calls the president mentioned but mr. trump says there's been communication at the highest level. the latest cbs gnaws poll finds the majority of americans believe president trump is responsible for the current state of the economy and 42% say his policies impact the economy a great deal and only 8% say his policies impact the economy not at all. paula, china is not in the g7 but seems to loom large there. why? >> reporter: president under pressure to prove that his talking strategy on trade is working. throughout the day he has insisted talks continue at the highest levels but other g7 leaders have used meetings with the president to express their concern about his approach. >> i think it's been really a productive g7. and coming to a close -- >> reporter: president trump tried to put a positive spin on his escalating trade war with china amid concerns from other world leaders that his approach is hurting the global economy.

>> i've gotten two calls, very, very good calls, very productive calls. they mean business. they want to be able to make a deal. a. >> reporter: but the white house has been saying for weeks china wants a deal but it is unclear if there's actually been any movement. china's foreign minister had a sobering take, sayaying only th china hopes the u.s. can come back to a path of rationality. >> one of the reasons china is a great country is they understand how life works. >> reporter: on friday the u.s. announced it would increase existing tariffs on china after it added retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion worth of u.s. imports sending stock markets into turmoil. >> china was going to overtake us. not going to happen. not going to happen any time when i'm here. >> reporter: the tension between the world's two largest economies has haunted the president throughout a summit that he hoped would project strength back at home. other world leaders have expressed concern about his approach. at one point even the president appeared to have misgivings.

>> do you have any second thoughts on escalating the trade war for china? >> yeah, for sure. might as well. might as well. >> you have second thoughts about escalating the -- >> i have second thoughts about everything. >> reporter: the white house insisted the remarks were tly misinterpreted. even one of mr. trump's closest allies british prime minister boris johnson urged him to alter his approach. >> but just to register a faint statement of our view on the trade war. >> reporter: president trump tried to pivot from the controversy surrounding china to more favorable trade news about a possible trade deal with japan where that country would buy a great deal of u.s. corn and wheat but it is likely the possible trade deal would need congressional approval, something the president has not been able to secure for his proposed trade deal with mexico and canada. gayle? >> a lot of layers here. we were talking about pivoting, seesawing, going back and forth, confusion.

so what comes next for the u.s. and china in this trade dispute, do you think? >> reporter: well, we know the markets, gayle, hate confusion. and wall street will be watching. the president insists negotiations continue between these countries. china had a much more sobering take, saying they don't necessarily want a deal. they just want to keep talking. white house officials confirmed to cbs news they expect a call with china this week and even an in person meeting next month in washington. in the short time the president will have a press conference. he is expected to be pressed on this and he knows u.s. markets will be watching. there will be enormous consequences not only for the global economy but also for his chances of re-election. >> can't wait to hear what he has to say. thank you, paula. we are all waiting for the president's news conference to begin. we will bring it to you in a cbs news special report. tropical storm dorian is barrelling toward the caribbean this morning. it could hit barbados tomorrow and puerto rico by late

wednesday. tropical storm watches and warnings have been issued ahead of the storm. our cbs news climate and weather contributor jeff berardelli is tracking dorian. is the storm on track to hit florida and what could the impact be for puerto rico? >> it is possible toward the end of the period maybe next weekend it could threaten florida but in the near term the lesser antilles and, yes, puerto rico. that is a look of the storm. big blow up of thunderstorms near the center. the storm is longer than last night. winds are 60 miles an hour moving fairly quickly at 14. tomorrow it will impact the lesser antilles winds 65 miles an hour. the big day for puerto rico is wednesday, could become a cat-1 hurricane. puerto rico is in the cone. and also on the stronger side, the eastern side of the system. so even if the winds aren't very strong the rain could be very strong. we could see potentially some bad flooding there. then the question is how much survives as it heads toward the state of florida and into the bahamas as we head into next weekend? a lot of the computer models agree with this general track. it has a lot of hoops to jump

through to get there intact but is something we need to watch closely. lastly, on the mainland, big line of showers and thunderstorms today. oklahoma and also missouri. severe weather. wind gusts up to 70 miles an hour. >> we'll be following it all. thank you, jeff. the wild fires burning in brazil became a major topic at the g7 summit. brazil's president says tens of thousands of troops are being mobilized to help battle the flames. his government has called for looser environmental regulations in the rain forest in an effort to spur development. manuel bojorquez is in rio branco, brazil. >> reporter: this huge field i'm standing in went up in about just a half hour yesterday. here we are in the rain forest and this morning it has done something it hasn't in a while. it has actually rained. don't let that fool you. the fact that the flames has spread so quickly in many of these parts is a clear indication we are in the midst of a dry season, which could

last for months. this is what parts of the amazon look like. smoke thick enough to nearly shield the sun as flames ravage the forest beneath. these were small flames like this just a few minutes ago on the side of the road. but just take a look at how quickly this fire has spread. it is devouring the shrubbery here but also the taller trees. and there are power lines in the distance as well. nearly 10,000 new fires have been reported in a little over a week. ma many are believed to be intentionally set by farmers clearing land. jarlene gomes is a researcher who promotes sustainable farming. what is making this year so much worse? >> translator: this year we have more devastation, more deforestation, so the live stock can come, so they have to take this mass and do something with that and the easiest way is to burn it. >> reporter: brazil's president is sending the army to help

battle the flames but only after facing pressure from critics of his policies, which have relaxed environmental laws while promoting economic expansion in the forest. do you think we're at the tipping point where the amazon may not be able to recover? >> translator: we think the risk is too big. i mean, it's too great to take on because when fire hits the forest we have no way to control it. >> reporter: there is some help from the u.s. next door to brazil and bolivia, this 747 super tanker that can hold up to roughly 19,000 gallons of water per trip. back in brazil, the fires are also threatening homes. desperation drove this family to use a pail of water as they waited for a pump to start pushing water through a hose. >> he says he just started on that side and came over here and it looks like they're trying their best just to keep it away from their houses. their efforts only highlighting

how unstoppable the flames can be. as things continue to smolder here is what's at stake for everyone. the amazon produces a substantial amount of the world's oxygen. it also stores carbon monoxide, which can heat the atmosphere. scientists are afraid that balance could be changing, speeding up climate change. >> manuel bojorquez in brazil, thank you. the violence in hong kong entered a dangerous new phase as pro dploks demonstrators entered their 12th week. protesters and police clashed repeatedly over the weekend. ramy inocencio was in hong kong and has been reporting on the protests since they started. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. last night we saw the most aggressive violence in weeks right here. protesters threw bricks and molotov cocktails trying to provoke the police and they did. beaten and chased by a mob of protesters, police fired the first shot of these protests.

