who is really listening? amazon says it records some stow n protinith a look at today's eye-opener. your world in 90 seconds. this is insane. >> very frustrating storm system. it continues to spin. >> very icy. slow down. >> a monster spring storm turns deadly. >> minnesota governor declare as state of emergency. >> i think julian assange has to face justice here. >> lawmakers reacting to the ar o julian assange. >> i know nothing about wikileaks, it's not my thing. >> michael avenatti is facing 36 new charges, including embezzlement, fraud and tax evasion. >> the mha no limits. in los angeles, thousands turned out to mourn the loss of nipsey hussle. >> stand up for what you believe in.yo money where your

mouth is. chicago is suing actor jussie smollett to recoup the cost of investigating the attack that police say he staged. all that and a spectaculk t launch for spacex. sister mary joe back on the mound. >> according to bloomberg, thousands of amazon workers are listening in on customers through alexa. >> i am outraged at this listening device i intentionally installed in my home to listen to me is listening to me. assange had outlived his welcome there in the embassy. he was skateboarding in the halls and his cat had been making a mess. >> the most disturbing thing about the story is he dressed the poor thing up in a tie and collar. and i'm talking an entire wardrobe, right? yes. i think if you've ever owned cats, you know that cats don't enjoy that, right? he's nawning in this photo,

he's screaming high pressure help me! >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. i think it's fun to dress your pets up. i don't know how they feel about it, but i think it's fun. >> i'm usual lly in those littl boxes. >> as you can see, we've got a new look at the table. john dickerson and norah are off today. tony decouple and major garrett are here in studio 57. if you say something that we don't like, tony the stage manager comes and body-slams you at the table. >> i'm ready. best friday ever hanging out with gayle king and tony decouple. we're going to begin with this, the justice department may have to fight for months or years to bring julian assange to the united states. british police dragged the wikileaks founder and dragged is

the word out of his sanctuary yesterday after the ecuadorian government withdrew his diplomatic asylum. >> assange face as charge of conspiring with chelsea manning to hack pentagon computers in 2010. we're outside the ecuadorian embassy with more. >> it's been 24 hours since julian assange, who since 2012 never once set foot outside that building now finds himself in a london prison. the big question now is whether or how he'll be extradited to the u.s. but as ever, the wikileaks founder remains defiant. so, too, are his supporters. dozens of assange allies took to the streets to protest his arrest in his native australia. a reminder that he is seen by some as a journalist who campaigns for the truth. but that's not how others see him. secretary of state mike pompeo

calls assange a narcissist. and describes wikileaks as a hostile nonstate intelligence service. with ties to russia. former presidential nominee, hillary clinton, who had her emails published by wikileaks, had this to say. >> someone is he has to answer for what he has done, has been charged. >> after his first court appearance, assange faces up to 12 months in jail for a bail offense. it's up to british court to decide whether he'll be extradited to the u.s. >> you people like the secretary of state saying that he's basically an intelligence asset. and others saying that he's a journalist exposing intelligence abuses. the court might have to reconcile that before it makes a decision on extradition. >> the justice department alleges assange helped coordinate one of the largest-ever leaks of u.s. government secrets in history. and that he conspired with former intelligence analyst,

chelsea manning, to download the classified databases. assange's lawyers said they would fight the request to have him tried in the u.s. >> this precedent means that any journalist can be extra dieted for prosecution in the united states for having published truthful information about the united states. >> now u.s. official has confirmed to cbs news, that more charges are likely to be filed against assange. the ecuadorian authorities are defending their decision to withdraw their diplomatic support for the wikileaks founder, citing a number of issues, including his deteriorating health, questions that he may have been involved in their internal affairs, as well as other issues. gayle? >> shocking to see him removed that way. thank you very much, imtiaz tyab reporting from london. the white house confirms that it considered an idea to release detained migrants to sanctuary cities tied to president trump's opponents. the "washington post" reviewed

