Perhaps no place as much as one small border town. That's very much on point Lee Cowan will be showing us around. This is one of the few places in America covert didn't take a foothold yet it's Delta hammer blow, what's so what's it feel like here now. It's a ghost or menu if they want to do a film on a ghost on you about the plan you want to leave their already gone point.

Robert America's little corner of Canada and how covert is close Google wave on Sunday during some not so long ago. Difficult times in our country. Americans found comic relief by going on the road with Bob Hope.

To this day he's one of our legends of comedy as Tracy Smith reminds us days of World War II visit from Bob Hope brought a little light and no one knew that more than his family back home. What was it like to have Bob Hope as a dad. Dad was a really fun guy and he was more like a friend, a playmate than he was a dad Bob Hope alleges that war and on the home front ahead on Sunday morning. Michelle Miller has our Sunday profile award-winning actor director Regina King David Paul meets one of the Nobel prize-winning inventors of the gene editing technique known as crisper David Martin looks into the role of the extremist group called oath keepers in January's capital attack plus culvert at one year journals from Remy's NCO in China, along with commentary from Dana Perino and more on this Sunday morning 7 March 2021 will be right back.

You might say that the folks in one isolated small town complaints about covert lockdowns very much on point is I really Cowan discovered first-hand covert and had a pretty hard time finding its way to point Roberts, Washington is been only one confirmed case here since the pandemic began use remote map point Roberts looks like it should be part of Canada except that this little fingertip dangled just below the 49th parallel officially making it part of Washington state court protect America, the world's largest good is giving the only way for Americans to get to the rest of the US by land is a 20 Four Mile Dr. through Canada.

That means getting passed to international border guards. That's been our primary access to our country is through another country. That's just been built that way they move and what purpose is the Fire Chief Chris Carlton organizing about a thousand vaccines for old good bad news is in keeping with US and Canadian covert travel restrictions without central reason no vaccinated or not drives in or out point Roberts no communities across the United States are suffering but because of her geographical oddity. We been disproportionately affected if you found a plane you could fly off Roberts. Although this is what passes for the airport and try to fairy too much because of choppy seas, it sometimes can't make the crossing and does than what having a rent a car when you get there on the ferry getting taxis, tubers, and a lot of my community don't have the funds to do that despite the difficulties getting in or out Canadian officials say the border restrictions are justified because residents import Roberts have everything they need a Savior.

Sort of self-sufficient. That's a lot. They say that the right logo, but as someone who's never been that is, this is the United States that's Brian called the director of the part Roberts Chamber of Commerce rib no doctors here. We have no reps here. No medical facility like a drugstore list of more things we don't have, compared to everyone else but what we do, what they have in abundance is something nearby Canadians resist across the boring summertime quadrupling population but now all they can do is come to that invisible boundary in this case marked by small yellow barricades and look across as hopeful in the beginning. That's where he met Maggie more subtle curve that monies will be of 40 foot wall exactly she owns this cottage just a stones throw from where we were talking, and so do a lot of other Canadian you can tell which ones because they have been allowed to tender their properties in almost a year. It's devastating. I miss it like a family member. I haven't seen in over a year truly cross-border commerce is the lifeblood point Robert making up as much is 85% of the annual income of the businesses here. My credit card things I've died and gone to heaven. Haven't used it down.

Canadians, this little corner of America may have dodged covert, but not its ripple effect. There's some days we don't have a single customer.

Beth Calder runs a package receiving business here.

Canadians can avoid expensive international shipping fees under Amazon and eBay purchases by just picking them up across the border instead of for almost a year boasting packages set orphan, some 2000 and what is that due to your business of scribbling. It's very crippling. Last March I the last eight of my 10 staff instantly as soon as the border close Canadians also used across the border for cheaper prices on Bill.

That's in part at least, why part Roberts is only grocery store. Is this be owner Allie Hayden thought about closing the border did.

She knew she could buy clothes there still access for anyone to take care the left ear. Some have already moved for good. This used to be a busy street right on the board not far away. The gas station empty restaurants or shutter found bank left.

