Governor cuomo asked him to do it because we has such a baby face and so young at heart. A certified young person. Ast age 51, i hope hes connect with actual young people. Lets hope that message hes giving is effective. He sort of picked up on what jon lapook said that dont kill grandma. Wear your masks. It not only saves you but people you love. Very important message. Were going to begin with the effects of Hurricane Sally. It can already she can already be felt this morning as she bears down on the gulf coast. The storm weakened overnight but forecasters warn it could be a category 1 when making landfall tomorrow. The gulf coast is already seeing intense waves there. Forecasters say the biggest threat from the slowmoving storm could be an immense amount of rain. That means a lot of rain. We begin in mobile, alabama, wither lead national correspondent. There is David Begnaud. Good morning to you. We see the rain already. Good morning. Things have really died down in mobile. Thats consistent with this storm which has weakened and slowed down. This sucker is barely moving at 2 Miles Per Hour. I was told that it is going to be recorded as one of the slowest storms on record for this part of the gulf coast. But heres the major threat. Its the rainfall. It could produce up to 20, maybe 24 inches of rain in this area of mobile, which would are historic flooding. This is what sally looks like from above. One of noaas Hurricane Hunter planes flew over the storm yesterday. Everything is scary now. There are thousands of people like janet ryan who have packed up and left their home. Packed up what i need for maybe a couple of weeks because i dont know how much water there will be here. Reporter the biggest concern now is how much water the storm is going to dump on the gulf coast. Forecasters say it could be more than two feet of rain in some parts of the region. There are lowlying roads already under water in parts of mississippi. The National Weather service is warning the flooding could be historic. From mississippi to florida, people are preparing. Were staffing up and making sure that Everybody Knows as much as we know to be ready for this storm. Reporter thats andrew gilich, the mayor of biloxi, mississippi. So far, no mandatory evacuation orders in place there but hes telling everyone, watch this thing. Now is the time to be paying attention to the data and to the information. I guess thats the main thing about weather. Its chaos. Reporter i mentioned how the storm had slowed down. It slowed down so much so that landfall was supposed to happen today, but now its expected to not happen until tomorrow. David, thank you very much. Lets go to meteorologist and climate specialist Jeff Berardelli who is watching this very closely. What are you seeing . Good morning. I dont know if you can walk on water. If you could, you could walk faster than this storm. Thats how slow it is moving. Its going to move only 90 miles in 36 hours. Moving forward right now at 2 miles an hour. The storm hasnt strengthened much. Its waeeakened a bit because o dry air. Winds are 85 miles an hour. If you think weve been here before, we have. Weve seen these really slow moving storms like harvey. And one of the reasons for it is Climate Change. And warming world, forward speed has decreased by 16 near land. And in the future, rainfall rates are expected to increase by at least 14 , maybe double that. There is the forecast track from the National Hurricane center. Making landfall probably some time during the day tomorrow. Thats how slow it is moving as a cat 1 storm. Probably just to the west of mobile bay. Rainfall will be phenomenal. Could be devastating. Two feet. And we told you it could be 30 inches. Now the National Hurricane center saying that that is possible. In addition, storm surge is going to be a huge issue. If the storm moves just west of mobile bay, that will funnel and force the water into mobile bay. And its got nowhere to go but up. Watch out for devastating storm surge. A bit further towards the east and the Barrier Islands will block it. Well see how this works out. But everybody, be careful. Jeff, thank you. Now to the explosion of wildfires in the west. Dozens of people are dead in three states. At least 24 people are missing. In california, more than 3 million acres have been burned, and about 16,500 firefighters are trying to quell the flames. This eerie footage is from the city of talent in oregon where burned out streets look like theyve been paved with pink flame retardant. Jonathan vigliotti is tracking this historic disaster. Reporter crews are using cadaver dogs to search through charred rubble in southeastern oregon looking for any sign of the missing. Oh, my god. Reporter fastmoving flames ripped through nearly half a dozen towns last week giving residents little time to escape. Even heavy duty fire retardant was not enough to save these homes. Like Ashley Britten are seeing the destruction for the first time. Its the worst thing ive ever seen in my life. Its ive seen videos, but its a thousand times worse than i could have ever imagined. Reporter firefighters across the west have been battling shifting winds as they try to gain control of more than a hundred fires. The hazardous smoke is so severe, the National Weather service says it has created a haze across the country. All the way to washington, d. C. And Alaska Airlines announced it was temporarily suspending flights to and from portland, oregon, and spokane, washington, due to the smoke. Dave monroe lives in hardhit talent, oregon. Theres something going on. Thats for sure, man, because its one thing after another. Every summer were burning up. Reporter in california, wildfires have now burned an area larger than the size of connecticut. The states governor, gavin newsom. Ive been on so many fires over the last seven, eight years throughout this state. Weve never been more stretched in our resourcs than over the last month. Reporter and the fire in this area has been the deadliest so far this year in california. It stands at 40 contained. In oregon, mobile morgues have been brought in as the search for at least two dozen people continues this morning. Oh, boy. The story is very tough to hear day after day. Thank you very much, jonathan. We need to know whats going on there. The twin disasters are giving the presidntial candidates one more thing to fight about today. In california, President Trump dismissed Scientific Evidence that Climate Change is behind the extreme weather. Democratic nominee joe biden called him a climate arsonnist who is endangering americans. Weijia jiang has the story. Reporter speaking r ining u smoky haze, President Trump blamed the historic fires on fallen trees that were not cleared out. Good, strong forest management. Reporter the president has pushed the idea for three years. But California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out that only 3 of land in the state is under state and local control. 