7:06 am
the race, doug jones, over roy moore. norah? >> all right, manuel, thank you so much. donald trump jr. confirms he had direct communication with wikileaks during and after the last presidential campaign. the organization apparently contacted him first. last night the president's oldest son released pages of private messages from september and october of 2016. now, during that period wikileaks published e-mails and documents stolen from hillary clinton's campaign chairman. jeff pegues is in washington with what we've learned from trump jr.'s messages. good morning. >> good morning. donald trump jr. doesn't believe this new information proves anything and his lawyer essentially said there's nothing to worry about. but congressional investigators tell us that they see these revelations as more potential evidence of possible coordination between the trump campaign and russian operatives. >> this has been an election for change. >> the president's son, donald trump jr., was in direct communication with wikileaks from september 2016 until july
7:07 am
of this year. it appears wikileaks initiated contact. trump jr. released screen shots monday of what he claims are all of the twitter private messages between him and the controversial website. candidate trump frequently praised wikileaks during the campaign. >> wikileaks, i love wikileaks. >> wikileaks is amazing. the stuff that's coming out. >> the day after those comments on october 12th, wikileaks sent donald trump jr. a link to the hacked democratic e-mails with this message, strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if he mentions us. less than an hour later, candidate trump tweeted very little pickup of incredible information provided by wikileaks. on october 14th donald trump jr. sent out the link himself saying all the wikileaks e-mails are right here. that same day, then vice presidential nominee, mike pence, was asked about trump campaign contact with wikileaks on fox news. >> some have suggested on the left that all this bad stuff about hillary, nothing bad about
7:08 am
trump, that your campaign is in cahoots with wikileaks. >> nothing could be further from the truth. >> u.s. intelligence officials determined that wikileaks was being used by the russians to disseminate material that was stolen from democrats. there are three open investigations into russian campaign meddling on capitol hill. congressman eric swalwell. >> he's demonstrated that he and other campaign members were doing whatever it takes to work with the russians to get dirt on their opponent, hillary clinton. >> vice president pence said through a spokesperson last night that he was never aware of anyone associated with the campaign being in contact with wikileaks. donald trump jr.'s attorney accused congressional investigators of leaking the messages and added we have no concerns about these documents. gayle. >> all right, thank you, jeff. attorney general jeff sessions is expected to face tough questions on russia this morning. during an appearance before the house judiciary committee.
7:09 am
sessions will likely be asked about recently released court documents and testimony. they show that he was told about meetings between trump campaign aides and russian interests. now that information contradicts his previous testimony. paula reid is on capitol hill with the latest on this story. hey, paula. so what are senators going to focus on today, do you think? >> reporter: well, jeff sessions worked here for years, but now capitol hill has really become a land mine for him, as new court documents contradict his previous testimony before congress. sessions has repeatedly testified that he had no knowledge of any contacts between the trump campaign and russia. but former trump campaign aides carter page and george papadopoulos have revealed that they both told sessions about their contacts with russia. papadopoulos told the fbi that during the campaign, he suggested a meeting between then k candidate trump and vladimir putin in front of trump and sessions and sessions shut down that. jeff sessions had to recuse himself from the russia investigation for failing to disclose his own contacts with
7:10 am
the russian ambassador. >> i imagine there will be fireworks. paula, what about the attorney general now asking his prosecutors to open up a new russia probe? >> reporter: that's right. the justice department is considering a possible special prosecutor to look into the clinton foundation and uranium one. that is a deal that was approved by the obama administration when a russian company purchased a canadian mining company with some uranium interests here in the u.s. now, former justice department officials tell me they believe that that is also part of a long-term strategy to discredit robert mueller, who was the head of the fbi at the time. the president has also called for an inquiry into uranium one. of course this new revelation will also give republicans a more friendly line of russia questioning for the attorney general today. >> paula, thank you so much. president trump is flying home from asia this morning after a 12-day trip. he plans to meet with house republicans on thursday ahead of a high-stakes vote on tax reform. the president tweeted from manila last night. quote, excited to be heading
7:11 am
home to see the house pass a great tax bill with the middle class getting big tax cuts. the senate's proposal would actually increase taxes for 13.8 million households. just yesterday the president said he wants republicans to lower the tax bracket for the wealthiest americans to 35%. he also wants to repeal obamacare's individual mandate. that is not currently part of any tax bill. a secret deal reportedly allowed some of the most notorious isis fighters to escape from a city with their weapons. 250 fighters were permitted to leave raqqah. they got out with 3500 family members to isis-controlled territory. their convoy included nearly 50 rented trucks, 13 buses and more than 100 isis vehicles. ten trucks were loaded with weapons. the bbc says the u.s. and british-led coalition knew about the deal brokered by syrian
7:12 am
democratic forces and they actually monitored the exodus. here is an excerpt of quentin somerville's report. >> reporter: the world was told only a few fighters were being let go, no foreigners and no weapons, but the trucks were crammed full of fighters, some wearing suicide belts. all were heavily armed. after days of searching, we picked up the trail at a truck stop on the outskirts of tabqa. here we discovered the drivers, all civilians, who drove i.s. to freedom. they had been hired by the kurdish syrian forces. it was the longest journey of their lives. their trucks were rigged with i.s. bombs in case the deal collapsed. they had been told they were picking up only a few hundred civilians, that it would be a quick job. they ended up driving day and night for three days.
