presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." we'll begin right away with the big story, because time is running out for people to get ready for hurricane florence. cbs evening news anchor jeff glor is standing by on coastline to lead our coverage of this potential disaster. the huge storm is now less than 24 hours from the north carolina coast. where it threatens to bring a deadly storm surge and record amounts of rain, a lot of rain. more than 2.5 million people are under hurricane warnings in the carolinas and the state of emergency is in place from georgia to maryland. >> the national hurricane center says north carolina faces life threatening catastrophic and prolonged flooding. florence has closed from a category 4 to a category 2 hurricane but that is still very powerful. chief weathercaster lonnie quinn is tracking this storm.

lonnie, is this storm any less dangerous than before? >> you know what, the only thing that has changed, norah, is the wind speed. it had been up to 140, now it's 110. but nothing else has changed. the outer bands now are starting to make their way on shore. look at the threats from this hurricane, all right, and these will remain consistent. as far as storm surge, we're talking about up to 15 feet in spots. i think the general rule's going to be maybe 6 to 13. there will be spots that could see 15. rainfall, 30 inches or more in spots. that could possibly be a record setter for state of north carolina and south carolina. the winds, 105 miles per hour. there's a lot of problems. the biggest problem of all will be duration. tropical storm track from friday through saturday. we thinks it makes its landfall early friday. swoops around and in terms of that rainfall, i think you could be seeing the records broke. the record for north carolina, 24 inches. we're forecasting up to 30 in spots. norah.

>> record breaking, lonnie, thank you. cbs evening news anchor jeff glor is along the ocean front in wilmington, north carolina, jeff, good morning. >> norah, good morning to you. we're on the waterfront here where we're just starting to feel some of the effects of hurricane florence. some tropical storm force gusts. as lonnie mentioned it was downgraded to a category 2 storm overnight. that does not mean anyone is out of danger. the heavy rainfall and storm surge still expected to reach catastrophic levels. especially from that flooding. all of it pushing inland. we have a team of correspondents here along the coast, covering the storm. we're going to begin here this morning right in wilmington with david begnaud. david. >> good morning. wilmington is empty other than news crews to cover the storm. you couldn't even buy groceries right now if you wanted them. most everything is locked up and there are businesses that have boarded up. as you walk through the downtown area, you'll start to feel some wind gusts. we're told it could pick up to

about 50 miles an hour in this area. we're only three miles from the beach. i keep thinking about what the meteorologists have said. don't just focus on the winds, focus on the storm surge and the rainfall. in this area, where we are, the storm surge could be, could be, as high as 13 feet. the bottom line is, preparations are over. it's go time. >> all right, david, thank you very much. many people along the north carolina coast here are heeding the warnings and getting out of florence's way. in the outer banks, most tourists and residents have packed up and left. but mark strassmann's at kitty hawk at the home of one man who decided to stay. mark, good morning to you. >> good morning, jeff. there's a mandatory evacuation order in effect here. all these homes should be empty. but there are always hurricane holdouts. one of them is 71-year-old dick thompson, lifelong resident. why risk it? >> there's always the same amount of deliberation on every one of these things.

it all boils down to home, family, friends, fear. >> with so much to lose, why risk it? >> you're going to run the same risk anywhere. bottom line. you know. i'd rather be here and knowing what i'm dealing with than somewhere else and not knowing what i'm going to be confronted with. >> might you make a last-minute decision, call an audible and he headland if it looks ugly? >> i hardly think so. >> are you stocked up? >> i'm here. >> and you're set to go? >> i'm good to go. >> and nothing's going to change your mind? >> nothing whatsoever. >> okay, all right. thanks for talking and stay safe. >> my pleasure. >> so this island is also starting to shut down. along with the bridge that leads to virginia, one of two main bridges that lead to the outer banks. it will become a one-way bridge and only people can get off, they can't get on. the ferry to the island has now suspended service. this island is essentially

