yesterday. he needs surgery to correct an eye condition that could cause blindness. >> this little boy was born weighing 1 pound, three ounces. he's been on a ventilator since he was born. dr. jon lapook. >> we both watched the plane take off. how does it feel? >> it feels great. it's so emotional. the baby is about to die. it has a chance, and the only chance was on that plane. >> a little bit of good news there. the baby is expected to spend months in the hospital. congressman steve scalia says he's expected -- excited, i should say, to be back in the people's house. scalise received a roaring ovation as he walked onto the house floor. it was the first time back after he was shot and severely wounded at a baseball practice in

he was on the house floor when he had a tearful reunion. >> look who's here. >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my gosh. the speaker. >> back. it's so good to see you. man, oh, man, it's been a long time. oh. this is just great. i'm sorry. jennifer, oh. >> it literally brought the speaker to his knees to hug him. it was really emotional. it looked like mrs. scalise was comforting him like it's okay. it was so beautiful to see the connection between the two. >> there's lots more to come in terms of the reporting we've done on this story. you can see that on "60 minutes" with house majority whip steve scalise on

john dickerso ryan yesterday after a town hall in pennsylvania. they discussed how the experience in the house chamber affected many members of congress. >> today steve scalise came back to the house. what was that like? >> i haven't cried in a while and i cried -- it was so -- -- it was a beautiful moment for us. we've had so much bitterness in this country. we've had critical acrimony. we went through a tough election. we're going through all these moments. and steve scalise was shot on a ball diamond practicing for a charity game. and in congress, it made us look at each other, hello, human beings. we're passionate about congress but we respect each other and seeing steve

dying a few times, to walk, multiple surgeries, and be on the floor, wit as beautiful thing. it was so -- it gave us all a great feeling because so many of us have been praying for steve and his family, but it also was unifying. >> their conversation toucheded on many pressing issues including tax reform. john dickerson is with us this morning. good morning, john. >> good morning, charlie. >> is it possible when there's so much divide among congress that this outpours of affection could slip into politics? >> you certainly hope so. so many know what it's like to have this anger directed at them. they not only felt for a friend, felt the joy of his return and touched on the best feelings of sort of working together, but they also know that this is something ta they all face in one way or another. >> and then they just had an election in alabama which put republicans against republicans. >> right. and you know a lot of the hot

showed uts the worst end o that, and so they all kind of think, well, we even kind of settled back. the problem is, of course politics take over again and people forget these moments unfortunately. >> so you were with paul ryan at a pipe-fitting manufacturing plant in pennsylvania. how is he selling this tax plan to workers? >> the way he's selling it is saying this is a middle-class tax cut. and they said, wait a minute, why is it going to the ceos. >> he argues he lowered the tax rates for corporations, they'll put that money back into wages and investment. that's the thing there will be a lot of debate about because a lom of people say it won't necessarily go back to the worker but that's how he's making his pitch. >> what are the tax cuts? >> you have to do the math. it's not a bill yet. it's a framework. part of the reason they're pitching the framework iss

until you get down to the very numbers. paul ryan said the objective here, and it will fail if it's not done. the challenge is the middle class will get some relief, but there will be some people at the other end who will get big relief, people who have great investments in the stockmarket and those numbers and that disparity will be what the political conversation is. >> and it adds to the debt, which is a big republican issue in the past. >> it does. aed the argument will be, well, that growth that will be created by these tax cuts will fix the debt problem and there, of course, will be a violent debate about that because that assumes things are going to turn out well and move faster than growth has been going and a lot of economists say that's not possible with the economy or if it gets going the fed will say, wait a minute, don't grow so fast, raise rates, and it will keep this great revenue

coming. >> what are the democrats saying? >> they're saying no. you know, the central question is whether the system is tilted to those who have already gotten the good stuff over the last many year and whether they had lobbyists and accountn'ts, they can keep the system tilted to their advantage. democrats say that's what the bill does and others are saying, no, we're trying to rebalance the people who haven't been helped if the past 20 years be u right now democrats are not even part of the conversation. we'll see if the republicans and president let them in. >> thank you. you can see john's interview on sunday only on face the nation. plus senate majority leader chuck schumer and cbs contributor bob schieffer. that's sunday on cbs. >> another big show for john dickerson. thank you for taking the time. actress julia louis-dreyfus is getting support from fellow stars after she reveals she has breast cancer.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." first up, our green room. you never know who's there first. peter greenberg. we know him. hello, peter greenberg and mark feuerstein. looking forward to it. right now it's time to show you the headlines from around the globe. britain's "the telegraph" reveals a nude mona lisa. it was supposedly drawn by leonardo's students. they conclude it was done in

