He says hes learned a lot. First todays eye opener. Its your world in 90 seconds. The American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in our history. It was a very civilized debate where you got to hear the conversation. Even if the questions werent answered sometimes. The American People deserve a straight answer. If you havent figured it out, the straight answer is they are going to pack the Supreme Court. After taking the experimental drug regeneron, the president called the drug a cure and said hell make it free fr anyone who needs it. I think this was a blessing from god that i caught it. The commission on president ial debates announcing the second president ial debate will be virtual. Im not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. You sit behind a computer. Its ridiculous. Hurricane delta churns toward the gulf coast. We are facing lifethreatening storm surge outside of the levee protection system. Facebook will ban political ads for an indefinite period after the polls close on november 3rd. All that he went viral on tiktok. Ocean spray saw the video and gifted him a new truck. And all that matters. Yes there is a conflict at the white house between a cnn reporter and a raccoon. Now, no events on the presididents schedule today. On cbs this morning the big debate story was a fly that landed on the Vice President s head. It stayed on his head for 2 minutes and three seconds. Technically that fly is now his running mate but anyway, mike pences fly just became the most Popular Halloween costume of 2020. This mornings eye opener is presented by progressive. Making it easy to bundle insurance. Welcome to cbs this morning. We were watching that fly last night as everybody was. At some point they said is the fly alive . Did he just die . He stood there so long. You knew this had to happen. The fly already has a twitter account. 90,000 followers. Lots to say this morning. And thats where we begin not with the fly but with the Vice President ial debate where senator Kamala Harris and Vice President pence clashed on many issues including the pandemic. Harris called it the greatest failure of any president ial administration ever. Pence strongly defended President Trumps response. The candidates were protected by plexiglass panels among concerns that pence splay been exposed to the white house outbreak. Also harris was the first black and asian woman on a vp debate stage. Nikole killion was there. And it certainly felt different than the last debate. Good morning. Vice president mike pence and senator Kamala Harris interrupted each other a handful of times last night but, for the most part, this was a much calmer debate than what we saw last week. And both campaigns say they feel good about their candidates performances. The American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in the history of our country. Reporter separated by plexiglass, Kamala Harris wasted no time talking about trumps downplay of the virus to, in his words, prevent a panic. How calm were you when your kids couldnt go back to school. How calm were you when your children couldnt see their parents because you were afraid they could kill them. Reporter Vice President mike pence defended the administration. What i want the American People to know that from the very first day, President Donald Trump has put the health of america first. Reporter and said the biden harris plan was nothing new. Quite frankly, when i look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new ppe, developing a vaccine, it looks a little bit like plagiarism. Whatever the Vice President is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasnt worked. Reporter at times, the Vice President dodged questions. How would you describe our fundamental relationship with china. Thank you, susan. Let me before i leave that, let me speak to voting records, if i can. Would you want your home state to ban all abortions . Well, thank you for the question, but ill use a little bit of my time to respond to that very important issue before. For her part, harris wouldnt say if a Biden Administration would attempt to add seats on the Supreme Court. Joe has been very clear, as the American People are, let the American People fill that seat in the white house and then well fill that seat on the United States Supreme Court. I just want the record to reflect she never answered the question. Thank you. The next debate, joe biden will answer the question, but i think the American People know the answer. Reporter there were interruptions repeal the trump tax cuts. Mr. Vice president , im speaking. Im speaking. Reporter but far fewer than the last debate and the candidates did get to issues like health care. Obamacare was a disaster. The American People remember it well. President trump and i have a plan to improve health care and protect preexisting conditions for every american. Reporter but the president has not provided a comprehensive plan and harris pointed out the Trump Administration is trying to dismantle the Affordable Care act in court. If you have a preexisting condition, heart disease, diabetes, Breast Cancer, theyre coming for you. If you love someone who has a preexisting condition thank you, senator harris. If you are rnd the age of 26 on your parents coverage, theyre coming for you. As you showed earlier, perhaps the most talked about part of the debate was not the fly on the wall but the fly on the Vice President