7:04 am
she had a good night's sleep. she just got dehydrated yesterday. >> is that what happened, she got dehydrated? >> yeah. yeah. >> when you look at that collapse, that video that was taken, you wonder if it's not more serious than dehigh dre. >> no. she's been -- well, if it is, it's a mystery to me and all of her doctors. frequently -- not frequently, rarely but on more than one occasion over the last ma many years the same sort of thing has happened to her when she got severely dehydrated. she's worked like a demon, as you know, as secretary of state and as a senator and in the years since. >> but more importantly she's on a grueling campaign. >> yeah. >> if anybody is concerned, you should be the one. >> yeah. >> if anybody should tell us exactly what's going on, you're the one. >> i was glad -- today she made a decision, which i think was
7:05 am
day. >> right. >> to take one more day to rest, but she looked like a million bucks this morning. i can tell she's feeling a lot better. >> she has pneumonia. >> yeah. >> sometimes that can take a while, the recovery. >> it can. >> is it possible that she will be away for weeks from the campaign trail? >> no. not a shot. i'll be lucky to hold her back another day. >> but the question is also why not because of these questions release every possible medical a concern out there because people saw that video. >> well, they -- the campaign said they were going to release some more medical information. i don't know what it is. >> wouldn't you encourage her to release everything? >> we have. she encouraged them. she said, let's release more. >> why not and why not do it yesterday? >> i -- i don't know the answer to that. i'm not involved in it. >> you don't? >> no. >> you are encouraging her to release everything? >> yeah.
7:06 am
down from outer space and watched america unfold over the last six to eight weeks, it would be hard to see all of these earnest pleas for disclosure which are entirely one sided. we also released 40 years of income tax information, almost 40 years. >> people are demanding that donald trump release his income tax returns all the time, you know, and he -- >> but nowhere near the same kind of story. you know, we'll see. i don't know if he's going to or not but -- >> he also said he's going to release his medical records. that would put more pressure to release, would it not? >> first of all, it would be refreshing if there were one thing in life where he would disclose more than she has, but i don't think there is, not even one. >> there is also this, people say between a cough that she had and having to take medicine for that and now the discovery, that this has made her health a campaign issue. >> they think everything is a campaign issue.
7:07 am
underlying indicators from blood pressure to amount of exercise to everything else means it's almost certain she's in better health than her opponent, but we don't know because he hasn't disclosed. >> but if he does, she would be forthcoming immediately? >> she hasn't been not forthcoming. she's already disclosed much more health information than he has. i saw the interview with his doctor, i'm sure you did, too. so let's get a little serious here. they'll do the right thing. she's going to be fine and they'll do the right thing. >> how isr people look at you and they worry about you. >> because i have lost weight. >> you've lost weight. he's a vegan. can you assure people that you feel good, that you're in good health, and any questions about your health? >> no, not to my knowledge, and i just had a physical not very long ago. and i passed with flying colors. i -- nothing i can do about the fact that i am now the oldest
7:08 am
great-grandfather lived to be 76 and i have lots of, you know, medical advantages over him. the state of health care, treatment so i feel great. every day i feel great. i just get up and hit it. >> get up and hit it. all right. we will have more of charlie's conversation with former president bill clinton throughout the broadcast. at 7:30 what he thinks about donald trump and why he believes this race is so close. and suggests, hillary clinton's failure to reveal her diagnosis for two days is once again raising questions about transparency in her campaign. the candidate said she didn't think her pneumonia would be a big deal until she staggered into her car during sunday's 9/11 memorial service. nancy cordes is in chappaqua, new york, where hillary clinton is resting for a second day. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. clinton acknowledged in a phone interview with cnn last night that her dizzy spell on sunday
7:09 am
to her a couple of times before when she has gotten dehydrated, but she shrugged off the notion that her decision to initially keep her pneumonia diagnosis to herself signals a lack of transparency. >> i just didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal. >> reporter: in the eight-minute interview from her chappaqua home, she described what led her legs to buckle underneath her as she was led into her van at ground zero. >> i could feel how hot and humid it was. i feltve my balance for a minute, but once i got in, once i could sit down, once i could cool off, once i had some water i immediately started feeling better. >> reporter: she said she has talked to her staff about the time it took to inform the public. >> in retrospect, we probably could have released more information more quickly. >> reporter: clinton press secretary brian fallon. >> was there a discussion among your communications team on friday about whether or not to
7:10 am
