Well begin with another troubling incident ending in a black mans death following an encounter with police. This time in rochester, new york. Daniel krug died of suffocation after officers put a hood over his head while arresting him. There is bodycam video and it is graphic. Prude was naked and suffering from a Mental Health episode wen Police Arrived on the scene. The hood was necessary because he was spitting at them and they were concerned about the coronavirus. This happened on march 23rd but the video is only just released now. Jericka duncan has more on this troubling case. What more do we know . So much more to learn about this case. He was a resident of chicago visiting rochester. His brother made the phone call to police because they said his brother was acting strange. This was about three hours after his brother had been released from the hospital. But the family says what happened next was unfathomable. A warning, the video were about to air is very disturbing. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Reporter Police Body Camera video shows rochester officers ordering a naked daniel prude to lie on the ground in the early hours of march 23rd. Dont move. Police put the 41yearolds hands behind his back and handcuffed him. I saw him like run across. He almost got hit by a car, too. The video shows prude yelling and spitting. Give me your gun. I need it. As he sits completely naked and handcuffed on the ground, police put a white spit hood over his head. God bless yall, man. Later, an officer appears to push prudes head into the pavement. Trying to kill me . He says he has corona. But he also i dont know. You good man . Reporter prude stopped breathing and emts performed cpr as he was taken to the hospital where he was put on life support. Prude died seven days later. The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide caused by complications of asphyxia in a setting of physical restraint, excited delirium and acute pcp intoxication which could have explained his behavior. His brother joe is calling for the Police Officers involved to be held responsible for his brothers death. You hear him, dont kill me. That was a sign right there for you all to let up. But they didnt. They continue to apply pressure. Reporter more than five months after prudes death, none of the officers have been fired or disciplined. I know that theres rhetoric out there that this is a coverup. This is not a coverup. Reporter the citys police chief insisted this is an Ongoing Investigation and the mayor said the case is in the states hands according to the law put into place after the death of eric garner. Unfortunately, they have taken some time, and i sympathize with the family because i, too, when i saw the video, was very disturbed. Reporter joe prude says he called the police to help his brother but instead of assistance, the police took his brothers life. You are here to protect and serve, not to protect and kill. Reporter prudes family says they intend to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of rochester. The mayor here says shes working with the Attorney Generals Office to look further into this case. The Attorney Generals Office put out a statement yesterday in part that said that the prosecutions and Investigations Unit is looking into this. We did reach out to the five or several officers, rather, reportedly involved in this case. And have not heard back yet. Anthony . Jericka, thank you. This morning, its joe bidens turn to go to kenosha, wisconsin, where a Police Officer shot jacob blake seven times last month. The democratic nominees visit comes two days after President Trump toured the city and after a new poll found the president trailing in that crucial state. Local officials asked both candidates to stay away from kenosha as ed okeefe reports. Biden plans to meet with blakes relatives, even after they joined the request to stay away. Weve got to heal. Weve got to put things together. Reporter joe biden says hes visiting kenosha to start a dialogue. He told reporters on wednesday the officer responsible for shooting jacob blake should, at a minimum, be charged. I think we should let the judicial system work its way. Reporter President Trump in North Carolina to commemorate the end of world war ii has said little about the shooting in kenosha. Instead, focusing on violence nationwide. American warriors did not defeat fascism and oppression overseas only to watch our rights be trampled by mobs at home. He was in the midst of committing a felony and he was armed. Reporter barr provided no evidence. Blake told officers he had a knife in his possession but its unclear whether he ever held it. Police recovered a knife from his car but no other weapons. Barr also pushed back on those who say systemic racism is a problem in the criminal justice system. To me, the word systemic means that its built into the institution. And i dont think thats true. Reporter meanwhile, the president remains optimistic about the pandemic. I think were rounding the turn on this china virus. Reporter but biden disagrees and is pushing the Trump Administration to direct billions in federal disaster aid to buy masks and cleaning supplies so schools can reopen safely. This is an emergency, mr. President. This is an emergency. And donald trump and his fema should treat it as one. Reporter but he admitted some of his ideas like a threemonth mask mandate that he proposed last month could be difficult to enforce. You suggested there would somebody sort of federal mandate about masks. Now youre saying no, heres you cant do things the constitution doesnt allow you the power to do. What i would be doing is putting as much pressure as i could on every governor, every senator excuse me, every mayor, every county executive, every local official, and everyone in business. Reporter so biden heads to wisconsin today armed with data from a new fox news poll that shows him up eight points over the president. Hes also leading in arizona and North Carolina. And notably in