7:07 am
senior national correspondent work toub se townsend worked with nielsen. good morning. >> good morning. >> how much was nielsen's issue and how much of it is the fact that the president is in a system of separated powers where congress has to do the work he wants done? >> well, you make the point, john. i think she was doing what she thought was the limit of what she could do, and she's repeatedly said and it's true, congress does need to act. if they don't like the policy of the administration, some of this can be wanted if they would simply update the law, allowing children to be returned to their country of origin just like we do with mexico and canada, for example, and sort of not have the problem of family separations. >> fran, let me ask you. as john was saying, the president called nielsen and said, essentially, shut down the
7:08 am
border. shut it down to all migrants, shut it down to people sneaking asylum. the secretary repeatedly told the president, some of that stu stuff is illegal. will anything change with this firing? >> certainly, we won't expect any secretary to be breaking the law and if the president doesn't like the law, the administration is going to have to work with congress to change some of it. but there has been a surge. i was down at the border not ten days ago and the system is overwhelmed. and so something's got to give. i think the president is understandably frustrated with the increasing numbers, but firing nielsen isn't going to change that. they were prosecuting every person who illegally crossed the border and the system got overwhelmed, which is why they pulled back from that. but that, there's no solution to this. once they pulled back from the prosecutions, the message to illegal mai grants is come on
7:09 am
in. because you're not going to get prosecuted until the law changes. >> any idea how she was feeling? she was with the president on friday. sunday, out of a job. do you think or does she feel she got a fair shake here? >> gayle, i think she's done her level best. i think she's worked tirelessly to, you know, sort of implement the president's agenda. but it's been a tough road. she had a difficult 16 months. she's defended policies that she at times, i think, was questioning and so, look, she served well. i think it's a relief for her to be able to get out and move on. >> just a reminder too, thank you, fran, that the secretary of homeland security deals with more than just the border. cyber threats, so many other things. that's going to be important and come up at any confirmation hearing. always good to have you. an american woman kidnapped at a popular african safari destination started her journey home after ransom paid to free her. video first on "cbs this

♪ illinois is the latest state to raise the legal age to buy tobacco and vaping products. yesterday the illinois governor signed a bill increasing the limit from 18 to 21. while statistics show that tobacco continues to lose its appeal for young people, vaping is skyrocketing among middle and high school students. well, last week the fda began looking into whether e-cigarette use can lead to seizures. dr. tara narula is here for the push to the 21 age limit nationwide. >> good morning. when e-cigarettes were first introduced in the market, they were seen by many as a way for long-time smokers to wean themselves off cigarettes.

7:43 am
18-year-olds might be using the products. >> why do you think it's been so hard to get this kind of legislation passed in the rest of the country? >> i think there's just the same arguments about, well, if you're old enough to die for your country, why can't you buy a cigarette or smoke or vape or whatever have you. >> reporter: but that is beginning to change. nine states have passed legislation to raise the legal age for tobacco and vaping products to 21. hundreds more cities, counties, and towns have as well. and on thursday, congressman of alabama introduced a bill that would make 21 the legal age nationwide. >> the younger you are when you start using a substance, the more vulnerable you are to becoming addicted. and that's because as the brain develops, it just becomes a little bit more resistant to the neurologic changes that are associated with addiction. >> reporter: matt murphy kicked his habit nine months ago and has become an anti-tinicotine advocate himself. his biggest message to teens thinking of vaping -- >> it's way easier to prevent

homeland security. >> health officials tell us nielsen's departure is part of a massive restructuring of senior homeland security management. >> in terms of immigration, will anything change with this firing? >> the system is overwhelmed and the president is understandably frustrated with the increasing numbers but firing nielsen isn't going to change that. >> big time storm coming into the west coast will come over the mountains, rain and snow, big time travel disruptions. >> a slugfest between the feisty underdog and texas tech against what many could be a team of destiny in virginia. >> nominated for entertainer of the year nine times, but as host reba mcentire pointed out for the second year in a row, no women were nominated in the show's top category. >> this is my 16th time of hosting the show. people always ask me, do you ever get tired of doing it? and i said, tired of celebrating great artists in music? tired of amazing live performances? tired of being in charge of the biggest night in country?
