out. welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is off so jeff glor is with us. always good to have you. we we again with a dramatic turning point in the fight against isis. u.s. backed forces are celebrating the defeat of isis in its former strong hold of raqqa. >> there are multiple reports that the city has fallen. fighters from the syrian democratic forces are dancing and they are chanting in the streets. >> losing raqqa is a major blow for isis. the group once called the city its capital. holly williams is inside raqqa with the military and the challenge is still ahead. >> reporter: good morning. from the very heart of raqqa, this place used to be an ordinary traffic circle but then isis turned into a place where they carried out public executions. they posted the evidence of

those horrific killings on the internet. now, the circle was retaken by these u.s. backed syrian forces last night and yesterday we witnessed them on the streets of raqqa celebrating. they were in a victorious mood after a full month long battle. it is a bizarre feeling to be here because during the three plus years that isis was in control of raqqa, if i had somehow made it into isis territory i would almost certainly have been taken captive and very likely killed. now, there are thought to be isis fighters still lurking and building in buildings and in tunnels here in raqqa and it could take months until the city is finally cleared of explosives that were laid by isis. then they will somehow have to find a way to rebuild this shattered city. where there is hardly a building that is unscathed. some buildings like this one over here have been left pulverized by fighting. others like the one behind me have been flattened by u.s. air strikes. nearly all of the residents from

raqqa, perhaps all of them have left the city and many are in refugee camps. it is a terrible irony that in order to retake raqqa from isis they've had to destroy it. >> that is ironic but a very big day there. thank you very much. holly williams reporting. president trump is promising to take action against the opioid epidemic after an investigation by 60 minutes and the washington post. >> i did see the report. we're going to look into the report. we're going to take it very seriously because we're going to have a major announcement probably next week on the drug crisis and on the opioid massive problem. >> mr. trump is expected to declare the opioid epidemic a national emergency next week. the president also said he might consider replacing his drug czar nominee, pennsylvania congressman tom marino. he sponsored a new law that weakened the drug enforcement administration's control over opioid drug distributors. in 2016 more than 64,000

americans died from drug overdoses. most from opioids. that's the year that the law took effect. nancy is on capitol hill with the response from congress. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, many members were blind sided. they say they had no idea that the bill they passed unanimously last year may have tied the dea's hands. now, some of the bill's authors say the problems are being overblown but others can see there are going to be theee changes. >> reporter: lawmakers areng to figure out how they unwutingly passed a bill that weakened the dea. the law makes it harder for drug enforcement officers to block suspicious shipments of opioids that can flood the black market and fuel addiction. >> there should have been a giant flashing red light. >> missouri democrat introduced a bill monday to repeal the law. >> i think it's fairly clear some of them were trying to work with the drug companies.

>> but orrin hatch defended the law and his role in writing it. >> anyone who claims that i or anyone else steam rolled the dea on this bill seetheris either ignorant or woefully uninformed. >> california democrat said when she met with the acting head of thed the bill would not negatively impact their work. >> tom marino going to be the drug czar. he's going to do a great job. >> the bill's chief author is facing the most scrutiny. pennsylvania republican tom marino has since been tapped by president trump to lead the nation's drug control efforts. on monday west virginia democrat sent letter to president trump urging him to pull marino's nomination. >> there's nobody inos sincere or be effective. >> mr. trump said he's reviewing it's 1% negative to doing what we want to do i will make a change, yes. >> reporter: marino's nomination has been pending before the

senate judiciary committee since he was nominated in september. cbs news was told that the confirmation hearing has not been scheduled yet because marino has not returned a questionnaire issued to him by the committee. >> thank you very much. we wanted to find out just how much the farmphceuticalá-e congress. spent clo $2.4 billion over the past decade. gun rights lobbying last year totaled about $10.5 million. that is just about 4% of what the pharmaceutical industry spent. the president wants to show the world that he can work with senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. the two men met reporters in the rose garden yesterday. the president said he and mcconnell are quote, closer than ever before. he appeared after mr. trump's former chief strategist steve bannon declared a season of war against the establishment. major garrett was there asking all the questions. >> reporter: it was just a week

ago that a senior senate republican referred to this white house as an adult daycare center. that meant the president and mitch mcconnell needed a photo op and they needed it badly. steve bannon waiting in the wings with threats of retribution against mcconnell and other wayward republicans. >> he's a friend of mine and committed to getting things passed. >> reporter: that friend is stooefz bannon. >> it's a seasonal war against a gop establishment. >> the main target, mitch mcconnell. >> they've all left you. we've cut your oxygen off, >> reporter: for the president bannon is a threat before his cabinet. >> i know how he feels. depends on who you're talking about. there are some republicans frankly that should be ashamed of themselves. >> reporter: and then ignore less than two lourshours later. mcconnell scorned by the

