Were learning new details about the time line of the deadly ambush in niger. Four american soldiers were killed in the battle with isislinked militants. The chairman of the joint chiefs now says the u. S. Troops waited one hour to call for help. French air power arrived less than an hour after that. Major garrett is at the white house with the growing questions surrounding the mission. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. From his earlier days in office, President Trump has encouraged battlefield commanders to conduct more counterterrorism operations, gather intelligence, engage the enemy. All while promising minimal secondguessing from washington. That approach may face its greatest and deadliest test in niger. With senator john mccain and others asking for more answers and hinting about investigations. Cap yn you tell the public w happened . Reporter President Trump ignored the questions monday about the mission in niger. His top military adviser general Joseph Dunford denied the pentagon was withholding any information. I think we owe the American People transparency incidents and we continue to deliver just that. Reporter dunford released some basic details. October 3rd, 12 american soldiers joined 30 fighters on the Mission North of the nations capital. A day later, the group came under attack from approximately 50 welltrain and wellequipped militants associated with or inspired by isis. Gunfire waged for more than an hour before the americans radioed for help. Within minutes, a surveillance drone was overhead. It was another hour before french air cover arrived. Staff Sergeant Brian black, Jeremiah Johnson and Justin Wright were killed in action and evacuated that evening. The body of la David Johnson wasnt recovered until two days later. Questions about it, why four men died. Reporter Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman john mccain said americans want to know what went wrong and what the mission was about. Along with those answers, dunford vowed to find out why johnson was separated from his unit. Every time i asked to see my husband, they wouldnt let me. Reporter mired in a dispute with the president over his condolence call to her, she says she has as many questions as anybody. I dont know how he got killed, where he got killed or anything. Reporter dunford said pentagon policy allows families to see the remains of a fallen loved one if they so desire. Dunford said he did not know if johnsons widow was denied that right but would find out. Through all of this, the white house has deferred to the pentagon investigation. But pressure is building on the commander in chief to demand answers or, at minimum, try to provide them. Major, thank you. President trump will meet with Senate Republicans at the capital in a few hours. At 10 00 a. M. Pacific time to lay out his priorities for tax reform. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill right now where the president s opposition to the proposal may complicate this effort. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. One of the things that republicans have been mulling over is how to pay for all of these cuts they want to make to corporate and individual taxes. One idea they came up with was capping the amount that workers can contribute to their 401ks. But as soon as that was reported, President Trump publicly nixed it, tweeting on monday that the 401k is a popular middle class tax break that works and it stays. Now, this bill is still being drafted. So we still dont know if there are going to be three tax brackets or four. We dont know if the top bracket is going to come down or not. We also dont know whos going to fit in to what bracket so its really hard to say right now whether a middle income earner would pay the same rate that they do currently or a lower one. We do know that republicans have said they are not going to touch the mortgage deduction or the deduction for charitable giving. All of this, however, is moot, if congress does not pass a budget soon. That is a prerequisite for tax reform. And the president urged the house in a phone call over the weekend to just go ahead and pass the budget that was passed by the senate last week. But some conservatives are bulking. They worry that a 1. 5 trillion price tag is just too high. Its going to add too much to the deficit. Charlie. Thank you so much, nancy. Police in tampa, florida, are intensifying their hunt for a possible serial killer it dozens of officers are patrolling around the clock, looking for anything suspicious. Theyre also warning residents not to travel by themselves. Three people were shot and killed in the past two weeks while walking alone in the same neighborhood. Omar villa fran ka on efforts to keep people safe. Reporter not only have police increased patrols in this neighborhood, theyre also handing out light bulbs so residents can keep their front porch lights on. City crews are going around and fixing street lamps. The goal is to get rid of dark spots where someone could hide. Residents say theyre not relaxing until a suspect is caught. Can you tell maybe the audience some tips so those people who have to go to work at night who may have to walk at night, what they can do to be safe . Reporter anxious for answers about a possible serial killer still on the loose we keep saying one person . We think one person, but isnt this kind of of what we would see with a gang . Reporter roughly 400 people packed into an Elementary School auditorium monday evening to hear any updates from city officials. We filmed him. We saw him walking. We noticed that person. So why was he not walking was he walking to a home . Reporter there are also questions concerning this Surveillance Video showing a man police say they want to talk to. He was walking in the area when one of the three victims, benjamin mitchell, was murdered. Theres a very good likelihood that someone in this room knows whos doing it. Reporter police chief brian dugan wasnt ready to dismiss anyone in the community as a potential suspect or even a person of interest. This pains me to tell you that if youre out there walking alone, that youre either a suspect or a potential victim. Reporter tampa mayor bob buckhorn didnt hold back in pleading for the publics help. We need you to call us and let us know whats going on. Thats how were going to catch this guy. And we will hunt this son of a [ bleep ] down until we find him. Reporter police are also urging any homeowners with security cameras to turn over any footage of suspicious activity. With halloween just around the corner, parents are worried, but the police chief said police will be flooding this area and even hell be out on patrol. Omar, thank you.

