We cant do nothing about it so you might as well deal with it, i guess. The president elect made another stop on his victory tour this time in iowa. No task is too great. No dream too large.

He was the First American to orbit the earth. Oh, that view is tremendous. With a huge majority south koreas parliament voted to i impeach park geunhye.

It has the taste of something you lost interest in around september. And all that matters. Donald trump this weekend will give his first sunday morning news interview since the election. And its a big sacrifice for him because sunday morning is usually when he tweets about saturday night live. On cbs this morning. Mr. Trump picking former worlds wrestling entertainment ceo Linda Mcmahon to lead the Small Business administration. Which is why our economys new catch phrase is going to be lets get ready to crumble. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. As you wake up in the west back to back storms are slamming much of the country with heavy snow, wind and freezing rain. Parts of the Pacific Northwest are under Winter Weather warnings. Snow and ice hit portland and seattle last night. The first big snow event of the season will bring heavy snowfall to the mountains through tomorrow. David beg that you had is outside portland on the snowy slopes of mt. Hood. Good morning. Good morning. I hope youre enjoying that studio warmth. We are on mt. Hood, its 25 degrees and the snow is going sideways this morning. But, man, its pretty including these frozen over trees. So at the lower elevations after you get down from the cascades going toward the portland area flights have been canceled in and out of the portland airport, schools closed early, so did county government offices letting people get home. The roads have been treacherous, driving is dangerous, one person has already been killed in a crash that happened over the last 24 hours. In the seattle area the National Weather service tweeted a photo of what was snow on their roof. Seattle hadnt had measurable snow in the last two years, the last time was february of 2014 and it was only about three inches. Again, this is the first big event of the Winter Service here in the Pacific Northwest and, charlie, i tell you what, where its dangerous its also beautiful and inconvenient. Guss what happened when we went to our crew car this morning, the back door was frozen. I have tips for you. If you use a key to get in your door lock and its frozen dip the key in vaseline or alcohol, both are known to work well. All right. Thank you. Vaseline and alcohol together. Good advice. Thats a tip we havent heard before. Thats true. Youre welcome from cbs this morning. Lakeeffect snow in the east triggered serious accidents including this massive Chain Reaction crash near erie, pennsylvania. At least 15 people were taken to hospitals. Interstate 90 was shut down for hours. Ali ingersoll of wivb is outside of buffalo, new york. Ali, good morning. Good morning. Its been snowing all throughout the night into the morning here. This lake effect has dropped about a foot of snow, you can see it on the sidewalk and the shrubs here, its causing issues for roads all over from here to the middle of the country. Dangerous and deadly storms blasted the east coast and midwest thursday. Crews fought against fast falling snow but icy roadways led to dangerous conditions. Vehicle accident i 90 westbound 10 to 15 vehicles involved. In erie, pennsylvania, part of interstate 90 looked more like an abandoned junkyard. One vehicle through the median head on into a semi. Heavy snowfall triggered a crash involving at least 13 vehicles, 15 people were reportedly hurt. Further down i 90 near the pennsylvania border a 75car pile up shut down the interstate. It remained closed for hours in both directions. The tires have fallen off of the trailer. This man was stranded for nearly an hour. Pretty aggravated about it, you know, im trying to get home, its cold in this weather. In michigan a semitractor jackknifed across i 96 shutting down most of the highway, a massive 40 car pile up killed three people and injured 11 more. As the ground is getting to that temperature its starting to ice over, compounded with the quick snow squall or whiteout and i think were all contributing factors. The problem now is for roads like this one next to he into, theyre starting to ice over causing cars to skid. While this storm is supposed to end soon, people are bracing for another one early next week. Ali, thanks. Chief weather castor lonnie quinn of wcbs is tracking the storm. Good morning. These are big players out there. Were going to talk about the snow and cold air. I want to start off with the snow. Look, theres going to be big totals around the great lakes with the lakeeffect snow but the real big totals will be in the Pacific Northwest. Whats going on . You have not this low pressure system sitting offshore and it is spinning and spinning and spinning and what its doing, its dragging in moisture. That moisture tail depose all the way out to hawaii. So there will be huge totals in the mountains. Take a look at what were talking about. Wasatch you may see that 1 to 3 foot range but the cascades 2, 4 feet of snow, possibly 5 feet of snow and it looks like it wants to stick around as well because its all about the temperatures. Look at this, i know weve been talking a lot about bismarck, north dakota, again, you are the icebox in the country, 13 below at 2 00 in the afternoon it what it feels like when you factor in the winds could feel as cold as 25 below zero at that hour. Over the next 8 to 14 days you are looking at the temperature staying below average in the Northern Plains extending all the way to new england and for places like bismarck, you know, today on the thermometer it gets up to maybe 2 below zero, tomorrow i think they will hit 1. 