7:04 am
would be extremely reckless. but republicans argue that this memo shows abuse of surveillance power at the justice department. democrats are also weighing in saying that this vote to release the memo politicizes the intelligence-gathering process. >> when you read the memo, it's going to be pretty clear why democrats and particularly the democratic party did not want it to come into the public light. >> reporter: republicans are encouraging the release of the four-page memo now in the hands of the administration. it was written by house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes, a member of the trump transition team. in it nunes alleges fbi misconduct regarding surveillance of members of the trump campaign. >> i was an informal unpaid volunteer. >> reporter: among the fbi's targets, former national security adviser carter page. the fbi requested a classified surveillance warrant against page in 2016 after he traveled to russia earlier that year. page was also mentioned in the
7:05 am
now-infamous dossier which includes allegations about president trump and russia. republicans say the memo shows abuse of power at the justice department. >> it's silly to talk about what's in a piece of paper as being relevant and not let the american people see it and judge it for themselves. >> reporter: fbi director wray and deputy attorney general rosenstein went to capitol hill earlier this month in an effort to persuade house speaker paul ryan not to release the memo. ryan reportedly denied the request. >> chairman nunes has acted like a stooge. >> reporter: nancy pelosi said republicans made up a memo to discredit the russia probe. >> they have crossed from dangerously and recklessly dealing with intelligence to a cover-up of an investigation that they don't want the american people to see come to fruition. >> reporter: in order to obtain a warrant, all they would need to do is show probable cause, a reasonable basis to show that carter page is working on behalf
7:06 am
of the russian government. but we don't even know if this request was actually approved. what we do know is that the memo is now at the white house. it was taken over there last night, and the president has up to five days to block its release. >> all right paula. the light is back. we thank you very much for joining us. democrats are also asking questions about the sudden departure of the fbi's deputy director. andrew mccabe, also a former acting director stepped down yesterday just weeks before his scheduled retirement. fbi sources tell cbs news it was mccabe decision while a justice department source indicates he was told to leave. jeff pegues is outside fbi headquarters in washington with the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. for more than eight months the fbi's number two has been the target of increasing criticism not only for his role in the russia investigation but also his role overseeing the clinton private e-mail server investigation. sources say within the last few days something changed inside
7:07 am
the fbi that led to andrew mccabe's abrupt departure. >> i worked very very closely with director comey. >> reporter: deputy director andrew mccabe led the fbi's russia investigation when it began in 2016 and became the acting director of the bureau when president trump fired james comey. >> director comey enjoyed broad support within the fbi. >> reporter: over the last several months mccabe has become a lightning rod for critics. republicans on capitol hill and president trump have singled mccabe out after it was revealed his wife received almost $700,000 from democratic party sources in her unsuccessful bid for the virginia state senate. >> mccabe got more than $500,000 from essentially hillary clinton, and is he investigating hillary clinton? >> reporter: mccabe led the fbi's investigation into hillary clinton's emails and his role in the probe is under review by the doj inspector general.
