state capital of new york. good morning to you. a lot of people want the governor to step down, including president biden, but he seems to be doubling down. what else do you know about the story? >> reporter: good morning. for starters, we know the governor, at least at this hour, has no plans to leave. now, this investigation was led by two independent attorneys that were appointed by the new york state attorney general. the report doesn't just talk about sexual harassment, but it also speaks of a culture within the governor's office that was filled with intimidation and fear, which the report says allowed the sexual harassment to occur and persist. >> this investigation has revealed conduct that corrodes the very fabric and character of our state government. >> reporter: the explosive 165-page report based on interviews with 179 people alleges new york governor andrew cuomo created a hostile work environment for women. >> the independent investigation found that governor cuomo

sexually harassed multiple women, many of whom were young women, by engaging in unwanted groping, kisses, hugging, and by making inappropriate comments. >> reporter: 11 women came forward and investigators say they found all of them credible, including a new york state trooper who worked on cuomo's security detail. the report says he sexually harassed her on a number of occasions, by running his hand across her stomach, from her belly button to her hip, running his finger down her back, and e comments. >> comments. >> our investigation revealed that these were not isolated incidents. they were part of a pattern. >> reporter: another woman, identified as executive assistant number one, said the governor groped her. according to the report, in november the governor hugged her and reached under her blouse and grabbed her breasts while at the executive mansion. >> i want you to know directly

from me that i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. >> reporter: in a prerecorded statement the governor defended himself against all of the allegations. >> the facts are much different than what has been portrayed. >> reporter: the governor showed photos hugging and kissing people of all genders, and says that's how he conveys warmth. >> i now understand that there are generational or cultural perspectives that, frankly, i hadn't fully appreciated. and i have learned from this. >> i think that the governor is in for a lot of litigation civilly. >> legal analyst ricky kleiman. >> she was clear that she did

her job and her job is over and it is up to any district attorney's office if they see any of these allegations to go forward if they choose to do so. >> the leader of the state assembly, a democrat, said the governor no longer should be in office at this time and said that they would move quickly as lawmakers to complete its impeachment inquiry. meanwhile, the groping allegation is being investigated by police and the district attorney here in albany has also opened a criminal investigation. anthony? >> thank you. charlotte bennett was the governor's former executive assistant and was among the first to come forward and accuse him of inappropriate conduct. in her exclusive interview with norah o'donnell, bennett talked about what justice would look like to her. >> the new york attorney general said multiple times today that she believes you and the other women mentioned in this report. what does that mean to you? >> it was extremely validating and i feel vindicated.

it's been a long day, but i'm proud to be a new yorker right now. >> the governor said today that he accepts responsibility and that he's making changes. do you believe him? accepting r means stepping down and not only is he not stepping down, but he's outright denying the things that he did. so i don't believe him and i don't want an apology. it's not necessary. it's fake. and his propaganda video was not only uncomfortable and inappropriate, but downright weird, and unnecessary. >> in addition to this investigation that found that the governor sexually harassed multiple women, they also found that the governor and his aides created a toxic work environment that enabled sexual harassment. is that consistent with what you experienced? >> it's extremely consistent, and i think the environment of fear, the environment of humiliation, the idea that any

moment you feel like you could either lose your job or get screamed at or -- you know, it was traumatic on its own. so when the most powerfuer thin, why would anyone take that seriously or think that i deserve any respect i this office? >> going to be an interesting situation for the governor now, who seems not ready to resign at this point. >> but it's such a steady drum beat, the calls to resign. that's why i'm curious to see how this is going to play out. but he insists he didn't do anything wrong, so he's not stepping down. you've got the president, two senators. i agree with charlotte bennet about the video. i'm wondering about the wisdom of that video. i don't think that was helpful. >> it appears they were prepared for it and, in a way, we know from reporting that the governor was interviewed for 11 hours by investigators. i'm anticipating after that he saw what was coming and prepared

the video. >> and norah will have more coverage tonight. millions of americans who faced eviction for not paying rent during the pandemic are going to get extra time. the cdc has issued a new eviction moratorium to replace the one that expired on saturday. weijia, the biden administration said they couldn't do this, so what changed? >> reporter: good morning, david. it was the amount of public pressure that exploded from members of president biden's own party. you know, just 24 hours before the cdc made this announcement, the white house insisted that there was no legal authority to extend the previous eviction ban. the president has acknowledged that this new measure may not be constitutional, and could face challenges in court, but he said it was worth the effort to help millions of americans. states and local governments will now have more time to distribute the more than $46 billion already set aside for renters. the new moratorium will last for

