Trump tweeted he was viciously attacked by mr. Khan and asked, quote, am i not allowed to respond. Major garrett is in washington. Reporter after the father of an american soldier killed fighting for his country called out donald trump, trump responded by questioning that fathers religion and even his right to speak about sacrifice. This time, his quick reactions are deepening republican reservations about their standard bearer. Who wrote that . Did hillarys script writers write it. Reporter donald trump turned on khizr khan lashing out from this criticism. You have sacrificed nothing. And no one. Reporter when pressed on his own history of sacrifice, trump said this. I have created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs. Built great structures. Ive had tremendous success. I think those are sacrifices . Oh, sure, i think theyre sacrifices. Reporter trump even implied that khan may have silenced his wife for religious reasons. Maybe she wasnt allowed to have anything to say. Reporter mrs. Khan defended herself writing, without saying a thing, all the world felt my pain. In an interview, mr. Khan questioned trumps character. I want his family to counsel him, teach him some empathy. He will be a better person if he could become, but he is a black soul. Reporter khan urged House Speaker paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell to denounce trump. Both released statements sunday praising the khan family and repeating their objection to trumps proposed ban on muslims entering the country. Trump also continues to face questions about his relationship with russian president Vladimir Putin. I spoke indirectly and directly with president putin who could not have been nicer. Reporter now trump says he cant remember if he even met putin. I dont think i ever met him. Reporter trimp subsequently acknowledged khans son was an American Hero and says his disagreement with the khan family is about radical islamic terror and the inability of theist to stop it. Mike pence last night said in a statement that trump policies will keep other American Families from facing the enduring heartbreak of the khan family. Thank you very much, major. Hillary clinton is sharpening her attacks on donald trump today. They are crisscrossing the swing states of pennsylvania and ohio. Pennsylvania and ohio are among 11 key states. In the latest battleground tracker, that poll shows that Hillary Clinton leads donald trump 43 to 41 across the swing states. Nancy cordes is in washington with more on that. Reporter it wont surprise you to hear that the khan controversy was a big topic for clinton this weekend, too.

I think this is a time to pick country over party. Reporter their first joint bus tour took clinton and tim kaine through traditionally republican territory. They repeatedly called trump out f outsouring. Why does he make suits in mexico instead of ohio. He says he cant find any American Workers. Shame on you, donald trump. Shame on you. Does anybody here believe one word of what he says . Not one word, folks. Reporter but the Washington Post had trouble believing clinton sunday for this answer on her emails. After a long investigation, james comey said none of those things that you told the American Public were true. Chris, thats not what i heard director comey said. He said that my answers were truthful and what i said is consistent with what i have told the american people. Reporter the post called that highly misleading because the fbi director only said that clintons comments to his investigations were truthful while he acknowledged some of her public assertions were not. Donald trump is raising objections about the president ial debate schedule. The candidates are set to face j faceoff three times. Trumps campaign is upset that two debates will take place on the same night as nationally televised nfl games. Trump said he received a letter from the nfl about it, but the league denies sending him any letters. Now the commission on president ial debates is pushing back. They said more than 18 months of planning have gone into the date saying, quote, it is impossible to avoid all sporting events. Face the nation moderator John Dickerson is with us. Do we expect the question about khan and question about putin to have danimaging sustainable effect . Youre right to be skeptical about the longterm. Particularly the back and forth with mr. Khan has the potential to be a problem if the following happens which is that it atta attaches to an underlying issue about donald trump. There are these issues of whether he has the temperament for the job. With a certain set of voters they do worry about him. Is he able to stop his impulses. In this case, hes a counter puncher. Its the issue that these are died in the service of this country. Somebody once said when youre in a hole stop digging. Thats right. The people who love him would look at this and say theyre picking on him as they always did and this is a small deal. He has said, though, john, when somebody attacks me, i attack back. Some people say whats wrong with that. Not only whats wrong with that, thats what we need. Theyre looking at him and saying is that fighting back quality all that hes got, or does he have some restraint thats also required for the job. Thats what this might