"cbs this morning" is coming up next. your next local update is 7:26. good morning to our viewers in the west. it's friday, april 13th, 2018. welcome to "cbs this morning." fired fbi director james comey says president trump is untethered to the truth and compares him to a mob boss. we'll have details of comey's scorching new memoir and hear from the president's defenders who say comey is lying. the u.s. looks for solid evidence of a chemical attack in syria while the president weighs international military action. seth doane is the only network correspondent in syria's capital where people are questioning u.s. motives. elon musk says it's much harder than he thought to build thousands of model 3 cars a

month. the tesla ceo tells us about production hell and allows our cameras to go inside the model 3 plant for the first time. plus, ahead of sunday's academy of country music awards male vocalist of the year nominee chris young talks about his untraditional path to the top. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> it looked like james comey is comparing the president to a mob boss. which is a remarkable statement coming from a former fbi director. >> comey unleashes on the president in his new book. >> calling him unethical and untethered to truth. >> russia is reportedly working to delay any military strike against syria by seeking an emergency u.n. security council meeting. >> after nine days of walkouts, the oklahoma teachers strike is over. >> you have achieved a historic victory. >> cia director mike pompeo was in the hot seat as the senate foreign relations committee considering his nomination for

secretary of state. >> he's smarter, tougher than all those guys. in the end, he's going to win. >> wildfires flaring up all around oklahoma. >> officials expect to see historic fire conditions. >> holy smoke. >> all that -- >> escaping from an avalanche in the french alps. workers were clearing snow from another avalanche. >> and all that matters. >> it's a thing that tesla is going bankrupt? >> yes. >> so i thought i'd just do this -- >> elone, that's not funny when people are nervous. >> i mean, it's april fool's, we should, like, lighten up, okay. >> on "cbs this morning." >> what do you want me to do, lie to you? man. >> this is a video from grand rapids, michigan. a local weatherman doesn't like the reactions he's been getting to his weather reports lately. >> 20. feels like 19. or feels like 70, i don't know. 47, partly cloudy. southwest breeze 10 to 15. here's a 60. i don't know if that's good enough for you guys. >> i don't know if that was the

five-day forecast or two weeks notice or what. >> this morning's eye opening is presented by toyota, let's go places. >> clearly, mr. weatherman had had it with the job. i was curious like jimmy, does he still have a job today? he's over it. it's friday, april 13th. >> how about that. >> how about that. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." former fbi director james comey's highly charged new memoir slams the trump presidency as a forest fire that can't be contained. comey writes in "a higher loyalty" that president trump, quote, threatens much of what is good in this nation. >> he calls the president untethered to truth and describes his leadership as ego driven about personal loyalty. in a tweet this morning, mr. trump calls comey a proven leaker and liar and a, quote, weak and untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a

terrible director of the fbi. that's the point we're at now. major garrett is at the white house with details of comey's claims. >> comey's book is an insider's account of the president's temper and temperament and the point of view is distinctly hostile, one that comey insists is rooted in the truth. one example of that hostility, comey compares the 45th president of the united states to mob bosses he used to prosecute. james comey's disdain for the president jumps off the pages of his new memoir. he describes mr. trump as a liar and a bully and compared his inner circle to the mafia, quote, lying about all things large and small in service to some code of loyalty that put the organization above morality and above the truth. >> i think it's very sad what they've done with this fake dossier, it was made up. >> reporter: comey also describes the president's fixation with the now infamous dossier, with includes unverified allegations of

mr. trump's involvement with russian prostitute, allegation the president denies. unprompted, he brought up what he called the golden showers thing, comey writes, adding that the president asked him to investigate the salacious charges in the document because, quote, it bothered him if there was even a one percent chance his wife, melania, thought it was true. >> good morning. >> reporter: comey also defends his role in the election. >> the fbi is completing its investigation. and referring the matter to the department of justice for a prosecutor decision. >> reporter: after originally clearing hillary clinton in the e-mail investigation, comey implies politics may have play add role in his decision to reopen the probe 11 days before his election. because i was making decisionings in an environment where hillary clinton was sure to be the next president, my concern about making her an illegitimate president by concealing the restarted investigation bore greater weight, he writes. the former fbi director is not without his critics. he has come under fire from both parties for being too political

