they're getting rid of time. not the word time. the actual measurement of a passing event. that's how powerful this company will be. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." at&t used to stand for american telephone and telegraph. now we don't have telephones or telegraphs anymore. >> or time. all right. >> we start today with a tornado that caused severe damage in northeastern pennsylvania last night. the storm that ripped through the scranton area was so powerful, it overturned cars, ripped up trees and sent debris frying through the air. >> at least six people were hurt here. a gas leak is now threatening area this morning. emergency crews are warning people to stay away. don dahler is at a shopping center in wilkes-barre township that was town apart by this storm. don, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

i don't know if you can hear it, but there's a loud hissing sound coming from over here. authorities aren't sure if that's escaping compressed air or a natural gas leak so they're keeping us far away from the scene. even from this far away, you can clearly see that an army of bulldozers couldn't have done as good a job of destruction. we have roofs thrown down on the parking lot. and across the street at that car dealership, you see cars flipped over, lots of damage there. a little further on, there's a u-haul building. a u-haul truck has been tossed on top of another one. the national weather service is sending some experts here to see whether it was a tornado in fact that touched down here. the folks that saw this storm have very little doubt. township officials say the destruction stretches for about a mile. thousands of people lost power when winds up to 50 miles an hour whipped around debris and brought down trees and power lines. no homes fortunately were destroyed. the storm shattered windows and

scattered debris across the parking lot. the area is still considered an active emergency because of that gas leak, that propane gas leak inside one of these stores. an employee at this restaurant saw chairs fly through the windows. the winds were so strong they tossed cars and u-haul trucks lifted to slam into nearby buildings. emergency officials say everyone was fortunate this happened overnight because if this happened during the height of the business day, undoubtedly, they would have had many, many more injuries, norah. >> that's an excellent point, don, thank you. gusty winds and extreme drought are fueling wildfires in the west. flames are burning across seven states this morning. the national weather service issued red flag warnings for parts of arizona, colorado, nevada, utah, and wyoming. in colorado, more than 3,000 homes are evacuated this morning. the largest and most threatening

fire has burned more than 27,000 acres in the san juan national forest, that's north of durango. a wildfire in wyoming's medicine bow national forest west of cheyenne doubled in size in just over 24 hours. forcing out nearly 400 families out of their homes. and in utah, a fast-moving brushfire destroyed eight homes in moab yesterday. president trump is avoiding discussion of kim jong-un's human rights record and praising the north korean dictator's negotiating skills. he commended him for being a tough guy. and secretary of state mike pompeo told reporters in south korea that questions about verifying north korean's removal of nuclear weapons were, quote, insulting and ridiculous and, frankly, ludicrous. weijia jiang is at the white

house. >> reporter: the president picked pompeo to lead the negotiations with north korea which are expected to start up again in a week. the grueling task and a lack of specifics has drawn fierce criticism. while the white house says the two sides have already settled on some terms that are not yet in writing. with the president back at the white house, secretary of state mike pompeo remains in asia. >> we're going to get complete denuclearization. only then will there be relief from the sanctions. >> reporter: briefing american allies on the outcome of the singapore summit. >> united states, republic of korea and japan remain committed to achieving the complete denuclearization of north korea. >> reporter: pompeo's remarks differed from the joint statement between the president and kim jong-un, which did not include the language verifiable and irreversible. nor did it mention north korea's human rights records. >> he's still done some really bad thingings. >> yes, but so have a lot of other people done some bad

things. >> reporter: in an interview with fox news, president trump defended his new foe turned friend. >> you know, he is a killer. he's executing people and -- >> he's a tough guy. hey, when you take over a country, tough country, tough people, and you take it over from your father, if you can do that, at 27 years old, you -- i mean, that's 1 in 10,000 that could do that. >> reporter: and also expressed confidence that verification would be part of the process. >> i believe that chairman kim wants to get it done. >> reporter: but the president faced criticism for declaring there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. >> what planet is the president on? saying it doesn't make it so. north korea still has nuclear weapons. >> reporter: pompeo believes the north will take steps toward major disarmament by the end of president trump's first term. the secretary of state says teams of experts and scientists will be prepared to start

