7:04 am
>> reporter: good morning. this is the hall on the university campus where my low yiannopoulos was to speak. the police are putting the blame not on students but outside agitators. yiannopoulos is an editor at the breitbart newses who comments have been thought of as racist and misogynistic and protesters said he had no place on this famously liberal campus. protesters broke down barricades, smashed windows, and caused a fire at the university campus. it caused the cancellation of a speaker myilo yiannopoulos, being led away in glasses. >> it's necessary to take a stand against bigotry, racism,
7:05 am
home oh phobia. >> this is not at a proud night for this campus, the home of the free speech movement. >> i do not believe our students were involved in the vandalism. this was a group of agitators that were masked up. >> reporter: after the speech was canceled they took their protest off campus. >> look at this place. look at it. what caused all this. seriously. >> yiannopoulos. >> it doesn't matter. we learn by talking, by listening. >> reporter: yiannopoulos was wrapping up a speech tour. >> an ugly woman have far more likely to be a feminist than a hot one. the group issued a stamtd saying its constitutional right to free speech was silenced by criminals and thugs. our stay in the bay area

7:07 am
there. obvious long ago. >> it follows the report the president gave australia's prime minister a tongue lashing over the phone. margaret brennan is at the white house with the administration's blunt messages. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. president trump is taking a combative approach to foreign policy, ee ban donning diplomacy for strong rhetoric. that leaves rex tillerson starting his first day as secretary of state with a number of diplomatic crises. secretary of state rex tillerson was sworn into office in the oval last night hours after national security adviser michael flynn issued a warning to iran. >> as of today, we are officially putting iran on notice. >> reporter: flynn accused the country and its allies of destabilizing the middle east. cbs news has learned there was an attack because they thought
7:08 am
it was an american ship. that attack coupled with their recent test launch of ballistic missiles triggered this angry response. >> now instead of feeling thankful iran is feeling emboldened. >> reporter: these kinds of tests are discouraged but not completely prohibited since the missile was not carrying a nuclear warhead. >> i think the iran dealing is one of the worst deals i've ever seen. >> reporter: at the time he pledged to cancel it but the white house says that's no longer the case. in a tweet last night mr. trump said he might back out of a deal. saying the obama administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from australia. why? i'll study this dum
7:09 am
>> it's frank, can did, privately. >> he did inquire about an obama administration pledge to resettle over 1,200 mostly muslim refugees from australia. >> the president assured me that he would continue with -- honor the agreement we entered into the obama administration with respect to the refugee resettlement. >> but given trump's four-month ban on all refugees, this raises the question whether america will keep this commitment and others. gayle? >> thanks, margaret. this vote shows how contentious nearly all of the president's nominations are on capitol hill. republicans sent two other nominations to the senate floor after democrats boycotted a committee vote for the second straight day. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the discord that is rarely seen in the senate. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. that's right. you've about got democrats
7:10 am
accusing republicans of breaking the rules, republicans acushion democrats of not doing their job. now one is facing opposition in her own party and if one more republican turns against her, she'll be defeated. >> they announced wednesday they can't support billionaire betsy devos for secretary of education. >> i have heard from thousands, truly thousands of alaska ns about their concerns about mrs. devos and their concerns are like mine, her lack of experience with public educationing. >> she also talked about her rocky confirmatio hearing. >> i would imagine there's probably a gun in the school to protect from potential grizzlies. >> but gop leaders insist devos will squeak through.
7:11 am
the nominations for attorney general, treasury secretary, and secretary of health and human services got one step closer to confirmation yesterday. >> mr. graham. >> aye. >> mrs. feinstein. >> no. >> mr. leahy. >> no. >> and a democratic boycott. republicans call it a cheap political ploy. >> they're not even showing up. if a stujt doesn't show up, they flunk the class. if a worker double show up, they get fired. >> democrats are responding to a riled up base that's urging them to resist, but the constant clash over cabinet picks is taking a toll on the typically collegiate senate. p>> i object again. >> i object again. the senator can't get the message from the chairman that this is over the top inappropriate. >> i think d --
7:12 am
>> could you please leave personalities out of it? >> in case you're wondering because it was hard to make out, it was over the civil rights record of senator jeff sessions and his confirmation hearing to be attorney general, norah. >> all right, nancy. thank you. president trump's supreme court nominee is making the rounds on capitol hill while democrats dig in for a fight. judge neil gorsuch met with senators including mitch mcconnell. he gave mcconnell a green light to change the rules, letting republicans confirm the new justice with a simple majority of 51 votes. >> i would say if you can, mitch, go to them. if a man of this quality was caught up in the web. i would say it's -- it's up to mitch, but i would say go for it. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer called the so-called
7:13 am
option a false frank lund is a cbs contributor. how likely is it? >> it's not clear now. their hope is they won't need to, that the nominee's background, and experience will indicate he's more than just qualified. the hope is this will be the one trump pick that's unifying them. quite frankly we've never seen anything like this on capitol hill in my 25 washington, d.c. no sense of civility, no sense of common analyst, and i expect these protests that you've shown on your air and the disagreement between republicans and democrats to actually increase as time goes on. >> do you think the country's unraveling?
