story. >> incredibly sad. thank you. president trump returns to the white house today after a brief overnight stay at his mar-a-lago resort in florida. awaiting the president in washington are questions about his stance on gun control. this week he called for tougher gun laws and also expressed his support for the national rifle association. >> the president's shifting priorities on gun reform bewildered lawmakers with some calling it a performance and comparing it to a reality tv show. nicki batiste at the white house. good morning. >> good morning. the president said he supports measures on gun control then met with nra and changed his tune. the president's stance has lawmakers scratching their head. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is putting the gun debate on hold. >> this not a popular things to say in terms of the nra, but i'm saying it anyway. >> meeting with a group of bipartisan lawmakers at the white house earlier this week president trump called for a

comprehensive gun control package that would include tougher background checks and raise the minimum age to buy assault weapons to 21. he also said authorities should be able to seize weapons without a court order. >> take the guns first, go through due process. >> the tough stance from mr. trump on guns left democrats bewildered and some lawmakers confused. >> i don't know yet whether that was just a performance or whether that is actually the new position of the white house. >> just one day later, the president met with leaders of the national rifle association. after the meeting, the nra chief lobbyist tweeted mr. trump and vice president pence support strong due process and don't want gun control. the president then tweeted saying he had a good, parenthesis great meeting with the oval office and nra on gun reform. white house secretary sarah

sanders said the. >> translator: -- said the president is committed to the second amendment. >> continue to work with congress to create legislation we think can help improve this system. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer told cbs news dealing with the president on this issue is like negotiating with jello because his positions always change. >> the president is once again backing off because the hard right, in this case the nra, is questioning him. >> schumer questioned the president's leemp saying mr. trump says the right thing with news cameras in the room then weakens after pressure from special interest groups. >> when nra says jump and he answers how high and totally reverses his position, that's bad for america. >> sources tell "cbs this morning" president trump called republican senator john cornyn the same night he met with nra to reiterate support for stronger background checks. anthony. >> nicki batiste at the white house. joining us with a deeper look, national political reporter for

bloomberg news. good morning. >> good morning. >> if the lawmakers in washington are confused by the president, what are we supposed to make of the possibility of gun reform. >> it's baffleing a lot of members of congress, democrats and republicans, as the president went out there and took a position for gun control against politics in his party. what most people are thinking -- republicans at least, stay in a holding policy, don't go against policy, the president is mercurial, he's shifted before, you don't know, as jeff flake put it, it's going to be the tuesday trump or thursday trump. he has ability to influence on the party given his position with the party base. immigration, he moved away from that after showing an intent to compromise at first and now on guns. >> immigration and gun reform, high-profile meetings but legislatively do you expect anything to be done? >> unlikely there are no other

two issues they want to avoid than immigration and gun control as congressional primaries coming up with an electorate that doesn't want to face these issues. we're looking at congress that wants to keep the shutdown, no catastrophic votes. >> meanwhile some major personnel changes at the white house this week and potential at well. let's talk about hope hicks as well. very close to the president. how does this affect the president nf it's. >> it's momentous change. she's one of the few people in the white house close to the inner circle, who has been with the president before he was in politics, private sector in new york, throughout the campaign, inauguration and rose to communications director at the white house practically by default because people kept getting pushed out or leaving one way or the other. tess are big shoes to feel. unlike most people in the trump

orbit she was above the fray in a circle defined by leaking and backstabbing and all sorts of -- >> chaos. >> nasty chaos. >> speaking of inner circle, those in and out, a dramatic conflict publicly between the president and his attorney general jeff sessions. what do you make of that? this is the first time we've seen jeff sessions push back on the president. >> absolutely right. i think jeff sessions is standing up for himself after a barrage of twitter attacks from the president that's gone on throughout the year. highly unusual to see that, the president feuding with his own cabinet. >> what about the president's son-in-law, jared kushner, whose top security clearance, he lost it this week. at the same time there's questions about his business relationships, and there are rumors of him fighting with mr. kelly as well. is he at risk? >> certainly dark days for the president's son-in-law. a dark week. he lost presidential clearance.

