>> good to be here. >> always good to have you. as you wake up in the west today, president trump is fueling new controversy over one of the most solemn duties of any president, speaking to families of troops killed in action. the white house says the president's chief of staff, john kelly, did not get a call from then president obama when kelly's son, a marine lieutenant, was killed in afghanistan. mr. trump brought up the issue in a radio interview. >> the president is also accused of being insensitive in a phone call to the widow of a green beret killed in west africa early are this month. she received the call while on the way to greet her husband's casket at the airport. >> details of the conversation come from a democratic congresswoman who overheard the call. margaret brennan is at the white house with more on all of this. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president spoke last night with the families of all four of those green berets killed in niger and thanked them for their service. but in defending his own response to the attack, the

president ignited another controversy. president trump frequently speaks of his respect for u.s. military leaders, like his chief of staff, john kelly, a retired marine general. on tuesday, he thrust kelly into the spotlight to make a political point. >> i mean you could ask general kelly, did he get a call from obama? you could ask other people. i don't know what obama's policy was. >> reporter: kelly, who declined to comment, has made clear in the past he does not want his son, robert's death exploited and rarely speaks publicly about it. >> there are no words that can make it better, i know that. >> reporter: on memorial day this year president trump visited robert's grave and called attention to his loss. >> robert died fighting enemies of all civilizations in afghanistan. >> reporter: earlier this week, mr. trump claimed that past commanders in chief did not always call gold star families. >> president obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls, a lot of them didn't make calls. >> reporter: a claim swiftly refuted by presidents clinton, bush and obama.

mr. trump made it while defending why it took 12 days to publicly acknowledge the deaths of the four green berets, including sergeant la david johnson. on tuesday, sergeant johnson's remains were transferred back to his widow in miami, who also took a condolence call from the president. florida democrat and congresswoman frederica wilson was with johnson when mr. trump called. >> he never said the word hero. he said to the wife, well, i guess he knew what he was getting into. >> reporter: the president tweeted this morning that wilson fabricated her account, but the congresswoman is standing by her version of events. myeshia johnson has not responded to requests for comment by cbs news. now, the white house still hasn't explained why it took the president 12 days to publicly acknowledge the deaths, but did explain that it took until this monday for them to vet the information provided by the pentagon and confirm that the next of kin had been notified of

the deaths. >> all right, margaret brennan there at the white house, thank you so much. the success or failure of a bipartisan fix for obamacare insurance markets could hinge on the white house. the president seemed to endorse a temporary plan from senators lamar alexander and patty murray yesterday. but then he appeared to turn away from the deal hours later. the president is cutting off obamacare subsidies to health insurers. the congressional budget office estimates that could move and raise premiums by 20% next year. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this deal is primarily aimed at reinstating those payments and it is also significant because it's the first time in seven years that democratic and republican leaders have cut a deal that could be viewed as fixing parts of obamacare. >> i'm grateful to the president for encouraging me on two occasions in phone calls to try to get a bipartisan agreement with senator murray.

>> reporter: the republican chair of the senate health committee and his democratic counterpart announced that their plan would reduce premiums on the individual market and prevent millions from losing coverage. >> chairman alexander and i were able to find common ground on a number of steps to stabilize the markets. >> reporter: their plan would provide $106 million to promote obamacare enrollment, something the white house recently announced would be slashed. the plan would also reinstate subsidies for insurance companies for two years, lowering the cost of coverage. president trump announced last week he would no longer authorize those payments. >> that money is going to insurance companies to lift up their stock price and that's not what i'm about. >> reporter: but in the rose garden yesterday, mr. trump seemed to endorse the bipartisan deal. >> lamar has been working very, very hard with the democratic -- his colleagues on the other side, patty murray is one of them in particular, and they're

coming up and they're fairly close to a short-term solution. >> reporter: hours later in a speech at the heritage foundation, the president seemed to change his tune. >> i continue to believe congress must find a solution to the obamacare mess instead of providing bailouts to insurance companies. >> reporter: last night, the president tweeted any increase in obamacare premiums is the fault of the democrats for giving us a product that never had a chance of working. some republicans will argue that this deal simply props up obamacare, a law that many of them believe is destined to fail. but they have also been unable so far to pass a replacement. so for now, gayle, there are millions of people who rely on the stability of these individual insurance markets. >> nancy, thank you. president trump is looking for a new czar nominee this morning. republican congressman tom marino withdrew yesterday saying the best course of action is to remove the distraction my

