presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. >> we thought guy fieri was the inventor. who knew? >> i guess that does border a self-parity when a comedian is making your dish. >> that's right. about those amazon boxes, never complain again. >> i know. it looks like my house on recycling day. i don't want to order anything ever again. we've got stunning political news, and we're going to begin there. new york governor andrew cuomo's decision to resign, stepping down two weeks before legislators can launch impeachment proceedings on multiple cases of alleged wrongdoing. the three-term democrat faced growing pressure to quit after that bombshell report detailing six ral harassment allegations from 11 different women. cuomo insists he did not harass or grope anyone, at least by his definition, and he says he's resigning because it's best for the state of new york. lieutenant governor kathy hochul will now become the state's first female governor. think about that. cuomo announced his resignation
7:04 am
one day after our national correspondent jericka duncan's exclusive interview with one of cuomo's accusers. jericka joins us once again. >> at the height of the pandemic, cuomo was one of the most popular politicians in the country, but his fall from grace has been swift, despite his resignation, he calls the sexual harassment allegations unfair and untrue and believes they are politically motivated. >> the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government get back to governing. >> a somber governor andrew cuomo speak directly to the camera, apologizing if he ever made anyone uncomfortable, but continuing to deny the sexual harassment allegations. >> in my mind, i've never crossed the line with anyone, but i didn't realize the extent to which the line has been
7:05 am
redrawn. >> his resignation came state days after the state attorney general's office released a scathing report documenting sexual harassment allegations from 11 women, one of them a state trooper on his protective detail. he addressed her allegations. >> the trooper also said that in an elevator i touched her back and when i was walking past her in a doorway i touched her stomach. now, i don't recall doing it, but if she said i did it, i believe her. >> among the most serious allegations in the report were from a woman identified as executive assistant number one, brittany commisso. she spoke exclusively to us and albany times union newspaper after the report's release. >> then he put his hand up my blouse and cupped my breast over my bra. >> she told us cuomo also gave her intimate hugs, kissed her on the cheek and once on the lips and touched her bottom.
7:06 am
>> there was a time when between my personal life and this, it was too much. people don't understand. >> lindsey boylan, one of his accusers, reacted to his resignation by tweeting, from the beginning i simply asked that the governor stop his abusive behavior. she thanked those who have pursued the truth. an attorney for accuser charlotte bennett said the governor's decision to resign is not the end of our reckoning with sexual harassment, but it is an important step in the right direction. while the embattled governor will no longer fight to stay in office, he will continue to fight the allegations. his personal attorney, rita glaven. >> this hasn't been and it's not going to be a fair process. in fact, the governor has been given no process. >> we spoke to commisso by text after the governor's resignation and she said she was speechless and found the attorney's press conference that happened before
7:07 am
hand offensive. the governor's legal battle might not be over. he faces possible civil suits and criminal charges, the albany district attorney's office continues to investigate commisso's allegations. and i know when we were sitting here yesterday for the special report, it was shocking, because i think we both were prepared based on the press conference with the attorney for a fight. >> right. >> but instead, he said, you know, he wasn't interested in doing that anymore. >> and to the point, some of the women who have accused him of this misconduct said they felt re-victimized. >> and he may live to fight another day because he says there's a politically motivated report, and although i don't think i did anything wrong, i understand the country has moved in a different direction and mybe the line was withdrawn. jericka, stellar reporting. >> president biden was one of many democrats who said cuomo should resign and was asked about that yesterday. >> how would you assess his ten and a half years as governor of the state?
