7:03 am
>> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive making it easy to bundle insurance. it was just nice to see fireworks, don't you think? >> it was. >> last year we didn't see anything hardly ever. >> nice to see people gathering? >> yes, you know what else is nice to see the three of us sitting at this table. >> girl power. >> i haven't seen that ever since i've been here at cbs and jamie walked in. did you see her t-shirt. it said girls do it better. i want one of those, jamie. >> okay, i'll get you one. >> we welcome you to "cbs this morning." unfortunately, we begin with sad news going back to surfside, florida, where what was left of the champlain towers south condo building has been demolished. last night the crew set off a string of explosives bringing down the high-rise in a cloud of dust. one big reason to make it safer for rescuers still combing through the rubble, especially did you hear a tropical storm is barreling toward the area.
7:04 am
manuel bojorquez is there in surfside. manuel, 24 people are confirmed dead. that means 121 still missing. good morning to you. what are the rescue efforts looking like right now? >> reporter: well, gayle, as you mentioned the demolition was set to clear the way for crews to reveal that search. the part of the building that remained standing was right over here where now a crane being used in the search marks the spot. people here in surfside are once again waking up to a vastly last night nearby residents were urged to close their windows and their vents to avoid the dust from the collapse as officials acknowledged it would once again mark a painful chapter for survivors and families of the victims. at 10:30 p.m. a loud boom rattled through the neighborhood and in mere seconds the remains of the surfside high-rise crashed to the ground. crews prepared for the demolition in just two days, officials had stressed concerns the structure was at risk of
7:05 am
falling and could be further damaged by tropical storm elsa. they say teams will now be able to search for victims in parts of the rubble that were previously off-limits. >> we will have our first responders back on the pile to immediately resume their work. >> reporter: in an emergency hearing less than an hour before the demolition, a judge denied a homeowner's request to re-enter the building to search for her cat. officials say they used drones and thermal imaging to find life with little success but acknowledge tearing down the high-rise represents another loss for residents. >> we have families that have their life's possessions in those units. we had families that had their life possessions in the units that were destroyed. so this is really just a continuation of the tragedy. >> reporter: destroying the building will also affect the investigation into what caused the initial collapse as alan kilzheimer hired by surfside.
7:06 am
>> it will complicate it some because we will have to do it from new debris rather than from what is standing in the air. >> reporter: he says the remnants will be removed to be examined and tested clearing the way for more work at the site. >> once the area is clear, we're going to be wanting to take samples of the soil below and we want to dig pits down to look at the foundation. >> reporter: one survivor we've spoken with who lived in the section that was just demolished said they were urged not to watch the demolition, not only because they would see the rest of their possessions destroyed, but because it could trigger the trauma from the night of the disaster. jericka. >> manuel, truly unbelievable. i know a lot still holding on to hope there. as we've reported one of the major reasons for that demolition is the possible danger posed by tropical storm elsa. more than 11 million people are under tropical storm alerts. elsa started lashing cuba with heavy rain yesterday and forced about 180,000 to leave their
7:07 am
homes and will feel the storm's impact later today and many stocking up on sandbag, water and batteries. utility companies have cruise on standby ready to restore power and president biden declared a state of emergency promising federal help to those in the storm's path should it be required. cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli is tracking it for us. >> good morning, everybody. so the outer bands, the very outer bands beginning to impact the florida keys. the storm itself located on the south end of cuba and because it's located near cuba it's been interacting with land and still fairly disorganized. good news. it's not a hurricane, a tropical storm with winds of 65 miles an hour. i do want to point out. look how fast it's moving, was moving at 35. now in half at 14 miles an hour. that means that as the system moves across cuba and into florida it's going to produce and drop heavier rain, the
7:08 am
possibility of more flooding. as you can see tropical storm warnings out from ft. myers to naples to key west. tropical storm conditions during the day tomorrow. that's the forecast track and look at the heavy rain tomorrow afternoon especially naples, ft. myers, eventually into tampa and this track now is shifted further west which means it will be over the open gulf for a longer period of time and a slight chance it could strengthen a little bit. so you should prepare for a category higher than a tropical storm meaning prepare for a cat 1 hurricane just in case it were to become one. on wednesday it's across north florida. on thursday and friday along the eastern seaboard so rainy and windy on those days. the biggest impacts from this system because we're not expecting an intense system is rainfall. about four to eight inches on top of two to four feet of storm surge on the west coast and possibility of some isolated tornadoes and, jamie, we are off to a very early start in hurricane season. let's hope it does not continue. >> yeah, fingers crossed. jeff, thank you.
