the american people will not stand-erine for it any longer. we tropicana handle the juice. toyota. let's go places. word play with stephen colbert. that was good. >> that was very funny. >> orange you glad he did it? >> glad he didn't say persimmon. >> very, very good. >> they're going to sign you up to go over with colbert. welcome to "cbs this morning." we've got new information this morning on that deadly plane crash in ethiopia that may undermine boeing's claims about a suspect's piece of software on its new 737 max jets. reports this morning say the ethiopian airlines pilots turned off the system designed to prevent the plane from stalling, but somehow it then started again.

the boeing 737 max is grounded over software problems linked to two crashes that killed more than 300 people. chris van cleve has been covering this boeing investigation. good morning. >> good morning. these are raising new questions, indicating the crew of ethiopian airlines reportedly did follow boeing emergency procedures and turned off that anti-stall system but they may have turned it back on in an effort to regain control of the plane. this reporting by reuters and "the wall street journal" broke overnight and indicates the system may have activated as many as four times, leaving the pilots unable to regain altitude and control. the plane, remember this, dived almost immediately after takeoff. these reports are bringing into question what boeing and faa have been saying about the ease of turning off these stall prevention features. after the crash of lion air 610, that crash back in october killing 189 people, an alert was sent to pilots explaining the

existing procedures to use to turn it off. yesterday the senate commerce committee announced it was investigation the faa's approval of the max, citing whistle-blower reports questioning the training of faa inspectors. the 737 max was grounded back in march until there is a software fix addressing the anti-stall system. on monday boeing announced that fix could take a few weeks longer than original believed. john? >> chris, thank you. extraordinary. federal investigators urgenly want to know why a chinese woman entered president trump's mar-a-lago resort carrying a device with computer malware. yujing zhang is accused of making false statements over the weekend and lied to security to gain access. the president was in florida at the time but not mar-a-lago. >> a secret service statement said it does not determine who is interviewed or welcomed at mar-a-lago. it is the responsibility, they say, of the host entity.

a washington journalist has question about security at the resort. a lot of people do. paula zahn has more on this story. paula, good morning. >> so many questions. prosecutors say when zhang arrived at mar-a-lago, she told the secret service she there to use the pool. the club believed she was latest to a member and let her in. but she didn't even have a swimsut. instead two chinese passports and thumb drive loaded with malware. president trump has visited the winter white house 23 times since taking office. this past weekend, he was already hitting the links at a nearby trump golf course by the time zhang snuck into the club. prosecutors allege zhang first approached a mar-a-lago checkpoint saturday shortly after noon. even though security could not find her on access lists, the club believed she was a relative of a member and allowed her access onto the property. when zhang arrived in the main reception area, a staffer asked several times why she was at

mar-a-lago. zhang finally responded she was there for a united nations chinese-american association event. the staffer knew there was no such event and alerted the secret service. but zhang passed at least five secret service agents and half a dozen signs before she was apprehended. >> this is a multiple perfect storm where she lied past checkpoints. >> our cbs national security analyst. >> they will look at when did she enter into the united states? >> agents found four cell phones, one laptop, external drive and thumb drive containing malware in her possession. this incident highlights the challenge of security at a private club. >> there are members, guests of members and large events. it just represents a vulnerability that the secret service is charged with mitigating. >> zhang allegedly told agents her chinese friend charles told her to travel from china to florida to speak with a member of the president's family about

foreign relations. the secret service has not been able to corroborate that story. they say the investigation is ongoing. today here at the white house, we've certainly seen additional secret service agents on duty. >> fascinating. that comes in the context, of course, but it is a national security apparatus. including my previous interview with the previous fbi director that the chinese are systematically stealing secrets from america, business secrets, corporate secrets. it is a huge concern. i think this story continues to grow as paula pointed out. >> i have a feeling they'll get smf some information from her. doesn't one always go to the pool without your bathing suit? that's a bit of a clue. president trump is standing by his pledge to grant republicans the push for new health care but said he will delay it until after the 2020 elections. the president is saying it is his decision but the truth is, it came after senator mitch mcconnell, who runs the senate,

the boss there, said the senate will not revisit health care before the elections. >> i made it clear to him we would not be doing it in the senate. he did say as he later tweeted, he accepted thcy cordes is on c hill with what's behind this republican split on health care. good morning. mitch has a way of setting things straight. >> he sure does and now the president is doing a little fancy footwork here. republicans essentially balked when he started publicly pushing them to try again on health care. republicans argued that any plan that they would come up with now is sure to die in the democratically controlled house. so the president backed down, for now. >> we're going to come up with a health care plan, we're not going to vote on it. >> president trump laid out part of his 2020 game plan last night, vowing to dominate democrats on the issue of health care. >> we have the crime, we have the police, we have the military. we have so much. they have health care right now.

