Im Nora Odonnell with gayle king and john dickerson. The people of alabama vote today in one of the most closely watched elections in u. S. History. Roy moore and doug jones held rallies last night to try and boost support and try to convince some undecided voters. This latest polling shows this race is very much in the air and well go right down to the wire. A fox news survey suggests that jones has a 10point lead. But an emerson poll has moore ahead by nine points. Turnout will likely determine the winner of this race. Moore held his last campaign rally, manuel, good morning. Reporter good morning. Both moore and jones stumped last night with a number of politicians and entertainers. It was a last minute push to Energize Voters in a contest that even this morning appears too close to call. And were not going to stand by and let other people from out of state and money from california control this election. On the eve of tuesdays election, roy moore painted himself as the victim of outside special interests and rejected multiple allegations of Sexual Misconduct. If you dont believe in my character, dont vote for me. Reporter moores wife defended her husband against allegations of sexism, racism and antisemitism which she blamed the media for spreading. I just want to set the record straight while theyre here. [ applause ] one of our attorneys is a jew. Reporter former white house chief strategist steve bannon says the race is a referendum on President Trump. This is a national election. Reporter but he also took a shot at ivanka trump who recently criticized moore saying theres a special place in hell for people who prey on children. Theres a special place in hell for republicans who should know better. Reporter meanwhile moores democratic rival, doug jones, urged his supporters to get to the polls. Its just time, folks, that we say no more. Reporter and former nba star and alabama native charles ba barkley says moores politics are holding the state back. We are not just a bunch of damn idiots. Reporter in a rather unusual moment at roy moores rally last night his friend recalled a story from when they served in vietnam. He told the crowd that during their tour there they were unknowingly taken to a brothel with very young girls. He says moore immediately had them both leave. The polls here close tonight at 7 00. Thank you. I mean, you cant make it up sometimes, the comments that were made thats an unusual story to share at this time under these circumstances. Regardless of the point youre making. John, let me ask you because we have those two conflicting polls. What do you make of that . And theres been no early voting so today really matters. I think what you say about the polls is that if we had tea in one of these cups and we looked at the leaves we might get a better sense of whats happening than looking at the polls. Polls in a special election are hard because you dont know what kind of electorate is going to turn out. And then you have the radio activity of this race and the fact that if youre polling on the phone to a republican they may not want to admit theyre a roy moore voter and so we really dont know and thank goodness its election day so we can get a result and stop having to guess. So and of course we must say it all comes down to turnout which is like saying water is wet. Yeah. And we will have the results here tomorrow morning. Yes, we will. Investigators are calling an attempted new york city bombing in a pedestrian tunnel an act of terrorism. A man set off a homemade bomb at the height of yesterdays morning rush hour. Sources confirmed the suspect claimed to be inspired by isis. The explosion hit around 7 20 a. M. Inside an underground walkway linking new york port authoritys bus terminal to 11 subway lines near times square. The area is one of the worlds busiest transportation hubs. The suspect is 27yearold akayed ullah. He came to the u. S. From bangladesh on a family visa six years ago. Ullah was taken to the hospital with injuries from the blast. Five other people were slightly hurt. John miller is the nypds commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism. Hes also our former senior correspondent. John joins us at the table. Always good to have you here. Always good to be here. Welcome to new york, john. I know its very early in the investigation, but what can you tell us about this suspect . What have you learned so far and he motive . This is an individual who came from bangladesh, was livering here, went through a number of jobs, was not particularly struggling financially or under any known pressure who was not on our radar at the nypd, not on the fbi radar and hes somewhat character u. S. Ic of what weve been seeing across the world which is somebody who turns up one day out of the blue. This is the second terrorist attack in new york city in the last two months. How hard is it to stop a lone wolf like this . Well, its very difficult. And its getting harder. This is not the al qaeda model where a cell of people who are communicating with the base are an intelligence problem. This is a situation whether it was the chelsea bomber or the people who ran over the people with the truck or youve got people who are consumers of these propaganda and these plots unfold where theyre not working with anybody else or confiding in anybody else and thats something were still looking at here, where the conspiracy is within the confines of their own mind. And thats a very hard place to get to. When you combine that with the fact that now these devices are encrypted so if you bring it to the manufacturer with a court order, even theyve designed it so that they cant open it and that the applications where they communicate are encrypted so that with a court order you cant get