Only this year, millions of ordinarily hard-working Americans aren't enjoying the weekend at all their unemployed paying the price for some long-term economic trends that covert, 19 has only made worse. Correspondent Jill's lessons are will report our cover story coronavirus has put millions of people out of work and with millions more without even enough to eat. Meanwhile, billionaires, bank accounts grow fatter pandemic has only laid bare inequities that have existed in our country for a long time now the question is what we do right over 19 infects the debate over wealth and income inequality ahead on Sunday morning Paris Hilton is a celebrity whose name is known around the globe. But the real person.

The woman behind the name has been largely from view until now. She'll talk with Tracy Smith. Just when you thought he heard all there was to hear about Paris Hilton makes a movie about a time in her life. She says was too dark even tell her parents about why not tell them when you got out. I didn't think they would believe me because even talking about it now, and hearing myself talk about it sounds impossible to believe Paris Hilton finds her voice later on Sunday morning, Lee Cowan drops in on legendary baseball announcer Vince Scully. Leslie Stahl is in conversation with Netflix cofounder Reed Hastings David Martin talks with former FBI Special Agent Peter Strauch Jim Axelrod puzzles over the challenge of smiling while wearing a mask and more.

It's Sunday morning September 6, 2020 and will be back in a moment. Millions of Americans through no fault of their own are paying the price.

This Labor Day holiday for America's worsening economic inequality hears Jill solicitor Caldwell before the pandemic struck the Caldwell family of Kansas City was just making ends meet.

Derek was working as an electrician. Tiana was training office workers. Ajay was looking forward to playing football after school. If you go back to beginning of March were you busy. Was it slow what was going on for you is my you might say covert, 19 infected the family's finances, their jobs dried up, exposing a stark reality.

They had no safety net we save any money before the pandemic paycheck right yeah even before the coronavirus nearly 4/10 American adults said they would had difficulty covering a $400 unexpected expense from friends the Caldwell's also got help from KC tenants Kansas City housing rights organization founded by Tyra Rogge fair, the pandemic has only laid bare inequities that have existed in our country for a long time. It's nothing new.

Last year, the Census Bureau found income inequality was at its highest level in 50 years.

Consider this two thirds of the total wealth in this country is owned by the richest 5%. At the same time more than 38 million Americans are living in poverty and it's projected that 54 million people might not have enough to eat. This year we have an apology with all 3 Main St., but that's really never been economic inequality is the subject of a new documentary based on the surprise bestseller by French economist Thomas P getting surveyed centuries of economic upheaval century money matters money policy is you need to change the ritual sustainable more than 29 million people are now collecting unemployment benefits while at the top end of the economic ladder in the first three months of the pandemic. The net worth of the more than 600 billionaires in the US grew by 20%. Jeff Baeza is the owner of Amazon, so his net worth increased by $43.8 billion in the first months of the pandemic. Those who have the least advantages, the least economic opportunities are going to bear the largest burden of any kind downturn, whether it be an economic downturn or whether it be a public health crisis. Valerie Wilson is a director at the liberal economic policy Institute. Wilson sees not only an economic divide, but a racial divide.

Covert, 19 has magnify these racial disparities that we have known about for decades because of the persistence of many of these disparities we can almost predict how any crisis is going to go. For example, black households have just 10% of the net worth of white households for Hispanic households. The figure is just 12%. The combination of COBIT 19 and and it being such a universal problem not only in this country, but around the world has really challenged us to sort of question the idea of whether or not we really are all in this together, but not everyone sees income and wealth disparity as negative trends today. Capitalism is just trying to maximize, optimize, grow, everything is possible that some people get rich. Edward Conard, a former partner at Bain capital and a scholar at the conservative American enterprise Institute has written about the upside of inequality.

Conard argues for giving entrepreneurs incentives to create the next Google or Apple or Amazon looking to free markets to help boost incomes or lower wage workers. The more prosperous economy Richard the bottom 20% in there almost exclusively on government redistribution for the word from increasing the overall prosperity in the best measure that is not just basal salary Valerie Wilson isn't buying it. This country we have this idea about the American dream about the virtues of capitalism that if you work hard, put in your time you get an education you take risk and you're able to climb the economic ladder.

But I think it's it's clear that we always get this billionaire superclass that those opportunities are not so evenly distributed and in fact the economic gains that we all contribute to our increasingly being shared by only a few so will the coronavirus change. Our economic path, speak and he believes it could go either way.