a warning into the air, saying later they felt their lives were in danger. >> they're pointing guns. >> reporter: hand guns drawn they pushed back the crowd and kicked an older man on his knees who begged them not to shoot. also new to the street, two water cannons deployed to the residential district where protesters and police clashed in a close stand-off for hours. now that the water cannons have hit the streets, protesters have fled into the alleys all around us. after nightfall groups of masked protesters once again used the subways to fan out quickly attacking and retreating before police could arrive. they smashed toll booths at a cross harbor tunnel, destroyed shops thought to be owned by china-linked gangs, and blocked major roads. authorities seemed unable or unwilling to stop the violence. the latest chaos in this once stable asian financial hub that shows no signs of stopping.

police say they arrested three dozen people last night. the youngest, just 12 years old. pro beijing legislators have said the violence is now life threatening and many fear people could dye. that is adding to fears beijing could deploy troops to pacify this city. >> things seem to be getting worse. thank you. federal investigators are looking into a plane crash in southern california involving a c-130 cargo plane. the plane was making an emergency landing at the santa barbara airport sunday night when it crashed and caught fire. initial reports say the plane experienced hydraulic problems shortly after take-off from santa maria airport. none of seven people onboard was hurt. an airport spokesman says this was a privately operated aircraft. shooting scares at multiple malls across california sent shoppers into panic over the weekend. there were fears of an active shooter at malls in los angeles, san jose, and modesto yesterday. all turned out to be false

alarms. at the mall in los angeles reports of a shooting prompted shoppers to run and hide. >> close the door. close the door. >> i'm scared. >> reporter: shoppers took shelter inside bathrooms and stores. what a scary sight. police turned out the incident turned out to be a smash and grab jewelry robbery and two people were arrested. in a separate incident outside san jose at the great mall of the bay area, after reports of shots fired there. police ultimately found no evidence of a shooting. there were also reports of gunshots at the mall in modesto. several people were hurt as shoppers ran from the mall. that incident also turned out to be a robbery. no arrests were made in the case. harvey weinstein pleaded not guilty to a new indictment minutes ago in connection with his rape and sex assault case. weinstein went to court this morning in new york city where he is due to go on trial next month. the hearing may also consider whether actress and bella sykora

completely fabricated. >> reporter: the homicide bureau captain says much of deputy angel reinosa's story to police just did not add up. >> much of his statement was self-serving, didn't make a lot of sense. >> reporter: he radioed for help on wednesday from the police station parking lot, saying that he had been shot by a sniper. >> i think it's in the apartment window. multiple windows open. i don't know where the shots came from. >> reporter: s.w.a.t. teams went door to door evacuating people from the building while others sheltered in place. police also searched the area with a helicopter. >> when a police officer says he's been shot or shot at, we respond in force. there was a large perimeter to protect this area because we didn't know where this armed gunman was. >> my family went outside the house. i had to stay at may hom's house because they weren't letting

anybody in and out. >> reporter: investigators say he later admitted the story was not true. they found no visible wounds though he did have holes in his shirt from a bullet he said had grazed him. he later admitted according to police he cut the holes himself. assistant sheriff robin limon. >> it is extremely disappointing. our deputy sheriffs are held to a higher standard and unfortunately in this case he did not act to that standard. >> reporter: so he had only been a deputy with the l.a. county sheriff's department for a year. the l.a. sheriff's union tells cbs news reinosa's actions jeopardized trust. if you want to know how the deputies feel in lancaster they posted on their facebook page five words. angry, embarrassed, furious, unbelievable, and ashamed. >> you can tell. they were very put out about it. it makes you wonder, david, how he thought he could get away it. it is so elaborate, calling in the 911 call, sounding out of breath, finding out he just punched holes in his shirt. >> the mayor of lancaster told "the l.a. times" the mayor

was told by the sheriff's department that the deputy was having a really rough first year. it is a probationary period before you become a full fledged deputy. so why he may have acted out like that, it sounded strange from the very beginning. it was like a sniper? randomly going after a deputy? >> he is 21. he doesn't have to worry about the stress of that job anymore. thank you, david. a possible record-setting decision is expected today in a landmark opioid case. ahead how it could cost a drug maker billions of dollars and influence similar cases on good monday morning to you. we're starting off the day with low clouds and areas of fog and parts along the bay we'll have that clearing as we head through the afternoon. temps heating up to above average and even warmer than yesterday. 97 in concord, fairfield. 96 in livermore. 90 for san jose, 81 in oakland and 74 for san francisco. higher humidity comes back tuesday and for wednesday. we're looking at temps a little bit cooler

multiple defendants. purdue pharma and teva pharmaceuticals settled out of court for $355 million we're about to go to france where president trump and emmanuel macron have just entered. here we go. >> we have been discussing for two days now. i'd like to thank president trump and all the heads of state and government present here for the extremely productive work and to very productive discussions that we've had since

saturday evening together. there was a lot of nervousness at the outset. a lot of expectations, a lot of tensions. we had a lot of conflicts. i with say what we're really keen on was to convey positive and joint message following our discussions. discussions on several topics. you will get a one page declaration. it's just one page. a one page that covers some of the key items that were addressed. we have decided to hold this joint conference. i'm going to give the floor to

president trump and the first lady will proceed with their own press conference to the american press where other discussions will take place. i wanted to sum up the different items on which we have agreed and the topics on which we have made headway. we wanted to hold this joint conference together because next year social security the united states of america that will host the g7 summit and we are going to pass the baton onto president trump. for the last two days we have worked a lot together on several common points. we have a lot of things in common but one thing we have in common is we don't like to waste our time and we like to achieve concrete results and to provide

momentum to the work and as soon as president trump arrived with the one to one lunch that we had together and i think it was most productive and interesting conversations we've had together and from that point onward we set the pace and kept the ball rolling to be a as efficient as possible to till the very end. there are a few things that are expected from both our countries. as far as iran is concerned, president trump and myself had discussions in the last few weeks and particularly the last couple of days and we agreed that iran needs to comply with its nuclear obligations and have responsible behavior and work with us. there are two very things that matter to us. iran should never have nuclear weapon and it should not threaten the stability of the region. france has taken a lot of different initiatives and i've

informed to president trump on them to be able to get the technical means to move forward. the decisions that the u.s. take in the last few months have put a lot of pressure and put us in the situation where it's necessary to improve the security situation of the region. we coordinated our efforts and we reached the decision to bring together the foreign ministers, foreign minister of iran. had a meeting with the french foreign minister and a road map has sort of been set but nothing is absolutely set in stone and we will have to move ahead together to find an outcome. this morning the president said he was prepared to meet any leader in the interest of his country.

