Florida lawmakers are taking the first steps toward raising the age limit to buy the kind of rifle used to kill 17 people at marjory Stoneman Douglas high school. President trump did not mention that proposal yesterday when he met with the group of governors, including floridas rick scott. The president has encouraged the idea of putting him on a collision course with the National Rifle association. But he told the governors that sometimes elected officials have to fight the nra. The president has also talked with republican congressional leaders who are less interested in gun control fight. Major garrett is at the white house, where mr. Trump also added to criticism of the Police Response to the florida shooting. Good morning, major. Good morning. President trump wants to move on some gun restrictions but the Republicanled Congress fearful of antagonizing its base isnt budging. In part because it sees the president s low Approval Ratings and wonders if he can provide any practical political cover. Meanwhile, in a conversation here yesterday with just under 40 governors, the president s idea of Arming School personnel with concealed weapons met pockets of resistance. They werent exactly medal of honor winners. Reporter President Trump lashed out at Broward County sheriffs deputies who have been accused of responding too slowly at the school during the shooting. The way they performed was, frankly, disgusting. Reporter mr. Trump said he would have gone in. I really believe id run into even if i didnt have a weapon. Reporter the president told a gathering of governors that nra executives assured him during a lunch over the weekend that they, quote, want to do something. Dont worry about the nra. Theyre on our side. Reporter Senate Minority leader schumer said the nra cannot be trusted. My republican friends face a simple choice. Do Something Real on guns or please the nra. Doing both is impossible. Reporter the president is pushing a controversial nra supported proposal, Arming School personnel to deter or repel potential killers. They have to know. They walk in, theyre going to probably end up dead. Reporter but washington governor jay inslee, a democrat, said teachers and members of Law Enforcement from his state opposed the idea. Educators who educate should not be foisted upon this responsibility of packing heat in first grade classes. We need a little less tweeting here, a little more listening and lets just take that off the table and move forward. Reporter in a rare public speech, First Lady Melania Trump praised the students who have taken to streets to call for gun restrictions. Many of which the president has opposed. They are our future and they deserve a voice. Reporter Republican Leaders on the hill foresee no gun action this weekend. And the only piece of legislation that appears to has a chance would incentivize better participation in the existing background check system. That bill called fix nics, however, would not expand background checks to internet or gun show sales. Important point there, major, thank you so much. A state Senate Committee has passed floridas first gun control bill in decades. It calls for all gun buyers to be 21 years old and go through a threeday waiting period. An amendment to ban assaultstyle weapons failed to pass. Hundreds of protesters rallied outside the State Capitol during yesterdays debate. Lawmakers have until next friday to take a final vote. The sheriffs deputy criticized by the president says waiting outside the school was the right move. Scot pete erson made his first Public Statement yesterday nearly a week after he was suspended and then resigned. Manual bojorquez. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Scot petersons Attorney Says allegations his client is a coward and failed to meet the standards of Police Officers are, quote, patently untrue. He says petersons heart goes out to the families of the 17 victims and he wishes he could have prevented their deaths. Broward county sheriffs Deputy Peterson is push back against some of his biggest critics including President Trump. We saw peterson standing outside of that school. He wanted no part of it. Reporter and Broward County sheriff scott israel. I was disgusted. I was just demoralized with the performance of former Deputy Peterson. Reporter in a statement defending his actions, petersons Attorney Says his client initially received a call of firecrackers and not gunfire. And ran to the threestory building where the shooting occurred. Thats where peterson heard gunshots but believed they were coming from outside. Consistent with his training, mr. Peterson took up a tactical position at a corridor or corner between two nearby buildings. Radio transmissions about a possible victim by the football field served to confirm mr. Petersons belief that the shooter or shooters were outside. When theres over 100 rounds being fired from inside of one building, you know where those rounds are coming from. Reporter Broward Sheriffs Office Deputies Association president jeff bell is critical of petersons claims and points to the 1999 cliolumbine massacr that changed how Law Enforcement responded to active shooters. With columbine, it was a long time before the s. W. A. T. Team got there and we lost innocent lives because of that delay. Were now trained that we cant wait for s. W. A. T. Anymore. So the First Arriving units on scene, you got to make that decision to go in. Reporter petersons attorney said peterson is the one who initiated a code red lockdown at the school and told administrators to review camera footage to identify the shooter. The Sheriffs Office declined to comment on petersons claim, saying his conduct remains part of an ongoing internal investigation. John. Manuel, thanks. A fascinating investigation. Also more context to how difficult it is in these moments not just fear or not fear but different procedures you can follow. Decisions to be made. Tough. One Stoneman Douglas student survived to tell her story thanked to a First Responders split second decision. When police found 17yearold Maddy Wilford inside a classroom, they thought she was dead. Bullet wounds to chest, abdomen and arm. A rescue crew told hto take her to a hospital 30 minutes away. Until the fire lieutenant lazaro ojeda heard maddys voice. She told me she was 17. So at that point, i looked at will and i go will, were going to north broward, its only ten miles away. Id just like to say that im so grateful to be here and it wouldnt be possible without these officers and First Responders and these amazing doctors. The hospital where