And a miraculous recovery of a hiker found unconscious on mt. Rainier. How he lived to tell us the story after he was on the brink of death for 45 minutes and doctors revived him. First, heres todays eye opener. Its your world in 90 seconds. We really are in a critical situation today. You must physically distance when you cannot physically distance, Everybody Needs to wear a mask. The u. S. Has now passed 11 million coronavirus cases. You think it would be a good idea if your team would be able to work with the Biden Harris Transition Team . Thats obvious. Of course, it would be better if we could start working with them. Ill help them in any ways that i can. Now, im not planning to suddenly work around the white house. No cabinet position for you . Probably some things i would not be doing because michelle would leave me. Shed be like, what . Youre doing what . 3, 2, 1, zero, ignition. Spacexlaunched four restaurants.

Heaves it down field. It is caught it is caught deandre hopkins, miraculous its murray magic this mornings eye opener is presented by progressive. Making it easy to bundle insurance. Welcome to cbs this morning. Murray magic with capital letters, exclamation point. I was watching because i was waiting for 60 minutes. I didnt think that was possible to score that way. Three defenders on him. Very definition of a hail mary pass. Were going to begin with this. The pandemic is getting worse across the country, but we also have breaking news to tell you about. New hope in the fight against the coronavirus. So as you wake up in the west, were learning preliminary results show a new Coronavirus Vaccine from moderna is 94. 5 effective in phase three trials. The company has been partners with the National Institutes of health. Its not conclusive but it is very encouraging coming after last weeks good news from pfizer. Our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook is following this story. The moderna news was eagerly anticipated after last weeks announcement from pfizer that its Covid Vaccine was more than 90 effective. Moderna hit an even higher mark. Yesterday the Company President got the results from an independent safety board. It took my breath away and i had to catch myself. Reporter among 30,000 participants receiving the twodose mod earn vaccine, there were 95 cases of symptomatic covid. All but five in the placebo arm meaning the vaccine was 94. 5 effective. There were no reports of serious side effects. Moderna shared other hopeful news. All 11 cases of severe covid illness were in the placebo group. Both the moderna and Pfizer Vaccines target the protein. Messenger rna stimulates cells to produce harmless versions of that spike protein triggering an immune response to the virus. No current vaccine uses this technology which is built on decades of research at the nih and elsewhere. Im optimistic that everybody who wants a vaccine will have access to one by april or may of next year. The government says both vaccines will be free and both require two doses. Moderna says 28 days between shots. Pfizer three weeks. Modernas version has one major advantage. It can be transported and stored in standard freezers and refrigerators instead of the ultra cold temperatures required by the pfizer version. That should simplify Vaccine Distribution and administration. We believe our vaccine will be districted in existing infrastructure. We hope that means it will be made available like in local doctors offices that is going to be where people need it most. Moderna expects to request emergency use authorization from the fda within a few weeks. The company stes will have 20 million doses ready for use in the United States by the end of the year and another 40 million to 50 million doses per month in 2021. Anthony . Dr. Jon lapook, thank you. The vaccine news comes as a desperate time. The United States has added around a million new cases of the virus in less than a week. That brings the National Total above 11 million as daily cases rise in 49 states across the country. And with so many cases in such a short time, many hospitals are on the brink of getting overwhelmed. Carter evans is in Salt Lake City where icus are almost full. Carter, good morning to you. How much more can hospitals take there . Well, not much. And thats why doctors and nurses are pleading with people to help them get this virus under control. We spoke with one doctor who says he has patients who still dont believe the pandemic is real. Even though they are in the hospital, diagnosed with the virus right now. He says he has seen more suffering in the last month than he has in his entire career. Covid cases are pushing utahs hospitals to the brink. And things are almost certainly going to get worse, according to dr. Brandon webb. Its like watching a slowmotion train wreck. You know whats coming and it look s horrible. Thats the problem with the mathematics of this. We know whats coming. Were seeing so many cases day over day that, unless definitive steps are taken, exceeding capacity say mathematical inevitability. Many front line workers are already stretched thin by work thats physically exhausting and emotional lly draining. Like nurse katrina. Families are always looking for hope but sometimes theres just not a lot of hope to give them. Reporter grim scenes continue to unfold in el paso, texas, where county inmates were leading bodies into mobile morgue trucks over the weekend. The county judge there says using inmate label indicates the level of staff shortages. More than 200 people have died in that city from covid in the last