>> we're very happy for you. >> the baby is sending me on our way. >> all right. thanks for watching. good morning to our viewers in the west. it's friday, september 7th, 2018. welcome to "cbs this morning." president trump heads west, bringing his anger at "the new york times" and the anonymous senior official behind a scathing insider account. nearly 30 top officials are denying they wrote it. >> only on "cbs this morning," new lawsuits claim the ncaa failed to protect student athletes from head injuries for decades. we'll talk to the widow of a college football player suing over her husband's brain damage. >> plus, a black wisconsin teenager traveling with his wife grandmother was handcuffed after a report he was robbing her. why the family says the police explanation does not add up. and a son sets out to find his birth parents who gave him up 36 years ago.

see how that search led to a reunion that ended with a wedding. >> but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> the latest active resistance is the op-ed published in the failing "new york times." >> the president fumes over an anonymous op-ed. >> this is subversion, this is treason? is it "new york times" should >> has been charged in the 2014 hack attack of sony pictures. >> cbs in deep settlement talks with ceo moonves to exit the company. the board is offering a $100 million exit package. >> actor burt reynolds has died. he was 82 years old. >> you got a great profile. >> yes, i do, don't i, especially from the side. >> a terrifying scene in brazil as that country's presidential front-runner was stabbed. >> the candidate is expected to make a full recovery. >> an icy reception for a trump

supporter on broadway. an actor from the show "frozen" snatched a flag during the curtain call. >> the defending super bowl champion eagles defeated the falcons. >> play of the day. >> and all that matters. >> one after another, president trump's top official stepped forward to deny writing that blistering op-ed piece. >> i literally have no idea who it could be. >> on "cbs this morning." >> a marathon day of senate confirmation hearings for judge kavanaugh. >> i followed precedent. i had to follow precedent. precedent of the supreme court. this is all about precedent for me. that precedent on precedent. >> call him mr. precedent. you might even say he's the precedence of the united states. oh, come on. come on, the joke wasn't that bad. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places.

>> he said it wasn't that bad. >> well, that one didn't work. trevor noah. welcome to "cbs this morning." bianna golodryga is here at the table. we love when that happens. norah is leaving our next hour for an interview that you'll see here only on cbs this morning next week. i'm told under the threat of death, i should not say anything about the interview, right, norah? >> that's right. >> i'll be moving on. >> watch next week. >> it will be worth waiting for. >> i'm told by ryan that i should not say, but it's big. all right. >> as you can tell, gayle got a lot of sleep last night. >> yes, i'm a little punch drunk. in washington, they're singing that shaggy song "it wasn't me." the guessing game looking for an anonymous trump administration ofalho blistered the president in the pages of "the new york times." at least 28 senior officials, more than half of them from the

president's cabinet, denied writing that op-ed. >> at a rally in montana last night, the president blamed deep state operatives. even though the person is a trump appointee. he said they're working to defy the voters and are a threat to american democracy. weijia jiang is traveling with the president. she's in billings, montana. weijia, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. president trump quickly went off script while campaigning for congressional candidates here as he so often does. the president expressed a knowance over the anonymity of the op-ed because, as he put it, there's no way to discredit the author. >> look at this horrible thing that took place today. is it subversion, is it treason? >> reporter: continuing on the warpath he's paved against "the new york times" for publishing an op-ed it says was written y y a senior administration official. >> for the sake of our national security, "the new york times" should publish his name at once. i think their reporters should

go and investigate who it is. >> reporter: the anonymous piece paints a stunning picture of what the author describes as anti-trump resistance inside the white house. claiming he's among those working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. in washington, the revelation set off a wild guessing game. >> the vice president, that was my first thought. >> reporter: and a flurry of denials from the president's inner circle. >> i think it's a disgrace. >> it's not me. >> did you write that op-ed? >> no. >> reporter: nearly every cabinet member issued a statement to cross their name off the list of potential suspects. noticeably missing, attorney general jeff session, who's locked in a feud with mr. trump over his recusal in the russia investigation. the department of justice pointed instead to press secretary sarah sanders' remarks, calling the author a gutless loser, despite the claims and the explosive editorial, the president

reassured supporter he's fit for the job. >> i listened -- is he competent? i think i'm pretty competent, right? don't you think so? >> reporter: in a rare statement, first lady melania trump also slammed the op-ed, saying the writer is sabotaging the country with cowardly actions. the president urged people to vote in the midterm elections, warning that democrats want to impeach him. but he posed this question, how do you impeach somebody that's doing a great job? >> weijia jiang for us, thank you. the final day of senate hearings for supreme court nominee kavanaugh is under way. more than 2 dozen witnesses will testify today. the judiciary committee argued over confidential documents released in yesterday's hearing. one e-mail raised questions about whether he really believes roe versus wade is settled law as he testified this week. >> this has been viewed, as you

