special counsel robert mueller. and it's grammy weekend. we'll go behind the scenes of the weekend's hottest party with a toast music mogul clive davis. but we begin this morning with today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> i think it was a very, very successful trip, thank you. >> the president returns home to a mueller firestorm. >> fake news, folks. fake news. >> this president not happy at all with this investigation, and it's getting closer and closer. >> clearly trump seems to think his worst enemy is bob mueller. >> trump's worst enemy is donald trump. >> another deadly blast strikes kabul. >> the taliban claimed responsibility. >> if you didn't get a flu shot, get one now. 39 states are reporting serious outbreaks. that's up from 32 just last week. >> parisians are bracing for high water. >> this is

measure. >> a close call for officers. >> you can run but cannot hield. they help while night vision cameras roll. >> the dog has contact with one. >> the giant panda tries to give the cub a bear hug. look at that. the bear tries to escape. >> all that -- >> for the first time since 2015 tiger woods makes the cut on the pga tour. >> there it is. tiger's got it. he's still got it. >> that was ridiculous. >> absolutely brilliant. >> -- and all that matters -- >> middle one, they feed to top. they score. minnesota wins it with a great play to win in overtime for the gophers. >> -- on "cbs this morning: saturday." >> according to "the new york times" and other liberal media outlets, president trump demanded robert mueller be

fired. >> listen to trump's excuse. robert mueller used to be a member at one of trump's golf courses and he quid and trum never gave him his money back. so it's not over putin. it's over putting. and welcome to the weekend, everyone. i'm anthony mason. >> and i'm alex wagner. we begin with breaking news of a major suicide attack inside afghanistan. at least 40 people have been killed after a bomber detonated an ambulance packed with explosives in kabul, the capital. at least 140 people were injured, but that number is expected to rise. the bombing happening on a crowded street near a security checkpoint. the taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack. this morning's blast comes one week after a taliban attack on a hotel in the city that killed 22 people. turning now to the multiple investigations into the conduct of billionaire casino boss steve wynn, man whose influence

reaches from the gambling palaces of las vegas to the halls of power in washington, d.c. "the wall street journal" published a story friday detailing allegations of sexual coercion and inappropriate behavior caved out by wynn at his casinosle the allegations date back decades. >> wynn says it's all part of a smear campaign directed against him by his ex-wife. "forbes" estimated his net worth to be estimated at $3.5 billion. he founded iconic vegas casinos such as the mirage, the bellagio, and one that bears his name. and making these allegations are the more explosive, wynn is the finance chair of the republican national committee. tony dokoupil joins us with more. tony, good morning. >> he's the owner of a publicly

held. despite his denials, the board of directors of wynn's company is opening an investigation to look into the claims reported bety "wall street journal." "the wall street journal" details a person of behavior in which steve win pressured female employees to engage in sexual behavior with him. the article details one instance in which a manicurist at the wynn hotel had sex with wynn after he made repeated demands of her. he then allegedly settled with the woman for $7.5 million. the report is based on accounts of dozens of people who have worked at wynn's resorts. after the article's publications he released a statement. writing the idea that i ever assaulted any woman is prepostero preposterous. we find ourselves in a world where people can make allegations, regardless of truth and a person is left with the choice of weathering insulting publicity or engaging in multi-year lawsuits. but the reaction from the

allegations has been swift. shares of wynn resorts plunged 10% on the news. the massachusetts gaming commission is launching a review of win resort's state gaming license. the company is in the midst of building a $2.5 billion casino and hotel in a boston suburb. the fallout is also impacting the political world. he took over as the republican national committee's finance chair at the request of then president-elect donald trump. >> the two men have been rival since the '80s when they ran competing casinos in atlantic city. they have put rivalry aside. >> that was a long time ago. both of us are too old to have any enemies. >> reporter: wynn has donated more than $2 million to gop

candidates and organizations since 2013. the rnc has not commented on whether wynn will remain in his post and that puts democrats on the attack. a democratic national committee statement used the words of very nr krr chair woman ronna mcdaniel, if you stand for treating women well and you stand for the respektd of women, you shouldn't take money from somebody who treated women with the absolute highest level of disrespect. >> mcdaniel said those words about harvey weinstein as he was accuse of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. it personally cost him more than $2 million on friday. >> we hear today is steve wynn's birthday. a lot going on in the ynyy household. meantime "the new york times" reports a seen yore adviser to hillary clinton's 2008 presidential campaign who was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young

