plus, why is apple co-founder steve wozniak running away from cameras? why some students at his coding school say they aren't getting what they paid for. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> they've been absolutely disgraceful in the way they've handled this process and we cannot allow this to become a total fishing expedition by the fbi. >> reporter: the investigation into judge kavanaugh stoke tensions. >> if judge kavanaugh is shown to have lied to the committee, nomination's over? >> oh, yes, i would think so. >> the u.s. and canada have reached a free trade deal. >> the agreement allows greater u.s. access to canada's dairy market and addresses canadian concerns about the threat of u.s. auto tariffs. >> in indonesia, the death toll rising following a powerful earthquake search for survivors getting more dire. the search is on for an ohio woman who went missing in the great smoky mountains.

welcome to "cbs this morning." they're going to end u doing theater productions in the end zones soon. >> bowling for touchdowns, i like it. >> eagles did not fly yesterday. >> no, they did not. >> the fbi is now investigating the sexual misconduct claims against judge brett kavanaugh that have stalled his supreme court nomination. and divided american voters. in a cbs news poll out this morning, 35% of people say the senate should confirm kavanaugh. 37% want senators to vote against him. 28% believe it's too soon to say. >> the outside counsel hired to question christine blasey ford tells republicans on the judiciary committee that a he said/she said case is difficult to prove but, quote, this case is even weaker than that. major garrett is at the white jor, gd morning. >> reporter: good morning. the white house did not want another fbi investigation of supreme court nomination brett kavanaugh, the seventh, depending on how you are

counting these things, but agreed to it because that's the only way to keep his embattled nomination alive. this week, a new clash erupted over kavanaugh's sworn testimony. not about sexual assault but his drinking habits. >> they have the ability to pursue the evidence -- >> reporter: judiciary committee democrat amy chloe batchklobuch warned the white house has tried to protect nominee kavanaugh by ordering a narrow investigation. >> they cannot say only interview the people in the neighborhood on one side of the street. >> reporter: the fbi will not pursue allegations from julie swetnick that kavanaugh was present at parties in the early '80s where women were given excessive amounts of alcohol and sexually assaulted. new transcripts show in an interview with the judiciary committee last week kavanaugh called the allegations total b.s. she's lying, kavanaugh said. the ck thing is ke s a farce. >> reporter: a new front in the kavanaugh saga, how truthful he was about his drinking habits in

high school and college. the fbi may investigate that. >> i did not drink beer to the point of blacking out. >> reporter: a yale college classmate of kavanaugh's, charles chadlettington, said he tried to deceive the senate by downplaying his drinking habits. he said on multiple occasions he saw kavanaugh staggering from alcohol consumption. when brett got drunk, he was often belligerent. ludington added he would take my information to the fbi. >> they have free rein, whatever it is they do. >> reporter: on sunday, lawyers for christine blasey ford says she has not heard from the fbi. but the fbi did interview deborah ramirez, another yale college classmate, who told the new yorker that during a drunken dorm room party in the early '80s kavanaugh thrust his penis in her face and caused her to touch it without her consent. as kavanaugh continues to deny allegations of sexual assault and excessive drinking, the fbi

is expected to interview those dr. ford said were at this party where the alleged assaults occurred. they include kavanaugh friends and associates, leyland keyser, mark judge and p.j. smyth. another friend, chris dudley who also played in the fbi, said he never, ever saw kavanaugh blacked out. ever. >> all right, thank you. senator jeff flake hopes the decision to delay kavanaugh's nomination is seen as an act of bipartisanship. the arizona republican made the last-minute call after he was confronted by protesters inside an elevator on friday. his decision was made in part with democratic senator chris coons of delaware. they discussed the controversy with "60 nutes" last ni here's more of that conversation including parts that were not seen on the program. >> were you going to pursue the compromise that we ultimately saw even before the incident in the elevator? >> you know, i don't know.