Do you believe that the pandemic presents an opportunity here to see from the story is something this is just called the craziest residuals as as Kovic 19 continues to rage across the country. The initial $2.2 trillion in government stimulus money has run out and Congress and the White House don't appear close to agreeing on a more substantial deal. Also of concern to tar Rogge fair, the patchwork of federal and state moratoriums on evictions won't be enough to keep renters from sliding into homelessness. Many people got sick and died because of insecure housing situations that number will only grow over time as people faced eviction and it's inexcusable.

We live in the richest country in the history of the world. We can and we must guarantee that everyone has a home. I know won't happen overnight, but where can we go from here that could happen overnight, and leucine with what the government has done around the stimulus when we need to print $1 trillion and get it out to people in their bank accounts. We can do it that actually given me a lot of hope. Caldwell also has hope that someday when we say were all in this together will mean it. We should be helping each other right if one of us is not okay okay. As always, we thank you for watching Sunday morning, but it's what you watch the rest of the time that's on the mind of Reed Hastings, Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes chats with the man behind Netflix.

The New York Times once described the Netflix lobby is the hottest see and be seen spot in Hollywood. That was last year.

This is now full of people to your daughter now Reed Hastings, the cofounder and co-CEO of Netflix showed us the video wall promoting new Netflix shows surrounded by lots and lots of empty chairs. We will always be pumping. I know why you're so optimistic. I know because like toilet paper and Lysol your one of the few companies who has really thrived in this pandemic. People love entertainment. Whether that's wartime and peacetime Cove good you're avoiding my question, which is that you're doing extremely well. Your subscription numbers have what we are off to a faster start growth than any year in our history, roughly from 160 million 290 million. So a lot of internationally to all around the world. Covert, unfortunately, is everywhere and luckily Netflix is to the global growth of Netflix has been exponential over the last few years. Now the services available in 190 countries and its financial growth has been a while. Also, when the company went public in 2000 to the stock price was $15 a share during the pandemic. Netflix has been trading around $500 you spend chasing a big audience. Hastings co-CEO Ted Sorrento's joined us up on the roof socially distant.

You created this monster bench watching is so addictive it's changed our habits change our sleeping habits. We don't read more just one more what CBS's much people say it's ruined their sex life. I did a story on Netflix thousand six page ago. All DVD all DVD you have those little red envelopes flying around the one of the things you told us you realize that you were not CEO material. Are you CEO material now beginning to trying to do you think it's kind of humorous that a guy who says he was a good CEO is written a book about how to manage a company.

The book is called no rules.

Rules and it spells out a highly unorthodox management style that gives Netflix employees an unusual amount of freedom and responsibility, offering unlimited vacation time and paying top of the market salaries but in exchange, what's the keeper test though say that though because everything is sunny and wonderful. It's tough.

We run like a professional sports team for trying to get the best players on the field at all times someone was leaving to go to another company would we work really hard to keep them at Netflix and if so then they pass the keeper test and if not, give them a very generous severance package we let them go. Sometimes I don't want to go but the keeper test says it's not worth keeping them and therefore you have a reputation this company of being ruthless. Some people call it the hunger games company shows only 2400 and said all this is a total quad should but you're going to win the World Cup of entertainment. You gotta have the best players on the field at all times is a question it's a tough place is no question it's not for everyone in the tough Netflix way. Honesty is the best policy. No matter what you say instituted this idea of radical candor because of marriage counseling that you want long time ago that we were married the 20 years, but early in our marriage. With this great marriage counselor and he got me to see that I was just lying a lot of the same conventional things like families most important thing that I would stay at work late, you know.

And so it helps so much for him to really show me that I wasn't being that honest and you know it helped to live more in balance water live 360s the live 360 is will typically have a dinner or lunch and then everybody just goes around and gives each other feedback how they could be more effective professional. So do you get back or criticism you all the time being too glib and not really listening.

Rogge critiqued about being too positive in Pollyanna should not really seeing the problems or lots of things in your there's always grains of truth in his book Hastings reports on what was said about him in one of those sessions. This one said, but you're too aggressive you're overconfident and you're too dismissive when other people have ideas that you recognize yourself yes and again I tried a mitigated and then you know you can't really change your nature Ted Sorrento's joined Netflix over 20 years ago.

