7:03 am
>> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. we all need a laugh but now is not the time. breaking news overnight you may be waking up this morning wondering what's going on. that's where we begin. iran's supreme leader said his country's revenge against the u.s. is not over after iran's first military retaliation for the killing of general qassem soleimani. but the country's foreign minister said iran does not seek escalation. iranian tv says this video shows ballistic missiles fired at u.s. locations in iraq last night. more than a dozen missiles were fired at bases last night. president trump tweeted last night all is well after the attacks and boasted we have the most powerful and well-equipped
7:04 am
military anywhere in the world by far. >> add together tension, a ukraine passenger jet crashed outside iran's capital killing all 176 passengers on board. there were canadians on board but no americans. no word this crash is related to the missile attacks. we have a team of correspondents covering the crisis in the middle east. we begin with holly williams. was anyone hurt in the iranian missile strikes, holly? >> reporter: good morning, well it is now day time here in iraq. time to assess the damage done by this barrage of iranian missiles. iraq's military says that it suffered no casualties and remember, they work very closely with american troops here, but so far there's been no official word from the u.s. side. >> the missiles streaked across
7:05 am
the night sky, shattering the peace at around 2:00 a.m. local time. iran making good on its threat of revenge. the main target al asaad base covers 20 square miles and is home to around 1,500 u.s. and coalition troops. president trump visited the base in 2018 with this message for iran. >> and to protect u.s. interests and also to always watch very closely over any potential reformation of isis and also to watch over iran. we'll be watching. >> reporter: to the north, the air base has been important in the fight against isis. we visited several times. it's home to u.s. personnel and aircraft. this is apparently one on of the missiles that iran launched but it landed in a town 30 miles away from the air base. local reports say there were no
7:06 am
casualties. the roughly 5,000 troops here in iraq were already on high alert. they paused their operations against isis, fearing retaliation after president trump ordered the assassination on a baghdad street of iranian general qassem soleimani. just hours before the missile attack we met with general abdul kareem halif, military spokesman for iraq's prime minister. he told us he was fearful that his country would become a battlefield for iran and the united states. today that frightening prospect looks one step closer. in a part of the world that is unstable and ravaged by wars, the question now is how the u.s. will respond. tony. >> holly williams for us in baghdad. thank you very much. to find out how the united states could react to the missile strikes let's go to david martin at the pentagon for us. david, good morning. what actions can we expect the
7:07 am
u.s. to possibly take? >> reporter: there are basically two courses of action here that the president could take. one is military retaliation, and the u.s. has more than enough fire power in the area to do that. it would be b-52s in the region, it has an aircraft carrier, it has scores of war planes at bases in the per shan gulf and it has ships armed with cruise missiles. but the other course of action is to basically call this a one and done. the u.s. launched a drone strike which killed iran's general, qassem soleimani. iran retaliated and most of the missiles struck the base from which those drones that killed soleimani took off. so you can call it even. although, if you do that, president trump would have to flip the script on many of the threats he's made that if iran
7:08 am
tried anything, he would pay a very big price. yesterday officials said what happens next is up to iran. today, what happens next is up to the u.s. >> david, thank you. it's all very unsettling. thank you so much. president trump plans to address the nation this morning. paula reed is at the white house with more on that. have you heard what time he expects to address us and what do we expect to hear from the >> reporter: we do not have a time, gayle, but this is significant because this will be the president's first public response to the retaliatory strikes. though last night he tweeted reassuring americans that, quote, all is well. but hours before the strikes the president issued a warning to tehran to stand down. he told reporters if iran did anything they shouldn't be doing they would suffer the consequences and strongly, but it's unclear what that would
7:09 am
entail. cbs learned last night the president was here at the white house with his national security teaman including vice president mike pence and secretary of state mike pompeo and mark esper and robert o'brien. pompeo has been the main voice in the defense of the strike that killed soleimani. he has long advocated for aggressive action in the region and championed the strongest maximum pressure campaign in history against iran. but as the president addresses the nation today he's walking a fine line with his base. he campaigned on a promise to pull the u.s. out of these so-called forever wars. and so far he has not shared the evidence that prompted this escalation with iran. the president plans to speak at 8:00 pacific time. we'll bring it to you live, of course, in a cbs news special report. >> iran launched the missiles
