so this is quite a lengthy statement we just got from walter reed medical center. you parts of it. this answers a key question that we did not know the answer until this point. why was austin in the hospital to begin with? so i will read part of this here. there was positive identification of prostate cancer earlier in the month. he went in on december 22nd, just a few weeks ago, for a minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat and cure prostate cancer. he was under general anesthesia during that procedure and was then released the following morning. so this is december 23rd. he recovered uneventfully from his her jewelry and returned home the next morning according to the statement. the cancer itself was detected early, and his prognosis is good. one week later or so, on january 1st, the hospital says he was experiencing nausea with severe abdominal, hip and leg pain. the initial evaluation revealed he had a urinary tract infection. on january 2nd, the decision was made to transfer him to the icu for close monitoring and a higher level of care. further evaluat

reed.h the roads have been the only thing that's been hot but it's going to be good to be back in the relatively balmy temperatures of 25-degrees in new york city. coming up on cbs mornings a follow-up to eight year cbs news investigation that expose dangerous car seat safety issues as particularly dangerous for kids. and autosafety regulators have missed the deadline to fix the problem and it kills dozens of children every year. and estimated one per week. kris van cleave went looking for answers and found some too. >>> plus anthony mason always delivers with the music stories and today only on "cbs mornings" announce the newest inductees into the songwriters' hall of fame. >>> and one of the songwriters is going to join us also. award-winning actor clive owen is going to be here to talk about playing the legendary detective sam spade in his new limited series. here's my french. monsieur spade. basically sam spade goes to southern france and it's very, very good. all that and more at 7:00.

>> reporter: reed, good morning. certainly one way that he will be remembered for the way that he brought the community together. and of course this is never easy but it has been quite some time for oakland and the police department to deal with a loss of an officer. they have not had something like this in more than a decade. so officer tuan le is the 54th officer to be killed in the line of duty in the history of opd. and this feels like it will be one final chance for the community to say good-bye after mourning him for more than a week now. now this all happened late last month when he was working undercover and responding to a burglary at a cannabis business. that's when he was shot and later killed. today he's going to be remembered as a devoted husband who cared deeply about the community and someone with a big smile who was known for his kindness and the positive change he brought to others around him. born in vietnam he moved to oakland in 2001 and he would later graduate from the police academy in 2020. off

i'm here to echo what we have heard from senator schumer and reed. we are nearly two years into this war in ukraine and despite all that the russian missiles that have been fired, all of the barbaric attacks, ukraine continues to stand. i had the opportunity on friday to visit a refugee center in new hampshire. i met with several ukrainians, women who are here and one woman was verynkful that she had been allowed to go back to the funeral of her brother who had died in the war. another woman and her children were from mariupol and they talked about the horrors at the end of the siege in mariupol. putin isn't just waging war against ukraine. he is targeting the very foundationf democracy around the world and make no mistake, this war seems like a long way off for so many people in the united states that this is about what happens here in america as well. i have four grandsons. i don't want two or three years or five years from now to see my four grandsons had to go off to fight a war in europe or asia because we didn't take the action that we should b

reed? >>> all right, look life this morning in oakland where police have worked hard to make arrests in the murder of one of their own. since the killing of officer twan lee. police have held their collective breath but listen do this moment when they got to exhale. >> just want to advise everybody that the killer of officer twan lee is in custody. >> told all the officers that have been working since that night and dispatchers, thank you everybody. >> that's the sound of gratitude and relief not only for police, but the entire hurting community of oakland. police tell us to catch accused killer they made more than a half dozen arrests. now let's talk about the suspected triggerman. mark sanders. 27 years old. arrested early tuesday morning in livermore and now facing first degree murder and other charges. his life intersecting with the life of a public servant in a tragic way that will now lead him through the courts and prosecutors hope eventually to prison. the prosecutors will have to m

