4:09 am
>> reporter: in a statement, rosenstein called the allegations which were first reported "the new york times" inaccurate and factually incorrect. he added, based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th amendment. a former justice departmewho wa meeting says he made a reference to exposing the president but said it was sarcastic. others tell cbs news they do not recall any reference to the 25th amendment which enables the removal of the president if he cannot fulfill his duties. earlier there was an op said it identified as a senior administration official claiming they too were aware of conversation bts 25th a mend meant. >> we have something in what i call the failing "new york times" that's talking about he's part of the resistance within the trump administration. >> this person works for -- >> this is what we have to deal with. >> reporter: an attorney for mccabe says they don't know how these memos were leaked to the media. mccabe was fired back in may for

4:11 am
from that investigation. so the question who would be replacing him and what would that person do? president trump we know is sfro strongly against this investigation. so he may want to pick somebody who has a similar view, which is why he would have trouble confirming them. >> let's turn now brett kavanaugh's confirmation. a lot or a little happened overnight as i recall, but bring us up to date on what off of this means. >> big picture they seem to be moving toward a resolution where dr. christine blasey ford testifies in the senate. brett kavanaugh will have a say as well. respond to the allegations against him. this could happen this week around wednesday or so. but the negotiations are not final, they're still figuring out the terms of it, who's going to be in the room, how many rounds of questions, that sort of thing. but it's significant because it will determine whether or not he gets a seat on the supreme court for 30 to 40 years. >> the political stakes are high here too with the midterms looming so closely, aren't they? >> they certainly are. this whole conversation, this whole debate threatens to douse gasoline on an already me too

4:13 am
carry out his agenda and a party that's going to be advairial and confrontational toward him. i think president obama's trying to get involved and say you need to show up. >> that enough? >> the tide is in favor of democrats right now. the president's approval rating is low and the generic ballot which asks voters which party they prefer to control congress is strong for democrats but they need to turn out and that's why president obama's been trying to make that argument so we'll see. >> and have the republicans lost their key important messaging issues? especially on something like tax cuts. >> right. so my colleague and i obtained an internal republican national committee poll where tested voter opinion on their tax law, which say signature legislative achievement of this congress. what they found is public opinion is divided overall when you simply ask favorable, unfavorable. but by 2 to 1 margin, they believe they benefit the wealthy over the mid-will class.

4:49 am
ransom secured his freedom. >> we have details in his journey in his book in the desert and in the sea. 977 days captive on the somali coast. and he joins thank you us at the table this morning. i'm going to ask what your mother would, what were you thinking when you went out there? >> i went there after covering a trial for about a gleer in hamburg of ten somali pirates who were arrested after trying to capture a german ship. i was deep in the story already. i went with a documentary maker who was also interested in doing something down there. so we planned the trip for a loaning time and finally in the early 2012 we went down there. >> i'm sorry, continue. >> spent a couple weeks researching. >> what led to the spread of piracy in the region? e of tt somalia lost

4:51 am
that you wouldn't have had you had not been around them? >> the most surprising part was many of my guards were very devout muslims. i didn't think going in that i would find anyone who was sort of self-deceptive enough to think that they could be religious and a pier rate at the same time. that was a contradiction that took a while for me to figure out. >> one of the ways you got through this was practicing yoga, and in some cases with your captor zbluns i was hauled off the ship and held on land in a series of prison house, i actually requested a mat because at some point i realized i was going to spend some time in a -- a lot of time in this one house. and the floor was filthy, but i asked for a mat. and i was going to try to do yoga without the guards seeing me, but they watched me 24 hours a day. so i just start dodd if the they thought it was hilarious. and after a while they kept -- because they were also not getting any exercise in this house, they were locked in too.
4:52 am
so they kept doing it and i would give them pointers. >> what mix of emotion ds do yo have when you were finally set free? >> that's a good question. by that point i wasn't capable of elation. i wasn't just immediately happy. i was -- first of all, i didn't believe i was going free and then i was sort of -- i felt more relaxed and lightened sort of in stages during the whole day. but it wasn't until i actually saw my family when i was back in berlin that i really felt good. >> wow. we're glad you're here. >> me too. thank you. >> we're glad you're safe. micha michael scott moore, we appreciate you talking about this. coming up, some quick thinking saved this baby's life. we'll have the incredible story. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." now playing free on curiosity stream science and technology are transforming our lives with dizzying speed.

