7:29 am
lauer broadcast. what do you make of this reckoning? >> i think it's frankly long overdue. we're waking up to a reality and injustice that's been occurring for some time and i think it will continue to occur until the glass creeling is finally broken. this is about power and power imbalance where women are not valued as much as men. i'm not talking about men being attracted to other people.ple in the workplace who are powerful who are abusing that power, and women and men are suffering. and i think the fact that people are speaking out is important. and the fact that we are moving against this imbalance of power is absolutely overdue. >> do you believe that matt lauer abused his power. >> you know i'm trying not do
7:30 am
harm in these conversations. i can tell you i am not surprised by the allegations. >> what do you mean by that ann? you heard things knew things? what does that mean? >> that means -- you know i'm walking down that road. i'm trying not to hurt people. i know what it's like to be publicly humiliated. i never did anything wrong to be publicly humiliate and i don't want to cause that kind of pain to somebody else. i can say that i -- because you're asking me a very direct question, i can say that i would be surprised if many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment that existed. i think it would be surprising if someone said that they didn't see that. it was verbal sexual harassment.
7:31 am
>> wait a minute. she just said verbal sexual harassment was pervasive at the time. >> i don't want to -- boy. i don't want to cause more pain. you're asking me a very direct question. i'm an honest person, i want the tell you that it was, yes, period. >> i wanted to pick up on the notion of power because in the court of public opinion, it was viewed that a powerful man meaning matt lauer derailed your career. i know in this crazy business of ours it's their sandbox. by that i mean managers. they decide who plays. it can happen to any one of us at any time. in your opinion, many thought matt lauer was behind you leaving the "today" show. i'd like to know what you feel about that. we've never talked about it. i always wondered. your last day was very emotional, very difficult for you clearly and i don't want to upset you here either. >> oh don't worry.
7:32 am
i'm not going start crying. >> do you believe -- >> you know you should ask someone else. i'm not the one to ask about that. >> you're the only one to ask. >> no no because i don't know what all was behind it. i do know it hurt like hell it wasn't a fun moment i've learned a great deal about myself. i've at this point let it go. i just let it go, and i think it ee time -- it's been earring and i want to sort of really move on from that. it's -- you know at this point, i'm thinking cuma mata da. it's over. but, no. i think the real question in my view is what are we going to do with all of this anger. and it's not just obviously about work. it's not about where you're now working. it's about the problem that's across industries in workplaces across america and this is actually the issue and the question is ultimately what are we going to do about it. i wonder if we -- if we keep
7:33 am
focusing over on these individual scandals if we're going to move off of that foot into creating something better in thefuture. >> though each of the personal stories add this personal conversation. you tweeted "me too" in october. what did you mean? >> i think what i just said. the idea that i don't know a single woman. i don't know a single woman who has not endured some form of sexual harassment and many women have endured workplace sexual harassment. it's happened to me in multiple jobs, and it is a way of sidelining women. you know it's ultimately not only bad for the women, but it's bad for the companies and bad for our nation because it's limiting people. really, also we should be talkinou we're talking about the scandal, the scandal, the scandal. what are what are we going to remove the these women are working and not
7:34 am
sidelined and prevented from contributing to the greater good. >> what are we going? we're talking about a power imbalance that as you say goes outside the workplace. how does that change? does that mean more women executives? does it mean taking women? >> absolutely, john. i this i that is broken until the balance of power is that women are one tohis the majority, right? so until that bal that we're talking about that enables continue. and this is really what we is why -- one of the reasons why breaking the glass well there are two women anchoring the "today" show as you know. savannah said it was one of the most popular decisions ever see that? two women at the table? >> no.en on the broadcasts are women. it's overwhelmint wen are involved speaking to women is actually an overdue idea. so a ut good idea. >> all right. and one thing, ann. you said it hurt learned a lot about yourself.

