about his election opponent hillary clinton, but most importantly for the president, he listed issues he says have made his first year in office a success, unlike any other. >> we're going to cap off an incredible first year in office. >> reporter: speaking to a roaring crowd in pensacola, president trump delivered a victory-style speech, flaunting his policies and reminding the crowd it is now america first. the president highlighted november's positive employment report and boasted about the number of jobs created during his time in office. >> we've created more than $5 trillion in new economic wealth just in the stock market alone. >> reporter: for over an hour, mr. trump listed campaign promises he says he's fulfilled, urging supporters to give him another ally in the senate by voting for alabama's roy moore in next week's special election. >> the future of this country cannot afford to

the very, very close united states senate. we cant afford it, folks. >> reporter: and while he wasn't afraid to again endorse moore's controversial run, the president did avoid mention of an issue awaiting him today. >> i love these guys. look at these guys. blacks for trump. i love you. >> reporter: mr. trump's decision to travel to jackson, mississippi, where an unexpected snowstorm has frozen the city, is causing an angry backlash. the president plans to deliver remarks to civil rights veterans before the opening of the new civil rights museum, creating friction with several african-american lawmakers. >> this is not the time for a photo op for president trump, who has no civil rights record. >> reporter: mississippi's democrat congressman benny thompson is joining congressman john lewis in boycotting the event. in a joint statement, the lawmakers said, quote, president trump's attendance and his hurtful policies are an insult to the people portrayed in this civil rights museum. now, jackson's democrat

protesting the opening ceremony. all of them citing president trump's disrespect of civil rights activists. in response, the white house says it is unfortunate lawmakers are skipping the event. they say, still, president trump will honor the sacrifice of civil rights leaders. anthony? >> errol barnett, thank you. the president's call for alabama voters to send roy moore to the senate came as new evidence was revealed by one of the women who have accused moore of sexual misconduct. beverly young nelson says that moore sexually assaulted her when she was a 16-year-old waitress. >> her attorney says a handwriting expert confirmed that moore's inscription in her 1977 yearbook is authentic. moore's campaign says nelson's admission that she added the time and place of moore's yearbook inscription in her own handwriting undermines her entire story. new details have emerged on the allegations against congressman trent franks, who ru

republican says that franks repeatedly pressed her to carry his child. she says at one point he offered her $5 million to act as a surrogate. a former staffer claims that franks asked at least four times if she'd be willing to act as a surrogate in exchange for money. let's take an in-depth look at what's going on in politics. for that, we're joined by leslie sanchez. good morning. >> good morning. >> first, let's talk about alabama, where the president is focusing all of his efforts at this point. where do things stand down there? >> realistically, the support is working. i think you have a lot of republicans, let's look at base republicans versus conservatives, who are saying this is a lot like holding their nose for president trump, and we want the supreme court justice. that was the aim. we're all aiming for one thing. they want to protect the majority. but i will say many republicans are conflicted outside of alabama in terms of what this means for the party. whhi

of candidates who want to run under the republican ticket. that's a part people aren't really thinking about, but people are moving away, especially women, when it comes to looking at what the party fundamentally stands for. short-term wins, long-term losses. >> leslie, is there the expectation that if moore does win, there will be some sort of punishment when he arrives in congress? >> that's really the question, the efficacy. how palatable is it going to be for him to really move legislation forward when he's been removed twice, for example, from the alabama supreme court for not upholding the rule of law and the certain priorities he had to? i think realistically, you can't expect a different type of behavior. he's somebody that would probably work as an independent, move his own agenda, definitely have sharp elbows with his other republican colleagues. you're not going to really know where he's moving. and it's going to make it extremely difficult for the president to move his agenda forward. if your argument is that you want a majority that works together, and the president has a very thin record of accomplishment this year, if any, that's