this is what i mentioned on the phone that if he would grow a meeting with president trump that my conviction was an agreement could be met. we know the terms. we know the objectives. we have to sit around the table and make that happen. i hope in next few weeks based on our discussions we will be able to achieve the meeting that we just mentioned. i think that this meeting is very important and it allows a few days have clarify to the situation a lot of messages have been conveyed. a lot worvk has been done betwen our ministers. i would like to thank our ministers who have been totally involved in these discussions and have set the stage for these

discussions and for an agreement. i want to be very cautious and very modest but i think this is going to lead to bring an end to escalation and reaching a suitable solution. the discussions we had on saturday afternoon and dinner have been very fruitful and our purpose is to ensure the stability of the region. the idea is that to make sure iran doesn't get the nuclear weapon and have more visibility in the long term. as far as trade is concerned we sha shared a lot of analysis. i think we can say that our discussions have clarified what is legitimate and what the united states feels is an unfair situation. we have international rules that

govern international trade. in this one page document we said it is very good to have a single organization that governs international trade but so far this collective body hasn't been efficient in raising trade barriers. it's not been beneficial enough in protecting the intellectual properties of our industries. discussions are under way, currently, in particularly between president trump and president xi. we have seen even in just the recent very recent past an agreement can be reached. we want to reaffirm our desire to change the rules that govern international trade and to revamp them so that no one is dealt with unfairly. the situation of the past is put

to an end. this is something fwhewe need t work on together. there was a lot of nervousness because of misunderstanding and very powerful economic players that said what about this digital tax that france imposed. we have reached a very good agreement and once again the solid work that's been done has really helped us to make progress. in our economies we have very unfair situations where some players don't pay taxes. there's unfair compositietition other players. it's these large share multi-national players that don't pay taxes that lead to significant instability in economic front. is this fair? it is not fair. of course we're pushing for international rules on this. at the european level to ten countries and france, italy and even the uk is getting ready to

do so. it's decided to do something at the national level. it's not against any company in particular. it's just to solve the problem. a lot of french companies will also be impacted by this tax. some of you have probably heard me say a few months ago that this is only to find a solution and the aim ultimately is to find an agreement internationally by 2020 to revamp international tax systems within the frame work of the oecd. to combat harmful trade practices which are also harmful to the u.s. economy and through this digital tax, on this digital tax we worked a lot financially as well and we have provision agreement to overcome the hurdles. we're going the work on a bilateral and multi-lateral basis to find a solution

together. the day international tax exists on digital services, france will do away with its national tax. everything that is being paid under the french tax system will be reimbursed. the idea is that we need to find a joint agreement in order to address joint international problems and the solution is very negative and the international tax system needs to be modernized. i think we will work together in the spirit of cooperation on this. as to libya, syria, north korea, hong kong, you will see in the one page document that we have made considerable headway in the spirit of unity and we have also reached -- done some significant work as far as the amazon region is concerned.

there's been operations and we have taken a very ambitious initiative that was presented this morning after having discussed with all the heads of states of the region as we had reached and as president trump has reached as well. i don't want to go into the details but i wanted to highlight these few things i just mentioned and i wanted to say we work together hand in hand with president trump over these two days and during this g7. i would like to thank all my colleagues for this. we have managed to reach convergence at unprecedented levels on several issues. we'll continue this work many the weeks and months follow with a lot of energy and north korea knows how strongly president trump is committed to this issue. there's also the agreement of china and we're going to work hand in hand on all the

different issues. i would like to thank you, president trump, for your involvement for the last couple of days. i would like to thank your first lady who is by your side and very active side by side with my n spouse. she's northehonored us in our c. she knows how popular she is in our country. president trump will be hosting the g7 summit next year. i'll give him the floor so he can tell us how you intend to organize the g7 and i will be there by your side with the same will and the same determination and the same desire for unity. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you. well, i want to thank you very much. i think more importantly than anything i wanted to come up here to say that because the job that president macron and your wife who are is great lady, bridgette, would like to thank

bridgette. she's been spectacular. spent a tremendous amount of time with melania and some of the wives that came in. they had a great tour of the area and it's a beautiful area. i want to thank you very much mr. president for the incredible job you did. this is a truly successful g7. there was tremendous unity. it was great unity. sometimes i read a bit of false reporting. i will tell you there was -- we would have stayed for another hour. nobody wanted to leave. we were accomplishing a lot. i think more importantly we were getting along very well. seven countries and it really was a g7. you have been a spectacular leader on this. i want to thank you and the great country of france. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> thank you.

>> i just wanted to say we'll take two questions from each side. i will say good-bye to my friend president trump. i will leave the room in order for you to follow up. >> we could do two each and we both leave the room. would you prefer that? i don't want to have the president of france standing here while i'm answering these absolutely wonderful questions. why don't we start with a question for france. >> just four questions about g7 and u.s.-france relations. >> emmanuel will have his own press conference after this. >> exactly. >> that will be fine. go ahead. to france. >> china was not on the official agenda but it was a big part of the discussions here at the g7. are you concerned that the trade

war that exists now between the united states and china could harm the global economy? if you are did you talk to president trump about that? are you also at the same time concerned that if china's current trade practices go unchecked that a decade from now we woucould be in a very terrib situation. >> we obviously have lengthy discussions. during the session on the world economy yesterday morning on both subjects. the discussions under way between china and the united states of america, obviously, as we clearly see create uncertainty which disturb markets and investors and during the negotiations will create tensions which is the case of any discussion. we saw this on different stock markets. now the question is to know what the result of this discussions

will be. that's why we considered it was so important an agreement be found between the two greatest economic powers in the world. president trump clearly showed us his willingness to arrive at an agreement. we saw a few hours ago the positive and encouraging message. our deep wish is for an agreement to be found between the united states and china concerning trade because i think that would be something positive for every one. neither the united states nor china is economically or industrially naive. it has to be a balance agreement that will be good for every one and we will be vigilant to see it's good for the whole world. in that context our different parameters will be taken on board and that was one of the subjects of our discussion. what's bad for the world economy is uncertainty and the quicker an agreement is arrived at, the

quicker that uncertainty will dissipate. that's what we discussed yesterday. that's the american president's wish. in terms of trade practices, i said this earlier, for me the most effective way forward and the most strategic way in settling our trade relations with china is to develop trade but also to ensure that that trade is part of international trade rules. the problems we sometimes have we're very familiar with this with the chinese economy. major economy where there's been lots of investing from the yi , united states, european countries. the problem is intellectual property, dealing with excess capacity which sometimes unbalances some world markets and the ability to deal rapidly

