He was presented to the houston hospital on saturday. What are you hearing . Good morning. Former president george h. W. Bush has been at Methodist Hospital for four days but his spokesm Spokesman Says hes being treated. He remains in stable condition. They hope to have him discharged soon. Why we werent updated earlier, we were told the family has a right to privacy and didnt want to alarm anyone without assessing the situation. Mr. Bush who suffers from a form of parkinsons was hospitalized in 2014 for seven weeks due to pneumonia. A year later the president broke a bone in his neck after a fall at the family home in kenny byung port main main. And he celebrated an anniversary with former senator bob dole. Now the former president who is expected to leave the houston hospital in a couple of days had not planned to leave for washington with his wife barbara for the thank you very much. Chip. We wish the former president well. President obama will leave with the most commutations in white house history. He pardoned 64 people yesterday and commuted the sentences of 200 others. Most are for drug offenses. Convicted leaker and former Army Private Chelsea Manning is among those who had their sentences reduced. Retired general james e. Cartwright who lied to the fbi in a leaked case involving iran was pardoned. Chelsea manning was due to be released in 2045. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison for espionage. Margaret brennan is at the white house with why the manning decision is so controversial. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. The decision to shortenen Chelsea Mannings sentence angered Many National security officials. Mannings 2010 leak of secret materials is one of the biggest breaches in u. S. History. Chelsea manning will now be released from the prison barracks at ft. Leavenworth in may. Manning has already served more than six years and has transitioned to live as a woman. The president s actions probably saved Chelsea Mannings life. Aclu attorney chase strangio noted his client who spent long stretches of time in solitaire confinement has twice attempted suicide in the last six months. The reality is there is no way she wu going to survive another 28 years in prison. The former Army Intelligence servesman had given over 200 documents to wick yoo leakes. Manning said i have never made any excuses for what i did. At time of the leak it put americans lives at risk but on friday Josh Mannings remorse was persuasive. As Chelsea Manning has acknowledged at the wree lease of the information that she provided to wikileaks was damaging to National Security, but the disclosures by Edward Snowden were far more serious and far more dangerous. Both considered themselves whistle blowers when they handed over u. S. Secrets, but unlike manning, Edward Snowden evaded u. S. Authorities and fled to russia. Just last week wikileaks founder julian asaunch tweeted he would turn himself in if president obama offered clemency to manning. The white house insisted there was no quid pro quo. Paul ryan called the president s decision outrages and mccain called it a grave mistake and said mannings dishonor will last forever. Meanwhile expect more russia has decided to extend the residents permit for Edward Snowden for a couple of years. This is an odd question to ask you. Are you standing outside . The picture standing surreal. I am joking. This is a metaphor for the week. We cant see very far. The fog is pretty thick in washington. Its a very interesting shot. I started thinking about vampires and werewolves, but okay. Thank you very much. The cbs news poll shows donald trump will become president on friday with a record low approval rating. Just 32 have an approval rate. Thats lower than anything measured going back to Ronald Reagan back in 1981. Its 12 points below the next lowest with george w. Bush but at least half of the americans have some confidence that the issues like economy, trade, and isis. Mr. Trump was in washington last night for his first inauguration event with foreign diplomats. Major garrett is covering it. Good morning. Good morning. Crowds in washington. Homeland security estimates about half as many will be on the National Mall, but if president elect trump proved anything during the campaign it was he can certainly draw a crowd. Now, as for mr. Trumps cabcabi, its confirmed its the least since George Herbert walker bush in 1989. President elect donald trump defied his own americas first brand and spent the first night of inauguration week with nearly 140 different foreign ambassadors and diplomats. We have put together a team i think the likes of which has never been assembled before. The for diplomacy as mr. Trump continued his feud with congressman lewis. Lewis said hes the first he will boycott but failed to mention he did the same in 2001 with george w. Bush. You dont forget Something Like that. So he got caught and its pretty bad and its making him look bad frankly. The president elects harsh words have given democrats already dubious reason to join lewiss boycott. As far as others not going, thats okay. We need so badly, i hope they give me their tickets. This is really about standing on principle. So far not one Senate Democrat has backed the boycott. Ive gone every year whether its republican or democrat. Republicans say Inauguration Day is or should be bigger than partisan constitution and support that transition of power in our country. Thats how it works. Later tonight the president elect will elect two more dinners, one honoring Vice President mike pence and the other for his cabinet nominees. He will then travel home to trump tower for the last time before coming back to d. C. For a Campaign Dinner and a night in the blair house before moving into the white house for good. Anthony . Major garrett. Thanks, major. Four of mr. Trumps cabinet choices will have Senate Confirmation hearings this morning. Senators will question epa nominee scott pruitt, health and service sec tom price. U. N. Ambassador nikki haley and wilbur ross. Our cbs poll shows 39 of the americans approve of trumps candidate nominations. 40 disapprove. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Good morning. Good morning. St testified so far appear to be toward an easy way toward confirmation eventually but democrats are making it more difficult for two of the nominees going before Congress Today and they have been speaking out against them for weeks. Scott pruitt is a professional climate denier. Democrats went to the senate floor last night to slam scott pruitt, mr. Trumps pick to head the Environmental Protection agency. Someone who denied Climate Change science is in charge of an agency that really is tasked with advancing our strategy to address Climate Change. Democrats argue that as oklahomas tone general prue it was more dedicated to donors than he was to the environment. In his testimony today pruitt will say as epa administrator hell advocate for a better and healthy environment but that environmental regulations should not occur in an georgias tom price will also be questioned. They want to know why he bought stock in a medical Device Company one week before he introduced a bill that would benefit that company. It may well be that this trade was illegal. Some democrats are arguing whether she has the right experience. Our adversaries in the united flagss are represented by very seasoned, very capable, very sharpedged diplomats and this is nod the model u. N. This is the real u. N. Experience also came up at the confirmation hearing for billionaire betsy devos last night. She is mr. Trumps choice to be secretary of education but has never worked in a Public School system. Do you think if you were not a multibillionaire you would be sitting here today . I do think possibility. I have worked very hard on behalf of parents and children for the last almost 30 years. Devos was asked at one point whether she ploets gunfree zones. She was noncommit tall saying they might be necessary to fend off grizzly bears that tend to get close to mike enzos schools in wyoming. Democrats argue people are more likely to be hurt by fellow classmates and that grizzly bears on the prowl. Thats interesting. I like nancys delivery of that too. Dan senor is a political strategist and former adviser to mitt romney in the 2002 president ial campaign. Good morning. Good morning, norah. President obama said he commuted Chelsea Mannings sentence because she accepted responsibility and showed remorse. What questions does this raise . Serious questions particularly where our country came down on it. The recommendation was not to go forward with this. Why . When bin ladens compound was raided in afghanistan, at the compound they found documents from the Bradley Manning leak. In other words, bin laden, according to court transcripts, had requested these documents. What were in these documents that bin laden had . Information that our u. S. Forces had on afghan informants, the names of afghan informants, key secrets that were indispensable to the army in afghanistan. They put lives at risks and suddenly they got into the hands of a terrorist who was attacking afghanistan. Thats why the National Security is so up in arms that this person is being released from prison . The irony is that at the time the u. S. Intelligence is accusing wikileaks of affecting the election, to commute her sentence. Exactly. At the exact time that the not just wikileaks but making a big deal of Julian Assange juli Julian Assange was the vessel in which these documents got into terrorists hands. Do you think president obama is trying to box president elect trump in some way . Ily was a lot of pressure by aclu because of transgender issues and mannings suicide attempts. I think thats part of it. The other part of it is its true in those documents there was information about atrocities and really bad regimes that one could argue helped address those atrocities and the governments responsible for them. That said its not like manning selectively released those documents. He released 750,000 documents, some of which attempted the u. S. Army. All right, dan. Good to see you. Good to be with you. Row mors friday. Rumors are true. Theyre not rumors. Theyre facts. Theyre facts that i can report. Speaking of the inauguration, cbs news will bring you complete coverage of the president elects inauguration on what show, gayle . Cbs this morning. Good segsegue. That was totally natural. We fought a cyber intrusion against Political Parties and individuals in the United States of america. We should expect further attempts by russia to meddle in the democratic process. It will occur again, i promise you. And, again, the purpose is clear, to collapse the liberal international order. Putin denies it. He calls the to collect information to blackmail president elect trump, quote, total nonsense. Elizabeth palmer is in moscow. Elizabeth, good morning. Reporter good morning. There hasnt been any official reaction to Vice President bidens comments here. Thats not unusual because the kremlin and the official spokesmen dont tweet any official reaction and, inte fac tend to be very cautious. Yesterday putin appeared to throw caution to the wind. At a meeting president pew tin called the unverified files on president elect trump a hoax. People who do that for political gain, he said, are worse than prostitutes. Then he expanded in perhaps more detail than mr. Trump might have wished on the president elects 2013 trip to moscow of the Miss Universe pageant. Trump organized beauty contests, said putin, and socialized with the most beautiful women in the world. I find it hard to believe that he rushed to a hotel to meet with russian girls with loose morals, although, we do have the best in the world. Finally he got around to the kremlins goal with working with a trump administration. Im sure in the end we will establish normal relations, he said, responding to the interests of the people of europe, russia, and the United States. Of course, president putins remarks are getting a lot of play here in russia. In fact, one of the papers say the prostitutes are thrilled by the compliment made by the president and made yesterday their professional day more seriously theyre also reminding russians that nobody really knows what mr. Trumps Foreign Policy is going to be. All right, elizabeth palmer. Now we know. Women with loose morals, theres a lot in russia says the president. Thank you very much.
