higher than the national average, $3.13 a gallon. all of this a 42 jump from where we were just this time last year. and we should highlight that if you see while out on the roads fuel stations that are out of gas, please do not freak out. there is no fuel shortage. it's just that many fuel drivers that were laid off during the pandemic have not returned to work. so in some places around the country gas stations are having a hard time getting fuel to the pump. but don't worry, it is there. and it's another sign of of traveler optimism looking at how many people are fly, 3.5 million expected to take to the skies over this pandemic weekend. and if you are not near the television, can you guess the top 4th of july destination this weekend? on the screen now. according to triple a. innovation. mile high, denver and the orlando. >> and the cardinal rules the

drought. that is sparking plenty of fires in arizona, northern california, oregon and about 80 fires in british columbia. which brings us to the 4th of july forecast. a little rainy and cool in the northeast. but in the west it's who will. gayle, we dwiz do not light fireworks so dry and hot. we always see a spike in fires on the 4th of july. >> i dressed for the fourth of july and will not light fireworks. thank you, jeff. the historic heat in the west is blamed for what maybe record breaking hospitalizations in washington state. hospitals report nearly 1,800 emergency room visit for heat-related ivldss in the past we can. at least 100 died in the west including a farm worker in oregon. now that punishing heat is bad news for all farm workers in the region. lilia luciano looks at efforts to protect them. >> reporter: for nearly a week farm workers at this southern washington state cherry farm faced temperatures as high as

113 degrees. >> this is a crisis, an emergency. >> reporter: we followed volunteers with the united farm workers union as they handed out cold drinks and explained the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. we were told that farm workers typically paid by amount picked are hesitant to take breaks. >> what does it feel like in the heat? we start feeling gnashes. >> the heat wave is different, harder. >> reporter: many including the 11-year-old named juan start the shift as early at 3:00 a.m. to avoid the heat. and until what time are you working? >> i don't really know. >> reporter: now the united farm workers you know isn't pushing for safeguards like those in place in california. >> we are demanding the governor implement emergency rules for

the heat crisis for farm workers in washington state. they need cold water, rest breaks and shade in the fields. >> reporter: volunteers also honored farm workers who lost lives, including sebastian francisco perez, an oregon farm worker from guatemala who died last weekend. his death raises concerned about the heat in the weeks and months ahead. >> one thing that worries me the most is there are children out here working, and that a lot of the workers don't feel comfortable calling 911. >> that was lilia luciano reporting from washington state. well, prosecutors in new york city have revealed the criminal charges against the trump organization and its chief financial officer. the indictment accuses allen weisselberg and the former president's company of a fraud lasting years. jeff pegues is outside trump tower in new york city. jeff, how are they responding to the charges? >> reporter: well, the trump

organization says the charges are all about politics. allen weisselberg, says he is fighting the charges in court. but when you look at charges they really are a stunning list of accusations dating back more than 16 years. a grand jury here in manhattan brought the charges against weisselberg and the trump organization, accusing them of running a tax fraud scheme involving off the books payments and concealing almost $1.7 million from the government. prosecutors say weisselberg failed to report payments on benefits like luxury cars, bonuses, a company apartment, private school, tuition for family members. weisselberg was also charged with grand larceny which carries a 5 to 15-year presentence sentence. mr. trump slammed the charges as a witch hunt from radical left prosecutors. and the trump organization called it an inappropriate use of a local prosecutor's vast and unchecked power to target a political opponent. this indictment really is going

to put pressure on allen weisselberg to flip on his former boss, because if you look at the list of charges, if he is convicted he faces a potential of decades in prison. and there could be more charges in the case. because the grand jury hearing evidence is impanelled through november. tony. >> all right we'll be following it, jeff. thank you. moving on this morning, the boy scouts of america announced an historic deal overnight to settle accusations of widespread abuse by leaders. the agreement would create a payout pool of up to $850 million with a maximum of $10,000 each for people who say they were abused as children. the plan has been approved by attorneys representing some 60,000 people. that's only about two-thirds of the total claims against the boy scouts. mola lenghi follows the story. what does it mean for survivors. >> good morning, tony. if passed it could be an

