Reporter hate crimes are on the rise nationally, particularly against jews. Assaults on them are up 105 . The worst of which was the tree of life massacre in pittsburgh in 2018 that took the lives of 11 people. Earlier this month, there was a deadly attack in jersey city on a Kosher Grocery store. In the past year, a dozen White Supremacists have been arrested for plots or attacks against jews. Evan bernstein is regional director of the antidefamation league. Why are these hate crimes on the rise . Weve seen gentrification issues, housing issues, cultural strife that takes place. Lack of communication. A lot of that has been there for a long of years but also has been there, antisemitism has been part of our culture for generations. Now weve seen the uncapping of that over the last four years. Reporter the first attack this week happened on the upper east side. A man was punched and kicked after a suspect allegedly made an antisemitic remark. In light of these attacks, the nypd has beefed up patrols in jewish neighborhoods, and new yorks governor has directed a hate Crimes Task Force to look into them. For cbs this morning saturday, don dahler, new york. It is quiet in washington this weekend with both congress and President Trump still out of town for the holiday. When the Senate Returns in january, one of the first orders of business will be the impeachment trial of President Trump. Chip reid is traveling with the president in florida right now. Chip, so where does the impeachment trial stand right now . Reporter well, the impeachment process is in limbo right now. The house did impeach the president on two counts before they went home for the holidays, but nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, has not yet sent those articles of impeachment over to the senate. Whats the holdup . Pelosi says she wants to make sure the trial is fair which appears to mean that democrats will be able to call witnesses. They want to hear from White House Acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former National Security adviser john bolton among others. The white house is expected to oppose that vigorously as it did in the house. And whats the latest response from a republicans . Reporter the president in particular has been tweeting angrily all week, most of it aimed at nancy pelosi. In one tweet he said, so interesting to see nancy pelosi demanding fairness from Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell when she presided over the most unfair hearing in the history of the congress. Senator mcconnell says hell be closely coordinating with the white house counsels office. At least four republicans would have to join the democrats in voting in favor of witnesses, but keep in mind even if that does happen, that does not mean those republicans are going to join the democrats in join the democrats in voting to remove the president from office. And it takes a twothirds supermajority to remove a president from office under the constitution. And that in this case is very unlikely. Besides impeachment, that obviously has been the big headline, but some other issues that are facing the Administration North korea, there was the promised christmas gift. It seemed pretty quiet on that front this week. Reporter it does. But keep in mind that Intelligence Experts said that even though north korea called it a christmas gift, Intelligence Experts say its more likely to happen after the first of the year. They are still very closely monitoring that situation. What they fear most of all is that it could be a test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. And if that does happen, it would be a major setback for the president s efforts to denuclearize north korea. All right. Chip reid. Thank you so much. Now to the latest on former u. S. Navy s. E. A. L. Edward gallagher. In newly leaked videos obtained by the New York Times, fellow s. E. A. L. S who turned him in described him in blunt terms. Gallagher was acquitted of murdering an isis founder but was found guilty of posing with the dead militant. His case gained National Attention after President Trump restored his rank and prevented any further punishment. David martin has more on the s. E. A. L. S accusations. Reporter statements from gallaghers own men describe a navy s. E. A. L. Who had lost all sense of right and wrong on the battlefield. I think he wants to kill anybody he can. Reporter the guys freaking evil, man, another member of the platoon told naval investigators in video obtained by the New York Times. The guy was toxic. Reporter s. E. A. L. S broke the code of silence, accusing the man in led them in combat of war crimes. Its our duty to not let there continue. Reporter based in part on the videos, gallagher was charged with murdering a captured isis fighter. They didnt like the chief, he was pushing them too hard. They couldnt keep up, and they wanted to get hid of him. They didnt want him to be in charge of them anymore. Reporter one of the seals was granted immunity and said the fighter was as fixiated. Thats when the case fell apart. You didnt say that he suffoca suffocated, did you . No. Did you . Yes. Reporter gallagher was acquitted of the murder charge but convicted of posing with the body. Hes retired and last week met with President Trump who had ordered the navy not to take any disciplinary action against him. Hes one of the ultimate fighters. Tough guy. These are not weak people. These are tough people. Were going to protect our war fighters. Reporter great fighter or freaking evil . The facts are that gallagher retired with his full rank as a navy s. E. A. L. But also with a conviction for violating one of the laws of war. For cbs this morning saturday, david martin at the pentagon. His mouth made him fame and fortune, but it also cost him dearly at times. Radio host don imus died friday after a brief illness. He spent nearly 50 years on the air entertaining and often infuriating his listeners. Do we have to put these morons on the radio . Reporter with his gritty voice gutness weasles reporter and signature cowboy hat, don imus was one of the most outrageous, irreverent, and influential broadcasters of his time. Was that the most obnoxious jerk that ive ever seen . Reporter he gained fame and notoriety for his newsmaking interviews, edgy comedy bits, drug and alcohol problems. Id drink on the air. Do cocaine on the air. Reporter longrunning feud with howard stern and his charity work for kids with cancer. Born in riverside, california, in 1940, imus began his career as a d. J. In 1968, eventually moving markets to new york city in 1971 where he launched his own radio show. To say the least, he never pulled a punch, making controversial, many times offensive and vitriolic comments about celebrities, politicians, women, and minorities. That got him into trouble over his 50year career. Most notably in 2007 when he called the rutgers Womens Basketball team a racist slur and was fired from cbs and msnbc. He talked about that to cbs Anthony Mason in 2018. A good chance my feeling about making fun of some people who didnt deserve to be made fun of and didnt have a mechanism to defend themselves. Reporter imus officially hung up his hat last year. His image as legendary to some and venomous to countless others lives on. I felt when i walked in there and sat down and turned it the mic on that i was talking to you. You know, im going to miss that. So fascinating to watch that interview from last year. A long time in the making. Some of the things that he regrets and doesnt. Right. Flawed
