8:06 am
you said, maximum winds at 200 miles per hour, gusts up to 245. the most amazing thing is how quickly it exploded going from a tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane in just 30 hours. amazing. we continue to watch it as it loses its hurricane status quickly. but it's tracking up towards texas. parts of texas have seen five to ten inches of rain since thursday morning. this will add more rain to the picture. this morning, parts of texas are being flooded and seeing flooding rains here. we have flash flood warnings that are up in the red area here. flash flood watches are up throughout texas and over louisiana as well as the rain continues to move to the east. louisiana will see its share of flooding, mostly on sunday. southwest. the best thing we can tell you for texas, oklahoma, arkansas, louisiana, you will see heavy rain, flash flooding and if you

the rain is causing plenty of accidents. a section of interstate 35 was temporarily closed after this 18 wheeler hit a median and overturned. now the governor has act rate issed the state's emergency -- activated the state's emergency operation center because we are expecting more rain in the morning. >> thank you, omar. first, jeb bush has made what could be a momentous decision, cutting back sharply on his campaign. despite months building a huge and expensive campaign organization, bush has made little headway against unorthodox republican candidates like donald trump and ben carson. so he's slashing costs, reducing staff and ordering across the board pay cuts for those who remain. donald trump continues to confound his opponents this time rejecting what he calls dark money from super pacs. he told them to stop raising money in his name and he says he'll return any super pac
8:09 am
donations already received. he challenged others in the race, republicans and democrats, juliana goldman has more on good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, the crux of donald trump's appeal is that he's an outsider who doesn't need money from rich donors to give to super pacs. these are the groups that can accept unlimited donations and now he's taking the extra step of distancing himself and asking any pro trump super pac to stand questions about whether or not he gave one group his blessing months ago. >> they have these things called super pacs. nobodies what they are or what they mean. >> reporter: railing against super pacs and the candidates who have them are regular attack lines in donald trump's stump speeches. >> they want to take the people like little puppets and say, you do as i tell you because i gave you $5 million. >> reporter: he made those
8:10 am
from a "washington post" article and whether one of the groups based in denver the make america great pac was operating with trump's approval. people familiar with the campaign's initial planning tells cbs news before trump was an official candidate, his team discussed whether to sanction a dedicated super pac and to call it make america great again. a phrase trump has trademarked. one republican operative tweeted that she had been invited to meet with the campaign in june ahead of his announcement. she said in the meetings she was told the campaign was planning to have an allied super pac. then over the summer trump's daughters in laws gave $100,000 to the group. they hosted a meet and greet at their house and some gave money to the super pac. more connections were unveiled in another article by "the washington post" which published an e-mail obtained by cbs news showing that in early september the consultant running the denver based super pac sent a
8:11 am
their e-mail from rona, trump's long term secretary. letters were sent to nine super pacs backing trump including the make america great pac saying your organization is not authorized to use mr. trump's name and likeness in connection with the fund-raising activities and we are formally disavowing such activities. by thursday night, the group's director said it would be winding down. saying mr. trump says he doesn't have a super pac. to erase any doubt i'm closing the super pac and trump insists that every candidate should follow his lead. >> all candidates disavow your super pacs. run for office and be proud. drop them. >> reporter: the trump campaign hasn't responded to repeated whether he sanctioned the make america great again super pac.
8:12 am
his extended family giving it money. and why he would even let it exist using his signature slogan from july to this point. anthony, the super pac also had an affiliated nonprofit which doesn't have to disclose the donors and that's shutting down as well. >> all right. juliana goldman, thanks. as for the democrats this morning, hillary clinton faces a dwindling field of rivals for the nomination like former senator jim webb earlier this week, lincoln chafee has withdrawn from the presidential race. he made the announcement on friday at a woman's forum sponsored by the democratic national committee. >> now, as you may know i'm campaigning on prosperity through peace. but i'm deciding to end my run for the president today. >> he was far back in the polls. so this ere's plenty to talk about in the race for the white house. joining us is lauren fox.
