coicmmunate. >> jerry jones changed his mind. >> and the theory that president trump's tweets or threats could be misinterpreted by kim junong- and that could lead to some sort of unintended military conflict. >> the white house insists no classified information was involved. it also says it's aware of the legal imperative of keeping legal and government communications separate. >> obamacare, the bill to replace it appears to be dead. >> did you hear about london banning uber? uber is vowing to come back better than ever. in addition to uber pool and uber x london customers will have the option by a flying

nann nanny. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. puerto rico's governor says there could be a mass exodus of people to the united states. food, water, gas and electricity are still scarce six days after hurricane maria tore across the island. power may not be restored for months. >> satellite imagery on a normal night with electricity to what they looked like sunday night without power in many places. president trump tweeted puerto rico which was already broken from massive debt is in deep trouble. he added, much of the island was destroyed. we're in san juan with a warning that conditions could get worse. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. hundreds of people are waiting at the airport in san juan this morning yet again trying to get off the
8:03 am
there have been reports of price gouging but we can tell you this. representatives from at least delta and american say they have capped the prices so that gouging doesn't happen. when it comes to telecommunications it's impossible to make a call on the island unless you're in san juan. a top executive at the telecommunications alliance sent a letter to president trump warning that the grid could go dark unless there is fuel for generators. the agriculture industry has been severely affected. trees are naked everywhere around the island. the governor says it's going to take a year for the agriculture industry to rebuild. supplies are arriving. millions of bottles of water, fema says, hundreds of thousands of pounds of food but we continue to ask where is the distribution happening? so far they've not provided us with an opportunity to get into those areas, to get video,
8:04 am
show the american people what is happening on the ground here. fema's administrator spoke yesterday standing along the governor. they complemented each other and they both complemented president trump. they took no questions saying this is one of the worst hurricanes to hit puerto rico and they've got a long road ahead of them. senate republicans will meet today to decide what is next for their collapsing health care bill. collins became the fourth republican to oppose the plan. a congressional budget office found the graham cassidy bill would reduce the budget deficit by $133 billion by 2026. >> but it estimates the number of people covered by insurance would be reduced by millions in part because of medicaid cuts. >> if you want a hearing you better shut up.
8:05 am
>> senator hatch tried to quiet protesters yesterday. the protesters opposed medicaid cuts, some in wheelchairs were the room. >> president trump says it was big progress that the cowboys all stood up for our national anthem. the cowboys and owner jerry jones linked arms and kneeled on the field before the anthem last night. jones is a trump supporter and had criticized pregame protests. fans booed the team but during the anthem the cowboys and cardinals stood with their arms linked. mike pence backed up the president's criticism while campaigning for luther strange last night. he says it's not too much to ask nfl players to stand for the anthem. lebron james supports players who take a knee during the anthem but says he'll use his voice to speak out instead. james called president trump a quote, bum over the weekend for
8:06 am
invitation to the nba champion golden state warriors. >> he doesn't understand how many kids, no matter the race, look up to the president of the united states for guidance, for leadership, for words of encouragement. he doesn't understand that. and that's what makes me more -- that's what makes me more sick than anything. we know this is the greatest country in the world. it's the land of the free, but we still have problems just like everybody else and when we have those problems we have to figure out a way how we come together and be as great as we can be as a people because the people run this country, not one individual. and damn sure not him. >> james also says he was frustrated the president used sports to try to divide the country. >> he was one of the first people to say that sports is a great
8:07 am
we are talking about two separate issues here and i think as long as they keep pointing that out maybe we'll stay on track with it one discussion at a time. >> frustrating to watch it. target says it will increase pay to more than double the federal minimum wage for hourly employees. pay for target's workers could mean a better experience for the customers. but will it mean higher prices to
8:08 am

and here he is today. >> boy, how things have changed. >> he's in our toyota green room. ahead, his new book on how the company evolved since then and what he sees for its future. you're watching "cbs this morning."