57 is under the federal government. He said that Climate Change is a much bigger factor. Science is in and observed evidence is selfevident that Climate Change is real, and that is exacer baiting this. Reporter a California National resources official urged mr. Trump to acknowledge it. If we ignore that science and put our has in the sand and think its all about vegetation management, were not going to succeed to get at protecting californians. But President Trump pushed back. It will start getting cooler. You just watch. I wish science agreed with you. I dont think science knows, actually. Its science. Reporter former Vice President joe biden blasted the president who has rolled back climate regulations and downplayed the threat of Climate Change for years. If you give a climate arsonnist four more years in the white house, why would anyone be surprised if we have more america ablaze. Reporter mr. Trump is ignoring scientific recommendations on another front. Holding his second indoor event in a row out west with little social distancing and few masks. This is supposed to be a roundtable, but it looks like a rally. But it is a rally reporter back in washington, the top spokesman for the department of health and Human Services slammed government scientists in a live video he hosted on his personal facebook page. Michael caputo has taken the video down but in it he claimed the cdc included a Resistance Unit and said its scientists havent gotten out of their sweatpants except for meetings at coffee shops to plot how theyre going to attack donald trump next. We spoke with caputo last night who said hes feeling the pressures of the job and dealing with multiple threats against his family, and he claims thats what led to venting on facebook. Happening today here at the white house, President Trump is hosting a signing ceremony as the United Arab Emirates and bahrain commit to normalizing relations with israel. The agreement is a diplomatic success for the presidnt who helped broker the deal. Anthony . Weijia, thank you. The gunman who ambushed and shot two Los Angeles County sheriffs deputies is still on the run. The reward is up to 150,000 and the manhunt is intensifying. The sheriff is lashing out against, in his words, people fanning the flames of hatred. Hes also praising the wounded deputys response as carter evans reports. And we remind you, the video of this shooting may be upsetting. Reporter new video shows the two injured deputies moments after they were ambushed. The 31yearold female deputy shot multiple times is covered in blood and tends to her 24yearold partner. She applies a tourniquet to his bleeding arm. And shes shot in the face. Shes one tough mom. They were both shot in the head and the fact they werent gravely disabled from it is just a miracle. Reporter l. A. County sheriff villanueva says both deputies with just over a year on the job took lifesaving actions to help each other. The female deputy, the mother of a 6yearold, even managed to radio in her location after being shot. Her voice is garbled because she has a wound right in her jaw. But she was able to get off her location. Reporter Surveillance Video from the saturday shooting in compton shows the gunman walked right up to the patrol car and fired several shots at pointblank range before running away. Despite being shot multiple times, the male deputy still tried to go after the gunman. He tried to grab his gun, but his right hand was disaged. Reporter the manhunt is in its fourth day. And the sheriff has 14 investigators working to find the shooter. What is this like to see this happen to two of your own. It breaks my heart. It pisses me off that a coward would ambush them. Theyre just trying to do their job trying to protect the passengers on the mta line. Were going to get them. Reporter for cbs this morning, carter evans, los angeles. And sheriff villanueva is signaling out lebron james to increase the reward money to capture the shooter. Lebron james has been critical of Police Violence and helping lead the protests in favor of racial equality. We need to president that it goes across professions and races and creeds and wants to see lebron james step up to the plate. Interesting how he responds. I dont know what lebron is going to do. Nobody who supports black lives matter or racial equality thinks its ever okay to just walk up to a police car and shoot Police Officers. We all agree. We need Police Officers in this country. We want good Police Officers in this country. Its just a matter of justice and equality and fighting fair. But its you look at that video and that is just as upsetting and outrageous as any of the other things that weve seen. Its very, very i hope they catch him sooner rather than later. Somebody knows who that guy is. The College Football season limited by the covid19 pandemic could see a late comeback. Two Major Conferences that decided not play this fall are now rethinking that move. But one Smaller School has lost more than just a season to the coronavirus. Nikki battiste has the story of one player who is now a presumed victim. Just an infectious personality, an infectious smile and just a good guy to his core. He literally was the light of my life. Reporter 20yearold Jamain Stephens was a defensive lineman at the California University of pennsylvania, a division 2 school that suspended all fall competition in july.

