The president s National Security adviser general Michael Flynn suddenly resigns late last night. This follows conversations with russian officials. General flynn admit head didnt tell Vice President mike pence and other officials everything about those discussions. He is the shortest national serving National Security adviser in modern history. Screaming kellogg will take over the job for now. Margaret brennan is at the white house with the fallout from flynns latenight departure. Margaret good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, Michael Flynn has resigned ending that generals more than 33 years in public service. Questions continue to swirl about the extent of his potentially illegal contacts with russia. Whether the president knew about them. And if they impacted u. S. Securit security. Reporter after just 22 days on the job, general Michael Flynn stepped down from his post. In his resignation letter, flynn blamed the fast pace of events for causing him to inadvertently leave out information. And yet evidence surfaced monday that the Justice Department had warned the white house last month that flynn had deceived him about his contacts with russia. However, flynn was allowed to continue advising President Trump on sensitive National Security matters. As of today, we are officially putting iran on notice. Reporter early monday, the white house was sending mixed signals about whether his job was in jeopardy. Counsel counselor Kellyanne Conway. Yes. Reporter and then a statement, quote, the president is evaluating the situation. But it was Vice President pences anger over flynns deception that caused mr. Trump to discuss his role. The president will now have to find a new National Security adviser in the face of global risks. Including provocative actions by north korea and iran. Retired Lieutenant General Joseph Keith Kellogg, a National Security adviser to the trump campaign, will temporarily take over flynns position. Hes also a candidate to permanently fill the job along with retired admiral robert harward. And David Petraeus who will visit the white house later this week. Less than two hours before the highprofile shakeup, mr. Trump praised his staffing choices during the swearing in of his treasury secretary. The disappointment that im following through on the appointing on the very best and very brightest. Reporter this morning russian Lawmakers Said flynns resignation was intended to undermine relations with the u. S. But, gayle, the kremlin itself has declined to comment. Is there thank you very much, margaret. Cbs news news Fran Townsend is a former adviser to george w. Bush. He joins us. Good morning. 4 00 in the afternoon, Kellyanne Conway said he has the full support of the president. By the end of the day, hes out. What does this is a to you . What do you think happened behind the scenes . Sometimes, the white house just cant win. Go get notified by the Justice Department, according to the washington post, about this information. And if acted then they might have been accused of obstructing an Ongoing Investigation. If you youre in the white house and you get this sort of notification, its a nowin situation. I dont think you know, you have the canadian Prime Minister yesterday. You have Bibi Netanyahu there tomorrow. With all of this in the press now, it becomes a huge distraction. And its unfair to the president , frankly. And i dont think they have much of a choice. But, granted, you mentioned the white house was warned about this weeks ago by the fbi. Yeah. And the specific concern that was relayed was that flynn could be open to blackmail on this very issue. Whats the significant of that . Oh, look, this is a huge this is of huge significance. But as i say, the fact is that the Justice Department and the fbi clearly notified the white house to let them know is this an Ongoing Investigation and he may have deceived them. I will tell you, its hard to imagine that mike flynn would have intentionally deceived them. This is a man, as you said, 30 years in the military. Most of it in the intelligence committee. He would have known there are transcripts of it. You have to assume he didnt remember the details of the conversation. Even allowing for that, assuming the best, you know, if youre the Vice President and the president , you cannot have somebody working for you, advising you that you dont you have to question their trust and credibility. Theres no room for that. And, fran, democratic congressmen are now called for a classified briefing on what happened here. From your perspective, what do you want to know at this point . Oh, i have to assume that members on the hill want to read that transcript for themselves. Were reading a lot into it because were getting reports second and third hand. But if youre on capitol hill and youre in an oversight role, you want to see the transcript. You want the fbi actually conducting the investigation up there briefing you. Fran, we also want to talk about the escalating situation in north korea. Last night, the u. N. Security Council Unanimously condemned north koreas latest ballistic michl test. It called sundays test a grave violation of international law. China signed on to that statement. The