It was a nailbiting conclusion to a campaign for the history books as Martha Tyson or will report to put away the harsh rhetoric Florida temperature see each other again listen to each other again all only President-elect Joe Biden all that off. I think the vast majority of people in this country really don't want to think about politics 114% of the time. For now though, a look back at our fraud selection this Sunday morning.

From there it's onto one of the enduring legends of the silver screen. She Sophia Loren, and shall be talking with our sandstone. The word legend may be overused but with Sophia Loren it's warranted this week. She's returning to the screen or some Oscar buzz around this performance is also I have already one for me. It's enough for me to my Phil. That's what I really believe Dean Laura Singh see if they come they come, come this life ran on life, family, and her definition of beauty later on Sunday morning for Saturday offers a read on the next chapter for a landmark bookstore very Peterson tells us about a new technology that's a huge step forward for amputees Lee Cowan samples of top shelf bourbon class Steve Hartman, Jim Gaffigan, and more all on this Sunday morning 8 November 2020 will be back after this winter is Joe Biden. What a long, long journey down the campaign trail. It's been our cover story is reported by Martha Tyson who seeks not to the bar unify is to stop treating your opponents as our enemies. They are not already raise their after a while waiting President-elect Joe Biden delivered his victory speech last night in Wilmington, Delaware. This is the time is a major fraud in relation Pres. Trump has not called to congratulate Biden he has not conceded defeat. He continues to cry foul, but ultimately have a feeling judges are good after rule. What we don't know, CBS News has learned the president vows to keep fighting the results in court and will not concede is whether a litigious resident unwilling to go down without a fight will get his ultimate wish, so will be going to the US Supreme Court. What we do know is what we saw for ourselves. This will be the most important election in the history of our country. This is the most important election of our lifetimes. The candidates framing the stakes in this election.

Never mind the threat of coronavirus we saw long lines at polling places ballots cast in numbers demonstrating how intensely Republicans and Democrats both believe that the course of our democracy was indeed on the line. Voter participation was the highest in more than a century and the outcome was extraordinary. But this election is despite a pandemic Great Depression levels of unemployment, huge turmoil and impeachment before the you have ended up seeing partisan divide as deep as rooted as ever journalist forensic aria is the author of 10 lessons for a post-pandemic world someways the pandemic has been a great review in others. It's been an accelerator what the pandemic has revealed, perhaps more than anything else. Is it we are really two countries, so no real movement across the ideological divide.

Think World War I trench warfare advances and retreats measured in feet stalemate, but a war just the same. When have you ever seen plywood.

Just think about that for a second after an election day, New York's Times Square boarded up and unscalable wall around Donald Trump's White House armed protesters describe an emotion he felt this past week anxiety, fear of what might happen, you know 50 years ago when I moved to the US from Lebanon. I never thought I would be concerned about violence, conflict, and even Blodgett in this in this country prior barley on heads the conflict resolution program at the Carter Center in Atlanta which is monitored more than 100 elections worldwide requesting around the world is far, far more violent Bilotti and destructive conflict, and the Civil War were not there were not there but nonetheless that is not to say we should not be considered. I think Americans should be worried about the fabric of our society really fracturing. We have crossed that line.

It hasn't fractured yet but were not too far from that line either. This is the United States that can't happen here. Couldn't hypothetically yes back to his ring out yesterday morning at 1036 Washington time. Donald Trump en route from the White House to his Virginia golf course tweeted his projects that Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States within an hour news organizations, yes, called the election, Joe Biden, Lynn Harris in the United States nationals across the United States not celebrating the roughly 70 voted for Pres. How many of them no longer trust the legitimacy of the sentence such as this man in Georgia. It almost seem like they're waiting to see how many votes Trump had and then they would tell the rest to make sure Bob had just what is the long-term cost to our democracy lines to help all workers are further for me as though this printer. David is an American began here all, how likely is it, Joe Biden will convince nearly half the electorate that he is there president to retrain our presence is not a matter for better. This is really hard, hardest things we've had to do as a republic wishes to tone things down longtime political commentator Joe Klein job number one. Probably for Joe Biden. It looks like but also further for the Congress and the courts and for us as citizens is to figure out ways to reach out to each other and start conversations and what are the chances of that happening or they deserve a minimum wage of $15 last big corporations the super wealthy.

Just begin to start to pay their fair share. The issues Biden campaigned on actually getting past unless the Democrats conflict the Senate likely only if they win both Georgia's runoff votes in January, President-elect Biden's agenda will hit a formidable red wall there by the name of Mitch McConnell, you know, the same Mitch McConnell who set out to make Barack Obama a one term president.