emails and spoke to officials who say the white house made two proposals to bring migrants to places where local authorities have refused to hand over illegal immigrants for deportation. the idea came up in november, was revived in february as a way to retaliate against the administration's opponents. the white house tells cbs news that it was just a suggestion they say. it was floated and then rejected by immigration officials, and that it is no longer under consideration. major, such a good day for you to be at the table. when we heard this report, it's so stunning to hear what if anything does it say to you about how the white house operates? >> that lots of ideas are floated. that political retribution is something this president and the people around him do consider. and sometimes they go to the agencies and say it's possible. and the agencies come back and say no, it's not. that's not possible. there are costs involved. there are pr problems, legal restrictions, all of which the relevant agency told the white house, you can't do this. once that answer was given, then

the white house reconsidered it, in the intense aura and atmosphere around the prolonged government shutdown. using as a point possibly of leverage against congressional democrats who had just taken control of power so even when it was rejected, the white house resuggested it ran it up the flag a second time. that's indicative of the president always wanting to push different envelopes in different ways. >> i would love to know where these things come from. who floats them and who rejects them. >> oftentimes the president does and those closest to him and the process has to reach a conclusion. >> retribution in the white house is a little white house is frightening to some. a vicious spring snowstorm is winding down, leaving a terrible toll in the northern plains and upper midwest. one person was killed in colorado when a car slammed into a snowplow and the blizzard buried some areas under two feet of snow. the state of minnesota is in a state of emergency situation, and the snowstorm is now

weakening, that is good news, but there are new fears that it could cause potentially disastrous flooding. adriana diaz is in hard-hit watertown south dakota. good morning. >> good morning, people in watertown are going to have to dig out of this today. with all this snow drifts, people are going to have trouble figuring out which cars are theirs. the wind has died down, but the snow continues to fall. many major roads remain closed and thousands are still without power across the region. cars and big rigs were no match for white-out snow and powerful wind gusts topping 60 miles per hour. neither was this minnesota state trooper as he tried to direct traffic around a jackknifed semi trailer. the wintry blast shook power lines, freezing some and toppling others. at some point nearly 77hoan bus without power. >> we usually don't get this in april. >> here in watertown, we met ron

as he tries perhaps in vain, to clear snow from his yard. >> it's almost not working to try clear the snow. >> no, it isn't. i'll get out for a while today and come home and spend the rest of the day at home. >> not everyone had that option with several interstates shut down, more than 100 truck drivers were stranded at this rest top. >> you're taking in your truck? >> yes, i am. >> and the blizzard impacting far more than traffic. >> we're usually farming out in the field and down here they're farming, too, but it's going to be now with all the extra snow, it's going to be a month yet. >> farmers here in cattle country are scrambling to keep their livestock alive. >> when you get 10, 12 inches or more on the ground, it's tough to, tough to work and make sure they're all right. >> we spoke to farmers who said they had to stay up all night in shifts checking on their cattle. especially the baby calves that are born this time of year. there are concerns about flooding once the snow melts,

there was severe flooding in other parts of the region last month. which wiped out entire farms. >> adriana, thank you. the city of chicago is suing "empire" actor jussie smollett after he refused to reimburse police for the cost of an investigation into an alleged hate crime. police say he staged. chicago is seeking more than three times the amount of damages previously requested. dean reynolds is in chicago with how the potential costs for smollett could go even higher. dean, good morning. >> good morning. this civil lawsuit was filed just 16 days after the state's attorney here dropped all criminal charges against the actor. despite initially saying that the case against him was quite strong. that decision outraged the mayor and the police and it left a lot of people here wondering why. according to the lawsuit filed by the city late thursday, more than two dozen police officers and detectives were involved in

the two-week investigation. they racked up more than 130,000 of overtime pay. city code allows chicago to collect up to three times the amount of damages sustained, which could be as much as $390,000. evidence sealed in the criminal case could be unsealed if this civil case goes to trial. smollett might have to testify as a witness where he presumably would have to talk about the evidence that the police say proves he lied. now, smollett has said he is innocent. and his attorneys say it's the city of chicago that owes him an apology. but if the city wins this lawsuit, and smollett continues to refuse to pay up, his bank >> yeah,ry overthyovery muc an.

