will in the u.s. virgin islands where he owned a home just two days before his suicide in a new york city jail cell. first on "cbs this morning" we're hearing from one of the attorneys involved in the new lawsuits. mola lenghis following the story for us. good morning, mola. what are we learning? >> reporter: good morning, guys. the contents of the lawsuits, well frankly, they're a bit overwhelming. one even alleges that following his 2008 conviction, on child prostitution charges in florida, epstein used his work release program as a front for more sexual abuse. victims' attorneys tell us that this is not just about going after the multi-millionaire's fortune but getting justice for the women whose lives he allegedly ruined. >> we want to hold the epstein organization to account first. it is not primarily about money. >> stan pottinger represents 20 jeffrey epstein accusers including three women who filed civil lawsuits overnight. >> all of them are against the

epstein epstein estate and various companies he had as part of his scheme or syndicate or the organization that he had that helped him round up girls. >> reporter: the lawsuit brought by lisa doe claims an epstein associate e hired lisahen 17 to teach a dance based exercise class at epstein's town house. in later interactions he elicited massages, used a sex toy on her forcibly and ultimately demanded she go to her dance studio and find other dancers. the lawsuit filed by katelyn doe alleges epstein sexually abused her when she was 17 and coerced her to lose her virginity to him after she turned 18 and also claims epstein forced her to marry an associate who wasn't a u.s. citizen so they could stay in the country to recruit more girls. the lawsuit brought by priscilla doe who was 20 when she first met epstein is the only one to name his purported ex-girlfriend turned business associate ghislain maxwell. priscilla claims maxwell taught her the proper way to sexually please epstein while on a trip

to his island in the caribbean and alleges epstein at one point confiscated her passport so she couldn't leave the island voluntarily. priscilla's lawsuit also mentions some of epstein's powerful friends. she says she once met the sultan of dubai with epstein and on another occasion was forced to serve at a private party epstein had with director woody allen. all three lawsuits take aim at epstein's fortune which is revealed to be worth nearly $578 million. epstein's brother, mark, is the only listed heir. after epstein's suicide the criminal sex trafficking charges against him effectively died but pottinger says the pursuit of justice is very much alive. >> i think the government while it has been taken off track briefly by this untimely death, i think they are not giving up. >> we should mention ghislain maxwell is not charged with a crime and has denied recruiting women or any wrongdoing for epstein in the past. the new lawsuits come after

attorney general william barr yesterday removed the acting director of the bureau of prisons amid mounting evidence of irregularities at the facility where epstein was held before his apparent suicide, tony. >> mola, highly disturbing details to put it lightly in ese thw allegations. at the same time prosecutors here in new york have dropped criminal charges against epstein or moved to do so. what does that mean going forward? >> well, even if those charges are dropped, prosecutors could also pursue epstein's coconspirators, the other alleged people who allegedly have done crimes. they could pursue them with criminal charges. otherwise the civil cases are the main avenue for recourse for the victims like this morning's lawsuit that was just filed. again, that's amid multiple federal investigations that we're seeing unfold. >> so the pursuit of justice continues. >> it does. >> death does not stop this case. it goes on. many, many questions. good to see you, mola. >> thanks. the new york city police officer fired for causing the death of eric garner by using a prohibited chokehold plans to sue to get his job back.

the police commissioner announced the dismissal of officer daniel pantaleo yesterday explaining that while garner resisted arrest, it is clear pantaleo broke the department's rules. errol barnett is outside new york city police headquarters. what is the reaction to this decision? >> reporter: as you might imagine, there has been intense reaction on both sides of this. the garner family welcomes this long awaited accountability and they say they are ready to fight pantaleo's appeal. meanwhile, the representative of the city's largest police union slammed this decision, saying officers may now hesitate to use force for fear they may be fired. >> today is a day of reckoning but can also be a day of reconciliation. >> reporter: the nypd police commissioner james o'neill made the final decision to fire officer pantaleo following a judge's recommendation. >> officer pantaleo's use of a prohibited chokehold was reckless and constituted a gross deviation from the standard of

