7:03 am
>> welcome to "cbs this morning," i'm josh elliot with vladimir duthiers and dana jacobson. charlie rose, norah o'donnell, and gayle king are all off. dangerous surf and flooding as millions celebrate the labor day holiday along the northeast coast. the cyclone is creating dangerous rip currents and storm surges, tropical storm warnings stretch from delaware, all the >> the storm is already blamed for at least two deaths. it hammered several southern states on the way up the coast with strong winds and flooding. jericka dunkin'can is in seasid heights, new jersey. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. seaside heights is painfully familiar with how powerful the storms can be, think back to superstorm sandy. right now it's very windy, but tidal surges later today could
7:04 am
along the jersey shore overnight, hermine whipped up strong waves. at sea, the choppy waters rocked this royal caribbean cruise ship headed from new jersey to bermuda. >> when you see the crew on a cruise ship starting to get dizzy and sick, you know it's gotten pretty bad. >> derrick was one of around 6,000 people onboard the ship during the storm. >> it got pretty wicked, somewhere around maybe 1:00 a.m. the whole body started rocking, people started getting sick, they started distributing vomit bags around. it's been a pretty interesting adventure ever since. >> reporter: the deadly storm made landfall last friday and the category 1 hurricane has already hammered coastal areas, stretching from florida to virginia, knocking out power for hundreds of thousands and causing widespread damage. it's now targeting the eastern
7:05 am
to be out here after today. the next couple days, you don't want to be anywhere near this place. >> reporter: governor chris christie says hermine won't come close to having the same destructive power as superstorm sandy in 2012. still, he's urging people not to take any chances. >> rip currents are going to get fairly aggressive. we don't want to see people have injuries or loss of life because of going into the ocean in dangerous conditions. >> reporter: now, hermine could regain strength later today, but the worst of it here is over as that storm continues to push offshore. >> jericka duncan, thank you. chief weather caster lonnie quinn is tracking the storm's movements and joins us here this morning, good morning. >> good morning to you, good morning to you, everybody. tracking the movements, not much movement. moving at a snail's pace. what you see right here, satellite imagery, looking at the cloud top. i want to show you the 5:00 a.m. numbers from the national
7:06 am
lots to talk about here. first of all, well out to see. 300 miles south of the eastern tip of long island is where you'll find the center of circulation. pretty strong, 74 mile per hour winds would be a cat 1 hurricane strength, so where's it go from here? moving to the north is key, because it had been moving northeast the entire time, and now 11 out of 12 models say this is going to turn to the northwest, maybe more to the west, consequently, the national hurricane center put this cone they do include the wobble back towards shore, never actually making landfall anywhere, only exception would be cape cod and noef scotkoe nova scotia. sunshine for a lot of the folks, but plenty of beaches will be closed. back to you, josh. >> thank you for that, lonnie. meanwhile, president obama is leaving the g20 economic summit with no peace deal in syria and under the cloud of north korea's latest missile
7:07 am
overnight the north fired three missiles that landed in the waters near japan being seen as a provocation aimed at president obama. at the summit in china, the president met with vladimir putin to try to keep syrian peace talks on track. margaret brennan is in hung jo with what is holding up the deal. margaret? >> reporter: good morning. in a 90-minute meeting with vladimir putin, president obama tried to salvage a cease-fire deal in syria, but he's walking away emptyde president obama had hoped to broker a groundbreaking deal with vladimir putin to coordinate air strikes against isis and al qaeda-linked terrorists in syria, but at the last minute russia pulled back. the proposed deal would have stopped their ally, dictator bashar al assad from bombing civilians and u.s.-backed rebels while allowing aid into cities like aleppo.
