7:03 am
bureau of the federal bureau of investigation investigators. learn all about it in the hit cbs midseason replacement series the fbfbii. you know, i would watch that. >> i would definitely watch that. we are not number one in prime time for nothing because we have shows like that. that's how re roll. >> available on all access as well. >> right. well done. welcome to "cbs this morning." brooig this morning vermont senator bernie sanders announced he will run again for the democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential race. the three-term independent senator revealed his plans in an email. he said his goal will be, quote, transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial, and he says environmental justice. >> the 77-year-old former mayor and former congressman is the
7:04 am
tenth candidate to join the most diverse democratic party field in u.s. history. that's very different from four years ago when sanders and former maryland governor martin o'malley were the major opponents to hillary clinton. her only major opponents. only on "cbs this morning" we spoke to sanders about taking another shot at the presidency and why he believes this campaign will succeed. >> reporter: you are going to run for president? >> i am going to run for president. that's correct. >> reporter: what's going to be different this time? >> we're going to win. we are going to also launch what i think is unprecedented in modern american history, a grassroots movement, john, to lay the groundwork for transforming the economic and political life of this country. that's what's different. >> reporter: and that is your theory. without the ground swell, the grassroots, you can't change the politics? >> that's right. somebody can come before you and say i want to do a and b, and that's fine. but at the end of the day the only way that real change takes
7:05 am
place is when millions of people stand up, fight back, and say, enough is enough. we are going to have a government that works for all of us. not just a few. but bottom line for me is i think it is absolutely imperative that donald trump be defeated because i think it is unacceptable and unamerican to, to be frank awith you, that we have a president who is a pathological liar. it gives me no pleasure to say that, but it's true. we have a president who is a racist, a sexist, who is a xenophobe, who is doing what no president in our lifetime has come close to doing, and that is trying to divide us up. >> reporter: all of your opponents will say we have to get donald trump out of the white house. that's not your distinguishing characteristic. >> no. i think what i am very proud of, in a sense this campaign, john, is a continuation of what we did in 2016. you will recall, you may recall
7:06 am
that in 2016 many of the ideas that i talked about, medicare for all, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, making public colleges and universities tuition free, all of those ideas people say, oh, bernie, they are so radical, they are extremely american people just won't accept those ideas. you know what happened over three years? all of those ideas and many more are now a part of the political mainstream. >> reporter: you are saying the party came your way? >> i don't want so say that. i think most people would say that. >> reporter: is that your argument against your competitors, which i was medicare for all before medicare for all was cool? >> i guess that's one way of looking at it. no. i know many of the people, certainly the senators who are running without exception, i am fond of them. they are in some cases my friends. >> reporter: on your medicare for all, you have talked about the fact that polls show 70% are in favor of medicare for all,
7:07 am
but that number drops to 37% if somebody hears private insurance is going to go away, which is what your plan offers. i guess my question is, you are offering something that the polling shows people can get very spooked very quickly about. >> no. but that's because we are going to be taking on the insurance companies and the drug companies who are going to spend a whole lot of money distorting what we believe in. bottom line is the average middle-class family will save money, spend less money on health care, will have more choice, and have broader coverage. >> reporter: the other challenge to your health care plan will be cost. people will say, my goodness, there is no way this -- everybody is going to get covered. >> john, this has -- >> reporter: the estimates that come youout? >> no more out-of-pocket expenses. no more deductibles. the cost of prescription dugs is going down. we expand coverage available to senior citizens. it's a good deal. >> reporter: howard shultz said he would not run if the democrats nominate a moderate.
7:08 am
>> oh, isn't that nice? why is howard shultz on every television station in this country? why are you quoting howard shultz? because he is a billionaire. there are a lot of people i know personally who work hard for a living and make $40,000, $50,000 a year who know more about politics than, in all due respect, howard shultz. because we have a corrupt political system, anybody who is a billionaire suddenly is very, very credible. what mr. shultz, is he blackmailing the democratic party? if you don't nominate bernie sanders, he is not going to run? well, i don't think we should succumb to that kind of blackmail. >> reporter: the other reason is he represents an argument some people make, which is if you are worried about donald trump, the democratic party to win voters in various parts of the country needs to pick somebody who is not so radical. that's also what his theory -- >> well, i think his deepest theory, hey, i'm a billionaire, leave me alone and let me make
7:09 am
as much money as i can without paying my fair share of taxes. that is a problem with our political system. >> well, the debate has begun. wow. i mean, howard shultz has created a company that provides health care for all of his employees and has sent thousands to college. >> he has been on record speaking about what he wants to do for the country. i don't know if that was a fair characterization of howard shultz. he is more than a billionaire. >> bernie sanders is a key voice. >> he is. and his argument is i have been doing this and talking about this for a long time which gives voters a sense of my commitment to these ideas. and tests in primaries are how committed are you really to the true kwlds ideas of our party? so he will be there whether he does well in the polls and voting or not. he will be there as somebody against which everybody else's plans have to be measured. that will have an affect on the race whether he does well or
7:10 am
not. >> we will talk about capitalism, socialism. >> how about his age? he is fired up and ready to go. a term from barack obama's campaign. >> thank you for that segue. we talked to him about his age and a variety of other things. there is no question about the energy behind his candidacy and his ideas. we have more of that coming up. >> all right, john dickerson. good to have both of you back. you were both gone yesterday. we are all back together at the table. 15 states are challenging president trump's plan to build a border wall without the full approval of congress. a lawsuit filed last night calls his decision to declare a national emergency unlawful and unconstitutional showing flagrant disregard for the separation of powers. all 16 attorney generals are democrats. the complaint filed in northern california asked a federal judge for an injunction to stop the president from acting on his emergency declaration. mr. trump predicted that on friday and said he would be sued
7:11 am

