Jonathan, thanks. The cbs overnight news will be right back. M, announcer this is the cbs overnight news. President trump is blaming the violent protests on anarchists. He also wants those known as antifa, an umbrella term for farleft leaning groups that resist White Supremacists be designated a terrorist organization. Nikole killion is at the white house. Reporter its unclear how this designation, if it happens, could work since there are no domestic terrorism statutes under federal law. As protests intensified near the white house and across the country, President Trump in a series of tweets sunday praised the National Guard in minneapolis for shutting down radical left anarchists, then declared, the United States of america will be designating antifa as a terrorist organization. The president wants to know what the fbi has been doing to surveil, to disrupt, to prosecute antifa. And in they havent been doing that, we need a plan right away. Reporter in a statement, attorney general william barr said, the violence instigated and carried out by antifa and other similar groups in connection with rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly. Federal Law Enforcement sources tell cbs news they are still investigating what role extremists may be playing and wont be characterizing whether they are left wing or right wing. My administration will stop mob violence, and well stop it cold. Reporter but some of the president s tough talk and tweets are drawing bipartisan backlash.

Mbered out of a o t is anotherne bit the dust. And now ive got, another one bites thdusth thats a tough song. Its not sentimental. Reporter during our current crisis, though, many of the songs have a softer touch. Like jewels Early Release of this song of her upcoming album. One thing ive learned in my life is the darkest of times is the most fertile opportunities. Because i cant always be grateful reporter the song grateful was written before the pandemic but she says it reminds her of overcoming another adversity years ago. I became homeless because i wouldnt have sex with the boss. I started living in my car, my car got stolen, and i was homeless for a year.

So this is really a time we have to come together. Our minds are a bit geared to look toward the negative and we have to look harder to see whats actually working and theres a lot working always. So its just taking the wins where you get them. Really having a chance to celebrate them. Reporter John Bon Jovis idea of celebrating them was to bring his fans into the covid song writer process. He asked anyone to conute lyrics to do what you can. Thumbs up, can you hear. N j . Reporter including these kids from Marsh Point Elementary School in florida.

For me to be singing it back to a 5yearold who said mommy and daddy are feeling stressed, theyre learning what that word is through song. That was all very touching. It was very moving. Just living on a prayer over here. Thank you so much. Reporter so, yes, there are a lot of covid19 songs. Each one matters to someone differently. And each one remains a marker in a time that has changed everything. When you cant do what you do you do what youuter hhink youre going to bes we lmore e little more compassion. It would be really great if out of this we all learn to be just a little more kind. The coronavirus pandemic has shuttered bars and restaurants the world oev.