>> secretary clinton, you know, i think that she felt that this is a common thing that people have in terms of pneumonia. a lot of people will work through things like this. >> reporter: clinton rejected suggestions that she had been too secretive. >> you know, compare everything you know about me with my opponent. i think it's time he met the same level of disclosure that i have for years. >> reporter: her supporters rallied to her defense. new york senator chuck schumer who was with clinton zero disclosed he, too, was recovering from pneumonia. and vice president joe biden, campaigning for clinton in charlotte, said there is nothing for voters to worry about. >> hillary's health is good. i've had pneumonia. i don't know about any of you. walking pneumonia. what you do is you take antibiotics and you rest a little bit. >> reporter: wise advice that clinton admits she ignored. she said she was told by her doctor to rest for five days
7:11 am
going to be cutting that a bit short and returning to the campaign trail tomorrow. >> thank you very much, nancy. donald trump is not using hillary clinton's health to attack her, he's using her words instead. trump hammered clinton last night for saying half of his supporters could be put in, quote, the basket of deplorables. major garrett is in asheville, north carolina, where some trump voters spoke up for themselves. major, good morning. >> good morning. donald trump knows hillary clinton's health is now an issue, and for his part it's going to release more thursday on the dr. oz television show. trump has also instructed his own supporters across the country not to attack clinton on this issue but he's more than willing to pound clinton for her generalization that at least half of trump's supporters are bigots. donald trump gave hillary clinton a pass on her health betting curious reporters and voters will not. >> i just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail. >> reporter: trump spared
7:12 am
comments that bigotry motivates half of his voters. >> how can you be president for so many people? she talks about people like they're objects, not human beings. >> reporter: but trump did not do all the talking in north carolina, he brought supporters on stage to testify and subtly assail clinton. >> my wife and i represent non-deplorabe people. >> do i look deplorable? >> she was wrong to generalize about trump's supporters. >> she called these americans every name in the book. >> reporter: but stood by the suggestion trump has emboldened racist voices, among them louisiana republican, david duke, a former grand wizard of the kkk. trump's running mate pushed duca way but stopped short of describing him as deplorable. >> we don't want his support and we don't want the support of people who think like that.
7:13 am
business, wolf. you know me better than that. what hillary clinton did friday night was shocking. >> reporter: trump has also used negative stereotypes against millions of americans. right after his campaign started trump observed that 50% of the country doesn't want to do any work at all and the other half of the country, he said, is tired of carrying them. >> major, thank you so much. mark leeb bow vish is chief national correspondent and a cbs he is with us at the table. good morning. >> hi, norah. >> you heard hillary say this was not going to be a big deal. she could power through it. is that the issue or is it an issue of transparency? >> i think it's an issue of transparency. i think this is a health issue many people could identify with. powering through could be seen as admirable. unfortunately as happens many times especially in this campaign more has been made of it because the clintons have
7:14 am
for control of information and ultimately it looks like they're hiding something which is never a good look. >> how much are voters supposed to know about a candidate's health issues? if she thought she could power through and it's no big deal, what's wrong with knowing about this? are we supposed to know everything that goes on in a candidate's life? >> what do the rules say, mark? >> i wish we could refer to one. it would be easier. we would have less to talk ab clintons have been in. she used the phrase zone of privacy. this goes back about 20 years. it's a negotiation that's been constant, tenuous. has only gotten more complicated. >> don't you think it's noteworthy that president obama's white house secretary said yesterday, quote, there's a reason we have had a long tradition in this country of individual candidates disclosing information about their health. we are electing someone to the most powerful job in the world and there shouldn't be a double
7:15 am
clinton but donald trump should both be open and transparent about their health. >> david axelrod, back to your point about an obama advisor said it's a matter of stealth, not health. >> this shouldn't be that complicated. it's not even a double standard. there should just be a standard. >> there is a standard because robert gibbs, another democrat as they all seem to be breaking ranks also said, look, there comes a time when a protective media pool needs to be a part of a candidate's daily life. there is a standard and it's letting the media be with you essentially 24/7 at this point in the campaign. >> right. this is an election which rule after rule, unwritten rule after unwritten rule has been broken. you know, in many, many cases by donald trump. in some ways this is emblematic of him being in the head maybe of the clinton world or also of many people watching this campaign. you see her having a coughing fit in cleveland last week. all of a sudden your mind jumps. even before it turned into -- one's mind jumps to this has
7:16 am