maddy had three operations practiced an active Shooter Drill last year. Shes expected to make a full recovery. In our next hour, another survivor of gun violence, House Republican whip Steve Scalice talks with us about his meeting with students from Stoneman Douglas high. People from louisiana to indiana are dealing with major flooding this morning. Heavy rain and melting snow caused rivers to rise to record highs, flooding home, and businesses. More rain is expected to start tonight. Flood watches and warningings are in effect all the way from texas to the great lakes. David begnaud is in downtown louisville where the flooding is the worst the city has seen in two decades. David, good morning. Reporter hey, norah, good morning. Among a lovely sunrise here in louisville, the waters receding along the ohio river. Thats the banner headline everybody is more than happy to here. February ended up being the wettest month ever. They got about 10 inches of rain in just five days. Heres what it did. Thats the ohio river. The river rose and as it did, the river swol, right. The water started to move into the city downtown. Youve got, parking garages here where vehicles are under water. Look how close the water is to the street signs. Its only about four or five feet under the traffic lights through downtown louisville. The ohio river has caused problems in aurora, indiana, where the water was so high on monday it reached the bottom of the football field goals and even the scoreboard. More than 70 rivers across the u. S. Are experiencing moderate to major flooding right now. Looking ahead, rain is expected in arkansas and mississippi tonight. And even tomorrow. And that could cause some flash flooding. Gayle, back here in louisville, they got about 40 billion gallons of rain that fell, 40 billion gallons of water that fell on the city of louisville over the last five days. Thats about the same amount of water that the city produces in ten years. Got it, david, your pictures really tell the story there, thank you very much. For the first time, we are seeing images of two of the four u. S. Soldiers killed by islamic militants in the african nation of niger last october. Newly released video showed Sergeant La David Johnson and Dustin Wright with their unit which also lost two other soldiers in the battle. David martin is at the pentagon with this story. David, good morning. Reporter good morning. The militarys investigation into the ambush has now been delivered to the secretary of defense for final review and is expected to be released to the public some time in march. Anybody can shoot a gun. Demos something else. A lot more fun. Reporter Staff Sergeant wright demonstrates how his team detonates weapons. While Sergeant La David Johnson, full of life, does back flips, sings and jokes with a nigerian soldier his team was training. Johnsons fulltime job was as a mechanic but he did double duty as a bearber. Something you havent been asked . Not yet, not yet. Reporter just three weeks later, on october 4th, johnson, wright and two other soldierings were ambushed and killed by terrorists. Johnsons body was not recovered for two days. Which speaks volumes to retired Brigadier General donald bolduc, the former commander of special operations in africa. There was most likely an element of suffer price that the patrol was overwhelmed quickly. Youre defending your country . Reporter special forces were in niger to train the local troops who according to their commander were chasing roaming bands of terrorists. Heading out on what was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance patrol but halfway through the patrol, the special forces were given another mission, check out a campsite where a wanted terrorist had been spotted a few days earlier. Going out, checking out an area that a high value target has just been in would be a, you know, highrisk mission. Reporter at a memorial service, one of their commanders said as the team was running out of ammunition and about to be overrun, they sent out a distress call once used during the vietnam war. Broken arrow. Norah. All right, david, thank you so much. New fighting in syria threatens a russianbacked humanitarian pause in a battle for the rebelheld area near the countrys capital. The Eastern Ghouta district has faced a deadly Bombing Campaign by the Syrian Government. Russia, syrias most powerful ally, ordered the daily fivehour pause in the fighting. More than 500 people have died in Eastern Ghouta since last week. Seth doane is now in damascus. Seth, good morning. Reporter good morning. Governmentheld areas of damascus have also been shelled by rebels lobbing mortars and it was reports of shelling on those humanitarian corridors today that may have thwarted efforts to evacuate civilians. Syrian state tv reporter was on live near one of the corridors when there was an explosion. Footage shows the road meant to be carrying evacuated civilians from ghouta has been quiet this morning. The plan had been to allow them to escape this the barrage of air strikes, bombs and shelling that have pounded this part of the capital for more than a week. It was a bit quieter overnight ahead of the planned russianbacked fivehour pause. But reports from this hell on earth are dire. The White Helmets posted this video of at least two small children being carried from the rubble of their home. They asked, where is mom . The u. N. Estimates as many as three quarters of private homes have been damaged. Civilians have caught refuge in cramped underground shelters where hospitals are still standing. They cant provide much help. A syrian doctor describes a catastrophic situation at her Field Hospital with exhausted hungry medical staff operating with depleted stocks. And seeing the unimaginable, dead bodies and terrible wounds, while hearing bombs dropping nearby. Those here in governmentheld areas in damascus are also tired and weary of this war. We were with one 15yearold boy last night as he checked facebook to see if school would be open today. It wouldnt have been closed for weather reasons but for war. Gayle. Boy, thank you very much, seth doane reporting from damascus. A 10,000 reward is being offered fo on the mysterious disappearance of a government scientist. Timothy cunningham is an epidemiologist at the centers for Disease Control and prevention in atlanta, georgia. He disappeared more than two weeks ago after he left work early saying he felt sick. Omar villafranca is near cunninghams home near atlanta with more on this mystery. Reporter cunningham is a disease detective with the cdc.

