actually worried? >> reporter: the economy has been one of the 2020. officials here originally denied these reports that the president was considering a payroll tax cut, and then just hours later, mr. trump admitted he is. >> i've been thinking about payroll taxes for a long time. whether or not we do it now or not, it's not being done because of recession. >> the president says he's not worried about a recession even as his administration is trying to figure out ways to prevent one. options include a payroll tax cut that would benefit most workers, or cut the capital gains taxes that would mostly help wealth investors. >> we are better today than the rest of the country. >> reporter: unemployment is at a 50-year low, but cracks are starting to show, including an industry the president has often bragged about revitalizing.

>> president trump was supposed to be going to denmark but he postponed that trip all of a sudden. what happened there? >> reporter: denmark is an ally and he was supposed to be going there, but then he started talking about buying greenland. as you might imagine, those comments didn't go well in greenland or in denmark. the danish prime minister said the idea was absurd. then the president abruptly said he wasn't going to make that trip to denmark. the royal family there who was going to be his host said that came as quite a surprise. the department of homeland security announced the plan that would allow border officials to detain migrants with children for longer days. the policy would overrule the flores agreement which requires most children trying to cross the border to be released with their families in 20 days. the presesident argued this poly

encourages migrant families to come to the border with their children. the new rules are expected to have no time limit for family detentions. this policy, like others, is likely to be challenged in court. our correspondents in the region have spoken to many migrant families who say they've been held in unsafe and unsanitary facilities. so far this year the federal government says more than 760,000 people seeking to enter the u.s. illegally have been apprehended along our southern border. >> we are learning at least three more people accused of making mass shooting threats are under arrest this morning. in the weeks after the deadly shootings in gilroy, california, el paso, texas and dayton, ohio, police have broken up plots in several states including, ohio, illinois and washington. why are more people reaching out to the police now?

>> reporter: people believe they are becoming less hesitant to report shooting behavior, so more active shooting behavior is being presented. they warn that any active threat will be taken seriously. newly released body cam video shows a 15-year-old being handcuffed in florida after posting unanimous online video game under a fake name that he vowed to bring his father's m-15 assault rifle to school and kill seven people at a minimum. >> he's a little boy. he didn't do anything wrong. yes, he's 15, but he's not one of the crazy people out there doing stuff. >> reporter: his mother claimed it was a joke, but he's still facing a felony charge. >> we don't know he's not going to be the next one to shoot people. >> and mcvicar is under arrest

ground for local terror attacks, like al qaeda and osama bin laden did before 9/11. which is why perhaps president trump's other demands, leaving u.s. intelligence agents on the ground in part to monitor isis, remains a key sticking point. speaking yesterday to gayle king, secretary of state mike pompeo said defeating the extremist group remains a top priority. >> is it gaining strength, in your opinion? >> it's complicated. there are certainly places where isis is more powerful today than they were three or four years ago, but the caliphate is gone, and their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more difficult. >> reporter: even if a deal is agreed, this isn't the end. a new phase of negotiations will begin in norway, this time between the taliban and the afghan government. but these negotiations may prove even more difficult, because these two warr ing sides will

have to figure out a way to live with each other in peace. gayle? the highest ranking catholic to be convicted of sexually abusing children lost his appeal in australia this morning. a court rejected arguments his conviction was unfair. back in march he was sentenced to six years in prison for abusing two choir boys in the 1990s. today the vatican said pell can still appeal to the highest court. we want to tell you about the newest fwtwist in the case a missing colorado mother. he is accused of killing kelsey barrett who disappeared on thanksgiving day last year. janet is following the story in cripple creek, colorado. janet, as i understand it, there were new documents filed in court? >> it indicates patrick frazee may point the finger to someone

bat where she couldn't see. >> after putting her in a plastic tote, he calls crystal to come and help him clean up. >> i think he's a very dangerous person. >> reporter: we spoke to kenney's close friend michelle stein in february who told us kenney feared for her life. >> she had very, very good reasoning for whatever it is she mayor m or may not have done. >> reporter: kenney said initially he asked her to kill the 29-year-old mother on three occasions, including suggesting poisoning bareth's coffee. >> i think he is a true narcissist. he's a master manipulator. >> reporter: he has admitted involvement in the case but not murder.

around 17,000 people, and many there are following the case closely and want more information released. >> i think that the authorities need to look into it more stronger, more better and let justice prevail, because it doesn't set a good precedent for anguilla. >> reporter: now, a toxicology report shows mitchell had drugs and alcohol in his system at the time of the alleged attack. hapgood's lawyer says they expect prosecutors to tell a judge in anguilla that they're not ready to formally present their case. hapgood asked for traveling expenses. that request was denied. jeffrey epstein's sex abuse ring spreads to new mexico. we'll show you his