Notre dame touchdown reporter so far 76 division i College Football programs have decided a season is worth it. But not without some setbacks. Weve got positive cases. They got positive cases. Reporter several teams have postponed their opening games after coronavirus outbreaks. Yet two of College Footballs biggest conferences, the pac12 and big ten, are now considering seasons despite previous plans to cancel all fall sports. College football is a mess right now. Reporter Nicole Auerbach is a Senior Writer for the athletic. The conferences desire to kick off the season is driven by lost revenue and increased testing but that may not be enough to justify a return to the gridiron. Your Football Player may be following every single rule. They might be dealing with social distancing in the football facility and then they walk outside of that facility. And theyre going to be around students who are partying, hanging out, playing video games, going to a cafeteria. All of these things. Reporter thats a risk people like Jamain Stephens father say students and their families need to be aware of. Sports give us a release. It gives us freedom from all of this drama. We are not in a state of mind with it all to make the right decision. And as you know, were sitting here right now talking about the loss of my son because we took a risk.

We have a crash the northern 101 and oakland road that has been cleared now. Was reported right after that area. Talked about hurricane laura. You know the song and words. Whats the difference with this came hurricane . Whats your biggest concern with sally . Today the message is theres still time to heed the direction of your local elected officials and Emergency Managers. If youre under evacuation orders please heed those orders. The other thing is you still have time to make final preparations. You can do that quickly and, again, this storm will be a slow moving storm. Lots of surge. And really more importantly lots of rain especially inland. Rain, i think, because of such a slow mover will be the major issue as we move sally through alabama and georgia in next couple of days. Slow moving storms. We keep hearing are the worse. Where are you focus urge efforts on now . The president approved emergency he declarations for louisiana, alabama, mississippi to make sure those governors and Emergency Managers have the resources they need to do dont duct emergency protective measures. Were coordinating with states. We have a significant footprint in louisiana because of hurricane laura. Were well postured. Were leaning into it to make sure we meet all the needs of all those three states. Did you learn anything from hurricane laura the three weeks ago thats helping you deal with sally now . I think no matter if its laura or whatever storm we try to lessons from everything we do. This business of Emergency Management is an imperfect business. So, you know, some things we do really well at and some things we wish we could get to are. We take those Lessons Learned and put them back in. Especially in a covid environment we learn lessons every time we have those challenges. The majority of evacuees going to hotels and theres some problems with that because in some cases you displace the ability to house utility workers. Were making those adjustments and again we work closely with the states and locals and tribes to get that more perfect solution. Lets talk about the covid environment. Its still thriving in this country. Is that affecting femas efforts and affecting your resources . We actually, you know, way back when we were put in charge by the president to manage the Covid Response we knew Hurricane Season was coming. We gave plenty of documents, considerations to locals to have adaptive plans for the covid environment and states locals are doing it. There are challenges with that but im pretty pleased from what ive seen across the country. Whether its wildfires or its hurricanes, states and locals have adapted to the new covid environment when it comes to these national hazards. Listening to you this morning, it sounds like fema has it one control. Do you feel as confident as you sound . Its a team effort. Its my state and local partners, my federal partners. On the ground just not fema personnel but the whole federal family and our private partners. Weve been at this a while now.