7:14 am
attack. cbs news has learned the osundairo brothers have now admitted to police smollett hired them to stage the assault. investigators have requested a follow-up interview with smollett, who has repeatedly denied faking the attack. >> i'm [ bleep ] off. how do you not believe that? >> reporter: smollett's lawyers say he knows the brothers, one of whom was his personal trainer. in a video posted on facebook last month abel osundairo, a bodybuilder, practiced posing to one of smollett's songs. ♪ >> reporter: ola osundairo appeared in the second season of "empire." the men told wbbm, we are not racists. we are not homophobic and we are not anti-trump. we were born and raised in chicago and are american citizens. >> here you have he said/they said. so i'm sure the chicago police are looking for any type of corroborating evidence.
7:15 am
>> reporter: for days, the chicago police have publicly requested another interview with smollett because of all of the new information. they ha much of it undermining what the actor says happened to him three weeks ago today. >> all right. dean reynolds, your reporting has been spot on since day one on this story. thanks to you. >> a lot of people jump to conclusions when you first hear it. a reminder to wait until you hear the whole part of the story. >> right. >> dean, thank you. china's top economic official will hold trade talks in washington later this week. another sign is that efforts to avoid an all-out trade war are making progress, but the trump administration is still urging u.s. allies to shun huawei claiming they gave confidential information to china's government. the justice department indicted huawei last month on 23 criminal charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, and stealing trade secrets.

7:17 am
so that proves we do not have it. >> reporter: they maybe find it hard to believe as much as you deny that china is ever approaching you by using back door access to any customer information that you would say no or have the opportunity to say no. >> translator: our competencies is not evidence. evidence is based on facts. if you have doubts or concerns, it's normal. >> now you know where bianna golodryga is. we will hear more tomorrow on cbs this morning. public school teachers in west virginia are going on strike this morning affecting some 250,000 students across the state. teachers unions are angry that the state legislator is moving to create new charter schools. they say that could take resources away from traditional schools. it would give parents more choice. a year ago 20,000 teachers went on a nine-day strike demanding