he stole his ients.inos ges unveiled 36 charges against avenatti yesterday. the attorney who represented adult film actress stormy daniels when she sued president trump, is now accused of financial crimes. they include allegedly concealing all of a $4 million settlement owed to a paraplegic. avenatti is charged separately in new york in an alleged scheme to extort up to $25 million from nike. he said he intends to plead not guilty and will fight the charges. >> when you're a lawyer you would make a good living, i wouldn't think he would have to do these alleged misdeeds. >> it's a surprise to a lot of people and not a surprise to others, we'll see how this turns out. results overnight show students at georgetown university support paying reparations to help atone for the school's past. graduates voted overwhelmingly in favor of a $27 per semester fee to benefit the descendants of 272 slaves who were sold by s18s.

the measure, which still needs the school's approval could set an important precedent for other schools. chip reid spoke to students on both sides of the debate and is at georgetown's campus in washington. both sides, it sounds like a lot of them are standing on one side in particular. good morning. >> absolutely, they are. people here at georgetown are waking up to the fact that a solid majority of students are willing to pay for the school's past sins. i talked to some students here early this morning, and they say they believe it's a moral obligation. >> we need to affect change in the university. we've all benefitted from the sales of these slaves previously and i think we have a duty now to show our responsibility in the fact that we did benefit from it. >> georgetown's endowment is over $1.5 billion but in 1838, the school, deep in debt, sold 272 slaves to stay open. in 2016, the university's president apologized. >> we will seek forgiveness for our participation in the

institution of slavery. >> and institution that left this institution divided. now students here have voted to pay an additional $27.20 each semester that would benefit the descendants of those 272 slaves. >> georgetown students need to recognize how much other people have sacrificed. in order for them to be where they are. >> but opponents like freshman henry dye argue the effort to unchain georgetown's past takes liberty from today's students. >> you say it's a slap in the face at liberty. >> yes. >> what do you mean by that? >> i don't believe we should morally impose our values on other students. >> and the conversation isn't only taking place at georgetown. >> i believe it's time to start the national full-blown conversation about reparations. in it country. >> some 2020 democratic presidential candidates have come out in support of reparations. a recent survey found that the majority of democrats support

studying ways to compensate black americans for the impact of slavery. georgetown offered preferential admission to their descendants like this new orleans chef who came here as a freshman at age 63. >> georgetown students are setting a precedent here by doing something that's never been done before. >> in a statement, the university says it appreciates the students have made their voices heard, but the university has not said that they will implement the fee. it's not clear when or if that will happen. rapper nipsey hussle will be laid to rest today in a private ceremony in los angeles. tens of thousands of fans turned out for a celebration of hussle's life and legacy yesterday. the funeral procession traveled 25 miles through the streets of los angeles. crowds surrounded the hearse as it drove past the clothing store where he was killed two weeks ago. mola lenghi is outside the store where people are leaving flowers

adjacent to this memorial nipsey hussle square in honor of the slain rapper. >> it was a moving ceremony. i watched a lot of it yesterday. his mother spoke, his father spoke. a little from barack obama goes on to say, he saw a community even through the flaws that taught him to keep going. his legacy is worthy of celebration. he meant a lot to that community. making a difference. died way too soon. mola, thank you again. boeing has made 100 flights testing software updates for its troubled 737 max jet. ahead what southwest airlines is now doing to its fleet of max planes that will cer if you're getting tired of the wind, hang in there. we have one more day. if you can read the top headline, it says still breezy. 40 mile an hour gusts and tomorrow, more like 25. the weekend looks great. sunny in the 70s and a chance for light rain late monday into tuesday