the commander at walter reed certainly knew he was there. his protective detail, secretary austin's protective detail, certainly knew where he was. so i think there's clearly a serious lapse in reporting, and the reporting responsibilities that i'm sure the pentagon is going to police up. >> but with all due respect to that, i mean, i don't think anyone is concerned about the level of medical care. walter reed is among the best places that someone could go, that's where president trump went after he got covid-19. but the concern that the president himself wasn't told that his defense secretary, and i understand there are people who say elective procedure, you have a right to your privacy, but when the defense secretary goes by ambulance to the hospital, and he's in the icu, do you believe that maybe the public maybe you don't believe has a right to know, but maybe the president himself, the national security adviser, do you believe they should have been told? >> no, i agree with you completely. this should have been reported. i don't think i

senator reed, can we get your reflections. if i could also to answer fairly easy question, would we get a ukraine supplemental? >> i believe we will get the ukraine supplemental because i think that the majority of my colleagues, particularly my colleague senator fisher understands how critical it is not just to ukraine, to our position in europe keeping nato countries and other countries together with us but also very -- i would rather send resources than young americans and if we communicate that effectively, then we will. what you're seeing now is politics that has changed dramatically since president reagan's day. social media has disrupted what used to be the, you know, the factual purveyors of news and converted into something that is whatever you think is true is true and that protects us just as it affects the entire society but i think that we have to make the case and i believe that the vast majority of both senators and republican members of the house and democratic members understand that we have to do this and our

let's bring in ralph reed, founder and chairman of the faith and freedom coalition. to have you here today. we want to dig into what you are seeing on the ground in iowa and nationwide as we highlight the des moines register poll, done over a month ago, the most recent we have as far as support among iowa evangelical gop caucus-goers, 51% support donald trump, 25 points above desantis, haley is down there at 12 and ramaswamy at 5. "new york times" has this headline, just a couple days ago, ralph. trump's connecting with a different type of evangelical voter. they are not just the church-going conservative activists who once dominated the gop. so, who are they, ralph? >> yeah, i saw that times piece. i think that's probably a little overdrawn. there is no way you are leading in the iowa caucuses by 25 points and only getting infrequent church attenders. over 150 faith leaders endorse him, ministry leaders and amazing to look at what a contrast this is from the first time trump ran in 2016. you remember in the iowa caucuses then, cruz got about one out of every three e

happy to hear he is in good condition, still at walter reed, however, and moved out of the icu.ng peter doocy at the white house and what kind of response from them, this is likely going to be scrutinized quite some time. >> john: some question who authorized the strike on thursday if the secretary of defense was in the hospital. according to the pentagon folks, authorized before the hospitalization and the centcom commander knew. general, when you hear the circumstances of this, particularly, that the secretary of defense's chief of staff had the flu and that's why he didn't pick up the phone and notify either the white house chief of staff or the national security adviser, what do you make of that? >> yeah, john, look, this is a mess any way you want to call it. fact of the matter is, a huge mistake by everybody at the defense department and needs to be accountability. people sleep well at night here in the united states of america because they trust, they have confidence in the military leadership and the civilian control of the military leadership and this is a great example

walter reed, there was nowhere else to go and this is the conversation i've had with myself and anybody that allows -- or they're unable to di dress their depression, they start to have conversations with themselves about self-harm. and things continue to kind of tick off the list. and then i kind of hit the emergency brake to really go further along, was, like, i can't be -- i can't be a blueprint for my children. i can't let them be left alone or not to understand why he would have done that earlier in the year, two friends of mine -- one had a stroke, and the other one had a bad heart attack, and they both have young children and they took their lives. and it was very devastating, and not because they were weak or i was strong or whatever it was just i got lucky. and i knew i needed help i didn't know what that really looked like, but it was presented, and i reluctantly kind of -- oh, no, i don't need to go in there but figured out, yes, this was the right choice, and that's where i ended up >> i know this is so hard to talk about, but just to be clear about what you're saying, you'r

