7:03 am
the wait is over. the st. louis blues are the stanley cup champions for the first time in franchise history. this morning's eye-opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. >> go blues! >> go blues indeed. >> stanley cup. >> after 50 years. >> long wait but there it is. welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle is off so michelle miller is cbs this morning's saturday. breaking news, u.s. navy says it is assisting after an attack on two tankers in the middle east. the u.s. defense official tells cbs news it's highly likely iran is behind it. pictures released by iranian state media shows smoke billowing from the ships. the incident took place overnight near the strait of hormuz, main arltry for transporting oil in the middle east. global oil prices are rising.
7:04 am
monitoring developments from london, what do we know from the attack? >> reporter: good morning. the simmering tensions in the gulf are back to boiling after what appears to be two serious assaults on tankers. take a look at this video from iranian state media, which claims to show the aftermath. the japanese firm that owns one of the tankers says its ship was, quote, shelled at least twice, setting fire for the engine room. a second norwegian ship was struck at least three times with what's being described as, quote, torpedos. both crews had to abandon ship. a u.s. defense official tells cbs news that crew members from at least one vessel were forced to board an iranian ship. "uss bainbridge" has picked up 21 others. a spokesperson from the u.s. fleet based in bahrain confirmed it received distress signals from both ships but did not say how the vessels were attacked or
7:05 am
who was behind it. these latest incidents come just a month after four oil tankers were attacked off the coast of the uae. washington accuses tehran of orchestrating those attacks, an accusation it denies. the timing of today's incident was sensitive. japan's prime minister shinzo abe is in the iranian capital on a high-stakes diplomacy mission where he warns tensions between the u.s. and iran could lead to what he called an accidental conflict. this morning on twitter, the iranian foreign minister called those talks friendly, adding suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning. just underscore the ripple effect these tensions in the gulf have around the world, the price of oil has already spiked. but the main concern is that this could boil over into something far more serious. tony. >> thank you.
7:06 am
in a new interview, president trump says he would take information offered by a foreign government about a political opponent, a statement that brought immediate criticism from democrats, of course. paula reid at the white house. what could this meaning for 2020 and the president saying he'd listen. >> reporter: tony, good morning. this appears to be an invitation to interfere. the president took to twitter to defend his stance that he could be willing to work with a foreign government, arguing he talks to foreign leaders all the time about everything. but in this interview he was specifically asked about foreign adversaries like russia and china and his response directly contradicts his own fbi chief. >> i've seen a lot of things in my life. i don't think in my whole life i've ever called the fbi. my whole life. you don't call the fbi. >> reporter: president trump says he wouldn't necessarily alert the fbi if foreign governments offered him dirt on a political opponent. >> i think maybe you do both. i think maybe you want to listen. i don't think there's anything wrong with listening.
7:07 am
>> reporter: when pressed on whether he would want that kind of interference in u.s. elections, the president disputed the term interference. >> it's not interference. they have information. i take it. >> reporter: it is a crime for a campaign to accept anything of value from a foreign national. a poll showed both parties overwhelmingly support a law requiring campaigns report contacts with foreign governments to the fbi. >> this is somebody who says we have information on your opponent. oh, let me call the fbi. give me a break. >> reporter: but fbi director christopher wray has urged that. >> if any official or member of any campaign is contacted by any nation state, or anybody acting on behalf of a nation state, about influencing or interfering with our election, then that's something that the fbi would want to know about. >> the fbi director is wrong. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with jan crawford last month, even the president's attorney general said the administration needs to act
7:08 am
against foreign powers trying to interfere. >> how is the justice department working now to ensure this doesn't happen in 2020. >> we do have an increasingly robust program that is focusing on foreign influence in our election process. >> reporter: the president's challengers for the 2020 election says his comments are further evidence that it's time for impeachment hearings. >> we have a president who neither understands the constitution of the united states or respects the constitution. >> he is yet again open to the idea of working with foreign governments to undermine the integrity of our election system. it's outrageous. >> reporter: the president's remarks come as his son donald jr. face additional questions from lawmakers about the trump tower meeting where he and other campaign officials met with a russian lawyer who offered dirt on hillary clinton. but the special counsel found that meeting did not amount to collusion because the officials didn't know the law and never got their dirt.