we have to take them away from him. >> the president said voters will love his unwritten plan. >> we promise the people if you vote for us, all of us running, we will vote for this. it's going to happen. >> the president's promises this week surprised republicans and drawn mockery from democrats. >> they will come up with their plan in 2021. translation, they have no health care plan. >> republicans controlled both houses of congress the president's first two years in office but failed to repeal and replace obamacare. polls show health care was the most important issue to voters in the 2018 midterm elections when republicans lost control of the house. and it's been a hot topic for democratic presidential candidates. >> you would not believe that we cannot make health care a right for all people. >> health care should be a right and not a privilege for all americans. >> access to affordable health

care should be a right for all, and not a privilege for those who can afford it. >> a recent survey found last year alone americans borrowed an estimated $88 billion to pay for health care costs. one in four skipped treatment because it was too expensive. >> the deductibles are so high that nobody gets to use it unless you're in serious condition, so serious, that frankly, the last thing on your mind is health care. >> this all started a week ago when the department of justice at the urging of the white house took a new position, pushing for the full repeal of obamacare in the courts. the republican leader, mitch mcconnell, argued that isn't going to happen any time soon, so his party, he says, has a lot of time to come up with a replacement plan. john? >> nancy, thanks so much. chicago voters made history by electing the city's first

black female mayor. lori lightfoot won a land slide victory last night over toni preckwinkle, taking about 74% of the vote. lie foot carried all 50 chicago election districts in the runoff. we're outside city hall in chicago with details of the anti-establishment candidate's win. good morning. >> good morning, lightfoot's victory marks another milestone. she will be the first openly day mayor in the history of chicago. she and her opponent, toni preckwinkle, also a black woman, both consider themselves progressive but preckwinkle is a longtime public official and lightfoot never held a public office and that was part of her appeal. it was an historic moment in chicago publics, incoming mayor lori loyte foot made her triumphant entrance on stage alongside her wife and daughter. >> you did morning make history.

you created a movement for change. >> reporter: lightfoot was an unlikely outsider who promised to break what she called chicago's cycle of corruption. >> together we can and will finally put the interests of our people, all of our people, ahead of the interests of a powerful few. >> reporter: in her concession speech, toni preckwinkle vowed to work with the new mayor elect. >> the wox we've dork we've don values we fought for, that doesn't end tonight. >> reporter: lightfoot is inheriting a long list of challenges. chicago faces a $250 million budget deficit next year and billions of unfunded pensions with no clear plan of how to fix it. during her campaign, lightfoot made police reform a major focus following outrage over the deadly shooting of black teenager laquan mcdonald by a white police officer. >> we can and we will build trust between our people and our brave police officers so that

the communities and police trust each other, not fear each other. >> reporter: lightfoot will be the second female mayor in chicago history. she will also join seven other black women currently serving as mayors of major u.s. cities like atlanta and new orleans. lightfoot takes off may 20th. >> the papers say lightfoot in a land slide and proof the world is changing. it is changing there. a lot of organizations that say now young queer people, young black women can see they can hold major political office. you don't have to have spent your life in politics. >> and no experience. >> she was a former prosecutor but wasn't like someone who had spent her whole life in politics. >> never held an office. interesting races. the man accused of killing rapper nipsey hussle is in kuftd after a two-day manhunt. new video shows los angeles county sheriff's deputies arresting 29-year-old eric holder yesterday. he's expected to be charged with murder. girlfractressauren

london,d the first time since the shooting. she said, quote, i'm completely lost. i lost my best friend, my sanctuary, my protector. jam yim ueckous is outside the 77th division police station where holder spent the night. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. police received a tip at 1:15 p.m. yesterday afternoon by someone saying they spotted eric holder. when officers arrived, they arrested him 20 minutes from where the shooting occurred. him in handcuffs almost 48 hours after police say he shot and killed rapper nipsey hussle in broad daylight. >> mr. holer walked up on more than subsequent occasion and walked up with a handgun. >> reporter: he fired several shots killing nipsey and killing two others. police say nipsey and holder appeared to know each other.