The same Mitch McConnell who sabotaged Obama Supreme Court pick Eric Garland Philadelphia elections are crooked as a stake. They are setting the stage to potentially steal election for the moment the GOP still sound like a party of Trump but I don't think you can underestimate the incredible power that a president has an setting style for the country. Just look at what Donald Trump has done. I think that if you have a different president setting the tone. There are things that are going to change the dozens and dozens of executive orders and regulatory rollbacks. Pres. Trump signed into effect with the stroke of his pen. Joe Biden plans to start undoing them on day one. January 20 start praying your fair share is expected to reengage with the world, albeit a where your world has seen that there is this this backlash in America to its engagement in the world.

And so it won't be able to forget. You know Joe Biden can demonstrate that there are two Americas and one doesn't want to be engaged. He can move aggressively in the and and intelligently. But it won't change the fact that people have seen that other that other America, and they know it's it's lying there may be dormant for for now, but it could rear its head again watching America trying to read Joe Biden, Harris after their historic tree where only bar Biden one with more votes. 74 million and counting than any American president ever be the first woman in this office. I will not be the last Harris will be the first woman the first person of African-American and Asian descent and the first child of immigrants to be elected VP every little girl watching tonight.

See that as a country of possibilities to put away the harsh rhetoric temperature see each other again listen to each other again to make progress take away from this messy, sometimes ugly healthy we are and where we are so good news. According to noted Harvard University historian Danielle author of an award-winning book about the Declaration of Independence and expression of disagreement with the other side against the other side but it's about not a pitchfork. That's the important point is the choice to use a boat to express that this agreement, which is the commitment the plastic part, the peaceful resolution of conflict dutiful thing, but a lot between now and Inauguration Day. The next chapter of a beloved bookstore is being written by thousands of loyal customers caliphate Saturday has the fine print. Would you like to see her most expensive book give a layaway plan. This copy of Ulysses signed by both author James Joyce and illustrator Henri Matisse can be yours for $45,000 ones and from 1935. So it's almost as old as this bookshop almost yes at 93 years old. The street is a New York institution for floors of books chosen by staff members who have to pass a literary test before being hired. But it's also a family tradition. My grandpa was a real man as with my dad. My dad had a very good business that Nancy Bass why is the third-generation owner of the store in Greenwich Village. But the book trade has never been easy. How cutthroat was back that while there was one store called the cheapest bookstore in the world so still the strand endured through the Great Depression and World War II 9/11 even Amazon. We were fine again, but the scope it is really knock their socks off.

That's true for stores all over the country. But for some independent bookshops there's a secret weapon, a community of readers that wants them to survive we open the door.

Based upon our experience raising our children in St. Louis, Missouri. Jeffrey and Pamela Blair created. I see an African-American children's bookstore five years ago, representation matters, and having my children see themselves in the books that they read really help them become self-motivated about learning extremely well from school and then we continue to see the benefits shop opened amid protests over the police shooting of a local 18-year-old Michael Brown. Suddenly everyone wanted what I see me with Sally.

People are not African-American they want to expose themselves and their children to know more about African cultures also need to see more representation of people to dispel stereotypes and things like that but in April during the pandemic store began to struggle in an effort to hold on. Blair started to go fund me campaign is not honestly what was going on with us without a moment when you had to swallow some pride hundred percent felt like it was a last resort before we pressed buttons like I would want to do this and what was the reaction like when you put up this plea on go fund me. We reached our goal within a week, 25,000 committee really showed up there so many institutions that are closing or closed-end. This is one place that I cannot imagine your without two weeks ago. The strand posted a plea for help in the whole world responded in 48 hours we received 25,000 Internet orders down a typical day will receive 300 Internet orders by then I had already furloughed most of the strands 216 employee even though she owns the building and got a loan from the government's cares act by this fall. The losses were mounting asking a business to sustain eight months of sales at a 30% level is you can't. It's a marathon and how many people are working here now we have 79 people and we are quickly rehiring. This was going to to Switzerland as well. Rehiring can't come soon enough for shipping clerk like lose edema faces a crush of orders each day more positive, more job, more friends, more coworkers to come back and everybody stores counting on more than books to keep customers interested including magnets, facemasks and totes all designed to appeal to holiday shoppers so the holiday bump is really important for the shop.

It's essential. It's essential for us in all stores in both IC means Jeffrey Blair in the strands Nancy Bass widen hope their season of good tidings continues and spreads what you know about running a bookstore. Now that you didn't know a year ago. How wonderful the strand community is and I just treasure them even more than ever the Lorenz performance into women earn her an Academy award and a place among the legends of the movies now after a long absence.

She's back on the screen in a new film that's all in the family or family yourself down in weird spans 70 years performance stands out okay the life ahead this week on Netflix. Sophia Lorenz your film in a decade and watching her on screen is like catching up with someone you haven't seen in a while were all just a bit older time for me to start again at my age at which I'm not going to tell you that it's fun. It's fun, it's wonderful since it's public knowledge will divulge Sophia Loren is now 86 and 98 we to another state. Should I be afraid, and I look wonderful for my age. Anyway, I was right.

