7:01 am
we'll talk with one of the nation's top disease fighting doctors. and pink and sheryl crow are just two of the women speaking out about the lack of female representation at this year's grammys. the outcry after the recording academy president said female artists have to step up to win more awards. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. this committee voted to put the president's personal interests above the national interest. >> republicans vote to release a secret memo alleging fbi bias. >> to make the case that this is the most shocking document in the history of man kind, i believe that's a little hyperbole. >> the white house says it has no part in the decision making process. >> many of us have been concerned about the highest level also of the fbi becoming too susceptible to politics and political influence. >> the russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a u.s. navy plane over the black sea. >> coming within five feet of
7:02 am
their plane. >> a radio host of a boston station suspended after he made a rude comment about tom brady's daughter. >> i certainly hope the guy's not fired, i would hate for that to happen. >> the official kickoff to super bowl week in minneapolis. it was hype and hoopla at its best. >> ooh! >> all that -- >> helicopters swoop in to save skiers who got stuck on a broken ski lift in austria. >> cleveland indians will remove the logo known as chief wahoo. >> they said we realize the mascot is offensive so we're going to wait a year and then get rid of it. >> on cbs this morning. >> busy weekend for me. i was hosting the 60th annual grammy awards in new york last night. of course bruno mars was the big winner. bruno and all of those seven guys won for writing song of the year. that's what i like. you're telling me, eight people sat down and wrote, i got a
7:03 am
what's happening? eight guys? that's what i like. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." i'm john dickerson with gayle king and norah o'donnell. beginning a day that ends with the state of the union. >> that's right, big day. >> a classified congressional memo that may undermine the russia investigation is now under review by white house lawyers. >> republicans on the house intelligence committee voted last night to make it public. this memo criticized the intelligence community's handling of covert surveillance and claims government agents targeted trump campaign officials. >> the party line vote to release it follows the departure of the fbi's deputy director andrew mccabe. he's been accused of bias by president trump. paula reid begins our coverage from capitol hill with the
7:04 am
response to that controversial memo. paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the justice department says releasing this memo would be extremely reckless. but republicans say that the memo shows abuse of surveillance power at the justice department. now, democrats are also weighing in, saying the vote to release this memo is politicizing the intelligence gathering process. >> when you read the memo, it's going to be pretty clear why democrats plar s and particular democratic party did not want it to come into the public light. >> reporter: republicans are encouraging the release of the four-page memo, now in the hands of the trump administration. it was written by house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes in who's a member of the trump transition team. in it, nunes alleges fbi misconduct. >> i was an informal, unpaid volunteer. >> reporter: among the fbi's targets, former national security adviser carter page. the fbi requested a classified surveillance warrant against page in 2016, after he traveled to russia earlier that year.
7:05 am
page was also mentioned in the now infamous dossier which includes allegations about president trump and russia. republicans say the memo shows abuse of power at the justice department. >> it's silly to talk about what's in a piece of paper and p as being relevant and not let the american people see it and judge it for themselves. >> reporter: fbi director wray and deputy attorney general rosenstein went to capitol hill earlier this month in an effort to persuade house speaker paul ryan not to release the memo. ryan reportedly denied the request. >> chairman nunes -- >> reporter: house leader nancy pelosi say republicans made up a memo to discredit the russia probe. >> they have crossed from dangerously and recklessly dealig with intelligence to a cover-up of an investigation that they don't want the american people to see come to fruition. >> reporter: in order to get a fisa warrant, the justice department only needs to show
7:06 am
probable cause. so a reasonable belief that carter page is working on behalf of the russian government. and we don't know if that request extends surveillance was even granted. what we do know is that memo is now at the white house. it was cure yeared over there last night. democrats are also asking questions about the sudden departure of the fbi's deputy director. andrew mccabe, also a former acting director, stepped down yesterday, just weeks before his scheduled retirement. fbi sources tell cbs news it was mccabe's decision. while a justice department source indicates he was told to leave. jeff pegues is outside fbi headquarters in washington with more on this story. jeff, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. for more than eight months, the fbi's number two has been the target of increasing criticism, not only for his role in the russia investigation but also overseeing the clinton private e-mail server investigation.