7:09 am
tony. >> paula, the president's former aide hope hicks has also agreed to testify. what can we expect from that? >> reporter: this will be significant, tony. this is the first former administration aide to testify in the committee's investigation into whether the president tried to interfere in the special counsel's investigation, but we won't actually get to see this hearing. it will happen behind closed doors. eventually they will release a transcript but it's unclear how much we'll see because the president has exerted executive privilege over so many of these events, she my not have to answer many questions. >> paula reid at the white house. paula, thank you very much. in another battle with congress, a house committee has voted to hold two members of the president's cabinet in contempt over a plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. >> can you imagine, you send out a census and you're not allowed to say whether or not a person is an american citizen. >> the president is claiming executive privilege to keep
7:10 am
congress from seeing documents related to the decision. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, what comes next? >> well, this is an issue that is going all the way to the supreme court, michelle. later this month the justices are expected to rule on whether the citizenship question can be added to the 2020 census. the white house says they are just going back to something that has been asked at various points in the past, but democrats see politics at work here. so they have been trying for a year to try to get their hands on memos and e-mails that would show who got the question added and why. but the justice and commerce departments won't give them what they want, so the house oversight committee voted yesterday to hold the leaders of those agencies in contempt of congress, which could give the committee more power to subpoena these documents. >> nancy, people actually have a choice whether to answer a question on the census, so why does this actually matter? >> well, because experts have
7:11 am
warned that if you add a citizenship question, it is going to discourage some number of immigrant families from answering the census. so they say that's going to skew population figures. because these numbers are used to determine everything from school funding to congressional districts, democrats worry that the immigrant heavy areas they often represent are going to end up suffering as a result. they think that's the real reason this question is being added. >> nancy, thank you. nancy cordes at the capital. we have new surveillance video from the targeted shooting of red sox legend david ortiz. police in the dominican republic say they are now holding the suspected gunmen, one of six people, under arrest. they are still looking for at least four other suspects. mola in santo domingo. have police discovered a motive for the attack? >> reporter: good morning, anthony. the attorney generals office still has not said what
7:12 am
motivated this attack or who orchestrated what they describe as a sophisticated shooting, but they have identified a price tag. neerp nearly $7800 to carry out a hit on the hometown heroes. >> after a press conference, dominican police held up the suspected weapon used to shoot david ortiz in the back. they say the gun was discovered tuesday buried under a how in mao, nearly 100 miles from the shooting scene in santo domingo. seven of the ten suspects were arrested in mao. no one associated with the crime will be immune from punishment, the chief prosecutor said. we recognize the symbolism that david ortiz represents and the commitment we have for this case to be brought to light in its entirety. a cell phone recovered from the shooting scene led police to the alleged gunman. 25-year-old rolfy cruz. they say he had plenty of help. new surveillance shows a meeting
7:13 am
between the suspects in two cars and the accused motorcycle driver, eddie garcia, near the bar before the ambush. the video then appears to show that motorcycle heading towards the bar. minutes later you can see the gunman walk up to ortiz and open fire. dominican authorities have not said which suspect in custody planned the attack, but they do say the group was offered 400,000 dominican pesos, roughly $7800 u.s. dollars to carry it out. as ortiz recovers in boston, police in the dr say they won't rest until the suspects are caught. >> was this investigation complicated because of david's high-profile status? >> reporter: for us all dominicans are important. we will give it the same treatment as aorma criminal investigation. the suspects in this case have still not been officially charged with crimes. prosecutors at the attorney general's office legally have 48 hours after an arrest to do so. one of the suspects is already
7:14 am
facing charges back in the u.s. he has allegedly been on the run since december of 2017 for a string of robberies in new jersey. tony purcha tony. >> mola, thank you very much. we want to show you a tense standoff in a tennessee neighborhood overnight after a deadly shooting involving law enforcement. dozens of protesters took to the streets of memphis throwing rocks and bricks and injuring at least two officers. it started after u.s. marshals shot and killed a manner earlier that night. they say the man resisted arrest and pulled out a weapon. his identity has not been released. police in texas say they have arrested a suspected serial killer after the murder of three people including a transgender woman whose death brought nationwide attention. 23-year-old malaysia booker was shot dead just weeks after an assault on her was shared on social media.