7:08 am
>> in terms of his personal behavior or what he's done as a governor? >> what he's done as a governor. >> he's done a hell of a job. he's done a hell of a job. and, i mean, both on everything from access to voting, to infrastructure, the whole range of things. that's why it's so sad. >> cbs news senior white house and political correspondent ed o'keefe asked that question and he joins us now. good to see you. so governor cuomo continued to deny wrongdoing even as he announced his resignation. so why step down now? >> while he continues to have this legal fight ahead of him, the political fight was unwinnable. we had learned that while a majority of the assembly was willing to move with impeachment, virtually all of the new york state senate, democrats and republicans, was likely going to vote for his removal. whether that happened in a few weeks or a few months or if the vote had been taken this week. he knew that and he knew, as he said in his statement, as he anounced his resignation, that
7:09 am
it was something that would be dragged out for too long and turn out to be too expensive for the state. but also by removing himself now from the political fray, he may be thinking that it reserves his ability to get back into it one day if he's somehow able to get out from under this legal fight. >> you and i talked about this yesterday on our 24-hour digital network. what happens next? he's got two weeks before he effectively leaves office. >> he's got to transition obviously, now, between when he leaves and he has to prepare for a legal fight. if anything, he's probably going to face civil suits and there are a handful of district attorneys in the state who are reviewing the attorney general's work and trying to sort out whether or not there's going to be a criminal case. so, you know, watch what he does in the next two weeks in terms of getting ready for his successor, does he do anything toher, and know a o alby will tg some other plan, either to help himself or to do something in this two-wek period. >> all right, he will be replaced by lieutenant governor kathy hochul.
7:10 am
it's history in the making. she becomes the first woman, first female governor of the state of new york. what do we know about her? >> not only the first woman, but for someone who is an upstate new york native, all people intrigued by the fact she'll be the first governor not from new york city in about 100 years. she's from buffalo, erie county, and as you said, the first woman, someone who has traveled the state and keeps a pretty aggressive travel schedule. all 62 counties every year. knows a lot of the democratic party insiders and players, but has never been in a position to really run something this large and this important, the state. so she's going to need a lot of help from legislators, who are ready to support her, and we're told that president biden will probably speak with her in the coming days to try to offer his support. but certainly history in the making. and she's going to have to think immediately about next year, if she wants to, if she could be on the ballot to seek a full term. >> quickly before we let you go, when you look at the governor's legacy now, and it is tied to this, it is also the things that
7:11 am
he did, how will people remember his time in office? >> well, there were a lot of things -- obviously the pandemic, we talked to people in albany and across the state, they say he did a masterful job of keeping the state safe and dealing with the situation and serving as atonic to many people, compared to the federal response, especially in the early weeks and months. they credit him for a lot of major infrastructure projects across the state. they're rebuilding laguardia airport and he tried to buck up the economy. but you take his behavior in this situation, his alleged behavior, plus a host of scandals over the last several years, and they said it was time to hold him accountable. >> ed, thank you very much. now to florida, where many kids went back to school yesterday, despite skyrocketing covid numbers. cases among children and teenagers are up nearly 400% in the state from this time last year. 400%. the state's second largest school district is now defying the governor's ban on mask mandates and requiring all students and teachers to mask
7:12 am
up. we have more from miami. >> i try to encourage everybody to please take this delta variant very seriously. it is incredibly contagious and our children are getting sick. i can't do this. ro pia myers got emotional as they recorded a video for the miami-dade. they lead the pediatric hospitalizations with more than 300 reported in the last week. children now account for nearly 15% of all new infections nationwide. that's why the american academy of pediatrics is pushing the fda to approve the vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11. dr. maldonado is the organization's chair of infectious diseases. >> do you fear what will happen in florida as school begins? >> we see what's already happening in florida and we don't want that to happen in schools. >> reporter: protests erupted on both sides in florida after the governor banned schools from
7:13 am
