wins, as the president called it, in the elections in doubt by the timing of those charges. the president tweeted ironically good job, jeff. federal prosecutors indicted congressman duncan hunter last month on charges that included using campaign funds for personal expenses. that followed insider trading charges against new york congressman chris collins. both men say they're innocent and will fight the charges in court. both men also of course supported the president. this is extraordinary. not only is the president not supposed to pressure his attorney general to make political decisions but what jan reported on is the big debate, which is about what's the basic foundation of american law. that is the law falls equally on all people. the president is arguing for two people, not that they're innocent, but that they should not be investigated merely because they're republicans. that means put the party above the law. it's an extraordinary thing. this is not just any old tweet. >> yes, there have been a lot of extraordinary things.
7:12 am
i wonder how jeff sessions must be feeling. last year he said the president hurt his feelings when the president criticized him. i can't imagine what he must be thinking now, where he's getting a steady barrage of constant insults. >> i think he's just waiting to be fired. that's what i think he's thinking. >> he doesn't seem to be thinking about stepping down, that's for sure. russia's conducting air strikes on last major rebel-held area in syria after a pause of more than three weeks. the strikes are hitting sections of a province in northwestern syria. they come after a warning from president trump that attacks would be a grave humanitarian mistake. monitoring fighting from istanbul, dobora, good morning. >> reporter: the air strikes come just after president trump tweeted his warning. russia says they're in retaliation for weaponized drone attacks yesterday. they come as syria's bracing

7:16 am
memo, the nbc news chairman defended the network, writing, we had nothing yet fit to broadcast. but farrow did not agree with that standard. farrow claims monday his story on weinstein was twice cleared and deemed reportable by legals and standards, only to be blocked by executives. >> i had spent months and months in rooms with executives saying this is not a story, you know, pack it up. >> reporter: two months after leaving nbc, farrow published his pulitzer prized winning weinstein report in the new yorker. saying in a memo nbc wondered then whether the brave women would have also sat before tv cameras and lights. in a statement to "the new york times" monday night, weinstein accuser emily nester said she and another woman were willing to go on the record for the network. she said that portions of the nbc memo were despicable and dripping with ko inping with ca.

