? good morning. it is monday, august 22nd, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning.? there's more real news ahead, including the long path donald trump took before he became the republican nominee, including about whether he has friend. the journalist behind the new book show us what they found. first, here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. the seeds that were planned when trump's arrival accused him describing mass deportation as an opening bid on. >> they are reserving 80 million dollars worth of tv advertising time this fall. >> students are arriving here in

what we can tell, most of them are wearing long pants and exactly what the holt official suggested. >> it is ruins from the floodwaters tossed on this entire street and this entire city block is lined with them. >> at least 22 of the victims were children. this is just the latest of a spate of sued bombings here in turkey. >> it's like he is insane. >> he is just acting like a 12-year-old. >> those people tell me that it is absolutely winnable, it is up to what donald trump says. >> the team usa medal haul has been very impressive, especially the american women. they are taking medals. four years ago, he designed his own shoes and described the process like this. >> these are my shoes. from the top to the very sole, to the very top to the bottom, laces. >> he couldn't remember all of the parts of the shoe! and i was standing next to hundreds of shoes!

nutella. >> i'm norah o'donnell with anthony mason and kevin frazier. charlie and gayle are off. together? who knows. i hope you guys are having fun. new signs that donald trump's immigration policy may be more flexible than he says in public. trump met privately on saturday with his new council of hispanic advisers. he reportedly gave them the impression that mass deportations are unrealistic. >> that would be shift in one of trump's signature policies. he has been talking about it for more than a year. >> 11, 12 million illegal immigrants. >> whatever the number is. >> still in the country. what do you do? >> if they are doing well, they are going on and coming back in illegally. >> you're rounding them up? >> we are rounding them up in a very humane way. i know it doesn't sound nice, but not everything is nice. someone has to do it. >> it's practical? >> it is practical.

force and do it humanly. we have 11 million people in this country came in illegally and they will go out. >> back in january you gave off-the-record interview to "the new york times" and apparently audiotaped. did you tell them specifically you are flexible when it comes to your deportation plan? >> in terms of immigration and almost anything else, there always has to be some untug and pull and deal. now, sometimes you ask for more than you want and you negotiate down to the point. i like that with "the new york times" but i would never release off-the-record conversations. i don't think it's fair, frankly, to do that to anybody. >> trump's campaign said, quote, mr. trump said nothing that he hasn't said many times before. his new campaign manager was asked yesterday about trump's plan for undocumented immigrants. >> will that plan include a deportation force, the kind that he just -- you just heard in that sound bite and that he talked about during the republican primaries?

speech on immigration later this week. >> with us this morning for a new look at donald trump's life, "the washington post" with reporter michael kranish and marc fisher. the author of the book that compiles the work of more than two dozen "the washington post" reporters and fact checkers and editors. together, they examined trump's childhood and his beginnings in real estate and the international expansion of his branded pi trump revealed is published by simon and shuster, a division of cbs. you spoke with mr. trump and interviewed him, right? >> yes. we spent, as a group, more than 20 hours with him. he was extremely generous and gracious with his time, despite his bluster against the media and "the washington post." he was quite forthcoming. >> you go all the way back to his childhood to help reveal

he hasn't changed since second grade. keep that in mind as you hear about some of the things that he did, such as throwing rocks at a toddler in the yard right across from his own home, pulling the pigtails of one of his classmates, getting into a physical altercation with a teacher that led to his father removing him from school and sending him off to a military boarding school. >> in one of your interviews he admits he gave his music teacher a blank black eye? >> it's p exaggerated but the got into an altercation there and says he was a rambunctious kind of a kit. people around him saw him as rough, really. >> the relationship with his father who was a very successful developer in new york, particularly in queens and staten island. trump, ultimately, took that

relationship and that shift and what it seems to have symbolized? >> i left brooklyn and queens and came to manhattan. his father never be a nothing in life. he had an own it's on his shoulder he would be great at something and put his names on buildings and exactly what he did. however, his father told him don't go deeply into debt. donald trump said he is the king of debt so he did not follow his father's advice on that. in fact, his father had to bail him out numer t him or loan him money. >> when he moved into manhattan, that also was a turning point in some ways because he was then sued by the justice department, correct? >> that's right. the justice department sued donald trump and his father by name for not renting to blacks at their properties in queens and brooklyn. this was one of the largest racial bias cases of its time. donald trump had to decide whether to fight this case or to settle. one night, he was in a nightclub in maents and he walks in there

named roy cone there who was the lawyer for joseph mccarthy. they got to talking and roy cone said don't settle this case, fight like hell against the government and when they hit you, hit back ten times harder. trump decided to that and he did have to settle the case but he kept that philosophy today hitting back and hitting back ten times harder. >> what is donald trump's reaction to this book now? repeatedly he wanted a true, accurate fair book which was exactly our intent but warned us again and again he would sue us and he has sued people in the past when they have written about him and what tends to trigger his lawsuits is anyone who questions just how rich he really is. so he gives all kinds of numbers about how rich he is. $10 billion, $12 billion. >> what do you think the real number is? >> we don't know the exact number but good reason to believe it's considerably less