>> it seemed to be a personal dispute. i'll leave it at that. >> reporter: holder's arrest brings some relief to the community. nipsey made a name for himself in los angeles not only for his music but for his efforts to curb violence in the city even as a former gang member. >> you kill a role model, a leader, somebody who was trying to save your life. >> nipsey hussle was a shining example of the best of what we can be and the best of what it meanwhiles to seek and carry out a redemptive charge. >> reporter: nipsey had been scheduled to meet with the police chief and the president of the city's when officers arrived, they after he was killed. in an email asking for the me etding he wrote he hoped he helped improve communication and relations and dialogue between the la p.d. and the inner city. >> nipsey hussle was an artist who touchedbail.

if he's convicted on that murder charge, he would face life in prison without bail. >> the absolute worst way to pay back nipsey lohss is with more violence. it's interesting someone in the community turned him in. republican lawmakers in virginia say democrats are blocking a public hearing into damaging allegations against the lieutenant governor. two women say he sexually assaulted him and they're asked him to testify in front of state legislators. he's categorically denied those allegations. jeff pegues is outside the c

capitol in richmond. it will be interesting to see if they take up this conversation. good morning to you. >> reporter: i'm sure they will. at least the republicans will. so far there's no agreement in place for this public hearing to happen even though the republicans if the state legislature have been pushingng for it for weeks. what they want is for the lieutenant governor and his accusers to testifify. this is a proroposal the republicans have been pushing, and it would work by the lieutenant governor and his accusers being invited to testify during a two-day heaearg in either june or august. they would present their evidence before a special bipartisan sub committee. they bleeb he s should resign burke they say the matter should be handled by law enforce millionaire. they call it, quote, politically motivated and an unprecedent spectacle. it is worth noting all the seats are up for grabs in the virginia

legislature and they want to make gains on the republican health majority and there is prash on lawmakers to act after the two women came forward with their allegations. they, of course, spoke with gayle king in interviews that aired this week. fairfax said both encounters with t having a press conference later on this morning, and, of course, we will be there. john. >> thanks, jeff. robocallers rang americans' cellphones 26 billion times last year. ahead, the new effort to crack down on good wednesday morning to you. a mainly dry day with mostly cloudy skies and a few showers possible. but today will be the dryer day out of our week. 63 in san francisco. 65 oakland. and fremont 68 and

to use the pool, but she didn't have a swimsuit and instead two chinese passports and a thumb drive loaded with malware. >> they argue any plan they come up with now is sure to die in the house. so the president backed down. >> it mark another milestone, she'll be the first openly gay mayor in the history of chicago. >> police received a tip from someone saying they have spotted eric holder. when officers arrived, they arrested him. >> in a recent experiment, scientists in switzerland played different types of music around aging cheese to see if it affects the taste and the best tasting cheese was the one exposed to hip-hop. it worked so well, they since have come out with their own line of new hip-hop cheeses. including feta nick

nicknicki fro nicki fromage. two more women have come forward to say the actions of former vice president joe biden has made them uneasy. the claims by four women in all have triggered a new conversation about what is not acceptable in the me too era. >> i think that it is important for the vice president, and others, to understand this, it isn't what you intended, it is how it was received. >> that's not okay. so if vice president biden does choose to run for president of the united states, i imagine this is a conversation he'll be having to have with the american people. >> any sort of harassment is strictly wrong. >> do you think this qualifies as harassment? >> i'll let the voters make that choice. >> i think it goes to show that the times are changing, and people's expectations of behavior are also changing and i

say that is to the good. joe biden is not a sexual predator. >> this is no country for creepy old men. and it needs to stop. >> what is it with america's vice presidents? none of them -- one guy is smelling women's hair. the other one refuses to be near a woman without a chaperone? isn't there a middle talks clos that's what he likes. i think it would be unfortunate if we got rid of everyone who is an affectionate person. >> biden said, never once have i believed i acted inappropriate ly. >> jodi, good morning. we should point out harvey weinstein is facing charges accused of rape and other dastardly crimes. has the reckoning gone too far? >> you know, the tape that was just played was great, because it showed how outsized this

conversation has become abouto bid joe biden. this is around three unresolved issues. what are the day to day rules for physical engagement. number two, when somebody makes a misstep, how do you address it? what is the form of accountability? what is the sort of form of correction? probably the most interesting word to me that has come out of the biden conversation is the word disqualifying. people suggested this is actually disqualifying for the presiden presidency. i think that's a controversial idea. three, who should the democratic nominee be for 2020? also a very unsettled issue. so all three of those questions i think are kind of converging in this debate. >> do these allegations, though, minimize the more serious cases of assault and abuse? >> well, we just have to draw a distinction. a lot of these moment occurred in public, at events, occurred in front of other people, it is

a totally different scenario than somebody like harvey weinstein who isus drawing women into secluded places so he could take advantage of them. >> you have seen where these conversations take place where they're done well and handled intelligently and where they are not. is there a worse venue in which to have these kind of sensitive conversations than a presidential campaign? >> the politics is the hardest venue, most important venue because these jobs are the definition of power. but the hardest. clinton, clarence thomas, brett kavanaugh, donald trump, every time we have debates over whether -- over these men's conduct, they're very important, but they also get mixed with everybody's political preferences and ideas about who they want and not want, who they do and don't want to have power. >> is this a conversation about -- about age? because there were standards from a different generation that are now under investigation, joe biden will be one of the older candidates running.