♪ wake me up before you go go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo ♪ more than 3 million students in california could soon wake up to a later start time at school. state lawmakers passed a bill last week that would require middle and high school students statewide to start no earlier than 8:30 in the morning. most schools start at 8:00 a.m. california's governor has until the end of the month to decide if he will sign the bill into law. the cdc says five out of six middle and high schools in the united states starts before 8:30 and sleep deprivation for students is a common problem around the country. 60% of middle schoolers and 70% of high schoolers do not get the recommended amount of sleep. i feel your pain. that has potentially damaging effects on their health and learning. dr. carol ash is a sleep expert with robert wood johnson barnabus health in new jersey and joins us at the table. good to see you again.
8:19 am
i know with this schedule, five minutes makes a difference sometimes in the morning, but what does the research show about a difference that half an hour could make? >> it makes a huge difference, and i hope he signs this bill. all the research points to that delayed school start time could have a big impact on middle school children and adolescents. when they don't get the sleep they need, it can cause poor academic performance, drowsy driving, depression, loneliness, social isolation, addictive behaviors, and weight gain, obesity and hypertension. so, it has a significant health and mental impact on our children. >> so the question would be, just have them go to bed earlier. >> adolescents, the middle school and high school children, their brains are different. so melatonin gets released later in children, and also the pressure to fall asleep is less. so it's harder for them to fall asleep at night. so they can't go to bed earlier. just physiologically different. >> so it's about the rhythms of their circadian rhythms, more
8:20 am
than specific times or hours of sleep. >> well, the scircadian rhythms are important, they have a different one than we do, but the amount is important, too. if you're going to bed later because your physiology forces that, then you're getting up earlier, you're not getting the sleep you need. >> what's advice you have for parents who say i know this is true, i can totally see it in my kids, but how can i help them get more sleep? >> what you can do is stick to a regular schedule. you want to make sure they're getting up at the same time on the weekends and weekdays because that will set the circadian rhythm, believe it or not. and if they're having problems with not -- >> john's eyes are popping out of his head because he's like, getting teens to not sleep in is impossible! >> especially on the weekends! they wake up for dinner, if we're lucky, on weekends. >> it's hard, but it's the one thing we can change. so, if you can control that schedule, it's really important. and you know, as we go to bed at night, take away the electronics, make sure, try and get them to bed earlier. don't let them, you know, sit up
8:21 am
on the phone texting their friends. that's a problem. >> have you met a teenager, dr. ash? put your phone away, okay. get up earlier on the weekend, okay. i've heard some people say this is an economic issue. have you heard that? what does that mean? >> yes. they'll say, even the california school board argued that it's a luxury that working families and families with hardships cannot afford. and i would say absolutely reverse. they argued it's $10 million a year for extra school buses to get these kids back and forth. we can come up with creative ideas. we can use public transportation. the cost of sleep lost is astronomical. it's costing billions of dollars. again, poor academic performance, absenteeism in school. and federally funded dollars are attached to the absenteeism rates. so if kids are not showing up at school, they're going to get less dollars. so they really need to focus on changing those. >> and as this health issue. as a doctor, you're saying you hope they change it because it is such a health issue that i
8:22 am
think people are just now starting to understand how important this is. >> the newer theories and research about sleep is that sleep is important for controlling the expression of your genes and controlling your social brain. so, your genes are important for the building blocks of your physiology. so when you don't sleep, you just don't feel and look different, you are different physiologically. >> we've talked about it a lot on this show. i think one of the things that stuck in my head, too, is someone said remember that your body is repairing itself while it sleeps. it's like a trash can, too, for your brain. so, thank you. >> exactly. >> good reminder as we start the school year. get to bed early. thank you, dr. carol ash. the second astronaut to land on the moon, buzz aldrin, what he thinks about the outcry of whether the american flag is shown enough in the movie. we'll delve into that. you're watching "cbs this morning."

8:34 am
what's your response to that? >> well, you know, the president -- i'm really not going to get into a back and forth on tweets. i could give him a nickname, agent orange or something and i could get back and forth but it doesn't take you anywhere. the president uses tweets as a weapon of mass distraction and expose the world to a tension of mass destruction by pulling out after a deal that everybody in the world supports. so i'd rather stay on the substance because he wants to distract it and get into a fight. i want to stay on the real thing. >> but let's not miss his points. he hopes you run because he believes he could beat you is what he's saying. >> nothing he says you can believe. let's not even get into that. what is important is frankly in my book i layout the challenge to our country. it's not a policy book. that's what is important. it's the story of a life that