dismantling weapons soon after a deal is struck. but what remains to be seen is whether those inspectors will include an international coalition or be american led, gayle. >> all right, still a lot of questions. thank you so much. president trump's lawyer rudy giuliani is fighting back against reports that mr. trump's former fixer, that's michael coh cohen, may cooperate with special counsel mueller. cohen is getting ready to hire new lawyers in the federal investigation of his business deals. that's sparking speculation he may be ready to provide evidence about the president. paula reid is at the white house. paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. cbs news has learned that michael cohen has not entered into any plea deal despite the speculation prompted by the changes to his legal team. i've been told by sources that he does expect to be charged but he's going to wait to see what charges are filed before deciding whether or not to cooperate against the president.

>> he's not cooperating, nor do we care, because the president did nothing wrong. >> reporter: president trump's lawyer rudy giuliani insisted wednesday night that michael cohen is not turning his back against thepresident. >> if he coerates, there's nothing he can coopera about with regard to president trump. >> reporter: the president insisted his former fixer won't flip, tweeting in april, most people will flip, sorry, i didn't see michael doing that, despite the horrible witch hunt and the dishonest media. cohen is currently under federal investigation for his business deali dealings, including the $130,000 payment to adult film star stormy daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair with president trump. daniel's attorney michael avenatti continues to express confidence in a particular outcome. >> michael cohen's going to be indicted. he's going to attempt to flip on the president. >> i'll do anything to protect mr. trump. >> reporter: cohen's loyalty is being put to the test as investigators continue to comb through the evidence seized from his home, hotel room and office in a dramatic fbi raid back in

april. sources familiar with that evidence say cohen is likely to eventually face charges related to campaign finance violation and bank fraud. but if he get as a pardon on federal charges, he could still be charged on a state level. just last week, president trump pushed back. >> there's nothing to pardon. it's far too early to be thinking about it. >> reporter: law enforcement sources say cohen is not expected to be arrested any time soon. but of course as a member of the president's inner circle for so long, he would be incredibly valuable witness for federal investigators examining any connections between russia and the 2016 trump campaign, norah. >> all right, paula, thank you so much. white house press secretary sarah sand sers disputing a cbs news report she has told friends she plans to leave the administration at the end of the year. she's been at the white house since the start of this administration and has become a close confidant of president

tru trump. >> sources also tell cbs news principal deputy white hse nsidering an exit as well.s sanders tweeted last night, does cbs know something i don't about my plans and my future. i was at my daughter's year-end kindergarten event and they ran a story about my plans to leave the white house without even talking to me. i love my job and am honored to work for the president. cbs news reached out to sanders and shah before publishing its report. both declined to comment. >> sources tell cbs news that government watchdog report coming out later today will describe fired fbi director james comey as insubordinate in the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. the office of inspector general spent 18 months reviewing how the justice department handled the investigation into the 2016 presidential campaign. it also accuses former attorney general loretta lynch of weak leadership. the long awaited report is

expected to fill more than 500 pages. >> a former penn state fraternity brother is the first to plead guilty to charges related to the hazing death of 19-year-old timothy piazza. ryan burke admitted to nine charges yesterday, including hazing and unlawful acts involving liquor. 25 other fraternity members still face charges. jericka duncan is here with what led to the guilty plea. >> reporter: burke was accused of giving a bottle of vodka to piazza during a hazing ritual in february of 2017. piazza died two days later from injury sustained after several dangerous falls and excessive drinking. now burke admits he was partly to blame. >> tragedy, he is anxious to make amends. >> reporter: outside a county courthouse, ryan burke's attorney phillip masorti details the decision to plead guilty.

