Hornets, an aggressive species thats wiping out honeybees in the Pacific Northwest. Luke burbank will be telling us all about it. Reporter somewhere in these woods lurks a fearsome predator. Its isolated. Its somewhere in this area. And the race is on to find it and destroy before it can threaten americas honeybees. They are just killing machines. They have these giant mandibles that are like shark fangs and one chop it bites the head off. Wow. Later on sunday morning, tracking the asian giant hornet. From there, its on to a look at whats cooking with famed new york restaurateur danny meyer during this time of dining restrictions. With Martha Teichner, well hear him out. Im not gonna be the kind of restaurant that ive heard about that puts shower curtains between the tables. Ive literally heard about that. Covid19 forced danny meyer to close all twenty of his iconic new york restaurants and lay off more than 2000 people, so now what . There is no recovery at all unless this industry recovers. Rethinking restaurants, ahead this sunday morning. Weve got a summer song for you this morning. From none other than jimmy buffet, the first time hes sung it in public, no less. We have our tracy smith to thank. Jimmy buffett has gone from big shows for the party crowd to zoom shows for first responders. Al i wish the whole wide world would swim along we will get a little taste ourselves, coming up on sunday morning. Ted koppel looks at these United States, at an Election Year crossroads. Lee cowan tells us about the surprising number of American Homes still lacking clean, running water. David martin looks at the controversial deployment of federal agents to portland, oregon and other cities. Plus a remembrance of regis philbin. Richard schlesinger on the restroom of our postcovid future. And more on sunday morning, july 26, 2020. We will be back after this. Want restaurants to open . And schools . Want the economy to get back on track . Youre not alone. And you can help make it happen. Stay 6 feet apart. Wash your hands. Wear a mask every time you leave your home. Choose to join the fight against covid19. Do your part. Slow the spread. Pauley what could be worse than a plague of locusts . How about an invasion by so called murder hornets . Heres luke burbank. Reporter ted mcfall, of custer, washington, loves his bees. Like, really loves them. Some people love their cats. Some people love their dogs and beekeepers love their bees. Some bee colonies are a little more aggressive or a little little more cranky. Some bee colonies are faster route to store, honey. Each colony kind of has its own little personality. He and his kids even name some of the queens. Im not sure that i want to say on national tv, but some of the names are like beeyoncee, favorite one this year was queen elizabuzz. Just silly names. Which is why, it was so upsetting for him, when he found one of his favorite, most productive hives had been slaughtered. That that particular colony had a good sixty thousand bees in it. They killed all the workers, the drones, the queen. They slaughtered every last bee in the entire in the entire colony. The likely culprit . Something called the asian giant hornet which you may have also heard called, the murder hornet more on that in a minute. Whenever they find a beehive, they will slaughter all the bees, go inside the beehive and then rip out the pupa and rip out the bee larva. And then they will fly that back to their own young and feed that to their young. I mean, i know nature is violent, but thats like horrormovie violent. Yeah, it is. Total horror movie violence and its not like the bees are able to mount a defense because our western honey bee are totally helpless against this predator. Scientists think the hornets hitched a ride over to north america on a cargo ship, and chris looney is hoping they dont get too comfortable here. They have one of the more painful stings thats known to humankind. Looney is the entomologist in charge of exotic pests at the Washington State department of agriculture. Their jaw can actually can take a chunk of flesh out of a human body. Yeah. If they bite you they can take a little divot of skin out. They use those jaws most of the time for, for mashing up other bugs and turning them into the meat balls that they take back to feed their larvae. I guess youd be hard pressed to decide which youre more worried about. If one lands on you, is it going to bite me or sting me . With 5 confirmed hornets found in Washington State, looney and his colleagues are trying to figure out how they can spot underground nests to stop the hornets spread before they start reproducing in large numbers. Were experimenting right now with infrared cameras essentially to see if we can locate those nests in the ground. The nest will stay at about 87 to 90 degrees fahrenheit. So in the cool Pacific Northwest mornings, they should stand out to some degree. We are in talks right now with both researchers at university of washington to see if we might be able to use radio transmitters or radio tags as a way to follow them back to their nest. Yes, you heard that right. These hornets are so large, up to 2 ½ inches long, that you can actually attach a radio transmitter to them. To eradicate the hives, looney and his colleagues will have to wear special hornetproof suits because the hornets stingers are so long they can sting through regular bee suits. This is great. It will protect us from being stung, but you can imagine its really hard to maneuver in this. First, though, they have to find them. So theyve enlisted the help of regular folks, citizen scientists. This is trap 1535. Like emily neely, of burien, washington. To make traps with orange juice and rice wine and hang them in their backyards. Then report what they find. Washington Officials Say if you live in the state and you see a giant hornet, you should take a picture of it on their phone and submit it, but otherwise leave the insect alone, lest you end up like the people on this japanese reality show. On the subject of japan, the nickname murder hornets appears to have come from a possible mistranslation from japanese, which went viral after it was used in a New York Times article. If you talk to chris looney or any other scientists, though, theyll tell you theyre not really fans of the name. Murder hornet, it doesnt work for a couple of reasons. One of them, it exaggerates the human health risk. These are Human Health Risks like. And like i said, we dont want to be stung by one. If youre allergic to one, obviously, that can be really dangerous. And even if youre not allergic, multiple stings certainly can lead to being hospitalized and sometimes rarely even death. But it turns out its not