conduct established for a new york city police officer. >> reporter: the now infamous video showing officer pantaleo's attempt to arrest eric garner for selling untaxed cigarettes -- >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> reporter: -- gave voice to a nationwide protest against police brutality. >> i can't believe. >> reporter: casting a shadow over the nation's largest police force. commissioner o'neill admitted firing pantaleo wasn't an easy decision. >> i've been a cop a long time. if i was still a cop, i probably would be mad at me. i would. you're not looking out for us. but i am. >> reporter: the police union says the decision puts officers' lives at risk. >> the leadership has abandoned ship and left our police officers on the street. alone. >> reporter: for the third year in a row, dying in encounters with police officers has increased. in 2018 police officers killed

more than 1160 people and with zero officer convictions. >> i'm still out here. i'm out here for the long run. >> reporter: garner's mother says she won't stop fighting for complete justice. >> there is a lot of anger in me because he goes home tonight. he goes home tomorrow night. he'll get another job. i won't get my son back. so there is no justice for eric. >> reporter: now, along with losing his job, pantaleo will not receive his pension. but consider this. because a local grand jury and the justice department declined to bring criminal charges against him, pantaleo can still work as a police officer anywhere else. >> all right. errol, intense feelings on both sides as you point out. thank you very much. california governor gavin newsom signed a new law tightening rules on police use of force in his state. it allows officers to use deadly force only when necessary to save a life or prevent serious injuries.

in the past police could use deadly force if their actions were considered reasonable. the change was prompted by several deadly police shootings including the 2018 death of stefan clark in sacramento. officers mistook his cell phone for a gun. also in california a man hunt is under way in the southern part of the state after the murder of a retired university administrator. this is a strange story. steven chan was found dead inside his car at a campus parking lot at california state fullerton yesterday. he had been stabbed multiple times. chan was previously the university's budget and finance director and was working as a consultant. police say this was not a random attack though they are still trying to determine a motive. president trump says the u.s. economy is strong and we're not headed toward a recession. but his administration is looking for ways to boost the economy. ben tracy is at the white house. ben, what are they considering? >> reporter: well, good morning. we're told they are considering new tax cuts. white house officials are also throwing cold water on a report

in "the washington post" of a payroll tax cut, telling us that is not something they're considering right now. payroll taxes are the amount of money taken out of people's pay checks to fund social security and medicare. if that tax is lowered it is seen as a way to quickly increase consumer spending and juice the economy. why is the white house concerned about the economy? well, a majority of economists predict the u.s. is headed for a recession by 2021 at the latest so tax cuts now could be a way to delay a recession until after the 2020 election. on twitter president trump continues to tout what he is calling a strong economy but at the same time is also criticizing federal reserve chairman jerome powell for what the president calls a horrendous lack of vision for not cutting interest rates enough. mr. trump called for the federal reserve to slash rates by a full percentage point an amount the fed would only normally consider during a recession. the president is well aware his approval rating is strongly tied

to his handling of the economy. about half of all americans say they approve of the way the president is handling the economy and that is a big issue for him heading into the 2020 election. gayle? >> got it. thank you, ben. planned parenthood is giving up tens of millions of dollars in federal money over a new trump administration rule that would restrict its clinics from making abortion referrals. planned parenthood calls the new policy unethical and dangerous saying it could limit services to more than 1 million of its patients. jan crawford is outside a planned parenthood center in washington. jan, good morning to you. what is the potential impact of this decision? >> reporter: well, i mean, planned parenthood says the new rule means some low income women who go to their clinics for birth control or other family planning services may not be able to get discounted rates and would then have to go somewhere else for that. in total, planned parenthood is turning down some $60 million a year. >> we refuse to engage with an

administration that is going to force us not to deliver the best possible care to our patients. >> reporter: planned parenthood acting president and ceo alexis mcgill johnson says her organization was forced out of the title x funding by the trump administration. title x subsidizes family planning services for some 4 million women nationwide. planned parenthood says it has served about 40% of those patients that it says might now have to seek care elsewhere. the president has championed the rule for months with religious conservatives who had pushed for it. >> we've issued a final rule to prohibit title x taxpayer funding from subsidizing the abortion industry. >> the impact will mean that people may choose to forego care. they may choose to delay their care until this is resolved. that's what's unacceptable. >> reporter: by law the federal money could never be used to perform abortions. but under the new rule clinics that receive money under title x