opportunity for survivors to be compensated for abuse in the organization that some say went on decades. one survivor told us it's simply not enough to make up for the impact this has had on his life. >> i've had problems my whole life because of this. >> antingy mandich was around 10 years old when he says a scout leader abused him. >> masturbation and oral sex and touching and talking. >> he left his first group because of the abuse. but joined another troop in sun valley, california, shortly after. >> that started something that went on for two years. >> he says a different leader abused him there. he didn't tell anyone at the time but now says the pain traumatized him. >> i feel like it ruined my life. i underachieved -- chronically underachieved my life. >> he is one of 90,000 victim who filed claims against the organization when the organization filed bankruptcy in february. in the settlement deal released last night, the organization would set up an $850 million

fund and allow victims to try for more through insurance payouts. >> this is a bad deal for survivors. >> michael pfau represents mandich and more than 1,000 other people with claims. he says that survivors deserve more and that the plan lacks accountability on local organizations like councils and churches that run scout chapters. >> it doesn't hold the boy scouts accountable. doesn't hold the local councils accountable. the local councils are the eyes and ears of the boy scouts. >> in a statement the boy scouts of america said this is a global resolution that will equitably compensate survivors and ensure scouting's future. victim's groups involved says it's a significant accomplishment that achieves consensus. but for other alleged victims like mandich, the deal gives him second thoughts. >> i always wish i didn't even come forward, because it feels like a i'm not being listened to. >> well this settlement agreement will be voted on by

more than 82,000 accuser and moves to bankruptcy court for a dysto approve. the boy scouts of america says this deal could provide the framework for the group to emerge from bankruptcy. jericka, stories never easy to here. >> never thank you, mola. the national political vote over voting rights escalates after the supreme court upheld two regulations in the battleground state of arizona. in a 6-3 decision the court ruled the voting laws were not discriminatory and did not violate the voting rights act. jan crawford covers the supreme court. jan, good morning to you. what does this mean for future cases? >> good morning, jericka. the case was seen as an important test for the restrictions we see on voting. the conserve court is signaling it's not likely to overturn a lot of the new voting laws that are now being passed in states across the country. the two arizona voting provisions have been on the books for years. the first discards ballots cast

in the wrong precinct. the second bans so-called ballot harvests where third parties other than family collect piles of absentee ballots and turn them in. arizona attorney general argued the kwas in favor of voting laws. >> why did you defend this. >> we want to make sure everyone has the right to ability to exercise the fravrpz but also everyone has confidence in the process and respect the results. and that's what these laws are designed to do. >> six justices on the court agreed that neither provision violated the voting rights act because they were not enacted with the racially discriminatory purpose and states have an entirely legitimate interest in the prevention of fraud. but the court's three liberal justices said the decision undermines the voting rights act because laws like arizona's discriminate against minority voters. in a statementment biden said he was deeply disappointed. >> it is critical that we make a

dstinction between voter suppression and suspension. >> the decision comes as 48 state lirpgts have introduced 389 bills this year alone that could restrict voting access. cbs news election law contributor david becker. >> the need for some kind of basic standards of election practices and voting rights is very, very stark right now. and we're really -- congress is our last hope for a lot of this. >> now this decision came on the last day of the court's term. but next term the court is going to tackle some of the most divisive issues in society, including abortion. gayle. >> we'll be

see what both of them plan to do before the end of this month. you're watching cbs this morning.

