please, let me know where there's a service that models you a supermodel, championship ring, and $24 million a year. and welcome to the weekend. welcome to cbs this morning, saturday, i'm anthony mason along with alex wagner. the spring-like weather that a large part of the nation enjoyed just a few days ago, well, it's a distant memory. from nenld and the mid-atlantic states. many people are getting hit with an arctic blast. temperatures are not expected to make it out of the teens in some places. windchills well below zero. the big drop in temperature quickly froze what was left of a friday snowstorm here in new york. the city got about three inches, leaving kony island covered in snow rather than sand. at boston's logan international airport, the battle against the elements took a dangeus

8:05 am
north carolina, south carolina seeing snow as we head into tonight and tomorrow morning. in fact, a winter storm warning up in parts of that area until sunday at 11:00 in the morning. then, up to the north here, winter storm watch, parts of minnesota and into ohio and wisconsin. winter storm watch from sunday afternoon into monday evening. snow comes in there, moves through the chicago area. continues to the east. merges with another system and as this develops could create a nor'easter with some disruptive snowfall for the northeast as we head into tuesday with some people seeing a foot of snow or more? that is a possibility. cold, as you talked about everywhere we look here with the jet diving to the south. new york, 31 degrees for a high today. your normal high this time of year, alex, is 48 degrees. >> oh, don't i know that. meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station wbbm tv, thanks ed. now to the fight over health care. in his latest address, president
8:06 am
the house too. he planned to repeal and replace obamacare. the bill cleared two congressional committees this week. >> but the battle has just begun with conservative republicans wanting tougher, more sweeping changes in insurance requirements and medicaid. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the president used the bully bull pit this week to promote the first major piece of legislation of his administration. reforming obamacare. this while his administration is still trying to field lingering questions about links between trump's associates and foreign entities. >> i want every american to know that action on obamacare is an urgent necessity. >> reporter: in his weekly address, president trump pressed congress to semihis new health care plan, repealing and replacing obamacare. >> we have some great results. we have tremendous spirit. and i think it's something that's just going
8:07 am
shortly. >> reporter: the president met with key republican house committee members at the white house friday. capping a week of full court press from the administration and gop leadership. >> i think we can all agree that obamacare has failed. >> reporter: vice president mike pence, health and human services secretary tom price, and house speaker paul ryan all made public pitches for the plan. in an effort to win over reluctant republicans. >> this is the closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing obamacare. >> reporter: meanwhile, democrats tried to shift the focus to questions surrounding investigations into the trump campaign and russia. fbi director james comey briefed the gang of eight on president trump's claim that president obama wiretapped his phones during the campaign. house minority leader nancy pelosi said she wants comey to share what he knows with the public. >> he should set the record straight. yes, i do think he should say that. publicly. >> reporter: on friday, the white house said president trump did not know unt
8:08 am
that former national security advisor, michael flynn, had acted as foreign agent, representing turkey. white house press secretary sean spicer tried to down play the matter, saying the government does not advise employees on personal matters. >> i think we trust people to fill out the appropriate forms that they need to. >> reporter: now the flynn episode and still unsubstantiated claim that president obama bugged trump tower have damaged the president's credibility. this weekend, he is laying low while vice president pence will rally in kentucky to boost support for the president's health care plan. alex. >> thanks. almost four dozen obama administration federal prosecutors who stayed on after the presidential election have been asked to leave immediately. attorney general jeff sessions is seeking the resignations of the remaining 46 holdover u.s. attorneys. it has been customary for prosecutors to leave their positions when a new president takes office. many federal
8:09 am
nominated by president obama have already left. let's talk politics. and for that, we turn to cbs news contributor and "new york times" magazine chief national correspondent mark good morning. let's talk about the the request for the resignation of the federal prosecutors, how unusual is this move? >> well, the move itself is not unusual. i mean, it is fairly customary for administrations, especially when there's a new president to come in and actually ask for the resignations of all the u.s. attorneys. usually though it happens in much more orderly process. staggered over several months and there were mixed messages about how this would go on and what would happen with continuing investigations. then suddenly to the surprise of everyone that really has been paying attention, we have this sort of sweeping order to have the resignations come in for all u.s. attorneys. it creates
8:10 am