1 degree for all my friends there in bismarck. Over to you, norah. President elect trump goes back to campaigning today in louisiana. Where our Runoff Election for an open senate seat is tomorrow. He will also go to michigan after stopping in columbus, ohio and des moines eye yesterday. His Approval Rating road rose to 41 during the transition, thats 10 points below george w. Bush in 2001 and more than 30 points less than president obama in 2008. Major garrett is covering the trump transition. Good morning. Good morning. The president elect traveled to iowa last night thats a Battle Ground state he won handily. While there vowed to stop extremism, thanked women for his vote and praised himself for cabinet choices he said will make the country rich again. Yet one more tragic reminder that immigration security is now national security. No more games, folks. No more games. At his third thank you rally in iowa president elect donald trump said the ohio state knife attack by a somali born reffy is another example of americas broken immigration system and he has a plan to fix it. Theyre going to come in through a process, come in legally and were going to see that these people have true capability to love us. To love us not to hate us. Making a point to praise female voters to played a substantial role in his victory mr. Trump offered more than just gratitude. Im asking congress to pass legislation to make safe and affordable child care accessible to all while fighting to get higher pay for women, women in the workforce. Thats what has to happen. The president elect has drawn criticism for stocking his administration with millionaires and billionaires, seven so far and counting. He called it part of the plan. Because i want people to make a fortune because now theyre negotiating with you. Fast Food Restaurant ceo Andrew Puzder as labor secretary. Puzder is ceo of Cke Restaurants the Parent Company of carls jr. And hardees. Puzder opposes raises the minimum wage, arguing it cuts jobs by unnecessarily increasing labor costs. He wrote a book entitled job creation how it really works and why government doesnt understand it. People who would rely on Big Government instead of free markets simply do not understand how jobs and kraers are careers are created. The president elect will carry another title into the oval office, executive producer of the show he once hosted, the celeb brit apprentice. The executive producer credit does not mean americas chief executive to be will have an active role in the reality tv show. It does mean mr. Trump will receive royalties for an idea he helped conceive and a show he holds a stake in. This is perfectly normal in show base and president s have made outside income before, usually from book royalties, president obama reported 5. 1 million in book sales his first year in office. Charlie, that amount fell to 56,000 last year. Thanks, major. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is with us. Good morning, charlie. Lets talk about tweeting. Lets talk about tweeting. A method of criticizing the wealth of his cabinet and how trump responds. Well, i think he i mean, Donald Trumps argument is these people have been successful in private enterprise and they will be really successful in government. The request he is a couple things. One, what does success mean to donald trump, if your job is to bring in and dismantle a department thats a different level of success than we would have seen in the past. The second thing is do they have a Public Service instinct. Thats different than in private enterprise. You care about the public good youre not just caring about the bottom line. The other thing is what truman said about eisenhower which is when you come in and you are a general and you are used to issuing orders sometimes the bureaucracy says just doesnt listen. So if youre used to being in private enterprise where people do exactly what you say whats it going to be like when you come into government. President obama and his administration and his labor secretary put in a lot of what they call worker protections. If you install someone like who hes nominating for the labor secretary what kinds of things on a practical effect might a Worker Experience . Well, mr. Puzder there are two things, one that work enforcement of worker protections, enforcement of all the existing regulations that are there, then there would be removing what they would see as burdensome on business. So everything from paperwork to i mean, a lot of it is osha, a lot is Workplace Safety stuff. The other thing is being on the lookout for new things. Im arguing now from sort of the obama case. As a labor secretary would be on the lookout for new and possible abuses of two,ers that if the interests are not aligned the way they would be in the Obama Administration you wouldnt have that kind of always searching the landscape for ways to protect workers. Now what they would say on the trump side is this he would be on the lookout for ways to make it easier for businesses to work in an unfettered way which creates greater profits that then go back to the workers. Hes scheduled to have his first News Conference next week where hes going to play out his plans, what hes going to do with his company. Whats at stake for him at this event next week. I guess is there anything at stake for him next week . Were kind of learning still what it means for things to be at stake for donald trump. In other words, in the old days we would have said, well, he wants to show that hes president ial, he wants to show that he can get through a press conference, but donald trump is redesigning this job and so he will do you could imagine what he has tried to do all throughout the campaign which was take an old form, a press conference and use it in his own way. Remember when he told his press kmpss essentially into pr events for his hotel. You can imagine he will try to capture this do we expect to see the president of the United States my original question simply to be tweeting throughout his presidency and making comments about everything that comes to under the sun. No followup to a tweet. There are people advising donald trump and Newt Gingrich has said it out loud stop