7:13 am
jan, good morning. >> good morning, jeff. winfrey's longtime partner stedman graham started all this when he told the "l.a. times" on sunday that she would absolutely run, but ultimately it was up to the people. since then, people on both sides of the aisle have weighed in. >> i, for one, would love to hear that the state of the union is strooong! >> reporter: from late-night television. >> -- give a lot of stuff away. you get health insurance! you get health insurance! >> reporter: to washington. >> i think she's a real leader and i think her voice is powerful. >> reporter: even across party lines. >> i'd like to sit down with her and help her if i could. >> you want to run, you ought to run. >> reporter: oprah winfrey's speech at sunday night's golden globes kicked off a whirlwind of speculation. >> a new day is on the horizon! >> reporter: it's not the first time her name has been linked to presidential politics. >> oprah, i love oprah, oprah would always be my first choice. >> reporter: nearly 20 years ago, it was donald trump who floated the idea of oprah as vp.
7:14 am
>> i tell you, she's really a great woman. she's a terrific woman. >> reporter: and he praised her as recently as 2015. >> she's great. she's talented. she's a friend of mine. she's a good person. >> reporter: but on monday, the idea of winfrey as an opponent had a white house spokesperson saying simply we welcome the challenge. some fellow republicans agreed. >> i think -- >> no one commands the kind of attention that oprah commands. >> reporter: bill burton worked for then senator obama when winfrey's endorsement helped propel him to the 2008 democratic nomination. >> i'm here to tell you, iowa, he is the one. >> she is going to have to build a campaign. she's going to have to take on what will likely be a large diversion talented field of democratic candidates. >> reporter winfrey has said trump's election may have changed the equation. >> i thought, oh, gee, i don't have the experience. i don't know enough. i don't know. now i'm thinking, oh. >> reporter: a few months later on "cbs this morning" she appeared to shut the door. >> you can be safe with that.
7:15 am
there will be no running for office of any kind for me. >> reporter: now, that interview back in october was just one of many times that winfrey has insisted that she has no interest in running for president. in fact, gayle has even said she would bet her first-born child that oprah would never run. so, gayle. >> stop talking, jan. just stop it, jan. my first born daughter, as you know, favorite daughter kirby, she went, hey, mom, don't do it. it is a very interesting conversation. >> first and second born children? >> yes, yes. >> i thought that's what it was. >> that's right. >> what about what stedman said? >> i do think that's interesting because stedman says that he thought the reporter said to him would she make a good president and he said absolutely, she would. that's how he interpreted the question. because this is the thing. stedman would never so cavalierly say absolutely she would do it. it's up to the people. he would never do that. i got e-mails from people yesterday. i got e-mails from people
7:16 am
yesterday that said is stedman being strategic or supportive. he is nothing but supportive. he would never just throw it out there like that. what were you going to say? >> i'm going to ask you the same tough question i ask guests on the show. in fact, stead man did say, she would absolutely do it, it's up to the people. that's what he said. >> he did say it is up to the people. but i'm telling you, his interpretation of the question was -- he thought the reporter was saying would she be a good president. >> okay, is she considering it? >> no, i absolutely don't think her position has changed. i don't. you know, i was up talking to her very late last night. i do think this, though, guys. i do think she's intrigued by the idea. i do think that. i also know that after years of watching the oprah show you always have the right to change your mind. i don't think at this point she's actually considering it. but listen there are people who said they want to be her campaign manager, who want to quit their jobs and campaign for her. she loves this country. and would like to be of service in some way. but i don't think that she is
7:17 am
actively -- >> for the record, that is -- >> -- i don't think she's actively considering it at this time. >> that's a change we heard from october -- >> it's not a change from her. it's a change from me. >> fair enough. >> so let me ask you, who wrote the speech? >> listen, oprah crafted that speech. she knew how she wanted to start. this was the thing for her. she knew exactly what she wanted to say and she knew how she wanted to say it. she crafted the speech. she talked to an editor at the magazine. and the two of them came up with it. but oprah put down exactly what she wanted to say. those were all her words. you know, listen, she writes her what i know for sure column every week, every month in the magazine. she's a very good writer. we all know she's a very good talker. and so i think that it was a home run on many levels. i thought -- being in that room, i will say this, being in that room was electrifying. it was the right person giving the right speech at the right time. she wanted that moment to be more than women wearing black dresses of solidarity. she really did want to speak to young girls around the country. she really did want to say
7:18 am
enough already. i think she delivered on all that. in a very eloquent way. will she run for president? i think it's a very intriguing idea. myself. >> if someone were to potentially run for president what do you think their time line might be? >> i don't know, jeff, i'm just looking at this. yes, she can, noprah. i don't think there's such a thing as a time line. i'm not trying to be cute here or be mysterious. but i do think it's a very intriguing thing. that she had never considered. people said, owe, yeh, yeah, she that speech as a launching pad. that's not true. she worked on it. she practiced it. i was a practice ought yeaudien member. i knew the speech was going to be powerful. before when she was there at rehearsal, they told her she had to cut three minutes out of it because it was six minutes long. they said you have to cut it to three minutes. oprah said if it was any other night than this one, i can do
7:19 am
that, but i don't plan on cutting it. as it turned out with all the applause it went nine minutes. i think they were very -- i think the producers thought, you know, that was worth going late for. >> wow. well, i'm flat glad to have you. >> i'm glad to be back. no matter what happen, i will be at "cbs this morning." a nationwide shortage of investment bags forcing some hospitals to take extraordinary measures. ahead, we'll take you to massachusetts general hospital to see how nurses are being forced to after more than three inches of rainfall across san francisco in 24 hours, now we're seeing clouds and scattered showers out there. most of the rain is to the east. and it looks like it's all going to be winding down this afternoon. afternoon highs are going to be very similar to the morning temperatures. mid- to upper 50s. this means we're finally about average, where we should be, temperaturewise. now, what's next? showers likely on wednesday.

