>> it was excellent. good to be back. we begin as you wake up in the west we're following new developments in the investigation in the downing of flight 17. ukraine's prime minister said this morning there is no doubt the boeing 777 was shot down by professionals. armed rebels continue to control access to the scene. russian president vladimir putin is facing more pressure to persuade insurgents to clear the way for investigators. >> and families of the victims are horrified by how the bodies are being handled. mark phillips is in grabovo where international experts are finally making some headway. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's still a lot of work to be done here. investigation crews have been collecting the bodies. there's now some movement perhaps those bodies will be moved out of here later today. there are forensic experts finally on site to start the examination process. but as i say, there's still a lot of work to be done here. it's a grim business and it's getting grimmer. the more accessible bodies were the first to be recovered. now it's become a matter of separating victims and parts of victims from the airplane in which they died. the remains are being stored, like so many carcasses, in refrigerated rail cars in a sad little town in a little town. observers from the osce the european security organization were brought to view the bodies for the second day running, but its spokesman says they're not here to count or examine the victims. >> when will the investigation begin? >> we're not operating on that level. we're here on the ground as a monitoring mission so again, as alexander said we're here to observe, report and those findings get pushed up to participating states. >> reporter: the dutch who lost the most people have sent in two body identification experts, but there are no facilities here for proper examination. for now, the bodies sit. this is a weigh station on a voyage of tragedy, a freight train with a cargo of death, filled with victims of a fight that was not theirs. there is no competent investigation yet at the crash site either and the integrity of the site has clearly been compromised. it remains under the control of the breakaway moscow-backed rebels who are suspected of having shot the plane down. the world's biggest crime scene controlled by the prime suspects in the crime. and who now also have they say, the data recorders, the plane's black boxes. and there's now a promise from the rebel leadership here that the bodies will be moved, they say, later today, perhaps to somewhere more accessible. but promises and reality here norah, are not always the same thing. >> mark thank you. the u.n. security council is set to vote today to demand international access to the crash site. secretary of state john kerry says there is overwhelming evidence of russia's involvement in the downing of the passenger jet and he is urging action. >> because of russia's linkage to these separatists, they have a greater ability to exert influence, and we need russia to become part of the solution not part of the problem. >> clarissa ward is in moscow where president putin issued a statement this morning and he is not backing down despite that growing anger. clarissa, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right, president putin really staying on message with this latest statement, reiterating the need for an international investigation, calling on all parties to stop pointing fingers and to stop quote, politicizing this tragedy. clearly putin here is trying to cast himself in the role of the rational, reasonable leader. he said that more international experts are needed to immediately get access to the site and take part in the investigation, but of course actions speak louder than words in these situations. so far we've seen no indications that the kremlin has done anything to pressure those rebels into allowing the investigators in and giving them free and unfettered access. putin also repeated his assertion that this never would have happened that this crisis never would have taken place had there been a cease-fire in place. that is a not-so-veiled criticism of the ukrainian government. and if you watch the russian tv channels here and you watch the news, it's clear that russia is really trying to push the responsibility for this tragedy onto the ukrainian military and the ukrainian government. charlie charlie? >> clarissa, what do the russian people think happened? and are they hearing all those questions about how russia may be complicit? >> reporter: well they are not hearing anything. secretary kerry's remarks were not aired on russian tv at all. as for what they think happened some people who are more moderate will say it's too early to say, there are a lot of holes in the ukrainian government narrative. but some people you talk to have no doubts at all. they say that the ukrainian military downed this passenger jet and that they did so to force nato to come in and take military action. >> thank you clarissa. the white house is joining international leaders calling for an unimpeded and transparent investigation into the disaster. cbs news senior security contributor mike morell is in washington. mike, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> so here you find president putin issuing somewhat of a conciliatory statement saying we need more investigation, but what kind of situation is he really in now as western leaders are raising questions about russia's participation? >> charlie, he's under an awful lot of pressure and i would imagine that that pressure is going to grow in the days ahead. in his statement he also said something interesting, which is that he called for negotiations between the separatists and the youukraineian government. this is something that he has been calling for for some time and it's exactly what he wants. he wants a set of negotiations that result in autonomy for eastern ukraine that would allow eastern ukraine to veto any ukrainian attempt to join nato or join the e.u. so right now the card he's playing is the card that he has wanted all along. and i don't think we should allow him to get away with that. >> and do you see increased western pressure and western acceptance of the fact that they have to do more to get him to come around? >> across the globe the pressure is growing to take tougher action against russia. and i think that tougher action can come in two forms. one is is a significant ratcheting up in sanctions. you see discussion about that. and the other is moving from nonlethal support to the ukrainian government to lethal support. those are the two things i think that are on the table being discussed and that really have the potential to push putin in the right direction here. >> mike how culpable is president putin, if at all, in the downing of this aircraft? >> really hard to say at this point what he knew personally. my guess would be that he was aware of the significant support being provided by the russian military to the separatists, but whether he knew about the specifics, whether he knew about this particular anti-aircraft system whether he knew about the particular training is hard to say. i would bet one of the things that is going on in moscow right now is president putin trying to figure out exactly what the truth is regarding their complicity. >> mike, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. two-thirds of the passengers aboard flight 17 were from the netherlands. some relatives claim the bodies are being held hostage for politics. elizabeth palmer reports ahead on "cbs this morning." now we want to get to the crisis in the middle east. this morning two americans are among the latest victims of the fighting between israeli and palestinian forces. in gaza city this morning, israeli forces hit more targets. heavy fighting since the israeli offensive began now puts the palestinian death toll above 500. barry petersen is in gaza city where tens of thousands are out of their homes and hospitals are overwhelmed. barry, good morning. >> reporter: the israeli offensive shows no sign of letting up. there's shell still going on right now, and the palestinians are answering with rockets fired into israel. here in gaza one neighborhood in particular has been targeted. with concentrated fire the israelis pounded the eastern neighborhood neighborhood. [ speaking foreign language ] there were brief humanitarian cease-fires when the extent of the devastation and the death were clear. somehow some survived rushed to the city's main hospital. the cease-fire lasted long enough to get some of the wounded out and then it was broken. nobody knows how many wounded are still trapped. doctors were determined to save as many as they could, but they were overwhelmed. >> o.r. is not enough for the patients. we have been operating in the corridors actually. >> reporter: sometimes it was not enough. this father faced the sad reality that his daughter was gone. and in the hospital's morgue the same scene over and over. the identification of a loved one and then the grief. but even in this hell there are miracles. out of this rubble amazingly a survivor. 7-year-old bison, cared for by the doctor. >> she has contusions around her body and she'll recover we hope. >> reporter: there's another crisis developing. gaza depends on israel for its food supplies. now that's cut off. chicken is hard to find and the basics cooking oil and rice all but gone. charlie. >> barry, thanks. 20 israelis have been killed in the conflict including 18 soldiers. among the dead two americans with dual citizenship. they fought in the israeli army. they are 21-year-old sean carmeli of south padre island texas, and 24-year-old max steinberg of california. a vigil was held in los angeles sunday for steinberg, who joined the israeli force last year. holly williams is in tel aviv with how the americans were killed. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. max steinberg and sean carmeli were both siding with the golani bridgade. it has seen some intense battles in the gaza strip. 13 of its members were killed yesterday, including seven who died when their armored personnel carrier was hit by an anti-tank rocket. now palestinian militants also claim to have taken one israeli soldier hostage yesterday. they have named him as shaol aron. israel's ambassador to the united nations denied that report but the israeli military told us today they are still looking into it. also today israel claims to have foiled two attacks by palestinian militants who sneaked into israel via underground tunnels. they say they killed at least ten of those militants. norah, charlie. >> holly, thank you. and president obama is back at the white house this morning to deal with both the mideast and ukraine. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, norah. the message from the white house to the israelis is these hamas rocket attacks and the tunnels into your territory are legitimate military targets. you have a right to defend yourself. but to do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties. secretary of state john kerry is heading to cairo to try to negotiate a longer term cease-fire with israel and the hamas rebels. that's been difficult because of options for a cease-fire. that gave israel an incentive to take the fight even more aggressively to hamas, conflicting more civilian casualties. that's something the administration is quietly becoming more exasperated with. >> major i want to turn to the crisis in ukraine. we saw putin put out the statement overnight in moscow. any reaction from the white house yet?

missing missile or so. so there is enormous amount of evidence. even more evidence than i just documented, that points to the involvement of russia. >> this morning putin said the finger pointing

on the moan. the president is also likely to address criticism of russian president vladimir putin. for his part today, putin said his country is doing everything it can to allow the u.n. agency to investigate the scene. the probe has been hampered since the boeing 777 was shot down thursday over eastern ukraine resulting in the deaths of 298 people. for the first time this morning, rebels allowed investigators to view the bodies. many are kept in rail cars ten miles from the disaster site. let's bring in our chief white house correspondent major garrett. we heard from president pew tin tin -- putin. >> the white house has tried not to personalize this between the u.s. and russia. the white house would like to bring to bear to lean on the separatists to do everything they can to make sure this investigation hampered as you said already by tampering with the evidence. put that on track, a track to lead to conclusive evidence and conclusive definitive conclusions about what happened to bring down malaysian airlines flight 17. the president will address hostilities in the middle east. israel efforts to quail the gaza rockets coming from hah has, fire from gaza city and surrounding areas. secretary of state john kerry is due to arrive in cairo egypt later tonight to begin the process of obtaining a prolonged cease fire between the two. ukraine will be the top of the president's remarks, putting pressure on putin to get him to do more. here's the president. >> i want to make a brief statement about the tragedy in ukraine. before i do i want to note secretary kerry has departed for the middle east. as i said many times, israel has the right to defend against rocket and tunnel attacks from hamas. as a result of this operation, israel has done significant damage to hamas' terrorist infrastructure in gaza. i have said we have serious concerns about the rising number of palestinian deaths and loss of israeli lives. that is why it now has to be our focus and focus of international community to bring about a cease fire that ends the fighting and that can stop the deaths of innocent civilians. both in gaza and in israel. so secretary kerry will meet with allies and partners. i've instructed him to push for an immediate hostility based on return to november 2012 cease fire agreement between israel and hamas in gaza. the work will not be easy. obviously there are enormous passions involved in this and some very difficult strategic issues involved. nevertheless i've asked john to do everything he can to help facilitate a hostility. we don't want to see more civilians getting killed. with respect to ukraine, it's now been four days since malaysian airlines flight 17 was shot down over territory controlled by russian backed separatists in ukraine. over the last several days our hearts have been absolutely broken as we've learned more about the extraordinary and beautiful lives that were lost. men, women, children infants who were killed so suddenly and senselessly. our thoughts and prayers continue to be with their families around the world who are going through just unimaginable grief. i've had the opportunity to speak to a number of leaders around the world who citizens were lost on this flight and all of them remain in a state of shock. but frankly also a state of outt rage. our immediate focus is on recovering those who were lost. investigating exactly what happened and putting forward the facts. we have to make sure the truth is out and that accountability exists. international investigators are on the ground. they have been organized. i've sent teams. other countries have sent teams. they are prepared and organized to conduct what should be the kinds of protocols and scouring and collecting of evidence that should follow any international since didn't like this. what they need right now is immediate and full access to the crash site. they need to be able to conduct a prompt and full and unimpeded as well as transparent investigation. recovery personnel have to do the solemn and sacred work of recovering the remains of those who were lost. ukrainian president poroshenko has declared a zone around the site. international teams are in place prepared to conduct the investigation and recover the remains of those who have been lost but unfortunately the russian backed separatists that control the area continue to block the investigation. they've repeatedly prevented international investigators from gaining full access to the wreckage. investigators approached and they fired weapons into the air. the separatists are removing evidence from the crash site all of which begs the question what exactly are they trying to hide? more over russian backed separatists are removing bodies from the crash site. often times without the care that we would normally expect from a tragedy like this. this is an insult to those who have lost loved ones. this behavior has no place in the community of nations. now, russia has extraordinary influence over these separatists. no one denies that. russia has urged them on. russia has trained them. we know russia has armed them with military equipment and weapons including antiaircraft weapons. key separatist leaders are russian citizens. so given its direct influence over the separatists, russia and president putin in particular has direct responsibility to compel them to cooperate with the investigation. that is the least they can do. president putin says that he supports a full and fair investigation. i appreciate those words, but they have to be supported by actions. the burden now is on russia to insist that the separatist stop tampering with the evidence grant investigators who are already on the ground immediate full and unimpeded access to the crash site. the separatists and the russian sponsors are responsible for the safety of the investigators doing their work. along with allies and partners we will be working this issue at the united nations today. more broadly, as i've said throughout this crisis and the crisis in ukraine generally, i've said this directly to president putin as well as publicly. my preference continues to be finding a diplomatic resolution within ukraine. i believe that can still happen. that is my preference today and will continue to be my preference but if russia continues to violate ukraine yaes's sovereignty and back separatists. separatists become more and more dangerous not simply in ukraine but the broader international community, russia will further isolate itself from the international community. the cost for russia's behavior will continue to increase. now is the time for president putin and russia to pivot away from the strategy they've been taking and get serious about trying to resolve hostilities within ukraine in a way that respects and brings sovereignty and respects the ukrainian people to make decisions about their own lives. time is of the essence. our friends and allies need to recover those who were lost. that's the least we can do. that's the least that decency demands. families deserve to be able to lay their loved ones to rest with dignity. the world deserves to know exactly what happened and people of ukraine deserve to determine their own future. thanks. >> and a very stern warning from president obama from the south lawn right there indicating that given its influence that russia and russian president vladimir putin have direct responsibility to direct those separatists to cooperate. he says he preerktappreciates the words by president putin overnight, but those must be supported by actions. those include immediate, full access for international investigators to access the site of the downed plane and to deal respectively with many of the victims there. and our coverage is going to continue throughout the i day on this cbs station and online at cbs news.com. we'll have a full report tonight on the cbs evening news with scott

>> it sort of feels that way. we receive car loans increase 130 rp 130% in the last five years. we're talking people with credit scores at or below 640. what we're seeing is we're not back to the peak. in 2006 36% of all auto loans were subprime. i end went down to 20%. now we're up to 27%. it seems like a big increase but we're not back to the peak. i should also note the mortgage department, that could potentially bring down the whole system. the market system, not the same. it's a fraction of the impact on the overall economy. >> what happens to people who accept a loan make a loan and the people who get the loan knowing they can't pay it? what happens to them? >> well, you know it's not clear that we know that there are loans being extended to people who can't pay. what usually happens is the borrower -- what you do is look at the monthly loan amount. you think you can do it but something bad happens and you can't do it. what's interesting is very drnt than the mortgage department where if someone is delinquent it takes a long time to get the house, go into foreclosure. with these, they can literally shut down your ignition repo says the car, take it back. in some cases the lenders are going after these borrowers for the unpaid amounts. >> is there any regulation from the government on this kind of stuff? >> this is kind of a thorny issue. if you look at the dodd/frank reform the cfpb was tasked with protecting consumers, but these awe though loans were pulled out of the cfpc. that's too bad. it hasn't been as straenously policed as perhaps it would have been. >> how you do make sure you're not going to be a victim of this predatory lending? >> you've got to get information. you've got to say what is the total amount of the lope. you have to say what is the interest rate of the loan. you want to know what are any extras i could be paying. some are buying insurance and they don't realize it. don't get caught in a monthly payment trap. you've got to look at the overall level of this debt and make sure you can afford it. >> read the fine print. jill schlesinger, thank you. always good to see you. and on july 21st, 1989 "when harry met sally" opened in theaters. anthony mason shows us how it was a quintessential romantic comedy. >> the original script was titled "boy meets girl." the idea came from rob reiner who was single and frustrated at the time. it was turned into "when harry met sally." >> a discuss began how men and women relate to each other. >> what i'm saying -- and this is not a come-on in any, way, shape or form. men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. >> reporter: the romantic comedy grossed $92 million. written by nora ephron and written by rob reiner it remains on one of the best. film and culture critic julie class never. >> reporter: 25 years later it shows how romance endures. billy chris tells us why. >> because it's real and honest. a wonderful script. great director. great pairing. >> we loved what we were doing, it was new york romantic leaves change. what could be better. >> reporter: and the movie's climatic scene shot in katz's delicatessen became one of the most remembered scenes. >> what are you saying that they fake orgisms? >> yes yes, yes. >> sari cooper is a sex therapist. >> to this day it's an extraordinary scene. >> right. >> what do you think about this scene captivated people? >> it challenged the belief system of mainstream america and mainstream men in america about how women's sexuality really works. >> what do you think women saw in that scene? >> i thought it was like a call to break out and start talking you know and asking for what you want. >> it's funny how huge that scene's become. >> well, no reaction could be better than rob reiner's mother who in my opinion is the real star of that scene. >> she had one line in the film. >> i'll have what she's having. >> crystal recalls that the cast and crew knew they had something unique. >> you knew it was something good. you never know it's going to hold like this where lines are quoted 25 years later. it's kinded of special. >> i guess we're not going to be frejdss then. >> guess not. >> those lines may be so quotable thanks to the style of the screenplay. >> nora ephron had one of the most distinctive voice whether it was in her prose or in a screenplay. >> i came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. >> reporter: a generation later the relevance of the film and the chemistry of the on-set screen couple live on. >> you say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you. and i hate you, harry. i really hate you. >> the american film institute ranked "i'll have what she's having" on the list of 100 most memorable ranks, they had ranked it 33. it was estelle reiner's only line. billy crystal wrote that line. >> he wrote it. what was the number one line. >> i knew you'd ask that question. i think a big part of the films the ability goes back to that scene. everybody knows that line and everybody knows that scene. meg ryan was not the original change. >> there's a line in "a few good men." >> and "gone with the wind." >> "you can't handle the truth." >> every time you hear that line it's nervous laughter or craiks you up. >> it still makes you comfortable 25 years later that and norah efron's. >> number one, "frankly my dear i don't give a damn." chris had that. >> this little piece of information right here. thank you. what a great piece. how's katz's deli?

