00:00:30It's the weekend before Election Day, and we'll have plenty ahead this morning about the candidates and the contests and
00:00:38key issues surrounding this campaign 2026.
00:00:41After which, we move on to something otherworldly. The truth is out there, so said the hit 90s TV show
00:00:49The X-Files, about FBI agents investigating paranormal and extraterrestrial phenomena.
00:00:56The same could be said in real life today, among those of us convinced that UFOs are really alien spacecraft.
00:01:05And their voices seem to be growing ever louder. So, is the truth really out there? Luke Burbank takes us
00:01:14to alien territory.
00:01:17For years, military pilots have been seeing things they just can't explain.
00:01:22During a training mission, two F-18 Super Hornets were split by UAP. The object came within 50 feet of
00:01:27the lead aircraft.
00:01:28Now, a high-flying scientific task force is trying to finally answer the question of unidentified anomalous phenomena.
00:01:36There are some objects the U.S. government cannot figure out. I would like to figure them out.
00:01:41Ahead, on Sunday morning, is the truth really out there?
00:01:48A new film about the life of legendary actor Jimmy Stewart comes out this week.
00:01:54And as Lee Cowan will share, it shows a side of the Academy Award winner not many know.
00:02:05Portraying a Hollywood legend is certainly no easy task.
00:02:09Don't I have the right to serve my country just like anyone else does?
00:02:12Playing Jimmy Stewart in front of his family, doubtless, is even riskier.
00:02:18I thought a biopic of Dad would be so boring because he was so well-behaved, you know.
00:02:24We're all going to be in this war soon, sooner than a lot of you realize.
00:02:27The Oscar-winning everyman and his fight to fight a war, later on Sunday morning.
00:02:37Socialism. It's a loaded word, to say the least, in American politics.
00:02:41But once upon a time, in one major American city, voters elected socialist mayors for almost 40 years.
00:02:51Mo Rocca will explain why.
00:02:56The series Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley took place in mid-century Milwaukee.
00:03:02But one detail that didn't make it into the theme songs?
00:03:05Milwaukee was America's socialist capital.
00:03:09Why in Milwaukee, of all places, do voters elect a socialist government?
00:03:14Because they were the best choice. Absolutely.
00:03:17Coming up on Sunday morning, when socialists ran the show.
00:03:22On this Halloween weekend, Tracy Smith sinks her teeth into our eternal fascination with vampires.
00:03:30We'll visit an exhibit of artist Georgia O'Keeffe's work, the likes of which you've never seen before.
00:03:36Holly Williams introduces us to Larry the cat, Great Britain's first pet.
00:03:41And more, on this Sunday morning, when we fall back, ending Daylight Saving Time.
00:03:48It's November 1st, 2026.
00:03:51And we'll be right back.
00:04:07With early voting underway in most states, and Election Day coming up on Tuesday,
00:04:13we begin with David Pogue, and midterms by the numbers, and then some.
00:04:19Every four years, we get to choose our own president.
00:04:23But every two years, we have another important election,
00:04:25where we choose all 435 members of the House of Representatives,
00:04:30a third of our senators, and a whole lot of governors.
00:04:34This is a midterm elections year, our chance to steer the direction of the country.
00:04:39These are historically viewed as referenda on the job performance of a president.
00:04:46According to New Yorker politics columnist Susan Glasser,
00:04:50Tuesday's elections will be historic in a long list of ways.
00:04:55First, there's the matter of the president's steadily shrinking popularity.
00:04:59And his economic policies are killing us.
00:05:01The president is the most unpopular American president in the history of modern polling,
00:05:08going into a midterm election.
00:05:10The main reason is the price of everything.
00:05:14People are so angry.
00:05:15It's symbolizing how much money they're paying to put gas in their cars at the pump,
00:05:20or how much money they're paying for groceries.
00:05:22But it's obviously much, much broader than that.
00:05:25Jenny Ager talks like you and me on TV, but he's dancing with they-them.
00:05:29Another historic factor, the number of political ads.
00:05:33Jennifer Bolkham works for Bolkham, not you.
00:05:36This will be a record-breaking year, basically, any way you slice it.
00:05:40The amount of money that's being spent is enormous.
00:05:43Wesleyan University professor Erica Franklin Fowler studies political ads.
00:05:48This year, midterm ad spending will be over $11 billion.
00:05:54That's a record.
00:05:55Do political ads actually change anybody's mind?
00:05:58Really not all that much.
00:06:01No amount of advertising is going to change citizens' minds about the cost of goods in this type of economy.
00:06:07And I support boys and girls sports. Congratulations, Bob.
00:06:11Also historic, the rise of AI in the ads.
00:06:15Computer-generated scenes of candidates that look like real video.
00:06:19You're welcome.
00:06:20I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity.
00:06:22It's having candidates say things that they never said or do things that they never did.
00:06:27Those are particularly concerning because it's not clear to the viewer that this never happened.
00:06:33How is that legal?
00:06:34There's no federal regulation of AI in advertising, so most of it actually doesn't even carry a disclaimer.
00:06:40I mean, at this point, with days to go before the election, is any ad, is any rally going to
00:06:48change anybody's mind?
00:06:49I think that might be the irony of it all, right?
00:06:51We're seeing a lot more early voting this year, and so a lot of the advertising that's on air now
00:06:56is actually too late to make a difference.
00:06:58We see, overall, the numbers shifting toward the Democrats.