into those communications. You find yourself increasingly behind the 8 ball as the terrorist organizations seize on this and increase the breadth and space of that propaganda whos meant to reach those people who are searching for people. What do we know about the bomb he made and does that tell us anything that can be made at home by a single lone wolf . Well, you know, in bomb making you want to either not make a big mistake or a lot of little ones and its not as easy as these instructions make it out to be, which is a good thing. But if you look at what he attempted to make that bomb out of and what he attempted to make it into, it didnt function with the force and power that the recipe intended it to. I think what we saw yesterday was something that could have been far, far worse. Yeah, and youre able to communicate with him now, so maybe youll get more information. True . Yes. He made statements yesterday after his arrest and and weve learned a lot. All right. Thank you. The massive thomas fire in Southern California threatens 18,000 buildings this morning. Calm winds helped fire crews gain some ground yesterday in the fight against the states largest active wildfire. Officials lifted evacuation orders for much of the city of ventura but the crews are still trying to keep the flames from spreading into santa barbara. The San Francisco mayor died overnight. He was appointed 7 years ago and was reelected twice during San Franciscos high tech boom. Former mayor tells our cbs station in San Francisco that lee collapsed last night while grocery shopping. Brown says lee died of cardiac arrest at a local hospital. Mayor ed lee was 65 years old. 59 female democrats are asking the House Oversight committee to investigate alleged Sexual Misconduct by President Trump. They support a group of women who say they were abused by the president years ago. They first spoke out during the campaign and repeated their claims yesterday. Major garrett is at the white house. Reporter the white house argues that last years Election Results should relegate these accusations and accusers to the sidelines but Many Democrats of congress say the accusations matter and are relevant and that congress should take some action. He kissed me on the lips and it was yeah, disgusting. Reporter Rachel Crooks was a 22yearold receptionist at a real estate tower in 2005. Former miss usa contestant Samantha Holvey said he walked into the dressing room while women were naked, inspecting each from head to toe. Checking us out like were pieces of plate. Leeds said he tried to put his hand up her skirt during a flight over 30 years ago. They cleared the dinner and about that time he jumped all over me. Reporter each of the women called for a congressional investigation into the president s conduct. Mondays event was hosted by producers of a documentary featuring 16 women who accuse the president of making unwanted sexual advances. I dont have anything further to add. Reporter press secretary Sarah Sanders said the president had already addressed the accusation. This took place long before he was elected to be president. President trump resign his position. Reporter five senators have called on the president to resign and ron wyden of oregon said Congress Must investigate. Several accusers came forward after 2005 access Hollywood Video showed the president bragging about sexually assaulting women. Mr. Trump denied groping or kissing women without their consent. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over. Reporter of course the president never filed suit against the accusers. Just moments ago on his twitter account the president called these stories phony and false, called them fake news. One other note, the president is displeased with the u. N. Ambassador for saying all these accusers deserve to be heard. Gayle . All right. Thank you, major. Thats interesting because we heard something very different from the Haley Campaign from the haley team that said he was actually pleased with how she responded yesterday. Yeah, that they spoke twice on the phone. Thank you very much, major. Mario batali is out of the kitchen and off the air this morning. Five women claimed he sexually harassed them on monday. The women accused batali of groping. Another woman shared a similar sto story with cbs this morning. Good morning. Some of these allegations go back two decades. Abc asked mario batali to step away from the talk show the chew and the food network show. The women who spoke did so anonymously because they feared retribution, but batali says their claims do match his past actions. So now were going to make a host of abcs the chew. That is a ragoo of lobster. Toss it through, turn off the heat. Who made italian cuisine chic and popular. But he runs a Business Empire reportedly worth at least 250 million that includes 23 restaurants, 11 cook books and five marketplaces.

Hes still a major celebrity many the the restaurant world. In a statement batali said i take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort i may have caused. He told us chefs didnt give much thought how they treat our staff. We take it like this. So far, none of the allegations involve batalis tv shows, but kludt says their investigation isnt finished. Weve definitely seen an uptick with people coming to us either with their names or anonymously. And batali was reprimanded for inappropriate behavior in the work place as recently as two months ago. All of its employees including batali must undergo Sexual Harassment training and hes not denying any of these charges. Frances president is hosting more than 50 World Leaders in paris today for a summit on climate change. President trump was not invited after his decision to withdraw from the paris climate agreement.

