7:51 am
it is tuesday, january 5th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including president obama tightening gun regulations on his own. jan crawford looks at how far he will go and how republicans might stop him. but first, here is today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> senior officials outlined the action and they focus on what they say are flaws and loopholes in the system of background checks. >> the candidates are now turning on each other in tough tv ads. meanwhile bill clinton tried to deflect some of donald trump's tougher rhetoric.
7:52 am
attempt to reclaim the refuge and there doesn't seem to be any urgent reason to do so. >> there hasn't been any official confirmation but sources have provided a name. >> the broacheach is about a quarter mile wide. 125 structures are flooded and the water is rising. >> tonya couch will be in court this morning. >> they are trying to drive customers into the stores with value offerings while at the same time weaning customers off of these unprofitable dollar menus. >> after being arrested for crashing his car into a shopping mall, a florida man explained to police he was trying to time travel, which is crazy. if you want to travel 50 years into the future, just leave florida. >> i'm charlie rose with grail king and norah o'donnell. >> on your birthday.
7:53 am
>> charlie in the last hour gave norah and i these big ipad pros. these are very expensive so i thank you very much. >> you're welcome. it's better to give than to receive. but not always. >> i thank you. >> we'll try to make sure we give you something a little later. >> you give it to me every day. we start with this. president obama will outline new rules this morning designed to keep guns out of the wrong hands. the president is taking executive actions after congress chose not to tighten gun laws. he received a string of recommendations at monday's oval office meeting with the attorney general and fbi director. >> although we have to be very clear that this is not going to solve every violent crime in this country, it's not going to prevent every mass shooting, it's not going to keep every gun out of the hands of a criminal, it will potentially save lives in this country. >> republican presidential candidates blasted the new rules for the gun sales.
7:54 am
president was acting like a petulant child. senator ted cruz said he would rescind every single illegal and unconstitutional executive action that was taken. and senator marco rubio says this, the president undermines the constitution. despite the criticism, the president says he is within his legal authority. jan crawford is at the white house. jan, good morning. first, what's in this plan and what will he need congress, though, to approve in order to get parts of it paid for and et cetera? >> reporter: well, right. first of all, the senior administration officials briefed reporters last night on some of the details the president will be announcing later on today. essentially they focus on fixing flaws and loopholes in the nation's system of background checks. they require gun dealers, for example, to be licensed even if they just sell guns at gun sales or on the internet. they would add more federal employees to help carry out those background checks to make them more efficient and more effective. here's where they're going to need some congressional approval.
7:55 am
example, to add 200 more atf agents and investigators. so he's asking congress to budget that. he's asking congress to give $500 million in additional funding for mental health treatment, again to try to offer services to deal with some of the recent episodes we've seen of terrible gun violence. so he's going to have to go to congress for those. the rest of them are basically instructions to federal executive agencies on how to carry out some of the existing laws. >> what kind of legal -- no, it's your birthday. you go. >> no, but please keep remembering. >> i will remember. jan, what kind of legal challenges does he face? yesterday he said this is within my legal authority. >> reporter: opponents are going to argue that he's doing an unconstitutional end run around congress. remember, congress passes the laws under our constitution and the president faithfully executes them so they're going to say this raises all kinds of separation of powers issues, they're going to say it raises issues under the second
7:56 am
the president is confident that he will prevail. think about this, he's got just a year left in office and lawsuits take forever so this could be tied up in court until the end of his administration, meaning they may never be implemented, some of these proposals, unless the next president decides to pick up the ball and run with it. >> i assume it's true for the president that he believes that not just those cases, those awful, obscene, atrocious cases of multiple acts of violence, but also individual acts of violence because of access to guns? >> well, right. that's right, charlie. of course no one says these would have prevented san bernardino or sandy hook, but the president says if they can stop just one death, then it will be worth it. >> jan, thank you so much. for the first time in this presidential race, hillary clinton's campaign brought bill clinton to new hampshire. the former president was her co-strategist in 2008 and he campaigned vigorously for her across the country. his attitude on monday was far
7:57 am
he did not mention donald trump or respond to recent attacks. the former president discussed what he believes the election is all about. >> i don't fit anymore. first of all, i'm a happy grandfather and i'm not mad at anybody. and secondly, i thought an election is supposed to be a job interview. this election is about restoring broadly shared prosperity. that is how we're going to keep america safe and still keep it america. preserve our individual liberties and our reputation for being an open country, our belief in diversity and our understanding that one of our great meal tickets in the next 20 years is going to be there's somebody here from everywhere else. >> trump continued his attacks on hillary clinton at a rally
7:58 am
>> we don't need four more years of obama, and that's what you're getting with hillary. that's what you're getting. no, that's what you're getting. and i believe it might be even worse, if you want to know the truth. it might be worse. >> the democratic front-runner told iowa voters she won't respond to trump. she said her new year's resolution is to, quote, let him live in his own alternate reality. states in the south this morning are preparing for the potential of devastating floods. rising waters are blamed for the deaths of at least 25 people in missouri and illinois. flood warnings are in place along the mississippi river as the water moves south. >> the mississippi swelled four miles past its banks in alexander county, illinois. a nearby levee broke covering 14,000 acres under water. at least 125 buildings are flooded there. floodwaters are already making their way downstream to places like mud island, tennessee.
