In response to the backlash, the Trump Campaign says the president has built a record of success for black americans. This as he defends one of his most controversial tweets. More than 8 minutes of horror. Thats 8 minutes of horror. Its a disgrace. Reporter in his first interview since George Floyds death, President Trump condemned the incident. But he stood by Law Enforcement and defended his now controversial tweet in which he threatened the use of the military in minnesota and said, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. It means two things. Very different things. One is, if theres looting, theres probably going to be shooting and thats not as a threat. Thats really just a fact because thats what happens. And the other is, if theres looting, theres going to be shooting. And its also used as a threat. Its used both ways. Reporter in dallas at a roundtable on race in policing, the president said hes finalizing an executive order related to the use of force and doubled down on dominating the streets.

Johns church last week. As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that i have learned from.

Nikole, thank you. The president is still pushing seattles mayor to reclaim a neighborhood protesters have turned into a copfree zone. Police abandoned a local precinct there on monday after the area became a hot bed for demonstrations over the death of george floyd. Anna warner has more on the citys response to the protest. Reporter mayor jenny durkin fired back at President Trumps warning that he would send in troops to seattle. The threat to invade seattle, to divide and incite violence in our city is not only unwelcome, it would be illegal. Reporter still, the president continued his complaints. If we have to go in, were going to go in. Thee people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city. Reporter after multiple nights of violent clashes, police in a show of deescalating tensions in the capitol hill district boarded up their station and left. Now the area called the capitol hill autonomous zone or chaz, is being controlled by mostly Peaceful Protesters. Activists have camped out, vowing to stay unless their demands are met.

Ultimately, the city had other plans for the building. And relented to severe public pressure. Were going to evaluate and see if what the viability is of bringing officers in.

Were not stopping these guys from going to work, but we will occupy the space for the best of our ability, utilizing our rights. Reporter for cbs this morning, anna werner, San Francisco.

Theres also similar legislation in congress, correct . Thats right, anthony. Rand paul introduced that legislation.

It means that she has saved someone else and thats really the big thing here because this shouldnt have happened to her. Reporter with a unanimous vote late thursday, the Louisville Metro Council passed breonnas law, officially banning noknock warrants countywide.

While the plainclothed officers contend they identified themselves, taylors boyfriend says they did not. And he opened fire to defend himself against what he thought were intruders. He later called 911 after taylor was shot at least eight times. She alert and able to talk to you . No, shes not. Breathe reporter a newly released incident is mostly blank saying there was no forced entry and marked taylors injuries as none. Attorney lonita baker. Not a single officer has been charged. And, worse, not a single officer has been fired. How are you coping with everything . Are you exhausted . Im definitely exhausted. I hate doing this. But because of who my daughter was, i have to. Because of what happened to her. She deserves justice. Do you think shell get justice . I pray she does. Reporter but for now, the family is grateful that taylor, who was an emergency medical technician, is being honored by louisvilles lawmakers. She saved lives when she was here on earth, and shell continue to save lives with breonnas law. Say her name. Breonna taylor. Reporter in the past, police have said they use these noknock warrants to keep suspects from fleeing the scene, destroying evidence or firing at Police Officers. The mayor of louisville confirms he will sign this bill into law. As for that incident report, that mostly blank incident report, Police Acknowledge those errors and now say they are working to correct them. Vlad . Some remarkable developments there in louisville. Jericka, thank you. A california man suspected of targeting police during a twoday crime spree is dead after a manhunt ended with a shootout. Police say 26yearold mason lira shot a deputy and killed a homeless man wednesday. Then wounded three more officers yesterday before he was shot and killed. Jonathan vigliotti has been following this in paso robles, california. Any word on a motive . Good morning. The sheriff says there is no doubt this was an ambush. But at this point, the exact motive is unclear. That manhunt came to an end in this vineyard. The suspects father saying that he had schizophrenia and was living in a fantasy world. The suspect was shot. Reporter that announcement came after Law Enforcement swarmed the streets and the sky of paso robles, closing in on mason lira and killing him in a shootout thursday.

