Homeland Security Committee mike mccaul, the number two democrat dick durbin and two hispanic members, Raul Labrador and kelp grat luis gutierrez. Plus our all star panel of analysts. 60 years of news because this is face the nation. Captioning sponsored by cbs good morning again, we are starting today with a situation in ferguson, missouri, where there have been a handful of arrests in the last few days as Community Awaits what grand jury action, many others have appealed for calm and peaceful protests but the community is very much on edge. Mark strassmann is outside the courthouse in clayton, missouri. Last three months this grand jury has been looking at Darren Wilson to see side whether he should be criminally charged for shooting Michael Brown on august 9. Grand jury has been given a case as though criminal case has been presented to them and they have to decide should he be charged with murder, voluntary or Involuntary Manslaughter or not be charged at all. The stakes are enormous here. A great deal of an prehenk, security has been ramped up, governor declared state of emergency, you have security barriers in all the potential hot spots where protesters might gather and increased Police Presence as you look around you see Police Officers are guarding parking lots, building, trying to give sense of calm here. Everybody has pleaded for peace from attorney general alec holder to Michael Browns parents but depending what the grand jury decides, of course, anything could happen here and that is what has put this community on edge. Schieffer Mark Strassmann in clayton, missouri. Joining me in the studio the president of the naacp, Cornell Williams brooks. Thank you so much for coming. What do you think is going to happen once this grand jury announces its decision . I believe that the citizens of missouri and ferguson and the country will respond and call for systemic change. Michael browns death is more than individual tragedy. Feels like generational assault of young people. So where we have lowest crime rate in 20 years, we yet have generation of young people who per receive they are in the midst of pandemic of police misconduct. People will call for systemic response and legislation. Reforms in policing. Police departments that are accountable. And that engage the community and dont profile and prey upon the community. Schieffer governor has already declared a state of emergency, theyre preparing for the worst, i would suppose. Are you concerned about that . I am very concerned. The governors response to this as though it were a security crisis as opposed to a social justice crisis. I believe that his actions with respect to the guard and state of emergency are presumptuous as to intent of demonstrators are young practitioners of democracy. And presumptuous. We can go in to this expecting nonviolence, civil disobedience. I believe that the government should respond systemically in terms of what hes going to do, or call upon his state to do. The task force is a great thought, much more needs to be done. Schieffer as you well know, this grand jury may well not return an indictment here. They may take no action and what im hearing its going to be a very hard case for the prosecutors probably to prove. Are you concerned about if that happens what the community, what the reaction of the community will be . Do you think it will be violent . I am concerned. I am concerned because we have a prosecutor who had five complaints filed with the Justice Department concerning his Police Department by naacp. This is before mike brown. They conduct grand jury a process where dumps evidence in to the lapse of the grand jury. But were more concerned about the failure of the grand jury given the direct as is typically the case and concerned about the family and outraged community. We want justice for them first and foremost but want to that is the issue here. Schieffer are you urging people in the community not to commit violence here, are you saying to them, look, this is not going to help . In fact it can hurt our cause or what are you telling them . Absolutely. The naacp is always good for civil disobedience, nonviolent protest. Weve done that over our history and do so now. Were calling upon our members, members of the community to respond to this decision in a nonviolent fashion. Everyone has a right to express their right under the constitution. Fact an obligation. We need to be clear. There is asymmetry of responsibility. The police have the greatest responsibility to keep peace and order and to behave in fashion that encourages nonviolence, not to agitate the situation. We believe that 99 of demonstrators and protesters will be nonviolent. Certainly Justice Department and others are responding to the possibility of violence and again its just a possibility. Schieffer theres a huge Media Presence there. Does it concern you that so much attention to being focused here that this in fact could provoke something . I believe the media in many ways helps because they are helping us focus how to prevent future tragedies. Consider this, over a hundred years ago, the naacp, almost a hundred years ago served antilynching law which would prevent the kind of racial profiling that we see today. The point being here is we long against this kind of violence, we dont want violence, dont want violent protests done in the name of a violent attack, we dont want that. Schieffer lets hope that everything works out. Well have an eye on it. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Schieffer well tush now to the weeks other big story the president s desection to take executive akron immigration on friday, signed orders to protect five million of the 11 Million Immigrants here illegally from deportation. And allows them work permits they will have to pay a Registration Fee and future taxes, talk about this were going to talk first to republican mike mccaul, the chairman of house homeland Security Committee in austin this morning. Mr. Mccaul, what now . It seems to me that the president has drawn a line in the sand or whatever you want to call it here is that going to help or hurt the situation . I think it hurts the situation. It poisons the well. Going in to new congress, people have spoken in the election and this he says that members of congress question why Legal Authority to do this where he himself said 22 times that did he not have the Legal Authority to do this. That is not how democracy works. He said. I think this is bit of threat to our democracy, regardless of where you stand on this issue, i understand its emotional issue but right way to do this and wrong way to do it. I think the right way is work with congress to get real results and solutions. Schieffer well lets say he has said what he has said. What will republicans do, are you planning on getting legislation together and sending it to the white house or will you just try to block some people are saying