highlight. Did people say this might be like joseph welch moment. My question is whether over time the accumulation of these events as the undecided voters start to pay for attention whether it may take a toll on him. I think thats the thing to look for. The accumulation plus the republicans calling him out. Paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell are still 100 donald Trump Supporters in terms of their party loyalty. But they are they both made comments about this. You add the accumulation plus the sort of people from inside the Republican Party criticizing him and that might cause just what youre talking about. We have a bump for Hillary Clinton coming out of the dmocratic convention. Will that even out . Lets see where we are in a week. Whats interesting as a smart political analyst mentioned on face the nation yesterday, look at the college the White College voter, White College educated voter. She has a big bump in our poll in that group. Republicans have always won that since 1952. Thats a part of the republican coalition. Hillary clinton is now up by five or six points in our poll with that group. Thats important because shes basically reaching into the Republican Group and thats part of a soccer moms . Is that group that is essentially the soccer mom group. But republicans have won that. And so for her to be grabbing that is and thats the group that were talking about here thats nervous. Republicans who traditionally would vote for a republican candidate who are nervous about the things we were just discussing. Must have been a smart analyst. It was. Wonder who that would have been. Exactly. Shes in pennsylvania. Shes in the rust belt. Shes trying to dive into what is expected to be possibility of support for him. You hear kaine talk about we care about workers. Thats a group that Donald Trumps going to win. They just need to not have donald trump win by so much. Thanks, john. In the next hour, well talk to john about his new book. It contains some of the memorable stories in american president ial campaign history. John dickerson, hes something else. A little bit later on. Downpours overnight moved northeast causing heavy floods in the northern new jersey area. This rainfall of devastating weekend floods west of baltimore that killed two people.

This dramatic cell phone video shows people in Ellicott City linking arms to save a woman from her car as it was being washed away by the force of the flood. We all started yelling. Reporter david was recording the rain sweeping through the main street art gallery he owns with his wife. He came out and saw people taking refuge in their foyer. Thats when they spotted the stranded driver. The water went from just above the curb to 20 inches higher in the street in just a couple minutes. I will never forget seeing that video of the human chain saving that person out of that car. Ill never forget that. Oh, my god. Reporter scenes like this play throughout the small toin 60 miles west of baltimore. Water rushed through the streets, turning roads into rivers and sweeping away anything in its path. Theres people in the water reporter diners at this restaurant watched cars, some with People Holding onto them, float away. The aftermath was just as striking.

Maryland governor larry hogan toured the devastation and declared a state of emergency for the county. Were going to provide as much assistance as we can. Its going to be a minimum of months until we can reach that point of anything like restoring the previous state of the community. Reporter all of this was just so unexpected. Officials say at least 200 buildings were damaged, most of them significantly, and some of them completely destroyed. And consider this. 170 vehicles were swept up by this flood. John . Thanks errol. We have new details this morning on the hot air balloon disaster that killed 16 people in texas. The balloon crashed saturday after appearing to hit power lines. Omar villafranca is in texas with how federal regulators tried to prevent this kind of tragedy. Reporter good morning, the hot air balloon hit some high tension power lined located just beyond those railroad tracks. There was fog in the area saturday morning, and investigators are now looking at pictures and videos posted to social media from inside and outside of the balloon to try to figure out what went wrong. Jason shared this video of his sister and her daughter on board the hot air balloon on saturday. He fears they are among the 15 passengers killed in the crash. All the way until 7 35, she was posting video and pictures. And then it just stopped. Reporter following what was scheduled to be a 6 49 a. M.

Theres physical evidence to ka indicate that the balloon or some component of the balloon hit the wires themselves and not the tower. Reporter the basket was discovered about 8 miles north of the air park and the balloon about threequarters of a mile beyond that. When i got to right about where that red vehicle is over there, thats when the thing just went up. Reporter 49yearold skip nichols was the balloons pilot. Steve bridniak flew with him two months ago. He was constantly looking around. He was definitely checking for power lines. Reporter two years ago, the faa urged the Aviation Administration to look at balloon measures.