about what the ongoing investigations are, and so, i mean, i think people were taken aback by the suddenness of it. >> adding to a bit of this chaos, mark, let's talk about health care. the president thus far adopted sort of a good cop posture which is inacceptability vising members through white house dinners, bowling dates, et cetera, to get on board with this health care plan. how long is it before we see the president take a more punitive stance, if you will, as far as reluctant members who don't want to sign on to this though? >> well i think again, you don't really know what tools are in his tool box, as far as, you know, what kind of power he has to sort of enact some kind of punishment. whether it's threatening to campaign against members or to actually not invite them to the white house and so forth. donald trump is a salesman. there's no question about it. he can put a very, very happy and excited and optimistic face on something like this, but he also has never been known as a wonk. he's not going
8:11 am
details of this. at some point the details of medicaid expansion, things like that effect people's lives in the states people are operating in is not going to be made up for by, you know, a bowling date in the white house. so it's, again, we'll sort of see how this evolves. >> on march 20th, mark, the house intelligence panel is set to hold it's first public hearing on russian meddling and the 2016 election. james comey, the fbi director, has been invited to testify, what can we expect in this hearing, do you think? >> i mean, the hearing, i mean, as far as comey's role in this before the election on hillary clinton being the reopening of the investigation is deciding factor. i mean, he is -- he obviously right now is a bit of a-
8:12 am
trying to be an honest broker. he has big allegations. i mean testimony in a case like this is very dicey because you have classified material, you have the justice department which is new and which they haven't worked in before, and an administration that they could be fighting against. so i guess that's part of the many questions that we'll be answering when that thing comes to light. >> mark, what does congress do about the president's allegations last weekend that president obama wiretapped the offices of trump tower? does the white house want this to go away or does this have legs? are we going to see more on this in the coming weeks? >> i think the democrats would like to keep this in the news. it was a baffling -- one week ago today. that's the thing about this administration, feels like it was three months ago, but only one week ago. it does seem like if not they have not backed off a little bit, they certainly have maybe walked this back a little bit. prumpl has not talked very much about it since then. and it's uncomfortable position because i ,
8:13 am
fbi and james comey specifically has said there's nothing to this and he supposedly asked the justice department to sort of refute what the white house says which creates an awkward situation. i do think that the put up and shut up moment could be embarrassing for the white house. i think that's why democrats have pressed the issue. >> in washington, thank you very much for being us with. >> thanks, anthony. tomorrow morning on "face the nation" here on cbs, john dickerson's guest will feature paul ryan, senator rand paul, republican of kentucky, and vermont senator, bernie sanders. the u.s. economy posted solid job gains in the first full month of donald trump's presidency. the labor department said on friday, 235,000 jobs were added in february. that was enough to send the unemployment rate down by one tenth of a point to 4.7%. during the presidential campaign, president trump cast doubt calling the jobs data a
8:14 am
>> don't believe those phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5% unemployment. the numbers probably 28, 29, as high as 35 -- in fact, i even heard recently, 42%. >> kept going up that number. on friday, white house press secretary sean spicer said the president's view on the job's number have changed. >> i talked to the president prior to this, and he said to quote him very clearly, they may have been phony in the past, but it's very real now. >> they like them when the numbers make him look good. the unemployment report gave wall street a report, all made gains to end the week. positive jocks data supports expectations. the economy is strong enough for the federal reserve to raise key interest rates after it's meeting next week. mississippi woman facing deportation after a protest over president trump's policies has been freed.
8:15 am
about mr. trump's deportations policies and was arrested. she was released on friday from a detention center in louisiana. her parents brought vargas to the country when she was seven years old under a visa waiver program that allows immigrants to enter the u.s. without a visa for 90 days, but it denies them a hearing in front of the judge if they oversfap. the criminal investigation into the online posting of nude photos of female service members is spreading beyond the marines. to all branches of the military. the pictures were posted without permission, and in a remarkable news conference, the top marine corps general says she will hold those accountable. here's david martin. >> reporter: the come don of the marine corps cancelled an overseas trip to deal with the photo scandal which he called a threat to the service. >> these allegations themselves, they undermine everything we stand for at the marine corps. and as
8:16 am
discipline, honor, professionalism, and respect and trust amongst each other. >> reporter: general robert neler said so far fewer than ten women have identified themselves as victims of the photo sharing. and he pleaded for more to come forward. >> i know it's a stretch for me to ask them at this time, but i want to believe threatened, which i find as disgusting and as sick as some of this other stuff. >> reporter: although marines united has been shut down, other sites like marines united 2.0 keep popping up. vowing to continue the photo sharing. >> we've been fighting for 15 years.
