house. so, major, what is the administration's strategy. >> john, washington knows that government shutdowns, even partial one, are costly, inefficient and politically brdouhahiut ws, iasng why?to president trump doesn't have a strategy to avert it or if he does he hasn't shared it with congressional republican leaders. what does the president want? $5 billion for construction of a border wall on the u.s.-mexico border. problem one, house republicans don't have the votes to pass that, diminishing the president's leverage. that's why those here at the white house suggest to the president a short-term spending bill to get things in the government funded into january when there will be a new congress under democratic leadership and the president can fight the battle on those terms and the president hasn't signed off on that and his leverage appears to be minimal. houserats a senate decrat, e present'ems t oc very muc dh to accept that and until he changes the terms of lookg towa he'seading's

paula reid in wash. we know the special counsel has praised michael flynn for giving substantial assistance to the government. is that why he may not face much time in prison? >> reporter: exactly. he's one of the only people mueller has recommended receive almost no jail time. now we know that he has met with investigators 19 times and provided what they describe as a substantial assistance, but what we don't know is exactly what he has shared with investigators. most of that remains a secret. the only thing we do know is that he has provided evidence of contacts between the trump transition team and russia. >> also flynn's legal team has said he deserves a light sentence because he was caught off-guard when he was originally approached by the fbi in january 2017. is that a fair defense? >> reporter: well, y. ynn'fl warned that lying to the fbi was a crime that the special counsel punched back pretty hard against

the interrogation. he invited fbi investigators to the white house to speak with him and this is a man with three decades of public service. he has often worked closely with the fbi and the special counsel argues he's not someone that needed to be reminded that lying to federal investigators is a serious crime. >> good point. paula, thank you. the federal reserve begins a two-day meeting today and is expected to raise interest rates. it comes as stocks opened higher after sharp declines hammered americans' 401(k)s. the dow plunged 507 points yesterday and all 30 dow stocks declined and the s&p 500 dropped 54 points. it's down nearly 5% for the year. cbs news financial contributor melanie hobson is here to explain the market uncertainty and join us at the table. so good to see you. >> good morning. >> investors, as you know, do not like uncertainty and this was the lowest in 14 months. what's the deal? >> the market doesn't like uncertainty either and this is the story. we have uncertainty in spades

right now so it's not tomorrow's federal reserve's mting they've widely telegraphed that they're going to raise rates tomorrow. it's what are they going to do in 2019? that has the market rattled. on top of that we have our politics weighing on this market. will we have a government shutdown on friday or not? no one knows. let's go to the uk and brexit. how are they going to lead the european union? theresa may survived the no-confidence vote last week, but still feels like she has one foot on ice and another on a banana peel. we have macron's problems in france and the skirmish and all of that uncertainty is weighing on this market. >> i read one on wall street, if santa claus doesn't show up soon u.s. stocks will end up in negative territory for the year? >> let's put that in perspective. it's been a decade since we've had a down year. ten years. last down year, 2008, that was a doozy, but this is not normal that the market goes up in ten years. we should know trees do not grow

to the sky. i've said that before. down markets >> is is your way of saying don't freak out? >> yes. we've gotten used to no volatility and it's been unusually calm over the last decade. i know it doesn't feel like that, but it really has. this is more normal. we're just not used to it. >> we started the show with a potential government shutdown. what impact would it have on the stock market? >> i don't think it would be a good thing. it gets to the dysfunction of our politics. i think everyone knows at some point the government is going function and that we're not going to go for any extended period of time without the government functioning. we've had this happen before and so that's a good thing, but i think at the end of the day it just shows that these are self-inflicted wounds and it just shows that anything can happen. this is not rational. a government shutdown is not rational. >> as you said, many headwinds facing the market and the economy, as well. >> a lot of good news out there. the u.s. economy is strong.

