Transcripts For KPIX CBS This Morning 20170516

In your reporting it says he went off script. This has been a chronic problem, so i think that theres a real concern about the lack of discipline here. President trump reportedly reveals classified secrets to the russians. The story as reported is false. I was in the room. It didnt happen. If the president revealed the actual threat, please tell us and dont play us for idiots. No white house can sustain these types of constant leaks. So if youre in the white house and youre doing this, well, then you might want to get out of the way. I answered the question over and over again the same way. Another story regarding the Trump Administration has been whether the president is recording private conversations at the white house. The president has made it clear. You cant see nothing. A deadly Small Plane Crash in new jersey. Like a missile just came down and its just shocking. Something terrible went wrong. The sight lines were good but all of a sudden this plane went down. The heaviest satellite ever carried by a spacex rocket zooms into orbit. How cool. What a beautiful launch. All that. Normally kids in bounce houses can barely contain their joy but this little guy has more grown up things to think about. Morrison is after it. He caught the ball and somebodys head. He got everything. Clean sweep. And all that matters. The yankees number 2 never will be worn again but you cant blame derek jeters nephew for trying. When you play for the yankees can you wear my number two . Nope. On cbs this morning. This weekend we had the mother of all cyber attacks, the biggest cyber attack in history. In some cases extreme cases, people were forced to have actual facetoface conversations. I feel like the joke is on the hackers here p. They thought they were going to make billions and they didnt, and its because most people use their computers at work. If you hack me at work and now i couldnt work, i would be like, yeah. This mornings opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. On the 117th day of the donald trump presidency, a stunning report claims the president may have revealed highly classified information to russia. The Washington Post broke the story. Its sources allege the president revealed intelligence about isis developing bombs in Laptop Computers. The details are reportedly so secret, that even close American Allies did not know about them. The president reportedly revealed the classified information during last weeks Oval Office Meeting with russias foreign minister and its u. S. Ambassador. Mr. Trump tweeted this morning that he wanted to share with russia facts pertaining to terrorism and Airline Flight safety and noted i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. Jeff pegues is outside the west wing of the white house where there was a flurry of activity after the story broke. Good morning. Good morning. Despite white house denials, sources tell cbs news that something inappropriate was discussed and it was so serious, reportedly, that white house officials rushed to warn the cia and the nsa to contain the damage. The story that came out tonight as reported is false. Reporter in a carefully worded response, National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster defended the president s conversations with Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the may 10th Oval Office Meeting. At no time, at no time, were intelligence sources or methods discussed. And the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publically known. Reporter but mcmasters statement did not address allegations in the Washington Post that mr. Trump went off script and began describing details of an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of Laptop Computers on aircraft. That classified information reportedly came from a u. S. Partner. And was so sensitive it had not been shared with u. S. Allies and was even restricted within the u. S. Government. According to an intelligence official the information concerns an aviation threat from isis and the mixture of an explosive material to be used in a possible laptop bomb. The source says the russians did not have this information. I was in the room. It didnt happen. Reporter according to mcmaster secretary of state Rex Tillerson and senior white house official dina powell were also present during the meeting. American reporters were barred with the only pictures provided by russian state media. In papers, statements, tillerson doubled down on mcmasters denial and powell said, the story is false. The on the record accounts should outweigh those of anonymous sources. Reporter the meeting at the white house took place one day after the president fired fbi director james comey, who was leading the investigation into whether Trump Campaign associates were coordinating with the russians during the election. Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak remains a central figure in that investigation. Reporter the standard for disclosing classified information is different for a president and what President Trump is accused of doing is not illegal. For anyone else, it would be. The problem here is, according to intelligence officials, is that mr. Trump may have revealed Sensitive Information to the russians which could put lives at risk. Yap officiarussian officials sa stories about President Trump revealing Sensitive Information are in their words fake. Democrats and some republicans in congress are blasting the white house over the reported security breach. Major garret is also at the white house with that part of the story. Major, good morning. Good morning. The optics of the president s meeting with russian officials were always problematic. The oval office access, u. S. Media kept out, russian state media allowed in. This new report, even in its most benign interpretation raises questions about the president s agenda with russia. Theres nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the american people. Reporter h. R. Mcmasters comments did little to satisfy republicans or democrats in congress, both said questions linger. Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee, bob corker said the white house is in a downward spiral. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said such a disclosure could put lives in danger. It could undermine an operation that could be saving lives. And it undermines the trust that we would have with our allies. Reporter lawmakers were careful to say they need more information but concern was widespread. Its disturbing and lets find out what the details are. The suggestion he might have shared highly classified information inappropriately with the Russian Foreign minister is deeply troubling. A time that were having discussions with the russians and their Sensitive Information involved, yeah, that concerns me. We cant have someone in the oval office who doesnt understand the meaning of the word confidential or classified. Reporter during the Campaign Candidate trump was critical of Hillary Clinton who the fbi said mishandled classified information on her private email server. Shes guilty of the server, guilty if you look at confidential information, i mean all of the information that probably has gotten out all over the world. Reporter the White House Communications team huddled for hours to deal with this story and after mcmasters denial it announced to reporters it would answer no more questions. Thats a luxury, charlie, lawmakers are unlikely to indulge. Thanks, major. Cbs senior National Security contributor Michael Morell was acting and Deputy Director of the cia and joins us from washington. Good morning. Good morning, charlie. Tell us what the implications of this are as far as you know for u. S. National security . Charlie, i think there are two. One is that this particular source, this particular method, that provided the highly sensitive intelligence, is now at risk and its at risk from two different sources. One, the russians, who will feel the need to investigate the source, try to figure it out to make sure that this source is not also reporting on their activities in syria. The second is from all of the Media Coverage now of this source and the facts that are being dug out about where it came from, possibly a middle eastern country, that is also putting the source at risk. So thats one damage. The other damage, charlie, is that Foreign Countries share intelligence with the United States regularly, and now they are going to theyre going to take pause and question whether they should continue to do that if the information, if theyre afraid that the information theyre providing could be shared with an adversary of ours and theirs. In fact, to that very point, mike, the New York Times is quoting a former official who said that the u. S. Ally behind the intelligence, quote, repeatedly warned american officials that it would cut off access to such Sensitive Information if it were shared too widely. The question is this, then, could this cost american lives . So, i think that if its if its critically important counterterrorism information and there are lives at risk, i think the partner will continue to share. But they will express their deep displeasure. They might want assurances about how that information is going to be handled in the future. And they might extract some other concession from the United States in retaliation for this, norah. What does this mean, do you think, mike, for the relationship between the Intelligence Community and the white house . There are reports that people that were in the meeting actually ran out of the room to literally get in contact with the cia and the nsa. Gayle, i think theres good news and bad news here. The good news is that the president was receiving his Intelligence Briefings regularly, he was paying attention, he was asking questions, he was showing interest. He clearly absorbed this information. And that was good news for the Intelligence Community. Hes their most important customer. But now theres a question raised in their minds again, about whether he can appropriately handle that information. So thats going to be a big question mark for them. Yeah. There were reports he appeared to be boasting about the knowledge. How does that sit with you as a former member of the Intelligence Community . Thats not surprising to me, gayle. I mean thats thats what he does, right. He plays to his own ego and boasting to the russians about the quality of his intelligence and the quality of his Intelligence Community isnt surprising to me. But thats not what the Intelligence Community is about, right. Shouldnt mcmaster have warned him because this was crucial not to do that and not to give this kind of description of the mission that he did, according to the sources of the Washington Post. Charlie, great question. I think theres two issues here. One is president s before they go into a meeting with a foreign official are given a big, thick briefing book. Here are the issues you can talk about, and issues you cant. For the issues you can talk about heres what you should say, heres what you shouldnt. Clearly the president doesnt Pay Attention to that. Its mcmasters job to make him Pay Attention to that. Secondly in the session with the russians themselves, once the president started going down this road, i think it was h. R. Mcmasters responsibility to redistrict the conversation. In fact, theres a small detail buried in the Washington Post story that says whats most alarming according to intelligence officials trump revealed the city in the Islamic State territory where the u. S. Intelligence partner detected the threat. Thats a level of specificity. That is a very important level of specificity and that is what the russians will go to school on, right. They will want to make sure that that source or method in that particular city is not collecting on them. And that puts that source or method at risk. Michael morell, thank you. In our next hour we will talk with greg miller one of the Washington Post reporters who broke this story. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Cyber Security Experts say north korea may be to blame for the unprecedented Global Ransomware attack. This is new information. The hacking has crippled Computer Systems in at least 150 countries since friday. Experts say that the digital fingerprints resemble other attacks mounted by north korea. Adriana diaz is in beijing with why the threat may not be over. Adriana, good morning. Good morning. Cyber security firms have found similarities between the tools used in this attack and those used in previous hacks blamed on north korea. They were first developed by the National Security agency, but stolen and leaked and may have ended up in the hands of north korean hackers. Just as north korea boasted about the successful launch of a Nuclear Capable rocket, Technology Experts say they have evidence north korean hackers could be behind another international threat. Last fridays global cyber attack. Gregory clark is ceo of symantec one of the Computer Security firms that made the connection . In this case there was a flag fragment that was associated with lazarus. Reporter with ties to north korea and they discovered portions of mall ware codes in wannacry the program used in last weeks cyber attacks. Lazarus was also implicated in the 2014 Sony Pictures data hack an apparent retaliation for its release of the film the interview that mocked north Korean Leader kim jongun and connected with last years theft of 81 million from a bangladesh account at the Federal Reserve bank in new york. U. S. Officials blamed both hacks on north korea. The latest attack was widespread. Forcing a shutdown of hospitals and other businesses around the world. It exploited a known vulnerability in an older Microsoft Program encrypting files to make them inaccessible until a ransom of 300 was paid. While Technology Experts were able to contain this weekends attack, the threat is not yet over. Were worried about the smart guys realizing what worked and what didnt, and Something Else coming our way that might be a little bit better engineered after that happened. Reporter the European Police agency says that roughly 63,000 has already been paid to the hackers by people with infected computers. Now experts say its still too early to blame it on north korea, because the culprits may have just used the Lazarus Malware perhaps to make it look like a north korean attack. Thank you very much. Adriana diaz reporting from beijing. This morning the Syrian Government is rejecting u. S. Accusations that its executing thousands of opponents and burning their bodies to cover up the atrocities. The state Department Released these satellite images it says that they show a crematorium next to a prison north of damascus. The u. S. Says as many as 50 prisoners are killed every day.

A South Carolina coroner says too much caffeine caused the death of a healthy teenager. 16yearold davis cripe collapsed last month at his high school and died at a hospital. He had consumed a large soft drink, a latte, and an energy drink, over a short period of time. Tony dokoupil shows us how the boys parents hope their sons death is a warning to others. Tony, good morning. Good morning. By all accounts this young man was healthy and active and according to his father he shunned drugs and alcohol but a classmate with davis cripe on date he died said he loaded up on caffeine and basically chugged an energy drink during class.

Worry about their safety and health once they start driving but it wasnt a car crash that took his life. Instead it was an energy drink.

While his initial autopsy required more testing, Richland County core rower in gary watts said davis consumed a large soft drink, latte and an energy drink in less than a two hour span bringing on what he called a cardiac event.

The president , im sure you know, fired fbi director james comey last week, then tweeted this. He wrote, james comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. Nobody knows how widespread this alleged taping is. Is he recording Staff Members . Is he recording visiting heads of state . Is there a bootleg of ted nugent live in the oval office . Id buy that. All right. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Lots to say about that topic. The white house still will not say more about President Trumps tweet about tapes on friday. Press Secretary Sean Spicer has avoided the question repeatedly in the last few days. I think the point that i made with respect to the tweet is the president has no further comment on that. Ive talked to the president. The president has nothing further to add on that. Why did he say that . Why did he tweet that . What should we interpret from that . As i mentioned, the president has nothing further to add. Are there recording devices in the oval office . As i said for the third time, theres nothing further to add on that. I think i made it clear last week that the president has nothing further on that. Wait, wait. Sean, does that mean that the president will deny i think i said i was very clear that the president would have nothing further on that last week. Why wont you just explain whether or not there are recordings i think the president s made it clear what his position is. Thats not my question. I understand that. Thats what the president s position is. How is it clear the president made his position clear . Thats his position. He said he has nothing further to add. It was a good question. How is it clear .