he's in the cross-hairs of special counsel bob mueller. we've learned foreign governments are looking at ways to manipulate him as a result of complex business dealings with the foam. his status i think is probably more tenuous than it's been. again, family members have a special place in the president's orbit. i suspect if he wants to stick around he'll find a way. >> chaos having practical implications in terms of u.s. foreign policy, issues like trade. the president announced tariffs on steel and aluminum industry came as a shock to most of his own advisers including gary cohn. what can we learn from this sahil? >> a few things. it was certainly abrupt the way it came about. no internal government review, no diplomatic strategy, no communication strategy to sell this and explain it but nobody should be surprised he should do it. trade protection and closed borders are perhaps one consistency of donald trump's world view. >> but his own advisers did not

believe he was there on this issue yet up until this week, right? >> that's why we should take from this that president trump only listens to himself on trade. there is a division in the white house. most members of his party, leadership in congress are not in favor of this. the most interesting thing is there's a threat of retaliation from the eu companies they are going after harley davidson and bourbon whiskey. >> we'll be talking more about those implications coming up. thank you. >> thank you. >> tomorrow morning on "face the nation" on cbs, margaret brennan's guests will include joe manchin, lindsey graham of south carolina and peter navarro, director of the white house national trade council. the man often described as america's pastor has been laid to rest. president trump, vice president pence and their wives were among 2,000 mourners who gathered

under a large white tent in charlotte, north carolina, friday for the funeral of reverend billy graham. the son franklin spoke of his father's love for the family and assured his parishioners the preacher and his father were one in the same. >> the billy graham that the world saw in the big stadiums was the same billy graham that we saw at home. there weren't two billy grahams. >> graham was buried next to his wife ruth who died in 2007. the reverend billy graham was 99 years old. time to show you some of this morning's headlines.

rounds." our look at medical news for the week. according to the centers for disease control, more than one third of american adults are considered to be obese. a new study out this week from the american medical association's cardiology journal examined the link between body mass index and cardiovascular disease. it's a topic that's generated some controversy due to the theory of what's called the obesity paradox. we're joined from los angeles by cbs news medical contributor dr. david agus. doc, good morning. what is the obesity paradox.

>> good morning, alex. the idea that people who are obese live longer than people who are lower wachlkt this is one of a large studies. 190,000 people that debunked that myth. >> so, doctor, what did the study show about the relationship between bmi and cardiovascular health. >> body mass index, your weight and height in terms of a figure. what it showed is people who are obese, that is the largest bmis, they lived two to three years shorter and they had dramatically higher rates of heart disease. people who are just overweight, not yet overbees, they had more heart disease but lived just as long as the people who were normal weight. i think the important thing is when you have heart disease, significant heart disease, your quality of life goes down. and so even if you live the same being overweight and normal weight, the quality of life was different. >> so there is not so much of a paradox when it comes to

obesity, is that right? >> no question about it. being significantly increases your risk of cancer and heart disease and decreases quality of life and now we can say that number's two to three years from the city of over 190,000 people. >> all right. you heard it here. it's been solved. our next topic deals with the ongoing research in the relationship between diet and cancer. a new study this week in the clinical of oncology looked at the role of nuts in colon cancer survival. >> it was an observational study involving 826 patients all with stage three colon cancer. they reported what they ate after being treated with surgery and chemo tharmpy. they were followed for an average of 6 1/2 years. the study looked at the association of nut consumption with cancer recurrence and death. did it make a difference? >> yes. people overweight and higher insulin levels had a shorter

survival with colon cancer. in this study nuts, predominantly tree nuts, can lower insulin. we know it can lower diabetes, and gave larger survival with colon cancer. it's important to note it's not a random ietzed study. they did questionnaires and two servings a week of nuts had this significant benefit. >> okay. you mention tree nuts. can you give us some specifics on exactly what kind of nuts those are. >> damnit, i thought you were going to ask that. it's almonds, hazelnuts, chestnuts. it's avoiding the peanuts and ground nuts. the oils lower the insulin. people say i don't want to eat nuts because they contain fats but they turn out to be good fats. >> david, should we expect more relationship between diet and cancer? >> listen, if this study show as survival advantage to eating nuts, i hope so. the hope is we can do real randomized studies.