Louis obispo tribune, he posted several odd writings and photographs of guns to his now deleted facebook page. Do you think this was a random attack or targeted attack against laumtw enforcement . I have no doubt it was targeted and intended to kill Law Enforcement. Reporter lira was recently arrested for making criminal threats. That happened about two hours north of here in monterey.

The mayor says it will be relocated out of concern for public safety. Protesters are tearing down and damaging memorials they say honors racist figures from history. Chip reid is in richmond, another city where Confederate Monuments are under attack. Good morning to you. I know this has been an issue there for years. Oh, for a very long time. Of course, richmond was the capital of the confederacy. So there are monuments like this one. This one to robert e. Lee. All over this town. Politicians have spent years talking about doing something about it. Maybe bringing them down, putting them in a museum or maybe just adding some context. But this week, protesters said we are tired of waiting. Richmond residents celebrated thursday at the graffiti covered and long controversial statue of confederate general robert e. Lee. All that down below is hundreds of years in the making. And all of the emotion and all the energy and all the passion that created that, it would be a shame to wipe that away. Very empowering. Not just for black people but for white people as well who want change. Reporter that call for change has hit the citys monuments hard, bringing down the statue of jefferson davis, the president of the confederacy and landing Christopher Columbus in a local lake.

Reporter in congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosis call to do away with confederate statues in the halls of the capitol met republican resistance. A bipartisan proposal advanced in the senate would begin the process of renaming about 10 military bases that honor confederate officers. President trump and some republican allies spoke out in opposition. The purpose was to erase from history, erase every person and name and event not righteous enough and to cast those who would object as defenders of the cause of slavery. Why do we want to name or venerate people who fought to enslave other human beings . Thats all were saying.

Weve struggled to deal with this countrys tortured racial history. Reporter Julian Hayter advised virginia to remove the memorials. We only generally tend to come around and discuss this countrys racial problems in instances where theres trauma involved. Perhaps we might not be here if we were willing to have these discussions when things seemed to be going normally. Reporter the Southern Poverty Law Center says about 140 confederate symbols have been removed since 2016. Anthony, that pace is now accelerating greatly. Yeah, the momentum is building, chip. You mentioned in your piece the push to rename military bases around the country that are named for confederate war heroes. Where does that stand, and why right now . Well, i tell you. Why . Because of so much that is going on right now. But this is really surprising. It is really gaining some steam. The idea has been around for a very long time. Its being pushed primarily by elizabeth warren, liberal democrat of massachusetts. You might think republicans arent going to agree with that, but republicans on the Key Senate Committee have already said theyll go along. There are a couple of opponents, but it appears to be moving ahead. This effort would rename ten military bases. Take a look at them. They include ft. Benning in georgia, ft. Hood in texas, and ft. Bragg in north carolina. Some very prominent bases. Now democrats in the house strongly favor it. They say, after all, these men took up arms against the United States in favor of slavery. A big but, though. President trump has said he will veto any effort to do this. All right. Chip reid in richmond, virginia. Thank you, chip. One of the biggest names in Country Music is now history.

