I've been counted out, dismissed, passed

0:02

over, told I'd never be a

0:04

golfer with just one arm. But the

0:06

only thing that feels better than

0:09

proving people wrong is out driving

0:11

them. I'm 14-year-old golfer Tommy Morsi,

0:13

0:16

from my ability. As a champion

CBS News headquarters in

1:04

New York. This is

1:06

the CBS evening news.

1:09

Good evening, I'm Maurice Dubois. John

1:11

Dickerson is off tonight. We begin

1:13

here with high anxiety. Most Americans

1:16

believe they are losing the battle

1:18

against inflation. In a new CBS

1:20

News poll, only 24% told us

1:23

their incomes are keeping up with

1:25

rising prices. 76% said they are

1:27

not. And optimism about the future

1:30

is falling. Last month, a third

1:32

of Americans said they expect the

1:34

economy next year to be booming.

1:37

Since then, that number has fallen

1:39

five points, and the number

1:41

of Americans who believe we

1:43

will be in a recession

1:45

next year is up five

1:47

points to 28%. Skyler Henry

1:49

is in rural Georgia tonight,

1:51

where like many other parts

1:53

of the country, people are

1:55

struggling to make ends meet.

1:57

Skyler? thousand dollars as it

1:59

relates to household income. After

2:01

speaking with some of the

2:04

folks here today, one thing

2:06

is for certain. Everyone is

2:08

concerned about where their money

2:10

is going these days. In

2:12

Jackson, Georgia, a small town an

2:14

hour south of Atlanta, diners at

2:17

Fresh Air Barbecue, a family-owned restaurant

2:19

nearly a century old, can feast

2:21

on a chop pork sandwich for

2:23

only four bucks. Would you like

2:25

a drink? Yes. A bargain for

2:28

customers like Barbara Hawk, who is

2:30

living on a fixed income and

2:32

watching every dollar. You cut down groceries,

2:34

I go to the ads each week.

2:37

and see what's on sale each place.

2:39

Sometimes I may go to three

2:41

different grocery stores just to

2:43

get stuff. It's on sale.

2:45

And we've seen the headlines,

2:47

the eggs. Oh yeah, I

2:49

hadn't bought any eggs. A

2:52

new CBS News poll finds

2:54

the biggest economic concern among

2:56

Americans who feel they're not

2:58

doing well is the price

3:00

of food and services. 40%

3:02

of Americans feel bad about

3:04

their own financial situation. Privulous

3:06

spending is out of the

3:08

question for Chrisie Burford, a

3:10

part-timer at Fresh Air Barbecue.

3:12

Burford says she and her

3:14

husband are doing okay, living

3:16

on their pensions and his

3:18

social security, but the added income

3:20

comes in handy. It allows us to

3:23

have extra money each month to help

3:25

pay for if we want to

3:27

take a trip or we need. new

3:29

tires or you know quite literally

3:32

the rainy day fun right right

3:34

do you notice costs going up

3:36

in other places grocery store yes

3:38

it's been that way for a

3:41

couple years yeah and it's just

3:43

one of those things where it's

3:45

like it's a good thing that

3:47

you're here yes now you can

3:49

move your money around a little

3:51

bit more yeah exactly One

3:55

of the other things adding to the anxiety

3:58

of those here in Georgia cut to federal

4:00

jobs, especially those that the Department

4:02

of Health and Human Services announced

4:04

today, those proposed cuts would eliminate

4:07

some 20,000 positions, including 2,400 at

4:09

the CDC up the road in

4:11

Atlanta. Skylar Henry and Jackson, Georgia.

4:13

Thanks so much. We want to

4:16

dig deeper into the economic numbers

4:18

now with Anthony Salvato. He's in

4:20

charge of our CBS News polling.