7:09 am
now to japan where rescuers are searching for survivors this morning after a dangerous mudslide. terrifying footage shows homes being swept away in the city of atami. it's about 60 miles southwest of tokyo. at least two people are dead and about 20 others missing. the mudslide was triggered by unusually heavy downpours. more rain fell in the area in the first three days of july than the city averages the entire month. it's expected to keep raining today making rescue efforts more difficult. >> wow. here in the u.s. tens of millions of americans celebrated the fourth of july in full force with concerns about the pandemic easing nationwide. president biden hosted a fireworks party for first responders and the military with a reminder to keep up the fight against covid. nancy cordes is at the white house. nancy, what did the president say last night? good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jericka. he said the country gained the upper hand against the virus, that americans can live their
7:10 am
lives again and kids can go back to school but he also warned about the emergence of new variants and said the most patriotic thing americans can do is get vaccinated. >> america is coming back together. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: at his largest gathering since taking office president biden argued the country is closer than ever to declaring independence from covid-19. >> think about how far we've come. >> reporter: but with the celebration, a note of caution. >> that's not to say the battle against covid-19 is over. >> happy fourth of july. >> reporter: the white house hosted about 1,000 people last night on the south lawn. all of them were tested for covid beforehand but the delta variant is a growing problem. >> we're certainly seeing the delta variant rise in our state, which is concerning. >> reporter: even as the pace of vaccination slows. >> our goal by july 4th is to
7:11 am
have 70% of adult americans at least one shot. >> reporter: the president set that goal in may. but fell just short of it yesterday. as of this weekend about 67% of american adults have had at least one shot. on saturday, the president visited traverse city, michigan, and vice president harris stopped in las vegas, nevada, to encourage more americans to get vaccinated. the white house has launched surge teams to parts of the country with higher rates of vaccine hesitancy. >> we have a lot more work to do. >> reporter: the white house did face questions about the optics of holding such a large gathering for the fourth of july at a time when officials here say they're still on a wartime footing with this virus, really shows the tension, gayle, between the desire to celebrate the progress the country has made while being realistic about the challenges that lie ahead. >> i know. it is a balance that we need to figure out. thank you very much, nancy. let's bring in dr. ashish
7:12 am
jha, the dean of brown university of school of public health. dr. jha, it's good to see you on this holiday monday. thank you so much. we certainly appreciate it. let's talk about this. the biden administration set the goal of 70% for one dose for all americans. they made it to 67%. now people look at that and say they didn't make the goal but there's something to celebrate here, is there not? >> yeah, thanks for having me back. absolutely. i always thought that was the most ambitious goals of the goals the president has set on vaccinations and two-thirds of adlt americans have gotten a shot. that's fabulous and made an enormous difference and i think we should be celebrating. >> but what can we do to convince the others? i know you must feel like a broken record. good to point out the people getting sick from covid are the people who are not vaccinated. isn't that true? >> it is absolutely true. we still have hundreds of americans guying every week of this disease. 99 plus percent of them were people unvaccinated.
