President trump found shelter in a fawning political rally in florida this weekend, disorganization and disarray in the white house. Im here because i want to be among my friends. But the president still does not have a National Security adviser, that after mr. Trumps First Security adviser general Michael Flynn was forced to resign last week for misleading white house officials about conversations with the russian ambassador. Trump met with four possibilities sunday including john bolton and Keith Kellogg. Harward rejected the offer to be appointed because the white house would not assign him his staff. The new National Security advise ler have a free hand. He can to whatever he or she wants to with the nsc and the makeup of the nsc. I also want to speak to you withoue news. President trumps sharp criticism of skeptical News Coverage continued. In one tweet he called the leading news organizations the enemy of the american people.

I will also be requesting that all nato nations promptly pay their bills. The u. S. Must be prepared to let these themselves. This morning general mattis touches down in baghdad on an unannounced visit. Shortly before he distanced himself by this remarks be President Trump. They used to say keep the oil.

Who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers. Theyre having trouble. But there hasnt been a terror attack in sweden since 2010. Mr. Trumps statement prompted this tweet from the former sweden prime minister. Sweden . What haas he been smoking . Questions abound. He said he was actually referencing a report he saw earlier on fox news which referenced an increase of immigrants to that country. Fwail . Thank you very much. C b bs contributor, former cia director michael morell. Good morning. Good morning. Should voters be concerned that there is no one in place right now today a month in . So with the secretary of state and secretary of de the most important it. Is the National Security advisers job to bring the National Security team toekts and present options and recommendations to the president. So its an extremely important job and the fact that we dont have one right now is a problem. Vice admiral harward said part of the reason he turned town the job, he couldnt have his own team. You heard yesterday, now they can have whatever they want. Change of position . I think the dichotomy matters. Its important that the president of the United States is comfortable with the National Security adviser. So it makes sense they would have to go to the president and say heres what i want me tell puchlt but there are otherishes that should be nonany fwoesh shl. Its the kind of matters here, not just autonomy itself. Are there different faxction developing in and around the National Security council, michael . Yeah, i think so. I think one faction is the steve bann en steve miller faction. Not just islam but china. That faction sees russia as an all lie. And then youve got another group led by matteson and tillerson. They see russia as a threat. And then you have trump himself, which seems to believe that if will are direct tliethreats, we should crush them. There are three different views and u. S. Policy together to reflect all three of those and how its going to wok. On that note if you look at Vice President s rivals are looking, theyre deeply concerned as an incohernt form policy. Whats your take on that . Were hearing instand messages. Its messages about russia and the future of the alliance. I think whats important to remember is that the person what they really listen, to the person that they focus on the are wording of the president of the United States. Less important are what the others say. Newly revealed security video from malaysia shows the moment when the half brother ofnorth korea was assassinated.

Six of his followers carried out the truck bombing at the twin towers about eight years before 9 11. The bombing killed six people and injured more than a thousand. The worst traffic. A new study says los angeles had their worst congestion last year. The average driver wasted 104 hours sitting in gridlock during peak. That doesnt look like fun. No, it does not.