7:14 am
>> i do. i think we've got 1968 all over again and i'm very concerned about the consequences of that. you saw in the berkeley protest. it's not people standing up and speaking out, which is a good thing. when you are willing to participate in a political process and take your time to have your voice heard, that's a positive. but, charlie, when it turns violence, when the language, the tone, you start destroying buildings and attacking people, that's when you know you've gone too far and there's no sense of self-editing, there's no sense of shame, there's no sense of going too far. and i'm afraid of what you're seeing in washington is a reflection of these pictures that you're seeing across the country today. >> frank, what you're seeing and saying is certainly very, very frightening. we were at a dinner party last night. everybody was talking about this. do you see any signs that are enkurlging to you? anything that gives you a silver lining? >> only one. that donald trump is actually trying to do something we're not
7:15 am
used no american politics, which he is actually keeping his promises. for half of american, that's a horrible thing because they didn't want those promises in the first place. but to have an elected official who says what he means and means what he says, that's a positive. the problem is the tone, the tone alt that comes from the white house and the american people themselves. if you don't know that line to stop when you go so far, it only encourages others to attack back. and, frankly, gayle, nobody's listening. if you're not listening, you're not learning, and you cannot lead. >> thank you is very much. donald trump made an unannounced visit to the dover air force base to honor a fallen servicemember. william ryan owens was killed on sunday during a raid in awith a
7:16 am
qaeda in yemen. they say civilians were also killed. good morning. >> good morning. the plan had been in place for months during the obama administration but didn't get the final go ahead until president trump met with his chief of defense james mattis. donald trump returned to the white house last night with his daughter ivanka after paying respects to the first american killed in combat on his watch. >> very sad, very beautiful. ryan, a great man. >> 36-year-old william ryan owens, a decorated member of s.e.a.l. team 6 died in a raid in an al qaeda hideout. u.s. forces targeted a compound where they hoped to capture cell phones and laptops that would lead them to other al qaeda operatives in the arabian
7:17 am
peninsula. it turned into a fire fight when armed civilians shot at them. 14 al qaeda operatives died according to the defense department which concluded regrettably that cybilian noncombatants were likely killed and the dead may include children. u.s. central command called this case especially tragic. >> what he did for this nation and what he got out of the mission, i believe it's going to save american lives. >> the fire fight lasted an hour and three more navy s.e.a.l.s were wounded. a medevac was called in to pick up the wounded but it made a hard landing injuring three more servicemen. no longer flyable, the $77 million aircraft had to be destroyed on the ground and a second medevac was sent in to

better off healthy. hi, i'm frank. i take movantik for oic, opioid-induced constipation. had a bad back injury, my doctor prescribed opioids which helped with the chronic pain, but backed me up big-time. tried prunes, laxatives, still constipated... had to talk to my doctor. she said, "how long you been holding this in?" (laughs) that was my movantik moment. my doctor told me that movantik is specifically designed for oic and can help you go more often. don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. movantik may cause serious side effects, including symptoms of opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea, and tears in the stomach or intestine.

8:01 am
democrats for not doing their job. >> i expect this to increase as time goes on. >> do you think the country's unraveling? >> i do think it's unraveling. i think we've got 1968 all over again and i'm very concerned about that. >> there are still two prison employee hostages. as far as we know, theory still inside. >> six more weeks of winter. >> i hope he's wrong. >> i'm not going to bet my house on this. >> donald trump was pihas picke one. >> judge neil gorsuch and his wife. step forward. please, louise. >> please, louise, everybody cut, everything cut footloose. thank you very much.