Donald trump faces new questions about his approach to American Foreign policy. Trump said if he were president , russian leader Vladimir Putin would not invade ukraine. Hes not going into ukraine. Just so you understand. Hes not going to go into ukraine. You can mark it down. You can put it down. Hes already there, isnt he . Hes there in a certain way. But im not there yet. Obama is there. Frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under obama. With all the strength youre talking about and all the power of nato and ail of this. In the meantime, he takes crimea. Hillary Clintons Campaign said in a statement, quote, this is scary stuff, and yet more proof why donald trump is unfit and totally unqualified to be commander and chief. General Michael Hayden, good morning. Good morning. Do you agree with Hillary Clinton . Well, it certainly was a factfree description of whats going on in the ukraine. Do you agree with what she said . Totally unfit and unqualified to be commander in chief that would add to a wbody of evidence that would dra one towards that conclusion. There is a chance to recover. Right now, that statement there again, devoid of facts and divorced from traditional european policy. I mean, that was the violent change of a European Border with the annexation of crimea which he says he might be fine with at some point in the future. Beyond just whats happening in the ukraine, can you actually live with a europe in which you can change borders based upon popular sovereignty . How much more violent would the continent become . What do you make of the overall picture here . Vladimir putin saying nice things about donald trump. Donald trump saying nice things about Vladimir Putin. Whats the big takeaway here . We have developed elements of strategy within the trump campaign. One of those elements is a far more cooperative relationship with the Russian Federation than we have had since the invasion of georgia in 2008. It also appears to be a fairly costfree engagement for the russians with the americans forgiving previous russian sins and allowing certain forms of russian behavior in return for russian cooperation on other joint problems. Now, look, i like the part about the russian cooperation, but i do think actions have consequences. The occupation of crimea, the continued occupation of portions of the ukraine, the threat to the baltics, the unacceptable behavior, the Cyber Attacks which were pretty certain that the russians are carrying out. You cant have this accommodation while that kind of behavior continues. Three questions about the russian cyber attack. Number one, are we convinced they did it . Is everybody in the Intelligence Community convinced they did it . Did they do it because they want to manipulate the election . Three, how do we retaliate. I think they did it. You saw jim clapper cutely say only a limited number who could do this. I think the consensus is they did do this. In the cyber domain, sometimes you cant get to that court of law beyond no reasonable doubt. I think the rab russians did it. The stealing of the data, thats generally accepted state espionage. Stealing that stuff is what big nations, including our own do to other big nations. They did something else, though. They weaponized the information. They used the information to at a minimum play with our heads. I really dont think hes got the wisdom, the cleverness, to use the data to affect the outcome of the campaign. Putin. I think hes just playing with our heads. He thinks we do this to him all the time. He thinks we did the orange revolution. He thinks we did the rose revolution. Hes trying to give us a taste of our own medicine. With regard to retaliation, you dont need to pull the trigger, so to speak, in the cyber domain. This becomes part of that broad package of russian behavior requiring a broader to my view, tougher american response. Im sorry. Okay. There are reports that there are going to be daily briefings for donald trump and Hillary Clinton, security briefings. What exactly does that mean and do you think this is a good idea for both candidates . Its a necessary idea. Its not quite what the constitution requires. Its not written down, but it is our protocol. You get the nomination of one or both of those parties, you are titled to some classified information. It was suggested that donald trump get fake briefings. Yeah, you cant harry reid. The cities president has to treat both candidates perfectly equally. Theyre not going to get daily briefings. Theyre too busy. I suspect we may have a few. And its just a few seminarlike discussions. This is going to look like one of those thinktank seminars on steroids. This isnt going to be let me show you the covert actions. Theyre busy, all right . But even candidates less talkative than mr. Trump are frightened about trying to sort out in their minds when they get the unexpected question from folks like yourself, did i learn that in the briefing or did i read that in the paper. And they want to keep those challenges to a minimum until election day. You have some intelligence officials who have suggested and been reported that they are concerned about donald trump having these briefings. You have paul ryan suggesting that hes concerned about Hillary Clinton having these briefings. Whats your level of concern about each of them having these briefings . Saying those things is unprecedented. This should be normal. This is just routine run of the american electoral process. You have candidates that have done and said things that make serious people question their suitability, but theyre going to get it. Do you think theyre going to tell these candidates everything they tell the president of the United States . The briefings between now and the election will be very vanilla. That will be classified light. Somebody after the first tuesday, first monday is getting the president s daily brief. You take ohio, you take florida, you take pennsylvania, thats all you need to get the secrets. Coming back to ukraine one more time. There was story that Paul Manafort had a relationship with a woman. But is there anything here we should look at . The circumstantial evidence really does suggest an interest plot line. But charlie, to my mind, thats all you have to date. That would be just one hypothesis. This could very well be the candidates own view that he likes to side l up to the stuff guy, the guy who makes decisions, and i can deal with the tough guy. Now, that can be fed by the relationships that other members of his Campaign Team have had before. He said said maybe if russia can help defeat isis, why wouldnt that be a good idea to form a partnership with them. Exactly right. Thats the point. Thats not just Trumps Campaign plan its actually the current administrations plan at the moment. General, always good to have you here.