8:04 am
that may be an uphill battle because republicans say democrats are holding out on an agreement with daca, the obama-era prevention of those coming to america as children from being deported. the president said he will do that but only if democrats support his campaign pledge to build a border wall. he says he still believes mexico will ultimately pay for the wall, but in the meantime, he's asking congress for $18 billion to fund it, along with related border security provisions. yesterday in tennessee, mr. trump also pledged to end a visa lottery system and shut down a program that allows immigrants to bring their family members along with them. now, today, vice president mike pence will be on capitol hill working this issue here. here at the white house, the president will welcome a bipartisan group of lawmakers. >> margaret, thank you. north korea says it will send athletes to the winter olympics in south korea next month.
8:05 am
diplomats made that deal overnight during talks in the korean demilitarized zone, the first between the two countries in more than two years. the south is asking the north to march together at the olympics' opening and closing ceremonies. >> north korean leader kim jong-un wants to be part of the winter games, but he has not shown any interest in negotiating over his nuclear program. today's talks lasted for several hours and both sides agreed to hold future military discussions, but it's unclear what else they can agree on and how the negotiations will affect the u.s. retired admiral sandy winnefeld, cbs news military analyst is with us. he was vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff from 2011 through 2015. before that, he led the military command responsible for preventing air attacks on north america. admiral, good morning. thank you for joining us. >> good morning, gayle, norah and jeff. good to see you in the new year. >> oh, good to see you, good to see you. explain the significance of this.
8:06 am
>> you know, these two nations each came to the table desperately wanting one thing in the near term. on north korea's part, they desperately wanted the legitimacy that's conferred by participating in the olympic movement. it would have been enormously humiliating for them, had the olympic spectacle been going on right across the border, and they were not participating. and it feeds their message of, you know, we may have nuclear weapons, but we're a normal nation and should be treated like that. on the south's part, they desperately would like to have a disturbance-free games. and even more importantly, they would like to not have participating nations scale back their athletes' participation out of concern for what might happen during the games. so, they each came. when you have two parties come to the table and they desperately want something for different reasons, it's really easy to reach an agreement. >> which leads to the question, admiral, are they just doing this now so they can have sort of a safe and happy games, and then the tension immediately returns right after?
8:07 am
>> you know, negotiators are always looking for a hook. they're looking for something to break the ice, and there is maybe a little ray of sunshine here that this might lead to something else, but i would be very cautious about irrational exuberance here. the military exercises, for example, were postponed, canceled. we still have two leaders that like to taunt each other and we still have a north korea with a long history of manipulating negotiations like this. >> now, president trump has said that the talks would not have happened between the two countries without his tough stance. do you think he helped contribute to this? >> you know, i don't want to take anything away from the administration, but i do not believe that north korea came to the table because they were intimidated or dragged to the table. they came with a very specific purpose in mind, and that is to regain some legitimacy out there in the real world, to avoid the humiliation of not participating in the games, and in the process, possibly cut in a little bit to the resolve that the international community might have towards future sanctions. >> so, what do you think u.s. officials will be looking for most closely as these two sides
8:08 am
communicate with each other? >> well, of course, everybody will be parsing every single word that is said during these negotiations. they'll be choppy, people coming in and out of the room and the like, and people will be very interested in the responses north korea gives when asked about the potential for future negotiations regarding the nuclear program or other military matters. got to be careful not to read too much into what the other side says, but that will be very, very closely examined. >> admiral, when i was in south korea earlier this year and spoke with president moon, he had talked about that, he wants to sit knee to knee with kim jong-un to have these bilateral talks. the concern that some experts have raised, however, is that while that's happening, though, the north will use that time to continue to build up their missile and nuclear capability. is our intelligence good enough to know what they're doing? >> well, you know, looking into north korea is looking through a glass darklet.