s head. About 15 minutes later, bidens campaign flew into action tweeting an image of biden with a fly swatter using it as a fundraising opportunity. Today Vice President pence and senator harris are campaigning in the battleground state of arizona where biden will join his running mate. Nikole, thank you. Now to breaking news about the next president ial debate. The commission on president ial debates made the october 15th event virtual due to the coronavirus. President trump who is still being treated for covid is not happy with that decision. Ben tracy is at the white house following all of it. Ben, whats going on . Good morning. President trump says debates should be done in person so he is not going to participate. Instead, holding a Campaign Rally on that night. Now the Debate Commission did make this decision without consulting the campaigns, although former Vice President joe biden says he will show up. President trump is also making new claims about his health. Im not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. Thats not what debating is all, about you sit behind a computer and do a debate. Reporter during an interview with fox business, President Trump says hes not going to waste his time on a virtual debate. Trying to protect biden. Everybody is. Reporter he insists hes feeling great. Praising an experiment at antibody cocktail he was given to treat his coronavirus infection. I feel perfect. Theres nothing wrong. I had a case. I got it knocked out. I think it was regeneron that was responsible for it. Because of that, it was sort of like almost a gift from heaven. Reporter that echoed his statements outside the oval office wednesday. It just made me better, okay . I call that a cure. Reporter there is no cure yet for the virus and the treatment the president received at walter reed, according to one analysis, would cost the average american more than 100,000. I want to get for you what i got. And im going to make it free. Reporter the drug made by Pharmaceutical Company regeneron is currently only available to Clinical Trial participants and has still not yet been approved by the fda. Earlier wednesday, the president s doctor released another very brief update on his condition saying President Trump has been symptomfree for more than 24 hours and has detectable levels of covid antibodies in his blood. But those are likely due to his treatment and not an immune response. On that phone call, the president also made light of his ability to recover from the coronavirus. I am back because i am a perfect physical specimen and im extremely young. And so im lucky in that way. I dont have heart problems. I dont have diabetes. I dont have any of the problems you read about. Perhaps a couple of pounds we can lose here or there. Theres a lot of people in that category. Late last night, regeneron asked the fda for an emergency use authorization for this experimental drug that President Trump claims, without evidence, cured him. The company says initially it will have enough doses for about 50,000 patients. Thats far less than the hundreds of thousands of doses President Trump says are ready to go. Ben, thank you. Were joined by our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook. Good morning. How does this experimental treatment work exactly . Anthony, remember there are two phases. That first phase, about a week long, the virus is multiplying in somebodys body. In the second phase, that inflammatory phase, the bodys immune system is overreacting to that virus attack. Its that overexuberant reaction that can cause so much damage. What you want to do is in the first week try to somehow decrease the amount of virus or effect of the virus. Thats what this Monoclonal Antibody does. It prevents the virus from actually attacking and infecting a human cell and that with remdesivir are two approaches to try to decrease the viral effectiveness, the viral load and viral damage in that first week. We heard the president call it a cure. Is it . Its too early to say that its a cure. Remember that there are symptoms. Thats how somebody feels and signs. Thats actual data. He says hes feeling well. Im sure the president s doctors are happy about that. But remember hes on steroids which can mask symptoms, mask fever and make him euphoric and increase his mood, cause insomnia. So really, right now, theyve got to watch to see the not only the symptoms but the signs. What are the blood tests showing, the xechest xrays. Is it safe . Are there side effects . You know, so far it does seem to be safe at least in he regeneron study. It showed people who got the placebo had no had about the same number of side effects as the people who got the treatment. In terms of the way it works, these are humanized antibodies and theres been a long history of them being used. And they do seem to be safe. But again it is experimental and with any experimental treatment you have to follow it and see is there some unexpected side effect. Dr. Jon lapook, thanks for being with us. People in louisiana are filling sandbags and boarding up windows for the sixth time in the last few months alone. Hurricane delta is headed their way growing more powerful and threatening to hit the state as early as tomorrow. Delta barreled through cancun and cozumel yesterday our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is awaiting the storm in southern louisiana. Good morning to you. Welcome to cajun country, my