We have full confidence in the brazilian authorities with regard to security. And the ioc is taking into consideration olympicrelated security measures. Reporter its been seven years since rio was awarded south americas first ever Olympic Games which are expected to cost more than 12 billion. But rio got the games before zika was a Global Health crisis and the country sunk into its deepest recession in decades. They say all of the problems will be forgotten once the games begin.

There is more real news ahead including the cases of zika in florida triggering alarms there. Well talk to the head of Infectious Diseases at nih. But first, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. The father of an american soldier killed fighting for his country called out donald trump. Trump responded questioning that fathers religion. Somebody wants that when youre in a hole stop digging. Thats right. Trump has demeaned so many people at this point its hard to know where the bottom is. There are reports that are going to be daily briefings for donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Youve got two candidates who have done and said things that make serious people question their suitability for getting information. 6 inches of rain fell within two hours. The historic flooding that followed killed at least two people. Investigators are looking at pictures and videos from inside and outside of the balloon to try to figure out what went wrong. Hillary clinton, on the night of her historic nomination, she stood before the nation in full pit bull cosplay. Its not just a detail if its your kid. If its your family. Drop the balloons and i will count them ail on all about the details. Im charlie rose with gayle king and john heilemann. A new cbs news poll Shows Hillary clinton got a bump in support after the Democratic National convention. She now leads donald trump nationally by seven points, 46 to 39 . The candidates were tied after the republican convention. Donald trumps fight with the parents of a fallen Muslim American soldier is drawing criticism from both republicans and democrats. Trump tweeted yesterday, i was viciously attacked by mr. Khan, am i not allowed to respond . Hillary voted for the iraq war, not me. Khizr khan said if it were up to him, trump, his son would not have been in the United States. His son was killed in 2004 in iraq. Donald trump says the captain khan was a hero and that the real problem is radical islamic terrorists. But trump also questioned why khans wife didnt speak at the convention. Trump suggested it was for religious reasons. Yesterday, khan said he had asked his wife if he wanted to speak. She said you know my condition. When i see my sons picture, i cannot hold myself together. For this candidate for presidency to not be aware of the respect of a gold star mother standing there and he had to take that shot at her, this is height of ignorance. During his convention speech, khan also said that trump had sacrificed nothing and no one. In response, donald trump said his sacrifices came in the form of jobs he created. An investigation into Donald Trumps hiring practices shows he recently filed visa applications to bring in Foreign Workers. He filed applications this month claiming he couldnt find enough americans to do that work and is seeking temporary visas to bring in 65 workers. Trump responded in an interview taped friday, but aired sunday. If you look at all of the other places in palm beach, theyre all doing exactly you know why theyre doing that . Because you cant get people. What do you think a voter thinks when you say i cant find American Workers . I think the voter understands it. You know, youre not reinventing the wheel here with these questions. These questions get asked all the time. I have many other places where i dont have to do that because you have a normal season. In ohio yesterday, Hillary Clinton said that donald trump is concerned with making more money, not making america great. He goes around saying he wants to put America First and america workers first. And then just today we learned once again hes asked for visas to employ Foreign Workers at his country clubs because he says he cant find any American Workers. Shame on you, donald trump. Clinton will appear today in nebraska with billionaire investor warren buffett. Trump campaigns in ohio and pennsylvania. Tomorrow, Donald Trumps son eric will