they're all right here. >> one, two, three. bill gates introduces a new ceo of microsoft. his name is satya nadella. after working at microsoft for 22 years. since then he's generated $250 billion worth in market value for microsoft. he discusses his personal and professional journey of transforming the company. imagine a better future for everyone. >> bill gates writes in the forward, we have fallen behind google and have a fly in our own studio. our original search team has moved on. satya was part of the group that came in to turn things around. he was humble, forward looking and prague mattic. we welcome satya nadella to t
8:14 am
welcome this morning. >> thank you so much. >> to change a culture is not easy. how do you do it? and what are you looking to create? >> you know, when a company is successful, one of the things that happens is the concept that got you started in the first place, the capability that you have and the culture all get into this beautiful lock and things are going well and lo and behold you need to come up with a new concept, a new idea for which need new capability. that's when the culture has to be at its preem mmiupremium. the culture needs to build new capabilities so for companies to be successful over a long period of time you need more than a good idea and a good strategy. >> and the capacity to refresh all the time. >> that's correct. the fact that everything that starts off and goes into hyper growth ultimately does taper off. the real question is, what do you do when that happens? how do
8:15 am
real challenge for us as individuals, us as companies or us as societies. >> so one of the things that starts with you and for you it meant empathy which is such a great concept. jeff weiner, i think it's a great romance between the two of you. both talk about empathy a lot and you cite in your book two really strong examples of how your life was changed and how it carries with you today. >> empathy is everything. if you think about even in the business context for us, our job is to meet the unmet, unarticulated needs of customers. there's no way we could innovate without having the deeper sense of empathy. >> so what happened to you? >> the interview, my interview at microsoft, the very last question, the last interviewer asked me, what would you do if there was a child who had fallen on the road? i thought there was some
8:16 am
call 911. and he gets up and leaves. he tells me, when a child is on the ground, you pick them up and hug them. that is my first big lesson on empathy. >> it changed your life. >> it's not some innate capability. i believe that your life's experiences will teach you if you listen and at least in my case that's what. whether it's that interview question, the birth of my son and every day at microsoft, i learn about building a deeper insight to be able to see through those eyes. >> your son has severe cerebral palsy. >> he was born 21 years ago with asphyxiation which led to cerebral palsy. and for me it was more like why did this happen to me but it was only watching my wife for whom it came much more naturally to
8:17 am
nothing happened to me. something happened to him and what my job was as a father and that realization perhaps more than anything else shaped my outlook in the years to come. >> it's interesting because microsoft, you think about them being a leader in innovation and you write in the book that in the smart phone era microsoft had failed to lead and barely managed to participate. and the c in ceo is for culture. how does culture change innovation? >> for me, a company that is successful and to continue to be successful in something like high tech for a long time you'll have your hits and misses. if i look back 43 years ago when the company got started to here we are with a whole new set of competitors at any new given point in time, the question is have you caught enough waves even if you missed one or two. that's the real question and that's where the culture
8:18 am
allows you to learn from your mistakes and still grow, then you are doing something right. >> you talk about when you wanted to get to your employees, the morale was low, people felt they had lost their cool factor. you have a specific call at 6:02 so you can talk to everybody and you want them to know what? this is what we're going to do. >> to me it is not how much we had lost our cool factor, it's more about being in touch with our core sense of purpose and identity. if you look at it, microsoft is different from a lot of other companies in the sense our first product was the basics and what it telegraphs for me is we create technology so that others can create more technology. we're a tool maker and in a world today where every walk of life and e
8:19 am
shaped by technology, our original pieces is even more important and i wanted to be in touch with it. >> also the success of tech companies has made them powerful and there is much conversation today about putting them on the very, very strict scrutiny. are you worried about that? >> i think that any company that has done well has a significant foot fingerprint especially multinationally. i think it's super important for us to think about the surplus we create around us. i think -- when i think about microsoft, one of the things that gives me the greatest pride whether i'm in new york area or any part of the world is the small businesses that are more productive. the large businesses that have become more competitive. the public sector that's more efficient. the educational outcomes that are better because of the work we do. until we measure ourselves with the outcomes outside of our own balance sheet i think there's no long-term success in business. >>
8:20 am
a look at what the consequences are to technological innovation. >> well, third ceo, bill gates, now you. congratulations. >> thank you so much. and hit refresh is on sale today. the race to host amazon's second headquarters is heating un. cities unrolling some unusual incentives. how one tried to mail amazon's ceo a giant cactus. plus, a wedding photo shoot takes an unexpected turn. how the groom saved a little boy from drowning. hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent,

