capitol hill today in a must push for his biggest domestic priority, the tax overhaul. senate republicans hope for a vote this week on a bill, but it's not clear if they will have enough support for it to pass. nancy is on capitol hill with why some republicans are not on board. good morning. >> good morning. republicans can only afford to lose two votes in the senate and right now gop leaders are scrambling to accommodate the holdouts. senator ron johnson of wisconsin and steve dans of montana have already said they will not vote for this bill in its current form. they worries that small business owners are getting a worse deal than big companies under the plan. corporations would get a sizable tax cut in the plan, but that's not going to help small business owners who have to pay individual taxes directly, which johnson says affects over 90% of american companies. now, these two senators say they are willing to change their votes if the bill is changed, but making those changes could put gop leaders in

because it would cost even more money that they would then have to try to make up somewhere else. this bill is already prompted to add $1.4 trillion to the deficit over ten years. the president himself will be having lunch with all the republican senators, the second time he's done so. one perennial wild card, however, who does seem to be on board is senator rand paul of kentucky. he announced he had going to vote for the bill and the president issued a personal tweet of thanks in response. >> busy day for you, nancy. thank you so much. some native american groups are calling president trump insensitive. he referred to senator elizabeth warren as pocahontas. the incident added more drama to a legal fight over who is running a government watchdog agency. major, good morning. >> good morning.

she has less native american blood in her than i have, okay? >> i guess he thinksite going to shut me up. warren accused the president of using a racial slur. warren is in the middle of a new power struggle over who is running the new cfpb or financial production bureau. >> president trump is trying to create chaos at the agency. >> she appeared with the deputy director of the cfpb, lee anna english, an obama hold over. mull vein thee, like many republicans, questions the bureau's benefit to consumers and its secretive procedures. bureau staff arrived monday unsure who their boss was. in competing e-mails, english and mulvaney both claim the acting director title. >> i don't consider her the acting director and you should disregard he

official capacity. >> in a fund-raising e-mail sent out last night, warren accused president trump of using gutter politics to distract from what she says is the administration's effort to protect big banks who are in her words scamming ordinary americans. the administration here at the time white house says warren's false claim of native american the heritage made the pocahontas nickname fair game. >> thank you very much. another former staffer of democratic john conyers is accusing him of sexual harassment. his former deputy chief of staff told the detroit news conyers made three unwanted advances towards her. he touched her legs and once suggested sharing a hotel suite and having sex. the house ethics committee is looking at a report that conyers paid $27,000 to settle a complaint that he fired her for rejecting his sexual advances. the longest serving member of congress denies any wrongdoing. s

in an interview first on cbs this morning, she says weinstein lured her to his hotel room. the lawsuit claims weinstein recruits, solicits and entices young actresses. >> katie told us she met harvey weinstein on one other occasion in london three months before the alleged assault. she said that's when weinstein told her that he had a film role in mind for her. and when he said it will be good for you, she believed him. >> i still can hear the rattle from him. >> british actress katie noble says she was forced into a hotel bathroom and sexually assaulted in may of 2014 by harvey weinstein. nobles says wine sateen approached her in cannes, france, inviting her upstairs to his room to watch her audition reel. >> it seems like it went on foreve

distance the couple from a media he has condemn dollars with operating with racial undertones in some of the early coverage of meghan as biracial. >> of course it's disheartening. it's a shame that that is the climate in this world to focus that much on that or that that would be discriminatory in that sense. but i think, you know, at the end of the day, i'm really just proud of who i am and where i come from and we have never put any focus on that. we've just focused on who we are as a couple. >> and harry said he really had to make sure she knew where she was going. >> you know, i had to have some pretty frank conversations with her. what you're letting yourself in for is -- it's a big deal. whatever we have to tackle together or individually will always be us together as a team. >> auto auto team that will always include living with the legaf

it is tuesday, november 28th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, we'll talk to republican senator rob portman about tax reform. what it will take to pass and how long it will take for workers to benefit. and prince harry's fiancee. she's come a long way from south l.a. today we'll take a look at meghan markle's journey from windsor hill to windsor castle. but first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. alabama senate candidate roy moore made his first public appearance in 11 days at a rally last night. >> roy has been avoiding questions about his sexual behavior four decades ago. but for

