7:01 am
darling dave brat. >> this wasn't even close. >> voters apparently angry over immigration reform. >> i know there's a lot of long faces here. obviously we came up short. >> we've got shotted fired. >> there's still no motive for a deadly school shooting in oregon. a high school student killed classmate and himself. >> our gun violence is off the charts. >> the second biggest city was taken over by islamic militants. >> there are questions to chuck hagel about the freed bowe bergdahl. >> millions saw this ad during last night's nba finals game and it calls for the red skin to change its name. >> native americans call themselves many things. the one thing they don't. >> sterling's attorney will ask
7:02 am
the court on wednesday to issue an order to help expedite the sale of the los angeles clippers. >> a home is clinging to the edge of a collapsing cliff. >> all that -- >> richard dunn stuck at the airport overnight, so he shot this music video. ♪ all by myself >> a motorcycle jumps right over an airplane. >> we don't want you trying to sit home. >> -- and all that matters -- >> let's say you had the $40 million. who's to say you would be a happier or better person? >> i think i might be a happier person. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> women, i eemg not kidding -- trammell me on the streets, black, white, young, old, you get to work with charlie rose every day. they go, what's he like. i go very good. >> leave it at that. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places.
7:03 am
captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie. what a stunner. >> the political stunt or gayle's dress there. >> gayle looks fabulous too. >> a political earthquake in virginia shaking people up across the country. eric cantor lost his seat in a gop primary vote last night. >> it was a stunning defeat for republican leaders and a triem umph for tea party activists who supported dave brat. good morning. >> this is simply unprecedented in modern presidential history. he was the second most powerful republican in the house. he outspent his opponent 40-1 and still lost by an astounding 11 points.
7:04 am
>> look, obviously we came up short. >> the stunned house majority leader kept his concession speech brief. >> it's disappointing, sure, but i believe in this country. i believe there's opportunity around the next corner for all of us. >> cantor was beaten by a little known economics professor named dave brat who spent $122,000 to cantor's $5 million. >> dollars do not vote. you do. >> brat campaigned for cutting spending and against comprehensive immigration reform. his tea party platform drew support from influential independent conservative pundits including laura ingram. >> these are good people. >> he was one of the most vocal backers. >> remember what tea party stands for. >> he angered some conservatives by voting to raise the debt ceiling and backing legislation
7:05 am
that would grant legal status to some immigrants brought to the u.s. illegally as children. his primary loss delighted tea party leaders. one called it an apocalyptic moment for the gop establishment while the chair of the national committee said it's clear the gop has redefined far right. >> this is truly a political earthquake. >> blut virginia political expet says it may all have to do with his own political ambition. >> everyone knew for years he's wanted to be speak of the house. unfortunately for him it's caused him to flip-flop a lot. his image became fuzzy at times because he tried to be all things to all people. >> and his defeat leaves a major power vacuum in house republican leadership. already they're jockeying for his position as house majority leader and for his title as heir
7:06 am
apparent as speaker of the house for john boehner who many expect will retire in the next couple of years. charlie? >> thanks. frank luntz is here as well as john dickerson. why didn't republicans see it coming while others did and fought it back. >> there are over 200 house republican republicans praying as they wake up. i'm one of them. we as poll sters suck. his pollster told him 12 days ago he was going to win by 34 points and then he loses by ten. number one, he didn't even see it coming. >> mitt romney's pollster, he told him he was going to win. >> there's pollsters. you have to be able to analyze who is going to participate.
7:07 am
this is also about that anti-washington mood that still exists. if the candidates come home, if they spend time in their district, if they cam paper hard like mitch mcconnell and listndy graham did, they survive. eric cantor never thought he had a problem. he was out helping republicans all across the country. >> this has huge implications, john. a top rupp saepublican said to t night this means immigration reform is 100% dead. is that how you see it? >> yes. although it was 99.5% dead because even before this, you had a lot of -- you know, in february i talked to house leadership aide and they said, look, the chamber of commerce wants immigration reform, lobbyists want immigration reform, but they can't primary a member of congress and what they were saying essentially is they don't have the power as the
7:08 am
grassroots has to put a challenger up against the sitting member of congress and that fear of a challenger is what keeps members of congress nervous and from doing anything bold or different than what their constituents want. that was the fear in february. now we even seen a race where even if you've got the power and the money of the majority leader and you've been in congress from seven terms, you can still get walloped by a grassroots candidate. this was. just a grassroots candidate. this was a person who grew right out of that district. >> all right. so what does it mean for the republican party and for president obama after the midterm elections? >> well, you had eric cantor who had a very good relationship with joe biden, had open lines of communication. i think for the gop it's going to be dangerous for the republicans to talk to democrats as it was for democrats to talk to republicans a few years ago. this is a blow for congress and cooperation.