7:07 am
sources say within the last few days something changed inside the fbi that led to the abrupt departure of andrew mccabe. >> i worked very, very closely with director comey. >> reporter: deputy director andrew mccabe led the fbi's russia investigation when it began in 2016 and became the acting director of the bureau when president trump fired james comey. >> director comey enjoyed broad support within the fbi. >> reporter: but over the last several months, mccabe has become a lightning rod for critics. republicans on capitol hill and president trump have singled mccabe out after it was revealed his wife received almost $700,000 from democratic party sources in her unsuccessful bid for the virginia state senate. >> well, mccabe got more than $500,000 from essentially hillary clinton and is he investigating hillary clinton? >> reporter: mccabe led the fbi's investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails and his role in the probe is under review by
7:08 am
the doj inspector general. president trump has denied reports that he asked mccabe, who he voted for when mccabe became acting fbi director. >> did you ask who he voted for? >> you know -- >> did you ask, did you ask mccabe who he voted for? >> i don't think so. >> reporter: the president has been openly critical of the deputy director on twitter. mccabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. on monday, in an e-mail to the fbi workforce, director christopher wray mentioned the inspector general investigation, saying that he would hold people accountable. and that mccabe plans to take leave until his official retirement on march 18th. and so mccabe is leaving early and has been relieved of his duties. the white house says the president didn't have anything to do with it, but that he stands by his criticism of mccabe and his wife. >> all right, jeff pegues, thank you so much, for us in
7:09 am
washington. president trump goes to capitol hill tonight to deliver this year's state of the union address. will touch on trade, immigration and economic policy. the president is not expected to mention the russia investigation. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president trump's message to his supporters tonight, you were right to bet on me because the economy is improving and border security's at the center of the immigration debate. it's a message designed to fire up the base in hopes of keeping key republicans in control of congress. president trump said he will use his first state of the union address to do what most presidents have done, sell his accomplishments. >> we worked on it hard, covered a lot of territory, including our great success with the markets and with the tax cut. >> reporter: the trump white house also embraced another ritual, promising to speak to main street and strike a bipartisan tone. >> what is the nexus between what has happened and your own
7:10 am
life, and then how is that a framework for working together in 2018? >> reporter: the president will propose a tougher approach to trade. $1.7 trillion for infrastructure. and an immigration compromise, including $25 billion for a border wall and cuts to legal immigration, coupled with a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants known as dreamers. nearly a dozen house democrats will boycott the speech, undercutting the president's bipartisan message. >> this is an amazing moment. >> reporter: speechwriter and senior policy adviser stephen miller helped author the speech and it will reflect his belief that mr. trump is the leader of a global populist movement. >> president trump's the most gifted politician of our time and he's the best orator to hold that office in generations. >> reporter: the democrats have selected massachusetts congressman joseph kennedy iii to give the official party response. but in a sign of party diversity, republicans suggest its divisions.
7:11 am
there will be four unofficial responses directed to various democratic constituencies. >> major, thank you. dan senor is a former adviser to house speaker paul ryan. he spoke with trump administration officials and gop members of congress about what we can expect from tonight's state of the union. good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> the white house is saying this is an opportunity to unify the country. but how can that be when his day to day rhetoric is so divisive? >> they argue, the white house argues and members of congress i spoke to say look, he's got a pretty good record. if you strip away the tweets, if you strip away the noise, if you strip away the volatile behavior, tax reform, stock market at record highs, decimating isis, what they believe is progress in dealing with iran. declaring jerusalem the capital of israel. there's a series of very presidential successes here that they are going to tout. and they believe, look, this could be the beginning of the re-election campaign for the house republican majority, which
7:12 am
state of the unions often are, and that's, you know, that's the message they want to convey today. >> dan, the tension in this white house has been despite it is a chiefments, the president often undermines his own success with the public, that's why his approval ratings are low. so in a state of the union, do you think, or are they worried that he in a between beforehand or afterwards or some other thing changes the story immediately before the state of the union has a chance to settle? >> the day before the state of the union, they're running around touting all these successes they'll highlight in the speech. then a name who's not a household name. take rodney, a republican member of congress from new jersey, 12-term, chairman of the appropriations committee. members of congress spend their lives trying to become chairman. ness first term as chairman of the house aprpropriations committee, he just announced he's not running for re-election. that tells you where the member's heads are at. they think they are running into
7:13 am