8:01 am
that. >> is that your argument against your competitors which is, i was medicare for all before medicare for all was cool? >> i guess that's one way of looking at it. >> 16 states are challenging president trump's plan to build a border wall without the approval of congress. the lawsuit calls his decision unconstitutional. two systems will merge around the tennessee valley and it's going to blow up with a lot of rain for memphis and huntsville. this is day one. it's probably happened for four or five days straight. chicago police have stopped calling smollett the victim in this case and now refer to him merely as the individual who reported the incident. colin kaepernick settled his collusion agreement with the nfl after the firestorm touched off by kaepernick taking a knee. >> people speculate he got between $60 million and $80 million. yeah. now colin is going to be kneeling because his pockets are so full he can't stand up. >> i'm just too heavy to get up.
8:02 am
>> it is a question everybody wants to know. what was it? how much? how much? and we will never know. that chapter is moving another direction. i'm gayle king with john dickerson and norah o'donnell. bianna is on assignment. he urged venezuela's military to turn against president nicolas maduro who has blocked u.s. humanitarian aid. mr. trump said the days of socialism and communism in venezuela and nicaragua are numbered. he also repeated his vow that the u.s. will never move that far to the left. >> socialism is a sad and discredited ideology rooted in the total ignorance of history and human nature. which is why socialism eventually must always give rise to tyranny, which it does. to those who would try to impose
8:03 am
socialism on the united states, we again deliver a very simple message -- america will never be a socialist country. >> the president did not directly mention the democratic party or any of his critics, but the speech echoed his recent criticism of domestic policies proposed by figures in washington including congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and senator bernie sanders. only on "cbs this morning" we spoke to senator sanders. the latest candidate to join the 2020 democratic race. he responded to some of the president's criticisms and talked about lessons learned from his 2016 campaign. what's your opinion of capitalism? >> i think what we see in this country and around the world, there's a lot of great entrepreneurs, but i think what is happening is some of these folks, we have a system which allows these people to accumulate huge amounts of
8:04 am
income and wealth. so when i talk about democratic socialism, somebody wants to call me a radical, okay. here it is. i believe that people are inherently entitled to health care. i believe people are entitled to get the best education they can. i believe that people are entitled to live in a clean environment. people are entitled to have decent paying jobs. that's what i believe. >> the president mentioned socialism in his state of the union. >> i heard that. >> what's he going after there? >> he's goorks peel -- he's going to lie. he's going to say bernie sanders wants the united states to become venezuela. bernie sanders does not want to have the united states become the horrific economic situation that unfortunately exists in venezuela and right now. but bernie sanders wants to learn from countries around the world, why other countries are doing a better job dealing with income and wealth inequality than we are. so you have a president who is a demagogue, a president who is leading us in an authoritarian
8:05 am
direction. i would hope that the american people don't believe too much of what he says. >> democrats, you know this well, come to and say you're not a democrat. why are you running in the democratic primary? >> first of all, i'm a member of the democratic leadership. i've been in the democratic caucus. this is what i will also say. if you look at polling in this country, what you find is that a whole lot of people are dissatisfied with both the democratic and republican parties. and more and more people are seeing -- so if the democratic party is going to do well in the future, they have to reach out to those independents, including a lot of young people, a lot of people of color. and bring them into the democratic party. i think i'm in a good position to do that. >> there were charges in your last campaign that women felt there was discrimination against them, sexism. you met with in of those former staffers. what did you learn? >> i learned that was true. and it breaks my heart, and, you know, our campaign kind of exploded. went from a few fepeople to a l
8:06 am
of people. i'll be honest in telling you some of the people that were hired should not have been hired. and some women went through experiences that they should not have. but let me also say this. in my 2018 campaign for re-election to the united states senate from vermont and in this campaign for president, we are going to have the strongest protocols to protect women, anybody else against any form of harassment. we are going to be training every employee who works for us, and we're going to give people who feel they've been harassed the opportunity to talk to people outside of the campaign. so this has been an issue that's upset me, and we're going to rectify it in this campaign. >> you'll be 79 when you're inaugurated. >> yes. >> that's old by the standards of presidents. >> yes. >> should people be concerned about that? >> i think, you know, when we look at people, whether they are old or they are young, you have to look at the totality of the person.

in america, including the highly scrutinized culture around pledging. between 2005 and 2017, at least 72 boys died in fraternity-related incidents. that's according to the book "fraternity: an inside look at the year of college boys becoming men." alexandria robbins explores the positive and negative qualities of fraternities. she interviewed hundreds of fraternity brothers and saw the journeys of two young men for an entire year. thank you for being here. glad to have you. >> i'm glad to be here. >> it sort of is like a fly on the wall. jake and oliver are their names, and i'm assuming those aren't their correct names. those aren't their correct names, right? >> not their real names, right. >> but you take their thought process as they decided to pledge and as they pledged. >> i don't want to destroy the plot because it's a fun book, so keep reading.

i chose them both because they were smart, ernest, nice fraternity members which are not the people we see in the media or pop cultures. i wanted parents to see their sons so they could better relate to the college culture today. >> is it a damaging process? you say their kids are good, well-behaved kids, and they go into a fraternity and something happens, not to all of them, but it does happen to some that changes their value structures. what did you experience? >> both stories took turns that were surprising. one was very positive and one turned a little bit of a "breaking bad" arc mildly, i guess. >> we cover hazing deaths on this show, and particularly the piazza family. how prevalent is that hazing that goes on in fraternitiefrat? >> not all haze, but the ones who do, it's really like trying
8:18 am
to get pledges so they bond and emerge with hopefully lifelong friends and the feeling they've earned the letters. fraternities can stop it. what they have to do is replace the pledge period with another more challenging bonding activity like, for example, a tough extended community service project that's not run by fraternity brothers so there is no hierarchy. >> you said "animal house" really changed the culture as to how we look at fraternities and hazing. that on some level they made it cool. >> fraternities were actually dwindling in popularity until "animal house" came out of t. then the movie made students think they were supposed to drink. then more fraternities blocked security houses whether or not they were greek. since then it was perpetuated by social mediaia and many student came to college expecting to party and they often did it at fraternity houses. >> because it's the only place
8:19 am
you can drink, even though fraternity houses are sanctioned and not supposed to do it, nevertheless, it happens. >> they are able to drink according to law enforcement administrators. >> this hazing is so devastating and so upsetting to families who are going through it. you say that it's down, but yet it is still happening. >> it is still happening. >> what should parents know if they have a teenage child who is heading off to college at a young, vulnerable time in their life? >> parents who are watching this who have high school or college age kids wants to know how to keep their kids safe. student advisers gave me a ton of suggestions for this. i'll give you three now. one, when you're a high schooler, visit the campus on a party night to see if you're comfortable with the vibe, whether or not you want to go greek. two, if you're interested in joining a greek chapter ask lbgtq chapters about it, whether
