Were going to begin with the urgent new efforts to fight the pandemic which dr. Deborah birx is calling the worst event in american history. Think about that for a second. Californias mostly back in lockdown mode this morning with an order affecting 30 Million People there. Its the first state to lock down again. Hospitalizations in that state have tripled in the last month. California recorded more than 30,000 new cases in a single day yesterday. That is the highest single day total in any state so far. Many other states are seeing a troubling spike. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in reno, nevada. Good morning to you. Whats the situation there . Well, tony, nevada now leads the nation when it comes to the number of people who are hospitalized with covid on a per capita basis. Here at renowned Regional Medical center, look what theyve had to resort to. They are putting patients in their parking garage. This is a covid ward. Were nowhere near the patients, but they set this up back in april hoping to never have to use it but they started running out of space at the main hospital. So this is what it has come to. When pictures of the parking garage first surfaced a couple of weeks ago, some people suggested it was fake. We called them and said, can we see it . Well show you how real it is. Look at this. Where cars would normally be parked, there are nowpatients. 265 have come through this Field Hospital in just the last three weeks. When you have to resort to a parking garage, you know things are pretty bad. That means this is real. Dr. Jacob kepperman had just started his job here three weeks ago when he tweeted a picture of the parking garage turned Field Hospital right before patients arrived. Now some on social media seized on the empty beds suggesting it and the pandemic was fake. One of those was retweeted by president trump. It was sad and insulting. Reporter the rampant spread of misinformation is complicating efforts to control the pandemic. Thats according to dr. Deborah birx of the White House Coronavirus task force. I hear Community Members paritying back those situations, parred on that masks dont work. This is the worst event this country will face. Reporter to california where rising hospitalizations led to more regional lockdowns sunday night. By order of the governor, this affects more than 30 Million People. Starting today, salons are closed. Retailers are under strict capacity limits. And all dining indoor and out, is suspended through christmas. If im not open by february, ill no longer be here. My restaurant cannot open for togo. Reporter Restaurant Owner angra marsden is among those supplieding to change their rules after she noticed an Outdoor Dining tent for a film crew 15 feet away from her now closed outdoor patio. Tell me that this is dangerous but right next to me is a slap in my face. The way it works in los angeles is that county officials classify Video Production work as essential. And require regular covid testing at tv and movie shoots. Back here in nevada where we are, casinos and restaurants have a 25 capacity limit. Nurse janet baum says her hospital has never been busier than it is now. Never in my wildest nightm e nightmares would i ever have thought wed see something that would be killing this many people. Reporter janet works here at the Medical Center which services not only northern nevada but part of Northern California and even idaho. This hospital is central to this area and now theyre using a parking garage because they have run out of room. One more thing, the uk is set to start injecting people with their Coronavirus Vaccine as soon as tomorrow. And anthony, later in the week, the fda should give us an update on the pfizer vaccine. If all goes well, they could get approval within two or three days after that. Fingers crossed, david. Thank you. Joining susdr. Celine gounder, a member of president elect joe bidens advisory board. Hes an epidemiologist and Infectious Disease expert at the Grossman School of medicine and Bellevue Hospital here in new york. Dr. Gounder, good morning. As we just saw california is again going into regional lockdowns. How effective a strategy do you think that is . So, you know, i think we are, unfortunately, having to look at restricting certain activities, dialing up some of these restrictions around dining, around other group activities. We know that when you are indoors, when you are crowded amongst other people, and when you are not Wearing Masks that increases the risk of transmission. So, unfortunately, given how out of control the virus is at this point, we are having to dial up some of those restrictions again. Dr. Gounder, we should tell viewers. Your shot is frozen which is why were not looking at you, but we can still hear you. Do you think other states should take this kind of measure