unemployment is still super low. things have been going -- while the fundamentals look good even if the growth is starting to slow around the world. >> our blood pressure has gone down a little bit. >> calm down. >> thank you, melody. we appreciate it. cbs says former chairman and ceo leslie moonves will not get the $120 million severance payment his contract called for. the cbs board of directors said yesterday there are grounds to terminate moonves for cause, allowing the company to block that payout. board members made the decision after reading the results of an independent investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against moonves and the overall culture at cbs. jericka duncan is here with the board's description of that report. jericka, good morning. >> good morning, bianna. two law firms were investigating allegations against leslie moonves to help the board decide if they had the grounds to terminate him without severance pay. the board said yesterday

investigators found it did. once a television titan, leslie moonves' more than two decade career at cbs came to an end in september after multiple women came forward accusing him of sexual misconduct and retaliation. on monday cbs moved to deny moonves his $120 million golden parachute saying its outside investigation concluded he violated company policies, breached his contract and failed to cooperate fully with their investigation. just last week moonves faced allegations from another high-profile accuser. >> he says, you know, why don't you let me take you home? i said no, i have a ride. >> ssctre a her show "cybill" was taken off the air in 1998 after she rejected moonves' advances? >> how soon afte you findid dr th you were having ish the series? >> quiteho after ward. >>

do you bt d if h hd to e show? >> it would have run another give years. >> a leaked draft in which investigators say they found issues with cbs's anti-harassment and other policies. they found moonves were typically allowed to sidestep anti-harassment training and some people in the news division had had their assistants complete the training for them. cbs news had faced scrutiny. it fired "60 minutes" executive director jeff fager for sending a threatening message to this reporter and it fired charlie rose over sexual misconduct allegation, but the cbs board said monday investigators concluded harassment and retaliation are not pervasive at the company. we ask conclusion. one employee told us they agree with the board'smplosaid cultur

of harassment is being overlooked here. a different employee told us they feel secrecy allows the problems at cbs to fester for decades and without transparency this process has zero credibility. they must release the investigators' report. >> cbs declined to answer additional questions when we reached out including whether it plans to release the report. the company did say it has begun to take robust steps to improve the working environment for all employees. an attorney for moonves said in a statement the conclusions of the cbs board were foreordained and without merit. he vehemently denies any non-consensual sexual relations and cooperated with investigators. he denied retaliating against women and it is unclear if moonves will fight the decision on his pay. john? >> all right. jericka, thank you. >> it is clear that the reckoning continue, and you can't provide solutions until

you know fully what the problem is and what exists and so that secrecy that still exist, the people that have covered up that behavior that still needs to be clarified until we can make meaningful changes and i do believe that those on the board. there are now six women on the board and there are five men and it is a majority female board and they're pushing for a change. >> the board wants transparency and they want the right thing. i'm also of the camp to see the report so we know what we're dealing with and how you can change it and get rid of the people who no longer need to be here. i do hope it's a brand-new day. >> we have been promised that a new day is on the horizon and we are holding firm to the ideament. >> yes. >> a new day in the new year. the wife of a former u.s. army commando charged with murder says she would welcome a pardon from president trump. major matthew golsteyn was

charged in the killing of a suspected bombmaker in afghanistan who allegedly killed two u.s. marines in 2010. golsteyn could face the death penalty. president trump tweeted that golsteyn is a u.s. military hero any that he would review the case. we spoke with julie golsteyn last night. >> one of the implications of that tweet is that the president might pardon your husband. are you hoping for a pardon? >> as i said before, whatever it takes to have justice for matt if it's a pardon, great. >> so just for the record. did your husband assassinate this suspected bomb maker? >> assassinate? no. my husband took care of an enemy combatant who did harm and was planning to do harm -- more harm, to not only american soldier, but the afghans that we trere

day. >> what were you telling him? >> we were hugging him so hard and he was smiling, but that's the last thing i've seen from him. >> why have you chosen to keep him on life support? >> to have a chance for his mother to come see him. >> hassan met his wife shaime swileh, hassan, a u.s. citizen decided to take abdullah, also a u.s. citizen, to doctors in california, but he had to leave his wife behind. as a yemeni citizen, she can't enter the u.s. under the trump administration's travel ban targeting several muslim-majority nations. >> the president says that this ban was necessaryopur ve thas w happening ? iea -- anyone that comes to the u.s. they're not going to come and just do anything bad, you know? they're coming for family. >> hassan, backed by a coalition

with a woman, it reminded many people of another incident involving an nfl player nearly five years ago. you may remember in february, 2014, baltimore ravens running back ray rice was seen dragging his unconscious fiancee out of an elevator. a second video revealed later showed that rice had punched her and knocked her out in the elevator. his team dropped him, and he's not played professional football since. rice and his fiancee, janay, married weeks later. they now have two children. in an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning," we spoke to ray and janay at their connecticut home. we learned how they make their marriage work and how the kareem hunt video has affected their lives. i'm wondering what you thought when you first saw the kareem hunt tape. >> obviously, you know, you look back, and you see the similarities. i knew that our name was >> i do think people see you as a poster boy for domestic violence caught in a very graphic way on tape.