he essentially makes it up. what he does he takes the actual value that any accountant would attach to his properties and he adds -- he multiplies that by what he feels in a given day. and so he says, look. my name has value. that's true. his name does have value but he then attaches a number. he says, you know, my name is worth $200 million on this project. or $400 million on that project. he inflates the value. >> you do so much extensive reporting in about how your private life can reveal your public persona. what did he tell you about that? did talk about who is his best friend? >> you know, i asked him about friendships because it's so important when with you think about a president and his character. in donald trump's case, i was stunned when ed, you know what? i don't really have friend in the way that most people do. if you think about friends somebody you go out to dinner with, he said i don't have that. it was a rare, quiet moment he

finally, he said it's my kids. if i got in trouble the people i go to help to is my kids. >> you say he changed political parties seven times and his practice of politics was transactional and not ideology cal. what is his ideology? >> he said last week i don't want to pivot because people need to see who i am. he s pivot. he has changed parties and been a republican and a democrat, another party candidate and then again a republican and changed positions on many issues. on immigration when he talked about recently, he had said that romney's plan to self-deport was crazy and he criticized romney for losing the hispanic vote. now he has talked about forcing deportation and then yesterday, talk about he is going back to something that mitt romney had

out. >> one last quick question. what does he read? >> nothing much, really. i asked him about, you know, are you preparing to be president by reading biographies of the great presidents? he said i always wanted to read a biography of a president and never had the time. when you go into it, it turns out he doesn't read books really at all which is rather unique in the history of american presidential candidates. >> marc fisher and michael their book goes on sale tomorrow. boston says no to olympics but the l.a. is ready to play. ben tracy has that report coming

announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by nutella. spread the happy! every day is a cruise for an 88-year-old retiree.

hope they will benefit the olympics in return. >> reporter: but the competition is stiff. los angeles is up against paris, rome, and budapest. paris is a favorite as 2024 could be 100 years since it last hosted the games. >> professor christopher gaffney has studied the impact of olympics on host cities. he says most games make millions for the international olympic committee, but leave their hosts bill o empty and rotting olympic venues. the mayor of los angeles says l.a. would be great because the venues already exist. this is going to be a profitable olympics. do you buy that? >> no, i don't buy any of it. it's just marketing. >> reporter: so you don't actually think americans should want to see the olympics back on american soil? >> absolutely not. the olympic model is dead. >> reporter: in the past decade the olympics have cost an average 8.9 billion dollars with

>> this is a movement that needs america, but i think america needs the olympics too. >> reporter: now if l.a. were to get the games, it would become only the second city in history to host the olympics three times. london has already done that. we are not going to know who gets the it is made next november. >> let's hope it comes to l. >> >> l.a. is ready. they are ready. >> the team that tags sharks makes history again. up next, great white babies have humans watching over them. we will explain. you're watching "cbs this morning." come on... dogs just won't quit. neither does new frontline gold. its triple action formula is relentless at killing

to other countries. you know, we have slipped down. and the quality of education here in america is starting to fade a little bit. and we need to do something about that, because, you know, knowledge is power and the power that we have in our educational system really has made it possible for us to take leadership in the world. >> you went to school down the street here. >> four blocks. >> four blocks. power memorial. you studied history at ucla and you said that if you didn't play have been a history teacher? you talk about history in this book a lot. how important is history to just educating ourselves in this? >> history is very crucial. as george satire said people who don't understand history are condemned to repeat it. history is always the best tool to understanding mistakes that we have made in the past and to avoid them going forward. so we need to pay attention to what has happened here in our country and why and make sure

very tragic misstep for our country. >> you also said that you could have become a journalist and how your journalistic career started out. you tell a beautiful story in the book about going to interview dr. king. >> yeah. i took a part in a mentoring program in harlem between my junior and senior year in high school, and it really changed my life. it enabled me to understand why it was -- why harlem was such an important community for bla americans and also identified a lot of the things that needed to change in many of the black communities in america at that time. so it really -- it changed my life and it made it possible for me to understand what i wanted to do with my life and i'm still on that path. >> did you watch the olympics? >> i've watched some of it, yeah. it was very interesting. and, you know, when i was a kid, we used to have races all the

should be away w aware of becau a reality. >> who is the greatest basketball player playing right now? >> that's tough. probably lebron. that is no-brainer. a lot of good guys playing in the game. steven occstephen curry has his following and it's a tough question. >> peter greenberg, ahead, cruising through life. >> there is nothing not to love living on a ship. >> we are jealous, by the way. i want you to know we are jealous. >> i want you to know, i've heard that many times. >> up next.