00:07:03It's not historically unusual for a president's party to lose seats in a midterm.
00:07:09Pollster Anthony Salvato conducts our CBS News polls.
00:07:13Is it the war? Is it the corruption? Is it gas prices?
00:07:16It's all of the above.
00:07:18Another big factor here, David, is the president.
00:07:21You get two-thirds of folks tell us they're either going to the polls for Congress either to support him
00:07:28or, in more cases, to oppose his policies.
00:07:32Pretend that I'm on the ballot. You've got to get out and you've got to vote.
00:07:36The president is a factor for the candidates, too.
00:07:39Most ads for Republican candidates don't even mention Trump.
00:07:42Because I'm a trucker, not a talker, and my 18-wheeler is ready to deliver.
00:07:47Sometimes they even criticize his policies.
00:07:49Canada is not our enemy.
00:07:51We need to end this tariff war now.
00:07:54So at this moment, what's the state of play for the House and what's the state of play for the
00:08:00Senate?
00:08:00In our latest CBS News House model, the Democrats were on pace for 229 seats.
00:08:06That would be a majority. It would be a historically narrow majority.
00:08:10And how about the Senate?
00:08:11At the start of the year, there weren't many folks who gave Democrats a chance to take the Senate.
00:08:17Well, what we've seen over time is that a lot of those red Republican states have, in fact, come into
00:08:23play.
00:08:24It doesn't mean the Democrats are going to win them, but they certainly look to be more competitive.
00:08:28The idea that Texas and Kansas might elect Democratic senators is definitely historic.
00:08:34The last time the Democrats won a Senate seat in Kansas was in the 1930s.
00:08:41The last time a Democrat was elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas was Lloyd Benson in 1988.
00:08:49Suppose the Democrats have both houses of Congress. Does that change anything?
00:08:54I think you would see efforts to restrain the Defense Department from spending more money, for example, on Trump's war
00:09:01with Iran.
00:09:02I think you might see very aggressive oversight and investigation hearings.
00:09:07I think you'll see them issue subpoenas.
00:09:10But Susan Glasser has more immediate concerns about what happens after the elections.
00:09:16And you'll respect the results, whatever happens?
00:09:18I will, if they're honest elections, yeah.
00:09:20Donald Trump said that he won't accept the results of any election that he personally does not think were conducted
00:09:27the way he wanted them to be.
00:09:28You think that the president might try to invalidate or interfere?
00:09:32I don't think that's a speculative question.
00:09:34Remember that Donald Trump is the only president in all of American history ever to refuse to accept his defeat
00:09:41in a legitimate election.
00:09:42One of the things that Trump and his allies might try to do is to delay or block certification of
00:09:49incoming members of the Senate in close races.
00:09:53Already, the Trump administration has ordered a criminal investigation into Alaska's Senate race,
00:09:59where Democrats are alleged to have recruited a candidate with the same name as the Republican opponent.
00:10:05It's very unfair. It's very confusing and meant to be. It's a fraud.
00:10:09But even if the riot is bumpy, the midterm elections, especially these midterm elections,
00:10:15are a critical part of the American system of government.
00:10:18I think it's absolutely a crucial midterm.
00:10:22This is what the system was built to do, to balance and to constrain and to check among the different
00:10:28branches of government.
00:10:29I think we'd be looking at very different paths for our country depending on the outcome on Tuesday night.
00:10:423, 2, 1, T-Zero
00:10:50This is the largest fireball ever produced.
00:10:53At its maximum, it measures about 3 and 1 quarter miles in diameter.
00:11:35With Luke Burbank now, we look skyward,
00:11:38And wonder, is anybody out there?
00:11:44On a May evening back in 1950,
00:11:47Evelyn Trent had just finished feeding her rabbits
00:11:50when, she claimed, she looked up
00:11:53and saw a slow-moving metallic disc-shaped object
00:11:56hovering above her farm.
00:11:58Though some dismissed it as a hoax,
00:12:01her account was added to a growing list of unexplained events
00:12:05that sparked America's first UFO craze.
00:12:12At the annual McMinniman's UFO Festival
00:12:15in McMinnville, Oregon,
00:12:17just a few miles from Evelyn Trent's farm,
00:12:20there are costumes and a parade.
00:12:23We were never having and we were never here!
00:12:26And some theories that might be generously described as fringe.
00:12:31Well, based on what I've read,
00:12:32it could be us from the future visiting us from, you know, from the past.
00:12:35And then it could also be trans-dimensional,
00:12:37like, or inter-dimensional beings.
00:12:40Fringe, but definitely something people seem to be interested in.
00:12:44According to a CBS News poll, nearly one in five Americans has seen a UFO,
00:12:50which has led to an explosion in podcasts and documentaries on the topic.
00:12:55I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft and non-human beings.
00:12:59I think the possibility that at least some small fraction of UFOs or UAP represent a non-human intelligence,
00:13:06that would be the greatest discovery in human history.
00:13:08So, of course, that's going to fire people up and get their imaginations going.
00:13:12Matthew Shadagas, who teaches physics at the University at Albany in New York,
00:13:17was one of the UFO Festival's invited speakers and would like to believe in aliens,
00:13:22but also knows that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence,
00:13:27especially in the world of ufology, where the more extreme the claims, the more attention they get.
00:13:33We still don't have definitive evidence.
00:13:37We haven't been provided with a dead alien body, for instance,
00:13:41although claims of the existence have been made.