president in august. >> i'm very disappointed in mitch. >> reporter: now a man of the hour. >> we have the same agenda. we've been friends and acquaintances for a long time. >> reporter: the commander in chief was also asked why he with held public comment on four u.s. soldiers killed in a u.s. ambush. the president said letters will soon be sent to the families. he then said this about his predecessor. >> if you look at president obama and other presidents most of them didn't make calls, a lot of them didn't make calls. >> reporter: officials for presidents obama, george w. bush and clinton told cbs all three made call to families of the fallen. the attorney general tweeted stop the damn lying. you're the president. white house press secretary said last night the prt, quote, wasn't criticizing predecessors but stating a fact. sanders said they've used

various methods and the point the president was trying to make is not every predecessor called every grieving military family. >> all right. thank you very much. senator john mccain is warning against american isolationism. the arizona republican made the remarks yesterday during his acceptance speech for the liberty award which honors a lifetime of service and sacrifice. former vice president joe biden presented the award in philadelphia. >> to fear the world we've organized and led the three quarters of a century to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, and our duty to remain the last best hope of earth, for the sake of some half baked spurious nationalism, cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems -- >> and that appeared aimed at president trump. mccain who is being treated for brain cancer spent 22 years in the navy and was a prisoner of

war in vietnam. the wine steveneinstein company's board of directors will discuss the possible sale amid the scandal surrounding harvey weinstein. a close confidant to president trump has emerged as a potential buyer. more than 50 women accuse weinstein of sexual harassment or assault. >> a big day for the company. harvey's brother bob weinstein spent with weekend condemning harvey and insisted he wasn't going to unload the company they belt together but the other two remaining board members have other ideas and are desperately seeking a way out. as the number of harvey weinstein's accusers grows the studio he founded is in financial free fall. >> the company as it is has become so toxic that they can't continue business. >> ben fritz of the wall street journal spoke to a weinstein

company official who estimates the company could no be worth $300 million. last year harvey weinstein estimated his company was worth at least $700 million. due to a power house library that includes the films lion the imitation game and the television hit "project runway." into colony capital, a firm offering a buyout that would save the company. >> it's probably declining in value every day. >> board members have refused to say what they knew about his decades of alleged abusive behavior. >> it was the easy option to turn a blind eye. >> reporter: behavior who dated his brother. >> weem were scared of him company possible sale comes with a twist. the man at the helm of colony

capital is tom bar rick. >> i have only amazing things to tell you about donald. >> a close ally of president trump. >> you can only imagine that he and some of his friends have a little glee that they are buying the studio run by this very prominent hillary clinton supporter. >> reporter: harvey weinstein continues to deny any allegations of nonconsensual sex. he has also had a previous business relation with bar rick. he was one of the investors who bought the weinstein's previous company mira max from disney. the question is what did the board know and when. >> all sorts of plot twists in this sad saga. the death toll is still rising from northern california's wildfires. 4 is people are confirmed dead. they range in age from 14 to 100. wildfires destroyed some 57 homes and businesses.

we're in santa rosa where a husband held his wife for hours in a pool trying to keep her alive. good morning. >> reporter: well good morning. serge and rescue crews are going through burnt out homes just like this. they are looking for victims and they are looking for hazardous material that might make it difficult for people to return home. we spoke with one woman who says her parents took refuge from the wildfires in a swimming pool for several hours. only one of them made it out alive. >> it was escape or die. >> reporter: monica and hr friends were in her friend's home when they smelled smoke. >> within a minute there were 30 foot flames on both sides of the house. >> reporter: it was after mid fight. her parents followed her in a convoy of cars. the fire made visibility so poor she couldn't see that her parents car got stuck behind her forcing the couple to flee on foot into a nearby pool.