Im not so sure what else we can do with that area. Reporter his family found his wallet, his car, even his beloved dog, all left behind in his atlanta home. Timothy has been unaccounted for since the 12th. Reporter cunninghams father, terrell, drove from maryland to georgia after not hearing from his son for two days. His parents and other family members have been putting up missing posters throughout cunninghams neighborhood. And theyve tried to get the word out about his disappearance to the media. He has such a history of being so responsible and dependable that i think that is what puts us all at such disbelief. Reporter cunningham graduated from Morehouse College and earned advanced degrees from harvard. The 35yearold cdc scientist reportedly lived alone. His next door neighbor viviana tori said Cunningham Said something odd to her husband the day he disappeared. He told my husband to tell his wife, me, to erase his cell phone number from my cell phone. Reporter police do not suspect foul play. But they also say theyre exploring all possibilities.

White House Communications director hope hicks is testifying right now before the house intelligence committee. The closed door interview is part of the Ongoing Investigation into russian interference in the 2016 president ial election. Hicks was supposed to appear last month. But her interview was delayed over questions about what she could discuss. Its not clear if there are any limitations on todays testimony. Georgias Lieutenant Governor is threatening to retaliate against Delta Airlines for ending its nra discount program. Republican casey cagle tweeted this, i will kill any tax legislation that benefits delta unless the Company Changes its position. Delta appeared close to receiving a proposed 50 million tax break on jet fuel.

And sams club is rolling out its new same Day Delivery Program today in an effort to take on amazon. The warehouse retailer is offering the service for people in st. Louis, austin and the dallasft. Worth area. Sam club plans to expand the program to more cities later this year. Ryan seacrest is working as usual after his former stylist laid out her Sexual Harassment claims against him. Sea crest appeared this morning on live with kelly and ryan. He made no mention of the allegations against him. The woman told variety about numerous incidents of harassment and assault. Jericka duncan is here. Good morning, jericka. Good morning. The stylists attorney not fighted the E Television Network of the alleged misconduct back in november. It was seacrest himself who then took the allegations public, without naming hardy. He denied the claims. Hardy says results of an e investigation forced her to come forward now. Ryan seacrest is one of americas most recognizable tv personalities. But its his alleged actions off camera that are now putting him in the spotlight. In an interview with variety, seacrests former stylist susie hardy says she suffered years of unwanted sexual aggression by sea crest, saying he grinded against her while wearing only his underwear, globing her je. It left a welt when she got home. Reporter variety reporter Daniel Holloway spoke to hardy. Weve seen that photograph, variety as well. Reporter hardy says Human Resources for e asked her about her relationship with seacrest and she says she was fired after she told them what happened. This past november, saying she was emboldened by the me too movement, hardy had her lawyer send a letter to e details her allegations. The company hired outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation, which found insufficient evidence to substantiate allegations against seacrest. Hardy told variety e s investigation left her with a feeling of total exasperation, saying it was obvious the investigator was whitewashing it for seacrests side. We know the e investigator did not reach out to four people she referred to him who she said could help corroborate her story. Reporter e responded monday by saying its investigation was extremely comprehensive and thorough. Any claims that question the legitimacy of this investigation are completely baseless. Seacrests Attorney Says it is upsetting to us that variety is electing to run a story about untrue allegations. He added that hardy threatened to make false claims unless she was paid 15 million. A charge hardy and her lawyer told variety was untrue. We obviously wouldnt have published this story if we didnt feel that it was highly credible and highly compelling. Reporter hardys lawyer did not respond to our requests for comments. Seacrest is still scheduled to tape American Idol this weekend and host e s red carpet for the oscars on sunday. And the reboot of the new American Idol starts in a couple weeks too. Theres more to come im sure on this story, this isnt the last weve heard of it. Jericka, the e investigation, that was done by an outside law firm . We believe by an outside law firm. They interviewed multiple people. This woman says she was interviewed at least three times but claims she felt as though those investigators really were on the side of ryan seacrest. Got it, okay, thank you. Ivanka trump is drawing criticism for her answer to a question about the more than a dozen women who accused the president of sexual misconduct. The president s daughter said she should not be asked about the issue, even though shes also a senior white house adviser. I think its a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when hes affirmatively stated that theres no truth to it. I dont think thats a question you would ask many other daughters. Ivanka trump says she has a right to believe her fathers denials. Its so interesting on these questions of propriety in the Trump White House because President Trump came to office saying lets not be politically correct