that many people that die from this any given year in the places where its native. Fall brings the giant hornets mating season in the Pacific Northwest. Ted mcfall is doing everything he can to protect his remaining honeybees. To think theres this terrible creature in the woods thats going to come out and attack them any day. So i feel like its a bit of a race for us to find them and find their nest and destroy them before they destroy our honeybees. Whats happening here . Hes experimenting with different types of bait. This one that i am trying is cat food. Checks on his hives regularly. So all these frames are going to be full of honey in the next few weeks. And as an absolute last resort, hes even stashed one his daughters tennis rackets in bag by his traps. You know, back in high school, i had a pretty good serve. I havent played tennis since then. But, yeah, thats a way that i may i may decide to fight the hornets this way. Desperate times call for Desperate Measures in the ongoing battle between man and terrifying beast. Theyre jeans.

[gunfire] reporter by almost any measure, 1968 was a terrible year for the United States the bloodiest year, in terms of u. S. Casualties in vietnam. Martin luther king was shot and killed tonight in memphis. Reporter the assassination of Martin Luther king, which sparked rioting and arson in our inner cities; and then, a few weeks later, came the killing of bobby kennedy. That summer, the Democratic Convention in chicago was all but overshadowed by pitched battles between police and antiwar demonstrators. I think our parents certainly felt that it was never gonna be the same again. And thats how i feel now. I feel great despair. Reporter Kathleen Parker would grow up to become a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist. Its across the board, where we feel that no one is really quite in charge; and how, in fact, do we wanna see someone in charge. Reporter anna quindlen, who would go on to win her own Pulitzer Prize for commentary, from a more liberal perspective than parker, was, in 1968, in high school. In addiction, counselors say all the time that people dont stop self destructive behavior until theyve hit bottom. And sometimes i wonder if this is the United States of america hitting bottom in some ways; and that therefore, what history tells us that from hitting bottom, we can only go up. Reporter he would rise to become the highest ranking officer in the u. S. Military. Our strategy to go after this army is very very simple. Reporter and, ultimately, secretary of state. At one point, colin powell was a likely republican candidate for president ; but in 1968, he was a young army major, serving in vietnam. And the country was a mess. And remember also that we were entering a period where were still in the cold war and were entering the period where we were going to have disappointments in our president and Vice President. And we had to let spiro agnew go. And then nixon went. I thought that was about the worst time in my life and in mywatching the country. But ill tell you what, the current situation, comes close to matching it. Reporter senator tom daschle represented south dakota for three terms between 1987 and 2005. For ten years, he Led Senate Democrats as both minority and Senate Majority leader. But in 1968 from the air the scene looked unreal. I was in college at the time, and it was my very first trip to washington. So i have vivid memories of seeing 14th street and the National Guard out on the streets and the burning buildings and the extraordinary chaos that was so pervasive. I think the big difference between then and now is how functional government was, even under those times, versus how dysfunctional it is today. We had a president who was not very popular, primarily because of vietnam but was an extraordinary leader on domestic issues. Now we see enormous dysfunction, almost complete paralysis, except, i would say for the four covid bills that have been passed. For the most part, congress is just not working as it should. And we have, of course, a president whos completely dysfunctional. Reporter if, in 1968, vietnam and race were the unavoidable, often unbridgeable issues, now its race and the pandemic. The rest of the world looks at us now. They used to look at us withwith envy. And now i feel as though they look at us with horror and pity for our inability to get a handle on a pandemic that we, of all countries, should have been able to fight successfully. If we cant get proper leadership at the federal level, well then, the states and the municipalities are just gonna have to do it on their own. . I ask you as someone who has spent a lifetime in governance, is that even doable . The short answer, ted, is no. I think weve seen examples of good leadership at the gubernatorial and state level; even at the local level at times. And i think they can offset some of the shortcomings of not having National Leadership. But you need a national strategy. You need national resources. You need national policy. You need some way of ensuring that the whole country at large is on the same page. Reporter tom daschle, the moderate democrat, and colin powell, the centrist republican, are relics of another political age, when compromise was rare, but still possible. Would you, would you wanna be taking over control of the government right now . I would just as soon not have to, and no ones about to ask me. But i share your view that covid is one of the worst things ive ever seen happen to the country because its not being dealt with properly. I mean, this is a disease this is the condition that is affecting every single part of the United States of america and the rest of the world for that matter. And so i believe that what we ought to be doing is having a National Plan. Not each state and each different county going about it their own way, but a National Plan executed by the federal government so that we are all doing the same thing. Its gonna take a remarkable person, leader or groups of leaders across the nation to figure out how to bring this, this every diverse country. But i still, i think ultimately, i have to be optimistic because were the United States. Right . We have to come back. When you talk about great leadership, were down to two candidates now. Do you see great leadership . So, no. I dont see dont see it yet. The president , trump, you know, has been a huge disappointment on so many fronts. But the worst, i think, is the fact that he has no qualms about saying things that are intended to disunify the country intended to antagonize certain groups, and intended to marginalize certain groups. So hes been so bad for this country and so toxic in all those ways. And we cant move