7:15 am
omar villafranca in dallas, what led to the break in the case. >> reporter: good morning. detectives used cell phone records to link him to booker's killing. he was arrested in connection with two other murders and police say he could be tied to additional murders as well. >> thus far arresting lyles has been charged with three counts of murder. >> police arrested lyles as a suspect in the deaths of an unnamed man and woman in north dallas. >> during the course of investigating these two cases, detectives recognized that lyles drove the same type of car that is believed to have picked up malaysia booker on may 18th, 2019. >> by analyzing cell phone records detectives say they learned lyles was in the same area where booker was picked up as well as the scene of her shooting death that same day. booker's father says the arrest brings some relief but will not bring back his child. >> i never thought in a million
7:16 am
days i would lose one of my kids. rest easy, baby. >> in april, booker, a transgender woman, was the victim of an unrelated beating captured on cell phone video. she told authorities her attackers used homophobic slurs. still recovering from her wounds, she into out, calling attention to violence against transgender women of color. >> this time it was me. next time it will be someone else close to you. >> reporter: police say lyles could be connected to additional murders, including the killing of another transgender woman. a person of interest in the death of chynal lindsey, killed days before his arrest. >> we will continue to investigate and see if there are ties with lyle and the other cases. >> reporter: detectives are looking to see if there's a connection in the shooting death of booker and that of 29-year-old brown who identified as britney white. they are also looking into another crime, a nonfatal stabbing of another transgender
7:17 am
woman. lyles does not have an attorney and is being held in jail without bond. >> omar, thank you. oscar winning actor cuba gooding jr. could be charged today for allegedly touching a woman inappropriately at a new york bar. gooding denies the allegation. cpm national correspond jerika duncan is outsz the police department's special victims unit. what exactly is the accusation? >> reporter: we know a woman filed a report with new york city police saying she was dropped by gooding at a bar in manhattan. prosecutors have not charged gooding with any crime as of yet. the associated press reports that a 29-year-old woman told police gooding grabbed her breast while he was intoxicated. gooding lawyer who i into to last night said gooding would turn himself into police today but now tells cbs gooding has no plan to do that until prosecutors confirm they plan to charge him.
7:18 am
tmz says this video shows gooding at the bar sunday night. cbs news has not been able to independently verify that video. however, gooding does say he was at the bar with friends but did not touch anyone inappropriately. gooding's attorney says he is not certain if the case will go forward because the surveillance video he has seen does not reveal any crime. gooding as you know is a well-known actor. he won an academy award for the role in jerry maguire and credited with 50 other films. his attorney says he hopes the video is made public so the public can see for themselves that he did nothing wrong. he also made a comment calling this case overzealous policing. tony. >> all right. jerika duncan, thank you very much. hockey history made last night in game seven of the nhl finals. >> for the first time in history, the stanley cup

>> this morning's eye opener at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual insurance. >> what a great night for st. louis. i'm anthony mason with tony dokoupil and cbs this morning saturday co-host michelle miller. gayle king is off. we start with breaking news. the u.s. navy rushed to assist two tankers in the middle east damaged in an attack overnight. iranian video shows a fire burning on one of the ships, the incident took place in the gulf of oman near the strait of hormuz. a critical oil channel. david martin is at the pentagon with what the u.s. and iran are saying. good morning. >> good morning. white house spokeswoman sarah sanders says the president has been briefed on the attacks outside the persian gulf and a u.s. defense official says it is highly likely iran is responsible. a second u.s. official says the u.s. believes they can recover enough debris from the attacks
8:03 am
to develop a forensic case, tracing the source of the attacks back to where it originated. what the u.s. does next will depend in large part on how solid that evidence is. u.s. has repeatedly warned iran that it would be held accountable for any attacks on american interests and certainly an attack on shipping going in and out of the persian gulf qualifies as an american interest. however, president trump told his advisers last month when tensions with iran first started ratch ratcheting up, that he did not want a war with iran. now, iran's foreign minister has tweeted that suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely tran spired this morning. it is an obvious suggestion that somebody other than iran is behind these attacks.

and that they are timed to sabotage the visit of japan's prime minister abe to iran in an effort to ease tensions in the persian gulf. >> david martin at the pentagon, thanks. the u.s. women's national soccer team is the heavy favorite to repeat as champions in this year's world cup in france. but it is off to a controversial start. the team faces backlash from soccer fans around the world for celebrating each goal in a 13-0 opening win against thailand this week. former team member hope solo says she understands the criticism. she is a three-time olympian. hope solo is in france this morning. good morning, hope. >> good morning. >> you write in an article in the guardian that some of the u.s. goal celebrations were tough for you to watch.
