[ cheers ] >> what have we got? >> well, there's your morning pep talk. welcome to "cbs this morning." the turkish military is pushing deeper into northern syria this morning in its massive offensive against kurdish allies of the united states. turkey accuses the kurds of being terrorists. a human rights group says at least 16 people have been killed, and 33 wounded in the assault so far. >> turkish forces attacked by land and air after u.s. troops in the region pulled back from their positions near the syrian border. president trump who agreed to withdraw the troops is now calling the turkish attack, quote, a bad idea. charlie d'agata is in northern syria this morning. he has reported extensively from the region. >> reporter: well, we just crossed that river from iraq to here in northern syria. it's a crossing we've made several times in the past year. but this time, it's different.

the kurdish forces who we've accompanied in their fight against isis are now under attack themselves from a u.s. and nato ally. the turkish military unleashed an onslaught of artillery and air strikes overnight targeting tlabid and another syrian town. both recently vacated by u.s. forces. that's not all. the turkish defense ministry say they struck 180 so-called terrorist targets across 150-mile span that includes key cities. and they say a ground offensive has begun today. it is already underway. now commanders of the kurdish led syrian democratic forces say they've had to pause operations against isis in order to face down this turkish invasion. they also say the offensive has jeopardized the security of prisons housing thousands of isis prisoners, risking a breakout or possibly leading to an isis resurgence. the military action the past 24 hours has sparked a mass exodus

of thousands of civilians who are trying to flee the reach of turkish artillery and air strikes. and the sdf has warned of the humanitarian catastrophe if this turkish offensive continues at this intensity. now i can tell you we spent years with these sdf forces, watching from the front lines in their fight against isis. men and women who have helped protect us. they say they were broadsided by what happened. they feel abandoned and betrayed. >> charlie d'agata, thank you. at the white house yesterday president trump answered questions about syria and turkey and his decision to pull bk u.s. troops. >> i think we're doing a great job. i think the people of this country, i campaigned on ending

the endless wars. we're all over the world fighting wars. we are doing the right thing, and i think the country feels that, too. we've had tremendous support outside of the washington, little washington area. and even in washington people are saying "you're doing the right ing." >> at least a dozen republican senators have publicly criticized the public's decision. "face the nation" moderator and senior foreign affairs correspondent margaret brennan joins us now. good morning. based on your reporting, is it your understanding that the president has support of people from his administration and national security team on this issue? >> reporter: no. the pentagon and state department officials all the way up to the secretary of state had argued for a much stronger response to prevent turkey from harming u.s. allies in syria. but this policy is being driven by the president's conviction here. he is totally convinced and solely focused that he nodes to pull out u.s. troops -- he needs to pull out u.s. troops, and

this is despite the white house has opposed the turkish invasion. it is what he said to turkey's president erdogan that contradicted the u.s. stance because he agreed to pull u.s. troops out of the area, and that was seen as a green light. >> margaret, we heard the president threaten major economic consequences for forecast if it goes too -- turkey if it goes too far. what exactly is the red line here? >> reporter: exactly, no one's defined too far. generally in is a threat of sanctions. u.s. officials are concerned by a few things. one, that civilians are getting killed. that the turks are going to target kurdish fighters that the u.s. fought alongside. in the future, what happens to all those syrian refugees? turkey's erdogan suggested he wants to push millions of them who fled the war back into the border area. the u.s. wants it to happen in a humane way. >> is it possible to u.s. troops could be drawn back into the region? >> reporter: it always is in the middle east.

you won't lose money betting that. i'm told in this case, turkey's erdogan is not expected to stand down. he is hellbent on this invasion. the focus is on just how far turkish troops go into syria and if it extends beyond the safe zone. there are still roughly about 1,000 troops, u.s. troops, at other locations in that country. >> margaret, what happens with the isis fighters being held by the kurds? what's likely to happen to them? >> reporter: there are two in particular that have gotten a lot of attention. the scheduled beatles, the u.s. and the u.k. are negotiating over them because they were directly involved in the killing of american journalists including james foley. they man extradited to the u.s., but the u.k. has to agree. other high-value detainees are being moved from prisons that have been jointly secured by the u.s. and kurdish fighters into military prisons. the challenge for months now is that there are thousands of fighters whose home countries stripped them of citizenship. and now many of those european countries are refusing to take them back. it's the fate of those fighters

