We begin with breaking news. Cbs news has confirmed Communications Director mike dubke is out. This move comes as the role of President Trumps Senior Adviser and soninlaw Jared Kushner is also under crosssuit scrutiny. The fbi is focused on kushner for allegedly trying to establish back Channel Communications with russia. Major garrett is at the white house with more on the story. The mike dubke move has been in the works for a good long while and by itself in no way constitutes a major shakeup of this White House Communications team but more big moves are in the offing and could happen very soon. Here yesterday, trumps First Campaign manager, Cory Lewandowski were here. They met with all west wing senior staff. Both could be brought into this white house or assigned by this white house to create a war room to deal with the ongoing russia investigation stories.

Reporter the president paused after laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Later, he met families and a mother memorializing her son. You take care of yourself. Thank you so much. Reporter the solemnity of the day contrasts with continuing drama inside the white house. Top adviser and soninlaw Jared Kushner is now a focus of the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and transition with russian officials or operatives. Cbs news has confirmed that when kushner meat met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in december, the two discussed setting up a back channel for communications between the Trump Transition Team and russian officials. Administration aides describe that as standard procedure. I dont like it. I just dont. Reporter but republican senator john mccain said whats standard for the trump team isnt. I dont think its standard procedure prior to the inauguration of a president of the United States by someone who is not in an appointed position. Reporter the negative publicity has made kushner vulnerable for the first time and made space for chief strategist steve bannon to regain some influence. But kushners allies argue that President Trump considers the best part of his recently completed foreign trip the three legs that kushner organized. Saudi arabia, israel, and rome. That work, like the 110 billion arms deal with the saudis jared helped negotiate is valued most by mr. Trump. The president told the New York Times about Jared Kushner, he has told confidence in him, adding, he is a very good person. Alex. Major, thanks.

Politician has taken an ugly turn inside the texas State Capitol. The confrontation happened after one lawmaker said he called immigration officials about protesters in the gallery. A member, a republican from dallas, also threatened to shoot a democratic colleague. He claimed it would be selfdefense. The flareup concerns a new state law that effectively bans sanctuary cities in texas. It gives larw enforcement officers the right to question immigration status of anyone they detain. David is outside the State Capitol in austin. David, good morning. Reporter good morning. There were a lot of protesters in the State Capitol and they were loud.

That representative then told his colleagues, i just called federal Immigration Police on those protesters. Thats when things got ugly. Decorum was lost in the texas house monday as elected officials started pushing one another during the final day of the legislative session. I did shove him around a little bit. I pushed him because he needed to get out of there. Reporter the democrat and republican dustup came off he said he called immigration officials to report protesters gathered in the house chamber. He said, yeah, i called i. C. E. And then he said, f them. You say things to incite people and thats exactly what i did. Reporter an estimated 1,000 people were inside the capitol monday, protesting the state law which forces texas sheriffs to help enforce federal immigration law. The house business stopped and protesters were ordered to leave the gallery. Some were physically removed by texas state troopers. These folks understand that what is going to happen in the future is exactly what matt renaldi demonstrated. He saw the crowd and he awe illegals. Reporter House Democrats are not only laying the blame squarely on the representative. Members say he escalated the situation. There was a threat made to put a bullet in one of my colleagues heads. Reporter but on facebook, he said, represent Poncho Nevarez threatened my life on the house floor and representative romero threaten medici threatened me physically. He said he made it clear. Whats not true is that i threatened his life. Reporter lawmakers families were in the chamber to celebrate the final session. What they saw, many say, was an em barsment to the state. There are enough of us here who remember a time in texas when respect and decorum ruled the day. Reporter we reached out to representative renaldi at least seven times but he never got back to us. He says he now fears for his safety and this morning, he is being protected by texas state troopers. A suspect accused of stabbing two men to death and seriously injuring a third on a portland, oregon, train is due in court today. President trump called these attacks unacceptable. He tweeted this. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Maria is outside the Justice Center with how a third bystander helped save the victims life. Reporter this morning, Jeremy Christian is set to be arraigned in court on several charges, including murder but this morning, we are learning more about the lone survivor in this attack and the man who helped him in the situation. Micah came running out, holding the left side of his neck, going, somebody help me, call 911. Reporter marcus was waiting for the train with his family friday afternoon when he suddenly heard people screaming and running for safety. Thats when he spotted 21yearold micah fletcher, one of three Good Samaritans who police say was stabbed by Jeremy Christian while defending two young teens during a racist rant. I wrapped my hand over his to try and keep pressure on his neck and then somebody tossed us a little toddler jacket to put over the wound. Reporter micahs family credits the iraq war veteran with keeping the College Student alive. Hell be with us forever. Hes hes a lifesaver. Reporter micah is now recovering at home. The two other men who stood up against christian died from their injuries. Clearly what happened on that train was an act of terrorism. What happened on that train was a hate crime. Reporter portland mayor ted wheeler says he hopes the tragedy will inspire change. Hes calling on the federal government to revoke the permit for a rally later this week organized by the same altright group that planned the protest where christian went on a hatefilled rant last month. Yes, its protected by the First Amendment of the constitution, but im also asking people to use common sense and have some decency out of respect for the fact that this community is still mourning and were still angry. Reporter the rallys organizer right now says he does not promote hate speech and he is not associated with Jeremy Christian. At this point right now, he is not canceling his event. The aclu was also weighing in on this debate. Their director saying that government censorship is not the answer. Charlie, so far, more than 1 million has been raised online for the victims and their families thanks. Tiger woods is blaming his dui arrest on prescription medicine.