it will be a big headline. >> donald trump hasn't said anything. do you find that surprising? he's attacked her before. he's saying to people, look, layoff. >> the second this thing happened someone went into his office and stole his phone, which, you know, seemed to work. he's been pretty restrained and who is it, james corden said what's wrong with donald trump. maybe that's the issue. >> mark leeb bow viwitch, a temporary cease-fire appears to be holding this morning. secretary of state john kerry tells our margaret brennan this is the assad regime's final chance. >> a violation. what would make you walk away? >> it depends when -- it depends when it were to occur. if the assad regime later on decides to break this, that's our last shot. there will be other alternatives available to other countries and ourselves and those have to be determined in the future, but we're not --
7:17 am
estimates the syrian conflict has killed more than 300,000 people. elizabeth palmer is in damascus with today's unfamiliar scene in the war torn country. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in the early hours of the cease-fire there were some minor violations reported, but by dawn calm seemed to be reining across the country. just before the deadline president bashar al assad made a rare appearance in the damascus suburb of retaken by the syrian army three weeks ago. while he was there he vowed he would retake the rest of syria that was still in the hands of the terrorists. but the fact is what they're looking for is a stalemate and all sides are exhausted and over stretched. the cease-fire if it holds will provide some respite from the terrible carnage, but it will allow a flood of aide to reach
7:18 am
indeed, we've just heard that the very first aide trucks have crossed the border from turkey into northern syria. gayle. >> thank you very much. elizabeth palmer in syria. u.s. air force sent a powerful message overnight to korea with planes capable of carrying out nuclear strikes. two b-1 lancers flew over north korea days after the second nuclear test this year. they came within 75 miles of the border between the two countries. the bombers were escorted by u.s. and south kn jets. the ncaa is moving high profile games from north carolina because of the state's so-called bathroom law. seven events will be held in other states including early round games of the march madness basketball tournament. the state's hb 2 law limits protection for transgender people. it requires those in public buildings to use restrooms that match the sex on their birth certificate. and in our next hour, the president of the ncaa, emeritt

? ? let's go ? good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, september 13th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including the ncaa joining others protesting a controversial north carolina law. seven sports events are going elsewhere. but first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. >> she shrugged off the notion that her decision to initially keep her pneumonia to herself signals a lack of transparency. >> almost certain she's in better health than her opponent, but we don't know because he hasn't disclosed. >> you understand also how they're saying look, this is an example that the secretary of state, a nominee of the democratic party, is not forth
8:01 am
his party, constructed his own supporters across the country not to attack clinton. >> trump hasn't said anything. you find that surprising. >> it is as if the second this thing happens, somebody went into his office and stole his phone, which seemed to work. he's been pretty restrained. >> in the early hours of the cease-fire, there were minor violations reported. but by dawn calm seemed to be reigning. >> colin kaepernick greeted the new nfl season with a familiar pregame protest. >> i could hear a few were screaming kaepernick, why don't you stand up. >> researchers believe they recorded the first conversation between a pair of dolphins which consists of sentences of up to five words. the first sentence recorded was be cool, this dude's listening. i'm norah o'donnell. gayle king and josh elliott of our streaming network, charlie is on assignment. hillary clinton is off the
8:02 am
pneumonia. in a telephone interview, clinton was asked why she waited two days until she got overheated at a 9/11 ceremony on sunday to reveal the diagnosis. >> well, i just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal. it is just the kind of thing that if it happens to you, and you're a busy active person, you keep moving forward. >> former president bill clinton will step in for some of his wife's campaign events as she recovers. president yesterday in new york ahead of his family foundation's final clinton global initiative conference. he asked the former president about the appearance of conflicts of interest between the clinton foundation and the state department while his wife was secretary of state. >> i bent over backward to make sure there was no conflict of interest or appearance of conflict of interest. we reached an agreement with the white house before hillary became secretary of state about how all donations would be
8:03 am
would be run. and i've been working for almost a year now trying to determine what more we need to do. i said the other day, if she wins, i'll resign from the foundation board, won't raise any money, we won't take any foreign money, nor will we take any american corporate money. >> i know you said that, but some people when they hear you say that say, why not do it now? why not say from now on, not whether she's elected president, accept any -- and i'll resign from the board and we'll see. >> because there is nothing wrong with what i'm doing. because i've got to wind it down. because it takes time to undo this. we got a lot of lives on the line. >> i think people recognize the clinton foundation has done a lot of good work. a lot of good work. and has spent millions of dollars. number two, they recognize that clinton -- >> mr. trump i think called it a criminal enterprise.