Former fox news Host Bill Oreilly used his podcast last night to fire back at a New York Times report on payouts for Sexual Harassment claims. The tooips says that six women received settlements totaling about 35 million from oreilly or 21st century fox. Oreilly says he is mad at god over misconduct allegations. Anna warner is here with how he is hitting back. Good morning. Bill oreilly says he wants the story to go away but went public to defend himself, telling those listening he did nothing wrong. Anybody who doesnt like me will believe all the stuff. That the smear merchants put out. Because they want to believe it. Reporter bill oreilly fired back against Sexual Harassment allegations last night on his podcast. Am i mad at god . Yeah, im mad at him. I wish i had more protection. Reporter the New York Times reported oreilly agreed to pay former fox news legal analyst lis wiehl a stunning 32 million after she claimed he repeatedly sexually harassed her. She signed a affidavit renouncing the allegations. Oreilly couldnt comment on the settlement but said this. Ive never had a complaint filed against me anywhere by anyone. Reporter statements like that drew this response from former fox news host megyn kelly. Oreillys suggestion that no one ever complained about his behavior is false. I know because i complained. Reporter kelly says she sent an email to her bosses at fox after oreilly was asked about her allegations of Sexual Harassment against roger ailes on cbs this morning. Sexual harassment, youre not interested in Sexual Harassment . Im not interested in basically litigating something that is finished, that makes my network look bad, okay. Im not interested in making my network look bad at all. That doesnt interest me one bit so apparently she complained to someone. Thats not a formalint. It wasnt lodged with anybody. I didnt even know about it. Reporter speaking to the times last week, oreilly was defiant. This is bull [ bleep ], bull [ bleep ]. Reporter after the interview, with microphones still recording, oreilly said the controversy was taking a toll. This is horrible. Its horrible what i went through. Horrible what my family went through. This is crap and you know it. Reporter yesterday, oreilly posted thank you notes on his website for megyn kelly and former fox host Gretchen Carlson from the time when they worked together. In kellys note, she called oreilly a true friend and mentor and carlson writes, thank you so much for supporting me. Thank you for being my friend. Carlson responded on twitter to all of this, saying, so what, still paid 32 million. Carlson settled with fox for 21 million after alleging Sexual Harassment by former chief roger ailes. Megyn kelly claims she reported oreillys behavior to fox before he was ousted. We reached out to the company but have not heard before, norah. Anna, thank you.

And it puts me at higher risk of stroke. That would be devastating. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. Once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. Xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Oncedaily xarelto®, a latestgeneration blood thinner. Significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Xarelto® works differently. Warfarin interferes with at least 6 bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. For afib patients wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If youve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. And before starting xarelto®about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Its important to learn all you can. To help protect yourself from a stroke.

