treatment for nearly a year. >> as the only nonmedical victim to come forward, i testified to let the world know you are a repulsive liar. >> this is what it looks like when institutions create a culture where a predator can flourish unafraid and unabated. >> sexual abuse is so much more than a disturbing physical act. it changes the trajectory of a victim's life and that's something no one has a right to do. >> children are worth everything, every protection the law can offer. >> little girls don't stay little forever. they grow into strong women that return to destroy your world. >> rachael denhollander and kyle stephens are with us along with dr. jon lapook who's covered the nassar case and joins us at the table. welcome. >> so glad you're joining us. this is very important, very serious. rachael, i want to start with you. the judge said you're the bravest person who ever entered her courtroom. she was very clear on how she

felt. she said she wouldn't even allow him to treat her dogs. i want to know what made you come forward all those years ago? what did you know was wrong or what did you think was wrong? >> there were a few times that nassar crossed the line that i was certain was sexual assault, but at that age i was very convinced this was not something that could ever be done quietly. an anonymous voice wouldn't be enough. nassar was backed by two very powerful institutions. i was aware of the dynamics of sexual assault, that there's never only one victim. it was something he was doing regularly. that was clear. so it was unthinkable that there were not other victims who had come forward and who had been silenced. i was right. women had been raising the alarm for years before i walked in larry's door and had been sill edgesed. it was not until we were able to put the public pressure on both of those institutions to take the allegations seriously and have the others come forward and stop him. >> kyle, you also began raising concerns about larry nassar. he was a family friend. >> yeah.

i didn't know there were other victims. i worried there were, but because i was perpetrated in a setting where i didn't know that there was the potential for that, when you're a patient, obviously there's tons of more female patients. >> who did you report his behavior to? >> i reported his behavior to my parents, and my parents reported toyota a michigan state doctor and professor. >> did your parents believe you at first? >> no, they didn't. i didn't disclose all of the details of my abuse. it's obviously very uncomfortable. my parents thought it was strange what i was saying and they chose not to believe me. >> rachel, given how uncomfortable it is to go through these details, what was it like to hear so many people testify in that courtroom? >> it was empowering and it was beautiful to see so many women reclaiming their voice, but it was also incredibly heartbreaking because the vast majority of us did not need to be there. had those first reports to msu,

had the complaints to the coach been taken seriously, the vast majority of victims would not have been in that courtroom. >> that's one of the most troubling things. you have been strong girls and women from the beginning reporting this behavior, but it's been the silence of people in power that allowed it to continue. is usa gymnastics, how did they allow him to prey on other gymnasts? >> usa gymnastic is really an organization rotting from the inside out. they created a culture of physical, psychological, and mental abuse. they also had a policy of not reporting sexual predators. at the time i was being abusd up until i came forward and some of this corruption began to be revealed, they would systematically file the reports in a file cabinet. when you have a culture that's abusive and you have a policy of not creating sexual abuse, you have created the perfect dynamic for a predator to be able to flourish. >> we sould say usa gymnastics

did real -- release a statement. they say the highest priority is the safety, health, and well being of our athletes. >> that's unsupported. >> absolutely. director penny testified under oath at one point and actually defended this policy of not reporting sexual abuse because he said he didn't want to, quote, perform a witch hunt. when they view reporters as witch hunters, it tells you everything you need to know about coming forward. >> he gets 175 years. is that enough? more people should pay the price. we have to point out sally jenkins, amazing article in the "washington post." i encourage everyone to read it. you see how this has gone on for years. should more people or do you believe more people should pay other than larry nassar? >> there absolutely has to be accountability. if we don't institute accountability, if we don't learn from the mistakes that were made and make it clear that the price for making these mistakes are going to be very severe, we're just going to keep repeating this