to say. republicans can only afford to lose two votes in the senate. gop leaders scrambling to accommodate the holdout. president trump referred to elizabeth warren as p on ocahontas. >> injecting race into the most benign of oval office settings. sending out big clouds of smoke, ash and lava behind me. the airport here in bali has been closed for a second day. he may be a prince and she may be a famous tv star, but the proposal took place over chicken dinner here at home. >> oh, love everything about them, charlie. it's a truly bizarre story. duel for the top job. >> the power struggle that would make an episode of the apprentice seem quiet. >> and tonight, ladies and gentlemen, they settle it in the octagon. they're going to fight this thing out. that's the only way. >> it's time to regulate!

>> i'm gayle kill with norah o'donnell a o'donnell vladimir. president trump heads to capitol hill today to push for tax reform with senate republicans. the president says he wants to have the overhaul finished before the end of the year, but the clock is ticking and the bill faces challenges in the senate. congressmen ron johnson and steve daines say they are worried the bill does not do enough for smaller businesses. johnson says this covers more than 90% of u.s. businesses. at least seven on other republicans have not said how they will vote. they are concerned about issues ranging from the impact on the federal deficit to removing obamacare's individual mandate. republicans are only afford to lose two votes. republican senator rob portman of ohio is a member of the senate finance committee and he's with us from capitol hill this morning. senator,

>> good morning. >> so it's just we laid out two republicans already, how do you see the bills changing? >> i think about 90% of the republicans have said they are supportive of it. in fact, strongly supportive. we have some folks looking at various aspects. they all want middle class tax cuts, they all want simplifications. in something this complicated, there are going to be differences, but i feel confident we'll come together. one of the interesting things is if you address some of the concerns that some of the senators like ron johnson have, which is to help these businesses which account for 90% of businesses in this country. dow that, but then you add to the deficit and you lose some of your republicans who are, of course, deficit hawks. how do you find compromise on that? >> with the, you're right. there's a balance here. but i will say among those companies that are called pass through companies, and it is the majority of companies in our country and they employ about 50% of the people. there are significant tax cuts and there is tax relief because those businesses also w

able to invest more in their plant and equipment and people. there will be higher productivity and therefore more economic growth. so that's in there. his question is whether it's a balance. in other words, whether there's parity with the national companies that get relief to on be competitive globally. so it is a balance, but i think in the end we'll get there because overwhelmingly, republicans and a lot of democrats, by the way, are very supportive of the middle class tax cuts, the simplification and just the general focus here which is how to get more jobs and how to increase wages. >> so how is this really a tax cut, senator, for the middle class? a "new york times" analyst found more than 13 million middle class families will actually be paying more. well, if you look at the information that's objective, which would be the joint committee on taxation, it's pretty clear. and there's some analysis of this, the tax foundation is a good place to look online or jct.gov if people want to look online. but if you're a

family in my home state of ohio, you will get a tax cut of about $2,375. that doesn't include the advantage you get from having a more competitive economy. many have said that's several thousand dollars for that same family, as well, every year. for families that are living paycheck to paycheck, that's a big deal. by the way, it's progressive in the sense that if you are a family of four, two kids making $50,000 a year, you get a 36% tax cut, on average, if you're making 85,000 a year, you get a 20% tax cut. 165,000 a year, you get an 8% tax cut. so the benefit is focused on the middle class and those who are in this range of, you know, 30,000 to 70,000 bucks. >> senator, there is an argument for corporate tax cut and it's that they will reinvest and pass those savings on to middle class americans, but the tax policy center said it could take up to 20 years. why does it take so much time to put money back in

