7:07 am
he argued it's circumstantial evidence that points to some kind of understanding between trump and the russian government. podesta said the theft of ten years worth of e-mails from his g-mail account is now being investigated as part of fbi's largest probe into hacks at the dnc. the u.s. intelligence community said on friday it is confident those hacks were directed by the russian government. >> russia's election and their attempt to influence on behalf of mr. trump is, i think, should be of utmost concern to all americans. >> reporter: podesta noted that roger stone appeared to have advance notice of the hack tweeting in august, trust me it will soon be podesta's time in the barrel and telling florida republicans recently that he was in touch with wikileaks founders julian assange.

7:10 am
supporters and he is going to try to punish republicans that are not supporting him. and he is trying to make it as difficult as possible for a president clinton to govern after the election. >> do you see this as a turning point in the campaign? >> i do think so. and i think you see it not only in how donald trump is behaving, but also in how hillary clinton is behaving, because she is now campaigning with the idea of trying to bring as many senators, democratic candidates for senate and the house along with her. and she is preparing to campaign in some states she doesn't need, states like utah might even be in play. >> putting money in those states? >> putting money in those states with the idea of helping down the ballot just as donald trump is making it harder for republicans down the ballot, hillary clinton is now doing everything she can to make it easier to gain control of the house -- of the senate and perhaps even the house on election day. >> his popularity, however, is based on being anti-establishment, running against a very unpopular congress. however, specifically taking on
7:11 am
house, the man he would have to work with hand in hand in order to get stuff done, does it complicate things for mike pence, his running mate? >> i think it does. what is mike pence's brand? a very honorable guy and evangelical christian who has generally not done negative campaigning in his own campaigns. >> but was very close with paul ryan. >> that's right. at an event last night had someone at a town hall say if donald trump loses we should have a he said don't talk like that. this puts pence in a difficult place and we know that he has ambitions down the road. you know? he might be running for president down the road himself. >> have you seen any evidence that the russians tripped off the trump campaign about the e-mails coming up about hillary clinton's campaign? >> we don't have hard evidence but circumstance@evidence including a tweet that roger stone a long time of donald trump said it's john podesta's
7:12 am
happened now in october. >> what does that mean, susan? >> i think one of the most serious things happened in this campaign has gotten not as much attention as it deserves is russian state actors to affect our politics and a extremely serious and it raises questions in some voters' minds the legitimacy of the election. >> i think may signal some kind of retaliation? >> some thought they were holding off in the hopes of making a deal with russia on syria, that has fallen i think increasing signs that the administration may take more severe steps against russia for what it thinks it's doing. >> this year's presidential debate is one week from today and see the coverage right here on cbs next wednesday night, october 18th. a small plane crash into connecticut. a law enforcement source tells cbs news this morning it may have been intentional. the fbi is investigating claims from a flight instructor who survived the crash. he says a student on board may have meant to bring the plane

? it is wednesday, october 12th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning.? more real news is ahead, including early voting now under way in more states. we will look at whether donald trump's new challenges to the voting process could damage our democracy. first, here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. despite that tweet storm, there were moments trump focused on something else. the possibility of losing this election. >> what is trump's strategy? >> he has turned to a strategy where he is going to turn out his core supporters and try to punish republicans not supporting him and make it as difficult as possible for a president clinton to govern.
8:01 am
swept away here and restoring all of that power is going to take some time. >> the united states military has flown in aid to haiti and for some the supplies can't come fast enough. >> president obama taking part in an espn town hall on issues of race, sports, and achievement. >> we all get knocked down in life. the question is how do you respond? >> hillary clinton campaigned in florida today with al gore. >> for those of you who are younger than 25, you might not remember the election of 2000 and what happened here in florida and across the country. >> you're making al gore go back to florida? tha's so cruel! that is like making joe frazier go back to manila! i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. 27 days before the election,
8:02 am
battle on two fronts -- against hillary clinton and his fellow republicans. trump lashed out yesterday at house speaker paul ryan and other republicans. they are distancing themselves from him after a 2005 video showed trump making sexually aggressive comments about women. >> donald trump tweeted yesterday it is so nice the shackles taken off of me and i can fight for america the way i want to. last night trump said the shackles were the weak and ineffective people within the party thf pushed wavering republicans over the edge that is sad. >> donald trump accused the clintons last night at a rally in florida of cashing in during haiti's earthquake in 2009. a freedom of information act request. they show the state department funneled requests from friends of bill clinton referred to as
8:03 am
>> reporter: the requests that trump is referring to came from clinton acquaintances and clinton foundation donors who wanted to help with the relief work in haiti after that devastating earthquake back in 2010. one exchange between a clinton foundation director and the state department, the state department official wrote, i need you to flag when people are friends of wjc. william jefferson clinton. of the heads, rolando is a close friend of the secretary and former president and he is wanting to get folks into haiti to work on electrical issues. the state department official wrote in another e-mail, is this an fob? if not, the person should go to cidi.org. the teams here are overwhelmed. these e-mails do not show whether the offers of help were
8:04 am
suggested. and it's important to point out that back in 2010 it was well documented that the clinton foundation was funneling offers to help haiti to the state department. which was overwhelmed. bill clinton was the united nations special representative for haiti and coordinated the relief efforts there. former president george w. bush was also heavily involved in relief work in haiti. it's unclear whether his friends because those e-mails weren't requested by the republican national committee. >> thanks. in iowa, yesterday, mike pence had to shut down a supporter who really wants them to win. >> if hillary clinton gets in, i, myself, i'm ready for a revolution because we can't have her in. >> don't say that. >> but i'm just saying.

