7:32 am
allegations of nonconsensual sex. his representatives had no comment to cbs news about the proposed deal. jody cantor of the "new york times" helped break the story and reported news of this settlement. good morning. >> good morning. >> i think the most startling thing in this deal is, first of all, weinstein won't have to pay his accusers out of his own pocket and he's not admitting any wrongdoing? >> exactly. everybody's focused on that criminal trial that's going to start next month, but this is in a way just as important because most women with accusations against weinstein can't bring him to criminal court. it was sexual harassment they were alleging which is illegal but not criminal or there's a statute of limitations issues. so this is the venue for most of the women to bring their accusations forward in court and weinstein is essentially able to sweep it away in a single stroke
7:33 am
without paying anything to the victims out of his own pocket or admitting wrongdoing. >> what are you hearing from the accusers? >> it's very controversial among them. they're really unsettled. some of them say this is the best they could get. this was a bankruptcy proceeding. they lost some of the early battles on this lawsuit. on the other hand, some of them are outraged and feeling like they had no choice. >> times up, the group founded in the wake of the weinstein allegations, called the deal a symptom of a problematic broken system. what kind of effect could this deal have on other cases out there? >> we don't know yet the effect on other cases but i think the huge effect it's going to have is given the weinstein story means so much to so many people and has had so much cultural consequence, this helps answer the question of will weinstein

7:35 am
adds to is this sort of building sense as we get into the trial of how is the law going to treat all of these accusations? on the one hand, the evidence against weinstein from women, the evidence we've documented in journalism is overwhelming. so many people, so much evidence. on the other hand, how is the law actually going to respond to that. >> it will be interesting. we talked to his lawyer who said bad behavior is not a crime and i think sometimes forget that. it will be interesting to see how this all turns out in january. the parents of a british teenager killed by an american driver are back in this country and they are still fighting for justice. ahead in an exclusive interview why they're ready for legal action in an american court. and a reminder to describe to our podcast. cbs morning news on the go. hear the days top stories in less than 20 minutes every weekday morning. we'll be right back. man: sneezes

in an exclusive interview, the family of a british teenager killed in a car crash in the uk explain why they are now ready to sue the woman who caused it in the united states. 19-year-old harry dunn was struck and killed in august by a car driven by anne scoolas. she's the wife of an american official. she left britain in the middle of the investigation claiming diplomatic immunity. imtiaz tyab spoke with dunn's parents last night, very late last night, after they arrived in this country. you did the interview at 1:00 in the morning. >> we did.
7:41 am
>> bravo to you that you're sitting here. >> thank you, it was they struggle. >> what is their goal here? >> it's pretty extraordinary. as you say, the family has just arrived in the u.s. to pursue this civil case. but really this case is extraordinary, and now an extraordinary legal precedent that they hope to use, the dunn family's lawyer plans to rely on ancient english common law dating back to 1774 which says even though the offense may have been committed in one country, the accused can face charge in another. now as ever, for the dunns, this isn't just about justice. it's about closure. >> we're in limbo. we're trying our hardest to get this resolved for harry and get the truth out there. >> reporter: almost four months after their son harry was killed while riding his motorcycle, tim ready to meet with their legal team in washington. it must be exhausting.
7:42 am
>> it is exhausting. it's -- it's 24/7. but as a family, we feel this is the right way -- we feel it's the way we have to go. >> reporter: anne scoolas had just left the air force post where her husband was stationed when she hit dunn while driving on the wrong side of the road. her legal team previously told cbs news she had no time to react before the crash, and that she cooperated with local investigators. >> she needs to still face what she's done to us and take some punishment for that. >> reporter: the family has yet to meet sacoolas face to face. they came close in october when they met president trump at the white house. sacoolas was waiting to meet them in a room nearby. >> it was -- it was quite bizarre really looking back on it now. thankfully as a family, we discussed many scenarios, including the most bizarre and
7:43 am

8:01 am
lately? >> yes, and i am 100% -- [ laughter ] >> where are you going with that? we got a lot to discuss. this has never happened before. the mayor and lizzo at the same time in the room. i love it. we got a lot to discuss with mayor pete and lizzo coming up. but first, eye opener at 8:00. it is another historic day on capitol hill. with the initial vote on two articles of impeachment against president trump. 40 committee members gave opening statements last night. the true debate underway today. >> investigators now say that the two shooters were a couple who had possible ties to what some people consider a hate group. >> this recovery option gives family members a glimmer of hope. officials hope that the volcano will quiet down just enough to let them recover the bodies of those who didn't make it. >> royal caribbean says its hearts go out to the family. khloe's mother, who is a prosecutor herself, says the family never wanted charges to
8:02 am
be filed against him. >> now, what's at stake here is more than who gets to run the country. it's about what kind of country this will be and whether britain stays in or leaves the european union. >> 17 major screw ups on every level of the fbi when it comes to these filings of the fisa application against president trump and carter page. >> in each of the four applications. >> one application omitted the fact that carter page was a government informant. one relied too much on the steele dossier, and one of them was just investigate this guy cause, yeah. >> welcome back to cbs "this morning." i'm still distracted by lizzo and mayor pete. so much fun. set to take another historic step later today. here's a look inside the room where the judiciary committee is expected to send articles of peach against president trump to the full house. nancy is ounds th
8:03 am
nancy outside that hearing room right now. can you take us through the timeline, please? >> sure. all day long, gayle, this committee will be debating these two articles of impeachment. and at the end, they'll take a pair of votes. one on abuse of power. the other on obstruction of congress. in their opening statements last night, democrats argued that this president violated his oath, threatened national security, and stonewalled congress. while republicans called the process a sham with a predetermined outcome based on speculation. now, if this 40-member committee passes the articles today, those articles will then advance to the house floor. and a full house vote is expected next week. possibly, as early as tuesday. democrats tell us they do have the votes to impeach president trump. from there, the case would go to the senate for a trial. majority leader mitch mcconnell says he expects that trial to begin in january. exactly how long that trial will
8:04 am
last is anyone's guess. but republicans have been telling us recently that they prefer a shorter trial that would allow them to move on to other things as quickly as possible. >> nancy, thank you. this is the final day for democratic presidential candidates to qualify for their next debate one week from today in los angeles. so far, only seven candidates have done so, including south bend, indiana, mayor, pete buttigieg. he is surging in recent polling in iowa. he is in a tight race with the top candidates and a new poll in new hampshire has him leading the field. they are, of course, the first two states that will hold contests to pick a nominee. mayor pete buttigieg is with us at the table this morning. mayor. welcome. thanks for being here. >> good to be with you. >> as we mentioned, the house is set to vote on impeachment of the president. but the president's expected to be acquitted in the senate. so how do you think this impeachment process, is it helping or hurting the democratic race for president?
8:05 am
>> i think it's process of such importance that you can't think about it in terms of the politics. sometimes there's a situation so grave, constitutionally, that you just have to let it play out. and then let the chips fall where they may politically. now, when i'm on the ground talking to voters in places like iowa, south carolina, and in between, i'm mostly hearing voters asking this basic question of their presidential candidates. and it's this. how is my life going to be different? if you're president versus one of the others. and our message is about preparing for an america after trump. because by definition, we're running not only to be the nominee capable of defeating donald trump. but also, being ready to lead the era that is coming next. and we're going to have huge challenges as a country both in terms of policy making sure that we have healthcare and an economy that works for all of us. and just in terms of unifying a country that will be even more divided on that day than it is today. >> well, in order to do that, first you have to get the n nomination so you can get in office and make the changes you
8:06 am
would like to make. and one of the sticking points people always say about you is difficulty in attracting black voters. you know, and no candidate in recent history has won without the support of black voters. why do you think you're doing so poorly with the black voters? and what are you doing to change that? >> well, we're reaching out to african-american voters in particular in the south. where what we're seeing is there's no more negative view of me. but a lot more folks say they don't know me to begin with. >> how do you think you got in this position to begin with, mayor pete? >> well, what i'm finding is a lot of voters, in particular black voters i talk to, feel like they've not only been often abused by the republican party. but sometimes taken for granted by the democratic party. and that means when you show up and you're new on the scene as oh posed to having had years or even decades in washington, you got a lot more work to do to earn that trust. when you talk in particular to african-american women who have been the backbone of the party in so many ways, really propelled a lot of our most important victories. >> yeah. key voting.