and their families who are living in camps inside syria that many are worried about because the concern is that in the chaos that will result from this invasion, it could allow isis to regroup. >> all right. margaret brennan. thank you. cbs news has obtained the full contents of the whistle-blower memo at the center of the house impeachment inquiry. and a fox news poll released yesterday shows 51% of registered voters believe president trump should be impeached and removed from office. that's an increase of 9% in the past three months. weijia jiang is at the white house. what more do we know about the whistle-blower? >> reporter: well, right now we are talking about this memo because president trump continues to call it a scam, pointing to the whistle-blower being a registered democrat. cbs news has learned that the person was a -- has a prior working relationship with a current democratic presidential contenders. but lawyers say their client has never worked for or advised a political party or a campaign,

and say the real issue here is the president's conduct and not the whistle-blower's resume. >> i had a perfect phone call with the president of ukraine. >> reporter: the whistle-blower's two-page memo memorializes how a white house official who was listening in described president trump's phone call as crazy, fraught new england, and completely -- frightening, and completely lacking in substance related to national security. the official was visibly shaken. the president's personal lawyer, rudolph giuliani, tells cbs news the memo discredits the whistle-blower's formal complaint. "this poor little sissy was worried. nobody was threatening anyone." but in the official's view, mr. trump had clearly committed a criminal act. on wednesday, former vice president joe biden joined his fellow 2020 presidential candidates and called for president trump's impeachment for the first time. >> he's shooting holes in the constitution. and we cannot let him get away

with it. [ applause ] >> reporter: biden also told cbs boston station wbz that he did nothing wrong as vice president while his son, hunter, served on the board of a ukrainian energy company. >> i don't discuss things with my son and my family because i don't want to have any knowledge of any -- i don't want to be accused of, well, talk with your son, whomever. >> reporter: bide's camp said he changed his minds on impeachment in part because of the president's decision to refuse to cooperate with congress. >> the whole thing is a scam. it's a fix. >> reporter: with or without president trump's cooperation, democrats are charging forwards with their investigation. cbs news has learned that the three house committees working on this have requested that fiona hill, the president's former senior director for russia on the national security council, testify next week. tony? >> all right.

thank you so much. we want to get to news out of california which is facing a critical fire danger this morning. at least a half dozen wildfires are burning across the state at this hour. and forecasters say high winds and low humidity are increasing the risk. those conditions prompted the state's largest power utility, pg&e, to shut off electricity to more than 700,000 customers. john jonathan vigliotti is in sonoma. doesn't sound good. how is it affecting people living there? >> reporter: yeah, very hard as you can imagine. a lot of people still without power. it could last for days. one expert telling us that the state could lose in total about $2.5 billion, billion with a "b." some of the hardest hit areas, downtowns like here in sonoma. the power was cut yesterday morning as the high winds started to pick up. some people telling us they only got a few hours' notice before the lights were cut. the high winds that fueled wildfires late wednesday

continued overnight. the dangerous mix of swaying trees and power lines would increase the wildfire threat if the power wasn't already cut. ron blasingame is coping with the blackout. >> i should have bought a generator. those are gone. they're gone. nobody has those. >> reporter: he says pacific gas and electric hasn't been doing its job to keep its infrastructure safe. >> they haven't cleared the brush from their lines, but they want to pay dividends and give their executives money. it's public utility, you know, we're paying for that. >> reporter: what's your mortgage to pg&e? >> do your job. protect the public. >> reporter: many waited in long lines to fill their gas tanks before the puchs lost electricity -- pumps lost electricity and shut down. barry friedman's home improvement store lost power but managed to stay open. guiding customers by flashlight to buy among other things flashlights. >> a lot of people coming in, is it fair to say some were caught offguard by this?