7:08 am
president trump has denied reports that he asked mccabe who he vote for when mccabe became acting fbi director. >> do you know how much -- >> did you ask mccabe who he voted for? did you ask him that? >> i don't think so. >> reporter: the president has been openly critical of the deputy director on twitter. mccabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. in an e-mail to the work force, director christopher wray mentioned the inspector genal investigation saying that he would hold people accountable and that mccabe plans to take leave until his official retirement on march 18th. and so mccabe is leaving early, and he has been relieved of his duties. the white house said the president had nothing to do with it but that president trump stands by his criticism of mccabe and his wife. john? >> all right jeff pegues thank you very much. in washington president trump goes to capitol hill
7:09 am
tonight to deliver this year's state of the union address. his wide-ranging speech will touch on trade, immigration, and economic policy. the president is not expected to mention the russia investigation. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president trump's message to his supporters will be as follows -- you were right to bet on me because the economy and border security is at the center of the debate. the midterm election message designed to mobilize the trump faithful and help republicans retain control of congress. [ applause ] president trump said he will use his first state of the union address to do what most presidents have done -- sell his accomplishments. >> worked on it hard including our great success with the markets and with the tax cuts. >> reporter: the trump white house also embraced another ritual promising to speak to main street and strike a bipartisan tone. >> what is the nexus between what has happened and your own life? and then how is that a framework
7:10 am
for working together in 2018? >> reporter: the president will propose a tougher approach to trade, $1.7 trillion for infrastructure and an immigration compromise including $25 billion for a border wall and cuts to legal immigration coupled with a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants known as d.r.e.a.m.ers. nearly a dozen house democrats will boycott the speech undercutting the president's bipartisan message. >> this is an amazing moment. >> reporter: speechwriter and senior policy adviser steven miller helped author the speech and it will reflect his belief that mr. trump is the leader of a global populist movement. >> president trump's the most gifted politician of our time and he's the best orator to hold that office in generations. >> reporter: the democrats have selected massachusetts congressman joseph kennedy iii to deliver the official party response. in a sign of party diversity, republicans suggest it might be divisions. there will be four unofficial
7:11 am
responses representing various democratic constituencies. >> thank you very much. former adviser to brianpaul ryan has spoken to gop members and members of congress about what we can expect in the state of the union. good morning. >> good morning. >> so the white house is saying this is an opportunity to unify the country, but how can that be when his day-to-day rhetoric is so divisive? >> well the white house argues and members of congress i spoke to say, look he's got a pretty good record. if you stripped away the tweets if you strip away the noise, if you strip away the volatile behavior tax reform stock market at record highs, decimating isis, what they believe is progress in dealing with iran, the move of -- declaring jerusalem the capital of israel. there's a series of very presidential successes here that they are going to out to. and they believe, look this could be the beginning of the re-election campaign for the house republican majority which state of the unions often are, and that's the message they want
7:12 am
to convey today. >> but dan, the tension in this white house has been despite the achievements the president often undermines his own success with the public. that's why his approval ratings are low. so in the state of the union, do you think or are they worried on capitol hill or worried that he through a tweet beforehand or afterwards or some other thing changes the story before the state of the union has a chants to settle? >> yes. here we are the day before where they're running around touting successes they'll highlight in the speech thent's not a household name -- take rodney freedlingheisen chairman of the house appropriations committee. members of congress spend their lives trying to become chairman of the house appropriations committee. in his first term as chair of the house appropriations committee, he announced he's not running for re-election. he's the eighth republican committee chairman to announce he's not running for re-election. that tells you where the members's are at. they think they're running into headwinds. the president has successes to
7:13 am
out to and could deliver a good speech tonight as he did a year ago, as he did in davos last week. to your point, if there's so much noise and friction and there's so much sort of corrosiveness in the public debate, the dialogue it doesn't matter. >> yeah. timing is everything. let's talk about the possible release of the controversial intelligence memo. the democrats are calling it reckless. you've talked to some of the republicans. why do they think it's important that the memo be released? >> basically the republicans i've spoken to who are not of the devin nunes group, the pointy of the sphere, reveal something sort of cover-up most who are neutral but broadly sympathetic to the president argue, look in comey's fbi, there was unprofessionalism, there was inappropriate behavior and actions. in fact, if the basis for this warrant request was democratic opposition research that should be exposed, that should be discussed. maybe different people's
