7:07 am
landed his helicopter near the fairground. >> does anybody want to take a ride? >> he took groups of young iowan through the air for an area ride. heard through. >> i apologize. we left the helicopter at home. it's in the garage. forgot to bring it. >> reporter: trump also rolled out his first detailed policy over the weekend, plan to deal with undocumented immigrants that calls for tripling the number of immigration officers, mandatory deportation for undocumented immigrants convicted of a crime, and building a wall across the southern u.s. border paid for in part by paying fees on illegal mexico border crossings. trump says he'll unveil more in the days to come if only to silence the skeptics. >> i don't say, here's 14 points. i go out and do it.
7:08 am
>> trum listen p will be off th campaign trail to report to jury duty. he was charged fines for failing to appear last time but it was sent to the wrong address. john is with us from iowa. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. how are you? >> how was the fair? >> reporter: the fair is fantastic. i have a hand dipped double bacon wrapped corn dog that i'm bringing back for you. >> so we now have a policy position on immigration from donald trump. will that make a difference? >> reporter: well, i think -- look. immigration was obviously one of the core big ticket issues that attracts a lot of people to him from the outset. this immigration plan is exactly what you would have expected. it appeals to the people who ave the harshest most
7:09 am
restrictest ideas in america. for people who liked donald trump and who like that rhetoric, he backs up the rhetoric and that will reinforce their attraction to them. >> a new poll shows ben carson has moved up. he's now in second place followed by ted cruz. what do you make in the search? >> that's amazing, gayle -- i think it's gayle. they now account for more than 50% according to the votes of republican vote preference which tells you right now in the republican party, four people who are basically either nonpoliticians or harsh anti-establishment air yan, that's where the party is right now. they totally dwarf the 13 other candidates in terms of precedence and that gives you a
7:10 am
sense of populist energy. the establishment has to get to grips with that if it's going to succeed in 2015. >> john, everybody watching hillary clinton very closely. how did she work the crowd. how did she perform compared to last time? >> you know, she was here on saturday. she spent about 90 minutes at she had a pork chop on the stick, looked at the butter cow, did some things. the problem for her, no matter what she does, she still has this giant phalanx around her, the security, secret service. even when she tries to get down close to the ground, she has so much insulation around her she seems removed from voters even though she's trying to get close to them. >> john, are they worried about the e-mail investigation? >> charlie, i think they've worried about it for a while and they become more worried more
7:11 am
and more. as the fbi is investigating it in a serious way, it seems like there's going to be a prolonged investigation. i don't think they worry that hillary will be indicted but they worry this could stretch on longer and there are more trap doors. nobody knows what's coming in clinton's campaign and that worried any strategist when it comes to coming down the road. >> never a good feeling. thank you, john heilemann. searchers found the plane 70 miles from the city of papua near oksibil. it's not clear whether anybody on the plane survived. charlie dagg tan is d'agata is with more. >> they were hoping to lower a team on the ground by helicopter but aircraft had to be turned back because of heavy weather and poor visibility. the same heavy weather that has
7:12 am
brought the plane down has hampered rescue teams struggling to find it. but these images provided to cbs brought to you by an indonesian rescue official said this appears to be a line of torn trees not far from where it landed. this was supposed to be a 45-minute domestic flight. and although weather may have played a role, trigana air service hasn't exactly earned the reputation of being a safe pair of hands. since the airline began operating in 1991, it's racked up 14 serious incidents, serious enough in theory to crash a plane. completely written off ten aircraft. it's been banned since 2007 and black listed by the united states too. indonesia has been plagued by a series of aviation disasters and the aviation industry can no longer be ignored says former
7:13 am
national safety transportation safety chairman mark rosenbeker >> we need to guarantee that we've improved aviation safety and get it to a level that's comparable to other places in the world. >> all of the passengers and crew on the plane are indonesian. among them, five children including two infants. there are also four postal workers who are carrying nearly half a million in cash to be handed out to poor families in the region. clarissa? >> charlie, terrible story, thank you. this morning investigators want to know why two small planes collided in california. it killed five people in san diego county near the mexican boarder.