month. With cases and hospitalizations smashing record, at least 27 states have imposed new coronavirus restrictions on businesses and gatherings in the last two weeks. On sunday in michigan, which saw at least 496 deaths from covid last week, the governor announced a threeweek freeze on Indoor Dining and inperson learning for high school and college students. If we dont take aggressive action right now, we could soon see 1,000 deaths per week here in michigan. Reporter without more targeted restrictions, Hospital Systems nationwide could be just weeks away from their breaking point, according to Infectious Disease expert Michael Osterholm. My worst sphere whfear is wh happen in other countries where people were dying on the streets. People were literally dying in the emergency room of hospitals just waiting to be seen. Thats going to start happening and well see the breadth and depth of this tragedy. The economic fallout from the pandemic is still an issue. Take a look at this line at a food bank outside of dallas. A line of cars spilling out onto the freeway as food for some 25,000 people was distributed over the weekend. Organizers say this was their largest food giveaway ever. Stunning pictures there, carter. Thank you very much. Were joined by dr. Ashish jha, dean of Brown University school of Public Health. Good morning. Thanks for being with us again. As we just heard, modernas vaccine was found to be nearly 95 effective and appears to be more easily transportable than the Pfizer Vaccine. What do you think that means for the months ahead here . Yeah, good morning. And thank you for having me on. This is very good news. We are entering the hardest time of the pandemic. I think the next two, three months are going to be awful across the country. But what the Pfizer Vaccine and the Moderna Vaccine do is give us hope that in a few months this will really start turning around. The light at the end of the tunnel just got a little bit brighter. There are any logistical challenges that concern you about distributing the vaccine . There are. First, its true the Moderna Vaccine is a little easier to transport. Theres still a lot of complicated issues. Weve got to get tens of millions of vaccines out to states, pharmacies, doctors offices. That means a lot of planning. There has not been a lot of that planning happening out of the federal government right now. Theres been. But we need a lot more of that. And we need to hand that off to the biden team who has to pick it up and run with it. Theres a lot of logistical challenges in front of us. How quickly do you think this could get us back to something even close to normal . Yeah, i think were looking at look, even if we have 10 or 20 Million People getting vaccinated over the next few months, until we get to 50 , 60 of the American Population vaccinated, and thats a vast case scenario, april, may, i think were still some ways away from something that will be the new normal. As you said, the next few months look really quite dire. How much worse do you think this can get, and what do we need to do . So, unfortunately, based on all the numbers i am seeing as of today or as of yesterday, it is going to get meaningfully worse than we are in now. The bottom line is hospitals are at capacity and they are still about to get a flood of new patients thats going to be even bigger wave of patients. So im very worried about the next month. We know what we need to do. Everybody needs to wear a mask. Avoid any kind of indoor gathering, and states have to do more on testing. If we can help states do that with some money from the federal government, i do think we can stop this from getting dramatically worse. But some of it is already built in. Michigan instituted a threeweek pause on Indoor Dining and inperson learning. Is that enough or something that needs to be wide spread . I think every state should be following michigans lead right now. Michigan is really doing what is absolutely essential. And its amazing to me that other states are not following. I suspect that this week, we are going to see a lot of other states step up and essentially put in very similar policies because were so behind the 8 ball that weve got to get going. Dr. Ashish jha, thank you for being with us this morning. Appreciate it. Thank you. In cbs news is now projecting the winner of all 50 states in the president ial election and despite joe bidens lead, 306 to 232 in Electoral College votes, President Trump still will not concede. Last night, the president tweeted, i won the election, even though hes behind by more than 4. 5 million votes. Twitter flagged trumps claim noting official sources called this election differently. A day earlier, mr. Trump saluted a rally from his motorcade as thousands of Trump Supporters claimed election fraud. Again, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and none of the president s lawsuits have the potential to change the results, but here we are. Weijia jiang is at the white house. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, tony. And good morning to everybody. President trumps state of denial is delaying the transfer of resources and information. Joe bidens chief of staff said their scientific advisers are meeting with vaccinemakers in the coming days but said they should also be meeting with current Government Health officials. Something the white house tells cbs news is not happening. As President Trump played golf at his club in virginia on sunday, two of the top doctors on the Coronavirus Task force spoke publicly about the importance of working with the biden team. This is not a political issue. This is an issue of Public Health and saving american lives. Its almost like passing the baton in a race. You dont want to stop. And then give it to somebody. You want to just essentially keep going. And thats what transition is. Reporter president elect joe bidens chief of staff said they need to learn more about implementing a vaccine. Our experts need to talk to those people as soon as possible so Nothing Drops in this change of power were going to have on january 20th. Reporter but the white house said details about a vaccine are already available on the cdc website and said there are no plans for the task force to meet with bidens team. The west wing staff appears to be taking cues from the president who, for the first time ever, seemed to acknowledge he lost the election tweeting, he won because the election was rigged. But mr. Trump quickly backpedaled, declaring he wasnt conceding. There is no evidence the election was rigged. The campaign has filed or publicly backed nearly 20 lawsuits with little success. In pennsylvania, on sunday, the legal team dropped a major portion of its federal lawsuit over mailin ballots. Even a win in this case would not change the results. Still, President Trumps baseless claims of fraud are fueling his supporters. Mr. Trump rode through the crowds as thousands marched through the streets of washington, d. C. , on saturday. We are the majority. Reporter while the protests were largely peaceful, as the night wore on, fights broke out between Trump Supporters and counterprotesters. D. C. Police made 21 arrests and four Police Offices were injured while responding to the clashes. President trump plans to end his first term with a crackdown on china. Cbs news has learned that over the next few weeks, the Administration Promises to take what it calls historic actions to protect u. S. Interests like restricting trade and imposing more sanctions. Gayle . Weijia, thank you very much. This morning, we are sharing former president Barack Obamas first interview since president elect biden won the election. He talks to us about his deep concerns over this countrys political divide after americans went to the polls. His longawaited memoir a Promised Land comes out tomorrow. We sat down with mr. Obama for an interview that aired on cbs sunday morning. 72 Million People voted for donald trump. What does that say to you about the state of this country . Well, what it says is that we are still deeply divided. And what it says is that the power of that alternative world view thats presented in the media those voters consume has a lot of pull. Are you worried about that . Yes. Because its very hard for our democracy to function if we are operating on just completely different sets of facts. And were seeing that right now with respect to the election. We cant cooperate. We cant make good decisions. We cant function like a team. And so one of my biggest worries about our democracy Going Forward is, how do we get back to a common base line of facts. You and i can have a disagreement about climate change. Or about the criminal justice system. Or about taxes. But if you deny that the temperature on this planet is getting warmer, just say its just not true, i dont mind you saying, look, yeah, its bad, but theres not much we can do about it or our Economic Growth is more important. You cant deny the facts. And my hope is that we can find mechanisms whereby the truth, once again, is the base line around which we have political arguments. I know we keep talking about the facts. And you look at weijias piece. So shaken by weijias piece. The way that the people are protesting in the streets and the deep divide, what is happening in the country, and how its being fueled is very, very scary. Well, especially when we have a lot of bigger things to worry about right now. We should all be afraid about whats happening to this country. Thats a lot what president obama was saying. Well have more of our conversation with former president barack obama in our next hour, including his take on racism in america. It seems to be alive and well, and how his relationship with Michelle Obama changed after he weather. Much more news ahead. More than 82,000 officially blame boy scouts of america for abuse.

A Staggering Number of people made sexual abuse claims against boy scouts of america ahead of todays deadline to come forward. More than 82,000 alleged victims span generations as young as nine years old, as old as 95. The number of accusations is even greater than those against the Roman Catholic church in the u. S. The boy scouts filed for bankruptcy protection before settling. Erin barnett has the story of one who says his nightmare lasted for years. He had his hand down my pants. He was just 11 years old when a scout leader first assaulted him during a camp out in alabama. Several years later, says another scout leader violently assaulted him when he was around 13 years old. He raped me. I can tell you i struggled with drugs and alcohol until i was 32. And it also caused, took a couple of swings at suicide. I was in so much pain. Gayle one of thousands accusing boy scouts of america of sexual abuse. This may be the largest child Sexual Abuse Scandal in certainly america and maybe the world. Michael foul represents over a thousand former boy scouts. The problem, it was not a few bad apples, it wasnt a number of mistakes, but obviously a systemic failure on the part of the boy scouts from top on down. The Organization Says it intends to set up a Victims Compensation fund and said in a