david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're on the western tip of the island. the first person we saw was the mayor and he said go anywhere, and you will find destruction. this is a hotel right along the water where they would have wedding parties. the entire front end has been blown out. looking at the water, there's devastation everywhere along the shore. people are running low on food. they have run out of water. and lines to get gas stretch for more than three miles. desperate, yet incredibly patient. puerto rican's stood in line in the pouring rain waiting to fuel cars and gas cans. after what they have been through the passing shower barely made them flinch. lines for basic resources are a fact of life here. this grocery store has about two weeks' worth of food, and they're running low on water. nine days after maria made landfall, perez stood in line for water for the third day in a row. >> frustration. it's not goi it's not going to get me

anywhere. so we have to stay calm. >> reporter: the hurricane ripped off the roofs of more than 1,500 homes, according to the mayor, carlos mendez, who says his city has been devastated. do you need more help? >> of course i do. i need help. i need fema. >> reporter: entire towns are isolated by fallen trees and roads that are impassable. in san lorenzo, the main bridge has been washed out, forcing families to wade through the river with garbage bags of supplies swung over their shoulders. john raven is a regional administrator for fema, who says damage is slowing relief efforts. >> our response to an incident like this is complex. it's difficult. and it is not nearly as fast as any of us want. >> people are suffering. people are crying. mothers with children are crying. we have to work together. we have to keep hope alive. it's a mistake not to get up again. when you go down, you have to get up. and that's exactly what we're doing.

>> back here, they stopped serving water yesterday at 4:30 because of the curfew, nobody could be on the street. water will again be served today starting at 8:00 a.m. for 60,000 people, they only have four water trucks. and this morning they're only going to have 2,000 meals to serve. >> thanks, david. united states military is leading efforts to help hurricane survivors. thousands of service members, including the puerto rican national guard, are deployed to help people on the island. the military is going through damaged streets and communities bringing food, water and medical supplies to those in need. we're in san juan with an inside look at the troops mission. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the uss is just a few miles off shore here and we embedded with the sailors and marines from that ship. their mission, help restore vita infrastructure and get this island back up and running. the first marines and sailors on

the ground in puerto rico came from the ""uss kearsarge."" these marines have set up a high-tech operation center on the island. >> we have been able to find the critical infrastructure, find the nodes where we can save the most lives if necessary. >> reporter: the lieutenant takes his findings and relays them to fema. >> you're doing a diagnostics test on the hospitals. >> we are. and then emergency response if necessary to save lives. >> reporter: many residents on the island don't have running water. so marines are using a filtration system to convert saltwater to clean drinkable water. it produces 150 gallons per hour. the marines have also spent the last four days clearing trees and power lines from a road that leads to communication towers that need to be fixed. lieutenant colonel maine says the loss of phone service on the island has made the recovery

process even harder. >> the loss of that infrastructure was even more devastating than you can imagine. nobody can get that life-saving aid. that's where we come in. that's our expertise. >> reporter: fema says only 25% of the telecommunications systems on the island are back up and running. cell phone providers are here working on their towers. but more than a week after the hurricane, there are still no reliable way to communicate on the island. gayle? >> oh mmar, thank you. a navy hospital ship will bring help to puerto rico. they will deliver urgently needed personal supplies, including units of blood. it will assist where medical facilities are crippled. chip reid is in norfolk where the ship is ready for its 1,420 mile journey to puerto rico. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as you can see, that is one big floating hospital behind me, but it has an even bigger mission, to bring relief to thousands of

puerto ricans who are desperate for medical care. when the ship leaves port later today, it will have on board 850 service members, 70 civil service mariners, travel with 5,000 units of blood, four x-ray machines, a dental suite, pharmacy and physical therapy center. the comfort was on the gulf coast after hurricanes katrina and rita in 2005 and in haiti in 2010. and it was in new york city after 9/11. now, the comfort is always ready to deploy on five days' notice. but in this case, it didn't get the order until tuesday. that was six days after maria hit puerto rico. now, some are wondering why that order didn't come sooner. but we're told one reason is that maria created 35-foot dangerous waves just off the coast. >> chip, thank you. house majority steve scalise is back at work on capitol hill.