suspension after testing positive for marijuana. the timing would prevent her from competing in the 100 meters in tokyo, but she could race in the 400 might have metro relay if her suspension ends in time. we reached out to the team for comment but haven't heard back. we don't know yet how long the suspension is. i want to see her run. >> yeah. >> come on, right? marijuana is not a performance enhancing drug, and they're not talking about a ping pong match here. it's sprinting, right? >> isn't it still considered illegal in places? i know it's legal in a lot of places. is it because it's considered illegal in some places? >> that's a moral penalty then. what we're saying is morally she shouldn't have done this. i think most people are concerned in an athletic competition -- use were a sprinter -- >> she's an outstanding athlete no doubt. i think there are rules, but the same way we're seeing more and more questions about the ncaa and how, you know, athletes can now use their likeness and make money from it, i think there's a debate to be had about whether this should still be on the list of substance that's -- if you

find it in your body are legal. it will be interesting to see what happens on the appeal. the person who took fourth was called and said, okay, now you're going to the olympics. this whole notion of is she going to possibly appeal and be in time, then what happens if the person who was told now you get to go and she's back on. >> it's funny in this day and age if you can show updrunk and race and qualify and everything's fine. if you have marijuana, a trace amount, that seems weird to me. like a moral judgment. >> we all think she should be allowed to run. does marijuana enhance your performance? >> no. as a runner? >> not running -- >> not -- >> the ncaa, reggie bush wants his heismantrariy back. >> he -- heisman trophy back. >> he should get it. >> i agree. ncaa announced that college athletes can make a profit off their name, image, and likeness. bush abandon the word as a -- won the award as the best player

in 2005 and was forced to return it five years later after the ncaa ruled he received improper benefits during his college career. bush reached out to the organization on multiple occasions over the past few months but received no help. he believes he won the heisman trophy solely due to hard work and dedication while playing football. the ncaa and the heisman foundation haven't returned our request for comment. >> that is why he won the heisman trophy. because of hard work and el dorado dead -- and dedication. especially now that athletes can make money off of their likenesses and images. interesting to see. >> it seems retroactively he should get his trophy back. >> whether hey had the trophy at his house or not he was the best player in college football. >> he's a fantastic player. >> can't take that away. another morning show is making a big announcement.

hand. and first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. the work resumed last night after more than 12-hour pause because of safety issues at the collapsed condo tower. >> search and rescue efforts are under way. there are some storms in the forecast, but that's something that first responders will be keeping an eye on. >> everyone hitting the roads, expect lots of company, the increased demand in fuel is really pushing prices up. >> the heat wave has been different, it's been a lot harder. >> historic heat in the west is blamed for what may be record-breaking hospitalizations, at least 100 people have died in the west. >> the trump organization says that these charges are all about politics. allen weisselberg says that he's going to fight the charges in court. but when you look at the charges, they really are a stunning list of accusations datesing back more than 16 years. to the left. foul pole. near the foul pole. a foul ball.

of dead and missing and he understand froms from his own experience the difficulty of not knowing what happened to their loved ones. >> it's bad enough to lose somebody, but the hard part, the really hard part, is to not know whether they're surviving or not. just not having any idea. when the accident took my wife and my family, the hardest part was, were my boys going to get out, were they going to make if. >> hard-earned wisdom there. >> the president supports a federal probe into what caused the collapse and pledged the federal government would cover 100% of the search and rescue costs for the first 30 days. as americans celebrate this fourth of july weekend, there are concerns that low vaccination rates in some parts of the country could lead to new outbreaks of covid-19. only 18 states have fully vaccinated more than half their population. and with more contagious delta variant on the rise, there are

fears that many people remain vulnerable. our lead national correspondent david begnaud visited arkansas to learn mored about disappointing vaccination rate there. >> it's the lunch rush hour at trio's restaurant in little rock. hello ladies. >> hi. >> we went to every single table and asked the same question. have you been vaccinated? >> absolutely. >> yes. >> everybody's an absolutely? >> absolutely. >> despite arkansas's reputation. >> look, that reputation isn't undeserved. only 34.3% of arkansas's population is fully vaccinated. >> have you vaccinated? >> i am. >> that's why trio's co-owner kathy peck, was shocked when she found out that every single person in the vaccinated, in the restaurant was vaccinated except for one person. >> i bet at least 80% of my customers were vaccinated. i was wrong. >> arkansas's governor asa hutchison says outside of little

