Militants who say they targeted critical Saudi Arabian Oil Facilities in a drone strike are threatening more attacks. The Trump Administration blames iran for the strike that damaged one of the saudis most Important Oil special report sites. Iran calls that claim meaningless. The attack cut the worlds oil supply by 5 . The market price of crude oil jumped nearly 20 before falling back. Weijia jiang is at the white house. Good morning. So how President Trump responding . Reporter good morning. President trump says the know exactly who is behind the attacks and is, quote, locked and loaded. He also says hes waiting to hear who the saudis blame before deciding how to move forward. His top diplomat is using stronger language, pointing the finger directly at iran. Vice president mike pence, defense secretary mark esper, and secretary of state mike pompeo left the white house sunday evening as tension between the u. S. And iran barrels toward a boiling point. Satellite images show thick, black smoke billowing from the aramco facility, one of the saudi oil plants attacked in apparent drone strikes. Cbs news has learned there were 19 points of impact damaging 17 structures at the site, saudi officials indicated cruise missiles were used. Yemens Houthi Rebels who are fighting a civil war against the saudibacked government took responsibility for the attack. Pompeo declared there is no proof to support the claim and swiftly blamed iran. On saturday, he tweeted, iran has launched an unprecedented attack on the Worlds Energy supply. Iran dismissed pompeos accusations as fruitless and blind. Its foreign minister tweeted, having failed at max pressure, secretary pompeos turning to max deceit. Before the attack, President Trump said he might meet with his iranian counterpart at the United Nations General Assembly next week. Could happen. It could happen. Reporter pompeo went a step further the president s made very clear hes prepared to meet with no preconditions. Reporter yesterday President Trump contradicted that on twitter writing, the fake news is saying that i am willing to meet with iran. No conditions. That is an incorrect statement, as usual. The republican congresswoman liz cheney says the u. S. Should deny visas to iranian delegates planning to attend the u. N. Gathering. The white house has not indicated if President Trump plans to do that, but he would not be the first. Gayle, president s obama and reagan have denied visas to iranian diplomats. Thank you so much.

What can we expect to see at the pump today . I see the price behind you, 2. 68, paying cash. Reporter well, good morning, gayle. The prices are likely to go up. What we wont see is fuel shortages, disruptions to supply here. But you will see signs like that one ticking up in the coming days as it will cost americans more to fill their tanks. One fuel price expert tells cbs this morning he expects the will be between 10 and 25 cents a gallon and calls it anowing but not likely to change consumer behavior. Heading into the weekend, e National Average for a felon of gas had been a gallon of gas had been dropping wi the end of the Summer Travel season. Yesterday the average was 2. 56 a glove, down 15 cents from july. How long the spike will last, that depends on how fast the saudis can restore production. And at this point we dont really have estimates on how long those repairs will take. We know that some of the capacity thats off line is expected to come back sometime this week. But gas price experts tell us the longer this drags on, the longer this disruption goes on, the higher prices are likely to go. Anthony . Thank you. At least five democrats running for president Say Supreme Court Justice Brett kavanaugh should be impeached over the latest Sexual Misconduct allegations from his college years. A new book on kavanaugh by two New York Times journalists mentions a previously unreported claim. President trump and other republicans reject the allegations. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, why are those democrats calling for kavanaughs impeachment . Reporter well, because, anthony, democrats both here on the hill and on the campaign trail say that these new allegations are raising questions once again about the integrity of his confirmation process. They say that the fbi wasnt given enough time to adequately look into his background and that allegations like this are proof. They came to light over the weekend when the New York Times published an excerpt from a new book written by two of its reporters. In it a classmate at yale says that he saw kavanaugh expose himself to a female student at a party in the 1980s. However, the female student refused to be interviewed for the book, and apparently friends say she doesnt recall the incident. The authors also claim they spoke to multiple people who corroborated a previous allegation by debra ramirez, another classmate, who said that he exposed himself to her at a party. Kavanugh has not respond wanted to the report and previouslydent imed all of the previously denied all of the allegation. The times type reporters say none of the people they spoke to were interviewed by the fbi ahead of the confirmation. Senate Leaders Limited the time and scope for the fbi probe. Yesterday Democratic Candidates called for kavanaughs impeachment. Center Elizabeth Warren said the nomination was, quote, rammed through the senate. And former Vice President joe biden asked whether the fbi was pressured to ignore evidence. President trump over the weekend called the new accusations lies and, tony, its portant to point out that the senate is still run by republicans. So the chances that kavanaugh is going to be impeached any time soon are highly unlikely. All right. Interesting that the alleged victim herself says she doesnt remember it. We appreciate it. Moving on, the maker of the painkiller oxycontin, purdue pharma, filed for bankruptcy overnight. That could lead to smaller payouts for plaintiffs in more than 2,000 Law Enforcement over the alleged alleged role