tony dokoupil, cbs news, new york. >>> in a new interview president trump tells "the new york times" he doesn't know how long the special investigation into the russian meddling will last. during an interview he said he thinks bob mueller will be fair and everybody knows there was no collusion with his campaign. the president said he thought a prolonged investigation makes the country look back. on other issues mr. trump said he hopes democrats will work with him on health care, immigration, and infrastructure. chip reid has more on that. >> reporter: fixinging the nation's deteriorating infrastructure appears to be on the president's plans for next year. in fact, it's not that simple. many republicans want to spend one-fifth of that, $200 billion. democrats say it will never work. reaching a compromise in an election year when the two sides are that far apart will not be easy. also high on both parties' agen agendas, finding a way to allow 800,000 so-called d.r.e.a.m.ers, immigrants brought here as children will march. >> they're americans in every single important way except one, t

this is new york. the reality is that we are a target by many who would like to make a statement against democracy, against freedom. we have the statue of liberty in our harbor, and that makes us an international target. we understand that. with the internet now, anyone can go on the internet and download garbage and vileness on how to put together an amateur-level explosive device. and that is the reality that we live with. the counter reality is that this is new york and we all pitch together and we are a savvy people and we keep our eyes open and that's what see something, say something is all about. and we have the best law enforcement on the globe. and we're all working together extraordinarily well. i want to thank the mayor and the mayor's office for doing a great job this morning. and we'll go forward and we'll go forward together. all the service will resume. let's go back to work. we're not going to allow them to disrupt us. that is exactly what they want. and that's exactly what they're not

i remember when sandy hit new york city. the governor talked about the flooding which took place, forgetting that this hurricane hit, sandy, at high tide on a full moon, which contributed to the flooding in our area. in reality, climate change, is it making our weather as we've been told it would, more extreme and worse, or is there something else going on? >> it's actually very complicated answer, and the u.n. climate panel tells us very clearly, look, right now we can't show there's a connection between global warming and hurricanes, but in the long run, they'll probably be slightly feuer hurricanes but slightly stronger. yes, there is a connection, but by far the biggest issue when it comes to hurricanes is getting people better resilience. making sure you have better levies, that you have better infrastructures, as we saw in harvey. you have better flood control. many, many other things that would do much more and help many more people much more effectively. so in some ways, the whole climate conversation is a detraction

third of thet a geography of new york state, a wide swath of upstate new york. one of the most exciting things about my district is that it is steeped in revolutionary war history. saratoga springs, ira percent half of saratoga county. when you grow up in upstate new york, you truly grow up around our nation's founding history. the battle of saratoga was one of the most important battles of the world, because it turned the tide of the revolutionary war. so for school kids that are growing up, the fact that they can learn about saratoga battlefields as part of their curriculum and actually visit the battlefield with their teachers or their family, it is so tremendously powerful. this district is very independent. if you look at many of our local electeds and federal elected vote for, people go fo the individual who they think will be the strongest advocate for their communities and their region. i think i reflect the viewpoints of the district, and i also reflect my generation. if you were to ask millennials, and i am an older millennial, if you consider that dem

the failing "new york times," but the failed "new york times," so they basically have to let me win. we should note the president doing this interview with a reporter from "the new york times." it was the secretary of state who wrote an op-ed earlier this week that was, of course, for "the new york times." notwithstanding, if you look at his current approval rating versus that of other presidents one year into their administrati administration, there are the numbers on your screen, the media not doing a good job. president trump polling under 38% right there. what's your analysis? >> i actually think he's partially right. there's a grain of truth in this comment in that for all of his bashing of the media, for all of his calling us enemies of the state, et cetera, actually he has been good for traffic for ratings because there are so many scandals, so many opportunities for investigative scoops and lots of opportunities for just covering, like, crazy, flashy tweets, click kind of things. so, in a sense, there's this sort of similloved/hate relatio between trump and the media. that sa

york, thus overriding new york's laws. now we have heard it said that we have -- that this bill is necessary to protect the second amendment constitutional rights of gun owners. but the fact is, there is no second amendment constitutional right for concealed carry. in the district of columbia versus heller case in which the supreme court said the second amendment established a personal right, justice scalia's opinion was that it was entirely consistent with the constitution and said the majority of american courts to consider the questionville held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the second amendment or state analogies. so the second amendment argument is simply wrong or disingenuous. we are living in an epidemic of gun violence. 33,000 americans are killed every year. no other country approaches this. no country other than those at war, but no country in peace ime has 172, and we have 33,000. it's not because of mental illness but large presence of guns. 2017 stanford university study fou

new york, the new york legislature, new york people through the legislature determined that people who committed violent misdemeanors should not be permitted to carry concealed weapons in new york. this bill would say never mind that, if someone comes from a state with a contrary determination, it prevails in new york. mr. woodall: the licenses are recognized. mr. nadler: not just that the licenses are recognized. if a new york city cop or a cop upstate stops someone for speeding or whatever and finds out that he's carrying a concealed weapon and finds out that he is a misdemeanant, committed a violent misdemeanor in the past, under new york law he'd be arrested for illegally carrying a gun. under this law he would not because a new york law in effect is overridden. if he comes from a state that permits it. the real question is why should you permit the law of one state to override the law of a different state which may prevail under different circumstances. we generally allow, unless the federal government is going to say, our general requirement for uniformity for some reason, we dem