Police in south florida pulled him over early yesterday and took him to jail. Woods is recovering from back surgery last month. Were at Jupiter Police headquarters north of West Palm Beach with the golfers recent struggles. Manuel, good morning. Reporter good morning, and that Statement Released last night, woods also apologized and took full responsibility for his actions. Now, police here are expected to release the arrest report and possibly dash cam video later today. Those items could shed light on woods behavior during the arrest. Disheveled and unshaven, tiger woods mug shot is a sharp departure from his usual carefully crafted public image. The 41yearold golfer, winner of 79 pga tour events was arrested around 3 00 monday morning, not far from a restaurant he owns and his estate. Woods said he cooperated with Jupiter Police. His life has been, you know, chaotic and difficult, i think, for several years. Reporter golf world editor in chief says woods hasnt been the same golfer since he crashed his suv on thanksgiving weekend 2009. Tigers a guy that is in trouble and needs help. Reporter that accident, which happened outside his orlando home, reportedly followed an argument with his wife over his infidelity. They eventually divorced and woods sought treatment for sex addiction. Its hard to admit that i need help. But i do. Reporter woods has not played on the pga tour in four months. Last won a major title in 2008. There will come a point in when, yeah, physically, i wont be able to do it. Reporter in october, woods told charlie rose his health, not his personal struggles, was to blame for his decline. Ive had three back operations and thats taken its toll on me. Not the athlete that you physically no. Torn achilles throughout the time. Blown knee. Torn miniscus so ive gone through a lot. Reporter in april, woods went through a fourth back operation. On his website, he said, i havent felt this good in years. If tiger were to play well again, i think most of the public would sort of overlook what just happened and maybe thats what hes banking on. Reporter even though police took woods into custody around 3 00 a. M. , he wasnt booked into the county jail until around 7 00 a. M. He was released four hours later without bail. Alex . Manuel, thanks. Severe storms hit eastern North Carolina overnight injuring at least 14 people. This morning, a National Weather service crew will survey damage to see if it was caused by a tornado.

Stepped up the tax as u. S. Forces battle for the last areas of mosul under isis control. Charlie is now in erbil, iraq, and joins us. Reporter good morning to you, gayle. What weve seen in the fight for the old city is simply guerilla warfare at its very worst and each day that it goes on becomes more dangerous for those trapped inside. Iraqi security video shows what this battle field has now become, dense urban terrain. Close quarter combat waged through rooftops as troops inch forward, theyre capturing more than ground. They showed us what looked like a sales lot for isis car bombs. Armorplated tractors, suvs reinforced with steel only in the front to protect suicide bombers from being shot dead before reaching their targets. Just one danger facing a u. N. Estimated 200,000 residents effectively held prisoner inside the old city. Leveling whole neighborhoods with u. S. Air strikes and artillery isnt an option. At a front line command center, a general and his men observe a drone camera pinpointing a suspected isis position. Theyre hiding among the residents and preventing them from fleeing, he said. Civilian population is the biggest obstacle slowing down our forces. Iraqi military has urged residents to leave, but militants with booby trap trapped homes and hoped fire. To isis, theyre simply a mass of human shields, far too valuable to give up easily. Normally what we see in mosul is once these neighborhoods are liberated, the residents come rushing out but we havent seen that mass exodus. At this point, there doesnt seem to be any escape. Thanks. British police have released a new photo of the manchester bomber. They are trying to recreate his movements before last weeks attack.