real headwinds. so the president has these successes to tout. and he could deliver a good speech tonight. as he did a year ago. as he did in davos last week. but to your point if there's so many noise and so much friction and so much sort of corrosiveness in the public -- the public debate and the dialogue, it doesn't matter. >> yes, timing is everything. let's talk about the possible release of the controversial intelligence memo. the democrats are calling it reckless. you've talked to some of the republicans. >> yes. >> why do they think it's important this memo be released? >> basically, the republicans i've spoken to, who are not of the devin nunes group, the pointy end of the spear, revealing some sort of cover-up, that's not -- most systems who are neutral but broadly sympathetic to the president argue, look, in comey's fbi, there was unprofessionalism. there was inappropriate behavior and actions. in fact, it's the basis for this fisa warrant request, which funded opposition research, that
7:14 am
should be exposed, discussed. maybe different people's positions should be changed in the organization. >> but on the other hand -- >> -- but that doesn't negate whatever bob mueller's working on now. if mulleller identified real wrg doing in area, of collusion, area, of money laundering, areas of obstruction of justice, it won't matter what inappropriate things were done at the fbi 18 months ago. so these issues are in sort of parallel tracks, but they're not directly connected. >> both things could be true. >> just to clarify, that memo is called the nunes memo because it is written by republicans, it is cherry picked, the democrats say. >> exactly right, that's what the democrats argue. >> thank you, dan. >> dan will be a part of our cbs news coverage of the president's state of the union address beginning tonight at 6:00 pacific time here on cbs. norah, gayle and i will lead the coverage from new york. while jeff glor anchors from washington. our entire political team will provide reporting and analysis. a virginia's boy among the

7:16 am
woke up and found him unresponsive. >> he was -- >> reporter: a medical examiner is determining kevin's exact cause of death. the flu would make it virginia's first pediatric death from the virus this year. at least 19 states have reported at least one pediatric death related to the virus this season. children are just a fraction of the thousands of flu patients inundating hospitals nationwide. atlanta's grady hospital has seen as much as a 25% increase in overall emergency room visits so far this year. grady's chief of emergency medicine, dr. hany atallah said the hospital called on an emergency department based 50 miles away to tackle the increasing demand. >> 500-plus patients a day, you physically need a space to put a patient in. this is going to help solve that. >> reporter: carolina's health care system, which owns the mobile hospital, expects it will be here for at least the next 30
7:17 am
days. doctors will begin using it today. >> manuel, thank you. a boston radio station apologized after a host insulted the 5-year-old daughter of patriots quarterback tom brady. weei indefinitely suspended alex reimer and said, quote, his remarks were utterly indefensible. jamie yuccas spoke to brady about the controversy. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the controversy threatened to overshadow the super bowl opening night festivities. but when i talked to tom brady last night about the comments, he was willing to extend somewhat of an olive branch to the man who ridiculed his young daughter. >> sometimes we say things that we shouldn't say or we make mistakes and that's happened and i can express it and you move on so -- >> you're going to put it behind you? >> yes, life's too short. >> reporter: during the annual super bowl media day event, tom brady said he didn't want to see alex reimer fired over his
7:18 am
comments. hours earlier, during his regular monday morning segment on weei, the patriots star quarterback was in no mood to talk. >> i'll obviously evaluate whether i want to come on this show again, so i really don't have much to say this morning. maybe i'll speak with you guys some other time. >> absolutely fine, we understand. >> have a good day. >> all right, tom, you too. >> reporter: brady was upset by what reimer said thursday about his daughter vivian who appears in his new facebook show tom versus time. >> daddy. >> i'm going to watch. >> i thought the first scene was so staged. his kid's being an annoying little pissant. >> i understand that, you know, criticism is part of sports but i certainly don't think that, you know, my children or any other children, you know, really deserve to be in that. >> reporter: brady had plenty of support from his teammates and opponent's alike. >> any child in the media should be off limits. >> kids, they don't really -- you know, that situation, doesn't have a chance to defend themselves. >> i think for a lot of us on
7:19 am
this team if it wasn't for our families, we wouldn't care to be here playing football. >> reporter: in a statement, the statement said mean-spirited commentary directed in any way at children is wholly inappropriate. we deeply regret what happened and offer our sincerest apologies. just a day before reimer made those comment, brady signed a multiyear extension of his contract to appear weekly on weei. we reached out to reimer and have not heard back. >> all right, jamie, thank you. voters are showing advice for president trump before his first state of the good morning. some areas have patchy dense fog but other than that, a gorgeous morning and this afternoon will be nice. temperatures warmer with more sunshine and 71 for the high in

7:31 am
cut manufacturing orders for its $1,000 iphone 10 in half. apple is due to release its first quarter earnings later this week. facebook says it will prioritize local news on users' feeds. ceo mark zuckerberg said the change comes after requests for more local news. last week the company said it would promote news from broadly trusted sources. critics have blamed facebook for allowing hate speech and so-called fake news to spread on their platform. in anticipation of tonight's state of the union, we wanted to get some voters' reviews of president trump's first year. we spoke with five voters in the orlando area of florida. a key battleground state. they range in age from 21 to 70 years old. three voted for donald trump in the 2016 election. two vote for hillary clinton. our conversation touched on a range of issues including the economy and immigration. we also spoke about how political and racial divisions are impacting the country.
