good morning to you our viewers in the west. it's friday, september 27, 2019. welcome back to cbs this morning. i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. president trump unloads on a whistle-blower who is alleging abuse of power and a white house cover up. jay keck lsekulow talks with us plus a report error putting cancer patients at risk. and a 50th anniversary of abby road. first here's today eye opener. congress is going on recess at the impeachment inquiry and accusations of a white house cover up are just getting started. >> congressional investigators are going to be working to lineup interviews. >> clearly the president wants
8:01 am
to undermine the whistle-blower's credibility. he's pointed out he only knew the details because he heard about it secondhand. >> the complaint reads to me like a high quality piece of cia e oraragphs, bullets on the precision of language. uber ceo believes that article is based on hearsay. uber says that it used old facts and that the company's policies and procedures have evolves. >> the whistle-blower accuses the administration of trying to lockdown evidence by moving a transcript of the ukraine call to a high security server. >> and yes, server. >> nicely done, trevor noah. trump suggests the whistle-blow of -- whoever passed oninrmatio speech that of course was caught
8:02 am
on camera. >> who gave the whistle-blower the information? he's not supposed to respond. you know what we used to do in the old days when we respond? spies and treason, right? we used to handle it a little differently than we do now. >> the president's acting director of national intelligence, that's joseph ma guy -- maguire said the whistle-blower did the right thing. >> the report released publicly yesterday says the president used his power to attempt to get a foreign country to interfere in the 2020 election. the information came from more than a half dozen u.s. officials. it also claimed senior white house staff members tried to lock down access to records of mr. trump's call with the president of ukraine. that includes moving the transcript to a system used to store highly classified information even though it did not include any such material.
8:03 am
>> jay sekulow serves as counsel to the president and he joins us now from washington. jay, good morning. >> good morning. >> yesterday we learned that the acting director of national intelligence considers this report to be serious. it was found to be credible and it's believed that the whistle-blower acted in good faith. let's move to the contents of the complaint and see if we can agree on some of the things that have happened because as republicans pointed out, it hasn't been proven. on the question of whether the call was moved to a server meant for intelligence matters, a political call moved to a server meant for intelligence matters and locked down there, did that happen and if so, why? >> well, first of all, i'm not the white house counsel. i'm the president's counsel. that's a different role. so i'm not involved in how the white house internally handles -- >> has the president told you he did that? >> first of all, i never had that conversation with the president but i'm not going to tell you a conversation i had with the president. let's get a couple facts, let's
8:04 am
get some things clarified. this individual has no firsthand knowledge of the events outlined -- >> i want to interrupt -- >> can i finish the sentence? >> it's important because two trump administration appointees have found the report to be credible, so what my goal is here is to find out -- >> i have a goal too. let me answer the question you asked. >> secondhand information, yes. but deemed credible, so let's talk about the contents. >> hold it. secondhand information that would the not be admissible in the u.s. district court in the middle district of georgia. >> but did it happen sir? >> did what happen? >> was the conversation moved into the second server and is if why? >> you have the wrong guest. i'm the president's counsel. i don't decide where things are moved or how they're handled on security matters. >> as the president's counsel, let's talk about the call that the president declassified and released a partial transcript of, kind of a call summary. >> that was the -- hold it.
8:05 am
there's the normal disclaimer on there that it was not as you said word for word verbatim transcript. that's on these. apparently that's the standard operating practice. the question that should be asked and that's not being asked here is with the context of what took place at the hearing yesterday, why dnidn't adam gi t schiff just read the -- >> you can ask adam if you sit down together. according to the call summary the president on july 25th, a time when joe biden was leading in the polls, seemed to be a major rival of the president, the president brings up his name in a conversation with a foreign leader seeming to invite the uncovering of dirt about a political rival. was that appropriate? >> there is no violation of law, rule, regulation or statute with that phone call. >> but was it appropriate? >> look, if the president determines what communications he wants to have and what he believes is appropriate in his
8:06 am
communications with another head of state. and by the way, the fact is the white house decided to release this transcript. they gave it to you all and they gave it to congress and an abundance of transparency, but we should not be happy that conversations with presidents are going to be disclosed if this starts becoming a regular practice. >> has the president ever -- >> hold it. it's hard to conduct affairs of state with other foreign leaders when this kind of nonsense is going on. >> the president voluntarily released the call, mr. sekulow. >> yes, he did. i don't think we should be gloating that's a great day for america that we're releasing call. >> we're trying to get on the record what happened and what did not happen. in the call the president brought up joe biden and also invoked rudy giuliani suggesting that -- >> the president of ukraine -- >> i need to get a question out. >> the president of ukraine raised rudy giuliani. now go ahead. >> rudy giuliani was said to be
8:07 am
in touch with u tk about apparently digging up dirt about a political rival. has the president ever asked you would you accept that assignment if you were rudy giuliani? and has the president asked you to do something similar? >> hold it. first of all, i have not been involved in this, but i will be very clear, i am not going to discuss what the president discussed with me about any event in the context of attorney/client privilege, number one. number two, i can go back to the initial statement. what in the conversation violates a rule, regulation, or law? what is the violation of law in that conversation? >> that is not the standard, mr. sekulow. this is a political question that's been moved to congress in a call involving political -- in a call involving taxpayer money >> hold it, hold it. >> he was on hold for multiple months. >> the president of the united states. of course the call involves taxpayer money. what does that have to do with rules, regulations or statutes? nothing. this is what's so i ronnic --
