you guys can understand that, your dreams won't come true. something greater will. thank you, guys, so much, i love you. mumba out. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to cbs this morning. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and anthony mason. we're happy to say will be with us all week. >> nice to be here. >> new information from a deadly amtrak derailment in washington state shows the train was speeding when it went off the rails. the national transportation safety board says the train was clocked at 80 miles an hour. the speed limit at that section was 30. the crash killed at least three passengers. dozens more were injured. 72 taken to hospitals. >> the train was taking the first ever scheduled trip along a newly built track south of tacoma, washington. it derailed at a bridge over interstate 5 in the town of dupont. david bagnow is there tracking the investigation. >> reporter: the fbi is on the scene here in washington state but there is nothing as of right now to suggest that this is going to turn into a federal criminal investigation. the only glaring red flag we know about this morning is the speed factor. the fact that this train was going 80 when it should have been going 30. it's cold and rainy here now but the work continues. let me give you a close-up view of the scene this morning. you've got two cranes that had been brought in and what they've done within the last few hours is actually take one of the rail cars that was dangling over the freeway and actually level it off, moving it to the other side. ground crews spent all day and night stabilizing the scene where the amtrak passenger plane derailed during morning rush hour. plunging rail cars off of the tracks and on to the freeway below. >> amtrak 501, emergency, we are on the ground. >> reporter: dispatch calls from the engineer capture the terror for the 80 passengers and 6 crew members on board. >> is everybody okay? >> i'm still figuring that out. we got cars everywhere and down on to the highway. >> people screaming, crazy. >> reporter: adrian thomas son says it was his first time on a train in years. >> i just feel a whole bunch of, like, turning and rocking of the train and i just grabbed on to the chair in front of me for dear life. my laptop went flying. phone went flying. >> you start to see the roof kind of peel. you're just, like, is this ever going to stop? when it stopped, it was completely black. >> reporter: the train left seattle headed for portland. this was its first run on a faster new route. designed to shave off about ten minutes. the national transportation safety board says the train was traveling 80 miles per hour ahead of the curve over the interstate where the speed limit drops to 30. the train approached the overpass where one of the engines and 12 cars derailed. >> it wasn't easy for the firefighters to get through. they were using jaws of life and different forms of saws to be able to get into some of the crushed cars to get access to people and get them out. >> reporter: the ntsb will now try and figure out whether something other than speed play add role in the crash. is there any indication there was objects on the tracks? >> that remains to be determined. we will be looking at it very carefully with all of our rail experts. >> reporter: one of the local politicians here in dupont, washington, told the associated press he rode this train along this route on friday. it was a special trip set up for politicians and dignitaries. on that ride, he says there were no problems with speed as the train came into this curve. the train slowed down. he didn't feel like it was going too fast. so what happened yesterday? by the way, the ntsb hopes to start interviewing crew members as early as today. gayle. >> david, thank you. bella din-zar is a member of the ntsb and also at the scene of the crash in dupont, washington, and join us now. good morning to you, bella. >> good morning. >> realizing it's very early in this investigation, what can you tell us about what you all have learned so far? >> we are lucky that we're able to secure the event data recorder from the rear locomotive. and that's how we're able to know about the speed. >> how is it that a train was going 80 miles an hour around a curve where the speed limit was 30? >> that's one of the things we're going to be investigating. honestly, a lot of different factors that go into the environment, the territory, and different speed profiles, so we'll be looking at all of that. >> this was the train's inaugural trip. one of the local mayors expressed some concerns that there weren't enough safety tests done beforehand. were you content -- are you convinced there was enough done to ensure the train's safety? >> that's what we're going to be looking into. obviously, we have been promoting and recommending, making recommendations for rail safety for decades. and one of those recommendations have to do with ptc or positive train control. >> bella, thanks. one of the first responders was a civilian who says he did a simple thing working his way through the mangled cars of that train. he took these photos from the track minutes before police and rescue crews arrived. the 24-year-old eagle scout was driving to work with his girlfriend when the train derailed. he says his emergency response training helped him assess victims and lead them out of the wreckage. we talked with him last night at his family home. >> we're both in -- i guess dressed for work. had a little bit of emergency response here, like a flashlight and some boots. so we threw those on and ran down to the tracks as fast as we could and nobody was there, nobody was leading or responding to the incident. i did my best to sort of take charge of the situation. because i was up on the tracks, on the bridge. i was able to just do a simple thing and get people out of the train cars and down to the freeway. when i got to that car that was overturned and the people were pinned, it was hard -- there was a gentleman, he was pinned from the waist down. but he was so calm and he didn't look like he was injured. in that moment when i first super helpless, i realized i just want to be with this guy. so i grabbed his hand and i just talked to him. i rubbed his back. i just tried to make him as comfortable as he could be. the whole time, i was praying, asking the lord for courage and