that year from drug overdoses, most from opioids. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. here's what the president tweeted a short time ago. marino has informed me that he is withdrawing his name in consideration as drug czar. tom is a fine man and a great congressman. but an increasing number of democrats had been pushing this president to choose someone else to represent the nation's fight against drugs. >> tom marino going to be the drug czar. he's going to do a great job. >> reporter: as recently as last week president trump was touting his pick to lead the nation's drug control effort. but in the wake of the "60 minutes"/"the washington post" investigation, he acknowledged he was having second thoughts. >> we're going to look into the report. we're going to trach it seriously. >> on monday west virginia democrat joe manchin sent a letter to president trump urging him to pull marino's nomination. >> there's nobody in my state going to believe that he is going to be sincere or be effective. >> it's disturbing.

bill, tennessee congresswoman marsha blackburn says if it has had unintended consequences they should make changes right away so there is now mounting bipartisan agreement that something is going to have to happen in the wake of this "60 minutes"/"the washington post" investigation. >> thank you very much. we wanted to find out just how much the pharmaceutical industry spends lobbying members of congress. a center for responsive politics spent close to $250 million last year. that surges to nearly $2.5 billion over the past decade. the industry consistently ranks at the top when it comes to money spent on lobbying gun rights last year totaled $10.5 million, that is just about 4% of what the pharmaceutical industry spent. >> we're following more breaking news, a dramatic turning point in the fight against isis. u.s.-backed forces in syria are celebrating the defeat of isis in its former stronghold of raqqa.

multiple reports that the city has fallen and fighters as you see are dancing and chanting in the streets. >> losing raqqah is a major blow for isis, the terror group once called the city its capital. holly williams is inside raqqah with the military gains and the challenges ahead. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning from the very heart of raqqah. this place used to be an ordinary traffic circle but then isis turned into a place where they carried out public executions. they posted the evidence of those horrific killings on the internet. now, the circle was retaken by these u.s.-backed syrian forces last night and yesterday we witnessed them on the streets of raqqah celebrating. they were in a victorious mood after a four-month-long battle. it is a bizarre feeling to be here because during the three plus years that isis was in control of raqqah, if i had somehow made it into isis territory, i would almost certainly have been taken captive and very likely killed.

now, there are thought to be isis fighters still lurking and building -- in buildings and tums here in raqqah and it could take months until the city is finally cleared of explosives that were laid by isis. then they will somehow have to find a way to rebuild this shattered city where there is hardly a building that is unscathed. some buildings like this one over here have been left to pulver advise by fighting. others like the one behind me have been flattened by u.s. air strikes. nearly all of the residents from raqqah perhaps all of them have now left the city and many are in refugee camps. it is a terrible irony that in order to retake raqqah from isis they've had to destroy it. gayle. >> that is ironic, yet still cause for celebration there. thank you very much, holly williams reporting from syria. president trump wants to show the world that he can work with senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. the two men met reporters in the rose garden yesterday after a white house meeting. the president said he and mcconnell are, quote, closer

>> reporter: for the president he is a threat he can deploy before his cab knelt. >> i know how he feels. depends who you're talking about. there are some republican, frankly, that should be ashamed of themselves. >> reporter: then ignore less than two hours later. >> the republican party is very, very unified. >> reporter: mcconnell scorned by the president in august -- >> i'm very disappointed in mitch. >> reporter: now a potential man of the hour. >> we have's been friends for a long time. >> reporter: and with mcconnell with no other chase playoice pl long. the commander in chief was also asked why he withheld public comment on four u.s. soldiers skilled in ang ambush nearly two weeks ago in niger. the president said letters will soon be sent to the families. he then said this about his predecessors. >> if you look at president obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls, a lot of them didn't make calls. >> reporter: officials for president obama, george w. bush and clinton told cbs all three made calls to family of the fallen. mr. obama's attorney general

tweeted, stop the damn lying. you're the president. white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders said president trump, quote, wasn't criticizing pretty sesers but stating a fact. she said previous presidents have used calls, visits and letters to console grieving military families. the point the president was making, she said was that he hadn't called every single family that was grieving. >> all right, major, thank you very much. senator john mccabe is warning against american isolationism. the arizona republican made the remarks during his acceptance speech for the liberty award that honors a lifetime of sacrifice. joe biden presented the award in philadelphia. >> to fear the world we have organized and led the three quarters of a century to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain the last best hope of earth for the sake of some

half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems.

good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, october 17th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is breaking news president trump's choice to -- withdraws his nomination after 60 minutes investigation into the opioid crisis. and former fonx news anchor gretchen karlsson is here. breaking news from washington. congressman tom mariano has withdrawn his nomination. democrats have been pushing this president to choose someone else to represent the nation's fight against drugs. it is a terrible irony that in order to retake it from isis

they had to destroy it. president trump and mitch mcconnell needed a photo open and needed it badly. harvey's brother bob weinstein insisting they weren't going to -- search and recovery crews are going through burned out homes. longing for victims and hazardous material that might make it dangerous for people to return home. oh. will he score? he's going to score. take it to the house. the final score the titans 26. that's how you put a team away.

