7:06 am
working alongside local investigators as well to figure out what happened. president trump will speak to a joint session of congress tonight for the first time. he will layout his legislative priorities for the year to come. it's not considered a state of the union address because the president has just started his term. he's expected to demand a large increase in military spending. he wants to pay for it by slashing foreign aid and cutting spending for the environmental protection agency and other government offices. margaret brennan is at the white house with what the president is expected to say. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president trump is facing record-low approval ratings and plans to use his address tonight to refocus his administration and declare early progress on delivering the campaign promises that helped him get elected. >> all i can do is speak from the heart and say what i want to do. >> reporter: president trump said he claims to zero in on the
7:07 am
economy and security. >> i will be talking about the military, and i will be talking about the border. >> reporter: white house officials say the president will layout his optimistic vision for the country, a contrast to his inaugural address. >> this american carnage stops right here. >> mr. trump will revisit the executive orders he signed during his month in august, include pulling out of a free trade deal, and talking about his meetings with coal miners and union leaders and health care secure teufexecutives. >> nobody knew it would be so complicated. >> reporter: he has yet to unveil the cost of replacing it. tonight he will call in the congress to help with a new plan. >> it's going to be a competitive plan, and costs will come down, and i think the
7:08 am
health care will go substantially. >> one issue that may attract bipartisan support will be mr. trump's call for a $1 trillion ins infrastructure plan. >> we spent trillions in the middle east and we have potholes all over our streets. >> reporter: white house officials are planning an increase in defense spending and cuts to most government agencies and foreign aid. foreign aid makes up just 1% of federal spending, and over 120 retired u.s. generals issues a warning against cutting it and arguing that foreign aid, quote, is critical to reducing the need to put our men and women in uniform in harm's way. >> thank you so much. president trump is going to capitol hill for the first time since congress began investigating his campaign ties to russia. the president and top republicans discussed their
7:09 am
priorities in tonight's speech in a white house meeting yesterday, and democrats do not believe that republican plans to repeal and replace the law are realistic. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. >> reporter: republicans are going to look for concrete details tonight on the way forward on obamacare. they want guidance because they got an earful from constituents saying they should try to speed up repeal before their colleagues could get cold feet. >> status quo is not an option. >> reporter: after meeting at the white house, the republican leaders at the white house and senate said their agenda is exactly the same as the president's. >> we have to step in and prevent obamacare from getting worse and collapsing. >> reporter: but republicans are still split about the cope of the replacement plan and the president's one-time promise that the law will be repealed and replaced simultaneously no
7:10 am
longer seems realistic. >> i believe the odds are high. >> in a prerebuttal to the increased budget. >> to cut the very programs that help middle class americans seems to me to be just totally wrong and out of whack. >> this will be mr. trump's first visit to capitol hill since the russian hacking investigations were broadened to see if the campaign colluded with russian government during the campaign. >> i don't think we should be drawing any conclusion thus far. >> you think intelligence officials may know more than they are telling you right now? >> i don't think that anybody should prejudge at this point
7:11 am
whether there were contacts between the trump campaign and russia, either directly or incorrectly. >> reporter: dozens of democrats boycotted the president's inaugural address, and they will be in their seats tonight and will show their displeasure and show that by bringing guests who have been hurt by gun control, and immigration. >> president trump was asked to grade himself on his first month in office. >> in terms of achievement i think i would give myself an "a," because i have done great things. i and my people, i don't think we have explained it well enough to the american public, and i get an "a" in what i have done, but in terms of messaging, i get a "c." >> how are you going to change that? >> and we are joined now by our
7:12 am
guests, and he says he plans to speak from the heart tonight and what else does he need to do this evening? >> when he says he gives himself a "c" on messaging, he sounds like all the other presidents, and that can be a trap for presidents because it's what leads to those long laundry lists of achievements. that's fine, if you want to spend your time doing that, but he has other things he can use this big moment for. one is making the argument for his budget, for the health care changes that he is bringing in, is to use the moment to frame what is coming, because what is coming will be complicated, as what the president says about the health care, and it's a super complicated thing and everybody wrestling with it knows that and he's coming into it new, and he needs to give the lawmakers cover, some line of attack that they can use when they are facing these town halls
7:13 am