country is one of north koreas only allies. Adriana diaz is in beijing following chinas reaction. Good morning. Reporter good morning, north korea said sundays launch was for selfdefense. It comes after months of quiet and at a particularly sensitive time for beijing. Just as relations for the Trump Administration were starting to fall. So this launch adds a new layer of uncertainty for the region, thats still trying to get a read on the new and up predictable u. S. President. The missile tested sunday was a new type. Using fuels not liquid to eject from the mobile launcher. Its more stable and allows for less advanced warning. Analysts say the achievement say dangerous step forward in north koreas. Pursuit in a deliverable weapon. And its a first test for President Trump. Obviously, north korea is a big, big problem and we will deal with that very strongly. Reporter and it also potentially pits the new administration against china, north koreas only major ally. Less than a week that mr. Trump smoothed things over in a phone call with chinese president jinping. At the center for possibly policy china wants to encourage north korea to liberalize its economy, to open up to the international community. Reporter 90 of north koreas trade is with china. Leading western officials to accuse beijing of propping up the neighboring dictatorship. But china says its doing its part by signing on to sanctions. China has implemented the resolution. China fears any future action could destabilize the all right shaky regime and turn north korea into its enemy. Now, the western country wants china to take the consequences of protecting north korea. Reporter china doesnt want to be caught in the middle . Yes. Reporter the u. S. And south korea will hold their annual largescale military operations in march. Just this morning, north korea said those operations could seriously undermine peace and security in the region. They could also close the door to any direct engagement between north korea and the u. S. And push north korea to test even larger and more powerful missiles. Anthony. Adriana diaz, thank you. I want to bring Fran Townsend back in. What are the options for the Trump Administration to respond to this . Well, you know, the u. S. Has been frustrated over the course of now a decade with north korea. The Bush Administration tried. The Obama Administration tried. There will be meaningless statements of condemnation out of the u. N. As we saw yesterday. That doesnt do much. Thats more of the same that hasnt been effective. If this must be an engage meant that has the largest agenda than just north korea with china. Weve got to get china to focus on using theyre the oxygen that allows north korea to continue to operate. And we have to get them to use that leverage, to apply real pressure on the North Koreans to dial back. Its not an easy problem. Because the Trump Administration doesnt have direct leverage itself. All right, Fran Townsend, thank you so much. Thank you. The Senate Confirmed two more of President Trumps cabinet nominations. Steven mnuchin was sworn in. Only one democrat joe manchin votes for the financier. Mnuchin is expected to play a key role in the coming weeks. The department of Veterans Affairs shulkin was the top official during the Obama Administration. Nearly 200,000 people evacuated from their homes in Northern California are still unable to go home.

Reporter good morning as water continues to rush down the Feather River here. Still no word on whether the 180,000 people will be able to return to their homes. Meanwhile, the agency that issued the license to build the dam now wants some answers about how these problems started and how they can be fixed. As billions of gallons of water rush out of lake oroville, officials here in california are rushing to fix the dams two spillways. Both the main one and the emergency backup. So far, its holding and thats why the evacuation is still in place because theres uncertainty. And the norm is better be safe than sorry. Reporter Governor Brown says hes unaware of any newly surfaced report from 2005. A motion filed with the federal emergency relate tore Commission Warning that if the emergency spillway was used it would cause significant erosion. On monday, the agency ordered the department of Water Resources to convene an independent panel to determine the caution of the spillway failures. It was chaos. Everything was rushing out. Reporter those evacuated say they want answers, too. Im no engineer, i dont ever want to be but i dont think it was handled right at all. Reporter meanwhile, officials are taking measures to shore up the emergency spillway. Crews are lifting bags of stone while theyre letting out water faster than coming in. Its a race for later this week. When will you let people back . I would anticipate that well be able to make a decision in the relatively near future. But the bottom line is i want to make sure that the decision i make keeps people safe. Reporter the sheriff told me that, of course, he has the final say on deciding when people will be allowed to return to their homes. Of course, he says, hes working with the many experts who are working to keep the dam safe. Gayle. John, thank you.

