7:34 am
congressional report. chip reid's at the white house where the president is getting ready for a visit to saudi arabia. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. saudi arabia is a key u.s. ally and has threatened to retaliate financially if that bill becomes law. the obama administration opposes the bill, and that has made some 9/11 families very angry. >> i'm completely outraged. >> reporter: lori van auken is convinced the 9/11 hijackers were helped by saudi agents. her husband, kenneth, worked on the 105th floor of the world trade center's north tower. for years she and other 9/11 families have tried to hold the saudi government accountable in federal court, but because foreign governments are immune from suits in the u.s., their efforts have so far failed. > if someone you loved was murdered and the person was just able to go away scot-free, would you be okay with that? i don't think anybody would. >> reporter: congress is now considering a bill to permit
7:35 am
contribute material support or resources for acts of terrorism. the obama administration says the proposed legislation could lead to retaliation overseas. saudi arabia has already warned it will dump hundreds of billions of dollars in u.s. assets if the bill becomes law. >> it feels like blackmail. the government, the president is siding with saudi arabia over the 9/11 families. >> known as the "28 pages." >> reporter: on sunday's "60 minutes," steve croft reported on a classified portion of the 9/11 report kept locked away in a secret vault. this is your snofs former government officials say the 28 heavy redacted poij con eded -- redacted pages contain information on the hijackers while in the u.s. >> i think it is implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom spoke english, most of whom had never been in the united states before, many of whom who didn't have a high school
7:36 am
carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the united states. i think the 28 pages are a key part. >> reporter: van auken wants the pages released to the public. >> it's hard to have a case when you can't see your own evidence. >> reporter: president obama leaves for saudi arabia tomorrow, and it's very possible this issue will come up in his discussions with the saudi king. the embassy of saudi arabia did not respond to "cbs this morning's" request for comment, but last week it said, "the 9/11 commission confirmed that there is no evidence that the government of saudi arabia supported or funded al qaeda." charlie? >> chip, thanks. this morning, one of america's oldest cold cases is reopened again. a retired police officer was convicted of murder in illinois more than half a century after the crime. jack mccolla was released on friday after a prosecutor found he could haven't done it. mccollough says he will sue the

7:38 am

7:39 am
do and convicted of what you didn't? >> that could be. >> reporter: is that what happened? >> don't know. i may have been a sinner, but i'm not a murderer. >> reporter: mccollough hasn't been exonerated, but his conviction has been overturned which means that he could technically be retried for the murder, although that does seem unlikely. and -- >> why does he have an alibi at the trial -- >> it was documented in fbi reports. but most of the agents who wrote the reports were dead or couldn't testify. they were too old. and so the judge deemed it hearsay and wouldn't allowed it admitted at trial. that's what got him out now. >> interesting. thank you. >> thank you very much, erin. >> thanks. the national movement to put women on paper money could get an answer this week. coming up next, we'll look at where it may leave america's hippest founding father, who do you think that is?

enough is enough. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message. the treasury department is getting ready to finally announce its overhaul of some of our currency. the agency began hinting last summer it would add a female face to the $10 bill. now sources tell "cbs this morning" that it might end up on the $20 bill instead. the official word may come this week. julianna goldman is at the treasury building in washington with what could happen. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. treasury originally planned to announce which women would be on the $10 bill by the end of last year. but it turned out to be more controversial than they expected. millions of people weighed in, and now that redesign is getting a redesign of its own. >> it's time for women to be on

>> reporter: last june when the treasury secretary announced a woman would be joining alexander hamilton on the newly redesigned $10 bill, he couldn't have predicted a broadway musical would complicate his plans. >> reporter: the smashing success of "hamilton" brought newfound fans of the founding father rallying around the first treasury secretary-turned-pop icon. and now people familiar with the process tell cbs news that he will expecting hamilton to remain on the note and women in history will be on the back. >> alexander hamilton's one of my heroes. he's not leaving our money. >> reporter: that's not all. he's expected to announce a woman who will eventually be on the front of the $20 bill, replacing andrew jackson. what some might consider far more prestigious placement that he hinted at last month in an interview with charlie rose. >> we're going to put a woman on the face of our currency. this is not just about the $10 bill.
7:46 am
tripoli wasn't just the musical that -- >> reporter: it wasn't just the musical that derailed the plan. it was negative input from social media and women on 20s who wrote an open letter saying, "relegating women to the back of the bill is akin to sending them to the back of the bus. the rosa parks analogies are inevitable." this is one of many faces for consideration on the currency. other possibilities include the african-american abolitionist harriet tubman, and former first lady, eleanor roosevelt. while any decision is bound to be controversial, one person who says they'll be pleased. hamilton creator lehman will miranda-year-old said, "you're going to be very happy." while the announcement is expected this week, treasury officials would not comment for the story. because of the intricacies in the currency redesign process,