The group issued a statement sayisa saying it is regretful of not taking into accountant bellums antebellums comparison to slavery in the Cruise Missile war. I just need you now known for their delicate country sound, Lady Antebellum is making a loud proclamation. I dont know why you dont take hillary scott, charles pelley, and dave haywood have been making music for more than a decade under the name Lady Antebellum. Lady this, lady this, lady, two guys and a girl. Reporter in this interview from 20th centu from 2011 the the name. Charles calls, we have it. I was like, okay, he goes, Lady Antebellum. Its different yeah. We sold her on it. I was like, okay, fine. If were lucky enough to get a record deal, it will probably be the first thing to change. We were sure it would be the first to go. It stuck. Reporter it stuck for nearly 14 years. I cant breathe reporter after nationwide protests over racial inequality, the band promptly dropped antebellum from their name and will move forward as lady a. They addressed fans with a long statement writing in part, we did not take into account the associations that weigh down this word, referring to the period of history before the civil war which includes slavery. Adding, our hearts have been stirred with conviction. Our eyes opened wide to the injustices. Blind spots we didnt know existed have been revealed. I think what lady a did is showing that if you have a past or a part of your identity, your band name, your song titles, you can change that. Reporter nashvillebased journalist melissa moss theres a lot of fear in country. Theres just a huge fear that if you speak out youll lose air play, that youll lose fans. And i think its a gross misunderstanding of the base, the country audience. In the statement, lady a directly addressed the question many might be asking this morning why are you only making the change now . They go on to say they can make no excuses for their lateness in this realization saying, what we can do is acknowledge it, turn from it learn from it, and take action. I think, anthony, thats really what a lot of people are expecting. That the mood of the country now has significantly changed, and people are listening, and lady a is listening and taking action. Thats what people want. Reporter yeah, its interesting because for for lady a to do this now is significant and tells you something is changing. As the journalist pointed out, theres a lot of fear in Country Music. Its tightly controlled. You look at the story about statues coming down, about this happening, there is definitely something happening here, gayle. Listen, i love their music, i love them as human beings. I think theyre great. I never even made the association of Lady Antebellum in this way. But the fact that they have and people are talking about it and they want to amend what they think was a wrong, i applaud that. I never looked at that that way. Im just glad that people are starting to pay attention. That is very important, very important. Coming up next, vallads go some announcer this portion sponsored by lincoln.

Let us start with this chicagos mayor says Police Officers were caught lounging while looting and protests erupted around the city last week. These images were taken inside congressman bobby rushs burglarized Campaign Office. The office was broken into when the surrounding strip mall was targeted by looters the night before. Up to 13 officers were spotted inside napping, eating, and checking their cell phones. Mayor Lori Lightfoot is working to identify them. Their conduct will confirm the perception that too many people are the south and the west side were left to fend for themselves. That police dont care if black and brown communities were looted and burned. Chicagos fraternal order of police says the pictures are taken out of context. You know, congressman bobby rush, whos had associations with the Chicago Police going back to his days as a black panther, was really strong on this, anthony. He basically said, look, they were using my microwave to make my popcorn and sitting on my couch. Very disrespectful. Yeah. They were there for four to five hours, vlad. They got up and made coffee for themselves, they were napping on that couch. And there were three supervisors involved. So i dont know those pictures are pretty strong. What else have you got . Yep. Okay. Cbs and walgreens are on a cvs and walgreens are a growing list of stores that will lock up beauty and Hair Products made for black women. Videos started resurfacing showing multicultural hair care and Beauty Products on locked cases. Wednesday walmart wouit would b the policy in dozens of its stores saying like other retailers it installed the lock cases to prevent shoplifting. Gayle, this isnt the first time ive heard this and wondered about this. People have been talking about this for years, why those products are behind a locked case. I have seen that, vlad. Its insulting. Its just another reason why people are upset about the inequalities. Its sort of like the death by a thousand cuts. Thats just another example of that. What have you got thats new in the sports world . Lets move on to good news. Yes. This is potentially some very welcome news. There are possible new developments in Colin Kaepernicks football career. As you all know he hasnt played a game since the 2016 season when he started kneeling during the National Anthem to protest Police Brutality and Racial Injustice. Now seahawks coach pete carroll says he got a call from an nfl team about the ex49ers quarterback. Carroll wouldnt say which team. He also says he regrets not signing kaepernick back in 2017. You look back, i felt like i missed the opportunity. So as i look back at it, i wish we could have figured it out and known what we know now and given him the chance. Because, you know, i would love to see him play football. Coach, we would all love to see Colin Kaepernick playing football. He says hes staying in shape for that very reason. Also this the nfl is pledging 250 million over a tenyear period to battle systemic racism. That follows commissioner Roger Goodells Statement Last week condemning racism, saying black lives matter, anthony. Very important there. Yeah. And Colin Kaepernick cant get those years back. Theres nothing nay can do to give him these years of playing back. And as you pointed out every time we touch the nfl, niece still without a job, gayle. And hes still been working out, staying in shape, getting ready he says that hes ready to play. People say, well, he had the opportunity and that didnt work out. Things are different.

