>> this is the third time in six months that something like this has happened, raising the obvious question, why in san francisco. >> the special counsel approached the president's lawyers about conducting an interview with him. the president's legal team began discussing the how and the when. the answer may be never. >> flu seasons are notoriously difficult to predict, and this one got off to an earlier start than usual. at the center of the threat is a more aggressive strain of the virus. >> what happened here has angered some folks and embarrassed other people. yesterday we were looking to talk to the superintendent of schools and you know what we found? a man in tears. >> president trump's son-in-law jared kushner has been asked to turn his focus to prison reform. he's asked him to oversee government reform, be a liaison to mexico, china, and to fix the opioid crisis. even steve harvey said,

that's too many jobs for one guy. good morning. it's thursday, january 11th, 2013. welcome back to "cbs this morning." congress is working this morning to come up with a new immigration policy. ahead, we're going to look at that story, but right now let's get to the very latest on the mudslides. at least 17 people were killed when a storm slammed the area early tuesday morning. more than a dozen others are missing. >> two of the people killed have been identified. they're mother and realtor rebecca riskin and catholic school founder roy rohter. >> these before-and-after pictures show the and tent of the mud and debris on the 101 highway. a portion section of the highwae closed until next week. carter evans is in montecito. good morning. >> good morning. the damage is s

it's hard to put into words. it's hard to even show it to you in pictures right now. the mud is thick. it's extremely difficult to get through. imagine you were sleeping at night. it happened at 4:00 in the morning. people say they heard a rumbling and all of a sudden, bam, these boulders slammed not just in your house. they go right through your house. this boulder in front of me is a small one. a lot of them were the size of cars. now, the debris field covers an area of about 30 square miles. it is a very huge debris field. it's hard to understand how large it is. the debris destroyed 100 homes and damaged a hundred more. they're using search dogs to find people. it's extremely difficult to search for victims. the mud and debris in some places is piledei

high. and there are trees and boulders and even appliances washed away. check out this video. it shows a car racing down a windy road trying desperately to outrun mud and debris. about 70 miles from there video shows damage to cars. a car dumped on the beach of montecito just destroyed. it also damaged infrastructure. the water system is in serious disrepair right now and there's no word, john, on when it will be back up and running. >> carter, thanks. the second rank lawmakers from both parties in the house and senate met yesterday. the issues include border security, chain migration, the visa lottery program, and daca. the obama-era program protecting young people brought to the u.s. illegally as children. >> the trump administration

program. on tuesday the president indicated he may sign a clean daca bill. the president was asked yesterday about supporting a daca deal without a commitment to pay for a wall along the mexican border. >> it's got to include the well. we need the well for security. we need the well for safety. we need the well for stopping the drugs from pouring in. i would imagine that the people in the room, both democrat and republican, i really believe they're going to come up with a solution to the daca problem, which has been going on for a long time and may be beyond that immigration as a whole. >> the president and the justice department say they will fight a court order blocking the daca program in march. >> nearly 700,000 immigrants are protected by daca and many are training for high-level professional careers. adriana diaz is at loyola university's school outside of chicago where a group of future doctors is watching the daca debate very nervously. adriana, good morning.

this medical school was the first to officially accept documented students back in 2014. there are currently 32 being trained here. because of daca, they can study and work here, but they don't get citizenship. we sat down with three students who told us what it's like to be at the top of their academic game with no clear future insight. >> every time i hear footsteps outside of my door, there's a part of me that for a second i think should i open the door? >> reporter: after 20 years living in the united states he worries they could detain him at any point. born in mexico but raised in new mexico he's the first undocumented immigrant to pursue his phd and md and loyola university medical school but he may never beable to practice legally. >> my biggest fear is maybe daca will remain, but there will be no way to go bon

