45th, but his focus was clear. >> we've seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty. at times it can seem like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together. >> reporter: he suggested that an america first mindset is distorting our democracy. >> we've seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to america. >> reporter: there was no specific reference to president trump's mantra. >> that was fake news. >> reporter: but president bush pointedly called on journalists to uphold their integrity for the sake of the republic. >> a democracy needs a media that is transparent, accurate, and fair. >> reporter: a similar call to arms was made by another senior republican earlier this week, senator john mccain. >> for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism, cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats

than solve problems. >> reporter: today, former president barack obama also spoke out. >> the world counts on america having its act together. >> reporter: appearing at a democratic rally in new jersey, he urged young voters to fight back. >> we are rejecting a politics of division. we are rejecting a politics of fear. that we are embracing a politics that says everybody counts. >> reporter: president bush said he believes the american spirit will ultimately prevail. >> the american spirit does not say, "we shall manage." or "we shall make the best of it." it says, "we shall overcome," and that is exactly what we're going to do. >> reporter: it is a standard rule for presidents not to criticize their successors. but perhaps, this is another example where the standard rules no longer apply. anthony. >> mason: margaret brennan. thank you, margaret.

we're joined now by john dickerson, our chief washington correspondent and anchor of "face the nation." john, general kelly's unexpected appearance in the briefing room was deeply personal and political and expressed real regret that this debate had crossed into what he considered sacred ground. >> well, what general kelly was talking about and specific today was actually a broader, more general fear, that secretary of defense mattis has been worried about for some time. he said one of the things that worries him the most is that political fights are now permanent, and there has been a split in america that is forgetting our common humanity. everything is a chance to score a point. and thankfully, secretary mattis has said, the military has not been corroded by that constant combat. but that may have now changed because this recent back-and-forth touches on this most-sacred part of public life-- a commitment by men and women to offer their life for their country. no one wants to cheapen that. but now we're in the third round or so of this fight in which

each side is looking for the devastating blow to score against the other. the only way that these get reset is if someone shows restraint or extends a hand to the other side in the name of that sacred sacrifice that mr. kelly was talking about today. >> mason: the backdrop, meanwhile, was different, but we just saw president bush express similar concerns about some of the same issues. >> well, general kelly at one point talked about the standards that have fallen away in america, the norms that have guided behavior. and what president bush was doing was essentially making the same case. his speech was a call to action. his argument was america had kind of gone off track. he said the health of the democratic spirit was at stake. overseas, this meant, according to president bush, that america needs to keep up its historical role promoting and fighting for common values overseas, and not to turn inward. at home, the president said, that those values need to be cultivated, too, through institutions and leaders, or else, through these win-at-all-cost arguments, we will forget our common humanity.

>> mason: an emotional day in washington. john dickerson. thank you very much, john. still ahead, important health news and harvey weinstein now faces a criminal investigation.

i'm anthony mason. thanks for watching. hi everyone and welcome to the overnight news. donald trump has faced harsh criticism for his handling of the deaths of four u.s. soldiers in niger. yesterday chief of staff former marine general kelly strolled into the white house press room to defend the president. >> and he said to me, "what do i say?" i said to him, "sir, there's nothing you can do to lighten the burden on these families." but let me tell you what i tell them. he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. he knew what he was getting into by joining the-- that 1%. he knew what the possibilities

were because we're at war. and when he died, in the four cases we're talking about in niger, and in my son's case in afghanistan-- when he died, he was surrounded by best men on this earth-- his friends. that's what the president tried to say to a-- to four families the other day. i was stunned, when i came to work yesterday morning, and broken-hearted at what i saw a member of congress doing. a member of congress who listened in on a phone call from the president of the united states to a young wife. and in his way, tried to express that opinion that he's a brave man, a fallen hero. he knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted. there was no reason to enlist. he enlisted. and he was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be with exactly the people he

wanted to be with, when his life was taken. that was the message. that was the message that was transmitted. >> nancy cordes has more. >> the four u.s. soldiers were ambushed just over two weeks ago by 50 isis connected fighters >> our thoughts and prayers are with. >> reporter: but for 12 days, the president himself said nothing about the deaths-- no tweets, no statements-- until he was asked about his silence at a rose garden press conference on monday. >> i'm going to be calling them. i want a little time to pass. i'm going to be calling them. >> reporter: but then, he made this explosive claim about his predecessors: >> the traditional way, 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: the comment drew instant fury from top obama officials. one said, stop the damn lying." another called him "a deranged animal." but the president wouldn't back down, offering up his own chief of staff as proof.

