"eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." i like it when grown men say this is what dreams are made of. a big case of yankee fever. not over yet. charlie is off but we have good coverage. jeff glor is here. >> thank you. one of the most solemn duty os any president, speaking to families of troops killed in action. the white house chief of staff kelly said he did not get a call from president obama when his son was killed in afghanistan. mr. trump brought it up in radio interview. >> the president is also accused of being insensitive in a phone call to the widow of a green beret killed in west africa earlier this month. she received the call while on the way to greet her husband's casket at the airport. >> details of the conversation come from a

call. margaret brennan is at the white house. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. president trump spoke last night to all four of those killed in niger and thanked them for their service, but in his own response he ignited another controversy. president trump frequently speaks of respect. on tuesday he thrust kelly into the spotlight to make a political point. >> you can ask general kelly did he get a call from obama. you could ask other people. don't know what obama's policy was. >> kelly who declined to comment made clear in the past he does not want his son robert's death exploited and speaks publicly about that. earlier this yeerlg president trump visited the grave and spoke to his loss. >>

our enemies. >> president trump claimed past commanders in chief did not call gold star family members. >> most of them didn't make calls. a lot of them didn't make calls. >> a claim swiftly refuted by presidents clinton, bush, and obama. he took ten days to publicly acknowledge the deaths of four green berets including sergeant david johnson. on tuesday his remains were transferred back to his widow in miami who also took a phone call. congresswoman fredericka wilson was there. >> he never referred to him as a hero. he said to the wife, well, i guess he knew what he was getting into. cbs news did reach out to myisha johnson, but she has not responded yet to our iny.

hasn't said exactly why it took 12 days for president trump to publicly acknowledge the death, but they did explain it often takes that amount of time, it took them until this monday to complete notification of kin and to vet the information before the president personally reached out. norah? >> all right. margaret brennan, thank you so much. the success or failure of a bipartisan fix for obamacare insurance markets could hinge on the white house. the president seemed to endorse a temporary plan from senators lamar alexander and patty yesterday. that move could raise premiums by 20% next year. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. good morning. >> it's presenting a market upheaval. it's also significant because

that they have cut a deal that can be viewed as fixing parts of obamacare. >> i'm grateful to the president for encouraging me on two occasions in phone calls to try to get a bipartisan agreement with senator murray. >> the republican chair of the senate health committee and his democratic down per part announced the plan would reduce premiums on the market and prevent millions from losing coverage. >> chairman alexander and i were able to find common ground on a number of steps to stabilize the markets. >> their plan would provide $106 million to promote obamacare enrollment, something the white house recently announced would be slash. the plan would also reinstate subsidies for insurance companies for two years, lowering the cost of coverage. president trump announced last week he would no longer authorize those payments. >> that money is going to insurance companies to lift up their stock price, and that's not what

>> but in the rose garden yesterday mr. trump seemed to endorse the bipartisan deal. >> lamar has been working very, very hard with the democratic -- his colleagues on the other side and patty murray is one of them in particular and they're coming up and they're fairly close to a short-term solution. >> hours later in a speech at the heritage foundation, the president seemed to change his tune. >> i continue to believe congress must find a solution to the obamacare mess instead of providing bailouts to insurance companies. >> last night president trump tweeted any increase in obamacare premiums is the fault of the democrats for giving us a product that never had the chance of working. some republicans will argue this deal simply props up on carry, a law they believe is debt stined to fail, but they have also been unable to far to pass a replacement, so for now, gayle, there are mill o

rely on the stability of these individual insurance markets. >> oh, boy. thank you very much, nancy. president trump is looking for a new drug czar nominee this morning. republican congressman tom marino withdrew yesterday saying the best course of action is to remove the distraction my nomination has created. he worked closely on a new law that weakened enforcement of opioid drug distributors. deputy rod rose rosenstein pro an investigation. >> that's an issue that is a priority for us. >> lawmakers are working on a new bill, giving regulators more tools to fight the opioid epidemic. president trump is firing back at senator john mccain. the president issued a warning yesterday to "the arizona republic" one day after mccain