7:32 am
angela, with a word or phrase, the state of the eunice -- >> excellent when it comes to financial, the economy. our jobs are improving and everything. we need to work a little on the social problems that we're having. >> an order or phrase of the state of the union is -- >> superb. >> bold and beautiful. >> so-so. >> sure, the economy's getting better, it seems. but the economy is not the only thing we have to look at when we're describing the country as a whole. the racial tensions are increasing among whites and blacks. health care is a crisis in this country. we've got the opioid crisis. i don't think ultimately as a whole the country is doing any better than it was. >> president trump appealed in his rallies to kind of regular america, not the fat cats. do you think that's played out in his policies, say, for example, with the tax cut? >> absolutely. >> all of you agree? >> i agree. >> i think it is currently, that's the way it's looking, and that's the way it's going to be for a couple of years. one thing i got to remember is these cuts in ten years for the
7:33 am
average person go away. and for businesses, they stay. that, we'll have to wait and see. >> daniel, what could the president do to take advantage of his opportunity at the state of the union? >> what i think he could do is really dig in to the fact that the economy is doing so well and how many jobs he's bringing back. i think he can capitalize on the fact that he's putting more money in american people's pockets, and he will win more people over. >> whether the president's contributing or not, is talking about the economy enough in a country where all of you have identified some parts of the american fabric that are in danger? >> i'm not sure, but i do think over time people will see the light as soon as they see a bigger paycheck. it will start to make them, you know, rethink things. i think that's good. >> i don't think money necessarily makes happiness. like sure, somebody's going to end up with more money in their paycheck every month. at the same time, when you face such systemic oppression --
7:34 am
especially in above -- in impoverished communities, i don't think the money will offset that. >> what can president trump do to improve in terms of race relations? >> he's got to be unifying. his language is a little bit divisive. remind us that we're all americans. you know, we all share common values. we all want to see each other succeed. feed off that. >> one individual, my wife is black. she has no problems with him. there are a lot of black americans that are in favor of donald trump because they see that when the boat raises, they'll be raised along with it. >> the thing that i notice about him, he's unfiltered, and he's real. that's what i like. i would like to see him work on toning it down. >> what exactly should he tone down? >> just some of the verbiage that he uses in his twitter account, you know. sometimes it is cringe-worthy. he should be a little bit more presidential acting. >> daniel, when the president
7:35 am
once said, with the exception of the late, great abraham lincoln, i can be more presidential than any president that has ever held office. do you think that's true? >> you know, i don't think that's true now. in the past i think he was playing to the crowd when he said that. but i'd like to see him become more presidential. it's one of my biggest qualms with him is that, you know, at times he comes across as childish and petty. >> larry, what gives you hope in america? >> well, i hope that we can come together and not tear the country apart. what's important is we're all americans, and we need to -- we really do need to make america great. but we're never going to do it as long as we've got leadership who constantly tear down the other side or degrade some other people. i just hope that someday we can become one. but i don't know if that's possible. but i hope it is. >> is the president behaving in
7:36 am
the way you just described? >> no, he's not. he's not acting that way. and the sad part about it is i think donald trump has an excellent opportunity right here. if he would get his rhetoric under control and start thinking about everybody else instead of himself, i think that he can make a big difference. >> mark, if you were to finish this sentence with a word or phrase, america needs to be more -- >> accepting. just accepting. i accept devi even though she's a rabid -- i don't know rabid, but a liberal. yeah. i'm fine with that because she's entitled to her opinion, and that's great. these two have given me hope. young people who look at the world, and they want to change it for the better. that gives me hope. >> we'll have more from our
7:37 am
focus group in the next hour. the voters will share their assessment of the president's record on issues such as immigration and national security. >> what's really interesting to hear, everybody's different -- it was nice, civil conversation, as well. yeah. >> was there anybody in the group, john, that started feeling one way about the president but then changed? >> lots of them. mark in the blue shirt in the middle said he thought the president was a clown when he first saw him. he over time started to feel -- take him more seriously, voted for him, and felt more secure with his policy. even devi, who voted for hillary clinton, is not likely to vote for trump ever again, said to her fellow liberals "we should have taken him more seriously and should take him more seriously now." they had all gone through an evolution in their thinking. >> everybody keeps saying we wish he would act more presidential, yet they still say he's doing a good job. >> that's the interesting thing teeing up for tonight. they accept that the economy is doing well, but that's not even enough for the most ardent supporters in that group.