i'd hoped to have an opportunity. i'd been looking for an opportunity for quite a while to strike a compromise. but it wasn't until chris was speaking and there hadn't been anybody else. i may have dismissed it. but it was chris. and if we can actually show people that republicans and democrats both can get along here and request something jointly, and we've, you know, we will have accomplished something. >> senator coons, there's a moment in the hearing, where senator flake walks by, essentially taps on your shoulder and the two of you walk out. what happened when you walked out of the room? >> i followed jeff into the ante room and he said very intently, this is tearing our country apart. we have to do something. i'd gone into the hearing having prepared my remarks literally

with jeff in mind, hoping that we might still at this last hour find some path forward. >> i would like to hear from both of you about what must have been the handshake moment. when you agreed that you were going to pursue this. >> about two hours. you know, it was just the two of us and we went into literally a phone booth that was like this big, we're literally squeezed into a phone booth we can barely fit in talking to another senator. there's this whole committee right outside. >> looking in. >> looking in on the phone booth, wondering what's going on in here? >> literally, it was quite a moment. >> i needed to call a couple of my colleagues that had expressed similar concerns that i had about this rush. i wanted to see if they would be with us on this. that's what we talked about. and, you know, having -- talking to some other republicans who felt the same way. then we knew that we had enough leverage to actually get what we

were looking for. a delay and a national investigation. >> now, going forward with the fbi investigation, what are your expectations? >> well, the agreement that we reached was that it would be limited in time. no more than one week. some of the concern on my side, genuine concern, was that this is an invitation for trolls to be out there, looking for more allegations. all you need is an anonymous allegation that would hold up the investigation for longer and longer. >> what are the outstanding questions that you have today that you hope the fbi can answer? >> i would think fairly quickly the fbi can put together a list of witnesses. i think there were 20 additional witnesses. so if they do this right, if they carry out their professional responsibilities, i think the senate will have significant additional facts in front of it. >> what are the chances we're

going to be in exactly this same place a week from now? >> there's a chance. there's a chance. we knew that. if we can say both parties say we have a better process now, and chris has been on television and social media and what not saying, hey, look, we're working together here. people need to see that. >> the senators were also asked what would happen if they learned kavanaugh lied during his confirmation hearing? and both agreed that his nomination would be over. the relationship between the two of them shows how important relationships are when you're on opposite sides of the spectrum. that you can work out a deal when you have a relationship with someone. you're more open to hearing what the other side has to say. >> i wish that had been done sooner. >> i do too. this makes a difference. with brett kavanaugh's nomination still uncertain, the supreme court begins a new term without a ninth justice today. eight currently sit on the high courts. split between four conservatives

and four liberals. that sets up the possibility of split decisions. jan crawford is at the supreme court. jan, good morning. tell us what is the potential impact? >> reporter: well, it means they could tie if the cases are really contentious or divisive. the white house actually tried to avoid that by a time line. they tried to follow when they nominated brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. it was expected he will go through his confirmation hearing and then be confirmed by the senate in time to be on place when the justices return for this first monday in october. but of course it didn't work out that way so now we're in this prospect of a 4-4 tie on some of the more divisive cases. and we saw that when the court went vacant -- or when that seat went vacant for 14 months after the death of justice scalia. i don't think it's going to happen right away. because here's the thing, there's all these big cases on hort rye zo the horizon. you've got abortion, immigration. but right now they haven't taken them yet.