wisconsin in that fox poll, on the question of which candidate is better equipped to deal with criminal justice and policing issues, biden leads the president. Gayle . All right, ed. 60 days and counting. Thank you. During his trip to North Carolina, the president encouraged his supporters to test the system, he says, for voting by mail in a way that could be could be illegal. Mailin voting starts tomorrow in that state making it the first in the nation to collect ballots for the november election. Ben tracy reports on the president s new message. I would go and follow it and go vote. Reporter at an airport rally in North Carolina wednesday, President Trump told his supporters that if they vote by mail, they should also then go vote in person. And then if they tabulate it very late, which they shouldnt be doing, theyll see you voted and so it wont count. So send it in early, and then go and vote. And if its not tabulated, you vote. And the vote is going to count. You cant let them take your vote away. Reporter in some states, you can ask for your mailin ballot to be invalidated. But intentionally voting twice is fraud and a felony in most states and could lead to chaos at precincts on election day. The president s message in a critical swing state of North Carolina was no accident. It starts sending out ballots tomorrow to voters who request them. President trump has been attacking mailin voting for months. I dont like this mailin ballot deal. Reporter despite voting that way himself many times. This is playing with fire. Reporter and now attorney general bill barr is following the president s lead sowing doubt over mailin voting just as many voters are worried about voting in person due to the pandemic. Elections that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud and coercion. Reporter barr made the unfounded claim wednesday that mailin voting leads to widespread fraud. Despite the fact that five u. S. States have used mailin ballots exclusively for years with few problems. And millions of americans vote by mail with absentee ballots each year. President trump is now directing the attorney general to draw up a list of what he calls anarchist jurisdictions. Last night, the white house released a memo in which President Trump directs his federal agencies to begin the process of defunding several u. S. Cities that he thinks have allowed lawless protests, including new york, seattle, portland and washington, d. C. These are all cities run by democrats. The president is trying to basically cut off any federal funding for those states. That would be under his control. Gayle . Ben, thank you. Facebooks ceo mark zu zuckerberg is making efforts to challenge misinformation on his social platform. In our exclusive interview, he said that facebook will address one of President Trumps repeated campaign themes. I certainly think that anyone who is saying the election is going to be fraudulent, i think thats problematic, and additional context needs to be added to that. Its not just anyone. Its not just a regular joe. Its the president of the United States. Thats correct. Youll see the first part of that intervew in our next half hour. Looking forward to that. New questions this morning about Campaign Politics and the Coronavirus Vaccine. In a letter obtained by cbs news, the director of the cdc is calling on all states to have Vaccine Distribution sites, quote, fully operational by november 1st. That, of course, is just two days before the general election and months before even the most optimistic timeline. Mark strassmann is outside the cdc in atlanta for us. Mark, good morning. What more do we know about this letter . Well, good morning, tony. For starters, that letter came out august 27th. Thats the same day that President Trump gave his acceptance speech at the Republican National convention. A speech in which he teased that a vaccine could come out by the end of the year. The worry here is that this plan may have more to do with politics than with science. Now that said, many Health Experts agree that having a Distribution Plan in place is essential, even as the vaccine needs more work. Whether we end up with a vaccine sooner or later, we need those plans. We need those logistics in place. Reporter dr. Jesse goodman is the former chief scientist at the fda. He oversaw several vaccine approval and distribution efforts. Goodman is concerned the new letter from the cdc did not come sooner. Safety, effectiveness, quality, good logistics and distribution system, safety monitoring system, and we dont screw up the trust safe and effective vaccine can save lives. But thats a tall order to come up with in the remaining time before then. Reporter dr. Goodman worries that political pressure and the fda could leave the public to doubt its safety and effectiveness. But both fda commissioner dr. Stephen hahn and dr. Anthony fauci said no vaccine would be approved or granted emergency authorization without sound data and Science Behind it. I would not be comfortable with a vaccine unless it was shown in a Clinical Trial clearly to be safe and effective. Now with Labor Day Weekend approaching, the nations Top Health Officials are urging americans to remain disciplined, to avoid behavior that led cases to spike following memorial day and the fourth of july. On a trip across the midwest, dr. Deborah birx of the White House Coronavirus task force gave this stern warning. When i say socially distanced, it means at all times, including with family members. We are seeing that crowded neighborhood events, including backyard barbecues, are currently one of the primary spreaders of virus. Reporter birxs tour comes as several states report spikes in new covid cases, including iowa. The white house recently flagged iowa as having the highest rate per capita of new covid cases. And there is also a spike in south dakota which recently hosted the sturgis motorcycle rally and that event has been linked to almost 300 new cases in a dozen states. Anthony . Mark strassmann, thank you, mark. Baseball