nomination has created. a "60 minutes"/"washington post" investigation found marino worked on a new law that weakened the dea's ability to block suspicious drug shipments. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein promises a review. >> the issue addressing the "60 minutes" piece and "the post" story is illegitimate pharmaceutical drugs for illegitimate issues. >> lawmakers are working on a new bill giving regulators more tools to fight the opioid epidemic. president trump is firing back at senator john mccain. the president issued a warning yesterday to the arizona republican one day after mccain slammed current american foreign policy adds, quote, half baked, spurious nationalism. mr. trump responded in a radio interview at the white house. >> you heard what he said yesterday, senator mccain. >> yeah, well, i hear it. people have to be careful

because at some point i fight back, you know. i'm being very nice. i'm being very, very nice. but at some point i fight back and it won't be pretty. >> when asked about that threat, mccain said he doesn't want to fight with the president. >> i don't comment on what the president says, i comment on what he does. and i will say that i've faced some pretty tough adversaries in the past. i'm not interested in confronting the president, i'm interested in working with the president. >> mccain said he will not let personal issues interfere with politics. harvey weinstein cut the last link to the management of his former media empire as the sex scandal widens. the disgraced movie mogul resigned yesterday from the board of directors of the weinstein company. he had retained his board seat despite being fired last week from running day-to-day operations. and this morning his brother, bob weinstein, is also facing a sexual harassment allegation.

bianna golodryga joins us. >> a legally damaging now phase for the company, good morning. weinstein called in his resignation reportedly from a treatment facility in arizona. he has apologized for his past hurtful behavior, but denies in engaging in any nonconsensual sex. nearly 60 women now accuse him of misconduct, ranging from sexual harassment to rape. >> whatever stands in our way, we will defeat it. >> lena headey is on "game of thrones" but says she felt powerless when harvey weinstein tried to force her into his hotel room. he whispered in my ear don't tell anyone about this, not your manager, not your agent, she shared on twitter. i got into my car and i cried. on tuesday the weinstein company board ratified its decision to fire weinstein. a formality given that he resigned from the board that same day. his ouster, legal experts say,

does not protect the company from potential lawsuits. >> it is going to be the age-old question, what did the company know and when did it know it? >> reporter: allegations of harassment across hollywood are growing. amazon studios chief roy price resigned following an accusation of sexual harassment. actress reese witherspoon speaking at an event in los angeles revealed that she was assaulted by an unnamed director when she was 16. >> i have my own experiences that come back to me very vividly. and i found it really hard to sleep. >> on tuesday amanda segel said she was harassed by harvey's brother, bob. >> bob weinstein was generally abusive with people in my company. >> and jeffrey katzenberg, the brother's former boss at disney, said bob belittled and bullied

his employees. >> the one person who did unacceptable to me was bob. >> bob weinstein's lawyer told cbs this morning variety's story about bob weinstein is riddled with false and misleading assertions by miss segel and we have the e-mails to prove it. he did not respond to a question about katzenberg's comments so it does raise questions as to whether bob weinstein will remain at the company if in fact they are acquired by colony capital. also it broadens a discussion beyond just the corridors of the weinstein company to others within the industry. >> it gets uglier and uglier. thank you very much, bianna. damage estimates from northern california's deadly wildfires topped $3 billion and that number is expected to grow. the wineries were hit hard. more than 30 were destroyed or damaged after the fires broke out early last week. aid ya adriana diaz is at a winery this suffered extensive damage. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. california wine making is a $58

billion business but now some of that could be up in smoke. if you look around here, a wildfire tore through this vineyard, destroying this work truck and the vines behind it. we got a look at the damage from the air in a california national guard helicopter. >> i've never seen anything like this. this literally looks like a bomb hit this neighborhood. >> reporter: the wind-driven firestorm burned entire neighborhoods to the ground. >> just when you think the destruction is over, we pass over a hill and there are even more neighborhoods where houses have been completely decimated. >> reporter: also destroyed, huge expanses of vineyards. >> this was the house. >> reporter: ken mow holt see better not only lost the home his grand father built but part of the vineyard and he said the primetime to harvest the surviving grapes was last week, but closed roads kept him away from his property. >> they're a little past when i would like to have picked them. you start to see them shrink a

little bit and that's a loss of weight and that counts on the bottom line. >> reporter: he could face not only a loss of income but major expenses as well. things like ripping up the soil and replacing irrigation systems. even grapes untouched by the flames could be tainted by smoke, affecting dozens of wineries. >> i would say there's probably 30 to 60 that have been heavily impacted. >> reporter: lewis perdue is a wine industry analyst. >> is that a large percentage of the vineyards out here? >> well, you have to realize there are somewhere dloclose to0 wineries in napa and sonoma. so it's serious, but it's not a killer blow to the industry. >> reporter: if there's any silver lining here, it's that 90% of the grapes in napa were already harvested before the wildfires started. the wine tourism industry here, the tasting rooms, the hotels, the tour bus companies, all want