8:05 am
why? >> well, i am no stranger to controversy. but let me tell you, i'm a proponent of respecting my opponents. and i always have been. obviously, you know, i made some comments in the past out of poor sportsmanship, but ultimately i truly believe that we have to show so much class, especially coming from the number one team in the world. but i think it was unnecessary to have planned out goal celebrations. my favorite goal celebrations are the ones that come naturally. you see the passion from the player. what i thought was so classy was after the end of the game, carli lloyd went up to the goalkeeper, and she put her arm around her and walked her off the field and that is the class that i want to see from the united states. >> would men be getting the same kind of criticism? >> i think so. i think that's how we grow the
8:06 am
game. we have to be criticized. there is ongoing debate now in england about how to push the women's game forward. well, we have to be willing to take criticism as women athletes and women footballers because ultimately the men take criticism as well. >> i think the men's team would be happy to have a problem like 13 goals. >> right. >> but, hope, we are at a moment where you're advocating for equal pay for women in the realm of soccer. the women's national team is doing the same. if the celebrations are about fan engagement, isn't it counteproductive to say, hey, drop that down a few notches? >> i don't think it is counterproductive. like i said, we can celebrate goals. america loves winning. and we certainly put on quite the show the other night. it was a comprehensive performance it was a beautiful performance by the united states. but i still think we can celebrate those goals and a fan can enjoy the game without having to choreography
8:07 am
celebrations. >> back in 2016, as you alluded to earlier, you mentioned after a loss to sweden that sweden had played like, quote, a bunch of cowards. i know that's a heat of a moment comment. wouldn't you say the celebrations are largely just more of the same? heat of the moment celebrations? >> there is a time and place for the choreographied celebration and a time and place for the natural whatever happens after a goal, just kind of the natural aspect of sport. and i think that's what i want to see more of. >> hope, what about a team like chi chile, the next matchup for the u.s. in the tournament. how do you think the u.s. is going to do? >> i think that they have a lot of momentum right now, the united states. they're playing with so much confidence. chile is going to present a different task for the united states. i want to see the united states defense get tested. ultimately they haven't been
8:08 am
tested yet. to win this tournament, it has to be a complete team perfo performan performance. we have not seen how our united states defense and goalkeeper will perform under pressure. so i actually hope they get tested a little bit by chile. but i know the united states are going to do what they do best and score goals and ultimately they will come out on top on the second game as well. >> hope solo, thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> of course. thank you, everybody. new tests are raising concern about potentially dangerous levels of a chemical found in weed killer. that is also in popular cereals and snacks. dr. david agus is in our toyota green room with

every thursday we highlight stories affecting consume areas cross the country. new tests reveal popular cereals and snacks could have potentially dangerous levels of the same chemical found in weed killer. it is called glyphosate. the highest levels were found in honey nut cheerios medley crunch, with more than five times what the advocacy group considers a safe level. original cheerios had more than 4 1/2 times what they consider is a safe level. it is safe under epa standards. >> general mills released a statement saying we continue to work closely with farmers, our suppliers and conservation organizations to minimize the use of pesticides on ingredients we use in our foods.