if theyre in similar situations . Well, i think ideally, we should be more proactive than this where we dont find ourselves in a situation where the virus is to this degree out of control. Unfortunately, not everybody decided to stay home in their household bubbles to wear masks, to socially distance, to have activities outdoors versus indoors over the thanksgiving holiday. And were now seeing the resulting surge from that. The chief scientific adviser for operation warp speed, says he plans to meet with the biden team this week to discuss a distribution of a vaccine. What do you need from the doctor to ensure a smooth transition . Well, we really need to understand what their plan for distribution is. We have already been trying to get a handle on how many doses will be available to us from each of the companies and by when. But we do need some internal information on that from the federal government. We also need to understand where they are with their plans. Its not enough to acquire the doses of the vaccine to purchase the doses. You also need to have a plan to distribute them all the way down to the level of the health care provider, the nurse, who is going to inject that dose of vaccine into somebodys arm. And so we really need that level of granular detail on where they are with the Vaccine Distribution planning. And you havent gotten any of that yet . We have yet to see any kind of detailed plan. What is your biggest concern regarding the distribution of the vaccine . Well, i think a couple. One, we want to be sure there will be enough doses, as have been promised. We know that were not going to be able to vaccinate everyone all at once. But we need to have some realistic projections so that we can prioritize the doses that we have accordingly. And we really want to make sure were vaccinating for maximum impact. We want to be preventing deaths, and we want to be preventing transmission. And you cant really make a plan for that if you dont know what tools youre working with. Quickly, dr. Gounder, we heard dr. Birx say this is the worst event the country will face. What do you expect in the next few weeks here before christmas . Well, sadly, you know, hospitals are overrun. I think that is going to get worse, frankly, over the next several weeks. Im still seeing patients. I know my colleagues are really burned out from being on the front lines, fighting this for months. And now they are being asked to see that many more patients. They themselves may not be able to take time off over the holidays. And thats going to contribute to burnout as well. And i think, unfortunately, some americans may continue not to follow the Public Health guidance that we had offered before thanksgiving. And that may lead to further transmission over the upcoming holidays. Dr. Celine gounder, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Breaking overnight, president elect joe biden has announced a string of top appointees who could dramatically change the governments response to the coronavirus pandemic. Nikole killion is covering the transition in wilmington, delaware, with more on this story. Good morning. Who is on the bidens team of Health Advisers . Well, gayle, there are several notable picks here, including the president elects choice to lead the department of health and Human Services, California Attorney general Xavier Becerra. As hhs secretary, becerra would oversee the Coronavirus Response and a budget totalling more than a trillion dollars. If confirmed, hed be the first latino to fill the role. Becerra doesnt have a Public Health background but has been a staunch defender of the Affordable Care act. And prior to his time as californias top lawyer he helped shepherd it through the house as a congressman. Mr. Biden revealed his choice for the cdc, dr. Rochelle walensky, a Harvard Medical School professor and chief of Infectious Disease at massachusetts general hospital. The president elect selected dr. Vivek murthy to reprise his former role as u. S. Surgeon general. Hes already on bidens covid advisory board. And dr. Anthony fauci will serve as the president elects chief medical adviser. Now cbs news has also exclusively learned that the president elect is announcing new cochairs for his president ial inaugural committee this morning. It will be led by House Majority whip jim clyburn along with two other congressional members. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Los Angeles Mayor eric garcetti. Tony . Nikolle, thank you. The coronavirus has hit president trumps inner circle. This time its his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani who was reportedly admitted yesterday to Georgetown University Medical Center in washington. And last night, giuliani tweeted that hes getting great care and feeling good. Weijia jiang reports from the white house. How you can say this is not supported when there are now tape after tape after tape reporter Rudy Giuliani appeared on Television Sunday morning claiming president trumps fight to overturn the Election Results was making progress. Just hours later, the president revealed that giuliani tested positive for covid19. In a tweet he wished giuliani a speedy recovery and praised him for working tirelessly, exposing what he described as the most corrupt election by far in the history of the usa. A claim that mr. Trump continues to peddle, even though it is not true. Giulianis diagnosis follows weeks of traveling across the country to contest the november results through courts. Last week he spoke in arizona, georgia and michigan, often without covering his face. I dont want you to do this if you feel uncomfortable, but would you be comfortable taking your mask off so people can hear you more clearly . Can you hear me . Reporter they tweeted out this picture of giuliani posing with several lawmakers, all without masks. The States Legislature announced sunday it would close for a week out of an abundance of caution for recent cases and concerns relating to covid19. In a statement, the Trump Campaign legal team says giuliani did not experience any symptoms or test positive within 48 hours of returning from his trip. He was most recently in georgia on thursday. As for their efforts to fight the outcome of the election, a campaign Attorney Says giuliani getting the virus will not impact their work and that they will press on. Gayle . Weijia, thank you very much. Georgias governor says he cannot obey president trumps demand to call the legislature into session to reverse his states president ial vote. Governor brian kemp says that would be illegal. The president complained bitterly about georgias vote count at a weekend rally. The states two republican senators now face runoffs. Mark strassmann is in marietta, nar atlanta, with more on this. There was an empty podium last night because one of those senators skipped a debate. Good morning. Good morning to you gayle. Republican incumbent david perdue skipped the debate. Hell tell you hes already debated jon ossoff once and now hes talking directly to georgia voters. Ossoff would tell you perdue skipped it because he got clobbered the first time. Georgia voters will decide with these runoff elections less than a month away. I have built my career reporter republican senator Kelly Loeffler keeps her Campaign Message simple. She backed trump all the way and sidestepped when asked if the president won reelection. President trump has every right to use every Legal Recourse available. In our own state weve seen time and again that we have investigations that need to be completed. Reporter she called her opponent, reverend Raphael Warnock, a radical liberal. He described her as out of touch with georgia voters. After being in the senate for ten months, she does not have a case to be made for why the people of georgia should keep her there. Reporter but at least they debated on the same stage. In georgias other runoff, democratic challenger jon ossoff faced an empty podium. Incumbent republican senator david perdue was a noshow. It shows an astonishing arrogance and sense of entitlement for georgias senior u. S. Senator to believe he shouldnt have to debate at a moment like this in our history. Reporter the president campaigned for both candidates saturday night in georgia. But spent most of his hour and a half long speech complaining about his own Election Results. The candidates themselves spent less than three minutes on stage with the president. You must go vote, and vote early. Reporter he pushed supporters to vote while casting doubt on the election process. By repeating false claims he was cheated out of a victory. Well still win it. And theyre going to try and rig this election, too. Reporter his refusal to concede has sparked a republican battle in georgia. He has pressured Governor Brian Kemp to call the States Legislature into special session to overturn joe bidens victory here. Kemp refused again in a statement sunday night saying that is not an option allowed under state or federal law. You got to make sure your governor gets a lot tougher than hes been. Hes got to get a lot tougher. Reporter the president has also been tough on georgias republican secretary of state. Brad raffensberger said there was no evidence of fraud in georgia. Right now we dont see anything that would overturn the will of the people here in georgia. Reporter but many Top Republicans here are also worried at the way the president is trying to undermine the integrity of georgias elections and heres why, tony. They are worried that Republican Voters might be discouraged from showing up at next months runoffs. Ill take it, mark, thank you. The Senate Control of the senate at stake in georgia.