7:10 am
shortly after general soleimani was buried in his hometown. elizabeth palmer is in tehran for us. what do we expect next from iran? >> reporter: good morning. the clear message coming from the leadership is that they're done, at least for now. and that the missile strikes were a specific retaliation for qassem soleimani's death. a news agency close to the revolutionary guards is claiming that 80 u.s. military personnel were killed and 200 wounded, although they provide no evidence. iran's supreme leader described the strikes as a slap in the face of america. now they're waiting. the ball is firmly in the u.s.'s court. after a meeting of iran's cabinet this morning i sked iran's foreign minister about moving to reduce the tension. what would it take to get deescalation going? >> it is up to the united states
7:11 am
to now come to its senses and stop its adventurism in this region. >> reporter: inevitably some hard liners led crowds in chants of death to america as soleimani was laid to rest this morning. but iranians i've spoken to are very worried. they've been suffering badly from sanctions and really dread a war. one thing we're seeing clearly today is the iranian's larger strategic play. they would love to have u.s. forces out of the iraq so they can expand their influence across the region and they do believe this is the moment they may actually achieve that. anthony. >> thank you, liz. cbs news senior national security contributor michael morale was acting and deputy director of the cia. thank you for being here.
7:12 am
>> yorgood morning. >> we're getting conflicting information on the attack, saying it's over, but the foreign minister saying they took conclusive measures. there's also question of how effective the attack has been. what do you think? >> i think we have to divide this into the overt war between the two of us. our killing of qassem soleimani, their response last night, and the covert war. i think the overt war from the iranian perspective is over. i think direct attacks from iran on american forces is over for now, depending on what the president does. i think what's not over is the covert war. and i still think that down the road we will see an iranian terrorist attack against a senior official. so i think you can parse their language into those two buckets, overt/covert. >> michael, conflicting
7:13 am
information too about the casualties. u.s. officials say no casualti s casualties. elizabeth said in iran they're reporting 80 were killed, two injuries. who do we believe? >> i'm sure there were no casualties, because we'd be hearing from the u.s. military if there were casualties. i think what we see in iran is them saying, we hit back and we hit hard, and there were casualties. and that allows them to de-escalate. so i think they're sending us a message here that, in terms of direct attacks, this is done for now. but still, as david martin pointed out, it depends on what we do next and what the president decides to do in response. >> on that question, michael, over the weekend the president tweeted if iran attacks an american base or any american we'll send our brand new beautiful equipment there, it appears he means missiles, without hesitation. this was a base with americans
7:14 am
in it. does it rise to the level of attack that the president spelled out would yield a response? >> it does. it fits his red line, but his tweet last night was suggestive that maybe he wants to de-escalate here. we'll see this morning, you know, what he has to say this morning will be incredibly important as to the next steps. we do have an opportunity to de-escalate. we have an opportunity for the president to say, they threw their best punch at us and, you know, we took it without any casualties. so there's an opportunity here for both sides to de-escalate. >> there's reports of a dozen missiles being fired to a layperson that sounds like a lot is it? >> no, there's not. >> and the casualties, where they directed them. >> the small number of missiles is important to me, they have thousands of missiles. the fact they did a dozen was
7:15 am
they wanted to be proportional here, they wanted to send a message they don't want to escalate. in terms of the precision of missiles, iran has all sorts of michigans, some a missiles, some are precise, some aren't. until we know what kind of missiles they shot, i don't think we can answer the question whether they deliberately tried to miss buildings and housing sites, et cetera. >> as was pointed out by david martin, we attacked soleimani, they attacked the base that launched the attack on soleimani, you can call it even at this point. what advice do you think the cabinet is giving president trump at this moment? >> i hope they're giving the advice this is the opportunity to step back from the precipice of war. let's not retaliate. let's call it even and let's actually look for an opportunity, through an intermediary, to say to the iranians, look, we came close to war here, maybe it's time to sit
7:16 am