in this case, eating nuts isn't that difficult, two servings a week. you may do it even though there's not a randomized study to show this because of the data we talked about. that being said, we want to do random ietzed studies with food going forward. in many cases it's as important as it says. >> i can go eat more cashews. >> almonds. finally hitching a ride to and from a doctor's office can be problematic but this week the ride-hailing company uber announced uber health. through an online dashboard doctor's office staff can schedule rides for patients. they can even schedule a ride for up to 30 days in advance. patients don't even need a smartphone or the app to use it as huber will text them with information or call on a landline if the patient doesn't have a cell phone.

it's also hipaa compliant. >> 3 million doctors' visits were missed last year because they couldn't get a ride. that could increase their health by showing up. there's a dashboard so the doctor or hospital orders the car and they can watch where the patient is and as soon is that get there, hopefully the patient will be seen. it's an impressive way to improve efficiency in health care and for people dwhoenlt get rides. >> and to get your reluctant loved ones to finally see their doctor. dr. david agus, thank you for rising early to be with us. >> thank you. i appreciate it. controversies are clouding college basketball as march madness is about to tip off. sports business and law expert andrew brandt is here. we'll find out if the landscape of college sports and amateur athletics is about to change forever. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday". ♪

it shows you the lengths that agents and college recruiters and college coaches will go to get these top 17- and 18-year-olds because they bring so much to the program. they bring winning. bringing brings notoriety and that brings money. the business of colleges depends on the young, young players. >> where are we on this? we've been talking about this for a long time. people have been saying for a long time about college sports. ultimately you take this away if you just pay the athletes. is that even the table here? >> a lot of things going on here as mark emmert talked about. how do you govern this? listen. i'm at villanova. we have 25 sports. one makes money. that's college basketball, men's college basketball. we have this whole panoply. maybe the ncaa is the right gov answer model for that, but when

we get to big-time college basketball and football, we talk about the stakes involved. maybe there's another governance modlet we talk about. maybe if it's not payment, we talk about endorsements, scholarship funds beyond college tuition. i think as emmert said, we need something beyond this level of college sports. >> let's listen. >> i think the kids should be able to use their likeness, make money from their signatures. it's their name and likeness. it's not ours. it's theirs. they should be able to make money. >> is that what's going to happen? >> that could be some potential compromise hee. instead of giving out money, we talk about let them go sign autographs, places where they're adored. does ska lieu sa, alabama, lexington, kentucky, where they

can sign autographs, make money off their image and likeness. there was a case in supreme course, the ed o'bannon case, but that came out instead of image and likeness with manufacture cost in attendance. maybe we need to take that step. a lot of things swirling out there that could be potential solutions to this. >> do we have to basically rewrite the level of an athlete? >> i think we're talking something different. what mark emmert has charged a committee to do led by condoleeza rice is come up with nooew ideas like what we talked about. what are we doing with this college athlete. they have a one and done, where they have to go a year before they go to the pros. if that wasn't there, all these kids we're talk about would just gopro and pro and it would be feed. right now it's the g-league and players would rather go to college for a year than go there. so maybe some coordination between the nba and what has

become their farm system, college athletics at the highest level, and working out a system where there's some payments, there's some educational level that may be part of it. this could be a multilateral solution. the condoleeza rice committee, the ncaa, the nba, developmental league, and some governance body that's beyond the nba. >> and maybe the apparel companies. >> adidas is mentioned as well. >> thanks for your time. could technology solve traffic? i hope so. researchers at one of the nation's top universities think so, and they may have cracked the code on breaking up gridlock on the roads. oh, boy, oh, boy. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday."

welcome to "cbs this morning saturday" i'm anthony mason. >> i'm alex wagner. coming up this hour, president trump wants to put tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. that could mean the u.s. paying higher prices for many products and goods. we will look at the possible looming trade war. >> then as russia's vladimir putin announce as new arsenal of nuclear weapons, pentagon papers whistleblower daniel ellsberg is out with a new book about the dangers of nuclear war and what he knows about our country's doomsday plan. and dinosaurs, aliens, and even a terminator are up for grabs. it is a monster sale at a new

