this is cbs news special report. i'm charlie rose in new york. the republican house leader who nearly died in a shooting spree three months ago has just returned to capitol hill. you can see the response there. the majority w.h.i.p. steve scalise surprised his colleagues. entering the house chamber for the first time since the shooting at a suburban baseball field in washington. you can see how his colleagues feel about a man who had a really very serious injury from that gunshot wound. the emotion that must be there for someone, a fallen colleague who now returns -- returns in the midst of a remarkable recovery. a lot of surgery, has been through a lot. and the warmth of them, the applause suggesting the
7:57 am
identification with his recovery. he's there with colleagues and my colleague norah o'donnell is in washington where she just spoke with steve scalise and his wife. norah, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, he's about to deliver an address to his colleagues. i just spoke to him, he woke up this morning and he said it felt like christmas. i was in the room when speaker ryan saw him for the first time and speaker ryan broke down crying, saying this is the best gift we could ever get. congressman -- you can see that picture there. he got down on his knees to embrace congressman scalise. scalise said you feel the warmth and love from both democratic and republican colleagues. he asked his colleagues, cedric richmond, who represents new orleans, to sit next to him.
7:58 am
a standing ovation. i think there's the hope that this moment leads to something, this moment of unity. >> how is his health? >> reporter: his health is good. he told me it's so important for him to be able to walk on his own, he's using crutches. he's doing so much better. let's listen in now. the return to the chamber of our dear friend and colleague from louisiana, mr. steve scalise. [ cheers and applause ]
7:59 am
our prayers have been answered. his bravery and his family's strength have been such an inspiration to this house and to the people it serves. america is grateful for this moment. the chair now proudly asks for what purpose does the gentleman from louisiana seek recognition. to speak out of order, mr. speaker. [ applause ] the gentleman man is recognized for as much time as he may need. >> wow, thank you, mr. speaker.
8:00 am
you have no idea how great this feels to be great back here at work in people's house. as you can imagine, these last 3 1/2 months have been pretty challenging times for me and my family. but, if you look at the outpouring of love, of jennif and i have been overwhelmed with the outpouring. it's given us the strength to get through all of this and get to this point today. it starts with god. [ applause ] when i was laying out on that ball field, the first thing i did once i was down and couldn't move anymore, i started to pray. and tell you, it gave me an
8:01 am
unbelievable sense of calm. knowing at that point it's in god's hands. i prayed for specific things, and i'll tell you, pretty much every one of those prayers was answered. they were some pretty challenging prayers i was putting in god's hands, but he really did deliver for me and my family and it just gives you that renewed faith and understanding that the power of prayer is something you cannot under estimate. [ applause ] so i'm a living example that miracles really do happen. the first place i want to go to thank true angels along the way starts with the united states
8:02 am
capital police. [ applause ] [ applause ] when i was elected majority whip, you know, the elected leadership has a security detail, if anybody ever wondered why we're assigned security detail, i surely found out that day. let me tell you, i want to specifically mention crystal griner and david vaily. [ applause ]
8:03 am
[ cheers and applause ] crystal and david were assigned to my security detail that morning, and day in and day out they're part of our family. jennifer and i truly treat them as part of family. they're with us everywhere we go. on that day was no different. on june 14th, they came 6:30 in the morning. we arrived at the baseball field just to play and practice for a game of charity baseball, and nobody would have suspected what ensued. yet as soon as those shots were fired, i'll tell you, when i was laying out on the ground, one of the things i prayed for was that david and crystal would be successful in carrying out their
8:04 am
duties. and both david and crystal are incredibly well trained and incredibly professional. when i was laying there, not long after the first couple of shots were fired, i could hear a different caliber of weapon. that told me they had immediately engaged the shooter. let me tell you, if they didn't act so quickly, and even after being shot both themselves continued to engage the shooter and ultimately got him down, which not only saved my life, but saved the life of a lot of other people that are here in this chamber today. crystal couldn't be with us today, but david bailey is with us. david, you're my hero. you saved my life. thank you so much! [ applause ]
8:05 am
. tiger blood. i also thank -- owe thanks to a lot of people on the field with me. right after the shooter was down, a lot of my colleagues came and ran to come check on me, and one i want to mention in particular is one of those things that jennifer and i call the little miracles that happened. that day and throughout the next few months of our recovery. i happened to have brad winstrom on the field that day. he was one of the first to come to my side. as you know, brad is not only a doctor, but a decorated army ranger who served in combat. one of his roles and missions to take care of people that were wounded before they went on the helicopter to get prepared. who would have thought that god would have put brad on the field with me. because the tourniquet he
8:06 am
applied, many will tell you, saved my life, so i could make it to the hospital in time with the blood loss. brad, where are you at? [ applause ] which i arrived at med star hospital. i was a little bit out of it at that point. luckily i ended up in the trusted hands of dr. jack and his great team at medstar. they gave me a second chance at life, and through many, many surgeries where my life was truly in the balance a few of
8:07 am
those, they did a wonderful job at making sure that i was well taken care of. ultimately made it through that point. so i could get to dr. golden and his team who actually put me back together again. which was quite a task. to the point where i'm actually able to relearn how to walk again. so doctors, thank you for being here. thanks to your team. [ applause ] above all else, i want to thank my lovely wife jennifer. [ applause ]