7:59 am
way in low-lying mississippi neighborhoods. it's official, guns and roses is planning a return to the jungle. the group is returned in the lineup for the coachella music festival in california. guns and roses will headline twice in april. >> the reunion publicly signals the end of disputes among the band's founding members. there was tension with lead singer axl rose. the two haven't performed on stage together in more than 20 years. rose tweeted last night saying, okay, okay, it's confirmed. guns n roses is headlining the 2016 coachella. see everyone there. >> remember when he was here we asked if it could happen and he indicated he was open to it. he didn't talk about coachella but he was very open.
8:00 am

8:02 am
you ready to paint a different picture? yeah! talk to your doctor about oic and prescription treatment options. i'm on it! everyone needs a bff. even your smile. colgate optic white toothpaste goes beyond surface stains to whiten over 3 shades. in fact, it whitens more than the leading express whitening strip. it's your smile bff. whiten more just by brushing. in our house, imagination runs wild. but at my table, i keep the food real.

8:04 am
in our "morning rounds" the brand new world of health breakthroughs in medicine are reaching a tipping point. that's what dr. david agus says in his new book called "the lucky years." we'll be able to edit dna, fight disease, reverse aging, prolong fertility and turn cancer into a manageable condition. the book is published by simon and schuster. dr. agus is in the studio live and in color today.
8:05 am
>> "the lucky years" has nothing to do with wealth or social status you say. we're all part of the lucky years because? >> listen, this revolution is happening now and it literally is. i'm with you guys once or twice a week with a breakthrough happening all the time. these are breakthroughs that will change the playing field and it equalizes the playing field. we now can do things like approaching reversing aging. we can prevent disease. we can treat disease like never before. this is an amazing time in what i do. >> let's start with reversing aging. >> yeah. as birthday boy. >> how can we reverse aging? >> it's an amazing story. the 1950s, wanda lunsford published a paper. she took an old rat and young rat, put them to sleep and tied their skin together. after a day or so their blood supplies joined. three days later and the old
8:06 am
she claimed she reversed aging. frankenstein. six months ago. three separate labs in the worked. so it turns out there are proteins in young individuals up until age 25 that turn on stem cells. our stem cells go to sleep at age 25. so what's amazing is the cure for diseases is actually asleep within us. and this is a way to potentially wake it up. >> to latch on to some young people i'm thinking. i thought that was very fascinating. >> the lucky years too and staying healthy longer also means preventing disease, some of the most common diseases. i just did a story on gene editing technology. tell us about the promise that holds. >> we can with this enzyme take one letter of your three billion letter code and change it.
8:07 am
a defect in, say, breast cancer or heart disease or something else, we can go in and change that one letter. so now it's happened in china. they actually changed the dna of an embryo. at the same time we need to regulate it and do it right, but this was the potential of being transformative. something as wild and science fiction like as you can take an organ from an animal and change the dna to allow it to be used in a human in transplants. >> how far off are they? >> this is happening now. >> taking an animal's organ and transplant it? >> we're starting to design pigs to have human proteins on their surface and using that for kidney transplants over the next decade will happen. >> it's already happening with heart valving. >> but this is a living, functioning organ where a heart valve is a piece of tissue. >> you said there's never any right answers in health, there are several right answers, never just one. >> it's based on your value system.
8:08 am
i really learned that it's the right way for you as an individual and we all shouldn't do everything the same. that's why personalized medicine is going to be fantastic based on data but value system is a key part of making decisions. >> you also say there's a brave new world in fertility coming. what is that? >> so there's -- you inherit dna from your mother and father and those are your chromosomes. women with mitochondrial disorders historically couldn't have children. there was a doctor in new jersey taking out their nucleus and putting that into a donor's egg so a child had three parents. you can now do that for a 40 or 50-year-old woman and allow them to give birth. so really changing the playing field to equalize it. this is a different world. people are giving birth later and later and this is an empowering technology that will be transformative. >> and if you live near the airport your chances are heart disease are greater? that's surprising.
