Were going to begin with this. Weve got major new details about millions of americans might be able to take a vaccine against the coronavirus. Cbs news has obtained a document from the governments operation warp speed and according to their estimates, december 15th has been marked as the date for states to start receiving the Pfizer Vaccine. Thats two weeks from today. The Moderna Vaccine would first become available a week later on december 22nd. Now the goal is for at least 20 million americans to start a vaccine regimen by the end of the year. That, of course, would be desperately needed good news as the u. S. Hits 28 days in a row with more than 100,000 new cases. Officials warn it might soon get a lot worse than that. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in evansville, indiana. David, good morning to you. You know november was the deadliest month in the pandemic for the state of indiana. Now officials are worried about the spike in hayess d cases due people who traveled for thanksgiving. If you are tired about hearing about the restrictions and rules, what we should and shouldnt do, imagine the frontline workers who have been dealing it for the last eight months and havent had a break. Our nursing staff is getting fatigued at this point. This is dr. Gina huhnnke. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is taking a toll on frontline workers. And nationwide the flood of new coronavirus patients is showing no signs of slowing down. Hospitals in new york state are alsh gernor to announce Emergency Hospital measures. Now his plan includes a call for retired doctors and nurses to return to the front lines. In the new battlefield, Hospital Capacity is the top concern. Reporter to the west now, the line of people waiting to get a coronavirus test at dodgers stadium in los angeles scratched for miles monday as cases across california continue to spike. Governor gavin newsom warned he May Institute lockdowns in the hardest hit counties to try and slow down the spread. You can see in middecember, california, the icu beds will be at 112 capacity. Despite an accelerating crisis, Many Americans are still resisting basic efforts to control the virus. Ill resist. And im not the only one who will resist. Reporter take rapid city, south dakota. Last night residents debated implementing a stricter mask ordinance after that state led the nation in coronavirus deaths per capita this month. Its just a mask. Wear it. This is a Public Health crisis. I dont know what else to say. Reporter the measure passed 9 to 1 but some businesses can opt out and houses of worship are exempt. In other parts of south dakota, some local leaders are taking no chances. This is a mandatory mask checkpoint set up by the Cheyenne River reservation. 1 in every 4 tests here is coming back positive. To slow the spread, the largest city was placed on a tenday lockdown. Tribal chairman Harald Frazier says the reservation has only eight hospital beds for the 12,000 people that live there. If you want to get to the nearest icu, you have to drive three hours away. Our main priority is to save our people. And just we know that if there is a vaccine, its going to be a long time coming. We as indian people, were always at the back of the bus on whatever it is. So i guess well just have to wait and see. Reporter regarding those checkpoints, the chairman was telling us, they use them for Contact Tracing to ask people, where are you going and when are you coming back because some people are leaving the reservation to go and buy food. They are coming in contact with someone who is infected and then bring that back to the reservation. One more thing before we go. The state of ohio, they have a republican governor, mike dewine. Did you hear that members of his own party have drawn up articles of impeachment against him. They say hes abusing his power for things like mask mandates and occupancy limits at businesses. Right now, ohio is at an alltime high when it comes to covid19 hospitalizations. It fieeels like he has to do something. Were going to speak to governor dewine in our next hour. Today a cdc Advisory Panel is meeting to vote on recommendations about who will get the vaccines first once theyre approved by the fda. Cbs news medical contributor, dr. David agus, joins us to discuss that. David, always good to see you. When you hear 20 million, that sounds like a big number, but its not a big number when you consider how many people need the vaccine. So who gets it first . We keep hearing the elderly or other vulnerable or frontline workers. Is it an either or situation . Do you have to choose between the two groups . Well, were going to see the end of today a recommendation by the immunization Practice Committee of the cdc. You have about 20 Million Health care workers in the United States, 3 million longterm care or nursing home residents in the United States. And you have about 20 million doses initially. And so to me, you have to even though its myself, you have to put people at the front line who are risking their life to help others, and you have to vaccinate them to enable to care for others. And when you look at the percentage of deaths in longterm care and Nursing Homes, it is dramatically high. 40 of deaths in the country are those individuals. So they are