>> it was a miracle my father survived it. i wish my mom had the stamina to make it a little bit longer. >> reporter: he suffered second degree burns holding on to his wife in a pool for at least five hours until her lungs gave out. >> she passed so peacefully in his arms and it was so pleasing that it wasn't anything but peace. >> reporter: more than 40 confirmed deaths from the 71-year-old daniel southard sent a text message to his son who lost his mother at the age of two just before the firesroy and donna had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. kai sh youngest of the victims. his family badly injured. >> maybe they ran out of the house. real good thorough sweeping before we allow the general public back in. >> there are still more than 100 people unaccounted for and as crews go through all of this rubble they are being extremely careful about when and where

carbon monoxide in their ford has been repairing the police cruisers at no cost but the issues are separate from the complaints in civilian models and are due to modifications of the vehicles after they were purchased like responding emergency lights. responding to the call for recall ford says the company is confident in our current methods for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues so instead of a recall ford will be sending letters to owners of 2011 to 2014 ford explorers to bring their cars into dealerships for possible repairs. the wifi network in your home may have some dangerous curt problems. ahead the newly discovered flaw that opens almost every wifi co

it is tuesday, october 17th. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead why a 60 minutes

investigation into the opioid crisis could lead president trump to reconsider his choice for federal drug czar. and former fox news anchor gretchen carlson who is on studio with a plan for people like her who have been sexually harassed on the job. >> and a dramatic turning point in the fight against isis. u.s. forces are celebrating the defeat of isis in raqqa. >> it is a terrible irony that in order to retake raqqa from isis they've had to destroy it. >> many say they had no idea that the bill they passed may have tied the dea's hands. >> the president and the senate majority mitch mcconnell needed a photo op and they needed it badly. it wasn't easy though. >> harvey's brother bob weinstein spent the weekend insisting he wasn't going to unload the company they built together but the other two

remaining board members have other ideas. >> search and rescue homes are going through burnt out homes just like this. they are looking for victims and hazardous material that might make it difficult for people to return home. >> henry, game over henry, oh henry. >> will he score or will he go down? he's going to score. take it to the house. >> final score 36-22. that's how you put a team away. loves to play. good morning to you. i'm gayle king with nora o'donnell. jeff glor is in. charlie is off today. >> good morning. >> president trump said he plans to declare the opioid epidemic a national emergency next week. and he said he may look again at his nomination of congressman tom marino to be his drug czar. >> some democrats in congress want a new nominee after an

investigation by 60 minutes and the washington post. he enforced a law in the drug crisis. 142 people killed per day, most of them opioid users. a repeal effort is ununderway. >> reporter: this bill didn't get enough scrutiny the first time around and they're wondering why the dea dropped its initial objections. marino had a lot of cosponsors. democrats and republicans for this law that whistle blowers now say makes it more difficult for the government to block suspicious shipments of opiates. missouri senator told us it's clear that some of the law's authors were trying too hard to help the drug industry while others may simply not have understood the implications and she's introducing a bill to overturn the law. already west virginia senator and new hampshire maggie has san has signed on as cosponsors.

their two states were hardest hit by drug overdose deaths in 2015 largely due to the opioid epidemic. yesterday manchin called it the biggest health crisis since hiv and aids. he also asked president trump to drop marino's nomination for drug czar. but hatch said the problems are being overblown and that in fact the dea helped to write some of the language in this bill. >> thank you very much. president trump faces criticism for saying his predecessors did not call families of soldiers killed in action. mr. trump was asked yesterday why he had not spoken about four americans killed in niger nearly two weeks ago. the president said he had written letters to the families and would call them soon. >> if you look at president obama and other presidents most of them didn't make calls, a lot of them didn't make calls.

president obama, i think probably did sometimes and maybe sometimes he didn't. i don't know. that's what i was told. >> spokesman for presidents obama, george w. bush and clinton told cbs news they all made calls to families of the fallen. >> and photos shows mr. obama saluting a soldier's casket in delaware. called him quote, a deranged animal. president bush's pokesman said he wrote all the families of the fallen and met with hundreds if not thousands. the current white house press secretary says quote, individuals claiming former presidents such as their bosses called each family of the fallen are mistaken. an unprecedented security effort ahead of next year's midterm elections. some have to fill out federal security applications.

that process can take up to ten hours. this comes after russian hackers scanned and probed voter databases in the 2016 election in at least 21 states. election officials tell us that even with the security clearance they may not be granted access to sensitive information about the 2016 attacks. the department of homeland security official leading an election group says statefficials have already taken a number of steps to improve the security and the federal government stands ready to help. former fox news anchor began a conversation about work place harassment when she sued her former boss roger ales. she's in the green room with her new book and why she believes the harvey weinstein scandal is a watershed moment.

