3:06 am
don't understand. you know, our founders gave us the system of government, the majority in the house, you need 60 votes in the senate. if the house and senate can agree, the president gets to decide. our founders didn't want some parliamentary system where if you want a majority you've got to do whatever you wanted. they wanted to long, slow process. so change comes slowly. and obviously too slowly for some. >> are they unrealistic about what can be done in government? that's the -- >> absolutely they're unrealistic. i mean, this whole idea that we're going to shut down the government to get rid of obamacare in 2013? it plain never had a chance. over the course of the all recess in 2013 and the course of september, you know, a lot of them, my republican colleague hot knew it was a fool's errand, really are getting all this pressure from home to do this. so we've got groups here in town, members, the house and senate here in town, who whip people into a frenzy believing they can accomplish things that

3:11 am
planes, sophisticated military equipment, and today we learned of another complication. the iraqis who the work u.s.s with in the fight against isis announced they're going to coordinate with the russians plus syria and iran. so all this really caught the white house by surprise. so tomorrow president obama's going to walk into that meeting and try to figure out, is putin doing what he says he's going to, do fight isis? or is this to buttress his own position and that of his ally, bashar al ashaud? >> not what the white house would like to talk about right now. >> not at all. the white house want toth talk about iran and the nuclear accord and cuba and reopening relevances. president obama will be meeting with cuban president raul castro who's going to take the world stage for the very first time at the u.n. this week. he doesn't have a plan to meet with the president of iran, that would be politically difficult considering there are still americans being held prisoner there. when president obama takes the stage he's going to talk about international alliances to have

in michigan, a 32-year-old man was sentenced to 30 days in jail for a traffic violation. 17 days later, he was dead. the question, was it an accident? or neglect? >> reporter: the jail surveillance video is disturbing. it shows the steady deterioration and eventual death of a human being. in june of last year, david sejefski was serving 30 days in jail for failure to pay a $730 fine for careless driving. his family says he was being treated with drug addiction with methadone, xanax and klonopin. robert erie is the family's attorney. >> he was receiving treatment
3:18 am
that was wholly inadequate. if he was receiving at all. it was minimal. >> reporter: the man was stripped of all clothing according to jail protocol for his own protection and placed in a special unit. he began to demonstrate withdrawal symptoms, including convulsions. cellmates can be seen eating his food. he eventually lost 50 pounds. denied his medication, his behavior became erratic. at one point he fought with a fellow inmate. afterwards he had the cell all to himself. but on the jail video, his declining mental and physical state became even more pronounced. the 32-year-old would often hide under the bed. >> it is an example of a larger problem that exists nationally with respect to the proper treating and handle and maintaining of young people who go into local jails and state prisons with health and addiction problems. >> reporter: a little over two weeks into his sentence, he laid

3:22 am
he filed this reporters neat book. >> reporter: from the moment pope francis took his first steps on this trip there were events that stood out and at times bemoussed. who else but cuban president raul castro could make a welcoming speech that equated a socialist revolution with the ideals and aims of the catholic church in ordinary cubans had only one thing on their minds. would the pope's efforts mean an end to the u.s. trade embargo? his arrival in the u.s. was classic francis. welcomed at the steps of the plane by the president, then climbing into a fiat. what better way to show americans what they were about to see and hear something exceptional. the rapturous reception when he hit the streets was familiar. >> there's the fiat! right down there! did you see him? >> reporter: this reporter wasn't prepared for the rapture of a fellow correspondent. >> and i think he was waving directly at you. >> well, i -- did you hear my excitement? i was like a little girl again.
3:23 am
>> reporter: the commentary made it clear how privileged we who travel with the pope actually are. to get to shake his hand. look him in the eye. and feel the warmth that emanates from the man. >> we are living at a critical moment of history -- >> reporter: francis' speech at the white house was the first i'd ever heard him deliver in english. unlike his homilies in italian or spanish he barely deviated by a word. the deliberate delivery, diction, and emphasis drove home his message in a way no translation ever could. >> god bless america. >> reporter: and then there was the extraordinary security. never was so much carbon emitted to protect a man who concerned about global warming or who in the words of his press spokesman is happiest when there's no security at all. the classic moment was when this little girl breached the lines and francis had her brought over for a blessing. >> do unto others as you will
3:24 am
have them do unto you. >> reporter: as for the pope's breaches of the barriers of politics, you didn't have to be a policy womp to figure out who stood where on controversial points like climate change and immigration laws. but it was the enthusiasm of ordinary people which stood out above all. one was left with the overall impression the reaction to francis and his messages will linger. and the politician s ignore at their pearl. peril. >> "overnight news" will be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