8:01 am
departure of andrew mccabe. >> president trump's message to his supporters tonight. you will right to bet on me because the economy is improving and border security is at the center of the immigration debate. >> this is actually a mobile hospital. it was built primarily for disasters but even georgia's largest hospital is having to use it to keep up with this flu season. >> the controversy threatened to overshadow the super bowl opening night festivities. tom brady is willing to extend somewhat of an olive branch to the man who ridiculed his young daughter. >> somehow he sneaks on to the floor wearing a pelicans warmup gear and thinks he's going to blend right in to the fellows. >> what's he supposed to do? >> security comes and escorts him back to the seat. >> and don't you do that again the security guy says. % i'm norah o'donnell with
8:02 am
john dickerson and gayle king. good morning. a controversial memo claiming the fbi targeted the trump campaign could be released within a week. the house intelligence committee voted along party lines last night to make the classified memo public. it was written by the committee's republican chairman. >> the memo criticizes how the fbi and intelligence community handled covert surveillance of trump campaign advisers. the memo has been brought to the white house. the president has five days to decide whether to make it public. the justice department says releasing such a memo is quote, extraordinarily reckless. >> president trump delivers his first state of the union address tonight. he will highlight the accomplishments of his first year in office including the tax cut that congress approved just last month. he's also expected to lay out this year's agenda including a $1.7 trillion infrastructure plan and a deal on immigration. the president and first lady have invited 15 guests. they include a factory worker who the president says will benefit from tax reform and

8:04 am
across the aisle, have a bipartisan agreement on these things and get the country moving. >> your election was dicey there, senator jones, we're very happy as norah and john said to of you here. what do you need to hear from the president to unify the country? what exactly does he need to say? >> i don't think he needs to just draw a line in the dust and say it's my way or the highway. what he needs to do is to try to lay out his goals, lay out some specifics of what he wants to do. i think there's a lot of areas both in immigration as well as infrastructure and some of the other things that the president wants to move forward that i think democrats and republicans alike would embrace. the question is one of tone. a tone is going to be very important for him to try to reach out to democrats and republicans alike, to try to make sure that we are working together and this is not just a fight. it's just not a battle between one faction or another but something that we can do as americans. >> let me ask you then about substance, because the president is expected to talk tonight about immigration as well as infrastructure and on the issue
8:05 am
of immigration, the white house has proposed a generous proposal in terms of a pathway to citizenship for some almost 2 million d.r.e.a.m.ers but at the same time wants a lot of money, $25 billion for some type of border security. would you support that? >> well, i'm going to look at that. obviously everyone wants to increase security on the borders, what that exactly looks like and how much it's going to cost is going to be the details that we really haven't seen from the government. at this point, you know, $25 billion say lot of money during the campaign, the president talked about building a wall but he said mexico will pay for it. now we know it's going to be the american public that's going to pay for it. we have to be careful. we have to be smart with our money. the president has laid out goals and objectives that need to be put on the table and discussed. i think the democrats are going to have that. other republicans are going to have something. i'm very optimistic about an immigration plan going forward. >> senator, would you give us your sense of your party exactly
8:06 am
on this question of immigration. your making reasonable sounding views here about listening to what the president has to say. there are a lot of senators in your party who don't want to do a deal with this president. so can you straighten this out here on exactly what the receptivity is going to be to this offer from the president? >> sure. i don't think it's a question of doing a deal with this president. you're not going to see that at all. they want to get an immigration deal done. obviously daca and the d.r.e.a.m.ers are very important but border security is also important to democrats. the details are going to be something that have to be worked out. we have to look at what's -- some people call chain migration, other people call family reunification. all of those are going to be issues. what i'm hoping we can do is focus on the two most important pillars of immigration right now which is the daca issue as well as border security. i think there can be broad consensus on those two pillars. >> you voted with the republicans for the spending deal despite not having a deal on daca. how and why did you decide to vote against your own party? >> i don't think i voted against
8:07 am
my own party in particular. there were other democrats that voted like i did. i had to do a different equation. i campaigned a lot on the child health insurance program, chip, that was an important part of my campaign. it's important to my state where 150,000 kids were getting pink slips for their health care. that was very important that we were funding chip for six years. alabama also would have been hurt a lot by shutdown in the government. we have a lot of federal dollars that come in. i looked at the whole picture. i was not happy to be honest with you, i don't think continuing resolutions are a way to fund the government. we need to get back to regular order where we do a budget and have that. i had to make a decision and i felt like keeping the government opened and funding chip was the right way to go. >> all right, senator jones. the night of your election you said this was a fulfillment of a lifelong dream. you still feel that, sir? >> absolutely. it's just amazing. i've told folks to have walked off that senate floor as a