It's a ghost at the bald Eagle golf club to cool and the rest of his grounds group still tender the empty fairways and bump in the hopes that one day there Will get out of the rough, but it has to happen soon. How many people do you normally get you the runaround 20,000 year measure. None outside the longer this goes on the fewer people are going to help. They have to move for unemployment because there is none. So how long can it last until we run out of people.

Point Roberts is a lifestyle is much as it is a destination residents pride themselves on their independence. So if they ask for a hand really meet the fear though, at least in the age of covert that they may be shouting into the wilderness. We can weather almost anything in our community. We are extremely resilience overall and that comes with no double-sided sort right because sometimes you can be resilient to the point that other people forget that you're here, FBI director Christopher Ray warns during his Capitol Hill testimony this past week of the ongoing threat of domestic terrorism this morning. Our David Martin takes a look at the extremist group that goes by the name oath keepers. Whoever coined the phrase once a marine always a marine not have a Marine Corps veteran using the Marine Corps flag to attack the Capitol police officer Thomas Webster is one of more than 30 have served in the military now charged with crimes of the capital you surprised by the number of military veterans who have been arrested for storming the Very disappointed. This is an issue that I think can erode the great respect that are American citizens have for foreign military. In an interview soon to be broadcast on 60 minutes, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the Pentagon is still coming to grips with extremism in the ranks.

I don't expect to see significant numbers inside of our ranks, although I think the members will be up only a bit larger than we would believe, but I will tell you that a small number of people can have an outsized affect small number at the capital form one law enforcement called staff military formation used to move through grounds. It doesn't take an army to do what happened. It takes people with some skill set to leave those other former FBI agent Tom O'Connor spent two decades investigating extremists extremist elements in the United States have long tried to recruit former military and former law enforcement into the ranks for their skill set, and for the mindset of a culture trained to resort to violence when all else fails, Army veteran Stuart Rose founded a group called oath keepers in 2000.

None lead your local channel that's moving through the mob and up into the capital is made up of both deep at least three of them are military better.

The benefit of the mobs provides little to cover shamus use deputy director of George Washington University's program on extremism calls the military veterans at the capital the tip of the spear. These are the folks that had some level of planning prior to January 6 right.

It wasn't just a spur of the moment they saw an opportunity seized. They executed what the military would call a multipronged attack portion Capitol police to defend different fronts, simultaneous the approach by the writers is from several different angles, so there separating the law enforcement that was there to thin them out they had the means to do.

Prosecutors allege Jessica Watkins I know people who once served in the Army used a walkie-talkie app on her cell phone to communicate.

We have about 3040 others. She said everything we think, trained for, came the response. Even a basic infantry soldier has the skill set of tactics of movement to an objective and use that I think others follow.

Once you reach that doorway are those windows then it's like water flowing into the very difficult to stop. So far, nine oath keepers have been indicted for their role in bridging the gap is the oath keepers. No, not by any means organizations much larger than nine law enforcement doesn't know exactly how many extremists are out there, in part because it doesn't always recognize their secret codes, the average person that doesn't know that code. It's going to be right :-( you don't know it. Some examples of this code. If I say, when the hallway takes place you the racial holy war is Pentagon report published photographs of skinhead tattoos to help commanders spot extremists in their ranks.

The report warned military members are highly prized by these groups is they bring legitimacy to their causes and enhance their ability to carry out their attacks. You have any ideas for how you prevent military people taking their military training and using it for extremist purposes. I think we need to do counseling throughout to make sure that they're aware of the fact that there organizations that will try to recruit them because of the skills that they have Defense Secretary Austin has ordered a one day standdown for the entire force to focus on the threat of extremism, but he knows there is no one-day solution. This is not something that we can fix and put on the shelf. This is something I think we have to stay with for a long long time now, and director Regina Kang already has numerous awards. To her credit, including an Oscar and another may be in the offing.