>> so do you think there are a lot of republicans in washington who are worried that roy moore may become an albatross for the party? >> absolutely. they're wringing their hands. they're holding their dollars. i think that's probably the bigger question. even though the republican party -- let's say the positives. they've had a high successful fundraising. you're seeing a tremendous stock market rally. there's a lot of positives. tax reform is finally moving through, which is what the president promised. he promised a supreme court pick. he promised tax reform. you're seeing those things. he's going to be able to talk about that. but the undercurrent is really dramatic in terms of how people see the party, the future of the party, and what it fundamentally stands for. >> you talk about tax reform. the house and senate have to conference their bills, or the house has to pass the senate's bill. there are some problems we've seen with the bill this week in terms of the fact that it may raise taxes on corporations. it of course adds a trillion to the deficit. is it going to happen? will the two sides of the republican party be able to come together? >> ideally, t

it's this issue of pay throughs, how they're going to get that down. but really tossing the issue of where the tax cuts to balance this out are going to come from in the future. and if you listen a little bit to what speaker ryan is saying about looking at entitlement programs, senator marco rubio has been talking about that as well, that's going to be a big challenge. >> will the president sign on with that, given his position on social security and medicare? >> i think the president wants a win. the president has to have a win on this. they'll fix it later. but those are really the significant issues of how to address entitlement reform, are we going to get to the devil in the details, and it's still a precarious issue. >> leslie sanchez, thanks so much. tomorrow morning on "face the nation," the guests will include senator susan collins of maine, dick durbin of illinois, and u.n. ambassador nikki haley. atea

violence engulfing the middle east. security is on high alert in be bethlehem as clashes have erupted in the west bank. seth doan is in jerusalem with the latest. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. israel's defense forces launched air strikes that targeted what they claimed were four separate military installations belonging to hamas. hamas is that powerful islamic group that controls the gaza strip. on display in gaza today, a volatile mix of grief and anger in a funeral procession for a palestinian man who was shot at the border with israel. this cycle of violence is ratcheting up. this is the aftermath of an air strike israelis launched in retaliation for a hamas rocket attack across that same border. in bethlehem today, protesters continued to pelt israeli security forces with

registering their anger with president trump's policy shift on jerusalem. it's a back and forth we've also seen in the west bank town of ra ma la, where 16-year-old shaden was among the rock throwers. when you heard president trump make that statement, what went through your mind? >> i want to kill him. seriously. >> reporter: israelis were expecting violence and deployed extra battalions of security forces. though the jerusalem mayor is confident mr. trump's decision will ultimately bring peace. >> it's a major, important milestone in our current future and in the future. i thank him for that. >> but at what cost to security? >> sometimes we're threatened, and sometimes people challenge us. israel is ready to go through all the challenges. >> reporter: it is often those clashes and those protests that really grab headlines, but we've also heard a lot of much quieter

sides, people who run shops or run hotels. anthony, they have told us that business has been good lately, and they're concerned that all of this violence might scare away tourists. >> seth doan in jerusalem, thank you. and time to show you some of this morning's headlines. "the new york times" reports that earlier this year, the fbi warned hope hicks, one of president trump's advisers, about attempts by russians to contact her during the presidential transition. counterintelligence officials say they identified the russian operatives who had sent her e-mails using false names during these meetings, which took place after mr. trump took office. it shows russia's determination to make contact with the administration. hicks is not accused of wrongdoing. also in the "new york times," the death toll in puerto rico after hurricane maria may be much higher than the government has indicated. officials say 62 people were killed when the 150-mile-per-hour winds made nd

the paper's analysis finds the death toll swelled to more than 1,000 in the 42 days after the storm with indications that it will go higher. the deaths are blamed on a lack of power and delays in delivering food, water, and medical treatment. "the sacramento bee" reports pharmaceutical companies are taking california to court in hopes of blocking a new law requiring them to notify the public before rolling out a price increase. drug makers argue the law is constitutionally vague and a violation of free speech. by forcing them to justify price hikes. the law is set to take effect on january 1st. it follows consumer outrage over steep hikes in drug prices that were implemented without warning. and "los angeles times" reports the anaheim angels added a bat and arm to their lineup with one single acquisition. japanese pitching ace ohani accepted the offer afterei