is mourning the loss of one of its greatest pitchers, tom seaver. The hall of famer known as tom terrific died monday of causes related to dementia and the coronavirus. Seaver lifted the new york mets, then known for nothing but losing to become World Series Champions in 1969. The following year, he became the only Major League Pitcher ever to strike out ten straight batters. Only seven other pitchers in the last 50 years have won more games than seaver did. I loved what i did for a living. It was a physical and mental artform. And i am so lucky that i got to do it for 20 years. Last year the mets made 41 seaver way. 41 is seavers number. Their ballparks official address. Honoring the 12time allstar and his famous jersey number. The team called him his greatest player of all time. I dont think anyone would argue with that. Tom seaver was 75 years old. You must remember him. My heart sank last night when i heard this news. Its not because we didnt know it was coming. We did because theyve announced he had dementia a year ago. But you have to he had an incredible career. 20 seasons. 311 wins. Struck out 200 batters. Ten times ten seasons of those 20, amazing numbers. But that 69 season was magic. Like magic. And you have to understand, america was like it is now. Extremely divided. And this team came along that nobody thought could win, ten games out in august, and on the back of tom seaver and unlukely heroes, won the world series. It lit up america because it was so unexpected. Tom terrific. He was good looking, smart and very, very good and a nice guy. They also called him the franchise and for a reason. The day he was traded in 1977 was, by many people in this city, considered one of the greatest betrayals in the history of new york sports. And the nickname in the 69 season, the miracle mets. Ahead a new report blames the Trump Administration for shortages in a critically important drug for covid19 patients. But first, ahead, ourclusive conversation with Mark Zuckerberg. How the facebook ceo plans to keep political misinformation away from the social network. And a salon owner reacts to House Speaker Nancy Pelosis claim that she was, quote, set up to violate coronavirus restrictions just to get her hair did. Well talk about that.

But hurry, theyre going fast. Toyota. Lets go places but hurry, theyre going fast. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Only on cbs this morning, facebook ceo Mark Zuckerberg is announcing new measures that the social Media Company is taking before the november election. In this plan thats rolling out today, facebook promises to flag or, in some cases, remove misinformation about voting related to the coronavirus. It will also limit political ads in the week before the election. In our exclusive inteterview, zuzuckckerbergrg s says thahat users t to o ha safety and security of mailin voting. Are you worried about people coopting your platform to put information out that mailin voting isnt so safe . So one of the things that were going to be doing is at the top of facebook and instagram, were going to be putting Accurate Information about how to vote by mail and how to do it accurately. But were also going to be acting on content that people try to put out there that says that it is fraudulent. If people post content that broadly is trying to delegitimize the outcome of the election, either by saying things like voting by mail will will definitely lead to fraud or, you know other other things that basically undermine these democratic principles of methods of voting that we know are safe, were just going to add some context to those posts. One of the chief critics, as you know, of mailin voting is the president of the United States. On your own platform in may he says, there is zero, in caps, that mailin ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. In june, rigged 2020 election, millions of mailin ballots will be printed by Foreign Countries and others. The scandal of our times. July, the 2020 election will be rigged. F mailin voting allowed to take place. We could go on and on. How are you handling the president of the United States to let him know and let people who are using your platform know that this is misinformation, is it not . I certainly think that anyones saying that the election is going to be fraudulent, i think thats problematic. I think additional context needs to be added to that. Not just anyone. Not just a regular joe. Its the president of the United States. Yes. This will definitely apply to the president once this policy goes into place and will apply to everyone equally. Have you personally engaged with the president about his post on this particular topic . I dont think recently. I have had certain discussions with him in the past and where ive told him that i thought some of the rhetoric was problematic. If i did talk to him, you know, be clear about how just the importance of making sure that people have confidence in the election. Maybe theyll jump on the phone later today. Some certainly have a lot to discuss. Facebook is taking this seriously. I was impressed with the efforts there. Thri theyve set up sites on instagram and facebook to register four Million People to vote before the election. And already, mark was telling me, that 24 million have clicked on to check it out. The thinking is some of those 24 million will sign up. So you know, theyre going to great extremes to make sure that you can vote, that you can an interesting choice of words. When he calls it problematic what the president is doing. It certainly is. Well see what the context entails. Interested. He knows how to be diplomatic. More of our exclusive interview with Mark Zuckerberg in the next hour. He will reveal some of the other major facebook initiatives the tech giant is rolling out today in an effort to limit election misinformation. Up next and first on cbs this morning, a new report reveals a shortage of a key coronavirus drug. Why the Trump Administration is accused of mismanaging the rollout.