they've got a bunch of -- i don't want to say yawners but they're not the kind of cases that are going to really divide the justices. it's less likely we'll have a 4-4 tie in some of these early on cases. as the term goes on that could well happen. if they split that lower court decision would stand or they would simply reargue it again when the new justice joins the court, gayle. >> really paints the picture, we get it. we all understand what you mean. >> i don't want to call it that but, you know. >> we get it. we get it. >> we won't be talking about those as much. >> exactly. thank you, jan. the u.s., canada and mexico salvaged a free trade deal overnight that was on the brink of collapse. they announced agreement on a replacement for nafta just before the midnight deadline imposed by t administration. the usmca which stands for u.s., mexico canada agreement promises freer, fairer markets and robust ic region. president trump called it a great deal for all three countries this morning. paula reid is at the white house

to show exactly what it covers. paula, good morning. >> good morning. this new daily represents a win for president trump, revamping or doing away with nafta was one of his signature campaign promises. when i covered his rallies, one of the biggest applause lines is when he refers to nafta as one of the worse deals ever made. under this new deal, canada will ease protections on its dairy markets and provide greater access than was once guaranteed under the transpacific partnership treaty. it also makes it harder for automakers to build cars cheaply in mexico and requires a higher proportion of the parts in a car to be made in areas paying a minimum wage of least $16 an hour. in return, canada and mexico will be protected from possible tariffs on cars imported into the u.s. but in a sign of just how contentious these negotiations are, canada did not receive assurances that the president would lift steel and aluminum

tariffs imposed earlier this year. officials say that issue will continue to be negotiated. now, the three countries are expected to sign this deal at the end of november. but if democrats take control of the house in the midterms, they could insist on changes. >> paula, thank you. >> rescue crews in indonesia are racing to find survivors after a pair of natural disaster killed about 508 people. a powerful 7.5 earthquake struck the island of sulawesi friday. it triggered a tsunami. hundreds of people are hurt or missing including many who are believed to be buried in mud in palu. tens of thousands are homeless. ben tracy is in indonesia, traveling to the hardest hit areas. >> reporter: good morning. the death toll here is still expected to climb and that's because it's been extremely difficult for rescuers to get into some of these areas that were hardest hit and where they fear many people have died. trapped by rubble and surrounded

by mud. this woman spent more than 48 hours waiting for rescue. one of over 1 million indonesians impacted by friday's earthquake. cell phone video shows the quake's power as the ground cracked and exploded. the earth rising and falling like waves. the seismic shock also triggered a tsunami. bringing a wall of water nearly 20 feet high roaring over the island of sulawesi. it came without warning after the earthquake cut power to the tsunami a letter system. the twin disasters devastated the city of palu where crowded buildings like mosques and malls collapsed, trapping people inside. until sunday night, cries for help could be heard from the rubble of the hotel, where officials believe 50 people could be buried under the debris. while some crews are still racing to save survivors, others have turned to the grim task of collecting bodies.

the disaster has left nearly 50,000 indonesians homeless and in care of the military. while surveying the devastation, the indonesian president told survivors recovery efforts will take time. we didn't expect it to be like this, he said, so we hope and pray for the community and be patient. a lack of heavy machinery in these coastal areas is slowing efforts to remove rubble and potentially save lives. meanwhile, 1,200 prisoners have escaped from three different prisons rocked by this earthquake. authorities are so focused on the search and rescue operation, they don't have time to try to track them down. for c"cbs this morning," ben tracy, indonesia. under flash flood watches in the southwest u.s. heavy wind and rain from thunderstorms ahead of rosa are already being felt in yuma, arizona. flash flood watches are extended through wednesday in parts of california, arizona, nevada and

utah. iran's military says it fired missiles overnight that had enough range to hit u.s. military bases in the region. at least one missile carried the words "death to america" and "kill friends of satan." they targeted rebel forces in syria blamed for a deadly attack on a military parade in southern iran. in a "face the nation" interview, iranian foreign javad zarif called president trump a bully for withdrawing from the nuclear deal. zarif also supported a highly charged assertion by iran's president. >> president rouhani said that president trump has tendencies resembling a nazi disposition. what does that mean? >> well, the zenophobic tendencies that he has exhibited, the wall, the muslim ban, ban on iranians traveling to the united states, all of these are reminiscent of the type of mentality.

