welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off so bianna golodryga is with us. a little bit of dinner theater there for baseball. a hurricane is closing in on hawaii. hurricane lane is 180 miles from hawaii's big island. and packing winds of 130 miles an hour. >> the storm is expected to get dangerously close to the big island and maui later today. mir rhea villarael is in maui. >> reporter: there is a state of emergency on hawaii's big island. we also know as of right now, all of the public schools have been canceled through the rest of the week. honolulu has 150 fema emergency responders ready to go at a moment's notice. but across hawaii, it has been a race against this storm. >> we do not want to see what happened in puerto rico. and we do that by making sure we're prepared.

>> reporter: honolulu mayor kirk caldwell warned hawaiian wednesday to take hurricane lane seriously. it threatens to bring catastrophic flooding, monstrous surf and powerful winds. >> we've been preparing for this, we'll be ready for this and we'll be working on the recovery response mode should the worst occur. >> reporter: satellites images taken from space show the massive storm churning in the pacific ocean. government scientists released this video as they flew into the eye of the hurricane. >> i think it's going to be something we never experienced before. >> reporter: people on the islands rushed to get supplies. filling up grocery carts and emptying store shelves. also placing sandbags in an effort to prevent flooding. it's been a summer of destruction on hawaii's big island where the kilauea volcano destroyed more than 700 homes sincnce may. up to two feet of rain could now hit that same region and potentially deadly flooding and mudslides are a major concern.

the only hurricane to make landfall in state recorded history is hurricane iniki, category 4, in september 1992. there was more than $1 million in damage. maui's mayor said they haven't faced add hurrica d a hurricane magnitude before. >> this is the most serious potential that i've seen, and i've been alive 63 years. >> reporter: in the last 24 hours, i have personally seen a lot of the wind and rain picking up in this area. the u.s. navy has moved their ships and submarines out to sea and away from the storm's path. this is the kesecond major stor to threaten the hawaiian islands in the last two weeks and hurricane lane is also closer and more powerful than the last storm which was hurricane hector. bianna. >> you hear the mayor say they want to avoid another puerto rico. really telling there. mireya villarael, thank you. chief weathercaster lonnie quinn

of our cbs station wcbs is tracking the storm. >> good morning, everybody. let's give you the latest information. it's still a category 4 but just barely a category 4. 130 mile per hour winds. moving to the west at 7 miles per hour. the distance is 230 miles to the south-southwest. the forecast cone as of right now only has the western hawaiian islands in the cone. but at that point in time, it's going to be either a two or a one, so this is not going to be a major hurricane. a 3, a 4 or a 5 making a landfall in hawaii. let me show you why this is still going to be historic. this red dot shows you the hurricane force winds. that's where the eye of the storm is. we don't think this is coming on shore but what it's doing is paralleling the island. if the eye goes over the island, you at least get a two, three hour break. with this scenario, they never get that break from the rain. yes, the eye brings the heaviest winds but you get rain, rain and more rain.

the entire event, 2, maybe 2 1/2 feet of rain. we do think this is going to be historic. john, let's get back to you. >> all right, lonnie, thank you. the killing of mollie tibbett s is reuniting calls by some republicans for tough border protection. university of iowa student disappeared on july 18th while out for a jog. police say rivera confessed and led them to her body on tuesday. adriana diaz is at the counter courthouse in montezuma, iowa. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. rivera had his appearance in court where his charges and rights were read to him. i was in the courtroom and you could feel the emotion from people on both sides. those there for tibbetts, those there for rivera. peopled in gallery had their head in their hands in tears. wearing handcuffs and headphones for spanish translation,

24-year-old christian rivera made his first appearance before a judge and the public for his arrest for allegedly killing mollie tibbetts. >> you have been charged with murder in the first degree. >> reporter: rivera's from mexico and federal officials tell cbs news he's undocumented. >> a person came in from mexico illegally and killed her. we need the wall. we need our immigration laws changed. we need our border laws changed. >> reporter: president trump was part of a growing chorus of republicans yesterday to cite tibbetts case as a reason for stronger immigration laws. llen, who in court papers claims rivera's here legally, says those comments could hinder his client's right to a fair trail. >> the government has weighed in at the highest level of a predisposition that this young man, christian, is guilty, but in our system of justice, he's entitled to that presumption of

innocence. >> reporter: the owners of yarrabee farms, the dairy farm where rivera worked for four years, say he's a good employee. >> this is shocking. >> reporter: dan lang, part of a well-known republican political family here, claims rivera gave them government i.d.s with a different name. he also says they used the wrong government screening system to verify his employment eligibility. >> what we learned in the last 24 hours is that our employee was not who he said he was. >> reporter: given political debate on facebook, mollie tibbe tibbetts' aunt wrote, please remember, evil comes in every cover. the suspect, rivera, will appear back in court august 31st. >> all right, thank you. president trump says any attempt to impeach him will have consequences. me candl, houan peacboho's aeat.