8:02 am
i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. violent protests at university of california berkeley are fueling new debate over free speech. about 1,500 took part in campus demonstrations. some starts fires and smashed windows. police are blaming the violence on outside agitators, not students. a lockdown of the school has been lifted. >> protesters were upset about a planned speech by "breitbart news'" my low yiannapolis. he was attack last year for attacks against leslie jones. he denies he's ratest or sexist. trump tweeted the morning if uc berkeley does not allow free speech and -- no federal funds.
8:03 am
>> the senate narrowly confirmed his nomination. the president stied with ex-son's retired ceo and said it's time to bring a clear eyed focus to foreign affairs. >> to seek new solutions grounded in very ancient truths. these truths include the fact that nations have a right to protect their interests, that all people have a right to freely pursue their own destiny and that all of us are better off when we act in concert and not in conflict. >> earlier the former cia director david pre tray yas said the u.s. cannot solve everything but should play an important role. >> americans should not take the order for granted. it did not will itself into sis expense. we created it. likewise it's not naturally
8:04 am
self-sustaining. we have sustained it. fe with we stop doing so, it will fray and eventually collapse. >> margaret brennan is at the white house where the president and others are now focusing on iran. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. % >> it's unusual to see the national security adviser come to the briefing room and he had a message for iran. what was behind that? >> well, norah, frankly, it looks like iran is testing our new president. yesterday iran's defense minister publicly announced this missile test and said they would continue. we also have learned that a recent attack on a saudi ship carried out by iranian-backed rebels was motivated by the fact they thought they were hitting an machinery ship. those two things triggered flynn's rhett rinne. now thu.s. says they're going t
8:05 am
hold iran accountable for the rhetoric they're carried out that. is something that israeli and arab allies really like to haerks but white house aides wouldn't tell reporter us just what this means rchlt there u.s. sanctions coming down? are there perhaps of perhaps threats of armed conflict? what i've learned so far, there's not been any diplomatic outreach. >> i know you've seen it but he said this. do you believe it? the obama administration allowed to take thousands from australia. why? i will study this dumb deal. what message does this send to our allies? >> to be honest, it's not clear what the president is haying here but it's fair to say he's not going to honor the commitments. the deal he's talking about was cut back in november by the obama administration as a favor
8:06 am
to the australian government that does a lot of intelligence sharing with america, particularly spying. republicans have praeshsly protested it and now president trump seems to say he's reconsidering it even though the australian prime minister thought he had personal assurances that america would stand by it. >> can you clear up how tense was that phone call and did anybody hang up on one another? >> well, australia seems to be trying to dampen down the upset over this story. the white house says it was a 25-minute phone call and that there were no threats. i think you can read into the president's tweet this morning he's taking a pretty hard line with one of our closest partners. >> margaret, thank you so much. secretary of defense james mattis is in asia this morning. he will try to reassure japan and south korea.
8:07 am
he will reassure them in the commitment to the region. our adriana diaz is there. adriana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. by choosing to come to south korea first, secretary mattis's message is clear. america first didn't men backing out. on top of the agenda, the rising threat of north korea. >> first offing of authority. south korea is now uncertain about its standing with america. >> we defend south korea, we defend saudi arabia, we defend countries. do not pay us what they should be paying us. >> president trump's campaign rhetoric sent jitters through the region. if at odds with statements from his new defense attorney. >> there's a strong trusted
8:08 am
relationship between our two countries and it's our commitment to make it even stronger. >> clearing up that confusion is the primary goal of that trip. >> there ooh 'as paln't universe. number one, let south cree yas know who they're dealing with. >> mattis is expected to focus talks on containing increasingly aggressive north korea. the country's capabilities keep growing. kim jong-il plans to launch missiles that can hit. >> they stand ready. already experiencing the tension. >> the tension is felt south.
