7:12 am
however you value american politics. he's tack an inrisk on moore. he's got a hunch that moore is going to win. he doesn't like to lose. he lost in the primary. he doesn't want two straight losses in a big trump state like alabama. he wants to defy his daughter, defy the other republicans -- >> defy his daughter? >> she gave comments that could be interpreted as hostile to roy moore's campaign and be out there and if roy moore wins, say you're with me, i'm with you and i need your vote in the senate. >> she's said a special circle in hell. >> it's in that atmosphere. >> so mitch mcconnell has a very different position than the president. what does he want? >> well, let's just say there's a huge if around this election result. i don't know how much we can put into the polls. i think the turnout modelling into every post trump election is going to be brand-new. but if roy moore wins, just to be cynical for a moment if it's a big win, he's safer. if it's a very narrow win, he's much more in jeopardy. if he wins, he faces an
7:13 am
immediate ethics investigation. that's not my words. that's mitch mcconnell words. >> soon here on the show. >> stigma and isolation. all those things are very tough to begin a senate career with. but he's a vote from the republican side. he's a pro trump vote. and mitch mcconnell will be wary of going up against the trump white house, if moore wins, because he will have the most important political defender in america, the president. >> it will be interesting. they keep saying all along let the people of alabama decide. let's talk about the tax bill. is this the bill that president trump says he wants to have it done by christmas? a, do you think he can do that? is this the bill he promised while he was on the campaign trail? >> it's not the bill he promised on the campaign trail. the most important aspect of this conversation right now, gayle, if you'd asked republicans in the white house last week, they would have said 95% certainty we're going to get this done. i'm told now those projections are about 65%. why? the house and senate negotiators, republicans all, are digging in their heels for their own bills. and they don't know what the
7:14 am
compromise looks like. they don't know where the votes are. this week coming ahead is vital to this issue. the ability of republicans to govern and what remains of the trump agenda. >> all right, thanks, major. >> thank you. >> some of the women who accuse president trump of sexual abuse will hold a news conference this morning demanding an investigation. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley says women who have accused the president should be heard. >> we heard from them prior to the election and i think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up. >> speaking on face the nation yesterday, haley also said president trump was courageous for recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital. >> i sat there with my mouth open. were you surprised she said what she did? >> i was surprised because it raises a series of questions for the president who she works for. >> made the front page of "the new york times" today. >> it opens another door. this morn, israel's prime

7:16 am
chance. >> jerusalem has been the capital of israel for the last 70 years. i think what president trump has done is put facts squarely on the table. >> reporter: arab league foreign ministers over the weekend denounced mr. trump's decision, saying it pushed the region to more violence. what do you think about the president trump's decision? >> well, he made the right decision. the question is, was the timing and the circumstances right. >> reporter: veteran israeli diplomat alom pinkes was chief of staff to four foreign ministers. he worry ms. tru he worries mr. trump's move could make the region more volatile. >> talking at length about the deal of the century and the peace process to end all peace processes. i haven't seen that. it's like the loch ness peace process. >> reporter: and now we have official confirmation from the white house that the palestinians have pulled out of a meeting scheduled between vice president mike pence and mahmoud abbas, the palestinian
7:17 am
president. that meeting is officially canceled. norah. >> seth doane in jerusalem, thank you. a serial killer sentenced to life in prison says there are more victims than the seven he confessed to killing. todd kohlhepp was convicted of murdering calla brown and seven other people in carolina. revealed an eight-page letter from him where he states there are more victims. he also wrote, quote, i tried to tell investigators and i did tell the fbi but it was blown off. cala brown says during her two months in captivity he spoke about his other killings. the nfl faces new questions about its concussion policy after houston's quarterback went out to play with a head injury. during the second quarter play, his helmet slammed into the turf. the video shows him shaking as he tried to get up. after a few minutes on the sideline, the texans put him back in to the game for one

7:36 am
one of the best officers that i could be. >> it's the most unfortunate thing. you go there because you want to protect your country, and they don't protect you. >> do you regret reporting the assault? >> i regret it every day. i regret it every day because of everything that came after.

7:38 am
a lot of them file what are called sort of private reports that then become made public, and so they face that amongst their cadets and colleagues and additional harassment, which is why some of them leave the academy. >> amazing work, norah. >> to hear the person say, all i want to do is serve my country. now because of these jerks, she's leaving and they get to succeed. >> that is not right. it's wrong. >> makes no sense. an 11-year-old tearful's description of being bullied at school is getting nationwide attention. >> why do they bully? what's the point of it? why do you find joy? >> if you have time, please stay to see this story ahead. how millions of people, including celebrities and athletes, are supporting this little middle schooler and starting a whole new conversation about bullying today. and we invite you to subscribe to our "cbs this morning" podcast. you'll get the news of the day, extended interview, and podcast originals. get them all on itunes and