Coming up in this half hour, there are serious questions about a scene at maralago the other day showing President Trump and the japanese Prime Minister after north koreas missile test. The white house insists the bri president was briefed in a private location. Plus, Hunters Chase after whales in the antarctic. Not to capture them but to save them. What researchers are seeing in the killer whale population and the yu neunique way to track th. And the headlines. The New York Times reports on the troops to bolster force. Troops are arriving in romania. Tensions have been high since russians seized crimea from ukraine in 2014. Usa today says the nations dams are posing a risk highlighted by the spillway at oroville. 20 of dams are considered high hazard. And that means at least one person could die if the dam were to fail. Nearly 1 in 5 lack emergency plans. Most dams were completed between 1950 and 1980. And the average age of 84,000 dams is 52. And the wall street journal says a lawsuit is likely between the 100 million loll suit with lance armstrong. The judge contends armstrong committed fraud while doping. The Los Angeles Times says seven disney workers suffered smoke inhalation when a fire erupted in a parking garage. It caused nearly 80,000 in damage. No visitors were hurt. Investigators are looking for the cause but foul play is not expected. Newsweek reports on a former and current tsa workers indicted on smuggling cocaine over the last 18 years. The suitcases were filled and had gone through security at the airport at san wajuan, puerto rico. The picture shows an army officer carrying the socalled Nuclear Football. Now, thats the briefcase that carries material needed to launch nuclear wells. He also posed for a picture. Defense officials declined to discuss the photo on the record. But it has raised questions among other former National Security advisers who say its inappropriate. Well, when you read the last line of the tweet, it says rick is the man. Who said rick is the man . The one who posted hes identifying rick is the man carrying the football. Its a little unsettling that anybody can walk up to the guy with the football and take a picture. Its a little disturbing. The man who posted that photo put other images from maralago on the internet. They show President Trump with Prime Minister shinzo abe authoritily after north korea tested the missile. Jeff pegues looks at why those photos are posing so many questions today. Jeff, good morning. Good morning, at issue is whether the president was discovering sensitive National Security information in that setting. Faced with a barrage of questions on this, the white house is denying that President Trump and his National Security team did anything that posed as a security risk. United states of america stands behind japan reporter late saturday night, President Donald Trump and japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe addressed the latest north Korean Missile test. Images were posted on social media, showing the World Leaders just moments before that statement, having dinner in a public dining room. In one photograph, you can see President Trump on a cell phone. Another shows mr. Trump and the japanese Prime Minister reading information by camera light. The president s chief strategist steve bannon and former National Security adviser mike flynn can be seen hovering just above him. Maralago club member Richard Deagazio posted some of his pictures on facebook writing holymoley and wow, center of the action. Making National Security decisions in plain view. In a statement, the white house says thats not what happened insisting that the president was briefed on the north korea situation in a classified setting both before and after the dinner. But democrats on capitol hill, including Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer called what they saw in the photographs a security risk. He never should have had such a sensitive discussion in such a public place. Reporter House Minority leader nancy pelosi posted this message on twitter. Theres no excuse for letting an International Crisis play out in front of a bunch of Country Club Members like different theater. Even if the information being discussed was not technical classified information, these types of conversations are still sensitive. Reporter Carrie Cordero is a former National Security lawyer for the department of justice. He believes the department of justice can learn a lot from these photograph. If Foreign Services are paying attention and im sure they are, they are paying attention to all of the individuals who potentially have access. All the types of devices that are there. And they are going to think about how they can exploit that in the future. Reporter in the past, even when they travel, president s have used mobile secured Communications Facilities to discuss sensitive matters. Just last year, then president obama was photographed inside a trailer in havana with his National Security adviser susan rice. Former president george w. Bush even had a specialized trailer set up at this ranch in crawford, texas. Norah. I can remember traveling with the secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld after 9 11 and there would be containers inside a plane so he could conduct secured meetings within those. Even though there was nobody on there except for a couple of reporters. Its unsettles that we know what the guy who carried the nuclear code looks like. Thats unsettling. And that his name is rick. Yeah. Its troubling to me. Yeah. All right. Scientists can learn a lot about killer whales from their breath.