8:02 am
heck no! my name is reba mcentire and i haven't been tired in 53 years! >> this morning's eye opener at 8:00 is sponsored by blue buffalo. well, she said it. >> she's my type of girl. >> that's right. >> don't mess with reba. >> remember when she was here to make the announcement of the nominations and she was -- >> i've been a fan of reba mcentire's for a long time. she's sweet, she's kind, she's tough, she's faithful. love everything about her. >> nice when you meet somebody in person that you admired and they turn out to be what you think they are. >> or better. >> or better, yeah. sometimes it goes the other way and it is very disappointing. no names shall be said. >> should we make a list? >> no, no. >> she's wonderful. i'm john dickerson with gayle king and norah o'donnell. a new shake-up inside the trump administration.
8:03 am
homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen will leave on wednesday in the middle of what the white house calls a crisis at the southern border. cbs news was first to report the resignation yesterday. she wrote in a letter she hopes her replacement will, quote, have the support of congress and the courts in fixing the laws, which have impeded our ability to fully secure america's borders. the latest numbers from customs and border protection show more than 76,000 migrants were apprehended or refused entry in february. that's an average of nearly 2 people a minute. it is the highest in 12 years, but that still is less than the all time peak recorded in the early 2000s. >> nielsen toured the california/mexico border with the president on friday after his choice to be the head had a nomination withdrawn. mr. trump told paula reid he wanted to go in a tougher direction. when cbs news followed up later that day, the president with nielsen standing by his side said this. >> we want to have everything just perfected.
8:04 am
we'll see what happens. but we may be going in a different -- you'll be seeing very soon. we may be going in a different direction. >> never a good sign when you're standing there. nielsen is the 12th person to leave the cabinet level position since president trump took office. customs and border protection commissioner kevin mcaleenan will serve as acting dhs chief but is not expected to be nominated as a permanent replacement in that job. >> whoever is nominate to be the next homeland security secretary will have to be approved by the senate. it is hard to get anything done on capitol hill these days, as shown in the new book "the hill to die on." politico reporter jake sherman and anna palmer wrote the book together. they have each covered capitol hill for nearly a decade and this book is the result of 26 months of reporting. they interviewed senators, house members, white house aides and president trump. good morning. >> good morning. >> not only is it full of information, it is a juicy read. >> yeah. >> but first, let's talk about the news.
8:05 am
secretary nielsen resigning. who will be her replacement and how hard will it be to get that person confirmed? >> very difficult to get the person confirmed. i think that we know for a fact. people have mentioned rick perry, but donald trump seems to like acting secretaries at the moment. he believes that they have -- he has more control over them and they don't get too comfortable in the job, which is something as you noted we have seen a dozen cabinet secretaries leave. something he likes. >> and they don't have to get confirmed. >> right. >> which is the key. >> he also seems to like chaos as you point out in your book. he likes to stir things up and keep everybody off balance. >> yeah. absolutely. i think you saw him tweeting last night about this, he's hard on the border. he likes to kind of almost like he's in a hollywood producer, he's changing the cast midstream when he doesn't think something is working out for them. >> this is what you say about congress, it is unlike any other institution on earth, remarkable place of democracy, but one of the pettiest collections of adults and teenage melodrama. for instance -- >> there are countless --
8:06 am
>> where do you again, yes? >> you can look from the top. paul ryan, former speaker paul ryan who left at the end of the congressional term had a lot of problems with donald trump and got on his side. think about it this way, congress is 535 former high school class presidents and i think that's only been aggravated or accentuated in donald trump's washington where you have an unpredictable chief executive who calls people at all hours of the night, ringing up members asking for advice and it is a picture of chaos. >> let me ask you about that. president trump which he ran for president said i'm a dealmaker, i have a special quality, never before seen in washington to get people to come to the table and i knock their heads together or cajole them but i'll get things done. in practice, he's made a lot of phone calls, has chummy moments, but does he have the talent, has he applied the skill to actually get anything done in the hard business of actually getting things done? >> i think he doesn't deserve a very good grade. if you look at the first two years which this book really
8:07 am
details from election day 2016 through the midterms, through the shutdown, he really only had had one bright spot, tax reform. and even tax reform which we detailed was a partisan issue, did not do it with any democrats, so, yes, the president likes to say he's a dealmaker, but truly he has not brought democrats to the table to do anything substantive. >> i'm fascinated with the relationship -- >> we were given really amazing access because president trump as we all know proclaims to not like the media, but members of congress are very, very eager to talk to the press. we had members of congress allow us in meetings, we traveled with them around the country, we listened to their phone call, we have recordings of meeting, emails, memos. we were able to bring our readers inside of the process in d.c. >> a couple of times when i was reading the book i said do people know you were there? apparently they did because it was to norah's word, juicy. i'm fascinated by nancy pelosi and donald trump. he seems to be fascinated with her too. you said that pelosi is trump's polar opposite.
