I dont know a more spiritual moment. Music to your ears, right . Yes, in times of my life. On cbs this morning. A little brother watching his older sister in a wrestling match takes matters into his own hand. That is krut. He actually has to get carted off the mat while the crowd is laughing and announcer this mornings eye opener presents by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. That picture right there is why i always wanted a brother of any kind. I just think thats so sweet. Its always great when your brother or sister is always there for you. When my son used to wrestle, you want to go to that. You want to stop them from getting their face smashed in the mat. Exactly that. Im gayle king with Norah Odonnell and John Dickerson of face the nation. It was an earthquake, you could say. The state of alabama surprised the world by electing a democratic senator. Doug jones narrowly defeated roy moore in yesterdays special election. Now, the republican candidate he was accused of pursuing teenage girls while he was in his 30s. Down jones won by about 20,000 votes. In his victory speech, jones said his win sends a message to the world. Manuel bojorquez is in birmingham, alabama, where the democrats celebrated late last night. Good morning. Good morning. President trump tweeted last night, congratulating doug jones in a, quote, hardfought victory. A win by jones seemed highly unlike unlikely, and the president would know. He won alabama last year by nearly 30 points. Ive got to tell you, i think ive been waiting all my life, and now i dont know what the hell to say. Even down jones was surprised by his win. We have shown the country the way that we can be unified. Jones opponent republican roy moore blamed his defeat on allegations of Sexual Misconduct that plagued his campaign for weeks. Part of the problem with this campaign is weve been painted in an unfavorable and unfaithful light. He declined to concede, demanding that a recount is possible. We have to wait on god. More than half said the allegations against moore were true and jones found strong support among africanamericans, women, and younger voters. Turnout was up over expectations, but republicans seemed to stay home. It was reliably red in republican counties. Alo steve strategist steve bannon who championed moore as part of his war on washington. Ill tell you, i didnt vote for him. Some blamed alabama Richard Shelby for moores defeat, including supporters we spoke with last night. These good people here supported shelby for 25 years and kept him as a senator and he turns on them in the last minute. The writein campaigns may be one of the factors that cost moore the election. Nearly 2 of votes were writeins, which covered doug jones margin of victory. As for the recount, moore is hoping for Alabama State calls for one, but only if the margin of victory is less than one half of 0. 5 . Jones won by three times that. Wow. Thank you very much. Doug jones victory was a set back for President Trump. The president tweeted morning. I said roy moore will not be able to win the general election. I was right. A new razor thin gop majority in the stat, 5149, will make it even harder for congress to pass mr. Trumps agenda next year. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with reaction to this historic vote. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. Most importantly that win is going to put pressure on the seat. The fingerpointing has already begun. Listen to this. Senate leader Mitch Mcconnells super pac released a statement overnight saying not only did steve bannon cost us a Critical Senate seat in one of the most republican states in the country, but he also dragged the president of the United States into his fiasco. Theyre going have a harder time building a border wall because theyll now only be abl votes and that means many like senator bob corker and john mccain and Susan Collins are waking up with more clout. There is some relief from republicans that they wont be get i getting caught be moores baggage. Those already frustrated that the senate cant seem to pass the president s priorities are about to get even more frustrated. Yep. That is the other part of this story. Thank you. Dan senor has been in touch with Republican Congress since last nights gop loss. Good morning, dan zbhood morning. I stayed up. You and me both. Sort it out for us. How big is this . Most in relieved. Im not going to quote people specifically, but they are relieved. They recognize theyre heading into a tough year in 2018. The house in particular is up for grabs and the last thing they want is democrats to tell everyone on the ballot, you own roy moore. In that sense roy moore not getting elected is a big win. That said, its wakeup call. If you look at the exit polls, voters who turned out in yesterdays election, their view of trump is way down. Trumps Approval Rating among those who turned out, 48 . This is one of the most republican states in the country. Democrats have outperformed in georgia, south carolina, montana, and virginia. Conventional republican ed gillespie lost by nine points. Theyre recruiting candidates for a lot. Yesterdays reminder that the republicans are going to have a tough time in 2018. I have never seen a win where a democrat won and so many republicans cheered for him. What does this mean for steve bannon . Its a setback. First of all, the idea that bannon can sort of select the slate of candidates, they have the bannon backing and thats all its going to take, that myth has been punctured. For the president its a reminder he is a unique political animal, you know what i mean . The idea that people can become mini trumps, ill be like trumps and win, it doesnt work. It doesnt necessarily transfer