scalise received a rousing ovation on the house floor yesterday, three months after he was shot at baseball practice. we sat down with scalise just minutes before, and our cameras captured an emotional reunion that literally brought the speaker of the house to his knees. >> oh, look who is here! >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my gosh. >> mr. speaker! you're back! so good to see you. man, oh, man. a long time. >> oh, my gosh. wow. >> this is crazy. i'm sorry -- >> saw you in the hospital those first few days. >> hey, how are you? nice to see you. >> thanks for helping us. i know you worked with my staff a lot.

and it's good. i remember that. >> you've got it. i've seen it work. >> it -- i don't have words for it. i can't describe it. i've never felt this kind of emotion before. your presence is going to bring so much healing to people here. everywhere i go in america,

first question, how is steve scalise. how is the scalise family. please tell them we're praying for them. please tell jennifer we're praying for them. everywhere we all go, everyone has been sending prayers, and it's working. >> they're being answered. i feel t. i mean, we have felt these prayers. all around the country, people that we don't even know. and -- wow. the power of prayer is real. >> you got your majority whip back. >> yeah. >> oh, my gosh. >> you know, it was -- one of those moments, you know, the humanity involved there, and the friendship involved there. i mean, it's odd to see a grown man cry. i've never seen the speaker of the house cry, although john boehner, as he pointed out, used to cry frequently. but -- >> i like to see that kind of humanity in that moment. did you all -- did you know he was coming? i know you had an interview scheduled with mr. scalise. >> right. so we were waiting to go on the floor. they said the speaker of the house was going to try and stop by and see him before he went down to open up. so we had an inkling --

>> that he might come by. >> that he might come. we also talked to scalise after he was on the house floor again for another interview. and the house majority whip said had his capitol police not been there that day on that baseball field, he thinks a dozen members of congress could be dead. and i think that's part of the emotion, too. because every member of congress realized this could have been really bad, and it was an attack on the institution. >> and i suspect and you know how close he may have come to death. >> yes. and that's part of our story on "60 minutes" on sunday that's extended for the first time. we have done all of the original reporting about what happened that day on june 14th, his recovery and how close he came to death. >> but that's what made it so touching to me and everybody who watched that piece, to see the speaker walk in. it was so spontaneous, the way he dropped to his knees, immediately, and the way that he grabbed congressman scalise. i'll never forget seeing that. and the wife's reaction, and he said, oh, yeah, hi, norah. >> and that's when i felt a

little uncomfortable. >> it was beautiful to see. >> thank you, guys. and just a reminder, you can watch the interview of steve scalise sunday night on "60 minutes" here on cbs. >> well done. >> very well done. very well done indeed. the health and human services secretary, tom price, this morning appears to be fighting for his job right now. he's under fire for his expensive taxpayer-funded travel abroad government and private charter jets. the trips by interior secretary ryan zinke, epa administrator, scott pruitt and steve mnuchin have also drawn some criticism. major garrett is at the white house with this growing political problem for the trump administration. major, good morning. >> good morning. in his inaugural address, president trump described washington as a place where government officials enjoyed benefits unavailable to average americans. and often coming at their expense. vowing those days were over. now questions about that impact conduct are being raised about the president's own cabinet, chiefly health and human services secretary, tom price.

. >> all of the trips, as i mentioned, had been approved. >> reporter: secretary price suggested it's president trump's agenda that forced him to take ten trips on private charters. >> we have a very ambitious agenda. and we were trying our dog gonest to be able to accomplish the mission. >> reporter: price announced thursday that he would write a pesonal check to the u.s. treasury for nearly 52,000 taxpayer dollars it cost for his seat. and that taxpayers won't pay a dime for my seat on those planes. but according to politico, his actual bill to taxpayers may be more than $1 million after it was revealed he used military aircraft for trips overseas. the president has made it clear, he is not pleased. >> i am not happy. >> reporter: on thursday, white house press secretary, sarah huckabee sanders, was asked if price's job was safe. >> we're going to conduct a full review, and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: the white house is