3:29 am
different level that we can't even comprehend. >> reporter: nichols says the same drive that got them this far fuels the desire to compete. >> it doesn't matter if you're somebody that's missing all four lips. i still want to beat you. and the person next to me doesn't compare how paralyzed i am. we just want to compete. that really helps us feel like ourselves. like normal. >> reporter: wheelchair or not, that's about as normal as it gets. >> right on! >> reporter: carter evans, cbs news, la jolla, california. >> that is the "cbs overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." fr .
3:30 am
this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." we begin with house speaker john boehner, house speaker for now. the ohio republican stunned washington late last week when he announced he was giving up not only his leadership position but his position in congress entirely. he discussed it with john dickerson, moderator of "face the nation." >> as i said on friday, i was planning on leaving at the end of last year. when my friend eric cantor lost his primary election in july of last year, it was clear to me that i couldn't leave, that i had to provide a transition for the next leaders. so i planned on serving through this year. and on november 17th i was going to make an announcement.
3:31 am
and on -- thursday evening and friday morning i looked up and went, why do i want to put my colleagues through this when i'm going to make the same announcement six weeks from now? why do i want to put the institution through this? and so it was the right decision. frankly, i thought we handled it the right way. >> when you talk about the decision that they were going to have to go through, it was going to be a pretty messy -- >> a motion to vacate the chair. >> kick you out of your job, sorry, to help people at home understand what vacating the chair is. >> listen, winning that vote was never an issue. i was going to get the overwhelming number -- 400 votes, probably. but why do i want to make my members, republican members, walk the plank? because they're going to get criticized at home by some who were -- think we ought to be more aggressive. we've accomplished a lot over the four and a half years that i was speaker. whether it was the largest
3:32 am
deficit reduction deal in the history of the country, saving $2.1 trillion, protecting 99% of the american people from an increase in our taxes, or the first major entitlement reforms in 20 years, all done over the last four and a half years with a democrat president and all voted against by my most conservative members because it wasn't good enough. really? this is the part that i really don't understand. you know, our founders gave us this system of government. a majority in the house, you need 60 votes in the senate. if the house and senate can agree, the president gets to decide. our founders didn't want some parliamentary system where if you won a majority you got to do whatever you wanted. they wanted to long, slow process. and so change comes slowly. and obviously too slowly for some. >> are they unrealistic about what can be done in government? that's the -- >> absolutely they're
3:33 am
unrealistic. but you know, the bible says beware of false prophets are and there are people out there, you know, spread iing noise about h much can get done. i mean, this whole idea that we're going to shut down the government to get rid of obamacare in 2013? this plan never had a chance. but over the course of the august recess in 2013 and the course of september, you know, a lot of them, my republican colleague hot knew it was a fool's errand, really they were etting all this pressure from e home to do this. and so we got groups here in town, members of the house and senate here in town, who whipped people into a frenzy believing they can accomplish things that they know, they know, are never going to happen. it's just -- but listen, i've had 25 great years here in washington. i've had great staff. i've had great colleagues. i'm very thankful to my family and to my constituents for giving me the honor to do this.
3:34 am
>> is ted cruz a false prophet? >> it was a name, you can pick a lot of names out, i'll let you choose them. >> you don't debate that assertion? >> i'm refer you to my remark at a fund-raiser made in august in colorado. no, i was a rebel. and it wasn't about shaking up republican leadership, it was shaking up the house. the house was run as one democrat chairman called it the last plantation in america. and whether it was the house bank scandal, the restaurant scandal, the post office scandal, i've sent my share of members to jail action over improper activities in the house. but out of that we began to question how the house itself was being run. the floor of the house. helped us write the contract with america, helped us get into the majority. and it's been a great run. >> hem ask you about the -- by
3:35 am
the way, you called -- i believe the word you used was jackass, referring to -- >> i've referred to that. >> we've buttoned that up for the american people. pope francis, switching to a much bigger topic here, what was a bigger accomplishment for you? becoming named speaker or having the pope come as your guest? >> a kid that grew up as an altar boy, having poie ining th was a big deal. i've tried the last three popes to get them to come and address a joint session of congress. the first time i did this in 1995 or '96, somehow showed up in the press as my mother called me. still alive then. my mother never called me. so i answer the phone. john, it's your mother. now listen, i see you're inviting the pope. if he comes, i'm there. you got it? yes, mom, i got it. >> she was with you this time?
3:36 am
>> well. looking from above. >> yes, that's what i mean. tell me about that day. the impression it left on you. it's a big deal having you come. then you're in his presence. >> yes, yes. so we had a nice greeting when he came to the capitol. once the cameras were gone and the pope sat down i said, your holy father, you're on boehner time. he looked at me kind of funny. i said, that means you're on time or you're early, and you're early. but we had a wonderful, wonderful chat. and father -- cardinal whorl and myself got into a conversation with the pope about our commitment to kids and education. and then the meeting broke up. and my family came in. and my 6-week-old grandson allistair was blessed by the pope. very nice.
3:37 am
>> and then you told another story about what the pope said to you about prayer. >> we had left the balcony where the pope had addressed all the people in the west front of the capitol. we came through my office. the pope went down the first floor on my elevator and i took the british steps down to the first floor. and in what we now call freedom foyer, i was standing there with the pope. the cardinals and the rest of his entourage were all moving out to their vehicles. and the pope takes his left arm and grabs my left arm. pulls me near him. and saying really nice words. i would repeat them except it would really cause me to cry. and then he put his arm around me. and pulled me right into him and said, "please pray for me."
3:38 am
well. you can imagine. i was a mess. ♪ dry spray? i've never used one of these before. ♪ that's fun. that is fun. ♪ it's already dry! it dried right away. it doesn't feel wet at all right now. no wait time. this is great. ♪ my skin feels loved. it's very soft. there's no white stuff. it does the moisturizing for me. it's everything i love about dove. can i keep it? ♪ all the care of dove. now in a dry antiperspirant spray.