>> there are too few words to describe a loss so great. this young man understands that. mr. burke decided to step forward at his earliest opportunity to acknowledge and accept his responsibility. >> reporter: prosecutors say surveillance footage shows fraternity brothers gave piazza at least 18 drinks in about 82 minutes. piazza suffered deadly injuries after falling and hitting his head repeatedly. the brothers waited 12 hours to call 911. they poured beer on piazza and slapped him while he was passed out. in march we spoke to his parents. >> they knew that our son was in bad shape and he could likely die. they let him die. they killed our son. >> reporter: the piazza family attorney said in a statement the parents of piazza are pleased to see the first beta brother accept responsibility for his actions and encourage others who also contributed to tim's death

to follow in his foot steps. burke decided to submit an open plea, meaning he pleaded guilty without knowing his possible sentence. and for the first time, we could hear from burke during his sentencing hearing on july 31st. burke faces fines to up to a year in jail for each of the four counts in hazing. >> we've talked to the piazzas before. i met with them. and when i heard this news last night, i thought finally someone is beginning to accept responsibility for what happened. >> every time we hear this story, think about the parents. as you know, they were here at the table. the fact they are speaking up about something so painful will ultimately lead to change because they want people to know they don't want this to happen to anybody else, as painful as this is for them. you look at the pictures of their son, it's heartbreaking to see. >> the way it leads to changes, somebody about to do something stupid stops, because this is where this can lead after seeing how awful this is. >> that's right. the federal reserve says the resilient economy is one reason

why its raising a key interest rate for the second time this year. the central bank increased the short-term rate a quarter point yesterday to a range of 1.75% to 2%. the fed also predicts four rate hikings this year after an earlier forecast of three. cbs business news analyst jill schlesinger is here to explain what it means for you. i read the chair saying this is a sign of the u.s. economy is in great shape but it also means increased interest rates when it comes to your mortgage. >> it's not going to be a direct impact for every single loan. it's short-term loans most directly impacted. auto loans. let's say we took a $25,000 auto loan. it may only amount to a few bucks every month. or if you look at a credit card bill, maybe you've got a $10,000 balance you're carrying, same thing, maybe 20 bucks. but these are incremental. it's been going on now since december 2015, these rising rates. i should also note 30-year fixed rate mortgages are not tied to

this rate directly. but those rates also have been drifting higher. it's tough for those first-time homebuyers who are trying to get into the market. >> the other thing the fed worries about which is inflation which can also take some money out of your wallet. is that part of the concern? >> it is. one of the things the officials did was they gave us some projections about both inflation and economic growth. and the fed is basically saying that growth is going to be upgraded this year. they think we're going to have 2.8% growth and just compare that with the last five six years where it's been more like 2% to 2.25%. as a result, they see inflation ticking up. to a little over 2%. slightly higher than they would like but they're willing to keep it there. this is not great news for actual workers out there. because we haven't seen huge wage gains. so with inflation rising, with interest rates up, it will put pressure on some homes. hopefully we will get those wage gains. that is the likeliest outcome by the end of the year.

>> thank you, jill. always good to see you. you got the cream colored memo. comcast is challenging dition ni for control of some of hollywoo hollywood's biggest studios. comcast offered $65 billion in cash yesterday for a large portion of 21st century fox. that's almost 20% more than disney's $52.5 billion bid. assets up for grabs include fox's film and tv studios, hit franchises like "the simpsons." and a large stake in the hulu streaming service. the offer was made one day after a federal judge approved the merger of at&t and time warner. so now it looks like disney, your move, bob eying iger, let' what happens. e-cigarette addiction is a huge problem for teens. >> this is an epidemic. i've never seen anything like this. i've never seen a tobacco

a new report shows flavors used in many e-cigarette brands may be more harmful than first thought. boston university researchers found they're directly toxic to blood vessels and possibly linked to cardiovascular disease. boy. the most popular is juul. it dominate nearly 60% of the market, but the company has been criticized for the device's popularity with teenagers. only on "cbs this morning" anna werner has a response. good morning. >> good morning. juul said its e-cigarette is designed to help current smokers switch to something safer and healthier. the company showed us in its own recent survey showed 64% of smokers who switched to the product dropped cigarettes completely. but the product is also popular with teens. something juul said it never