programs can no longer refer patients for abortions. the rule is almost identical to one issued by the reagan administration and upheld in 1991 by the supreme court but was reversed by president bill clinton in 1993. >> the reality is planned parenthood for years has been abusing title x as a marketing slush fund. women come in to planned parenthood for birth control services and then they're sold their abortion services. >> reporter: kristan hawkins is president of students for life and advocated for the new title x rule. >> women are still going to receive the same amount of access and care. they just aren't able to go to a planned parenthood and aren't going to be receiving title x funds for that. >> reporter: now, a federal appeals court in san francisco is now considering whether or not to overturn the rule. planned parenthood also is taking the fight to congress trying to get legislation that would protect the funding. meanwhile, the trump administration says there are other organizations that will step up and provide these services for low income women.

tony? >> thank you very much. the two congresswomen barred from entering israel gathered with other muslim americans yesterday to condemn the israeli decision. we asked representative rashida tlaib why she refused israel's offer of a humanitarian visa to visit her grandmother without taking part in politics? >> i spoke to my family and i think my grandmother said it beautifully when she said i am her bird in arabic. she said i am her dream manifested. i am her free bird. so why would i come back and be caged and bow down when my election rose her head up high? gave her dignity. for the first time. and so through tears at 3:00 in the morning we all decided as a family that i could not go until i was a free, american, united stat congresswoman. >> very interesting answer there. representative ilhan omar was also barred from israel and she

called on other members of congress to visit palestinian areas. she wants them to talk with opponents of israel's government that they intended to meet with before this incident. democratic presidential hopeful elizabeth warren used a native american campaign forum to apologize for taking a dna test to try to confirm her belief that she had native american ancestors. >> i want to say this. like anyone who is being honest with themselves, i know that i have made mistakes. i am sorry for harm i have caused. i have listened and i have learned a lot. >> after that meeting yesterday warren moved on to a rally in st. paul, minnesota, that drew her largest crowd of the campaign, some 12,000 people. the latest poll of democrats in neighboring iowa shows the massachusetts senator in second place there behind joe biden.

facebook and twitter have dismantled a state backed social media campaign originating in china that sought to undermine protests in hong kong. hundreds of thousands of antigovernment demonstrators have rallied for 11 straight weeks in that territory. twitter suspended about 200,000 accounts believed to be part of the beijing backed campaign. facebook also removed several pages and accounts. the social media companies say the accounts were suspended for spreading disinformation that violates the platform's terms of service. an american man charged with killing a hotel worker at a caribbean resort is telling his side of the story for the very first time. only on "cbs this morning" what he says happened that day. plus new information about the man who died that could actually shift the f another cool day with below average temperatures because of that onshore flow.

terrible but hopes to clear his name. several months out on bail but traveling back and forth to angola this week ahead of a court appearance on thursday. we spoke yesterday during the first trip back to the island, required as part of his bond agreement. >> defend my young daughters in front of the attacker that was crazed and desperate and i had to just hold on to that fact. i wouldn't do it again and thank god i was in the room when he came. >> he was anxious about returning to ahere for the firs time in months when he was ambushed by a resort worker there. >> i was on vacation, relaxing with my family and attacked at knife point in a private hotel room on an exclusive resort. >> reporter: after the incident on april 13th, a spokeswoman for hapgood said he showed unannounced in uniform around 4:00 p.m. claiming he was there

to fix a broken sink before carrying out his sudden violent attack. they said he was armed and demanding money. four days later, authorities charged hapgood with manslaughter and later released on $74,000 bail. >> certainly the most terrifying event i've ever experienced, not just the attack, but the way i was treated on the island, the time i spent in jail, the threats since, the frustration with dealing with the local judicial process and the local government. >> reporter: hapgood's family said he was stabbed, bitten several times and sustained many bruises over his arms and chest. his autopsy shows he was beaten and choked to death but a toxicology report released by the island's attorney general also shows mitchel had cocaine, kbls and other drugs in his system and blood alcohol more than two times the legal limit inhe u.s. >> my son wasn't into those