60 days until october 3rd. it will temporarily stop evictions in places with substantial and high levels of covid-19 transmission, protecting 90% of the country. the cdc cited the intense spread of the delta variant and how slowly funds were going out to people who really needed help to justify the new ban, and warned an uptick in evictions could trigger new spikes in covid cases. top democratic leaders celebrated the measure outside the u.s. capitol. house speaker nancy pelosi, who had been pressuring president biden to take action, called it a day of extraordinary relief. now, violating this new measure could result in fines and jail time. gayle? >> thank you very much, weijia. new york will be the first u.s. city to required covid vaccinations for many indoor activities. the mayor says this initiative is needed because too many people aot vaccinated, and the delta variant is too big a threat. customers and employees at

restaurants, gyms, theatres and other indoor businesses will now have to show proof they've gotten at least one covid shot. the policy takes effect in mid-august, but won't be enforced until mid-september. people can show their vaccine card, use the city's nyc covid safe app or the statewide pass. in the next hour we'll be talking about new york city mayor bill de blasio who will join us at the table about this first in the nation vaccine requirement. >> florida set a state record for covid hospitalizations for the third straight day yesterday, more than 11,500 patients. florida and texas together have about one-third of all the new covid cases in america. president biden criticized their governors, who have blocked new covid regulations. >> i say to these governors, please help. if you aren't going to help, at least get out of the way of the people that are trying to do the right thing. usou power to save lives. >> joining us now is dr. ashish

ja. good morning. we always tell people listen to the doctors if you are confused. what do you say to the governors of florida and texas? >> good morning, david. thanks for having me here. what i say to them is these are very difficult times right now and i would not see these things as regulations as much as public health measures to save lives. and there's a series of things we can do, because we've learned a lot about this virus, to get through the delta surge and get to the other end with a lot more people alive and safe if we put these into place. >> new york city is going to require people to be vaccinated before they go indoors. do you believe at this point, given the available data that you've looked at, do you think right now mandates are our most pandemic? >> you know, david, i do. and i don't know that we need to have a lot of government mandates, though actually i do believe what new york city is doing is really reasonable.

obviously this is a choice issue for some people. they don't want to be vaccinated. i understand that. but if you want to participate in a restaurant, you want to keep restaurants safe, if you want to go to a hospital or go into a university, it makes a lot of sense for those institutions to say we want everybody vaccinated. it creates a safe space for people. so i support mandates and i think that they are going to help a lot of people get off the fence and get vaccinated. >> booster shots, a lot of people will ask me when i'm out on the street, do we need booster shots? what do the doctors say? what do you think? >> yeah, this is one where my views have changed because science has changed. we've seen a lot of new data coming out in the last month or so, primarily from israel, elsewhere, that frail elders, for instance, who are more than six months out from their second shot, they may need a booster. other people, immunocompromised people need a booster. i don't know that everybody in america needs a booster. i haven't seen any data that says that's true. but i think for some high-risk people boosters make a lot of

sense. >> louisiana is one of the hottest hot spots right now, but as vaccinations -- as the infections and hospitalizations are rising, so, too, is the vaccination rate. what do you make of that? a lot of people are scared right now and that's driving them to get vaccinated. >> yeah, david, that's been one of the heartening things i have seen in the recent days, is that a lot of people in these places that have had low vaccinations are stepping up, are deciding that they want to protect themselves, they want to protect their families, they're seeing what's happening in their communities and getting vaccinated. of course i wish people had gotten vaccinated earlier, but at this point we've got to do everything we can to protect people and that means getting more and more people vaccinated. >> doctor, thank you for your time. we turn to the summer olympics, where team usa is adding to its leading medal count. u.s. track and field produced a one-two finish in the women's 400m hurdles last night, and gymnastics superstar simone biles is talking about the end of her olympics, winning a bronze medal on the balance

beam. biles said she's leaving tokyo in one piece and believes the conversation around athletes' mental health is changing for the better. jamie yuccas is there covering the summer games. good morning. >> reporter: so much to talk about. there were a lot of big records in track and field. history was also made in wrestling. as you said, simone biles spoke out before heading home. today's headlines are all focused on elite female athletes. >> on the inside, to the line! it's going to be sydney's time again. >> that's 21-year-old sydney mclaughlin breaking her own record on the way to gold in the women's 400 hurdles. and on the other side of the planet, that's her high school cheering her on in real time. american teammate dalilah