Chief washington correspondent Major Garrett went to one important county, major what did you find . Reporter good morning. Bucks county outside of philadelphia is by population the fourth largest in population and like the rest of the state of its bracing for a massive increase in mail in ballots. Hiring more staff and buying more machines. But it needs something else. Doylestown, the county seat of bucks county. Inside voting equipment for all precincts stretches wall to wall. Those machines wont get as much use as usual this year because fewer people will vote in person and more will participate by mail. Different role for everybody. Reporter bob harvie chairs the bucks county board of elections charging to make the alexandria work. We expected there to be more mail in ballot applications but we didnt expect these numbers and obviously the pandemic ramped everything up. Reporter in 2016 the county had about 20,000 requests for absentee ballots. This year it is expecting at least 200,000. Possibly 250,000. Are you prepared to process that mail in mail in ballots if they come in . Reporter the challenging part is dealing with counting them as quickly as we can. Reporter bucks county is increasing its staff from 10 to 25. It had four scanners to counts absentee ballots now it has ten. And it is refurbishing this office to make room for staff and machinery. Absentee and mail in ballot central. Theres going be highspeed scanners here. Ten of them. Can the ballots quickly. Reporter bucks county bought its new equipment from clear ballot a company specializing in vote by mail technology. Weve actually increased our Customer Base by 35 during the pandemic. Reporter Hillary Lincoln is Vice President of marketing. 75 of our pennsylvania counties had to cale their absentee equipment so we helped them do that. Reporter of 13 states expected to be competitive this fall pennsylvania is one of four that does not allow the procession of mail in ballots before election day. Processing means opening envelope, flattening ballots and preparing the home be scanned for counting. All that takes time. Basically any kind of relief to that that we can open any earlier would help us, whether its three days or three weeks. Reporter Pennsylvania Legislature is debating whether to allow processing before election day. But without a change to state law bucks county expects to be counting mail in blapts after november 3rd. Certainly we want to be done before, i would say, within a week. Reporter even in the best Case Scenario a couple of days, maybe three. Yeah. Reporter if this race isnt close the delay might not batter but bucks county went to Hillary Clinton by less than one percentage point. A competitive county in a competitive state with oh, by the way 20 electoral votes that could decide the election. Such an important story. Thank you very much.

Keep it on right here while we share with you a few stories we think youll be talking about today. Scientists report a dramatic loss of ice in arctic. Check this out. This is time lapse video showing a large chunk of ice roughly twice the size of manhattan. Here in new york city, breaking apart from arctics largest remaining ice shelf last month. Scientists say its been shrinking to new lows but the rest of that glacier is now more exposed to sea water and so expected to melt at a faster rate. Rising temperatures due to Climate Change are to blame. Wow. Not a good look at all. I thought that was a typo when you said twice the size of manhattan. 44 square miles. Nothing uplifting about Climate Change. Lets move on. You should send that tape to the white house. Lets move on to the thanksgiving day parade. Science doesnt know, it does know. Look at that video, it knows. Going to get cooler. Speaking about macys. Moving on to something more uplifting. We will get to see the famous balloons, the festive floats and, of course, santa for the macys day parade. Theres a twist. The parade will only be one block long. Let me explain how it will work. Macys has announced a initiative to a television only event this thanksgiving. The parade will skep its traditional route through manhattan so people dont gather during the pandemic. Instead it will be staged in and around macys Flagship Store in manhattans herald square. Performers will be socially distanced and have to wear masks. Cars will be pulling the floats. I thought should we even have a parade if its only a block long . I think theres a lot of money at stake. Thats why. Ill tell you my 24yearold daughter came in last night and was so upset about all this news because we get up every thanksgiving day and watch the parade as a family. Its called tradition. But there are nomaring bands, college bands, wont thereabout. They did cancel the parade for three years during world war ii but this is just scaled down one.