house speaker nancy pelosi's opening up about her first three months at the top of the democratic-led house of representatives. on sunday, "60 minutes" speaker pelosi is the first woman to hold the speaker position and she is the first person since 1955 to regain the gavel after losing it. a lot of firsts for nancy pelosi. as speaker, she is one of washington's most powerful people. pelosi spoke to leslie stahl about the perception that she is a thorn in the side of her republican colleagues and a thorn in the side of president trump. >> one of the complaints we've heard is that you don't reach across the aisle. it seems like right now, nothing is getting done. you pass things, whatever it is dies in the senate. >> it doesn't die. it doesn't die. we are together 100 days. the fact that we even pass them in the house. is a victory. let's figure out the places, figure out where we can find common ground.

there's always been bipartisan support for dreamers, bipartisan support for gun support. bipartisan support for infrastructure. >> why doesn't anything get done? >> we just started. we just started, we're three months into office. >> but you're talking about 100 days, this president has been in office for two years plus. >> and we've been here three months. hey, may i introduce you to the idea of the power of the speaker is to set the agenda. we didn't have a speaker who would bring a gun bill to the floor. we didn't have a speaker who would bring a dreamers issue to the floor. we do now. and that's a very big difference. the power of the speaker is awesome. awesome. >> she was making a point there. leslie stahl. there are many people who thought her time is done, maybe it's time for new blood, young blood. she has certainly shut all of that down. >> she did. and you know what, strangely, president trump was the one who gave her that opportunity, because remember that meeting in

the oval office? major i'm sure you do. and she stood up to him and walked out in the orange coat and her image was changed on a dime. with the public, i think they knew how tough she was in the congress. this was a moment that transforming. >> and her report about the power is about setting an agenda that's different than the agenda in the first two years of the trump administration. and you can't get everything done, but you can raise new questions and force the opposition party in this case, republicans, to at least to have to respond at some level which is a predicate for the company we're going to have in 2020. >> she's tough but she also is running one of the legislative bodies now. she is the speaker, of the house, but she thinks of congress, she acts that way. so when you say, a different agenda, it's a stronger agenda, because she has the power now, as she says, being speaker is awesome, i can really put these things on the table. and you know something, she is a very strong person. and stronger than i think we

realized. i mean we the public. >> how so? >> well because she -- just watch how she stood up to me in this interview. whatever i asked. i was just -- swatted. in a nice way, that's the other thing about her, she's both powerful and she's very feminine, she dresses like a woman. and she, in a way wants to show everybody that you can be steely tough and feminine and there's no contradiction there. they're the same thing and she's going to show you. >> and there's also a sense i get in the second time around, she views the job and her role in a place of more strength than she did the first time. >> there's no question. she said that she -- sees herself as equal to the president. because the legislative branch and the executive branch are co-equal. >> we're a fractured country at the moment. and we're fractured in congress.

republicans control one chamber. she is leading the other but her party as well also has divisions. what did she say about healing those? >> she, she says we're unified. what she says. >> yes? well, case closed. >> even as they're nipping the left, the left is nipping at her. she brought in 43 new democrats from republican districts. and she knows she has to hold them. she can't allow those districts to flip back. and they're more centrist or more conservative, whatever. and so she needs to bring the left, the far left, the socialists in her caucus, she needs to make sure that they don't jeopardize those -- >> she acknowledged there are socialists in her caucus? >> she said, five. five. that was the number. it's confusing.

there are really only two or three socialists and then there are progressives and they're a much larger faction. and when you speak of the larger left liberals, they're as a larger group, a really trying to change her agenda a little bit. >> i know leslie we've got to go. do you think even the president is a little intimidated by her? he does not have a nickname for her other than nancy. >> yeah. it's very interesting. >> i think the dynamic is very interesting. >> but i'll tell you something, a fun fact, guess who did give her a nickname? george w. bush. and you know what the nickname was? >> i do. >> what was it? >> i have to say it. three, because she's third in line. >> is that correct, major? >> of course. if leslie says it it's correct. ladies and gentlemen, let's just say that. >> thank you very much. and you can see much more of leslie's interview with speaker pelosi this sunday on "60