doing this. The president ial voice is one that you can squander. It is not it is not a good that just is constantly renewing and you need to do this judiciously. We saw during the campaign there were times that he stopped this tweeting, but he is a he has successfully learned how to create chaos and operate within it. One of the ways i creates chaos is through his tweets. Its a very useful way for him to get his message out but also change the landscape. Thanks, john. Thank you. On sunday on face the nation john interviews the president elects Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway plus senators john mccain and bernie sanders. Thats sunday here on cbs. Another good show for John Dickerson. Thats what he does. A South Carolina courtroom will see dylann roofs videotaped confession to the Charleston Court shootings. Shootings. Yesterdays testimony included crime scene photos and a timeline of this attack. Three cameras mounted a above the doorway show parishioners arriving. Dylann roof arrives 8 17 after about an hour inside the video shows him leaving with a gun in his right hand. Roof told investigators he was surprised that police were not there waiting for him. More Video Evidence shows that roofs capture the next morning in north carolina. Roofs attorney does expect a guilty verdict but he says he should not get the death penalty. A Second Police officer was died after a shooting in georgia. Jodi smith was shot wednesday while responded to a domestic disturbance call. Nick lar smarr was also shot he died at the scene. The two were lifelong friends who attended the Police Academy together. They were both planning weddings for next year. The fbi joined more than 20 Law Enforcement agencies in the manhunt for miguel lembrick. He was found dead yesterday in a home where he was hiding. Police salem brick shot himself as a s. W. A. T. Team prepared to move in. The head of nasa says john glenn led a life of greatness, the First American to orbit the earth died yesterday. Glenn fought in two wars and served four terms in the United States senate. President obama said in tribute, john always had the right stuff. Inspiring generations of scientists, engineers and astronauts. President elect trump called glenn a Great American hero and fellow astronaut buzz aldrin said he was saddened that we lost another space pioneer and world icon. Godspeed, john glen. During his 95 years on earth john glenn blazed many trials. He was not the first man to reach space, but glenns three orbits in 1962 excited americans like none before. I spoke to glenn about that pioneering flight last year. Youre going almost 18,000 miles an hour, thats about almost 5 miles a second, its hard to believe that we go that fast. Glenns space shift nearly burned up during reentry. When he returned safely a ticker tape parade was thrown in his honor in new yorks canyon of heroes. Later president john f. Kennedy secretly ordered glenn grounded, deeming his life too important to risk. It had a lot of attention, would this be a bad symbol for the country or would it be whatever. I never did know, but i knew that i didnt want to just hang around forever waiting. Lift off of discovery with a crew of six astronaut heroes and one american legend. Glenn eventually returned to orbit in 1998. This time as the oldest man in space. At age 77. For a man in his 70s to be able to stand the g forces on launch, its impressive. It was while trainin do greao serve his country. I think i will use him as career. President obama awarded him the president ial medical of freedom in 2012. A decorated marine corps pilot, glenn flew 149 combat missions during world war ii and the korean war where his wing man was hall of fame baseball player ted williams. Glenns distinguished Senate Career spanned 24 years, but his biggest regret he said was an unsuccessful bid for president in 1984. You think that your ideas and all these Different Things on the economy and the military and our leadership in World Affairs and all that your ideas in your own head are the things that should direct the future of this country. Thats pretty heady stuff. Glenn is survived by his wife of 73 years annie, their two children and two grandchildren. He will be buried at Arlington National cemetery. We send our best to annie, she was his lifetime partner and they were such a great couple. What a love story. What a legacy he left for us all. Man of great integrity.

Park apologized to the public for what she called my negligence and lack of virtue. Courts will decide if park should permanently be removed from office. Thats quite an apology, my lack of virtue. The Washington Post says that heroin took more lives in america last year than gun homicides. That is a first. The government reports nearly 13,000 heroin debts in 2015 thats an increase of more than 2,000 from the year before. Opioid deaths topped 30,000 for the first time in recent history. Cbs news reports the high number of isis fighters killed by the u. S. Led coalition in the battle against the extremist group. A senior military official said 50,000 isis militants were killed in the past two years, they were killed in iraq and syria. Isis was able to replace fighters rapidly particularly early on. The Los Angeles Times says National Guard troops are getting help repaying bonuses. We first reported this earlier in the year, the Senate Approved a 619 billion Defense Authorization bill yesterday, it includes an agreement to help an estimated 9700 troops who have been ordered to pay back thousands in enlistment bonuses they should not have received. A pentagon official affects 90 of the debts will be forgiven. The wall street journal says regulators might allow phone calls on airline flights. Oh, no. They suggest letting the airlines decide but the government says that flyers must be warned they could hear fellow passengers talking, often very loudly, a final ruling ask likely to be years away. Theres nothing worse than a onesided conversation. Thats true. A school Police Officer in nevada