wisdom and protection as that train was sort of suspended above us and could have shifted and crushed any of us. how can i help? what can i do? give these people comfort. what would i want somebody to coudo for me if i was in that position. you're doing it out of love for them i think. out of love for this family. that's what gave me the motivation. in a lot of ways, not let fear be a factor to just do. >> no surprise, anthony, that that guy is an eagle scout. just shows you the kindness of strangers at times like this. >> risking his own life. >> exactly. eagle scouts could be very proud of him today. the world's busiest airport in atlanta is getting back to normal after the crippling power outage that stranded nearly 30,000 people. an underground electrical fire is blamed for sunday's 11-hour blackout at hartsfield jackson international airport. officials say the flames also knocked out the backup system which was located very close to the primary system. the georgia power ceo says the utility is considering a change in the setup to prevent a similar outage in the future. delta, the airport's largest carrier, expects to be on a normal schedule today. >> good news there today. the house of representatives will vote later today on the final republican tax reform bill. the senate may vote on it tonight. vice president mike pence called off a trip to the middle east just in case he has to break a tie in the senate. nancy cordes is on capitol hill where republicans are confident that they have the votes. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in fact, cbs news reached out to all 13 house republicans who voted no on the original version back in november. and 11 of them tell us that they are planning to vote no again. because they think that this bill is unfair to people in high tax states. but house republicans can afford to lose up to 22 of their own members. plus all the democrats. so gop leaders in the house think they are still in good shape to pass it today. the bill would then come over to the senate where a couple of the final holdouts announced their support yesterday. so even with senator john mccain recuperating in arizona, gop leaders believe that they have the votes in the senate to send this to the president's desk by tomorrow. now, as for the contents of the bill itself, a new independent analysis finds that 80% of americans would get a tax cut next year while about 5% would see their taxes go up. but because all of the individual rates are set to expire in 2025, 53% would see a tax increase by 2027. now, as momentous as this event is for republicans, they want to wrap it up quickly. because they have to pass a bill by the end of the week to fund the government. otherwise, they'll be risking, anthony, a government shutdown. >> nancy cordes, thanks, nancy. the white house is blaming north korea for a worldwide cyberattack that cost billions of dollars. the trump administration says it holds pyongyang directly responsible for the wannacry attack earlier this year. this comes as north korea rejects secretary of state rex tillerson's offer of talks. margaret brennan is at the white house. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the white house says the attack put lives at risk by hitting hospitals and rendering useless more than 230,000 computers in schools, homes and businesses in more than 150 countries. in remarks this morning, homeland security adviser tom bo bossert attributed the attacks to north korea, calling them careless and reckless. he did not detail the evidence but says the white house does have proof the malicious software which demanded payment to recover files has been traced back to north korea by the united kingdom, microsoft and the united states. the white house said hackers in totalitarian governments should pay a price for their actions and are calling on other countries to counter north korea's ability to conduct malicious cyber activity and fully implement existing u.n. security council sanctions. now, the trump administration has vowed to use maximum pressure to curb pyongyang's attacks. they're also calling on private companies to do more to protect themselves. >> margaret, thank you so much. the white house is also expressing concern about threats posed by russia and china. president trump unveiled his national security plan yesterday. he said powers must be confronted. >> we also face rival powers, russia and china, that seek to challenge american influence values and wealth. we will attempt to build a great partnership with those and other countries. but in a manner that always protects our national interest. >> lieutenant general h.r. mcmaster is the president's national security adviser. he helped in crafting this document. he joins us now from the white house. general, good morning. thank you so much for joining us. >> good morning. it's a pleasure to be with you. >> thank you. let me ask you about a bit of news this morning. north korea has rejected secretary of state's rex tillerson's proposal for talks without preconditions. does that mean the military option is the only one left? >> no, what we're doing is really applying maximum pressure to north korea to convince kim jong-un that this is a dead end this pursuit of nuclear weapons and an international continental long-range ballistic missile which of course poses a grave danger to the whole world. you've seen an effort led by the president worldwide to isolate that regime, to cut off not just what is restricted by the current national, the current u.n. security council resolutions, but to do more. the president has asked nations to cut off all trade with this rogue regime which you say has never met a ween it didn't use or proliferate or sell to somebody else. you saw that with the cyberattacks you just discussed. you saw it with the murder of kim jong-un's brother in a public airport with a banned nerve agent. >> no doubt. >> this is a regime that just can't get this destructive capability. >> one of the things i've noticed is the president spoke with russian president putin several times in the last couple of weeks. and yet russia has increased its trade and its oil exports to north korea. did the president specifically ask putin to stop that? >> yes, the president did ask president putin to do more. he wants all nations to do more. it just doesn't make sense that russia would increase