>> secretary of state mike pompeo, as you know, responded quite forcefully to that in an interview with norah o'donnell. >> being forceful is not being logical. iran has stated that we reject the killing of innocent people, no matter what numbers, no matter by who. >> you're talking about the holocaust now? >> of course, yes. >> that it happened? >> of course it did and a huge number of people died. a huge number of innocent people died. but it does not justify deproofing othdeproof i depriving others of their homeland. >> he said there is still a possibility iran could restart its nuclear program. big test now is whether the europeans hang on. he said they'll hang on but the

saturday night. it was the busiest day in the hotline's history. more than 20,000 people called in september alone. survivors are not only seeking help, they're also speaking with a collective fury that's rarely been seen before. >> tedon't tell me that it doest matter what happens to me. >> reporter: this may have been a turning point for senator jeff flake, the moment two sexual assault survivors cornered him in an elevator. hours later, the republican broke ranks and called for an fbi investigation into sexual assault allegations against supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. challenging victims to blame their attackers directly, white house counselor kellyanne conway revealed sunday she, too, is a survivor. >> i feel very em pathetpatheti frankly, for victims of sexual harassment and rape. i'm a victim of sexual assault. i don't expect judge kavanaugh

or jake tapper or jeff flake or anybody to be held responsible e blasey ford's senate testimony on thursday, a record number of callers have flooded the national sexual assault hotline. >> it's common whenever there is a sexual assault story in the news that we see an increase in calls to the hotline, but nothing on this scale. we've heard from so many callers that there's something about having watched dr. ford that they identified with. >> you don't respect her if you don't try to figure out what actually happened. >> miss ford was sympathetic and she was sincere. >> reporter: on "face the nation," john dickerson spoke with senators on both sides noted the change in culture. >> it is now the default in america that accusers must be treated seriously and respectfully. now only the willfully ignorant don't know why women don't report abuse. >> ana maria archila was one of

the two women in that elevator talking to jeff flake over the nomination. she is a co-center director in the department of advocacy based in new york city. ana maria is with us nowment good morning. >> good morning. >> when that elevator door closed with senator flake, did you think that history might change? >> i did not think that. i thought that the interaction that we had just had had touched him and that it had connected with a seed of perhaps doubt and a sense of responsibility that i was hoping he would seek in this moment of making such a consequential decision for our country. i had been going to washington, d.c. for weeks trying to talk to members of the senate about my concerns of nominating brett

kavanaugh to the supreme court because i think that he stands for the rollback of decades of progress for women's rights, for communities of color, for workers, for immigrants. >> you were opposed to brett kavanaugh even before you heard these allegations of sexual assault. >> absolutely. and i was doing the work of making my voice heard, bringing others to make sure that the decision was informed by the appearances of people who stood to lose so much. >> had you met the other woman in the elevator? >> no, we met 15 minutes before. we met and we had time and decided let's go to s flake's office. it was her idea. she was there for the first time. she had never talked to an elected official. she had never told her story. i had just told my story publicly a few days earlier.

i hadn't even told my father. >> she said she hadn't told her mother. >> she hadn't told her mother. we didn't know that about each other. but we went and stood at his office, and right before he stepped out of his office, we found out that -- we saw the statement that came out that said he was getting ready to vote for -- >> that's what made you so angry. >> so when we saw him, we were having all these reactions of how can you do this? we just heard a woman yesterday, dr. christine blasey ford, pour her heart out and tell about attacks to protect our country. i stood in front of his office and told my story to protect my children and the country they're growing up in. >> but ana maria, the prosecutor in the case, rachel mitchell who we've seen, said this is basically a he said-she said case, and this case is even less than that, that these stories are very difficult to prove. what do you say about that? >> i say to that that the reason