faces new questions about shooting a knife wielding student. Cellphone video captured the moment at Hug High School in reno. Police say the teen ignored orders to drop a pair of knives and threatened other students. Carter he had mondays is outside the school with the debate over use of force. Good morning. Reporter good morning. On facebook a man identifying himself as the teens father is defending his sons actions saying that he was bullied here at this school and he was really just protecting himself. Now he says after the shooting his son has lost part of a lung, but he is expected to survive. A day after School Police shot a knife wielding 14yearold Washoe County School Superintendent tracy davis praised responding officers. Had it not been for their quick actions and professionalism i truly believe that the outcome could have been much worse. Reporter cellphone video captured the teenager waving knives surrounded by students apparently after a fight. His attorney spoke to cbs this morning by phone. It was clear the child was not being aggressive but rather was trying to keep people away from him. He was not attempt to go hurt people. Reporter for some students and parents the Police Response is causing as much concern as the boys actions. Its pretty traumatizing i have never seen anything like that before, pulling out knives and then a cop shooting a child. There are alternatives. Mace for one. Pepper spray. This man who says his son was friends with the teen was also worried about the dozens of other kids standing nearby. They should be writing formal apologies to every single students parents there for putting all their children in danger. But the superintendent says both the safety and medical response went according to protocol. Both of those plans worked flawlessly. The boys attorney disagrees. The superintendent cannot possibly have a detailed investigation sufficient to make the pronouncement that the activities or actions of those people was, quote, flawless. At a News Conference we tried to find out more about the districts rules on use of force. Can you tell us the policy things about less lethal force and what your policy is. But School Officials and School Police refused to answer any questions. Reporter we contacted the reno police, we contacted the School Police and we contacted the School District again regarding their use of force policy and none of them responded. Now, the boys lawyer told me his family has been barred from visiting him in the hospital as theyre preparing the boy for a psychiatric evaluation. Some important questions being asked. Carter, thank you for that story. Investigators from the World Antidoping Agency are laying out massive evidence of russian doping efforts. Theres a new report released this morning that implicates more than 1,000 russian athletes in 30 sports. Jonathan is in london with the report accusing russias government of a massive conspiracy. Reporter to put the shear scale of this report into perspective its 151 pages long, broken down into seven chapters, covering the london 2012 summer olympics and the sochi winter games in 2014. The World Antidoping Agency or wada saying to date more than 1,000 at least in 30 olympic and paralympic sports benefited from the cover up involving urine swapping. The findings confirmed and expanded on much of the evidence released in an initial report in july which had dramatic repercussions for russia at the rio olympics. The professor who led the report said that the russian team corrupted the london games on what he called an unprecedented scale. The cover up that evolved over the years from uncontrolled chaos to an institutionalized disciplined and medal Winning Strategy and conspiracy. Reporter he also said that conspiracy dates back to at least 2011 and through the russian winter olympics. The 1,000 athletes include four Gold Medalist its, gayle, the names were not given. What a story. That is a story. Thank you very much, jonathan. Flying may be considered the safest way to travel but n emergencies can still happen. Peter greenberg says lets all be prepared.

Apples podcast app. We will be right back. From leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto. A latest generation blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. Theres more to know. Xarelto. Listen, sugar, were lettin you go. Its that splenda naturals gal, isnt it . Coffee look, shes sweet, shes got natural stevia, no bitter aftertaste, and zero calories. All the partners agree . Even iced tea . Especially iced tea. Goodbye, sugar. Hello, new splenda naturals. Goodbye, sugar. Lets just get a sandwich or something. Apples podcast app. Graduatemedical school, or something. And we dont just pull smoked chicken, bake fresh foccacia and handslice avocado. Theres nothing or something about it. Fotheres a seriousy boomers virus out there thats been almost forgotten. Its hepatitis c. One in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most dont even know it. Because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and its not tested for in routine blood work. The cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. If you have hep c, it can be cured. For us its time to get tested. Ask your Healthcare Provider for the simple blood test. Its the only way to know for sure. An Airline Trade group predicts more than 42. 5 Million People will fly during the holidays, thats up 3. 