people to know that most of wine country is still open. >> thank you very much. china's president, xi jinping said it's time for his country to take center stage in the world. he told the opening of the chinese communist party today that there's a new choice for other countries. this summit happens every five years and determines who rules china and what direction the country will take. he is expected to remain in charge. the summit will last almost a week. two federal judges blocked the trump administration's newest travel ban before it took effect this morning. several states challenged the ban. judges in hawaii and maryland found the government didn't show how the ban improved national security. the rulings do not affect travel bans for venezuela and north korea. wall street opened higher this morning one day after hitting a new milestone. the dow jones industrial average soared past 23,000 for the first time. it closed just below that mark, gaining 40 points yesterday.

since the start of the 2017, the dow has climbed more than 3,000 points. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here with what's behind the record-setting surge. jill, good morning. what are some of the factors? >> i think the first thing is that the economy is growing and the global economy is growing and that may have a bigger factor this year because the rest of the world has caught up to the u.s. we also know that corporate profits are doing quite well. they have done quite well for the last six months or so. and that's been helpful. and we're in a low interest rate environment. you put those three things together, you get a surging market and it's a continuation of this strong bull market. it is now the second longest bull market on record. >> well, the president has taken credit for the surge. can he? >> well, i think partially. let's think about this. we've got a bull market, it started back in march of 2009. so the first 92 months of the bull market, that occurred under president obama. the most recent 11 months under president trump. now, the reality is when he was

first elected, people thought the market is going to go up. we're going to get infrastructure spending, we're going to get tax reform and regulatory reform. of those three we've gotten a little regulatory reform and that's it. i still think the fundamentals are what's driving the market right now, not so much what the trump administration is doing, although they are saying they will do something. >> how worried are you about how long this can last? >> i'm always worried. tomorrow marks the 30th anniversary of the crash of 1987. i hate to admit it, but i was a young pup trader that month. it was scary. that day the stock market dropped by 22% in one session. that is as if the dow dropped 5,000 points or more right now. that was caused by a confluence of various things, but reality is those things are not present now. they could always happen. it's good to be defensive. don't take on too much risk. >> and yet we recovered from that and will. >> yes, but we don't want to

have to go through it again. >> jill, thank you very much. the hotel security guard who first encountered the las vegas gunman, stephen paddock, is speaking out for the first time. ahead, the new details jesus campos revealed to ellen degeneres, including how he stopped a building engineer from running into the gunfire. but first, it is 7:19. >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by brighthouse financial. established by metlife. ouncer: this national weather report sponsored by brice brakehouse financial, established by metlife.

have been hit. >> and so he was still shooting, and you would have been hit if he had not told you? >> yes, and that he were passing behind my head, and i could feel the pressure. >> stephen paddock killed 58 people that night and if not for campos, that number could have been higher. >> i wanted to mention to all of the people who assisted that night, whether it was metro, the fbi or the community especially coming out to help everyone in need, everyone came together to help that night even main the darkest hour. >> campos' quick thinking saved the life of a woman who nearly walked into the gun fire when she came out of her room into the hallway. at the end of the interview, ellen degeneres said that they both turned down cash donations, but they did give them some tickets to their favorite football team's game. >> oh, they don't feel like

heroes. >> and so there is still some clarity about the time line? >> yes, the police have said one thing and the hotel another, and it is still sort of out there, and what i found chilling is that we were up in the mand laylay bay, and we had a vantage point and so that is the most chilling part of the story is seeing what he was seeing. >> thank you. >> and a crackdown on what is national epidemic off kids caught up in trafficking. there has been a nationwide sweep since last week involving fbi field offices from all 50 states. jeff gates received access to the operation, and you will see it only on "cbs this morning. ooh "and he is in washington head kwart quarters. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. it is called operation cross country and so far 84 children have been recovered and 184 alleged a traffickers arrested. they have been focusing on ba

wife sage. they explore forgiveness and personal fulfillment. we're pleased to have "60 minutes" special contributor -- i love saying that -- oprah, sit up straight. good morning. >> good morning. glad to be back at the table. >> we're glad to have you at the table. do you want to say you were up late? >> we saw bruce springsteen last night. every time i think about it i was tearing up. >> he was so raw. >> it was so raw, so personal, so pure. you come away feeling more like a human being. >> it's a one-person show. >> yes. it's called bruce. >> and, jeff, he doesn't want you to sing, which is very, very hard. >> i feel like my soul has been stirred and now wants to rise. it wasn't that moving? >> he's be good for "super soul