00:13:43But I think we have enough indirect evidence to say that the existence of non-human intelligence
00:13:49is no longer laughable, that it's not irrational.
00:13:54Shadagas is part of a new scientific advisory council established by the Trump administration
00:14:00to study UAPs, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or what we used to call UFOs back in the old days.
00:14:08The person in charge of that council is none other than this guy,
00:14:13respected Harvard professor Avi Loeb, former chair of its astronomy department.
00:14:18Now there are some objects the U.S. government cannot figure out.
00:14:22I would like to figure them out, because at the very least, as an American citizen,
00:14:26I will be helping the Pentagon and the intelligence community fulfill their mission of,
00:14:32if these are human-made technologies, if they come from adversarial nations,
00:14:36then I can help them identify what they are and where they came from.
00:14:40The things Loeb and the other council members are trying to identify
00:14:44are the many sightings over the years of lights and objects
00:14:49and movements in the sky that defy simple explanation.
00:14:54My name is Ryan Fobbs Graves, and I'm a former F-18 pilot
00:14:57with a decade of service in the U.S. Navy.
00:14:59Someone who's experienced it firsthand?
00:15:01Former U.S. Naval pilot Ryan Graves,
00:15:04whose testimony in front of Congress got the nation's attention back in 2023.
00:15:09During a training mission 10 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach,
00:15:13two F-18 Super Hornets were split by a UAP.
00:15:16The object, described as a dark gray or a black cube inside of a clear sphere,
00:15:20came within 50 feet of the lead aircraft.
00:15:22For many people, seeing no-nonsense U.S. military personnel
00:15:26calmly describing things they'd seen and couldn't explain,
00:15:31along with actual images, made the whole thing seem a lot less crazy.
00:15:37We were seeing these things, we were nearly hitting them,
00:15:39and yet we're still unwilling to talk about them in our safety briefs
00:15:44to incorporate them into the conversation.
00:15:47Graves was also recently added to that advisory council,
00:15:51tasked with getting to the bottom of things,
00:15:53and there are a lot of things that have been released in the last eight months.
00:15:57Seven tranches of first-person accounts, photographs, and lots of grainy video.
00:16:02More than 155,000 pages of files overall.
00:16:07But not enough of the good stuff, says Graves.
00:16:10What's being released is not satisfactory to me.
00:16:13What you are seeing are very short clips from infrared sensors aboard different platforms.
00:16:19And ultimately, these are not the high-end, sophisticated tools that are used by pilots
00:16:23in order to make critical decisions about whether an object in the air is hostile,
00:16:28whether it's a decoy, whether it's a threat or not.
00:16:31And so I think we're left with more ambiguity.
00:16:33The mistake that is often made about science is the belief that,
00:16:37oh, the data will come and guide us.
00:16:40But the problem is that to collect the data, you need to put an effort.
00:16:43And it's often a heroic effort to get the high-quality data.
00:16:48Questions linger about what exactly the government knows about UFOs.
00:16:53After former Air Force intelligence officer David Grush testified,
00:16:58he was told of the existence of recovered UFOs.
00:17:02If you believe we have crashed craft,
00:17:05do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?
00:17:08As I've stated publicly already in my News Nation interview,
00:17:11biologics came with some of these recoveries.
00:17:14Yeah.
00:17:14Of course, evidence for all this is classified,
00:17:18leading some ufologists to call Grush and others making claims about government conspiracies.
00:17:24Trust me, bros.
00:17:25What's the most compelling modern thing that you've seen?
00:17:28Oh, my God.
00:17:29I can't talk about it, unfortunately.
00:17:30That's what's, that's, this is my frustration, Joe, because I know what I've seen.
00:17:34Loeb, who's floated a number of controversial theories on possible alien life,
00:17:38says the Advisory Council is working to get as much access to information as possible,
00:17:43starting with what's been publicly released.
00:17:46My role is really simple because it's like a detective.
00:17:48And the worst that can happen to a detective is that the detective is starved of data.
00:17:53So if I don't have data, the quality of my deliberations are poor.
00:17:57I mean, only in politics, with very little data, you can make a huge story.
00:18:01For his part, Ryan Graves started an organization called Americans for Safe Aerospace,
00:18:07which encourages everyone, but especially pilots, to share their stories of UAPs.
00:18:13And, of course, he's got a podcast.
00:18:16It appeared to be about 50 to 60 feet long.
00:18:18It was sort of a triangular shape.
00:18:20Recently, I've been astounded, in fact, that almost everyone is willing to talk about this.
00:18:27It is fighter pilots.
00:18:28It is commercial aviators.
00:18:30And I think that really speaks to how this conversation has changed over the past few years.
00:18:36You're a young guy still, but do you think you'll get answers to this in your lifetime?
00:18:40My lifetime, yes.
00:18:41We are moving towards a point in time where we are perhaps not going to get every answer we want,
00:18:48but we're going to potentially have the confirmation that something is truly strange is happening.
00:18:56Until that confirmation, the truth will have to remain, as they say, out there.
00:19:12We continue our look ahead to this week's midterm elections with a report from Texas.
00:19:18Here's Robert Costa.
00:19:22This year's midterm elections in Texas are on track to cost a billion dollars,
00:19:28with more than half of it spent on the U.S. Senate campaign,
00:19:32what could be the most expensive non-presidential race in American history.
00:19:37But whatever the price tag, it's certainly one of the most combative.