>> for sure. unfortunately, we've run out of some of the products they need. >> reporter: debbie medina relies on her cpap and will oxygen generators to stay alive. her condition prevents her from getting to community centers. >> what are you going to do with people like myself? i know i'm not the only one. >> reporter: a lot of people say they feel like they are being punished for what they're calling pg&e's failures. listen, this is going to be a long-term problem. to put this in perspective, it could cause as much as $110 billion to place all of the overheadlines undergrounds, some of the more pressing concerns as simple as communications. a lot of people coming up, asking to charge their cell phones, using our generators. anthony? >> jonathan, thank you. a top german security official says authorities are not ruling out terrorism as a possible motive for a deadly shooting near a synagogue. police say the suspected gunman killed two people yesterday in the city of halle. the entire rampage was live

streamed. the man is seen showing off weapons and ammunition inside a car. police say he shot and killed a woman in the street and a man inside a store. the gunman also tried breaking into a synagogue where dozens of worshippers were observing yom kippur. he was not able to get in. police ultimately arrested the gunman. former nbc news anchor matt lauer is breaking his silence amid new allegations of rape almost two years from being fired from the network. in an open letter, lauer denied he sexually assaulted a co-worker while working at the 2014 winter olympics in sochi. lauer said his relationship with brooke nevils was completely consensual and called her rape allegation categorically false. the graphic details are revealed in ronan farrow's soon to be released book "catch and kill." in a fiery response to the rape allegation against him, former "today" show host matt lauer in

a public letter state his silence has been a mistake, writing, "for two years, the women with whom i had extramarital relationships have abandoned shared responsibility and instead shielded themselves from blame behinds false allegations." lauer directed most of his sharp denials of the sexual misconduct allegations against him toward brooke nevils who told ronan in "catch and kill" that he raped her in the hotel room at the olympics in 2014. lauer writes, "there was absolutely nothing aggressive about the encounter. at no time did she appear in a way that made it appear she was incapable of consent." wednesday, nevils called the open letter an attempt to bully a former colleague into silence. she says, "i am not afraid of him now regardless of his threats and the shaming and predatory tactics."

in "catch and kill," farrow writes he uncovered seven allegations of workplace sexual misconduct against lauer predating his november, 2017, firing. in a memo to employees, nbc news chairman andy lack says any suggestion executives knew of allegations against lauer before his firing are absolutely false and offensive. in a statement, nbc called lauer's conduct appalling, horrific, and reprehensible, adding he was fire wednesdayin 24 hours of us first learning -- fired less than 24 hours of the claim. fair row claimed weinstein used leverage to suppress stories about himself and made it known to the network that he was aware u of lauer's behavior and capable of revealing it. farro eventuallyly took the

story to the "new yorker," and lack defended the network's handling of the weinstein story saying farrow didn't have our standard for broadcast. a media reporter for the "los angeles times" -- >> the bosses tend to be supportive of their executives. unless there is flagrant wrongdoing, i doubt that we're going to see any type of executive changes because of this. >> reporter: on twitter wednesday, nevils broke her silence and said she wanted to thank the many survivors who shared their stories with her and offered their support. >> ronan farrow's book goes on sale october 17th. he will join us here monday. the mother of a 9-year-oldie into defending -- 9-year-old boy is defending her son after he was charged with five counts of first-degree murder. >> everyone is looking at him like he's some kind of monster. but that's not who he is. you know, he -- he's a good boy. >> only on "cbs this morning," why katy alwood says her son's life should not be thrown away after a deadly fire he's accused

us prosecutors have gone too far in charging her son. she says because of multiple death threats, kyle is having to live with other relatives. but she also says he was recently diagnosed with a form of schizophrenia, adhd and bipolar disorder. she says her son is a loving person who deserves a second chance. >> everyone is looking at him like he's some kind of monster, but that's not who she is. >> reporter: katie fighting back tears as she speaks about her 9-year-old son kyle charged this week with killing five people back in april when he set fire to the family home. >> yes, it's a horrible tragedy but it's still not something to throw his life away over. >> the victims are all members of the family. katie's other children, her grandmother, her fiance and her

niece. katie was in the home when the fire broke out while most of the victims were sleeping but was only able to save herself. >> i stood at the window and i told my kids i was sorry i couldn't save them, mommy was right here and i loved them. at least hopefully they heard that. i told jason i love him, i'll always love him. something told me that they're gone. >> so there was a moment where you can hear them screaming? >> yeah. >> you could hear your fiance? >> yeah. >> and then it ended. >> i don't know what's worse, hearing him scream or when it stopped. >> we walk with katie through her sister's home next door. samantha was rose's mother. >> she got me out of bed. she made my days better and it hurts her not being here. >> unlike her sister, samantha wants her nephew kyle to face a strict punishment. >> i think he should go somewhere until he's legal age