requiring masks, and even threatened the salaries of superintendents and school board members who defied him. >> my view is, it's a parent's decision. if you believe in the masking during the school, you're free to do it. >> reporter: but that didn't stop broward county, the state's second largest district to require masks. >> i can die if people do not have their masks on. >> i don't feel comfortable with my son having to go into school and having to wear a mask the entire day, five days a week. >> our educators in the state of florida, they are going to be there for the kids as they have always done. >> reporter: andrew spar is president of the florida education association. for him it's personal. his wife is a public schoolteacher and his youngest daughter is entering seventh grade. >> i'm concerned about my daughter, who is vaccinated and o e not vnand areeariir mask, a wo me sure that is sa. se
7:14 am
s w it comes to vaccinations across the country. according to the cdc, the pace of first doses is nearly double what it was 30 days ago. tony? >> could be a lesson learned there. manny, thank you very much. breaking overnight, hours after passing a major infrastructure bill with bipartisan support, the senate took another big step to push through president biden's agenda. it narrowly approved a $3.5 trillion blueprint for family, health and environmental programs. much of that would be paid for with higher taxes on wealthy americans and corporations. cl chris van clean is on capitol hill. what's next? >> now they have to take this framework and turn it into an actual bill. what's inside the bill is going to be crucial to passing the budget act and also the infrastructure bill they agreed on yesterday. if they manage to do that, they wll deliver on many of president biden's promises, but the road ahead could be rough
7:15 am
and long. >> the yeas are 50, the nays are 49, and the concurrent resolution as amended is agreed to. >> reporter: this morning, the senate approved a $3.5 trillion budget resolution, setting the framework for a massive budget bill, loaded with progressive social programs, including kachd and senior care and money to combat climate change. the 50-49 party line vote came an overnight vote-a-rama on amendments. >> this amendment is just plain antipi anti-pickup truck. >> is a vote in support of defunding the police. >> some senators expressed kpas er separation at the procedure. >> earlier bipartisan briefly reigned as the senate passed a
7:16 am
$1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. >> on this vote, the yeas are 69. >> reporter: 19 gop senators joined democrats in voting to rebuild the nation's highways, bridges, public transit skmand expand access to broadband. >> we're on the cusp of an infrastructure decade that i truly believe will transform america. >> reporter: tennessee's bill hagerty voted no. >> i think what it reveals is the strategy deployed by the majority leader. he wanted to put the patina bipartisan on it and create a series of momentum toward this spending spree that's going to be a debt bomb for america. >> reporter: the infrastructure measure heads to the house, but speaker nancy pelosi won't allow a vote until the senate passes that $3.5 trillion budget bill. >> the total vision is about not only building physical infrastructure, but building human infrastructure. >> reporter: and now speaker
7:17 am
pelosi plans to call the house back from recess early. they are expected to be back here august 23rd. that's about a month early, where they will take up the house version of that budget resolution and possibly voting rights. vlad? >> kris van cleave coming from the hill. we appreciate it. as u.s. troops complete their withdraw from afghanistan, there's a grim new warning about the taliban advance. intelligence estimates predict the afghan government could collapse in as little as 90 days. charlie d'agata was there. good morning. how serious with the latest setbacks? >> when i spoke with general scott miller on the trip who was then in charge of u.s. and nato forces i asked him what his biggest concern for afghanistan was and he told me the capitals are falling one after another. and in the past week that's exactly what's happened. in scenes reminiscent of the isis rampage, taliban militants
7:18 am
overrunning town after town, capturing equipment as they go. for 20 years america and its allies have been supplying and training the afghan military and they're collapsing within a matter of days. but the taliban have become battle-hardened discipline warriors and they've had the cities surrounded for weeks and even though afghan forces outnumber the tal beiban by six one, afghan commandos are about the only serious fighting force but they're stretched way too thin. the afghan air force is now made up of a number of small aircraft and helicopters and they usually arrive after the fight is over. the white house is hoping that the taliban's desire for international legitimacy might curb the worst abuses but the taliban have shown zero interest in a diplomatic solution. >> hard to forget what you just said there, decades in order to take those cities in just days.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." a recent studywsebt medical care has skyrocketed in the united states more than half of all the bills in collection right now are medical bills. that means debt collectors are gotten involved. our consumer investigative correspondent anna werner has been looking into this and joins us now. what have you learned so far? >> well dana a lot actually. think because you have a job you won't wind up in bankruptcy or facing a lifetime of medical debt payments? you might, as the stories of two americans illustrate so well. florida resident chad kish's medical debt story began with severe pain from herniated discs in his next last year. >> i really couldn't get out of bed for more than a few minutes.