He says hes sha renegotiations. The u. S. Did sign the paris agreement. Its extremely egregious to decide on his own just do leave and no way to push the orders to renegotiate because one decides to leave the floor. Im sorry to say that. It doesnt fly. So sorry, but i think its a big responsibility in front of history and im pretty sure that my friend President Trump will change his mind in the coming months or years. I do hope. You think hell change his mind . Yes, i mean, im not ready to renegotiate but im ready to welcome him if he decides to come back.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Here are three things we think you need to know this morning. President trump says the assisted suicide bomb attack highlights the need for an immigration overhaul. The president said in his statement that the terror suspect quote, entered our country through extended family chain migration which is imcompatible with national security. He pointed to his International Travel ban as an example of the kind of policy that needs to be put in place. The white house says humans will go back to the moon and then on to mars. President trump signed a directive yesterday instructing nasa to refocus americas space program. The president said it marks an important step in returning american astronauts to the moon for the First Time Since 1972. Only 12 people have set foot on the moon, all of them americans. And the jewish holiday of hanukah begins tonight. Its also known as the festival of light. Lighting ceremonies will take place around the world from the white house to the eiffel tower to the kremlin. In a 6month investigation only on cbs this morning we looked into the way Sexual Assault cases are handled by the United States air force academy. We spoke to more than a dozen current and former cadets. Some of them shared their stories yesterday in part one of our series. I was sexually assaulted my freshman year and the Sexual Harassment i endured eventually made me leave. I was terrified of reporting because ive heard of things that happen to people and it did happen to me so its not horror stories. Do you regret reporting the assault . I regret it every day. I regret it every day because of everything that came after. Now in the second part of our investigation, the academys former top official on Sexual Assault reveals troubling information about the way she says cases are handled. And the academy is now responding to our reporting. Is the air force academy supportive of those who report Sexual Assault . I would have to say absolutely not. No. Teresa beasley worked with Sexual Assault survivors for three decades. I think deep down they really dont believe that Sexual Assaults are happening. I think theyre minimizing the severity of them. Do you believe there are some commanders at the air force academy that believe that cadets are making up Sexual Assault charges . Absolutely. They would say it in words such as i find it interesting the timing of this report. Or i am just wondering why this cadet hasnt come forward sooner with this assault. Beasley also told us she believes the academy has covered up the circumstances surrounding two Violent Attacks on female cadets that occurred in december 2014 and january 2015 on the public running and biking trail behind the academy. The details of which have not been reported until now. Cbs news has learned that two attacks on falcon trail behind the air force academy occurred. Yes. Were these attacks Sexual Assaults . Yes, both were hit in the head hard enough to each receive a concussion. Both were hit from behind, somehow they couldnt see anyone coming. Sources tell cbs news both cadets were administered rape kits at local hospitals. But beasley says both cases were prematurely closed by the air forces office of special investigations agents or osi. What happened . They meaning osi told me that they didnt believe her, that they think it was a date that went wrong. And i said, how did she how did she get hit in the head . And they said well, shell have to tell you that. And somehow her it it just they they never investigated it. About a month later we had a second incident. She wasnt believed either. They said she was making it up and when i asked why they said that, this was osi, they said because her time lines dont match. More than a dozen current and former cadets told cbs news theyve experienced retaliation by their peers and their military leadership for reporting Sexual Assaults to the academy. Thats why some victims are afraid to sign this form. Its called a 2910 which is academy uses to document assaults. Cbs news has obtained Defense Department memos that confirm at least 16 cases were deleted for Academic Year 20142015 for not having a signed 2910 beasley believes those cases should have been counted by the air force academy which she says would have rultsed in a Record Number f cases that year. There were actual reports, these are victims that had come in and told their story and had received help, had been referred for medical counseling, they were actual victims but they did not want to sign a 2910 because they were afraid someone would find outs. Do you believe they removed those cases for a reason other than they didnt have that specific form signed . Yes. What was that reason . I believe they wanted to get that number down because it was the highest wed ever had. I was reprimanded and they were trying to they tried to fire me for what they said was intentionally overinflating the numbers. Do you believe you were retaliated against . I absolutely was. Beasley retired amid threats that the academy intended to fire her. A scathing 560 page report of investigation into the office beasley led and accused her of quote, failing to effectively manage staff, spreading rumors and that her offices lack of competency jeopardized care. But some believe the academy have scapegoated her for standing up to leadership. You have to stand up to people who mistreat others and who oppress others and i i did that. And they didnt like it. Now, this superintendent in charge of the academy at the time of these allegations was Lieutenant General michelle johnson. She provided us this following statement. She says quote, when members many the the Sexual Assault prevention and Response Office demonstrated they were not up to that task, we immediately initiated investigation, took actions appropriate to the findings and worked tirelessly to ensure victims received the care they deserved. Now, as for those rapes we reported that were on that trail, johnson says that the u. S. Air force academy and Law Enforcement investigated both those trail allegations exhaustively for several months. Later in our broadcast were going to talk to the air force academys new superintendent. Hes here in studio 57, has joined us from Colorado Springs to respond to these allegations and what the academy is doing in the days and years ahead. Thats ahead here on cbs this morning. Looking forward to talking to him. Great that he came today. It is great. The 11yearold who captured the nations attention in a video about being bullied speaks out to us.