and the fbi had to amend inaccurate portions of his testimony last may. in advance of the book's release, republican allies of the president are firing back, calling comey a liar and a leaker. >> i was appalled by what director comey did. >> reporter: calling attack ads on the website lyingcomey.com. president trump has agreed with the recommendation to pardon "scooter" libby. it may seem unrelated, but mr. trump's advisers have long argued comey engaged in misconduct during the libby prosecution and a pardon for libby, john, may emerge as part of a white house narrative to undercut comey's credibility. >> major, thanks. that part is something george w. bush would not do, who scooter libby worked for. jeff pegues, good morning, let

me ask you about this book. what strikes you, the news that is in the book or the scathing tone and judgment from the former fbi director? >> reporter: well, all of those things strike me about this book. this is comey not holding back. he is definitely settling some scores in this book. he talks about some of his interactions with president trump. especially during that briefing in january of 2017. before the inauguration where he was briefing president trump or then candidate -- or president elect trump on the contents of that dose yeah that was compiled by the former british spy. and the russia investigation. so there are new details there. he's talking about his interactions with the president. and, though he is taking shots at the president, too, with these personal slights, talking about his height and some of his physical characteristics. so this is james comey definitely settling some scores here. >> what do you think in this book might be of interest to the

special counsel robert mueller? >> well, there is a lot in this book. obviously the special counsel can use in its investigation. but keep in mind, he has already sat down. he's talked to james comey. and comey is not the kind of person who would release a book like this if he knew that it would compromise the investigation. but what investigators certainly will focus on, based on his account of his interactions with president trump, is that moment where he was briefing president trump. also, the meetings in the white house where, according to comey, president trump asked him if he could drop the flynn investigation. also that loyalty pledge. so there are several elements in this book that are pertinent to the russia investigation. >> well, there's a lot of speculation about comey's future plans. they're announcing the cast of "dancing with the stars" today. i doubt he's doing that, but does the book offer any insights into what he plans to do?

>> he's obviously worked in government. he's worked for one of the biggest hedge funds in the world. there's a lot of talk about whether he will pursue politics as the president likes to say, we'll see. >> jeff, thank you. an emergency meeting on syria is just starting at the united nations security council. it follows the recent suspected chemical weapons attack. russia requested the meeting. it said the top priority should be to avert a wider war. this morning, russia's foreign minister claimed the attack was staged, with the help of a foreign secret service. president trump discussed u.s. military options on syria with his advisers and american allies yesterday but has not made a final decision. david martin is at the pentagon. david, good morning. >> good morning. president trump spoke with the president prime minister last night and the two leaders adegreed that syria's president assad has a history of using chemical weapons and that something has to be done to stop him from doing it again. >> i believe there was a chemical attack and we're

looking for the actual evidence. >> reporter: the pictures of the aftermath of ralast weekend's suspected chemical attack in syria that kill 42 and injured over 500 are compelling but two critical questions remain, what kind of chemical and who was responsible. cbs news analyst mike morrell. >> if the president is going to take military action, the intelligence committee would want to give him a high confidence judgment. >> reporter: intelligence analysts have concluded the symptoms shown in the videos are consistent with exposure to chlorine gas. and that some of the victims look like they had been exposed to a nerve agent. but that's not enough. >> you can only really nail it down when you get a blood sample that you have confidence in where that blood sample came from and what the chain of custody was. >> reporter: u.s. officials say blood samples provided by hospital workers do indeed confirm the presence of chemicals, but they need to be sure the evidence hasn't been doctored. >> assad's never been stronger than he is today, so the

opposition would want nothing more than to significantly weaken him with a u.s. air strike. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence has confirmed four other chemical attacks carried out by the regime, but none of them triggered a military response. the stakings are higher that time. because russia has warned the u.s. not to strike. >> i do think there's a possibility here of a military confrontation between the u.s. and russia and syria. >> reporter: an international team of chemical weapons inspectors is scheduled to arrive at the scene of the attack tomorrow. they could find soil samples that prove what kinds of chemicals were used, but that still would not answer the question of who is responsible. gayle. >> all right, david martin reporting from washington, thank you. syria's president says any u.s. military strike against his regime would be based on lies. seth doane is in the capital of damascus. he is the only american network correspondent inside the country. seth, good morning.