5:02 am
president. rosenstein issued two statements in response to the claims saying based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th amendment. he also said i never pursued or authorized recording the president and any suggestion that i have ever advocated for the removal of the president is absolutely false. at a rally in missouri last night, president trump did not mention rosenstein by name, but said there is a lingering stench at the fbi and justice department that he promised to get rid of. he also defended supreme court nominee judge brett kavanaugh telling the crowd we need to fight for him, not worry about the other side. presumably talking about dr. christine blasey ford who has accused kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her while they were both in high school. ford's legal team and the senate judiciary committee chairman are negotiating the terms of her testifying on capitol hill. senator chuck grassley rejected key conditions yesterday and

i'm passionately waiting and smashing every expectation and action an act of creation i'm laughing in the face of casualties and sorrow. the first time i'm thinking past tomorrow. >> got to love that song. he put his favorite founding father on the map with that broadway hit. it was called hamilton. we know all about it. but what about some of the lers known characters from the revoltionary era in the author of a new book argues that one in particular deservestor remembered, a doctor and signer of the declaration who championed progressive causes that remain topical today. >> benjamin rush was first of all sort of the founding father that people haven't found yet. >> but author steven frede thinks its high time america did with good reason. >> he had a very quietly helped write the proclamation that set off the boston tae party. he had written one of the first major abolition writings.
5:10 am
and basically within two years of the continental congress coming to philadelphia, he was in the continental congress and he was signing the declaration independence at the achblige of >> so this zbt doctor rush. >> frede spent five years writing his biography. >> he writes about the year 1774 a sesh thomas payne arrived in philadelphia. so this is rush beginning to tell the story of how he met thomas payne who was just a local writer that he talked about writing about independence, which rush considered to be a very dangerous thing to even write the word independence. he actually decided that he would encourage payne to write the pamphlet about independence that he had already started. when the pamphlet was done, rush convinced him to call it common sense. >> so all of this would have been served here at the tavern. >> the doctor dined here at city
5:11 am
tavern with his much more famous coconspirators john adams, thomas jefferson, even george washington. >> so how pivotal would you say dr. rush was to the american revolution? >> i would say first of all that i think that everything he did is so far not really well understood. but i think that the key to the american revolution is that all these people worked together. people forget that when jefferson was writing the declaration of independence, rush was writing the declaration of independence for pennsylvania. and each state was declaring its own independence. so this was a group effort. >> but he was one of the few signers of the declaration who, in fact, rushed to the front lines. >> what's wonderful is that he's there talking to washington the night before they're about to cross the delaware. and he writes about all of this. so the way we know washington was holding a little slip of paper with victory or death is because it's in rush's journal. >> after independence was won, rush refocused his fight against
5:12 am
slavery. >> how much of slavery impacted his legacy? >> well, interestingly so, he wrote one of the first of the founding father writings on slavery against slavery. he owned a slave for about ten years after the war. we have really no idea why. there's been speculation that he bought a slave because some abolitionists bought slaves to free them. i couldn't find enough evidence that's why he did it to say that. the abolition movement kind of stopped after the war. it picked up again in the later 1780s. when it did, rush freed his slave. >> but for all of his influence, rush hasn't found celebrity the way some other founding fathers have. >> should he have written hamilton? >> about rush? >> about rush. >> absolutely. rush was a much better, more interesting person than hamilton. if he wants to come back to do
5:13 am
rush, rush was so much a part of the founding of the -- helping of founding of the black church in america that he could do rush in gospel. i think rush was a better person. i think if you asked hamilton woe have said rush was a better person. every person who comes to rush says why isn't this guy more famous? what i found out in look at not only his writing but what happened avenue died is that there was a concerted effort to keep what was most interesting about rush from the public. >> why? >> well, john adams and thomas jefferson had written rush some of the most incredibly personal letters they ever shared with any of them, hundreds of them. so rush was kind of the founding father who knew too much had the hiss legacy was sort of slowly quashed, part of it because rush had an interesting contentious relationship with george washington. he didn't want his family to know that he and washington had had this thing. >> what was that thing? >> at the very lowest ebb of the war, in the early 1778, some of the generals were talking about
5:14 am
whether washington was making was deputy pew advertising as his generals. and he wrote an anonymous letter to patrick henry in which he mirrored some of these arguments. it's exciting in a way because you think of it as an e-mail you shouldn't have sent. because he sent patrick henly it letter in january. he asked him to burn it. he and washington then kind of made up. and patrick henry sent the thrower washington two months later. i don't know what if did to washington except it made him mad at rush. and reremained upset with rush about this through his life. these combination of things led the family to try to make sure that the most interesting things that rush wrote, that people didn't see them. >> rush's true legacy thrives here. >> this is the famous surgical amphitheater of pennsylvania hospital. >> his passion was personal. his son john descended into mental illness after killing his best friend in a dual and was treated here for decades. >> late in his life, rush wrote
5:15 am
do to dramatically improve care for mentally ill. so he brought the fact that john was there into the public and into the newspapers because he was so intent on advocating for the rights of the mentally ill, for their diagnosis, for their dignity and for lack of discrimination against them. >> for steven frede, res sur recollecting the most significant founding father we've never heard of is more relevant vanow than ever. >> no one thought it was perfect. part of what i live about rush's writing, he's trying to point out the things about america that are going to be hard. racial prejudice, having science and religion live together. having liberty and good government live together. and so he wrote about these things in a way that i think is still thoughtful today and makes you realize that these issues are hard-wired into the arican expement whi we are still in. >> and you really got to think about this. he was a true accidental
5:16 am
founding father because, you know, people don't realize that when the declaration, the last stop was pennsylvania, philadelphia, and the original guy who was supposed to stein sign it, refused, it was too dangerous. and rush said, i'll do it. >> i'm reading this back, it's fascinating. he keeps being involved in more and more interesting things than the yellow fever gripped philadelphia in the 1790s. he was one of the few doctors and stayed and treated people. >> lost his sister. >> amazing life and fascinating book. >> it's amazing. >> all right. stop motion animation isn't j for kids anymore. up next, we'll visit an emmy award producing production house with hilarious shows aimed at adults. and we'll talk to bryan cranston about what drew him into it. we'll be right back in the is "cbs this morning: saturday." man 1: this is my body of proof. woman 1: proof of less joint pain... woman 2: ...and clearer skin. woman 3: this is my body of proof.