5 from last year. Flying is considered the safest way to travel, but it still has problems. Two southwest jets made emergency landings this week in the United Airline plane skidded to a stop in san antonio when its landing fear collapsed. In october at least two dozen people suffered minor injuries when American Airlines plane burst into flames at ohare airport. Now, some of these passengers filed a lawsuit claiming that American Airlines was negligent in supervising and directing the evacuation. Cbs news travel editor peter green berg is here to show us what passengers need to do in an manual. Peter, good morning. Good morning, gail. For Decades Airlines have tried to capture the public attention about what to do in an emergency safety videos, on board demonstrations, even cute animated cartoons. If theres one message the flight attendants want the public to know in an emergency, leave everything including your cabin bag damage behind. Seconds before takeoff flight 383 came to an abrupt stop. Its right engine engulfed in flames. Every one on the right side of the plane jumped up and jumped on to us because as soon as the explosion happened there was fire. Business traveler sara ferna was inside the smoke filled plane as panic set in. You cant see anything and theres absolute chaos in the cabin. So at that point theres a stampede and everyone is jumping on each other. She is one of 18 passengers involved in a lawsuit against American Airlines and the planes manufacturers. Boeing and general electric. Among the allegations is that American Airlines failed to instruct passengers on proper and safe evacuation procedures. But on this cellphone video the planes overhead bins are seen in the open position, and indication some passengers took their carry i dont know bags with them when they left the plane. I saw two flight attendants at the front of the plane and they yelled at me and said leave your bag. I was the last one off and i ignored them and i jumped down the slide. The incident is the latest on whats becoming an alarming trend during aircraft emergencies. In august passengers were seen heading for the door with their bags as smoke filled annum ritz air boeing 777 in dubai. Photos posted to social media showed the same rule being broken aboard a British Airways jet in las vegas last year. After the 2013 crash landing of a plane in San Francisco. For any aircraft to be certified as air worthy flight crews have to demonstrate they can evacuate a fully loaded plane with half the exits blocked in less than 90 seconds. Can evacuate a fully loaded plane in less than 90 seconds but the question remains who is training the passengers. In this cabin simulator flight attendants are trained how to leave a fully loaded plane. Everyone here knows what to do in an manual, but in reality the situation is far less predictable. Medical emergencies, decompression security, you name it. Pauline harrison is a safety instructor with delta airlines. Our biggest challenge is people do want to take their plug damage off the aircraft. Why would you stop and take a selfie or take a bag. Everybody wants to stake that selfie. That person that does that is going to keep you from getting out of the aircraft. Flight attendants say the problem lies with the safety video as detailed and entertaining as it might be they say passengers either dont listen or worse yet they ignore the video all together. Before the flight only 12 of our passengers had read the safety briefing card and only 24 had paid attention to the safety demonstration. Sullenberger was aboard the flight now known as the miracle on the hudson. He said it may not be until people die during an evacuation that the traveling public pay attention. Lets hope it doesnt take a high body count and a horrific accident where people cannot escape to remind people they must leave their belongings behind. American airlines responded to the lawsuit with a Statement Issued to cbs this morning saying, were proud of our pilots, our flight attendants and other team members who responded quickly to take care of our customers under very challenging circumstances. A final piece of yierny, captain sullenberger told us in his incident the passengers who took the bags on the plane ended up in the bottom of the hudson, the people who left their bags behind they got returned. Leave that behind. Every time. You think i need my purse. Maybe your p urs. No. No. No. That is i wish thinking. Thank you very much, peter. Good advice.

It has been snowing all throughout the night. It is causing issues for roads all over, from here to the middle of the country. 25 degrees and the snow is going sideways this morning. But, man, it is pretty including these frozen over trees. Really going to be the cascades where youll be seeing, you know, two, four feet of snow, possibly five feet of snow. President elect travelled to iowa last night. He vowed to stop extremism, thanked women for their vote and praised himself. All over the world theyre talking about our country. We havent even started yet. Do we expect to see the president of the United States to be tweeting throughout his presidency . He has successfully learned how to create chaos and operate within it. One way to create chaos is through his tweets. The large of the original mercury astronauts died. What a legacy he left. Man of great integrity. American hero, american legend, american icon. President elect trump pictured an executive from the fast Food Restaurant carls jr. And hardees. Im not sure if this the best guy for the job. Maybe hes not that bad. This mornings eye opener at 8 00 is sponsored by im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. Backtoback winter storms are battering much of the country, dangerous and deadly storms yesterday blasted part of the east and midwest. Heavy snowfall in northwestern pennsylvania is blamed for a massive pileup on interstate 90. Police in michigan say at least 40 cars were involved in a cash on i96. The storm to the northern half of the country is moving east and south. Were following an unfolding situation in syria where russian and syrian warplanes resumed bombing. There was a humanitarian pause and Deborah Potter was there as russian families tried to escape the war zone. They came in their thousands and just kept on coming. Well over eight hours. They dont really care where theyre going as long as it is far away from the bombing. The bombing let up in the early hours of this morning, following an announcement by the russians that the Syrian Military would Halt Operations in eastern aleppo. Thats when thousands of civilians trapped inside the rebe held east