i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com. excuse me. hello. ooh. hello. >> what do you think? >> you look like lucy's stunt double. >> no. i'm a combination of lucy and ricky. >> and terrifying. >> all right. that was hilarious. hank azar yas stoeld the audience's heart. he's voices dozens on the show "the simpsons." now he co-stars in the new season of "ray donovan." he plays a los angeles bureau chief of the fbi. >> so sullivan comes to the marina and i think he's getting on the boat to mexico with false passports. now, he's cagey bastard, you know that. but we were ready for him. when he drew his gun, the special agent drew his. when it was all over my guy was still alive. i told him to his face frankings you're a hero. he said, boss i'm just doing my job. >> when can i talk to him? >> i wish i could make him available. i just can't. >> welcome to studio 57. >> thank you. >> you go to a museum. instead of painting, every actor stops and stairs aet a spectacle. that is uniquely fascinating. is it the singing you get to do or the sex scene that i'm still waiting for? go ahead, hank azaria. impress me. >> i certainly made a speck tack cal doing both of those things i promise you. >> had you watched the show before? >> when i was called about the role, i had never seen it yet. as many of us do i binge watched to see whether i wanted to join or not. i was hooked about halfway through. it's a good show. >> you're known more for your comedic roles. >> yes. >> was this a difficult switch? >> it's interesting i'm promoting "ray donovan," but the clip you show is from 20 years ale ago. i'm most familiar with kwm simpson." he wouldn't let me be funny. he wanted me to work on the emotions. i'm ready to do it but it's not that often. >> how did you get into the fbi character. >> i spoke to allen jackson, a consultant on "ray donovan." he's a law enforcement guy. he helped create this character. he consulted on the writing of this character and i spoke to him a bunch about what's -- how these guys really conduct themselves, what they'd be thinking in certain moments? >> what did you learn? >> i learned an interesting thing. he said these guys -- because my guy, he starts out as kind of a conservative boy scout and the layers of the onion starts getting pealed and he gets a little out of his mind. i said does this really happen.? he said guys are so ego-driven they look eight as works of art. as creative as text actors and directors get, they get so as directors. i get pretty intense about it. >> they say this is the golden age of actors because so many actors are going to television whether it's hb oo or cbs or so many places. is that the reality you see? you get more opportunities? >> i think it's the golden age of television. i love it. i have a 5-year-old son. i look forward to whatever is good. you can watch them all. you don't have to record them even anymore. so i think for actors it's harder because, you know now movie stars are coming in to television. there's less -- you know there's a lot more more shows, a lot more good shows, more opportunity in one way. you know what's hard to do is make money. i mean the only in tremendous success do these stores start to pay a lot. >> meaning the tv shows. >> yes. >> mm-hmm. even for the movie stars they don't start out making a lot of money on these shows. >> but, hank you were known to be one of the best voice artists in this business. >> yes, i am. >> for $10 you would prank somebody. if you were to prank call charlie rose. >> it's like a sidenot like a side business. i did it for charity. oh, yeah i want to promote my auto business while i'm here. >> if you were going prank charlie rose in a mo character, thing this would be really hilarious. what would you do? >> how would mo prank charlie? he'd probably say, yeah charlie, mo the bartender here. i saw your interview with hillary chintop there. why don't you ask the tough questions like is she going to run because you know what?

>> it was excellent. >> golf, fishing? >> yeah. time with the family. the prime minister said there's no doubt both 777 was shot down by rebels. russian president vladimir putin is waging more pressure to clear the way for investigators. >> meanwhile families of the victims are horrified with how the bodies are being handled. mark phillips was able to make his way to the scene in ukraine. he's in grabovo where remains are still. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. investigation crews have been collecting the bodies. there's now some movement. perhaps the bodies will be moved later today. there are experts finally on site to start the examination process, but as i say, there's still a lot of work to be done here. it's a grim business and it's getting grimmer. the more accessible bodies were recovered. now it's a matter of separating plane parts and parts of victims. the remains are being stored in a refrigerated train car. observes from the oscp were brought to view the bodies for the second day running but its spokesman said they're not here to counts or examine the victims. >> again, we're not here on that level. we're here on a ground mission. again, as alexander said we're here to observe, report, and those findings get pushed up. >> reporter: the dutch who lost the most people have sent in two body identification experts but there are no facilities for proper examination. for now the bodies sit. this is a weigh station on a voyage of tragedy. a freight train with the cargo of dead filled with victims of a fight that was not there. there is no competent investigation either and the in ted it from of the site has been compromised. it remains under the control of the breakaway moscow-backed rebels who are suspected of having shot the plane down. the suspects control the crime scene and now they have the data recorders, the plane's black boxes. and there's now a promise from the rebel leadership that the bodies will be moved later today to perhaps someplace more accessible. but promises and reality are not always the same thing. >> secretary of state john kerry says there is overwhelming evidence of russia's involvement in the downing of the passenger jet and he is urging action. >> because of russia's leakage to these separatists, they have a greater ability to expert influence and we need russia to become part of the solution, not part of the problem. >> clarissa ward is in moscow. the president is not backing down despite the anger. clarissa, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. president putin really staying on statement reiterating the need for an investigation, calling on all parties to stop pointing fingers and politicizing here. he's trying to cast himself as the rational reasonable leader. he said more international experts are needed immediately to get access to the site and take part in the investigation. of course, actions speak louder than words in these situations and so far we have seen no indications that the krimm lynn has done anything to pressure the rebels into allowing investigators to get in and giving them free and unfettered access. putin also reasserted his position that this would have never taken place fm a cease-fire had taken place. it's clear that russia is really trying to push the responsibility for this tragedy onto the ukrainian military and the ukrainian government. charlie? >> clarissa, what do they think happen and are they hearing all those questions about how russia may be complicit? >> reporter: well, they're not hearing anything. secretary kerry's remarks were not aired on russian tv at all. as to what happened it depend dpenlds who you talked to. some who are more moderate will say it's too early to say. there are a lots of holes in the government narrative but some people you talk to have no doubts at all. they say the military downed the passenger jet and they did so to force nay to to come in and take military action. >> thank you. clarissa. the white house is calling for it. contributor mike morell is a former iowa dcia deputy directo. good morning. >> good morning. >> you hear them say they need more investigation, but what kind of situation is he really in now as western leaders are raising questions about russia's participation? >> charlie, he's under an awful lot of pressure and i would imagine that that pressure is going to grow in the days ahead. in his statement he also said something interesting, which is that he called for negotiations between the separatists and the ukrainian government. this is something he's been calling for for some time and that's exactly what he wants. he wants negotiations that result in autonomy for east ukraine that would allow eastern ukraine to vito any attempt to join nato or join the eu. right now the card he's playing is the card he's wanted all along, and i don't think we should allow him to get away with that. >> do you see increased western pressure and western acceptance with the fact they have to do more to get him to come around? >> yeah. across the globe the pressure is growing to take tougher action against russia and i think that tougher action can come in two forms. one is a significant ratcheting up of sanctions. the other is moving from nonlethal support of the government to lethal support. those are the two things on the table being discussed and really have the potential to push putin in the right direction here. >> mike, how culpable is president putin if at all in the downing of the aircraft? >> really hard to say at this point what he knew personally. my guess would be he was aware of the support by the military to the separatists, but whether he knew about the specifics, whether he knew about this particular anti-aircraft system, whether he knew about the particular training is hard to say. i would bet one of the things going on in moscow right now is president putin trying to figure out exactly what the truth is regarding their complicity. >> mike, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. two passengers of the flight 17 were from the netherlands. elizabeth palmer's report from the netherlands ahead on "cbs this morning." two americans are among the latest victims among the fighting between israeli and palestinian forces. in gaza city this morning israeli forces hit more targets. heavy fighting since the israeli offensive began now puts the palestinian death toll above 500. barry petersen are out after their homes and hospitals and hospitals are overwhelmed. barry, good morning. >> reporter: the i israeli offensive show nos signs of letting up. there's gunfire still gone on right now. and the palestinians are answers with rockets fired into gaza. here one neighborhood haas been targeted. with concentrated fire, the israelis pounded the eastern neighborho neighborhood. there were brief humanitarian cease-fires when the depth of the devastation and the deaths were clear. some survived and were rushed to the city hospital. the cease-fire landed long enough to get some of the wounded out. then it was broken. nobody knows how many wounded are still trapped. >> doctors were wanting to save as many as they could but they were overwhelmed. >> we have been operating in the corridor. >> reporter: sometimes it was not enough. this father faced the sad reality that his daughter was gone. and in the hospital's morgue, the same scene over and over. the identification of a loved one and then the grief. but even in this hell, there were miracles. out of this rubble amazingly a survivor. this 7-year-old cared for by a doctor. >> she had some contusions on her body and that's it. she'll recover. >> there's another crisis developing. gaza depends on israel for its food supply. now that's cut off. chickens hard to find and the basics, cooking oil and rice all but gone. charlie. >> barry, thanks. 20 israelis have been killed in the conflict including 18 soldiers. among the dead, two americans with dual citizenship. they fought in the israeli army. they are nissim sean carmeli and max steinberg. >> good morning. max steinberg and sean nissim carmeli were both feeding with the golani brigade. 13 were kill indiana cluding seven when their armored personnel carrier was hit by a rocket. they also claimed to have taken one israeli soldier hostage yesterday. they named him shaol aron. they denied the report but israelis say they're still looking into it. also today israel claims to have foiled two attacks by palestinian militants who sneaked into is rile via underground tunnels. they say they killed at least ten of those militants. norah and charlie? >> holly, thank you. the president is back at the white house to deal with the mid east and ukraine. good morning, major. >> reporter: good morning. you have a right to defend yourself but to do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties. secretary of state john kerry is heading to cairo to try to negotiate a longer term cease-fire with israel and the hamas rebels. that's been difficult because hamas did not accept earlier options for a cease fire and that took israel to take the fight more aggressively on hamas and inflkt more casualties. that's something the administration is quietly becoming more exasperated with but not so much as to not come to israel's defense. >> we saw putin put out a statement overnight from moscow. any reaction from the white house yet? >> no reaction to that yet. let the facts speak for themselves. no one is jumping to conclusion. the facts are being established. that they're russian enabling. the goal for the administration is to build global revulsion against russia and the separatists with the way the crash scene is being handled and the bodies not being respected. whether ukraine had participated in a cease-fire, they did for almost ten days. it was the separatists did not adhere to the cease-fire. >> texas state governor's rick perry is scheduled to put troops at the border. their mission is to beef up security. this comes amid the growing problem of chirp crossing into the government states. he said if the federal government won't secure the border, texas will. >> in the pacific northwest wildfires are so bad more than 1,000 national guard troops are on standby in washington state. the military say s more could b called in. nick mcgurk is from the badly damaged town of pateros, washington. >> reporter: this is the path of destruction in pateros, washington. it's burned more than 150 strulk turs. the governor jay inslee on the fire. >> it's very tirch, very dangerous. >> on the home front they try to control the flames. its size and speed gave homeowners little time to react. >> boy, just coming through like a blowtorch. >> one death has been connected to the file. 67-year-old rob koczewski tried to save his home. >> he was a good frnd of mine and a great man. >> reporter: the fire wiped out a power grid in a nearby town. they may not have power for several weeks. >> drought-like conditions have created an early andive fire season but cooler temperatures and lesser winds are expected to help. >> our state is in a dangerous situation where every year we're getting more droughts and more fires. they're expected to quad drubl in the years to come. >> any ground gained could just as ease as easily be lost. rory mcilroy won the british open by two strokes. he's up there with jack nicklaus and tiger woods. his father made a bet he would win by his 26th birthday. it's errand the elder mcelroy more than $170,000. >> i had the tournament on. >> what a great victory. >> what a great victory for the irishman. >> and confidence for the father >> indeed, indeed. ahead, we're >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by dreamworks "the hundred-foot new journey." in theaters august 8. ahead, the man who died after an officer pull hid in a choke hold. did the officer put him in banned tactic?

>> in order to understand it you have to go back to flight 370. it's very difficult to litigate negligence or liability in the absence of evidence. there's a continuing flow of evidence here and they're going to be able to do that. >> how do you think the victims' families will be compensated? >> first of all it comes out of the case in 1999 which caps each claim. >> paid by the airline. >> the insurance company of the airline. if they paid the full amount it wouldle be $49 million, but that's paid no matter how the plane came down, whether it's war or an act of terrorism. under the protocols you can litigate for more if there's more evidence. this this case there will be. >> you were working -- there were 150 people that went across the border within the last week that secretary kerry said that that vehicle that may have fired the miss aisle went back to russia afterward? >> they may not just be a plaintiff but a defendant. you can counseled only them being a plaintiff because they'll maim claim if it's proven the russians had inl involvement. >> what if it's fact the weapon that was used and this was used came from russia? >> it's a circumstantial case but it can still be litigated. what's interesting about this and you can make any claim. if this claim is justified and you get a judgment you can go after that judgment and seize their assets. >> can we go back to the central question? i think it was first raised by captain sully sullenberger on cbs news which is what was the plane doing flying over ukraine and there were other big planes too. >> many of them. >> yeah. >> they have traditionally flown over conflicted areas. there's probably 29 airlines that will overfly cuba, northern iraq. if you're flying to jordan, you're flying. the point is now the airlines have to get together with the ico and figure out exactly what they can do because they have to reroute. >> are they doing that because they don't assume anyone has missiles that can reach 33,000? >> exactly. it's always been a gentlemen's agreement. during the vietnam war air france had a flight every single day. we all knew it. the plane landed every day because they knew it was off limits. >> is there an exception for acts o of war. >> there is. and it's also dictated by where you're flying. >> thanks, peter. >> you're welcome. this morning they're mourning the loss of james guarder. he was found saturday. his name was made known across nations. james garner was the original "maverick" starring in the 1950s television western "maverick" as a witting roaming gambler and charmer. >> well, ma'am, when you sing, there isn't just much poker being made. >> reporter: the role made him a household career that gaernd almost six decades. he never wanted to be an actor but a friend talked him into it. >> i thought, all right. i'll give it a try to see, number one, if i like it and, number two, can i make a living at it. after five years i thought, yeah, i can make a running at it. >> after that, he spent a decade on the big screen. he drew on his service in the korean war for which he earned two purple hearts, he was in "the great escape." then he returned to television starring as an unconventional private eye in another hit "the rockford files." >> you've got to stop reading those books. they're turning you into a cluck. what team?

>> it sort of feels that way. we receive car loans increase 130 130% in the last five years. we're talking people with credit scores at or below 640. what we're seeing is we're not back to the peak. in 2006, 36% of all auto loans were subprime. i end went down to 20%. now we're up to 27%. it seems like a big increase but we're not back to the peak. i should also note the mortgage department, that could potentially bring down the whole system. the market system, not the same. it's a fraction of the impact on the overall economy. >> what happens to people who accept a loan, make a loan and the people who get the loan knowing they can't pay it? what happens to them? >> well, you know, it's not clear that we know that there are loans being extended to people who can't pay. what usually happens is the borrower -- what you do is look at the monthly loan amount. you think you can do it but something bad happens and you can't do it. what's interesting is very drnt than the mortgage department where if someone is delinquent it takes a long time to get the house, go into foreclosure. with these, they can literally shut down your ignition, repo says the car, take it back. in some cases the lenders are going after these borrowers for the unpaid amounts. >> is there any regulation from the government on this kind of stuff? >> this is kind of a thorny issue. if you look at the dodd/frank reform, the cfpb was tasked with protecting consumers, but these awe though loans were pulled out of the cfpc. that's too bad. it hasn't been as straenously policed as perhaps it would have been. >> how you do make sure you're not going to be a victim of this predatory lending? >> you've got to get information. you've got to say what is the total amount of the lope. you have to say what is the interest rate of the loan. you want to know what are any extras i could be paying. some are buying insurance and they don't realize it. don't get caught in a monthly payment trap. you've got to look at the overall level of this debt and make sure you can afford it. >> read the fine print. jill schlesinger, thank you. always good to see you. and on july 21st, 1989, "when harry met sally" opened in theaters. anthony mason shows us how it was a quintessential romantic comedy. >> the original script was titled "boy meets girl." the idea came from rob reiner who was single and frustrated at the time. it was turned into "when harry met sally." >> a discuss began how men and women relate to each other. >> what i'm saying -- and this is not a come-on in any, way, shape or form. men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. >> reporter: the romantic comedy grossed $92 million. written by nora ephron and written by rob reiner, it remains on one of the best. film and culture critic class never. >> reporter: 25 years later it shows how romance endures. billy chris tells us why. >> because it's real and honest. a wonderful script. great director. great pairing. >> we loved what we were doing, it was new york, romantic, leaves change. what could be better. >> reporter: and the movie's climatic scene shot in katz's delicatessen became one of the most remembered scenes. >> what are you saying, that they fake orgisms? >> yes, yes, yes. >> sari cooper is a sex therapist. >> to this day it's an extraordinary scene. >> right. >> what do you think about this scene captivated people? >> it challenged the belief system of mainstream america and mainstream men in america about how women's sexuality really works. >> what do you think women saw in that scene? >> i thought it was like a call to break out and start talking, you know, and asking for what you want. >> it's funny how huge that scene's become. >> well, no reaction could be better than rob reiner's mother who in my opinion is the real star of that scene. >> she had one line in the film. >> i'll have what she's having. >> crystal recalls that the cast and crew knew they had something unique. >> you knew it was something good. you never know it's going to hold like this where lines are quoted 25 years later. it's kinded of special. >> i guess we're not going to be frejdss then. >> guess not. >> those lines may be so quotable thanks to the style of the screenplay. >> nora ephron had one of the most distinctive voice whether it was in her prose or in a screenplay. >> i came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. >> reporter: a generation later the relevance of the film and the chemistry of the on-set screen couple live on. >> you say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you. and i hate you, harry. i really hate you. >> the american film institute ranked "i'll have what she's having" on the list of 100 most memorable ranks, they had ranked it 33. it was estelle reiner's only line. billy crystal wrote that line. >> he wrote it. what was the number one line. >> i knew you'd ask that question. i think a big part of the films, the ability goes back to that scene. everybody knows that line and everybody knows that scene. meg ryan was not the original change. >> there's a line in "a few good men." >> and "gone with the wind." >> "you can't handle the truth." >> every time you hear that line it's nervous laughter or craiks you up. >> it still makes you comfortable 25 years later that and norah efron's. >> number one, "frankly my dear, i don't give a damn." chris had that. >> this little piece of information right here. thank you. what a great piece. how's katz's deli?