statement, we are heartbroken we cannot undo their pain, adding they are committed to working as expeditiously as possible to provide survivors of abuse with equitable compensation. If we can somehow make the price the boy scouts pay so incredibly painful that systemic changes can happen that will ensure it never happens to anyone else, i think all 80,000 of us would settle for that. He and the other attorneys we spoke with expect to hear from more former scouts, each of them with their own painful stories before the end of the day. Today is the filing deadline. Outside advisers will then review the 82,000 plus allegations. Tony, that process alone of just looking at all these claims could take years. Thank you very much. A hiker that got lost in Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State is on the mend after being brought back to life in what his doctors call miraculo miraculous recovery. He was found unconscious, was disoriented in freezing whiteout conditions. He and the team that saved him spoke to lead National Correspondent david begnaud. Reporter michael is the kind of guy that hikes just about every week, a passion he turned to to overcome drug addiction that nearly killed him. Used to be a very unhealthy, sickly man. I got into hiking, changed my lifestyle. Reporter he was exploring Mount Rainier National Park november 7th when he got caught in freezing whiteout conditions. Did you have time to worry and get scared . I was worried and scared, definitely, but i was taking small steps because i couldnt see anything. That was the last thing he remembers. The next day, rescuers found him, unconscious, but with a pulse. A Navy Helicopter airlifted him to Harbor View Medical Center in seattle where his heart stopped. Cpr was performed on him for 45 minutes, as doctors hooked him up to an ecmo machine which temporarily takes over heart and lung function adding oxygen, removing Carbon Dioxide from a patients blood. Went into cardiac arrest, usually when people are this sick, it is not reversible, but since we could use this technology we could start his heart back up. After two days, she called out to michael and he opened his eyes. I was like oh, crap. I said michael, are you with me . He turned and looked at me, nodded his head like of course i am with you, why would you ask that question. I gave him a big smile. Michael, what are you thinking listening to this . I love all of it.

Detectives in louisiana are investigating a black teenagers death as homicide, his Family Says Police are not doing enough. He was 15 years old, found dead days after reported missing. Family members believe officers didnt take the disappearance seriously because of his race. There was no amber alert, but police claim all procedures were followed. National correspondent jar eek a duncan spoke with the cousins and attorneys. People are angry, people are upset. His cousin says her family wants answers in the 15yearolds death and the investigation that followed. The charles family says he was picked up october 30th by this woman, janet irvin and her 17yearold son. Allegedly picked him up outside his Fathers House in balanced r win, louisiana. Parents say they didnt know her. They say police brushed off concerns and speculated he was at a football game. Do you believe race played a role how this case has been investigated so far . Most definitely. They didnt notify the media, they didnt notify the community. Reporter on november 2nd, his body found in a sugarcane field, 30 minutes from his home. Coroners office says he drowned. And wounds on his face were after his death, likely caused by aquatic animals. According to family attorneys, the water in sugarcane field is shallow. Bodies of water barely go up to your knees. This isnt that he tried to go for a swim. The attorneys say janet irvin and her son since packed up, left their home. Investigators say they questioned individuals believed to have been with him before he disappeared and are actively tracking their whereabouts. Local activist, jamal taylor, helped the family raise 250,000 through go fund me for the family to hire its own investigators and get a second autopsy. I was particularly disappointed by lack of response from police in the matter so i immediately said we need to do something about this. Shouldnt be incumbent on the family to solve the crime. Family members draw similarities between his injuries and emet tills. In 1955, two white men murdered till for when i sistling at a w woman in minneapolis. His casket was left open for the world to see the brutality. Charles family released a photo that showed what he looked like when found. What made you release that image . We feel like the world needed to see. We opted not to show that image due to the graphic nature and also the ongoing investigation. The Sheriffs Office thats investigating this case did release a statement saying they have video of him apparently walking alone around the time of his disappearance but have not released that video to the public. We also reached out to janet irvin and havent heard a response back, gayle. Boy, reading about the injuries done to him made me nauseous. I have mixed feelings about showing that picture. Know it made a difference in emet till case. Did the irvins have a connection to the man . Said they did not know the family. His parents said they did not know this woman or the son. They dont understand how this happened. Ultimately they want answers. More answers. And they were hoping the police did more early on in this. Thats what they were hoping. This story is not over.