and he doesnt necessarily have coattails. But you say its a wakeup call. Is it a wakeup call to President Trump because hes going to be on the ballot in 2018 or is it a wakeup call to the Establishment Republicans . I think its both. Thats why i think ye tax reform bill passed. They just need to show theyre getting stuff done. Republicans want people to say we are actually legislating. Were governing, sort of with or without trumps craziness. I think its a massive wakeup call. Everyone is saying his Approval Ratings are low, its low. Hes governing the base of his party. Theyre still tweeting this morning, i was right. I knew he couldnt win. One of the reasons doug jones won was the womens vote. You see a roared number of women running for congress, and now you have a Record Number of senators and legislative women calling for donald trump to resign based on this issue after he essentially in senator warrens worlds slut shamed senator Kerstin Gillibrand. Where is the Republican Party on that . Look. I think the republicans have a lot of fem recruited. A lot of people in congress. Marsha blackburn is running for bob corkers seat. Im not worried about women running. In 2016 when republicans thought that hillary sorry, when democrats thought trump would be such a drag on the ticket, they missed the moment and didnt recruit enough highquality candidates of either gender, so there wasnt an opportunity. They missed the filing deadline. That is not the case. Democrats have recruited 249 candidates to run for congress. Those numbers are massive. Weve got to go. Well talk about those in the future. Thanks, dan. It will be interesting with do roy moore riding in on a horse calling on god. It was an image. It was an image. Ahead, well talk with former Vice President joe biden and his thoughts on the democratic race. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Cbs news has attained politically charged messages that got an fbi agent thrown out of robert mullellemuellers pro. They call the message terrifying and not good. Paula reid is at the Justice Department where the text raised issues of political bias. Paula, good morning. Reporter good morning. These texts were uncovered by the office of attorney general which is reviewing the clinton email i 2016 to december 2017. They used their phones to criticize trump. God, trump is a loathe . Human page reported in 2017. Peter strzok responded. After that primary debate, page said, this man cannot be president. Ill tell you at the time. Ill keep you in suspense. Reporter as he watched the final debate, peter strzok said to page, hes an idiot. Page said, good god. Page lefted when her assig strzok was removed. Before that, he led the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a private email service. Some on capitol hill are now questioning whether the investigation in to clinton was impartial. It cant just be some Text Messages. Last week fbi director wray offering this. Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein will testify before the House Judiciary Committee this morning. Hes now, of course, the top man as the others have recused themselves from both investigations. The office declines to comment on the Text Messages. Norah . Thank you so the white house is pushing back claims that the president is sexist. Trump claimed gillibrand came to him in the past begging for Campaign Contributions and tweeted, quote, she would do anything for them. Gillibrand said the tweet is a sexist smear. Its not going to silence me. Its intended to silence me. Its not going to silence the women who stood up against him yesterday. The house denied requests for more than 100 democrats to investigate the Sexual Misconduct allegations against the president. The widow of a man killed by an Arizona Police officer is speaking out after the officer was found not guilty by a jury last week. This video is very disturbing. It shows dan shave in the we spoke with the widow in an interview youll only see on cbs news. He new his life was about to end. He was scared. The only person scared in the hallway was daniel shaver. Reporter officer Philip Brailsford found dan shaver intoxicated, waving a rifle from a hotel window. Crawl toward me. Crawl toward me. That was an execution. You had a man begging for his life, and he was shot five times for what. Reporter brailsford who was later testified he believed shaver was reaching for a gun in his waistband. What do you make of the fact split second to decide what to do when he thought he was pulling a gun . I understand that officers have hard jobs and i think this goes back to Mesa Police Department training. Reporter police found no gun on him but they found two pellet guns used for pests inside his hotel room. Reporter they have two daughters. On monday she received a call from her 8yearolds school. She tried choking herself while she was at school and told her friend that she wanted to die. What did natalie say to you when you saw her . She told me that she wanted to be with her dad. Reporter for cbs this morning, im adriana diaz. Sweet says that her fight for justice is not over. She believed that crucial evidence was left out of the trial and she wanted the department of justice to investigate her husbands death. It seems like there are so many other options, take off your shirt, wait there till we get to you. It seems there are other ways. I agree with you. Ahead, how the Program Helps nearly 9 million children and one mothers desperate our cbs news investigation into Sexual Assaults at the air new calls for action. Head, well hear from Kirsten Gillibrand and hear from a Top Air Force officer who says victims are not believed. Youre watching cbs this morning. This this this this is my body of proof.