7:08 am
as the deal fell apart. >> we have had some productive conversations about what a real cessation of a hostilities would look like, but given the gaps of trust that exist, that's a tough negotiation. >> reporter: any alliance with russia would be extraordinary, given their brutal behavior inside syria, but putin's military mite has made him indispensable. the white house is reluctant to use force back-up plan. the mideast crisis overshadowed president obama's main mission here at the g20, to bridge tensions with china, whose aggressive military expansion in asia is rattling nerves. north korea test fired three ballistic missiles into the sea of japan. while the white house strongly condemned the missile test and called it a reckless threat to
7:09 am
behind closed doors p president obama also pressured xi jinping. margaret brennan in china, thanks. hillary clinton and donald trump go to cleveland today for labor day events to kick off the fall campaign. the latest poll shows clinton leading by eight points in pennsylvania and four points in north carolina, but the survey of all 13 battleground states finds trump just two ps behind and 46% of voters say clinton's explanations of her private e-mail servers are getting less believable. nancy cordes is north of new york city where clinton is getting a new set of wings today. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we're taking off shortly, actually. clinton tends to keep her press pack at arm's length, but that's going to be a little harder to do starting today, because they'll be riding along on her new campaign plane. you can see the slogan there,
7:10 am
the campaign logo, the "h" that stands for hillary. if she does take questions today, a lot will be about the fbi's investigation into clinton's server, notes that were released on friday. >> she said it's a mistake and she's learned from it. >> reporter: clinton's running mate repeated the line of defense after fbi notes showed that a clinton computer specialist deleeted a trove of her e-mails last year after a congressional also revealed clinton told agents she couldn't recall getting any briefing or training on how to handle classified information as secretary of state. when presented with a confidential e-mail with the marking "c" next to the top of a paragraph she speculated it was marked in alphabetical order. kaine has this explanation. >> we look at so much material.
7:11 am
difficult to know sometimes whether a statement or paragraph is classified or not. >> reporter: in a tweet, trump went after clinton. lying hillary clinton told the fbi she did not know the "c" markings on documents stood for classified. how would this be happening? the fbi also determined clinton used up to 13 different devices to access her e-mail, including eight blackberries during her tenure, but agents could not examine them because her lawyers were unable to locate any of these devices. donald trump's running mate mike pence. >> it's just more evidence that hillary clinton is the most dishonest candidate for president of the united states since richard nixon. >> reporter: notes indicated she wasn't the only secretary of state weary of e-mails becoming public record. a 2009 e-mail colin powell told clinton, be very careful, i got around at all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data.
7:12 am
powell told "people" magazine last month when he says he only sent clinton a memo a year into her tenure. as to that trump attack and that tweet where he said it shows clinton clearly doesn't understand "c" means classified, he's got his facts wrong, too, because the fbi director said that "c" stood for confidential, not classified. >> thank you, enjoy the new ride. donald trump supporters and opponents are still asking questions about the immigra week. our battleground tracker shows 47% of voters believe trump's immigration plans are the same as they've been all along. 37% think trump is changing and getting easier towards illegal immigrants. major garrett is in cleveland where trump will appear in a few hours. good morning, major. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump for the most part has accomplished what he sought out to do by labor day, made the race competitive. hillary clinton, of course, still leads, but trump has cut
7:13 am
more than half in the recent cbs news battleground survey. even so, trump still faces charges of a muddled immigration policy and those charges are coming from republicans. >> donald trump has made it very clear that a priority of our administration will be removing criminal aliens. >> donald trump is going to get rid of early on the 2 to 3 million criminals that are here illegally in this country. >> reporter: donald trump's advisers have the talking points down on criminal undocumented immigrants, just not the >> if they are criminals, they are going immediately, and we don't know what that number is. we hear anything from 1 to 2 million. >> reporter: nearly 700,000 immigrants in the country have illegally committed felonies or serious misdemeanors. as for the immigrants with no other criminal records, trump's plan? >> donald trump wants to take a deep breath and look where we are in the country then and find out if you can find a humane way to deal with those who remain.