4:22

And Kelly O'Grady, correspondent for CBS

4:24

News Money Watch, good to see

4:27

you both. So Anthony, let's start

4:29

with how people are feeling about the

4:31

economy, their income, and inflation here. I'll start

4:33

off. People continue to rate the economy as

4:35

doing badly. Most people say it is, but

4:38

the reason for that, Maurice, and they say

4:40

it is prices. It is prices. When we

4:42

follow up and ask them, why they give

4:44

that. rating and that's been the case for

4:46

years. That's the case since the pandemic. Kelly,

4:49

what's behind those numbers? Well. The

4:51

data, because consumers feel that

4:53

their wages aren't rising as

4:55

fast as inflation, and they're

4:58

right. Inflation, you go back

5:00

to January 2021, right before

5:03

it kicked off, right? Pandemic?

5:05

Yeah, pandemic. Prices have risen

5:07

cumulatively, 22% versus now, wages, only

5:09

20%. That gap is why they feel

5:12

it. That math doesn't work. What about

5:14

their retirement savings, Anthony? What are they

5:16

saying about that? power because if you

5:18

can't save money you can't save for

5:20

retirement and second you know we've seen

5:23

the market volatility now and people have

5:25

money invest in the stock market also

5:27

may be feeling anxious. You hit on

5:29

it with volatility and uncertainty right Kelly?

5:31

Absolutely I mean the S&P 500 it's down

5:33

three percent year to date a lot of

5:35

retirement funds are invested in the S&P 500

5:37

and that's where you see some of that

5:39

anxiety. This kind of sentiment the risk of where of

5:41

where could this all lead, all lead it's not a

5:43

good place? Well look, consumers may not be

5:46

right, but how they feel impacts how they

5:48

spend. Spending is two-thirds of GDP, and

5:50

if you got two negative quarters of that,

5:52

the risk is a recession. Okay, Kelly, Anthony,

5:54

thank you both so much. The new tariffs

5:57

that go into effect next week will raise

5:59

the cost. not only of imported

6:01

cars, but of the parts needed

6:03

to repair them. And that'll mean

6:06

higher premiums for car insurance. More

6:08

now from Usher Kaurashi. Steve

6:10

Walter's family has been fixing cars

6:13

on Chicago's north side for 70

6:15

years. I'm for a generation. My

6:17

grandfather worked on pre-war Italian base

6:19

cars. Walter's mechanics replaced metal more

6:21

often than they repair it. So

6:23

he's bracing for the impact of

6:25

President Trump's new tariffs. Those tariffs

6:27

are going to increase the average

6:29

repair order. One thing that people

6:31

wonder about is, you know, what

6:33

potential impact this might have on

6:36

insurance premiums? Well, they're going to

6:38

go out. The cost of repairs

6:40

for a five-year-old car averaged five

6:42

to six thousand dollars last year,

6:44

and Walter expects that to rise.

6:46

Fender right here, for example, so

6:48

roughly around $200. With the tariffs

6:51

in place, you know, maybe in

6:53

six months to a year, we'll

6:55

see, you know, this fender being

6:57

$250. How many parts do you

6:59

think are in here? Millions? Millions

7:02

of parts. Nearly all of the

7:04

replacement parts on the shelves inside

7:06

Fred Billy's warehouse came from the

7:08

countries facing new tariffs. That's man

7:10

in Mexico. Billies Price has increased in

7:12

2019 after President Trump imposed tariffs in

7:14

his first term. What do you do

7:17

with that? Add in costs, that gets

7:19

passed on. Has to kill customers, put

7:21

a consumer. The Insurance Information Institute had

7:23

already forecast premium increases this year of

7:25

about 7% and that's before new tariffs.