8:08 am
what way, what do you mean? >> if you look at -- if donald trump loves chaos, nancy pelosi loves order. one thing that is have interesting is the reverence and respect the president gives nancy pelosi is unlike any other member or figure when we talk to him and sat down with him, you describe his relationship with members of congress. clearly pelosi is a steady hand in washington. she is the person who has the most power and control and is going to be the adult in the room. >> her nickname is nancy, that says something. >> also on top of that, she doesn't back down from the president. she stares him in the eye, and says this is where i'm going, this is what i want to do and the president then is forced to back down as we saw with the government shutdown, president trump didn't get his border wall and nancy pelosi won. >> you also detail sean hannity being on a number of calls, do those on the other end of the call know he's also on the call? >> periodically. >> there are moments he weighs in, which we detail. but i think what is surprising to both of us how involved sean
8:09 am
hannity was, not just tweeting and having conversations with the president, but how involved he was on a more regular basis. >> we saw people leaving meetings on capitol hill picking up their cell phone and sean hannity calling, we saw this firsthand. >> what does this say to you all? what does that mean? >> it is unlike anything we have ever seen in our times covering washington for a tv talk host to have such sway over the president of the united states is unusual. >>

this this morning, we kick off a week of coverage in our school matters series. we'll focus on the mental and physical health issues facing schools, from nurse shortages to the pressures of sports, and see how school staff are being trained to tackle the opioid crisis. today, we'll see how an elementary school in rural colorado is tackling bullying before it reaches the playground. the initiative is supported by a three-year state grant. bar barry petersen explains why you might be surprised to learn where the grant money comes from. >> when colorado became the first state to allow sales of recreational marijuana in 2014, it meant millions of dollars collected from sales taxes. and a lot of that money is ear mash e marked for education, how a small colorado town of around 7,000 people got the money to start a program that stops bullying in its tracks. >> good morning, park view hawks. >> school day at park view elementary includes the usual

classes like reading and math. >> not allowed to play. >> reporter: and the unusual classes on bullying. leslie tree role plays with her third grate egraders. >> they're saying they can't play. they're not allowed to play. we call that exclusion. okay? >> reporter: she plays the bully to tinley. >> we told you we weren't playing with you today. >> reporter: and andres knows how to step in. >> you can play with me. >> i was trying to invite her to play with me. >> reporter: why? >> because she would have been sad and i always like making people happy. >> by being instructed of the exact words, they have the ability to step up and make a difference. >> reporter: in this rural colorado school district, these classes are taught from kindergarten through high school. aaron jones is the principal. >> i think it means the world. if kids don't feel safe, they're not going to learn, they're not
8:18 am
going to achieve. >> reporter: it is different in a small town. it is not just about what happens in a classroom or here at recess, these kids will see each other all the time, all over the place. >> see each other at the store, at church, rec league sports, after school programs. >> reporter: but the more than $100,000 a year anti-bullying program is funded by the state, from pot sales taxes. despite the fact that they, as permitted under a colorado law, do in the allow marijuana shops. >> i never thought i would see the day where marijuana money would fund programs in education. >> reporter: did anybody come up to you and say, no, no, don't take that money? >> no one shared any concern about that fact. professionally this grant has shown me that marijuana dollars can be directly used for students' success. in this case, bullying prevention. >> reporter: it has cut bullying incidents by 23% and taught kids

8:20 am
friends that came with me too. >> reporter: now, because the other students knew how to help, parker's bad days are over. how do you feel now that they -- your friends have stayed with you? >> now i feel look i fit in, now i have a lot of friends who will stick up for me if i ever got bullied again. >> reporter: i went to junior and senior high school in montana town even smaller than lamar. so i well understand how people talk and word spreads that someone is having trouble in school. oddly enough, the person being picked on can feel embarrassed like they did something wrong which makes a program like this a life changer for vulnerable kids who now won't be victims of bullying. >> i love that story. it is making it show that it is so much cooler to act the other way. and what a good message to send to children. listen, some adults could use this class too, i are to say. >> i think giving the kids the words is so -- they know what to say. and they're kids, you know, they're not born with this

