♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, february 7th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news ahead, including how a review of business documents reveals that president trump is still listed as the man in charge of several companies. ahead, an ethics expert explains how easy it could be for a foreign government or special interests to funnel money to the pocket of the president. but first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> the white house knows the accusation would lead news organizations to remind their audience of these terrorist events. >> this claim, is it a clear attempt to distract? >> we'll be having a national conversation for the next couple

good morning to you. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and josh elliott. a san francisco appeals court will hear arguments later today on whether to reinstate president trump's executive order on immigration. in court papers filed last night, the justice department argued that the executive action was needed for national security. >> white house press secretary sean spicer told reporters the administration is not rethinking its strategy. >> this executive order was done in the best interests of protecting the american people, and i think this is something that has broad support from the american people from one coast to another, and we're going to continue to do what we have to because the president's committed to making sure that this country and the people are safe. >> lawyers for two states, washington and minnesota, urged the appeals court not to allow the temporary travel ban. they write "the court need not and should not allow constitutional violations merely based on defendants' unsupported invocation of national security concerns."
8:03 am
>> the white house is trying to back up the president's false claims that the media ignores terror attacks. it released a list last night of 78 attacks motivated by the islamic state from september 2014 to december 2016. the list has repeated spelling errors. the white house said that most attacks have not received the media attention they deserved. the document was released after the president said terror incidents go unreported. cbs news alone covered more than 74% of the attacks on the list. the entire list with links to the coverage is available on our website, cbsnews.com. nearly three weeks into his term, president trump claims that he has distanced himself from his businesses. cbs news has searched through the documents to see what steps he's actually taken. some ethics experts say they just don't go far enough. at least 15 golf courses are part of mr. trump's worldwide business empire. a new one will open later this month in dubai.
8:04 am
anna warner's at another trump golf course, this one near los angeles, a look at the conflicts of interest. anna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this golf course in rancho palos verdes in california is still owned by mr. trump, and as president, he still stands to make a profit off of it as well that's new golf course in dubai. this evening, local dubai reporters will get a sneak peek of the newest trump property, an 18-hole golf course in the united arab emirates. in a few weeks, the course will officially open for business and welcome golfers, making it the first major trump project to debut since mr. trump became president. days before the inauguration, mr. trump said he would separate himself from his businesses. >> these papers are all just a piece of the many, many companies that are being put into trust to be run by my two sons. and i hope at the end of eight years, i'll come back and i'll
8:05 am
say, oh, you did a good job. >> reporter: but despite mr. trump's efforts to distance himself, not all documents have yet been filed. for example, trump owns at least four corporations with the word dubai in their names, and to date, none of their management documents have been updated. at least one still lists him as president, according to the delaware secretary of state. in an effort to show progress has been made, the trump organization released this document indicating that mr. trump resigned from over 400 entities. and public records show at least two properties in new york have been transferred to the donald j. trump revocable trust, buts one property remains particularly thorny. the federal government now run by president trump also owns the trump washington, d.c., hotel. the lease specifically says that an elected official cannot be a party to the contract. so new documents filed by the trump organization with washington, d.c., government state that all beneficial
8:06 am
ownership previously held by donald j. trump personally now is held by the donald j. trump revocable trust. the agency overseeing the contract won't tell us yet if this change is sufficient. >> it's a very, very small step in the right direction to the extent that the president has given up his management responsibilities to his sons. the problem, though, is the president still controls the outcome. >> reporter: steven schooner teaches at the george washington university law school. he says the president's ownership of these properties leaves an open avenue for anyone who wants to influence him by buying six-figure golf memberships or choosing trump hotels to host lavish events. >> one of the most scary things about all of this is how easy it is for anyone, a foreign government, a lobbyist or special interest group to literally funnel money into the pockets of the president and the president's family through the hotel properties. >> reporter: the trump organization did not respond to our repeated requests for
8:07 am
comment. now, if you want to play a round of golf here at this golf course, you can. it's open to the public. it charges $300 for a round of golf. but most of mr. trump's golf courses are private, along with the mar-a-lago club in florida. it also is private, and its membership, two democratic senators now want to know who the members are. they want that membership list to be made public. >> anna warner there in rancho palos verdes. thank you for that. meanwhile, new images show barack obama's rather active vacation after leaving the white house. the former president was hosted by billionaire richard branson in the british virgin islands. that is joy and relief. branson says the president revealed he couldn't surf or actually take part in water sports while he was in office for security reasons, so the two men faced off in a friendly challenge of a sort, both learning new sports. mr. obama took up kite surfing, while mr. branson learned foil boarding. branson says the former

who are these middle men that are driving up the price, you say, of the epipen? >> and i would say not driving up the price, but they're all contributing to the price, and they all have an important role. all of the middle men, from wholesalers to insurance to pbms, they're all playing a part. >> that is mylan ceo heather brash breaking down the price for us of her company's life-saving epipen. the device became a focal point in the debate over the rising cost of pharmaceuticals. pbms, pharmacy benefit managers, negotiate drug prices directly with drug companies. they work on behalf of insurance and employer groups that pay for drugs. the companies act as middle men and collect rebates and other fees. pbms say they are the ones trying to lower drug prices. express scripts is the largest pharmacy benefit manager with more than $102 billion in annual revenue. its ceo, tim wintworth, is with us. good morning. >> good morning, norah.
