4:11 am
for his brain cancer. meanwhile, there has been an outpouring of support from lawmakers here on both sides of the aisle. michelle. >> for a man with a lengthy career, errol barn et thank you at the kbhous. this morning south korea described the abrupt u.s. decision to call off mike pompeo's visit to north korea as unfortunate. president trump has been frustrated with the north over stalled talks to end the nuclear build up. he blamed china in part for lack of support for u.s. and north korean negotiations. but this morning china fired back saying it's taking a positive role in the talks. mr. trump tweeted about his decision saying, quote, i have asked secretary of state mike pompeo not to go to north korea at this time because i feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. and here to discuss that and the extraordinary week in politics is gabe debenedetti national correspondent for new york magazine gabe another quiet
4:12 am
week in the capital. >> something like that. >> yeah, i want to start with the immunity deal for allen weisselberg. we ds a man who essentially knows everything. >> yeah, it's important. your first point is important which is we don't know the extent of his cooperation or what he is willing to talk about at all. but this is a man who when you talk to people familiar with the trump oppression, the trump world overall, they always say this is the guy that you have to talk to more than michael cohen, more than in some case donald trump himself. >> and he has never been willing to talk. >> that's right. he has been a very quiet figure and a lot of people speculate that's because of loyalty to the family and loyalty to the organization. but now that he is talking there are a lot of questions about what he is willing to say and what he is willing to fork over. >> can we go to michael cohen for a second. >> yes. >> he once said he would take a bullet for the president. and now you have him entering into this deal. what's changed? a lot of people are wondering what is making the difference. >> it's one thing to say that,
4:13 am
it's another to be faced with the prospect of a legis going o he could be forced to account for. what we have seen so far of course is just a tiny thread of that with regards to this what has turned into a campaign finance violation discussion. but we haven't gotten into the overall finances of the trump organization, the trump foundation and what we saw with the initial cooperation from cohen is a suggestion that he is going to be willing to talk about a lot of things. we don't know for sure. but it seems as if he opened the door to, you know, a long time of talking. >> in the plea he specifically says for the principal purpose much influencing the election is what the grounds of he has acted on. but what does that mean in this larger probe. >> that's a good question. we don't know if it means anything with regard to the mueller investigation. >> right. >> and it probably doesn't. but what it does is directly implicates the president in a campaign finance violation very similar actually to something that happened a few years ago with john edwards when he was a
4:14 am
presidential condition. he was indicted but not found guilty. but what this is is a serious violation of the campaign finance laws. the question is you know where does this go next? that's why a lot of people are watching, you know,way the news is about who michael cohen is talking to and about what specifically. >> paul manafort meanwhile convicted on 8 of 18 counts faces a second trial in mid-september in d.c. does the conviction here on 8 of 18 counts in any way change the approach to the second trial. >> the government already looked at the manafort defense strategy for the first trial and tried to incorporate it into the way they prepare for the second one. there is no doubt that it would sort of be irresponsible for them not to do that. we don't know if manafort is going to be under more scrutiny after the second trial. but right now they're already taking all the evidence and all the public statements by the way, including from the president, who said manafort is a good man, rolling it up and that's the strategy for the next
4:15 am
one. >> you had should we interpret thats a pardon that the president feels badly for march. >> we should be careful about interpreting what the president has to say. but there is no doubt there are a lot of people around the white house and the around the president who said there might be a pardon in the moving. a lot of people around him are saying don't go there. >> what do you think the consequences of a pardon would be. >> it would be a big political consequence. there is a lot of republicans on capitol hill saying that's a prij too far. >> thanks gabe. >> thank you. lawmakers from both sides of the aisle praise senator john mccain of arizona for his political passion and bipartisan efforts throughout his career. as we reported senator mccain is battling brain cancer. on friday his family announced he will no longer receive medical treatment for the disease np jamie yuccas is in arizona with the story. jamie jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. senator john mccain did his work here in arizona within the office building behind me.

4:19 am
family. he is a hero first of all for being so transparent about it. and being a model for other patients. >> what kind of quality of life can he have at this point on? and what amount of time limit are we talking here. >> the brain is a sacred place. when anything progresses in the brain you could see symptoms very different than other places in the body. and so he is speaking with family and friends. at some point that will stop. we can control all of the pain and all of the suffering with cancer. so that the time he is awake he is actually comfortable. that's the goal as long as possible to say the goodbyes for this remarkable man with a remarkable life. >> you know, i think, doctor, i guess a lot of people look at this and wonder about their own family situations and when and how that decision should be made to stop cancer treatment. what would you say are the factor that is go into that? >> the key thing is make the decisions now. don't wait until the end. and don't let relatives have to make the decisions. so you know, engage with grace. really talk to each of your

4:27 am
where does this sense of anxiety come from you investigated in your book. >> i think there are sort of two things. one is that because we often see on the news or on the internet the stories of, you know, terrible things happening to children, even if those things that we see aren't very common or aren't statistically likely we -- those give us a sense that things are more dangerous than they might actually 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's something parents worry about all the time, stranger danger.

4:33 am
and those people do not plan on coming back. but this home was built four feet above the street level and it did not suffer any significant flood damage. houston city leaders hope that by requiring newer homes to be higher off the ground will it will lead to lower chance of residential flooding in the city. for cbs this morning saturday, omar villafranca, houston. i was down there during the flooding. and it's just -- -- not just the mental health aspect of it, but you have homes that were flooded that had mold and people are not able to tear it all out. it's just -- it was atrocious. so i would be really curious to see how the homes are doing now. >> consequences lingering a long time. all right when this car race ends, there may be cars but no drivers. still to come, an inside look at the effort to build self-driving

california years ago realized the need to work together. teamwork is important to protect the community, but we have to do it the right way. we have a working knowledge and we can reduce the impacts of a small disaster, but we need the help of experts. pg&e is an integral part of our emergency response team. they are the industry expert with utilities. whether it is a gas leak or a wire down, just having someone there that deals with this every day is pretty comforting. we each bring something to the table that is unique and that is a specialty. with all of us working together we can keep all these emergencies small. and the fact that we can bring it together and effectively work together is pretty special. they bring their knowledge, their tools and equipment and the proficiency to get the job done. and the whole time i have been in the fire service, pg&e's been there, too. whatever we need whenever we need it. i do count on pg&e to keep our firefighters safe. that's why we ask for their help.
