7:03 am
my name should be in lights on the stadium where they're executing us for our terrible impressions of him. >> this morning's eye-opener is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. >> for the record, i think you should have been mentioned. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're going to get to alarming new evidence of a spike in the pandemic among those who have not received a vaccine. a month ago the highly contagious delta variant accounted for just over 2% of covid cases in america. now that number is up to 20%. this comes as the white house said it will not reach president biden's vaccination goals by the 4th of july. omar villafranca is in branson, missouri, a state leading the country in covid cases per capita. what are officials saying? >> reporter: they're saying that people need to get vaccinated. it's a lack of vaccination that's causing the virus to spike.
7:04 am
here in the branson area only one in four people are vaccinated and that's left a lot of people vulnerable right at a time where they're about to see the biggest crowds of the year. it's summer in the ozarks, a popular vacation destination for midwesterners and southerners alike. right now the region is one of the hottest hot spots for covid-19, according to dr. terrance coulter. what are you worried about? >> i'm worried about the perfect storm brewing, the lifting of the mask mandates, the vacationers coming and going, low immunization rates and the arrival of the delta variant which is highly prevalent in the area. we're a hot spot and this is going to explode outward. >> the delta variant is being blamed for a sharp rise in hospitalizations in southwestern missouri, up 196% in the last month. the variant now accounts for nearly half of all covid cases across ten states.
7:05 am
in springfield, it's been detected in the majority of patients. >> who are the people ending up in your hospitals now? >> disturbingly what we're seeing is more and more younger patients being admitted, and these are the unvaccinated. this is the gap in our armor. they feel they don't really need it, they're invincible. >> that's exactly how 50-year-old louie michael felt. >> you think you're strong and physically in shape and moving along just fine. >> until he and his wife ended up in a hospital last month. michael told us he was on the fence about the shot. he hadn't caught the virus and wasn't sure he ever would. >> i got a little cocky about it, and now that we've got the new strain, it seems to be dive-bombing anybody that didn't have problems before. so i regret not having it. if you can go and get this shot now, and bypass what we've been through the last two weeks, you feel like you're going to die. it's horrible. >> reporter: dr. dr. coulter
7:06 am
said at the peak of the pandemic, seven people were dying a day at his hospital. i said, are you ready for another surge? and he said, we have to be. anthony? >> thank you. we're joined by dr. anthony fauci. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning, anthony, and happy birthday. >> thank you very much. dr. fauci, as we just heard omar report, the delta variant now accounts for nearly half of all covid cases across ten states. why is this the most dangerous variant we've seen so far? >> well, it spreads much more efficiently than the virus that we've been used to over the last several months to a year, and also data from the uk indicate that it also is more dangerous and that it makes you more seriously ill. so the combination of a virus that spreads more rapidly and has the potential to make you
7:07 am
more seriously ill is a threat we have to worry about. that's the concern in unvaccinated people. the good news is that the vaccine protects against it. that's really another very powerful reason why we want people to get vaccinated, because this is a threat. it is now well over 90% of the isolates in the uk, this delta variant, which is causing them a considerable problem. >> you're expecting this to be the dominant strain in a matter of weeks? >> it will be the dominant strain among those areas, regions of the country where the vaccination rate is lower than we would like. for those areas where you have a high vaccination rate, you're not going to see that. again, another powerful reason why we need to get vaccinated. >> dr. fauci, why do you think the messaging from you and this white house administration wasn't able to get us to that 70% threshold? >> you know, i think we need to be careful because we've done
7:08 am
extremely well. so we're going to problyaby the 4th of july be 67%, 68%. that's really good. the 70% aspirational goal by the 4th of july to get individuals with one single dose, to get 70% of at least one dose, was an aspirational goal, but it was never the end game. we want to go right through july 4th, into the summer, continuing to get people vaccinated. so the fact that we're not quite at the 70% number by the 4th of july, i wouldn't make that much about that because we still have doe extremely well. we have over 50% of the adult population completely vaccinated, and about 65% of the adult population having received at least one dose. we're doing very well with the elderly. more than 85% of the elderly have been vaccinated with at least one dose. so we've done well. we don't want to fixate that we're a couple of percentage
7:09 am
points lower than what we would have liked to have been on the 4th of july. we're going to be close to that. >> dr. fauci, do we know whether kids 12 and under are more susceptible to this delta variant? >> you know, i don't think you can say they're more susceptible, but when you do have a virus that is much better of a transmitter, childrn are clearly going to get more likely infected than they would have with the original, for example, the alpha variant. so it isn't that they are more susceptible, but this virus is a more transmissible virus. therefore, children will more likely get infected with this than they would with the alpha variant. >> dr. anthony fauci, thank you so much for being with us this morning. we do appreciate it. >> thank you. good to be with you. and turning now to politics, democrats say they will continue the fight over voting rights after senate republicans blocked their sweeping reform bill, a