7:14 am
the single engine cessna and a say bore business plane collided. they broke apart and caught fire after hitting the ground. first responders faced big charges. >> roger that. did you go out to that plane crash with two small planes? >> it's difficult to tell if it was two or just one that broke up. >> plane from the wreckage sparked small brushfires. one firefighter was hospitalized for heat exhaustion. this morning the nation's air traffic system is inching back to normal. a computer glitch in virginia this weekend spread travel misery from new york to florida. nearly 4,000 flights were delayed. 650 were canceled. kris van cleave is near racingal national airport outside washington with the outrage over the outage. kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the federal safety administration is focusing on the cause of this computer
7:15 am
meltdown. it's fairly new and is designed to help air traffic controllers control more airplanes at the same time. this weekend it did the exact opposite. it was supposed to provide them with additional tools to help track flights above 20,000 feet. instead it might have brought east coast traffvel to a halt saturday. it prompted long lines and frustrated flyers. >> freakin' terrible. >> reporter: delays started building saturday morning. a few hours later the skies over washington, d.c., and much of the mid-atlantic were virtually empty. the faa calls the program that failed foundational next to the nextgen air traffic control system. installed last year eram doubles the high altitudes controllers can track. they say there's no indication
7:16 am
there's problems with the inherent system but former national safety board chair mark rosenker isn't sure. >> when it went down, there was no type of backup and that is absolutely unacceptable when you talk about the number of aircraft, in fact, it's dealing with and what it needed to be doing. >> reporter: passengers were never facing any danger but thousands were waiting for the problem to be fixed. >> i'm not happy. i'm very upset. >> reporter: the faa has taken the new features that were offline while it and the software developer looked at what exactly caused this mess. charlie? >> thanks, kris. the military with no pilots could jump by 2016. there were only five drone flights a day. a senior official tells the
7:17 am
journal they'll keep track of a growing number of conflict areas. lit also wind its ability to track targets on the ground. this morning the united states reportedly has a stern warning for beijing. "the new york times" says the administration is putting chinese officials on notice about their cvent agents operating in the united states. they're working under fox hunt. it is beijing's effort to repate trait international fugitives. they're part of the international public security. they're likely entering on trade or tourist visas. president obama will welcome chinese president in secht for an official state visit. chinese officials say there were hundreds of chemicals at the explosion. the death toll has climbed to 114. at least 70 people, most of them firefighters are still missing. dozens of protesters who lost

west coast back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour onl% on "cbs this morning." "new york times" jodie is here. the online giant is responding. former white house press secretary jay carney now a top executive with amazon you see is standing by. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "washington post" says the white house will announce a new strategy today to fight heroin abuse. it favors dream of addicts over punishment. it will be working for one year in 15 states. "usa today" reports on the rape trial beginning today of a
7:31 am
former student of an elite prep school. he graduated from st. paul school in new hampshire. that's the same school where secretary of state johnier and other prominent americans have attended. he's charged with raping a 15-year-old girl last may. they say it allegedly started with a tradition where boys compete to have the most sex with girls. there's a report on an ap exclusive that says california is failing to create many green energy jobs. only 1,700 jobs were created in the last three years. a ballot measure promised to create more than 11,000 jobs each year. $297 million was given to schools to fund energy-efficient projects, but so far more than half the money was spent on consultants and auditors. and the los angeles times reports on delta air lines accused of shaming passengers to spend more when you choose the cheapest fare on delta's website. you get a list of restrictions.
7:32 am
it warns that you'll be the last to board and have seat assignment. they're pressured to pay for upgrades. >> amazon this morning is under fire. the market value is nearly $250 billion. amazon has facilities in 18 states. nearly 100,000 people work there. "the new york times" is now raising questions about the company's culture. >> jodi kanter and david spoke with more than 100 current and former employees. their story is the most read in an e-mail article on the "times" sight. it says workers are encouraged to tear apart one another's ideas and toil long and late. there are worries that the standards are unreasonably high. employees believe this.