or political pressure, he needs to help them. if he spends times on his own achievements, that's not giving them something they can use in their political debates. >> on those achievements, many of them have been executive actions and orders. the big things that affect every single americans are ones that are legislative that come out of the congress that he's addressing tonight. will he give guidance about exactly what he plans to do on tax reform, infrastructure, the replacement of health care. any indication he will go into any detail? >> you put your fen tkpwinger o we are in the trump administration, and relative to policy, you have to get through the whole legislative process which is hard and complicated. he will give direction, and a good speech will give emotional power to those you talk about,
7:14 am
and specifs tiff see is not the friend of the president. you don't necessarily want him to say he is going to fix this many roads, and you know, this many bridges and so forth, because congress needs a lot of flexibility because he's trying to do a lot, and the budget is, you know, the numbers are pretty brutal in terms of the deficit and debt, so he wants to be emotional and powerful but not too specific. e well, specifically, john, obamacare seems to stand in the way of the legislative agenda at this point and even the president admitted yesterday that nobody knew health care could be so complicated. where does that stand at this point? >> well, it stands -- it's complicated. everybody knew it was complicated who had been working on it, and basically he will have to become the field general that argues for whatever changes they decide to make, and he made big promises that everybody will be covered and the coverage will be better and everybody can pick
7:15 am
their doctors, and it's going to be complicated for a while longer. >> we will see you tonight for live coverage of the the president's address to congress. it starts at 6:00 p.m. pacific time here on cbs. tomorrow we will have a complete wrap-up including a live interview with mike pence from the white house and i will be with him in his ceremonial office for that interview with him, and that's tomorrow on cbs. and then looking at a three-pronged view on the terror raid in yemen. owens was killed until the mission along with more than a dozen civilians and 14 al qaeda operatives, and other americans were wounded and an aircraft was lost. and preparation for the raid was thorough. >> some people call it a success and some people call it a
7:16 am
failure. what would you call it? >> again, the object was to go in and collect intelligence. we accomplished that. from that perspective, it was successful. i would certainly understand how the family would look at this in a different light. >> owens' family is looking for answer, and he refused to meet with trump when his body was returning to the u.s. at least 29 jewish community centers and schools in 17 different states received bomb threats yesterday. and we show the effort to show who is behind all the threats. >> it appears more leads for investigators. cbs learned the fbi is look into whether hacked communication devices are being used to make the calls, which once again
7:17 am
terrorize jewish facilities from coast-to-coast. threatening calls to jewish communities centers from washington, california, arizona, nevada, and capped off the latest wave of intimidation. the office in san francisco received a call, and the threat for a jewish day school outside of ft. lauderdale, florida, was forced to evacuate. parents raced to the school to pick up their kids. >> we were very scared and i got the phone call and came right away. >> the calls on that to be coordinated and some could be from overseas, and they range from machine generated or altered calls. this voice on a recording of a telephone threat made on january 18th appears to be altered. >> i think i told you enough. i must go. >> similar threatening calls
7:18 am
were made across more than a dozen states on monday, rattling students and parents throughout the jewish community. >> this is my third evacuation. you start getting used to it, and you don't want to get used to it, but you start getting used to it. >> the white house responded to concerns over these threats along with the recent vandalism at jewish cemeteries in philadelphia and missouri. >> the president continues to condemn these and other forms of hateful and anti-semitic acts in the strongest terms. >> and the schools received the all-clear from law enforcement and no arrests have been made in connection with these waves of threats. >> thank you so much. an investigation is under way to find out why a tour bus crashed in southern california. one person died and two dozen people were hurt. the bus crashed head on into two cars and 26 people were taken to the hospital. two people were taken to the hospital after severe turbulence forced a plane to make an
7:19 am
emergency landing. the american airlines flight was carrying 154 passengers and crew from san diego to chicago when it diverted to denver last night. passengers said the pilot was concerned the plane had been damaged so he landed the boeing 737. >> felt like he did not have control of the aircraft at several points and he wanted to go and have the aircraft checked out. >> there were times when i considered that i might die up here. >> the flight continued several hours later after workers determined the plane was not damaged. >> i am marvelled how they can get that turbulence and still land, and the passengers saying the pilot did not have control. two people are scheduled to travel further from earth next year than anybody has ever gone before. ahead, a look at how spacex is , good morning from our kpix