conducting a cabinet-wide review of private air travel. the latest member under fire is ryan zinke. according to the "washington post," he spent more than $12,000 on a private charter from las vegas to his hometown in montana while epa administrator, scott pruitt has spent nearly $60,000 on noncommercial flights. treasury secretary steve mnuchin also frequently used expensive government and military planes. meanwhile, the white house counsel's office has launched a separate internal review of the use of private e-mail accounts by top white house officials past and present. those under scrutiny, jared kushner, ivanka trump, gary cohn, still in the white house, and steve bannon and reince priebus, who recently left the building. >> thanks. yosemite national park is open after a man was seriously hurt yesterday when large chunks of rock fell off the face of el

captain. a similar rock slide on wednesday killed a tourist. we're near el captain. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's climbing season here in yosemite, and this is el captain. it's one of the most popular peaks around here. and if you take a look, you can see that big white scar in the granite. that's what's left after two days of massive rock slides. >> looks like smoke. that, again, is dust. >> reporter: hundreds of tons of granite plummeted thousands of feet down the face of el captain thursday. video captured from inside yosemite national park shows the massive dust plume bill owing in the air. >> all of a sudden we heard -- it sounded like thunder. >> reporter: rachel evans' husband jim was injured after some of the falling rock crashed through the sunroof of their suv. >> it shattered. and the dust just poured in. >> glass went flying from the sunroof. >> so we were trying to outrun.

it was like, go, let's go! and at the same time, my husband reached up, and he was like, oh, my head, my head! because it was bleeding profusely and hurting. >> reporter: he was flown by helicopter to a nearby hospital and is expected to be okay. the rock fall slid off the southeastern face of el captain, a popular spot for climbers down into the valley below. >> the rock slide went all the way down to the road. >> reporter: this is what it looked like on top of el captain more than 7,500 feet above the slide. >> absolutely unbelievable. >> reporter: only a day earlier, a rock fall in the same area killed a british tourist, and critically injured his wife. >> it was in the same place. and so it's possible that the rocks were destabilized from the event that happened yesterday. >> reporter: now geologists think that break could have been caused by the heating and cooling of the granite. when it cools down, it becomes much more brittle. that's when it can crack. the last person to be killed by a falling rock here in yosemite

was back in 2013. >> all right. thank you very much, carter. two industrial plants are accused of deliberately sending floodwaters into texas neighborhoods after harvey. ahead, how displaced homeowners say water just suddenly started rising again, even after the initial threat from the storm had passed. but first, it is this national weather report sponsored by blue buffalo. you love your pets like family. so feed them like family, with blue. buffalo. you love your pets like family,

to save their plant but those actions have consequences. and they need to be held responsible for those actions. >> reporter: the refinery told us that the plant did get some flooding that damaged some equipment. both the harrquists and the fosters had flood insurance, but neither family has yet to hear a response to their claim. >> very, very much thank you, mark. important reminder, people still need help even though the rains have stopped. pain still continues there. actress julia louie dreyfus tells fans she has breast cancer. she took a moment to weigh in on the health care debate. and former presidents -- look at this picture. bill clinton, george w. bush and barack obama made history at the presidents -- >> had those boys smiling. >> i know, that's a great picture. the president's cup golf

[ cheering and applause ]. >> this morning's eye opener at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual insurance.

>> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell . president trump is praising the relief effort in puerto rico, but the damage is massive and many victims are still waiting for food, water and fuel. the president tweeted this morning, the fact is that puerto rico has been destroyed by two hurricanes. big decisions have to be made as to the cost of its rebuilding. >> millions of meals and bottles of water are on the way. house speaker paul ryan says the agency will get another $6.7 billion by the end of the week to deal with this disaster. david begnaud made his way to the western end of the island to the hard-hit town of august what deya'. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. when we first rolled into aguadilla, the mayor was first i saw him. i said, mayor, what did maria do to your town? he paused and said, what didn't it do. we are at a hotel overlooking the water. you see the damage it did upstairs. downstairs, it wiped away a pier

and the damage continues along the coast. right now in aguadilla people are lining up because at 8:00 a.m. they started serving water again. they can't serve it overnight because of the curfew. people are not supposed to be out on the streets. people line up for water holding a gallon in each hand just to keep themselves hydrated for the day. there are lines to get fuel that extend in one case we saw for at least two miles. we sawmill tak military convoy into town but the mayor says he needs more, from the military, from fema and the government. the mayor is in the process of handing out 2,000 meals. the problem is, there are 60,000 people in his town. he needs a lot more. >> great reporting on those numbers there. david, thank you so much, in puerto rico 44 of the islands 69 hospitals are open and some critically ill patients need the leave. a premature baby was put on a plane to louisiana yesterday. he needs surgery to correct an