why there are thousands and thousands of women telling their stories right now and survivors telling their stories right now is because we recognize in dr. ford's testimony our own reality, our own experiences. that the reason why we don't that the reason why we don't tell is because we are not believed. the reason we don't tell is because we want to protect the people we love from having to hold the pain of perhaps not feeling guilty about not being able to protect us. if you ask me all the details, when was the date of when it happened to me, i couldn't tell you, but i can remember and i know that experience was mine and i see that in dr. ford. >> that's why you said you didn't want to tell your father, because you didn't want him to hold the pain of not being able to protect you. >> that's right. >> ana maria, you wanted senator flake to be a hero. was he? >> i think senator flake showed that people who have the responsibility of making decisions for our country can actually listen to their

conscience and can actually connect on a human level. the reality is that what we were able to do in that elevator was establish human connection. i connected to him because he's a father, i am a mother. this is not just about us today, not just about the politics of these moments, this is about the lives of people we love so much. >> we should say again that brett kavanaugh, of course, has denied these allegations. are you encouraged by an fbi investigation? >> i think the investigation is one important step. the country deserves a process that all of us can trust. i think that we have seen brett kavanaugh enough. i believe that we need to have people in the supreme court who are able to model what it looks like to take responsibility for your own actions and what it looks like to begin the repair process of whatever harm has been caused, and i think he's unable to do that. >> all right, ana maria archila, thank you so much for joining us

♪ like a fool i went and stayed too long ♪ good morning to our viewers in the west, it's monday, october 1, 2018. it's also the first monday in october. doesn't happen that often. welcome back to cbs "this morning." ahead, why the prosecutor hired to interrogate christine blasey ford says her claims would never go to trial. and paul mccartntney gets motiol when he talks about him. but first, here's today's eye opener. the fbi is investigating sexual misconduct claims against judge brett kavanaugh that have stalled his supreme court nomination. >> the white house did not want another fbi investigation, the seventh depending on how you are

counting these things. >> there's a moment in the hearing where the two of you walk out. what happened? >> he said very intently this is tearing our country apart. we have to do something. >> it was expected he go through his confirmation hearing and be confirmed by the senate in time to be on place when the justices return for this first monday but it didn't work out that way. this new deal represents a win for president trump. often one of the biggest applause lines is when he refers to nafta as one of the worst deals ever made. >> the death toll here is still expected to climb and that's because it's been extremely difficult to get into these areas that were hardest hit. >> driven deep and far to left field. >> giancarlo stanton hits a home run. a fan throws it back and he gets his by his own home run ball. >> the fan who caught it threw it back and hit stanton. >> i'm a red sox fan and i love everything about that story. >> pretty good arm. sign him up.

>> when he started to leave the stadium, he was stopped by a security guard. >> he's got a good arm. i know that's not the main point. his arm is like a firearm. he's got a pistol. >> good arm, sorry. the supreme court begins a new term today with eight justices while the fbi investigates sexual misconduct allegations against high court nominee brett kavanaugh so far, the fbi has spoken to one of kavanaugh's three accusers. kavanaugh says he never

assaulted anyone. >> in a memo the outside counsel hired to interrogate christine blasey ford argues no reasonable prosecutor would bring criminal charges based on her testimony. rachel mitchell lists nine apparent weaknesses citing inconsistencies and blasmemorie how she got home. she also writes the activities of congressional democrats likely affected her account. democrats argued kavanaugh is interviewing for a job and the witness was not on trial. >> the delay in brett kavanaugh's confirmation could force president trump to push back a meeting with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein for another week. the president called the meeting after rosenstein reportedly suggested recording the president in secret and discussed whether mr. trump could be removed under the 25th amendment. rosenstein denies that happen. if he's forced out, that could

affect special counsel robert mueller's probe in the election. that is the focus of greg miller's new book "the apprentice, trump, russia and the subversion of american democracy." miller is national security correspondent for the "washington post," part of the team that won the pulitzer prize for reporting on the russia probe. good morning. >> good morning, john, thank you. >> what will happen to rosenstein. >> huge question, really, with big implications. i think it would be hard politically to fire rosenstein ahead of the elections in part because you'll end up looking like, again, you're impeding an investigation which is what the republicans are up against in the kavanaugh hearings right now, how far are they willing to let the fbi go to do its work, how can you do that twice leading up to the election. >> but you write about rosenstein. he's a low key guy. he never wanted to be front and center. he became front and center because of the president and he got back at the president you say. >> he's not a guy who seems to