8:07 am
>> and a lot of skepticism of the new person showing up. but i welcome that challenge because it's critically important not only to win but to deserve to win. >> so when you talk to those black voters, and i think you're at 2% right now in south carolina, when you have those conversations to get that 2% up to 20% and beyond, what can you say in your record? what can you point to to say, look, i've helped the lives of black americans? >> what i point is the things we have done in our community that line up with the things i'm proposing we do as a country. for example, we got a lot of ch challenges around housing right now. we've got families that have been red lined into certain neighborhoods. once those neighborhoods become desirable, they get gentrified right back out of them. in south bend, i directed resources to low income and mainly minority neighborhoods to improve the quality of life there. when we look at the -- the national picture for african-americans, we see a wealth gap and an income gap. we need economic empowerment. at home, we work to make sure
8:08 am
that we reduced unemployment. reduced poverty. and had a lot to show for it. so part of it's about my record. part of it's about my plans. but what i'm finding is a lot of times when i'm speak tog voters, before they want to hear anything about your plans, they want to know what's in your heart. and so the biggest thing i have to convey is how my makeup, my being, my faith teaches me my responsibility to make sure that i'm lifting up those who have so often been excluded in our society and politics. >> many of your democratic rivals are not taking big-dollar donations. why have you not adopted the same policy? >> we are getting ready for the fight of our lives. we're going up against donald trump and his allies, who i believe raised $125 million just in the last quarter in order to stay in power. if somebody wants to contribute to my campaign, to support us in taking on donald trump, then we're going to need to bring everything we've got to that fight. i have 700,000 donors. i believe the average donation
8:09 am
to my campaign is $32. and i'm proud. >> release a name of your big bundlers. when do you intend to do that? >> so we've already done i think for the first and second quarter. they're putting together the information for the third quarter. and remember, every single contribution to my campaign is made public. the person who made it, what they do for a living. and this is about making sure that we are ready to compete. but i make exactly one promise to anybody who makes a donation to the campaign. whether they come to an event to see me speak. or whether they go to peteforamerica.com and send in five bucks. the promise is this. i'm going to take that contribution and use it to defeat donald trump. >> i know you heard mayor bloomberg who told us all the other day all the candidates who are running so far, donald trump would eat 'em up. that includes you. what's your response to that? >> here's what it's going to take to beat donald trump. first of all, it would be good to have somebody actually from the industrial midwest. the kinds of communities this president appealed to.
8:10 am
secondly, i think it might be a good idea to have somebody who's actually from the middle class. i may be the only person on that debate stage who is not a millionaire. and i think it's really important right now to have somebody who is a little more in touch with the day to day lives and concerns of americans. and i'm also welcoming the opportunity to challenge this president's military chest thumping. this president thinking that it's somehow pro-military to overthrow military justice in order to benefit a war criminal. i'm happy to talk about and debate the fact that i was packing my bags for afghanistan while he was working on season 7 of celebrity apprentice. >> you have talked about a new generation of leadership and if you became president, you would be the youngest president in history. and you don't have a majority of young voters in this country, according to polls. is there a way in which you're out of touch with your own generation? >> no, but it is certainly the case that often younger candidates tend to attract more support from older voters. but we are building a coalition that's going to draw voters from every part of this country.