be here in studio 57. In florida this morning, it is all but certain that four zika cases came from local mosquitos. More are expected in that region. Well over 1,600 travelrelated cases are reported in the continental u. S. And hawaii and there are more than 400 pregnant women with signs of zika. In the meantime Congress Went on a summer recess without approving funds to fight zika. Now they want members to cut their break short. We have the doctor in bethesda, maryland this morning. Hello dr. Fay uci. Why are authorities so confident these are local mosquitos in florida . They are local mosquitos because there are no evidence at all that these individuals did not travel identify the continental United States. Theres no evidence theyve had any kind of contact with other people who have zika. The obvious conclusion of this that this is local spread through mosquitos which was not at all unexpected given the number of travelrelated cases that we know are in the United States, many of which are concentrated in florida. Do you expect to find additional local cases . I think there will be no doubt that were going to see additional cases. This is something that was expected. It was predicted. The critical issue now is to prevent these locally acquired cases from becoming sustained and disseminated. Theres a lot of activity going on locally by the local Health Authorities of very aggressive mosquito abatement control in order to prevent this spread beyond that area in the dade county area. How do you do that . You can actually eliminate standing water which mosquitos very vigorously pro create there. They lay their eggs in water, get larvae and get adults. When i say standing water, even small little bottle caps. Thats one way. The other way is by killing the larvae. Spraying either with backpack type spraying or aerial spraying. Theyre putting a full court press on that right now. The white house asked for a big funding, 1. 9 billion back in february. Congress is now in recess. How big a problem is it that that money is not available to fight this disease . It fundamentally is a big problem to begin with. As were getting now into august, the beginning of august, we have had i mean the cdc and nih and others, have had to borrow money from other areas of things that we do to get our effort going. We are going to very soon relation out of money to do that. It really is unfortunate that that money has not been appropriated. Should they come back early from break, as is being suggested . I dont know what the mechanism is, gayle, by something needs to be done. Ty for joining us this morning. It could take months for a small maryland town to recover from devastating weekend flooding. Surging water killed two people in Ellicott City west of baltimore. Many residents helped each other to survive. Dramatic video shows people linking arms to save a woman from her car. Other cars were swept away. Pictures tell the story there. Flash flooding destroyed several homes and businesses. Cars ended up stacked on top of one another like toy cars. The governor declared a state of emergency for the county. Flash flood watches this mork are posted in parts of pennsylvania and new jersey. Meteorologists are watching a fastmoving tropical system in the sea. Its expected to impact haiti, and the Dominican Republic today and cuba tomorrow. And we have a special message from oprah. Join me tomorrow on cbs this morning. I have a great announcement. What could it possibly be . Talk about a tease. Thats a really good tease. That would be news to me if she was getting married.

Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Int pain. Just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. And i was worried about joint damage. My doctor said joint pain from ra. Can be a sign of existing joint damage. That could only get worse. He prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Tell your doctor if youve been someplace where fungal infections are common or if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for. Heart failure, or if you have persistent. Fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. Dont start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Joint pain and damage. Can go side by side. Ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. Enbrel, the number one rheumatologistprescribed biologic. Good is a catalyst,ue diamond almond. Good is contagious.