very at risk. Those two populations, i think, will be first. And then were talking about elderly. Other frontline workers. You know, people with medical issues and disabilities. But those put the numbers in the hundreds of millions who are going to require it. Over 100 Million People with medical issues and elderly in this country. So its going to be difficult that second one, but we need to get the vaccine out and hopefully it will happen soon. Looks like well have a choice between two vaccines. Which one are you recommending to the people that you care about . Well, to me, whatever vaccine you can get first, you take. There is you dont think one is better than the other . You dont think one is better than the other . No. No. I mean, there are going to be three candidates. Astrazeneca oxford, moderna and pfizer. Each one of them have merits. Each one of them, 100 , have been able to block hospitalization and block people from getting very sick with the virus. And that is the goal of the vaccine. Each one of them achieved that. Depending on where you live and what is distributed and what class you fall into, there may be one, two or three being offered at that moment. I would take what you can get at that moment. I like all three of them, which is an amazing thing to say. Im glad to hear you say it. Once you get the vaccine, how long does it last . The answer to that is we just dont know. So it lasts at least six months. When we look at the antibody levels and tcell levels its going to be at least a year. At some point youll need probably a booster, whether that be a oneyear, twoyear, or three years, we dont know. But its going to give us protection in the short term which is what we care about. Thank you dr. David agus. As the pandemic worsens, Many Americans are also facing a desperate economic plight. But congress has been at a stalemate for months over a relief bill. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Key protections for millions are due to expire by the end of the month. Is there any progress at all . Well, there is now, anthony, this Bipartisan Group of senators, about 8 to 10 of them who are trying to revive negotiations and come up with some kind of stimulus deal before the holidays. But i have to tell you, its a very tall order. Theyd have to figure out a way to bridge the gap between the 500 billion package that Senate Republicans want and the 2 trillion that House Democrats have proposed. Now on capitol hill today, Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is going to testify that the pace of economic recovery since pandemic lockdowns has moderated. It has slowed. Thats why this is such a critical debate. And treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin is also going to testify. Hes going to urge congress to pass a bipartisan bill to distribute about 450 billion in unused funds from the march c. A. R. E. S. Act. Now a bill that size might include more funding for Business Loans and grants but it probably wouldnt include another round of stimulus checks or a boost in unemployment insurance. That is something that is very important to democrats. But on the senate floor yesterday, the republican leader Mitch Mcconnell urged democrats to take what they can get at this point. He argued essentially that half a loaf is better than no loaf at all. Tony . Nancy, thank you. Dr. Scott atlas, one of President Trumps coronavirus advisers, says he is resigning. Atlas, you may recall, dismissed the impact of the virus and also the need to wear masks. By the way, he has no training in infectious diseases. While members of President Trumps team are leaving, president elect joe biden plans to introduce top members of his Economic Team today. Former Federal Reserve chair janet yellen is his choice to become treasury secretary. As ed okeefe reports, shell lead a team with an unprecedented number of women. Reporter president elect joe biden will formally introduce his nominees today for key economic jobs, including janet yellen, first woman to be nominated for treasury secretary, and neera tanden, the first woman of color to be nominated to lead the office of management and budget. Tanden, head of the liberal center for American Progress think tank, is already drawing criticism from some republican lawmakers. Shes going to be radioactive. Reporter they argue shes been too critical of President Trump and gop lawmakers on twitter. Honestly, the hypocrisy is astounding. If republicans are concerned about criticism on twitter, their complaints are better directed at President Trump. Reporter tandens confirmation, along with the rest of mr. Bidens cabinet, will depend on whether or not republicans keep control of the senate after Georgias Senate runoff elections in january. As mr. Biden moves ahead with putting his cabinet together, President Trumps attempts to overturn the results of the election are blocked. Reporter wisconsin and arizona certified their results. We do elections well in arizona. The system is strong. Reporter thats Arizona Republican governor doug ducey who joins a growing list of republicans mr. Trump is lashing out against for not overturning their states legal results. On twitter, the president called on georgias republican Governor Brian Kemp to overrule georgias republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensberger who disputed mr. Trumps claims of voter fraud. There are those who are exploiting the emotions of Trump Supporters with fantastic claims, half truths, misinformation and, frankly, they are misleading the president as well, apparently. Reporter as the president continues lashing out at some republicans, there are other gop officials who still dont acknowledge that joe biden is the president elect. Some of them facing tough reelere reelections in two years. Others thinking about campaign 2024. As mr. Biden considers who might lead the pentagon, cbs news learned there are three ctop contenders. Michelle flournoy, former army fourstar general lloyd austin and former Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson. No word yet on when the president elect might make a pick. Were all waiting for that, ed. Can i ask you about the fighting with the republicans, how donald trump has turned on the people that were his allies. What do you make of that . You know all the players. People are saying his loyalty only seems to go one way. That would be one way to put it, absolutely. This is a president who was convinced hed win these states led by republican governors. That have republican lawmakers and other republican election officials. He saw that and figured those people would help him out and help him win. But he seems to forget its the American Voters who decide who wins elections. Lets always remind people. Its the voters who made this decision. Thank you, ed okeefe. The busiest atlantic Hurricane Season on record ended yesterday. But guess what . Just in time for the winter storms. In the midwest, the Winter Weather alerts are up across ohio this morning. Snow is already pounding the state and pounding is the word with up to 18 inches predicted in some areas. Errol barnett is in shaker heights, ohio, near cleveland. Look at you. I dont know if were ready for snow here in new york, but i guess we need to get ready. Whats it like . Ready or not, gayle, here it is. I see. The snow here, this has just been relentless all morning. You can see how much snow has fallen in the past 6 or 8 hours or so by the tables and chairs right next to me. And this would be a Winter Wonderland if it wasnt so dangerous. Out on the roads, driving is precarious, not just here in ohio but down as far south as kentucky and as far as georgia. Now here in the cleveland area, schools are closed for the day. And what does a school what does a snow day look like in the age of covid . Some schools are stopping food pickups so parents cant get food for their kids which is a real lifeline for so many people. The expectation is that 28 Million People will feel some piece of this massive winter storm system. Those who live south of lake erie, this whole thing pushes east. Now some encouraging signs weve seen around here are that there are some of the states 20,000 snow plows which we see clearing the roads. Unfortunately, we are seeing reports of some 20,000 people without electricity which could be deadly for the most vulnerable. This is already the most its expected to be the highest amount of snowfall in a single day in december in cleveland and some 15 years. The hope now is that we get on the other side of this system quickly. Anthony . Errol, thank you. Stay warm there. A husband and wife from South Carolina claim they are being held captive in the British Virgin islands. Glen and john hines they accidentally sailed too close to shore. The British Virgin islands prohibited u. S. Visitors during the pandemic. Meg oliver spoke to the couple now in a government mandated 14day quarantine. Reporter this is the hotel on the British Virgin islands where lynn and john hines have been forced to stay for almost two weeks. How uncomfortable is it living there . Extremely uncomfortable. Weve asked if they could spray for bugs and they just ignored our request. Reporter the couple says they, along with a friend and boat captain were detained after their ship accidentally veered into the territory. We immediately turned the vessel around, but before we got back to the waters, the British Virgin islands came up upon us and they said you need to drop your sails and you need to follow us. Reporter the British Virgin islands has banned u. S. Citizens because of the coronavirus. In a statement, the local government said the persons were charged with illegal entry without the permission of an immigration officer. But the couple says they have yet to hear that from customs or immigration officials. Nobody would tell us why we were here. And to this day, we still dont know. Did you know there was a travel advisory banning americans . We knew that the borders were closed, but i had no idea about territorial waters. Reporter Michael Winkleman is an expert in maritime law. Its really absurd because if you are at all familiar with this geography, its an invisible border. Its not like there are signs saying youre crossing over from one territory to the next. Reporter the couple is awaiting covid tests before they can have their day in court. We want out. We want to go home. We did nothing wrong. The captain has said he takes total responsibility and to hold us here hostage like this, were just a bargaining chip. We cant understand why they were doing this.

