KPIX CBS This Morning May 3, 2017

Eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. So we have more money now for the border than weve gotten in ten years. The democrats didnt tell you that. They forgot. President trump says the government needs a good shutdown. Trump got rolled so bad it was unbelievable. I think the president is frustrated that he negotiated in good faith and the democrats went out to try and spike the football and make him look bad. Even if the budget looks like we had a president obama, so long as he comes out thinking he won, i think well be fine. Hillary clinton says there is plenty of blame to go around for her stunning defeat. Did we make mistakes . Of course we did. But the reason why i believe we lost were the intervening events in the last ten days. Another round of heavy rain is on the way from missouri. It looks like a lake. Its actually a road. One night after he was verbally attacked with racial slurs, the orioles adam jones got a standing ovation in his first atbat at fenway. Appreciative that action was taken. Congress delivered a warning to Airline Executives. Fix Customer Service or we will do it for you. Some amazing video out of washington state. A small plane crashed onto a roadway. Its a miracle nobody was hurt. All that the White House Briefing ended in bizarre fashion. Sean spicer didnt answer any questions today. Sean Sean Sean Spicer where did sean go . He just walked away. And all that matters there was a call between russian president Vladimir Putin and President Trump. It was a pretty long call, although most of it was you hang up, no, you hang up, no, no, you hang up. On cbs this morning. I was on the way to winning until a combination of jim comeys letter on october 28th and russian wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off. And i was on the way to winning that race until usain bolt ran faster than me. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. President trump says its time for congress to vote on replacing obamacare. But the newest plan appears to be on the brink of collapse. It still does not have enough republican support to pass in the house. The house will vote today on a compromised budget. The president plans to sign it but hes not happy on concessions to democrats. He tweeted yesterday that a good shutdown of the government would force the senate to pass a better budget for next year. Major garrett is at the white house where the president is working to save the health care bill. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. The white house is scrambling, and President Trump is meeting right now with two prominent House Republicans now opposed to the latest version of the house bill to repeal and replace obamacare. This hastily arranged meeting between the president and congressman fred upton of michigan and billy long of missouri is designed to find a way to protect coverage for preexisting conditions without losing conservatives who have recently come on to the bill. This is what winning looks like. Reporter President Trump cut a deal with Congressional Democrats to keep the government open and running until the end of september. He landed more defense spending, but he didnt fund the wall or cut nearly as much as he wanted. Our country needs a good shutdown in september to fix mess, the president wrote on twitter. His way of protesting the concessions. I dont think threatening a shutdown is good for america. Reporter democrats sounded the alarm. Ive been through a couple of shutdowns. Reporter office of management and budget director Mick Mulvaney was asked what a good shutdown would look like. The 2013 shutdown reportedly cost taxpayers 24 billion. It would be one that fixes this town. One that drives the message back home to people that it really was as broken as they thought that it was when they voted for donald trump. Reporter on health care, the president is impatient for a win. How is health care coming, folks . Reporter details no longer elude House Republicans, but votes still do. I think its time now, right . Right . They know its time. Reporter the latest cbs news count shows the revised bill teetering on the edge. Yesterday republicans lost the vote of influential moderate congressman fred upton, who said the new changes to the bill would torpedo protection for those with preexisting conditions. We were brought up to believe that we live in the greatest country in the world. Reporter latenight comedian jimmy kimmel drew attention to that topic during an emotional monologue about his son who was born with a heart defect. If your baby is going to die and doesnt have to, it shouldnt matter how much money you make. I think thats something whether youre a republican or a democrat or Something Else, we all agree on that, right . I mean we do. Reporter kimmels plea caught the eye of former president obama who tweeted thats exactly why we fought so hard for the aca. The fate of the Affordable Care act now appears to hinge on whether coverage for preexisting conditions will be a federal guarantee or a state option. Yeah, many people touched by jimmys emotional plea the other night. Thank you very much, major. President trump and russian president Vladimir Putin say they have agreed to work towards brokering a ceasefire in syria. They spoke on the phone yesterday for the First Time Since the u. S. Launched a missile strike against a syrian air base. President trump agreed to have a u. S. Representative attend talks that russia is leading on the civil war. The leaders plan to have their first facetoface meeting in germany this july. The fbi director just arrived on capitol hill to testify before the Senate Judiciary committee. James comey is expected to be asked about the fbi investigation into the trump campaigns possible russia ties. Comeys testimony comes as Congress Prepares for potentially explosive hearing next week with former acting attorney general sally yates. She previously sounded the alarm about ousted National Security advisor mike flynn. Jeff pegues is on capitol hill. Reporter good morning. Director comey returns to capitol hill with this fbi Counter Intelligence investigation just under ten months old, but there is another key figure in this investigation who will testify next monday. As mentioned, that is former acting attorney general sally yates, who believed that former National Security advisor Michael Flynn was compromised when he worked in the white house in january and early february. Flynn was fired after misleading the Vice President after his contacts with Russian Ambassador sergey kislyak. Members of congress will want to know why the white house waited more than two weeks to fire flynn. Yates was originally supposed to testify in march, but that hearing was abruptly cancelled by then Committee Chairman devin nun nunes. Just yesterday members of the Senate Intelligence committee boarded buses to cia headquarters in langley, virginia, where they were briefed on Sensitive Information about russian interference, but all eyes here today on director comey as this hearing gets under way. He is known, as you know, for surprises. The last time he testified in open hearing here on capitol hill, he sent shock waves. All right, thank you, jeff. Hillary clinton says the fbis directors reopening of her email investigation is one reason why she was not elected president. The former democratic candidate spoke yesterday at a womens rights conference. President trump responded on twitter that comey was, quote, the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton. He also claimed the trump russia story was an excuse used by the democrats was justification for losing the election. Nancy cordes looks at clintons latest reaction. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Clinton said she took some personal responsibility for her loss, but she didnt really elaborate on what she or her campaign could have done better. She did go into detail about the other factors she says led to her defeat. I highly recommend long walks in the woods. It is far healthier than screaming at your television set. Reporter clinton did not reflect on her failed bid at a gala celebrating planned parenthood. You know, if the election had been on october 27th, id be your president. Reporter but earlier in the day she spoke candidly saying her victory was derailed by forces out of her control. It wasnt a perfect campaign. There is no such thing. But i was on the way to winning until a combination of jim comeys letter on october 28th and russian wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off. Reporter clinton also found fault in the president ial debates, which she says focused too much on personality. I was waiting for the moment when one of the people asking the questions would have said, well, so how exactly how are you going to create more jobs . Right . I mean i thought, you know, i thought at some moment that would happen. Reporter but that moment did happen more than once. Please explain to me why you believe that your plan will create more jobs and growth for this country and your opponents plan will not. Reporter the former secretary of state mocked the man who beat her for attempting International Diplomacy via twitter. Negotiations are critical, but they have to be part of a broader strategy, not just thrown out on a tweet some morning that, hey, lets get together and see if we cant get along. Maybe we can, you know, come up with some sort of a deal. That doesnt work. Clinton did say she supports President Trumps decision to launch air strikes in syria last month, but beyond that she had little praise and even described herself, gayle, as part of the Resistance Movement that has erupted in reaction to his presidency. All right, thank you very much, nancy. More to come from Hillary Clinton, it seems. Towns and highways are under way in missouri this morning. The Meramec River crested overnight. Michelle miller is in eureka outside of st. Louis. Michelle, good morning. Reporter good morning. Yesterday at this time those pumps at this gas station stood drier dry, but after the Meramec River crested breaking a record by more than half a foot, theyre standing in several inches of water and theres growing concern of even more flooding as there are four more inches of rain forecast today. A birdseye view shows the extent of the devastating floods across the state of missouri. Streets seem to disappear into the murky waters. You all are going to have to decide which side of the river you want to be on. Reporter more than 200 roads remain closed, including large parts of interstate 44, seen here submerged under feet of water. This railroad bridge swallowed up by the rising Meramec River collects passing debris instead of providing passage for trains. The st. Louis county Police Department looks like it lives on its own island. It is so going to hit the bridge. Reporter this home was seen floating down the current river, eventually slamming into a bridge. In downtown eureka, just outside of st. Louis, Community Members are coming together to save their city. This is our community. I live in eureka, ive been out here since i was 13 years old. I know all these people. We want to keep this community up and running. Reporter volunteers have been working with the National Guard and even the coast guard to help fill and distribute sandbags. So all of these sandbags and all of this plastic are keeping the water out of these businesses . They are minimizing the water intrusion where the pumps on the other side keep the water from getting up to the level behind it. Reporter about ten miles away in fenton, Darryl Davidson is hoping the fortress of sandbags surrounding his mothers home will keep the water away. If the river wins, the river wins. Were going to try our best not to let it win this year like it did last year. Reporter about 16 months ago, a rare december storm swept through these same river towns causing damage to hundreds of homes. This system is expected to have a Ripple Effect throughout the rest of the country with Severe Weather in both texas and louisiana tonight. Michelle, thank you. The Justice Department has closed its investigation into a deadly Louisiana Police shooting. It decided not to bring any charges against two officers. Alton sterlings death last summer was captured on cell phone and store surveillance video. The controversial shooting triggered weeks of protest in baton rouge. Police arrested nearly 200 people. Sterlings family is upset the Justice Department did not tell them the officers wont be charged before the news became public. David begnaud is in baton rouge outside the Convenience Store where sterling was killed. David, good morning. Reporter good morning. Weve just found out that louisianas governor has formally been notified that the department of justice will make an announcement in the alton sterling case today. Cbs news is reporting the announcement will be that no federal charges will be filed against the two Baton Rouge Police officers who were involved in the death of sterling right in that handicapped spot in front of the door here in front of the triple s mart. After sterling died it set off a series of protests that led to the shooting death of Police Officers in dallas and baton rouge.

Dozens of Peaceful Protesters held a vigil tuesday outside the triple s. They promised our family that they would let us know. Reporter the sorrow has not ended for sterlings family. It hurt, it hurt. It hurts so bad. Reporter sandra sterling wanted federal intervention after her nephews killing. Its crazy. Its like we waited all this time for nothing. An attorney for the Sterling Family told cbs news they have not been informed by the Justice Department of any decision or announcement. We got the New York Times and the Washington Post releasing statements and nobody talked to the governor, nobody talked to the mayor. Reporter congressman Cedric Richmond who represents baton rouge tweeted last night that the leak completely undermines of the Justice Department. No matter what the decision is, the process and the protocols and the way they have handsed this is just really terrible. Reporter so the story doesnt end with the fact no federal charges will be filed. Louisianas attorney general will now get the case and he will decide whether the officers should be charged criminally. Thank you, david. The Texas Police Officer accused of shooting and killing a 15yearold boy has been fired.