Mark phillips continues this climate diaries sears from antarctica. This morning, he following a group of researchers chasing killer whales theyre favoring new Technology Including drones. Mark phillips shows us how ocean dwellers facing the effect of cliements change. Reporter good morning, welcome to palmer station. One of the Biggest Research stations in ants artic icctit antarctica. Not all of the answers theyre getting are happy ones its the National Geographic explorer is a different kind of adventure cruise ship. Shes on a whale hunts. Cutting through the packed ice near the antarctic circle the good ship explorer is not here for sightseeing, throw theres plenty to see. Although nobody shouts thar she blows this time in open waters people do jump into small boats to chase them just like in the old days. This hunt, though, isnt about killing whales, its about saving them. Its about giving them a health check. And the prognosis isnt particularly good. One of the reasons we study stop predators and killer whales are top predators. Reporter theyre modern hunters who use the latest tools. They use a drone fitted with equipment to monitor the whales condition. With a small drone, we can fly it just a little over 100 feet. The whales dont know its there. And fly a camera much lower. The quality of the images are so much better. Reporter better pictures but it turns out not better whales. The images of this pod of killer whales are not encouraging. Particularly for the adult female, the mother of the family. Shes very, very stunned. You can see this following her. Her whole body profile. Shes lost all of the fat along her entire body. Reporter shes dieing . Yes. And she has a depentent off spring. Reporter its not just the size of the whales that john and holly are looking at, you wouldnt think you can sake a sample of the whales out here in the ocean, but you can. The team has developed a technique, here theyre using it in the pacific to actually breathlize whales. You can tell by going through the whale breath, the ex hhalatn of the whales youre picking up the whales . Uhhuh. The droplets here, from that, we take them back to the lab and use genetic techniques to identify the micro organisms here. Reporter its early in the program and john and holly are just building up a database of what comes out of the whales blow hole. But if the whale is unwell, the theory is youd effectively be able to smell it on their breath. In the meantime, they can only take an educated guess on why their finding sick whales here in these Pristine Waters which like edge else are getting warmer. The packed ice around which the whales normally hunt is not as abundant as it used to be. Neither is the food that they hunt for. Hypothesis is theres hunting for food. Reporter fewer seals . Its certainly a hypothesis. Reporter the next time john and holly are down here, theyll be looking for these whales hoping theyre still around. Now because its so difficult to work in much of the year, Wildlife Research is left to develop in an arctic. Everybody knows about the polar bears its time to learn about the killer whales. Mark phillips at palmer station in antarctica. Without the photographer, kenton young, talking about you. Its fascinating that they can bring in a drone to collect the blood. Thats incredible.