They make fun of my nose, they call me ugly. They say i have no friends. This widely shared video keaton jones shared how kids spilled milk on him and now her mother is experiencing backlash from some other video which shows her and her son with confederate flags. They had said that someone was going to beat me up at lunch and i texted my mom and i said what do i do here . Whose idea was it to make a video . That was my idea. People that are different dont need to be criticized about it. Teaton jones says he has been targeted by five fellow middle schoolers. You never complained to a teacher, you never complained to a principal . No. Because . I was afraid that they would for sure attack. He became more and more agitated. He didnt want to go back to school. Kim jones, the 11yearolds mother was behind the camera and posted the video to her facebook. What do you think of the worlds reaction . I knew that it could be great and i knew that it could be awful. And it has been. The spotlight on keaton also cast attention on to kims prior social media posts including this one where shes holding a confederate flag, a symbol of pride for some and racism for others. Her daughters twitter also contained a family photo with a confederate flag. The only two the only two photos on my entire planet that i am anywhere near a confederate flag. It was ironic. It was funny. It didnt have anything to do with racist intent. No, absolutely not. Ive spent most of my life being judged because i wasnt racist. Thanks to the video, keaton jones went from a bullied middle schooler to a boy with friends around the world. Did the video make you feel better . Made me feel like i had accomplished something real. Something that could actually change the world. This is keatons middle school which plans to hold an Anti Bullying Assembly on monday. The Union County School board here told us they do not and will not tolerate bullying. But keaton told us he doesnt plan to go back to school until january, after the winter break. All right. Thank you. He should be able to go back to school and they should provide the support that he needs to go back to school. Its important to stay focused i think too on the issue of bullying. Thats what i keep saying. Theres a lot of controversy and when you look on social media where the mother is being criticized about the flag and her motives from putting up the video. Theres all sorts of rumors and speculations out there. He was clearly hurt, he was clearly bullied and thats what i keep taking in. That, you know, that boy touched a lot my heart hurt when i watched that and i think a lot of people feel that way. Yeah. But to hear him say he feels like he changed the world he did. Thats better for him. 20 Million People looked at that video in over 48 hours and it made an impact.

Ahead alabama Voters Decide if roy moore or doug jones should go to the senate. Plus, the air force academys new superintendent is right here in studio 57 with a response to the Sexual Harassment claims at the school. And tom hanks and meryl streep stop by to talk about acting together for the first time. But first heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Senator roy moore and democratic candidate doug jones held rallies last night. Thank goodness its election day so we can get a result and stop having to guess. It all comes down to turnout which is like saying water is wet. How hard is it to stop a lone wolf like this . Well, its very difficult. And its getting harder. The white house argues that last years Election Results should relegate these accusations and accusers to the sideline. The food network show, the women who spoke did so anonymously because they feared retribution. For the first time in 35 years, they will allow their citizens to go to movie theaters. Movie theaters have been banned in saudi arabia since the 80s. That was so long ago. The last time you could see a movie in saudi arabia, they were showing things like superman, batman, star wars, blade runner, okay, yeah, they have missed everything. The movies have changed. Im gayle king with Nora Odonnell and john dickerson. Say that three times. Im sorry about that, john. We begin with this. Polls are open in alabama for a special Senate Election with national implications. Republican roy moore hopes to keep the majority while doug jones wants to be alabamas First Senate Democrat in two decades. At a rally last night doug jones told voters to think beyond partisan ties. More dismissed allegations of Sexual Misconduct and urged voters not to listen to outsiders trying to influence the vote. This election for the people of alabama. We dare defend our rights and we will defend our rights in the United States congress. It is time and i think were going to see it tomorrow that the majority of the people of alabama say that it is time that we put our decency, our state before political party. President trump will be keeping a close eye on the results. If moore looses the already narrow margin in the senate gets paper thin for passing the president s agenda. Its also parent to mr. Trumps brand. He campaigned for moores primary challenger and lost. This has now become a high profile debate within the Republican Party and the nation. This morning we continue our six month investigation into Sexual Harassment and assault allegations at the u. S. Air force academy. Youre seeing it only on cbs this morning. Yesterday we shared stories of more than a dozen current and former cadets. They say they were assaulted at the school and faced retaliation for reporting it. This morning we aired our interview with the academys former top official on Sexual Assault. She told us she believes the assault cases. Over the past ten years there have been 287 Sexual Assault reports made by cadets at the academy. That includes 32 reports last school year. Joining us now is the air force academys new superintendent. General, thank you for being here, thank you for traveling all the way from Colorado Spring to talk about this. We appreciate