muhammad finished just behind for silver. athing mu is the first to win gold in the women's 800 in more than 50 years. >> i'm crying with joy. >> an american tamyra mensah-stock became the first women in history to win gold. the return of simone biles to the arena was a lesson in perseverance. she claimed bronze in the balance beam final, following a pause in competition to prioritize her mental health. >> it's something you can't see, and what i've been through, i just always fought through it and it's been really hard. and we have triggers, and unfortunately i had one of my biggest ones here. >> it's been a pretty wild week. >> louise radnofsky covers sports for the "wall street journal." she says biles has changed gymnastics forever. >> she got up on the balance beam, the most nerve-racking apparatus, and she wanted to get back out there and show that she could at least do something and that earned her a bronze medal

in the process. >> reporter: biles' gymnastics teammate suni lee spoke out about being distracted by social media during her uneven bars final, saying she is not on twitter. the host nation japan has ruled the podium in all ateboarding eventor,'s final. if you haven't seen these ladies, you better check them out soon. >> thank you, jamie. ahead we'll talk about history making olympic swimmer

we welcome you back to "cbs this morning." louisiana is one of the states being hit hardest by this new surge in coronavirus cases. the governor says it now has more virus-related hospitalizations now than at any other point in the pandemic. in march julie letlow won a special election to become the first republican woman from louisiana to serve in congress. the election was held because her husband, lou, died from covid in december. his death came just weeks after he was elected to the same congressional seat, but he died just a couple of weeks before he could be sworn in. in an interview that you will see only on "cbs this morning," we traveled to louisiana, and i sat down with the congresswoman to talk about what her late husband went through and to get her message to those people who are still unvaccinated. >> he and i had prayed for weeks

prior about the possibility of the vaccine. and we were so excited that it was coming out and that it was going to be widely available. and he missed it by two weeks. >> reporter: congresswoman julie letlow's husband luke had just been elected to congress when he got sick. >> he looked at me and said, "honey, i feel like i'm running a fever." and my heart sank. >> reporter: he isolated upstairs in their home, and she stayed downstairs with their children, jacqueline, 1, and jeremiah, 3. >> he had no pre-existing conditions. so there was just no reason why it had to go down that path, coughing nonstop. by the eighth day, he called me upstairs and said, "honey, i think it's time to go to the hospital." right before christmas. and i drove him to our hospital here, and he cried on the way because he was upset about missing christmas with his kids. jacqueline's first christmas and

jeremiah's, that he would be able to remember. >> reporter: by that point, she says that 50% of his lungs were just filled with covid pneumonia. from his hospital bed, luke letlow, a former congressional chief of staff, was working the phones like he was known to do best. >> got so bad i had to take the phone away because he wasn't resting. like the doctors were telling him to. but he was having conversations and was saying good-bye to people. and telling them he was at peace. and it all happened very quickly. where he was very aware and cognizant and speaking to people, and then kind of crossed over a threshold where i started to see the color drain. and that's when it hit me that he might not come home. >> reporter: when the time came to have the talk about whether to place him on a ventilator, luke letlow was ready. >> i called his parents, and

they prayed over him, called my parents, and they prayed over him. and every night before bed we had this ritual where we say the blessing over our children as they go to bed. >> reporter: that is? >> lord, bless you and keep you, make his face shine upon you, be gracious unto you, give you peace. and i said that over him, those were the last words. and that's when i kissed him good-bye. i was washing his feet, you know, and for christians that can be really symbolic. and i had no idea that i was preparing him and how special that moment was for both of us. >> reporter: right now the congresswoman's state of louisiana is seeing its worst surge yet in covid infections and hospitalizations. started t statistics in her own district in northern and central louisiana. with few exceptions, every

parish falls below 30% fully vaccinated. now i'm from lafayette -- >> right -- >> reporter: are some of the folks who are listening to everybody but the doctors, what do you say to them? >>eo don't want to feel forced into anything. they don't want to be lectured to. we are a very prideful, strong people in louisiana. i just said, what -- what can i do? is there anything i could do to help with the misinformation out there, with all of the confusion and fear and -- and someone asked, well, what would you -- what would you tell somebody who was on the fence about possibly receiving the vaccine? i said, i'd tell them about luke. i would tell them my story. >> reporter: so she and her team started thinking, what could they do to memorialize the stories of covid's victims? >> there's a power in stories, and so we talked about it and said, well, let's put together