Hes got a big plan, but first, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Hurricane sally, she can already be felt this morning as she bears down on the gulf coast. It could produce up to 20, maybe 24 inches of rain in this area of mobile. I dont know if you can walk on water because if you could, you could walk faster than this storm. That is how slow it is moving. Fire in this area has been the deadliest so far this year in california. In oregon, mobile morgues have been brought in as the search for at least two dozen people continues. California President Trump dismissed Scientific Evidence that Climate Change is behind the extreme weather. Democratic nominee joe biden called him a climate arsonist.

I still think its very motivating and cute family. Very sweet. The latest on Hurricane Sally as it bears down on the gulf coast. Right now she is a category 1 but thats still a lot of hurricane with a maximum sustained winds of 85 miles an hour. Its expected to make landfall in alabama sometime tomorrow. Take a look at these incredible images. This is a hurricane from above, as pilots from noaa flew through the storm yesterday. Our David Begnaud is in mobile, alabama, with more opinion when we saw you last hour, you said its a slowmoving storm which explains why its still raining and youre Still Standing in the rain. What tea like . Reporter bingo, good morning, my friend. Since we last saw you at 7 00, the rain has slowed down but the hurricane as you said has slowed down, moving at 2 Miles Per Hour and not long before i came on the air i heard from David Parkinson our weather power proand meteorologist said this is one of the slowest moving storms on record in this part of the gulf coast. Theyve already canceled a quarter of the pooil production happening in the gulf. The good news is the storm has weakeneded but it could potentially sit over areas of the gulf coast like mobile, where we are this morning. This area is prone to flooding. Theyre looking in mobile at a potential storm surge of nine feet, and they could get, its a possibility, of getting up to 20, maybe 24 inches of rain, which would cause historic flooding in this area. Along the gulf coast, some people have chosen to get out and leave. There are not any major mandatory evacuations going on, but again, the biggest threat from this storm will be the water, a combination of the storm surge and the rain falling from the sky. Tony . Slow is not good when it comes it a hurricane. David, thank you very much. Sally is expected to make landfall sometime tomorrow. The storm has weakeneded over the last 24 hours and is not expected to restrengthen into a category 2 before it hits somewhere near alabama or the alabama mississippi border. The latest track from the National Hurricane center shows it lingering in alabama for more than 24 hours, and eventually weakening into a tropical storm, and then a tropical depression, before moving into georgia sometime early friday. For the first time, Scientists Say there may be signs of life on venus. It exists in tiny molecules in the atmosphere. Researchers dont know how it got there, or what it means, but its drawing new attention to earths nearest planetary neighbor. As Holly Williams reports, its a world that couldnt be more different. Reporter its surface is hot enough to melt lead and cloaked in clouds of toxic gas, but scientists now believe something could be alive on venus, or actually just above it. Profess professor sara seager with International Scientists spotted a molecule phosphine. It leaves us with equally crazy ideas, one is that there is unknown chemistry and the other one is theres some possibility there might be some kind of lifeproducing phosphine on venus. On earth it is produced by bacteria and sometimes smells like rotting fish, an unromantic discovery on the planet named after the roman goddess of love. Venus was the subject of much early space exploration, but the sulfuric acid in its atmosphere literally eats through spacecraft. Mars 2020. Reporter and focus switched to earths other neighbor. I think of venus as the neglected sibling. Reporter why neglected . Because so much attention is on mars. Reporter that could now change, with a tantalizing discovery that might be a sign of life. For cbs this morning, im Holly Williams. Ill do venus today. You remember the book men are from mars, women are from venus who knew they were competing. Somethings going on. I dont think ill be moving there any time soon. The atmosphere eats through spacecraft. And smells like dead fish. Something i always crave. I think ill stay here on 57th street. Its really nice in here. President trump graded his own Coronavirus Response in a conversation with journalist bob woodward. Ahead, what do you think that grade is . Well explain.