The Airline Industry is struggling with a backlash from a string of confrontations with passengers. One of the latest involves a family that accused jetblue over the weekend of kicking them off a flight. They had stored a birthday cake in an overhead bin reserved for safety equipment. The Lowcost Airline says in a statement, the customers were agitated, cursed, and yelled at the crew and made false accusations about crew members fitness to fly. The family claims they were not combative. Jetblue president and Ceo Robin Hayes is here for an interview that you will see only on cbs this morning. Good morning to you. Welcome back. Good morning. Its great to be back. Is it . Its great to be back. You had scheduled this interview before this incident. I did. I bet you were thinking, oh, great. We thank you very much for coming. Lets start with the cake incident and go on with other things. You know, the family says, look, we did what we were told. Are you here to apologize for the actions of your crew . We fly 38 million customers a year, so thankfully, these events are very rare. What happened here was a customer customer stored two items. One was a cake, one was a bag. In a part of the airplane reserved for safety equipment. We train our crew those lockers have to be kept only for safety equipment. The family concerned ignored repeated requests to move it. Our crew even moved it at one point for them, and they moved it back. Then they said some very they made some sort of allegations against the crew. It got to a point where the captain felt, you know, in the interest of all the other customers on the airplane and the crew, the right thing to do was ask that family to leave the airplane. It is rare, but the crew number one value is safety at jetblue. We have to have access to those lockers. When those doors shut and the plane is in the air, our crew need to know everyone is going to work with each other. So youre standing behind the actions of the crew. People say, listen, it was a birthday cake. It was not about the birthday cake. It was about the need to work together. When we all fly and when that airplane door is shut and the crew are there, the crew have to maintain a great environment on board for all of our customers. What are the rules of engagement between crew and passengers when you want to remove them and theyre reluctant to go . Well, what we do is that if the customer, after many attempts to follow the instructions refused to do it, and they then refuse to remove themselves and the aircraft, well ask everyone to come off the aircraft and well reboard with the other customers. Thats indeed what happened here. Now that these confrontations theyre actually not more common, theyre just more reported because everyone is using their cell phones to share the video. What is jetblue doing . What does an Airline Company do . Lets be honest, flying is very stressful. When our airline was founded, it was founded with a mission to inspire humanity. We are very proud of the Customer Service that our crew members provide. We think that is a point of differentiation for jetblue. We offer the most leg room in the cabin because thats important. We offer free tv. We offer free wifi. We offer free drinks and snacks. We dont oversell our flights. I think at jetblue, were doing our bit. But at the end of the darks i think day, i think civility is important. When youre in an aluminum cube for a few hours and we have new neighbors, if we can all just be nice to each other, i think its just going to make the flight go better. Civility on both sides. Exactly. Aluminum tube is a british expression. It is. Im sorry. Roughly 80 of the Airline Market is now controlled by large airlines, not including jetblue. What impact do you think this has on consumers . Does this mean were paying more for flights than we should be . Its something very were concerned about at jetblue. Weve seen a lot of consolidation in the u. S. We now have four large airlines. It means for airlines like jetblue, getting into new markets sometimes can be very charging. When we come into a market, we lower fares. We started flying boston laguardia recently. Fares came down by up to 70 . We just started at atlanta. We were told we only could get one gate and had to share it. Its a real challenge. I think the issue of access and the issue of making sure smaller, competitive, procustomer airlines like jetblue have access to these condition jested airports is something we need to have a National Conversation about. Do prices go up and down as oil prices go up and down . In the past, thats been the case. I think now what im concerned about Going Forward with the power in the hands of so few airlines, that those airlines have a lot of ability to kind of control the pricing environment. I dent think thats good for customers longer term. Everybody wants Better Service and lower prices. Then come to jetblue. Well do our best. And gayle wants more mints. Im a mint girl. We have our new l. A. Terminal opening up thursday. I think its terrific. Laguardia . L. A. X. The welcome gayle king terminal. Shell be there for the ribbon cutting. Thank you so much.

Radio host Michael Smerconish says he interviewed cosby for 30 minutes. In clips released yesterday, cosby seems to suggest racism and revenge were behind the allegations against him. Jericka duncan shows us what this could mean for the criminal trial. Good morning, norah. In criminal cases, defendants and their families usually stay silent. Not bill cosby. Ahead of his trial, his camp has been trying to soften his image and cast him as a victim of a witch hunt. Nefarious is a great word. Reporter in the radio interview, bill cosby appears to blame racism for his Sexual Assault scandal. I just truly believe that some of it may very well be that. Reporter he also seems to claim his dozens of accusers were, quote, piling on. Are you telling me that theyre all lying . You know better than that. Reporte he has actually been sued for defamation, so theres no way hes walking into that trap. Reporter cbs news legal analyst Rikki Klieman says it could be part of an effort to remind jurors of cosbys presumption of innocence. Theres always the possibility that Defense Attorneys look for of jury nullification, that somehow, even in the face of overwhelming evidence, that there may be a reason for jurors to acquit. Reporter smerconish will air the interview uncut on his sirius radio show this morning. Im surprised by how much he did address, including revealing to me whether he will take the stand in his own defense. Reporter cosby granted the interview because the radio host promised to broadcast statements from cosbys daughters ensa and erinn. He also agreed to air an interview between erinn and her father. Does retirement ever cross your mind . Does my retirement no, no. So for two years or more, it has been relentless publicity against him. And who is there to humanize bill cosby if not bill cosby and his own children.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. President trump responds to claims that he revealed classified information to russian officials. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Despite white house denials, sources tell cnbc news that something inappropriate was discussed. The optics of the president s meeting were always problematic. Now this new report raises new questions. Now theres a question raised about whether he can appropriately handle that information. Yeah, there were reports that he appeared to be boasting about the knowledge. How does that sit with you . Thats not surprising to me, gail. Thats what he does, right . He plays his own ego. Cyber security firms have found similarities between the tools used in this attack and those used in previous hacks blamed on north korea. Federal investigators are working to determine what caused a fiery plane crash in new jersey. Surveillance video captured the moment the private plane exploded into a fireball. The president did not get to go to florida this weekend. He had to stay back to give the commencement speech at Liberty University on saturday where he inspired graduates by marvelling at the size of the crowds hes able to draw. This is a beautiful stadium and it is packed. Im so happy about that. I said, how are you going to fill up a place like that . Donald trump is the only person who could show up to an event and assume the crowd is there to see him. On that point, he does have a point. Normally graduations it is a big crowd. Lots of family and children. Thats right. Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. President trump is giving his view of the Oval Office Meeting where he reportedly revealed classified information to russia. The president tweeted this morning he wanted to share with russia facts pertaining to terrorism in Airline Flight safety. He added, i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. Now this all began last week when the president met with the Russian Foreign minister and moscows u. S. Ambassador at the oval office. Jeff pegues is here. Reporter good morning. A former official told cbs news that something inappropriate was discussed with the russian diplomats. The Washington Post reports that at some point at some point during that meeting the president went off script and began describing details of an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of Laptop Computers on an aircraft. The closely held information reportedly came from a partner through an intelligence sharing arrangement. According to an official it was an isis laptop bomb. In a statement to reporters outside the white house National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster strongly denounced the story but he did not address whether the president disclosed classified information. The president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. At no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. Reporter the president does have the power to declassify certain information, but the question here is whether he revealed sources and methods. Today the russians dismissed this story as fake. Nora . All right, jeff. Thank you. Greg miller coauthored the Washington Post story. Good morning. Good morning. So last night a number of white house officials called the story false. This morning President Trump said he had the absolute right to share these terrorism facts. Whats your take . Yeah, so once again were seeing the president sending out his team, his subordinates to advance one story line and then he immediately comes behind them and pulls the rug right out from under them. I interpret his tweets this morning as essentially confirming what we reported yesterday and trying to offer some sort of defense that he did so for legitimate reasons. I think that thats hard to square with how this conversation was characterized to us in our story in which he was essentially boasting to these russian officials about his inside knowledge of very sensitive Islamic State threat. I wonder why theyre constantly defending the notion that there were no disclosure of sources and methods. In fact, that was never something you alleged. Thats right. Our story was actually included a sentiment that said that trump did not disclose the specific collection mechanism here or capability nor did he identify the ally that provided it, but he went into significant detail on the intelligence that came through that intelligence channel and that was what was problematic, because russia, which has highly capable Intelligence Services of its own, could possibly reverse engineer that information and figure out where it had come from. So, greg, one white house official who was in the room during this meeting said that the sources that youre quoting were people who either werent there or no longer in the government. So how do you determine how you can rely on the sources that you get . I think everybodys curious about how you got the story . Im not asking about your sources but did you get a call . Did you get an email . What happened . I dont want to go into any detail about our sourcing on the story except to say that we had multiple sources, multiple sources corroborating this information and it has all held up and that ore news organizations have since matched the story. Trumps tweets basically confirm the story and we had lengthy, lengthy interactions with the white house all day yesterday. I had two separate conversations with h. R. Mcmaster in which he never said we discussed the story details at length, he never said it was false until after it was published. Wow. So have we heard yet from the country that was supposedly sending this information and who the relationship may have been at risk because it was disclosed . Do we know what their reaction has been . You know, we didnt identify that country in the story. Im not asking you to identify it. Im asking you on your reporting. We said in the story i dont know that weve seen yet a reaction. We do know that this is a country that in the past has expressed deep concern about the United States inability to safeguard secrets that this country provides, so i think its safe to expect that theyre not going to be very happy with this latest disclosure. Mike morell said in a previous conversation earlier that h. R. Mcmaster should have informed the president about the sensitivity of this. To stop talking. Right, while in the white house. Might have been difficult. I think it speaks to the sort of atmosphere in this white house, that nobody, it appears, is in a position to challenge trump on these kinds of issues. In fact, one of the details in our story talks about the length that his own National Security staff goes to to try to prepare him for meetings like this. They put together, you know, two to five page briefing papers that he is expected to read, to understand how to handle a meeting with foreign leaders, and he insists that those all be boiled down to single page bullet points and he often sets those aside. Greg, you really take us inside that Oval Office Meeting as you described it. White house officials immediately recognized that the president might have, quote, overstepped and that the cia and nsa were called immediately to begin a discussion about this. What did you learn about this . What were they concerned about . They were concerned about the fallout, and i think this is Something Else that really undercuts the denials that we saw from the white house. If this was all appropriate and there was no problem here, why was it that white house officials were quickly calling the cia director and the nsa director to give them a heads up on what had just happened . The purpose of those calls was to warn them because those agencies are the ones that deal directly with this partner. Theyre the ones that are going to have to deal directly with any fallout. Greg, thank you. Great reporting. Thank you. Despite pressure from the u. S. Syrian president bashar al assad, he is in controlling of major syrian cities.

