Encounters between sharks and people in the state. But we begin this morning with a look at todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. When asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape or form, he said no period. So obviously that turns out not to be accurate. Jeff sessions failed to disclose contacts with the Russian Ambassador. Democrats are intensifying their calls for sessions to recuse himself from any investigation or even to step down. If there is something there and it goes up the chain of investigation, it is clear to me that Jeff Sessions who is my dear friend, cannot make this decision about trump. Historic day on wall street. The dow broke another record. Make it rain, dow, 21,000. The president of the academy announced the two accountants responsible for the mixup will never work on the oscars again. It happened so suddenly. You could hear it. Parts of the midwest and the south are cleaning up after a spate of tornadoes. A wild scene through the streets of california. A suspect leading police on an hours long chase. Hes not going anywhere. A great white shark caught off the Huntington Beach pier part of an investigation. 8yearold noah young becoming an internet sensation for his moves on the ice. He hits it. A play that goes down in northwestern history. And all that matters. Have you ever thought you could actually run for president and actually be elected. I thought, oh, gee, i dont have the experience, i dont know enough. And now im thinking, oh. On cbs this morning. Think about how easy it would be for her to win over the audience at the debates. Shed be like, thats a very good point, President Trump. But on the other hand if you look under your seats, you get a free car, you get a free car, you get a free car. This mornings you opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. More proof that Everybody Loves oprah. And people love cars, too. Very much. People love cars, too. Especially free ones. Especially free cars. Good morning. Charlie rose is off and recovering. Anthony mason is here with us. Hello again. Great to have you. Attorney general Jeff Sessions is under new pressure to withdraw from an investigation into russian interference with the 2016 election. The Justice Department confirms that sessions spoke with russias u. S. Ambassador twice last year while he was a u. S. Senator and an adviser to the Trump Campaign. Sessions did not reveal those conversations at his confirmation hearing even though he was asked about them. And now some Congressional Democrats are calling for the attorney general to resign. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said this Jeff Sessions lied under oath and is not fit to serve. Jeff pegues is covered the story from the beginning. Good morning. Good morning. As the nations top Law Enforcement officer, Jeff Sessions is in charge of the fbis investigation into whether trump representatives coordinated with the russians during the campaign. These new revelations are turning up the heat on him to at least step aside. Well, i have not met with any russians at any time to discuss any political campaign, and those remarks are unbelievable to me and are false, and i dont have any else to say about that. Reporter attorney general jeff session whose was a trump representative during the campaign has repeatedly resisted calls to recuse himself from the investigation into russian meddling in the election. The truth, the whole truth reporter under oath during his confirmation hearings, sessions did not disclose that he met with the Russian Ambassador twice. If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do . Senator franken, im not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and i did not have communications with the russians, and im unable to comment on it. But in september, sessions met in his office with Russian AmbassadorSergei Kislyak just as federal investigators were planning to blame russia for campaign cyberattacks. In july sessions saw kislyak at an event during the Republican National convention. A spokesperson at the department of justice noticed as a member of the Armed ServicesCommittee Last year, the senator had over 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors. It is not uncommon for members of that Senate Committee to meet with ambassadors. The democrats say sessions failure to come clean during his confirmation is disqualifying. It sounds like he did not tell the truth. And a lie is a lie is a lie, period. And so some kind of way weve got to come to grips with that. Reporter former National Security adviser mike flynn was fired last month after he misled the Vice President about his contacts with the Russian Ambassador. A white house official says calls for sessions to recuse himself are just a partisan attack from democrats. Jeff pegues, thanks. The Trump Administration strongly denies any Campaign Connections with russia, but there are new signs its preparing for a political fight on the issue. Margaret brennan is at the white house with new information. Margaret, good morning. Reporter good morning. White house lawyers told President Trumps aides this week to preserve emails and other materials relevant to on going probes into russian contacts with trump associates. A Senior Administration official down played the significance of the order telling me that the white house is simply taking proactive steps and called the accusations, quote, false and politically motivated attacks. These instructions come as the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Also asked all u. S. Agencies to keep all materials between trump aides and russian officials. President trump has said he has no knowledge of contacts between russia and his team. But cbs news has confirmed that fbi counterintelligence is investigating. All right, margaret, thank you so much. Republicans in congress are still working on their plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. In a speech tuesday President Trump spelled out a series of tax credit to help americans buy insurance. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the president s comments are causing a feud inside the gop. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Republican leaders have begun trying to sell this plan to their gop members which is a challenging task because theyre still missing key figures and details. Theyre hashing all this out behind closed doors as they try to tramp down a rebellion from their own right flank. Senators who were briefed on the new Health Care Plan last night were instructed not to say much about whats in it. The details will matter. Its in many ways a promising start. Reporter here is what we do know. A draft of the plan replaces obamacares low income tax credits and subsidies with more modest tax credits that go to everywhere. An analysis from the Kaiser Family foundation found that a 40yearold making 20,000 a year would see his tax credit drop from an average of 4100 under obamacare to 3,000 under the gop plan. Lower income people and people older would get less help whereas younger people and wealthier people would be better off. Reporter like obamacare, the republican plan would make those tax credits refundable meaning low income americans get the money even if they pay little or no taxes. Some on the right say thats a handout and theyre threatening to vote no. I think its going to prove to be a bridge too far for a lot of people. Reporter in those closed door meetings gop leaders are arguing that any other approach would result in millions of people losing the ability to afford insurance, and republicans getting the blame. Its not going to be perfect, but this is our one chance to keep our promise to our supporters to whom we made the promise that wed repeal and replace obamacare. Reporter another big Sticking Point is what to do about obamacares huge expansion of medicaid which now covers 11 million more people than it did before. Some republicans say that is a vital safety net that needs to be retained. Others say its too expensive and needs to be scaled back. Norah, if they cant find consensus on this, the entire bill could be in trouble. Very important point nancy. Thank you so much. Dan senior was a Senior Adviser to the Romney Campaign in 2012. He joins us from washington. Good morning, dan. Good morning, norah. A spokesperson for the department of justice says sessions last year had conversations with 25 different foreign ambassadors in his job as a senator on the Armed Services committee. Why does this conversation with the Russian Ambassador matter . Well, it matters because there continues to be this web of questions about connections, conversations, potential coordination as it is alleged between the Trump Campaign and the russian government. Youre right. Any u. S. Senator i worked for a u. S. Senator who didnt serve on the Armed Services committee and didnt serve on the Foreign Relations committee and in any year he was meeting with tens of ambassadors. These are typical pro forma meetings, not a lot of substance discussed. Just kind of box checking. I think that the Trump Administration has to get to the bottom of how theyre going to explain all this communication between the Trump Campaign and the russian government during the course of the campaign. I do not think its as big a deal as others do. But as it relates to attorney general sessions, to lie to congress, you have to willfully know that you are actually misleading congress, and the material youre discussing has to be material, has to be extremely relevant to the focus of any kind of investigation. In this case i actually think then senator sessions had no idea that meeting with one ambassador over another was materially significant. It appears that he just theres no way for him to have known this was in the context, his meeting was in the context of questions swirling about around any kind of investigation about the campaigns connections to the government. Dan, theres pressure even in some cases coming from the right on this. Richard painter, the former white house ethics lawyer for bush said misleading the senate and sworn testimony is a good way to go to jail. How does the Trump Administration respond to this situation with sessions at this point . I think youve got to break this into packages into two different tracks. One track is should he resign . Based on what i know so far, it looks ludicrous he should resign. I think democrats calling for resignation is overreaching. The other question which i think is going to become the focus of a serious debate is whether or not he should recuse himself from anything related to an investigation about russia. He may be under pressure from that. I think some republicans whats the threshold for that, dan . Its quite ambiguous. It really is. Its whether or not they believe they can raise serious doubts about his ability to oversee an investigative body that will be dealing with these allegations by the campaigns ties to russia. Let me make one other quick point here. One of the challenges here is theres complete opacity about who all these representatives were from the russian government apparently operating on behalf of putin or associates of putin. You all covered the Trump Campaign. Theres confusion over who the representatives were of the Trump Campaign. Who was actually speaking to whom is something we dont know yet. Dan senor, thanks so much. In our next half hour well talk to anthony fox about President Trumps trillion dollar infrastructure program, part of our series issues that matter.

