>> yeah, ready? >> do you do the tease? >> go sharks. >> thanks for watching. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com ♪ good morning viewers in the west. it is thursday may 12th, 2016. welcome to "cbs this morning." donald trump is meeting right now with paul ryan and other republican leaders in washington. the meeting could have a profound impact on the future of the grand old party. a video shows police punching after a chase. morley safer signs off after half a century at "cbs this morning." >> but first today's eye-opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> who is the leader of the republican party. >> i would say paul for the time being and maybe for a long time.

>> donald trump meets with speaker ryan. >> donald went nuclear on a lot of republicans and i think there's residual frustration and anger at donald. >> i am not going to respond to the attacks coming from donald trump in this campaign. >> she's fighting donald trump, she's fighting bernie sanders. >> please do not moan to me about hillary clinton's problems. >> a suspect who appears to be surrendering pummeled by cops, led on a chase. raining so hard. >> never seen anything like it. >> two pieces found in march almost certainly from malaysian flight. >> former police officer charged with gunning down an unarmed black man facing federal charges. >> my son is gone. i'll never see him again. >> the man who climbed a tower in hollywood shut down part of sunset for hours.

>> it's not worth it. >> daring rescue in southern california, a speeding car rolled over and burst into flames. >> all that -- >> morley safer is retiring after more than half a century at cbs news with that unique safer touch. >> pure unadulterated luck and i've been a very lucky guy. >> all that matters -- >> budweiser announced they were rename their beer america. >> now that it's named america, they have to change the shape of the can. >> starting in june you're not an alcoholic, you're a patriot. >> pitched himself into the history books last night. >> 20 strikeouts from scherzer. >> man, that's -- >> this morning's eye-opener is presented by toyota, let's go places.

welcome to "cbs this morning" as you wake up in the west, donald trump is meeting right now with house speaker paul ryan. trump flew into washington this morning on his 757. ryan stopped for breakfast at burrito brothers, a mexican restaurant in the capital. >> the two are discussing significant policy differences that divide them. a week ago ryan announced he's not ready yet to support trump in november. major garrett at the meeting site at the headquarters in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump is inside republican national committee headquarters meeting with the party chairman reince priebus and house speaker paul ryan. he's drawn dozens of cameras, hundreds of reporters. and as you can hear, a large contingent of protesters calling trump among other things a racist and saying he and the republican party are now aligned. it's that rough alliance trump

is going to have to work through and with his republican leaders. >> i think we want to see if we have the same ideas because i represent a large group of people with very strong ideas and foundations. >> donald trump remained optimistic differences with house speaker paul ryan can be dealt with. >> you can have differences. if you agree on 70%, that's a lot. >> reporter: finding 70% agreement will be a challenge. >> they want to cut your social security. i'm not cutting your social security. >> you cannot tackle debt problem in america if you don't fix this entitlement problem. >> we have 11 million people in the country that came in illegally. they have to go out. >> we have to come up with a solution that doesn't involve mass deportation. >> donald trump is calling for a shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> what was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for. >> trump stepped back from his temporary ban on muslim immigration and named former new york mayor rudy giuliani head of a commission to study it.

>> we have exceptions. again, it's temporary. ultimately, it's my aim to have it lifted. right now there is no ban. >> congressman kissnzinger remas opposed. >> if he doesn't change his rhetoric, his beliefs, if he doesn't articulate them better, a lot of people will hold out. >> trump took heat from mitt romney, it is disqualifying for trump to refuse to release his tax returns, adding the documents would rule out hidden inappropriate associations with foreignentities, corinth organizations or other unsavory groups. trump insists voters don't care and wouldn't learn much. >> a tax return you learn very, very little. at the right time i'll release them. i hope to release them. >> trump claims he cannot release his tax returns because they are under active audit. the irs says there are no regulations that prevent a taxpayer from doing exactly that. of course, there's some history