seized the opportunity to make a run for it. With cbs this morning, Deborah Potter, aleppo. Images are tough to watch. President elect donald trump promises to fight to get higher pay for women. He made the comment while thanking female voters at his victory rally in iowa last night. He did not give specifics yet. Earlier in the day mr. Trump said he will nominate fast foot Restaurant Group ceo Andrew Puzder as secretary of labor. Paul manafort is with us, he replaced Corey Lewandowski and guided the campaign through the political convention. He resigned after taking over. Welcome. Thank you. What role are you playing in this transition . Im not active in the transition but im watching. Are you talking to the president elect is the question . Im watching the transition, not active in it, i dont want to talk about who im speaking to, but im aware of whats going on. Can you tell us with respect to secretary of state Major Garrett is hearing that ray tiller son is getting a very serious look. Mr. Trump will speak to that im not going to talk about the type of people hes talking to. Hes talking to a broad range of people. The important thing, you look at the transition is that mr. Trump is taking a very active role in the transition process, hes not just interviewing the final candidates of some president elects have done, and hes looking at people as their qualifications for government, not just for one position or another. And i think that over the course of the transition, not just the cabinet members, but the sub cabinet members and agency heads as well are people hell speak to because he thinks the president elect should be actively involved in the government. And he said he would be an active president , hell bring change and what youre seeing in the transition process is the kind of leadership hell bring to the presidency and said he would bring. Can we go back to mitt romney, there are reports that the trump team is divided about mitt romney. Some say that, you know, they dont think it is a good choice, others say, yes, where do you fall on that . What advice have you given him . Conversations, what are you saying . I basically the point i think that romney consideration is that donald trump is looking at putting together the Strongest Team for the country. And the Strongest Team that will be part of this administration. People who are republicans, people who are democrats, people who are supported him, people who havent supported him. How do you feel about mitt romney being secretary of state . You have Donald Trumps ear. You still speak on a regular basis. Ill support whatever the president decides hes going to do. Is romney qualified to be secretary of state . Yes, hes qualified to be secretary of state. The key is whether he and President Trump can see eye to eye on the agenda that secretary of state will have to lead over the course of the next four years. If hes qualified, is it a question of loyalty . No, it is a question of who donald trump wants in that position. The fact that they have engaged in starting to build a relationship back to what was a Good Relationship in the past is a positive thing and whether mr. Romney is a part of the government or not i think theyll have a relationship going forward. There is a report this morning in new York Magazine by reporter gabe sherman that describes the scene inside trump towers like game of thronesesque. I heard house of cardsesque, there is concern about betrayal among the troops. Who is in charge, steve bannon or reince priebus. Donald trump. No question donald trump is in charge. Each of the people have their respective roles. Transitions are by definition a work in progress. By the time it gets figured out, the inauguration happens. This is actually been of all of the transitions ive witnessed over the last four years this is actually a very aggressive, positive event. There is always people jockeying for position in a system. It is a campaign, transition or an administration, but what is happening here is youre seeing a process, executing. The biggest difference, i think, from this transition is that the emphasis is on bringing change to the government. Okay, but lets talk about that, who it was that elected donald trump. A lot of people feeling economic pain. And some are raising the question, can all those billionaires have a true understanding of those people who supported and the things that they care about . First of all, donald trump has an understanding of it. He clearly two years ago had understood the American People, he was very consistent throughout his whole campaign, and to the surprise of many, but not to donald trump, the American People responded to the message. His presidency, what you see in the transition process, is focusing on that exact thing, bringing change. The people who said hes going to nominate are all consistent with the philosophy that he talked about in the campaign. President obama said in 2009, yes, election has consequences and i, obama won, well, yes, electionses have consequences. Two questions. What happened to you . You were part of the campaign, the cv guy. And then you were gone. Well, i became a block to his ability to communicate his message. I didnt think it was fair. The allegations were not true. But the reality is i became a block and my goal was to get donald trump elected president of the United States. What does that mean, you became a block in. The media was covering charges which after the election were proven to be false. Youre not currently under investigation . Im not. And the government of ukraine said the ledger was a false fif document and the bureau said they never investigated me, never will, they said. But at the time of the election, in will you lobby for foreign clients during the no. You wont lobby for any foreign clients . I have no intention of going back to that. What are your plans january 20th . To be standing in the cold watching the next president get nominated sworn in. Sworn in. All right. Well keep you posted. Good to see you.