What she described is abhorrent and against everything that believes in. Three former gymnasts went public on 60 minutes last night. They claim dr. Nassar sexually abused them and described it as treatment. He was charged with child pornography in different cases. One of the gymnasts talked to our dr. Jon lapook. We need to warn you here they describe the treatment in disturbing detail. Did he use a glove . No. How many times did you have this kind of a procedure . I mean it happened all the way to the olympics in sydney. I was 18. From the time you were around 13 or so until 18. Yes. Placing his hand in the vagina of 9yearolds ungloved for no good reason. Wrong. Reporter California Attorney john manly represents the women we interviewed and more than 40 other, one as young as 9 years old, and most under 18 at the time they say they were abused. How many women did he do that too . We know there are at least 60 that have come forward but my best estimate is its in the hundreds and possibly more. Jamie dan cher won a bronze medal in the games. Jessica howard was a National China in rhythm jgymnasts. All three are among those claiming that nassar abused them. I think your layer mr. Manly said it best when he said wrong when he described what was hanning. He also said during a piece last night that this has been going on for speak up now . I thinkts important that we take these things that have been hid p for so long and expose them because there hasnt been a change in the sports for 30 years. For you . I decided to speak up because well, first of all, i didnt realized this happened to me until last year in july. What do you mean . You didnt know it was abuse. No. I didnt even think about it. What did you think it was, jamie . Treatment. I never even questioned it because i trusted dr. Nassar and usa gymnastics. So for me to speak up and come forward is about making sure this doesnt happen to little girls and that also, you know, other victims are out there right now. This is happening all over the u. S. Its important for them to know that they have a voice and that if they do speak up, theyre going be believed. Is this s ever talked about with each other or other gymnasts over the years or were you all kind of in the same boat that you didnt know what was happened to you. I know i never talked to anybody about it because i sought this treatment. There was sun tons of treatment you got including getting your ankle taped. You dont tell people you got your ankle taped. Its a normal thing. For all of u we just realized in the last five or six months it was abuse and then we connected over you know, over the last few months, its the first time we talked about it. To compare stories because none of you all knew it was happening to the other. When i was watching last night, i put on my mommy hat and thought, you never told your parents, you never said anything to your mom or dad about it. Why . I think for us when youre sent off to camp, i mean you dont really talk about stuff that happens in camp. And your parents my parents thought i was in good hands. They with a national team, everything was being done to protect me. Yeah. Are you usa gymnastics said it first learned of concerns in june of 2015. Are you happy with the way theyve reacted or do you think the organization did enough to protect you . No, absolutely not. In going back to the parenting, its important to know that they werent allowed to go to camp with us and theyre also highly encouraged not even to watch practice at highlevel gymnastijigymnasti gymnasti gymnastics. So im sorry. The question was yeah. How the organization has responded. Its a whole culture. Theyve known about abuse, but way bigger than just dr. Nassar. This trickles down to gyms across the whole nation that abuse is going on. And theyve been covering it up for over 30 doctor, youre saying. Absolutely. Theres coaches, theres i mean people in gyms all across the country. My personal coach had abused somebody back in the 80s and it came out and nothing really happened about it. Abused how, gennett . What we heard just now . No. With other gymnasts back in the day. Different coach, difference abuse. You guys have filed lawsuit against usa gymnastics. What do you hope to accomplish . We want with all of our hearts for this to never happen again to anybody else and for the culture of abuse both emotional and physical and sexual just to not be a part of our sport. We all love our sport and we want it to come across to everybody watching to everybody who might fall in love with it that its safe and its not safe right now. Emotional abuse is rampant and physical abuse is out there and sexual abuse is a by product of what happens when that is all right. Jamie, jessica, gennett, thank you for coming forward. Very brave.

The idea that foreign aggressors can come in like putin and disrupt our election is a huge problem. The more concerning to me is the more we hear, the worse it gets. All of a sudden not just did our Intelligence Community intercept conversations his staff had with russia but trump was that knowing that it took place when he said it didnt. There was a proposal sent through trumps lawyer by passing the Security Apparatus in exchange for some policy changes on ukraine. This is incredibly scary, and the big missing two big missing pieces. We need to know more about what these conversations were with the russians and trumps staff. We even fwobet to see trumps taxes. When is that going to happen, robby . I think he may be telling the truth when he says hes not invested in russia. Whats going on, russia is deeply invested in him. Congress has got to demand these taxes. Lets talk about congress because they could subpoena his tax returns. Are you dejts the republicans in congress who are leading these investigations will get to the bottom of this . You know, whats this is a partisan issue, i really dont. The idea that a foreign country has been able to get borouuu into our political system should be concerning. Weve had Lindsey Graham speak out on this and one house member sign on. Everyones got to get on board. If it was the democrats in 2016, its owes going to be the republicans next time. We should all be afraid. He said, your candidate, lost, deal with it. Your candidate was out of touch with america, deal with it. And you now are all try togs die flekt and blame it on the russians. What do you say to that . I actually do you believe that it did . I think it could have. This is the key. No Campaign Manager, no Campaign Manager should ever sit on a news program and say, i dont know. The russians might have been the reason we lost the election. Its notor wore. Its important that it could have been the reason and its important that it never happen again. You think it could extend beyond the election and into domestic policy. How and why is that . Its very clever what the russians have set up. Its a whole system to dissemina disseminate. It used to be russia today. They called r. T. To hire an American News anchor. They have a whole system of fake twitter personalities that have a lot of american followers and throughout all of these, they push it out. So you know tess when it comes to Vladimir Putin and sanctions, these are things that used to have bipartisan support. Now were actually discussing should we lift the sanctions, should we not . Weve got to get it out. Heres the thing. Russias just one country. Everybody else can play this game. s very cheap, and very easy. Weve got to make it hard and you said its like earlier. Somebody broke in to the dnc. Its a foreign country. The president has been lying about it. He lied about whether his staff was talking to russia. The more we learn the closer it gets to the president himself and the scarier it gets. Well continue. Thaerng you very much for joining us. We want to see how the countrys responding to the president s actions so far. Were following the series called we the people. Well learn their reaction to the Trump Presidency and why they all share a common hope. Temperatures are expected to hit a more record high this week. In chicago people enjoyed the springlike weather yesterday, yeah, they did. On saturday the high was 70 degrees. Dozens of cities broke temperature records over the weekend. Dean reynolds is in chicago where the high is expected to be 63 today. Dean, good morning.