hometown. Were used to hurricanes happening here. Whats different about this, it could be a repeat. Hurricane delta is, as of now, projected to make landfall within 15 to 20 miles from where hurricane laura made landfall just six weeks ago in lake charles. You there were for it. That would be incredible if the same people devastated by laura get hit yet again. Lets start with what delta did in mexico. Were in a pandemic ght now. And knowing that were going to have close quarters this whole entire time with a hurricane, trying to figure out how were going to do what we could for our family. Reporter this is not what the detalo family from south dakota was expecting on their vacation. Riding out hurricane delta at a packed shelter in Playa Del Carmen as the storm slammed mexico with 110mileperhour winds. The mayor of cancun spoke about fallen trees and utility poles that were down which made the roads impassable. Around 266,000 customers had lost power. We saw this with hurricane laura. Reporter now it is louisiana bracing for another impact. People filled sandbags wednesday as they prepared to hunker down. Just six weeks after hurricane laura ripped through this area as a category 4 hurricane. For us to actually have to go through this and witness this again, its breathtaking. Reporter jasmine jack lost her lake charles home to laura. That city was devastated by the hurricane. And its residents are still digging out of the wreckage. While we were there, we saw construction crews fixing a roof as the sun was setting on a warm louisiana night. Debris from laura still litters the streets, windows are boarded up and it makes people continue leaving louisiana. Ive been thinking about leaving, and this kind of giving me the reason to do it. Reporter this morning, along the louisiana gulf coast there are mandatory and voluntary evacuations in place in different places. As we take a look at the radar, you have delta in the gulf right now. Its expected to strengthen to a category 3 at some point today. But heres the catch. As it gets closer to the louisiana coastline, the water is cooler there. So its believed that delta will weaken to a category 2. By comparison six weeks ago, hurricane laura was a category 4 when it hit this area. Landfall is scheduled for, give or take, five 5 00 or 6 00 local time tomorrow night. Man, david, you look at those stories and go how much more can we take . How much more . Please, 2020, enough. Thank you very much. These louisianans are resilient bunch. Yes, i know you guys are. I know you guys are. David, thanks.

Only on cbs this morning, part two of our investigation into the alleged lack of diversity at the nations premiere Law Enforcement agency. Now, yesterday you heard from a group of black former fbi acts ca agents calling for change. Did you know only 4 of fbi agents worldwide of black . This morning two former agents who fought during their careers to level the Playing Field for fellow black acgents are speakig out after a summer of racial reckoning in this country. They say the lack of diversity at the fbi has now reached crisis levels. They spoke exclusively to our reporter. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, gayle. Fbi Officials Say they are dedicated to diversity that it is a core value, but the former black act agents we spoke to sa they experience and witnessed something entirely different during their decadeslong careers inside the fbi. When the culture is not conducive to minorities, you have an obligation to speak out. Reporter eric jackson was the special agent in charge of the fbis dallas field office. I believe a crisis is happening. The seventh floor in the fbi is where decisions and policies are made. Right now there are no africanamericans on the seventh floor. Reporter of the top ten leadership positions in the fbi, all are held by white men. What has occurred is what a lot of psychologists collins stugsallized racism. Reporter as head of the fbis black Affairs Diversity committee, jackson says he got a firsthand look at how the upper ranks of fbi leadership kept blacks from climbing the ladder. As the only blackson in the room and i hear people talking about we want to prevent, we dont want to change the culture, thats code word for me that we dont believe that there is a problem. Reporter you think thats code words . Oh, absolutely. When you leave out of a room youre demoralized. Reporter several former black agents cold cbs news that managers inside the fbi who are mostly white tend to only promote individuals who look like themselves. First of all, the numbers are horrific. Reporter black women make up only 1 of the 13,000 fbi agents around the world. Jennifer love retired in 2012 as an assistant director, reaching the highest rank of any black woman in the fbis history. It became tiring. I would go in and everybody looked the same. White men with their dark suits on, their white shirts, the blue and red ties. Reporter love says she was a champion for the fbi. Even appearing in recruiting ads. Near the end of her career as the bureaus head of security, she oversaw the mandatory polygraph examinations for new recruits. I had a stack of letters from black and brown people who failed the polygraph thought they were being asked inappropriate questions. Reporter she crunched the numbers and discovered black applicants were disproportionately failing the polygraph exam. Her proposal, videotape the polygraphs to