7:13 am
this couldn't look like the islamic state's escape to victory, so the svf insisted there would be no flags and no banners. instead, i.s. fighters sat boldly on top of the trucks. it was loaded with weaponry. >> the united states was not part of this deal but the u.s. was not prepared to bomb buses full of women and children. this morning the families of victims in the sandy hook school shooting will take their fight against gun makers to the connecticut supreme court. they want to reinstate a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the military-style weapon that was used in the 2012 attack. the families claim the company markets its weapons to young people who could be prone to violence. don dahler is in hartford outside the connecticut supreme courthouse where today's hearing will take place. don, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. last year a judge dismissed the lawsuit by some family members
7:14 am
of sandy hook victims citing a federal law that shields gun makers from liability in gun shooting deaths. now lawyers are appealing that decision, saying that remington knowingly marketed the ar-15 style rifle to a high-risk group of young men, including the shooter, adam lanza. nearly five years after his 6-year-old son, dylan, was killed by adam lanza with an ar-15 style rifle, nicole hockley wants the gun manufacturer held accountable. >> this is a weapon that has been designed to inflict mass casualty and you're not a man if you don't have it. that's morally reprehensible. from a marketing perspective, that's wrong and needs to stop. >> reporter: in a brief submitted to the connecticut supreme court, attorneys representing ten sandy hook families contend that in order to boost sales, gun manufacturer remington targeted a younger demographic by linking the ar-15 to macho vigilanteism and military style insurrection.
7:15 am
there are phrases like perform under pressure, bow down and consider your man card reissued. >> remington increases the risk of pulling in these dangerous users. >> reporter: josh koskoff represents the ten families. >> not all of them are going to use them like adam lanza but they'll be at increased risk. >> reporter: more than 1500 mass shootings have taken place since sandy hook. legal analysts say appealing the dismissed lawsuit rests on proving the manufacturer's negligence allowed the weapon to fall into the wrong hands. >> what the appellate judges are supposed to do is judge this case according to the law. so although these horrific, more -- shootings are out there, the judges should disregard them. >> reporter: if the families are
7:16 am
success, it opens the door to the discovery phase in which they might have access to internal documents and e-mails that could reveal remington's marketing strategies. gayle. >> still one of the worst heart-breaking stories ever reported. the first new blood pressure guidelines will likely bring a major change in treatment. 11 big medical groups, including the american heart association, are now redefining the danger zone. for the top blood pressure known as systolic, the bar is lowered from 140 points to 130. >> the new guidelines mean an estimated 31 million more people could be diagnosed with high blood pressure. that would bring the total to nearly half of american adults. dr. tara narula is a cardiologist. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> so why did they change and, secondly, what are the implications? >> this is a silent dead low health crisis that we've really been undertreating. what we now have is over 900 research studies that tell us that what we thought was previously prehypertension or
7:17 am
high normal, which sounds okay, is really not okay. that risk starts to go up over a systolic pressure of 120. by the time you're at 130, your risk of cardiovascular event has doubled. this is really about lowering the bar, raising awareness and early intervention. what have we done? we've lowered the cut off from 140/90 to 130/80. stage one hypertension begins at that point. normal is still 120/80. elevated is when your top number is over 120, stage 1 between 130 to 140. within that stage 1 group we are using risks to say who should get medication and just lifestyle recommendation alone. if you're elevated risk you'll get lifestyle recommendations and medication. if you're lower risk, lifestyle recommendations. >> that's a lot of numbers to pay attention to but everybody keeps calling it the silent
7:18 am
