good morning to our viewers in the west. it is monday august 22, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's more real news ahead including the long path donald trump took before he became the republican nominee including the revealing answer he gave about whether he has friends. the journalist behind a new book show us what they found. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> when trump's rivals accused him of nasty deportation in opening bid in negotiations on immigration. >> clinton camp announcing $80 million worth of tv advertising time this fall.
8:01 am

8:02 am
i'm norah o'donnell wiantho mason, charlie and gayle are off, together, who knows. [ laughter ] hope you guys are having fun. there are new signs that donald trump's immigration policy may be more flexible than he says in public. trump met privately on saturday with his new council of hispanic advisors. he reportedly gave impression that mass deportations are unrealistic. >> that would be a significant shift in one of trump's signature policies. he's been talking about it for more than a year. >> 11, 12 million illegal immigrants -- >> wlavr thatever the number is >> still in the country, what do you do? >> they're going out and coming back in legally. >> you're rounding them all up? >> we're rounding them up in a very humane way. i know it doesn't sound nice, but not everything is nice. >> it doesn't sound practical.
8:03 am
you're going to have a deportation force. we have at least 11 million people in this country that came in illegally. they will go out. >> back in january you gave an off-the-record interview to "new york times." it was apparently audio taped. did you tell them specifically you are flexible when it comes to your deportation plan? >> in terms of immigration and almost anything else. there always has to be some, you know, tug and pull and deal. now, sometimes you ask for more than you want and you negotiate i may have discussed something like that with the "new york times," but i would never release off-the-record conversations. i don't think it's fair, frankly, to do that to anybody. >> trump's campaign said, quote, mr. trump said nothing that he hasn't said many times before. his new campaign manager was asked yesterday about trump's plan for undocumented immigrants. >> will that plan include a deportation force, the kind that he -- you just heard in that sound bite and that he talked
8:04 am
>> okay. >> trump is scheduled to give a speech on immigration later this week. >> and with that this morning for a new look at donald trump's life "the washington post" michael kranish and senior editor marc fisher, co-authors of the new book "trump revealed." it compiles the work of more than two dozen "the washington post" reporters, fact-checkers and editors. together they examine trump's childhood, his beginnings in real estate and the international exp o branded empire. trump revealed is published by scrivener, an imprint of simon and shoouser, division of cbs. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> i should point out you spoke with mr. trump and interviewed him, right? >> yes, we spent as a group more than 20 hours with him. he was extremely generous and gracious with his time despite all of his bluster against the media and against "the washington post." he was quite forthcoming. >> you go all the way back to his childhood to help reveal
8:05 am
once said he hasn't changed since second grade. keep that in mind as you hear about some of the things that he did, such as throwing rocks at a toddler in the yard right across from his own home, pulling the pigtails of one of his classmates, getting into a physical altercation with a teacher that led to his father removing him from school and sending him off to a military boarding school. >> in fact, in one of your interviews he admits he gave his music teacher a black eye. >> a bit exaggerated, but he certainly got into some kind of an altercation there. and he sees this as evidence that he was a rambunctious kid. people around him at that saw him as a rouuffian. >> his father, very successful developer in new york, particularly in queens and staten island. and trump ultimately took that business into manhattan.
8:06 am
relationship and that shift and what it seems to have symbolized? >> so he left brooklyn and queens. he wanted to come to manhattan. and his father said he should never be a nothing in life, love what you do. so throughout donald trump's life he had this onus on his shoulder to meet his father's expectations, that he would be something of a great something and put his name on buildings. that's exactly what he did. however, his father told him, don't go deeply into debt. donald trump says he's the king of debt. so he did not follow his father's advice on that. him out numerous times, give him money, loan him money. >> but when he moved into manhattan, that also was a turning point in some ways because he was then sued by the justice department, correct? >> that's right. the justice department sued donald trump and his father by name for not renting to blacks at their properties in queens and brooklyn. this was one of the largest racial bias cases of its time. donald trump had to decide whether to fight this case or to settle. and one night he was in a
8:07 am
walks in there and lo and behold there's a man named roy cone, the lawyer for joseph mccarthy. and they got to talking and roy cone says don't settle this case. fight like hell against the government when they hit you, hit back ten times harder. trump decided to do that. in the end he did have to settle the case as it turns out, but he kept the philosophy even to this day about hitting back, hitting back ten times harder. >> what's donald trump's reaction to we know ahead of time he told us repeatedly that he wanted a true, accurate, fair book which was exactly our intent. but he also warned us again and again he would sue us, and he has sued people in the past when they've written about him. and what tends to trigger his lawsuits is anyone who questions just how rich he really is. so he gives all kinds of numbers about how rich he is. $9 billion, $10 billion, $12 billion. >> what do you think the real numbers are? >> we don't know the exact number, but we have good reason
8:08 am
depositions and lawsuits has said he essentially makes it up. what he does is takes the actual value any accountant would attach to his properties and he multiplies that by what he feels in a given day. he says, look, my name has value. and that's true. his name does have value. but he then attaches a number, he says, you know, my name is worth $200 million on this project or $400 million on that project. he inflates the value. reporting in here, too, so much about how your private life can reveal your public persona. what did he tell you about? did he talk about who is his best friend? >> you know, i asked him about friendships because it's so important in the way we think about a president and his character. in donald trump's case i was stunned when he said, you know, i don't really have friends in the way most people do. if you think about friends as somebody you go out to dinner with, he said i don't have that.
8:09 am
to say. finally he said, you know, it's my kids. if anyone -- if i really got in trouble, the people i'd go to for help would be my kids. >> you point out he's changed political parties seven times. and you write that his practice of politics was not ideological. >> he has pivoted time and again. he said last week i don't want to pivot because people need to see who i really am. what we found inur clearly he spent his life practicing the pivot. as you mentioned he's changed parties, he's been a republican, a democrat, and then again a republican. changed positions on many issues. on immigration, which he talked about recently, he had said mit% romney's plan to self-deport was crazy and maniacal. those are his words. and criticized romney for losing the hispanic vote. and now, you know, he's talked about forcing deportation and then yesterday there was talk
8:10 am
talked about. so this is still something that he's still trying to figure out. >> one last quick question, what does he read? >> nothing much really. i asked him about, you know, are you preparing to be president by reading biographies of the great presidents? he said, you know, i've always wanted to read a biography of a president. i've never had the time. turns out he doesn't read books really at all, which is rather unique in the history of american presidential candidates. >> marc fisher, michael kranish, thanks so much. and trump tomorrow. boston said no to the olympics, but l.a. is ready to play. up next, ben tracy in rio talks to the mayor on a mission to defy critics and help the city