The citys population has plummeted in recent years to fewer than 55,000 people. Daily visitors often outnumber the locals. Seth doane went to venice and learned why some see Economic Opportunity and others see a city losing its soul. He joins us from rome. Good morning. Good morning. At one point it got so bad that problem got so bad that the u. N. s world cultural body threatened to put venice on a list of World Heritage sites in danger if it did not deal with some issues including giant cruise ships. Venice still struggling with the issue. Venice, theres nothing quite like it. Ive never been here before and i think its wonderful. Were going to get on a gondola. Nice. Its narrow canals and quaint alleys draw more than 20 million tourists a year and therein lies the problem. Its too small, its too fragile. As an ecologist jane worries about venices vulnerable lagoon, as a resident shes concerned her city has become a mere backdrop for selfies. Venice has changed in that the population has gone down and down and down, and the visitors numbers have just grown drastically. In 1951 there were nearly 175,000 residents. Today there are fewer than 55,000. A digital screen at a local pharmacy marks the loss. It also marked the starting point for a protest. Residents carried luggage as a symbol they were on the way out. Matteo was one of the organizers. We have to find a way to protect the venetian live in venice because without citizens it is a city without soul. But this activist also works in a local hotel which caters to visitors. Isnt the greatest resource of venice the city itself . That it is such a tourist hub . The mass tourism is a double cut weapon. Because at the beginning you earn a lot of money and everybody are happy, but in the Long Distance its a big trouble. Reporter one of the most visible signs of tourists outside impact comes at peak times almost daily in the form of cruise ships which dwarf this city. I am maintaining the soul of venice. Reporter paolo the president of the Port Authority says the ships are a scapegoat. Everybody thinks there is a big ship coming in from nowhere, the flood of tourists, the tourists come down and are flooding the city. This is not true. Reporter cruises account for fewer than 8 of tourists and costa defended the port as vital for the local economy. Paula has a stunning view from her office but as deputy mayor for tourism sees a real mess to clean up. How hasnt something been done before this . Translator its a question i ask myself daily. She admitted. Frankly we are talking about 25 years of mismanagement but tourism must not become the devil, its the citys most important resource. They are currently evaluating 17 proposals, including increasing taxes on tourists or dating off and selling tickets to busy areas. Paula told us the biggest problem is day trippers who use city resources but dont give back. How many days will you wind up being here in venice . We leave tomorrow. Were only here for a day. 24 hours. Quick in and out. Never been here before. Will you stay for more than a day . No, were heading out in a couple hours. Day trippers make up threequarters of tourists. So they dont stay, they dont sleep in your hotel, they dont go to restaurants and very rarely they go shopping. Francesca is the owner of hotel bauer. She says as more people travel more cities will see the same problems. Today its venice, rome is even larger but its worse in my opinion. Because of its size and geography this is an issue venice is feeling first but one including many cities including in rome will have to find innovative ways to tackle. Tough assignment that seth has. Venice is such a beautiful city. To hear the locals say a city without citizens is a city without soul, thats hard. Yeah. All right.

Im distracted by this song. I like this song. Their bond is so strong, especially with the Series Revival on netflix, how they found comfort in a fictional town. Think of the ways that a Company Party can ruin your reputation. Glamour magazine writer Jennifer Wallace is in our toyota green room with her Office Holiday Party Survival guide. We had our office party last night. I thought one of them. I think we all behaved well. I thought you behave well. We still have jobs this morning. Thats a good sign. That is a good sign. Were still together. Thats a good sign. Right now some of this mornings headlines. The Washington Post reports what can happen when donald trump attacks a private citizen on twitter. In october of last year, an 18yearold College Student told the president elect she doubted he was a friend to women. In a tweet, the next day, mr. Trump called her an arrogant young woman. She says she has excuse me, been threatened and sexually harassed ever since by phone and email and in social media. The president elect has more than 17 million twitter followers. He says he writes and sends many tweets himself. Wall street journal says the American Dream may be fading. Barely half of 30yearolds earn more than their parents did at the same age. Researchers found in 2014 only 51 outearned their parents. 92 did back in 1970. The income decline is generally blamed on the economic slowdown and the widening gap between the rich and everybody else. And the New York Times says congress is moving to stop digital scalpers. They use computer programs to buy up to 60 of the most desirable tickets. Theyre resold at sky high prices. Congress passed a bill this week to outlaw the bots. For seven seasons Gilmore Girls was must watch tv for millions of fans. The show about a small town in the relationships there was just revived by netflix for a much anticipated limited run. Then tracy met four unique and very unlikely fans of the show. Oh thats what im talking about. You may think these guys are watching a football game. Finally. Until you look and listen a little closer. Oh, god, please get emily drunk. I love emily drunk. They are Binge Watching the revival of Gilmore Girls. What can i get you . Coffee please. I have a list. This is like Gilmore Girls perfection. I should acknowledge ive never seen a second of the Gilmore Girls. Go. Get the shotgun, donnie. We got to take care of this guy, man. Why are you here . Why are you here . Give me charlie rose. The only thing more surprising than their utter devotion to the show and its main characters rory and lorelei you have no idea where your underwear is . Youve been without your underwear since you moved. Dont judge. Is how they got hooked on it in the first place. I found season two, it was unopened, in, like, some library in the middle of a base in iraq. Jesse, luke, erik and john met as marines. They were members of a sniper platoon deployed to ramadi, iraq, in 2005. During missions they dodged explosive devices, back on base, they watched Gilmore Girls. At least for me, stars hollow was the america we all thought we all wished we were fighting for. Stars hollow is the fictional and idyllic town of the center of the show. It came to mean so much to them i have to tell you, my guys and