it is wednesday, march 22nd, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including google's ambitious plans to reshape our world. we'll go inside the company with two top executives and find out how they manage to keep innovating, but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. the white house hoped the visit to congress would create a majority for the bill. it did not. more arm twisting certainly lies ahead. democrats over here, they want to know specific cases, trying to show he may be reluctant to stand up to the president. >> his latest attempt came after the u.s. intelligence had detected a north korean mobile missile lawn cher on the news. john driscoll tells cbs news

the new ban cuts in half the ability to get a bomb on board a plane, but he and others concede this is not a silver bullet. >> we're with the iraqi special forces on the front lines. to paint a picture for you, these oil tankers have been put up to stop suicide vehicles. nearly 40,000 homes and businesses are without power after deadly storms moved across the northeast. legendary game show host chuck barris is being credited with changes the face of american tv. >> do you know at one point chuck barris was responsible for supplying american homes with 27 hours of tv a week? >> he didn't get enough credit. >> and made a ton of money. >> there's that too. i i'm charlie rose with anthony mason and alex wagner. norah and gayle are off. the republican plan to

replace obamacare faces a major test when the house votes tomorrow. at least 24 house republicans currently oppose the current health care act the bill will fail to pass if more than 24 vote no. all democrats are expected to oppose the measure. >> president trump made another pitch. he said the american people gave the gop clear instructions. >> that legislative effort begins with thursday's crucial vote. it really is a crucial vote for the republican party and for the people of our country. to finally repeal and replace the disaster known as obamacare. >> earlier the president met with all house republicans behind closed doors. he warned that the gop could suffer heavy losses in next year's midterm elections if they fail to repeal obamacare. major garrett is at the white

house. good morning. >> good morning. so what you have is a disagreement between thehouse and some rekals trant republicans, many on the republican side what it means to repeal obamacare. some say the bill before them doesn't do that and so what enthe president argues with them you've got to do this because we have to replace obamacare, that irresponse to the white house is, wait a minute, this bill doesn't repeal obamacare. that's what i promised my constituents i would do and this bill doesn't go far enough. and, anthony, and everyone, i can tell you they put together a meeting to try to persuade them once again in an intense five i effort at the white house to get the votes needed because as the president said it's not only crucial about repealing and replacing obamacare, much of its legislative agenda he says he hopes will follow that. >> where does the threatening style leave the bill?

>> it's interesting. they're ahead of the free tom caucus. he said he doesn't feel threatened by the president. but what the white house argues and many republicans agree is if this repeal effort fails, all the promises made in campaigns for every republican member of the house leading up to their career at this point would be broken and that's a promise they simply cannot break. but then you get back to this existential question does this do the job. the no-votes say it doesn't. until that's revolved, the white house doesn't have the votes and threats or persuasion, whatever you call it, will require some more. >> this is the first stage of the fight, right? this still has to pass the senate. can it do that without significant changes to whatever the house passes. >> so the house republican leadership has always had an eye on what can pass the senate if this house bill passes. the white house strategy is now we can't afoerd defeat. we'll dewith all the

complexities of the senate negotiations when we get to that. but we can't start those negotiations until this bill passes the house. if it fails to pass the house, the entire effort is over and it's a failing defeat for the white house, something president trump has no appetite for whatsoever. >> major, thank you. senators this morning will begin their second round of questions. gorsuch didn't reveal much on how he'll deal with specific controversial issues but he said he would have no difficulties reviewing any party and the decisions are based on the law and facts of the particular case. at one point senator patrick leahy asked about a republican's comments on the immigration order. >> a republican congressman recently said the best thing the president can do for his muslim ban is to make sure he has gorsuch on the supreme court before the appeals get to that

point. >> senator, a lot of people say a lot of silly things. my grandfather -- >> that's more than silly. he wants -- this congressman wants you on the court so he can uphold a muslim ban. >> senator, he has no idea how i'd rule in that case. and, senator, i'm not going to say anything here that would give anybody any idea how i'd rule in any case like that that could come before the supreme court or my court of the tenth circuit. >> senate democrats say to follow up regarding gorsuch's time in the bush justice department. if the next hour we'll talk with republican senator lindsey graham who is among those who questions gorsuch. we'll get his thoughts on the wiretap allegations and north korea's latest missile test. violent weather has left nearly 40,000 homes without power in georgia. a deadly storm tore through the southeast. a north georgia man was killed