when its an important issue and ivanka trump said this is an important issue. She tweeted solidarity with Oprah Winfrey after her speech saying the times up movement, its important for us to rally together. I remember that i had the first interview with ivanka when the New York Times detailed many of these allegations and i asked her specifically about some of the groping allegations and she said, quote, my father is not a groper. Not a groper, i remember that. I remember that was a very Awkward Exchange because she clearly didnt want to answer it. I think nbc had the right to ask the question. Shes playing the daughter card but shes also a senior she also has an official role in the white house, which makes it a fair question to be asked. And she said lets not let propriety get in the way of talking about this times up movement and how you handle this investigation. Really interesting. Now to this story, could you phone secretly be listening to everything you say even when youre not on a call . Yes, it can. Its often that theyre seeing ads that they dont know how they possibly got there. Theyre about very private information that they didnt mean to reveal or didnt think they revealed to anyone. Up next, were looking into gayle kings phone and Tony Dokoupil looks at how much Information Companies collect about us and puts the smart phone to test. That investigation coming up on cbs this morning. New pantene lightasair foam conditioner, full of rich prov nutrients. And infused with air. For 100 conditioning, with 0 weight. Strong is beautiful. New pantene. Foam conditioner. Why is dark magic so spellbindingly good . Its a bold blend of coffee with rich flavors of uganda, sumatra, colombia and other parts of south america.

This spring, take on even the grimiest messes with the power of lysol kitchen and bathroom cleaners. Kills 99. 9 of germs with 0 bleach. Lysol. What it takes to protect. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe Crohns Disease. Then i realized something was missing. Me. My symptoms were keeping me from being there. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. I know just what some people cant shake the feeling that their phones may be picking up their conversations even when theyre not making the call. Recent headlines highlight how some consumers believe they could be getting ads just by chatting about products in normal conversation. To Tony Dokoupil did some research of his own. Reporter if youre getting ads for things you never searched for online, you may thi think a company is listening in. Companies know so much about you already, they probably dont need to eavesdrop. So you have this feeling that your phone is listening to you . Definitely. Reporter sam is sure she gets ads from facebook and google from things she only mentioned out loud. I didnt write that in my email. I didnt check it out online yet. Its just popping up, kind of weird. Reporter weird enough to convince her the companies are eavesdropping through her phones microphone. But are they . I think its very, very unlikely reporter sandy is a former Facebook Operations manager. He says constant streams from so many phones would be too expensive to gather and analyze and all the data would drive up peoples phone bills. Beside, he says, companies dont have to listen to know whats on your mind. They know a tremendous amount about you. That enables them to make guesses about what to advertise to you that can be uncannily accurate. Reporter thats because they already mine a Cross Section of Personnel Data including almost everything we post, share and search for online. For the last few years, its gotten more invasive. I think it continues in that direction unless we stop it. This is our homepage. Reporter Gabriel Weinberg has been trying to do just that through his company duck duck go. He opened might google account to demonstrate just how much information has been collected about me. It knows i came to duck duck go today. This is just yesterday, 159 different items theyve tracked you across, ad search, map, youtube, books. Reporter google says it has access to 70 of credit and debit Card Transactions in the united states. Along with facebook and others, it also monitors much of what were doing across the web. Using hidden tracking technologies, the companies can see many of the pages you and people connected to you are visiting. Allowing them to better tailor their ads. According to the author of one study, google has trackers on 76 of websites. While Facebook Watch us on 23 of sites. Would you say that the advertising model for the internet is based on a breach of privacy . I think it has passed that level for facebook and google. Reporter how so . In that people dont realize that they can be targeted to the degree that they are. Reporter but people like bill can watch the watchers. Theres all this data its sending out. Reporter we asked the security researcher from the Electronic Frontier foundation to help us with a test. Maybe youll find a deal out there for a cuisinart coffee maker. We discussed several house hold products while he monitored activity on a nearby cell phone, watching for any secret audio transmissions. So from what youre able to see today, bottom line, has that phone been listening to our conversation . We havent seen any audio recordings being sent. Reporter and we never saw ads for the products we discussed either. Yet even if companies are listening to people as sam nguyen suspects she tells us shes not overly concerned. Were any of the ads helpful . A few actually. Reporter she says an upside to advertisers knowing her so well. It is creepy for sure, it is very creepy, but im not completely, like, oh, my god this is terrible. Reporter google and facebook have both denied using cell phone microphones to collect