subordinate who was kept on the campaign at clinton's request. she did not fire burns strider who was her faith outreach adviser. he was docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling. the woman who accused strider has moved to a new job. last night hillary clinton tweeted that she was dismayed about the incident. she said she was proud of the woman for coming forward. she did not explain why strider was kept on the campaign. "the new york times" reported the president backed off his desire to fire mueller but only after white house lawyer don mcgahn threatened to quit. errol barnett is at the white house with the latest. errol, good morning. >> good morning. what's note worthy here is the white house is not denying reports that president trump wanted to dismiss special counsel robert mueller last summer. instead the president's lawyer is touting the administration's cooperation with the investigation, noting that 20

white house staffers have submitted to voluntary interviews. president trump returned from switzerland to the white house friday even, huddled with his communications staff on marine one. he then stopped only to address questions from reporters about his davos trip. >> i think it was a very, very successful trip. >> reporter: neither the white house nor white house counsel don mcgahn has issued a denial of the report that mr. trump wanted special counsel robert mueller fired. cbs news has confirmed last june president trump was angry about mueller's investigation and raised concerns about three possible conflicts of interest. but top white house advisers told mr. trump the conflicts of interest were not grounds to fire mueller and that doing so would be politically catastrophic, leading the president to drop the idea. >> did you want to fire robert mueller? >> fake news, folks. fake news. typical new york times fake stories. >> reporter: before departing

davos, trump suggested the reports were false, while using his address to the world economic forum to say the u.s. is open for business. >> america first does not mean america alone. when the united states grows, so does the world. r his two-day visit was also a chance to make up for some diplo massic missteps. >> it's a great honor to be with president kagame. >> reporter: in a meeting with rwanda's president, he ignored questions about his alleged use of a vulgar term to refer to african nations. >> did you discuss your comments on african countries. >> reporter: and in an interview with british journalist piers morgan, he was asked to apologize for retweeting anti-muslim content from a far right group in november. >> if you're telling me they're horrible racist people, i would certainly apologize if you would like me to do that. >> reporter: the president is expected to be interviewed by

special counsel in the coming weeks and he told reporters earlier this week he is, quote, looking forward to it. >> errol barnett at the white house, thank you. joining us with a deeper look at all of this is sahil kapur. national political reporter for "bloomberg news." good morning. was the white house's proposal what you expected? >> for the most part. there was one intriguing concession where the president is offering a path to citizen ship for those brought here as children. that's notable. but there were a series of wishes of hardliners and anti-immigration advocates in there including some $25 billion for border security, cutting family-based immigration through green card sponsorships of siblings, parents, adult children, that sort of thing. so there's a lot in there for the left to like and to hate. there's a lot for the right to like and to hate. >> at the end of the day, sahil, doesn't this come down to immigration hardliners in the

house as all immigration proposals do? i mean democrats may get to a point where they can say yes. the senate may get to a yes, but it's all about the house, isn't it? >> i think that's exactly right. the house is where immigration goes to die for the last 12 years. they passed bills in 2006 and 2013. the republican led house did not do anything. this is where president trump comes in in a major way. he has a special sort of credibility with house conservative lawmakers because the native is sort of anti-immigration base respects president trump. if he takes a strong position and he's consistent on the issue of immigration, which is key because he's not been so far. >> is there confusion, sahil, about what the white house will soap? >> absolutely there will. that's the problem. he's shifted. he's gone and deferred to congress, said he's not drawing red lines to drawing red lines. there's fear among congress, especially the leadership, that

the president won't end up sticking to his stance and he'll end up blowing them off and taking heat for the proposal. >> the white house is not nothing if it's not predictable. we got report this week president trump may have tried to fire robert mueller and was dissuaded from doing so by counsel don mcgahn, threatening to quit. what does this lead to? >> there's been a lot of intrigue about that in part because of the president's own actions and his own rhetoric, talking about, you know, going all the way back to connecting his firing of former i director james comey to his frustrations with the russian investigation, the way he dealt with his former national security adviseder michael flynn, a tweet he might have known something and didn't say something. the bochl line, we don't know what michael flynn has to bring, if some of it is exculpatory.