hold up every nomination that he sends up to the congress. The other people, theres even some talk of maybe impeachment might be something to think about. What do you think republicans ought to do next . I think impeachment, the constitutionality issue will be determined by the courts. There are various lawsuits, my state now governor, attorney general, filing a lawsuit against this. The courts will decide that issue. I want to make one thing very clear. Were not going to shut the government down. But we are going to shut down this president and his actions as it pertains to granting amnesty to five million people. Were looking at various options including the power of the purse, things to do to stop this in the short term. In the long term, i think its incumbent upon republicans to come up with our own agenda, positive, constructive agenda which will read, i believe, with my committees bill that will be the Border Security bill. We have to get that security piece done to have intelligent Immigration Reform, that is not being done right now. Last thing, biggest concern i have, because of this talk of am necessity and reform were inviting whole other wave of Illegal Immigrants that we saw in 1986 when amnesty was granted and the executive action. There is cause and affect it did result in people crossing the rio grand sector in my state. We want to do this methodically, smart, starting with Border Security then looking at Immigration Reform measures. Schieffer do you think anything can get done in this lame duck session or will all this come next year . I think the agenda, in the short term with the lame duck we have to figure out how were going to keep the government open. And not shut it down and at the same time deal with this executive action which i think overwhelmingly the American People are rejecting because of the way it was done. He circumvented the congress, the will of the American People, that has short to make laws, i believe hes failed in that responsibility. Schieffer is there unity among republicans . I hear what youre saying this morning, you sound very much taking the position that john boehner and mitch mcconnell, the leaders of the congress and senate are taking, but you know as well as i do there are others that have different ideas here. How close are you to getting the republicans and house together on unified plan . Well, this has to be done sequentially. The more confidence we have in the security piece being done. You can reform the laws, as long as people continue to understand the country thats not very intelligent. We need security bill then Immigration Reform piece. Were going to have divisions, but most of us understand that we have now been given mandate to govern to pass things out of congress to deal with the challenges that are out there. This is one of the big e challenges and probably most difficult ones to fix but there are leaders in our congress what are willing to fix a broken system. Schieffer mr. Chairman, thank you so much for being with us. Well get the view from the other side of the aisle now, the number two democrat in the senate leadership, dick durbin of illinois. Senator, you just heard congressman, why did the president take this tact . He had no choice. I listen toed response. It is clear that they can complain, they can threaten, they can talk about lawsuits, cutting off funding, shutting down the government in the extreme even impeachment but the real question is, can they govern. Can they govern . Its been 51 days since we sent the bipartisan comprehensive Immigration Reform bill from the senate which passed with 68 votes to the house of representatives. They have never called the bill. They never had a hearing on the bill. They never taken up any part of it. Now they complain because the president stepped in said we need accountability when it comes to immigration. They have to step up and govern. You asked the key question, do you among the republicans, mr. Mccaul have your act together, do you know what you want . At this point its not clear. They want to continue with current broken down system which is de facto amnesty . Do they want to sponsor massive deportation. I hope not. Or work with schieffer let me ask you this. Why, im just asking, id be interested in what your reaction. Why didnt the president talk about that bill say, look, you guys have been saying you want to do something, send me a bill up here. Ill either sign it or veto or maybe once you send it up here ill say couple things i dont like, can you change this. Why didnt dough that instead of what they say just sticking them in the eye with a stick. Let me try to recall back in july when Speaker Boehner was promising the president he was going to send him a bill. At that point the president waited as he said strategic patience, whatever they send me ill work with them. It never happened. The president said, i have this choice. What hes stepping forward to do now what most americans want to see, make sure that if youre living in this country undocumented youve been a drug dealer or gang banger youre gone, no ifs, ands or buts, put this criminal background check. Make sure that those who are working here are paying taxes to our government we want to strengthen the border. The president wants to focus our resources make sure we have more security on the border to make certain that we are deporing those who are truly a threat to our communities. Republicans talk about cutting the funding for the president s program, cutting funding for border enforcement and for deporting those who are dangerous to our country. Schieffer let us just quote what some republicans are saying to me, look, hes not trying to get anything done here what hes trying to do is force us in to doing Something Like shutting down the government which he thinks will hurt us and hurt republicans in jeopardy for 2016. What would your ex plaintiff nation for that or answer for that . I hope, i believe that the republicans learned a lesson when senator ted cruz of texas shut down the government over Affordable Care act. It was a political disaster which they should never repeat. But the what the president is doing is saying im going to do what i can in my power to have accountability in immigration. Now its your responsibility. They had almost 20 days left this year to call the bipartisan bill from the senate. They could do that instantly. The week after thanksgiving. I hope that they will. That will really be an opportunity to see if the will is there in the house to pass it. Schieffer you talk about leader slip amongst republicans and are they together, are democrats together here . We know that in the senate what we know of at least five democrats voted against harry reid. We know that his top aide is sitting here making disparaging statements about the president , blaming him for losing the mid terms. How does the president get along with democrats these days . Very