[ applause ] >> scalise received a roaring ovation yesterday when he walked on to the house floor. it was his first time back at work since he was shot and severely wounded at a congressional baseball practice in june. we were with congressman scalise minutes before his appearance on

the house floor and he had a tearful reunion. >> look who is here! >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my gosh. >> mr. speaker, back! >> it is so good to see you. man, oh, man, it's been a long time. >> oh, my. >> oh, geez. wow. >> this is just great. >> he's got a full -- >> thank you. >> jennifer. >> a lot of tears in the house. >> literally brought the speaker to his knees, to hug him. it was really emotional. >> and it looked like mrs. scalise was comforting him, norah. >> it is okay, he will be all right, paul ryan. it was so beautiful to see the connection between the two. >> lots more to come in terms of the reporting we have been doing for months on this story, and you can see it on "60 minutes" on sunday, the interview with house majority whip steve scalise here on cbs. speaker ryan says the return of representative scalise to congress is a unifying force.

john dickerson spoke with ryan yesterday after a town hall in pennsylvania. they discussed how the experience in the house chamber affected many members of congress. >> today steve scalise came back to the house. what was that like? >> i haven't cried in a while and i cried -- i mean i -- it was -- it was so -- it was a beautiful moment for us. [ cheering and applause ]. >> we've had so much bitterness in this country, political acrimony. we went through a tough election. we are going through all of these moments and steve scalise was shot on a ball diamond getting -- practicing for a charity game, and in congress it made us look at each other as fellow human beings who are passionate about causes but who respect one another. to see steve go from literally nearly dying a few times to relearning how to walk, to multiple surgeries, to coming on

the house floor today, it was a beautiful thing. it was so wonderful. it gave us all a great feeling because so many of us had been praying for steve and his family, but it also is unifying. >> their conversation touched on many pressing issues including tax reform. john dickerson is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> is it possible somehow when there's so much divide in congress that this outpouring of good faith and affection could slip into politics? >> well, you would hope so. it certainly did yesterday, in part because of all these members whether on the right or left know what it is like to have this anger directed at them. they not only felt for a friend, felt the joy of his return and touched on the best feelings of sort of working together, but they also know that this is something that they all face in one way or another. >> and they just had an election in alabama, put republicans against republicans. >> right. you know, a lot of the hot rhetoric you get, this moment

showed us the worst end of that. so they all kind of think, well, we've got to settle back. the problem, of course, is politics takes over again and people forget these moments unfortunately. >> you were with paul ryan at a pipe fitting manufacturing plant in pennsylvania. how is he selling this tax plan to workers? >> the way he's trying to sell it is basically saying it is a middle class tax cut. he made his pitch and one of the first questions from the workers was why is this money go to the ceos and is it going to the blue collar people? his argument is that you lower the tax rates for corporations, they will put the money back into wages and investments. now, that's a thing that there will be a lot of debate about because some people say it won't necessarily go back to the worker but that's the way he is making his pitch. >> what are the facts? is it a middle class tax cut? >> depends on how you do the math, and you can't do that because the numbers are not there. it is a framework, and part of the reason they're pitching it as a framework because it is easier to sell a framework than

when you get to the very numbers. what paul ryan said the objective here, and it will fail if it is not when the math is done seen as a middle class tax cut. the challenge for this, of course, is that the middle class will get some relief, but some people at the other end will get big relief, people who get money or have big investments in tax -- in the stock market, and those numbers. that disparity will be what the political conversation is about. >> and it adds to the debt, which is a big republican issue in the past. >> well, it does. the argument will be, well, that growth that will be created by the tax cuts will fix the debt problem. of course, it will be a violent debate about that because that essentially assumes things will turn out well and move faster than growth has been going. a lot of economists say that's not possible in the economy at the moment. or even if growth gets going, the fed will say, wait a minute, don't grow so fast, raise rates, and it will keep this great revenue from coming in. >> and where are the democrats in all of this? >> the democrats are saying no