over starting the opioid epidemic. Purdue says the settlement is estimated to provide more than 10 billion, including at least 3 billion for members of the Sackler Family who own the company. They have denied any wrongdoing. About half the states involved in lawsuits have not accepted the settlement and say theyll go forward with legal action against members of the Sackler Family. In a statement, members of the family said, quote, it is our hope the bankruptcy reorganization process that is now underway will end our ownership of purdue and ensure its assets are dedicated for the public benefit. New york is aiming to be the second state to ban the sale flavored ecigarettes. Now michigan has taken similar action. Yesterday new York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced an emergency executive action to ban the sale of most of the flavored products. This would affect all flavors except tobacco and menthol. The American Lung association called the announcement insufficient. Just last week, you may recall, the cdc said there are 383 confirmed or probable causes of lung disease associated with ecigarettes including six deaths. And an investigation is underway into what prompted a deck to collapse at the new jersey shore. This was the scene saturday evening in wildwood.

Im not a person that causes any problems. I always try to do everything the right way. Reporter david ortiz says he still does not understand why anyone would want to harm him. In an emotional interview with univision, he recalled the night in june when a gunman opened fire at a bar in his native dominican republic, shooting ortiz in the back at close range. I feel like something was basically burning or itching, and i dont doesnt feel right. Doesnt feel right. I never had that feeling before, so its crazy to describe. Reporter doctors had to remove the former red sox players gall bladder and part of his intestines before he was taken to a hospital in boston where he remained for more than a month. Since the shooting, more than a dozen people have been arrested. Authorities say the intended target was another man, not ortiz. You know, try to investigate on my own, see if i can find anything different. I havent, so i guess thats what happened. I was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Red sox hall of famer reporter last week ortiz made a triumphant return to the spotlight throwing out the first pitch at fenway park. The 43yearold says he is thankful for all the support he has gotten from fans during his grueling recovery.

He talks about how hes always been very accessible to people including fans but that that incident has made him rethink that. Ortiz says that he hopes to make a full recovery by thanksgiving.

Im Anthony Mason with gayle king and tony dokoupil. Two former students at the university of illinois at urbanachampaign are accusing a former professor of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. They filed a complaint in federal court and claimed the university protected gary xu despite numerous allegations and complaints against him. Meg oliver sat down with one of the women, vina sun, who told us the professor abused her for around two years using the fact she was an International Student against her. Sun spoke only with cbs this morning. He tried to kill me. He tried to kill you . P reporter vina sun says thi photo was taken after one of her many beatings at the hands of former illinois professor gary xu. When she was 19, the married 45yearold became her professor, and she says they started a relationship that quickly became abusive. I didnt seriously date anyone before him. I didnt know what was love. Reporter how many times did he rape you . Thats too much i dont remember. Too traumatizing but ill say none of the sex, especially after the fight, was consensual. Reporter the fights were frequent, she says, and in one instance she thought she would die. He was after me, and he went to the parking lot and started his cash, driving after me. Trying to crash me in the street. Reporter he was trying to run you down . Correct. I was so scared, and i was surprised that someone tried to just kill me in public. Reporter how many times did you report professor xu to the university . So i believe eventually three times. I felt like they wanted to sweep it under the rug. Thats for sure. Reporter according to the complaint, after that incident xu was put on a paid sabbatical by the university. For two school years he was paid his full salary of more than 85,000. In 2018 he was allegedly allowed to resign and given a 10,000 bonus. He then went on to teach at other universities. Ann olivafius is suns attorney. She was so vulnerable. He had so much power over her. The university didnt seem to pick up on that, inquire into that. Nobody followed up. Reporter according to a recent investigation by propublica and npr illinois, since last year allegations of harassment and Sexual Misconduct have surfaced against three professors and an administrator from the school. In each instance, the public wasnt told by the university until news organizations or others brought the allegations to light. Sun, who says she has been diagnosed with ptsd, is trying to move forward. Are you amazed that youre still alive . Sometimes, yes. I want to live, this the whole life. In a statement a spokesperson for the University Said its aware of the complaint and is reviewing it, adding it investigates and takes appropriate action whenever conduct is reported that may jeopardize or impact the safety or security of our students or others. Phone numbers for gary xu have been disconnected and we have not been able to reach him. Id be curious to hear what professor xu has to say, especially when you see the pictures of vina suns black eye. Theyre planning to file a lawsuit against the university of illinois this friday. However, we have learned that the legal team for the university, reached out to them, and they are in the beginning talks to try to reach an agreement before they file suit.