it. As you know, we spoke to cadets who said they were assaulted, they were harassed, even raped. And then that they faced retaliation for reporting it. How do you respond to those cadets . Well, first off, nora, gayle, john, thank you for having me. Its important that im here to talk about this important topic and to do this in person face to face. Im disgusted by those reports. I mean, just like you, i mean, im disgusted by that. Im a parent. I have two children that are in their early 20s that went to college. Their mother, my wife would be horrified if that happened to one of our children so im just as disgusted by that that those assaults happened to those people just as anyone else. What about the fact that they tried to report this to take action and they believe they were retaliated against by their commanders at the academy . So im responsible for the climate and tculture at the air force academy. And its been very clear that i expect the cadets and the faculty and the staff to treat each other with respect and dignity and ive enforced that from the very beginning but its also about accountability and so the office that was providing the support and i know you interviewed someone who was in charge of that office, its about the accountability of that office and so there was some allegations that she made about the office, but she was in a leadership role in that office and while i respect her service in that office, there are standards in that office that we needed to maintain. You ran the piece about General Johnson that she initiated the investigation. She had to take action because our cadets deserve the very best. But Teresa Beasley says when she brought it to the attention that it was minimized, that the people were not believed. To norahs point where she said things were undercut, that people sort of minimalized, people at the academy minimalized. Because she did bring it to the attention and nothing was done. I think thats the answer were trying to get from you. She did bring a number of items to attention and there were a couple of dozen witnesses that were part of the investigation, but i think its important that you dont just focus on Teresa Beasley in that office. We have a number of layers of care that we have for cadets. They have Mental Health professionals, they have student counseling services, they have chaplains that are available for cadets of faith. I mean, we have all of our commanders are trained, they have an accredited masters degree in counseling from the university of colorados system. So so cadets get support the way they want to get support, not the way that someone in an individual Office Thinks they should get support. One of the people norah talked to said you go there because you want to protect your country and they dont protect you. Thats an extraordinary statement. Youve talked about at kblt. What exactly are you doing so that no cadet would ever be able to make that kind of statement . Since ive been there how long have you been there . Since august. Ive made my stance on culture and climate very clear. I have held everyone to a High Standard. Last month we removed a cadet that for Sexual Assault. Last month we also removed a cadet for racial slurs. Ive also held one of our athletic teams to a very High Standard and suspended some coaches and players for not meeting standards. So i think whats important is my role is to set that climate and set that culture at the air force academy. As we reported yesterday, two attacks on a trail near the campus were called physical attacks, but were actually violent rapes. Why didnt the academy warn cadets when that happened . Oh, the academy did warn cadets. The academy did an exhaust iive investigation of that trail and that incident. The investigation was over months. A number of forensics about when people arrived and left the area and we added another measures and protective measures on to the trail so the academy took it seriously. The only public announcement made in the wake of these attacks was on usafas Facebook Page and the academy essentially started a buddy system but they didnt warn they were raped. They just said they were attacked. Well, until we could actually confirm what had happened on there through the through the investigation and through the research of the specific things it was very difficult for General Johnson at the time to then say what specifically happened until they could let me ask you this now. Do you believe that two cadets were raped on that trail . I dont know exactly what happened on the trail. But let me make it very, very clear that whatever happened on the trail, the most important thing is that those cadets get support and that they get care and that their voices are heard and they have an opportunity to talk about with someone to receive that care. Do you think there is a problem, general, at the academy when it comes to Sexual Assault and how its being handled . Do you think that there are problems there . I dont think there are problems and let me tell you why. It is that you talked about some of the reporting of the numbers of Sexual Assaults. I want numbers of reports to go up. I know that doesnt make sense right on the surface, but i want reporting to go up. We know that this is an underreported crime. We know that across the nation and across campuses this is underreported. So i want reporting to go up so that i can provide that care, provide that support. Last year 38 of the assaults that were reported to our offices, 38 were assaults that happened prior to arriving at the air force academy which means some cadets received care and support for something that happened prior to arriving at the academy. Thats why i want to have that available to them, that support. All right. General, thank you so much for being here for this conversation. We really appreciate it. Thank you very jur oscar oners meryl streep and tom hanks will be here. Theyre starring together for the very first time in their new movie the post. Youre watching cbs this morning.