7:10 am
move to begin debate on the so-called for the people act failed last night in a 50/50 party line vote. 60 votes were needed. our nancy cordes is at the white house for us. good morning to you. what does the biden administration plan to do now? >> tony, the president announced say next week, but beyond that, there doesn't appear to be much of a plan, which is a reflection, frankly, of how few options democrats have on this issue in a divided senate. >> the fight is not over. >> reporter: vice president kamala harris presided over the senate during her party's failed attempt to advance a voting rights bill. >> the motion is not agreed to. >> reporter: every democrat voted yes, but it was not enough to overcome a republican filibuster. >> this vote, i'm ashamed to say, is further evidence that voter suppression has become part of the official platform of the republican party. >> reporter: the for the people act would have expanded early
7:11 am
voting and same-day voting registration, ended partisan gerrymandering and increased federal funding for election security. republicans argued the measure was too broad and would have diminished the power that states and local governments have over elections. >> the bill that we have in front of us is not so much about voting rights, as it is a federal takeover of the election system. >> reporter: the push for a federal voting rights law comes as republicans in 48 state legislators have introduced 389 bills this year alone to restrict voting access. the white house is rejecting criticism from some democrats who say the president hasn't been vocal enough. >> those words are a fight against the wrong opponent. >> reporter: president biden has tapped his vice president to lead the effort on this issue. o >> this is about the american people's right to vote, unfettered. it is about their access to the
7:12 am
right to vote in a meaningful way. >> reporter: one small victory for democrats, the entire party held together on this bill, which was not a given. today president biden switches gears. he's going to lay out his plans to combat a recent spike in gun violence, another issue that has been plagued by congressional gridlock in recent years. >> nancy, thank you. defense secretary lloyd austin said for the first time he supports a major change in how the military handles sexual assault cases. he said he will work to end the scourge of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the military. the change long resisted by the pentagon would give independent military lawyers, not military commanders, responsibility for handling sexual assault cases and related crimes. but it needs congressional approval. >> in an exclusive cbs news report last november, news anchor and managing editor norah
7:13 am
o'donnell spoke to soldiers about the current system as part of a long investigation. >> i faced immediate and consistent retaliation. >> after you reported your assault, you were stripped of your rank? >> yes, ma'am. they were trying to break me down. they just go after you because you're the victim and you're the problem. >> how many of you think there needs to be something massive that haptpens, like a me too movement for the military? >> all branches across the board, all of us need to feel like we can speak up and that you're never alone. >> and norah o'donnell joins us now. that was powerful reporting from last year. how significant is this endorsement or report from secretary austin, and what happens next? >> reporter: it is seismic. this is the first head of the pentagon to hear from victims of sexual assault and harassment
7:14 am
meet with them personally, and then say the first thing i'm going to do while secretary is bring together an independent commission to look into this and report it in 90 days. he did that. now he says he agrees with the findings of the independent commission, that the reporting and prosecution needs to be handled by an independent person, not the commander. this is what survivors, victims and their families have been advocating for for years. they say this is the change that is needed in the military, so military honorably, so that more women can advance to those roles of commander and leadership. this is seismic. the change that it could create, if congress goes along with what the secretary of defense has recommended. he's going to be testifying today in congress and he's also expected to brief the president about the findings of this independent commission. >> we'll be paying attention to that. did anything stand out to you in the language that secretary
7:15 am
austin used to offer his support? >> yes. it's an excellent question. there's something to point out. this is not just about sexual harassment and assault. it is also about domestic violence. and, in fact, this independent review commission recommended that cases of domestic violence als be included in the independent prosecution system. why? the numbers are even higher than sexual assault. there's a lack of transparency when it comes to domestic violence. they don't even track domestic violence in terms of in the military. and that is handled by commanders. if you are a victim or a survivor of domestic abuse, it gets reported through the commander. and the reporting that we have done, specifically from advocates and lawyers, say, look, the reason you can't keep it in the chain of command is because the command in the military, it's like a family. and i'm from a military family, i know this, too. in many ways it's patriarchal.
