7:02 am
expected to be the hardest hit. >> i was haunted by tweets every single day. >> surprising revelations by omarosa on "celebrity big brother." a fire rips through a multi-million-dollar mansion in one of los angeles's most exclusive neighborhoods. >> oh, my god. >> oh, that's so rich. >> -- and all that matters -- >> hundreds of thousands of eagles fans poured into the streets of philadelphia to celebrate the team's first super bowl victory. >> victory, victory, victory. >> -- on "cbs this morning." e-a-g-l-e-s, eagles, yeah slam. >> no fan was as excited as the team's center jason kelce. >> we wanted it more and that's why we're the first team in eagles history to hold that freaking trophy. >> reporter: this morning's "eye
7:03 am
opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." while you were sleeping, government dysfunction was on full display in washington. a short time ago the house approved a compromised funding bill and sent it to the president to sign to end the second government shutdown in just three weeks. >> the senate voted for the measure after a midnight deadline because of a long protest by republican rand paul. he blasted members of his own parts for abandoning their view of government spending and fiscal responsibility. >> it's a litmus test of hypocrisy. if they were against trillion-dollar deficits for president obama, why is it okay now? >> nancy cordes is on capitol hill with a last-minute push to get the government open on time. nancy, good morning. >> good morning.
7:04 am
well, they're trying to get this bill to the president as quickly as possible because most federal employees, frankly, did not go to bed last night, expecting that their government would shut down. and so this really was a scramble. as usual, congress left its deal to the last minute, leaving very little room for margin of error and error appeared in the form of kentucky republican rand paul on the deal that lists spending caps for defense and domestic outlays. it also includes a $90 billion outlay for disaster relief plus a one-year elimination of the debt ceiling. so the total price tag here, about $300 billion in annual budget deficits that could exceed $1 trillion. rand paul is not the only one in the party who is criticizing it.
7:05 am
the rest weren't ready to court a government shutdown over it. once his time ran out over night, this plan passed by wide margins in the house and the senate. this government overnight shutdown was so unexpected that most federal administrators didn't have any time to plan for it. some overnight employees were sent home. the rest are being told to check with their federal agency before they come in this morning. >> nancy, thanks. the white house admits it made a mistake with staff secretary rob porter, one of president trump's most trusted aides. senior staff mishandled their response to abuse allegations by porter's two ex-wives. the spokesman said the president was saddened and surprised by the news. julianna goldman is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning. that's right. we saw a rare display of attrition from this white house yesterday. officials originally said porter would not be leaving immediately, but yesterday he
7:06 am
did clean out his office and now questions about who knew what and when remain and whether anyone else will be held accountable is another matter. >> we all could have done better over the last few hours or last few days in dealing with this situation. >> reporter: the spokesman acknowledged the white house fumbled its addressing of the abuse by rob porter. photos caused public outrage. porter was widely respected in the white house. but now three women, two ex-wives, and one of his ex-girlfriends have surfaced with allegations of abuse. porter's second wife jennifer willoughby reports he asked her two times to take down instagram posts. >> he was asking me to downplay
7:07 am
it. >> secretary john kelly only learned of it wednesday, but the fbi told him about porter's abusive behavior in november of 2017. the revelations reportedly had no impact on porter's standing. nktd, he accompanied the president on his first day's visit to china and that's putting john kelly in the cross hairs. in addition to this episode, earlier in the week he referred to some of the so-called dreamers as lazy. in an e-mail to white house staff last night kelly said domestic violence is abhorrent and has no place in our society. >> at best, that's spin. at worst, it's a lie. >> peter has served in the past three republican administrations. >> general kelly knew enough about the allegations. he should have done something about it. >> one of the other surprise is his access to the white house given the allegations. it's unclear whether porter
7:08 am
disclosed all of information on his security form, which in some cases could be a felony. former trump white house aide omarosa manigault newman is opening up about her 11 months in the west wing. she's now a contestant on cbs's "celebrity big brother" where everything is captured by camera. here is a look at the livestream that's up 24 hours a day. omarosa has been talking about life inside the president's inner circle. jan crawford is in washington with her emotional confession. good morning. >> good morning. omarosa introduced herself to the "big brother" audience. her performance this weekend was one for the books. >> i felt like it was a call to duty. i felt like i was serving my country, not serving him. >> reporter: a teary-eyed fellow brother that she was haunted by the president's tweets.