00:19:44Republican State Attorney General Ken Paxton's campaign bus displays a rally cry
00:19:49from the 19th-century Texas Revolution against Mexico.
00:19:53Come and take it.
00:19:55Do you believe in protecting Texas and stopping Sharia law?
00:19:59Yes.
00:20:00So do I.
00:20:02Do you believe that parents, not the government, should raise your children?
00:20:06Yes.
00:20:07So do I.
00:20:09Paxton, whose government tenure has been marked by controversy,
00:20:13is President Trump's hand-picked candidate.
00:20:16Thank you for waiting.
00:20:18Paxton's opponent is a Presbyterian seminarian and former middle school teacher,
00:20:22State Representative James Tallarico.
00:20:27Going into Election Day, polls show the two locked in a tight race.
00:20:31When I was in high school...
00:20:33Tallarico draws his campaign's closing theme from the TV show about Texas high school football.
00:20:41I expect you boys to execute.
00:20:43Friday Night Lights.
00:20:45Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
00:20:47Can't lose!
00:20:49To win this election, we have to execute.
00:20:52We have to leave it all on the field.
00:20:54We have to win.
00:20:56The issues in Texas mirror concerns across the country.
00:21:00High prices, immigration, government corruption, and the power of big tech and billionaires.
00:21:07My eyes on Texas are upon you.
00:21:12As the song goes, the eyes of Texas are upon you.
00:21:16And now, all eyes are on Texas.
00:21:20All this attention on Texas, is it inflating the egos of Texans to be the center of the political universe?
00:21:27Everything's bigger in Texas.
00:21:29We don't need our...
00:21:31Sarah Adler Hartman and Matthew Watkins are the CEO and editor-in-chief of the Texas Tribune,
00:21:37a non-profit and non-partisan news organization.
00:21:43We invited them to the historic Salt Lake restaurant just outside Austin for some hill country barbecue
00:21:50and a little politics.
00:21:53Some Americans look at Texas and they think of cowboys.
00:21:56They think of barbecue, trucks.
00:22:01But this is a state that has a growing Asian American population, growing Latino population,
00:22:06people moving here from all around the country.
00:22:08What is the reality of Texas today when it comes to the people who live here?
00:22:12Texas is very different than the caricature that people paint of Texas from outside of the state.
00:22:18And I think you see this...
00:22:20And you see some of the growing pains, the cognitive dissonance in this.
00:22:23You know, there's more Democratic voters in Texas than there are in Massachusetts.
00:22:29There's traditionally Democratic voters in rural areas of the Rio Grande Valley
00:22:34who are very socially conservative.
00:22:36There's, you know, really liberal white people in Austin.
00:22:43That's how we get into a big, messy, complicated election like we're in now.
00:22:48We followed Ken Paxton and James Tallarico last weekend as both stumped in and around San Antonio.
00:22:56Paxton's backers say the race is about what it means to be a true Texan.
00:23:01So you think a lot of Democrats are moving here?
00:23:03Yes.
00:23:04And they're helping out James Tallarico in your view?
00:23:06And they don't understand.
00:23:07They're bringing their point of views here and it's going to ruin it.
00:23:09It'll be just like California if something doesn't change.
00:23:12Do you see James Tallarico as a Democrat or something else?
00:23:16Something else.
00:23:17He is more for communism and taking away the rights that we have been founded on in this country.
00:23:25He alarms you.
00:23:27He's not just someone you oppose politically, it seems.
00:23:29Absolutely.
00:23:30Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz has been on the trail, campaigning for Paxton.
00:23:36Why is this race so close?
00:23:38Look, this race is neck and neck.
00:23:40It is a dead heat.
00:23:41These races are all about turnout.
00:23:44The left is going to show up.
00:23:45They hate Donald Trump.
00:23:47They're going to show up.
00:23:48The question is, does everybody else, do regular people come out and vote?
00:23:52If regular people come out and vote, we'll win Texas and we'll have a very good election.
00:23:56We caught up with Tallarico supporters in San Antonio.
00:23:59They say GOP attacks on Tallarico over the border and transgender rights are not working.
00:24:06Do you buy into the argument that Latino voters in Texas are turned off by James Tallarico on cultural issues?
00:24:13I mean, I'm Latina, so I'm brown and proud.
00:24:18And I'm definitely going to, I just voted this morning for, you know, James Tallarico.
00:24:22So I'm very excited to see, hopefully, the change that's going to happen.
00:24:28That change won't come easy.
00:24:31Conservative Republicans have run Texas for decades.
00:24:34But some Democrats feel their time has come.
00:24:37I'm hoping that this election will see that there are decent people.
00:24:42There are a lot more decent people than there are corrupt and cruel people.
00:24:48It's not about being Republican.
00:24:50It's not about being a Democrat right now.
00:24:52It's good versus evil.
00:24:54What are you, San Antonio?
00:24:58Congressman Joaquin Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, says economic concerns are paramount,
00:25:05even if the culture fights get the headlines.
00:25:08Prices are so high.
00:25:10You know, people are really feeling it economically.
00:25:12They feel like they don't have time for that.
00:25:14And the fights on the cultural issues.
00:25:16Yeah, I mean, all these attacks on transgender and all this other culture stuff.
00:25:19It's like, I can't pay my bills.
00:25:21I can't afford gas.
00:25:22And also, you know, James Tallarico, he really is a generational talent.
00:25:27I know you hear that.
00:25:28But he's somebody who's trying to unify people.