>> i wish i could make him available. i just can't. >> welcome to studio 57. >> thank you. >> you go to a museum. instead of painting, every actor stops and stairs aet a spectacle. that is uniquely fascinating. is it the singing you get to do or the sex scene that i'm still waiting for? go ahead, hank azaria. impress me. >> i certainly made a speck tack cal doing both of those things, i promise you. >> had you watched the show before? >> when i was called about the role, i had never seen it yet. as many of us do, i binge watched to see whether i wanted to join or not. i was hooked about halfway through. it's a good show. >> you're known more for your comedic roles. >> yes. >> was this a difficult switch? >> it's interesting i'm promoting "ray donovan," but the clip you show is from 20 years a ago. i'm most familiar with kwm simpson." he wouldn't let me be funny. he wanted me to work on the emotions. i'm ready to do it but it's not that often. >> how did you get into the fbi character. >> i spoke to allen jackson, a consultant on "ray donovan." he's a law enforcement guy. he helped create this character. he consulted on the writing of this character and i spoke to him a bunch about what's -- how these guys really conduct themselves, what they'd be thinking in certain moments? >> what did you learn? >> i learned an interesting thing. he said these guys -- because my guy, he starts out as kind of a conservative boy scout and the layers of the onion starts getting pealed and he gets a little out of his mind. i said, does this really happe?. he said guys are so ego-driven they look eight as works of art. as creative as text actors and directors get, they get so as directors. i get pretty intense about it. >> they say this is the golden age of actors because so many actors are going to television, whether it's hbo or cbs or so many places. is that the reality you see?

same building complex, different angle. a man focuses on his cell phone, oblivious to those c around him. who is he calling? you are, in fact, watching scenes from a marriage. the final scenes, as it turns out. the woman is pamela and the man is her husband, jim. at the time this video was recorded, one of them had just minutes to live. rewind the video, to just a few minutes earlier. they have just had a meeting with their lawyers. they are in the midst of a bitter divorce. it's 6:30 p.m. the meeting is over. pamela hurries to catch the elevator, and gets off at the third floor. she walks to her car, and reaches for the keys, inside her purse. >> that's when she was attacked. >> reporter: then, los angeles prosecutor, alan t jackson, wou spend many hours scrutinizing that video. >> tell me about the attack. >>bo brutal. vicious. hea heart-stopping. pamela was completely defenseless. she was attacked, i believe, from behind, first, with a knife. somebody, much larger than her. somebody, much stronger than her, who had an absolute ad mission, and that was to cut her throat, to kill her. >> reporter: on the video, you can see people in the complex starting to walk toward the sound of pam's screaming. one man ran to the scene and saw a tall man, in a black, hooded sweatshirt, jump into the backseat of a red suv that was parked behind pam's car, and be driven away. that witness, then, tried to help pam. >> and then, as he walked around, to where the attack took place, that's when he first saw pamela. he said that, when she looked at him, he went into a little shock because the only thing that was not covered in blood was the whites of her eyes. she stood, and she walked toward him, even after having suffered these horrible, mortal wounds. and she reached out her arms, and simply said, help me. >> reporter: it was too late for anyone to help pam. paramedics pronounced her dead, at the scene. century city is only 176 acres. its gleaming office towers and high-dollar town homes lying entirely within the city of los angeles. and what makesly this w place rs money because century city is home to agents, film producers, and agents. usually, around here, when someone talks about bloody murder, they are talking about a deal thatal went south. this time, it was the real thing. the lead detective for the lapd, investigating pam's murder, was salam abdul rockman. >> wasn't robbed? >> no, she wasn't. >> she wasn't assaulted? >> no, she was not. >> so, the purpose of that crime was to kill her. >> that was the only purpose of the crime, was to get rid of her and to make sure she was dead. >> abdul says the murder was carefully planned. it's about 6:30 at night. >> that's correct. >> and she is walking to her car, what, alone? >> by herself. >> and at some point, what, the killer comes up behind her? >> well, the killer pulled up in the burgundy suv, behind her vehicle. >> so, blocking her? >> blocking her, so she can't move her car from the parking spot. the killer gets out of the back, passenger seat, and approaches her from behind. >> how long did the attack take, start to finish? >> from start to finish, i would say anywhere from one to three minutes. >> reporter: police found no eyewitnesses to the actual stabbing, but there were people close by. >> there was an individual in the building across the street from where she was killed. that individual observed her grab theiv railing. and then, observed an arm come around and bring her back into the parking structure. and at that time, he didn't see her any longer. >> that was the killer? >> that was the e killer. >> reporter: police comb the crime scene looking for answers. and they, also, started looking at the victim, pam, and her husband jim. the couple had been married nine years. together, they ran a gold-trading business called goldfinger. and together, it had made them rich. but, what had been a good marriage had deteriorated, even as the money came in. now, it was no secret that pam and her husband were involved in a nasty, high-stakes divorce. it was, also, no secret that jim could not have committed the murder.at >> when she was killed, it was impossible that he was holding the knife because he was with his attorneys, at that moment. >> in the same building? >> in the same building. >> he couldn'tth have gotten aw from them long enough to get down to the parking garage and kill his wife? >> no. and also, after she was murdered, there was>> video tha put him in the courtyard, so it was impossible for him to be at two implaces, at one time. >> reporter: that security video shows jim trying v to make a ce phone call, at exactly the moment you see people reacting to pam's screams. not only that, but, a tall man, wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt, clearly, was not a description of jim. a woman, murdered. a bitter divorce. but certainly, the husband wasn't the killer. so, who was?

>> he was funny. i just liked being around him. >> reporter: funny, but not nearly as social and outgoing as pam. >> jim was a gentle soul. very quiet kind of soul. very private, back then. she saw jim as someone who would provide for the family, had a good, honest job doing electrical work. >> reporter: when they learned pam was pregnant, they decided to make it official. jim and pam were married in vegas, in 1999. now, they were the parents of two girls. young desiree, and even younger jeanette. with more mouths to feed, the couple began to experience some rough patches, financially. jim, often, worked as an electrical contractor for the government. a job, that would take him on the road for weeks at a time. then, there were times when the work would run out, and he would have to scramble to find more. >> it was a struggle. they argued. pam felt abandoned, a lot. >> reporter: at one point, pam went on public assistance. it was something she'd promised herself would never happen. but now, pam had to go down that path. it's possible, she blamed jim for that reversal of fortune. >> it was a point where they would argue, and she wasn't sure she wanted to still be there. she would call me, and ask me for help and ask me to send money. i'd sent her money twice or three times to start divorce proceedings. and then, they would always make back up and move on. and that was fine. i just wanted my friend to be happy. >> reporter: racking her brain. trying to think of ways to provide for her husband and daughters, pam came up with the idea of mixing her love of working with precious metals, with jim's interest in coin collecting. together, the couple started buying and selling gold and silver coins. soon, that grew into an internet-based company they could manage from their home. and it started bringing in money. they called their business goldfinger coin and bullion. the year was 2001, and there was a new gold rush in america. the fayeds had found their way to a get-rich-quick scheme that worked. but as investigators would discover, what tripped them up were many of the same human frailties that so bedeviled those 49ers who panned for gold, instead of picking on it. and so, here is another question. if money is the root of all evil, then what is gold? >> someone else had a close eye on this lucrative business, and the color of money was about to turn very dark, indeed. coming up. >> i called her to warn her. >> when "dateline" continues. w. >> when "dateline" continues jos who have turned into their parents. i'm having a big lunch and then just a snack for dinner. so we're using a speakerphone in the store. is that a good idea? one of the ways i do that is to get them out of the home. you're looking for a grout brush, this is -- garth, did he ask for your help? -no, no. -no. we all see it. we all see it. he has blue hair. -okay. -blue. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. -keep it coming. -you don't know him. today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste. when they're sick, they get comfortable anywhere and spread germs everywhere. nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 virus, on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. lysol. what it takes to protect. jim and pam fayed had staked their claim in the online gold-trading business. they began by buying old, gold coins, and selling them, at a profit. then, they expanded. setting up what was essentially a small bank. storing gold for customers, and allowing them to borrow against it. the market grew, and so did the bottom line. pam's best friend, carole neeve. >> they went to gold shows, trade shows in las vegas, san diego, la, do all the meet-and-greet kind of thing. pam was very good at that. she was very charming. jim was more the laid-back, stay away, sit in the booth. >> reporter: timing was good. in 2001, gold was hovering around $250 an ounce. then, it started to take off like a rocket. by 2008, gold was listed at $800 an ounce. soon, the fayeds were getting rich, just off the fees they charged for selling the gold online. >> it doesn't take much to be able to turn a profit. every transaction, whether it's $100 or $2,000 or $100,000, if you were making anywhere from 3 to 5%, per transaction, you've got money coming in. >> reporter: very quickly, the fayeds started making a lot of money. they moved their home business, that this building outside la, and hired employees to staff it. they bought a 2,800-square-foot home. a second home, in nearby moore park, which they called happy camp ranch. complete with horses for pam and jeanette. they were nouveau riche, perhaps, but they were determined not to flaunt it too much. even their oldest daughter, desiree, who started working for the company as a teenager, did not realize how much her parents were raking in. >> so, when you hear figures of tens of millions of dollars coming in, that's news to you. >> it is. yeah. >> did they live that way? >> we had an average house. a two-story home. we weren't living in a mansion. we had extra money to do things we wanted, but it wasn't enough to show they were millionaires, to be honest. >> you never felt like you were rich or living lavishly. >> i knew that we were well off, but not to the millionaire status. >> reporter: one thing the fayeds income did mean was that pam could be a full time mom, something she always dreamed of. >> she wanted to be able to stay home and raise her kids. work, if she wanted to, when she wanted to, which is part of owning your own company. >> reporter: and jim liked if that way, too. he may have liked that, a little too much. though, pam was the vice president of goldfinger coin and bullion, jim fayed was the president. he seemed to like the sound of that. and he, apparently, loved controlling just about every aspect of the business. >> he, originally, was a really humble guy and i feel as the business grew, so did his ego. and basically, changed the person he was into thinking almost as if he was someone who was invincible. >> reporter: and then, one day, jim discovered that he wasn't. his health started to slip. he developed rheumatoid arthritis, and started taking a lot of pills to dull the pain from that. and perhaps, a different side of jim fayed began to emerge. >> there became a point where jim was addicted to pain medications. and it wasn't the same jim that pam knew. by this point, jim wanted total control of her and the company. and her job was to stay home and be a wife. >> reporter: as controlling as jim was, he couldn't control the arthritis in his joints. it forced him to give up going to the office. was he in the hospital or bedridden or -- >> he was bedridden, yes. >> for how long? >> for a couple years. >> really? so, he barely got out of bed for a couple years? >> yes. i felt as he became bedridden, he wasn't as social with us, anymore. he kind of stayed in his bedroom. basically, i felt like he kind of left us, as a family. we didn't really see him much, at that point. it kind of angered me, seeing the person he was turning into. >> reporter: the year was 2006. desiree says, as jim became harder to get along with, it served to push away pam's attempts to be more involved with the company, while her husband was ill. >> i could hear them bickering about the business, on a daily basis. >> specifically? >> nothing specific but just little things here and there that needed to be changed. >> reporter: that are disagreements grew daily and festered, to the point where the couple separated. jim started spending more and more time at the ranch home in moore park. and while the fayed marriage was crumbling, federal prosecutors were taking a look at the booming online gold-trading business. they were looking for evidence of fraud, of tax evasion, and of the transferring of money without the proper-government license. pam's friend, carole, did not want to see pam caught in a federal net. >> i called her, to warn her. i told her she needed to get the money transmitter licenses. and you have to start that process. once you start that process, the feds can't touch you. >> reporter: carole says pam agreed. >> all she ever wanted was for a legitimate company. that's all -- you know, she just wanted to be on the up and up. and she was going to tell jim, even though they were separated. >> reporter: pam urged jim to apply for the licenses. he appears to have been adamantly opposed to a move that would have, essentially, opened goldfinger's books to scrutiny by the federal government. pam decided she was not going to allow jim to roll the dice on their business. the business that had let pam live the life she had always wanted. >> pamela was a girl scout. she wanted to do it right. pamela knew that they were making plenty of money. they, as a family, the fayed family, were flush. they didn't need to worry about nickels and dimes, here and there. and she was, also, aware, i believe, that, at some point, the federal government was going to start looking very closely at them. they couldn't continue building this business, on this international scale, without someone taking a look. and so, pamela's idea was let's do it right. let's cross our ts, let's dot our is. let's get the money licensing. >> her husband said, absolutely not? >> he said, absolutely not. >> reporter: but, pam moved forward, anyway, and withdrew a large sum of cash to apply for the licenses. and for jim fayed, that may have been the last straw. >> he called her names that i cannot, and will not, repeat on your camera. horrible, horrible accusations about pamela fayed, the mother of his own child. and he was doing this, in order to set the stage for what, i believe, was his ultimate goal, was to take all the money, and to crush her during the divorce proceeding. >> in california, it's pretty hard to crush somebody and take all the money in a divorce proceeding. >> i would say so. she helped build the company. she was an officer in the company. she held half of the company's proceeds. i mean, she was half owner. it's as simple as that. >> reporter: and soon, there would be another problem. what pam fayed had worried about would come true. federal investigators would come after goldfinger, indicting both jim and pam fayed because their company didn't have those money-transmitter licenses. >> when the indictment came down, pamela fayed was in contact with her lawyer, very quickly. she, immediately, indicated that she wanted to cooperate with the authorities. that was the position that she was taking. i want to cooperate. i want to do whatever i can to help out the investigation. i didn't do anything wrong, according to pam. what can i do to help? >> did james fayed know that his wife was going to cooperate? >> that's the $64,000 question. coming up. a suspect in the case. and soon, an arrest. >> he wasn't someone that i would ever think could be involved in something like this. but police had only just begun to solve the puzzle. when "dateline" continues. e. when "dateline" continues. hello, i'm dara brown. the final weekend of campaigning is about to get underway in georgia, where toouzuesday's ru elections will decide which party will control the united states senate. president-elect biden will -- and president trump will both be there, on monday. alabama will face ohio state in college football's championship game, on january 11th. it is the fifth time, in six years, that alabama is playing for a national title. now, back to "dateline." welcome back to "dateline." i'm craig melvin. pamela fayed seemed ready to expose her husband's questionable, business practices. could that have led to her murder? here, again, is josh markowitz. >> reporter: lapd detective, salaam abdul, was investigating the murder of a woman in a parking garage. then, he learned that, not only was pam fayed locked in a bitter divorce with her husband jim. but, that the gold-trading company that had generated all the money they were fighting over, was now under federal investigation. and that pam was going to turn on her husband, and cooperate with prosecutors. >> she was probably going to be a witness against him. he was pretty pissed off about that. >> what, potentially, were the penalties for mr. and mrs. fayed in that case? >> potentially, they could have had their assets seized and that was huge. if they had their assets seized, mr. fayed wouldn't have been able to conduct business. >> reporter: after a long investigation, federal agents took jim into kubt day, just days after pam was killed. he was charged with operating a money transfer business without a license. and he pleaded not guilty. at the same time, detective abdul continued his investigation into pam's murder. starting not just with the videotape of jim fayed at the time of the murder. but also, of some security video of the parking-garage exit. >> what we did was that we narrowed it down to the time, around when mrs. fayed was killed. and the vehicles that were leaving the parking structure. >> reporter: in the minutes after the attack, this red suzuki pulls up to the garage exit. the wrong exit. a man holding what seems to be a black, hooded sweatshirt, gets out of the backseat to check the exit gate, before jumping back in. >> we ran the vehicle license check and we found one of the vehicles that were leaving the garage was associated with mr. fayed and goldfinger. >> mr. fayed's business? >> yes. >> reporter: detectives trace that red, suzuki suv to an avis rental-car center. the car was leased by goldfinger. jim fayed's company. one of jim's nephews had recently relocated to california, and had driven the car for about a month, until just a few days before the murder. after that, the car was in the care of the fayeds' ranch hand, a man named jose moya. investigators say it was moya who was behind the wheel. but on the tape, there seemed to be three people in the vehicle. who were they? a month later, jose moya was arrested and charged with pam's murder. he pleaded not guilty. it turns out, hjose moya knew pam. not only did he work on their ranch, he even had his own living quarters on the property. he knew about the fayed's gold. he knew where they stored it. he was trusted to transport the gold back and forth from the business to the home in moore park. >> how well did you know jose? >> i knew him pretty well. he was actually -- he was a really nice guy to me. he was a character. every time he'd come into the office, we'd always joke around with each other. he was -- he wasn't someone that i would ever think could be involved in on something like this. >> you liked him? >> i did. >> your mom liked him? >> she was very fond of joey. >> reporter: had moya charmed his way into the fayed's life as a way to gain their trust? was this all part of a bigger plot to kill the owners and steal their gold? pam best friend recalls how pam talked during the divorce. >> i was on the phone with pamela, and she was really upset. she felt like someone was following her in a truck she did not recognize. i said, are you sure? she says, it's been following me for quite some time. i said, who is it? she goes, i don't know, it's a guy. she kept looking and watching. and they turned off, into a parking lot. at that point, she could see that it was jose. and she says, why is jose following me? and i said, i don't know, pam, what the hell is going on? you need to call the cops, and tell the cops. >> reporter: tina holland's last visit with pam was a week and a half before she was killed. >> and i just walked in, and she was out in the backyard and she was smoking like a train. and she honestly looked like she had lost 15 pounds, since two weeks prior. she was in her pajamas. it was 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. her hair was all crumpled up. she looked horrible. and she said, tina, jim is gonna do it. and i said, what are you talking about, pam? and she said, jim is gonna have me murdered. coming up. could her suspicions be true? detectives take one more look at the tape, the exact moment of the murder. is the answer right in front of them? when "dateline" continues. telino the mirror. and know you're not alone because this. come on jessie one more. is the reflection of an unstoppable community in the mirror. >> reporter: jim fayed was in a federal lockup facing white-collar charges. operating an internet-gold business, without a money-transmitter license. but, lapd detective, salaam abdul rahman was investigating whether jim had killed his wife to keep her from cooperating frin that federal case. detectives focused on that security video, and realized those grainy pictures were so telling, not because of jim fayed is doing but, because of what jim isn't doing. it's the moment of pam's murder, in the parking garage next door, and everyone in the frame starts to react. to move toward the sound of pam fayed's screams. everyone, that is, except jim fayed. he doesn't seem interested. is it your belief that, at the time, surveillance cameras capture mr. fayed sort of walking around the courtyard area, that he knew his wife was being killed, at that exact moment? >> yes. the reason i base my belief on that is because mr. fayed, when he walks out of the building, everyone's interested in what's going on in the parking structure, except mr. fayed, because he knows what had just transpired. >> reporter: but that apparent disinterest in pam's screams wasn't enough to charge jim with murder. in fact, there was little evidence he had anything to do with it. then, detective abdul rahman's phone rang. >> the assistant u.s. attorney tells us that mr. fayed's cellmate wants to talk to whoever is handling the investigation of mrs. fayed's death. >> and what does the cellmate tell you? >> the cellmate tells us that mr. fayed had confessed to him that he had hired someone to kill his wife. >> reporter: detectives believe that someone was jose moya, the ranch hand. the cellmate, also, had other information that had not been reported in the news. >> mr. fayed's cellmate had told us mr. fayed tried to set his wife up to be killed four different times. what's interesting about that is that, on one of these occasions, he said mr. fayed set up a time where she was at a party in malibu on the fourth of july. >> was pamly fayed at a party in malibu on july 4th? >> yeah, she was. and that led to his credibility, so, at that time, we decided to get this conversation on tape. >> reporter: so, they wired the cellmate for sound. and they heard jim fayed talking about how he tried to kill his wife, but how it just hadn't worked out that time. former prosecutor, alan jackson. >> james fayed describes, in detail, how he told the killers about a party that pamela was going to be attending in malibu. according to him, they were simply supposed to car jack her and kill her, and everybody would think that it was just a random, act of violence. nobody would know anything the better. >> reporter: now, with a confession on tape, both jim fayed and jose moya were charged with pam's murder. but there was more work to be done, in order to track down the others involved. it seems like you, pretty quickly, fixed on mr. fayed as the only suspect here. and the only question was, since it wasn't his hand on the knife, whose hand was it? and how do you connect that person to him? >> correct. and the first thing that we noticed was that there was three individuals in the vehicle that was registered to mr. fayed's company. so, we knew we had three additional suspects. now, the only question was how do we tie those three to mr. fayed? and that was done through cell phone searches and, also, cell-site coordination. >> it would take more than a year to gather enough evidence to identify and charge two more suspects with murder. in june, 2010, steven simmons and gabriel marquez were arrested. prosecutors say, jim didn't know them, that moya hired them. investigators say steven was the alleged stabber, and gabriel was the lookout. both, pleaded not guilty. but amazingly, jim fayed wasn't done with the idea of murder. he, apparently, believed his cellmate had connections, and he wanted to hire a new hit man, from jail. >> he wants to -- taken care of. he actually drew out a map that was never found, depicting where he can find the ranch hand to actually carry out this murder. and what he wanted to do was have the ranch hand tortured so he can actually tell his cellmate or tell the hit man where the other two individuals were. >> reporter: prosecutors say the price tag for pam fayed's killing was $25,000. he was bankrolling it. >> no question. he commissioned this crime and that's what -- where the investigation began to lead us. that's where the evidence began to lead us. we knew, clearly, that he had an alibi for the actual stabbing. he is not the stabber. he is not the actual killer. >> you also knew he had probably a bigger motive than anybody else. >> there were always, in my mind, dual motives for james fayed to contract the murder of his wife. one was the divorce. but one was to silence who he thought was going to be a witness against him, pamela fayed. >> did he just give this hit man that he hired the money and say go kill my wife? >> james fayed is a control freak. if he is anything, he wants to be in control, at all times. which is why he didn't want his wife, pamela, doing anything having to do with transfer licenses. the same mo is what drove this contract killing. >> reporter: and investigators believe that jim fayed exhibited that need for control, as he planned his wife's murder. he focused, they believe, on a particular fear of pam's. >> it was discovered that she had a phobia about knives. and she had believed that she -- if she was killed, that she was gonna be killed by someone with a knife. >> who expresses a belief that, if they're killed, they are going to be killed with a knife? i mean, that sounds like somebody who almost is foretelling their own death. >> and it's, also, my belief that mr. fayed knew that -- knew of his wife's phobia with knives. and that was one of the reasons that a knife was used. >> you think it's no accident that pamela fayed was killed with a knife? you think that her husband deliberately, not just had her killed but had her killed in the way she was most frightened of? >> that's my belief. >> reporter: jim fayed was to go on trial for murder and conspiracy to commit murder. if convicted, he was facing th death penalty. the jury would learn about all of the evidence investigators collected. they would hear from witnesses. and of course, from jim fayed, himself, in his own words, in what his attorney would claim was simply a performance for an audience of one. and now, you're about to hear the tapes, too. >> she, she, she ran her mouth too much. she ran it out of control. coming up, true confession or terrific con job? >> he was conned into playing along with the cell mate in order to survive. >> what would a jury think about the tale of the tape? when "dateline" continues. when "dateline" continues. t it? got it. it's slippery. nooooo... noooo... nooooo... yeeeesss... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and each sheet is 2x more absorbent, so you can use less. hey look, i got it. bounty, the quicker picker upper. i guess i look pretty... ridiculous.