the big question is when he'll talk to robert mueller or if he will. >> do you think it will change the investigation? >> we don't know. we don't know what kind of evidence the special counsel has. he's not giving us updates. he's keeping his calendars close to the vest. >> sahil, there's another big moment on the horizon. state of the union address. what do you think he's going to be addressing if anything? >> it's likely to be about economics. he will make it about himself because he likes to do that. he has some things to brag about on the economic front. the stock is doing well, at record highs. unemployment is at record lows. 's going to take credit for that. he'll talk about corporate tax cuts and his deregulation has been a large part of that. >> all eyes on on tuesday night. sahil kapur, thanks as always. >> thank you. tomorrow on "face the nation" on cbs nancy cordes's

guests will include senator susan collins, senator bernie sanders of vermont, and a special interview with illinois senator tammy duckworth. there's a lot more fallout this morning from the sexual abuse scandal involving dr. larry nassar. on friday hundreds of michigan state students protested the university's handling of charges against nassar who was also the school's sports doctor. they demanded greater accountability. >> last night usa gymnastics said that all the remaining members of its board of directors will resign. several have already left. nassar was sentenced this week to as many as 175 years in prison for abusing more than 150 athletes. dr. jon lapook reports on the questions facing the team and the university. >> reporter: amanda tom a shaw was one of the 156 women who confronted larry nassar during his sentencing hearing. >> i didn't know who to tell and i was scared no one would believe me. sometimes i had a hart time

believing myself, but in the end i knew i had to report it. >> reporter: in 2014 tom a shaw complained to michigan state university that she had been sexually abused by nassar. the university conducted a sexual harassment investigation and cleared him. the report given to her read we cannot find there was a sexual harassment. a different more detailed conclusion was sent to nassar and his boss at michigan state. unknown to tom a shaw, the report fort significant problems that the practice will want to address. those problems included exposing patients to unnecessary trauma based on the possibility of perceived inappropriate sexual misconduct and the failure to obtain consent. the report also recommended a chaperone during a sensitive procedure. nevertheless -- >> larry nassar was cleared to practice under new guidelines that were never enforced.

>> reporter: a 2017 michigan state university police investigation stated aet least 12 assaults were reported after nassar was cleared in 2014. many of them were at msu and involved the lack of a chaperone during sensitive procedures and ungloved skin to skin-contact. today tom ashaaw told cbs news she felt anger and betrayed that her university concealed critically important information to her. a louisiana man has been convicted of manslaughter in the killing of former nfl player joe mcknight. ronald gasser's attorneys claimed the 2016 shooting was a road rage incident and that g gasser feared for his life. gasser shot and killed mcknight. he faces 40 years in prison when he's sentenced in march. there are new indications this morning on just how nasty this year's flu season has

and 34 million will have contracted the virus, surprisingly the second hardest hit group, baby boomers. >> i think it's a confluence of convenients, maybe a perfect storm where we have individuals such as baby boomers who have lower numbers than typical ofs have nakss. so a nasty strain of the flu and a segment of the population which may not have gotten the shot is causing what we're seeing. >> that's correct. >> reporter: one reason, it's hitting schools and children are bringing it home. >> what we're seeing is more clusters of cases and that's going to lead to a prolonged flu season with higher cases in the leites part of the season. >> reporter: the reports of flu-related deaths is enough for those who tip luck i skip the shot to get it, like mitch philpot of texas. >> it just, they go to the doctor, they're at home, they're sitting in bed, and bam. they're gone.

time now for our morning rounds and a look at the medical news of this week. we begin with more on what's been a widespread and deadly flu season. >> according to statistics released yesterday from the centers for disease control, 49 states are reporting widespread influenza activity. only hawaii was excluded. with 37 related pediatric deaths, nearly 42 people per 100,000 have been hospitalized. dr. david agus has more. >> good morning. i'm moving to hawaii. >> for many reasons. the flu shot, should you get it or is it too leites? >> no. get it, get it, get it. even if it doesn't hit the strain that's around, you're going to get less severity to