good morning to our viewers in the west. 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning". i'm anthony mason with tony dokoupil, gayle king's off so jericka duncan is with us. ahead, one u.s. ally attacks another as turkish troops step up their offensive against kurds -- kurdish forces in syria. plus, senator rand paul is with us defending president trump and criticizing fans of socialism. and our "world of motion" series follows blind teenagers taking off to build new confidence. first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> the turkish military is pushing deeper into northern syria in its massive offensive against kurdish allies. >> the kurdish forces are now

under attack themselves from a u.s. and nato ally. the pentagon and state department officials argue for a much stronger response to prevent turkey from harming u.s. allies. president trump has maintained the whistle-blower report is a scam pointing to the person being a registered democrat. many of these businesses will be closed again today. this state could lose $2.5 billion. former nbc news anchor matt lauer is breaking his silence amid new allegations of rape. he said his relationship with brooke nevills was consensual. president trump lashing out for the good of the country this witch hunt should end now. >> have a look at the way he spelled witch. you can tell trump's really stressed about the possibility of imperchment. this is like the millionth time

twuc trump has tweeted about a witch hunt. you would think he just has to type a "w" and it would fill in the rest. welcome back to "cbs this morning". we have breaking news. two men connected to rudy giuliani have been arrested on campaign finance charges. they reportedly helped giuliani make political connections inside ukraine. federal prosecutors in new york city allege they made an illegal contribution of $325,000 to a political action committee supporting president trump's reelection. the indictment claims the men tried to, quote, funnel foreign money to candidates for federal and state office. giuliani has said that they are clients of his. the former new york mayor has worked with ukraine's government to encourage an investigation of former vice president joe biden and his son.

turkey is escalating attacks on u.s.-backed kurdish fighters in northern syria while the trump administration defends moving american troops out of the way. turkish artillery, warplanes, and troops have killed at least 16 kurdish fighters and wounded 33, according to one human rights group. president trump's critics including some republicans say the u.s. abandoned the kurds who fought isis on america's behalf. the president agreed to pull back u.s. troops after a sunday phone call with turkey's president. yesterday, mr. trump called the invasion a bad idea. republican senator rand paul is backing president trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria. the kentucky lawmaker who ran against president trump in the 2016 election has become a supporter of his foreign policy. senator paul's new book is called "the case against socialism". he writes about u.s. politics including 2020 presidential contender senator bernie sanders. senator paul joins us now for

his first television interview about the book. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> let me start with syria, if i can. in a report from syria earlier in this broadcast, charlie dagget said kurdish fighters feel abandoned and betrayed. have we left ourself in a verbal position? >> initially when president trump decided to go in, he said our goal was to defeat isis. i think we've achieved that goal. many keep shifting the goalposts. lindsey graham said now we're going to stay until iran -- good luck. that could be a long time. think about what we're talking about. we're talking about 50 soldiers. what kind of war do you go to with 50 soldiers? we're moving 50 soldiers out of the onslaught of tens of thousands of turkish troops. it's a smart thing to do and reminds me of beirut.

peti putting 300 people in a be barracks and it's a suicide bombing. and then we're drug into a greater war. who are we going to fight? are we going to fight turkey, the kurds, assad, the russians, iranians? the whole thing is a mess. >> the kurds have been good allies. >> what we need is not 50 soldiers fighting. we need a group to sit down and hammer out peace. i think the kurds are mechanore likely t try to find peace now that they are going to have to fight to find peace. maybe we have been impeding these talk. >> senator, if you clarify your position on impeachment before we get to the book. do you think it was appropriate for president trump to solicit foreign help in the 2020 campaign or do you think it was inappropriate but just not impeachable? >> i think the american people want everybody tbe treated equally. and so i think when they see joe biden doing similar -- similar accusations, joe biden

threatened their aid if they didn't fire a prosecutor that was looking into a company where hunter biden was making $50,000 a month. if that's going on and democrat senators are also threatening aid, now they're saying president trump threatened the aid t sounds like everybody is threatening ukraine's aid over ukraine doing what they want them to do. if you want to be equal, if you want to impeach president trump, they should have impeached joe biden as well for similar activity. >> is it wrong or isn't it? >> i think it's not incorrect or wrong -- >> it's okay for the president -- >> no, let me finish. aid we give to other countries should be contingent upon behavior and whether or not we should have ukraine trying to eradicate corruption, yes. >> so this was specifically about -- well, i don't know. ask the american people. >> i'm asking you. you're a senator. >> i know, but ask the american people do you think $50,000 a month hunter biden was getting might be corrupt? >> you were running for president in '16. would you have done this?