of the most poierful men in television. what made you come forward? >> well, courage is a building process. it's not a light switch that you turn on overnight and i think that's really important especially with this issue because women are labeled drubl makers, the b word and nothing good. they're not believed when they come forward so it takes immense courage. it's an excruciating choice but i realized that my career, my american dream of 27 years of hard work was going to come to an end and it wasn't my choice and i decided that i had to speak up. if i didn't who was going to do it and i didn't want my children to face the same indignities that i had faced. >> you also say that many women -- any woman who has spoken up and it's not just tv news, you said it crosses all kinds of businesses where there is an issue, but you point out in your book that any woman who has spoken up is no longer in her chosen career. i thought that was very

interesting and surprising. >> isn't that shocking and horrifying horrifying? it's an equal opportunity epidemic. i started hearing from thousands of women and they were waitresses, they were bankers, teachers, flight attendants many of whom have thanked me over the last year because they have all faced this pervasive issue. this is a silent epidemic in our country. >> but the perpetrators are still in place. >> because we have chosen as a culture to silence the victims either with settlements where you're gagged from ever saying what happened to you or enforced arbitration which is a part of employment contracts now and here's the key, it's secret. so these are the ways in which we've chosen to resolve sexual harassment in our country and we need to understand that. >> explain that for those of us that don't know about these arbitrations. >> so contracts now a clause that means that you're giving up your 7th amendment right when you sign it to go to an open jury process. listen, when we start new jobs none of us expect to get into

disputes. i know i didn't but if you do it's going to be resolved through arbitration but here's the key. it's secret. you can never tell anyone what you're doing. no one will ever know about it. 20% of the time only the employee wins that much. >> you say silence is the most powerful weapon of the harasser. >> guess what happens then? the woman gets fired. she never goes back to her chosen career and the harasser is left in the work place to continue harassing. >> which is the case with your settlement. >> the case with my settlement is that i can continue to talk about this issue which i've been doing so much work on it for 15 months. i just can't dell you the nitty-gritty details but you can look at it online what my complaint is. >> when you spoke out some of your colleagues publicly doubted your stories and they defended roger ales at the time. this guy is doing 8 million things a day. you relally think he's chasing her around? i know you can't speak about

specifics but were you prepared for the reaction from even women that you worked with? >> yes. >> you were? >> yes. because look at how we react when women have the courage to come forward. we need to change this and we are. look at what's happening with the harvey weinstein story. >> you call that a tipping point. you call that a watershed moment. why? >> because women are putting their names and their faces to this issue. it's not just anonymity anymore. i really believe it's horrifying as those revelations were that i'm optimistic that the hard work i've been doing for the last 15 months is paying off and the gift of courage is contagious contagious. it passes along one woman at a time and look where we are. the #metoo trending for the last two days and now men are putting out their own hash tags to say, they want to be on board. and we need men to help us. >> that -- that is very important that they're part of this conversation. there's a great article in the

hollywood reporter by crista vernoff. she said this entire culture is come police sit. we make this all about harvey we've already lost and i've heard many people say we're focusing on that but please look at the bigger picture of what is happening in all industries. do you agree with that? >> i agree with that because the thousands of women who reached out to me those stories were never told and i became a voice for them in being able to publicly tell my story. i hope all those women will find the courage to also tell their stories and that we will tell them for them to eradicate this problem. >> what are the places in the work place to tell your stories, human resources. but in the book you say they're like the kgb. >> my lawyer actually called them that and i want to reach out to all the human resource people who do want to help. but i advocate in the book that there are maybe better ways to solve this issue.

hire an independent person who's not getting their paycheck from possibly the harasser and also we need to encourage more bystander straining.training. >> do you think for the 30 years going on with the allegations of harvey weinstein and other stories, people knew about it. there were enablers and the company covered it up. we need to encourage bystanders to also come forward. >> i've heard people say we knew he might have been a brute or a bully when it came about his movies. we might have known he was a philanderer but we didn't know that. i've heard many people say we didn't know it was that extreme. >> i'm sure that other people knew that. i'm sure that they did because this is the way in which it works and this is how we cover it up. >> you watched when the billy bush cape tamepe came out during the campaign. you watched this with your kids.

>> the first time i didn't watch it with my kids. i felt it was imperative that i showed my 12 and 14-year-old kids that this is not how you treat human beings and i think it was a teaching moment for millions of parents across america. at least i hope it was that they could show their children that this is not how you respect women because look, its starts with our kids young. this is why i have an entire chapter on how i believe we should parent our kids in an equal fashion because it's really more about our sons. how are we raising them? to respect women when they eventually get into the work place and that video tape, i don't care what your politics are, sexual harassment is apolitical and everyone should care about it. they don't say are you a republican or a democrat? they just do it. and this is why we should all care about it and human decency supersedes any policy in my mind. >> you went through a rough time. was it all worth it when you

