7:01 am
2019. here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. the mayor recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals. >> rival candidates take aim at mayor pete. >> they don't have to go shake the money tree in the wine cave. >> i have never even before to a wine cave. >> i'm literally the only person on this stage who's not a millionaire or a billionaire. >> reporter: republicans accusing democrats of getting cold front after nancy pelosi says she's waiting to send the impeachment articles -- >> democrats are too afraid to even transmit their shoddy work product to the senate. >> reporter: a deadly explosion rocked south philadelphia. >> more than 100 firefighters battled the flames that raged for hours. >> it could have been a lot worse. we're hoping it doesn't get any worse. >> reporter: police in rhode island are looking for the motive in a deadly shooting at a housing complex for the elderly
7:02 am
and disabled. >> reporter: police have released disturbing video of a woman getting purse snatched, then dragged by the suspect's car. all that -- >> reporter: a truck crashes into an airport in sarasota, slamming into the baggage claim carousel before taking out a rental car counter. two giant sea lions relaxing on a boat. >> how does that happen? >> those are huge. and all that matters -- >> joe biden's doctor says he is fit enough to handle the presidency. >> a healthy, vigorous 77-year-old -- adding, and i don't know why he had me include this but he's also friends with barack obama. on "cbs this morning." >> when i was on trevor noah's show once i explained how in the history of the senate there was something like 2,000 men and only 50 women in the whole history. and he said if the nightclub had numbers that bad they would shut it down. [ cheers ] >> technically, technically if my line gets a response at the presidential debate, doesn't
7:03 am
that mean that now i'm also in the race? [ cheers ] >> come on in, trevor. i hear the water's fine. migh welmp in.ded in there. >> i think trevor liked being included in the debate. >> i think he did, too. >> a nice touch. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin, of course, with major political developments on both sides of the country. in washington, the impeachment of president trump is on hold as you may have heard as republicans and democrats square off over whether a fair trial for mr. trump is even possible in the republican-held senate. >> at the sixth democratic presidential debate in los angeles, democrats turned their fire on each other with the biggest attacks reserved for the surging mayor of south bend, indiana, pete buttigieg. it was the latest in a series of clashes on the role of money in the campaign. just over six weeks before the first votes are cast in iowa. ed o'keefe is in los angeles for us. good morning. why was this debate so heated? >> reporter: well, tony, let's put it this way -- los angeles has produced its fair share of
7:04 am
tv dramas, and it was dramatic on the debate stage. this was a night the gloves finally came off. they finally started throwing punches, and most of them went at young mayor pete buttigieg because he's rising in the polls. >> billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. >> reporter: senator elizabeth warren challenged mayor pete buttigieg for recently holding an exclusive fund raiser in a wine cave in california's napa value. buttigieg pushed back. >> this is the problem with issuing security tests you cannot yourself pass. senator, your net worth is 100 times mine. >> reporter: eventually amy klobuchar tried to stop the bickering. >> i did not come here to listen to this argument. i came here to make a case for progress, and i have never even been to a wine cave. >> reporter: but she took her
7:05 am
own shots at buttigieg over his previous comments about his washington outsider status. >> you basically mocked the hundred years of experience on this stage. and i have not denigrated your experience as a local official. i have been one. i just think you should respect our experience. >> you want to talk about the capacity to win? try putting together a coalition to bring you back to office with 80% of the vote as a gay dude in mike pence's indiana. >> if you had won in indiana, that would be one thing. >> reporter: there were also questions of age and gender. >> senator warren, you would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. i'd like you to weigh in, as well. >> i'd also be the youngest woman ever inaugurated. [ cheers ] >> reporter: there was an acknowledgement of the lack of diversity. >> it's both an honor and disappointment to be the lone candidate of color on the stage tonight. i miss kamala, i miss corey though i think cory will be back.