killer. >> right. >> what exactly does it do to your body? >> what it is doing is increasing the pressure in the blood vessels that supply blood to all the organs of the body. so you're slowly and silently damaging these organs over time and it can lead to heart attack, stroke, heart failure, peripheral arterial failure like aneurysms and it really can be an insidious process. they're saying with these guidelines it's really going to affect a lot of individuals under the age of 45. it will triple the number of men under 45 now diagnosed with hypertension and double the number of women, which is a good thing because we want people to pick this up early. >> so what are ways to reduce our blood pressure? >> i mentioned lifestyle. this is the cornerstone of all treatment, even for those with medication. that means exercise, a heart healthy diet, a diet low in salt, high in potassium, alcohol consumption, no more than two drinks a way for men, one drink
7:19 am
a day for women. stress management, weight reduction. all these things can lower your blood pressure by four to five points systolically. and there's medication. 50% of americans are not going to be meeting the cutoff and they will need to intensify their regimen with higher doses or more drugs but it's only estimated that 4 million americans will need medication. american warships sent a message to north korea with drills near the korean peninsula. ben tracy reports from aboard

7:37 am
uss reagan, we saw f-18 fighter jets, one after another, being launched over the waters just off the korean peninsula. if needed, these jets could strike military installations in north korea in just minutes. if there was a conflict with north korea, they could launch a fighter jet off this carrier, one every 20 seconds. of course they then have to get all those fighter jets back onboard. this is how they do it. but what the u.s. military really wants the world to see is this. three u.s. aircraft carrier strike groups, the reagan, the theodore roosevelt and the uss nimitz, sailing alongside each other. together they support about 200 aircraft and their combined combat power simulates what could be brought to bear in a war with north korea. >> why do you think these exercises are important? >> we can't be ready without that, and to stop those kind of

the national transportation safety board blasted another federal regulator for not doing enough to get unsafe bus an truck drivers off the road. this follows an investigation into a 2016 bus crash in california. four people died in this accident and 20 others were hurt. investigators found that the driver was severely sleep deprived. they also concluded that the federal motor carrier safety administration could have acted on safety issues which may have prevented this crash. kris van cleave is in arlington, virginia, with more on this story. kris, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. fmcsa is essentially an agency without a lot of leadership right now. it hasn't had a full-time administrator since january. the acting administrator retired earlier this month and the appointee to take over the agency still hasn't been confirmed by congress. the ntsb is basically saying

someone over there needs to get to work. the deadly accident was horrifying. a signpost tore through much of the bus's passenger cabin just after 3:00 a.m. >> there was every type of injury you could think. >> reporter: the ntsb found the bus company had demonstrated its repeated lack of compliance but was allowed to keep operating. shortly before the crash it passed an inspection by the federal motor carrier safety administration, or fmcsa, despite a virtual laundry list of issues. they also found drivers worked too many hours and falsified reports. it listed the lack of oversight as a contributing factor in the crash. >> are there unsafe drivers on the road today and are signs being missed? i think so. >> reporter: ntsb chair robert sumwalt. >> was there enough evidence with their existing rules to have taken action to prevent this crash? >> well, we think so. we think that they should have
7:45 am
done a better job with knowing what was going on with this particular carrier. >> reporter: the investigation raised questions about the fmcsa's oversight. we found a voluntary reporting system with drivers failing to report dangerous medical conditions. the agency declined to talk on camera but in a statement said it will review the findings, adding safety will always be its highest priority. the agency did eventually shut down the bus operator more than two months after the deadly crash. >> i think they need better regulations to enforce what they're doing, and they need to do a better job of doing what their regulations call for. >> reporter: a d.o.t. official was quick to point out that this accident occurred during the previous administration. the ntsb notes earlier this year fmcsa abandoned new regulations on a safety rating system and sleep apnea. >> thank you so much.

fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. we're partnering with digital media company refinery 29 for our new series, "my generation." this morning we're looking at the lives of millenials. refinery 29 has a popular feature called money diary. readers reveal personal details about their salaries and what they spend each week. we compiled our own money diaries. several millenials share the impact from student debt to the all-important side hustle.
8:12 am
>> it kind of annoys me when people say millenials are lazy because i'm a millenial and i'm obviously not lazy. i care about making money. i'm pretty shameless about it. i just bought my first house. every job i've had, every dollar i've spent i think in some way has related to this. i'm super happy, but it was hard. >> aside from the credit card debt, my husband and i also have a significant amount of student loan debt. i believe our starting balances together were about $225,000 and now we're at about $160,000. there's a lot that you could do with $2,000 every month of the year if it wasn't being spent on debt. >> saw friends and family coming out of college with significant student loans and thought to mice, gosh, that's something i don't want to get involved in. i did basically two years of college. what do i want to do with my life and do i need a degree to do that, and the answer was no. >> i think that we live in a
8:13 am
generation in which we're always going to have side hustles. a side hustle is having another source of income to be able to sustain the lifestyle that you want to live. you'll use your main hustle in order to finance your side hustle, so your side hustle can become your main hustle. >> a big priority of mine has been saving, but with the money that i don't save, i would definitely say i travel a lot of the i like buying vintage clothes, going out to eat with my friends. >> we spend a lot of money on experiences. my parents laugh at when we see and hear what we're doing, but i just chalk it up to my experience bucket as being filled. >> we like to be able to enjoy life, but we also are quite intelligent as far as like how we spend our money. >> we are all trying to find a balance between spending responsibly on necessities and things that we need and spending on things that enrich our lives
8:14 am
and make us happier. >> joining us now is cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger, also lindsey stanberry. great to have both of you. >> good morning. >> so what do other generations think of the millenial generation? >> i think we get a terrible rap, it's awful. it's really unfair. we're coming up -- we graduated into a recession. we have crazy student loan debt so we're also the most educated generation. more of us live at home but i think that's because we're saving money. >> but what's the rap that you have? >> theephave? that we overspend, that we're not responsible, we're not investing, we're not hitting those mile stones that our parents did as fast as our parents did. >> do millenials have faith in basic financial institutions? >> you know, a lot of times we hear this thing like, oh, they don't love anyone, they don't trust anyone, but i was fascinated. the edelman trust barometer came
8:15 am
out and when they drilled down, there was something really interesting in it. we found millenials actually trust banks and payments and financial services more than the general population. i think there's a rationale behind it. they like it when it's fueled by technology, so they trust that if i use my square app, it's going to work. if i use a financial service that's an online investment advisor, that works. maybe not a person, maybe not a company, but they do trust the technology. >> lindsey, what do they pri prioritize when it comes to spending? >> i think they're really actively trying to pay down that debt. it's something that hangs over their heads and stresses them out. i think we see them prioritizing experiences, food. >> they trike to travel and not just martha's vineyard -- >> they like to go overseas. they like to quit their jobs and travel, which is amazing. a lot of them are saving money so they can do that. >> how are companies capitalizing on this? >> i think this is fascinating. when i talk to all the ceos at
8:16 am
financial service companies and banks, this is their absolute passion. how are we getting this huge generation to become part of our organization. and what we know is they have got to have a value system, because millenials do say that part of the reason they choose to do business with certain companies is based on the values of that company. and so it's not only providing a service, it's not just about price, it's who are you? do you stand for something that i care about? and this is transforming almost every area, not just travel, not just restaurants, but also financial services. >> you talk about technology. there's also a lot of transparency, lindsey. >> there is. >> a younger generation will share with one another how much they make. >> i think that they're really open. we're see that with money diaries. they really want to share. we grew up not talking about money, right? >> it was impolite. >> it was impolite, it was not lady-like. but then if you're not talking about it, how are you supposed to know what salary to ask for
8:17 am
or how to invest in your 401(k). >> difference between men and women? >> there's a big difference between men and women. i think that there's still a lot of stigmas around women making a lot of money, making more than their partners. i think financial institutions really talk to women differently. not always in the best way. i think that we are really -- the reason money diaries is so popular is that it's peer to peer and takes away a lot of stigmas around money and makes it less taboo. >> i don't understand how millenials on venmo share how much they pay. thank you both so much. tomorrow in our series "my generation" we'll explore the 67% project that shows more than two-thirds of women are a size 14 or up but are rarely represented in the media. we'll explore how millenials are changing the way we view those women. and today on "cbs this morning" podcast, we speak with malcolm paris. he's the millenial author of "kids these days, human capital and the making of millenials."