sanders. the vermont sanders is drawing huge crowds ahead of the primary. sanders on how he plans to grab a surprise win tomorrow. first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. 60 high-water rescues and counting. some parts have received more than 16 inch of rain. the earthquake was enough to bring down this bridge. people are using their bare hands to pull neighbors from the rubble. donald trump ntsb toeeds to reset his campaign. he will have a chance after a string of delegate losses to ted cruz. now they're back fighting for votes in the state where they both have deep roots. an accident that never should have happened because there's strict rules about flying drones around airports. this is where it will begin for the runners. for law enforcement, the race to secure this event began last year. the obama administration opposes the bill, and that has made some 9/11 families very
8:02 am
turned out to be more kfrl than they expected -- controversial than they expected. now the redesign is getting a redesign of its own. donald trump has received the endorsement of "the new york observer," published by his son-in-law. ted cruz failed to get the endorsement of his family's christmas newsletter. [ laughter ] i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. severe weather stretching from the dakotas to texas. dramatic video shows a series of lightning strikes overnight outside of houston. thunderstorms are rocking texas. >> torrential rain and flooding led to more than a dozen high-water rescues in houston overnight. the city has activated its emergency operations center. schools across the city are closed. >> tomorrow's new york primary

delegates, 247 democrats, and 95 republicans. every one counts especially for gop candidates facing a possible contested convention. donald trump leads nationwide, but ted cruz is still outmaneuvering him. cruz swept all 14 of wyoming's delegates at this weekend's state convention. trump says he knows the delegate rules but ignores them because he wants to reform the system. >> it newest poll shows hillary clinton leads by ten points in new york. bernie sanders drew a huge crowd yesterday in brooklyn. event organizers say more than 28,000 people came to hear the brooklyn-born senator rail against big money in politics. >> and supporters in california protested clinton fundraiser hosted by george clooney. tickets started at $33,000 a person. protesters threw fake cash at clinton's motorcade. clooney says most of the money raised will go to congressional candidates. >> i'm a democrat. so if you're a republican, you're going to disagree, but we
8:04 am
because we need to confirm a supreme court justice. because that fifth vote on the supreme court can overturn citizens united and get this obscene, ridiculous amount of money out so i never have to do a fundraiser again. >> clooney says he think the clinton campaign hasn't done a good job of explaining its fund-raising. vermont senator bernie sanders joins us. we're pleased to have him back at studio 57. welcome. >> good to be with you. >> you saw what george clooney says. he's trying to raise money to help hillary clinton because he wants to see a lot of democrats elected because they'll change campaign finance laws. >> well, i'm a big fan of george, but i think there is a different way to do it. that's what our campaign is about. you can raise large sums of money from individual contributors. we get it, $27 apiece, seven million individual campaign contributors. you don't have to be dependent upon big money to run a winning campaign. of course we want more democrats in the senate.
8:05 am
senate, do better in the house. but again, you can do that without being dependent on the top 1% for your contributions. >> i think the question is, you're an independent running on the democratic party ticket. are you going to help other democrats raise money to win the united states senate? have you done that? >> absolutely, of course i have. if you look at the letters that i have sent out in support of other united states senators, i've raised many millions of dollars. let me tell you something else, and i say this very sincerely. and i think the polls indicate this. for democrats to do well, not only at the highest level but in the senate races and in the house races, we need a large voter turnout. i think there's very little doubt that a bernie sanders winning the nomination and being the democratic candidate will in fact create the kind of excitement and large voter turnout not only to win the white house but to regain control of the senate, to win governors chairs all over the country. >> a big day in new york. polls are showing hillary
8:06 am
what do you see in the polls that the rest of us don't, that you feel confident? >> we've won eight out of the last nine primaries and caucuses. i think we have a lot of energy as indicated by the 28,000 people coming out of the rally in brooklyn and other very large rallies we've had. if the voter turnout is high, i think we are going to do very well. that's been the story of this campaign. voter turnout, well, we will probably not do well. also, very often polling underestimates our strength. that's -- in michigan, a poll had us 20 points behind. the day before the election, we ended up winning. >> independent voters can't vote -- >> now you're on to a big issue. nothing much i can do. it's bad new york state election law. what it says to the many hundreds of thousands or more independents who would like to vote tomorrow for me or for anybody, they can't participate. i think that that's wrong, and that does hurt us. we win independent voters -- >> you also know this, she's way ahead in superdelegate. donald trump says the republican system is fixed. >> rigged -- >> what?
8:07 am