7:06 am
>> reporter: the result in part because of fund-raising thresholds. >> you know what you need to donate to political campaigns? disposable income. [ applause ] >> reporter: throughout the night the contenders faced questions about the economy. >> we need an economy that focuses on the needs of a press exploited people. >> reporter: climate change -- >> i'm the only one on this stage who said climate is my number-one priority. >> reporter: health care -- >> under joe's plan, essentially we retain the status quo. >> that's not true. >> no -- >> that is exactly true. thank you. >> reporter: and how they'd fix a broken washington. former vice president joe biden made an especially personal plea. >> if anyone has reason to be angry with the republicans and not want to cooperate, it's me, the way they attacked me, my son, my family. [ applause ] i have no -- no love. but the fact is we have to be able to get things done. >> reporter: now we mentioned that impeachment also came up, and the candidates all agreed that the president should allow his top aides to testify at the upcoming trial. it was andrew yang who said that
7:07 am
his party should, quote, stop being obsessed over impeachment, and that it needs to focus instead on winning back voters who had supported president trump in 2016. anthony? >> thank you. as democrats consider withholding the materials the senate would need for an impeachment trial, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is accusing house speaker nancy pelosi of being, quote, too afraid to present the case. the standoff means the entire impeachment process is in uncharted territory. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, why the holdup? >> reporter: well, speaker pelosi says that she wants to know more, anthony, about what the senate trial is going to look like before she sends the charges to the senate. but leader mcconnell after meeting with his democratic counterpart chuck schumer, said that the two sides are at an impasse. >> i'm not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want. >> reporter: leader mcconnell called the democrats' case for impeachment weak after speaker pelosi suggested she might wait to send the articles of impeachment to the senate.
7:08 am
>> we'll see whether house democrats ever want to work up the courage to actually take their accusations to trial. >> reporter: >> frankly, i don't care what the republicans say. >> reporter: pelosi was just as scathing about mr. speaker colonel, who has vowed to work in lockstep with the white house on this trial. >> our founder when they wrote the constitution, they suspected that there could be a rogue president. i don't think they suspected that we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the senate at the same time. >> reporter: she has the backing of house democrats who are looking for ways to pressure the senate into calling key witnesses like acting white house chief of staff milk null vainy and -- mick mulvaney and former national security adviser john bolton. >> do you run the risk of looking like you're playing games with impeachment -- >> we're not playing games with
7:09 am
impeachment. there is the third time in our history. we wouldn't have done it if we weren't deadly serious. >> reporter: minority leader chuck schumer had a first meeting with mcconnell about the trial yesterday. >> i told leader mcconnell that we would not support any trial without witnesses and documents. >> reporter: south carolina senator lindsey graham called the democratic strategy constitutional extortion. >> i just left president trump. he's mad as hell that they would do this to him and now deny him his day in court. >> reporter: think of all of these ultimatums as the opening sample ohs in a -- solvos in a negotiation over how long this trial is going to be and how comprehensive it is going to be. and it's important, gayle, because this trial will determine whether president trump stays in office. >> it continues. in marital counseling they told me ultimatums never work, so we'll see what happens. i'm divorced. there you go. one member of the trump family is weighing in in a rare
7:10 am
interview set to air later this month on "face the nation." ivanka trump told margaret brennan that despite the concerns getting impeached has energized her father. >> reporter: your father has now been impeached. he is now only the third u.s. president to go through this. what has been the impact? has he made peace with it? >> he's energized, as are 63 million-plus voters who elected him to office. this is historic, as you know, in many ways including the fact that it is the first purely partisan impeachment. >> reporter: i'm surprised to hear you say energized. when i read the that's right your father sent to speaker pelosi, he seemed angry. and in fact, he wrote, "you do not know, nor do you care, the great damage and hurt you've inflicted upon wonderful and loving members of my family. was that a reference to you? >> i don't think the words are
7:11 am
mutually exclusive. you can be angry at a process that is unjust. so there can be anger. anger at the opportunity cost to the americans we're all here serving andwhat could have gotten done. angry at the waste of time. angry at the collateral damage. angry -- but it's still energizing, and it focuses you on really draws into relief the stark contrast in priorities. >> "face the nation" plod rarity margaret brennan joins us now. listen, nobody has a better insight into the mind of her father than ivanka trump. she's his adviser and, of course, his daughter. how do you think this whole process is affecting her? why did she want to talk the day after the impeachment vote? >> reporter: well, you know, gayle, ivanka trump wants her
7:12 am
father in the history books to be written about the initiatives that she thinks have made a difference. she described all this as raw politics. she described it as divorced from reality. even though the vote happened the night before, she sat for the long-planned interview on paid family leave. she has championed this issue in particular because even though it's a democratic priority, not a republican one, it's part and parcel of how her family has basically reshaped republican priorities. you know, the united states has long been one of the few developed countries in the world that doesn't require employers to pay employees during their 12 weeks of leave following giving birth or adopting a child. and that changes today when president trump signs a law that