>> the best antidote is be involved in the process. if you're concerned about voter integrity and you haven't signed up to be a poll watcher, to volunteer at a polling place, to be a part of the integrity of that process, then you need to do it. >> donald trump has repeatedly suggested that the election process is rigged. >> what a rig. we are in such a rigged system. it is terrible. and you got to watch you pennsylvania. certain areas. so go and vote and then go check out areas! because a lot of bad things happen. >> we have to make sure that this election is not stolen from us. >> trump has gone further and encouraging his supporters to observe voters at the polls. 39 states have voter challenger laws. they give private citizens the right to challenge the eligibility of voters in person on election day. contributing editor alex wagner

trump's claims and the lasting effect it might have on the democracy in this country. thank you for joining us. >> good to see you. >> reporter: in the article you say voter fraud is nearly 0% in the united states, yet donald trump keeps raising it over and over and the effects could be devastating to this country. >> yeah. i think we talk a lot about the long-term effects of 2016 will be on the american public, right? certainly there is a pervasive are broken and our institutions need overhaul. the notion that the basic act of democracy of casting a vote is no longer fair and that our elections in some ways are no longer free. which is a suggestion we have been hearing from donald trump on the campaign trail as of late. the long-term and even medium-ter effect on our democracy could be profound and not a position that america, which is largely seen as a model democracy around the world. >> profound, how do you think? >> i talk to election watchers who have done this election monitoring around the world and
8:07 am
they say the rhetoric we are hearing from donald trump the election is rigged in advance of the election that is rhetoric you hear from emerging and weak democracies. ironman rhetoric on "the new york times." this is not the norm of american politics and nor is the suggestion that the online trump campaign is doing to sending private citizens out to the polls to wat s their other fellow americans are doing. >> on the other side the stories that the russians are trying to influence. >> absolutely. i think that is adding to this climate of insecurity and fear. however, the evidence is what it is. there are 1 in 15 million cases of voter fraud is statistically zero and doesn't exist as a percentage of the american votes cast.
8:08 am
need to increase voter registration and turnout and all of the rest? >> or does it mean something has changed? >> well, i think that the question of cyber warfare and cyber monitoring is broad and that is a different issue than necessarily donald trump is calling for. private citizens can't do cyber monitoring in person. >> it's heating up as his numbers are dropping. >> i think that is not a coincidence. if things are not going your way, challenge the results. >> one, it is easier to vote in this country early. of the vote will be early. in fact, there are many people believe that florida, north carolina, maybe nevada, ohio, could be decided even before the election. >> sure. >> on the flip side, republicans, for the last six years, have made it harder to vote in person. we now have 34 states that require voters to show some form of identification at the polls. so many restrictions to make
8:09 am
>> conservative legislatures have moved forward these voter i.d. laws and this is reported today in politico. people are saying the rhetoric about the system being rigged is dangerous. there are people on both sides of the aisle that recognize the tenor in american politics that is being driven in this particular moment is not a good one in the long term. >> but the long-term effect, do you think? >> look. if you have a section of one of our two major political parties that no longer believes it matters or is fair when americans turn out to vote the implications are profound. if you have people not participating in the democratic process how do you have a representative democracy? >> i think how it's going to play out, i can challenge anybody who is voting? what are my qualifications? >> we don't want voters intimidated at the polls. that is not a good process and not good activity on election day. >> thank you. >> let's hope for no hanging chads! alex wagner, thank you so much.