>> yes. >> and how do you feel about that? >> early on, you could feel like why do they keep bringing my name up? you could make excuses, or you can do the hard work. >> i've heard you say that there are many underlying things. and as you've had time to reflect and really do a deep dive for both of you -- >> yes -- >> what was the answer you came up with yourself about the underlying issues? >> one of the underlying issues for me was i never wanted to ask for help. football for me was my counseling. it was my therapy. it was my psychologist. it was everything. >> did you see domestic abuse in your own home when you were growing up? >> it was more of my mom going through, you know, a bad relationship. that's when i started to realize i was normalizing abnormal things. i was a man at 11ecame a boy. >> and that was a revelation to you about -- about there are many different kind of abuse. is that what you're saying to us? >> yes.

>> and how to process that? >> yes. we didn't have a physical abuse problem. but i can say there were different forms of abuse that took place. it was emotional? financial, you get to the physical and that's obviously like -- if it's one time, it's still one time too many. >> i'm curious, janay, did you think that you were in an abusive relationship knowing what he just said, that there are many forms of abuse? >> no. i did -- >> you did not? >> i just thought we were being a typical, you know, boyfriend and girlfriend. like we argue, and -- we argue and i didn't really sit back and think about it until i was forced to think about it. >> janay rice has never seen the video from inside the elevator. the one where ray punches her. i think it's hard for people to understand -- >> right -- >> why you haven't looked at that tape. >> i was there. i lived it. i don't really need to relive it over and over again just to appease the world. >> you've also said that was the first and only time. >> yes. >> what do you think, ray, when you look at it now?

>> i hate that person. soere theli, erybwasi teing dhashiem. derv,e and t sheecond other. i actually got my second chance. >> how so -- >> right here. >> oh. with your wife. >> during my darkest moments, you know, i used to ask myself how could she want to support me. >> a lot of people wondered that. >> that's understandable. but i think what's misunderstood about us is that the friends we were before the incident, that's why like i said when i look at kareem hunt, i want to know what his life was like. i want to know what happened in life. you know, i know kareem moolcar apologized and expressed remorse. >> guys, apologies mean nothing if people don't feel, a, you've done the work -- >> you've done the work -- ahat this isn't just some attempt to get back into football. >> see, that -- for me, that is

something that i understand why it was being said early on. >> perceived that way -- >> about is this a ploy to get back into football. i mean, i'll be the first to say it. i don't have to retire to tell you i'm done with football. the pressure i was under of being a star, that was the person i hate the most. >> why did you give this man a second chance? >> i know it's hard for people to understand. >> it is. w nhthe'm not here to force una iop t o was going leave or not because i knew that that wasn't him in that moment. this is somebody i've known since i was 15 years old. i knew that we had work to do. and i was willing to move forward and put in the work. >> you said that you dut y tco ce? i de>>lyyou think the nfl is taking domestic abuse? >> i've met with --

>> who? >> i met with the nfl. they're trying to do the right thing. i know they are working with groups to try to get more of an understanding, and they're doing the work. >> reporter: in addition to kareem hunt, the nfl is also dealing with reuben foster. last month the san francisco els doter a mesteric v49iolence arrest. just days later, the washington redskins signed him. though he's ineligible to play or practice with the team while the nfl continues to investigate. how can people take that the nfl is taking abuse against women seriously? >> i know the nfl, they're not trying to push people who do bad things, abuse against women. they're not trying to push those guys on the field. >> have you spoken to kareem hunt? >> no, i haven't. >> do you want to? >> i would love to that's willing to go the long haul. >> well, we reached out to the nfl whiche league's domestic violence education program. the nfl says that rice has an important message to share, and