Cool and breezy for your sa its friday, june 12th, 2020, n. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king and anthony mason. Coronavirus rising as the numbers go up in many states. Well ask why and whether officials should rethink reopening. Full court press. Well talk with the l. A. Clip r clippers chairman. Kristen bell on how all americans can help fight racism. We can do that. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. The coronavirus pandemic may be on the rise even in parts of the countr spared the worst of the crisis until now. Arizonas governor admitted the rate of infection is going the wrong direction, but he says stay at home orders are not under consideration. Some African American lawmakers object to a rally. They also object to the location. They use the no knock warrants to keep suspects from fleeing the seen, destroying evidence or firing at Police Officers. The mayor confirms hell sign the bill. The sheriff says it was an ambush. At this point the exact motive is unclear. The suspects father saying he had schizophrenia and was living in a fantasy world. They scored a major victory. Nascar banned the display of the Confederate Flag at the races and tracks. Nascar is getting more progress i have. I guess i shouldnt be surprised. All they do is turn left. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Stephen colbert feeling proud of himself about that one. This has been a big issue. Its a big decision for the nascar. Yes. And as weve talked were going to begin. Some things are being recovered right now reconsidered right now. Yes, and i say thats a good thing. A new surge in coronavirus cases as the total reported number now stands at more than 2 million nationwide. Yesterday South Carolina and florida announced their highest daily coronavirus cases totals to date. Arizona has seen the average daily cases nearly triple over the last two weeks and since monday, texas has had the four worst days so far for coronavirus hospitalizations. Vlad . The latest data shows at least 14 states have seen spikes in coronavirus hospitalizations since memorial day. A new university of washington model often cited by the white house is projecting nearly 1 170,000 covid deaths by october 1st. It says we could also see 1,000 deaths per day by the start of october with major daily increases through september. Yeah. And some models have that number going even higher. We are joined by our medical contributor, dr. David agus. Health experts were forecasting and anticipating this as the country reopened. What do we do to keep the numbers down and should some places reconsider reopening further . You know, its going to be hard to reconsider opening. Weve been indoors for a long time. We need to change our way of life. If there one thing we could do to decrease the spread is wear a mask. We have to create a new social norm, wearing a mask. In countries like japan, its no big deal. Here this is a big deal, and were expected the least affected to step up to help others. And thats new for our country. David, theres been a lot of concern that the widespread protests could contribute to a spike. What do we know about that . Is there any evidence thats happening . Yeah. I think were were seeing little bits of it now. Were going to see more of it over the days to come. Many at the rallies were at the 20 and 30yearolds. Theyre going to go home and bring it to people in their households, mothers and grandfathers and next door neighbor. Thats what we worry about. I dont worry about the 20yearolds and 30yearolds. Theyre not getting very sick in general q but they can spread it to others and the spike in hospitalizations is going to continue to rise over the next several days as a result of the protests. Its not just in the big cities. People wept from small towns to participate in larger towns and back to their hometown. Were going to see spread in smaller towns that werent spread before. Should they quarantine after being at a protest, david . I dont think they should quarantine. I think its a little aggressive at this point to do that. But i think they should all wear a mask. They need to drop the spread of droplets from one person to another. We have a new way of life the next months until the vaccine comes. Everybody knew what to do during the lockdown. The first inning, we were good at it. But the second inning is fuzzy. We need to behave differently. And wearing a mask is different. Its not in our dna to focus on others, but we need to. You mentioned the vaccine. Whats the latest on developments in vaccine . Well, im smiling. I think that the data so far in the lead candidates is encouraging. So i really think theres a possibility that in early fall well have vaccine candidates for Health Care Workers and the highest risk individuals and more as the supply increases. But the data is looking encouraging. There havent been backwards steps and thats exciting. Thats very good news. All right. Doctor, thank you. For years, i thought i was lactose intolerant. Turns out i was just sensitive to a protein commonly found in milk. Now, with a2 milk® i can finally enjoy cereal again. Its totally natural. And having only the a2 protein makes all the difference.