>> i think everybody has different ways they would approach things, but -- >> sir, you. >> well, the thing is now we're getting down to whether or not it's personality and how he reacted in a phone call. do you impeach people because he has a more direct way of approaching? >> it's not a question of impeachment. the question is, is it right or wrong to ask a foreign leader to help in an election with, by the way, nearly 40$400 million in a hanging over his head. >> would you say we can't invest corruption if they have to be a political figure. >> he wasn't speaking to broader corruption. he was speaking -- he used that word, but he spoke specifically about mr. biden. >> if hunter biden's father was an industrial magnet in the united states, you'd say it's okay that he asked to investigate hunter biden. just because he was a politician you say he's somehow involved in politician. >> he's more than a politician. he's the democratic front runner. >> the i think the chances of joe biden being the nominee are almost -- >> that's the -- >> i would say do american

people want corruption to be looked at equally? they want equal protection under the law. if we're going to say what president trump did was wrong, we're going to have to say what joe biden did was wrong. >> you're not answering my question. was it wrong. >> i'm trying. >> was it wrong? >> four democratic senators came forward and said hey, if you don't keep investigating trump, we're going to get -- vote against your aid. everybody, republican or democrat are doing the exact same thing, so how can we say it's impeachable on one side and excuse joe biden on the other side. >> notably absent is the answer to the question whether you think it's appropriate, however i do want to get to the book because socialism is also in the news. you write that people misunderstand it. they throw the term out there but when you ask them to define it it's a problematic thing. these polls to show support are kind of misleading. >> i think a lot of the next generation, the young people in the country may have forgotten that socialism has been almost invariably associated with

genocide and famine. socialism has evolved into authoritarianism. we want scanned ydinavianism. we make the point that scan nafna -- scandinavia is not socialist. the big lie you're getting that that rich people pay for it, the top 1% will pay for it. that's not the way they do it. the working class prepare a huge burden of 25% sales tax for everybody. you have an income tax of 60% that starts at $60,000, so they do have a lot of so hi called free stuff, socialist kind of stuff, welfare stuff in scandinavia, but the middle class pay for it. nothing is for free. they have enormous taxes, so it's a false allure when they say the top 1% will pay for this. it's not enough work. the middle class has took taxed. >> you also talk a lot in your book about finding common

ground. how do you do that? how do you do that when you look at the rhetoric that's happening and even the position that you've taken with not being able to answer a question directly. >> here is the thing. i was at columbia last night and they asked me what are thing you like about bernie sanders and the interesting thing he and i worked together on a lot of things. for example, on war, whether or not the presidt should be allowed to go to war in iran without congress voting on it. >> and while you or bernd might be able to do that, how do you make sure that the president of the united states and others who are in even more powerful positions find that common ground? and have you actually spoken to the president in reference to syria? >> i have not since the decision to move 50 troops around, i have not talked to the president. i talked to the president about two weeks ago and every couple weeks i do talk to the president. what i would say is i think there's a misreporting of acrimony in our country. there is's lot of acrimony on the internet and on television. when you go to washington, you'll be surprised to find bernie and i get along. i've been to his office.

he's been to my office. we talk about things like criminal justice reform. we talk about trying not to go to war without a declaration. we've worked together on trying toen the war in yemen. i don't like socialism. i think it's a disaster. when we talk we don't actually bring up socialism because we disagree on that, but we bring up foreign policy and we get on just fine. >> there are a lot of things that socialism would help with like health care and all the rest. maybe are other issues in socialism to get to thosens. >> fine the money. we're about a trillion dollars short trying to do the stuff you want from government. if you want more from government, tell me where to fine the money. >> it is all about choices. senator rand paul, thank you very much. the case against socialism goes on sale october 15th. former national security adviser susan rice was once front runner to be president obama's secretary of state. she take