forward until we are one again. So the best hope we have right now, i think, is joe biden. And thats not to endorse him as a candidate. Its just simply to point out the facts of what we have and what we have to work with going forward. Where do we go after election day, when there are gonna be tens of millions of people who say i not only dont like the way this turned out. I dont believe the way it turned out . i think that there is going to be an unparalleled pressure on National Leaders in this country, and im not talking about whoevers president of the United States. Im talking about members of the senate, governors, leaders of nonprofit and Good Government organizations to speak in some sort of nontoxic way to try to step back from the twitterverse, which, as far as im concerned has become in many ways the equivalent of writing on the walls of a public restroom, a venue in which people say things to and about people that they would never say if they were looking them in their eyes. Reporter on balance, come 2021, 2022, is this gonna be a good place to live . My two elder grandchildren are half chinese. My new grandson is a quarter black. Therefore, they look like america. And i have hopes for that america. But im not sure thats the america of 2021. But when i look at those kids, and i think of the future, i dont have any choice but to be hopeful. I have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. Because i can still make my own insulin. And trulicity activates my body to release it like its supposed to.

Oh, those are progressive cant protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. Look at that. Pauley it happens later this morning, a final crossing of the Edmund Pettus bridge in selma alabama for congressman and civil rights Champion John lewis. 55 years ago, lewis was crossing that bridge at the head of a peaceful Voting Rights march when it was attacked by police, as lewis recalled five years ago for our Bob Schieffer so you were among the first to be hit . I was the first to be hit, and i still have the scar on my forehead. Today, on this far more tranquil weekend, a horsedrawn carriage will take john lewis one last time across the bridge which activists are campaigning to rename for him. Name was invoked as a rallying cry. We carry his legacy. There are armies of people who know and love john lewis. He gave us the road map. All we have to do is dare to follow it. Pauley tomorrow and tuesday, john luis will lie in state in the u. S. Capitol rotunda, where he is remembered as the conscience of the congress. Let us march on to victory my father my grandmother my brothers and sisters my friends for going back to school the bbq the lake the beach my place for my neighbors my community my people my country my home for him for her for them for you. [beep] [whoosh] give everyone something to look up to. The allnew highlander hybrid. Toyota. Lets go places. Pauley whats cooking at the famous restaurants run by danny meyer these days is a far cry from what it was just a few months ago, which is causing meyer himself no end of distress. As Martha Teichner now shows us. I miss people, i miss smiling. I cant smell the smells of restaurants. For danny meyer, after four months here, the connecticut countryside, no matter how beautiful and safe from coronavirus, is one long reminder that its not new york city. I cant hear the clanging dishes and glasses and the sound of camaraderie that you get in restaurants. I miss that. I miss seeing our staff members. Reporter his longings, their longings, scrawled on the paperedover windows of his michelinstarred gramercy tavern like eulogies for the onceuponatime world before coronavirus. Among the 20 restaurants with danny meyers name attached, some of new york citys toprated and most popular. Meyer closed them all in midmarch, and then laid off all but about 70 of his employees, nearly 2,100 jobs lost. But being let go meant staff qualified for unemployment benefits. It must have been a nightmare. It was only a nightmare on the nights when i slept. Reporter the Union Square Hospitality group, the company hed spent 35 years building. Went from more than 100 Million Dollars in revenue in 2019 to zero, overnight. In the restaurant business, you dont have enough cash flow to get through probably more than a month or two without just running out of money. Shake shack, also founded by danny meyer, got a 10 million federal Paycheck Protection Program loan but gave it back, because as a public corporation, it could raise money to stay afloat from other sources. Not so the privatelyheld Union Square Hospitality group. The restaurants kept the ppp loans they got less than fifteen Million Dollar to pay salaries, utility bills, skyhigh new york city rents for who knows how long. Danny meyer calls the money a life line. And so you say to yourself, if i want to be a great employer when this is over, the best thing you can do for people is actually to be in business when its over and to be solvent and that was the really bitter pill to swallow. Reporter so meyer said he wanted to be a great unemployer and created the hugs fund. I gave up 100 of my compensation, gave it to the fund. We sold gift cards for a week. Weve conducted a number of auctions. And at the end of the day, we were able to raise over 1. 5 million and granted out just about all of that so far to people on our now former team as a way of saying, look we didnt stop caring about you. Reporter meanwhile he tries to figure out what hospitality will look like for the Union Square Hospitality group in an inhospitable covid world. Ive always believed that hospitality is something that human beings need to give and need to receive. Kind of like a hug. Reporter sorry, no hugs allowed anymore. Everything about social distancing contradicts danny meyers notion of hospitality. This was a very vibrant and active bar, that could have been two, and sometimes, three peopledeep. Reporter chip wade is president of the Union Square Hospitality group. And our patrons, our loyal guests, would be standing in deep conversations, reconnecting with people. Reporter inconceivable now the bar at union square cafee is currently the staging area for themed sixpacks of wine the restaurant is selling online for curbside pickup. Thats part of the americanwere calling it the americano pack. Reporter a stab at generating at least some revenue, with Indoor Dining still weeks away in new york city. We dont have a playbook for this. Reporter how to secondguess reopening at 25 or 50 of capacity, when break even is more like 80 , and safety is an issue. For guests and employees. This training guide that we put together reporter twentythree pages of small print. Theres a validation