it later. >> we will. >> i couldn't help myself. we will move on. more on that in a little bit. first, let's get to this. president trump reached out to voters from the oval office last night saying that the country needs a border wall to respond top what he called an illegal immigration crisis. but first, there is breaking news this morning that cog affect the investigation of the president's 2016 campaign. >> and cbs news confirms deputy attorney general rod rosenstein plans to resign in the next few weeks. we're about a year and a half, he was the top justice department official overseeing special council robert mueller's russia probe. paul loo reid has the story behind rosenstein's planned exit. we've been hearing about this planned exit for some time. good morning to you. >> reporter: he is expected to resign in the coming weeks, around when the new attorney general william barr is expected to be confirmed. i'm told you he always saw this as about a two-year position. it's unclear what had means for the special counsel investigation. barr will likely inherit oversight of that case but it's not a guarantee since his very public criticism of the case is expected to be a central theme of his confirmation hearing next week. >> new details in that case. the special counsel now has the clearest evidence to date that the trump campaign may have coordinated with the russians during the campaign. what does that mean for the president? >> reporter: nora, the president has consistently denied there were any contacts between his campaign and russia, but this is the first evidence that we have that his campaign chairman had contacts with a business associate, the ties to russian intelligence and was sharing polling data. and this is the kind of new information that we expect will be released in mueller's final report. pieces of information that don't necessarily warrant criminal charges but help paint a larger picture about contacts between the trump campaign and russia. >> thank you. that development that paul manafort shared polling information with the russians, that's -- >> that's the key. the question is whether the president knew about that, whether that's the only piece of information he shared or whether there's more to come. >> russian associated with the russian intelligence, not just any russian. >> exactly right. >> not just a passerby in the street. every president since truman has used televised speeches from the oval office to talk about the most important issues of the day. president trump's first oval office speech last night addressed what he called a crisis of the heart and soul. along the u.s. southern border. he argued that building a border wall is absolutely critical for security and humanitarian reasons. mr. trump criticized democrats in congress for refusing to spend billions on the project. house speaker nancy pelosi and senate democratic leader chuck schumer responded saying the president manufactured a border crisis. they accused him of holding the american people hostage in a partial government shut down. major garrett is at the white house to untangle it for us. major, good morning. >> reporter: president trump's first oval office address in summary said the following, the philosophy undocumented immigrants, illegal drugs and human trafficking along the southern border right now constitutes a national crisis. the platform was new. primetime. the remarks very, very familiar. notably absent, any new proposals from the president or hints of concessions to come that could end the shutdown. >> this is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul. >> reporter: looking to sway public opinion in the government shutdown battle he argued illegal immigration at the southern border hurts all-american it strains public resources and drives down jobs and wages. >> reporter: he also claimed it's an issue of criminality. >> in the last two years, i.c.e. officers made 266,000 arrests of aliens with criminal records. >> reporter: of the 266,000 arrests, most were for nonviolent offenses including more than 80,000 track violations. the president also made an emotional appeal as he mentioned the families of victims killed by illegal immigrants. >> i've held the hands of the weeping mothers and embraced the grief-stricken fathers. >> reporter: mr. trump used the 9 1/2 minute address to further entrench his position in the shutdown battle. he wants $5.7 billion in wall funding and is refusing to back down from fulfilling a signature campaign promise. >> this barrier is absolutely critical to border security. >> reporter: the president argued the southern border is a pipeline for illegal drugs including heroin. but it is unclear how a wall would address the problem a 2018 report from the dea says drug tracking is concentrated at legal ports of entry, not remote stretches of the border. >> democratses in congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis. >> reporter: the speech included little effort at outreach. . trump blamed democrats for the shutdown which has affected 800,000 federal workers. >> the federal government remains shut down for one reason and one reason only. because democrats will not fund border security. >> reporter: a false claim has democrats voted last week for $1.3 billion in border security including physical barriers and technology on the border. just not the wall funding mr. trump requested. >> the president is rejecting these bipartisan bills which would reopen government. >> reporter: in their rebuttal nancy pelosi and chuck schumer said the debate over the wall should be separate so the government can reopen. >> this president just used the backdrop confident oval office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear, and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration. >> reporter: democrats haven't always been against funding a southern barrier. in 2006, senator schumer and other democrats supported legislation for