policy as, quote, half-baked spurious nationalism. mr. trump responded in a radio interview at the white house. >> you heard what he said yesterday, senator mccain. >> yeah, i hear it. and people have to be careful because at some point i fight back. >> yeah. >> you know, i'm being very nice. i'm being very, very nice. but at some point i fight back, and it won't be pretty. >> when asked about that threat, mccain said he doesn't want to fight with the president. >> i don't comment on what the president says. i comment on what he does, and i will say na i have faced some pretty tough adversaries in the past. i'm not interested in confronting the president. i'm interested in working with the president. >> mccain said he will not let perj issues interfere with politics. >> harvey weinstein cut the last path. he resigned yesterday from the board of directors of the

he had retained his board seat despite being fired last week from running day-to-day operations. and this morning his brother bob weinstein is also facing a sexual harassment allegation. bianna golodryga shows us how the scandal could enter a new phase for the company. >> actually a legally damaged phase for the company. good morning. weinstein called in reportedly from a treatment facility in arizona. he has apologized for his past hurtful behavior but denies in behaving in any nonconsensual sex. nearly 60 women now accuse him of misconduct ranging from sexual harassment to rape. >> whatever stands in our way, we will defeat it. >> lena headey plays a role on "game of thrones." she says he

don't tell anyone about this, not your manager, not your agent. i got into my car and cried. on tuesday the company board ratified its decision to fire weinstein, a formality that he resign from the board that same day. his ouster does not protect the company from potential lawsuits. >> it's going to be the age-old question, what did the company know and when did it know it. >> allegations of sexual harassment across hollywood are growing. amazon studio chief roy price resigned amid his own sex scandal. after reese witherspoon spoke out that she was assaulted by an unnamed director when she was 16. >> i have my own experiences and they come back. >> on tuesday amanda segel says she was

weinstein's brother bob. >> bob weinstein was abusive with people within my company. >> and jeffrey katzenberg says he bullied his employees. >> bob weinstein's lawyers told "cbs this morning" it's false and misleading assertions by miss segel and we have the e-mails to prove it. he did not respond to jeffrey katzenberg's statement. it broadens the discussion beyond just the corridors of the weinstein company to others within the industry. >> it gets ugliyer and uglier. damage from california's deadly wildfires has topped $3 billion and the numbers cti

wineries were damaged after the fires broke out last week. adriana diaz is at a winery where it suffered immense damage. good morning, adrian na. >> reporter: as you can see here a west virginia ripped through this winery destroyed the work truck and vines behind it. we got a look at it above the air in a california national helicopter. >> i've never seen anything like this. this literally looks like a bomb hit the neighborhood. >> reporter: the wildfires burned entire neighborhoods. just when you think the destruction is over, we pass over the hill and there are more neighborhoods where houses have been completely decimated. >> huge expanses of vineyarded. they own the ancient oaks

winery. they not only lost the home his grandfather built but the vineyards. closed roads kept him away from his property. >> there were little paths where i'd want to pick them. >> he could face not only a loss of income but major expenses as well, things like ripping up the soil and replacing irrigation system. even grapes untouched by the flames could be tainted by the smoke affecting dozens of wineries. >> i would say there's probably 30 to 60 that have been heavily impacted. lewis perdue is a wine analyst. >> you have to realize there are close to some 900 wineries in napa and sonoma, so it's serious but not a killer blow to

industry. >> reporter: if there's any silver lining here, it's that 90% of the grapes in napa were already harvested before the fire started. they want people to know that the wine industry here is still open. those are the tasting rooms, the hotels, and the tour bus companies. >> adriana, thank you very much. china's president xi jinping says it's time for his country to take center stage in the world. he said, quote, there's a new choice for other countries. this summit happens every five years and determines who rules china and what direction the country will take. xi jinping is expected to continue to be in charge. a federal judge has blocked it for now. hawaii's attorney general claims the ban surrounding these countries would illegally keep

can he? >> i think partially. let's think about it. we've got a bull market. it started back in march of 2009. the first 90 monls of the bull market, that occurred under president obama. the most recent 11 months under trump. when he was first elected people thought the markets are going to go up, with ooh going to get infrastructure, tax reform and regulatory reform. we've only gotten a little regulatory reform. they say they will do something. >> how worried are you about how long this can last? >> i'm always worried. tomorrow marks the 30th anniversary of the crash of 1987. i hate to admit it. i was a young pup trader that month and it was scary. that day it dropped by 22% in one session. that's as if the dow dropped 5,000 points right now. that was

of various things, but the reality is those things are not present now. they could always happen. it's good to be defensive. don't take on too much risk. >> we'll recover. >> yes, but we don't want to have to go through it again. >> jill, thank you very much. the hotel security guard shot by stephen paddock speaks out for the first time.