Reporter three Straight Days of record highs had people trading their winter hats and coats for shorts and tee shirtds. Dumping out everything i would wear. Golf courses in neighboring indiana opened a month early. Put as little extra pep in your step. Climatology director says a steady stream of High Pressure has kept this winters brutal storms on the west coast from traveling east. Think of this as a mountain of air thats often sinking air and that creates clear skies, helps to warm things up with increasing sunlight. It melts away the snow, and it has served as a block to keeping some of the stormier weather out of the Eastern Region weeks. A couple of years ago subzero windchills had midwesterners covering up head to toby whatever means necessary. This one is one of my personal favorite, kind of a cross between nanook and yosemite sam. Not all winter activities have been a total meltdown. Hundreds showed up to this brief ice festival in ohio. I havent read the longterm forecast, but if this continues, im going to be outside, no question. Yeah. Reporter now, the balmy weather is expected to continue through wednesday, and for those of you keeping score at home, chicago has now gone at least two months without one inch of gayle . Wow.

Ahead, the kind snack bar. Have you had one of these. Theyre good President Trump, a nation that remains deeply divided. I think hes done good so far noen though he cant get his cab t approved.

The kind Healthy Snack company is taking on special interests in the Food Industry. This follow as clash with the kind was told it could not call its fruit and nut bars healthy because of the amount of fat but the agency later reversed course. And now theyre committing 25 million over ten years to commit an organization. Its called feed the truth. It wants to, quote, stop biased funding from influencing nutrition policy. Daniel is ceo of kind bar snacks. They both join us at the table. Good morning to you both. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Daniel, putting in 25 million of your own money says you are very serious about this. This is not just a photo op for you. What do you want to accomplish . I mean for over two decades, not just related to what you described, ive been concerned that sometimes the zealousness of our Community Gets a little bit beyond what it should be and people start thinking long term and more about shortterm interest and i felt i needed to balance the level Playing Field to allow scientists and doctors and knew trishists to inform on public policy. It came back to bite us. They paid harvard scientists to try to deflect it from sugar and point the finger at fat. And its not just sugar. Its every special interest who gets a little bit overzealous and does not think about whats in the best interest of people. Didnt it throw you . First they said you cant call your snack healthy and then they reversed that. Didnt that spur something . Yes. And when i learned of what the regulation meant, i was like how can the current regulation you can have sa man or almonds and avocado and that cannot b determined healthy and you have cereal with sugar and it can be called healthy. That didnt make sense to me. When we filed the petition it was really going beyond the issue we didnt use it on the back hand. It was more of like public policy. They were telling me that the last time that the definition of healthy was redefined by the Food Drug Administration was 1993, so its up for redefinition. Is it possible to rebalance this debate given how much money gets spent in lobbying by the various Food Industries . Yeah. I mean i think im not sure most people are aware that every ingredient and every food group has a lobbyist in d. C. This is democracy. So they deserve to have a right to have a voice. Just in 2016, 600 food groups lobbied the u. S. Fo food agriculture. So this 25 Million Investment and it took a lot of hutzpah for dan ya to move this forward. The key is purposely doing it as a ceo of a Snack Bar Company is having wants to be independent from anything going forward, which is why im here. So, deb, i hear about this a lot at home because my husband sam was your predecessor at the white house. Wheres the balance . It sounds leak theres a need for a more aggressive stance, but at the same time the Food Industry isnt going to change. How do you strike that balance . Yeah. I think its more we need to strengthen the science and we need to strengthen the information that the public has around what is hello the because you shouldnt have to be a registered dietician to go into the Grocery Store to decide what to pick up and put in your grocery cart. The average family spend 40s minutes in the Grocery Store and spends two minutes reading labels. You just throw your things in. Its the responsibil entity, this new entity, feed the truth, is to really help strengthen the science and help make sure theres more transparency. To be very clear, im going to have involvement going forward. Youve separated yourself. Im going to only fund it and then separate it. I will have no role. You want to get it out there. Theyre not going to even be the board. Theyre going to appoint a board. For us, particularly with my wifes reaction, i thought i had she said, youre doing what . Are you crazy .