people who are especially close to putin or especially corrupt. the u.s. treasury spells out that being on the list does not mean that sanctions will necessarily follow so the question everybody here is asking, what exactly is it for? john? >> elizabeth palmer in moscow, thanks. the white house says they don't need to implement sanctions because moscow is being deterred. the cia director says moscow is still interfering in american elections. they're not being deterred. >> what the cia also say they're not be helpful with north korea either. a wisconsin father is using an ad in today's "the washington post" to push police to reopen their investigation into his son's death. 48 hours correspondent

reenactment, the officer who fired the shot, alberto gonzalez, said he was positioned to the left of bell and couldn't see if bell had a gun. >> it helps to come back here? >> right now i'm emotional, and i'm really feeling it. >> reporter: bell's dad disputes that account. this photo recreates what bell thinks happened based on those witnesses at the scene. it shows that gonzalez was positioned between bell and straubaugh, and, in fact, the autopsy shows bell was shot on the right side of his head. not the left. bell's attorneys confronted the officers with the evidence and pre-trial deposition. >> is it still your testimony under oath that officer gonzalez had his gun pressed against the left side of michael bell's head when he shot? >> yes. >> you found out that what the police are saying couldn't have happened. >> never. >> because of the medical evidence. >> that's right. because of the medical examiner's report. >> reporter: just days before

the case is going to trial, the city settled the case for $1.75 million. still not satisfied, bell hired russell beckman, a retired kenosha police detective to take a closer look at what might have happened the morning bell jr. was shot. >> there was a scuffle. >> it was right here upon this car. >> beckman discovered something that appears to have either been missed or ignored in the original police investigation. a broken mirror at the center of the police scuffle. he demonstrated his theory using an unloaded gun and a police holster similar to the one officer strau sba ugh was wearing. >> the gun comes in contact with the mirror and gets caught in the jacket gap. >> bell now believes it was the mirror, not his son, tugging at officer strausbaugh's belt. when he asked officials to take a new look, he got nowhere. michael gravely, the kenosha county district attorney, says
8:21 am
the chances of bringing charges against any of the officers has passed. >> i think the simplest explanation here is that officers were candid at the beginning of this process. i hope that officer strausbaugh would have reported if his holster had been popped. >> more than 13 years after his son's death, this former military pilot still soldiers on. >> nobody understands what it takes to get to this level to bring this kind of awareness to it. the best way to describe it is it's my duty. >> bell may not get a new independent review, but others will. because of a billboard campaign that he conducted, wisconsin is now the only state that requires an independent investigation after a police shooting. a law that he believes should be enacted nationwide. i just want to make one other point. it's not just the families of the person shot who suffer. so do the officers involved. in 2010 the officer who said
8:22 am
bell had been tugging at his gun, eric strausbaugh took his own life. we reached out to the police department, but no one there responded to our request for comment. >> it's heartbreaking all the way around, but you feel for the family when you have the police officers saying, you know, i know he was shot on the left side, but the physical evidence shows he was clearly shot on the right. >> they all really -- they stuck with it, and i don't think you would have that large of -- at that time it was a very large settlement if, in fact, they thought they could win in court. >> okay. erin, thanks. >> thank you. the battalions over immigration was one big reason behind the recent government shutdown. ahead, our focus group discusses so-called dreamers and president trump's proposed border wall. you're watching cbs this morning.

♪ welcome back to cbs this morning. let's start first in the greenroom. this is a really big job promoting racial harmony. there's one person in agreement who is taking it on. she's 13 years old. hello marley diaz. she's here and will joan us at the table. she's already a best-selling author. she's going to join -- at 13 i was trying to get barbie's doll house. thank you, marley. see you in just a second. >> right now it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "new york times" reports amazon brookshire hathaway and jp morgan are teaming up to disrupt health care. they announced today they would form an independent health care company to serve their employees in the united states.
8:31 am
they want simplified high quality health care at a reasonable cost. they said it would be "free from profit-making incentives and constraints." >> love to see that leadership there. >> we'll see if it goes to other parts of the health care sector. the "wall street journal" reports americans are saving less as the good times roll. the savings rate was 2.4% of disposable household income in december. that's a 12-year low. soaring stock prices and good job prospects have sent americans off on a u.s. spending splurge. feeling kflt, consumers are taking vacations and tapping into their retirement accounts or expenses. >> this is national plan your vacation day. they have a plan your day -- vacation day. a something day every day of the week. other day was pancake day. plan your vacation, people. and the hollywood reporter says tom hanks is the real thing. tom hanks is set to play mr. rogers in an upcoming movie. we like this casting.
8:32 am
hanks will portrait fred rogers in the bio-pic "you are my friend." it will focus on the friendship of the host of mr. rogers neighborhood and journalist tom juneau. fred rogers died back in 2003. he was 74. >> excited to see that, actually. >> me too. health workers face a huge challenge trying to contain this season's flu outbreak. it is the most widespread in recent years with at least 37 child deaths reported so far. the biggest clusters are in the south and west. dr. anthony fouche is the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. he is part of the effort to fight future outbreaks. he joins us from the headquarters of the national snu institutes of health in bethesda, maryland. always good to see you. >> good morning. >> first, let me ask you this, why is this year's virus so deadly? >> well, there are a couple of reasons.