he gave a statement to "the new york times" denying commits any harassment at google and said he left on his own. what do you make of uber's decision to let go of him? >> i have to say it's very uncommon for a swift and decisive action to be taken at the same time. they fired him immediately which suggests there's more to the story. still insiders say departure from google is one of the worst kept secrets around. he's a great talent that a lot of people wanted. so it's just unclear why they acted in the way that at the did so decisively, maybe to send a message within the company. >> what can you tell us about tavis callen who is phone for the company. >> so there's a leaked audio of the meeting that they had for

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, february 28th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news, including white house budget director mick mulvaney. a position he once said would make him the most hated man in washington. yikes. why the president's proposed budget cuts are necessary. first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> the plane that crashed here at this home in riverside, california, had five people inside of it. facing record low approval ratings he plans to use his address tonight to refocus his administration. rks will be looking for concrete details from the president tonight on the way
8:01 am
forward on obamacare. >> he needs to give lawmakers cover. if he spends time on his achievements that's not something they can use in their political debate. where many of nasa's apollo missions began. >> i was interested until i saw the pictures. the academy has apologized to everyone involved. meanwhile, folks in hollywood and movie fans around the world are still just trying to make sense of it all. >> the weirdest thing you might have missed was definitely this. look at nicole kidman, applauding in this video. you know that old phrase? ladies and gentlemen, put your wrists together. this is so weird, she actually made brendan frazier the second weirdest clapper in award show histor history. >> you have to admit, that's
8:02 am
kind of funny. >> i never noticed how she clapped until he pointed it out. >> heel clap. >> never noticed it. >> i'm norah o'donnell with gayle king, anthony mason. charlie rose is off and recovering. the white house says the president will highlight the accomplishments of the past month, specifically through his executive action. >> the president also has to measure up to the first addresses of his predecessors. alex wagner is on capitol hill with how others took on that challenge. alex good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. tonight is officially an address to the joint session of congress. it's not technically a state of the union because, of course, presidet trump has been in office only a little over a month. traditionally, the president outlines his priorities and, by virtue of that, congress finds out what its priorities may be in the coming days and months ahead. >> i'm here tonight to ask you to join me in making it our
8:03 am
plan. together, we can embark on this road. >> by custom, an olive branch is extended across the aisle. >> tonight i challenge and invite congress to work with me. >> reporter: but much of the speech will focus on the president's marching orders. >> tonight i present to you a comprehensive plan. >> energy, health care and education. >> the president lays out his agenda, his audience is responsible for translating those words into actual legislation. and that depends largely on the makeup of congress. like presidents clinton, george w. bush and obama, president trump holds a majority in both houses on arrival. >> our confidence level that congress would pass the president's priorities with an fairly high at that point. >> president obama's speech writer when he first addressed congress in 2009. >> republicans expressed interest in at least talking to us, maybe working with us on certain legislative priorities.
8:04 am
>> reporter: though republicans ultimately didn't support the president's agenda. >> look at the mess that he has over there. >> reporter: he says president trump should consider a less hostile approach to democrats. >> in order to really get anything done, he's going to need democrats. and to do that, you have to reach out to the other parties and people who didn't vote for you. >> ocbama care, remember, it isa disaster. >> reporter: his priorities are broadly at odds with those of the democrats, including overturning obamacare, building a border wall and reforming the tax code. tonight both congress and the american people will be looking for specifics. >> in the bush white house we had set out a detailed tax plan. >> reporter: the head speech writer for president george w. bush. he says that white house had been working closely with congress for months before the first address. >> i think policy preparation makes a big difference. >> reporter: where, in your estimation, is donald trump in terms of preparedness and coordination? >> i think he is well behind in
8:05 am
this budget process. he has to make budget policy choices. there's no way around it. you can't have everything. and this speech, i think, is going to have to determine what those choices are. >> reporter: he said that groundwork resulted in the bush tax cuts being passed in just a few months. of course, they were law of the land for nearly nine years. at the same time, he says president trump is clearly someone who enjoys speaking to a crowd and tonight at least half his audience will surely be clapping for him. back to you, anthony. >> alex wagner. thank you, alex. america first budget is still being negotiated. a 10% increase in defense spend ing, equal to $54 billion. at the same time, they're calling for $54 billion in cuts to domestic government programs like the environmental protection agency. the plan also reduces foreign aid, office of management and budget director mick mulvaney said it, quotes, eliminates
8:06 am
