up next. have a wonderful thursday. good morning to you. it's thursday, august good morning to you. it's thursday, august 19th, 2021. i'm gayle king. that's anthony mason. that's tony dokoupil. welcome to "cbs this morning." let's go with today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> reporter: president biden officially laid out plans for booster shots. >> new details on the rollout of those vaccine boosters. we'll speak with the head of the cdc. >> reporter: how many boosters do you think people are going to need? >> we don't anticipate beyond this we're going to need anything else. >> reporter: the president said he is committed to keeping u.s. troops in afghanistan until every american is evacuated. >> have not gotten out without chaos ensuing. i don't know through happens. >> reporter: the caldor fire in california is tearing through communities prompting a slew of new evacuations.

>> everything that we own, everything that we've built is gone. in our exclusive interview, mark zuckerberg talks misinformation and his plan for a virtual workplace. >> it reminds me when we first heard about the internet. what is it, www what? >> i think of the meta-verse as the next generation of the internet. >> reporter: dozens are missing in north carolina after tropical storm fred washed down bridges and inundated homes. all that -- >> freddie freeman reached base with a single, double, triple -- >> gone! the cycle for freddie freeman. >> reporter: mindy kaling joins us to talk about her project to help support women first on "cbs this morning." >> i left a funeral to be by your side after nick jonas married an indian woman that wasn't you. >> that was very hard on me. on "cbs this morning." >> according to a study,

contrary to conventional wisdom, please tab limp doesn't slow down -- metabolism doesn't slow down in middle age. due to research by a renowned middle-aged talk show host, yes, it does. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. >> i'm so with you, stephen colbert. >> i second that emotion. >> i know. when i heard that metabolism story i went, oh, darn. come up with another excuse. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with what we're learning about the plan to give covid booster shots to most americans. if you're asking why now, take a look at the numbers. in the entire month of june, we had just over 400,000 new covid cases in this country according to the cdc. so far in just 2.5 weeks into august, we're nearing two million new cases. that's a lot. hospitalizations from the virus are at the highest level since early february. there is a lot of suffering in this country as the delta variant infects more people. weijia jiang is at the white house with more on the story. good morning to you.

we keep hearing these numbers are largely driven by unvaccinated americans. so how does the president plan to roll out the boosters for those who have gotten vaccine shots? >> reporter: good morning, everyone. the first boosters would go to people in high-priority groups like health care workers and those who have underlying medical conditions. but health officials say eventually everybody should get another dose, citing data from other countries like israel that shows the vaccines' ability to fight off the virus goes down over time. >> it will make you safer and for longer. and it will help us end the pandemic faster. >> reporter: the cdc is recommending a third shot of the pfizer or moderna vaccine eight months after people get their second shot. those who received a johnson & johnson vaccine will likely need another dose, too, but health officials are waiting for more data. the boosters may be available as early as next month pending fda authorize.

>> you don't want to find yourself behind, playing catchup. >> reporter: infectious disease expert, dr. celine gounder, a former adviser to the biden administration, is not convinced a booster shot is the answer. >> we really don't think that there's an indication to change recommendations about extra doses until we see evidence that there is an increased risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death due to waning immunity or perhaps the emergence of new variants. >> reporter: she said the best way to boost protections with measures like masking and gathering with others outside and getting more people vaccinated. the president also announced the government would require nursing homes that receive federal funds to mandate vaccinations for staffers and that he's directed the secretary of education to use oversight authority and legal action against governors who have banned mask mandates in public schools.