Good morning. It is tuesday, february 14th, 2017. Happy valentines day. Welcome back to cbs this morning. There is some more real news ahead, including north Koreas Nuclear and missile programs. The New York Times saying they have a new article on the threat to the u. S. Details of how north korea has advanced its missile testing. But first, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Michael flynn has resigned. Questions continue about the extent of his potentially el legal contact with russia. White house was warned about this and the concern that was relayed was that flynn could be open to blackmail. The if youre the v. P. And the president you cannot have somebody working for you you have to question their trust and credibility. North korea says suns launch was for selfdefense. It comes at a particularly sensitive time for beijing. Just as relations with the Trump Administration were starting to fall. That issue is whether the president was discussing sensitive National Security information that in that public setting. Agency that issued the license to build the dam want answers about how these problems started and how they can be fixed. One former teammate told me, hey, this is just another game on our way to the ncaa tournament. But for fans this was a game they will never forget. Adele had a great night at the grammys. She won five grammys while beyonce only won two. Yeah. Ooh. And if werent announced adele announced shes preg navnts with triplets. [ applause ] im norah odonnell, gayle king and Anthony Mason. Charlie is off. Michael flynn resigned overnight, his departure after about three weeks make him the shortest serving National Security adviser in history. Another retired general Joseph Keith Kellogg will replace him temporarily. Kellogg was an adviser to the trump campaign. Evidence came out yesterday that the Justice Department had warned the white house last month that flynn had indeed mislead the nation about his contacts with russia. In a phone call with russias ambassador to the u. S. Before the inauguration. He and the ambassador by his claim did not discuss. He wrote, i tourname inadvertently briefed the Vice President elect with others. Kellyanne conway was asked earlier in the day. General flynn enjoys the confidence of the president. It was a big week for flynn. A little over an hour after the white house defended flynn, sean spicer says in a statement, the president is evaluating the situation and several hours after that, the president accepted flynns resignation. The New York Times reports because flynn cannot told everything about his conversations with the russian ambassador, quote, its Justice Department feared that mr. Flynn could be vulnerable to blackmail by moscow and that this had been communicated to the white house last time. David singer is now a the New York Times National Security correspondent, and he joins us now. Good morning, david. Good morning. Given that the Justice Department had warned the white house about this late last month, how long was the white house planning to keep a Security Threat with the head of the nsc. Thats a great point because these issues had been swirling around general flynn for at least a month. And remember, what started all of this is the impositions of sanctions by President Trump from president obama in return for interference in the election. The question here is if President Trump knew about this, and knew of the Justice Department concerns which appears to have come from sally yates, the Deputy Attorney general who he fired not long ago for her unwillingness to enforce the immigration restrictions, was he planning to just ignore this piece of evidence until it became public. And he couldnt any longer. Is david, is your reporting that general flynn was acting on his own when he discussed the sanctions with the russians . Or was 2 an authorized discussion which suggested either the chief of staff or the president knew about it as well . Well, theres nothing unusual in talking to foreign diplomats during a transition. Almost every president ial transition does that. And general flynn made that point in his resignation letter. The problem would come if he actually made a promise, in this case, that the sanctions would be lifted. Or taken care of once President Trump came into office. And its not clear that he did that. And in fact, were had some people tell us that the actual contents of this transcript, because apparently, the conversation was being wiretapped by the nsa or the fbi. Probably the fbi. Were is ambiguous. You raise a very good question, what were general flynns instructions . Yeah. And he said himself in a tweet this morning, that while he was responsible, there are these those responsible, too. That tweet has not been verified. Okay. Im glad to hear that point. Rime glad you corrected me on that. We dont know yet. I think youve raised the right question which is was he acting obstruction. He was acting alone i think is the question. David, youve written this week about the ongoing turmoil on the president s National Security council. Where does this leave the National Security council now . Well, the council is in considerable disarray right now. And the disarray comes from the fact not only that general flynn was under this cloud. But also from the fact that they had not filled out many of the key positions, that it was unclear who was responsible for what. You had a lot of anxiety from the career staff who had stayed around and was not was not yet feeling as if they were involved in the conversations. And weve had some decisions made, unmentioned one earlier, concern north korea. But there were others, particularly, that raid in yemen, which we discussed a few weeks ago. Where it wasnt clear that there was sort of clear pathways to making decisions, in sort of a regular order, with the right kind of advice and legal counsel. This morning, david, a senior russian official is suggesting that the decision of mr. Flynn to resign or be fired, whichever you choose to believe was meant to damage the relations between u. S. And russians. I even heard the phrase russiaphobia. Does that make sense to you . You know, compared to what weve learned in the past few months, gayle, about what the russians did during the course of the election. The disinformation campaign. The russian intelligence agncies stepping in to steal emails and make them public. It strikes me that this would be a pretty small contributor to overall relationships. Just quickly, david, you write about north korea in the New York Times today about why this missile test is significant in part because these tested missiles provide little advance warning if we, the u. S. , wanted to take a preemptive strike, correct . Thats right. These missiles use solid fuel. And that means they can be rolled out and launched really in a matter of minutes. The Old Technology was liquid and youd have a lot of warning because satellites would probably see a missile being launched on a launchpad. Youd have time to react. Take a counterstrike. Prepare your antimissile defenses. So while its not a missile that could reach the u. S. , its worrisome. David sanger, we leave it there. Thank you for joining us this morning.

