7:04 am
president in u.s. history after andrew johnson and bill clinton to face a trial now in the senate. the president was surrounded by thousands of his supporters in battle creek, michigan, when the results of the votes were announced. >> it doesn't really feel like we're being impeached. [ cheers ] the country is doing better than ever before. we did nothing wrong. >> at the heart of his impeachment is an allegation the president used the power of his office to pressure a foreign government to investigate a political opponent. republicans say the charges are phony, while democrats insist they had to hold the president to account. >> december 18th, a great day for the constitution of the united states. a sad one for america that the president's reckless activities necessitated us, our having to introduce articles of

7:08 am
mcconnell says that he is going to speak on the senate floor about impeachment this morning and that he is going to to meet with his democratic counterpart, chuck schumer, by the end of the week. what is clear here this morning, tony, is that while one battle over the vote in the house has ended, the next battle has already begun. >> nancy, thank you so much. president trump is back in the white house after last night's rally in the battleground state of michigan. he waited for the house vote, then made the second-longest speech of his presidency. ben tracy is at the white house for us. ben, good morning. how is the president responding? >> reporter: good morning. that was quite a barn-burner of a speech last night. it's clear president trump did not want to be impeached. now that he is, his campaign is planning to use it to raise a lot of money and keep the base fired up. it is hoping to make history by getting an impeached president
7:09 am

7:10 am
>> this is a political suicide march for the democrat party. have you seen my polls the last four weeks? [ cheers ] >> reporter: the president is publicly shrugging off impeachment. sources here at the white house say that he cares a lot about what impeachment means for his legacy and that in particular he hates the idea that his name will forever be used in the same sentence as bill clinton's. gayle? >> thank you so much. senate minority leader, that's chuck schumer, joins us now from the capitol. he voted against president clinton's impeachment 21 years ago today. senator, thank you so much for joining us. let's look at the big picture for a second if we can. the democrats voted mostly along party lines. the senate is expected to do the same. we keep hearing and seeing that the public is tired of the process. how do you convey to a very weary public that this is based
7:11 am
on principle and not partisanship? what's your strategy? >> impeachment is a very, very somber process. >> exactly. >> it's one of the few powers, a somber, a serious, and an important power to stop an overreaching president. this is no doubt this president has overreached. he's the most overreaching president we've had. the senate has always been lodged with the responsibility to be impartial jurors and judge this. in previous impeachments, that has happened. and so we want to make it that way again. i think the american people are behind us. for instance, i've asked leader mcconnell for four witnesses, witnesses who actually saw what happened and can speak directly to the charges brought against the president. there's a lot of good evidence the house has come up with, but this would be better -- >> but -- >> wait, 64% of the american people, of republicans and 72%
7:12 am
of the american people say there ought to be witnesses. and so we are going to ask for those. that is fair. >> senator, can you get the votes -- >> we cannot -- yes. >> can you get the votes to make that happen? can you get the votes to make that happen? >> you know, in a process like this, justice and history weigh on shoulders in different ways. and our republican colleagues, leader mcconnell may be totally partisan. he may wish to make this impeachment into a sham, this trial -- into a sham, but there are many republican colleagues, many are wondering about this, thinking about this. and this kind of serious consequence weighs on shoulders in different ways. >> senator -- >> in the next few weeks as they go only and think about the seriousness, and there is no good answer as to why we shouldn't have witnesses -- mcconnell has rants -- ranted and raved but hasn't had a single direct answer why there shouldn't be witnesses. i think we will get witnesses. one more point here, what these witnesses will say.
