Yeah, yeah, yeah. Usher rides shotgun with james corden in the latest car pool karaoke. Oh this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs in morning. As you wake up in the west, the senate has reconvened for republicans latest attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. The first vote suffered a bipartisan rebuke late last night. Nine republicans joined every democrat to oppose that plan. Hours earlier senator john mccain made a dramatic return to the chamber. Mccain received a standing ovation from senate colleagues. This was mccains first time back since being diagnosed with brain cancer. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the big challenge is facing the republican effort to overturn obamacare. Nancy, good to see the senator. Good morning. Reporter it really was. But then that big setback for republicans just a couple of hours later. What that vote shows is that whatever republicans end up with at the conclusion of this dayslong process, it is unlikely to be a full replacement plan for obamacare. This was the latest replacement plan they have got and it saw defections from moderates, from conservatives and some centrists. The motion is not agreed upon. Reporter the setback came just hours after the senate narrowly voted to begin debate. Even then, it took john mccain arriving from arizona to put republicans over the top. Mr. Mccain, aye. Reporter senator mccain, newly diagnosed with cancer, then berated the body he has served in for 30 years. We are getting nothing done, my friends. We are getting nothing done. Reporter he made it clear that while he voted to start debate on the gops plan, he is no fan of the plan itself. I will not vote for this bill as it is today. Its a shell of a bill right now. We all know that. Reporter mccain said the problem lies with the way the bill was constructed behind closed doors. Bringing it on skeptical members, trying to convince them that its better than nothing. That its better than nothing . I dont think thats going to work in the end, and probably shouldnt. Reporter protesters across the capitol agreed. Mccain urged his colleagues to return to the senates roots and compromise. Lets trust each other. Lets return to regular order. Weve been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle. Reporter his colleagues applauded him. John mccain is my hero. Reporter even as they prepared lets repeal obamacare, lower premiums. Reporter for the intensely partisan battle to come. Are we going to fight . Yeah. Reporter mccain says hes going to be returning to phoenix in a few days to begin cancer treatment, but he joked that he will be back, charlie, to make all his colleagues regret the nice things they have been saying about him lately. John mccain has both republicans and democrats well wishes as he goes back for this medical treatment. The question is for me and, i think, america, what next . Where are we . Whats going to happen . Reporter well, this process that republicans are using allows for unlimited amendments from the right and the left, so this is really a series of votes, perhaps hundreds of votes on amendments that could take several days. And theres no guarantee that it will result in anything. You have a lot of republicans, charlie, who have said that theyre very skeptical about anything that their party has put forward so far. So its quite possible that theyll vote no at the end of the day and republicans will have to go back to the drawing board, maybe even with democrats. Thank you, nancy. President trump is banning Transgender Americans from military service. The president tweeted this morning the United States government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u. S. Military. He cites medical costs and, quote, disruption. Mr. Trump says that he consulted with generals and military experts. His decision overturns an obama era policy allowing transgender people to serve openly. The nations top Law Enforcement officer is under new pressure from President Trump. Mr. Trump yesterday stepped up his attacks on attorney general Jeff Sessions. He refused to say whether sessions job is safe. The president took the stage last night before a friendly audience at a rally in ohio and touted his own leadership style. Sometimes they say he doesnt act president ial. With the exception of the late great abraham lincoln, i can be more president ial than any president thats ever held this office. That i can tell you. Margaret brennan is at the white house with what she can tell us about the president marking a milestone in office. Margaret, good morning. Reporter good morning. President trump hit the campaign trail to find refuge from the turmoil here in washington. He defended his unconventional approach with his trademark hyperbo hyperbole. Is there any place thats more fun, more exciting and safer than a trump rally . Reporter nearly 300 miles from washington, President Trump supporters cheered him, but cameras also caught protesters getting man handled on the way to the exit. Boy, hes a young one. Hes going back home to mommy. Oh, is he in trouble. Reporter during the campaignstyle rally, the president made brief references to the senates move to open debate on health care. He issued a warning to senators considering voting against the bill. Any senator who votes against repeal and replace is telling america that they are fine with the obamacare nightmare, and i predict theyll have a lot of problems. Reporter he also touted an announcement made tuesday by his embattled attorney general, Jeff Sessions. My administration is launching a nationwide crackdown on sanctuary cities. Reporter but didnt cite his name or give him credit. The president s frustration with sessions decision to recuse himself from the russia investigation was laid bare at an earlier news conference. He should have told me prior to taking office, and i would have quite simply picked somebody else. Reporter it was sessions recusal that eventually led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. The president has not forgiven sessions and was asked why he does not fire him. We will see what happens. Time will tell. Reporter but firing sessions could be interpreted as an attempt to obstruct muellers investigation, and it could alienate sessions former colleagues. Utah republican, orrin hatch. Jeff has been very loyal to the president. I think he deserves loyalty back. Reporter sessions has shown no interest in resigning. On twitter this morning, the president also questioned why sessions had not fired the acting fbi director, who the president accused of political bias and also said was just simply too close to already ousted fbi director james comey. All right. Everybody is watching. Thank you, margaret. The truck driver involved in a deadly smuggling operation in texas was driving without a commercial license. James bradley is charged with illegally transporting immigrants for financial gain resulting in death. He could face the death penalty. San Antonio Police estimate more than 100 undocumented immigrants were inside the truck bradley was driving sunday morning. Ten of them died. Mark strassmann is in san antonio with a look at the drivers long criminal past. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. James bradley jr. Received his commercial drivers license in 2004 and lost it three months ago. Florida took it from him after he failed to submit a required medical card. But he kept driving. The last time with human cargo. James bradley claimed to know nothing about more than 100 people crammed into the back of the overheated semi that had no food, water or air conditioning. According to court documents, bradley has a 20year criminal history that includes felony arrests in colorado for menacing and assault and in florida for an escape warrant. Nobody understands our pain. Reporter investigators are turning to survivors for information. Many of them wed like to use as witnesses to build a criminal investigation. Not only against the driver, but trying to identify other members of the organization. Reporter were now learning more about the victims who died in the smuggling operation, including 19yearold frank fuentes. He reportedly graduated from high school in virginia, but had been deported to guatemala in march. Tuesday night members of an immigrant rights group gathered in houston to comfort the families of those who died trying to come to the u. S. We will continue to be with you and continue to fight so that we never have to be in this situation ever again. Reporter frank fuentes, who died in that truck, was deported after he served time in virginia for assault and was also a suspected gang member. James bradley jr. s future may become more clear tomorrow. Hes scheduled to appear again in federal court. Thank you very much, mark. New Research Says that speeding is almost as big a factor in deadly crashes as drunk driving. Federal regulators say nearly a third of deadly crashes from 2005 to 2014 were related to speed. On average, more than 11,000 people are killed in those kind of accidents every year. Kris van cleave is on massachusetts avenue in washington, d. C. , with the new calls to increase efforts to crack down on speeding. Kris, good morning. Reporter good morning. Drivers may hate them, but studies show speed cameras when properly placed can significantly reduce speeding, which can make roads safer for drivers and pedestrians. But theyre only legal in less than a third of the country, and the ntsb says that needs to change. Were up to 60 Miles Per Hour now. Shes going 11 over. Reporter Fairfax County Police Captain Michael Grinnan has spent 24 years on patrol. Speeders are a daily part of life. Any reason youre going that fast . Whats the biggest challenge in trying to stop speeders . Theres so many of them. Its a matter of where do i go . Reporter he says the department has found drivers are going seven or eight miles over the speed limit, but the faster a driver goes, the longer it takes to stop. The ntsb identified more than 100,000 deaths due to speeding between 2005 and 2014. Thats nearly as many killed in alcoholinvolved crashes. Every mile an hour that you increase by, youre increasing your likelihood of a crash. Reporter Robert Sumwalt is the acting ntsb chairman. This study shows we can improve the way that we set speed limits and enforce speed limits. Reporter the safety board is call for expanding the use of speed cameras. Only 14 states and washington, d. C. , currently use them and rarely on freeways where drivers go the fastest. Another recommendation encourages pointtopoint enforcement where a driver can be ticketed for getting from point a to point b faster than the time it would take following the speed limit. Police use radar or laserbased detectors to spot speeders. They can also follow a car called pacing to confirm its going too fast. Captain grinnan says its about targeting enforcement to prevent deadly crashes. Looking at where these accidents occurred and how can we change peoples behaviors in terms of speeding. I think the biggest way is just by being present out there. Reporter virginia does not currently allow speed cameras, and we should tell you deaths on the road have soared over the last two years. An estimated 14 , to around 40,000. The ntsb says an unintended consequence the largest study of brain trauma in Football Players reveals the risk to player of all ages. Researchers at Boston University examined the brains of 111 deceased nfl players and found the disease cte in 110. Families of the former players donated the brains after they suspected injuries. The study also found evidence of cte in College Players and younger athletes, too. Doctor davd, these results are disturbing. How big a deal is this and how concerned should Football Players be and the people that love them be concerned about this . These are big questions. And so certainly this is the largest done to look at football player. 1928 was the first description of punch drunk syndrome for boxers hit in the head. Were seeing these repetitive head blows call the accumulation of a protein called tow in the brain and as it progresses and the person ages, it gets more severe and more symptoms happen. How concerned should people be about this . Very concerned. Were seeing it in high school Football Players and as you get to college the numbers go up dramatically and in the pros the numbers went to 99 . So this is a major issue, and if if a child is going to play football, what we think at least the data point to the earlier you start the more of a chance of this happening. Then certainly we need to Pay Attention here. We need to change the rules or figure out ways to protect them. The nfl says it will continue to work with a wide range of experts to improve the health of current and former nfl athletes and there are still many Unanswered Questions about what leads to longterm effects from head trauma. Is that enough from the nfl . Well, a year ago the nfl admitted that cte can be caused by repetitive head trauma in football so i like that step forward but i think a lot more needs to be done. We need to reassess the rules, the protective head gear. We need to look at ways we can prevent the progression from trauma to this cte, and maybe there are medicines that can reduce inflammation in the brain. We need to really take an aggressive stance because footballs not going to go away but we need to allow the Football Players to live a long and normal life. Its interesting, because hall of fame quarterback ken stablers brain was also examined for the study. The New York Times has that picture you can see it on their website, shows moderate cte. What was interesting to me, this affects quarterbacks, too. No question about it. You see in his picture here that brown in the bottom corner is the accumulation of the protein of tow. If you put a normal brain there, you would only see that the really light color, not the dark brown and its the repetitive head trauma. It doesnt need to be a concussion. We think multiple repetitive head traumas. Quarterbacks get knocked down on a normal basis. That protein is accumlalted. So in the study, there was even a punter that was shown to have cte. Wow, dr. David agus more on this matter thank you. The widow of a murdered new York City Police detective gave birth to their child more than two years after his death. The healthy baby girl was born yesterday in new york. The mother used in vitro fertilization with sperm that was preserved after her husband was killed.