i'll tell you what, if i ever got impeached, i think the market would crash. >> we'll talk more about the impeachment debate shortly. in that fox news interview, the president also says he didn't know about michael cohen paying stormy daniels and karen mcdougal until later on. and that the money was his. the president also tweeted after 1:00 a.m. eastern, no collusion, rigged witch hunt. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. republican reaction on capitol hill has been a bit wobbly and we're told large republican donors, big money donors are alarmed. in the face of that, president trump is trying to calm the turbulent legal waters. with yet another explanation about hush money payments made in the heat of the 2016 campaign. legal experts tell us mr. trump's assertion that he's in the clear because those payments came from his own funds as opposed to campaign funds doesn't necessarily put him in the clear.

>> they weren't taken out of campaign finance. >> reporter: president trump repeatedly said secret payments from former attorney michael cohen to two women who alleged affairs with mr. trump do not violate federal campaign laws because they came from mr. trump's personal funds. >> they didn't come out of the campaign. they came from me. >> reporter: cohen, who has turned against the president, told a federal court he paid daniels, quote, in coordination with and at the direction of then candidate trump to influence the election. thereby confessinging to a violation of election law. >> they didn't come out of the campaign. and that's big. >> reporter: the president's claim also contradicts this denial in april when he said he knew nothing about cohen's payment to adult film star stormy daniels. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no, no. >> reporter: back in may, mr. trump acknowledged that cohen was reimburse ed through monthly retainer to stop what he called false accusations about a more than decade-old affair.

now the president claims he knew only after the fact. >> did you know about the payments? >> later on i knew, later on. >> reporter: which also contradicts what was captured in a secret recording by cohen when he discussed with mr. trump one of payments to former playboy model karen mcdougal before the payment was made. >> so, what do we got to pay for this? >> reporter: white house press secretary sarah sanders said the president was not worried. >> he knows that he did nothing wrong and that there was no collusion. >> reporter: sources tell us republican donors are divided over the president's legal woes. small money donors, part of the fiercely loyal trump base, remain just that, fiercely loyal and continue to pump money into party coffers. however, big money donors are described as angry and confused and that could hurt midterm fund-raising. all republicans a degree the party will need resources it can find in a tough midterm political environment. >> major, thank you. fascinating to hear the president even talking about the

possibility of impeachment. i mean, taking a moment, just to pause that and take that in. >> that question about whether he could be impeached and the consequences of it. >> how far we've come. >> in play now because he's nailnail being named in the plea documents. >> exactly. well, new york state tax officials want to speak with michael cohen about another potential legal scandal. cohen was sent a subpoena yesterday to testify in the ongoing investigation of the trump foundation. new york state filed the lawsuit in june, alleging that the president used foundation funds for personal and business matters including a $10,000 painting of himself. >> before the president talked members of congress from both parties said it's too early to think about it. the senate democrats are using cohen's plea bargain to try to delay the confirmation hearings for the president's supreme court nominee, judge brent kavanaugh.

nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. for political reason, democrats are steering clear of that word, "impeachment." but not steering clear of the word "delay." one democrat, mazio hirono was scheduled to sit down with kavanaugh today but she canceled, saying now is not the time to extend that courtesy to a president who is living under a legal cloud. >> what cloud with you talking about? >> reporter: republicans say the preside president's legal woes have nothing to do with his supreme court pick. >> i don't get the connection. >> reporter: democrats are looking for any way to slow things down. >> this nomination is now tainted. >> we should be withholding this decision on the supreme court nominee until the air's cleared and we know exactly where we stand when it comes to this president and his culpability. >> reporter: there's one term democrats shied away from wednesday. do you think this rises to the

level of impeachment? >> i think we want answers from the investigation. >> i think impeachment talk is something that is not something we should be engaging in right now. >> reporter: democratic leaders from pelosi on down insist that impeachment is not a priority. they're wary of whipping up the gop base with it 1/2 mon2 1/2 mo before the midterm elections. >> it's a watergate moment. >> reporter: richard blumenthal was the only one willing to go there. >> every remedy including indictment should be on the table. >> i don't think he can be indicted while sitting in office. >> reporter: utah republican hatch voted to impeach president bill clinton in 19 the 99 after he lied under oath to cover up an affair. does any senator who supported impeaching president clinton need to think seriously about impeaching president trump? >> not at this point, but, i mean, we have to take these matters very seriously.