Throughout her career. She's played decidedly unglamorous roles. I latest Mdm. Rose. It is a former prostitute cares for the kids of other sex workers. She lives on the margins of Italian society, much like Lorren did growing up in poverty with an unmarried single mom in a suburb of Naples. That's why I made the film she reminded me a lot about my mother. My mother was absolutely like that inside she was very fragile, but strong family connections. Do not stop there. The films director is in Puerto ponte, her son who's the boss onset a protests not just pointing me to speak and if that is a lot. Eduardo is the younger of two sons, Lorren had with her late husband, Carlo ponte, the movie producer who first discovered her as a teenager in Rome beauty pageant. This is the third time, mother and son have teamed up you always have your mom in mind for this role. I wish I don't think that anybody could have inhabited the role of the character of meta-rows of the way that she did quite a resource to have in the family. If my mother happens to be such an amazing actress and I happen to be a director.

I would be an idiot if I did not cast my mother and my movies this story chronicles the unlikely friendship between a Holocaust survivor and a 12-year-old Muslim immigrant from Senegal. Momo played by E.

Brahim Aguayo is first acting role, school it was really like somebody that is always been in this thing. He was born.

I think that's no small complement from Laurent Wells played opposite the likes of Clark Gable life. Paul Newman delivered Marlon Brando, and Cary Grant.

You wouldn't do anything to embarrass, did you second-guess it all.

Putting this come completely untested actor next to your mom and these leading roles saying God I didn't decide to make sure that he felt comfortable with my mother.

We all actually drink the shooting live together under the same roof so he could see her the way that I see her from so even MO would get up in the morning and Sophia Loren would be in the kitchen thing before all maker yes because it was the only way to create the right ball for them to know each other.he was away for the young actor to see Lorren as an Italian mom not a movie star.

We glimpsed that too had coronavirus precautions not kept our interview virtual Lorren at home in Switzerland, said she would've welcomed us and pasta that you know that evil rent was the first to win it best actress Oscar in a foreign language film in 1961's two women for decades. She's dazzled audiences with her talent, but much as been made. Beauty for someone who has been such an icon of beauty. How is your definition of unity changed or has it is important yet. Maybe there was a buddies what you had to be inside of yourself.

So you're everything we believe things the way you are with your family the way you are your friends. That's life really that's a good life.

The rented taking a nearly decade-long break from acting to dedicate time to work, family, until the right part the right director came along.

How is it to work with your son all good. Not good at all and that because he knows me so well. He always knows how to push the right button for me to be able to react and do what everything he says should be done.

My mother approaches every movie like it was her first and part of her process is oh my God I can't and part of my processes. Of course you can. She really doubt yourself every day and retake every moment and it's beautiful because she still approaches in the same anxiety the same spontaneity the same passion as if it was her first film. Do you agree with them. I know life that is in the film is already generating Oscar but passionate about its messages of tolerance and the value of nontraditional families side sending their lives to the fullest, then anything is possible.

It must be quite something to be able to come together and make a creative product with someone you love and then put it out there in the world sees it's good for my soul. How because it aligns everything that I love my work. My mother telling stories. It aligns everything that I have a good son son and I have a good mother, good mother of his take-out with preacher Gary this week Stephen Landau live Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to Senate races where you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia.

But even the because prolonged sitting twist of the Lord, you have pain from the socket bigger circumference than mine. My other leg.

It's crazy different it feels like a part of me for the first moment since she lost her leg. Something to celebrate its wish. I don't have words knowing enough. We caught up with four months after the surgery. After the leg had become known close to the point were just I hope so. The main thing for me is moving my I forget to do that and I'll start walking like that. Not just walking Donna granddaughter stop or to break into the essay. Nobody enjoyed a more special Halloween than the little girl Steve Hartman.

Once you meet a search for the end of this anxious week led me to this humble bundle. Zoe now three is the proud product of TJ and Courtney Thomas of Atlanta, Georgia hello cameo back in February. So it was diagnosed with leukemia because her immune system is compromised. She couldn't go trick-or-treating last weekend with all the other kids. In fact, her parents even had to put up a sign to keep others away. Sorry, no candy child with cancer. Sorry never expected anything never expected those little ghosts and ghouls to be such saints immediately started crying there at the foot of the sign trick-or-treaters left their Halloween candy for the child inside doorbell camera footage shows kid after kid making the same character defining decision mostly on their own, no grown-ups, rather telling you what to do.

We trekked out a few of the Angels bag. I wanted to give back to somebody's little girl.

The empathy we heard and saw. Courtney says it was just the medicine.