gearing up, hoping for the best, but try to make sure they're safe in case the storm makes a sudden last-minute turn and heads this way, jeff. >> all right, mark, thanks a lot. the major message for folks here in the impact zone is don't get complacent. keep watching the forecast even though the storm is weakening. still incredibly dangerous for those who stayed on the coast. there's still time to get out if people need to. again, the big concern, that flooding. we're going to -- in 36 hours now from john, so if you think about that 12 or 13 foot storm surge, we're all going to be under water here if we're in this location. we're not planning to be right here. that's what we're expecting in wilmington. and for hundreds of miles potentially in parts up and down the north carolina coast. john, back to you in the studio in new york. >> all right, jeff, thank you. north carolina governor roy cooper join us now from raleigh. good morning, governor. 1 million people in your state were asked to evacuate.

you said don't bet on riding out the monster. we heard from a man who is staying put. is there still time to leave? >> there is still time to leave. the winds may be down a bit. but the one-two intense punches that we are expecting are still there. this storm surge can be deadly. and then the flooding that will come thereafter with rain being measured in feet instead of inches. we know this is an extremely dangerous situation. and we're encouraging people not only -- you may be putting your life at risk. you're also putting first responders at risk who may have to come and rescue you. so yes, there is still time to get out. and we're asking people to leave. we have shelters open. there are over 90 shelters open now for people on higher ground in safe buildings. we have almost 10,000 people who have taken advantage of that. and we have hundreds of thousands of people who are

heading west and north. we want them to be safe. and for those who aren't in the evacuation zone in north carolina, you're going to feel this thing. we're on the wrong side of the storm. so we're going to still get a lot of rain and wind. we want people to hunker down and have their supplies and flashlights and batteries. the power companies expect millions of people to be without power for days. >> you hear that. even if you're not in the evacuation zone, you're going to feel this. it's going to hurt your home because of the lack of power and food, so be prepared. i know other states, are they stepping in to help? >> this has been wonderful to get help from states all over the country. i've been talking to fellow governors. they have been sending equipment, swift water rescue teams, personnel, to help us.

i was just at one of our staging areas yesterday. and met with swiftwater rescue teams from new jersey and ohio and new york. and we are so grateful. north carolina has helped other states in the past. now that help is coming back to us. the coordination is strong among our local state and federal partners. we're very grateful for the help. people stepping up, coming from all over the country. we're all americans. people are saying we know you guys are about to get hit. so we're there to help you. and we're grateful for that. >> it is one of the things about these stories. everybody leans in to try and help. governor cooper, we're thinking of you and the residents of your state, thank you so much. >> we're going to get through this, thank you. >> our hurricane coverage this morning is just beginning. we'll have much more in our next half hour. fbi director christopher wray says americans can feel confident in the election results this november. we spoke with director wray

yesterday for an interview you'll see only on cbs news. the director has never sat down for an extended interview like this before. we first asked him about that anonymous "new york times" opinion piece that described a white house in turmoil. the president has said he wants the attorney general to investigate who wrote that anonymous "new york times" op-ed. do you believe, as the president does, that this is an issue of national security? >> first off, i can tell you, i didn't write it, i didn't have anything to do with it. second, i would tell you that we're not really in the practice of confirming or discussing whether we're going to be conducting a particular investigation. i will tell you we're going to make decisions about that kind of thing based on all the factors we normally do, which is whether or not we have such push it sufficient evidence of federal crime. >> you have said you did not write the piece. i want to ask you about the content. it describes the president's

leadership style as, quote, petty and ineffective. it says the root of the president's problem is, his quote, amorality. does that sound like the president you know? >> i try very hard to make sure that my relationship with the president is a professional one. and beyond that, i'm not going to really be weighing in on opinions, especially anonymously expressed opinions. i can tell you there are lots of ways for people to express their views and disagreements. for me, the idea of doing it through an anonymous op-ed is about the furthest thing from my mind. >> let me turn now to russia. and it's maligned activities. when vladimir putin said russia has never interfered and is not going to interfere in american affairs including the election process, was he lying? >> well, again, i'm not going to accuse somebody of lying. i'll just say that that doesn't jive with our read of the evidence and we're pretty confidence in our read. >> what is russia doing to disrupt the midterms that are now just about 60 days away?