studied chemistry in college in savannah before becoming one of the d.r.e.a.m.ers enrolled here. >> the news on twitter reminds you, but at some level you are not welcomed here. >> i see the u.s. as my home, my community, my people, my peers. >> reporter: her mother brought her to the u.s. illegally from guatemala when she was 7, traveling for two weeks by foot and car. >> feel like i haven't done anything wrong. e've gone to school, got good grades, did community service, and yet that gives me no right in a sense. >> we have always drawn strength from being a nation of immigrants. >> reporter: president obama enacted it to protect the children. critics called it an unlawful program that lacked approval and takes away jobs. >> what do you say to folks who say this is a country who has to

its laws, am people have to have those laws. >> if you have someone enter illegally but it was 20 or 30 years ago and if they're a productive member of your community, they're paying taxes, what is the logic of deporting them outside of just following an arbitrary rule. >> the president has said he wants to find a solution for daca. do you believe him? >> there's been a lot of back-and-forth. this is going to happen, that's going to happen, and something else happens. >> reporter: although the prospect of deportation is real, alejandra says she will not go back to mexico. >> i'll go to europe or canada, or anybody who wants doctors. we want to stay here because our families are here and communities are here, but at the end of the day, we're american trained almost physicians. any other physicians would jump up to take any of us. >> if lawmakers find no solution

for these students to complete their training, repay their loans, or practice medicine. john? >> adriana, thanks. the trump administration is gives states medicaid. it could affect millions of low income americans and force some off medicaid. about 7 million people are on the program. ten states have applied for waivers. the rules would affect working age able-bodied adults. they could fulfill the requirement through skills, education, job search, volunteering, or care giving. >> a washington ban is expected to take place on tuesday. the new rules ban all portable electronic devices not issued or authorized by the white house. personal devices cannot be carried into or otherwise possessed in the west wing from 6:00 a.m. to

through friday. violators could be subject to disciplinary action. there is high concern among senior white house staff about leaker knowns amid michael wolff's book "fire and fury." but they say the ban is not in response to the book. i guess this means you can only bring in your government issued blackberry or iphone in that case. >> yeah. it's in response to leaker knowns. >> you think so? >> the point is they'll know everyone you text with. >> and they have more control over what goes in and out of that government issued phone than they would your personal phone. serena williams is opening up about a scary health scare after giving birth. williams is on the cover of the magazine. she looks gorgeous. along with her daughter alexis

youtube is punishing one of its biggest stars logan paul days after he posted a video of the body of man who had committed suicide in japan. >> did we just find a dead man in the suicide forest hanging? do you think that's real? >> youtube said yesterday he's being removed from google's preferred platform and they're cutting ties and personal projects. the suicide video was up for 24 hours. it was seen 6 million times before logan paul removed it himself and

>> he has more than 50 million youtube subscribers and he is youtube's fifth highest paid star earning more than $12 million a year. youtube has not made any policy changes about controversial or graphic video even after paul's post from japan. is is lapowsky is with us at the table. is it enough? >> well, this has been youtube's policy, right? they have a three strikes and you're out policy. they don't want to sensor you immediately right after the bat if you make one mistake but they want him to suffer a penalty. they want to hit himmy it hurts. this is a program where they bundle their top program creators and put them in front of their premium advertisers and they guarantee revenue. he's going to take a hit to his

still up and he'll continue to make ad revenue. it's up to his followers if they want to tune in. >> why is he still up if they took these actions? >> again, it's three strikes. censorship is something they take extremely seriously. they say if we pose you three time, you're out. he made one mistake, he's 22, and they're givinging him the benefit of the doubt, leavings he channel up, but imposing repercussions. they're removing him from some of his original shows that would have made him a lot of money as well. >> there should be apologies. youtube didn't take down the offensive video. logan paul took the video down. >> the thing is it clearly violated youtube's existing policy. it's not that they need a policy change. they need a moderation change. that have committed to hiring more than 10,000 in 2018.