The violent weather is blamed for at least five deaths. At least 27 tornadoes were reported from the south to the midwest. More than 100 homes have been destroyed.

Strong winds blew the roof off this car dealership in North Carolina and toppled trees in tennessee crushing this mobile home and injuring a young boy inside. Parts of the midwest are still cleaning up after the storm system roared throughhe area tuesday night. More than 100 homes in perryville, missouri, were damaged with many destroyed.

The vatican faces new fallout this morning over the clergy sex abuse scandal. A Founding Member of a Commission Set up three years ago to protect minors from abuse in the Catholic Church has now quit. She accuses the vatican of stonewalling. Seth doane is in rome outside vatican city with how the controversy is putting a harsh light on church insiders. Reporter this is a very public blow to the vatican. At the core, a woman who was a victim of Church Sex Abuse who says theres a cultural resistance to change at the vatic vatican. It was better for me to come out and speak about it. These men, they thrive on silence and coverup. Reporter mary collins who was sexually abused by a priest as a teenager tired of what she called constant setbacks in her work on a panel set up by pope francis to protect minors from sex abuse. We spoke with her this morning at her home in dublin, ireland. To find theres still a group of men in this level in the church who do not see Child Protection as a priority, that do not get it in 2017 is just unacceptable. Reporter in her resignation letter, collins wrote she believes the pope is sincere in is efforts, but the resistance by some members of the vat ka curia has been shameful. Sometimes i think the pope does make mistakes, hes badly advised. Youre dependent in that position on advice from those around you. Reporter monsignor anthony fig raid dough is a cbs consulant. Theyll hear the Catholic Church is still not serious about dealing with this issue of sex abuse. Very, very serious. Perhaps more than any other organization in the world, the Catholic Church has taken this on board. Reporter boston Cardinal Sean omalley who heads the Commission Said in a statement, we will certainly listen carefully to all that mary wishes to share with us about her concerns. The only other sex abuse victim on the panel, Peter Saunders was critical of it and forced out last year. Recently the pope has been criticized for being too lenient on at least one pedophile priest. Instead of defrocking him, he was removed from Public Ministry and, norah, sentenced to a lifetime of prayer. Questions remain. Seth doane in roam, thank you.

Cell phone video captured the moment a group of fishermen landed their big catch, reeling in what appears to be a juvenile great white shark. The crowd cheers as the group yanks the fish objective the pier. California fish and wildlife officials now are trying to determine whether the act was criminal. Great whites are protected under state and federal laws and fishermen who catch one are required to release it immediately or face fines of up to 10,000. When we see video like that, thats kind of disturbing. Reporter chris lowe is a shark researchers at california state long beach.

Things with big jaws and big teeth would be able to bite through most fishermens lines but theyre not going to be able to cut through that. Reporter theyre seeing a jump in shark sightings over the past few years. Just leak that fishermen dragged a great white shark back into the ocean after unknowingly captured it.

Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.