Ahead, three things you should know this morning welcome back to cbs this morning. Here are three things we think you should know this morning. Alabama elected a democrat to the u. S. Senate for the first time in more than 25 years. Doug jones pulled off a narrow victory yesterday against republican roy moore who faced allegations of Sexual Misconduct. The contest divided along racial lines, moore supported by mostly white voters. Nearly all black voters backed jones. Strong voters and independents helped jones win. Secretary tillerson said the u. S. Is expected to talk with north korea. Give up their nuclear arms. This comes two weeks after they tested missiles that could strike the entire u. S. Mainland. And the library of congress is adding titaningic, the go goony, field of dreams to the list. Dumbo is also selected. They choose the movies based on their cultural and historic or artistic significance. Its prompting calls for dramatic reform. In an investigation only on cbs this morning, the cadets told us they were retaliated against by peers and military leadership for reporting Sexual Assaults. New York Democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand is calling for Senate Hearings and an departments Inspector General off watching reports. She talked with us yesterday. I think there needs to be an i. G. Gs, a thorough investigation why justice was not done in this case, and thats not good enough. The performance is not good enough. Theyre not holding perpetrators accountable. Reporter she was a commissioned officer from the elite United States air force academy. I was sexually assaulted my freshman year and the Sexual Harassment eventually made me leave. What happened to that cadet . He graduated. What happened to you . I left. Theres no understanding among commanders about the Sexual Assault. Was terrified of reporting because i heard of things that happened to people and it did happen to me. So its not horror stories. Its slut blaming. Do you regret reporting it . Every day. Ten of those years she worked as the United States air force academy top official on Sexual Assault and response. I would have to say absolutely not, no. I think deep down they really dont believe that Sexual Assaults are happening. I think theyre minimizing the severity of them. The academys new superintendent jay silveria reported to our broadcast to respond. Do you think there are problems there . I dont think there are problems, and let mel tell you why. Across campuses there is underreporting. I want reporting to go up so i can provide the care, provide the support. With sus christensen. Colonel christensen, good morning. Good morning, norah. You heard the superintendent say here he does not think the academy has a problem. Yeah. That was stunning. Air forces own numbers show the last ak em dik year 11. 2 of all women cadets were sexually assaulted. 47 were sexually harassed. Yes, they have a Sexual Assault problem, Sexual Harassment problem. What is its the superintendent of the air force academy should be doing . Hes the only person on that installation who has the authority to prosecute people. He made it sound like Teresa Beasley is the problem. Her job is to provide support to survivors. Her job was not to prosecute. Her job was not to stop retaliation. That is the generals job. How d ahead, norah. We spoke with senator Kirsten Gillibrand yesterday. She called what the general said was pathetic, she said it was embarrassing. She said not once did he say they received justice because they havent. She said theres been no accountability. The senator is absolutely right. As the general talked about, all he talked about was support. He never talked about holding offenders accountable, and that is a huge fail yore. You have to do more. Supports great, but when you have people out there being hurt, you need to make sure somebody is holding those who hurt them accountable. How did it strike you when he said he would like to see the number of reporting incidents go up . Did that make sense to you . It makes sense to the degree you cant address Sexual Assault if you dont know about it. The reality is when women come forward, theyre putting their career in peril and the investigation showed 11 women were forced out o last year. And so its a career ender. And what does that do . What that does is denies this country, women like norah talked to who want to serve. Look. This is a retention issue, recruiting issue. This is ability for america to bring the fight to the enemy. We have to have women you heard women say in the report you heard women coming forward and you say you have some cases but the women say they have regrets about coming forward too. Why . Absolutely. We have five ka deads come to protect our defenders in the