enough? they have 400 hours of video going up every single minute. they're using technology, algorithms, and human moderators. but they run the risk of missing videos and overreaching on the other end of the spectrum. >> here's the conundrum. provocative content is what draws people to youtube and this youtube profits off that provocative content. so they don't want to shut down what is a revenue stream, right? >> exactly. that's the model of the internet. facebook faces this problem, so does twitter. the more viral, the better it is for youtube. whenever youtube ends up coming out to explain why this video stayed up so long, that's going to have to be part of the decision. was it that it was so beneficial

united made excuses for it despite the fact that it violated policies. >> logan paul did not respond to our request. he has taken it down and is taking time off for time to reflect. >> around this time last yeerg he faced similar reper cautions because a lot of his content turned out it contained content. he was removed from the ad program and content. he's still up and running and doing really well. >> izzy lapowsky, thank you so much. ahead, we'll explain the roles men can play in the national debate. you're watching "cbs this morning."

because one of the litz ards in the car was the geico gecko. >> good advice. if you see a frozen iguana, don't put it in your car. >> i don't know about this story. >> who among us has not rounded up frozen iguana now and again. >> exactly. welcome back to "cbs this morning." right now it's time to show you this morning's headlines. "the new york times" reports the irs wasted millions on private debt collectors. i brought in only $7.6 million in tax debt. in the last year they brought in only 1%. in some cases they were paid 25% commissions on collections the irs made without their help. former congressman anthony weiner and former clinton aid huma abedin have opted to settle out of court

avoid embarrassment. last week a tweet from the president called for abedin to be jailed following the state department's release of classified e-mails on anthony weiner's laptop. he could be forced to testify against her if she ever faces criminal charges. the "washington post" reports five mexican states are now under the highest u.s. "do not travel" warning. it's the top level of potential danger. the region are hot spots of drug cartel activity. the warning puts them on the same level as war-torn countries like yemen, syria, and somalia. eric clapton says he is losing his hearing and has tinnit tinnitus. he admitted in an interview he has suffered from that condition. it's a ringing in the ear that

"vanity fair" reports prince harry has still not asked his brother prince william a very important question. >> prince william

has not yet been picked for the job on a radio show yesterday. prince harry will marry american actress meghan markle in may. >> you know he's going ask prince william. who else will it be? it's not going to be barack obama, you know that. it as going to be prince william. >> there's probably a royal decree that says you have to do it. take it out of his hand. tradition and our cbs affiliate khou posted a hilarious achlkt he slipped and he slid the whole way down desperately trying to stop. oh, down he goes. he fell just before reaching the street. now, his wife caught the whole thing on camera and then she posted the homemade video with the warning black ice is real. clearly he and his wife have a great relationship or a great sense of r.

we can only laugh about it because it was okay. >> this happened to us the other night when we were walking the dog and my wife said watch the ice and she went up. >> there was security camera video. >> we stay out of the line of security video. the "me too" movement is highlights what role men have in the discussion. our alex wagner recently spoke with a group of five accomplished men about the responsibility they feel to address sexual harassment and gender quality. one of them was producer judd apatow. >> is it awkward when you confront another man about sexual harassment, judd? >> i don't think so. i mean when you run a television set, you have a lot of employees and you're really trying to create an environment where everybody feels

go to the people who run the set, and it will be taken care of. it really is one of those situations where i think the head people set a tone. >> for decades author and educator jackson katz has called on the men to speak out. he delivered a t.e.d. talk. that talk has received more than 3.5 million views. >> there's so many men who care deeply about these issues, but caring deeply is not enough. we need more men with the guts w the courage, with the strength, with the moral integrity to break our complicit silence and challenge each other and stand with women and not against them. >> jackson katz, the founder and president of mvp strategies. he's provided sexual harassment and violence training for several sports teams and the military training. good morning. >> good morning. >> it's a men's issue. what does that me?