memorabilia auction. we'll show you what hollywood treasures are included ahead. first our top story this hour. the aftermath of the nor'easter that slammed the east coast. the storm is now out over the atlantic ocean. some areas were hit by hurricane force winds, heavy rain and record snow. the storm is blamed for at least six deaths. >> in neighborhoods around boston, residents were evacuate fredd from their homes, flooded by record tides. winds knocked trees into the houses. trees were blocked, power lines down cutting off electricity to 1.8 million customers. >> one driver on the bridge captured a tractor-trailer blown over by powerful winds. the bridge was closed for several hours because of the storm. >> high wind were a major factor in the cancellation of 4,000 flights since friday. can you see hu some planes had a

tough time with dangerous landing conditions. he had curran of chicago station wbb mtv has more on this weather. ed, good morning. >> the powerful storm system continues to move out to sea. as it does, things will improve. we have gale warnings and storm warnings for a time in place yet. coastal storm warnings remain up as we head spointo early sunday morning. as this pulls away it will improve. these are bars of pressure. as they losing, it starts to lighten up. it takes a while for that to happen. you see winds diminishing. winter storm warnings up, 4 to 8" of snow, 4 to 12 here. in california high in the mountains up to a few feet of snow as the storm system continues out west.

alex. >> meteorologist ed curran, thanks. republicans are hoping trump will consider after threatening steep tariffston steel and aluminum imports perhaps as soon as fedex week. some in congress tended to roll with the president's policy statements knowing mr. trump's ideas can change. lawmakers are acting with urgency on fears the tariff will spark a global trade war and stall recent gains in the u.s. economy. some u.s. trade partners are warning of retaliation if the u.s. hits them with tariffs. >> the continuing threat of a trade war sent stocks lower on friday. the dow rallied from triple digit deficit to close 70 points lower. friday's loss came alp after 420 points drop thursday. here to discuss the exact of a possible trade war is cbs news analyst jill schlesinger. good morning. >> good morning. >> is this in line with the president's america first policy. is that what this is? >> i think so. coming on the heels of just about a month ago when we had

tariffs on solar panels and other appliances, i think it is somewhat consistent. critics are cael worried about this one because this seems to be taking it to another level. the fear is that this could be the beginning of something much bigger and retaliation from some of our trading partners like canada and mexico were already negotiating nafta with them, this could really hurt much of our negotiating stance with these countries. >> jill, the eu has already sort of announced some very pointed retribution, if you will. they seem to be not necessary hi surprised, but they have their ducks in a row. >> yes. this was from the european commission. tariffs will be on harley davidson, bourbon and blue jeans. that's quite pointed. i don't know if it's going to do things. this just shows you, these are our allies. europe, not only that but we have a lot of people in the canadian countries saying this

is a big problem. south korea we're starting to negotiate with them over issues around north korea. so again, these are our friends who are saying why are you doing this? this has broader implications. >> the president has tweeted trade wars are good. are trade wars ever good? >> i don't like the word war on anything. in my mind the word war is bad. trade wars aren't good. it can lead to big problems when it comes to the global economy. again, will these tariffs undo our economic progress right this second? probably not. but if we see retribution from these other countries, that could start to get into some very thorny territory. the concern among economists i speak to, no, it's not this but it's something, the next thing. if all of a sudden we're all fighting, this could really slow down world economic progress. some of them said this could lead to a global recession. >> it's also beyond overseas.

there's a domestic audience that could be hurt. agriculture sector, a large part of the president's base could be very injured by these tariffs. >> yes, very interesting. although china doesn't export a lot of steel and aluminum anymore to the u.s., that's changed over the last decade, some of these measures will hit china. we export quite a bit of soybeans to china. the agriculture sector is fearful the retribution from china could really hurt their industry. on the one hand you've got a winner. anyone in the domestic steel and aluminum business feels great about this, but there are losers. it's the agriculture business, the car business, it's beer companies that have aluminum cans or aluminum products used in any food product, packaged food product. these are the losers. they are worried they will not just lose business but could be forced to cut jobs. that's obviously the opposite of what the president want.