The clip comes from april from one of the 18 interviews that woodward conducted with the president for his book rage publ woodward asked the president to grade his Coronavirus Response and the president said quote i give ourselves an a. But the grade is incomplete and ill tell yu. If we come assault weapon vaccine and therapeutics and i give myself an a plus. This comes, of course, as the death toll in the u. S. Approaches 200,000 by far the highest of any country on earth. Bob woodward joins us now from washington. Bob, good morning. Congratulations to publication day. President trump just proannounced your book on fox news boring. You have a quote for the paper back. We have a lot to get to. We want to begin with the grade the president gave himself an a moving up to a plus. He said nothing more could have been done. From your reporting and your research do you agree and what grade would you give the president . Well, i dont think i should give grades, but i can report at the end of january it was laid down to him in great detail that the pandemic was coming and that it was equivalent to the 1918 spanish flu pandemic in this country 100 years ago that killed 675,000 and it was laid out to the president why this is the case the Deputy National security adviser in the white house had sources, medical sources in china where he had worked for the wall street journal for seven years that had these sources had impeccable credentials and laid out exactly what was coming and the president knew this and, for instance, a few days later at the state of the Union Address he said were doing everything we can rather than telling the truth to the American Public about what he had been warned about. Your former reporting partner carl bernstein, watergate fame called these tapes, the tapes tied to your book graver than those watergate tapes referring to the loss of life and importance for history. Do you agree with that assessment . Is this greater than watergate . Its hard to compare. No one died in watergae. 200,000 people have died here. Yes. And nixon was a criminal president. And if you look at the chronology, the authinformation was able to get, the president s job i remember at one point i remember asking President Trump what is that job, how would you define that job . He said the job is to protect the people. He failed to do that. And he could have, i in initial discussion with him in february i thought he was talking about the virus in china. I later learned, unfortunately, it took a number of months the until may that he had been told in january about this. Bob, the president revealed to you that the u. S. Has a secret new Nuclear Weapons system that neither the president of china or russia know about. What was your reaction when you heard that . Well, i did some reporting afterwards and some people said there is something. Its in dispute. One of the key experts i talked to said theres no such weapons system. There are lots of things on the drawing boards. So you dont know whether it actually exists. I do not. And the president insisted that it did. Hes the commanderinchief. But, again, he will say things as we talked that just dont check out. You reported the former director of National Intelligence dan coates couldnt shake the believe that president putin had something on President Trump. Did you come to believe that president putin does have something . Well, you cant know for sure and dan coates now, remember under the new reorganization after 9 11, hes the number one intelligence official in country. He oversees the cia, the National Security agency and they looked through everything because of President Trumps clear affection and reliance on putin and said this just doesnt add up, doesnt make sense. They did not find proof, but for coates the suspicion endured. You know, bob, your spoke at length with the president about race reliegations in this count. He said i dont have to be black to understand the black point of view. You can get the tone and inflection when you heard him. Did you get the sense he unders the pain that black people in this country are going through right now . When i explicitlied asked him, do you see that anger and pain that black people have and particularly for somebody like myself, somebody white privilege, somebody like trump, i said, you know, we got to get out of our shoes and really understand this and trump mocked me. This tape is out. He said boy, youre really drinking the koolaid and just listen to you and he said he did not have that feeling that it was his job to understand somebody elses pain and anger. I know as a reporter its my job to try to do that. I would argue passionately its the president s job. He also says that he doesnt want to create panic and thats one of the reasons why he didnt that he wasnt more forthcoming about what he had been told about this virus. Some people say creating panic can be i had calling card. Lindsey graham said you can win, mr. President , if you go with the law and order strategy that he seems to be mounting right now. And there are ads right now running where he says, you know, america is burning literally and accusing biden supporters of that. Do you think that the president likes creating chaos . At one point in book Jared Kushner says controversy elevate the conversation. That he likes being disruptive. Yeah. Isnt that really interesting that this whole idea controversy elevate the message. In other words, when the president says its the best economy in world, the best economy that america has ever had, thats not true. It was a good economy before the pandemic. But it was not the best in the 1950s and so forth. It was better. Bob, i want to get in this. Tony just said hes already said your book is boring. Hes tweeted about that. He called you a whack job. It was a hit job. The book is fake. Do you think his words on social media is more important than the facts than youre telling in book . You know, i was thinking about this last night. And what am i trying to say in this book . Im trying to say to people this is what i found. I know lots of trump supporters, business people, financial advisors, workers, the computer. Thank you very much. Well be right back. I apologize. Were getting the computer wave off here. Cups, plates, burgers, chips.