if you're hoping to pick up a plastic bottle of water at one of the nation's busiest airports, you'll soon be out of luck. san francisco international rolling out a ban to end their sale at its shops, restaurants and vending machines. it's all part of the airport's latest effort to become the world's first zero waste airport by 2021. john blackstone, how are they

implementing this ban? >> reporter: good morning. well, sfo said each person who comes through here produces about half a pound of trash. to try to eliminate that waste, the airport has cut back on the use of single use food items like napkins and straws and now going after these single use plastic bottles in favor of reusable alternatives like this. san francisco international airport says this could be the ticket to a greener future. >> for an airport that sells about 10,000 bottles of water per day, generates about 28 million pounds of waste per year, this is really a big thing that we can impact in terms of having waste not going into landfill. >> reporter: beginning today, the airport will begin gradually phasing out plastic water bottles. first, they'll sell off what's currently on store shelves. once that inventory dries up, passengers encouraged to refill

their own reusable containers at any of 100 hydration stations, or buy water in glass or aluminum containers. >> you try to encourage people to do the right thing, forcing them to do the right thing in some ways. >> we like to say encouraging. >> reporter: for the most part, people seem to be on board with the change. >> if you know about it, it's great, if you don't, it's inconvenient but that's headed in the right direction, i think. >> reporter: you wouldn't buy a plastic bottle of water? >> even offered to me, i come fully prepared. >> reporter: the airport following a 2014 ordinance banning sale of plastic on city wide property. nationwide, discard 30 million tons of plastic every year. only about 8% gets recycled. much of it gets in landfills where it takes up to a thousand years to decompose, reaching toxins into our soil and water. but you'll still see plastic bottles at sfo. the ban does not apply to

flavored drinks like soda and juice. >> you want to do some good and yet they don't tackle the whole problem. >> reporter: can't buy bottled water in a plastic bottle but you can buy soda in a plastic bottle. does that make sense? >> our hope is the industry continues to expand. if there's not good alternatives for teas, juices and sodas but hoping that changes over time. >> reporter: as of now, the policy only applies at the airport. it doesn't apply to the airlines that fly in and out of here. sfo said it's the first airport to ban plastic water bottles, but it hopes the idea takes off at other airports. >> nicely done, john blackstone. >> i have to admit, i like that couple. puzzled why water is singled out. what's that about? >> reporter: what the airport says is there are already alternatives for water now that we can get them in aluminum

containers like this or even in boxes like this. the same alternatives don't apply to juices and sodas at this time. they're hoping the industry will move in that direction and of course, lots of people now bring their own reusable bottles and there's lots of places to fill them up here at the airport. >> start cupping your hand. >> baby steps. i think it's good to start somewhere. it will be inconvenient in the beginning but it's such an important message and really is -- >> see all the bottles? >> but this is going to be a continued cultural, the trump reelection campaign is selling straws, banned in some places. we could see a presidential tweet on this before the day is out. i think so. thanks to john blackstone. david begnaud is looking at stories for today. >> elton john is blasting critics of megan alhan markle.

"the daily beast" recently published the story. the garden grove unified school district tells cbs news it took immediate action and addressed the situation with all students and families involved. school officials say federal law actually prevents them from disclosing how the boys were disciplined. but they say cultural sensitivity education took place after the event. >> another reason to have a conversation. painful as it is to watch it and annoying. at least talk about it. >> the "daily beast" point out that one student said that apparently the students were not addressed about this, at least in a broad form by the administration of the school. the second thing is, probably that song is very obscure, and there are a lot of questions about how the kids knew about. it. >> what were they watching on line, what could be next, not cool. elton john coming to the defense of meghan markle and prince harry. this after news broke about the royal couple's recent vacation to nice, france. headlines focused on their use of a private jet. some thought it went against their views on protecting the environment. elton john revealed that he is

