the room service pandemic and it talks about how a lot of us had it quite okay in the pandemic so we should be looking at that. and then, look, preventing the spread is about not breathing near one another in large spaces. that's really it, if you want to be overly simple about it. and that requires a certain amount of sacrifice and change for a short period of time. none of us can do it forever and it's not pleasant. but when we do, we reduce the amount of spread dramatically. if the variants come back in the fall, as they will, the people unvaccinated really are going to need to pay serious attention and get vaccinated. we have great vaccines on the market. >> in terms of what may happen in the future, do you think we are ready for another pandemic that will inevitably come and affect us? >> i don't think we are. i don't think we are for a couple of reasons. one is i think we need to have a
8:16 am
dialogue in this country about what matters. is it more important to have individual liberties that we don't wear a mask or is there some common good we should all be working towards? i think we'll do a better job technically. i think we will put money into public health and have woken up a bit and our experience will allow us to respond better. but a divided country with leaders that play against our greatest fears which divide us, and if we deny science, we're going to have trouble again. so hopefully we'll learn some of those lessons. >> you mentioned the vaccination rate. it's 64% of american adults have had at least one shot. the hope is by the biden administration we get to 70% by july 4th. questionable whether we will get there. there's still a lot of resistance to vaccinations. how important is it, do you think, that we get this number up significantly higher? >> well, look, i think there's a lot of us taking a vaccine wasn't a very involved decision. we made it right away.
8:17 am
we wanted to get vaccinated. we knew we did. there's a number of other people and they're not necessarily anti-vaccine but want more information and it takes a little bit more time. and so we have to respect that process even if we're not going to vaccinate people as quickly as possible. i'm confident that over time we will begin to vaccinate those people. we have to make sure they don't go to places like facebook to get information about vaccines but go to reliable sources. if euryou're not sure if you shd get vaccinated, talk to your doctor, your pharmacist, don't follow the mythology because we have three great vaccines people all around the world would love to have causing great pain and suffering if you look across the world. we're lucky to have them. if you need more information, get more information. >> we do have some great vaccines and the first in what will be a shelf of books looking back on what happened and why with this pandemic and how it could be different in the future. yours is the first entry and a great one. thank you very much. the book "preventable" goes on

♪new w york♪ it's that time again, wedding season is under way. it is extremely busy after thousands of ceremonies were postponed last year. according to the website the knot, the number of couples ordering save the dates more than tripled at the start of this year compared to the fall. and couples are feeling more confident about inviting in-person guests with about 63% saying they'd have more than 100 people going to their weddings. many questions still remain on how to plan or attend a wedding during the pandemic. lauren kay, executive editor of "the knot," joins us now. i'm going to a wedding later this month, and i am so excited you'd think i was getting
8:21 am
married. there are a little bit of nerves just about doing this again for the first time. for couples planning weddings now, what should they consider especially in terms of size? you know, you want to have all your friends and family, but you also want to be safe and not be responsible for anyone possibly getting sick. >> absolutely. so safety measures are still top of mind for couples getting married. this whole new normal is a very fluid, ever-changing situation. so follow your cdc guidelines. follow your local and state guidelines. and think about things you can do to make your guests feel more comfortable. we found that when we surveyed guests over 70% wanted to know the safety precautions that couples were taking. put that information on your wedding website, let them know if you're wearing masks, if you're mandating vaccines. that will make everyone feel a little safer when they're celebrating. >> is it okay to mandate vaccines and if so, what's the proper etiquette you think just to make that ask a little smoother? >> it is such a personal choice. depends on how you're getting married, where you're getting married. this are so many factors. the best thing is to arrive at a
8:22 am
decision and communicate to your guests. we see as more vaccines become available, more and more couples expect that their guests will have an opportunity to be vaccinated. into the 2022 wedding season, we're expecting about one in three couples will require vaccinations. so it's definitely happening, but it's a personal choice you have to make. >> lauren, so many couples postponed weddings over the past year and a half. now there's like a mad rush to the altar. is it possible that get a deal at this point given that everybody is in such high demand? >> you know what i love about this pandemic is it's required everyone to get creative when it comes to weddings. so you're right, very few people actually canceled. most postponed, and we're seeing 47% of weddings this year happening between july and october. so the competition is real. so the cool thing, though, is people are thinking outside the box. they're having ceremonies on different days of the week. they're hosting a brunch reception. they're thinking outside the box when it comes to venues. and that's what's bringing a lot of the originality of the
8:23 am
couples into play here, and it makes it possible for everyone to still get married. you just have to get a little creative. >> lauren, as much as i love a good wedding, i think the couples are probably looking forward to the honeymoon a little bit more than the gathering of all these people and all these complicated etiquette questions. when it comes to honeymoons, the really fun part, where are people going, and what should they be considering as they take that jump? >> so safety's still top of mind. a lot of couples are putting that big life-changing trip on hold because borders and travel restrictions are still in play. and they're taking what we're calling a nano-moon. they might be headed to a vineyard, a beach, a national park. anything with outdoor appeal is definitely trending right now. and they're taking a little weekend away just to recharge and experience life as newlyweds. they're planning a much bigger trip when borders and restrictions lift layer in the year or next year. >> let's talk about the thing you're not supposed to talk about -- money. what do you suggest for people who have been affected by the pandemic, people are hurting now in their wallets, what's appropriate for a gift?