have seen sexual assault and violence as women's issues. my work is to help people think differently about these issues. they're not just women's issues. they're men's issues. they're creating a majority of the abuse and violence. until they stand with women as partners, they're only cleaning up. >> if i'm a man, which it turns out i am, and i'm not doing anything, i might think, so what's my role. how am i supposed to think differently? >> all men at all levels of society and whatever their spirit of influence have to make it clear to the people around them that abusing women in any way, verbally, emotionally, visually, sexually is unacceptable not just because it's illegal and they're going to get in trouble but because it's a peer issue. you want to s

young men and boys who have to hear it from men as well as women. treating women with respect is not an option. mandatory. it's how you treat people with respect and dignity. if you don't do it, you're going to be in trouble with your friends, your teammates, peers, classmates, colleagues. if we can change the social norms, you're going to see a significant diminution. it's not about individual sick men doing this. a lot of these men committing acts of abuse or harassment are otherwise normal men. >> they're mostly normal men. >> that's right. >> perpetrators are normal men. >> that's right. >> what do you mean by that? >> the perception is you think it's some freddy krueger twisted character is committing these acts of abuse. they're normal guys. most guys who commit rape on college campuses are normal guys, they go to class or they don't go to class, they're in fraternities or they're

they're in sports or they're not. what does it mean to be normal? in other words, it's not just crazy individuals but actually much broader than that, then it implicates the various institutions that shape what are men and boys. >> you curated the bystander training. what does this mean? >> the bystander approach is a way to move on the binary. instead of focusing on women, it focuses on everybody in a given culture, which is called a bystander, which is a teammate, classmate. >> like an honor code. >> yeah, sure. it's giving people tools to challenge it. not just at the point of attack. >> give us an example. >> you're a guy and you're hanging out and there are no women in the room and one or two of the guys start making sexist comments about girls and women. instea

that, it's interrupting that like, hey, that's not funny. it's like racism. if you're hanging out with a group of white people, if you don't challenge them on that, in a sense your silence is a form of consent and complicity. >> like the president called locker room talk. >> yeah. >> you made an interesting observation about the golden globes the other night that i hadn't thought about until you pointed it out. >> the golden globes was an incredible moment. it wasn't just awards, but it was an incredible cultural moment where so many women were coming forward talking publicly with a bright spotlight about not only the experiences they had but highlighting experiences women had but all the men who came up to get awards and present, they didn't say anything. on the red carpet, yes, some of them said we support women, i'm very proud of her. what we didn't hear from men either on the arrival or from the stage at all w

because of the bright spotlight to say as a man i support women and i'm going to do whatever i can to challenge other men to stand up and speak up and support women and make this a movement that is transcended. >> why do you think they didn't say anything. >> i think a lot of men don't know what to say, have never heard other men say this, so they haven't heard it modeled, a lot of men are afraid of stepping in imt they don't know what to say and they're afraid of saying the right thing and there's pushback. it's not that they're person tratzers. just don't know what to say. think i what we're doing here is showing men, you can talk about this. >> and please talk about it. >> yes, please talk about it. >> thank you for being here. >> thank you. thank you very much. volunteers are helping to restore faith in a community devastated by hurricane harvey. >> we'll bring in supplies and teams and help them rebuild their community. it's about bringing hope to a community that is, quite

livinging in rvs and tents. >> dwlou do it? >> those people need us to stay strong. that's the truth. is it hard? you bet. but that man needs to know that somebody's going to fight for him. >> isaac, open those slats up. >> reporter: skipper recruited an army of volunteers from hart. a group that travels around the country rebuilding communities hit hard by natural disasters. >> we'll bring in supplies and teams and help them rebuild. it's all about bringing hope to people that quite honestly are homeless. >> we're just so thankful, so appreciative for the people, for the angels god sent me. >> reporter: for skipper and tony, their mission is not just to help the harriss but to be there for the peopl

for the long hall. >> this is what we run into everywhere we go. for the first two months there's a whole bunch of people. after that it gets less and less and less and less. we're just committed. >> reporter: as for the harriss, they may have lost their home, but volunteers restored their faith. >> john, what could you offer them for everything they're doing? >> nothing. there's nothing but "thank you, i love you." that's about it. >> skipper hopes the harriss can move back into this home by march or april, but that's going to depend on the amount of supplies they get and lay bofrmt skipper's church hopes to have 35 families back in their homes by the end of the year. john? >> omar, thanks. we'll be right back here on "cbs this morning."