8:18 am
he explains despite financial struggles, millenials are the hardest working, most educated generation in u.s. history, as lindsey told us. it is true, they are super smart. you can find it on itunes and apple's podcast app. >> lindsey said yes, we are. back in 1990, "60 minutes" captured tina brown talking about a future cover photo. >> it was an act of bad taste in every magazine and is very important on a regular basis. i think you have to occasionally do things that other people would say, my god, why did they do that? and if you don't, you're not alive. you're boring. >> my god, look at tina's earrings. no one can ever call her boring. she's in our toyota green room with a look at her new memoir. how she says the controversial cover of pregnant demi moore is still influential today. hello, tina brown. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back with tina.

i was union jackie actually. and when i got off that dancing, i thought to myself, i think it's time i made the assignments. i want to be the one to tell people what to do. no more of this. i want to be an editor. >> so when you saw the table, you thought i want to hop up there. but you weren't 30 yet. you take over "vanity fair" just as you're turning 30. >> it seems young now, but i was this kind of -- i blazed ahead. i had had four and a half years of editing in london and been very successful so that was my sort of learning curve. when i came to "vanity fair" i really had a strong vision of what i wanted to see. >> and what was that? >> it was a sophisticated mix. i felt that american magazines were not combining literature with celebrity with arts with business. i saw it as this gleaming package that was on the front edge of culture and it was all about how that would all mix together. so it was always about the search for the mix. the movie star piece, the crime
8:37 am
piece. >> you were famous for the covers too. >> yes. >> what did they do for you an what was the one that launched it? >> the covers were absolutely critical. the first cover immediately made a statement, the one you showed, because it actually followed the first, you know, failed editions, which were very sort of pretentious and sort of artie illustrations. i wanted to immediately say this is glamorous, this is edgy, which of course the wonderful picture. >> the reagans. >> that was a critical cover for us. we got access to shoot them at the white house. we went to do that and i took with me harry benson, the great photographer. he was such a brilliant mischievous mind. he brought with him a boom box and in the boom box was a tape of frank sinatra. as the reagans walked in, he puts on the boom box and nancy says let's dance, darling. >> i like how she kicked up her
8:38 am
foot. if she didn't like them -- >> when they kissed, i knew i had the spread of a lifetime. went back to the office, was busy laying it out. suddenly got the call, mrs. reagan needs to approve the pictures. first i just hid. the chairman said you have to show nancy reagan the pictures, send them. i thought i'm not sending them. i hopped onto the plane, took the shuttle down there, sat there three hours and finally persuaded them to run. >> this is a story about >> cy newhouse was the very shy roman emperor whose company it was. he was the only really person that mattered but was also very reluctant power chief in a sense which is what made him very beguiling. he really knew what he wanted and he appreciated editors that appreciated magazines. alexander look ieberman was a v
8:39 am
very cultured, a great artist himself, knew everybody from picasso to diana my dear, he had this little mustache, a douglas fairbanks mustache, and the two of them have this dynamic way you have to negotiate the politics between them. >> they had never seen anybody like you. >> what's the challenge of the new editor? >> i think it's a completely different company now. it was a much more personal company then because cy newhouse was so personally involved. it's more of a corporation now. but they have anna winter, who's a fabulous editorial director and they are the guiding spirits now. i think she's a terrific choice. she's young, she has intellectual rigor an i think she'll bring a new broom to the whole situation. >> a new broom. tina brown, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> and "the vanity fair diary"