Another lifechanging technology from abbott, so you dont wait for life. You live it. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Researchers say most terrorist attacks in the u. S. This year were committed by White Supremacists and likeminded groups. The fbis most recent statistics on hate crimes released just last montsho 2019 was the deadliest year on record. But in a new twist, a cbs news investigation uncovered that organizations reviewed as hate groups are receiving financial benefits from the government. Jim axelrod has been looking into this. Jim, good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony. When the irs designates an organization to be a charity, some substantial benefits come with it. They dont have to pay federal taxes or in many cases property taxes. As for donors, Tax Deductions are deductible. That credibility is being enjoros you may find troubling. Its been three years since this deadly scene unfolded at the unite the right rally in charlottesville, virginia. I dont think i will ever not be scared. Reporter a day that still haunts lynn sains who narrowly escaped injury when a car plowed into a crowd of demonstrators killing one. I heard screams. I heard this awful sound. Reporter but the car almost hit you. Yes. I dont know how i got out of the way. Reporter she is the lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against the rallys organizers, some of whom belonged to groups designated as hate groups from the southern poverty law center. I think charlottesville is one of the clearest examples that this extremist violence were witnessing is organized, its planned, its organized hate crimes. Reporter cbs news investigation has found groups that took part in the unite the right rally are just a few of the 90 white supremacist antiimmigration, antimuslim, antilgbtq groups registered as Tax Exempt Charities with the irs. This includes the council of conservative citizens which inspired dylan roof to open fire on a Charleston Church in 2015. When we hear that term, we think, good. Reporter phil hack any is a former irs attorney overseeing the nonprofit sector. Is being granted tax exempt status, is that equivalent to some form of governmental endorsement . For all practical purposes it is a governmental endorsement. Theyre endorsing hate groups with dollars. Reporter during the last decade we discovered these 90 tax exempt groups have received more than 1 billion in tax deductible donations. How does that affect the average american taxpayer . When youre able to take a charitable contribution deduction for a certain activity, you are taking your tax dollars out of the common pot and putting it into your own private purpose, in this case one of hate. Reporter becoming a Charitable Organization isnt especially difficult. According to the irss own data, more than 100,000 applications were filed in 2019 by organizations seeking tax exempt status. Just 66 were rejected. Less than 1 10 of 1 of applications being denied tells us what . Tells us that that system is kind of i dont want to say a fraud, but its not would being. Reporter in fact, a Group Formerly called identity eyropa filed for Tax Exemption after the fatal rally and was approved. How much vetting does the irs do before granting Tax Exemption to any group . Today almost zero. Reporter after examining the pulse nightclub shooting, brandon wolf became an lgbtq advocate. He said that the tax code subsidizes hate. If the irs were able to begin to scratch the surface, they would see that theres a whole lot of things going wrong here. Reporter in the past the irs has revoked tax exempt status for things like practicing segregation or promoting acts of violence, but the irs cannot take away status solely on the basis of a groups viewpoint. Where are the lines . For me i think about it on the other end of the spectrum, which is what happens when these groups actually do incite violence . Whos checking on that . The answer today is no one. Reporter what happens at pulse makes this a deeply personal issue for you. Yes. When you choose to write hate a blank check in the United States of america instead of exercising oversight over it, you get communities torn apart. You get people grieving and mourning. This is the human cost to hat d hatred. Reporter liz sains says she hopes her lawsuit will hold them accountable for carrying out violence she believes was premeditated. In court papers Identity Evropa says they cant be held responsible for the driver. We reached out to the irs but they have yet to respond. Very interesting to hear what the irs has to say. 100,000 applications for tax exempt status and they only rejected 60 something of them . Somethings not right here. All right. Jim, thank you. Stunning numbers. Thank you very much. Eye opening report. Ahead we take you to china, one year after symptoms of the coronavirus were first detected there.

Beijing having declared victory in its war on covid has now opened new fronts trying to pin its origin on other countries including the u. S. , italy, and india. Although china was the first to report cases, it doesnt necessarily mean that the virus originated in china. This is the Wuhan Institute of virology believed by some to be the origin of covid19. Now we tried to get access to this institute for months but we were turned down. We also tried to interview many chinese doctors across the country. They all said they were either busy or were frankly barred from speaking with us. We did speak with dr. Lynn fa wong whos been researching coronaviruss origin. Whats the chance coronavirus did not originate in china . Origination is difficult. Reporter wuhan native talu is one of countless people still looking for answers. His father died from covid in february. The government sent condolences and about 600 as compensation. Translator it felt hollow, he said. I still dont know where the virus came from. If you ask me who to blame, i still dont know. Here we are in we han, outside the first hospital to receive coronavirus patients, dr. Wong says there are three major knowledge gaps we have to fill in in order to beat the virus. One is covids origin. Two is why some patients take so long to recover and three how long antibodies can protect us. In wuhan, china, for us, thank you very much. Hes been pioneering coverage.

This means brazil will miss its own target established under a 2009 Climate Change law. The consequences for missing that mark arent clear yet but it could leave them open to lawsuits. Youll recall last year myself and producer chris bender traveled to the amazon rain forest to see firsthand the devastation caused by deforestation. It acts as an air conditioner. Thats why deforestation is such an issue. Its not going in the right direction though. No. Catley right. The good news is, the Incoming Biden Administration is making Climate Change an imperative. We should hopefully see some change on that front. Some news about felicity huffman. She has landed a role in a new tv pilot.