8:13 am
>> thank you having me. >> let's start with where juliana left off. this is a first time in a long time that donald trump hasn't had the lead for consecutive weeks. do you think that's why he's doing that? >> i think he's trying to reassert he's the outsider candidate. we are seeing carson rising in some polls in iowa and what he's concerned about he might be starting to lose that appeal that he had on the campaign trail. so what is the best way to disavow that, well, i won't take this extra campaign cash that all the other campaigns are. i think that's what donald trump is trying to do here. >> you mentioned ben carson who is now the front-runner in iowa but at the same time, he's stepping off the campaign trail for a book tour. which seems like a pretty unconventional move at this point. >> it does. it reveals what's so different about the republican side as the democratic side. as the democratic side is rallying around hillary clinton and starting to see her as the
8:14 am
inevitable possible nominee, on the republican side the candidates are still working their way through this. you know, when you have someone like ben carson stepping off the campaign trail it raises questions of whether he wants the job in the white house. >> a lot of people are saying the difference is do you care about social issues or do you care about the economy, do you find that is what is polarizing voters when it comes to the two of them? >> i think we're starting to see the republicans are just so hungry for an outsider candidate. why we're seeing that, first, they asked voters, the house of representatives, we need that and then we need the senate to do what we need to do and they got it. so now voters are careful before they give the republicans the white house. as to who they're putting there, i think that's why they're sort of attracted to the donald trumps and the ben carsons of the race. meanwhile, marco rubio is starting to make a rise in the polls as well. >> and jeb bush had to make significant spending cuts in his campaign. how much trouble is he in? >> i think this is partly a precautionary measure.
8:15 am
one of the criticisms that scott walker got, he didn't tighten his belt soon enough and he it had to drop out. i think bush has struggled to gain traction. again this is all about how connected you are to washington. connected. the perception being that others are less so. >> let me follow up on that. this was a candidate who going in was -- he was perceived almost as inevitable because of all the money he's raised and now he has troubles with money. >> i think it's starting to reveal that early fund-raising is wonderful, but you have to prove to donors that you're making progress and i think that's part of the concern. >> what is your take after the 11 hours that we watched -- i mean, she was so tired of answering questions. 52% of registered voters said that -- no, they don't believe she has been honest, rather. what is your take away after that. how does it affect her? >> she showed she was very
8:16 am
measured and very calm. she had one moment of levity around 7:15, but i think what we saw, she came across unscathed. after the hearing, members of the media were asking from this hearing? a lot were saying, well, we didn't learn a lot. but this is important to bring her in. i think that's revealing. but maybe republicans didn't learn a lot is sort of a grilling exercise that maybach backfire for a little bit. >> is she out of theed woos for this? >> i think for the public at large, they'll give her a second look as they make up their minds. >> thank you. tomorrow morning on "face the nation," there will be adam schiff and devin nuns and new jersey governor chris christie. then tomorrow night on "60 minutes" in his first interview

8:37 am
hose time for morning rounds with cbs chief news correspondent and cbs chief news contributor. first off for more than a decade the american cancer society is waiting most women wait until age 45 to get a mammogram. in age 55 they can start getting a mammogram every two years. what is behind the changes. >> breast cancers screening guidelines have long been controversial because the four or five main groups that weigh in have never really reached an sense. this was striking because this was the american cancer society.