last six weeks asking for help. Every one of them is saying their career has been put into jeopardy because they came forward. What happens after they come forward, too often the kmaernlds start looking for any minor discrepancy to pull them out of the academy. Compare the academy to the problem that happens at other colleges as well . Well, the numbe compare because you have dozens of colleges. The difference is its a very isolated institution. You know, the men and women just cant leave. They have to have permission to leave the campus. Their entire life revolves around that campus. So if youre being retaliated against, whether its social or professional, that impacts you every minute of that day. Also because if you go to an academy, a service academy, you then owe the military time afterward to pay for that tuition. Absolutely. And the women who are being forced out are now being told theyre going to have to pay up to a quarter Million Dollars back to the government for th r education. Were you angry with what you saw yesterday . Absolutely. He said ive got this, im going to take it seriously, he had the opportunity to say its unacceptable and he failed to do that. All right. You very much for coming in ten. Lawmakers cannot agree on how to fund the Childrens Health insurance program, and its money could run out in some states in a few months ahead.

Ahead how the alabama cincinnati race will upset the president s agenda. The vote and his memoir. But first heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Traditionally the republicans of the state of alabama surprised the world by electing the a democratic senator. He won last year by nearly 30 points. Losing that seat is going to put mor to pass the tax cut before their majority shrinks. Sort it out for us. How big is this . Well, most Republican Leaders are relieved. Im not going to quote but they ee relieved. That said, it is a wakeup call. These texts were uncovered by the office of attorney general. The president said Kerstin Gillibrand came to him begging for Campaign Contributions and she would do anything for it. Do you have multi or plain . You coordinate your lights and your bulbs . Absolutely, sir. They have medicine. If you do not understand the symmetrical design, get off my show. Im Norah Odonnell with gayle king and john dickedicker. The big story today, doug jones upset republican roy moore last night by about 20,000 votes. This will give the gop only a twoseat majority in the senate when jones arrives next month. The Moore Campaign says he fiercely denied the claims. He said there may be a recount. It shows alabamas dignity and respect for others. This campaign has been about common courtesy and decency and making sure everyone in this state regardless of which zip code you live in is going to get a fair shake. This morning President Trump tweeted, election. I was right. Major garrett is at the white house with the impact of this race on the president. Major, good morning. Good morning. Our ir rrepressible president claims even in defeat he was right all along. The simple truth is the president is now a twotime loser in alabama, one of the most protrump states in the country. Remember the president backed a pointed senator Luther Strange in the primary. Now the plan for tax cuts is deeply damaged. Driving his appeal deep into southern Alabama Media markets to drive up moores turnout. It didnt week. Gop turnout declined while democratic turnout surged defying the president and his former chief strategist steve bannon who backed the plachb and this morning on the radio bannon credited it for driving up the turnout. Several told us moores defeat will galvanize them on the tax plan. They have to act quickly before they lose one in the senate. The senate will lunch with key tax negotiate ears in the white house here today. One other verdict has been rendered. One top trump adviser told me this white house has the worst political operation in two generations, republican or democrat. Gayle . All right, major. You put it in perspective as always. Thank you very much. The terrorist accused of the bombing in new york will make an appearance from the hospital today. His name is he said he was inspired by isis online. They say they need to do a better job at restricting the inflammatory content. Its not that difficult to identify this content. Theres technology to do it. They use it on child pornography. Before the attack ullah taunted President Trump in a facebook post. The government is sounding an alarm. The pace of sea ice decline and surface oelgs warming is unprecedent in the last 1,500 years. Scientists estimate that over the last 15 years, the Greenland Ice sheet lost up to 270 billion tons of mass each year. That contributes to rising sea levels.