8:16 am
>> the maker of roundup weed killer says the levels in this report are, quote, far below the established safety standards. we also reached out to the epa, but have not heard back. dr. david agus is a cancer specialist and joins us now. so the environmental working group, the advocacy organization says this is too much. other organizations say it is not. bottom line, should we be taking a risk with this in our cereal? >> bottom line we just don't know. the problem is when you eat something, there is a 10, 20 year lag between disease and the intervention. so glyphosate came out about in the '60s. in the '90s, gmo food came out and roundup ready crops, you can kill all the weeds, but not the crops, the usage went through the roof. >> would you put it in your body if you had a choice? >> i wouldn't. everybody asks me that. what we know is that it can kill bacteria in your gi tract, disrupt your endocrine system
8:17 am
and reasonable data it can increase risk of lymphoma. based on all of those, probably not good. in the last couple of years, more and more farms across the world are using it to kill all of their crop right before harvest, easier to harvest. the levels have gone up in the last decade. >> how does it get into our cheerios and our oat-based foods? >> you said that with love, cheerios. >> i do. >> don't mess with my cheerios. >> saw it in your eyes. so they spray the crops right before harvest and all killed at once and drys out the crop and make a harvest of it. that's a lot of chemical on the crops. the crops are processed and it is in our food. so this is something that we're measuring now. most people in the country, you can find glyphosate. this chemical disrupts our body, affects the bacteria in our gi tract, hormone levels and many of the cells in our body. how it affects disease, we're not going to know for another ten years. the real uses in the last decade. >> the manufacturer of the weed
8:18 am
killer told cbs news, the reality is regulatory authorities have strict rules when it comes to pesticide residues and the levels in this report are well below the safety standards. should farmers look for an alternative here? >> the farmer who doesn't use it is at a competitive disadvantage to his or her neighbor who does use it. we have to figure out bet and safeways. the regulations, they just changed the rules to lower the rate allowed in food. we have to re-examine this. i think with everything we have to look and say, are there better ways of growing. hydroponics, no insecticides and pesticides, maybe move in that direction. new things need to be done. >> we got a fly on -- >> get him. >> take him. >> take him out. >> yeah! well done! dr. david agus, thank you very much. if you want to see a full list

first immigration where they try to push away their family, their culture, where they come from. i wanted to make a story where you hang onto what you have, you believe versus what you actually do. we explore it in standup and then in the show. >> were you trying to be quietly revolutionary as "the new york times" calls it? >> yeah, every day since i was a kid. let's make this revolution a whisper, a hushed tone, but really a revolution for sure. >> but you're a bit raunchy here and there sometimes. you don't shy away from that either. >> we've got to be real. we've got to show it. and then my mom will yell at me later. yeah, we do what we've got to do. >> when i think about the show, i once heard seinfeld and ores say a couple of white guys and comedy. you have to figure in education and comedy.
8:45 am
how do you fit it all in? >> we try to make it a good show. if we go in thinking this is the first show with an arab muslim family and you take on all this weight, it's not fair. even when you say first. it's like a sense of desperation. it might be your last. >> do you think the market has been pushed on you? it's in everything. >> it's the truth of the landscape, but you can't really write to that and you can't take on the weight. it's tough to watch. if you're trying to check every box and check everything, we call it ramy because it's just my story and we wantede to star from there and hopefully that opens up other stories to be told. >> are you conscious of it at all when you're doing it. >> you have to at every level, but you try not to have it affect your writing. people are like, dude, i can't wait for you to do it.
8:46 am
it's exciting for that support, but you're making the show. >> i have to tell you what was so stark to me was all the stereotypes you do hit on. you managed to hit every nerve, strike every trope, and there's some -- i didn't even realize were there. >> yeah. we went for it. it's definitely not an easy watch sometimesing but we wanted to make something that felt real. to every family member you try to hide is in the show. every conversation you try to run away from is aless in the show. >> speaking of family members youtry to hide, you grew up in a household where your father was manager of the plaza hotel. you have a bit in the standup about how there was a picture in your house with donald trump and your father. donald trump was manager. >> owner. >> owner. and your father was the manager.
8:47 am
and every person in the photo where you shake hands is your uncle. >> we all have that uncle it. was really bizarre knowing that my father is an immigrant who is part of the businesses that have made him rich -- i think he's rich. >> he says he is. >> he says he is. >> so it's odd. because we -- you know, my dad had a good relationship with him, so i don't have anything negative to say on a personal front. that's what's weird when you see the public rhetoric versus what you know to be true in private, so that's bizarre. noting that from a personal place was something i felt worth bringing up. >> how did your parents' journey here influence your comedy? >> so much. when people come from a different place, obviously my a personals wanted to be here and continue to want to be here. you feel that pull to your
8:48 am
homeland but also feel happy to be here. for me growing up here, there's a constant back-and-forth and that's really what the comedy describes and explains. there's this pull to be here and egypt where my family's from. we shot the last two episodes there. >> that must have been wild. >> it was crazy. one of our locations was three blocks from the apartment my dad grew up in, so i was really -- >> were you going looks there? >> people were so excited. they were so pumped we were shooting a film there. a lot of films are shot there, but that it was a u.s. show, they were. >> keep it quiet. >> we won't ted anything. >> it's going to air on june 20th. it's terrific. you need to tune in.
