gayle. as the ceo of this hospital chain told us, they're simply trying to weather the storm right now. but come monday, they will have to suspend all elective procedures for now to accommodate the surge of covid-19 patients. more than 90% of them are unvaccinated. inside memorial health care system in broward county, icu beds are once again filling up fast. >> it has gone up 400% in the laugh six weeks. >> reporter: aurelio fernandez is the president and ceo of memorial which recently added 266 extra beds to keep up with demand. >> we have converted conference centers, auditoriums, cafeterias, to get the surge. these are clean patients. we don't put covid patients in the overflow areas. >> reporter: but the overflow are built because of the ones that are. >> that's correct. >> reporter: that surge includes children. as of yesterday, 135 children

under 18 in florida are hospitalized with covid. the highest it's ever been. >> if you aren't going to help, at least get out of the way. >> reporter: on tuesday, president biden called out hot spot governors including florida's ron desantis for failing to implement restrictions, including mask mandates in schools. that is something the governor has no intention of doing. >> he thinks that should be a decision for the government. i can tell you, in florida the parents are going to be the ones in charge of that decision. [ applause ] >> reporter: desantis argued biden's immigration policies are responsible for the surge, claiming without any evidence that undocumented immigrants are causing the virus to spread. >> why don't you get border secure, and until you do that, i don't want to hear a blip about covid from you. thank you. [ applause ] >> the rise of covid in florida is because of the delta variant, and it's effectiveness. and secondarily because of permissive behavior. >> reporter: cbs news medical contributor dr. david agus says covid cases are surging in

florida for other reasons. >> with low vaccination rates and going out without masks and in large groups, you're going to get significant spread of the virus, period. >> reporter: and just last week, desantis signed an executive order that would pull funding from districts that require masks. >> the minimum we could do to protect all of the people who decided to get vaccinated or not is to put our masks on. even if vaccinated. >> reporter: john moreno escobar, running for the broward county school board and whose son luca will begin first grade this year, believes it's up to parents to convince those who are hesitant. how would you try to convince them that masks are a good thing in schools? >> we are protecting others by putting the mask on. putting the mask is protecting the life of someone else, and life is sacred. we should protect it all as a community. >> reporter: another challenge facing hospitals right now isn't necessarily capacity but staffing shortages. according to the florida hospital association, 60% of hospitals in the state could face a critical staffing shortage within the next week.

anthony? >> manuel bojorquez, thanks. now to california where wildfires are exploding in size, forcing thousands of people from their homes. take a look at that video showing destruction from the massive dixie fire. the flames wiped out the center of the historic town of greenville yesterday. the fire now the eighth largest in california history is one of more than a dozen large wildfires burning there. jonathan vigliotti is in colfax at the fast-growing river fire. jonathan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. we're standing in a neighborhood that appears to be completely destroyed. home after home looks like this one. reduced to rubble. the river fire started yesterday afternoon. it quickly exploded to 1,400 acres. north of where we are is the dixie fire. it's about 200 times the size of this one and growing by the hour. the flames of the dixie fire

gutted the town of greenville, california, homes, stores, and gas stations burned to the ground. the fire is on the move, exploding to about 20,000 acres in a single day. it's now covering 278,000 acres and 35% contained. >> okay once you get past that -- >> reporter: firefighters struggle to drive through smoke as strong winds and the dry vegetation and brush are fueling the fire. residents are packing up. >> most significant part i guess is just not knowing what's happening and where it's at. it's just -- just explodes so fast. you don't have time to react with anything. >> reporter: more than three hours away, people in placer and nevada counties are leaving their homes because of the river fire. some with just the clothes on their backs. >> shaking like a leaf, but it's okay. i've got my family together. that's what's important. >> reporter: flames created fireballs like this one and damaged as many as 45 buildings. firefighters worked to create break lines with bulldozers to prevent more damage.