7:14 am
speech, calls it a muddle. >> pivots, then pivots right back, so it's kind of a 360-degree pivot at times. >> reporter: hillary clinton's campaign says immigrant families can see straight through her opponent's cynical ploys and that trump's message is clear, everyone must go. a recent cbs news poll shows more than 60% of voters believe both trump and clinton only talk about issues concerning minorities to gain support. african-american voters, trump traveled to detroit over the weekend. >> for centuries the african-american church has been the conscience of our country. >> reporter: as rudy giuliani defended trump's outreach to minorities. >> for years people say republicans don't reach out to the african-american community. well, he reached out to the african-american community. >> reporter: trump has climbed back into this race, but it's hillary clinton who is expanding
7:15 am
real money in the state of arizona, a place democrats haven't won since bill clinton did in 1996 and before that, josh, we have to go back to 1948. >> major, thank you for that. meanwhile, mark, the chief national correspondent for "new york times" good enough to join us now from washington. mark, good morning to you. we now know 13 different devices perhaps used by hillary clinton, the secretary of state. none recovered. some perhaps destroyed by a information gone missing. a candidate who said she may have been confused early and often about the whole thing. optically, how bad is this for the campaign? >> well, i think the whole thing is a big optical problem. it's a muddle. muddle seems to be the word of the day. i think people have not really bought her explanations from the beginning here. i think unless you have video of hillary clinton taking a sledge hammer to her 13 devices, it's probably not that big of a deal,
7:16 am
her from the very beginning, so i think in so much as these stories keep coming, they are going to be a problem for her. >> mark, you mentioned the distrust. that's what we're seeing in new polling out that a majority think it's becoming harder to believe her explanations, that she's running for office for her own good, not to actually help the american people. it is sort of two-fold, can she get elected with numbers like that? what's it mean for her if she does? >> you can certainly get elected because her opponent's numbers are worse. whoever wins in november is going to face a very challenging landscape, not only politically, but because they are going to come in very, very damaged, because if you see the numbers now, i don't think they'll improve much between now and november. so, obviously, this has been a tough campaign, i think the next couple of months will be just as tough, if not worse, and it's going to be a very, very, you know, sort of dicey thing to watch. look, neither of them, i think, are going to be surprised by
7:17 am
>> mark, let's talk about donald trump's visit to a black church in detroit over the weekend. he said then we need a civil rights agenda for our time. is he really making a pitch for black americans and other minorities where he's gotten historically bad numbers or is there another strategy here? >> i think the fact he's there is significant and i think he will get credit for just sort of showing up in the black community and a black church, which is not something you traditionally see republican nominees for president doing at this stage of the game. that it the the very least an olive branch to the african-american community, especially at a time where the enthusiasm that community has for hillary clinton at this point is very much, you know, it's an open question. we have a story today in "the new york times" about, you know, there is some lack of enthusiasm for hillary clinton, certainly, compared to the first african-american president president obama. so i think at the very least it's an opening for him he's seizing. >> you say that he will get
7:18 am
accomplish anything in that in going to that church? >> probably not significantly. i think, obviously, this is not going to be, you know, a big part of his winning coalition if he were to prevail in november, but again, if you're going to think purely in terms of optics and showing up, you know, this is something for him to, you know, at least point to and say that i'm trying to reach out to new constituencies. he's said he's going to keep going back, so we'll see. for now, i don't think it will hurt him ian >> mark, thanks as always. mother teresa is now officially a saint. pope francis made the declaration yesterday in front of more than 100,000 people. he described the revered nun as a defender of the poor, sick, and abandoned. they watched on big screens, others gathered around her tomb. two miracles were attributed to

that minnesota's innocence was snatched away. >> such a heart breaking story. jamie on the ground for us, thank you very much. public health experts are plau applauding a new fda ban on anti-bacterial soaps. the fda says they could do more harm than good. companies have one year to remove the chemicals or take the our dr. david agus is in los angeles. good to see you. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. >> so what are these commonly used ingredients in these soaps and why is the fda taking this action now? >> so the two most common but 17 others. 9 total ingredients that were removed that represent about 40 of the soaps out there. the bottom line whenever a soap says anti-bacterial or a claim it's one of them. the reason they are doing it
7:37 am
the endocrine in mice. at the same time, there hasn't been shown to be any benefit. so potential risk, i emphasize the word potential, and no benefits so the fda took a stand. >> and so, doctor, one of the leading trade groups here has pushed back, perhaps not unexpectedly, again the claim. the american cleaning institute released a statement that said in part, i anti-bacterial soaps are critical to public health because of the importance hand hygiene plays in the prevention of infection. you mentioned risks with no benefits but what benefits are believed to be present in these soaps? >> washing your hands in soap and water is fantastic and shown to work. several years ago the fda said it's a warning shot. show us the data for us to allow these to be on the market and there really hasn't been any data that there is a public
7:38 am
so without that benefit, they are pushed off the market the next year. >> you saw several years. is there a reason to be concerned if you've been using these soaps you might have some of these impacts? >> no. nobody knows of any direct human health issue with using these soaps. there are potential ones. no benefit of potential ones we take a step back so nobody should panic. now when you go shopping and a claim anti-bacterial, don't buy that one. >> what about hand sanitizers and wipes? the other products in this area? >> that's a great question. as of right now. the fda saying we are looking at data to see if there is benefit to them. again, a warning there but there is no yet study to show that there wasn't benefit there. and there isn't a harm yet. so the fda is going to look at them and we will hear more the next year with regard to the hand sanitizers. >> procter and gamble and johnson & johnson phased out
7:39 am
consumers look for when you're shopping and you want something to clean your hands? what should you be looking at when you look at the label? >> look for soap. soap and water look. we have been using that a long time. yeah. everybody in these marketing claims try to sell it. soap, soap, soap. >> perfect. and simple! >> davr. david agus, thank you. >> holiday is stepping aside from nba to take care of his wife. if you're heading out the door, don't miss us. you can download our all-absence

8:00 am
and good morning to our viewers in the west. it is monday, september 5th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead on this labor day, including the presidential race high gear. we look at the week with nancy pelosi. first, today's eye opener at 8:00. right now, it is very windy, but tidal serges later today could bring flooding. >> we have tropical storm warnings from the delaware coast, to cape cod. keep in mind, sunshine for a lot of these folks, but plenty of beaches will be closed. >> president obama tried to salvage a cease-fire deal in syria, but he's walking away empty handed.