cycle of abuse. >> jon, what's the most egregious to you in this case? >> all of it. this is a good time for me to be listening, but i would say this occurred on a cultural canvas that has a huge problem. it's estimated 60,000 children are abused every year and a third of them are under the age of 12. so we need to do a lot of work, a lot of homework, and this needs much further investigation. >> the fact that it happened repeatedly is what i can't get over. that so many people knew about it and allowed it to continue for many years. >> the institutions are diseased. they need to recognize they're diseased. that's part of the problem. up until this week, they have been refusing to recognize what's going on in their ranks. they need to clean house. >> what did you think of larry nassar's statement saying these are fabrications and these are

women scorned. >> he's a master manipulator. >> you addressed the court, turned to the right to return, and you shot nassar a look that could have melted iron. what was going through your head? >> i wanted him to know that it was done. it was finished. >> and that you were both still standing. we thank you very much for coming. >> thank you. >> realize you have unleashed a tsunami of change. >> i hope so. >> i hope so. >> i believe so, too, norah. thank you all. a nearly year long investigation by congress reveals how your letter carrier may be delivering deadly opioids to your house. ahead, we'll go to capitol hill to find out how the postal service is being overwhelmed by illegal drug shipments from china. and we invite you to subscribe to our "cbs this morning" podcast. you'll get news of the day, extended interviews and podcasts originals, too. find them all on apple's ipod apps. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. apps.

>> the problem is the po box in america that gets the shipment through the postal service straight from china. >> reporter: for years ron portman and a team of investigators have tracked the deadly delivery of door-to-door opioids. it starts with a google search with retailers eager to make a deal. all must go until 1st of july. is a hot sale added another. senator portman's team never bought any drugs but they used shipping and payment data to track nearly 500 successful deliveries of open point nationwide. the deal totaled nearly a quarter of a million. in each case the country was china and the method of service was the u.s. postal service. >> there's no requirement to tip off law enforcement. >> reporter: they're supposed to work with customs and border

diseased, refusing to recognize what's going on in their ranks. and they need to cleanous. >> the president's message here will be that the u.s. is open for business and urged ceos to invest in america. >> many of the 23 jurisdictions arguing that the trump administration's actions are un-american. >> federal health officials have seen a rapid increase in flu activity and the end of the outbreak is months away. >> investigators haven't released any motive. the shooter facing two counts of murder and 12 counts of first degree assault. >> illinois senator tammy duckworth set to become the first senator ever to give birth while in office. this is amazing. yes. [ applause ] now, of course, governors have given birth while in office before, including the governors of massachusetts and california. i feel like that should have been a bigger story. >> i'm norah eye donl with john dickerson and gayle king.

michigan state university president lou anna simon is resigning now that lara nassar faces the rest of his life in prison. judge rosemarie aquilina sentenced the former usa gymnastics doctor up to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing young athletes. >> she apologized and said, quote, as tragedies are politicized blame is inevitable as president it is only natural i am the focus of this anger. many are praising the judge for supporting 150 women who spoke of their abuse during the sentencing hearing. >> it's interesting to me that your name is sterling. you have a sterling voice of truth. you are a sterling power of strength that will not be pulled down. you're not just taking down this predator but other predators. you started the tidal wave.

you made all of this happen. you made all of these voices matter. you're sister survivors and i thank you. you are the bravest person i have ever had in my courtroom. >> you just saw rachel at the table last hour before handing down the sentence judge aquilina read part of the letter nassar wrote to her. >> now they are seeking the media attention and financial rewards. and i want you to know, that as much as it was my honor and privilege to hear the sister survivors, it is my honor and privilege to sentence you because, sir, you do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again. >> after the sentencing gold medal winning u.s. gymnast simone biles who said she was sexually abused by nassar, to the judge, aquilina you are my hero.