this bill, it's the covid-19 american history project act, that will provide a space to collect those stories for library of congress. i would have given anything -- i would have givenva us. i mean, looking back now and for someone to turn it away, i just -- it's heartbreaking to me. >> reporter: luke letlow is buried under this cedar tree next to his grandfather in start, louisiana. >> my plot is right next to him, and all i want is a little footstone that says "and she followed up." >> reporter: the congresswoman splits her time between washington, d.c., and home in northeastern louisiana. >> see the duckies? let's go. let's go find them. >> reporter: as she moves forward raising their two children. if the vaccines were to become available for children as young as your kids, would you get them vaccinated? >> on the first day. my prayer is that not one more

person has to lose their life to this virus. it is a horrific way to leave this world. i don't wish it on anyone else. we have the answer. let's use it. >> we also talked about all of the misinformation that she says some of her constituents are buying into about vaccines, and that misinformation, she says, was really hard for her. in the middle of her grief the congresswoman said she literally sat down and went through hateful messages directed to her husband on social media saying that no, he didn't die of covid, he died of a heart attack or something else. she deleted those and said i couldn't stand to continue reading them. she's hoping that what you heard, her story, his story, might change your opinion. >> i sure hope so, david. i'm just struck by in the middle of all that she's -- she, he are getting hateful comments? that's what just blows me away.

i look at the children who i think will remember their father and that he had no underlying conditions. that's what's so scary about covid. had no underlying conditions whatsoever. >> none. two weeks before the vaccine came out. he was going to get it. he was ready to get it. >> that's interesting. >> he was going to get it. >> he was going to get it. >> and she summed it up at the end, we have the answer, let's use it. >> she said he wanted to have a press conference from his hospital bed to let people know, his constituents know how real the virus was. >> my heart aches for her. you can feel her pain, but you see her strength and her commitment now to helping others. that was really, really a beautiful story. >> congresswoman, thank you for sharing your story. >> yes. thank you very much. still ahead, new york city's mayor will tell us why he's decided you must be vaccinated. you need to see that story again -- to eat inside a restaurant. we'll be right back. does your plug-in fade too fast? try febreze fade defy plug. it has built-in technology to digitally control how much scent is released

the mayor of kansas city, missouri, has reinstated a mask mandate for people in his city, but he may have to defend it in court. the state's attorney general says he's suing the mayor and the city health department to remove that order. mireya villarreal is in kansas city. what is the mayor's response to this? good morning to you. >> reporter: well, good morning. yesterday we were actually talking to mayor lucas and were focusing on the rise in covid cases here in kansas city as well as across the state with the particular focus on how this affects children, as well. in fact, rig to confirm 269 kid positive at children's mercy kansas city hospital just last

week. now the hospital says they have hit capacity several times recently, and they now have right now ten kids in their hospital battling covid. that's one of the main reasons why the city leaders are now requiring people to wear masks in public spaces here in kansas city. as we were in our interview, the missouri attorney general tweeted out that he was filing a lawsuit asking a judge to ban the mask mandate which he argued would protect residents' rights and freedoms. the lawsuit claims lucas does not have the authority to mandate masks and says that there's no concrete proof covid has a substantial impact on children. lucas immediately during our interview called this a political move. >> he doesn't care about covid-19. he doesn't care about the outbreak in our community. the icus filled up, the young people getting sick. >> reporter: as the showdown as i plays out in court, it will continue to play out in

court now. the mask mandate will stay in place until a judge says otherwise. anthon >> right. thank you. up next, vlad duthiers has the stories you'll be talki why hide your skin if dupixent has your moderate-to-severe eczema or atopic dermatitis under control? ng where count dermatitis under control? dupixent helps heal ur skin om withi and that means long-lasting clearer skin...

inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. >> that is just not who i am. and that's not who i have ever been. i now understand that there are generational or cultural perspectives that, frankly, i hadn't fully appreciated. and i have learned from this. >> now, this was a civil investigation. that means it has not been sent to prosecutors for possible criminal charges. but local authorities could use it to build their own cases. new york city mayor, bill de blasio, is among those calling for the resignation. and the mayor announced the city will start requiring proof of covid vaccination for a range of indoor activities, including going to a restaurant or gym. new york is the first major u.s. city to introduce a mandate like this. it requires to show proof of at least one vaccine dose and will be phased in starting later this

month. good morning. thanks for being here at the table. i want to start with the investigation of governor cuomo. there's no secret there's no love lost between you and governor cuomo but this is a damming report. as you saw, the governor came out with a highly produced response that included a montage of clips of him embracing people like former president clinton. what did you make of the governor's response? >> the whole thing has been so painful. when you read this report. 11 women systematically wrong, 11 women affronted by a powerful guy who could crush their career and reputation. and he's the kind of guy that everyone assumes you would if you crossed him. he harassed them and assaulted them in several cases. and has the audacity to say i like to hug people. that's out of touch with reality and profoundly disrespectful. how about saying i did something

wrong. i have to atone for my sins and go and deal with my problems? >> he says it's generational and he's not someone who would intentionally inappropriately -- >> putting a hand up a woman's shirt and touching her breast is not generational. i know plenty of guy whose are older who would never do that in a million years. asking 20 something older women if they would date a older guy and leering at them. it's not even close. >> the governor is not showing any indication he will resign? >> i believe he must revine for the good of new york state and our people. if he doesn't, the clammer, which is universal at this point democrats and republicans saying he has to go, is going to win the day. if he wants to wait for

impeachment, he can but it's coming soon. >> should he be charge snd. >> it looks like it. if you do something against her will sexually, that's criminal. and the albany county district attorney is looking at that and i think he should be charged. >> so, you're going to mandate vaccines for people going indoors. how does that effect kids who can't be vaccinated, of course? >> we welcome kids. wear a mask, which is a smart thing to do. and soon they will be eligible. we want families to enjoy stuff together but in a safe environment for the folks who work in restaurants, gyms, etc. and customers. you go in an environment. you know everyone's vaccinated, everyone's safe. >> as someone who lives in the city, it gives me peace of mind, knowing everyone is vaccinated. but do you think it could effect tourism? >> first of all, we're in a city

of 5 million people whool have got at least one dorse. suburbs, higher level of vaccinations. tourists coming here, more likely they're vaccinated as well, from all of our stud as. in the end, this guarantees the safety of everyone involved and it's going to encourage a lot of people to just take that next step. young people need -- i have two 20 somethings. they want to go to restaurants and bars and concerts. get vaccinated and you're in. >> they need encouragement repeatedly. >> amen. >> is the business or you and the nypd? >> we're going to implement this and educate businesses, support them. we're not doing any kind of penalties until the second half of september. a lot of business owners have told me thank you. we can tell everyone -- >> you're giving them cover. >> in a good way.

>> you've not included an indoor mask mandate. bieveaccine is the ball game. i'm using my mask lots more places -- >> you were wearing it in the green room? >> yes. but i want to say to fully vaccinated people, you have the option to take it off. i want people to get vaccinated to feel they can live life fully. the reward of vaccination is freedom. tragically, if you don't get vaccinated, you're going to be left out. >> there's a big concert coming june 21st outside. >> full vaccinations. to go to one of these amazing concerts, you have to be vaccinated. they're outdoors but you still have to be vaccinated. what we're doing with the restaurants, movie theaters and gyms, i'm hoping other mayors will pick this up.

they like the government taking the lead, it helps the private sector go smoother. president biden said yesterday this is the kind of thing people should do. this is how we help people get vaccinated. don't take it lightly. >> we wouldn't be in this position with the delta variant if people had got vaccinated. >> exactly. ahead, swimmer katy ledecky will join us with her gold medals. she's got more gold riter

pat sports writer has covered his share of events. how many olympices have you covered? >> my ninth. >> is this pretty special? >> by far the best. >> team u.s.a.'s brook 40, also known as his daughter, talk about sharing an incredible olympic experience together. we love when that happens. you're watching cbs this morning. when that happens. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that. we'll be right back. it's got to be tide.

schedules -- well, i had a very busy schedule, caeleb had a busy schedule, but i tried to go just one race at a time, and i felt like that helped me get through the week and really enjoy it. and i tried to just wake up each day with a great mindset and with the belief that i could do what i came there to do and just take care of business and enjoy being with my teammates. >> you said you spent more time in a swimsuit than sleeping. let's talk about that. how much sleep are you getting? >> i was probably getting about six hours a night, and i was probably in a swimsuit about six hours a day during my week in tokyo. so it was a very busy week. i swam 6200 meters of racing, so it was my program with the addition of the 1500 free. it was a lot, but as i said, i enjoyed it, i enjoyed the challenge and really just tried to embrace being there. >> well, it was fun watching you, but this is what i thought was very interesting.