7:16 am
you view people that serve under you as part of your family. it's hard to believe that they would be carrying out violence or harassment or abuse. and also some of the data shows when it comes to assault and harassment, almost half of victims say they were told by their commanders to just drop it. and that's why there has been this push for a me too movement in the military, where our reporting shows that many of these survivors and victims and families who have had children who commit suicide say the system has to change. it has to get out of the chain of command, there needs to be an independent prosecutor. so i think this is a watershed moment. >> it's a big potential change if congress acts. we know you will stay on it. thank you very much. >> thank you, tony. >> in the latest clash between the u.s. and iran, the biden administration took down dozens of iranian linked websites yesterday. the justice department said the sites were connected to efforts to spread disinformation among
7:17 am
american voters. elizabeth palmer reports, the move comes in the middle of revived nuclear talks involving the u.s. and iran, and just after the iranians elected a new hard line president. >> reporter: the blocked sites were all news organizations run by the iranian state, including the english language press tv and the arabic language al-alam, and three sites run by hezbollah. >> the u.s. argues they're sites with propaganda, disinformation, misinformation sites, which are trying to sow discord. >> the protege of the supreme leader was elected on friday. he, like many other people and organizations in iran, are under
7:18 am
u.s. sanction. the department of justice says the blocked sites violated those sanctions because they were owned by a u.s. company. iran has called the action bullying, and says it proves the u.s. doesn't believe in freedom of speech. today many of the sites are back up and running on a different domain. this appears to have been a shot across the bows of iran as the nuclear talks enter what could be their final phase. >> that was elizabeth palmer reporting. ahead, a police officer who survived the assault on the capitol is speaking out and pressuring congress for an investigation. we sit down with officer michael fanone and two lawmakers supporting his

8:03 am
some speech by students not on school property during the school day, but it's more limited than if they were in school during the school day and they should be skeptical when schools are trying to do that. public schools have had a right to express unpopular ideas on some even with language people might think is appropriate. this is a strong defense of the first amendment for students. they say freedom of speech including unpopular speech is essential and schools are the nursery of democracy. jericka? >> jan crawford covering that breaking news for us, thank you. the irs has launched in online tools to help millions of families manage cass payments they could soon recover from the government. they could get a child tax of $3,600 for each child under 6
8:04 am
and $3,000 for children ages 6 to 17. the program begins paying families monthly started july 15th. jill schlesinger is here to walk us through the key details. good morning. long time no see. besides the dollar amount, what's the biggest difference in terms of this year's child tax credit. >> this enhanced credit is divided into two payments in half, and families that are entitled to it will be starting to get six monthly checks. it starts july 15th. you'll get half of that credit from july through december, and then the other half of the credit you will claim when you file taxes next year. so this is quite different because with the old tax credit you filed your tax return. again, half and half starts up july 15th. >> and who exactly qualifies for this new child tax credit
8:05 am
payment? >> well, of course, it's called the child tax credit, so you've got to have a kid under the age of 17 by the end of this year. by december 31st, you have to have had a child. okay. then there are income thresholds. these are really important. if you are a single filer, you'll get credit if you have up to $75,000 of income. per head of household, $112,500. for married filing jointly, $150,000. so those are the qualifications. i also want to make sure people understand. if you didn't file taxes, there are some americans who don't have to file taxes. there is a tool, a portal for the irs at the irs.gov website, and you can actually put your information in there, and that will entitle you to the credit. >> what will families need to do to get this money? >> the vast majority of people,
8:06 am