The treasury departments suggestion that tax cuts will more than pay for themselves is under sharp scrutiny. Two nonpartisan groups say tax cuts would add at least a trillion dollars to the deficit. Mark weinberger, ceo and global chairman of ey, hes also assistant secretary and he served on the Social Security Administration Advisory board under bill clinton. Welcome. Thanks, john. President and republicans have sold this as a middle class tax cut. When you look at the tax cut, all that it does, is this a middle class tax kuts . This is a tax cut that will affect every business in the United States. It will increase investment in the United States. It will make the system much more competitive, allow companies to reinvest in workers, bring that foreign cash back to the United States and it does provide for the middle income tax fund. But the truth in advertising thing, mark sanford who cares a lot about debt and deficit which well get to but one says this is a Corporate Tax reduction and restructuring bill. About 9 billion 900 billion of the 1. 5 trillion goes to individual relief through the past two entities, about 4 to 500 billion is for corporate relief. In addition to the tax cuts for the corporations theres a lot of tax increases. It scrapped some 50 credits and deductions. It puts new provisions in to prevent what hay call base erosion from Companies Moving income and asset overseas. It disallowed for the first time interest deductions for highly leveraged companies. That offset some of the tax cuts for the corporations. But will the bulk of the benefit go to middle class families . When the money comes home we have a business round table that did a study and the ceo said 76 would informs more in workers and wages if this tax bill were to pass. 81 would invest in more equipment which would make workers more productive. Is there any evidence that has happened in the past . Its hard to know. In 2001, when i worked for president bush we did a tax cut. In 2001 we had a 1 growth rate. By 2002 it was a 1. 8 . What percent came from the tax cuts, what percent came from growth in the economy, you dont know. In that case it wasnt a business tax cut and it was phased in. This is immediate expensing of equipment. It is immediate drop to Corporate Tax rate. I think its clear that money will come back to the United States in some way or form. Yes, the question i think is there any evidence that those companies will then reinvest that to the workers. Only what the ceos are telling us. You dont know. Its not going to create new demand that doesnt exist today so it will it has to when a u. S. Company gets a tax cut it can only do three things with it. It can invest in new equipment. It can pay workers more money or increased hiring or it could pay the money back to shareholders. You cant do anything else with it. I think youre one of the smartest people on this issue. But thats a pretty big we dont know whether corporations are going to pass that especially if youre going to add 1. 5 trillion to deficit. Democrats and republicans recognize that the u. S. Business system is so anti competitive, theres been we talked about inversions in the last years about Companies Moving their headquarters overseas. What wasnt talked about is the large number of companies acquired by Foreign Companies that no longer in the United States. Its going to arrest that because now its going to make the u. S. A place that companies will want to nvrs. That invest. Today u. S. Multinationals employ 50 million in the supply chain and 75 of the value add, 75 of the r d and two thirds of the workers are where a company is head quartered. You want those businesses to be in the United States. We want it to be a strong economic environment. Great to have you here. Always a pleasure. And you talk fast too so you get so much information. I was thinking that too. I had to get it out. I know. Thank you. Thanks for being here. Ahead, why a former facebook insider says social media is ripping society apart.