>> right up the canyon in the trees and all of the brush -- i'm just concerned that tomorrow i might not have one. >> reporter: and fire crews are going to have a busy day ahead of them. red flag warnings remain in effect through the evening. wind gusts could reach up to 35 miles per hour, turning hot spots like this into major flames. dana? >> all right. thank you. a move to impeach new york governor andrew cuomo over allegations of repeated sexual harassment could start as soon as next week. and a lawyer for his former aide lindsey boylan says she plans to sue cuomo and people in his administration. investigators found the governor retaliated against boylan. who was the first to come forward with misconduct claims. jericka duncan has covered the story for months. people are wondering now what about criminal charges? >> exactly. that's the question.

right now we have four district attorneys including here in manhattan that have launched probes into alleged sexual harassment of at least 11 women detailed in the state attorney general's report. while the bar is high, criminal charges could be possible. civil cases now seem very likely. >> when lindsey came forward the floodgates opened -- >> reporter: attorney jill basinger represents lindsey boylan, the foster woman to publicly accuse the governor of sexual misconduct. she first came forward via twitter in december. in a state attorney general's report, she says the governor sexually harassed her, physically touched her, including on the waist, legs, and back, kissed her on the cheeks, and on one occasion on the lips. >> now that the report is out, does lindsey fear retribution today? >> yes. she absolutely does. >> reporter: according to the report, after boil an came forward -- boylan came forward, the executive chamber engaged in an effort to discredit her including by disseminating to the press confidential internal

documents that painted her in a negative light and going after her credibility. >> she plans to sue the governor for retaliation. >> reporter: why not go after the governor for the sexual harassment piece? >> the governor can deny sexual harassment even though he shouldn't. the governor can say nothing about the retaliation. there are emails, there are witnesses. and the retaliation is also honestly the worst part of it because it -- it completely discourages other women from coming forward. >> reporter: in an 85-page response released tuesday, governor cuomo denied he sexually harassed boylan and questioned her motivations.

>> i want you to know directly from me that i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. >> reporter: do you think the governor will resign before the end of the week? >> he should. but you know, i don't know if he will. he's taken a very strong position of i didn't do it, and he's basically calling everyone else a liar. >> reporter: people familiar with the situation tell cbs news there's an understanding among legislators that if cuomo does not resign by the end of the weekend they'll move quickly to impeach. a source with cbs news tells us that the governor has no intention of resigning, and his plan now is really to keep quiet and stay out of the news. that's almost impossible because you have these alleged victims that continue to come forward to tell their stories. now that it's been public and corroborated. >> yeah. he's not talking, but everybody else is. >> exactly. >> and the legal action is just beginning. thank you. president biden plans to sign an executive order today setting a new national goal for electric vehicle sales. the administration will also announce stricter fuel efficiency standards. first on "cbs this morning," ben

tracy talked to epa administrator michael regan about the new efforts to fight climate change. good morning. >> reporter: anthony, good morning. so the federal government wants the cars and trucks we drive to be more efficient. so they pollute less. and a big part of these standards is to try to get us out of our gas-powered cars and into electric ones. >> look, the future of the auto industry is electric. there's no turning back. >> reporter: president biden thinks the road to an electric future could be a relatively short drive. >> this sucker's quick -- >> reporter: his executive order today says by 2030 half of all vehicles sold in the u.s. should be electric. right now, evs make up just 2% of new car sales. this is ambitious, but is it realistic? >> it's both. it's an ambitious goal, and it is realistic. >> reporter: when the automakers talk about ev sales, they frame it as aspirations, as goals. do you believe they're going to do what they say they may do?

>> you know, we hope that they will. and we will hold them accountable. we know that this is where the technology's headed. we know this is the future of the automobile industry. >> reporter: today epa will unveil stricter new efficiency standards for cars and trucks claiming it will save american drivers as much as $250 billion in fuel cost by 2050. and prevent 2.2 billion tons of carbon pollution. transportation is the single-largest source of planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions in the u.s. requiring vehicles to be more efficient forces automakers to build and sell more electric models. that's how they offset gas live guzzling trucks and suvs. with the impacts of climate change now seemingly everywhere, environmental groups wanted the biden administration to be bolder. the new tailpipe regulations are essentially a return to the obama standards that were undone by president trump. dan becker is with the center

for biological diversity which took out full-page ads urging president biden to do more. >> i'm disappointed that the president who says global warming is an existential threat isn't putting out a rule that is up to the challenge of that threat. >> a lot of these environmental groups that are very supportive of the administration's moves on climate just don't think this is enough. >> we all have that sense of urgency. epa has a significant role in assuring that we get the emission reductions we need. and we planned on holding all of our stakeholders accountable. >> reporter: now executives from the big three automakers are going to be at the white house later today when president biden makes his announcement about electric vehicles. but they're already saying they're probably only going to be doing 40% to 50% electric sales by the end of the decade, and they frame that as an aspiration, not a commitment. >> got it. thank you. at the olympics the u.s. men's basketball team will play for a shot at its fourth straight gold medal.