7:13 am
that's where the virus is circulating among unvaccinated americans and if you don't want to be one of those people it's straightforward. go get vaccinated as i and all my family have. >> all of us here too at this table. what do you say about the fourth of july celebrations. listen, people were partying, they were gathering. they were really celebrating as nancy just said in full force. we've still got that delta variant that's circulating around. how worried should people be about this? >> yeah, i think if you're having gatherings were vaccinated people i don't think you need to be worried. for that i had a july 4th barbecue with 20, 25 friend, it was outside and it was great. i didn't feel it was risky. even the white house said, if all the adults were vaccinated it's a pretty safe thing. when you have large groups of unvaccinated people getting together. >> you know there are people in the group unvaccinated. that's what freaks me out a little bit. you know they're unvaccinated. >> you have kids who are under 12 who, of course, are unvaccinated but if people
7:14 am
around them are all vaccinated i think it's pretty safe. but if you have a large gathering with adults who are unvaccinated, i would worry about those gatherings. >> how effective are the vaccines against the delta variant? >> you know, i'll tell you, gayle, this has continued to be a pleasant surprise. these vaccines are incredibly effective against all variants out there including the delta variant. about 90%. >> booster shots? do you know anything about -- that's what we want to know. will we have to take a booster shot in the fall? >> not in the fall. i just don't see it. look, we don't know. i thought we'll need boosters any time soon. maybe next year. kind of the way we do the annual flu shot annually but i'm not convinced of that. we'll have to see what the data says. >> dr. ashish jha, thank you so much for your time. good to see you. >> good morning, thank you. this morning the fbi is investigating what may be become one of the world's largest ransomware attacks. a russia-based cybercriminal group called r evil demanded a
7:15 am
70 million ran some last night. the same hackers who hit a giant meatpacking company over memorial day. the new attack affects hundreds of businesses including financial service firms and a european grocery chain. senior investigative correspondent catherine herridge reports. >> reporter: hackers hit i.t. company kaseya friday and infected some customers that rely on the network management system including swedish grocery chain coop which closed most of its 700 stores sunday because their cash register shut down. >> lots of organizations figure out they can get paid millions. if you compromise kaseya you can then take over the kaseya infrastructure to help broadcast ransomware. so all of those unwitting victims. >> reporter: after a recent ransomware breach at colonial pipeline and jbs, a major meat processor, homeland security warned in this recent intelligence report obtained by
7:16 am
cbs news that ransomware attacks were likely to increase in the near and long term. >> these are largely russian affiliated entities, and are able to operate with relative impunity because there's not really any enforcement from the russian state. >> reporter: in michigan saturday, president biden said intelligence officials are investigating. >> i directed the intelligence community to give me a deep dive on what's happened. >> reporter: last month he warned the russian president to rein in cybercriminals or face a strong u.s. response. >> if it is either with the knowledge of and/or consequence of russia then i told putin we will respond. >> reporter: in a statement kaseya said customer teams continue to work around the clock to resolve the issue and restore our customers to service. cybersecurity experts tell cbs news that launching the attack on a holiday weekend allowed cybercriminals to burrow into networks and they do expect more
7:17 am
victims to come forward once businesses fully re-open on tuesday. gayle. >> all right, catherine, thank you very much. the vatican says pope francis is doing well after intestinal surgery yesterday. it was a planned procedure we should say for francis who is 84 years old. chris, it's good to hear he's recovering. 84 is always dicey when you go into surgery. this is good news. >> reporter: that's right. the vatican says pope francis is now breathing on his own after having part of his colon removed due to diverticulitis. that's a common inflammation among the elderly staying right behind me on the top floor of the gemelli hospital in the same suite of rooms where john paul ii stayed several times during his pontificate. francis' operation came hours after he delivered his regular sunday angelus from his window overlooking st. peter's square where he made no mention of the procedure. rather, he announced he'd be
7:18 am
traveling to hungary and slovakia in september and he's had a busy week. he met with the u.s. secretary of state, antony blinken on monday, the iraqi prime minister friday and even held an all day prayer service for lebanon on thursday. now, this is the very first time the 84-year-old pontiff has been hospitalized since becoming pope back in 2013. the vatican says it should take about seven days for him to recover. gayle. >> chris livesay, thank you. ahead, what led to this scene in the gulf of mexico. look at this. it's a churning ball of fire. i know. this is a real picture, guys. churning ball of fire right there in the water. how did they do
7:19 am
7:20 am
ahead, a big move for jeff bezos. it's his last day as amazon's ceo. we'll talk with the author of two books on bezos and amazon about the founder's historic run

welcome back to "cbs this morning." today amazon ceo, jeff bezos, officially steps aside as head of the company that he founded exactly 27 years ago. here's a look back at his "60 minutes" interview with the late bob simon in 1999. >> the way i made the decision to leave wall street and do this was -- will sound geeky, but it was a regret minimization framework. this is how i made the decision -- >> the standard, if i can translate that into english i can deal with, does that mean i want to live my life so that in the few decades from now i'm not going to regret it?