the 23-year-old right-hander has a triple-digit fastball, wow, and is a power hitter. the angels will pay a $20 million posting fee and a $2 million signing bonus, but not a huge salary. no more than $545,000 for the next three years. not so bad, but he deserves it. >> a lot of people wanted that player. a lot of teams. all right. it's about 22 a we've known for we've noun for years about the risks posed by defective air bags, but tens of millions remain on the road, including some that pose an especially deadly danger. we'll go along on an effort to warn car owners. >>

but we begin this half hour withes latest on the largest auto safety recall in u.s. history. less than half of the 41 million potentially explosive air bag inflaters made by takata have been replaced. >> honda has been hardest hit by the problem, so they are on the hunt for a fix, literally. chris van cleave joined them on the mission. >> reporter: these honda employees are going door to door, hunting for roughly 100,000 cars with the most dangerous defective takata air bags that have up to a 50/50 chance of failing. faulty takata air bags have killed at least 13 people in the u.s. millions of mailers, phone calls, even targeted facebook ads, haven't gotten to everyone. so honda has 500 people in what it calls pit teams going into neighborhoods nationwide. >> 63 homes targeted. >> reporter: they're looking for unrepaired 2001 to 2003 hondas

and acuras. the teams carry replacement air bags, allowing a technician to remove the defective one on the spot. how unusual is this for someone to go door to door during a recall? >> well, it's unprecedented. >> reporter: ed cohen from honda. >> the challenge is these vehicles are 14, 15, 16 years old. they change hands one, two, three times. >> reporter: these are some of those recalled air bags that have the one in two chance of exploding if they deploy, but honda didn't find these. they came out of wrecked cars that rolled into salvage yards. the automaker says they've been able to get about 80,000 of the air bags that way. 18-year-old karina didn't know her call was salvaged from a junk yard. she was nearly killed when its takata air bag deployed in march. you bought this honda to pull the air bag out? >> correct. >> reporter: tim mcmillen actively seeks out older, wrecked hondas. he removes the air bags before putting them in his salvage yard. he's pulled out about a hundred defective air bags so far this year. hondas. he re

time now for "morning rounds," our look at the medical news of the week. nearly two months ago president trump declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency. one component is overprescribing of drugs and that was the subject of research at the university of michigan. >> doctors surveyed 170 patients who underwent gallbladder removal surgery, asking about their post surgery opioid use. they then used the information to craft custom post on prescribing guidelines and then applied these guidelines to a subsequent group of patients undergoing the same surgery to examine differences in opioid use. >> here to discuss the findings is cbs news medical

angeles bright and early. good morning, david. >> it's such a good study because it's low tech. the patients on average were given 50 pills of opioids and they actually used six. they went down and gave them 15 pills and then they only used four. so when you give somebody 50 pills and they use six, there's a lot of excess opioid out there and the potential for abuse or addiction is there, so this relatively low-tech thinking about what they're doing actually made a big impact. >> doc, it's a relatively small study. are we going to see more of these as betry to determine the best prescription strategies? >> me as a doc, i just write a number. i don't think how many do they use. data-driven prescriptions are really the way we have to go. i love this. they did it for

gallbladder surgery. we need do this with more and actually have real data on how many pills to give patients. up next a new cancer test that could help doctors and patients make more informed decisions. the test can detect genetic mutations in tumors and was approved by the food and drug administration just last week. >> in a press release fda commissioner scott gottlieb said, quote, by leveraging two policy efforts aimed at expediting access to promising new technologies, we've been able to bring patients faster access to a breakthrough diagnostic that can help doctors taylor cancer treatments. dr. agus, what did this test prove? >> this is dna sequencing. what this means is every patient now with cancer can have the tumor dna sequenced. we can iepd phi what are the on and off switches and it can enable us to use certain drugs to target that. so this really is the new era of