The fda authorized remdesivir for emergency use in may. First on cbs this morning, the Consumer Group Public Citizen says the Trump Administration has mismanaged distribution of the drug to some states that needed it. Our consumer investigative correspondent anna werner has been looking into this. My hands arent able to move as well anymore. I dont know if you can see them. Reporter 34yearold Michael Goldsmith still suffers the effects of his battle with covid19 that began march of began in march. He spent nearly a month on a ventilator. His wife alanna it was scary because i wasnt with him. Reporter scary and frustrating because doctors had wanted to put her husband on remdesivir, but his applications to get it through compassionate use or Clinical Trial were denied. That was the lowest point of the entire ordeal, knowing that he needed this medicine and he could not get it. Reporter more recently, hospitals have reported shortages of the drug. One that medical experts like dr. Helen boucher of Tufts University say can help shorten the course of treatment for a significant number of patients. The longer theyre in the hospital, especially in the icu, the greater the risk of getting a secondary infection. Those can be very severe and even fatal. So anything we can do to prevent that risk is very important for every patient. Reporter but Consumer Group Public Citizen found since july at least 38 hospitals in 32 cities in 12 states have reported remdesivir shortages, and further that states that had large epidemics with more new hospitalizations often received life remdesivir from the federal government. Public citizens peter maybarduk. The Trump Administration assumed control of remdesivir allocations and distribution, and its not going to the right places. Reporter for example, the report says one week in july alabama, florida, and georgia reported the most new hospitalizations. Yet, ohio, despite having fewer new admissions and fewer total hospitalized patients, received far more remdesivir. Georgia got none. Theyre basically saying the administration did not distribute there drug the way they had promised to. Why do you think that happened . We cant know we just know that the Trump Administration, hhs, did not follow its own stated criteria to allocate remdesivir according to hospital burden. Reporter hhs calls that a fundamental misunderstanding of its system. With a senior official telling us on background the government has been able to fairly allocate distribution of enough medicine to treat 650,000 people in a fair and equitable process. In a statement, the white house said any time the Trump Administration has had a request from a governor for increased supply of remdesivir, we have been able to meet those demands. Some Democratic Senators have been asking questions about remdesivir since may, writing in letters to the administration that the remdesivir Distribution Plan appeared to be shrouded in secrecy. Maryland senator chris van hollen. Have you gotten responses to either of your letters at this point . No, weve not heard anything. I think its an indication that the administration does not want to be transparent about its decisionmaking process, and that, of course, hurts all of us. Reporter maybarduk says transparency is key, not justice for this drug but for future covid19 treatments or vaccines. If we are facing this degree of irrationality, this degree of mismanagements today, these kinds of shortages, what will happen when we have mostliy a safe and effective have mostly a safe and effective vaccine . Well have to do much better. If we run into a similar situation with a vaccine, many people are going to suffer. Reporter well, Public Citizen also outlines what it calls Manufacturer Gilead Sciences monopoly over the drug saying that also has limited supply of remdesivir. Gilead on, its part, says that there is adequate supply in the u. S. To meet current demand, and that if hospitals dont have enough of the drug, they should talk to their state department of health. Thats in part because hhs, anthony, says that they allocate to the states, but the states make the decision about which hospitals get this and how much. All right. Anna werner, thank you.

How about that . We like it. Intment. Pelosi spoke to reporters yesterday. I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that ive been to over the years many times. And that when they said what were able to accommodate people, one person at a time, i trusted that.

An attorney for pelosis hairstylist says the salon has been templing these been performing these Services Since april and the owner doesnt wear a mask, the salon owner calls it a slap in the face.

First, yesterday when we talked about it, i said, the optics dont look good for madam speaker. The more you hear about the story, that the owner of the salon went on fox news and then said that nancy was lying, that it was a setup its messy and unfortunate that were even having this conversation to be honest with you.

He and his wife lauren were a different story. The actor said they all tested positive about three weeks ago. We picked up covid19 from very close family friends. And these are people who we love and trust. These are people who we still love and trust, and they are devastated, by the way, that they were the ones who picked it up.