that was at least three full days after secretary austin had been sent to walter reed this means that the white house simply did not know in real time that the secretary of defense had undergone surgery under general anesthesia and hospitalized because of complications all while there were some very serious national security matters before the white house. now, the white house is making it pretty clear and they acknowledge that clearly there were some issues and problems with the lack of transparency here. one question that i just asked in the white house press briefing was whether now that the president does know what the medical condition is that secretary austin was being treated for, whether he believes that he should have been afforded the privacy to keep that detail private. this is what he said. >> nobody at the white house new that secretary austin had prostate cancer until this morning. the president was informed. the president believes that transparency with the american people is important. he knows being a public figure for his entire life and as a public figure, you have

you soak, i soak the reed , the reed is inside, no, it’s right here and it’s amazing, i haven’t seenis it, that is, separate from... the saxophone reed, yes it is secured with something like this special one all saxophonists have a typewriter, so of course without it there’s no way why won’t he play? we want to hear how you play? don't give us this pleasure, come on. it’s amazing, how do you even get so much air, it’s very difficult, i didn’t think there would be enough, usually i say, no i tried it, and i just took it for the first time, no, actually, i just passed the exam, and i didn’t know that i could do it, because it was a podcast. of course, i would like to introduce the next wonderkind , who, who, who, who, nicole plieva, let 's watch a video about you, maybe there in the night courtyards, in the attics in dusty chandeliers, in boarded doors, in damp basements, in our feelings , in the closets, those where rubbish was dumped, but it was clear to her that it was cramped there, she grew in all corners. everything must have gone haywire this is just nonsense, an accumulation of

reed? >>> so let's take those roads and get you to the mountains now for the avalanche aftermath after we learned a bay area man lost his life at palisades tahoe. that avalanche happening in a flash sending tons of snow rumbling down the mountainside and emergency workers scrambling and some hurt and others knocked off their feet. >> reporter: officials here in palisades tahoe have identified the victim who was killed in that avalanche. they say he was 66-year-old kenneth kid and he's from both point reyes as well as the truckee area. now snow like this has been coming down all day ever since this avalanche happened. a terrifying moment on the slopes caught on camera. skiers calling for help attempting to dig out multiple people buried in a 150-foot wide avalanche at the palisades tahoe ski resort. felt low skiers unable yet to help filming the scene from the above ski lift. >> i saw it when i was going up the chair and then as i came around, anybody that was off the chair, we just all got

mysterious hospitalization at walter reed national military medical center, which went unannounced for days. well, he's now out of the icu. the pentagon just said they don't have a release date yet for him, and there are big questions tonight now that we know the white house and even his deputy secretary of defense were kept in the dark about this medical emergency. cbs's david martin has new reporting from the pentagon. >> reporter: president biden said today he has full confidence in lloyd austin, but his aides did not hide their displeasure that the commander in chief was not told his secretary of defense was in intensive care on new year's day. >> i think there's an expectation that when a cabinet official becomes hospitalized, that that will be notified up the chain of command. >> reporter: the pentagon acknowledged today the chairman of the joint chiefs, austin's chief of staff, and his spokesman all knew on january 2nd the secretary had been hospi hospitalized, but waited for two more days before telling the white house. austin had been at home recovering from an elective medica

if we need them to take him to walter reed medical, is that a possibility? >> let them know when they get there. i'm noting all this in the call. >> reporter: the 911 call adds to questions about why president biden did not find out about austin's hospitalization for three days. neither did his deputy, who had taken over austin's duties while she was on vacation in puerto rico. despite calls for austin's resignation, the president says he's not considering firing him. >> do you have confidence in secretary austin? >> i do. >> was it a lapse in judgment for him not to tell you earlier? >> yes. >> reporter: tonight the pentagon has not responded to our request for a comment about that 911 call. the inspector general, though, continues to investigate why it took austin so long to disclose his hospitalization. norah. norah. >> weijia jiang at the white -we're done. -what about these? looks right. nooo... nooo... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty absorbs spills like a sponge. and is 2x more absorbent so you can use less. we all know tthat words have power.r