What she washed this like a month ago the long lasting scent of gain flings the things that i consume a lot of it is very acidic. The enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. The whiteness wasnt there as much. My teeth didnt look as healthy as others. My dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. So it was really important to start using the pronamel. Itll be one less thing you have to worry about. Pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that im doing the right thing. So its nice to know that its as simple as that. Instagram is taking new action to stop online harassment. Move comes as many celebrities lash out against cyber hate. In march, tia mowry fought back. Ashley graham also called out critics who accused her on social media of looking too thin. And ghostbusters star leslie jones took her frustration public after her twitter account was attacked with racist and sexist tweets. She talked about it with seth meyers. Whats scary about the whole thing is that the insults didnt hurt me. Unfortunately, im used to insults. Thats unfortunate. What scared me was the injustice of a gang of people jumping against you for such a sick cause. Yeah. Dan ackerman, good morning. Instagram has had policies on this for a while, but this is a new thing. Whats new about it . Theyre starting to rollout for high profile accounts, people get a lot of traffic and comments and likes on their post, the ability to put in keyword filters so you can have certain words not show up in comments or turn af comments entirely. Some of these high profile accounts feel like they need that. Twitter has been doing something too, but not everybody can do the same thing. On instagram, theyre starting with the more famous people, the people who have a lot of traffic. Theyll eventually roll that out to other people. For twitter, its a whole other problem. The platforms are intrinsically different. Its hard to think that the same solution that works on one is going to work on the other. Do you agree that everybody has to come up with something . At this point, everyone does need to have plan and be more proactive about it. But you also cant go too far. Its how people get news and information, have this robust back and forth conversation. How do you do that and not turn it into a safe bubble where you dont hear any news or opinions that youre not comfortable with. How do you make it robust without sanitizing it. Thats right. Without making it too scary for people and keeping people from feeling free to participate. Is instagram now the preferred medium for celebrities . Yeah. A lot of brands, a lot of celebrities. Less news right now, especially because they moved to a format thats in a weighted feed where twitter is still very realtime. Including donald trump. Thats right, apparently. And hes making a lot of news on it. Theres got to be some way to find a middle ground. You know, you want to be able to encourage respectful debate, even aggressive debate. Just not hate mongering and sheer nastiness. Its easier on facebook where you have to put your real name and everything like that. On instagram where youre posting a picture and people can leave comments. But its a lopsided conversation. On twitter, thats where its the most difficult. If you tweet something and you quote it, those are all equal weighted pieces of content. You cant pit a filter onto control what youre saying on your twitter feed. What is this becoming . I think its becoming the first place people go to post personal things, but its also increasingly becoming the first place you go to post that sort of few to many conversations where if youre a celebrity or brand, youre promoting a movie. Lets hope for news people like us, because you cant put a long story there with lot of links to your articles, its not perfect for that, yet. But its become the safe place for people to go who get scared off of twitter. You posted about a lot of unread emails and people blasted you. Why . I made a mistake of writing a story for the print magazine and posted about how i ballooned to 120,000 unread emails. It was a story of how we get overwhelmed with unread communication. People felt the need to tell me that. Just declare email bankruptcy and start over. Now down to inbox zero. Is that term of art . Email bankruptcy. Im done, im never going to reply to you. Were going to start fresh. Arent you afraid of missing something important . Anything thats important, theyll call. Thank you, dan. Harry potter comes to life with some popular fans.

Another viewing will be tomorrow, right before his funeral service. Firefighter lee was 42 year old and a 17year veteran of the philadelphia fire department. Now, for the eyewitness weather forecast, heres meteorologist, Justin Drabick in the weather center. Good monday morning everyone, for the most part looking dry, still clouds around, should see few peaks of sunshine, one little shower in parts of southern new jersey and delaware, this hour, but later this afternoon we could see some heavier scattered showers, maybe even few thunderstorms, a lot of humidity around, so that could dump some heavy rain in the localized spot. Very humid today, so it will feel oppressive. Tomorrow, still on the steamy side, humidity leafs begin to back off, will feel much better wednesday and thursday, forecast high up to 88 today for philadelphia, mid 80s at the shore, 70s in the poconos. Temperatures actually take a dive few degrees below average, tuesday and wednesday, we will be in the mid 80s, plenty of sunshine for the middle of the week, heat returns by the end of the week being back to the 90s friday, upcoming weekends, lets get a check of traffic.

Kareem abduljabbar walking through with a big balloon playing with it like a basketball. And then there was bill clinton. Did you see him playing with the balloons . It looked like he was in the chuckie cheese mosh pit. They should have brought in 50 kids. Everyone loves a balloon drop. Even the Bernie Sanders supporters who were angry throughout hillarys speech. When the balloons dropped, they were on their chairs. Everybody likes that. Its like popping the peanuts. Everybody likes to do that. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Norahs office today. Were happy to have john heilemann. I think so. This is our happy face. Charlies pretty good at faking it. Coming up in this half hour anything. What can George Wallace and howard dean teach us about campaign 2016. John dickersons new book shows us how history could be repeating itself in year that seems unpredictable. Also in the toyota green room, he stars in the new drama five nights in maine. David oyelowoyelowo. New pga champ jimmy walker. He is an astro photographer.