Thats country superthe star maren morris performing her hit song. Shes having a transformational year. Her song has hit the top charts. Shes the most nominated female artist at this years Country Music academy awards. She has four more nominations including female artist of the year and album of the year. As of this spring morris sanu mom. We caught up with her from her home in nashville where shes been quarantining during the pandemic. When she last performed live in front of some 60,000 fans at the houston rodeo in early march, maren morris was nearly nine months pregnant. Honestly i feel great. Hes kicking. I think well be okay. And she was. But the last hours of morris pregnancy would be challenging. It was pretty gnarly at the end. Nu you were in labor for 30 hours . Yes. Then i ended up with a c section because he was breach. Her son with her husband ryan hurd was born later in march. Then the pandemic closed down the world and morris found herself battling postpartum depression. Im kind of coming through the tunnel now. I feel back to normal. But, you know, fortunately i was able to do like phone therapy during the pandemic and people that loved me hey okay if youre drowning right now theres help. Did you feel like you were drowning at times oh, yeah. Youre trying to become a new mother and good parenter and do everything right and you just feel like you suck at every level and then the one thing that i always felt like i have a handle on is my music and to not be able to tour and have to furlough my band and crew it was just lot. Morris may have had to postpone her 2020 tour, but it didnt stop her song the bones from take off. Every time i got in my car this summer and turned on the radio there you were. Sorry. No, no. I was rooting for you. I thought wow this is really great. You saw the last time i ever got to play it live at the houston rodeo. The bones would spend 19 weeks at number one on the country chart, breaking the record for a female solo artist. I think a lot of it was maybe the message behind the bones taking on a larger theme beyond love song, the house dont fall when the bones are good. A lot of people reached out to me and said thats our country right now. Morris has been outspoken about the state of the country on social media. And she has a black lives matter sign in front of her home. Are you at all worried being open about your response to this in Country Music world . Im not woerld. Its not political. Its not partisan to be like, these people need justice. There needs reform. Its a human issue. Its not harmed me in any career way. People need to know what side youre on and i want to be on the right side of history not the wrong. Morris broke out in 2016, behind her hit song my church. This is where you did your writing . Yeah. When i spoke her that year for cbs sunday morning she took me in studio where she collabora collaborated with her producer. It made so much sense im a 90s baby in my 80s mercedes. He died last year of brain cancer. I thought what am i going to do without my friend and also like musically like who am i without him in this world . Im kind of enjoying the feeling through the dark, trying to find the light right now. Have you started to answer that question of who you are without him . No. I know that hell always be a part of my sound. It must be kind of scary. I think i made the best art and decisions in my life when im scared. I can always tell when a song is too comfort zone, like i phone it in. I need to it really challenge me. Thats what i would do with my songs with busby. I dont know what my sound looks like from this day on. I know the lyrics are country but the rest is sort of up in air. Makes it interesting to see what happens. Ill look back at my interview when i finish my third record and ill go you were so confused and so blurry and then all sharpened after you talked to anthony. I cant wait to see what does happen. Busby was 43. This was a real shock. He also produced her second album, coproduced her second album. She is feeling her way through the dark. As she said shes written four songs. I heard one of them. I cant wait. I heard one of them. If they are all in that category she wont have a problem. I love her music. I want to mention the sign on the front yard, that topic overall can be controversial. Not easy to confront that in nashville. Shes not making a calculation, she said this is the way im going with it. You take such a public stand, right. Especially in that lane is very unusual. I applaud her for that. Shes from the day i met her ive been impressed with her. You guys have history. She knows who she is and the minute i met her this girl is going places and in four years you see how far shes come. You was right. She aint done. 55th academy of Country Music awards will air tomorrow night at 8 00, 7 00 central. Maren morris will perform with her band. Tomorrow on cbs this morning well talk with kelse kelsea ballerini. Ahead an inside look at nba allstar Carmelo Anthonys newest fashion collaboration. Hell tell us about his work to give black fashion designers a platform and nba superstar and social activist Carmelo Anthony is launch agnew initiative aimed at highlighting black fashion designers through his fashion label. Anthony a ten time allstar who is a longtime champion for social justice is also known for his style, we could say off the court. His program aims to support black designers with a debut collection. Anthony told us he hopes his new program will give underrepresented design ears platform for years to come. We are black people. We create the culture. How do we think about whats going to happen to us in the black community in five years, from a creative standpoint what does that look like . Thats the question nba star Carmelo Anthony is trying to answer. With a new clothing collection hes calling a black future. Its