the one who provided the couple with the private jet, and that they stayed at his home in nice. on social media, elton john says he called the press accounts distorted and malicious. the singer said he felt a profound sense of obligation to protect harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to princess diana's untimely death. elton john said he ensured that the flight was carbon neutral. i'm glad you're doing this story. we keep hearing that the story's bubbling up in the u.k. and starting here. elton john makes a point of saying he contributed to the organization carbon footprint to cover the cost of whatever -- whatever happened when they used that flight. but aren't you entitled as a royal couple to have a friend that says, here, i'd like to offer this to you. i will cover all the costs, and i will make sure that no damage is done to the environment in the meantime? >> yeah. >> ellen degeneres came to the defense, too. thank you, ellen. she said, imagine being attacked for everything you do when all you're trying to do is make the world better. >> important context here from sir elton. what he means by what

good morning to our viewers in the west. tuesday august 20th, 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead secretary of state mike pompeo in studio 57 talking with gayle about iran, china and other big issues. morning rounds, why so many kids take vitamins and other supplements when we don't know for sure if they help. note to self, why a prize winning chef makes a note to himself to ask for help. here is our eye-opener at 8:00. new information about jeffrey epstein's final days.

three more ald victims are suing his estate. >> one even alleges that epstein used his work release as a front for more sexual abuse. >> the garner family welcomes the long awaited accountability, and they say they are ready for fight pantaleo's appeal. >> we're told they are considering new tax cuts. white house officials are throwing cold water on a payroll tax cut telling us that's not something they are considering right now. >> the new rule means some low income women may not be getting discounted rates. in total planned parenthood turning down $60 million. >> the payoff, he struck him out. >> a big step in the push to return to the majors. he's been diagnosed with leukemia. >> the crowd gives him a standing ovation as he pitches for the first time since he stepped away from the field to battle blood cancer. >> this morning's eye-opener is

presented by toyota. let's go places. hard enough with that leukemia on top of it. we begin with three new lawsuits filed overnight by women claiming they were sexually abused and manipulated in their youth by accused sex trafficker jeffrey epstein. all three alleged victims, who wish to remain anonymous, say epstein forced them into sex acts. he promised to use his wealth and influence to help them but preyed on them sexually. epstein signed an updated will just two days before his suicide. the documents filed in the virgin islands where epstein had a home show onnet worth of $577 million, all of it placed into a trust. prosecutors dropped criminal charges against epstein following s ath but are looking into alleged co-conspirators. the u.s. is urging greece not to help an iranian oil tanker headed that way.

the ship could arrive in greece this coming weekend after it was released from detention after gibraltar sunday. greece said it received no request from the tanker to dock. the state department believes the oil is meant for syria and the sale would benefit iran's revolutionary guard where the u.s. calls a terrorist organization. iran's foreign minister accuses the u.s. of trying to bully other nations to stop buying iranian oil. iran claims the oil will not be delivered to syria. in the middle of these rising tensions between the u.s. and iran, we're lucky to have someone here who can talk about this and other big issues. secretary of state mike pompeo is with gayle. >> here at the table. thank you, anthony. secretary here, you were supposed to be there but even weather affects secretary of state. >> we made our way early this morning. >> we're glad you're here. there's a lot going on, tensions

in the strait of hormuz, hong kong, north korea testing short range missiles. we're going to start with isis because it's on the front page of the "new york times" where they say isis is regaining strength in iraq and syria. what's the reality of that from where you sit? >> president trump has been very focused on this. we executed a plan with 80 other countries to defeat isis. we were very successful. >> earlier this year you said isis was done and done. >> we always said the caliphate is gone, always a risk from resurgence. not just al qaeda but other radical islamic terrorist groups. president trump is very focused on making sure we apply the right resources against the problems everywhere to protect the homeland and keep the american people safe. we'll do that. >> is it gaining strength, in your opinion? >> it's complicated. there's certainly places where isis is more powerful today than they were three or four years ago but the caliphate is gone. their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more difficult. we've taken down significant