7:13 am
they could -- you know, they're all appointees of president trump. they could be exculpatory. and that -- so baseball it if they are. the truth should come out, and we are pushing to get the truth. not a sham trial where nothing new is learned. >> senator on, that point, mitch mcconnell has said openly he is not an impartial juror. this is a political process -- >> yes -- >> can you stands here today and say that you are impartial? that your mind is open? >> yes. and that's why we're asking for these witnesses. as i said, these witnesses could well issue statements that are exculpatory. >> mitch mcconnell -- >> we must get the truth. and leader mcconnell is hiding the truth. you know what the american people are asking in reference to gayle's question? what is the president hiding? what is leader mcconnell hiding? if they don't want these witnesses who are directly on the case to come before us. >> mitch mcconnell has accused you of not meeting with him and
7:14 am
negotiating through the press. you've certainly been on tv a lot lately. when do you plan to meet with him, and what do you hope to get out of it? >> well, two weeks ago -- mitch mcconnell again has twisted the truth. two weeks ago i said, i'm ready to meet whenever you are. he hasn't asked. instead, he's done several things long before i went public. he went on "sean hannity," not a very private act, and said he is going to take orders from the president. he issued his own plan to his republican caucus and publicly. so of course we countered with the public plan. but people should judge what we're asking for on the merits. and the merits have no good argument against having witnesses and documents. name one. why don't you folks name me one. i haven't heard one from a single republican. you can't. >> senator, two democrats -- there were two democratic defections in the house vote to impeach. are you expecting any defections in the senate? >> look, our caucus is unified behind getting these documents. and our caucus is going to give
7:15 am
this a serious look. most of our members have not come to conclusions the way leader mcconnell has. and so yes, i expect that my colleagues regard these charges as very serious. they're going to hear the evidence. hopefully we'll get that evidence with witnesses and documents. and everyone will render a decision. >> all right. senator schumer, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you so much. >> if there isn't enough going on in politics, democratic presidential candidates will hold their sixth debate tonight in los angeles. ed o'keefe is there. ed, we expect to hear much about impeachment tonight? >> reporter: oh, very likely, anthony. you know, now campaign 2020 will be the first where a challenger is running against an incumbent impeached president. here in los angeles tonight, we're going to see fewer candidates on stage than we've seen in the past. just seven have qualified. this will be the first debate where there isn't a black or latino candidate on stage. that's because candidates like
7:16 am
cory booker and julian castro failed to meet the polling and fund-raising thresholds. the candidates who are on stage tonight, as we said, are likely to get questions about the impeachment vote. but also about other issues more directly affecting the voters. that's in part because voting -- polling has shown that democrats overwhelmingly support impeaching the president but also want to hear about how it they would defeat him next november. meanwhile, we spoke with voters across the country ahead of the impeachment vote. as you might expect, the opinions were varied. take a listen. >> it's time that he's held accountable. he's not above the constitution. >> i see this whole thing as a distraction for the president to get things done on the world stage. >> i think he had it coming, but i don't think politically it was a smart move. >> completely 100% bogus. he will be vindicated. >> reporter: now the impeachment trial could take five of the presidential candidates who are also senators off the campaign trail for a few weeks as they sit as jurors in that trial. they're all vowing to attends. but that means other candidates who aren't in the senate like
7:17 am
joe biden or pete buttigieg, might have iowa and new hampshire all to themselves for a few weeks. a potentially big advantage. tony? >> thank you so much. in other news, a federal appeals court has struck down a key provision of the affordable care act. a panel of judges from the fifth circuit in louisiana says requiring most americans to have insurance is, here's a word you've been hearing a lot, unconstitutional. they left it to a lower court in texas to decide if the rest of the law can stand. the case, which was originally brought by 18 republican attorneys general, lines up with president trump's campaign promise to get rid of the affordable care act entirely. democrats are vowing to take this to the supreme court, and that means a final ruling would likely come after the 2020 election. at least one person is dead, and dozens hurt after a massive pileup in central pennsylvania. the crash is being blamed on a snow squall which slammed the northeast yesterday. it force officials to -- forced officials to shut down a large stretch of interstate 80.
