>> wait. wait. who? who? >> charlie rose. >> i didn't know if we were supposed to call you sir rose. we saw you get your award in london. congratulations. >> i was humbled because the people who were also being honored were much more renowned and accomplished. >> no, they weren't. it was a very august group and we're so glad you're back. with don't have to call you sir charles, i just want to be clear. >> no, no, you don't. >> all right, charlie rose, you're back. >> i'm thinking your eminence. >> that works. we can do that. president is applauding republicans. it allows for large-scale tax cuts and reform which will be the biggest in our country. >> the move will allow them to advance a bill. the budget plan adds $1.5 trillion to the federal deficit over ten years.

their tax plan will cost. it still has to be wreck sized with a house budget plan that does not increase the deficit. >> senators want more information about the deadly ambush. mccain said he'll use s&ps inub if he has to. pentagon faces questions why one of them, sergeant la david johnson, wasn't found until two days after the mission. they strongly deny he was left on the military battlefield saying they do not leave u.s. troops behind. >> john kelly slammed democratic congresswoman frederica wilson for saying president trump was insensitive to a wife of one of the soldiers killed in niger. >> tal

calls the family receives are the most important phone calls and that is from their buddies. in my case, my son's friends were calling us from afghanistan telling us what a great guy he was. those are the only phone calls that really matter. some presidents have elected to call. all presidents, i believe, have elected to send letters. if you elect to call a family like this, it is about the most difficult thing you can imagine. i said to him, sir, there's nothing you can do to lighten the burden on these families. >> let me tell you what i told him. let me tell you what my best friend joe dunford told me because he was my casualty officer. he said, kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. he knew what he was getting into by joining

he knew what the possibilities were because we're at war. and when he died in the four cases we're talking about. jer and afghanistan, whelp he died, he was surrounded by the best men on earth, his friends. that's what the president tried to say to four families the other day. it stuns me that a member of congress would have listened in on that conversation, absolutely stuns me. and i thought at least that was sacred. you know, when i was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country. i appeal to america that let's not let this maybe last thing that's held sacred in our society, a young man, young woman going out and giving his or her life for our country, let's try to somehow keep that

>> wow. kelly said when his son was killed, then president obama did not call him, but he said that was not meant to be a criticism. congresswoman wilson says she stands by her story. >> i've never seen a news conference like that. the graphic detail he gave, what happens when a body returns home was so touching and so raw and so physical. you could physically feel his pain watching through the tv screen. you see the words he said. i think president trump was trying to say that. >> that's an important context. i know that was hard. he doesn't like to talk publicly about his son. he said, can we please keep that sacred. he talked about the selfless sacrifice of those in the military. we still have many in harm's way and to remember that, and i thought it was really important context. i'm so glad he came out. >> to bring it back to london, i spoke to a navy s.e.a.l. and he

when you talk to soldiers from the battlefield, the people they care most about, and they're fighting with people, colleagues, men and women they serve with, those are the people. he said the calls from those are what are most warming and necessary to the parents. >> even to the question, charlie, he wanted to speem with people who knew the gold star family experience. it was very touching. you're right, norah. >> in "make your bed every day," he talked about his own inadequacy of making that call to people and he talked in the book that general kelly was good at making the call because he knew the sacrifice personally. it's hard unless you've gone through that statement thing, but general kelly has been through that. >> and the president evidently said that he said. >> the words weren't delivered as well. but he put it all in context for us, i thought.

believes his colleagues will pass a sweeping tax plan in early november. ahead in "issues that matter," paul ryan will join us at the table with how realistic that

sell or go public. he said let's go build the leading digital brands out there and it was not difficult to resist. >> you're hoping walmart. >> they acquired jet. >> jet was what? >> an attempt to build an amazing brand. bonobos is oven the men's side. they said let's build a digital brand and mod cloth. and the chance to build that with our team was too exciting to pass up. >> look. here's the thing. >> you do know jeff bezos. >> i've heard of him. but when you think about digital, it's happened. it used to be about selling other people's brands. bonobos, you could build a brand

do it across a collection is really what excited us. >> what are you learning from the brick and mortar stores? >> when we started we would have said brick and mortar is over, it's dead. what we discovered halfway in, offline's not dead. it's just changing. it's all about the experience, one to one-experience, but you don't need the inventory in the store. you can fill that through e-commerce. what you put in is this great one to one-experience. >> they're looking to add lord & taylor to its website. can you tell us anything about that? >> if you think about it, one strategy has been let's have one big site. what you're learning from walmart and modcloth and others is shopping at the sites they