birthday boy -- did i slip that in? the vast majority of people don't have to do anything. now, this is really predicated on what has happened in the past. so if your income is about the same as it was last year, if you have the same number of kids, your address, your bank account information, you really don't need to do anything. the irs is proactively going to take action. however, if something has changed, you do want to go over to that irs website, irs.gov. it's the child tax carry portal. and you'll want to change the situation. if you've had a similar situation, no action, newer information, update. >> on the lower end i was reading even if you don't pay enough to pay federal income tax, you still qualify, totally refundable. i wanted people to know that. if the irs says you qualify but your income went up this past year, jill, what do you do? >> this is really tricky because
8:07 am
this is unlike anything we've seen in the past. so a lot of people made lower amounts of money last year during the pandemic. maybe your old information to the irs would make you qualify, but this year you might be making more money. so you're being asked by the irs to actually opt out. this is incredibly important because you have to be proactive. so to opt out go to the irs.gov website. there's a form there, and you click through it. the only reason you're opting out is because you think you made too much money this year to qualify for the credit. i would advise if you think you're on the bubble, don't know if you qualify or not, you can still opt out. that way next tax season if you do qualify, you can get the full credit. it's better not to get the money this year because if you get it and you don't qualify, you'll have to pay back that money to uncle sam next season.

. six best-selling young adult authors have teamed up to write a novel celebrating black love. "blackout" weaves together six stories of friendship set against a massive power outage in new york city.
8:15 am
first on "cbs this morning" we invited the six writers to come together in conversation. they're dhonielle clayton, tiffany jackson, nic stone, angie thomas, ashley wood foec, and nicola yoon. they garried in harlem to discuss the pandemic and representing women of color in joyful stories. >> i'm so excited to be here with all of you beautiful ladies that thank you. >> let's start with dhonielle. why don't you tell us the story how you roped all of us into doing this book with you. >> it's so funny how we all came together. i have a wonderful niece. she is 15 years old and she said to me, why don't the black girls
8:16 am
ever get big love stories? why are they always the sidekick? i thought, you're right. this is a problem. then the pandemic started. then on tv, we kept seeing black people being killed at the hands of police violence and it was super, superdepressing and upsetting, and i thought, we have to have some hope. i thought, okay, i'm going to rope all the people i love into writing a novel together, i mean lovingly. i felt really proud about what we made, and i think that when people read it, they will see all of that love and all of that light, which is what we needed when we were going through this pandemic. >> yes. >> and usually writing is like very isolating. >> that's what we all said. >> this was the best group project i've ever been a part of. >> yes, yes. >> absolutely. >> honestly, it was like
8:17 am
superorganic. >> dhonielle was like, you're going to do this, you're going to do this, and as we put them together, we interwove them wih characters. >> i could only see this happening, visualize this book as a local actually valentine's day. i have so much of a connection here i'm so excited to see so many other people fall in love with my city and fall in love in my city, and we all interconnected through our different characters and different neighborhoods and stuff. >> you really get the full breadth of new york city just from tiffany's story and then the way our stories sort of pop in as you get into each act of her story. >> not every story in the book is a traditional love story. how do you feel like the story kind of tice into the larger thing of love? >> i try to do that in my book,
8:18 am
show different kinds of love. it's not just romantic love. that's great. but family love and self-love. one thing that "blackout" does and it does so affirmatively, it tells kids you can be the center of a love story. we're telling them over and over their lives matter, but we're telling it in the context of trauma. >> by sharing the stories, it brings the message home that your lives matter, your dreams matter, your hopes matter, all of it, all of it matters. >> we've have alove story where she got to choose between two dudes because become children have love try aen giangles as w >> you have seen that all the time girls choosing between two