Former Vice President joe biden spoke with us for 60 minutes about not running for president after the loss of his son beau. What was the most important thing in decides not to run . I said from the beginning i dont know if dealing with the loss of beau could reach a point or we could do that before time ran out and there was nothing we could control.

In his new book promise me dad a year of hope, hardship, and purpose biden focuses on the challenging time. Former Vice President joe biden is in stu good to be back. I wanted to ask you about the big political news. Down jones winning in alabama. What mench does that send . It sends a message that not only did they reject Luther Strange and his attitude toward women. Roy moore, yeah. Excuse me. Roy moore. He talked about the issues he cares about. Ive known doug jones since law school. He campaigned for me. Have you talked to him since the victory . Yes, i have. I talked to him three times yesterday. What did he say . He was so giddy. Hes over the moochblt hes really anxious to get to work. Last night he talked about Childrens Health care. With all the excitement he didnt go after moore. He talked about Childrens Health care. This is a guy who was a serious, serious guy, a prosecutor, a man of great integrity. He said something i thought was interesting. What that we can be united in this country. Do you think it will send the message to the rest of the country, both democrats and republicans . I think it is. I think some of the most happen yes, sir people there are the republicans in the senate. No. I genuinely mean it. Explain what you mean by that. What i mean by that, the divisiveness that was caused when the Republican Party by bannon and all the sort of bile that comes out of the administration is just i know the majority of the members on the republican side. Theyre decent people. Theory not comfortable in this territory. Did you give him advice in one of these three phone calls . Well, i gave him advice early on because hed keep calling me. Look. Hes been a he was a young man when he started working for me. Ive been so damn prout of him, the way he prosecuted those cases that were 50 years old. Hes really a s and he didnt need it focus on the issues why you want to be the United States senator. What youre going to do fur alabamians. If you notice, the bulk of that is what he did. Last night instead of taking a victory lap like most democrats wanted him to do, like this is a big loss for the President Trump, which it is, he brought them together. The kid god, the kid. Know. We staid friends. I was friends with howell heflin. So yeah. It was you know, hes a great hes a serious, serious guy. You used to tell us the story when you were a kid and entered the snort and senator mansfield said look around here. Somebody sent them here and to find the good. That in necessary in politics . Absolutely. Its the way. Because of gerrymandering and overspending on campaigns, weve gotten to the point where we dont know each other. When you know somebodys had Prostate Cancer or you have a child with a drug problem, its not one you start off dysliking them. You actually have a connection. These guys dont real quick story. Any time wed be in trouble as the administration, id gogo up to the senate. Id go up to the dining room. Its gone. There are no tables anymore. There is no place to sit and eat. Its a metaphor for how didnt things are. Do you see anything in the Trump Administration white house to say theyre doing good on x, y, z . I think theyre doing a goo i think theyre on the cusp of doing things. But i wish the president would be president and stop being so consumed with himself and his image. I mean its theres so much at i guess the thing that bothers me the most, gayle, is that america has always led by the example not of his power but the power of his examplexample. And were decimates that. Ive had more heads of state asking me to explain what is this about. I dont know. I think there are a number of things we can work on together. And even when theres disagreement on the tax bill, theres no need to be so personal. Did you happen to read the New York Times piece about how it spends its time . If thats true, its sad. That someone would view everything in show and say that. Its hard to believe to me that he says that. But the idea this is not about donald trump. Its about america. Its just ive never seen anything quite like this. You write about so many things in this book, including your son beau. And you also talk about teach ur your granddaughter in the face of wrongdoing that, quote, silence is complicity. Thats right it is. We now have 100 democrats calling on investigators to investigate President Trumps alleged Sexual Misconduct. Do you think there should be an investigation. Yes. These Women Deserve to be heard. I had a decision struck down by the conservative court. It provided a woman to have a civil cause of action if she was abusd. So she didnt have to count on case. It was struck