we've been doing it, but it hasn't yet been approved by the fda. medicare said we're going to cover it for our patients. >> david, in their press release, the fda said it will detect an extensive number of cancer biomarkers. what exactly is a cancer biomarker? >> so a cancer biomarker is something that tells you about the fundamentals of the cancer, either how to treat it or what's happening with the cancer. in this case, the biomarker are about 300-plus genes where we can look at them and see if they're altered or mutated and if they're turned on, we can target them. >> dr. agus, the fda commissioner scott gottlieb said this was a fast track process to get this approved. are we going to see more of that in the future? >> oh, yeah. we're going to see a lot more approved in record time. at the same tile i think what's novel here, medicare says we're

so both of those happening at the same time. it's fantastic. it's the perfect storm to benefit patients with cancer. all right, finally an eye toward the future. a team of scientists and engineers at the university of southern california has developed what could be a revolutionary treatment for eye injuries. >> in a study published this week in "science translational medicine," researchers showed off a glue-like material that can temporarily seal eye injuries until more advanced medical treatment is available. the seal land is temperature-sensitive and morphs from a fluid to a semisolid when applied to the eye. it can then be safely removed with cold water. the hope is that the technique can be used by medics on the battlefield and in other situations where full met cal care isn't close at hand. doc, this is so cool. that's a medical term. can you see other applications other than optometry? >> oh, yeah. this is wild. ve

university of southern california where i am. it's a polymer and when you cool it it becomes liquid like water. when you put it on something like the yierk at 98 degrees it starts to become a solid. in the case of eye injuries it allows the eye to be stabilized until you get to a hospital but you can conceivably do this with bleeding wounds and elsewhere in a field or community where you don't have accessibility to great surgeons who can do these micro procedures you can actually take care of patients. very exciting. >> it's like glue. how a? . dr. david agus, always good to see you. thank you for getting up so very early. >> thank you, guys. there's a reason some holiday toys are so hard to find. so-called cyber bots are scooping up the hottest play things before parents can click the "buy" button. we look at a problem you may well face this holiday season. you're watching thermometer saturday.

turning out your competition for the season's hottest toy may not be another parent but a piece of computer code. >> so-called cyber bots are scooping up some of the season's most coveted items so that some of the most unscrupulous sellers can unload them at much higher prices. here to talk about the grinch bots is derek thompson, senior editor at the "atlantic." derek, this is pure evil. >> it is. moms and dads would fight each other at toy stores. that's human versus human. >> you cannot win this war. >> that's right. when you say bot, it's a software robot. these are software algorithms, programs, that go around the internet and buy up products

faster than humans could possibly do. previously you would see it with tickets like the u2 concert. they bought 1,000 tickets in one minute and resold them on ebay or some other site. what they're doing is buying relatively cheap toys for something like a fingerling and reselling it on amazon or ebay for up to $100,000. this is ran soming. >> we'll discuss the parents who would pay that kind of price for something. but the problem here is, i mean -- well, you know, how do you combat this? >> so the short answer is it's extremely difficult to combat it. the slightly longer answer is there are certain rules you can put in, but a lot of these rules can be sort of superceded by the technology. so for example you can put in quantity limits. only one ip address can buy these toys.

shooting, but the case was closed. william atchinson disguised himself as a student to enter the building thursday. he shot and killed two students before killing himself. the ongoing wave of sexual harassment scandals claimed another high-profile target this week. as franken himself noted, in a senate floor speech, other accused men including alabama senate candidate roy moore and president trump himself have yet to face consequences from the accusations against him. to talk about this, we're joined by "new york times" op-ed columnist michelle goldberg whose most recent column covered the topic. >> thank you for having me. >> one of the things you raise is the idea that principle may be becoming partisan. what does that mean? >> well, i think that they are vastly different incentives in the two parties. the democratic party, although they're certainly d