00:25:31Although diners back at the Salt Lick didn't appear to give it much notice,
00:25:35rising costs of beef and gas and housing could be the deciding factor here and nationwide.
00:25:45The Texas Tribune's Matthew Watkins.
00:25:48There are a lot of people nationwide who view Texas as sort of the beating heart
00:25:52of conservatism for the country.
00:25:55There are people on the right who say,
00:25:58we can't lose Texas or else we lose the country.
00:26:01There are people on the left who say,
00:26:03man, if we win Texas, like, this is a big deal.
00:26:08There's this sort of psychological weight that is on it
00:26:11that makes people feel like, okay, we can't lose this.
00:26:14Or what if we win this that is causing people to really take interest in this race?
00:26:42If trick-or-treaters came to your door last night,
00:26:45there's a pretty good chance at least one of them was dressed as a vampire.
00:26:49But black capes, Victorian formal wear, and fangs aren't just for Halloween,
00:26:55as Tracy Smith explains.
00:26:59Welcome to my home.
00:27:01The legend says that vampires are immortal, and in a way, that's actually true.
00:27:07The mythical creatures, based largely on Bram Stoker's 1897 horror novel, Dracula,
00:27:13keep themselves alive, as it were, by drinking blood.
00:27:17And I never drink.
00:27:22Wine.
00:27:23And they've stayed alive on our movie and TV screens for generations.
00:27:32Your great-grandparents had Dracula.
00:27:3790s kids had Buffy.
00:27:39Oh, great.
00:27:41Their children...
00:27:42Are you afraid?
00:27:43...had Twilight.
00:27:46And last year, there was Sinners.
00:27:48Admit to what?
00:27:50Admit to what?
00:27:52That you date.
00:27:54So how long have you been interested in vampires?
00:27:56Oh, for as long as I can remember.
00:27:59Seems vampires never really do get old,
00:28:01says Professor Rebecca McHendry at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
00:28:06What do you think it is about vampires that makes them this ever-recurring theme
00:28:11in movies and TV and books?
00:28:14Vampires are a reflection of whatever our societies are going through at the time
00:28:18and our own human feelings.
00:28:20We see vampires and other creatures like vampires reoccurring over and over across all cultures
00:28:27throughout history.
00:28:28And the one thing that we can all kind of agree on is that we think death is final.
00:28:32But there's also fear in, well, what if it's not?
00:28:38So sorry about this.
00:28:40You know we're not really bad people.
00:28:42The vampire theme gets new life in Eternally Yours,
00:28:46a series on CBS, owned by our parent company Skydance.
00:28:50It centers around a vampire couple who's been married for centuries.
00:28:55Salud.
00:28:56Cheers.
00:28:57In this show, vampires are played for laughs,
00:29:00but they've always had a certain sex appeal.
00:29:03Be one of us.
00:29:05In 1987, the movie The Lost Boys, led by Kiefer Sutherland,
00:29:10introduced a different breed of vampire.
00:29:12How far are you willing to go, Michael?
00:29:14Young, moody, and kind of hot.
00:29:18Lost Boys weaves in youth culture.
00:29:22These are not adult vampires.
00:29:24These are kids.
00:29:26They're teenagers.
00:29:27What's going on, Paul?
00:29:29We also see this whole idea of them not feeling adjusted within their family units.
00:29:34And so, therefore, they band together as a group of kids
00:29:37trying to figure out how to survive in a society
00:29:40that they don't feel like they're a part of.
00:29:45They've also figured out how to survive on Broadway.
00:29:48The Lost Boys, the musical, is a solid hit.
00:29:52Directed by Tony Award winner Michael Arden.
00:29:54Why do you think vampires have this, forgive me, eternal hold on our imaginations?
00:30:00When you introduce this idea of everlasting life,
00:30:04it makes you say, oh, well, if I did have everlasting life,
00:30:07how might I choose to live mine?
00:30:09So maybe these stories inspire us to kind of delve deeper into who we might be
00:30:15without thinking about a finish line.
00:30:20In the show, L.J. Bonet is the new kid in town.
00:30:23Ollie Lewis Borsgi is the blonde vampire who takes him under his wing.
00:30:27I want a love.
00:30:30Yeah, they do all the usual vampire stuff, but they can really sing.
00:30:37In the last forever.
00:30:41And they make it look like they can really fly.
00:30:44Give me what I've never heard.
00:30:47It's insane that we're flying through the air every night in front of people.
00:30:51And most people in the audience are probably witnessing this for the first time.
00:30:55Although I hear that there are some people who've seen the show 40, 50 times.
00:30:58Oh, yeah.
00:30:58Someone's coming for their 100th on Halloween.
00:31:00Wow.
00:31:01Yeah.
00:31:01How long does it take to get comfortable with flying?
00:31:05I think the first time you ever grow up, and you can speak to this as well, but it felt
00:31:09like you shouldn't be up there.
00:31:11I feel like your body is just fighting every, like, what am I doing up here?
00:31:16But you're up there, and it's scary.
00:31:17But now I'm up there after doing the show 200 plus times, and I'm thinking about what
00:31:21I'm going to have for lunch.
00:31:22Yeah, it's insane.
00:31:28Talk about flying.
00:31:29The Lost Boys is going where other vampire shows could not.
00:31:34And when he appeared beside me.
00:31:372004's Dracula the Musical died an untimely death.
00:31:41Oh, send me away.