7:31 am
>> that's exactly right. i want to have lived my life in such a way that when i'm 80 i've minimized the number of regrets that i have. i think a lot of people do that. i think even if they don't call it something as dorky as regret minimization framework, they behave that way anyway. they think that way. and -- >> for you it was not carpe diem, wine, women, and song? >> no. i go in for regret minimization framework. >> jeff bezos looks a little different, huh? his laugh is still the same. he will remain as executive chairman. he's handing over the ceo reins to andy jassy, the founder of amazon's successful cloud computing division. amazon is now one of the world's largest and most valuable companies valued at $1.7 trillion with a "t." bezos is the world's wealthiest person more than $200 billion with a "b" according to "forbes" magazine. >> thank you for pointing that out. amid the success the company has
7:32 am
been accused of poor working conditions at warehouses around the company. and they're being looked at for anti-competitive business practices. amazon said it invested more than $1 billion in new worker safety programs in 2020. said in part, "while any incident is one too many we are we're joined now to talk about "amazon unloesched" and we have more on that from bloomberg news. i want to ask you about jeff bezos and his run as ceo. i want to start with something you recently said. you said the hard work now that jeff bezos is stepping down is really going to fall on his colleagues saying that it's about finding amazon's heart. can you explain that? >> sure. amazon employs 1.3 million people. you know, folks who pay attention to the news recognize
7:33 am
that the depiction of amazon's relationship with its employees hasn't always been that flattering, particularly workers in the warehouses. recently amazon added two principals to its sacrosanct leadership values. you can see them on the website. one was to strive to be the best employer and another was to bring broad accountability. it's saying it needs to treat employees with more empathy and consider social responsibility. what it does -- and it is remarkable because for 27 years bezos ran the company with one thing in mind -- customers and growth. and i think this is an indication that maybe that transactional relationship with employees is going to have to change. >> it will be interesting to watch that. definitely changed the quantity and quality of labor in this country for sure. can you explain why jeff bezos' run as ceo was so historic? >> right. i mean, this is really a moment to recognize the accomplishment. 27 years ago, he starts amazon in the garage of a seattle-area
7:34 am
home. you know, ironically, he has a pair of kind of book-loving anti-capitalists to help him. imagine their surprise when amazon starts expanding in every direction. and the company has changed how we shop, how we read, how we talk to computers with alexa and its competitors and imitators. and how companies and universities and governments access computing resourcs which is a little arcane, but this is amazon's cloud division. amazon web services. so bezos is one of those unique ceos who's been transformational not just in one category but in a number of industries. and amazon wasn't in the lexicon 25 years ago. and today it's probably the most famous company or at least one of them in the world. >> right. the incoming ceo, andy jassy, he joined amazon in 1997. you call him a bezos disciple. how is he being groomed for this position, especially as all of the eyes of the world are going to be on him? >> he was being groomed 20 years ago. he was the first so-called
7:35 am
shadow or technical adviser whose job was basically to be bezos' chief of staff, to follow him taking notes in meetings. then he went and ran amazon web services. today that's a $50 billion a year annual revenue business which is startling when you consider it. he's on the team, he sat in on all the meetings. i think, you know, he'll continue bezos' philosophy, his leadership. but he'll probably be more of an empathetic leader. one quick example -- at his big amazon services web conference which was virtual last year, he started by talking in his keynotes about black lives matter. and look, as socially aware as jeff bezos might be, that's really never something that he did as ceo of amazon. >> we'll see if it becomes humble and more friendly at amazon. thank you so much. >> i don't know. you never go wrong with empathy >> never. never go wrong with empathy. ahead, how women are breaking barriers protecti iing