7:33 am
they go there. >> it claims that our intentional approach is to create a soulcycleless disstoppian workplace where no fun is had and no laughter heard. again, i do not recognize this amazon and i hope you don't either. jodi kanter is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is a tough article. how did it come about? >> we don't realize how the company works inside. the employees had very powerful things to say about it. they really spoke to the strengths of working at the company. they said they love the innovation, the customer focus, the quality of the people who work at amazon but they were essentially questioning is our workplace -- it's designed to be tough but is it too tough? a former human resources director at amazon used the phrase purposeful darwinism to get the company to produce more. >> did somebody approach you and said you should know what's
7:34 am
going on here or did you hear certain things? >> we had begin zbun to hear more and mar what life was like. i have to be clear. we were moved also by the strengths of the company. it's become one of the most powerful retailers in the u.s. they've changed our way of shopping and it's very clear on some level what they're doing is working very well. >> some of the companies do what you're suggesting. they ask employees to give a lot, to be passionate about the company. they ask them to feel free to criticize supervisors. i mean some of this is a healthy thing and to be able to debate ideas. some of this article suggested those are bad ideas. >> well, what we found so fascinating in reporting this article is amazon on the one hand is singular. they call themselves peculiar. they pride themselves on being different. on the other side it does reflect the workplace. more efficiency, more data, comingled relationships between
7:35 am
employer/employees. the question is are there limits? for example, we did hear about people who felt they were evaluated too harshly, people who suffered from cancer and serious pregnancy loss who were evaluated very quickly after things happened. we talk to a mother of a stillborn child who as soon as she came back to work was told she would be monitored for her job performance. she felt the company wasn't giving her time to recover. >> you talk about people crying at their desk, groin men weeping. from how you describe it it sounds unbearable. did you find an upside? >> absolutely. you can see a response to the story. there's a wide variety of experiences and reactions to working at the company. i'd say the biggest group we nounld in our reporting is people who really loved certain things about loving at amazon but struggled with some aspects of its culture. as for the crying at your desk, one of the most fascinating
7:36 am
beliefs at amazon is that being sort of socially co-he's uive and making people feel good does not always produce the best results some of there is a culture of tough criticism there. >> jodi, thank you. >> thank you. >> let's bring in amazon's senior vice president of global affairs jay carney, former white house press secretary. you've been -- obviously have read this and have been listening to what jodi said about "the new york times" story she worked on. what say amazon, and do you disagree with the facts? >> well, charlie, thanks so much. it's great to be on with you again. here's my fundamental reaction to the story. i've been at amazon more than five months now, but more importantly people like jeff bezos, the founder, and people who have been at the company for 10 or 15 years don't recognize the amazon that "the new york times" wrote about. >> what is it they don't recognize? >> well, this is an incredibly compelling place to work, place
7:37 am
where people are excited to come to work. and i think the fundamental flaw in the story is the suggestion that any company that had the kind of culture that "the new york times" wrote about and sort after cruel darwinian or de-keynesian kind of atmosphere in the workplace could survive and thrive in today's marketplace. the competition in the high end industry right now, mbas, software designers is fear. we compete with world-class companies around the country and the globe for the best talent. they could go anywhere. they don't have to work at amazon. but over the past five years we've grown from 28,000 employees to 183,000 employees and somehow we've managed to do that and managed the keep some of the best talent in the industry because they like it so much, because of the spirit of invasion. amazon's to years old, charlie, which is old in some ways for a
7:38 am
tech company, but it has the feel of a startup. you know, i just -- i don't -- i'm not saying amazon's perfect. of course, we're not. we stride to improve every day but i didn't recognize what i saw in the article. >> let me bring in my co-hosts. >> how do you explain their feelings that you say is a prevalent feeling at the company? >> i'd say a couple of things. first of all, we weren't able to check out anonymous anecdotes or the names of people in the story we saw when it came out yesterday or the day before when it was photographed. as jeff wrote -- jeff bezos, the ceo of those employees, we have zero tolerance for behave by managers that are not empathetic. there are stories i can tell including somebody i work closely with who say the opposite. a woman i work with whose
7:39 am
husband suffered from a rare cancer got enormous support from the company and has for several years as she deals with that family challenge. so i guess i would say that, you know, again, you can't -- amazon wouldn't be the success it is if it were the company "the new york times" wrote about. people could walk away any time they want. these are folks who in much demand when it comes to jobs in well paying industries as anybody in the world. i'd also say -- >> i'm sorry to jump in but are you saying -- do you have a concrete rebuttal here? is there an error in the report that you're saying it's incorrect, the report is wrong? >> sure. i'll say one thing. the story seemed to be based on high turnover and attrition. but people leaving in and out of the company is completely consistent with other major companies in the united states. there's no difference at amazon. but what is different is 150,000 of the people who work at amazon
7:40 am
of the 183,000 earned jobs that didn't exist five years ago. my job didn't exist six months ago until i joined. >> jay, let me ask you company policy. is there no paid paternity leave at amazon? >> there isn't, but nighter is there at 80% of the u.s. companies which "the new york times" didn't note. and i think that, you know, a lot of company r companies in the tech sector and around the country are looking at their policies on paternity leave. we sure are. again, some of the issues we talk about in terms of a diversity in senior leadership, you know, we share the same kind of challenges that other companies in our sector share and we're committed to making the situation better. >> okay. >> but, again, if you -- i mean that's a great question, charlie. if you read the article, that little fact is written as something surprising when, in fact, it's consistent with 80% of u.s. companies.