with con fliflicts we may have unfair situations. we're obliged to see when this type of trade happens outside of the world, things don't work well and we're not properly preked. when you follow wto rule, they haven't allowed us to be protected. what we decided yesterday morning was to accelerate with a very realistic agenda and disable to change the rules of world trade so every one can have free and fair trade, balanced trade and the subject i just mentioned which have sometimes before bad for our economies can be settled in an international frame of which we wish profoundedly to change. we and our different ministers will share these political goals. the way of dealing with the practice certainly the positive agreement that will be arrived

at also the renewal of international trade rules as we said yesterday morning. >> president trump, are you satisfied with how pfar the proposed wto rules will go? >> i'm not we're getting there. >> do you believe that china is sincere about what it said this morning? >> yes. >> or do you think they are just trying to calm the markets and play for time? our sister network, fox news, has been told by chinese sources they have no plans ongoing back to where they were in terms of negotiations this spring on intellectual property. >> we'll see, john. >> do you trust they are sincere? >> i do. i think they want to make a deal very badly. i think that was elevated last night, very late in the night. i see an alert, or you would call it breaking news. it was the vice chairman of

china came out that he wants to see a deal made. he wants it to be made under calm conditions. using the word calm. i agree with him on that. china has taken a very hard hit over the last number of months. they have lost three million jobs and it will soon be much more than three million jobs. their chain is breaking up like nobody's seen before and once that happens it's very hard to put it back together. i think they want to make a deal and the longer they way, the harder it is to put it back. if it can be put back at all. i believe they want to do a deal. the tariffs have hit them very hard in a fairly short period of time. the united states will have collected over $100 billion in tariffs and i say it again. reporters fail to -- the media fail to knowledge it but if you look at goods coming in from china. we're talking about china, not

other countries. they have a power that others don't have but that power is only good for so long. they've ma mnipulated their currency, they've devalued their currency and put a lot of cash into the system. the prices have not gone up or they've gone up and it's been very little. if the prices go up, they're not going to keep people working. it's a brilliant market. it's a brilliant market. a lot of markets are brilliant. frankly, i think that china cannot -- i don't know. maybe they can. i don't think they can do that. i think they are very smart. i think president xi is great leader who happens to be a brilliant man and he can't lose three million jobs in a very short period of time and that's got to be magnified many times over. it's going to break down the chinese system of trade and he can't do that. when you say do you think they want to, maybe they want to and maybe they don't.

i think they want to make a deal. i'm not sure they have a choice. i don't say that as a threat. i don't think they have a choice. the yiunited states which has never collected ten cents from china will be over $100 billion in tariffs. i think they want to make a deal very badly. >> mr. president you've just declared you created the conditions for a meeting between president trump and president rhahni. does that mean france will be a immediatuate ua mediator and what did you discuss? and a question for mr. trump. are you ready to soften sanctions on iranian oil

exports. >> an agreement was signed in 2015. that agreement set part guarantees for the international community including the cig a signatories. i'm simplifying this. in exchange for reopening many economic sectors and massive investment largely made by the united states. that agreement had a twofold advantage. stability and security and also reopening economic which was good for iran. this agreement had draw backs and shortcomings.

french negotiators in 2015 was the most determined and france was the most eager to sign. president trump during his campaign made a commitment to those who voted for him to be more demanding and tougher because he considered this agreement wasn't sufficient which causes him to leave it. today because of the sanctions made by president trump, he ran an economy is having serious consequences and a serious slowdown. that situation very clearly is the aspect, we might say the positive side of things from one standpoint is creating pressure and the necessary conditions to improve the terms of an agreement. on the other hand it's leading to reaction to iran where we're saying we signed this agreement but those who have signed it are not respecting its terms and

we're starting to enrich r uranium. given the two goals we have, where are we going? we need to ensure iran will never get a nuclear weapon. we discussed to see how we could improve very considerably or build a new nuclear agreement with iran. president trump was very clear saying that we would need a much longer time frame for it. there needed to be surveillance of many more sides and this is how we can build a much further region agreement in terms of our security demands. on the other hand, we need to convince the iranians to go in that direction and we can do that if we give them economic composition of some form.

i can't tell you today, publicly, more about this because anything i will tell you in detail will jeopardize the conversations we're going to have. this is what we're discussing on the basis of our initiative there's also a japanese initiative. i'm talking total transparency with the president. i want us to go further in this frame work and make proposals. at a given point there will have to be a meeting between the americans and the president. i would wish such a meeting take place. france will play a role together with the other csignatories. after that we'll need to create the necessary conditions because we'll have the necessary visibility for this agreement to be signed and sealed and for this meeting of the two presidents to take place. i would rather talk about concerted initiatives rather than mediation. at the end of the day we have

constant exchanges with president trump. i share his goals. sometimes we don't agree on and i think there's been a true change. this morning, president rouhani shows himself open to this meeting happen. president trump husband been demanding, tough, but he is willing to have a meeting to make deal. i want this meeting to happen and i want there to be an agreement between the united states and iran, a frae will play the role it's meant to play together with the united kingdom, with germany, and all of the other signatory powers and the permanent members of the security council. >> iran is a country that is not the same country that it was two and a half years ago when i came into office. iran was the number one state of terror throughout the world. there were 18 sites of confliction in my first week. when i spoke with the folks at the pentagon, including lots of

generals and lots of other military experts. 18 sites of confliction, meaning 18 sites of big problems. every one of them was backed by iran. or in some cases actually using iranian soldiers, but at a minim minimum, iranian wealth. much of it given in the rid ridiculous deal where they were giving $150 billion plus $1.8 billion in cash, and they used that money for some bad purposes. with that being said, i think that iran is a country of tremendous potential. we're not looking for leadership change. we're not looking for that kind of change. this country has been through that many times before. that doesn't work. we're looking for no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles, and a longer period of time, very simple. we could have it done in a very short period of time. and i really believe that iran can be a great nation. i would like to see that happen. but they can't have nuclear weapons.