between mitt romney and donald trump on this issue. trump said romney was unwise not to immediately release his tax returns in 2012 and saying his failure to do so hurt him very badly. >> all right, major. thank you very much. mitt romney has an unlikely ally criticizing donald trump for withholding those income tax returns. democratic candidate hillary clinton stepped up her attacks yesterday. she's also suggesting he may have something to hide. nancy cordes tracking the democratic race. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. clinton camp points out even notoriously secretive richard nixon released his returns prior to being audited. >> my husband and i have release 3rd 3 years of tax returns. >> clinton waded into the tax flap in new jersey. >> you've got to ask your self, why doesn't he want to release them. yeah, well, we're going to find out. >> reporter: the topic was a welcome diversion for clinton

after a disappointing primary in virginia. her campaign admits her rough patch probably isn't over, warning donors in a memo obtained by cbs news that, quote, a number of upcoming primary contests in may structurally favor bernie sanders but their outcomes will not change the trajectory of the primary. >> west virginia, thank you. >> reporter: to understand why, just look at west virginia. sanders won the state by 15 points but got just 7 more pledge delegates than clinton and he's trailing by nearly 300 with just eight states left to vote. >> we've been fighting an uphill battle from day one. >> sanders got frustrated wednesday when asked if his long shot campaign is hurting clinton in her fight against trump. >> please do not moan to me about hillary clinton's problems. i'm in this race to win. we're taking on the democratic establishment. >> but with the largest primary looming, the senator's california state director has bankruptly stepped down.

in a statement he said he left because the campaign, quote, started to ignore digital organizing and started focusing on tv ad buys which has led to a series of defeats. >> tv ads and organizing have both been strengths for the sanders campaign, but a couple of weeks ago the staff was cut in half and the budget for advertising has shrunk, too, which has led, charlie, to tough decisions in this closing stretch. >> thanks, nancy. mark leibovich in washington, good morning. >> hi, charlie, good to be here. >> is this conflict at its core more about style or more about content. >> as far as democrats go. >> no, donald trump. >> donald trump. yes. i think it's about both. this essentially -- this story will be driven by what paul ryan says at the end. i think paul ryan is obviously getting some pressure, especially from his caucus to come around and just support the presumptive nominee. at the same time, and we don't see this as clearly, he's

getting a lot of pressure privately from prominent republicans, mitt romney among them, to hold firm because ryan is the last line of defense for actually the never trump movement in so much as it ever existed at all. >> mitt romney stepped up the heat yesterday saying donald trump's refusal to release any of his tax returns is disqualifying donald trump, would be breaking with four decades of precedent on this matter. could this be very tough for him? >> i think it is. mitt romney is serving what is a pretty precise purpose here. he's taking the role of the conscience of the republican -- not so much establishment but republican path. donald trump said most americans don't care about this. true to a appoint. it's arcane, tax returns are something that make people's eyes glaze over. at the same time it's a nagging issue. it's gone on for a long time.

it muddled the straight ahead tone donald trump likes to assume. >> medical records, what about medical records. >> medical records also. i guess a few months ago he released that completely superlative statement from his doctor. again, these are two kind of lingering spring issues you don't want them to bleed into the summer especially in an election like this. >> he announced a fundraising campaign. he spent a lot of time saying i don't need anybody else's money. do you think supporters will care about this, mark? >> i think this is probably less of a big issue, just because people understand in a general election, we're probably talking bought billions. whether donald trump had that money or not, or would be willing to spend it or not, it's the kind of thing most people would assume if you have one of two candidates you're going to round up as many supporters as you can. i don't think that will be a big issue but again takes away from the message. >> cbs will bring full coverage of trump's meetings with the republican leadership.