Hospitals across america are struggling to cope with the surge of coronavirus cases. In new england, about 60,000 new infections and 600 new deaths were reported across six states in the past week alone. They opened a large Field Hospital last week. Reporter good morning, anthony. Inside the convention center, there are 600 beds currently treating two dozen patients, in addition to being one of the busiest test sites here in providence. This Field Hospital is one of three up and running throughout new england. Got a firsthand look in worcester, massachusetts hours before it began accepting patients. When Massachusetts Closed its covid Field Hospital in worcester, the hope was theyd never need to reopen it. This is one of the first Field Hospitals in america, opened april 9th. We closed around may 23rd, now we are open again. Theres no other Field Hospital in america we are aware of that had to do that for covid. Dr. Dixon, president of U Mass Memorial Health care explained, with cases skyrocketing, overwhelming hospitals, the 220 bed facility had to be reconstructed and reopened. Was it discouraging when you realized they have to do it again, the situation is that bad . It didnt have to happen. We had the virus under control in massachusetts and we started to reopen the state, most people are doing the right thing most of the time. But that wasnt enough. It required everyone to do the right thing every day. They have more beds and staff than before, enhanced capabilities like copper pipes, funneling in oxygen for patients, appears theyll need it. The states more than 247,000 cases jumped by more than 4700 just yesterday. Neighboring rhode island just opened this Field Hospital in providence in hopes of relieving its strained hospital system. Over the last week, the state led the nation in average daily cases per capita, according to the cdc. But holly susis parents, january and Jason Gingras did so, especially richard. Hospital delirium left him unaware where he was, why he was there. They died days apart without each other or their beloved family by their side. Stev steven susi was their grandson. What hurt them and other families is inability to comfort them. They were isolated. This is a couple that married for 69 years, about to have a 70th wedding anniversary, all they could think about was each other. Richard gingras will be buried thursday, one week after his belove wife of nearly 70 years was laid to rest. Most Public Health Officials Say they see no signs of the virus slowing down. With a vaccine on the horizon, dr. Dixon at the massachusetts Field Hospital told us he is encouraged what we are going through now is not merely a second surge of covid cases but hopefully a final surge. I hope thats right because we keep hearing surge upon surge and thanksgiving cases havent even hit yet. Thats right. Thats why it is maddening to hear the president say particularly that were rounding the corner. We are not. Or claiming the hospitals are somehow fake when theyre reopening and being set up. Heard dr. Deborah birx say it is the worst event in the countrys history. And as we heard on this show over and over again, what doctors and nurses are going through now, theyre doing epic work and are at the breaking point. Based on the trajectory for fatalities, dr. Birx is on track, numbers are with her in terms of deaths. Feels like ground hog day saying the same thing, we have to say the same thing over and over. Hopefully people will get it.

How the city is keeping the Christmas Spirit alive. Reporter bathed in the shimmering winter sunlight, the trim trimmings of a wonderland. The crowds are missing. Bethlehems major square bracing itself for a christmas like no other says father Issa Thaljieh of the church of nativity. Christmas would be a bit sad. We know that maybe by praying, by raising up our voice to god that things will change and coronavirus will disappear. Reporter last year, this is what christmas was like in bethlehem. Streets teeming with tourists, soaking up the festive cheer where jesus was born. In march, gates to the biblical city were slammed shut after Israeli Occupied west bank first outbreak of covid19 erupted. There are over 65,000 cases in the palestinian territory, more than 620 deaths, resulting in Strict Lockdown that spell doom for many of the small businesses. The eery silence isnt just on the streets, its also in churches. Here at the church of the nativity where it is believed jesus was born on this very spot. There are no crowds, no choirs singing, precious few of the faithful. For carmen ghattas, it is a chance to get closer to teachings of christ.

I admired him before he died, but the more you hear how he lived his life, what he was going through, admiration for him grows and grows and grows. More you hear, what a true class act and hero we lost. Not just the superheros, the luminaries he portrayed on the screen like james brown. He got james browns move down pat. It was really great.