Were lighting the health of our planet with our original reporting. We like to do that. Were taking you deep to the keys to the only underwater science lab in the world where marine biologists can live for weeks at a time. Mark phillips strapped on his scuba gear to show us what theyre learning. Reporter good morning from about four miles off the florida keys. Often the hardest part of the story is getting to it. This one is only 50 feet away. The problem is, its straight down. About five miles officele of marada in the keys is a lab called the Aquarius Reef base. This is the only way to get to it. The lab sits those 50 feet down on the ocean floor and has only recently come back into surface after being knocked out of commission by Hurricane Irma two years ago. The storm damaged the surface unit that provides power and pumps air down to the lab at enough pressure to keep the air in and the water out. Inside, you swim into what they call the wet porch. For good reason. Welcome. Reporter heck of an was youve got here. Its got all the comforts of home if youre a fish. Not many people can take an underwater shower. This is our door to the world. Reporter a world where the Onboard Electronics can interfere with tv picture. Marine scientist Jim Fourqurean spends a lot of time down here as parts of the Florida International University Team that runs the place. Once youre in it, it feels like an underwater r. V. , with a difference a lot of attention is made to make sure that oxygen concentrations are correct and the co2 is at the right level and the temperature and humidity. Reporter you can forget youre 50 odd feet below the surface. You really can. Reporter if you dont look out the window. The point of being down here that actually living on the sea floor means scientists can do more than just the relatively short dives that are possible from the surface. Once acclimatized to the pressure, they can stay out for hours. Down here for days. They almost become, says marine ecologist mike heithaus, Sea Creatures themselves. You can be the ocean. You can be the ocean. You can see things you dont with tiny dives. You need these observatories like aquarius to keep an eye on what the reefs are doing and figure out solutions. Reporter heres one of the major problems the scientists are working on Hurricane Irma also did major damage to the seagrass beds that grow just off the coast. Why does that matter . Think Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming. Theres as much co2 stored in seagrass meadows as there is in tropical forests by an acrebyacre basis. Reporter an acre of the amazon rain forest depends on an acre of seagrass its a good thing. Were losing seagrasses faster than coral reefs. Reporter not only that, because turtles eat seagrass and it never grows back. Turtles are watching and it their buddy gets eaten theyre not going to do it. Reporter just having sharks in the area controls the number of turtles eating the seagrass. Absolutely. Reporter the kind of observation that takes the time only a place like aquarius can provide. More and more the colders ocean tos and what they mean for Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming is becoming a crucial part of climate science. And that study is made a lot easier if you can live down here. Oh, very nice. I was wondering are they going to cut to that other shot. Go, mark phillips. Its clever of mr.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king with tony mason and tony dokoupil. Auto workers reject General Motors Contract Offer and go on strike for the first time in 12 years. And the new member of the talk, marie osmond will be in studio 57. First heres today eye opener at 8. For the first time in more than a decade, workers are staging a nationwide strike against General Motors. While talks have resumed, the strike effectively closes up to 50 gm sites. President trump says theres reason to believe the u. S. Knows exactly who is behind the attacks and is locked and loaded. You will see signs that lock one ticking up in the coming days as it will cost americans more to fill their tank. Democrats here on the hill and on the campaign trail sayay these new allegations are raising questions once again about the integrity of his confirmation process. This meeting will be a part of the nfls investigation into taylors claims. No criminal charges have been filed against brown, but the league could place him on the commissioners exempt list. It ended with a thriller in atlanta. They had the lead late in the game when julio jones caught a short pass. Hes going to go all the way. Touchdown 54 yards on a fourth and three. What a graame. What a great game. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Nearly 50,000 General Motors auto workers are on strike this morning after contract talks ended in failure at the midnight deadline. United auto workers members walked off the job overnight shutting down 33 plants in nine states along with 22 Parts Distribution warehouses. Its the unions First National strike against gm since 2007. Workers are demanding what they call fair wages, Affordable Health care and better profit sharing. In a statement General Motors says we presented a strong offer that improves wages, benefits, and grows u. S. Jobs in substantive ways and it is disappointing that the uaw leadership has chosen to strike. Former nsa contractor Edward Snowden is shedding new light on his division to share documents on the mass Surveillance Program. Snowden disclosed Government Programs that collected american emails, phone calls and Internet Activity all in the name of national security. U. S. Government charged snowden under the espionage act. A Congressional Court says his disclosures caused damage to national security. Sn snowden tells his detail in story and speaks about his life in exile in russia. Snowden who identifies himself as a privacy advocate spoke with us in an exclusive tv interview that we taped earlier this morning. You said in the book you wish you had had a strategy in terms of a whats next plan once you released these documents. You sit here six years later in exile in moscow where you said you dont want to be. Was it worth it . It was. I mean, when we look at these