3:30 am
welcome to the overnight news. the push to unite the republican party behind donald trump takes a key step this week. the presumptive presidential nominee will meet with house speaker paul ryan on thursday. ryan, the highest ranking republican in washington says he is not ready to support trump for president. meanwhile, trump's likely democratic opponent hillary clinton is laying out her strategy for the general election. clinton spoke with john dickerson on face the nation. >> secretary clinton you said donald trump is a loose cannon, you said he is dangerous.
3:31 am
are you suggesting he is not of sound mind? >> i think that being a loose cannon means saying that other nations should go ahead and acquire nuclear weapons for themselves, when that is the last thing we need in the world today. being a loose cannon is saying we should pull out of nato. the strongest military alliance in the history of the world. and something that we really need to modernize but not abandon. i think saying that he is a loose cannon really focuses on some of the statements he has made which i find concerning. going back to torture. killing terrorist's families which would be a war crime. and those are just some of the concerns that i hear people talking about which i think does fit the definition of a loose cannon. >> but you are not making any claims about his underlying stability? >> i'm talking about what he has
3:32 am
said in this campaign. and continues to say. and the kind of agenda he is putting forth for our country which obviously i think would, not be in the best interest. >> what do you take away from the republican race now that it is over? >> well i have to say, the republicans themselves are raising questions about their presumptive nominee. and i think that's in large measure, john, because they do understand how hard the job of being president is. when you have former presidents, when you have high ranking republican officials in congress raising questions about their nominee i don't think it's personal so much as rooted in their respect for the office and their deep concern about what kind of leader he would be. >> you have said he should be asked hard questions since he is in the general election.
3:33 am
give me three hard questions he should be asked. >> when he says that americans don't need a raise. that's why he doesn't believe we should raise the minimum wage. what's that based on? because if you look at the -- evidence, and more than evidence, if you listen to the stories, as i have now for more than a year, of so many americans who haven't had a raise in 15 years. it raises serious issues about you know how well he understands what's happening in the economy to working people. >> so his answer would be, he wants to create jobs. and those jobs will raise wages. that would be. he is going to ask the question. he just has a different view? >> he doesn't have a view. he has the a slogan. he needs to be really pressed on that. when he says climate change is a chinese hoax.
3:34 am
what does that mean? has he talked to a scientist or just again assuming a slogan. when he said it is women should be punished for having abortions. what does that mean? and how would he go about that? or rounding up 11 million, 12 million people which he again repeated. which would entail the most comprehensive police and military action inside our borders that is imaginable. and you combine that with a lot of what he has the said about foreign policy. recently economic policy when he said he would renegotiate the national debt. maybe he doesn't understand that -- that running our government is not the same as making real estate deals. that -- putting the full faith and credit of the united states of america at risk would be a horrible outcome and would raise interest rates it would wipe away savings, cause a financial global meltdown. people need to be pressing him. and i don't think people get, especially in the media the at
3:35 am
least so far, into other than just the, response which, then, then, is not followed up on. >> one of the things people said about this race with respect to donald trump or even with respect to your race against bernie sanders is that specifics and details. voters want what they want. details and some times specifics are brought out, discussed fact checked and people want the canned tate they want. >> i can only tell you my experience which led to my putting out specific plans saying how i would pay for them. and as we sit here today, i have 3 million more volts than senator sanders and 2 million more votes than donald trump. so clearly there is a constituency for a candidate who says, look, we don't just diagnose the problem we offer solutions for the problem. because i want to run on agenda that the american people can hold me accountable for. you can go to hillaryclinton.com and read about my plans to make college affordable, to improve the affordable care act, what to do about climate change, how to create more infrastructure, manufacturing, clean energy jobs
3:36 am
and everything else that i have laid out. and exactly how i would pay for any new initiative. >> clinton also addressed the controversy over her use of a private e-mail server during her time as secretary of state. the fbi is investigating if the security of classified information was mishandled. here is more of her conversation with john dickerson. >> let me ask you about developments of the investigation into your e-mail server. apparently the fbi contacted your team in terms of contacting to you. what can you tell us about that? >> no one has reached out to me yet. last summer, last august i made it clear i am mr. noon ready to talk to anybody anytime. i have encouraged all of, you know, my assistants and, to be very forthcoming. and i hope that this close to being wrapped up. nobody said hillary clinton we would look to sit down and talk to you from the fbi. >> no.