New details on the vaccine and when it might come to your state. Charities like the Salvation Army face new challenges raising money this Holiday Season. Well show you how you can donate safely. And food for the soul. Chef david chang just won a Million Dollars for restaurant workers. Hell tell us what he thinks the industry really needs. He certainly knows. But first heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Major new details about the vaccine. The goal is for americans to start a vaccine regimen by the end of the year. There are going to be three candidat candidates. Each one of them 100 have been able to block hospitalization and block people getting sick with the virus. That is the goal of the vaccine. November was the deadliest month for the pandemic in the state of indiana, and now officials here are worried about the spike in cases due to people who traveled over thanksgiving. A Bipartisan Group of senators, about eight to ten of them, are trying to revive negotiations and come up with some kind of stimulus deal before the holidays. This has just been relentless. You can see how much snow has fallen in the past six or eight hours or so. This would be a Winter Wonderland if it wasnt so dangerous. Questions were pretty sure barack obama has never been asked. Dairy queen blizzard or frosties from wendys . Frosties in wendys. How does dolly parton not have a president ial medal of freedom . Thats a mistake. Im shocked. She deserved one. Ill call biden.

That may not be a joke for long. Shes going to get one. For sure shell get one. We begin this hour with a new rollout of information on the coronavirus vaccine. A million doses could reach americans by christmas. The first shot of Pfizer Vaccine could be ready for patients as soon as december 15th. Thats just two weeks from today. Modernas vaccine would be available by december 22nd. Both companies are waiting for emergency authorization from the fda. More than 96,000 people are currently hospitalized with the coronavirus nationwide. In the hardhit midwest, the state of ohio is reporting more than 5,000 current hospitalizations. That is a 200 increase just since november 1st. And only on cbs this morning, we are joined now by Ohio Governor mark dewine. Governor dewine, good morning to you. Good morning. Every state in america right now is finalizing a plan to receive and distribute the very first batch of coronavirus vaccines. What can you tell us about the plan in ohio, who is going to get it first, and how are you going to get it to them . First of all, this is just great news. We had a call yesterday with the vice president. Dr. Fauci described this as an extraordinary outcome, so were very, very happy. It cant come too soon enough. We have over 5,000 people in our hospitals now with covid, so its coming. And, you know, were excited about it. You know, the first responders, our first line nurses, first line doctors, those are individuals who clearly, clearly need to get it. Our people in our Nursing Homes who are the most vulnerable. I think in everybodys first tier, those are everybody in the first tier. Secretary azar yesterday told us that governors are air traffic controllers. In other words, youre going to be telling the federal government which hospital, which pharmacy to send the vaccine. Do you have those hospitals in mind, and do you have the resources there to actually receive the thing, keep it cold and give it to people . Yeah, we do. Weve already identified ten places in ohio, the hospitals were going to identify in the next several days for the federal government, all the places the shipments are to be made. For the smaller counties, we may actually break those out and our National Guard may be involved in getting those out as well. So were moving along, and were excited. You know, that december 15th date just cant come soon enough. Were very excited about it and very happy about it. Its absolutely exciting. Its also tricky and the stakes are high. At one point robert redford, the cdc chief, said that 6 billion would be needed by the states to facilitate this distribution, but only a couple billion had been put out there. Do you have all the money you need to pay the people you need to get these vaccines everywhere in the state . No, we do not, but well get it out one a or the other. We have the ability to do that. What we would like, of course, is a bill from congress. You carried a story this morning about negotiations continuing on, and im still hopeful that democrats and republicans and the president can all get together and get a bill passed, because we really need that. We need to be able to roll the money over, for example, thats already been sent out. We need the flexibility there. Our local governments need some money, our schools need money. I would very much like a bill. If you dont have the money to pay the people to distribute the vaccine, how are you going told it . Were going to do it. We have cares act dollars we can use, we also have were going to do whatever we have to do to get it done. But the bigger picture, i think, is that congress does need to pass another bill for many, many reasons, and im hopeful that will happen. Governor dewine, do you no one in ohio should think that if congress doesnt pass a bill were not going to get this out, though. I want to make that very clear. We will get it out and well start the shots just as soon as we get it. There is a lot of skepticism in some parts of the country about the vaccine, its safety, whether people would be willing to take it, thats a big object obstacle. Whats your plan in the state of ohio to get past skeptical observations that this is a good thing . I think the most important thing is what medical doctors say. One of the things weve tried to do is, throughout the pandemic, particularly in the last month or so, is to have front line nurses and doctors talking directly to the people of the state. I think theyre probably more believable than the governor and other politicians, so thats who is going to be talking to the people about this. Because, you know, as dr. Fauci pointed out yesterday, everything has been followed, the protocol. Its been quick, but theres no shortcuts that have been taken and that people will be able to feel confident that they can take this vaccine. I think that message, though, comes not from politicians, that message comes from doctors and medical experts who understand what went on in regard to the development of this vaccine. I think those facts are going to come out more in the next several weeks. I hope people hear them. Governor, i have to ask you about the impeachment articles filed