we were talking about this before you came on. the 1500 meter race you won in goal is nearly a mile. that's nearly a mile swimming. katie, i can walk and run. it takes me 14 minutes and 39 seconds. can you top that? how do you mentally and physically prepare to do this? i marvel that you can do that. >> thank you, it takes a lot of hard work and i've loved the distance events from a very young age, and i feel like i've just built up confidence in that race, and i know how to swim it, and i just kept reminding myself that and felt like i could get the job done, as i said. >> do you listen to certain music? >> sometimes. i'm pretty focused on my race right before, and i settle into a good rhythm. actually, during my 1500 free, i was thinking about my family quite a bit during the race, which really helped me through and really helped me get my hand to the wall first. >> you said when you want to think about something positive, you think about your

grandparents. why your grandparents? >> they're the four toughest people i know. i still have my two grandmothers that are alive, and i'm really excited to go show them the medals when i get the chance this month, and they just bring a smile to my face and sometimes that's all you need to have a great time. >> katie, this is your third olympics, but you're already thinking about your fourth. you're looking forward to that. >> i am. i really hope i have the opportunity to represent team usa in paris. i kind of just want to let this sink in first, but i know in the next couple months i'll be back to work and back with some new goals for 2024. >> all right, so that's 2024. 2028 is los angeles. do you want to do that? i' notoing to commito that, t i thk it uld be soing com onl any opportunity to do that is

instead of our usual "talk of the table" now we're sharing how a group of bestselling authors has teamed up to write a book exploring the joy and wonder of black boyhood. "black boy joy" 17 stories celebrating black boys is an anthology with a medley of stories, poems, and comics about the power and fun of growing up as a black boy. >> we invited five authors to come together in a conversation. they are george johnson, a nonbinary writer, activist, and author of "all boys aren't blue." kwame mbalia is author of "the tristan strong trilogy." jerry krabs is author of "new kid." tochi onyebuchi is author of "riot baby."

and jason reynolds, we know natr young people's literature and author of "long way down." they gathered at a coffee shop in bro iortance of representing black boys in joyful stories and with a full range of emotions. title? why "black boy joy" of all the things it could have been, why, and secondly, what does it mean to you? >> so "black boy joy," just the term, was coined about five or six years ago. and it's become synonymous with the almost just the relief and being able to express one's self free from all of stereotypes, judgment, and outside framing. i think that for myself whenever i've walked into the kitchen, my parents had the news on. it was always someone like me in the street, right, or a mug shot. i'm like, you know, if you're going to tell the story of the

world, tell the whole story, right. and this, the joy, the es celeation, the love, i feel like that's been missing from a lot of the stories. >> when i was a kid, there was no joy in anyone t moment, they were just setting you up to -- you know what i mean? so like the whole thing could be, oh, he's trying to get into harvard, right. at the end, he'll get -- >> right. >> and he's opening it uup, boo boom, and you'd see the letter floating down -- >> right. >> right. right. >> fade to black. >> so when you asked me to be in this you had me at the title. i'm going to be with people who aren't writing to that story. >> so for me, "black boy joy" is really getting into the stories thatys eed but ly ever get .hi aut howat grand has sayings like you counted on joy. and what that means is like even

the bad days, there's still joy there. i often think about the movie "stand by me" which was like, you know, four little white boys that got to have adventure and fun. it's like, i remember being a young black boy with my two cousins who i grew up with and my little brother, and we were those four little boys. but we never got those stories. and so for me, this was the opportunity to, one, tell the story of who i would have been if i had language as a nonbinary kid, and also reflect on the relationship that i had with my grandmother, that i had with my family which was supportive of me as a young queer boy who didn't have language and who didn't know what was going on with me. and two, ensure that there was representation of what we think of the black male image, the black man image, and knowing that it doesn't all come packaged in the same thing. >> it's liberation for me. the story that i wrote,