7:27

So there's a ripple effect and it

7:29

starts at the top and comes all

7:31

the way down. It's a good way

7:33

to look at it. It's like a

7:35

ripple. It's like a ripple look at

7:38

it. It's like a ripple. Bob Passmore

7:40

represents insurance companies. He says the impact

7:42

from tariffs today will be felt in

7:44

12 to 18 months. Usher Karashi joins

7:46

me now. So Usher those of

7:48

us driving American cars might feel

7:50

hey this doesn't apply to me

7:53

is that right or wrong? Well you

7:55

might think that's the case but industry

7:57

experts we spoke to say no

7:59

that That is not the case

8:01

and that's because your policy not

8:04

only has to cover your car

8:06

and the damage to your car

8:08

in an accident, but damage to

8:11

other cars as well. And those

8:13

cars may require foreign-made parts, which

8:15

are subject to terrorists. There could

8:18

be from anywhere. Usher Kaurashi, thanks

8:20

so much. Now more of the

8:22

top stories from around the world

8:25

in tonight's evening news roundup, receive

8:27

false alarms. Today, the acting head

8:29

of the FAA said they were

8:32

caused by counter-drawn testing conducted by

8:34

the Secret Service and the Navy.

8:37

The Trump administration has reverse plans

8:39

to shut down radio-free Europe after

8:41

a federal judge temporarily blocked a

8:44

funding cut off. Sunday on 60

8:46

Minutes, Bill Whittaker reports on the

8:48

administration's efforts to silence the voice

8:51

of America. The President today withdrew

8:53

his nomination of Republican Congresswoman, at

8:55

least a phonic of New York,

8:58

to be ambassador to the UN.

9:00

He said her vote is critical

9:02

to advancing the Trump agenda in

9:05

the House, where the GOP has

9:07

a razor-thin majority. And more fallout

9:09

from revelations that the Trump National

9:12

Security Team discussed plans for an

9:14

attack on Hooti rebels in Yemen

9:16

on the text messaging app signal.

9:19

Republican and Democratic senators are asking

9:21

the Defense Department Inspector to investigate.

9:23

That O'Keefe is at the White

9:26

House. Federal District Court judge here

9:28

in Washington is ordering several top

9:30

Trump administration officials to keep copies

9:33

of text messages they received about

9:35

forthcoming attacks on Huthi rebel targets

9:37

between March 11th and March 15th.

9:40

The same text messages that were

9:42

accidentally sent to a journalist. The

9:44

president is said to be privately

9:47

irritated about the incident, but is

9:49

standing by White House National Security

9:51

Advisor Mike Waltz and Defense Secretary

9:54

Pete Hexeth. CBS News has learned

9:56

the White House vigorously debated whether

9:58

Waltz should resign, but he never

10:01

offered to, and the president never

10:03

asked. Still, one source described the

10:05

situation is quote, still a hot

10:08

potato. Okay, good description. Ed O'Keefe

10:10

at the White House. Thanks so

10:13

much. Still ahead here on the

10:15

CBS evening news, Rob Marciano on

10:17

severe weather in Texas. And we'll

10:20

winners by removing toxicity from youth

sports. That's tonight's I in America.

10:31

I'm Holly Williams in nook Greenland.

10:34

We've come here to find out

10:36

what Greenlanders think about President Trump's

10:38

plan to take over. That's next

Jeff Probst, every Wednesday after the

11:39

14:00

Well, some here have told us they

14:02

feel anxious or insulted because the president

14:04

of the US, the most powerful man

14:06

in the world, has said he wants

14:09

to take control of Greenland. which is

14:11

their home. We've actually found it quite

14:13

difficult here to find people who will

14:16

speak to us on camera because many

14:18

now seem to be suspicious of the

14:20

US media. Now I think it's important

14:22

to point out that this is not

14:25

the first time the US has tried

14:27

to take over Greenland, though in the

14:29

past it's been via negotiation. The US

14:32

even offered Denmark $100 million for Greenland

14:34

back in 1946. That's equivalent to over

14:36

a billion dollars today. And Holly, that

14:39

military base in Greenland that the vice

14:41

president is set to visit, can you

14:43

give us a sense of how significant

14:45

it is? Well, the Bedouphic base is

14:48

extremely remote. It's around a thousand miles

14:50

north of here, Greenland's capital, Nuke, but

14:52

it is critical to America's missile defense

14:55

systems. Because if Russia ever targeted the

14:57

US with ballistic missiles, the shortest route

14:59

would be across the Arctic. Holly Williams,

15:02

a Nuke Greenland tonight. Thank you so

15:04

much. You know, this country meteorologist Rob

15:06

Marciano joins me tracking some severe weather,

15:08

including flooding in Texas. Rob. Hey, Maurice.