00:31:43And in 2006, Lestat, with music by Elton John, closed after only two months at the Palace
00:31:51Theater, the very place where the Lost Boys is running now.
00:31:55I'm guessing you were aware of the Broadway vampire musical curse?
00:31:59There has been one.
00:32:00Unfortunately, vampire musicals in the past did die, unlike vampires.
00:32:12But this show's bucking the trend.
00:32:15Since opening in March, it's been going strong at the box office.
00:32:19It also took home four Tony Awards, including Best Featured Actress Shoshana Bean.
00:32:25Thank you.
00:32:26And supporting actor, Ollie Lewis Borski.
00:32:29I never utter the word vampire.
00:32:31I never say truly what we are.
00:32:33And I think because of that, it keeps a level of silliness away.
00:32:38If you go too deep into the whole vampire thing, it starts to get a little goofy, I think.
00:32:42So I think it's the ambiguity that kind of created some success.
00:32:46I've been dreaming of this thing for years.
00:32:50Beyond the fangs and the flying, The Lost Boys is about things just about everyone can relate to.
00:32:56To you, what is this musical about?
00:32:58Finding family.
00:32:59I mean, whether it's the chosen family that you have and rediscovering what that means for you,
00:33:04or finding the family you get to choose, your community outside of that.
00:33:08For him, it's, you know, it's a bunch of vampires.
00:33:12I'll make you work for Eddie.
00:33:14You're gonna sweat.
00:33:15And that's the question about vampire stories.
00:33:18Can tales of the undead make the rest of us feel more alive?
00:33:23I'm knocking on your door.
00:33:25Let me inside.
00:33:27I've heard you talk about a Broadway show, this show, as something that can fundamentally change you,
00:33:32change your body chemistry.
00:33:34What do you mean?
00:33:35It is a once-in-a-lifetime event each time a musical goes on.
00:33:40It's this special, magical thing that can happen.
00:33:43It's big.
00:33:44It's important.
00:33:45And it's something we need as people.
00:33:47So a Broadway show can be as life-changing as getting bitten by a vampire?
00:33:52Well, that's what we're trying to find out.
00:34:01It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
00:34:07That is not a weakness.
00:34:10That is life.
00:35:01Abonnez-vous !
00:35:07Milwaukee is a town we tend to associate with beer, Bratwurst, and right now the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers.
00:35:15But Milwaukee has another distinction likely to surprise you.
00:35:20As Mo Rocca explains.
00:35:24Public servants going into government to clean things up.
00:35:27Sounds cliche.
00:35:28But at the Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that's job number one and number two.
00:35:38We have these huge settling tanks.
00:35:40Oils and grease float to the top.
00:35:43Solids sink to the bottom.
00:35:45As our guide Bill Graffin explains, this 101-year-old pioneering feat of engineering treats as much as 400 million
00:35:54gallons of wastewater each day.
00:35:57Before this treatment center, how was water in Milwaukee treated?
00:36:03It wasn't.
00:36:04It wasn't.
00:36:05All the sewage in the region went right to the rivers, which then went to Lake Michigan.
00:36:09And then we took our drinking water out of Lake Michigan.
00:36:11Kevin Schaefer is the executive director of Milwaukee's sewer system.
00:36:16Couldn't private industry have done this?
00:36:18You know, they could have, but that initial capital investment was huge.
00:36:21So it really took a public tax base to pay for it.
00:36:24And that's just what happened in 1925 under the leadership of Milwaukee's socialist mayor.
00:36:31In fact, Milwaukee was once the capital of American socialism.
00:36:36Don't believe us?
00:36:37Do you come to Milwaukee often?
00:36:40Then take it from rocker Alice Cooper, as he once schooled Wayne and Garth on this very topic.
00:36:46I think one of the most interesting aspects of Milwaukee is the fact that it's the only major American city
00:36:51to have ever elected three socialist mayors.
00:36:54Does this guy know how to party or what?
00:36:56That's right.
00:36:57Three socialist mayors who collectively presided for nearly 40 years, beginning in 1910.
00:37:05Why in Milwaukee, of all places, do voters elect a socialist government?
00:37:10Because they were the best choice.
00:37:12Absolutely.
00:37:13John Gerda is the preeminent historian of Milwaukee.
00:37:17You have a lot of things going on.
00:37:18One was corruption in high places.
00:37:20So there was an appetite for change.
00:37:22And then you had a huge working class population as well.
00:37:25Fifty-seven percent of Milwaukee's males worked in manufacturing.
00:37:29This is the machine shop of the world?
00:37:30Machine shop of the world.
00:37:31That was the self-assigned slogan.
00:37:34So appeals to that class consciousness were really well received.
00:37:38Also key, the city's vibrant community of educated German immigrants who'd been raised with socialist ideals before coming to America.
00:37:47You could have gotten a good glass of lager here.
00:37:49They'd gather here at Turner Hall.
00:37:52And this was really a center of German social life, as well as kind of an intellectual salon.
00:37:57You'd have lectures here, lots of discourses, debates.
00:38:00Now this was a distinctly practical, Midwestern flavor of socialism, focused less on class warfare,
00:38:07and more on what they said was improving the lives of working class people.
00:38:13More parks, public housing, and functioning sewers, which is why it was dubbed sewer socialism.
00:38:21Was this really socialism?
00:38:23It was probably more social democracy back in those years, and I think probably less ideological than practical.
00:38:31Is that part of why it was successful?
00:38:33Yes, absolutely.
00:38:33Because it didn't emphasize ideology?