8:15 am
>> thanks for joining us, since you're one of the middle men. i appreciate it. >> i appreciate being here in the middle of all of you. >> for those who don't understand the whole system first, do you agree with heather bresch that there is a lack of transparency in drug pricing? >> i think it depends on where you look. from the standpoint of the 3,000 clients we have and 80 million lives we cover, they know exactly how the dollars flow and so forth, those patients -- those clients do, rather. i would tell you that at the patient level, it has gotten more complex as you've had high-deductible health plans and those sorts of things, in term of the patient knowing and navigating to the lowest cost, and that's where we really have a job to do. >> what do pbms do? >> in a nutshell on behalf of 80 million patients, we take care of them in terms of we have deep specialist pharmacy practice, we negotiate with drug companies, as you said to get the prices down. and then we also negotiate with retail pharmacies. as you know, there are 70,000 of them in this country. and by narrowing down the choices to a reasonable number there, we can get significant discounts there. >> so, my understanding, though,
8:16 am
is that just as a drug company, when they -- when the price of a drug increases, you get a rebate, and that rebate gets larger, so everyone benefits from a higher drug price, including pbms. >> no, we quite frankly would be happy to not have high drug prices. if you look at the pbm model, we benefit most when we can drive clients to generic penetration where there are no rebates. and when we do attain rebates, our clients determine and it helps them stay in the benefit providing business, as it were. so, those rebates flow through us. 100% of the time our clients determine where it goes. but let me make the point, pharma companies determine their prices and pharma companies determine whether or not they want to discount their price at a net cost level through rebates or whether they want to lower it to a list price that's discounted. >> but consumers -- >> rebates are rebates. >> consumers listen to you and say it sounds good what you're saying, but all i know is it costs a lot to fill my prescription, so we're pointing fingers all over the place, including at your company. what's the advantage of using a
8:17 am
pbm as opposed to negotiating directly to the drug company? >> the role we play with aggregating those 80 million lives enables us to make wholesale changes to the system. if you look at help cites pp ti brought that down by bringing an entire population to the table and showing that manufacturer they could access those patients if they got the price right. that's what us doing our job enables. >> this is a cause president trump has taken up. what could the administration do here? >> i think the administration can look to what we've already done to sort of look forward. if you take the department of defense, using something like a pbm, using our company, express scripts, they can put into place a program that helps our payers keep their prices low by virtue of letting us continue to negotiate with pharma manufacturers, allowing us to continue to do the things we do. and most importantly, letting us invest in that patient toolset that enables the 80 million people that we have and the
8:18 am
hundreds of millions of people in our country as their benefit designs change navigate through the lower cost. >> so, this is complicated, but i think i understand it pretty well. you're saying we can buy in bulk. that's a way we can negotiate with pharma, we can help reduce the price of a drug, as you point out. but why does the price of drugs keep going up? according to your own report, it went up 11% last year. >> it did, on a gross basis. and the good news for our clients -- >> you've got good news, though. >> the unit price of drugs went up 2.5%. and the way that that happens i can't explain. you need a pharma company ceo explain why they keep raising the prices. i saw your interview with mylan and i heard the explanation. it doesn't make sense to me, because at the end of the day, you know from a standpoint of drug prices, pharma companies are making that determination. our job is, quite frankly, to the extent that they've been inflating them, to make sure our clients don't pay those higher prices. >> just this question, when the price of drugs goes up, does the rebate you receive also go up?
8:19 am
>> not always, but when it does, it flows through to our clients, as we've predetermined with our clients. >> to gayle's point here, watching this now, it does seem as though they're just fingers being pointed back and forth, and i'm forced to decide who the bad guy is. >> that's -- and i understand that. but what i'd say is when you look at what we do and the results we got -- again, our report yesterday shows that it may not be simple. i'm not going to sit here and tell you it's a simple process, but we get results. >> could you make public the amount pbms receive in rebates? could you make that more transparent so that the consumer, the patient could understand this supply chain, who is getting a cut of every piece of the drug before it reaches the patient? would you support that? >> we support absolute transparency with our clients, and we support as well transparency with patients. in fact, we have clients where the rebate in part is also taken to the point of sale for the member. that's really a client decision based on how they're overall funding their program. so we absolutely support that kind of transparency.
8:20 am
>> the only reason i say, the interesting thing is, when we go to the store, an over-the-counter drug, we can see the price underneath and make a choice about which drug to choose. that doesn't exist among prescription drugs. >> actually, for our patients, they can go online and use our digital tools that we've made significant investments in and see not only -- they can see their balances and their high deductible plans across medical and pharmacy, they can see the price of a drug, they can see the lowest cost retail pharmacy to get that, or even better, they can get 90 days in mail in many cases and see exactly what they'll pay. >> that's helpful. >> there are solutions. >> thank you. u.s. soccer great hope solo said she never thought she could get fired for being a poor sport. ahead, a preview of our revealing interview for "60 minutes sports." you are watching "cbs this morning." sport. ahead of our interview for "60 minutes" sports. you're watching "cbs this morning."