all of these complexities and all of the consequences that we have as a result of any of the decisions as we go through our lives, i think we realize that, look, we see chances, opportunities in life where we can make a decision to try to change something. Right now in 2019 its hard to look around at the world and think nothing needs to change. But nothing changes just if we believe in something. We have to actually be willing to risk something. We have to be willing to stand for something. But you took an oath to the institution, edward. You took an oath not to betray the company. The cia has what you call an orientation a orientati orientation where they have a parade of horribles and your picture is there. Probably, yes, but thats actually an important point. I was required to swear an oath when i entered on the duty in the cia. Its a very solemn thing. Youre in a darkened room in front of a flag. Everyone else is there. But its important to notice that we did not say an oath of secrecy. One of the Common Misconceptions in one of the earlier tags you that heard a lot in 2013, you dont hear so much anymore, is that i violated this oath of secrecy. That does not exist. There is a secrecy agreement, but theres also an oath of service. An oath of service is to support and defend not an agency, not even a president. Its to support and defend the constitution of the United States of america against all enemies and thats a direct quote, foreign and domestic. And so this begs the question what happens when our obligations come into conflict . What happens when you have a secrecy agreement but you have also witnessed your own government, your own agency, your workplace, violating the rights of americans and people around the world on a massive scale . This is a very personal book, mr. Snowden, and as you pointed out, growing up in the Intelligence Community and your parents were in government, it wasnt easy for you to become personal here, b i am curious since you grow up in a community where almost everyone was somehow connected to government service, many of them the fbi, how did you did you approach your family at all about this . How did they react to it when you went through this process and how do they feel about it now . This was actually one of the hardest parts of coming forward was that i couldnt talk to anyone about it. Because this is the bizarre sort of circumstance of the way our laws are currently structured. In 2013 i was a contractor working for the nsa through a private company. I worked in the nsa facility. I had an nsa boss. I was doing nsa tasks, but formally on paper i worked for a private company. These contractors werent covered by whistle blower protection laws, but i tried to talk to, you know, a judge, a priest, a congressman. It would have been the same felony if i had talked to my family. It would have been the same felony. If i talked to a journalist, they consider telling the truth about the government breaking the law is itself a crime. I couldnt tell anyone. I couldnt tell the love of my life, who is the central figure in the story, lindsey mills, my longtime partner, because if i had, the fbi could have charged her as a part of a conspiracy. They could have charged her as kind of an accessory to the crime so long as she didnt immediately after hearing from me im thinking about talking to journalists picked up the phone and said help, help, somebodys going to talk to the press. That made it a very isolating experience. Edward, your former employer the nsa said they couldnt comment on your book because of the ongoing investigation, but they did give us the following statement. Edward snow dont violated his lifetime obligation to protect classified information and do you acknowledge that you broke the law and that there are many people in this country who see your actions as traitorous . I wont take a position on whether or not i broke the law because thats one for the lawyers. What i will say is this its not hard to make the art that i broke the law and i think thats actually the less interesting question. Its funny that whenever the government comes after you they say these disclosures cause harm but they never justify the harm or show evidence for it even though were now more than six years on. It would be the easiest thing in the world to show. Weve never heard that story. Sorry to break in here, but on the question of harm, forgive me, but how are you in a position to judge the harm of your disclosures . Isnt that something the Intelligence Community would be uniquely able to gauge . I would argue i worked for the u. S. Intelligence agency for quite a long time. I am the only one who knows the actual documents that the journalists have and the ones they published. We all know. So its available to all of us to assess the harms. If they had some classified information, if they had some classified evidence, the hair on a single persons head was harmed, you know as well as i do it would be on the front page of the New York Times by the end of the day because leaking is not something that only happens to the people that are working to inform the press or doing it. Its also what the government does to backstop their positions. There are authorized leaks that happen all the time that are not Public Interest whistle blowing. Back to that question of did i break the law, again, whats the question thats more important here . Was the law broken or was that the right thing to do . If you look back at the history of the United States, it doesnt take very long for the average person to think about a moment in which it was absolutely illegal to do something but at the same time it was absolutely the right thing to do. In a statement this morning the Justice Department told cbs news there is no question snowdens actions have inflicted serious harms on our national security. He should return to the United States and face the charges filed against him. We also reached out to the cia. It declined to comment. Brian grazers making eye contact has been a key to his success. Hell be in studio petch with his new book and how we can all learn about connecting with people. Youre watching cbs this morning. One hundred and sixtyfive Million Dollars to charity.