7:09 am
>> it's not my circus, not my monkeys. i'd like to say not my problem. but i can't say that because it's bad. >> and with the cameras rolling, she said americans should be worried. >> i need you to say, no, it's going to be okay. >> okay. >> it's not going to be okay. it's not. >> omarosa was fired three times on "the apprentice." this was the fourth time we let her go. >> a white house spokesman downplayed omarosa's role. >> she had limited contact with the president while here. she has no contact now. >> you're fired. >> reporter: omarosa's relationship with the president goes back to the first season of "the apprentice" in 2004. she became one of the most outspoken african-american supporters in his 2016 presidential campaign. >> mr. trump made a commitment to improving the conditions in the lives of african-americans in this country. >> reporter: she had resigned her position in the white house as public liaison.
7:10 am
the president offered his support. >> omarosa is a good person. >> reporter: omarosa wouldn't let that be the last word. >> would you vote for him again? >> god, no. >> she said back in december she had a story to tell. as for her reality career, she's done "apprentice" and now "big brother." her best might be "survivor." >> we have to say this. she's whispering. it's like now. th they know she's confessing to everyone. and she's confessing to ross. >> from one reality show to another. jan, thank you. the opening ceremony of the winter oh plijs is under way right now in south korea. athletes around the world are marching into pyeongchang
7:11 am
stadium with their flags. the united states is represented by 244 athletes. in a historic moment the sister of north korean leader kim jong-un shook hands with the prrt of south korea. ben tray iscy is in pyongyang. >> you have the president of the united states and the sister of north korean leader kim john un. she arrived in south korea today. she's the first member of north korea's ruling family to visit the south. now, earlier today vice president mike pence toured a south korean naval. he brought with him a fellow student of otd toe warmbier. he said the u.s. and south korea are united. but they're marching under a unified flag at the opening ceremony.
7:12 am
it shows the outline of the korean peninsula. a majority have opposed using the flag. there have been daily protested here and some people they've talked to are upset not seeing south korea's flag parading at the ceremony of its own olympics. but for the athletes it's about the games starting tomorrow, everything from ski jumping to speed skating. >> thank you. as the athletes prepared for the opening ceremony the chairman of the u.s. olympic committee apologized to larry nassar's victims. >> the olympic system in the united sates failed these women. we're part of that. >> more than 240 women say they were abused by the former gymnastics teacher. they called on scott blackman, the ceo of the u.s. olympic committee to resign after allegations he mishandled reports of larry nassar's abuse.
7:13 am
the committee chair defended him overnight. >> we think he did what he was supposed to do and did the right thing at every turn. >> two separate house committees will investigate the u.s. olympic committee's role. wall street opens this morning after the dow suffered its second worst point drop ever. it closed more than 1,000 points yesterday, the worst points drop in history. nearly 1200 points down on monday. that officially puts it in correction territory. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is at the table. you were at the evening table. you're at the morning tachblt so much to discuss. it's been two years duchlts that mean we're overdue? >> i think so. we have seen five or six corrections since 2009 since the bull market started. we're almost at the ninth anniversary. we usually see corrections every year, maybe every year and a half. so two years since the last one
7:14 am
is an awfully long stretch. i should also point out it's been a very tranquil period over the last couple of years. until this recent selling began, we've had little fluctuation, few down big days. i know it's jarring to see these point numbers up on the screen, but we have been due. >> what will it mean for the marketing investors? >> for the market, it's a breather, for investors, it's a pretty rotten week. we're in it for the long term. people like us who invest for retirement seem to be taking it in stride. it's the professional investor who's freaking out right now. >> why are they freaking out. we've learned to behave and not freak out. but there are. who are they and why are they doing it? >> many of them are hedge fund folks relying on mathematical models trying to create a lot of value for their investors. what they did is put a bet on
7:15 am
the table which is kind of fascinating. they said, we believe we'll remain tranquil going forward. all of a sudden the volatility explodes and they've got to unwind the trades really quickly. the volatility index, which actually hit a record low back in november popped up this past week of trading in a way that took them all by surprise. >> all right, jill. thank you so much. a powerful winter storm is snarling travel for millions of americans. heavy snowfall is creating a dangerous commute for thousand in the midwest. more than a thousand flights have been canceled. dean reynolds is in chicago where about a foot of snow is expected. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, we're here along chicago's north avenue beach, and i doubt anybody's going to go swimming today. the snow has been falling since about 6:00 p.m. last night, but it's been kind of a light snow, sort of a powdery snow, and the
