>> i warned about it in the campaign. i could see that the man i was running against would literally do anything to get the votes of the extreme faction of the republican party who were willing to totally upend precedent and deny women their rights. so i did warn about it. but, you know, it's hard to warn in the abstract. and i think a lot of people said, "that will never happen. nobody will do that." this opinion is dark. it is incredibly dangerous, and it is not just about a woman's right to choose. it is about much more than that. and i hope people now are fully aware of what we're up against. because the only answer is at the ballot box to elect people who will stand up for every american's rights, and any american who says, "look, i'm not a woman. this distribute affect me. i'm not black that doesn't affect me. i'm not gay, that doesn't affect me. once you allow this kind of extreme power to take hold, you have no idea who they will come for next. >> o'donnell: it was nearly 30 years ago when hillary clinton famously said that phrase, and today eats led to this-- the opening of the first-ever global embassy for women. alyse nelson is the president and c.e.o. of the nonpartisan vital voices. >> it's certainly not lost on me that we are opening the doors to this global embassy for women's leadership at the same time that the rights that, quite frankly, i was born into, are now being rolled back. i think we need a global embassy because we need permanence. if you look around, there are so few places for women to gather. >> o'donnell: on the walls portraits of groundbreaking women, including her friend, madeleine albright, the first female secretary of state. and i know you're thinking of madeleine albright on this day. >> madeleine and i were the cofounders of vital voices all those years back. and it started as a dream that we could create a group that would keep the emphasis on women's issues and women's rights going forward. >> o'donnell: it's 2022. >> yes, it is. >> o'donnell: why are there still so few women in leadership positions in politics? >> it is so difficult to be in the public arena as a woman. and there is a double standard. let's be very clear about that. women are judged much more harshly to sustain the continuing pressure of being a woman in the public arena, you have to believe you're doing it for something bigger than just yourself. >> o'donnell: and we will have more of our interview tomorrow on "cbs mornings" and on cbsnews.com. there are breaking news regarding the safety of a popular covid vaccine. the news comes as the c.d.c. says confirmed covid cases are on the rise in 44 states as the u.s. closes in on a grim milestone-- one million covid deaths. here is cbs' nikki battiste. >> reporter: tonight, the f.d.a. now says it is limiting the use of johnson & johnson's single- dose covid vaccine to adults who can't get any other covid shot because of a rare but swept in.ly life-threatening from the northeast, where covid risk of blood clots, just as another omicron subvariant has swept in. from the northeast, where covid cases are up nearly 160%, to the west, a 200% spike in los angeles county. the question is what lies ahead? >> we have our eye on the south. when people spend more time indoors, to be in air conditioned rooms, you're likely going to see more transmission. >> reporter: cases are up in 44 states. hospitalizations are rising in 33. >> we have this new ultracontagious omicron subvariant, and we also have people returning to pre-pandemic life. they're not masking. they're socializing indoors. >> reporter: a covid outbreak on carnival's "spirit" cruiseship forced passengers who tested positive like darren sieferston to quarantine in their rooms. >> i literally stayed in this room for six days with no telephone service. they wouldn't answer the phone. >> reporter: carnival insists travelers were vaccinated and tests before bordering and that their health and safety protocols exceed c.d.c. guidelines. a reminder the pandemic is not over. nikki battiste, cbs news, new york. >> o'donnell: turning now to the economy. it was an all-day free-fall on with the as concerns over inflation and preventing a recession mount. the dow, nasdaq, and s&p all plummeted today with investors worried that the federal reserve's plan to fight inflation could slow the economy. the sell-off came just one day after the best trading day in two years on wednesday. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here. glad you're here, jill. good evening. what's causing the volatility? >> reporter: well, investors are worried that for the first time in 40 years, the fed is actually raising interest rates after inflation has already increased substantially. so the fear is that the central bank will either not be able to get inflation down quickly enough to steady the economy, or that they go too fast and trigger a recession. it's like the fed is driving a speeding car. they're tapping on the brakes and trying to slow it down over the next couple of years. if they don't get it right, the car-- our u.s. economy-- could veer off that road and land in a recessionary ditch. >> o'donnel: let's hope they do get it right. what is this people do, especially those who are worried about retirement? >> look, these days are tough, but i think it's helpful to remember that most of the of us are saving for long-term goals like retirement or college, likely years or decades in the future. hopefully, those who are already retired didn't have as much risk in the stock market. but if you're spooked and you're tempted to sell, remember-- if you cash out now, you're timing the market. and, norah, we know that rarely works. >> o'donnell: it's an important reminder. jill schlesinger, thank you. there was another dead tee attack in israel today as that country celebrated its independence day. at