risk. not all of it but a significant amount. we're pleased with the work we've done. >> let's go to the strait of hormuz. top iranian officials, as you know, are getting tough, saying the united states to act with wisdom. another iranian official said grave consequences if the u.s. acts there. what's the situation in the strait of hormuz right now? the people are concerned, mr. secretary, that we're about to stumble into a war. >> the good news is we are acting with wisdom. it's wisdom to have withdrawn from jcpoa, which was going to put iran on the path to a nuclear weapon. president trump is determined not to let that happen. so we have conducted our middle east strategy and work with iran to say, no, you can't conduct assassination campaigns in new york, can't conduct terror efforts from all across the middle east. you're not going to build a nuclear weapons program. when we put in place a set of sanctions that denied iranian regime wealth and we can stee that is working. hezbollah has less money, some of the proxy have fewer resources, iranian resources

makes difficult choices to spend limited money. the previous administration wrote them a big check, sent across a pile of cash and opened up iranian economy so they could continue to grow their terror campaign. we'll never let that happen. >> we with drew the deal and not another deal in place. people are saying it's hurting the iranian people. >> iranian people know the terror campaign, revolutionary campaign their leaders are undertaking isn't in their best interest. i hope the iranian people work to change the behavior of the iranian regime. ultimately they will have to make that decision and we're very hopeful they will see a pathway clear where iran acts outside the normal course of what ordinary countries do and get this leadership to conform to what's best for iranian people. >> i know you can't give details but can you say if there are back channel talks right now? >> i just don't want to talk about it. >> i don't want details but are they going on. >> you shouldn't read anything into that.

i would say that if there were or weren't, we simply don't focus on that in this administration. >> hong kong, 11th straight week, extraordinary pictures from hokies. violent protests at the airport. now very peaceful but very big. more than 11 million people in the streets. does the trump administration support the protesters in hong kong. >> i think he captured it when he said we support democracy, we support liberty. we very much want to make sure those folks who have the desire in their hearts to protest, speak out on behalf of their own freedom, liberty can do so. they should do so in a peaceful way and the chinese government should respect their right to speak out in the way they are speaking. >> i heard him say he did not want to see a tiananmen square and this could affect trade talks in china. >> it's important to understand china needs to fulfill its promises. one of the challenges of the trade deal is that china lives

up to the commitments. hong kong, the chinese government made a promise. it has a central understanding there would be one country, two systems. they need to live up to that promise on behalf of people of hong kong. we hope they will do that we hope they will fulfill their promise not though militarize south china sea. this is about china living up to the commitments china made. >> north korea. when last we saw the president and kim jong-un, they were standing together in the demilitarized zone, the first time that has happened. we keep hearing there's going to be another summit. what are the talks? how are the talks going on that? do you trust kim jong-un. >> special representative who leads the negotiation effort on behalf of the united states is actually in the region today, tomorrow. i think he was there yesterday as well. we haven't gotten back to the table as quickly as we would have hoped but we've been pretty clear all along. we know there will be bumps along the way. >> they are testing short-term missiles. >> they have fired short range

ballistic missiles. >> does that concern you? >> yes. i wish they would not. in the end, chairman kim made a commitment to president trump in singapore where he said efgs prepared top denuclearization. our state department is prepared to deliver that on behalf of the american people, keep american people safe. if we do that, denuclearization north korea, the world -- i'll be at the u.n., u.n. sanctions putting boundaries what north korea can do. global sanctions regime and we hope chairman kim will come to the table and get a better outcome. it will be better for north korean people and better for the world. >> you were the cover story in new yorker, 121 pages devoted to you, secretary of trump. it takes evolution of you, mike pompeo, grew up in orange county. i was surprised to see ac/dc. >> my younger days. i still like them today.