Com experts Appointments Available now. In our morning rounds new recommendations for the treatment of low back pain. A quarter of americans have had back pain at least once in the past three months. A new review finds the best therapy may not, may not, include a pill. The American College of physicians is now telling doctors Prescription Medication should be considered a last resort in most cases. Our dr. Tara narula joins us at the table to discuss it, before we get into what should be the best thing to do. Back pain i hear is the worst thing you could have because it affects everything you do. It does. And thats what i want to focus on. The back is the structural foundation. When your back has a problem, it affects every single activity you do. It can be crippling for people and cause distress not just physically but mentally. When you see someone with back pain, you talk to them, you hear it in their voice. It costs the country 100 billion a year to treat back pain. And twothirds of that is from lost wages and productivity. From the past, a lot of treatment has been focused on drugs. Expensive drugs, harmful drugs and what this is doing is taking drugs out of the picture and aing what was alternative therapy must be mainstream. What do the back therapy do . For subacute and acute, recommendation is nondrug. That means things like heat, massage, acupuncture, final manipulation. If those fail, the second sign try is nsaids or back pain lasting more than 12 weeks, again things like exercise, physical therapy. Mindfulness, tai chi, joyoga. And if that fails, medications like tramadol. And if that doesnt work at all, what are the suggestions . Tylenol. That was recommendsed in the guidelines in 2007 and we found it doesnt work as effect tifrl in back pain. Also things less effective, steroids. Electrical stillation and ultrasounds. And opioids a last resort . Opioids, last resort. If Everything Else fails make sure the benefits outweigh the risks. Make sure you have a realistic discussion with your doctor.

If youre looking for a lastminute valentines day gift, a special treat with vanilla might be just what you need. I love vanilla. But vanilla bean prices have soared because of a shortage in madagascar. The Island Country has more than three quarters of the worlds vanilla fields. Ben tracy is at a candy store in hollywood to show us how the treats we love are becoming a lot more expensive. Ben, good morning. Reporter good morning, when it comes to vanilla, nobody wants arts official flavor, they want the real thing. At this candies store in hollywood, all the chocolate bars use veal vanilla, even nestle has switch to the real thing in their crunch bar. And now theres a shortage. And that has become a bitter pill to swallow. You sell a lot of Vanilla Ice Cream . Its our number one seller. Reporter in california, vanilla ice scream is surrounded by brownies and in root beer. Its appeal is pretty simple. Because i like it. Reporter owner Karen Clemons says its all about the ingredie ingredients. And how important is that Madagascar Vanilla . My Vanilla Ice Cream would not be the same without it. Reporter yet these days shes losing money on every scoop. Vanilla has outpassed dairy as her biggest cost. Do you think that people know when theyre ordering this that this is the delicacy of the ice cream shop . No, they have absolutely no idea. Reporter the price she pays for a gallon of organic vanilla extract has quadrupled from four years ago. When something goes to 100 what does that mean to your bottom line . I just hope were going to make it to the end of the season. Reporter 79 of the vanilla fields are in madagascar. The shortage there has driven up the cost from 11 a pound in 2011 to nearly 200 bucks by the end of 2016. At this price point, is the vanilla industry sustainable . No we manufacture over 200 types of vanilla. Reporter josephine rockhead and her husband don run the vanilla company. She shot this video in december during a trip to madagascar to survey the vanilla crops. Its a laborintensive process. Beans grow on orchids each one is pollinated by hand. Vanilla is not a product you can get out tomorrow. It takes three years for the bean to grow. Reporter vanilla prices spiked in 2003 before crashing the next year. Shipments of vanilla once again cost a small fortune. Probably 100,000 in vanilla. Reporter this is worth 100,000. Yeah, 100,000. Reporter and a couple years ago it would have been worth probably 1,000. Reporter thats for highquality beans which get harder to find as the price goes up. Many farmers harvest the beans before they fully mature worried thieves will steal them because theyre so valuable. The businesses whether they buy them at high prices or the inevitable crash. Its going to come down and nobody knows, thats the big question mark. Nobody knows when or how quickly. Reporter Karen Clemons is having to raise prices in her store, while she didnt put it in her ice cream, she did put artificial in her waffle cones. It kind of broke my hard. The good news is the vanilla crop in madagascar appears to be in good shape this year and that should eventually increase the supply. Speaking of supply, the folks here at this candy store made custom chocolate bars for us. They gave us a couple. I think we can part with one and send it out to you guys. One candy bar for the three of of us to share. Thanks, ben. Happy valentines day vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron. It comes from orchids. No artificial vanilla.