>> i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and jeff joins us at the table. good to have you here. he's here because charlie is off today. there's breaking news president trump announced this morning his choice for federal drug czar pulled out. he tweeted representative tom moreno told me he's withdrawing his name. tom is a fine man and a great congressman. the pennsylvania republican was receiving criticism after investigation by 60 minutes and the "washington post" ma romo sponsored a law that some say weakened federal enforcement power over opioid power distributors. nancy is reporting on capitol hill this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. lawmakers are saying that this build didn't get enough scrutiny the first time around. they're wondering why the dea dropped the initial objections. mariano had a lot of cosponsors. democrats and republicans for the law. whistle blowers say it makes it more difficult for the gf to block suspicious shipments of

opioids. missouri senator claire mccaskill it's clear some of the law's authors are trying to too hard to help the drug industry. others may simply not have understood the implications. and she's introducing the bill to overturn the law. already west virginia senator joe manchin and new hampshire have signed on as cosponsors. according to the cdc, their two states were among the hardest hit by drug overdose deaths in 2015. largely due to the opioid op epidemic. manchin asked mr. trump to drop mariano's nomination for drug czar. but republican orrin hatch who moved the bill through the senate defended it. he said that the problems are being overblown and that, in fact, the dea helped to write some of the language that is in this bill, jeff. >> nancy, thank you very much. president trump faces criticism for saying his predecessors didn't call

families of soldiers killed in action. mr. trump was asked yesterday why he had not spoken about four americans killed nearly two weeks ago. the president said he just written letters to the families and would call them soon. >> if you look at president obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls. a lot of them didn't make calls. president obama, i think, probably, did sometimes and maybe sometimes he didn't. i don't know. that's what i was told. >> spokesman for president president obama, george w. bush, and clinton said they made calls to the families of the fallen. >> and a 2009 photo shows mr. obama saluting a soldier's casket at dover in delaware. his former chief of staff called president trump's statement a [ expletive ] lie and called him, quote, a deranged animal. president brush said he wrote the families of the fallen and

called them and met with hundreds if not thousands. the current white house press secretary said individuals claiming former each family of the fallen aren't mistaken. state election officials across the country are taking part in an unprecedented security effort ahead of next year's midterm elections. some have to fill out federal security clearance applications. that process can take up to 10 hours. it comes after russian hackers scanned and probed data bases in the 2016 election in at least 21 states. election officials tell jeff even with the security clearance they may not be granted access to sensitive information about the 2016 attacks. the department of homeland security said state and local officials have already taken a number of steps to improve the security and the federal government stands ready to help. gretchen karlsson sued her

former fox news anchor gretchen karlsson is credited with starting the conversation about sexual harassment and paving wa paving the way. she sued roger ails. she claims roger fired after she refused for sexual advancements. she reached a $20 million settlement. the company issued her a public apology. now roger denied the claims

before his death in may. karlsson is an advocate for workplace equality. she was named one of time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world for 2017. karlsson has a new book called "be fierce: stop harassment and take your power back". she shares a playbook for women who want to speak out. she worked from cbs from 2000 to 2005. she joins us now. good morning. welcome back. >> it's great to be back. you're in the bright new studio across the street where i used to be. >> yeah. >> let me ask you, we have spoken over the past year. you sued one of the most powerful men in television. what made you come forward? >> well, courage is a building process. it's not a light switch that you just turn on overnight. and i think that's important, especially with this issue. because women are labelled troublemakers. the b-word and nothing good. they're not believed when they come forward. it takes immense courage. it's an excruciating choice.

for me, i realized that my career, my american dream of 27 years of hard work that it was going to come to an end and it wasn't my choice. and i decided that i had to speak up if i didn't who was going to do it. and i didn't want my children to face the same indignities i had faced. >> you also say that many women -- any woman who has spoken up, it's not just tv news, you said it crosses all kinds of businesses where this is an issue. but you point out in your book that any woman who has spoken up is no longer in her chosen career. it's surprising. >> it's equal opportunity epidemic. i started hearing from thousands of women after my story broke and they were waitresses, bankers, flight attendants, teachers. many of whom have thanked me. because they faced this pervasive issue. this is a silent epidemic in our country. >> the perpetrator is in still in place. >> they are because we have chosen as a culture to silence

the victims either with settlements where you're gagged from ever saying what happened to you. or enforced arbitration which is a part of employment contracts now. it's credit. we need to change that. >> explain for everyone that doesn't know. the arbitration. all of us sign contracts like that. it means what? >> per vicive employments now a clause it means you're giving up the seventh amendment right when you sign it to go to an open jury process. when we start new jobs, none of us expect to get into disputes. i didn't. if you do, it's going to be resolved through arbitration. but here is the key, it's secret. you can never tell anyone what you're doing. no one will ever know about it. 20% of the time only the employee wins that much. >> you say silence is the most powerful weapon of the harasser. >> guess what happens, gayle? the woman gets fired. she never goes back to her chosen career. and harasser is left in the workplace to continue harassing.