3:37 am
>> if voters are thinking of you versus donald trump. some voters may be paying attention now in a different kind of way. what is your answer to those people who think fbi inquiry, that's a big deal. what do you say to them? >> i say what i have said now for many, many months. it its a security inquiry. i always took classified materials seriously. there was never any material, marked classified, that was sent or received by me. and i look forward to this being wrapped up. >> people think, well she might be president. what has she learned? >> that was a mistake. and i will say it again as often as i need to. seemed like a convenient idea at the time that certainly was not. so, i always take classified material seriously. there is no argument about that. that i am aware of. and i will continue to do so. and within whatever parameters are required for the president which i know a little bit about
3:38 am
having served with president obama. >> to watch hillary clinton's full interview go to cbsnews

moms across the country were celebrated yesterday on mother's day. deciding when to have a baby is a very personal choice. but more women are waiting longer to make that decision. we have more in a story for "sunday morning." >> yeah, we got a few orders in for mother's day over the weekend. >> reporter: when ila launched her baking business in 2009. she was hungry for success. what schedule were you working, sound like, 24 hours. >> 24 hours a day, seven days a week. >> reporter: nonstop. >> nonstop. >> thank you for stopping in. good seeing you. >> reporter: and it paid off. in just four years, she says,
3:41 am
evelyn's kitchen grew to be a seven figure business. then, in her early 40s, she wanted to expand again. in a different way. so why wait until your 40s to tripe to have a baby? >> we had other priorities. >> reporter: work came first. >> work came first. >> reporter: after several years and one miscarriage she gave up trying convince she'd waited too long. then in july of 2014. >> i just felt lethargic. didn't feel well. i was sure this was the first signs of menopause. i said this must be early onset menopause at this point the i've googled -- menopause. next morning i took a pregnancy test. >> reporter: and another. >> and another. >> reporter: and another. >> i think i took 13, 14. literally i was buying the five packs. >> reporter: they all came back
3:42 am
positive. on march 2, 2015, brooklyn emmanuel was born, five months later, brooklyn any mother turned 46. >> did you have any concerns or misgivings about being pregnant at your age? >> i was already thinking, like i am crazy taking her to kindergarten. i am going to be like the age of some people's grandparents, it will be like this is my daughter. >> it turns out she is not alone. nationwide, the number of babies born to women 45 and older, while still relatively small, has more than tripled in the past two decades. and the average age of first time mothers has climbed in every state across the country. seems like everywhere you look these days, you see a woman over 40 with a beautiful little angel like this one. meet my vivian, she turned one last february. her mother, over 40. do you see this as a temporary
3:43 am
phenomenon? >> no, this is no blip. a seismic shift. >> reporter: social psychologist susan newman says change on the american home front started with a revolution in the american work place. >> i think the omening up of careers and jobs for women actually paved the way more than anything else. women are staying in school longer. they're starting jobs but staying in them, getting themselves established on a career path if that's what they want. >> 40 is the new 30. everybody is older. if you have somebody that is 28. like a teen pregnancy. >> reporter: dr. joanne stone its director of maternal fetal medicine at mount sinai hospital in new york city. she says, waiting has its risks. >> so one in five couples who
3:44 am
are over 40 will have infertility. >> reporter: for those who do get pregnant. >> the woman who is 40, may have a one in 50 chance that the fetus may have chromosomal abnormality. medical combinations are higher as well. developing high blood pressure. developing diabetes during pregnancy. premature birth. stillbirth is higher. >> reporter: with medical advances the odds of limiting those risks have gotten better. so have the odds of actually conceiving. if you can kind of rattle off the ways one can get pregnant these days? >> so, there still its the old-fashioned, good old way of getting pregnant. >> sex. >> sex, right. probably the most fun way of getting pregnant. there is seeking fertility treatment. so using your own eggs, but maybe getting a little help with either some oral medication or injections and insemination. or there is in vitro
3:45 am
fertilization can involve your own eggs, could involve frozen, frozen eggs or embryos from an earlier time period or there is also the option for donor eggs. >> reporter: the use of assisted reproductive technology has more than tripled in the past two decades. but it can cost tens of thousands of dollars. and it's not always covered by insurance. still. >> having the ability to freeze eggs and embryos and make the decision when i was ready. ready as i was ever going to be. i couldn't have done it without science. >> reporter: on the day we met dr. stone, sunny was visited by 45-year-old patient. susan wils. a single mother pregnant again. her first child almost 2 and a half. >> you are feeling okay? >> yeah, i feel fine. >> baby looks perfect. good fluid. >> i didn't want to not have children. because i didn't meet the right guy. >> reporter: she relied on her backup plan instead. at 40, she froze embryos. her own eggs matched with sperm from a hand picked donor. how did you decide on the sperm donor? >> kind of look online shopping.
3:46 am
i had their photographs their interviews and their likes and dislikes. and i spent a friday afternoon narrowing it down. i had, a clear favorite. from the moment i saw his picture. a clear favorite. >> reporter: an embryo was implanted at age 42. at 43, she gave birth to her son. >> i think technology has made it so that women do have what they think of in their minds as a cushion, a security blanket. >> reporter: with that security blanket social psychologist susan newman says women are reshaping the american family. >> the fact of the matter its that families are getting smaller and smaller. some women who are older are -- are having second children. but the majority of them, especially the ones who use in vitro fertilization. 2/23 are stopping at one. >> will that change things? >> we will have fewer aunts and uncles. i don't really see that as a problem. because we will use friends as
3:47 am
substitute aunts and uncles. >> how old is too old? >> i would hate to put an absolute cutoff. i think, being 80 would be unreasonable. >> i love you. 80 is too old. hear that, mom. >> 80 may be too old. but 40-something feels just right. at least for the mothers we met. >> i think i always knew, always wanted to be a mom. ♪ ♪ old mcdonald had a farm ♪ >> i never once considered life without children. the best thing i ever did. >> what does the cat say? moo. >> we will be right back. you can finally break up with bleach. lysol with hydrogen peroxide. for a tough clean with zero percent bleach.