Her family needed during cranking thing going on there and just remind still log in much better than the ones we obsess over once again, we returned to the week that was an thoughts from our Jim Gaffigan well is over you survive. Can you believe that's right. Daylight savings is finally over cursor about the election. Wow, that was an emotionally taxing experience for all of us this right now is trending to be the most diverse electorate ever get okay went on no sleep, still wearing the same clothes you had on yesterday and made that yellow dress, publisher winning 76% of I think Steve Carnegie broke his hand using that giant iPad screen just pressed following only two years. Obviously, the election is not officially over, but it's almost over.

While it's over for me after hyperventilating for four days on Friday morning I woke up allowed myself to brief and then slept for 20 hours straight. This year's election was a painstaking labor marathon welcome to RCS's election headquarters as accounting continues across the country Joe Biden means present in the electoral vote welcome once again to our special coverage, but it had to be this year is 2020 expected to be anything but anxiety felt after all 2020 is the year that made antidepressants more important than water.

Thankfully soon. This year will be over before we know it it'll be December, December, that's a fun month.

There's no stress associated with December no no no address for any verse filled with major brands, at least one small family liquor business is thriving.

Lee Cowan serves up proof positive, Kentucky's limestone it's too good not to be used in, which may be why there are two barrels of bourbon for every person the election. Some of them are likely empty, but there is one tale about 10 less about whiskey and more about family time not enough.

This is the home of the Van Winkle unassuming family were is private as they come name wasn't on the bottle never know they craft some of the most coveted bourbon in the world Event Winkle. The first thing I do. It had some but it didn't taste don't have your personal word but it felt like if I poured over spoon coat. That's right, Tom's senior writer for ESPN who like the sports heroes, who usually writes about the elusive Pappy was worth a book get the sense that the bourbon is almost an arsenal byproduct of these people just living their lives and maybe that's why people go so crazy for think you think you know yourself pretty well till someone else start writing about the event. Winkle secret is Julian Van Winkle first will not select bed pressed spent nearly a lifetime as his dad able apprentice I was younger than the whiskey I was selling when I started working at Augusta. Julian started young to fixing leaky barrels for his dad who learn the craft from his death. Pappy himself, that is probably the rarest bottle in their Pappy is so story. Yes, his own exhibit at the Fraser history Museum in Louisville. It was just right over.

It was very dapper with a little vest on smoking cigars very unique in visual real sales.

His sister says Julian has Pappy made over see that Pappy used wheat instead of rock in his bourbon recipe which gave it a smoother sweeter taste his bow is still bolted to the distillery cofounded on Derby day in 1935 we make fine bourbon reads at a profit. If we can at a loss. If we must always find bourbon. It's what my father and grandfather were always doing was selling age bourbon whiskey really good by the 60s the finest bourbons had gone out of favor. They were dinosaurs with a cork. It was like an old man's drink. My grandfather used to bring bourbon, but with her own drink that stuff for those deals last time you had burned Kentucky Tavern Colin difference between this and that is racial and yet they are Pappy set I want Julian's dad reluctantly sold the family distillery in 1972 for think he ever got over selling now think so pretty much did Amanda think in the end Life brought home every night. It was, he died of prostate cancer just a few years later, Philip pressure to carry on the business or was it a desire that was the only thing I knew how to do to earn a living. Basically so he started over from scratch really with a beat up truck and a forlorn distillery.

He bought a 1981 he set about doing something old. Even while the beverage world had moved on to something new that everything about given up no bleeding.

Realize what was happening all at time needed me there.

Honestly, he just knew how to work hard, Julian*Carrie Chennault fixing staff and rolling barrels, with a bleeding head or a sprained ankle and had driven him with a bag of ice in the gas station. I think all. No one paid Pappy much, my until 1997 when the beverage testing Institute in Chicago got its hands on Pappy David and 99/100, the highest rating ever give whiskey ever since Pappy has become one of the most sought-after and expensive bourbons. Anyway, many camped out to the predawn darkness. It's so rare that it's a news event when a few bottles of Pappy are released I feel like I got to go to to get some stores have even resorted to using a lottery to decide who gets to buy even one bottle home uniforms and supposedly there out there but always in tend to make less than you could so smart it would be nice to have more and were making more of the demand keeps going up. So I don't think we'll ever get there. No one knows when bourbon goes into a barrel if it'll make the trip. If angels will drink more than their fair share evaporates over the decades. Every now and again. You'll see the word empty shed is left just a family's love cared for risk right Thompson discovered writing his book the real spirit Pappy Mary holds price or frankly even its taste. The bottle is all about those who've gone before us when you get it now. What is a son and a grandson memory work. I find that really powerful. This really is about bourbon all they really it's a lot about what we owe our families and how we can pass the best. I'm Jane Cawley. Please join us when our trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning.