life in an espn town hall last night. the president said it's an issue that he and michelle wrestle with. >> my favorite sound bite from michelle about this is, i remember right after malia was born, very early on, a friend of mine called to see if i wanted to play basketball. i said, no, man, i can't, i have to babysit malia. i hung up the phone. she turned to me and said, you know what if it's your own child, it's not babysitting! so i would say to the soon to be dads here, just understanding the level of responsibility and commitment that is required and the things that you have to cut out, because a lot of moms are already cutting those things out. >> mr. obama said he knows that
8:11 am
it's not the political accomplishments that will stand out. what he remembers is, quote, holding hands with my daughters and taking them down to a park. >> don't you like him pointing that out? it's not your own child when you're babysitting. need to send that note to a lot of dads from time to time. >> it is true in the end. >> that will stand out. >> you remember your personal memories of your family. >> good to hear a man sort of talking about what are these universal values that should be adopted. a online movement in response to the tape featuring donald trump's vulgar comments. how the #notokay prompted a huge number of women to share their stories of sexual assault. first, it's time to check

there were so many women that basically -- basically every woman has a story like this. >> this is a powerful moment for us, to understand that and to think about, okay, what do we do next to make sure this doesn't happen to another generation? >> reporter: of course, there was no twitter in 1991 but hill, who is now a professor, says over the year, she has gotten thousands of letters and we were talking about the fact that if you read these on twitter, you can read only so many letters before you have to stop. >> she has a powerful question at the end of your piece. what do we know and prevent it from happening? so many focus on the guy and the effect it has to the women. >> it's an opportunity to keep the conversation going. >> tim tebow has made his much-anticipated debut in the fall league playing baseball. now what happened in the stands. we will be right back. see me.

that parents comments on their children's eating habits will be received as judgments about body weight or character. lisa is a cbs news contributor and here with the best way to start the conversation. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is such an important topic because you want to be able to address your kid' eating habits but, at the same time, you don't want to insult them or say something wrong about their body image. what is the best way to approach it? >> you know, i think this can be more neutral than we can and a few ways to keep it neutral. one, focus on the biological. we can only eat so much in a day so what we eat has to provide that nutrition. if you eat a lot of cookies that will give you energy but doesn't give you vitamins and minerals and all of the things you need to go on. another way to approach it from the context of self-care. how we eat is how we look after ourselves and we need to look at foods that sustain us and not
8:35 am
one, is talk about the broader impact of our food choices, that we can eat an apple, which is relatively kind to the environment, or we can eat a highly processed apple-flavored stack from a factory and a lot of packages and that is harder on the environment. this last one is interesting because when you eat in a way that you feel is good for the environment, you get this immediate gratification and it's gratification that usually has us choosing the less healthy choice and makes it easier to make a healthier choice. >> it sound soil you see a child that is out of control, i have a friend of mine has a very overweight son. i saw her the other day ask him if he wanted another piece of cake. i had to stop myself because it's not my child but i had to stop myself from saying is that really the best thing to do? you're saying don't make any judgments and just say talk about health? >> i think what we can say are you still hungry? right? and have you had nothing but cake today or do you also need something sma or need to eat
8:36 am
>> go back to self-esteem. >> we have a lot of problems around self-esteem. it matters how we talk about food and matters how we talk about appearance and weight. and the general wisdom around talking with children is to avoid conversations about dieting, to avoid comments on weight, and to put our emphasis on eating healthy and being active. >> children are parents' behaviors. usually children eat what parents eat. >> yep. consistently -- >> houston, we have a problem. >> yes. but quality and quantity. kid eat like their parents. >> do what i say, not what i do. >> i didn't do that well, i admit. >> you say actually bringing in the idea of the social justice or what it means for us to do with the environment. it can be motivating.