8:01 am
businesslike. and this one was no different. >> clinton tends to keep her press pack at arm's length. that's going to be a little harder to do starting today, because they will be riding along on her new campaign plane. >> people have not really bought her explanations. i think unless you have video of hillary clinton taking a sledge hammer to her 13 devices, it's probably not that big of a deal. dugout and out of play. that's one heck of a catch right there. that is an "a" for effort. that was a very nice grab. show it. >> i'm josh elliot with vladimir duthiers and dana jacobson. charlie, gayle, and norah are off today. hurricane hermine threatens
8:02 am
the storm is moving out to the atlantic, but areas along the coast are feeling its effects. storm warnings from delaware to massachusetts, the cyclone is creating dangerous rip currents and storm surges. along the jersey shore overnight, hermine whipped up strong waves. take a look at that. the rough water also rocked a royal caribbean cruise ship on it way from new jersey to bermuda. everyone was okay and the ship continued its journey. president obama is on his way to laos. the president wanted to groundbreaking deal with russia, ending the air attacks on sifl yans, allowing aid to reach besieged and starving cities like aleppo, but russia backed off at the last minute. when he was forced to exit the belly of air force one, some observers described it as a chinese snub. margaret brennan looks at the increasingly tense relationship now between washington and
8:03 am
>> reporter: good morning. china is tightly controlling this g20 summit and they place lots of restriction on the news media, and ironically, that has made even small disagreements between the u.s. and china more public. every head of state visiting china for the g20 summit was greeted with pomp and circumstance. the moment their plane doors opened, but president obama's arrival did not go the red carpeted stairs were missing, forcing president obama to use an alternate exit typically reserved for war zones. on the tarmac, a chinese minder tried to block u.s. press access, screaming at a white house aide, this is our country, this is our airport. then he yelled at national security adviser susan rice and tried to prevent her from entering the president's motorcade. the secret service had to
8:04 am
rice told a reporter they did things that weren't anticipated. it was a sharp contrast to chinese president xi jinping's visit to washington last september, when vice president joe biden greeted him at the plane door. >> i wouldn't overcrank the significant of it. >> reporter: president obama do downplayed the incident, saying his entourage can be overwhelming for host nations. >> the seams are showing more than usual in terms of some of the nia that takes place. >> if they want to deliver a message to the president, that's not the way they would do it. >> reporter: former principle adviser jeffrey bader said the chinese were not trying to embarrass the president. >> i think it was just very aggressive security people on both sides who push their luck a bit too far. >> reporter: but there is plenty of very real tension behind closed doors. president obama says he's concerned by growing
8:05 am
china's aggressive military expansion and its unfair trade practices. all of that, vllad, has complicated his plans to refocus america's economic and military mite towards asia. >> margaret brennan on the ground for us in china, thanks. meanwhile, hillary clinton and donald trump start the fall campaign today with events in cleveland. trump continued reaching out to african-american voters on saturday in detroit. the latest cbs news poll shows more than 60% of v candidates talk about issues surrounding minorities to gain support. she led trump by an average of more than seven points, now she leads by an average of 3.9%. >> only 7% of voters we spoke to in battleground states think hillary clinton's answers on e-mail servers are getting more believable. the fbi released notes from its interview with clinton on friday. according to the notes, she told agents she could not recall
8:06 am
on how to handle classified information as secretary of state and wrote clinton stated she did not know what the "c" meant at the beginning of paragraphs and referenced it was marking in l alphabetical order. >> lawmakers return to washington tomorrow to tackle stalemates and partisan fights that were put on hold, if only for the summer. nancy pelosi good enough to join us here in studio 57. congr congresswoman, let's start with that letter, c, again, hillary clinton told the fbi she didn't know it stood for confidential. how concerned, then, should voters be that a former senator, a former secretary of state, didn't know what that "c" stood for? >> well, i think they shouldn't be that concerned. i think the secretary of state deals with a large number of issues, 30,000 e-mails we're talking about a few that may