Liberty. We spoke to former nsa contractor Edward Snowden this morning about the time he spent in exile in russia. Heres the second part of our exclusive u. S. Tv interview with him. Youre living in russia and have for some time now. As you pointed out, its not where you want to be, its where you were forced to be. Have the russians ever asked for any information from you . Well, this is actually a big scene in the book. As soon as i landed and for the audience that may be less familiar with the story it was never my intention to be in russia. I was actual transiting en route to latin america. The United States government for some reason, we dont know whether it was intentionally to create kind of an ever green political attack against me, guilt by association of being able to point to the russian government, or they simply panicked when they saw that i might be what they considered escaping, they canceled my passport. That when i landed, i could no longer travel. I get pulled out and put into a room. Directly the Russian Intelligence Service is like do you have information, lifes going to be hard if you have no one on your side. And i said, look, you know, thats not how this is going to be. Thats not how this is going to work. I dont have any information. You can search my bag if you want because i destroyed my information before i got on the plane. And i think that was probably what they expected because remember, theres about 4,000 journalists downstairs looking for me in this airport at the moment. Im on every tv channel. On every newspaper. And i was just trying to continue on my journey into asylum. Now the reason that you know this actually happened because you might be skeptical, you might go, well, the russians are just going to let this guy go . Russia has shall we say a problematic human rights record at a minimum. Thats if were being generous. Now, when we look at the opportunities that they have to do the right thing on the International Stage it seems few and far between. But heres a circumstance where they dont have to do anything to do the right thing. All they have to do is not hand me over. But even despite that, despite the fact that russia was probably the hardest place in the world for the cia to operate, i didnt go, this is great, let me out of the airport. I was stuck in that airport for 40 days. I applied for asylum in 27 Different Countries around the world. Do you think that theyre gathering intelligence on you . The optics as we sit here in america looking at you in russia, you know, the optics are not good. No, youre absolutely right. Again, im on the same side on this issue why dont why not come home . One of the big topics in europe right now is should germany and france invite me to get asylum. Thats how theyre handling the response to the new book. But when you look at that kind of thing, yeah, of course its problematic. And of course i would like to return to the United States. That is the ultimate goal. But if im going to spend the rest of my life in prison, the one bottomline demand that we value to agree to is that we all have to agree to is that at least i get a fair trial. Thats the one thing the government has refused to guarantee because they wont provide access to whats called a Public Interest defense. Look in all due mr. Snowden, in all due respect, criminals and alleged criminals dont necessarily get to decide the terms of their trial. They broke the law and face the consequences. What makes you different . Im not different. Again, im not asking for a parade. Im not asking for a pardon. Im not asking for a pass. What im asking for is a fairtrem. This is the bottom fair trial. This is the bottom line that any american should require. We dont want people thrown in prison without the jury being able to decide whether what they did was right or wrong. The government wants to have a different kind of trial. They want to use special procedures, they want to be able to close the courtroom. They want the public not whats going on. Essentially, the most important fact to the government, and the thing we have a wont of contention on, is they do not want the jury to be able to consider the motivations. Why i did what i did, was it better for the United States . Did it benefit us, or did it cause harm . They dont want the jury to consider that at all. They want the jury strictly to consider whether the actions were lawful or unlawful, not whether they were right or wrong. And im sorry, but that defeats the purpose of a jury trial. One of the many interesting things to come out of that is after the interview ended, we chatted briefly. He said hes quite fortunate now, he was speaking financially, hes making a very good living giving speeches and how do you support yourself . Yeah. Hes doing much better than he ever expected. And hes married his girlfriend, lindsay miller, who went to visit. At one point when he took off she thought he was having an affair. She went to see him, theyve been married now. They got married two years ago. What does he miss about the u. S. . This surprised me. He said moscow is a sophisticated city, but he missed taco bell. Im sure theyre working on that. Theyve got the memo. All right. The book permanent record goes on sale tomorrow. You can watch our full interview with Edward Snowden on our website, cbsthismorning. Com. All right.