musgraves has certainly made her own lane. ♪ born in a hurry, always late ♪ haven't been early since '88 >> the singer/songwriter says her love of music began when she was just a little girl. >> i grew up wanting to be a singer. i grew up singing, singing, singing. >> did you sing into a hair brush. >> a hair brush, karaoke mic, whatever. broomstick. yeah, just singing all the time. then it's interesting, i felt like a shift when i moved to nashville when i was about 19. i figured out you could have an actual career as a songwriter and not put your face out there. i was kind of turned off by the whole artist side of thing. and then somewhere along the way i started collecting these songs that felt like i wouldn't want to give them up. >> musgraves released her debut album back in 2013. she insisted "merry-go-round" be
8:35 am
the first single. it was an edgy choice a record executive told her would not work for radio. >> i wouldn't be proud of changing myself to try to appease to a wider range of people. >> what did he say to you? >> he said, well, sometimes in this business, you have to do things that you're not proud of. i said that's where you and i, sir, are very different. >> you would really prefer not to have the career you have than to have a hit song and not be proud of it? >> i can't imagine something more excruciating than that. it's not worth it. it's just not worth it to me. >> staying true to herself has paid off big. >> "golden hour" kasey musgraves. >> she attributes success to her song writing roots. >> to me it's all about the songs. >> it's all about the songs. tell me a about that, why that's so important to you. >> there's a little thing, a little light bulb that says, oh,
8:36 am
this is something, this is an idea, this could be in a song. it kind of presents itself. i could be in the middle of an argument and i would be like, oh, that's a good line. i guess the whole process of taking something from nothing, that process is something that is magical. >> do you have an example of where you heard something and you said a-ha, that's a song, like happ"happy and sad?" i love that ♪ is there a word for the way i'm feeling tonight ♪ >> happy and sad are two emotions i find myself feeling a lot of the time together. i think it can be the anxiety of knowing that the moment is eventually going to end. what goes up comes down. i remember being in a tiki bar with my now husband. we were so in love and he was saying these things to me that were bringing tears to my eyes. he was confused because i was crying. i was happy but i was sad at the
8:37 am
same time. >> we would owl liall like to m somebody that says something that says something that brings tears to our eyes and we're happy. >> musgraves and rusty kelly tide the knot in 2017. it helped inspired "golden hour. >> how did you know he was the one for you? >> i just knew. it was like, there it is. leading up to making "golden hour," i was in a depressive sf space. i wasn't sure what i wanted to do creatively. i feel like i always feel a little depressed when i feel lost creatively. i took about a year to where i could just be in town and catch up on the simple parts of life that i had missed being on tour. i'm needing to live life and that will feed new songs. that's about the time i met
8:38 am
rustin. >> people thought, okay, now she's in love and she's happy. will the music be as good. >> right. >> were you worried about that? >> i was worried. i'm happy now. you trick yourself into thinking as a creative person that you need to suffer in order to produce great art, and i think that's a terrible mistake. i've kept myself in bad relatinships before thinking good songs would come out of it, so whatever. what a waste of time. i did get some good songs out of it though. it came as a surprise to me when this kind of whole new facet of art and writing kind of opened up for me after being the happiest that i have ever been. >> do you struggle with fame? do you worry about fame? >> it's not my favorite thing. i think it used to freak me out a lot when i was younger. i was really intimidated by it. as i've gotten older, i realize
8:39 am