Good morning, everybody. Our live weather camera this time around, were looking out from the Transamerica Pyramid and we are looking to the south as if we are looking towards the peninsula. Blue skies, wow, what a terrific gorgeous morning. A bit on the cold side, 39 redwood city. Now 41 in santa rosa after dipping down this morning into the mid30s. Temperaturewise we were at 33 in livermore. Today 63 there. Rain saturday and sunday. ,,,, good morning to the viewers in the west, its thursday, march 2, 2017. Welcome back. Theres more real news ahead udha matter series. This morning, its americas infrastructure. Former transportation secretary anthony fox is here with his ideas to repair a system in crisis, but, first, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. These new revelations are turning up the heat on the nations top Law Enforcement to at least step aside. Why does this conversation with the Russian Ambassador matter . I do not think its as big a deal as others do. I think then senator sessions had no idea meeting with one ambassador or another was materially significant. The Intelligence Committee asked agencies to keep all materials regarding contact between trump aids and russian officials. They are beginning to sell the plan as they try to tamp down rebellion from their own right flank. President trumps softer tone came from the heart, but some of the proposals were shaped by his advisers like daughter ivanka and soninlaw. It really seemed like a different donald trump giving an address to congress. Its getting good reviews. The Washington Post called it surprisingly president ial. Its an article that the president behaved like a president extra, extra president goes whole 60 minutes without trashing anyone world in shock im gayle king. Charlies off, but i have news to report, he was honored last night. I was there. The buzz in the room was, look how good he looks. Charlie, youre up and about, and he goes, well, yes, where else would i be . Everybodys glad to see him, looks fantastic. Heres talking about coming back soon. We like that. Attorney general Jeff Sessions says allegations he hid from ambassador is false, and the trump adviser was asked how hed handle an investigation between the russian government and campaign officials. If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do . Senator franken, im not aware of any of those activities. Ive been called a surrogate a time or two in that campaign, and i did not have communications with the russians, and im unable to comment on it. Sessions did not mention he spoke to russias u. S. Ambassador twice last year. The Justice Department said that meeting was routine for the Senate Armed Committee members. He met with 25 ambassadors in 2016. Several Top Democrats want sessions to resign or rescue himself from the fbi investigation of russias campaign meddling. Some republicans are joining the call, and sessions responded this morning. I have not met with any russians at any time to discuss any political campaign, and those remarks are unbelievable to me, and are false. I dont have anything else to say about that. I said whenever its appropriate, ill rescue myself, no doubt about that. White house official said partisan democrats are driving the allegations. We continue issues that matter series this morning with a closer look at a critical topic President Trump highlighted during his address to congress. Americas crumbling infrastructure. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives the countrys infrastructure a dplus grade in its most recent report card. I got one or two of those. Mom doesnt like those. Nope. Bridges, roads, and Public Transportation systems received no better than a cplus. President trump had a plan to improve those grades. Launch our national rebuilding, ill be asking congress to approve legislation that produces a 1 trillion investment in infrastructure of the United States, financed through both public and private capital, creating millions of new jobs. Anthony was the secretary of transportation under president obama, and before that, mayor of charlotte, North Carolina, improved the Transportation System and airports. Secretary foxx, good morning. Welcome to the table. The grade in 2013 was a dplus, and before that, a d in 2009. Its gone up a little bit. Anthonys mom points out, a dplus is never good. How do we get to that point . Whats happening in this country . Think about buying a house. You pay the mortgage on the house, we basically didnt put in enough money to cover the maintenance of the house. The roof starts leaking. Over time, its getting worse and worse. Thats what happened. The gas tax revenues used to build the highway system started to decline, and theres not enough money to cover all the backlog. Why didnt we put in the money to prepare the house . We build other things and not fix existing things. The last time the gas tax was increased was in the 1990s, increase of 18. 4 cents. Thats no longer worth what it was worth back in the early 1990s, and, again, thats part of the problem. Drivers dont like seeing gas tax increase. The president called for a trillion dollars. Is that enough . Will that do the job . I listened closely to the president s words, and, by the way, i think it is a good thing for the president of the United States to say this is a problem that needs to be addressed. Uhhuh. I also do think, however, that when you read the fine print, what hes talking about is basically a set of tax credits that generate about 137 billion in tax credits that he believes will produce a trillion dollars of investment. I happen to think its probably the case that some projects will get done under that kind of thing, but probably not all the projects generating the teeth grinding traffic in the country. Where should those infrastructure dollars be spent first . Is it roads . Bridges . Highways . I think the money needs to be spent on where the clogs are the greatest, where the traffic and congestion is the most. We have to be more data driven in how we do that. A lot of times we spread money in transportation like Peanut Butter across the country, but the reality is if we declog the system and people actually see improvement, it generates more Political Support for greater investments down the road. Dont spread evenly, go directly to certain places where its most needed. Go where the problems are. Start to build around them. President trump also i keep thinking about we get to talk to so many smart important people in government like yourself, and, you know, one of the things, it takes a crisis in order to propel the government to act. When is there going