make it not just about men but mankind. >> is it about the definition of masculinity? >> i think so. you think about it. the one i have at home with equal partners and you think it's okay for guys in fashion to express their style, to express their individualality and we thought it could be about something greater for bonobos. >> i think you should put yourself in an ad. >> what's your wife's name? >> manuela. >> thank you, andy. >> congrats. >> thanks. a black lab trained to sniff bombs was dropped from the cia program because she just wasn't into it. ahead, a surprise happy ending for lulu the dog

don't think i've seen this many new york liberals, this many wall street ceos in one room since my last visit to the white house. welcome back to "cbs this morning." conversation's already started because no one was safe from house speaker paul ryan's address last night. he delivered the keynote address. the republican took jabs at both sides of the aisle. >> wisconsin is a fantastic place to visit in the fall. looking back, someone probably should have told hillary clinton that fact. every morning i wake up in my office and i scroll twitter to

pretend i did not see later on. >> that played very well in the room. the annual fund-raiser brings religious and political leaders together to raise money for catholic charities. >> house speaker paul ryan joins us. he's part of ow ongoing series "issues that matter." this morning we're looking at tax reform. overnight the senate clearedty way for a budget. good morning. >> good morning. >> it's done? >> the senate was perfect yesterday. >> the budget vote. >> the budget vote. that gets us on track for doing what we call reconciliation for our plans to pass tax reform. our plan's in place and we're romming down the track. the whole reason is increase people's paychecks, higher wages, faster economic growth, healthier economy, and more jobs. that's what we're excited about and we're really pleased the senate made the heavy lifting. >> are you making the case

>> that's why we introduced it. the cuts go to the middle class. this is about the people -- half the people are living paycheck to paycheck and giving them a break on their taxes, giving them some tax relief and closing loopholes which disproportionately affect. by plugging the loopholes you make it fair and simpler for everybody and we also think it's important for our businesses. bring the money back from oversea. make their tax rates competitive with the rest of the world so you have incentive to stay in america and make things in america. that's the focus of the tax rae form. >> the president said this income tax plan will not benefit his family. he said, believe me, it will not. how can we believe him, mr. speaker, if we can't -- >> i don't know the answer to your question, gayle. i don't know how his business is exactly structured. >> do you think that's

>> i think what he's going at -- the president has been the one who's been very insist tent we introduce what's called a fourth bracket. don't lower the income for hire income people. that's what he's talking about. the cuts are going to the higher middle-class. >> can you give us the details on what they'll be? >> yeah, i can give you three. 12% bracket. people who are currently in the 10% bracket, that goes to zero. people in 15% bracket go down to 12%. a 25% bracket and 35% bracket and the fourth bracket that the president and others are talking about that we're going to do, we're working on it. now that we have a budget resolution, we want to make sure we get a final resolution between the house and senate. once we get that budget resolution, that tells us how our numbers will work and then we'll introduce the bill with the fourth bracket so we don't have big tax brackets and then

middle class tax cut. >> one of the things that the president plan does is eliminates the federal property tax. our crew here, many of them live in new jersey -- since you can't deduct your state and local, that would, in new jersey, this would add about $3,500 for every family. that's a huge -- when you talk about people link paycheck to paycheck. that's not a middle-class tax cut. >> you've got congress. >> let me make this point. i don't want to get off the point. here's the deal. this going to be designed to lower tax rates for people in the middle, not at the high end. let's take this in perspective. you double the standard deduction, they don't have to itemize. you lower it, that means less of their income is being taxed. you increase the child tax

everybody in the middle class and on the point you just mentioned, norah, this is what the ways and means committee is looking at. how do we make sure that middle-class taxpayers in new jersey, wisconsin, whatever, make sure they benefit in the net. so they ben fi. the goal is look at it in its totality. we want to make sure've in these states that you mentioned that have discreet issues, they, too, benefit but those benefits don't go to high income earners so we don't have a big tax break drop for the wealthy folks so the focus goes on the middle class. >> but mr. speakering gary cohen said he can't guarantee the middle-class won't guarantee that the taxes won't go up. can you make the guarantee? >> when we get the numbers which will be finalized in the matter of days, then we can put the whole bill out. if this was a tax increase on the middle-class, we wouldn't be doing this. ths

taxes in the middle-class, simplifying the tax system and growing this economy. >> why can't you make the guarantee? >> gary cohnen says he can't mae it. >> i don't know why he's saying. >> can you convince bob corker? >> absolutely. we've had very good -- >> did you get him to vote? >> he voted yesterdayle that budget yesterday is from the senate's perspective paived the way. there's two things we're going to do here. number one, when you take away a carveout, that broadens the tax base. guess who disproportionately does it, wealthy and well connected. you get rid of those loopholes, you can lower the rates and it's fair for everybody. also what we learned is when you lower tax rates and help people living paycheck to paycheck and put american businesses on a level playing