>> people in his own party are potentially calling it a job cut tax hike. is that an issue here? >> i don't know if this particular issue will be. we'll have to see if there's fallout in other industries it could be. again, we don't have a lot of details. what we know from the president is 25 and 10% tariffs will be coming. next week we should get more details. there could be carve outs. until we get details we don't know what will come next. >> legal review hasn't been completed, remains to be seen. >> the president hasn't had kind worst for wto, so maybe he doesn't care about that. >> jill, always good to see you. now seven minutes after the hour. here is a look at the weekend.

vladimir putin stunned the world by announcing an arr he complains the weapons cannot be intercepted and says they were developed to counter america's missile defense system. >> daniel ellsberg who released pentagon papers studied dangers for decades. "the doomsday machine, confessions of a nuclear war planner." we sat down with him to discuss nuclear war plans and today's crisis. for more than 40 years daniel ellsberg has been known as the man who exposed u.s. government's secrets about the vietnam war. >> i did this, clearly, at my own jeopardy rainfall there's an even bigger secret he's been keeping about his involvement in planning for a bigger war. >> you said i was part of a plan that should never have been made

that was a crime against humanity. what was the plan? >> the plan was to hit every city in the soviet union and every city in china. there was no plan for fighting soviets that did not also involve annihilating the chinese population. the result was a readiness to annihilate 600 million people, 100 holocausts. when i say crime against humanity, it was actually crime against existence of the human species. >> this is the end of days, and that was the plan. >> i pray the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity. >> in 1960s it was ellsberg's job to update nuclear plans left by president eisenhower. >> you said this was the most evil plan that ever existed. and yet the people you knew who drafted this plan, were they

amoral? >> no. what this revealed to me was something about our species i've had to live with and try to understand. they are normal, ordinary, smart conscientious patriotic people working in secret can carry out monstrous plans. but it's the job. you go to work on the job and do what the boss wants. when i modified these plans, for instance, tried to get targeting off cities, off moscow and off china automatically. actually i failed in all that. not hitting moscow was just unthinkable. >> when they exploded they will produce a doomsday shroud. >> ellsberg compares the war plan to the 1964 movie "dr. strangelove" which centers on the existence of a doomsday machine meaning to automatically respond to a first strike attack with enough nuclear weapons to destroy all life on earth. >> dr. strangelove was a

documentary. it saw the mad humor in the situation. >> gee, i wish we had one of them doomsday machines. >> it still makes me laugh when i think about it. it's hard to take this seriously, except it's very serious indeed. those were and are our preparations for nuclear war. >> he intended to bring the information to the public after the close of the war in vietnam. >> but found publishers then and 30 years later feeling we can't sell this to readers. they don't want to hear anything with the word "nuclear" in the title. that was true up until the president. >> more than 50 years later ellsberg published a new book about his experience. >> wow. >> he wrote the book in his bunker-like office referencing documents from his considerable archives. >> so there are a few books down here, just a few. you've created your own library classification system. >> nuclear notes.

>> first use. these are threats of first use. >> wow. >> a chapter in the book. this is a draft dated 1995. so people asked me why have you waited to put this stuff out? the truth is i put it out in lectures and sometimes trying to get it out by special means by getting arrested and putti. >> nobody noticed. >> nobody was interested. >> but the world is paying attention now. north korean leader kim jong-un has been testing intercontinental ballistic missiles. >> they will be met with "fire and fury." >> president trump has threatened the full force of the u.s. military, and russian president vladimir putin this week shocked the world revealing updated weapons system club icbm

missile he says is invincible. >> does the brinkmanship feel different? >> not really. it was a way of using nuclear weapons without pulling a trigger. using a gun at someone's head without pulling the trigger. you're using the gun. to say we haven't used the weapons or they are useless is misleading. trump and kim are both using their weapons right now. one or the other may back down or not. putin is making similar first use threats. his are threats of crazy action just as ours are. it doesn't unfortunately mean they will never be carried out. >> now 86, ellsberg and his wife patricia have been privately living with this knowledge for as long as their 50-year marriage. days their fellow citizens who are also living on edge. >> hawaii inadvertently sent out

a message alerting residents to an incoming missile attack. it was a false alarm. >> what hawaii did, the alert, was make a million or so hawaiian cities aware for the first time of the kinds of dangers that we have all in the world been living with for half a century, without thinking about them. what to do, diving into manholes, some sat in a bathtub. a total symbolic action. it's not what i would have done. >> what would you have done? >> i would have invited patricia to lie down with me and kiss for as long as the alarm went on. if it didn't have on, we would have a good half hour. >> is it a miracle we haven't had a nuclear holocaust. >> miracles do happen. for that i don't mean it was unlikely. it was hard to imagine if you

