Transcripts For KPIX CBS This Morning 20170815

Wave of cocaine coming to the u. S. But first a look at todays eye opener. Those who cause violence are criminals and thugs including the kkk. Neo nazis, White Supremacists. The president urged to cut ties with chief strategist steve bannon. A big part of the problem is there are members in the white house staff who believe in accommodating this alt right movement in the United States. Growing anger over the symbols of the confederacy. Protesters toppled a statue of a confederate soldier. Police in Oklahoma City say they stopped a man plotting to blow up a bank. Varnell is in federal custody. He had the intent to carry out this plot to the end. James mattis issued a new warning. If north korea hits guam or any part of the United States, it is quote, game on. The rhetoric from kim jongun, i think its appropriate that we make preparations. Heavy rains caused a severe mud slide. And hundreds are dead and hundreds more missing. A bit of a phone mishap in a private airport hangar. All that great white shark snatching a fishermans catch right off the hook. And blue jays fans have a bat flying right at them. And all that matters. Bettis made a return to the diamond after a battle with cancer. The rockies beat atlanta. What a story book night for him. On nbc this morning. F on cbs this morning. Really . When you take a job like that you know that your Expiration Date is coming. I didnt think i was going to last too long but longer than a carton of milk. Welcome to cbs this morning. Welcome to cbs this morning we are all back and we are all by that. Special thanks to people who sat in at this table. The next white house staff shakeup could leave steve bannen on the outside. Chumps chief political strategist could be gone. Helped mr. Trump win the presidency but his future is at risk because the new chief of staff is working to restore order. Major garret is at the white house. Good morning. We can report through various sources inside and outside the white house that chief strategist steve bannon has never been in more jeopardy. One source tells us he could be gone. His stock has risen and fallen and he has survived job scares before. His close personal relationship with the president cant be ruled out. His faith is the topic of discussion. In part because bannons history of clashing as well as top economic advisers. He is accused of using his allies to try to undermine hr mcmaster as National Security adviser. The new chief of staff john kelly is trying to eliminate that kind of open factional warfare within the white house and he has tried to strengthen mcmasters position within the white house and bannons hard right nationalist Economic Perspective and his reluctance to engage or expand military operations makes him clash with comparatively more moderate voices in the white house. In the end this could come down to the president s newly forged relationship with kelly. Several kelly wants more adults in the white house and where ba non falls on kellys estimation of adult, not adult, could decide his fate. All right. Thank you very much.

The fiveyearold beige is dedicated to calling out racism. Now shifting its focus to exposing White Supremacists who gathered over the weekend. Kris van cthe statue of robert e. Lee in charlottesville. Ist aleav kris, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. This park was full of White Supremacists protesters over the weekend. Many of them werent covering their faces. They werent trying to hide their identities but were still largely anonymous. One man is trying to use his twitter page to change that. He wants to not only name them but to shame them. The protests in charlottesville were angry, violent and deadly. We saw more White Supremacists attend the rally in charlottesville than weve seen in over a decade. Reporter in demonstrators also seemed unconcerned about being exposed. Theyre not Wearing Masks anymore. Theyre not wearing their hoods. Theyre not afraid anymore. Reporter logan smith who runs the twitter account yes, youre racist decided they did not deserve to be anonymous. On saturday he started posting pictures on his page. His followers jumped to about 350,000, they started helping him put names to faces. I was able to go through these public profiles, look at know, that they were in fact the same person. Reporter for many, this mans image has come to symbolize this rally. He was a student at the university of nevada. I do not identify as a white supremacist or racist. Of course that definition is really fluid. People have one version, i have another. Im alt right because im pro white. Its not just twitter that led to protesters.

Both the man behind the twitter page and some of the people hes identified say theyve been receiving death threats. Very interesting how that, you know, theyre there in a public rally and now their names are being tied to s. R fathce i think that takes it to a whole different level for me.

