manuel bojorquez is in jacksonville where moore spoke last night. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. if last night's reception here was any indication, supporters are sticking by their candidate despite growing anti-moore sentiment in washington. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said he spoke with vice president pence on monday and president trump last friday trying to figure out how the gop should deal with moore's candidacy. >> they spent over $30 million trying to take me out. >> reporter: a defiant moore showed no signs of bowing out, while addressing the supportive crowd at the god save america revival conference. >> after 40 something years of fighting this battle, i'm now facing allegations. and that's all the press want to talk about. but i want to talk about the issues. >> reporter: fox news host sean hannity, who originally questioned the five women accusing moore of sexual misconduct, distanced himself from the candidate last night. >> for me, the judge has 24 hours. you must immediately and fully

come up with a satisfactory explanation for your inconsistencies. if you can't do this, then judge moore needs to get out of this race. >> reporter: senate majority leader mitch mcconnell did not rule out trying to expel moore if the alabama republican wins. >> he's obviously not fit to be in the united states senate. and we've looked at all the options to try to prevent that from happening. >> reporter: in his testimony before the house judiciary committee, attorney general jeff sessions sided against the man who wans his old senate seat. >> do you believe these young women? >> i am -- have no reason to doubt these young women. >> reporter: the democrat in the alabama race, doug jones, is capitalizing on the allegations in a new tv ad. >> you read the story and it just shakes you. >> i'm a lifelong republican, but i just can't do it. >> don't decency and integrity matter anymore? >> reporter: meanwhile there appear to be attempts to discredit the allegations against moore. a robo call from someone claiming to be a "washington

post" reporter was received by an alabama pastor and played for our affiliate, wkrg. >> if anyone at this address is a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old willing to make damaging remarks about candidate roy moore for a reward of between $5,000 to $7,000. >> reporter: in a statement, "the washington post" which first published the allegation said that call is fake and the newspaper is appalled that someone would stoop to that level to discredit real journalism. sources also tell cbs news that steve bannon, who helped moore get the nomination, is now deliberating whether to publicly disavow him. senate republicans say they have the votes to repeal the affordable care act's individual mandate. the obamacare law requires americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty. the senate financial committee is agdding the repeal to the ta reform bill to help pay for tax

cuts. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the newest gop move on health care. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is something of a surprise move for senate republicans, who initially said that tampering with obamacare would only complicate the politics of tax reform. but they warmed up to the idea because repealing the individual mandate would reduce the deficit by more than $300 billion over ten years and that's money that they could then plow back in to middle class tax cuts. the move, however, does have some drawbacks. according to the congressional budget office, the number of uninsured americans would increase by 13 million by the year 2027. last night the finance committee chairman, orrin hatch, released his new version indicating that the child tax credit would now double from $1,000 to $2,000 instead of $1,650. and he further reduced rates slightly for three middle class tax brackets. this in response to criticism that the plan primarily benefits

the wealthy. house speaker paul ryan says that the house version of the plan will not include a repeal of the individual mandate. their plan is simply too far along and they're hoping to hold a vote on it tomorrow. >> nancy, thank you. greek life at another university suspended this morning after the death of a fraternity pledge. matthew ellis, a student at texas state university, died on monday. police say the cause of death for the 20-year-old may have been alcohol poisoning. the university president said ellis went to an off-campus social event hosted by a fraternity on sunday night. jericka duncan is here with new details on this investigation. good morning. >> gayle, good morning. according to the university, matthew ellis was a phi kappa psi fraternity flej and the tsu fraternity chapter was already suspended by its national headquarters before its death. police say matthew ellis was unresponsive when they arrived at his off-campus apartment

monday morning. >> apartment 209. a 19-year-old male not conscious, not breathing. >> reporter: less than an hour later he was pronounced dead. police say alcohol poisoning may have been a factor. >> i can't speak to hazing at this point, it's too early in the investigation. but, yes, some of the individuals there at the residence indicated they had been at a fraternity party earlier. >> texas state university president denise trout called the death tragic and suspended all greek life activities. texas state university's phi kappa psi chapter was already scrutiny. the national chapter said they were heart broken, adding the chapter had been suspended last week for unrelated matters. phi kappa psi is not the only greek organization punished at texas state university. on its website, texas state university cited 15 greek organizations suspended or disciplined for hazing over the last three years, including four fraternities suspended following the death of jordin taylor after