look back at it? you didn't hear from people you expected to hear from. you felt alone many times. as you sit here today, was it all worth it iffer you to go through this sf. >> it was, gayle, because if there's one constant thing about me, i always take on a challenge head on and i never give up. and i know that i have been a voice for so many women who never had one. and now i'm seeing that something good is coming of this. and i really hope that i can change laws on capitol hill as well and get rid of the secrecy so that we take this issue out of the shadows and help so many others. >> gretchen carlson, thank you. >> thanks for having me.- >> really good to see you. >> thank you. proceeds from be fierce will go to the gift of courage fund. the book is on sale today wherever you like to buy your books. nasa witnesses a collision of stars in deep space for the very first time. how the spectacular explosion could teach us about the origins of our most precious metals and

hole in the ground what story does that tell us about lead? >> well this is what -- what you can see from the mining activity for 130 years. there's 300 miles of underground workings down there. >> reporter: the home state gold mine was the largest and deepest gold mine in north america producing more than 40 million ounces of gold. at its peak it employed 2,200 people and supported a vibrant community with virtually no unemployment. >> the guys put a little heater on their deck. >> the city commissioner was a geologist. >> lead was the economic engine of south dakota. these are the highest paid salaries in south dakota. we drove all of the economy in the local area. gold was booming 44 years ago. when cbs last visited the mine

in lead. but after years of increasing production costs and declining prices, the mine shut down in the early 2,000s. hundreds of people lost their jobs.scott. >> so when you heard home stake was closing, how did you process that? >> it's pretty that. i mean it was -- it was try to find another job, you know, but there isn't a lot of jobs for miners in thisarea. >> another mining a shutdown mine. lead could have taken a dive. but it avoided that fate by taking a dive. nearly a mile beneath the surface. after suiting up in protective clothes, boots and hard hats we crowded into an elevator like cage. and descended 4,850 feet below the surface. along for the ride david and

luke scott who both got new jobs at the old mine. >> in this country, when the good jobs go away in a place like a mine they usually don't come back. >> yep, it's very lucky. i'm just fortunate that i get to come back here and do what i like to do. i like to be underground. >> reporter: taking place in the deepest clean room in the again, we changed. this time into special sterile suits. to see where a mining for the secrets of the universe. >> it's not enough to just glove up. if you're going to work in here you've got to actually then go through these rubber arms? >> yes, and then put another pair of gloves on. >> gloves on top of the gloves? >> yes gloves on top of the gloves.

physics project will be built half a mile from the first lab. in another part of the old home stakes mine. >> the next phase of this cutting edge research will actually unf other side. >> correct. >> just about 200 feet away. >> reporter: and another influx of scientists and visitors will be expected in lead which is still trying to fill empty store fronts and revive its economy. >> we hope that this starts to become a business district again around science. home stake was here for a long time. they provided jobs security the lab is going to be here for a long time. there already jobs there already security. what those jobs are, i don't know. >> but there's still some gold in these hills. >> yes. >> reporter: now scientists just knew home stake would be perfect for this kind of

research because half a century ago, a chemist named ray davis convinced the mine owners to let him build a small lab underground and the work he did there later won him a nobel prize. >> fascinating stuff. >> glad to be back up here though. >> you didn't feel claustrophobic down there? >> a little bit but i knew i was coming back up. >> da vinci was considered a misfit to say the least. a new book is based on 7,000 pages of notes that he wrote and the book's author walter isaacson is in our green room with what the notes reveal and what he says

230 measurements to get it right but he also does something of unnecessary beauty as he's standing there naked in the earth and in the universe figuring how do we fit in. >> how is this genius different from other geniuses though? >> some people like mozart say great genius but in a particular field. what's interesting is when you can cross fields. he thoughts of himself as an engineer, a scientist, somebody who loved geology. his notebooks are filled with all of his love of math and science and nature but also art. and so i think real creativity comes when you can see the cross currents of nature as opposed to getting all siloed. >> testifies an expert in so many things and yet he had no formal education. >> i think it was lucky he was lucky to be out of wedlock which meant he couldn't go to the university so he became a self-taught person. he became a disciple of experiments and experience. this is the beginning of the

>> where does that driver come from? it was just innate for him? >> i don't think so. i think there's certain innate geniuses. einstein is one of them but i think with leonardo da vinci, he pushes himself to be more curious. as nora said you read those lists of things he wants to learn and that's why he's a more accessible genius than some of the others i've written about because we can do that too. like he would just say why is the sky blue? it would be in his notebook. >> you've compared him to steve jobs. we've been saying all morning you're going to tell us why the two -- >> well when steve jobs integrates his products at the end he would show the intersection of two streets, liberal arts and technology. if you can stand at the intersection of the humanities and science, of arts and engineering that's where creativity occurs. that's what da vinci is all about. >> ten years of research.