Almost a third of millennials are under their parents roof. Among those, one in four are not working or going to school, and that could affect their parents retirement savings. Jill schlesinger is here. Good morning. Good morning. Explain how this may be a problem for the parents. What were really concerned about is when your kids come home, you want to help them. You dont want to enable them. You want to help them get a start. But i start to hear these stories about people who say, oh, you know, i got a second mortgage on my house because my kid needs this. Or im not going to put money in any own 401 k because my kids moving home. Help them with the car payment. Keep them on their insurance. Whatever it is. But were really worried because as you get so close to retirement, maybe your late 40s and 50s, these are critical years where we really want to see you continue to contribute. Thats why i think its really important to have conversations with your kids before they come home. How long is this going to last . What are the Financial Arrangements . What are you leaving . I still have a bedroom both for favorite daughter, favorite son, and hope they never have to used it on a regular basis, but i want them to know theyll always have a place. How do you determine how much youre supposed to contribute to helping them . Is there a number . Theres not a number. This is what i think is critically important. It is something that actually keeps you on track to hit your own retirement. So we want you to run numbers. There are a lot of free calculators that are online. There are also some paid versions of calculators that with help you figure out what you need to be doing. More importantly, how are we creating financially independent kids if you are enabling them . Again, theres Something Different between having a safety net and actually doing a little bit too much. Again, as that retirement is looming, you cannot make a mistake. This comes with a lesson. Right, yeah. How important is it i think a lot of people very much concentrate on this old notion, i must have no debt coming into retirement. First of all, its nearly impossible for the vast majority of americans. So dont muput that on yourself. More importantly, think about this. When youre in your ri tiermt, retierrement, you dont hava mortgage, but you dont have access to the money you would have had in saves. You need that money to be growing. You may need that in an emergency, health care issue. Having that liquidity, access to money fast, may be much more important than being mortgage free, just because it emotionally makes you feel better. As my father used to like to say, you cant take the den to the grocery store, so be careful help them but not at your own expresen expense, thank you. Ahead, how a United States marine corps hat brought two men together at a Cracker Barrel of all places. And Rolling Stone magazine in the house today, celebrating are its 50th anniversary. The cofounder is here to share what he sees for the next 50 years. Youre watching cbs this morning. We continue our ongoing series. Its called a more Perfect Union to show what unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. A georgia man is receiving a kidney transplant today. What makes this surgery so extraordinary is his very unique relationship with the donor. A chance meeting at a Cracker Barrel in georgia changed both of their lives forever. Mark strassman is at the mayo clinic in jacksonville, florida. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. At any given moment, about 100,000 americans are waiting for a kidney transplant. 5,000 people will die waiting. So this is the story about two men, perfect strangers, who proved that we all have more in common than we could possibly imagine. Pastor Edgar Roberts has wait the six years for this day. A lifesaving kiddney transplan. John branson is the kidney donor. In april of 2016, the two men met improbably at this Cracker Barrel in georgia. I walked in and i saw a guy, edgar, sitting at a table by himself, and he had a marine hat on. My son is just getting ready to graduate the naval academy. So i walk up and started talking to him. Reporter roberts, a Vietnam Combat vet, is now a 70yearold grandfather of two. Branson, a 51yearold Police Lieutenant in anderson, indiana. He was passing through georgia on his way to a florida vacation. So the two of you hit it off. Yes. Right away . Right away. Could tell he wasnt feeling real well. Thats why i asked him what was wrong. He just looked drained. And you said . I just came off dialysis. You were wiped out. Reporter roberts had lost both his kidneys to cancer and was receiving dialysis three days a week. He has been on the transplant wait list for three years. For three months after that chance meeting, the two men swapped phone calls. Roberts health kept declining. Branson called again. He said, im ready. Im going to give you a kidney. What went through your mind . Im saying thank you, jesus. You dont get to meet too many strangers you know right away are good people without exception. Thats what i feel about edgar. I got an extra kidney. I thought, ill just give it a shot and see if im a match. Reporter turns out branson absolutely. Reporter dr. Christopher croome will perform the transplant later today. Ever hear of a donation quite like this . Snot linot like this. The chance of them meeting and going to a place they werent planning to go seems like fate. Reporter at Roberts Church this past sunday, the faithful prayed for their pastors transplant. You gave us a savior, father. Reporter they also gave thanks