a frat party last year. >> crazy stuff happens. >> she broke away from greek life last year. >> because of the stuff that goes on. i've seen it firsthand. >> the issue is not unique to texas state. earlier this month florida state suspended all greek organizations following the death of pledge andrew coffey. and 26 penn state fraternity brothers face charges in the hazing death of 19-year-old timothy piazza. ellis was in humble, texas, majoring in business. while alcohol may have played a role in his death, authorities are waiting on toxicology results from the autopsy to make a final determination. we have a major update this morning about our ongoing cbs news investigation into reports of carbon monoxide seeping into ford explorers. the automaker is now offering free repairs. 1.3 million owners of the popular suv will begin receiving notices today.

brandy who is suing ford and simmons both were diagnosed after driving an explorer. simmons just launched ford explorer nightmare.com hoping to rally support for a recall. >> what's it going to take before decisive action is taken. i know it's a lot of money for ford. but put a value on human life. >> reporter: nitsa will not talk about the timeline for its investigation but remains very concerned about this potential safety issue, adding that the actions by ford here with this action, they do not bring closure to the investigation. the agency is urging people who get this letter to call their car dealer. gayle. >> questions remain there. thank you very much, kris. three ucla basketball players are home in the united states this morning after spending seven days detained in china. liangelo ball, jalen hill and cody riley arrived last night at los angeles international airport. they were greeted by an army of photographers. they were arrested last week on suspicion of shoplifting in

hrges this week we are partnering with digital media company refinery 29 for our new series called my generation. refinery 29 is dedicated to issues affecting millennial women.

this morning we explore the often-overlooked 67%. that's the 67% of women in america who refinery 29 says are considered plus size, 14 and up. despite being a significant majority of the population, plus size women only make up a reported 1% to 2% of what we see in the media. refinery 29 is working to change that imbalance. >> i grew up reading magazines and really using them as my personal bible. >> there was never really anybody on tv that i could personally relate to. tv i could relate to. the plus size girl was always the funny friend and never the main character. the only representation i saw of my size was ursula from the little mermaid. so a villan. >> if i can't be defined, then am i even worth anything if there's no definition of who i am. >> the standard is not your own personal standard, it's the standard other people give you. where does that leave us as plus

size women? >> and with us this morning, refinery 29 cofounder and executive creative director. also, history making model denise. she's the first plus size model to walk on multiple straight size runways at new york fashion week. great to have you. thanks for coming up. thank you for having us. >> what was the turning point. >> refinery 29 is really a platform meant to celebrate and empower all women. we've been focused on representation to the extent i actually used to go out and cast models on the subway and streets of new york. we could be really representing what real women look like. last year, we learned that 67% of women in the u.s. are size 14 and up. and yet, media only represents them 1-2%. when we did an audit of ourselves, even though we had been really focused on showing real women, we raelgzed that we

had fallen short. for us, it was so important to fill that space and celebrate plus size women and do better by the plus size community. >> what's the response for readers thus far. >> we get moving letters from women saying thank you. i've never seen myself represented in media before. i grew up not seeing someone that looked like me and just really a lot of appreciation for being seen and being recognized. >> denise, can you see it happening in front of your eyes today, the changing perception. >> absolutely. i started modeling ten years ago. what i find so remarkable, i've been able to be a driving force behind the change we're now starting to see, but be able to mold the next generation. now what they're seeing is different than what we grew up with. we're creating and empowering strong opinionated and confident

women. little girls walking around. i can't wait to see what that does to them. >> what did it mean to you? they say you made history walking in the straight size model. what did it mean to do that? what did it feel like. you wrote a very moving essay about your own mother's struggle. . first what it meant for you and what affect it's having on your mom and now you have a daughter. >> in 2014, i got the honor to open a show at new york fashion week. which i was told many times would never be possible, but to get to open that one and walk the serena williams show and close that one was a huge milestone for our industry and possibilities. that was the first moment people really saw us and were like why wouldn't they walk alongside regular models. why would we exclude them. we should have a lineup of fully diverse individual women who can walk the clothes. that's the goal. to be able to look at the