7:16 am
accumulations have not been as great as predicted. though businesses and schools in the midwest have closed for the most part as the snow hits about ten states in the region. mayor emanuel says some people in the city should be prepared to be snowed in by this storm. now, forecasters called for a foot or more of snow, but they are now scaling that back to maybe 50% of their original prediction. and i think i can sfeek for all of us here when i say very few of us are disappointed. norah? >> well said, dean. thank you so much. the family of a hollywood executive who took her own life says she was collateral damage in the harvey weinstein scandal. 50-year-old jill messick died
7:17 am
wednesday. a memo appeared to support his claim that he did not rape mcgowan. >> good morning. messick's family said she suffered from bipolar disorder and the harsh media spotlight was devastating. they say the e-mail did not tell the whole story because messick was one of the first people to defend mcgough an some 20 years ago. >> i have been silenced for 20 years. >> reporter: actress rose mcgowan has been outspoken in not only accusing harvey weinstein of raping her in 1997 and also the enablers. >> didn't you tell your manager? >> yes, but she got a job with him right after that. >> reporter: she did not respond to mcgough an but after her death her family put out a statement disputing some of mcgowan's claims. according to messick, she did mention it in immediately in 1997 but never said she was
7:18 am
raped. they say messick relayed the story to her bosses who promised to handle it. >> the family says messick raised a lot of the concerns that rose mcgowan complained of to her superiors. >> reporter: weinstein's attorney recently released a moem explaining what she said mcgowan told her. mcgowan had gotten into a hot tub with mr. weinstein, something she did consensually and something in hindsight was something she regretted. it caused her reputation to be sullied despite having done nothing wrong. messick who suffered from depression took her own life thursday. according to her family, being in the headlines really impacted jill messick. she was someone who had been attacked for her role in this saga that she never chose to engage in. >> a lawyer for harvey weinstein has called rose mcgowan's claims

and let fans touch the trophy. here's the question. did he have that costume in his closet or did he tell the seamstress to start sewing. >> that was quite a costume. the $3 billion budget deal with a boost for health programs is heading to the president's desk. the agreement including $4 billion to include veteran's care, $2 billion for research at the national institutes of health and a ten-year extension of the children's health insurance program. shany davis was upset about losing a coin toss to carry the flag. he called it a dishonorable way to pick the flag bearer. yesterday the luger won the coin toss and cared the flag after the vote ended in a tie. it's always been the predetermined method of breaking

7:33 am
david begnaud got a look inside. he joins us from atlanta. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. here are the meals. they're small. but this will make a big meal for a person every day. it's chicken and rice, better than the chickens and vienna sausages. congressional members have sent out a letter saying fema is to blame for selecting a woman who had no real disaster experience prior to this. >> my biggest regret was that the people of puerto rico did not get the food. >> what was your biggest mistake? >> not asking for more help on this project. >> reporter: tiffany brown said she had the best of intentions when she told fema she could send 30 million meals to puerto rico even without any experience on a large-scale disaster. the agency approved her bid in just three days. >> this would have been probably the biggest thing you had ever done. >> yes. for most people, yes.
7:34 am
>> reporter: her plan was to send out self-heating meals to texas and atlanta who had just 11 employees. >> did you really think 11 people were going to do millions of meals? >> she told me she was experienced with this work and as time went on she would be able to hire additional people to scale up. >> reporter: the first 50,000 meals arrived in puerto rico late and separated from their heating bag. fema refused to distribute them and rejected more than 75,000 additional meals that were on the way. brown who describes herself as a diva, mogul, author, and ide idealist on twitter was paid $255,000. her company tribute contracting has had five prior government contracts all terminated. one agency said she was ineligible for any bids until january 2019. renowned chef has provided more than 3 million meals to victims
7:35 am
of puerto rico responded to say tiffany brown has nothing to do with the larger problem. the people at fema awarding this contract should be fired, he tweeted. >> we had a plan. we had it mapped out. >> reporter: kendra robinson is that atlantic caterer who said she's made about 70,000 meals that are just sitting in storage. >> who's to blame here? >> bad management of fema. it can't be a small business that did everything they could to be a part of the solution. >> reporter: tiffany brown says there's one more big thing. fema didn't want to pay her up front. they wanted to pay her down the road. that forced her to take a risk and find subcontractor who would be paid later. she's been paid $255,000 so far but she's appealing to fema for $70 million more. >> what does she want that $70 million more? >> she said she deserves it.