intended. >> juul is a product for adult smokers, and they have adopted it. >> reporter: juul's ashley gould says its adults like those featured in the company's current marketing campaign who are the product's market target. >> since i changed to juul, i've changed. my daughter's happy. i'm happy. >> reporter: they're mature smokers who say they've switched from cigarettes to e-cigarettes. aimed to eliminate the smell and social stigma of cigarettes and be healthier. >> this technology has the possibility to enable them to continue to have nicotine in the way it's delivered in a cigarette without the combustion and thereby with the promise of not having to die from it. >> reporter: and juul has taken off. it commands over 60% of the e-cigarette market. >> what do you think explains it? >> honestly, i think a smoker finds a product like juul that works for them, and go and tell other smokers. >> reporter: something else is

driving juul's popularity, too. it's something kids want. placing photos juuling, with hash tags like #doitforjuul. >> awe call this an epidemic? >> absolutely an epidemic. never seen a tobacco-related product spread across this country as fast among young people as this product. >> reporter: a whole new generation who could end up addicted to nicotine for life. this teen started juuling in his late teens after using other e-cigarettes and tells us now he can't quit. >> it's impossible. the more i use, the more i need to use, the harder to stop and

quit. >> reporter: also pointing to juul's early social media marketing they say echoed prior big tobacco campaigns with youthful images and bright colors. the company insistence it never targeted kids and was caught unprepared. >> the company small and the product took off very fast and we had to scale everything in the company extremely quickly and still, frankly, working on it today. >> reporter: at a certain point people say now you're not that anymore. isn't there more you could do? once addicted, most are addicted for life? >> more we need to do. >> reporter: juul is spending $30 million on youth prevention programs and working with social media platforms to remove images of teens using the product. when we talked to the company they told us, look, we had no idea that this cass going to take off with kids and don't understand why it did. >> that's their job.

when you market a product highly addictive knowing the use of tobacco use is a longtime problem it's your responsibility. >> our objective, to a responsible player in this market. i will take the criticism we should have known. take that criticism, but we know now, we're working very hard and we are committed. >> reporter: so this is what a juul looks like and a lot of parents are not aware that this is what it looks like. sort of mimics a usb drive in ways. one other area the company gets criticism, flavors. mango, berry medley in diggs ad to tobacco flavored. you don't need flavors for adults. company disagree. lots of adults use or products say they like it. that's a pod. >> the pod, sticks in here, the actual flavor. >> one pod has as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. puff on it all day long don't

have to go to the corn to smoke a cigarette and so i use more. >> no better, do better. now that they know, see what they do. >> what they're saying. >> creme brew lulee, appealing others. >> what they say. and men having plastic surgery. look at that picture. plus house republican steve scalise returns to baseball one year after being shot of the baseball field. his teammates say he's ready to play ball. >> how's he looking out there, be honest. >> looks great. actually, he's better than he was before. so -- he's got the same range, pretty much, yeah. >> that's great. ahead, on the field with representative scalise with an update on his recovery,

recorded in another town. a world away from nashville in this studio in the clouds. >> i think that's the thing about the music. you can't quantify it and say exactly what you're trying to door but you can remove what you don't want to do. i don't want to be influenced by music row or nashville. >> why not? >> that's people chasing trends. >> reporter: what bentley created is a record by a man finally at peace with himself. he's perhaps taking a moment to look back down the mountain and reflect on where he's been. >> i don't want to change anything at all. >> you don't want to change. >> not one thing. >> no regrets? >> this is a good spot. there is a lot of gratitude and hope in this album, and bendly said that's partly inspired by stories his fans told him about mountains they're struggling with in their own lives.