Good morning, weve got some trouble that is continue on 68 northbound. This Traffic Alert has been there all morning long. Jackknifed big rig and a fuel spill happened about 1 45 this morning. All lanes remain shut down between north 680 from vargas to andreade road. They were hoping to have the left lane open on the southbound side. No confirmation on that. But southbound 680 very slow. 57 minutes thats your drive time from 5830 down to 237. In fact southbound 680 thats got you backed up to the dubling interchange. A trickle effect now on 580 itself westbound trying to connect over to 6780. The northbound 680 all lanes completely shut down. Avoid 68 altogether is your best bet. Use 88 instead and northbound is doing okay. Southbound though, look out for this accident. Two lanes completely shut down for an accident involving another big rig. Flooding as well at 880 and 980. Slick surfaces from the rain this morning. Also if you are working westbound eastshore freeway at powell street. Watch out for an accident blocking lanes. More on the wet weather coming up with mary in just a minute. Good monday morning to you, im meteorologist mary lee, tracking hidef doppler. We have the return of the rain with the cold front currently pushing across the region. Its been quite some time. Lets show you and zoom and you can see the locations getting the light to moderate rain from berkeley into San Francisco and over the bay bridge from oakland and san leandro down through hayward and fremont. Also across the peninsula south, San Francisco down through san ma toy owe.

Time to bring you some of the stories that we call talk of the table. Why . Because its a table were talking. We have a special guest. Whats your name, special guest . I dont remember. A marie a marie osmond. Hi, marie osmond. Hi. And marie osmond is the newest member of the talk. Thats why shes here. Its perfect that youre doing talk of the table. Because were talking. At the table. We pick a story we like and share and the rest of the viewers. Youre going first . Im going first. Before you say anything, do you know he wore purple socks . I do wear purple socks. Hes got cool socks. I went, really . Really . We get dressed in the dark. We grab whatevers in the drawer. Sorry. Hes always got cool socks. I want to give people an update on a story weve been talking about over the years. Charlottesville had a robert e. Lee statue that the city Council Voted to remove because they said it sent a racist message. Now youll remember that opposition to at removal led to this unite the right rally. A violent clash which led to the death of one of the protesters. Well, now theres a ruling in that case. A judge has said that the statue stays. The statue stays because its protected under a war memorial law in the state of virginia. And the judge says, quote, i dont think i can infer that a Historic Preservation statue was intended to be racist. While people may interpret it that way, he says he cant infer that and, therefore, its protected. This applies not only to the statue but to a Stonewall Jackson statue elsewhere. Well see. Interesting turn. Nice story. Well see if theres another chapter. Marie, what have you got . Am i doing this now . Okay. Suicides are on the rise. So the fcc is proposing a threedigit hotline number for people to call if theyre feeling suicidal or if theyre experiencing a Mental Health crisis. The number is 988, and it would be the new national number. And it would replace the current tendigit number for the National Suicide prevention line which i think is actually excellent. You know something about there topic, unfortunately. I do. And many and many of my friends, there are so many people being touched by this right now. And its just i think that this is an excellent idea. Youre overwhelmed. Whether you i was the first celebrity to talk about severe postpartum depression. Yeah. And you know, theres all kind of reasons. But the last thing you can do is get help. Yeah. Because you had it in your family, i thought this was important. Right. With my son your son. The current number is 1800273talk. That gets two million calls a year already. Yeah. I think its good. Its like 411, information. 911, help. This is a great a great idea. Weve got to make it simple. I love that. I do, too. Its a little bit uncomfortable that theres a division between the physical health and Mental Health when its bodily health. I think something is better than nothing. The number is now 988. Theyre proposing it. It would be 988. A great idea. All right. Heres my story. Its a head scratcher which why i brought it up. A san diego woman says she takes off her diamond Engagement Ring before she goes to bed. Thats because last week she swallowed it during a dream. What . She says. Yes. Jenna evans was having one you know those dreams that you feel like are too real . Thats what she says she was having. And in the dream she says, we she and her fiance were in a sketchy situation involving a highspeed train and bad guys. Her, bobby, her fiance, told her to swallow my ring to protect it. And she did . She woke up and felt