Our lead National Correspondent thats David Begnaud is at a Field Hospital set up. Good morning. Whats the latest there . Reporter my friend, every time i hear from a troll on social media that the virus is being hyped or fake or the doctors are embellishing, i wish i could take people inside here and show them this. This is a parking garage that is now a covid ward. You know why . Because they ran out of rooms at the main hospital just across the street here in reno. This is renown Regional Medical center that services a 100,000squaremile area. Parts of northern nevada, idaho and even Northern California and this is what its resorted to and set it back up in april hoping to never use it and one of the doctors tweeted a picture, trolls on social media see it saying it was fake. They brought patients in right after that picture and even the president retweeted the tweet saying it was fake. So we called the hospital. We said wed like to show people how real it is and they said, well, come on. Well welcome you in. We saw more than 20 patients inside the parking garage yesterday. In the last three weeks more than 265 patients have come through here and let me tell you, the volume is pretty incredible. They are discharging 20 to 30 patients from the parking garage every day. These are people who are not sick enough to where they need to be on a ventilator in an icu but still too sick to go home. Renown is getting it right and, gayle, when you see patients in a parking lot where cars are usually parked, i dont know if it gets more shocking than this. Its unsettling and disturbing and shocking. So glad youre telling the story. Thank you very much. The two Senate Runoff elections in georgia are heating up. Kelly loeffler called democratic challenger Raphael Warnock a radical liberal in the debate last night. He said she lied on jesus by misquoting from his sermons. The second debate democrat jon ossoff was alone on stage after republican senator david perdue refused to take part. President trump led a rally for loeffler and perdue on saturday and repeated his false claim that the president ial election was rigged. Before the rally he urged georgias republican Governor Brian Kemp to convene a special legislative session to overturn the election. Kemp and Lieutenant Governor jeff duncan issued a joint Statement Last night after some other georgia republicans called for legislators to name new electors. Kemp and duncan said that would be illegal. Lieutenant governor jeff duncan joins us now. Good morning to you. Over the weekend you said you were concerned by the president s continued attacks, baseless attacks on the election and disgusted by the security threats that followed those. Im curious, what was your breaking point . Well, look, for five weeks weve been working hard to count every single legal vote in georgia. It has been unbelievable to see the mountains of misinformation continue to fly in from every angle liltal stuff that can be debunked in ten seconds or less and were focused on making sure we follow the letter of the law. Lieutenant governor, can you say when you talk about mountains of misinformation and i appreciate youre focused on following the law, your colleague, secretary of state raffensperger has been doing the same. Are you really surprised by this behavior from the president given that he has cast out on the election before the votes were cast and all the way back to 2016 it was he was calling it rigged. My focus is we have a very fair legal election but also to get senator loeffler and perdue reelected january 5th. There is no scenario i can see where its helpful for the mountains of misinformation in helping to turn out the vote on january 5th. My focus and encouragement to the president , to his team and senators trying to run for reelection that they reel align their focus on getting reelected. Lieutenant governor, there respectfully there are bigger things at stake than one election cycle. Were talking about attacks on democracy itself and talking about threats to the safety of people alive and well today. When you think about the president s behavior, here and now, its unfortunate that the spotlight is on you and your colleagues there in the state of georgia. Do you regret not speaking up when the president was attacking others in this way endangering their safety . Do you wish you had done something sooner so that you and your colleagues were not in this situation now . Well, im not certain of the basis of your question ill tell you the basis, mr. Lieutenant governor. The president attacks dozens of people a year on twitter and in many cases mayors, governors, senators, members of congress, everyday citizens, they then need security because the president has stirred up his supporters and kind of sicced them on em. Republicans did not speak up over four years of this happening. Now its happening to republicans. Do you regret now that youve seen what it feels like not speaking up sooner . Thats the basis. I think theres a great opportunity to pivot as republicans, you know, gop 2. 