8:08 am
those who know her, know how strong jennifer is. she's an incredibly warm and loving wife. she's an incredible mother to our children. somehow through the late nights and the surgeries and all the other things, she managed to hold our family together. to make sure that harrison and madison were cared for, as well. still, to this day, she's not only by my side but also serving as a great mother. i'm lucky to have you. thank you for being here. love you, sweet heart. [ applause ] and while it's been a challenging time for my family, the thing that really overwhelmed us from the start was the outpouring of love and
8:09 am
warmth and prayers from southeast louisiana, the district that i represent. we saw blood drives at saint catherine, we saw prayer groups at first united methodist chu h church. we also saw prayer group and well wishes being given from people we never met before throughout your districts. you shared it with me. it was one of those things that was hard for us to completely comprehend that you had people from all walks of life that had never met me before and yet they saw what happened and they just wanted to offer prayers. let me tell you to each and every one of you and, please, convey it to your constituents and to my constituents back home. that warmth and love gave us just incredible strength that you can't imagine during some difficult times. so that is one more example of the power of prayer.
8:10 am
something else i saw firsthand wasn't a surprise to me, but it was the outpouring of love from you, my colleagues. both republican and democrat. i know right after the shooting, we were practicing on the republican side and the democrats were too. my colleague and friend and sometimes arch rival in baseball from back home in new orleans, unfortunately, the star of the game too many times cedric richmond figured out which hospital i was sent to and probably got there in his baseball uniform to check on me. so many others of you, again, both republicans and democrat reached out in ways that i can't express the gratitude and how much it means to me, jennifer, and our whole family. it really does show the warm side of congress that very few people get to see. and so i want to thank each and every one of you for that. you don't know how much it meant to me. when i come back into this
8:11 am
chamber today and seeing the faces of all of you, it just means more to me than you can imagine. thanks for all of that love and support. [ applause ] and a lot of people ask, did this event change you? and i think those who know me know i'm an optimistic person. you know, i'm just a fun-loving person. i'm from south louisiana, and believe you work hard and play hard. is an event going like this going to change that? the first thing i can tell you, yes, it changed me but not in the ways you might think. it's only strengthened my faith in god, and it's really crystallized what shows up as the goodness in people. i got to see that goodness in people. while some people might focus on a tragic event and an evil act.
8:12 am
to me, all i remember, are the thousands of acts of kindness and love and warmth that came out of this. and kept me going through all of it. again, just reemphasize just how wonderful most people are and how much compassion there is out there. and, finally, i want to talk about something that, i guess, hit me and probably struck me more than anything that i was not expecting. that was the outpouring of love and support from world leaders. people i've met and have known. benjamin netanyahu and i had some incredible conversations from the hospital. king abdul of jordan whom so many of us have met reached out. other world leaders also reached out. people i'd never met before, and that touched me in a different way because each and every one of us, we come here and we fight for the things that we believe in. i have passionate believes.
8:13 am
for some reason, some of you don't agree with all of those. [ laughter ] but it's so important that we come up here. we are the people's house. this is the place where these ideas are supposed to be debated. and we fight through those issues, but ultimately we come together on whatever the board shows us 218. if you can put the majority together, that's what rules the day. it's so important that as we're having those political battles we don't make them personal. because one of the things i saw -- and i guess this is the thing that really kept coming back to me as i tried to make sense of all of this. and comprehend the outpouring of love that i saw. it kept coming back to those world leaders. why would leaders from around the world i've never met before reach out and say "steve, we hope you can get back to work." what it says is, sure, they cared about my well being, but more than that, they saw this as
8:14 am
an attack on all of this. they saw this as an attack on the constitution of the united states congress and our government. they really count on us to be successful. look, we all know the united states is the leader of the free world. it's something that we've, frankly, had the honor as a country to hold as a distinction for generations. and yet when you look at that title, what it really means is there are people all around the world that want freedom, maybe that have freedom, but they know that the united states being strong is critical to the rest of the world having the opportunity for freedom. [ applause ] that's why i'm so excited to be back. because as we're fighting through the issues of the day,
8:15 am
let's just keep in mind that we rise above the challenges of the day and understand that it's not just us and our constituents and the country, the united states that is counting on us being successful. people all around the world that believe in freedom are counting on us, as well. we'll deliver for them. that's why i'm honored to be back here in the house serving with you. god bless each and every one of you. god bless united states of america. [ applause ] >> there you see the house majority whip, congressman steve scalise standing ovation from both his republican and democratic colleagues. km charlie, we watched this chamber for a state of the union. this was like a state of steve scalise talking about himself. how he's doing but thanking all of the people who essentially are responsible for him being able to return.