8:24 am
>> so we obviously let your relationship really determine how much you're going to spend on a wedding gift. always spend with what's in your means, you're comfortable with. if it's a close friend or family member, you might spend closer to the $100 to $200 range. if it's a co-worker or a casual acquaintance, you might be more in the $50 range. in an urban city you might spend more. it's dependent on what you're comfortable with and your relationship with the couple. the other thing to keep in mind is group gifting. a lot of people experienced financial hardships due to the pandemic. a group gift is a great way to all pull money together and get something really fantastic from the couple's registry. >> quickly, if someone you know got married during the pandemic in a small ceremony, but you weren't invited, should you still send them a gift? >> i say do. you know, you celebrate these people. they had to plan, postpone, plan again. get them the wine glasses. they'll use those a lot. >> good solution. >> a great idea. >> lauren kay, a pleasure having

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's that time again, time to bring you some of the stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. and tony is starting us off. >> so as we've let our viewers know in the past, on july 20th, jeff bezos and his brother are going to be going up on a suborbital space trip. they auctioned off a third seat on the flight. 7,600 people bid on it from 159 countries, and over the weekend a winner was declared. take a look. >> and that is sold, $28 million, to number 107! >> $28 million. >> that bidding escalated a lot. wasn't it around $2 million?
8:31 am
>> it was about $3 million when we first talked about it. the winner of the auction is still anonymous. and gayle king is not here at the table this morning to deny it was her. i'm going to go ahead and assume gayle king is going to space on july 20th. >> an astronaut gayle. there's an idea. >> astro gayle. would you guys go up? >> 100%. >> we've discussed this. yes. yeah. >> gayle says it's a hard no. >> i know. it definitely wasn't her. >> i might pay $28 million to see gayle go up. that i might do. >> it was you bidding for her. >> if gayle didn't get ticket number three, intrigue -- there's apparently going to be a fourth person announced for that flight sometime in the next six or eight weeks. >> wow. all right. >> no more information than that. >> the plot thickens. interesting. >> the money they made off that they're going to put toward a foundation to help kids with s.t.e.m. education. that's nice. >> very nice. okay, so mine is about chicago, my home base, which fully represented on friday. we're -- reopened on friday. we're the largest city to drop
8:32 am
all restrictions since the pandemic began. to celebrate, this is cool, the city scattered hundreds of $250 gift cards at businesses around chicago. the giveaway basically encourages people to visit local businesses again now that there are no longer capacity restrictions or social distancing. so you know, this was lori lightfoot's way of encouraging people to get out, spend money, enjoy the city. and almost like a thank you for -- for all the sacrifice. and then wrigley field was packed this weekend. >> look at that. >> whoa. love it. >> the best part was on friday bill murray showed up and took the mic and serenaded the crowd. ♪ for it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game ♪ >> he's still got it. >> he's holding that note for all it's worth. >> and then he said this is what it feels like to be 100%.
8:33 am
nice to see celebration. >> it looks great. i got to say. >> that's cool. i hope toddler teddy was watching. that's his favorite song. he loves the counting part. >> very cool. saturday, speaking of this weekend, saturday was something called "record store day." and i went shopping because there were a couple of really interesting things i was interested -- record store day celebrates independent record stores all over the world. in this country especially, too, it was started i believe here. there was an album that i heard about called "songs for you volume," that's volume two, but volume one. because it had a cut on it that's really cool. a never-before-heard recording of roberta flack performing marvingaye's "what's going on". ♪ talk to me and you will see what's going on
8:34 am
what's going on ♪ >> magnificent roberta flack recorded that almost exactly 50 years ago. she was in the studio recording her third album called "quiet fire," marvin gaye's song had just come out. the band just started rif f'ing on it, playing it in the studio, and an engineer decided i should role tape on this. they just kept it for 50 years. they never did anything with it. it's really a -- just a moment captured, a moment in time. i remember that summer when that song came out and how moved everybody was by it. and you could tell how copy form a local record shop in new york called inner sleeve records. there it is playing on my turntable. >> all right. >> there's inner sleeve. they were so busy, it was great. i loved seeing this. this is -- this is a holiday in effect for music geeks, and i was there.