saying that you don't think roe is settled. >> in that draft letter, it was referring to t views of legal scholars, and i think my comment in the e-mail is that might be overstating the position of legal scholars. so it wasn't a technically accurate description. >> jan crawford was in those hearings and now joins us from capitol hill. jan, how did that e-mail impact the questioning of the nominee and how will it affect his status going forward? >> reporter: well, i mean, i think that kind of just showed the idea there was this confidential e-mail out there was a lot more powerful than the actual reality of what was in the e-mail. when they were released, as you saw in that exchange, kavanaugh was asked about them. he said that was the views of legal scholars. so feinstein said okay, thank you, and they moved on. the takeaway from that is really after these two days of his

testimony, democrats threw a lot of punches. but they didn't really land any. >> it was this hours th s thaho the judge sat through, judge kavanaugh. what did he do to prepare? >> reporter: well, i mean, he right away -- the next day after he was nominated, he started immersing himself in the law books and in the law. you saw the range of questions they asked. and then that worked up to questions with individual lawyers on issues to the end where he sat through four days of mock hearings with lawyers playing each of the 21 senators. there were even mock protesters. although i'm told not as many as we saw in the last two days, john. >> unprecedented number of protesters there. >> or whether they had anybody talking about spartacus. that was probably not planned. >> no, not planned either. jan, thank you. former president barack obama returns to politics today, rallying democrats ahead of the midterm elections. he'll be speaking in illinois ahead of a nationwide tour where he'll warn democrats that staying home is not an option if

they want toakeol the house of representatives. in his eulogy for senator john mccain on saturday former president offered his first public critique of america's public climate since he left office. >> our public life, our public discourse, can seem small and mean and petty. trafficking in bombast and insult. >> mr. obama will campaign for democratic candidates in california over the weekend. >> secretary of defense james mattis arrived in afghanistan overnight for a surprise visit. mattis' meeting with u.s. military commanders overseeing america's longest war. and afghan president ashraf ghani. charlie d'agata. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. on s

week of a terrorist attack that killed 20 people, but in a week a u.s. serviceman died in an insider attack that followed another attack in july. the afghan president told u.s. reporters here today preventing blue on green attacks, as they're called, is a top national priority. isis has claimed responsibility for the twin bombings in the sports center that happened on the day we arrived. u.s. forces are at the forefront of a coalition effort to train afghan forces not only to fight isis but a resurgent taliban, which has not only reclaimed territory that u.s. forces fought and died for but continued to hit targets here in the capital. the visit also coincides with a change in leadership of the u.s. military and that may usher in a change of tactics here. d'agata, inside afghanistan,

thank you. federal prosecutors have identified the man they say is behind some of the world's most destructive cyberattacks. the justice department claimed north korean programmer backed by kim jong-un's regime conducted the attacks. that includes the devastating hack of sony pictures entertainment in 2014. they got him. ben tracy filed this report from inside pyongyang, north korea, with new information on the suspect. >> reporter: the criminal conduct outlined in this case is intolerable. >> reporter: on thursday, prosecutors detailed how north korean computer programmer park jin hhyok and a team of co-conspirators committed a string of cyber attacks over the last four years. >> members of the conspiracy are responsible for some of the most damaging and most well-known cyber intrusions in history. >> reporter: according to the unsealed indictment, park and other suspects worked as part of a state-sponsored hacking team. prosecutors say they're responsible for the 2014 attack on sony pictures entertainment

in which thousands of employee e-mails, social security numbers and financial records were leaked. the hack cost sony least $15 million. >> want to go kill kim jong-un? >> totally, i'd louvre love to kim jong-un. >> reporter: believing that was in retaliation for the film "the interview. "park and his team also allegedly stole $81 million from a bank in bangladesh and are charged with unleashing the wannacry virus last year, which attacked computers in 150 countries in a major extortion scheme. >> they're extremely unpredictable. >> reporter: eric chien is with sell men tech, one of the firms that pointed the finger at north korea. >> the servers, all the tools, are now compromised. they have to basically start from the ground up and rebuild their capabilities again. don't expect them to stop. >> all right, ben tracy, thank