The timing of a vaccine could be influenced by the election. Well talk with the hhs secretary. Facebooks Mark Zuckerberg writes down new measures to protect the election. And drawing attention. Creativity as a form of protest ore racial injustice. Beautiful stuff there. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Another troubling incident ending in a black mans death following an encounter with police in raoshester, new york. The mayor says shes working with the attorney general. Biden heads to wisconsin today armed with data from a fox news poll that shows him up eight points over the president. President trump directs his federal agencies to begin the process of defunding several u. S. Cities that he thinks have allowed lawless protests. The cdc is calling on all states to have vaccine sites fully operational by november 1st. The plans may have more to do with politics than science. If have you engaged with the president about his posts . I said i thought some of the rhetoric was problematic. In england, a parrot belted out the rendition of the beyonce song. Im trying to figure out exactly what we just heard there. You heard the real beyonce and then the parrot. It kind of sounds like beyonce. Shes loved by everybody. Ill stick with the original beyonce. Always. Love beyonce. For the second time this week a president ial candidate is heading to kenosha, wisconsin where the mayor asked them not to come. Democratic nominee joe biden will meet later today with local leaders and the family of jacob blake, the black man shot seven times in the back by a white Police Officer last month. President trump did not meet with blakes family on tuesday, condemning violence that followed the shooting. A new poll shows biden leading the president by eight points in wisconsin among likely voters. In the last three elections wisconsins winner went onto become president. The same poll of likely voters has biden ahead in arizona and North Carolina as well. President trump won all three of those states in 20 16. Now to the latest on the race for the Coronavirus Vaccine. The cdc is telling states to prepare for one sooner. In a letter the agency told state governors to prepare to take steps to distribute a potential vaccine by november 1st. That is two days before the 20 20 election. However the head of the National Institutes of health said it is unlikely that a vaccine will be ready by then. Three possible vaccines are in stage three trials in the u. S. Right now. That is the final stage. We are joined now by health and Human Services secretary alex azar. An interviw only on cbs this morning. Secretary azar, thank you for being here. Were at a crucial moment in the fight against the coronavirus. The reality as well, more than three out of four americans are worried about the safety of the vaccine. And theyre worried that politics is leading it and not science. Im hoping you can alleviate some of the fears. Let me start with why do you think november 1st is a date that could be met and how likely is it . Thank you. And thank you to President Trumps leadership were making historic progress toward a vaccine. We have three vaccine candidates in that late stage phase three Clinical Trial with tens of thousands of people getting enrolled. When that data comes in and we dont know when that data will come in. Its going to depend on actually the rate of infection in the community, where that vaccine, and the placebo are being administered. When the data comes in that will be reviewed by a monitoring board, an independent board, and the data at the appropriate time will go to the fda. President trump made it clear and ive made it clear these decisions will be driven by the standards of science and evidence and fdas gold standards. We have that huge majority of people worried politics is leading and to illustrate why, the first words out of your mouth this morning were President Trump. In your op ed about the vaccine, the first word, President Trump. If you look by contrast, the new england journal of medicine an essay by a team member doesnt mention President Trump at all. That seems to be the difference between a scientific document and a political statement. Can you see how people might be concerned . I think its irresponsible how people are trying to politicize a vaccine to the American People. We have a significant challenge with Vaccine Hesitancy and efforts to undermine competence that hurts people willing to take a vaccine once it comes through. Any vaccine that comes out will meet the gold standards for approval. Weve made that clear. The fda commissioner has made that clear, but we are seeing historic advances. We are literally in phase three Clinical Trials on three vaccines months from the initial initial development of the vaccines. Secretary azar if we get a vaccine, we need to be ready to distribute it. Thats why the career team at the cdc put the letter out to the governors saying in the event everything hits, we need you to be ready to distribute this vaccine. Yeah. Secretary, when you mention the president , it sounds like flattery as opposed to sticking to the scientific facts. Since you bring up distribution, this is not a regular vaccine buzz the technologies have never been approved for a vaccine. And this is a sped up process. Lets talk about distribution. Can you confirm the two companies, vaccine a and vaccine b, it sounds like pfizer and moderna, is that who were talking about . Pfizer and moderna are in the middle of the stage three. Astrazeneca oxford went into phase free earlier this week. At this point its going to depend on how we see the data coming in and when. But god for bid, right now were producing millions of doses of commercial grade vaccine. And god forbid we get great data and it comes out of the data and safety monitoring board, and the fda finds that it meets the standards, and we arent ready to distribute. So we need to be ready for all contingencies. Thats why the cdc is doing this. We should be celebrating the fact its even a potential that we could have approved vaccine ready in the next month or two. But the worst tragedy would be to have an effective vaccine but people dont take it because they dont trust the politics. The date, where does it come from, exactly . Youd have that came out of the career people at cdc working to do the planning. It has nothing to do with elections. It has to do with delivering safe effective vaccines to the American People as quickly as possible and saving peoples lives. Whether its october 15th, whether its november 1st or november 15th, its all about saving lives, but meeting the standards of fda standards of safety and efficacy. Nobody involved in this process is ever going to compromise on making sure that a product someone puts in their body is safe and effective. All right. Secretary alex azar, thank you very much. Ahead, an interview with Mark Zuckerberg on the steps hes taking to control the spread of election we have much more news ahead. Our more Perfect Union visits teenagers.