okay. thank you. excuse me? if the circumstances were correct or right, i would agree to that. but in the meantime, they have to be good players. you understand what that means. and they can't do what they were saying they're going to do because if they do that, they're going to be met with really very violent force. have no choice. so i think they're going to be good. i really think they would like to -- and by the way, president macron told me every step he was making yesterday. a lot of you said oh, he came in. he told me long before he came in what was happening. i didn't think it was appropriate to meet yesterday. too soon. and things have to be worked out first, but president macron told me exactly what was happening, who was coming, what time they were coming, where they were going to meet. and after the meeting, he told me exactly what happened. i think he had a very positive meeting. prime minister abe of japan,

also a large purchaser of oil from iran, he was also very much involved. and you know, he knows everybody there. so he was a very positive force. but i have to tell you, the president has done an excellent job, and we're going to see how it all turns out. maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. i say it all the time about everything. maybe it works and maybe it doesn't. i tell you what, we made a ridiculous deal. we gave them $150 billion, $1.8 billion, and we got nothing. nothing. by the way, that agreement was so short-term that it expires in a very short period of time, with a country, you don't make a deal that short. countries last for long times. and you don't do short-term deals especially when you're paying that kind of money. so i have good feelings about iran. i have good feelings that it will work. i know many iranians living in new york city, have many friends from iran. they're incredible people. incredible people. so the last thing i would like

to see is a big problem, but we have to do what we have to do. okay. go ahead please. no, no. you first. no, no. go ahead. yes. >> thank you. president macron, did you seek president trump's permission before you invited foreign minister zarif, or did you simply inform him he was coming? >> thanks for this very precise question. to be very clear, and we are part of the jcpoa. we decided to remain. so we are very much interested by the situation as a sovereign country. that's why we want the different parties to move. on the other side, as president trump made it very clear over the summer, we never spoke on behalf of other countries. we just tried, tested some solutions and to see if we can

find an agreement with different countries. so we took in initiatives this summer to make a proposal, a technical one. i got reaction from iran, where president zarif visits on friday morning in paris. after the discussion we had at the g7 dinner on saturday evening, i thought that it was very clear about where we can go together. so the day after, i decided to invite as friends minister zarif. so i informed before making it, i informed president trump that it was my idea. not to involve the united states, not to say this is on behalf of you, of everybody, but to say as france, i think it would be a good idea to ask him to go back and try to negotiate something. so i did it on my own. i informed before making it

president trump, he was informed. about the situation, and the idea for me was in case of structural move and important move, appropriate solutions perhaps to have meetings between ministers, not as president trump's level, because president trump's level is president rouhani. so this is my -- this is a french initiative, but made by a clear information of the u.s. president before. information as well of the three europeans, and each time i informed president trump in order to monitor the situation and appreciate together it's something more were adapted. >> i have to say, the jcpoa was a bad deal. should not have been entered

into. a lot of things could have happened that would have been much different. they're allowed to test ballistic missiles. you're not allowed to go to various sites to check. and some of those sites are the most obvious sites for the creation or the making of nuclear weapons. and those things have to be changed. and other things have to be changed. and i will tell you, i have very good feelings about it. i think that we're going to do something. it may not be immediately, but i think ultimately, we're going to do something. as i said, iran is a much different country than it was 2 1/2 years ago. and we can get that back. and i would encourage it. i actually have friends years ago, many years ago, they were in the real estate business, and they were in iran. they were building houses and building housing, and building office buildings and apartment houses. and they did very well. they made a lot of money, and to this day, they're not exactly

the youngest developers anymore, but i tell you, they were young when they went over there. they made a lot of money and loved the people and loved what was going on. and it's a country with tremendous potential. i also say that, by the way, with respect to north korea. kim jong-un, who i have gotten to know extremely well, first lady has gotten to know kim jong-un and i think she would agree with me, he's a man with a country that has tremendous potential. they're in between china, russia, and south korea. people want to get to south korea, they have to get there somehow. and if they're going to do anything other than essentially fly, they want to go through. so railroads and everything else. so many things want to happen there. i think that north korea has tremendous economic potential. and i think that kim jong-un sees that. he would be the leader, and i thing he sees the tremendous

potential it's got. with respect to iran, same thing. iran is incredible people. and incredible country potentially. location that's a little rough neighborhood, but eventually it's going to be a beautiful neighborhood. i think that it's going to be -- i think it's going to work out. and i really believe that those countries that went into the original deal, that more and more are agreeing with what i did. but i think those countries are going to be saying thank you some day. i hope they're going to be saying it, including france, including the president, because i think we did the right thing. i know we did the right thing. if for no other reason, it's just too short. it's almost expiring if you think about it. and somebody said, well, you'll go and make an extension. no, no. they're great negotiators. look what they did to get the deal. look at what they did to john kerry and to president obama. look what happened. where they're bringing plane loads of cash. plane loads, big planes.

757s. boeing 757s coming in loaded up with cash. what kind of a deal with that? so i think a lot of good things are going to happen, and i just want to say this because i have spoken a lot with the president this last two and a half days. we have never had a better relationship. we had a lunch that lasted for quite a while that many of you got to see. it was the two of us, no staff, no anything. he wasn't trying to impress his ople, wasn't trying to impress his people. we were just trying to impress each other. and i'll tell you what, it was the best period of time we have ever had. and we accomplished a lot. i don't mean just gee whiz, wasn't that nice? he's a very capable man, doing a great job for france. he did an incredible job for the g7, and i just want to thank you. and you go ahead to your news conference, and very special. this was a very special, very

unified two and a half days. i want to thank you for it. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you. i will leave the floor to president trump and i will wait for the end of your own press conference. >> translator: i want to give anything away, but we saw your wife, the first lady, drink a glass of french wine yesterday. so can you perhaps give up on your threat to put sanctions on french wine? because if we have understood correctly, you have arrived at an agreement on taxing digital firms. could you confirm there has been an agreement between you and france on taxing digital firms.

>> i can confirm that the first lady loved your french wine. okay. all right. she loved your french wine. so thank you very much. that's fine. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i will wait for the end of this press conference to have the press conference. thank you. >> this is worse than you are. i can't believe it. jonathan. >> come on up. let's go. >> mr. president, can i just ask a question since i didn't get to ask you one directly? on china, you have recently been saying china wants to make a deal, but that you are not necessarily ready for a deal. >> we'll start now. please sit down. thank you. thank you. please sit down.

>> you have recently -- >> you have recently been saying china wants a deal but you're not necessarily ready for a deal and you like the tariff revenue that is coming in. are you now ready to make a deal? >> only if it's a fair deal for the united states. otherwise, i will not make a deal. we have billions and billions coming in. and i think we're going to get there. i do. i believe it more strongly now than i would have believed it a while ago. we're going to get there, and we're going to have a really -- we're going to have a fair deal. remember this, when you say fair, china's been taking out of this country $500 billion plus a year for many, many yers. many, many years. it was time to stop. as a private person, i used to talk about it. it's one of the reasons i'm president. and we're in a great position. our country is doing well. our unemployment numbers are the lowest they have been in over 50 years. our unemployment numbers for african-american, asian, for

hispanic, are the best they have ever been. historic numbers. we're in a very strong position. our consumers are strong. walmart just announced numbers that were, i mean, mind boggling numbers. that's a great poll there, the ultimate poll, how the retailer is doing and how certain companies are doing. so we're doing very well. and i think that we're going to make a deal with china, and i think we'll probably eventually make a deal with iran too. >> why are you optimistic they'll change their behavior? >> not a question of behavior. i think they want to make a deal and they should make a deal and if they don't make a deal, it's going to be very bad for china. and i very much appreciate the fact that they came out last night, very late last night, and they said, you know, they want to make a deal. they want it to be under calm circumstances. it was a little different kind of a statement. i thought it was a beautiful statement. it indicated a lot. go ahead. here we go. >> i actually have a question for you on next year's g7, but can i clarify something you said