>> so what we're seeing now is a continuation of the -- what we call the malign foreign influence efforts. what they do is sew both inaccurate information, information warfare, and then propaganda, exaggerated half truths, distortions. >> why are we letting this happen? why are we letting russia do this? we have the greatest law enforcement agency in the world. the fbi. we have the most powerful tech companies in the world. why are we allowing russia to do this? >> i don't view this as allowing them to do anything. i think we're countering it. we are working hard to counter it more and more effectively over time. >> how are we fighting back? >> in some case, we have law enforcement investigations that lead to charges. in some cases, we have steps that the technology companies can take themselves. and in some cases, we're raising awareness. because the best defense against misinformation and propaganda is accurate information. >> so come november, can americans be confident that it was a fair election?

>> i think americans can have confidence in our election system. >> now, despite headlines about russia meddling, the fbi director says china is actually the single biggest threat to americans. we'll find out why in our next hour as we share more of our wide-ranging interview with christopher wray about the integrity and the hard work of the 37,000 people that work at the fbi. >> he very seldoseldom, he neves down. looking forward to your next part. cbs news has fired the executive producer of "60 minutes" after he sent aed warn correspondent covering allegations against him. cbs news says that jeff fager violated company policy. in a statement, fager blamed a text message he sent to one of our own cbs reporters demanding she be fair in covering the story. now, he has admitted that it contains harsh language. jericka duncan is that reporter and she joins us at the table this morning. very good to have you here. >> thank you so much. thank you for you all's support this morning.

our team has been investigating published accounts of jeff fager acting inappropriately and tolerating misconduct. sunday evening i reached out to him for comment on the most recent allegations. he denied them and then sent me a warning. in a text message, jeff fager wrote, if you repeat these false accusations without any of your own reporting to back them up, you will be held responsible for harming meg. he went on to say, be careful, there are people who lost their jobs trying to harm me and if you pass on these damaging claims without your own reporting to back them up, that will become a serious problem. >> this is the board of stories -- >> reporter: fager who led "60 minutes" since 2004 indicated that message is why he was fired. in a statement, he wrote, my language was harsh and, despite the fact that journalists receive harsh demands for fairness all the time, cbs did not like it. one such note should not result in termination after 36 years. before that language was made

public, cbs news president david rose addressed the staff at 60 minutes in what one employee called an intense meeting. rose faced questions from journalists who were said to be incredibly angry. correspondent steve kroft later characterized the text message as threatening and inappropriate. >> i can't talk about it. >> reporter: as he left the meeting, rose wouldn't comment on whether the text message was the reason he fired fager. in an e-mail to the news division, he wrote, the dismissal is not directly related to the allegations that surfaced in press reports. the new yorker has reported on claims that fager would touch employees in ways that made them uncomfortable and allowed harassment in the division. fager has denied that. as previous chairman of cbs news, fager brought charlie rose back to the network in the late 1990s. >> my friend, my colleague, my boss. >> reporter: cbs fired rose last year over sexual harassment

allegations. 60 minutes marked its 50th year last season. >> our job is to seek out the truth and not everybody wants the truth out. >> reporter: fager was only the second executive producer in the show's history. >> the fundamentals haven't changed over all these years and i really think that's a big part of the success. >> the fundamental also of reporting including asking questions of those we cover and that's exactly what we were doing. fake fager and rose and moonves all now forced out over allegations of misconduct. two outside law firms a s ars a conducting an investigation into those reports and into the overall culture here at cbs. never expected this. >> no, of course. this is a very difficult story for us to cover and certainly for you. big trees are falling at cbs. but i really do believe that the company wants to and will get this right. i can only imagine what this has done to you. how this has affected you.