programs that simply don't work. >> mick mulvaney was a republican senator from south carolina when the president appointed him. he joins us now. thank you, director, for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> let me ask you this. will a budget that has no entitlement cuts and does not balance the budget ever pass a republican house or senate in. >> keep in mind, in all fairness, it's too early to ask that question. this was never intended to be a full budget. this is what we call in congress a budget blueprint. it's a little early for us to even be talking about it. the reason that the press isn't familiar with it, ordinarily in an administration you wouldn't see the budget until we're much further along in the process. but because of the delay in my confirmations and other confirmations in the senate, we decided to come out with it and say here we are. it is not meant to include entitlement spending tax reform, other big polishes. this is simply part of giving the top line spending numbers
8:07 am
for the year. so, it's a fair question that you ask. it's just not the right time to ask it. >> you said this would be a true america first budget. what exactly does that mean? >> what we did, we went in, talked to the president about his policies. we looked at his speeches, what he believed. we looked what he told people why he was running to office. we took those policies and turned them into numbers. increase in defense, border security, in enforcing the laws already on the books. increasing in school choice and decreases, for example, in money that we send to other countries. all we did was take his policies, turn it into a budget and that's what you've got, you have an america first candidate and an america first budget. >> what about domestic programs, how badly will they be hurt? >> some of them will actually be increased. for example, the president spoke regularly about spending more money on taking care of veterans, more money on immigration enforcement. you see increases there and decreases in other areas. why? at the same time the president
8:08 am
wanted to not impact the deficit negatively. he didn't want to add to next year's deficit, which will already be almost $500 billion. his charge to me was do what i said i would do but don't impact the deficit. to do that, you see reductions in other places. >> director, you said you're about to find out what it's like to be the most hated man in washington. where are those cuts coming from? >> that's battpart of the negotiation over the next two weeks. this is the beginning of the budget process. we sent the top line numbers to all the agencies. this year you're going to get $90, where do you think you're going to make the reductions? omb has ideas and then we'll negotiate over the next two week. >> what are you looking at? director, where are you proposing those cuts come from? >> we look at everything. that's our job. we look at every single programs. we know the agencies as well as the agencies know themselves. that's what the professionals at omb do. we go line by line and say this
8:09 am
one is effective. this one is not. what do you think? can we take reductions over here, spend more over there? that's part of the negotiation process. >> i know you know this as you have served in congress. when you look at the budget as a pie chart more than half of it is what is called manndatory spending and that is known as entitlements. then the discretionary spending, part of that is the defense budget. nondefense discretionary spending is a little bitty small chunk. if you make increases you're going to have to cut it back. hen will we know from the white house about what you're cutting? >> march 16th is the day we've announced we would go to congress and say here is the final budget blueprint. that will have details on the specific programs we propose to reduce. >> mick mulvaney, please come back. thank you so much for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> gayle and i will be in washington with scott pelley, john dickerson and the rest of our political team for president

8:19 am
terms of citizen services. they're just not like a flash in the pan. they've been doing this for a while. that's a good example of a small state. they have a bonanza in revenue but they've done good things with it. >> i'm fascinated, governor, when you talk about bipartisan, it's not a dirdy word in massachusetts. you were at the governor's ball, you were seated next to ivanka trump, so there's a lot of strategy of who sits where. what did you learn talking to her at that dinner? >> we spent most of the time actually talking about opioids and the opioid academic which is not just an issue in massachusetts but around the country. we talked about working on this on a bipartisan basis and the plan we worked through our legislature, they said this would be a good idea to address the problem in our state. >> what is that plan? >> a lot of elements but
8:20 am
education, better training for prescribers. until very recently you could practice medicine, be a dentist, a nurse, a physician's assistant and never take a course in pain management or opioid therapy. in massachusetts anyway, you have to take a course and pass it now to graduate from any of those schools. >> you didn't vote in the presidential election because you said you didn't really care for either one of the candidate. >> i voted down ballot but not at the top. my hope is that one of the things that happens going forward here -- and, by the way, i would argue that a lot of the states are pretty good at this bipartisan stuff. not just massachusetts. i would love to see washington move in that direction as well. >> very quickly, health care is a key reinstates made this list. did you send a message to president trump when you met this week? >> the governors have all talked to both the vice president and the president and secretary price about how important health care is in our states. whether you're democrat or republican, it's a big deal no