officially against you yesterday for calcium disregard for businesses and people affected by the restrictions you passed in an effort to save lives. Whats your response to those articles . Well, look, its four members of the general assembly. They introduced a resolution before to have me impeached. I guess they have a right to go and file anything they want to, but, you know, were going to stay focused on what we have to do. As you pointed out, were being hit very, very hard but, governor, this is not a small issue. Its tied to vaccine acceptance, its tied to Wearing Masks, its tied to whatever the next stage is for you in terms of Public Health and prevention. These people think you dont care about them, and theyre accusing you of disregard. Whats your message to those politicians but also the people who follow them . Well, what i said yesterday in our press conference when i got that question was they should talk to the first line nurses. We had four nurses yesterday on a press conference. It was gutwrenching to listen to them when they describe how it is when someone is dying of covid, how it is when someone cannot be in contact with their family, and tremendous toll on these nurses, on the doctors, on the people on the front lines. So the people who want to criticize measures like Wearing Masks and basic things that we know absolutely work, they should go talk to those front line health people. Because i think when they listen to them, its pretty clear we have to do whatever we can to slow this virus down. You also called it foolishness, i will note. Its ridiculous. Thank you. Ahead famed chef david chang will talk with us about being on who wants to be a millionaire and how it will help restaurants in need. Well be watching that. Well be right back. R story.

Now traditionally, as you know, the Salvation Army collects donations at 25,000 red kettles. They expect a huge decrease in traffic. Jamie youkas shows us how theyre adapting. Reporter its the sound of the Holiday Season. Volunteer bell ringers have collected donations at the icon yik red kettles for decades, but this 130yearold tradition is facing an unprecedented challenge as the pandemic is facing many shoppers to stay home. Commissioner ken hotter is the commander. We expect a 50 drop. Reporter what does that mean in terms of dollars . Reporter last year they raised 126 million. So were looking at a decline of 60 million. Reporter at the same time, the organization which helps feed and house those in need is seeing an increase in demand. It serves more than 23 million americans each year and expects to help an additional 6. 5 Million People this Holiday Season. Its a perfect storm. Reporter to adapt, the kettles are going high tech giving the donors a contactless way to adopt it. And they are enlisting others. I didnt expect to have this moment with you and you are such an amazing man. Reporter brown was a social worker in los angeles for more than a decade often referring his clients to the Salvation Army. He also understands the pressure of struggling families during the holidays. Im a single father and even though i worked in social services, we dont make a lot of money. I remember times where i had to choose between a bill and giving my child a gift. I had to choose between, you know, putting gas in the car and, you know, buying some extra food for the house. Reporter what was that like for you as a dad to have to make those choices . It was heartbreaking. I felt isolated. I felt alone. Reporter now hes sharing stories about the Salvation Armys work with his nearly 3 million social media followers. He believes the pandemic has made americans more empathetic. Were seeing the shift of connection where people are like im not going to judge you for what you need, im going to support you. Reporter when you look at the map of how much more need there is this year versus what the deficit could be, do you think you can pull this of . I 100 believe we can pull this off. The reason is i believe in people. I believe that we all the core of us want to connect and want to help and want to love each other. Reporter its a new call to action with a familiar ring. For cbs this morning, jamie youkas, los angeles. For more on this giving tuesday and our eye on money, cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger has tips on how you can help plus make sure your money goes to the people you want to help. Good morning. Welcome. The donation rules have changed in this year of the pandemic. How exactly have they changed . Reporter there is a great provision, its tucked into the c. A. R. E. S. Act from the springtime which actually allows more taxpayers to do well, give money, but also get a tax benefit. It used to be before the pandemic you had to be an itemizer of deductions in order to get a tax benefit or giving. Now with this provision, any taxpayer can get up to 300 deduction from their taxes by giving to a qualified charity. So this is really good news. Of course, many people in need, we just heard that story, so more than ever 300 bucks is certainly within many peoples reach. Its usually for the tax its for a tax return total. So if you file jointly youll get 300 and be clear that that money is needed. Jill, the irs is warning that Covid Charity scams are on the rise right now. How do you protect yourself against those . Reporter the most prevalent and pernicious of these scams is a text message that appears to be coming from the irs itself. Its not, obviously, but what happens is you get a message and it says, hey, anthony, do you want to get that 1200 stimulus check, send us your bank information. Thats a big red flag, everyone. Just know the irs will never send an unsolicited text. They will not send an unsolicited email. They will not give you a call where you feel pressure to pay something. If you are worried and you have contact with an organization, get the employee identification number, run it through the irs. Gov search tool to make sure its a legitimate charity. How can you find out if your donation actually goes to the charity you intend, to its cause, i should say, and not somewhere else . Reporter there are a number of resources. The Better Business bureau has this wise giving alliance. Theres charity navigator, charity watch, give well, which you can see in these organizations is how much of the money goes to the cause. What does to the overhead. Good rule in thumb in general is to say about 75 should go to the cause rather than perhaps a big infrastructure. So check it out. You can also read comments about what other people think o charities. Jill schlesinger on this giving tuesday. Thanks, jill.