and certification that every chef and general manager, and ultimately our employees have to take and pass before we will invite them back to work. Really, a test . There is a test exactly. Reporter the National RestaurantAssociation Says that covid has put at least 20,000 restaurants out of business in this country. So, the big test is how to survive. I see restaurant dining rooms that are staffed by a much more Diverse Group of people. I see restaurants that love you more than they ever did. I see a lot less attitude at front doors. A lot less small talk around the table is the lady still working on her salmon . Stop it. I see authenticity i think its gonna be a while before people say, the thing i really crave is the 18course tasting menu. Reporter danny meyer is nationally known as a leader and innovator. He thinks the covid crisis has exposed an ugly truth that the Restaurant Industry is broken, and now is the time to rethink not only how to social distance restaurant kitchens, but everything about the business model, from employee pay and tipping, to impossibly high rents. Restaurants, he says, are essential to recovery. Both for the economy and forfor life. Theres 660,000 restaurants in this country. You dont understand, if youre a typical american, that our industry employs more people than the Auto Industry and Airline Industries combined. Reporter three danny meyer kitchens have just started cooking for a charity feeding needy new yorkersthats 20 rehires, a start. Wooing the public back is about building trust. Thank you, seth. Reporter and at daily provisions basically highend grabngo. The surprise is inside. Oh reporter theres the personal note. Thanks for visiting, martha, by name. Yes. Hospitality is the key ingredient in the Union Square Hospitality groups recipe for survival. And whats this . So thats our wakeup sauce, fantastic on our breakfast sandwiches. Im going to try it with the sauce. Its our version of the best bacon and egg sandwich that you can get in the city. Mmmmm. Enjoy reporter but of course, whats a recipe, mmm, without a secret sauce . I never thought i would catch myself licking a rubber glove to get the sauce, but i did this isnt about today. This is about the next 10 years. But this is something you can do today. You can make a difference today by filling out the 2020 census. The census impacts hospitals, schools, and public transportation. The 2020 census counts everyone, whether you rent, own, or live at home, including roommates. Taking the census is quick and easy. Its only 10 questions. Shape your future. Start here at 2020census. Gov. You guys have a good day. Pauley the coronavirus is forcing experts to rethink the design of all kinds of public spaces. Including the most private of those spaces. Richard schlesinger takes us behind closed doors. Reporter it is certainly not the sort of thing one mentions in polite company, so forgive us for mentioning public restrooms. But covid is changing them and you are bound to notice before too long. The state of the american restroom. Well, its evolving. Kathryn anthony is the Vice President of the American Restroom Association, and yes, you heard that right. You do what you need to do and come out. Shes an architecture professor who thinks a lot about american restrooms. Theres great room for improvement. And in this era of covid, its more and more important that we all have clean, safe restrooms to go to. Reporter right now, the American Restroom Association believes there are too many surfaces to touch and too little privacy in the privy. These days with covid, you just dont want things spreading from one place to another. Reporter you dont have to be dr. Fauci to see that the current design of the american restroom with all that open space does very little to control the spread of covid. Todays bathroom stalls usually have partitions that conceal only the bare minimum. The idea of partitions that leave open space goes back at least to frank lloyd wright, who championed it in this building in buffalo among others. He thought these restrooms would be easy to clean. At Bradley International airport in connecticut the new bathrooms are private, and touchless, and even feature a light outside the stall to tell you if its being used. Kevin dillon runs the airport theyre known as tush lights. So when you do enter the stall it will activate the system. And it will put a red light over that stall so that someone coming into the bathroom knows that its occupied. Reporter and these new bathrooms arent just more private, they might well be much safer. Scientists have been studying what happens when a toilet is, pardon me, flushed. This animation from the journal, physics of fluids, illustrates what is called the plume. Well, i think that you wanna make sure that, you know microbes arent escaping the toilet when you flush it. Reporter jim walsh is the Vice President of Product Marketing at the American Standard company, where they are racing to figure out how to eliminate the plume. So what do you do to combat that . Its all about the velocity, angles, and design of the toilet thats receiving it that limits the splash. The plume project is a work in progress, but for now businesses are doing what they can to make restrooms safer. This movie theatre in south haven, mississippi uses police tape to block off every other urinal so men can be socially distant. But bigger businesses need bigger plans. So obviously, this is our our core business. But everyone that comes here uses the bathroom. Reporter Jeffrey Hamilton runs the mohegan sun casino in uncasville connecticut. Before he could allow gamblers back in he knew he couldnt have people taking a chance in here. If you think about a bathroom you cant control who stands next to you. Thats out of your control. So what you do is you prevent someone from standing next to you. Reporter every other urinal is blocked off here too the restrooms are cleaned frequently by attendants. Theyve also been trained to gently scold patrons who might try to leave without washing their hands. How do people shame people into washing their hands . Just a reminder, right . So youre in the bathroom. You you walk out. Like, hey, dont forget you dont dont forget to wash your hands. I tell you the mother used to do. Yeah, exactly. And ill tell you 100 of the time people turn around. Its fun to joke about this stuff. But i gather talking to you i mean, this is something that you consider important for your business. Right you need to make you need to create an environment and a business where people feel safe. The rush to convert restrooms has been good for business at the American Standard company. Theyre developing all sorts of new touchless devices. It incorporates the flush touchless here. And it washes it and scours the inside of the urinal itself. Theyre looking at new, deeper sinks to control splashing and they are putting antimicrobial substances in their sinks and toilets. And Vice President james walsh sees a Brighter Future for bathrooms. Will they be nicer than the bathrooms of today . I think they will. There is nothing simple about battling a pandemic that spreads so easily. So it is probably inevitable that as covid becomes a fixture of daily life, it will change the fixtures of daily life. When you need your bank, capital ones toprated app is right here.