rock is where it is a different story. >> certainly the rural areas of our state, we have more resistance, there's less vaccine acceptance. >> pulaski county, which includes little rock, has fully vaccinated about 40% of its residents. but in some of the state's rural counties, that number plummets to less than 25%. and covid hospitalizations are climbing. up nearly 54% in just the last two weeks. and that is due in large part to the so-called delta variant. which the governor says is spreading fast here. >> over 98% of the hospitalized patients have not been vaccinated, but as you can see those cases going up, and the risk increasing, then all of a sudden, the vaccinations increase. >> so you're saying as hospitalizations rise here, in arkansas, you're starting to see more people get vaccinated? >> that's true. >> driven by what? fear? >> well, i presume. i think it's driven by risk, that they see the risk increasing, and say we will go ahead and get vaccinated.

>> right now, the demand for vaccines is up. on wednesday, arkansas recorded more than 10,000 shots in a single day. and that is the most they've seen since may. for cbs this morning, i'm david begnaud in addition in the natural state, arkansas. >> i saw a story on the news the other day, guys, that the only people who are still dying from covid-19 are people who have not been vaccinated. i don't know what more we can say to get people, to encourage people to take it. i know it's a personal decision. i get that. but it's just so important in terms of saving your life and othe people around you. >> and showing those stories, it is so important, and those who have said, i was against it, i was against it, i think earlier this week, there was a woman, and i think that's the most powerful thing you can show, that everyone has their reasons and their views and the more you see, it the more likely you are saying, maybe i should. >> it changes your calculation. >> i'm scared of needles but scared of death more. brian kelly will join us with the best times to avoid

ththe new s-clclass. frfrom mercededes-benz. the parents of a british teenager killed in a collision with an american diplomat's wife are in the u.s. to give evidence in a lawsuit against her. we're going to talk to them in just a moment. but we want to remind you about harry dunn. his case has been in limbo since ann sacoolas' return to the u.s., she could face more than a dozen years in prison but last year the state department refused to return her to britain to face trial. the family wants the new administration to reverse that ruling. >> harry dunn's quest for

justice has been taking up by some of the world's most powerful leaders, at the g-7 summit last month, the u.k. prime minister boris johnson said he was working on it with president joe biden. >> he's actively engaged in the case, as you know, he has his own personal reasons for feeling very deeply about the issue. and he was extremely sympathetic but this is not something that either government can control very easily. >> on thursday, the 19-year-old's parents, tim dunn and charlotte charles, gave in-person depositions at a virginia court as part of the civil case they brought against ann sacoolas for damages. the american mother of three admits to driving on the wrong side of the road before the collision which killed harry outside of a british military base in august of 2019. sacoolas fled the u.k. after the crash, claiming diplomatic immunity as the wife of a u.s. intelligence official. triggering the dunn family's extraordinary legal battle that has already taken them to the

white house. president donald trump invited them for a meeting there in late 2019, where unbeknownst to them, ann sacoolas was waiting in an adjoining room. they declined mr. trump's offer to meet with sacoolas, saying they weren't emotionally ready. and later described the experience at the white house as traumatic. now, a new president occupies the oval office. one with a similar history of loss, and one who they hope will help them get the justice they so badly want. for "cbs this morning," london. now a representative for ann sacoolas told cbs news they have no update for us at this time. joining us on "cbs this morning" are tim dunn and charlotte charles. it's good to see you both again. i'm so sorry that two years laterer, we still don't have answers for you in this case but you should know we have never forgotten your son and never forgot than story. help us understand, charlotte, you start us off, please, what the last two years have been like for you?