8:04 am
public, the people that talk about these things. they also recognize the clinton global initiative has been a gathering of people here in new york and other places to talk about how to solve problems. that's a very different issue, those two things. you can recognize that and still say, well, there have been instances where people have called members of the foundation and said, we would like to be at a meeting, we would like to have a meeting with the secretary of state. has that happened? >> well, you know, from the e-mails what has and hasn't happened. i think you know what the state department said. there were two instances i read about, one of which the person didn't get what they wanted, and the other with the request had gone through ordinary state department channels anyway. now, that's what i read about. and that can't happen anymore. >> do you believe and understand that some people, the optics weren't good and it had the
8:05 am
>> i believe that people who know each other, call each other all the time, all i know is what i read in the paper. they saw -- the papers indicated there was a presumption and a suspicion if hillary gave a meeting to the -- without bothering to call to find out the facts. mohammad eunis won the nobel associated with the clintons. >> and what happened. >> none of them get an opportunity to participate in a meeting or an opportunity to meet -- >> first of all, meetings are set up all the time. members of congress do that all the time. members of the white house do that all the time. but the state department has said conclusively and has offered documentary proof insofar as they exist that nothing was ever done for anybody because they were contributor to the foundation. nothing. >> you were saying with respect
8:06 am
might have taken place, with the foundation, any access to the secretary of state? there is nothing to apologize for, nothing happened, no consequences, and we have been as transparent as we should and can. is that what you're saying? >> i believe, first of all, we have been as transparent as we can be, and we have been more transparent than any other foundation, more transparent than any other foundation has ever been asked and thicertainly more transpare than anyone in this line of work is. i said to the best of my knowledge nobody ever got anything from the state department because they supported the clinton foundation. if they did, and it was inappropriate, i would say that was wrong too. i have proved that i'm not averse to apologizing for things i think were wrong. >> and in our next half hour, the former president talks to charlie about his future including a potential role in
8:07 am
boil down to the optics, doesn't it, of the situation. >> it does. that's a great point, gayle. this was a strong interview between the two of them back and forth. i think it is interesting the former president says and has said previously that he would step down and charlie saying why not do it now, stop raising money, to prevent any, you know, appearance of conflict of interest, but they would like chelsea to continue in that role, to lead the foundation and the good work they do. >> donald trump, meanwhile, says ar what she said about his voters. clinton said on friday and i quote, to just be grossly generalistic you can put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. >> the disdain that hillary clinton expressed toward millions of decent americans disqualifies her from public service. >> during the campaign, trump made his own controversial
8:08 am
>> when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. >> what does the mexican heritage of the judge in the trump university case has to do with anything? >> a lot to do with it. i had terrible rulings forever. >> for him, how does his mexican parents have to do with him -- >> he's a member of a club or society, very strongly pro mexican, which is all fine, but i want to build a wall. i'm going to build a wall. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> how stupid are the people of iowa? how stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap? >> trump campaigns today in iowa and pennsylvania. one of the nation's sharpest political observers says that

8:14 am
? as we reported earlier, the national collegiate athletic association is pilling seven championship events from the state of north carolina over the state's so-called bathroom law. the ncaaoi profile companies, ceos, entertainers, universities, and states and cities that have all spoken out against the law known as hb-2. the nba withdrew its all-star game from charlotte over the summer. >> hb-2 requires transgender people to use public restrooms that correspond with the sex on their birth certificate, not gender identity. the justice department and the american civil liberties union are challenging this law, and ncaa president mark emmert is in
8:15 am
you'll only see on "cbs this morning." welcome to the table. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> this is a big decision. take us through the process to reach it. >> this san issue, of course, that emerged last winter when the state of north carolina passed hb-2. we have a board of governors made up of 16 university presidents, looking at and evaluating this throughout that time frame. there was hope this could be resolved during the summer, during the legislative session or this fall through the court pass. so in order to have time to relocate those events and move them to a place where our students were still going to get a very high quality experience, the board had had to make a decision right away and did it last night. >> that's a nuts and bolts of it. i want to know the thinking about why you decided that we have to actually pull the plug on it. >> sure. well this is an issue that is very fundamental, all higher ed. the college sports has conducted inside university and college
8:16 am
right at the heart of what the ncaa does and what universities do. and so for our university presidents, this was the proverbial no brainer. >> did you speak with north carolina's governor about this? >> i spoke to him in the spring about it. and he expressed a lot of views about it throughout this process, but i hadn't spoken to him last evening. >> they didn't lobby to try to keep all the championships in north carolina? >> we had a process by which all the individual bidders were able to express their views of what they could do around this, but in the end, the b that with this law in place, they simply can't be successful. >> state gop spokesperson called this decision almost comical and said, and i want to read the quote, i wish the ncaa was this concerned about the women who were raped at baylor, end quote, referring to the scandal involving football players, coaches and administrators at the school. the ncaa has no definitive policy at this point as to how schools should handle sexual assault cases. do you think that that response has merit?