7:09 am
i think it's bad for the country, not just bad for the republicans. >> i'm curious about what it means for the midterms and what it means for the 2015 presidential campaign. if it's dead, what does it mean for the party efforts to regain a standing with the voters? >> it's going to be very tough. when mitt romney used the phrase self-deportation, that was the end for a lot of latinos and ta the challenge for the gop is to appeal to others, not just latinos, but women and other groups. >> john, are we making too much of one election here in terms of the republican party? >> well, that's what we do, and, so, yes, we are. but, charlie, were another not the only ones. members of congress and those running in 2016 are going to take lessons from this too. and the lesson is do not get too far from what your base wants. >> that's not a new lesson. >> no, it's not a new lesson, but some people got two or three
7:10 am
feet away. now it's going to be two or three inches at best. and so there's been a back and forth in the republican party about how much the noise from the activists really matters, and this is a big win for the activists. and in 2014, there are a lot of candidates who won by listening to those activists, so-called establishment candidates who won by appealing to tea party voters. in 2016 what will be interesting is what are the tests that show that you are a candidate, a principle. and there will be a real fight to show i'm more principled than you are and that tends to push parties to their most extreme areas because many are trying to be more principled than the other and that's part of what caught mitt romney up in the primaries last time around. >> i think that's what americans are fed up with. i think this is such a great loss not only to the country but virginia. eric cantor had the ability to go toe to toe. maybe that hurt him in the
7:11 am
primary. that's exactly what we needed in washington. now we're losing jaime. >> as norah reminded me, he was a pipeline to wall street he was the pipeline who wanted to get things done and we've lost that leadership in washington. police in oregon are searching for a motive this morning after a deadly school shooting outside portland. cbs news confirms the gunman at reynolds high school was a male student. he shot and killed a freshman before apparently taking his own life. our reporter is in troutdale, oregon, where a teach 'eers acti-- teacher's actions are being called heroic. >> reporter: good morning. today was supposed to be the last day of school. they're trying to figure out exactly what happened and why. it happenet shortly after 5858
7:12 am
a.m. >> possibly wearing a flack jacket. original report said black and red motorcycle. >> two killed were a gunman and a 14-year-old freshman emilio hoffman was found in the gym's locker room. >> that was emilio's parent this afternoon. they want you to know that emilio was a great kid and he was loved by all. >> reporter: multiple police units quickly arrived on scene. students filed out with their hands in the air, include ing boy. the suspect a student at the school. his body later found in a nearby restroom. he apparently took his own light. this teacher's hip was grazed by a bullet. he was not seriously injured.
7:13 am

7:14 am
a week. the country has to do some soul-searching about this. this is becoming the norm and we take it for granted in ways that as a parent are terrifying to me. >> the president also admitted his effort to pass stronger gun laws had failed. he said change will only be possible when the public demands it. and an investigation continue this morning after one of the deadliest friendly-fire tragedies in the afghanistan war. five american troops were killed sunday in afghanistan. a b-1 bomber mistakenly dropped a bomb on the unit. four of the men are identified. 22-year-old justin krout is known as a quiet liter. 20-year-old justin was engaged. 24-year-old scott studman was a trained sniper and aaron

7:16 am
province where these propaganda videos show them using roadside bombs. mosul is crucial to iraq's oil industry and the president called for state of emergency. some reports say half a million people have already fled the city. the militants belong to isis which started out as an al qaeda affiliate. just across the border they're embroiled in bloody civilian war where they've cared out war. even al qaeda has condemned isis for excessive violence. the group's fighters come from across the middle east and also include hundreds of european muslims. their goal is to establish an islamic state. isis now controls territories stragling syria and iraq and is
7:17 am
moves its fighters freely across the border. this stunning victory in mosul is more chaos that syria's civil war has helped to breed a new generation of islamist extremists. >> thank you. tomorrow the world cup gets under way. construction crews are still working this morning and critics wonder if the host can manage one of the world's biggest sporting events. elaine quijano is outside where the opening game will be played. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. brazil has had seven years to prepare for the world cup, a chance to earn respect on the world stage but the deadline is practically here. and like the stage behind me, there's still a lot of unfinished business. brazil has poured more than $11 billion into making the cup a
7:18 am
success. but in the 12 cities where the matches will be played, construction has affected roads. getting to the stadiums will be a challenge. brazil's major cities are notorious for constant gridlock, made worse in recent weeks by on-again-off-again transit strikes. and just days before kickoff, a monorail under construction and behind schedule collapsed killing one person. an american has been studied the cup preparation and the trance po formation. >> disenchantment that's playing out on streets across the country. at this protest in sao paulo,

7:37 am