is it going to have to take a bridge collapsing before congress decides to move forward on this . Well, you know, the unfortunate thing is we have had bridge collapses. In minneapolis. In connecticut years ago. In connecticut. Weve had the crisis. Congress did pass a fiveyear surface transportation bill back in 2015. It continues, the historic under investment of frinfrastructure, but it takes leadership from the white house. Congress is behind him, hopefully, to get it done. You mentioned the Publicprivate Partnership aspect of this, real contention to me in congress here. Whats the difference between a publicly funded bill and one that has private tax credits . We are talking the difference between a funded project in a traditional sense or project that spends off capital that can be used to pay back the private sector money. The public, by the way, i think has a lot to say about this. When you talk about it at the federal level, you have to remember the federal government doesnt really build projects. The federal Government Funds projects at the state and local level. Right. You have governors and mayors on the front lines getting Political Support for private financing. President trump said his plan would create millions of jobs, and people say, it creates jobs, but they are not sustainable. It would only be short term. What do you think of that . Is that the case . Well, look, i think when you make an infrastructure investment, if its right, it generates immediate jobs in the construction, but it also provides a catalyst for additional jobs if its a plant thats coming in or what have you, so a lot of those decisions are made at the local and state level, and you need Smart Investments in transportation in order to get those second and thirds order benefits. I think it makes sense. Theres bipartisan support for reinvesting in our infrastructure, right . Absolutely. Just how to pay for it. Nobody wants collapsing bridges on either side. Secretary foxx, thank you. Good seeing you. President trumps two predecessors make headlines. George w. Bush yesterday warned what can happen when the u. S. Fails to take the lead on Big International issues. Vacuums can be created when u. S. Presence recedes, and that vacuum is generally filled with people who dont share the same ideology or the same sense of human rights and Human Dignity and freedom that we do, and, you know, theres an isolationist tendency in this country, and i argue thats dangerous to our National Security and doesnt befit the character of the country. The former president also said that the country has will be through divisive times before and is optimistic about the future. Barack obama may be done resting after eight years in office according to politico. The former president is, quote, ready to roll on a Democratic Party effort to improve its chances in local and state races. Holder is leading that movement and said mr. Obama, quote, will be a more visible part of the effort. The other day, there was a video of him leaving starbucks, cheers and applause.

Com the federal Communications Committee is delaying the new privacy rules. They would have limited how internet providers use and sell customer data. The rules would also have given consumers the right to stop those companies from sharing personal information with advertisers and other third parties we reached out to verizon, and time warner. They did not reach out for comment. Good morning. Good morning. First of all, what type of data are we talking about here . What do they have . They have everything. At t, verizon, comcast, they know what sites youre on. Because youre connecting with your cell phone, they know exactly where you are. They know what room im in. They know everything i browse in the green room. They know everything i browse with on the internet. What the fcc has done in previous regulations say if the broad band companies are going to sell information, theyre going to sell health information, information about your kids, they need to ask you. That was going to go into effect today. That was strong privacy protection. The new fcc says, nah. Why, nick, why . Well, their argument would be we need consistent privacy regulations across the network. We should not regulate at t, verizon, and comcast differently from google and facebook. And they can sell your information. They can. They have weak privacy regulations governed by the ftc. They have to have strong regulations gorged by the fcc. Some may say why dont we have strong regulations everywhere instead of getting rid of the one place theyre wrong, the other reason is the fc has worked very closely with the telecom companies. They have seen it not as the people but the broadband company. It appears as though that may be the problem with the new fcc. Do you think people realize how invasive the information do you think they know how invasive the companies are in getting our information and why should we care about the information that they get . Thats interesting. I think people have no idea the depth of the information these companies have. They have everything and our whole lives are online. If something feels wrong in our bodies, we type it in to google. The companies have that. The second part of the question, are bad things going toap if they have it . Well, weve had weak privacy regulations for a long time and the sky hasnt fallen. Nothing terribly invasive has been done to me. There is an argument made that its more or less okay. Why do they want the information . They want to sell it. If they know ive been looking for headaches and they know ive just bought a plane ticket or bus tikts to providence, theyr ive been searching for jumpsuits lately and now i get things. They come to you. They just show up. Should i be concerned about this . I think you should be concerned. I thought we finally made a good step to protect peoples privacy. I think fundamentally, the information what you type and to online is your information and if a Company Wants to sell it, they should ask you for it and they should pay you for it. Yes. That is what would have happened had these regulations gone into effect. The Broadband Companies would say, well give you a few extra dollars if you let us sell your privacy information and you could have agreed or not agreed. Now weve gotten rid of one of the best steps. Heres the statement. The fcc handles internet. They say we believe the best way to protect is through a comprehensive and consistent framework. Sure. Yes, i would like a comprehensive and consistent strong framework. Were heading toward a comprehensive and consistent weak framework. Always nice to have you here.