create accountability. I can tell you internal to my division, they were opposed to it. Reporter they didnt want to do it. They didnt want to do it. Reporter the number of black acts s agents in the fbi hovered so long f low for so long they created this. Black agents historically only have made up about 5 of the fbi. A number lower today. To sit here today and hear that the numbers have gotten gotten worse, and the personal sacrifice. Listen, i moved my kids eight times. Two divorces. Okay . I can love the bureau and want it to be accountable, but youve got to believe that its necessary. Reporter eric jacksons successful career came to an abrupt end last year. I saw the glass ceiling. Reporter he was guns for an executive position, only six in the entire fbi. He was told he wasnt eligible, because his rank. Jackson says the bureau changed the eligibility rules while he was applying and the job went to a white agent with similar credentials. Other black special agents in charge. We noticed that, and the message was sent loud and clear that the rules didnt apply to us. Reporter jackson retired last year after 21 years with the fbi. How are you going to respond to people who just say this is sour grapes . If they think this is sour grapes then they dont understand whats going on, because if if we dont look like the community we serve, how can that Community Trust us . Reporter all of the former agents that we spoke with say they are coming forward, because they love the fbi. In the meantime, fbi Officials Say that director wray expressed a willingness to discuss some of the issues raised by our report. While they regret he was not able to schedule an interview before the report aired, officials tell me that director wray expressed a willingness to sit down and discuss some of these issues in the coming weeks. Gayle . Let me tell you, encouraging to hear. Im thinking there needs to be meetings on the seventh floor. Its heartbreaking to hear how these agents operated, dedicated to the agency and treated this way. Seems a lot of questions need to be answered. Reporter well, there are, and i have to say, gayle, since our first report aired weve gotten a lot of emails from other former black agents and some phone calls as well. Hmm. All right. To be continued. Really nice job. When you hear the numbers, guys . 4 black. 1 are women. Must be missing a number there . And going in the wrong direction. They say once you hear it, you cant act like done hear it. Now that you know you know, maybe there will be some change. Very well done. Ahead, alright, everyone, we made it. My job is to help new homeowners who have turned into their parents. Im having a big lunch and then just a snack for dinner. So were using a speakerphone in the store. Is that a good idea . One of the ways i do that is to get them out of the home. Youre looking for a grout brush, this is garth, did he ask for your help . No, no. No. We all see it. We all see it. He has blue hair. Okay.

Well have analysis from both sides of the sooil. Facebook cracks down taking new measures. How the threat became too big to ignore. And Jimmy Johnsons last lap. Why the driver is retiring and what he thinks the sport needs to do a midst the push for social justice in america. Nd a our opener for 8 00. The Vice President ial debate where they clashed on many issues including the pandemic. This was a much calmer debate. Both say they feel good about their performance. The commission has made october 15 event virtual. President trump not happy. Not going to waste my time. Thats not what debating is about. He said debates should be done in person and hes not going to participate and instead hold a Campaign Rally. Delta is expected to stren h strengthen to a category 3. As it gets to the coastline, the water is cooler there and it is believed it will weaken. Senator harris you through some blows that were dodged how interesting. My god, look his hair. Hes attracting flies. It stayed there over two minutes. It made a life there. It joined sole cycle and mixed at the bars and changed Voter Registration to mike pences head. Joined sole cycle. It does Say Something when the topic of conversation about the debate is about the fly. I had no idea what he said in the time the debate was there. I had to go back and watch it. Right off the back, the commission has announced next weeks second debate between President Trump and joe biden will be held virtually given concerns about the perfect easys health as he battles the coronavirus. This follows last nights Vice President ial debate. It was some what more civil than last weeks president ial debate. There were disagreements over topics like the pandemic. Vice president pence supported the response. The American People have witnessed the greatest failure of any president ial administration. Theyve forfeited their right to reelection. Harris said she would not take a Coronavirus Vaccine if only President Trump said it were safe. She would take the word of scientists and led pence to undermining politics. Stop playing politics with peoples lives. The reality is we will have a vaccine before the end of the year. It will have the capacity to save countless american lives. Your continuous undermining of confidence is just unacceptable. We are joined now by a Senior Advisor to obama and President Trumps previous joints of staff. Vice president and senator harris were a return to normalcy. I dont think many people