find it in a subaru crosstrek. the you on board the international space station took this incredible video of the northern lights over northern america. the video begins over the california coast, moves on to north dakota and then to quebec when the daybreaks. wow, it gets prettier and prettier. it was sighted on september 15th from near the highest point of the space station's orbit. it's a fairly common phenomenon for astronauts aboard the space station. okay. welcome back to "cbs this morning." are we going to the green room? >> nope, we're not.
8:31 am
okay. but art garfunkel is there. >> i think what we might do is go look at some headlines. >> i'm game if you are. >> okay. these are headlines from around the globe. the miami herald reports the keys will officially reopen to tourists on sunday. hurricane irma smashed into the keys more than two weeks ago. by yesterday water and power had been restored to most locations. britain's telegraph reports on a pioneering nerve experiment. a man is reportedly able to follow an object with his eyes and turn his head on request. the findings may challenge the view that a vegetative state that lasts more than a year is reversible. the benefits of early childhood education and health benefits may last longer than a lifetime.
8:32 am
may have positive effects on their children as well. access to head start led to higher high school graduation rates for future generations and it also reduced criminal behavior and positive implications for the economy and the overall work force. and cities are working overtime to woo amazon to build a second headquarters. it's looking for a second location. tucson trued to send a cactus to amazon's ceo. in philadelphia business school stuntss a stun students are pitching to amazon and the mayor of ottawa flew to headquarters to walk as close as publicly is possible. >> hillary clinton opened up about former fbi james comey and his role in the 2016 presidential election. she revealed why she thinks comey reopened the investigation iner
8:33 am
before the voting. >> he was under pressure from rudy giuliani, others, both former and current fbi officials. i mean giuliani announced two days before the 28th something big is coming in two days. >> and you assume that's what it was? >> sure. it happened two days later. >> but you're saying he folded under pressure and made a decision that he knew would derail your candidacy. >> ask yourself this. he did that to me when there were other ways he could have -- if he thought there was anything there to be investigated he could have asked me if i had any objection. he could have asked others if they had any objection. he could have done it without some big letter announcement to the congress which he knew would leak. at the very same time he is not at all talking about the investigation that had been started inru
8:34 am
he would not join with the department of homeland security and the director of national intelligence. >> did he even disclose at that investigation? >> he did not disclose. >> why did you think that was true? >> you know what he has said? it was too close to the election which makes no sense at all. on october 7th which was a big day in the campaign it started with secretary johnson from homeland security and gym clapper from national intelligence saying we're concerned about activities by the russians and people thought it was primarily about the dnc hack. we now know they knew a lot more, but we didn't know that at the time. then the hollywood access tape comes out. within one hour russians through wikileaks dumped the headlines and created a diversion which then las
8:35 am
of the campaign. >> well, she's fired up still. >> she believes that, hey, there have been -- many people have suggested that the comey letter had an impact. whether in fact it was a decisive impact or not, others can judge, but he believes that he had -- or she says the central question, what was his motive and why did he act the way he did. >> she's saying it was deliberate. >> seems like there's a lot of headlines in that interview. >> she was very animated too. >> you can see more of the conversation tonight on my pbs program. target vows to increase its hourly wages to more than double the target minimum. it will boost wages to $15 an hour over the next three years. the impact will affect thousands of its more than 300,000 employees and more than 100,000 season workers. target works to pull itsel
8:36 am
melody is in chicago. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> first question i have for you, what will it mean for the cost of goods at target? will they go up as well? >> interestingly, what the company is saying is that prices are going to go down, not up and we're seeing this in a lot of stories in retail right now where lowering prices is a priority. we saw it with amazon when they purchased whole foods. so they're saying it won't go up. in fact, they will go down and what they need is scale. more sales. >> so raising it to $11 an hour, how does it compare to their competitors? >> it would rank them number five amongst the big box retailers with costco leading the charge at 13 miles an hour. nordstrom and then home depot and then target. retailers who have $500 million in sales or more, the average hourly rates
8:37 am
>> are we simply going to see across the board most companies, a push towards but not there, $15 an hour? >> i think the bottom line, i don't know if it's 15 or 14 or 13, but the bottom line is these wages are going up. one reason is because we're at virtually full employment at 4.3% for our unemployment rate. the other thing is at this level it's not necessarily so hard to get the people. it's hard to keep them. these are entry level jobs where someone will leave for a 24 cent per hour increase and go to another employer. they also want to try another career path. they need a way to keep these people so telegraph going to making more money and having a career path. >> incentive for a better work force? >> absolutely and also to go up
8:38 am
their asset which many see as their liability is the store. they want to make sure when you walk in that store you're not lost. you can get what you need and you can get a good customer experience. and there's a direct corelation between a happy employee and higher customer satisfaction. >> that would make sense but there's sometimes pushback to raising the minimum wage. what's the downside as some see it? >> the downside is it leads to further unemployment because companies can't afford it, but this train has left the station. the federal minimum wage is $7.25. we're talking about $11 going to 15. we've seen some states like washington and massachusetts go to 11. people recognize you have to pay more. >> all right. always good to see you. thank you very much for joining us from chicago this morning. art garfunkel's voice has been described as angelic and haunting but as h

at five i would sing to myself and i've heard a lovely thing and i felt, this is god's gift to me. it gave me a spirituality to singing right from the earliest age. so you share it with others. as jewish boy i would sing in a temple. it had a big high ceiling so the reverb was wonderful. i was entranced with that sound. >> did you have confidence you could do it solo after you and paul split? >> i didn't know if the world would accept me but i knew i could survive without paul. >> what's your relationship with paul? >> i would say it's intense, it's like a marriage, it has
8:47 am
summers and winters. it waxes and wanes, it is best not talked about. you leave it alone. sometimes you get a call from paul and out of nowhere something funny goes on and you laugh and you go, i miss him and then you hang out, have a dinner -- >> is it a lot of pressure to come back together? >> i don't call it pressure. it's standard to be asked will you work together? and i always say i don't know. life is a surprise. now days i say no, we won't. >> this book is kind of a travel log and as you note, it's a diary of sorts. books you've read, poems, all sorts of different things. what is all but luminous? >> it's as if you're walking and you are so entranced by the beauty of everything you tear up and in the blurry vision of tearing up, what is it all but luminous? it's a
8:48 am
>> it's not your typical thing. you talk about records that have changed your life, the beatles here and everywhere, but then you said scarboro fair. >> it's songs that changed your life. when we did that one i thought it just came out lovely and these things are new to the world and they're new to your own ears first. you know, i heard simon and garfunkel before the world did. so it felt to me like the best, most flowing, most organic thing we ever recorded. >> where would you put" bridge over troubled water." >> top five, top three. i'm the producer of our records. i go into the control room and i mix and balance the music and the backing, the instrumentation and i'm very proud and pleased with how "bridge over troubled