the flu. get it if you haven't. >> older children are more susceptible, but it's surprising that baby boomers have been especially hard hit. why? >> this year is a little bit different. there certainly is a bigger incidence in the baby boomers. they're the ones out there working every day and many of them have less vaccination rates. in addition, there's a particular strain this year that when you're a child, have less immunity. everybody needs to get the flu shot. i can't say it enough. >> all right. we have our marching orders. we transition to our next topic, health issues on a global scale. the world economic forum in davos, switzerland, just wrapped up. experts and world leaders discussed a variety of issues including health and medicine. >> dr. agus was one of the attendees and can tell us about some of the health-related

matters discussed in davos. how does value affect health? >> what you get is what you pay. we're developing a system where we incentivize people for value rather than incentivize people for doing procedures. the future it's going to be, it's based on the outcome and i think that's an important move. the key in davos we all talked about is how do you define value. >> one was inequality especially when it comes to things like human enhancement drugs and bioengineering. to quote a section of that write-up, if the price tag is significant and the benefits are strong, the results would be even deeper and more entrenched in equality. >> no question. we're talking about electronic autonomous cars. nay be burning cars one day if we don't address this erb. we're going to have drugs in the

near future that may make you smarter, stronger, and if only the rich can afford them, it's going to increase this divide we have now. we have to find a way for equity. it's a major issue today, it's going to be more of a major issue tomorrow. >> that's a dystopian future right there. >> no question about it. >> speaking of which, antibiotic resistance is another issue that was talked about. what can you tell us about the latest on that. >> you know, we see in this flu season, we have anti-virals. in the first 48 hours you take this and the severity goes down. as we take more and more anti-virals, antibiotics, drug resistance is a major problem, so we have to figure out ways to use them appropriately and then incentivize research to make new drugs. if you have drugs that work, the problem is we save it till the end. what company wants to make a drug where only a few people will use it? we have to change the system there. >> what were some of your

takeaways? >> in general there's optimism. there's optimism that vaccines are working in africa, there's optimism we have new treatments for cancer and alzheimer's. one of the big discussions that we sat on the stage and talked about is health care right i think what came down at the end it's a right, but it's also a responsibility and i think defining both of those is going to be critical as we move forward. so it was a privilege to be there but the discussions really hopefully push the march forward. >> do you think the discussions translate into action in the long term, medium term, short term? >> no question about it. the power of davos is who's in the room as you head to health ministers. when you say something in the hallways afterward, you talk about it and action happens. it's an amazing place in that regard. >> not a bad alpine setting. >> no question about it. it snowed a little bit. >> a little cold and remote. >> lucky you. from protesting in the streets to putting their names on election-day ballots, the

a year after president trump took office, hundreds of thousands of women took to the streets in massive demonstrations. now many are looking to turn the energy of protest into actual power. a record number of women are running for office this year and it's the topic of the "time" magazine cover story "the avengers." here to talk about it is "time" national correspondent charlotte alter. good morning. >> good morning. >> how extraordinary is it?

>> it's up 350%. in an ordinary -- actually the last two-year period from 2015 to 2016, emily's list saw about 900 women reach out running for office. in the last one year, they've heard from almost 30,000, which is a huge jump. >> let's talk about the catalysts that have driven women to do this. you liken it to citizens enlisting in a sudden war. what's taking these women out of their sort of like happy professional personal lives and into the political arena. >> yeah. what's interesting is i think trump caused these women to mar march, but it's their republican members of congress who are kind of providing the incentive for them to run. most of the women i spoke to said they were absolutely enraged not only just by the actions of the trump administration but by their republican representatives who were trying to take away their health care. that was the number one issue

women cited their reason for running, not only trying to take aware their health care but cancel town halls, refusing to meet with constituents and not kind of stepping up and listening to the people they were supposed to represent. a lot of women said, you know what? i can do a better job than that guy. >> it's interesting. when the march happened, and we were talking about this in the break, a lot of people thought, this is an impressive turnout, but what's going to happen next. something did happen. >> absolutely. i mean there was a ton of skepticism after the march last year. it was interesting to me because it was the largest single-day demonstration in american history and it was almost -- it was led entirely by women and it was mostly women who were marching, and yet there was a lot of, hmm, what are they really going to do about it. one thing that i thought was interesting about this year's m.a.s.h. is that every single person i spoke to, i covered the march last weekend, said that