were j yelling at their tv like a at the president ial debate. I dont know if it needed a return to normalcy but it turns to training the trajectory of this race. What do you think voters heard that could change their vote at this late stage in the game . Sure. Good morning. Thank you for having me. It is a Vice President ial debate, so if they dont really move the needle a whole lot but i do think there were a few things Vice President pence did that were effective. He pivoted back to Kamala Harris a number of times. One thing you heard a lot of was the issue of fraking and energy and the Green New Deal because the Trump Campaign has put a lot of stake in the outcome in pennsylvania. Fraking in western pennsylvania is a big deal for jobs. Kamala harris is very vulnerable. They wont answer the question on the Green New Deal. That is one thing very effective. Second thing is that the Kamala Harris would not answer the question on whether or not they would pack the courts. Talking about dismantling a key institution. Pack the Supreme Court to expand as a reaction to the Supreme Court battle currently taking place. Those two things are important. Again, Vice President ial debate. Ask lloyd benson how it did for him. He got a ticket back to texas. If people are saying lloyd who . Thats the point. Fraking, Vice President pence said they want to ban that. Is there is variation there. Ill go to you. The gender dynamics. Senator harris the first black woman on a vp ticket. Not a lot of interruptions. There were some. She took to saying mr. Vice president , im speaking. How do you think that played with voters . I cant tell you how many women are in meetings where they are consistently interrupted by mend she checked him and she sent a signal that you you are not going to be able to run rough shod over me and im going to deliver my message. Weve heard President Trump has Just Announced he is not going to do a virtual debate. Hes not going to waste his time sitting behind a computer ridiculous. What do you make of that given the conditions of joe biden saying, look, i dont want to debate him if hes not covid free. A lot of people are nervous about his condition. Could you start that off, please . Sure. I think it would be a colasal mistake to announce this before getting a signoff from both sides. It would be very odd if they didnt have signoff. Usually, there is a back and forth just like the plexiglass. You have to make sure biden or the other party doesnt have a teleprompter. There are problems with a virtual debate. Do you understand the president s position on this and why hes not going to do it . I understand the position because it debates should be face to face. They should find a way to do this whether it is put them both in different rooms next to each other. You can see how big brother does it on cbs. They can figure out a way to do it. It is great to know you you are watching big brother. Back in the day like 20 some years ago. Sure. Thats what i say about real housewives too. I used to watch it. My wife watches it. Me too. Valerie, what do you have to say . So gayle, good morning. First of all, families all across our country have had to make adjustments. Major sacrifices. 2 210,000 people have lost their lives. I think theyve made a decision based on science. I think it is another exam people of President Trump ignoring the best interest of people around. None of that should happen. We should be as safe as possible. If that means it should happen virtually, lets do it virtually. It is yet another example of his disregard to our health and safety. What they have done is success in terms of how theyve handled this covid19, telling me what failure looks like. I want to circle back to something, the harris biden decision not to answer directly, are you intending to expand the Supreme Court. Why do you think they are doing that . Why not just answer . I think senator harris made a very smart decision rather than getting lulled into a hypothetical down the line. She focused on where we are right now. We are in the midst of an election. It is unprecedented to have a hearing and Supreme Court justice this close to the election. She usesed her time wisely to talk about what is at stake here. Families are worried about health care. She went through the analyses of what is at stake if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed. Taking the position that Affordable Care act is unconstitutional. People with preexisting conditions, children couldnt stay on parents plans after the age of 21. Thats what people who are watching at home are worried about. What is going to happen to my Health Insurance in the event it is ruled unkoconstitutional whe the president will replace it. We are running out of time and not going to be able to get to the fly moment. Valerie and lance, thank you we appreciate it.

He says he wants to be sure that campaigns dont use the platform to declare victory prematurely, or argue an ongoing vote count means the election is rigged that would be dangerous.

Reporter at the time of that september interview, facebook banned new political ads the week prior to the election. But now its extending that ban to all political ads after polls close as well, with no set end date. Theyre scared. Reporter ewired ed fer in chief believes facebook executives are facing pressure from employees and the media to take action to better control the platforms political content.