when a tree fell on his home. in a separate incident, man was trapped for an hour when a large tree crushed his trailer. h was pinned to his mattress. you can see his head and arms. in north carolina lightning set this house on fire. everyone was able to escape there. google revolutionized everything from internet searches to maps. two company insiders are in our toyota green room. eric schmitt and jonathan rosen

everybody's assuming we're going to compete if the next war. that's how google works. every idea i have is from the old times. they say, oh, eric, that's an old idea. why don't you try this new idea. i never thought of it. that's the purple of google. >> that was eric schmidt speaking to "60 minutes" in 2005 about how the company keeps up with innovation. google has soared to $90 billion in 2016 leading to concerns of some staff about how it functions. loaders restrength tured under a parent company called alphabet to encourage more innovation and so-called moonshot programs. >> eric smith and jonathan rosenburg just updated their best selling book "how google

works." it contains lessons they learned while growing the giant. we' we're pleased to have you here. >> thanks for having us. >> how does alphabet work differently than google? >> when you take a company that triples in size, most companies grow the same but ultimately you have to organize around people who have the biggest impact. what we did is took those people and put them in charge of companies. >> let me go to two people who founded this company. how is it different for sergei and how is it different for larry? >> for both of them they have ceos that have businesses and they run google with changes internally. >> what are they doing? >> the way larry put it about alphabet, it's getting more ambitious things done, even more ambitious things. so by having a set of ceos to scale around to find the type of technical insides, larry and

sergei are able to spend a lot of time with them and things are under senn door. >> how do you figure that out? >> i think you figure that out with ceos who can really find technical insights. if you look at the beginning of google, customers didn't foe they wanted search. customers didn't know they wanted g-mail photos. they thought they wanted photos sorted in order out of the shoe box. now we can find hugs. >> the two founders spent a whole day with a particular technical team not only figuring out the technical size but the business side. >> they're interesting in a whole lot beyond google. >> their ambitions are very, very broad. if you think about self-driving cars, which is something larry talked about for a long time ore all the artificial intelligence they worked on when they were

graduate substitutes. alpha be it is a culmination of what they did 15 years ago. >> how far away are we from self-driving cars? >> i've been in one. i can tell you the experience starts with being scared. >> it take 20s minutes to recover in my experience. you go from being scared to being skpil rated to being bored in about five minutes and then you feel like you're on a train or a bus. >> how soon are they going to be on the streets? >> within the next year or two. we're testing now in four cities. i think the technology will work well. think of the number of people. i hate to say it, but there are more than 30,000 people who are going to die on american highways. that's a terrible, terrible cost. >> what's the prediction for driverless carsome. >> we hope to have none or a very small number. >> let's talk about the landscape at large in silicon

valley. you both talk about diversity. we're in a particular moment right now in america where we're looking at what keeps america innovating, what keeps american drops driving. this president has talked about h b1 visas. i know this is the advocates that gets fork workers to silicon valley. where do you stand on that? >> the industry is completely you nighted on diversity inclusion and high skills immigration. it is insane to allow people to stay in other countries who want to come to our country to create new companies, new jobs, create wealth, and power our economy. we want all of that talent to come to america to found the kind of companies that google represents and alphabet and the many others that will happen. you're literally crazy to say to those people you're not allowed in the country because you're a foreigner. >> are you an optimistic? where does that leave you at the

moment? >> we're united in the industry that if you want economic growth in jobs, remember the five most are tech companies right now. if you want more of them, you need to have this high-skilled labor cominging in. changes in h b1 visa should allow for more, not fewer people. >> where is alphabet in china today? >> we're in china. the main efforts in china allow chinese markets to market all over the world successfully with our products. a search is run out of hong kong. >> that's right. >> so you have to go to hong kong. >> we do that because the chinese government blocks some access to our services. they do that because of some of the senn shoreship censorship rules. >> search has been hobbled by

the chinese government. >> what could cause america to lose its technological and its scientific edge which has powered its economy? >> well, this administration has proposed cutting some of the basic science research. that's also in my view a mistake and probably industries as a whole would have the same view. the reason is there are rules of the government that are difficult to have technology or companies replace. the internet itself came out of a darker grant. it was a military program. there are so many things that come out of funding. medical funding is proposed to be cut. those cuts need to be restored. >> are we going to see more women in silicon valley? >> we certainly hope sow. >> how are you going make that happen? >> a machine learning day vis. geena davis noticed women have