down and negotiate what our future relationship is going to look like. that's what i would try to do. >> thank you very much. i know we'll be talking to you in the days to come. we are following new developments in the investigation into the overnight plane crash in iran. officials say there were no survivors there. unverified video from iranian tv appears to show the ukraine international airlines flight on fire before it went down in a field just after takeoff on the city's outskirts. 176 people were on board. chris vancleave is following this story. what have you learned so far, chris? good morning. >> good morning. a lot of unanswered questions here. the boeing 737 was less than three years old it was not a 737 max. the airlines said the plane was in good working order and flown by one of the most experienced crews. take this with the skepticism but iranian officials are indicating a mechanical issue, possibly an engine fire may have
7:17 am
brought down flight 752. it happened hours after iran attacked two u.s. military bases in iraq. most on board were iranian and two canadians. what happened happened fast. video shows flames and debris scattered across a field. crews have reportedly found the black boxes but iran will not give boeing access to them. the route is popular with iranian students the boeing 737 generally has a strong safety record. this morning boeing calls it a tragic event saying our thoughts are with the crew's family. given the tensions with iran, this will not be a normal investigation. just prior to the crash the faa

8:00 am
to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, january 8, 2020. we have an update. how will president trump respond? >> two years into the times up movement a look at how lawyers are helping women who say they've been harassed on the job. >> i'm anthony mason. it's the next step in his groundbreaking career. >> it is good. first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. iran's supreme leader said his country's revenge against the u.s. is not over after iran's first military retaliation. >> it is now day time here in iraq. time to assess the damage done by this barrage of iranian missiles. >> there are basically two
8:01 am
courses of action. one is military retaliation. the other is to call this a one and done. >> before these strikes the president told reporters if iran did anything they shouldn't be >> what would it tak to get ons. de-escalation? >> it is up to the united states to come to its senses. >> we do have an opportunity to de-escalate, for the president to say they threw their best punch at us and we took it without any casualties. >> the internet is abuzz over the latest hijinx from tesla's ceo elon musk. the space kp founder launched his booty rocket to planet nance. ♪ i saw it coming >> thank goodness elon had the good sense to quit while he was -- okay. there's more. ♪ this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota.
8:02 am
let's go places. >> well, he has many talents but -- >> unusually intelligent, unusual character. >> it is one of those things if it wasn't real video you would say that is not real video. >> that is true. >> i like elon musk. >> i like him, yes. >> he shouldn't do that though. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we'll begin with this. president trump says he will address the nation this morning on iran's missile strike on two military bases in iraq housing u.s. troops. iranian state tv claims this shows more than a dozen ballistic missiles launched from inside iran. they targeted the al asad air base west of baghdad which has about 1500 u.s. and coalition forces and another base was targeted in erbil in northern iraq. debris from one of the missiles was found in a field about 30 miles away. >> iran's supreme leader says the attack was a slap to the u.s. for killing general qassem soleimani. it was carried out hours after people flooded soleimani's hometown for his burial.
8:03 am
president trump tweeted after the iranian missile attacks, all is well. we have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far. holly williams is in baghdad. tell us more about the bases they targeted. >> reporter: well, one target was al asad base about a hundred miles northwest of here. president trump actually visited that base in december, 2018. the other is the erbil air base about 200 miles basically due north of her. both of them house u.s. forces and both of them are critically important in the fight against isis. now, we are still waiting for official word from the u.s. government as to whether there have been any american casualties. iraq's military says they've suffered no casualties and that is important because they work very closely with american troops here. there are around 5,000 u.s. service members here in iraq. they're here for the fight against isis but they were eyad
8:04 am
against isis for the last few days because they were fearful of a revenge attack following president trump's authorization of an assassination by drone strike of a top iranian general, qassem soleimani, here on the streets of baghdad just last week. we spoke with an iraqi general yesterday just hours before the iranian missile strikes. he said he was fearful that his country, iraq, could become a battlefield for iran and the united states. today that very frightening prospect looks a little bit closer, tony. >> holly williams, in baghdad, thank you very much. joining us now the former vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he is a cbs news military and homeland security analyst. admiral, good morning. >> good morning. >> two big questions we've been trying to parce this morning are what did iran intend with this attack and how might the u.s. respond? t' part of that.