like the spotlight very much. t heas taken it saga so the white house when trump decides he's going to fire comey, they hang that decision on rod rosenstein. they have him write a memo explaining the rationale. rosenstein is just caught off guard, doesn't see that coming. he doesn't see how he's being set up and that animates him and angers him, motivates him. he's the one who then secretly hid this from the white house, from jeff sessions decided to appoint a powell is and decides on bob mueller. >> but you do such terrific reporting throughout this book and one of the things we picked up on was that former director of the cia michael morrell talks about the russian influence in the 2016 elections. he calls it the political equivalent of 9/11. the question has always been about collusion or coordination with the trump campaign. what you found that broorobert

mueller is zeroing in on? >> he has kept such a close hold on his investigation but the many indictments we've seen so far grive us clues. he's obviously very, very focused on the obstruction front and his interest in these figures around trump, including trump's fixer and lawyer are ways to get at that question and his deal with manafort taking closer to figure out is there collusion, is there a deal? >> what do we know about trump's finances given his business interest? >> his finances have always been sort of really opaque but the closer you look the more troubling they can seem, right? there is a lot of money coming from unknown sources, a lot of weird changes in direction in his financial empire over the year, including going from somebody who believed in borrowing heavily for everything he did to suddenly paying cash

for everything with no real clear sense for where that money came from. >> the people have always looked at the tax returns in part because of the role they played in the campaign, the kind of rosetta stone to understand this. is that your view? does mueller have those tax returns? >> that's a huge question. i imagine he does. we don't know for sure but he can get tax returns pretty easily. i think he has a lot more than tax returns. i mean, he is dealing with trump's basically cfo now and getting lots of information. >> you write about the similarities between trump and mr. mueller which i thought were surprisingly similar. >> i say superficial similarities. >> but you say there are key differences in their leadership style. >> yeah. when you look back at their backgroun background catrumknowns a bully from the beginning from his grade school days liked picking on people, liked making people uncomfortable, liked even picking on teachers and making

them uncomfortable. >> set up a tanning booth in college. >> set up a tanning booth in h mueller is -- has this code that emerges early on in his life and there's a scene in the book where he's at a lunch in his prep school, somebody is getting picked on who is not there to defend themselves and he cuts off the conversation and walks out of the room. he won't stand for that kind of behavior. so you see this violent conflict and clash of ideas and approaches to life and codes between mueller and trump. >> donald trump a daft dodger, didn't go to vietnam and how many did bob mueller do? >> one tour but it's an eventful one. he's wounded, given multiple awards. he enlists because one of his upper classmen at princeton has enlisted ahead of him. >> greg miller, a fascinating book. thank you. >> the it too is interesting.

>> yeah, where did that come from? >> we should note we did reach out to the white house about your book. we didn't hear back from them. john lennon and paul mccartney had a close and complicated relationship,

♪ there are places i remember

effort to deal with surging populations in shelters. the federal government is struggling to find room for more than 13,000 detained children, according to data obtained by the "new york times." new u.s. video shows navy personnel inside the waterlogged aircraft that crashed in the lagoon in micronesia. they landed short of the runway while attempting to last last friday. the video shows a u.s. navy team checking inside the aircraft. all 47 passengers and crew were evacuated before the plane sank in the south pacific. the sidney morning herald reports the melbourne zoo found fruit heavy diets were making animals obese and rotting their teeth. they found that fruits contain unhealthy high amounts of sugar. some have doubled in sugar content in the last few years. now most of that is being