well. But i think theres reality. In the states the president did not carry, some of the states where there were dissass truss results, its clear that some democrats are putting distance between themselves and the president. Thats not unusual in american politics. But i believe that there is an overwhelming majority within the sebate Democratic Caucus for what the president is doing. We stood up on a bipartisan basis created a good bill to deal with immigration. We know now that the house has that same responsibility. I think all Democratic Senators stand behind the president try to make this a safer nation with this accountability also make certain that those who are working here with the temporary work permit will pay their fair share. Schieffer why do you think the democrats did so poorly . Historically off year elections, secondly there isnt a lot of happiness with washington, d. C. And as consequence a lot of people have given up on the front that washington can improve their lives. That accounts for the fall off in turn out in many states. I think we have the restore some hope and confidence. Schieffer do you see anything changing . I think it can. Your earlier guest from the naacp talked about some of the issues facing us with race and crime. Im working on a bill with cory booker and rand paul, also ted cruz to deal with smarter sentencing guidelines. Theres an opportunity here, i hope that we seize it to do some bipartisan activities to move this country forward. Schieffer i think most people would say they hope you succeed. Thank you so much, senator. Well be back in a moment. Daughter do you and mom still have money with that broker . Dad yeah, 20 something years now. Thinking about what you want to do with your money . Daughter looking at options. What do you guys pay in fees . Dad i dont know exactly. Daughter if youre not happy do they have to pay you back . Dad it doesnt really work that way. Daughter you sure . Vo are you asking enough questions about the way your wealth is managed . Wealth management at charles schwab. Ii like to think of myself as more of a control. Enthusiast. Mmm, a perfect 177degrees. And thats why this road warrior rents from national. I can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. And i dont have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. And i dont. And national lets me choose any car in the aisle. Control. Its so, whats the word . Sexy. Go national. Go like a pro. Schieffer well turn now to the intense negotiations happening in vienna where sect of state john kerry and other world powers are negotiating with the government of iran over that countrys Nuclear Weapons program. So far little prog now both sides are expecting there to be no deal. Margaret brennan joins us now from vienna. Well, bob, the u. S. And other world powers are making what they think is generous offer to iran which is gradually lift sanctions if that country agrees to further slow nuclear program. But iran is rejecting that at least so far. They want an immediate suspension of all sanctions which badly damage their economy and they havent agreed to completely give up all of the components that could be used to build a weapon. Secretary kerry and irans top negotiator met again today they have until midnight tomorrow to find some common ground. Schieffer what happens if theres no deal by tomorrow . The most likely outcome is extension of the current agreement which was reached last november and temporarily freezes Irans Nuclear program for some sanction relief. That would let negotiators keep on talking, but its hardly a victory. Iranian hardliners are likely to say that talking is a waste of time and president obama can really wanted this as major Foreign Policy win going to face increased pressure from the newly Republican Led Congress and mid east allies like israel and saudi arabia. Schieffer thank you, margaret. Let us know if that changes. Well be back in a minute with personal thoughts. When change is in the air you see things in a whole new way. Its in this spirit that ing u. S. Is becoming a new kind of company. One that helps you think differently about whats ahead, and whats possible when you get things organized. Ing u. S. Is now voya. Changing the way you think of retirement. Its about getting to the finish line. In life, its how you get there that matters most. Like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. So he talked to me about xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. For a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. Ask your doctor about xarelto® today. Schieffer several weeks ago i noted that the election costnerly 4 billion. I posed the question, what did you the voter and the citizen get for that. My answer was, not much. Well, ive done a little more digging now i can answer another question, what did the politicians get . Well, it turns out same answer. Not much. For all the effort by all those experts who charged the candidates these astronomical sums for all these halfbaked schemes to get out to vote, for all the commercials cranked out by the strategists who take a percentage of the money spent on tv commercials, for all of that voter turn out may have been the lowest since world war ii. Only 37 of the eligible voters thought what happened on election day was important enough to vote. That at a time when every poll shows a majority of americans believe the country is on the wrong track. Republican turn out was low but not as low as the democrats. So they can legitimately call it a wave. I take away nothing from their win. But my sense is most americans just felt wave of disgust with the entire process. Only good news was learning the politicians got no more bang for their buck than the rest of us. Back in a minute. Get to the terminal across town. Are all the green lights you . No. Its called grid iq. The 4 51 is leaving at 4 51. They cut the power. Itll fix itself. Powers back on. Quick thinking traffic lights and self correcting power grids make the world predictable. Thrillingly predictable. Its time to get to work are finally over, fixing our longterm National Debt to help build a stronger economy. With a solid fiscal foundation, we can create more jobs, invest more in innovation and infrastructure, and make america more competitive, giving our kids a better future. A bipartisan solution to our longterm debt means more growth today, more opportunity tomorrow. And the time to start is now. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Everybody knows that. Well, did you know genies can be really literal . No. What is your wish . No. Ok. A million bucks oh no. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Schieffer some of our stations are leaving us now for most of you well be back with more face the nation be talking more about the president s Immigration Reform actions with two members of the house, republican Raul Labrador and luis gutierrez.