we like that.al broke his own olympic record, and the u.s. racked up more wins on the track and the u.s. women's soccer team made a statement in their bronze medal game. jamie yuccas is in tokyo. she's been covering the summer games and killing it, by the way. jamie, good morning to you, team usa making us proud. >> reporter: oh, thank you, gayle. and yes, they are. all we do is win, right? that's the song that keeps looping in my head. after being upset by the canadians and denied gold, both pride and a bronze medal were on the line for american soccer's biggest stars, and they delivered. it was a redemption of sorts for team usa's women's soccer team who are not used to playing for a bronze. convincingly beating australia for the medal even though it was not the one they wanted. kevin durant and the men's basketball team advanced to the gold medal game bouncing back after being down 15 points at the half against another tough australian team.

>> come on! >> reporter: that's american shot put gold medal winner ryan crauser defending his rio 2016 title. he broke three world records on his way to another gold. he held up the sign dedicated to his grandfather who introduced him to the sport. he died just before the tokyo games. teammate joe covax won his second consecutive olympic silver. >> on the inside, they're -- >> they well -- they had a little rivalry. >> reporter: canada's andre de grasse may have won the 200-meter gold on the track, but it's kenny bernard's mom winning hearts after watching her son win silver. what is it like to see kenny succeeding as much as he is right now? >> it blows my mind. it just blows my mind. this is a little kid whose whole dream in the world forever has been to run in the olympics. and you never would have thought he'd ever do anything like this.

he was a klutz. he'd trip over his own two feet. to see him run so flawlessly without any effort is just mind-boggling. and his brother used to say, ah, you're going to be the next usain bolt. and i would go, no, insane bolt, and they would get mad. >> reporter: mom keeping it real there. and some shocking news, though, team usa crashed out of the men's 4 by 100 relay, not even making the finals and placing a distant sixth place in their heat. they used to dominate the event but have not won a medal since 2004. olympic legend carl lewis, who won gold in the 4 by 100 in '84 and '92 calling it a total embarrassment and completely unacceptable. >> ouch, carl. all i think can of is mom calling her son a klutz.

only mom can do that, only mom. she loves him very much. ahead, internet scams. anna werner visited a small business in maine that lost a couple of a million dollars to fraudsters last year. we'll show how easy it is for fraudsters to target you.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's been a huge spike in internet scams targeting americans. the fbi says 2020 was a record year with almost 800,000 complaints. this year, investigators expect around a million. the financial losses last year totaled more than $4 billion, and the scams are getting much more sophisticated. our consumer investigative correspondent anna werner visited a small business in maine that was targeted by frauds fraudsters. good morning. >> good morning. this is a story that these business owners wanted to tell to warn others because they say the damage to small businesses cannot only hurt that business but the employees who rely on it, even the economy.

on any lake in maine, chances s boat docks lining the shore. >> a lot of docks. >> reporter: his company, great northern docks, custom builds the platforms and parts employing 20 people. but he says he came close to losing it all last october when the company's accountant went on line to send out the weekly payroll from keybank. >> it was like a bombshell. it was unthinkable what happened. >> reporter: accountant shellie brown had just gotten a new computer the day before, and in order to send out the payroll, she searched the internet for the bank's payroll website called key navigator and logged on. was it pretty much the first site that came up? >> yes. you put in your same user name, passwords. >> reporter: once on the site she says a message said it was undergoing system maintenance, but then her phone rang showing keybank on the caller i.d. >> telling me, again, that the system was under maintenance, and they should have it fixed

within a few hours. >> reporter: later that day, she checked the site again and got a second phone call. >> and they said, we're not going to be able to get it done today. but you should be able to be up and running by morning. >> reporter: seems total normal. >> yes. >> reporter: but the next morning, she had an email from the bank. which said -- >> they we had overdrawn our account. we never overdraw funds ever. i knew something was up. >> reporter: she said she immediately logged on to the bank's website from her home computer and saw withdrawal after withdrawal. $4,000, $18,000, $51,000. when you realized that -- >> sick. sick to my stomach. >> reporter: and then she had to tell her business. >> she said, something's very wrong. i've got all these transactions that have happened, and i can't explain them. >> reporter: 68 transactions in all. >> it just felt devastating. i don't know how else to say it.