information for ads. In a statement, google wrote, we do not use ambient sound from any device to target ads. While facebook did not respond to our request for comment it previously said, we show ad based on peoples interests and other profile information, not what youre talking about out loud. But the fact remains, they know so much about us already, they dont need to listen in. So its just a coinkydink if were having a conversation and then it appears on the phone. Do you believe that now . I do believe that because as one of the experts pointed out to me, our phones are gathering so much about us that we volunteer, its almost like those old cop detective movies, two guys in the car watching you at all times, thats happening in our phone every day. What about our emails . Same thing. Everything we post, everything we share, everything we voluntarily disclose. If you think this is happening and you see the ad, it confirms your previous bias. Thats right. Thats true. Im with the woman with the baby who said its creepy but its not so unsettling for me. Working for her. Yes. I get it. Thank you, tony. Thank you. You can hear more of our conversation with duck duck go ceo Gabriel Weinberg on our cbs this morning podcast. Thats a good name for a company. Available on itunes and apple podcast. Duck duck go ceo. I like that. Pop star demi lovato starting her new tour with a personal message ahead and only on cbs this morning, we hear from demi about her own struggles with Mental Health and how shes working to help a lot calmer out there today after the wild weather we got on monday. Clear skies, Cool Conditions and windy, but the snow that came down across our local hills, cold enough for most to stick around and a great view toward the east. Most of the precipitation across southern california. We are waiting for our next storm to arrive wednesday night through saturday morning. We could see almost an inch and a half of rain, especially along the coastline. This portion of cbs this morning sponsored by toyota, proud partner of team usa. The 2018 camry. Toyota.

I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Our, the Sonoma County bo this is a kpix 5 morning update.

President trump tells governors you have to fight the nra once in a while and the next steps of the gun control debate. U. S. News and world report states one state is the best. Well tell you which one and talk with this governor. But first heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Florida lawmakers are taking steps to raising the age limit to buy the kind of rifle used at the high school. President trump wants to move on gun restrictions but the Republican Led Congress fearful of its base isnt budging. Scot petersons lawyers that say allegations that his client is a coward are not true. They got 10 inches of rain in five months. Government held area in damascus have been shelled and it was humanitarian shelters today that may have thwarted effor efforts. During a Carnival Cruise last week a family of 23 people had to be kicked off the ship after starting numerous fights and even threatening to throw other passengers overboard. 23 people terrorizing a ship. I hate to break it to you, thats not a family. Thats pirates. I didnt know they had pirates in 2018. Im gayle king with John Dickerson and norah odonnell. Nra leaders are on our side in the wake of this months Deadly School shooting. Hes willing to take on the nra which would pit him against fellow republicans. Those republicans only want modest changes in gun laws. They want to arm qualified teachers and strengthen background strength. Mr. Trump is expected to meet with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle tomorrow to discuss possible legislation. Major garret is at the white house. Major, on this issue the president has said he might break with the nra but he want every state of people that own a gun so is the president going to break with the understand ra and is he going to break with his gun owning supporters. Reporter there are a lot of miegts and ifs in this equation right now. Theres still no decision here at the white house whether or not to send a legislative package on School Safety to capitol hill and if that would even include anything significant on gun restrictions. The president has endorsed some ideas about you until we see those specifics, the country and the congress will have no idea how far if at all the president will step away from the National Rifle association. One thing he does appear to be thinking about getting specific about, is hes expected to announce that hell run again in 2020 and hes named his former Digital Campaign guru. Why is he making the announcement today . Reporter theres a Campaign Manager, that the president is building out his Reelection Campaign for 2020. He already filed the paper work for that, held no fewer than nine rallies around the country already for his Reelection Campaign but the creation of the beginnings of that team with the Campaign Manager very close to Jared Kushner, they were very close allies during the entire campaign. Brad and Jared Kushner indicates the president is moving full square toward 2020, a single to Congressional Republicans who condition know if that was the case that he is going to seek reelection and hell try to help them in the midterms and the midterms is by far the closer and more fearful political reality for those house and Senate Republicans and if the president moves toward his 2020 Reelection Campaign hell try to assist them as best he can. All right. Those midterms will be important when it comes to that next election afterwards. Thanks so much, major. Students from marjory Stoneman Douglas visited members witongress yesterday. They met with the number three House Republican, Steve Scalise louisiana. He