cynical partisan motives like anybody else, they also have a base that is largely female but largely aspires to a world without pervasive sexual harassment and, you know, they promote ideas of gender equality, which makes someone even accused of the transgressions that al franken is accused of, that pale compared to what roy moore or donald trump has been accused of it, made his future in the party unatenable. so there really is no pressure to have consequences for some of the kind of rampant abuse, the rampant abuse in their ranks. >> well, you did have franks. >> franks actually doesn't quite follow the me too. i don't think there's a lot of women out there who say their bosses press them to carry their children as surrogates, right, i mean this is sort of like a monstrous freakishrr

that, if anything, just is the idea the republican party is the party of the hands maids tale. >> if this is a cultural revolution, revolution is smaller than it appears? >> yes, because it's a revolution that really depends on people's susceptibility to shame. so it's only really taking place in rounds like the democratic party, the media, hollywood, the arts, where publicity and public censure can have an impact, right so it's why donald trump has been, so far, completely immune to its effects. >> as you pointed out it hasn't yet rocked corporate america, wall street. >> i don't think anybody out there believes that wall street is less rife with harassment than, you know, the news media or public radio. it's simply the incentive structure for people coming forward is a lot different. >> let's also be clear while the democrats are sort of positioning this as the right moral choice for franken to

the most expeditious path to choose, right, democrats will use roy moore and al franken as comparison tests in 2018, will they not? >> right, think that's the point. the point is not that the democratic party is, you know, operating out of pure unblemished principle, it's that the incentives for the democratic party push for decency in this issue. i think the incentives in the republican party push for apologizing for the most grotesque kinds of -- >> apologizing or at least denying. >> is there a point, michelle, that, you know, as more and more of these figures fall from grace, is there a point we get dese desensitized to this? >> my fear is the backlash comes where people decide this is just how men in the workplace are, so i think we have to be really careful and vigilant and most women i know don't feel triumphant at this moment.

extremely apprehensive and think the backlash is going to gather force. >> to that end, you talk in one column about something called a sex panic. what does that mean for people unfamiliar with the term? >> it's basically when you have these sorts of moral outrages and, you know, lack of due process. i mean, maybe the most salient example would be the day care satanic sexual assault abuse panic of i believe the '80s or '90s when you had wild accusations but people going to jail for ideas about, you know, children in day care being abused by these satanic cults and it was really i think something that was born of a lot of anxiety about day care as an institution and working women. i don't think that's where we are but i do think america is vulnerable to sex panics and sort of vulnerable to these moral crusades, where people end up getting steam rolled. >> it's an ongoing development. michelle goldberg, thank you for

as many parents know, buying the best sports equipment for your child has become a sport in itself. in fact, it's a $15.5 billion industry, with some families spending as much as 10% of their incomes on sports activities when you include equipment, training and travel. but one big expense in the sport of swimming is now leading to a national backlash. meg oliver has the story. >> in a graceful sport consumed with speed, swimmers are always looking for that extra edge. >> this is my first year at nationals and my mom is, like, this is the biggest meet of your life, like, i'm going to get you a new tech suit. >> reporter: 15-year-old malia believes her high-tech swimsuit shaved two seconds off her time at junior nationals, an eternity in swimming. >> it's basically like another layer of skin. it's very, very tight and it's really hard

>> reporter: matt is with usa swimming. he's concerned swimmers younger than 12 are relying more on technology and less on training. what's the pressure like among parents to buy these high-tech suits? >> there's just a natural competitiveness in youth sports and any activity, it just creates a parental arms race. >> reporter: that competition became so intense, swim chapters around the country started banning high-tech suits for younger swimmers. southern california led the way, followed by arkansas, maine, new england, new jersey and south carolina. high-tech suits actually repel water? >> absolutely. >> reporter: in august, usa swimming hired independent consultant stu isaac to determine if a nationwide ban is needed to level the lane. >> when the water is on it -- >> reporter: comes right off. >> runs right off. you can see. >> reporter: looks completely dry. how much faster can that make you in the water? >> it reduce the drag. it's just not absorbinghe