that his commitment is sincere. domestic violence and you need help, you can call the national domestic violence hotline. that's 1-800-799-7233. i also thought that his commitment is very sincere. he does a lot of speaking to nfl players and college players. he's coaching high school football at his old high school. he volunteers there. but i was really impressed with janay rice, i have to say. she's not a little mouse wife. i couldn't understand after knowing and seeing that video how she was able to take him back. and she says that this was the first and only time -- i pressed them to that. i said, that defies everything that we know about domestic violence in any type of relationship. they both insist that was the case. >> remember, he not only punched her, he knocked her unconscious. >> exactly. i know. >> the first videotape we saw was just of ray rice dragging her. then i had the interview with roger goodell at the time. i am glad -- they seem like they are in a good place.

>> they are, norah. >> they're getting the therapy they need to discuss this and maybe try and help people learn something more about domestic violence, whether they were a victim themselves and then repeated that behavior and how to end it. >> and that's what they mean about hard work, to your point. they've had extensive counseling. they still have counseling and credit the counselor. and another thing i think is telling, her parents have been married for 30 years, and her parents support their relationship. >> as you pointed out, when people have been givg apologies recently, they have one answer, it's short, and let me get back to the other thing. there's no way you can sit in the interview and give the answers ray rice did -- that many answers at that depth without feeling it and feeling it -- >> he didn't run away from it. i sort of had a tsk-tsk judgmental attitude, i have to say. he didn't run away from any of the questions. that i both embraced anything that we wanted to talk about. >> to hear him say he didn't deserve a second chance in the nfl was something most people don't expect to hear. >> exactly. and doesn't want to play football again, and his be -- she gave him the second chance and that's what matters to him. you can hear the full interview with the rices on the "cbs this

there's no clear plan to avoid a shutdown. a new poll finds 54% of americans oppose a government shutdown, 43% say they blame president trump and the republicans if it happens. >> this week marks one year since the passage of the tax cuts and jobs act, reducing tax rates for individuals and increased standard deduction. it also cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. since the tax cuts took effect this year, they've been credited with boosting the omy. they'v alson crized for not helping working families. as part of our series "issues that matter," we're taking a closer look at the impact of those tax cuts and the state of the economy, one year later. gary cohn served as director of the economic council and chief economic adviser to president trump during the tax debate. he resigned from his white house post in march and joins us for an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." good morning. great to have you at the table. >> thanks for having me. it's great to be here.

>> s&p is at a 14-month low. we continue to see these wild market sell-offs. former fed chairman janet yellen said she's really concerned about another financial crisis because of too much deregulation and corporate borrowing. is she wrong? >> let's start with the u.s. economy. that's really what's core to everything. the u.s. economy is really strong right now. we're going to have 3.3% gdp growth in the united states this year. we have jobs or unemployment at all-time -- not all-time but 50-year low right now. we've g uneyment rate in the united states. we have wages growing at 3.1%. the more interesting part of the wage growth is the bottom end of workers, lower paid workers growing at a rate than hirer paid workers. corporate spending, we're starting to see it come back into the system, which is exactly what we had projected when we passed the tax bill. we gave companies a five-year

window to expense all of their capital expenditures. we've seen in recent weeks, companies like apple and amazon announce mega billion dollar plants where they're really going to go out and build new plants, hire new people. that will start hitting the economy in the beginning of next year and we think we'll see a lot more of that in the next couple of years. we think the fundamental economy in the united states is very strong. >> we've yet to see corporate spending really make an impact as far as the gdp overall. we anticipated a sugar rush immediately following the tax cut. you were really selling this as a way, and a mechanism for companies to reinvest in the economy. i want to play back a clip of you last year, talking to a group of ceos about this. >> can i ask you all a quick question? if the tax reform bill goes through, do you plan to increase investment, your company's investment, capital investment? just a show of hands, if the tax reform goes through. okay. >> why aren't the other hands

up? why aren't the other hands up? >> so the ceos were really -- most of it was seen in stock buyback and dividends. are you not disappointed in the results? >> no. if you look at the numbers we are seeing exactly what we thought we would see in expenditures. if you look at a small, medium-sized business today, the regulatory process they need to go through to spend is not that difficult. if you're a sole proprietier that owns a pizza restaurant, nail salon or dry cleaner and you want to expand to a second sto store, you need to go out and lease the store. if you're go iing out to buy a huge manufacturing facility in the united states that's going to hire 15,000, 20,000, 30,000 people you need to go out and acquire the land, get the permits. t architects. you need to go through that