Michelle Miller has our Sunday profile through Regina King's old stomping grounds in Los Angeles unexpectedly became little walk down memory lane part that honoring Marla get Kings costar into 27 and 1980s TV show launched her career.

Four years later, starring role in HBO's peeler superhero reboot watchman has brought her an entirely different base, something she knowledges is a bit of a running joke. You probably know me from being in like some of your favorite movies and you probably know me from watching right now that the fact that you know there seems to be to audiences or three audiences. A lot of us are just living in the present. You know, and have not connected the dots you know every now and then I'll have that moment where some of those I you worrying that that's the blessing of a fruitful career.

You know from Oscar-winning role is to determine mother Beale Street to her Emmy-winning roles in the TV series, seven seconds, and American crime lies come back on the liars deceptions come back on the deceivers and 50 King is getting awards buzz for one night in Miami for direct oriole debut daunting scary scary scary in a good way don't want to fail the legacies of these men it's the fictional account of the real story of Malcolm X singer-songwriter Sam Cooke tells Jim Brown and caches Clay, later known as they meet up in a hotel room after a boxing match all my pretty like I knew these men, I saw my son these conversations, I saw my father in these conversations. They love, they are vulnerable to strong with the web and manual boys challenges the characters face is how to use their platform to make a difference, something Kim says she thought a lot about after the police killing in Minneapolis George Floyd. She wanted to release the film ASAP.

Oh, we become complacent and we don't continue to be diligent things can lead right back to where they were so weak.

That's what makes that conversation one night in Miami so urgent right now because black people dying in the streets this happening again boys are biggest take away think that God put me here to tell more of our stories. It was a reminder that the black story is an American story which King grew up middle-class daughter of an electrician and teacher who pushed her and her sister into the arts. I guess I would probably have to thank my mother for helping me keep my priorities in order.

Stars don't turn out like you they don't and also I was a child star before the smart phone eager to show her range. She jumped at the chance to play against type invoice in the hood exactly thrilled. She told me the ladies at the chair asking me Regina speak like that.

Where did she learn that writing so you know my grandmother's similar roles followed.

I kind of got in a box where people just wanted to offer me wells that were like hooded girl roles in UL and then I broke out of that box and became so how do you break them all. I think along came Ray addition for the part of the mistress having your baby screen after going through a divorce. King made the bold decision to turn down roles outside of LA so she wouldn't have to leave her young son behind now he's 25. Was it hard to say no to projects now now I've seen so many examples of parents that have had to make the choice to not be there as consistent in their children's lives inches Kino what that aftermath was of that year when Kobe deferred so many of our plans.

King was hit hard emotionally.

Sometimes it's even a simple is now that things are opening up and you go into your regular store or someplace that you used to go frequent and find out that face that person that you knew so well is no longer with this is that for you. Who are those tears that it is actually just tears for everyone and we so quickly say how you doing fine.

So many of us are not fine this time of uncertainty and unrest.

Regina King sees her next story is one of hope. I would like to actually witness the change and part of that is is Americans owning that ugly stuff that still exist. So I would like to witness a fabric when the fabric gets to the place where we all think it's beautiful, and then go home to my grandma and say what officials are still trying to nail down exactly how and where coronavirus got its start, which is taken Iranian SNC out to the Chinese province of Yunnan swirling in the skies like a living River bats across much of Asia, are believed to be lucky they live very long.

Resistant to a lot of diseases cancel diabetes, heart disease, and China's Batman biologist Lynn fall wall says if there's one point. Most experts agree on ancestral varus and from back Cove. It's closest known relatives in the natural world, a 96% genetic match was ID here in horseshoe bat droppings in 2013 in a copper mine in this hazy rolling countryside of China, Southwest Yunnan province.

Our CBS News team searched for it were six men contracted a novel flulike virus in 2012. Three died before we found that mine.

We found this angry men shouting at us to leave just been chased off away from where the mine is these guys are proof that they're trying to control the people who go in and therefore trying to hold information that comes out. What is the percentage chance COBIT is man-made.