7:14 am
positions should be changed within the organization. that doesn't negate whatever robert mueller is working on. in other words, if mueller identifies real wrongdoing in areas of collusion, in areas of money laundering in areas of obstruction of justice, it won't matter what inappropriate things were done at the fbi 18 months ago. so these issues are in parallel tracks but they're not directly connected -- >> both things could be true. >> and to clarify, the memo is called the nunes memo because it is written by the republicans. it is cherrypicked democrats say. >> that's right. that's what the democrats argue. >> thank you dan. >> good to be with you. >> dan will be part of our cbs news coverage of the soviet union address beginning tonight at 9:00 8:00 eastern on cbs. we'll lead the coverage from new york with jeff glor anchoring from washington. our entire political team will provide reporting and analysis. a virginia voice among the latest victims of the deadly flu

8:03 am
something we can do as americans. >> let me ask you about substance. the president is expected to talk about immigration, as well as infrastructure. and on the issue of immigration, the white house has proposed a generous proposal in terms of a pathway to citizenship for some almost two million d.r.e.a.m.ers. at the same time wants a lot of money, $25 billion for some type of border security. would you support that? >> well i'm going to look at that. obviously everyone wants to increase security on the borders. what it exactly looks like and how much it's going to cost is going to be the details that we really haven't seen from the government. at this point, you know, it's -- $25 billion is a lot of money. during the campaign the president talked about building a wall but said mexico was going to pay for it. now we know it's going to be the american public that's going to pay for it. we have to be careful. we have to be smart with our money. but look i think the president has laid out goals and objectives that need to be put on the table and discussed. i think the democrats are going to have that. i think other republicans are going to have some. i'm very optimistic about an
8:04 am
immigration plan going forward. >> senator, would you give us your sense of your party exactly on this question of immigration? you're making reasonable sounding views here about listening to what the president has to say. a lot of senators in your party don't want to do a deal with this president. can you straighten us out on exactly what the receptivity is going to be to this offer from the president? >> sure. i don't think it's a question of doing a deal with this president. i don't think you'll see that at all. i think they want to get an immigration deal done. ubl obviously daca and the d.r.e.a.m.ers are important, but border security also important to democrats. the details are going to be something that have to be worked out. we have to look at what some people call chain migration, other people call family reunification. all of that is going to be issues. what i'm hoping we can do is focus on the two most important pillars of immigration right now which is the daca issue, as well as border security. i think there can be broad consensus on those two pillars. >> and you vote with the republicans for the spending deal. despite not having a deal on
8:05 am
daca. how and why did you decide to vote against your own party? >> i don't think i voted against my own party in particular. there other democrats who voted like i did. i had to do a different equation. i campaigned a lot on the child health insurance program c.h.i.p. that was an important part of my campaign, important to my state where 150,000 kids were getting pink slips for their health care. that was very important that we were funding c.h.i.p. for six years. alabama also would have been hurt a lot by a shutdown in the government. we have a lot of federal dollars that come in. so i looked at the whole picture, i was not happy, to be honest with you, i don't think continuing resolutions are a way to fund the government. we need to get back to some regular order where we do a budget and have that. but having said that i had to make a decision and i felt like keeping the government open and funding c.h.i.p. it was the right way to go. >> the night of your election, you said this was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. you still feel that sir? >> absolutely. it's just amazing.

"48 hours" correspondent erin moriarty spoke to bell's father about why he does not think his justified. elin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. if you open the "washington post" today, you might wonder about this full-page ad that you certainly can't miss. it was placed by a grieving father willing to pay any price to clear his son's name. police reports say michael bell jr. was drunk and uncooperative
8:16 am
when he was pulled over by cops early on the morning of november 9th 2004. >> i didn't do nothing wrong! >> reporter: this police re-enactment is based on officer accounts. there was a scuffle. cops finally had bell in a hold over a car in the family's driveway when suddenly officer eric strausbaugh yells "he has my gun." >> it was a high in and shot the boy in the head. he died three hours later. suffering that nobody >> reporter: after three days the kenosha police chief declared bell's death didn't make sense to his dad. when the bell family sued the the unlawful use of deadly force, they discovered that the icers involved statements from family and neighbors or medical evidence. as seen in the police fired the shot, alberto gonzalez, said he was positioned to the left of bell and couldn't see if bell had a gun.