8:24 am
joins us again only on "cbs this morning." welcome back to the table. i want to start with picture, ann curry, of littleiend. it felt so new to me. >> it really resonated when we started talking about the idea. i mean it struck me because i've spent a career covering world-changing events and this is about how people react in world-changing events. how they can reach out doonld something, an act of kindness and sometimes even more beheroic and rescue each other and save each other's lives emotionally and physically. it really resonated with me. >> your mom is japanese and your dad is american and how two of them were separated. >> right. >> the two of them had a little separation. >> i think that's one reason why it really resonated. my father was an occupation soldier. my mother was a war bride. they were both 18 years old. they fell in love. and my father went to the navy and said you know i want to marry this woman. at that time you couldn't marry
8:25 am
a japanese woman. they said, bob your eyes are starting to slant. they thought they were helping him. they sent him to morocco for two years. finally he came back. he went to my mother -- my mother was a rice farmer's daughter way up in the mountains, you know thatch roofed home and found her. at the and hugging. and then he stepped away. he realized something was wrong. he found out because she was so skeletal that she was dying of tuberculosis. at this moment you marry a japanese one but not a sick one. they got together. yeah. the story goes on from there, but we don't have time for it. >> one of the interesting things about "we'll meet again," this made me think about what i want to go back and meet from my
8:26 am
childhood. it was hard to re-create these and find people. >> right. you think with the internet we can find anybody we want. actually not so much. there's a lot of excavation that has to happen talking to librarians and genealogists. absolutely it's hard. >> it's amazing. these small brief moments occupy then the great space if in their life. they fill it with so much meaning and import. >> exactly. in the case you just saw, these women have been waiting for more than 70 years to see each other. what's really amazing is mary francis doesn't remember -- the very tall woman doesn't remember what she had done. but what she had done was showed friendship at a time when other kids were throwing rocks and adulting were saying bad things to all japanese americans in certain communities because of the bombing of pearl harbor. so this little girl on the right of your screen, mar francis, she
8:27 am
reached out to her, showed her way. when she came back from the internment camps, it was mary francis who walked up to her, grabbed her hand and pulled her into the playground. and mary francis doesn't remember what she did. the idea we can commit an act of kindness that might change somebody's life and have her thank her, it was lovely to watch them reunite. we had our headsets on. we tried to stay back a little ways away so they could have their moment and honor that and respect th we were all sobbing including cameraman. >> there was a point when you were with her at the camp wre she was thinking about her children. she wasn't sad for herself but her family having to be taken to this place. >> exactly. she was born in america. she said i couldn't control my country. they suffered so much.
8:28 am
the kids were suffered where they were staying inside the interment camp. yeah. i think that, you know what you see is history not just from the point of view of presidents and generals. you hear this history from the point of view of the common man and woman and how they were caught up in it and how they needed each other to survive and i actually think this is a story of all of us because throughout all of our ancestries, there were people who had to survive these kinds of world-changing events, and it was because of others, whether it was family or strangers that we even exist. so i think it's a story for all >> it's a nice history lesson. i was very touched by 9/11. it's because a woman gave a survivor a hug. she didn't realize -- she said you look like you need a hug. she did not realize the impact that hug had on that man's life all these years later and he wanted to find her.
8:29 am
>> he wanted to find her. he was in the hotel between the two towers and barely escaped with his life. they met at a nearby high school where she was a photographer's assistant and she saw him slumped up against the wall and she said, you look like you need a hug. she took care of him. she was a young 20 something. he was a businessman from the midwest. she essentially took care of him. he was so traumatized by what he had experienced. she walked him out, made sure he was fed, didn't let him out of her sight until she knew he had some place to go. he wanted to say thank you for this. >> some of the stories are about true heroism where somebody comes in and rescues someone and sometimes there are stories we talk about about the ultimate kindness we can each show for each other and how this can have an impact we may not fully know. >> we know all of your kindness and thank you for sharing it. great to see you on tv.
8:30 am
more after these six episodes? >> you know, they're already in fur development. >> we'll take that as a yes. >> we're on it. >> we want to see it. i think you're going to be flooded by requests of people who want to meet someone again. guys. it's been great to sit with you. >> "we'll meet again" premieres tuesday on pbs, january 23rd. and you can hear more from ann in this week's issue of "people" well. anthony bourdain say s chef syhabout's restaurant is one
8:33 am
8:34 am
the key ingredient is pepper wood. it has red pepper. >> it infuses it. you don't eat it. >> it's very vivacious, very rich. >> unlike anything i've ever had. >> that's anthony bourdain dining with chef james syhabout in laos. he fled laos with his family when he was young after it to communism in 1975. hay arrived in oakland. he went from refugee to culinary rock star. he's the force behind two michelin restaurants. hawker fare focuses on his childhood cuisine.
8:35 am
>> the chef's book is called "hawker fare." syhabout has done more than any other person in the world to get the world out about this unfairly unnecessarily secret country and cuisine. "hawker fare" is published by bourdain's imprint. good morning. why is laos cuisine still a eating it but ethically coming from a far region.iliar with at least a general outline of a lot of those chances are we already deeply besides just the common dishes.rite in this book and there's great little intros about your cou family which i think is so rich with history. you write, just like u.s. anf-load
8:36 am
of war, laos is a secret country. known? >> i think bamboo shoots. you don't see it c a lot of them are you're not accustomed to laos food and thai unfiltered. it's not the on the supermarket shelves. come from and makes it different. tried common thai food? >> first common thai food was my mom's restaurant growing up. it was like what we used to cook for ourselves and what we serve on the menu, i was like mom, what are you doing. >> she was like this is what americans want. they don't understand. >> how far was the distance
8:37 am
between the two? >> fairly far. not even a resemblance. >> you describe this book as an apology of your parents. you say you were embarrassed and ashamed that you abandoned your roots of laos cooking and then you went to culinary school to focus on high dining and then you realized hey, my roots are okay. that. >> because ofaos food and thai food that's how i got interested in cooking. i could see my future cuisine. i took the common -- opened up michelin star restaurants and i thought, you know i need to pay homage to how i got star know how to cook this food i grew up on. >> you know anthony, food is also about you write laosian people are some of the moist food-crazy hospitable people you have ever met and you've traveled the world.
8:38 am