opened an investigation and the massachusetts state police are looking into whether troopers used excessive force in apprehending the suspect.5:t >> about an hour after he sped away from police wednesday afternoon, richard simone of worcester, massachusetts was on his knees facing about 10 officers, some with their guns drawn. one officer seemed to lunge at him and land a punch and others joined in. the beating went on for more than 20 seconds. the 50-year-old suspect took over a dozen blows from officers' fists and feet. a massachusetts state police spokesperson said simone had warrants for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, larceny and failure to stop for police. >> wasn't fighting him so a little bit much. >> massachusetts state police said they would conduct two separate reviews to determine whether the level of force used was appropriate. >> this is a high pressure situation. everybody's adrenaline is pumping. >> former boston police commissioner ed davis. >> it does appear he's complying

with the officers' orders. until they tart to move very close to them, there doesn't appear to be a problem. what happened in those last seconds is going to be crucial to this investigation. but clearly this is a tough video. >> reporter: the suspect reportedly sped up to 90 miles an hour during the chase. at one point he struck a utility pole but police officials did not say whether simone was hurt. charlie. >> thanks. a former south carolina police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man pleaded not guilty to federal charges. michael schrager accused of depriving civil rights in the shooting. he fired eight times, eight times as scott ran away after a traffic stop. he also faces a state murder charge. he could get life in prison. investigators this morning said newly found debris almost certainly comes from missing malaysian jetliner.

u.s. forces are helping to train iraquis use old tanks like these in the fight against isis. it's no exaggeration to say some of the recruits are far younger than tanks. there's a military saying, you fight with what you've got. these will be crucial in the battle to take over cities like fallujah and mosul. 250 more american forces are on their way to iraq, and they can't get here quickly enough. yesterday we're reminded of the lethal reach of isis when the militant group launched triple attacks in baghdad, some of the worst violence the city has seen this year. >> they say this is the fourth generation. >> reporter: we spoke with one u.s. soldier back here in 2004 and faced some of the worst fighting in the insurgency then. he says he's absolutely convinced isis can be defeated. how quickly depends on how fast the iraquis can get their act together and confront the militant group on the battlefield. for "cbs this morning," charlie

investigating this fire. >> reporter: wednesday after more than three years and more than $2 million investigation, federal authorities revealed the fire that sparked the explosion was deliberately set in a seed room at the facility. >> the fire has been ruled as incendiary. this means this fire was a criminal act. >> reporter: during their investigation, authorities said they rebuilt part of the plant in their lab, conducted more than 400 interviews, and analyzed evidence found as far away as 2.5 miles from the blast site. >> there's anger. there's confusion. there's frustration. >> reporter: just days after the blast, we first met paster john crowder and his family who lost their home. we spoke to crowder again wednesday after he learned of the findings. >> i really was surprised. i had settled in my mind that they were going to say it was some kind of electrical problem. >> reporter: it's hard to think that somebody would intentionally set that fire. >> exactly. exactly.

describing the side effects. >> the candy maker tells "cbs this morning" it is a lawfully operated business that complies with required labels. the seller had no comment. rikki klieman joins us at the table to -- hello, good to see you. we're very friendly here. >> we are. one of the things you said is really, really important. what this is about is a failure to warn. >> this is the first wrongful death case. >> it is the first wrongful death case in the country against marijuana as an industry. it is, in fact, very profitable indust industry. it will be nearly a billion-dollar industry where it is legalized. what these plaintiffs' lawyers have said is, look, it's a product like any other product. it condition be defective. it must have warning labels. warning for what? well, it needs to warn about proper dosage. it needs to warn about safe use

and side effects. that's the essence of the lawsuit. there are regulations which you noted, but those regulations have only come about in 2015. in 2014, at the time of this terrible tragedy -- and if you listen to the 911 call or read the transcript, the transcript is chilling. that woman was on the phone with 911 for 11 or 12 minutes as she watched what she described as her husband's psychotic break. >> what will be the defense by the marijuana company? >> it's interesting because the defense by the marijuana company is to say, wait a minute here, this is a bad guy. this is a guy what committed a homicide. that defense goes along with a criminal prosecution because the criminal prosecution of mr. kirk is that there may have been marital problems or financial difficulties, and this is intentional. this is not about negligence. >> there is legal precedent for