♪ oprah invited 500 of her closest friends over to her home this weekend. they celebrate her new book. it's called "the wisdom of sundays." it's from her emmy award-winning series "super soul sunday." >> what's the number one rule to offering your most authentic self because this is really what we're all looking for. how do i become more of me? >> it's allowings yourself to be spontaneous instead of responding to how you think you're supposed to be. we even all ovechkined

>> on the show, that's tony robbins. there were spiritual thinkers including tony robert and his wife sage. they explore forgiveness and personal fulfillment. we're pleased to have "60 minutes" special contributor -- i love saying that -- oprah, sit up straight. good morning. >> good morning. glad to be back at the table. >> we're glad to have you at the table. do you want to say you were up late? >> we saw bruce springsteen last night. every time i think about it i was tearing up. >> he was so raw. >> it was so raw, so personal, so pure. you come away feeling more like a human being. >> it's a one-person show. >> yes. it's called bruce. >> and, jeff, he doesn't want

hard. >> i feel like my soul has been stirred and now wants to rise. it wasn't that moving? >> he's be good for "super soul sunday." >> he'd be good for anything. >> let's talk about "super soul sunday." you say without gary zsoo cover there wouldn't be a super soul sunday. >> i started doing these spiritual conversations where the producers were like, oh, god, we have to talk the spirituality thing. gary zoo cover was on to talk "seed of the soul." it was my intention to make that number one book on the bestseller's list. remember when "road less traveled." was on for eight years? i wanted that to become the next offering. he said something in the book about intex. we know what you put out is

what you put out is coming back, there's an intention behind what you put out. so i use that principle of intention actually for every one of my shows since 1989. i would sit with the producers and say when you present an idea to me, come clear and be clear about what your intention is and i have to find my intention within yours in order to sit in the seat and to do the interview. so those principles of living your life with a sense of integrity, with a sense of intention, gratitude, learning to forgive people for the mistakes they've made and you've made have helped me lead a more meaningful life. so i've interviewed these thousands -- not thousands, hundreds of people, feels like thousand, but had my own aha moments. >> don't you love when you have an aha moment? >> yes. >> i had an aha month reading this because you spoke of

yult. most think about god and you define the spirit as here. >> yes. because all of us are seeking the same thing. we share this desire to fulfill the highest expression of truth in ourselves and that's what spirit yult means to me. you know, i was having a conversation years ago with carolyn mays who had spoken on spirituality. i saw the audience eyes glazing over. i stopped the show and said, you're all not tracking. >> because you wonder are you talking about the holy spirit. >> moses, the disciples. so, no, you have the body, mind, spirit. it's all three. that's what this book is all about. >> and you know we have podcasts now. not only

people have downloaded them. >> i heard the podcasts are doing well. i love that people are listening to calming peaceful information that makes our lives bet owner the way to work or when they're working out or whatever. >> can we talk about this concept of disease? it was a little bit of what tony robbins was talking about about acting spontaneously and not the way you're supposed to act. we're talking about the disease to please. >> i don't have it anymore. may biggest problem was learning to say no and not saying yes when i really meant no like yes, uh-huh, uh-huh, yes. so learning to say no and learning that no is a complete sentence and that doing -- you know what changed that? was living from the principle of intention. so if you only do what you intend to do, you don't end up says yes to thinks you don't want to say yes to. >> that zukoff book really

it's one of the biggest influences. >> let's talk about harvey weinstein. you haven't spoken publicly about what's going on. >> i'm always trying to look for the rainbow in the cloud or the silver lining. this is what i know for sure. when something this major happens, when you have the fallout and 50 women coming forward, it's a watershed moment and what i i do believe is actually happening is first of all it's triggering a lot of unreleased pain, repressed anger, guilt, and suffering that a lot of women have had. i happened to be on set with several actresses the other day and we were filming some things and they were like -- they hadn't slept over a period of two or three days and i was like what is that. oh, you guys are suffering from ptsd. >> you start talking about it out loud. >> everybody has a story. and so i think this is a watershed moment.

harvey weinstein, then we will have lost this moment. i think this is a moment where no matter what business you work in, there have been women who not only had the disease to please, that's a part of it, but felt that in order to keep my job, in order to keep my positioning in order to keep moving forward, e even about got to smile, look the other way, i've got to pretend he dnld say that, pretend he didn't touch me. i think those days are about to be over. >> are over. and if it happens to you back in the day, sometimes you're not aware what he just said was inappropriate. >> i know you've had a couple of moments. yes, i remember, gayle had a moment when she came to me and said something that was so inappropriate i said, you can sue over that. i said, what did you say and they repeated it. i sat there typing. >> you pretend its okay. >> no, you're right, jeff. you're absolutely right. >> but a lot of women have been