8:07 am
classified, secret, and highly sensitive is where it becomes more problematic, but the fact is, whatever it was that hillary clinton dealt with in that manner had no threat to our security. and i think that too much is being made of this. hillary clinton is as talented and as informed and as knowledgeable a leader as we have seen in our country. i think much too much is being made of this, the top democrat on the intelligence committee for years, for years. this is really much to do about something, but too much. >> but she is, nevertheless, somebody that a majority of the electorate simply has said they do not trust. when she says on 39 separate occasions to the fbi she cannot recall receiving any training with regard to monitoring and
8:08 am
believable is that? >> we're talking about at least 30,000 e-mails. you're talking about 1,000 of that, but you know what, this is a distraction from what we really should be talking about. congress is going into session tomorrow. we have so much unfinished business. in february the president asked congress for resources to fight a national health -- public health emergency, zika, not one cent has been appropriated by hopefully, in this session of congress and this february, congress will honor its responsibility to the american people. open y opiods, we pass bills about it but don't allocate any resources to it. flint, michigan, for a long time the children there have been suffering. we have not yet met the challenge to our conscience on
8:09 am
safety, something that had the votes if they would give us a vote. there's so much unfinished business that directly affects the lives of the american people. that's what we have to get on with. >> you mention zika and the funding in that the last time it was the senate democrats that blocked it. what needs to happen to have a bipartisan agreement on zika funding? >> wasn't the senate democrat that is blocked it, it was the insistence on the part of the republicans that zika, which is a sexually transmitted call it, can be, yes, is and that they are saying whatever we do, we can't have any resources that go for contraception. it's ridiculous. first of all. second of all, the republicans were putting forth much less than the president asked for. so the fact is, is that for ideological reasons, whether
8:10 am
finish research, anything that has to do with reproduction, they have decided you cannot, you cannot use any resources for family planning or contraception. >> but it feels like this is where people get frustrated with government, that we need funding to go towards zika, how do you get a compromise then between the two parties? >> we've also been able to compromise any number of times and so we're saying, come up with what you have. whatever it is, something. but don't say go use ebola funds. no, we need the ebola funds for ebola. we've taken the ebola funds, that's the only way we have been able to do any research for all the preechbs and the rest is taking money from something else. but you have a situation -- this takes you to the difference between the democrats and republicans. republicans are there for the wealthiest people, trickledown
8:11 am
now you're going to balance the budget by not allocating resources to what we need. that's what the election is about. it's about how we invest in the american people. i always say to them, show me your values, show me your budget. if your budget is one that sends tax cuts to the wealthiest, it will trickle down, versus investment in the future of our education, our infrastructure, and our good health of the that's a debate that we have to have with the american people. and we should be focusing on these campaigns on issues that affect people in their lives. >> leader pelosi, let me ask you, let's go back to hillary clinton and her e-mail, because that is something a lot of people are talking about right now. the fbi reports said the specialists used a program called bleach bit to delete an unknown number of e-mails after the house committee investigated
8:12 am
produce the relevant e-mails. a lot of people are saying this is going to the perception in some cases hillary clinton plays by her own rules and is above the law in her own mind. >> i don't subscribe to that, but i do agree with you that some people have that perception. but what we have to do is labor day is here, it's time for the campaign to begin. what does this mean for the future of our country? we have a choice between two candidates. there's nothing that donald trump has said, whethert' muslims or mexicans to use his words, that republicans in congress don't say all the time. so we have to simplify what is the choice that the american people will have. not to get bogged down in some technicalties about whom -- about e-mails that have not had an impact on our national security. we're big on security.