>> is he stealing my terminology here? nothing this guy won't do. >> how bad is the democratic system? >> i have serious problems with it. this is the establishment folks. these are elected officials, these are money people who are superdelegates. and the truth is most of them are now supporting hillary. but let me say this -- as you may know, in poll after poll including your own polls here at cbs, i run much longer against donald trump than does hillary clinton. and the reason for that, by the way, is we had a lot of independent voters. i think as this campaign proceeds and we do well, superdelegates and others will say, you know, we've got to beat trump. bernie is the stronger candidate. >> what if in fact you're winning the contests, the last six or seven, but she's getting a significant number of the delegates? the delegates will nominate the candidate. >> right. we think that there is a path toward victory. >> which is? >> winning delegates. in other words, california --
8:08 am
>> by getting more delegates than she. does for example, we have won eight -- >> you haven't been doing that is the point. >> i would say that we have cut her lead by one-third in the last month. that's pretty good. that's what happens when you win eight out of nine caucuses and primaries. we'll see what happens tomorrow. i won't speculate. you've got california, you've got oregon, you've got pennsylvania -- >> what does it mean if you lose in new york? >> what does it mean if i lose? it means that i lose. >> what does it mean for your campaign? >> we're going all the way. we're going all the way through california, going into the convention in philadelphia. we think we have a path toward victory. and we're going to fight for every vote that's out there. >> senator, you've made an issue abut transparency. hillary clinton -- today is tax day. we're paying our taxes. hillary clinton has released the eight years in addition to ones before. that you only released one and did it on friday. >> yeah. >> hy haven't you done that? >> i will tell you the reason. it sounds too simple, but it's true.
8:09 am
my wife works -- >> you have to pay your taxes on time like the rest of us. not that hard to release your summary -- >> first of all, we have released our taxes -- >> one year. >> we will release -- i've said we will release more, and we will release more. what it will end up showing is that our total income is less than the amount of money that hillary clinton got for one speech. sorry, nothing very exciting. >> i was surprised -- >> what is the suspicion? >> people who don't release their taxes -- >> we are going to release our taxes, so let's end the suspicion. it's the question, we are occupied with the campaign right now. we will. i said we will, and we will. >> you're starting a political revolution. what scares a lot of people. what does that mean? and the other thing i hear about you, no disrespect intended, but he's an older candidate. how is he going to make this work? the only people i hear saying that, by the way, are older people. young people are not saying that -- >> the reporters -- the reporter who are following me around on the campaign trail -- >> no --
8:10 am
you're going too far, too fast! >> your wife when she joined you last time -- i miss her today -- she said he has the constitution of a 16-year-old. how do you address issue about you, the political revolution, the old guy on the campaign? >> political revolution is very important part of what this campaign is about. and this is what it means -- it means that given the nature of economics and politics in america today, where wall street and wealthy campaign contributors in the corporate media have so much way that the only way to transform america, we deal with paid family and meal leave, we deal with income inequality, no president, not bernie sanders or anybody else, can do it alone. you need millions to stand up and demand a government that represent all of us, not just the 1%. that's what i mean by that. >> okay. >> here's an issue that means a lot. a new york tabloid, "the daily news." it is about 9/11. the bill in congress about suing saudi arabia. you favor?
8:11 am
>> so -- >> no, no, been suing saudi arabia. >> sorry. >> it is about suing any government, not just saudi arabia, that may have been involved in terrorism which kills americans. >> you support it. president obama says don't do it because it will open us up to a lot of suits. and the saudi government has threatened to sell a lot of their things they're holding. >> president obama has a valid point, and it concern me. what's also involved is, i believe, 28 pages of classified information on 9/11. >> have you read them? >> no, i have not. and what i think there is some speculation, and i'm not into speculation, is it may indicate that part of the saudi family may have funded some of the terrorists. look, let's be honest about saudi arabia. this is one of the wealthiest
8:12 am
this is a family that spreads this virulent extremist ideology which is extreme islam. they set up schools all over the world teach this. i have real concerns about that. i think getting the truth out about the role saudi arabia may be playing is good -- >> the president can release -- >> yes, he can -- >> the 28 pages. >> they radio r-- they are looking at releasing them, i think they should. >> did you watch "saturday night live"? you were on it again. >> i was busy running around out there. >> do you enjoy the imitation as much as we do? >> larry david is a brilliant guy. he acts more like me than i do. >> as a member of the united states senate, you are allowed to read the 28 pages. will you read them? >> will i go read -- >> do you think you should know about them if you're running to be commander in chief? >>y yeah. the difficulty is if you read them, you're going to ask me, you'll say, you read them, what's in them. and i have to tell you honestly,