you. it is unclear if president trump has raised the issue of cyberattacks directly with kim jong-un. instead, he has been focused on trying to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons. the attorneys general of new york and new jersey are expanding their investigations of sex abuse inside the roman catholic church. this follows a scathing report in pennsylvania released last month. it accused more than 300 priests of attacking more than 100 children. similar inquiries are under way in new mexico, missouri and illinois. nikki battiste spoke to four sisters who say they were abused by the same priest. this is quite an emotional interview they gave you. >> unbelievable. good morning. church officials in new york and new jersey say they've been cooperating with law enforcement for some time now and pledged to do so with their state ags. the four sisters who are sharing their story with the nation for the first time say the intensifying scrutiny is overdue. >> it is literal torture, soul

murdering torture. every day. >> reporter: the sisters, theresa, patty, lara and carolyn say their family pastor preyed on each of them. carolyn was not even 2 years old when she says father augustine giella began abusing her. >> every day of my life, i think about running my car into a pole or off of a bridge. >> reporter: what was the extend of your abuse? >> for me, it's the fear of what i haven't discovered yet because i have vivid memories so i know there's some time where i can't remember. >> my niece actually found a box that had some pornography in it and nude photos of carolyn. >> reporter: their parents reported the photos which were found in giella's resident to the diocese in 1992. at the time, its former bishop who knew about giella's

predatory behavior, according to the grand jury report, was in line to become cardinal. the families say their were pressured to accept settlements from the church. >> we all felt like we were alone because we couldn't talk about this. >> because of the settlement? >> because of the gag order. >> reporter: new york attorney general barbara underwood just announced she would investigate the alleged church cover-up. the new jersey attorney general opened up a new task force to look at allegation there is. >> nobody should have to live with this. >> reporter: what is your hope? >> my hope is the catholic church is no longer silent. that they will open up the floodgates of the secret archives and just bring justice to these people, these monsters. >> reporter: father giella was arrested in 1992 and confessed

to police but died while awaiting trial. the diocese apologized to the sisters, telling cbs news those in positions failed to protect children from giella. >> it's so disturbing. soul murdering torture. that was tough to hear. >> their strength is unbelievable. >> faith is supposed to help you not feel alone and she said we felt like we were all alone. devastating. thank you so much. tributes are pouring in for burt reynolds. he died yesterday at age 82. a family member calls his death totally unexpected despite a series of health issues. oscar winner sally fields who dated him for five years says reynolds will be in my heart for as long as i live.

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west, it's friday, september 7, 2008. dozens of high-ranking officials deny writing the op-ed rocking the white house. ahead usa today susan page on why she says we're headed toward not one but two constitutional crises. parents brought them together for a lifetime. first, here's today's eye >>ener at 8:00. s fa tessi game looking for the name of an anonymous trump administration official. the president expressed annoyance. as he put it, there's no way to discredit the author. >> the takeaway from these last

two days of his testimony democrats threw a lot of punches. but they didn't really land any. >> the defense secretary's business here comes on the heels of a new terrorist attack, but a u.s. serviceman who died in an insider attack. >> church officials in new york and new jersey, cooperating for a long time. the four sisters sharing the story say the intensifying scrutiny is overdue. >> burt reynolds had an impact few celebrities will ever match. he had the swagger that was admired by both his fans and co-stars. >> the president's second u.s. supreme court pick. >> cory booker was ready to risk expulsion by putting out confidential e-mails. >> yeah. >> so bring it. >> whoo, bring it, yeah. this isn't just a senate, baby, bring it, this is the ufc-span committee confidential

smackdown, two men enter, democracy exits. i'm john dickerson with gayle king and bianna golodryga, norah is on assignment, president trump campaigns in the dakotas today and it's a safe bet we will hear more about the anonymous attacks of an mon nice member of his administration. the president slammed the person who wrote a "new york times" article during a rally in montana last night. he called the author gutless and said it was a threat to the country. >> at least 28 officials, including the vice president, the first lady, and members of the cabinet have denied they wrote that op-ed. hardly the first search for a high-profile anonymous official in washington. a 1974 wall street journal article detailed the hunt for deep throat, the source who provided information about the watergate scandal. >> the paper wrote mark felt says he isn't now, nor has he ever been deep throat. in 1974 felt told the journal i'm just not that kind of person.