>> it is never easy. and the days are no easier than what they were. and we've moved forward with the case, both civil and criminal, since we were last here. but the pain and the suffering is getting worse, if anything. the continued fight. it's exhausting. >> tim? >> yeah, certainly the same. it's worse every day. i'm struggling with my life at home, my wife tracy has to put up with me, i'm argumentative, i'm sad all the time, i struggle to get motivated. i'm really struggling. >> we understand that. and you know, the thing that struck me last time, charlotte, you were here, you said, listen, i understand that this was a terrible accident that ann sacoolas behind the wheel, i understand that, but what i don't understand is why she hasn't said anything to us, or

reached us to us. at the time you said if she would just apologize, i don't even want her to go to jail, you said. do you still feel that? >> we still stand by that. we do still stand by that. that we still have no direct contact. and we have known for a long, long time now that she is able to return to the u.k. of her own volition to face u.k. justice. >> what would you like? >> we would like her to engage with the u.k. justice system, just like we wanted right from the beginning. just to get to the starting block. what happens after that, we have no control over that. but we just ask her to get to the starting block. >> her lawyer has said that they offered to have her complete community service in the u.k. as part of a plea deal, i imagine. as well as make a contribution in harry's name, and charlotte, you said that's not enough. why do you draw the line there? ?

it's not like you can go to a courtroom and talk more about this, and look, if i do this, can we make sure? we don't work like that in the u.k. our prosecution service deals with the charges and the court of law deals with what is handed down. seeing as we have no control over that, we just need to get to the starting block. what happens after that is beyond concern to us. >> tim, what does justice look like to you? is there a certain punishment or amount of time that you think she should serve? and also is there a conversation that you are ready to have at all? >> i'm really, i'm the same, i'm in, not looking at prison time or anything like that, i just want her to own, her accountability, for what she has done to us, as a family, and to my son, and i need to ask her,

why she left, why did she think it was okay to leave my son there, and just leave the country? it still hurts after two years, not knowing these answers. and i feel like my son's life was just, i don't want to be horrible, but like it was, it meant nothing to her. and i'm sure that's not the case, she is a mother as we know. >> she's a mother herself. and i don't know her, we've never talked to her, i would imagine maybe she panicked, i don't know, i don't know, but you're saying despite that, she should say something to you. you know, we just saw that boris johnson had mentioned it to president biden. did you know he was going to do that? >> no. >> have you had any conversation with boris johnson? >> no. >> no. >> would you like to talk to boris johnson, too? >> absolutely, of course. >> he said he mentioned it to the biden administration. any comments from the biden administration to you all? >> not directly, no. i mean we were really pleased that it was raised, and how it was raised on the eve of june

7th, we didn't dare dream that harry would be raised in such global issues. we found out from the media, so we were heartened to hear it, and a little bit disappointed that we found out the way we did. but nonetheless, it's a positive step forward. >> yes. >> after everything we've been through here since we've been here the last few days is a positive step forward, where we feel so welcomed by the u.s. people again, we feel so grateful for all of the support that we're getting both from the media and from all of your citizens out there. >> well, i do think the u.s. cares about this case, which is why we're still talking to you today, i know you've been up for the last three days, and i know you've been traveling, you haven't slept, you had depositions. >> uh-huh. >> which is always traumatic. always traumatic, regardless of what the case is. and can you tell us anything about the depositions, what that process was like for you? >> just that we have no idea, a

few weeks ago, what a deposition even was, and thankfully to our u.s. lawyers, we have been as prepared as possible about what a deposition is. nonetheless, of course, it was very difficult. you're there talking about your son. it's really difficult, for your child, to get across to them, how loved he was. how much we loved him. how much he's missed. so for the best part, everything was focused on harry, and i never feel we can go too far wrong when we always keep harry at the center, you know, at the front of the focus, forward. >> yes. >> in harry's memory, i know it's important to think about safety on the road with motorcycles, you've got a motorcycle pin there, what do

you want people to know so things like this don't happen again. >> we're working closely with the secretary, and the u.k. government, and making sure fult ro full road ve reviews of the american bases to be looked at and there is a lot to come to light and we're working hard behind the scenes and juggling a lot of balls at the moment to make sure this doesn't happen again. >> when you talked about the meeting at the white house, you said it left you with emotional scars. >> yeah, number one, we didn't realize we were going to see president trump, we got told it was a senior official, we have to call, we had a call within hours of being on your show the first time. > maybe there are back channel conversations going on that will put you in the same room with ann sacoolas. >> maybe. >> maybe. >> maybe. but we need the media and the therapists around us, not only

for us, but for her, too. >> charlotte and tim, thank you so much for coming back. >> thank you. >> thank you for having us. >> appreciate it. >> thank you. you're watching "cbs t this morning." her, too. >> thank you both. >> thank you. >> reporter: you're watching "cbs this morning."