15:11

Yeah, in South Texas, they're getting both

15:13

right now. Ongoing, tornado warnings and flood

15:15

flood warnings. This is out of MacAllen,

15:18

Texas, where they have had two to

15:20

five inches of rainfall. You see those

15:22

cards submerged already, and there's more coming

15:25

in across the Rio Grande. Two to

15:27

five inches of rainfall is already fallen.

15:29

This is going to spread up to

15:31

the north. 10 or 12 inches on

15:34

top of this. Now this area needs

15:36

the rain, but certainly not all this,

15:38

not all at one time. These flood

15:41

watches go in through tomorrow. Some of

15:43

them go all the way into Saturday.

15:45

All right, speaking of Saturday, we've up

15:47

the chances for severe weather across the

15:50

plains. We're now starting to see an

15:52

influx of moisture here, we're now starting

15:54

to see an influx of moisture, and

15:57

then on Monday, Charleston. Jacksonville up through

15:59

Raleigh. All hazards still in play here,

16:01

Maurice. So it could be a very

16:04

active weekend once again. Keep an eye

16:06

on it. Rob Marciano. Thank you. Well,

16:08

a former big league ball player, coaches

16:10

kids and their parents on how to

16:13

take the stress out of youth sports.

16:15

Iron America is next. On

16:20

this opening day of the baseball

16:22

season, we have the story of

16:24

a former major leaguer who was

16:26

out to put the fun back

16:28

in sports for kids and their

16:30

parents. Elizabeth Cook in Seattle has

16:32

tonight's eye on America. When Paul

16:34

Dynas and his son Tanner head

16:36

to the diamond, they're no longer

16:38

playing just to win. They're focused

16:40

on something more important. Paul Dennis

16:42

was for a time coaching Tanner's

16:44

team, but now his coaching days

16:46

are over. I was a horrible,

16:48

horrible parent for many years. I

16:50

would follow him around the field.

16:52

They're just like being super hard

16:54

on me. And I made one

16:56

error and I got a big

16:58

talking to you about it. Anna

17:00

Dynas is Tanner's mom. Every time

17:02

Tanner like struck out he'd look

17:04

at him no matter what. And

17:06

I'm like, he needs to stop

17:08

because he's already in his head.

17:10

And so now he struck out

17:12

and now he's worried about that

17:14

and he's worried about what he's

17:16

thinking of him. So you benched

17:18

him? Yeah. The Dynas family had

17:20

a problem and sought help from

17:22

a real pro. Professional ball player

17:24

Travis Snyder counsels parents to get

17:26

off their kids' backs. Snyder came

17:28

was on the center field. After

17:30

a 16-year playing career. Blue Jays,

17:32

pirates, Orioles. Now he's trying to

17:34

change the culture of youth sports

17:36

through his Seattle-based company, 3A Athletics.

17:38

What do you want parents, coaches,

17:40

and players to know? We want

17:42

them to have a community of

17:44

resources and feel like they're not

17:46

alone because being a parent is

17:48

incredibly difficult and then you throw

17:50

the pressure of sports, the time,

17:52

the money, the energy. It just

17:54

intensifies that emotional attachment that we

17:56

have to our kids who are

17:58

the things we love the most.

18:00

And here's the reality. According to

18:02

the NCAA, less than 7% of

18:04

high school athletes play in college,

18:06

and only 2% of them make

18:08

it to the pros. Snyder, now

18:11

a father of three, brings a

18:13

unique perspective to coaching kids and

18:15

parents. As a boy, he was

18:17

the best youth player in Washington

18:19

State, but as an adult, he

18:21

was diagnosed with complex PTSD. After

18:23

a lifetime of challenging moments. You've

18:25

been very open about this moment

18:27

when you're 11 years old. You're

18:29

standing... there are the pitching men.

