One well placed source tells us he could be gone by the end of this week. President trump disavowing these hate groups. He consulted with his chief of staff and his Homeland Security team. Question about an allegation that someone within his department told his men to stand down when things got violent and the chief says that is not true. Varnell planned to use a device similar to the one used in the domestic terror attack here more than 20 years ago. Some thought this might be an opportunity for kim jongun to take some sort of provocative act. Instead he seemed to be signaling hes ready to deescalate this conflict with the u. S.

Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. We are happy to be back. President trump is in new york city this morning for the First Time Since his inauguration. Protesters rallied outside trump tower. They are angry that he waited two days to condemn white supremacist groups that gathered in charlottesville, virginia. The president called out certain groups. Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the kkk, neo nazis, White Supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. But his delayed response is having a much wider impact. Last night the ceos of intel and underarmour announced that they are leaving the president s American Manufacturing council. The head of merck left the council before the president s latest remarks. In the business page headline, board rooms awkward silence. It show fraser saying i feel a responsibility to take a stand against extremism. In charlottesville, a memorial for Heather Heyer continues to grow. The 32yearold was run over and killed saturday while protesting against White Supremacists. Her father told the newspaper today his daughter was passionate about fighting for equality. Im proud of her. Proud of her for standing up. She had more courage than i did. She had a stubborn backbone, if she thought she was right she would stand there and defy you. But if iwanted to do it u know, with a fierceness of heart, you know, that that comes with her conviction. He also says he forgives the man accused of killing his daughter with a car. James fields jr. Is being held without bail. Federal investigators are retracing his movement in the 24 hours before the attack. The dads words so very touching that he can say i forgive the man who killed my daughter. And his testimony to his daughters character and courage. Her fierceness. Really nice. He raised an amazing daughter. The latest poll finds the president s Approval Rating is at a new low. Only 34 of people approve of the job that the president is doing. Meanwhile sources tell cbs news that steve bannon is in serious jeopardy and he could be out of a job by the end of this week. Bannon is blamed for undermining other senior white house staff including National Security advisor h. R. Mcmaster. The president s new chief of staff is trying to restore order in the west wing. Former Communications Director scaramucci talked about the Trump White House with Stephen Colbert last night. Whos leaking now . Is it steve bannon . Well, ive said that. Say it otothese people. Ive been pretty open about this. Is steve bannon a leaker . I said he was. I have no problem saying that. But is he going to be gone in a week . Thats up to the president. What does the mooch think . Well, if it was up to me he would be gone but its not up to me. Bannon has faced controversy before. The president told the New York Post i am my own stat gists.

The New York Times also reporting they have afriendship but that everyoneng rupert has urged the president to get rid of bannon. The area lawman was convicted of criminal contempt for detaining people he merely suspected of being undocumented immigrants. Were outside trump tower where the president is spending the next few days of his working vacation. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, as President Trump tries to quiet one racially fuelled controversy, he is weighing whether to plunge into another one by pardoning a controversial arizona sheriff who was convicted of illegally detaining latinos because he suspected them of being undocumented immigrants. The president appeared to endorse the possibilities of a pardon this morning in a tweet and told fox news that hes seriously considering issuing one within days. Joe arpiao was found guilty two weeks ago of ignoring a judges order to stop racial profiling ng target suspected undocumented immigrants. He has been a mr. Trump and he is scheduled to among the d in october. Far right civil groups have long complained about racial profiling so a pardon here would be well received among some of mr. Trumps base who voted for him on the basis of aggressive immigration enforcement. The white house isnt commenting on this yet. They dont have an official announcement but this would be the first pardon of the trump presidency. All right. Thank you so much.