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, august 21, 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead why the president is looking at new tax cuts to boost an economy that he says is doing just fine. plus, our series "american wonders" finds an artist who would not give up on his detroit neighborhood. he made it a must-see destination. and a few laughs with the host of this year's vmas, sebastian maniscalco, why his sister says he is crazy for taking the hosting gig. first, today's "eye opener." president trump trying to prevent an economic downturn as he rejects the idea that a

residen recession could be on the way. >> hours later mr. trump admitted he is considering a tax cut. authorities believe people are less hesitant to report, so more active shooter situations are being prevented. any threat will be taken seriously. this is the latest and possibly last round of talks between the taliban and the united states. documents indicate that patrick frazee may point the finger at someone else when he goes on trial. it may be his former girlfriend. it's difficult to trace these threats, but his legal team says they are concerned for his safety on that island. just a warning that today's video features baby shark, but it's so cute. ♪ baby shark do, do, do >> you have to admit this kid, the way he comes to life when the shark beat drops, is undeniably adorable.

>> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> you're welcome. that song is going to stay with you all day. this afternoon at 3:00 you will find yourself going -- >> better than coffee. >> better than coffee. it works, they say. i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. president trump calls the u.s. economy the best in the world and now he is looking at ways to help it stay out of trouble. the president said for the first time yesterday he is, in fact, considering a possible cut in payroll taxes. that would increase paychecks, but programs like social security and medicare would lose money. mr. trump insists there is no reason to worry about a recession. but a new report from jpmorgan says the trade war with china is costing the average u.s. house hold about $600 a year. that could rise to $1,000 if tariffs are put on another $300 billion in chinese goods next month. the president facing questions about back ag way from tougher gun laws. he spoke to nra chief wayne

lapierre on the phone yesterday before he told reporters, quote, we have very, very strong background checks now. administration officials tell cbs news there were lengthy meetings on possible legislative action that could be taken on guns. a wave of arrests of people who police say threaten to carry out mass shootings after this month's massacres in dayton and el paso. the suspects include a truck driver in indianapolis who allegedly threatened to shoot and stab people at a tennessee church, and a 15-year-old in florida accused of posting a mass shooting threat on a video game platform. cbs news senior national security analyst fran townsend was a homeland security and counterterrorism advisor for president george w. bush. good morning. these threats may be people being more observant and reporting more about possible threats out there. it's alarming, though, are we facing an epidemic here?

>> there is no question there is a rise in anti-semitism, racism. we are seeing attacks in the united states but also in europe. i think what we need to understand is many of the lessons learned about fighting international terrorism apply here domestically, right. you see something, you say something. so if it's a young person, it's your teacher, it's your classmates, if you are an older person, it's your spouse, it's your community, it's your employer. you have to encourage people. i think people now understand that they can play a role in ref preventing these. >> are there things missing in the u.s. t fight the domestic terrorism issue that law enforcement needs? >> well, no question, right, that we had all these authorities when we were fighting international terrorism that we thought do we really want to apply those here in the united states. i think there are privacy and civil liberties concerns, first amendment concerns. i think we have to get over that and understand that there is a balance, but we have got to give law enforcement the resources and the authority they need.

>> do we have to have another conversation about what it really looks like? many times people think of terrorists and they think from a foreign country, darker skin. these last arrests, these last three reported, the two yesterday, the mother was saying he is a little boy, he wouldn't think this way. they have all been white men. do we need to have a real conversation about what we're dealing withth here? >> let's be honest, gayle. i think when the terrorist is a white person, we tend to make excuses, right? >> say they are crazy. >> they're crazy, right, as opposed to saying if it was a muslim, they are a terrorist. we have to label this for what it is and we have to be honest and not make excuses. again when you look at the international plight, we used to look at what are the enablers. you take away their guns, their communications, you take away their ability to recruit. domestic terrorism isn't as hierarchal and organized in that way, there is responsibility both to take away their guns, right, and make that less accessible, to have social media

sites where they post hateful manifest owes. take those down and app notify law enforcement. >> that does law enforcement need that they don't have -- that they have in international cases but not domestically? >> this has do with surveillance capability, subpoena capability, all of that. i think they have begun to shift the resources because they see the increasing problem. i think at the federal level they have been slow to do that. at the local level where police officers are responding to these incidents, there has been a quicker shift. so i do think it's also a matter -- >> i'm struck by the mother with the little boy who said he is a little boy, he wouldn't do that, he is not crazy. the experts say there are specific warning signs >>ly right. they will post things on social media. they will say to classmates or to family members that they are going to get a gun, that they want to have a shooting, they want to kill people. those are the sorts of things we have to take seriously and have people reporting those. >> fran townsend, thank you very much. the first film project from