replaced with green, leafy vegetables. i just had a full fruit diet already this morning. >> time to get your cayle akale broccoli. new york daily news reports that the movie "crazy, rich asians" has become the highest grossing romantic drama in over a decade. they made $76 million at the box office in the first weekend. there is already talk about a "crazy, rich" sequel. we knew that was coming. the movie still holds the romcon record of $320 million. his new book "the fifth risk" examines the transition from the obama administration to the trump administration and what he says went wrong with the handover. lewis examines three cabinet

departments, agriculture, energy and commerce. he says the day after the election, no one from the incoming administration showed up, and many of the planned briefings never happened. >> yowsa. we reached out to the white house and those departments for comment. we only heard back from the oceanic and atmospheric administration which falls under the commerce department. in the book lewis writes that the nominee to lead that agency wants to privatize weather data, something he says will negatively impact americans. noaa says it doesn't comment on appointments. michael lewis joins us now to discuss the book. i have to tell you, it's a great read, michael lewis. bravo to you. >> thank you. >> let's start in the beginning where you say lost in transition. because the way it starts, it doesn't seem like the trump administration even realizes they need to have a transition plan in place. >> slightly more complicated than that. chris christie had built a multi-hundred person team to go in after the election.

he would qualify people to do it and trump fired the entire team the day after the election. so what you had on the one hand was the obama administration really had about a thousand people -- they created what was announced as the best course ever created on how the government works. it's not an idealogical course. it's like go to the center for disease control. how did you handle the zika outbreak so you know how to handle it again? these breefiefings never happen. >> this is like passing on best practices. we're going to help you out, going from democratic to republican, and the trump administration didn't show up for meetings at all? >> they didn't show up at all. >> and people were waiting, michael. >> there were parking spots set aside and little finger sandwiches that went stale. it was unbelievably sad. the people were kind of wounded about this. what i do is go get the briefings.

when i go knock on people's doors and say i wouldn't know how the weather service works, people will say to me, i'm so glad you called because i've never had a chance to give my briefing yet. >> you went to people's houses, though, michael. what would you have said to the trump administration? >> because they all left. >> this matters because it's not just stale finger sandwiches, these are the people that handle the big stuff that can go wrong that we're not thinking about but it's too late once it starts to. >> we have this daily news thing that happens, and in the background there is this thing called the government and the government is actually -- you want to think about what it is. it's a portfolio of risks that get managed. catastrophic risks in many cases. many of them are things you would not even imagine are risks. >> like what is th? >> how about the risk that inequality is so bad there is a revolution in the country. how about the risk that basic science doesn't get done which might lead to the cure for cancer. which there is a process that's going on there.

how about the money supply getting debased? >> the department of energy controlling nuclear sites. >> in the end, this is what kind of triggers me, is when rick perry is nominated to be the secretary of energy, he had said he wanted to eliminate the department as a presidential candidate and they couldn't remember its name. now, you make a couple calls and you realize this department holds all the nuclear weapons, and those nuclear weapons are assembled in the panhandle of texas where he was governor, and he didn't know they did that? that ends up being typical. the idea that you don't need to know anything to run this enterprise is at the bottom of the trump administration. >> you talk about the caliber of the people that were in the white house, and then you talk about the people that were brought in to replace him. can you talk about the contrast? >> not just the white house, the federal government, right? a little example. >> yeah. >> so inside the department of agriculture, which is this vast, complicated enterprise that if we didn't have it, it would be catastrophic. there is a $3 billion a year

program to invest in basic science. and the science is preparing us for -- essentially preparing us to have a food supply after climate change. it enables us to adapt the foods to climate change. and the person running that was a woman named kathy wotecki, and she was an exquisitely trained scientist who had been in jobs like that for a couple decades. she had done original research that was breathtakingly interesting. she is replaced by a right wing talk show radio host from iowa who has no science background at all. and he's supposed to administer this $3 billion budget and decide who is going to get the money to do what research? this stuff happens over and over again. >> you're talking about a truck driver, a worker at at&t, an attendant now has these positions. >> they only exhibited loyalty to donald trump and he cared about nothing else. >> michael lewis, we'll have to