You because we don't have enough knowledge to make the sauce will be to varus from all the existing bars. China's top-secret Institute of virology has been at the center of controversial allegations. COBIT was created in the lab here. The city was ground zero for the world's first known cases what scientists say the search for COBIT's origin should not be limited to one country that don't recognize borders and neither do viruses from here in remote Yunnan province for Southeast Asian nations are less than 200 miles away Nam Miramar, Laos and Thailand. Some bat species can fly 200 miles in one day coaching from Temple west of the tie kingdoms capital Bangkok millions of these flying mammals mesmerized horse sunset. They've also attracted Thailand's that woman soup up on what type of study since the pandemic hit.

She and her team from the Thai Red Cross have sample tiebacks for Corona viruses to determine how close they are to Cove. It the people who collect fat in cattle prods caves to sell for fertilizer are proof, not one has tested positive for coronavirus antibodies. What we still don't know how or where coronavirus jumped from bats to humans. More and more like it looks like a Russian runner varus earlier this year, delegates from the World Health Organization visited Wuhan, but they've now scrapped their interim report after allegations China did not give them full access to all data.

Further complicating a mystery that could take years, even decades to so ever at all crisp, a long and complicated acronym that holds the promise of treating a lengthy list of diseases. David Pogue has been talking to one of its creators.

For the first time the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to two women. When Jennifer Dowd won the Nobel Prize for chemistry last year there was no black tie ceremony in Sweden because of the pandemic. She picked up the metal in her backyard. Let's cut to the really important thing where you keep your Nobel I told I have the replica in my house, he noticed a little frame and I have the real metal stashed away in a safe.net is a biochemist at the University of California at Berkeley. She and her collaborator Manuel Sharp and today won the Nobel for their 2012 work on a scientific breakthrough that's frequently described with words like miraculous. The gene editing technique known as crisper stands for clustered regularly interspace short palindromic repeats. Don't ask me to say that again. I knew I would guess what is in the real world. Is it a computer software is not computer software it's if you are looking at it in my lab, you would see a tube of colorless liquid two tubes actually the first contains molecules that have been engineered to latch onto one particular gene in the cells of a living thing. A specific part of its DNA. The proteins in the other liquid. Cut the DNA at that spot like a ZIP Code that you can address to find a particular place in the DNA of a cell and literally like scissors make cutting DNA like this usually disables the gene we can disable a gene that gives us a disease or shut off the gene that limits how much further Cashmere goats grow or how much muscle beagle grows, the next step is much harder, swapping in different DNA sequence, replacing it with something we created ourselves will be able to rewrite the genes of any plant, animal or person. When I started this book I thought okay biotechnology and crisper. It's the most amazing thing happening in our time and then I realized by the end I was understating the case. Walter Isaacson is the author of best-selling books about Benjamin Franklin. Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs's latest. The code breaker published by Simon & Schuster part of Viacom, CPS is about Jennifer Dowd not enter work on crisper your face is there on the cover. What was that like getting the Walter Isaacson treatment well.

A combination of absolute terror combined with knowing that I was in the best possible Ben Franklin, Steve Jobs, and you and Einstein since Dowd and a publisher paper in 2012, a lots been going on in the world's crisper labs. Scientists have bred more nutritious tomatoes and created a wheat that doesn't contain gluten. Clinical trials are underway to treat some cancers using crisper techniques. Those medical treatments show off crisper's most jaw-dropping possibilities about 7000 human diseases are caused by gene mutations that, in theory, we can simply snap away. They include muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease and sickle-cell disease. A blood disorder that brings debilitating pain, infections, and early death. It affects about 100,000 Americans, including Victoria gray Mississippi mother of four who became the first American to be treated with crisper fixed genes in the year since the experimental treatment.

She's had no severe pain or hospitalizations. Of course, like any revolutionary technology.