pockets? >> we have to change the way we tax our companies because they can't be competitive. some say that's 80% of the benefit, some say it's 25% of the benefit. but you're right, that's going to go to the families. i know there is a one-year delay in the corporate cuts and there is an immediate cut for families. but i do think during that time period, because expensing will be something that a lot of companies will take advantage of, immediate expensing. i think there will be a lot of investment. that's what the economists continue to say. i can't understand why it would take that long. i think what you'll see is immediate decisions made by companies knowing they're going to have this ability to invest more, increase productivity and get wages back up. >> do you think it was appropriate for president trump to call one of your colleagues, senator warren, pocahontas? >> they have a back .forth that i'm going to stay out of. it's long standing. i think that event yesterday was an event to honor an incredible

code talkers. there aren't a lot of them left and it was a time to pay tribute to them and honor them. >> a lot of people agree on that with you, senator. before we go, are you as excited as i am about harry and meghan getting engaged? >> poor harry, he hasn't gotten the attention he deserves. seems like a nice guy. >> i can tell you love love, too. >> thanks, guys. great to be on with you. >> thank you very much. prince harry and his fiancee, meghan markle, they're revealing how they handle intense public scrutiny. they spoke to the bbc in their first interview since announcing their engagement. they explained how their relationship grew over the past 18 months. >> i think we were able to really have so much time just to connect and we never went longer than two weeks without seeing each other even though, obvisl

distance relationship. so it's -- we made it work. >> the fact that i fell in love with meghan so incredibly quickly was a -- was sort of confirmation to me that everything -- all the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect. it was this beautiful woman sort of literally tripped and fell into my life. i fell into her life. i know the fact that she'll be really unbelievably good at the job part of it, as well, is obviously a huge relief to me because she'll be able to deal with everything else that comes with it. >> it is like the stars aligned. >> it really is. >> they're adorable together. >> her engagement to prince harry takes the american actress a long way from her humble beginningses in los angeles. jamie shows us her improbable journey. 80s a 21st century cinderella story at buckingham palace. fresh face markel comes from the humblest of

what may be the most important feature about this royal couple is the two really like each other. andrew morton wrote princess diana's biography. >> call me old fashion, but that's a great row maps. >> in a ""vanity fair"" introduce, markle said i personally love a great love story. she is certainly writing her own. >> wow. >> i love what they met, guys, on a blind date. most blind dates i have, i say the to the person, are you mad at me about something? this is clearly something that clicked from the very beginning. and during the news conference, i love how she was rubbing his arm. such a twooet sweet, tender moment between the two of them. and apparently the queen's courties took to her immediately. >> always bark at him, but they like her. >> there's something very special about the two of them. many americans on this giving tuesday will open their wallets for

today is giving tuesday. it's a movement that began back in 2012 to boost charitable giving at the end of the year. people donated more than $281 billion to charities last year. a new bank rate survey out this morning says 40% of people give money. but fraud is a big problem here. two government agencies are warning consumers to be wary of scammers. cbs news analyst jill schlessinger is here to tell you what to look for. i got an e-mail yesterday from david reuben stein asking me to donate to a charity. and i was just about to click on and do it but it signed, we all have a lot to be thankful for, dave. i've never known him to be a

dave. so i e-mailed him and said, is this you? and he said no, it's not. but if this person hadn't signed it dave, i would have never questioned it because i didn't check the e-mail until i became suspicious. that's well played out. >> it sure is. the irs warned that charitable frauds are on the rise. and it usually coincide wes a disaster, maybe hurricane relief. but just like you said, it can happen from my area. so i know everyone is going to get inundated with asks today and throughout the end of the year. healthy skepticism would be great. and the most important thing to remember, please, please tell everyone you know don't be giving cash, don't send wires, don't share your personal information. this is identity theft, as well. one of the key characteristics of these frauds is that they will tend to sound like a charity that you're familiar with. so it may not be the american cancer society. they may change it to the american cancer organization, something close but

>> so what are the safest ways to send your money? >> the safest ways would be clear, to have a check, credit card, a text is fine. you have to keep good records. if you want to check to see whether the charity is legitimate, the irs has a great tool that you should be looking at. it will help you understand whether or not it has a tax i.d. number. all you have to do is irs.gov plus charity. you'll get to the tool. that's a wonderful with way to check on that. >> how do you check if the percent of the money you're giving is going to the cause you're wanting it to? comparing compareties, charity navigator looks at each one. generally speaking, we like to see that 75% of your money goes to the charity's ultimate outcome rather than the overhead. if you're seeing half and half, that's not a good sign. so check that out.