8:17 am
you know, men and women, side by side. so what do you got to do to get in? what do you got to do to get in? i mean, come on, guys. >> reporter: david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. iraqi troops led by u.s.-led coalition forces are pushing deeper into mosul in their offensive to drive out isis from iraq's second largest city. soldiers from iraq's emergency response division are reportedly close to storming the city's old border. observers say this could lead to an isis counteroffensive. iraqi forces pushed isis in january. iraqi state tv says about half of western mosul has been taken. the iraqi push to retake mosul comes as some isis fighters are having second thoughts about what they're fighting for. holly williams has that part of the story. >> reporter: the so-called islamic state is crumbling. iraqi forces areow on the edge of mosul's historic old town. one of the
8:18 am
strongholds. isis fighters are being killed and rounded up as prisoners. booichb as they lose on the battlefield, they're still waging an online propaganda war, painting themselves as a band of holy warriors. this isis defector who we met in turkey shows just how powerful that propaganda can be. he told us he served in the military in jordan and then joined isis in late 2014. believing they created a just islamic state. but said he quickly realized he'd made a mistake. they kill anyone who argues with them, he told us. he was surprised to discover their brutality. yet, joined the extremists even after he'd watched some of their vicious execution videos, including the beheadings of two american journalists. why would youti
8:19 am
you had seen them committing atrocities like that? they said they were cia agents, not journalists he told us. and they slipped a verse from the koran into the video to justify the killings. no muslim could object or say this is wrong. there are many people who came to isis like me, he said, tens of thousands, if they'd known the truth, they wouldn't have joined. for cbs this morning saturday, holly williams, northern iraq. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the boston globe reports a gay veteran's group that was barred from marching in boston's st. patrick's day parade has now accepted an invitation to join. the change came this friday when a south boston veteran's council under growing public pressure, reversed course and voted unanimously to welcome the so-called outvets. no restrictions will be placed on the group's display

a point of attention when they initially did not accept them. robert james waller who wrote the best selled novel "the bridges of madison county" has died. it was later made into a movie. written in about 11 days. critics panned the book calling it sappy and cliche written. but it sold 12 million copies in 40 languages. it was on the best seller list for three years. robert james waller was 77 years old. the washington post reports that first year doctors throughout the country will now be allowed to work 24 hour shifts, starting in july. the controversial ruling from a medical educational council ends the 16 hour cap in a move to improve patient's safety by reducing the number of doctor to doctor handoffs. supervisors are ordered to keep close watch amid concerns of how sleep depti

8:31 am
throughout his campaign and has recently questioned whether it has been the source of ongoing leaks. here to discuss the state of the agency and what it means for america's security, is cbs news senior security contributor, michael morel. he is also, of course, a former deputy director of the cia. michael, good morning, thanks for joining us. >> good morning, alex. >> let's first get to the wikileaks information that is revealed that microphones on smart tvs and phones can be turned into listening devices, internet-connected cars can be hacked and controlled remotely and crashed. to what degree to ordinary average americans need worry about this? >> they don't need to worry at all, alex. the cia focuses it's activities overseas. it focuses it's activities on foreign nationals. the cia is not permitted by law to target americans. so, americans should not worry about this. just the opposite. they s
8:32 am
that their intelligence agency has developed these capabilities to collect intelligence on our adversaries who are trying to undermine our security and to in some cases, kill americans. so i think that's how the average american should think about it. >> michael, wikileaks says it's willing to help tech companies like apple and google secure some of these vulnerabilities that were revealed this week. what problems could arise from that? >> wikileaks has the computer code or says it has the computer code for many of these tools that have been revealed. that computer code itself is quite valuable to our adversaries if they could get their hands on it. because if you can get your hands on a computer code, you can search your own networks and see if the cia has been in your network. that computer code is valuable, and i hope wikileaks does not release it to anyone. >> michael, after the leaks, the white house is saying the
8:33 am
systems need to be updated. is that fair? >> absolutely. i think there's a lot of -- there's a lot of questions here about how did this happen? was this a cia staff employee or was this a contractor? how did they get their access to all of this data? how did they download it on to a thumb drive? how did they get it out of the building? were there red flags that were raised that wered be asking and that congress should be asking about how did this happen? >> but is it clear to you, michael, that this was an inside job? >> anthony, absolutely. this data not shared outside cia. it's only inside cia. it's on cia's top secret network, which is not connected to any other network. so, this has to be an inside job.