8:08 am
>> he's holding back funding at the time of the call and he's asking a foreign government to look into a rival. >> you have no knowledge of that. >> can you enlighten us, sir? >> why are you having so much trouble understanding this? you asked me to be a guest on your broadcast. >> you represent the president. this involves the president. >> but i'm not the white house counsel. i don't make those decisions. those are not conversations i have. >> so are you here to talk about things other than your client? >> no. i talk about the transcript. that's what you invited me on your broadcast to do. >> and here's the question regarding the transcript. >> good. >> was it appropriate for the president to invoke a -- to invite a foreign government to dig up dirt on his main political rival? >> let's phrase what he said. did he say political? i want political dirt? is that in the transcript, by the way? is that in the transcript? political dirt on a rival? >> he said he heard very bad things, things that have not been proven, there's no evidence
8:09 am
of and he said -- >> stick to the text of the transcript. >> do us a favor he said. >> you're looking to corruption. let me ask you a question. do you think ukraine's had an issue with corruption? >> of course. and the senate determined -- >> so you think the president of the united states might be able to raise that? >> when the senate -- >> did the president raise that issue? >> the senate -- hold on. the senate approved the aid back in may because they were satisfied that significant steps had been taken to rule out that corruption. it's yet to be explained why the president held that aid back for three months and then only released it one day after adam schiff requested the whistle-blower's complaint. that's a curious timeline. if you can enlighten us on it, please do. >> i'll enlighten you on something i don't think you want to pay attention to and that is the transcript. you're trying to figure outof ut ght ifhat is the case a hold back pending whatever it was going to be, whatever issues the state department and all the
8:10 am
other agencies were dealing with. i cannot look into that because i am the private counsel. so when you invite me on your network, let's be clear on what i can and cannot say if peeptwe to do this again.

dozens of children fightingt after the accidental destruction of their frozen stem cells at a california hospital. children's hospital los angeles said a freezer storing the blood stem cells malfunctioned earlier this month. the cells of 56 pediatric cancer patients were lost. the procedure to extract the cells can be painful. they are normally thawed after chemotherapy to restock patients' blood. as carter evans reports, the hospital informed the families by letter, some mistakenly sent to children. >> i got to the bottom, and i just started sobbing. >> it's heartbreaking. he should have never had to read this or have this addressed to him. >> reporter: what was addressed accidentally to 13-year-old sean was this letter informing him along with 55 other families that the stem cells stored to
8:17 am
help beat back his cancer were gone. >> never even thought in a million years that we would have to worry about losing that safety net of those stem cells. >> reporter: it's gone. >> just gone like that. >> reporter: she's also devastated, unable to understand how the hospital let such critical material be destroyed. >> something definitely needs to be fixed because one child shouldn't have gone through this, let alone as many as it has. >> obviously, you know, we feel horribly about this. >> reporter: chief medical officer james stein says the hospital is very sorry but says there's a reasonable to high likelihood they could reharvest the stem cells if needed. they tell me it's really painful. >> i've not experienced it. i think everybody goes through it a little bit differently. we are obviously very sensitive to the fact that it is not an enjoyable experience. >> reporter: sean's cancer, neuroblastoma, has been in remission for the past three years. still, both elizabeth and sean fear it could return, and that they won't be able to get back those lifesaving stem cells.
8:18 am
>> that was our safety net if he were to relapse again. >> reporter: are you prepared to go through this again if you have to? >> no. i don't want to have to go through this again because i've already gone through enough. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," carter evans, los angeles. >> children's hospital los angeles issued a statement ying, que, we any distress or confusion this has caused our patients and their families. safeguards were in place at the time but were insufficient. the hospital says it has since replaced the freezer and upgraded the alert system. our dr. david agus is an oncologist at the university of southern california. david, good morning. you're familiar with this hospital. what went wrong here? >> when i saw this story, my heart literally fell down. 56 kids -- this was an insurance blanket. their stem cells are -- there's a reason we do it early on. chemotherapy can harm the cells and make it difficult to get out. this insurance blanket went away. the notion of freezer failing in
8:19 am
today's world with all the technology we have, we can have nine backups, but there weren't here. and to me that's sad. >> what makes the stem cells so important for sick children? >> if the child, that carter did a beautiful piece on, the neuroblastoma recurred, we give the chemotherapy to him and put his own stem cells back in so they would repopulate his red and his white cells and he would be fine. the difficult is now thats go'se away. the hope is that the cancer never recurs, but the parents and him i'm sure are going to be thinking every night, dammit, i wish they were there. >> they can't be replaced? >> it's difficult to get new stem cells. it's painful, a big procedure. many times when you get that initial chemotherapy for the cancer, it harms the bone marrow in a way that not enough stem cells can come out. >> there were failures last year at embryo storage tanks. what needs to be done to ensure this doesn't happen? >> it doesn't seem to be enough to say, sorry, the back up didn't work. >> sorry, we tripped over the plug.