to special visitors, lieutenant john brandon and his family. He was on the other side of the world. He come and give me a kidney, and hes a white guy. And he didnt have no reservation. Im struck by the generosity of the offer, right. You guys are strangers. Strangers. What was the connection that made that offer possible . It was just the ability to do Something Really Nice for someone. I mean, ive been a policeman for 27 years. My first offer is to help. He caught me on a real good day. And whats the connection like between you guys now . Its like divine intervention. Hes my brother that i didnt have. Brother from another mother. Reporter roberts surgery has begun. Each of the two surgeries should take about 2 1 2 hours. If all goes well, the two men and their families are planning to take a cruise together this summer. Oh, thats nice. Mark, what a wonderful story. Again, a reminder that we are more alike than we are different. And that civility should reign. And so many people like to have an opportunity to do something good that they know will have an effect on a persons life. On many levels you have to like that story. The chance meeting, the fact they had military backgrounds, the black white thing he pointed out. Its one of those things that makes you realize its so good to live in this country. Very nice, mark.

Nearly 50 years ago, he cofounded this small little music publication in san francisco, the rock and roll newspaper was called Rolling Stone. He printed the First Edition with 7500 he raised from friends. Wenner was just 21 years old at the time. Wow. He wrote this in the editors note. We hope that we have something here for the artists and the industry and every person who believes in the magic that can set you free. That hope translated into success. Rolling stone has now published more than 1200 issues. It covers and shapes music, politics, and pop culture. Two of his bestknown writers, tom wolf and Hunter Thompson, spoke with cbs in 1987 about what makes Rolling Stone so special. Rolling stone has been extremely flexible and willing to take chances and not frighten. With Rolling Stone, i was given the room and the range to really stomp on the terror. Very few places will give you that. The magazine is celebrating its golden anniversary with a new book 50 years of Rolling Stone, featuring an introduction by cofounder jann wenner. Way back 50 years ago in san francisco, what the hell did you think you were doing . Well, i didnt know. I was a kind of wild rock and roll kid who loved music and wanted to do something about that, but i had no idea what it would ultimately become, such a big mainstream publication and talking to president s and going to the oval office and air force one and doing all that. And rock and roll too. It all stems from rock and roll. When we started to cover music in the beginning, we had the beatles, the stones. They were beginning to form a world view and a conscious and attitude. It reflected the just coming of age baby boom, which is kind of a new idea about politics. They had a kind of a social mission at its core even then. People didnt see that right away. We did see that. We celebrated that. You must have been a different kind of kid. You were 21 years old. I marvel at that when you look at the 21yearolds today. I can remember what i was like at 21. Just the fact you could think that at 21. You said you wanted to give rock and roll a voice. What was the story for that voice that you thought was missing . Well, at that time, the few publications that covered music were really teenage fan magazines. It was little teenage girls. There was no coverage of rock and roll in the New York Times or the magazines or on television or anywhere. Really, it was just kind of you could get rock and roll on top 40 radio, in the jukeboxes. We wanted to Say Something about it, and you could get it in Rolling Stone. We sort of became the voice of it and let the groups and artists talk through us and explain themselves to their audience through us. It was a newspaper at first on a rotary press that you guys the first time you watched it and clicked your champagne glasses. In the first year, yo uh had interviews with mick jacker and pete townsend. How . I think they saw what we were doing, as small as it was. They saw what it was, and they liked it. They realized we were taking them on their own terms. Reflecting the kind of seriousness with which they took their music and not just what theyre looking for in a girlfriend. Something of substance. And they respond to us. They wanted to talk about it. They knew they were going to get taken seriously. You found the great Hunter Thompson and the great ann knee liebowitz. You said about hunter, i could never find another hunter. Well, its a one of a kind. Between his skill as a writer and a reporter and his really he was also an amazing personality. Loved him. Being with hunter, you knew you were going to have the most exciting time of your life. Something youre always going to live on the edge of danger. Youre in a car with him, it was danger. And annie liebowitz. You wanted that magazine, that paper to have a look. I believe an essential part of rock and roll was the style of it and the image of it. I wanted photography. I wanted good photography. Annie was in an office on her own, just a student. She gave me some pictures she took and we started giving her assignments. She kept coming back better and better. Soon enough, i mean, i had no idea when i saw her the first time she would end up being one of the worlds greatest living photographers. Theres a picture of john lennon