A federal peels court blocked his travel ban. 14 candidate appointees who required Senate Confirmation are in place. Also in the first management, andr andr andr andrew pun zer. And he also nominated kne ed kne such. In the skonlds installment of our series we the people we go beyond the polls to explore americans hopes and fears under the trump at administration. So we traveled all around the country to talk with four derchlts people each with different backgrounds and beliefs. Here they are in their own words. My name is holy. My name is leo smith. My name is cesar. My name is steven shook. Im from carmel, california, i started up my own business and i voted for donald trump. I grew up in a christian home. Since trump has taken office, i think hes really trying to make it easier for people like myself to start up their own are now joined in a Great National effort. Being able to give the Government Back to the people, give the economy back to the peopl people, i think hes doing a great job so far even though he cant get his cabinet approved. If you did vote for donald trump, im having a hard time wondering how you still are for him. He has been kind of reneging on his campaign. The job im in, being a special educator, you have to remain optimistic every day. I wake up every morning scared to turn the news on just because of what i might see. And ive taken decisionive action to keep radical islam ek terrorists the hell out of our country. I do feel optimistic. This is a free country and we to need to respektd the laws w we are a nation of law but also a nation of just law. I came here when i was just 5 years old after my father passed away when i was just a little babe. And my mother like any loving mother took the brave decision to get me a better life. We crossed the border in the middle of darkness at night. Because of the work of my mother, was the first to become an undocumented attorney and apply and become an attorney in new york. Donald trumps rhetoric has been divisive. Children were afraid the see their parents walk out because they may never see them again. Were sees the response of those with different backgrounds, police officers, teachers coming together to say, here, were here to support and open our homes. Sadly were creating this modernday railroad where people have the hide from the hes addressing immigration. He may have done it in a blunlts way but what hes dub, needed to be done sh. The russian enfluns and everything around it, hes claiming theyre fake new and hes very upset these leaks happened. He wasnt upset when he was using wikileaks to smear hillary clinton. I think trumps presence on twitter is kind of good. I think its great to hear kind of the inner thoughts of the president. Hes expressing his feelings. These guys are says, yes, heres what were going to do. I dont expect him to have, you know, the style of ronald reagan. Im not looking for a rhetorical genius. Im looking for a guy who will fix the problems of american. This has to do with racism and horrible things shah are been put up. Since the election and working for the gop, focus on empowering people who feel im very interested in seeing what betsy devos is going to do to make sure education becomes an option for people who want to escape pofberty again. I want to talk about what your thoughts are on it. I was asking to clarify. Thats a question a College Student could answer going into education. I could lose vouchers, services for my special education students might disappear. I think thats best left to locales and states. She just said shell consider everything. Some may say her bed sign manner want all that gray great but she did the best. The leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake. I think the media is split to make trump look bad that he has to call with those beautiful, beautiful words made in the usa. With the racism, i feel like were live back in the 50s. I feel that if america doesnt come together in a way of unifying, not listening to all the grenades that are thrown in the room, that people who want to insight, the people who want to emotionally manipulate after one month of the Trump Presidency, eemg lo presidency, im hopeful. Were fearless and were going to achieve the American Dream for everybody, not just a few. Im hopeful well see really strong agenda items on education and job creation and Infrastructure Development in america. The United States is a very resilient country and at the end of the day, were it. We will continue following up with hallie, leo, cesar, and steven to see how their perspectives may change during the Trump Administration. I meant to say cesar. It was interesting. Its about piercing the bubble and finding out what americans actually think and thats a great way to find out. You see again a Huge