was nearly killed in a shooting last june. Scalise made it through seven ee monies and returned to work just three months later. Hes with us now from the capitol. Congressman, good morning. Thanks for joining us. You . Ood morning, gayle, john and hey norah, how are you . I know you met with some of hese survivors p. What kind of changes did they ask for members of congress to make . Alked talked about policy but eally we talk a lot about shared experience and obviously it got very emotional. Some o ilar tf the things theyve been through are similar to some of ng to begs ive been through and this is going to be a tough time ow, this, it already is. This doesnt go away. Mes something that i know me and the other members of the Congressional Baseball Team still talk about what we went alking abod im sure as students againl continue to talk about what they went through. We did talk about some policy aboutstly where we are right now. I want to ask you about some of those specifics of policy because some of the survivors have talked about raising the hase an t for those being able to purchase an assault rifle. Age to sident has indicated he might support that raising the age to 21. Would you support that . Right now i think if you look and ever are varied in every state also has the ability to hange their law but there are a umber of things being looked at now. Now. Ut as mune of the ones being talked about as much as basically closing loopholes. Es. Have a lot of Mental Health resues. Federae breakdowns at the federal and local level in Law Enforcement. Clearly a lot of us have serious ques sestions about the fbi and why this wasnt stopped in the first hace when they had this kid anded to them on a silver platter months ago. Congressman, in talking to some of my relatives who have ,r15, they hear this debate taking place and they think its ped inault on their freedom and theyre being lumped in with samee who shouldnt have access to weapons. Fr nstiou hear that same argument from your constituents . I do hear that from lions ouents and millions of ar15 andve weapons like the ar15 and use them to defend themselves. They have it for selfdefense which is the tenent of the second amendment. Thats one of the things youve got to balance. Youve got to recognize, number othersn cases like this shooting dyd so many others multiple laws were already broken but worse were that, big signs were missed. In many cases by government gove missedand the fact that government missed so many of the signs and didnt do the things ect pthey should have done to protect people is one of the reasons that people feel they lves a have a need to protect themselves and their family. Given what youve said and peoples feeling about personal anddom the request from some of the students in parkland and sther places that there be some limitations, any limitations of any kind on the ar15, thats ain, thatsing to happen, is it . Of the bs not one of the big ithcussions here, closing problems with the loopholes, especially with the instant background check system. We passed a bill in the house backgrouix nics which people are rallying around, thats a bill the passed the house. Se was tied to concealed carrie reciprocity so thats one of the things we sent over to the senate. A senate is looking at a different version of that bill. L thats a bill that has passed the house. P its pretty clear that law ues anement missed some very mportant clues and signals. Omeonead lots of warnings it seems but as someone whos been through a shooting do you n thert ar15s being on the street . K you can talk about any one weapon and if you ban that g else idoes that mean that nothing else is going to happen . I t cthink if you look i was eretunate in my case that i had scene worcement there on the scene who acted accordingly and took thatdown the shooter. He schoohat would have happened washe school where clearly there was at least one law ooter. Ement officer on the scene k thatd instead of confronting the shooter. And k thoseeds to come out and when was that known. Those are the kind of things we ingt to know when we say before awaye go changing laws to take get the fights of lawabiding citizens, lets get the fact and see if other people didnt do their job in enforcing existing laws. Xisting laws are broken and t ople want to change other laws out annfringe on lawabiding citizens. You talked about an emotional meeting that you had with the theents and there was a very with tsting article in the the y day tk times sunday times by activiese students are activists who are out there talking about stillntrol but at night theyre till healing very scared kids. What advice did you give to them or what can you say to them as someone whos been through this on how to heal . What i shared with them is hereusly what theyre doing up here is very important and i reink its great that they are polging in the political ack ess about you when they go e highome theyre going to be t,gh School Students again and at some point theyre going to till being on with their daily ing withd this is going to be ingering with them the problems theyll be facing. They they ought to be talking amongst themselves. Im sure theyll be School Students counselors. These students all went through this together they should dont go talking to each other. Ont go hide in a corner and months lthose feelings because er issue. Ter it could become a bigger issue. Talk through that experience. Hats what we do up here and ll teaelped all of us on the Baseball Team get through this. Hey ought to be doing the same thing. Sman l right. D to seeman, its really good to ee you, sir.

Since then the percentage of American Children living in poverty has increased. Income inequality has widened, and segregation has current back into schools and neighborhoods.