they had been -- if they weren't running, they were organizing. if they weren't organizing, they were donating. if they weren't donating, they were voting and encouraging everybody around them to vote. >> one of the things we talk about when we have previously looked at the dearth of women candidates is women feel like they need to be qualified. they need to check all the boxes before they run. the same feeling is not true for men. this year that seems to have changed in large part because of hillary clinton and donald trump. >> absolutely. this is a total paradigm shift in the way women think about their own qualifications for running for office. i think like you said, there are all these studies that show that men will go for a job when they meet 60% of the qualifications, most of the qualifications. women feel like they can only put themselves forward if they check all the boxes. i think what we saw in the last 2016 election, you saw women who many perceived as being extremely qualified. certainly the only woman to ever

come close to the presidency. running against a man who had never held public office, had never served in any government role, and it made a lot of women think to themselves -- and then she lost. so it made them think to themselves, if hillary clinton was the most qualify woman to ever run for president and she lost to somebody like donald trump, maybe all those qualifications aren't zwaully that important. >> very interesting. there are 2 women in the senate up for your re-election. 11 are democrats. are republicans answering with female candidates? >> absolutely. this is a really tough map for democrats in 2018. most of the energy is certainly on the democratic side, but there absolutely are a lot of women republicans running. it's not as if this is a -- this is all on the democrat side. there are certainly a lot of republican women. especially women who are going to be challenging democratic incumbents, but the surge of energy, the surge of women who are like putting themselves forward who would have never,

ever considered it before is largely on the progressive side. >> women make up half the country. only a fifth of congress and 12% of the governor's seats, so perhaps a rebalancing of the scales is overdue. charlotte alter from "time," thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. up next, a part of our planet never befofefore seen by humans and why the international group that found it is calling on the world to protect it. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." crohn's disease. you're more than just a bathroom disease. you're a life of unpredictable symptoms. crohn's, you've tried to own us. but now it's our turn to take control with stelara® stelara® works differently for adults with moderately to severely active crohn's disease. studies showed relief and remission, with dosing every 8 weeks. stelara® may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. some serious infections require hospitalization.

when a bomber detonated an ambulance packed with explosives in kabul, the capital. at least 150 people were injured but the number is expected to rise. the taliban is blamed for the attack. the perpetrators will be brought to just is. multiple investigations are opening into alleged sexual misconduct by casino mogul steve wy wynn. >> winn who is credited with revitalizes the las vegas strip is also finance chair for the republican national committee. following the report, the board of directors of wynn's company and the massachusetts gaming commission will review the allegations. in a statement, wynn denies any wrongdoing writing, quote, the

idea that i ever assaulted any woman is preposterous. we find ourselves in a world where people can make allegations, regardless of truth, and a person is left with the choice of weathering insu insulting publicity or engaging in multi-year lawsuits. president trump is dismisses reporting that he ordered special counsel robert mueller be fired last year. the white house has not issued a denial of the report that mr. trump wanted mueller fired. cbs news confirmed last june that president trump was angry about mueller's investigation and raised concerns about three possible mueller conflicts of interest. mr. trump suggested the reports were false. >> did you want to fire robert mueller? >> fake news. typical "new york times" fake stories. >> "the new york times" reported the president backed off on his desire to fire mueller but only after white house counsel don mcgahn threatened to quit.

on tuesday night president trump delivers his first state of the union address. it comes amid an increasingly bitter fight over immigration reform. the mueller probe and the majority of the american public holding an unfavorable views of his presidency. >> for a preview of what we might hear, we're joined by michael waldman. he's, of course, the president of the brennan center for justice at nyu and a former director of speechwriting for president bill clinton. he wrote or edited four state of theion addresses. good morning, michael. those addresses are long. writing or editing them are no small feat. what do you expect the tone is going to be on tuesday night? >> well, there's a kind of tone that presidents generally try to strive for in a state union. majesty of the office is not one

people associate with donald trump. when you think about it, what's complicated with him, we as listener, we as voters know sometimes he can read a speech from a teleprompter and last year he gave a speech from congress and it was kind of boring and a lot of people si breathed a sigh of relief. teleprompter trump is so different from twitter trump. he doesn't sound like a regular president but someone calling in to a radio show and he often will undermine a big speech like this just within days by doing something. >> which he did last year. >> two or three days after that speech that received pretty good marks from people, at 7:00 in the morning on saturday, which to many of us is an early time on a saturday -- >> not for us. >> i know, i know. but he tweeted out that president trump had had his phones tapped and we were off to the races again. i would expect him to have a

