Its a very dangerous condition. Two officers shot during protests after a grand jurys decision to not charge officers in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. Do not sully her memory by engaging in violence. Totally inappropriate for that to happen. President trump praising kentuckys attorney general for his handling of the Breonna Taylor case. Really brilliant Kentucky Attorney general is doing a fantastic job. I think hes a star. Lawmakers heard testimony on the latest Pandemic Response efforts. Preliminary results appear to show that most americans have not been infected with the virus and are still vulnerable to serious illness and death. Ruth Bader Ginsburg arrived at the Supreme Court for a final time. It was said that shed want to be an opera virtuoso but became a rock star instead. The team doctor accidentally punctured his lung. All that, during a sweet moment, a friend trying to take pictures and video. And all that matters. I wasnt able to vote because i was a felon. Thank god they changed this law. I want to hear mike tyson say the words participating in a democracy. Im sure youve already seen that grand jury in kentucky has not returned any indictment or charges against the police who shot Breonna Taylor. Its a tough day. I think we have to rage. We have to rage in love, but we have to stand up for the values of our humanity. And our life matters more than matters. Its divine. And i dont think that this is something that we can ever let become normal. Welcome to cbs this morning. Very well said. A lot of people still reeling over the decision yesterday. Thats where we begin. A lot of anger over the grand jurys decision in the Breonna Taylor case. Two officers were shot last night during the protests. That is not okay. Two officers involved in taylors death were not charged. Now the shootings marred what had been a largely peaceful demonstration of outrage in a city where a state of emergency had been declared in advance. Other protests across the country remained peaceful with thousands marching for change late into the night. All of this renews the call for accountability and how police deal with black americans. Our National Correspondent Jericka Duncan is in louisville. Jericka, lets start with that shooting last night which threatens to undermine that message. What do we know . Yeah, good morning. Well, right now we know that those two officers who were shot at were transported to a local hospital and are expected to be okay, treated for what appear to be nonlifethreatening injuries. But all of this comes at a time when a city is still grapple with the death of Breonna Taylor and now the words from the state attorney general here that the officers who killed her were justified. Officer down. Right there. Officer down. Reporter it was a frantic scene around 8 30 last night after two Louisville Police officers were shot. Interim police chief r Robert Schroeder says a suspect is in custody. One is alert and stable. The other officer is undergoing surgery and stable. Breonna taylor reporter although protests started peacefully, some people set trash cans on fire. Around 100 people were arrested. The protests came after months of waiting for a decision in the killing of Breonna Taylor. Former louisville detective b t Brett Hankison was indicted but not related to breonnas death. The grand jury voted to return an indictment against detective hankison for three counts of wanton endangerment, for wantonly placing the three individuals in apartment 3 in danger. Reporter hankison was arrested and released on bail. The grand jury concluded he wildly fired ten shots and endangered the lives of a pregnant woman, a child and a man who were in an apartment next to taylors. Officers Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove will not face state criminal charges. The use of force by mauthly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. This justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges in ms. Breonna taylors death. Reporter taylor was killed on march 13th as they executed a search warrant for drugs or money. Neither were found. Her boyfriend believes the police were intruders so he filed a single shot which hit mattingly in the thigh. Police returned fire. Six bullets hit taylor. Somebody kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend. Reporter walker has maintained police did not identify themselves before they used a battering ram on the door. Cameron said the officers did knock and announce. That information was corroborated by another witness. Reporter law professor Collin Miller has worked with taylors family. He believes the grand jury did not hear all of the evidence. And we have several witness accounts from neighboring apartments. The neighbors saying we never heard the police knock and announce. Reporter taylors family Attorney Ben Crump called the decision to not charge any officer in taylors death outrageous and offensive. It continues to disrespect the black women they have permeated in American Society since they first brought us here in 1619. Reporter the fbi is also conducting an investigation. One of the things theyll be looking at is whether or not police obtained this warrant using false information. And hankison is also under investigation by an fbiled task force into allegations of Sexual Assault unrelated to Breonna Taylors case. Jericka, thank you. Kenneth walker was charged with attempted murder of a Police Officer after the raid in march but those charges were later dropped. He is now suing the Louisville Metro Police claiming misconduct. Early this morning we asked his attorney, steven romines, about the jurys conclusion that the officers actions were justified because Authorities Say that walker was the one who fired the first shot at them. Well, in every other situation in kentucky, a justification of selfdefense is determined by a jury. And it should be in this case as well. When we start letting elected politicians determine who should be charged and who shouldnt, then we are going down a very dangerous road. It is the exact opposite of the way our criminal Justice System should work, and unfortunately, it happens oftentimes in Police Shooting cases. That the prosecutors say, well, the police were acting in selfdefense. The police do not have any higher right to selfdefense than any ordinary citizen does in kentucky. Now because steven, wasnt isnt your client saying he was acting in selfdefense . When you listen to his 911 call, he clearly didnt know they were Police Officers. Absolutely not. And that is why the case was dismissed against him was that he was acting reasonably acting in selfdefense. And hes in his own residence. So he has a presumption that hes acting in selfdefense. Weve got a dozen neighbors who were interviewed by police as well who said they never heard the Police Announce that they were police. Theres no question they were beating on the door. But they never announced as police. Attorney general cameron said, well, the two police said they announced. So were going to start taking the word of the targets of the investigation as