He now has the highest rated report in the world. It brought in nearly 4. 5 billion with a b in net revenue last year. Now wynn has taken on a new role as the republican chair of the finance committee. Mr. Wynn joins us at the table. I thought we were going to explore our sexuality. Are you confused, mr. Wynn . Im prepared. Congratulationsle. When people think about you, they think of you and success and think of you and mr. Trump. Back in the day he call you a scumbag and you said hes all hat and no cattle. Did you decide to to put that all aside . That was a long time ago back when dogs could talk and both of us are too old to have enemies. How did you come together . I watched donald trump risk everything in his personal life to go on this journey, and the most incredible, incredible chain of events that led to us having unified government and a president with the courage, with the courage, the unshakeable courage to do the right thing by i think most of us privately democratic republicans needed to fix things in america very badly. Look, the only chance for anybodys life to be improved is the demand for labor. You did not support him in the primaries. What i did, what i did candidly. When the debate concerned china and things like that and was rather unfocused in general, im in business in china, i have Great Respect for the government there. And i have 20,000 employees or more there. And i wanted to stay out of the line of fire until a discussion about the peoples republic of china was more focused. And basically as a businessman i didnt want to i didnt want to get confused in my in my Public Opinion when donald was campaigning. And theres quite a bit of difference between, as you can see, the president has taken a rather clear view about one china. Being the candidate and now being president. Yes. And during those days, you can imagine if youre a businessman, youd tend to tray and protect your employees whether it was in china or the United States. So you are such a successful casino magnet, and now youre going to be finance chairman. What have you learned about are rnc finances . I tell you what i wish. I wish they never called me a nag net. Why . I dont know. Something about it. Id like to be known as a guy who designs a building and is close to his employee. The rating, incidentally, wasnt about money. It was about quality and service. But enough about the company. Look. There are a lot of us that believe it was sort of the dark winter for the past eight years in terms of the private sector and job creation. And the truth. A lot of people who want to have the courage and have the gumption to get out and try and improve their own lives, and when people get out and try to start a business or improve their own lives, they take their neighbors with them. Well, once again, its springtime in america and things are going to grow. This country has always been an ocean of opportunity. Now i think we can get people to believe, come on in, the waters fine. Why are you so convinced of that growth . What do you see . Because i know what stops it, and i know what was going on for eight years. And when i say i know what was going on for eight years, im unequivocal. Im on cbs morning news, and i want you to know without a doubt is this relamted to regulation . Absolutely. Hundreds a week. If we had the time in these quick segments to review some of the ridiculous foolishness that was done from washington agencies always had a chance to everybody wants to show they did a good job regulating a jd they need more people so they can get promoted. If the judiciary automatically stamps whatever the executive branch and the agency weve got 465 agencies, 2,650,000 employees, if the courts just stamped the agencies, weve only got two branchs of government, the executive and the legislature. You need the courts and you need to get rid of these regulations so that people have the confidence to go and try. Listen. Its all about attitude. If you think you can, you will. If you think you cant, you wont. In either case, youre probably right. You think it cycles business. And this administration has turned the attitude of america into a cando attitude. That is the most significant thing. Im 75 years old now. I didnt think this was possible. Are you surprised, steve, that donald trump is in the white house as someone who knows him . Listen. Ive watched this campaign as you did, gayle, and who the hell knew what was going to happen next. It was a stunning and confusing at times campaign. What we have now, and i think its clear, the trump i know and the trump you know privately is the guy who was on television in front of congress the other night. Whos the other guy. Who was the other guy . Somebody who was in a battle in probably the most ruthless environmental of all, the campaign. You even been on the receiving end of that. When he did that, what did you think . It was business. It was business. It was business, sure. And then you go to dinner. You know, really and truly, we mustnt pay all that much attention to certain things. Lets talk about what we do. Now hes president , steve. Thats right. And so lets take a look at the decisions. Rex tillerson . Oh, boy. Ran over 100,000 employees