if you mentioned earlier today -- >> one question. >> let me do the clarification and then the question. >> no, no, one question. >> you talked about calls with china and a breaking news alert. i'm trying to understand what specifically you heard from china, and next year's g7, you dropped several hints about miami, doral, and hosting next year's g7 at your property. what reashurnassurances can you to the american people that you are not looking to profit off the presidency? >> i have spent, and i will in opportunity probably it will cost me anywhere from $3 billion to $5 billion to be president, and the only thing i care about is this country. couldn't care less. otherwise i wouldn't have done it. people have asked mead, what do you think it costs? and between opportunity, not doing things. i used to get a lot of money to make speeches. now i make speeches all the time. you know what i get? zippo. and that's good. i don't want to do these jobs because the deals i'm making are

great deals for the country. that's to me much more important. doral happens to be within miami. it's a city. it's a wonderful place. it's a very, very successful area of florida. it's very importantly only five minutes from the airport. the airport is right next door. it's a big international airport. one of the biggest in the world. everybody that's coming, all these people with all of their big entourages come. it's set up -- and by the way, my people looked at 12 sites. all good. but some were two hours from an airport. some were four hours. they were so far away. some didn't allow this or they didn't allow that. with doral, we have a series of magnificent buildings. we call them bungalows. they each hold from 50 to 70 very luxurious rooms with magnificent views. we have incredible conference rooms, incredible restaurants. it's like such a natural. we wouldn't even have to do the work they did here, and they

have done a beautiful job. they have really done a beautiful job. and what we have also is miami. and we have many hundreds of acres, so that in terms of parking, in terms of all of the things that you need, the ballrooms are among the biggest in florida. and the best. it's brand-new. and they want -- my people wanted it. from my standpoint, i'm not going to make any money. in my opinion, i'm not going to make money. i don't want to make money. if i cared about making money, i wouldn't worry about $3 billion to $5 billion. at some point, i'm going to detail that and we'll show. but i think it's just a great place to be. i think having it in miami is fantastic. really fantastic. having it at that particular place because of the way it's set up. each country can have their own villa or their own bungalow. and the bungalows, whether i say they have a lot of units, i think it works out well. and when my people came back, they took tours, went to

different places. i won't mention places but you'll have a list. they went to places all over the country and they came back and said this is where we would like to be. we had military people doing it, we had secret service people doing it, people who really understand what it'suct. it's not about me. it's about getting the right location. i think it's very important. jonathan. >> not about you trying to boost your own brand? >> not a all. jonathan. >> president macron said he would like to see talks between you and president rouhani within weeks. does that sound realistic to you? >> it does. >> could you see yourself in talks with iranians within weeks? >> i don't know the gentleman. i think i know him a little bit by watching over the last couple years what's happened. he's a great negotiator. but i think he's going to want to meet. i think iran wants to get the situation straightened out. now, is that based on fact or based on gut? that's based on gut. but they want to get their situation straightened out, jonathan, and they're really

hurting badly. their inflation, as you know, because i saw your reporting on it, their inflation is through the roof. their economy has tanked entirely. the sanctions are absolutely hurting them horribly. i don't want to see that. they're great people. i don't want to see that. but we can't let them have a nuclear weapon. can't let it happen. so i think that there's a really gonceha that we would meet. jeff, please. >> thank you, mr. president. another follow-up from what the president of france said. he said that there might be a need for compensation to iran. would you given all the criticism you have made of the jcpoa and the money they got, be open to g iran compensation if it met some of the criteria you laid out? >> no, what he's talking in terms of compensation is they are out of money, and they may need a short-term letter of credit or loan. no, we're not paying. we don't pay. but they may need some money to

get them over a very rough patch. and if they do need money, certainly, and it would be secured by oil, which to me is great security. and they have a lot of oil. but it's secured by oil. we're really talking about a letter of credit type facility. >> for the u.s. or from t countries? >> from numerous countries. numerous countries. and it comes back. it would expire, be paid back immediately and quickly. yes, go ahead. yes. >> thank you very much, mr. president. i'm with the japanese newspaper. >> good. just left your prime minister abe. good man. great man. >> okay. and now the u.s. and japan have an agreement in principle, which you said is a tremendous trade deal for the united states. so -- >> and for japan. >> yes. so are you still considering

imposing section 230 to tariffsd states on national security grounds? >> not at this moment, no. not at this moment. well, it's one of the reasons we made the deal, but not at this moment. it's something i could do at a later date if i wanted to, but we're notooking at that. we want to be treated fairly. japan has h tremendous trade surplus with the united states for many years, long before i came here. we're transforming our country. we're taking these horrible one-sided, foolish, very dumb, stupid, if you would like to use that word because it's so descriptive. we're taking these trade deals that are so bad and we're making good, solid deals out of them. and that's transforming our country. that will be transformative. and very exciting, i think, for our country. very, very exciting. please, go ahead. go ahead. >> thank you, mr. president. >> i didn't actually say you.

i said the woman behind you. why don't we do her first? you have been asking a lot of questions all day long. >> thanks, mr. president. yamiche alcindor. >> can't say i don't give you access. >> thanks, mr. president. why do you think it's important to invite russia to the g7 given that they have meddled in the tent 16 election. and are you worried if russia does come to the g7 it might hurt you politically because it's only going to be a couple months before the 2020 election? >> i don't care politically. a lot of people don't understand this. i ran one election. and i won. happened to be for president. i don't care politically. i'm going to run another election. i think i'm winning based on polls we see, whether i win or not, i have to do the right thing. so i don't do things for political reasons. is it good? probably not. maybe it is. a lot of people are smart. a lot of people say having russia, which is a power, having them inside the room is better than having them outside the room. by the way, there were numerous

people during the g7 who felt that way, and we didn't take a vote, but we did discuss it. my inclination is to say yes, they should be in. they were really, it was a president obama -- i'm not blaming him, but a lot of bad things happened with president putin and president obama. one of the things that happened, is, as you know, what happened with a very big area. a very, very big and important area in the middle east, where the red line was drawn and then president obama decided that he was not going to do anything about it. you can't draw a red line in the sand. you just can't do it. and the other was in ukraine, having to do with a certain section of ukraine that you know very well. where it was sort of ten away from president obama. not taken away from president trump. taken away from president obama. president obama was not happy that this happened because it was embarrassing to him. right? it was very embarrassing to him. and he wanted russia to be out

of the what was called the g8. and that was his determination. he was outsmarted by putin. he was outsmarted. president putin outsmarted president obama. and i can understand how president obama would feel. he wasn't happy. and they're not in for that reason. now, i'm only thinking about the world, and i'm thinking about this country in terms of the g7, whether it's g7, g8. i think it would be better to have russia inside the tenlt than outside the tent. do we live either way? yes, we live either way. is it politically popular for me to say that? possibly not. i think a lot of people would agree with me, frankly, but possibly not. i do nothing for politics. i know a lot of you are going to smile at that. i do nothing for politics. i do what's right. and people like what i do. but i just do what's right. if i wanted to go strictly by politics i would probably poll that and possibly i would say oh, gee, i don't want russia in.