0 has got to include a better way to message, 280 characters on twitter is not a way to message to america and certainly weve got an opportunity to your point i think america as a whole wants leaders that are inspiring and not con descending, i have three boys im trying to raise and thats the message i want to drive home to them and im one of those folks that has added security. Its not fun. Its not american to be honest with you, the words and disparaging comments that continue to fly and were better than this. This is america. Do you regret, sorry, if youre saying its not american and this is a person you voted for twice, president trump, hes stirring this up, do you regret that vote and what do you want other republicans to do now to contain what is a deeply problematic situation for our society . Yeah, i want to us focus on january 5th here in georgia. This isnt only a big deal for us republicans in georgia but a big deal for republicans all over the country as we focus in on trying i think its important to understand georgias politics are such weve got eight statewide constitutional republican officers. Weve got republican majorities in the state senate and statehouse. This is a conservative state and weve got to make sure we send those folks back to the polls on january 5th. On election day an interesting statistic to understand, 53. 7 of folks in georgia voted for a republican state senator. Thats an important number to make sure that folks that are talking about, you know, the misinformation around election fraud, 53. 7 of folks voted for a republican for the state senate. Thats a very big number. Lieutenant governor duncan, i think youre right when you say its not american. We are better than this. I think your three boys can be proud that youre trying to put out the correct information out there. The thing i want you to address again, he played this tape, jeff, where you see somebody bringing out a suitcase he says are votes and that theyre doing something tricky with the votes. Could you please explain you say it can be cleared up in ten seconds. Can you explain what people are looking rat and explain why there is nothing nefarious happening here. I think the secretary of States Office did an incredible job of explaining this. But he keeps playing the tape. Yeah. Well, look, i cant change somebodys mind. I know. But i can certainly continue to separate fact from fiction and thats really the process were in is separating fact from fiction and moving on. Its certainly not helpful as i said earlier in the interview. There is no scenario where this makes sense to help Kelly Loeffler and david perdue get elected. Nobody was pulling out ballots from underneath the counting them is the point im trying to make. Its unfortunate so, Lieutenant Governor, simple yes or no, we do have to go. Do you think its time for the 200 members of congress who have yet to recognize the outcome of this election to step up and say, its over . Joe biden is going to be sworn in as the 46th president on january 20th and it will still be america and still have the constitution and still have a vigorous debate in the on coming years about policy.

In our Series School matters looking at how the pandemic is effecting classroom results. Twothirds of americans students are using some form of Remote Learning. Some new academic performance numbers suggest disruption to education is taking a heavy toll on many of them. Meg oliver spoke to students in different states about how theyre coping. Reporter students in montclair, new jersey havent seen the inside of a classroom in more than eight months. Across the country, 40 of districts fall into that category, and students grades tell a sad story. Earlishia oats is a single mom in tampa, florida. She chose all remote to protect the health of her oldest son that suffers from epilepsy. Her 15yearold daughter is struggling. Has she failed a grade before . She has not. And this fall . She made a b in history, she was freaking out. How is that effecting you . My daughter never struggled, to have her feel like shes being defeated is a problem. A problem happening to students around the country. In houston, one of the largest School Districts, the number of students with failed grades is exploding. During fall of this year, 42 of students received one or more fs in the first grading period which was 100 virtual. Last year, only 26 fell in that category. These children are struggling to read, struggling to do math. Christina quintero has two students in the district. Says her first grade daughter feels defeated. Is she getting down on herself . Oh, shes very critical, very critical in her academics. She wants them to be proud of her. We know theres been a significant loss of learning but i tell you, we are less concerned about that than we are about the social, emotional factors. Reporter dan domenech was a stu superintendent for years. Seeing increase in stress, the emotional impact on them. Carefully tracking suicide rates, which is a major factor. We are more concerned now about the Emotional Wellbeing of our students than we are about their academic loss. Reporter between march and october, Mental Health visits increased, compared to the same period last year. In wilson county, north carolina, 46 of grades 3 to 12 failed a class this fall virtually, more than double the same period last year. We made an early decision to award incompletes to students trying to make progress that werent where they were supposed to be. It sends a signal to finish. Reporter in cleveland, 42 of students are below the poverty line. The superintendent says 20 of Cleveland Metro students had incompletes in