>> which is the case in your settlement? >> the case with my settlement is that i can continue to talk about this issue, which i've been doing so much work on it for 15 months. i can't tell you the nitty-gritty details. you can look at it online. >> when you spoke out some of your fox news colleagues, like sean hannity publicly doubted your stories and defended roger ailes at the time. janine peer row said this guy is doing 8 million things a day. you think he's chasing her around? i know you can't speak about specifics. were you prepared from the action from women you work with? >> yes. >> you were? >> yes. look how we react when women have the courage to come forward. we need to change this. and we are. look at what is happening with the harvey weinstein story. >> you call it a tipping point. you call it a water shed moment why. >> women and putting names and faces to the issue. it's not just anonymity anymore.

i believe as horrifying as the revelations were i'm optimistic the hard work i've been doing for the last 15 months is paying off. the #me too trending for the last two days. now men are putting out their own hashtags to say, jeff, they want to be on board. and we need men to help us. >> yeah. >> that is very important they're in part of this conversation. there's a great article in the hollywood reporter by a show runner for shon that rhymes on abc. she said this entire culture is come police it. we make it about harvey. we've already lost. many people say we're focussing on that. look at the picture picture of what is happening in all industry. >> the thousands of women who reached out their stories were never told. i became a voice for them. in being able to publicly tell

my story. i hope those women will find the courage and bravery to tell their stories. and we'll tell them for them to eradicate this problem. that we will tell them for them to eradicate this problem. >> one of the places you're told to tell your story is human resources. sometimes they're not your friend. you say they're like the kgb. >> my lawyer called them that. and i want to reach out to those who are doing a good job but i advocate in the book there are maybe better ways to solve this issue. hire an ombudsman to come in, an independent person who's not getting their paycheck from possibly the harasser. and also we need to encourage more bystander training. >> more what? >> bystander training. >> what is that? >> people witness it. do you think for the 30 years of the allegations going on with harvey weinstein and other stories, people knew about it. there were enablers and the company covered it up, so we

need to encourage bystanders to also come forward. >> i've heard people say we knew he might have been a brute or a bully about his movies. we might have known he was a -- but we didn't know that. we didn't know it was to that extreme. to that you say? >> i'm sure other people knew that. i'm sure they did. this is the way it works and this is how we continue to cover it up. >> you watched when the billy bush tape came out during the campaign. you watched this with your kids. why did you do that? >> well, the first time i didn't watch it with my kids. i wanted to see what it was for myself. but i felt that it was imperative that i showed my 12 and 14-year-old kids that this is not how you treat human beings. i think it was a teaching moment for millions of parents across america. at least i hope it was. that they could show their children that this is not how you respect women. because look, it starts with our kids young. this is why i have an entire

chapter on how i believe we should parent our kids in an equal fashion. because it's really more about our sons. how are we raising them to respect women when they eventually get into the workplace, and that videotape, i don't care what your politics are, sexual harassment is apolitical and this is why everyone should care about it. when somebody harasses you, they don't say are you a republican or a democrat? they just to do it. this is why we should all care about it and human decency supersedes any political policy in my mind. >> was it all worth it when you look back at it? you wrote in the book how lonely it was sometimes, you didn't hear from people you expected to hear from. you were lonely at times. was it worth it for you to go through this? >> it was, gayle. if there's one constant thing about me, i always take on a challenge head on and never give up. i know that i have been a voice for so many women who never had one. and now i'm seeing that something good is coming of

this. and i really hope that i can change laws on capitol hill as well and get rid of the secrecy so we take this issue out of the shadows and help so many others. >> gretchen carlson, thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> as norah said, really good to see you at the table. thank you. proceeds from be fierce will go to gretchenes gift of courage fund. the book is on sale today wherever you like to buy your books. ahead, nassau witnesses a rare collision of stars in deep space for the first time. how the spectacular cosmic explosion could teach us with the origins of our most precious metals. and jim axelrod takes us a mile underground to show how an old gold mine is accepting scientists do cutting edge research in an ultra pure environment. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. you're w g "cbs this morning." we'll be back.

the carquinez bridge, it's going to take but 51 minutes so almost an hour. pretty typical this time of the morning. no accidents reported heading into san francisco but backed up into the macarthur maze at the bridge. southbound 101 connected to northbound 880 one lane is blocked for an accident. high wispy clouds for parts of the bay area today. visibilities not impacted by the smoke and the haze. all of that is still burning though in the north bay hills. temperatures were pretty hot out there yesterday reaching 90s even above 90 degrees but santa rosa in the 90s. san rafael 76. san francisco 70 degrees. so temperatures are pretty much where we should be this time of the year. this high pressure is now moving east. and it's actually helping brings us an onshore wind bringing in low pressure that's expected to bring rain on thursday/friday.