fencing on the border. >> the symbol of america should be the statue of liberty, not a 30-foot wall. >> reporter: the president has been publicly toying with the idea of declaring a national emergency, which might give him the legal authority to siphon pentagon construction funds to accelerate building the wall on the southern border. but last night, no mention of this particular tactic. >> big question what legal ramifications that would have had. major, thank you. hundreds of thousands of federal workers are set to miss their first paychecks this friday. so democrats in in congress are working to reopen the government. phouse democrats now that they hold the majority. >> reporter: the newest volley begins today and will continue over the next few days. they're going to hold a series of votes to essentially funds and reopen these shuttered agencies one by one. so today, they're going to kick it off with the treasury department and the irs so that refund checks can continue unan based and then tomorrow, they'll vote to fund the interior and agriculture departments so that food stamps and farm aid can resume. all of this, however, is a largely symbolic move because the republican-led senate has said it's not going to follow suit and sticking with the president. what democrats are trying to do is trying to put some cracks in that republican resolve. peel off republicans who may be either never shared the president's passion for a wall or who are concerned about the impact of this shutdown in their district. >> and nancy, we're starting to see signs that certain republican senators are feeling that pressure from constituents, right? >> reporter: right. all of them are getting phone calls. you are seeing some incremental change. last night, alaska senator lisa murkowski became the third republican senator to say publicly that we should reopen most of these agencies as negotiations continue. here's what she had to say. the reality "is that thousands of furloughed federal employees and contractors have no paycheck in sight and there's no reason that they should be held hostage to a political dispute." republican leaders continue to say democrats need to get back to the negotiating table with the president and shouldn't be passing bills they know the president is not going to sign. democrats say they've tried that, that the president's terms keep changing. all of the leaders are going to be going back to the white house had afternoon, but as of right now, nobody seems to hold out any hope of a break-through. >> nancy, thank you. >> lisa murkowski makes the fifth republican to speak out like this in the senate. if you add those to unanimous democrats you could pass through the senate what the house democrats have put forward. it's just now leader mcconnell won't put that on the floor. >> those republicans are up for re-election, some of them are. >> some are. part of their inspiration. >> they're certainly feeling pressure. it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. >> it's really hurting people. >> exactly. >> a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck. the president is scheduled to visit the southern border tomorrow. thousands of agents and border protection agents are working without pay during the shutdown. maria is in hidalgo, texas. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a lot of people that live and work here in the rio grande valley believe this is ground zero for the immigration battle. as far as politics goes, this is a predominantly blue county. hidalgo county predominantly democrat. they haven't elected a republican in over 100 years. everyone here does agree they do want border security. where the difference is, they don't want the border wall. a dozen rio grande valley communities have reportedly passed resolutions against the border wall. however, both republicans and democrats in the valley agree they do need more funds to support law enforcement. and to handle the influx of migrants we've recently been seeing. the difference is trump support r supporters want the wall and believe they need to close the graps in the wall constructed down here. this port is one of the busiest in the country. in 2015, nearly 2.5 million people use the pedestrian bridges to visit the u.s. in that samthe port30wo countries, the u.s. and mexico, continue to have good relations. we also spoke with the mayor of another border town about ten miles from here. he says he wants to talk to trump and concerned about the proposed wall going through a number of private landowners' property. his issue is, if the proposed wall is actually built, how will emergency responders get to those areas. >> thank you. new details emerging about an american navy veteran being held captive in iran. the family of michael white revealed this week, he's been in captivity since last summer. his mother says she had no idea about the possible charges. "face the nation" moderator and senior foreign affairs correspondent margaret brannan is in washington with more on the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. michael white is the fourth american being held by aaron and while cbs news learned that iran floated the idea of a prisoner exchange, state department officials will not say whether the trump administration is now willing to negotiate. contact between the two the countries was cut off after president trump exited the nuclear deal. after american michael white didn't board his flight back from iran last july, the 46-year-old's mother filed a missing person's report. about five months later, the stout department informed her he's being held in an iranian prison. i'm very worried about his health she told cbs news. he just got over cancer and i'm worried about his condition. it's very scary to me. according to his family, the california native has travelled to iran three times to visit a woman believed to be his girlfriend. >> iran's leaders sow chaos, death, and destruction. >> reporter: president trump's hard line stance exiting the nuclear deal and sanctioning iran has not stopped it from continuing to detain three other americans including the person seen in this propaganda video and his father. iran's foreign minister told us last april that iran is open to a prisoner swap into it is a possibility from a humanitarian perspective. >> reporter: but president trump vowed not to broker the time of deal that will obama agreed to in 2016 which unfroze iranian assets and freed four americans including a west journalist. >> i didn't do what obama did, give them $1.8 billion in cash to get back four hostages. >> the two countries have to speak to each other. >> reporter: kristin levinson's husband, bob levinson, has been missing in iran since 2007. his whereabouts are unknown. >> they're being kept from their families and need to come home. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news that iran is holding the americans to extract concessions such as those received in that obama era trade. a senior administration official said iran turned at least one offer to talk down leaving the fate of the americans unclear. >> margaret brannan, thank you very much. the family of a patient who became pregnant and gave birth while in a coma at a nursing facility is speaking out for the first time. they say they're traumatized and shocked by what they call the abuse and neglect of their daughter. the 29-year-old woman has been in a vegetative state more than a decade. she gave birth last month at hacienda health care facility in phoenix, arizona. the woman is a member of the san carlos apache tribe. police served a warrant yesterday to get dna from all male employees at the facility. >> a lawyer for the woman's family issue aid statement on their behalf saying the baby boy has been born into a loving family and he will be well cared for. the chairman of the tribe tells cbs news "i am deeply shocked and horrified at the treatment of one of our members. it is my hope that justice will be served." hacienda's ceo bill tim mons stepped down yesterday and said the business is doing everything possible to bring the investigation to a quick could be conclusion. the dna will tell the story. >> we need an answer to that is disgusting story. a second suspecting is charged with murder

to those who refuse to compromise in the name of border security, i would ask imagine if it was your child, your husband or your wife whose life was so cruelly shattered and totally broken? to every member of congress, pass a bill that ends this crisis. >> despite all the hoopla and speculation, the president did not declare a national emergency, an idea that may let him use pentagon funds without congressional approval. he did not offer any new proposals last night either to try to end the shutdown and quite frankly neither did the democratic leaders. it was a lot of talking. they slammed the president in share response. they accused him of stoking fear. >> president trump must stop holding the american people hostage and must stop manufacturing a crisis and must reopen the government. >> house democrats plan to start passing spending bills this week to open parts of the government, but the republican-led senate does not plan to vote on them. i know both of you guys have given speeches before, and you know the amount of time it takes to write that speech, prepare for it. i kept thinking all that time that was spend preparing for these speeches, if they had actually spent time talking to each other and working out a deal that would have served the people that put them in office a lot better. >> well, they are going to be talking again today. it was interesting to see nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. they both look sort of like deer in the headlights the way they were talking. you're right. neither side offered anything concrete so the conversation does continue. >> did i tell you how i really feel? >> no, you actually didn't. >> bob schieffer would say, strong letter to follow. >> norah, i keep saying what you said the other day about all the people not getting paid. that's what i'm most concerned news" and i see people not getting their paychecks and coming home from their family -- a great piece was done last night, some will be choosing between groceries. >> i saw that that, too. >> a self-inflicted conflict. >> let's see. >> on this point, we're hoping that the conversation leads to something today. and to the point that norah is raising, all of us is thinking about, hundreds of thousands of federal workers are living without pay during this shutdown. julie clark, for instance, is a park ranger in northern california, but her side business is cleaning windows. it's now her only source of income, she says. she's worried about defaulting on her student loans. lesyka parrott from the bureau of land management, a single mom down to her last $800. both watched the speech with carter evans and said they did not get the message that they were hoping for. >> yeah, i was hoping, like oh, they are going to put us back to work tomorrow. that'shat i was hoping worl it seems ee cou have imagined. >> it'otn worse. >> i think so, yeah. >> we all have to make compromises with each other throughout our daily lives, with our boss, our partner. it seems like the government should be a great example of that, and they just don't seem to come together right now. >> reporter: do you feel like you're stuck in the middle of this? do you feel like you're being used? >> yeah, definitely feel like a pawn in a game that i don't agree with, but, yeah, i definitely feel stuck, and there's just absolutely nothing i can do about it. >> i'm pretty resilient, but i do not like being in this position, and i feel almost like i'm being punished for something that i didn't do. >> in california an air force veteran was raped, murdered andd >> reporter: you can see where he's coming from in that sense?