entire process. it takes well over a year. when we did our tax plan, which was based on a ten-year cycle, we assumed we would get no major cap ex in the first year. on stock repurchases, at the makes enormous sense for them to repurchase stocks now, especially since stocks are low. yields at some of these stocks, the boards of these companies are making good fiduciary decisions for their shareholders. when you buy back a stock, what happens? someone sells you a stock, that person pays tax on that gain and that person reallocates the capital to another business that needs the capital. the stock market is acting just as it should in reallocating capital to those businesses that need capital. >> the promises made with the tax cut is that the wages would go up faster first and it wouldn't go into stock buybacks and plants and that. there would be more going into wages. some wages are up, but it's been eaten away by a little inflation. let me ask you about the future. >> i don't think that's right. when you see 3.1% wage growth the tax reform was done, we had

zero wage growth. we've had real wage growth in the united states for the last year. you cannot deny that. >> you also had tariffs, which are a tax, as you agree, right? >> i agree. they are consumption tax. >> so you have a tax on these kind of worker. a lot of them buy chinese goods, which are now more expensive, farmers are having to get bailed out for the second time by the u.s. government. you have a policy here where you have tariffs, a bailout to fix the problem that's happening with the tariffs. in the future, if that's the situation with that, we also have deficit and debt numbers that have gone up considerably. revenue is up after the tax cut but not at the rate that it would be under previous policy. those are big, long-term problems for the economy. >> i'm not going to sit here and deny that we have a debt problem. we have a huge debt problem. i'll be the first to tell you that. our debt problem is not a revenue problem. as you just said, our revenue is up this year, even with the tax legislation. we have a spending problem in this country.

>> it would have been higher under previous policy. >> it may have been higher. you don't know that. you don't know that. the interesting thing is you say the revenue would have been higher. we don't know if the 500-plus companies that went out and gave bonuses to their workers weeks after the tax plan was enacted, we don't know if those bonuses would have been given, we don't know if those pensions would have been funded. we don't know if those companies that raised wages right after the tax plan, if they would have been raised or not. so you say it would have been higher. we don't know that. what we do know is the economy right now, because of the tax money, is very strong and we continue to grow. we also do know -- and i agree completely, weanfi pro in united states. and we have to figure that out. and we just can't keep spending deficit this country. >> the president has said he will shut down the gen if he doesn't get funding for his border wall. how much do you think that will hurt the economy and how much will it hurt investor's confidence?

is that a good move in your opinion, first? >> no. we never want to see the government shutdown. shutting a government down or shutting a business down is never a good move. i'm hopeful that the congress can get together in the next couple of days here and deliver something to the president that makes sense and he's willing to sign. >> dof any regrets about your time in the trump white house? >> absolutely not. it was the most amazing experience in my life. anyone who gets the opportunity to serve this country, they should take that opportunity. it was a spectacular experience. >> are you offended by the term globalist, which is what the president called you, anti-semitic? >> i'm absolutely not offended as i am a globalist. i believe we live in a globalized world and the united states is a very integral part of a globalized world and we have to figure out how to live as a good citizen in a globalized world. so do the chinese. so do the russians. so do the middle eastern coun we cannot change that back. >> how many times, gary, since you left, have you said boy i wish i was back there at the white house? since it was such an amazing experience for you? how many times have you said --

>> i know you will find this shocking to believe, but i'm really enjoying my time out of the white house. my family, in the beginning, was enjoying having me around. i think they're getting sick of that but i'm pleased with what i'm doing now.