This comes after pfizer said its vaccine was more than 90 effective. Joining us now, a member of the president elect joe bidens new coronavirus advisory board. Michael osterholm. He is an epidemiologist, director of center for Infectious Disease research and policy at the university of minnesota. First on cbs this morning, esshe is announcing a fund to help families of Front Line Health Care workers that lost their lives to covid19. I will get to that in a second. Thanks for being with us. You said this is the most dangerous time since 1918, pandemic of 1918. Where is this trend line taking us and what do we have to do immediately to get this under control . Well, first of all, great news is what we heard today from moderna, the fact we have a vaccine that not only prevented illness but evidence of severe illness. We have to imagine going to a day in the months ahead where this will be behind us. Right now, we are in the most dangerous period as you noted. You know what the numbers are now, what we call exponential growth, case numbers are doubling every few days. And i think between now and well past the holidays, were going to see a major increase in cases in this country, many parts of the world. You have spoken to a handful of governors, what have you recommended they do . I think all governors are looking for what to do. They want to base it on science. They understand the economy. We are really at a disadvantage. If were going to ask people to suffer for this from an economic standpoint, shutting down their businesses, people being unemployed, city government, State Government no longer able to fund many of the essential workers, fire, police, we need economic support to take care of that if we also take care of the pandemic. Until we get that, it will be a real challenge for governors to do anything that doesnt cause great conflict within their communities. Should there be uniform National Response do you believe and if so, what should that look like . Clearly each and every area of the country has a little different picture on whats happening, meaning in some cases the transmission is more in communities of color, other areas, rural america, it is not. But we need a standard set of principles. What are we trying to do. Trying to get ourselves through this period to a time when vaccine will end the pandemic as we know it. And right now, we dont have a standardized set. Youre hearing all the governors and mayors are scrambling to find what is the right answer for us, and it would surely help all of them. Thats what i am hearing from them if we had a standardized set of recommendations and protocols. As we mentioned, youre launching a fund with st. Paul and Minnesota Foundation to support families of Health Care Workers who died of covid19. Tell us about what youre doing. Well, we have witnessed over the course of this pandemic the most horrible tragic pain of watching Health Care Workers themselves become patients and dying. Over 1400 Health Care Workers in this country died from covid19. Not all of them, of course, from work, but many. It disproportionately effected communities of color. They have been there for us to take care of us. We cant make right whats happened but can do something about it. This fund is to help the families, the children, Offering College scholarships to children of these fallen heroes, and what we are hoping today is that america understands the major sacrifices families have made. Well all get behind and support these families in a way, the least we can do wfor what theye done for us. Michael osterholm, thank you so much.

He has been looking back while writing his memoir called a Promised Land that comes out tomorrow. Includes blunt accounts of challenges he faced in office. We sat down with president obama for cbs sunday morning. He talked about his decision to run for president , early years of the presidency, and his entrance on the National Stage back in 2004 when he was just a state senator from illinois. In no other country on earth is my story even possible. Ted kennedy said to you, you dont choose the time, the time chooses you. Yeah. How did you know it was the time . I didnt come from a political family, i didnt come from a wealthy family. I wasnt somebody that wanted to be president from an early age. When it sort of happened that i was in a position to run for president , it was pretty surprising to me, it was certainly surprising to michelle. We were coming out of the Democratic National convention in boston and the speech i gave. There is not a liberal america and conservative america, theres the United States of america. I think there was this convergence of the message i was delivering, it clicked in the electorates mind. So by the time i announced, at least what i knew was it wasnt a pipe dream. A dream that launched barack obama on the course to make history as the first black president of the United States. So help you god. So help me god. Congratulations, mr. President. Its a trajectory he outlines in his new memoir, the book offers in sights of a young president with ambition to enact change. More than that, it includes the very candid reflections of a man who sometimes fell short of his own expectations. It is in the nature of politics, certainly the presidency, to go through rough patches, times when because of a bone headed mistake an unforeseen circumstance, a sound but unpopular decision or failure to communicate. The headlines turned sour and the public finds you wanting. Do you have an example of a bone head mistake you made . The one is i am on the campaign trail, trying to make a point when asked why would working class voters vote for the republicans when it is against their economic interest. I say well, look, they have been disappointed, they see the economy shifting under their feet, they feel ignored, so they cling to their guns. It was a classic example of where the intentions of what i had said didnt match up with the words right, but it had consequences because i think despite all of the policies i