8:13 am
smart and strong and tough, security for our economy that's about the middle class and not the wealthiest people. and a democracy. >> thank you, i don't mean to interrupt you, we're out of time. 63 days until that general election. >> great campaign and the american people have to be the winners. >> thank you. a new musical is generating oscar buzz even before it hits theaters. plus, recent news stories could become blockbusters. ........... mother nature working hard on this holiday to cool us down in the desert. ............. it feels a little like fall out there this morning and there are still some breezes around. they will generally be out of the west today. ................ there could be a little smoke at times moving into the valley so clark county has issued the air advisory through today. ............. the cooler air filtering in behind a cold front over the weekend broke down those hot

the national park service is celebrating hits 100th birthday all year. so happy birthday again. one of its many protected animals, the bison, was recently designated by congress as america's first official mammal but not lopping ago, the iconic symbol of the american frontier nearly disappeared altogether from the landscape. mark strassmann went to yellowstone national park to see the remarkable comeback story of one truly wild herd. >> reporter: few places make you feel in this world like yellowstone. its timelessness spreads to the horizon. here is where the bear and the antelope play, but the bison dominates. you're looking at what may be the last free ranging pure bred herd of wild bison in america. >> look at the belly of bison.
8:44 am
you can get what this part of the country looked like in the early 1700s and early 1800s and it's a treasure. >> reporter: dna wenk is the superintendent at yellowstone national park. bison roam its 2.2 million acres, an area nearly as big as rhode island and delaware combined. but little about scale impresses america's largest land animal. a mature bison bull stands six feet tall and can weigh more than a ton. >> that is formidable. not being fullbacks like to approach that line. >> reporter: so imposing, yet, they almost disappeared. how dire did it get? >> in yellowstone national park there were less than 25 animals. it is one of the greatest wildlife conservation stories in the history of the united states. >> reporter: here is where this conservation comeback is so remarkable. in the 1800s, as many as 60 million bison were hunted nearly

side of how the west was won. the american bison, the symbol of the great plains, once roamed from nevada to mississippi. but in the 1800s, pioneers pushed west. bison were in the way. tens of millions were killed by cattle ranchers, homesteaders and u.s. troops and sport hunters shot bison from moving trains. as the animals disappeared, so d who, for centuries, had relied on bison for food, clothing, shelter, and tools. >> we don't call them bison. we call them buffalo. >> reporter: because? >> we think of them as bison as a white man term. >> reporter: montana rancher irvin carlson blonelongs to the black feet tribe and represents 60 tribes who believe bison have
8:46 am
tribes. we survived on them. they took care of us. >> reporter: what was the great buffalo slaughter really all about to you? >> if you got rid of the buffalo, consequently, you get rid of the enemy. >> reporter: by 1883, nearly all bison were gone. congress even sent soldiers to yellowstone to protect the final survivors from porchers. conservists including president teddy roosevelt, intervened to protect and restore the population. roughly 5,000 bison live at yellowstone today. this comeback story, how improbable was it? >> it was really the first effort to restore what could have been an endangered species. >> reporter: rick wollan the park's chief biologist oversees a unique herd. >> you can't see this kind of abundance anywhere else. >> reporter: most of america's roughly 500,000 bison today are managed as domestic livestock
8:47 am
cattle, not yellowstone's herd. >> yellowstone bison truly represent the ecological and drive the species. about as good as it gets. >> reporter: nearby ranchers have killed them thinking they spread a disease harmful to pregnant cattle. inside the park is grazing limits. every year the herd has to be reduced by about 10%. several hundred get sent for processing to tribes which distribute the hides and meat. when you see these guys, make you feel good? >> it does. >> reporter: the current approach seems to satisfy no one, including irvin carlson, who also belongs to the bison management coalition. he says these animals should
8:48 am
or be returned to what he calls indian country. >> they are wildlife. they have belong to the land. they belong to the land. they are part of the land. >> reporter: they are also part of yellowstone's future. >> i think there is a middle ground. we can get more bison on the landscape, we can diminish to eliminate the fear of the spread of the disease and we can honor the cultural significance of bison for the native american community. >> reporter: think of it as a way of making peace with the for "cbs this morning," mark strassmann, at yellowstone national park. >> phenomenal. >> that is phenomenal. >> they are regal animals. >> it's also very stark when you see in mark's piece that image, that picture from the 19th century of all of those skulls and carcasses of all of those bison and now this. >> and undoing of the damage in the past maybe?