8:34 am
adversarial relationship between this white house and the intelligence agencies? what are the implications of a president who has been so openly critical of the agency? >> so there's an impact -- there's an impact on moral, alex. when your most important customer is publicly criticizing you, it takes a toll. but i think a bit of that is behind us now. this was primarily before the inauguration. there hasn't been a lot of criticism of the work of the agency since, there's been some criticism of leaks, but not of the works. i hope that's behind us. >> michael morel, thank you so much for being with us this morning from washington, thanks. >> your welcome. still ahead this morning, america in disrepair. from roads to railways to water systems and new report details the sorry state of the nation's infrastructure.

and one of the most common medical conditions around, arthritis. it impacts the daily lives of millions. this week the cdc published a vital signs report highlighting the growing incidents of arthritis, using health data from 2013 to 2015, the cdc estimated that about 54 million adults in the country have arthritis. that equates to about one in every four adults. the cdc also found that nearly 60% are of working age. how does that impact the working lives, daily lives. >> it really creates a picture of arthritis as being disabling and affecting quality of life. for about 24 million americans, it affects every day activities. things we take for granted like picking up our coffee cup, bending over, walking a couple city blocks. picking up your grocery bags. so it's a big issue for lots of americans with, and in addition, it impacts people who have other diseases, like heart disease, obesity, and
8:40 am
it more difficult to manage those diseases. people who have arthritis are twice as likely to suffer an injury-related to a fall. and not surprisingly, it impacts mental health. so about 30% of those over 45 have anxiety and depression. >> wow. >> any sign this is decreasing at all? >> no, it's going up. it's going from 54 million to 75 million estimated in 20 years because we're going to get older. i have to echo what tara said, this is something we take your granted, my entire life, you know, i thought it was a miracle that i could say, go up to my wrist, go down, it doesn't hurt. you know, you have to appreciate that. and it's not until you start to have pain that you realize, this is a big deal. it's serious. >> tara, if adults have arthritis, what can be done? physical activity. and to remain physically active whether it's walking, swimming, cycling, that's been shown to reduce pain and to reduce symptoms by about 40%, in addition, maintain a healthy
8:41 am
diet, discuss medications with their doctors and there are disease management education programings. and those can really help patients learn thousand build their confidence and skills about managing their disease and it's been shown to also decrease pain, fatigue, and depression. all right next up. advances in science and technology are helping us find new ways to fight back against cancer. including immune no therapy. technique harnesses the body's immune system to find and destroy cancer cells. in this clip from tomorrow's cbs sunday morning, the doctor takes a look that the evolving science. >> reporter: what happened to her seems like a miracle. back when she was just nine, feeling weak and dizzy, she was taken to a hospital on long island. where doctors gave her a diagnosis she barely understood. leukemia. 98% of children with this form of cancer respond well to chemotherapy, so her doctor
8:42 am
brutal rounds, the cancer was getting worse. >> and natural reaction is to think, why me? >> uh-huh. yeah, i was like, what did i do badded so that god could give me this punishment? >> reporter: desperate and out of options, she had one last chance. she was enrolled in a clinical trial for an experimental treatment. how's everything? how are you feeling today? >> reporter: after six weeks, the paid yachtic oncologist who treats her couldn't find a single leukemia cell. not one. >> you know, it is a very exciting technique. think about a blood hound. giving the scent to a blood hound. it's like giving the scent of cancer to your own immune system and having it go after the cancer cells, but at the same time, it's a careful delicate line you have to walk when you talk about cancer. at the same time, there are all these exciting new possibilities. there are people out there watching this right now who have

loved ones are really in big trouble. and tomorrow on sunday morning, cbs sunday morning, we're going to talk about the whole water front about treatment, overdiagnosis, about new ways of treating it with other modal distance and also going to be a tear jerker or too two, there's a beautiful piece about a little boy. >> you can catch the full story and more tomorrow as john said on the special edition of cbs sunday morning beyond cancer hosted by john. finally an innovation in stroke treatment. in 204, the cleveland clinic started using mobile stroke units, ambulance specifically designed to improvement treatment times for people who suffer strokes. they also have telemedicine capabilities, a neurologists is able to remotely evaluate a patient as he or she makes his or her way to the hospital. we examined the benefits, the doctor has a look at the results. >> all of the sudden