Pauley the americans with pauley president trumps dispatch of federal agents, first to portland, oregon, and then to other cities, has touched off an intense legal and political debate. David martin has our sunday journal. What are you doing . Use your words. What are you doing . Reporter video of men in camouflage snatching a protestor off the streets of portland, oregon, set off a pandemic of confusion and outrage. What is going on . Who are you . Confusion about who these men are and outrage at president trumps threat to do the same in other cities. Were looking at chicago too and were looking at new york. Look at whats going on. All run by democrats. All run by very liberal democrats. To that, the democratic mayor of chicago, lori lightfoot, says she would welcome federal help to fight crime, but wants no part of what she sees on the streets of portland. We dont need federal troops. We dont need unnamed secret federal agents roaming around the streets of chicago. The agents in portland they look like soldiers. In fact, they are Border Patrol agents far from their usual mission of going after drug smugglers along the mexican border. They are under the command of acting director of Homeland Security chad wolf. These officers are not military. They are civilian Police Officers. These Police Officers are not storm troopers. Theyre not the gestapo as some have described them. Theres been a tremendous, a tremendous amount of false information out there. Mark morgan, head of customs and border protection, provided a citizens guide to the insignia on their uniforms. Border patrol. Clearly police. Its marked on the front and the back, clearly, every single agent. As portlands protests continued in the aftermath of George Floyds death, the Trump Administration moved in to protect federal buildings from vandals. These individuals carry lasers, baseball bats, explosive fireworks, metal pipes, glass bottles, accelerants and other weapons all targeting federal facilities and federal Law Enforcement. There are plenty of protestors who do not fit that description, women who call themselves the wall of moms. And Naval Academy graduate Christopher David who stood his ground, but did not appear to threaten, the federal agents. They kept hitting me and he eventually hit my hand and broke it. I needed to stay as calm as possible. I had no idea what these guys were capable of. Even the mayor who doesnt want these federal agents in his city got hit with tear gas. I saw nothing that provoked this response. The mayor calls it urban warfare. Paul rosenzweig who served in the department of Homeland Security,dhs, under republican president george w. Bush calls it unprecedented. Never have i seen it before where the federal government has imposed its will on the state and says, were going to do this mission whether you want us here or not. Its unprecedented. Is it legal . It is probably on the borderlines of legal. The department was created in the anxious days after 9 11 when another attack was feared. Terrorist attacks by al qaeda or a Nuclear Weapon or a biological threat. Never did we contemplated that it was, that they would actually be used against american citizens. And thats where the authority has been stretched by all recognition. And heres what most people dont know about dhs. The department of Homeland Security has more Law Enforcement resources at its disposal than the rest of the federal government combined. This is kind of the first time that the American Public is seeing the the reality of that. Acting dhs chief wolf, who traveled to portland to inspect the damage, says it is all about protecting federal property. But in addition to tear gas, there is more than a whiff of politics in the air. The acting secretary has chosen to essentially, declare war on, a segment of the american populace. Its transparently a political exercise. Transparently political. What do you mean . This is i think, clearly part and parcel of president trumps ongoing, political effort to demonize the left, to try and make this election about cultural issues, and to scare the American Public into voting for him. However the battle of portland ends, there is Something Else at stake. What does it do to the image and reputation of the department of Homeland Security . This incident is going to do lasting damage to the department. I think that the department is a necessary component of our National Security apparatus. This is going to do nothing but give ammunition to those who think of the department as a rogue police force that ought not to exist. Pauley in years past, a summer song from jimmy buffet suggested carefree days under the palm trees with refreshing tropical breezes. This summer, not so much. As we hear from tracy smith. Reporter for any of the past 40 summers, you could find Jimmy Buffett standing on a stage somewhere. Playing with his coral reefer band. Son of a sailor, i went out on the sea for adventure son of a son of a sailor. Reporter of course this year he is stuck at home and as high high and dry as the rest of us. Reporter you have been talking about taking a summer off for, what, 40 years now . Yeah. This isnt quite what i had in mind. But you know, make lemonade out of lemons. The interesting thing is with all of the tragedy and the serious things that are going on, having to deal with it and i talk to a lot of people, do you find Silver Linings in this . Thats what were doing for families and for bands. Reporter here is how he has been using some of his time in quarantine doing online concerts often for first responders. Theres ships on my horizontal and a beach nearby. Historically you think about it, in times like this you still have to have a little fun. You still have to have a rest from what is going on. And inew that that was the case because a lot of Health Care Workers and doctors and all, i know for a long time have used my music in Emergency Rooms to calm down. Reporter lately he has shared new music. His justreleased album, life on the flip side, is already drawing rave reviews. Out here conflict and chaos completely subside im steerin