the former top fbi official revealed he was deep throat in 2005. >> usa today's washington bureau chief susan page joins us now. good morning, susan. >> reporter: good morning, john. >> you think not one, but two possible constitutional crises may be in the offing here, why is that? >> reporter: well, i think we have the report from the "new york times" op-ed from the bob woodward book, and we have the coverage from this white house of a president who's erratic, mercurial, who his own staff doesn't trust. that raises questions about his fitness for office. but you also have the picture of what bob woodward calls an administrative coup d'etat, u unelected, unaccountable officials undermining decisions

made by the duly elected president trump. >> which constitutional crisis you worry about more? probably depends on what you think about president trump. >> how, susan, do you run a railroad when this is going on? what does this do to the process of -- if it's already chaotic inside, and there's been a lot of reporting about that, how do things change now? >> you know, i don't think our railroad is running very smoothly down a track at the moment. we have a town, a capital that is pretty much transfixed by controversies, daily controversies over the white house and the president. it's really an extraordinary situation when you have the vice president and almost every member of the cabinet feeling compelled to issue denials that they portrayed the president as someone who is unfit to serve. that's extraordinary. >> susan, listen, i have a couple questions, can you imagine any scenario that thumon number two, how does a white house team function when there's such a lack of trust amongst itself? how do you see that working? >> well, the white house staff has some loyalists who the president trusts. but it is not, in fact, a white house staff that works in the traditional way of earlier white houses.

there's not a lot of trust. i've got to say the events of just the past couple days is likely to erode whatever trust there has been on the white house staff, particularly with the president and his sense of faith that those around him are not leaking negative stories about him. that's got to be tough. >> susan, you know, there's an erosion of trust in our industry as well as journalists, a big debate as to whether "the new york times" should have printed this anonymous op-ed at all. how soon do you expect that we will find out who the author was, and how much pressure is on the "new york times" to up the ante and make sure this really was a high-level official? >> so, again, this depends on where you stand. do people have trust in the "new york times," they believe they wouldn't have described this person as a senior administration official if he or she had not been that. but we've seen this great erosion, as you say, in the news media. one of the things that contributes to the current state of turmoil across the country, a

lot of americans don't know who to trust, who do believe when these controversies come up. >> president's nominee for the supreme court seems to be going through that process, on his way to the second successful result. when you step back and look at it, despite the turmoil, the president and his party are getting what they want. >> you may worry about whether the government is functional, whatever happens with president trump, he could be impeached tomorrow, his impact on this nation is going to be set in a big way assuming he wins this second confirmation for the supreme court, and to the seat that has been the swing vote. >> all right, susan page, thank you very much, always good to see you. >> thank you. cbs corporation is negotiating the possible exit of ceo les moonves after allegations of sexual misconduct. that is part of talks to settle a larger legal dispute between cbs and its largest shareholder national amusements. moonves is being offered a $100 million exit package, the employment contract includes a

dramatically increasing. overdoses killed more than 72,000 people last year. it's become the leading cause of death for americans urn theage -- under the age of 50. we told you yesterday about angela kennecke, an affiliate with cbs. she lost her own daughter to the opioid epidemic just four months ago. kennecke returned to work this week and felt an obligation to share her story with viewers that the opioid epidemic has hit home and in a tragic way for me personally. on may 16th, my 21-year-old daughter emily died f an overdose. >> angela kennecke spoke to her daughter for your the last time on mother's day. >> go, emily. >> go, emily. >> reporter: emily struggled with addiction for more than a year. angela tried to get her treatment, but said she was too late. >> i got a frantic call from her dad saying, i think.

-- emily's o.d.'d. you have to getover here right now. i can't describe what it's like to hear those words. >> emily overdosed on fentanyl in may. >> before her addiction crushed her real self, everyone who knew her was amazed by her gregarious personality. >> after a few months off, angela returned to news desk to share her story in hopes of saving lives. news director bess jensen said she knew angela's story would resonate. >> the way she told that story was so authentic, it's already making a difference. and this crusade of angela's is now a crusade of the station's and it's going to be in our dna for a long time. >> angela kennecke wants to help addiction. she joins us now. angela, thank you so much. i'm so sorry you're here at the

table for this reason. i wonder as a local news anchor why you decided to share it so publicly. was it a struggle for you to make this decision? >> i took a few months off to kind of cope what happened to me. i thought i can let this loss, this devastation destroy me or do something about it. and over the course of my career i have asked so many parents to talk to me and just people in general who are grieving who have had horrible tramgic things happen to them as you have. i thought, i have to talk about it. i have an obligation to talk about. my number one reason for talking about it is to erase the stigma that is surrounding the stigma of especially the use of heroin, opioids. >> you had no idea. this is what i marvel at. you said you all were close, you knew she had some drug adidict n addictions with marijuana. but you as an investigative