Nba nb superstar lebron james is teaming up with other athletes to protect the lives of black americans in this country. The initiative is called more than a vote. It will help black americans cast a ballot in november and the athletes and entertainers involved will use their social media to call out voter suppression, its a problem. Players on the Los Angeles Clippers are also youve using social media to fight racism. They released this video on monday. Steve ballmer is the chairman of the team and he joins us from seattle to discuss. So many issues. Steve ballmer, so its good to see you. I know head coach doc rivers is also involved in initiatives. This is a matter that involves both of you and the team. Can you take us inside conversations with the team youre having about rights now. Good to see you. Nice to see you, gayle. Thanks for having me. Weve been having a number of interesting conversations. Doc and i sat down with our clipper players earlier this week and it was interesting. It was a chance certainly for me to learn. Weve had other Team Functions where ive also had chances to learn. Right now our players are saying, number one is they want to be involved in educating the White Community on their Life Experiences to help people be smarter and better able to contribute to eliminating the kind of racism that makes their lives so very difficult. The other thing ill add, people assume because these are professional athletes that, frankly, everything is okay in their lives and they say, look, you take a uniform off, you know, youre right back in the mix with other black men. We all know thats true. Im curious, you said an opportunity for you to learn. What did you learn that you didnt know before . I think the degree to which the smallest things in life, the smallest things in life, can cause a negative interaction for a black person in an interaction with the police is probably the thing that i would underscore the most from our discussions and talk. You know, we all know, theres disproportionality, more africanamericans grow up in poverty than is true for would it people. The severity of that poverty, what it looks like is just different. If you just look at the incarceration rates, for the poorest 20 of whites versus the poorest 20 of black people. 20 of poor black males are incarcerated. Its only 6 for white people. Thats numbers steve talking but when you hear our players talk about their families and their neighborhoods, that comes out. Yeah, listen, i think its great that you know this information or are making an effort to know more about it. I heard you say you were sad and you were angry after the Police Murder of george floyd. Many people felt that way. I want to know specifically from you, why were you sad and why were you angry . Its hit people in many different ways. I was sad because, you know, this family and this man saw this most senseless of murders. Look, that familys going to be reliving that for all time. And so for the family of mr. Floyd and, of course, for mr. Floyd himself, sadness. Anger . Look, it is maddening to me that not more has been done. People like me and others havent been able to contribute more. It is maddening to me i mean, the behavior of that officer, oh, my gosh, thats just not i mean, i say its not okay. Its awful. Its terrible. What am i supposed to do other than just be engaged, gayle . Thats my reaction of anger. Theres plenty of other reactions, but those are primary. You said, steve, something you said, people like me. I want to talk about people like you because you have called other white ceos out saying they need to stand up and take action. Whats your message to them and whats the reaction to your words about that, calling them to task, so to speak . I would say my number one message to any white people at this stage is, theres an invitation that is clear now and call to action, which is to try to be an ally of these causes. Thats the issue. How do you be an ally of breaking down racism and the legacies that come all the way back from slavery. What do you do . As a leader, are you galvanizing your people, take resources, encouraging volunteerism, taking stands on certain legal issues. What is the ceo doing on behalf of the company and what are they doing if not to encourage their employees to take a specific action, just educate people on the issue. Let people know more. Yes, let them have the dialogue, yes. But then point your employees to places in which they can act, they can make a difference through their actions. Understand more and then act. Ceos have a lets call it a bully pulpit on which they can deliver that message to their employees. Not telling them exactly what to do, but showing them the range of options. Part of, i think, the frustration, when we look at the numbers. Michael jordan is the only black owner in the nba. Theres over 30 owners total. I dont know the exact number. Why do you think that is and what needs to be done to change that . Well, im going to correct you on one thing, gayle, because its one of the things my player said the other day, which is important. I may have bought the equity in the l. A. Clippers, but i am the chairman of the l. A. Clippers. That is my title. Fair enough. Im not trying but it was important to our players. Thats why i thought i would underscore it. Fair enough. When you think about, what does it take . Now were talking about wealth creation. Ive been unbelievably blessed and i was allowed to purchase a basketball team. Great for me. How do we give that kind of economic upside to more africanamericans . If you look at economic mobility data, its not very good for africanamericans, and particularly for africanamerican males. The chances you move up economically from the bottom 20 to top 20 , its 11 . Thats not bad, for whites. Its not great. That same number is 2 for blacks. Its ridiculous. It Means Investment in the communities, it Means Investment in Early Childhood education, it means working on the schools, it means improving the safety of the environment and the role of the police in those environments. It means getting people into college. You have to make that whole pipeline of investments, at least thats what weve been seeing, thats what weve been hearing, seeing and thats where weve been putting our resources. I cant say it will all work, but the smart people who are out there telling me, these are the areas in which we can help contribute financially to improve lives, financial lives. Now the word is that the