>> should have kept her mouth shut, yeah. >> on the tape, he described how he hired someone to kill pam and set up several scenarios to have that happen but says it was one missed opportunity after another. >> there were four different other occasions where i had it so it was perfectly clean. >> such as? no cameras? >> yeah, such as walking out of a july 4th party down in malibu at a friend's house with 100 other people. >> they could've just done it then? >> yeah. it was a rural area. i even had the times, the dates, everything, the location, all he had to do was sit there and wait for her to get in the car and jack it. and everybody at the party wovz said, oh, yeah, she went home. >> he claims it was play acting. >> jim claims he was conned along with playing along with this cellmate, in order to avoid appearing weak or vulnerable, and that he was simply trying to make a favorable impression on this tough guy in this tough environment, where he had to appear tough in order to survive. >> but on the tape, jim told his cellmate how he wished he could have done the deed himself. >> i was waiting and waiting and waiting to figure something out. i wanted -- i just wanted to do it myself. but i know i'll never be able to -- be able to get away with it, never. >> and he claims he would have gotten anyone in on plot for what he said would have been another $25,000. >> should get done by next week or so. he'll go out and get there and get that fool and put them, take him down and ask him some questions and i'm sure he'll be obliged to let us know anything we want to know. >> make sure all loose ends are -- >> there you go. >> are clean. make sure all loose ends are sewn up. >> it took the jury less than three days to find jim fayed guilty. he also received the death penalty. jose moya, gabriel marquez and steven simmons were all convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. they were each sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. jim fayed left behind two daughters who were essentially orphaned by the greed of a man they once loved and trusted. >> i almost feel as if he doesn't feel bad, or maybe he's embarrassed, i'm not sure. i can't say that. i honestly feel like he lost himself as a human being. he's a shell. he has no moral compass. he's completely off. he's not a person anymore. he's not a human being. >> anything you want to say to him, if he's watching this? >> i just want to ask why? why? what was he thinking? did he not think this would affect me and jeanette? i mean, i want to know why he thought it was okay for him to do this. i feel like money and power is what got to him. >> and he cared more about money and power than he did about -- >> his own family. >> that's all for this edition of "dateline." i'm craig melvin. thank you for watching. first up on msnbc, different day, same schpiel, president trump kicking off the new year calling the georgia senate runoffs illegal and invalid, while also tearing into republican leadership. >> what's your reaction to the president calling you out on twitter and saying he wants to put a primary challenge? >> yeah, well, finally, an attack tweet! i'm not sure what i did to be deserving of all that, but that's -- that's fine. >> this as senate republicans deal a major blow to the president, delivering his first veto override in his final days in

on a message of change. >> what this requires is change. big change. change, change, change. change. change. change. >> leave me alone i don't have the change. >> not change. it's just bush. >> there's not much there. >> he'll speck to giving speeches like he did today. >> what this requires is change. >> can you really trust mitt romney? >> trust matters. >> trust versus change. >> we need real change. >> republicans are going right back to the old, ugly playbook. >> john sununu. >> when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states. i aplowed colin for standing with him. >> congratulations john sununu. >> does it take mitt romney off. >> the more courage to stand up and say what they said was wrong. >> of course if he refused to let the media ask you questions you never have to worry about giving them answers. >> proipt will hit the interview circuit today. >> doing a total of ten different interviews. >> saul about targeting young voters there. >> we're down to the turnout operations. >> obama's the one who is working it harder. >> 11 days left. there's 11 days left in this campaign. every move counts right now. >> are you fired up? are you ready to go? with just 11 days until the election, which of course means 12 days until john sununu climbs back into his cave, and with only minutes left in which mitt romney can convince me to vote for him, mitt romney remains silent today about his favorite crazy people. mitt romney hasn't answered a single question about the only senate candidate he has done a campaign ad for. the candidate who said this. >> i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that god intended to happen. >> today a reporter asked romney campaign senior adviser eric fern strom why the campaign has not asked mourdock to pull the television afd. he said that's his decision. today in wisconsin vice president joe biden had to say about mitt romney and paul ryan. >> they can't even get up the gumgs to condemn the stalts made by two of their candidates in the united states senate. it's not enough to tell me you don't agree. it's not to stand up to say what they said was wrong. simply wrong. >> today mitt romney did not address what his campaign national cochair john sununu said last night about colin powell's endorsement of president obama. >> we have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring president obama. >> what reason would that be? >> well, i think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states, i applaud colin for standing with him. >> what reason would that be was the question and john sununu issued this lie today. colin powell is a friend and i respect the endorsement decision that he made today and i do not doubt that it was based on anything but his support of the president's policies. piers morgan's question was whether clin powell should leave the part and i don't think he should. >> i don't think there's many people in america who would question general powell's credibility, his patriotism, his willingness to tell it straight. and so any suggestion that general powell would make such a profound statement in such a important election, based on anything other than what he thought was what's going to be best for america, i think doesn't make much sense. >> today the republican leaning "chicago tribune" endorsed a democrat for president for only the second time in its existence. the first time was barack obama in 2008. on questions on economics and limited government, the "chicago tribune" has forged principles that put us closer to the challenger in this race. bolstered by his steadiness in office, cognizant of the vast unfinished business before hem vths we endorse the re-election of barack obama. a cnn poll has president obama leading mitt romney by four points, 50% to 46%. a new england college poll of new hampshire likely voters has president obama leading mitt romney by three points, 49 to 46. tonight, nate silver of the new york times blog forecasts that on november 6th, president obama has a 74% chance of winning re-election and over 13 point increase in the last two weeks. nate silver projects president obama will win 295 electoral votes and mitt romney will win 243. so krystal ball we are 12 days away from the ugliest creature that mitt romney has dragged into the presidential campaign, john sununu. he was driven out of washington, in scandal when he was the white house chief of staff for the first president bush. the man was driven out in scandal and it took mitt romney to drag him back in front of television cameras. >> it's been such a bizarre choice. he is the person he put forward the most. he's their lead surrogate and it's such a strange choice for his campaign and this is not the first time that he's stepped in it. he's the one who had to apologize for saying the president needs to learn how to be an american. he's the one who called the president lazy after the first debate. this guy has been more of a liability. and on the colin powell endorsement, it was likely to be a one-day story. john sununu has ensured that we have a reason to continue talking about how clin powell's endorsement is for another day. >> and he thinks he can put out the lie about what the question was. >> that was unbelievable. >> the question was why do you think he endorsed him. >> i think he forgot he was on tv when he made these remarks. >> i think the game with them is we don't care. we're kind of glad you said it. we like racial messaging in the campaign and we're going to issue an apology that won't actually be an apology because the media kind of demands that in the way they do business so we'll put this thing out there and we'll just lie in the apology and the clarification. >> it was taken out of context. >> yeah, because that's their game. >> that's what makes it worse, really. that it is such a nod and wink. this did come up last cycle when colin powell endorsed. the one silver lining is i do think, you're right about how weak the spinning on apology was, the fact they had to say anything reflects the fact they're thre have to say anything from this stuff. >> when you break down governor romney's approach, it won't add jobs. it won't reduce our deficit. and so there's just not much there. >> and the television ads are now powering out fast and furious. there's a new ad starring jay-z. >> for so long there was a voice that was silenced out there, as far as exercising the right to vote. i think it was a voice that was silent because people had lost hope. they didn't believe their voice mattered or counted. at the end of the day it never trickled down to where we lived. now people are exercising their right and you're starting to see the power of our vote. it means something for the first time for a lot of people, having someone in office who understands how powerful our voice can be is very important. >> krystal, obviously not a policy persuasion ad, a turnout ad. >> a turnout ad, an inspiration ad. it looks like those efforts are working. if you look at georgia, obviously not a swing or battleground state. african-american turnout is on pace to be at record historical levels, higher even than 2008. so it looks like these efforts to remind people of how important their vote is, how their vote could be the difference, how important it is to have that voice, it seems to be breaking through. >> but also, and jay-z is an ad that obviously resonates with african-americans and the hip hop community, but it's also a youth ad. this is a famous person. jay z is a model of american. >> show business royalty. >> and he's a model of american success which means that you won. he raps about saying basically i can't help the poor if i'm one of them. i got rich and gave back. that's a win-win. this is american capitalism and american success with a social contract. he raps about that. he supported obama for those reasons both personal and policy and i think it's really strong because this is someone that people trust. he's credible and it says something to me that's amazing about where we are in america. that you can take a person who did struggle with drugs and other things on the streets but has built himself up and held himself out as what he says in that ad, a moltd of the american dream. i think that's great. >> mitt romney stepped in it on the auto issue today in ohio. let's listen to this. >> i saw a store today, one of the great manufacturers in this state, jeep. now owned by the italians, is thinking of moving all production to china. i will fight for every good job in america. >> okay. so chrysler corporation then issues this statement. jeep has no intention of shifting production of its jeep models out of north america to china. it's simply reviewing the opportunities to return jeep output to china for the world's largest auto market. a careful and unbiassed reading of the bloomberg take would have saved unnecessary fantasies. so bloomberg had this piece about moving jobs to china. they weren't saying that. they were saying maybe they could expand and do some business in china. >> it's actually a success sorry. >> you have this giant corporation who is uninhibited about referring to what romney is saying about unnecessary fantasies. >> i've got to tell you i'm not polly an na here. but the way that mitt romney has run this campaign, has been disgusting. no regard for the facts. no regard for the truth. willing to say anything just as you were alluding to with john sununu, willing to say anything that serves his purpose at the moment and relying on the fact that he's not going to get called out on it and most people are going to hear the initial claim and not the fact check. it's really disturbing especially in a situation like this where he is talking to people whose jobs are literally on the line. it's unbelievable. >> president obama picking up a bunch of newspaper editorial endorsements in swing states. the las vegas sun, the miami herald, and also in the detroit paper. they endorsed mitt romney but said he was wrong about the auto bailout. they were lucky they had the president they did back then. krystal ball and arry mel ber, thank you for joining me tonight. >> thanks. coming up. early voting in ohio and right here on "the last word." i'm going to fill