Moving on, seventime nascar champion Jimmie Johnson hoping to be a driver for change both on and off the racetrack. A longtime friend and supporter of Bubba Wallace. Love him, too, the only black driver in nascar top tier. What looked like a noose later found to be a door pull was found in wallaces garage at talladega speedway. Featured in o magazine. Jimmie johnson reads, think about ways to make it more inclusive. Today johnson honored for his own inclusion efforts with a nascar drive for diversity award and right now we are happy to say, hi, Jimmie Johnson so good to see you. Hello. May i say when you thank you. Great to be on the show. My other job is at oprah magazine. When you agreed to write the tribute, we were doing the hula jimmie says, yes, people applaudings we were so excited. You share in the writing saying you and bubba have were friends a very long time, close to 15 years but never had a discussion with him about the challenges of being the only black driver in nascar. Once you two started talking about it, it was revealing to yous why did you Start Talking and what did you learn . How did it affect you . Well, really, with George Floyds passing, bubba and i just started talking about that topic, and i realized in the conversation that bubba today deals with things ive never dealt with, still. And ive known him for so many years, and weve always talked racing and kind of current life events but never gone there, and then once we went there, it inspired me to talk to many other friends of mine in the black community, hispanic community, far and wide, and it was much more revealing than than i was aware. So i put that on myself and spent a lot of time learning and listening, and certainy grew a lot in these last few months and in understanding the big picture as Many Americans have and many around the world, for that matter. I love you wrote bubba was stopped by police and how bubba handled it. Now you said how you would have handled it. Yeah. Two totally different scenarios and that was an example of just how different my experience has been versus his. Yeah. You said, i dont know if i would have held my tongue. The point im making. Because i think its, its really refreshing for you to Say Something like that, to say, i never really thought about anything like that. And i wouldnt have accepted that kind of behavior, the way he was treated. The cop specifically said to him, can you afford this car . That was tth question they said to him. Exactly. Yeah, and im confident thats not a question that i would receive being pulled over. Now nascar has banned the confederate flags. You have a lot to say about that because some are still flying at nascar. What do you think when you see that . What do you think people need to know and understand . That its hurtful, and i do respect the argument that everybody has a right for freedom of speech and expression, but youre welcome to do that on your private property. When youre at a sporting event or a public facility, inclusion should be the top priority, and to fly a flag that is hurtfu and painful for many is just not acceptable, and im proud of nascar and the efforts theyve made this year to really remove the flag from the tracks, and in bubbas, hes a huge part why that all happened. Jimmie, in the oped you write how you were disgusted when you first heard of the news. Nascar later said it was a garage door pull. I wonder what your conversations with bubba were like when he was going through that . That news came out in, i guess, maybe saturday evening, prior to our race. And i had already gone to sleep and woke up to the news, and as soon as i read it i texted bubba i wanted to stand with him during the National Anthem. Just as a friend wanted to be there with him. I couldnt believe what i was reading that morning. Word traveled i was intending to stand with him and other drivers asked if it was okay if they were involved. Im like, of course. Absolutely. Within a few hours, team members, team managers, everybody wanted to figure out how to show their support and other drivers came up with great ideas, and thats kind of how we evolved from me standing with him at the national, for the National Anthem to all of the drivers pushing his car down pit road and the entire garage area falling out behind in support. Stunning moment. A stunning moment. Jimmie, Michael Jordan recently became the first black owner, nascars first black principle owner. Do you think thats going to make a difference . Without a doubt. I mean, its Michael Jordan. His voice in sports, outside of sports. Yeah, Michael Jordan. Its massive. Im happy for michael, known him for a lot of years and know his upbringing here in the north compare carol area and being close to nascar and being a sport he and his family would attend and watch together. So im happy hes involved nor many reasons and i think the pairing with Bubba Wallace even denny hamlin. I like what you said, jimmie. Number one, hes michael jord. Start with that. Good things happen when the Michael Jordan. Correct do you ever see yourself racing with team jordan . Because bubbas now going to be his first driver. Do you see yourself possibly racing with them . That would be very cool. I would be open to it. Im in transition right now, but my focus is on indycar here in the years to come. Okay. But i dont think people would be mad to see you and bubba together with Michael Jordan. I like that picture. I would take the call and talk about it for sure. All right, Jimmie Johnson, thank you, thank you, thank you for joining us this morning, getting up early and writing that piece in the magazine. We were excited about it and really appreciate it.