>> i've said before this isn't about politics, it's about keeping our children safe. it's about taking on the virus together united. >> reporter: the advocacy group families for better care are warning that that vaccine mandate for nursing homes could end up hurting patients if facilities are unable to achieve the mandate and end up having to shut down. and top scientists at the world health organization are criticizing president biden for preparing to give americans a third dose of the vaccine when some people in poor countries can't even get one. but the white house says they have donated 115 million doses to 80 nations, and they vow to keep helping. anthony? >> thank you. we're joined by the cdc director, dr. rochelle walensky. doctor, good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> just last month the cdc and the fda both said we would not be need booster shots.

what specifically has changed in the data that has changed your guidance? >> right. several things. first, in the last six weeks we have seen delta in this country. we've seen an increased number of cases. we now have over 98% of our circulating virus be delta. just in the last week, we have started to see evidence from numerous cohorts, published yesterday, several different studies in different populations that have started to show waning of vaccine effectiveness against infection, not necessarily against severe disease yet, but against infection. and so in our process to stay ahead of the this virus, we're starting to see an infection, we're concerned we will see it in severe disease, and we're planning ahead to stay ahead. >> all right. as we just heard in weijia jiang's report, dr. celine gounder, who was on the white house covid advisory task force, disagrees. what do you say to her? >> we have several studies that

have demonstrated waning effectiveness in ten million people in new york state and 80,000 people in the mayo clinic, and as well in the delta variant in health care workers. we've also been in collaboration and discussions with our international colleagues, and they are starting to see worsening of presentation of worsening infection in the context of their breakthroughs. our plan is to get ahead of that. we don't want to start to see that in this country which is why we're planning now for late september after we hear from the fda and the advisory committee on immunization practices to be able to boost. >> how soon do you think the fda's going to act on this? >> we're planning for late september, and we've been in discussions with the fda and with acip. and we think that's a very reasonable timeline and a timeline that's reasonable to protect americans who have have been protected against severe disease. >> if you've had the shot, the vaccination eight months out. you be able to get a booster in

september? >> that's the vision and the plan. that's exactly what we're planning for right now. we have enough vaccine here to be able to boost, but also i want to emphasize for the 100 million americans who have not yet been vaccinated, we will have enough vaccine for you. please go get vaccinated because today you remain at risk of severe disease. >> doctor, do you have a sense of when the data will be in on the johnson & johnson vaccine and whether those people who got that vaccine will also need a booster? >> we anticipate the people who got johnson & johnson will also need a booster. i want to remind people that we started using johnson & johnson more than two months after our mrna vaccines. so we're getting more information. that information is a little bit delayed because we started using it a little bit later. >> do you also anticipate at the least cannot rule out at this stage that we could end up getting an annual booster shot, much like the flu shot? >> you know, this virus has been humbling, so i don't want to say

never. we are not necessarily anticipating that you will need this annually. it does look like after this third dose you get a really robust response, and so we will continue to follow the science both on the vaccine side but also on the virus side. >> all right, that's certainly a little bit of good news there possibly at the end. dr. walensky, we appreciate you being on. thank you so much. in eastern afghanistan this morning, a protest against the taliban takeover ended with a report of several people killed after taliban gunfire led to a stampede. conditions at the country's main airport are still desperate with thousands waiting, hoping to get out. roxana saberi was in kabul when the taliban seized power, and she's now in doha, qatar. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. president biden said in an interview u.s. troops will stay in afghanistan until they get every american citizen out, even if that means missing an august 31st deadline set with the taliban.

some afghan allies fear they'll be left behind. [ gunfire ] chaos continues to dominate today outside kabul's airport. afghans tried desperately to flee their country. they have to get through checkpoint after checkpoint manned by taliban fighters. some firing shots and beating people back. then they face u.s. troops and barbed wire. for now the runways are clear of civilians, and military transport planes have airlifted out around 5,000 people, mostly u.s. citizens and afghans who once worked for the u.s. with around 60,000 to 80,000 left, by president biden's count, defense secretary lloyd austin acknowledged evacuations aren't moving fast enough. >> it's obvious we're not close to where we want to be in terms of getting the numbers through. >> the military flights are first come, first serve --