He says Hastings vision is what sold them on the company, Reed described Netflix in 1999 was exactly like it is right now and why that seems insane was at the time the Internet was so slow and so expensive that it just seemed incomprehensible. If someone emailed you a video that would take days for the over the watch and talk so crystal clear about where this was heading and I was just mind blowing. I don't not sure that I thought he was right, but he with his sense of clarity about it was just incredible Netflix all the DVDs want Hastings guided Netflix through four major shifts from renting DVDs, streaming, other shows to producing its own shows going global this year, Netflix more Oscar and Emmy nominations than any other studio and that's in March.

Thanks to some random my job was to pick everything that's on the flex. He picked nearly 400 shows last year and every one of them be at the crown royal cousin Tiger started with the pitch probably hear about 100 day hundred pictures in this film series television global documentaries. The first pitch Sorrento's heard the first show Netflix produced itself. In 2013 was house of cards you even wanted house of cards. What did you see their Shakespearean. It was about greed, power, and Saxon make use of all of the television is visual so no way of suggesting a sizable passive aggressive aggressive house of cards start Kevin Spacey and Robert Wright. So what did you have to do to get them to sign on Ted's charm and huge checkbook combination how huge checkbook will Sorrento's paid hundred million dollars for the first two seasons of house of cards.

Netflix is notorious for buying its way to the top. So, did you ever see the Saturday Night Live skit throwing money out there in your buying this show is about a girl named Jenny Netflix agreement with and governed by the enormous content spent $15 billion on programming last year but across the world is not so much to paying some stars, $30 million $40 million will you know the pressure on the other student us to match what you've done with intent how much is will Smith getting these days are you million 50 million, variety reported that Netflix will likely pay Will Smith $35 million to star in the sequel to the Netflix film right this summer, Netflix moved $100 million of its assets into black owned banks Hastings and his wife gave 120 million of their own money to historically black colleges and universities Hastings whose worth is estimated at $5 billion pledge to give away the majority of his wealth to worthy causes. So Ted is your chief in charge of content then you make him co-CEO people are wondering whether this is your first step out the door will eventually but you know virtually Rogge to die they going to drag you out by your feet progress and start crazy time is the point is, when there are bad people in the best way to protect good people is to convict final season Millstream Special Agent Peter Strock was fired over text messages critical of Pres. from now. He's writing about his controversial role in the rush investigation and answering questions from national security correspondent David Martin.

Nobody had any joy nobody was seeking to try to open the case structures the FBI agent who started it all.

Opening the investigation into Donald Trump's campaign three months before the 2016 presidential election likes the official document sitting right side of the inspired by Mick Jagger of all people cold during the investigation. Crossfire heard that clash and one of the lyrics are kind of swaggering thing. I was born in a crossword Atty. Gen. William bore his should crossfire hurricane was based on the very things she wondered re-is Google compromised stroke describes exactly what that Reid was topless at the thought was a very young foreign policy advisor to in May 2016, just a stroke was emerging as the unlikely Republican front-runner you everybody.

Papadopoulos was in London having drinks with some Australian diplomats offer.

That said, the Russians that material everything Quentin and to Obama and offered to coordinate the release of that information with the Australians didn't make much of it until Trump made this appeal about Hillary Clinton's email Russia. If you listening. I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing those Australian diplomats heard the contract to give the when they saw that statement by Trump that trigger the memory of a conversation with Papadopoulos don't talk with his own words investigation down on himself accordingly. Foreign government: assess the theory of the case open Russia offered to assist electing someone to be president of the states from an intelligence perspective.

I can't think of anything more significant structured unified for suspects in the Trump care. Papadopoulos garbage Paul Manna Ford and Michael Flynn based on their contacts with Russian officials that a retired lieutenant general who would become president Trump's first national security advisor seated next to Vladimir Putin another 2015 dinner in Moscow, but the FPR turned up nothing incriminating on your editor closure investigation of where we were phone calls and contact with before the Trump administration had assumed power. Flynn called ambassadors sure do to withhold. I think what makes a problem is when you look at the content and nature of the things that Flynn tells investors not to retaliate for Obama administration sanctions against Russia conversation in which Flynn potentially interfered with Obama's foreign policy was recorded by US intelligence.

So instead of closing the case stroke shut down. The question Flynn.