Division along those lines. Yep. Thats true. Oscar nominated director Damien Chazelle was terrified before the premiere of his movie la la land. It held lifelt like a child,g it off to its first day of school. You hope it doesnt get bullied, that it will come back in one piece, not hey, bud. You need some help . No, im good. Come on, moe. I have to go. vo we always trusted our Subaru Impreza would be there for him someday. Ok. Thats it. See ya later, moe. vo introducing the allnew Subaru Impreza. The longestlasting vehicle in its class. More than a car, its a subaru. Something it could be less than nothing hollywood is singing the praises of emma stone and ryans goly in the hit film la la land. The film has received nominations, a tie for the most ever. One of those nominations is for Damien Chazelle as best director. Its the 32yearold cereal commercial feature. He describes it as a movie he had to make. d describe myself as a musician. I was one of those people who got uncomfortable when a movie breaks into sound. That all changed. After he saw the daring dance sequences many films like an american in paris and singing in the rain. I think theres something outlandish about them in a wonderful free libya raying way that you dont see as much of in hollywood anymore. Were a little more literal now. Reporter la la land is a modern romance between a jazz musician played by ryan gosling and an actress played by emma zone. Chazelle calls it a love letter to the kind of dreams society often mocks. You didnt want the tans numbers to be technically perfect. No. I wanted them to boo human. There had to be a certain amount of humility but a certain kind of grandeur to it because love makes everything grand. When did you know you wanted to make movies . I never want dodd anything else. I never wanted to do anything else. Reporter when chazelle was ten, his father wass he first cameraman. But then i would be very unhappy with the footage because the camera was never pointed the way it was supposed to be and he would improvise because it was fprbpdeen. So i had to learn how to use the camera myself and i did it my camera. Reporter at harvard where he studied film, chazelles thesis was called park bench. It would be the dress rehearsal for la la land which he started writing 2010. When you first took lala land to people out in hollywood, what did they say . Interest was nowhere to be found, to be quite frank, for quite a while. Reporter so chazelle wrote a screenplay. The film whiplash which he also directed would win three oscars. Not quite my tempo. Its all good. Reporter and suddenly hollywood was interested in lala land. Yeah. It took a lot to open the door. Thawa your second film to want it to be a musical. Yes. Youre not wrong. A lot of people would have chosen something safer. I never thought there was a choice. La la land was this film i was desperate to make for years, years before whiplash. Reporter the films opening dance number is also its most ambitious. They shut down an onramp on l. A. To shoot the scene with 100 dancers. How many takes did it take you to make that work . Somewhat like 30 takes to make it work. Theres not usually a lot of middle ground. Yeah. Theres nothing quite as bad as a bad musical. I got a call back. What . Come on. Come on. For a tv show. Reporter so chazelle approached the premiere last year in terror. Because it was so personal and also because most of my memory with this movie was, no, that wont work, no one wants to see that. City stars are shining just for me reporter but they have. La la land has earned more than 300 million at the box office and tied a record for oscar nods. 14 Academy Award nominations. Yeah. I was a little surprised. Its a little surreal. Would you make another musical . Absolutely. Just not any time soon. Not in the next couple of years. Oh, anthony. Thats so beautiful. I love this movie and really loved him. I think hes terrific. Hes really rolled the dice with this and came up with a winner. I loved seeing the old footage. These where he met up with justin hurwitz. He said if he hadnt agreed to to the music at harvard, this would have never happened. I think oscar night is going to be very kind for mr. Chazelle. I think so. 14 nominations. Do not miss this story. A pet lizard proves that he can also be a mans best friend. This is getting a lot of attention. Youre watching cbs this morning. Prodders, shuckersers, and sniffers, [ inhales ] all giant produce is triple checked. Farm, crate, and store. Were focusing on fresh. So you dont have to guess. My giant. A pet lizard is at the center of a growing internet debate. His owner says when he waves to his pet, it waves back. It is just a reflexa, but then again you might say hes auditioning for an insurance commercial. Hes deliberately waving.
