7:03 am
president, take this home. said let me wear it. i have no idea how it looks. >> like grandpa stepped out of the army surplus store. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. >> i thought he looked pretty good in that bomber jacket, stephen colbert, but that's a funny joke. an update on charlie rose. i got a call he was spotted in central park walking the dog. they call and tell us stuff. anthony mason is with us. you know you're in good hands. attorney general jeff sessions said he will have no role in the fbi investigation between the possible ties between the trump campaign and the russian government. he insists his two meetings with the russian ambassador last year were not improper. the president blames the democrats calling it

witch hunt. the former prime minister is also using the same word, witch hut. sergey kislyak also met before the inauguration with president trump's son-in-law gerald kushner a jared kushner and michael flynn. >> keep in mind the help of the intelligence community they were tracking russian operatives because of the expanding russian cyber attacks on democratic party officials during 2016 election. >> i have recused myself in the matters that deal with the trump campaign. >> reporter: u.s. attorney general jeff sessions said he would have no involvement in any investigation related to the trump campaign and denied accusations of collusion with the russians. >> i never had meetings with
7:05 am
intermediaries about the trump campai campaign. >> reporter: the announcement came less than a day after he admitted to having two meetings with kislyak last year, something he did not reveal in his confirmation hearing. >> i have been called a surrogate in that campaign a time or two. did not have communications with the russians. >> reporter: it was said on thursday he thought he was telling the truth. >> in retrospect i should have slowed down and i should have said i met one russian a couple of times. >> reporter: in 2016 senator sessions was one of the first to endorse president trump and he became a top surrogate. >> i'm pleased to endorse donald trump as the president of the united states. >> reporter: at an event during the national convention in july he had a conversation with kislyak. then ipt
7:06 am
the alabama senator's capitol hill office. >> i think i performed exactly correctly for an attorney general of the united states. >> reporter: last night on fox news sessions said the russian ambassador initiated that meeting where they discussed ukraine but not the campaign. >> i don't believe anybody that was in that meeting would have seen or believed i said one thing that was improper or unwise. >> reporter: sergey kislyak has a reputation in washington for reaching out to u.s. politicians and their surrogates. keep in mind it was his conversation with michael flynn that ended up getting mike flynn fired as national security adviser last month. counter intelligence officials say anyone working at the russian embassy here in the u.s. is viewed with suspicion by u.s. law enforcement, viewed as part of the kremlin spy network. even the russian ambassador.
7:07 am
>> jeff pegues. thanks, jeff. president trump also backed his attorney general earlier in the day. he spoke out during his trip on a plan for security spending. he argued that the u.s. must show its power to the world. margaret brennan is at the white house with more. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. touring the nation's newest navy ship president trump took time to say he believed attorney general jeff sessions did nothing wrong. the president is increasingly frustrated by these persistent statements. to make his case for military expansion president trump went aboard the navy's newest aircraft carrier, the "gerald r. ford." at a cost of $13 billion, it's the most expensive ever built. >> this
7:08 am
nation's ability to carry out vital missions. >> reporter: questions as to while trump campaign adviser senator sessions did not disclose his meetings with the ambassador distracted from the tour. as attorney general, sessions would oversee all fbi investigations into russia. any collusion or contact with moscow has been repeatedly denied by president trump. >> i have nothing to do with russia. to the best of my knowledge, no person i deal with does. >> reporter: but recent revelations of undisclosed meeting led justice didn't lawyers decide he should not have any role in the ongoing probe. >> therefore i have recused myself. >> reporter: yet hours earlier the president told reporters he disagreed and said sessions should oversee the investigation. >> when did you first learn he talked to the russian ambassador? >> i wasn't aware at
7:09 am
>> when did you become aware? >> i wasn't aware at all. >> when did you find out. >> now the white house says any suggestion of political impropriety is politically motivated. and, gayle, senior officials tell me that behind closed doors the trump white house is quietly forming a new russian policy with a much more skeptical view as they hear from allies about widespread russian military provocations and interference in elections 'broad. >> the plot thickens. thank you very much, margaret. that's john dickerson. he joins us from washington. hello, john. >> hello, gayle. >> now that mr. sessions has recused himself from this investigation, to you think that's enough for the administration to move foords and put it behind them? >> well, the best way to move forward and put it behind them is for donald trump the keep up on the promises he made on the campaignra
7:10 am
situations where you have people connected to the administration saying things that are at odds with the truth, you have michael flynn, the national security adviser and now attorney general. even though he's of a different order in terms of what he said, the job he's in is one in which forthrightness is the most important part of the job and that's the problem here. he wasn't forthright and he was supposed to bend overbackward. >> it is like a song out of "empire" drip, drip, drip itty drop. we see a son-in-law, an attorney general, former national security adviser and former campaign manager. >> the key is when did the contact take place. there's nothing wrong with the national security adviser having contact after the election. they were coming in, this is a transition, they meet with the russians. there are people who are obviously at odds with the way president trump looks a the