exculpatory . They also said they had a witness who said that correct. Heard the Police Announce themselves. Yes, and that witness, that witness, gayle, was interviewed by the police three days after this happened initially. And he stated, i did not exact words. Did you hear them announce as police . He said, i never heard anyone announce as police. He was subsequently interviewed two more times over the next month by law enforcement. He eventually says, yeah, i yeah, i may have heard them announce they were police. In fact, i saw a uniformed Police Officer. Thats after the shooting had already occurred. There seems to be some confusion, too, about the ballistics in this case. What do you know about that . Well, i know the ballistics done by i know what the ballistics done by the Kentucky State Police show and that it was whether or not Kenneth Walker shot or hit sergeant mattingly, it was inconclusive. Ive got the documents. And the attorney general camerons got the document slrkss but i dont know why he wants to play these games about talking about small portions of the evidence and not releasing the entire file. Release the entire file and let people make their own decisions, which is the same thing of, indict them. Apply the presumption of innocence, apply the rule of reasonable doubt. Let them go to trial. And if they are acquitted like everybody else, fine. But do not by prosecutorial fiat say theyre innocent, exonerated and im going to decide they dont get prosecuted. Well, there are still the other thing about it, gayle, is the issue of selfdefense justification in kentucky law does not apply when you kill a third party. If they are acting in selfdefense on Kenneth Walker as they claim, they dont get to kill Breonna Taylor as well. All right. And thats the law. So him telliing us what the la is in kentucky, thats not the law. Steven, so many questions in this case. All of it very upsetting. What we do know, its also not okay to shoot at Police Officers in the streets. The violence has got to stop. Violence on top of violence on top of violence. It will get us nowhere. But i really thank you for taking the time this morning. Many, many questions remain. No problem. Turning to 2020. President trump is deepening the threat of a constitutional crisis after the november election. He has refused to promise that hell leave office peacefully if defeated. Ben tracy reports on the president s most direct challenge yet to the legitimacy of the vote. Will you commit to making sure theres a peaceful transferral of power after, the leks . Well have to see what happens. Ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots. And the ballots are a disaster. Reporter President Trump has not provided any evidence to support his ballot claims. He also suggested getting rid of mailin ballots. You want to get rid of the ballots and youll have a very well have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer. There will be a continuation. Reporter this isnt the first time the president has said he may not accept the results if he loses. Its a rigged election. Its the only way were going to lose. Reporter last night, former Vice President joe biden blasted the president. What country are we in . Look, he says the most irrational things. I dont know what to say about it. But it doesnt surprise me. Reporter President Trump is also once again at odds with his own health experts. Hours after fda commissioner stephen hahn tried to reassure the public that a vaccine wont be rushed science will guide our decisions. Fda will not permit any pressure from anyone to change that. Reporter President Trump, who has said a vaccine could be ready by election day, claimed the white house will have the final say. Were going to look at it. Were going to take a look at it and ultimately, the white house has to approve it. Competing in North Carolina wednesday, biden also criticized the president s recent claim that virtually nobody, except older americans, is dying of coronavirus. So you go home and your mom gone. Your dads gone. Hes a virtual nobody . Reporter the white house is denying reports that dr. Deborah birx, the coordinator of the White House Coronavirus task force has been sidelined in favor of the president s handpicked doctor, scott atlas. But dr. Birx and other members of the task force have clashed with atlas who has questioned the use of masks and called School Closures hysteria. Anthony . Ben, thank you. The white house is also taking aim at the cdcs newest guidance on the coronavirus as our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud reports. Its director warns a vast majority of people in this country remain at risk. Most americans have not been infected with the virus and are still vulnerable to the infection. Reporter thats the cdc director dr. Robert redfield. He urged americans on wednesday not to let their guard down. Announcing that preliminary findings from a new nationwide antibody study shows that about 90 of americans are still susceptible to the virus. Yeah, i think dr. Redfield misstated something there. Reporter that is the newest member of the White House Coronavirus task force, dr. Scott atlas. He challenged dr. Redfields report saying he was partially relying on old data. Dr. Jon lapook its a basic rule of Public Health. You need have one message. No mixed messages. And you want to hear that from people who spent their career figuring out, how do you explain complex Health Issues to the public. Reporter and then this moment on capitol hill yesterday. Dr. Anthony fauci clashed with senator rand paul over Public Health orders. And what role theyve played in keeping the virus at bay in new york city. They are looking at the guidelines that we have put together from the task force. Or theyve developed enough Community Immunity that theyre no longer having the pandemic because they have enough immunity in new york city to actually stop it . I challenge that, senator. Im afraid please, sir, i would like to be able to do this because this happens with senator randall a the time. You are not listening to what the director of the cdc said. In new york booits about 22 . If you believe 22 is herd immunity, i believe youre alone in that. Reporter not only is dr. Fauci right, but new york city is getting it right. The test Positivity Rate here in the city and even statewide is roughly 1 . But the citys not taking any chances. As are businesses. The famed new york opera, the metropolitan opera behind me, they announced yesterday theyll not reopen until september of next year. Its the first time, gayle, theyve skipped an entire season in 140 years. A lot of people making big changes. Very Interesting Exchange between rand paul and dr. Fauci. Both sides feel very strongly on their positions. Thank you, david. For a second day today, americans will pay their respects to justice ruth Bader Ginsburg lying in repose outside the Supreme Court. Thousands stood in line yesterday, a slow and somber procession against a backdrop of rapid activity over ginsburgs replacement. The president plans to announce his nominee, he says osaturday. As jan