8:09 am
north korea is probably watching trump and looking for tujts to cause problems this woman told us. this professor agrees. >> once they get a read, especially on where the trump administration is going, then they're going to start acting whatever their strategy is. >> they reaffirmed america's commitment to install an anti-missile system here knowned a s.a.d. they're expecting to discuss american troops based there as well as a rising china. norah? >> great reporting adriana diaz in seoul. thank you. ahead, a look at never before seen footage from the campaign trail from the producers who brought us the political series

8:33 am
but conservatives are reporting liberal praise outside of washington and they're targeting red state democrats and manchin. he's up for re-election. he sounded ready to compromise telling reporters he thinks gorsuch should be able to get bipartisan report. with just 52 seats in the senate, if republicans can't convince 80 to vote they may be forced to exercise that so-called nuclear option which would allow them to confirm a new justice with republican votes alone. charlie? >> thank you so much. fewer than three months have passed since president trump's election. we're taken behind the scenes. >> what do you think more of, kasich or clintonsome.
8:34 am
>> clinton. i think i'm going to do very well. >> do you think she's afraid of you? >> the last person she wants to run against is me. i know that from her people. >> what are her people talking to you about that? >> they talk to me. >> do you remember talking to bill clinton? >> a long time ago. >> the meesh is called "trump." it includes never before seen footage. the documentary's from the same team that worked on the political team, "the circus." john heilemann is an executive producer of both projects. he joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> was there a turning point that you can point to that say this is when it shifted in his favor? >> it ease funny. we ask the question in the movie to john podesta and others. all three of them said the seam thing. the moment for them was really
8:35 am
early, the moment when he attacked john mccain for having been a prisoner of wall. they looked up and said there's some different physics that apply to this guy. he's not mortal. i think one of the things you see over the course of the movie, there's not one moment. trump in some ways was a runaway train from the very beginning through the very end. there's a sense you get in watching it for almost over two hours. he was certainly through the nomination fight unstoppable. >> you mean that something was going on? >> not that something was going on. he did ten things from the announcement through the votes in iowa. ten things which would have killed any candidate. he got stronger, which is a strange thing. >> i remember him saying i'm running out of holidays, he'll
8:36 am
be out by thanksgiving, he'll be out by christmas, and running out of holidays. >> what's striking that contradicts conventional wisdom is throughout the campaign you would have supposedly smart people say, did he really want to be president? one of the things you see especially with the interviews we did on board his plane coming out of the convex, on board his plane after the new hampshire victory and at mar-a-lago. he was hungry. he wanted to win from the beginning. he thought he would win from the beginning and his visit real desire for the office is much more apparent looking at it some of the footage. >> he said if i don't win this thing, it's wasting a lot of my money and time. >> yeah.
8:37 am
>> here you have reports that the hillary campaign thought it began with president obama not doing enough in terms of the russian hacking. >> i think that's a retrospective thing, right? i think now they look back and given that the race was won or last in the last seven days or so, you look back and say, my god, there are a million things that could have changed the outcome. obviously they think if james comey hasn't done what he did, she might have one. there's a compelling thing in this film that i find so poignant is this interview i did with john podesta at 3:45 on election night. i said, what would it be like if he loses. eh said it would be terrible and devastating for a guy like this to be president. but when he said it's not going to happen, there was a slight look in his eye that he had a little slight premonition early morning on election day that he wasn't fully department. i think it's the one moment i saw anybody on the clinton
8:38 am
campaign betray any sense that they thought she might lose. 3:45 on election day. she came home from her last campaign event. again, they had been so confident throughout the entire fall that she would win, she had an electoral college lock, he could never be president, and then there was this little moment in john podesta's eyes early morning on election day like maybe we might actually lose. >> there was a moment, november 9th, 2:00 a.m., how did we get this wrong, how would we miss. >> that was the moment on election night when every network, all of us and republicans and democrats and many assumed he was going to lose until 10:00 on election night. the polling turned out to be
8:39 am
wrong. one thing we found out is it's important to cover the candidates, hold them accountable, but don't take your eye off the country. >> don't take your eye off the voters. >> that's what i mean. we cover the candidates but ignore the country or don't pay enough attention to the country. i think one of the things we should all learn from this, the candidates are important but what's going on nut the country is just as important. >> yes. never assume. make an ass out of you and me is what i learned in school. >> you have a cameo in the movie, you have a cameo in the movie, you have a cameo in the movie. you're all in the movie. you made contributable efforts in our movie. thank you very much. >> it aired on showtime tomorrow night, a division of cbs. martellus bennett trying to win a super bowl just like his brother did. >> you've been on the end of a winnd a loss in these games. >> you considered the possibility. >> i don't consider that possibility. my mindset is he's going to get