7:18 am
here's what the system looked like as it rolled over new york city. a squall is a fast-moving storm that also includes high winds. the storm also brought near whiteout conditions to southern new england. bitter cold temperatures are expected to make for dangerous conditions in the days ahead. >> did you see it? i was in my office and somebody said, gayle, look out the windows. you went "whoa." i've never seen that before. >> everyone got a snow squall alert. the phones started erupting. >> we're lucky did t didn't last long. the plane is stolen on the tarmac of an international airport. why police were surprised whether they found pout who was inside the cockpit. good thursday morning,

7:32 am
protect kids from things like choking hazards or misleading age recommendations. that's the good news. however, we found some items sold on line that don't meet those standards and certainly could put your kids at risk. aaron founder of crazy aaron's thinking puttynesses a business dedicated to fun dealing with apparent knockoffs sold on line is anything but. >> it's sort of like a game of whack-a- mole. you hit one down, and another comes back up. >> reporter: he says after he put his products up for sale on amazon back in 2010, similar products quickly followed. >> this is all of the different product that we found in the market that looked surprisingly like crazy aaron's thinking putty. >> reporter: why does this make you so angry? >> every single one of our unique products goes through a litany of safety testing. when someone's knocking off a product, they're not spending that money. it's very difficult for customers to know did this product actually pass these tests. >> reporter: his biggest concern -- cheaper versions of his
7:33 am
magnetic putty which use magnets that are not in line with u.s. safety standards. >> the magnet needs to be of a certain size that it is extraordinarily unlikely that it could be swallowed. and also, limitations in regards to how strong the magnet can be. >> reporter: safety experts use this tube to check if pieces are small enough to create a choking hazard. while the magnets are too big to fit inside -- >> doesn't fit. >> reporter: this magnet from a product purchased on line -- fits right in. the other major concern is the magnet's strength. rebecca mund is with the toy association. a trade group representing u.s. businesses that design, produce, license, and deliver toys. >> the small magnets, if they're swallowed, they can really just cause a lot of problems in a child's digestive system. >> reporter: a 4-year-old boy reportedly had to have part of his intestines removed after swallowing small magnets from a different knockoff toy.
7:34 am
>> our children should not be the testing grounds for the toys. >> reporter: we purchased four products from third-party sellers through amazon and had them tested at an accredited lab. according to that look, all four samples failed safety tests. this wooden jigsaw puzzle marketed for kids as young as 1 included small objects that could be a choking hazard. these trucks broke during testing, exposing sharp points. these flashing l.e.d. rings separated, exposing the battery component. and the magnetic putty once advertised as amazon's choice cobb taped a -- contained a hazardous magnet, stronger than what u.s. safety standards allow. in a statement, jams wroamazon safety is a top priority. we require all products to comply with applicable laws and regulations and have tools to prevent unsafe products in our stores. they go on to say that when a concern arises they move quickly

to protect customers and work directly with sellers, brands, and government agencies. >> if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. >> reporter: the toy association says parents shopping on line should look for reputable sellers they know. >> dig into the product listing a little bit deeper. look at the reviews and the product description for typos, grammatical errors. >> reporter: but online retailers must do more to keep kids safe. >> i think we're doing everything that we can do from our perspective. but as long as these products continue to just ship in and the whack-a-mole game of sellers keeps going on, these products will remain on the market. >> we tried contacting the four companies who sell the toys we tested but only one got back to us. that's the one who sold the toy trucks. it told us products meet safety standards and pass u.s. safety tests -- get this, from a lab in china.