less screen time in movies than men. we use machine learning. it told us men speak twice as much as women. >> i can't imagine. >> sharing that with producers and directors has helped them understand they need to give more women screen time. >> it's a work in progress. thanks so much for your time. congrats on the paper bark. it's on sale right now. ahead, we'll talk to the south carolina republican about judge gorsuch, his wiretapping allegations and north korea. plus, a famous player's confession on the "wheel of fortune." you're watching "cbs this morning."

>> senator joins us. good morning. >> that's a good way to wake up. good morning. i like jackie wilson too. that was a good call. >> you retain your title as the fun yaft man in the senate. >> it's not a hard title to win. speaking of judge gore circumstance he's one of the most qualified people to ever be nominated. 2,700 cases to be decided frmgts overruled once by a supreme court. i never seen a man more qualified. i hope he gets 60 votes. if he doesn't, it means it woul >> you know how to count. will he get it? >> i think so. i think he's more than qualified. i voted for sold mayor and kagan because i thought they were qualified. they were great women of the law. they had a different perspective but judge gorsuch is a mainstream conservative and vee a hearing. he's aquisted himself well.

and the point i was trying to make is illegal under the detainee act. he acknowledged that. the president's backed off from waterboarding but nobody is above the law. >> so you're not expecting a democratic fill buster? >> i hope not. if there is, that means qualifications no longer matter, it's only about politics and the only way you can vote against him is for political reasons not for politics and thateltion did. you know i voted for sotomayor and kagan because i thought president obama had the right to pick qualified people different than i would have chosen. i'm hoping myc colleagues will not change the rules of the senate because he's earned it with a life well liveal. well qualified by the american bar association. president trump could not have chosen better. this is one of the best people he could have chosen as a conservative in the entire

country. >> you seem to be full of accolades with president trump's pip. but what about the editorial about president trump's resistance on the wiretapping claims. when the president doesn't show more respect for the truth more machineries may conclude he's a fake president. your thoughts on that. >> i think the president accused president obama of a felony. he accused him of wiretapping his campaign. the fbi director said there was no evidence of such activity. the national security nsa director said the same thing. i think the burden is on president trump to justify those statements or to retract them. we live in a constitutional democracy. we live in a country where the rule of law does matter and when you have the highest official in the land, the president of the united states accusing his predecessor of illegal activity with no evidence that hurts our democracy. >> and if he refuses to back down? >> i think he will suffer over time with the american people.

you know, the great movie love is never having to say you're sorry, what was that? "love story?" >> "love story." >> here's what i would say to the president. it doesn't mean having to say you're sorry if you did something wrong. most americans would appreciate if the president had the ability to say i made a mistake, i'm sorry. if you can't do that, then that's going to hurt you over time with the american people because there will come a day when you'll have to look the tv in the eye and tell them north korea is about to develop a missile that will hit our home landland and i want to stop them. i think president trump is going to put his credibility at risk if he continues his narrative without proof. >> the president in a meeting said he was going to come after them if they didn't vote for this health care replacement bill. are you worried in the senate what he might say to you? >> i want to help president trump replace obamacare. obamacare has been a disaster in

my state. we're down to one provider. people have insurance but it doesn't mean anything because it costs so much. let me tell you what won't work in washington. when one politician tells another politician you have to vote for a bill because if you don't, you'll lose your job, most would say, that's not a good reason. i want to help popp replace and repeat obamacare but i will not vote for a bill because i believe it's better than obamacare and the last thing you want to tell lindsey graham, you have to pass this bill because i told you to. that's not called draining the swamp. they were afraid of president obama and his political machine and they voted for a bill they really didn't believe in and the rest is history. i don't intend to do that. to mark meadows from north carolina, the freedom caucus say nos to almost everything. i'm not a freedom caucus type person but in this case stick to

your guns if you don't believe the american people. don't let any politician tell you you must vote for a bill or you'll lose your job because how do you explain to the people you represent, the reason i voted for this bill is because i was afraid i would lose my job. that's not a good reason to do it. i certainly will not do it. >> appreciate your time. >> higher and higher. something like that. oscar winner matt damon is on a clean mission to bring clean water to more than 60 mill people around the world. higher and higher. he co-authored it with garry white and they're in the toy a green room with how