8:11 am
now, certainly -- >> you had 3 and 4% among people under the age of 44 in south carolina. it's almost as bad as minority voters. what explains that gap? >> look. there's going to be a continued process to earn support across the coalition. but it's certainly the case that many of the younger voters are more attracted to, for example, you know, the sanders campaign. definitely has more young voters. i was a big fan of bernie sanders when i was 18 years old. it's also the case that we are pulling together a coalition to talk about issues like climate. to act on issues like climate and guns and the economy. that the longer you're planning to be here, the more you have at stake. and young voters have to mobilize in a way that hasn't happened before. if we're going to be able to defeat this president. >> would you forgive all student debt like some of your rivals? >> no, i'm not going to promise we can just waive away all student debt. what i will say, and again, this is personal for me because one of the reasons why i am literally the least-wealthy candidate running for president right now is that i'm married to
8:12 am
a teacher. as a household, we've got six-figure student debt right now so i get it. but that doesn't mean i can just say we're going to make it all go away and it's all free now. what we should do is expand programs for debt relief through public service. we should contemplate removing the student debt of those for-profit, shady colleges that would never have stood up to scrutiny in the department of education to begin with. and make college more affordable on the front end. so what i'm proposing is that we make college tuition-free. public college. for the first 80% of americans. if you're between that 80 and 90%, over $100,000, it will be a sliding scale. if you're fortunate enough to be in that top 10%, i still wish you well. but i think you ought to pay your own tuition. and that's just a difference i have with some of the other candidates who think that even the child of the billionaire should have their college tuition debt paid -- or their college tuition -- paid completely by taxpayers. >> let's talk about other candidates because they're saying we got to go. if you couldn't vote for yourself, who would you vote for? >> i'm not going to name check
8:13 am
any of my competitors. >> go ahead. go ahead, mayor pete. give us a name check. >> i am proud to be part of this field. this is an extraordinary field. talented. diverse. we've been at it for almost a year now. >> when you look at a vp candidate, are you looking for someone that has -- that's maybe a little older and has more experience? or does that not factor into your thinking at this time? >> the number one criterion for a vp candidate is this is a very grave decision. i mean, look, before we even get to the voting. i mean, kidding apart. you know, this is somebody who would have to take over the country in the event that i'm killed or unable to serve. and it's the one decision you make as a candidate that's really a presidential decision because the whole country has to live with it. having said that, whether it's the vp or the cabinet, i also believe that balance is very important. diversity is extremely important. it's one of the reasons i've committed to having a cabinet that's at least 50% women. not only because it's the right thing to do. but because we'll make better decisions. and i think that balance is crucial whenever you're building out. >> it does seem women make
8:14 am
everything better i have to say. who is your favorite republican, mayor pete, before you go? just one name. >> dick luger, senator from indiana. wonderful person. i wish we had more like him. >> mayor, thank you very much for being here. an fo good thursday morning. we're starting off with cloudy skies and areas of fog. catching a bit of break from the rain. maybe a isolated shower this morning. this afternoon showers will be scattered in nature so light showers are possible as we head through the afternoon and even. unsettled weather pattern. 61 san francisco. 65 for san jose.

8:31 am
the suspect to the ground. he's pleaded not guilty to charges, including armed robbery, assault, and battery on a police officer. i wonder how people can plead not guilty when we see you robbing the place, an active crime. but i thought the officer was cool, sort of sitting there, looking at him for a couple -- a beat before he pulled the gun and said that's enough. >> looked like he'd done this before. >> yes, both of them. bravo to the officer. the store clerk is grateful. >> yeah. >> very well done. >> anthony? >> my story is bears linebacker ka hi l mack played secret exacta to hundreds of -- santa to hundreds of families in his hometown paying off layaway accounts at a walmart in ft. pierce, florida. the reported cost about $80,000. walmart thanked the foundation last week for its generosity.

finger on. and we always talked about it like that weird thing that magic that happens in someone's career. that is what happened. there was a moment where somehow as culture ebbed and flowed, i caught on to that wave and everyone connected with me. you can never choose when the moment comes. >> it's your attitude, too, and your outsize personality, too, don't you think? >> i got a big-old personality. >> so i mean, look at you now, it is very hard to believe that at one point before you were a successful touring musician, you were living in your car, playing music for food. is that true? so how -- >> funny -- >> how did you get out of that? to the person watching this on their phone catching wildfire from the doughnut stop in their car, how do you get to the moment where you are today? >> that's the key moment, through. you have to move forward. i had so many moments where i wanted to give up. i was like, why am i doing this? this is so hard. >> you wanted to give up? >> twice in my life.