the world's largest restaurant chain is getting a makeover. subway grew from one connecticut store front to nearly 45,000 locations in more than 100 countries. that's bigger than mcdonald's. but the company shrank for the first time in 2016 and now it hopes a new look will help jump start the 50-year-old brand. in a story you'll see only on "cbs this morning," we went behind the counter with the subway ceo and lifelong employee, suzanne greco. she talked in her first tv interview about taking over the company started by her big brother and the struggles with staying competitive in the fast food industry. today the subway experience is familiar around the world. but when 17-year-old fred deluca opened pete's super submarines in 1965, it was a family affair. >> we came from a very modest family. and the idea to open that first sandwich shop was really for fred, my brother, to generate money to pay for his college
8:45 am
because we didn't have any money. >> you were in a subway store at age 7, right? >> i was so intrigued with this idea that we own a business. this was like a big deal to me and i just wanted to be a part of it. >> in 1974 deluca began recruiting outside owners to buy subway franchises. by 1990 there were 5,000. but the subway family received devastating news in 2013. deluca had leukemia and he named his little sister, suzanne greco, as his successor. >> those who worked for their family will attest to the fact that they're hardest on you. never did he want people to think that he handed something to me or that i didn't earn it. you know, when we got toward the end of this, he said you're ready. i want you to carry on the legacy. >> i was stunned to learn that subway has almost 45,000 and mcdonald's only has like 35,000.
8:46 am
you're bigger than mcdonald's. >> yes, we are the largest restaurant chain out there. but it really comes down to one sandwich. that one sandwich, that one customer. and serving 7.5 million sandwiches a day. >> how many sandwiches a day? >> 7.5 million sandwiches are served in a subway daily. >> hi, i'm jared, the subway go. >> reporter: greco took control in the midst of a public relations crisis. national spokesman jared fogle was arrested on child pornography charges. the following year rivals grew, while subway sales declined. for the first time the company closed more locations in the u.s. than it opened. >> what do you think caused that decline in sales? >> well, there's a lot of disruption. so we were the ones that started with this fresh revolution. that's how we started and that's who we're going to be. that's who we are. but many brands are starting to do that. that is what customers want. >> so where was subway failing to innovate?
8:47 am
>> consumers' ideas about food and their ideas about restaurants and service have evolved. and being the size that we are, it's not as simple to make a change, but we are making rapid changes. >> those changes include renovated store fronts, highlighting subway's use of fresh produce, kiosks where customers can place orders and a mobile app where loyalty is rewarded. >> do you feel like you have to restwengt it? >> fresh, delicious customized food is still relevant today, but we do have to evolve because fresh has a different meaning than it had 20 years ago. >> greco pointed to subway's partnership with farms across the country that allow it to move produce from field to sandwich in a matter of days.
8:48 am
>> this is where all the magic really happens. >> still, she says the key to subway's success resides behind the counter. >> this may be the first time a ceo has ever made me a sandwich. >> i love it. i love making sandwiches. it taught me so much. >> facing a rapidly changing industry, greco believes fulfilling her brother's goal of 100,000 locations remains within reach. >> the idea of being able to provide this fresh, nutritious, customized sandwich at an affordable price, i feel that, yes, every community should have that available to them. >> thank you. >> we were taking a look at sort of the top ten restaurant chains in america. you're the only one who has a female as the ceo. does that give you a certain amount of pride? >> oh, i'm extremely proud to be leading this brand. it's really, really exciting for me. i don't think that there's anybody out there that knows
8:49 am
more about this brand or loves this brand more than i do. >> and they're expanding overseas. they're going to redesign all these stores and remodel them. but interesting, it's a great american story. a great american story. >> she had a big smile when you said you were the only woman, i like that. and they make their own bread. they get me when they say fresh banged bread made here. >> i asked her what's the secret ingredient. that smell. >> and her graduate school was working with him knowing that she was going to take over. >> yeah. and charlie likes subway, i just learned. >> everybody likes subway. you're watching cbs. congratulations to you, suzanne greco, you go. fall in the bad ass category. you're watching "cbs this