oscar winner matt damon is known for being a leading man in movies like "the marchand," "ocean "oceans eleven" and overs. but offscreen he's looking to bring water to people worldwide. >> he's teemed up with gary white. their goal is to help more than 660 million people without access to safe water. it lesset people in the

developing world access small loans for watering connects or toilet. they help more than 5 million get water. good morning, gents. great to see you. a great and important topic to be talking about, matt. people don't understand why water. >> it's hard for people to understand in the west because none of us have been stepthirst. we're steps away from clean water. there are public faucets we can accent. the water in our toilets are cleaner than that that the 660 million people have access to. that's our first hurdle to clear, just explaining to people here in our country that this is a problem because this is killing a child every 90 seconds. you know, which is really unconscionable in this day and age. >> this really came home to you on a trip to ethiopia, which is

one of the countries that you're in, right? >> yeah. it's -- you know, we've run across these women and girls because it's primarily women and girls who are affected by this disproportionately because the water collection will usually fall to them. so you have all of these girls who aren't in school because they're tasked with scavenging water for the family. you can see what that would do if their outcome or what they can expect from their life. not only is this unnecessarily killing children, but it's also really affecting their lives in other ways. it's robbing them of hope. >> what can be done? >> well, for one, we're celebrating world water day today and, you know, you're having us on to kind of try to help people become aware of this. >> so beyond recognition. >> well, beyond recognition and yoing going to water.org and learning more and making a donation, you know, for us, i mean i guess we can talk about

water credit or talk about -- >> you are trying to raise $200 billion. >> for water equity. >> yes. >> in kind of a new way. what are you looking at doerng here? >> first of all, one thing people can do very concretely, we're partnering with stella artois. what we're doing is looking at this from a completely different perspective. we know the people in these countries are already paying huge amounts of money for water and what we want to do is help them get access to small loans because we know there's never going to be enough charity to get water for everyone. i was in peru last week. i met a woman who took out a loan for a water connection to her house. before that she was having to walk down the mountainside to buy wateren from a water vendor, poor quality water. that water was costing her 13 times more per gallon than water

she has in her tap. so you can see there are about 500 million people in the world who could get access to water and sanitation through small loans, we believe. that's the genesis of the water credit, we believe. to go beyond philanthropy to investing. >> the great thing about these loans is they pay back at 99% and 94% are women. so what happens is the loans as they come back, they get sent out and recycle so you're driving down the philanthropic capital per person. normally like digging a well, it's about $25 to bring someone clean water for life. in our most mature programs we've got that down to $5 because the money keeps going out and coming back. >> do you have evidence that it's resonating aurjds the w0r78d? you've been to international conferences in places where it's complex, there are all kinds of wars going on and conflicts takig place.

>> that's great question. i think all we can do is keep trying to get the word out and hope that it resonates. i do hope that certainly this generation of millennials is far more dialed into this stuff than i was. our generation x, i think, was entirely out to lunch. but i think as our world gets more connected, people are a lot more aware of some of these things. >> do you feel we're at the precipice of a more national list america given what we're doing in certain sectors. >> or not. >> are you optimistic about america's role and people who want to engage? >> i'm always optimistic with americans and americans' role in the world irrespective of the administration and what they're doing. and, again, the foreign aid thing isn't a partisan thing. over the last four presidents was former president george

bush. i remember being in africa and zambia and somebody coming out and hugging me and thought i was an american and wanted to say thank you and said i'm alive. they had aids nlds were given life-saving medicine and that was all due to george w. bush. >> to travel and see -- to touch the people whose lives have been changed will forever change you as a person, i think. >> that's right. and i think foreign aid can get -- you know, it can get a bad wrap and people are told it's money down a rabbit hole. the water, for example, you get $8 back for every dollar invest and there's the whole national security piece.

it was james mattis who said three or four years ago, if you cut this state department budget, you know, you've got to buy me more ammunition. this soft power or this -- it's incredibly important. >> in a technological age -- and i need a quick answer here -- is it likely we'll figure a way for destall inization. >> we believe in taking approaches like water credit and equity fund we can use capital to get sanitation and water for the poor. >> thank you both for being here this morning. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