The strangest thing happened. It was very clear that he wasn't telling the truth, and we repeatedly tried to get him to buy using it often phrases the exact things he said with a bathroom conversation is a former head of the Defense intelligence agency, Flynn knew his conversations with the Russian ambassador would be monitored source of them to select new but is still the sounds of the old Washington store cover-up is worse than so to this day I don't think we yet know the true story of what was behind the Flynn statements Flynn pled guilty to long but now the Justice Department is moved to dismiss the charges because Atty. Gen. Bartels, CBS News, the FBI kept the case open just so struck. Try to catch Flynn in the law and they kept it open for the express purpose of trying to catch away like a perjury trap for general Flynn's case pales next to that of another struck suspect Paul Manna for service. Trump's campaign chairman, according to a new report by the Senate select committee on intelligence better for it was a grave counterintelligence threat sought to secretly share with the Russian intelligence officer sensitive campaign polling data center poles. Is there whoever they want to do if you're giving that to somebody who's passing it to a foreign adversary who is targeting our election house that possibly look is a crime whether or not it's a crime to me. It's unequivocally unpatriotic all the time in a Ford was convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud struck was no longer on the case you been fired by special counsel Robert Moore for sending anti-Trump text messages to FBI lawyer Lisa page, with whom he was having an affair. July 21, 2016 summer before the election. Trump is a disaster and then one week later you open that crossfire hurricane investigation just looks like you saw a way to stop Velcro from becoming frozen. I can understand why some people might think that within nothing to do with each other. One week after stroke open the investigation. Lisa page texted him Trump's not ever going to become president right right struck with blood.

No no is not will stop. So why shouldn't suspect you using the investigation as a tool to take in the what I point them to all the investigations that have been done that have conclusively prove that didn't occur.

The Justice Department inspector general found no evidence that political buyers influence the opening of crossfire hurricane, but it did fund serious performance failures in the investigation of another struck suspect campaign advisor Carter page, who was never charged with any crime is sloppy work for FBI agents trying to hard to get something on the I don't think it all that it's anything improper you get people who are overworked, who make mistakes and don't get me wrong is 16 Atty. Gen. bar disagree.

The evidence shows that were not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness something far more troubling here to get to the bottom of one FBI lawyer Kevin Kleinsmith is already pled guilty to falsifying a document US Attorney John Gorham is conducting a full investigation into the conduct of crossfire hurricane which will include a re-examination obstruction every move you write that right that's her expression engaging in hyperbole remains granted you might say compromised by his text message.

The president has accused stroke of treason lambasted him on Twitter and even ended his famous Helsinki press conference with Vladimir like this and if anybody watch Peter Strauch testified it was a disgrace to the FBI. It was a disgrace to our country feel horrible. Angers you, it scares you. That doesn't stop him from putting one of the presidents tweets Peter Strauch is a fraud on the cover of his book notes can put you back across her desk. This is a threat that we have not based in our modern history. What Rush is doing what they did in 2016 to attack our election to help trump what they're doing now to do the very same thing something every American ought to be thinking about and consider you probably know the name of the person behind the name. Maybe not so much as Tracy Smith tells us prepare to be surprised by now you probably think you've seen everything from and about Paris Hilton you know the socialite who made a career out of being a dumb blonde reality TV star famous for being famous Barbie doll voice nothing to say.

Persona. She now says all and all what you think the differences between that character that you created in the real Paris there are so many differences with the character. It's mostly cannabis blonde. I believe Barbieri had and in real life.

I'm the exact opposite. I'm not a dumb blonde. I'm just very pretending to be one you actually knew what Walmart was yes exactly, this is the family home. My parents home and these days she's talking about a new film describes a time in her life that she says was too painful to bring up until now I feel like my parents were scared and they didn't want their reputations to be ruined.

I wonder if some people are going to say. With all that's going on in the world do you worry that people say oh, come on with everything that's happening.

I really care about Paris Hilton. I think when people see the thumb completely different side to see. I am human feelings and understanding a lot more another's so much more than even Paris Hilton heiress to the storied Hilton hotel legacy was born to wealthy but working parents Richard and Kathy. She says they were strict no makeup or dates aloud, but as a team. Paris had a wild streak so wild that back in the 90s. Mom and dad sent her to a series of behavior modification schools. How did your parents get to the point where they thought that that was the answer were you doing I was really doing anything. I just moved from LA to New York, and that's why my life changed and basically I was sneaking out, going to clubs and not going to school and ditching class and that's what my parents thought it was time for vehicle and so in 1998 and 17-year-old Harris wound up at the Provo Canyon school in Utah a place for treatment of young people with mental and behavioral challenges getting out of there but in her film, this is Paris. She describes the place is more of a prison camp with solitary confinement and physical abuse so they made an example of you and they would choke you and hit you. Yes I know so weird to think now buried this for so long with my emotions so now to think about it. What happened so weird for me to even like how is this really real. We reached out to Provo Canyon in a statement. They said, in part, that Provo Canyon school was sold by its previous ownership in August 2000 and they therefore cannot comment on the operations or patient experience. Prior to this time and also that they do not condone or promote any form of abuse. Harris says she never told her family about her experience there but suffered nightmares for years afterward, she would say things to me after like I still have nightmares.