>> reporter: afghan american zohal abdul rahman says her brother-in-law, who just got a u.s. visa, was heading to kabul airport today when she lost contact. >> we're really anxious to get him out of there as soon as we possibly can. >> reporter: president biden told abc news all this chaos was not the result of bad planning. >> the idea that somehow there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, i don't know how that happens. i don't know how that happened. >> so for you that was always in the decision? >> yes. >> i think they should have moved fast enough to begin with right when president biden announced that the u.s. was leaving. >> reporter: the u.s. will soon have 6,000 combat troops on the ground to help with evacuations. they're needed to defend the airport and keep it running, not to pick up stranded americans or vulnerable afghans. when are you going to sleep soundly again? >> until the taliban are out of afghanistan for good, forever,

and god knows when that's going to be. >> reporter: cbs news has learned the u.s. mission in kabul is getting reports that the taliban are blocking some afghans with u.s. visas from getting to the airport. and the u.s. plans to open an additional gate there to get more eligible evacuees in faster. gayle? >> the more you hear, the worse it is. thank you so much, roxana saberi reporting from qatar. glad she's okay. more than 30,000 people are under evacuation orders in northern california as a string of destructive wildfires continues to rage out of control. the caldor fire burning in el dorado county has burned more than 62,000 acres. it is 0% contained. that's zero. jonathan vigliotti is near the fires in pollock pines. >> reporter: the caldor fire is producing more smoke than flame this morning as it burns in largely remote areas. there are thousands of crews fighting several fires here in northern california, but with more than a dozen fires burning across the state, it's not nearly enough.

gusty winds, dry conditions, and record drought are making for dangerous fire weather in northern california. this is all that's left of grizzly flats after the caldor fire tore through the area. the small town last a post office and dozens of homes including one that belonged to derek chaves. >> it was a beautiful, close, small, vibrant community. it's nothing now. >> reporter: all that remains of walter tyler elementary is a sign and a charred playground. the school burning to ground on what was supposed to be back-to-school night. >> it is incredibly devastating because it's such a loss of something that is so near and dear to so many people. and not just a building. >> reporter: there is only one long and narrow road into grizzly flats. and what's incredible tonight, it appears everyone managed to make it out of this destruction alive. the survivors now join a growing

group of people across the state who have no home, no town to return to. as the wildfires intensify, officials are stressing the impact of climate change. >> our climate-driven conditions are altering the environment and are making these fires move faster and make them more complex and ultimately more dangerous. >> reporter: take the dixie fire. officials believe the massive blaze is the first ever to burn clear across the sierra-nevada mountains. >> fire has been burning for approximately 35 days. it is exceedingly resistant to control. >> reporter: even the latest in technology can't keep up. cal fire recently spent hundreds of millions of dollars on new helicopters capable of performing tricky nighttime aerial drops. with thick smoke, they were grounded overnight.

>> thank you, burning for 35 days. more earthquake aftershocks hit haiti overnight while the death toll there rose to more than 2,000. officials say more than half a million survivors need help, and some say it's not moving fast enough. vlad duthiers shows us how haitians are helping each other in one of the hardest hit areas. >> reporter: we're here at this hospital, the united states coast guard is also here. they've rescued numerous victims and have brought in thousands of pounds of supplies to the affected areas. across haiti, hospitals are overwhelmed. doctors are struggling to treat thousands of earthquake victims as even more trickle in from remote areas in search of medical care five days after the quake. you can see the hospital is full. patients are overflowing, and they've been put outside because all the rooms are filled. some of these patients being treated outside are babies and young children. concrete fell on his leg in the earthquake.

those who are more seriously injured and need critical attention are flown to the capital, port-au-prince. tens of thousands of people lost their homes in the quake, and now they're having to wait even longer to get food, clean water, and a place to stay because of tropical storm grace. while they wait, haitians are stepping up to help each other. in this kitchen, we saw locals like colette denis making thousands of meals to deliver to people. some who have not eaten a hot meal in days. >> we know they are hungry. they are really hungry. they lost their houses, they lost everything. so for sure that's the most important thing for them right now, it's to eat, to stay alive. >> reporter: humanitarian missions will resume from here this morning. the most seriously injured victims are flown from the impacted areas while supplies go out to survivors. but for comparison, the death toll on day five of the 2010 earthquake was estimated at up to 200,000.