crawford reports, hes pushing the senate to act very fast. I think the system is going to go very quickly. Reporter President Trump, who on wednesday could not commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses, said its better if a Supreme Court nominee is confirmed before the election. Just in case it would be more political than it should be, i think its very important to have a ninth justice. Reporter as the president weighs his options his week, the leading contender to replace Justice Ginsburg is judge amy coney barrett. Shes a favorite of the d. C. Republican establishment which is lined up to push her nomination. In 2016, following the death of justice antonin scalia, barrett told cbsn she did not think theres a clear rule for either side in the debate over repla replacing Supreme Court justices during an Election Year. It shouldnt be a surprise that the senate is willing to push a president s nominee through in an Election Year when they share the same political affiliation. Reporter on wednesday, Justice Ginsburg arrived at the Supreme Court for the last time. Inside the great hall, a private ceremony for the eight justices, her family and her friends. It has been said that ruth wanted to be an opera virtuoso but became a rock star instead. Reporter chief Justice John Roberts spoke with affection as he honored ginsburg. Among the words that best describe ruth tough, brave, a fighter. A winner. But also thoughtful, careful, compassionate, honest. Reporter outside, mourners, including senators, the clintons and Vice President mike pence paid their respects as well as thousands of americans lining up to say goodbye to a hero. Of course, she will live on in what she did to improve the law and the lives of all of us. Reporter now Justice Ginsburg will lie here in repose until later tonight while the public continues to pay its respects. President trump is going to stop by some point later this morning to pay respects of his own. Gayle . Very touching day yesterday. Thank you very much, jan.

We have an exclusive first look at a coronavirus Testing Program designed to help americans feel more comfortable about air travel. United airlines is rolling out this Rapid Testing in San Francisco for flights to hawaii. If it works there, united hopes to offer testing options at its major hubs across the country that potentially could allow americans to travel internationally again. Kris van cleave is at Dulles International airport outside washington. Hows this going to work . Reporter well, good morning. The day could be coming where every one of these planes as they taxi out is full of passengers who have just been tested for covid. Were not there yet. This program is starting small, but if it can work to hawaii, united hopes it could be used to get americans flying all over the world once again. Im getting tested. Reporter united employee Eduardo Marquez is getting the rapid tests passengers will soon be taking hours before departing for hawaii. It was simple, fast, not invasive at all. Reporter united is the first u. S. Airline to roll out a covid Testing Program for passengers starting october 15th. Bay area flyers bound for hawaii will be given the option to order an athome testing kit or reserve a time for a rapid test at the airport. And we really see this as a great opportunity to provide access to testing for our customers, to get them back in the air and traveling as safely as possible. Reporter hawaii has been largely closed to tourists since march, but next month with proof of a negative covid test result within 72 hours prior to arrival, the state will waive its twoweek quarantine. Hawaii officials will verify those results as flights come in. Richard pagano flew to maui wednesday. It got me out of quarantine for two weeks. A lot of extra time back to me. Can also make sure im not getting my friends sick or anyone who is like in the risk zone sick. Reporter the Rapid Testing at sfo is already available to airport and airline employees. It takes about 20 minutes from arrival to result, and initially will cost 250. The athome kit will be 80 plus shipping and go to this San Francisco lab for processing. Flyers will have results within 48 hours. United hopes to eventually expand testing options to its hubs across the country in cities like new york, chicago, and los angeles. Being able to identify a positive case and pull them out of a Public Health situation and put them in isolation and then be able to kind of window that group of individuals will have an impact. Reporter john f. Kennedy and newark airports are working with a private company to offer passengers flying any airline a rapid covid test before departure. A recent survey found threefourths of flyers support preflight covid testing. United sees this effort as a major step toward reconnecting the u. S. With international travel. Airlines are pushing for, quote, air bridges between major cities like new york and london that would require preflight covid tests for all on board. There does appear to be lawmaker support for the socalled air bridges, as well, linking major u. S. Cities to international cities. Love tanz athe german carrier, says it will begin Rapid Testing passengers next month. That airline has set up two testing sites at german airports for arriving passengers. American airlines tells cbs news it, too, is considering Rapid Testing for passengers. Gayle . Okay. So i just want to make sure i got this straight. So you get the test before you get on the flight and you get the results before you get on the flight, correct . Reporter correct. The idea is that you would have that negative test result before you boarded the plane and flew hawaii. Okay. I heard something different. Are they planning to do it in other places like new york to california or new york to chicago or or or new york to d. C. . Places gayle wants to go . Places that anthony loves to go to. Are they planning other markets . Reporter first o all, who doesnt want to go to hawaii . Who doesnt want to go to hawaii. Youre right. Reporter think this as a crawl, walk, run approach. They want to start with a small sample, make sure that the process works, that the testing is well received, and that theyve got the capacity to expand it. And then grow from there. All right. Kris van cleave, thank you very much. Hawaii, they could say, is a good start. Number one, it was just named the happiest state i was going to talk about that later. More to come on hawaii. Okay. Ill stop talking about that. And that its the numberone vacation destination, bucket list place ive had the rapid test and got a results in 20 minutes. Its not as deep as the other one. Sounds like a game changer. Give it to everybody immediately. Open schools, open offices very expensive. But if you need results in a hurry i will say i dont think weve seen kris van cleave on the tarmac. Usually theres more traffic with planes. I think its a marker of where we are as a country. Im getting one today, a covid test. And i still dont get use today to that thing up the nose. The back of the brain, yeah. Not cute. Im not a good patient.