7:13 am
includes the first update to it in nearly 30 years. it's going to guarantee u.s. government employees that they will receive paychecks during that leve. they're the country's largest employer, and this may change policies for actual private companies. that's what ivanka trump wants the country to be focused on, and clearly wants to hold impeachment at arm's length. we will have that paid family leave story for you at the end of the year. >> all right. a lot of people will be glad to hear that. as you point out, she could have easily canceled and did not. thank you, margaret. on "face the nation" this sunday, margaret will talk to republican senator roy blunt and democratic senator chris van hollen. congress is on recess for the holidays giving democrats and republicans two full weeks to consider the next steps in the impeachment showdown. "60 minutes" correspondent john dickerson is here. okay, congress. >> okay. >> nancy pelosi has said she's not going to send the articles of impeachment over to the senate. geent know when she will -- we don't know when she will. what's the game plan? >> at the moment she says not going to do it. we've heard republicans making process arguments in the house. democrats are trying to shape
7:14 am
the process in the senate, and if they can't actually shape it and get rules favorable to their side, they want to at least put in a context and argue basically that republican leader mcconnell is not allowing a fair trial. so that it at least when the president's acquitted in the senate, as everyone expects, it at least has that context that the democrats get. but the downside for nancy pelosi is people say, wait a minute, you've gone through this process, it's not very serious if you're not sending over the articles. >> mitch mcconnell said there's no leverage in not sending a thing we don't want. >> yes. >> here's the question, though -- that may be so. here's the alternative case -- the president, despite what his daughter says, is steamed about this. he's out there showing that. that puts some pressure on mitch mcconnell to get this thing rolling and get that acquittal happening. i'm not sure there's no leverage. it may not be a huge amount of it, but there is other things at
7:15 am
play here. and that other thing at play is the president who wants -- >> john, there was an interesting op-ed in "christianity today" which called for president trump to be removed, basically endorsed impeachment. in very strong language. how significant is this? >> well, this is -- i don't know that it's going to change any evangelical minds, but this comes from within the president's base. and the argument is twofold. one is that the president is -- is immoral. i mean, and that these behaves in a way that is unchristian. then the other thing that's extraordinary about this editorial is it says that evangelicals are breaking their christian witness if they support the president. so it puts pressure on those evangelicals. >> the language -- none of the president's positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character. >> wow. >> this is his base. >> it is his base.
7:16 am
also, there is a gulf that you see. you see this editorial and compared to what you're hearing from the president and republicans which is that the president has done nothing wrong. this was a perfect relationship with ukraine. in office he has been perfect. and yet now you have from within his base saying not only has he broken with his ath of office, but he breaks with the codes that are the highest and most important codes and the way we live our lives. that's a real difference in the way you look at this. and it's -- it's a challenge for the president. he can no longer -- i mean, say basically there's nothing to any of this when they're talking about the most important questions e that go to the creator and jump over politics. we have a update on a missing mom. the new developments follow a police raid of a home outside of
7:17 am
hu houston. officers took several people into custody in connection with the case. she and her daughter disappeared a month ago. >> we have breaking news. prosecutors have charged the american woman accused of hitting and killing harry dunn with her car, she fled the uk after the incident causing diplomatic immunity. what are the charges exactly? >> nearly four months after the crash that killed harry dunn, she has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving. she could face up to 14 years in prison. they learned of the larges during a meeting here. the decision comes only days after she was filmed for the first time since the accident driving outside of her virginia
7:18 am
home. she was living with her husband, a intelligence officer, at the time of the accident. but she fled the yukraine claiming dealersh claiming dip moematic diplomat. now they refused that meeting with her saying they would only do so if she returned to the uk. with today's decision, they are close to getting the lowture say are looking for, and now it is up to britain's home secretary to decide whether or not think will reach out to the u.s. and ask for her to be we are starting out with

i want. >> reporter: they love you, too, imagine. >> yeah. >> reporter: daniel van amstel has lived with louis and josh for six months. when he mentioned his pending adoption at his elementary school outside sleep apnealt la what happened? >> the teacher insulted my family. >> reporter: what did she do? >> she first said why would you be happy to be adopted by them? that's when one of three kids, ones in my class, said let's stop. she kept going and said, are you going to be gay? >> reporter: are you going to be? >> i have no idea. >> reporter: what was it like to hear the teacher say that there's something wrong with them? >> honestly, i went red. i didn't like what she said. >> reporter: what does that mean, you went red? >> i was very mad. because it's not nice to insult other families. even if you don't like them.