Here are three things you should know this morning. There are new details on the type of weapon that u. S. Soldiers were carrying when they were ambushed in niger. General dunford said they were given machine guns and small arms because it was thought to be a lowrisk mission. They were attacked by rockets, small arms and machine guns. Chinas president xi jinping is that countrys most powerful ruler in decades. Chinas communist party just put his name in the constitution. The party amended it this morning to include the xi jinping thought of socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. It puts him on the same level as communist chinas founder. The new York State Attorney general is launching a sifl rights investigation of the weinstein company. Eric schneidermans Office Issued a subpoena for company records. He wants to know if any weinstein employees at headquarters faced discrimination or harassment. Weinstein was fired from the Company Earlier this month. More than 6 0 women have accused him of abuse. Harvey weinsteins former assistant at miramax is breaking her nondisclosure agreement, telling the Financial Times that weinstein requested a massage while in his underwear. He asked for a bath and tried to wake her up. She split a settlement with miramax for 425 and signed a nondisclosure agreement in 199. Miramax is not commenting. Harvey weinstein has denied all allegations. Rikki klieman joins us at the table to discuss. Hello. Lets talk about Zelda Perkins breaking the nondisclosure agreement. Who does that hurt now . We have to look at the fact there are two types of nondisclosure agreements. If either of them are broken, theres a possibility of damages. We all basically sign a nondisclosure agreement in a company that says that if we leave a company that we are not going to disparage that company, were not going to give away trade secrets, were not going to say bad things. Well put that to one side. Now well look at the Sexual Harassment, abuse, possibly assault nondisclosure agreements. What happens in those are two people, the perpetrator and the victim, agree to a contract. And what they say is the woman well use woman for sake of the consideration the woman gets the money but she must remain quiet. She must never say anything. And the company may or may not have to disclose that agreement. And the perpetrator or the company pays the money. Now, what happens to Zelda Perkins . If you violate a confidentiality agreement, youve broken a contract. So, you might have to pay the money back and there might be clauses where you have to pay damages. Lots of people sign nondisclosure agreements. If you sign a nondisclosure agreement and you are sexually harassed or assaulted, what are your rights . You do have rights. We dont think that in any way a non a confidentiality agreement, also known as nondisclosure agreement, totally silenceses you because of the court system. Perfect example. Bill cosby and andrea, who was the victim, who testified against bill cosby in the criminal trial, she kept her confide confident agreement. Once a judge ordered her to testify, of course she can testify. You also dont have to say, if i sign a confidean agreement, you protected by going to the police first or equal Opportunity Employment Commission first. There comes a time you can talk about the cause, you just cant talk about your case. But many people feel they have been used to cover up a crime, to keep it silent. Well, you cannot be paid to cover up a crime. So, these become very touchy negotiations if its sexual assault. You cannot be a lawyer and advise someone that take the money and dont go forward and prosecute. Thats a crime. But in the case with bill oreilly and lis wiehl, the New York Times has reported that it was because he allegedly sent gay porn to her and that there was a nonconsensual sexual relationship. Isnt that a crime . Is it may or may not be a crime. The thing is that this is a private agreement between lis wiehl and bill oreilly were given reason to believe happened and in your experience, 32 million, is that an unusually large sum . Unusual. Takes my breath away. Absolutely takes my breath away. And would suggest what . That she had some sort of evidence or something that was really yes, of course. In fact, we know that they are supposed to, as part of that the fear to give up 32 million. You must have feared something. All physical evidence is to be destroyed. Voice mail, documents, text, anything they might have had. Thank you. A landmark study Shows Parents and the babys secret genetic makeup. Why many parents dont want to do it.

It could lead to gene scans for all infants at birth. By law all newborns gets a blood test for 30 conditions. A trial under way at Brigham Young and Womens Hospital screens for other conditions, including cancer. By testing babies long before they show symptoms, doctors hope to start treatment early. That could save lives and prevent suffering and also raises questions of privacy and discrimination, thats a major reason why most families are still saying, no thanks. Is it a flower . Reporter the day after their daughter cora was born is it daddy . Good job. Reporter lauren and her husband kyle got an unexpected visit from a genetic counselor. Was in full recovery mode as in, i dont care about anything. Im just trying to keep our baby alive. And recover myself. Reporter the visitor offered a free dna scan for cora. A scan that the stetsons learned could cause diseasecausing variations in their daughters code. I was trying to make it through the day, so that was definitely something a little shocking. Reporter baby cora is now one of the first healthy kids in america to have had her genome searched for hidden problems. Doctors found a partial biotinidase, something she did not show signs. Had not been detected she could have had a drop in iq. She would have been normal. Reporter dr. Robert green is a medical geneticist at harvard and codirector of the project which enrolled cora and rethe kruting hundreds of other families. You could potentially save a babys life . Absolutely. Reporter but hes also teaching them about the risks, including breecaches of privacy and discrimination. We cant predict whether theres some sort of privacy breaches, this information gets out and used against your child in some sort of future scenario. And most importantly, we cant predict the informations accurate. Reporter many variations turn out to be harmless. Even if not, most of the conditions dr. Greens team is looking for still have no cure. What makes you comfortable telling people about illnesses they cant treat . I would have to say im not 100 comfortable with it. What were really trying to do in this study is ask the question, how beneficial or harmful is it to go down this road . Reporter baby cora is beating her condition, thanks to a daily vitamin mixed into some yogurt. Super mom. Reporter youre talking extended family members . And yet nine out of ten families approached by dr. Green and his team have declined the testing. People are distrustful of information gathering. Theyre hearing about all these breakins and hacks. Im afraid a lot of people are turning down the possibility of this information at this time because they just dont trust the future. Big steps. Reporter but dr. Green believes the fear is temporary. And before long, most americans will feel much like the stetsons do already. I always think more knowledge is power. So, anyone who is wavering, i think, even though there is scary, i think its more scary to play the guessing game. Reporter now you want to get your son tested as well . I would love to do that. Its part of a 25 million effort funded by the National Institutes of health. The genetic Data Collected will be housed in an academic lab and participants do have to consent to having it uploaded to a federal database for possible future research. The results of the Current Study expected in the next couple of years will help doctors and lawmakers decide how to use this technology responsibly. I would say, i would do it, all things considered. Knowledge is power. I agree, knowledge is power. The more they are finding out, the more possibilities there are to miss certain diseases, sickle cell anemia is one theyre finding out a lot about.

