good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, august 9, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news ahead including donald trump's newest attack on hillary clinton. and cia insider michael morell tells charlie why he thinks trump is too dangerous to be president. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> he read his economic speech and handed over most of his tax policy to house republicans. a rare act of humility -- >> it's an allegation for which there is no proof. the kind of charge which a normal election would turn a race upsidedown. >> he was difference yesterday at the news conference in terms of temperament and demeanor. >> yes. 12, 14, by various counts of
8:01 am
times where his speech was interrupted by protesters. not once did he take them on. >> riot eventually stopped after people on the ground eventually screamed at the ride operators. >> check out the line here for people trying to check in and check their bags. >> now, the airline is investigating what happened and the big question why their backup system didn't kick in. american swimmers took home six individual medals including a very big win over russia. now, if you're wondering why we show pictures from the olympics instead of footage, it's because we're not allowed to. in fact, the international olympic committee won't allow us to show the olympic ring. for the rest of our coverage we'll be showing this logo done by our graphics department. nion you rings. hey, man. that's how we do it. this morning's eye opener at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual insurance. i'm charlie rose with gayle
8:02 am
king and dana jacobson. new numbers this morning bolster clinton's lead 51% to 41%. >> donald trump is still losing support from other tom republicans. maine senator susan collins writes in "the washington post" this, i am a lifelong republican, but donald trump does not reflect historical republican values. she is the most senior gop senator to say she will not vote for donald trump. >> donald trump may be reaching out to other officials in his party. in a speech yesterday he scrapped a tax plan that he announced last september. he replaced it with a less expensive one, it was drafted by horse republicans. it would use three tax brackets of 12, 25 and 33 percent, during that economic speech in destroit trump also attacked the policies of hillary clinton and president obama. clinton hit back during a campaign swing in florida, but some of their plans did sound a lot alike.
8:03 am
>> the rich will pay their fair share. >> i intend to make the wealthy pay their fair share. >> we will eliminate the carried interest deduction. well-known deduction. and other special interest loopholes that have been so good for wall street investors and for people like me. >> he wants to roll back regulations on wall street. i want to tighten them. >> upon taking office, i will issue a temporary moratorium on new agency regulations. >> we've got to work together to make sure small businesses have a chance to cut through the red tape, they get the help that they need. >> we will build the next generation of roads, bridges, railways, tunnels, seaports and airports. >> our roads, our bridges, our tunnels, our ports, our airports, our water systems, our sewer systems, they are in desperate need of being either
8:04 am
repaired and maintained or built. >> donald trump shifted focus dramatically last night appearing to blame hillary clinton for iran's execution of a nuclear scientist. trump did not provide any evidence. he tweeted, quote, many people are saying that the iranians killed the scientist who helped the u.s. because of hillary clinton's hacked e-mails. iran's government announced sunday that he was executed after spying for the u.s. he was defected to america in 2009 but decided to return to iran the next year. a clinton spokesman says trump is lying, tweeting, many people are saying equals i made this up. dozens of national security and foreign policy experts warn that donald trump could be, quote, the most reckless president in american history. the group of 50 republicans signed an open letter yesterday vowing not to vote for trump. they include former directors of the cia and national intelligence, plus two former homeland security secretariesec.
8:05 am
in a statement trump called the group, quote, nothing more than the failed washington elite. >> michael morell endorsed hillary clinton in friday's "new york times." the former cbs news contributor called trump, quote, a threat to our national security. i spoke with morell last night on my pbs program. so tell me about why you felt compel compell compelled to change where you were, contributor to cbs, on public boards, former acting director and deputy director of the cia, a man who'd gain increasing respect for his voice because of the access to media to say i'm going in a different direction? >> two things, i think, brought me to the decision to write the op-ed. one was a growing belief that donald trump -- mr. trump, i
8:06 am
don't want to be disrespectful here, that mr. trump would be a threat to our national security as commander in chief. he has said things on the campaign trail that have assisted our adversaries, that have assisted vladimir putin, that have assisted isis. and then the second was, i've known hillary clinton a long time. and i felt that some of the perceptions that are out there about her are just not true. and so putting both of those reasons together, i decided to speak out. and one of the things, charlie, that struck me as i was going through this and i was actually writing the op-ed and talking to people about my views is that there were many people who share my views. there are many people who share what i wrote in that op-ed, but they're afraid to speak out. they're afraid of being attacked. they're afraid of the republican party not being with them down the road, right?
8:07 am
i felt afraid of not speaking out. i felt afraid of the consequences of not speaking out. and i think that serious republicans of which there are many need to think about the consequences of not speaking out. >> morell also criticized trump's relationship with russia's president. >> here's what i would like to see him do. i would like to see him stand up tomorrow and denounce putin's military incursion into ukraine. i would like to see him denounce putin's annexation of crimea. i'd like to see him denounce putin's assistance to the rebels in eastern ukraine that resulted in the shootdown of the malaysian airliner. i'd like to see him renounce what putin is doing in syria supporting a butcher and dictator. i'd like to see him just stand up and denounce putin. and i'll tell you that at the end of the day putin would have more respect for him than he
8:08 am
does now. >> you said he's an agent of the russian federation. >> unwitting agent of the federation recruited by putin. that's why he's taken the positions he's taken. >> morell also talked about what he personally would like to see done in syria, what he would like to see done in syria to end the civil war there. >> when we were in iraq, the iranians were giving weapons to the shia militia who were killing american soldiers. >> right. >> iranians were making us pay a price. we need to make the iranians pay a price in syria. we need to make the russians pay a price. here's what i want to do. i want to go after those things that assad sees as his personal power base. i want to scare assad. i want to destroy his presidential aircraft on the ground. i want to destroy his presidential helicopters. i want to make him think we're coming after him, right? i'm not advocating assassinating
8:09 am
him, i'm not advocating that. i'm advocating going after what he thinks is his power base, right, and what he needs to survive. i want him to think about this is not going to end well for me. >> what he's saying is he would like to see this done on the ground by our allies of people who are in opposition to the assad government. that they ought to be doing more to make the russians fear, the iranians fear and assad fear. >> i remember after reading michael morell's book he certainly has credentials to backup all the things he says, but he's really stepping out and speaking up. >> shows you how someone who's been involved with the cia the minds think. a sense of how he sees the world. and as he said there are many others like him. >> wonder how much that resonates with people out there when they hear from him. >> i think so too. team usa begins day four of the rio games after winning several more medals. go usa. the united states leads all
8:10 am
countries with 19 overall medals. we should say that again. lead all countries with 19 overall medals including five golds. china has 13 medals. japan and russia have 10. ben tracy is live with a roundup of some of yesterday's big, big victories. good morning to you again. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. you can't get rid of me this morning. before we get to the utter dominance in the pool here in rio, let's talk about what happened on the sand last night, or more accurately early this morning because these volleyball matches have been taking place around midnight. and that's when we saw the u.s. team take action. we saw kerir walsh-jennings, remaining undefeated in her career. in all four olympics she's only dropped one set. in swimming the u.s. took home six individual medals. one went to 19-year-old lily king in the 100 meter breaststroke beating her russian rival whose doping ban was
8:11 am
overturned just days before she was allowed to get in the pool. michael phelps came in second in the 200 meter butterfly semifinals. tonight he'll go for his 24th medal in that same event in the finals. it's being called the rematch in rio trying to redeem himself from the london olympics. american divers won silver in synchronized diving. johnson burst into tears when he saw the scoreboard and saw they had the medal. today of course it is back to womens gymnastics. the fierce five is looking to repeat as olympic champions. team usa heavily favored to win that event because they just crushed the competition in the qualifying round. so it should be another good night watching the olympics and seeing some americans take home a lot more hardware, gayle. >> another good night. another late night. thank you very much, ben tracy. 15 years after 9/11, are we any safer? we'll talk with an,,