5:32 am
i cooked in high school. >> you did? >> i started dishwasher and my cousin was "the dish" cash -- dishwasher before me who became the salad guy. i found it very interesting to be in the team -- the comradery of a kitchen, the team spirit, the intensity, the learning. you know, you learn stuff all the time and you created. so you got the instant grat fa occasion of making something on adale lay base skblis when you announced to your dad that you wanted to be a chef, he wasn't excited about the idea. >> no, he thought i was smoking something probably. >> wereidding. i was a good student and athlete and him coming from brooklyn, you know, had he other ideas, i think, as most parents always do. but to be a cook back then or chef it was a service job, it wasn't known as a profession yet until '77. so we've come a long way in the

correctly. so we have restaurants in different areas in the jersey shore, all of our meat comes from this aged process out of chicago. >> would you say you still take big risks or are you in any way like hedging your bets? >> i think -- i take risks, but i think with experience you kind of know it's going to work. it's like an old fisherman going to a certain spot. you know. you have a feeling there's going to be some fish in the water. so, you know, i think there's -- my brother works for me now down on the jersey shore and i used to be so tough on -- on every little detail. and i pull back now and let them do their thing and let people that you pay do their thing because they can do it and it seems to work a little better. that comes with experience. >> i'm loving that jersey accent. i'm loving it. i have to ask you as we enjoy this fabulous meal and you sign this dish if there's anyone past
5:35 am
or present that you could share that meal with, who would it be? >> you know what? i have never met my grandfathers, either one of them. my granddad on my father's side owned a tavern called burke's tavern which it was a really good beer joint back in the day on ralph avenue. so i would have loved to have cooked for both of those guys. >> you get it honest, that's for sure. >> thank you. >> chef david berkley, thank you. and for more on david burke and "the dish," head to our website at cbsthismorning.com. now here's a look at the weather for your weekend. up next our saturday session, alejandro es ka vad