>> reporter: $249,000 gone. >> it was totally shocking. shocking. and i think of sam as a brother. and his reason for wanting me to be in the role i was in because he could trust me. >> reporter: you feel like you let somebody down. >> it's my job. >> reporter: hthe company fell victim to internet scammers who are targeting businesses. unit chief donna gregory -- >> on the business side there's a lot more money. a bigger bang for the buck. you're going to get, you know, six figures or more. >> reporter: those scammers set up fraudulent sites that can look identical to the real ones. like the keybank site merriam's bookkeeper logged on to. a cybersecurity firm he hired found it was a fraudulent site that behaved just like the genuine site. and the people who called her -- the crooks themselves with a faked caller i.d. that said

keybank. >> the criminals are very good at this. they've actually really perfected this over time. it's a business. >> reporter: but merriam says he didn't originally think he'd lose the whole quarter of a millions dollars. he said his contract with keybanks called for it not to allow payouts greater than $25,000 per week. the bank later told him it wasn't responsible. >> i said, so you're saying i'm on my own? he said, unfortunately, yes. >> reporter: keybank would not comment on merriam's case, but it confirmed a trend of spoofed websites and said it has identified and helped take down approximately 150 of those fake sites. the bank says it takes steps to alert clients so they can avoid becoming a victim of fraud and works directly with clients to recover any losses that they can. merriam and brown say in their case the bank's security protocols failed. >> i feel that keybank really

let us down. >> reporter: you're mad. >> i am mad. i think the bank should be protecting us as customers, consumers. and they didn't. >> reporter: merriam says he was fortunate enough to sustain the loss and keep his employees in their jobs, but he's speaking out to warn others. >> i feel like i have a moral obligation to -- as a survivor, i have a moral obligation to warn other business owners. >> reporter: well, so initially about $66,000 of the roughly $250,000 was recovered by the bank. it hadn't gone out yet. but merriam believed the bank should make up the rest, so he hired a lawyer to negotiate. nw they had previously told us they were not making much progress, but since we reached out to keybank this week, that has changed. the matter has quickly been settled we're told. >> yay. >> and if you've had this happen with keybank or any others, we want to hear from you.

email us at consumer@cbsnews.com. tell us your story. >> anna's very good, favorite viewers. we said, did they get the money? she said, "stay tuned." did a shoulder wiggle. >> when she signed that -- that site looked so real. were they taking her information? is that what was happening? and the phone call was what? >> the scammers are taking the information, and ty take the credentials and use them on the real site at the same time that they're talking to her and getting her stuff, right. like a two-hand operation. the phone calls were a stalling tactic so that you don't go to the real bank site and reach out to your real bank and call the real bank and say what's going on at which point they would say what are you talking about. >> she hadn't given any information on the phone. >> no. >> she had already logged it in -- >> they're calling to reassure you. sophisticated what the fbi calls social engineering technique. >> it is my nightmare when i get on sites and think about that especially with a bank. >> thank you for telling the story. >> read the url address very

safety and the safety of all individuals involved. at all times officers are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the law and department policy." >> trauma, heartache, they left a lot aggage behind. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," i'm dave savini. >> lot of baggage is right. can you imagine how traumatized those children are. >> yeah. and hindsight's 20/20 but to hear the police went into the apartment without knowing, with no evidence that they had even gone in the apartment, very frighte frightening. >> made that discussion to bust down the door. not walk in an open door but bust it down. >> has to be a better way to do this. dave savini again with another exclusive. >> the look on the little girl's face told you everything. next, vlad du

since a massive explosion rocked beirut. the blast was caused by more than 2,000 tons of ammonium nitrate that had been improperly stored for years. it killed more than 200 people and leveled a large area of lebanon's capital. protesters furious about the lack of answers and the economic collapse clashed with security forces. imtiaz tyab has more. >> reporter: they came in the thousands one year after the largest non-nuclear explosion devastated their city. what they want is answers. instead, they were met with teargas from a state which refuses to hold itself or anyone else accountable for the disaster. more than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate carelessly stored for six years exploded at beirut's downtown port, devastating the city and lives.