8:03 am
storm elsa barrelling towards the state. manny is in surfside. what does this mean for the search and rescue efforts? search and rescue efforts? >> reporter: well, jericka, as you mentioned, the removal of that unstable structure is meant to make things safer for crews on the ground. but they could be hampered again this week by strong winds and heavy rain. it is striking to look back and no longer see the part of the building that up until last night stood right there. >> gosh. >> reporter: workers detonated small explosives within the building which crumbled to the ground in a cloud of dust late last night. officials say the demolition will allow rescue crews to search areas of the rubble that were previously off limits because of safety concerns. in the meantime we're learning some residents of champlain towers south, the tower that
8:04 am
collapsed almost two weeks ago complained of the building shaking in the past. the developer of that project allowed the condo association $400,000 in part to stop proposing a development proposal. cbs has confirmed the developers said they were not commenting on the matter unrelated to the tragedy of june 24, 2021. it is not clear if the construction or reported shaking played any role in the collapse. as for last night's demolition, officials say it went as planned and the all clear has been given for crews to resume the search. jamie? >> still tough for people to watch that. manny, thank you. as we mentioned, tropical storm elsa is adding urgency to that

>> what's up, everybody? we're back. >> post baseball, sabathia's been keeping very busy. he's a father of four, co-hosts a popular podcast "r 2 c 2," helps inner city kids through his foundation and is working to stop the stigma around mental health and alcohol dependence. >> the biggest thing i would say is to feel those feelings. whenever you feel them, wherever you are, just let it out. >> and let it out he does. first on "cbs this morning," c.c. sabathia joins us live in studio in the table. we're so glad when new people come in. we welcome you. >> welcome. >> can i just say you grabbed me from the first line of the book because it starts out with "i'm a weird alcoholic." which immediately made me think, what exactly does he mean? i want to read this book. what did you mean? >> yeah. it was one of those things where i could detox myself. so like i would pitch and then the next three days i would drink. so the day after -- right after i came out of the game, i would need a drink and would drink the next three days and take two days off, pitch, do it all over
8:16 am
again. so i kind of had a routine where i would normalize drinking for three days like a bender and would detox myself, be able to pitch, and do it all over again. >> you seem to think -- in the very normal behavior.k this was- >> yeah. for me it had become very normal. it was just part of my rye te-- routine. when i went into rehab i wondered how it do it without alcohol. it was a part of might have pitching, i felt like. >> in the book you don't sugarcoat anything. you -- i mean, there were jaw doct -dropping moments. you were so candid. even reading the piece about the jay-z party and your wedding night, i felt kind of choked up -- saying it out loud. yet you sat here and watch it because you seem to tell the story with no fear and no shame. >> yeah. it's no problem for me to tell the story i told you i had normalized the stuff. for me people read the book and it's jaw-dropping stuff, for me
8:17 am
it's life and normal. i didn't think people would think it was interesting or fascinating. it's just, you know, something that i had dealt with and knew that i was alcohol dependent from the first time i had a drink at 14 years old. >> 14 when you had your first drink? >> my first drink and had el dorado with-- and had normalize and went on in my -- with my life, alcohol dependent, and just trying to deal with it. >> my favorite page was 215 when you make the decisions to go to rehab. you said, "everybody's rock bottom is different," what was your rock bottom that made you say okay, enough. had done all sorts of stuff leading up to that. >> it was just me realized that, you know, i couldn't stop. that weekend in baltimore, you know, it was three days where i just couldn't stop. i wanted to stop drinking, and i couldn't. so you know, i didn't want to wait until -- >> this was right before the game. >> right before the game, right before the playoffs. didn't want to wait until i hurt somebody or had a dui or was court ordered to go to rehab.