doubt. Imagine if there were still a civil cause of action that existed that would allow women to have a civil rights cause of action to go into court and say this is what this man, president or not, did to me. And when he tweeted that gillibrand would do anything, how did you take that . Its disgusting. I never thought id say that about a president. The children are listening. They really are. David brooks has written a lot of good stuff, by the way. Yes, he has. New york times. New york times, yes. He talks about the visible walls that hold up society and you can sew it toekts or shredding it. These guys are shed shh red order to make room to abuse power. Its so unique well, i should. I want to talk about your character, you and barack obama, the friendship and relationship you had. It was very evident while you were in the white house and im wondering if it still continues today. Im struck by the words he said to you. How do you want to spend the rest of your life. Your friendship continues today . It does. We talk to each other a lot and see each other. I kid him and say i dont know how you have so much time to play golf, you know, because he always seems to play golf. But it does continue and the thing im proudest of in the eight years i mean this is a man ive served with eight president s and i got to know four of them very well. Ive never met any president that has more character, more integrity, and more backbone than this guy does. Him. Eight years, not a hint, not a hint, a scandal. 2020s coming. How you will be serving your time . I saw you at the sandy hook promise. I heard, joe, we miss you, joe, we want you to run. What do you say to that . My dad used to say dont compare me to the almighty. Compare me to the alternative. Are you thinking about it . Im not doing anything about it. My word is it. If i got the job, id say to the lord almighty, no. Theres some really good talent running up. Im not saying i would run. Im giving my word im doing nothing to putz myself in a position to do that. But im not going to be involv the break to talk about the book a little more . Sure. You do have time . I have time. Vice President Joe Biden says hell stick around. Youre watching cbs this morning.

Were back with former Vice President joe biden. His new book is promise me dad a year of hope, hardship, and purple. So mr. Vice president , when i read this book, whats at the heart of it . Whats at the center of it . Two things. One, i wanted people to know what an incredible young man my son was, and i also wanted people a lot of people have gone through it. Ive gone through it without any of the help i had. I didnt want it to be about grief alone. I wanted to let people know you can find hope and purpose and i really mean that. You know, a phrase, you know, theres three things to happiness, something to do, someone to love, and something about trying to take what beau what i think, my family thinks beau would be doing were he still here and doing it. And it gives you it gives you purpose. It gives you a sense of and still, you know, being with you. But you tell a very beautiful story in the book, mr. Vice president , about the death the murder of Police Officers in new york city and you were talking to the widow of one of the Police Officers and you said, take a calendar, and on that day of the death, mark what tell the story . When i lost my wife and daughter when they were killed right after i got elected. A tractor trailer hit them. People would come up and say, i know how you feel. After a while you want to say its awful. You want to say, you have no idea how i feel. I met the governor of new jersey. He told me he knew what i felt. He said, know what youre thinking. He told me going home for lunch and suffered an aneurysm. He said, ill give you a piece of advice. The down days will be as bad as the moment you heard the truth. But heres what you do. Every day you mark the day you had. 1, the day you hard the news, 10, the best day you had. He said dont look at it for six months. He said put it in a graph. Youll see the down days are further and further apart. How did that help . It helps that i am making progress and i am able to do something. There ar its amazing what people said. I keep a calendar, i keep a calendar. And the family of the nypd officer who had been assassinated, you gave them your personal cell phone. Sure. I mean, look. When youve been the recipient of so much generosity and empathy, its so easy, makes you it gives you a purpose to give back to people, and so i went out to see i you may remember, it was the middle of that the potential riots because of africanamerican had been killed on the street by the Police Officers and then he was acquitted and they were acqu acquitted an i was asked to come when those two Police Officers were assassinated. I guess it was 25,000 cops showed up, i cant remember, but a lot of cops because i have a great relationship with the cops and an overwhelming relationship with the