>> reporter: doctors told the 39 year old who runs his own small pest control business that he would need surgery. so he checked to make sure his insurance would cover it, then went ahead. >> the pain was excruciating. that is probably the most p ve facilitate charge he says the insurance company refused to pay. $145,000. he says the hospital then demanded payments of 1500 dollars a month. >> i told'em that can't happen. can we go with something lower. and they said no. so i just stopped appsing their calls. >> reporter: when he couldn't pay, the hospital sued him. >> it is just one of those things that hits you in the gut. and you are like oh boy. now what do i do? and why is it happening to me. >> reporter: he's not alone. a new jama study finds medical bills are the largest source of american debt. with a record 140 billion dollars in collections owed last year. nearly twice the previous e

[truck horn blares] (vo) the subaru forester. dog tested. dog approved. more than 7500 people have been hospitalized or died from the virus after being fully vacced. but those so called breakthrough infections are a tiny fraction of the nearly 167 million who are fully vaccinated. dr. david agus joins us from los
7:49 am
angeles. good morning to you. let's talk about this term "breakthrough." we just heard the numbers. what do people need to take away from the concept of a breakout covid case? >> good morning, typoony and welcome back. what a breakthrough is is you test positive after the vaccine. that 7500 number is misleading because most of them had immune defishes or couldn't respond to a vaccine or other medical issues. the bottom line is most people exposed to covid after the vaccination will not be symptomatic. and if they are, it is predominantly the upper respiratory tract, not the lower. the vaccines are really remarkable at blocking symptoms in the lower respiratory tract. by the way lower respiratory infections in the lung are what get you hospitalized or make you
7:50 am
short of breath. the vaccines block breakthrough transmission. dramatic decrease. you can transmit but it is a much lower rate. so the vaccines work even though there are mild breakthroughs. >> for the roughly half the country that is yet to be vaccinated, among that population, about 3 in 10 say they are waiting for that full fda approval. right now there is a emergency use only. when do you think that might come? what are you hearing? and how big of a difference could it make? >> i do think it is going make a difference for a couple of reasons. it probably will come in the next 2-3 weeks. beginning of september is kind of the inside track of when we think it is going to happen. why it really matters is when something has full approval a doctor can use it for whatever ho he or e ays the booster shots are --. a doctor can say with a full fda approved vaccine i want my patient who is 90 years old to have it. or 7 years old to have it.
7:51 am
i do think it will take a lot of people who are unvaccinated now get in line. and it may significantly change how we use boosters in the country. >> a messy situation with kids back to school and pediatric cases are on the rise, what concerns you most about that dynamic? >> what concerns me most is that the decisions are being made by politicians and not pediatricians. and i get so many parents who send me notes every day, what do i do? my politician says you can't wear masks in school. and that is just not right. so with the delta variant now which we know can hospitalize kids -- and icus are getting full across many areas of the country, is we have to wear masks when numbers are high. and by the way, the numbers are going to come down. probably mid to end september we're going to is see a significant decrease in delta so we'll be aware from masks. so it is not for the entire school year. but for the weeks it is there i want to protect every kid we can in the country. as the pediatricians are recommending, not what the politicians are saying. >> and one of the more
7:52 am
remarkable things about this moment here in the country is we're talking about getting americans the first shot and then the second but this friday a panel of outside experts at the cdc will be convening to talk about a third shot, potential boosters for some americans. dr. david agus, thank you very much. appreciate you being on. ahead and first on "cbs this morning," team usa water polo star ashleigh johnson will be here fresh of her gold medal performance in tokyo. she's the goalie. she stopped nearly everything. teems took away tham usa took a.