Only on cbs this morning, we spoke with facebook ceo Mark Zuckerberg about new plans to stop misinformation ahead of election day. Zuckerberg says that facebook is focused on connecting its users with Accurate Information through a voter information center. You see it at the top of every facebook and instagram page. Take a look. Facebook calls it onestop shop. About local election guidelines for registration and mailin ballots. In our exclusive interview with Mark Zuckerberg yesterday, he told us that the tech giant will prohibit new political ads in the week before the election. He also says the companys pr saying there isnt an official result on this election, and directing people to the Voting Information Center where well have the list of all te official results that have come in. Do you have any concerns about campaign ads on your platform . Are you thinking about readjusting your strategy . Yes. Thank you for asking about that. One of the new policies were announcing is were going to block new political and issue ads in the last week of the campaign. And i generally believe the best anecdote to bad speech is more speech, but when theres a vote, then if someone is dumping new information, if its misinformation the last days of the election, there may not be time for the process to play out. Thats why i think its important to have restrictions in the last week. You and i had the conversation about misinformation political ads. There seems to be a contradiction that you wont challenge incorrect political ads, but you will challenge misinformation from candidates. You know, the thing im sensitive is having us be the ultimate deciders of what is right and wrong and true and false in the world. There are a number of cases where we can rely on other authorities around elections we partner with local Election Officials. If someone is saying dont go to this polling place because the lines are long and the local election official says its false, its fine here, well take it down. Its voter suppression. Well take it down no matter who says. This week we learned the fbi tipped off facebook to russian interference on your platform. What did they point out to you that you didnt know . Well, over the last few years, weve put a lot of effort into Building Partnerships with the Intelligence Community and election commissions around the world as well as the other tech companies. So part of the normal Security Apparatus now is that we share intelligence and tips with each other, and between the partnerships we have in place with governments and other tech companies, we were able to find and disrupt this relatively early. Youre talking about what youre doing on your platform to safeguard the election. This is also a personal cause for you and your wife. You announced you were donating 300 million to do what . There have been recent debates about funding the u. S. Postal service, and we just had a lot of conversations about wow, is there anything we can do to help contribute to making sure that all of the infrastructure is funded in the way it needs to be, that they have the poll workers they needed including paying hazard pay for folks to come in. They had ppe for poll workers. We donated 300 million to groups to be able to partner with a bunch of local counties and state Election Officials to make sure they have the resources they need. Ive seen you mull over these things. Im curious about what keeps you up at night. I was thinking about the kenosha guard that was an armed militia that you have said you admitted it was an operational mistake that was using facebook to organize. What went wrong there . Listen, the shooter in kenosha was not a member of this group, but you did take it down after the incident where three people were shot and two died we the 17yearold teenager. Weve spent a long time looking at this. Weve designated him as a mass murder and have taken down all his accounts. We didnt find there was premeditation or anything in the accounts that suggested we missed a signal in advance. Some people did report the group, and we made mistakes in not taking down the group when those reports came in. We did take it down. It did violate our policies but we were slow on that. For militia groups like this, especially ahead of this election, were going to need to be cracking down on this more aggressively in advance of that to make sure there arent any of these groups that could get activated after the election and contribute to civil unrest. Mark zuckerberg announced this morning theyre strengthening their enforcement against groups like that. Especially concerned about what could happen after the election. Hes very, very concerned about that. I thought he made a good point. That just because we dont have the results or that we may not have results of the election, dont think its not a legitimate election. Election. Thats a pivotal role for us, as well. Anthony, he said that. You know, in telling people, look could just were used to getting the final result on selection night. Under the circumstances, this year we may not. Yeah. Be patient. Covid has changed the game. A lot of people now will not be going to the polls. A lot of people will be using mailin ballots. I want to underscore how big a deal it is. Its great that instagram and facebook are giving people information, where to register, how to find thats a great nonpartisan way to help democracy itself. Yes. Theyve never done something that big before. And i also think that its worth noting that theyre giving 300 million of their own personal account. People can say, yeah, theyre billionaires, they can afford it. Its still 300 million, and it still is a lot of money. Huge amount. It is. Ahead, when is a wing not a wing . The man who says a boneless wing should be called something else. I love this story. But what . Youre watching cbs this morning. 