former president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama was released overnight on netflix. they relegal why they chose a documentary about factory workers. and a one-of-a-kind art project

neighborhood into a tourist destination. ♪ >> reporter: if a junkyard had a fever, it might look something like this. scattered in empty lots among the few remaining homes on this two-block stretch of heidelberg street, seemingly random objects that might make more sense inside those homes. making sense seems to be t last thing on the mind of tyree guyton. people would think it looks like a junkyard. >> yeah. >> reporter: that's okay with you? >> that's okay. >> reporter: he grew up on this street with three generations of his family through the rise and fall and now renaissance of the city around it. detroit. >> my grandfather, he was my best friend. i was 9 years of age when he

gave me a paint brush and told me to paint, and said that the world was my canvas. >> reporter: but that world imploded in 1967 when racial tensions and post-war urban decline sparked five days of deadly riots in their own backyard. >> i felt the world was coming to an end. the area was hit hard. >> reporter: so the riots and the aftermath led to the emptying out of this neighborhood? >> absolutely. >> reporter: and that's really driven you? >> yes. >> reporter: to bring people, bring the focus back? >> someone in to do it. why not me? i can see the ghosts of the people that usced to live here. >> reporter: they left behind the objects that once filled their lives. >> i decided to gather those things up and create this magic. >> reporter: you are making a statement with the things that are left behind are still valuable? >> absolutely. you make it valuable. >> reporter: valuable because today guyton's so-called

do you feel that your work has followed the rise and fall and rise of detroit? >> i definitely do. i think it is the greatest symbol. and as the city of detroit is kind of having this new life so to speak, so is the heidelberg project. >> reporter: ironically, that new life means dismantling some of the installations and moving them to galleries around the world. they have a proposal at city hall to turn this once blighted neighborhood into a vibrant artist's village with live/work studios, an arts academy and businesses that cater to them. they have even trademarked their own school of art. >> we call it heidelberg-ology. >> reporter: what is your definition? >> the study of found materials incorporated into the fabric and structure of an urban community and the effects on that community. >> reporter: you put this neighborhood on the map. now you want to take it to the

>> look at this video. it's a neurological disorder and it affects kittens. that's a baby panther, in particular. it's a bit of a mystery. there's cases, only about eight cases so far. but that still is worrying enough that they are putting out a broader call to see if it's something they can intervene. >> do you think they've been drugged? or do you think it's a physical problem? >> they don't know. >> that is disturbing. >> this is an animal that can move with the best of them. it is not moving. it's already endangered. >> it's very distressing to see those pictures. >> my story is a real milestone. for the first time, women will make up just over 50% of the college-educated labor force. >> woo hoo. >> this is a trend that's been going since 2007, at which point, women were receiving 57% of bachelors degrees. it's stayed that way since then. and it's breaking up the boys'

>> this is music. >> have you been studying? >> i have been studying. i found out who normani is. >> i'm going to be googling that. >> yeah. i'm diastolic a loing a lot of . i don't know the feuding, who has beef with who. but i'm finding that out. >> you're an actor, too. you won "green book," to "the irish man." i'm thinking, this has to be a memorable night for you. >> no. >> not so memorable? >> first i had to fight for a ticket. i received the ticket and it was

happened. >> how is the rehabilitation going? >> but the beauty of what you do, though, your comedy is so physical. you show and you tell. where did that style come from? that's half of the fun of watching you. you act it out. >> i can't help it. it happened at the kitchen table growing up, where we shared stories. it would be like this. and then, and this. that translated to the stage. i think, not only telling the story, but showing how it happened gives it a little extra flare. >> you're in another forthcoming -- a much-anticipated film, "the irishman." you play crazy joe gallo, a notorious new york mobster. how did you audition for that park? >> go to new york or send in from l.a. i came here to new york to do

that. they said, this is looking great for you. that's all you have to tell me is i'm a shoo-in, and i start unraveling. i would rather them tell me, you have to work for this. >> how did the audition go? >> audition was awful, in my eyes. they gave me another shot. take the notes and put it on tape and send it in. i sent it in, and that's the tape they ended up showing. >> look at the cast you're working with. >> unbelievable. if you had told me when i came from chicago to l.a., i would be in this movie with de niro, pesci. >> are you going to give us a hint of how you're going to open the show? i assume you're not going to sing and dance. >> i don't know if you know, i'm an unbelievable dancer. so, you might see a little bit of that. >> you have to teach me a thing