start me up on this we start me up on this wednesday, august 11, 2021. i'm tony dokoupil with dana jacobson. andrew cuomo resigns after a barrage of sexual harassment allegations. how it unfolded and what's next. >> first on "cbs this morning," ashleigh johnson, fresh off another gold-medal win with team usa water polo. how she's a standard-bearer for can vaccine hesitancy is dividing the country, including friends and family. dr. sue will tell us how to talk to people who doubt the science. but first here's today's eye opener at 8:00.
8:01 am
governor cuomo stepping down after the bombshell report detailing sexual harassment from 11 women. >> at the height, cuomo was one of the most popular politicians but his fall from grace had been swift. >> virtually all of the senate was likely to vote for his remova cases among kids and children are up 384%, where kids went back to school yesterday. it's going to be crucial, passing, not only the budget act. it's go took be a debt bomb. >> taliban militant said have been overrunning town after town and they're capturing equipment as they go. >> a lot of schools are requiring proof of vaccination. if you're unvaccinated, i have a hot hook up for a place that's giving out vaccine cards for free.
8:02 am
all you got to do is get a little poke in your arm, then come back in three weeks, do it again, you get a card that looks exactly like the real thing. try it. it's geeked. >> it is pretty neat. by the way, if people are wondering did i forget what time it is? i did. i have a newborn at home. >> you get dad brain, right? >> 100%. the whole world saw it too. it's okay. i'll sleep tonight. governor andrew cuomo will step down in two weeks ime. but the investigation into his conduct in office will continue. after a report found he sexually harassed 11 different women. he had enjoyed widespread popularity last year for his response to one of the worst covid outbreaks in new york state. last night he apologized for
8:03 am
offending the women who came forered but still denied groping anyone. >> the most serious allegations against me have no credible, factual basis in the report. and there is a difference between alleged improper conduct and concluding sexual harassment. >> cuomo's resignation opens the way for new york's first female governor, cathy hokal. she's been lieutenant governor since 2015 and one issue on her agenda will be containing the spread of the delta variant. blamed for a recent jump in hospitalizations and deaths in new york. only 58.8% of people 12 and older in the u.s. are fully vaccinated. for some, that's led to difficult conversations with vaccine hesitant friends and family. here are some ideas to navigate difficult conversations.
8:04 am
so good to see you this morning and i'm so happy we're having a conversation about this. what would be your advice for people to understand the best way to approach having a conversation with a friend, a family or loved one? >> great to see you and join you on this topic. it's so important that we have a sort of open mind, neutral stance and compassionate and empathic outlook. that may seem the farthest thing from our mind because we're angry. we want to move forward with our lives. this is not safe. we call them the three cs of vaccine hesitancy. is the person you're talking to feeling complacent? they may say i don't have a risk of getting the virus or getting sick from it. if we look at the unvaccinated folks, 29% think all they're not at risk for getting covid, as compared to 17% of vaccinated people. that means they estimate the risk to them as being lower, the
8:05 am
unvaccinated group. the second question is count innocence. do they feel safe? and lastly, convenience. do they think they're go tag get sick? have side effects? when we look at who the vaccinated, unvaccinated population is, a lot of them happen to be uninsured. and we're talking about people who might be -- don't have facility, don't have access to health care, don't have trust in the health care system. so, that's important for us to understand the context in which the person is refusing a vaccine. here's another thing. low vaccine hesitancy doesn't necessarily mean acceptance. we want to push them in that direction with credible information. >> the three cess of vaccine hesitancy and they might add a fourth c, that ends in a "y." you might know what that is. and they bought into theories or
8:06 am