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. And because were committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. The geico giveback. Helping riders focus on the road ahead. Ahead, a new generation of protest art reflects the National Movement for racial justice. It can grab people so fast. If i can grab peoples attention, i want to grab it and show how to move forward. Nikkolas smith using creativity to send a m tran04 this is a kpix 5 morning update. They are investigating a possible homicide. They found the body after 8 00. It was on main street. This was near the marine best apartments, searching for evidence now. A car crashed into a tree, shutting down the eastbound capital expressway. One passenger was rushed to a hospital and crews were on scene for several hours. A Police Officer faces charges of voluntary manslaughter for shooting and killing a man who was holding the bat inside a walmart. The das office has been examining the video and other evidence from the case for five months. We are showing a look at the bay bridge and check that out, it is quiet and things are heating up nicely. There are some brake lights around the span into the city but overall, the morning commute is better across the east bay to the city. It is still a little busy across the san mateo bridge. The drive times actually doing okay at around 14 minutes. It is foggy on the Golden Gate Bridge but nothing out of the marin. So youre a small business, or a big one. You were thriving, but then. Oh. Ah. Okay. Plan, pivot. How do you bounce back . You dont, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. Powered by the largest gig Speed Network in america. But is it secure . Sure its secure. And even if the power goes down, your connection doesnt. So how do i do this . You dont do this. We do this, together. Bounce forward, with comcast business. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Its time bring you some of the stories we call talk of the table. You know how it goes we each pick a story that share with each other and all of you. Tony, youre first. Im going to bring all of us a video of a City Council Meeting in lincoln, nebraska. Why would you do that . Well, you shall see. It is a man brought up very seriously addressed a notsoserious issue. Take a look. I propose that we as a city remove the name boneless wings from our menus and from our hearts. We can call them buffalostyle chicken tenders. We can call them wet tenders. We can call them saucy nugs or trash. I dont think were going to call them trash. They taste too good. That is ander christensen. He kept a straight face during his presentation. Even shushed the audience when there were snickers. He argues that boneless wings do not come from an actual chicken wing. Unless youre going to strap those things to the side of a jet, you cannot call them a wing. Theres theyre a chicken tender with sauce, saucy nugs at best. Saucy nugs. Saucy nugs . And he says the word boneless its a chicken tender, just a chicken turned. Ca call it a chicken tender. Im going to have the image of a chicken strapped to the side of a plane all day. His dad was on the council. His dad was one he was talking about it. I love that hes serious about it, hes clearly having fun no, hes dead serious. You think hes serious . I thought he was kidding. I think he cares about language and accuracy, as we do. You do . And he wants a new name for boneless chicken wings. Im going to go with saucy nugs. I agree. Going with that, ander christensen. Can i have some more saucy nugs . Mine is about singer al green. He wants to know whos been altering walgreens signs in pennsylvania to say al greens instead. The memphis crooner thought this was funny. He tweeted, who did this . You can see on the tight shot theres an image of al green taken from the cover of his 1975 greatest hits album. Thats fabulous with the w in the sign turns out its a street artist, cash us king, responsible. Hes been in shock after finding out that al green shared his work on line. Im proud of my cousin, cashus king, hes always very, very funny in the family. This is the thing, cassius king says hes done it before. Some joked that this artist, cassius, is let me start over. People are joking that he deserves a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service or medal of honor. I just think hes got a great sense of humor. I think alt green got a kick out of it. No harm, no fall. I will never look at walgreens the same way. Al green. Lets stay together. Lets. I got an art story, too. My talk of the table is about the power of art in politicl movements. A single image or piece of art cn come to embody an entire movement. We saw it in vietnam, we saw it in the civil rights movement. Now a new wave of political art is emerging across the country. And we spoke to some of the remarkable artists in the new social justice movement. [ chants ] when protests erupted after trayvon martin, an unarmed florida teenager, was shot and killed in 2012, Nikkolas Smith had to process it all through his art. The art is therapy for me. Trayvon martin had been wearing a hoodie when he died. And i created this piece of Martin Luther king jr. In a hoodie. The portrait caught fire across the internet. When that piece of Martin Luther king in a hoodie started going viral yeah what was your first reaction . I was kind of in shock. Thats when i realized like this is a social experiment. If you look at dr. King in a hoodie and say you feel threatened all of a sudden, you say that he looks like a thug, then that was the point to show that its really not about our outward appearance. [ chants ] this past may after the death of george floyd at the hands of police, black lives matter commissioned smith to paint floyds portrait. Theres a particular look on George Floyds face in that painting. Yeah. How would you describe it . I feel like his face is just questioning. Its saying like, how could this have happened . You left the painting kind of unfinished. Yeah. His life was unfinished. When a black lives matter street mural was organized in charlotte, North Carolina, george even nakima knew she had to take part. I dropped everything i was doing because i realized how important this was. Nakimas colorful murals appear all over charlotte. My aim is to embrace the Cultural Diversity and give it some visual representation, and im trying to like recreate the narrative and tell one that is more uplifting and just conveys resilience. On the black lives matter collaboration, she was assigned a letter. You painted the m. Yes. I painted the m. Its a greatlooking m. I do what i can. Thank you. When you stood back and looked at the final prorject, what did you see . I think i saw a lot of hope and a shift in the culture because it was not just black people out there. So it was just a very humbling experience. This is the motto this is the motto history is happening now is the motto for a new outdoor exhibit at the museum of the city of new york called new york responds. Chief curator sarah henry has the daunting task of preserving history as were living it. The role of the artist and the visual image has been important for decades and decades. Because art is visual, its emotional, and its impactful. And its immediate. To capture the moment, the museums curators have been collecting images of both the pandemic and the