7:11 am
security perspective, but the contacts after election are not as big a deal as the contacts before the election and they're still reporting that former national security adviser flynn was in contact with the russians during the actual election and that's really where the focus of the election is, is whether anybody in the trump campaign was involved in russian meddling with the election. that's different than after the election took place. >> john, some democrats are calling for a special prosecutor here. >> it would have to come from the acting attorney general because jeff sessions recused himself. the only way i can see that happening is if pressure comes from the administration through future disclosures. if there's more that comes out that suggests that this needs to be looked at or if somehow the ongoing investigation is somehow tainted. so i thinks
7:12 am
unlikely, but if these kinds of revelations keep rolling out, perhaps the pressure grows. >> president trump was elected by an electorate that wanted change in washington, legislation change, a draining of the swamp. these stories, how much do they disstrakts from and the agenda they're trying to jump start just this month? >> in terms of the people who voted for him, these stories are an irritant and don't really distract from the white house. when he's on an aircraft carrier talking about $54 billion in increased spending and perhaps more than that, $34 billion on top of that and talked about school choice today, that's what the people who elected him see and want and they see this russian business just as a confection of the press. now, if you kojts to have republicans speaking out, that's what changes the politics of this even more. but
7:13 am
the president's own team here. that's what breaks it out of the normal partisan sorting that goes on with this kind of thing and that's when it can become something that really gets in the way of the white house. >> john, thank you very much. john will be speaking with virginia democratic leader. >> senator rand paul said he and some other conservative lawmakers have not been allowed to see it. >> these to me are democratic ideas dressed up in republican clothing. this should be done openly in the public and conservatives who have objection who don't want obamacare should be allowed to see the bill. >> reporter: he also
7:14 am
it's the largest operation in yemen since the january raid that left a navy s.e.a.l. dead along with dozens of yemenis. newly released video is raising questions about a high speed police chase that ended with the death of a teenager. some viewers may find the images disturbing. nicholas dyksma led ershiff's deputies in georgia on a dangerous ten-mile chase in 2015 and when the deputies stopped his truck, they repeatedly tasered him and dragged him to the groujd. dyksma was later pronounced dead at the hospital. we have how the family pushed for release of the dash cam video. mark, good morning very good morning. nicholas dyksma made two mistakes.
7:15 am
he used meth and he ran from police, but his rjpatss say none of it justifies what happens ne. hay ywantou to watch this video so it never happens again. after a roughly ten-mile chase, harris county sheriff's deputies approached nicholas dykema's truck. they smashed through his window, pu hlledim out anduf cfed him. you can see one deputy put his knee on his neck for nearly 40 seconds. moments later they noticed the teenager had stopped moving. >> hey. >> reporter: deputies originally onrespded to call aboutan a m sleeping in his truck. when they woke him, right away he took off. once they caught and subdued him and he stopped breathing, deputies didn't start cpr until nearly ten minutes later. >> it's heartbreaking, you know, to ine
7:16 am
>> reporter: nicholas's mom nancy dyksma can't bring herself to watch the video. >> you feel your son was executed? >> yes. >> becausesome. >> because i think that they were really rough with him, i think they were brutal to him. >> reporter: nicholas's autopsy report reported three causes of death. use of a stun gun, use of the knee to the torso and intoxication by mekts amphetamine. >> he made a mistake by running and taking meth. that may have influenced his judgment but last time i checked, that's not a capital offense. >> i know he should haven't run. i understand that. but it really wasn't their place to end his life. >> reporter: the dyksma family has filed civility suit against the harris county sheriff's office.
7:17 am
they have not responded. it's under investigation, so for that reason they can't comment either. anthony? >> mark strassmann. thanks, mark. this morning the founders of snapchat of billionaires on paper. snap inc. made its wall street debut. it increased 44%. jill schlesinger is here with some of the numbers other analysts don't like. good morning. >> good morning. >> what they don't like is this company lost half a billion dollars laugh year. >> yes. >> how is this so popular an iposome. >> well, i think it has a lot to do with the 158 million daily active users. you have all those young eye balls and younger eye balls. if you're an investor you're saying, okay, they lost half
7:18 am
million dollars last year but they'll find a way to monetize all those users. this going to be a hit. what's fast natsing about it, there have not been a lot of tech ipos in the last couple of years, so this really pushed through. everyone wanted it. >> if you're a billionaire on paper, how long before you're a billionaire in the banksome. >> it depends on how long it takes them. they have very aggressive objectives per the company. when they said, hey, we want to build up our revenue and they've got ambitions. again, the devil is in the details. is this facebook, or this twitter? facebook -- >> they did really well. >> they did really well. and -- it's up five-fold. look at twitter. similar kind of concept here. twitter went public. lots of ar