Her point is making it a hat day so we can watch you i like it. Time for vlad. Here is what to watch. Taking a look at some stories we think youll be talking about. California is set to be the first state to ban the sale of new gasolinepowered passenger cars by 2035. That is 15 years from now. Governor gavin newsom said hes issuing the executive order to fight the impact of Climate Change. If you want to reduce asthma, if you want to mitigate the rise of sea level, if you want to mitigate the loss of ice seats around the globe, then this is a policy for other states to follow. A lot of people want to see that happen. His office estimates the action would cut Greenhouse Gas emissions by 35 . California already requires a percentage of new car sales to be electric or zeroemission vehicles. Of course, i ride a bike, so im not too worried about this. But its a good move. When he lays it out, it does seem like a good idea. This is one of those massive issues that could end up with the Supreme Court along with the tailpipe emissions in california. What they can do can force the country that way. There are legal challenges. Why the Supreme Court matters. They say 80 of smogforming pollution comes from the transportation sector. Yeah. 15 years from now. Theres a ways to go before we get there. Hope were all here 15 years from now. Gayle youre usually optimstic. Come on. I want to be here. Im planning on being here. I want to be here. President trump is getting real and sharing his feelings about prince harrys wife maegan. The president was asked about the video message for Time Magazine encouraging people to vote in the upcoming election. Check it out. When we vote, our values are put into action, and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter because you do, and you deserve to be heard. Not a fan of hers. And i would say this and she probably has heard that but i wish a lot of luck to harry because hes going to need it. Oh, man. Wow. That was a i get the feeling may be mutual in the fandom. The duke and duchess didnt directly tell viewers to vote the president out of office, but they urged people to reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity. The prince stepped back from royal responsibilities. In the fairytail books i read thats a fairytale. I think thats over the line for me. I think thats a lot. Im thinking shes not losing much sleep over that. I think theyre doing okay. Theyre in california look at them. And doing good work. Exactly. Exactly. Heres somebody else doing good work a Tennessee Woman turned the coronavirus threat into something good for herself and the animals around her. You love it. You love it in your pool. I didnt know thats the sound that they made. Sami harvey opened out of the woods wildfire rescue and rehab. She decided to pursue her lifelong passion after she was furloughed from her job by the pandemic. Harvey got her license over the summer and is thrilled to be doing something she loves every day. Thats the sound they make when theyre happy. When theyre staring you down from a tree outside your room a different sound or you true to shoo them away from the garbage can. Exactly. That is an interesting sound. When i heard it, too, i go, what, how do you describe that . A trilling [ sounds ] raccoon sound. Trilling. Shes doing something she loves. So many people are out of work and suffering right now. To be able to turn this into a positive, we applaud her. Good job. Beautiful thing. Vlad, thank you so much.