Iowa comes out on top of this years list followed by minnesota and utah. The report ranked mississippi 49th and louisiana last. It measured states in eight different categories. Iowa ranked first overall in infrastructure and in the top ten on health care, opportunity, education, and quality of life. Iowas republican governor, kim reynolds, joined fellow governors yesterday at the white house. This morning shes with us at the table along with u. S. News and world report editorinchief content officer brian kelly. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Governor, before we get to the rankings, you said about you said, the federal government has to play a role in deciding firearm restrictions. What kind of role should the federal government play . You know, yesterday we had the opportunity to meet with the president at the National Governors association. So governors of both parties had the opportunity to sit down and listen to some of the president s ideas. I think its just really important that we look at this from a holistic perspective. We all have a role to play in this. Im a mother. Im a grandfather of nine. My daughter is a teacher. Weve had some pretty hearttoheart conversations about what theyre doing in their school. We need to strengthen the louse that are on the the laws that are on the books. We need to do a better job with background checks and do everything we can to keep firearms out of the hands of people that shouldnt have them. Whether they have Mental Illness or domestic abuse. And with a daughter thats a teacher, do you think its a good idea to arm teachers . You know, again, i think we need to look at everything. I think that needs to be very thoughtful. I think it needs to be a local decision. I dont think that thats something that should be mandated from the federal level. I think they have a role to play would you want your daughter armed . If theyre trained and if they have the proper vetting and theyre, you know are capable of doing that. Thats a decision that jessica needs to make. I think that its important there are states that are doing that. There are states that have said, governors ive talked to our educators and administrator, theyre not interested in doing that. We cant i think its so important that we just not focus on single issues. We just cant. We need to look for ways to secure our schools singlepoint of entrance. We need Mental Health counselors, a Security Guard in each of the sexual abus of th weve got to look at Mental Health. Weve been working on a comprehensive bill in the state of iowa that should go to the floor of the house this week to make sure that we have access and that were identifying needs. Theres a host of things to look at. Governor, its great to meet you. We love the state of iowa. I love the state of iowa. I love the state of iowa of course you do. And brian, its interesting to hear viewers ranked the states. Last year iowa was sixth. Now its first. Whats iowa doing right . Been on the job nine months. Impressive. Yeah. There has been some good continuity there certainly in the administration. Governor reynolds was the Lieutenant Governor before. They are just good as john said in the graphic theyre good at a lot of things. We look at 75 different factors. We look at whether people go to their doctors appointment and how much it costs. Graduation rate from high school and higher ed costs. So many factors in there. When you add up the numbers, theyre number one. Theyve beat massachusetts here with us last year. So there definitely is a competition i think among the states. Seven of the top ten states have republican governors, right . That say anything about how theyre leading those states . You know, its a nonpartisan survey. Were not picking sides on this. It is just about the numbers. There is probably some lessons to be learned there. Some of the states also are contingency. A are contiguous. You have iowa, minnesota, and nebraska now which probably tells you something about, i dont know, nordic gene line. The midwest. Theres some interesting patterns. You know, this is the second year weve done it. Were beginning to find a lot of interesting things. I agree with norah. Ive been to iowa a couple of times and had a great experience every time ive been. But iowas also 90 white. So how are people like me supposed to feel about it getting the numberone slot . You know, im cinnamon brown with a dollop of caramel, a person of color. What do you say to people of color looking at this the National Average is about 15 , right . Of what . The country. Yes, yes, yes. Blacks. Yeah. Iowas a diverse state in a number of regards. I think the the governor can speak to this. Its not a farm state. You know, manufacturing is the primary economy. Its a very interesting, developing, evolving state. Theres a large hispanic population there. And so i think governor . I think a very diverse state and welcoming state. First of all, i just want to say thank you. First of all, its what an honor to recognize iowans that are making a difference in communities every single day all across our state. And iowa truly is a place where if you work hard, dream big, everything is possible. Im honestly a product of that. I grew up in a small town in iowa, towns about 500 people. Kevin and i, when we were raising our three daughters, to make ends meet i checked at a Grocery Store during the weekends and on nights. And even with all of that, i im sitting here today as the governor of the state of iowa. I think its reflective of the opportunities that exist within our state. Kevin is her husband whos been yep, yep. My husband. Yep. So not everything is rosy in life. What is the biggest challenge for you as governor right now that youre trying to tackle . Well i think this is consistent across the state. We have an economy thats growing. We have a great business environment. As ive talked to job creators, theyre looking forward people with skills. So im working with iowans every single day first of all, kids in high school, to make sure they know theres many opportunities, different Career Pathways to great opportunities in the state of iowa. Working with adult learners, too. To help get