nba is going back to the court. People are very excited about that. Can you just give us a little detail about how thats going to work . Well, you know, gayle, i let the nba office speak on our behalf. Theres a number of things they have certainly shared and i know the League Office is going to be really focused on a few things. Number one, can we do this safely . Theres new health news coming all the time on covid. Number two, if were going to do this, i know our players and our the teams, everybody the league, everybody wants to make sure it gets done in a way that is super respectful to the times were living in from a Racial Injustice perspective. I know the league and our players association, one of the good things about the nba is theres a very tight partnership between the league and teams and players and thats being worked through. Yeah. I just heard, steve, its july 22nd. We had a story on the news on this broadcast earlier about the unrest in your city of seattle. Whats your take on whats happening there and how its being handled . Well, you know, if you had said to me that this would be a hotbed of activity, i would have said no, seattle is i wouldnt call it a sleepy town, but this is not los angeles. This is not my hometown of detroit. I would say first, im happy to see the level of activism weve seen in seattle. I dont know if the issue is that our police force has been, perhaps, less well trained because of less activity dealing with these issues. You know, i was watching a video of a confrontation that broke out and i think its the kind of thing that needs to be studied as police talk about police reform, which could be a very good thing. Not an area im an expert in but the seattle experience tells me i better lerp about it. Yeah. Its an ongoing conversation. We thank you, Steve Ballmer, chairman, whatever your title. Youre still a bad ass and a really good guy. Really doing good work. People should know that about you. Thank you for your time this morning. Youre watching cbs this morning. Well be right back. Authorities believed that the 32yearold is link today the shooting death of a federal officer in oakland. San Francisco Mayor is putting forward a set of goals for reforming the citys Police Department. It includes removing officers from noncriminal situations and replaces them with trained and unarmed professionals. Today is barts ride of the san jose extension. Its going kick off at 10 00 this morning. A ride to the station for another rick bonn cutting. The station opens up to the public tomorrow. And take a look at the roadways right now. Were easing up nicely for this friday. Not seeing me delays on the san may toe wrote bridge. We had an earlier accident, and thats being cleared out of the lanes and no delays there. Bay bridge were turned on and then off. On for an hour and a half delays. You have the cars making the drive in to San Francisco. Overall, its an easy ride and then the Golden Gate Bridge is cleared in both directions. Mary. Cooler across the bay area as were looking to the flow coming in. The breezy conditions as we head through the afternoon. Mid 60s in San Francisco and upper 60s in oakland and mid 70s for san jose. Still cool and still breezy for tomorrow. High pressure is building in on sunday and warming well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. People think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. Thats absolutely 100 wrong. The home is ours. We can sell it if we want to at any time. I like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. Youre responsible for keeping up your property taxes and youre responsible for paying your insurance on the property. For us, it was a security blanket. The value of our house, was to fund our longterm health care. For years, reverse Mortgage Funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. They know the importance of having financial security. Make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. Its a good thing. Access your equity. Stay in your home. Have peace of mind. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Its time to bring you some stories that are the talk of the table this morning. This is a time we each pick a story we like to share with each other and is all of you. Anthony mason, you get to go first. Its an honor. I know weve all been cooped up during the pandemic, and weve all been looking for ways to express ourselves, and i love how this woman that we found expresses herself. Shes tonya ruiz, a california grandmother. Shes become a hit on instagram for her funny quarantine barbie creations showing how the iconic doll might live during the pandemic. So there is breadbaking barbie, covered in flour and has plenty of ingredients. Shes done a lot of baking including sourdough and bow n a banana bread. Theres the home school edition, with kids snacks. Ruiz says her favorite is, what time is it barbie, which has deep circles under her eyes. Her Instagram Page is called, grandma gets real. Shes actual by been making parody barbies for a long time. She photographs them. She doesnt sell them. She makes them for fun and photographs them and its her comedic commentary on the pandemic. Shes making essential worker barbies and hero barbies, too, but theyre a lot of fun. Gayle . Bravo to her. Whatever it takes to get you through the day. Were all looking for something to do. Mine is about the sew parr sopr creator of the hit show, which accidentally confirms what really happened to tony soprano. The controversial finale that aired 13 years ago this week. Remember this dont stop believing dont stop boy, i remember that night. Fans were left hanging when the show abruptly just faded to black with us all going, what happened . In an interview for a book about the show, creator david chase refers to that scene as a death scene, which confirms tony was murdered. He walks it back saying there are different interpretations on the ending. He worked on it for two years. He did call it the death scene. I remember when david chase came to the show to promote Something Else and i was talking to him in the green room because people were split on it. I said, david, i dont know. I want to know. He said, how would you have ended it . I went, uh. He goes, exactly. After that i said, whatever you want to do, mr. Chase. Everybody has a brighted in until they say, what would you do it . I found it interesting he called it the death scene and then tried to walk it back. For me thats clarity. Vlad . Yeah, yeah, slip