8:18 am
i wanted to get in front of this and make sure i was making the right decision for my life. i'd always put baseball in front of everything. at this time i needed to put my kids and my family and my health in front of my career. >> i feel like you had to be really strong to do that, though. you're going into the playoffs, there's a lot of people in your life saying "can't you just wait a couple of weeks?" >> there were people saying that but the most important people were like, no, if you need to go get help, get help. brian cashman, joe girardi, my wife, amber, she was huge into that. chris young, dylan -- all these people that, you know, that mattered in my baseball life were like, no, you need to get help. it made it easy to make the decision. >> you've been sober now nearly six years. what would you tell others who see someone like who have the money, a beautiful family, yet you were still battling this addiction? >> i think that's why i wrote the book. i wanted everybody to

understand, and that's why i got so candid in my details is i want everybody to be able to relate to it. and you know, you can have all these things, the money and the stuff, but still struggle with mental health and be alcohol dependent. but you can get help. you know, the toughest thing about, you know, dealing with alcohol dependency is reaching out and saying that you need help and that you -- that you can't fight this alone. since i was able to do that, the last six years have been great. >> i want to say something about amber. honest to god -- i wish amber was here. >> right. >> we all do -- >> she was a truth teller in your life. she really -- i mean, she put one a lot, no question about that. what did her support mean to you? and i mean, do you think you could have survived what you survived without her? >> no -- >> i was so blown away by her, as well. >> absolutely not. there was no way that i could have navigated my career without her. obviously, you know, being married for 20 years and being in the game, you know, her career now being an agent.
8:20 am
but just every -- her support meant everything to this day still. you know, her support, me and my family, the kids, the support that i get from them, it just -- it lifts me up. it's everything. it's what keeps me sober. >> you talk about her a lot and how she had to clean up a lot of your messes. >> always. still to this day. >> still now? >> yeah. >> i want to talk about the struggle for black men in this country. you said, listen, being black in this country is a stigma for black men to seek therapy because we think of weakness as a vulnerability. >> uh-huh. >> that's one thing that you wanted to say, that you need to get help when you need to get help. >> yeah. it's one of those things in our community where we don't speak up or talk about alcohol dependency or even, you know, mental health. so you know, for me to struggle with this for a long time and not feel comfortable enough to get help -- like i said, i knew i had this problem when i was 14 years old. but i'm trying to fight it alone and do things where i probably should have reached out in my 20s. and i could have got it under control. i want people to be able to
8:21 am
watch my documentary, watch the story, read the book, and just know my story. to be able to get help. >> should we say something about baseball, guys? you were a really good baseball player. >> all of that. >> really good baseball player. >> are you hoping to inspire some of the people in the league? you talk about how it is a problem. there are a number of alcoholics in the league. >> yeah, i told gayle just this morning that it just -- those competitive environments just breed that type of, you know, just helps fuel that type of -- those type of dependencies. if you have alcohol dependency and you're in a heavy stress environment, you know, you're going to lean on those substances. so yeah. i mean, i want to tell my story and be super open so that if people need to reach out, if they're struggling, i can point them in the right direction or even help them myself. >> i'm sitting here looking at your left arm. your left arm becomes a character in the -- from the streets of vallejo to a round of yankees -- >> can we get a picture of your left arm? >> honestly. what does baseball mean to you, c.c., before we leave?
8:22 am
>> it's meant everything. like you said, my arm has taken me from vallejo, california, to this desk. you know, and places i never thought i'd be able to reach. you know, just been a blessing to be able to have it until the end. >> i know. that's the title of the book, "till the end." refers to his arm. his arm was there till the end. thank you so much for coming. i think your book will help many. i think like jamie said it's brave and courageous to tell the stories that but and the detail that you did. >> thank you. >> cheering you on always, always. >> thank you. >> the book "till the end" goes on sale tomorrow whenever you like to buy yours books.