8:19 am
loves, "twilight" and "hunger games." but you don't see that with the black girls. >> this has lgbtq and other characters. especially since we have p.r.i.d.e. month. >> it's detrimental to never see themselves reflected in a positive way, so for me it's vital to tell as many types of stor stories, of love stories as possible. >> i feel the same way. i'll be honest. i think if i had read a book that had a queer black girl in a book when i was 15, i would have recognized the signs. the signs were everywhere. and, of course, the six of us can't right into every single experience or every single identity. we wanted to make it as inclusive as possible. like that is why those stories are there because we were those
8:20 am
kids and they deserve a great love story just as much as everybody else. >> recognizing the humanity in all different ways of existing. >> yeah. >> it will just make all of us kinder. >> i think that if any of our readers tune into this interview and they look at this and they're like, i read her book, i read her book, and they're all so different from one another. books, her thrillers, and ninicl a mends us with her stories. >> i write about boyce. there's something so rich and beautiful about black male teens and we never get to see that. i brought my boy character. >> i brought -- >> if you don't know, i can tell
8:21 am
you. >> -- the feel maybe. >> yes, yes. >> you didn't murder anybody. >> i'm proud of you. >> i feel like a brought a cheater for matt. i wanted to eded to make sure y had to bring fire. >> and tension. >> that's a feat, bringing suspense to a love story. >> look at you looking so proud right now. >> i really like to write about the pow over a big love, right, to change their life, so i think that's what i bring. people knock it all the time and they knock romantic stories, and we get so mad because love is all there is. you love your work, you love your art, you love your friends. love is a thing. >> we also brought yelling at everyone to add more kissing. >> we sure did. >> i think we're like the captain planet. >> all of our forces combine have now created this wonderful experience that as we move through the city and move through the stories and meet the
8:22 am
characters, it comes alive. >> i love that conversation. >> it was like we were sitting there, listening in. and i think as they talk about the power of showing these types of characters, there's so much power in seeing a piece like that and being able to feel the nuances of how they came to be and how this book came to be. >> i love the energy of all the different perspectives and the respect they show for each other. >> i really feel like they forgot the cameras. >> you love when that happens. >> we sure do. >> that's when the magic happens. >> "blackout" is on sale now and you can watch an extended version of their conversation on our website at cbsnews.com. ahead, britney spears is trying to regain control over her life. what we learn before she goes to court over the legal guardianship that has restricted her decision-making. you're watching "cbs this morning."

8:30 am
welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time to bring some of the stories that are "talk of the table" this morning. anthony, you're. first. >> i got a followup to a story from yesterday about major league baseball checking pitchers for illegal sticky substances. yesterday was day two of the inspections, and things, shall we say, got a little bit tense. washington pitcher max scherzer was checked three times during his five-inning outing against philadelphia. first couple times didn't bother him so much. the third check was requested by phillies' manager joe girardi. and you see his reaction. he got pretty annoyed. umpires found no sticky stuff,
8:31 am
but scherzer traded glares across the field with girardi. girardi was ultimately tossed out of the game. he tried to confront scherzer in that -- washington did go on to beat philadelphia 3-2. but as you see, this got heated. in texas, the oakland as relieve, sergio romo, got even more annoyed about his inspection -- >> what is going on? >> he threw his hat and glove on the ground and rocked his trousers as if to say i got nothing to hide. >> geez. >> my gosh. >> so it's getting a little bit more cranky. >> yeah. a little spicy, too. >> a little entertaining, as wel. i want to see how this goes. >> you don't know what's going to happen -- i feel bad for the umpires whose job it is to do this. >> i wonder how they are at tsa. >> exactly. i've got some news about new york maybe showing signs of a return to life. we've got a man on a mysterious futuristic hoverboard thing