for many americans eating healthier would be a top new year's resolution. one expert says we should start by new mexieliminating gluten. eating foods high in carbohydrates can cause brain inflammation and trigger anxiety, depression, and adhd. it he updated and revised his be bestselling book, "grain brain,: your brain's silent killers." in a statement, the sugar association says this -- it believes that sugar is best enjoyed in moderati decades of research s t dr.ta i have to say i'm on the side of the sugar people. when i was reading your book, i have to tell you this -- i was reading your book, that night i had truffle pasta because truffles are in season, and i had a raspberry-filled doughnut for dessert. i'm doing all the things wrong that you say ton -- that's an anomaly. i don't normally eat that badly. i was doing all the things that

you say don't do. you're saying we shouldn't eat grain at all if we want to have a healthy brain. >> actually, let me comment on the sugar issue. >> please. >> we should definitely believe the sugar industry. like we should have believed the -- shouldn't have believed the tobacco industry years ago when they told us smoking cigarettes was good for our health. to have grain if it's gluten free is not the end of the world. it's the total carbs we're interested in the last session on junkfeursle, day and long term. it's important to understand that the choices we make today while we're younger are going to have an effect on the brain as we get older. and once that happens, there's actually very little we can do. so prevention is the mantra of the day. >> you said you heard of a cancer cancer survivor but never heard of an alzheimer's survivor. it starts in the 20s and 30s. the changes we should be making. >> how incredible it is that the "journal of the american medical association" last month published a review of the

so-called alzheimer's medications and indicated that not only do they not work, but they actually are associated with more rapid cognitive decline. so we really have to emphasize prevention. and we have that understanding now. >> you're suggesting that grain causes alzheimer's? >> i'm suggesting that sugar and high carbohydrates is absolutely related to alzheimer's. and not just that dr. perlmutter is suggesting but that's what the most well respected peer review jal areelling us. that's the inconvenient truth we need talk about. >> so the alzheimer's association said, who doesn't have the same kind of relationship i don't think, the one you're suggesting with the sugar folks, says this about -- david perlmutter cites research and guidelines that may have value for some health conditions buotppith her dementias." >> when you're getting a statement from an organization that is supported by makers of so-called alzheimer's drugs, that sort of mentality is not surprising. the bottom line is we know

alzheimer's is to a great extent a preventable disease. and a disease for which we have no treatment. so my mission -- it's been for decades to get that information out to you and the rest of the world that our lifestyle choices are fundamentally important in terms of determining your brain's destiny. so you know, the idea of waiting for a magic pill, there's nothing on the horizon. so -- >> don't you agree that the alzheimer's association would want to do everything possible to eradiate the disease? >> i think that they would. and i would agree with you. and i think that the understanding that lifestyle choices are really very, very important is something that they've not fully embraced as yet. that's my mission. >> so what is the lifestyle choice that somebody needs to make immediately to avoid the -- >> the biggest issue -- sugar. and how incredible that we led the segment talking about sugar. that is according to the ""new england journal of medicine"" something that powerfully relates to increased risk for

alzheimer's disease. i want to be clear -- >> what types of sugar? >> simple sugars. anything that's going to raise your blood sugar. as they published way back in -- that i put in the first edition of "grain brain" in 2012. that there's a perfect correlation between even subtle elevations of your blood sugar well below the range of diabetes and future risks of becoming an alzheimer's patient. >> you talk about the connection between diabetes and alzheimer's. i thought it was interesting. >> yes. if you become a type-two democratic y diabetic you may have quadrupled has no treatment. why increase your risk for either of the issues? you want to do your best to reduce risk, that's what prevention -- >> can i ask you to respond to dr. david katz, yale university, well regarded scientist there. >> i agree. >> he said, i also find it sad that your book is filled with a whole bunch of nonsense. it's misleading people, suggesting that there is a magic

cure for something as complex as alzheimer's. >> the book doesn't address the cure for alzheimer's. that's his -- where he got sidetracked. i have a lot of respect for him. people with all due respect tend to be down on what they're not up on. the book has everything to do with prevention. so i -- you know, somebody talks about treatment of alzheimer's, that's not what "grain brain" is about. >> three simple stems you can make. >> get the sugar out of your diet, increase your dietary fat. who knew? fat is your friend. >> exercise -- >> eat. we'll get there. eat things like olive oil. nuts and seeds. fat was taken off the table as we know for the wrong reasons 30 years ago. reality is your brain needs fat. your brain is -- not just your brain, not taking on you --, aco >> eggs. remember the dreaded eggs? you shouldn't eat eggs -- >> the third thing? >> aerobic exercise. you don't have to be cardi b. on your team. you can do it - >> we've got to go. exercise is key. >> you bet. >> that's right.