trade and alleviate any pressure on the north korean regime. >> is there any way in which the u.s. can coexist with a nuclear north korea? >> i don't think we can tolerate that risk. the world can't tolerate that risk. if north korea has a nuclear weapon, who you going to try to prevent getting one? look at the behavior of this regime, the hostility to the whole world. >> president trump and secretary rex tillerson have had some high-profile disagreements. does that undermine rex tillerson's capability while he's traveling overseas? >> no, the president has made it very clear that on north korea for example, now is not the time to talk. what he means is there can't be negotiations under these current conditions. the north has to show initial steps towards denuclearization. the reason for this is previous approaches to negotiating with north korea have failed miserably. what the regime does is they enter into negotiations. all the while, they continue these very destructive programs. these talks oftentimes end in a weak agreement and then north korea immediately violates that agreement. the problem is now that their programs have advanced so far, we don't have time to do that again. and so we can't repeat the failed pattern of the past. >> i know the president put out a statement about his phone call with russian president putin sharing intelligence. which has happened for decades, right. if we know a terrorist attack going to happen in another country, we try to share that to prevent the loss of life. the statement was viewed as unusual by some experts. last night, james clapper, who i know you know well, the former director of national intelligence, said that putin knows how to handle an asset and that's what he's doing with the president. what do you make of that charge? >> well, the president made clear in his national security strategy and in his speech that he's going to stand up for america no matter who threatens america. what he's asked us to do with russia is develop an approach that does three fundamental things. first, confront russia's destabilizing behavior. in europe, in the middle east, in our own country, where they use a sophisticated approach to propaganda and disinformation, where they try to polarize communities within democratic societies and pit them against each other. they use advanced tool, cyber tools and social media. we're going to confront that destabilizing behavior. >> mr. clapper seems to imply the president is being manipulated. >> it's just not true. what the president has asked us to do with russia, though, as well, is to make sure we can deter conflict. you see that with the peace through strength pillar in the national security strategy. but also to try to find areas of cooperation. you mentioned it up front. russia and the united states should cooperate on north korea. there's no way that a nuclear armed north korea is in russia's interest. the president made that clear to president putin on the phone call. >> all right, lieutenant general h.r. mcmaster, herbert raymond mcmaster, thank you. blaming the florida high school for a disturbing number of cancer cases. how health investigators hope new data will solve

what's the climate that suddenly made this reckoning occur? >> well, first of all, things have been building for awhile. for example, a few months before we published the harvey weinstein story. our colleagues published a story revealing the settlement trail that bill o'reilly accumulated at fox. we were beginning to see that, first of all, we were able to report a little more on these issues, and then, also, the women were being believed and we saw the beginnings of accountability, too, this would affect the careers of men who had held power for a long time. >> i asked you once in a conversation i said do you think there's a statute of limitations on behavior? do you think there is? >> you know, i think the stories of things that happened a long time ago are very important. i appreciate hearing women's stories from the '60s, '70s, '80s. i think these are the foundations of our culture. and we have to understand them. part of the project now is that all of uses together are kind of reconstructing the secret history of how women have been harassed in the american workplace and how it's held women back in the public sphere in so many ways. >> i think one of the points, too, you made talk about the narrative. right. i mean, who decides what movies are made. who decides whose in those movies? and take that through every industry about who are the decision makers. about who is included and who is excluded. >> yeah. there was an interesting moment in this past year as the story continued to unfold when bill o'reilly was forced to step down following our colleague's sensational reporting on all the settlements he paid out to women over the years. it made me think back to the previous year when i was doing coverage of trump's treatment of women, including allegations of sexual misconduct against him. and bill o'reilly said megan shouldn't be able to do this coverage because she's a feminist. i think we're seeing other questions about who should be allowed -- who have been the voices of various issues in coverage and entertainment over the years. >> are you concerned, at all, because now i keep hearing from men and from women, too, about a potential me too backlash. to nora's points about allegations that happened long ago. and then now a woman makes an accusation and almost immediately men are saying we don't get due process. we get the death penalty. all the allegations are the same. some behavior is predatory and criminal. some is just bad, jerky behavior and inappropriate. what do you say about that, megan? >> i think that's a great question. and i think, you know, rounding the corner to 2018 we're in a remarkable cross roads here. for the first time, i think maybe ever, you have a culture in which women feel comfortable stepping forward and making allegations. whereas in the past they felt like they would be the ones to suffer consequences to their careers and worse if they spoke out. i think that moving forward it's going to be important to make sure that there are ways to categorize the different allegations. there's a difference between allegations of rape and, you know, inappropriate comments in a workplace. sexual misconduct can be a broad category. i think