♪ . >> in the middle of roughly 24 hours riding along during several stops with the obama campaign. earlier today that meant a stop in iowa. we had an opportunity to sit down with the president, all of it by the way for a special package of coverage on tomorrow evening's broadcast of rock center. >> it is my honor to welcome the 44th president of the united states. barack obama. >> i'm honored to be sitting next to the 44th president of the united states, mr. barack obama. it's an honor. >> with just 11 days until election, president obama made the media rounds this week, in between a nonstop campaign scheduled today alone, the president did at least seven affiliate interviews, a handful of radio interviews and a live interview for the under-30 crowd on mtv. what are you most worried about? malia getting her driver's licenses, malia malia going out on a date or malia being on facebook? >> i would worry about facebook. >> mitt romney on the other hand is playing hard to get. >> although it was last april when we began requesting that former governor romney answer your questions, his team has told us he's been, quote, unable to fit it in, unquote. >> we should also know once again, we've asked for the chance to spend similar time with the romney campaign. >> of course we extended the same offer to governor romney and we hoped to be able to bring you that interview sometime soon. >> joining me now for an exclusive interview, mtv's sway callaway. sway, congratulations. >> thank you very kindly. >> it turns out he's not that hard to get. he's doing all these shows, right? >> he's everywhere. i talked to him about that off mike. >> what did he say about that? >> he said he's anxious to get out there and get the message across in terms of young voters and talk about the issues that matter the most for them. and he believed that light night talk show hosts make better interviewers because it allows him to loosen up. >> he also has to be comfort enough to do this. because he doesn't know what sway is going to come up with. you had questions from some viewers and all that, tweeted questions all that stuff. >> facebook and tweets. >> and anything can happen in those situations. and that seems to be what mitt romney is afraid of, is those anything can happen situations. >> i think mitt romney his unsure of his mastery of popular culture probably for good reason. i was imaging if you asked him about facebook he would be like, a photo album? a book of faces? i don't think he quite knows all of that. whereas i do believe the president is ultimately a nerd, but i think that nerdiness serves him well in cultural situation. i think he studies. i think he knows what's going on. i also think he does have this underlying confidence that he is going to be able to handle a situation. he is going to be able to handle it if someone asked him a tough question. and i want to give the late night hosts some question. i think he did a very interesting interview on jon stewart and let's face it, a lot of americans get their news from those shows. >> you guys have invited mitt romney? >> absolutely. we would love to have mitt romney speak with young people, give him the opportunity to talk about the issues that concern them as well. we reached out to both of them. hopefully we'll get mitt romney. >> there were two shows, two very big ones, by which i mean tall. complaining about this last night. let's look at david letterman and bill o'reilly. >> we have our own little problem. >> romney won't come on. he's not coming on at all. he doesn't have to come on. >> i think you and i because he's not on "the factor." we should go together and just confront him. >> i would watch that. >> we would all watch that. >> that would be fascinating. >> sway, if mitt romney was on mtv, what are the kinds of things you think that you and some of the questioners today would have put to him that would be different from the questions that they put to the president? >> i'm not sure which ones would be different. i know we would talk to him about, you know, the economy and jobs. what would he plan to do to create more jobs for young people and build the economy. same-sex marriage was a big topic, cost of education was a gigantic issue that came up with young people. so, you know, so the question would have been similar. it's not about -- we look at elections and policies through the eyes of young people. so whatever concerns them most and affects their every day life are the questions that they ask. >> one thing i was struck by was, it was about a half hour and a bunch of questions from kids, of military age, not one question about the other kids of military age who are in afghanistan were now in our 11th year of war, not one question about that. >> if we keep going in afghanistan we might get questions from those same kids ten years from now. we're aware of it and aware of the cost, a lot of people who aren't fighting it think of it as something that other people do. >> my favorite thing sway was you speaking to him father to father. >> that was interesting. one of the questions we posed what are you most worried about malia getting a driver's license. >> how old is your daughter? >> my daughter is the same age as his, 14. so i was curious as to what he would say about facebook driver's license, or dating and it was hilarious that he said i'm not worried, the secret service will follow her around. and what our power 12.org campaign that we're doing, those are the type of issues that come up as well. how does your president view a teenager or soon to be voter. i thought it went really well. we had a lot of questions we wanted to get in but we only had so much time. >> i'm sure it must be nerve racking and also you're listening to his answer thinking am i going to get another question? >> i skipped a few. the global climate we wanted to talk about that definitely because we didn't hear anything about that in the debates. that's an important issue in young americans. gun violence was an important issue that we had a chance to bring up as well. >> in very particular terms to chicago, it was great. >> sway and annamarie, thank you for joining me. >> thank you. coming up, early voting in ohio and early voting right here. and up next, on "the last word," a man who defined what it was to be

>> we're firing up the president's base and making sure that people understand that this is a choice election and in that no one can sit this out and we have to make sure that in the state of ohio that we continue to rally the base, get folks excited and they are very excited, lawrence. contrarry to what motion may be seeing. there is no enthusiasm gap in the state of ohio. they fully understand what is at stake here. >> joy reid, the obama chain has 131 field offices in ohio compared to just 40 for the romney campaign. is that all we have to know about the voter turnout situation in ohio or are there more complications to know about? >> first of all, i have to thank you lawrence for giving nina turner and i a chance to prove we are two different people. >> it's about time. >> no, it is all about ground game. at this stage of a campaign, it is all goabout gotv. get out the vote. it was sort of turnwe, they could turn the operation back on and the romney campaign had to ramp up which they haven't done yet. so today in ohio what you see is people literally putting people into vans and getting them to the polls. i actually saw a lot of young people at the polls, more than i would have expected and they're actually self motivated to get here and vote because they're very motivated to get it done early so they don't have to wait in line on election day. >> there was a drop in turnout for the 2010 midterm campaign. has the obama campaign been able to identify those voters and aim for them? that seems to be the first place to go to look to build up the turnout back up toward 2008 numbers. >> absolutely. we're going after them strong. make no mistake about it, the ministers in the cleveland area, or in the state of ohio to be more expansive, they are out there. we're going to make sure we 'driving out the souls to the polls. that's why when we were in the central community today, a community where some of those ridiculous billboards appeared to make sure that we say to that community that voting ask a right and that it is not a crime and that you have something at stake, your children's future is at stake and we've got to stand behind the president who believes in the state, who believes in the 47%. who believes that women should make dollar for dollar, who believe that women should have a right to chose their own bodies. they should not have to ask government for position. absolutely, ohio is in full effect and we are fired up and more than ready to go. >> if i could quickly give you a couple of stats. you talk about a drop in turnout. i spoke with the supervisors of elections here and she said that you have 266,000 people early vote in 2008, which is the first year you could do it in person as opposed to just by mail. she's expecting that to go up. she was saying people really appreciated the process and the difference this year is more people are switching to the in-person form of early voting rather than just doing it absentee. she's saying they're looking to do about 2,000 voters per za, which is up from 2008, because people are taking more advantage of the process. >> is there any problem with the number of early voting locations that are available in ohio? >> no that i've heard of, lawrence. not at all. people understand where to go. we've been early voting in the state of ohio since 2006. and people understand it, which makes it even that much more ridiculous that republicans would go after early in-person voting. but people because of the actions of the secretary of state and the gop-led legislature, people are that much more determined to make sure their voice is heard. people are mad at hell, particularly in the african-american community, that folks who have political power would try to use it to suppress the vote. but they are out and they are voting. >> and this is one case where it is fair across the board. there are 88 counties here in ohio and each gets one early vote location. but the supervisor of elections gets to choose where that is, so they can put it in the place where they feel it's more central and most convenient. in the case of cayahoga county, it's right downtown. >> thank you both for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> good to be here. >> coming up, lena dunham made an ad for the obama campaign and it is so controversial to people who do not understand jokes. and it's made rush limbaugh think outloud, about what it would be like if he was a woman. and, i will vote. it's early voting night here on "the last word," and i'm going to need the help of a former california governor to fill out my ballot because that's how crazy and complicated it is. that's coming up. i am probably going to the gas station about once a month. last time i was at a gas station was about...i would say... two months ago. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i go to the gas station such a small amount that i forget how to put gas in my car.

who thought this was a great idea? >> how about this ad that they -- this -- here we are in the midst of the war on women. the republicans hate women guilty of all this mysongeny. we've got a 26-year-old television star, female, basically saying if you're going to lose your virginity and vote at the same time, it's got to be with the right guy. vote for obama, just like having sex with obama. you've got to choose the right guy. if i were a woman today, this -- i would feel insulted each and every day. the way they look at women. all thinking the same way. all wanting the same things. i think that ad, some people look at it and they'll think it's cool and hip and representative of the country day modern pop culture but i think it's an insult to women everywhere. this is the kind of thing you do in desperation when you do have an jaebd when you don't have anything positive to say about yourself. >> yes the hurler of insulths of women everywhere is suddenly the defender. every one you just heard from thinks of ronald reagan as a perfectly reasonable candidate for saint hood. he got 100% of the votes from the can't take a joke crowd and 110 votes from the can't take a dirty joke crowd. and today's uncomfortable fact that when he was running for president, ronald reagan told a double entendre joke that ingeniously included a double entendre that allows for both straight and gay. >> listen, i know what it's like you pull that republican lever because i used to be a democrat myself. and i could tell you, it only hurts for a minute. and then you'll feel just great. >> oh, my. did you get all those entendres? ronald reagan just told you that it only hurts for a minute and then you'll feel just great. now, i don't think we have to decide whether ronald reagan intended that to be a straight or gay entendre. the guy was a hollywood actor. he had seen it all. and he knew, there is never, never a joke that has too many entendre. >> listen. i know what it's like the first time you pull that republican lever, because i used to be a democrat myself. and i could tell you, it only hurts for a minute. and then you'll feel just great. in america today we're running out of a vital resource we need to compete on the global stage. what we need are people prepared for the careers of our new economy. by 2025 we could have 20 million jobs without enough college graduates to fill them. that's why at devry university, we're teaming up with companies like cisco to help make sure everyone's ready with the know how we need for a new tomorrow.

>> well i'm going to vote for jackie lacy. allen jackson is a good prosecutor and a good man, but lacy has been the chief of staff for several years and this job is a huge administrator job. people don't know, l.a. county is larger than 35 states. so you've got prosecutors all over the place. >> in this information book you get, it tells you something about alan jackson. and one of the things it seas says here for him, it says alan jackson prosecuted music producer phil expect ter winning los angeles county's first celebrity murder conviction in over 40 years. that's a real swipe over the o.j. case. >> it is. >> so jackie lacy, 64. >> this job is largely administrative. >> they're not in the courtroom? >> no. >> all right. now, these ballot measures, these are really tough. the first one. temporary taxes to fund education. that sounds great. guaranteed local public safety funding initiative. it's a constitutional amendment. i don't feel that i should be amending the constitution. it says it increases taxes on earnings over $250,000 for seven years and sales taxes by one quarter cent for four years. how much does it increase taxes over $250,000? >> it's a graduated scale. a little bit 250, more for 500, more over a million. >> that's not even in here. >> i'm giving you the answer. >> how are voters? >> this is the voter guide. >> it's in that? the phone book version. >> i brought that for you. in fairness this is printed front and back. i have it printed one side of the page. it's about half this side. but if you go through it, all of that is explained. >> it's just unbelievable. >> here's the deal. arnold had a temporary tax that as compared when he left off. >> i have no problem with taxation -- >> you and i will pay more, the average guy will only pay 1/4 of a cent on sales tax. >> my instinct is to vote for it. >> this is a winner take all proposition. schools either get 6 billion or they're cutting 6 billion zbll i'm voting for that. number 30, i'm voting yes. >> number 80. >> yeah. i'm voting 80 in the box here. it's question 30, you vote not in the 30 box you vote in the 80 box. >> that's right. >> i've got to do this president thing. the time is running out. rosanne barr, barack obama, you know what, i voted for barack ob
>> we are just 11 days out from the election. >> with 11 days left in this campaign. >> 11 days left. >> mitt romney's latest description of himself. >> running on a message of change. >> what this requires is change. big change. change, change, change. change. change. change. >> leave me alone i don't have the change. >> not change. it's just bush. >> there's not much there. >> he'll speck to giving speeches like he did today. >> what this requires is change. >> can you really trust mitt romney? >> trust matters. >> trust versus change. >> we need real change. >> republicans are going right back to the old, ugly playbook. >> john sununu. >> when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states. i applaud colin for standing with him. >> congratulations john sununu. >> does it take mitt romney off. >> the more courage to stand up and say what they said was wrong. >> of course if he refused to let the media ask you questions you never have to worry about giving them answers. >> president obama will hit the interview circuit today. >> doing a total of ten different interviews. >> saul about targeting young voters there. >> we're down to the turnout operations. >> obama's the one who is working it harder. >> 11 days left. there's 11 days left in this campaign. every move counts right now. >> are you fired up? are you ready to go? with just 11 days until the election, which of course means 12 days until john sununu climbs back into his cave, and with only minutes left in which mitt romney can convince me to vote for him, mitt romney remains silent today about his favorite crazy people. mitt romney hasn't answered a single question about the only senate candidate he has done a campaign ad for. the candidate who said this. >> i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that god intended to happen. >> today a reporter asked romney campaign senior adviser eric fehrnstrom why the campaign has not asked mourdock to pull the television ad. he said that's his decision. today in wisconsin vice president joe biden had to say about mitt romney and paul ryan. >> they can't even get up the gumption to condemn the statements made by two of their candidates in the united states senate. it's not enough to tell me you don't agree. it's not to stand up to say what they said was wrong. simply wrong. >> today mitt romney did not address what his campaign national cochair john sununu said last night about colin powell's endorsement of president obama. >> we have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring president obama. >> what reason would that be? >> well, i think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states, i applaud colin for standing with him. >> what reason would that be was the question and john sununu issued this lie today. colin powell is a friend and i respect the endorsement decision that he made today and i do not doubt that it was based on anything but his support of the president's policies. piers morgan's question was whether colin powell should leave the part and i don't think he should. >> i don't think there's many people in america who would question general powell's credibility, his patriotism, his willingness to tell it straight. and so any suggestion that general powell would make such a profound statement in such a important election, based on anything other than what he thought was what's going to be best for america, i think doesn't make much sense. >> today the republican leaning "chicago tribune" endorsed a democrat for president for only the second time in its existence. the first time was barack obama in 2008. on questions on economics and limited government, the "chicago tribune" has forged principles that put us closer to the challenger in this race. bolstered by his steadiness in office, cognizant of the vast unfinished business before hem >> we endorse the re-election of barack obama. a cnn poll has president obama leading mitt romney by four points, 50% to 46%. a new england college poll of new hampshire likely voters has president obama leading mitt romney by three points, 49 to 46. tonight, nate silver of the new york times blog forecasts that has a 74% chance of winning re-election and over 13 point increase in the last two weeks. nate silver projects president obama will win 295 electoral votes and mitt romney will win 243. so krystal ball we are 12 days away from the ugliest creature that mitt romney has dragged into the presidential campaign, john sununu. he was driven out of washington, in scandal when he was the white house chief of staff for the first president bush. the man was driven out in scandal and it took mitt romney to drag him back in front of television cameras. >> it's been such a bizarre choice. he is the person he put forward the most. he's their lead surrogate and it's such a strange choice for his campaign and this is not the first time that he's stepped in it. he's the one who had to apologize for saying the president needs to learn how to be an american. he's the one who called the president lazy after the first debate. this guy has been more of a liability. and on the colin powell endorsement, it was likely to be a one-day story. john sununu has ensured that we have a reason to continue talking about how colin powell's endorsement is for another day. >> and he thinks he can put out the lie about what the question was. >> that was unbelievable. >> the question was why do you think he endorsed him. >> i think he forgot he was on tv when he made these remarks. >> i think the game with them is we don't care. we're kind of glad you said it. we like racial messaging in the campaign and we're going to issue an apology that won't actually be an apology because the media kind of demands that in the way they do business so we'll put this thing out there and we'll just lie in the apology and the clarification. >> it was taken out of context. >> yeah, because that's their game. >> that's what makes it worse, really. that it is such a nod and wink. this did come up last cycle when colin powell endorsed. the one silver lining is i do think, you're right about how weak the spinning on apology was, the fact they had to say anything reflects the fact they're they have to say anything from this stuff. >> when you break down governor romney's approach, it won't add jobs. it won't reduce our deficit. and so there's just not much there. >> and the television ads are now powering out fast and furious. there's a new ad starring jay-z. >> for so long there was a voice that was silenced out there, as far as exercising the right to vote. i think it was a voice that was silent because people had lost hope. they didn't believe their voice mattered or counted. at the end of the day it never trickled down to where we lived. now people are exercising their right and you're starting to see the power of our vote. it means something for the first time for a lot of people, having someone in office who understands how powerful our voice can be is very important. >> krystal, obviously not a policy persuasion ad, a turnout ad. >> a turnout ad, an inspiration ad. it looks like those efforts are working. if you look at georgia, obviously not a swing or battleground state. african-american turnout is on pace to be at record historical levels, higher even than 2008. so it looks like these efforts to remind people of how important their vote is, how their vote could be the difference, how important it is to have that voice, it seems to be breaking through. >> but also, and jay-z is an ad that obviously resonates with african-americans and the hip hop community, but it's also a youth ad. this is a famous person. jay z is a model of american. >> show business royalty. >> and he's a model of american success which means that you won. he raps about saying basically i can't help the poor if i'm one of them. i got rich and gave back. that's a win-win. this is american capitalism and american success with a social contract. he raps about that. he supported obama for those reasons both personal and policy and i think it's really strong because this is someone that people trust. he's credible and it says something to me that's amazing about where we are in america. that you can take a person who did struggle with drugs and other things on the streets but has built himself up and held himself out as what he says in that ad, a model of the american dream. i think that's great. >> mitt romney stepped in it on the auto issue today in ohio. let's listen to this. >> i saw a store today, one of the great manufacturers in this state, jeep. now owned by the italians, is thinking of moving all production to china. i will fight for every good job in america. >> okay. so chrysler corporation then issues this statement. jeep has no intention of shifting production of its jeep models out of north america to china. it's simply reviewing the opportunities to return jeep output to china for the world's largest auto market. a careful and unbiassed reading of the bloomberg take would have saved unnecessary fantasies. so bloomberg had this piece about moving jobs to china. they weren't saying that. they were saying maybe they could expand and do some business in china. >> it's actually a success sorry. >> you have this giant corporation who is uninhibited about referring to what romney is saying about unnecessary fantasies. >> i've got to tell you i'm not polly anna here. but the way that mitt romney has run this campaign, has been disgusting. no regard for the facts. no regard for the truth. willing to say anything just as you were alluding to with john sununu, willing to say anything that serves his purpose at the moment and relying on the fact that he's not going to get called out on it and most people are going to hear the initial claim and not the fact check. it's really disturbing especially in a situation like this where he is talking to people whose jobs are literally on the line. it's unbelievable. >> president obama picking up a bunch of newspaper editorial endorsements in swing states. the las vegas sun, the miami herald, and also in the detroit paper. they endorsed mitt romney but said he was wrong about the auto bailout. they were lucky they had the president they did back then. krystal ball and ari melber, thank you for