i certainly applaud you, jericka, for speaking up. >> what was it like when you received that text on sunday? >> i was shocked and, like, the many people i've covered, you finally understand that conflicting feeling about why and what and why would you even put me in this position now. i spoke to someone here that -- >> did you view it as a threat? >> i did. >> yes. >> and it's even hard to say that today. because yes, we do receive harsh language all the time, but this is someone who held an enormous amount of power here, who i respected, and i was shocked. >> i think once people saw that text, they might have felt differently about it. it certainly sounded like a threat. >> it was a threat. >> yes. >> i thank everyone here for their support. so many comments. i can't say that enough about the people within this organization who have sent me text messages, e-mails, viewers, people on twitter, so i'm grateful for that. >> we

florence will start to impact the north carolina coast this morning. here's what the storm looks like from space. sustained winds are peaking at 110 miles an hour. but the most dangerous threat comes from storm surge, that will hit the carolinas tonight and tomorrow. chief weather caster lonnie quinn of our sister station shows how the two systems work together. >> as hurricane florence gets closer and closer to land, i want to focus on two primary impacts, that is the wind and the storm surge. the peak winds of 120 miles an hour extend just 20 miles out from the eye. and then there's 74 miles an hour winds 200 miles from the

center. you can always get a stronger gust at any point in time. but there's another element of that storm, it is the temperature of that water below florence, it's 85 degrees. the worst part of the storm is the front right quadrant. that storm bupushes the water i from the coast. that water could rise 15 feet. that's basically up to the second floor of a home, and that's why now is the time that those folks have got to evacuate if you're in the north carolina, south dakota tide water area. that could stretch from moorhead city all the way to carolina city. people are pulling their boats out of the water in

call or visit good morning to our viewers in the west. 2018. welcome back to cbs "this morning." ahead, the latest from north carolina where hurricane florence is just starting its dangerous assault on the state. and only on cbs "this morning," fbi director christopher wray on the threat the u.s. faces from chinese spies. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. time is running out for people to get ready for hurricane florence. >> the biggest problem will be duration. tropical storm conditions from right now all the way through

saturday. the heavy rainfall and storm surge still expected to reach catastrophic levels, especially from the flooding. in this area where we are, the storm surge could be -- could be -- as high as 13 feet. >> the mandatory evacuation order in effect. these homes should be empty but there are always hurricane holdouts. >> power companies expect millions of people to be without power for days. >> big trees are falling at cbs but i do believe the company wants to and will get this right. this is someone who held an enormous amount of power here who i respected. >> tennis umpires may boy scott serena williams matches at her confrontation at the u.s. open finals. >> don't pretend you can boycott serena williams in tennis because she basically is tennis. the umpires are going to be like "for now on i'm not umpiring for serena. i'm going to umpire games for -- um, i want to say stephanie?

look, i don't know the other one bus y but you get my point." >> there's naomi. >> there is naomi. but that's a good take on it. >> umpiring games where they don't use tennis balls. >> exactly right. i'm norah o'donnell with gayle king and john dickerson. more than one million people are in the cross hairs of hurricane florence. the monster storm bigger than north carolina and south carolina combined is closing in on the carolina coast. it has weakened to a category two but forecasters warn florence is extremely dangerous. >> one fema official put it this way -- do you want to get hit with a train or a cement trunk? neither, please. the carolinas could see devastating conditions when florence makes landfall overnight. jeff glor is in wilmington, north carolina, where people are preparing for a direct hit.

jeff, good morning. >> john, good morning. how amazing is it to think about what norah just said, that this storm is bigger than north carolina and zk sk combined. it's amajoring how large a storm it is. the wind is picking up as some of the outer bands are approaching the coast. that will only get worse as evacuations continue here. we went around yesterday speaking to folks who were boarding up their homes and businesses. there are some holdouts who say they've ridden out brutal storms before. but police and volunteers have been driving around and door knocking urging people in some of the most vulnerable areas to get out if they can. fueilleton officials expect florence to knock out power for millions and they say it could be weeks before electricity is restored 234 some places. florence could blast the carolinas with historic and catastrophic storm surge. forecasters warn that could literally reshape parts of the