Outrage for Breonna Taylor, peaceful protests of a grand jurys decision marred by a Police Shootings in louisville. Well talk with a family attorney. Biggest threats. A conversation with former National Security adviser about efforts to undermine the upcoming election. And how a group of teenagers hopes to strengthen our democracy with knowledge. Its part of our series a more Perfect Union. Young people thinking ahead. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Theres a lot of anger about the grand jurys decision in the Breonna Taylor decision. All of this at a time when the city is still grappling with the death of Breonna Taylor and the words from the state attorney general at the officers were justified. The attorney generals findings that the police were justified in shooting because they say your client shot first. What do you say to that . In every other situation in kentucky, a justification of selfdefense is determined by a jury. President trump is deepening the threat of a constitutional crisis after the november election. Ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster. Justice ginsburg will lie in repose until later tonight. President trump will stop by later this morning. It turns out researchers in finland are turning to coronavirus sniffing dogs. I know you love dogs, but these are working dogs. Im sure the virus sniffers are all no nonsense, stoic oh, my gosh, thats a good boy. Whos going to save thousands of lives . You are. Yes, you are. Whatever it takes to diagnose coronavirus safely, im okay with that. Anything to get me out of that nasal swab, its okay. Were going to begin with this on cbs this morning. Protesters taking to the streets across the country after a decision not to charge Louisville Police officers in the death of Breonna Taylor. Two other officers were shot overnight in louisville during clashes between the police and protesters. They are expected to survive. Other commdemonstrators set fir. More protests in new york, dallas, washington, atlanta and dozens of other cities. Breonna taylor was shot and killed when officers served a drug warrant no drugs were found. Only one officer is being charged but with endangering neighbors. Jericka duncan is with us. How are conditions right now . Reporter there have been a few people that have come to the memorial site praying over the city, really, but the National Guard has been activated. Theres a 9 00 p. M. Curfew to make sure anything that turns into a violent demonstration, if you will, does not take place. I want to go to the video from last night that were talking about. This came from the Louisville Metro Police department. This was the moment the officers were shot. Police have a suspect in custody. We learned within the hour that suspect is a 26yearold, the officers are expected to survive. Protests began after a grand jury announced a former officer was indicted with wanten endangerousment but for firing shots into an adjacent apartment. Kentuckys attorney general said the fbi determined a detective fired the shot that killed taylor, and the Kentucky Attorney general saying the officers were not charged because they acted in selfdefense. Kenneth walker, the boyfriend there that night said that police did not announce themselves. He also believed that the Police Officers were intruders. Thats what he says happened. The fbi continues to carry out its investigation so there could be federal crimes to come. That investigation not expected to wrap up any time soon. Anthony . Jericka, thank you. Joining us now is the attorney representing Breonna Taylors family. Good morning. You said a week ago that at a minimum the three officers should be charged with Second Degree manslaughter. What do you make of the Kentucky Attorney generals explanation has to why none of them were charged . Breonna taylors family as do me and my cocounsel, we think its just outrageous. Its offensive. Were still trying to figure out what evidence did Kentucky Attorney general present to that grand jury . Did he present any evidence on behalf of Breonna Taylor . Because if he didnt, he unilaterally decided that he was going to exonerate these Police Officers and that breonna would never get due process that she would never get justice, and so we are demanding that he release that transcript so we can see if there was any evidence that breonna had any voice in that grand jury proceeding. The attorney general spoke to Breonna Taylors family yesterday, did he not . What did he say . He spoke to them about ten minutes before everything was released to the public, and he did not go into the nuances. They were not told that the wanten endangerment charges were for the white neighbors apartment and not for breonnas apartment. Did not tell them there were no charges for the bullets going into breonnas body. Did not tell them that the black neighbors that have bullets go into their apartment did not have any wanton endangerment charges. There seems to be two Justice Systems in america. One for White America and one for black america. This was shown yet again in the grave mischaarriage of jus injustice. We talked to Kenneth Walkers attorney in the last hour. He told us he feels its a coverup. Would you use that phrase, too . Well, i think it was a shammed proceeding. Thats why were demanding that the grand jury transcript is released so people can see if anybody spoke for breonna in that grand jury proceeding, because black women lives matter, and Breonna Taylors life matters. The fact that not just black people but if you are a parent of a daughter, a parent of a child, you should be troubled by this, because Tamika Palmers daughter, Breonna Taylor was killed in the sanctity of her own home, and our system is trying to say its justified, its okay. And just because they say its legal, gayle, that dont make it right. We know throughout history they have said things are legal, but that dont make it right. Yeah, and thats what i keep thinking. I keep thinking about the family today and how theyre processing their grief while theyre still calling for peace. Its not okay that two Louisville Police officers were shot in the streets. Luckily theyre going to be okay, but how is the family processing their grief . Theyre awarded 12 million. On some level, somebody thought they had been wronged in this case. And to have no charges, nobody held accountable for the death of their daughter. You know, gayle king, that is the hard thing. The civil settlement was significant. It set a precedence for systematic reform and speaking to the value of black womens lives in society, however, as Tamika Palmer says, she wanted accountability, the officers to be held accountable. So it would serve as a deterrent so we can prevent future Breonna Taylors. She is trying to define the legacy of her daughter in the chaos of all of this, and she really wants that legacy to be to prevent these unjustifiable killings of people of color with nobody being held accountable. Ben, yesterday the attorney general for the first time said that they had a witness who claimed that the Police Announced themselves before they went in. We had not heard that before. Had you heard that before . We had heard that before, but i want to put this in proper perspective. Our legal team has 12 witnesses. 12 neighbors that say they did not hear the police knock and announce, and this alleged witness that they keep presenting, he apparently gave two previous interviews where he said he didnt hear the police knock and announce. So the day he only presented his perspective and then the presented the other 12 neighbors, then he has unilaterally made a decision on whether or not breonna would ever get due process, whether she would ever get justice, and that is not right. Yeah. Kenneths walker attorney made that point. This witness has apparently changed her story. Its called a no knock warrant for a reason. You dont announce yourself. Several witnesses there, including Kenneth Walker when you hear him, he said he had no idea who these people who came into his apartment. He thought he was acting in selfdefense to save himself and Breonna Taylor. There are many questions in this case, and i know youre working hard. Thank you for joining us this morning. We appreciate your time. Thank you. Ahead, President Trumps former National Security adviser, thats general hr mcmaster, joins us to talk about the biggest threats he believes are facing america theres much more news ahead.