the death toll from saturday is approximately 2,000. >> the numbers sound better -- you know, i affectionately call you the haitian sensation because you know this country very well. you have haitian roots. but i wonder what this is like for you covering this country that you know so well and the people so well. you're doing an amazing job. i wonder how it feels and what it's like for you. >> reporter: you know, it's often tragic that i'm finding myself here in haiti, gayle. but one thing that i want people to remember, there are some people who asked on social media, wow, vlad, is haiti cursed? and i reply back, no. in fact, haiti is a miracle. haiti is a modern miracle. the first independent black nation in the western hemisphere. slaves brought here in shackles threw off those chains to create defeat a superpower and granted opportunity toland. that is what they're most proud of. another mountain to climb and climb it they will.

>> and then there's another mountain. >> on other side of the mountain -- >> reporter: that, too. >> they will climb that, too. vlad duthiers, thank you so much. please be careful. can't wait to see you. ahead, our interview with facebook's mark zuckerberg. you'll want to hear what he has to say about his company's efforts to stop the spread of vaccine misinformation. first, 7:18. time to check your local weather. ♪

>> will you lose your job if you're not vaccinated? >> well, we're going to allow people to work remotely. i also think that there are some health exemptions. overall, we want to make sure that our employee population, especially the people in the office, in the open floor plan that we have, are both safe themselves and contributing to a safe community. >> how are you guys, mark, going to manage it? you know, we've seen the honor system does not work. >> i think that this is an important question. and with our employee base, we do require that our employees are honest with us. if they lie to the company about any number of things, then, you know, that can cause serious issues, and we terminate people for that. but i don't know that there's any bulletproof solution to this. >> i want to talk to you about covid misinformation on your platform. that's a really big topic these

days. i want to know specifically what you and your team are doing to fight against it. >> sure. this is a very important topic, and, you know, facebook is taking -- i think it's been an unprecedented effort to help encourage people to get vaccinated, to promote authoritative information about covid and the vaccines, and to fight and take down misinformation. so, you know, millions of people have taken their first step to getting their vaccine through a vaccine-finder tool that we've built. at the top of facebook and instagram, we've put over the last year basically links to this coronavirus information hub sharing authoritative information from government officials as well as trusted communities leaders. billions of people have visited it. in terms of fighting misinformation, we've taken down more than 18 million pieces of misinformation. >> you know, the numbers you talk about are good -- i think everybody agrees that facebook has done a lot to combat misinformation. but we still don't know how much misinformation has been sherrod your platform.

how many people have viewed it, how many people have acted upon that. facebook seems very reluctant to share those numbers. how come? >> well, i think to some degree there are also different definitions that people have over what misinformation is. what a lot of the stuff that's actually the hardest for us to really address is not what i would call misinformation, but instead another category that i would call hesitancy. when you were first thinking about getting your vaccine, you probably had questions around, you know, which vaccine is the most effective for you and your family. and in some of these times when people ask these questions or is it safe yet, should i wait a while, that's not misinformation. but it's -- it's certainly, you know, contributing to an environment where people are asking questions about the safety of vaccines. i don't think we should ban it. but i -- i do think that that's a big part of the discourse at this point. and certainly causes people to ask questions about whether they want to get vaccinated.

from a public health perspective, it may not be the most positive thing. >> i think, mark, it's more than hesitancy discourse. there have been things that are just blatantly not true. recent studies by northwestern and harvard say those who are most reliant on facebook for information have substantially lower vaccination rates than those who rely on other sources. does that surprise you? >> there are people who share misinformation, and that's why i said that we took down and have taken down more than 18 million pieces of harmful misinformation about this. so if you look around the world this different countries, right, different countries i think are doing better and worse on getting their citizens vaccinated. and you know, the u.s. i think has a specific issue on this. people use facebook and social media all across the world. so if this were primarily a question about social media, then i think you would see that being the effect in all those countries where people use it. i think there's something unique in our ecosystem here, whether it's some of the political