them skills so that they can have a great job and have a great quality of life. And so that is a numberone focus. I think if you if we have a Talent Pipeline ready to meet the needs and were providing opportunities for iowans in our state to really have a great quality of life, thats how were going to continue to succeed and stay on top. And were number one Graduation Rate in the country. I have been very involved in the Lieutenant Governor in s. T. E. M. , science, technology, engineering, and math with a representative in underserved and to ensure these kids can be what they want to be. It builds confidence and helps match them with great opportunities in iowa. Big congratulations to you. Thank you, thank you. Governor tim reynolds. Good to have you here. Thank you. Christine baranski conquered broadway and tv. Shes in the green room with a look at the new season of emmy winning actress Christine Baranski has had a three decade career. The juilliardtrained star has dozens of credits on stage and on screen. Baranski is best known for portraying lawyer Diane Lockart on the cbs drama the good wife can the and brought it back for a Spinoff Series the good fight, first scripted series from cbs all access, a subscription streaming service. Theres a season two. Diane considers taking a new position from someone who has betrayed her in the past. Heres a preview. Ive been asked to be a partner in another firm twiz the size of beddik bowman. And youre wondering . If i should go. The offer came from someone who betrayed you. Someone who betrayed you once will betray you again, thats a given. Isnt it better to go with the devil that you know. I never understood that expression. Why not go with no devils. I just dont like hustling every day to keep this firm afloat. Yes, you do. You love it. Christine baranski, welcome back to the table. I love that scene where she says why not go with no devils which i absolutely agree with, but the thing about this show that i think is so great is that you guys really push the envelope. You talk about White Supremacy, referring to the president of the united states. You talk about racial injustice. You talk about Sexual Harassment. It really pushes the envelope. Is that what you like about it . Well, i dont see how if youre doing a show with characters that are living in this in our surreal time, how you cannot address what is, you know, a world off its axis, and i so it addresses exactly the world that in realtime. And they are lawyers, so that is their reality. They have to do cases on Sexual Harassment and White Supremacy or gun violence, so i think more than ever ive been playing this character for nine years, and ive never had more fun. Its never been more rock n roll in terms of the writing. This character of dine lockhart, very pulled together, beautiful clothes, always the grownup in the room, elegant, eloquent. She gets unhinged. Shes addicted to cable news. She cant believe what shes watching as, you know, can you relate to this . You cant like process whats going on, and she doesnt know what to do anymore. She doesnt know how to cope, and that takes her to even doin some microdosing and having a little gun in her desk. Yes. And getting very paranoid. A couple of glasses of wine. Yes, and saying exactly what she means and she drops the f word and takes off her shoes and you see a different diane. You see a diane thats more like that. You know, you never see diane like that. Im always saying to the hairdresser, make it messy. Is she fighting the good fight . What is the good fight . I mean, you could interpret that so many times. I think the good fight is trying desperately to hold on to your value system, at least for this character, or how to live in the present moment without losing your mind. I would say thats the overreaching theme of this this particular season which is 13 episodes. Yeah. First of ten. Yeah. Even last year was a different show. When i did your show last year, we were talking at a different level of, you know, current events, and it was weird enough then, but the interesting thing is for the writers, they they have to chase the news in order to stay on top of it. They almost have to anticipate whats going to happen. We just did an episode on impeachment. We just finished an episode on the Golden Shower tape, and god knows by the time thats what i mean by pushing the envelope, Christine Baranski. I know, they are being really brave this year. Why shouldnt we be . Were not on network. Can afford to be brave and were living in times that are so abashed and audacious, as artist, at writers, as actors we have to go to that place. Which is to say we dont care if we offend people. There are obviously people that support and are on the other side of these issues that have deep strong feelings that would be opposed. And we have characters that are protrump. To the writers credit they dont only write one side, and i would say they argue that they are not writing a political show, that it was never their show to be polemical. They are writing about characters with strong views because they are intelligent people working in a law firm, and they are living their lives so people are living their life these days. To go from the good wife to the good fight part of the popularity is to see the strong women that women have longed to see for on television. Women of different ages and i started this show in my mid50s and its nine years. Youre 42. Thats backward. You have a woman my age the head of a law firm. Its not put in quotation. Sitting here with a smart cookie and went to oxford and were staying in a dorm room. You go, christine. I just using another part of my brain. Its one of my regrets that i didnt go to up. I loved being a schoolgirl, and loved libraries and books and doing homeworks and this oxford offers a Summer Program and two years ago i did it. E. Lawrence. And she did very well. Up against a wall. Ive got to go, christine. Just know were cheering you on. Thank you so much. Like another part of the family, Christine Baranski. The new season of the good fight premiers on sunday. Find it on the cbs app and on streaming tv like apple and chromecast. Well be right back.