pfizer or a moderna shot. people would also need their doctor's consent. the health department was not specific about who qualifies for this extra shot, and it did not answer our cbs news inquiry about how many people had qualified. our dr. david agus joins us from los angeles. good morning. what's the difference between a supplemental shot and a booster shot? >> reporter: i honestly don't know. i mean, in the sense they're the same thing, right. they are -- another vaccine that you're receiving. the idea is is that a booster shot boots the immune system and you guest a five to tenfold increase in immunity. in people whose immunity head gone down or immune suppressed, didn't make a great response this. is a stleupplemental i assume because it has slightly lower immunity but tremendously protective against delta today. they would increase the immunity. doesn't make a lot of sense to me. >> as i mentioned it goes against the advice of the cdc.

is it actually safe? >> yeah. i mean, it's probably going to be safe. but i emphasize the word probably because it hasn't been studied. and the notion that a county health department is making in a sense policy decisions for the country, that to me is troublesome and worrisoworrisom. vaccines are limited supply around the globe. wee to use them as appropriately, and it makes sense. one city should not be able to make decisions about how to deploy vaccines that are from the nation's supply. >> how has san francisco been allowed to do this? >> they're just doing it. this is san francisco. they do what they want. i think that's of concern here clearly. and you know, we have to take a step back and say, who needs a third shot, a booster shot? potentially people who are immune suppressed which is being done in countries across the globe. potentially people of a certain age whose immunity has gone down. but it isn't a decision of a county health department. >> but you said that the johnson & johnson vaccine is holding up

well against the delta variant. >> well, i'm not saying it, the data are saying it. the data are saying that people who got the j&j vaccine are not being hospitalized or getting very sick at an increased rate compared to the other vaccines. the vaccines are remarkably accept acceptable. there are not vaccines failing. that's critical. >> you said, you know, booster or supplemental, however we see this, pfizer is supposed to seek fda authorization for that booster shot. you said that's coming. how soon might we see that required or that i guess requested booster? >> you know, i hope soon. when i look around the world, when you've got israel, the united kingdom, germany, and france saying people who are immune suppressed need a booster, a third shot, that makes sense to me. you know, people who are elderly, past a certain point, need to get the -- a booster.

that makes sense based on data we have from israel that imnity can go dn se pe.eople test positive for delta.that makes s data driven. you give a booster or a supplemental shot too soon after the first shot, a lot of siden . >> the fda's expected to fully approve finally the pfizer vaccine next month. what do you think the impact will be? >> you know, i think it's going to be significant the impact. i think there are a number of people who put a stake in the sand saying when that happens, i'm going to require my employees to get a vacation, when that happens, i'm going to go in because i know it's been totally vetted. so the data are clear, and they've been very transparent. six months followup data, looked fantastic in terms of efficacy, how well it works, as well as safety. and so we need that full approval soon. everyone is pushing the fda to really review it with every ounce of power they have. >> of course waiting for kids under 12, as well, in that

brought me to tears. it's about a california boy who. 5-year-old heath harlow has autism, and when he shops with his mom at old navy, he looks for it every time. last month magic the dog wasn't in its normal spot, and heath became upset. if you know anything about autism, when you change things up it can have an impact. a sales associate tracked down magic, returned it to the display, returned the dog to the display, and got heath's family to go and see it. this last friday, old navy surprised heath giving him his own magic dog to take home. >> wow. >> it's really just about understanding the differences out there. instead of seeing a kid having a meltdown and being like get him out of the store, figure on the what's wrong. we need to take that moment. so important to those families. >> go old navy. the employee that noticed that and said, listen, this is something that we can do to help. very easy thing. >> yeah. >> nice. >> a very simple thing. really a wonderful gesture. >> yeah. anthony, what have you got?

my "talk of the table" is about the rolling stones who resume their u.s. tour next month. but one band member will be missing. drummer charlie watts who's 80 years old, says he is taking a break to recover from an unspecified medical procedure. according to "rolling stone" magazine, watts has not missed a gig since joining the band back in 1963. >> wow. >> he said he's listening to doctors who say he needs proper re rest. taking his place on the "no filtered" tour will be the great steve jordan who plays with keith richards and his band expensive winos. i know steve, he's a terrific guy, incredible musician. he's played with clap ton, springsteen, in the john mayer trio, played last year, first-class guy. he's great. steve himself says no one will be happier than me to give up my seat on the drug riser as soon as charlie tells me he is good to go. >> aren't we glad that charlie's listening to his body and his doctor, 80, saying i'm going to sit this one out?