but i really think it's good for security of the world. it's good for the economics. they're building a big pipeline in europe going right up to germany. i said to angela, who i had a great relationship, i said you know, you pay russia billions o dollars. and then we defend you. from russia. >> why do you think the misleading statement that russia outsmarting president obama when other countries have said that the reason why russia was kicked out was very clearly because they annexed crimea. why keep repeating what some people would see as a clear lie. >> it was annexed -- i know you like president obama, but it was annexed during president obama's term. if it was annexed during my term, i would say sorry, i make a mistake. president obama was helping ukraine. crimea was annexed during his term. now, it's a very big area, very important area. russia has its submarine, that's

where they do their submarine work and where they dock large and powerful submarines. but not as powerful as ours and not as large as ours. but they have their submarines, and president obama was pure and simply outsmarted. they took crimea during his term. that was not a good thing. it could have been stopped. could have been stopped. with the right whatever. it could have been stopped. but president obama was unable to stop it. and it's too bad. go ahead. >> you have been watching a news conference with president trump following the end of the g7 summit. and you just heard the president of the united states say that he does nothing for political reasons. that may come as a surprise to many people. for the past 45 minutes, french president emmanuel macron and president trum held a joint conference. president trump has been speaking for the last 15 minutes covering a wide range of topics, including china and iran. let's focus now on iran, with chief washington correspondent

major garrett, who joins us now. he's been following the story from washington. what stood out for you, major, about his comments about iran? >> there's bristling with possibilities. the president of the united states just said within weeks he might have a sit-down face-to-face meeting with the president of iran, rouhani. that would be a very big development. and the president said he is willing, with the intercession and possibly mediating efforts of the french, they are the ones who brought the iranian foreign minister, quite surprisingly, to the g7 meeting, to see if there might be a possibility of bringing the united states and iran closer together. at least in terms of having a conversation about lowering tensions and perhaps resolving or redrafting the iran nuclear deal. the president said three things that i think are very important in this context, gayle. one, directly quoting, we're not looking for a leadership change. meaning no leadership change in iran is required to have conversations. that has not always been the

trump administration point of view. leadership change has been part of the suggested resolution of differences between the united states and iran. also, he wants no nuclear weapon in the future for ijuan. no ballistic missile testing and a longer term of duration and more significant international inspections of iran. all those things are on the table. the president did not rule out a meeting. this does not suggest this is going to be resolved, but here in france at this g7 summit, the motion has been at least created for a possible face-to-face meeting on these extremely important issues. >> he said he would be willing to meet under the right circumstances, and french president macron made it clear he was the one who initiated this conversation. do you think that was an important point for him to make? >> it was an important distinction for the french to make, that this is their initiative. they're trying to set this in motion. but the president did not reject it, said he was kept in constant communication by the french president, so it's an opening.

all it is, pregnant with possibility, but that's it. >> pregnant with possibility. we'll be watching. thank you. paula reid is traveling with the president. she is now at the g7 summit. it's just wrapped up. paula, what's next for president trump? >> as you heard here, gayle, even though china is not part of the g7, that subject has dominated this entire summit. you heard president trump here in this press conference. he tried to emphasize how hard these tariffs have hit china without reminding people how hard these have hit u.s. consumers and u.s. businesses. talks continue at the highest levels and sources tell cbs news they expect in-person meetings next month in washington. >> it's been an interesting morning. thank you, paula. there will be more to come on your local news on this cbs station, tonight on the evening news with norah o'donnell. many of you will return now to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. cbs news, new york. for news 24 hours a day, go to

cbs news.com. welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring you stories we call "talk of the table." we each pick a story we share with each other and all of you. adriana, i can't wait to see what you is controversial. there's a new online program. they show pictures of those picked up on gun charges, not arrested. this is extremely controversial. people think it's -- critics call it a scare tactic. of course, everyone is presumed

innocent until proven guilty, but the chicago police department is trying to get creative, trying different things to reduce violence in the city. just this year there have been 282 homicides in the city of chicago. that's a four-year low. >> i'm troubled by this. people are not necessarily charged with this. charged, arrested, but not guilty yet. >> the police commissioner said this information is public anyway. you can always look it up. there's a different between knowing how to look up public records and having it online. >> and encouraging people to take a look. >> but it's so sought of control, they ee thinking they have to do something. i spent part of the summer on a paddle board in cape cod, falling off because there was an 8-year-old on one end and a 10-year-old on the other end. there's only room for one. for the first time somebody on a

paddle board has gone from san francisco all the way across the pasting. >> was it bruce springsteen? i only say that because i heard he's very good. that didn't come out of nowhere. >> i think that still qualifies as nowhere in the report. it was antonio de la rosa. a little bit of a qualification. you can see he did it with a paddle board that is particularly long and has a modified back so he can sleep, storage bins, a way to convert ocean water into drinking water. still, no 10-year-old, 7-year-old rocking the paddle boat. >> tony, don't blame your kids for rocking the paddle boat. >> it is hard. it is hard. >> i'm also looking for bruce video. >> i'm not good. i heard he is very good. mine is about the popeyes new chicken sandwich. have you heard about this? it's hard to find. believe me.

i tried yesterday. i went to a couple of locations. it sold out all around the country. that's me and my nephew cameron harrison who works over at "good morning america." we went to one location. we never thought it would be difficult. between the two of us, we called 15 locations. could not find it. helen rosner got me with this. the meat is flavorful, juicy, encased in a spiky golden sea urchin of butter, surprisingly light, uncommonly crispy. you get a crunch in every bite, the bun is a buttery cushion. it's over the top. is it healthy? no. damnit, but don't it taste good. i just think. it has become a thing all around the country. you go. you can't find it.