citizen. not democrats and republicans but the american citizens to decide how they respond to that and we're lucky to have somebody as qualified as bob mueller to take on this task. >> you talk a lot about the truth in your book. may i mention it? every day is extra. >> please, hold it up. >> it's more than just policy. it's very anecdotal. when you push for the truth people invested in lies retaliate. but the truth is worth fighting for. >> of course it's happening today. in fact, we have a party that regrettably has turned it's back to some degree on the truth and i think it's very very regrettable. >> meaning the republican party? >> the republican party and the senate particularly, but also in the house. truth has less currency than it should have in a democracy of our quality. truth is the essence and you have baseline of facts.
8:38 am
you need to be able know what the facts are. we have entered a new period of life. i saw it in my campaign. nora, you remember, the attacks against me were so that the beginning of alternative facts and now we see this on a regular basis. facts don't apparently matter to some people. i believe they matter to the american people. john mccain believed they mattered to the american people. john was always ready to tell the truth. and i think the last days have been a reminder of that value that is so important to america and i write about it. i have a whole chapter in the book about john mccain and our journey together. >> you said you flirted but never dated. at one point you considered running together. >> we had a couple of serious conversations about it and it obviously didn't happen. john, evidently liked the idea because he then thought about it with respect to joe lieberman in the next round.
8:39 am
but it wasn't doable but the spirit was there and what's important is john stood up for the truth during that campaign too. and again, when john was attacked in south carolina, i read about this in the book, you know, chuck hagel, republican, bob carey, the vietnam veterans came together to defend john mccain against these attacks which were made up and without facts. so the book is a defense of our country. but it's done in a way that's very personal. i'm as candid as i can be about my life. >> can we talk about north korea? because as you know that's probably one of the -- that is considered by our intelligence experts the greatest national security threat facing our country right now. what is wrong with talking with kim jong un and the president meeting with him? >> absolutely nothing wrong. i'm a great believer in reaching out and engaging and talking but you have to do so with a
8:40 am
strategy. you have to do so based on facts and you have to not raise expectations on yourself in a way that defeats your goal. he gave kim jong un the meeting he and his father and grandfather always wanted without getting the intrusive inspection or accountability that you need for his weapons. and that still hasn't happened but donald trump stood up in singapore and said oh, it's all good now. the issue has gone away. there's no nuclear threat, when, in fact, our intelligence community is saying there's a greater threat today than there was before he had his meeting. >> but that's just one gamete. it doesn't work and it's back to where they were but he got the missile testing stopped and a meeting of the two countries that was some progress. he got everything on track. >> the missile testing right now is a matter of common sense for kim jong un. if he were missile testing now
8:41 am
he would invite a war. he knows that. but he reached a level in his weapon weaponry that the threat has grown and he's not denuclearizing. that was the goal. but there's been not only no denuclearization, but not even a common understanding of what it means. now in my book, i try not to get people, you know, dragged into some long policy discussion but i show how on a number of different issues, the way we did the paris accords, where we are now on climate change, climate change is a threat to our nation. >> are you thinking about running in 2020? >> no. >> at all? >> i've said again and again and it's hard to get away from that, but, i mean, i doubt very much i'll be running for office again. but i'll say this, that no one should be focused on 2020 right now. we should be focused on 2018 because the magic number for america to think about is 54.2. that was the number of eligible

voters that turned out to vote for the presidency of 2016. when i ran in '04, it was 60.4% turned out. when obama was elected in '08, it was 62.5. what we need people to engage and make a difference and in 2018 we have a chance to have a course correction and i think in my book i layout the ways people can really engage and do that. >> thank you. we are out of time but secretary kerry, thank you. >> my pleasure to be with you. >> a lot to talk about. >> a california police officer received an unexpected call to duty. that story next. that story next. ry next.

baby, baby's going to have some big problems. >> right. we didn't know what to expect. >> we didn't know. >> we knew that we were going to take her, no matter what. >> yeah. >> but we were like, is this going to be something that she is going to be hooked up to tubes the rest of her life? >> and she did go through some with drawls. she had some shaking and they were worried about some seizure. >> reporter: now they say she's hitting all the normal baby milestones and is expected to lead a healthy life. >> she's got the sweetest disposition. she's so nice, so even-cold. she's really engaged. >> she's really observant. >> she observes everything. >> she smiles all the time. >> reporter: and with permission from her new sisters -- >> yes. >> yes. >> 100% yes! >> reporter: harlow was officially adopted by the family last week.

purpose with new perspective on the job. you've got a lot of years of police work ahead of you. >> i do. >> reporter: are you going to be careful about how you deal with people? >> i think so. i don't think it's deterred me, though. i think i'm open to what relationships and connections that i make. >> i think we could just trust that whatever this line of work, wherever it takes our family, that's where we want to go. we just want to serve our community. >> obviously, i wasn't expecting this or asking for this, but i'm really glad that it happened. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, santa rosa, california. >> gentle, gentle, gentle. >> that is a great family. and you can hear more of "cbs this morning" on our podcast available on apple's podcast app or wherever you like to download your podcasts. you're watching "cbs this morning."