sunday." >> he'd be good for anything. >> let's talk about "super soul sunday." you say without gary zsoo cover there wouldn't be a super soul sunday. >> i started doing these spiritual conversations where the producers were like, oh, god, we have to talk the spirituality thing. gary zoo cover was on to talk "seed of the soul." it was my intention to make that number one book on the bestseller's list. remember when "road less traveled." was on for eight years? i wanted that to become the next offering. he said something in the book about intex. we know what you put out is coming back, but even before what you put out is coming back, there's an intention behind what you put out. so i use that principle of intention actually for every one of my shows since 1989. i would sit with the producers and say when you present an idea

to me, come clear and be clear about what your intention is and i have to find my intention within yours in order to sit in the seat and to do the interview. so those principles of living your life with a sense of integrity, with a sense of intention, gratitude, learning to forgive people for the mistakes they've made and you've made have helped me lead a more meaningful life. so i've interviewed these thousands -- not thousands, hundreds of people, feels like thousand, but had my own aha moments. >> don't you love when you have an aha moment? >> yes. >> i had an aha month reading this because you spoke of spirit yult. most think about god and you define the spirit as here. >> yes. because all of us are seeking the same thing. we share this desire to fulfill the highest expression of truth in ourselves and that's what

spirit yult means to me. you know, i was having a conversation years ago with carolyn mays who had spoken on spirituality. i saw the audience eyes glazing over. i stopped the show and said, you're all not tracking. >> because you wonder are you talking about the holy spirit. >> moses, the disciples. so, no, you have the body, mind, spirit. it's all three. that's what this book is all about. >> and you know we have podcasts now. not only podcasts but 10 million people have downloaded them. >> i heard the podcasts are doing well. i love that people are listening to calming peaceful information that makes our lives bet owner the way to work or when they're working out or whatever.

>> can we talk about this concept of disease? it was a little bit of what tony robbins was talking about about acting spontaneously and not the way you're supposed to act. we're talking about the disease to please. >> i don't have it anymore. may biggest problem was learning to say no and not saying yes when i really meant no like yes, uh-huh, uh-huh, yes. so learning to say no and learning that no is a complete sentence and that doing -- you know what changed that? was living from the principle of intention. so if you only do what you intend to do, you don't end up says yes to thinks you don't want to say yes to. >> that zukoff book really changed you. >> definitely. it's one of the biggest influences. >> let's talk about harvey weinstein. you haven't spoken publicly about what's going on. >> i'm always trying to look for

the rainbow in the cloud or the silver lining. this is what i know for sure. when something this major happens, when you have the fallout and 50 women coming forward, it's a watershed moment and what i i do believe is actually happening is first of all it's triggering a lot of unreleased pain, repressed anger, guilt, and suffering that a lot of women have had. i happened to be on set with several actresses the other day and we were filming some things and they were like -- they hadn't slept over a period of two or three days and i was like what is that. oh, you guys are suffering from ptsd. >> you start talking about it out loud. >> everybody has a story. and so i think this is a watershed moment. and if we make this just about harvey weinstein, then we will have lost this moment. i think this is a moment where no matter what business you work in, there have been women who not only had the disease to please, that's a part of it, but

felt that in order to keep my job, in order to keep my positioning in order to keep moving forward, e even about got to smile, look the other way, i've got to pretend he dnld say that, pretend he didn't touch me. i think those days are about to be over. >> are over. and if it happens to you back in the day, sometimes you're not aware what he just said was inappropriate. >> i know you've had a couple of moments. yes, i remember, gayle had a moment when she came to me and said something that was so inappropriate i said, you can sue over that. i said, what did you say and they repeated it. i sat there typing. >> you pretend its okay. >> no, you're right, jeff. you're absolutely right. >> but a lot of women have been silenced. >> i do think it's going to change, oprah. >> being a victim of child sexual abuse that when you feel like you cannot be heard and then other people start speaking out, it makes you feel like, oh,

now, i can speak out too. >> and you've been speaking about it for years. >> can we talk about "60 minutes." it's so unusual for you to be in control for them to say, that was good, can you do it again? >> let me tell you. when you go to "60 minutes --" >> how are the screenings? >> you've got a screening. i had two screenings in one day because i have a story coming up this sunday, by the way. so i had two screenings, and i decided i'm not going to be nervous about the screening. >> good luck with that. >> i'm not going to be nervous about the screening. i love the process of sitting in a room and everybody ripping your stuff apart. i love that. they say, go back, make it better. jeff fagan has an ear and an eye like nobody else. >> i know. >> he is the real deal.