runways and billboards and ads and see ourselves and know we can rock the cool clothing as well. >> there's pushback. you heard it from people saying you're promoting unhealthy life. you're promoting unhealthy body types. promoting obesity. this is not a good thing to promote. to that you say what. >> we definitely hear that fe feedback from people to me that underscores the bias we have in society. beyonce said perfection is the disease of the nation. it's the soul that needs the surgery. i think that's true. bias is held deep in our country. what's happening is by really focusing on this standard of beauty that promotes thinness, we leave so many women out and we really perpetuate shame. i don't think that shame is a motivator for healthy behavior. we're talking about health, but what about mental health and the self love that you need to be confident and exist in the world and to heal yourself. >> i think the moment that women

can see themselves in the media and this these features alongside everyone and we have these diverse campaigns, we create is this internal happiness that starts to seep out. when we create this generation of women who are supporting each other and who are happy, we change the playing field. >> we start casting them in the leading role. >> right. >> i like that. internal happiness. >> a little bit of that. thank you both for coming. >> thank you. >> thank you both for coming today. a national treasure gets a thorough medical exam. coming up next, see how a giant panda at the national zoo benefitted for modern meds and a little ancient healing too. you're watching cbs this morning. we'll be right back. de. i just go downstairs. i love you, but sometimes you stink. febreze air effects doesn't just mask, it cleans away odors.

us is rabbi steve leder. examined how we learned from painful events in our life and teaches events while counseling huge congregation as senior rabbi. at the whileshire temple. oldest synagogue in southern california. >> good morning. >> suffering is instructive. suffering is good for us. suffering leads us to what? >> in a way, i think we're all only truly whole after we've been broken somehow. because there's a depth of empathy and wisdom and kindness that only comes from having suffered some form of physical or emotional pain. you know, success doesn't teach us very much. it only encourages us to keep doing the same. only pain that forces us to change. >> that gets us to a place that we otherwise would have gone? >> there is no other way to get through that place. >> you believe everybody walks through hell in their lives. you just don't believe come

through empty-handed? >> exactly, we've all walked through kinds of hell. cancer, death, kid with addiction. >> you even speak you had to go through suffering yourself. you said you really didn't understand it until you were brought to your knees by a very painful accident and had severe back problems. the change made you nicer, you said. >> it's true. it's absolutely true. >> i thought rabbis were always nice. >> well, nicer. >> okay. >> i don't think i was a bad guy before, but definitely changed the way in which i relate to people when they come to me with pain. >> how? >> i've become a better listener. i've become a kinder person. >> more empathetic? >> or empathetic and more authentic in responding to their fears and anxiety. >> it talks to you about taking care of yourself as well. not just your congregation. you went back to the temple and there for the services even when your wife wanted you at home on the mend, right? >> yeah. >> one thing i was struck by in

the book, you said the hardest vocabulary words in the issue language are, i'm sorry, please forgive me, apology accepted. what's the state of the nation when we can't say those three phrases? >> there's a piece in the book called hurt and run. talks about three words even more difficult for human beings to say than i'm sorry and those three words are i was wrong. that is a much higher degree of ownership, of culpability, of responsibility, for our mistakes. i was wrong -- can change everything. it takes the sting out. it makes healing and reconciliation possible but to say, i was wrong, requires a degree of humanity that few people achieve without having suffered some kind of debilitating emotional or physical pain. >> you also say that no one endures pain better alone. >> correct. >> so many times we try to suck it up and buck it up. you said that's the wrong thing to do. >> that's correct. it's usually that go alone