Teen usa getting to keep her title despite racist tweets. 18yearold karlie hay was crowned on friday night. Yesterday, she tweeted that she has used the language in the past. Shes not proud of it, she regrets her words. Pageant officials are standing by her. And the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports on bounce and injuries on Trampoline Parks. A new study calls it an emerging concern. They jumped from about 600 in 2010 to nearly 7,000 four years later. An estimated 50 Million People visited Trampoline Parks in north america over the past year. Right now its an emerging concern. And were bouncing out of that. Hillary clinton and tim kaine today will hit the campaign trail separately. They just wrapped up their battleground state bus tour. The tradition started on trains and rolled into nearly every campaign since. John dickerson has covered six president ial contests. Count them, six. His new book is called whistle stop. John is, as you know, cbs news political director and moderator of face the nation. Good morning again. Good morning. Also certified genius. Everybodys got their copies of the book. Its like a reading circle here. [ laughter ] 437 pages. Yeah. Here it is. Youre saying that this is these are the stories that reporters talk at the bar at the end of the day. Right. Because what were doing, were just telling the Great Stories of campaigns right . These wonderful arcs. These moments because theres all of this striving and pressure and quick decisions made in first floor hotel rooms that lead to momentous outcomes and campaigns going up or down. One review called it crack for political junkies. I thought that was a nice way to describe it. This is really a great read. What struck me about the book, theres so many similarities from campaigns past compared to right now. Can you give us a couple kennedy and carter together, George Wallace and donald trump. They dpo all the way back to 1824. I write about Andrew Jackson saying the people should be in charge, not the caucus of the inside insiders. Thats essentially what Bernie Sanders was saying. Donald trump sounded exactly like jackson. You mention kennedy and carter. Huge moment. Hoping to have their unity moment. Last week watching Bernie Sanders, how much was Bernie Sanders going to back Hillary Clinton. It was the same thing they were wondering about Teddy Kennedy and jimmy carter. Kennedy didnt do anything close to what sanders did. And then charter had to chase him around the stage. They tried to choreograph something for sanders. Tip oneal is behind kennedy lifting his arm to make him do the handshake. But are these stories that we should be seeing in the paper and on television and were not because reporters are not telling these stories because whatever . Well, sometimes you dont get these stories until time has passed, or you dont know the outcome. These stories take a little while to marinate in history. Does it also include stories about whos sleeping with whom . Theres not im trying to think youve got that in there. Whos responsible for the two biggest sex scandals. The one that ruins alexander hamilton. Then jeffersons affair with his slave. Hes responsible for the hamilton affair and the jefferson affair. So, yes, theres some sleeping around, charlie. [ laughter ] charlie will now buy the book. We have just gone through two weeks of the most highly staged choreographed events in our political lives, conventions, where everybodys trying to create moments. The moments that always seem to me to be more powerful are the moments that occur spontaneously. Talk about the impact of the staged moment versus the spontaneous ones . Conventions used to be great because there were things at stake. Eisenhower takes on taft. Eisenhower makes this end run and at the convention steals the some people wouldnt say steal, but basically takes the nomination away from taft. Thats exciting in its own terms. The keconservatives who are ang arrange themselves into a conservative bloc that then leads to goldwater, that then leads to reagan. You have these moments also in the arc of a political party. When a group is trying to stop x, put money on x, because that means x is the power of the people. In 1964 theres a stop goldwater movement thats exactly like the stop Trump Movement. Nixon then decides im going to support goldwater. He says if theres ever a stop x movement be with x because it means the people are behind him enough. Talk about wallace. The parallels. People have made the reference between the Trump Movement and the wallace campaign. You go into detail in the book. One of the reasons i go for these stories, is to take a look at whats happening now and clues as to what might be happening next. Wallace, nobody takes him seriously. Lyndon johnson got him to run to take votes away from the republican. Wallace runs on law and order. Were hearing that again. He gets a lot of support in the north. They studied at the time, the communities that liked wallace were the wins right next to the heavily africanamerican communities. A lot of people were worried. Chicago as well as the north. Right. Exactly. And wallace also perfected the dog whistles of the kind we now hear about in politics. Youre talking about one thing didnt nixon use