>> however mr. shelby said yesterday he could not vote for a fell low republican roy moore. >> he went on television to say that. >> does that mean there could be a group of republicans who either death vote or don't vote for roy moore? >> absolutely. and richard shelby went on television. he didn't do that in passing or do it at the bus stop or something. that was deliberate. hello, alabama, i'm not satisfied, perhaps you shouldn't be either and i'm giving you sanctions to the degree i can. >> it's going to be interesting to watch what republicans show up to vote tomorrow. secondly how many republicans decide to go the way of richard shelby or how many are going to listen to donald trump who's touting roy moore. roy moore wants this to be about donald trump because right now he's more popular than roy moore. >> democrats want it to be about

moore also. they're waiting for this moment to grab it, using what they did with al franken in the senate. >> what's more disqualifying, being a democrat or roy moore? >> they've shown you cannot always believe the polls shoo he would say that a hundred times a day. >> let's talk about it. % >> let's talk about it. >> this is the thing that struck me, major and steve. major, i have never heard you laugh as much and as heartily as i heard you on the takeout. it's very fun but how did it come out? >> after the election i wanted to create another space for my journalism and your journalism. people take this in in a longer format and stay with it. >> i heard you call it therapy. >> it is therapy for me? >> what do you mean? what do you mean? >> there's a false compression. you have a 20-minute interview

jodie foster's career in hollywood spans five decades but she's still a baby. she had hit shows. she won two academy awards for films. she sits in the director's chair for the latest project. it's the emmy winning netflix series called "black mirror." it's a science fiction modern series off twilight zone. a mother turns to new surveillance technology to keep her daut're is safe. >> you had a recommendation. you'll be part of a trial
8:44 am
period. >> it will be tested though. it's not like a guinea pig. >> it's perfectly safe. >> we're getting feedback on which features our customers use most in the real world. the response so far is just incredible. sense of security, peace of mind. >> the stories we're hearing, they're truly inspirational. >> okay. then. >> oh, just to part where they're going to do it. we welcome jodie foster to studio 57. hello, jodie foster. should we say jodie "bloody" foster in there. they said, there's no way. you agreed because why? >> it's an amazing show and a beautiful episode. i worked for netflix before and, you know, it is kind of like working for god when you work for netflix.
8:45 am
>> is n"black mirror" something you had been watching? >> i didn't know anything about it. i was bemoaning the state of the movie business and saying i really wanted to do feature-length films on streaming. so this is the way to go. >> well, describe what you were talking about there, that scene we just missed, the technology. >> there is a device. you know, i want people to watch it. so i can't tell you much more about it. there's a device that allows you to keep your child safe. >> that's not really telling much about it. >> i've always thought about this, whether you could implant something in them in order to monitor them. most parents i know, too, use the find their phone to locate them, the idea of surveilling or keeping track of your kids. >> everything in "black mirror," technology is really a reflection of our own mess up psychology and the technology itself is benign.
8:46 am
it doesn't have feelings. it just does what we ask it to do. unfortunately it highlights the crazy dynamics and psychology of our family life. >> and like parenting, the tighter you control, like a bar of soap it squeezes out of your hand. >> you start with the child from the beginning from the time she's born and you follow her until the end of her adolescence and there's something, you know -- you feel possessive of her and you feel possessive of that life. there's a part of you that wants to take care of her and also to handicap her and stop her growth. >> so it's a mother and a daughter. that's not soiling anything. we see that. how was that different -- they say you raise daughters and you let sons grow up. is that part of the dynamic? could it have worked with a mother and son? >> it would have been a different movie. my first movie i directed was about a little man tate. it's a different relationship, fascinating to explore, but very different. >> you have two boys. >> i have two boys but i was
8:47 am
raised by a single mom. our relationship was fraught. it was interesting. she worked my whole life. when we pulled apart, that struggle was very difficult. >> what they said about you, you didn't just do it, you also became very edge gauged in the process. you were phoning in notes, i think we ought do this. is that how you normally handle directing, jodie? you go all in? >> yeah. >> they know what they're getting when they get you. >> certainly with features. the fascinating thing about it unlike television where directors are brought on very soon before the product and they're sort of accomplishing the tone of the film, the tone of the series, with black mirror, they're small indy films, so brand-new cast members, brand-new crew members. you make a decision about everything. >> how is the crete ittive commitment different with acting versus directing? >> it's polar opposite.
8:48 am
it's complete commitment. i do both. one part of me likes to play characters that aren't me i ask questions. as a director, it's just the opposite. you're always saying who am i. and that's really what a director does. >> jodie, what's your take on the "me too" movement and the latest revelations that started with harvey weinstein. i thought jane rosenthal said it best. she said pandora's box is open and pandora is pissed. as we sit here, what do you think? >> i'm not a sound bite person. i'm an hours person. i like to talk about things for hours. i'm not good at 140 characters. i feel like it's a complicated issue and it is a watershed moment. it is an amazing moment in time and, you know, in order do it justice, i think we need a bigger dialogue and a much more complicated dialogue.
8:49 am
but this time is necessary and i'm really looking forward to what happens next like all social justice movements. i think we're all looking forward to how we can heal and we want to hear the other side as well and we want to hear in order to really change things. justice by twitter is not the right way to go. >> it cease good. >> it's so interesting you say that. i used the word "reckoning" on the air and i've been thinking about it. at some point there has to be reconciliation. >> if we look at what happened after partied, that's such an amazing idea that desmond tutu had. we needed it after civil rights, we needed that after slashry. we needed that after official social justice movements. i'm looking forward to that. i'm happy to go to davos and start that. >> thank you, jodie foster. always good to have you. a new