africanamericans and they asked me to speak. Then i went out to mr. Lus sons house. His son had just got married. They lived in the house. They didnt have the funeral because they were waiting for the chinese relatives to come. Mr. Lu was a diminutive man. St hugged me. Here i am eight months later, my son died, and there were eight hours of people who died, eight hours who viewed the caskecaske. I stand up and look and see mr. Lu standing there, and all he did was walk up and just hug me. Hugged you. And he was giving me comfort. And he didnt even speak english. No. He spoke canton es southeast. He didnt have to speak. As proud as you are, your son would right youre all right, youre all right. Are you all right . No. Everybody speaks so glowingly, they say youre sitting down across from a young boy. Whats the one thing he needs to know . I think the one thing you need to know is you have to you have to be just straightforward and honest. You have to it Building Block for everything that happens in your life. I mean it really truly is. Its the Building Block for everything. And my dad had an expression. Hed say everyone and he meant it. Every Single Person is entitled to be treated with dignity, no matter what. My father would never walk by a shoeshine guy or ceo, seriously. I point out, you know you were asking me, gayle, about the book where on nantucket island, secret service, im in one car. And we had people who were volunteered to be driving us. Ethan, my son, my grandson are in the car and the secret service goes left, they go straight. And my grandson whos then five years old says, driver, driver, my son says pull over the car. He got in the back. He said, hunter, nobody is addressed by what they do. This is ethan. Nobody do you understand me . Nobodys a driver. Thats the way we were raised. Its amazing people respond also when you treat them with dignity. When you look at this administration and how its being run on a daily basis, whats your biggest concern . My biggest concern is Foreign Policy. My biggest concern is two pieces of that. I think the president understandably because its devoid of any knowledge and Foreign Policy, but he seems not to be a student of the detail. And then you have a guy whos really a bright guy, but hes whos the secretary of state, but theyre decimating the state department. Can you imagine were in a situation in east asia, and we dont have a secretary of state . Can you imagine . I mean and as a friend of mine who was the number two guy at the state department said, you can go floor and holler and hear an echo at the state department. This is the time to engage and have more diplomacy. So the secretary of state Rex Tillerson made some news. He said the u. S. Should negotiate with north korea without preconditions. Yes. Do you think thats right . Yes. I think you have to talk. You have to talk. Heres the deal. There are two things the president and i talked to the Trump Administration about in the ijt rim period. One was health care and the other was korea. Theyre an intractable problem. Every president has not had the answer yet. But the one thing everybody knows, you have to have china, japan, and south korea on the same pang. Here the president was referring to the president of south korea as an appeaser and taking on. I just you share the view north korea should in no way get access to weapon or is containment a possibility . I think based upon this conversation, the next president could be left with a policy of containment. The reality i think is the likelihood of being able to put together this rubiks cube which is difficult to do but likely but not possible with this administration, i think the end result is going to be a policy of containment and try to move from there. The next president , i predict, will inherit that circumstances. The worry now is their submarine capability and whether or not they get the capability to have a sea launch to launch a submarine missile. We need to double down on what were doing with china and with the rest of the world to even tighten the sanctions further. A good job at the u. N. I think unfortunately the secretary of state constantly gets undercut by the president. He goes off to negotiate and the president says nothing is going to happen there. I mean what a helluva way to handle the department. You said something interesting. You havent ruled it out but youre certainly not thinking about running for president. But you said id like to see whos up and coming. I think theres a lot of talented people out there. Do you care to name any names . I believe youll leave names out. You had Kirsten Gillibrand, senators from new jersey. There are a whole lot of really talented people, but we need somebody whos going to be really up to speed and be totally confident in the area of Foreign Policy and someone who is going to be and i think theyre not able do this or reach out across the aisle. You cant run this democracy without you cant do it. Its not possible. Well, mr. Vice