Good morning to our viewers in the west, it is tuesday, october 24, 2017. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Ahead, well talk with republican senator bob corker about tax cuts and the budget process. A process he calls meaningless. Plus the 50 seasons of 60 minutes. Executive producer is in studio 57 with a behind the scenes look at the biggest moments in televisions most influential broadcast. First, heres todays eye opener at 8. Severe weather threatens more than 30 million pe the northeast. The system battered the par. Take a look at this right here behind me, planes flipped over and cars on top of each other. The pentagon investigation and pressure is building on the commander in chief to demand answers. President trump will meet with Senate Republicans at the capitol today to lay out his priorities for tax reform. Republicans have been mulling over how to pay for all of these cuts. Police increased patrols in this neighborhood. The goal is to get rid of dark spots where someone could hide. The residents say theyre not relaxing until a suspect is caught. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid90s and could hit 100 degrees. If that happens that will make it the hottest world series on record. It was revealed this week that Justin Bieber has covered his entire torso with an elaborate tattoo. Like i needed another good reason to stare deeply into biebers abs, but theres so much going on and look at that. Look. Its like he walk into a Tattoo Parlor and was, like, yeah, ill take all of those. Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. The northeast is bracing for a powerful line storms that could bring heavy rain, wind and flooding. More than 30 Million People are under a Severe Weather threat. New york city and philadelphia are both in the line of the storms. The system pounded the carolinas and parts of virginia yesterday. At least nine possible tornadoes were reported including one in hickory, North Carolina. It tore through the local airport there flipping a small plane and damaging hangars. Heavy rain caused flooding in parts of the region. Waters covered cars in North Carolina. President trump erupted on twitter before a capitol hill meeting with Senate Republicans to discuss tax reform. The president bashed a republican critic, senator bob corker, and senator corker hit him right back. The president tweeted that corker, who will retire from the senate after next year, quote, couldnt get elected dog catcher in tennessee. Corker then told reporters in strong terms that the president is untruthful. You guys can easily check whatsd and know that much of what he says isnt true, but all of it is untrue and some of that youll be able to check. I think the worst of it is going to be just the basing, if you will, of our nation. I think that will be the contribution that hurts our nation most. Do you think the president is defacing the nation . I dont think theres any question that thats the case just in the way that he conducts himself and he goes to such a low level. The feud broke out shortly after we spoke with senator corker earlier this morning. We start the interview by his comments to the New York Times come which he said the threat was reckless and could put the world on a path toward world war iii. Its a shame that the white house has become an adult day care. Good morning. Good to be with you. You laid it all out there. Were just getting started. I know and now the president s coming to capitol hill to talk with you guys about tax reform today. I know youve said you think the president should step aside from this process. Is he being a distraction . Are the comments that hes making, the tweets making it harder to get tax reform done . Well, weve got one thing thats not talked about in this process enough is we have 4 trillion worth of loopholes, credits. Weve got things that have to be closed. This is what the American People want. They want tax reform that makes it simple for them to fill out their tax returns, but if you keep taking those things off the table in advance then you really dont have a path to get to this 4 trillion number which is important to do whats been laid out and i would let the Tax Writing Committee do their work. I think both the house and senate have done a lot of preliminary work and stay out of taking things off the table and negotiating against the process before it even begins. I understand what youre saying because there is a suggestion by republicans on capitol hill that its time to cap the contributions for 401 k s by wealthy americans. The president said yesterday in a tweet there will be no change. That seems to be hurting the process, youre saying. Again, there are a number of other things. There was the