8:17 am
is it tough to come back here? >> right now i'm emotional. i'm really feeling it. >> reporter: bell's dad disputes the account. this photo re-creates what bell thinks happened based on witnesses at the scene. it shows that gonzalez was positioned between bell and strausbaugh and shows bell was shot on the right side of the head, not the left. bell's attorneys confronted the officers with the evidence in pre-tile depositions. >> is it still yourz had his gun pressed against the left side of michael shot? >> yes. >> reporter: you found out that what the police were saying couldn't have happened -- >> never to. >> reporter: -- because of the medical evidence? >> that's right. because of the medical examiner's report. >> reporter: just days before the case was going to trial, the city settled the case for $1.75 million. still not satisfied, bell hired russell beckman, a retired kenosha police detective, to take a closer look at what might have happened the morning bell
8:18 am
jr. was shot. there was a scuffle. >> it was right here upon this car. >> reporter: he discovered something that appears to have been missed or ignored in the original police investigation -- a broken mirror at the center of the police scuffle. he demonstrated his theory using an unloaded gun and a police holster similar to the one officer strausbaugh was wearing. >> the gun comes in contact with the mirror and gets caught in the jacket gap. >> reporter: bell believes it was the mirror not his son, tugging at officer strausbaugh's belt whemp asked officials to take a look he got nowhere. michael graveley kenosha district southern says the chances of bringing charges against any of the officers has passed. >> i think the simplest explanation here is that officers were candid at the beginning of this process. i hope that officer strausbaugh
8:19 am
would have reported if his holster had been caught. >> reporter: more than 13 years after his son's death, this former military pilot still soldiers on. >> nobody understands what it takes to get to this level, to bring this kind of awareness to it. the best way to describe it is that it's my duty. >> reporter: bell may not get a new independent review but others will because of a billboard campaign that he conducted. wisconsin is now the only state that requires an independent investigation after a police shooting. a law that he believes should be enacted nationwide. i want to make one other point. it's not just the families of the person shot who suffer, so do the officers involved. in 2010 the officer who said bell had been tugging at his gun, eric strausbaugh, took his own life. we reached out to the kenosha police department but no one responded to our request for comment. >> heartbreaking all the way around. you feel for the family when the

among the vulnerable people in whom complications are more common such as the elderly, such as individuals with underlying conditions as well as children from birth to 4 years old. and also as we know the vaccine this year although it's always best to get vaccinated is not the perfect vaccine. it is not, as we would say, favorably efficacious in the sense that we only don't know right now what the efficaciousness is going to be but it likely is not going to be much more than around 30%. i say that with some trepidation because i don't want people not to get vaccinated. every type of protection against the virus with a vaccine is better than no protection at all. so a combination of a vaccine that doesn't work very well and a really bad virus. >> given that combination, dr. fauci, what should people do? >> the first thing you should do -- and again, getting backs
8:32 am
to -- back to vaccination, if you have not been vaccinated, you should get vaccinated for sure. if you do get infected if you have what looks like it's going to be a serious infection, don't hesitate to get to a health care provider who can get you an anti-influenza anti-viral like tamiflu. this is particularly true for people who fall into the risk categories where complications are common. so if you're an elderly person or you have an underlying disease, you should not wait to medication. >> you know one of the interesting things in reading about everything that it's been 100 years that lethal 1918 flu. and you're saying there could be catastrophic. why can't we get a universal vaccine to protect us? >> well influence is a very -- influenza is a very unusual virus in that it tends to drift from year to year. sometimes when you get a pandemic, it's what we call a shift. a major change. this is so different from other
8:33 am
important viruses like measles. the measles i got as a child is the same measles that's in the vaccine that we vaccinated my children with. so you don't have to worry about that change. so what we're fighting against is trying to get a vaccine that would induce a response against that part of the virus that doesn't change from season to season or with a pandemic. we refer to that as the universal flu vaccine. and only relatively recently have we been able to get an insight to understand what part of that virus actually doesn't change very much from year to year, and now how can we induce with a vaccine a response that would be dominant against that particular part of the virus because the vaccines we make now when they protect you, they make a response that's a good response but it happens to be against that part of the virus that tends to drift because of new few -- of mutation was year

to year. >> thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you. immigration will be a focus of president trump's state of the union address tonight. it comes on the heels of the president's plan to protect so-called d.r.e.a.m.er immigrants from deportation while increasing border security. it's an important issue to the five orlando-area voters we spoke with ahead of mr. trump's speech. the group ranged from liberal to conservative in ideology and spanned generations. we spoke about the need for a border wall and the challenges the president faces overseas. debbie, you voted for hillary clinton, you're not a fan of donald trump. do you expect him in this next year to do something to address some of the issues you have with his presidency? >> he's the -- the most forefront issue now is daca in terms of immigration. he's put a clock on congress to figure out you know a resolution for daca recipients. and at this point, congress isn't coming up with anything. >> my family my husband is an immigrant. my parents and my siblings are immigrants. they came from canada and
8:35 am
england respectively. if you want to come to the united states, i'm all for it. i'm all for bringing people in because we are a nation of immigrants. but i want people to come here legally, apply for the resident alien green card or you know go through the path to citizenship. >> but the immigration process takes more than ten years. and some people don't have the luxury of that time. some people are fleeing their countries due to civil war conflict in their countries. >> my family's from the middle east. we vote primarily republican small business owners. i agree the laws aren't fair and it takes way too long to apply to be a citizen in this country. i don't think saying the laws are unfair are a good enough excuse to justify illegal immigration. it supersedes people trying to come the right way. >> debbie, what do you think is the president's mind in? i think he's focused on the border wall as he has been since he announced his candidacy.
