prince salman. quote, there is credible evidence asking for more investigation. holly, good morning to you. what does the report say? >> reporter: good morning. this report will undoubtedly infuriate the government of saudi arabia mainly because of the key headline, that quote, there is critical evidence warranting further investigation of high-level saudi arabian possibly killing jamal khashoggi. a critic of the government visited istanbul, turkey in
7:05 am
october last year, never to be seen again. at first the saudi government denied all involvement, then more than two weeks later, they finallyted bee killed inside tconsulate. they claimed in a physical altercation. then weeks later, they said he had actually been killed by a lethal injection in a rogue operation. jamal khashoggi's body has never been found. the u.n. report also found that the trial in saudi arabia of 11 suspects failed to meet procedural standards and should be suspended. it's being held behind closed doors, and the fear is that some of those suspects could be put to death without the opportunity to tell their stories to the outside world. tony? >> holly, what does this mean for the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia? >> reporter: i think the key thing, tony, is that it increases the pressure on the u.s. government to take a tougher line with the saudis beyond the sanctions on individuals that are already in place, and specifically with
7:06 am
respect to the crown prince, mohamed bin salman. >> holly, thank you very much. president trump launched his bid for a second term by painting a scary picture of the future if he's not reelected. he officially started the campaign bhwhile he faced turmo back in washington. he accused his critics of unamerican conduct, lashed out at the press and claimed democrats, quote, want to destroy our country. he also said, destroy all of you, referring to his voters. weja wang has been traveling with the president. she's in florida. wijia, what else did he have to say? >> it was actually just a collection of his greatest hits. he revisited old rivalries, aired some familiar grievances and renewed those promises he has made since his campaign in 2016, because in many ways, it

7:09 am
running the reelection campaign, brad parscale, and marked this rally as a sign of things to come. >> it is on the positive and negative side. let's talk about the negative side. this rally, this reelection launched, was overshadowed by a week of stories of lagging polling data, then the campaign had to essentially argue that all public polling is irrelevant and only the trump campaign understands how popular donald trump is and what his reelection might be. on the positive side, we'll see these rallies at least two a month, and think of them not as just a political event but a polling data operation. everyone who rallies for the trump rally becomes part of data already set. already 100,000 potential voters. i asked brad parscale about just
7:10 am
that yesterday. as this campaign continues, do you win it with technology or do you win it with the president? >> first of all, the president always wins it. my job is to get the last point 100%. the voter who maybe didn't hear him. the president will win this. i always said the president won the first election with his airplane and his cell phone and a twitter account. this time, though, we have to do more globalization. we have the power of incumbency and this time we have the power and money to get him from .1% to .2%. if i can do that, then i've done a good job. >> reporter: here's a point of last night's rally. true, a massive crowd in orlando. but about an hour into that speech, i noticed something we hadn't seen before, trump supporters leaving before the speech was over. after the speech, the rally site cleared out quickly and there was not the kind of intense pro-trump enthusiasm i had seen at previous rallies for the d
7:11 am
duration of the event. that's something the trump campaign will probably have to pay attention to. >> that's interesting, major. the president is facing 20 democratic challenges in his reelection bid. how does that impact the campaign strategy? >> reporter: parscale told metee democrats nominated, that the party is merging so far left that the party can not only face its accomplishments, but whoever the nominee is in such a way to mobilize hard-core trump supporters but also some democrats. so the campaign is only looking at what it describes as this leftward movement. i asked does joe biden become part of that? he said absolutely not, and if he can beat biden, he can get all of the states that matter most in 2020.
7:12 am
>> can we just point out you are not unusually short. brad parscale is verytall. he's like 6'8". >> reporter: he is all of 6'8". and that leaves me sort of doing this. >> i thought that was a good observation on tony's part. major, thank you very much. president trump is looking again for a permanent secretary of defense. acting secretary pat shanahan abruptly withdrew his nomination yesterday after domestic violence incidents from several years ago surfaced. now the pentagon has been without a permanent leader since december. it is one of nine top administration roles filled by acting leaders. david martin is at the pentagon with more on this story. david, good morning to you, and let's start with how has the president responded? >> reporter: good morning, gayle. president trump claims he only found out about the allegations this week, but two white house sources tell cbs news they knew about shanahan's troubles when the president nominated him last