that same theme in 2erterms of lay and or . He did, but he was chasing wallace. The police chief in San Francisco said all these candidates sound like theyre running for sheriff because they were talking about law and order so much. Talking about law and order which appealed to voters worried about the africanamericans in the cities and also the riots having the marches having to do with the vietnam war and the general deisnt gration of the american culture. The name of the book is whistlestop. Theres a post to your book where you want to be on the couch and watch the sun come down. Dedicated to ann, rice, and nan. Im going to give it a kiss on camera. Your mom would be so proud of you. Great book. It goes on sale tomorrow. David oyelowo is joining us next. Hes in studio 57 to explain why hes drawn to stories that dont come easy. Again again again again again . Again again General Mills is removing artificial flavors and colors from our cereals. So you can love cereal. Again those that have gone before us say no more no more that means protest. That means march. That means disturb the peace. That means jail. That means risk. And that is hard. We will not wait any longer. David oyelowo is known for his role as dr. Martin luther king jr. In selma. His new movie is five nights in maine. You look like you havent slept in ages. My wife just died. My child died. My child. I know that. Why do you act so pious . Its a good thing you never had children. Im sure you think that. You would. Dont presume to know me. I can see why she never came here. Oh, she just didnt. Look how that turned out. That wasnt my fault. No . No. I saw how she came back from here. That was you. Boy, David Oyelowo welcome back to the table. Thank you. Youre a producer on this movie, too . I am, i am. I really wanted to see this one made. Because . I think well, its a universal theme. Were ail whether we like it or not, are going to have to deal with bereavement at some point in our lives. Its something as a society we shy away from. When i read the script, its was a beautiful treatment of thing we all go through. Was it a learning experience . It was a learning experience. What drew me to it was also the thing that made me scared of it. Im married to a very wonderful lady myself. When youre an actor, you have to pit yourself in the position of what youre playing. The idea of having to entertain the loss of her was something i didnt want to do. That scene was very powerful. I wondered if you were thinking about her at that moment and what that would do to you, when you get the news that she has died. If youre playing someone like dr. King, youre able to put yourself in their shoes and their experiences. Something like this, you have to feel what it would be like for you. Thats not a pleasant thing, but you have to go through, which is something i chose to subject myself to for the sake of the story. Do you feel like you walked away with lessons about grief and bereavement . I walked away feeling very blessed that my wife is alive. Thats not an easy thing for anyone who has suffered that to go through. What we try to do with the film between myself and diane who plays the mother of my wife in the film is to show how people can heal. And you wanted her for this role, as a producer. Who wouldnt . Twotime oscar winner. Did you think you would get her . No. No. But thankfully the strength of the script was enough. Youve worked for four female directors. Yeah, more actually. I actually had the opportunity to work with foyer female directors in a row. I have three films coming out. I did a film ive got coming out later this year called a united kingdom. Do women direct differently . I would say women do direct differently than men. One of the reasons five nights in maine has the emotional impact it has is due to the fact it was directed by a woman. Films ive been in directed by women are, ive found that even selma, she went for the familial side of things over what a male director would gravitate towards. I think there needs to be a balance. Thats why im a big champion for female directors. Yoiuve spoken out about diversity in hollywood. Have they gone far enough and what else needed to happen in order to solve that problem . I think in terms of the diversity and inclusion issue, we need to go past talking about it and actually just do it. I think the academy is doing that. For me, i actively look for projects that showcase people of color. That to me is doing it. To actively look for female directors as opposed to talking about it. I think if we ail decide to just do it, the change will come. You and your lovely wife became u. S. Citizens two weeks ago. We did. So youll be voting this year. I will be voting. That was a big reason to do it. Also weve made a very real life here. We thought lets go all in. You also cant play dr. Martin luther king in a film about Voting Rights and not be able to vote. We felt we needed to do it. Are you looking forward to voting this year . Sg i am. What are your thoughts about were kind of asking you to share. For me, its a pivotal time in americas history. I think the decision made in november is going to have huge ramifications. Rather than complain about it, you want to be part dont mean to cut you off. We got to go.