8:36 am
personally, i think that's a huge mistake. i think it's going to be a waste of taxpayer dollars. >> angela, you're a trump supporter. do you care about the border wall, and how much if so? >> i want the wall and i think mexico can pay for it. when you say pay for it, it doesn't have to be monetarily. there could be something of value that could be utilized from out of mexico. so it could be a win-win for both of our countries. >> daniel do you feel safer with donald trump as president? >> absolutely. >> what's your feeling about north korea, angela? >> i think north korea is -- is crazy. the man is crazy. but he pulls any kind of stunt, he's going to get flattened. >> what does that mean "get flattened"? >> we will retaliate. i'd rather be diplomatic. >> i think north korea is actually a good litmus test for how well trump is doing. it's weird but on the same issue he's at polar opposite ends. on one hand he's insulting the
8:37 am
north korean leader on twitter. on the other hand you have the south korean president who's coming out and saying you know we give our gratitude and are thankful for donald trump for bringing north korea back to the talking table. so it's just amazing to me how he can be -- >> trump is crazy like a fox. >> very. >> the other -- he scares people who aren't americans and don't understand the nuances of language. all they see, the lunatic crazy man who they can't figure out. and so that keeps them on their heels, i believe. >> debbie what's your feeling about the national security under the trump presidency? >> angela mentioned diplomacy. i don't think that president trump is capable of diplomacy. he's insulting world leaders on twitter without a second thought. >> diplomacy's overblown. look, we've had diplomatic endeavors to solve the mideast crisis for 30 years now. longer than that. and nothing has accomplished -- nothing was accomplished. diplomacy is a bunch of mealey-mouthed people in my
8:38 am
opinion. >> those in the state department would differ with that. >> right. >> is mealy-mouthed bad john? >> in that instance it's pejorative. >> those on the front lines hope that diplomacy works before they get deployed. >> right. absolutely, or before it gets to the path they were talking about with military. >> i love so much their passion about their feelings. it shows when you go to people and ask what do they think, they have lots to say and articulate it very well. >> it often doesn't fit right into the boxes. >> that's right. >> always good to get out there. cbs news coverage of the state of the union begins tonight at 9:00 eastern, 8:00 central. jeff glor will anchor from washington, and we'll be here in studio 57. plus our political team will offer original reporting and analysis. the youngest member of this year's "forbes" 30 under 30 list is only starting to make her mark. ahead, we'll talk to 13-year-old activist and author marley dias. look who's sitting next to her -- debbie dias. hello, aunt debbie dias, who works here at

8:43 am
a campaign called #1000blackgirlbooks. she was frustrated because she hadn't read books in school featuring black main characters. she set out to collect books featuring characters that look like her. she succeeded big time. more than ten times over. marley received and donated more than 11,000 books. remember, she was just trying to get 1,000 at the time. she's now 13. she's got a new book called "marley's eyes gets it done and so can you," by sharing her own journey, she hopes to encourage others to become activists. marley joins us at the table. welcome. >> thank you. >> i remember we were blown away -- remember norah, you were a little girl raising books. we thought, she's going places. ava duverney wrote this "she's a beautiful brew of kindness, confidence and curiosity." >> thank you. i appreciate that. i got to meet her through all the events i've done with "elle" and got to be an editor in residence for them. i wanted to write things that

expressed the experiences of girls. i had to -- i had an interview with her and was so lucky to get to ask questions like what were her favorite books as a teenager and who inspired her, and why she decided to be a director even though she was a publicist originally. >> that's how she started. she nailed it about you. she didn't say you were a tbn, which is a -- a total book nerd -- >> thank you. i appreciate that. i try -- >> that's in your book. i didn't make it up. >> i try to block words. i don't want people calling me things. in the book i talk about how i'm a perfect mix of everything and so is everybody else. if you like reading, you are allowed to like to dance and sing and to like to act. even though i wear glasses, i'm not just a mousy person who stays in my room even though i do sometimes. stays in my room and reads. >> your campaign about racial harmony, what is it that you're seeing that's disturbing you that you said "i got to do something"? >> the biggest thing that disturbs me are the social structures and infrastructures in schools and communities that are pushing away from the