8:32 am
moving through times square. and i think a return to stunts like these is a return of some kind of normalcy. also that thing looks amazing.% can you take it over the east river because it would help with the commute. >> yeah. i was going to say, you get to work a lot faster. >> it appears that this is a -- an engineer by the name of hunter cowald, engineer and youtube personality i should say. he told us he designed the sky surfer hover board aircraft as he calls it, and says he got permission in advance, although that was not able to be confirmed. not i don't -- >> the city -- you're not -- you can't fly drones in new york city. >> no. >> you can't ride on a drone like the green goblin without -- >> yeah. that is the most excitement i've seen in times square in about 15 months. >> there you go. >> nice birthday gift maybe? perhaps? >> i'll take that. my son would be very happy if i got that as a gift. my "talk of the table" has to do with track and field. christina clemons, she qualifiqualified
8:33 am
for the olympic team in 100-meter hurdles. that was this weekend. it was her jewelry that stole the show. clemons wore mini dorito bag earrings during the race, cool ranch flavor in cause i were wondering. her reason was simple -- he loves doritos and they matched her uniform. she posted photos and her feed grew up. doritos congratulated her on twitter calling her an icon. the account asked her to message the company directly so we can talk. clemons is 31, and the tokyo games will be her first olympics. this was not the first time that she's shown off her fashion. in a statement there, you see the clemons -- she shared this image of herself wearing a jewelled headpiece back in february. she says she believes in displaying fierceness while still being feminine. >> i would think earrings dangling while you were running would be a distraction. >> you would think so, but flow jo changed the games in how
8:34 am
women were able to show up and be stylish and school and feminine. i think she might have a problem with doritos -- >> who knew the earrings would blow up like that? >> i like them as chips. i don't know about earrings. >> only $8, by the way. >> i love it. >> we'll take it. our next guest, the one and only christine baranski. the actress has played diane lockhart for more than a decade. first on "the good wife" and now on "the good fight." the show highlights real current events. season five begins with the pandemic and the black lives matter movement. it also covers the 2020 election. so here is a first look -- and pay close attention, you may recognize a second familiar face. >> will 2020 be the year that maricopa changes? will it be enough for biden to win it all -- >> that's the champagne from the back of the fridge? >> yeah. >> that was for when hillary won. but i -- i can only drink it if
8:35 am
biden wins. >> it's odd you progressives resist the religion, you have 100 to take its place. >> go away, trump. >> i'm going. >> love me eaven if you lose. >> in case you missed him, that was our major garrett on the tv set in that scene. >> nice cameo. >> pretty good cameo. christine baranski joins us now. welcome. >> thank you for having me. and happy birthday. >> thank you very much. i gather you serenaded meryl streep on her birthday the other day. >> that was yesterday, audra mcdonald, my colleague and i sat on the sofa after work with prop bottles of champagne and gave a drunken rendition. i'm happy to repeat it for you. it's a little messy. >> a little early for champagne. >> yeah. >> is it? >> never. >> "the good fight," tracks with the events of 2020 quite closely which means you as an actor had to relive those events. >> i've been reliving as a
8:36 am
character because it's set in the present tense, my character feminist. so i had to live through all four years of donald trump because we've been on the air -- so she was always banging her head against a wall or trying to figure out how to cope. so yes, we relived events in the first episode. we -- we relived events of the past year. and that's the election and covid and black lives matter. but you know, the genius of the show is that it sets these characters in what we're living through now. and it impacts their lives. how does it impact their personal and professional lives. and now i happen to be a white woman as a named partner in a black law firm. >> right. >> that becomes an issue this season. and i'm married to a republican who may have voted for trump and, hmm, strange bedfellow. how do you work that out?