protests shared on instagram. Its amazing the power a single image can have. Yes. So many movements in u. S. History have taken on a life in a single image. They are just seared in our memories. George floyds face as captured by artists is one of those. It can grab people so fast. If i can grab peoples attention, i want to grab it and show how we can move forward. After the response to his Martin Luther king jr. In a hoodie portrait, Nikkolas Smith launched his sunday sketch series on social media. Every sunday i started creating pieces that reflect whats going on in the world. Kind of based off of nina simones quote of, you know, its an artist duty to reflect the times. Smith had spent 11 years designing theme parks for disney imagineering. Last summer he quit to pursue his passion. Hes made hollywood movie posters and illustrated childrens books. But the tragedies keep coming. In some ways, it must be very difficult for you to do all of these. Yeah. Especially mclean. I took some days to process. Its awful. And then at some point like the grief and the anger takes over. Every time its just like it gets to a boiling point where im like i have to process this through my art. Like i have to. Its a bit of a paradox because as much inspiration as youre getting to make this kind of art, in many ways you wish you didnt have it, right . Absolutely. My goal is that i didnt have a job. I dont want to have any more hash tags, any more people to have to celebrate. These people should still be here. You may have seen smiths most recent viral work, two very notable portraits. The first is Chadwick Boseman as the king of wakanda visiting a child with cancer. The second may be even more meaningful to him, a portrait of his baby, zion, who arrived in july just after we interviewed him, weighing five pounds and six ounces. He already has his own portrait. Our congratulations to nikkolas and his lovely wife vanessa, who i also talked to. Very proud parents at this point. As you see, this has proved to be an incredibly inspirational time. Not necessarily in the most positive way. But these artists are very important to whats going on. I like what he said, art is visual, emotional, and immediate. I love what you said to her when you said, its a very good looking m. I thought, well how how good looking could it be . You showed it and went, whoa, that is a good looking m. I do what i can. And nikkolas, good lord history is happening right now. Yes. Were living through it. It adds an edge to everything that we see each day. You make a wonderful point there is so much material now, so much inspiration. So much of it you dont want. No. All the wrong reasons. What did you see that made you think theres a story here . My father is a painter and artist. So im very affected by visual things. I was stunned by the images that came out of particularly out of g George Floyds death. There were portraits that were moving. Here its happening again. I remember as a kid growing up during the vietnam war, there were p. O. W. Imagowerful images symbolize everything. You see it and have an immediate reaction. You thought let me find out whos doing it. We went to find the people making images that were spread everywhere. And Nikkolas Smith i believe hes in california. Wow. Very good you can hear more of our conversation with artist Nikkolas Smith on the cbs this morning podcast. Bravo. Ahead in our a more Perfect Union series, how a group of chicago teenagers turned an Old Liquor Store into a fresh food market. What . How did they do that . And they brought nourishment and most importantly in a more Perfect Union, we hall of fame to shshow that greater than what divides off. George floyds death set off marches across the country. How one group transformed a looted liquor store into something the community needed. Reporter this summers unrest in chicago following the killing of george floyd left many young people feeling lost. I really felt like corned and confused as to why i couldnt be part of the change i wanted to see. Reporter to help, 15yearold azaria and keith turned to their Afterschool Program by the hand club for kids which organized listening circles with mentors like former Chicago Bears mary sam ocho. The conversation revolved a lot around despair. It was almost like they were being devalued not only with seeing black people getting killed but also seeing just the rioting and the looting that ensued. Reporter out of the destruction, they saw an opportunity. Build a fresh food market where a looted liquor store used to stand. My neighborhood is a food desert. Its also 12 Liquor Stores in a onemile radius. You have to go a mile and a half just to see a fresh food market. You would think that a Grocery Store in your community would be like a basic necessity, but thats not for us. Reporter but the project would cost half a million dollars. So ocho enlisted 14 other athletes to help. Guys donated from 1,000 to 100,000. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It was a great feeling. Oh, my gosh are you crying . No. Hes just excited. Realli. Donita who runs the club had been trying to close the liquor store for ten years. How did you feel when you saw it in do come down . One of the best days in my life. The kids, theyve been through so much over the last five months. They wanted to show everyone that theres positive things happening in this community. Provide economic status to our youth reporter they studied pricing and marketing to be ready for opening day. Two, three [ cheers ] reporter does it make you feel like you can do anything . Yes. Skys not the limit. Stars not the limit. Reporter for 12 weeks the students will work the market after school, and it pays well. How does that feel . Going to make me act up on camera, man. Reporter how important is it to have Economic Opportunities and jobs in areas where there arent enough . Its incredibly powerful. People who had economic status stepped in and helped us get this achieved. Now were getting people in our Community Economic status, and with that we can do anything. Reporter and the community is thankful. Can you believe that where were standing used to be a liquor store . No. I cannot believe that. Its turned into something finally beautiful in life. Reporter the neighborhood in need nourishing itself. For cbs this morning, adriana diaz, chicago. What a great feeling to be a teenager and think skys not the limit, stars not the limit. People go their whole lives and dont get that feeling. Bravo, bravo to that. To have a job after school thats not only good for the neighborhood but is putting money in your pocket.