leaders and -- or some of the media figures that i think is different than what we're seeing across a lot of europe or across a lot of other countries that are leading to higher levels of this. so i don't think pinning this on social media primarily is -- is accurate. >> since our interview with mark zuckerberg, facebook released new numbers on misinformation. in its second-quarter community standards enforcement report. now they say more than 20 million pieces of covid-19 misinformation have been removed since the start of this pandemic, through june. in our next hour, we'll talk to mark zuckerberg. he will show us how virtual reality could transform the way we work remotely. >> that a virtual you? >> a virtual me and mark. why he agreed to do the interview, by the way. i give him credit for saying, look, i want to talk about this. you can -- you can talk about anything, and you know, i will answer the questions as best as i can. >> yeah. >> he didn't sit down to talk about misinformation. but it is still an issue. >> you know, they're kind of related. the virtual office may be what

we go to if misinformation on vaccines means the virus continues to spread. >> just that study from harvard and northwestern -- >> interesting -- >> i think that's very interesting that the people who rely on facebook are less vaccinated than other people. it's a very small group of people that are putting out the misinformation. it's getting out. i think it's frustrating that facebook doesn't really give the numbers on that. >> yeah. >> you know, there's such a -- they're such a huge company, so talented, so smart. it seems like we could get that number -- >> it is a very old problem, right. misinformation can travel around the world by the time truth puts on its pants. >> yes. >> yep. coming up, why a man convicted of murdering an elderly couple in 2013 and sentenced to 52 years to life could be released next year. we'll be right back. when our doors open we see the light shining, through you because you are a spark from the start of each day to the day grows dark we see that spark we see that in your smile, your style,

control feels good. chase. make more of what's yours. the killer of an elderly couple in california could be freed from prison next year if a state appeals court rules in his favor. daniel marsh murdered oliver northup and his wife claudia maupin in 2013 when he was 15 years old. but a state law passed in 2018 prohibits anyone under 16 from being tried as an adult. "48 hours" correspondent erin moriarty has been followed the story for years. good morning. >> it is very concerning. good morning. we're still waiting on the court's decision in this case, and this is why it matters -- there's a belief in this country based on research that young criminals can and should be rehabilitated. but california authorities say that daniel marsh may be an exception. daniel marsh, now 24 years old,

is asking for an early release from prison. >> it's an [ technical difficulties ] marsh bragged about the crime. >> what are you reporting? >> homicide. >> reporter: marsh first denied any involvement. >> i don't want to hurt people -- >> reporter: after more than three hours of questioning by

then-fbi agent chris campion, marsh admitted the unimaginable. >> every time i look at someone, in my mind i see flashes of images of me killing them. >> reporter: and he appeared to show no remorse. >> i'm not going to lie. it felt amazing. >> reporter: that's why yolo county district attorney jeff reisig charged marsh as an adult. >> it was the most horrific, depraved murder i've ever seen as the district attorney in this county. >> reporter: in 2014 marsh was convicted on two counts of sentenced to 52 years to life. but four years later, the california legislature passed a law which prohibits any offender under the age of 16 from being tried as an adult, no matter how violent the crime. his lawyer wants him to be included in that law retroactively. california deputy attorney

general rachelle newcomb argued marsh's verdict was final in 2018, and he shouldn't be allowed to drag the victims' family through never-ending appeals. >> appellates murders in this case have resulted in endless challenges for the victims' families, friends, and community. thankfully, the law and the facts that ensure appellates continue incarceration are uncomplicated and straightforward. >> i don't want to do it anymore. i want to rest. i want my mom to rest. i want my family to rest. >> reporter: the victims' family watching from the district attorney's office now wait nervously for a decision. >> this man could be out on my street in less than a year, and there is absolutely nothing i can do about that. >> every morning for the last six weeks when i wake up, my first thought is terror. >> reporter: the court's decision on marsh's future could come at any time. if the court rules for marsh, he

could be released as early as may, 2022, next year when he turns 25 years old. in earlier hearings, he said he's no longer a threat, but he's been diagnosed as a psychopath. experts who have assessed him are divided over whether he could be rehabilitated. it's a tough one. >> terrifying. to hear the family -- to hear him say it felt amazing to kill them. >> he looked so independent as a teenager, clear -- innocent as a teenager, clearly not.