>> president trump is in davos for meetings at the world economic forum. the white house says his goal there is to encourage foreign investment in the u.s. he will give the conference's keynote address tomorrow. before he left washington the president dweetsed he plans to, quote, tell the world how great america is and is doing. our economy is now booming and with all i am doing will only get better. margaret brennan is in davos with details of the president's agenda. good morning. >> good morning. the president's first meeting here in davos was with uk prime minister theresa may and he told reporters that the special relationship between the two countries is still strong and he wanted to dis pell what he called the false rumor that they don't get along. now there have been a number of awkward encounters over the past year but remember back in november it was the president who blasted may on twitter accusing her of not focusing enough on terrorism. now later he held a very friendly meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who praised the

president for the recent recognition of jerusalem as the political capital of israel. mr. trump also promised to open a new u.s. embassy there by next year. he then blasted palestinian leaders who were upset with that decision and threatened to withhold further u.s. aid. the real purpose of president trump's visit here to davos is to put a business friendly face on his america first message, and he's going to meet privately with european ceos tonight to urge them to invest in america and tout recent success at lowering the corporate tax rate down to 21%. >> margaret brennan in davos thank you. president trump is willing to take an oath when he talks to special counsel robert mueller. his interview for the russia investigation is likely to happen in two or three weeks if his lawyers are okay with that. paula reid at the justice department. good morning. what else do we know about the format of this potential interview? >> we know it's still being worked out.

whether this will be in person, in writing, or some combination of the two. when the president speaks with investigators he's not actually under oath. he would only go under oath if he's asked to testify before the grand jury. the other big question that a lot of people have is, will this be recorded. the president made a big deal about the fact that secretary clinton's interview with the fbi was not recorded. and while there's nothing preventing a camera from being in the room, it's unlikely that his lawyers will want that. it's interesting in my reporting on the president and his other legal issues, when you read depositions that he's done, he's the consummate executive, not the man that you sometimes see on twitter or in the campaign trail. he answers the questions, he sticks to the script. but it's possible if you introduce a camera into the situation, he might get something different. >> paula, what do we know about what would happen to whatever the transcripts, audio recording or whatever happens to record this moment, will that be locked tight or will the public ever get to see it? >> it's unlikely his interview with investigators would be made public unless it was leaked.

if he is called to testify before a grand jury it would be up to the court whether or not to release that testimony. of course that famous video of president clinton that is his grand jury testimony that they worked out a deal where that would be recorded so he didn't have to come to court. it's interesting i was reading the law this morning and one of the reasons that the judge can use to release a video or transcript of grand jury testimony is if the subject of the interview talks to the press. >> lots of information there, paula reid. thank you very much. the next generation to retire may not be ready when the time comes. jill schlesinger is here in studio 57. there she is in the green room. with simple ways for members of generation x and others to build their nest egg it's called. ahead what debts to pay off and how much to put aside. bu

maybe run even a calculation and see how much you have to do, but really, the key here is to start, start early and a little bit at a time. and also recognize this, the longer you work, the better off all of this really does end up. meaning that i know everyone is, i want to retire early, but if you look at retiring say instead of at 62, extend that by four years, you will have a third better lifestyle in retirement. working longer works. with a caveat. you can't count on working because maybe your boss doesn't want you or you can't physically do it. we want you to save, but also consider with a life expectancy a little bit longer these days, to keep working. >> so i'm in jen x and you are telling me i have to work more. >> yes. >> thanks, jill. the other thing isn't everybody always worried about retirement? >> absolutely. >> only if you're on easy street do you think got it ready i'm done. >> even if you are on easy street there are other things making you nutty. the reality is we are concerned about retirement and yet every

survey we look at shows that, in fact, we're worried about retirement, but we don't do anything about it. the reason we don't because wir' scared of stepping on the scale to use the diet analogy and the reality is, for most people, again, doing a little bit, meaning auto enroll in your 401(k) and try to do maybe one percent the extra every year, at the most you possibly can, doesn't have to be the max, but you can put $18,500 into your 401(k), do the best you can. you don't have to max out this minute. but you have to try to get there. >> when it comes to debts what should you pay off now and how much do you think you need to put aside? it varies depending on your lifestyle. >> the number one priority is customer debt, or auto loans, that have higher interest rate, start highest go to lowest interest rate. the emergency reserve fund. that emergency reserve fund should be anywhere from 6 to 12 months. i know what you're going to say, too hard to do 6 to 12 months.