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning," it's time to bring you some of the stories that we like to call talk of the table, because the table we're talking, and guess what, jericka, you get to go first. >> how about that? clearly we all like music here, right? >> yes we, do. especially during a workout. >> yes. >> take a listen to this. ♪ >> kanye west might take your workout to the next level a new study suggests that listening to music while running might improve your performance when

you feel mentally fatigued. >> i get that. >> researchers in scotland asked participants to listen to motivational songs, for the study, music like power, by kanye west, every day by asap rocky and eye of the tiger, by survivor, those were some of the songs that they picked, the bottom line here is that if you're going to the gym after a long day of work, it seems impossible, the right play list could definitely get you through. so it was really interesting. i don't think it's that shocking or surprising but i think this idea of making people mentally take a test that's going to, you know, work their brain, and then say now go for a workout and see the differences, but that was some of the music that apparently was very motivating for some. >> do they have don't stop believing? >> they didn't. but you know what, it could be among them. they didn't list all of them. but no one knows by queen. addicted to you by avicci, run this town by jay-z. >> i like that. >> i thought the songs and working out, diminishing returns, when you first turn the

song on you're running and all right i got a burst of energy but then getting tired again and skipping ahead and searching. >> my play list keeps you going. >> i bet it's good. >> your turn, tony. >> sure. don't feed the ducks. that's the moral of the story out of baton rouge, louisiana, that has been taken over by ducks. up to 60 of them are roaming the streets, and they are especially fond of jennifer richardson and her neighbor debbie osterberger, when these two ladies go for walk, the ducks wait tore them and then follow them around. now, they love the ducks, they fed the ducks, but now the ducks have multiplied, and jennifer says she wants the ducks gone. but safely. listen. >> we don't want to get rid of them, we just want them to be relocated where they can live and you know not cause, you know, havoc and other people can enjoy them. >> my favorite part of the story is that line there, so other people can enjoy them.

>> tired of the ducks a little bit. >> my talk of the table is the viral moment from one couple's very special day, this couple tied the knot last week, he's a trainer, she's a fitness coach, they're based in louisiana but the best part of their very special day, i think it has to go to the groom's parents, who literally stole the show, at the wedding reception. >> okay. >> would you look at this. >> the groom shared the video on instagram saying love them to death, mom and pops, i love this. it's been viewed more than 36,000 times, the ceremony was delayed a year because of the pandemic but i just love mom and dad. and i'm sure at some point there was an electric slide, i love an electric slide dance, i will trample little children, i have to get on the dance floor to do that. >> i wish vlad was here, because that's so him. >> it was a joyous occasion and congratulations to the wife, la joya gardner, i love that, that was a good time. >> bravo.

before you know it, you'll be dancing at your own children's wedding. >> on that note -- >> like a toast. >> yeah, i know. coming up -- >> giving a toast at a wedding? >> thinking about oh, gosh, i guess that would be next. >> i just want to get through like middle school. >> coming up, we'll talk about ryan kelly about navigating airpor

what if f you could d push a bun anand less cararbon would de put t into the a air. if there w were a butttton tht would helplp you use l less ene, breaththe cleaner r air, and eveven take onon climatate change..... would yoyou press itit?