te tests is growing. i want to get to testing in a second but for now, the booster shot. what changed to lead to this new recommendation? >> we heard dr. murphy say when we see a signal, we'll tell you. and dr. fauci say if you waited for something bad to happen, you're not going to be able to respond with your fullest capabilities. they sited data as recent as the next couple of days. and it shows effectiveness in terms of the vaccine for mild and moderate vaccine does go down but there's increased effectiveness for delta. we know for severe disease, hospitalization and death, it does seem like there is high effectiveness. but they say the pattern

indicates it's possible that in the future, even people vaccinated, could be vulnerable to developing severe disease. i want to say they also utilized antibody and immunologic data. higher antibodies associated with better efficiency. you get a 10-fold increase or more. i think the most important thing is this does have to go through the fda first. they need to do an independent review. and the asa community has to review and make recommendations. then in midseptember, eight months post your second dose, if you got pfizer or moderna vaccine and you fall into first- first- first-priority group, you will be eligible. ideally, you would get the same type you heard before. they did say that the johnson & johnson data they will be

reviewing and ideally in the future, they'll be asking those individuals to get a booster. and they hope to roll this out at over 80,000 locations in the country and over 100 million doses. >> what are your thoughts of covid tests for vaccinated people? i'm getting one today because i'm hostsing the thing at central park but i thought if you were vaccinated, you could stop getting the covid test. that's changed. >> vaccines have never been the end game. testing has always been a critical part of this battle and i think we've failed as a country to accept that. number one, there are breakthrough infections for vaccinated individuals. number two, they can transmit to others. this is about getting tested, in part too, protect those around you, who may be vulnerable. and delta has changed the ball game with being so transmissible.

for people who can't be there through virtual reality they can video conference in, so you can include everyone. it's this pretty amazing experience where you feel like you're really right there with your colleagues. >> i'm up for a draks. let's go. >> work groups is used on oculus quest 2 virtual reality headsets. once inside, you can customize your own avatar. >> mark, i'm in. >> welcome. >> you've got freckles on your nose. >> i have freckles in real life, too. >> do you like my glasses? >> your avatar looks great. >> this is my first virtual reality interview. >> mine, too. my first virtual reality interview, too. >> isn't it good we can do this together? how long have you been working on this? were you getting all zoomed out? i was getting zoomed out. >> we actually started working on this even before covid.

this has been a long-term project partially because we've been really optimistic about virtual reality. >> this is so cool. every yooes gesture you make, i can see your hands, your expresses. >> yeah. one of the things that makes the biggest difference to me -- i don't know if you've had this experience on video conferences is basically you're looking at a grid of faces, and there's no sense of space, right? so when you're really talking to people in person, you have this experience where you're on my right, i'm on your left. we kind of have a shared sense of space and we remember the place that we were in as part of how we are having the conversation. there's all this stuff, all this technology that goes into delivering this, for example, spatial audio. what you'll probably notice is, when i talk to you, it's coming from your left.

>> yes. >> that's an important part of how we as people process presence in the world. it's not like we have a grid of faces and all the sound coming from exactly the same place. we're very optimistic in five years from now, people will be able to live where they want, work from wherever they want, but will be able to feel present as if they're together. >> do you have a favorite feature to use in here? >> yeah. >> something you think is very cool. >> there are a couple of things that i really like. one is you can dynamically change the layout of the room. here we're in a room layout that's designed for conversation. i can switch us really quickly. so now we're in a presentation setting. so that's pretty neat. >> mike is in the middle. >> check this out. i can basically go -- go stand at the white board.