actually put in place to make sure that those folks felt heard, it became a barrier for me being able to reach them. Given the current racial divide in this country, when you look back at your legacy when it comes to people of color, do you feel theres anything more you could have done . Theres no doubt that theres more i could have done, but i feel like that about just about every issue, the Affordable Care act, when we passed it. 23 Million People have Health Insurance that didnt have it before, many of those people of color. Now it is in the Supreme Court. Right now as we speak, are you concerned, worried about that . The Trump Administration seems to actively want to undo everything that you have done. Well, you know, i have gotten accustomed to that. Turns out that the Affordable Care act, now it is pretty popular ten years later, everybody says oh, we dont want that to go away, including even some republicans, so i think it will last. You do. I think we can build on it, make it even better. When i think about whether its how much was i able to alleviate systemic racism or tackle climate change, across the board i feel as if i fell short of what i wanted to get done. I had run through a good process with smart people, listened to every point of view before i made a decision, i could always say you know what, i made the best decision i could. There were certainly triumphs, including the signature achievement, passing the Affordable Care act. Health insurance reform becomes law in the United States of america. In fact, it inspired the president to make a personal promise about his own health. You talk about that moment where it passed and theres a celebrator party at the white house, but theres a poignant moment with you and beau and a decision you made about smoking. What was that . First of all, beau obama who is certainly more popular than me. Well, hes very cute. Hes adorable. So he was a gift from ted kennedy, what you were referring also to be true is that i was still sneaking in cigarettes. I pledged that as soon as i got the Affordable Care act passed that i would stop mainly because malia was old enough that she noticed, i didnt want to lie to my daughter, i said to myself thats it. Did you stop . I did. I have not had one since. President obama is now enjoying life as a private citizen with his wife michelle whose portrait hangs among first ladies in the smithsonian. The couple is open about how their relationship changed after leaving the white house. You write that after you left office, you all were able to rediscover, recapture your love. What does that mean, what does that look like . You have a lazy weekend, lets just hang out. Part of it is also the girls got older, right . Theres the heartbreak of your chicks leaving the nest, but theres also oh, theyre not around. Well, we can do what we do. Michelle obama spoke, by the way, over 12 million. Is there friendly competition. I waved the white flag on that. She tells a great story, she said she was home by herself, she made cheese toast, we can ul do that, sat on the steps by herself, savoring that moment. Do you have a cheese toast story of your own . For me i think it was probably me being in traffic which hadnt happened for eight years because the president ial motorcade doesnt hit traffic. Im driving along, in the car, back seat, looking at my ipad or something, and suddenly we stopped. Im like whats going on . Theres a red light next to us, some kids are eating a burrito or something in the back seat. Goodness. Oh. I am back to life. Welcome to the world, mr. President. I am happy to be back. No doubt about it. Lot of people are happy he is back. People have been reaching out, saying they forgot, not forgot, but it was reminder about the humanity and intelligence of barack obama and also Michelle Obama. They talk candidly about the white house and the effect it had on her and their marriage. Lets remember when she left office, she was emotional when she said being first lady to all of us was the greatest honor of her life, and i know that she believes thats true. Yeah. Their daughters, too, thoughtful, kind. Great human beings. I would love to pull up in traffic and see the former president. His other human cheese toast moment, being able to go swimming in the ocean without a naval ship watching over you while youre paddlig around. Back to reality, sort of, kind of. Still traveling with heavy security, of course. You can see more of our interview with president obama in a one hour special that airs tomorrow on bet. The same day a Promised Land drops. But it is well written, well done. He really takes you inside the room. It is only volume one. Coming up. Well be right back. Miami marlins appointed the first female gm in good morning. Im len kiese. San Francisco Health officials are worried about free covid19 testing sites being overloaded as the infection rate increases. They are asking people with insurance to go to their own doctors instead to get tested. A crash in sonoma county. An suv veered off highway 1 sunday, landing upside down 200 feet below on driftwood beach. The driver was able to climb out and is now at a hospital in santa rosa. Squaw valley Alpine Meadows is about to open after a recent storm and snowmaking. A drone captured video of machines clearing snow from roads and parking lots while workers got the lifts and trails ready for skiers. Good morning from the traffic center. We are still seeing some brake lights this morning especially along the freeway. Slow and go conditions in the hayward area. We have a trouble spot on south 880. It looks like it may be blocking lanes. Traffic busy on the south and west bound side a bit, also sluggish coming off of the Castro Valley area. Thing a lot better for travel times into the altamonte. We are now at 30 minutes from the red zone to the yellow zone. Also east shore freeway still little slow as you work your way into the berkeley area. Bay bridge meter lights are on. Enjoy the sunshine and mild temperatures today. We are talking 60s and 70s this afternoon but changes by tomorrow. We are looking at a strong cold front pushing across the bay area for tuesday, bringing breezy and rainy conditions tomorrow. Much cooler as well for did you know that geicos whole 15 minutes thing. That came from me. Really. My first idea was in one quarter of an hour, your savings will tower. Over you. Figuratively speaking. But thats not catchy, is it . Thats not going to swim about in your brain. So i thought, what about. 