I still in the middle of my night. I feel like you know she would say that and I always take what people say with a grain of salt, like I think it did bother was it was our way of saving you. Why not tell them when you got out when I got out I was just so grateful and so happy to be free. I just want to bring up like I'd rather you just never talk about this. Just don't think about it, and from the moment I stepped out of that building is when I decided I'm never telling the story to anyone ever thought you never tell I didn't think they would believe me because even hearing myself talk about it just sounds impossible to believe. After she left the school.

Paris Hilton says she tried her best to forget she was a fixture at every high profile event. She got famous for all the wrong reasons. Like a 2003 sex tape scandal and made headlines. The sex tape happened after the school their connection there that would never have happened at school. You don't think the sex just feel what I got out of that school.

I was so lost and then ended up meeting the person who did not use. I never would've let someone like that in my life I had went through such experiences.

Therefore, I would never put myself in that situation, but I just wanted love so bad I didn't really know. I was so naïve and I trust the wrong person. Not something I'll regret for the rest of my life, but what she's been through.

Maybe because it seems Harris is having the last laugh. She founded her own fashion and merchandise Empire and is reportedly worth about $300 million portion built on self-promotion. You're like the patron saint of the selfie culture really yeah so do you feel pride both so much of her life on camera think they know her but at 39 Paris Hilton says she finally knows herself. You said you feel like you've been a kid for so long in what sense. Explain that to me. I've always been a kid at heart's never really wanted to go… How I was for so long. Maybe because I didn't really get to have a child but now I knows when you're smiling the whole world smiles with you to make those words true in these coven times is the challenge are Jim Axelrod takes on I had to run to the grocery store the other day to pick up a couple of things. Watching the cashier behind her protective plastic partition ringing up my loaf of bread and a couple bottles of seltzer was hit with the surge of gratitude know she wasn't a doctor or nurse in a covert word which was certainly exposing yourself to a lot more risk every day than I do. I wanted to express my thanks and make sure she knew how deeply I appreciated her essential service so I locked eyes with her and smiled the warmest widest smile I could muster. She looked at me blankly and didn't say a word. It was almost as if she hadn't seen my smile at all. I was leaving the store when it hit me.

Of course she hadn't seen my smile my mess concealed my gratitude for the rest of the day with every interaction I had with someone I didn't know gas station attendant the kid behind the takeout counter. I made sure to tell how thankful I was. My words replacing the smiles they couldn't see, but still, something was missing.

Smiles for the grease for interpersonal communications are most efficient way to signal warmth, safety, empathy, compassion, or the grocery store gratitude are nonverbal supplement to expand the limits of what words alone can express. Studies have shown smiles are actually contagious, they lift the mood of both the source and the target of the smile and alcove it has robbed us of this critically important tool we use to connect with each other. We been said before, is a country living without smiles for a time in the aftermath of assassinations, terror attacks, school shootings, but this is different wearing masks is a structural change in the way we live. Coven has literally wiped the smiles from her face, so keep this in mind as you go about your business.

For now, our words are all we've got. Not just the ones we choose how we deliver from behind a mask tone and inflection are the new smiles. Forget the face-to-face world in a mask to mask world. The golden rule, people can't feel what they can't see what's all be part of the solution and find other ways to smile at each other a few loose ends to attend to these waning days of summer with good news about Alex Kunin young TV spokesman for the Shriners Hospital. We profiled last December recently recovered from his 17th surgery for an improper bone fusion in his right leg is just out of high school and starting remote classes at Northwestern University's Medill school of journalism's dream is to become a sports broadcaster.

Best of luck Alec. We also have a heartening follow-up to Lee Cowan story in July about Americans who still in this century have no regular access to since that story ran our Sunday morning viewers have donated more than $1 million to the group dignity for various water projects across the land to all those who contributed.