And bryce harper wants a piece of hunter strickland. Here they go. Strickland lands a punch. Bryce harper, the baseball gloves came off yesterday in San Francisco. Bryce harper did not like hunter stricklands 98 miles an hour fast ball, charged the mound and slugged the giants pitcher. The teammates cleared the dugouts. The last time he pitched to harper, he hit two home runs in the playoffs. Both players are likely to be suspended for fighting. Look at that. Just because he thought he was pitching too well. Nobody will defend him for having bad hair, bryce harper. Go, mr. Bryce. Welcome back. No, no, i was just going to say drag it out of him. Now we want to know what it is. No, i cant say. Im not moving on. Were going to have a long silence. One, mississippi, two mississippi. Getting awkward. No. No, i dont. Welcome back to cbs this morning. We are getting new information about how President Trump gets his daily intelligence briefing. You win that time. The Washington Post reports the president is impatient during the classified oval office meetings. The paper says he demands previewty from intelligence officials. Mr. Trump also likes to focus on maps, charts, and pictures as well as what the cia director calls killer graphics. The president interrupts with questions but also with, quote, random asides. Heres a look at some of the mornings other headlines. The boston globe says Robert Mueller emphasized integrity in his graduation speech at a massachusetts high school. If you are not honest, your reputation will suffer and once lost, a good reputation can never, ever be regained. As the saying goes, if you have integrity, nothing else matters, and if you do not integrity, nothing else matters. The Justice Department has appointed mueller as a special counsel. He will oversee the investigation into russian interference in the election and possible collusion with the Trump Campaign. The former fbi director did not mention the president or the investigation. Muellers granddaughter was one of the graduates. The wall street journal reports more homeowners are refinancing their mortgages and pocketing the cash. Freddie mac says nearly half of borrowers who refinance their homes between january and march chose the cashout option. That is the highest level since the financial crisis. Some experts say the refinancing boom represents a healthy confidence in the economy as unemployment drops. A Los Angeles Times says the it was a deadly weekend along the kern river in central california. Three people died and 24 were rescued in multiple incidents. The wet winter is creating powerful rapids on the river. Two of the dead were rafters. Officials fear that the death toll could climb in the summer as more of the snow starts to melt. Newsweek says a tiger killed a zoo keeper in central england. The animal attacked a woman in an enclosure. Officials called it a freak accident. A visitor says they heard a scream and people shouted, run. Some people hid in a zookeepers room until they got the all clear. Longtime skoo director jack hannah calls the attack human failure. When these kinds of things happen the protocol has either been broken or someone made a mistake. Its not the animals mistake at all. I cannot blame anything that happens in the Zoological Department on an animal, basically. They are who they are. I must say, this is human failure at a park when this happens. The tiger has not been put down. Officials say the animal did not escape and never put visitors in danger. Today, for the first time ever, the pentagon will try to shoot down an intercontinental range missile. The move is partly a response to north korea, which has test launched three missiles in the past three weeks. Its official news agency said this morning that dictator kim jong un threatened to send a bigger gift package to the u. S. North korea is not the only new concern for our military. Russia recently opened a military base in the arctic. This puts attention on the pentagons northern most base located in greenland. It was originally built as a buffer during the cold war. Jeff glor recently returned from a special tour of that base. Reporter Thule Air Base is not easy to reach or maintain. But the u. S. Did just complete a significant upgrade for space and Missile Defense there. One of several early Warning Systems being improved worldwide. With developments in north korea and russia coming daily, thule is not just on top of the world, its on top of Many American military minds. On one of the most isolated pieces of land on erarth, a bas with no roads leading in, an island covered more than 80 ice, the air force needs to stay constantly connected to the sky. 900 miles from the north pole and only five hours flying time by jet bomber away from russias industrial heart is the american airfield at thule. Reporter at the height of the cold war, Thule Air Base was a vital part of u. S. Strategy and symbolism. Today, as new chills settle in. As you can see right now, were kind of socked in. Reporter we were invited on base by colonel christopher ebegan who took charge of thule, part of air force Space Command just last year. We have a unique access this far north that the department of defense does not have anywhere else. Reporter in training sessions, airmen learn to surveil the sky, always on alert for the worst case scenario, a missile fired from asia. Heat signals from launches are typically first picked up by satellites in space. But radar on the ground remains essential to track after that. And no u. S. Base sits farther north than thule. It is the Halfway Point between washington and moscow, the location of the 12th space warning squadron. Thules 250 million radar just got a 40 Million Software upgrade. One of six early Warning Systems like this around the world being improved. More than 3500 antennas here can see 3,000 miles into space. Why is this upgrade so significant . Because our Missile Technology