8:33 am
the h3-n2, the particular influenza a. it's historically a bad actor. whenever you have this virus, this type of virus dominating, you generally see a bad season, and you generally have more complications, particularly among the vulnerable people in bhom complications are more common, such as the elderly, such as individuals with underlying conditions as well as children from birth to 4 years old. also, as we know, the vaccine this year, although it's always best to get vac sin alted is not the perfect vaccine. it's not fly in the case that we only don't know right now what it's going to be, but it likely is not going to be much more than around 30%. i say that with some trepidation because i don't want people not to get vaccinated.
8:34 am
it's better than no protection at all. a combination of a vaccine that doesn't work very well and a really bad virus. >> given that combination -- the first thing you can do, getting back to vaccinated. if, in fact, you do get infected, if you have what looks like it's going to be a serious infection, don't hez hate to get to a health care provider that can get you an anti-influenza, anti-viral like tamiflu. this is true for people who fall into the risk categories where complications are common. if you have an underlying disease, you should not wait to get anti-flu medications. >> you know, one of the interesting things in reading about everything that you write about, dr. fouche, is it's been 100 years since that lethal 1918
8:35 am
flu, and you are saying there could be one virus that could be catastrophic. why can't we get a universal vaccine to protect us? >> sometimes when you get a pandemic, there's a shift, a major change. this is so different from other important viruses like measles. the measles i got as a child is the same measles that's in the vaccine that we vaccinated my children with. you don't have to worry about that change. what we're fighting against is trying to get a vaccine that would induce a response against that part of the virus that doesn't change from season to season or with a pandemic. we refer to that as a universal flu vaccine. only relatively recently have we been able to get an insight to understand what part of that virus actually doesn't change
8:36 am
very much from year to year and now how can we induce with a vaccine a response that would be dominant against that particular part of the virus because the vaccines we make now when they protect you, they make a response that's a good response, but it happens to be against that part of the virus that tends to drift because of mutations from year to year. >> okay. dr. fouche, thanks for being with us. immigration will be a focus of president trump's state of the union address. it comes on the heels of the president's plan to protect so-called dreamer immigrants from deportation while increasing border zusecurity. it's an important issue to the five orlando area voters we spoke with ahead of mr. trump's speech. the group ranged from liberal to conservative in ideology and spanned from -- we poke spoke about the need tore a border wall and the challenges the president faces overseas. debbie, you voted for hillary clinton. you aren't a fan of donald trump. do you expect him in this next year to be able to address some of the issues that you have with
8:37 am
his presidency? >> the most forefront issue right now is daca in terms of immigration. he has put a clock on congress to figure out a resolution for daca recipients. congress isn't coming up with anything. >> my husband is an immigrant. my parents and my siblings are immigrants. they came from canada and england respectively. if you want to come to the united states, i'm all for it. i'm all for bringing people in. we are a nation of immigrants. i want people to come here legally. apply for the resident alien green card. go through the path to citizenship. >> the citizen process takes more than ten years, and some people don't have the luxury of that time. some people are fleeing their country due to civil war conflict in their country. >> my family is from the middle east. you know, we vote primarily republican, small business owners. i agree the laws aren't fair and it takes way too long to apply
8:38 am
to be a citizen in this country, but i don't think saying the laws are unfair are a good nuf excuse to justify illegal immigration. that supersedes the people on the wait list and are trying to come to this country and do it the right way. >> what do you think is on the president's mind in terms of driving his presidency? what do you think? >> right now i do think he is very focused on the border wall, as he has been since, you know, he announced his candidacy. >> when you say pay for it, it doesn't really have to be monetarily. there could be something of value that could be utilized from out of mexico. it could be a win-win for both of our countries. >> do you feel safer with donald trump as president? >> absolutely. >> what's your feeling about north korea? >> i think north korea is crazy.
8:39 am
the man is crazy, but he pulls any kind of stunt, he is going to get flaterned. >> what does that mean, get flattened? >> we will retaliate. i would rather be diplomatic. >> i think north korea is actually a good litmus test for how well trump is doing because, you know, it's weird, but on the same issue, he is at polar opposite ends. on one hand he is insulting, you know, north korean leader on twitter. on the other hand, you have the south korean president who is coming out and saying, you know, we give our gratitude and we're thankful for donald trump for bringing north korea back to the talking table. it's just amazing to me how he can be -- >> trump is crazy like a fox. >> very. >> the other thing, he scares people who aren't american and don't understand the nuances of the language. all they see is a lunatic crazy man who they can't figure out. that keeps them on their heels, i believe. >> debbie, what's your feeling ab the national security under the trump presidency? >> angela mentioned diplomacy. i don't think that president trump is capable of diplomacy.