There has never been a more exciting exhausting and dangerous time to be an investigative journalist than now especially, of course, for women. Thats meryl streep at this Years Committee to protect Journalists International press freedom awards. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Guess whos here . Meryl streep along with tom hanks. Great to have both of you here. They star in the upcoming movie the post kwtsz. Combined theyve appeared in more than 100 motion pictures. 12 golden globes. But the postmarks the first time if you can believe theyre together on screen together. Streep play it is publisher of the Washington Post. Tom hanks is the editor. The movie shows the papers famous and difficult decision to publish top secret government information from the pentagon papers back in 1971. So can i ask you a hypothetical question . Oh, dear, i dont like hypothetical questions. I dont think youre going to like the real one either. Do you have the papers . Not yet. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh, because you know the the position that would put me in. Meryl and tom, welcome back to the table. Its good to see you both. And congrats on your golden globe nomination. Comic relief for you. You saw the last segment. I saw the last few segments. It is a news program. But yeah, we do like to say we dont say the news is back for nothing, tom hanks. You know that. Buzz th but this is the thing. The nominations yesterday and some of the reactions from the nominees say the first thing i did was put on a boy band song and dance. Is that what the two of you did . She played an old band boy band song. Which one . Would that be the back street boys . Menudo. Oh, even better. All right. All right. Man, thats going deep. I guess its just the way of saying congrats to you on your golden globe nominations. I love this movie and what strikes me is its so relevant for whats happening in the country today. Go tom hanks, go meryl streep. Why did steven spiel berberg said he wanted to make this this year. Why is that so important . Lets speak for our boss, shall we . Heres what he meant by that. The first time anybody saw this was in october, liz hannah wrote a movie about Catherine Graham and the pentagon papers. When the next president of the United States was going to be a woman for the first time in history, things were altered by that, so when we read it in february, we thought well, this we knew what had happened. Yes, we had watched the cbs morning news and was aware that we were on we were in a whole other type of sort of ripped right from todays headlines so to speak. Meryl, tell me about Catherine Graham. The evolution she goes in this movie and this is an extraordinary moment but also an extraordinary moment for her. It was 1971. Its when you wouldnt be in front of the camera, you wouldnt be in it was a world of men really. Except maybe for your mom. I remember what a big deal it was when Barbara Walters broke on to the today show maybe or this morning show, and everybody was very disgruntled and her costars were grumpy about it. It was a world of men. And chimpanzees. Though theyd been in newspapers for years. But she was the owner publisher of the Washington Post and she was one of the few women who was in that position. So when a decision came whether to continue the sort of publication of the pentagon papers which had been begun by the new york times, it came down to her to decide and she felt alone in that position and was, you know, put on the spot and liz hannah, who wrote the screen play said she wanted to show that she was vulnerable but she was not a victim. I thought that was a really good way to describe what we saw. Our movie dedicated to nora efron who is a great journalist and she always said be the heroine of your life, not the victim. And Catherine Graham stepped into a moment of history where she made history and she had a lot going against her in that in that time. Thats part of our story. This week in 1971, it took on, you know, three major major topics that seemed to never go away. Was Catherine Graham becoming Catherine Graham and all the issues of equity and equality that goes along with all that as far as gender goes. A government trying to keep essentially the truth secret so they could continue to hide what was going on the ground in vietnam as well as attack of the First Amendment that freedom of the press, that we felt we were sort of making a museum piece. We were a bit surprised that all three of those would be so pressed forward. I think thats why he wanted to do it this year especially was because of the siege on the free and independent press. Et wills talk about this. Im told that is his voice. Isnt he grate in teat in th . Some of the lines you hear nixon say are exactly, tom, what we hear today from the president of the United States when it comes to the press. The reporter who found the pentagon papers and got contact with samuel elsberg and nixon went after him specifically and we see this repeated where the press is in jeopardy. I mean, when when the state goes after the press, it its a very dangerous situation in a democracy because it gives license all around the world for this to happen. I dont want to give away too much of the film but there is at the end this omoment when the decision comes down from the Supreme Court. Why is it so prominently displayed over there . Spoiler alert. The Supreme Court stands up, you know, for the press. That gives me goose bumps, that moment. I loved hearing, tom, that you guys actually had the pentagon papers on the set . They were scattered everywhere. The shoe box that had 200 pages of it in the scenes where were going through all 7,000 pages, those were the on the floor of the living room. And its extraordinary to read them because individually theres no theres no bomb shell that is found in it. It is a collective weight of ongoing knowledge or evidence or testimony, the fact that the vietnam war was unwinnable, we should never have been there and this is all going on a time i think in 71, over 30,000 soldiers have been killed and how many of them and it made me think of those families. To hear that they died for nothing, really. They knew this was the wrong thing to do. They knew it was not winnable and the great line is that it was fought basically 10 to help the vietnamese, 20 to contain china and 70 to save face. Were 100 out of time. Can i just mention best selling author tom hanks . Are you familiar with this book . You have the book, but no graphics. No skylines. John is fidgeting in this chair. Theyre saying we have to wrap this up and gayle is still talking. Typewriters i might just have to stay. Bump all the rest of the guests. Were taking over the show. You can leave, meryl. I know. I see what ive been drawn on to this show. Thank you. What i love about typewriters wow. This room would be filled with the sound of people writing, not this little clicky, go to commercial. Im going to keep talking. The show opens a week from friday. What he radio playing in background doctor. Doctor. I played a doctor on tv, but now im helping save lives for real. Starting with my own.