has changed, they become more accurate, and with the proliferation were seeing across the globe, theres more interest in being able to actually take some sort of defensive measures against them. With the evolution of time, weve gone away from aircraft to Radar Systems that do Missile Warning and Missile Defense missions. The mission may have changed by the access, the location, remains the same. Reporter thule is now home to only about 200 military personnel. They come for a year at a time. The climate and conditions are considered too harsh beyond that. I got here last june. Reporter michael is the base chaplain. Its an amazing mission. Who else gets to say you went to the top of the world . That said, its an adjustment for a lot of us. Oh, yeah. You dont hear birds right now, for example. Theres no trees. Reporter never mind not saying daylight for four months. I tell you what, that is when people said that not seeing the sun for 100 days was hard, as a chaplain i was thinking, we can get through anything. But it was hard. Reporter those willing to make this trip often cite the brutal beauty of greenland. They are also keenly aware of the mission. Reporter when you see how much more attention folks are paying to the Arctic Circle now, especially from a military perspective, its to put you on edge. The increased interest in the political side of the house is interesting, but weve invested for the last 60 years in the capabilities here. When our most important resources are people and theyre that trained and they want to be here, it makes you rest comfortably at night. Reporter the sun wont set again in thule until august. It wont rise from november until february. It may seem hard to believe, but the vast majority who serve there volunteer, sometimes for multiple tours. A lot of people believe thats going to be a venue for real conflict in the future. The white house is reviewing Missile Defense capabilities now, and so i think theres some who would not be surprised to see more focus on thule at some point in the future. Lot of action up there in the arctic. They normally dont let people in. Was it your charm that got you in . Yeah, right. Shes absolutely right, jeff. It was charm. Its only one american passenger plane we aper week an its mostly a cargo plane, only about 30 people on board. Theres not many people going in and out of there. He was dropped down in a cargo package. Fascinating stuff. Thank you, jeff. Great piece. The fda is expanding the use of an effective cancer drug. Our dr.

Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. Two climbers we followed for more than a year have reached the top of mt. Everest together. Adrian ballinger and Cory Richards attempted the climb last year but only richards was able to finish. After a final push that took nearly 12 hours, they both made it to the summit over the weekend. Everest is, of course, the highest point on earth at an elevation of more than 29,000 feet, and ballinger was able to match a special achievement that his friend recorded in last years climb. Dana jacobson followed them as their shared their journey on snapchat. Good morning. This year, both cory and adrian reached the worlds highest peak, but it was adrian who accomplished their ultimate goal of making it without supplemental oxygen. The grueling summit push took more than 40 hours roundtrip. The highs and lows of it all shared with the world on social media. Here we are. One year later. You did it. Reporter their bodies push theed to the limit, cory and adrian spent less than 15 minutes on top of mt. Everest, taking in a view few others have seen. Ladies and gentlemen, not only is my phone not dead, but that is Adrian Ballinger with no oxygen on the top of the world. Reporter while both climbers made it to the top, only adrian did it without supplemental oxygen. During the final push, High Altitude sickness forced cory to turn back. Theres adrian right there. The summit is just through the clouds. Up above us. Reporter on his way down, cory met a group of climbers who supplied him with supplemental oxygen. The oxygen gave cory the energy to reach the summit first. From there, he cheered on his friend as he made the final push. Hes about 8,995 feet right now. Ive never seen somebody work so hard for anything in my life. My brother, the summit behind. So close. Reporter in 37 days, adrian logged nearly 140 miles while acclimating to the High Altitude. He consumed just under 23,000 calories on a special diet that allowed him to breathe air comprised of less than 8 oxygen. Safely back at advanced base camp, adrian reflected on the experience. I feel super emotional. I cried so hard yesterday on the summit. In the last 10 meters to the summit and in the 20 meters off the summit. I would never will climb everest without oxygen again and i am so proud and happy. Reporter he said corys support in the final minutes of the ascent gave him the energy he needed. It was just so amazing to be up there with cor. We did it together. It was always planned. So a fitting ending. Reporter definitely fitting. Adrian joins cory and a select group of less than 200 others who have scaled mt. Everest without supplemental oxygen. The eddie bauer alpinists are now off the mountain and making their way back to the u. S. And theyll join us here onset to tell us about thier experience early next week. It was such a team effort when i tell you it came down to who was giving the oxygen to cory later, adrian being on the headphones basically saying on the walkie talkie, please, cory, use the oxygen and come and help me. We have lots of oxygen here. Amazing story. You said you never doubted they would make it. I didnt. I was wondering. I just knew that they wanted to achieve what they had not achieved together. Its so great. Cant wait for them to come back. Thanks, dana. Ahead, a scare at a wisconsin parade when frightened show ponies just bolted for the crowd.