companies being held responsible for behavior that happens when other people eat or consume or drive their products. >> of course, of course. and what -- otherwise you would have no product liability cases at all. what we have here is that the defense in the civil case of the husband is exactly what the liability is. >> what do you think happens? >> i think the case goes forward. whether or not we get to a jury trial is another question because in this case, you have edible marijuana. that's what we have to consider. edible marijuana is coming upon you slower and slower. you take something the size of a tootsie roll, which he did. you take a bite, you don't get high. you keep eating. you were supposed to have one mini bite like a tootsie roll.

last fall at the company's next los angeles. >> we literally build a full-scale tube between any two destinations. inside, we have a pod that we can send people or cargo very quickly. >> reporter: some critics say wednesday's test shows there's still a long way to go. >> keep in mind that this was a very short distance, and its maximum speed was one-tenth the speed of what a hyperloop system would be. >> reporter: the concept hyperloop 1 is working on gained traction in 2013 after tesla and spacex ceo elon musk released a design plan. there's competition. >> the fact that there are several compaies working on this means there are a lot of people who take this idea seriously and are determined to try and make it happen. however, infrastructure is very hard. it just takes time to take an idea and turn it into reality. >> reporter: the hyperloop 1 ceo rob lloyd told us that reality

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is thursday, may 12th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including donald trump's fundraising challenge. why he may have to court the establishment in washington today after attacking it for almost a year. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> donald trump's. >> this conflict more about style or content? >> this story will be driven by what paul ryan says at the end. >> the clinton camp points out that even the notoriously secretive richard nixon released his taxes while being audited.

>> the massachusetts state police are looking into whether troopers used excessive force in apprehending the suspect. >> this latest confirmation bolsters investigators that the plane went down somewhere in the indian ocean. >> we're at a military training camp outside of baghdad. 250 more american forces are on their way to iraq. >> they can tell any kind of story, whether it's a lamborghini or the muppets or talking about a village burning in vietnam. >> i always liked seeing him laugh on camera. always so genuine when he did it. >> over the weekend, a man broke the world record for donkey kong, making it through the entire game using up just one life. [ cheers and applause ] yeah, yeah. one life. that's right. his own. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. we expect to hear from house speaker paul ryan shortly about

this morning's meeting with donald trump. before they sat down, ryan had breakfast at burrito brothers, a mexican restaurant in washington. >> the republican chairman tweeted minutes ago the meeting was great. it was a very positive step toward party unity. trump and ryan began the meeting with big differences. >> i will do everything within my power not to touch social security, to leave it the way it is. >> you can not tackle the debt crisis coming in america if you do not fix this entitlement problem. >> from a practical standpoint, it's going to get renegotiated. in my opinion, the taxes for the rich will go up somewhat. >> we want all americans, when they look at washington, to see spending going down, taxes going down, debt going down. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the united states. >> this is not conservativism. what was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for and more importantly it's not

what this country stands for. >> now donald trump says the gop can have its differences and still unite behind him. and a reminder for you. our 24-hour streaming network, cbsn, will bring you full coverage today of donald trump's meeting with the republican leadership. you can watch at cbsnews.com, the cbs news app. many republicans continue to say they're unhappy with donald trump. mitt romney is blasting donald trump for not making his tax returns public. romney wrote, quote, it is disqualifying for a modern day presidential nominee to refuse to release tack returns. there's only one logical explanation for mr. trump's refusal to release his turns. there's a bombshell in them. trump says he can't reveal his returns because he says they're being audited. >> i just think there's some years outside the audit that might be released. >> first of all, if there are, they're meaningless. it's so far back. i built a company with very little debt.