8:35 am
call it a quirk, a trend, or an epidemic. vocal fry is everywhere. i'm faith saley, and i approved this message. >> vocal fry. she's at the top of her game on tv. she also has a new book called "approval junkie," adventures in caring to much. she reveals that developing confidence without seeking approval from others was an uphill battle for her. hello, faith saily. >> do i look okay? >> i thought this was interesting because you said everybody cares what people think. even when they say they don't, they really do. and there's a difference between being a people pleaser or a perfectionist. >> yeah. >> when you talk about approval junkie. >> yeah, there's a big spectrum. there's sally field who's so honest and raw and right now you like me, right. so moving. then you have the kanye wests who love to tweet that they don't care what people think. then they tweet back at all of their critics. i think the people who proclaim
8:36 am
are not being honest with themselves. >> approval junkie means what to you? >> someone who is vulnerable and human enough to admit the smack of a high five feels really good. applause feels good. laughter sounds good. i don't think it's a perfectionist, right. a perfectionist won't try for fear of falling short. an approval junkie tries and falls and takes a bow. and i don't think an approval junkie is a people pleaser because, you know, if we try to please everybody, you're sort of doomed to mediocrity. i think a real approval junkie is somebody who embraces the root of the word and continue -- relentlessly tries to prove things to herself or himself. >> has it served with you? >> it has in the long run, charlie. i think that this book is about my relationship with approval which has evolved. and i think that i had to learn to seek approval for the right things, for most fulfilling things, from the right people.

8:38 am
your daughter about the pitfalls of being an approval junkie. >> about the pitfalls. i think -- certainly in this day and age especially with young women, you can fall down a social media rabbit hole. my daughter is 1 and does not yet have an instagram account. but -- >> i hope not. >> i think that you can wantonly try to accumulate everybody's likes and dislikes and re-tweets and use a filter on your pictures. and i hope that my daughter, and i wrote to my daughter and not my son because i think there are a million more ways that we judge women than we do men, i hope that my daughter will seek approval from people enough to sort of flummox her detractors. but will also really seek approval from herself and maybe that involves embarrassing herself sometimes. but you know -- enough to fail and get back up again. >> and there on page 90 was the name charlie rose.

8:47 am
berkeley law school, she became a fierce attorney in washington, d.c., where she says being a woman had an unexpected advantage. >> someone who doesn't know you and hasn't -- doesn't take women seriously will look at you as their opponent and breathe a sigh of relief that you are not a man. initially, that kind of response to me would make me furious. it didn't take long before it amused me because i knew that they weren't working as hard, they weren't staying up as late because they assumed that they would deliver their be game. i always delivered my a game. >> reporter: it's nba commissioner adam silver who now needs to bring his a game. the team owners and the union have begun discussing the next collective bargaining agreement which covers everything from revenues to rules. these are young men who are rich, talented -- >> stop saying rich all the time. >> reporter: they are rich. they are rich. by most people's standards --
8:48 am
>> reporter: i'll buy that. that sounds like maybe you guys will be looking for little bit there. >> there are increased revenues. so obviously we're having discussions about increased compensation. >> reporter: roberts, who has no children of her own, has come to embrace the players not just as employers but as an extended family. >> these guys, they may change teams, they may change agent, girlfriends. but the one constant as long as they are players is the players association. my feeling of obligation to them is genuine. >> i would say spoken like a true mom. >> at 450 kids. >> reporter: the current collective bargaining agreement expires next year which is why talks are starting now. roberts has galvanized players like lebron james and stefan occuri which potentially adds more power -- stephen curry which potentially adds more power to a union that she's trying to turn around. >> a bad ass.
8:49 am