President trump is shaking up his white house staff as he considers a new communications strategy. Cbs confirms white house Communications Director Michael Dubke has resigned. His last day has not been determined. The president is also considering changes to his Communications Approach for stories about the russia investigation. He and senior staff met yesterday with former Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski and deputy Campaign Manager david boske. Bosse is being considered for a job inside the white house. Sources say that, though, no decisions about those changes have been made. The shakeup follows new scrutiny for the president s soninlaw and Senior Adviser Jared Kushner. Cbs news confirms kushner discussed setting up back Channel Communications between the Trump Transition Team and moscow when he met with russias u. S. Ambassador in december. President trump says he is confident in kushner. Julianna goldman is at the white house with a look at Jared Kushners role. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Jared kushner only has a few months of government experience but in that time, hes become one of the most powerful people here in the west wing and in the country. But current and former National Security Officials Say that his vast and undefined portfolio in the midst of the fbi investigation is cause for concern. Jared kushner is a constant presence alongside his fatherinlaw, wearing several hats. As a Family Member with the ear of the president of the United States to a policy adviser who led a recent 110 billion arms deal with saudi arabia. If you cant produce peace in the middle east, nobody can. Reporter the president has positioned kushner as a Senior Adviser and tasked him with some of the most sensitive issues he wants to fast track. Kushners portfolio includes trying to secure middle east peace to leading the White House Office of american innovation. His contacts with russia are now making headlines, but hes also been a main point of contact with other foreign officials in mexico, china, and canada. Qualification number one, trump trusts him. Reporter New York Times reporter Sharon Lafraniere says kushner and his fatherinlaw are similar. They value loyalty. Reporter kushner built his business with his own father, a relationship he discussed in a 2014 commencement address. A lot of what im going to speak about today are lessons that i learned from the best professor on how to get the most out of life, which is my dad. Reporter ten years earlier, his father was arrested and later found guilty of tax evasion and witness tampering and now that kushner finds himself embroiled in an fbi investigation, lafraniere says how he approaches those storms depends on who you ask. Reporter if he feels someone has crossed him or treated him unfairly, he will be, friends would say, tough and his critics would say vindictive. Reporter for now, its unclear how the fbi investigation will affect kushners many roles here at the white house. Its undoubtedly a distraction, and charlie, some Top Democrats are now calling for kushners security clearances to be reviewed. Thanks, julianna. The notorious former dictator of panama, Manuel Noriega, died last night. He ruled with an iron fist in the 1980s. He was an american ally until he was accused of Drug Trafficking and money laundering. A United States invasion in 1989 removed him from power. Vladimir duthiers of our streaming network has noriegas complicated relationship with the United States and the law. Reporter former panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega was a fiery voice on the world stage. Known for passionate nationalist speeches and a lavish lifestyle. Born in panama city in 1934 and abandoned by his parents at an early age, he formally took control of his native country in 1983. Noriegas relationship with the United States was complicated. At one point, he was a cia informant, but later the u. S. Accused him of Drug Trafficking and tried to force him from power. In 1988, he told mike wallace on 60 minutes that the accusations were a political ploy. Have you yourself never profited from the shipment of drugs from colombia to panama to the United States. Never. I directed our armed forces to protect the lives of american citizens in panama and to bring general noriega to justice in the United States. Reporter a year later, president george h. W. Bush sent troops to overthrow noriegas regime. He escaped the initial attack but later surrendered to u. S. Soldiers. A new breeze is blowing. The day of the dictator is over. Reporter the dictator went on trial and then to prison. First in the United States on drug charges, and then in france for money laundering. In 2011, he returned to his native panama where he remained behind bars. Manuel noriega died last night at the age of 83. Many march, he fell into Critical Condition after suffering a hemorrhage after surgery to remove a brain tumor. No official cause of death has been given, gayle. Thank you very much, vlad.