a pretty place i won't be ♪ a pretty place. the temperatures, a reminder, that for many of us, summer vacation season is here, more than 47 million americans plan to travel in cars and planes over this holiday weekend. the vast majority will hit the road, despite gas prices jumping nearly a dollar a gallon from last year. the ceo and founder of the points guide, brian kelly i don't know -- joins us now to help plan our summer trips. good morning to you. most people will be driving, if you're traveling by road right now, when should you leave? >> right now. >> yesterday. >> whether by plane or by road, as early as possible, because as the day goes on it, gets more and more crowded and the normal rush hour times, they no longer

exist. you can be on the road at noon and it's jam packed so the earliest is the best. >> today before noon. worst is 4:00 to 5:00. and if you don't yet have a place to go, and you want to rent something, is there really anything out there? >> there is. people are canceling their plans left and right. so if you are vigilant, you can absolutely still get deals, you know, so even if you searched a month ago and you couldn't find something good, it never hurts to check. but on the flip side, even if you have a place, i still recommend checking because what's happening with the hot housing market is rental homeowners are selling their places. i know multiple friends who have had their vacation tossed up in the air because the owner is like sorry, i couldn't resist this offer, all cash offer on my rental home. >> what's your best advice while traveling with covid? you know, some states say you have to have covid testing before you come, if you're leaving the country or coming back to the country. checking into hotels. i was at the airport, brian, for the first time, in over a year and a half, and it made me so nervous. there were so many people.

i got lost going to baggage claim. i felt like, what happened to you, gayle, you used to know how to travel. i was very unnerved by the experience. >> people are rusty. >> rusty, okay. >> people are also ornery. >> there are more attacks, a southwest flight attend ant. >> i know. >> it is not all that bad. but traveling today, check your reservations, even if it is next week, because airlines are at capacity. there's a huge labor shortage, that's the number one theme of travel, you could stay at a fancy hotel and in the even get housekeeping, so even though traveling, it is not the same as pre-pandemic. check your reservation to make sure they haven't changed the time or canceled it outright. also check your passport, i'm taking my mom on a mother/son trip to germany and she just told me oh, sorry, my passport expires in a month. >> it's tricky right now. however, if you contact your local congress person, they can expedite it. which is a little hack.

>> yes. >> so hopefully, fingers crossed, that happens. but back to the point -- >> is it safe to travel, i'm really serious about covid precautions, you should be taking as you're traveling. >> look, if you're vaccinated, in the u.s., would he have good vaccines, and -- we have good vaccines so yes, most people are traveling domestically, hawaii is the hardest place to travel to and the governor announced last night starting july 7th, if you're vaccinated, no need for all of the crazy testing regimen. europe is open and i have two europe trips coming up but last night, part gal announced a new curfew because of the delta variant so i think what you need to remember is while we made great progress in the u.s., most of world is not vaccinated and this delta variant is a concern so my number one tip, use your frequent flier miles because you can cancel your award tickets free of charge. >> what about when you get to the location and you have to rent a car, what can you tell us about that? >> there is a car rental apocalypse. >> people are rental you hauls because they show up and there's no cars left. >> and they're only 1999.

>> if you are vaccinated, that's the best protection. >> if you want to travel, get vaccinated. bottom line. >> as for rental cars, double check your reservation, i recommend book directly with the car rental agency, don't get cute and try to get a good deal through some random web site because when it comes time to cancel reservations, they're going to honor the ones booked directly. and join the loyalty programs, so your information is loaded in advance, you don't have to wait in a four-hour line when you arrive at your destination. >> so there are still deals to be had, according to you? >> the best deals this summer are to europe. you have to take a little bit of a risk level but i will tell you what, the louvre, the mona lisa has 30 people in front of it, no one around, and a lifetime opportunity to go to the treve fountain with no one around. >> time to go. get in the car. you're late. >> you can wait until after the show. >> thank you. on today's "cbs this

morning" podcast, hong kong political activist reflects on china's crackdown in the territory. and the 100th anniversary of the chinese communist party. we'll have that story next. and we'll have a look back at all that matters this week. we'll be right back.