the first marking period. Is it fair to have traditional grading in all Remote Learning . We are moving towards does the student know what we want them to know before we move on or do they need to finish that learning. I think it is just another opportunity to question a past strategy and think about how to make a better system when we come out of the pandemic. Reporter if things dont improve for earlishias daughter, she will send her son to live with her mom. Last time he had a seizure, i almost didnt make it. It is more life and death for him. Numbers in Hillsborough County are rising. Thats one of the options we have been weighing. As parents face difficult decisions, the cleveland superintendent told me unfairly measuring students during a time no one could have imagined, theyre discussing ways to close the gap post pandemic, whether it involves summer school, night classes, or weekend camps. Tony . It will take a lot, thank you very much. Virtual learning, seems like the learning itself is virtual, people arent picking it up. Theyre really struggling. I think thats a good point in terms of youre unfairly measuring kids at this point, it is just they havent been through this before. You also know if your kids are stressed, youre stressed. I feel for her. Thank you very much. Ahead, the product that sold out after George Clooney said he uses one. Youre watching cbs this morning. He looks great.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Time to bring you stories that are talk of the table this morning. Anthony is first. Im up first. I have news of a blockbuster deal in the music industry. Universal Music Publishing Group Announced it is buying bob dylans entire catalog of songs. The landmark agreement covers more than 600 copyrights from dylans 60 year career. New york times calls it possibly the biggest acquisition ever of a single acts publishing rights. The price was not disclosed. According to times, estimated at more than 300 million. His best known works include blowing in the wind times they are a changing and lay, lady, lay. Other artists recorded his songs more than 6,000 times. And pay to do so, i guess. Yeah. And this is particularly big. First of all, songs are big because of streaming, it increased revenue. You see publishers buy up rights. Stevie nicks sold hers between 80 and 100 million. Majority stake in her song writing catalog. Publishers are scrambling to gather up songs like this. Thats why youre seeing a push. But this is a huge number and incredible catalog. Rolling stone when they rank top 500 songs in 2004, there were 15 dylan songs and he had the number one spot as well. 300 million. That sounds like a deal to get that catalog. It does. He got 100 for his first contract. Big number. Thats a little different. Mine is about a High School Senior in texas fighting the high school dress code. 17yearold trevor wilkinson, you go. He was suspended for having his nails painted. The School District handbook says makeup and nail polish are prohibited for boys. Trevor made this change. Org petition protesting the dress code. He says it is a double standard, girls are allowed to paint their nails. Trevor who is openly gay wants people to sign it so in his words people like me dont ever have to deal with this ever again. It is time for a change and that time is now. More than 67,000 people signed the petition. And the reason i say trevor, you go, is 2020, in the schools defense will say it is clearly stated in the rule book. If you dont like it, protest it at that time. I also think maybe the school needs to look at its rule book. I appreciate that he is speaking out. Things change. I would like to know when the rules were enacted at this high school in clyde, texas. I am glad trevor is speaking out. Seems like theyre out of touch with the times. Long time ago in my estimate. The flowby, rolled out in the 80s, sold out thanks to George Clooney. Last month, he revealed in an interview for cbs sunday morning he personally uses it. My hair cuts take literally two minutes. Is this flow be . It works. George clooney, sexiest man alive many years running says he bought one years ago, never looked back. So the Vice President says they cant keep it in stores. Tenfold increase in sales, the clooney effect. I had no idea what that was. Looking at this on tv. It is cutting your hair. Theres a razor in there. You get a haircut, they hold up hair, take it out with scissors, the vacuum cleaner holds up the hair, the razor goes across. Theyre showing a woman use it there. I dont think a lot of women, it is a few men somewhere. George looks good. Right now, he is cutting his hair, right . He is using it. Cutting his hair now. And theyre sold out. I can see why. I would think George Clooney had a head start. George always looks good. You know who always looks good . Sinl cyndi lauper. For more than 40 years, shes been telling us to show our true colors. I see your true colors shining through i see your true colors and thats why i love you so dont be afraid. Love that song. Still sounds good. Grammy and tony award winner is turning that into advocacy, cofounding true colors united, seeks to end homelessness among lbgtq youth. For the tenth year, she hosts cyndi lauper and friends home for the holidays to raise money for her organization. It will be virtual the first time because of the pandemic.