sober speech but with a question mark how seriously he takes it or how long it will last. >> as you mentioned, you wrote many of bill clinton's state of the union addresses. how do you handle that if you're a speechwriter? >> you know, different presidents at different times have addressed scandals or crises different ways. richard nixon when he was president talked about watergate and said one year of watergate was enough. in bill clinton's case, he wanted to talk about the issues as he saw them, though it was the day before the state of the union in 1998 that he stated his infamous denial about monica lewinsky. i cannot imagine that president trump is going to talk about this. i really wish that he would talk about russia and foreign interference in our elections and the need to protect our democracy in 2018. that's how i think a president ought to talk about this. as we know, he tends to talk

about it as fake news and that sort of stuff rather than addressing it that way. >> one thing that the president is likely to address is immigration. we're in the middle of a big fight over the fate of the d.r.e.a.m.ers. stephen miller is going to be the speechwriter on tap. he's notoriously conservative when it comes to immigration. does that translate to president trump's rhetoric on the subject? >> you know, it may well. the state of the union address last year or the address to congress evidently had the hand of gary cohn who's the economic adviser from goldman sachs. the inaugural address which talked about american carnage was by all accounts steve bannon and stephen miller, and miller is one of the most sharply focus on restricting not just illegal immigration but legal immigration of anybody in the whole federal government. and it is an interesting moment because it isn't always the case

that these speeches happen at an interesting time, but there's a big tense negotiation happening sort of in public over immigration, and the white house is putting out its proposal, which we assume the president will talk about, which is to legalize up to 1.8 million dreamers, undocumented -- >> children brought here without papers. >> right. but also demanding $25 billion for the wall that mexico was supposed to pay for. he could be like reading a lo hostage note on television. >> we know the president's words have had an effect on the debate before. we'll see what happens. michael waldman, i know you'll be watching. thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> the president will deliver the state of the union address on tuesday night. you can see it here on cbs. recent heavy rains have paris on edge. their recent flooding in the city of light and the senn river

is putting them to the test. elaine cobb has more. good morning. >> good morning. the river is still rising and there's already a lot of flooding in paris. but the rain has stopped for now. however, the siene is supposed to crest tonight. at almost three feet. the roads and tunnels are completely flood and closed. the city's stretch with one of the main commuter train lines is closed and all boat traffic on the river has been banned. a flood plan has been implemented. some museums are also on high alert. in the suburbs people have erected flood defenses around their homes. many are using rowboats and barges to get around. but with more rain forecast for tonight and the coming days, the weather servais says it will be

through security. the security guard not understanding what carson's device was or what it was used for. >> what happened? >> we were trawly told that he couldn't come through security with that. carson got a little anxious and so the scatchard guard said you have to get control of the child. >> how did you feel? >> defeated. >> reporter: amy couldn't let it go. she took to social media, launched this tweet, treated very poorly by the "q" security last night for autism aware ps night, a message there reverberated throughout the arena. amy's complaint got the attention of anthony bonavita, senior vice president for facility operations at the "q." the belles' experience hit home for him. his son dominick is also in the autism spectrum.

what did they say when they reached out? >> initially apologizing. but they just listened and then gave them some suggestions, some things i was thinking of. >> reporter: the "q" responded quickly, working with the cleveland clinic on training for staff, the goal? to become more inclusive for those with sensory issues ranging from autism to ptsd. why was that so important for the "q"? >> for any business you want to be as broad as you can to attract as many different people as you can, that's just good business. but we're more than that. what we mean to this city, it means more than that. a business element. we want it to be more about my son or yore son or anybody else's parent or somebody who has ptsd to know that they have a home and a place that they can come. >> reporter: now when a family

likes the belles comes to the "q," they can pick sensory friendly bag, it includes items like fidget toys, weighted lap pad, and noise canceling headphones. there's also a sensory awareness room. a designated space away from the action that serves as an escape if the sights and sounds in the arena get to be too much. sooblting bunnell art on the walls and tactile displays that can calm a mind that's been overstate lated. the "q" can thank michelle congress for the changes. she and her husband julian maha are physicians and the parents of two boys, including a 10-year-old who is autistic. they created a nonprofit called kulture city focused on a mission of inclusion. >> we saw how having a diagnosis like autism is truly made the families isolated from the