manuel bojorquez is in mexico beach, florida, the town michael hit the hardest. manuel, how's it doing today? >> reporter: well, good morning. you can see some of these destroyed buildings have barely been touched. but nearby, there are some signs of new life and homes under construction. though mexico beach still lacks many of the basics. to this day, this community does not have a gas station, a bank, or even a grocery store. the category-five hurricane barrelled into mexico beach, florida, last october. a year later, reminders of the deadly storm are everywhere. so a year ago that looked exactly the same? nothing changed? >> nothing. >> reporter: al cathey runs the local hardware store and has been mayor for 15 years. >> when 75% of your city is destroyed, things aren't going to happen quickly in a year. >> reporter: there is clearly

progress, but people hearsay insurance payouts have been slow. and dealing with government red tape is frustrating. 1,200 lived here before the storm. now, it's just around 400. >> it's been a lot of lows in the very beginning, the last six months we -- you know, got a little click in our heels. >> reporter: but in nearby panama city, hundreds still live in fema trailer parks more than 2,400 bay district of columbia schoolkids are listed as displaced or homeless. and tyndall air force base, a major employer, has spent $700 million on repairs, but still has more to do. >> i was like -- >> reporter: trudy white and her husband relocated to florida after losing everything in hurricane katrina. their cajun restaurant on panama city beach avoided a direct hit from michael, but many of her employees weren't so lucky. what has been the biggest hurdle to recovery here? >> keeping the employees. a lot of people lost their homes in town, and they had to move away because they didn't have any place to live.

the people who were able to stay looking for a new place to live, the rent went sky high for everybody. >> reporter: back on mexico beach, jessica schwark is general manager at mango marley's, which is still operating out of a food truck. she says the tide here has begun to turn. >> when i would see people at first, we would cry and hug. it's still nice to see them, but it's a little more normal. you know, we're -- it's sad, but this is kind of just our new normal. >> reporter: this is the new normal. >> yeah. most days we don't even think about the hurricane really. >> reporter: and despite that progress, clearly there is a long way to go here. before hurricane michael, between houses, apartments, and condos, there were 2,700 unit here. now, barely 500 of those are livable. tony? >> so glad we're sticking with the story. incredible pictures there. thank you so much. britain's royal air force is giving blind teenagers the opportunity to fly.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's time to bring you some of the stories that are a -- our "talk of the table." our "talk of the table." >> they are. >> we bring a story to share with you and share with each other. >> that's right. >> you go first. >> all right. the children's tv show "sesame street" is addressing the issue of addiction for the first time. a muppet named carly is in foster care due to her mother battling the problem, in one clip elmo is trying to understand the issue. take a look. >> how come carly's mommy had to go away? >> well, son, carly's mommy has a kind of sickness, and she had to get some help. >> sickness?

oh -- look, elmo has the sniffles -- >> no. it's not that kind of sickness. carly's mommy has a disease called addiction. addiction makes people feel like they need a grown-up drink called alcohol or another kind of drug to feel okay. >> "sesame street" said data shows 5.7 million children under the age of 11 live in households with a parent, with a substance use disorder. so i think this is so important to be able to target young children, let them know they're not alone. i mean, even the fact that carly's a foster child, there's well over 600,000 children i believe that are in the foster care system at any given year. so -- >> "sesame street's" always been great about this. about -- >> very progressive to be able to tackle that in a delicate way. >> talking about real stuff in a way kids can relate to. >> now it's a resource for when people find the problem comes to their household if it does. >> good job, "sesame street." here's mine -- a new survey suggests that for the first time teenagers in the u.s. are

spending more time on youtube than on netflix. this comes out of a fall, 2019, survey by piper jaffrey. the teens reported spending 37% of their daily video consumption on youtube. they spent 35% on netflix. so youtube has surpassed netflix for the first time. analysts attributed the popularity to its diverse content options like music videos, video streaming, and influencer videos. they asked teens about what they liked in a whole lot of categories. and the top -- the top priority was, surprise, surprise, food. the number-one restaurant, chick-fil-a. >> very interesting. >> i love chick-fil-a. >> there you go. >> gayle -- gayle would have some words for popeye's. it's interesting. teens do what they call the lean-in viewing when you're like this as opposed to the lean-back viewing, a netflix thing. >> i've seen that. at my home, my kids are like

there's a lot of netflix watching. >> it's free. >> yes. we're on youtube. we might be driving this. call piper jaffray. thanks. i'll tell you about something else -- this is literally the talk of my table in my household. you know, when there's breaking news, that is a predicament for parents in the news business. they've got to somehow juggle home life and the -- and the life on camera or in the pages of a newspaper. and that's what happened yesterday. an unexpected moment on tv for a correspondent on msnbc. courtney cuby was reporting on breaking news when she had a visitor. take a look. >> reporter: their concern is that they want -- their concern is that they want to have -- excuse me, my kids are here. live television. >> courtney later explained that breaking news in syria didn't line up with preschool drop-off. so he and his twin brother were there with me. i think it's beautiful. i love -- hey, me, me, mom, look at my hand. i need your attention. the network shared the video on twitter with the hash tags