8:09 am
if you do concentric circles around an airport, heart disease risk goes up. so we need quiet. if you live in the city or elsewhere, put a little foam in your ears when you sleep. i've got a 150-pound dog that snores. i sleep with ear plugs every night. your brain needs quiet. >> thank you, dr. agus. >> "the lucky years." >> thank you very much. >> as opposed to the yucky years. yucky years is a better title. it depose on sale today, by the way. tomorrow we'll continue our look at the lucky years with a panel on the advances in preventing and treating cancer. so you're coming back two days in a row, lucky us. >> i am lucky too. >> all right, thanks. a 3-year-old girl saved after a terrifying night. >> are you okay? come here. >> meet the police officer who brought her out of the cold. that's next here on "cbs this morning." cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by breathe right.
8:10 am
tonight. >> there is a manhunt for a
8:11 am
listen to this audio from this body camera. >> hi sweet heart. are you okay? come here. come here. come here. >> oh my gosh, caroline was crying and described as very cold and very scared after the nearly five-hour drama. the officers says he's not a hero. but he is a father. >> i almost started crying. this is very happy, i'm happy and thankful we were able to find her. >> police are hunting for the kidnapper and a second man seen at the scene of the car jacking. thank goodness she is okay. >> you can tell he's got young daughter, come here, sweet heart. can you tell. that was so nice.

8:19 am
filed a lawsuit to stop a forced abortion. she was carrying triplets for a georgia man. the man only wants to children and requested the third be aborated. that is allowed in tear contract. cook is about six months into her pregnancy. she claims in her lawsuit she is the legal mother of the triplets. >> the telegraph reveals the safest airline. for the third straight year, quantus, looked at several factors, including government audits and that saeltfatality rorts records. >> that make the top 20 are alaska able, american and united airlines. >> britain tells us about an overworked judge in italy. he's so busy, he had to postpone a civil hearing until 2019. he says he has a backlog of 500 older case, he justified the delays saying his constitutional rights protect him from forced labor.
8:20 am
get this, sold for more than $100,000 at auction. a japanese sushi chain did ar $171,000 for this blue fin tuna. >> that works out to about $265 a pound. blue fin tuna are endangered due to overfishing. it was sold at the last new year auction at a historic fish market that will be torn down this year. extreme weather this morning continues to hit the united states. we've showed you earlier, the flooding overwhelming the mid-west and an arctic plast is finally chilling the northeast and california is preparing for a series of drenching storms. heavy rain is already falling this morning outside san francisco. jeffrey includinger is editor at large for "time" magazine and time.com. jeffrey, welcome back. >> thank you for having me? weather? >> here's what's happening. we are already coming off of
8:21 am
record 2015 and the hottest month in the hottest year, which was july some think of the earth as running a chronic fever. now, on top of that chronic fever comes the acute fever of el nino. which occurs when westerly winds that usually push warm pacific water over to the west side of the pacific weaken or reverse, ae louing that warm water to slosh back east. that tends to heat up the northern -- north american hemisphere. >> we're talking el 19io. nasa says the images could rival the one of 1997, 1998, that killed 23,000 people world wide. what does that mean for us? the big snow we're having in the mid-west? what else does it mean? >> the know in the mid-west t. droughts we are seeing in central america, which are imperiling 3.9 people with food and security and 10 million people in africa food and security.
8:22 am
flooding across mississippi. we're going to see extreme heat spikes over the summer. which will affect vulnerable population, older people, sickly people, very young people. so this could take a much bigger toll than in 1998. >> it was in the '70s on the east coast for christmas. the north pole is 50 degrees higher, they say. so is this the new normal? >> this is the new normal t. problem, i'm glad you brought up the north pole. because what happens when the people gets above freezing is obviously the arctic ice cap shrinks. ice caps reflect sunlight back into space. the smaller the arctic ice cap gets the more warmth that the dark waters can absorb, so you got sort of a dangerous feedback. >> we haven't mentioned global warming. >> global warming is a real phenomenon. what i admire about the nasa scientists in these cases is they're not acknowledging every single weather event is linked
8:23 am
it certainly isn't. if are you a heavy smoker, not every cold will be smoke related. a lot are. you very much have to quit your pack a day if you want to stay healthy. >> given you look at science and a tough year weather wise with eknow, though, weather can affect national security. right? >> weather absolutely affects national security. any time you get food and security in any places of the world, you have a tendency for political unrest. the u.s. is no longer likes to say we're not going to be the policeman of the world any longer, still, people turn to us when you get this kind of problem. when the u.s. infrastructure is threatened the way it is along the mississippi the way it was in new orleans ten years ago, these are issues that divert funds, divert resources, that divert energy, affect shipping. all of these things go to the straight of national. >> so what can we do? >> well, what we can do, unfortunately, right now, has to
8:24 am
steps. you can make sure there are cooling centers for older people in the summer. can you make sure we have water cons vacation in drought stricken areas we have flood law, levies, in flood-prone areas. we also have to be willing to say it's time to address this in the long term. the paris climate accord was a very, very good sign. the u.s. as the world's leading emitter has to take the lead in curbing this problem. >> important information, thanks, jeff. >> thanks so much. olympic hurdleer and bobsleder lolo jones is right here in studio 57.