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring some of the stories that we call "talk of the table" because we each get to pick a story that we like. we're here with all of you. jericka, you're up first. >> my "talk of the table" is something to me that was very courageous for this person to do. >> uh-oh. >> this is terrifying. >> it is very terrifying. definitely you need nerves of steel it requires that. look at what 36-year-old james marksbury did. >> oh, yes. >> he's a steeple jack. he recorded this video -- just really sit with that for a second. it's cool, but it's like what in the world? >> what is he doing? >> the video is showing him doing maintenance on the spire
8:31 am
of the famous chrysler building here in new york city. he said he wa inspecting stainless steel panels from the tip of the art deco building down to the 72nd floor. that is a view from the top that we don't normally get to see. >> guys, just the fact that he's holding a selfie stick. >> i know. >> while he wants to capture the video. >> incredibly dangerous but also cool at the same time. >> he's got guts. >> dangerous but cool. mine is about wedding news. anybody at the table -- i don't have wedding news. do you? >> no, sorry. >> i love love, throw. >> i love love, too. >> okay. we would like that -- we want to come to the wedding. sit on the bride's side. >> all right. she's like okay, keep going. this wedding news is gwen stefani and blake shelton, they tied the knot over the weekend. big yay. they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at shelton's ranch in oklahoma in a chapel that he reportedly built on the estate. now, the two have been together
8:32 am
for nearly six years, and i spoke with them last year -- a couple years ago with gwen and blake, for a grammy special that we were doing. we started talking about their relationship. >> i feel like i'm the one that's like getting it all by getting blake. you know what i'm saying? >> what the hell is wrong with you? >> it's the truth. everybody is jealous of me, too. >> oh, i'm sure. >> gwen, i'm a little jealous of you. >> my boyfriend's daughter's also jealous. big blake shelton fan. >> nice. >> i think they're both really terrific. but after that interview, it was so sweet, they were leaving and they didn't know we were behind them. you know how when a guy -- you're a couple and he puts his hand in your pocket? they had their hands in each other's pocket. she said, blakey, that was so nice, you said so many things about me. he goes, "but i love you, baby, i love you." >> awe. >> they didn't know we were behind them. that's what we did, awe. so great that they tied the got. congratulations.
8:33 am
>> congrats. okay, my "talk of the table" has me saying what the zuck. the internet was saying that, too. >> that's good, jamie. >> thank you, gayle. i worked on it all morning. let me tell you. there's new video of facebook's mark zuckerberg causing waves on social media. take a look. ♪ country roads take me home to the place i belong ♪ >> can someone catch jericka's face right now? >> was he playing that music, or did you put that music -- >> no, they put that -- he put this on instagram. put the john denver song on there. >> i think it's cool he's doing this. >> an electric surfboard. it is mark zuckerberg holding the american flag. he's doing really well, too. "take me home country roads" by john denver playing in the background. zuckerberg posted the clip on instagram with the caption, "happy july 4th. let me tell you, social media is having a field day with this one, with some people trolling
8:34 am
him. one user said it best with a simple "o-m-g-y." >> i think it's great. >> this isn't the first clip either that zuckerberg shared from vacation. in june he posted a slow-mo video of himself throwing a spear. you may also remember -- do you remember the sunscreen one? >> i do. he had it slathered on. he has another side. a playful side. i think it's great that he's showing people what he does. i like it. >> cool. >> all right. >> what the -- >> zuck. >> all right. you said it, not me. turning now, though -- >> oh, zuck, zuck, zuck. she said "what the zuck? makes per p perfect sense to me. >> john is getting nervous. >> john is our executive producer up there. >> all right. turning now to the build-up to the tokyo -- >> he's our senior producer. let me get the title. sorry, jericka. >> i'm done. i'm done.
8:35 am
turning now to the build up -- see what happens when you have three women at the table? it's all good. we're going to turn to the tokyo olympics and some controversy actually before the games begin later this month. last week, american sprinter sha'carri richardson was suspended for a month after testing positive for a chemical found in cannabis. she's acknowledged she smoked marijuana to cope with the death of her mother, and she says she accepts the punishment. she will not be able to compete in the 100-meter dash at the olympics. this comes after the international swimming federation barred the use of certain swim caps designed for use by athletes of color. that's led to allegations that some olympic rules are written in a way that can lead to discrimination. we're joined by jemele hill, contributor and writer for "the atlantic" and host of "jemele hill is unbothered" on spotify. good morning. always good to see you. i know that you recently tweeted about the olympics and said this is sending a, quote, message to black women. what message is that that you
8:36 am