"coping," is about this young black skateboarder. when i was his age, my dream was to be in the x games. that was my thing. but i'd never seen that depicted. >> for me it's always about like humanity andag. i believe that black people are as boring as everybody else. >> i can -- >> boring, right? we live hum drum lives like everybody else. if we can recognize the magic there, there's joy. >> the beauty of these stories, the joy is the final destination, right. but the root that everyone takes -- the route that everyone takes is totally different. as you're writing your story, how did you navigate toward the joy? >> the question that i asked myself is where is this kid finding joy. at the beginning, he thinks the joy is caught up in physical achievement. he's like, i want to do this thing, get famous, hear the crowd roar my name. i'm at the top of this like

halfpipe getting ready to do all types of daring stuff. but the journey he goes through ends up being that, oh, there can be joy in helping others. there can be joy in making sure somebody has something to eat. you can put a smile on another so of alchemy at work that puts a smile on your face as a result. and that was something that was very important for me to sort of dive into and explore because i think, you know, particularly with regards to achievement and the interaction of that with black boyhood, it's like, oh, you've got to do good to get out the hood, or you got to do good to fulfill this family expectation or that -- you know, like where is there space for the black boy to figure out what he wants to do. what brings him joy. >> right. i think in my story, thooulat's i was trying to say. the first day of school, i don't know about y'all but when i was coming up, the first day, you had to get dressed, it was like, hey, you're getting ready to walk in, this is going to set

the tone. this is your skill -- this is it. >> for the whole semester. >> even if you were a kid who didn't have much, which is in my story, he doesn't have a lot. he's got sneakers he's owned for four years. what i wanted to shine a light on, you got black boys who -- like growing up in my household, you cared about your appearance, you took care of your things. you idolized your big bro for many reasons, wriright, and to share the care that goes into the first day. if you talk to your grandmas and grandfathers they'll tell you keep your shoes clean. you leave this house, we might not have much it don't mean that you got to go out like -- they don't have to know that. keep your shoes clean. it was a very real thing because there is that kid who is in the back of the class twiddling his pen sellscils checking his jord make sure there's no scuffs. that kid should be loved, too. >> for me, i think the book was definitely like not about asking permission anymore. it's about taking up space.

it's a bold attempt at a counter narrative that we rarely get to see. when you think about even all of last year, it took the entire world to come together to get one white cop put in jail. so for me, this book is really about giving our black boys something else that they can hold on to in a world that tells them that they're not worthy of grabbing on to anything. and this will give the green light to someone who read this to say, you know, i didn't necessarily feel seen in this, but i appreciate that these 17 other types of us got seen. but maybe i'll write the story for the 18th one of us to be seen. >> before we go, i just want to say, i got a thing about making sure that black men publicly tell each other that we love each other. and so i just want to say like i love you all, man. it's important that we publicly do that. >> yeah. >> i love that he did that at the end. >> i do, too. it acc

it's an important conversation. it's not all hum drum. it was funny that he said black people live hum drum lives, cona favorimigrseptemavorit daery's t c i black boy joshe's gettgictus k boys she'sso pnt , book, going to the beach. just normal everyday things that give you joy that many times are not associated with little black children. that's why this is important. >> what jason said, there's humanity and magic in mundanity. >> yes. >> there's a lesson for all of us watching. i loved when he said what brings you joy, and it's a question for all of us, what brings you jaoy? what brings you joy? i saw a quote outside the building that says "find what sets your soul on fire." find what sets your soul on fire. >> that's the quest. >> isn't it lovely to witness

conversations like that? >> good conversation like that. what gives me joy, anything with icing. anything with icing. a special thank you -- john tower, please tell white house did that piece. that's very hard to do. >> boom, boom, well done. >> watching at home, it's hard to do a piece where there's no track, you have conversation that flows and makes sense. you guys knocked it out of the park. thank you. >> thank you, gentlemen, for that conversation. >> yes. david, you now. >> "black boy joy" on sale now. beautiful color. >> i want there book. covid has kept more spectators and families away from the tokyo olympics. ahead, the unique, is that's allowed one dad to see his daughter swim and win a

of course, back home to support their athletes. but silver medal-winning u.s. swimmer brooke forde had someone a little closer to the action. ♪ >> forde in her first olympic swim -- >> reporter: when brooke forde swam her leg of a key qualifying race for team usa, she had a familiar face cheering her on in the stands. >> there he is. >> reporter: her dad. award-winning sports writer pat forde. >> i did violate media protocol, i did cheer in the press box. >> reporter: you didn't care about being an impartial journalist during this. >> no, i didn't. according to my colleagues, i was literally jumping up and down, you know, at various points. >> reporter: i think we'll let you pass this time. >> thank you. >> ran down from the stands right after my race. i was hoping he would be there, but i wasn't sure. we walked through the mix zone after the race, and he was standing right there in his little interview stall. that was cool to see him right away.