8:09 am
it's a very opaque country. it's very difficult to get intelligence there. we have known for some time, because the intelligence community told us, that north korea's interested in developing a strategic nuclear weapons program, and we reacted accordingly. so, there are no real big surprises there. the only surprises are little timing things, maybe they do things a little faster than we had expected, but i wouldn't call that intelligence imperfection, not intelligence failure. we've known they've wanted this program for a long time. >> admiral, thank you very much for your time. >> you're very welcome. thank you. alabama's the king of college football again after a stunning come-from-behind victory in the national title game. >> tagovailoa tries to make up for it, fires to the end zone, touchdown! alabama wins! >> on second and 26, the crimson tide captured its fifth championship in nine years last night in atlanta. they beat georgia in the final play of the game to win 26-23 in overtime. freshman quarterback tua

would by me actually grabbing the controllers or stabbing at the brakes. it might seemed crazy a couple of years ago, the way we're going now with connected technologies in cars, this isn't that nutty. it could be used for safety, it could be used for things like getting a more sporty feel out of a car when you're in the mood. and nissan is deadly serious about testing with this. it's cool. >> this has become one of the new places to announce the big auto news, right? >> yes, it absolutely has. it's interesting because the giant detroit auto show is coming immediately after this one wraps up next week. and, yeah, you're seeing a biforindication here. if you're showing off a new model or an amazing new power train electrification, that's probably going to happen at the traditional auto show. there's a lot of blurring and i'll be honest with you. it's a blood battle between the two franchises. >> we've been hearing about digital assistance in the bathrooms. and gayle and i have been

8:45 am
personally, i know them. >> what's the story you wanted to tell about your city? >> i just really wanted to say that you know, it's not a jungle, hool gans with no hearts and no souls. they're born with the same amount of hope and joys every other little baby in the world and i think, you know, sometimes circumstances and things can affect their lives and choices they make, but i wanted to show that we're all human. >> the idea too that statistics and perhaps what we show in the media dehumanizes these stories. >> absolutely. it does and i think particularly especially with african american men they're so dehumanized and the problem is you become desensitized to our deaths and that's problematic and for me i wanted to show the humanity behind the headlines because the next time you hear a story or a zatistic about a young black boy being shot and killed maybe it won't be background noise. >> that's what i liked about it because it shows that really good people can make really bad
8:46 am
decisions in a split second and it changes your life. >> yeah. >> but you have been working on this for two to three years and when you pitched it i understand it didn't go so well. >> well, look, i know the shy is not the most commercial thing. you know, i know it's a protagonist story. it's a character study and i think sometimes that's difficult to see particularly when it's people of color and i think sometimes they wonder, what's the hook? are they singing to get out of the hood? are they drug kingpins? >> are they athletes. >> are they playing basketball, you know, and look, at the end of the day, i understand all that, but sometimes it's just middle class, you know, folks trying to get to work every day, trying to raise their kid, trying to get to church with they can. i wanted to show that sense of normalcy because i don't think you see people of color in that kind of way and i wanted to show that. >> i know you were reading a lot of james bald win and what ideas did that give you? i find when i read certain
8:47 am
things it sparks your mind in a whole different way. >> i'm always reading baldwin. i was introduced to him very young and the thing about his word he speaks in such beautiful prose and he speaks so honestly. i could just see the people, i could -- you know, i could smell them, i could hear them and i realized i wanted to do that in my script. >> how long had you been thinking about doing something like this? >> you know, i never thought i would write about chicago and i definitely never thought i'd write a drama. everything before that was comedoic and i know people who know me from nashville nun and all that stuff. i think they might be surprised but i also want to show the range that i have. some singers want to show what you can do and as a writer i think for me when i was seeing all these news stories about chicago i got a little frustrated and i wanted to express myself through art.
8:48 am
>> and you did that. the golden globes, i'm curious as a person who also delivered a speech that were talking about, your reaction to oprah's speech. >> i think i was really, really blown away and a big reason is because, you know, i know what she spoke about when she was talking about. i was in high school and i remember seeing that speech and i can still quote it. tonight this door has been opened. i mean, i could relate so much to that and to see how that has an impact on her life and that moment and for me, some young girl saying me on the emmy stage may have meant something for them it's extremely important for us to be at these award ceremonies. it means so much to these young kids, you know, out watching saying like oh, well, if she did that, then maybe i can do it too. >> people are looking and saying i want to be like lena waithe who by the way, started as a