A student driver working on the superhero sequel dead pool 2 died yesterday when his motorcycle hit a Glass Building in vancouver. Actor tom cruise appearing to hurt himself while leaping between buildings for the latest Mission Impossible movie. Good morning. Stunts are a dangerous business and the people behind those stunts sometimes risk their lives to capture that Perfect Moment for the cameras. While much of hollywood relies on special effects, tom cruise likes to do it himself. Whether thats swinging from the worlds tallest building in dubai or dangling from the back of a cargo plane, the 55yearold actor says its all part of the business. When im underwater on the plane, we spent a lot of Time Training but it was a stunt. The latest Mission Impossible sequel, he appears to hurt himself while trying to jump between buildings. And filming was brought to a stand still on the set of dead pool 2 after a stunt woman was killed riding a motorcycle. Motorcycle comes flying over the street, looked like off a ramp because it was in the air. Standing on the bike, slams into that building. Reporter and in july, stuntman john was killed during the filming of the walking dead. A lot has to deal with the fact that there arent any formal regulations. John has been performing stunts on film and tv for a decade. There isnt as much of an emphasis on making sure that one, how can i do this stunt safely and two, can i do this stunt at all. Reporter he says in his isnt clearly outlined and that needs to change. When you dont have any regulations in place, then bad things are bound to happen. Reporter police in British Columbia are investigating the cause of the stunt womans death in vancouver. Ahead, well go inside the effort to stop high traffickers on the high seas.

Thats the raw ingredient in cocaine. Production surged between 2015 and 2016. Much of it is ultimately bound for the United States. We went inside an Operations Center tracking the drugs on the ocean. Hes at a coast guard station in miami beach. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The u. S. Stopped four metric tons of cocaine in the eastern pacific this past weekend alone. Now the task force that found those drugs is warning more are on the way. Its got to be like watching an approaching storm. It is. I talk about it as really an approaching tsunami of cocaine getting ready to hit the global market. Hes the director of joint Interagency Task force south. The western hemispheres nerve center for tracking drug traffickers. Its based in key west, florida, where tourists visiting seem largely unaware of whats happening daily on the other side of the fence. Definitely a lot of stuff on the boat. Looks like he might be dumping more stuff here. From here an alphabet soup of government agencies, military branches and 17 different nations Work Together to fifick vulnerable. Out on the high seas when theyre hundreds of miles away from shore, these traffickers have no place to run. They have no place to hide. Theyre out in plain sight. These are the paths that are taken for these drugs moving into the United States and other parts of the world. As you see where the lines get really thick, if you were to break this out, youre really talking thousands of events that we monitor last year. How much of that are you able to stop . Very little. Three out of every four events that we have awareness of we have no asset to go after it. Theyre getting through. Theyre getting through. We need more ships and aircraft is the bottom line. Ships like the coast guard cutter james which we visited on its way to the eastern pacific. T. Our last patrol we were able to bring 16 tons of cocaine back. It was worth about 420 million. Nearly enough to pay for this ship. And that was just in about a 45day period. Now were going to the combat information center. He commands the most sophisticated ship in the coast guards fleet. We have a lot of different sensors so well issue the orders to launch the helicopter, to launch the small boats and we vector them in to those targets. Thats one of the rounds that we use right there. Armed helicopters are key to the end game flying low alongside go fast boats many times at night to shoot out the engines. You can see on this side here the entry point where a sniper round has gone in. This has been very effective technique. But the smugglers have developed techniques of their own like big foot. Big foot is what we term a selfpropelled semisubmersible. These are harder to spot. And carry tons more cocaine. Probably a week does not go by that we dont have a report somewhere throughout the region of these of these types of vessels on the water. Last year the task force set an alltime record stopping 285 metric tons of cocaine, but its only a fraction of the total flow. Its very frustrating for the men and women of this task force knowing we could be doing so much more, but it really comes down to a series of choices. How much do we want to make this a priority . Ultimately their goal is to dismantle the Trafficking Networks which can move anything, not just drugs, but because of aging ships and aircraft, the task force may have even fewer resources next year.

People are definitely looking at me like im a crazy person eating an entire box of pastries. Typically day for me on the road is two breakfasts. People are like i want to go out to dinner with you. Your job sounds so amazing and they come out with me and we have a long din per. Try to hit two lunches and two dinners. And im like okay. Time to go to the next dinner. Theyre like what .

We go in there with confidence, i think, and trust others that we came up with the list that is diverse in the cuisine, geographically diverse, and restaurants that are representative of what is going on in american restaurants at this moment.