8:05 am
more than a dozen ballistic missiles. this is a u.s. base in iraq. what's the intention of the iranian military? >> first, this was a very, very carefully calibrated attack on the part of iran. first, what did they use? they used increasingly accurate ballistic missiles, which other than those that might have gone astray, which always happens, probably hit pretty close to what their targets were. the second thing is, what were their targets? this is a big, sprawling air base, mostly desert. they could have targeted the missiles into remote areas to avoid any possibility that an american could be killed or they might have done what we would have done and that is perhaps target aircraft on the ramp, but not barracks or places where there would be a lot of people. and then to your question, the third thing is, what were they trying to accomplish? there were really four key audiences here. the first is the united states. hey, we can hit you guys. and by the way, we didn't hurt anybody, so please don't start a war with us that we would lose. second audience, of course, is the internal iranian audience.
8:06 am
and they can say anything they want to to that audience. we did this hard revenge. we killed 80 americans, which of course isn't true, but they have that internal message. the third audience is the international community. hey, we did this legally in self-defense, so please don't come after us there. the fourth audience, of course, is the regional audience, please don't help the americans retaliate for this. and by the way, why don't you kick them out of the region? so it was very carefully calibrated and we'll see what happens next. >> if you were advising the president at this point what should happen next do you think? >> there are three major sort of chunky possibilities here. one would be a disproportionate response which the president alluded to in previous days but didn't sign up for necessarily and i don't think that's what he will do, certainly not what i would advise. the next would be a prortional response where you mighto after in self-defense some of the missile sites, storage handling facilities, command and control, but there are a lot of
8:07 am
problems associated with that option as well. the third is essentially to let this go and underneath you sort of have a tacit agreement with iran that says, we got ours. you got yours. by the way, we think we might have gotten the better end of this thing. above the line you can tell the international community, hey, look how restrained we were. look how much of a menace this iranian country is. why don't you climb onboard with sanctions and the like? and at the same time, send a very strong message to iran that says, proxy war is over. that's how this whole thing started. we're not going to let you have your proxies hit us anymore and we'll go after them if you do and we'll also go after you. >> sandy, you have been in the room and you touched on it briefly with anthony's question. you've been in the room with top security officials when they're having these discussions. what is that conversation like? what exactly are you all -- what are they saying to each other at this point? >> it is a very good and interesting question. >> i'm curious to hear your perspective because you are the
8:08 am
only one here that knows what that's like. >> sure. generally these meetings would start with a review by the intelligence community of what they think happened, why it happened, and what's coming next. and then you would have various people around the table, state department would provide diplomatic options and what they're hearing from the rest of the international community, some of the implications for some of the things we might do. of course you would hear from the military, from the department of defense on what various options would be for some kind of response and how we're protecting our own troops in the region. after all of that is vetted it really comes down to the person at the end of the table who has the loneliest job on the planet and has to integrate all of this information and then decide on a response and a strategy going forward. >> admiral, is your sense that the iranians are done after this attack? they seemed to send conflicting signals. the supreme leader said, it's not over. the foreign minister said this was proportionate and we concluded our response. >> well, i think michael morale said it very well earlier.
8:09 am
that is the overall piece of this is over at least as far as the iranians are concerned but the proxy piece, the covert piece remains to be seen. i do think that the proxies in iraq do want a piece of this action, and so it's not a good time to be complacent about self-defense for our troops. but that's the real question mark i think is as michael pointed out where do we go with the nuclear program and where do we go with covert action from iran? >> all right. bringing us inside the situation there, admiral, thank you very much. and as the president takes in this information from his advisers and prepares a statement this morning we will of course bring you that statement live in a special report when it happens. there is a growing push of survivors of sexual harassment at work. one woman tells us she suffered so much while working at mcdonald's that she actually had to quit her job. >> i couldn't take it no more. i felt sick to my stomach and i left. >> ahead, the creator of the

8:26 am
apparently no u.s. casualties as a sign iran may be willing to come to the table, may be willing to work together to deescalate the situation. the president has made it clear, he does not want a war with iran. what he wants is a change in behavior from the region. he argues that the strike that killed soleimani, that was done to prevent a war. but tony, that is based on a bet that despite iran's strident rhetoric they do not want to engage in a traditional military conflict the with the u.s. right now we're waiting to see how the president wants to play this, if he wants to escalate as he threatened to before the strikes or if he sees an opportunity to perhaps cool things down a bit. >> paula reid at the white house. thanks, paula. david martin at the pentagon. here comes the president now. >> mike pompeo and vice president pence, mark milley, joint chiefs of staff general. he's there.