You walked more a hundred years which makes your bones less strong but also cartilage responds to stress by becoming tougher. When i have somebody come in to see me the first thing we do is get an xray. When the xray starts to show a narrowing between the bones thats a healthy knee and next to it we see that space is narrowed between the bones on the knee on the right. So what happens is their knee gets achy. I talk about controlling the symptoms and working on exercises like squats and lunges and things ive talked about before to build muscle strength which makes their symptoms less. Charlie was showing you his workout routine and you approved. Some people say that its the shoes that you wear. Do you buy into that . Well, i think the shoes may be part of making the symptoms worse. I dont think it has to do with arthritis. Lot to control our symptoms and shoe wear is part of that. So people wearing rubber bottom shoes send to get less arthritic symptoms. But if you get arthritis i think people think oh, no. Its over for me. You know, either i have to do Knee Replacement are you saying you can reverse it . Part of what i tell people is if they get an arthritic knee they think my whole life is over. The reason thats a problem is they become les active, they put on weight, but i want them to be active. I get them on exercise, strerng strengthening h make it feel better.

Im in new orleans, louisiana. Been on the road for nine days. Finally found a restaurant last night i think could be in the top ones. This is the hardest place to eat just because no vegetable goes uncooked. People are definitely looking at me like im a crazy person eating an entire box of pastries. Typical day for me on the road is two breakfasts. People are always like i want to go out to dinner and they come out with me and we have one dinner. We try to hit two lunch and then two dinner. Then im like okay, its time to go to the next dinner. And theyre like, what . Thats when you know that something is really good is if you cant stop eating it after six meals. I am looking for restaurants that have a particular point of view. I think thats what sets our list apart from the many other lists that are now out there. We like to go from ten to number one. When its time to present our list to our editor in chief, we make these big boards where we print this is all julia. This is her influence. She loves school projects. You didnt do this before i got here . These are some of her desserts which are almodern looking. We print out photos of the food and the chef and the space and then we go to his office and we sort of talk him through each of the ten restaurants. And hope that he gives us the green light. Its a really, really small kitchen. We go in there with confidence and trust ourselves that we came up with a list thats diverse in its cuisine, geographically diverse and its restaurants that are representative of whats going on in american restaurants at this moment and if we hit those places i think we have a solid list. All those meals and trips led to their hot ten restaurant list. They range from classic comfort food and stretch from San Francisco to new york. Coming in at number three is mr. Jius in San Francisco. And their number one pick is turkey and the wolf in new orleans. Welcome. Why do you give them number one . Well, its a really weird unexpected choice. I its basically a sandwich shop, stuff that we all grew up with. A chicken sandwich, but just elevated. And i think what we agreed on is we had more fun eating at turkey and the wolf than any other place. It was that restaurant that both of us couldnt get out of our mind. They do this amazing kol lard green melt. Its a vegetarian sandwich and it was the best thing i ate this year. And it was just, you know, it was nostalgic, it was fun. It was escapism for me. I know i wanted to lick the page when i looked at the ones you put in. But it seems like chicago is having a moment, your hometown. Yeah, not just saying that because its my hometown. Youre not biased. No, i think chicago is really emblem attic of the most exciting things going on in food. Just have an amazing range of diverse types of restaurants. Incredible mexican food, korean food, portugese food all coming together with new spins on it. And you described elske. Its a husband and wife. Her desserts are so gorgeous. Visual art but they actually taste amazing. And one from my home state. Just north of raleigh, so next time youve got to go its a matchup. Its a flower shop, its a brewery its a dim place and its a bookstore and what has become for North Carolina and raleigh specifically is kind of a community center. Its run by first immigration immigrants from laos and its just this amazing space where people all different walks of life can come and its as good as any as ive had. You write that people are returning to nostalgia and comfort food. Yeah, so one of the trends that we saw all over was return of dishes like prime rib and ice cream pie and allhi thats what chefs actually want to eat and now theyre saying tweezer food thing anymore. E what is that . You know, all t of like laboring over the little edible flowers and got it. And one example of that comfort food is in philadelphia. Oh, yeah. So thats an amazing place called the social club which is number four on our list. Its an Old School Italian american restaurant. You can get, you know, shells in red sauce but its done by this amazing chef whos putting a little bit of a modern fresh tw ht e a membership to get in. Anybody can buy a membership. You have to get there right when pay 20 bucks, you can eat there any time you want. How do you decide where youre going to go and do the restaurants know youre m cooing ahead of time . The restaurants do not know were coming. I use fake names, i use all kinds of old Baseball Players that nobody will recognize, anything i can think of, and then we divide it up year to year. I went to the pacific northwest, west coast, that was for a reason that well probably get to in a second. Julia did the east coast and we criscrossed. But you get ideas from people that tell you you should go here . Yeah, we spend the whole year researching these restaurants. We look at their instagrams, we talk to friends in those cities. We read the local news to try to figure out which ones are worth going to. And julia was pregnant through this whole thing. Like i said, mad respect, because this is a hard job. I have a food baby. Shes had two babies going on. I love that he has mad respect. Its hard to be pregnant and do all that. The not drinking kept me on task. You didnt drink . No, she didnt. Its a really fun its beautifully written, a fun read so congratulations to both of you. Thank you so much. Were proud of it. To find out more about these top restaurants visit cbs this morning. Com.