of the tongue there that probably answered a question that a lot of people had on their minds, gayle. So, my story is about something that everybody is talking about. And some people are calling it a lesson. Comedian Dave Schapelle had searing comments about the death of george floyd in a netflix special that streamed last night. He performed last weekend in front of an audience in ohio. The special is called 846. This man kneeled on a mans neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Can you imagine that . This kid thought he was going to die. He knew he was going to die. He called for his mother. He called for his dead mother. Ive only seen that once before in my life, my father on his death bed called for his grandmother. When i watched that tape, i understood this man knew he was going to die. You know, this is not a comedy routine. This is a very serious comment he has on where we are in America Today called 8 46 because it references, of course, the amount of time officer chauvin had his knee on George Floyds neck before he killed him. Something else he reveals in this special, 8 46 is the time he was born. Is the time listed on his birth certificate. He said he supports the protesters. This is already 650,000 views on youtube. Yep. And im going i will be looking at that later today. That was such a primal thing that he called for his mother because your mother is your ultimate protector. Boy, i cant wait to see that. Switching gears, over her two decade long career, kristen bell has appeared in dozens of movies and tv shows and now the star is speaking up about how white people should support the black community. Everyone is talking about the death and murder of george floyd. Shes teaching the next generation to use their voice in her book the world needs more purple people and the goal is to bring people together. A timely message as people gather in peaceful protests nationwide. We spoke to kristen before the video was made public but before the protests. There are people suffering more than others. It is not equal. And its uncomfortable for everyone, but i do know the more allies everyone has, there wouldnt be this division of this is africanamerican, this is white, these are these problems, these are those. Theyre human problems. We need to learn how to help speak up for each other. I talked to ava and i asked her, what should i say to people that want to be better allies . She said, thats a question for white people because black people need to save their energy for to survival and thriving. You seem to be, based on the posts ive seen, where you said, white people do something, what do you mean by that . I think were all looking for answers right now. I didnt know for a while what i meant when i posted that, and it was only hours later, after i was continuing to think about it because black americans dont get to have one conversation about this and forget it. They dont have that privilege. It is happening all the time, all around them. Yes. And sometimes it feels like when these videos come out theres this great groundswell of support but it feels like it fades away. It does not fade away for black americans. This is why white americans need to choose to keep it at the forefront of their mind. I think we need to stop acting shocked when we see a video like this. Its not shocking anymore. I think we also need to remind ourselves, its not going to be fixed by a social media post alone. These conversations need to be brought into white dinner tables and we as white people need to hold other white people accountable for their conduct. Actress kristen bell is not afraid to speak up on issues that matter. Most kids know her as ana, from disneys frozen franchise and now coauthored a new Childrens Book that encourages young people to find their voices. You may be asking yourself, why in the whole wide world would i want to be purple . The book is called the world needs more purple people. The mother of two says she hopes kids will see we have more in common than meets the eye. It occurred to us that all of the kids absorb the conversations adults have. Youre wrong because of this, no, i heard this. We thought, wow, if we were a little person, a sponge just absorbing that, is that really the full picture . We thought, we need to find a way to put this idea into a kids book to get into their brains, look towards other human beings. Dont think immediately other people are your enemies. Purple is a magic color when red and blue work together. I think all the best things in the world are purple. Being a purple person means what . Well, being a purple person, we chose five characteristics in this book that no one can argue are great characteristics, which is being a super duper hard worker, laughing a lot, asking really great questions, using your voice and not losing your voice, being uniquely yourself. Kristen, after reading your book im thinking, everybody should want to be a purple person. We have this idea, right, how do we get people to look towards sameness first. You can disagree with as many people as you want. As long as youre identifying, you have more in common than differences. But how do we create a label thats exciting that doesnt leave anyone out . Thats really tricky, because youre either a doctor or youre not a doctor, right . It always leaves someone out. We like to say, purple people come in every color. Youre also saying, differences are okay and differences are a good thing, too. Absolutely. I can have a heat debate with my husband and we can disagree and, perhaps, even open each others minds. I just wanted to create some language and a social narrative they could follow. Why do you think it is so uncomfortable for people . Why is race so uncomfortable, because it is . I think its fear. I think its and im not saying thats warranted fear, by the way. Im making no excuses for it. I think fear causes people to react insanely. And we have to raise the next generation to not succumb to the same fears we did. Theres just no other option. Listen, she didnt plan the timing, but i certainly think it takes on a more added meaning in the time were living in. The world needs more purple people on sale wherever you like to buy your books. Its already number one on the best motorcycle riders love the open road. And geico loves helping riders get to where theyre going, so to help even more, geico is giving new and current customers a fifteen percent credit on their motorcycle policies with the geico giveback.