7:14 am
his so rtedly saying in a memo, the attack happened after kimberly harassed him for nearly three hours. shanahan told the "washington post" monday, there was never any justification for attacking someone with a baseball bat. even after this revelation, supporters doubt shanahan could have been confirmed. >> i understand these allegations that are facing him, this is probably a good move by the administration. >> reporter: as the administration plans to move troops to the middle east amid rising tensions with iran, the lack of a permanent appointment has some on capitol hill concerned. >> we need to have a secretary of defense without the name acting after it. >> reporter: former defense secretary leon panetta says national security is at stake. >> any time you don't have that secretary in place, it raises issues with regards to the military and the strategies you

8:03 am
>> explain what you mean? >> it's too complex to call a couple hundred people and did wh ask what they think. there are so many ways and different people that will vote. the way turnout works and the ability to turn out voters, the polling can't understand that. that's why it was so wrong in 2016. it was 100% wrong. nobody got it right. and not one public poll. the reason why is not 1962 anymore. it's not a place where there is only a few decisions and everybody lines up to vote like a good old american. the world's changed. none of these polls mean anything. it's the biggest joke. it's the fake exist thing. it's the fakest thing. >> reporter: why does it get in the president's craw? >> ask him that. because the media makes it look like it matters. it doesn't. >> reporter: why does he care? >> i don't know. you have to ask him that. >> trump internal polling, they are using it even though they

8:05 am
case against iran, but at this point all they would confirm is that these limpet mines bear a striking resemblance to those used by iran. in other words, we don't have the smoking gun. they cannot say definitively that the limpet mines used into these attacks, thesere prolific weapons and can be found in many places, were actually made inside iran. now, all of this evidence was literally laid out and explained to us by investigators, the top investigators for the u.s. navy fifth fleet at a briefing this morning. we are told there will be more details in the days ahead. for "cbs this morning," char will d'agata in the united arab emirates. today is juneteenth, which commemorates the emancipation of slaves after a civil war. a houser committee hears testimony this morning about slavery reparations.bieforhe coe uld create a commission to study and consider reparations.

a lead house sponsor of the government study, agrees. >> it is clearly an opportunity for america to enter into a constructive dialogue, an open dialogue about the implant of slavery and racism. >> reporter: now, just because there is a hearing being held today and that i loan is notable doesn't guarantee it will get a vote in the full house. that republican opposition signals that the issue is likely dead for now in the senate. tony. >> all right. ed, thank you very much. we heard mitch mcconnell say there are in effect no slave owners around today. so none of us have anything to do with it. >> what difference does that make? >> that's one way to look at it. >> yeah. the question is are there descendants who don't have the wealth that their created or on the other side do and should that be corrected. >> it was a promise given way back then never kept and the effects that happened since that. i think impor conversation. john conyers introduced this in

8:17 am
>> reporter: for many women like georgi, the only sign of endometriosis is infertility, but most patients have severe pain during their menstrual cycle. endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus appears outside the uterine cavity. researchers are still working to understand how this happens. >> the lag time between onset of symptoms and diagnosis is usually anywhere from eight to ten years. >> reporter: he performs the minimally invasive surgery required to diagnosis and remove the telltale lesions that interfere with getting pregnant and disrupt women's lives. >> women are plagued with chronic pain symptoms, which can be quite disruptive to quality of life, and also affects women at a time in their life when they are trying to have a family, have their first baby. >> reporter: a baby is still a

8:19 am
very important way to give women a way to have control? >> absolutely. and we can't tell them yet with relief, but we can give them the validation and the better communication tools. >> reporter: how do you think your life would have changed if one of those first specialists had said to you might have endometriosis? >> i would be in a better place financially. i would have more children. i mean, i still am struggling with letting go of not having more children. >> removing lesions with laparoscopic surgery is considered the best treatment option. however, many women may also be treated with hormones, oral contraceptives, painkillers and even hysterectomy. >> i know regular cramp pain can be kind of excruciating. how do you know the different between regular cramps that can be painful and endometriosis? >> that's a great question. we asked the doctor that. essentially, he said if the pain and cramps gets progressively worse over time and it can't be