7:41 am
>> okay. jay carney, thank you. speed traps could be hitting a bump. ahead, a pushback from police who try to turn your car into an atm. we'll be right back. as my diabetes changed, it got harder to control my blood sugar. today, i'm asking about levemir®. vo: levemir® is an injectable insulin that can give you blood sugar control for up to 24 hours. and levemir® helps lower your a1c. levemir® lasts 42 days without refrigeration. that's 50% longer than lantus®, which lasts 28 days. levemir® comes in flextouch, the latest in insulin pen technology from novo nordisk. levemir® is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes and is not recommended to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. do not use levemir® if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which may cause symptoms such as sweating, shakiness, confusion, and headache. severe low blood sugar can be serious

8:14 am
bizarre alleged murder plot. it involves a high-profile defense attorney and several california highway patrol officers. nine people were arrested friday. they're accused of taking the law into their own hands by conspiring to kill a reputed thief. "48 hours" correspondent erin moriarty is here. good morning. >> good morning. bizarre is the right word. the way they tell it it was an elaborate plan to kill a young man and then cover it up but the lawyer for the ring leader says the evidence isn't there. last year carson was running. today the prominent and controversial criminal defense attorney is behind bars, accused of masterminding an intricate murder plot. >> this has been a long three-year investigation. >> carson, his wife, along with a former k highway patrol
8:15 am
officer and three others are facing three murder charges. his stepdaughter and two highway patrol officers are accused of being accessories to the crime. >> to learn you have an employees in an organization like ours who have some involvement, any involvement or any knowledge of a murder is devastating. >> reporter: investigators say carson wanted to stop 26-year-old cory kaufman from stealing scrap metal, antiques and car parts from his property. >> he was scrapping which is slang term used to describe activity such as metal theft and other property crimes to make money. >> reporter: it wkaufman was discovered missing and his body decomposed was found in a forest. a plot to kill him says carson was frew straighted with law
8:16 am
enforcement's response to the theft and conspired to catch persons on his property and to make an example out of them. it concludes carson and his coconspirators lured kaufman to his property, shot him, and then dumped his body. but carson's attorney told us there ee no forensic evidence that ties his client to any of this and that does appear to be true. i happen to have the unusual arrest affidavit, 325 pages long. i've gone through it all. there are phone conversations that seem to be incriminating but no direct evidence. this is a bizarre cage case because the alleged ring leader ran for d.a. if he is accused of murder, what if he becomes d.a. >> a political vendetta? >> that's what he says. he certainly has lawsuits
8:17 am
against the current d.a. he ran against her. he has two lawsuits. he is very controversial in the area, fights with judges. this is going to be difficult to fight because already judges are recused themselves. they refuse to sign the arrest warrants because they know him. they may have to take it out of the county. >> thank you. former chairman deborah hersman used to investigate disasters. now she's watching one unfold. first on "cbs this morning," what's behind the soaring number of deadly car crashes in america. the findings are just out this morning. that's next. quilted northern works so well people can forget their bathroom experience. just like they forgot conductor randy, who sees all and forgets nothing.

the u.s. is on a pace this morning for what could be the deadliest year on the road since 2007, and that's according to the national safety council. take a look at the numbers from the first half of 2015 compared to the same time last year. we have lost nearly 19,000 of our fellow americans in road accidents in 2015, and that's up 14% from 2014. former ntsb chairwoman deborah hersman is president and ce of of the national safety council first on "cbs this morning." she's here with disturbing findings. good to have you back at the table, sorry for this. the first question is why so
8:22 am
high? >> unfortunately we see the economy improving. that's great thing when it comes to our dollars and cents but it's a fatal thing when we look at fatal crashes. when we see the economy improve we see an uptick in crashes. >> why? >> we think americans are driving more. they have more disposable income. more are employeed. they're driving to work, taking longer vacations and putting more miles on their care. we see a 3.5% increase in miles driven. that doesn't nearly track with the fatalities. so more is going on, charlie. >> you talk about car pool and it seems counterintuitive and it's increasing danger. can you explain it? >> sure. when it comes to teens, one of the biggest factors when it comes to safety is making sure they're focused on the road. additional passengers in the car can really affect that.