An important weapon for fighting aggressive cancers now has new promise for many patients, immunotherapy. Its a treatment that triggers the bodys own Defense System to fight cancerous cells, mutations. T the fda has expanded the uses of immunotherapy, a drug that has treated certain lung cancers and melanoma former president jimmy carter took the drug and reported a few months later that he was cancer free. Dr. David agus, good morning. I remember people being very excited and very encouraged by jimmy carters progress. Tell us exactly how it works. First, tell me how to pronounce it. Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy. And this drug, get a load of this, the drug were talking about with the new fda approval is called pembrolizumab so obviously it rolls off the tongue. Every cancer cell is born with a dont eat me signal on its surface, and the immune system cant recognize it and these drugs block that signal to allow the immune system to be activated and attack the cancer. And its a whole new weapon in our arsenal thats really had tremendous advances. David, it sounds like immunotherapy challenges the idea that cancer should be treated by body part and instead says cancer should be treated by the type of cancer, is that right . Yeah, its so amazing. Last week, for the first time ever, the fda approved a drug not by body part, breast, lung, colon, but by what was molecular defect. In this case, they had a gene that allowed dna to repair itself that was turned off or faulty and there were a lot of dna errors and then the immune system recognized it and attacked it so it was a new advance. In the 1800s in germany, we started to categorize cancer by body part and finally were changing. David, that was a front page story in the Washington Post over the weekend about a 23yearold woman who had colon cancer, a very bad case. Somehow, luckily, she got in touch with a program that was understood way at Johns Hopkins and talked to the geneticist and they said, get over here right away and it was exactly that result. They found out it had to do with a particular tumor, not the location in the body. Are we going to see this kind of thing, as i just told you and what you just talked about jimmy carter, spreading across all cancers . Yeah, its about 4 to 5 of all cancers and this particular woman actually inherited a dna defect from her mother where it had the dna repair genes turned off and so she was very lucky in that the group at hopkins had done remarkable work to identify this as a possible treatment with immunotherapy. How do you know if its a good option for a cancer patient. What should we be asking . Every cancer patient should go to their doctor and say, what are the options and ask, is immunotherapy an option and more and more, its becoming an option. For lung cancers, for obviously colon cancer in this case, for melanoma, for kidney cancers, were learning how to use it better and literally, every few months, were learning a new indication david, you say its not a cure, though. Why is that . Well, it turns off the the immune system turns off the cancer and over time, though, in almost all cases, the cancer comes back. And so, it buys one to two to three years. It does have side effects but it certainly buys time and patients who have no other hope. Dr. David agus, thanks as always. Senator al franken brings a distinctive style to capitol hill and we are lucky to have him in our toyota green room this very morning.

This is the joy for me. I love bread. I love bread. Us too, oprah. Us too. We love bread. We love bread too. In one of her Weight Watchers ads, she speaks for a whole lot of people, but low carb diet trends have led others away from eating bread. This morning, we continue our real food series, looking at ways food is being grown and prepared. In the case of bread, it might make people feel a little less guilty to indulge. John blackstone met a baker whos on a mission to bake delicious bread thats also packed with important nutrients. Reporter at San Franciscos popular tartine bakery, the smell of fresh bread can draw a crowd. As long as im making bread, theres always something new for me to learn. Reporter chad robertson, tartines coowner and chief bread baker is part of a movement to get americans to stop thinking about bread as a guilty pleasure by changing the way its made. What most of this countrys been eating is a really refined, you know, fast processed bread that just it doesnt have much flavor and it doesnt have much nutrition. Reporter to make better bread, he uses something that, for now, is hard to find in america, freshly milled flour that is not stripped of grains vital nutrients. Milling fresh flour is like grinding fresh coffee or fresh spices. Its a stronger flavor and aroma depending on what grains were using, it will give you this very flavorful, really digestible, highly nutritious loaf of bread in the end. Reporter you may be thinking robertson is just another San Francisco foodie pushing another artisanal fad but hes just one of a group of bakers around the country changing the way they make bread and science is on their side. Youll recognize the sort of all purpose flour, your normal sort of pure white flour. Reporter David Killilea is a scientist at Childrens Hospital oakland research institute. So in the white flour that were accustomed to. Theres not much there. Its mostly sugar. Reporter all purpose white flour was developed during st l industrialization to extend shelf life but to make it last months or even years, two main components of the wheat must be discarded, the bran and the germ, and that means losing most of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Looking at the iron, copper, zinc, calcium, it is a really big difference when you go from all purpose to the whole grain, which has much more, sometimes double for zinc, four times the amount of zinc, six to eight times the amount of manganese and all those minerals are essential for health. Reporter the author of the best selling book told cbs this morning that replacing white flour products with whole grains is simply replacing something harmful with something slightly less harmful, and it doesnt mean that whole grains are good for you. Bread has had a pretty Bad Reputation for a while. Yeah. Right now, its definitely looked upon suspiciously, but at least in my opinion, a lot of that has to do with the way that the bread is made. If we could get people eating whole grains, we would do a lot to address the actual missing nutrients in our population. Reporter but getting more whole grains into the american diet means changing the way flour is milled, distributed, and stored. Chad robertson is working on that, encouraging the development of more local small batch flour mills. Coffee is a really good example that i always go back to. 20 years ago, would you think that everybody would be grinding coffee fresh in their house. All over the country, people know what fresh Ground Coffee tastes like and that was a relatively quick transition. Reporter with the opening of his newest San Francisco restaurant, robertson hopes to be part of a similar transition to a day when its not necessary to go to a highend bakery to get bread this good and this good for you. All you have to do is taste it and its pretty easy after that. Reporter for cbs this morning, john blackstone, San Francisco. Let them eat bread. I could tell by the way he cut it, the way it was crunchy and then soft. We know that sound. We love that sound.