>> scammers are really good. healthy skepticism, that's he what i really want to point out. healthy skepticism. >> thank you very much, jill. ahead, melania trump responds to a ""vanity fair"" article that claims she didn't want the first lady's job come hell or high water. and michelle miller takes us inside a tennessee cage to reveal who helped jack daniel make his whiskey. >> the not so hidden secret about jack daniels and this cave spring and the water that's used to make every drop of its whiskey. but there's another secret now being revealed about the iconic brand and its roots. that story is coming up on "cbs this morning." that's the new man, huh? yup. getting kinda' close to my ride. wow... now, that's how you make a first impression. they're going to love you... that's ford, america's best-selling brand. hurry in today for 0% financing for 72 months across the full line of ford cars, trucks and suvs! and just announced...get 0% apr for 72 months

green helped make the brand a household name. michelle, good morning. >> good morning. you seem to know a lot about whiskey. >> i do know a lot about whiskey. >> good morning. some of the first clues about niris green were in jack daniels' official biography published back in 1967. green was mentioned in this book about 50 times. then his name seemed to disappear until one woman helped discover the truth at the heart of how jack daniels came to make whiskey. >> it's important to set the record straight because anyone who accomplished something like niris did should be honored. >> what niris green, a slave, did was teach jacken daniels how to make whiskey. >> it was on the cover of the "new york times" decision. it was possible after african-american was behind jack daniels and it's never been spoken about until now. >> for author fawn weaver

finding the proof of green's legacy has been a passion bordering on obsession. over the past year, weaver collected a library of documents, letters and pictures hoping to parse the truth from folklore. >> finally, one of the elders in the community, she said his name wasn't really niris. his name was nathan and he's from maryland. >> after digging for over 2,500 hours and speaking to more than a hundred relatives, it started to come together. >> i got so excited. >> debbie staples, a great grand-daughter heard the tale of whiskey from her grandmother. >> i knew she had no reason to make up a story like that. >> in the late 1850s, jack daniel, an or fan, started working for a wealthy landowner and disteller named dan call. >> this is where jack daniel grew up. >> okay. >> call teamed daniel with

main whiskey man. >> and after slavery, he started his own company. and the person he went to first was his mentor. and he did not see races as a barrier. >> she began pulling outs all of this research. >> weaver soon found evidence in black and white. a 1972 article in the ten ten historical quarterly listed miris green as jack daniel's first head disteller. mark mccallum is the president of jack daniels brand. >> when we've known and mood the weight of this story, all i can offer is anything we can do to continue to honor the name of niris, we will do. >> the company first acknowledged green last year. >> there was an enormous amount of blow back. such as? >> it ranged from very positive to very

we were in na month or two leading up to the u.s. presidential election and i thought the last thing that america needed at that time was for jan jack daniel to come out again, after all this commentary and raise up this story again. >> people had been saying that, but there was not one shred of proof. so if you have a story that you know will be controversial, because most people don't listen to the whole story. >> what do they hear? >> immediately that jack daniel had slaves. >> by all accounts, he did not. it is believed he opened his distillery in 1866, a year after the 13th amendment abolished slavery. and working with daniel helped to make green and his children wealthier than many of their white neighbors. today, green is mentioned in tours of the distillery. >> that is jacack daniel himsel. and this is

early 1900s. >> there is no known photograph of niris green, but this is his son, george, sitting right next to jack daniel at a time when black employees were often relegated to the back. three living green descendants still work for jack daniels. >> i know the country is divided. there's a lot of hate. but, you know, to be in the south and to have a relationship with someone that -- you would think that would never happen. >> despite the deep racial divides in the american south in the 19th century, an improbable friendship brewed, one of the heart of a quintessentially american brand. >>er for me, this project ends when i can go anywhere around the world and say niris green.