8:44 am
very bad headache. >> reporter: when monica suddenly began to feel sick last friday, her daughter called 911. >> there were asking me to lift my legs and my arms and stuff. at first, my leg wasn't lifting anymore. >> reporter: a special mobile stroke unit responded. it's equipped with a c.t. scanner. a video conferencing system to communicate with doctors at the hospital. and drugs that can stop the most common type of stroke in it's tracks. remotely, a neurologist diagnosed a stroke and ordered life-saving medication. the doctor managed her care at cleveland clinic. >> this is actually allows us then to go right to a person's home, be able to make a definitive diagnosis of what tripe of stroke it is and that allows us to deliver the right type of treatment immediately. >> reporter: the most common type occurs when a clot cuts off blood flow to the brain. quick treatment can dissolve the blockage before brain cells die,
8:45 am
even death. the doctor's new study found that patients treated by a mobile stroke unit get tpa an average of 38 minutes faster than those transported in a regular ambulance. >> make all the difference in the world between a person being able to walk or not being able to walk, for a person to be able to go home versus living in a nursing home. >> tara, is this the forefront specialized ambulances. >> anything that can streamline the process is going to be important. because strokes are so frightening, they're so debilitating, they trip you of the essence of who you are -- >> and time is critical. >> when you get to the er, you have to wait to see the er doctor, get the scan, get the scan read, this is really an amazing innovation. >> doctors with thanks as always. up next, it's a report card you'd rather not bring home. a civil engineering group gives the nations infrastructure a near failing grade. why they could give momentum to president trump's call for a trillion dollars in infrastructure spending. you're watching cbs this morning, sur

president trump right now is working to drum up some support from republicans for the obama carrey placement. they've been working on. so tonight he invited 100 of them to come bowling at the white house. for real. it's a pizza and bowling night. >> white house bowling got started back in 1947, when two lanes were built in what's now known as the situation room, as a birthday gift to harry s. truman. the 33rd president was not a bowling fan. but he did knock down seven of ten pins on the inaugural roll. in 1955, president dwight d. eisenhower moved the lanes across the street to the basement of the old executive office building. richard nixon was the ultimate bowler in chief. he built a state of the art alley located underneath the driveway, leading up to the north port co. both allies are still in use

bush, bill clinton, george w. bush, and barack obama have all tried their hands at knocking down the official white house pins. >> the real takeaway, design a presidential bowling shirt. >> brilliant. >> nice to have your own alley. >> interesting that president trump is not that interested in camp david, but he is interested in the bowling alley. >> richard nixon bowled at 232 one time. impressive. of course when you're president no one challenges your score. >> that's true. still ahead, very small school with big impact on the game of basketball. new jersey's famed st. anthony's high has sent scores of students to division one schools and seven players to the nba, but the legendary program and the school itself may not survive. some of you your local news is next. the rest, stick around,

welcome to cbs this morning saturday, i'm anthony mason. >> and i'm alex wagner. coming up this hour, the president tries to rally all the republicans to support a house gop plan on health care. but his work is cut out for him. we'll talk with the man who knows that battle well. then as we get ready for selection sunday, one legendary basketball program has it's own march madness. why this high school that created hundreds of star college athletes may have to shut down. and was ernest hemmingway a spy for both russia and the u.s.? we'll talk with the author of a book that looks at hemmingway's espionage work. but first our top story this
9:01 am
