>> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> all we can say is this, they got great athletes in philadelphia. >> from super bowl to ncaa. >> congratulations to the city of brotherly love. we got love here too. welcome to cbs this morning. norah is off today. bianna golodryga is here. we are starting with this. the trump administration is about to roll back one of president barack obama's signature policies on the environment. the move comes from the head of the environmental protection agency, that's scott pruitt. >> in the next half hour, pruitt is expected to announce a reversal of tougher obama era standards for rules on greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy. that would set up a show you with lawmakers and environmental groups. >> meanwhile, the white house is reportedly revealing reports
7:04 am
that pruitt paid a below market rate to live in a washington condo tied to an energy industry lobbyist. chip reid is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. pruitt says rolling back greenhouse gas emission and fuel economy standards will help the car industry and consumers. but it's expected to ignite a firestorm of criticism here in washington. >> i think measuring precision, human activity on the climate is very challenging. >> reporter: pruitt has previously questioned the impact of carbon dioxide emissions. something president trump also doubted on the campaign trail. >> a lot of it is a hoax. >> reporter: the epa announced the current emission and fuel economy standards are not appropriate and should be revised, but did not say what those revisions would be. the move could set up a legal fight between the trump zr administration and california which has vowed to stick with the current violations and has a waiver through the clean air
7:05 am
act. the announcement comes as pruitt is facing new ethics questions regarding a condo he rented from the wife of a top energy lobbyist. until last july, pruitt was renting the condo for $50 a night from the wife of steven hart, chairman of a top washington lobbying firm. hart's firm reportedly lobbied to scale back barack obama era epa rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. the epa also reportedly signed off on a pipeline plan for another company linked to the firm. at the same time pruitt was renting the condo. >> i was flying coach. >> reporter: he is also facing questions about his plane travel. he says it's necessary because of threats. >> the security detail i had, they wanted me on a position of the plane to exit expeditiously if an incident arose. >> reporter: the epa says there's no connection between any decision administrator pruitt has made at epa and any place he has lived and that
7:06 am
pruitt is focused on advancing the president's agenda. there are reports this morning that pruitt's job is in jeopardy. but we're told the president called him last night and said "keep fighting, we have your back." >> chip, thanks. chip reid at the white house. president trump is attacking his predecessor's immigration record. mr. trump called u.s. immigration laws, quote, an obama joke. last night after declaring dak ka the daca program i should say, dead. and urging congress to replace it. and this morning the president tweeted, the big caravan of people from honduras now coming across mexico and heading to our weak laws border had better be stopped before it gets here. he was apparently referring to groups of central american migrants seen in southern mexico moving north. these caravans have taken place for several years and usually end in mexico. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, are we seeing any movement on immigration legislation in congress at the
7:07 am
moment? >> we have seen absolutely no movement, john, since the series of bipartisan proposals on daca failed to get the requisite 60 votes back in february in the senate. back then there was a lot of confusion among republicans over what exactly president trump would support. that confusion lingers. although at least one republican, marco rubio of florida, said yesterday he still believes president trump would back a pathway to citizenship for the so-called dreamers if it was pared with enough funding for a new border wall. the white house, however, signaled yesterday it's moving in a different direction when it comes to immigration, telling reporters that it is currently working with the department of homeland security to draft new legislation that would make it tougher to apply for asylum that would eliminate protections for certain children so they can be removed quickly from the country once they arrive and it will allow detention of families for longer periods while they await decisions from immigration
7:08 am
authorities. when it comes to daca, one of the biggest problems here on capitol hill has been that democrats and republicans remain divided over whether granting legal status to daca recipients should be paired with new restrictions on family-based migration. a lot of republicans feel very strongly about that. democrats say it would change the way immigration workings in this country for decades. >> while all of that is going on, or not going on as the case may be, nancy, if february, a second lower court blocked the federal government from ending the daca program, so what's the impact of that? >> well, on one hand, it's good news for daca recipients because those protections they've been receiving stay in place past the deadline that the trump administration wanted to set to remove the entire program last month. on the other hand, now that that deadline no longer exists, it means there's less pressure on congress to act, and the closer we get, john, to those november
7:09 am
midterm elections, the less likely it's going to get that congress can act on something this difficult. >> all right, nancy, thanks so much. the dow is rebounding this morning after wall street's big losses monday. all three major indexes were hit hard. the dow fell 459 points yesterday, almost 2%. that followed new chinese tariffs or more than 100 u.s. products and president trump's criticism of tech giant amazon. william cohan is a "vanity fair" special correspondent and author of "why wall street matters." great to have you on set. >> good to be here. >> this is the worst start to the second quarter since the great depression. how much of this is driven by the president's comments or actions, be that on trade tariffs with china or going after amazon directly? >> look, there's a confluence of events, of which the president's commentary and tweets and policies, whether it's related to self-inflicted wounds related to steel tariffs and aluminum
7:10 am
tariffs that come together. i mean, the fed deciding it's going to increase interest rates after close to ten years of a zero interest rate policy. investors don't like that. as much as they can anticipate that, they don't like that. last year, the market went up 35%, 40% in anticipation of a big tax -- changes to the tax bill, the tax law. that has now happened. people are trying to digest it and figure it out. then there are the self-inflicted wounds. whether it's the tweeting about amazon or trying to break up various medium workers that don't have particular logic. why, go after the at&t/time warner because you don't like cnn. why not go after the disney/fox deal? why attack amazon on twitter? because you don't like "the washington post" that jeff bezos happens to already own as well? there's a con fluent of events. nobody rings a bell at the top of the market who says it's going to be down from here. in my view, this is a healthy