15 minutes. 15 percent. Serendipity. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Time to bring you some stories that are talk of the table this morning. Anthony, you first. I dont know about you, i needed holiday cheer. I was excited to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has arrived, coming from central new york. 75 foot norway spruce hoisted into place over the weekend. Weighs 11 tons. No easy job. There will be a Tree Lighting ceremony next month with no spectators because of the pandemic. Theyll put the lights on first. Thats 35,000 lights they put on. Sorry, there are no spectators, obviously that makes sense this time of year. This was donated by daddy als general store in new york, came from the property of paula nick there who said i didnt realize that tree in my yard not long ago would bring joy to so many people. She said a lot of people need hope. People wonder if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to see it or hear it, did it really fall . Still calling it the Christmas Tree i am going there, even if im a block away. It will be nice to see it. I am with you, anthony, a little hope and cheer is always good. What have you got, gayle . Talk about hope and cheer, tyler perry has an inspiring message about hanging in there when he won the peoples champion awards at the e peoples choice award. An engineer was struggling to find water and almost gave up when he was inches away from success. He was four inches away from the water i needed. Why am i telling you all this, why am i talking about digging for water. In this world, were all digging wells, in our lives digging wells of relationships where we put all this time, effort, energy, sometimes it doesnt give us what we need, put our time and effort in our dreams and business and doesnt give us what we need, what we were after. But if you just keep digging, my god, if you could just hear me now, just keep digging. You may be four inches away from every gift and blessing you ever wanted in your life. Had i given up, had i given up when i was homeless, when i was sleeping in my car, when i was hungry, had i given up, people you see on the screen would not be part of my dream. Theyre people tied into your dream and your destiny and you are worthy of getting to your goal. Keep digging. Keep digging. I love that. Tyler perry, thank you. He says make sure everyone meets you at your worth. Know what your worth is. When you meet people, make sure they know youre worthy. The way he tells a long story, love that analogy. That morning, he went to the guy, was going to say forget it, never mind, taking too long, not finding anything. It is a good lesson to keep digging even when you think theres nothing there. The other thing i thought when watching, whose jacket is that. I did notice that jacket. Didnt you . I thought thats a cool looking jacket, tyler perry. So keep digging. Related to keeping on digging when all seems lost and you will get there, about history made in Major League Baseball with hiring of the first woman to be general manager of a major league team. Kim ng was named new gm of the marlins. Shes the first female general manager of any male Pro Sports Team in north america. She has 30 years experience, even though only 51 years old. The baseball commissioner says it sets significant example for millions of women and girls who love baseball and softball, kim ng joins us from marlins park in miami. Good morning to you. Congratulations. On one hand, this is a very qualified person, getting a well deserved position. On the other hand, this is a really big deal. You have been in baseball 30 years, started as an intern with the white sox, 21 at the time. You acknowledge it didnt seem likely a woman was going to be a gm in your lifetime, yet here you are. How does it feel . It feels amazing. It still really hasnt sunk in, but it is getting there. Im sure once the press conference is over today, i will be off to the races and in the thick of it. Thats when it will really sink in. I read you were on a many years, many person text chain with other women who are in executive positions in baseball operation jobs in Major League Baseball jobs. Dozens out there. What was the reaction on the text when you were announced . Everyone was so excited. In some ways, disbelief for them as well. I think you know it is a symbol for so many women that are out there just trying to, you know, work their way up to the top, make their way up to the next level. So you were recognized as a great manager at the Major League Baseball level for years, the youngest assistant gm with the yankees in the late 90s when they won world series after world series. Usually when a person is the youngest assistant gm in the league, theyre going to get a gm job pretty soon after. For you, it took 15 years from the time you first interviewed. Whats your explanation for the gap and why do you think it happened now . You know, i dont really know. Its been a long road. All i can say is im happy its happened and i look forward to running the marlins, hopefully to a championship. Do you think gender played a role in that 15 year gap . Sure. I would say i had a very good resume for a long time, but just never happened. Go ahead, then i have a followup. Kim ng, i am bursting out of my skin, i am not even a baseball girl. Thats what i was going to bring up. Not even a baseball girl. I was so excited when i heard the news about you. I want to know with closest friends, family, people that love you and you love them, did you have a moment where you screamed and said we did