kelly's son, second, secretary kelly's son, second lieutenant robert kelly, was killed in afghanistan in 2010. >> 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. i write letters, and i also call. >> reporter: on tuesday, president trump did call la david johnson's widow as she was riding to miami airport to retrieve her husband's body. democratic congresswoman frederica wilson happened to be in the car. >> he never said the word "hero." he said to the wife, "well, i guess he knew what he was getting into." how insensitive can you be? >> reporter: she said his tone made johnson's widow cry. president trump said wilson was making it up. >> didn't say what that congresswoman said. didn't say it at all. she knows it. >> reporter: but the fallen soldier's mother told "the washington post" he did say it, and wilson said five other people were in the car, too. >> i don't have time to go back and forth with the president. i have work to do.

he has work to do, too. so he needs to do it, like i'm doing mine. it was nine years ago that former president george w. bush left office and during that time has refeigned from speaking out against congress or the white house. well, those days are apparently over. >> bigotry seemed more em boldened. our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories, and outright fabrication. >> reporter: today, the 43rd president made no mention of the 45th, but his focus was clear. >> we've seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty. at times it can seem like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together. >> reporter: he suggested that an america first mindset is distorting our democracy. >> we've seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to america. >> reporter: there was no

specific reference to president trump's mantra. >> that was fake news. >> reporter: but president bush pointedly called on journalists to uphold their integrity for the sake of the republic. >> a democracy needs a media that is transparent, accurate, and fair. >> reporter: a similar call to arms was made by another senior republican earlier this week, senator john mccain. >> for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism, cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems. >> reporter: today, former president barack obama also spoke out. >> the world counts on america having its act together. >> reporter: appearing at a democratic rally in new jersey, he urged young voters to fight back. >> we are rejecting a politics of division. we are rejecting a politics of fear. that we are embracing a politics that says everybody counts. >> reporter: president bush said he believes the american spirit will ultimately prevail.

>> the american spirit does not say, "we shall manage." or "we shall make the best of it." it says, "we shall overcome," and that is exactly what we're going to do. two weeks after a special forces team was ambushed in niger there are more questions than answers about the battle. david martin has the latest. >> after the bodies of three american soldiers had been brought out, pentagon officials believed sergeant la david johnson was still alive somewhere on the battlefield. for several hours, they tracked a locator beacon which then became intermittent and finally faded out. by the time they found him two days later, he was dead, raising the awful possibility an american soldier had been left behind. a possibility which the pentagon's lieutenant general kenneth mckenzie flatly rejected. >> i'll tell you categorically that from the moment of contact, no one was left behind, either

u.s., our partner, nigerian forces, or french forces, were on the ground actively searching for the soldiers. >> reporter: according to defense secretary mattis, the first reinforcements to arrive were french aircraft, starting about 30 minutes after the ambush was reported. >> the french response included fighter aircraft-- armed fighter aircraft, armed helicopter gunships, medevac helos that lifted out our wounded. >> reporter: but the first american aircraft to arrive was an unarmed helicopter operated by a u.s. contractor who had been hired to provide support to the 1,000 american troops operating across a country the size of texas. >> we did have a contract aircraft that lifted out our killed in action. >> reporter: one question for which there is no answer yet is whether warning signs an ambush was in the works were missed. pentagon officials say an american reconnaissance aircraft was in the air, but it was not watching over the patrol until it was called in after the ambush started. david martin, cbs news, the

late night talk show host jimmy kimmel is coming under fire from conservative groups over his sometimes biting criticism over president trump. well kimmel said he has no intention of toning it down. >> do you love it hear? >> i do it's dirty and kind of gross but i do love it here. >> for jimmy kimmel, hollywood is home. >> the weather is beautiful. there's great restaurants here. there's a lot 20 do. what's not to like. >> i'm with you. >> i say as somebody goes through the garbage can. >> fans of his nightly show have been lining up here for the past 13 years.