think the olympics is sending? >> well, thank you ladies for having me. but when you look at the full scope of what we see happening at the olympics, simone biles is probably the face of this olympic games, at least from an american perspective. and then you have the controversy around gwen barry, fast forward to what happened with sha'carri richardson. now you have this swim cap ban that obviously affects athletes of color. obviously is an impediment to young black swimmers. and so there is something that is there, and you wonder about these old-school attitudes and how they have always in many ways disproportionately impacted athletes of color, but in particular black people because that's who we're talking about here. >> you know that the world anti-doping agency has listed marijuana as a banned substance. we know, too, that it's been legalized in nearly 20 states. do you think that it's time to have a conversation about what
8:37 am
gets banned when it comes to something like this, even, you kow, the president's press secretary was asked about sha'carri richardson, and they acknowledge she's a phenomenal athlete, she has an inspiring story. but obviously she will not be competing. and she's one of the world's -- the world's fastest woman. >> and jemele, it's not, as you know, a performance-enhancing drug either. >> no. unless you have a bag of doritos at the finish line. but what -- what i would say is that you have to look at why is this rule in place. it seems to be more of a perception issue than actually going with what is the science. i mean, the fact is in 40 countries there's some form of legalized marijuana. we know where the attitudes are moving in the states. and so much like the professional leagues in america, the nfl, the nba, major league baseball, there's a reason they've relaxed their standards. it has been used as pain management, talking about marijuana, it is used in terms of coping mentally, and there are many athletes that came
8:38 am
forward after what happened with sha'carri richardson to say that it helps them with their anxiety. and i think we would much rather this alternative than, i don't know, alcohol or any other sort of form -- any other dangerous substance. considering all this young lady has been through, we need to be happy the only thing she did was smoke weed. >> just because it's a rule doesn't mean it's right. maybe we need to look at the rules because many seem to be outdated and seem to be hurting black women in particular. >> yeah. i mean, i think when we assess generally what has been our drug policy in this country, we -- >> that swim cap -- i was thinking about the swim cap rule. i wasn't even aware of that. >> yeah. >> can we talk about the fallout that's going on over at espn right now? a year after the audio surfaced of rachel nichols talking about maria taylor. can you -- can you briefly tell us what that's about and your thoughts on it? you worked at espn. you know the shop very well. >> yeah. i worked there for 12 years.
8:39 am
i know both women -- >> they're both very good. we should say they're both very good at what they do. yeah. >> yes. they're both very good. both very admired professionally by a lot of people in this business. and essentially in a private conversation that was, you know, that a lot of people at espn heard because it was on a company server, you know, rachel said some very disparaging things about, you know, maria, and there was an assignment that was promised to her contractually and it was going to go maria and all hell has broken loose. gayle, you've been in tv a long time. we know what happens behind the scenes is a competitive business. sometimes it does not bring out the best in people. i think here what needs to be addressed is culturally how these things happen. like what is allowed to persist in certain workplaces.
8:40 am
and i think i'm disappointed in the fact that, you know, maria has this very high-profile job, it's great to see a black woman have a job like that. it just does not seem like the company's support was there. the fact that they would promise this assignment to rachel nichols -- this is maria's job. like, why would you do that to begin with? because the -- the person who hosts "nba countdown" usually does the finals. to me, that's some indication that the support for maria hasn't been there from the beginning, and that's a problem. >> i took the comments more disparaging against espn than i did to maria. >> well, but here's the other thing that this touches on -- i think black women especially, black people in the workplace, we get a little tired of somebody insinuating that the reason that we have a job is because we're black. >> yes, we do. yes. >> that gets tiresome. and i know that, you know, especially in this business, especially in sports where you don't see a lot of black women in the role that maria is in, she hears that 100 times a day. >> yes. >> to hear that from a
8:41 am
colleague, another woman, i can imagine that that would be harmful and hurtful for her. >> it is tiresome. you're right about that. >> have you spoken to either of the women? >> i have not. i mean, listen, it -- maria and i have a good relationship, and what i don't want to do is be one of these people that's hitting her up when there's a whole loss of mess out there. i'll wait until things quiet down and then i'll reach out to her. some of the other women at the company, some of the other black women i have reached out to them because i know when you see a story like that, you begin to question your colleagues, the environment, a lot of things -- >> and i just want to -- >> having gone through that, i understand. >> i want to read what espn said in a statement, it says, "a diverse group of executives thoroughly and fairly considered all the facts related to the incident, and then addressed the situation appropriately." again, you worked there, you know the ins and outs, and i think it's unfortunate and complicated situation. but a conversation that needs to be had. jemele hill, we thank you for joining us.
8:42 am