It prepares veterans to go back to school. We spent a day with participants outside georgetown university, another of the campuses in the program. Good morning. Reporter well, good morning. You know, georgetown hosted the warrior scholar project earlier this summer. It is a free program that gives veterans kind of the sneak peek at life inside the nations top colleges. You know, they live on campus, they go to the cafeteria, they meet with professors. Its allo translate that military background into a classroom. 08 campus for these highly trained soldiers, sailors and marines now hoping to become elite students. This weeks obviously rough. Reporter their guide for the week is a former army sniper and drill sergeant now drilling a different kind of lesson. We teach three things, thats critical reading, chris cal writing and degreening or adjusting to the culture change. Taking the uniform off. For the past two summers he has been on the front lines of the warrior scholar project helping veterans move from the battlefield to the class room. These men and women are not trained for college, so thats where we come in. Were a boot camp. Reporter i mean, a boot camp. An academic boot camp. Reporter Sid Ellington is a former navy seal and the programs directive. Now theyre a whole lot more confident just like a soldier or a sailor is coming out of boot camp. Reporter as former Navy Corpsman says being a student is different than being in uniform. That was a big chunk of our lives so we lose that part. That sense of being part of something, so we go to school, we become part of something else. Reporter and its completely foreign in a way. In a way, yes. Reporter the government spends 12 billion a year helping veterans pay for college through the gi bill, but currently 40 of that goes to for profit colleges. Post 9 11 veterans barely make up 1 of the elite colleges and universities. He says colleges like his need more veterans on campus. Its like a source of strength in this context. Its not something that you check at the door. Reporter the Program Encourages those to consider Community College with an eye on eventually transferring to a top school after first learning how to be a student again. I think the scariest part is that these people that im now surrounded by has come from school. Ive been out of school for four and a half years and its like starting over. Santos joined the marines right after high school. One key is its taught by veterans. They know exactly how do talk to you and put what youve done before in the service to what you can be doing now.

Buck is working toward medical school where he hopes to become a psychiatrist to help more veterans with the transition home. Its personal to you. Yep. It seems like this program is also personal for you. Yeah, because every one of these vets, you know, i consider them family. Reporter now, with nearly 200,000 Service Members leaving the military every year, schools like georgetown are actively trying to recruit more veterans and with that in mind the warrior scholars project is looking to expand. It is totally funded by private donations. As the president told us when we were up there last week, the ben gets that benefits to colleges is even greater. What a great story. Every day, we hear another story that suggests the appreciation and respect for the american military. Yep. I would agree. Just something as simple as i was a plane and they say wed like to welcome the Veterans First and it makes you proud to say right this way. But that story is another example of how great it is. You can judge a nations value of how they treat their veterans and the most vulnerable. Thank you, jan, for that story. All right. What do you do for fun when hanging out near an iceberg .