8:27 am
other advisers. still awaiting the president. >> secretary of defense mark esper standing there. >> still awaiting the president. this will be the first time we see president trump publicly since last night's attack on two military bases in iraq, both of which host u.s. troops and allies. >> it's interesting that he has not been on twitter all morning. the only thing we saw last night where he basically said so far, so good, all is well. it's interesting. i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall this morning while they were having the conversation last night and this morning about what the united states response will be. is it a one and done, will the u.s. escalate or will they take action from the attack. >> he said iran took and concluded -- concluded key word there -- proportion ate measures in self-defense. >> the supreme leader said this is not over, so we're getting conflicting information. some military analysts have
8:28 am
said -- here comes the president it appears now. there comes president trump. >> as he makes his way to the podium there. this is the grand foyer, formal entrance hall to the white house. >> as long as i'm president of th uniat, wl never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. good morning. i'm pleased to inform you the american people should be extremely grateful and happy. no americans were harmed in last night's attack by the iranian regime. we suffered no casualties. all of our soldiers are safe. only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases. our great american forces are prepared for anything. iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for
8:29 am
all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world. no american or iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken. the disbursal of forces and an early warning system. i have supported men and women in uniform. for far too long, all the way back to 1979, to be exact, nations have tolerated iran's destructive and destabilizing behavior in the middle east and beyond. those days are over. iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. we will never let that happen. last week we took decisive action to stop a ruthless
8:30 am
terrorist from threatening american lives. at my direction, the united states military eliminated the world's top terrorist qassem soleimani. as the head of the quds force, soleimani was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities. he trained terrorist armies, including hezbollah, launching terror strikes against civilian targets. he fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. he viciously wounded and murdered thousands of u.s. troops including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims. soleimani directed the recent attacks on u.s. personnel in iraq that badly wounded four service members and killed one
8:31 am
american, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the u.s. embassy in baghdad. in recent days he was planning new attacks on american targets, but we stopped him. soleimani's hands were drenched in both american and iranian blood. he should have been terminated long ago. by removing soleimani, we have sent a powerful message to terrorists. if you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people. as we continue to evaluate options in response to iranian aggression, the united states will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the iranian regime. these powerful sanctions will remain until iran changes its behavior. in recent months alone iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked
8:32 am
strike on saudi arabia, and shot down two u.s. drones. iran's hostilities substantially increased after the foolish iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. instead of saying thank you to the united states, they chanted death to america. in fact, they chanted death to america the day the agreement was signed. then iran went on a terror spree funded by the money from the deal and created hell in yemen, syria, lebanon, afghanistan, and iraq. the missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. the regime also greatly
8:33 am
tightened the reins on their own country, even recently killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout iran. the very defective jcpoa expires shortly anyway and gives iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism. the time has come for the united kingdom, germany, france, russia, and china to recognize this reality. they must now breakaway from the remnants of the iran deal or jcpoa. and we must all work together toward making a deal with iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. we must also make a deal that
8:34 am
allows iran to thrive and prosper and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. iran can be a great country. peace and stability cannot prevail in the middle east as long as iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred and war. the civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the iranian regime. your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. it will not be allowed to go forward. today i am going to ask nato to become much more involved in the middle east process. over the last three years under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and america has achieved energy independence.