8:20 am

the joy of life and everyday living has to be part of the healing process, as well. >> the reason i thought this was so interesting is one of the ways she deals with the pain is medical marijuana. >> yes. >> another way -- >> that her husband grows for her. n bn r philosophywh partf it. i never felt victimized because it's a decision. how am i going to deal with it. you don't choose cancer, but you can adjust how you respond t ex. she turned 71 yesterday. the cancer has come back for a third time. it's now been diagnosed as stage four. but it's not something that consumes her. it's not something that she dwells on. she really does feel just live your life and have a positive attitude. she certainly has that, and she looks great. she's doing the interview because she's trying to raise money for her cancer center. she's auctioning off those "grease" pants. >> wow. >> and the "grease" jacket that we saw. can she get in them again? >> can i say, i like her music. >> i do, too. >> i might have bought a couple of her albums just for the
8:35 am
covers. >> yeah. >> might have influenced my purchase. >> i'm not aware of ever seeing the covers. you can see the full interview with olivia newton-john this sunday on "cbs sunday morning." a p of our "work in progress" series with linkedin, we're looking at why it says fall is the best time to find a job. i think it's fall right now. a survey commissioned by linkedin found october has the on its website. 89% of hiring managers fill those spots in less than four weeks. with the national unemployment rate at a 50-year low, now could be the perfect time to land your dream job. editor-in-chief, dan roth, with tips on how to do that. you said this is a good time to be looking for a job. what's the best day to apply for a job? >> mondays. more job listings. >> tomorrow. >> no, monday, two days. >> exactly. >> why? >> i think a lot of hiring managers spend the week getting their job descriptions ready. monday, start the week off, put your job description up, and
8:36 am
wait for the resumes to start coming in. >> it's good to be first in line. >> it is. it is helpful to be first in line, but it is not the end all be all. the real key is making sure you are out with your profile, that you're sharing, talking about what you're an expert in. you've got your skills listed. that you are networking with people. you want to make sure you are actually out in the market, so if you were a passive -- if you're a hiring manager, they'll look for passive job candidates and people who were just applying for jobs. >> if you're one of the first 25 applicants to apply, you're three times more likely to land it? >> it shows a lot of excitement if you're a hiring manager. these people clearly want to get in the door. also, if you're hiring, like -- by the time you list the job, you want it filled right away. by the time you list it, you wish you had done it months before. so you want to fill it. >> you want to focus on skills in a resume. that's obvious. you say demonstrate them as best as possible. how do you break through on a piece of paper to demonstrate skills happening in an office? >> if you were relying on a piece of paper, you're doing it wrong.
8:37 am
the most important thing is be out there. you want to share your expertise. constantly talk about what you know. ask questions. share stories that are interesting to you. demonstrate -- your profile is just an image of where you've worked. just like your skeleton. but you want to put meat on that. you want to explain how you think -- if you're hiring, you want to make sure you're hiring someone who doesn't just have all -- hasn't just done all the check boxes, exactly. but they think, they're smart, they're asking the right questions. >> i say, dan, you've got to figure out a way to get a face-to-face interview. i used to say if i could just get my face in the door, i will do whatever it takes to knock it out of the park. you also said that you don't think companies are doing enough to attract people. >> yeah. a lot of companies are still trapped in this kind of post-recession mindset where they think they are going to hire exactly the right person. they're looking -- looking for unicorns. >> you got to stop looking for unicorns. they look at big gaps in employment and say this person, i don't know what they were doing or someone had a lot of jobs, we don't want job hoppers. in a tight labor market when
8:38 am
we're at a 50-year low in unemployment, you have to be thinking much more expan expansy about who can fill these jobs, be willing to train people. the smart companies are starting to do that. >> if so many people are applying, you apply on line. it's your resume is up front. gayle talks about trying to get the interview. it's hard to get. how do you stand out? >> a couple of things. make sure that your skills are listed. a lot of companies are not just looking at where you worked, they're looking at do you have the right skills for the job. take skill assessments. take courses, make sure you're listing those on your profile. but also, really you have to write, share, talk, shoot videos you have to be out there. >> shoot videos? >> yeah. you want to be on your phone saying i'm at a conference, i met these people. here's what i know -- >> you think companies are getting more creative? >> absolutely. >> how so? >> we know recruiters are being ask today to take creative writing classes to write better job descriptions, to attract palso you just have to be able o show that you know how to talk -- the biggest job, the biggest skill that's in demand for companies now is communication
8:39 am
skills. if you can slow that you can communicate, you have a better chance. >> bartenders doing okay? >> they don't mean communication by emoji. the old-fashioned, face to face. >> whatever works. >> on "cbs this morning" podcast, the authors of the new book, wildhood, explain how studying wild animals can help us understand the growing pains of human teenagers. you can listen on your favorite podcast platform. >> ahead, what a 50th anniversary remix of abbey road uh-oh, looks like someone's