amazing that this will be the first one that he's missed. >> that blew me away. i'm going to switch gears, but it goes back to what you were saying about meghan markle and the ripple effect. nfl star logan ryan won two super bowl titles while playing with the patriots. success that he hopes to replicate in new york with the giants. it's his work off the field where wry an is trying to have an even bigger impact. earlier this year, ryan helped lobby for the george floyd justice in policing act which aims to end racial bias in policing and make department more transparent. while the bill awaits senate vote, ryan wanted to do more. he teamed one his dad to take action. >> if we help that one cop or that one altercation or one civilian get home to their family, prevent one oinincident my hometown, just one, this made a world of difference. >> reporter: for two-time super bowl champion logan ryan, in bergen, new jersey, 100 miles

south of his home with the giants, met life stadium -- >> anything that i wanted to do, my dad was there for me. >> reporter: for help with the project, ryan turned to a man with decades of experience in law enforcement -- >> every crime you've ever investigated, i've investigated. >> reporter: his father, lester, a retired camden police officer and former member of the fbi. >> i'm for the police. i was raised by a police officer. i'm also for the people. i protested for the people. i grew up black, i'm a black father. i've been through some of those stresses and struggles. i feel like we have a unique father/son connection with his ex-peer tease and my platform to sit here and say, man, if i feel like i'm more than a fabplayer, you're more than -- football player, you're more than just a cop. maybe we can make a difference. the techniques i've learned i'm going to put into the program. >> reporter: through their company, ryan solutions, the pair is developing a police training curriculum focusing on minimal force and empathy. >> at some point your distance better be right. >> reporter: we visited the first training session last month where officers and chiefs

from five different departments voluntarily attended. >> you all right? >> reporter: the crux of lester ry ryan's method is based on respect. >> if you are disrespectful to me as a citizen, i'm not supposed to be disrespectful to you. >> reporter: come is easier said than done. >> yes. that's the problem. i have to sit at a higher standard, right. so if you're disrespectful to me, i still will call you sir, and i still will call you ma'am. and i will try to connect to you on some level of empathy. that's all the community wants is to be treated with respect. >> right. >> it's the way you treat people, that's what they're offended at. >> reporter: have either one of you had an experience with a police officer that has been a bad experience? >> i definitely had situations where i felt like i wasn't being talked to respectfully. there was times where i felt like it wanted to go there. growing up black, my dad taught me that i can't control what someone else may do or think of me, but i almost have to be

better. i kind of felt like growing up, getting pulled over i had to be the more mature person in the situation at a young age. >> let me go -- >> reporter: training both ryans say is crucial. logan t football. >> you got keep doing the trainings. >> reporter: muscle memory. >> muscle memory. hundreds of thousands of reps i took to feel comfortable in the most high-pressure situation. why in policing do we not emphasize training? more and more reps, proper reps. when you are in that stressful situation, you do have that bad day, you're in a bad mood at work, you can go relate and perform to your training. >> reporter: we saw today some officers here obviously. i'm sure you'd want more if possible. how do you guys feel? >> i'm extremely encouraged. >> i'm encouraged. >> today was a concept brought to light. >> you can't go everywhere and touch every officer. if you touch one officer, that officer may arrest how many people? if we got the top officers, the chiefs to come, and they can learn a couple methods, they may be able to teach a couple of

their guys. >> reporter: because it's such a big problem. somebody would look at this and say that's like a -- a drop in the water. it's one -- >> one person can do a lot. one drop can send out many ripple necessary a pond that can create a wave. >> reporter: is that the hope here? >> i believe we have to have a national standard of minimum force requirement in this country. >> reporter: father and son know one training session isn't enough. they see this as just the start. >> we would love to be our methodology to be something that has to be taken every year so you can be certified in it. >> reporter: all of the things that you talk about i start to think and that costs money. and there's a movemet now that says defund the police. >> defund the police is not a good idea. you have to redirect the funding so to goes to the proper tr defunding gives the police less teamers to work with, less manpower to work with, therefore that may cause more problems than actually people think it's going to help.