Use mine, doctor. Cigna healthspring. Together, all the way. Frances president is hosting the one plant summit today in paris focusing on climate change. President trump was not invited. In his first and only American Network tv interview macron talked to jeff glor about his relationship with President Trump. Jerusalem and climate change. How often do you speak to President Trump . As often as we need. During the past we had probably three to four phone calls together. And you would characterize that relationship as friendly . Yes. You talked about jerusalem. Yes, exactly. And he said what . He say that probably he will announce the fact that he wanted to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. And you told him what . I told him i thought it was a mistake because we work and weve worked altogether on the recognition of two states, israel and palestine with boarders recognized by the international community, and that such a decision is not compliant with our international rules, and will not facilitate a Peace Process because thats a unilateral decision and thats pretty much him leading for the palestinian side. Was that a calm conversation . Was that a confrontational conversation . I think its always open and direct communication. You can agree to disagree, which is the case on some issues. The United States will withdraw from the paris climate accord. I was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. President trump says its bad news because its bad for the american workers, bad for the american people. Is that fair . What he means, what he wants to say expressing this point, its bad for american workers, is just to say i will have to close all plants, and all this stuff. I mean, its true. You will have to switch to another one. And its understandable not to deal with reality and what we know. What we have to protect is people, not jobs. If you want to protect people you retrain them, you help them in order to change their jobs to new ones much more adidnaptive consistent. Why do you think the president pulled out of this . Certainly wasnt elected by you guys and as the president of the american people, and second it took a micommitment with his campaign. We have a very good personal relationship and i do believe its important to have on board the u. S. Government and the americans, but i do respect him and i do respect his decisions, so im not saying he doesnt understand and doesnt share the analysis, but just it took a political commitment. How much has the withdrawal affected your efforts . I think the withdrawal to be totally fair with you created a huge momentum for me to create a counter momentum. I launched the same day of the announcement of President Trumps decision to leave paris agreement, i took an initiative called make it great again. It creates a huge mobilization of a lot of countries saying i do confirm and you had the u. S. Announcement, an acceleration of the process in a lot of countries. So you say youre in better shape now because of this withdrawal that the president did you a favor . I think we have a momentum because i think we are have two phenomenon. Withdraw of the United States which to me is a mistake but its okay, we have to react and do something because its impossible to leave the floor to the dismantling of the paris agreement. Second, a deep wakeup call for the private sectors and some others to say wow, so we have to react. Otherwise, that too becomes a little bit shaky. Just think one second that if we decide not to decide, if we decide not to move and not to change our way to produce or invest, to behave, we decide, you decide to condemn billions of people. Thats a big decision. And we will i mean, all of us will be judged for that. Jeff glors full interview with the french president will be airing today on our streaming network cbsn.

Nick foles will play quarterback. We check in with katie with a look at the forecast. Allinall here jim the main headline really is the cold thats waiting our area. We do have a front thats being dragged through the region, as well, and it is really somewhat moisture starved as it pertains to our area. Looking for precipitation specially you got to go pretty far north, northeast extension, specially upstate new york but you may finds very modest accumulation of snow in the poconos, for example. And just a spotty rain shower here in the city. Heres how it feels tomorrow, though, yes, pretty brutal cold, guys. Again even though this is what the thermometer reads, thats what you must go by. No better than Single Digits for the city tomorrow morning, no better for the teens during the afternoon, high officially hits 31. So, it is the colds air thus far this season, not like weve never seen it before, but will be very harsh tomorrow. Makes me cold just thinking about it, all right, katie. Thank you so much. So, were still looking at the city. We had septa train crash, warminster lansdale, Regional Rail line that goes through glennside hit unoccupied vehicle. Take a look at that, removing some that were injured possibly from the train, the line is currently suspended, until further notice. And, also, take a look, look at this, we have some, another accident here, this is the onramp from Germantown Pike westbound. This will cause you also some significant backups.