This one has a dark side. Headlines are always about. Oh what you've unleashed is designer babies like people are going to say I want one haired, supersmart, super muscular is that real well yes and no. Mostly know we don't really know which genes need to be for the kinds of traits that you mentioned and I suspect that were talking about dozens if not more genes that we need to be tweet doing that would be technically very challenging. So I don't think were on the verge of a world of crisper babies myself, but it's close enough in the sense that the technology fundamentally could enable this that I think it's critical that we have a discussion about it. Most people who study this say you got a draw line between with medically necessary were trying to make sure people get sickle-cell anemia are Huntington's, but at the blurry line. I mean if you're trying to improve somebody's memory to make sure they don't have Alzheimer's also improving the memory.

There's also a difference between editing one person's genes, like Victoria gray and making changes that will be passed on to their children. The course say healthy babies. In 2018. The Chinese doctor edited the embryos of three Chinese babies so that they and their descendents would be resistant to the HIV virus.

I think we still need to understand the motivation for the study and what the process was for informed consent scientists worldwide condemned him for going rogue in China at first for about a day was celebrated as the first person to create designer babies. But even the Chinese were appalled by what he did and eventually get dried and put under house arrest since that event has been hosting a series of international conferences designed to hammer out ethical guidelines for using crisper so that agreements are in place before a disaster happens today is a fabulous technology that I think will ultimately help many many people around the world.

And so to me it's more a question of managing it in the last year some of the most prominent crisper labs including diagnosis have turned her attention to a different scientific holy Grail protecting us from coded starting with work on the cheap fast at home covert test. I imagine having little crisper based devices so that people can come to works for Toobin in 30 minutes.

Get an answer telling them whether they need to be quarantined in the meantime, scientists all over the world are exploring crisper stunning potential to improve our lives. You think this biotech revolution will be as in scope and impact of the digital revolution was all I think biotech revolution is going to be 10 times more important than the digital revolution because it allows us to hack code of life and we shouldn't be afraid of using this technology to make ourselves healthy. Everything will be okay. It's a message for young women in a new book from Fox News commentator Dana Perino. She says is a lesson she learned long ago from one very fine teacher when I back the rates of what got me to where I am today. I keep returning to my grandfather. Clearly Perino at Newcastle, Wyoming, Perino was a World War II Marine veteran rancher devoted husband, father and grandfather. He had strong hands, a gentle soul and deep blue eyes. I was his firstborn grandchild.

He taught me to write my pony. Sally gave me my first pair of red cowboy boots. I love helping him get ready for his County Commissioner meetings, dressy wranglers and a bolo tie. He taught me the importance of civic duty and gave me my first piece of networking advice except the drink they offer important in the first place. You see, my grandfather adored my grandmother Vicki. They became my early model for a successful marriage. Their love is a simple but sweet routine be present and supported drive around the ranch just to be together and talk about the birdfeeder every night. My grandfather's way of life. Working the land, helping other ranchers and modeling integrity and intelligence like a tail out of the Western storybook grandma Perino died suddenly of a heart attack while moving cattle. The day after Thanksgiving in 2001. I wish a landline and at the seeming work in the White House, but I know in my heart that he was smiling down at me. Each time I stepped to the podium as George W. Bush's press secretary as I mentor young women in their careers and life choices. I returned to my grandfather's wisdom. Look at the big picture.

Stay true to your ribs and remember the joys of life begin each day with an open heart and a clear mind respect her commitments speak gently and treat others with love. I know he would've wanted me to go easy on myself judgment to women of all ages can be very hard on themselves. Sometimes, we can forget that to be love is the greatest gift in the best foundation we can ask for in life today. One year into a pandemic that impacted our lives in countless ways large and small were still navigating uncharted waters. Many of us feel isolated, divided and lost what has gotten me through the tough times is a steady hand little grant, good decision-making and humility. If we take care of ourselves and do our best will come out of these days, stronger something that came naturally to my grandfather, and with it an abiding sense everything will be okay. Thank you for listening.

Please join us when our trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning progress and crazy time once final point is when people in the best way to protect people final season Millstream