8:45 am
intersectionality of being a black person and a woman and a girl, and they're not including all of us. but they're thinking that because you're black and a woman we are trying to create a system that supports you, but they're not thinking of that point of intersection between the two where i'm a mix of both. we need to include me in both of those realities and not just one or the other. >> what about your friends in terms of this racial harmony now? >> i have a very diverse group of friends. and i feel like in school we try to be open with each other about whether or not we feel like we -- someone made a joke that was not appropriate or we feel like we were saying something that was not an educated response to a question. which i know makes us sound like we're really p.c. whatever, like this. we have a lot of fun together. we try to keep it loose because not every conversation is going to have perfect knowledge with things that we say. we want to always stay educated on the things that are happening in our community and the communities that surround us. >> what are some of the things and advice you give in terms of being an activist? >> i think the biggest thing is that success is not measured by whether or not you're on "cbs
8:46 am
this morning" or whether or not you make the local news station -- >> wait a second marley. wait a second -- >> depending on your career -- >> step back. >> i will revert. i mean, it's not measured by the things, the places that you go and materialistic things but by the people that you touch and the places you're servicing. i'm servicing black girls and servicing educators and all kids to see the beauty and diversity of people but i want to make sure that everyone knows that when you help that one person or when you give back your full energy, are you helping somebody just as much as i am. >> where does your confidence come from at this stage? i'm thinking she's got no notes, no nothing. this is you talking because you do have a confident way about you. where does it come from, this desire to improve, be better and spread this message to others? >> i think the biggest thing, where my passionateness comes from, i love reading. it's something that i care about. it's not like i'm talking about football or basketball or dancing. things that i enjoy, but i'm not necessarily -- not my favorite things. i try to say with kids you

good morning i'm jim donovan, the eagles will practice today at the university of minnesota as they gear up for super bowl 526789 last night the nfl
8:53 am
champion eagles were introduced during the spectacular super bowl opening night. the eagles appeared much more relaxed than their opponents take on the new england patriots sunday. now we turn to katie for a look at the forecast, little snow working its way east, so we have travel issues as a result that far primarily we've got wet roads at the moment but there is grassy unpaved surface accumulation taking place primarily the western half of our area, that is currently seeing the snow. i like this particular model representation of how much we'll see. it is not a lot. this is the bulk of what you're going to find here, coating upwards of inch locally, perhaps 52, one extra strong burst of light snow comes through here. but this should all be out of here by the tail ends of the typical evening rush. so mainly mid-day to early evening issue with the minor disturbance clearing out tonight then again thursday night into friday, another front comes along with a rain over to snow mix. and that won't leave much more
8:54 am
than minor accumulation at that as well, eagles game day sunday too actually looking like could see some additional accumulation. >> accident on i59 northbound at penn's landing two left lanes are blocked. no words on injuries at this point. watch yourself there. take a look at the maps. there is an accident involving eight vehicles at the intersection of fairfield road and pen road in plymouth township. there are injuries reported there. please use main street as your alternate. once again back to the cameras this is roosevelt boulevard near i76 where you can see some slight snow falling at this hour. and that's "eyewitness news" for now. join us for "eyewitness news" later today at noon, i'm jim donovan. make a great day.