back to where i came from back to slack tide. And songs like this. Out of conflict and chaos, im staring back to where i come from, back to slack tide a slack tide is that moment just before the tide turns. When the water is calm and the world seems to take a beat. Turn our feet into flippers theres something about the natural process of the world and the universe that allows you the time to kinda take a breath. And it seems that a lot of people arent doing that now. And if you just its not, youve got to solve every problem, or like everything everybody else does, but Everybody Needs to take a little breath. So thats one of the underlying kind of messages in these songs. I wish the whole wide world could swim along at slack tide the song was written well before the current political storm. But it seems all the more appropriate now. Thank you very much. Ts the first time i have done that in public . Seriously . Thats awesome. I thought that would be a good one. I agree. That was beautiful. Lets go back. This is in your first new album in seven years. Now, i know what you have been doing part of the last seven years because i was with you for part of it. A lot. Nd this is what took up so much of his time. Welcome to our this is a cbs news special report. Im Margaret Brennan in washington. Were coming to as a historic moment is about to happen in selma, alabama. The casket of longtime congressman, john lewis, a lion of the Civil Rights Movement is at brown chapel a. M. E. Church and will soon travel across the Edmund Pettus bridge. That site is where lewis was beaten bloody by state troopers on what became known as bloody sunday in 1965 as he led civil rights demonstration. The televised violence that happened headline build support for the 1965. Voting rights acting. I want to go to cbs news anchor and National CorrespondentMichelle Miller in selma, right near that brinj. Michelle, on that day, in march, 1965, lewis and those marching with him had no idea what they were about to face until they got about halfway across, and they saw that wall of Law Enforcement and the troopers who would beat him bloody. You knew him growing up, and i wonder what youre thinking today. Reporter im thinking so much. Im thinking of what he meant to so many people. As i sit here at the base of this bridge, and i was trying to reflect, had i ever been here before . Because ive talked about it, ive seen it, but ive actually never been to selma, alabama in my lifetime. And so the memories are so strong, not just for me, but for many of the people lining the street here, broad street, just to my left, rows of people. I would say not the crowd that you might expect. Certainly the pandemic has kept many people from coming out. So michelle i just want to reporter but i dont mean to cut you off but i want to quickly point out to our viewers we are going to listen in now to congresswoman terry sewell, john lewis as a mentor. I want to beginning by,ing this the lewis family, thank you so much for sharing john with the world. Thank you for accompanying john to selma one last time. But even more importantly, thank you for sharing him over and over again. Our nation is better off because my life is better. Is. Selma is better. This nation and this world are better because of john robert lewis. So, thank you, family. Thank you to his dedicated staff. Thank you to all those who loved john johns love was unique. You felt it radiate. I miss him dearly but we are so blessed to have been touched by his greatness. He will forever change selma and this nation. On bloody sunday in 1965, john was confronted by Alabama State troopers and their dogs. They beat him with billy clubs, fracturing his skull. But john was determined to fight for equality and justice. Putting his own life on the line in the service of others, and a Brighter Future for everyone. John crossed bridges so many times, insisting that our nation live up to the ideals upon which it was founded. As he always said, he gave a little bit of blood on that bridge. As always, john was humble. His humility rang true. As he takes his final march, that final crossing, john bridged the gaps that so often divided us, our Political Parties working every day for a more just and equitable america. My heart is full, knowing john is crossing that selma bridge today in his final march, his final march, that final crossing, so different from the first, speaks to the legacy he leaves behind and the lives that he has changed. Its poetic justice that this time, Alabama State troopers will see john to his safety. They will accompany him on his last trip over the selma bridge and on to montgomery, where he will lie in state at the capitol. John has left this earth, but his legacy remains on. And we continue to benefit from his lifes work. Hes laid out the blueprint for us to pick up the baton and continue his march for Voting Rights, for civil rights, for human rights. John believed firmly that the best days of our nation lie ahead of us. I hope his passing causes us to rededicate ourselves to getting into good trouble, necessary trouble. Cant you hear him . Never give up. Never give in. Keep the faith. Keep your eyes on the prize. For john and our nation, lets make him proud. applause ladies and gentlemen, please welcome gospel recording artist kristin glover. Precious lord take my hand. Lead me on and let me stand. I am tired, i am weak. And i, i am worn. Through the storm and through, through the night. Lead me on through the light take, take my hand precious lord and lead me home. When my way grows dreary precious lord, linger near. When, when my life is almost gone. Hear my cry, hear, hear my call. Hold my hand hold my hand, lord, let thou fall. Take, take my hand, precious lord. Lord, and lead me home lawz. Please welcome for our prayer the pastor of the historic tabernacle church, otis gulliver. God of our silent tears thou who has brought us thus far on the way. Thou who has by thy might led us into the light keep us, in our path we pray. Most gracious father, we come before your presence this morning, referencing you as our god, understanding it is you who has made us, and not we ourselves, that we are the sheep of your pasture, and it is in you that we live, move and have our being. We thank you for this day. We thank you for life and another opportunity to serve you this day and live out your purposes in the world. We thank you, lord, for this occasion as we have assembled ourselves here to give thanks to you for a life well lived. Thank you for congressman john lewis. Thank you, father, for his legacy, his legacy of being a freedom fighter, his legacy of being a foot soldier for justice. The legacy of being a servant of humanity. As he