That gave us the time to celebrate the things that connect all of us . Retired Lieutenant General h. R. Mcmaster served in the army for 34 years, but is perhaps best known publicly for his 13 months as President Trumps National Security adviser. Hes been in war zones and gone head to head with foreign adversaries. Mcmaster tells us what he learned from all those experiences in his book, battlegrounds the fight to defend the free world. And general mcmaster joins me now from the campus of stanford university. General, good morning to you. Many people have taken your book and shaken it upside down hoping dirt falls out, but they have been unable to find any. So i will skip all that and just cut to the substance and issue that i know worries you and certainly worries me, and that is potential election chaos. The fbi is warning that foreign adversaries may seek to exploit divisions post election and doubt in the process. The president has talked about doubting the process. Hillary clinton has told joe biden not to concede if its messy. To you, sir, are you worried about whats going to happen the day after election day . Tony, first, thanks for the opportunity to be with you. Yes, i am worried. And the story that i tell in battlegrounds is one of how russia is trying to drag us down. Russias not that strong, you know, their economys about the size of texas. They have some real problems with demographics, the collapse of oil prices, and so forth, and putins coming under more and more pressure. What putins trying to do is trying to be a last man standing. What he wants to do is polarize us, divide us on the issues that already divide our society. Issues of race and gun control and immigration, and pit us against each other. A great way is to raise doubts about our our democratic principles and institutions and our processes and especially the election. What do we do i think for all americans we have to really be cognizant of this danger, tony. How do we temper the situation which is obviously volatile when you have russia involved, as you say, they are weak. But people who are not weak, President Trump, former secretary of state hillary clinton, they are also commenting on the election and fueling the idea that its going to be messy and potentially stolen one way or the other. How do you quiet things when you have our leaders involved in the fight . Well, thats a big problem. I think all of our leaders, the president , everyone, you know, Vice President biden, everybody i think has to send a simple clear message to the American People that we can secure our election process. And i think the American People ought to be proud of what our government has done. I mean, under the trump administration, to secure elections after 2016. As you recall, theres a lot of progress made between then and 2018. The russians were in many ways foiled in their efforts to raise doubts about the 2018 election and to to create another crisis of confidence. Some of those reforms involve standing up new organizations to protect information election infrastructure, but then also our Cyber Capabilities are much more agile now. We can combine a good offense with a good defense. But i would just say to you and your colleagues, i mean, what you do as journalists is so important. We need authoritative sources of information now more than ever. Yeah. And its in social media and the pseudomedia where russia kind of has a field day. They use this to move us to extremes and reduce our confidence in who we are as americans. Yeah. Weve been telling voters to be patient, that this could cake some time to count all the votes. But im curious, what was your reaction our job is made more difficult when you have an exchange like the president had with the reporter yesterday. He was asked could you commit to a peaceful transfer of power. That is conventionally known as a softball question. The president did not say, of course i commit to that, he instead continued to undermine confidence in the vote. Im curious, knowing what you know about russia and foreign actors, what was your reaction to hearing the president say that . Its one of disappointment. I think we have to have confidence in the system that our founders set up. Su you know, our founders were worried about factions, what we now call political parties. They had very muh in their minds that the bloody experience of the english civil wars in the 17th century. And many of our founders didnt want parties to exist at all. So i think its really important for us to have confidence in the system they set up and especially separation of powers. We do have traditional review. There are armies of lawyers from both parties already out there. We have to have confidence in the checks and balances that our founders set up. General mcmaster, one of the remarkable things about you is in addition to your career in the military, you also have a ph. D. From unc chapel hill. On top of that, you have an extreme nonpartisan position. You, in fact, do not vote, sir, and have not in your career. I am curious, though, now that you are retired, will you vote in 2020 . Well, im having a discussion about that with my family. Its a big change. What are they saying . When i was 17 years old, you know and so i really im trying to figure out now what my role can be here in my second career and how im going to participate in our democracy. What i really wanted to do with the book and what i hope i can do in the discussions like this after, you know, after its publication is help bring americans together. As were at each others throats, these great challenges to our security, theyre not going away. And in many ways, the crises that were encountering today, covid19 and so forth has cotlized these challenges catalized these challenges. Theyre counting me off. Its a meaty read. I will agree with that. Thank you so much. We hope you come back. Very important conversation. Thank you so much. And the book is battlegrounds, and is on sale right now. Well be right back. Good morning, its l 8 25. Im len kiese. Around 200 demonstrators took to the streets of oakland overnight marching to city hall. The crowd angry over the lack of charges in kentucky for the officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. Protests are expected to continue in oakland over the next few days. The creek fire burning in fresno and madera counties is now the largest single blaze ever in california. 