8:38 am
and they tend to be more aggressive with guidelines in terms of screening earlier and more frequently. but as you said they just slid back the age at which women who are at average risk of breast cancers. not heightened risk but average. the age they should have their first mammogram. 40, 45. and then every two years after 55. . it does represent a significant shift. the idea is that if you screen base on the guidelines you are going to catch women who are going to benefit the most and have the least downside from the tests. >> what is behind the change? did something happen? >> this is a literature review on the latest data that is out there. and let's be clear about one thing. let's not be confusing. mammography saves lives. if you are at average risk there is a 2% chance you are going to
8:39 am
if you do screening at 50 that goes down. if you're more aggressive and start at 45 every year that goes down to 1.8 to 1.9% chance. so it goes down a little bit more. the bottom line is if you are more aggressive, say, start at 40, you are going to pick up more breast cancers. you are also going to pick up more false positives and unnecessary testing and biopsies and the unnecessary worry so you have to balance the risks and benefits. >> doctors no longer need to perform these exams too. what is that change about is this. >> a clinical exam is when a doctor feels your breasts for lumps. previously had been recommended for all women ages 19 and up yearly. and according to this report there wasn't enough evidence to show that it significantly detected cancers and the benefits outweighed the risks of unnecessary testing.
8:40 am
i will say this one is particularly hard for me to get my mind around. i have to say every physical that i do, virtually every physical that i do on all of my female patients i do a clinical breast exam. i'm not sure i'm ready to make that change. or that it is going to be beneficial. >> -- if holly is saying this is something actually really believes? >> in terms of the breast exam i think this is going to be some argument. not only in terms of the doctor doing it. in terms of the patient doing it. what are the pros and cons. you can pick it up earlier and then have false positives. in terms of what is a woman or a doctor supposed to do? so much of a personal choice. they specifically say talk to your doctor about it. i do colonoscopies in people and there are specific guidelines. i've found colon cancer in someone in their twenties.
8:41 am
so it's a risk/benefit thing. >> mothers should avoid all forms of alcohol during pregnancy. it says no amount should be considered safe and adds all forms such as beer, wine and liquor pose similar risk. this goes against other research that found small amounts of alcohol may be harmless. what you would hear was later on you might be able to have a class. what's changed? >> really they are just reiterating their position they have held for the last 30 years, which is that no amount of alcohol is safe for women at any point in pregnancy. i think they are putting this out there because there are reports that show 10% still
8:42 am
that's one or more. and we are seeing results from people drinking. >> it is such an important guideline for women to have highlighted too. next up the man at the center former new york city mayor michael blum oomburg --. john asked doctor farley about his time in office and what he considers his biggest success, the decline of smoking rates in the big apple. rates? >> well there were several pieces. first was raising the prices significant. >> significantly. >> costs about $12. cigarettes. then a smoke free air rule. >> big political fight. >> people said no one would ever go to a bar again. we wouldn't even have tourists
8:43 am
>> any of that happen? >> no. as a matter of fact just the opposite happened. the european tourists saw it was nice and the idea spread to europe and now most of europe is smoke free. >> -- took a lot of heat for saying gun violence was is public health problem. what do you think about that is this. >> gun violence is absolutely the public health problem. it is not just gun homicides. it is also gun suicides. in new york city the gun suicide rate is one tenth the national average. >> why? >> because we have so many iffer guns in new york city than the rest of the country. >> when there is a mass shooting you hear two things. gun control and people also saying well you need better mental health services and preventions so people when they do have some psychological is it both? either is this. >> we absolutely need better mental health services in the country but it is not going to be able to reduce the gun events we're talking about.
8:44 am
the difference is whether a gun is available. and the evidence is very clear. the more dpuns you have, the mur more gun related violence. more guns is not the solution to the problem. the solution is fewer guns. particularly fewer guns in the hands of people that are likely to use them. >> you can see more of that interview on our website. the book "saving gotham" is on book shelves right now. >> unusual candidate. he's not in office right. he's really speaking his mind. >> up next, a statewide bear hunt in florida. the first time the state's sanctioned hunting bear in decades. a wide spread protest couldn't stop it.

if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. r get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto ... ...was the right move for us. pask your doctor about xarelto . working on my feet all day gave me pain here. in my knees. but now, i step on this machine and get my number which matches my dr. scholl's custom fit orthotic inserts. now i get immediate relief from my foot pain. my knee pain.