8:23 am
each additional passenger in the car increases their crash risk. 44% for one additional passenger and four times a crash risk with four kids in the car. it's much safer even though you have more cars on the road keep them separate and let them drive themselves to school rather than car pooling. >> we've heard about it. what are the other issues you're concerned about? >> summertime is a deadly period. we see spikes in distracted driving, speeding, and in impaired driving. lots of weekend parties, long holidays. a lot of alcohol is consumed. so unfortunately we see an uptick in tim paired driving crashes. >> drinking, speeding, and looking at your iphone at the same time. >> absolutely. it's a triple threat. unfortunately we're not driving the numbers down. if you follow the data, it's a flashing red caution sign saying there's a danger ahead. >> what do you do about that
8:24 am
after a while because it becomes white noise when it comes to people texting and driving. what do we do to change that? >> it's not just about texting. people think about it and it's prevalent. we see observations that that actually is going up, it's not going down, but it's all distractions. people have got to stay focused the road. it just takes a split second. that's why we see those fatality and injury numbers going up. >> let me change the subject. we had a computer glitch that led to a lot of passengers on planes having to wait and wait and wait. is that an unusual occurrence and is it something having to do with the way things are today? >> you know, i would say all of us are heavily reliant on technology, whether it's getting to work, flying on a plane. so that reliance on technology is really putting a lot of pressure on the systems to be stable. and we've got to think about redundancie redundancies. >> i was going to ask you about that. >> yeah. we've got have redundancies for those critical systems,

these ingredients are delivered to you and there's recipe cards and you prepare them at home. you may getting healthier foods and in addition you may be trying foods you never tried before. >> these are expensive, i'm assuming, these types of services you're talking about. >> the upside is they're incredibly vent. people are time suppressed. they don't want to cook or go to the grocery store but they can run $8 to $15 or more for the prep kits. that's a lot of money and you have to order at least two and there's delivery fees and tips and that kind of thing. the downside of the thing is really the expense as well. it also takes away from the sort of extend of grocery shopping and cooking in your kitchen and having kids be involved in cooking th you and choosing foods. you're laughing at me. you're not into it. >> no kids in my kitchen. >> it's the way you tell the story. the glazed brussel sprouts.
8:35 am
your enthusiasm for it i like. >> it's a fun thing but you can order unhealthy foods too. just because it's ordered from your local or favorite restaurant doesn't mean it's going to be healthy. and they're supporting organic. it doesn't mean it's healthy. you have to be thoughtful about what your choices are going to be. >> what about the study that says if you're cooking in your home, you're working out less? what do you think of that. >> you're working out less. first of all, we cook when we cook, we eat the meet and eat after we cook and it's an easy way to gain weight. we don't know how to prepare the healthy meals. >> correct me if i'm wrong. i think i saw a study this weekend by the government that suggested low fat diets were preferable to low carb diets. >> you know, these studies are looking at low fat, low carb, high protein. i feel like we need to look at real life. what are we going to do in real

the movie "straight out of compton" had a blowout weekend scoring $51 million soaring past
8:41 am
"mission impossible" and "the man from u.n.c.l.e." we spoke with one of the original members. that would be ice cube. and his son who plays him in the movies. we met them in los angeles over the weekend. for people who don't know the history of nwa, i think we have to go back for just a second. the thing that struck me about the movie is that you all were friends. >> yes. >> you were friends starting out and you were creating music. you were creating what you love doing. what were you trying to say in the music? >> some songs we were just having fun. rap -- you know, the art of rap, a lot of it is bravado, you know what i mean? just being the one with the slickest tongue. ♪ ice cube is not tr the pop charts ♪ >> you see what i mean? >> yes. exhibit a. >> it's not meant to amount to any kind of social political nothing. it's just a song. and then some records are you're really getting things off your chest and you really have things to say.
8:42 am
>> reporter: in the late 1980s five hip-hop artists had something to get off of their chests. >> you're about to see the strength of street knowledge. >> reporter: they formed the group nwa and in 188 released their debut album. straight o "straight out of compton" which sold over 3 million records. they became hip-hop pioneers. facing issues of young black men in the los angeles community including estranged relationships with the police. those provocative lyrics received so much attention and controversy that the fbi sent a warning letter to the group's warning label. >> to us back then, the fbi was somebody you seen on tv. you know, the lapd, daryl gates, those was the real villains, you
8:43 am

8:44 am
running for the role. >> yeah. i didn't want to give it to him. i wanted him to earn it. i couldn't give it to him because we were doing a serious movie, you know, and it's my job as a producer to protect the movie, not to, you know, make it a family and friends hour, you know what i mean? >> i like that. i love that your dad said he's proud of you. what does that mean to you? some guys live their whole lives and never hear their fathers say, son, i'm proud of you. >> as a son, as a child, you know, that's what you want your parents to say. so, you know, this whole experiences that been a dream come true. it's surreal. >> yo, drake. >> what up? >> i've got something to say. >> that part of the movie -- i think for mem m people who will see that for the first time, it will give them a different understanding of where that
8:45 am