coastline. we've been talking about that here. it's frightening to hear about. megan from our chicago station wbbm is tracking the storm with us all week. megan, frightening to hear about because that's why we put tracks into this. >> it's weakening, i don't know that it will regain much strength from this point forward. it starts to do something called upwelling which is pulling up colder water when it sits and spins more slowly. right now the latest, it's a cat 2 moving northwest at 12. you can see the eye, the center of circulation a little ragged but look at those intense bands of very heavy thunderstorm activity just off the coastline of the carolinas now. expected to make a direct impact friday morning but then sit and move very slowly and jeff that's

probably the biggest problem 1 the fact that it won't move that much for 24 to a tour from period. >> just sit there. so we talked to people here who are still weighing whether to leave or not. for those folks waking up saying it's a category two that suspect so bad. >> it's category two but the only thing we look at to determine is wind. the only thing we are concerned about is the storm. you get fresh water flooding and heavy rains in excess of 30 inches of rain. that's more than they see in an entire year in wilmington. that's a big pocket of south carolina and north carolina. so we'll have cat 4 impacts from surge and rainfall, not necessarily the wind. >> and the real bad winds and damage are on the right side of the storm here where we are right now which always happens. >> right side of circulation, that's where it's coming on

shor shore. >> and this area is saturated? >> they're 20 inches up. >> megan, thanks very much. folks here stressing the unpredictability of these storms. we've seen enough of these storms. people here have seen enough of them. they always change which is why we keep watching the forecast. gayle, back to you in new york. >> we're watching it, too. thank you very much, jeff. earlier we spoke to fema deputy administrator daniel kenewski who says the decrease in florida's top winds don't make the storm any less of a threat. >> the impact s we're worried about, water, that flooding and that 13 feet of storm surge are unchanged so forget about the category number, what we have to be concerned about, are they deadly impacts. >> we first told you about fema's response to hurricane

maria. cbs news obtained photos showing millions of bottles of water that have been sitting on an airport runway in puerto rico since last fall when the hurricane hit. >> those are excess water bottles. those were not needed during the response phase and were not distributed by the governor of puerto rico and fema for that reason. >> the optics look bad. but you're telling us you're comfortable with how fema handled the situation? >> we'll be putting out a statement later today with a timeline for this situation. i'm confident that those that needed those bottles of water got them during the response phase and these were excess bottles of water transferred to save the american taxpayer. >> 50% of puerto ricans say 50% of people in the households cannot get enough water to drink. >> you can download the cbs news app on your phone, tablet and other devices.

two top cardinals had an audience with pope francis at the vatican. they are discussing the widening sex abuse scandal. the pope yesterday called for top bishops from around the world to attend the summit at the vatican in february. this comes as a new scandal is developing in germany. more than 1600 clerics and priests are accused of sexually abusing more than 3600 minors over about 70 years. seth doane is following the pope's response from the vatican. seth, good morning. >> good morning, the vatican says the pope has reflected deeply on this crisis of sex abuse which is rocking the church and which was the topic of those conversations with those u.s. cardinals, including sean o'malley, the cardinal of boston, who is the top papal adviser and also cardinal daniel dinardo of galveston, texas, who is the head of u.s. bishops. it was dinardo who called for the audience with the pope and is pushing for a full vatican investigation into the issue of the former now disgraced

cardinal theodore mccarrick who resigned after accusations were deemed credible that he had abused a minor nearly 50 years ago. a wave of other allegations that he'd also abused seminarians emerged around the same time and it was seen that that was an open secret at the vatican. now, dinardo is asking for outsiders to play a role in church investigations and new channels to s a to be able to abuse. now a new twist, an accusation that cardinal dinardo push to cover up a priest who was accused in his area. >> a lot of layers. seth doane thank you reporting from rome. much more news ahead. the fbi director says china wants to dominate the u.s. economy by stealing technology and our ideas. ahead, more of norah's wide-ranging interview with