Better question is, i know youre doing good. Pandemic, who cares, it is not stopping me. Clearly it didnt. Did you have doubts you could pull it off for a tenth year . You must have. Oh, my god. We were kind of like i dont know, but you know what, we got help, we have been working with somebody who did it before, a director, and it is fantastic. We have so many great artists like cher and dolly parton, boy george, amanda giles, jackson brown, Young Artists young princess and phoebe bridges. Go ahead. More people just stop by, that will stop by, like taylor swift, billie eilish, ll cool jay.

You cofounded true colors united back in 2008. You have been doing this concert for ten years. Do you think this issue is getting the attention it deserves . Well, honestly, this year we are working with the u. N. I was given an award and we will premier the little commercial that we did with the u. N. And the fact that the u. N. Acknowledges this is an International Issue and that these youth are only homeless because of who they are. This is a fixable situation. We can fix this. And we are working eradicate this situation for lbgtq plus and for youth of color. And we are focused on making it happen. We work on a local level. We work on a state level. Why is it so personal for you . You could lend your name to many things and your efforts. Why is this so personal for you . Because im a friend and Family Member and where i come from, you dont stand by, watch your friends and family stripped of civil rights or yeah, civil rights, having a home. Were you homeless . Yeah, actually, yeah, i was, per a law in new york you had to be 21 to sign a lease, i didnt have anybody to sign a lease. I wound up in vermont and i went to a youth place that turned out to be a place for homeless run aways, and they thought i was a run away, they thought i looked young, but they helped me and i actually went to college in vermont. I finished, got my ged. It was at a time they had programs to help people. I was on welfare. I didnt want to be on welfare. I wanted to be learning and working. I actually went up to the woman, said can you give me a job, please . I just want a job. She sent me to this guy, he started talking to me, said what would you like to do. I wound up working with animals. Honestly, gayle, i didnt think i was ever going to be famous. I thought i would just work with animals, not people.

Once i started doing that, i thought oh, my gosh, i forgot, i can sing. It is kind of stupid to think like that. But i hadnt sung. And i just remembered the feeling of singing. Even when i started, i thought i was great. I wasnt great, but it felt great to sing. Thats what i miss all the time, you know. So i had to learn. I am still learning. To do this thing, i had to learn how to deal with editors and how to do remote stuff. Still learning. You figured it out. All right. Cyndlauper, thank you so much for being with us.

One group of high school influencers in the state is determined to make a difference in the elections, beating the pros as registering and motivating young voters. Mark strassmann joins us from the atlanta suburb marietta. Good morning. How are they doing it . Reporter good morning. I think for starters, teenagers just know how to talk to other teenagers. This group, they reached out, worked hard, discovered something that a lot of peers want to have a voice in whats happening in this country. And with georgias runoff elections coming up, the group has a new challenge. Underneath the suburban atlanta back porch, youll find a genz wave of registration. Whats surprising to me, so many people are getting behind that. Reporter in september, edward and Three Friends launched students for tomorrow. We get a ton of voters there. Reporter they register young, first time voters, mostly college freshmen. We built our own text based software, volunteer tracking, voter tracking. They connected with three dozen grass roots organizations. It blew up. Tons of people posting. How many new voters . We estimate 65,000. Seems huge to me. Does it seem huge to you . Surreal. Reporter students for tomorrow estimates they registered 18,000 young voters just in georgia. Joe biden won the state by about 12,000 votes. Keep in mind. Younger voters coming into the electorate are ideologically liberal compared to other age demographics. Reporter part of the pitch, good Old Fashioned peer pressure. How can you be okay with this.