decision came from the court. the judge took a look at this and the case was brought by a number of students and the judge said essentially, look, you're not just entitled to access to education. you're entitled to a quality education and the judge then looked at the tenure rules here and basically conclude thad the tenure rules interfered with the ability of these students to get quality education. >> because what were the students arguing about? they're not getting a quality education because of tenured teachers. >> we recognize the variety p vast majority are tenured. what do you do with the ones that aren't? >> essentially seniority rules control that they're going to lay off and ultimately the judge concluded it was almost impossible to remove an unqualified teacher. said it took at many as two years to ten years. so the judge said having that
7:38 am
obstacle basically interfered with their right to a quality education i thought what's interesting is the judge cited brown versus board of education citing the laws in this case impose a real and appreciable impact on the students' fundamental rights to education. >> remember brown versus board of education in 1950s overturned an 1890s decision that separate but equal. the judge here adopted that thinking by saying that equal education means a quality education and the judge's conclusion judged that this was interfering with the students getting a quality education. the question is where does it go now obviously. it's not binding on anybody yet. it has to work its way through the appellate process. but it will be influential. other people will be taking look

it is wednesday, june 11th, 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including bob schieffer on a tea party triumph. the number two house republican is knocked out of congress, but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> this is simply unprecedented in modern political history. eric cantor was considered a shoo-in. >> the lesson is do not get too far from what your base wants and this is a big win for the activist. >> the campus is closed as authorities try to piece together what exactly happened here yesterday morning and why. >> americans fought and died in the struggles, but now the city has fallen to islamic
8:01 am
extremists. >> brazil has had seven years to prepare for the world cup but at the stadiums like the one behind me, there is still a lot of unfinished business. >> political analysts say the criticism that hillary clinton is somehow out of touch is going to be hard to make stick. >> the judge looked alt the tenure rules and ruled that they interfered with a student to get a quality education. >> drug traffickers are now using a more creative measure to get their loads up the highways and it's one you'll never see coming. >> i can't wait. >> you said you can't wait. i don't know how to break it to you. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the tea party is flying high this morning after a shocking upset in virginia's primary. house majority leader eric cantor lost his congressional
8:02 am
seat last night. it's a stunning deget for one of the most powerful republicans in washington. >> the winner is dave brat, a tea party activist. he calls this victory a miracle from god. that district around richmond is heavily republican. with us now white house chief correspondent and host of "face the nation," bob, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> is this a congressman who lost sight of his district and paid too much attention in washington or much more? >> i'm not sure it's about either of the candidates in this race, charlie. what this is about is the deep and widening divide in the republican party and it is still deep and it is wider than we had expected, even though right after the government shutdown, a lot of folks on the tea party side of the republican party kind of lost their luster. this was something that especially those on the establishment side had really
8:03 am
hurt the party, they thought. but they're still there, and this is the latest example. reports of the death of the tea party as mark twain once said about his own death being reported were greatly exaggerated. >> so define, bob, the difference between the fight for the republican party. >> the people on this side of the republican party are very, very frustrated and they don't see compromise as a way to settle things. they don't see making deals with democrats as a way to solve things. they kind of have an idea. they want very, very low taxes. they absolutely do not want any kind of immigration reform. and they don't see much way that any of what they want is going to get done by making deals with the other sigh. what they want is unclear what they're against and they're basically against everybody in establishment and in the elected
8:04 am
office right now. it's going to be very, very difficult now for speaker boehner now, i think. i think you'll probably soo a very conservative person run now for eric cantor's place in the republican leadership in the house. they may even try to just take on boehner himself directly. that would not surprise me. >> the world is that immigration reform is now dead in congress. do you think that, too, bob sitter? >> i think it was already dead but i think it's deader, if that's a way to put it. i don't think there's any chance. republicans at the national level and national republican candidates understand that the republican party if it's ever again to elect a president has to find some way to appeal to hispanics, but most republican congressmen in their district
8:05 am
dmots have a very large voting vote so voting against it is very easy for these republican congressmen. but, again, it just underlines this deep divide in the republican party right now. >> bob schieffer, do you think -- am i the only one that thinks that dave brat and eric cantor look a lot alike? do they look a lot alike to you? >> i hadn't been watching. >> look at them side by side. >> it brings new meaning to the fierceness of faculty and politics. the democrat who's going to face brat in the general election is also a professor at the same university where this university is coming from. >> remember newt gingrich is a former professor too. >> both from the same
8:06 am