because they think -- you know, the central question here is whether the system is tilted to those who already have gotten the good stuff over the last many years, and whether because they have lobbyists and accountants they can keep the system tilted in their advantage, and democrats will say that's what the bill does. the challenge is for republicans to argue, no, we're trying to rebalance, to help the people that haven't been helped in last 20 years. right now democrats are not part of the conversation. we will see if the republicans and the president let them. >> thank you, john. great to see you. >> thanks, charlie. >> you can see john's interview with house speaker paul ryan sunday only on "face the nation." plus senate minority leader schumer and contributor bob schieffer sunday on cbs. >> another big show for john dickerson. thank you for joining this morning. actress julia louis-dreyfuss is getting support from fellow star after she announced she has breast cancer. ahead, what encouraging words the vice president shared with the emmy winner who played a veep on tp.

connecticut. breyer said cameras could change the behavior of lawyers and the justices during oral arguments. >> you all think that you're immune from change iryour behavior because the press is always there after all, they're always in the room. they hear the oral argument, they're right in front of us, and i think i say what i think. unfortunately, i sometimes say things a little idioting but i will get over it. and -- but wait until you see yourself on television the first time with a picture and they're saying something, you're saying those words, and it is quite clear to you at the time you meant the opposite. but what they're doing is they're putting it in such a way that in context it looks as if you're doing something really unfortunate. wait until you see that. once you see it, you will watch what you say much more carefully, and i don't want to watch what i say. i want to say what i think there and find out. >> but breyer said he does think cameras will eventually be allowed inside the court.

i'm familiar with this argument, but i have to tell you it really got me thinking in a different way last night. he wants to judge a case by what he sees -- excuse me, by what he reads, not what he sees. he wants people to see the court's decisions that way, too. think about that. it might allow for a more objective, deliberate reading of the law. >> and i think cameras change the tone, change your behavior if you're not used to being on tv all the time. >> but the other side of the argument is at some point you get used to it and it doesn't have that effect, just like following people around, at some point they forget the camera is there. >> they forget. >> turning to this, rebuilding costs after hurricanes in the united states and caribbean could reach hundreds of billions of dollars. harvey drenched coastal texas on august 25, hurricane irma made landfall on september 10th and ten days later hurricane maria

slammed into puerto rico. >> travel editor peter greenberg is here with what travelers need to know. good morning. >> good morning. >> what should we know? >> well, in the long-term it will be worse than you think because travel and tourism is the largest industry in the world, more or less it is 11% of global gdp. so that's an average. but in these territories and districts and island nations, it is much higher than that. u.s. travel association ran the numbers. in puerto rico alone a 50% drop in tourism will result in more than $5 billion less in travelers spend, more important 36,000 jobs lost. that's a 50% drop. it is going10 to that means over a two-year period that's revenue they will never get back. >> what options do people have? sorry about your voice, it doesn't hurt you though? >> it doesn't. >> you just lost it. so a lot of people have thanksgiving plans, are planning to go to one of these areas. what are the options? do you get your money back?

can you go someplace else in the area and not get gouged? >> well, the answer to the first question is you can more or less get your money back if you paid with a credit card because you did not receive the good or service you contracted for. but if you bought travel insurance, you had to buy it before the storm was actually named. that's a very difficult determination, but you have to do that. the real problem for your second question is lost supply and demand. as people realize now they're not going to those destinations like st. martin, st. thomas, st. john, puerto rico, they will look to places outside the hurricane belt, jamaica, barbados, and the numbers are going to change. airlines capped their fees to affected areas. they have not capped fees to those areas not affect, which means airfares are going up, hotel fares are going up, and let's factor in this. jet fuel prices are up 50% since june. so i'm not going to be surprised if they add a fuel surcharge to