knew what the real risks were. it's not impossible there will be another 70 years. it would take another miracle. what i'm working at is alerting people to the danger before the alarm sounds to do something about it, so the risk will be somewhat less. >> we're, so i think, entranced with domestic policies and politics but there's a lot happening in this world. >> as he points out, this risk has been there for half a century and we've not stared it in the face. >> geopolitical adversaries ar the same, we're still talking about russia in the arms race. >> dr. strangelove is a documentary we should pay attention to. from king kong to aliens, nearly a century of movie history going up for auction next week. we'll tell you what's for sale and why a "jurassic park" dinosaur could fetch tens of thousands of dollars. maybe you want one in your home.

wheel connect with her up next on "the dish." you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." what is the good fight? >> i mean you could interpret that so many times, i think the good fight is trying desperately to hold onto your value system, at least for this character, or how to live in the present moment without losing your mind. i would say that's the overreaching theme of this particular season which is 13 episodes. >> yeah. the first one was ten. >> yeah. but even last year was a different world. last year when i did your show, we were talking at a different level of current events and it was weird enough then, but the interesting thing for the writers, they have to stay the news in order to stay on top of it.

they almost have to anticipate what's going to happen. we just finished an episode on impeachment, the golden shower tape. by the time -- >> that's what i mean by pushing the envelope, christine baranski. >> why shouldn't we. we're living in times that are so unabashed and audacious as artists, as writers, as actors. we have to go that place. >> what is to say we don't care if we offend people. there are obviously people on the other sides of the issues that have deep strong feelings. >> indeed. but we have characters that are also pro trump. to the writer' credit, they say they didn't write a political show. it was never meant to lecture the audience.

this morning on "the dish" culinary entrepreneur danielle chang. born in taiwan, her family loved food and had a knack for business. she grew up in texas and california before heading to college here in new york. she has worked in an incredible variety of fields from art to journalism and banking to snoogs and in 2010 she took her lifelong interest in promoting asian culture and created lucky rice, a food and culture festival that became a huge hit in the big apple. now it's spread to seven other cities including l.a., las vegas, and miami. recognized as one of the premier showcases for asian cuisine and

culture. danielle chang, good morning and welcome to "the dish." >> excited to be here. >> talk about this table. >> as you can see, there's a huge variety of asian dishes here. i chose this particular menu because each of these dishes has a personal residence to me. these are shanghai east tamales that my 100-year-old grandmother learned to make when she became homesick after moving to the u.s. that's a taiwanese beef noodle soup and it's my comfort soup go. that'ses she roy sneeze chicken wing, and here are korean kobe. i just recently got back from film for first time. filming the special pbs series i create and host. i was so mesmerized by the foodieism in korea. >> i was excited to discover there's gin in the tea this

morning. >> yes, of course. listen, you don't have to choose between tea time or happy hour. >> that's delightful. >> like that motto. >> it's a tea cocktail. you get your wellness with the green tea, the antioxidants and then you get your mood-lifting properties from the gin, so, you know. >> wellness in a cup. >> exactly. >> danielle, you have had so many incredible jobs before landing in the food world. tell us a little bit about your career packet for those who don't know. >> i'm really, really fortunate that i've been able to work in so many different industries and across the world, but i think that it all really connects to my love for storytelling, and so lucky rice was born out of this desire to share stories about asian food with the broader audience. >> i wonder given the fact that lucky rice takes place in cities across the country, do you see different sort of levels of interests in each market? how does it change when you go from a places like miami to a

place on the west side? >> it's fascinating because -- i mean asians are such a small percentage of the country really. in a place like miami, it's one of the smallest cities in the u.s. in terms of asian population. >> yeah. >> and yet there are so many people out there who just love cultural exploration through food. so it's one of our most popular festivals. >> do you see this expanding to even more cities? >> i'm really happy with where we're at. >> you feel like, i'm good, i'm good. >> it's fantastic to see the diversity of how asian foot has rooted itself and to american culture, whether it's through barbecue dishes in the south or, you know, in terms of west coast communities. but just super excited about telling stories through media. and so we're really focused on