7:36 am
but it did not test for the defects we found in our test. an amazon spokesperson told us last night it is investigating all of the products in question. >> very interesting. worrying, as well. if you're a parent who thinks that they have purchased one of these counterfeit and potentially dangerous items, what do they do? >> good news is, you know, be alert about this. you want to check, you can check the return policy. you might be able to get your money back. alert the platform like amazon or other third-party seller. most importantly, you can report this stuff to the consumer product safety commission if this thing you think is dangerous. they can potentially investigate. there was a recent poll that found that a third of parents actually would consider buying the knockoff version, even if it's unavailable elsewhere, to make kids happy before the holidays. >> you can see why aaron's upset. his company and he do all the work, and others benefit from the work that he's put in. >> he said that. deep discounts for a reason. >> all right. thank you so much. ahead, a major security breach at an national airport. we're going to tell you how a teenager managed to take a plane

our viewers in the west. it's thursday, december 19th, 2019. welcome back to cbs "this morning." i'm gayle king. the house impeaches president trump and he democrats. we'll talk with his white house press secretary. >> whirling maintain a tradition that is centuries old in our series world of worship. >> i'm anthony mason. look back with us at this year's big stories and some of our favorite moments in studio 57 and around the world. >> but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. chances are, no matter where you live in this country, your front page of your newspaper had the i word in it. impeach. >> house democrats appear to be
8:01 am
delaying the naming of impeachment managers. speaker pelosi says she's worried this will not be a fair trial. >> president trump did not want to be impeached. but his campaign is planning to use it to fire up the base. >> i say tell me what i did, please. well, we don't know. you've violated the constitution. >> 72% of the american people say there ought to be witnesses. >> with you gcan you get the voe that happen? >> mcconnell has ranted and raved but he hasn't had a single direct answer why there shouldn't be witnesses. >> campaign 2020 now is the first where the challenger will be taking on a president who's also been impeached. >> he's just fired off a tweet. can you believe that i will be impeached today by the radical left, do nothing democrats and i did nothing wrong? a terrible thing. read the transcripts. this should never happen to another president again. say a prayer. is if just me or does it seem like trump went through all the stages of grief in one tweet? it was like denial. i can't believe i'm getting impeached! anger. i did nothing wrong.
8:02 am
depression. this is a terrible thing. acceptance. i guess we can only pray. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> as we said earli i fodder for the late-night comedians but really is not a laughing matter when you look at what's happening here. this is history in our country. welcome back to cbs "this morning." that's where we begin. we are covering momentous news in washington. for the third time in american history, congress has voted to impeach the president of the united states. >> on this vote, the yeas are 229. the nays are 198. adopted. >> the house approved both articles of impeachment last night along party lines. platform trump now joins bill clinton and andrew johnson as the only presidents to be impeached. no president has ever been removed from office by the senate. >> majority leader mitch mcconnell plans to hold a trial next month for what he called
8:03 am
just this morning quote the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history. close quote. but house speaker nancy pelosi said last night she could delay sending the articles to the senate until she feels a trial would be fair. senate minority leader chuck schumer told us earlier he wants the senate to call witnesses who have not been allowed to testify. >> i don't know what these witnesses will say. they could, you know, they're all appointees of president trump. they could be exculpatory. and so be it if they are. but the truth should come out. and we are pushing to get the truth. >> the president was on stage at a rally in michigan while the house was voting. he praised republican congressmen for standing by him. >> we didn't lose one republican vote. the republican party has never been so affronted but they've never been so united as they are right now. >> stephanie grisham is the white house press secretary and
8:04 am
communications director. she joins us from washington. stephanie, good morning. thanks for being here. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> our ben tracy reported in the first half hour that sources in the white house told him that the president was concerned about what impeachment means for his legacy. is he concerned? >> well, he's talked about that before. he has said nobody wants impeachment on their resume. so i think that's not a surprise to anyone. however, this impeachment in particular is going to go down in history as one that was done on partisan, political lines. and it's concerning for future presidents, whether they'll be republicans or democrats because if this is the standard that we're going to have, presidents can be impeached by just having a policy dispute. and that's not good for the country. >> you seem to recognize the gravity of the moment in an angry letter. people called it scathing, irate, to speaker nancy pelosi. how can he move forward? given the way he apparently feels right now. >> well, he has been -- he continues to move forward. i mean, we're getting usmca passed.