i love your show. Luke wrote a letter to the shows creators, Amy Sherman Paladino and her husband daniel. Part of the attraction is the simple case of contrast, i live in a strict macho sometimes violent world. Very often does not make sense. Stars hollow, the small town where Gilmore Girls takes place, is pretty, warm, friendly and there is the simple human stories, relationships between parents and children, brothers and sisters, loves lost and found, and friends who are always there. In the end, much of the entertainment is escapism and for me and a few friends over here in iraq, there is no place we would rather escape to. It reminds us of all the best parts of home. There is something about that line in the context of this letter that just rings incredibly true. Amy has kept lukes letter for more than a decade. I have actually kept the letter in my various desks over the years always. So its been very close to me. We always mention these guys, we never have forgotten these guys. The guys never forgot that the paladinos tracked down their sniper unit and sent a care package to iraq. And we opened these boxes up and they were all full of these jackets. She did assure us there were other men wearing the jackets. Masculine piece of clothing. Everything we have been working towards all these years, fellows, right here. This past week they flew from all over the country to watch the gilmore revival together. The jackets also made a comeback. Somebody wants to talk to you. We figured it was the right time for another reunion, with the paladinos on the other end of the screen. I see men. We know who you are. We did not expect this at all. This was the furthest thing from my mind. Pretty awesome. Very cool. Thank you. You still have the jackets . Right here. Theyre wearing them. Are you okay with the shows . If youre unhappy, ill redo them. No, we love them. But if you wanted to redo them, we would watch them. And thats because this isnt really about watching a tv show. It is about spending time. While we are going to watch the Gilmore Girls and thats a huge part of it and were very excited for this revival, the reality was we just need to get together. We need excuses to get together, we need excuses to remember. To remember where they have been and the bond theyll always share. For cbs this morning, ben tracy, washington. Whoo greatest story. I love it. That may be my favorite story we have done on the show. I at the. Diversity bonding. And i love the tough guys cry. I also love that i just assumed they had they found the show because of their wives and their girlfriends. I love the way they even found the story. Yeah. We should thank our producer whose cousin is actually luke who was in the piece. I was wondering where we got it. Found this great story. We get stories from all over. We do. I like it. Thank you, sarah. Beautifully done. Beautifully done. Thank you, sarah, is right. Coming up, Office Holiday parties, open bars can leave you open to trouble. If i cant throw a good party for my employees, then im a terrible boss. Who wants to drink . Me. Here we go. Glamour magazines Jennifer Wallace is in our toyota green room a list of party pitfalls to avoid. He just happens to be my just happens to be my boss. And for reasons i suspect he does not sympathize about me. tis the season for celebrations at work like that disastrous one from Bridget Jones diary. 77 of companies are planning a holiday party. Jennifer wallace, her new article out today called your Office Holiday Party Survival guide. It says the fastest way to derail your career and ruin your reputation is to treat the event like a frat party. Jennifer wallace, good morning. Good morning. So do people dread going to their holiday parties . I think there is one survey that said 50 of us dread it. I think there are two reasons. One is that, you know, we dont like to blur the lines between social and work. We understand the boundaries when were at the office, we understand the boundaries at a party. This is an awkward way of bringing the two together. I also think that some of us dread mingling with strangers because it is a little pit risk taking. You can be shunned you can be snubbed. And you say mingling is important. Why . It is important. It shows youre part of the team, that you really support the company culture, that youre a team player, but it is also another recent survey showed up to 85 of jobs are found through networking. So networking at an office party is pretty easy in that you all have something in common, you all work at the same place, you have something to start a conversation. I have a friend who says about christmas parties, i know my boss likes me, i dont want to risk ruining that. Yes, it is very hard to earn points at a Christmas Party and it is really easy to lose them. You say it is important to engage with the boss. You said start with a complement. Were looking at les moonves or ryan saying i love your shoes, i love your tie, that doesnt sound like brown nosing . I think you have to be sincere and find something you want to compliment them on if theyre wearing a necklace, youre wearing youre wearing that in the spirit of the thing. It is a good conversation starter. It is a great way to start a conversation with people, people come up to you. It is an easy way to start. She says conversations should last five to ten minutes. Yeah. Just enough to get to know somebody. You have to read the social queues. How do you get out of how do you say i got to go . I think it is nice to ease your way out. You can say, one more thing before i let you go, or before i let you go. Right. Or wheres the bar . Wheres the bar . To you know where the ladies room is and then actually go there. I said last night, i need to go see les moonves and say hello. That was my out. You say it is so funny, there is a line in your article when you said that many people try to avoid their colleagues that they hide out in bathroom stalls. Yes. Have you done that, charlie . I cant imagine anybody really doing that, hiding out in the bathroom stall. Or faking a phone call. At a holiday party, you cant hide. Youre there for everyone to see. You need to learn how to make that small talk and have those light conversations. And it is also important to go to the holiday party, isnt it . Do you think it is noticed if you show up 100 noticed. And i would say show up early. If you want to network, want to make an impact, show up early. What about you make an important piece of advice there, eat before the party. Yes, oh, my gosh, all roads what about the idea that people couple it at holiday parties and go away together in. There is a statistic, one survey showed 75 of people hooked up as a result of a holiday party. And the fastest with aay to der career. One survey. Why . Everyone is in the season of giving. Why not . Got a lot to give. Coming up, well look at all that matters this week. Youre watching cbs this morning. Morning. ,,,,, hi, its me. [imitates fanfare] lois prices from Grocery Outlet. Hi, its.