>> steven, this is extraordinary. number one, it's 20,000 words, you did a lot of work on this piece. but what's pass mafascinating t me is how you compared september 10th 2001 and after that. you said john ashcroft had -- >> the attorney general had rejected a request from the fbi to increase their antiterror branches. and the fbi officials testified in congress that day, that the biggest terrorism threat in the united states was from animal life activists. >> that's peta? >> right. >> and on september 11th, you'll remember, the president was reading to school children in an elementary children in florida. and ashcroft was on his way reading to school children in milwaukee. so that was a different time. this is now 15 years of what i call the september 12th era. and it's been a difficult time.

8:38 am
and the day avenufter, i can sey the president would want to reassure the country of that but it's totally unrealistic. but the idea that somebody can say i'm running for president and i'm going to declare war on islam. and the day i take office all of this is going to stop, it's just ridiculous. it's exactly what a terrorist want us to say. >> we assume efforts have been made and they've been thwarted. >> yes. >> and the second question comes up in terms of the future. what is it that we need to do, or not do? >> we need to deal with bio terrorist threats. dirty bomb threats. >> how do we get to it is my question? >> to deal with a dirty bomb is actually easy. it doesn't cost anything. what that entails the president of the united states getting on the bullypulpit and saying this
8:39 am
bomb is scarier than it is. >> you're saying the reaction? >> yeah, the reaction. the other thing we have to do, is we have to accept the fact that never again is a fallacy. we seem to be okay with accepting the fact that people can be mentally ill do these things but we don't accept it for terrorists. >> in a political year, you talk about an october surprise? >> right. i think that is a real possibility in part because, i don't want to engage on the price of politics, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the terrorists would love to have someone like a donald trump be the president of the united states because he is willing to declare war on all muslims. and that's the way they have framed the issue since september 11.

i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.