18:31

You're having a great game, but

18:33

all of a sudden you have

18:35

a meltdown. What happened? At the

18:37

time I was the best player

18:39

on the team, so that's a

18:41

lot of pressure. And then when

18:43

things don't go to plant, it

18:45

was just too much for my

18:47

emotional regulation to be able to

18:49

process that while there's 6,000 people

18:51

in the stands watching me fail.

18:53

The Dynas family says they benefited

18:55

directly from the lessons Travis Snyder

18:57

learned. Tanner is all in on

18:59

his strategy. to make youth sports

19:01

a learning experience, not an end

19:03

game. So Paul, how important is

19:05

winning now? I don't care. I

19:07

just want to see Tanner be

19:09

happy. Winning does not matter to

19:11

me. If he's happy, I'm happy,

19:13

she's happy, and we go home.

19:15

Which as a parent may make

19:17

him an even bigger winner. For

19:19

I in America, I'm Elizabeth Cook

19:21

in Seattle. Yeah, it's supposed to

19:23

be fun. And coming up next,

19:25

the biggest loser. Can the worst

19:27

team in baseball. make a comeback.

19:29

What's up Hoop fans? I'm asking

19:31

Nicole Moss and I'm bringing you

19:33

triple threat. Your weekly courtside pass

19:35

to the most interesting moments and

conversations in the NBA. From clutch

19:39

performances to the stories shaping the

19:41

game on and off the court,

19:43

triple threat has you covered with

19:45

it all. Culture, drama and social

19:47

media buzz, we're locked in just

19:49

like you're locked in. Watch weekly

19:51

on CBS Sports Network at 1

p.m. Eastern or on the CBS

19:55

Sports YouTube channel as we break

19:57

it all down fast and fresh.

19:59

This is triple threat where basketball

20:01

meets culture. Tonight we saved the

20:03

worst for last, the Chicago White

20:05

Sox. They had the worst record

20:07

in baseball last season, but They

20:09

have reason for hope. The Sox

20:11

troups the Los Angeles Angels, eight

20:13

to one on this opening day,

20:15

and they're now in first place.

20:17

Here's Chris Van Cleve. The Chicago

20:19

White Sox lost a record 121

20:21

games last year, making them the

20:23

worst team not only of last

20:25

season, but of the modern era.

20:27

Andrew Vaughn played first base. Nobody

20:29

wants to go through that. It's

20:31

tough on everybody. You've got to

20:33

learn from it and move on.

20:35

It's worth remembering success in baseball

20:37

depends on embracing failure. Getting a

20:39

hit one out of every three

20:41

at bats can get you into

20:43

this hall of fame. It's a

20:45

hard game, obviously built around failure

20:47

and I think a lot of

20:49

it is how you deal with

20:51

that, right? At 42 years old,

20:53

new manager Will Venable won a

20:55

World Series with Texas and will

20:57

now try to help the Southsiders

20:59

lose less. You got to find

21:02

ways to win games and losses

21:04

matter. Vennible and his white socks

21:06

let me suit up and step

21:08

onto their field at spring training.

21:10

I don't know whose idea this

21:12

was, but this should go terribly.

21:14

To take swings... Oh! Strike? Yes,

21:16

thank you. Any advice? Pick another

21:18

sport, because this one's hard. This

21:20

is the the hardest sport. There's

21:22

no other sport where you fail

21:24

as much. At a baby, no

21:26

turn, head snap. And consider the

21:28

pastime's honored truth. Got a lot

21:30

of work to do. No matter

21:32

how bad it's going. The best

21:34

thing you can do is just

21:36

keep getting up to bad. That's

21:38

a good ball. There

21:40

we go. we go.