>> reporter: good morning. as the u.s. and its allies contemplate ways to punish syrian president assad and forces loyal to him, here in government-controlled damascus, the focus has been on advances they've made on the battlefield. syria's government is gaining ground in formerly rebel-held eastern ghouta. so much so that russia, syria's strongest ally, declared victory in the biggest town there, douma. though notably the syrian army has not. it says the battle for the damascus suburb may not be over. rebels and residents are being bussed from the area in an evacuation deal with the government. friday is a day off here. it was quiet this morning in central damascus. are you afraid about a possible strike? >> no. >> reporter: we've been holding on, omar rahabi explained. syrian president assad has

appeared confident, unfazed. thursday, he met with representatives from iran, another ally, and said that the u.s. posture is a reaction to progress on the battlefield. at a cafe down street, we asked about saturday's alleged chemical attack. the response was unanimous. these men asked why would assad use chemical weapons if syria is winning the war? it's all lies, abu ali told us. remember, this is government-held territory, where support for assad runs deep. and also as this war grinds into its eighth year, we've heard from people that they are weary and do not want to see it escalate or enter a new faze. john. >> seth doane for us on the streets of damascus, thanks. secretary of state-nominee mike pompeo told senators at his confirmation hearing that special counsel robert mueller has interviewed him in the russia probe. the outgoing cia director was asked yesterday how he would

respond to any attempt to fire mueller. >> would you resign your post as secretary of state in order to demonstrate that we are a nation of laws, not of men? >> i haven't give than question any thought. my instincts tell me no. my instincts tell me my obligation to continue to serve as america's senior diplomat will be more important. >> pompeo's confirmation vote is expected to be close and he may need support from democrats. >> president trump is creating a special task force to review the united states postal service, which he says is on an unsustainable finance path. he issued the executive order last night. the task force has 120 days to make recommendations. mr. trump has suggested the online retail giant amazon is to blame for the post office troubles. last week, he tweeted that amazon is costing the postal service massive amounts of money for being, quote, their delivery boy. while the usps has lost money

for years, package delivery revenue has actually increased by more than 2 billion in the last fiscal year. the woman who accuses bill cosby of sexual assault is testifying today in his retrial. andrea constand says cosby molested her in 2004. cosby says their encounter was consensual. he's charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault. michelle miller is following the trial. >> reporter: good morning. prosecutors called five of cosby's accusers to the stand this week. former super model janice dickinson testified yesterday, claiming cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her, but a mel w memoir she wrote more than 15 years ago suggest discrepancies in her story. on the fourth day of bill cosby's sexual assault retrial, the lawyer representing dozens of his accusers.

>> awful, putting these women on the witness stand. >> i don't put anybody on witness stand. it's the prosecutor who decides. >> reporter: attorney gloria allred's daughter lisa bloom represents janice dickinson. who took the stand yesterday to testify that cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her at a lake tahoe hotel in 1982. she testified, i didn't consent to this. here was america's dad on top of me. a married man, a father of five kids on top of me. i was thinking how wrong it was. very wrong it was. defense attorney tom mesereau challenged dickinson in cross examination, pointing out that she made no mention of sexual assault in her 2002 autobiography. it's all a fabrication in there, she answered, it was written by ghost writers. i wanted a paycheck. >> we feel and believe that these truths and facts that we heard today should result in

mr. cosby found not guilty of all charges. >> reporter: now another accuser, lisa lotte lublin was the fifth person to testify yesterday. she claims cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1989. cosby denies that. constand's appearance today will be the second time she faces a jury after the previous trial ended without a verdict. >> michelle, following the bouncing ball for us, thanks. the fight for higher wages could be paying off for teachers in arizona. the state's governor proposed a 20% raise for teachers by 2020. educators say the offer is encouraging but they want to see legislation before declaring victory. in oklahoma, state's largest teacher union is calling for the end of a nine-day walkout, despite lawmakers failing to meet their demands. republican leaders say they will not provide additional funding for schools. last month, the state's governor signed legislation to raise teacher's salaries by a little over $6,000.