hour, president trump's attempts to replace the affordable care act also known as obamacare. this morning in his weekly address, mr. trump continued to push for a health care plan offered by house republicans. it was cleared by two congressional committees this week. president trump said yesterday that action on obamacare needs to be taken immediately. >> 17 would be a disaster for obamacare. that's the year it was meant to explode. because obama won't be here. that was when it was supposed to be. it'll get worse. as bad as it is now, it'll get worse. >> some conservative republicans say the house plan falls short. they want bigger changes on repealing medicaid expansion and on insurance requirements. for more on the republican push to repeal and replace the affordable care act, we turn to michael feldman, former democratic staffer, strategist, and vet of past health care battles on capitol hill. good morning. >> good morning. >> it sounds like this bill is movieg
9:02 am
how much in the senate and among senate roms? >> significant. the battle you see playing out in the house, the lines that have been drawn among factions right now are even more difficult in the senate. and of course in the senate, just the way the rules work, there are more places for opposition in the senate. what the republicans are trying to do is pass this through a process called reconciliation. which then allows them to try to get this bill passed with a 50 vote threshold. it's going to be difficult. >> how key a moment is this for administration? when it has it's first major piece of legislation. the president sort of deal making prowess which has been much celebrated is kind of going to be tested here, isn't it? if this deal fails to go through, what does that say about this administration? >> it is a big deal. you only have so much political capital, the fact that they chose this as the first major legislative push is a big deal. look, there are political
9:03 am
the way, there are political consequences if he succeeds. so it's very tricky first the legislative initiative. >> talk about the consequences. michael, the "new york times" reports that some of the voters, some of the people that may be most adversely affected by the gop's health care plan are in fact trump supporters. 59% of those who would be most adversely affected voted for donald trump in 2016 over hillary clinton by 36%. >> look, health care is very tricky. and history is littered with the corpses of people who tried -- political corpses of people that tried -- >> both sides of the aisle. >> even when you win, sometimes you lose. potentially tense of millions much people who are impacted fwi. some studies say up to 10 or 15 million people could lose the coverage result of this. and to a point, alex. a lot of them are older, they're less affluent, and disproportionate a number of them voted for trump. the political consequences are huge. >> thees
9:04 am
>> you have breitbart coming out and saying it could hurt not just trump's own as an opposition party. the house and the senate are trying to govern. it's much easier by the way to oppose something than it is to actually propose and posz something -- >> i apologize. >> and the president is learning how to be a deal maker in a very tricky environment. >> and there's a question, the democratic playbook. do they stand out of way or something they should be doing? >> step out of the way while republicans are fighting amongst themselves and remind people about what's at stake. >> michael feldman, good to see you, lots happening on the hill. after a brief taste of spring across much of the nation, winter weather is striking back. this morning, millions of americans are waking up to very cold temperatures and snow.

from the great lakes to new england and the mid-atlantic states. temperatures are not expected to make it out of the teens in some places with windchills well below zero. one musher in this year's iditarod had to fight up freezing temperatures and sleep. he nodded off while on the sled and only woke up when his face hit the ground. he tried to come up with a better story, but no luck. >> i had i had a great story about how a moose attacked me, i fell asleep. >> the dogs crossed the check point an hour before he did.

9:14 am
>> reporter: hurley got his start as an assistant coach in st. anthony's when he was just 19 years old. >> i became a probation officer as i became a varsity coach. because i got involved in that stuff, guys started to tell me stories and all the stories were back until they were 12, 13, 14 years old, and they start making bad decisions. and once they get off course, whatever the life potential was, was gone. >> reporter: tough love to the hard court. >> over the course of time, you decided, we had to enter into a contract. now i guess we're up to about 20 things. and it comes to everything. refrain from use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs of any kind. tattoos, get one after you're finished playing. clean cut appearances. no mohawks, facial hair, cell phone in school. you're suspended from the team. so that at the end of your four years, tough love has gotten you to a place where you can go to college. we take away some of your individualism when you don't know what to do wit