president, all of it by the way for a special package of coverage on tomorrow evening's broadcast of rock center. >> it is my honor to welcome the 44th president of the united states. barack obama. >> i'm honored to be sitting next to the 44th president of the united states, mr. barack obama. it's an honor. >> with just 11 days until election, president obama made the media rounds this week, in between a nonstop campaign scheduled today alone, the president did at least seven affiliate interviews, a handful of radio interviews and a live interview for the under-30 crowd on mtv. what are you most worried about? malia getting her driver's licenses, malia going out on a date or malia being on facebook? >> i would worry about facebook. >> mitt romney on the other hand is playing hard to get. >> although it was last april when we began requesting that former governor romney answer your questions, his team has told us he's been, quote, unable to fit it in, unquote. >> we should also know once again, we've asked for the chance to spend similar time with the romney campaign. >> of course we extended the same offer to governor romney and we hoped to be able to bring you that interview sometime soon. >> joining me now for an exclusive interview, mtv's sway callaway. sway, congratulations. >> thank you very kindly. >> it turns out he's not that hard to get. he's doing all these shows, right? >> he's everywhere. i talked to him about that off mike. >> what did he say about that? >> he said he's anxious to get out there and get the message across in terms of young voters and talk about the issues that matter the most for them. and he believed that light night talk show hosts make better interviewers because it allows him to loosen up. >> he also has to be comfort enough to do this. because he doesn't know what sway is going to come up with. you had questions from some viewers and all that, tweeted questions all that stuff. >> facebook and tweets. >> and anything can happen in those situations. and that seems to be what mitt romney is afraid of, is those anything can happen situations. >> i think mitt romney his unsure of his mastery of popular culture probably for good reason. i was imaging if you asked him about facebook he would be like, a photo album? a book of faces? i don't think he quite knows all of that. whereas i do believe the president is ultimately a nerd, but i think that nerdiness serves him well in cultural situation. i think he studies. i think he knows what's going on. i also think he does have this underlying confidence that he is going to be able to handle a situation. he is going to be able to handle it if someone asked him a tough question. and i want to give the late night hosts some question. i think he did a very interesting interview on jon stewart and let's face it, a lot of americans get their news from those shows. >> you guys have invited mitt romney? >> absolutely. we would love to have mitt romney speak with young people, give him the opportunity to talk about the issues that concern them as well. we reached out to both of them. hopefully we'll get mitt romney. >> there were two shows, two very big ones, by which i mean tall. complaining about this last night. let's look at david letterman and bill o'reilly. >> we have our own little problem. >> romney won't come on. he's not coming on at all. he doesn't have to come on. >> i think you and i because he's not on "the factor." we should go together and just confront him. >> i would watch that. >> we would all watch that. >> that would be fascinating. >> sway, if mitt romney was on mtv, what are the kinds of things you think that you and some of the questioners today would have put to him that would be different from the questions that they put to the president? >> i'm not sure which ones would be different. i know we would talk to him about, you know, the economy and jobs. what would he plan to do to create more jobs for young people and build the economy. same-sex marriage was a big topic, cost of education was a gigantic issue that came up with young people. so, you know, so the question would have been similar. it's not about -- we look at elections and policies through the eyes of young people. so whatever concerns them most and affects their every day life are the questions that they ask. >> one thing i was struck by was, it was about a half hour and a bunch of questions from kids, of military age, not one question about the other kids of military age who are in afghanistan were now in our 11th year of war, not one question about that. >> if we keep going in afghanistan we might get questions from those same kids ten years from now. we're aware of it and aware of the cost, a lot of people who aren't fighting it think of it as something that other people do. >> my favorite thing sway was you speaking to him father to father. >> that was interesting. one of the questions we posed what are you most worried about malia getting a driver's license. >> how old is your daughter? >> my daughter is the same age as his, 14. so i was curious as to what he would say about facebook driver's license, or dating and it was hilarious that he said i'm not worried, the secret service will follow her around. and what our power 12.org campaign that we're doing, those are the type of issues that come up as well. how does your president view a teenager or soon to be voter. i thought it went really well. we had a lot of questions we wanted to get in but we only had so much time. >> i'm sure it must be nerve racking and also you're listening to his answer thinking am i going to get another question? >> i skipped a few. the global climate we wanted to talk about that definitely because we didn't hear anything about that in the debates. that's an important issue in young americans. gun violence was an important issue that we had a chance to bring up as well. >> in very particular terms to chicago, it was great. >> sway and annamarie, thank you for joining me. >> thank you. coming up, early voting in ohio and early voting right here. and up next, on "the last word," a man who defined what it was to be

he was a husband for 64 years. he was a father for 68 years. he was a united states senator for 18 years and all of those years were celebrated today in a south dakota farewell to george mcgovern. his political career peaked in 1972. he lost the election but his governing career continued in the senate. he deemed up with another senator and put aside party politics to do something great. in 1977, senator mcgovern and dole worked together to pass the food stamp act of 1977. legislation that has been feeding hungry children and families since president jimmy carter signed it into law. george mcgovern lived just long enough to hear his most important senate work thrown at the united states as an epithet. the food stamp president. he would not be able to find a single senator who would work with him on legislation if he were in the senate today. the 21st century so far has sadly become that period in u.s. senate history when, one by one, we have begun to bury the senators who knew how to reach across the aisle and put petty partisan interest aside in order to do the important and honorable work of governing. senators in both parties who knew how to come together to do things for the history books. senators who saw hungry children and fed them. >> when you meet your maker and he asks have you fed the hungry, given drink to the thirsty and cared for the lonely. you, george, can answer yes. you.

>> we're firing up the president's base and making sure that people understand that this is a choice election and in that no one can sit this out and we have to make sure that in the state of ohio that we continue to rally the base, get folks excited and they are very excited, lawrence. contrary to what motion may be seeing. there is no enthusiasm gap in the state of ohio. they fully understand what is at stake here. >> joy reid, the obama chain has 131 field offices in ohio compared to just 40 for the romney campaign. is that all we have to know about the voter turnout situation in ohio or are there more complications to know about? >> first of all, i have to thank you lawrence for giving nina turner and i a chance to prove we are two different people. >> it's about time. >> no, it is all about ground game. at this stage of a campaign, it is all about gotv. get out the vote. it was sort of turnkey, they could turn the operation back on and the romney campaign had to ramp up which they haven't done yet. so today in ohio what you see is people literally putting people into vans and getting them to the polls. i actually saw a lot of young people at the polls, more than i would have expected and they're actually self motivated to get here and vote because they're very motivated to get it done early so they don't have to wait in line on election day. >> there was a drop in turnout for the 2010 midterm campaign. has the obama campaign been able to identify those voters and aim for them? that seems to be the first place to go to look to build up the turnout back up toward 2008 numbers. >> absolutely. we're going after them strong. make no mistake about it, the ministers in the cleveland area, or in the state of ohio to be more expansive, they are out there. we're going to make sure we 'driving out the souls to the polls. that's why when we were in the central community today, a community where some of those ridiculous billboards appeared to make sure that we say to that community that voting ask a right and that it is not a crime and that you have something at stake, your children's future is at stake and we've got to stand behind the president who believes in the state, who believes in the 47%. who believes that women should make dollar for dollar, who believe that women should have a right to chose their own bodies. they should not have to ask government for position. absolutely, ohio is in full effect and we are fired up and more than ready to go. >> if i could quickly give you a couple of stats. you talk about a drop in turnout. i spoke with the supervisors of elections here and she said that you have 266,000 people early vote in 2008, which is the first year you could do it in person as opposed to just by mail. she's expecting that to go up. she was saying people really appreciated the process and the difference this year is more people are switching to the in-person form of early voting rather than just doing it absentee. she's saying they're looking to do about 2,000 voters per day, which is up from 2008, because people are taking more advantage of the process. >> is there any problem with the number of early voting locations that are available in ohio? >> no that i've heard of, lawrence. not at all. people understand where to go. we've been early voting in the state of ohio since 2006. and people understand it, which makes it even that much more ridiculous that republicans would go after early in-person voting. but people because of the actions of the secretary of state and the gop-led legislature, people are that much more determined to make sure their voice is heard. people are mad at hell, particularly in the african-american community, that folks who have political power would try to use it to suppress the vote. but they are out and they are voting. >> and this is one case where it is fair across the board. there are 88 counties here in ohio and each gets one early vote location. but the supervisor of elections gets to choose where that is, so they can put it in the place where they feel it's more central and most convenient. in the case of cuyahoga county, it's right downtown. >> thank you both for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> good to be here. >> coming up, lena dunham made an ad for the obama campaign and it is so controversial to people who do not understand jokes. and it's made rush limbaugh think outloud, about what it would be like if he was a woman. and, i will vote. it's early voting night here on "the last word," and i'm going to need the help of a former california governor to fill out my ballot because that's how crazy and complicated it is. that's coming up. ♪ i wish my patients could see what i see. ♪ that over time, having high cholesterol and any of these risk factors can put them at increased risk for plaque buildup in their arteries. so it's even more important to lower their cholesterol, and that's why, when diet and exercise alone aren't enough, i prescribe crestor. in a clinical trial versus lipitor, crestor got more high-risk patients' bad cholesterol to a goal of under 100.

>> betsy butler is in the assembly now, richard bloom is the mayor of santa monica. >> they're both democrats, right? >> right. we have the top two system now for two republicans. >> i don't know anything about either one of them. i'm going to vote for change. >> i would recommend you vote for betsy butler. she's in the assembly. >> i've never had a governor at my side voting before, so i'm voting for betsy. >> that's a good start. >> and take credit for that one. >> this is utterly hopeless. district attorney two people i've never heard of. alan jackson, jackie lacy. see, i come to that and i just, you know, there are times when i just haven't voted when i come to one of those. i leave them blank because i don't want to encourage either one of them. what do i do? >> well i'm going to vote for jackie lacy. allen jackson is a good prosecutor and a good man, but lacy has been the chief of staff for several years and this job is a huge administrator job. people don't know, l.a. county is larger than 35 states. so you've got prosecutors all over the place. >> in this information book you get, it tells you something about alan jackson. and one of the things it seas says here for him, it says alan jackson prosecuted music producer phil specter winning los angeles county's first celebrity murder conviction in over 40 years. that's a real swipe over the o.j. case. >> it is. >> so jackie lacy, 64. >> this job is largely administrative. >> they're not in the courtroom? >> no. >> all right. now, these ballot measures, these are really tough. the first one. temporary taxes to fund education. that sounds great. guaranteed local public safety funding initiative. it's a constitutional amendment. i don't feel that i should be amending the constitution. it says it increases taxes on earnings over $250,000 for seven years and sales taxes by one quarter cent for four years. how much does it increase taxes over $250,000? >> it's a graduated scale. a little bit 250, more for 500, more over a million. >> that's not even in here. >> i'm giving you the answer. >> how are voters? >> this is the voter guide. >> it's in that? the phone book version. >> i brought that for you. in fairness this is printed front and back. i have it printed one side of the page. it's about half this side. but if you go through it, all of that is explained. >> it's just unbelievable. >> here's the deal. arnold had a temporary tax that as compared when he left off. >> i have no problem with taxation -- >> you and i will pay more, the average guy will only pay 1/4 of a cent on sales tax. >> my instinct is to vote for it. >> this is a winner take all proposition. schools either get 6 billion or they're cutting 6 billion >> i'm voting for that. number 30, i am voting yes. okay. >> number 80. >> yeah, i'm voting 80 in the box here. it's question 30. and you vote not in the 30 box, you vote in the 80 box, because it's the california ballot. >> right. time is running out. we're down to the end. roseanne barr, barack obama. i voted for obama last time. i think he deserves another shot at this. barack obama, voting number 19. we are i think running out of time here on this thing. can you hang around and help me finish this? >> sure. >> and we'll post online the results of how we finish this? >> absolutely. >> because we're not going to finish this on this show. okay, so for example, the condoms on porn sets proposition.