the educator says they will continue pressuring lawmakers. in western and central oklahoma, historic wildfire conditions are possible today. dangerous fires already cover more than 135,000 acres. strong winds, high temperatures and low humidity could cause them to grow bigger or start new fires. this video shows how one driver narrowly escaped the fast-moving fires by driving in reverse. people in nearby areas were told to evacuate. britain's prince philip is out of the hospital this morning. queen elizabeth's 96-year-old husband had surgery to replace a hip. buckingham pams salace says the operation was successful. philip retired from public life last year but still appears in some engagements. >> he has an upcoming wedding, a grandchild. a lot to do. tesla's ceo elon musk admits too much technology led to production delays with the new

since the beginning of this year. its high-profile ceo elon musk calls this period a production hell. most of the troubles revolve around the company's model 3 sedan. it's the first midprice electric car. earlier this week, musk took us on a tour of his silicon valley factory. this is the first time network cameras were let i signed p the model 3 line. >> going to look at the batteries? >> the middle part is where we put the battery pack and motor in. and so we call that marriage. >> what's the marriage, premarriage, marriage, post-marriage? >> right now, marriage is the hardest part. >> marriage is the hardest part. musk's relationship with outside analysts and investors is going through a rough patch. >> i'm under stress. i want to be clear, i'm definitely under stress. >> reporter: in the past month, tesla has issued an involuntary

demand. we're going to be in production hell. >> yes. >> but you didn't expect this kind of production hell, or did you? >> no, it's worse. >> why is that? what happened? >> we got complacent about some of the things we felt were our core technology. we felt too much new technology into the model all at once. >> high-tech in the cars, but it also built them. this is widely regarded as one of the most robotics driven auto assembly line on the planet. elon elon, part of the thing i heard about the model 3 is there's too many robots. >> i agree. >> you think so too, maybe you need more people working? >> we do. >> in some cases, the robots slow the production, right? >> yes. we have this crazy complex network of conveyer belts and it was not working. got rid of the whole thing. >> realizing it needed an overhaul, he took over the production line at the beginning

so bankrupt, you can't believe it. >> you know people are nervous and they're worried. you are aware of that. so knowing that, why would you do an april fool's joke you did? >> those media articles saying tesla's going bankrupt. >> yes. >> so i thought, well, i'll just do an april fool's joke that we did go bankrupt. >> that's not funny when people are nervous. >> it's april fool's. people should lighten up, okay. it should be pretty obvious i'm not going to joke if i think it's remotely real. i'm feeling optimistic about where tesla is that the point. i like to have a clear understanding of the path out of hell and i did not until recently have a clear understanding. >> elon musk says anyone who preorders the model 3 when it was unveiled last july should be getting their car in about 3 to 6 months, and that's about 6 to 9 months later than promised. listen, i have to say, he's

really on the case. when you hear about him sleeping at the factory but i asked employees when he wasn't around, he actually does sleep in this room. i said, why are you doing this? it's not like you're out there running a machine. he says, because i can solve the problems in real time. i look at that board, i can see where a problem is and go and make the correction and go check it out myself. so he's very serious. >> what i like hearing about him is he's showing making mistakes, trying to fix them, tweaking. we never get to look inside the clock works. what he's learning about automation matters to him. it's a crucial thing happening to all businesses. learning that stiometimes you c overautomate. >> fascinating to let us in when he knows he's under the gun. he says sure, come on in. he's very calm, very confident. he's very matter of fact. very matter of fact in the way he speaks. i just think he's terrific, and on the case. >> yes, bold and creative. >> he thinks outside the box, norah, we like that. >> absolutely. >> we'll have more of him -- >> at 8:00. >> that's right, double dose.