attitude that gets us in trouble in the first place. there's another essay in the book called "the prisoner cannot prehimsel of free himself." none of us can free ourselves. we have to be either in enough pain and there humble enough or needy enough to reach out. if you reach out to people, you will be pleasantly surprised. they will help. >> people want to help. >> they dough do want to help. you will be disappointed by some, but mostly pleasantly surprised by others. >> you have a great line. people who really matter don't mind and people who matter don't matter. >> that's true. the people who really matter don't mind you reaching out. the people who mind, they really don't matter. suffering does strip away a lot of nonsense from our lives. >> you also say don't always be comfortable. right? >> yes, i think if we're too comfortable, it means we're doing something wrong. it also means if we're

comfortable, it also means we're turning a blind eye to the suffering of others. there's a piece in the book from my diary when i visited uganda. to be blind to that suffering. in order to remain comfortable to one self is narcissistic human being. we have to open to each other. we need each other. open to the suffering of others. this is about helping each other. thank you very much. >>. >> thank you. >> it's a really beautiful book. it's called "more beautiful than before." it's available wherever you like to buy your books. jordan peele. he's got a great story to tell. debut movie as a director is called "get out." it's predicted to be a contender for best picture at the oscars. i hope so. he's in the green room with why he wanted to tackle the issue of race in our country, but first,

enough. >> you're trying to tell your own truth. >> really my truth as a black man. my perspective that i haven't seen in film before. i haven't seen that represented. >> like. >> so like in the party scene. in get out. for example, there's a scene where, you know, it's a group. he's the only black guy. it's a bunch of older white people who are trying to connect with him on his blackness first. saying things like i know tiger. right. that's the situation that, you know, i've been in. i think every minority has been in. i think i imagine you -- if you're a woman in a room full of men, you're viewed as a woman before you're viewed as a human being. it's those little on if surface it's a harmless thing. i wanted to point out with this film is that it's connected to

the real deep horror of racism. >> i was doing scary movies similar to doing comedy. >> great question. i mean, they're both -- for me they're about truth. if you're not accessing something that feels true, you're not doing it right. also the technique of them. have to be very tuned into the audience and their emotion. that's why with both forms, the technique is tension building and release. >> what is interesting about you from previous conversation with you, you wanted to be a film maker before you wanted to be a comedian. >> yes. >> comedy was an access to get going. >> i got sidetracked with an amazing fortunate comedy career. which was you know a joy. i spent ten years laughing, and, you know, but i had something else to say.

i had something, i think, a more important statement that i had to put in a long form. >> it's interesting that the story is about the black guy who goes to meet his white girlfriend's family and the horror that unfolds before with that. did the fact that you were married to a white woman. did that play into the story you were trying to tell. >> it's one of these like blink three times if you're in trouble questions. i wrote the movie before i met my wife. i can't claim it's about her and her family. >> she gets this. >> the in-laws are okay with this movie. >> in-laws are okay. they're cool. very fortunate. very lucky. i married a comedian. so she gets it and she's very cool. >> can i pick up on that. you were able to beautifully weave comedy into this movie as

well. new appreciation for tsa agents. how important was it to include comedy, obviously not taking away from the drama and the thriller that the movie really is. >> it's pretty important. i'm putting my audience through a lot with this movie. a lot of tension. a lot of uncomfortable situations. there are moments it's hard to watch. there are moments you want to scream get out. rod, his character was the release valve for the audience. it was important for me that he comes in and speaks the truth too. there's no line that is intended for -- there's no jokes in the movie. it's all meant to feel true. it's all meant to feel like the most true thriller we've seen so far. >> you address how people deal with racism in the country. one of the easiest lines to throw out is i voted for barack

stop me. >> has president obama seen it. >> i would like to think he has. i think to think he thinks it's pretty good. >> i think he would like it. >> i would have voted for me a third time as well. >> you would have won too. >> i would have won. >> something tells me he's seen it. >> i think so. i think so. he's hip. >> he's a nerd, but he's hip. >> jordan peele, thank you. congratulations. boy, i'm hoping we're all hoping oscar nomination for you. seriously. get out is on sale on dvd. catch jordan peele tonight on the late show with stephen colbert. >> stop by and see stephen. >> he came here first. >> reminder you can hear more of cbs this morning on the podcast. find interviews and podcast originals on apples podcast app.