Yes, you know, we have a lot more cloud cover out there, still quite cool, i dont expect that our daytime highs will have easy time breaking out of the zero six area here, normal daytime high hit about 78 degrees this time of the year. Yes, it is cool, feels like cooler than average, certainly is you can see hint of activity, more blossoming up, scattered showers here and there to the south. Some that far is going to impact us throughout the course of the day. This is far from a wash out though. I think you can get away without an umbrella with that said, spec the clouds and daytime highs certainly off to cool start. But not really going to rebounds from here all of that efficiently.

Franken was elected to the senate in 2008 by a razor thin margin. His tough questioning and occasional jokes set him apart during trump cabinet hearings this year. 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 didnt have did not have communications with the russians. The proficiency is if theyve reached a, like, third grade level for reading, et cetera. No, im talking abut the debate between proficiency and growth, what your thoughts are on that. I hope you are as much fun on that dais as you were on your couch. Well. May i are rephrase that, sir . Please. Please. Please. Oh my lord. Oh my lord. Well, i think we found our saturday night live sound byte. His new book, al franken, giant of the senate follows his path from saturday night live to congress. Senator, welcome. Thank you. Pleasure to have you here. Thank you all. Great to see you. Lets talk about washington. Oh, yes. Where i am half the time. Tell us where you think the Jared Kushner circumstance is. Well, he didnt disclose a lot of his contacts with mainly, i guess, russians. Against the law or not . I think it is. I mean, youre supposed to in getting his security clearance, youre supposed to list those, and then theres this peculiar one where he is trying to set up a thing within the Russian Communications system so that our own intelligence couldnt be part of it, which is very unusual. Look, we have a special prosecutor. Were going to be looking at this. You know, this this might be come out to when, you know, what did the president know and when did his soninlaw tell him. Should his security clearance be taken away . I think we should look at that. This is a pretty bad breach. Look, they these guys, the administration, theyre not acting like people who have nothing to hide. And so but we have a special prosecutor. We have the intelligence committees in both the house and the senate that are looking at this, and, you know, we have to see where the facts lead us, of course. But we dont know yet. No, we dont know. Senator, health care. Its a hot potato. Its now gone from the house to the senate. Is anything going to happen . I hope so. What we have in the house, well, what came out of the house is just dreadful. Its just awful. I am cochair of the rural health caucus. I go around minnesota all the time. People in rural minnesota, all over minnesota, but man, they are terrified and should be. This is this is unconscionable. 830some billion dollars cut from medicaid when trump said he wouldnt cut medicaid at all to pay for a 900 billion tax cut for people the richest people in the country. Jeopardizing protections for people with preexisting conditions. This is just an awful bill. And i hope we can get in the senate to working in a bipartisan and open way. You think bipartisanship in the senate aint dead . I dont think that the republicans can do this themselves. I dont think they should be doing it by themselves. I think we can work in a i think we should be working in a bipartisan way on this very obviously very, very, very important issue to everybody. You know what i took from this book is how much you really like this job, how hard you work at it. I was very, very touched by that, senator, how much what this job really means to you. But theres also times when you struggle because being funny is in your dna and your staff sometimes has to say, okay, al, lets keep it here in the room. Yeah. The question i wrote this book to answer a question i get asked a lot, which is, is being a United States senator as much fun as working on saturday night live, and the answer is, no. Why would it be . Its your best job. But its the best job ive ever had because you get to do things for people, whether my first bill, two weeks in, i got service dogs for vets from iraq and afghanistan with ptsd. I did that with johnny isakson, a pretty conservative republican from georgia. Getting Mental Health for kids in the new reform of no child left behind. Those things mean stuff. But you also say the gop and democrats can work together. Theres one of your colleagues that said theres an 80 rule. That 80 mike enze. But you said really its 64 that we can work together. He says that in any given piece of legislation, democrats and republicans agree on 80 . And you say its 64 . I say 80 of the time we agree on 80 . So, thats 64 . Its a math joke. Which comes out of the book and gayle was referring to it before you got here. It is that you and Jeff Sessions are