8:25 am
we will look at how she always >> olympic track and field star, her name is lolo jones is one of ten american athletes to compete in both the summer and winter games, thank you very much. only 130 people world wide can make that claim. on that list, 25 women. now the hurdler and bobsledder is focused on the summer games in rio. she is putting her what she calls worst year behind her after two surgeries and several injuries. if she makes the u.s. team, it
8:26 am
appearance. lolo jones is with us in studio. first we will take a look at her long olympic roller coaster. for more than half her life, lolo jones has been clearing hurdles on and off the track t. photo genic olympian and iowa native is an 11-time all american. she began her racing career as a student at louisiana state university, where she won national titles in both sprint relays and the hurdles. >> it's a fair start. here's the first hurdle. >> reporter: in 2008, jones entered the beijing summer olympics as a gold medal favorite in the 100 meter hurdles. ahead of the pack, with gold in her grasp, she hit the second to last hurdle resulting in a 7th placed finish. >> best time going into the olympics. best time going out. i didn't get that gold medical. >> reporter: she was side lined in 2011 after spinal surgery.
8:27 am
on the 2012 summer games in london. an olympic medal still proved to be out of reach for the 4th place finish. in 2014 jones traded her track sneaker for a helmet and joined the u.s. bobsled team in sochi. the track star has yet to win an olympic medal. that has not stopped her from becoming one of team usa's favorite stars. >> this is really pretty. lolo, gorgeous. >> reporter: her magazine worthy good looks has secured deals with some of the biggest brands. with it, criticism of whether she deserves the spotlight. jones continues to brush off critics. less than three months out of hip surgery, seven months before the summer olympics. she is working hard to find her stride. >> wow, lolo, wow. >> yeah. >> worst year professionally. what happened? lay it out for us, where do you find the motivation to keep going? >> well, this last season, i had
8:28 am
then a torn hip later onch they were quick to come back. from i was like, man, like is this it or is this a sign to give up? or this a sign to get killed? >> what keeps you motivated? how are you doing? >> well, you laugh a lot. although i've placed success, i've tasted as well a lot of failure. i think for me knowing that, you know, you will not take joy in small victories, also how you leave something is how you enter. how your attitude is when you cross the finish line is how you enter your next race. if i get down on myself, that itself how i'm going to carry it into the next race. so every olympic i failed at. i have to look at the good side, winter olympic, i got to 11. i'm one of the ten people to go to winter olympics. when you are pursuing a goal. will you fail on that path to that goal. make sure you had just your attitude. you don't want to try again and
8:29 am
>> you are training for the olympics inryio. you turn 34 on opening day. >> why do they do that, awful? >> 34 is young, stronger than ever. >> strong. >> stronger than ever. how do you think you will train differently for this olympics than have you in past olympics? >> every year i have to remote rate is myself. track is essentially who can work out the best? there is no game involved. it's who is the best condition. so every year i try a different workout. pilates one year. yoga the next. i do a workout similar, involving science behind it. heart rate monitors. every year i try out something new. this one fit and worked well with the post-surgery that i feed. >> and you are a spokesman for them, too? >> yeah, i am a spokesman, i was kind of shocked and amazed you could have such a workout that can involve beginning level to eb up is getting fit.
8:30 am
some combination of hand-eye coordination for golfers and baseball hitters? >> not as much, you know, i think they're more specific. obviously, when i have a hurdle coming at me very fast, i have to have hand-eye coordination. there are not specific things in my dun time that focuses on that. we are concerned at going over a hurdle in high speed in a race environment. >> track stars have what? >> determination. >> they have to. >> our workouts are running. everybody hates rung. treadmill, like, yeah. so you know just to get through that day, what are you going to do for practice today? i'm going to run. what are you going to do tomorrow? i'm going to run. >> lolo, you have a lot of haters on the internet. people tear you down, she is very good looking. you are, you are stunningly gorgeous. they say, she ain't won no medals. >> i can show you my medals, i'll show you mine.
8:31 am
room can do what you do? you do get a lot of criticism. how do you deal with that? you heard it? >> i can tell my staff i'm a three time world champion, i'm the fastest american indoor record holder. >> that means nothing to them. at the end of the day i have to know my opinion of what i've done in track is not altered by what they think of me. it comes by how hard i worked and what i've achieved. everybody will face criticism. you start a business, family says, you can't do that. you have to say i can do that. take joy in the small things have you overcome. will you get where you are at. >> the first challenge is to make the team? >> the first challenge is to make the team t. best feeling in my life, when i cross that finish line, no one can take that away. every american who has made it on the team and has the chance to represent their country in olympic, knows there is no grarlt honor. >> i can't imagine how good it is to walk in that stadium and hear that. with the flag flying.