it's like brainstorming, just like in a normal meeting you would have been in. i can say welcome to workrooms. >> guys, this is so frickin cool. this is the thing i worry about. i miss being in the office with people. i like what you said, mark, that people will be able to work wherever they want to, but does this mean that we'll be spending less time in the office? i so miss people. am i alone in that, people in the room? >> i don't think you're alone in that. i'm looking forward to seeing my colleagues and friends, too. you're probably a bit more extroverted than most people, if i had to guess, certainly more extroverted than me. i do think going forward, there are going to be moreremotely. there's an important place for offices, for people to come together, but also an important

place where people want to stay with their family, where they grew up, buts also want access to opportunities that historically would have only been in new york or l.a. i think those opportunities should be available to everyone. all these tools, whether it's video conferencing or eventually being able to collaborate better in the metaverse in products like work rooms that we built here i think is all part of this progress of giving people more freedom to live where they want. >> i saw a presentation years ago, steve jobs said, in your phone right now -- right now it's just a phone, but the day is going to come when you can play music, you can send emails, you can take pictures. when i first heard it, that just sounded, how in the world can that possibly be? here it is, everybody has one in their pocket. is that how you see the metaverse, it will be that ubiquitous. it won't be a foreign term,

we'll all be using it and think nothing of it. is that how you see it? >> yes. i think that will be the case in next five to ten years. we have devices that will be like a normal pair of glasses you can wear that can put holograms into the world, and we'll have these amazing and magical experiences. i think it's going to be wild. it's the thing that i am the most excited about contributing to building over the next five to ten years. >> all right, mark zuckerberg. as we sit here, august 2021, you and i have a date five to seven years from now where we're going to play this interview and say, mark, remember when you told us -- fill-in-the-blank -- >> i look forward to that. >> august 2021, five years from now. >> he said he looks forward to that. mark zuckerberg is not like the other kids in the class and clearly hasn't been for a long time. he told me when he was in middle school -- this is sort of a dream come true for him. he'd leave his friends. he said, wouldn't it be great if

we had a world where we could still play together but be in different places. in middle school i thought, when my friend left, i'll see you tomorrow because we didn't even have cell phones. for him to be thinking about that even as a little kid, and now to be in the forefront, one of the leaders putting this out in the universe, i'm fascinated. listen, this isn't the most attractive thing. they've got to work on that. it was a little clunky for me. i could clearly see where with some lessons, i could get it, even though i'm technically challenged. >> i'm with you. i miss people in the office. >> me as well. >> i miss people i don't like. i even miss them. they shall remain nameless. you know who you are. >> i hope the internet improves so that works everywhere. that's highly dependent on good web access. ahead, it may not be snakes on a plane, but what about a

trying to get out of here. >> of all the customers in the store -- >> i wonder if he knew she was a snake catcher. >> there appears something going on. they've been in lockdown because of covid for a long time. she said it's the most exciting thing that happened in a while. >> she calls it exciting. i call it an adult diaper moment. you go, girl. all is well. moving on, we are excited about our next guest. that is mindy kaling. there's only one of her. the award-winning actress got her start writing for and starring in "the office." didn't we love her in that show? i'll go first, yeah, we did. first on "cbs this morning," mindy kaling is revealing her newest project, one that's very close to her heart, she says. she's helping to make sure that all women have access to a support system. kaling is partnering with tj maxx, we like them, too, for the change exchange penpal program. after filling out a questionnaire, women are matched with a penpal who they can correspond with by traditional

mail or email. mindy kaling joins us now to -- hey, you got up early in los angeles for us. we really thank you for that. good to see you. really good to see you. >> good to see you. >> i'm so excited -- >> hi, everyone. good morning. thanks for having me. >> good morning. >> i'm excited about this because there's a recent -- recent studies so for women, one in two women, when they're going through times of personal change, would prefer to have access to another woman. i so think that's true. so i'm curious about motivated you or what attracted you to this program. >> well, i had a very eventful pandemic so far. >> yeah, you did. >> i had a baby during the pandemic. and i just felt like so isolated. and i think that because i didn't have access to see my friends and my support group, it was just really missing. and so when i was asked to get involved with the change exchange, i thought this is so perfect because i think it's just designed to help women connect with each other in a way that makes it easy for them.

