carlson is at the center of the false vote-rigging claims following the 2020 election as well as a new discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer, alleging a hostile and discriminatory work environment. shares of fox corporation dropped 3% on the news. and cnn has fired its longtime host, don lemon, after 17 years at the network. the embattled morning show co-host faced backlash after saying women in their 50s were past their prime. cbs's jericka duncan is going to start us off tonight from outside fox news headquarters in new york. good evening, jericka. >> reporter: good evening, norah. you know, carlson's controversial comments over the years led many advertisers to flee at times. but some of his rhetoric would have obviously gotten him fired at many media companies. but his ratings soared, which ye until now. e ba on moay.>> repo

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm sarah ewall-wice in washington. thanks for staying with us. the streets of new york city are getting greener by the day thanks to the nypd. the nation's largest police department has begun a pilot program designed to lead to a fleet of all-electric patrol cars by 2035. the nypd has about 30,000 vehicles, and going electric will not only help clean up the city's air but also save $100 million a year in fuel.

kris van cleave reports. >> reporter: the nypd is putting an electric future to the test, rolling out the first of nearly 200 new electric patrol cars, the largest police ev trial in the country. >> you definitely get a lot of glances, and people wanting to take pictures of the new cars. >> reporter: officer ryan delassio has been driving one of the new ford mustang mach-e cruisers. >> was there anykeicism about having an electric as a police car? >> the he skepticism was being able to charge and having the time to charge it. but as of right now, we haven't had any issue. >> reporter: turning the black and white or, in the case of the nypd, the blue and white green has been a 15-year journey. the agency started testing retrofitted civilian hybrids in 2009 and pushed ford to make a true hybrid police car. we were there in 2019 when they got their first hybrid suvs. each delivers about a 40%

improvement on fuel economy, saving 700 gallons of gas a year per vehicle. now the department is taking civilian evs and modifying them for police work. >> the nypd has always been at the forefront of new technology, and these vehicles are part of that. >> reporter: nypd first deputy commissioner edward ca ban. >> this is the first time we have a fully electric vehicle that's to be used for patrol purposes. we have to test that out and see if it stands up to the rigors of patrol. we know our cops can. they do it day in and day out. we have to make sure these vehicles can. >> reporter: the mach e has more horsepower, more torque, more advanced safety features, a faster zero to 60 time, and faster braking than any other vehicle in the nypd fleet, something we experienced firsthand on the department's test track. >> let's see how this goes. >> reporter: including an obstacle course all recruits have to successfully navigate. >> stay close to the left, close to the left, close to the left.

slam on those brakes. >> there went some cones. >> listen, i won't tell if you don't, kris. don't worry about those cones. >> reporter: while the nypd's pilot program is by far the largest, police departments around the world are testing electrics from teslas on patrol in luxekburg to a mach e. keeping the pace in allegheny, pennsylvania. still ford anticipates a gradual transition. >> it will be a slower progression to electric than it is for, you know, a retail customer to adjust to just is used for a police officer in a much different way. >> reporter: fremont, california, police found the change comes with a bit of a learning curve. >> down to six miles of battery on the tesla, so i may lose it here in a sec. >> reporter: in 2019, officers nearly ran out of juice during a pursuit because the department forgot to charge its tesla. >> one of our big concerns is are we going to be able to keep these cars out there on a continual basis? >> reporter: inspector scott alexa is the nypd's commander of

fleet services. he's getting daily feedback from officers testing the cars. >> what have you seen that you like about the electrics? where maybe is there room for improvement? >> overall the car seems to be performing well. we definitely want to see them in a more comfortable position and have more space in the car to put police equipment in the car. >> reporter: so far, officer delassio is liking what he's seeing. >> do you feel like this is just as capable of a police car as a gas-powered car? >> i do, yeah. it drives just as good, if not better in some ways, than the gas-powered cars. >> you're convinced that this has a future in policing? >> i -- i am, yes, if it's managed properly and gets -- >> plugged in at night? >> plugged in at night? >> plugged [tap tap] my secret to beating sniff checks? secret dry spray. just spray and stay fresh all day. my turn. secret actually fights odor. and it's aluminum free. hours later, still fresh. secret works.

american culture. susan spencer has the look. >> reporter: theresa harrison's approach to getting old never gets old. >> you can tell i'm excited about my age. >> you seem to be. now, why is that? >> i've become more innovative. i've become more creative. i've become more curious. >> reporter: at 64, her energy is impressive, as are her skills. the baltimore-based technology company she founded handles cybersecurity for the department of defense. and when did she start it? >> i was in my 50s when i founded george street services. >> i mean the stereotype is of the hotshot 19-year-old in the garage, right. >> mm-hmm. >> with all these wacko ideas. >> that is me. just another another 30 years. >> reporter: but in the tech world, those 30 years often draw unwelcome questions. >> i've been asked my age. i've been asked, how long are you going to work?