There have now been more than two million coronavirus cases in the u. S. The pandemic has claimed at least 113,000 lives here including parents, siblings, friends, artists, students, and frontline workers. As cities across america continue to reopen, we are still grieving these losses and bracing for the losses still to come. Here are just some of the many lives to remember. Carole brookins was a pioneering woman in the world of finance. A former executive director of the world bank, she was just over fivefeet tall, but she could fill a room with her intellect and her spunk said longtime friend lawrence goodman. A Phi Beta Kappa grad of the university of oklahoma, brookins started in the bond market in chicago in the 70s and rose to Vice President at e. F. Hutton on wall street before forming her own firm. President george w. Bush appointed her to the world bank in 2001. To kimberly reed, head of the export import bank, brookins was a mentor and surrogate mother. Im going to miss hearing that voice helping me, guiding me, she said. She would always stand up for what was right. Carole brookins was 76. Dr. Chung yu keith ru was a chemist who led research and development at b. Federal goverment b. F. Good rich. He served in the south korean army in the war. Captured by the north, he escaped.

Dr. Ru joined bf goodrich in ohio and was awarded numerous patents. He literally wrote the book on toughened plastics. His wife he met in fourth grade. They were married for 68 years. They were the ultimate love story said granddaughter caitlyn kim. His faith and his family were everything, all of his grandkids went to college, said caitlyn, i hope he knows that he inspired a lot of that. Dr. Chung yu keith ru was 91. Dr. James a. Mahoney was a pulm pulmonologish at sunni down state Medical Center in brooklyn.