republican candidate and former governor george allen is in the studio to talk about the campaign. good morning to you, sir. thank you very much for coming in. >> great to be with you. you're fighting a cold. it's the last two weeks of the campaign and has to be invigorating and draining as well. >> you're running on adrenaline. what encourages susan and me is the enthusiasm we see on the trail. people want to change, really want to change washington and people are responding to our positive message, a blue print for america's comeback. >> uh. >> and there is some ways of getting jobs. have reasonable regulations, unleash our resources and all of these ideas to get our country ascending again and virginians recognize whether we have a change in washington, the senate or presidential race and so, anyone who uses electricity ought to be on our side and their ideas will help out lower electricity bills, the same as anyone driving a car and on day one, i'm honored to serve the people of virginia and i will introduce a bill to virginiava and us get items for transporting a. if mitt romney is in the white house, he'll be saying yes to virginia energy from our fields to our coal field and we have someone who doesn't have that same point of view. >> let's talk about, since you mentioned mitt romney, if you don't have mitt romney in the white house. do you think you would be able to work with the obama administration in you have been very critical of the democrats, of the obama administration and tim kaine as l. do you think you could sit down and reach across the aisle and work with them? >> i will work with anyone no matter what party, what state to create more job opportunities for virginians and americans. i would hope that if we were a majority, we could stop the e.p.a. from outlawing coal. if outlawed, all of our electricity bills will go up beyond the enormous job losses and the railroads, the coal fields and those related to it and i would hope to convince an obama administration that has been against it to allow us to produce oil and gas off of our coast and that would be, obviously, a lot easier if mitt romney's in the white house because he's taking the same position on the issue of obama care, which my opponent said, quote, would be great for democrats. i heard from many seniors, healthcare professionals, small businesses that don't want this regardless of the political pesituation, it's not right for them and they will be -- it will affect our veterans as well. tricare is tied to medicare and that is the situation, i think, what they have to do is to do it by the bill and say that the irs won't enforce these. however, to make america more prosperous, a land of opportunity, i will work with john metlet me ask but, first, congratulate you first, sunday, i believe, picked up the endorsement of the richmond times dispatch. one of your criticisms of tim kaine is that he has workd too closely or too closely aligned with the obama administration policies and even at times dispatched the endorsement, you noted that during your time in the senate. you, quote, acted as a reliable vote for president george w. bush for better or worse. what is the difference between your support for president george w. bush and tim kaine's support for president obama? >> it's not the personalities it's the policies. i personally like obama a great deal. i like him and admire him. it's the issues, the agendas tim kaine is supporting that are hurting virginians. this outlaw of coal is harmful to communities in southwest worry -- southwest virginia and railroads and those that use the electricity. the same thing with the keystone pipeline. if we're going to import oil, canada is a great ally. the sequestration bill is jeopardizing over 200,000 jobs in virginia. i could never imagine being for something that could be harmful, so harmful to our military readiness and jobs of virginians. even secretary defense panetta said it would be devastating and rather than saying we should raise taxes, raising taxes, people are hurting and this is not a time to raise taxes with this weak economy. the solution is to stop the defense cuts, make priorities and the senate hasn't passed a budget in 3 1/2 years. >> you talked a lot about, not just you, but a lot of others talk about the sequestration which would, i think everyone agrees, would have dramatic effects across the country and devastating affects in virginia, particularly with the defense cuts and you talk about you can't imagine supporting it. it was, it was a bipartisan coalition of people who supported it. the purpose was to force some agreements and some decisions to be made regarding congress. do you think they're going to allow sequestration to happen? and how do you suppose stopping that from happening and protecting virginia? >> first of all, they sloughed off responsibility to another commission, which failed and where are we in $1.4 trillion deeper in debt, our credit rating is downgraded and we have the devastating cuts. my opponent tim kaine said it's the right thing to do. i think it's the height of your responsibility. the hie house, by the way, in may, passed the measure to avert the cuts. making them where it's not perfect but it's a start. the senate's done absolutely nothing and that is why needs to be done. can you take the house version and add revenue in and can you close loopholes. let's get tax reform so the tax code is much more simple, fair is come competitive, where we can find a basis of bipartisan agreement and utilize the american energy resources. if we do so, and not just in virginia but to alaska. the federal government can get $1 trillion in revenues without raising taxes. there are ways of averting this and setting priorities rather than sloughing it off on commissions. it's the democrats, and i don't want a partisanship, they're the ones who said let's have the $500 billion, half of the cuts coming from the paramount responsibility andd federal government, the national defense. not only is it wrong, it's dangerous to use it, the 200,000 men and women who have jobs in virginia as a political bargaining trip to raise taxes to create small business. >> tim kaine supported the budget control act, i believe, and the setup of the southwest rage. do you honestly believe that he supports losing 200,000 jobs in virginia? >> we're had several debates and in one of the recent debates, he said it was the right thing to do. now he's saying, also out of the democrats in washington, are saying the only way to avert it is by raising taxes on job creating small business owners. raising taxes is not away of creating more jobs. in fact, it would be job losses from it and the big difference revenues. what, i think there needs to be reasonable cuts and restraints on spending. tim's point on raising revenue news is raising taxes. there is another way and that is where with a vibrant economy that is healthy and growing and business is prospering and individuals working as opposed to getting unemployment benefits and that is a big difference and that is why energy is the solution for much of it and let's work together to reform the tax code to, rather than having the worst in the world on taxes, let's be better-than-average and my proposal that i put forward would help create over 500,000 jobs a year and the government would get over $23 billion more in revenues and we would have more investment in america. >> all right, governor, we'll come back and talk about taxes and injury. we have to take a break here. can you is stay with us and we'll come back and talk with governor george allen. we'll be right back. 741time. a: i'm barack obama and i approve... this message. 7:41. that's what mitt romney called forty-seven percent... of americans. including people on medicare. but what about his plan for you? romney would replace guaranteed benefits with a voucher system. seniors could pay six thousand dollars more a year. a plan aarp says would undermine medicare. you're no victim...you earned your benefits. don't let mitt romney take them away. imillion dollars for maryland one hundred schools.ty... question seven will double it. rushern baker: question seven will add table games and... a new casino, generating millions of dollars... every year, without raising taxes. leggett: and audits will ensure the money goes... where it's supposed to. more jobs, and millions for schools. baker: question seven will be good for our kids... our teachers, and our schools. leggett: keep maryland money in maryland. baker: please vote for question seven. leggett: vote for question seven. . welcome back at 744time, we're talking with the former governor george allen of virginia, the republican senate candidate in virginia. sir, we're talking about taxes. i mentioned that the richmond times dispatch endorsed you and the "washington post" did not. they endorsed tim kaine. >> not a surprise. >> in their endorsement of cane, they said, quote, you have signed a pledge to never raise taxes, thereby allowing ideology to trump bipartisan compromise. how do you respond to that? >> i respond to them on the side of the taxpayers. they working really hard and families and business owners. if they want to go to washington and work for tax increases, i am not your person. we reduced taxes and cut them back $600 million. i would have liked to have cut them more, but that is all we could get. and we have the taxes off of social security, removed the discriminatory tax against federal and military retirees and with all of that, over 300,000 net new jobs were created during my four years. tim, on the other hand, tried to raise taxes and by $4 billion, people earning as little as $17,000 a year. over 100,000 jobs were lost when he was governor, so, the way you grow the economy, you mentioned supporting various policies in the past. i am glade supported the tax cuts that we passed in 2001- 2003. over 7 million jobs were created and we remarks verted the recession that was -- we reverted the recession that was coming after 2011. this is the tax code, and where i think we can come together and get a solution. there are democrats and republicans advocate a flatter more similar tax on our country. some are advocating higher than 20%, some lower. i think we can get around and if the number is 22.17, let's get it done. whatever helps to create the most jobs and reducing the taxes will make our country more competitive for investment investment and jobs, raising taxes will harm working families. >> i think, you know, we understand the need for taxes. nobody likes high taxes, but do you see any scenario under which you would raise taxes? sometimes are tough. are there any scenarios where you can see yourself raising taxes? >> this is where i see the comprehensive tax reform. on corporations, businesses is 35%. john deere, for example, pays an effective rate of 33%. some corporations pay zero. if the taxes say 20%, john deere's taxes will be lower but those paying zero will have more higher taxes. end up with a competitive and simplified approach. >> a minute left. >> tim kaine, what do you like about him? is there anything you admire about tell cape? >> we're actually friends. we get along. we do a debate and have different points of view. he was a cheerful person in in that respect, when he's advocating for his partisan views which, are different than mine. >> folks want to know something personal about the candidates. do you have an ipod? >> i have an ipad and a blackberry. >> do you listen to music? what is your favorite music? >> country music. >> country music. favorite artist? >> i would have to go with johnny cash. >> the classic?

pittsburgh 670. 62 detroit and it's slightly warmer air off to the west that is moving in on a southwest wind. yesterday we got in the low 70s. monday turned into a great day. i think it will be warmer today. why the warm conditions? the jet stream. we have been talking about the big storms out to the west. with a big dip in the jet streams, they have cool air for the week and we are on the warm side of things. temperatures will be well above normal not only today but for the remainder of the week. the temperatures will be in the 70s every day. today will be the warmest with highs approaching 80. there is the accuweather seven day. 7 this afternoon. partly sunny conditions expected. nice tomorrow, thursday, friday, you get the idea. big changes for the end of the weekend. cold front. maybe the remnants of sandy. we have to watch that. highs on monday 54 degrees. that is weather. let's get traffic with julie wright. >> got to pull out the scarf and mittens now. >> not today. >> on monday. 54 degrees. >> that is a week away, julie. >> i have to prepare for these things, tucker. on the roads, prepare for a sl ride. southbound gw parkway, 24 minute ride. earlier problem at the key bridge has cleared. delays on the outer loop north on the beltway leaving route 4 to the bw parkway a 24 minute commute. 295 before the bridge has cleared. kenilworth avenue is slow past the dc line. inbound new york avenue is congested through the traffic lights northeast to northwest. inbound on 66 at 234 south in manassas, accident off to the shoulder. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. the time for debating is over. now back to campaign trail. did any of the matchups change voters minds? joining us is dr. chris arterton. let's talk about the three debates that we just sat through. i was joking with you for about 10 1/2 hours of our life the last two weeks or so. what did you think about the debates just putting it in historical perspective. >> trial -- historically debates don't often change people's minds. but i think the first debate clearly had a major impact on the race. the obama campaign spent the entire summer sort of chase testing mr. romney as being out of touch and then during the first debate he showed himself to be personable and articulate. i think that take away a lot of the attacks that obama had pushed toward him. beyond that, i think the debates have been won, if that's the word, which i don't think, by mr. obama but i think the real question is were they able to accomplish what they wanted. last night they were speaking to very narrow segments of the undecided voters and trying to appeal to them. >> doctor, what picks up steam what gets the attention of the people watching and even the people there. when they had the exchange about the size of the military, i think you heard a little laughter. i'm not sure what you heard in the audience but what do you think gets the attention of people to maybe dare i say sway a voter to one side or the other. >> i think unfortunately what gets the attention of the media and folks who spend their time watching this are the zingers, the one-liners where they really put people down. i think the voters on the other hand are trying to seek real knowledge and debates are not true debates in one person identifying what they want then a reason discussion of that. they are more like joint press conferences where each is staying to his talking points trying to communicate a message to those last few undecided voters. for example, last night we saw a lot about women both obama talking about women in the middle east and they need to improve their lives and then both candidates talking about the economy here trying to link that to foreign policy. but basically trying to appeal to women which appears to be the most critical voters that will really determine the election. >> we could pick out little things in debates going way back. actually, let's go way back. let's talk about the nixon, president nixon with the 5:00 shadow of the sweaty appearance. are people watching for body language or appearance as much as they are listening or does that not really matter? >> i think in the age of television -- you mentioned the first televised debate, appearances are important. in that particular case, much like today, last night, we had a person who was well known having served as vice president for eight years and a challenger completely unknown. so, in terms of kind of the pecking order, the prestige that people gave nixon versus kennedy, kennedy's appearance put him on an equal footing with the vice president. that did have a major impact. >> not to interrupt you but we saw in the first debate a lot was made of the president looking down and vice president joe biden sort of with that smile on his face when he went up against paul ryan. so, you know, you do sort of notice it and perhaps it's because of that format as you call it the joint press conference. >> yeah. i think that is certainly true. i thought in that first debate you did a lot of head shots and you would switch between romney and obama and romney is physically bigger. his head is bigger than obama, particularly with the haircut and obama's close cut hair. when you shifted from one quickly to the other, the president came off as looking less vigorous, if you will, than romney did. but i think that was one of the reasons why obama went on the attack in the second and third debate was that he could not sit back and let romney capture the attention. >> it's been a pleasure talking to you. fascinating. >> i enjoyed it. >> we will be right back. thanks again. president obama: i'm barack obama and i approve... this message. anncr: victims. dependent. that's what mitt romney called forty-seven percent... of americans. including people on medicare. but what about his plan for you? romney would replace guaranteed benefits with a voucher system. seniors could pay six thousand dollars more a year. a plan aarp says would undermine medicare. you're no victim...you earned your benefits. don't let mitt romney take them away. who move our country forward, work hard, raise families, and keep america strong. but mitt romney's budget plan will hurt the middle class, raising taxes on the average family by up to $2,000, while giving a tax break of $250,000 to multimillionaires. doesn't mitt romney understand we can't rebuild america by tearing down the middle class. priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. what will the next four years be like? one: the debt will grow from $16 trillion to $20 trillion. two: 20 million americans could lose their employer-based health care. three: taxes on the middle class will go up

>> well, good morning, tony. the numbers are growing. there is 297 nationwide with 23 deaths. in your area, 17 cases in maryland with one death and 41 in virginia with two deaths. now, these deal with that first lot of drugs. those individuals almost all have been contacted, according to the dc -- cdc. last count more than 97% that were contacted. when the people are contacted they are evaluated. i know in the state of florida, some of the people notified were found to be infected. so they didn't present. they had to be notified to find out that they had the infection or the symptoms of the infection. so, they are saying that the symptoms can be so subtle that people don't know they have it. that is concerning. almost all have been contacted. the second round of drugs include drugs injected into the joint, eye or back. another drug injected into hearts. now, two patients, one was a heart transplant patient and a woman that got the different steroid inject when her back both developed fungal infections. at this point in time the fda is not saying that it was directedly linked to the nec drugs but they are asking all the medical centers to contact those individuals. at this point in time i was unable to get a count how many had been contacted. that contact may come in an e- mail, letter, phone call. one of the cernes that i called said that they are personally calling each and every patient just to make sure that they are okay. >> tell us about this particular meningitis. not all meningitis from what i understand is deadly. why is this one so deadly. >> well, you know, you have to remember that fungal meningitis is relatively rare. it affects people that have come pro mizeed immune systems. this drug that was contaminated with the fungus was directed -- injected into the final cord. so, our immune testimony didn't have the opportunity in some of these individuals to fight it in essence. especially here we heard of an age rage of people as young as 27, 28 being infected up to 87. so, it can happen to anyone because of the mode of transmission and the way it was injected. >> i want to switch gears quickly. all of us dealt with the stomach rumbling. i deal with it every morning on the set. people associate that with pregnancy. obviously i don't. you say everybody gets them? >> yes, they do. i mean, we all have those cravings. they are not coming from our stomach or digestive track but our brain. something within the brain triggers us to say i want that food. one of the big examples is popcorn in a movie theater or turkey dinner on thanksgiving. we associate pleasant things with the foods that we eat. we may want them or crave them. there is also the thought that perhaps we may be compromising for something else. like if we are down, we may need higher ser ton inlevels so we reach for the carbs, those carbs that help us increase the serotonin in the brain. there are dopamine receptors that are energized. there is a drug they are testing to decrease cravings. >> dr. jo, thank you, we appreciate it. >> thank you. still ahead, celebration in the streets of san francisco. dave ross joins us with highlights of game 7 of the national league championship series. series. [ mitt romney ] we have to work on a collaborative basis. look, the reason i'm in this race is there are people that are really hurting today in this country. and we face this deficit -- could crush the future generations. and republicans and democrats both love america but we need to have leadership -- leadership in washington that will actually bring people together and get the job done and could not care less if it's a republican or a democrat. i've done it before, i'll do it again. i'm mitt romney, and i approve this message. well, it seven games but the world series is finally set. >> we like that. we like seven games. the giants host the detroit tigers. i don't know why i'm reading this. dave is here. he has the sports. >> when you get a game 7 it's drama. every pitch you are on the edge of your seat. not so much last night. this thing was over before it began. i kept thinking this could have been in d.c. it could have been red towels we were waving. torture but that's what i do. big play of the day. i don't know where he thought the ball was going. and here comes the kung-fu panda. all three runs come around to score. 5-0 game which becomes a 9-0 game. the route was on. i guess as a nats fan do you feel better seeing the cardinals lose. >> i do. >> i wanted it to be more. >> bigger than that. >> i didn't get as much satisfaction as i thought i would seeing them lose. giants and detroit, game one tomorrow night. justin verlander going for the tigers. allison you had a chris cooley related question. a girlfriend into football had fred davis on her fantasy team. he is out. she is like should i pick up chris cooley if he's available. >> i had fred catches on my fantasy team as well. i would not rush out in the free agent market and pick up chris cooley. logan paulson might be a better option as far as statistics go for the redskins. i expect him to get the start. chris cooley is back. he said this on his facebook page about 30 minutes ago. dam, i have to go to work today. work hard, play hard. >> welcome back chris. >> that's the way he rolls as the kids say. but he is back. we would expect him to practice and possibly see time sunday as well. i don't know how big of a fantasy impact he will make right away. i think eventually you will see him work himself back in as long as the knee holds up and be productive. >> he is living a fantasy life, isn't he? >> i feel bad about fred davis. he is great. that is a big loss. i had a feeling somehow cooley would come back. >> that's why he stuck around. >> rg3, final thoughts, i hope fans realize how good this kid has been. this is a fourth down play. one of the better plays you will see. keep this alive and find logan paulson for the first down. that lead them down on the drive that they went ahead with on the santana moss touchdown. but he does everything. i don't want to say by himself but i will say this. he and alfred morris are the two big changes from the offense from a year ago and this offense is light-years ahead of where it was a year ago. it's all about as i like to call them the ferrari. >> what he did to complete the pass as he is going to the ground, unbelievable. >> i sat there in the meadowlands like this. he does things every week that make you drop your jaw. >> he got a clap from the giants fans as he walked off the field. coming up, from the big screen to the stage at the kennedy center. >> holly is live with a look at war horse. >> you will be impressed. this is amazing. war horse rides in tonight at the kennedy center. the star of the show, the horse so big it takes three actors to pull it off. pull it off. teacher: this is west virginia, pennsylvania, delaware. and this is maryland. every year marylanders spend five hundred and fifty million gaming at casinos in these other states. question seven will build a new casino and bring table games to baltimore... generating hundreds of millions for schools. and that money has to go to education. it's the law. so vote for question seven. so we can stop spending all that money here, and keep maryland money in classrooms like mine. ♪ we were skikipping stones ♪ and letting go ♪ over the river and down the road ♪ [ female announcer ] at nature valley, we know nature comes together in amazing ways. that's why we bring together natural ingredients, like dark chocolate with toasted oats, or sweet golden honey. perfect combinations of nature's delicious ingredients, from nature valley. ♪ ♪ i was thinking that i hope this never ends ♪ [ female announcer ] nature valley granola bars, nature at its most delicious.

what are you? >> there is a good mix of actors and dancers and a few puppet tears as well anyone that starts with war horse is i will equipped. they taught us everything from the ground up. i think it's the power of teamwork. >> i'm glad you brought that up. communication has to be the key. how do you make three become one and how do you communicate on stage to make sure that it's working the way it should. >> breath is the key things. they are adamant about the puppets breathing, struggling to life to be a life form. breathing is the key to that. the heart position which brian plays, the heart and lungs of the show. so, he basically creates the breathing by doing that small plea i didn't which allows joey to rise and fall. >> we are all breathing together right now. >> i didn't know it. you guys are in sync. you are being funny when you say it's subtle but for tomb people to believe the horse is real it is in those subtle movements, the twitch of the ear. >> we call it micro movement. when you see a tiny thing like the twitch of an ear or a leg stomping up and back down, the reaction is somebody in the audience nudging the person next to them, did you see that, it's scared. >> the horse is a character as much as everyone else. >> those little movements tell the story so clearly and they seem like such little things but they fill out the picture. >> let's talk about the horse sounds. how does one learn to winnie?