Youre welcome. I dont get that one. Youre welcome. I dont well, what can i say . All right. My talk of the table is the sequel to yesterday, if you recall, when we regarding david chang who we showed you how he picked up a Million Dollars to help struggling restaurant workers. Take a look. Im going to go, final answer, b, benjamin harrison, final answer. He grabbed his head. David chang, your metallic test tackles just one you 1 million. I love that. Changs the first celebrity to win the top prize on who wants to be a millionaire. The mope is going to Southern Smoke Foundation which provides crisis relief for people in the food and beverage industry. The cofounder Chris Shepherd was watching sunday night. Yes great, anthony. Reporter the foundations Emergency Relief Fund has given more than 4 million during the pandemic to more than 2,000 people and david chang joins us now. Good morning. I was really worried about you. There was so much pressure on you in that moment and i could see how much it meant to you to get this money for these people. It was incredibly stressful, but im so happy it worked out for everybody. How did you go for that, david . You had 500,000 if you had stopped then is that fold to 32,000 if you got it wrong. If you left it alone you had 500 thousand. If you missed you would go down to 32. How did you decide to go for it when you werent totally sure . I dont i have no explanation because watching it from my couch i was like, this person is crazy. I have no idea why i did whatever i did but im glad it happened. I think i made the calculation that im trusting me, number one. Two, if i got it wrong, it was still going to put a spotlight on southern smoke and the crisis that hospitality workers are facing. I was really trusting the intelligence and smarts. You reached out to her and she gave you you asked her for her input but i think what she said, it was probably harrison. So it wasnt like a sure thing. I was like, boy, youre relying on this a lot. But, david, talk to us about, i mean, where you think the Restaurant Industry is right now. Youre trying to help people. You were here with us at the beginning of this pandemic and extremely distressed about the way things were headed. Yeah. I mean, things have gotten that much better effectively with winter here. Outdoor dining is shut down for a lot of places and even if the weather is life, im in los angeles and Outdoor Dining is shut down for at least three weeks or so. Thats going to be incredibly difficult for restaurants to get to the new year. The goal is just to get to spring. So its a matter of survival. As crazy as it sounds, the most important thing that we can do to save restaurants besides supporting them directly is to probably and possibly support the election in georgia and flip the senate seats to maybe get congress to give us the stimulus and to support the restaurant workers and hourly workers and everyone that needs help. So, david, why did he say you have metallic testacles . Im curious. Is it something you can share on morning tv . I cant. You cant. Okay. No, i mean, listen, i have no idea. I i i i. I heard a funny story about you, david chang. You know people but you forgot to get thanksgiving turkey. How could that possibly be and youre a chef. How could that be . Hang your head. You have to ask my wife. Its the one thing she requested and i got i wouldnt say lazy, i wanted to make an alternative. I was a little late and ill make it up to her next year. Tell us what southern smoked does. I thought it was great you chose that charity. How will it help the workers . Anthony touched on it a bit. I think its great what you have done and i loved the founders reaction when he saw you had chosen them. Well, chris is a great chef and someone that is constantly trying to take care of his own, the own being the hospitality industry. It is one of the hardest hit sectors from the pandemic. Everyone hes helped in this business and southern smoked has always been there for whatever crisis that has arisen over the past few years to provide Financial Assistance to people in need and they need that more than ever. At least now people will know about it. And im he curious sitting on the show, does it feel different . Because you missed a what was it, the kids clean plate club. Yeah, i actually didnt know that answer. What was the question, david . What was the question . What was the question . It was Something Like what is it called what club do kids put themselves in if they eat all their food. Watching from home, of course i know that answer, but when youre sitting in the seat staring at jimmy kimmel and the lights are on you and the music. The music is what gets your adrenaline really pumping. You sort of lose all train of thought. Jimmy made a point of underlining the thought that no celebrity had ever won the big prize. I think he said it twice. Well, yeah, i think jimmy knows that i like to gamble and he knew that he could sort of poke and prod me to going for the final question for