when it doesn't absorb the water it doesn't change your density of the suit while you're swimming. >> reporter: if a 12-year-old girl wears one of these high tech suits, are they going to swim like katie la decky? >> no, what makes a swimmer good is of course talent, their physical makeup, but it's really the technique, it's the training. >> reporter: part of the debate also involves money. the suits range in price from $100 to $549. parents like laura held out for as long as she could. >> it would feel wrong to send her to a big competition where everyone else is wearing the suit and she doesn't. >> reporter: you felt pressure to buy one? >> yes, very much so. >> reporter: we asked a group of young swimmers about a possible ban. >> not very happy. >> reporter: why? >> because, like, i already have one and i don't want to, like, waste it. >> reporter: do you think you can swim just as fast without your tech suit? >> i don't know. >> reporter: it's that psychological component that

false sense of speed. >> a lot of them look at it like some magic pill but years from now i'd rather a kid say hey, it was me and all the hard work that i put into the sport, rather than just a suit that got them to shave that time. >> reporter: for cbs this morning saturday, meg oliver, indianapolis. >> okay, between the $1,000 fing fingerlings and the $500 swimsuit, i'll need a second job just to raise this kid. >> $550 for a swimsuit. >> unbelievable. >> yes. >> all right, comedian sarah silverman has a complicated persona on the stand-up stage and her latest project "i love you america" is like nothing she's done before. we'll catch up to her coming up next. you're watching cbs this morning saturday. >> announcer: this portion sponsored by toyota. let's go place is. this portion sponsored by toyota, let's go places. ♪ save lots of cash. long as it lasts. ♪

hooked. >> you ended up getting a job in charlottesville, which you said was kind of your cooking school. >> yeah. there was a wonderful little restaurant in charlottesville called oxville and he took me on as essentially an apprentice. i worked up through the ranks and that acted as my culinary school. >> your tenacity was your calling card. you used it to get a gig with a chef. >> i didn't understand it. i now do understand how annoying it must have been. in 2008 when economy wasn't so good, i was going down knocking on doors saying hire me, hire me, hire me. i just didn't give up. not only were they not hiring but they laid people off, and it was a tough time, but i kept showing back up. >> you got a tip on what to do. >> exactly. >> what was the tip? >> i befriended a chef and he said, hey, we're pretty much down to our

there's a guy who is ooh going to be leaving. i bet if you were to come down here and be here the same day he puts in his notice, sean would probably hire you. >> hot tip. >> luckily it worked out. >> he looked at you and said, do you want the job? >> yes. >> was your goal to always open your own kitchen. >> yeah. i think from pretty early on. i thought about opening my own restaurant eventually. >> you do something weird or innovative. you have people in the restaurant trade places from time to time. >> yeah. you know, there's a lot of learning curves in restaurants and when you go from being a chef in your career and then chef owner you adopt a whole new set of responsibilities. as an owner your number one responsibility is to make sure everyone does the best john they can so everybody has a great experience. very quickly we realizeded if people under how difficult other people's jobs were, it would make things so much smoother and easier. it does. >> eddie

"trading places." >> 100%. >> chef, i would ask you to sign this dish. if you could share this meal with anyone past or present, who would it be? >> i think i would share it with my wife. >> good call. >> i don't spend enough time with her. >> a that's a winner all the time. chef jeremiah langhorne, thank you and thanks for sharing. for more on chef langhorne head to our website at cbsnews.com. up next, on our "saturday sessions," dear tick who counts stevie nicks as a huge fan has released two albums at one, one acoustic and one electric. you'll hear songs from both performed right here at studio 257 next. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." ok, so with the award-winning geico mobile app, our customers have 24/7 access, digital id cards, they can even pay their bill- (beep) bill has joined the call. hey bill, we're just- phone: hi guys, bill here. do we have julia on the line too?