8:35 am
these historic accomplishments changed our strategic priorities. these are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible. options in the middle east became available. we are now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. we are independent, and we do not need middle east oil. the american military has been completely rebuilt under my administration at a cost of $2.5 trillion. u.s. armed forces are stronger than ever before. our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal and fast. under construction are many hyper sonic michls. the fact we have this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. we do not want to use it. american strength, both military
8:36 am
and economic, is the best deterrent. three months ago, after destroying 100% of isis and its territorial caliphate, we killed the savage leader of isis al baghda baghdadi, who was responsible for so much death including beheadings of christians, muslims and all who stood in his way. he was a monster. baghdadi was trying again to rebuild the isis caliphate and fail failed. tens of thousands of isis fighters have been killed or captured during my administration. isis is a natural enemy of iran. the destruction of isis is good for iran. we should work together on this and other shared priorities.
8:37 am
finally to the people and leaders of iran, we want you to have a future and a great future, one that you deserve. one of prosperity at home in harmony with the nations of the world. the united states is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it. i want to thank you and god bless america. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. >> just heard the president of the united states giving his first remarks on the attacks on american resources last night. he said this, that at his direction a ruthless terrorist, a top terrorist was eliminated. but americans, he said, this morning should wake up feeling grateful and happy because we sustained minimal damage and there were no casualties in the attack last night. we've been reporting all morning about the 12 missiles.

>> the most encouraging thing here is the president said iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for the world. >> he tied all of it back to the iran nuclear agreement, which had been struck by the prior administration and seemed to say he wants to renegotiate that bringing in europe and china. >> david martin is at the pentagon. david, what do you make of the president's response here? >> well, it's a very tempered response, particularly compared to the tweets that he was sending out before this attack when he was warning iran that if it tried anything it would pay a very big price. well, iran did try something. he's given no indication t i to retaliate. he did go through the entire litany of complaints that the u.s. has against iran and its behavior in the middle east but he did not talk in terms of
8:39 am
retaliating against iran for this strike. as you pointed out, he said americans should be grateful and happy that no americans were harmed and there was only minimal damage to the base. we have some early now commercial satellite photos which show the craters caused by these missiles that were fired by iran. the worst damage they seem to show is an aircraft shelter destroyed. so that in the scheme of things with lives at stake, that is very minimal damage. one other interesting note, not in the speech, but senator inhofe, the chairman of senate armed services committee, talked to president trump last night at about 9:00 p.m., and he told reporters this morning that the president was very positive and said this opens the way for negotiations.
8:40 am
>> well, that remains to tiions wil be and that it will be true, as the president said, that iran appears to be standing down. we thank you very much, david. elizabeth palmer in iran where officials say last night's missile strike was self-defense. elizabeth, what are they saying in response to the president's remarks? >> reporter: well, they would have listened very carefully and relieved to hear there won't be another attack. there was a risk of escalation. they were very clear, in fact, the foreign minister tweeted we seek neither escalation or war. it does look as if this is not really over in the sense that america and president trump is saying we don't want iran's malign influence, as he calls it, in the middle east and particularly in iraq. thais exactly what iran wants.
8:41 am
it wants to have a huge influence in iraq. it wants to spread its influence right across the middle east to the mediterranean. the key part of that is its insistence that u.s. troops leave iraq. that has become,ening, the main goal of the iranians. now we're hearing it from everybody, from the supreme leader down, american troops must leave the region. if they don't, let's not forget iran has fourful proxies west of here in iraq and syria and in lebanon, hezbollah, battle hardened, well equipped militias. if iran doesn't get its way and see american troops move out, then it's very likely we'll see a nasty and very violent asymmetrical fight spring up in those countries to the west of here. >> liz, the president at one point steered the address, it would appear, directly to the
8:42 am
iranian people saying they deserve prosperity, and he would like to help them on the road to prosperity. how is the president's speech likely to be heard not by the leadership of iran but by people in the street? will they hear it at all? >> they will on social media for sure. they will hope that something can be done. i tell you, i've come here a lot in the last couple of years the poverty and despair has just grown. >> all right, liz, thank you very much. our coverage will continue on our 24 hour streaming cbs or watch it on cbs.com or "cbs this morning" news app. >> more on the local news, cbs app and news with norah o'donnell. >> this has been a special report right here at cbs news in new york.