452 square miles nearly the size of los angeles. Right now 34 contained. Governor gavin newsom has signed an executive order banning sales of new gas powered cars by 2035. He cited Climate Change as the reason to encourage drivers to switch to electric cars. And im just getting word of a new trouble spot. Northbound 87 on the northbound 101 connector. Weve got a car a couple of cars actually tangled thereupon and its causing a bit of back up for the ride through the south bay this morning. Other than that, 101 itself actually moving pretty nicely for the most part if you are going from san jose over towards sfo. 38 minute drive time. Most of our freeways are in the green with the exception of that Altamont Pass commute. 205 over to 680 about 30 minutes right now. Still foggy across the Golden Gate Bridge. And we still have a minor backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. Mary . Well, im tracking that stronger onshore flow. Its the reason why we have the foggy conditions along the coast and right around the bay and even cloudy this morning in our inland locations. Good air quality for today. That clean and fresh air. Slightly cooler temperatures this afternoon. Compared to yesterday. 86 in concord and 82 san jose and 74 for oakland and 68 for San Francisco. We do have a high fire danger as we look to the weekend welcome back to cbs this morning. Its time to bring some of the stories we call talk of the table. And anthony, youre in pole position. I want to take note that the legendary french singer and actress juliet grecco died yet at the age of 93. Greco was a muse to intellectuals and philosophers in bohemian postwar paris. She had millions of poems in her voice, some said. She was also a fashion icon with her cleopatra eyeliner, bobbed hair, and black clothes which were pretty radical in the early 50s. Paul mccartney once said michelle was inspired by juliette greco. She also had a long romantic relationship with american jazz trumpet legend miles davis who was asked why they didnt get married. He reportedly said, i love her too much to make her unhappy. Wow. Thats one way of looking at it. I feel like bohemian postwar paris will be on your list of places to go with a time machine. Absolutely, and i would hope she would be there singing. I have always loved her song. I love that song michelle my bell these are words everyones smiling. If you want to smile some more yes, please you might want to take a trip to the happiest state in america. A little place called hawaii. Yeah. Not a big surprise here, i have to say. A new study by wallethub, hawaii came in number one, happiest state, some of the runners up i think are interesting and surprising. Utah which is beautiful, minnesota, paging jamie yuccas, maybe she can explain. The next two i have experience with andyon i dont know why theyre included. New jersey and maryland. You putting down new jersey . Mostly maryland. New jersey, i associate with Bruce Springsteen is from there. Yesterday was his birthday. Thats thats a good place. Yeah. People need to realize 71. And new jersey is beautiful once you get past the ring bon jovi. A lot of stuff happens in new jersey youre right. I have to confess i was kind of shocked it was up there, too. Yeah. Its based on rates of depression, divorce rates, hours exercising, work life balance. I was on the new jersey turnpike last night and was not happy. Wonder where new york ran on that. I would be cure yours to see that. Mine is forrest gump. Weve seen the movie. One of the most famous scenes in the movie was almost never made. You remember this that day, for no particular reason, i decided to go for a little run. He decided to go for a little run. Run. In the film it was there years, two months, 14 days, and 16 hours. Get this forrest himself, tom hanks, revealed in a recent interviewer that the movie studio said it could not afford the shoot, the iconic crosscountry run. Can you imagine the movie without it . No. The director and hanks decided to pay for it out of their own pockets. The studio agreedto give hanks a bigger share of the profits in return. You could see really good investment. This movie earned 677 million worldwide. According to one estimate, that gives tom hanks around 65 million, along with, oh, by the way, an Academy Award for best actor because life is like a box of chocolates. Tom and bob paid, but whatever it is, its not 65 million. I like the attitude of im going to bet on me, so i will pay for this. I like that. Wow. Thats a great investment. Yeah. Hard to imagine that movie, right, without that scene. Impossible. You liked the movie very much. And tom hanks, too. Leading antiracism scholar, thats ibram xkendi, is calling for justice after a grand jury cleared Police Officers of any charges for the killing of Breonna Taylor. Former detective Bret Hankinson was indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment for shooting into an occupied home next door. Taylor, an emergency medical worker, was shot and killed by police, as you know, during a botched drug raid in march after her boyfriend shot at them thinking it was a robbery. Kendi tweeted in part yet that to be black in america is to walk in the valley of the shadow of pain and death. Right now, our love of Breonna Taylor is filling us with rage. Kendi is a cbs news contributor and professor at Boston University and author of New York Times bestseller how to be an antiracist. He joins us this morning. Im so glad youre here this morning. I got to tell you this is extremely hard to process. You know, number one to hear that there were charges, all right, but it was because of shots fired into the apartment next door where no one was killed. Breonna taylor in her own home, unarmed, was shot six times, and no one is going to be held accountable. How are we to process this . I think many people, particularly many black people are processing this and black women in particular black women in particular, seems like yet another slap. Go ahead. No, it does. And it seems as if black women, it seems as if black people are simply not being protected and defended in the court of law. Particularly as it relates to Police Officers. It does not seem it is blatantly apparent to people that when it comes to an unarmed black woman and white cops that they are not essentially equal in the face of the law. Thats a problem. There is not equal justice. You know, why would those officers have to shoot 32 times, you know, in that apartment when someone clearly was thinking that they were being robbed. I mean, its just unfathomable to people, and its enraging to many of us. Yet it keeps happening. Some will