we have to figure out sub categories that go underneath it. i think we need to make sure that we moving forward in workplaces that there are -- that there is due process. and ways in which both the accused and the accusers are legally protected. >> the women we worked with who came on the record talking about these allegations, they did not do so lightly. they were very brave and they were serious about it. they weren't discussing minor incidents that they -- that were easy to brush off. and the reason they spoke up was they wanted to help other women. >> selma hayek in the "new york times" accusing harvey weinstein. this is a story she's been reluctant to share for awhile. and it wasn't like she laid it out there. it took some time to tell the story. >> exactly. i think it's been a rare in case in which there was one or two women that came forward with an allegation and it stopped there. often times what we've seen is that, you know, that the first or second allegation are then followed by multiple allegations. >> megan, quickly, you mentioned the reporting on president trump. allegations that are still out there, which he continues to deny. where do you see this going? >> well, it's important to revisit the more than ten women who came forward with allegations of misconduct against trump during the presidential race. and not only that, but as we know as we remember he was actually captured on audio tape bragging about this type of behavior, you know, inappropriate touching and sexual assault. and he denies it. he said he's actually never engaged in any behavior like that. in fact, he turned around and accused every single woman who came forward with allegations against him as liars and said they were politically motivated. he threatened to sue the accusers and me and the "new york times." and so i think it's a reminder of how when allegations are made in a political context, i mean, that was one of the most polarizes of races in modern political history. how sometimes the accusers can be framed as politically motivated. and but this story is not going away. those accusers are getting more attention now. in the last couple of months. and that story, i don't think, will go away. >> thank you both very much. >> thank you. oscar winning writer aaron sorkin is making his debut as a director with a new movie "molly's game" starring jessica chastain. why he put another script aside so he could tell this story. good tuesday morning to you. a clear and cool start to your day and temperatures will start to warm up a little later. your high temperatures 61 0 in fairfield and a little cooler along the coast with 58 0 in pacifica. clouds are moving in this afternoon and into the early morning hours of wednesday. ranger clear out by wednesday afternoon and nice sunny skies after that. ♪ toyland, toyland ♪ little girl and boy land ♪ while you dwell within it ♪ you are ever happy there daddy, it's christmas! ♪ childhood's joy land never let go of your dreams. the mercedes-benz winter event is back. lease the glc300 for $449 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. ♪ think of your fellow man, ♪ lend him a helping hand, ♪ put a little love in your heart.♪ ♪ you'll see it's getting late, oh please don't hesitate...♪ ♪ put a little love in your heart.♪ ♪ in your heart... ♪ in your heart... ♪ in your heart... ♪ in your heart.

>> i didn't write it with the intention of directing it. when i turned in the first draft, the producers felt i was the best one to direct it. and it took a few weeks of encouragement from directors i've worked with felt i should direct it. but in the end, the reason why i directed it is this -- there are a lot of shinny objects in this story. natural gravitational pull toward them. the glamour, decadence, money, poker, and the hollywood bold-faced names. and i had alwaysmented to tell a story set against the backdrop of those things. but focus on the larger much more emotional, more complex naunsed story about molly bloom herself. >> i love her character. you're directing kevin costner, by the way, won the academy award of "dances with wolves." for me that's like cooking for julia child. >> i was already at maximum fear and intimidation level and then kevin costner came along said he wanted to play molly's father. he's fantastic. but the idea of directing kevin was certainly daunting. he would remind me from time to time when he made his directorial debut he had to worry about which direction 5,000 buffalo were going to run. and if they come back. >> did he give you tips during the movie?

>> it was great. it wasn't an audition for jessica. i already knew, you know, from her body of work that she was who i wanted. i was going to this meeting to try to discover if this actress who has been directed by rigly scott, christopher nolan if i would be taking direction from her. three minutes into the meeting she said, listen, this meeting is stupid. you should give me the part. and i said yeah, you're right. okay. >> you said about jessica, you cannot fake funny. you cannot name smart. >> there are things an actor can't act. they can't act smart. they can't act funny. they can't act strong. they can act tough, which . jessica has in her blood stream. >> she said there was lot of fun on the set and she was surprised to learn about your excellent singing voice. >>well, i believe that she's saying that as a form of retribution. >> what were you singing? >> i'm a big believer in morale on the set. so there was some gilbert sullivan but also this thing that began on, i think, day three of the shoot, you know, when you're filming a movie, you shoot one side of the scene and then you turn around and shoot the other shot of the scene. so when we would wrap out on one side, you know, i would say okay cut. that's great. print that one. now let's turn around. and as soon as i said turn around, jessica would start singing "turn around". >> every now and then -- >> and the whole crew. and it happened every day, including on our last night of shooting. which is a scene where we shot in central park. it's a big scene between costner and jessica. we shot it all night long. and i was walking by the park bench where jessica and kevin were kind of getting themselves ready. and i heard kevin costner singing ♪ turn around >> it just trickled through the entire show. >> great. aaron sorkin, thank you so much.