and yoko ono. You say thats your favorite picture. Well, certainly the most astounding cover ever. Just the image itself is so powerful. It was published at a time when she was skikilled. It became an inextricable part of what happened. When he was killed, yeah. 50 years concludes highs a lows. Where do you put the university of virginia reporting . A low. We made a really big mistake there. The underlying story and reporting, rape on campus, another thing about what we said about title nine enforcement. Unfortunately, the example we used turned out to be not true, and on that mistake, we got hung. Weve been doing this did it do damage in terms of you and the readers . No, it just was an incident. If you do 50 years of this kind of reporting and daring it happens so rarely to you. Just the once in a lifetime thing. Its happened to time. Now your son is going to be taking over is the word. Thats the word. How do you feel about that . What does he bring that you dont . Youth, energy, all those things i once brought to it myself. You still have that. Can i just tell one quick story . When i first came to new york, he had a little party. I went over there, and i saw this table. I loved this table. I knew it would be a center piece for the show that i was going to do. So i went to him and said, can i buy that table . Not just a table, my desk. And he said to me, no no, he said, let me check into it. He said, i cant do this because it was at the original san francisco. But he found he and helped me find the table thats been the center piece of my show for more than 25 years. Now charlie sits around the table. Among our many accomplishments. Looking at your pictures younger, look at you. I look at your face and what you were thinking. You were such a kid. Look what you started. Congratulations on 50. Thank you very much. Its great. Thank you, norah, charlie, gayle. Pleasure to be here and celebrate. 50 years of Rolling Stone is on sale now.

Testimony, a tour deforce of collapsing perceptions. It took you four years because you were doing a lot of research. I did a lot of research. I went to europe three times. I spent a week in the hague, which is a wonderful city. A different kind of week in bosnia, which is also a remarkable place. What did you want to tell on this one . You know, i just wanted to go some place a little different, and i thought that frankly the International Criminal court is not something thats well understood in the United States, and therefore made, i thought, an interesting setting for a legal thriller. Where did you get the idea from . I was at a reception in the hague in holland, which is one of the capitals, at the american ambassadors house. There was a group of american lawyers who worked in the hague. They were all around me going, youve got to write a book about this place. This place is amazing. The back stories and back channels and the cases themselves. Usually when people are saying that to you, its like how antilles antique face disappeared. So i always held on to it. Who did you create as your main character . Its a guy named bill, midlife crisis, although for reasons that he doesnt quite understand. Hes given up his marriage, his job, finally husbais country an gone off to the hague to investigate the disappearance. This is what you say about him. Being a successful middle age man, being suddenly single is like being a water boy for the Football Team who finds a magico genius turned him into the prom king. Theres another side to bills life, of course. Since hes a single male, and he discovers that he has all the magical powers that he wished he had when he was 17. The Washington Post calls it a Tour De Force of the collapsing perceptions. Nobody is quite who they seem to be. Bill, of course, is led astray in several different ways, both by witnesses and in his personal life. And yet, its like a set of chinese boxes. Things keep opening outward. It twists and turns, but it all makes sense. Sometimes writers do something where you didnt see it coming where you go, where is that coming out of the left field . That is not what you do in this book, as complicated and layered as it is. Is that important . One of the things i was proud of when i finished the book is i felt exactly what you were saying. It really does all come together. It has both a unified story and a unified meaning. Are you still practicing law . I do a little bit. Im a partner in a Big International firm called dentons. I always have a case or two going. So when i get back from the book tour, ill dig into something new. They dont look at you and go, oh, off your book tour, decide to come to work today . You know, its a deal thats worked for everybody since 1990. So they let me write and practice law. I still really enjoy being a lawyer. You do . When you get outside your comfort zone, where are you . What do you do . Are we talking about as a lawyer or writer . Both. And a man. As a writer and as a man, less as a lawyer. You know, ive renewed my life about ten years ago, and what does that mean . Well, you know, i had a marriage that ended and, you know, put me on a new course. For me, its been tonic. Its been revitalizing. Im remarried now. Mrs. Turow is in the green room. Shes lovely. Theres a lot of pain involved in that for everybody, certainly my kids, and i have a great relationship now with my ex. Sounds like that might have fed who bill is. It certainly fed who bill is. We cannot walk away from that. There are a lot of references in this book about divorce. Very well done. Nice to have you here. Norah, thanks. Great to be here. Thank you so much.