8:40 am
you know, he is insulting world leaders on twitter without a second thought. >> diplomacy is overblown. look, we've had diplomatic endeavors to solve the middle east crisis for 30 years now. longer than that. nothing has been accomplished. just diplomacy is a bunch of mealy-mouthed people in my opinion. >> those in the state department would differ with that. >> right. >> is mealy-mouthed bad, john? >> i believe that is. >> those that are on the frontlines certainly hope that diplomacy works before they get deployed. >> or before it gets to that path they were talking about with the military. >> i love so much their passion about their feelings. it shows you when you go to people and ask them what do you think, they have lots to say, and they articulate it very, very well. >> yeah. also, it often doesn't fit right into the boxes. >> right. >> i always good to get out. >> cbs news coverage of the state of the union begins tonight at 8:00 central, 6:00 pacific. jeff glor with anchor from

♪ perfect song for activist marley dias. she's an author, public speaker, and the youngest member of "forbes" 30 under 30 this year, and she's not even in high school yet. wow. slacker. at the age of 10, marley started a campaign called #1000blackgirlbooks. she was frustrated because she hadn't read books in school featuring black main characters. she set out to collect books featuring characters that look like her. she succeeded big time. more than ten times over. marley received and donated more than 11,000 books. remember, she was just trying to get 1,000 at the time. she's now 13. she's got a new book called "marley's eyes gets it done, and so can you," by sharing her own journey, she hopes to encourage others to become activists. marley joins us at the table.
8:46 am
welcome. >> thank you. >> i remember we were blown away -- remember, norah, you were a little girl raising books. we thought, she's going places. ava duverney wrote this, "she's a beautiful brew of kindness, confidence and curiosity." >> thank you. i appreciate that. i got to meet her through all the events i've done with "elle" and got to be an editor in residence for them. i wanted to write things that expressed the experiences of girls. i had to -- i had an interview with her and was so lucky to get to ask questions like what were her favorite books as a teenager and who inspired her, and why she decided to be a director even though she was a publicist originally. >> that's how she started. she nailed it about you. she didn't say you were a tbn, which is a -- a total book nerd -- >> thank you. i appreciate that. i try -- >> that's in your book. i didn't make it up. >> i try to block words. i don't want people calling me things. in the book i talk about how i'm a perfect mix of everything, and so is everybody else. if you like reading, you are
8:47 am
allowed to like to dance and sing and to like to act. even though i wear glasses, i'm not just a mousy person who stays in my room even though i do sometimes. stays in my room and reads. >> your campaign about racial harmony, what is it that you're seeing that's disturbing you that you said "i got to do something"? >> the biggest thing that disturbs me are the social structures and infrastructures in schools and communities that are pushing away from the intersectionality of being a black person and a woman and a girl, and they're not including all of us. but they're thinking that because you're black and a woman we are trying to create a system that supports you, but they're not thinking of that point of intersection between the two where i'm a mix of both. we need to include me in both of those realities and not just one or the other. >> what about your friends in terms of this racial harmony now? >> i have a very diverse group of friends. and i feel like in school we try to be open with each other about whether or not we feel like we -- someone made a joke that was not appropriate or we feel like we were saying something that was not an educated response to a question. which i know makes us sound like we're really p.c., whatever,
8:48 am
like this. we have a lot of fun together. we try to keep it loose because not every conversation is going to have perfect knowledge with things that we say. we want to always stay educated on the things that are happening in our community and the communities that surround us. >> what are some of the things and advice you give in terms of being an activist? >> i think the biggest thing is that success is not measured by whether or not you're on "cbs this morning" or whether or not you make the local news station -- >> wait a second, marley. wait a second -- >> depending on your career -- >> step back. >> i will revert. i mean, it's not measured by the things, the places that you go and materialistic things but by the people that you touch and the places you're servicing. i'm servicing black girls and servicing educators and all kids to see the beauty and diversity of people, but i want to make sure that everyone knows that when you help that one person or when you give back your full energy, are you helping somebody just as much as i am. >> where does your confidence come from at this stage? i'm thinking, she's got no
8:49 am
notes, no nothing. this is you talking because you do have a confident way about you. where does it come from, this desire to improve, be better, and spread this message to others? >> i think the biggest thing, where my passionateness comes from, i love reading. it's something that i care about. it's not like i'm talking about football or basketball or dancing. things that i enjoy, but i'm not necessarily -- not my favorite things. i try to say with kids you always, even if you're in the middle about things you like, pick the stuff that you know you can go on and go on and keep going and keep going. it's so much more important to continue with that. you'll feel so much more joy in the things that you do. >> you said the most important thing in the title is "marley gets it done and so can you," with "you" being the most important word. >> yes, i feel confidence in something that's important. >> thank you. appreciate it. congratulations on this book. it is available on line. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪
