Pelley for the first time, the president faces a house and senate controlled by the republican party. Two men will decide which part of president obamas agenda becomes law. They are the speaker of the house, john boehner of ohio, and the new Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell of kentucky. This past week, we sat down with them at the capitol for their first joint interview since the big republican gains in the midterm election. They had just heard the president lay out his vision. Barack obama i have no more campaigns to run. My only agenda. applause laughter i know because i won both of them. cheers and applause pelley what was your impression of the president s state of the union speech . Mitch mcconnell my first thought, it was. It sounded like he was running for a third term. He seemed to have completely forgotten or chose to ignore the election last november. He was looking out at an audience that had 80 more republicans in it than his first state of the union. Pelley mr. Speaker, i think your reaction to the state of the union was written all over your face. It must be a hell of a thing to sit behind the president knowing that 30 million americans are watching you for an hour. Do you practice that scowl . John boehner no. I stare at the back of the president s head. And my goal is to make no news. This is the president s night, and so i sit there and try to make no news. Although, inside, ive got a lot of things rolling through my mind. Obama our deficits cut by twothirds. A stock market that has doubled and Health Care Inflation at its lowest rate in 50 years. cheers and applause this is good news, people. laughter pelley unemployment has fallen to 5. 6 , gasoline prices are down, the stock markets are up. The economy grew by 5 in the third quarter. Thats the fastest rate in more than a decade. You dont congratulate the president for that . Mcconnell look, things are getting better. But the point is, who is benefiting from this . This has been. A top of the income recovery. The socalled 1 that the president s always talking about, have done quite well. But middle and lower income americans are about 3,000 a year worse off than they were when he came to office. Pelley is income inequality a problem in this country . Is it a problem that republicans want to address . Boehner it is. And frankly, the president s policies have made income inequality worse. All the regulations that are coming out of washington make it more difficult for employers to hire more people, chief amongst those, i would argue, is obamacare, which basically puts a penalty or a tax on employers for every new job they create. Pelley from the president s state of the union address, let me ask you dead or alive raise taxes on the wealthy . Boehner why would he want to raise taxes on people . Pelley ill take that as a dead. Boehner dead, real dead. Pelley make Community College free of charge, dead or alive . Mcconnell we added more debt during the obama years than all the president s from George Washington down to george bush. And giving away free tuition strikes me as something we cant afford. Pelley ill put that down as dead as well. Increasing the federal minimum wage . Boehner bad idea. Pelley dead . Boehner its a bad idea. Ive had every kind of rotten job you can imagine growing up and getting myself through school. And. And i wouldnt have had a chance at half those jobs if the federal government had kept imposing higher minimum wage. You take the bottom rungs off the economic ladder. Pelley finally, dead or alive, tripling the childcare tax credit for working families . Boehner were all for helping working class families around america. I think well take a look at this when he sends his budget up, something that could be looked at in the overall context of simplifying our tax code and bringing rates down for everyone. Mcconnell i would just add trade. Virtually every republican in the audience the other night stood up and applauded when the president talked about trade. Pelley speaking to folks at the white house the other day, they told us that one of the areas they thought there was a chance for progress is on infrastructure in this country roads and bridges. What do you think . Boehner we agree. You know, the biggest problem i have is that the Highway Trust Fund, which is funded by gasoline taxes, continues to shrink as cars get more and better mileage standards. And so the money thats in the Highway Trust Fund isnt sufficient to meet the infrastructure needs of the country. Pelley you can fix that. You can raise the gas tax. Hasnt been raised in decades. Boehner well, listen, when the democrats controlled the house, the senate, and the white house, they couldnt increase the gas tax. We believe that, through tax reform, a couple of other options that are being looked at, we can find the funds to fund a longterm highway bill. Its critically important to the country. Pelley the republicans leaders also told us they intend to take initiative on Foreign Policy. Will you pass additional sanctions on iran to stop their Nuclear Program . Boehner very concerned about the iranians, the threat that they could be developing a nuclear weapon. And i believe and, i think, the house believes, that more sanctions, if they dont come to an agreement, are in order. Pelley the president said in his speech that you will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails if you do that. Boehner i disagree with the president. Mcconnell under the proposal were considering, those enhanced sanctions would only occur if a deal is not reached. In other words, it further incentivizes the iranians to reach an agreement because they know things could get considerably worse if they did not. Pelley mr. Speaker, the day after the state of the union address, you invited the israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu a critic of the president s Foreign Policy to come to speak to a joint session of congress. You blindsided the white house with that. Boehner i gave them a heads up that morning. But theres nobody in the world who can talk about the threat of radical terrorism, nobody can talk about the threat that the iranians pose not just to the middle east and to. And to israel, our longest ally, but to the entire world, but bibi netanyahu. Pelley was tat some kind of a brushback pitch, sort of telling the president , look, if youre going to go your own way on Foreign Policy, two can play at that game . Boehner the president didnt spend but a few seconds talking about the threat, the terrorist threat that we as americans face. This problem is growing all over the world. And you know, the president is trying to act like its not there. But it is there. And its going to be a threat to our homeland if we dont address it in a bigger way. Obama and tonight, i call on this congress to show the world that we are united in this mission by passing a resolution to authorize the use of force against isil. Pelley will you pass a measure authorizing the use of force against isis . Boehner we will. Pelley will your measure outlaw Ground Troops . Boehner well, well have a discussion with the members and with the white house on whether thats appropriate. But i dont want to limit the president s ability to take on the terrorist threat directly. Mcconnell i think what is required is that we defeat isis. And as john has indicated, it will require boots on the ground. The question is, whose boots . And i think itd be a very foolish mistake for us to say in advance what we wont do. And nobodys advocating a use of american Ground Troops there at this point. But why in the world would we want to send a message to our enemies what we will or wont do in the future. Obama today, our immigration system is broken. Pelley we also wondered about the president s decision to bypass congress with his own immigration reform. The president has temporarily protected about five million Illegal Immigrants in this country from deportation. The house just passed a bill to block that. And i wonder, mr. Leader, are you going to pass a similar bill in the senate . Mcconnell well, you know the president said on 22 different occasions that he didnt have the authority to do what he did. Of course, the 22 occasions occurred before last novembers election. Since the elections out of the way, he did exactly what he said he didnt have the authority to do. So we will try to pass the house bill when it comes over to us. And i think itll be vigorously supported by the vast majority of my members. Pelley hes going to veto that bill if it reaches his desk. Is that governing, just sending bills up to the white house that are going to get vetoed . Mcconnell look, can i Say Something about vetoes . The president s vetoed two bills in six years, two little bills over technicalities. The reason was the senate never sent him anything that caused him any discomfort. In our system, its. Its going to happen occasionally. President s veto bills there are differences of opinion between congress and president s thats not unheard of in our system. Pelley president obamas job Approval Rating is 46 . Its pretty poor. But the job Approval Rating for the congress is 15 . What do you say to the 85 of the American People who think youre doing a lousy job . Mcconnell i would say theyre right. Hey, i wouldnt vote to approve this congress. And from a senate perspective, i can. I can tell you the senate has been essentially dysfunctional for four years. I mean, its basically been shut down. And these guys on the house side have passed lots and lots of legislation. It would come over to the senate, and literally nothing would happen i mean, absolutely nothing. Boehner over the last few years, we sent 400 bills over to the senate that never received action. Almost all of them passed on a bipartisan basis. Never got considered. Pelley thats because, as you would expect, the previous Democratic Senate leadership used tactics to hamstring bills from the republican house. Now, with both chambers in republican hands, mcconnell says more bills are going to get a vote. Critics have often said, and this stings the president , that he should do more to reach out to republicans invite them over to the white house, have them over for dinner, play golf with them, that sort of thing. But many people dont realize that republicans turn down those invitations because they tell the white house they cant be seen with the president. How is anything going to happen in the city of washington if the two parties cant be seen together . Boehner listen, the president and i talk and i know mitch talks to the president. And we had a meeting at the white house last week. It was all very cordial, it was all very straightforward. I dont think. I dont think thats the issue. You know, the president could have, with the state of the union, just put out an olive branch, couldve taken just a little bit different tone that wouldve indicated to us that theres some interest in working with us. I can tell you, were interested in working with him. Pelley mr. Speaker, can you bring the tea party in line . There are Tea Party Groups that hold fundraisers under the heading of lets fire the speaker. They dont think youre very conservative. Boehner well, my voting record is as conservative as anybody here. The issue with the tea party isnt one of strategy, its not one of different vision. Its. Its a disagreement over tactics, from time to time. Frankly, a lot is being driven by National Groups here in washington who have raised money and just beating the dickens out of me. Pelley conservative groups raising money, beating the dickens out of you. Boehner beating the dickens out of me. Well, you know, because it works. They raise money, put it in their pocket, and pay themselves big salaries. Pelley how Many Republican parties are there . Boehner well, theres one. And we continue to work to bring those members along, and they bring them along. And. But its always a work in progress. Pelley the president often says that he cant be the leader of just one party, that he has to be the president for all of the united states. And i wonder whether either of you lay claim to that same responsibility of uniting the country, rather than dividing it . Boehner i dont want to divide the country. We try to do everything we can up here to help unite the country. But having this debate is the american way. Mcconnell were not divided on our love for and support for the country. We have very different views, as adams and jefferson did, about what america ought to be like. And we resolve that through the democratic process. And so, i would not view with alarm the fact that there are robust debates going on in congress over the future of this country. Cbs money watch update sponsored by lincoln financial.