00:38:35Absolutely.
00:38:36Were they anti-capitalist?
00:38:38Yes, they were.
00:38:40But they worked with anyone.
00:38:42Socialism has long been a boogeyman in American politics.
00:38:46While recent polls show it's increasingly appealing to younger voters, it's still more often an accusation.
00:38:54The communists, socialists, Democrats, they will cheat, they will do whatever.
00:39:00Hurled to cast suspicion on a candidate.
00:39:03Abdul El-Sayed is socialism.
00:39:05For the record, Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has said repeatedly that he's not a socialist.
00:39:12But back in the early 1900s...
00:39:15Was socialism a radioactive label back then?
00:39:17No, not at all.
00:39:18And I think what people learned over time, they learned to trust the socialists.
00:39:23These guys were absolutely unbuyable.
00:39:27One of the first acts of the first socialist mayor, Amos Seidel, erecting a public exhibit on the city's budget.
00:39:35Which is not exactly thrilling political theater.
00:39:37It appealed to immigrant thrift.
00:39:39Because people, you know, the average German Hausfrau, you've got to make a dollar stretch.
00:39:43And the socialists were doing that on the city level.
00:39:47It was Milwaukee's second socialist mayor, Daniel Hone, who made the biggest impact on the city.
00:39:54He's mayor for 24 years.
00:39:56Milwaukee becomes award after award winner for the safest, healthiest, cleanest big city in America.
00:40:03We won the public health awards so often that Milwaukee had to be retired to give other cities a chance.
00:40:08So not sexy, but this is good government.
00:40:13This is government working.
00:40:14Hone was the mayor who spearheaded the Jones Island Water Treatment Facility.
00:40:19But this socialist was thinking more like a capitalist when he helped come up with a product that could be
00:40:26made from the wastewater.
00:40:28Milwaukee organic nitrogen, better known as the fertilizer milorganite.
00:40:33What is the biggest misconception about this fertilizer, milorganite?
00:40:38A lot of people think it's poop in a bag, and it's not.
00:40:41It is the microscopic organisms that are huge in wastewater treatment.
00:40:46And Milwaukee hit pay dirt with milorganite.
00:40:49Still sold today, it brings in millions each year to the city.
00:40:53And this is the actual product.
00:41:02Master gardeners love it, the golf course superintendents, and homeowners.
00:41:08Yes, this legacy of Milwaukee socialism is used to keep golf courses a rich green.
00:41:15Milwaukee's last socialist mayor, Frank Zeidler, left office in 1960.
00:41:20By that time, the most popular socialist ideas had been adopted by the Democratic Party.
00:41:26What happened was the New Deal, they co-opted socialist rhetoric.
00:41:31So things like old age insurance became Social Security in 1935.
00:41:36So as time went on, that became kind of the party of more progressive policies and politics.
00:41:43Milwaukee's socialist era is long past.
00:41:46But historian John Gerda says there are lessons for today's progressives.
00:41:51So these guys were not ideologues.
00:41:53They certainly believed in kind of leftist philosophy.
00:41:55But what they wanted to do was create a better life for the working people especially.
00:42:28But what they wanted to do was create a better life for the working people especially.
00:43:03Oh, thank you very much.
00:51:02Je ne sais pas, j'ai dit, j'ai dit, j'ai joué, j'ai joué, j'ai joué !
00:51:05Oh, Daddy !
00:51:08Nous ne savons pas, bien sûr, qu'est-ce que c'est, c'est un fact, c'est un forgettable.
00:51:15Il a fait plus de 50 films, après ça.
00:51:18Si je ne viendrai, si je ne viendrai, si je ne viendrai.
00:51:21Mais, il a été plus prouvé de la service à ses pays.
00:51:28En 1983, Stuart était honoré à la Kennedy Center.
00:51:35Where cadets from the U.S. Air Force Academy brought in near tears.
00:51:41Jimmy Stewart did indeed have a wonderful life.
00:51:45But his sacrifice, and those of others, gave us a pretty wonderful life too.
00:52:04A new show is putting artist Georgia O'Keeffe's work and life in a whole new light.
00:52:10All in an exhibit, now on display.
00:52:20So many people know Georgia O'Keeffe as a painter of flowers.
00:52:23Or maybe they know her landscapes or her paintings of bones.
00:52:27So something like this, a barn, I know is a surprise for many people.
00:52:32When you hear the name Georgia O'Keeffe, architecture may not be the first thing that comes to mind.
00:52:39Georgia O'Keeffe became very well known in the American art world earlier in her career, in the 19-teens
00:52:45and 20s.
00:52:46Curiously, flower paintings represent only about 10% of her artworks.
00:52:53A new exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts is painting a different portrait of the artist,
00:52:58showcasing her architectural works through an autobiographical lens.
00:53:04Ben Coleman is the show's curator.
00:53:06We are looking, as we walk around these galleries, at the places where she lived and worked,
00:53:12the places that were really formative to her as an individual and as a painter.
00:53:18O'Keeffe was born in 1887 on a Wisconsin dairy farm, a source of inspiration in her works.
00:53:26When she painted this picture, she also wanted to challenge what she considered misunderstandings of her art.
00:53:33She was very conscious and maybe self-conscious about selecting subjects
00:53:38that would not be perceived as typically feminine in their composition.
00:53:43She would later live in Manhattan, just as skyscrapers began to redefine the city in the 1920s.