lately he's become more than just another face in the late night crowd. >> here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ >> kimmel who turns 50 next month was always the loveable frat boy at 11:30 but like other late night hosts he put comedy on hold after the las vegas massacre. >> maybe i'm nuts but i'd like to think we can put politics aside. no american citizen needs an m-16 or ten of them. maybe that way we don't do this again. >> kimmel's call for gun control after the shooting was both praised and criticized. >> one saying who made jimmy kimmel the moral arbitar. >> i'm not you don't have to watch the show, don't have to listen to what i say. >> his monologues written before every show have drawn fire from

critic who's bash him from everything to being wrong on gun control to being soft on harvey weinstein. >> it's a bit of a risk talking about that stuff. you might lose the audience. >> yeah i saw a study or poll or a combination of those two things like three years ago that i was equally liked by republicans and democrats and republican numbers went way down like 30% or whatever. as a talk show host that's not ideal but i would do is it again in a heart beat. >> you don't mind if republicans turn off your show. >> i don't say i don't mind. i want everyone with a television to watch the show but if they're so turned off by my opinion on health care and gun violence, then, i don't know, i probably won't want to have a conversation with them anyways. >> good riddance. >> well, not good riddance but

riddance. >> truth is kimmel still marvels at the thought of anyone watching him on tv. nothing in jimmy kimmel's boyhood was as fascinating as late night tv, born in brooklyn and raised in las vegas he grew up in awe of david letterman his 18th birthday cake spelt out late night. so did his nevada license plates. >> when you discovered david letterman did that become a dream to become a late night host. >> never. i never imagined there would ever be another late night host. it never occurred to me that johnny carson and david letterman would go off the air, it never occurred me, i'm a little snow. >> he started on "win ben's money".

>> he also helped to create a satire of crude male behavior called "the man show". >> and now the hosts of the man show adam carola and jimmy kimmel. >> it was a fun show, some people didn't understand we were joking so there were kind of two aud jenseiences for that show. the audience that was in on it and the audience that wasn't. >> and being angry that they weren't. >> we tried to make it like a lot of angry people were watching but something like 40% of our audience was female. >> what kind of a maniac wants this job? >> in 2003, abc offered him a talk show of his own. >> it seemed like a good idea at the time. i quickly realized it wasn't. >> what do you mean? >> six months it i prayed they

would cancel it. it was overwhelming. nobody wanted to be on the show. it was live from 9:00 to 10:00 every night i was depressed, nobody seemed to be watching the show. it was very unpleasant all the way around. >> he stuck it out and survived. in part on the strength of viral videos like the one where then girlfriend sarpa silverman many taunts him about sleeping with matt damon. by the way kimmel's feud with damon is one of the longest running gags in the show. >> i hacked into the system. >> so complete this sentence, matt damon and i are really -- >> -- enemies. matt damon and i have a complicated relationship. >> kimmel also has a sentimental side. he takes his show home to brooklyn every year. his idle david letterman stopped

in in 2012. >> are you on facebook? no. do you have e-mail. >> yes. >> yeah. >> and we got a color tv also. >> you think back on how long the odds were. >> but you did it. >> yeah i guess we did. yeah. >> and he doesn't done it all by himself. his two grown children from a previous marriage, kevin 24 and katie 26 have both appeared on their dad's shows. head writer became his bride in 2013 and their three-year-old daughter jane is almost a regular. >> you remember all of the candy we got. >> yeah. >> well daddy ate all of it. >> no. >> yeah. >> the show was all fun and games until this past april when his son billy was born with a heart defect. >> it was a scary story and before i go into it i want you to know it has a happy ending.

>> his on air story about his son's fight for his life became a action for health care. >> if you're baby is going to die and doesn't have to, it shouldn't matter how much money you make. whether you're a republican or democrat or something else we all agree on that, right. >> what stays with you from the fee feedback you got? >> i think it's the other families. and, you know, a lot of people will tell you their stories, a heart operation is no joke, but families guys cancer and ongoing illnesses, and you know, that's what stays guys me. that's what stays with me. >> i know you learned a lot about health care through this. what did you learn about your own family, about molly? >> she's very weak tlie threw the whole thing

. >> she was very weak through the whole thing. i was the strong one. i'm joking to make myself not cry. it's when you really appreciate your family. and it's funny we weren't sure we wanted a second child, i have two older kids and we really love our daughter obviously but we definitely learned we wanted to have a baby. that became very, very clear at that moment. >> all right. >> not only are you our boss you're also our best friend! >> the pre-show chant with his writers are a running joke but the ratings are ticking up. he might be walking in the foot steps of giants but jimmy kimmel has found a way to stand out. >> you have this show, doing great, getting recognized, what next? >> there really is no next when you host a show like mine. >> this is it? >> yeah this is probably it. but i never feel like it. i feel like i snuck in and i do

sometimes i'll, like, drive by a neighbors house and they have a big window and see, you know, yourself on the television, it's like wow there's people in their houses watching me. that's -- that's crazy, you know. lilly.