from american technology to agriculture. >> if i look at our counterintelligence mission overall, china is our top priority in that space. we've had cases involving everything from turbine technology in places like upstate new york to corn seed development in iowa. >> what do you mean corn seed? they're trying to steal our corn seed? >> well, of course we have -- i think america's agriculture is the envy of the world and we're proud of it and we should be. whenever we're the best of something someone is always chasing us. >> what are they trying to steal? >> they're trying to steal our trade secrets, our ideas, our innovation. >> the u.s. trade representatives put a figure on the theft of intellectual property and it's up to $600 billion annually. that's enormous. >> the thing that people need to understand is that this has an impact on everyday people. it has an impact on american

businesses. it has an impact on american jobs. it has an impact on american consumers. >> how so? >> well, china's goal is to take what it can and become essentially self-sufficient and put american businesses out of business. >> well, to replace america as the world's economic super power. >> i think that's their goal and they're pretty open about it. >> it's not only these individuals who are engaged in spying, it's companies. you've raised concerns about the chinese telecomgiants wa way and zte. why are they national security risks? >> any time you start talking about foreign companies that are beholden to foreign governments that don't share our values and our dedication to the rule of law, it enables them to conduct economic espionage. 10 ables them to conduct different types of cyberattacks. it enables them to steal

information in a variety of ways. >> the president intervened a few months ago to safe zte from some of these crippling financial naenlts congress wanted. was the president wrong? >> i continue to be very concerned and i think the intelligence community continues to be very concerned about the threat to our telecommunications infrastructure presented by some of the kinds of companies that are beholden to foreign governments that don't share our values. and the idea of letting the fox in the henhouse is something that i think people need to be really, really careful about before we find out that we're going to regret it. >> director, i know you have been asked this many times, but i do want to ask it of you because the president has issued repeated attacks on the fbi, on the integrity of its work, on the people who work here at the fbi. in fact, he said that the reputation of the fbi is in tatters. those attacks have to have taken

their toll. >> i'll tell you what i see. i see 37,000 men and women who get up every day trying to keep 325 million american people safe. i see people who work their tails off in that effort who are people of character, courage, professionalism and diligence. and we do thousands and thousands of investigations every year. i think about the agents that i swear in at quantico several times a year who compete like heck to be accepted into the ranks of the fbi. i could give you example after example. that's the fbi that i see. that's the real fbi. and that's what we're about. >> how would you describe your relationship with president trump? >> my focus is on having a very professional relationship with the president. i think that's what i've been trying to do since day one and that's true today just as much as it was on day one. >> he tweets a lot about cabinet members and top members of his

administration, but you specifically have never been the subject of one of his tweets. >> well, i'm not much of a twitter guy, as people will tell you. and that's not meant to criticize twitter. a social media commentary has its place. i just find that i've got enough to do all day long running the fbi that without getting too hung up and worry about what's on twitter. >> the fbi director has a motto. keep calm and tackle hard. and i think that's the message he's trying to send not only to the 37,000 strong fbi that is keeping us safe every single day, it's fighting back there. you heard about china which is stealing $600 billion from us, trying to make sure our elections safe, kidnap kids they go after and help rescue our kids. we need though realize just how much the fbi does for the average everyday american. >> and also the fox in the henhouse, that was really interesting too. >> great hear from him, norah. >> yeah. ahead, 15-minute workout. it might be what you need. stay tuned.

dressed, they can bring it to you. >> news you use. any of you know who finnous gauge is and what happened to him on this day will hear an echo in this. the kansas city star says a boy impaled we meet secure in his head is making a recovery. the secure impaled his skull from his face to the back of his head. the ordeal began saturday when yellow jackets attacked him in a tree house. he fell out of the tree on to a secure. it somehow missed his eye, brain, spinal cord and major blood ves else. doctors removed the skewer the next day.

but they had to spend 13 minutes listing until they were exhausted. >> skepticism from the crowd. >> yeah. bob woodward drew from hundreds of hours of interviews for his new book "fear, trump in the white house". he says fear includes details from participants and witnesses to the trump administration. the president is strongly criticizing the book. >> this woodward book is a total -- it's a total fraud. the book means nothing. it's a work of fiction. i'm very happy with the way it turned out because i think the book has been totally discredited. >> in our interview with fbi director rai we asked what he thinks of the chaos and discord in the administration. >> you live in washington so you know much thf town is talking about bob woodward's book called fear. and in that book he describes an administration which you are part of but he's specifically describing the white house as ago a nervous breakdown of executive power.