7:11 am
market corruptiemember, correct. if you're long term, which has proven to be the case over generations, everybody should just calm down and view this as a buying opportunity. >> so this market, you say it's a healthy correction? >> absolutely. >> that would suggest it's based on the actual progress of the economy, real things, as opposed to tweets, which we're all learning whether to take those seriously or not as they affect actual policy. how do you pull those two apart? >> there's a confluence, right? some of it relates to the real economy. like if you raise interest rates, which is the fed's duty, to sort of take the punch bowl away just as the party is getting started, which they're now committed to doing. then that means the money is going to cost more and it's not going to be quite as available. we're talking after zero interest rate policy for ten years. we're talking 75 basis points.
7:12 am
that's not a lot. we have a high beta president who cannot be predicted. >> high beta. >> high bet da. you can't predict what he's going to do. self-inflicted wounds on tariffs which causes china to put tariffs on our goods. investors don't like that. ceos don't like that. what they're doing with the antitrust policy. they can't figure out the rhyme or reason. so people get noifervous. it's healthy to have a correction. stocks got really crazy last year. >> what would happen if jeff bezos buys twitter? >> a great idea and shut down the whole company or certain accountings. >> i saw that online today. >> not if all this is healthy. >> that would be healthy too. >> always good to have you at the table. teachers are on strike again this morning across oklahoma to protest low wages and cuts in school funding. an estimated 36,000 teachers flooded the state call top in oklahoma city yesterday. teacher also rallied in
7:13 am
kentucky's capital to oppose legislation there they say would damage their pension system. unrest now threatens in arizona where teachers are demanded higher pay for weeks now. omar villafranca is in oklahoma city with the latest on this story. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. thousands of oklahoma teachers are expected to rally again today here at the state capitol and they are frustrated. after years of budget cuts to the education fund. and many of the teachers are saying "no more." they arrived by the bus load. teachers across oklahoma are demanding better investments in schools, students and themselves. >> oklahoma needs to step up. needed to step up for a long time. >> reporter: while many of the state's largest school districts were closed, some students showed up outside the capitol for actual classes led by their teachers. >> we wanted legislators and also the rest of oklahoma to see what we do in the classroom. >> reporter: high school
7:14 am
sophomore hope davis says she's had to resort to taking many of her classes online. >> our teacher resigned midsemester. so i switchedclasses. >> reporter: do you feel you're getting a better education online than an oklahoma classroom? last week, oklahoma governor mary fallin signed a bill that included a roughly $6,000 raise for teachers and an additional $50 million in education funding. >> this bill is a band aid on a wound that needs stitches. >> reporter: many demonstrators say that's not enough. after demanding a $10,000 raise for teachers and added $200 million over three years in educational funding. >> the legislators have pushed the envelope pretty far this year. there still will be next year. and i think we can continue having that discussion. >> reporter: a discussion national education association president lily eskelsen garcia says needs to happen now. >> teachers have been giving everything they got. the legislature can't keep
7:15 am
exploiting and taking advantage of the people who love their >> reporter: the head of the oklahoma teachers union says these rallies will continue until lawmakers increase school funding. one teacher told me they are taking notes on the votes and plan to take their frustration to the polls in november. >> okay, omar. thanks so much. a lawyer for a man allegedly punched by a ft. worth, texas, police say that man could have been disoriented because of a a seizure. witness cell phone video shows two officers on top of 35-year-old forest curry saturday. one officer appears to punch him repeatedly. curry was arrested and charged with resisting and evading arrest. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the police chief says it took about 4 1/2 minutes to get a pair of handcuffs on this individual. the suspect's attorney says he bonded out of jail last night, and today the attorney is trying to have that man evaluated by a
7:16 am
doctor. the attorney claims the suspect has a history of seizures dating back to high school. that might explain his behavior. here's what the video shows. cell phone video shows ft. worth police officers struggling with forest curry as they try to arrest him. one officer appears to repeatedly punch curry. a second officer is seen kneeing him twice. ft. worth police say they were dispatched saturday when curry attempted to assault members of the fire department. >> he did suffer from a seizure, which is why ems was there in the first place. >> reporter: this is one of his attorneys. >> it seems he was potentially disoriented with what was going on. >> reporter: in a statement, the ft. worth police department says what the video does not depict is that it took three officers and one supervisor to effectively place the resisting subject into handcuffs.
7:17 am
what if your client at some point was, in fact, resisting and pushing back with his hands? that is a possibility. >> that's absolutely a possibility. and i'm not denying that as a potential possibility, even though my stance is that he did not commit any resisting arrest. >> reporter: this is the latest in a string of incidents involving the ft. worth police department that has caused tension in the black community. in 2016, a ft. worth police officer wrestled down jacqueline craig and her daughter after the two got into a verbal disagreement with an officer. that officer was suspended for ten days. the craig family is also represented by attorney jasmine crockett. >> there's a culture in this department, point-blank, period. there's a culture. it's a violent culture. law enforcement officers are not being held accountable. >> reporter: it's worth noting the attorney did not have any medical paperwork to provide us to prove the subject has a histry of seizures. we spoke to a medical expert who
7:18 am
says after a seizure, an individual can be disoriented or confused for 30 seconds up to 30 minutes. we should also tell you the police chief here in ft. worth says despite the questions raised by the videos, they don't tell the whole story. >> what we did see in that video is quite disturbing. david, thank you. philadelphia is preparing for its second championship parade this year after villanova clinched the ncaa men's basketball title. fans flooded the streets last night to celebrate. now, this comes just two months after the city honored the philadelphia eagles for their super bowl win. >> the nova nation has another national championship. >> the wild cats dominated michigan 79-62. it's the team's second national title in the last three years and third overall. >> nicely done, villanova. the sophomore scored 31 points, and that is a national championship record for a player coming off of the bench.