Whitaker Police Chiefs from the countrys biggest cities meet in washington tomorrow. It comes at a time of crisis for policing in america. First, there were the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of white cops in ferguson, missouri, and in new york city. Then, when it seemed things could not get worse, a black man claiming revenge assassinated two new York City Police officers. We have been following the division between the police and the public in the city of cleveland. It reached a critical stage when a city cop killed 12yearold tamir rice as he played with a toy gun. The cleveland p. D. Was already under investigation by the Justice Department for widespread use of excessive force. Now, its up to the citys chief of police, Calvin Williams, to calm the outrage and reform a department in one of the most violent cities in america. Are there bad guys within the Police Department . Calvin williams of course there are. And its my job to make sure we weed out the bad people from this division, and that we nurture and grow and support the good officers that are out there. Hang tight for a second while you guys sit in the car and let me talk to the commander, all right . All right. Williams okay. Whitaker chief Calvin Williams has been a cop in cleveland for 29 years. Hes faced one crisis after another since assuming command in february. No incident in cleveland has been more horrifying than the killing of tamir rice. Security camera video captured rice playing with a pellet gun. The police pulled up, and within two seconds, an officer shot the boy. On the left, you see tamirs 14 yearold sister being tackled by police as she rushed to her dying brother. The police ride up, and almost even before the door is open the 12yearold boy is shot. Williams a 12yearold boy lost his life, period. And what makes it even more difficult for me, not just as a person that lives in the city but as a chief, is that that happened at the hands of a Police Officer. Whitaker the rookie officer who killed rice was hired by the cleveland p. D. , even though another Police Department had found him emotionally unfit and forced him to resign. How did he get hired by the cleveland Police Department . Williams those are things that are under investigation that were definitely taking a second, a third, and a fourth look at. Whitaker how did he slip through . Williams we know some of the things that happened in that process, and were even at this moment changing the way some of that is done. Whitaker prosecutors are investigating the rice case. Protests against, and in support of police, have continued in cleveland ever since the shooting. Youve got a predominantly black city, and a majority white police force. Does that need to change . Williams diversity is always, always at the forefront of what im trying to do in this city. But if you come from the premise that only an African American can police other African Americans, then were all doomed to failure. Whitaker youve heard about the talk that many African American families have with their young sons to watch out when they have an encounter with the police. Is that unnecessary . Williams well, bill, i dont want to minimize that, because i know that happens a lot in minority communities. I can say, from a personal standpoint, you know, i have a 24yearold son and ive never had that talk with him. You know, i expect him to be respectful and to act properly no matter who hes encountering, whether its a Police Officer or a news anchor person. Is there something that happens in this country between African Americans or minorities and Law Enforcement . Yes, it does happen. Whitaker the city asked the u. S. Justice department in 2013 to investigate the cleveland p. D. After more than 100 Police Officers joined a high speed chase and fired 137 times at this car, killing two unarmed people inside. Police mistook their car backfire for gun shots. Last month, the Justice Department report found a pattern of unnecessary and excessive use of deadly force, and it described an us against them mentality between the police and the community. Whats more, some suspects were beaten, pepper sprayed, and tasered, even after they were already in custody. The report found a pattern of excessive use of force. You disagree with that . Williams yes, i do. Whitaker the report found that it was systemic within the division. You disagree with that . Williams yes, i do. Whitaker what do you agree with . Williams i agree that there are some issues within the Cleveland Division of police as they pertain to use of force, as they pertain to reporting, and community issues. And we are working diligently, both with the department of justice and with the community to make sure that we correct those things. Whitaker theres a memorial here at the spot where 12year old tamir rice was shot. But this park is Hallowed Ground for Police Officers, as well. Less than 100 yards away are memorials to two officers killed in the line of duty. One was murdered by a drug dealer. The other was shot by a rape suspect. When it comes to pain in cleveland, there isnt much distance between the people and the police. Six cleveland cops have been killed in the last 20 years. Danger and stress take their toll. A Police Officers Life Expectancy here and around the country is ten years shorter than the average american. Officers shane bauhof and eric newton patrol clevelands 4th district, the most dangerous beat in the city. They told us about a struggle with a drunk suspect who tried to grab newtons gun. Eric newton theres safeguards to keep it from just coming out. Coming straight out. But, i mean, you can hear that and i can feel it tugging on my hip. Whitaker hes trying to pull it out. Newton with both hands. Whitaker were you scared . That had to be frightening. Newton its terrifying. Youre keenly aware of what the consequences are if he is successful in doing that. Whitaker does it still haunt you . Newton i dont think id use the word haunt. I find myself thinking about it now every time i talk to somebody. Whitaker they have been partners for six years, and have never wanted to work in any other neighborhood. Shane bauhof i dont live here, but this is my community. A lot of times, in a busy week i spend more time here than with my own family at home. Its not me against them; im out here protecting. Whitaker the murder rate in cleveland last year was higher than in chicago, new york, or los angeles. 103 people were killed in cleveland, 42 in this neighborhood. This day, the wind chill was 20 below zero, but newton and bauhof kept the car window open so they can hear gunfire. This is the most dangerous area right here. Absolutely. Yes. Bauhof i can tell you, there are some individuals in the community who do scare me a great deal, given the types of things theyve done in the past and the arrests weve made. Yeah, they scare me. If an officer comes out here and says hes not scared of anything, hes a liar. Whitaker how do you protect and serve people youre afraid of . Williams you know, if you look at things that have happened around the country, both to other people and the Police Officers, some of that fear is warranted. Because there are people out there that mean harm to Police Officers. Whitaker one of the problems exposed in the Justice Department report was how the Cleveland Police improperly deal with the mentally ill. Tanisha anderson had a history of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Two months ago, she was disoriented and outside in the cold wearing a nightgown. Her brother joelle and her mother casandra called for an ambulance. Two Police Officers responded instead. Joelle anderson she was treated like a criminal instead of a human being that had a right, you know, to get some help. Whitaker the family and the cops agreed that tanisha needed to go to the hospital. But when police moved to put her in the squad car, her brother saw her panic. How was she behaving . Anderson she was just holding onto the car doors. Whitaker not allowing them to push her in. Anderson right, thats all she was doing, just holding onto the car doors. Casandra johnson ive never seen so much force from a big hand crunched down on somebodys head like that, just constantly, constantly trying to get her in the car. And im like, what is going on . Is she a criminal or what . Anderson the big cop, he slammed my sister. Whitaker he slammed her . Anderson he slammed her. He snatched her off the car, the inside of the police car and he slammed her. Whitaker and he slammed her to the ground . Anderson to the ground. I never will forget that. Whitaker the officers say that tanisha was kicking at them and resisting them. Anderson thats absolutely untrue. I was there, i know. Whitaker the family says one officer put his knee in her back as he cuffed her face down on the sidewalk. She stopped moving. They waited 20 minutes for an ambulance. She was pronounced dead at the hospital. Tanisha anderson was 37. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. The Anderson Family is suing cleveland, and has demanded all officers be trained to deal with the mentally ill. Williams its another incident that we definitely feel sorry that it happened, period. Whitaker do your officers have training in how to deal with the mentally ill . Williams yes, some of our officers do. We have approximately close to 450 officers that are trained in crisis intervention. Whitaker 450 out of how many . Williams out of approximately 900 that are in patrol. The agencies that were in place, id say ten years ago, to handle things with the families, to handle things with mental illness, to handle things with addiction arent there anymore. People call 911, we have to respond. Whitaker the department received a staggering 400,000 calls for assistance last year more than one call per resident. Chief williams says he wants his officers to stop responding to so many nonemergency calls, and instead get out of their squad cars and get to know the community. But it can be uncomfortable for police, which is exactly what we saw when we asked officers newton and bauhof to meet with some of the people they serve at this community center. What is the perception of the police . In this neighborhood, its not that good. Some people get that badge on they chest, and they think they become superman. They got a right to take on the world. Whitaker how do you differentiate these kids from the ones you call the bad guys . Bauhof one of the things is probably a smile and a wave and how you doing, officer . Instead of spitting. Whitaker why do you think they would spit at you . Bauhof not everyone likes the police. It seems like every time a young, black man is involved they shoot first, ask questions later. Bauhof me and my partner have arrested hundreds of gun arrests. Neither one of us have ever fired our gun at anybody. Whitaker eric, you been kind of quiet here. Newton well, im listening. Whitaker what are you hearing . Newton more communication. Ive never encountered a situation that couldnt benefit from more communication. Whitaker the Justice Department is insisting on reforms, including new rules on the use of deadly force and faster ways to discipline bad cops. Williams unfortunately, it takes time. You know, i for one would love to be able to wave my magic wand and have this change tonight. Good morning. Good morning, chief. Whitaker after spending four days with chief williams, you get the sense that hes disgusted, even furious that the actions of some of his officers have so badly damaged the reputation of the department hes risked his own life for. Williams i had people actually trying to take my life on four separate occasions. And i survived that. I could give you a whole list of officers attacked with Deadly Weapons that survive and dont end up using deadly force against that person. Whitaker whats at stake here for cleveland . Williams everything. Everythings at stake. I mean, i talk to people every day that say, we support you and we know you have a difficult job to do with the division of police. But we know, in the end, this Police Department will be better. And if thats not the case at the end of this, then i failed at my job. And i hate to fail. Bill whitaker talks about the talk.

Andre agassi had his father, mike. Martina hingis her mother, melanie. Chinese champion li na, who became one of the highestpaid and mostwatched female athletes in the world, had a tennis parent, too. Hers was her countrys staterun sports system. One of tenniss big grand slam tournaments, the Australian Open, is underway this week, but without li na. After she won last year, she hung up her racquet, leaving the sport after a remarkable career remarkable not just because she won two grand slams, but because she stood up to the chinese authorities to win some freedom. When li na reached the finals of the french open in 2011, 116 Million People were watching her back home in china. They were hoping she would make history and become the First Chinese citizen ever to win a grandslam tennis tournament. And with this point, she did. cheers and applause li na i was lying on the ground and the hand was in the face. And then i saw, wow, blue sky. cheers and applause and i try to cry, but i cannot because so exciting. applause madams et messieurs. Stahl it was the crowning achievement of her career up to that point. But she had barely lowered the trophy when she was accused of being ungrateful by failing to properly thank her country for making the victory possible. One headline called it, chinas victory. Li na laughs stahl they felt that the country had put so much money and effort into training you that it was their victory. And you just didnt see it that way. Li na translated i just thought i was fulfilling my dream. Stahl as she told us in both chinese and english, she felt it was her victory as an individual, not as part of a collective. By then, li na had been questioning the chinese mindset and standing up to the authorities for years. You looked, to me anyway, to be incredibly brave. You challenged the way things were. You were just a little girl, you know. You were just one person. Li na translated because i had a goal. I didnt care about the obstacles. I was just heading towards my goal. Stahl she inherited the goal from her father, who had enrolled her in chinas sports system at an early age, hoping she would follow in his footsteps and play badminton. She wasnt very good, and a coach suggested she try tennis. Did your parents even know what tennis was . Li na no. Stahl no. Li na translated i remember my parents used to call it fuzzy ball. Stahl they didnt even call it tennis. Li na translated because, back then, not many people in china knew about tennis. Stahl by the time she was eight, she was practicing six days a week on these courts in the provincial city of wuhan. Li na lived with other players in a spartan, staterun sports school. Thats her on the upper right with the shortcropped hair. You look like a little boy. Li na yeah. Stahl did that bother you . Li na no. Stahl what did bother her was the constant stream of criticism from her childhood coach, yu liqiao, seen here grabbing her arm. Li na the way she speak, everyone think she pretty angry, you know. Yeah, so i was, like, scared. Stahl she was always making you feel you werent good enough. Li na yeah. Push me a little bit. laughs stahl you hated her . Li na yes. laughs stahl the coachs brutal method was hardly unusual in the chinese sports system, which was modeled on the soviet unions. To this day, china operates a vast network of sports academies that have been criticized for overtraining their young athletes, causing psychological stress, and providing inadequate educations. At 15, li na became the youngest person ever to win the National League singles finals, but she was lonely and depressed. Her father had died and her mother had fallen deeply in debt.