in 100 countries. Theres an old thing about how did jesus walk on water . He knew where the rocks were. Rex tillerson knows where the rocks are. Jim mattis ran the marine corps, a great maeritocracy where you can get fire and get promoted. Heres a great intellectual. One of my Board Directors was chief of naval operations, jeh johnson. Jeh knows james mattis. He said, steve, james is one of the most respectable intellectuals, greatest soldiers ive ever met. Boy, is trump lucky to have him. Are you worried about people taking your phone calls . You think my friends wont take my calls . You know, gayle, you might be right about that. Raising money isnt so much the core of what im doing as reminding everybody, young people and old people, that this is a chance to preserve and protect the things in america that have made America Great in the first place. Weve been in a little bit of a rut, an emotional rut, and we need to break out and know that everything is in reach again. And i think its going to happen. Weve been worrying about robots and losing jobs. What we for get so often is the innate drive of American People to make a better life for themselves is almost unstoppable. Look. I have lousy eyesight as you guys know, but im never afraid to grab someones hand and tell them to take me where i want to go. And you know something . When we get there, Everybody Loves being along for the trip. Thats a sort of a metaphor for everybody that wants to make a better life for themselves. What is the role of government anyway, norah . Thank you, steve. Were out of time because we just have two short hours on this program, but thank you so much. Life in a short six. Were so glad youre here. Thank you so much. Youre welcome. Great to have you here. A scientific breakthrough could help shriveled produce out of your refrigerator. These two bunches of grapes are the same age. These you can toss out. These you can still eat. Were going to introduce you to a new product that can keep you,,,,,,,,,,, food, were exploring the way food is produced, sourced, and distributed. Today we look at how brown bananas at breakfast could be a thing of the past. A Southern California startup called apeal says its products can extend the lifes of fruits and vegetables for up to five times. Scientists show us how it works. Ben tracy shows us how its being touted as the biggest revelation since refrigeration. Reporter its not just the views that grab your attention but the rare produce on the trees including these aptly named caviar limes. Once you pick it, theres a timer going off. Reporter caviar limes are prized by restaurants and bars. The shipping and distribution is difficult. Thats where appeeel sciences teemed up with them. We use food to preserve food. That simple. That simple. Reporter they start with frozen grapeskins. They extract certain food molecules and mix them up. The powder called edipeal. When it dries it leaves thin barrier on the produce. It slows down the rate that water gets out of the produce. By doing that we can naturally preserve the shelf life. How much longer does the average piece of fruit last with your product on it . Each kind of produce has different characteristics. We think it extends it from anywhere from twice as life to five times the life of a piece of produce. Youre basically monitoring how this lemon is dying over time . Exactly. Reporter by day fever the untreated strawberries on top rot but the treated ones on the bottom are still good to eat. Its fda approved and the thin layer left behind is edible and tasteless. It would replace the wax thats often used on produce. Youre going to have people saying this is franken food. I dont want something sprayed on my food because this is pesticide. How to you get over that hurdlesome. The way we to it is be open with people. Were taking stuff youre eating already inner bite of your produce and were just reapplying exactly where it is on the produce, were putting it on the outside. Reporter the Company Hopes their product will help with Global Hunger in places without access to refrigeration. It could also reduce food waste. Here in the u. S. , 24 of produce is tossed out before it reaches the grocery store. Another 28 is thrown out at home. But food waste experts say no one technology is going to solve a problem this big. Fundamentally this product is driven by habits around food so we cant technology our way out of that. I think it needs to be paired with really careful shopping. Appeal has raised 40 million from investors. Right now they work with seshl growers and are in talks with produce brands. It remains to be seen whether the cost would be passed along to consumers. Apeel is buying him valuable time. Im super happy to see the results. Reporter for cbs this morning, ben tracy, santa barbara, california. I think thats a good idea. I wonder if they can keep that banana from going brown thats sitting inside my purse. Once it goes brown, it doesnt look good. Thanks for sharing these details. Have you guys tried the cash yar lime . No. This is a real gamechanger. It will be. Absolutely. More ahead. Youre watching cbs this morning. Well be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,, its been good show.