>> i do think it's going to change, oprah. >> being a victim of child sexual abuse that when you feel like you cannot be heard and then other people start speaking out, it makes you feel like, oh, now, i can speak out too. >> and you've been speaking about it for years. >> can we talk about "60 minutes." it's so unusual for you to be in control for them to say, that was good, can you do it again? >> let me tell you. when you go to "60 minutes --" >> how are the screenings? >> you've got a screening. i had two screenings in one day because i have a story coming up this sunday, by the way. so i had two screenings, and i decided i'm not going to be nervous about the screening. >> good luck with that. >> i'm not going to be nervous about the screening. i love the process of sitting in a room and everybody ripping your stuff apart. i

they say, go back, make it better. jeff fagan has an ear and an eye like nobody else. >> i know. >> he is the real deal. and i'm learning from him. you can reframe that. take that out. why did you use that word and not that word. i find it fascinating. i'm like yes, sir, no, sir. >> oprah, briefly tell us what your piece is about because i think you can break news here. >> about my piece? >> 20/20, i'm wondering if you've narrowed down your vp candidates that. >> she's lost her mind. >> 20/20, e was thinking of the show. people ask it all the time. even i'm thinking the rules have changed about running for president. >> i said i would give my first born and kirby said,

hey. >> you can be sure there will be no running of office of any kind for me. you can ask me about my piece. >> the clock is ticking as you know. >> okay. john peck is saying we've got to go. >> "the wisdom of sundays" is on sale now. it's really good.

it. for a lot of people they're like, what is the connection between opioid and heroin crisis. 80% of heroin users start with a prescription drug. if you want to get at the supply chain here, you're got to go at the pharmaceutical industry. we're undeter by these big pharmaceutical lobbyists. >> what disturbing you most, josh? >> i think what disturbs me most is how reckless and callous they've been. they want to turn a profit, seepingly turning a blind yeah to the fact that these pills are being dumped in the communities. especially the rural communities. it's upsetting. >> i want to point out one of the distribution company use're investigating and was named in the "60 minutes" report

health says this. -- specifically what are you investigating that the distributors may be doing? are they breaking a law potentially? >> potentially. that's what our investigation is seeking to goat get to the bottom of. >> or is it the laws? >> certainly we need tougher laws. we need washington to actually do something to help us, but we're not waiting on congress. we're not waiting on the president. we're working hard in the states. 41 state attorneys general coming togetheret when have you heard that, folks coming together. >> it reminds me of big tobacco. who are the targets then of these 41 attorneys general? >> the three distributor that you cite and the five manufacturers. you asked a really important question. what did thee distributors potentially do wrong. let's take an example. you have a pharmacy somewhere in

highly addictive oxy owe doans to the pharmacies and then all of a sudden it's 10,000 and 50,000 and 100,000 pills. you know, there's a responsibility on these distributors to actually look it into and flag it and report it. >> what about the doctors prescribing these pills. >> absolutely. look. we've doubled the number of arrests of doctors in my office in pennsylvania who are diverting or taking these illegal pills and using them for unlawful uses. we're going after them. but you have to hold them accountable and that's what we're doing in this investigation. >> we should mention we did reach out to the manufacturers it did name in the lawsuit. they're cooperating. perdue and endo have not responded. they farmly believe the allegations in these lawsuits are both legally and factually unfounded. your response. >> first off, we haven't filed lawsuit yet and those are just a lot of words.

look, we see them every day. we sit across from them. we're not afraid of them. it's aided by the "60 minutes" report. we're going to get to the bottom of it, change it and get to the bottom. >> how much legal ground do you believe you have versus how much moral force you think you can bring to this? >> i think we have both. we have plenty of laws in our states that are going to enable them to hold these folks accountable, recover for our respective states and more importantly we change corporate behavior. we cannot continue to lose the lives we're losing in the united states of america and the united states of america history has affordable laws and they're going to hold them account snoobl we can certainly hear their passion, josh shapiro. thank you. >> friday in our "issues that matter" series, house speaker paul ryan will be here in studio 57. we're going to be talking about the issue of tax