we're sharing the story of a florida principal who had a special surprise waiting for each student at graduation. jeff reaves wanted to personally congratulate members of the class of 2021 for their success after the pandemic disrupted their final year and a half of high school. so this is what he did. he handwrote 459 notes. one for each graduate. our nancy chen spoke to him about the heartfelt gesture. >> reporter: a diploma wasn't the only special piece of paper the matanzas high school class of 2021 received when they

graduated. on the seat of every single graduate was a handwritten note. >> mike, way to go. you did it. i know you've worked very hard to make it, and now you're on your way. woohoo, i said don't stop believing, best wishes, mr. reaves. >> reporter: it took eight weeks, but principal jeff reaves says he drew on his experiences with students and even used yearbooks and records to personalize 459 notes. does your hand hurt at this point? >> no, no, no. it was a joy to do. >> reporter: one of the recipients was courtney wood who started the school's -- starred in the school's production of "newsies" this spring. >> all of the notes had the students' names individually written on the outside. courtney, way to go. i'm so proud of you. your work on stage and behind it have been impressive. congratulations. stay positive and focused on your goals. mr. reaves. >> reporter: that's really special. >> this whole year in and of itself has felt like ten years. and it felt like a lot of things got canceled, and there's been a

lot of letdowns. so being able to be like recognized for like individual things that we've all done, that meant a lot. >> i think your class is certainly earned more than the class of 2020 and more than most have in quite some time. all of you stared adversity in the eye and said "not today." >> reporter: what have they been through in the past year and a half? >> we've lost friends or loved ones with covid. having to learn in a whole different style. having to teach in a whole different style. and i think it really brought us together in a stronger sense. >> reporter: reaves, named this year's principal of the year for the district, says a good educator has compassion and invests in students. >> everyone text messages, everyone emails. there's such power in a handwritten note. >> i wanted to express value of what i felt about them and their energy and effort. i just drew on experiences i've had with the students, whether it was their performance of the arts, their academics, their

community service hours. just wanted to try and encapsulate memories that i've had of them. >> reporter: noting each and every accomplishment one letter at a time. nancy chen, "cbs this morning." >> how much do we love mr. reaves? we are not surprised that he got principal of the year. >> absolutely. >> that you would take the time and write -- i'll bet the kids will save those notes. >> for sure. >> means so much. very, very nice. >> it gives us the opportunity to ponder what our principals would have written in our notes in high school. jericka, want to take a crack at that one? >> i don't know. i was going to say i got biggest mooch. i was eating everybody else's food. and most athletic. >> most athletic. >> maybe something about that. i don't know. what would my principal say? >> mine would have been, hey, you tried. >> mine would have said, "gayle, good luck." i miss being voted most friendliest. i lost by three votes, and even i didn't vote for me. i only know because i was on the

yearbook. see you monday. we'll all be here. before we go, a look back at all this week. officials have promised to convene a grand jury to investigate the devastating building collapse. >> they are trying to reach any possible survivors. most of the concrete deterioration needs to be repaired in a timely manner. >> why wasn't it? bill cosby a free man after his release from state prison. >> he briefly spoke to me and said that he felt vindicated. did the judge vindicate bill cosby? >> no, not in any way. this is not about exoneration or vindication. dangerous and unprecedented heat wave which is baking the pacific northwest. >> 116 degrees. don't worry, there's no global warming. climate change is making the impossible not only possible but probable now. >> i feel like my dress is like your weather map. >> it's true. it's a brand-new day! >> vlad duthiers is watching for

only one thing -- maybe a free cabana. >> working on that tan. we have video of your vacation -- >> you are not lounging. >> day one of all-girl hike. a couple times my heart was beating so fasts i thought my heart would jump out of my chest and slap me, what the hell are you doing? i only lost two pounds. i want to see somebody waving. >> zoom in there. is there someone in the window? >> somebody waving in the cockpit? >> yes. >> alien on board sign. tape it to the window. how do you explain me? ♪ >> very bright -- very bright tie. i don't know how i feel about it. ♪ >> was it playing somewhere? was it in my head? ♪ ring of fire ring of fire ♪ >> there it is. ♪ >> grammy-winning rapper ludacris, saw a funny sign that said this -- driving fast and furious? that's ludicrous.