have you experienced any of that? >> i have not seen a nervous breakdown of executive power. i've also not read mr. woodward's book and i'm not sure whether i'll ever find time. >> fear is published by simon and schuster, a division of cbs. bob woodward is with us now here in studio 57. good morning. >> thank you. >> i'm going to ask you about fbi director wray's comments about your book in just a second, but i know this book is with simon and shuft, he it's a division of cbs, and you had a number of your books featured on "60 minutes". what do you make of what's happening here? >> yes, that's a great question. and cbs has gone through a scandal, let's call it what it is. i know cbs very well. they own simon and schuster, my publisher. done 19 books, the nixon storm, the iraq war, the afghan war, now the trump storm. and they are well-led,

independent, great leadership carolyn ready, john carp, my ed by thetor alice mayhew, i've worked with her for 47 years on all of those books. a tough, thoughtful editor. "60 minutes" about all of these books. i remember going back to watergate and there was a young reporter named lesley stahl working on the story. there is a great producer for 60 minutes named bob anderson who would come down and review the basis of the books i wrote about the iraq war, about the afghan war. where'd this come from? let's listen to the tapes. i trusted him. >> are you trying say, bob, we'll be okay at cbs? is that what you're saying? >> that's exactly right. because you've got strength, people go through tough times. i just from intimate involvement

with the books, with 60 minutes, with scott pelley would come and interview me and do this kind of excavation of the experience i had. so you are going to be fine if you stick with your values. there's a great story in "the new york times" by jim stewart about how the decision was made by the cbs board. and it shows exactly that there was a cover-up, there were lies, and then they finally faced the reality of what was going on with your former leaders. >> well, i agree with you and i appreciate you saying this. it's tough to see your company's name with the word in front of it besieged. that's very difficult. but there are a lot of talented, hard-working people here. i say heads up and onward. but it is difficult, it say scandal, we're going through it. but as you said, our values and our core is very, very strong.

and we're eating into time talking about your book. >> okay. but you two women, what's your feeling about this? not john, but you two because this is about the treatment of women in a way that is truly outrageous. and i think this society is not going to stand for this anymore. >> i agree. >> and, i mean, again, look at how this was exposed. "the new yorker" magazine. the los angeles times. and confidential sources. people who were willing to be trusted and so there's a connection to all that's going on. >> agreed. >> and just to answer your question, gayle and i feel like we've spoken publicly about it perhaps far too many times. we talked about it ten months ago and. >> and we're still talking about it. >> we're still talking about it. >> and you'll be talking with

it -- >> but we're jirnl are journalists and we old other people accountable. that's the heart of journalism. that's what james madison talked about. holding government officials and those public figures accountable in his words. so we are accountable as well in our own shop and also it has to do with who writes history. people are in charge who help write history, which is what your books are about, which is how history is told. don't get history from just the public statements made at a podium, you get them from real people and asking them. and that's the craft that you do. let me ask you because the public does when this media sunday fire for our integrity in many sorts of different ways, when someone like the fbi director who say man of incredible integrity says that's not the executive that i encounter, one that's having a nervous breakdown, how do you reckon sooil sile those? >> well, his experience is limited with trump. i spent over a year on this. i have literally hundreds of hours of tapes with people who

were there. if you've looked at the book, they're very specific incidents. >> very detailed. >> and it is a kind of -- it opens the window. look, going back to the nixon case, any of these books you're going to have what i call this survival denial by somebody who wants to be politically connected with the president. and that's fine. but as the great editor of the "washington post" bradley says the truth emerges. and it does. i've done this time and time again where you get denials. nixon and kissinger did not pray on the eve of nixon's resignation. >> you are getting denials but you also have tapes. would you ever release any of those tapes? >> if somebody comes out and denies something specifically. >> well, gary cohen says it doesn't portray my experience at