00:53:50She pays special attention to what she called the sky shapes,
00:53:55the negative space of sky, moon, and clouds that she saw around the buildings.
00:54:02O'Keeffe eventually moved to New Mexico, where she found herself surrounded by adobe structures and
00:54:09desert landscapes. Sunday morning paid her a visit in 1981.
00:54:14My God, I saw the country from the hill up there. The road went up high over the hill.
00:54:20Nobody else has looked at it so long. I painted it so often, it became mine.
00:54:27Over the course of her career, O'Keeffe would go on to complete about 140 architectural paintings.
00:54:35These are pictures where she's asking questions about the nature of the places where she lived,
00:54:40about the qualities of light, atmosphere, and texture of the buildings that she painted.
00:54:46Georgia O'Keeffe died in 1986 at 98 years old. A legacy grounded in a vast body of work,
00:54:56cementing her presence in American art.
00:55:08In Great Britain, governments may change. Political crises come and go. But Holly
00:55:15Williams tells us for the past 15 years, one constant has brought stability to these turbulent times.
00:55:24British democracy is an intimate affair. The Prime Minister's residence is a drafty 17th
00:55:31century townhouse, Number 10 Downing Street.
00:55:36With the press pack jostling for position on the other side of the narrow road.
00:55:42Adding to the cosy atmosphere is the presence of the official pet of the British leader,
00:55:48Larry, a 19-year-old tabby cat. Larry is on personal terms with the journalists,
00:55:56has the Prime Minister's security detail at his beckoned call, and has even attracted the attention
00:56:03of world leaders. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took a shine to Larry on a recent state visit,
00:56:10and the cat stole the show during a photo call with President Trump.
00:56:15Oh, you're a lovely cat.
00:56:21Oh, I've just been bitten by the Prime Minister's cat. What's his personality?
00:56:28He's great with people he knows, not so great with people he doesn't know.
00:56:32Justin Ng is a freelance photographer who's a particular favourite with Larry,
00:56:37perhaps because he's always armed with snacks. Does he think that the journalists are here for him?
00:56:44Of course. Sometimes he might pose on the red carpet. He might even throw him over the shoulder,
00:56:50so just like a movie star might.
00:56:52On slow news days, Larry sometimes makes it into the headlines.
00:56:57And I made all the international hullabaloo and attention spare a thought for Larry the cat,
00:57:04who's out here, outside the door of number 10 this morning.
00:57:10The attention's turned him into a celebrity, with over a million followers on social media,
00:57:16and even a satirical, ghost-written book.
00:57:20He is a fixture of British political life.
00:57:22John Craig has a reputation as a hard-edged, veteran political reporter. He's also a Larry fan.
00:57:31Larry is caught up in what you might call a tabloid storm, and clearly like a lot of the victims
00:57:36of a tabloid storm,
00:57:38he's gone into hiding. So let's see if we can tempt him out.
00:57:42You are a softie, especially for this cat.
00:57:46Yes, I love animals. And, you know, if you're standing here on a freezing cold evening,
00:57:52waiting to go on TV, say, at 10 o'clock at night, and Larry comes out, well, it brightens up
00:57:57your evening, doesn't it?
00:57:59Larry was adopted from a rescue home in 2011.
00:58:03It's just the end of rats in Downing Street.
00:58:06By then-Prime Minister David Cameron, as a pet and Mauser-in-chief.
00:58:13Since then, Larry has seen six Prime Ministers leave office,
00:58:17many of them removed not in general elections, but in backroom leadership battles, forced out by their own party.
00:58:28The current Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, dethroned his predecessor in July,
00:58:34apparently an attempt by the government to defeat a new and popular far-right figure, Nigel Farage.
00:58:42Love you all. You're a great lot. Thank you.
00:58:45What does this turbulence say about what's going on in this country?
00:58:50It says, I suppose, that politics is more volatile.
00:58:53There is no longer the old two-party system, as we used to call it.
00:58:57So the big parties are being challenged much more than they were previously.
00:59:01It sounds like you're saying things have got more complex, more complicated in this country.
00:59:06Yes, very much so.
00:59:08Larry has successfully fought off threats to his rule, including foxes, pigeons,
00:59:18and Palmerston, the cat at the nearby British Foreign Office, recently deceased.
00:59:24That's his McJudgy face.
00:59:26McJudgy face.
00:59:27Justin Ng has capitalised on Larry's fame with a line of merchandise.
00:59:33One day, inevitably, Larry will pass away.
00:59:36What do you think their reaction will be here in the United Kingdom?
00:59:40The whole country might be in mourning, because he's a beloved character from across the whole country.
00:59:46A state funeral?
00:59:47We can only hope.
00:59:49Unlike some departing politicians, when this icon of British politics uses up his nine lives, he'll be missed.
01:00:05We end this morning with news of a death in our family.
01:00:09Linda Mason died this past week.
01:00:12For seven years, she was executive producer of this broadcast,
01:00:16before moving on to become the first woman to serve as vice president here at CBS News.
01:00:22Linda was 84 years old and spent 47 of those years here at CBS.
01:00:29Those are the facts.
01:00:31And Linda was a stickler for facts.
01:00:33But she was so much more than that.
01:00:36Competent, fair, smart, sensitive, supportive.
01:00:42Linda made time for everyone.
01:00:45The reality is Linda personified the spirit of CBS News.
01:00:49She cared about journalism.
01:00:52She cared about people.
01:00:54We are all the poorer for her passing.