walked humbly with you and as he always remembered his roots, and always strived so that this world could be a better place, a more equitable world, a world that is more just and more righteous. Thank you for his service to humanity. Thank you, lord, that he was willing to get in the way. Thank you that he was willing to stir good trouble. Thank you for his voice, the voice that will resonate in our hearts and minds for years and generations to come. Thank you for his message. Thank you, lord, for using him, for such a time as this, to bridge divides and help us become a more perfect union. I pray this morning for his family. I pray, lord, that you will comfort them as only you can, that you were undergird them with your strength and grant them your grace. I pray for your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts and their minds through christ jesus our lord. And, lord, i pray that we who are still remaining, who still have blood running warm in our veins, that we, too, will stand for justice, that we will stand for righteousness, that we will lift our voices for you, lift our voices for the calls that is just and right. Until we hear your welcome voice say well done, good and faithful servant. As congressman lewis crosses the alabama river, we rejoice today knowing that hes already crossed the jordan river, and hes now resting in your presence. In jesus mighty name, we pray and ask all these things. Amen. Amen. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the structured program. We just have a few notes that we need to give everyone. First and foremost if we can just show some. Brennan youve been listening in to some prayers and memorial to congressman john lewis, who passed away at the age of 80, and all this week, his legacy, his life, will be celebrated with about six days of formal ceremony. Youre watching what is happening in selma, alabama, today. And just to remind everyone, as we heard the speaker of the house refer to john lewis, she called him the conscience of the congress, she called him, the titan of the Civil Rights Movement, and that is why he is being given this sendoff, to remember where we are as a country. And i want to reflect on that with our colleagues today. Michelle miller, our cbs correspondent and anchor, who is on the scene there in selma. I want to bring you into the conversation, michelle, because what we know that were waiting to see is a reenactment, in some ways, that final crossing, of what happened in 1965, that bloody sunday, when john lewis led marchers from that church where we were just looking, from the brown chapel, where those marchers were organizing at the time to prush, to repeal these jim crowera restrictions. And he was ultimately successful. He went on to have a 33year career in congress, and were celebrating his life, michelle, but i wonder what it is like to be there on the ground at this moment. Reporter well, i have to point out what you said, what you asked me earlier, and that is a level of context to a story. I mean, progress is his legacy. You think about what took place in 65. You think about them wanting their Voting Rights. They wanted to be enfranchised. Back then, selma, the city of selma, had a majority African American population, and, yet, they were less than 5 of registered voters. And so this was a push to ensure not only the rights of all African Americans in this nation, but lets just start here. Think about the fact that you have a black mayor here. You have a majority black city council here. And the congresswoman from the state of alabama in this district, the first African American woman to represent alabama in the congress came from selma, alabama. You think about all of those things, and all those are a direct connection to congressman john lewis. So he means everything to the people who have lined the streets here along broad street. They are ready to watch this man being celebrated for that commitment to giving them what they did not have. And it was an effort that he always talked about, an effort of walking in his shoes to understand we may not be where we want to be, but we certainly are much better off than we were in 65. Brennan and we know that chapel, that church, the First American methodist episcopal church, john chapel, is about 10 blocks from where you are, and that is where the procession will head. I want to bring into the conversation, our Bob Schieffer who covered those historic moments. And i know, bob, you just five years ago, walked across the Edmund Pettus bridge. Alongside lewis. Bob, what was that like . And i think we should remind our audience what the petus bridge is named after. And that is a confederate who was a senator and a grand dragon of the ku klux klan, the symbolism of that. Reporter well, that Martin Luther king knew that, and that was part of the reason that he picked the pettus bridge to have this march. He wanted that to be a symbol of where they had come from and where they were going. And, margaret, we cannot overemphasize how important this march was. In 1965, congress was very reluctant to pass a voters rights act. But after this march and the bloody demonstration that happened there, after that, members of congress and the American People were so repulsed by what they had seen, that in a matter of days, they passed the 1965 civil rights act. And when that happened, it changed everything. It changed the south. It changed the country. When barack obama was inaugurated, he whispere whispeo john lewis ear, im here because of you. And he was right about that. Brennan you know, we talk a lot right now about the moment were in, bob, and the power of symbols. And the idea that Edmund Pettus name is still on that bridge. And im looking at pictures of it with rose petals strewn across it waiting for john lewis to cross. And yet, it was john lewis, alongside congresswoman terry sewell, who we just heard from, who wrote in a piece back in 2013, he didnt at the present time renamed. He didnt want his name on that. He said you cannot rename that bridge any more than we can erase this nations history of racial intolerance and gender bias. Changing the name of the bridge would compromise the historical integrity of the Voting Rights movement. He wanted us to remember it. Reporter he did. He told me that himself when i walked across the bridge with him that day in 2015. He wanted people to remember what had happened there, and what was going on there. You know, john lewis, it was margaret, it was one of the most amazing experiences ive had in in all the years that i have been here with cbs, to stand at the top of that bridge and to have john lewis tell me, we didnt know what was going to happen when we got there. We knew there