it, i did it . Did you have a moment like that . Was there champagne, cupcakes . What was it . So i went and told my mom and four sisters on the day after it happened. I went out there to visit them and told them i was moving to miami and they were completely perplexed and said why. I said well, this former shortstop made me the next general manager of the marlins, derek jeter. They all screamed. Im not a big screamer, but they all screamed. It was a pretty awesome deal. We are all screaming for you, honestly. Do you feel tremendous pressure because you are who you are or do you think look, i got this, im ready to go. No, you know, before i got the job, it feels like this 10,000 pound weight went from the left shoulder, now that ive got the job, it now transferred to the right shoulder because whatever i do, i just have to do it well. You heard gayle king say she is not a baseball girl. What made you love the game of baseball and whats your plan for bringing more women and girls into the sport in. Well, first of all i think just my having this position, being more out there, more high profile, i think girls are going to see that and think that the sport is welcoming to them. I think in terms of what made me love baseball, my dad was a big sports fan, introduced me to everything. For some reason i just loved baseball. I loved the sound of the crack of the ball off the bat, i loved walking into the stadium, as you walk towards the field, seeing the sun shining down on the field. So many things. But it was my dad that really introduced me to the game. I read that you started off playing stick ball in queens, not far from where the mets played. Somehow you became a yankees fan. Some of us will forgive you for that, but so my question is where did your fandom come from . You know, i just remember going to Yankee Stadium for the first time. At the time the yankees were a very good team, it was the late 70s, we had my personal hero thurman munson, great team players. They were a fun group to watch. It was called the bronx zoo i think. Yes, it was. Another shoutout to derek jeter who i think has great taste, a class act, great taste in wives, teams, and now in hires. Did he call you, say kim, are you interested, did you apply for the job . How did that work . He called me. He called me must have been three or four weeks ago and said look, i have this opening, would you be interested. And it just went from there. Obviously derek and i have a bit of a history. You helped negotiate his contract on the yankees, didnt beat him up too bad, maybe you did, he wants you on his team. He knows what he is doing he tried, but he is derek. He is derek and you are kim. We are cheering you on. I am very excited about this. Thank you so much for taking time to be with us this morning. Thank you. Bye. The hit cbs show called the neighborhood back for its third season. Well talk with the star, cedric the entertainer, about how theyre addressing serious the entertainer has been making audiences laugh more than three decades and he is still going strong. Appeared in dozens of hit films and shows including the original kings of comedy anbar better shop franchise. Cedric the entertainer stars at Calvin Butler on the series the neighborhood. This show is hilarious. It explores what happens when a white family from the midwest moves next to a black family in los angeles. In this clip from tonights season premier, calvin talks with his son after a member of their Community Becomes a victim of racial injustice. Im angry every time another racist cop kills one of us out there, every time the system fails us. Makes me want to burn it all down. But thats not the answer. I mean, what is . Because theyre not listening to us. So what the hell am i supposed to do . You have to fight smart, you have to organize. Talk to your people. You have to get them to listen. Look, they want you to fight with this. But you got to fight with this. So true. Cedric the entertainer joins us now. Cedric, welcome back. Congrats on the third season. Lets talk about tonights episode, i watched it yesterday. It is a comedy show, you took a serious tone and it worked. You were able to infuse comedy into something serious. You said you used a lot of your real life experiences. Bravo to you. Thank you so much. You know, the show creator, jim reynolds, creative producer partner, coming back for season three, thought it was important to talk about some of the big issues happening, be it the pandemic or of course the social injustice that went on through most of the summer, and we just deemed it was the most important point of view to have a voice in that because we represent a fictional neighborhood in los angeles, but these things were real throughout los angeles during the summer, you know, through the george floyd and brianna taylor, our own cases here in california. We felt it was important to say something, try to do that, we are a 30 minute sitcom. Try to make you laugh as well. I thought it was interesting the reaction of your neighbors compared to what was happening in your house. I could see a lot of people having this exact conversation you were having with the neighbors. Thats what i thought was so genius about what you did. Yeah. You know, that was the other thing because when you have these kind of uprising, people start to come together, this is something again throughout george floyd, we hadnt seen galvanizing of people to a cause at least for civil rights or whatever, so it was just very important to try to get that point of view where they had some naivety about whats going on so you can allow one to think about the circumstance, be able to empathize with it. We were talking at the table before, how much we all loved sitcoms, and especially now. They seem to be comforting in a certain way. I am wondering how youre approaching this. Youre shooting, used to have a live audience, i dont think you have one now. Youre also used to standup, love feedback of a live audience. How are you approaching this with everything going on .