>> reporter: that's crazy to think that you're there, you're covering it, and you don't know if you're going to be able to see him. >> that's how this thing's been. i feel incredibly fortunate. i get to at least see her face to face right after she's had the biggest competition of her life. so really cool. >> reporter: a swimmer from an early age, brooke long dreamed r covid and spent two weeks in quarantine in a room by myself. it was pretty hard physically and emotionally to get back on the horse after that. and pretty soon after that, i went to a long course meet in san antonio. and yeah, halfway through my 400 i stopped swimming because i was having a panic attack. and i spent a while like a week or so thinking that i did not want to go to olympic trials anymore. and i definitely thought no.

i was like, i'm reached my limit, and i don't care that much anymore. >> reporter: what was it like to see her have a panic attack? >> that was awful. we knew she was struggling. we didn't know she was struggling that badly. >> reporter: there's been so much discussion about mental health in these olympics. do you feel like you witnessed that firsthand at home? >> yeah. sure. you know, i mean, it's been unbelievable listening to athletes' stories and her teammate simon manuel, a friend of hers, what she struggled through with over training and the seeds of doubt that that planted in her mind. and then obviously what happened with simone biles. these athletes are dealing with a lot, you know. i certainly have a greater empathy for that, and i hope everybody is getting a greater empathy for it. >> reporter: despite the challenges, both and physical, brooke was excited for the opportunity to compete for her country. >> just after having it briefly taken away there, i was like, okay, i'm glad that i can still go. and i do really want to go and compete at olympic trials. and then things were going better after that.

>> reporter: and kept getting better. last week she won a silver medal as a member of the women's four by 200-meter relay team. what's it like to see that silver medal around her neck? >> it's awesome. it is -- it's kind of overwhelming because that's the real thing. now it's really real. so yeah, that's my daughter with the silver medal. >> reporter: does dad get emotional? >> he's the family cryer probably more than refst of us. >> reporter: well, the family cryer, pat, is so far the only family member who's touched that medal. brooke says she's excited to share it with the rest of the fordes. while pat watched live, the rest of the family did hold a watch party back home in louisville. proud papa pat is still in tokyo, though, covering the games for "sports illustrated" and says he will definitely be bringing back a special gift to his wife who was just a little bit envious having to watch at

home. >> what a great story. i love seeing the two of them together. thank you. thank you so much. i love watching the dad watch the daughter and the daughter watch the dad. when she came out and said -- him in the interview stall, we've all been in that little interview stall. that's nice. >> also watching him talk about how when she came to a stop in the pool because of a panic attack -- i've been in that situation when your daughter is struggling. it's heartbreaking, especially when you know how much she's trained and been through. i love everything about this. i love that she won a medal, but it's important to see what she went through to get there and how supportive he was. and given as they said everything we've been talking about at this olympics, we have enormous respect now for what athletes have to do. >> oh, absolutely. miss forde, making louisville and all of us proud. >> that's right. a louisiana story that you can embrace. >> louisville -- louisville. >> oh kentucky. >> kentucky. >> that's right. that's right. in a different state. >> we love louisiana, too. >> yes. i actually did go to high school and college. thank you, jamie. on today's podcast, jamie

and cbs news reporter lucy craft discuss what it's like to cover the olympics from covid-19 restrictions to protests. they explain what made this year's games unprecedented. before we go, how a massachusetts woman is turning beach trash into artistic treasure. you know that saying -- everybody's trash is somebody's treasure. she's doing that. we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning." california, did you know our homes share power? but when we try to stay cool in a heat wave our supply is pushed to the limit. but you have the power to keep us up and running! “i do?” yup, we all do! with flex alerts. they notify us when to shift our energy use

raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. show your world what's truly inside. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity.

a massachusetts artist is really taking the phrase one man's trash is another man's treasure to heart. jackie ranney walks along the beach almost every day collecting everything from plastic bags to bottles to screen doors. but she's not just cleaning up, she uses the waste to create works of art. >> one pay of trh, i t it was blue dock

foam, and it looked so beautiful once i took it off the beach and it wasn't trash