ideas that are completely false online. how do you have a conversation with somebody where you correct them or give them the best available science? >> stuch great question and congrats on the newborn. a lot of times we're butting heads with people when we keep throwing facts in science, which is great. and there are some people who can work with you on that. and some people in that i don't know. let me feel safe, get me a good health care provider to give me the vaccine. those people might be more amenable. but if you're firmly rooted and have been for years, thoolts going to tell you you'r th aut personal s, tell them you love them. but what you want to do is not alienate them. we're going to alienate peep when we keep pushing facts and
8:07 am
science, which are great, for some people who can handle it but they're going to get defensive and push you away. so, stick with the personal stories and tell them how it makes you feel, how afraid you are for their life, how you are afraid of the people around them who might get sick from them. >> in some cases you can tell, as you get closer, you're not going to reach the same conclusion or change somebody's mind. is it okay if you cut ties with people over this, as we've heard some people doing? >> absolutely. a good question because it's not a one-size-fits all approach. there may be a loved one who needs you for a variety of reasons and they're unvaccinated. for example, you may not want to invite them to an indoor gathering but be willing to meet them outdoors or talk to them on the phone. keep that line of communication open.our al healt bim. pe sayth
8:08 am
anymore. i know a lot of people who are health care providers deciding not to get the vaccine, despite taking care of very sick patients with covid. so, keeping the line of communicationow isolation crea miscommunication. we don't want them to go down rab rabbit holes of conspiracy theories. >> thank loud ♪

8:16 am
like a representation of this whole journey. it is so beautiful and it means so much to me. but it is, like all of the hard work of the past five years, of the previous fours,hat goes into building that medal. and like a figurative sense. that really, really is what we're going to hold on to. and this just represents all of that. >> it is so interesting to say the past five years. instead of the past four years. you went through this grieving process you say after the olympics were delayed. what was it like with that extra year you had to stay fit for? >> yeah. there were a lot of -- it was hard to adjust. it was hard. like you said, there was a grieving, the loss of the olympics. we didn't know. there was so much urgency over where the olympics would actually even happen and then there was kind of like a resurge of ey because we hndtinatintand olympics. so within our team there was a
8:17 am
lot of growth. lot of new energy. and just everyone kind of came together to support each other and take on a new role within the team, which was so cool to see. >> i think, i started is even longer than that. this goes back to childhood. i was joking with you about on the swim team. water polo was our day off on friday and that is how some fall in love with it. but this is something you have worked towards your hole life. >> and yyeah and i didn't have the typical journey. i didn't have have the stream when i was younger. partly because i didn't have a role model in the sport. and lot of people they set that dream early and pursue it. celebrating that with them. celebrating my also olympic dream coming through. it means the world. >> you quantwant to change that. when you say you didn't see somebody who looked like you. the as very white sport.
8:18 am
swimming even more so. how are you try tong change that. >> the first thing i a had to do to change that and to realize my role in it was to you saidundere context of exclusion and inclusion in aquatic spaces for people of color and just understand why there weren't more people who look like me in the sport in aquatics in general. and then i realized that it is a huge responsibility. but it is a responsibility that i have the opportunity to welcome. and that i could welcome by literally just being here. i could just be a mirror that a young black birl girl or young black boy would look to and see themselves in and i realized how powerful that could be for someone coming into our sport. and maybe has heard the stereotype that black people don't swim, or looked and didn't see anyone who didn't look like them and just kind of got discouraged. so it is part of my mission to change that. >> it is definitely inspiring. i think we also need to talk about how difficult water polo.