>> so, look, i -- the stories that the president tells, the anecdotes are horrifying, right, and they appeal to people's sense of fear and crisis, but the numbers belie that there isn't a real crisis, right? some of this has been sort of steady state. some of the people who enter this country illegally commit horrific crimes. that's not new. there is a role for a border barrier, but it's a role as part of a larger strategy. you'll recall, norah, when we were in washington in the bush administration, we argued for comprehensive immigration reform and a barrier was part of a larger strategy, and that's what is lost here, right? there's no talk about a larger strategy. there's talk about building a wall, but you need -- there's all sorts of components. you need more medical attention. you need more detention facilities. you need more border patrol agents and law enforcement. this is one piece of a larger strategy. >> so we're facing an opioid epidemic in this country. facing a heroin epidemic. it is the majority, the president is right, coming from mexico and the south, but the truth is that's -- the drugs are actually coming through legal ports of entry. >> that's correct. >> why can't we strengthen that at the legal points of entry, that should be a focus hand this is what i'm saying. there needs to be a larger comprehension itch strategy to address the problem of which a physical barrier is one small piece. >> france, let me ask you this. you used to order the threats for the president looking at the wide landscape that the president has to worry about. given the emergency created here, the stories that we just heard, pain that's happening in people's lives as a result of decisions here, where would this rank on the list of threats that president happens to worry about? >> not high on my list, john. look at the rising crisis of anti-semitism and domestic terrorism in this country. that would be much higher on my list but we're not talking about that. look at the opioid epidemic that norah mentions. i mean, there's a bunch of things, foreign policy crises i would put higher on the list, russia, china, the threats from china, international terrorism, isis, syria. i mean, i have a whole long list but this is not at the top of it. >> are you concerned from a security standpoint of the consequences falling out from this government shutdown, particularly at a legal port of ent rip which is the airport? >> absolutely. bianna, look, the stories we've heard of workers affected is tragic, right, on a human level and individual level. again, from a national security perspective you've got tsa workers, many of whom are hourly wage earners. >> exactly. >> who can't buy groceries and can't pay their mortgage and you worry we've heard stories about them calling in sick. i'll give you another example. those who protect the president have monthly requirements to go to the firing range, training, right, firearms training. >> right. >> the training, that's the first thing to go in a shutdown because it's not essential, so how do we feel about them being protected? >> and all the people making did they significances are still getting paid. >> congress, yeah. >> all the people that are making it are getting paid. >> very frustrating. >> fran, important context again as always. >> thanks. a new study says millions of older americans are being forced how the of their we have more news ahead. a we have much more news ahead. a helicopter pilot needed to make a dramatic precision landing to make a rescue. we'll show you his life-saving maneuver. you're watching requests cbs this morning." happy birthday to us. ♪ [friend] i've never seen that before. ♪ ♪ i have... ♪ turn up your swagger game with one a day gummies. one serving... ...once a day... ...with nutrients that support 6 vital functions... ...and one healthy you. that's the power of one a day. from the very beginning ... it was always our singular focus, to do whatever it takes, use every possible resource, to fight cancer. and never lose sight of the patients we're fighting for. our cancer treatment specialists share the same vision. experts from all over the world, working closely together to deliver truly personalized cancer care. and these are the specialists we're proud to call our own. expert medicine works here. learn more at cancercenter.com. appointments available now. learn more at cancercenter.com. ♪ ♪ ♪ ww freestyle is proven to help people lose weight, sleep better, and feel happier. join for free and lose 10 lbs. on us. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats moderate to severe plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla,75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. denny's new super slampler. bacon, eggs, french toast, and buttermilk pancakes for $6.99. male voice: $6.99?