>> you've bern called an old-fashioned american. your dog golden retrievers are named after generals. >> sherman and patton are the last two. >> sherman and patton. the point i'm making people that know you and love you and support you say this is a guy who loves his country. i think people are surprised to see the evolution of where you were in the beginning in 2016 when you supported marco rubio and at one point said it's time to turn the lights down on the donald trump campaign to now being closely aligned with donald trump. somebody says he actually gets donald trump. what is it you get about donald trump that others don't. >> he cares deeply about america. in the world i worked, i worked first as director of central intelligence agency, now as secretary of state, he wants to see the american people secure. he wants to grow our economy. he wants better lives for them. i see that. i've had lots of chances engage with him. >> you see it now. in the beginning, authoritarian, time to turn the lights out on the circus. i'm curious, because they say

about you, you are very patriotic. you get this country. the president is not always accused of telling the truth. he's very loose with his tweets. it seems to be opposite of how you run your life. >> i've enjoyed the privilege of working for president trump. the comments from back in 2016, it was a tough political campaign. when i'm on your team, i am all in, as i was. when my candidate left, i was all in for president trump then as well. i'm in for america today. >> you have a lot of support, mr. secretary. they say the state department moral is better under your watch. people feel good about what they do. you've got critics, one former american ambassador, who shall not be named, this is delicate, describes you like a heat seeking missile for trump's bottom, to use the other word. when you hear stuff like that, to compare how you are with this president, what do you think? >> i find it language offensive and i find the statement ludicrous. i work hard. i work hard for the president of

the united states who was constitutionally elected. he is my leader. my task is to share with him the best information. if we disagree, my duty is to share with him, our disagreements. i do that with great frequency. when he makes a decision, and it's legal, it is my task to go execute that with all the energy an power i have. >> if he wins a second term, will you continue to be secretary of state? there's calls for you to run for senate in kansas. i don't expect you to say, yes, i'm going to run here, gayle. if he wins again, will you be secretary of state. >> i would love to serve for him as long as i can. it's a great opportunity to be able to lead this organization, 70,000 plus great americans out there all across the world taking real risks for themselves and their families and delivering good, solid american diplomacy wherever you are. >> you don't have a nickname. he hasn't attacked you on twitter. so far so good. >> yes, ma'am. gayle, thank you. >> always good to see

in our "morning rounds," the debate over whether dietary supplements are healthy for our children. studies show almost one-third of american kids take nutritional supplements, the most popular a multivitamin, fish oil, melatonin, and probiotics. some experts cite a lack of evidence about the benefits and concerns about potential damage to vital organs like the heart and the liver. our dr. david agus is in los angeles. good morning. >> good morning, anthony. >> so why do -- why do some kids take these just to begin with? >> it's a great question. there is yet to be a study showing a benefit in a normal child to multivitamins or any of the supplements you just talked about. people take them to build muscle, people take them for brain development. people take them because they think they're nutritionally deficient. the parents say, my child isn't eating that well, let me give a multivitamin. yet, there is no data to support that. and large concentrations in these pills can be harmful. >> what are the risks then,

david? >> 23,000 emergency room visits on average from vitamins and supplements and a good fraction of those are in children. and so when you take large concentration, it can affect organs like the heart and the liver. when you take probiotics it can affect the normal bacteria in your g.i. tract. when you take some of the stimulants to build muscle you see cardiac arrhythmias. all of these are real issues. so parents, doctors have to stand up and say, hey, eat real food, the pill isn't going to make you do better on a test score. a pill won't help you make the varsity team. food will, exercise will, studying will. >> speaking of the varsity team as we head into another school year, there will be kids trying out for various sports. the question of supplements for energy or for muscle building, for weight gain, are those healthy? >> no. and they don't work. so clearly taking a pill isn't going to help. what will help is a good night's sleep. what will help is regularcy,

going to bed and getting up the same time. improves athletic performance. what will help is practice. and so you have to push your child. there's not a pill to get around the work it takes to succeed. >> under what circumstances should they be taking supplements? what questions should parents be asking the doctors? >> well, i think every parent needs to be really open and honest with the doctor about what supplements their child is taking. and that in most cases, ask the -- the doctors say, is there a benefit to my child, in almost all cases the answer is going to be no. children shouldn't be taking pills to go to sleep. melatonin hasn't been studied long term in children. it affects the endocrine system. it affects muscles. it -- it affects the immune system. we have to stop. >> all right. dr. david agus, thank you so much. parents will just have to keep up the fight to have kids eat the broccoli and finish the dinner plate. a fight i have nightly. ahead in "eye on money," the high price people pay for fertility. ♪ headin' to toyota's national clearance event. ♪