>> the ryans are working on getting their curriculum in front of senator cory booker with their ultimate goal obviously to bring it to that national level. one of the police chiefs whose department attended the first training session says that the concepts here would be effective nationwide, but added that it is hard to enforce a national training standard when the laws in every state are different. i know there's a lot in there. the big thing that stood out is they talked about the training. it's not enough to go to the police academy when you're first getting in the force. the things you learn you need to continually have refreshers, not just go to the gun range and work on your firing of your weapon. you have to work on cuffing people o these techniques that they talk with about over and over. >> i like that logan said, sometimes you have to actually take it to a higher level as aof ven if t personespe you h to behe one profesonal. >>t's something that ryirestrai. >> exactly. >> you have to be put in the situation and understand how to behave and respond. >> and logan also said if it

helps just one person, if is saves one life, it will be worth it. what's the name of their company? >> ryan alternative strategy techniques, r.a.s.t., i believe. logan's going to use his platform this season to try to bring this to light even more, and his father has more trainings scheduled already in the new jersey area. again, like just the start and see where it can go from there. >> i love the two of them together. i love when he said my dad was always there for me. i could always talk to my dad. just seeing that dynamic i think is an important message for people to see. and i don't think it will be hard to get in front of cory booker. you, anthony -- >> they're having some conversations right now. >> yeah. >> yes, it is something he should be looking at. >> glad we got to meet them. still to come, a generous barber is selling the shop he's owned for nearly five decades for just -- listen to this price -- $1. that's a steal. we'll tell you why he's doing that in our "a more perfect union" seri

our series "a more perfect union" aims to show that what unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. this morning, we're introducing you to a longtime hair salon owner who is giving someone else a chance to run his own business. his name is pio imperati. he opened his salon in

connecticut nearly 50 years ago and worked very hard to build up his business. now as nikki battiste shows us, he's selling it all for just $1. nobody cuts hair with scissors anymore -- >> reporter: if you ask his customers, pio imperati is a local legend. >> yes. yes. >> reporter: now 79, his journey in the united states began when he was 20. >> i lost italy, was not an easy task leaving people that you grew up with. the opportunity to make a living, to build up a business like i have, i didn't think i could have done any better. >> reporter: you are the american dream. >> yes, yes. yes. >> reporter: pio cut hair for years before he met and married his wife carol. in 1972, they opened pio of italy hair salon in new haven. after almost 50 years of business, pio surprisingly sold the salon for just $1.

>> i never told anybody that i was going to sell the salon, the equipment, the supply, everything for $1. nobody knew that. actually, to be honest with you, i didn't even know myself. >> reporter: happened in the moment? >> like that, zero. come on. you build this business all these years and now you're going to give it away? i said i know what i'm doing. >> reporter: over the years pio kept his eye out for someone worthy of taking over his salon. that someone was stylist kathy ? >> i bring it up when i interview people. i say someday if are you interested this could be yours. but kathy, she jumped out from the rest of them. she's loyal, honest, she's one of a kind. 15years, and the's called the couple her second parents. what did that conversation look like? >> i was like in shock. like, who does that?

and for this to happen to me, there was a lot of struggles and ups and downs, and -- ooh. >> reporter: it means a lot. >> yeah. ah. for pio to give me something that he built, i don't even know how to describe it. it's amazing. ooh. >> reporter: she met pio at just 18-years-old when no one would hire her right out of technical high school. how is it going? >> horrible. i applied to like five different hair salons, and they were like, oh, no, we're looking for somebody with more experience. nobody wanted to give me that opportunity. and i gave pio a call, and the rest of it's history. they take you in like they're a part of you. like they've knowny forever. >> reporter: though no longer owner, pio continues to work part time.

>> nothing's changed. pio's still here. i'm still here. the bills just come to me now. >> reporter: the salon will keep its name, pio of italy, a man who gave her a chance when no one else would. why did you give kathy your business for essentially nothing? >> because she deserves it. i started from zero, and this country's given me the opportunity. so let's give somebody else an opportunity to make a living and build themselves in life. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," nikki battiste, new haven, connecticut. >> i think pio of italy's in good hands with kathy. don't you? >> i do, too. >> i love the relationship between the two of them. and you got to say -- can't say enough about pio that he looked at her and thought, okay -- >> i think he's got a good deal. he get to keep working and kathy says now the bills go to her.

>> he gets the money coming in. >> you can see why he did that. and you can see why he did that for her. >> yeah. i loved seeing how much it meant to her. that was really sweet. >> me, too. all right. and you can hear more of "cbs this morning" including extended interviews and original content on our "cbs this morning" podcast. we'll be right back.