state and local deductions and people moving away from that. So, look, its not religion to me which ones we close or not close at this point, but we need to leave everything on the table to be successful and when you begin on the front end taking things off it makes it more difficult. I hope we can be successful. I hope we can create Economic Growth and i hope to do so without in any way increasing the deficit which is the greatest threat to america right now. Senator, the former president george bush, george w. Bush, bush 43, former senator and president barack obama have all spoken about the country and the mood of the country. Without naming the president they seem to be doing what you also have spoken about, the fitness of the president and what are your concerns about this president . Well, look, i this is ive gotten to know the president in a very unique way over the course of the last year, and i guess, like all americans, i would have hope that he would rise to the occasion and bring out the best in our nation, charlie. Hopefully what president s do is to try to bring the country together, to unify around common goals and not to debase our country, if you will and that has not happened and im be goning to believe that its not going to happen and i think thats what president bush and president obama and it appears to be the governing model of th white house to purposely divide. Thats what happened after the virginia incident and its to consolidate the base and not to bring people together and to bring out the better angels of the people in our country. This is a great nation and without us doing that it not only affects us and future generations, but it affects the world and so i hope i dont really hold out a lot of hope, but i hope that somehow a little bit different course of action could be taken. We keep hearing privately, senator corker that many people feel the way you do. Whats being done about it on capitol hill . We are separate and equal branches, but theres tremendous power that resides in the white house. One of the things were doing beginning a week from this coming monday night, we will begin to walk through a series for the use of military force and what powers the president has, talk about some of the international alignments that we have that are very important to our country, making the American People even more aware of some of the destructive things that are happening. So, you know, thats one thing we can do and it can also be a check legislatively, but look, an individual in that particular position has tremendous power to set the tone for our country, and unfortunately, its being set in a way they think its not bringing out the best in the citizens that we treasure in the country. Im doing the best i can without, you know, trying to do so in a statesmanlike manner, and ink this is shared by many americans. Is it easy for you to speak out the way you do because youre not running . I spoke out before i announced i wasnt running. I think everybodys aware of that. Its been building for some time. I made very strong comments after the incident in virginia when, again, it felt like the president was just trying to consolidate a base of people that do so in a way that i thought was very inappropriate and even before ive made comments and its been building for some time. I came up here on a twoterm mission. I told people in tennessee that i couldnt imagine serving more than two terms. I have felt independence the entire time ive been in the senate. Thank you, senator. Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you. Airman at a Colorado Air Force base are ready to warn the world about threats from space and well a dry and hot day but no clouds in sight.

How the air force is defending america thousands of miles above earth. Diana, good morning. That space junk is quite dangerous traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. The u. S.

Inside each of these weatherresistant domes, sits a 60foot satellite dish. It scans the planet for the most dangerous weapons. Many people think we have missiles inside.

It affects 4 billion users worldwide. What kind of thing do you know that affects that many on the globe . Financial transaction, and farming equipment all rely on Precision Timing from gps, and that makes these satellites a prime target for our adversaries. Is an attack on a satellite an act of war . It depends on the context. Let me state we do not want to extend into a fight into space. Satellites proud our nation with great capability and great advantage. It would be something we would be very concerned about. What keeps you up at night . There isnt much that keeps me up at night. There really isnt. Im extremely confident in the airmen that i leave.