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring you some of the stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. we pick a story we like to slayer with each other and with all of you. tonightie? >> i had a -- tony? >> i had a stemwinder out of a coal area in kentucky. back in june the black jewel mining company went out of business. in july, workers found out they didn't get paid for their final week of work and the two weeks prior. the checks bounced. >> whoa. >> big problems. there was one train of coal that those workers had dug up that had not been shipped out before the company went out of business. when the company started moving in, the workers got in front of it. >> the train -- >> this was in july.

four weeks later, there's a tent city there, and they're holding that train hostage. >> look at that. >> asking for back pay. an incredible scene. the details are amazing. the local funeral home has donated tents for workers to live in. >> they're playing games. >> it's like a -- like a tailgate party on steroids is how one person described it. and what's even more interesting, they put partisan politics aside. there are people who are usually against coal mining for environmental reasons, there side by side with the miners hoping they get their money. bernie sanders' campaign, representative sent pizza over. i'm rooting for them. >> holding the coal hostage. >> i like the sign that said "no pay, we stay." >> yeah. >> if you work, you should get paid. >> that's right. i think i go next. of course, i can't find my sheet of paper. it's about steph curry. >> what's he doing? >> golf -- >> yes. golf. he's helping to launch a golf team at howard university. now this is the thing, he played golf when he was in high school. he's very good at it. very passionate.

and he decided that he's going to donate seven figures for the next six years. it's interesting he's not saying the price because he would like them to make enough money to set up an endowment. if you hear that he gave x amount of dollars, fill in the blank, people say i don't need to give anything. he's hoping it will encourage others to set this up at howard university. he became very touched because a student there who went to howard said that he could have gone to another school which he wanted -- he liked golf, but he chose howard even though they didn't have a golf team because he felt passionate about being to howard. and that impressed steph curry so much, he said "i'm going to do something." >> a division-one golf program. >> howard university. >> historically black college. >> very much so. both my parents went to howard. i have a soft spot for them. real special spot for steph curry. i think this is wonderful what he's doing. >> a great gesture. my story is the record-setting run -- reign i should say of old town road atop the billboard charts is finally over. >> a lot of people happy about this. >> here's the song that topped

jaw dropping. >> yes. absolutely. >> and on top of those sticker prices, there are even more underneath that. there are hidden costs. what are those? >> uh-huh. so they're various consultations, there are medication costs, so a lot of times when you're talking about the cost of a particular procedure, that's not taking into account all the medications that you have to pay for to prepare yourself for that procedure. if you're doing egg freezing, there's also egg storage which can cost up to $1,000 a year. there's various consultations if you have the means to talk to different fertility specialists. those may or may not be covered by your insurance. only -- excuse me, 60% of people have to pay out of pocket for all of these costs because they have no fertility coverage on their insurance. >> interesting to talk about means in this context. what people have is desire. i mean, to start a family. >> yeah. >> pay almost anything. you'll find a way. does insurance cover some of it? all of it? >> it depends definitely on the company and on the insurance policy. so like i said, 60% of people have to pay entirely out of pocket for fertility treatments. >> wow.

the different costs involved. we also worked with a place called extend fertility. i personally worked with them. they offer egg freezing at 40% below the national average. >> what is the national average? >> the national average i believe is -- so the number you quoted is probably for several treatments. so $11,000 is the national average for the actual retrieval procedure. but then there's also around if you don't have any insurance coverage, around $5,000 medication costs in addition to $1,000 a year. so i would recommend going to clinics like that who, you know, we had an excellent experience with them. do it for less. anthey're their are grants and scholarships -- and there are grants and scholarships. >> when do you know that you need to go down this road? what questions should you be asking? >> typically you are given a diagnosis of infertility, sort of a negative term we're trying to move away from at refinery 29, after a year of trying to conceive just three, you know, natural methods. >> the regular way. >> after that, it's typically time to seek fertility treatment. i would definitely recommend trying to educate yourself on