aren't you getting tired? are you going to stick around? >> do you feel like this has had an impact on, say, getting a contract? >> i think it does unfortunately. >> can you imagine someone in their 20s or 30s or even their 40s being asked those same questions? and yet for some reason, it's socially acceptable to say those same types of things to a woman in her 60s. >> would you call that ageism? >> absolutely. >> reporter: university of oklahoma professor julie owner allen calls it everyday ageism. >> everyday ageism refers to those sort of minor comments, interactions, exposures that suggest that aging is undesirable. so it's things like, you know, all the birthday cards making jokes about wrinkles and walkers. it's nerd actions where someone assumes that an older adult can't use their phone or other forms of technology. and it's also when older adults

tend to believe some of these assumptions anddicet oldedults themselves. >> reporter: and everyday ageism is everywhere, says allen, who conducted a large-scale nationwide survey to assess just how pervasive it really is. >> over 93% of u.s. older adults between the ages of 50 and 80 experience sort of these daily everyday ageism interactions and experiences frequently. >> that is an astonishing number. 93%? >> absolutely, yes. >> we live in a culture that bombards us from childhood on, starting with children's books, about how awful it's going to be to get old, how tragic to encounter any kind of incapacity. and unless we stop to question those messages, they become part of our identity. >> reporter: getting that word out is ashton applewhite's singular mission. >> so i sold the rights in

korea. look at this beautiful book. >> wow. >> her book, "this chair rocks," argues for fighting back. >> my goal is to help catalyze a grassroots movement like the women's movement to raise awareness of ageism, what it is, what it looks like, what it smells like, and what wean do >> wrin,ndhoacot anymor reporter: anti-g products, is tgeist j i itself?>>solutely. i mean it's a multi-million, gazillion dollar industry really designed to frankly encourage all of us to think that the appearance of older adults isn't attractive. >> how do you answer when somebody says, oh, you look great for your age? >> well, the only snappy answer i've come up with in all this time, you say "you look great for your age too." and let that sit there because a lot of age-based comments are often well-intended.

that is intended as a compliment. >> yeah. >> but i can't accept that compliment. it suggests that there's a certain way you look at a certain age, and there's no such thing. >> so to be clear, we're not attacking joe biden for falling off his bike at a dead standstill. he's at the age where that can happen. he shouldn't be riding bikes. >> president b i immune fromth. as brunt ofany jokes, will, about ing. >>e. so, you know, when our president falls off his bike, because of the age group that he represents, it's assumed to have something to do with that. when people across the country fall off their bikes all the time, but if they aren't in that older age group, the reasoning that is sort of provided for why it happened is typically very different. >> so it's very well to say, well, we have to get rid of these attitudes. how do you do it? >> i mean, i think the first step is increasing awareness, and it's sort of a prerequisite. but also to really start to make

the case that ageism is bad for health and it is harmful. >> reporter: that's right. ageism is bad for us, mentally and even physically. >> certainly it may act as a source of chronic stress, leading to increased risk for actually a pretty broad spectrum of different chronic diseases. and we've also found that ageism is associated with premature mortality. people who experience more ageism are much more likely to die at a younger age. >> reporter: conversely, according to one study, people with an upbeat take on getting older actually live longer, an average of 7 1/2 years longer. >> there's some research showing that there are positive health benefits to even having positive attitudes. do you buy that? >> 100%. i believe that a positive mind-set yields unbelievable results. >> reporter: harrison says she and her booming business prove

it. but contrary to our preconceptions about aging, it turns out she's not unique. >> the average entrepreneur is not in their 20s. it is not in their 30s. they're actually in their 40s. 42 was the average number. >> wow. >> reporter: professor jay daniel kim at the university of pennsylvania's wharton business school recently conducted a massive study of successful entrepreneurs. and they are not the kid in the garage. >> statistically if i'm 50 and i think about having a start-up tech company, i'm more likely to succeed than if i'm 30? >> absolutely. vera wang, she was 40 years old when she founded her fashion company. sam walton of walmart was 44. bernie marcus at home depot was 51 years old. >> reporter: meanwhile, theresa harrison just keeps on keeping on. she says because of her age, not in spite of it.

>> your inspirational. >> well, thank you. thank you. >> and if i ever get older, i'll take all this to heart. >> please do. female: my husband worked on a strip job for a number of years, got black lung. a little over three years ago he quickly started declining and started asking for my help. since jerry got sick and i've taken on the extra work here it's been wonderful to know that i can still hear the word with