>> reporter: he was one of just a handful of republicans to say that michael cohen's plea deal poses potentially a serious problem for the president. others downplayed the charges or said they're waiting for more information. but a top gop aide told me behind the scenes, senate republicans are more uncomfortable now than they have ever been with some of the president's practices before he took office and while in the oval office. norah. >> really interesting to hear all those voices, nancy, thank you so much. the first juror in paul manafort's trial to speak out says prosecutors almost got the 18 guilty verdicts they wanted. paula duncan tells fox news one juror caused a mistrial on ten of the charges against the president's former campaign chairman. manafort was convicted of the the other eight counts not related to the campaign. duncan says jurors could not convince that one holdout. >> we laid it out in front of her again and again and she

still said that she had a reasonable doubt. the evidence was overwhelming. i did not want paul manafort to be guilty, but he was. and no one's a bbove the law. >> the mueller team, what it you make of the prosecutors? >> well, at times, i thought the prosecution was a little bored. i mean, i saw them napping during the trial. >> duncan, a self-described trump supporter, says the trial was fair and political bias did not influence any of the jurors. republican congressman duncan hunter says charges of spending more than $250,000 in campaign funds on personal expenses are nothing but politics. hunter and his wife are scheduled to appear in court this morning. in his first comment on the case, the california congressman accused the justice department and republican attorney general jeff sessions of acting as a law enforcement arm for democrats. >> the most political folks in the u.s. attorney's office here

that attended a hillary clinton fund-raiser before they dropped the charges on me two years ago. you have partisan biased department of justice employees that are doing it to trump, they're doing it to me. >> hunter and his wife allegedly used campaign money to pay for utility bills, school tuition and international travel. he says they are excited to go to trial. >> now, new audio recording released by islamic state suggests its leader, abu al baghdadi, may still be alive. it's reportedly al baghdadi's first reporting in over a year. it is undated but there are references to recent events. the speaker talks about tensions in u.s. relations with russia and turkey, saying america is going through the worst time in its entire existence. al baghdadi has not been seen in public since the appearance in the iraq city of mosul in 2014. a new scandal rocks the famous citadel military college in south carolina. we were there yesterday after an officer was charged with

each juncture i gave zach smith the benefit of the doubt. athletic director gene smith apologized for mismanaging allegations that former assistant coach zach smith abused his now ex-wife courtney. investigators determined that meyer and the athletic director failed to report the claims and seemed to misunderstand their obligation to tell the university about accusations of domestic violence involving players or staff. >> i have huge regret for my inability to be the effective leader i should have been in this situation. >> reporter: urban meyer fired zach smith last month after his ex-wife was granted a domestic violence protective order against him. >> was never told about anything. never anything came to light. never had a conversation about it.bout a 2015 incident. smith allegedly abused his then wife. the investigation determined he did, but his, quote, significant

few minutes while they ran errands in the '80s, and so it didn't feel unsafe. obviously i wanted to make sure that the conditions were safe in terms of it not being hot or anything like ually be. one interesting statistic i found in writing the book was that, for example, it would actually take statistically on average 750,000 years for a child left in a public space to be abducted or kidnapped, but

that is something parents worry about all the time, stranger danger, whereas 487 children on average are injured or killed in just car accidents every single day. that's something we don't think about a lot. >> so this anxiety causes us to bubble wrap our children and what is the downside of doing that, making them live in this world in which they can engage in nothing that might cause them a paper cut? >> the problem is that a lot of what children actually need to learn developmentally, they have to learn by doing some things on their own, by having some freedom and independence, things like resiliency, problem-solving, just learning to sort of navigate the world. we don't do these things if our parents or if adults are doing everything for us. the other thing i learned that was really interesting is that psychologists say one of the things that actually makes people happiest in the world is having what they call an internal locus of control, which

means that you, as a person, get to decide how you spend your time, what you do with your time, and when the psychologist told me this, i thought, my god, children must not be very happy these days because the one thing we don't give them is that opportunity to decide what they do with their time. >> what did you learn about how mothers and fathers are held to a different parenting standard? >> i do think that this sort of thing does happen to fathers, but what i found is that i think a lot of times when people see a father doing something, even if they don't approve of exactly what they're doing there's a sense of good for him, for being with the kids, you know, and baby sitting and giving mom a break. i talked to one woman, julie kaler who had a similar thing happen to her. her husband had done almost the identical thing the year before and the cop who came to the scene said, i don't know how hard it is to be with the kids and kind of let him go. the other problem is that, you know, because in this country, because women still,

unfortunately, do more than their fair share of the child care and the domestic work, anything that hurts parents or makes things harder for parents will disto portionately affect women. >> kim brooks you raised a lot of interesting questions and brought some research to light. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. today's "cbs this morning" podcast brandon webb discusses height, flying and starting a new career, "mastering fear" you can hear his thoughts on our podcast availa like to download your podcasts. you're watching "cbs this morning."