7:33 am
if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. >> reporter: if you could talk to that teacher now, what would you tell her? >> i would tell her you should have made better choices in life. >> reporter: louis, what's it like for you hearing him talk about this incident? >> don't cry. >> too late. >> reporter: louis, who you may recognize from "dancing with the star stars," says daniel's been through five foster families and failed adoption and were fearful this could be in jeopardy, too. >> he also became red at school because of i don't want to get this teacher in trouble because if i get in trouble, my parents will not adopt me. so he stayed quiet. the girl stood up for him. >> he was just sitting there quietly, answering the questions, and looked really scared. >> reporter: classmates demi and sophie said they couldn't stay silent. >> all of us were uncomfortable. i didn't want to be any longer
7:34 am
in that situation. and so i just had to stop it. >> reporter: sophie tried to change the topic in class, and demi went to the principal's office. >> i mean, i was a bit scared to go in there, but after that i knew i was doing the right thing. >> reporter: the principal removed the teacher and called josh. >> our child had been bullied by a superior, by somebody who was brought in from the school in order to teach these children fifth grade math. fifth grade, you know, english. she's not there to teach semantics or her personal religious views. >> reporter: the staffing company she worked for apparently agreed. they fired her. how do you feel about that? >> i feel she could have done better even if she didn't like it. she didn't have to say that. but i'm glad she got her lesson taught. it's called karma, so --
7:35 am
>> we did not say any of this. this is him. >> reporter: it was louis who took the conversation public when he shared the story on social media. >> we are not letting this go. >> reporter: all of this is happening against the backdrop in which the trump administration is trying to make it acceptable and legal for religious organizations to say no to same-sex couples who want to adopt. >> looking just at this picture, would we be people that agree with that? no. look at this young gentleman that would still be in the foster care if it were up to them. is that what they want? >> reporter: have you had a chance to talk to the substitute? >> no. we don't know her name. we don't know who she is. but i would love to have lunch with her. >> huh-uh. >> and sit down -- >> reporter: why not? >> i do not like her. if i saw her again i'd probably have a heart attack. >> no, you won't.
7:36 am
why would she ever say what she said to him before she actually met us? if we're bad people and we steal, we do bad things, then she can have an opinion about that. but because we happen to be gay, before she met us, nal. i would love to have lunch with her. >> reporter: what did the whole experience teach you about your family, your school, your community? >> it doesn't matter what family you have, it just matters if you love them or not. and yes, i do love them. >> wow. >> gosh. >> sweet. >> my god. that's beyond sweet. number one, daniel was so wise beyond his years. >> yes, he is. >> demi and sophie to come to his defense the way they did. >> yes. >> they articulated how they felt so genuinely and so smartly. >> i loved hearing about a heroic moment in a classroom when demi and sophie, you know, see that daniel is struggling and take it upon themselves to change the conversation. it's very brave. >> yeah. louis and josh, the fathers,
7:37 am
they say -- >> let's talk about them, too. they were also great. also great. >> they think that this teacher was acting out of a sense of -- a religious intolerance. what they want to point out, that's one person, and it's not the whole religion, not the whole religious community. in fact, the little girls who came to daniel's aid also part of a religious community. they made a distinction themselves. >> it shows that family comes in all shapes and forms. and to hear, too, that he had been to several foster homes and failed adoption -- >> he's afraid he's in trouble. louis and josh are hoping for more. >> all of them -- >> that in school can be so damaging. fortunate that they made the best of it. >> positive story in the end. the more than 50-year-old mystery of a kidnapped baby may be solved. how a michigan man's family helped identify him as that long, lost child. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." ♪