8:31 am
gowdy, good morning. >> good morning. >> i want to start with you. you said the friendship would not have been possible in the state of south carolina. remind people why. >> absolutely. if you think about charleston specifically, it's the home of the civil war, the start of the civil war. think about jim crow, you think about the 60s, you think about racial polarization, the confederate flag going up in the '60s. you don't think about a black guy and white guy coming together after a racially motivated shooting at emanuel ame church where my uncle attended for 50 years. you think that racially rich and provocative past and come to the conclusion that america is on the wrong road. what i've experienced in south carolina over the last several decades is that the evolution of the southern heart, it is so powerful, so amazing, that there is reasons to be hopeful even with the backdrop of tragedies in our nation today. the polarization is real, but the hope is eternal. >> and after the shooting, the congressman was the first phone call you made.

>> the white congressman which i think would have surprised a lot of people. >> it surprised me, frankly. >> yeah. >> in retrospect, one of the reasons why "unified" is so powerful for me is because the book talks about the paradigm shift that occurred in my own heart. i was called the "n" word in high school. i had real challenges. and trey on that wednesday at 10:00, i called the white guy -- i didn't know before i came to congress -- >> why did you call him? >> because he had become the most trusted confidante that i had in a town where you don't make friends. if you want a friend in d.c., buy a dog. you don't look to another person. and trey, he was there. he walked the road wednesday everything with me, he attended the funeral and wakes. he was a powerful force anchoring me during a time where i just thought the tragedies are back again. and this is just a couple months after the walter scott police

8:35 am
worse. politics to me is inherently divisive and is one reason i'm leaving. the divisiveness didn't start with donald trump. it's existed from the first day. politics is all about winning. and i don't think there's any other relationship we have in life where our sole goal is to win by whatever -- >> i wonder if these things are incompatible. if you'll win by all costs and if you're going to be the kind of person that the congressman described you to be. >> i love trey because he is -- his integrity is unquestioned. what i would say about my passion for politics is it's a mission. i don't care about the office i hold, the title i have. i was given a second chance by this country. i was given a second chance by voters. i was the guy that was flunking out of high school. when you fail world geography and politics and politics you don't go into politics. my teachers, mother, mentor saw something in me that i could not see in myself. one of the reasons why i'm

believe this. i don't mean offense to anyone in your line of work any more than i do in my line of work. i think conflict sells. and i think contrast is good, and it's healthy. conflict sells. and there are times when i will look at the -- at the web page on the "washington post" and almost every editorial, almost every opinion, that's different from news, almost every editorial, if you're a republican, they're hard to read, the headlines. politics is as divisive now i think as it's ever been in our country. it's one reason i'm getting out, and it's one reason that we wrote the book "unified." if people will sit down and have a conversation with each other which frankly we do in washington. we don't want y'all to know that, but we get along really well privately. >> we should know that, though. >> but you know what -- i think the reason you don't know it is the primary system is set up where you got a guy -- i don't

want to get him in trouble, so joey, i'm sorry. but for joey kennedy to be threatened with a primary because he attended the inauguration -- he may have his own inauguration one day. he's had family members with inauguration. if you're going to be threatened with a primary or if i have to stop and think about whether or not to compliment a democrat when i'm on a talk show -- a talk show, radio talk show, that's a pretty toxic environment we're in. >> listen, all left us with a lot to think about. you say politics won't change the condition of the change, but changing the human heart will.