was going to be violence. And john lewis went to his death not knowing how he got from the bridge to the church where he finally wound up that day. He was the first person hit. He went down. He was badly beaten. He lost all memory. He told me, i thought i had died on that bridge. Brennan incredible. Incredible, bob. Im, literally, getting goosebumps as youre retelling me that story. I want to i know on standby is cbs jamelle bouie. And, jamelle, we were talking with michelle what this moment means and what the baton is that has been passed on to the next generation. And i think its significant that were not just talking about the passing of a civil rights icon, but what happens next . The last time the public saw john lewis was standing in black lives matter plaza. Do you see this as the modern incarnation of what he was trying to do . Reporter i think so. I think the thing to remember about john lewis, especially when he was with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the early 60s, is that his that group, his allies in that group were sort of on the far edge of the Civil Rights Movement, meaning they did the things the member establishment figures of the movement werent necessarily willing to do. The freedom rides, for example, what we look back on now, and think of them as being very much part of the entire process, at the time, leaders like the southern christian leadership conference, other civil rights leaders, were very apprehensive about the decision to hop on buses and go directly into the jim crow south, that lewis was doing something that in some sense was not just transgressive for the segregated south but transgressive in the movement. It was very dangerous. When we look at the black lives Matter Movement today, in doing things that are controversial, that arent just controversial to their opponents, obviously, but within sort of Civil Rights Movements, i think its worth thinking about lewis as very much occupying a similar space when he was a young man. Brennan and what were looking at now, for our viewers, you are seeing a horsedrawn cart, known as a caisson, which will carry the casket of john lewis, is being prepared now, as you can see. And it is just that caisson that will cross the bridge, as we watch in justment a few moments, as you can see there, preparing to do just that. And, jamelle, while you were speaking, we were showing images of a young john lewis. And he was quite young. In that march on washington, he was just 23 years old. Thats incredible to think that he had such conviction at such a young age. Reporter yes. I think thats something the Civil Rights Movement has so its so much part of our National Narrative now that its sometimes easy to forget what happened and what those people did. These were many of them were very young people. They you know, john lewis was the son of alabama share croppers. They came from those kinds of backgrounds, and they, with determination, with conviction, with faith, transformed not just the south but the entire world. Its not for nothing, right, that while at the same time the Civil Rights Movement was happening, we were also having the push against colonialallism in africa, in southeast asia, and those people as well looked to the Civil Rights Movement, looked to people like john lewis for inspiration in fighting against colonial powers, in fighting against apartheid in south africa. This was an example for the entire world. Brennan i want to go now to capitol hill, and cbs news Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes, who is standing by. Nancy, lewis served for 33 years in congress. How do his fellow lawmakers remember him . Reporter well, you know, margaret, its interesting. For someone who cemented his place in history from the time he was 21 years old, what every lawmaker ive spoken to has said about him is that he had such humility. They say hes someone who understood the power of the spotlight, and certainly used it when necessary, but that he didnt crave the spotlight and that, in fact, he often shared it with others. Terry sewell, who spoke this morning, talked about t fact that there was never a time when she was in the same room with him or at an event that he didnt point to her and bring her up and say, this is terry. This is terry from selma. You have to meet her. And she talked about how much that meant to her as a young representative to have that stamp of approval. The other thing that so many lawmakers have mentioned is just his determination. You know, 33 years that he was here in congress, he went back to the Edmund Pettus bridge every year on the anniversary to reenact that march across the bridge. He brought democrats. He brought republicans. He brought top journalists, like Bob Schieffer, because he wanted congress and the country to remember what had happened there. He didnt think that the achievements that he had gained were set in stone. He knew that there was more to be done and that bringing the publics attention back to that site year after year would help him to get that message across. He even went there when he was sick with cancer, managed to make it back to that spot to cross the bridge one more time. Brennan and its such a great point. In the middle of a pandemic, put on a mask, and came and stood in that square to make the point. You are watching a picture now of a military honor guard carrying the flagdraped casket of congressman lewis. As you can see, and an acknowledgment of just where we are at this moment in our country, all of them are wearing masks. I think it is worth pointing out that that is something that the family has acknowledged in asking those who want to pay respects not to travel, to acknowledge what is happening in our country right now. It is a local ordnance to wear a mask,sh, but it is also very much a problem in the state of alabama, what is happening with their infection rate right now. But still, you have the crowd watching. And i want to listen in as they pay their respects. Left wheel, left sidestep. March. Forward march. Left wheel, left sidestep, march. Forward march. Brennan you are watching now, the caisson, the horse carrying the flagdraped coffin of congressman john lewis, as he begins for the final time the 10block trek from brown chapel to the Edmund Pettus bridge. He is, one final time, going those same 10 blocks that he did on that day in march 1965 that became known as bloody sunday. And there in selma is our Michelle Miller, who joins us now. And, michelle, you know, it is incredible the symbolism here, the military honor guard, and i know that Alabama State troopers will be there on the other side of that bridge as part of this procession, as part of this memory. And thats incredible