reporter had no idea. >> it was shocking to me. needles. middle-class kid, privileged, all the opportunities. it's hard to skplachb texplain addiction. my daughter ran out of the doctor's office once when she was going to get a shot, so i nerve dreamed it. but because it's hit home in such an awful devastating way, i just feel so compelled to let everybody know what happened to my daughter can happen to you, can happen to your child. we all have children at this table. >> was she just so good at hiding it from you? how were you able not to know that she was on heroin? >> so she was an adult child, 21 years old, not living at home. i thought she was on something, and i don't consider myself a naive person. i worked in thengtime. cover a t hihis from meery thin ach don want your parents to be ashamed of you, and there is so much shame that goes along with this. you don't want to disappoint

your parents. and i had to walk a very fine line between trying to help her, trying the talk to her and alienating her or pushing her away. so i was always trying to push it with love. we were working to get her help, but i didn't get there on time. >> angela, when you look back and talk to other parents, have you found -- what have you found that might have been either a gateway or something or is it a mystery? >> she was attracted to the drug culture, i think, in her later teen years. as parents we can isolate or insulate our children from these kinds of things. we do all kinds of things to protect them, but after a certain point parents don't have much influence and peers have a lot more influence. your kids get in -- it's so cliche with the wrong crowd and wrong people and maybe they have a tendency toward that kind of thing, an addictive gene,

personality, and it snowballs. >> it's indiscriminate. you said you spent so many times talking to families that are suffering through this. you went from asking why me to why not me. and that's something families across the country are asking as well. talk about the stigma of going from kwhwhy me to why not me? >> it's always me reporting on someone else. it's already somebody else's tragedy or triumph. >> you were talking with women on it the day your daughter died. >> i was. i was working on a story of the opioid epidemic and i spoke to three parents on that day. i knew my daughter had a problem and on that day we were planning an intervention. i just didn't know what it was she was using. i think we need so much more awareness. we judgment, compassion. i'm trying to do what i can to make changes in my own community

back home to get people the help that they need. and that's all really i can do with this. >> it's so important. >> your advice is if you suspect, get in there and say something. you say you were planning an intervention and you got in too late. trust your instincts. they very seldom fail you. angela, thank you so much. we're sorry you're here under these circumstances. for more information and to learn more about emily's hope, go to our website. that's information you can get. millions of americans take probiotics to boost their gut health. dr. david agus is in the toyota green room. we'll ask about research where treatment may be the wrong medicine. you're watching "cbs this morning."

i said that for mom and dad. >> you have 30 feet of gi tract, bianna, and there are thousands of different bacteria in you, so taking a couple of bacteria in that kefir is probably altering that landscape. they took bacteria out of the entire 30 feet, the first down, if you will, the first ten yards of the gi tract and looked at these bacteria. when you took just probiotics, most of the time they went through you, sometimes they stayed, but a couple of bacteria would dominate. then they did the amazing study to give antibiotics and the probiotics. these couple of bacteria started to dominate the gi tract and it delayed the normal bacteria from coming back. so it's not just it does no harm. it could actually delay recovery from antibiotics, which wipe out

all the bacteria. >> so it's not to say that the harm is related to, if you're taking it at the same time as you're taking antibiotics which a lot of us are told to do. >> yeah, that's what we think is antibiotics wipe out bacteria. probiotics are pills of live bacteria that put what we call beneficial bacteria in. but there are a few of the thousands of species in that same study, and i know this is tough to do on morning television, but i'm going to do it. they took the normal bacteria out of an individual and made a pill of their own bacteria and gave them to these people and those people recovered in days versus up to six months when they took the probiotics. we're going to have personalized pills of bacteria going forward. that's what's going to be exciting. >> what is the -- what does the study say if anything about people who take it when they're not taking antibiotics, because gut health has been everywhere and this has been talked about a lot. what does the study say about it? >> gut health is tremendously important, the data are right, it controls your brain, your

immune system, what you absorb from food, diabetes, all of those. but a simple pill isn't a quick fix to gut health. we all want that quick thing, let me get better quickly. the problem is, is there's complexity here. we're starting to learn this, president obama announced the human micro biome announced a study in 2015. so what we're learning is there's 10-fold bacteria there than human cells. there's complexity there. so it's going to take a little while, but gut health is going to be a way we prevent disease and treat disease in the future. but the simple fix of probiotics is out the window. >> no simple fixes. you're a killjoy. now i have to be the killjoy, that's all the time we have, thank you, doctor. a man to set out to find his birth parents ended up playing matchmaker. martin schmidt's biological mother and father had not spoken since high school. they put him up for adoption 32 years ago. we spoke with all three of them about their unique love story. >> good morning, martin schmidt knew he was adopted but it wasn't until he found out he was