least three people were killed and four wounded in a stabbing attack near tel aviv. there has been a wave of violence in recent weeks between israelis and palestinians. tonight, cbs news has learned that the united states provided intelligence to ukraine that led to last month's sinking of one of russia's most essential warships, the guided missile cruiser. the u.s. did provide the location but had no role in the decision to strike it. meanwhile word of a third rescue operation is under way in mariupol to help the remaining civilians trapped inside that besieged steel plant. cbs' charlie d'agata reports from ukraine. >> reporter: amid a shattered truce, heavy fighting breaking out, and russian troops trying to finish off remaining fighters. hundreds of civilians remain trapped in the middle of what has become a fight to the death at the steel works in mariupol. the red cross confirming to cbs news tonight another rescue operation is under way, following the successful evacuation of more than 400 civilians. >> it's a very difficult and dangerous operation. it's an active conflict. so the routes might be dangerous. there might be active fighting ongoing in the surrounding areas. >> reporter: the russian offensive has already moved on from mariupol. a u.s. official tells cbs news around 10,000 troops have pushed north, part of an advance that has swallowed towns in its path. like azov north of mariupol, from where this family told us they escape with their lives. after surviving the massacre in bucha herself, yuka malnychenko begged her family to flee from the south. "i was just saying please get out of there, please just leave," she said. is your whole family back together now? "yes, yes, yes," she said. despite russia's persistan slaught, ukrainian forces are holding the line with significant help from u.s. weapons and intelligence. intelligence that has enabled ukrainian forces to target and kill a number of russian generals since the war began. this further u.s. intelligence to suggest that russia will try to forcibly annex the eastern regions of donetsk and luhansk, as well as the southern city of kherson in the coming weeks, even as the battle for those regions continues. norah. >> o'donnell: charlie d'agata, thank you. let's turn now to our interview with former defense secretary mark esper. he takes us inside the oval office during a tense standoff over what he calls a ridiculous plan to send 250,000 troops to the u.s.-mexico border. on this sunday's "60 minutes," he reveals more details from a new book, his new book, "a sared oath," which he says was fact checked at the highest levels of the pentagon. who suggested that we send a quarter million u.s. troops to the border? >> stephen miller. we're in a meeting waiting for the president to come out. we're standing around the resolute desk, and he's behind me. and this voice just starts talking about the caravans are coming and we need to get troops to the border. and we need a quarter million troops. and i think he's joking. and then i turn around and i look at him, and these dead-pan eyes, clearly he is not joking. and so, i say something like, "well, look, d.h.s. can handle whatever caravans are coming up. they've done so in the past." and he repeats, "no, we need a quarter million troops." and i just turned squarely around to him, faced him and say, "i don't have a quarter million troops to send on some ridiculous mission to the border." and i told this story to general milley and my chief of staff. i said, "let's be safe. let's just check and make sure that this isn't being worked somewhere in the building." and milley comes back days later, and the door opens up, and he's waving a document in his hands, and he says something like, "secretary, you're not ging to believe this." and that's when he explains to me that, yes, they were working, that we had developed a plan, initial concept of how this might happen. and i was just flabbergasted that not only was the idea proposed that people, people in my department, remember working on it. >> o'donnell: what would have been the implications if we had sent 250,000 active-duty u.s. troops to the border? >> it's just so absurd. i can't even consider. i mean, again, we don't have 250,000 troops to send to the border. and to do what? it's just ridiculous. >> o'donnell: whatever happened to that plan? >> well, it died. i gave general milley specific introduction to tell northcom, northern command, to stop working on it, to cease and desist. and that if anybody had any questions, you tell them they should call me direct. and i never got a phone call. >> o'donnell: it was dead. >> it was dead, and it died, as it should. >> o'donnell: well, when reached by cbs news, stephen miller declined to comment. we'll have more of my interview with former defense secretary mark esper on tomorrow's "cbs evening news" and sunday night on "60 minutes." well, still ahead here on tonight's "cbs evening news," millions in the path of dangerous storms, including tornadoes. we're tracking the severe weather. and researchers warn against mixing ibuprofen with some blood pressure medications. what you need to know. w. e workig up a sweat before coffee. and saying, “no thanks...” ...to a boston cream. jardiance is a once-daily pill that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who also have known heart disease. so, it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke. and jardiance lowers a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including... ...dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away... ...if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ...ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction, ...and don't take it if you're on dialysis. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. lower a1c and lower risk of a fatal heart attack?