8:35 am
the other cool part is there are two record store days this year. the next one will be in july when volume two comes out. also on this album, by the way, cuts by kommon, herr, some really great stuff, and this album benefits black-owned independent record stores. >> you are the coolest. >> no, this -- this is so cool. i love this. >> awesome. >> no turntable in your household? >> you got to go to record store day. a new memoir by amanda kloots, wife of the late nick cordero, the tony nominee lost his battle with the coronavirus last july after spending 95 days in the icu. amanda helped inspire tends of thousands of people to rally around him on social media. she shared updates on his fight and led daily sing-alongs to his song "live your life." ♪ i wish you well and will be on the other side biding my time ♪
8:36 am
♪ live your life like a rock star ♪ >> she's sharing the story in "live your life: my story of loving and see losing nick cordero." she wrote it with her sister, anna kloots. amanda, also a co-host of te kentuk"the talk," joins us. i know this book has to mineean. . you started it a couple of month after you lost nick. why was it important for you to take on this? >> good morning. thank you guys for having me today. you know, i started it two weeks after nick passed actually. i was back in ohio with my family kind of taking some time to kind of process everything. and you know, i'll tell you, i don't think i could write this book now. when i started this, you know, putting everything down on paper, everything was just so in front of my mind. you know, the doctors, the
8:37 am
medical terms, the numbers, the machines. and it just -- honestly, it felt so good to write it down, to get it out of my head and put it on to what i'm going to say paper, but on a keyboard to my laptop. it was extremely therapeutic. and really cathartic to kind of take that trauma and put it down on a piece of paper. >> and your sister anna joined us. what was that process like? >> you know, honestly, i don't think i could have done it with anyone else. anna was with me for the 95-day battle with nick. she also was with us in new york. she was kind of like our third wheel, our whole relationship. she was on part of our honeymoon with us. and not only that -- yeah, she was. you know, she's my best friend. and we speak telepathically. she is my right arm. and she was in paris and i was in los angeles, and because of the time difference, we honestly were writing almost in 24-hour
8:38 am
cycles. i would go to sleep, she would be waking up. i would send her chapters, she would wake up, work on those chapters, she would go to bed, i would wake up and start writing again. so someone was working on this book constantly which is i think why we were able to write it in six months, which is i've learned because this is my first book, that that's unheard of. >> that's amir kelly. that's what it is -- a miracle. that's what it is. six months. >> i remember watching your journey on social media and on this program, you know, as nick was going through his battle. and i was so struck by your positivity. what was your secret for maintaining that attitude, and what's your advice for people who are grieving loved ones lost during this pandemic? >> you know, thank you so much. the head doctor, dr. david eng, he and i just became like war buddies through this battle. and day one he told me, he said, amanda, if we look at this in a
8:39 am
positive light, there's possibilities. and if we look at in the negative light, we have no options. and that is in the book, and i always have lived a positive lifestyle. i start my day every morning with a positive thought, and i put it on my instagram stories to share with all my followers. but that just really stuck to me, and it still does today. and you know, i think grieving is -- is tough. it is a road that you can only go on yourself. it is a roller coaster, it is ups and downs and twists and turns. one minute you're smiling and laughing, and then the next minute you're in tears. and you really can't explain it. and it's just -- it's a tough road, but i really do think that if you can find one thing a day, one thing that keeps you happy, one thing that makes you smile, by the end of the week, you have this beautiful bouquet, and you just have to find those little things throughout this journey. >> that's a beautiful way to put it.
8:40 am
it's tony here, we said earlier that we're approaching 600,000 deaths due to the coronavirus. you're certainly one of the best-known families to have gone through that terrible loss. there are so many others out there. i'm curious, as you were writing this book, did you have a sense that -- you had a duty to represent what all those other families were going through, as well, and if one of those families should pick up the book, what do you hope they get from it? >> i think, you know, yes, absolutely, that crossed my mind. it's impossible to write this book and not think about the loss that the world has had from coronavirus. and it's just heartbreaking. it's absolutely heartbreaking. and i never thought in writing this book i would feel like that i was kind of writing nick's closure to his story, but i really do believe that in writing this he now knows everything that happened to him because he didn't know. i never let him know really any
8:41 am
of the negative things that were happening on a daily basis, that roller coaster ride in the icu was so tough. you know, i just think that we have to keep moving forward. we have to still wear our masks and try to socially distance, and just be careful and get your vaccine. and as we slowly come back into the world, you know, just don't forget where we were a year ago. and how things have changed, and it's wonderful to see. i mean, to see chicago like that, i honestly was almost in tears. but also it's crazy to think where we were just a year ago. how different our lives were. >> amanda, we've got to go. i want to thank you for joining us. i also want to mention we saw pictures of elvis who just turned 2, your son. he looks great, as well. thank you so much for being with us.