friends. Your wife is friends with Jeff Sessions wife. Tell us more about that. Its hard not to like a guy whose wife knit a baby blanket for your first kid. Is that all it takes . Just a baby blanket . Thats all it takes. Ted cruz, knit me a baby blanket for my next one. But that doesnt mean i cant be tough on him. No, i like you played that. I like ted cruz more than most of my other colleagues like ted cruz, and i hate ted cruz. Thats one of the chapters. That chapter is about sort of ted is sort of toxic and this is a workplace with 100 people in it. Its like a small town. And a lot of the stuff ive done, ive done with my republican friends and you may not agree with them all the time, but i wrote a country song with orin hatch, for goodness sake, and then we went on to try to write something about getting principals in schools. It is said that every senator gets up in the morning and sees a future president. When you go and start to shave and look in the mirror, you see a future president . No. No. Would you like to be a future president . No. I see a future fiveterm senator. Five terms . Who is the future president . Who do the democrats have . Isnt that a fun game to play . On national television. And i think many of my colleagues may run, and my goodness, it wouldnt help me very much to single one out, would it . No favoritism there. No, because i want to get things done. Because thats why i like the job. Senator franken wanted to send a note to a constituent that turned 110 and said, dear ruth, you have a Bright Future ahead of you.

Its been nearly 100 years since this countrys first neon sign was imported from france, but Mark Strassmann went to austin to see how a new generation of neon lovers is making america a little brighter again. Reporter it doesnt really advertise the brand. Its getting closer to art than it is to signage. What evan voyles calls doodling in light has lit up the austin skyline. What im known for is south congress. This is where south congress starts. Reporter this is your turf. This is my turf so this is saying, you know, welcome. Reporter the 58yearold designed this fishriding could be for yeti, the popular cooler company. That was the first one i put up on this strip. Reporter on south congress avenue here, his canvas of neon runs for blocks. That was the first outdoor commercial sign i ever built, and when i finished it and we lit it up, i jumped up and down. I was amazed. It looked so great. I couldnt believe i had done it. It was like pulling off a magic trick i didnt know how to do. Reporter since then, his hometown skyline has taken on a growing glow. So, look, this is art, but its art that has a job to do. Its got to get people in the store. Its primary job is to communicate an idea, form an impression in your head that will make you go into the store. If i dont get people in, then i have failed. Reporter as american folk art, neon found its heyday in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. But when cheaper plastic and l. E. D. Signs came along, neon fizzled until recently. People have always loved the american roadside and the attraction of that glowing neon sign in the distance. Reporter neon historian Eric Lynxwiler wrote a book about its glory days. Neon is making a comeback right now. Every neon artist and neon vendor that i know in Southern California is working more now than they have in the past few decades. Reporter throughout the u. S. , new and newly restored neon signs now light up businesses, stadiums, and hotels. Along with Art Galleries and museums. I think that neon is definitely representing a retroamericana that people are embracing but its a technology that people havent seen for a while and theyre falling in love with it yet again. Reporter but the technology has barely changed in over a century. I find it a great irony that in this day and age, i am essentially building something from the age of buggies but to me, its like i am bringing you the past. I am tying you to something you dont even think about. Reporter voyles designed this signs blueprint but bending neon tubes is a special skill. Kirk and Rory Tunningley own big dog neon in lockhart, texas. How long did it take you to figure it out . In weeks i was producing tubes that functioned, but to make goodlooking tubes, probably took a year and a half. Reporter its a feel that comes from experience. The glass tube between the fingers, the slow and steady breath control that keeps the tube from collapsing in on itself as its heated up to 1200 degrees and then bent. The red. Yes. Reporter the pure neon. Pure neon gas, yep. Reporter once the glass takes shape, gas is pumped in. Most signs today are actually filled with argon gas, which is more versatile, but the iconic, vivid red color is all neon. What is the romance of neon . To me, its that line drawing with light and color. And theres no better way to do that yet. I just dont think theyre going to invent it in our lifetime. Reporter voyles has brought this city a new glow with his take on the blurry line between art and commerce. For cbs this morning, Mark Strassmann, austin, texas. I love me some neon.