down by about two-thirds from its ipo value, so we don't know which way this is going to do. >> facebook did that with a lot of mobile advertising, which is, of course, the bulk of their profit. does snap have a platform that can support mobile advertisingsome. >> it's unclear right now. one of the things is if they invest in the platforms. we'll see if they can make it. as my mother would say, why couldn't you fall in love with somebody like that, they're very nice boys. >> and you're very taken. thank you, jill. >> yes. new security scanners could speed up airport scanners by 15%. first up this morning we look at 3-d technology that

investigation of the 2016 cam cain including russian interference of the elections. jeff sessions' announcement came a day after the news that he did not disclose meetings with the russian ambassador during his confirmation hearing. the two spoke twice last year, once during the republican national convention and once at his office in september. sessions said that meeting focused on international matters. >> we talked about a number of issues. one of them was of ukraine. we had a disagreement over that. the ukrainian ambassador had been into my office for a meeting the day before. i don't recall any discussion of the campaign in any significant way. it was in no way some sort of coordinating of an effort on doing anything improper, and i don't believe anybody that was in that meeting would have seen or believed i said one thing that was improper or unwise. >> sessions said he should have told the senate judiciary mm

ambassador, but he said criticism is unfair. more than 100 democrats have called for him to resign. president trump last night said jeff sessions is an honest man. he could have stated his response more accurately, but he was clearly not intentional. the statement also accused democrats of, quote, a total witch hunt. "washington post" political reporter ed o'keefe is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> it was your papers that first disclosed these meetings that attorney general jeff sessions had with the russian ambassador. if there was nothing improper or nefarious about these meetings, why the effort to conceal them? >> that's what we want to know frankly. you would think if they want to change the health care laws, revamping the tax system, getting the nominee with no problem, they would try to get this out as quickly as possible. instead it's been
8:04 am
dripping, dripping almost every single day. >> what are the key questions? >> they would want to know what he was discussing. part of the reason is because he was a member of the armed services committee. he might have met regularly with foreign defense officials, military officials, but why would he be meeting with the ambassador? that's usually reserved for the foreign relations and intelligence committees. given that everything was going on and the report of russian interference at that time, that's what raises questions. i think we in the press and certainly others want to know, you know, why else were people talking to them during the campaign. during the campaign, that makes more sense. they were reaching out to a lot more entities during that point. but during the campaign, especially around that time when he was a prominent surrogate, one wonders what was going on. >> when you were talking about mr. sessions, was it a lie or omission? >> yesterday he seemed to suggest it was an omission but that's why the questions sit there unanswered. what were they discussing and
8:05 am
especially when so many other senators said they had no contact at all with the russian ambassadors. >> what do you think about the other republicans saying, listen -- >> that said anything. while he may have been getting legal advice that he might need to recuse himself, that other senators from key swing states and a bunch of vulnerable republican members of the house who may face re-election issues because of the president's unpopularity may have to address that. >> they promised tax reform by august. what are some of the signs that that may happen or that they may hit some roadblocks? >> well, for one thing you saw members of both parties running around trying to find copies of the actual reform plan. >> exactly. >> they don't have it yet. part of the reason they don't have it is because they just finished confirming most of the cabinet. the senate can't do anything else. the other, they can't figure out the details. >> i've been told it'
8:06 am
the tom price plan he had put forward when he was in the house. >> but you're going have as many as 40 conservative house republicans, members of the freedom caucus raising concerns about his price or it doesn't go far enough to revamp the law. if those 40 are making trouble while democrats doan want to do anything to change the law, it could cause problems. >> how far away are they from this, ed? >> health care? >> yes. >> i would be surprised if it was done before memorial day and tax reform somewhat concur endly, but i think this is going to take a little while. >> thank you, ed o'keefe. former president george w. bush is back in the public eye after keeping a low profile during the obama administration. mr. bush has been making media rounds over a book regarding veterans and he has not shied away from the current political scene. vladdier duthiers is here to tell us all about it. good morning.
8:07 am
since former president george w. bush left in 2009 he's tried to avoid the national spotlight. now that the new president is in, the former president has been drawn back in. he has been busy lately, bouncing his way through a publicity tour through a new book. >> you're closer to her than barack. >> well, let's put it this way, he's never given me a hug that way. >> but questions about the current administration are hard to avoid for a current president. >> love humor, and the best humor is when you make fun of yourself. >> well, tell that to the president. >> reporter: especially in today's polarized political climate. >> i'm out of politics. my whole view is i don't think it serves the nation or office of president to have a former president criticize his successors. >> thank you, mr. president. thank you. >> reporter: only days earlier
8:08 am
for the free press it's important for media to account to the media those who abuse their power. >> i'm asked the question do i believe in free press, and the answer is absolutely. and so i answered that question and, of course, the headlines were bush criticizes trump. so, therefore, i should say there should be a free and independent press, but it ought to be accurate. >> reporter: the former commander in chief characterized the political discourse in washington as "pretty ugly" adding, i don't like the racism and i don't like the name-calling and i don't like the people feeling alienated. but for former president who stayed clear of politics for a better part of a decade, he offered this warning to the nation. >> there's an isolationist tendency in our country and i would argue that's dangerous da to our national security and doesn't befit the character of the country. >> in the