7:36 am
she'll never get the $156 million. she's got to pay out of pocket. she's got to pay the subcontractors. she's asking for $70 million. >> she didn't deliver though. that's a very interesting question and quite a bold request i i have to say. >> such a mess. >> thank you, david. >> great reporting, thank you. 168 russian athletes are competing under a neutral flag at the olympics this year. they're banned at the pyeonghang games because of large-scale doping scandal, so the competitors are formally titled olympic athletes. a doctor spoke with scott pelley for sunday's "60 minutes" to discuss how cheateding still plagues the games. he fled to the u.s. in 2016 with files on that program. >> do you believe the olympics can be ever be clean? >> you could believe, but, in fact, it's human nature.

colbert. we were all saying, she knows we can see and hear, right? i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and john dickerson. the white house says president trump will sign a bipartisan deal this morning ending the second government shutdown in just three weeks. the house passed the bill earlier this morning with support from both parties. nearly one third of republicans voted no. they say the gop is running up the same deficits it criticized former president barack obama for. earlier, protests from kentucky republican senator rand paul tried to slow it down. >> it keeps the government running through march 23rd. it also increases defense and domestic spending for two years and gives more money for the fight against opioid abuse. it does not include language on immigration that many democrats wanted squloo we have new information this morning about former presidential aide rob portder and when the white house knew about accusations he abused his two ex-wives.
8:03 am
the staff secretary resigned on wednesday. cbs news confirms that last january porter told white house counsel don mcgahn that a background check might find problems. in jeune the fbi sent a file to the office including claims by porter's ex-wives that he abused them. it's unclear who reviewed that information. >> in september porter told the white house the fbi interviewed him a second time. and then in november a former girlfriend called to tell him about the allegations. at that time he shared the information with chief of staff john kelly. there are so many questions here. time line to follow. the white house has a lot of questions to answer. bravo to the women for speaking up. it gives you a whole different perspective of what's going on. >> yeah. there were police reports, pictures, lots of allegations. >> lots of documentation. >> this is about the chief of staff who was brought in to bring order to the situation, and so now this is a test of his

8:05 am
the global growth is very strong. u.s. growth is strong. profits are strong. wages are up. but i think what investors are nervous about is interest rates might start going up and stock tips are the only game in town. if you put your money in bonds, you get nochlgt housing mortgages will be more expensive. so that's, i think, the fear. >> in washington this week there was another debate about spending. rand paul kept everybody there late last night talk about the debt and deficit. is there going to be any connection between that and the big numbers we're hearing and possible interest rates that go up that might hurt the economy? >> it could come down the road. so we could see pressure on the federal reserve not to raise interest rates because it's painful for the stockmarket. it's painful for the u.s. government. so far that's not what's going on here. let's face it. it's been sort of a circus in washington for a year and the stockmarket just goes up and up. so to say it's craziness in washington that's driving the

stockmarket down argues the case. i think it's a good news story but the fear that interest rates will go up and maybe stocks aren't the only stocks in town. >> you say it's a good news story but a lot of people are freaked out to use a technical term. what do investors need to know during this time? >> it's really hard around the stockmarket when it's going up. you're saying, i'm missing the boat, i should mortgage my house and i should put everything in. when it goes down, you say, oh, my gosh, i should pull everything out. if everyone knew the stockmarket was going down another 10%, it would drop like a rock today. but maybe it will go back up. so it's very hard advice to follow. but to try to stay calm, sure, look at your portfolio, but maybe not right now in the middle of the storm. >> you say the economy is good. corporate earnings is expected
8:07 am
to be anywhere between 8% and 10%. all of that is great. what about -- this is following on john's questions. the government will have to borough a trillion dollars. who's going to buy that debt? what countries? >> for a moment, everyone wants to buy the u.s. debt. the dollar's in a way it hasn't been since the 1950s. that could turn. if global interest rates go up and we don't know why they've come so low, it will get painful. politicians will have to do stuff. they don't seem very good at that. so it could go wrong, but it's probably not something that's happening overnight. >> all right. thank you, ken. >> thank you. >> you're so calm and steady. i'd like to know when you start freaking out, ken. >> i'll holler. >> thank you very much. symbolic handshake between south korea's president and the sister of north korean leader's sister made history. she's part of the north korean delegation and first member of the north's ruling family to visit the south. >> earlier vice president mike pence met with defectors from