8:16 am
walk into this chamber today. the doctors, the capitol police. i've been talking to steve scalise for weeks now. he said if the capitol police had not been there on the ballpark, that eight members of congress could be dead. in the end, he was the only one who was shot by one bullet. it has taken him 106 days to return here to work. and you heard that message of unity. i mean, he really is a very thoughtful individual. i didn't know him that well before i met him, and he's looking at this incident as a series of miracles. he's looking at this as an opportunity to say this was an attack on the institution of all of us. not just him. and there's an opportunity in the future to work together. so it remains to be seen whether there will be some unity. that was the note he struck today. >> it was remarkable, too, he talked about, you know, strengthened his belief in the goodness of people as he thanked all the people that helped him
8:17 am
in the recovery. starting with the d.c. police and his wife and the doctors and his colleagues. all of the people that he saw because of his circumstances. the goodness in those people and how they rallied around him. that gave him strength. you could see the difficulty in conversation with him and being there with him. this is not easy to recover what he went through. and the belief from your friends to do it as well as the will to do it himself. >> his wife, jennifer, told me they have 57 binders and albums full of the warm wishes and notes sent to them. as he mentioned, world leaders and people all around. and some of the restauranteurs from louisiana were sending him food. he lost 50 pounds.
8:18 am
he's been through a grueling, grueling recovery. he's looking at this as an incredible moment. he wants to get back to work. they have a busy agenda here on capitol hill, and so i just -- charlie, to take it in for a moment. think about how many times you've covered -- watching this. have you seen anything the world leader, a pope, a president get this much standing applause greeted in this way. >> it was almost in unitson their heart was beating with his heart as he spoke to them about what he had been through. and the sense he looked forward to defending freedom. he mentioned freedom several times. and he mentioned the people's house several times. and there are people who disagree with him, he looked forward to the engage on behalf of them. >> i think you're absolutely right, charlie. and i met with him when he first arrived on capitol hill. we were, actually, in the speaker's ceremonial office. paul ryan, the speaker of the
8:19 am
house, came in and got down on his knees and cried and said "you don't know what a gift this is. this is the best gift we could ever get to have you back here." paul ryan said he's been wearing an lsu hat and drinking sugary coffee until he came back. of course, you know paul ryan is from wisconsin. it means a lot to wear an lsu. but i'm going sit down again, one more time, with congressman scalise and his wife to talk about what this moment meant. we're going to have more of that tonight on "cbs evening news." we'll have it tomorrow on our show, as well. and parts of it will air as part of the extended investigation we've done on "60 minutes." what happened on june 14th on that ballpark, and how the recovery has gone for the past 106 days. >> and how it brought people together. do i understand he's back at work? rehabilitation will continue but he's back at work. >> reporter: he's back at work. he got a new voting card today.