president , joe biden, thank you so much for joining us and for this conversation. We appreciate it. Thank you for talking about my boy. I know, i know. Your book promise me dad is on sale now. Its a terrific book. Thank you. James dyson is an entrepreneur and innovator who likes to bring winds of change to our world. Hes in studio 57 to show for mildtomoderate eczema . It can be used almost everywhere on almost everybody. The face of a fisherman . The hand of a ranch hand . The knee of a needle pointer . Prescription eucrisa is a it blocks overactive pde4 enzymes within your skin. And its steroidfree. Do not use if you are allergic to eucrisa or its ingredients. Allergic reactions may occur at or near the application site. The most common side effect is application site pain. Ask your doctor about eucrisa. Dyson is a company known for its bold designs and unique reinvention of common household projects. They include the worlds first bagless vacuum cleaner, air purifiers, and the supersonic hair dryer. Dyson is also branching into retail. Cbs got a look at the companys First Flagship demo store in new york city. James dyson is the founder and chief on rating officer of dyson. Welcome to cbs this morning 57. If retail is having all kinds of difficulties, why open a store . It is a difficult culture but we want people to put their people need to be able to tell the difference. For example, our Battery Powered vacuum cleaners. You wouldnt believe theyre as powerful, but they are, but people need to see that. Were trying to break conventions. People think batteries are useful and fade. We want people to see that. Theres a very new way of vol e vacuuming. You dont have to have the cord. Whats behind the technology . We started developing a new type of electric meters. Weve made them much more smaller and more efficient. We also developed batteries, but thats not the story. But the motor in our hair dryer is about a quarter of the size of a standard hair dryer and its lightweight. We put it in the handle. Im trying to get you to buy one. We discover its very and you get break throughs, you can find Significant Technology around it. But technology is the most important thing. You do the vacuum cleaners, fans, open a store, and theres a rumor that youre getting into the car business. . I hate diesel pollution. Governments are going around saying green is clean and its green, so its a good thing. And the people who use these didnt want to face it because theres the problem of disposing of the dust. So uve had a burning desire. Petro engines send out nasty stuff. Youre creating engineering schools to create more people like you. How did that come about . Theres a tremendous shortage of engineers. You need five times the i went and saw Boris Johnsons brother. He said, well start our own university. It took me about three seconds to say yes. Hes created a new act to allow people like me to start universities. It will be within the company, theyll work in the company, work on new inventions and take it to production. Theyll take two days. There are no student holidays. Four years. I pay for their education. I pay them a salary. Theyve got a job. And at the end of it theyve got a job. If they want to leave, they can leave. Theres no time. By the way, theyre wonderful. Mine theyre quite sharp, all of our existing engineers with their questioning. Two of them are 17. Its a great sort of influx. Whats at the heart of innovations and creativity. Is it looking at everything and asking questions about it . Actually its n a lot of things dont work very well or theres something you dont like about it. Other people arent bothering to do that. Your brain does work differently. What do you think . You take things apart and try to put them back together. There is a process to how you work. Yes, there is and i learned that. But, yes, you look at something and see it isnt working. Why isnt it working. Or you set out. And thats how we got into hair driers, although hair dryers are not very good and theyre heavy and damage your hair. Youll be appearing. Youre doing blowouts at the store. Yes. You want to show how its james dyson, what a pleasure to always have you hear and learn about all of your innovations. Thank you so much. Thank you. Best to you. Youre watching cbs this morning. Well be right back. Because of our extended conversation of Vice President joe biden, we will not bring you the norman lear interview today.

In fact george and amall clooney took a commercial flight to england yesterday and of course they took the 6month old twins with them too right . Now traveling with kids. There could be a meltdown. Lets be honest sometimes traveling with adults theres meltdowns. But anyway, to get ahead of that bus, they gave everyone on the flight noise canceling headphones. Thats sweet . Or what. And then a note apologizing ahead of time. But heres the thing. The kids were great on the flight. You know what do you guys do on a flight . Read, talk to your neighbor .