there's not really anything to be scared of. i have a wonderful foundation with my family underneath me, my husband. i know who i am. >> do you feel like this is your moment? >> i could say it's my moment professionally, but personally i feel like it's best yet with leaving my 20s, going into my 30s, finding a new kind of sense of self and confidence that comes from being with the right person and the songs that came from that. i think for me it all boils down to my songs. i feel like nothing else would matter, none of this would matter. there's so much fluff in the industry. none of it would matter if the songs weren't there for me. >> the songs are very much there. at 19, she said she had no backup plan when she moved to nashville. she said at that age you're fearless and feel like you can do it. >> claire on team john pointed
8:40 am
out she has the try fek tar, she won the acm, the grammy and the country music awards this year. that hasn't been done since taylor swift did it. thank you, claire. >> thank god for claire. thousands of people go to nashville thinking that same thing. to rise out of that group is what's really amazing. >> and she's a nice person, too, guys, in addition to having all that talent. she's just a sweet, lovely person who wants to do good in the world and be good. i like her very, very much. >> well done. >> all right. the legendary fashion designer diane von furstenberg created the iconic wrap dress. she's here to talk about

8:45 am
influence and resources to transform the lives of other women. diane joins us at the table. who are you wearing today? >> i'm wearing dvf, too. ten years and going strong. congratulations to you on ten. i read you said when you first did it ten years ago you were reluctant to put your name on it because you didn't think it has the prestige or gravitas to put your name on it. >> my son said you do so much for women and we should use our foundation to do an award so we can give money and you can give exposure. it's very intimidating to just out of the blue say, okay, i'm creating an award with my name. so i took advantage of the beginning of the women in the world conference that i was invited to start with tina. so i said, okay, we'll do that on the second night.
8:46 am
>> with tina brown. >> let's talk about the lifetime achievement award, this year going to anita hill. why anita? >> why anita? anita is such a role model. her courage, her courage, how she could look at those men in the eyes and just mention the word penis and not -- she is remarkable. >> and not stutter, presented by gloria steinem. >> they're both very happy about doing that together. it's an honor to have those two women at the same time. they really are a role model. because the mission of the award is to honor extraordinary women who have the strength to fight, the courage to survive and the leadership to inspire. >> as somebody who had to fight through that herself to be successful, how has -- in the ten years since the award has
8:47 am
been around, how do you think it's changed for women in america? >> we go on a pendulum. i am part of a generation that i'm a feminist. i grew up with gloria steinem. i'm a feminist with as many men as possible. my daughter's generation, they kind of took it for granted. but now that i see my granddaughters, they're bad asses. they're not going to take anything. i think this is a good time, but i think we cannot let it go by. we have to seize it because the 21st century is the century for women if we want to save the world. >> you talk about your granddaughters, and i think we should talk about the me too movement for a section because i think it's been very good and very helpful. do you think there needs to be room for redemption and reconciliation for these men? >> that's -- my husband says
8:48 am
that. he says we should have one big reconciliation where all men say we admit and then start over, which is a totally fine idea. it's just like, of course there's always collateral damage. of course there are people who exaggerate. the truth is that we can no longer be treated like meat. and men sometimes think -- they think it's a compliment that they behave like that. so i am all me too. >> there are so many truths you speak, diane, the most important relationship you have is with yourself first, what you're known for. you also said you think of aging as an acquisition, not a loss. how do you suggest women embrace getting older? >> first of all, i'm 72 and proud to say it. >> born on new year's eve. i love that. >> i live so fully, i should be
8:49 am
twice my age. the point is that age means that you exist. it means you've lived it. so to hide your age means that you're hiding part of who you are. yes, you don't have the same assets you have at 20, but you have a lot more assets of other things. >> we've got to go. >> experience and wisdom. age is power. >> you should mention katy perry, honoring her as well as others. >> did we mention it's the 10th anniversary. you're doing something right. we'll be right back. anniversary. you're doing something right. we'll be right back.