>> i think the president was making a satirical point which is quite funny if you go and watch the video. >> reporter: trying to explain what the president 34e7meant whe told "the wall street journal" the meaning of juneteenth. >> he did not just learn about juneteenth this week. that's simply not true. >> reporter: asked about the video tweeted out by the president two toddlers on a sidewalk, trying to make a point about racism in the u.s., twitter has disabled the video in that tweet saying it violates copy right rules. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. this talk about president's trump's upcoming rally today, i'm joined by leslie vinjamuri, professor of politics of chatham house of london. >> good to see you, natalie. >> bottom line, leslie, by all accounts, supporters are excited to see this rally, they've been camped out a few days. covid or know covid. it's a base, what does that say about his base standing behind their man? >> i think for starters, people all over the world are eager to see other people. it's a natural desire. but we are living through an extraordinary pandemic that's hit america hardest of all. and the signal that the president sends to people about the measures that we absolutely must take to protect and prevent the spread of the virus and the uptick in deaths of americans is the most important signal. the most important platform. and the president is not enforcing a decision to -- the requirement of wearing masks. it's absolutely essential. you're listening to dr. fauci say, wash your hands, keep your distance and wear your masks. and we're not going to see distance-keeping or mask-wearing. remember, natalie, what we've been told that superspreaders are the most dangerous cause of the spread of the infection. and events -- large events that take place indoors, that's really as dangerous as it gets, for spreading his infection. so, i think it comes at a very risky time. it sends a very bad signal to have the president -- and people are taking their lead from this president. and remember this is also coming at a time where a national conversation about race has been taking place for several weeks that needs to be led with a great deal of care and respect. so people will be watching to see what the president says about race. >> yeah, i wanted to ask you about that. because he hasn't addressed directly what this country is the going through at an unprecedented time in our history. the question is will he talk about racism? will he say black lives matter? will he mention juneteenth? how important is this moment for him as we approach november in a few months? >> well, it's extremely important. and one has to wonder, you know, what it is that president trump is trying to do. remember that he's very down in the polling nationally by approximately 9%, if you a aggregate the different polls. his base is staying with him. in order to bring more people in, i think it's incredibly important that the president address the question of race. that's the majority of americans -- americans see this as a problem that needs addressing. regardless of whether he actually talks about black lives matter directly, the fact that the president is in tulsa, the city of the 1921 -- one of the worst massacres of black citizens in america. and the fact that he's there, the day after juneteenth, it's sending a very clear signal that ra race isn't on the agenda. and so the need for him to address it and that he respects it is aabsolutely essential. remember, that the vice president has not used the phrase black lives matter. i think it's a very dangerous reason for health reasons. for reasons having to do with social unrest in the united states. this is a president who thinks his ticket for re-election has everything to do with restoring the american health. we've just seen 1.5 million new jobless claims. he'll be very sensitive to that. opening up america and getting americans to get out and participate out and about, it's something that the president believes will drive economic productivity, but if it leads to infection, it will could exactly the opposite. unfortunately despite numerous health advisers saying this to the president, the president is not sending a clear signal to w. i want to talk to you about another story, the trump administration releasing the resignation. i'll get your opinion in a moment, leslie. but first, here's cnn's evan perez with more details. >> manhattan district attorney matthew berman is refusing to resign. the attorney general william barr met with berman in new york and asked him to step down but berman said he's not going anywhere. hours after the justice department announced that berman was indeed leaving his office, berman released a statement saying in part, quote, i learned in a press release from the attorney general tonight that i was stepping down as united states attorney. i have is not resigned and i have no intention of resigning, my position by which i was appointed by the judges of the united states court for the southern district of new york. i will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the senate. the president intends to nominate jay clayton to take over the officer in manhattan u.s. attorney. berman's office has been overseeing a number of sensitive cases, including the investigation into the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani. evan perez, cnn, washington. >> all right. so, leslie, could be another show down at the justice department. there's been no love lost, of course, between the southern district and washington. do you think this move is indicative of that? >> well, it is the southern district of new york is, of course, very well-known for its very tight hold on its independence. it's stood apart. it's pursued some of the most hi high-stakes investigations of michael cohen. now of giuliani. there's an investigation into a turkish company that might have violated sanctions against iran that's come out in john bolton's book. and so, it's perhaps not surprising that there is a call for the prosecutor to resign. but the fact that he's holding on firmly, waiting for a legitimate -- what he sees as a legitimate process to appoint somebody new is a disturbing, distressing and harkens back to the early days when people in the trump administration learned that they were being fired by text message and other mechanism. >> like the fbi director, mr. comey. >> that's right. so it's very disturbing, it's very untelgsettlinunsettling. but we're getting used to seeing these type of politics. i think it goes to the heart of the matter which is does this president respect the independents of the different parts of the government. this is vital to the health of the democracy. it's deeply concerning, we're seeing this in the questions of the appointments, some of the dismantling of the leadership across the voices of america. time and time again, there's a question of respecting the independence of the judiciary, especially but, remember, natalie, it's also been an extraordinary week in america, as you know, supreme court rulings that didn't go perhaps as the president might have thought. so it's a mixed story but one to watch. >> we certainly will. we appreciate your insight. leslie vinjamuri for us. >> thank you. numerous u.s. states as we've been talking about are posting record high counts of covid-19, as the pandemic compaer appears to be escalating in some regions and americans are divided how to respond. we'll dig into that next. also, commemorating the end of slavery while seeking reform from police brutality. now america's juneteenth celebrations are looking for the future. pain for up to 12 hours, yet non-addictive and gentle on the body. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu. as business moves forward, we're all changing the way things get done. like how we redefine collaboration... how we come up with new ways to serve our customers... and deliver our products. but no matter how things change, one thing never will - you can rely on the people and the network of at&t... to help keep your business connected. frustrated that clean clothes you want to wear always seem to need an iron?

all you need is test and trace of good public health, combined with personal responsibility, masks, social distancing and handwashing. mu put it together and new zealand reporting zero cases. >> reporter: you got that right, new zealand routinely reports zero cases per day. and then a steep drop, 5,000 cases a day. and u.s., five times that and climbing. >> what europe did differently, they stayed locked down a bit longer. a bit more uniformly. >> reporter: the day florida has phase one open there were only 4,000 cases in the state. today, 5,000. >> i don't think we slow down to move forward. >> reporter: the governor thinks it's down to testing. even his adviser disagrees. >> there are about 18 states where the positivity rates are going up. which means if the cases are going it's not because you're doing more testing. >> reporter: the northeast pushing ahead was the new york governor's last daily covid briefing. >> today, we are seeing the virus spread in many places. more people will die. and it doesn't have to be that way. forget the politics. be smart. >> reporter: and even more bad news for sports fan late friday. the toronto blue jays baseball team has also closed down their spring training and facility after a player showed symptoms. the tampa bay lightning hockey team also closed down after three players tested positive. and a pga golfer has also now tested positive for covid-19. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. >> let's talk about what's going on in the united states with dr. peter drobac, an infectious disease doctor. good morning. >> good morning, natalie. >> let's start in tulsa, oklahoma. we're just hours away from president trump's rally, the crowd will be huge. cases are up 110% from last week. masks will be handed out, but they're not mandatory. is that enough to protect people in a crowded indoor venue? >> it's not. and this is just such a high-risk undertaking. one thing we've learned during this pandemic is that superspreader events have been really important drivers of this, more that's a church or a pub in south korea or a mardi gras festival in the u.s. if you were to design a super spreader event based on what we know about covid-19 it would look like a lot like this rally today. so i'm extremely concerned as most are about the risk of getting 17,000 people in a closed indoor space. >> it's not just oklahoma as we just heard a huge rise in cases. 23 states have seen spikes in states compared to last week. what is going wrong in the u.s.? why are we seeing this? >> it really comes down to a total failure of leadership. at this stage of the pandemic, we know enough about how the virus spreads, how it kills and how to stop it. that we've got a playbook that does work. unfortunately, that hasn't been followed in many parts of the country. what happened was, in many states things reopened too quickly. and we're now starting to see the results of that. of this is not down town creased testing. we're seeing increases positivity rates fill up. we're seeing hospitals start fill up. this is an extraordinarily dangerous moment in america. >> yeah, why is it happening in the u.s. and not europe? what did they do that we're not doing? >> well shg, a couple of things. of course many parts of europe, we saw a massive first wave that overwhelmed health system untin some part of those countries as we did in the u.s. we also saw fairly significant lockdowns. i think in the american areas we held on to them longer and waited until transmission was at a lower rate before reopening. in many parts of europe, we're seeing more widespread mask use and more areas of testing and some cases contact tracing programs. unfortunately what happened in the u.s. after all those weeks of people making those great sacrifices of sheltering in place, we took our foot off the gas too quickly and now we're paying the consequences. >> right. some people thought that it was over and we're still in phase one. that previous report that we saw from our reporter there filed, showed the hesitation of people wearing masks. and some leaders have tended to mandate mask wearing plus social distancing. where do you think state leaders should be on this? >> so, if you look at a place like arizona and florida right now what will we have is the early phases of a raging uncontrolled epidemic. it's already in a place where even if there was contact tracing in place it's not going to keep up with transmission at this level. there's really only a couple options to slow this down. one would be to move towards a lockdown to get people home, frankly that would be advisable. the second thing to be done is to make mask wearing ubiquitous when people are out in public. that could significantly reduce transmission. the more evidence we have is more important. it's a six-fold decrease in transmission if people are wearing masks. governors need to think about this, if they're reluctant to slow down their reopenings, the only other tool they've got is to make mask wearing the norm. >> i want to talk with you, though, before we go, about the world. what the world is seeing, peter. more than 150,000 new cases were reported friday. the most in a single day so far. months into this massive all kinds of responses to try to limit the spread, what does that tell you about this virus? >> well, as we've been saying for a long time, we're still very much in the early days of this pandemic. and anyone who thought we were out of the woods, unfortunately was wrong. we're seeing the pandemic grow around the world as quickly as it ever has, with really concerning developments in latin america and some parts of sub-saharan africa. and elsewhere. the flip side is we have learned places like new zealand and china have taught us how to suppress the virus and get it under control. there is a playbook and it's not too late for us to go on offense on this virus and try to crush it. it won't be easy. it will require sustained investments, attention, solidarity. but it's really what we have to do until we get a vaccine. otherwise, we're just going to continue to see extraordinary levels of unacceptable deaths. >> it's just going to be a cycle. and we will have trouble getting ahead of it, peter drobac, always appreciate your insights. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, natalie. we're staying on this topic. thousands packed in an arena during a family. what could possibly go wrong?

no. but i can stand -- when i went to a dinner house in nebraska nobody had masks on and the lady said, you want more coffee? i felt normal. normal. >> reporter: nothing about this concerns you? >> none. zero. >> reporter: but in this very same city -- why did you decide to close this plant? >> for safety of our own. >> reporter: he's the manager of the school bus plant in tulsa. last year we were the number one market share of school buses. >> reporter: shutdown is planned this week. confirmed covid cases are rapidly climbing over the last weeks. >> i purchased 1400 covid kits. >> reporter: earlier this week, all of the employees still being paid were told to come in to get tested. based on results, the decision will be made how long the plant has to stay closed. when it's operating, 300 buses are made each week. lots of money is being lost. but the plant manager said this is a responsible decision in an increasingly vulnerable city. >> i got to make sure people are safe. >> reporter: roberta is a veteran of the plant, a father of three. >> i think it's right for the not only my safety but the safety of my family. i get to bring that home if i get it. >> thousands of people in the arena many without masks, how worried are you about a dramatic spike in cases in this county? >> in any event, without people wearing masks we're concerned. >> with thousands of people? >> we're concerned. people coming together without taking precautions is what causes the virus to transmit. it gives the virus the ability to transmit from person to person. of course, we're concern. >> because i'm not going to get it. i'm not going to give it to somebody else. >> how do you know? >> reporter: one city, two completely different visions. a factory people are relieved not to be inside because of the health threat. and an upcoming rally where people can't wait to get inside despite the health threat. >> the plant manager is prepared for the possibility of many more of his employees testing positive. >> we take it very seriously. it will continue to drive our energy we we drive it out of this plant. >> reporter: gary tuchman, cnn, tulsa, oklahoma. >> here's our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta on the potential risk of the trump campaign rally. >> if you look at the incidents of the virus in that area right now, you'd expect about 100 people, roughly, would show up at that event, already infected. maybe they don't know they have the virus, but they have it. if you look at certain principles of public health about 20 of those people are going to be significantly shedding the virus. 20 people out of 20,000. here's the problem, because the sort of environment there, those 20 people could inspect 40 to 50 people each. which means 800 to 1,000 people could become infected as a result of this. >> well, in the state of arizona, a heated debate there has erupted over requiring masks in public places. friday, the state reported its biggest single number of new cases that's more than 3200. phoenix, the next city to host a trump rally is now mandating masks. but it seems arizonaens have gone back to prepandemic times. cnn's kyung lah shows us. >> reporter: pandemic? what pandemic? what do you see when you look at that bar? >> obviously, they're definitely not social distancing, and not wearing masks. those are my friends over there. >> if they have coronavirus, i have coronavirus. >> reporter: this is the next state to host a presidential rally. arizona, a growing covid-19 hot spot, and home to a fight over masks. look up and down the street, and the impact of the virus is everywhere. some businesses still shut down. bright signs warn to socially distance. one bar worker in a mask, but many of these tempe arizona residents -- >> i think the masks are good. but i think they kind of act as a placebo to a certain extent. >> i'm trying to be calm for this interview. >> reporter: this doctor is an emergency room dock in phoenix, where he's seen a dramatic increase in covid-19 patients just like the rest of the state. this is what's happened in arizona since march. the number of new cases continues to break records nearly every day this week. arizona was among the first states to reopen. businesses back. the gatherings followed like the protests of police brutality. and masks in public, as we saw in tempe, not always used. >> to tell the whole world that basically i'm a social darwinist. if you die, i don't care, i just want my beer and burger. is really -- i mean even kindergartners have more empathy. it's upsetting. >> reporter: this doctor is one of 3,000 doctors to sign this letter. the goal to get the arizona governor to issue a statewide mandate requiring masks. writing, please stand up and education as well as protect those who do not understand the importance of masks. doug ducey, instead, says, he will leave that policy to each mayor. >> governor of our state is going to let the mayors decide. the mayors could say i'm going to let the neighborhoods decide. that breaks down uneffectively. >> reporter: governor ducey shifted. last week, he carried his mask in his pocket. this week, he arrived wearing it, as ducey prepares to host the potentially maskless president on tuesday for a indoor rally at a megachurch, the governor says that he will call for masks. ducey stressed that the event should go on. >> we're going to protect people's rights to assemble in an election year. >> reporter: the city of phoenix passed an ordinance requiring masks in public places. so when the trump campaign is here on tuesday will it be subject to the ordinance? the city says yes and notified the white house about the ordinance. if the president isn't wearing a mask does that mean he'll get a ticket? technically, yes. in reality, no. the city said this ordinance is meant to be led by education. only the worst repeat offenders will be subject to tickets and fines. kyung lah, cnn, scottsdale, arizona. the anniversary of the end of slavery in america was commemorated on friday. next, we show you how juneteenth was marked this year as the u.s. struggles to live up to its ideals of freedoms and justice for all. also, after an atlanta police officer is charged with felony murder, there's backlash within the police force. we'll tell you what's going on. ♪ ♪ piled high with veggies they're back. any footlong is a $5 footlong when you buy two. for a limited time. subway. eat fresh. subway. i don't have to worry about that, do i?are irritated. harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify, voted product of the year. it works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. gum detoxify, from crest. i but what i do count on...ts anis boost high protein...rs, and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones. try boost mobility, with added collagen. a lotta folks are asking me lately how to get their dishes as clean as possible. i tell them, you should try cascade platinum plus the power of oxi. cascade platinum + oxi penetrates and breaks down food soils some detergents can leave behind, washing away even the smallest food residue, so it doesn't redeposit on your dishes. and oxi is cascade's most powerful clean, formulated without any chlorine bleach, for a deep hygienic clean you can see and feel. cascade + the power of oxi. the #1 recommended brand in north america. yeah. this moving thing never gets any easier. well, xfinity makes moving super easy. i can transfer my internet and tv service in about a minute. wow, that is easy. almost as easy as having those guys help you move. we are those guys. that's you?