wikileaks. it has been amazing what is coming out on wikileaks. >> do you still love wikileaks? >> i know nothing about wikileaks. it is not my thing. and i know there is something having to do with julian assange. i've been seeing what has happened with assange. and that will be a determination, i would imagine mostly by the attorney general who doing an excellent job. so he'll be making a determination. i know nothing really about him, it is not my deal in life. >> paula reid is at the white house. here is something i often have to do but want to ask you to do, can you help us sort this out? >> fantastic to see you at the table. clearly the love the president professed for wikileaks didn't last. but when the president was repeat lid praising wikileaks as being amazing on the campaign trail, it is because they were releasing emails and documents that were damaging to his opponent. it appears that julian assange, for whatever reason, preferred a

trump presidency. but turns out donald trump didn't really love wikileaks and it wasdmistration that finally ended up charging assange after the obama administration stalled in its efforts to charge him, even in its investigations into wikileaks. now, i will say this indictment, the evidence is a bit thin. that shows the administration was motivated to charge assange with something, but could be hard to make these charges stick. especially without cooperation from chelsea manning. but federal prosecutors have carefully crafted these computer intrusion charges to try to blunt any effort by assange to argue this was all kosher under the first amendment. >> picking up on that theme, you said administration charged him with something, could we see additional charges against assange? >> a u.s. official confirms yes, they do intend to file additional charg ast nge. his lawyer says they're going to fight extradition. but the u.s. and uk have a favorable extradition treaty. untold it will likely be months, not years before he arrives here

morning? >> look, the key point from parscale is while democrats are raising money for their own campaigns, the president is consolidating money across the country. when it comes time to use it, he'll have more than enough resources. that's something that gives a re-election campaign a degree of confidence. >> if they were worried, do you think they would tell margaret or anybody else? and do you happen to know they are worried but not saying, he's not going to admit it publicly in. >> you can tell there is a rapid white house response to federal work, bernie sanders and joe biden. that's an indicator. the trump white house and the trump campaign is not big on telegraphing worry. >> you can catch more of margaret brennan's interview on "face the nation" this sunday. she'll talk with democratic presidential candidate senator cory

identifiable information. they don't tie it to your name. what if i say, alexa, give this to major garrett, major garrett is being difficult on set. that's pretty identifiable and the person will listen to it and know what's going on. >> i think alexa knew that. like 20 minutes ago. >> a couple of the workers, anonymously told the reporter that they believe they heard sexual assault and physical violence on the recording. but they could do nothing about it. is that true? >> that is true. that raises an interesting conflict. maybe amazon should have identifiable information in extreme circumstances if there is a warrant you can tie it back. if you can do that, everybody should be much more weirded about the policy. >> you're getting personal information, bank accounts, what is going on in your home, whether you're having marital problems, problems at work with colleagues, major garrett. absolutely not true. do you just think we're getting to the point where we just shouldn't have these devices in our homes. >> i think if you are having an

argument with your spouse or something, you probably shouldn't have a recording device in that room. >> most arguments are not planned. it is absolutely not true. >> fair enough. people need to be much more aware of these devices. if you choose to have one of these devices in your house, you're putting a recording device in your house. and you should be aware of the trade-off. it will give you great benefit. but regardless of whether a human is listening to it, we all know machines are looking at it and all know the data is being fed back to the huge system of amazon. you need to be aware of what the trade-off is. >> can you opt out? >> yes amazon does not make this easy. you can go into your alexa app on your phone, a little hamburger menu on the top, click on alexa privacy and you can delete your data, that will swipe it all away. the other thing you can do is click a setting that says something like don't let amazon use my data to improve its

services. it is very -- it is push ing yo not to click on it, you can click on it and your information won't be fed to the unmarked building in romania. >> good product advice here at the table. >> nick thompson, good to have you here, thank you. a young woman's college dream is coming true after she was featured on an award winning reality tv show. ahead, how fans of "queer