8:37 am
it's interesting conversations and beautifully written. and often really humorous and sometimes audacious and brave writing. >> which the show's executive producer said the capitol riot, insurrection, brought influence to so more than any other single event. how so? >> well -- well, because it was so traumatic for the country. so it would be traumatic for people working in a law firm. certainly traumatic for my character who is married to a republican because that was an indefensible act. how do you -- how do you justify that? how do you have a conversation with your husband about okay, there's trump, but then there's january 6th. and so robert -- it's funny because when they started the writer's room january -- they started it before that event had happened. >> right. >> but when they started writing the show, trump hadn't been elected. so the writers have always had
8:38 am
to jump -- >> to catch up -- >> to catch up with what's going on. they do is so brilliantly. but we never run out of raw material because what's going on in the world and in the country is so compelling and ever changing that like you in the newsroom, you're always just trying to -- >> when last we talked to you, i think you were up in connecticut with your grandkids during the pandemic. how did it feel to go back to work finally? >> we were all tentative. the show that i started with going back to work was "the gilded age," which is the julian fellows -- >> of "downton abbey" fame. >> yeah. like an american version. but it precedes, it's set in 1882, and it's american. it's about the gilded age in america. but we all had to go to work tentatively, and it just meant daily testing and putting a mask on. you know, we'd have the wigs and the corsets and would have to wear the mask until they'd say action, then you take the mask
8:39 am
off. you act and put it -- so this is what we've been dealing with as actors. but we're lucky because in film, there are precautions you can takement you take. it shut down the performing arts completely. but we fix actors have been able to -- film actors have been able to do it. the good news is for our show, from "gilded age" and "good fight" we've had the availability of all the great actors because they couldn't be on the stage. so we just have great actors in both shows. >> if i could ask really quickly, what is the biggest lesson you've learned through all of this? through the pandemic, you know, you're filming two shows at the same time. >> well, okay. big question. resiliency. grace. humor. and you know, just putting one foot in front of the other. and during this time, too, working as i do with black actors and on the set and -- you
8:40 am
know, a sensitivity. a new level of sensitivity. listening, learning, it's been a really interesting time. great time to be on a show like "the good fight." >> yeah. >> i look forward to watching more of the episodes. >> please do. it's going to be great this season. >> i'm going to go ahead and endorse the new york magazine writer's description of you as "hollywood's best chris." long running debate. steep competition. we have to go, but i wanted to say on the record that i think you are the best chris -- >> i'll take it. i'll take it. >> christine baranski, thank you very much. season five premieres tomorrow on paramount plus.

her life choices until 2019. now he only shares control of her finances with an estate management firm. we reached out to his representatives, he has not commented at this time. support for britney spears surged earlier this year after "the new york times" released its documentary about her. the film "framing britney spears" highlighted the harsh way the tabloids treated her. "cbs sunday morning's" lee cowan looks at how the paparazzi have affected her life and the lives of other celebrities. >> reporter: we don't have royalty in the u.s., we have celebrities instead. >> taylor -- ♪ >> reporter: they like royalties are often celebrated for what they are, less than who they are. ♪ from megawatt pop stars to the legends of sport -- >> hi, i'm rachel green -- >> i remember you.

"the new york times" was heralded for its documentary on her struggles with the media. and while she's back in the news this week, she's by far not the only victim. the list of others is unmercifully long. >> lindsay -- >> lindsay lohan, kanye west, amanda bynes, and amy winehouse were all suffering, but handled it nonetheless. ♪ >> reporter: we heard their pain sometimes in their work, but the coverage of them did little more than exploit a series of unfolding train wrecks. instead of sparking real

>> is she moving? >> reporter: celebrity pregnancies are always big news, but kylie jenner beat the tabloids to the punch. >> i'm 34 weeks today. only got a month left. >> reporter: by documenting her pregnancy on youtube. >> aww. >> reporter: in her own good time. posting on instagram after her daughter was born. pregnancy was one i chose not to do in front of the world. >> hey there, it's ryan reynolds from the same background in my home. >> reporter: social media, though, does go both ways. trolls can be as damaging as the most invasive paparazzi ever were. just ask lizzo who quit twitter for a time because she says it was just too much. critics now charge celebits -- celebrities with giving a curated picture of their lives to be seen, and that may be