#msnbcmoms, and i should point out that i'm married to an msnbc -- >> you are. >> she is a working mom. the clip has been viewed more than two million times. i think it's great. it shows parents doing what parents do. we are juggling. >> i love it. >> every day. >> love it. >> all right. cool. speaking of very real we have former national security adviser susan rice. she told us she feels or democracy is under assault, and the attack is coming from within. she was responding to the president's call for ukraine and china to investigate the biden family. that was last week. this week, we are talking to rice about her more than 25 years in public service including as u.s. ambassador to the united nations. we met her across the street from her old offices in new york. she's got a memoir called "tough love: my story of the things worth fighting for," published by simon and schuster, a division of cbs. and rice says she wrote the book right now as opposed to later to take back control of her life and career and define it in her terms after feeling targeted in what was one of the most bruising political fights in memory.

>> i was close to president obama. and he was a target. i'm an african-american woman. i don't take craf of pple. and i'm confident in my own skin. putting that together, put it in a political context of a campaign, and maybe i was an attractive target. >> susan rice says she may never know why she was swept into the controversy surrounding the 2012 benghazi terror attacks. accused by republicans of lying about a deadly assault on the u.s. embassy in libya. >> i don't trust her. the reason i don't trust her is because i think she knew better, and if she didn't know better she shouldn't be the voice of america. >> remember the context, right. we tragically four americans including ambassador christopher stevens who was a colleague and friend of mine. for better or for worse, i agreed to be the administration representative on those five sunday shows days after that.

>> do you regret doing it? >> yeah. >> reporter: the intelligence she shared on those shows turned out to be wrong. rice, who had been a front-runner to be the next secretary of state, felt pushed to withdraw. so you regret going on the show in part because it stopped you which is to have other people define me for me. >> reporter: but what really hurts, rice says, is the toll the benghazi episode took on her then-9-year-old daughter. >> she was scared. she was seeing images of men coming out of the walls at her. we didn't know what else to characterize these as than hallucinations.

we took her to all kind of doctors and were left with the conclusion that in all likelihood this was a stress reaction to what i was going through. and we as parents, i regret, i think, failed to understand that, you know, a tv in the background that we are tuning out, little kid may not. >> reporter: that would make me as a parent irate. i mean, that kind of impact on my child. >> you could say i felt the same. >> reporter: not that conflict or capitol hill were new to susan rice. her father, emmett, was a governor of the federal reserve, while her mother, lois, rose to a senior job at the college board. but while they were washington's elite by day, by night they were at each other's throat. >> screaming and yelling. and the throwing of objects got, you know, pretty frightening for me and my baby brother. >> reporter: you write that your family was burning down. why did you run into the fire? >> i didn't know anything else. >> reporter: rice not only survived, she thrived. catapulting to stanford and oxford and then the white house. first as a member of bill clinton's national security

you get knocked down, you stay down or get back up. >> i also asked if she'd want to serve as secretary of state if the next president is a democrat, and she told me she would be open to it. >> it's so interesting to hear her talk about her daughter. and you realize the human cost of the toxic political dialogue that we have when you hear stories like that. >> yeah. >> that's just devastating. >> absolutely. and you know, i want to say, i knew her public persona which is pretty tough and gruff. i knew she was a policy expert. this memoir is very good as a family story. >> yeah. >> families are complicated, hers morthan most. she came out of it. >> we saw that picture of her parents, and we all commented, what a great looking couple. your next line was -- that wasn't always so great. >> not how it looks. >> it humanizes her. you look at officials like that and forget they have families, they have backgrounds, but she's overcome a lot. >> it's survivable. that's the thing. family chaos, you can get through it. >> she's had a remarkable career. >> appreciate the conversation. tomorrow we are broadcasting live from 1200 feet above new