safety board by releasing the results before the investigation was completed. why did you do that? >> it's actually -- we've always released -- >> are you on autopilot now? >> yes. the ntsb takes a long time to complete an investigation. they'll take over a year. so we can't wait for a year to release information. that's way too long. >> too long, especially for a company under such intense public scrutiny. >> it's important to understand it will never be perfect. >> auto pilot will never be perfect. >> nothing in the real world is perfect. but i do think that long term it can reduce accidents by a factor of ten. so there are ten fewer fatalities and tragedies and serious injuries. and that's a really huge difference. >> i've got to get used to the auto pilot. elon musk is a very good driver although he did cruise through a couple of stop signs but he's a very good driver. it's good, gayle, it's good. the price of the car is $35,000

installment plan. there's a fee associated but it will get you going. you could, and i am really putting a caveat on this, pay with a credit or debit card but it is expensive because there are fees involved. but do file, even if you owe money. >> what about -- college acceptance season and people are thinking about how am i going to pay for this? is it a wise decision to have to dip into your retirement savings in order to help pay for your child's college. >> the average refund is about $2900. they'll say i'll just put it in my college fund or retirement fund or pay down debt. i want to remind people with college acceptance season, you might think i'll just take a loan out for my 401(k) and pay for that tuition. try not to do that. it's so important to secure your own retirement. better to have the kids get a college loan. you may be able to help them, but, boy, you really want to leave that retirement plan alone and safe. >> if you're getting a refund,

what should you pay down first? which debt you have should you pay down first? >> high-interest credit card. pay down an auto loan. kick some extra money into your retirement plan. >> oh, isn't that easy? >> invest it. >> all good information. jill, always good to talk to you. thanks so much. young russians are opening up about their country's tensions with the u.s. find out what alex wagner found out when she went to moscow. she got their take on russia's alleged medsling in the elections, vladimir putin and how they're different from older russians. you're watching "cbs this morning." >> announcer: this morning's" eye on money" sponsored by td ameritrade. call, visit, go online or visit a branch today. i'm closer to my retirement days than i am my college days. hm. i'm thinking... will i have enough? should i change something? well, you're asking the right questions. i just want to know, am i gonna be okay?

for me is that american people are more vulnerable to any kind of even small propaganda. for example, if i look at your camera and say i live in russian and i love putin because he's the greatest communist of all time. you're going to go like, oh, my god, communist, poor russia. but it's not communist at all. >> do you believe they had something to do with the election? >> that sounds silly to me. how? i don't think russia would have done that. >> i think the job is to do the most. >> you think the media stirs up emotions. >> exactly. and to react to media from other medias from around the world. >> do you feel that's true for

russia media as well? >> yes, exactly. >> do you think putin's been in power too long? >> yes. i believe at times he's becoming quite inadequate and probably he understands what he wants and what he's doing. >> i disagree with him on many points, yes. but mostly satisfied with the current political system, yes. >> how are you different than the older generation? >> people who are born, they didn't have a chance to travel around the world. we had this chance because the borders are open. >> as russians do you feel isolated? >> we still got youtube. we watch tv, hbo. our favorites. the series is like a game of thrones, right? we've got money and can grab a

ticket and visit you if we want. but we're okay here. >> alex wagner is with us at the table. so interesting to hear their perspectives and certainly on trump. did they feel as free and open to talk about their own leader, president trump? >> there's a real sense of defiance i got not just the russian millennials but russians on the street i spoke with. russia state propaganda has pushed its sit extends to believe sanctions have no effect and russia is as strong as it has been and i feel like some of that has trickled down and these kids feel almost resistant to the idea they're somehow marginalized in all of this. >> russia nationalism is a huge part of president putin's rise. do you see that passion and that's the connection between putin and the next generation? >> absolutely.

the ones who respect putin respect trade. you heard about the shades of authoritari authoritarianism. in that way they respond to trump as well. they also think whatever you do in america, we can copy or do better. one student said, you know, you have your iphones and your blockchains and your innovations and we enjoy them and then we'll make them better. that is -- that is a disciple of putin speaking. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> you can see alec and more of her reporting when the season returns for year 3. amazon acquired a deal to buy doorbell's ring. jammie is in our toyota green room.