8:20 am
he's casting his first vote. he told me he has to do physical therapy at least three days a week. because, as you see, he's having a little bit of difficulty walking. there's still some recovery that needs to be done. and he said he wants to be able to run again and he wants to play baseball again. he wants to be back on the baseball team. but he knows that's going to take awhile. >> we'll hear from you and your piece for "60 minutes." how precarious this was and how close ato danger he was and in terms of losing his life and the blood loss. it's a remarkable thing to see today because of what he's been through, and you having a chance to witness it with him and feel the power and strength of the recovery. thank you, nora. >> reporter: thank you, charlie. as you can see nora's full report with representative scalise, his wife, and doctors this sunday night on "60 minutes" on cbs. coverage continues throughout the day on your local news and on this cbs station.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." we have news that could benefit people of puerto rico. president trump has recognize thissed waiving the jones act and it will go into effect immediately. the governor made the request, and the order allows ships flying a foreign flag to bring supplies to ports in puerto rico. the jones act says only u.s. flag vessels can operate between two american ports was slowing down all of the aid shipments. pop star marc anthony and his former wife jennifer lopez are raising money for victims of hurricanes and the recent earthquakes in mexico. their alliance, we are one
8:31 am
voice, includes celebrities like bruni mars, ed sheeran, and lin-manuel miranda. he said, "the president must do something about our people in puerto rico. we are american citizens, too." he told us why he was inspired to act. >> i think i voiced not only my frustration but the frustration of millions of citizens that saw no action. as soon as jennifer and i knew that puerto rico was going to be hit directly, we got in contact with each other and said we have to do something. the situation in puerto rico is like nothing we've ever seen in our lifetime. that's the god's honest truth. >> so far together they've raised more than $113,000. this morning it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines. bloomberg says the trump will set the annual refugee limit to 45,000. that's the lowest in decades. in the year starting october 1st, the united states will accept no more than
8:32 am
45,000 refugees. this total is down from 110,000 for the current this fiscal year. the "washington post" reports inequality persists. the richest americans have benefited even more because they began with such a significant advantage. a new report by the federal reserve found overall family wealth and incomes increased over the past three years. the median net worth for white households was $171,000 last year. that was nearly ten times larger than for black households. the share of americans' income held by the top 1% of households reached 24% and that is a record high. "the new york times" says champion skier lindsey vonn may get her chance to race against men next year after all. her previous requests were denied by international ski racing officials. yesterday the sports governing bodies said it will consider
8:33 am
allowing her to compete in men's downhill race when it meets next year in zurich. i'd like to see that. thursday night football kicks off its full season tonight on cbs. the green bay packers will host the chicago bears. this is one of the biggest rivalries in the nfl. both are coming off overtime wins on sunday. nfl an and cbs analyst bill cowher is in green bay. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. it's the longest running rivalry. the first game was played in 1920. the seres is tied, 94-94. it should be broke out here tonight on the frozen tundra. it's not frozen but it's cold. >> obviously it comes down to aaron rodgers. he's playing with a makeshift offensive line. his top three tackles will be out tonight, but it is aaron rodgers and his ability to improvise and extend plays when you look at the chicago
8:34 am
bears, an impressive win last week against the steelers. a dynamic one-two punch in the running game. jordan howard, tyreek cohen, these two guys can run the football. it's going to be a very, very interesting game. again, i think it's going to be very exciting. i think the chicago bears if they keep it close may have a chance. >> are you making any predictions? >> well, listen, gayle. i can't make a prediction yet. watch the pregame show tonight. i'll tell you who's going to win. >> okay. that's a tease. >> can we talk about the season so far? the kansas city chiefs are looking very, very strong and the atlanta falcons and certainly the new england patriots after having lost one. >> i think what we saw last week, guys, was a very explosive offensive weekend for football. when you look at the national football league, only two teams, kansas city chiefs and atlanta falcons, are both undefeated. the first time in week four that two teams are undefeated. there's a lot of parity, a lot of story lines about to unfold
8:35 am
and it's very balanced throughout the league. >> any emerging star who looks like they're going to have one helluva season? >> i would say kareem hunt when you look at the kansas city chiefs, charlie. this guy is very special. he's able to catch the ball out of the backfield. when you look at him with him and tyreek hill, they're the fastest team in the nfl league. >> he's a rookie, didn't you say? >> he is a rookie. yes, he is. and like i said, you look at cohen, this kid tonight. another one of those dynamic, very fast. he can catch the ball out of the backfield, he's a turner, you couple him with jordan howard. the great 1-2 running attack which you're going to see, a contrast to the other side where you may see aaron rodgers with nobody in the backfield spreading it out and throwing it all over the place. two contrasting styles. we'll see which ones. >> back to the packers and bears game tonight, can we expect to continue seeing players and coaches and owners taking a knee during the "national anthem"? >> well, aaron rodgers has asked the fans to interlock amongst themselves in the stands right here.
8:36 am
i think as we talk about a lot of things that took place last week, there's been a lot of divisiveness in terms of antagonistic words coming from the president. i think what you saw was a lot of unified teams and cities. but i think that people want to see football. they want to have balance back in their lives. the three or four hours that they have, a chance to bring normality to them and get away from the social injustice, health care, national security. football is america's pastime. we want to get back to watching this great game. aaron rodgers is asking fans to interlock. he's looking for big bodies too. his three offensive tackles are out. he's going to need protection tonight with the offensive line, but it's going to be a good game. >> let's talk about your old team the steelers. there was some concentration on him because of one player who actually in a sense explained himself. >> yeah. alejandro villanueva did some tours in afghanistan.
8:37 am