many scientists are worried about the future of the viernltsal protection agency. the trump administration wants to cut the epa's budget by around 25%. that proposal includes a significant reduction of staff as well, but as mark phillips discovered on a recent trip to antarctica for his climate diary series, a new funding project is giving scientists hope. tourists are paying for a trip of a lifetime along with researchers who are tagging alo along. >> reporter: ready for more than your average holiday, coming to antarctica as a tourist can be a
8:16 am
it's a trip for the intrepid and not just because they can do this. it's a full immersion expense in so many ways. the operators don't call these cruises. they call them expeditions. and that's not just the way of adding to the romance of falling in the food steps of the great explorers, of seeing things off the beaten track. it's because these trips also involve science. >> they take time-lapse pictures. >> reporter: like the research he's doing. this documentary of the ever increasing speed of the glacial ice flo probably wouldn't happen if the tourists didn't come ha here you get this hybrid mix where people are paying big bucks to come down as a
8:17 am
trip but it also helps the kind of work that you do. >> yeah, it is a formula that i would like to see continue. >> reporter: it may have to. with an administration of climate change skeptics in washington, the science that gets done on these trips might not otherwise happen. >> you can clearly see this big trend of increasing temperatures that's been happening. >> reporter: ken taylor is one of the em nenltd scientists whose work has provided essential data on the earth's climate history and he says the writing about funding cuts has been on the wall since day 1. >> we've already gotting indication from our funding agency that we should anticipate budget cuts. >> you should anticipate budget cuts. >> it didn't take very long after the election for that to come down. >> reporter: when the research is government funded the money doesn't go far enough. john durbin is a

expert and checks on the whales. but there's no way he and poly fernbeck couldn't get here if they didn't get a ride from the tour operators who see, bringing actual scientists along as part of the appeal to their customers. >> it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars if you were to charter a research vessel. it's a wonderful relationship that we have. >> a relationship that has to continue if the work is to go on. >> this is the seventh year in a row we've conducted research on the ship. we've studied animals. to understand them and take opportunities with them, it takes multiple years. >> reporter: the tourists for all the fun they're having are effectively underwriting the sciencelet part of the substantial ticket prices for adventures like this goes to covering the cost of the work that's being done on board and
8:19 am
to mind, they think it's a good idea. many like laurie fye from austin came here for more than the thrills. they came out of a sense of commitment to the environmental cause. >> i really think it's a shame that the science is in the cross hairs of politics because it doesn't take much to understand that we are having a detrimental effect collectively on the world. >> reporter: they come here for the experience, and they leave with even more than memories. they leave with knowledge. the scientists on board give the tourists a sense of purpose, and if it weren't for the tourists, the scientists wouldn't be here. it's a marriage made in heaven. mark phillips, "cbs this morning," antarctica. >> absolutely beautiful. >> i'm not a fan of the cold but i would like to do that. i haven't seen a penguin in person. >> we could get you up there?

period of time, i've been advocating about diversity where in our industry where fashion and beauty is always considered a size 2 or 0, i wanted to change the dialogue. i wanted to be part of this movement where women feel empowered no matter what size they are. i as a designer celebrate the essence of a woman rather than just about shape and size. i have been wanting to do that. there have been fewer incidences of that. one of them was during one of my trunk shows that i've gone to when i met this woman. there was a curvier woman who had come there and she wanted to try the collection and she -- you know, she was hesitant. and i was also on a diversity panel. everyone was talking about race and everything and one of the women said what about plus size and they said, we'll get to you. that kind of reall