part of the propel program. The new initiative anthony is launching to support the creative black community and hes calling on 70 emerging design stories make that vision a reality. What was your mission . What was your goal . I didnt know what it was at first. Now we deal with so much trauma daily like all day, all night, always a black and Brown Community weve been affected by that. How do we give people who are dealing with this trauma need an outlet or resources from pelle them forward. It doesnt sound to me eat they are is a one and done for you. Black future is one of the best things ive done. To sit there would those designers on a zoom call. What im trying to create here hasnt been done yet. It wasnt just about designing. We have real conversations about life because a lot of those designers are actually still in those communities thats been affected. How are you feeling as we sit here. There was another incident in the news involving a black man and a Police Officer. Also in the news two Police Officers shot. How are you navigating this . Its hard to wake up, wake up and hear about another tragedy, Police Killing or associate killing the police. Thats just where were at as a country right now. And for the black community were tired of it. We just fed up with it. On the flip side of that to see the two cops who got shot we dont want that either. We dont need that. You wrote a very moving letter in july addressed to young men and women of color. You said its hard for me to tell you not to be afraid when im afraid. What did you snamean . Im afraid of the unknown. I dont know how to keep having these conversations with the younger generation, with my son. I never thought i would have to have this conversation with him at 13. Im fearful of telling him the wrong thing or my emotions being put at the forefront because hell take everything i say and how i say it and hes going to build off of that. It is a conversation no blab parent wants to have with their child but despite the fear, anthony is setting an example for his son by using his voice to speak for change. You know what . Enough is enough. You were recently guest editorinchief of slam magazine. Very powerful. What was your message in the magazine . The message was the time is now. Like my son is on the cover. These are the new voice, the most important voices. This is the future. Our time now is to make a change. Im sure it was a deliberate choice because you were both in a hoodie. I am who i am at the end of the day. My son have it. Hes definitely not, you know, not intimidating anybody. Anthony is no stranger to speaking his mind and opening his heart. Earlier this year he spoke candidly about the challenges he faced after parting ways the Houston Rockets in 2018. At the time he went unsigned for a year before eventually joining the portland trail blazers. You talk very frankly where you said you hit rock bottom and that you got through with the then of kobe and lebron. What did you mean . It was just like oh, this is happening. I never thought this could happen to me. I was so naive about it. So, you know, kobe there was for me when i was talking to him. Lebron there was at times. There were just certain people giving me little nuggets here and there. It came from people who you respected. Came from people i respected but also it came from people i didnt even know too. Youre in portland. Yes. When you went to portland did you think portland would be the place for you, because youre kicking butt in portland. I didnt think that i didnt know what though i. By the time i got forward. I can just the tell you i worked so hard mentally, emotionally, spiritually to get to the point where i was able to accept it. For so long i had disconnected myself from the game because i just felt like the game doesnt love me the way i love the game my more. So maybe its time for me to walk away and thats where it was at. So when i got the call from portland i already knew what i wanted. I was at peace with it. Can we Work Together . Are we going to do this together . Do you want me or need me. Was that an important distinction. That was a very important point. Do you want me or need me. Whats more important . Want. Want. Because if you want me then you will do everything that you have to do to make it work, right . If you need me, yeah i need you, but we can look over here too. So i was very big on them saying we want you hear. We believe in you. Your happy there . Im happy. I get the impression that black excellence not words to you. Its a movement. Its who we are. Its what we have inside of us. We always had black excellence. Now we have our voice, we have a platform and ill continue to bring people along with me. Carmelo anthony, very smart, very thoughtful. He thinks a lot about whats happening in the country. He said im not a politician. He goes im really not even into politics. What im into is my community. Its not to me about democrat or republican its about right or wrong and reminds me of maren morris. Its not about democrat, republican, its about right or wrong and standing in the right place and he feels very strongly about young people. He says theres three words i tell them, lover, hell and right. When you love something you will go through hell to make it right so its love, hell and right. I love that he said at the end he tends to bring people along with him sway real act of generosity. Im used to him when he blade the nuggets. Theres rumors people want him to come back to the knicks. I asked him about that. He said im in portland, happy in portland. A lot of people would be happy to see him come back to new york. Im glad hes happy. Thats main thing. His wife and son live in new york. Thats another reason. Thats tough. Coast to coast thing is hard. They are making it work. All right. Youre watching cbs this morning. Well be right back.