8:19 am
is may have been a break day for swimmers only because swimming is a boring -- >> a break from if back and forth. >> in the pictures you are in the pool and, like y stding oolid gund with your as in the air or diving but of course you are not. you are treading water the whole time. how do you stay -- how do you get in shape and stay in shape for that. rising out of the water to -- you know. >> core strength right. >> it is full body strength. i always talk about how water polo isn't just what you see. like, we look really calm from hear up. but we're constantly working under water. takes lot of leg strength, lot of arms. i push with my hands and to a huge breast stroke kick to lunge to block the ball. but also as a game it requires a lot of intelligence. constantly making reads and communicating to defense what's open, i'm manipulating a lot of different things in the water, including my own body to try to make that stop, to try to make a
8:20 am
pass, to, like, stop the other team from scoring and it is just such a fun game. and you do have to be very strong. >> let me ask you about your journey, how you got to be an olympian. you talked about being a catalyst for change for young black boys and girls going forward, but what was it like for you when you first stepped into the pool? >> i stepped into the pool, and my journey with aquatics with water polo has always been about fun. i didn't love swimming. >> boring sometimes. really is. sorry. >> little bit boring. i was like singing in hi head. okay. against the wall. flip turn. but yeah. my family was there and my social life there and i just had fun with it and i continue to have fun with it to this day and that is why i can stay here so long. but i grew up in a family of five children. we had a pool in our backyard, learned to swim from a jamaican olympian, which i wasn't aware of when i was young but -- >> you didn't know they were an olympian. >> i didn't know that.
8:21 am
it was amazing. like looking back at the whole journey now. but we learned to swim together and just grew so much together in the sport that i really highly recommend -- >> so you had -- you didn't -- you had blockers on. when you would show up at the pool and you were the only person of color there, that didn't phase you. >> that didn't phase me because i grew up with my siblings in the sport and we had a lot of support within our club team growing up. when i left in high school, like going to national team, go going to college, i became more and more aware of other people's perception of me and whether or not i should be there. but i was already developing like the protective mechanisms, you know, the things that i told myself about myself the stories i had about myself that i knew didn't confirm those stories. like you probably shouldn't be switch swimming. what about your hair? what about all these things? and i hope that manager being here kind of breaks through those stories that other people tell young black kids in
8:22 am
aquatics about themselves, so they don't even have to doubt. they don't even question whether or not they belong here. because we belong here. we're strong. we excel in aquatics. and there is so much opportunity. >> you more than excel. real quickly, i know. you just finished an olympics. but will there be potentially a third gold medal for you? another olympics for you? >> i don't want to -- there is always potential. there is always the journey. but if anything, ive learned in the past year and a half, it is that you can't predict what's gonna happen. you can't -- i can't say where i'm going to be in three years. but i hope it is at the top of the podium again. and i hope it is with this team. >> lot of potential on that side of the table. on this side of the table? >> not so much. >> cleheering you on. be right back, you are ation watching "cbs this morning."

8:31 am
champions league title but he volunteered to take a 50% pay cut to stay with barcelona because it is a team he'd been with since he was a kid playing with them. the club couldn't keep him because of financial rules and they are in very bad financial shape. you think about it here, that doesn't always happen. they couldn't cut inform players and make it work. tom brady says i'm playing for nothing. wouldn't the patriots have kept him? i don't know. but it was that kind of thing. and when i tell you, the fan appeal around it. the way people followed it. crowds screaming for him. i just feel like i've never seen anything like this in u.s. sport so that is what fascinated me. >> i look at cuomo resignation and look at twitter and wait. a psg twitter account posted something a little weird. and i was like no, no, and boom it happened. >> i don't know how to explain what this is like for people
8:32 am
that don't follow it. other than like when tom brady left to play for the bucs but it is not even the same. people in boston were like okay yeah, go have fun. this was tearful. it didn't make sense. >> volunteered to take a pay cut and he was bought out anyway. does hi new team know -- they are a little like the yankees. a friend immediately tweeted me as if they needed him. because they have so much money and such high caliber talent. >> and he's reunited with guys he's played with before and and it will be interesting to watch. what do you have? >> my talk of the table is about a once in a lifetime trip where you can experience one of hollywood's most famous secret agents. you don't got to spend money to go to space with basis or branson because glow kyou know name. >> i admire your luck, mr.? >> bond. james bond. >> you can live out your james