It has shattered enough ratings records to be called historys most successful program. Heres a look at some of its half a century highlights. Good evening, this is 60 minutes. Where did it come from . Kind of a magazine for television. Congressman. What . No, i dont want to do 60 minutes. Id like you to get out of here. Stop the interview for a minute. Answer some questions. Oh, great. I want to ask you about the tweeting youre not very popular in the country right now, to be frank. Youre right. I dont care what they say. I shouldnt say that on tv. Mr. President look. Theyre not happy with the way youre doing your job. This is a tough business. Why is it taking so long . Now in his 14th year as executive producer of 60 minutes. His new book is 50 years of 60 minutes the inside story of televisions most influential and a division of cbs. Good morning, great to have you. Good to be here. Like coming home. Interesting for you to say that. I want to know are you more proud of what youve done for 60 minutes or creating this broadcast which has a remarkable record in morning television. Were also proud of this broadcast. Its my second favorite broadcast on television. We want to make it your first. We want to make it your first. Lets be clear. Lets go to where it is now because you have said not only did we want to do good story telling, we want to make sure that we are as a broadcast relevant and timely. Its so important. I think its a big part of what we try to do is to be current. And thats not always easy because we like to do a lot of reporting in advance of when we go on the air. It takes months sometimes to do it, but you can predict what the big stories are. This opioid scandal with the dea was a huge story for us. We worked on it for months. It was really a fantastic, i think, example of what we tried to do. That story is not over for 60 minutes. Just based on what we hear. We hope to have that kind of impact. A lot of times we judge ourselves on the investigative reporting. Lets talk about how it started, jeff. It was bumpy in the beginning. It was 75th out of 81 programs. Which i just and it was not always on sunday nights. No, it actually started on tuesday. And moved all around the place. This is 1968. It was on every other week. It wasnt even on every week and taken off the air and put on the air. And, eventually, it settled in at 7 00 on sunday in 1975. And it was bouncing around all that time. It was new. It was still new. And it was mike wallace and dan rather joined. That first sunday 7 00 and from then on it took off. The thinking has always been dont talk down to the viewers but dont assume they know as much as they do. Which is interesting. One of the founders of cbs news and donahuewit hammered it into us. Understand that we dont underestimate our viewer, ever. I think we like to do smart stories. We like to do important stories and we always want them to get a better understanding of the world because of what were reporting. Talk about some of the correspondents you have worked with. Some of the greats, really. Its amazing. I mean, beginning with donahuewit, actually. Because hes a big part of this book and hes a huge part of our story and wouldnt happen without him. Just a creative genius. He said something memorable. All we do here can be summed up in four words. Go tell a story. He was an amazing character. Full of life. Larger than life. And he was a great editor, as well. Really good story teller. And i think thats a huge part of what we have become. Why we became that. And mike wallace joining us up with donahuewit and, my gosh you said that was lennon and mccarthy. Thats right. I do. I compare them to lennon and mccarthy. It was those two unique characters that had so much to do and today, still, with how we operate and the way we approach stories and mike, you know, you know, charlie because he explained his interviewing techniques to you, i think, and actually complimenting you at the time. How to get to the truth in an interview, which is not easy to do. Especially if someone doesnt want the truth out. So, and, also, what a rascal. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He and i tell stories in the book about mike because he was so much fun to be around. And at the same time, so difficult. A combination of the two. And, you know, always in the halls very much like he was on the air which was if he gained a few pounds, he would make sure you knew it. And if he didnt like your story on sunday night, hed tell you that, too. If he liked it no, go ahead. Lets talk about morally, morally brought something really different and part of, i think, why he because he was such a great writer. So, his stories were built around the pros and i think part of that was because mike wallace started stealing stories from him. And he had to come up you said mike was a tough competit competitor. He morally had to come up with something that was unique. He did. The kind of whimsical tale and adventure he would take. Bradley mentioned as a joke that he would change his name, which i think is hilarious. At a place like cbs. You mentioned both norah and charlie in the book which i was very touched by and well deserved. You said this about charlie, part of why he succeeds comes across as well read and he is all that and more. Is he . He is, jeff baker . I love charlie rose. We all do. But you said 60, despite its success, is still evolving. It is evolving. I think that we are more irrelevant on the news today than we were for many years and i think thats important today. But, you know, the fundamentals havent changed over all these years and i think thats a big part of the success. Well, let me just say, you add, there is aneft in the editing room to make sure youve got it right and you have been fair. Yes. Yes. And, also, in i think the process is so interesting about how rigorous the process is before something makes it on the air. Yes. With you at the helm of that, which oprah was praising here just last week. It can be intense. Oprah said it is very daunting. You said like being at Yankee Stadium as a rookie pitching and batting for the first time. She said it was very intense. One of the first screenings the light came on after and he said, where do you want a kid . Right between the eyes. He wasnt pleased. That is sometimes how it feels. But in a good way. Its not personal. Its direct. I think a lot of that translates on the air. But in the interest of fairness and accuracy, it should be intense. Well, bravo to you, jeff, because they only had two people at the helm. Donahuewit and you. Donahuewit never wrestled we were fortunate enough to be with putin for the interview that charlie did, which was so memorable. Who won .