say, listen, the court system has spoken, there was an investigation, and maybe its time to accept the facts of the investigation. Even the attorney general yesterday said sometimes, you know, the law doesnt always go along with what has happened. That he followed the case law as it is written. Well, then the case law needs to be rewritten because, you know, as Martin Luther king said, there are laws that are just, and there are laws that are unjust. And so its argument is that this is the case law, then clearly Breonna Taylor did not cause her own death. The people who killed her should be held to account for her not still being with us right now. For her not being one of those people right now on the front lines fighting coronavirus. Yeah. I hate that its become a black white issue because it is a black woman. But should should white people be concerned about this, as well . I think its white people can certainly look at the fact that black people are disproportionately being killed by police. But they could also see that white people are being killed at higher levels in the United States by the police than people in other countries. And even for white people, its very difficult to charge, let alone convict, an officer who ended up killing an american citizen. And so to me this is a part of a larger problem that i think all americans should recognize. I cant help but think what the outcome would be if it had been three black officers who had shot a 26yearold white emt who was serving on the front lines. I cant help but think how different maybe this case would have been. Tony, sorry life was on the cusp of changing. Its tony dokoupil. Thank you for joining us this morning. I want to ask you to address directly an entrenched idea out there, particularly in White America. Its something i hear from viewers in fact, justice this morning i heard from viewers. You mentioned black people disproportionately likely to be killed by police. It is pointed out to me often that, oh, that must be because they are disproportionately likely to be involved in violent crime. I was just sent today the fbi data on arrests, and there are more black arrests around violent crimes. When i get that response from viewers, when you hear that point of view, that idea, whats your reaction to it . I just dont see the relationship. Again theyre saying because black people, according to the fbi data, are involved in more violent crime, it then follows that they would be in more violent altercations with police. So like with like and, therefore, this is just whats to be expected. Well, i think we need to first and foremost reimagine what the cause is. Again, its either because black people are so violent and theyre so reckless with the police and thats why theyre being disproportionately killed. In other words, theres something wrong with black people. Or theres something wrong with our criminal Justice System. And eive been arguing for monts that to say theres something wrong with any group of people, any racial of group is to express a racist idea. And to me, there are people who are white who who engage in violent altercations with police. And those Police Officers used restraint. They deescalate the situation, which is precisely what they should be doing with that white person just as they should be doing with with black people, but theyre not doing with black people because of this idea that black people are dangerous, violent animals that need which they need to use lethal force because they fear for their lives. The symptom of a deeper issue. It is. And thats why for me we can be critical of Police Officers, rightfully so, but lets forget that americans commonly believe that black people and black neighborhoods are more dangerous. That americans commonly connect blackness with criminality and danger. So this is a largescale sort of problem just as, you know, Police Officers dont write laws. And certainly attorney generals, you know, and so we need really a change even in our case law, and we certainly should not be protecting anyone who is killing another american. Exactly. Including people taking shots at Police Officers. I also think that is just as egregious on the flip side. Thank you very much, ibram xkendi. May we say congratulations on your time 100 honor, on the time 100 most influential people list. It just goes to show your work is more needed now than ever before. Congratulations to you. Cant wait to get my copy. Thank you, gayle. Youre welcome, sir.

[ chants ] reporter from protesting gun violence to rallying against Climate Change, generation z has raised its voice to change the world. I think generation z is the most diverse, most educated, and more interconnected generation. We have a unique perspective and a unique energy to not only change significant issues in the country but change the systems behind the issues. Reporter 17yearold fenosi is one of those change makers. In may, 2019, he cofounded civics unplugged, an organization helping more than 400 students craft and fund their passion projects. They all serve a common goal. Its to push america forward, to get kids more educated, and to serve democracy. Weve learned that we can harness the power of change, and we can take our specific and unique strengths to actually turn change into action. Reporter 16yearold year wanted to give peers a productive outlet after covid19 canceled summer plans. She cocreated an online civics camp. Were all living through unprecedented times, and we figured why not make a use out of the time we have at home. Reporter 18yearold harvard freshman tarina wanted to see more empathy in public policy. She started a think tank called the greater good initiative. Working to write nonpartisan policy in the areas of education, Public Health, economies, simple rights, and environment. Reporter these are teenagers writing policy for the u. S. Government . Yes, and we have like 70page briefs.

Reporter do you think your generation gets a bad rap . Yes, we have the reputation for being engrossed in technology. The cool thing is were using those things to achieve some missions. Sending messages on tiktok about empathy, social justice, about how to vote or using instagram and snapchat to amplify stories that havent been heard. If i can cause 100, 200 kids to become inspired and start their own projects, i think my work has been a success. Reporter fenosi says civics unplugged, which is nonprofit and nonpartisan, has partnered with major foundations securing 1 million in pledges to support these student projects.