8:05 am
we've got ndaa going on that's going to include parental family leave, which is going to be huge. he's been building up the military. jobs are great. the economy is good. he continues to work while this is all going on. i wish that the democrats would follow his lead and do that. there's so much work to be done on behalf of this country. he's actually keeping the whole white house very, very focused. we have been very angry that this is happening to not only our boss but our president. but he continues to move forward and it's been really, really inspiring to see. >> you know, last night, he told a crowd in michigan that this impeachment was about them. that the democrats were out to get them. stephanie, when you look at that, that really is not the case. this impeachment process is solely focused on the president of the united states. why does he keep saying to the people who are listening to him that this is really about all of us together? that's really not the case here. doesn't that put out a false message? and false narrative about what this is really about. >> i think i would disagree with you on that one. the minute that the president took office, "the washington post" had a headline saying the
8:06 am
calls for impeachment for this president have begun. democrats started calling for impeachment immediately. the president was simply saying that this is bad for the country. that since he was elected by the people of this country, democrats have been trying to get him out of office. that is not good for a country who voted him into office. and for the people who want him in -- in the white house working on his behalf. so it really is about the american people because they're trying to take a president down. ever since the 2016 election. and they're trying to stop him from winning in 2020. so that's -- that's kind of the message that he's trying to send there. >> so to hear people speak on his behalf, stephanie, chuck schumer as you may know was here earlier. he said he would like to hear testimony from mick mulvaney, from john bolton. why not allow the public to hear what people on the president's team have to say about this? >> well, we don't know what's going to happen yet and the president himself has said that he would love for witnesses to speak on his behalf. because he did nothing wrong. the strategy isn't set yet. he's got a great team that will defend him in the senate. >> but he has some say over
8:07 am
that. that's a phone call for him to mitch mcconnell saying this is what i want to happen. >> he certainly does. it is true. yes. absolutely. but the rules haven't been set yet. and as you guys talked about earlier, nancy pelosi said she may not even be sending these articles to the senate. so we've got to see what's going to happen. the democrats continue to change the rules. they've been doing that throughout this entire process. so it will be difficult to get a real strategy set until we have the articles of impeachment in and mitch mcconnell has had a chance to really look at what the fair, just thing to do will be. >> do you think all the republicans will stay with the president? you think there are any possible defections, stephanie? >> no, i don't. this has been incredible to see the republicans unify behind this president. when you truly look at the -- the evidence and the transcript that the president, he, himself, released, the republicans know that he did absolutely nothing wrong. he had a very normal conversation with a foreign leader. and the republicans are just really rallying behind him. it's been a great thing to see. i think this is actually better
8:08 am
for our party. and i think that's going to show in 2020. i think this is truly backfiring on the democrats. >> the republicans may be coming together. but the country certainly is not coming together. and the president is out there calling nancy pelosi crazy at a rally last night. there was that irate letter. can we see steps from the president going forward as we did with bill clinton? an effort to bring the country together to work on the issues that matter to everyday americans. >> i think that, again, i would take issue with the fact that you're calling an irate letter. he was laying out his -- his case because he wanted -- >> when will we see an attempt to move people back together? not just republicans on one side and democrats on the other. will the president give a speech along those lines? >> the president has been working towards unity. he has been begging for usmca to get passed. he's been working toward ndaa, which is for the military giving them a pay raise. and again, parental leave. the president's had all kinds of things waiting on nancy pelosi's desk that could unify this
8:09 am
country and show that the two sides are working together. but they've chosen not to do that. i've got to remind you it's the democrats that for the months and months and months have done nothing. the president will do anything he can to work alongside the democrats, the republicans, to get things done on behalf of this country. it's america first for him. it always has been. >> did you cringe a little bit at his comments last night in michigan in john dingle's home state? when he seemed to imply, john is no longer with us that he may be looking up from hell. >> i didn't hear him say that. but i will say that we -- we -- we do thank her for her service and we are very, very sorry for the passing of her husband. we thank him for his service. the president did do, at her request, all that he could. he lowered the flag of the white house. did all he could to honor him. you've got to remember this president has been under attack now for two and a half years. tensions are high. the rally last night, there was a lot of -- a lot of passionate
8:10 am
people. and i think that a lot of riffing was going on. but at the end of the day, the president did do all he could to honor her husband. and again, we're very, very sorry for the loss. >> stephanie grisham, we thank you for joining us. don't be a stranger. we'd like to have you back again. >> happy to do it.