i don't understand why popeyes would sell out of a chicken sandwich on a sunday. i don't know. >> because it's that good. >> people are funny online. they said, i hope they feel that way about voting as well as they do about finding this chicken sandwich in november. >> popeye. maybe they'll send you a sandwich today. public announcement. >> i would like one. this morning we're looking at the rise of americans working remotely as part of our series called "work in progress." gee graph cake flexibility can save money for businesses and staffers. researchers found employees who worked remotely raised revenue and productivity and boosted their economy. since 2017 there's been a 78% increase in job postings that mention work flexibility. jessie, good morning. >> good morning. >> there's always the suggest if you work from home you're lazy,

on the couch watching "cbs this morning" or on the beach. >> there's nothing wrong with watching "cbs this morning." >> that's right. >> that's not what remote workers are doing. when they work, they're working. >> what do you find? >> we're finding people increasingly want to be, expt to be able to work from wherever they want to work. if you're thinking of remote workers, maybe you know someone working from home, but that's not partf it. increasingly people are living in different cities than they work in. >> isn't there some benefit in face-to-face interaction with your colleagues and certainly with your boss? i would think it would be very hard to get promoted if you don't have face-to-face interaction. how do people navigate around that? >> i think what you're getting at is mentorships and relationships. just as if you're in the office, working remotely. you have to build those.

you have to work harder to do it. so whether it is getting into the office on a quarterly basis and make sure to schedule lunches to get to know them or schedule a weekly phone call to catch up, maybe there's no work to do, it's really, really necessary. >> why might this be good for employers? i get why employees might do it. if you're an employer, why? >> two big reasons. the first is it saves money. if you're not paying for my desk, my overhead, that's money that geese into your purse. but it saves money in another place too. employees want it. it's a perk. if you offer it to them, they will stay. and when they don't leave, you save money on attrition. >> don't you find most people when they're working from home, they're really working. >> yeah. >> i would think you want to prove to your employer it works for me, works for you. >> if it doesn't work, you're not going to get the perk. >> sometimes you're at the

office doing inside the office. >> let's be honest. goofy things at home happened a work, you drop a package on your employer's dime. you just get a bad rap when it happens from home. >> i think she's help make the case to some today. >> thanks. a groundbreaking law is getting musicians a better shot at fair pay in the digital age. ahead in our dj tall series "common ground," dio welcome to monday. we are starting off with low clouds in areas of fog along the coast and for parts of the bay. clear for our inland locations as we head through the afternoon, temps heating up through about average. 97 in fairfield, 96 in fairfield and livermore.

81 in oakland and 74 for san francisco. higher humidity tuesday and for wednesday, making it feel even warmer. a little bit cooler thursday and friday.

. love that series. our series "common ground" working on setting aside differences and solving problems. 76% stream their music but musicians have not always been paid fairly for the digital distribution of their work. now a new act helps and closing a loophole in copyright law to better fit the digital era. president trump signed the bill in 2018 after it passed unanimously in house and senate.

cbs contributor and former senator jeff flake spoke with dionne warwick and how the new law will help struggling artists. >> i've always loved dionne warwick. her sounds were the sound track at all of my school dances. ♪ i know i'll never love this way again ♪ >> i know i'llever >> i know i'll never love this way again. >> that's the last song they would play that everyone wanted to ask the prettiest girl to dance to. >> of course. cause i'll never love this way again. ♪ if you see me walking down the street ♪ >> today streaming services play her iconic hits all the time. ♪ never fall in love again >> but warwick often doesn't see a dime. >> really, every time the record is played, i don't get paid. no, i don't get paid. >> any song she recorded before

1972 had zero protection under copyright law until now. in case you haven't noticed, congress has been pretty dysfunctional. >> really. >> to have something like the >> so to have something like the music modernization act embraced by virtually everyone and pasunanimously in the house and senate. i can tell you from experience, that doesn't happen very often. >> tell me about it. >> last year, warwalk and smokey robinson went to congress. robinson testified that this was a livelihood thing. >> an arbitrary date on the calendar should not be the arbiter of value. >> how were you able to come together with those who stream musics, the labels and everyone? pause they had to all be onboard. >> if i don't make a record, you can't play it. >> i think the relationship is one of we both need each other. >> david israelite and gar

garrett levin represent opposing signs. >> i represent the song writer partners. >> i represent the streaming music services. apple music, spotify, and pandora. >> all of these parties came to the table in part because of copyright lawsuits. >> song writers weren't getting paid because of long-standing challenges and finding the right people who are owed the money. that kind of lose/lose situation is the alchemy that brought everyone to the table to say how do we get to the art of the possible? >> done. >> he has been working to pass legislation for about ten years. >> i actually think one of the reasons why this happened is because washington has become such a difficult place to get things done. instead of going to congress and each fighting for our own interest and probably getting nothing, we all understood that the only way we would get legislation is if we could figure it out ourselves and agree.

>> they agreed to build a licensing system. it simplifies how the streaming surfaces pay songwriters. deion warwick is thankful for that. >> what would be your image to congress on issues like immigration or gun policy or other things that are so intractable. >> once we realize we're all human beings, that god put us on the earth to be a service to each other, we became a nation of i, me, my. what happened to us? that's what we have to get back to. ♪ that's what friends are forinates. >> and jeff flake joins us at the table. if everyone in congress had to listen to dionne warwick before they voted, there would be happiness at the table. it's amamazing the music modernization act passed unanimously in the house and

senate. last week, eminem's sponsor sued claiming this might not be constitutional. >> a lot of people looked at this and don't put much stock in it. what brought everybody to the table was lawsuits like this. that's what we're trying to move away from. and i think we're all fully confident that it will withstand the constitutional scrutiny. >> is the way this came together a model for washington functioning in the future? >> that's what i was thinking. >> i think it is. the way they said that they realized congress was dysfunctional, so let's get agreement where we can and then go to congress and say, hey, we have agreement. help us move this through. that's what happened. >> say a little prayer for me. >> i love how you said it's the sound track of your high school dances. in the green room, you told me the sound track of the courtship of your life with your wife. was she singing walk on by or say a little prayer for you. >> it wasn't heartbreaker. >> let's talk politics if we could.

recent report says that they're looking for candidates to oppose president trump in the gop primary. do you know whose name came up? jeff flake. jeff flake's name came up. what is jeff flake thinking. >> a lot of people have been talking since the economy seems to not be as robust as perhaps thought. some republicans are saying if the economy isn't good, is there anything to recommend this president to voters? and i think increasingly, that answer is no. and so a lot of people are getting calls. >> that wasn't the question, senator flake. the question was, your name came up on the list. have you been approached or are you thinking or do you not want to say? >> i have been approached. it's stepped up lately. but i made the decision to not get in the race and i haven't changed my mind. >> all right. call us if you do. first. >> jeff flake, thank you so much. now, before we go, we'll share our new partnership with "new york times" best-selling author gritchen reuben and her award