something funny in her stomach and realized shed actually swallowed the ring. No. Im looking at this and going, how do you swallow a ring in your sleep and stay asleep . And stay asleep. And stay asleep. How does this happen . I dont think its going to help if she puts it in a drawer. It will become part of the dream. Well how do you in the dream take the ring off your finger and how does it happen . Maybe its an emotional thing that shes not that happy to be married . Ooh. I was going to say it were you . I was thinking, i dont know about paging dr. Freud. Your words, marie. They ended up doing an upper endoscopy, a procedure where i doctor puts a flexible tube, the camera saw the thing and they were able to get it. Mine is about new york giants running back Saquon Barkley. Wait until you hear this story. The 11yearold boy was insulted last week when demarcus of the cowboys asked for an autograph. Martin, martin he wouldnt give him an autograph because he had on the wrong jersey. And so Saquon Barkley saw the story and invited the little boy and his family to the giants. He sent them all sorts of swag, all sorts of i know this is so so sad to me. You know when youre a little kid and youre going to get an autograph from somebody you really like, and they just ignore you and says get the right jersey, son. Thats camille batista, 11yearsold. After saquon saw that, he and his family are given tickets to the giants game for november 10th. So barkleys going to pay for them all to come. Great. What was so great about this little boy. He said, you know, demarcus, maybe he was having a bad day, hes not maybe mad at him. Which i thought was generous of this little boy. At first Demarcus Lawrence said, he initially defended himself on twitter and now has rethought that and has apologized for the situation. Yeah. As he should. Yes. Maybe he was having a bad day. Did we mention that marie osmond is at the table . I didnt hear that. You didnt . I heard purple socks are at the table. They are. More noticeably marie osmond is here. She and her brother donny capita advisory audiences, including this from her variety series. She cofounded the Childrens Miracle Network hospitals and helping it raise more than 7 billion with a b dollars. She also became a successful entrepreneur on qvc and danced across television with dancing with the stars. Dancing with the starved. Now we are welcoming marine to our cbs family.

I dont have a sister, and this is kind of like thats right. You have all those kids to have all these female opinions, im like, there is a smart table. No offense, guys. Yeah. Yeah. Its a different thing. I grew up with men. And how many brothers do you have . I have eight. Eight brothers. Wow. I have eight children. I have four boys and four girls. But i dont know, its a different phase of life. I love the show because its upbeat and fun. They are all a hoot. And i love each one of them. Theyre crazy. This is what happened in your first week, though. Youre known for sharing, youve talked about having two deaf brothers. You talked about feeling responsible for your mothers car accident. Youve talked about going back to work after your sons funeral. I mean, you really opened up in the first week. Youre okay clearly with sharing your life. I think thats one of the things you have to realize when you step up to the table. I dont believe in airing dirty laundry. I dont think thats necessary. If you can do something that can help somebody else or, you know, help them get through something, and i maybe its that sisterhood thing. Sharing postpartum depression. Yes. I was the first female to actually celebrity to actually talk about it. I dont know, i just i. Theres so much i felt theres so much shame around things when its the Human Experience we all go through. I dont care if youre a celebrity or if, you know, youre a Makeup Artist or whatever you do for a living, we all go through this thing called life. Yes. The social media, theres so much feedback good and bad. I think that theres always positive in everything, and you can always find the negative i everything. The biggest thing for children is that they want to live an illusion, and they see other peoples illusions and think thats reality. And its really not. And so i think you have to be careful with that. I know my youngest just turned 17. 17. How old is your oldest . Older than me. Marie, really. Your age range goes from 17 to what to 36. Marie has ten grandchildren. I just want one. I want one i have eight. Donny has 10 i cant wait until i have one. What do your grandchildren call you . Grandma. Yeah. I love grandma. You like being called grandma . I do. I love it. My mom was the best grandma. And theres just something my she calls me up, grandma . Im like, yeah, anything you want. Theyre just theyre just the love of my life. The best part is you get to send them home if they have a dirty diaper. You dont have to raise them. You just love them. Youve been living in las vegas for 11 years now. Is that right . Is it hard to raise kids in las vegas . People spend the weekend there. You dont take them to the