faster economic growth, more jobs, more tax revenues, and those two things, get rid of loopholes, faster economic growth, better revenue and more growth so we don't have a deficit problem. look. we're republicans. we're servive to the deficit. two things we need to do, spending and economic growth. faster revenues and faster growth and it's something we're always going to be work on. >> two things, one, with rocky mountains to bringing money back home overseas, lou you going to structure that so that in fact that money that comes back will be used in a construction active way in terms of creating jobs, investments by corporations, in terms of producing a growth economy? >> we call it dean repatriation. i don't know how detailed you want me to get because it can get a little boring. say it's $3 trillion. no one knows but there's $3 trillion of profits of american companies overseas that don't

because of our screwy tax laws p we will add a low tax rate, deem all that money repatriated so it does come back and from there on ever we're going to adopt the system. if you make money overseas, bring it home without a big penalty. so we anticipate hundreds of billions of dollars at a start to come back into the country. i this i the best way to look at this, national association manufacturers did a big sur vai of their members. these are big manufacturers of america. two-thirds of them say they're going to invest in plants and equipment and factories and wages and salaries with what they're going to get. >> you joked last night about the president and his tweets. can you characterize how the relationship is right now between president trump, the leaders -- republican leaders of the house, you and the senate, mcconnell -- >> good. >> after everything's been said about you and

that's the past and -- >> you know why? we have a shared common agenda. there's a lot of noise out there, a lot of hysteria and dra drama. >> what about steve bannon? >> he's not there anymore. >> he's coming after you. >> you know what i care about? i care about getting things done, caring about improving people's lives. honestly, why worry about things that are outside of your control, don't, and worry about things you can control, how do we control this economy, help flames going paycheck to paycheck and building and getting the economy healthier. >> you played very well in the room last night. you took jab at even. >> i'm an equal opportunity -- >> i'm wondering. most people think the president has thin skin. are you worried? >> no. >> did you run the jokes by him? >> no, didn't do that. i would say two

we know each other well. we jab each other all the time on phone. i think once he gets to know a person and who they are and how they tick and has a personal relationship with them, it's a totally different story. >> can i ask you? george w. bush spoke yesterday and he said bigotry seemed to be emboldened? >> yeah. i didn't hear his speech but i think identity politic has gotten out of kroil. it's being played on the left and right and it's really danls for our country. it seeks to exploit fear, ignorance and seeks to exploit differences among people and prey on those people. that's how you disunify a culture and a country. there are some who believe it's immoral and it is and some believe it's the way to win an election. >> you're not talking about white supremacist -- >> that's evense

that's a severe awful dark form of identity politics but the point i'm trying to say, look, i'm conservative, there are liberals. that's one thing. we all want to help our country and help people and unify. we have different ideas and principles how to acheesh that goal but when you're playing identity politics, you're trying to divide the country and citizens against one another for some political gain. that's a political tactic that unfortunately has been tried over and over, much more lately and that's wrong. >> george w. bush spoke to something more broadly about that, he seemed to be talking about the president. >> i have no clue. >> here's t"the new york times. >> i don't typically read "the new york times." >> really. >> yeah. >> tell me what the country needs do beyond identity politics to get at -- everybody things

>> we actually talked about this a little bit last night and cardinal dolan and i have been speaking about this a lot together. he's an old friend of mine, used to be our bishop in milwaukee. we need to revive society, get people to reintegrate with communities. gayle, you and i have talked about this before, especially when you're talking about poverty, which is related but is not the core here. the point i mean when i say that is people have gone into their enclaves in america and have rebuilt walls. read bob putnam's book. that is a dark and dangerous country. we have to figure out ways of breaking down barriers and reintegrating the society. the way to do that are a number of things. more economic opportunity, more economic growth. we have to focus on getting people to work and refocus on communities and getting our civil society revietized. >> what you're saying is true but the problem

feel the president is dividing us. that's the problem. even if you didn't hear the speech, you've heard the conversation between president bush and president obama, they both seem to be saying that. >> why dome you talk to the president about this. >> we -- we -- okay. point taken. >> mr. speaker, thank you for joining us. >> aren't you glad you came? >> this was a great conversation about tax reform. >> we did. we did. we extended it. thank you so much. a community is honoring a world war ii veteran by setting out chairs for him on his walks. ahead, how he's inspiring his