sure. Well congratulations. Good job. Really great. David chang. So happy to see it and that money is sorely needed. What are you going to do with the big old check . Is that behind you . You cant take it to the bank. No, i cant take it to the bank. I think im going to put it on my wall when i get to it. Its a cool thing. Ive been staring at it for a few months. Its crazy. The new netflix movie hillbilly elegy tells the story of j. D. Vance. Well talk with vance and whos going to take care of this family when im gone . I thought your mama was going to be all right. Be happy. Do good. But she got tore up around here. She just up and quit. She just stopped trying. I know i could have done better. But you, you got to decide you want to be somebody or not . Oh, boy. Thats powerful stuff from glenn closes mama w from hihillbill eleg elegy. Its about growing up in appalachia. Vance is an executive producer on the film version which is directed by the legendary, there he is, ron howard. One of the good guys in hollywood. In the movie, as in life, vances family grapples with Financial Hardship and addiction. J. D. Vance and ron howard join us this morning. Good to see you both, guys. We were so excited to talk to you today. Welcome. Welcome. Thank you. Good to see you, if only this way. I cant wait until we can be in the same room, ronnie, i cant. J. D. , i read the book back in the day. I looked at the movie again. Ron howard, i look at everything that you do. I want to start with you about this particular movie because you said you were drawn to it because its a family story and you relate to it. I think when i heard ron howard relates to this story, how, but it is a very universal story for a lot of people. Start us off with that. Well, my roots go back to small town and agricultural rural oklahoma. Cheryls family, louisiana and agricultural wisconsin, so, you know, ive been looking for a while for a story that, you know, set in that environment in a contemporary way. When brian grazer my partner was the first to read hillbilly elegy and he met j. D. As well and we began talking about it. And when i read it and spoke to j. D. , i felt that there was a really interesting contemporary story here, truthful family drama. I was drawn to that. I also felt it was an interesting sort of Emotional Rescue and survival story that really celebrated the women in his life, especially the matriarch played by glenn, mama w. I called my greatgrandmother mama w. It wasnt just me, thats what everyone called her. I thought that was her specific nickname. I didnt know until i read j. D. s book that it was sort of a regional, cultural thing. Mamaw, lack of knowledge doesnt come from lack of intelligence. Never speak at a reasonable volume when screaming will do. That if a fight gets a little too intense, its okay to slap and punch as long as a man doesnt hit first and its okay to be insulting and hurtful to your partner if all else fails, take the kids and the dogs to a local hotel. You opened up a whole different world for people, and i thought it was interesting how it resonated in 2016. Do you feel that it still resonates today . Well, i think certainly the response to the movie and so many of the emails and messages that ive gotten since the movie came out suggests it still resonates. I think a lot of people attached a political significance. These problems of family struggle, addiction and resilience are timeless. We have an addiction problem like in 2016. For a lot of the audience it resonates. Ron, the cast you got. Glenn close, we had her here, was unrecognizable. I wonder what it seems like for somebody playing you. Both the actors were great. What is it like for you to see them. The cast you put together with amy adams and glenn. What was it like, j. D. . So weird to see yourself on screen. I think you ought to see the weirdest thing for us was to see glenn dressed up as mamaw for those who see the end credits, she did look a lot like mamaw. It was the powerful experience when we saw her for the first time. Mamaw has been dead ten years. It was a weird way in which she was brought back to life. It was bizarre, fun, tried to roll with it and have a little bit of fun with it. Its an experience id recommend for those of you. I liked it. Tony dokoupil. I want to edge into something a little bit uncomfortable and thats some critics have slashed and bhurnd m movie. This is not one. Some are coming out with hatchets for the movie. Ron to you and j. D. , whats going on here . Well, you know, look, its always hard to say. Critics have a job, which is to see something, run it through their lens and write and talk about it. So i cant argue with it. I do feel like theyre looking at, you know, political fanatics that they may or may not agree with that honestly arent really reflected, not front and center in this story. What i saw was the family drama that could be very relatable. Yes, culturally specific. If youre f what . Oh, that this is the largest differential ive ever had. Its 8 55.