8:17 am
first of all, the statement is false. the board of governors, a couple of years ago, in fact, put in place a policy around how universities should be and colleges should be handling sexual assault. the two issues are completely unrelated. there is no question that this is a decision that hb-2 decision is one that is going to engender opinions on both sides of the aisle, a political season, that's unfortunate, and people are going to say comments like that. >> but to be clear, the does have a definitive policy in place with how schools are supposed to handle sexual assault charges? >> yeah, it does. two years ago in august the board of governors passed a resolution -- >> a resolution. not a policy. >> it doesn't, but what they're doing now, that same board is in the midst of formulating whether or not that policy should become an enforceable rule, a rule that would allow the national association to go in and punish schools, specifically -- >> do you think they should?
8:18 am
i do. >> did you have any kind of conversation with adam silver, the nba made a similar decision, they pulled the all-star game. did you seek other people's counsel? i'm trying to understand the process when you say this is right, this is wrong, this is what bothers us about this particular hb-2 law. >> yeah, of course i talked to adam a number of times on this. and many other issues, but the reason the university presidents reached this conclusion last evening is because, again, this conducted in the context of universities. and it is trying to reflect the values of higher education in america. inclusion, fairness, treating all of your student athletes, the coaches, the fans, in a way that reflects those values that our championships, that's what matters most. the championships are the celebration about everything about higher education. >> students weighing in too. >> students weighed in on this because we have students

governance processes. >> katie ledecky will be attending stanford. in doing so she will be forgoing tens of millions of dollars in potential endorsements. it could be argued she's doing stanford and by extension the ncaa a favor by swimming collegiately. while not undoing the entire amateur as a model, why is she not allowed to keep the money paid to her for things she did before she ever stepped foot on that campus? >> well, she is in the current ncaa policies if she, for example, is awarded, as she was, compensation, modest compensation from the usoc for having won a gold medal, don't quote me, i think $25,000 you can get through that policy, it has been more than, i think, 15 years since the ncaa members put in place a policy allowing you to retain those funds. >> why can't she be endorsed now and make the millions of dollars that the companies want to pay
8:20 am
olympicens or basketball players, they have to make a decision whether or not they want to maintain their amateur status, compete as a student athlete, or become a professional athlete. there is a number of olympians that decide, you know, i do want to go compete professionally, i want to go compete in europe, i want to accept endorsements. others say, no, i want to compete as an amateur, same tournament, augusta national, someone competing as an amateur and others as professionals. those decisions are individual decisions that people have to make. >> mark emmert, thank you for being here. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> come back when you come back with that sexual assault definitive policy. >> you got it. >> some of the country's most prestigious universities are considered to be great value. ahead, the much anticipated u.s. news and world report college rankings for 2017. you're watching "cbs this morning." you're watching "cbs this morning." ?

white house. he told charlie yesterday, how his work with the clinton foundation has prepared him for new foundations. that conversation took place in new york, ahead of the foundation's final clinton global initiative conference. >> everybody wonders this question, if your wife is president, and you've answered it a thousand times but help me with a bigger and better answer, what might you do? >> well, first of all, let's start on what i there was a great article saying that i should really be a first lady. that is, that i needed to have a gender role. but i think first and foremost, i should do whatever i'm asked to do. that is, if hillary wants i'll be both the president, former president and a spouse. so, i think i should make those roles as consistent as possible