republican presidential front-runner donald trump has had a testy relationship with many fellow gop conned dates and some members of the press. scott pelley sat down with trump for "60 minutes." >> now you've got everybody's attention. >> i do have their attention. >> revolution is easy. governing is hard. and what i'd like to get at is how you intend to govern the country if you're elected president. what's your tax plan? >> substantial reduction for the middle-income people. our admit class is being absolutely december mated. it will be a corporate also reduction. i think it will be a great incentive for corporations. >> who are you going to raise taxes on? >> if you look at actual raise, some very wealthy are going to be raised. some people that are getting unfair deductions are going to be raised. but overall it's going to be a tremendous incentive to grow the
3:41 am
economy and we're going to take in the same or more money and i think we're going to have something that's going to be spectacular. >> republicans don't raise taxes. >> we're not raising taxes. >> what kind of republican are you? >> the only -- well, i'm a pretty good republican but i will tell you this, i do have some differences. i don't want to have certain people on wall street get away with paying no tax. >> you say you're going to lower taxes on the middle chas. what are we talking about? >> we're talking about numbers that will be announced over the next two days and they'll be significant for the middle class. >> you know what the numbers are? >> i know them right now. >> why don't you tell me? this is "60 minutes." it's time to tell the folks at home the details -- >> i will say this, there will be a large segment of our country that will have a zero rate. zero rate. that's something i haven't told anybody. >> you're talking about? >> people in the low-income brackets that are supposed to be paying taxes, many of them don't anyway. >> you're talking about making part of the population exempt from income tax? >> that is correct.
3:42 am
>> you're talking about cutting corporate taxes? >> that is correct. >> $19 trillion debt, you can't afford to do those things. >> if the economy grows the way it should grow, if i bring jobs back from china, japan, mexico, so many countries. everybody's taking our jobs. >> how do you get them back? $20 an hour jobs that this country was built on. >> right, exactly. you get them back by taking them away from other countries. if you look at china -- >> how does the president do that? >> by not allowing places like china to devaluate -- they devalue their currency so such an extent that it's impossible for our companies to compete. every time they do that, they suck the blood right out of our country. >> you're not running for president of china. >> no, i'm not, no. >> you're not going to be able to prevent the devaluation of their currency -- >> sure you are. they don't respect our president, they don't respect our country. they will respect me, they won't be doing it. if they don't come to the table they're going to have a tax when they put their products into this country.
3:43 am
and they're going to be behave. >> you would tax their products coming into the united states? you're talking about a trade war. >> i'm talking about a fair war. i'm talking about also, i have the smartest people on wall street lined up already. they're going to represent us on japan, on mexico. mexico by the way is taking our jobs. i love the mexican people. they're great people. but the leadership is too smart for our country. ford motor company moving a $2.5 billion plant to mexico. >> there's nothing you can do about that as president. >> sure there is. >> how do you keep them from exporting american jobs to mexico? >> let's say ford moves to mexico. they want to sell that car in the united states, they pay a tax. here's what's going to happen. they're not going to build their plant there, they're going to build in the ups. >> but there is a north american free trade agreement. >> there shouldn't be it's a disaster. >> but it's there, if you're president you're going to have to live with it. >> we'll renegotiate it or break it. every agreement has an end. >> you can't just break the law. >> excuse me, every agreement
3:44 am
has an end. every agreement has to be fair. every agreement has a defraud -- we're being defrauded by these countries. >> it's called tree trade and it is a plank of the republican platform. >> we need fair trade. not free trade. we need fair trade. it's got to be fair. >> trump's differences with republicans and democrats have him rising on a mood of national frustration. in our cbs news poll nearly half of republicans in the early primary states say they're not dissatisfied with washington, they're angry. they tell us that business know-how matters much more than a political resume. >> hello, sir. >> reporter: when they see the multi-billionaire in his private 757, 80% of republicans say they see a strong leader. >> so i want to build our country. our country's been decimated. we have spent so much money in the middle east and other places. we are -- our roads are falling apart, our bridges are falling
3:45 am