Lets talk about your head line making news at grammys. You asked everybody to look up the case of gavin grimm. In virginia. Gavin grimm is going to the Supreme Court march 27th, he had to sue his town to use the bathroom like over boys. Gavin is transgender. You can imagine being 17 years old having to go to the Supreme Court to fight for the same rights as everybody else. Did you tell anybody you were going to do that . I did not. I didnt want anyone to say i couldnt do it. No one knew, none of my people knew that i was going to shout out gavin. I did it because i was partly frustrated about it. This is the first time that the Supreme Court is hearing a case about transrights. All of a sudden, over 50 bills. What people should know about the bathroom bills that criminalize me going to the womens room, these bills are not about bathrooms. Theyre about whether trans people have the right to go to public space. We cant go to school, we cant work, we cant go to health care facilities. This is about public about indications. Public accommodations are key to civil life. Gavin had to go do a special gender neutral bathroom, a nurses bathroom way out of the way. And he said this was crazy can i go to the boys bathroom like everybody else. He went without incident. I googled after you did. Thank you. I had never heard the story. He didnt know you were doing it either. Imagine hes watching and he sees, you made someone very happy. Can we talk about you in doubt. Absolutely. Whats fascinating about this character, normally, whens theres a transgender character, theres a big reveal. This cameron is out front and dating. How does that feel, is that nervous for you doing love scenes . I was excited because i wanted to see a love scene because a straight white man and a transwoman i wanted to see that story because thats what im living. I was nervous about the love scenes because its a guy im not dating in real life. Hes an actor. He plays my love. Hes amazing. But i dont know im thinking has he kissed a transwoman before . Did you ask him . I didnt ask him. I asked him what hes comfortable with. A spoiler, one of the scripts said its the hottest. We have to make it hot. I think i can make it hot. You have will have to watch doubt. Youre playing a yaleeducated attorney. I actually know a lot of trans folks in their life who are attorneys. And with the case of gavin going to the Supreme Court, actually, what happens in the courtroom can make law, can influence public policy. The adversarial nature of the courtroom has inherent drama. Id love to think im a smarty pants and lover to get to showcase that on national television. And people can see that trans folks are, you know, we have to tell our stories in different ways so people get to see us. What does it mean to you to be playing the first leading role for a trans character on nets work tv . It makes me really excited about the next person who gets to do it. Yeah. Because i wouldnt be here if it werent for people who came before me and made me believe this is possible. If it wasnt for years ago, on another network, i wouldnt have thought this was possible. But you opened the door. The other thing i like about you, number one, you looked hot, hot, hot at the grammys. You had such a fan girl moment about beyonce. Did you get a chance to meet her . I met beyonce i met the queen. I met the queen. What did you say . What did you say . I said, i love you so much. First of all, she stood up for me, shes pregnant. Beyonce stood up for me. She said i love you. I said, i love you, too. She said i was beautiful. I just thank for her whole career. She knows who i am. And she sent you flowers . She sent me flowers. Bravo, laverne.