8:31 am
the publisher said monday i extend my heartfelt and sincere apologies to the posner family. this father has been battling hoaxers for a long time. they are harassed him, subjected him to death threats. they claimed he was an actor and his son never existed. he had to have his son's dna tested to prove they were father and son. he has about nine lawsuits in other states pending. >> you talk to any of those family members, it's cruel, it's mean, and it's just -- >> can you imagine losing your child? 20 kids died. and then going through this. >> it is a bizarre case of misinformation. i visited that town and spoke to some of these fathers. they are also fighting a legal battle against alex jones, who led the effort to deny the existence of that shooting. >> tony, what's your story? >> i'm working through mine. it just came out today. it is about the opioid epidemic. we have been reporting it. i have reported on it. and the sackler family, they are
8:32 am
the founding family of purdue pharma and the makers of oxycontin. they have been blamed in dozens of lawsuits, many which blame the individual family members for instigating the crisis. and then marketing this drug callously and irresponsibly. that's the accusation. so for the first time we are hearing from family member. david sackler, his grandfather raymond founded the company. his father was the president of the company. he was on the board. he sits down with "vanity fair" and addresses the accusations sort of. he says his goal is to humanize his family. he talks about their hardships, his 4-year-old comes home from school and asks how his family killed all these people. he talks about the harassment. he gently addresses the lawsuits. he says that they are not to blame. they never had a big share of the market, and the really big sort of scandalous take away
8:33 am
from the lawsuits where his father is seen really callously referring to victims as abusers and says we should hammer them. talks about a blizzard of prescriptions. he says those are an older guy not communicating well on email. i don't know how that's going to land with families who have lost someone and the author says, you know, he is not apoll jet i can. he is defense. >> they have so much evidence to the contrary. it will be interesting to see how that turns out. now mine totally different. deodorant, anyone? a poll finds half of young people are not using deodorant. by young, i mean 18 to 24-year-olds admit close to 40% of them say that they don't use deodorant. not because they are concerned about the health issues involved. it's because they don't think that they need to. it's not lack of hygiene. they don't think they need it. when you hit 25, maybe 30% don't
8:34 am
use it. >> hold on. i am like replaying my own thing in my head. did you say 50% of young people don't use deodorant. >> 40% n of 18and 24. >> for financial reasons? >> no, they don't feel they need it. i think that's interesting. >> may i point something out? >> think of your fellow human being. that's all i'm saying. n they are not using alternatives, by the way. the body's natural pheromones are natural afro dish yaks, i just want to say. >> not anybody i know. soap and water, people, always works. >> always works. >> 50 years ago this summer americans saw a monumental highs and lows on july 18th, 1969. senator ted kennedy drove his car over a bridge in chappaquiddick, massachusetts. the crash killed his passenger,

my characters and not necessarily about the issues. but i thought at the end i was able to weave them together. so we have the family that is involved in the moon landing, that is involved in chappaquiddick. >> were they hippies? >> well, woodstock plays a big part at the end. i was able to weave all of the elements that made 1969 so unique into the novel. >> it seems personal because that's the year you were born, too? >> yeah. >> does that stand out to you? i didn't realize all that happened in the same year, by the way. >> it happened the week i was born. so i was born on july 17th. >> wow. >> 1969. on the 16th. >> that's an epic week. >> yes. it was apollo 11, chappaquiddick. >> do you have a twin? >> i have athi had to move it u >> in a way you were telling your origin story? >> absolutely. absolutely. my story of origin. >> and one of the characters involves a 19-year-old which also resonates with you who is

8:38 am
presented to. so the set 50 years ago. >> did you find writing a historical novel more challenging? >> i did. my main source of research was asking people their memories. i went to people who were young adults in 1969, and that was the greatest amount of research. i loved it. >> every time you come, elin, i am reminded when i met you five years ago. she was here at the table the day before you were having a double mastectomy. i remember saying how could you be here on the day before. you said, what else would i do? i said i would be home looking at my boobs. one more look at them. or i'd be in the fetal position. you said, no, i have already done that. you said no, i'm just going to go through the day like a normal day. i marvel at that. you are looking good. how are you feeling? >> i feel healthier. i feel happier. i feel wiser. >> do you? >> yeah, absolutely.