all of this stuff is certified numbers. very, very little debt, tremendous cash flow, great assets. that's something, and people go over that and they're very impressed. you learn very little from a tax return. >> regardless of what those tax returns show, donald trump needs money for the november campaign. the goal is to raise $1 billion by mid-october. that is one reason he is talking with the republican national committee. anna goldman has an insider's view of how this affects trump's outsider campaign. juliana, good morning. >> good morning. for donald trump to raise $1 billion, it means he has to bring in about $45 million a week. it's a pretty tall order for someone who's won millions of votes from deriding big money in politics and is basically starting from scratch. >> i'm self-funding my campaign. i'm not taking all of this blood money. i'm not having lobbyists and i'm not having citibank and i'm not having -- i fund it myself. >> it was a defining sales pitch for donald trump. >> you know what i'm getting for

this movement? i get nothing. i'm self-funding my campaign, okay. >> a line he repeated in ads -- >> i'm self-funding my campaign. >> in interviews -- >> i'm putting up my own money. >> and on the campaign trail. >> i'm self-funding. >> and it worked. 58% of voters in a recent cbs news poll said trump was not influenced by special interests. but with the nomination in reach, he's reversing course. >> i'm raising money, but i'm raising money really for the party. >> not only will he be asking for money, but trump already has super pacs. >> i think you're starting at a billion dollars right now. >> frank donnatelli is a long-time fundraiser. he says trump is behind. >> you're going to need people with good contact lists that can write checks themselves but also bring their friends and relatives to the table also. it takes a full-court press on behalf of the candidate and the campaign. >> the billionaire businessman is scrambling to get that team. he hired top fundraisers who

worked for marco rubio and mitt romney. he also has the backing of a reported half dozen gop benefactors like billionaire t. boone pickens. but others, like the koch brothers, are still standing on the sidelines. >> it's just bowing to reality that that's what you have to do to be competitive in november. >> competitive against hillary clinton, who's already raised almost $168 million from individual contributions. compared to just over $12 million for trump. but even if he's trying to open the fundraising flood gate, he still said this just last week. >> i'm self-funding my campaign. take a look at hillary with her money. take a look at where she's getting that money. >> now, later this month, trump will be kicking off a string of 50 fundraisers beginning with an event in california. norah, in order to get to that billion-dollar mark, he's probably going to need to start making calls to those special interests he said he'd never bow down to. >> really interesting. juliana, thank you so much.

an unusual twist at the invictus games in florida. elizabeth marks won all four of her swimming events yesterday. but it's what she did with one of her medals that's getting attention. she returned the medal when prince harry placed it around her neck. the prince initially refused. marks explained she wanted to give it to happenworth hospital in the united kingdom. she credits the medical team there with with saving her life in --. >> this day has been beautiful and special simply because the people i get to stand next to and swim with. i finally got to express how much i love the people who supported me so it feels good. >> marks is a combat medic. she has no sensation in her left leg after suffering serious hip injuries in iraq. she still serves in the military. what a beautiful gift. >> such a lovely gesture. you could see he clearly didn't want to take it.

mmm. baclet's instabrag.d. honey, jalapeño boom boom, h-how is there no bacon emoji? denny's new honey jalapeño bacon, part of the red white and bacon menu. denny's. welcome to america's diner. in our morning rounds, a preliminary study about autism is raising concerns in the medical community. researchers found new mothers with high levels of folic acid and vitamin b-12 were more likely to have kids diagnosed

with autism spectrum disorder. doctors and health officials stress women should keep taking prenatal supplements proven to prevent other serious birth defec defects. our dr. tara narula is just back from maternity leave. first, how's the baby? >> terrific. we're in love. >> big sister? >> her big sister is doing well. thank you. >> there they are. >> does she love her little sister? >> she does. at times she doesn't. most of the time she does. >> this is a really interesting study because, as you know, as a recent mother, and i remember it's one of the first rules you get. take folic acid. it's so important. what did this study find? >> researchers analyzed 1400 mother/child pairs from a single center in boston. they basically took the blood from the mother one to three days after she gave birth. they asked her about her supplement use and followed the children for 15 years. they found women who had very high levels of folics acid in te blood were two times more likely to have a child diagnosed with asd. if they had very high levels of both folate and b12, they were

17 times more likely. this was a small study. it's not been published yet in a journal. it's not peer reviewed. it's very preliminary. >> does it recommend how much? >> the recommend for how much folic acid a woman should get is 400 to 800 micrograms per day for most women of child-bearing age. the important thing is they take it the entire time in their 20s to 40s because when you get pregnant, you may not know you're pregnant. the early week of pregnancy are the times when the neural tube is forming. that's the spine, the brain. that's the birth defect we see when a woman lacks folics s aci. >> the headline is a little frightening, yet all the major health groups still say you should take it. we don't want that point to be missed. >> absolutely. that's why we're reporting on it, to say that the headline can be misleading. the cdc still says about one out of four women don't get enough

folic acid and neural tube defects affect 3,000 pregnancies a year. because of our public health measures to educate women about folic acid, we've been able to decrease these birth defects by about a thousand a year. >> so there's lots of studies that show a correlation and not necessarily causation. so what do you think is behind the fact that these women who have elevated levels of this vitamin and folic acid have children who have an increased likelihood to have autism? >> we don't know. there are a lot of possible mechanisms. one is they ate a lot of food with folate in it, used a lot of supplements with folate in it. they somehow absorbed more of the folate than the other women or didn't metabolize it or break it down. but really, there's a lot of unanswered questions we don't know. >> to be clear, the current medical view of how autism is caused is what? >> i think we don't really know. there are a lot of questions about what's happening in early production during the fetal growth and times that could be

precipitating the development of autism down the road. >> i thought it was environmental triggers for a predisings to genetically. >> it can be. but the question is what environmental trigger. we don't really know. >> good information. thank you. >> for now, keep taking your folic acid. >> bottom line. >> just not too much. >> say hello to the baby. >> thank you. >> and the dad and the big sister. the whole family. dr. tara narula joining us. we're glad she's back. thank you. ahead, the food critic who turns restaurant reviews into revelations. this may be the first time you've ever seen a helicopter help cover a story about culinary discoveries. you'll see what pulitzer prize winner jonathan gold is discovering in los angeles. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." goodbye icky sunscreen. hello new coppertone sport. it's reformulated to feel lighter on your skin, but still protects and stays on strong.

at every restaurant along this road, pico boulevard. everybody's got to have a hobby, right? pico is a ribbon of concrete that runs straight through a vast array of l.a.'s ethnic pockets. here he could experience the world one bus stop and one dish at a time. >> you drive down the streets, and you see neighborhoods that look monolithic. when you start observing them on the block by block or business by business level, it turns out to be much more of the intricate mosa mosaic. >> reporter: this is an example of why you didn't need to go anywhere elsing to previously a food critic because you could get so much on this strip. >> beak so l.a.'s back porch -- pico is l.a.'s back porch. >> reporter: one of those restaurant is this guatemalan seafood place. a good word from gold can put an unknown hideaway like this on the culinary map overnight. >> wonderful. for everybody. >> reporter: do you think about the power you have to make or break a restaurant?

>> i try not to think before. i get to make people who do their job superbly well a little more prosperous. that's a nice thing. >> reporter: jonathan gold is as much food critic as anthropologist, on a quest to search out the noodfoods that de him. >> i can't think of anything more enjoyable than checking out a new restaurant in a new part of town for the first time and seeing what's going on. >> reporter: whether you're getting paid or not. >> i probably would. don't tell me boss. cheers. >> reporter: that secret may already be out. for "cbs this morning," i'm lee cowan in jonathan gold's los angeles. >> ah. i like that. >> love to hang out with him. what a great job. make people happy all day. >> yeah. a lottery winner hits the million-dollar jackpot again. next, how the story is about devotion, not just the dollars. and look at some of the special cameras that we have in studio 57. they are called vogue 180-degree