and the program launches today. and i'm just so excited for people to head over to maxyouproject.com and sign up for a penpal. >> you already have a penpal. i got a -- a handwritten note the other day on stationery and was touched that someone would take the time to wrote a note. it meant a lot. you can do it with a pen pal with -- what do you call it? >> stationery. >> stationery, or do it on email. how are you communicating with your -- >> exactly -- >> how are you communicating, and what's the relationship been like so far between the two of you? >> well, gilisa is this incredible woman, and we've been communicating actually by good old-fashioned like, you know, writing on stationery because i'm obsessed with stationery. and her circumstances are so fascinating. she's just the most like funny, positive woman. and that makes me feel more positive and fun. and we just -- we could not have more different lives, but i feel like we have so much in common.

and i just really -- blessed at the change exchange that brought us together. >> you said you're obsessed with stationery? >> yes. i am. i do love it -- i love nice stationery. >> me, too. me, too. >> i don't know. maybe -- okay, good. i'm happy. i was so happy that you said you did, too, because i felt like that was a weird thing, too. >> it's -- it's a -- stationery is a dying thing. i'm struck by that. >> my gosh, if you have good penmanship in this day and age, chef's kiss. >> that i don't have. >> you've got -- you mentioned you had a baby during the pandemic. you've got a 3-year-old. you've got an almost 1-year-old now. how has motherhood changed you? >> motherhood has -- i mean, it's really -- i was not a patient person before this. i'm still not really patient. but it's really forced me to embrace that. it's actually one of the things

i talk about in my letters in the change exchange is like my desire to kind of -- i'm tested sort of every day. and i think it's great. it's made me grow as a person. i feel like i'm so much more caring, and it's one of the blessings of parenthood, right, is that you have to think about yourself less and it makes you a kinder person. >> that's the truth. >> hey, mindy, the second season of "never have i ever" is on netflix now. it's loosely based on your experiences as a teenager. i have to say i don't know that i particularly want to revisit all of my experiences as a teenager, let alone bring them to the screen. >> understand. >> what was it like for you? >> well, it's kind of like what you said -- it's like a little bit like it's cathartic, a little painful. but because the character isn't me and we said now it's not in my actually childhood ho, it's

all indian cast and in comedy. >> i so love your career. you've done so many things. i fell in love with you in "the office." you are an actor, a writer, a producer, you run your own production company which i love this name of it -- kaling international. that's already a prediction of i'm going big or i'm going home, going global. what kind of boss are you? how do you see your career going? i'm so fascinated by how you're doing what you're doing. what kind of boss are you? >> okay, coming from you, that is incredible. you know, everyone -- it's like on "the office," michael scott thinks he's this amazing boss, but everyone else doesn't agree with him. >> right. >> so i'm a little hesitant to how to characterize myself because i feel like my employees will be like, she's not like that. to me, i think the environment is funny, but i'm -- it's like a fun environment, but i'm like a demanding boss, you know. like i want 100% from everyone. i was raised by immigrants who were like the first people in and the last people out. and i kind of instilled that into my work ethic, too.

and i surround myself with people who are kind of okay with that. and it's a lot of women, it's a lot of diverse women because the stories i tell are about that subject material. and so far it's going pretty well. but it's -- it's been interesting. i came in this as like an artist, and now i'm an employer. dealing with like hr issues and things like that that i never thought that i would have to deal with. and like people going on maternity leave. i've had to really research. and i think no one becomes better just by becoming better. you have to really work at it. and -- yeah. i've been trying to work at becoming the best employer that i can. >> mindy, thanks for working it this morning by getting up extra early to talk to us. we appreciate it. it's great to hear your voice. we'll have you back soon. >> we're looking forward to "legally blonde 3." i know you're doing the script. can't wait. >> looking forward to it. we'll ask you how it's going. i know there are deadlines and such. thank you again. ahead in our series "a more perfect union," how a pianist is transforming the classical music