Best selling author john grisham doesnt stay away from Current Events in his novel happy hot tuesday to all of you. It will not even be cool along the water today with temperatures well above average and heres what you can expect, 20 degrees above where we should be with recordbreaking conditions and offshore winds from the east bringing humidity levels down and the temperatures way up. Napa and santa rosa expected to break records with temperatures in the mid90s. 87 in San Francisco. John grisham is known as the master of the legal thriller. 30 consecutive number one New York Times fiction best sellers. He sold more than 300 million copies of his books worldwide. Now hes out with his 25th legal thriller. He calls it the rooster bar. It explores the world of forprofit law schools for a group of students who learn their school is owned by a Shady Hedge Fund operator. John grisham joins us at the table. This is the second time as norah pointed out, two in a year. Two is too many. One is enough. When theyre like this, i dont know if two is too many. Keep them coming. Lets talk about the rooster bar. The genesis is you read an article in the atlantic and you thought, what, this is it was an investigative peegs published three years ago and i stumbled across it. I was not familiar with forprofit law schools. I was not really familiar with the student debt crisis. And the article really opened my eyes. It was a great piece but also a troubling issue. I started researching. And the novel was quickly born from that. As you point out, the American Bar Association says there are currently six forprofit law schools in this country with accreditation. One is the Charlotte School of law, which recently closed. Closed in august. They had problems for a long time. Not all the schools are shady. There are a lot of Success Stories from these schools, but the levels of debt that these students incur, and then they pass it off in the form of high tuition to people making a profit. That just struck me as being wrong. And the high number of the debt, too, i was surprised. I assume you researched those as real figures, 266,000, 191,000. Gayle, my research is always shaky. Dont believe dont believe everything you read, okay . But, no, those numbers are not far off. You can borrow 75,000 bucks a year for three years to go to law school. 40,000, 50,000 goes for tuition, goes straight to the owners of the law school. And you can borrow 20,000 bucks to live off. Thats 75,000 a year you can borrow easy. Without giving the whole novel away, to tell people, you essentially have a number of students in the book. And theyre facing a mountain of debt. And they go after the Hedge Fund Operator whos making a profit off it. Looking for revenge. They cant find jobs, which is fairly accurate with a lot of these schools. A lot of these graduates. Their prospects of passing the bar exam are rather dim. Because the school isnt a great school. Its not a great school, no. Its foggy bottom law school. I mean, how about that name . Its a real name, foggy bottom. I didnt make that up. Theres a law school at foggy bottom, by the way. Its a very good law school. Okay. Are you going to princeton tomorrow to look at the f. Scott fitzgerald manuscripts. The book came out and we had not contacted princeton before the publ occasion it was about that. I didnt go there. I didnt see the library. I claimed all that. Research. Normal research. You didnt tell them you were doing it. I wanted to but i was advised not to warn princeton this book was coming. They cant do anything about it. I didnt warn them. And about a month or so after the book came out i got a nice letter from the head librarian at princeton saying we love your books, couldnt visit us. So im going tomorrow to see the fitzgerald manuscripts and visit on campus. Can i point out, you never have a preface. I like that. Why do you not have a preface in any of your books . I just dont like them. Normally they dont work. When you start, its sort of a gimmick a lot of writers do to get your attention, sucked in, and then they move away from it and leave you hanging. Thats not how i tell stories. I like to start with the first chapter, end with chapter 40. Nothing flashy. Just direct storytelling. We had jeff fager here, 60 minutes is about telling a story. You tell fictional stories. Whats at the heart of a good story . Well, conflict, suffering, injustice. Romance . Well, i dont do sex very well. Why not . Yeah, exactly. Sex is good, john grisham. Most men cannot write sex. Is that true . Oh, yeah. Most men cannot write good sex. I tried one time years ago, showed it to my wife who started laughing. Were hitting a hard wall. Charlies talking about sex. Thank you so much. Hard wall here, guys. Congratulations the rooster bar is on sale today. Youre watching cbs this morning. Fety well, that does it oh, you brought butch.