the white house. >> that's what's called a nondee nile dee nile. >> like he doesn't -- >> is he going to say that that document that's reproduced in the book -- >> would you release tapes? >> well, if somebody really wants to challenge me, of course of course. but i -- again, i've made agreements with people that these sources are going to remain confidential. >> bob, you've covered a lot of administrations. when you were doing the reporting for this, what didn't you hear? what are the things you're used to hearing from every administration that just was absent in this administration? >> well, it's not a team. time and time again the president is the one who is alone on how to deal with some of these national security issues. the whole cabinet meets with him in the pentagon. there's a long description of it. and james mattis, the secretary of defense says the great gift of the greatest generation is this rules-based international

order. and the secretary of state says this has kept the peace for 70 years. trump does not want to hear about it and he gets mad and said all of this is bs and at the end you literally have the secretary of defense, because this was a meeting in the tank which is the meeting place of the joint chiefs, they wanted to get trump away from the tv and so forth. it is deflated and this is when secretary of state tillerson, as has been reported, says the president is an f'ing moran. >> you sort of end book that way too. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good luck, you're going to be fine. >> thank you. a lot of information in that book. called "fear:trump in the white house. it's on sale wherever you like to buy your books. chef

restaurants in north america and he writes about disaster relief efforts in his new book. it's called "we fed an island:the true story of rebuilding puerto rico one meal at a time" before we get to your book, president trump has just released a tweet talking about puerto rico. he says this, 3,000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit puerto rico. when i left the island after the storm had hit, said anywhere from six to 18 deaths. as time went by it did not go up by much. then a long time later they started to report large numbers like 3,000. jose, you were one of the first people there. what do you have to say? >> my role was to feed people, but the first places we went were hospitals. we knew what was happening. people knew that maybe a lot of people didn't die right during the hurricane, but the number began increasing very quickly. we need to understand we had a lot of old people that because they ran out of electricity people that had breathing machines, they were dying because they didn't have the

small generators to be able to have it. but many months later they had generators. water, old people falling in front of me because they didn't drink for three days. people that didn't have food. those things were real, were happening. we had the hospital that was ifr empty. >> do you think the president understands the magnitude of what happened there? >> i think a president, any leader, president trump o, a leader it here to praise their people. that is what any leader should be doing. i don't think president trump is helping for example this next hurricane, he's praising himself for all the great things did he. i think a president should be leading their people telling them we need to be ready, we need to learn from past short falls and past mistakes so we make sure these will never happen again. more than 3,000 people died in puerto rico and actually president trump, as the leader of america, has let's say a lot of blame to take. >> jose, what about puerto rico

now? they could get another hit. is it ready? >> i would say that puerto rico is in a strange situation because the last homes receive electricity only a few weeks ago. we need to understand when a hurricane like this hit, it's devastating. is puerto rico ready? i think that people learned their lessons. but what is important is this. you can never prepare enough for a hurricane. that's why it's so important that the federal government is ready to bring the full force to help americans anywhere, including the people of puerto rico and the ber rhian islands. >> whoo why do you say the shaft is the person person to deal with disaster relief. >> we are very resourceful. we arrive to an island with no assets and we went from thousand meals a day to more than 150,000 meals a day. we were 20 people at the very beginning. we put together an army of more than 25,000 volunteers. we went from one kich tone more than 26 kitchens.

you see, we have to feed people with whatever we need to do to start multiplying every day. we kept doing more and more. at the end we were feeding almost the entire island. chefs we are ready to work in chaos. in these times, but also in disasters. >> you are a terrific chef and you've gone from feeding as a luxury, to feeding people as a necessity. what have you learned from that? >> that the plate of hot food brings a lot of hope to people. but we were delivering every day. you know what's important in emergencies? >> that we don't go drop bottles of water in a field. the way you provide relief is by going every day. we went every day to every community. more than 900 communities every single day. >> jose, we're going to have to end it there. thank you so much more being here. stay tuned. >> thank you.