strip. No. Theres a very big Family Community there. And i think celine and i were the only two that actually lived there. No, the they have really wonderful schools, and you just have to make sure theyre in the right schools. But my kids did well. I raised my four older outside of vegas and my four younger inside of vegas. And you and donny had the longest selling show 11 years. It was bigger than celines show and elvis show i heard this, gayle. Cesars just gave us the key to the strip, which is better than the key to the city. I want to go into the box where they keep all the cash. No, they said that we will have done more shows when we finish in november than celine and elvis combined. Wow. Now you are on youre on the talk. Part of the cbs family. Good to have you here. Thanks. You can watch the talk here on cbs. Movie producer brian grazer is one of the most powerful people in hollywood. There he is. Theres mr. Power sitting next to mrs. Grazer. Hi, mrs. Grazer hi in our toyota green room with tips on putting yourself at ease. It starts wi complex relationships and communication are at the heart of movies by the oscarwinning producer brian grazer. One, two, three, four. It took me a long time to understand that if you want to do this job well, you have to stay detached. The truth is that i i dont like people much. Our case is simply this say again, please. Houston we have a problem. Now grazer has put what hes learned over the years into a new book called face to face the art of Human Connection. Published by simon and shuster. That is a division of cbs. Brian joins us at the table. How are you . Great. Thanks. Yeah. You sea in the book that i you say in the book that eye contact is your secret weapon when youre feeling uneasy. Most people hear the opposite. Youre supposed to picture people in their underwear. Youre supposed to look anywhere but in their eyes. Why does it work for you . I think because im in the fieldings business. And ever feelings business. And everything is about feelings. When i connect and say using your eye contact is the human wifi, when i look at somebody, it calms me. Humanizes them. Yeah. And im sure im humanized to them, as well. You were a shy kid. I was i did deflective kid. I couldnt read at all. The first part of my life, i didnt actually look at people at all because i was afraid id be called in class like, come up, whats the answer. Then there was a point where i realized by looking at somebody, i could learn much more and could make it an interactive experience. And then exercised this muscle of curiosity. Yeah. Ron howard pointed out to you that you dont look people in the eye. Somebody told me if you dont want to look people in the eye, look at their nose. It makes it look like youre looking them in the eye. Ron howard said you dont look people in the eye. What did you get from that conversation with him . It was unusual because it was on our second movie is splash. Youre partners. Were partners. And were working with the writers, and i was able to like understand everything they were saying, and i like every bit of the mechanics of what was going on. He said, brian, are you really paying attention . I said, i am. And i said, ill repeat everything that just happened. And of course i was, you know, very operable. I could do it. He said, but when you dont look at them, it makes them feel bad. It hurts their feelings. And he just said it with a simplicity of that, and it penetrated me. You said true love starts with the eyes. It definitely starts with the eyes you tell a great story about when you met your wife, she came into a restaurant, and your eyes connected across a room. Do you really think that true love you have to have a spirittospirit connection by looking in somebodys eyes . I do. Your wife is your wife, and shes here with you. What is it about what is it about the eyes . You said you cant have a onesided connection. Yeah. Well, what good. The eyes, its not its not thatical icallicall icalli see into your soul. Its a bridge to the person. Because im in the business of reaching people emotionally and a camera is a magnifier, when i look into someones eyes and they into mine, and im calm and theyre calm, and youre present, you have a chance to reach each others heart. Deals are made. About making a connection, right. Its about making a connection. Youre not getting a promotion without a connection. Youre not getting making a deal. Youre not doing your b round, none. That happens without a connection. How do we overcome the iphone . Iphones are smart devices, theyre very valuable. I think they should be used independently. They are compatible to one another. But you cant really Pay Attention to somebody and be present if youre looking at your iphone. Look at your iphone before. The authentic connection, guys, he says, takes seven to ten seconds alone, in a group its three to five seconds. Yes. To make eye contact. Im going to try that without people thinking youre weird. Get off your phones, unless youre reading face to face by brian grazer. Yes. Thank you so much. Thank you, brian. See how i did that .