is this a stalking horse and perhaps a conference about age. >> i think you see people saying that openly. some critics of biden's behavior on this count have essentially said this is a sign that you are a dinosaur, you already have served your time in office, i want to see somebody nominated who represents a fresher -- >> does it matter that joe biden has been in public life for -- does it matter that dozens of women who worked with him in the obama administration, for years, in close settings say he never touched me or made me feel uncomfortable, none of this was sexual in any nature? >> even today speaking about it. >> i say his record on true policy issues towards women matters a great deal. and it is not getting enough attention. pro and con. people talk ri to the criminaljustices you'g critic his conduct in thepros as be ded. uncomfortable and makes

teeth hurt. have we gotten to the point that we can't have any physical contact with someone that we're trying to be friendly with, that we're trying to be sympathetic with, that we're empathizing with, the fact that someone kisses you on the back of your head or rubs you on the back, shouldn't intention and motivation matter and to your point, it was all done publicly? >> well, we are living through a period of social change on these issues which can feel confusing -- >> very confusing. >> gloria steinem had some advice in today's paper, she said the new rule is, if you want to hug somebody, somebody you don't know, just ask first. >> i knew a man who was appointed as a ceo to a major bank today and said i'm not going to have lunch with women anymore. that is the honest conversation happening about a backlash where men say i'm not going to do it because i'm being accused of stuff -- i'm not going to go to

lunch with them anymore. is that helpful? >> no. no. >> i mean -- i'm being honest about that. that's an honest conversation. have you heard that? >> i read a lot of articles -- >> that doesn't mean that man is right. but that is -- that is true and that is happening. >> i think what we don't have a sense of is how widespread that fear really is. and whether it is really hurting women. you hear it a lot. you don't hear it on the record. >> we're not talking -- i feel that fear is widespread among men. >> is it having consequences in the workplace, is it a worry or an action? that's hard to know. >> something you wouldn't do in front of your wife in front of your daughter, your sister, you wouldn't have done to them, i think is a pretty good barome r barometer. >> joe biden is being accused of doing it in front of hundreds of people with cameras. >> i know. >> we should remember politics is just weird. people kiss babies they don't know. it is politics. it is a very weird venue.

referee, you've got a really big problem. michael lewis, let me sabraw voe and congrats. this podcast was so interesting and well done. >> you're always at the mercy of your material and the material is unbelievable. human referees are on the run all the time unless he's bought by someone. >> refereeing is 100% negative business as you point out. they get a lot of "ref, you suck, ref, you suck, ref, you suck." the reality is it's gotten better. the coaches and the fans think it's gotten worse and the nba is spending a lot of money to get this right. >> professional basketball is a nice little microcosm to start. in the last five years adam silver has engaged in this pretty intense effort to reform refereeing t

refereeing, to make it better. they've built a $15 million replay center across the river. >> how many screens? >> 110 screens. all of those screens are connected by direct fiberoptic cable to the arenas to give you different angles on the court and you see nothing but the angle on the court. the whole point is to give the ref refs the point. they're having to study their mistakes. they're made aware of the various biases that their minds are prone to. you can measure the accuracy of calls that have gotten better, and yet people are angrier and angrier. >> don't we have to be better and assume they're not right 100% of the time? >> you've got this conundrum. you've got referees getting better. at the same time people them more.

what's going on? this is the problem. they're operating in a different environment. every mistake is now scrutinize and there's a mechanism for generating outrage about the mistakes with social media. all the forces that are there to attack them are amplified and the forces to defend themselves are not picking up. >> that's kind of the larger story. what's happening to them tells you a lot about what's happening to us. >> yes. >> the arbiters of a game, the ar tors of life, the judicial system, all of it. >> if you look at what's happening with american political life, the campaigns in the last political election surprised people, bernie sanders and donald trump. the source of their energy was about anger of unfairness. everything is rigged. this is happening at the same time you have the people whose job it is to ensure that things

aren't rigged or under new kinds of attack. it's a very interesting situation. the point of the podcast is to sort of figure out what are these forces at work that are undermining the ref. in basketball you can see one of the forces. when you have these refs become much more on jek turf and accurate, who gets angry? the stars get angry because you're eliminating calls. a genuinely neutral one is -- >> you saw racial bias. >> they did this seven or eight years ago. to me the interesting thing about the paper is what happened after. he went back and changed it. they eliminated it. this is a story how they'd

gotten better. you never hear anybody praise the refs, right? >> both sides. >> they think the ref's screwed them. these pressures on the people whose job sit is to ensure fairness are on attack against fairness. >> it's so interesting. >>" against the rules" is availbling wherever you get