part by leonardo himself. remare to the face and hands. >> i'll have to ask isaac about that. >> is that a woman? my eyesight is not that good. >> that's a woman. you can tell by the breast area. those are nonman boobs. you saw, that, too, charlie. a woman was ordered by a judge to vaccinate her 9-year-old son. the order stems from a custody case with her ex-husband. sh's concerned about possible harm to her son from giving too many vaccines all at one time. she would rather go to jail than back down hchl next hearing is on wednesday. days before the new supreme court term, justice stephen breyer talking about the possibility of putting cameras inside court.

the behavior ofye justices during oral argument. >> you all think that you're immune from changing your behavior because the press is always there, after all. they're always in the room. they hear the oral argument. they're right in front of us. and i think i say what i think unfortunately. i sometimes say thing s that ar idiotic but i'll get over it. wait till you see yourself on television for the first time with a picture and they're saying something, you're saying those words, and it's quite clear to you at the time you meant the opposite. but what they're doing is they're putting it in such a way that in context it looks as if you're doing something really unfortunate. wait till you see that. once you see it, you will watch what you say much more carefully, and i don't want to watch what i say. i want to say what i think and find out. >> but brier said he does think cameras will

inside the court. i'm familiar with this argument but i have to tell you it really got me thinking in a different way last night. he wants to judge a case by what he sees -- excuse me, by what he reads, not by what he sees and he wants people to see the court's decision that way too. it might allow for a more objective reading of the law so you're not judging somebody by what they look like. >> i do think ka rahs change your tone and behavior if you're not used to being on tv. >> the other side of that argument is you get used to it and it doesn't have that effect. at some point they forget the cameras are there. turning now to this revealing the cost after three hurricanes in the united states and the caribbean could reach hundreds of billions of dollars. harvey drenched coastal texas on august 25th. ir ma made landfall on september 10th and ten days later, maria slammed into puerto ri

years and the local economy. cbs travel editor peter greenberg is here with what travelers. >> ed to know. good morning. >> good morning. >> what should we know in. >> in the long term it's worse than you think. traveling and tourism is 11% of global gdp. so that's an average. but in these territories and districts in island nations, it's much liar than that. the u.s. travel association rounded the numbers. in puerto rico alone a 50% drop in tourism is more than $5 billion less than travelers spenl. even more important, 36,000 jobs lost. that means over a two year period. that's revenue they'll never recoup. >> what options do people have. sorry about your voice. >> that's okay. >> it doesn't hurt you. >> no. >> what are the option

can you go some place else in the area and not get gouged? >> the answer to the question is you can more or less get your money back if you paid with a credit card. but if you bought travel experience, you had to buy it before the storm was actually named. that's a very difficult determination but you have to do that. the real problem for your second question is the law of supply and demand. as people realize now, they're not going to go to those destinations like st. martin, st. john, puerto rico, they're going to look for places outside the hurricane belt. curasol, barbados, grenada. airlines have capped their fees to those affected areas. it means airfares are going up, hotel prices and let's factor this. jet fuel prices are up 50% since june. so i'm not going to beur

my family comes to the show. >> before that, how did you get turned into acting? i think i read somewhere you were with princeton and you thought about international relations or law. >> yes. i would have been talking to you on a different front for many years. but i have been following the track to get into aed into college and the track as a new york private school kid to get into a law school and was trying to 3wi8d a resume at all times and one day fate just took me to an audition for a play, and it changed my life. i was just so inspired. >> you felt like that was home. >> it just felt right, yeah. whether it was the rush of making people laugh or cry or just telling stories, i fell in love with it. i did 15 plays at college, went to london to study acting and here i am. >> what did your parents say? >> they were not thrilled at first but they were incredibly important. did not know that. only behind my back. we sent you to a great college

but they've been so great. >> and then you've got linda lavin and elliott gould playing your parents. what is it like for your parents to see them playing you? >> they're so thrilled. the two of them have an amazing chemistry. there was an awkward moment during the topicology f the pilot when the character of my mother yells aet the character of my brother, she says, you don't like to visit with me and i turn to my mother and yell, neither do ile and they yell cut. i run to my mon and say, of course i love to visit with you. this is a tv show. of course, my favorite thing is to sit with you and talk about the day's events. >> and your daughter is a critic. >> all day yesterday my father and i cooked my mother's spaghetti on the rachael ray show. they're very supportive.
